Voted. that the report of the committee on a better system
of town accounts be accepted as a report of progress and that
a copy of the report be inserted in the town report and the
article as recommended be inserted in the town warrant of the
annual meeting in the year 1914. The following is the re-
port submitted by the committee.
"Your committee on Town Accounts have to report that the
Legislative Joint Special Committee on Municipal Finance,
appointed June 18, 1912, in its report of January, 1918, have
the following to say about Uniform System of Accounting:
`Under the existing statutes cities and towns may petition
the Bureau of Statistics for an audit of their accounts and
the installation of an accounting system. At the present
time ten cities and twenty towns have availed themselves of
the authority granted under this act, and in some instances
have installed an accounting system which is approved and
recommended by the Bureau. For the purpose of facilitat-
ing the work of the Bureau, and enabling the Legislature to
obtain more comprehensive information regarding the finan-
cial standing of the municipalities at short notice, the com-
mittee believes a more extensive use of this system to be
advisable. The accounting systems in use in cities are gen-
erally concise and complete at the present time, but it is ap-
parent that there is a lack of system in the keeping of ac-
counts by towns, and in some instances absolutely no system
at all. The committee therefore recommends:—That there
.shall be placed in the town warrant of all the towns at their
annual meeting in the year 1914 an article to see if the town
will petition the Bureau of Statistics for an audit of its ac-
counts in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 598 of
the Acts of the year 1910 and amendments thereof.' This
_W_'
20
recommendation is embodied in Appendix N of House Bill
No. 1803 now before the legislature.
Respectfully submitted,
J. E. WHITE, Chairman."
Voted that the committee on appropriations be appointed
by the chair with the provision that five retire each year and
five new ones be put in their places, and the vote of last year
that stated no elective officer serve on the committee be re-
pealed. The following is the committee on Appropriations
as prepared by' the Moderator, in addition to the Chairman
of the Board of Selectmen.
Walter M. Lowney, Frank M. C•obb,

Report of the Overseers of the Poor
for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913
w
To the Citizens of the Town of Mans field:
The Overseers of the Poor hereby submit their report fo:
the year ending Dec. 31, 1913.
During the year the Board has aided 46 people represent.
ing 26 families having settlements in Mansfield. The out
side aid is, we think, at as low a figure as it is possible t
have it and still do our duty as the law requires.
ALMSHOUSE AND TOWN FARM.
The farm, we feel, is in better condition than formerly
There three horses, seven cows, twenty-six pigs, one hun
dred hens on the place, and the farm has raised fodder enoug]
to keep the stock next year. You will see by the report tha
$307.42 was paid for hay. That expense will not appeal
on next year's report. The crops have been better :and mor
plentiful. That ever present question, the cost of running
the Town Farm, we think, can be reduced some in the futurE
But the Almshouse of to -day, which is under frequent in
spection of the state officials, does not afford such care ani
treatment to the inmates as the inspectors recommend. W
have made some improvements. The inspector forbids th
use of kerosene lamps and stoves for the inmates' department
We have installed electric lights at a cost of $74.50, also
im heating plant for the inmates' department at a cost
090.00.
Che State Board of Health has condemned the sanitary
ditions and recommends that the town water be extended
I 'installed, so that the bath and closets can be put in a
itary condition and be made more convenient. That, or
)e'other provision for water, should be made by the voters,
the matter will be presented at the town meeting for their
sideration.
Chere are five inmates,—four females and one male, all old
helpless.
Ve invite all persons who are interested in the poor depart -
Lt or the inmates to visit the Almshouse and note the con -
ons. Their co-operation and advice, after seeing what
conditions are, may be the means of bettering some things
the voters' providing the money to make improvements
t are so much needed for the comfort of the poor and
)less that we have always with us.
%ollowing. will be found a statement of receipts and ex -

Report of the Library Trustees
MANSFIELD, MASS., Dec. 81, V
To the Citizens of plans field:—
While the circulation has been less than last year,
who have availed themselves -of the privilege of the I
have had a larger number and variety of books and mag
to choose from, than ever before.
As may be seen by examining the Treasurer's repc
have bought an entirely new and up to date edition
Encyclopaedia Britannica, besides several sets of v€
books of history and travel. We also received a ve
ceptable gift from Mrs. H. O. Jarbeau of Washington,
who presented us with a large number of books by st
authors, from the library of her father, Mr. ChE
Booker, a former resident of the town.
As is known to those who frequent the library, w
added several handsome pieces of furniture, and a larg
(map of the world) which must be of interest to a
study it.
The rooms- have also been redecorated, _ which is p.
to all who enter,and is possibly all that the town she
in that respect for a number of years, but some time

Words by Clara Ruth 11latatall
Music by Charles Hiram Hallett
Into the joys and the pleasures
That now are filling our hearts
Is woven the thought of sadness
That as classmates wemust part.
But wherever -we may wander '
Journeying over life's highway,
We will never cease to cherish
The fond memories of today.
Thanks do we give to our teachers
Who have taught us day by day;
By their kind and thoughtful interests
They have helped us on our way..
To our parents dear we tender
Loving tributes and sincere;
They with never -ceasing efforts
Watch and guide us year by year.
Together we've shared our pleasures
And shared some sorrows, too,
And now Hope is bright before us,
For there's work for all to do.
So in life let's work on nobly
Conquering battles as they come.
Our reward will be the sweeter
When the victory we have won.
CHORUS
Heavenly Father, guide us
When storm -clouds hover o'er,
And direct our footsteps
To the bright and golden shore.

Report of the
Municipal Lighting Board
We hereby submit to the citizens of the Town of Mansfield
our report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913.
The past year has shown the business of the Plant has
steadily increased, the gain over the preceding year being
about 6%o.- When it is taken into consideration that a lower
current rate than formerly existed has been in force the past
nine months, the increase is most gratifying to the Board.
In the items of expense in operation, a few show marked
increase over the preceding year, chief of which is fuel oil.
This item reached high water mark in price during the past
year, apparently from no other reason than that the oil 'com-
pany needed the money. At present the price of oil shows a
decrease over earlier quotations.
With the installation. of the new telephone service by the
New England Telephone & Telegraph Co., in Mansfield, and
the uniform practice of placing all the wires of the several
operating companies on the same line of poles, requiring the
substitution of many street miles of new and heavier poles,
repairs on lines and new construction of additions, have been
a constant source of expense. The greater part of the above
changes have already been made, and we trust this item will
show a falling off in line maintenance.
a
4
The station equipment remains in a very satisfactory con-
dition and only ordinary repairs should be required during
the coming year.
During the past year the Plant has paid, all obligations
charged against it, including interest, bond and sinking fund
requirements, together with' maintenance and depreciation
charges, from the receipts of the Plant.
Several opportunities for securing additional current,
should it be. necessary to supply the future 'demands on the
Plant, have been placed in the hands of the Board, and some
arrangement may be made 'to provide the same.
We would request your careful perusal of the report of
Manager Geo. W. Wood which is appended and which will be
found to contain all the data relating to the operation of the
Plant for the past year.
We wish to thank the public for the uniform courtesy
shown the Plant and its representatives at all times. Also
the employes of the Plant whose conscientious services have
done so much to insure its successful operation.
Respectfully yours,
W. H. LYONS,
A C. RICHARDSON,
W. H. ALLEN,
Commilssione7rs.
GENTLEMEN :—I hereby submit for your consideration and
approval the report of the business operation and financial
condition of the plant for the year ending Dec. 31, 1913.
The past year has been exceptional in many ways for all
manufacturing business, and we show an increase in several
't f th 1 f h'
i ems o expen e, e prmcipa o w ich is fuel oil. This
item increased about 65 % over last year. The price has
dropped about 30% from the maximum but is still egcep-
tionally high.
The rates were changed iii: April which resulted in a de-
crease in the lighting rate ranging .from 21% to 0, the
small consumer getting the benefit of the larger reduction.
The net power rate was changed but very little.
.New business has been taken on during the year but the
increase has not been as great as in some previous years.
The net increase received from light and power was $1477.04
or about 6% over last year.
According to a vote of the town at the last March meet-
ing we received $6,996.00 for street lighting and have paid
the following items : Sinking Fund requirements, bond. >pay-
ments, interest and depreciation the : total of which is
$10,472.46. Also the regular maintenance expense.
The change in the telephone system caused the reconstruc-
tion of numerous lines. This 'work has been completed to a
large extent and the balance will be finished" at an early date.
Tlie station equipment is in 'good serviceable condition at
present, although the demand is increasing all the. time.
Several propositions for buying current outside .have been
taken up, but nr�thin'g definitely done at present.
A burn out of the No. 3 generator on Dec. �3 caused a
shut down of the system for a few minutes. This machine
has been repaired however, and is in service again.
I wish to thank the Board for their support and kind as-
sistance during the year. The following data will show the
business in detail.
Respectfully submitted,
