I regret to report that we had two fatal accidents this year. However there is some satisfaction in the fact that we have had less accidents than in the previous year.
Our two way radio hook-up with the towns of Groton
55
and Shirley has proven to be a mutual benefit. We have received a total of 312 calls through the main station, and have been able to call assistance when needed.
The town of Townsend will soon be in on our net-work which will give us added coverage.
I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the citizens of the town of Pepperell for their courtesy and co-operation that they have given the department this past year.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD C. KING,
Chief of Police.

Report of Trustees of Lawrence Library
January 18, 1949
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Trustees of the Lawrence Library respectfully submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1948 :

John R. Shugert Pat J. McDermott George A. Gillis

Book Committee

After many weeks of careful consideration the Trus- tees concluded to invest the money that had been in various savings banks in this section of the country in some type of bond. The reason for this decision was because these funds have been paying only 1/2 to 1% interest. After a thorough investigation and upon the advice of expert in- vestment counsel it was decided to withdraw from these savings banks the sum of $10,000.00 and purchase two $5,000.00 Series G Government Bonds which pay at the rate of 21/2% per year. It is felt that these bonds are the safest investment possible and the increased rate of return will help to augment the Library's annual income. Before making this transfer of funds, permission was obtained from Henry F. Long, Commissioner of Taxation. These bonds appear on the State's approved list of investments for public funds.
63
Without additional compensation from the Town, our Book Committee were able to purchase at a cost of $100.00 a new set of Compton's Encyclopedia. A stand for this set was also purchased at a cost of $5.00. These new reference books were badly needed and we hope the children of school age and others will find them helpful.
The driveway in front of the Library has also been paved from funds especially alloted by the Town about two years ago.
Your Committee, the librarians, and the janitor are still doing everything possible to conserve fuel oil. During the winter months the Reading and Art Rooms are closed for the season and the Library itself is only open on con- secutive days, namely Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This schedule is still in the experimental stage but we hope it will effect a considerable saving in the fuel consumption.
After careful consideration of our budget, we have de- cided that the regular Town appropriation of $1,800.00 will be sufficient for our purposes in 1949. However, before too long extensive repairs may be required on the roof. If after a more complete investigation this is found to be the case, it will probably then be necessary to request the Town for additional funds for these repairs.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN R. SHUGERT,
Chairman.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee and Citizens of the Town of Pepperell:
It is an honor for me to submit the annual report of the administration of the School Department.
Inasmuch as the services of my office extend only through three months of the past year, it is not possible for me to review the entire activities of our schools for 1948. Accordingly I refer the reader to reports of the various principals and supervisors for detailed information concerning the progress of their respective departments.
