REPORT OF THE HEALTH OFFICER
Middleboro, Mass. December 31, 1932.
Board of Health,
Gentlemen :-----
I herewith present my report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1932.
Up until the first of October, we were going along with the usual number of Contagious Diseases; then, we had a small epidemic of Mumps. Until the end of December we had 56 cases reported and 14 cases early in the year. They run in cycles of about five years in 1927 ;- 96 cases were reported.
I would like at this time to call the attention of the par- ents to report to the Department of Health even if they don't have a doctor and not let children return to school after a sickness of a few days as it is hard for Miss Pasztor or my- self to check on them not knowing they have been sick. We could prevent a great many contacts; please keep this in mind.
There are four patients in Plymouth County Hospital at present; four patients died during the year; two dis- charged against advice.
Jan. 1 we had 8 patients; in Feb .- 9, March-8, April-8, May-7, June-7, July-7, August-7, Sept .- 7, Oct., Nov., Dec .- 4.

RUBBISH-GARBAGE
Both of these are being taken care of in a very efficient manner with very few complaints. There has been a great many calls for the further extension of this service but noth- ing can be done about it at present. The people who want this done should remember it at the Town Meeting when the budget is presented; it has run short this year.
PUBLIC DUMP
Mr. A. A. Sisson still continues to do good work there, and I wish the people who are dumping along the sides of the roads and outskirts of the Town would help us in this matter and bring it to the dump as there are many unsightly places along the roads, and I have been unable to do anything about it. I have put up signs, and they have been torn

down. They must do this at night as I have been around at all hours and have yet to see anyone doing it.
STORES-WAYSIDE STANDS
I have made a number of inspections of both and find every one doing a very good job. I also inspected the yards around the stores and they are in a very much improved condition.

There were 431 who attended the clinic in April for Toxin Anti Toxin.
SCHICK TEST
This was held November 4, 7, and 11 in Town Hall and 372 returned for it.

Some 800 children are free from this dreaded disease. I hope the parents will remember the clinic to be held April, 1933 and bring in the pre-school children.

REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
January 23, 1933.
To the President and Board of Trustees,
Middleborough Public Library:
I have the honor and pleasure to present the annual re- port for the year ending December 31, 1932.
The past year has been the busiest one in the history of the library. Never has the circulation of books reached so high a figure, and the increase in all lines of library work indicates how much the library means to the public and to what an extent it is being used in these times of stress.
It is to be regretted that at the very time when the library is performing a greater and more needed service than ever before, the resources and staff of the library are so reduced as to make it exceedingly difficult to meet these increased demands.
It being apparent that retrenchment would be necessary the coming year, the Executive Committee and the Librarian were delegated to consider how best to economize. This committee decided not to fill the place made vacant by the res- ignation of the Assistant Librarian, Miss Florence A. Robin- son, and to close the library mornings and at eight at night, instead of nine o'clock.
Closing in the morning gives the staff time to do the routine work. Those not in close contact with libraries little realize how much necessary work of this kind there is to be done to keep a library running smoothly and efficiently. With one less on the staff, it means the duties of each one are increased, but with the routine work done in the morning while the library is closed, the staff is then free to devote their attention to circulation and reference work during-
164
the afternoon and evening. Closing the library at eight o'clock at night saves heat and light. These drastic meas- ures have been taken to make it possible to keep expendi- tures within the reduced budget.
CIRCULATION
The gain in circulation shows vividly to what an extent people are using their new found leisure for reading. The past year the circulation reached the record figure of 103,162 volumes. This is a gain of 11,152 over last year.
DUPLICATE PAY COLLECTION
The duplicate pay, or rental collection still proves popu- lar. In the past year the circulation of rental books was 2,216 volumes. The two-cent-a-day fines amounted to $145.59, and with this money we have added eighty new books to the rental collection. Seventy-nine books have been transferred from the rental collection to the regular circulating department.
DEPOSITS OF BOOKS
A new branch library has been established in East Mid- dleboro. There was a branch in that part of the town for many years, under the care of Miss Laura Deane, but since she found it necessary to discontinue the work, there has been none, and it has been very much missed. Mrs. Thomas Pollitt has kindly consented to take charge of a branch of the library in her home. The collection has been started with two hundred books, which will be changed and added to as found necessary.
A collection of books is kept at the Montgomery Home for the use of the residents there.
There are deposits of books at the following schools, -- South Middleboro, Purchade, Green, Thompson Street,
165
Waterville, West Side, Bates School and School Street School.
ACTIVITIES
The library had a most interesting exhibit during Book Week, November 16th to the 23rd. The National Committee on Small Soap Sculpture, of Chicago, sent us nearly one hundred pieces of sculpture made of Ivory Soap. These were arranged on shelves covered with black crepe paper, and made a most effective exhibit. Much interest was shown by both young and old, and some of the younger visitors were inspired to do some Ivory Soap carving them- selves, with excellent results.
Also on display were many new books in all fields of literature, with special emphasis on books suitable for Christ- mas gifts for children.
The Community Room in the library has been used as a meeting place for the Literature Department of the Cabot Club, the Art Department of the Cabot Club, the District Nurse Association, University Extension classes and the Red Cross.
The pupils of the Junior High School have been to the library for their course of five lessons in the use of the library, and a course of six lessons has been given to the student help in the High School library.
The sixth and seventh grade pupils have been brought to the library on a tour of inspection and to become ac- quainted with the library and its work, many of the pupils making their first acquaintance with the library on these visits.
During the summer an inventory was taken of the books in the adult department. This showed many books missing, some of which have been accounted for, but many which have not. It also gave an opportunity to weed out books that have been on the shelves for many years without ever having been used. These were taken out to make room for books in active circulation.
166
Book talks have been given by the Librarian before the State Teachers College at Bridgewater, the Pomona Grange, the Cabot Club, Bates School, White Church Guild and the Ten Times One Club.
THE STAFF
The staff made a voluntary contribution of 5% of their wages toward the Welfare Fund of the town. Despite this and the prospect of other cuts to come, their loyalty and the efficiency of their work has not been lessened in a single degree. Although the strength and nerves of librarians are being taxed to the utmost to meet the increased demands made upon them, they are meeting this emergency with cheerfulness and a willingness to serve the public faithfully and well.
.. . It is with regret that the resignation of Miss Florence A. Robinson was received and accepted. Miss Robinson has been with the library over thirty-five years, joining the staff when the library was in the Town Hall, and continuing her services through the thirty years the library has been in the present building.
Members of the staff have profited by attending library meetings and institutes in Boston, Brockton, Norton, Wey- mouth and Plymouth.
Miss Edith G. Veazie took a six weeks summer course at Simmons College, specializing in cataloging and library work with children.
IN APPRECIATION
The library sincerely thanks all those friends who have helped the library in so many ways,-gifts of books, flowers and magazines. The library received gifts of eighty-four books, many single magazines and subscriptions to many more. All these helped the library and have been greatly enjoyed by our borrowers.
167
The work of the staff is to be commended, and I wish to express my appreciation for the assistance they have render- ed the past year.
I wish to thank the Trustees for their ever loyal support in the working out of library policies and problems.
Respectfully submitted,
MERTIE E. WITBECK,
Librarian.

Once more I feel it my duty to call attention to the fact that the time is fast approaching when some of the present apparatus will have to be replaced. The Knox combination wagon now 21 years old is the principal source of worry for not only is it a problem to keep it in condition to respond to alarms, but the additional fear of what fatal results might occur should some of the weakened parts give way while on the road.
As mentioned in my previous reports, it is impossible to get renewal parts for this piece of apparatus, and so many of the vital parts are in such condition that it is only by extreme care in going to or from an alarm that the safety of the men or public may be assured.
The Hose 2 wagon cannot be relied upon to serve even for forest fire service which is its main duty, and traveled nearly 300 miles in that class of service. So whereas the Town may be under the impression it has 5 first-class pieces in the department, such is not the case. Full consideration should be given by the Town to the future inevitable problem of replacing apparatus, the efficiency of which has been im- paired.
Having in mind the unfortunate experience of other departments with defected ladders, and to avoid like results here, particular attention and more critical examination have been given to the ladders on the Ladder truck, and to insure the greatest safety possible, the lower part of the large extension ladder was renewed and recently the upper part.
The upper half of the small extension ladder was also replaced and side poles added for additional strength and safety while in use. Would recommend that the adopting a 5 year program of replacing all ladders now over 10 years old, and inasmuch as those most expensive have been re- placed this year, it would not be a burden and would assure the maximum of safety.
The two pumpers and Ladder truck are in good operating
175
condition, but the ladder truck is still very much in need of new paint and varnish.
Engine 2 should receive a coat of varnish this year to preserve the paint and the present good appearance of this piece.
All appliances, such as nozzles, gates,-extinguishers, etc. are in first-class condition.
There has been a decrease in work in some cases and increase in others.
The mileage is less, the total alarms have been less, but the still alarms for chimney fires have increased.
The systematic and periodic inspection in the business section has continued with 204 more inspections than last year or a total of 2171. Too much importance cannot be attached to this class of service for the 33 special fire hazards discovered (exclusive of junk yards) and corrected possibly resulted in a saving of unknown value to owners and Town.
Two obsolete fire alarm boxes have been replaced and an additional one purchased to be located at corner of So. Main and Courtland Streets. Up to this time, this has been the greatest area of any part of the town not covered with a fire alarm box, as there has not been any box on So. Main Street from Grove to Rock Streets.
Additional boxes could be installed to good advantage as there are still areas not provided with boxes that should be; but to my mind, it is equally, if not more, important to replace the remaining obsolete and in a great measure un- reliable boxes now in use. Balance of Fire Alarm System is in good condition.
The greatest fire losses occurred in the outside districts, which reminds us that in a former report of Ex-Chief Maxim, he recommended the placing of a small piece of apparatus at each of two outside districts of the Town and later, in the recommendations of New England Exchange that this be done and companies organized in those districts.
The fire losses in 1932 on buildings located in the old Fire District amounted to $1661.97 (all covered by insurance)
176
and the assessed value of these buildings was $17,820.00, which means the department saved over 90% of assessed value involved.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WELFARE AND OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
To the people of Middleborough.
When we made our report in 1931, we hoped that in 1932 conditions would improve, but we are sorry to say that the unemployed condition today is the worst that it has been since the depression started. Ordinarily there are very few unemployed during the summer months. Last summer, very few of the families we were helping, were able to get work, and new ones came to us every week. The unem- ployment work provided by the gas extensions provided 60 men with work, and the Soldiers Relief and Welfare De- partments were relieved to the extent of the earnings of these men.
The closing of the Leonard Shaw and Dean factory was quickly felt, and about a dozen families who had just been getting along were forced to apply for aid. At the present time the prospect of reopening this factory, and the work on the Taunton State road will give some relief. We believe that there should also be some construction work provided by the town, to help many who will be unable to secure work on other jobs. This work should be confined to persons having settlement in Middleboro.
Under the classification of Outside Aid the expenses were $33,268. This covers three items.
First. Ordinary welfare work, which so far as we can judge has not materially increased during the past few years.
Second. People living here but having settlements in other places. These cases are treated exactly like our other cases, but the money spent on this account is paid back by the place of settlement. Last year we received over $7000. on account of such cases.
Third. The unemployed with Middleboro settlement. This class is the real cause of the increase in cost of the Wel-
181
fare Department. Expense due to this class was about $10,000. more in 1932 than in 1931. This increase would have been much larger without the work provided on the gas extensions.
The unprecedented business depression is entirely re- sponsible for this class, of applicants. These people are not in any sense, in the mendicant or pauper class. Con- trary to widespread belief, they are in the great majority of cases, industrious and self respecting men and women. They have gone from full time to half time, to a day here and there, to no job at all, to a gradual using up of savings, to debt, to a loss of credit, then to us.
