A different program in Library instruction to the pupils of the 8th Grade of Junior High School was car- ried out this year. Each of the six classes was given two lessons at the Library; the first in the use of reference books, and the second an explanation of our classification, and the use of the card catalog. These lessons were fol- lowed by reviews given in class by the English teachers, and finally by an examination prepared by the Librarian. The children were made conscious of our interest in them ; were made to feel that the Library is a friendly institu- tion, and that the Staff welcomes an opportunity to meet them and help them with their home work and their re- creational reading. Many of the children showed keen understanding and interest, and we look to these children to avail themselves of library service in its fullest mean- ing. They have been given the key, and we believe that with continued encouragement they will profit by its in- telligent use.
Activities
The Librarian, and the Staff when possible, have at- tended all Massachusetts Library Club and Old Colony Library Club meetings. Our Library entertained fifty members of the Old Colony Library Club at an all day meeting in June. Dr. J. Holbrook Shaw for the Directors, and Rev. Alfred R. Hussey, contributed to an interesting program.

Story Hours are proving so popular that our Chil- dren's Room is becoming inadequate for seating capacity. There were over 200 present at the Book Week Story Hour, when Miss Margaret Kyle told stories, and the overflow would have filled another room as large. The purchase of 100 folding chairs would contribute to the comfort of the children, and to the future success of our story hours, which obviously mean so much to them.
In Conclusion
We are very grateful to library friends for gifts of books and flowers received during the year. To Mrs. William Randall, and to Mrs. Lucille H. Morse who is continuing the Long Pond work in Mrs. Randall's ab- sence; to Mr. Beaman for chairs loaned ; and to Mr. Paul Bittinger for publicity in the Old Colony Memorial, we extend our appreciation.
We are dependent on nearby public libraries, and special libraries, for the lending of books through the Inter-Library Loan arrangement; and for this favor we express our sincere thanks.
The constructive interest of the members of the Staff ; and the continued loyalty of the Board of Directors, have made the past year one of accomplishment and pleasure.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLOTTE HASKINS,
Librarian.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
We respectfully submit the following report for the year ending December 31,,1932.
BEACH PARK
A large septic tank was installed at the bath house. The sewerage sysem which had been connected with Eel River was diverted to this tank, thereby averting con- tinued trouble at the river with shifting sand.
An additional float for the bathers was launched for the enjoyment of our ever increasing crowds.
Bath house receipts, $897.90.
STEPHENS FIELD
The infield of the baseball diamond was surfaced with a coating of clay, making it much smoother and faster for baseball.
A new and larger water pipe line was laid from the Fremont Street entrance to the comfort station.
Bath house receipts, $53.75.
BREWSTER GARDEN
Field stones were placed along the banks of Town Brook to keep the current from tearing away the river banks and changing the appearance of the stream. The usual care was given to the grounds and shrubs.
SOUTH STREET PLAYGROUNDS
The smaller children in this locality get a great
-109-
amount of enjoyment from the slides, swings and play- ground equipment.
BURTON PARK
This Park has been made more conspicuous since the buildings of P. & B Street Railway were removed.
BATES PARK
The shrubs and grounds received the usual care.
NELSON STREET PLAYGROUND
Swamp lands in the northerly section were filled with sand and gravel.
Bath house receipts, $28.05.
MUNICIPAL CAMP.
From the opening of this camp on June 1st to the closing on September 15th, the grounds were filled with camping parties and their equipment. Over two thou- sand tents were pitched during the season. Amount re- ceived from camping fees, $714.60.
DEPOT PARK
The usual care was given the grounds and shrubs.
VETERANS FIELD
Improvements to this playground included the filling in of the hollow and leveling of the grounds.
The playground equipment and athletic apparatus are crowded with children whenever school is not in session.
TRAINING GREEN
The usual care was given this park during the year.
INDIAN LANDS
Through the generous cooperation of the Welfare Board, large groups of men, formerly unemployed, were
-110-
sent to the Indian Reservation on the shore of Fresh Pond in Manomet.
The Park Superintendent took charge of these men and cleared about eight acres of land, of all underbrush, cut down trees where necessary, and built roads.
A beautiful camping ground was the result of three months' work in this section, surpassing Morton Park in appearance.
An administration building was erected, pumps and toilets were installed, and by the first of July a caretaker was placed in charge and the camp opened.
After this camp becomes advertised by the tourists who have enjoyed its beauty and conveniences, we are certain that it will surpass Nelson Street in its popular- ity, and will be a valuable asset in helping Plymouth in- crease the number of its summer colony.
The receipts for auto fees were $148.95
MORTON PARK
The unemployed have helped our Park Department employees in cutting dead trees from the swamps.
The work of fighting the gypsy moth was continued.
Much time has been given to cleaning underbrush for the prevention of forest fires.
Bath house receipts, $59.50.
One hundred and ten cords of wood were given to the unemployed.

To the Board of Health, Plymouth, Mass.
Gentlemen :-
For the year, 1932, I am happy to report a minimum of contagious diseases requiring our supervision and support. Only three cases of scarlet fever and two of diphtheria, under care of this department, were in the Jordan Hospital contagious ward during the past twelve months.
There has been considerable improvement in the san- itary conditions in, and about, the town which in my opinion has been in a large measure due to a more hearty co-operation of the householders, and this de- partment. With the opening of the boy and girl scout camps there is always a dread of some contagious dis- eases being introduced by some child from out of town. This I am happy to say has not now occurred for sev- eral years, as applicants for admission to such camps are all given through medical examination before be- ing admitted.
Together with Mr. Morse I have inspected all the camps in Plymouth several times during the past sea- son, and have found conditions satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,
WALTER D. SHURTLEFF, M. D., Health Officer ..

Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report as physician to the Board of Health for the year 1932.
During the year I have attended all cases referred to me for treatment and examination; also consultations as to diagnosis of contagious diseases with other physicians.
You will notice by report of contagious diseases that during August, September, October and November, Plymouth was almost free from contagion. During Sep- tember there wasn't a case reported.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM E. CURTIN, M. D.,

In the month of January one pig's head was con- demned, having an abcess. In February one cow's head was condemned because it had actinomycosis. On March 15, a calf was seized at a market in Plymouth which did not have a stamp on it, and was condemned as unfit for food. The conditions at the slaughter house are very good, the place is kept as clean as possible, the place should be provided with a scale to weigh calves. During the past year the Inspector has been to Pondville near Great Herring Pond eight times to see pigs killed.

REPORT OF FIRE COMMISSIONER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Town of Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit the report of the Plymouth Fire Department for the year of 1932.
The department is still maintaining the high standard of efficiency, as shown by the statistical report, the total loss being but (38,372.00) thirty-eight thousand three hundred and seventy-two dollars with a total exposed value of (420,650.00) four hundred and twenty thou- sand and six hundred and fifty dollars, one fire the loss being (30,040.00) thirty thousand forty dollars, (329) three hundred and twenty-nine calls answered during the year. Such a record certainly should entitle the de- partment to the continued loyal support of your Honor- able Board and the citizens of the town.
PERSONNEL
The excellent spirit of enthusiasm and co-operation continues to exist throughout the entire department. This is especially shown by the way the call men respond to alarms, the records for the past five years showing 90% attendance; also considerable credit is due the per- manent men when off duty, the records showing about 99% attendance.
BUILDINGS
Both Central and North Stations are in good repair with the exception of Central Station which should be painted inside, but owing to present ecomonic conditions, nothing is contemplated for this year.
-122-
APPARATUS
Combination A. 350 gallon pump hose and booster. Combination D. 350 gallon pump hose and booster. Combination B. 750 gallon pump and hose. Ladder truck.
Housed at North Plymouth
Combination C hose and booster pump are in good condition ; horse drawn ladder truck I can but refer you to past reports.
It was found necessary during the year to have con- siderable work on D-B- and Ladder Truck, and there is still more to be done to bring them up to the standard that they should be kept in. Of course this was to be ex- pected taking into consideration they were purchased in 1916, and have given seventeen years of service. The Chief's car purchased in 1925, is still usable, but rapidly nearing the point where it will be more economical to purchase a new car than pay for excessive and contin- ued repairs.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The new construction from Jabez Corner to Cliff Street with new box, has been completed within the ap- propriation provided at Annual Town Meeting, 1932.
The system should be extended from Cliff Street to a point beyond Hotel Pilgrim. It is proposed to have an article in the Town Warrant asking that this extension be made.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
For the Year Ended December 31, 1932
The work of this Department has been carried on the past year in the usual manner, and we have been able to do all that seemed necessary without expending all the money appropriated for Burial Hill and the Outlying Cemeteries.
It would be very desirable and economical to lay more hard surface on the Avenues in Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries, but we do not think general conditions warrant the necessary outlay of money at this time.
We have tried to give all attention possible to the Out- lying Cemeteries, and have made considerable improve- ment at Manomet. At Chiltonville the Avenue has been improved, and at Cedarville the fence has been repaired, and some of the proposed paths have been defined and covered with a gravel surface. At South Pond the iron fence around the entire Cemetery has been painted.
Your Commissioners, and the Citizens of the Town, have always taken pride in the general appearance of our Cemeteries. It has been the policy of this Board, as well as those who have officiated before us, to maintain that high standard, and we feel that we have been able to do so. In making our plans for 1933, however, we are confronted with the fact that the Town must curtail ex- penditures. The conditions which have prevailed the past two years, and are still with us, make it imperative that all expenses be kept at the lowest possible figure. After careful consideration we recommend the following appropriations. We feel reasonably sure that we can care for the several Cemeteries with these amounts, and with no serious detriment to their general appearance.
