We have issued licenses to dealers selling, buying or trans- porting Methyl Alcohol or Wood Alcohol, so called, or any pre- paration other than Shellac or Varnish.
The garbage collection contract was renewed and collec- tions are made twice a week during the summer months and once a week during the winter months.
Written complaints have been taken care of throughout the year.

It is the feeling of the board that it would be in the best interest of the citizens of the Town of Medfield to voluntarily join the Union Health Department.

MEDFIELD MEMORIAL LIBRARY ANNUAL REPORT 1950
The Library Board of Trustees at their first meeting elected Miss Anne Donlan chairman and Mrs. Dana Jefferson, secre- tary. In the Fall, Mr. Richard Lyman tendered his resignation when he moved to the town of Dover and Mrs. Evelyn Byng was appointed to fill the unexpired term.
The Medfield Memorial Library has approximately ten thousand books. There are 1044 registered borrowers; this is the largest library registration ever recorded for Medfield. The following table shows a comparison of book circulation for the last five years; also the number of new cards issued.

There have been constant requests for recently reviewed and popular books. Among the newest books most often called for in 1950 were: King's Cavalier- Shellabarger; Peabody Sis- ters of Salem-Tharp; The Sea Eagles-Jennings; Strange Tales from Nova Scotia to Cape Hatteras-E. Snow; The Parasites -- Du Maurier; Jubilee Trail-Bristow; I Leap Over the Wall- Baldwin; The Wooden Horse-Williams; Pink House-White; My World is an Island-Ogilvie; The Gentle Infidel-Schoon- over; Mr. Midshipman Hornblower-Forester; Plymouth Ad- venture-Geber; Room for One More-Rose; Circle of the Day- Howe; Another Pamela-Sinclair; Homeward Borne-Chatter- ton; The Town-C. Richter; Legacy- Shute; Red Bone Woman- Tillery; John Adams-Bowen; Yankee Boyhood-Gould; A Guide to Confident Living-Peale; Anybody Can Do Anything- MacDonald; White Witch Doctor-Stinetorf; Look Younger, Live Longer-Hauser; Christmas Without Johnny-Carroll; The Newell Post-Fish; Son of a Hundred Kings-Costain; Joy Street-Keyes; My Neck of the Woods-Rich, and New York Holiday-Early.
There was special interest shown in books on art, including painting in oils, watercolor and pastels; and books on useful arts, such as rug making, wood carving, stamp collecting; also books on recognizing and preserving antiques; and on carpen- try and building. Eighty-five non-fiction books were borrowed from our state library. Small libraries no not own too many books on specialized study, but can borrow them on an inter- library loan through the state library.
Miss Alice Cahill, general secretary of the Division of Public Libraries, visited Medfield this summer and gave her expert advice and help in withdrawing from our shelves out- dated and obsolete literature.
To emphasize Book Week, new books for children were displayed for circulation and an art exhibit for adults with a display of art books was arranged. Paintings by residents of Medfield were placed around the reading room and visitors to the library during this week expressed surprised pleasure over the number of artists and the excellent quality of the work. We hope to have a similar exhibit next year.
[ 74 ]
Our annual Children's Story Hour from eleven to twelve o'clock during one week of the summer was again well attended. Stories were told and read and albums of music records were played. We wish to express our thanks to Mrs. Edward Hellier, Mrs. Henry Young and Mrs. Robert Peters for their help with this project.
The library has exchanged, on a loan basis, sixty mystery and western novels with the Canton Public Library again this year. This practice enriches the choice of light reading without cost. We wish to express appreciation to Miss Margaret Doody, Canton Librarian, for her part in furthering this exchange.
-
1950 has been a record year for receiving gifts of books. These gift books are helping us to build up a fine library. We are acquiring a recommended group of books on various sub- jects. The authors of classics, especially, have begun to be well represented. Books which are not used here are sent to the American Merchant Marine Library Association and to our local schools if recommended for student reading. We wish to express our appreciation to the following people who have kept their library in mind when disposing of good books: Miss Dorothy Gardner, Mrs. Mary Flagg, Mr. Henry Shattuck, Dover, Mass., Mr. Joseph Marcionette, Mr. Augustus Thorndike, Jr., Miss Christine Godsey, Mrs. Florence Yeo, Mrs. Edward Lom- bard, Mrs. Henry Young, Mrs. James White, Mrs. Evelyn Byng, Mrs. Woelfle, Mrs. C. F. Woodard, Mrs. Sybil Ashe, Miss Edith Jewell, Mr. Pliny Jewell, Mrs. Edmund M. Pease, The Hannah Adams Club, Mr. J. Bowker Lewis, Mrs. Herbert Wil- kins, Mrs. Laura Carlson, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lyman, Dr. A. William Reggio, Mr. A. L. Clark, Mrs. Lindsey Ripley, Miss Laura Smith, Mrs. Thomas Clancy, and Miss Hope Day.
The Library Board of Trustees asks that the 1950 fines amounting to $218.35, the 1950 Dog Tax and the sum of $1200 be appropriated to the library department.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
Following are the statistics of the cases handled by the Board of Public Welfare during the year 1950:
1. Old Age Assistance:
On January 1, 1950 there were fifty-five cases. During the year thirteen new cases were added. Of these thirteen new cases, six were Medfield settled, five were unsettled and two were other than Medfield settled. During the year three cases were closed by death, six were transferred to other towns, one moved out of State and one was closed on account of change in economic circumstances.
As of December 31, 1950 there are fifty-seven persons re- ceiving Old Age Assistance.
2. Aid to Dependent Children:
On January 1, 1950 there were four cases. During the year two cases were transferred to other towns. As of December 31, 1950 there are two cases receiving Aid to Dependent Children.
3. General Relief:
On January 1, 1950 there were five cases. During the year two cases were added, one of these being Unsettled. Two.
[ 81 ]
cases were closed during the year, one on account of ob- taining work and the other on account of change in economic circumstances.
As of December 31, 1950 there are five cases receiving General Relief.
The Federal regulations issued July 1, 1949 have been carried out as follows:
On January 3, 1950, the Board of Public Welfare moved into separate quarters at the Town Office, where all vital records are kept. These quarters are temporary, until reno- vations on the former American Legion Room are completed, at which time we will move into our permanent quarters.
On January 10, 1950, Mrs. Doris M. Carr of Norfolk was appointed as Agent, having been certified by the Massachu- setts Civil Service Division. Mrs. Carr started her duties as Agent on January 16, 1950.
At this time, all of our recipients were notified of this appointment, and were informed that the Office would be opened on Friday afternoons from 1.00 to 4.00 P.M. beginning February 1, 1950.
On October 1, 1950 there were two major amendments made by the Old Age and Survivors Insurance Program as follows:
1. A new benefit formula under which increased benefits were granted to all persons currently in receipt of Old Age and Survivors Insurance.
2. An amendment rendering eligible for benefits for the first time a number of persons who did not have sufficient quarters of covered employment under the old require- ments.
On account of the above amendments all our budgets were reviewed, and as a result of this increase in benefits, sixteen of our recipients received additional amounts under Old Age and Survivors Insurance. To comply with this added resource, their State Standard budgets were decreased. One case was closed as a result of increased benefits from Old Age and Survivors Insurance.
Referrals were sent on all recipients having a Social Security number, but who were not eligible for benefits under the old requirements, and when information is received from the District Office, their budgets will be adjusted accordingly.
On Tuesday, November 7, 1950 Question No. 3 on the Official Ballot at the State Election was approved. The sum-
[82 ]
mary of this Question provided for minimum payments of seventy-five dollars per month, or eighty-five dollars per month if blind, as assistance to deserving aged persons who have reached the age of sixty-three years, or over, and are in need of relief and support. This also included aliens, as well as citizens of the United States. Children of recipients, also, would be no longer required to contribute to the support of their parents.
Question No. 4, which was a measure for the creation of a monthly lottery drawing to raise additional funds for financing Question No. 3 was defeated and not approved.
Therefore, if Question No. 3 should become a law, effective during June 1951, it is very probable that this Board will have to ask for substantial additional funds for Old Age Assistance.

REPORT OF THE SEWER DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Two new houses were connected to the existing sewer system in 1950.
The system was given its usual care in 1950 in order to keep it in efficient condition. Some additional work was done in levelling up with gravel those sewer beds which suffer from un- even settlement and about the same amount should be done next year, and in addition one old bed should be partially ex- cavated in preparation for future renewal.
The new extension on Adams Street, to make the public sewers available to new residences on that street as well as to the new school, was completed in December except for repaving which will be done by the Highway Department in 1951. One. new residence is already connected to this sewer. The final estimated cost of this project is only about $5.67 per foot as against the preliminary estimate of $10.00 per foot.
We now believe that other desirable sewer projects, such as the proposed extension on Main Street to the vicinity of Pound Street and the extension on North Street from Dale Street to and up Summer Street and Pine Street, which were previously estimated at $10.00 per foot could now be done for considerably less, resulting in assessments in the vicinity of $2.00 per front foot. The nature of the soil in both these areas has led to some trouble with cesspools and septic tanks, and we feel that extensions of the public system to these more densely populated sections should be considered for the near future in the interests of Public Health.
For proper care of the sewer system in 1951, we ask for an appropriation of $1,500.00.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Our report for the year ending December 31, 1950 is as follows:
There was a considerable increase in number of water
[ 86 ]
takers and in consumption of water, and we anticipate a continued increase in 1951 as indicated by the following:

Total Expenditures $13,547.24
$14,436.36
$14,750.00
The cost of meters, pipe and other materials is again on the rise which will prevent us from showing any material in- crease in the Net Income for 1951. It should be pointed out that from $2,000 to $3,000 of our recent yearly expenditures is in the nature of capital outlay for new meters and services from which we will derive increased revenue in the future.
An additional two hundred feet of eight-inch water main in Adams Street to serve five new water takers, as well as the new school, was completed during the year except for repav- ing which will be done by the Highway Department in 1951.
The Water Department truck is now eleven years old and has run about 55,000 miles. It has become increasingly expen- sive to maintain. Needed replacement of major parts is almost impossible due to lack of supply. We therefore ask the Town for an appropriation to purchase a new truck of similar but more modern design.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Medfield:
The School Committee for 1950 was organized as follows:
Mr. Leon M. Bowden, Chairman; Mr. John J. Lyons, Re- cording Secretary; Mr. Ralph C. Benedict, Financial Secretary.
Regular committee meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7:30 P. M. in the high school.
Mr. Peter Ingeneri terminated his service to accept a posi- tion in the Boston School Department. We appreciate the efforts rendered by him for the youth of Medfield both in and out of classroom. We wish him success in his new endeavor.
Mrs. Dorothy Brown replaced Mr. Paul Mason who resigned as Supervising Principal of the Elementary School. Many pro- gressive ideas have been instigated since September.
The committee approved of a course, under the direction of Mr. Edward Conroy, an instructor at the Squantum Air Base, on the link trainer which is located in the basement of the high school.
The athletic field was dedicated to the memory of the War Veterans of all wars at the opening of the football season with Millis. The committee is planning to use this field for all out- side athletic events in the future.
The School Committee made arrangements for the award of sweaters to the students who participated in the athletic program.
