The usual trimming and spraying has been done to the street trees throughout the Town, also a lot of root trimming to allow new sidewalks to be built. There is much more of this latter work to be done. The trees we now have that are from five to fifteen years old are com- mencing to need more care, and constant watch has to be kept over the very old ones.


I anticipate more work to be done this year than ever before in the way of trimming; dead branches, low branches and roots that have outgrown the sidewalks. It is necessary that this should be done to safeguard the pub- lic. Therefore I recommend an appropriation of $3,000.00 for labor and supplies for the coming year, for this de- partment.

REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Gentlemen :


There have been forty-three fires during the past year. None of them covered a large area and notwithstanding the dryness of the season, the property loss has been the smallest in years. The Patrol System established here a few years ago, and which has now come into general use all over the State, I consider responsible for the large reduction of forest fires.


The bill now before the Legislature, aimed at the man who throws lighted matches and cigarettes from his au- tomobile while travelling on roads adjacent to woodland, is expected to help curb the careless smoker, who, on account of the large increase in the number of automo- biles, has become a growing menace.


The total expense the past year, has amounted to $2,859.56, leaving a balance on hand of $640.44. I recom- mend an appropriation of $3500 for the purpose of pre- venting and suppressing fires during the year 1930.

REPORT OF TOWN FORESTRY COMMITTEE


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the following report is respectfully submitted :


TOWN FOREST FOR PURCHASE OF LAND


Balance from 1928,


No payments


$245.00


TOWN FOREST REFORESTING AND IMPROVEMENT


Appropriation,


$1,600.00


Payments :


Secretary,


$50.00


Labor,


965.63


Ploughing Fire Belts,


48.00


Fire Tower,


445.07


All Other,


91.30


Total payments, $1,600.00


Ten thousand four year old white pine trees were plant- ed during the past year; the observatory on fire tower was completed; also most of the fire belts were re- ploughed and otherwise properly cared for. We antici- pate planting twenty thousand more trees this year, which will nearly complete the whole area of forest, as nearly as can be estimated.


Only one fire was reported within the limits of the Town Forest the past year, and that was extinguished without any damage being done.


We recommend an appropriation of $1,500.00 for the ensuing year.

The charges are the amounts used by the Assessors in making the 1929 tax rate. The credits are the amounts actually received in 1929 from the respective sources.

-170-


Schedule I. List of all Trust Funds not including the January 1930 dividends.

The Public Welfare Department appropriation shows an overdraft of $1,201.56 authorized by a vote of the Board of Selectmen, and to be provided for in the 1930 tax levy.


Unpaid bills of the Park Department amounting to $162.93 are reported. This amount also will need to be appropriated.


The Granolithic Sidewalk appropriation shows an un- expended balance of $2,151.57. There are reported the following unpaid bills against this appropriation.


Louis Cotti (Subject to adjustment), $2,091.00 Sampson & Kierstead, 102.00


The Town Treasurer's cash balance was verified at close of business on December 31, and the statements rendered by the Plymouth National Bank and the Old Colony National Bank were reconciled.


Tax Collector and Water Collector held no funds at close of business on December 31.


I would recommend that the policy followed in 1928 and 1929 of appropriating the sum of $30,000 from the Excess and Deficiency Account toward the reduction of the tax levy be continued in 1930.


Respectfully submitted,


ELMER R. HARLOW,


Town Accountant.
