REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
We are pleased to submit herewith the Assessors annual report for the year ending December 31, 1951.
The following comparative statistics will give you a very clear picture of how our town is growing and all indications point to a further substan- tial increase for 1952.
Total Valuation
1949 $6,038,280.
1950 $6,323,100. 1,059
1951 $6,605.585. 1,100
State taxing authorities have advised us that the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax for 1952 will be at the rate of $48.25 per thousand. Local assessors have no jurisdiction over this rate or on the assessed valuation placed upon your car. In the event that you sell or transfer a motor vehicle, proof of the transaction must be presented to the assessors before any abatement of the excise tax may be granted.
Statues now provide that all male persons 65 years of age or older may claim exemption from the payment of a poll tax, providing they file such a claim on a prescribed form which may be obtained at our office.
A new law has been enacted, effective in 1952, exempting up to $5,000. the household effects of a resident providing he applies for such exemption on a form prescribed by the Commissioner of Taxation. This form is also available at the Assessors Office.

Assistance to out of town police 42
The Cruiser-Ambulance is nearly five years old and has given a lot of valuable service. It is necessary to keep this car in good condition in order that it may be available for use at a moments notice. The cost of maintenance, as may be expected, increases as the automobile grows older. Therefore, I recommend that a new Cruiser-Ambulance be purchased to replace the one now in use.
I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the Police Officers, Town Officials and all others who have assisted me in the performance of my duties during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD FREDERICK,
Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
The objective of your Civil Defense Agency, in its first full year of operation, has been to set up soundly and unspectacularly the fundamentals of a community defense program. Public rallies and practice emergency signals have not as yet been attempted in a conscious effort to avoid the anti-climactic. But steady, step-by-step progress, endorsed by the Advisory Council in regular meeting and fully reported in the public press, has, I feel, been achieved.
The Protection Unit under Assistant Director Lawrence Lamson has become a formidable organization with the co-operation of Police Chief Frederick and Fire Chief A. Merrill Cummings. As Chief Frederick's deputy, Marshall D. Gero heads a group of 21 Auxiliary Police who have been meeting regularly for instruction and target practice, as well as occa- sionally assisting in community police work. In addition to the above activities, the group is affiliated with The North Shore Auxiliary Police Revolver League, and participate in weekly competitive practice. Once again we are indebted to the Beverly Police Department for the whole- hearted support and encouragement they are giving our Unit. Fire Chief Cummings is training 21 Explorer Scouts as Auxiliary Firemen in emerg- ency techniques.
Selectman Everett F. Haley, Dr. Henry F. Larchez and Miss Clemen- tina Haynes, visiting nurse, Assistant Directors of the Medical and Health Unit, have registered 31 nurses who meet with Miss Haynes for instruction and discussion of their duties. The group includes Registered Nurses, as well as Special and Domestic Nurses. Pamphlets on "Protection from the Atomic Bomb" were delivered to every Hamilton home last spring by the Girl Scouts, whose co-operation was most helpful.
The Welfare Unit, with Assistant Directors Mrs. Oliver Wolcott and Mrs. B. Preston Cutler, have drawn up plans for emergency feeding and clothing. A special housing subdivision, directed by Mrs. Francis P. Sears and Mrs. John F. Neary with a committee of 30, completed a meticulous house-to-house canvass to ascertain available beds, blankets, cooking uten- sils, etc., for use in case of emergency.
A survey of available local station wagons, trucks, tractors and bull- dozers was made and recorded by the Public Works Unit, of which Select- man Edward A. DeWitt and Gordon L. Thompson are Assistant Directors. Plans for emergency route traffic control stations at the junction of Main and Asbury Streets, and Woodbury and Essex Streets, have been made.
The Communications Unit under Mrs. Ruth F. Donaldson has in- spected the methods and facilities of neighboring towns and municipalities. At present, your Director is negotiating for the possible purchase of a
standard Civil Defense radio receiver, which could be a useful police asset when not in emergency use. In the meantime, Messrs. Haszard and Camp- bell of the Wenham Communications Unit have been most co-operative with the result that we have been covered at all times.
During May and June an American Red Cross Standard First Aid Course was conducted with Miss Eleanor Broadhead of Salem as instructor. Public reception was enthusiastic with some 37 in attendance overall, of whom 20 graduated and received American National Red Cross First Aid Certificates. Currently, an Advanced First Aid Course is being conducted for certificate holders by Mrs. Grover Winn of Beverly. It is hoped that in this way a group of local instructors will eventually be available, and that further Standard Courses may then be regularly scheduled. At the present time, a Standard First Aid Course for every High School pupil has been organized, and your Civil Defense Agency has assisted in the procurement of textbooks. Mrs. Jeanette Houle and Carl J. Martini of the High School Faculty are directing this work which will eventually train over 175 pupils.
For the Town as a whole, the entire Civil Defense organization com- prises 154 citizens, most of whom have submitted the required oath cards. As your Director, I am in constant communication with State Headquarters and have attended Regional meetings bearing upon inter-community emergency co-operation. I have found the citizens of Hamilton, without exception, heartily co-operative in all that I have undertaken; and this attitude has been most helpful to me and to those who assist me. May I, at this time, sincerely thank the Selectmen, the members of my Advisory Council. the Assistant Directors and all the public-spirited workers who have lent a hand. Much remains to be done, but, reassured by the fine spirit I have encountered on every hand, I feel confident that our problems will eventually be resolved. That our efforts could prove necessary, an eventuality for which we all devoutly pray, will have no bearing upon our determination to see our full Civil Defense program carried through.
In conclusion, it is my sad duty, and a matter of deep personal sorrow, to chronicle the passing of our esteemed Deputy Director, the late Leland D. Thompson. It was my privilege to serve with Mr. Thompson in similar capacities during the second World War, as well as to know him intimately over many years in Hamilton. From this association I can say with deepest conviction that never has an individual served his community with greater zeal and devotion. We, and all of Hamilton, shall miss his warm personal- ity, his energy and his commonsense counsel. We salute him as we mourn him.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN H. PERKINS.
Director.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
Overall book circulation of the Hamilton Library for 1951 was sub- stantially that of the previous year, according to the succeeding Librarian's Report. This is encouraging, in view of appreciable losses recorded in the past two reports. and for lack of a better reason attributed to the rivalry of television. It is interesting that a circulation loss at the branch library in the village is balanced in a relative way by an increase at the main library. This may well be due, of course, to the sizable number of new dwellings erected during the past year in the Hamilton Center area.
The Trustees feel that the Book Selection Committee has proved its worth during 1951, and has resulted in a more comprehensive choice of literature to meet all tastes. Mr. Melvin F. Reid has done excellent work as chairman of this group, and library officials are very grateful to him.
In an effort to cope with our well-known bookshelf limitations, the Trustees have arranged for the construction of several mobile bookcases at the South Hamilton Branch, and are happy to report that economy is being served by having the work done in the Manual Training Department of the High School. Both Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Milton C. Blanchard, and Mr. Marshall D. Gero of the Faculty, have been highly co-operative in this project, and the Trustees are sincerely grateful to them. One shelf unit has already been completed and reflects much credit on the boys who did the work as well as their instructor, Mr. Gero. The Library Trustees feel that this co-operative enterprise, with Town De- partments joining hands to mutual advantage, productively and financially, merits the attention of the townspeople.
The possibility of the Lamson School supplying the much-discussed central library for Hamilton (when that building has been supplanted by the new school) has been a current topic. The Trustees of the Library are naturally interested, but realize that many factors are involved, and the possibility somewhat remote, if engaging.
We are happy to have this annual opportunity to express our thanks to our diligent veteran Librarians, Mrs. Haraden and Mrs. Perley, for their faithful service during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
BEATRICE B. HOLMES SARAH H. TRUSSELL JOHN F. NEARY

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Public Library :
Herewith is presented the fifty-ninth annual report.
The circulation of books for 1951 was 11,596: at the Main Library 4,309; at the Branch Library 7,287. This represents a decline at the Branch Library of 1,194 and a gain at the Main Library of 881. This represents a loss of 313 as against the circulation of 1950.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton :
The Board of Park Commissioners herwith submit the report for the year ending December 31, 1951.
A very successful playground season closed August 23rd with an out- ing held at Canobie Lake Amusement Park in Salem, N. H.
There were 160 children registered at the playground and during the season particpated in the following activities: archery, badminton, base- ball, checkers, croquet, decathelon, handicraft, ping-pong, softball and tennis, under the supervision of Miss Frances Buckley, Gelean Campbell and Mrs. Freda Colwell.
This summer 62 small children registered with a 75% attendance. This group played games and used the park equipment.
In handicraft period all ages made attractive articles such as gimp bracelets, figurines and pot holders.
The boys baseball team had a very active schedule of nine games.
The girls softball team had a 5 game schedule.
On Tuesday morning throughout the season an instructor was present at the Roosevelt Ave. Playground to supervise games and teach handicraft to children from 4 to 8 years old. This group held their final party on Tuesday, August 21 when refreshments were served. Ribbons were awarded the winners by Albert Lougee, Park Board Member.
Special events during the season consisted of a weekly beach party at Crane's Beach, a picnic at Wingersheek Beach, sponsored by the Mother's Club, a Weenie Roast at Patton Park, and Outing at Canobie Lake.
All tournaments were held the week of August 13th, finals were played off during the week of August 20.
A Weenie Roast was held for all children who regularly attended the Playground and the new grill purchased by the Park Department was greatly enjoyed. This grill can be used by any organization in Hamilton, at Patton Park, by making arrangements with Mr. James Goodrich, Supt.
At the conclusion of this party awards to winners of the tournament were presented by Mr. Philip Hopkins, chairman of the Park Board. Spe- cial awards were made to Barbara Liscomb and Charles Dolliver for attend- ance and all round good sportsmanship.
The instructors wish to express their appreciation to Supt. James Goodrich for his kindness and efficiency in keeping all equipment and play- ing fields in excellent condition during the season.
The Park Commission wish to thank the Town Officials, all other de- partments and the Citizens of the Town for their fine co-operation in mak- ing this a very successful year.
Respectfully submitted, PHILIP HOPKINS RAY M. SANFORD ALBERT LOUGEE Park Commissioners.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Hamilton:
The Cemetery Commissioners submit herewith their report for the year ending December 31, 1951.
Thirty-five interments were cared for by the Superintendent.
Nine family size lots and one single endowed grave were sold.
We believe the water supply will be adequate for some years to come, 937 feet of two inch, 150 feet of inch and one quarter, and 750 feet of one inch pipe were laid. This arrangement gives a good supply of water cover- ing the area from Main street to Oak Avenue.
The shade trees on the Main avenue were trimmed, a few dead Maples and some old Pines had to be removed due to the hazard they created.
It will be necessary in 1952 to ask that money be transferred from the Cemetery Sale of Lots and Graves Fund, to develop more family size lots. The increase in sales the last five years has made it advisable to have more land ready.
The cooperation given the Cemetery by the various Town departments is greatly appreciated.
We wish to thank our Superintendent, Phillip S. Plummer who has performed his duties so conscientiously.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND A. WHIPPLE LAWRENCE C. FOSTER JOHN T. WALKE Cemetery Commissioners.
62
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their Annual Report for the year ending December 31st. 1951.
The 12th full year of operation of the system finds the Department with an increase of 68 new services. New extension of about 700' was car- ried out on Lincoln Avenue this past year and the pipe was purchased for the laying of the mains on Essex Street which are to be installed during this coming year.
