REPORT OF THE TAX COLLECTOR
To the Taxpayers of the Town of Braintree:
1 I submit herewith my annual report of collections for the year 1936.
A comparison of the outstanding accounts of December 31, 1936 with those of December 31, 1934 and 1935 note fluctuations in tax delinquencies as follows:

Total
$400,247.30
$335,618.81
$454,480.15
The oustanding balance of $343,081.45 could have been prop- erly reduced by a claim which was allowed by Federal Bankruptcy Court under 77B-F. B. A., but I was informed that a settlement would be made shortly after the first of the year. On January 11, 1937 this claim in the amount of $85,857.96 was paid.
Schedule "A" Comparative Report of Collections on Commit- ments for the years 1932-1936 inclusive discloses that to date over a 5 year period $250,000 of all commitments or levies has been col- lected through the acquiring of a tax lien against the property as- sessed. During this period, through foreclosure, collections and ac- quiring of absolute title to property has reduced this amount to ap- proximately $100,000. This is to be further increased, by tax tak- ings for unpaid 1935 taxes and 1936 subsequent taxes on such takings, to the extent of approximately $55,000.
-
The clerks of my department join me in my sincerest gratitude for your kind co-operation, and I thank you for all past favors and hope for continued pleasant relations.
GEORGE H. GERRIOR, JR. Collector of Taxes.

REPORT OF THE SEWER COMMISSIONERS
We respectfully submit our report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1936.
We regret to announce the resignation of Mr. Albert E. Roberts on July 17. Mr. Walter E. Thompson was appointed to serve Mr. Roberts' unexpired term of office.
Very little new construction work was accomplished this year due to the WPA holding sewer projects for winter weather work.
There were more connections made to the system this year than in either of the previous two years. Many serious hazards to the public health have been eliminated through co-operation with the Board of Health. There still exist, however, numerous objectionable sanitary conditions within the area served by sewers.
