At present time there are two hundred seventy-eight homes, st and factories connected to the system. Very little construction was carried out by the High. Department in 1942. In accordance with votes of the tow] cement sidewalk was constructed on North Main street f Summit Avenue to the town line, a distance of two thou, three hundred thirteen (2,313) feet. East Street was widened at the curve between Pratt St and the Canoe River bridge. Gravel fill was obtained, but to war conditions, it was impossible to get the bituminous terial to complete the job. It was necessary to move back t] telephone poles at this location. A sum of money was appropriated to build Myrtle Street the gravel fill was completed, the tarring put off until the mat( is available. The Back Bay Brook was thoroughly cleaned of all b and debris. Very little resurfacing work was done in 1942. The str listed below were tarred following approval of the use of material by the Department of Public Works: County Street 1,765 gals.

Greany, Chairman i. f 46 r Police Department Mr. Harold H. ' Everett n Town Manager Mansfield, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Everett: I submit herewith the report of the Police Departmeni the year 1942. On June 6, Patrolman James Newall passed away, and thro his death this department and the town suffered the losso faithful and honest public servant. Having served the town' some eighteen years, his death was felt as a personal loss b who knew him. Prior to his death, this department had operated on a ( f patrolman basis with two patrolmen on duty patrolling in cruiser car during the night-time hours. After the death of Newall, it has been necessary to operate on a three patroh basis with the result that a large part of the patrolling in outlying districts has had to be eliminated. War has augmented the dS. uties of all police departments. Thi, is true here, resulting in special attention having to be given,, tc shops and factories working on defense orders, as well as watch. ing for evidence of sabotage, subversive activities or anything, of a suspicious nature, ' and attending to many other routine duties required by the federal government. The new dim-out regulations make the night patrolman's duties more difficult and hazardous. The auxiliary police force, which was organized during 1941, has proven to be valuable and of much assistance to the depart- ment. I wish to express my thanks to these men for the faith- ful performance of their duties which are carried out without compensation and purely on a volunteer basis. The two-way radio system has been placed in service during the past year and is working very satisfactorily and gives the town a very efficient and modern system of communication. How- ever, under the present man -power of the department, we are unable to take full advantage of this fine equipment, but do have 47 t' hand and can always use it throughout any emergency when gill be of inestimable value. The call -box system has worked satisfactorily throughout the r and the men on duty still make hourly calls during the day - ,t hours and half-hourly calls from 11:00 p. m. to 4:00 a. m. ould recommend that the system of summoning officers while on rol be changed from the present flashing of the street lights I ' system of recall lights. Four of these lights have been ob- Led without expense to the town and three more of these lights, h the necessary wiring, would complete this system which Lid operate much more efficiently both day and night once galled. The police cruiser, which has been in service about two years which was not new when purchased, is getting to the point ire it is impractical to operate, and consideration of the purch- of a new car has been requested. The new motorcycle has ven its value and it is hoped to make even more use of it during coming year with a resultant saving of the cruiser car. The daily log has been maintained, keeping a record of the vities of all men regularly attached to the department. The sematic filing of complaints, investigations and arrests has a continued, as has the file of delinquent children and traffic ators. During the year, major crimes have been successfully avoided. During January, the department was successful in appre- nding a gang of thieves wanted for a series of automobile thefts Middlesex County and these men were turned over to the thorities in that county. During April, the department was again successful in arrest - a gang of tire thieves who had operated in two states and counties. Convictions were obtained and they are now iiig sentences for these crimes. The town has been free of house and store breaks and other offenses throughout the year. There have been five fatalities during the past year. All oc- ed in such a manner that none can be directly charged to the 48 lack of enforcement of traffic regulations. I wish to thank the members of the department for th loyalty and service and to express my appreciation to the To Manager and Selectmen for their valued counsel. Respectfully submitted, JOHN W.

The losses for the year were as follows, Building losses, $5909.72 Loss on contents, $1936.00 Insurance paid, 5864.72 Insurance paid, 1091.00 Per capita loss, $1.171 The Ambulance made a total of 164 runs during the year, wil a Mileage of 5224. After 6 years of continuous service the ambl lance was given an overhauling during the month of May. Whi' it was out of service the Volunteer Ambulance Corps took ovE and their cooperation was much appreciated. On the morning of Nov. 25th, while taking a patient t Attleboro during a . severe wind and rain storm, the front of tl ambulance was hit by a large falling tree limb. One headligk lens was broken and the fenders were dented somewhat, but n serious damage was done. The apparatus is in good . condition at the present time. Tw new batteries have been installed in trucks during the year. The. Central Station is in good ' condition except that th cement floors should be pointed this year, and some of the insid walls need painting. The front doors were painted during th 53 year, and some needed repairs were made to the roof where leaks had developed. 12 new window shades were added to conform to dim-out regulations. The fire alarm system is in good condition except that the ,siren at West Mansfield is giving considerable trouble. It is hoped that it will be replaced in the near future. I would call attention to the condition of the water main on Branch Street again, and would suggest that it be replaced at such time as suitable pipe is again available. The personnel of the Department is somewhat reduced at the present time due to war conditions, four men, Rodney Rounds, Richard Valois, Gurdon Dower, and Russell Pierce having gone into the armed services, and some have left for defense work. The group of members of the Auxiliary Fire Department are responding well to Fire Department training, and with their .assistance the Department is in a position to continue with normal .service. I wish to thank all Town Officials for their cooperation and assistance during the year. Respectfully, ARTHUR E. SOPER, Chief INSPECTOR OF SLAUGHTERING Mr. Harold Everett Town Manager Mansfield, Mass. Dear Sir: I have inspected the slaughtering of 17 animals during the year which were found free from disease.

Teachers' Activities At this time I wish to personally thank the teachers in ou' schools for their cooperation in assisting with the registration o men for the draft, and the rationing of various commodities. Thei: cheerful response was most gratifying. The services offered b several of the Townspeople were accepted and appreciated. Americanization Classes This year 25 foreign -born people in Mansfield are takin advantage of evening classes conducted by Mrs. Helena Vallei at the Spaulding School. They are studying in order that the may become American citizens. Any adult who wishes to stud for his citizenship papers is urged to enroll. Closing of the Main Street School In June the Main Street School was closed, rather tha expend money for extensive repairs to the building. The teacher were transferred within the system, thus alleviating. the need o employing two new teachers to fill vacancies. Air Raid Precautions Each school is required to have weekly air-raid drills in orde that every child may know exactly what he is to do if the Ai Raid warning is sounded. Drills have been held to test the tim required for the evacuation of the school buildings and the tim needed for the pupils to reach their homes. Bus children are sen to official Air Raid Shelters near their respective schools. 137 Major Repairs and Improvements enior High School: The ceilings in the Study Hall and two classrooms were repaired and whitened—the rooms were painted and the old window shades were replaced with new ones. The upper and tower corridors have been made more attractive by painting the eanvass and varnishing the woodwork. junior High School: All hope for a new Junior -Senior High School was abandoned, Jue to the impossibility of obtaining materials and construction )f the same. It, therefore, became necessary to make major repairs to the Junior High School. A special appropriation of *000 was voted by the citizens at the last annual Town Meeting. All loose and hazardous plaster was removed, and ceilings and s were repaired. The Principal's Office, Nurse's Room, Dental Room, corridors, end all classrooms were completely refinished. The walls and eilings were painted and the woodwork varnished. New floors were laid and refinished throughout the building. Strips of rubber matting were placed in the corridors. New light globes with larger bulbs were installed to replace the old and inadequate ones. New window shades were hung at all windows. Two new three -unit drinking fountains were installed to 3,ccommodate the teachers and students, Two coats of paint were applied to the outside of the sch000l. The entire back section of the roof was reshingled to prevent .eaks. Although the school is far from a modern building, it certainly s a neat and safe one now. 13S At the completion of the work, Open House was observed on September eighth to give the Townspeople an opportunity to inspect the newly renovated building. Roland Green School: The ceilings and walls of the classrooms were painted. At one end of the building, the upper and lower vestibules and staircases were painted. The cement stairs, and the floors in the girls and boys toilets were painted. John Berry School: Three classrooms, the auditorium, and three vestibules were painted. Shrubbery was taken from in front of the former Hall School and planted in front of the John Berry School. This improvement adds greatly to the attractiveness of the building. Spaulding School: The gravel playground in front of the school has been replaced by an attractive lawn which has been enclosed by a barberry hedge. Shrubbery has been planted near the building. A driveway was made at one side of the building to permit filling of the coal bins and removal of ashes. One coat of white paint has been applied to the school. Cold weather and a shortage of labor has necessitated the delay of the second coat until Spring. The Federal Security Agency of the U. S. Office of Education, in collaboration with the War Department at Washington, D. C., has requested that drastic revisions be made in, the Senior High School curriculum. The Senior High School Principal's Report will . contain a detailed account of these changes. 139 Recommendations It is expected that the majority of the Senior boys in the high school will be inducted into the Armed Services during their senior year or shortly after Graduation. I, therefore, recommend that certain changes and revisions be made in the Senior High School Curriculum to comply with the Government's request I. That a full-time course in Physical Education be required for all pupils. 2. That pre -induction Shop courses be required of all senior boys. 3. The introduction of a course in blueprint reading for boys and girls. I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation which I have received during the year from the School Committee, Town Officials, and Citizens. Respectfully submitted, BERT L.
