It seems obvious that if the State funds run low the State will either increase its tax on the Town or decrease what it pays to the Town. Therefore we may some day face the problem of increasing our tax burden from $968,472.55 to $1,557,823.19 or of decreasing the running expenses of the Town from $1,557,823.19 to $968,472.55 and even that does not allow for capital expenditures for equipment and improvements.
Respectfully submitted,
ALLEN D. RUSSELL,
Chairman.

ANNUAL NURSING SERVICE REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY NURSE ASSOCIATION
1947 - 1948
The total number of visits made by the nurses during the year October 1, 1947 through September 30, 1948 was 3,543-an increase of 480 visits over those made the pre- vious year. 3,307 of these were to patients requiring actual nursing care, that is general bedside care, treatments, surgical dressings and the administration of hypodermic medications. Of the remaining 236 visits, 12 were for follow-up and supervision of muscle training of crippled children, 2 for tuberculosis, 75 for infant and preschool health service, 14 for adult health supervision and 37 to patients not requiring nursing service or not found at home. Assistance was given at 3 home deliveries, a de- crease from last year, with 30 visits for prenatal care and instruction and 60 visits for after care of the mother and baby. These were to mothers who had hospital de- liveries as well as to those having home deliveries. 568 visits were made to patients in Kingston, slightly more than 16 per cent of the total number of visits.
Nursing care to patients receiving welfare and Old Age Assistance totalled 854 visits, an increase of 85 visits over last year.
Of the total number of visits, 1062 were full pay, 533 part pay, 1410 free and 59 supervisory. The association was reimbursed for 277 visits to policy holders in the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and 202 in the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company.
15 Well Child Conferences were held with an attend- ance of 210 infants and preschool children. Several con-
-177-
ferences scheduled had to be cancelled this past year due to the prevalence of communicable diseases in the com- munity and due to the stormy winter weather. We are fortunate in having Dr. Dorothea Moore continue as our examining pediatrician as she has had to give up some of her other Well Child Conferences held in this part of the State due to the increasing demands of her practice.
As in former years, assistance was given by the nurses to the Board of Health for the Diphtheria Immunization Clinics held in the spring. Also, the nurses assisted one day at the Blood Bank.
Part-time nursing assistance was provided for the staff by Mrs. Christine Darsch, practical nurse, during the busy fall and winter months last year. Mrs. Katherine Cappella and Mrs. Marion Hedge assisted the nurses for vacation relief this summer. Also, the nurses are being assisted by Mrs. Dorothea Pacheco doing part-time sec- retarial work and Miss Margaret Osmond taking calls during the afternoon office hour.
During the past year most of the nurses' time was spent in making visits to sick patients and very little time spent on health education services. This we realize is not an ideal allotment of time. Our greatest difficulty seems to be due to lack of transportation facilities and the long distances to be travelled between patients. We hope that in the coming year this situation will be rem- edied so that we can provide more health education services to the community.

THANKSGIVING PROGRAM
December 8, 1948
Board of Selectmen Plymouth, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The following is a report of the telecasting and filming of the re-enactment of the First Thanksgiving which took place at the Morton Property at Little Pond on Sunday, November 14th.
Prior to that date I had solicited your moral support in the proposal and by such use of the program being in the interests of the Board of Selectmen, I was able to get the cast and carry out the plan as wanted by the Dekko Film Company of Boston.
At that time, also, I knew that the film company would pay for the purchasing of two turkeys and you assured me that if there was any other expense that town money was available.
Accordingly, I went ahead with the arranging of the program with great success.
Mrs. Mercy Barnes and Mrs. Norman Holmes lined up the Pilgrim cast; the Red Men furnished the Indians in costume; and Rose Briggs and Mrs. Harold Bruce pro- vided the costumes and other properties.
Through the co-operation of Elmer Chandler and the volunteered efforts of Peleg Chandler the trucking of all necessary properties was cared for.
The day before the re-enactment, Clyfton Wood and his park department crew went up to the woods and cleared away some heavy underbrush.
-179-
I arranged with the Bus Company to take the entire cast from the Baptist Church to the setting in the woods and purchased 75 sandwiches for them to eat as all of them had just come from Sunday church and did not have a chance to have their meal.
The cameramen were highly pleased and the night before Thanksgiving Day, over WNAC Television, the program was televised from 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. It was highly successful.
On Thanksgiving Day, the re-enactment was televised through 42 foreign countries with the name of Plymouth, Mass. being used frequently by the telecast commentator.
The cost of providing the cast, transportation, scenery, and foodstuffs for filming the entire re-enactment is listed as follows:
Dressed turkey, 23 lbs. @ 63ยข
$14.49
Undressed Turkey, 16 lbs.
11.00
Clams (one peck)
3.20
Squash (25 lbs.)
2.00
Onions
.35
Apples
1.10
Chestnuts
.80
3 Cooked Lobsters
5.25
75 Sandwiches
17.50
Bus for transportation (3 hrs.)
10.00
$65.69
Before weighing upon your pleasure for available funds to pay this amount or some part of it, I forwarded the complete bill as of above to the Dekko Film Company in Boston and am pleased to report that today I received a check from that company in the full amount.
Sincerely,
WALTER B. HASKELL

REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF PLYMOUTH
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS
State House, Boston 33
June 23, 1948
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. James T. Frazier, Chairman
Plymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Plymouth for the period from January 1, 1947 to May 1, 1948, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
FRANCIS X. LANG,
Director of Accounts.
-181-
Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Plymouth for the period from January 1, 1947 to May 1, 1948, the following report being submitted thereon:
An examination and verification was made of the re- corded financial transactions of the Town as shown on the books of the several departments receiving or dis- bursing money for the Town or committing bills for col- lection.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked with the treasurer's books and with the records of the several departments collecting money for the Town. The appropriations as entered in the ledgers were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings, while the transfers from the reserve fund were checked with the finance com- mittee's authorizations on file in the town accountant's office.
The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condi- tion of the Town on May 1, 1948. This balance sheet in- dicates that the Town is in excellent financial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and compared with the records of the several departments collecting money for the Town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town
-182-
treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The cash book additions were verified, and the cash balance on May 1, 1948 was proved by verification of cash and cash memoranda in the office and by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The payments made on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The transactions of the several trust, investment and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were verified, and the securities and savings bank books representing the investment of these funds were per- sonally examined and listed.
The treasurer's record of tax titles held by the Town was examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions were verified, and the tax titles on hand were listed. The tax title transac- tions were further verified by comparison with the rec- ords at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subse- quent commitments were audited and proved to the war- rants issued for their collection. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the town accountant's books; the abatements, as re- corded, were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted; the transfers to the tax title account were proved; and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.
-183-
It was noted that the assessors failed to commit a poll tax list for 1948 to the collector of taxes, the assessors' list having been used by him for the purpose of billing the 1948 poll taxes. Attention in this connection is called to Section 53, Chapter 59, General Laws, which reads, in part, as follows:
"The assessors shall, within a reasonable time, commit the tax list with their warrant to the collector of taxes .. . "
The records of departmental and water accounts re- ceivable were examined and checked in detail. The col- lections were checked with the payments to the treas- urer and with the accountant's records; the abatements, as recorded, were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant them; and the outstand- ing accounts were listed and reconciled with the ac- countant's ledger.
The outstanding tax, departmental, and water accounts were verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the Town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The financial accounts of the town clerk were examined and checked. The recorded receipts from dog and sporting licenses, as well as from miscellaneous fees, were exam- ined and checked. The payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified, and the cash on hand on May 1, 1948 was proved by actual count.
The surety bonds of the various town officials required by law to file them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The financial accounts of the board of selectmen, of the
-- 184-
sealer of weights and measures, of the police, health, school and' park departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the Town or commit- ting bills for collection, were checked with the treasurer's and accountant's books.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treas- urer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, departmental, and water accounts as well as tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust in- vestment and retirement funds.
During the progress of the audit, co-operation was ex- tended by the various town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appre- ciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE,
Assistant Director of Accounts.

THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
For the year ending December 31, 1948
To the Board of Selectmen Town of Plymouth
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith report of the financial transactions of the Town of Plymouth for the year ending December 31, 1948.
There were no overdrafts and no unpaid bills were reported to this department.
It was necessary to borrow $100,000.00 the end of May and $150,000.00 the first of July on temporary tax notes. Had it been possible to get the tax bills out on time, the second borrowing might not have been necessary. How- ever, these notes were easily met when due.
The cash balance at the end of the year was about $360,000.00, some $118,000.00 less than a year ago. How- ever, the Excess and Deficiency Account at the end of the year was over $342,000.00, which is $12,000.00 more than last year, despite the fact that $140,000.00 was appropri- ated from it during the year.
