During the past year all veterans' activities within the town has been combined under this office.

REPORT OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
County Aid to Agriculture is an official department under the super- vision of the County Commissioners. It is commonly known as the Plymouth County Extension Service, and is made up of three departments - Agriculture, Homemaking, and 4-H Club Work. Its function is adult . education and service to county people, particularly in reference to the problems of rural people.
The contribution of each town is a token of appreciation which relieves the county budget of additional appropriation to support this organization. The Extension Service Office is located at the Court House, Brockton. The United States Department of Agriculture, the University of Massachusetts, the County of Plymouth and individual towns co-operate in maintaining this service for farmers, homemakers, and rural youth. In 1947 all Plymouth County towns have been given equal opportunity for service and each town has received benefits in proportion to the need and requests.
The Agricultural Department has been handicapped by lack of a full staff of workers for part of the year. Despite this loss, a comprehensive educational program for dairymen, poultrymen, market gardeners, fruit growers and cranberry growers, has been pomoted. Other programs and service for home gardeners, general livestock producers, woodlot owners,; and for others of a wide variety of interests have also been carried on. This Department is guided by an Agricultural Council and individual commodity committees which meet frequently to consider the important phases requiring educational attention.
111
The Homemaking Department, represented by Home Demonstration Agents, has also had a limited staff. The teaching of women's groups in clothing, home furnishings, food production and preservation, home man- agement, nutrition, and child deevlopment, have been featured. This Department is guided by the Women's Advisory Council and by Town Committees who render valuable assistance in this teaching program.
The 4-H Club Department is recovering from the war period during which numbers of young people of 4-H club age were engaged in war work which was not conducive to interest in club work. All towns have the opportunity of having 4-H clubs for boys and girls. The boys' work includes organized clubs for dairy, poultry, sheep and gardening. The girls' department offers organized clubs teaching canning, clothing, food preparation, home furnishing and child care. The individual club members may take up other interests and be given assistance by the club agents. The most important thing in club work is the responsibility for leader- ship. Without town leadership, 4-H club agents are unable to carry on a constructive club program.
- The entire Extension Service program is under the direction of a Board of Trustees, whose chairman is Russell Makepeace, Marion.
Direct responsibility for the Extension Service is the assignment of J. T. Brown, Director.

REPORT OF THE TOWN MANAGER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Middleboro, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I herewith present the annual report of the Town Manager for the year ending December 31, 1947.
HIGHWAYS
The program of surfacing gravel roads was extended to include most of the highways within a radius of two miles from the Town Hall along with the feeder roads between heavily travelled routes.
116
The application of bituminous surface has resulted in lower main- tenance costs compared to gravel road maintenance.
Thomas Street was extended under the Chapter 90 Construction program and is to be the location for more work in 1948.
Murdock Street, Centre Street, Taunton Street, Smith Street, Miller Street, Perry Street, Marion Road and Long Point Road were surfaced under the Chapter 90 Maintenance Program.
The railroad bridge on West Grove Street was replanked.
Consideration should be given to the problem of the housing of the Highway equipment, the answer, in my opinion, being the construction of a suitable fireproof garage so that all the departmental equipment can be placed under cover.
WATER
The sand on No. 3 Filter was replaced for the first time since the construction of the filter in 1937 and it is planned during 1948, to replace the coke in the reisler and the sand in Filter No. 1 and No. 2.
The plant has been operated for much longer periods during 1947 than in previous years due to the large requirements of water needed for construction purposes.
Consideration should be given to the consolidation of all the water extension requests in order than a feasible and workable plan, which would not burden the town financially, could be adopted.
SEWER
As the town is compelled by law to alleviate the dumping of untreated sewage in the Nemasket 'River, the disposal plan which has been proposed by the engineers should be started in 1948. This work will require an appropriation which will increase the tax rate but the cost of the system can be amortized by setting a proper sewer rental fee when the street system and laterals are constructed.
It would be equitable to charge the sewer rental on the basis of the water meter readings so that the persons using the sewers would be the ones to assume the operating expenses ..
As it is only necessary at this time to consider a disposal plant and feeders the system of street sewers should be planned and be ready for adoption at a later date.
I wish to express my appreciation to all officers and employees of the Town of Middleboro who have been responsible for the efficient execution of their duties during the year 1947.
Respectfully submitted,
E. C. PETERSON, Town Manager.
