The tax collector has returned the 1931, 1932, 1933 and 1934 warrants on Real Estate, Poll Taxes, and Motor Ex- cise all collected. The 1931 collection was handled by four collectors and the 1932, 1933, and 1934 by three collectors. The town lost by the lax way in which the collections were handled and a large number of abate- ments were necessarily made which if handled prop- erly could have been collected.
The Board would like to call your attention to the fact that the 1937 Poll taxes were all collected before the end of the year. This is as it should be, and we ask your cooperation with the collector in seeing that your Poll taxes and Motor Excise taxes are paid in thirty days from date of bill. If not so paid, the collector must collect according to state law and extra charges are made. Real Estate taxes should also be paid at as early a date as possible.

EIGHTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
WILLIAM J. LEONARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY
By vote of the town meeting, March, 1937, the name of the Ridge Hill Library was changed to William J. Leonard Memorial Library in recognition of Mr. Leon- ard's services in starting and carrying on this institu- tion.
The circulation during the past year has increased largely, having risen to 2464 volumes, which is unusual for a library of its size and resources. The trustees feel that it is doing an important work in the west end of town, both for the school children and for adult readers.
Since January, 1936, 124 volumes have been added, 86 by purchase and 38 by gift, including 25 presented by the State Library Division.
The library has been open throughout the school year from 2:30 to 4:30 and from 7 to 8 p.m. During the summer vacation it was open during the evening hour only. It is free to all citizens of the town.

FORESTRY
The work in the Town Forest in 1937 has been con- fined to pruning and weeding in the forest north of the old high school ground. The appearance of this forest is very much improved and its prospective value for timber production, as well as its recreational value greatly increased.
Mr. Bruce has inspected the trees planted two years ago by the W.P.A. on the George Washington Memorial Town Forest on Circuit Street, and reports that they are looking well and have made a satisfactory growth. C. A. Bruce, 50 hours $25.00

FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Board of Fire Engineers wish to call the atten- tion of all residents, particularly those in the Hanover and Rockland telephone exchanges, that in case of fire they should call "Emergency-Norwell Fire Depart- ment" and give their name and street. Much time can be saved if this method is followed.
Please do not call the telephone operator when the fire alarm sounds as the operator is very busy making necessary calls.
