In concluding the report of the Board of Assessors there are a few facts which it seems desirable to present to the tax payers. The first of these is a change in the law regarding the assessment of poll taxes. In 1937 the Legislature passed a law exempting all males above the age of seventy from paying a poll tax. Chapter 186 of the Acts of 1938 changes this law again so that every male inhabitant above the age of twenty must be as- sessed a poll tax, regardless of age or nationality, in 1939.
The second item is in regard to the Motor Vehicle Excise. Many people believe that the money received from this is turned over to the State. That is not true. Every cent collected through the Motor Vehicle Excise is kept by the town and helps to reduce the local tax rate. The Town of West Bridgewater receives annually from this source something over $6,000 which results in a reduction in the local tax rate of approximately $2.00. Another law passed by the Legislature during 1938 classes all types of trailers, so far as taxation is con- cerned, as motor vehicles and makes them subject to the Motor Vehicle Excise in exactly the same manner as a car or truck.
One other matter that we wish to mention in this report is in regard to the State Tax. In 1938 the amount which was certified to this Board was considerably smaller than the amount finally fixed at the end of the session of the Legislature. As a result of this we will have to make up in 1939 the deficit carried over from 1938. While it is too early yet to predict with any certainty the size of the State Tax for 1939, it is certain that it will be consider- ably larger than that of 1938 and, also, larger than any State Tax that we have had before. This means that in addition to a deficit for 1938, which will have to be made up in 1939, there will also be an added burden on the Town of its share in a State Tax which will be larger than that of 1938. This will undoubtedly bring about a local tax rate higher than that of 1938 even though local spending should be held at the same level as before.

Report of Selectmen
The duties of the Selectmen, as might be expected, have shown this year a very material increase, involving many more than the usual sessions.
Early in the year the final hearing upon the Railroad discontinuing West Bridgewater Freight service was at- tended by the Selectmen, and as service is continued we feel our protests against discontinuance were highly suc- cessful.
The increased amount of Highway work taken over under Farm to Market, W. P. A. projects, reported else- where, involved considerable time in laying out the ways and devising means to properly carry out the plans.
Land damage awards questioned by owners of prop- erty taken, involved both personal interviews, Council contacts and court action. Several meetings at Plymouth with County Commissioners regarding Spring Street and the contemplated removal of Railroad Bridges, Spring Street and North Elm Street. Action of the several land owners agrieved with award given them, and other minor matters requiring visits to the County Commissioners at Plymouth.
Duties too numerous to mention and of diversified character, including Welfare, have required more than the usual amount of meetings and expenditure of indi- vidual time.
Numerous bills before the Legislature relative to Old Age Assistance required our attention. Some of these bills if put upon the Statutes, would have established a condition requiring a new set of Officers, separate offices and result in a greatly increased expense to the Towns of the Commonwealth, and not in any way increase the benefits either to the Old Age recipient or the Towns.
-94-
Several vigorous protests at hearings carried this bill over to 1939. We will continue to fight its enactment.
At the close of the year we are engaged with Select- men of the State in an effort to prevent the Gasolene Tax collected by the State from being diverted to any other purpose than it was by law directed, for distribution to Cities and Towns for their Highways. This fund has been in the years just passed, notwithstanding the Law, directed to other purposes. This we hope to prevent for all future time.

Report of Board of Health
For the year 1938 we are able to report a decided de- crease in the reportable cases of diseases. In 1937, 61 cases were reported as against 21 cases this past year. This is a remarkable decrease and it is hoped that all cases were reported.
The following were cases reported :

One death from Tuberculosis, case reported in 1937.
We must again call attention to parents that the law requires that communable diseases be reported. For non- compliance with this law a fine is imposed. The health of the community is a matter that is and should be of serious interest to every citizen. Assistance in helping the Health authorities to stop the spread is of vital im- portance to all. There should be no hesitation in report- ing at the onset of any communable disease.

Report of Water Department
The Water Commissioners this year have continued to follow out the policy of replacing small pipe with pipe of a larger size, thus improving the water supply and increasing fire protection. Wherever this has been done the services into the individual houses have also been replaced with copper tubing.
Six inch pipe was layed on Crescent Street from the residence of Frederick T. Carty to West Center Street, a distance of approximately twenty-five hundred feet. In conjunction with laying this pipe two new hydrants were installed and a total of nine individual services re- newed with copper.
About eight hundred feet of six inch pipe was layed on Pleasant Street starting at West Center Street, to- gether with one hydrant and the necessary services to the houses.
A six inch main was extended on West Street from the residence of Daniel Penpraese to the residence of Ray- mond Pearson, a distance of a little over eight hundred feet.
Considerable work was done on North Elm Street be- cause of the highway construction there. The depart- ment has felt that is was advisable to renew all of the old services along this street before the new highway is completed. This will do away with the possibility of hav- ing to dig up certain portions of it within a short time.
Aside from the laying of new mains and the renewal of services along them the department has also carried on its regular maintenance. During the year we have installed fifteen new services scattered about the town, most of these the result of new construction. Also several new hydrants have been installed.
Throughout the year the department has availed itself of all the help that it could obtain through the W. P. A., thus keeping construction costs at the lowest possible figure to the town.

Report of Tree Warden
To the Citizens of West Bridgewater:
Herewith is submitted my report for the year 1938 as Tree Warden.
Our trees in general fine condition up to September 21, at that time in common with results elsewhere, received severe punishment. From healthy abundant foliage they were transformed into shredded foliage, broken limbs and branches, and many of them all over the Town en- tirely destroyed by the hurricane.
The salt spray carried 45 miles inland from the sea by the force of the wind, completely burnt the leaves which caused many trees to shed their leaves earlier than the natural period. Many of our trees were completely destroyed beyond hope to save them. Many twisted and broken limbs had to be removed, spoiling the natural shape which in time may, in some cases, recover but this hope is doubtful.
In the labor of cutting, trimming and removing trees and stumps from the highways, we were assisted by the W. P. A. which reduced the financial burden upon the Town. The police and highway departments deserve high commendation for their timely and valuable service ren- dered during this most dangerous and disastrous period.

Tree Warden.

Report of Moth Superintendent
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
Conditions in regard to the Gypsy Moth pest is practi- cally the same as previous. We find in scouting for and creosoting egg clusters, an increase in some sections and a material decrease in other districts. We sprayed all the trees along our highways; many of them twice.
The new spraying machine purchased last year proved to be a valuable addition to our equipment. With this new sprayer we were able to spray thoroughly our largest and tallest trees, an accomplishment not possible before with the old sprayer. With our new equipment we feel that it will greatly aid in diminishing the various pests that destroy, and thereby aid our shade trees to a healthy and vigorous growth.
Healthy trees are a valuable asset to any town. We strive to keep them that way for present and future benefit to the Town.

Local Superintendent.

Report of Superintendent of Streets
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1938:
MAINTENANCE
I have gone through the same routine as in past years, scraping all the gravel roads in the town a great many times, gravel patching on most all the dirt roads, and in fact a great deal of work too numerous to mention here. I have tried to look after the gravel roads to the best of my ability; in fact all roads in the town. Patching gravel roads is only an expense, as they only stay good for a short time.

FENCES
A new fence on South Elm St., Bedford St., and Lin- coln St., and a great many have been repaired.
CULVERTS AND CATCH BASIN
The culvert on South Elm and Scotland Street has been widened out a distance of 16 Ft. The same on Lincoln Street and Bedford Street, Culvert and bridge on Grant Street has been taken up and rebuilt. This was a large job. There is a lot of small culverts, I will not try to mention, have been repaired and widened. Three new catch basins have been installed on Spring Street and every catch basin has been cared for.
A FEW REMARKS
There are people who look on the W. P. A. work not in the right way. If they had looked over the work done by them and the Highway Department this year, they would agree with me that not in the history of the Town has there been so much work done on the Highway as in the past year. Most of you have seen the work but I am going to call a few things to your attention. For in- stance the road on Spring Street graveled, straightened. Catch basins, culverts, and a face wall built on the land of George Connors, a distance of 1150 Ft .; one of our worst roads, both in looks and surface, has been con- verted to one of the best. One mile of gravel on Maple Street; One mile of drainage on Manley and West Street; 4000 Ft. in length of gravel on Manley Street; 1800 Ft. in length gravel on Lincoln Street; 528 Ft. in length of gravel on Crescent Street; Scotland Street; Gravel 2640 Ft. in length; Prospect Street 2150 in length; Forest Street 1160 in length.
The W. P. A. has cut and grubbed up bushes on most of the roads in Town, built a face wall on River Street a distance of 600 Ft. This job by W. P. A. is one of the accomplishments well looking at for its neatness and workmanship.
-105-
The hurricane we had this year has caused a lot of work which had to be done and also a great deal of ex- pense to all departments.
I would also like to say that all the stone that has been loaded in different pits in town, has been used either to widen roads or else fill up dangerous places where automobiles might meet with an accident.
In closing I would like to say it would be impossible for me to give you all the work that has been done in detail, space forbids, on the various projects this year on the Highway. I would also like to say that if the young men would stop and think the damage and work they cause in trying to have a good time in destroying town property, such as pulling up street and school signs, also burning up the Highway tool box, and about $75.00 worth of tools, they would not do those things again. Get in touch with me and I feel we can give you better and more helpful entertainment. I want to thank the Select- men for helping me in my department also the W. P. A. foreman and also the response and cooperation of the laborers.

Superintendent of Streets.

we have not succeeded. The number allowed is based upon the general financial condition of the Town and its welfare burden.
The clothing and food distributed has proven a great help to many people, enabling them to use monies for other purposes than for the commodities received.
These commodities are for distribution to those in need of same regardless of any connection with W. P. A. or any other Federal work. Need is the only qualifying requirement.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Public Library of the Town of West Bridgewater :
I have the honor to submit herewith the report of the Librarian on the activities of the Library for the year ending December 31, 1938.
Outwardly, the high light of the year was the repaint- ing and redecorating (both inside and outside) of the Library building.
From behind the scenes, the outstanding events were the completion of the typing of juvenile fiction cards and the re-arrangement of books in the stacks to provide extra space for future additions to the book collections.
-110-
Book Collection
There were added during the year 357 books; 340 by purchase, and seventeen by gift. We are especially grateful for the gift of a modern Illustrated World His- tory, and a Garden Encyclopedia, both of which are proving useful and popular.
Circulation
The number of books circulated has been eminently satisfactory-40,170-a per capita circulation of 12.17. Of this total 45.06% were adult fiction, 23.49% adult non-fiction, and 31.45% juvenile books. This shows a normal proportion distributed in each department.
The circulation statistics for the year will be found appended on another page.
In conclusion, we wish to thank all who have, as ever, cooperated in the service and progress of the library; helpful trustees, a loyal staff, and a most considerate public.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLOTTE L. WILLIAMS
