To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:

200 feet of 1-inch hose

Report of Tree Warden.
The year 1924 was the hardest ever known for tree wardens. We had four severe gales, one on March 11th that did a lot of damage to our trees and required a lot of work to clean up. The gale in May spoiled the appearance of the trees by whipping and tearing the young leaves. The most severe gale we had was August 26th. It up- rooted trees, broke sound branches, split crotches, and caused a lot of damage. I wish to thank the Highway Dept. for their assistance during and after the storm, in making the roads passable. I have cut several dead trees and trim- med and taken dead limbs out of a lot of them. In co- operation with the Highway Dept., we have cut bushes on the following streets: East, River, Forest, West Center, and Aldrich Streets.
Respectfully submitted,
CHRISTOPHER READ, Tree Warden

Librarian's Report.
The past year has been a busy one at the Library. Although the circulation of the books shows only a slight increase over that of a year ago, yet we have a greater number of calls for information that requires considerable research work. It is, therefore, gratifying to have special assistance during our rush hours.
Our greatest present need is for more room for read- ing and reference work as the present magazine and refer- ence room is inadequate for both purposes.
Other needs are a fuller provision for distribution of books for use in schools and a more effective lighting sys- tem in the stacks.
In closing, we wish to express our gratitude to those who have so willingly aided us, for their helpful co-opera- tion.
Number of books taken out for grade school use: Fic- tion 90, Non-Fiction 122, Magazines 10. For High School: Fiction 205, Non-Fiction 152, Magazine 24. Eight honor certificates have been awarded to children who have read twenty-five or more books on the State list.

Report of the Selectmen for the year ending December 31, 1924.
During the past year a large sum of money has been expended for permanent road work. West Center Street was completed to the Easton line at a cost of $35,032.13, of which Town, State, and County each paid $11,667.38. A piece on Matfield Street, starting at the railroad crossing, running west for about 1,600 feet, was installed.
The town the past year has worked under Chapter 81, of the General Laws, by which the town appropriated $6,150.00 and the State contributed $3,075.00, and also su- pervised the work of the local superintendent of streets.
We believe that by working under this act, an improve- ment has been made in many of the outlaying roads, and if this method is continued for a few years, the improve- ment will be seen by all.
We believe that some permanent road work should be done each year, and for the present year would recommend an appropriation for work on East Center Street, providing that the State and County will each allot a sum of money equal to the amount that the Town appropriates.
There is one matter of much importance that has been neglected; that is the matter of sidewalks. The automobiles have so increased in number that the safety of the pedes- trians must be considered. We believe that an appropria- tion for sidewalks of a permanent type should be made, and would recommend that a beginning be made the present year.

Report of Extension Service Work in West Bridgewater, 1924.
The Plymouth County Extension Service, co-operating with the Massachusetts Agricultural College, is a public service which works for better methods and practices in farming and home-making. On the farms during the last year the Service has worked particularly with the poultry- men, orchard men, dairy farmers, and market gardeners. In the home it has concerned itself with better methods in home management, including the home equipment, and the feeding and clothing of the family. The boys and girls through their clubs have studied and carried on work simi- lar to that of the men and women.
The Extension Service has also given direct assistance to community and county fairs, and has helped in carrying out the programs in agriculture and home-making of the local granges, clubs, and other organizations.
West Bridgewater has benefited both directly and in- directly by the Extension Service activities. It has given aid in dairying and in the raising of crops, chiefly potatoes. Poultrymen have been given assistance of a general nature and in the control of chicken pox.
In home management, West Bridgewater won four of the seven county prizes offered in the Better Kitchen Con- test, a notable achievement for a single community. This contest was carried on as a part of the Kitchen Improve- ment program of the Extension Service. The town was
91
also represented in a county group conducted to train lead- ers in clothing projects.
The boys of the Cochesett section have been helped in getting better poultry stock. They have also taken part in garden club work. The girls have done clothing and can- ning club work. The work of these young folks has demon- strated to their parents and to others the practices advised by the Extension Service. One girl in West Bridgewater will represent the whole county as county potato champion at the state camp at the Massachusetts Agriculture College.
At present the club work is continuing in Cochesett and poultry, food, and handicraft club work is going on at Matfield.
Actually, but not quite so directly, West Bridgewater has benefited by the influence of the Extension Service through the press, including the county dailies and weeklies and the Plymouth County Farmer, and through the gradual spread of influence of those who in increasing numbers since the Extension Service began in 1914 have been practicing extension methods.
MRS. KATHARINE A. JAMES, Town Director.
Report of Chief of Police.
During the past year there has been 140 complaints investigated, 1 liquor raid, 19 automobile accidents, 1 drowning accident, 42 arrests, 34 summons served.

The Treasurer has received $147.00 in Court fines.
1 insane person committed to the Insane Hospital at Foxboro.
