CLASS ODE Tune: Maryland My Maryland
We bid to thee a fond farewell To our school, old M. H. S. We place our foot beyond the sill Of the gateway to success, As graduates we head the line, To leave our mark on sands of time. March On! March On! And lead the band With honor bright, throughout the land!
51
As blossoms from a bud will bloom, So our future lives unfold. As mighty oaks from acorns grow, So our minds will knowledge mold. Our seeded thoughts in fertile soil Will harvest yield with effort's toil. We bid to thee a fond adieu; M. H. S. we part from you.

Farewell, dear classmates, Though our junior days are o'er, Still we'll remember Our kind friends evermore.
II
Farewell, dear classmates, As we leave school work this hour, Still we must study.
For "Knowledge is Power."
Should we travel far away,
We'll remember our school days,
And no matter where we roam Pratt Free will be our home.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit the Twenty-fifth annual report and de- tailed statement of the duties performed by the Police De- partment of the Town of Middleborough, for the fiscal year ending December 31st., 1933.
I recommend that new quarters be provided for the de- partment, as the present quarters are not suitable to do efficient work.
I recommend that an ambulance and police patrol, will be of great service to the department. In the past year we have had several calls for an ambulance, where injured people had to lay on the highway as we could not get suitable transportation to take them to the hospital.
Also a cruiser car equipped with a radio, would be a great help to the department, as already several cars in other towns and cities have these radios, and are hooked up with the State Police Broadcast.

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 two fatal accidents in the past twelve months. We have had fewer accidents and injuries to person than we have had in previous years.
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 De- partment, who have helped to make the administration of this department a success.
Respectfully submitted,
ALDEN C. SISSON,
Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
To the Selectmen and the Town of Middleborough :-
Prior to the 1933 Annual Meeting, the Planning Board conducted a campaign for the adoption of an interim zoning ordinance or by-law. This measure was lost by a voice vote. Since that time, some of the most active opponents have expressed a desire for zoning. However, we do not plan to resubmit the by-law at this time.
During the year, the Planning Board has furnished in- formal comment and advice on such matters as the financial ballot, and in-town filling stations. In the absence of a suitable appropriation for actual Planning work, that seems to be about the scope of the Board.
It has been said that the Town would have received a larger portion of CWA funds but for unavoidable planning delays. True or not, this shows the possible value of ad- vance planning. The Town cannot have the advantages of advance planning without voting funds for it. The Plan- ning Board has had funds to plan one project only, a parking space. This does not happen to lend itself well to CWA use, and we have more urgent uses for PWA funds. Had we had funds for planning twenty projects instead of one, some would have been suitable for this Federal relief money.
Respectfully submitted,
RUSSELL A. TRUFANT ENID SINCLAIR CROSIER EVERETT M. WILLIS JANE V. PHINNEY JESSE CARPENTER, JR.

WATER DEPARTMENT
There has been little other than the general maintenance work that has occurred in this department this year.
There have been no extensions or hydrants and valves added to the system except thru the C. W. A. extension on Wareham St. from the main line to the standpipe, to Cherry St.
We have had only a small maintenance force this year who have been kept busy testing hydrants, main gates and curb stops, and repairing such leaks as occurred. Those which were found broken or out of repair were either re- placed or repaired so that we entered the winter with every- thing in good working condition.
We have continued the practice established several years ago of testing all meters that have been in service for five years, and discarded those which are beyond economical repair. By this annual inspection we have gradually weeded out the old inaccurate meters so that we have nearly reached the point where it will not be necessary to remove all the meters that have been in service five years, but only one here and there of the various makes, as this will give us a reasonably good knowledge of how accurate all the meters are.
We have found that this annual inspection is a profitable investment, as thru this method we have increased materially the income of the department.
As we read all meters quarterly, the information obtained by these readings also keep us in touch with the results obtained by the meters.
C. W. A. WAREHAM STREET EXTENSION
On Nov. 27, 1933 our project for extending water mains on Wareham St. from the force main to the standpipe, to Cherry St., and on Cherry St. easterly and westerly, was approved.
67
This project consisted of paralleling the present six in. main on Wareham St. which extended from the force main to a point near Wood St. with an eight inch line, and from' this point increasing to a ten inch line to just beyond Cherry St.
From Wareham St. westerly on Cherry St. an eight inch line is to be extended about 1000 ft. to Leland's green houses, and on Cherry St. easterly of Wareham St. a six inch line is to extend about eight hundred feet to accommodate a group of houses on that street.
To do this work the Federal Government allotted $8879.00 to cover the labor costs and $4699.00 for material. The Town's share for the remaining material, supervision and incidentals is $5110.00. Of this last amount the Peirce Trustees agreed to furnish $2500.00, the remaining portion is to be taken from the Welfare and Water Departments.
Work started Dec. 2nd and progressed rapidly until the latter part of the month when we had some very unusually cold weather on Dec. 29th and 30th; the thermometer reach- ing 20° below zero. This of course caused a lot of frost to enter the ground and from then on the work was slowed up. However, we hope to be able to finish the work within the allotted time, which ends Feb. 15, 1934.
Respectfully submitted,
H. J. GOODALE,
Town Manager & Supt. of Water Dept.
