At no time in the history of the Town, ur Town Manager form of government, has so small amount of been borrowed in anticipation of taxes as during the past tw which means a large saving in interest on Temporary Loan is shown in detail by a table prepared by the Treasurer lector. My recommendation of last year, whereby the Colle ceive all of the income from the electric light and power, 3 given careful consideration. I am anticipating that this accomplished early this year, thereby bringing all of the 1 partments in line with one another. The Town Treasurer and Collector's office has been r throughout, ceiling and walls painted and the wood work .coat of varnish. New oak flooring has been laid which '. -the general appearance. The accounts of the Town at present are audited onl every three years, by the Division of Accounts, Departmen poration and Taxation, Commonwealth of Massachusett cannot be audited by this department oftener, unless auth, vote of the Town. I have therefore inserted an article in rant for the voters to consider whether they wish to have audit of the accounts. The cost of the annual audit is a li than the three year audit, but no business corporation w three years before auditing their accounts. This office is the . most important one under my jurisd: Mr. Harold H. Everett, your Treasurer and Collector has co ated with me in every respect. ANNUAL REPORT 9 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE TOWN HOME The Town Home has been in the care of our very satisfactory ,apable superintendent and matron, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scott. We have seven inmates, six male and one female, at the home; two less than we had last year at this time. One inmate, who been confined to her bed for twelve years, was removed and ;ed at a Boston Hospital. At the present time she can walk and rtly self supporting. The other inmate left on his own accord is now able to provide for himself. The State Inspector has made his annual visit, pronouncing the in satisfactory condition and the inmates comfortably housed cared for. He recommended that a separate room be provided he men to use as a smoking room. We are renovating one of >ld rear rooms on the first floor by putting in cement floor and )roof walls, also steam heat and electric lights. This will avoid langer incurred ry the inmates smoking in their own rooms. I am pleased to be in a position to report that a number of per- ,nt improvements have been made during the past year. An ely new steam heating plant has been installed, replacing the n heating plant used in the inmates part. The new plant -not takes care of the needs of the inmates, but also heats the entire [ing. Previously the larger portion of the house was heated by s and open fire places. An outside bulkhead was constructed, Lake it more accessible to reach the heating plant. The old brick oven chimney, which is probably more than a century was reconstructed in the basement and used in connection with seating plant. Several other improvements have been made in )asement, including an entire concrete floor, new windows and Les and a new vegetable cellar is now under construction. Dur- -he coming year all the buildings will require painting. Since the collection of garbage has been taken care of by Mr. t at the Town Home, we have had to increase the buildings at )iggery. A new sanitary garbage wagon was purchased, which been a great help in handling this work successfully. OUTSIDE RELIEF The problems coming under this department require careful sideration and judgment, to the end that none may suffer and he same time the best interest of the Town be conserved. work of the various organizations and indiviauals who haN contributions and also for the splendid dinners given at giving and Christmas to brighten the many homes.

During the past year we started an ash and refuse c throughout the town. The Town is divided into districts an tions made every Monday. Collections are made by a du`. truck of the Highway Department and used to fill in, swampy lands owned by the Town. This work eliminates t and unsanitary dumps along the highways. Investigations have been made into cases which cam attention of the Health Department, including unsanitary overflowing cess pools, waste food stuff, unsanitary basem discharging filth and refuse into streams.

TREE WARDEN The principal work of this department during the past consisted of pruning and removing dead limbs and dead trees. Trimming the trees for the electric light and telephone A has been done either by the employees of the tree departir. electric light department or the telephone company but has alv been done under the supervision of the tree department. A large amount of cutting and pruning has been done along -road side both in East and West Mansfield and considerable r. -will have to be done the coming year. ANNUAL REPORT 13' �Z110 ral unsightly trees were removed ori; the South Common,. e remaining trees a better chance to grow. A crack about s long was found at the base of the steel flag pole on the-- mmon which required immediate attention. This fracture xently caused by water entering from above and freezing— heavy sleeve filled with cement was used to reinforce the - ;he base. ice around the East Mansfield Common will require ex-- airs, x--airs, as some of the posts are badly decayed. If the ce is eliminated, a cement curb. could be constructed Park, which would, owing to the cost of such construe -- an extra appropriation. electman and Mrs. Charles A. Richardson purchased the tri - parcel of land at Elm, Balcom and Otis Streets::, at West field center. They had the blacksmith shop removed, which n old land mark, regraded and seeded down the land; con- ed a cement curb around same and erected a flag pole in the - of the triangle. This was done at their own expense. It is- ated by the townspeople that another beauty spot has been.._ to the Town. The flag poles on all the commons have been repainted. A.- bubbler _bubbler fountain has been installed on the North .Common. Community Christmas trees were set up on all of the commons brilliantly illuminated with electric lights. A year ago there -- only one set up, on the North Common, whereas, this year one- set ne-set up on each common, making four in all. TOWN BURIAL GROUNDS The Union, Williams, Gilbert Street and East Mansfield ceme-- ,s have been well taken care of. The grass has been cut regu- and shrubbery trimmed. The driveway in the Union Street-. etery has been regraded. DECORATION OF SOLDIERS' GRAVES Mr. Henry C. Hamilton has had charge of this work, whic, has performedin a very creditable and patriotic manner. The .rican Flag is always displayed in each marker of the veteran's-- 14 ANNUAL REPORT graves who served in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, lr Civil, Spanish-American and the World War. From the di flags that may be seen, Mansfield has contributed her shar( for the cause of patriotism. TOWN HALL The building is in good condition and did not require traordinary, repairs during the past year. The lower hall painted inside. The Treasurer. and Collector's office was x and renovated and new floor laid. The coming year a cen crete floor will be laid in the basement, which will add valu space needed for the Water Department. The Assessors' as the Police rooms, will require painting, etc. the coming' INSPECTION OF BUILDINGS AND WIRES Mr. Charles E. Walker, Inspector of Buildings and V performed his work conscientiously during the past year. of his work appears elsewhere in this report. FIRE ALARM The rewiring of the Fire Alarm System was compleu the year. All of the outside overhead iron wires have been with copper. The storage batteries which have been in use since 1916 a Central Fire Station were badly deteriorated. A new set was chased at an expense of over $400, and installed, the latter pa December. Two new boxes were installed, one at East Mansfield Cor and one at East and Franklin Streets. I recommend that an tional fire alarm box be installed at the corner of East and Streets, near the Town Home, which will give more protecti this . vicinity. A new fire alarm box No. 16, was also addi South Main Street, near Beech Street. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES Mr. Norman S.

ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT he Electric Light Department has had a very successful year. ierable .work has been done in the way of repairs and exten- f pole lines, thereby giving added and improved service to our niers. luringthe year we have made a general survey of our distri- 1 lines. In some instances we have found transformers were I to their capacity and others over loaded, due to the increase isumers. ,This increase in the transformers caused a drop in ;e. We also found similar conditions where secondary wires ,arried a greater distance than required by good practice. We made a number of improvements in these conditions but it is ,ary, to continue this work. everal testing instruments have been purchased and old in- ents repaired, thereby enabling us to carry on our work more ntly. 'he street lighting constant current transformers at the light are loaded to capacity. These will be replaced the coming with transformers of a larger capacity. Twenty-five trans- xs'ranging from 2 K.W. to 30 K.W. capacity damaged by ing, overloading, etc., were shipped to the repair shop of the nghouse Electric .& Mfg. Co., where a guarantee is made for rebuilt transformer. ;xtension of lines were made on Gilbert Street from Balcom L, 'Fruit Street from Short Street, Essex and Ware Street residence of Mr. Hamilton on Ware Street, West Street from ier's Corner to residence of Mr. Briggs. `he pole lines were rebuilt on Pleasant Street between North and Clinton Streets, Pratt Street from North Main to Clinton b, also on Fulton Street, Bella Vista and Warren Avenues. We .t our entire pole line on South Main Street from the Four Cor - to Reservoir Street. The short poles were removed from the 16 ANNUAL REPORT easterly side of the street and new forty-five foot pol6s* westerly side, which are used jointly by the Electric Lig)a pany, Telephone Company and the Norton, Taunton, and Street Railway. Year ending December 31, 1925 we had a cash bala $5,410.78. During the year we charged off as u-neollectable'r $979.00. These accounts have been carried on our books" _fo chandise, light and power bought during 1922 and previous"", time. We have failed to locate the parties owing these bilk most cases they have moved out of town and their addresi unknown. In some instances the parties have gone into ruptcy. The accounts have been watched more closely ti. year. The department paid from its earnings the Bonds, $2, Interest on Bonds, $2,816.66; Sinking Fund, $2,045.91; Depre $3,951.48, making a total amount of fixed charges from earr. $10,814.05. The total assets of the plant for the year end! cember 31st are $181,199.37. The net debt of the property 740.93. The plant investment at the end of the year was $: 12, or an increase of $4,201.93 over last year, which was adde capital account from the earnings. In other words, new c( tion was added to the property without an appropriation fr, ation. During the year I have given the street illumination careful study. Several public ways were insufficiently illu and lights have been added. The candle power of existin lamps has been increased in several localities by putting i. size lamps. No better and cheaper protection can be seem well lighted highways. At the Electric Light Store, we have disposed of a mount of stock at reduced prices, as this material had hand for several years and was fast becoming obsolete.

The I" 'company has maintained its efficiency and through their t and experienced work many losses have been kept down to .nimum. No change has been made in the force, as to com- and numbers, and the permanent force remains the same. has been necessary during the year to expend considerable on the apparatus for emergency repairs which was not ap- ed in the 1925 budget. The White Combination had to have Jinders installed early in the year and. later was rebuilt with steel body replacing the old wood body formerly on the old drawn combination. This was caused from a collision with mping engine in dense smoke at the large forest fire at West veld. New ignition systems have been placed in both the and ladder truck, a new battery bought for the pump and two ies rebuilt. Also wind shields put on all apparatus at Central n. The additional cost of the above was about $1600. new chief's car has been purchased after the Chief had ad an automobile for the fire service at his personal expense charge to the town for seven years. apparatus is now in excellent condition. The fire alarm system has been maintained in good condition l has operated successfully, barring unavoidable conditions which re beyond the control of the superintendent. New street boxes have been installed at South Main and Chest - East and Franklin streets and at East Mansfield Common. The old batteries at Central Station have been replaced with v battery jars, covers and plates. 26 ANNUAL REPORT The water supply has been adequate on all occasion ever, all four inch mains should be replaced with large, soon as conditions will permit and better protection s provided for the new Green School Building. In compliance with the acts of 1924, the Department Safety, has issued orders for the standardizing of fire h lings, fittings and hydrant outlets, to the National Starr Hose Coupling Screw Thread, providing that all such shall be made to conform to such standard before Januar This will require changing all of our hydrants, fire hose connections during the year. I am unable to give ax of cost of the required changes at this time but some should be made to care for this matter from both the fire' department funds. The Central Station has been reshingled at a cost also the interior of Station No. 3 has been remodeled - at able expense, all of which will be required to be paid fror. appropriation. The exterior and interior of the Central badly in need of paint and repairs which should be atte once.

The statistics of attendance are for the school year Septei 1924 to June 1925. A table giving the membership by grade the past seven years is included to show the growth of the se] during that period. It will be observed that the increase has quite uniform—an average of thirty-four a year. - This ina .made it necessary to provide additional school accommodation, to employ more teachers. Two rooms were added to the Spau School in 1920 and the Roland Green School completed in 1924 tains nine rooms. Deducting the three rooms lost by the de€ tion of the old Green School leaves a net increase of eight rooms provided since 1919. Every available room is now oce including the play room in the John Berry School. Forty-sevei ular teachers and three supervisors are now employed. In there were forty regular teachers and three supervisors. Th mal growth in school population requires at least one addi room each year. Accommodations should be provided for the for High School pupils in the John Berry School, if grades and eight are to remain there. THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL There are 128 pupils in the three classes of the Senioi School:—Sophomores 37; Juniors 45; Seniors 46. The reduction in numbers caused by transferring the frE class to the Junior High, School has made it possible to do better work in all departments and to maintain better distil The present High School building was planned to accom a maximum of 200 pupils. The course of study has been revised during the yeas closer union made.with the Junior High. There has been no vacancy in the teaching force of the Senior h School during the year and this fact has contributed greatly ,le.success of the year. The school has maintained a high stan- [ and has retained the college certificate privilege of the New land College Entrance Board. The State Board of Education rated the school as "Class A", which allows our graduates to r the State Normal Schools upon certificate. ' Our physical and chemical laboratories have never been well pped. This year a good beginning has been made toward plac- them in good working condition. About four hundred dollars' worth of new equipment has been sided. Additions should be made each year in order to take of the natural wear and to keep the apparatus up to date. Six new typewriters were purchased during the year for the mercial department. THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The ,Junior High consists of grades seven, eight and nine, and an enrollment of 326. Eight teachers are assigned to this school. The teaching is upon the departmental plan, and the work is lucted with a view to better accomplishment on the part of ils though self-reliance and attention to duty. An attempt has been made to employ Junior High methods in les seven and eight at the John Berry School. A college grad - was secured as an extra teacher, and departmental work was Opportunities for securing employment have increased this and a number of Junior High School pupils have left school nter the industries. The prospect of immediate gain too often -shadows the advantages of a better education and consequent titer earning power. Boys and girls who leave scHool before pleting the Junior High School course generally accept very - paying jobs in which there is no future. Completion of the work of grade nine should be the minimum drement of all normal children. THE GRADES There has been a very noticeable improvement in the work of les 1-6 as a result of better housing conditions and better nization. Each of the nine rooms in the Roland Green School has a single r 120 ANNUAL REPORT — 'Al", 1,. grade with about 40 pupils. The conditions are ideal for pupil teachers, and the good results are readily seen by anyone who vise r buildings under less favorable co the school. In the othe ndition the work has progressed well. There have been no overcrowde rooms, and, consequently, pupils have received more individual tention. w,b TRANSPORTATION Pupils are transported to the High, Junior High and White 14 Schools. The service has ,been satisfactory except in the case West Mansfield pupils using the steam train. The time sched- of the railroad has made it necessary for pupils to start for scho very early in the morning and to wait a long time after schl There seems to be no indication, of a change in the schedule in V near future. It would be a great advantage to have bus serve to West Mansfield. VF HEALTH The health of pupils is of vital importance to the comp nity. Until recently the public .has given the matter very- lit attention. It has been pointed out that the economic loss throe ill health has been enormous among workmen throughout the coi try, but few writers have thought it worth while to devote mi It is with the school child that we m space to school children. work if we hope to see results in the adult. Three main fact are now contributing towards the maintainance of the health our pupils:— The School Physician, The School Nurse, and Teaching of Physical Education. The physician and nurse have co-operated in every instar and have succeeded in preventing the spread at would have es acontageous ` es and in correcting many minor defects t the untrained eye. The teacher of physical education has pror and recreation. M ed healthful exercise of fairre andthis hho!. -created in the minds of the pupils a sense P dealing. The dental clinic has been a great benefit to a large nur. of pupils, and should be supported by an appropriation. REPAIRS Extensive repairs and replacements were The m at the Ce, vacate ht ho. ,School building during the summer ANNUAL REPORT 121 maces which heated the school rooms were of a type that is no ger manufactured and were in such poor condition that they. ild not be repaired without having new parts cast at a foundry a cost nearly equal to the amount charged for new furnaces aplete and of standard make. The new furnaces were installed. e three steam boilers that heated the ventilating stacks and -ridors and three small offices were condemned by the State filer Inspector. One new boiler was secured to take the place the three that were condemned. The furnaces and boiler have ted the building very satisfactorily, and the ventilation has been !atly improved. The roof of the Main Street School was re -shingled with as- tos shingles. The exterior of th Spaulding School building was rated and a strong wire fence was built on the north side of the ool grounds. Minor repairs have been made in all the other ools except the Roland Green. The buildings are now in much ter condition than they have been for many years. TEACHERS The resignation of teachers has caused no serious interruption the school work during the year. All the vacancies occurred at time when good teachers were available. All the new teachers e either college or normal school graduates. The present force working harmoniously, and the pupils show the results of good �truction. Before the opening of the schools in September two ditional teachers were employed: Miss Dorothy Grimes, Wheaton i; and Miss Gertrude Cass, Salem Normal '24. Miss Grimes aches Junior High School subjects in John Berry School and Miss Lss has charge of one of the fourth grades in Roland Green School. FUEL Early in May a contract was placed for supplying the schools h four hundred -fifty tons of New River coal. Delivery was made ing the summer. Thirty-five tons of anthracite was secured for John Berry School, and three tons for each of the one room ldings, where soft coal cannot be used with the present heating iaratus. The coal bins were filled before the opening of the ools in September, and a reserve supply was placed in a pile at rear of the Central School building. We are fortunate in having enough soft coal for the year for the schools that can use this fuel. It will be necessary to pro - "substitute coal" for the John Berry School from February to close of the winter, or until the coal strike is 'ended. x' ANNUAL REPORT 5-7 7-14 122 GRADES 4 THE AMERICANIZATION CLASS all Aj 4 4 At the Spaulding School a class of twenty-five men a week since the fi " have been taught for three evenings have been employed, and text -boot Girls----------------------------------------- ber. - Two teachers of the pupils have been provided.
