ANNUAL REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen :
The Board of Fire Engineers respectfully submit the report of the Fire Department for the year ending De- cember 31, 1936.
The apparatus consists of three pieces as follows: One Seagram pump, one Reo pump and one Ford Forest Fire- truck. The apparatus is in good mechanical condition with the exception of the Reo pump which is fourteen years old. The hose truck was disposed of to the Moth Depart- ment which is able to put it to a good use.
Hose
There is at present 2400 feet of 21/2 inch hose in the department ; also 800 feet of 11/2 inch hose. A purchase of 300 feet of 21/2 inch hose was made this year.
Fire Loss
Fire prevention work is again encouraged by the low fire loss of the past year which was on buildings and contents. The insurance paid on buildings was $1769 and on contents. $460. The insurance paid on automobiles was $775. There was an explosion loss of $625.25 not covered by insurance.
Recommendations
The Board recommends an appropriation of $3000 for the year 1937.
152
Summary for the Year
The total alarms for the year was 84, of which 33 were whistle and 51 were still. We had 5 out-of-town calls as follows : Dover, Millis and Walpole.

On the night before the Fourth of July we had 10 calls and on Hallowe'en we also had 10 calls, all of which were unnecessary fires.
This year there were 15 fires caused by railroad engines which were the first we have had for several years.
There was 50,170 gallons of water used, 31,995 from hydrants, 16,095 from booster tanks, 640 gallons from pump cans and 1,440 gallons from other sources.
There was 4800 feet of 21/2 inch hose used, 3,550 feet of 11/2 inch hose and 390 feet of ladders raised.
There was 107 acres of grass and woodland burned over at a loss of approximately $12.
The Engineers wish to thank the townspeople and mem- bers of the Fire Department for their cooperation.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The Board of Public Welfare and Bureau of Old Age Assistance was organized in March with George Sauer, Chairman ; Mary Smith, Clerk ; and Charles Bryant.
A short time later the commodity distribution was taken over by the Commissary at Framingham, leaving more time for relief work. Investigations were made on all new cases applying for aid. Although aid costs were kept down as much as possible, the steadily diminishing number of W. P. A. workers and the impossibility of placing addi- tional men on projects during the last months of the year resulted in a steady increase in the amount of aid requested.
Two families, eleven children in all, were given Mothers' Aid in order that we might receive the Federal reimburse- ment of part of the cost, which started in November. This, with the State reimbursement, makes the cost to the Town very low.
In March there were nineteen persons receiving Old Age Assistance. This number had increased to twenty-three in August. The lowering of the age limit to sixty-five years on September 1st resulted in many more applications, so that on December 31st there were thirty-eight persons receiving Old Age Assistance. Federal and State reim- bursement was received on these cases, so the cost to the Town was kept within the limits of the appropriation even though the number had doubled.
154
There is need of a project under the Board of Public Welfare where persons able to work could be employed while receiving temporary aid. This could be in the form of building sewer beds, clearing roadsides, or any work on public buildings or roads which would be of benefit to the town.
The death of Charles Bryant deprived the Board of a very active and useful member. George O'Hare was appointed in December to fill the unexpired term.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE H. SAUER, MARY H. SMITH, GEORGE M. O'HARE,
Board of Public Welfare.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
The usual routine work has been carried on in the Vine Lake Cemetery as has been done in previous years.
A new section should be added at once as we have very few lots for sale.
A new fence is very much needed for enclosing the entire cemetery.
We therefore recommend an appropriation of $2500. and the money received from the "Sale of Lots Fund."
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH A. ROBERTS, PETER PEDERZINI, JOHN R. MILLER,
Cemetery Commissioners.

REPORT OF THE WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
Water Department
During the year we have added ten new water takers, making a total of 364 meters in use.
The hydrants have been painted this year and are now in first-class condition.
The water main in Green Street should be extended 250 feet to accommodate two houses now without water.
In July we wrote the Department of Mental Diseases about reducing the water rates paid by the Town to the State but as yet have not received a reply from them.
For the general maintenance of the Water Department, we are asking for an appropriation of $6750.
The following is a table of water used and amount paid for same for the year 1936.

Sewer Department
The Sewer beds have been kept free of weeds this year and were raked and cleaned as required.
The collecting well cover was repaired and is in a safe condition now to walk onto.
All the manhole covers were raised to the road level and left in good shape.
We have had several stoppages in the Sanitary Sewers caused by tree roots entering the trunk lines and these have been broken out as best as we could without digging up the line.
In order to carry on this work and keep the beds in a sanitary condition, we are asking for an appropriation of $1000.
