REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
December 31, 1954
To the Selectmen of Mendon :
Gentlemen :
The Fire Department answered 17 alarms in 1954 with an estimated loss of $14,200.
1 Barn Fire
6 Chimney Fires
1 Log Cabin Fire
2 Auto Fires
1 Shack Fire
1 Tar Truck Fire
1 Garage Fire 4 Oil Burner Fires
Eight calls for the Resuscitator.
Two calls to pump out wells.
Four calls to pump out cellars after hurricane Edna and two calls for the Generator.
The Firemen held an Auction in June and made a good sum of money which was spent to put on a parade and entertainment the night before the Fourth.
The Firemen decorated the Station at Christmas and with the Grange lighted the tree on Founders Park.
New lights were installed in the upper Fire Station and the cinder blocks downstairs were covered with ce- ment plaster.
75
The Forest Fire Department answered 28 alarms in 1954, burning over 13 acres of grass land and 8 acres of brush land. Many of these fires were small, only 2 were over one acre fires.
This, being my last report as Fire Chief of the Town of Mendon, may I take the opportunity to thank the Selectmen both present and past, as well as the Towns- people for all the cooperation, guidance and assistance given me, and also the Firemen who have served faith- fully through the years to make the Fire Department what it is today.
Respectfully submitted, HAROLD F. LOWELL, Fire Chief and Forest Warden.

I herewith submit my annual report of the Police Department for the year ending December 31, 1954.
This past year the automobile accidents have de- creased from forty-seven to forty-four, approximately 9%. I feel that this was due to the extensive patrolling of our highways as recommended by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, Rudolph F. King. The patrolling this year started May first and continued until October thirty- first. Another factor to be taken into consideration is that there were 60,000 more vehicles registered in Mass- achusetts in 1954 than in 1953.
The patrolling this year consisted of the man at the station who donated his time from seven to nine P.M., to go on the road until midnight on weekdays. He would cover approximately the entire town and would check all doors on the business establishments. There are fifty-
78
nine doors to be checked each night and there were nine- teen found unlocked during the summer.
On weekends, the officer on patrol duty, would be on until 1 A.M. and I feel that this patrolling tended to reduce the petty larceny where breaking and entering cases might be committed.
This year, this department received for the Town of Mendon, a special award from the Governor's High- way Safety Conference. This award was presented to the Town of Mendon in recognition of outstanding high- way safety achievement in completing the year 1953 without a fatal motor vehicle traffic accident. This award was signed by Rudolph F. King, Registrar of Motor Vehicles, General Chairman, and Christian A. Herter, Governor of the Commonwealth, Honorary Chairman, and presented to the town by Inspector Frederick Blanck and Hearings Officer John Adams from the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
It is with regret that we had to set down on our records, a fatal motor vehicle accident, which occurred on November twentieth, just ten days after receiving the award for 1953. The town had been 1154 days or since September 23, 1951 without a fatal accident. I feel that if funds had been available for patrolling later in the year and that an officer had been on duty on the high- way, that it is possible that this fatal accident might not have happened.
After the patrolling stopped on October thirty-first, we had nine accidents or approximately 20% of our total accidents happened after the officers were not on the highways. Of these nine accidents three involved pedes- trians.
79
During the year there were 138 motor vehicle viola- tions reported to me. There were 25 licenses suspended and three revoked as recommended by me to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. There were also ten warning letters sent to operators from the registry and there were eight licenses suspended as a result of court convictions.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD C. BARROWS, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
Fees and adjusting charges authorized by Section 56, General Laws, Chapter 98 as amended by Chapter 34, Acts of 1949.

I would appreciate it very much if owners of dogs would try to keep their dog's collared with a name plate attached to same, and also have the license tag which is issued, attached to the collar.
I have found everyone most co-operative on all mat- ters brought to my attention and which required any action.
Please remember that all dogs three months old or over must be licensed on or before March 31st.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF SLAUGHTERING
To the Board of Health :
Gentlemen :
I wish to report that there have been no inspections made during 1954.
Respectfully submitted, WILLARD N. SEIBERT, Inspector of Slaughtering.
82
REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR
To the Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I submit the following report of work done on the Town roads during 1954.
Chapter 81
There were 14,986 gallons of tar and asphalt applied to various roads under this Chapter. Sixteen hundred feet of West Hill Road was hard-surfaced, thus com- pleting this road. There were 1,277 yards of gravel ap- plied to various roads. On Hartford Avenue, East, 1,500 feet of roadway was rebuilt and widened. Proper drain- age was also installed. This has been a very bad spot and very narrow. Brush was cut on all roads including Chapter 90 roads as no money is allowed for cutting brush under Chapter 90 Maintenance.
Chapter 90 Maintenance
A total of 16,993 gallons of tar and asphalt were applied to various roads under this chapter.
Chapter 90 Construction
Drainage was a big factor this year. A new culvert near the residence of Henry Clough was necessary and required 40 feet of 36 inch pipe. Two hundred feet of 12 inch pipe was installed in front of the residence of George Phillips and 16 feet of 30 inch pipe near the property of Henry Mathewson. There were 3,872 yards
83
of gravel used this year as most of the roadway was too low. Plans are under way to finish Providence Street to the intersection of George Street. The balance of the money alloted will be used on Blackstone Street.
Taft Avenue
Taft Avenue has been made a through road connect- ing Millville Road with Uxbridge Road. This makes the work of ploughing snow and sanding much easier.
I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the towns- people as well as the State and County Engineers for their co-operation and assistance during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM R. BOWEN,
Highway Surveyor.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The assessed valuation of property owned by the takers of the East Mendon Water System amounts to $195,000. On the basis of the 1954 tax rate of $47. per thousand, this would mean that $829.08 was received in 1954 taxes from these water takers over and above the normal taxes. due to the higher assessed valuation of property in the water district.
In 1954 the Town received from takers:
For use of water
$1,432.87 For increased taxes 829.08
84
Total income $2,261.95
1954 Expenditures :
Maintenance costs and services $934.03
Payment on Water note
1,000.00
Interest on notes
348.75
Total expenditures $2,282.78
Net cost to Town in 1954 $20.83

SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TAFT PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Trustees of the Taft Public Library submit the Report of the Librarian, the Financial Report, and Trustees' Report for the year ending December 31, 1954.
The services of the Library to the community and its citizens continue on the high level of excellence which has been maintained since its institution. The attention of all is called to the report of Mrs. Daniels, the Libra- rian, whose earnest work and interest are chiefly respon- sible for the important place of the Library in the life of the town. A study of circulation figures over a period of years indicates that the reading of library books is not maintaining its rightful place in competition with tele- vision and other distracting developments in modern liv- ing. In view of this general condition, it is well to re- member that the Library still continues to provide good books for all who wish to use them.
Some repairs and building improvements have been made during the year. Hurricane damage to the roof made some minor repair necessary, and a replacement of a burner transformer was made early in the fall. The installation of a lavatory is a significant improvement in building equipment.
Respectfully submitted, HENRY P. CLOUGH, Secretary Trustees of the Taft Public Library.
86
1954 LIBRARY REPORT
To the Trustees of the Taft Public Library :
The circulation for the year (97 days) was 5364, which is a substantial increase over the last few years. The largest number given out in one day was 130; the smallest, 13; and the average, 55. Circulation by classes was as follows : Fiction, 2009 ; juvenile, 1864; magazines, 784; biography, 254; travel, 45; history, 116; literature and fine arts, 86 ; science and useful arts, 111; all others, 95.
New books added to the Library by the Town, 48; by the Fletcher Fund, 66; by the Annie Ellis Fund, 2; and by gift, 72, making a total of 188. We wish to ex- press our thanks and appreciation to Mrs. Viola Barnes for the gift of nearly fifty books, and the Mendon Girl Scouts for ten books. Gifts of books were also received from Rev. William Nelson, Miss Gail Dudley and from the Lancaster Public Library.
Miss Shirley Smith is our able high school assistant, and Miss Gail Dudley assisted during the summer months. A story hour for the children was conducted by the libra- rian on five Thursday afternoons in the summer. An exhibition of drawings by the elementary grades was shown during Art Week, arranged by Miss Jane Cole- man, art supervisor.
On March 27th, the librarian attended the Centen- nial Anniversary of the Boston Public Library, with trus- tees and librarians from all over the State. It included a conducted tour of the Central Library and a visit to one of the new branch libraries, in Dorchester. Here the
87
librarian was so impressed with the attractiveness of the new plastic book-covers that we have tried them on our new books, with favorable comments.
Water has been put in the library with very fine fixtures ; and this convenience is much appreciated.
Magazine subscriptions include: American, Ameri- can Home, Atlantic Monthly, Better Homes and Gardens, Boys' Life, Colliers, Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, National Geographic, Popuar Me- chanics, Reader's Digest, Red Book, Saturday Evening Post, Time and Woman's Home Companion.
Fines collected and turned over to the town treas- urer, $13.31.
May we thank the trustees and town officials for their co-operation; and the townspeople for their in- creased interest in their library.
VESTELLA M. DANIELS,
Librarian.

AGE OF ADMISSION TO SCHOOL
Any child who becomes six years of age on or before January first of the year following the term when he wishes to enter school may be admitted into the first grade, but in every case the admission of a child under six shall be dependent upon the fitness of the child to profit by the work of the school, such fitness to be deter- mined by the superintendent. Pupils under seven years of age who have not previously attended school shall not be permitted to enter later than thirty days after the opening of school in September of any school year.
SCHOOL REGULATIONS
Any complaint or representation which any person desires to make shall be presented or referred in writing to the superintendent of schools, who, in his discretion may bring it before the school committee. In cases of discipline or other school matters relating to their chil- dren, parents shall first discuss the matter with the teacher concerned. If for some reason they are not satis- fied they will further discuss the matter with the follow- ing persons, if necessary, and in the following order: first, the principal of the building and then the super- intendent of schools. If, finally, the superintendent has been unable to satisfy the parents, he shall report the case to the school committee for consideration and action.
THE NO SCHOOL SIGNAL
It is the policy of the school officials to practically abandon the use of the "no school" signal on account of weather conditions. This is in line with what many other cities and towns are doing. The reason for so doing is
94
that much confusion has resulted from the use of the "no school" signal, and the realization that the loss of even one school day is a very serious one.
However, there may be days when it is advisable to close schools on account of severe weather conditions or any other emergency.
Arrangements have been made with Radio Stations WNAC, WBZ and WWON to broadcast the fact when- ever it is necessary to close the schools. The "no school" signals are usually given before, during or immediately after the news program. The siren will also blow three blasts twice at 7:30 A.M.
If schools do not close on any particularly bad day (rain, snow, or cold) parents are requested, and urged, to use their own judgment in sending their children to school.
