Work left from the flood of 1955 was completed during 1956. The installation of a storm drain on West Street which was started last year by our Highway Department was completed this year. The construction of the new Maple Street Bridge, and the reconstruction of the Willow Street Bridge were also completed. New Health Rules and Regulations were adopted by the Town in July, and work was started clearing off the site for our new Municipal Parking lot, near the railroad station, which when completed will take care of three hundred' cars. We were unable to build our new Highway garage in 1956. We had Planned that enough gravel and 'fill would be removed from our site for the 1956 Chapter 90 project so that it would not be necessary for the town to do any excavating, as this would cost the town approximately $5,000.00. Due to the fact that the 1956 Chapter 90 project was postponed until 1957, it was decided to wait another year in order to save the expense of excavation. Our grade crossing elimination program is fast nearing completion. The North Main Street underpass is already open for traffic, and soon after the first of the year the new Route 140 will be completed. It is predicted that the Chauncy Street underpass will be opened by July 1,' 1957. I wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who cooperated and made the year 1956 a progressive one in so many ways. I would like to extend my personal thanks to the members of the Board of Selectmen for their inter- est support and cooperation. CECIL O.

After 17 years of service the plant has reached about 40 per cent of its designed capacity; figured on the basis of population loading and in relation to the growth of the Town '(730 persons increase 1945 to 1955) there appears to be no immediate danger of exceeding the capacity based on connected pop- ulation. The history of the plant on the basis of hydraulic capacity presents an entirely different problem, however, on account of excessive ground water flows during certain seasons of the year, and from the best information available, these periods of high flow have occurred annually with upsetting effect on the operating efficiency of the plant and the overtopping of certain manholes. The main sewer approaching the plant through private land from Hall Street has a designed capa- city of two million gallons per day flowing 161/4 inches in depth and this volume can be passed through the plant without difficulty, even with the retarding effect of operating units such as the Venturi meter and comminutors. W en made of maxim t' works. It has been determined, however, on numerous occa- sions, that the maximum hydraulic capacity has been exceeded, as evidenced. by the overflow from manholes. A survey of the sewer system made in 1951 out- lines in detail the location of infiltration of ground water in sewer pipes and manholes. There is no question as `to the advisability of eliminating as many of these leaks as may be economically possible. Our experience, however, indicates that distributed leakage is impracticable to overcome to any appre- ciable 'extent and we are recommending certain additions and changes at the plant to overcome the difficulties and maintain satisfactory operation. As previously stated, the existing plant was de- signed to provide for a maximum rate of sewage flow of 675,000 gallons per day. It has been deter- mined from available information that about three million gallons per day can be passed without over- topping the comminutor channels and that any rate of flow in excess of three, million gallons per day has been relieved by overflowing; the main' sewer manhole covers. In our opinion the existing plant should not be operated at rates much in excess of one-half' million gallons per day, which is approximately the flow reaching the plant at this time; limited to this rate adequate primary and 'secondary treatment can be effected for any population load foreseeable in the immediate future. Provision for the excess flows which occur during periods of high ground water must in our opinion be made through use -of the meter and comminutor by-pass or the construction of additional primary settling capacity and we recommend that to insure the treatment of all the sewage reaching the plant and to prevent the overflow of the main sewer and complaints from' downstream property owners—a new tank be built adjacent to the administration building and Imhoff tank with the necessary pipe connections and control devices. Such an arrangement is shown on the accompany- ing drawing in relation to the existing plant units and can be briefly described as including a primary settling tank of reinforced concrete construction divided in duplicate units, complete with mechanical scraping devices for collecting the sludge, and with an arrangement for the continuous removal of the ivered to the exist- of concrete structures, waterproofing, paint- wage.

Industrialized Mansfield maintains one of the finest Fire Departments in any town` of its size in Massachusetts; six permanent drivers and 40 call firefighters under a full-time chief; Central and West Mansfield fire stations; seven trucks,' chief's ranch wagon, pick-up truck for delivering oxygen tent and for other emergency service; rescue boat; fire alarm system with 53 street signal boxes. Town's investment in rolling stock is approximately $76,000; today's replacement value close to $150,000. Shown above in front of Central Station are principal officers, some of the trucks, and deluxe ambulance. Standing in first row, left to right: Lieut.

Photo by Richard Yager Fire Department It is my privilege and pleasure to present to, you the annual report of the Mansfield Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1956. I extend my thanks to the Board of Fire Engin- eers and other Town Officers for their support and assistance in promoting the welfare of the depart- ment and to the permanent and "call" men. Buildings New overhead doors have been installed at the Central Station which is a vast improvement in the heating of the apparatus room and should be a saving in the amount of fuel consumed. In 1956 there was the amount of $300.00 for re -piping a new water line from the street to the rear of the building as our present water line is filled with rust. This amount has not been spent as I could not get the job done this year. I am returning the $300.00 17 and asking for it again this year. This should be a two inch copper pipe as we fill our tanks on the trucks inside the building during the cold weather. I am asking for $200.00 to paint the floors and a few small jobs at the Central Station and the West Mansfield Station as the latter station needs new paint on the front doors. The lighting system in the apparatus room at the Central Station should be changed and new fluorescent lights installed at the cost of $300.00.

Elementary School Facilities The adequacy of our elementary school facilities is now being. studied by the Committee To Study Elementary School Facilities which was appointed at the 1956 Town Meeting. Its activities to date are discussed separately in the Town Report. Space Plus Modernization Current enrollment projections alone will not sub- stantiate a continued school building program in Mansfield. It is necessary to think of the adequacy of our facilities as well as the available "space". It has been my opinion that the townspeople are fairly well acquainted with our elementary school buildings. Several of these buildings are serving their purposes quite well. Others are giving limited educational service. The Spaulding School raises 25 teacher, but we still must provide suitable school buildings. Total efficiency of industry also, depends primarily on personnel, but this has not done, away with new plant development. Actually a suitable school building becomes a tool of education just as does a suitable building for a given industry. Modern school buildings provide facilities such as multi-purpose rooms, playrooms, guidance suites, audio-visual suites, and other areas which generally were not even part of the educational vocabulary twenty-five years ago. It is not true that an equal- ly successful program can be obtained either in the presence or absence of modern school facilities. It is no more true than it would be to make the same claim for an obsolete v.s. modern industrial plant.

Curriculum Again this year, we are offering a Review Math course for College Preparatory students in their senior year. = It is given to those students who are not taking Solid Geometry and Trigonometry their senior year so they can review their Algebra and Plane Geometry before going to college. Some ad- vanced Algebra topics will be included and Trigo- nometry will be introduced. In addition to offering an opportunity for review, it gives an 'opportunity for a student to improve his marks in Algebra and Plane Geometry. Clerical Practice is offered along with Sales in the senior year of the Business Curriculum. This was started last year in the place of Advertising. Students may take Senior General Math for the first half year and Clerical Practice for the second half year or Sales for the first half and General Math for the second half year.

This Committee was directed by the 1956 Annual Town Meeting 'i to study six specific aspects of our elementary school building situation. These tentative findings are concerned with two of the six aspects, i. e., condition of present buildings and possibilities of expansion of these buildings. Each building was studied by a Sub -Committee. The facts of each report have the concurrence, of the total Committee. PAINE SCHOOL Site This one-story building is in an approximate half acre of land. The building is accgssible to the pop- ulation being served and in a.good environment. There is no parking space provided. More impor- tant the building location is extremely bad now because of the new traffic situation. Building The 'building is properly placed on the site so as to have maximum use of natural lighting. The workmanship was sound in all respects. Built in 1911, ;,it has been well preserved through repairs. It can not be readily expanded because of the design and site limitations. Further improvement might be made to stairways as to fireproofing. The toilets are in the basement area, and although well kept they should be located in the immediate area of the classroom. Service Systems A new oil burner was installed in 1951 with reset controls. The ventilating system is the old-fash- ioned gravity type. Water service is adequate ex- cept for absence of hot water on classroom level. Additional drinking fountains might be considered. The toilet situation should be re -studied especially as to location. The fire alarm system is entirely adequate being quite new and modern. All other services, including telephone are adequate in extent. We suggest the telephone be a single line rather than a party line. JOHN BERRY SCHOOL This three-room building was built in 1915. There is adequate floor space for thirty children in each of the three rooms. There is a usable, small stage in conjunction with the large hallway, also used as an auditorium. Survey Committee January 1, 1957 been needed. There is a hard -surfaced area for play purposes adequate for the present' size of the building. In addition there is a very large, cleared field which could be used for school purposes. There. is also an uncleared wooded area of approximately two and one half acres which is town owned property. Building The building is well located for all purposes in- cluding use of natural light. Because of the con- struction ideas of that time the windows are quite small. Perhaps remodelling to increase window size should be analyzed. This brick building is in excel- lent condition. It will lend itself readily to ex- pansion. Service Systems, All service systems are in good condition. A new oil burner was installed in 1948. The ventilating system is ` adequate. Some improvement might be made in drinking fountain facilities. The toilet rooms are adequate for present size of building. A new fire alarm system was recently installed. SPAULDING SCHOOL Site The Spaulding School is located on a small plot of land of approximately 7,000 square feet. It is ''de- sirably located geographically according to, the area it now serves. Because of the present highway alterations near the school, the location is now extremely undesirable. The only recreation area now' =or in the foreseeable future—is the street. Building This is a two-story frame building built in 1905, containing four classrooms. There is no. available space for expansion. Structurally, the school is not in good condition. Service' Systems A modern oil -burning heating unit was installed in 1950. The ventilating system is antiquated and inefficient and the artificial lighting is very poor. The lavatories are located in the basement and are of poor design. The water service and sewage sys- tems are satisfactory. There is also a two-party line telephone. A new fire alarm system was recent- ly installed.

The financial transactions, as recorded ; on the booksof the several departments receiving or dis- bursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and verified by compari- son with the records in the offices of the town ac- countant and the town treasurer. The books and accounts in the town accountant's ofiicy were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were compared with the treas- urer's books and with the, records in the several departments collecting money for the town, while the recorded payments were compared with the treasurer's ' cash book and with the treasury war- rants.' The appropriations' and transfers, as en- tered, were checked with the amounts voted at town meetings as shown by the town clerk's record of financial votes passed at town meetings, and with the finance) committee's records of transfers from the reserve fund'. The general and appropriation ledger accounts were analyzed, the necessary adjusting entries re- sulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet,' which is appended= to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town on August 14, 1956. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book addi- tions were verified, and the receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and compared with the accountant's books, with the records of the various departments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which money is paid into the, town treasury. The recorded payments were checked with the treasury warrants authorizing the treasu- rer to disburse town funds and with the town ac- countant's records. The cash' balance on August 14, 1956 was; proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with state- ments furnished by the banks of deposit, by exam- ination of the savings bank books, by actual count of the cash in the office, and by verification of the cash memoranda. The reported payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling 'due and with the cancelled securities and coupons' on file. The amounts of interest due and unpaid' were listed and reconciled with the balance as shown by a statement furnished by the bank of deposit. The savings bank books and securities represent- ing the investments of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the library trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved, and all transactions' and ' balances were verified and 60 checked with the books of the town accountant. The records of tax titles and: tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records and the ac- countant's books, the recorded foreclosures were verified, the reported redemptions were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, proved, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds. The records of payroll deductions on account of Federal taxes,' the retirement system, purchase. of savings bonds, Blue Cross and Blue Shield mem- bership, and group insurance were examined and proved with the accountant's controlling accounts. The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists, were analyzed and checked with the warrants issued for their collection. The recorded collections were com- pared with the payments to the treasurer, the re- corded abatements were proved with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the transfers to the tax title account were checked with the records of tax titles held by the town, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the re- spective controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger. The records of water' and other departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the pay- ments to the treasurer, the abatements were, com- pared with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed, checked with the available records in the several departments, and proved with the accountant's ledger controls. Verification of the outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, departmental, electric light, and water accounts was 'made by mailing no- tices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the re- plies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct. It was noted that there are several departmental accounts receivable that are overdue, and it is recommended that the town collector and the de- partments concerned make a determined effort to secure a settlement of the delinquent accounts, and that the accounts found to be uncollectible be con- sidered for abatement by the respective departments. The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The recorded re- ceipts on account of dog and sporting licenses, town licenses and permits, and other charges, were examined and compared with the payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and ie, and the cash balance was verified by actual it of the cash in the office. he available records of departmental cash col - ions by the sealer of weights and measures, and the ;police, public property, health,; public wel-' , school, and library departments, as well as by ether departments in which money was collected the town, were examined and checked.
