The supervision of the PLAYGROUND ACTIVITIES in charge of Frank Crosier was late in getting started. The Athletic House was not ready for use until about July 26th. A schedule of classes in swimming was in vogue morning, afternoon, and evening. Soccer, tennis and baseball were played and continued until the opening of school in Sep- tember. The Federal money expended was $1,189.60. The Town appropriated $400.00 to help on necessary super- vision that did not qualify on the relief rolls, and of this $374.00 was spent. The Red Cross contributed $60.00 for supervision, making a total of $1,623.60.

FULLER STREET was widened and graveled but the work stopped November 23rd and it will be completed under W.P.A. This will give the town a good graveled FARM TO MARKET Road 2.62 miles from Thompson Street to the Hali- fax line. The Federal money expended under E.R.A. was $7,920.70 and the town expense $360.82; total $8,281.52.
WALNUT STREET, a length of 1.2 miles was straightened, widened from 15 to 18 feet, and graveled. The road was almost impassable but now is a good graveled highway from Miller Street to Marion Road connecting Rock Village through Lakeville to Rhode Island Road. The Federal expenditure was $12,345.18 and the town expense $549.79; total $12,894.97.
PURCHASE STREET, (2 miles), CHESTNUT STREET, (1 mile), and THOMAS STREET, (1/2 mile), were graveled. TISPAQUIN STREET, (212 miles), was widened to 18 feet. We blasted 2 ton of rocks, built 3 culverts, graveled and completely rebuilt. Tispaquin Street was very narrow and almost impassable in many places. It is now a good graveled highway from Wareham Street to Plymouth Street. The total Federal expenditure was $20,562.95 and the town expense, $1,362.23. This work started April 1, 1934 and finished May 2, 1935. The 1935 Federal expenditure was $12,118.30 and the town expense $694.08; total, $12,812.38.
SIDEWALKS, total length 9361 feet, were constructed of bituminous vitumuls on the following streets: Cambridge, Arch, Frank, Centre, Lane, Sumner Avenue, Oak, Rice, School, Pearl, Elm, Bourne, Clifford and Benton. The width was 5 feet and the thickness 3 inches, with tree lines from 2 to 6 feet in width. The Federal expenditure was $10,802.55 and the town expense $2,356.50; total $13,159.05.
· MOSQUITO PEST CONTROL PROJECT at Tispaquin Pond consisted of filling in two pot holes used as dumps, digging trenches, thereby draining 1212 acres of swamp land, and removing roots and weeds from the shore of the pond. Camp Avoda now has a good beach for bathing, free from weeds. All breeding places have been drained or filled in to eliminate
240
the mosquitoes. The underbrush in a low area at Camp Yomechas was also cut off. The Federal expenditure was $12,768.00 and the town expense, $220.56; total $12,988.56.
The APPLE ORCHARD PROJECT was very worthwhile and 33 orchards were improved, totaling 6,500 trees. It pro- duced 170 cords of wood, mostly apple, cherry and pine, and the Welfare Department carted it to the Town Infirmary for Welfare recipients. The surrounding area to the orchards was cut and live apple trees that were not worth saving were removed. Removal of the old and disease-harboring trees and shrubs will prevent the spread of gypsy moths, curculio, scale, rust, and so forth. The Federal expenditure was $6,600.00 and the town expense $389.25; total $6,989.25.
The ROADSIDE SPRAYING was done from June 3 to July 12, 1935, in conjunction with the usual town work under G. Ward Stetson. The spraying was done on both sides of 54 streets, a total distance of 95 miles. The Federal expendi- ture was $577.00. The Town furnished 2 sprayers, labor $201.25 and material $329.00; total $1,107.25.
GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTH PROJECT was started October 19, 1934 and finished May 9, 1935. It consisted of destroying the egg clusters by means of creosoting and cutting them out when possible. This was done on both sides of the highway for a total mileage of 120 miles. The work was done in the adjacent woods from 300 to 500 feet, when necessary. The Federal expenditure was $3,692.25 for 1934 and $5,164.10 for 1935. Town expense was $34.65 for 2 barrels of creosote; total $5,198.75 for 1935.
A five-acre town-owned wood lot on MARION ROAD was cut off and produced 168 cords of oak wood for the Welfare Department. The Federal expenditure was $1,265.45. The Welfare Department paid $294.00 for truck hire and $3.50 for a few tools; total $1,562.95.
241
The special SNOW REMOVAL PROJECT started January 25 and ended January 31 and was a great help on clearing the streets for traffic during the unusually heavy snowfall. The Federal expenditure was $865.65 and the town furnished the necessary trucks.
Two men were employed to examine our ELM TREES. They covered about 146 miles on 121 streets and found 1371 elms that needed trimming or diseased branches removed. The diseased samples were sent to Massachusetts State College for examination. Fortunately none of the Dutch Elm Disease was found. The Federal expenditure was $230.40 and no town expense.
The VITAL STATISTICS PROJECT involved the tabulation alphabetically and chronologically of all the records from 1669 to about 1850. The following card records were made and are in a steel file in the Town Clerk's office.
11150 Births 7500 Marriages
4500 Deaths
4000 Marriage intentions
2200 Infant Baptisms ·
1500 Families with records of children 400 Deaths, from church records
Typewritten lists in duplicate were made for use of the printer at such time as money might be available to have them published in book form and placed in various libraries in the country. The Federal expenditure was $2,385.45 and the town expense $234.51; total $2,619.96.
New projects were necessary, entailing added work in their preparation. We secured a project for a PLANNING ENGINEER who started July 1st. He has written 2 E.R.A.
242
projects and 35 W.P.A. projects besides surveying streets, sidewalks and so forth and superintending the work which had to be done according to specifications. The Federal expenditure was $662.40 and the town expense was $14.36; total $676.76.
A TECHNICAL SUPERVISOR PROJECT was started April 24 and had charge of all projects. Efficiency on the job was improved under his management, but the Government de- cided in August that this must be a town expense and it was of necessity discontinued. The Federal expenditure was $460.80 and the town paid $23.56 for transportation expense; total $484.36.
CLASSIFICATION AND ASSIGNMENT PROJECT started June 10 at the Chamber of Commerce. All E.R.A. workers, Welfare and Soldiers' Relief recipients were re-registered and classified for their usual and alternate occupations on Form 144 and 144A. These were later taken to Brockton for use on W.P.A. The Federal expenditure was $494.10 and town expense for steel file, rent, typewriter, telephone and so forth was $174.41; total $668.51.
FEDERAL HOUSING PROJECT consisted of a canvass of property owners in Middleboro, Lakeville, Rochester and Marion, to explain the operation of the National Housing Act. It started in April and extended until December 1st. During the canvass 5,939 calls were made visiting 3,804 owners and 1102 tenants. Total pledges amounted to $308,851.00 and of these $268,206.00 actually started or were completed. The Federal expenditure was $2,849.79 and the town expense $55.05; total $2,904.84.
A CLERICAL ASSISTANT was provided, for the chairman of the Federal Housing Committee, who had charge of giving out pledges to the various contractors. The chairman Mr. L. C. Littlejohn was not paid, and could not give his time
243
to the work during the day. 280 jobs were given to con- tractors to bid on. 526 jobs were given to the contractor designated on the pledge, and 22 jobs were cancelled. Total, 828 pledges. Painters received 50%, carpenters 25%, lumbermen 12%, plumbers 10%, masons 1/2%, roofers 11/2% miscellaneous, 1%. The Federal expenditure was $504.00, with no town expense.
WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION
The WPA took over all work relief about December first. The setup is somewhat different; the local office does not handle payrolls, so exact figures on Federal expense cannot be given. The labor roll has been about 250, and due to transfers to PWA work here and at the Canal, a considerable number are now receiving WPA work who were not eligible under the ERA. The payrolls for December presumably carried about $12,500.00 Federal money. Many of the men now working on projects are not under the con- trol of the Town, such as the State Farm-to-Market roads, State sidewalks, and Lakeville jobs. Neither does the Town contribute materials, trucks etc., on these jobs, except in the case of tools and on Fuller St., where the Town con- tribution is drawn from a State allotment to the Town.
The following projects of the Town were operated during December; Sewing, Lane St., High School Ball Field, and Shade Tree Sanitation. The SEWING PROJECT continued much as before; Town expense $27.12.
LANE STREET was completed except for black top, sod and trees, at a Town expense to date of $79.71. This street was accepted by the Town last spring, and $500.00 was ap- propriated as the minimum amount to make the street usable; by applying the $500 to materials and equipment, and using WPA labor, we will be able to build a first-class residential street instead of the minimum contemplated. About thirty men worked there about a month. It is to be finished up in late spring.
244
The HIGH SCHOOL BALL FIELD grading project started December 12th, using 32 men. Town cost in December was $226.97. A complete new set of tools had to be pro- vided. Frozen ground has hampered this work, but in the snarl at Fall River we have been unable to get authority to start any substitute work.
SHADE TREE SANITATION, a tree-trimming project, occupies eight men. Shade trees on streets and public properties are being carefully conditioned.
In addition to the WPA expenses listed above, the High- way Department has spent $198.02 in repairing trucks and bringing them up to the standards required by the WPA. Also, $260.92 has been charged to the WPA Special Account, to cover items for which the Town did not specifically ap- propriate, such as Shade Tree expenses, State job tools, administrative expenses, etc.
Attention should be called to the fact that in the financial statements in the Town Report, expenses of the Town for ERA work were charged to the appropriate Town Depart- ment where possible. For example, road and sidewalk work appears in Highway accounts. Work not related to any existing Department, and work for. which depart- mental funds were insufficient, is listed under ERA Special or WPA Special.
We start the new year with a large number of projects submitted to the proper authorities, several projects ap- proved but without authorization to begin. If we are un- able to provide adequate work, and carry on desirable pro- jects, it will not be the fault of the local administration.

REPORT OF THE GAS AND ELECTRIC DE- PARTMENT
To the Town Manager, Town of Middleboro.
Dear Sir:
I am submitting the forty-second report of the Gas & Electric Department for the year ending December 31, 1935.
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 Statement of Accounts.
GAS
The only outstanding activity in this department was the extension of the gas main on Jackson St., with the ex- tension from Jackson St. to the bath house at the play grounds.
I would recommend a thorough survey of the gas mains during the coming year with the end in view of determining the gas leaks, in an effort to reduce the unaccounted-for gas, together with relation to plant material, in order to deter- mine for future reference the effects of such leaks, if any, on the trees along the gas mains.
There are now organized companies who do this class of work. This may well be a part of the program of this com- ing year, and because of the many phases connected to and benefits derived by such a survey, I feel that both the monetary returns and improvement of the system, as well as data procured regarding responsibility of the Gas Dept., will be of great value.

ELECTRIC
The increase in current purchased in 1935 was only about 50% of the increase in 1934 over 1933. This is mostly accounted for by the decrease in power consumption as reflected in a decrease of $666 in power sales caused by ec- onomic conditions, but a return to the former requirement as now showing will be of material benefit.
No extensions to the electric distribution system have been made this year.
The extension of a third wire to North Middleboro would improve the service there as well as more nearly balance the system. I would recommend that this be done.
As will be noticed from the data following, the costs of current have been reduced, which has resulted in increased profits per K.W.H. sold.
Especially do we call attention to the Manufacturing Profit, nearly double that of 1934, and nearly three times that of 1935, which would seem to indicate that former prosperity is on the way.
