RECOMMENDATIONS
I have recommended the appointment of four men. One to take the place of Officer August John- son, whom I expect to be pensioned because of injuries sustained in the performance of his duty. One man to do station duty, on wagon and ambulance calls. One man to cover North Braintree in place of Officer Illing- worth, the motorcycle officer, now on a beat. One man to drive new motorcycle asked for in budget.
I have asked for the purchase of a new Harley- Davidson Motorcycle to be used in addition to the present machine. Route 58, now completed and in use, will bring considerably more traffic through the South section of our town, from the Milton line to the Weymouth line. Therefore, I feel that it is most urgent that this thoroughfare be patrolled.
At this time I wish to thank the men of my de- partment for their earnest efforts and good work in the enforcement of Law and Order in this community.
Very truly, JOHN J. HEANEY,
Chief of Police.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSION French's Common
The season of 1930 was one of the most successful in years. Over 4,000 children attended the supervised play program during the season and twice that number witnessed all sports on the Common playing field. This included the Sunset League games. White Sox games during the holidays and Saturdays. Girls' field hockey games, and Grammar school soccer football. Last Sum- mer new loam was placed along the base line making the field much faster to play on.
Shrubbery and floral plants were installed at the entrance from Tremont Street. This makes a very at- tractive entrance to the grove and playing field. Grass has been mowed weekly both on the Tremont Street side and on the playing field. The Grove with its play- ground apparatus attracts a large number evenings. Mothers with smaller children enjoy this very much during the hot season.
Both the Hollingsworth Park and the Washington, Pond Street plot were cared for once last season.
Hollis Field
The past summer the grounds have been mowed and cleaned every week. The new combination tennis court and skating pond was completed in November by the Massachusetts Amiesite Co., under the super- vision of Mr. Austerberry and the Town Engineer, and Chief Tenney. His men flooded the pond and kept it in good condition for skating.
323
The Mother's Club of the Hollis School contributed two hundred dollars ($200.00) toward building this pond.
Two wire system was installed on the grounds this season. New seats, extension to the back-stop, new posts to protect the ball field and other improvements were made.
The summer school was largely attended.
The Board of Health have filled in a large area this past year.

ASSESSORS' REPORT
In the year 1628 Massachusetts raised as its first tax forty dollars. In the year 1930 the amount raised by taxation throughout Massachusetts for city, town, county, district and state activities exceeded $365,000,- 000. or a million per day; the first tax was a "volun- tary tax" and the present day tax is voluntary also, for the obligation is laid by vote of town meeting or other body politic, and the assessors cut the garment according to the cloth furnished. Of the total expendi- tures Education leads taking 27.55% of the total; Interest and debt 16.86%, Highways 12.38%, Fire & Police 10.79% etc. Of the source of the amount raised, Real Estate constitutes 49.38%, tangible per- sonal property only 6.58%, income tax 7.83% and so on.
The tax commissioner says, "there is no more difficult task imposed upon assessors than the obliga- tion requiring them to assess household furnishings; with regard to the taxation of the contents of house- holds, and of jewelry, there is no measure of equity in the existing practices and results speak for them- selves, presenting an indictment of the present lack of system, while in the meantime real estate is the sufferer." There is a growing custom in many com- munities to assess personal property on a basis of say 20% of the assessed value of the dwelling which contains it. Many states are now making serious study of the relative burdens borne by real and personal property, and as we have reported each recent year, your Board is desirous of adjusting this inequitable condition, but admit that it must be done on a large scale and as nearly as possible simultaneously through-
326
out town when it is done at all, and that it can never be done properly except with the support and co- operation of every citizen by yearly declaration as required by existing law.
The valuation of the town was set at a new high of $24,838,925 and the number of polls reached 4522.
The new auto-excise law worked better than the 1928 law; to the mutual advantage of owner and muni- cipality, the public understanding better what co- operation is required from individual owners, the $2.00 minimum making a lesser number of small abatements, while the owner has six months instead of sixty days in which to apply for adjustment.
The benefit of the plans of the town, which are now nearing completion, is great for our offices and also for other departments, as expected. An extra complete set of prints has been made for the engineer- ing department, and either set is available for the purpose of examination and information to any citizen. There remains an area consisting of the northerly half- mile of the town, which was not included in the Branch contract and it is quite necessary that means be found soon to have this area mapped to conform with the part already done and the completed maps brought down to date. We have expected that the new engi- neering department could attend to this, but time has not seemed available to them so far in their existence. If no other way is found, we recommend that the work be done forthwith by Mr. Branch who already has a great amount of data ready for use.
