ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS
Franklin, Mass, Jan. 1, 1941.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Town of Franklin,
Franklin, Mass.
The Fire Department responded to 101 alarms during the year 1940.
The fire loss was unusually low for the number of fires.
We remodelled the air tanks to comply with the State law during the year, also, some needed repairs were made at the Fire Station.
We recommend 9,800.00 for the year 1941.
Respectfully submitted,
LESLIE S. WIGGIN, G. F. RIBERO, CONNOR J. POND,

ANNUAL REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN
-
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Town of Franklin,
Franklin, Mass.
The following is the annual report of your Forest Fire Warden :
This Department was fortunate this season in having no very extensive fires. We were helped by the weather conditions a great part of the time.
We are favored with equipment and a chance for a fast get away that is second to no town of about the same size and have had a very fast lot of young men who like action. The Department responded to 47 alarms, 3 of them were adjoining towns.
I believe it is better to put them out quickly with a larger force than burn a lot of country with a smaller force. It has proved less expensive.
Some of the work in the woods done by WPA was only half done and some of the roads have not been cleared, so that they might be a handicap in case of fire.
Our tank truck was rebuilt this season and a new pump was installed, replacing one of smaller size that had been in service for twelve years.
It is very necessary at this time that we add at least 1500 feet of one inch hose and recommend that $500.00 be used for that purpose.
43
Estimated amount for the season of 1941 is $1700.00 to include the purchase of hose and Warden's salary.
Respectfully submitted,
G. F. RIBERO, Forest Fire Warden.

ANNUAL REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
Franklin, Mass. December 31, 1940
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Due to the bad ice storm early in March 1940. a con- siderable amount of money for labor was used to clean the town of brush and for the removal of dangerous broken branches.
We have trimmed about six hundred trees in town, including the Union Street Cemetery. We also did con- siderable work on the Franklin Common this year, trim- ming trees and shrubs. Some open cavity work was also done. All cuts and cavities were treated and painted. The work was done by the W. P. A. and supervised by myself.
64
There are a great many trees in town with large cavi- ties that require attention and quite a few that really ought to be removed and replaced with young trees.
We used about twenty-five gallons of tree paint, and bought five axes, one cross-cut, one hand saw, and one pole saw.
There is quite a lot of trimming to be done and an enormous amount of cavity work that should be taken care of.
