The program was much the same as the previous two years. Subjects taken up were rents and assessed values, valuations of public utilities, mapping programs for assessors, types of building materials, equalization methods and values, and defending assessments with good records - all of which were presented in the form of lectures by experts, and were fol- lowed by question and answer periods. Part of the instruction consisted of field trip appraisals which gave actual appraisal experience according to the State Manual Methods. These were followed by discussion periods in which the assessors explained their problems and points of view and presented the methods, or lack thereof, they had been using.


It is the hope of The State Department of Corporations and Taxation that the adoption and installation of the ideas presented at these school sessions will go a long way towards correcting the inequalities that exist today in local assessments of real property.


Uniformity in assessments has a facet which is often overlooked. The Commonwealth has some twenty-five programs in which equalized assessed valuation forms the base upon which state funds are distributed to cities and towns, or assessments are levied for county or district pur- poses. Seventy-five million dollars of income and corporation tax receipts are distributed to cities and towns by formulas based upon the equalized valuation of property as established by the General Court in 1945.


The impact of the enormous growth in the character, cost and quan- tity of municipal services and schools which the local government is required to furnish today falls with ever increasing severity on the shoulders of the assessors. If the taxpayer feels that he is paying too much in his local government taxes, the appropriating and spending authorities must take the responsibility; but if he feels that these are in- equitably apportioned, the assessing board must be furnished with the necessary funds to cover the time and skills to achieve this purpose.


Property assessment is the only important tax program administered by local officials, and it is one tax - which, if properly done - requires technical skill to administer. This technical skill consists of the deter- mination of the placement of comparative values.


Value is a word of many meanings. There is no static value, it is fluid and ever-changing. Value is an opinion derived from conditions which are brought about by three things: need, desire, and the exchange for goods, or money for goods. It is guided by construction costs, selling

prices, and income possibilities. Time is a very vital requirement for these determinations and placements. With the increasing size of the tax rate and the increasing length of the tax rolls, there has been a large in- crease in the demand of the assessors' time.


Besides studying the theoretical viewpoint of establishing valuations for assessing purposes and getting the rundown of State Legislation with the tax commissioners' explanation and interpretation of the same, we have attended Plymouth County Assessors' Association Meetings and also met with the assessors of neighboring towns to discuss our particular problems such as swamp and wood land, farm land and animals and equipment, cranberry raising and local industries.


Following is a list of valuations of taxable property, expenses paid by taxation, and the tax rates for several years; which may help show why taxes are anywhere from double to four or five times what they were "years ago".

These figures show an increase in the amount to be raised by taxa- tion of $581,633.79, which is more than double the figure of 1950. This has placed a burden on the assessors who have increased the valuation by $2,460,720.00 both by new construction and equalization during the period between 1950 and 1958.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


The year of 1958 in Civil Defense has presented a series of problems due to the fact that we have had two directors. This has not prevented a steady expansion of our existing facilities or the organization of new departments. The early part of 1958 was spent chiefly in work on the organizational set up.


The big job of the survey of the housing potential was carried on with the aid of the Civil Defense Committee of the Cabot Club.


From January to June - A series of suppers was held in various areas of the town to determine the feeding capacity of the several sites, the number of personnel required, and the number that could be fed in a specified time. At the same time those units that put on the supper were able to raise money to buy additional cooking equipment. At each supper the C. D. officials attempted to give a little instruction in C. D. survival measures.


In March Middleborough participated in a statewide alert, which was intended to present to us a problem of how to deal with an actual enemy attack. We had at that time moved into our control center in the Town Hall basement.


In order to aquaint the public with the essentials for survival a plan was set up with the cooperation of the Junior Cabot Club to work with the local milk companies, and distribute booklets on home sanitation and pro- tection during the month of March. Also in May, we participated in Governor Furcolo's used clothing collection. Mr. Alton Kramer in charge.


C. D. officials also attended the C. D. exercises in New Bedford, demonstrations were given of mass feeding, rescue, and first aid lady Reading, of England, the originator of the Civil Defense idea spoke to the group.


Mr. Clayton Thomas bought a truck to be used as a mobile feeding unit, it has been refitted and equipped.


On May 28, Mr. Thomas resigned, leaving Mrs. Hall and myself to hold the unit together until a new director could be appointed.


Mr. Paul Stiga was appointed director in August and held the office until December, when he resigned.


The Aux. Police are well organized and are being equipped as rapidly as funds are available. They now have overcoats and raincoats and boots are on order. Pistols have been purchased for their use in emergencies.


The communications men continue holding radio drills in message handling both on the town circuits and the sector 2B circuit.


The communications truck will soon be in full commission for emer- gency work whereever it is needed.


84


ANNUAL REPORT


The medical service continues to expand as more volunteers are added to the roster of workers.


Mr. Clarence Hayward has been appointed Deputy Director in charge of the medical service under Dr. Beuthner who is the C. D. Medi- cal Officer.


The Welfare Service contains in its structure several other units such as housing, feeding, registration, clothing, religious and other im- portant services.


These are very ably administered by Deputy Director Mrs. Harold Hall, who also has under her direction such departments as Supply, Transportation and Public Relations.


Mr. Ellsworth Crowell, Deputy Director, has as part of his duties training new men in communications and the job of operations officer in the control center during an emergency.


A very large amount of work has been done in making the various surveys called for by State C. D. Officials.


These include, fuel storage, bottled gas, building materials, trucks, engineering equipment, and others.


The feeding team has had to postpone the cooking school until the early part of 1959 due to previous commitments of the instructors.


The compilation of the Middleboro Civil Defense plan, which will entitle Middleboro to share in federal funds as well as state funds was another big job carried out by the two senior deputies in the absence of a director.


In addition to the activities noted above considerable money was saved to the town thru articles purchased from the matching funds program. Also a saving was made thru purchases of various types of surplus material.


I wish to convey my appreciation and thanks to the Town officials and to the people of Middleboro who have donated their time and material, to help make the year 1958 a successful one for the Middleboro Civil Defense agency.


Respectfully submitted,


PAUL WEAVER, Director of Civil Defense

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


To the citizens of Middleborough :


The Middleborough Planning Board is pleased to submit its annual report.


The year 1958 was noteworthy in the respect that with it came the passage of a Zoning By-Law for our Town. After several years of diligent work on the part of the Planning Board, it was our pleasure to see the voters accept a Zoning By-Law at a Special Town Meeting in June.


We feel that the Zoning By-Law as presented and accepted by the voters will be of direct benefit to the people of Middleborough. It has always been our endeavor to make studies and recommenadtions that we feel are in the best interests of our Town.


We wish to take this opportunity to thank the voters who have en- dorsed our proposals, and to extend our appreciation to the various Town officials who cooperated in our work.

All milk dealers have a license issued by the Milk Control Board and one issued by me for the Town of Middleboro to sell milk and cream.


Sixty-five samples of dealers milk and sixty-seven samples of school milk and eight samples of producers milk were taken to Steele's Labora- tory in East Bridgewater for tests. No mastitis was found in any of the samples.


Two hundred and thirty-eight inspections were made of roadside stands, restaurants and stores to see that the milk was properly refrigerated.


Forty-three inspections were made of milk trucks on the streets, forty-seven inspections were made on dairies and barns about the han- dling of their milk. Forty-eight inspections were made on producers for conditions of their milking machines and other equipment. Seventy-five inspections were made on milk dispensers.
