The police care has traveled 13,880 miles and the motor- cycle 347 miles in performance of duty.
The department has placed road and school signs on Manley and Walnut Streets this year.
Again I wish to impress upon the parents the need of instilling into the children the danger of playing, crossing, and walking in the streets.
I wish to thank the School Traffic Officers for the inter- est they have taken in their work. I also wish to thank the teachers for there hearty co-operation in this work.
115
In closing I wish to thank the Selectmen and all others who have in any way helped the Department. To the officers I extend my hearty thanks for there co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN P. LAUGHTON, Chief of Police.
Report of Fire Department.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit the annual report of the West Bridge- water Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1932.
VALUE LOSSES AND INSURANCE PAID
Assessors estimated value of property where fires
have occurred including buildings and contents $58,500.00 8,036.00
Insurance loss paid
CALL FORCE
The call force consists of twenty-two men, one chief, one assistant chief, three captains and five fire wardens.
APPARATUS
The apparatus consists of one Maxim 500-gallon triple combination, one Federal combination pump and hose truck, one Reo combination chemical and hose truck, and one horse drawn hose wagon stationed at Albert Manley's, Man- ley Street.
117
WIRE AND ALARM DEPARTMENT
Two bells relocated, one bell replaced, 200 feet iron wire replaced with insulated copper wire, 500 feet of wire dam- aged by storm restrung. The siren whistle and the bells tested daily except Sundays.
FIRES
Frame buildings

Grass and woodland

Out of town calls 3
In performing this service the apparatus has travelled 261 miles laid 10,400 feet of 21/2 inch hose, 9,050 feet of chemical hose, 400 feet of 34-inch hose, 535 feet of ladders, used 306 gallons chemical and 149 pump cans.
The siren whistle has proven its value in giving an alarm which notifies the call men working around the town of a fire and the location. And I feel that the siren whistle and the wonderful work and co-operation of the officers and men have been a great factor in obtaining such a small fire loss.
Again I feel it my duty to call to your attention the shortage of 21/2 inch fire hose and I would recommend the purchase of 500 feet of hose.
In closing I wish to thank the Selectmen and all others who have in any way helped the Department.
To the officers and members of the Department I extend my hearty thanks for their co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
WARREN P. LAUGHTON, Chief Fire Department.
Report of Highway Department.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The annual report of the Superintendent of Streets is as follows : We started our work January 1st and continued in a moderate way until the end of the year.
Our appropriations this year did not permit us to do much new work. Most of the money was used to repair and keep up our roads as they are at present. We did however put about 6,000 square yards of gravel on our streets as fol- lows: Ash, South, Bedford, Manley and East Streets. We also did a lot of gravel patching in different parts of the town.
We did a great deal of patching on our Macadam roads, using 1,040 gallons of "Tarvia K. P." and 35 tons of fine crushed stone. West Center Street and Plain Street call for the most attention in this line.
I would recommend that these streets be widened, at the least, six feet. The Tarvia tops on Crescent, Spring, Howard and Matfield Streets were given a treatment of Tarvia Retread. South, Union and the last section built on East street were treated with Asphalt Macadam binder.
New concrete pipe culverts were put in Pleasant and Bryant streets. Our appropriation for Street Signs and Bridges was used for repairs on bridges, repainting and making new signs, and work in general for the safety of the public.
119
While we have not had a great amount of snow the last two or three years, the cost of snow removal seems to in- crease. The people expect us to start plowing when the storm begins. We also have to take the snow away from the centers and squares. The equipment for plowing snow in town is poor.
We have one old straight single blade plow that is about worn out. We have a big Baker plow which for various reasons is no asset. The town should own a light steel A plow such as is used in other towns. This plow could be used on most any truck and would plow the full width in one trip and thus avoid "doubling" on most streets.
An Asphalt sidewalk was built on Matfield street from the railroad tracks to Cyr street. Another walk of the same type was built on West Center street from Elm Square to the residence of Mrs. Wheeler. The work on these two walks should be continued. All the black top walks should be given a seal coat of asphalt for their preservation.
In regard to road working equipment I will say that we do not own much at present. We have one 1929 model Mack truck which has given four years of service but through good care and careful handling is in good condi- tion. It should have some work done on the motor to make it more efficient. We have on Ford dump truck which in the market has no value, but after six years of constant use still carries on. We should replace this truck with a newer model. Our concrete mixer which was a used machine of a very old pattern, purchased in 1926 is in poor condition. This machine is used a great deal in Kold patch work and is very essential at this time. This machine should also be replaced. We have one New England Road Machine, one tar kettle, six sidewalk snow plows and an array of shovels, axes, picks, bars, brooms and small tools necessary to carry on the work of this department.
In conclusion I wish to th nk the Selectmen for their
120
kind and courteous treatment during the past year when there was so many to try and provide work for.
I also wish to thank all the townspeople for their cooperation and public spirit.
Respectfully submitted,
DANIEL A. PENPRAESE, Superintendent of Streets.

Report of Tree Warden.
During the past year our shade trees were put to a very hard test. We had some severe gales especially on March 31 and another on June 23. We were fortunate no material damage was done.
I have removed ten trees that were considered danger- ous. Four of them were very large ones; two of these were on West Center street and one on Arch street and one on Manley street.
I have cut a large number of dead branches and trim- med many that were too low. I have bolted one tree.
I would recommend that an amount of money be appro- priated each year to purchase and plant trees. Our town is noted for its beautiful trees, but we shall not have that rep- utation long if we continue cutting and do not plant.
For financial statement see report of town accountant.

Tree Warden.
Report of Gypsy Moth Superintendent.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1932.
The suppression of the gypsy moth continues to be one of the economic problems which the towns and cities of the state have to contend with. The condition of the gypsy moth infestation in this town remains about the same as last year; though not as bad as it was several years ago. We find egg clusters scattered all over the town. We have creo- soted all we have found and also sprayed all the trees on the roadside.
With two hundred thousand acres of forest completely defoliaged by the gypsy moth on Cape Cod last summer we shall have to be most vigilant if we are to prevent a heavy infestation in this town in the future.
CHRISTOPHER READ,
Local Superintendent.
