REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Early in January a proposition was made to the Se- lectmen to furnish a stage curtain without cost to the Town. After some investigation, the offer was accepted and a curtain was provided as apparent to visitors of the Hall.
Several meetings were held with County Commis- sioners regarding Highways, contemplated for rebuild- ing in 1939, which however had to be laid over as the State Legislature, because of restricted funds, decided no Chapter 90 for the year 1940. This decision changed the plans and as the State allowed some repairs under Chapter 81, a new layout was necessary. It was finally arranged with the Department of Public Works that, working under Chapter 81, we might resurface Plain Street, widen and resurface East Center Street and widen and lower the grade on North Elm Street 3 feet by removing the bridge and filling the gap up to the new grade. Both the bridges on North Elm Street and Spring Street were sold. This work was planned, as reported in the 1939 report, to be done under Town supervision with WPA labor. The State Dept. of Public Works, however, secured a plan whereby the repairs, state-wide, could use local WPA labor and the work now in progress on this street is being done under this arrangement. Later, East Center Street will be repaired under the same plan.
Some time elapsed studying the advisability of how best to proceed to build the two additional offices. Sev- eral bids were received but it was finally decided to construct the same with WPA labor, also to repair the Vault, install a drainage system, curb the driveway and make such additional changes in the Selectmen's and Town Clerk's offices as necessary because of the addi- tional offices. This required some plastering, painting
104
and, because of the loss of windows in both rooms, a mechanical system of ventilation. The Vault, drainage and curbing was under the regular WPA funds. The offices and necessary changes were under WPA by spe- cial appropriation made at the Annual Town Meeting.
Several days prior to the April primaries one of the hot air furnaces collapsed and being beyond repair it was necessary to install some system of providing heat for the upper hall. Contact was made with several heating agents and finally a steam heating system was installed in the lower hall and later in the Fall extended to the upper hall.
An effort was made to secure an approved WPA project to paint the Town Hall, but failed. The policy of the WPA is to paint once, which had been done in " 1935, after which they deem it up to the municipality as maintenance costs to paint the buildings.
During the late Summer the spillway dam which controls the flow of water through the Park partly col- lapsed with the remaining part ready to give way under ice and water pressure. A WPA project has been for- warded to Washington for approval to properly rebuild this spillway which at the time of original construction must have been a makeshift job. The main dam rebuild in 1935 is apparently in perfect condition.
In turning the construction of North Elm Street at the Railroad Bridge over to the State Department of Public Works, we conceded that the steel bridge over the Town River on Forest Street, as proposed earlier, could not be constructed under the appropriation of Chapter 90. Also, it was decided that when this bridge is replaced it should be constructed of stone, thereby conserving not only the type of the other bridges over this stream but also the historic and scenic beauty. This is a matter for near future consideration as the bridge is narrow and not too safe for present day traffic.
At this writing, time is being spent with the County Commissioners and State Public Works relative to pro-
105
posed improvements to several of our highways, and with the Federal Government in the matter of rebuild- ing West Center Street from West Street to the Easton line. We may hope this will be accomplished during 1941-1942.
This Department has known for years that great in- convenience has been experienced in the Jerusalem Dis- trict because of the lack of early attention to snow storms. This has been because of insufficient equip- ment. This year the Machinery Account has permitted the purchase of an additional Snow Plow. With this added equipment arrangements have been made for immediate attention to the snow problem in the Jeru- salem District. Also this Machinery Account permitted the expenditure for a Sand Spreader which has long been needed and the order was placed for the same.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
During the year 1940 we have been fortunate in the low disease statistics shown by the records in this of- fice. In 1939 there were 72 cases of Measles alone reported and recorded. In 1940 only 3 cases of Measles, 4 cases of Chicken Pox, 2 cases of Mumps, 2 cases of Scarlet Fever, 1 case of Whooping Cough, 1 case of German Measles, and 1 case of Dog Bite not rabid. A total of 14 reportable cases in 1940 as against 77 cases in 1939.
The following extract from the Journal of the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health is not only in- teresting reading but very instructive. Cooperation with the authorities has almost eliminated several dis- eases which were expected annually in every commu- nity. With strict attention to the advice of the State Board and your local doctor much more can be done to protect the members of our families and prevent the spread of communicable diseases.
"It is encouraging to know that the parents are com- ing to regard measles as a serious disease. Too fre- quently in the past when a child developed the disease it was dismissed with the remark, 'It's only measles,' and the child was allowed to come and go at will. As a result, these children frequently suffered from a com- plication of measles or from another, superimposed contagious disease. Many times this neglect has meant either the death or serious crippling of the child.
Many parents still do not realize that measles is most dangerous to the extremely young. Statistics show that more than half of those who die of the disease have not reached their second birthday and nearly 80 out of 100 have not reached their fifth birthday. The situa-
107
tion was even worse in the ten years preceding 1930 when 90 out of 100 were under five years of age, but pro- tection of the very young has decreased the relative number of deaths at that age.
Statistics also show the remarkable drop in the deaths from measles in the last ten years. This decrease has been due in a large part to the better medical and nurs- ing care of measles cases as a result of the education of parents by physicians, public health workers, articles in public health bulletins, newspapers and magazines. Local boards of health have assumed their full share of this responsibility in many communities, requiring board of health physicians and communicable disease nurses to impress upon those in households where measles occur that good care of the patient is necessary, and that, if called early, the physician may be able to modify the disease in the exposed, susceptible family contacts.
We know from long experience that measles will return in epidemics to every community at more or less regular intervals. The larger the community or the" closer the town to a populous center the shorter the interval between epidemics. Since there is no method of preventing the return of the disease to the commu- nity, we must concentrate our efforts on postponing exposure in the young and on the care and treatment of those who become ill."

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Public Library :
I respectfully submit the report of the Public Library for 1940.
We are pleased to report an increase of over 1500 in the circulation of books for the year; due to several reasons; addition of more books, added interest in the reading of books for State Certificates by the grade pupils and the circulation of books in the Jerusalem District, thru the kindness of Miss Mary Nelson, teacher at the Jerusalem School.
116
An average of 15 persons use the library in the extra hour and a half that the library remains open on Sat- urdays. These hours will continue until further notice.
Under improvements was the installation of a new bulletin board for the outside of the building, made by Mr. Morton and the boys of the manual training class of the Centre School.
In September, Miss Barbara Merrill joined the staff as a part time assistant.
The staff has attended the various library meetings thru the year, in East Bridgewater, Boston and Quincy and gained helpful suggestions at each of them.
We have received a large number of gifts of books from interested patrons; an 11 vol. set "The Progress of Nations," a 20 vol. set "International Library of Famous Literature," a set of "Stoddard's Lectures," an illustrated copy of "American Wild Life" and a number of juvenile books of fiction; also many interesting pamphlets from various sources.
In conclusion, we thank the many friends of the Li- brary and our trustees for their understanding and helpfulness.
JEAN M. MURDOCK,
Librarian.

REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
The work of the Water Department during 1940 con- sisted largely of replacements of 2 inch mains with 6 inch mains. Wherever this was done, new hydrants, gates and fittings were installed. Also in many cases new services of copper were installed in the houses bordering on this work. The work was financed by a bond issue of the Town used for the purpose of buying pipe and material and the labor was furnished by the W. P. A. The following table shows the streets on which this work was done and the amount of pipe laid on each street :
