SOME OF THE MANY
REASONS WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE RECORDED.
To establish identity.
To prove nationality.
To prove legitimacy.
To show when the child has the right to enter school.
To show when the child has the right to seek employ- ment under the child labor law.
To establish the right of inheritance to property.
To establish liability to military duty, as well as ex- emption therefrom.
To establish age and citizenship in order to vote.
To qualify to hold title to, and to buy or sell real estate.
To establish the right to hold public office.
To prove the age at which the marriage contract may be entered into.
To prove age to determine validity of a contract entered into by an alleged minor.
To prove age for Old Age Assistance.
To prove age so as to have the right to take Civil Service Examinations.
10
Parents be sure to record the birth of your child with given name in full.
Your co-operation to the end that all births may be prop- erly recorded will be greatly appreciated.
Your attention is called to the provisions of Section 36 and 55 of Chapter 207 of the General Laws relating to mar- riages solemnized out of this state, which are as follows:
"Section 29 of Chapter 151 of the Revised Laws: If a marriage is solemnized in another state between parties liv- ing in this Commonwealth who return to dwell here they shall, within seven days after their return, file with the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which either of them lived at the time of their marriage, a certificate or declaration of their marriage, including the facts relative to marriages, which are required by law, and for neglect thereof shall forfeit ten dollars."
Blanks for the return of all Vital records can be obtained from the Town Clerk.
Attention is called to the fact that all dogs three months old or more must be licensed at the Town Clerk's office on or before April 1, 1942.
I take this opportunity in wishing the Townspeople much prosperity during the year 1942.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT S. COLEMAN,
Town Clerk.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
GENTLEMEN :
I hereby submit my annual report of the work done by the Highway Department during 1941.
CHAPTER 81.
During the year we have surfaced six roads under main- tenance and have rebuilt 2400 feet of road on Washington Street and the approaches on Emerson Street entering the State Road. While rebuilding and widening Washington Street 800 feet of concrete drainage pipe was installed, 5 new catch basins built and 300 feet of open side road drainage dug. On Blackstone Street one-half mile of new construction was done from the home of Louis Tetreault to Lewis Holbrook's house.
5150 yards of gravel and 550 yards of sand and stone were spread on several roads during the construction and road tarring while 12,350 gallons of Tarvia and asphalt were ap- plied.
CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE.
This year our 90 Maintenance surface treatments were given an armor coat of stone to wear longer. 9400 gallons of tar and asphalt were applied to sections of Northbridge Road, North Ave., Millville Street and Providence Road.
North Avenue was widened to 32 feet from the State Road to the High School and resurfaced. 1400 feet of guard rail and cable was erected on Millville Street and 300 feet on the Providence Road.

CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION.
Construction on Hartford Avenue West was started this year. From the intersection with Thornton Street running easterly for a distance of 2500 feet, the road was widened, curves eased, ledge removed and the roadway raised from 18 inches in some sections to 7 feet in others, and a tarvia tack coat applied to hold the road surface until 1942 when the stone surface will be added.
ROAD MACHINERY AND SNOW REMOVAL.
We have purchased an additional 2000 feet of snow fence this year to prevent drifting of snow in some of the open spots on back roads, and also a new V plow to mount on a truck that we may keep all of our roads open in a big storm and not just the main roads in the center of the town. With the shortage of labor and with men working in defense plants 24 hours of the day it is essential that we be equipped to keep all roads open at all times. This plow was purchased with money re- ceived from outside rentals of our own equipment. Our roller and grader were hired this year by Millville, Blackstone, Upton, and Sutton.
SUMMARY.
In publishing last year's Town Report all payrolls show- ing earnings of employees were omitted. However, there was considerable criticism so I have requested the Selectmen to print this year's recapitulation sheet of the Highway depart- ment.
During the course of the year, the State Auditors made their audit of the town's accounts and then at a later date an article appeared in the local paper to the effect that the High- way Department had overdrawn its accounts in excess of $5000. The Town Treasurer, Mr. Gaskill, wrote Mr. Long at the State House for an explanation of this article and re- ceived from him the reply that the State was not as prompt this year as in other years in making their payments to the
33
Town for Highway payrolls and that the Town should borrow to meet the payrolls and not draw from the general fund.
Each Spring contracts are signed by the Selectmen and the State Department of Public Works authorizing certain sums to be spent on the roads for the year. After these con- tracts have been signed and estimates made, the Superinten- dent of Streets is authorized to do the work and spend the money until the total amount is expended, and until such amounts have been spent the Highway Department has not overdrawn its accounts. At the time the article appeared in the paper several thousand dollars was unexpended in the Highway accounts as an examination by the Town Auditor at the time showed.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, I again thank the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of the town for their continued support and co- operation.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT M. DONNELLY, Superintendent of Streets.
