SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Middleboro, Mass., January 1, 1932.
To the Board of Selectmen
Middleboro, Mass.
I herewith hand you the report of the Weights and Meas- ures Department for the year 1931.
The State Standards are in excellent condition, being oiled and wiped after being used. The weights owned by the town and used in field work are in great need of being renickeled. It should be done at once in order to save the town a greater expense some time later. The weights used in testing coal scales have been scraped and repainted and are now in good condition. The gasolene test cans have been all equipped with new glass tubes which make a quicker reading possible and all cans are in good condition. Gaso- lene pumps still need constant attention if the riding public is to get correct measurement. In a great many instances the old style hand pumps have been taken out and electric pumps put in to take their place. In cases of this kind the revenue has been cut down four-fifths. While in my opinion the electric pump has come to stay it is a question which is the best.
Butter has to be watched and reweighed continually. Potatoes that come through in burlap sacks are required to be weighed before being sold. Flour also has to be watched and reweighed. There was one prosecution in Court for using condemned scales. The State Inspector complained to the Sealer. Oil jars are now coming through with State seal. All Clinical thermometers have been listed and tabula- tion sent to the State House. The State Department in Boston is all the time requiring more and more from the Sealers, which causes a decided increase in the work of the Department. This detail work requires a lot of extra time.
A general summary of the work follows :- Pieces sealed- 1402, pieces non-sealed-28, pieces adjusted-66, pieces
109
condemned-32. 1608 trial weighings were made, 1580 were correct, 16 under, 12 over. 19 stores were inspected for paper cartons. Inspections made were-20 peddlers' licen- ses, 5 milk dealers' jars, 26 food marking, 5 milk cans, 6 transient vendors' licenses, 3 stores on clinical thermometers, 20 peddlers' scales, 8 ice scales, 2 junk scales, 7 ice cream cans, 152 miscellaneous inspections. 77 pumps were re- tested with 263 stops. Bread weight and labels with mark- ings were also inspected. All complaints were investigated and adjusted. A number of warnings given offenders were all cheerfully complied with the law after being set right.
I wish to thank all who have helped make this year as successful as it has been.
Respectfully submitted, LOUIS C. LITTLEJOHN, Sealer of Weights & Measures.

REPORT OF THE MARIA L. H. PEIRCE LUXURY FUND.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Middleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen :-
The close of another year brings again to our attention that fact that our town is unique in the possession of the Maria L. H. Peirce Luxury Fund inspired only by kindliness and the love of humanity.
We have purchased several medical appliances from this fund and various articles as they were needed.
As usual we had our Christmas Eve party with Santa Claus in person distributing gifts to each resident. Thanks are due to our local merchant, Harry Richmond, for his presents of cigars to the men and candy to the women.
To the delight of our men we had the illuminated Christ- mas tree in the front yard, and, as an innovation, we planted evergreens and shrubbery in front of and along the side of the imfirmary.
We have furnished the tobacco for two-thirds of the year, flowers at holidays, and fruit upon special occasions.
We feel extremely grateful to the manager of the Park Theatre who admits our residents to the pictures free of charge at any time. We have received a letter of commen- dation from the headquarters of the Women's Dept. of the National Civic Federation for this unusual courtesy. We plan to have these theatre parties about every six or eight weeks; thereby making a gala occasion in our usually well- ordered lives.
In closing, I wish to express my appreciation for the opportunity of administering this fund.
Very truly yours,
