Police assistance to out-of-town officers.

Property reported stolen (value) $685
Property recovered (value) . $475
During March the Police Station was moved from the Town Hall to South Hamilton. This change has proven to be a great improvement. An Officer is on duty every evening from 5 P. M. until midnight, and longer if conditions require. It provides Police protection in the most thickly settled and business district of town. The office affords one the opportunity to discuss complaints and problems with the Officer in private, and not on the street corner or in some doorway as was formerly necessary. It is accessible for the questioning of persons involved in, or suspected of criminal acts. It is also possible to reach the Officer by telephone without having to depend upon the private telephones of the business places around the "square."
Present-day conditions continually increase the necessity of a town- owned combination Ambulance and Police Patrol car. Such a machine would greatly assist the work of the Police Department, especially in con- veying persons suffering from sickness and accidental injuries to the hos- pitals.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen and all citizens of the Town of Hamilton for their assistance during the past year. I want to thank Mrs. Constance Williams, my employer, for her continued cooperation in allowing me to leave my duties at her estate at any time to attend to Police duties. Also I extend my appreciation to the Officers of the Police Department for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD FREDERICK
Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton: GENTLEMEN :
The Board of Park Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1941.
We have continued the usual maintenance work at Memorial Green, Cutler and Chebacco Parks. The Cannons on Memorial Green were given a coat of paint.
It was necessary to close the Ball Diamond at the Dorothy Winthrop Memorial Park to permit re-seeding, watering and proper care to ensure a good growth of grass.
We again engaged Mr. Loring Cook as Superintendent of the Parks. His efficient performance of the duties is most apparent. We extend to him our sincere appreciation for the interest he has taken.
We wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and all other persons who have assisted us during the past year.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
GREETINGS :
The Cemetery Commissioners submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1941.
The Main Avenue of the old part of the Cemetery has been oiled this year thereby taking considerable of the amount of our appropriation which we allotted to improvements. The balance of this was spent for loam and labor to carry on our schedule of constructing new lots from year to year, thus keeping ahead of the constant demand for new lots.
The interest rate of the endowments held by the Town for perpetual care has decreased to such an extent that the appropriation had to be in- creased fifty dollars this year, to offset the low rate.
We wish to thank all who have assisted our Department this past year.
Respectfully submitted,
LAWRENCE LAMSON LAWRENCE C. FOSTER RAYMOND A. WHIPPLE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The Trustees of the Public Library attempted with some success during the past year to make the townspeople increasingly aware of their excellent library facilities. In response to a general interest in, and demand for litera- ture dealing with the war world, the Trustees provided the best works of this nature. As an experiment to encourage more use of the library a larger percentage than usual of worthwhile current fiction and non-fiction was added, and accessories in juvenile literature were numerous and note- worthy. In a further attempt to stimulate library interest, reports on newly acquired books were submitted to the local newspapers from time to time, a practice favorably noted by many citizens. A survey of periodical subscriptions has been conducted, duplications and little-sought magazines discontinued, and others of greater merit added.
With regard to absence of a librarian necessitated by illness the Trustees in March of 1941 adopted the following rule. "In view of the limited funds at the Board's disposal it is voted that responsibility be incurred for remu- nerating a librarian's substitute only to the extent of two weeks in a single instance, and only for an aggregate four weeks in any given year."
37
Repairs and improvements during 1941 include added shelves at both branches. At South Hamilton book cases were rearranged to provide a second door for emergency exit as well as ventilation. A magazine rack has also been added to the reading room equipment at South Hamilton, and stove and screen repairs authorized. We Trustees have had under consideration an oil burner for the upper branch to eliminate the basement coal storage trapdoor and provide added floor space for new stacks, in answer to the urgent need for space. This project has been deferred to a more propitious time, but appears to be a sound one.
The Trustees have been happy to allow the soldiers stationed at Town Hall the complete facilities of that library branch, inasmuch as a strict set of regulations governing this privilege is observed. The men have cooperated splendidly, and have frequently voiced their gratification.
In conclusion the Trustees are pleased to thank their able and consci- entious librarians for their customary gracious and devoted service.
Respectfully submitted, BEATRICE B. HOLMES, Chairman ROLAND W. PAYNE JOHN NEARY, Secretary
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
To the Trustees of the Public Library:
Herewith is presented the forty-ninth annual report.
Our circulation is still going down with a loss of 2,280 over 1940. Better times and more employment resulting in less leisure for reading, and the various activities brought on by the conditions in our country due to the war, are the probable causes for this decrease in circulation.
The circulation of books for 1941 was 15,935; at the Main Library 4,073, a loss of 870; at the Branch Library 11,862, a loss of 2,280. Circulation of magazines was 1,704; at the Main Library 1,031, Branch Library 673.
In December Co. A and Co. F, of the 101st Field Artillery U. S. A., were billeted at the Town Hall. Our library and reading room have proved a great boon to them, offering a place for quiet reading and writing. It is a pleasure to see so many of our soldiers using the library.
The hours are still the same: at the Main Library Wednesday and Sat- urday, 3-5 and 6:30 to 8:30 P. M .; and at the Branch Library, Tuesday and Friday, 3-5 and 6 : 45-8 : 45 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,
LYDIA L. HARADEN,
Librarian.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
Greetings : The Board of Public Welfare submits herewith its report for the year ending December 31, 1941.
For the second year the expenditures under the direction of Board of Public Welfare have shown a substantial decline.
In the previous year, the savings gained were more than offset by a corresponding increase in Old Age Payments, whereas during the year 1941, with a smaller appropriation to work with, the sum of $2,920.38 was turned back to the Town. In addition to the above, the current year will be the first since the Old Age Assistance law has been established that it will not be necessary to increase this appropriation.
The most encouraging part of these savings is that more of our residents are now gainfully employed, and are in a position to support themselves. This condition for many will last for the duration of the war. It is hoped that as many as possible will buy with their extra earnings Defense Bonds, thereby helping their country, and as a further means of protection against the depression which is sure to come after the war.
Allowing for the above improved conditions, the capable and cooperative manner in which our Agent has performed his duties has in no small measure contributed to the lowered costs. We are pleased to report that during the year Mr. Whipple has passed with high honors the State Examination for Public Welfare Agents and is now assured of Civil Service protection.
His report will follow this one.
Your Board extends its thanks to all who have cooperated with us during the past year.

AGENT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Board of Public Welfare:
Having in mind the tendency to curtail on material and expenses I will endeavor to make this, my report for the year ending December 31, 1941, as concise as possible.
There has been a noticeable reduction in the amount expended for Gen- eral Relief in 1941 as compared with previous years. This is attributed partly to persons obtaining employment and partly to the transfer of cases to other categories of relief. In most instances employable cases have re- quired assistance for a short period to help out while seeking employment. Unemployable cases have required continued assistance.
An increase over last year in the amount expended for old age assistance is due to an increased number of persons receiving this type of assistance.
As a result of the acceptance of new cases and the transfer of cases from other categories, Aid to Dependent Children shows an increase in expenditures over last year.
The receipt of Federal Grants, reimbursements by the State, Cities, Towns and recoveries from individuals, considerably reduced the net cost to this Town on all types of assistance.
The State Department has maintained the policy of acting in a super- visory capacity, with Mr. Roy D. Merchant serving as agent in this district. At the time of writing this report, I am advised that Mr. Merchant has re- ceived a promotion to Supervisor of Settlements and will be located in Bos- ton. I extend to him my sincere appreciation for the valuable assistance he has so generously rendered me. And I wish him every possible success in his new position.
40
The judgment and guidance of our Town Council in problems of a legal nature continue to be of great importance.
The services so capably rendered by Miss Haynes, our local Visiting Nurse, have been most generous and appreciative.
Likewise the cooperation received from Dr. Corcoran and Dr. Larchez, the local physicians, has been very valuable in handling the medical problems.
I express my appreciation to you, members of the Board of Public Wel- fare, for your continued assistance and cooperation during the entire year.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS H. WHIPPLE

The value of surplus commodities delivered to the high school cafeteria was $522.09, a corresponding saving to the School Department.
The Moth Project was operated during the winter months.
As soon as weather permitted a bituminous concrete sidewalk was laid as follows, 1,136 ft. on Union Street, 688 ft. on Linden Street and 559 ft. on Willow Street.
After the allotment for sidewalks was expended, Arthur Avenue was rebuilt and was top surfaced by the Highway Department.
The balance of the year was devoted to the installation of a mile of water main on Durham Avenue, Chestnut Street and Bridge Street. This addition furnished water to twelve families, also fire protection and a sub- stantial reduction in insurance rates.
The Record Project was finished November 25, 1941. The Town now has a splendid copy of all the old Town Records, including the old church records which are practically illegible from age. A complete copy of all births, mar- riages and deaths was also made from 1638 to the present time.
The workers on this project deserve a great deal of credit for the work they have accomplished as a majority of the records had to be copied by the aid of a magnifying glass.
The Survey Project was completed December 31st. The Town now has an accurate wall map which has been placed in the Selectmen's office. A set of block maps has also been completed for use on a future project.
Perhaps the most beneficial project with far reaching results into the future is the school lunch project which was installed in the Jonathan Lamson School in December and will shortly be extended to the Adelaide Walsh school. This provides a substantial hot lunch daily for between 150 and 200 children, who heretofore have had to rely on cold lunches brought from home. We are assured by the school authorities that at this early period a pick-up is apparent in the children's work and appearance.
Projects for many worthwhile enterprises have been submitted to the State office for approval and we feel confident we will have the same consid- eration as in the past.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen and the Surveyor of Highways for their cooperation and assistance during the past year.

Measles
1 Scarlet fever 1
Dog bite

Lobar pneumonia 5
Mumps
1
Whooping cough 1
German measles

$ 12,689 22
Balance December 31, 1941, per statement
44
Due to the ever increasing change over from private to town water supply only three inspections were made and sent to the State Department for analysis.
The increase in the appropriation for the Board of Health for 1941 was due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. However this year the outlook is somewhat better and if things remain as they are we should be able to conduct our affairs with $200.00 less.
It was with regret the Board accepted the resignation of George Gibney Haraden, many years Clerk of the Board. His knowledge of the health laws and willingness to be of service aided greatly the work of this Board. Francis H. Whipple was appointed to fill the vacancy.
In closing we wish to thank all those who in any way assisted this De- partment during the year.
