In connection with this extension the board thought it would be wise to connect the pipe on Grove street, from Melchner street to Brunner street, and this was done by Mr. Germaine. It has proved a wise move, as those who live on Brunner street and South street in this vicinity will
32
ANNUAL REPORT
testify, as it has done away with a bad dead end and not only gave better water to residents, but saved a large amount of waste at the end.
It would be well if the voters of this town would have us extend the mains from Brunner street to Bugbee street, which would help out at Bugbee street very much.
On August 19, at a special town meeting, it was voted to extend the mains on South street from E. C. Barney's end to a point above Mr. Foster's residence north, and the Com- missioners were instructed to construct this extension on the five per cent. basis.
The Board procured the services of Mr. W. S. Johnson, C. E., of Boston, and on his advice called for bids. As in the spring, Mr. Germaine was the lowest bidder, although the risk that had to be taken on the state highway in in- surance and bonds made all the bids come high. Pipe was high and everything that was wanted for this extension came higher than usual and there was much more rock under the surface than we expected to find. The work is completed, except the cleaning of the highway, which will be done as soon as the ground settles.
Another very important matter to be attended to was the stand pipe, which needed painting very badly. The Board invited the Rhode Island Roofing & Painting Co. to call, and on examination they agreed to scrape and paint the standpipe two coats of Graphite paint and guarantee the same for five years for $219.50. Of this, $119 30 was to be paid on completion of the work and the other $100.00 to be paid on or before May 15, 1913. The contract was made and the work completed in a satisfactory manner. The balance of $100.00 is yet to be paid.
The large amount of work done has called for a large amount of supplies and other necessities to work with, but everything has been done that could be with the money at our disposal.
The water from the wells is coming about the same as
33
ANNUAL REPORT
usual, there being ample supply at all times. The iron in the water varies with the amount of water in the ground and the longer and harder runs of the pump to keep the system to the usual pressure. But taking all together, it has been very satisfactory.
The water used this year has rather exceeded our ex- pectations, but this is accounted for by the number of new services that has been put on and in the new extensions that have been made.

ANNUAL REPORT
In making our recommendations this year, we must call your attention to the larger number of services that require much more water pumped, therefore will require more money for pumping, as the average amount each month exceeds 1,000,000 gallons pumped.
For incidentals we recommend $:00.00 and receipts from supplies.
For Construction, the unexpended balance from 1912 account, as there are still bills to pay on the South Street extension, $455.51.
For Water Pumping, $1,150.00.
In all probability there will be as much water pumped this year as last and perhaps more.
In connection with these recommendations we wish to impress upon the voters of the town the fact that the con- tract for pumping water will expire in a year more with the parties now doing the pumping, and to your Water Com- missioners it looks as though somehting should be done at this time looking towards the establishment of a Pumping Plant of our own. It is not necessary to install all that eventually will be required for this work, but about one-half at first will meet the requirements.
It would be necessary to have either a brick or cement house, a pump a little larger than the one now in use, a motor large enough to run it, and a gasoline engine for secondary power in case electricity should fail at any time when water is needed for fire purposes. These with the necessary connections at the station and the removing of what there is in the new factory would place the town in a far better position in case of a fire like the one encountered a year ago than though a new contract with the present parties was made. We recommend that you earnestly think over this matter before town meeting, if possible.
The accounts follow.

Report of Inspector of Animals
PLAINVILLE, MASS., February 12, 1913.
To the Selectmen of Plainville :
GENTLEMEN :- I have inspected one hundred and forty- eight (148) cows in milk, forty-two (42) cows that were dry, five (5) bulls, eighty-five (85) young stock, one (1) goat and seventy-one (1) swine.
I have quarantined and caused to be destroyed one cow afflicted with the disease known as tuberculosis.
The State Board of Health require that cows should be kept clean. In inspecting barns, I find some where the floor of the linter should be raised, so that the cows when they lie down would be reasonably clean. A producer of milk can- not get sanitary milk from a dirty cow.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES N. MOORE,
Inspector of Animals.
Report of Fire Engineers
To the Board of Selectmen :
Your Board of Engineers submit the following report :
During the month of April the fire engineers, Chief Coombs and assistants Collier and Whiting, having re- signed, the present board were appointed and organized as follows : R. R. Rhodes, chief ; Fred W. Northup, clerk and first assistant; Ed. H. Nelson, second assistant in charge of supplies and repairs.
The town has been particularly fortunate in the matter of alarms and serious fires for the past year, there having been nothing more serious than two slight chimney fires, both extinguished without difficulty or loss.
For the matter of forest fires, we have also had much less to do than is usually the case in the fall. The most serious occuring in the Blake's Hill district on the 17th, 18th and 20th of October.
In the matter of new equipment, there has been pur- chased during the year two single swinging harnesses of the most modern pattern, which greatly obviate the delay of adjusting straps and buckles when an alarm comes in. Also two Eastman nozzles at a cost of $90, with all the latest attachments, which can easily be controlled by a single · man, where formally it took three.
The forest fire wagon has been fitted as a hose wagon for use after the danger of forest fires is over, with hose 650 ft., extension ladder, roof ladder and extinguishers, and the Eastman nozzles are carried in a special rack.
4I
ANNUAL REPORT
One special feature that has been added consists of a gas heater to prevent the freezing of the chemicals in severe weather, which works perfectly, at small expense and does away with all coal bills and janitor service, which two items cut into the appropriation considerably besides doing away with all dust and ashes that formerly compeled constant cleaning of wagons and equipment.
During the year en extension to the building has been add- ed in the rear which now enables the truck to be more easily handled on the floor. Also various cupboards and shelves for the care of department property besides the usual small supplies, rubber coats, etc.
For the coming year, the Board would recommend that the usual sum of $500 be granted, as more or less new hose must be purchased each year, together with the usual re- pairs and supplies.
Your Board called the attention of Engineers to the mat- ter of a better alarm, as the present system is not entirely satisfactory at all times, for while the employees of the Factory Trust are willing and accommodating, there is not a large enough head of steam to be sure of sufficient pres- sure to blow the whistle. The Engineers accordingly wrote to The Gamewell and the Loper companies to secure an estimate of the probable cost of installing a system and re- ceived no satisfaction from one concern, while the other courteously sent an agent to personally look over the ground, and after consultation with us, he wrote us the following letter, which explain itself.
Boston, Mass., Feb. 5, 1913.
Mr. E. H. Nelson,
Plainville, Mass.
Dear Sir :- After my interview with you last week, I beg to confirm my verbal recommendations as follows: I would recommend the installation of a diaphone compressed air plant located on your hose house or some suitable cen-
42
ANNUAL REPORT
trally located place; the installation of 12 or 14 boxes; storage battery and controlling board, and a 6-in. gong in each of the three engineer's houses; together with the necessary covered wire, same to be run on poles already set in your streets, as a suitable fire alarm for your town.
While the plant above outlined can probably be installed for about $3200 to $3300, I would recommend that you ask the town for an appropriation not to exceed $3500, as there will always other tappers, or possibly additional boxes, which you will think necessary to install after the appro- priation is made.
After leaving Plainville, I have thought over the loca- tion of storage battery and whistle plant, which I suggested could be put in a basement which you would make under the hose house. Before absolutely recommending this location, I would like to look at some other buildings, as I am afraid of the moisture which might be present in this basement. This, however, will not interfere with the approximate figure given you above.
Holding ourselves in readiness to give you any further information, and trusting that your town will appropriate the money for this important public improvement, I re- main
Yours very truly, A. V. WHEELER, Agent.
Should the Town desire merely an alarm, a plant could be installed, (alarm only), for about $1400, which would an- swer the purpose for a time, or until the Town saw fit to increase it.
During the year the following bills have been approved :

Report of Trustees of Public Library
The Public Library during the past year shows an in- creased use of the books over that of the preceeding year, amounting to an increase of eighteen and one-half per cent., which is gratifying to the Trustees and should be to the town.
In the percentage of readers to the population of the town, compared with others towns, we rank quite low, al-" though about one hundred new cards were issued during the year. The issuing of these cards does not indicate that there are added a hundred steady readers, as many are among the people who are not permanent residents, or the in- dustrial conditions and other reasons do not permit all to be termed steady or permanent readers. Our circulation is equivalent to about one hundred readers per week. The circulation was 3,436 during 1911 and 4,072 the past year.
By the addition of about 400 volumes during the past year, the number of books now in the library is approxi- mately three thousand, about two-thirds of which is fiction. Fiction circulates as in many other towns, being almost the entire output, but all possible care is taken to furnish works of good character and merit.
Commendation has been freely expressed by visitors and new comers as to the high quality of our books in other branches of standard literature, and we would recommend to our patrons the reading of more general literature, as history, biography, travels, science and art, and works of like character, as we would like to establish a little better record than about three per cent. of reading other than
45
ANNUAL REPORT
fiction. Our juveniles are of good quality and a good pro- portion of books for young readers is constantly being added.
The open shelf system is the same as heretofore, afford- ing ample means of judging the character of any work and aiding greatly in the selection.
The Friday afternoon use of the library by a good num- ber of our patrons is very much appreciated.
The addition of a much needed desk and additional book stacks and furnishings has been made and the care of the room has been placed with the janitor.
Better facilities for readers will be furnished when cata- logues now in preparation become completed and addi- tions of new books will be announced in proper form.
As the library grows and increased interest in school work and help grow with it ånd an effort is made at all times to make the library beneficial to the schools and in- dustrial interests of the town, and a better acquaintance with the valuable books we now have will result in great benefit to our citizens.
The amount of money available for use during the past year has been carefully expended. The balance of $100.19 of the preceding year together with the appropriation of $400.00 amounted to $500.18, of which sum $449.74 has been expended as follows :
