BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the Citizens of Duxbury:
The Old Age Assistance law has not been changed any from the previous year.
Each poll tax payer is assessed one dollar each year toward the State's share of expense.
The towns pay two-thirds and state one-third.
There were 18 receiving aid Jan. 1, 1933. There have been 7 added during the year. 3 have died, and 1 been dropped. Receiving aid Jan. 1, 1934 were 21.
Respectfully submitted,
SIDNEY C. SOULE, HARRY F. SWIFT, CHARLES R. CROCKER,
Bureau of Old Age Assistance.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of Duxbury:
There seems to be a greater demand for aid during these times of depression. While it is true that the C. W. A. work has relieved the situation slightly, it has also created a demand for work or welfare aid that did not appear before. The amount of Government money that we have been able to obtain has been far too little to furnish all jobs that seek them, thus making it exceeding- ly hard to keep them satisfied.
We have at the present time five inmates in the In- firmary, three men and two women.
Respectfully submitted,
SIDNEY C. SOULE, HARRY F. SWIFT, CHARLES R. CROCKER,
Board of Public Welfare.

REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury:
GREETINGS :
This Department has had quite a busy year, but with a small loss of property. As I have said, the fires we do not have are the ones I am proudest of. This means pre- vention of and cooperation by the property owners. Care- lessness in the home causes a large percent of the fires. Almost every new device for greater comfort and ease in the home provides a possible fire hazard, if not carefully used and cared for. I wish to say that the oil burners placed in your heaters with an inadequate chimney or flue for this purpose will be a source of great trouble in the future and wish to recommend a Building Inspector who will see that all construction and re-construction is prop- erly done to insure safety.
Following is the Fire Record for this year:

Assessed value of property having fires $62,730.
The apparatus is in good shape and every possible care taken to insure the safety of your home.
The Fire Department secured an allottment of C. W. A. funds under the Fire Control Project supervised by the Mass. Dept. of Agriculture. Under the able supervision of B. O. Dawes an entirely new Water Hole has been con- structed in the Tar Kiln District. This Hole furnishes practically an unlimited amount of water and protection through the fire season for approximately $100,000 worth of real and personal property in that District. A Water Hole off Autumn Avenue has been re-diked and stone masonry built for walls and pumping platform, furnish- ing an unlimited amount of water for house or forest fire protection in that District.
Other Water Holes, forty in number, have been im- proved or re-located throughout that part of the Town which lays outside the Hydrant District. The location of these holes has been mapped and numbered. Identifi- cation signs erected at each, making the total forty-two. The construction and design of the more important Water Holes is such that they will be permanent and can be kept efficient with very little cost in the future.
-136-
We are hopeful that the Insurance Exchange will recognize the efficiency of these Water Holes and by so doing will lower the insurance rates in these localities. I am working to that end.
Respectfully submitted,
H. E. MERRY,
Fire Chief.

REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury:
GREETINGS :
This Department owing to the wet spring had a very peaceful year. Only 28 fires burning over an area of less than 10 acres.
Modock St. has been brushed out, making a good fire break in this section. Also a road running from Modock St. in back of the property on West St. Another road from Mayflower St. through Myrick's Peat Hole, making these roads a fire break as well as easy access for the apparatus to reach any fire in that neighborhood.
The apparatus is in good repair. The cooperation of the citizens has been splendid, for which we thank you.
We were fortunate in being well equipped before the depression hit, as no new equipment is necessary to carry on this work. However ,a larger appropriation is neces- sary to carry on this work.
Respectfully submitted,
H. E. MERRY,
Forest Warden.

REPORT OF DUMP DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury:
GREETINGS :
The same policies will be continued at this place as in the past, more evergreens will be set out and the place kept in its usual immaculate condition.
Mr. Randall has made an excellent man for this posi- tion. I wish to take this opportunity to thank the patrons for their cooperation. It has been a great help in making this the beauty spot it is.

H. E. MERRY,
Superintendent.

REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
GENTLEMEN :
Since the last report work has been carried on about the same as last year.
Creosoting egg clusters from Jan. 1st 1933, until about May 15th, 1933.
It was then time to start spraying. And this was carried on until the middle of July.
The fall work of creosoting egg clusters was started about Sept. 11th and we are still creosoting.
There was very little stripping during the summer. But this fall and winter we are finding a large number of egg clusters.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN D. MORRISON,
Local Moth Supt.

REPORT OF STREET DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury:
During the past year a large amount of work has been done in repairing, widening and building new roads so as to use labor.
This year, many of the stone and asphalt roads need seal coats to put them in shape as the hard frosts have caused them to heave and crack badly.
Moulton Road was built, also 350 ft. on Soule Avenue and about 400 ft. from Knapp Road leading off Bay Road.
On account of the heavy tides washing out the end of streets on Standish Shore we had to build two stone abutments and one wooden pier.
Mattakeesett Court also had to have a lot of work done to put it in shape from the hard storms.
On Franklin Street we have done a lot of work, widening and straightening the road. This being done under the C. W. A. and the highway department furnish- ing material and one-half trucking expense.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD S. O'NEIL,
Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of Duxbury:
At the last Town Meeting the sum of $650.00 was appropriated for the use of this department.
Trimming and cutting down of dead trees on the following streets: Mayflower, Chestnut, Washington, Union, Keene, Temple, Church and Upland Road.
The fall web worm was not quite as bad as last year.
The elm leaf beetle was very bad in town the past summer.
I still recommend that this department should have $1,000.00 to work with, that is, if we want to protect our trees.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN D. MORRISON,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
GENTLEMEN :
At our Annual Town Meeting it was voted to name the Duxbury Town Forest the Frederick B. Knapp Town Forest and the sum of $150.00 was appropriated.
With this appropriation, your committee have had some trees cut out, brush burned along the front of the Forest and a large boulder set in cement bed about the center of the lot facing Mayflower St.
At our Annual Town Meeting a sufficient amount of money will be asked for, to purchase and place a tablet on the boulder; also to grade the lot around the boulder. A dedication will be held on Arbor Day, the last Saturday in April.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TRAIN FIELD PLAYGROUND
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
During this past year, in addition to the usual re- pairs, a new back-stop was built for the ball field. The usual amount of new equipment was also purchased. The grounds have been mowed as often as seemed needed.
If this field is to be used at night as much as it has been the past two years, some provision must soon be made to have the electric power lines brought to some available point on the field. This point should be given serious consideration.
Respectfully submitted, EARL W. CHANDLER
