Report of Cemetery Commissioners
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
In submitting this our Annual Report we wish to thank all who have so kindly assisted in the work of this depart- ment. Mrs. Saunders, Mr. Burney, and Mr. McClain have rendered valuable assistance and to them we extend a special word of appreciation. We also thank the Board of Selectmen for allowing us the use of the basement of the Town Hall for storage of our equipment.
The work this year as in the past two years has been under the direct supervision of the Commissioners.
We are pleased to report that the lot owners have cooperated very well in the payment of annual care bills, there are still a few individuals who fail to pay their bills and we have been obliged to leave these lots uncared for.
If we are to continue winter burials we should have a larger tool house where the greens and other equipment could be dried at proper temperatures and taken care of more comfortably. We should also have an electric com- pressor or power drill to break the frozen ground and hard pan. Last winter we opened several graves with nearly twenty inches of frost which is slow and hard work and necessarily adds to the cost of the burial.
The use of wooden boxes for burials has been discon- tinued and we have substituted vaults or liners. The liners are similar to a vault except that they come in six sections and are assembled and placed in position at the grave. We have used eight liners this past year. These liners are sold to the funeral directors at a nominal cost, we are therefore asking for an increase of one hundred dollars in our appropriation to defray the cost of these liners.
The sunken grave problem will gradually be eliminated by the use of vaults or liners and this will add much to the improvement of our cemeteries.
115
We might add that the funeral directors are cooperat- ing fully with us in the elimination of the wooden box burial.
Because of the wet season we were obliged to mow the cemeteries many times more than ordinarily, therefore we were unable to fill as many sunken graves and grade some of the lots that we had hoped to.
There were several head stones tipped over and broken in Walten which does not add to the beauty of the Cemetery.
The fence at Woodlawn on the East and West sides will have to be replaced before many years.
The equipment as a whole is in good condition.
We recommend the following appropriation for 1952:
Cemeteries $2,000
Soldiers Graves $ 400
An account of receipts and expenditures may be found in the report of the Town Accountant.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Middlesex County Extension Service Town of Pepperell - 1951
Middlesex County maintains an Extension Service in Agriculture and Home Economics for the benefit of all towns within the County. This service is available to all citizens, especially farmers, home gardeners, homemakers, rural youth and 4-H Club boys and girls.
The work is developed by an unpaid Board of Trustees who maintain a staff of agents at the headquarters at 19 Everett Street, Concord. The trustees appoint a director in each town to represent them in all phases of Extension Work or in a few cases towns elect a director and make an appropriation to help defray local expenses.
In addition to farm and home visits made upon request, local meetings are held or sectional or county-wide meet- ings or tours are helps available to everyone. A monthly bulletin is published, timely letters mailed on spraying, fertilizing, seeding, poultry problems, information to home- makers, boys' and girls' 4-H work or general community problems.
Some of the activities that took place last year in Pepperell are as follows:
Educational work with the dairymen was concentrated on programs to assist the farmers in solving their problems of raising better roughage, diseases control and milk marketing. Mrs. Rose Kozlowski, Hobart L. Pickard and Twin Valley Farm were enrolled in the Green Pasture Program for dairymen. The program was completed and appropriate seals were awarded for the work done. A meeting of dairymen was held at the farm of Harold Olsen and one was also held at Twin Valley Farm. Assistance was given the local fruit growers through farm visits and many growers attended meetings held by the Extension Service in the area. One meeting was held with Samuel Rozoff, a representative of a pickling concern, to determine if there was any interest in raising pickles for canning. No increase was made over the already established grow-
117
ers. Increased efficiency, flock health, greater breeding progress, and better marketing practices were the principal goals of the Extension Poultry Program. Efficient manage- ment practices and equipment were among the topics dis- cussed at meetings of the Middlesex County Poultry Asso- ciation, held at the Acton Town Hall on the second Mon- day of the month. Rabbit breeders were given assistance through the Middlesex Commercial Rabbit Association, which meets monthly at the Extension Service "School- house" in Concord.
Mrs. Leslie Smith and Mrs. Francis Caisse are the Pepperell representatives to the Women's Advisory Coun- cil. Pepperell homemakers enjoyed the program "Under- standing Ourselves and others"-starring the "Tater Fam- ily" and the Christmas gift kit, collection of items that can be made at home.
4-H Clubs for the past year in Pepperell included dairy, boys' and girls' gardens, and poultry. The clubs were very active with an excellent minstrel show in May, a float in the July Fourth Parade, and many exhibits at the Grange Fair in September.
Many of the dairy members attended Weymouth Fair and all attended the Middlesex County 4-H Fair at Groton. The boys' Garden Club had the largest enrollment of over twenty members. Although no girls' 4-H work was done during the winter in Pepperell, the summer found the town committee anxious to reorganize work for the girls. Knitting, canning, and freezing were done during the sum- mer by 4-H'ers, and the work was exhibited at the Pepperell and Hollis, New Hampshire Grange Fairs.
Mrs. Ernest Melendy was town chairman of club work and leaders for the clubs were: Mr. Seymour Townsend, Mrs. Eugene Reese, Mr. Harold Olsen, Mr. Lawrence Lowe, Mrs. George T. Keyes, Jr., Florence Flynn and Mrs. Austin King.

Time was when the value of a building could be pretty well gauged from its size and outside appearance. Today such features as plumbing, heating, and insulation are far more important than size. Fine old places are selling for a fraction of the price of small, modern homes. We have tried to treat all taxpayers as fairly as we can but realize that without more detailed inspection than a part time board can give, considerable discrepancies can occur. Al- though it would increase the tax rate over $2 for one year we feel the time has come when we should have outside appraisers, trained in this work, revalue the town. This would cost the town money, it would make more work for the assessors, and would cause considerable criticism from those who would have their taxes increased but it would make for a fairer distribution of the tax load for the next ten years at least. Experience has shown that such a re- valuation will make little or no difference to about a third of the taxpayers, will reduce the taxes of the third who have been overtaxed, and increase the taxes of a third who in the past have not paid their fair share.

Report of Playground Committee
The Playground Committee submit the following re- port for the year 1951.
The ball field was rolled in the spring. The snow fences were put up to be left there permanently. This snow fence was purchased by the committee.
The wire on both the baseball back stop and the tennis court backstops were repaired and painted.
A cloth tennis net was purchased and used all summer as the metal net which was ordered early in the spring did not come in until late fall. This metal net will be put up this spring to be used in the future. It should prove much more substantial than the ordinary nets.
The field was kept mowed and in good condition all season.
The skating rink was in great demand as usual and the lights were turned on each night that we felt the ice was safe.
The committee wish to thank all who assist in any way with the work that was done on the field, and its activities.
