Also Mrs. Pauline Allison has created much interest in the Library among the smaller children by her delightful story hour held every Saturday morning from November to May. The Library owes Mrs. Allison a debt of grati- tude for her time which she has so faithfully and freely given.
During the year the Librarian has explained the use of
98
the Library to the children in several of the upper grades. More intelligent use of the Library has been noticed since the instruction was given.
In May a very interesting exhibit on the Evolution of the Book was displayed in the Reading Room. This exhibit was made by the pupils of Miss Rhoda Harper's seventh grade class at the Riverbend School and showed the thor- oughness in following through of the project.
Of the 1049 books which were added to the Library this past year, 65 were duplicate pay books and 100 were bought with money from the A. Harding Library Fund. Even with this extra help the demand for books so far exceeded the supply that the Seven-Day shelves have been bare on many occasions.
It should be gratifying to the town to know that the Library has been in such constant use this past year.
Again the Librarian wishes to express her appreciation of the co-operation of the Trustees and Staff.

Report of the Superintendent of Athol Cemeteries for the Year 1931
The year of 1931 has been an unusually busy one in the Cemeteries of the Town. Beside the regular routine work of caring for the lawns, flowers, shrubs, trees, roads, etc., we have done a large amount of other work which will contribute to the future usefulness and beauty of the Cemeteries.
Much of this work could not have been done without the help of the men sent us by the Selectmen under the Soldier's Relief Act, and the men from the Welfare Board. I am glad to state that these men with few exceptions have been willing workers.
The usual care has been given the Cemeteries in the outlying districts of the Town.
The fence around the Old Pleasant Street Cemetery for which a special appropriation was made, was erected well within the appropriation.
Chestnut Hill Cemetery has been kept mowed this year for the first time and an attractive flower bed was in continuous bloom all summer.
In the rear of the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery the pines have all been trimmed and the bank cleared of rubbish. The old wooden guard rail removed and stone posts set. At the front was an old receiving tomb which has not been used for a half century. This we have filled in and graded. When the seeding is done in the spring the front of this Cemetery will be much improved.
On the east side of the entrance to Highland Cemetery we have removed the tall shrubs which shut off the view
101
in that direction and have set low growing evergreens. This will improve the appearance and add to the safety of those driving out. At the end of the main drive near the lake, we have removed the large flower beds and sub- stituted a rock garden which when completed will be a real beauty spot.
In an effort to better guard the lots from damage by cars we have all the drives with the single exception of the Main Drive "one way streets," thus doing away with the necessity of cars meeting.
Silver Lake Cemetery has been the scene of our largest activities. There has been a great need for many years for a suitable section which could be devoted to the burials of the remains of the unfortunate. Such a section we have now developed on the north side of the Cemetery. This was done by erecting a retaining wall, two hundred and thirty feet long between the cemetery land and the for- mer Menard property. The bank has been graded to the top of the wall and flowering shrubs set along its crest.
Many trees and shrubs have been moved and set out.
Through co-operation with the Park Department a sur- vey has been made and bounds set more definitely fixing the lines between the Park Department land and ours.
Trust Funds received during the year, 25, amounting to $2,219.50.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMESON L. HALBERT, Superintendent.

Report of the Collector of Taxes
In the many years I have been Collector there has been no year so hard to get taxes as the year 1931. The effects of the depression shows in tax payments as well as in every other line. However, I believe our collections are better than many cities and towns of proportionate size.
I find during 1931 the total collections through the Collector's office was $376,283.89. In 1930 the total col- lection was $363,329.12. It will be seen from the above figures that the 1931 figures exceded that of 1930 despite the decline in business. These conditions hit all alike, the small property owner, the owner of business blocks, the manufacturer, and the poll tax payers.
Another new section was added to the work of the department in 1931 when the State old age assistance tax of $1.00 was levied on all males over 20 years of age. This made much more added work and detail as it all had to be separated. Three thousand three hundred and twenty- five dollars ($3,325) was given us to collect. Here is where we encountered sickness, infirmity, and old age, town dependent and out-of-work cases. Up to January 1, 1932 there is $181 only outstanding of this particular tax. Collections on this and all taxes are continually being made since January 1st.

On the auto excise the third year of its operation the amount fell off from previous years both as to the number of cars, value and tax. The operation of this tax is smoother owing to the last change in the law but it has a lot of detail and takes a clerk most of the time: The revenue received on this auto excise helps in the reduc- tion of property taxes. The following are the figures for the year 1931.

Commissioners' Report
To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Athol:
At the Annual Town Meeting held February second, nineteen hundred and thirty-one, Mr. Frank P. Hall was re-elected a member of the Water Commission for a term of three years.
At a meeting of the Commissioners held February seventh, nineteen hundred and thirty-one, at nine A. M. for the purpose of organizing, Mr. E. Warren Tyler was re-elected Chairman for the ensuing year. Mr. Frank P. Hall was re-elected Clerk and also appointed Superintend- ent for the ensuing year.
During the year the Department has extended its water mains six thousand three hundred and six feet. We have also replaced twelve hundred and seventy-five feet of small size mains, with mains of larger sizes. Fifty-two new services have been added and we have renewed twenty- seven old services during the year.
One hundred and fifty-three meters were installed dur- ing the year, making a total of one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight installed to date.
The hydrant at Island and Marble street has been re- located, four have been replaced and four new hydrants installed during the year.
The interesting feature of our Extension of Mains was the crossing of the Boston and Maine Railroad on the Orange Road. The problem: Crossing the three tracks of the Boston and Maine Railroad with an 8-inch Water Main near the Catholic Cemetery, Orange Road, with the least obstruction of traffic over same, and at the least cost.
111
After careful consideration of several plans, it was decided to push a 36-inch pipe under the tracks, and through this pipe run our 8-inch water pipe. The banks each side of the tracks were about 10 feet higher than the tracks, thus calling for considerable excavating as we wanted to have 5 feet of earth over the 36-inch pipe. A pushing pit was dug and cribbed 10 feet by 18 feet solidly timbered and cribbed with 3-inch plank at each end and 2-inch plank on the sides. This was partly roofed over as a pro- tection to the pushing crew against possible rain, for after once starting to push the pipe, it had to be a continuous push as the heavy trains over the road bed would settle the earth solid about the pipe. The pit was also equipped with Electric Lights with drop cord of sufficient length to light the inside of the tube. A 50-ton jack was loaned to us by the Boston and Maine Railroad Co. The pipe was purchased from the New England Metal Culvert Company which was 36 inches in diameter and 42 feet long. Pushing of the pipe commenced at 11.00 A. M. with a crew of 8 men who worked continuosuly until 7:00 P. M. when a second crew of 9 men took over the job. This crew finished the job of pushing at 5:10 A. M. The time from the starting to push until the finish was 17 hours and 10 minutes. Traffic on the Railroad was not obstructed or even slowed at the point of crossing at any time during the operation. Extra heavy 8-inch iron pipe was used at the crossing with the joints reinforced with heavy split sleeves run with leadite. The cost of installing was $572.55 not including cast iron pipe and sleeve or $13.64 per foot.
Respectfully submitted,
E. WARREN TYLER, W. W. WOODWARD, FRANK P. HALL, Commissioners
