REPORT OF TRUANT OFFICER.
Berkley, Mass., Jan. 30, 1915.
Mr. M. H. Bowman,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :
Complaints for truancy during the year were made from No. 2, 3, 6, and 7 Schools. In No. 2 School I notified the parents of the truants to send their children to school regularly, but as they continued to keep their children at home I summoned three parents to appear before the court. They were placed on probation for three months.
At No. 3, 6, and 7 Schools I saw the parents and they agreed to send their children regularly.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES COREY,
1
Truant Officer.

Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir :
My report for the past year is as follows :
On my yearly inspection I found the following cases : Head lice, 13
Enlarged tonsils,

Adenoids, 4
In most schools they are much cleaner than formerly, due in a great measure to the teachers keeping after the children about cleanliness.

ANNUAL REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The appropriations as recommended by your board to cover the running expenses of the town were voted at the annual meeting with the understanding that it could be done with a tax rate that would not exceed $15.00 per thousand. The money has been raised and the town's ex- penses paid with a tax of $14.50, but we have had to carry over a note of $2,000, because some of the taxes have not been paid. This may give the impression that the town can not be run on a $15.00 rate, but it can and should be in 1916, if the taxes are collected when due. To illustrate this we would call your attention to these facts: at the end of the year the town owes $2,000; to offset this we have about $700 cash on hand and outstanding taxes of nearly $2,000. It will readily be seen that the town should take some action towards a closer collection of taxes. If we are to close our fiscal year free from debt the taxes must be paid during that year, or else we shall have to establish a higher rate so that the amount paid by those who do pay their taxes in the year that they are assessed will be large enough to meet the current ex- penses. If the latter course is to be followed our rate for this year would have been $18.00 instead of $14.50. This is a matter that should interest every taxpayer.
The town raised $1,500 and the state made an allot- ment of a like sum which was expended to improve the old stage road, so-called. This money was spent under the direction of the Mass. Highway Commission and 6,200 feet of road built; the same has proven to be an exceptionally good job. We shall have an article in the warrant so that another appropriation can be made to continue this work if the town so desires.
The Monumental Association have offered to place in the new library a bronze tablet to the memory of the soldiers . and sailors of the Civil War who served to the
9
ANNUAL REPORT
credit of Berkley or who have lived in the town, and also to finish the basement for a lecture room, they to bear all the expense.
There was an appropriation of $200, made this year to care for the graves of the soldiers and sailors of the Civil and Spanish Wars. It was voted that whatever part of this money was not used for that purpose should be spent to make general improvements in the cemetery. The money was spent under the direction of the trustees of the cemetery with very good judgment; all the soldiers graves that were not being cared for have been put in proper shape and the balance of money has been used in laying out a drive through the grounds from one entrance to the other and clearing out bushes and briers. While they have made great improvements it will take considerable more money to finish this work and make the grounds respectable. This work should be carried on to where the cemetery shall become a credit to the town and then kept so.
As Overseers of the Poor, we have to report that the amount of aid furnished this year has been considerable more than usual, owing to having a very expensive case on our hands. Your board has recovered nearly $600 of the money spent on this case so that our net expenditure will be about $578. We still have this case to take care of.
A law that goes into effect Aug. 13, 1916, will relieve the town of all cases that have been absent from the town five years; this will mean considerable to us for we get rid of a family that has been on our hands a good part of the time since 1886.
There have been but few cases of contagious diseases, with the exception of measles reported during the year.
