Complaints for truancy during the year were from Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 schools.
On investigation of some of the complaints I found the children away from home picking cranberries. I sent for them and they returned to school. In all the complaints the parents agreed to send them more regularly, therefore I deemed a summons to court unnecessary.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES COREY, Truant Officer.

Annual Report
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Our. valuation was increased last year over $100,000. To one unfamiliar with the facts it would seem as if there was a great deal more taxable property found that had not previously been taxed; this increase however is not the result of finding any great amount more property but is due chiefly to changed opinion as to property values. it places our valuation over $500,000.00; when the valui- ation of a town is more than $500.000.00, it reduces con- siderably their portion of the state school fund.
Our tax rate $11.80 is $7.00 per thousand less this year than it was in 1912 and is accounted for by the increase in valuation and less money being appropriated.
Town officers and schools are the only accounts that ex- ceed their appropriations.
In 1896 the town voted to have the Old Stage road from Taunton line to Freetown line surveyed and to have the State Highway Commission petitioned to accept it as a state highway, the plans and petition were filed with the Commission August 3. 1896. as vet the road has not been accepted by the state. the provisions of Chap. 279 of the Acts of 1908 known as the "Small Town Act" gives the Commission the right to make an allotment of money to improve this road-as our valuation is within the limits of this Act-providing it is petitioned for by the Select- men. We have filed such a petition and to get favorable action on same. it will be necessary for the town to make an appropriation to be expended under the direction of the State Highway Commission for this purpose.
There have been about $10.000.00 expended in the town by the state for highways. all on County street, the work

was completed last December, it has always been a bad road in the spring and quite expensive to take care of.
As Overseers of Poor we have furnished aid to the amount of $947.01. Mostly in the form of partial support. There have been a few cases of medical aid and temporary relief, some of these cases are settled outside of our town. We will be reimbursed for those by the municipalities where they belong.
