The year has been difficult because of the continually increasing prices, with the resulting necessity of readjusting salary schedules and of having to revise budget requests upward even for the same services and commodities. In November the people of Quincy voted that there should be equal pay for men and women teachers with the same training and experience, doing the same work. The school committee is meeting this mandate by placing all teachers on the revised 1945 salary schedule on the basis of experience, an arrange- ment that will bring about quickly what the schedule would have made possible some years hence. This action strengthens the position of the schools in the recruiting of new teachers with successful experi- ence, a problem that has plagued us particularly at the elementary school level where the supply of teachers has been extremely in- adequate to meet the demands.
Despite high cost of materials and labor excellent inroads have been made on the backlog of repair work and needed improvement of the school buildings during the last two or three years. Given a tew more years like 1947, Quincy will have its school buildings in such condition that citizens can justly be proud of them.
The long-term building program should receive further study, and action should be started on planning of additional school space. The greatly increased birthrate of the last six or seven years will create a school housing problem that annually will grow more seri- ous.
In doing the general educational task well the schools must find additional and better ways to adapt education to the needs and interests of students at the secondary school level who are not going to enter college, go into the commercial field, or become members of the skilled trades. The 1948 budget has provisions for starting distributive education, but in Quincy and in other communities here is one of the biggest unsolved problems needing attention.
77
I take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the School Committee for their unselfish and tireless efforts to make it possible for the schools to render their best service and to the teachers and other school employees for the excellent work that they are doing.
Respectfully yours, PAUL GOSSARD,
Superintendent of Schools.

SECTION IX WATER DEPARTMENT

WATER DEPARTMENT - PENN STREET SHOP
Water Department
During 1947, more than 6,000,000 gallons of water were consumed each day by the people of Quincy. This is an average of 72 gallons per day for every man, woman and child in the City.
The City of Quincy buys water from the Metropolitan District Com- mission. This water originates at the Quabbin Reservoir. From that point it passes to the Wachusett Reservoir, the Chestnut Hill Pumping Station and into Quincy.
There are eight storage reservoirs in the water distribution system with a total capacity of 9,527,000 gallons. These reservoirs are lo- cated at Cranch Hill, Penns Hill, Houghs Neck, Squantum, Breakneck Hill, and Forbes Hill. The latter, comprising a reservoir and standpipe, belongs to the Metropolitan District Commission and has a total stor- age capacity of 5,430,000 gallons.
90
During the year 1947, 4,301 feet of main pipe were laid. This brings the total mileage of main pipe to 204.8 miles in use as of December 31, 1947. There was a total of 10,810 feet of service pipe laid in 1947, making a total of 801,228 feet in use at the end of the year.
The 219 meters installed during 1947 bring the total meters in use to 17,316; thus 99.4% of water services in the City are metered.
Contrary to popular belief, the average daily consumption of water does not change significantly from season to season. More water is used in the Summer than in other seasons, but the amount of water consumed in the winter months is surprisingly high.
Financial statements containing expenditures and receipts of the Water Department for 1947 may be found in the Auditor's Report (Financial Section)
