The small amounts due on Real Estate Tax Levies of 1930, 1931, 1932 and 1933 are explained by the finding of an illegal tax title, making it necessary to re-open these accounts long enough to hold a new tax sale. The tax sale has been completed and the accounts are now clear again.

REPORT OF THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY RELIEF ADMINISTRATION


From January 1, 1935 to October 1, 1935


The total amount received for labor alone from the Federal Government during 1935 was $132,462.20. The average per month for 1935 was $12,042.00, while the aver- age for 1934 was $11,414.00.


E.R.A. activities started April 1, 1934 and ended Dec- ember 1, 1935. The work then changed to W.P.A., and the local administrative work had to be assumed by the town.


An average number of 220 men and 35 women have re- ceived employment during the year and these were trans- ferred to W.P.A. about December 1st.


The money received from the Government has helped business in town and saved the Welfare Department be- tween $90,000 and $100,000 in supporting families that would have had no employment.


The SEWING PROJECT at the library has operated under very crowded conditions and 30 to 35 women have worked there. It is a very busy little workshop and articles made are shipped to Brockton headquarters each week Articles such as girls' dresses, women's garments, boys' blouses and two-piece suits, men's shirts and khaki pants, pillow-cases, sheets and many other commodities have been made. These as well as garments made by other towns, are distributed among the needy upon request. During the E.R.A., work beginning April 1, 1934, there have been made 15,565 articles. The Federal money expended during 1935 was $15,523.10 and the town expense was $156.90; total $15,680.00.


The E.R.A. authorities wished the PLAYGROUND PRO- JECT kept separate and each one had a special allotment. Most of the money on the original Playground Project was spent during 1934, only $1,538.82 of Federal money having been used in 1935.


238


PARK AREA PROJECT consisted of filling in the swamp below the pool, then the muck was put on the gravel, loamed and seeded. It made a level Play Area and now is used for soccer. The Federal money expended was $13,736.58 and the Peirce Estate expense, $2,375.51; total $16,112.09.


PLAYGROUND GRADING PROJECT finished the work around the pool. The wire fence was installed, also cement steps and retaining wall with fence and pipe rail. Cement curb and gutters were made. The Federal money expended was $12,593.79 and the Peirce Estate expense was $3,833.03; total $16,426.82.


The ATHLETIC HOUSE has on the upper floor, shower, toilet and dressing room for women on one side and the same for men on the other. Downstairs has boxes for bathers' clothes, showers, gas heater and general assembly room. This project included the 8 bath-houses, each containing 4 sections, or 32 rooms for use of the bathers when using the swimming pool. The Federal money expended was $6,966.96 and the Peirce Estate expenses $5,500.72; total $12,467.68.


The gas for heating the water in the Athletic House was piped in from Jackson Street at a Federal labor cost of $717.45 and town cost of $249.73; total, $967.18.


The total cost for the PLAYGROUND, ATHLETIC HOUSE, . SWIMMING POOL and everything connected with them was $101,345.43. Of this, $70,610.10 was received from Federal funds and $30,735.33 from the Peirce Trustees.
