ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The year 1949 was a busy year for your Water Depart- ment. Several extensions were voted at the Town Meeting. The School Street extension was completed, also the Vernon Young Drive and Hillcrest Drive extensions were completed.
Pleasant and Cottage Street are about half finished. Fletcher Street was not started, but most material for all work has been purchased.
Eighteen (18) new connections were made, and three (3) old services renewed. A hydrant on South Street was broken and repaired.
The black topping on the State road caused the Water De- partment to install extensions on all valve boxes.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen-
Gentlemen:
In presenting our report for the year 1949, we would like to outline some of the progress we have made in more pro- tective measures in our department.
We have purchased two "Scott Air Pack" masks (which are required by law), at a cost of $400.00. These we have had occasion to use with satisfactory results.
One new box has been added to our fire alarm system, known as Box 34, corner of Broad and South Streets. A plan has been adopted by your Board of adding at least one new box every year at an approximate cost of $400.00.
This year the Whiting and Davis Company agreed to pur- chase the material for the erection of a new alarm box at their factory if the Plainville Fire Department would extend their line and make the connection. This installation is nearly com- pleted.
During the year it was found necessary to replace the twenty-one year old portable forest fire fighting pump with a new modern easy-to-operate unit which had not been planned in our budget.
We were fortunate in being able to survive this financial setback and have a substantial balance to turn back to the taxpayers.
Again we wish to thank your Board and every member of the department for their wonderful help and co-operation.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health activities during the year were con- fined to investigation of the usual number of complaints, cess- pool and other.
Regular inspection of milk, restaurant equipment, etc., was made under the direction of Steele's Dairy and Laboratory Service. No very flagrant departures from the standards con- sidered necessary to the community's health were noted. On and after November 1, 1949, it was required that all milk delivered in the Town be pasteurized.
There were several cases of Polio in Plainville during the year, and the Board took the precaution of closing all ponds and streams to public bathing while the disease was at its height.
Disease recordings on file in the Town Office for the year 1949 were as follows:
German Measles 4 Measles 42
Whooping Cough
1 Mumps 3
Lobar Pneumonia
1 Dog Bite 12
Scarlet Fever

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PARK AND PLAYGROUND
To Honorable Board of Selectmen:
We hereby submit our annual report-
The Park and Playground was not used as much as in previous years due to the Polio scare in the town. While we did not feel that any child got the disease from the pool or would get it closed the pool on orders from the Board of Health. These precautions are necessary and wise at all times.
The ball field has been used for practice and games by the High School but not enough to justify spending a lot of money on it. The backstop has been covered with heavy wire and also has been painted.
The bath house and shelter have been painted as well as the settees.
In order to keep the Park clean and the grass mowed it was necessary to hire a man who did the painting and later in the fall cut down the brush along the east bank of the river on the westerly side of the Park.
The women attendant is for the sole purpose of caring for the children during the hours from 1 to 5 P.M.
Vandalism continues on the grounds after the Park closes at night. Bathhouse doors have been damaged, one of the cement balls on the Band Stand has been broken, apparatus thrown into the pool, it is almost impossible to stop this destruction.
We have contacted Mr. Frank Westcott who constructed the pool and he has been of great help in suggesting the right Company to repair it. We feel that something should be done immediately along this line or else a new pool constructed. Labor:
