REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The year that has passed into history has been for the Water Board almost as busy as the one preceding it, inas- much as new pipes have been laid, thus extending the system to about 4.90 miles, and new wells have been driven, tested, and connected to the system, which has taken considerable time and money, but all work being done absolutely necessary for the good of the system.
At the last annual town meeting the town appropriated money and voted to extend water mains through West Bacon Street to Walnut Street. We succeeded in getting the proper bids and the contracts were awarded as follows :
Cast iron pipe to Charles Millar & Sons' Co., price $25.70 per ton delivered.
Pipe laying to Jose Morrell, 29 cents per foot and $3.00 per cubic yard for blasting rock.
Hydrants & Gates, to Rensselaer Mfg. Co.
Special casting to Builders' Iron Foundry.
On May 20th Mr. Morrell began to lay the pipe and on June 18th the job was finished. We had a small balance left over from the appropriation, which appears in our accounts.
During the past year we have added four new wells to our system, which have met the tests of the State Board of Health. These wells are all below forty feet in depth and have proved a valuable addition to our system.
Owing to the very dry year that has past the people have

used much more water than the previous year and we have been obliged to pump much more water than was figured in the beginning. The pumping figures for the years are as follows :

596,925 gallons

2,486,250
Total gallons pumped during fiscal year 14,778,450
The number of services now in use is 143, single rate ; 1, double rate ; total, 144.
This is a gain of 26 takers during 1910 and does not in- clude the town buildings. The services are all fed through meters.
Our recommendations for the ensuing year are as follows :
That the amount in the Construction Fund ($55.69) be appropriated this year for the same purpose.
That the sum of $1,000:00 and receipts from supplies be appropriated for current and incidental expenses.
That the sum of $1,200.00 be appropriated for pumping water.
Our accounts are herewith appended.

Report of the Inspector of Animals
Plainville, Mass., Feb. 12, 1911 To the Selectmen of Plainville:
Gentlemen :- I submit the following report. I have in- spected 58 barns and found one hundred and sixty-seven (167) cows in milk, twenty-two cows (22) that were dry, seven (?) bulls, fifty-nine (59) young stock, one goat and ninety-two (92) swine.
I have quarantined and caused to be destroyed four (4) cows afflicted with the disease known as tuberculosis.
I found the sanitary conditions of barns very good with a few exceptions.
I would recommend, as per a previous report, that all deal- ers in milk cause their linters to be thoroughly cleaned before milking. By so doing a better report would be ensured them to the State Board of Cattle Commissioners.
I have received an order from the Chief of Cattle Bureau to make another inspection to be completed before the first of March.
Respectfully yours, C. N. MOORE.

Report of Fire Engineers
Your Fire Engineers herewith submit their report for the year ending Jan. 31st, 1911.
We have endeavored to keep the expenses of the depart- ment down as low as we consistently could. There are some things much needed by the department, but under the present conditions we believe it unwise to expend any large amount of money.
We expected the quarters of the fire department were to be improved so as to give us much needed floor space, but up to the present time it has been impossible to wisely make the changes.
We do not deem it advisable to spend any great amount of money on the present Engine House as in a short time the present quarters will be inadequate to the needs of the de- partment, and we believe the town will see fit to furnish a more suitable house more centrally located.
In accord with the vote of the town at the last annual town meeting to furnish some form of fire protection for the Shepardville district, we purchased $100.00 worth of fire ex- tinguishers and distributed them throughout the district as follows :
At the homes of Albert B. Pond, Virgil W. Maxey, Clar- ence Wilkins, David Owen, Chas. Root, M. O. Patten, Geo. B. Greenlay, J. E. Bolton and Elmer C. Young.
49
ANNUAL REPORT
We have been fortunate in having but four building fires during the year and we are pleased with the work done by the department within the water district, as the fire loss has been very small.
We have had nine forest fire calls with a total expendi- ture of $135.70, which, considering the exceedingly dry sea- son, we think is extremely fortunate.
We recommend that the town at this annual town meeting look into the matter of furnishing the department with a better fire alarm system, as the present method of giving an alarm is not efficient. Several times the past year we have been caught with low steam pressure, and we believe there should be some method of alarm that can be depended upon.
