ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Town of Plainville Plainville, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The year 1946 saw much activity in the Water Department.
Three (3) leaks were repaired and three (3) new services installed and one (1) service renewed.
At a special Town Meeting in May, water extension was voted on Potter Avenue, Hillcrest Drive and Mathurin Road, a total of eighteen hundred feet, and $3,500.00 was appropriated.
Cement pipe was ordered from the Johns-Manville Com- pany, but conditions were so confused that late in November we borrowed all the pipe available from Millis and Norton, and layed five hundred fifty-five feet. On December 24th our first shipment of six hundred feet arrived and the pipe bor- rowed was returned. Nine (9) new houses on Potter Avenue were connected and one old one. We recommend $4,850.00 be appropriated for the Water Department in 1947.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
In submitting our report for the year 1946, we wish to inform you that our Department has had another very favor- able year.
1. Our losses by fire have been very small.
2. Our cost of extinguishing forest fires has been almost at a minimum.
3. Having a substantial balance on December 31 proves that once more we have not had any out of the ordinary expenses with which to cope.
Again we must call to your attention the fact that our equipment is becoming very antiquated and we are asking for an appropriation at Town Meeting for some replacements.
We wish to thank your Board for the fine cooperation you have given us.

REPORT OF PARK AND PLAYGROUND COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Park and Playground Commisisoners herewith sub- mit their annual report.
It has been difficult to keep the park in perfect condition, due to the shortage of labor. A woman was employed after- noons to look after the children and a boy to clean the park and mow the grass in the mornings. While this worked out fairly well, it would be better to have a man to do the heavy work around the grounds.
We were unable to buy new apparatus until late in the season, and since the closing of the playgrounds we have ac- quired new see-saws and giant swings. It will be necessary to buy a new diving board and baby swings in the spring. We hope to have the playground in first-class condition once again this summer.
18 baseball games and 10 softball games were played.
Youngsters continue to do a great deal of damage around the grounds and it is difficult to cope with them.
We desire an appropriation of $625.00.
