CONCLUSION
The year 1955 was a "period of adjustment" for the Gas Division and also our gas customers since this was our first full year on Natural Gas. Although our profits tend to be low because of increased ex- penses due to paying off the conversion to Natural Gas, extra deprecia- tion expense and expense of giving better service to customers, we believe that, with the improved rates, our gas customers are getting a good value.
The Electric Division continues to operate on the same improved level. We are pleased that satisfactory overall earnings and service have been maintained in spite of rising costs and without increase in rates.
The cooperation and guidance of the Board of Selectmen and other citizens in assisting this Department with the many and varied problems is appreciated.

REPORT OF THE VETERANS' SERVICE DEPARTMENT
For the Year 1955
The expenditures for 1955 have increased considerable in cost and in number of cases handled over the 1954 budget on account of the case load and increase in the law of the amount allowed both for hospitalization and aid. Also, in the number of veterans, servicemen and their dependents now in the Town.
Medical, hospital, rest home and nursing home cases have in- creased especially among the older people in the number of cases handled and the amount allowed by the State for the year 1955.
Veterans' Benefits cases are paid by the State and Town on an equal basis, each paying one-half of the cost.
All records and amounts paid on Veterans' Benefits cases are in- vestigated and approved by the Commissioner's Office before being paid and all expenditure accounts are audited by the Commissioner's Office and the State Auditors.
The following is a list of cases which have been handled by this office during the year of 1955.

REPORT OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY
January 17, 1956
Board of Selectmen
Middleborough
Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The year 1955 was the sixth successive year of successful operation of the Veterans' Housing Project at Archer Court. The 28 apartments at the Project were fully tenanted throughout the year; while the turnover of tenants was rather large, with nine families moving out during the year, the vacancies were filled immedately without loss of revenue.
The general physical condition of the property has been main- tained at a very high level during the year. The one problem that the Project has suffered has been corrected by tiling the tub areas of all of the 28 bathrooms in the Project.
The Middleborough Veterans' Housing Project was constructed and is operated under Chapter 200 of the General Laws of Massa- chusetts to provide low cost housing to veterans of limited income. Low rents are made possible by a State subsidy, a maximum of $7,000.00 for Middleborough. Admission to the Project is restricted to veterans whose family income ranges between $2,000.00 and $3,500.00, although if once admitted the veteran may remain until his family income reaches a maximum of $4,000.00. The amount of rent paid is determined by the veteran's income and the size of his family, with large families paying a slightly lower rent than small families.
The average shelter rent for 1955 was $38.52 and the average charge for all utilities, electricity, heat and water was $18.00 per month. The subsidy from the Commonwealth for the year amounted to only $4,173.50 and the Project ended the year with a surplus of $2,459.66. The sum of $1,008.00 was paid to the Town of Middleborough in lieu of taxes.
The appended financial statement shows the excellent financial condition of the Authority at the end of the year.
Respectfully submitted,

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE 1955
(PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE) By Robert B. Ewing, Agent-Manager
The Plymouth County Extension Service is an educational organi- zation which is a part of the United States Department of Agriculture and the University of Massachusetts.
There are three departments-Agriculture, Home and 4-H-and the office in the Court House, Brockton, Massachusetts.
The Program of each department-Agriculture, Home Economics and 4-H is planned with the cooperation of farm, rural and urban people. County Extension Agents strive to bring to county people the results of research in Agriculture and Homemaking, that will increase incomes, provide a better living, and happier family life, by teaching people to help themselves. Hundreds of leaders trained by the Exten- sion Service staff augment their teaching by publicizing Exten- sion Service Programs and passing on to people in their own communi- ties the information they have received.
Funds for County Aid to Agriculture are derived principally from the County. Some Federal funds are also made available through the University of Massachusetts. Most towns in Plymouth County make a token appropriation which is used for the general expenditures of the Plymouth County Extension Service. Town Directors are appointed in those towns where an appropriation is made. These Town Directors are unpaid volunteer leaders who serve as the Extension Service repre- senatives in their respective town.
