SEWER DEPARTMENT
Sewer Beds
We have followed the regular routine of keeping the weeds, grass and dry sewage raked up, carted off and the surface cleaned, raked, harrowed and smoothed as the beds dry out, but, on account of our appropriation request having been reduced by five hundred dollars, we could not cart on any new gravel to fill the low spots and bring all the beds up to the proper and original level, which is badly needed as our beds are rather small for the amount of sewage they are obliged to treat and therefore should be kept in the best possible working condition. The quantity of sewage flowing on to the beds in winter is several times greater than in summer-showing that ground water is entering the trunk lines somewhere, probably through im- properly made joints, which we have not yet been able to locate. We suspect some of them are quite likely to be in Frairy Street alongside the pond, where the manholes are so far apart we have not been able to make proper tests. Often in winter a bed will fill in one day while the same bed in summer would last a week
The thick sludge which accumulates on the surface in the
-
60
collecting well is carted off and buried every two weeks, which prevents nearly all excepting the liquid sewage from going out to the beds, thus reducing very largely the bad odors that were common a few years ago.
Sanitary Sewers
We cleaned out all the trunk lines as far as the point in Frairy Street, where the line turns to go under the railroad and through the fields to the sewer beds.
In several places we were just ahead of a complete stoppage where the lines were filling with sewage and heavy materials.
There were several cases of particular or house sewers filling up, the clearing of which the property owner is obliged to pay for.
We could not handle these through the Town Accounting System as our appropriation was too small and the money when turned in to the Town Treasurer cannot be credited to the Sewer Department.
In future this should be provided for in the appropriation, as it is in other towns, and the law provides that the work shall be done, at cost, by the Sewer Department, for the property owner. In nearly all cases the cause proved to be tree roots which had gone into the pipes through improperly made cement joints.
For sewer lines now we use only deep-socket pipe and fill the joints with a compound which is melted and poured hot, thus making a perfectly tight joint.
In order to properly care for the sewer beds, trunk lines and house sewers there should be an appropriation of sixteen hundred dollars (1,600.00).

LIBRARY REPORT
To the Board of Selectmen, the Trustees of the Library respectfully submit this report:
In the early part of the year we were unfortunate in losing through death an honored member of the Board, in whose memory, the following resolutions were prepared :
Resolutions: "In the death of our fellow-trustee, Rev. Manly B. Townsend, the Library has lost an earnest, cultured well- wisher, the trustees' an able advisor, and the Town a citizen interested and energetic in all things tending to the Town's welfare and its inhabitants.
So long as the trustees live they will all remember the Rev. Mr. Townsend with deepest sympathy and regret."
It is with much satisfaction that we report for 1926 the most successful year in the existence of the Library. The circulation has been far in excess of previous years, showing an increase of 2492 over last year exclusive of magazines which is large. The pupils of the schools are using the Library more and more for research work; and the patrons in general are reading more non-fiction than ever before.
We subscribe to about thirty magazines and have several gifts, so that there are on the tables, periodicals, numbering nearly forty.
There have been added 273 books-non-fiction 66, juvenile 102, fiction 105. -
Circulation 13,379.
Our thanks are due Mr. Granville F. Dailey for having the tree on the library lot removed; to Dr. and Mrs. Leoffler for collection of fourteen books on music; to Rev. Harold L. Pickett for eight books; and to those who have presented other books and magazines.
65
The Library has presented to the school library a duplicate set of "Nature Library" in ten volumes.
The building has been improved by a coat of paint both inside and out. During the time the work was in progress on the interior it was necessary to close the library for a few days.
In order that the Library may be kept up to its present state of efficiency, it will be necessary to have an appropriation of $1,750.00, which includes the dog taxes.

Secretary.

To the Voters of Medfield:
You will notice that the $3,000 for the Snow-plow was not borrowed. The bill for this was not due until after Jan. 1. By that time we had re- ceived an unexpected disbursement of $2,150 from the State, and it was evident that there would be enough cash in the Treasury, with the help of this $2,150, to pay for the Snow-plow without borrowing and still have enough money in the Treasury to carry the Town until the annual meeting.
If this meets with your approval it would seem best to clear the town records by rescinding the vote authorizing the Treasurer to borrow $3,000 for the Snow-plow, and an article to that effect is in the warrant for the annual Town Meeting.
