We recommend that the sum of eight hundred dollars be ap- propriated for the year 1911.
During the summer of 1910 a complete resurvey of Vine Hill Cemetery was made, and also a survey of the boundary lines of Oak Grove cemetery. At Vine Hill cemetery two hundred and fifty (250) new lots were staked out with a new and more per- manent form of marker than that heretofore in use.
Also the corners of many old lots heretofore not well defined have been relocated. A plan showing all the work done in Vine Hill cemetery has been made on a scale of 40 feet to the inch.
For use in connection with this plan, a card catalogue system has been developed, which is a great improvement over the sys- tem heretofore in use for recording the ownership of lots and the burials on the lots.
-97-
All the lots in Vine Hill cemetery are numbered and their numbers are shown on the plan previously referred to. In the card catalogue the owners of all lots in Vine Hill cemetery are given a card and these cards are filed alphabetically. This card gives the number of the lot, the area of the lot, and the price paid for the same. On the back of the card is a sketch showing the location of burials on the lot. A book is kept in which the numbers of the lots are kept numerically, starting with No. 1. Opposite this lot number is given the name of the owner. By using the book in conjunction with the card catalogue, if we know the lot number we can instantly find the name of the owner by looking in the book. If we know the owner and wish to find the lot number, we can find that from the card catalogue, and knowing the number of the lot we can fix its location in Vine Hill cemetery from the plan.
It seems to the Commissioners that this system is bound to be a great improvement over the one heretofore in use and represents, they believe, the best modern practice in keeping cemetery records.
Annexed to this report is a statement of the Funds, showing an increase of fifteen since the last report.

The Directors desire to again express their gratitude to the ladies of the Book Club for their annual donation to the Li- brary, comprising this year 68 volumes of the best works of fiction, biography and history; also to Mrs. Theodore P. Adams for a valuable and useful collection of music, and to Mr. Thomas Russell of Boston for 20 volumes, chiefly of Massachusetts Historical Collections and Proceedings.
The Directors during the past year felt obliged, in justice to the older patrons of the Library, to limit the delivery of books to the younger children to the hours from 12 to 2 p. m. and from 4 to 6 p. m., and the change has been most beneficial
-104-
to the quiet enjoyment and usefulness of the reading room, resulting in a greatly increased use of the room, particularly during the evening.
During the winter months of 1910 the reading room was opened each Sunday afternoon to ascertain the number of per- sons desiring such accommodation, and the same experiment is being tried during the present winter.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
There is little new to report in the management of the pub- lic parks. The customary appropriation, never too large to maintain and improve the parks according to the very modest plans of your Commissioners, has become inadequate on ac- count of the increased cost of labor. All other expenses have been reduced to a minimum, yet the account has been over- drawn by about one hundred dollars. The only alternative open to your Commissioners was to stop work when the ap- propriation was exhausted. This would have been a hardship for our employees, which we do not think the voters contem- plated when they directed the Commissioners to increase wages. We need our men when work is plenty elsewhere. To lay them off when there is little demand for labor, and when they can be employed to advantage in the parks, should be avoided if possible ; but this will require a somewhat larger appropriation for the coming year.
It has been stated in these reports that the growth which covered Morton Park when it came into possession of the Town was chiefly oak sprouts, which never develop into very large trees and never are long lived. In our surrounding wood- lands it is customary to cut such sprouts before they lose their vitality. A new crop of sprouts will grow from the old stumps, but each crop is less vigorous than its predecessor. A growth of sprouts, or coppice, supplies shade and many of the attractions of a forest, in spite of its monotonous character ; but the trees, considered as individuals, are deformities and the impressive grandeur and beauty, as well as the permanence
-106-
of a forest of trees grown from seeds are wanting and sorely missed by all who know and love trees. As the old sprout growth in Morton Park deteriorates it is cut and sold for firewood. All promising seedling trees are nursed by giving them room to grow while young seedlings, of different va- rieties, are planted as we have money for the purpose. This work should continue in order to give variety and permanence to the land cover and make it truly a forest, where future gen- erations may find all the joy and inspiration for which the generous founder of this park worked so devotedly to prepare the way.
We are happy to say that the gypsy moth has not established itself in our parks. The white oak trees contain a number of nests of brown-tail moths, however, and these nests must be re- moved before spring, at some extra expense.
We note with pleasure a gift to the town, by Mr. Henry Hornblower and associates, of a considerable section of Plymouth Beach, adjacent to Beach Park, which largely increases the por- tion of the beach which must always remain open for the use of the public.
Negotiations are in progress which make it probable that a suitable fountain may be obtained for an outlet to the Brewster Spring, to be located on the small lot, on the easterly corner of Main and Leyden streets, which has been accepted as a public park.

The only serious fire for the year was one near the Jones bog, Ellisville, starting Oct. 4 and continuing until Oct. 6,
.
-109-
burning over about 200 acres of good wood at a cost to the Town of $446.18.
In the early spring six fires were set near the Bourne Saw Mill, and after a thorough investigation by Deputy Sheriff J. T. Collingwood, no more fires occurred. The usual num- ber of fires on the Middleboro Railroad, caused by sparks from engines, were reported and were extinguished at a cost to the Town of $170, the bill for which has been forwarded to the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. for settlement. On account of the dry fall the watchman at the tower was kept on duty until . Nov. 1, and the very efficient manner in which he has attended to his duty has enabled the Department to get to the fires very quickly.
I wish to thank the Deputy Forest Wardens for their sup- port and co-operation at all times.
I respectfully ask for an appropriation of $1,000 for this Department.

It was the intention of my predecessor, George R. Briggs, to purchase a power sprayer, as there was an ample amount appropriated, but there were several machines examined by Mr. Briggs and myself which did not prove to be suitable for the conditions of this town. I therefore decided to purchase an improved hand outfit, at a cost of $90.00, which has given very satisfactory results. It is my intention to secure a power machine as soon as I find one which will be adapted to our peculiar conditions, so that the work can be handled at less expense.
It has been necessary to remove a number of the old elms and set out new trees to replace them. About four dozen elms
-111-
and maples have been planted in various sections of the town. Trimming has been done, as was necessary or practical.
Several young elms were given to the town, some of which were set out as street trees, and others put in the nursery for later use.
The elm beetle was later and more numerous than usual.
Owing to the spraying which was done the shade trees show very little sign of any infestation of either the gypsy or brown- tail moth.
I estimate that the town should appropriate $800 for the tree warden account.

There were 241 orchards and 72 sections of woodland in- - fested with the gypsy moth between the Kingston and Bourne lines. Owing to effective work done by spraying, burlaping and creosoting, many of these colonies have been practically exterminated, especially in the pond districts. There was an unusual flight of the brown-tail moth, but the winter webs of this insect are now being cut off and burned. Much work in this line is being done by the property owners. The condi- tions are somewhat improved, as compared with the past few. years, especially in the woodland.
A new improved hand sprayer was purchased, the same as that mentioned in the tree warden report, which has proved to give very satisfactory results. .
I respectfully ask for an appropriation of $1,500.00 for this department.

Local Superintendent.

BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The Board of Health respectfully submit the following report for the year ending December 31st, 1910.
There has been a total of seventy-four cases of contagious disease as compared with one hundred and seventeen of the preceding year. It was found necessary for the Board to take control and furnish medical attendance, nursing, supplies, etc., in five cases of Diphtheria, three of Scarlet Fever, four of Tuber- culosis, three of Infantile Paralysis, two of Typhoid, one of Parotitis and one of Scabies.
In one case of Scarlet Fever it became necessary to remove a family to other quarters, the expense of such removal being borne by the appropriation.
The Act classing Infantile Paralysis, a contagious disease, and advice that a quarantine of six weeks be enforced, has caused extra expenditure in these cases cared for by the Board.
Of four cases, affected with Tuberculosis and indigent, two have accepted removal to Lakeville for special treatment and two have been cared for at home.
Sixteen cases of imigrants from Cholera infected districts of Europe have been reported and have, with the exception of one case, caused no action on the part of the Board.
The work of disinfecting in all cases of contagious disease has been continued as in the past. A sum of fifty dollars has been expended to secure the services of Mr. Tower for this branch of the work and a nominal charge (i. e.) to cover cost of chemicals has been made whenever this work has been done by request. (
-118-
At no time did any of the contagious diseases become epi- demic, and in all ways has the work for the year been satisfactory to the Board.
The public dumps have been maintained during the past year at the cost of a caretaker alone. Practically no complaints have been received of these necessarily unsightly places and no re- pairs or alterations worth mentioning have been made.
The condition of the marshes at the head of the beach became the cause of complaint at an early part of the year. The accumu- lation of stagnant water, forming a most excellent breeding place for mosquitoes and incidentally, malaria, the Board deemed temporary drainage a necessary expedient and caused the same to be effected, the expense for the same being borne by the ap- propriation.
We recommend that an appropriation of $307.48 be made to meet the overdrawn account by the Board during the past year. Also that a sum of $3,000 be appropriated to cover the expenses of the Board during the coming year.
The inspectors of plumbing are Arthur A. Sampson and Michael D. Welch.
The inspectors have issued 151 permits and have made 238 inspections.
The permits were issued, 53 for new buildings and 98 for old houses.
The following were given licenses to slaughter cattle and swine : Thomas E. Swift, John M. Kinsley, Charles W. Ray- mond, Alton A. Wood, Jacob Steinburg, A. Ardizzoni, Morris Resnick, Sabastian Cavicchi, G. H. Kelton, Tomaso Guidoboui, and Flamino Montanari.
The inspector of the Board has furnished the following re- port of such cases of complaint in which it was necessary to. take some action :-
