Conclusion
The police cruising car has covered 18,632 miles during the past year. All places of business not covered by the foot patrol, within a two mile radius of the town, are covered each night by the cruising car.
The ambulance has covered 370 miles in the past year, having 35 calls for accidents, total mileage 299 miles. 11 calls for patrol, total mileage 71.
Persons taken to hospital in ambulance 44.
We have had only one bad accident during the year, which resulted in the death of one person. This accident occurred on a straight stretch of good macadam road.
This Department is now equipped with a complete two-way radio system in the police station and cruiser car. The ambulance has a receiving set only. The police station is also equipped with a receiving set which is linked to the Massachusetts State Police system. This set enables us to keep posted on cars that may have been stolen in this dictrict, escaped prisoners, and holdups. During the short time that we have had our own radio it has proved in- valuable, especially at night. At accidents where persons have been injured the hospital has received notice and on arrival of ambulance at hospital the doctor on call is ready to care for the injured.
I wish to thank the Superintendent of Schools and the teachers for their help in teaching the children in regard to Pedestrian Safety.
I wish to express my. thanks and appreciation for the assistance and cooperation given by the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the Fourth District Court, the Telephone operators, the people of Middleborough and the Officers of the Department, who have helped to make the administration of this Department a success.
Respectfully submitted,
ALDEN C. SISSON,
Chief of Police

REPORT OF THE MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit for your consideration and approval the report of the moth department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1945
Our program each year is much the same, but the actual work varies according to the prevalence of pests to combat, the weather, the amount of labor and funds available, and the condition and amount of equipment to fight with.
The Department does considerable spraying of private fruit and ornamental shade trees, potato fields and cranberry bogs. We do this at cost, furnishing the Arsenate of lead, the property owner furnishing whatever other ingredients he wishes. This works to our advantage by eliminating that many more pests as well as to the property owner by saving him the price of buying expensive equip- ment that would be used for a short season.
The gypsy moth menace is increasing, although we have done all we could with the labor and equipment available. This control work consists of cutting roadside brush and the lower limbs of trees which are heavily infested with egg clusters, burning same, creosoting egg clusters, and roadside spraying of the chewing in- sects.
I wish to emphasize this last point, because our roadside trees in many places are rapidly declining, consequently degrading the beauty of our town and lowering the value of real estate. To rem- edy this, we must have new equipment. Our present equipment consists of one good 400 gallon sprayer and two 200 gallon sprayers. These two sprayers are between 30 and 40 years old, were good machines in their day, have many times paid for themselves, but have long since passed their period of efficient usefullness.
I urgently recommend the purchase of a suitable sprayer, money for which has been requested in the departmental estimate for 1946.
In closing, I wish to thank all who have shown an interest in our problems and have co-operated with this department in its fight against harmful tree insects and diseases.
Respectfully submitted, LOUIS H. FORNEY,
Moth Superintendent

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN 1945
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report as tree warden for the year end- ing Dec. 31, 1945.
Our street shade problem is a very serious one. Many trees are so weakened by disease and unusual conditions that they are becoming a menace as well as being unsightly.
The hurricanes of 1938 and 1944 and other unusual wind and snow damage of the last few years have sadly deformed our trees and also left their toll of multitudes of open wounds. These ex- posed wounds are happy entrance places for numerous enemy in- sects and fungi, the damaging' work of which does not at times show up extensively for several years. This is the cause of much of our unsightliness and danger now.
Remember the war is over and we must do all we can to make up on the neglected home front for the time and money diverted to the more important effort for history.
I recommend at the earliest possible time, a suitable appro- priation for the purpose of a program that will assure us adequate shade trees in the years to come. Maintaining the beauty and value of the town should not be neglected longer.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUIS H. FORNEY,.
Tree Warden

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Mr. Roger W. MacDonald, .
Town Manager,
Middleborough, Massachusetts
After twenty-six months in the Hospital Corps of the United States Navy Medical Department, for which a military leave of absence had been granted by the Board of Selectmen, I resumed my duties as the Health Officer of the Town of Middleboro on February 5, 1945. I found the records and general affairs of the office in good condition and that for the amount of time allotted under present part-time basis the work was carried and completed in a commendable manner, for which I am grateful to the tem- porary Health Officer during my absence, Roger Eldredge.
Your local Health Officers have tried in this past year to give close attention to all the factors which bear on the general health of the community.
A preliminary survey by your local Health Officer, accom- panied by officers of the State Department of Public Health, has been made and a report with recommendations submitted to the Board of Selectmen acting as a Board of Health as authorized in the Town Charter.
Some extensions of the rubbish and garbage collection routes have been made this year, with further extensions considered and recommended and also the collection of materials not now col- Icted and aid to all retail stores and other places.
The matter of public dumps has always been a source of trouble, but in the past year, even with the extension of the col- lection service, complaints have noticeably decreased. The main Town Dump on Plymouth Street has been put in much better con- dition and by being able to hire a bulldozer, levelling, covering, widening, and grading the approach has been accomplished. There is, however, room for more improvement, which can and should be done to hold gain made and to operate in a more effi- cient manner.
Cases of childhood illnesses seem to run about the same average each year, but it is hoped that by the continued excellent coopera- tion with our school department the number of cases can be re- duced through immunization, future educational programs, better
73
health habits and inoculations. The tabulation of contagious diseases gives a fair picture of the year, although undoubtedly a good many cases where no doctor was called were not reported. It is called to the attention of all that all cases of contagious illness must be reported, whether a doctor is called or not. As no facilities are ar- ranged for the hospitalization of contagious diseases in our local hospital it has been necessary to transfer some cases to the Haynes Memorial Hospital in Brighton, Mass.
The usual clinic for the immunization against diphtheria was held and the regular Dental Clinic in the schools. It is hoped ar- rangements for other needed clinics can be made in 1946.
Working in close cooperation with the State Department of Public Health and U. S. Public Health Service a special survey of the drug stores, eating and drinking establishments, food sellers and bakers was made. Although the general grading showed that these in the Town of Middleboro were rather low we received ex- cellent cooperation and corrections from the majority of establish- ments and many made immediate improvements voluntarily with promises to continue improvements as soon as needed items were available.
Lectures and sound moving pictures to all owners and em- ployees were given with a fair attendance. These will continue and reasonable rules and regulations recommended as a guidance.
Very little is known about the work of the Health Depart. ment. The work of the Department is not spectacular but it is in- timately associated with the general health of this community and for that reason it should be the concern of everyone living in this town. A great deal more active time is necessary to complete pres- ent details and duties than now provided for. The Health Officer is practically busy six to ten hours daily, is on call twenty-four hours daily seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year. Recom- mendations for assistance have been made.
It is the desire of your Health Officers to keep our health standards high and general health safely guarded at all times.
The total deaths in Middleboro for the year 1945 was 126.
The total contagious and dangerous diseases as follows, a slight increase over the year 1944:
Chicken Pox
26
Dog Bite
9
German Measles

Lobar Pneumonia 2
Malaria 2

12
Mumps
21
Scarlet Fever
96
Pulmonary Tuberculosis
4
Gonorrhea

Syphilis

Encephalitis Lethargica

At this time I wish to express my appreciation for the aid and help given me by the Town Manager, Board of Selectmen as Board of Health, other Department heads, Town employees and our Townspeople .
Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE H. HAYWARD, Health Officer

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WAR PRICE AND RATIONING BOARD
At the beginning of the year, 1945, gasoline, tires, automobiles, meats, fuel oil, processed foods, rubber foot wear and shoes were on the list of articles that were rationed by this board. Price con- trol was recognized as the only means of controlling threatening inflation.
It was only after May 18, 1945 (VE Day) that there was any easing of the rationing program. In the latter part of this month, there was an increase of the value of the A coupons and the B limit was raised to 650 miles per month, which gave the gasoline panel a large amount of extra work.
In June, at the request of the district office; due to the enor- mous number of applications of canning sugar, two new members were added to the food panel: Mr. T. Francis Begley and Mr. Lorenzo Wood.
