REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
The work this year, as in past years, has been wholly in removing dead trees and cutting out the dead limbs in others. While we have not taken down all the dead ones, we have selected those considered most dangerous, as our appropria- tion is not large enough to do all the work that proper regard for public safety would seem to indicate was necessary.
All this work has been done by the men in the Moth Department and the cost charged to the Tree Warden ac- count. All the money charged to this account has been for labor and supplies, as the Tree Warden receives no compensa- tion for the time he puts in on this work.
Respectfully submitted
H. J. GOODALE,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF GAS AND ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
To the Town Manager,
Town of Middleboro.
Dear Sir:
I am submitting the thirty-eighth annual report of the Gas and Electric Department for the year ending December 30, 1931.
This report includes operation accounts, revenues, Bal- ance Sheet, Profit and Loss Sheet, in the same form as in the report to the Public Utilities, together with a statement of accounts.
GAS
Because of a new contract under more favorable condi- tions to the Town, an appreciable saving has been made as shown by the manufacturing account, thereby increasing our balance to profit and loss, so that we this year show a manufacturing profit of $5,173.03. Owing to the loss of two of the house heating customers and the mild weather this past fall, the amount of gas purchased was 863 M ft. less than 1930.
The number of new services laid was small, namely 17, as no extensions of mains were made except the small one on E. Grove St. to Finn's Grill.
Obtaining our supply of gas from Taunton under high pressure continues to be economical and very satisfactory service rendered as only one interruption of supply for a very short period occurred and of which we were notified.
