Forestry
As no appropriation was made for Town Forests this year, there is not much to report.
Workers under the ERA cleaned up a considerable portion of The George Washington Memorial Forest on Circuit Street and from this several cords of wood was available for Public Welfare. They did some further work in the lot back of the Central School.
Mr. Cochran attended the annual conference of Town Forest Committees, held in conjunction with the Massa- chusetts Forest and Park Association in Pembroke and Plymouth and in the Myles Standish State Forest.

IMPROVEMENTS
Fire House No. 1 has been sheathed with celotex, in- suring greater protection in winter.
At Fire House No. 2 a Chevrolet truck, equipped for forest fire work, replaces the old Hudson.
The Ford has 350 feet of new 11/2 inch hose, which gives us a total of 800 feet.
The balance of last year's appropriation was insuf- · ficient to purchase the pump which the Engineers ap- proved and so was not used.
