Relocation of Dennison District is progressing, and the board recommends an additional amount to continue this work.
Conditional approvals were given to Mr. Joseph A. Goddu for a sub-division on Lebanon Hill; also to Mr. George Wood for a sub-division on Elm Street.
Town-owned land, such as Cole Forest, and the land bor- dering the river on West Street, would make ideal playgrounds and picnic grounds, which the State will help to defray ex- penses.
The board recommends this year, as they did last year, that we need a new fire alarm system.
The Planning Board wishes, at this time, to compliment our local Police Chief Uuric Brault, on his fine work in averting any accidental deaths in the Town of Southbridge.
We, the members of the Planning Board, wish at this time to thank all Town officials and the citizens of Southbridge for their co-operation in helping us with our work during the year of 1949.

GEORGE S. DUQUETTE, Chairman, FRANCIS N. BISHOP, Secretary, BERNARD RAIMONDO, RAOUL GAULIN, EDWARD SEREMET.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the
Jacob Edwards Memorial Library:
The year 1949 proved to be another increasingly busy one for Jacob Edwards Memorial Library. The circulation of books and periodicals for home use showed an increase of 6,400, which is almost an 8% increase over last year's figures. As was the case in 1948, the reading of children's books accounted for the larger share of this rise in circulation figures-66.7%.
Because of this increased use of library facilities by young library users resulting in crowded conditions and the lack of sufficient personnel for supervision, it became necessary to close the children's room to elementary school children, unless they are accompanied by parents, at six o'clock. Although this
57
is the usual closing time for children's rooms in public libraries, this change was made here only after much thought and delib- eration. The need for a properly equipped and supervised room where children may read, study and consult reference tools is fully understood. Adult library users and high school students also warrant attention and service, however. Under present conditions it seemed necessary to limit children's use of the library to the hours before six o'clock.
The increase in circulation of 4,270 children's books was due, in part, to a story hour and reading club program. Two story hours were held in the spring attended by a capacity audi- ence of about one hundred children and some youngsters were turned away because of lack of seating space. Mrs. Dorothy Stedman of Worcester told the stories. The story hour and reading club supervised by Miss Claire LaForce, children's librarian, and Miss Jean Small, summer assistant, proved very popular. Recordings of both stories and music were used, stories were read and told and the children reported on their reading. Fifty-three youngsters enrolled in the reading club and read a total of 315 books. Many more children, too young to do much reading, appeared at each of the five meetings to hear the stories and music.
The circulation of children's books has reached an all-time high with 33,819 books and periodicals borrowed from the library. This is an increase of 3,273 over last year which held the previous record. With the steady rise in circulation figures and the increased use of existing facilities, the need for a sep- arate and larger room in the library for the children of South- bridge has become more imperative.
Miss Isabel Planeta resigned as children's librarian the first of June to be married. Her resignation was accepted with regret. Miss Claire LaForce was appointed to succeed her. Again the library has been fortunate in acquiring the services of a local person whose qualifications, although they do not include formal library training, have been valuable to the staff.
Miss LaForce made the usual visits to the elementary schools as part of the celebration of Book Week. The response was gratifying as is shown by the circulation of 3,390 children's books during the month of November.
During the year 1949, 1,096 adults and 463 children regis- tered at the library to borrow books, 534 of whom had not had library cards in Southbridge before. This makes a total of 5,548 who have borrowed books from the library in the last four years, or about 29% of the total population of Southbridge. Many people, of course, use the library as a source of informa- tion who do not borrow books for home use. Eighty-five maga-
58
-
zines and eight newspapers are accessible to everyone in the reading room. Two sets of scholarly, up-to-date encyclopedias and two junior sets, dictionaries, magazine indexes, Atlases, biographical dictionaries and other specialized reference tools are available for reference use.
Many have taken advantage of the inter-library loan serv- ice offered by the Massachusetts Division of Public Libraries. It is generally possible to borrow almost any book other than fiction and the very latest non-fiction through this service. As in past years, the library has borrowed collections of books in French, Italian, Polish, and Greek through the Division.
Again the trend in adult reading seems to be away from fiction, with a larger increase in non-fiction, especially in the more practical fields. Reading in the various classes has fluctu- ated considerably in the four years as can be seen from the following table. Biography has come into its own again. The reading of books on religion has doubled in the last four years. Books on the useful arts-medicine, engineering, household economy, business, and the building trades-have received wider use as have the fine arts and recreation books on painting, antique collecting, photography, games and sports.

If the amount collected by the library and turned in to the Town Treasurer ($1,353.22) is taken into consideration, the net cost to taxpayers for 1949 ($12,437.29) is 65.99% of the cost for the year.
Attention is called to the estimated contribution for 1950 of $4,500 from Trust Funds. On this ba- sis the town cost will be only 78.77% of the total budget including the special appropriation of $1,000 if granted, and 74.05% if that special appropriation is not granted.
In the interest of the public the trustees urgently recommend that the facilities of the Library be expanded through the addition of a building to be used as a Children's Library. Trustees ap- peared before the Southbridge Public Improvement Committee in 1947 and $48,500 was set up as
%
65
a capital outlay for 1948-all or a part of this amount to be raised by a bond issue. This recom- mendation was included in the warrant for 1948 and 1949, but was turned down by the Finance Committee and the voters.
Again it is stressed that this needed Children's Library will not only develop reading habits for children, but will make available to adults the present facilities under more satisfactory conditions.

REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
During the past year the Recreation Committee has held 22 meetings of the full committee and 43 meetings of the sub- committees.
The Dresser Street Field was in operation from May to November 26, and a total of 374 permits were issued to 30 vari- ous groups.
Tennis Courts were in operation whenever permissible, and a total of 1540 persons were recorded as having made use of the Tennis Courts. During the early part of the summer, per- mits were issued for periods of one hour to each set, but due to the fact that there are only two courts, and many persons ap- plied for permits, the time was cut to one-half hour for each set. During the course of the season, we have had numerous requests from youngsters to have someone to instruct them how to properly play tennis.
The Committee has agreed that the requests should not go unheeded and arrangements will be made to have instruction periods for the various age groups next year.
The Alumni Field was in use from May 27 to September 30, and a total of 145 permits were issued to 27 various groups; these figures do not include the use of the field by the school groups who used it during week day mornings under the super- vision of Mr. Lewis Kyrios.
At times, the committee was unable to issue permits for all applicants, especially softball teams, due to the lack of playing areas, and it was necessary to call a meeting of the leaders of the various groups so that a satisfactory schedule could be worked out. The committee feels that there is a definite need of more areas to take care of this situation. The swimming pool report has been submitted by the supervisor, Mr. Edward Desroches, and we are enclosing same with this report.
During the past year receipts for the use of facilities and the concession at Dresser Field were $730.80. A total of $645.50 of this amount has been paid to the Town Treasurer leaving a balance of $85.30, due for rentals.
The financial report of the Recreation Committee is as follows:

As a result of the experience the Recreation Committee has encountered during the two years of its existence, the com- mittee has requested that an article be inserted in the Town Warrant asking that the Town empower it to hire a full time, paid Recreational Director. The committee feels that this will result in a savings to the townspeople and will also make for better use of the recreational facilities.
We wish to thank the various Town Departments, Town Officials, and citizens who have helped us by their co-operation and suggestions.

REPORT OF SWIMMING SUPERVISOR
Mr. Arthur Leduc, Chairman,
Recreation Committee. Dear Sir:
At your request, I am submitting the annual report of the swimming pool supervisor for 1949.
Attendance
From June 25 to September 3, a total of 19,600 persons used the pool's facilities; 2,400 June, 10,060 July, 6,834 August, 306 September. Average daily attendance-280. This figure, the largest recorded since the pool's creation, clearly indicates an increased awareness of its facilities and advantages.
Rescues
The importance of competent and responsible supervision was demonstrated many times during the swimming season. Eight children suffering from cramps, exhaustion and other physical or psychological factors such as fear and panic were helped to shore by the lifeguards. This is conclusive evidence of the definite necessity for qualified and efficient lifeguards on duty at all times.
Instruction
An organized program of instruction sponsored by the local Red Cross Chapter was in effect for the greatest part of the swimming season. Regular classes for beginners, intermediates, swimmers, junior and senior lifesavers met with a certified Red Cross instructor while a regular lifeguard of the staff was on duty. Proper awards of Red Cross badges and certificates were made to those who satisfied certain established criteria of pro- ficiency in their respective areas. Such formal programs coupled with the informal instruction given by Miss Fitzgerald and the rest of the staff will do much to stimulate the develop- ment of strong and skillful swimmers.
Playground "Water Day"
July 27, the summer playgrounds' annual "Water Day" was held at the pool. Swimming and diving contests were held in the morning to permit bathers to use the pool during regular hours. The enthusiasm with which children and parents responded to this event definitely emphasizes the role of the swimming pool in satisfying a very important recreational need.
Health Care
The methods of control over the bacteria growth to provide safe water for bathers were the same as those employed in pre- vious years. The upper reservoir, with a capacity of 6,500,000 gallons, was used to provide a continuous flow of water into the
69
.
pool; while systematic chlorination provided a second safe- guard. These two methods of control, scientifically manipu- lated, are effective enough to dispel any existing fear of pollution.
In concluding my report, I would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank you and your committee for the fine co-opera- tion we received from you throughout the official season. It was indeed a pleasure to work with men who manifest such un- tiring devotion to the betterment of the recreational facilities of our town.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD DESROCHES, Swimming Pool Supervisor.
REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
During the past year, we quarantined 21 dogs on suspicion of rabies for the usual 14 days. Dairy farmers disposed of 17 heads of cattle for Mastitis infection, by sale or slaughter.
Dairy farmers and others imported 43 heads of cattle from the various New England states and Canada, all of which were identified as coming from tuberculin tested herds or accredited areas, and were accompanied by certificates testifying that they had been blood-tested within 30 days of shipment for Bang's disease.
In all, we made 113 visits to farms or other premises where animals were kept, and in the annual census required by the Director of Animal Disease Control, we enumerated the follow- ing number of animals within the town limits:
Cattle 423 heads Sheep 10 heads
Horses
60 heads Swine 15 heads
Goats 7 heads
Several owners were required to clean and white-wash their stables, separate horses from cattle, and remove accumu- lations of manure periodically.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH A. CHAGNON, Inspector of Animals.

The balance of our appropriation for maintaining the Honor Roll is .20, making a total of $349.80 spent on the Honor Roll.
The Honor Roll was painted and decorated for the 30th of May as in the past years, lights were also replaced as they burned out.

REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Southbridge:
The past year has been a very active one, what with the in- stallation of new main sewers, repairs to valves at sewer beds, new services to the town system hitting an all-time high, num- erous blockings and repairs to manhole covers, the building of a new bridge at the sewage plant, and the all important con- ferences with the State Dept. of Public Works and State Dept. of Health in connection with the much needed sewage plant.
The construction of Mechanic Street sewer was awarded to Frank Shields, Inc., for $13,557.35, the appropriation being $16,200.00.
The construction of a new bridge at the sewage disposal plant was awarded to Trahan Bros. for $2,762.70. The appro- priation was $4,000.00.
The manhole at East Main Street, which had sunk so as to cause a hazard, was repaired and brought flush to road level.
Forty-six permits were granted to connect to the Town Sewage System.
71
Several major stoppages were encountered on Crane, South, Fairlawn, West, and Everett Street.
Over thirty manhole covers were packed to prevent rocking.
The major and most important business to come before the Board concerned the proposal of a new modern sewage treat- ment plant for the town. The State has been most insistent in their demands. The firm of Hayden, Harding and Buchanen was retained to draw up detailed construction plans for a high speed trickling filter sewage plant, such plans to be approved by the State Dept. of Health. At this writing these plans are in their final stages and all estimates and final details will be available for the annual town meeting.
Respectfully submitted, J. GEORGE PAGE, Chairman, RAYMOND BACHAND, Clerk, ALFRED GOUDREAU.
