ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF TOWN HISTORIAN
To the Townspeople of Dighton:
This year I have confined my reading of town meeting records to those of Dighton and Wellington during the period of division, 1814 to 1826, and the ten years following their reunion. I have found them enlightening.
The records of 1814 show plainly the dismay of tiny Dighton as the people faced the expense of carrying on town affairs without a town meeting house, with half of the care of the poor of both towns, with the least valuable of the two fishing privileges that had been sold yearly by the former town, and with two selectmen, necessarily inexperienced, to be elected.
As the twelve years passed, the records of Wellington hint the growing exasperation of the inhabitants, as they, too, found their officers inexperienced and their expenses height- ened.
Yet in both we realize that a great change in living and thinking was then beginning. The poor were still auctioned off, in public town meeting, to those people who would feed, clothe, and shelter them for the smallest amount, to be paid by the town.
But rules were now laid down as to their care and treatment, and articles of indenture stated that poor children must be taught to read and write, and that boys must also be taught to figure the rule of three.
For the first time, in both Dighton and Wellington, a visiting school committee was elected, usually composed of ministers, whose sole duty was improvement in instruction in the many district schools-sixteen at one time.
Early in this period the town meeting ordered that hogs should no longer graze on the common land, and later horned cattle were confined in pastures.
65
ANNUAL REPORT
In the years when shipbuilding and trade were at a peak, a gradual refining of social relations evidently accompanied a softening of the harsh living conditions of the post-Revolu- tionary period.
Old account books as well as town records have also given valuable information. Store account books kept by William Phillips and Joseph Atwood, loaned me by Russell Phillips and Mrs. Charles Staples have proved very worth while.
I would welcome others.
Respectfully submitted, HELEN H. LANE, Town Historian
REPORT OF THE SHADE TREE COMMITTEE
There were forty maple and ten pin oak trees planted in 1959 by the town workmen, supervised by the tree warden.
All trees that have been planted to date have been in- spected by the chairman and found in good condition.
We recommend that the project be continued in 1960. We also recommend that all trees set to date be fertilized this spring .
We suggest that a notice be sent to local papers by March 15 asking for names of applicants for trees, and that a list be kept for future use.
Respectfully submitted,
.¿

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SANITATION INSPECTOR
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen:
A total of 85 building permits were certified by the Inspector for the year ending December 31, 1959, in accordance with the Town's Building Permit By-Law enacted by the Town Meeting on March 9, 1959 and effected by the Attorney General on March 30, 1959.
Of this number 25 were for new residential construction, 7 for other new construction and 55 of the 85 processed re- quired sanitation inspection. In most cases two visits were required to satisfy the installation and three visits were neces- sary on several.
On the whole, citizens have cooperated and conformed with regulations very well; however, a better result could be obtained if the applicants would file applications at least 7 days in advance of time to commence the installation. Many times revision of plans have had to be made at the location and this is not good. Generally speaking, the installations have been good and the following is recommended for your consideration :
1. The Board appoint a state certified sanitation inspec- tor for all future installations.
2. All builders and contractors be advised to include in new construction plans, provision for separation of waste waters and sewerage.
3. Septic tanks be recommended as desirable for installa- tion in the Town.
4. More conformity with the requirements of the recently enacted State Sanitation Code.
Respectfully submitted, CLAYTON H. ATWOOD, Sanitation Inspector

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE PLAYGROUND COMMISSIONERS
The Little League ball field was made ready for use by grading off the diamond, installing a 36" x 400' wooden fence to separate the field from the playground area, and relocating the chain link gate way. A section of chain link fence was installed at the west end of the south playground. Two castle towers were installed, one at each playground. This work com- pleted the purchasing and installing of new equipment for the present. Since the beginning of the playground department four years ago, new equipment has been added each year to make the playgrounds suitable for our needs. We wish to thank the citizens for their cooperation in helping us accom- plish this.
One of the outstanding events on the program this year was the baseball outing on Children's Day at Fenway Park, which the supervisors say was attended over 100%. We thank the supervisors for the splendid work they did in holding varied and interesting programs during the summer months. We also thank Mr. Charles Gilbert, our maintenance man, for his cooperation and helpfulness.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD D. ANTUNES, Chairman DAVID HORTON NORMAN COURCY
