LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
The usual library hours were observed at Flint Public Library during the year 1936. Every Tuesday and Saturday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 P. M., also Saturday afternoons from 3:00 to 5:00 P. M. the library was open to serve the public. Many new books have been added to the shelves during the year.
As usual, the library was very glad to cooperate with the school in sending deposits of books for the individual grades. These books are sent to the school every year, so that children who do not have an opportunity to visit the library during library hours may read the books on the approved "State Reading List". Many certificates were awarded by the library in June.
National Book Week came in November and there was a large exhibit of books for all ages. The new books for children and young people are unusually attractive. Many of these were selected from the reading lists of both High and Grammar schools so that credit may be received for reading them.
Quite a donation of books has been received by the library
58
PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT
during the past year. Some of these came from the readers and some from outside sources.
The following magazines were found on the reading-table: American Magazine, American Boy, American Girl, American Home, American Legion, Better Homes and Gardens, Boys Life, Child Life, Christian Science Monitor, The Clubwoman, Good Housekeeping, National Geographic, New England Poultryman, Our Dumb Animals, Outdoor Life, Popular Science, and Specialty Salesman.
The townspeople should be proud of their library and appre- ciate the advantages to be gained from its store of knowledge. The majority of visitors do appreciate the privileges, but a few of the younger people are very thoughtless. They talk loudly and use library property in a careless manner. Several times it has been necessary to have furniture repaired. A number of persons have been suspended for a short time and if the conduct does not im- prove, the suspensions will be much longer. The trustees are offering a reward for the conviction of any person found destroying library property.
Again, the trustees should be commended for their willing cooperations in all library problems.
Respectfully submitted,
SARAH E. CARLETON, Librarian.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of Middleton:
The following is a brief report of the Board of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1936:
During the year just ended there were 65 cases handled, represent- ing 174 persons and were divided as follows:
Unsettled or State cases, 15
Cities and Towns 27
Town cases 23
59
POLICE ROPORT
During the year just ended eight Middleton families living in other cities and towns received aid.
It is the earnest hope of the Welfare Department that all those who are able to work will find employment and by so doing the cost of Wel- fare will be lowered.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
Forty-five persons are now receiving Old Age Assistance; the in- crease over last year is due to the lowering of the age limit from 70 to 65 years.

I once more suggest that the square be marked for proper parking as the place is congested both morning and night, causing many near accidents.
This year we have had three fatal accidents and many serious others. Also the insurance rate is equal to many large cities. I would suggest as a remedy for this the placing of a patroling officer on the main high- ways. While this will mean a larger cost for a police department, it would not be half as much as the citizens of this town pay for excess insurance now and would soon cut down the accidents and insurance.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. YOUNG,
Chief of Police.
REPORT OF THE CATTLE INSPECTOR
Middleton, Mass., February 1, 1937
The report of the Cattle Inspector for the year 1936 is herewith submitted:
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
We have in town five hundred and sixty-two (562) head of cattle, which I find in good condition. The fact that a town has been de- clared modified tuberculosis free should not lead to the mistaken opin- ion that the disease has been entirely eradicated. It has merely been brought under control by reducing the amount of infection to a lower
61
SEALER OF WEIGHTS
point. That the causative agent of the disease still exists in individ- ual animals or herds and may develop into a socalled "break" is too well known to those engaged in livestock disease control work to be overlooked.
The periodic retesting of all bovine animals in the State is impor- tant with a view to reducing the incidence of, and possibly, eventually to eradicating the disease.
SWINE-We have five (5) piggeries in town which are heavily stocked.
Respectfully, LYMAN S. WILKINS.

ASSESSORS' REPORT
The 1936 tax rate was $34.40 per thousand, an increase of $3.00 over the 1935 rate. This increase was due to a higher appropriation and higher State and County taxes. Even though the valuation of the town increased $62,703 this was not sufficient to offset the increased appropriations as the deductions were somewhat less in 1936.
The following is a schedule of the money appropriated and the es- timated receipts deducted therefrom in determining the 1936 tax rate:

ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
To the Voters and Citizens of Middleton:
In reviewing the activities of this department for the past year it is gratifying to find a reduction in line loss from 12.6% to 10.2% This in money saving in current brought amounts to $399.29. This saving is largely due to the quality of the work done by our maintenance crew.
At an increased labor cost of $80.52 we have received from the tel- ephone company for their share in re-placing poles this year, $2,347.50 and in 1935 we received $1,105.00, an increase of $1,242.50. This sav- ing has largely been made possible by adding a power winch and a pole setting derrick to our equipment.
After deducting a 10% depreciation from the value of the plant, we have increased its valuation by $972.82, giving a net plant valuation of $29,137.59.
Total number of meters in use December 31, 1936 is 428. Total number on December 31, 1935 was 400, an increase of 28.
The current consumption for the year increased 79022 KWH. This is very gratifying, as reduction in distribution costs are only possible by increased consumption per customer.
Additional or larger transformers have been installed where nec- essary to take care of increased load or to give a better quality of ser- vice. Radio requirements make it imperative that all tree grounds and arcs from imperfect connections be reduced to a minimum. This we have endeavored to do, and when trouble has been reported every- thing possible has been done to locate and correct it.
Road construction on Boston street has made it necessary to prac- tically rebuild our distribution line on that street. This work will be done by our men and while a portion of the cost of re-location of poles will be paid for by the Telephone Company it has not been possible to bill it in time to have the returns show an income for 1936.
We desire to thank all who have contributed to the welfare of this department, for their good will and cooperation.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
To the Citizens of the Town of Middleton:
The Board of Selectmen submits the following report of its activi- ties for the year ending December 31, 1936 with various recommenda- tions for the coming year.
The reconstruction of Boston street is a much needed improvement. It will decrease the accident hazards, encourage the building of homes thereby increasing the assessed valuation. If the case load remains approximately the same there should be a reflection tending to lower the tax rate.
It is desirable that the construction of Boston Street be continued this year. An appropriation of twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) is the town's allotment for 1937 and should be appropriated for this purpose.
An article has been inserted in the annual town meeting warrant asking for the consideration of the Building and Zoning Laws as pro- posed by the committee authorized by town vote at the annual town meeting held in March, 1931. These laws have been verbally approved by the Attorney General as they were originally drawn.
We feel that if these laws should be adopted by the town that they would provide the Assessors with valuable information and encourage the development of the town as a residential area.
Unemployment is still one of our major issues.
Work relief should be provided for those who are not eligible or who cannot be certified by W. P. A.
We believe that all men receiving dependent aid who are able to work should perform some service in return for aid given. This Board recommends that a "Work Relief Program" be provided this year.
Work on the "Recreation Park" has provided a splendid project for those certified by the W. P. A. The continuance of this project will decrease the welfare load and on its completion will provide recre- ational facilities for our townspeople.
During the year two projects were in progress, the "Baseball Diamond" and the "Skating Area." Loam was removed from the skating area for loaming the baseball diamond.
The suggestion was made and this Board believes it advisable to consolidate the two projects into one, by so doing there is no duplica- tion of work.
The new project submitted for approval provides for the employ- ment of twenty men for a period of ten months. This project must be completed before December 31, 1937.
69
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
The scope of the project is as follows:
Loaming 5797 cubic yards '
Grading
25525 square yards
Sodding slopes 412 square yards
Excavation
1032 cubic yards
Fill
835 cubic yords
Dam (stone and gravel)
567 cubic yards
Field stone posts 18.33 cubic yards
At the present time this board has under consideration a form of Purchase Requisition to be used by the heads of all departments when purchasing materials or equipment for the town. We feel that the adoption of such a system would provide a more complete check of purchases made and would have a tendency to facilitate matters at the time for payment by the town.
In bringing our report to a close, we wish to express our appre- ciation of the spirit of cooperation shown by the members of the var- ious departments. A great amount of credit should be given to the members of the Finance Committee who by their untiring efforts have endeavored to make possible a lower tax rate for 1937.

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT
Middleton, Mass., February 10, 1937
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
We submit to you our report of the fire department for the year of 1936.
During the year the town has been very fortunate in loss of prop- erty caused by fire. The total loss on assessed property amounted to approximately $3,850.00.
We have added some new equipment to the department, which was very much in need.
We are very much pleased to say that for the year of 1937, we have cut our budget to the lowest possible figure, which is $300.00 less than 1936 and $400.00 less than 1935.
Chief Rollins has submitted his report to the Board, which is as follows:
During the year the department responded to thirty-six alarms- Dwellings 3; camps 2; barn 1; chimney 4; automobile 3; false alarm 1; brush and forest 22.
In conclusion we wish to express our appreciation to Chief Rollins and all firemen for their earnest cooperation and assistance with the Board of Engineers.
