COMMENT
The good faith of the great majority of the taxpayers of Berkley is evidenced by the collection of over $15,000 of 1950 real estate taxes in the interval between the date they were sent, December 11, and the end of the year, which period includes the Christmas season; and this despite the tremendous increase in the amounts of the tax bills. And this figure includes very few Myricks taxes, as the visit to that locality for collec- tion was not made until after the close of the year. To all these good people may I take this means of expressing my apprecia- tion in behalf of the town.
However, the amounts of outstanding taxes continue to grow, and I find it has become necessary to enforce more strictly the payment of these old amounts. During the coming year all levies through 1949 will be closed out, and I intend to take all possible steps to accomplish this end. This notice should be sufficient to all owing old taxes to see that they are paid before stern measures are taken. Some of these proposed enforced collections are already in progress; the costs of all these steps are paid by the persons affected.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS F. G. ANDREWS,
Collector of Taxes.

We have assisted Mr. Tinkham of the Registry on Periodic Inspection checkups. We patroled the Town on the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Halloween, and New Year's. During Dog Racing period, Police Officers directed traffic at various inter- sections for a period of 100 days.
The Berkley Police Association has purchased red reflect- ing signals to be placed at various intersections.
We have increased our equipment by purchasing reflector- ized traffic belts, tear gas shells, police axe, target pistol, and additional lanterns and flares.
I have taken great pleasure in serving you as Chief of Police and I hope that I have been worthy of my appointment. I thank you and the Police Officers for your excellent co- operation in carrying out the work of the department.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD G. ASHLEY,
Chief of Police.
