ANNUAL REPORT REPORT OF FINE ENGINEERS
Plainville, Mass., Feb. 2, 1925.
Report of Fire Engineers for the year ending Dec- ember 31st, 1924.
During the year the Fire Department answered 35 alarms. Seven were for house fires and twenty-eight for forest fires.
The Board of Engineers recommends larger quar- ters, as there is not enough floor space to accommodate the apparatus. To replace hose on apparatus, it is necessary to run apparatus outside, which is very in- convenient in cold or stormy weather.
Respectfully submitted,
RICHARD F. BARTON, R. PERSY RHODES, ARTHUR L. MARTIN, Engineers.

The transportation of the school children by motor vehicle makes it necessary ti keep the roads in the out- lying districts in a more passable conditions in the winter time, and requires a greater outlay to take care of the snow.
The principal repairs on the West side of the town have been as follows :
Warren Street-1800 feet of gravel and stone. Fales Street-400 feet of gravel and stone, also a new bridge.
High Street-500 feet of gravel and stone.
Cross Street-1700 feet of gravel and stone.
Walnut Street-300 feet of gravel and stone. Peck Street-Culvert pipes put in, and brush and trees trimmed on side of road.
* $688.05 was used for the removel of snow.
105
ANNUAL REPORT
Whereever possible all roads have been widened 2 feet or more, and good gutters put in.
Gutters have been cleaned in the fall.
The principal repairs in the Center of the town have been as follows :
All roads were scraped, and several graveled for short stretches.
West Bacon Street from the foot of the Railroad bridge to Wtlnut Street was scraped, reshaped and treated with a coat of oil. A coat of tar was applied on West Bacon Street from South Street to foot of Railroad bridge, also a short stretch on Bacon Square.
East Bacon Street was scraped, reshaped and treat- ed with tar as far as Pleasant Street.
Pleasant Street from East Bacon to residence of C. Clampitt, was graveled, rolled and treated with tar.
All roads given treatment of tar will have to be patched and given another treatment this year, which should leave them in a very satisfactory condition. Would suggest that West Bacon Street be continued to the North Attleboro line with treatment of tar after reshaping, which would eliminate some of the heavy traffic at center of town at noon and night.
The sidewalks on West side of South Street from residence of Robert McNeill to Russell's were given a covering of stone dust, also School Street both sides as far as Spring and Cottage Streets on one side.
1500 feet of permanent sidewalk was put in on the west side of Bason Street. (Under the Better- ment Act.)
The appropriation for School Street has been used with a slight overdraw, and has put it in passa- ble condition, but requires a further outlay of about $300.00 to take care of the water at the top of the hill which menaces the work already done.
106
ANNUAL REPORT
The principal repairs on the East side of the town have been as follows :
Washington Street, near residence of Benkers; 400 feet of gravel and stone.
Hancock's Hill-graveled.
George Street-1000 feet of gravel.
Taunton Street-700 feet of stone and gravel.
Mirimichi Street has been put in good shape for winter travel, and has been widened, drained and graveled to a considerable extent with the material aid of non-resident users. Special thanks should be extended to Wm. H. Saart of Attleboro, Orin W. Clifford and Albert Gray of North Attleboro. One place of said street might have special mention, as it is very bad in the spring of the year, is opposite the approach to the Red Man's Camp where the water stood on the East side and worked under the road. This has been drained by a 100 foot ditch car- ried under the roadway 40 feet with a 10 inch Armco iron culvert with a concrete head wall to an open ditch to Mirimichi Lake. An ease- ment for same has been procured, and register- ed at Dedham, over the land of Albert Gray, and by the time this report has been printed will be in the hands of the Town Treasurer.
General repairs and mowing brush has also been done.
