Tho many years shall pass, our school so true, Thy memory will last, for we love you. A memory so fair we all may share, A reverie of days spent in thy care. We'll keep thee in our hearts forever more, We'll sing thy praises to you o'er and o'er, We'll tell of all the joys with which you bless, That others too may share your happiness. Our high school days are done, fair M. H. S. Another task begun, our M. H. S.
And now to thee our school, we say adieu; We know that other friends will stay with you.

Class of nineteen thirty of the old Bates School We've tried to be obedient to your every rule Teachers who have guided us to meet our fate Let us all give thanks to them and dear old "Bates."
Friends, and chums and pals we've been throughout the years Just the thought of parting seems to bring the tears. In the years to come when everything goes wrong Let us all recall the words of our School Song.

We are marching onward, ever, ever, onward Now we're facing M. H. S. We have worked together in fair and stormy weather May our friendships ne'er grow less.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit the Twenty-second annual report and detailed statement of the duties performed by the Police Dept., of the Town of Middleborough, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1930.
The past year has been an unusually busy one. There being a large increase of automobiles due to the celebration of the Tercentenary, there being a lot of out of state cars going through the town, touring the Cape.
I recommend that the department be equipped with a 'Portalite' as the department has no search light to be used at night for an investigation. This light would be a great help to the department.
I recommend that two horns be installed over the signal boxes that are located at the center and at Everett Square. To be used in case of calls during the day, as at the present time the lights cannot be seen during the day.

CONCLUSION
I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for the assistance that the operators of motor vehicles of the Town of Middleboro have given me in the past year. We have had five fatal accidents in the past twelve months, these acci- dents were due to careless operation of the out of town oper- ators. In all cases the parties involved were brought before the Fourth District Court, and were all convicted of operat- ing so as to endanger. We have had fewer accidents and injuries to person than we have had in previous years.
The Game-well system Police boxes have been installed, and have proved satisfactory and have been a great help to the department.
I wish to thank the Superintendent of Schools for the system he has installed into the schools for the education of the children in regards to traffic.
I wish to thank the operators of the local telephone ex- change for the good service given the department, which has been a great assistance in our work.
I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for the assistance and cooperation given me by the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the Fourth District Court, the people of the Town of Middleborough, and the officers of the Department, who have helped to make the administration of this de- partment a success.
Respectfully submitted,
ALDEN C. SISSON,
Chief of Police.

81 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
To the Selectmen and the Town of Middleborough :-
We beg to submit the following first annual report of the Planning Board.
The Board has been quite completely reorganized during the past year beginning with the appointment of Jesse Car- penter Jr., Enid S. Crosier, and Kenneth B. Keedwell to fill · vacancies on the Board. Since then we have proceeded to develop Parking Space plans, and have looked into numerous other matters such as street layouts, housing, etc. In view of present conditions, however, our recommendations for immediate action be confined to the parking space as a relief measure, the replacement of shade trees as a low-cost employment and improvement project, and the first step toward a park-and-playground development.
In our parking space study, we have had maps prepared of the obviously suitable sites, and have developed plans for a variety of developments in each case. We have discussed the matter with many interested parties and are now sound- ing out local opinion in order to fix upon one definite project for presentation at Town Meeting. Granted a reasonable amount of cooperation, we can assure the Town of ample parking facilities at moderate cost. This study has taken most of our time and appropriation, and innumerable meet- ings and consultations. The bare maps secured by us should be worth more to the Town for Assessors and similar pur- poses than our entire appropriation.
The local parking problem is certainly acute. The mer- chants can sell to no more motor traffic than can find con- venient parking, even if several thousand cars an hour are fed past the stores. A moving car means people going else- where to trade. People from outlying towns will not trade here unless given good facilities-better facilities than in the competing centers.
82
The value of the time saved residents of the outlying parts of Middleborough alone in doing necessary business here would justify the cost of a suitable parking space.
The adoption of our plans will mean from four to ten times as many cars can be parked per store fronting on the space than at present, Our main regret is that all the stores in town cannot be provided for as cheaply, Since trade habits are slow to change, we earnestly urge immediate action toward providing this parking space,
We also recommend the planting of highway shade trees to replace those dead, dying or removed, and to improve streets now shadeless. We are accustomed to hearing that the beauty of the Cape lies in its elm-arched streets, yet we remove elms year after year without replacements. We find that "a mile of elms" (one side only) can be set for about $550.00 and we suggest that such an expenditure be made yearly until all requirements are filled. This price is based on a variety of elm immune from the elm beetle.
PURPOSES OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The Planning board is given a broad field of study under the law, but no authority to execute changes it may recom- mend. The field of studies is the resources, possibilities and needs of the community. The only powers of the Board is in its influence on public opinion. In the parking space study you see an example of such work. Other studies usually followed are street improvements and layouts, traffic regulation, building lines and laws, zoning, school plant lay- out, parks and playgrounds, comfort stations, drainage and refuse disposal, water supply, billboards and nuisances, and map studies of population, assessments, expenditures, etc.
The theory is that the Board should have at its disposal a small appropriation, and with this money prepare maps on the items to be studied, as in the parking space study. Five Board members secluded in the Town Hall immersed in
83
deep study are valueless without plans and maps on which to study, and can accomplish little, as we have seen in past years of no appropriation. With a modest appropriation, the Board may prepare projects for future action of the Town, and the Town will have a definite basis for action. It is thus seen that the Planning Board may supplant many of the occasional committees appointed at Town Meeting to study specific subjects.
The activities we have in mind for the coming year relate to zoning, school plant layout, and parks and playgrounds. All we can do with zoning will be in starting an educational campaign. The school plant study will look toward the elimination of the Union Street School, and other features which may seem objectionable. The park and playground situation is dependent on action by the Town on articles in the Warrant at our request. Incidentally, the bestowal of some modest powers upon the Board would make it a much easier post to fill.
Zoning is perhaps the subject nearest to the basic purpose of Town Planning. Residential property values are based on confidence-confidence that the neighbors will not impair those values by starting a store, garage, miniature golf course, overnight camp, factory, etc. Judging by recent develop- ments, many residents have had their confidence in their neighbors rudely shattered. The object of zoning is to regulate such developments as to location, and thereby pre- serve property values. When this is brought home to the voters, there will be a demand for zoning. We may want a new shoe factory, but not necessarily on South Main Street. Nothing could stop the erection of a factory there at present. With a zoning law on the Town books, however, the courts could prevent it. Similarly with other "intrusions". Zon- ing is to "keep the pig out of the parlor."
To sum up, the duties of the Planning Board are the pre- servation and enhancement of property values in the Town by finding ways to make Middleborough a better place in
84
which to live and trade. We draw no compensation and have no rights other than that of trying to influence the Town to help itself.

WATER DEPARTMENT
The construction of the State Highway through East and West Grove Streets caused a lot of work for this depart- ment. As this road was to be constructed with a so-called permanent surface, it was necessary to place our water pipes in as good a condition as possible. To do this we extended the 6" main on West Grove St. a distance of 708 feet, to accommodate all the houses on that street, renewed all the old service pipes, examined and repaired where necessary all the main gates, moved the curb gates into the new curb line, moved the hydrants back so as to be out of danger, installed gates on all hydrant connections where there were none, installed one new hydrant on East Grove St. between So. Main St. and Cliff St., and put in two new hydrants on the extension on West Grove St.
The change of grade on the hill on East Grove St. beyond the Pumping Station was such that the 12" main leading from the Pumping Station to the standpipe had to be lowered for a distance of about 800 feet, with a maximum drop of 6 ft. We were enabled to drop the pipe without making a cut and with the pressure still on. This of course shortened the distance and made a very crooked line of pipe, and caused the joints to leak a little, but when the pipe was in its new posi- tion, we were enabled by recalking the joints, to make the line perfectly tight.
The construction of this new State highway on East Grove St. necessitated the building of a new bridge over the Nemasket River. The construction of this bridge enabled us to correct a condition that has been a source of worry to the department for a long time, and that is the abolishing of the force main leading to the center of the town that passes under the river. As long as the main laid in that position, there were always possibilities that it would break, or that it would spring a leak and run for a long time without being detected. In either case, it would be expensive to repair. In consulting with the State Highway Engineers, they
86
agreed to provide a space so that we could lay a new pipe through the bridge and connect it with the main leading to the standpipe. This was done, and the pipe under the river was disconnected at the Y in East Grove St., and by closing the gate near the Pumping Station, the old line under the river became dead. Now all the water that is pumped, goes through one main to a point near the street where it divides, part coming direct to town and the rest goes direct to the standpipe. Any leak that occurs now will readily, be dis- covered.
We have continued the policy inaugurated a few years ago of removing all meters that have been in use over five years, testing, cleaning and repairing if necessary, and then putting them back in service. This work is done by the regular force during spare time, and really costs but little, and makes us reasonably sure that the department is getting the maximum amount of revenue.
One new sprinkler service, six inches, has been laid this year to the Middleboro Laundry. A T was left in the line so that the Fuller Garage can install a sprinkler system at some future time. This fire service also serves the Laundry as a domestic supply.
Eight new small 1" services have been laid this year.
All main gates have been inspected and repairs made where necessary.
All hydrants have been inspected twice and put in good operating condition.
In general, the system is in good condition, but there is much need of replacing the four inch mains with large pipe, and the connecting of dead ends. These will be taken care of as soon as the money is available.
Respectfully submitted,
H. J. GOODALE,
Town Manager and Superintendent.
