During the past year members of the police depart- ment have been in attendance at 104 private affairs held in the town and also 74 regular duty calls.
I will add that it has always been my desire in the past to gain restitution first, in cases of larceny, and in the past year it has been my privilege to aid materially the departments near this town in cases of the loss of automobiles, and which resulted in the recovery of two machines belonging to citizens of this town worth sev- eral hundred dollars. I will also venture to add that negotiations for restitution are now going on in a case now pending in the courts.
In concluding my report, I wish to thank the Honor- able Board of Selectmen for their co-operation, the Judge of the Municipal Court for his advice, and the officers of the department for their help to further the efforts of this department, and to the citizens in general I wish to extend my appreciation.
Respectfullly submitted, JOHN J. MONTEITH, Chief of Police.

Shepard Park Commission
Milford, N. H., February7, 1920 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Milford :
It is evident from the following report of expendi- tures that the principal expense of the past year has been for care rather than for any additions made at Shepard Park. The expense for nursery stock was to replace trees seriously injured, and in some cases actually killed, by the extreme winter of 1917-1918, and there are yet a few trees that, while they are living, we think it would be advisable to replace with new vigorous trees.
Of course it will be necessary to maintain the Park in condition to be ornamental rather than otherwise, to clear weeds from the walks, rake off the trash of winter and each year add some fertilizer. The rope in the flag pole is worn out and it will be necessary to replace it with a new rope; also to replace the backstop at the baseball field which has been blown down by winter gales.
The balance on hand at the beginning of the year 1919 was $32.75. Appropriation for that year was $25, and balance at present time in hands of the committee is $8.51, making the expenditures during the past year approximately $50.
We consider this about a normal year, and therefore would recommend that the sum of $50 be raised and appropriated for the care and maintenance of the Park during the coming year.
P. R. WOODMAN THOMAS F. O'NEIL JOHN F. PIROVANO, Clerk Shepard Park Committee.

Report of Water Commissioners
To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners :
I herewith submit my report for the year 1919.
Owing to the high cost of labor, material and fuel and a large general repair bill, we finish the year with a very small balance.
