In Memoriam
It is fitting that we, who live to enjoy the fruits and liberties for which they fought and died, dedicate to them this 278th Annual Report. May we not forget the cause for which they died. May we with diligence root out the ignorance and self-complacency that brought about the present holocaust. And may we learn the les- sons of cooperation and goodwill, that they shall not have died in vain.

Parents and others are requested to carefully examine the above lists and if any errors or omissions are discovered report them at once to the town clerk, that the record may be corrected, as it is of importance that the records of Vital Statistics should be complete. Herewith are extracts from the General Laws, Chapter 46.
GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 46, SECTION 3.
(As Amended by Chapter 281, Section 1, Acts of 1925).
Every physician, or hospital medical officer registered under section nine of chapter one hundred and twelve, in this chapter called officer, shall keep a record of the birth of every child in cases of which he was in charge, showing date and place of birth, the name, if any, of the child, its sex and color, the name, age, birthplace, occupation and residence (including the street number, if any, and the ward number, if in a city) of each parent, the maiden name of the mother and the name of the physician or officer, if any, personally attending the birth. If the child is illegitimate, the name of, and other facts relating to the father shall not be set forth except upon written request of both the father and mother; provided, that if an illegitimate child shall have be- come legitimate by the intermarriage of his parents and the acknowledgment of his father, as provided in section seven of chapter one hundred and ninety, prior to the mailing or delivery of any report herein required, such report shall read, in all respects, as if such child had been born to such parents in lawful wedlock. Said physician or officer shall, within fifteen days after such birth, mail or deliver to the clerk or registrar of the town where such birth occurred, a report stating the facts hereinabove required to be shown on said record and also the said written request, if any; provided, that if said report is not so made within forty-eight hours after such birth, said physician or officer shall, within said forty-eight hours, mail or deliver to said clerk or registrar
12
a notice stating the date and place of the birth, the street number, if any, the ward number, if in a city, and the family name. Upon presentation to him of a certificate of the town clerk stating that any such birth has been duly reported, the town treasurer shall pay to such physician or officer a fee of twenty-five cents for each birth so reported. Any physician or any such officer violating any provision of this section shall forfeit not more than twenty-five dollars. The said town clerk or registrar shall file daily with the local board of health a list of all births reported to him, showing, as to each, the date of birth, sex, color, family name, residence, ward and physician or officer in charge.
GENERAL LAWS, CHAPTER 46, SECTION 6.
Parents, within forty days after the birth of a child,. and every householder, within forty days after a birth in his house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town where such child is born * *
Blanks may be obtained upon application to the town clerk.
NOTICE
-
SOME OF THE MANY
REASONS WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE RECORDED.

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
14
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.
I take this opportunity in wishing the Townspeople peace and prosperity during the year 1945.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The past year has seen the Town of Mendon substantially better its financial condition. At the end of 1943, the Town for the first time in many years emerged with a slightly larg- er amount of assets over liabilities,-$1,512.99. During the past year, the trend has continued, and the assets have been increased in 1944 by about $13,000 over the liabilities. For the first time in over thirty years there has been enough cash in the treasury so that borrowing in anticipation of revenue was not necessary. And at the end of 1944, more than twice as much money was in the treasury than at the end of 1943; so that it would seem unlikely that it would be necessary to borrow in anticipation of revenue in 1945. In this connection, a bouquet goes to our efficient tax collector; for no outstand- ing taxes of 1943 are on the books, and ninety percent of the 1944 taxes are in. Our financial condition is far better than at the end of 1940, when Mendon enjoyed (?) the lowest cash balance and funds available of any town in the State between 450 and 2000 population.
It would be well for the Town to continue building up this financial surplus, rather than try to reduce the taxes with free cash at this time. For no one knows to what extent our financial condition may be strained if there is a general slack- ening off of work in industrial plants during a readjustment period from war to peace. Several towns in the State have sufficient free cash to enable them to operate normally for two and three years without collecting any taxes.
One matter which should be seriously considered is our present accounting system. With our present system, the books are closed at the end of each year, and there is nothing to indicate any debit balances due the Town, or to check upon
22
whether or not bills due the Town are paid during the ensuing year. It is for this reason that, appearing in the State Auditor's report, there are a few overdrafts and unpaid bills due the Town that must be adjusted at the next Town meet- ing. 300 of the 350 towns of the State are using the State- approved form of accounting system. Mendon is not one of them. The State system would prevent loose ends in account- ing; and due to the increasing complexity of the Town busi- ness, we recommend the State system for your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
D. VICTOR SMITH, Chairman, ROY A. BARROWS, SILAS H. DUDLEY, Board of Selectmen.
