ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


In submitting our report for the year ending December 31, 1954, we would like to call to your attention, that during the year, with the help of the members of our department, we were able to make over the 1929 Ford truck into a good looking and more practical truck for Forest Fire Service. Also with the help of the Plainville Tool Company and the Whiting & Davis Company, we have almost completed the Chevrolet Truck, which was given us last year. This truck is equipped with a midship pump, either to pump direct or from draft. It has a water capacity of 600 gallons, which will be very practical for the outlying district, as well as for Forest Fire Service. We wish to thank the boys for their help on these two trucks without any compensation.


During the year this department, as well as the town, lost a very valuable man, Ex-Chief C. F. Henrich. He joined the department in 1911, became chief from 1937 until 1950. From 1950 to 1954 he was a member of the Board of Fire Engineers. This department will always respect Chris, and long remember him as Chief. His vacancy was filled with the appointment of Clarence Skinner, Jr.


A Mutual Aid Pack, consisting of eight towns and city, was formed during 1954. This department had eight runs out of town, in order that the men become acquainted with the par- ticipating towns and city, for the purpose of each department knowing what the other departments had to offer in equipment and men. This also gave us a good idea of just how long it would take to reach each town or city, should it ever be neces- sary to call for help in case of a serious fire.


We answered 53 box calls, 12 still alarms and a great many calls to investigate. As the town is growing so fast and the demands are getting greater, we have inserted an article in the Town Warrant, to appoint a committee to look into advisa- bility of having a permanent department.


106


ANNUAL REPORT


In October, we held a fire drill at all school buildings, made inspections, a detail report of which was sent to the selectman. The results of the drills are as follows:


High School 88 pupils 45 seconds-average per pupil .0051


Elementary School 326 pupils 80 seconds-average per pupil .0025


Dominican


Academy 180-pupils 65 seconds-average per pupil .0035


The Board of Fire Engineers feel that the three articles which we have placed in the Town Warrant should be given a great deal of consideration, by all.


We again wish to thank the town officials and the resi- dents of the town for their help during the year, and also to invite one and all to visit our station and look over our equip- ment. We should also suggest the new home owners learn their box number, in order to save time if necessary to call the station. Also persons calling the department in an emergency, make it known, to the operator, that they want the Plainville Fire Dept., as the operators being in North Attleboro, would ring the No. Attleboro Fire Dept.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


The year 1954 has been the busiest in the history of the Water Department.


During the year 143 new services were installed. Approx- imately 100 of these were in new developments and the expense of installation was borne by the developers. Seven old services were renewed.


The hydrant at the corner of Pleasant St. and South St. has been replaced because the old one was badly damaged. Another broken hydrant on Wades Hill, the result of an auto- mobile accident, was covered by insurance and has been replaced at no cost to the town.


Water Extensions


The School St. project was completed with 1900' of 6" cast iron water mains, four (4) hydrants and two (2) serv- ices installed.

The metering program is progressing satisfactorily and complete installation of 500 water meters by April 1, 1955, should be expected. It is the opinion of the Water Commis- sioners that by repairing some of the old meters an increase in the active inventory by approximately 50 meters could be made. This would give a good operating supply to help take care of future building.


For an example of increased revenue which can be ex- pected when all meters are installed we wish to cite the following: One of the water commissioners had a meter installed in July of 1954; by December of 1954 the meter


112


ANNUAL REPORT


read 47,000 gallons-7,000 gallons over the yearly allowance in only six months. This consumption was for a family of five with no watering of lawns, etc .- just normal usage. In view of this, we are even more optimistic for the financial well-being of the water department after metering than ever before.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


This has been a most successful year for the Town Park which officially opened June 28th, and closed September 4th. The total attendance for the ten week period was 9824 with an average daily of 140. This does not include attendance after 5 p.m. when the Park is not under supervision.


This year the Park was under the supervision of Mr. Morton Milesky and Mr. Kenneth Sharpe. This is the first year we have had two supervisors and we feel that the extra coverage is well worthwhile, especially as we were able to arrange the schedule to include Sundays.


Mr. Milesky had charge of the swimming pool and once again Red Cross swimming lessons were offered to the young- sters of Plainville. One hundred and forty-eight children registered in the four classes. These classes ran for seven weeks.


Mr. Sharpe supervised a successful athletic program. This included baseball, softball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, badminton and deck tennis.


We were most fortunate once more to have the Fourth of July Committee donate their proceeds to the Park. This year they had sixty-eight feet of six foot fence installed around the area reserved for small children, purchased a twenty foot slide, a twelve foot slide and an outdoor basket- ball outfit.


For the first time in many years Band Concerts were held in the Park. These were sponsored by the Fourth of July Committee.


Due to the ever increasing attendance through the sum- mer months the Board feels the swimming pool should be widened and that a new bath house should be erected in the near future.

We wish to express our appreciation to the many people who cooperated with this Board throughout the summer.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


The annual report of the trustees of the public library for the year ending December 31, 1954 is one of progress. Although the library building is in poor repair and the book stock is even poorer both in quality and quantity, plans are being formulated for many improvements. During December the library was favored by a visit from Miss Alice Cahill, Field Supervisor of the Division of Library Service of the Massachusetts Department of Education. In her report she advises that we engage the services of a qualified person to survey our local situation and make specific recommenda- tions regarding our physical plant, i.e., to renovate the present structure or to build a new library. In the meantime the town is growing and our citizens, particularly our children, are in need of good library service. Much can be done imme- diately to improve the present facilities. In the latest pur- chase of books we included the Columbia Encyclopedia in one volume, the 1955 World Almanac, a good collegiate dic- tionary and the Hammond Ambassador atlas. With these books most school reference questions can be answered. In the spring the collection will be classified and catalogued and a card index established. As we discard wornout books, the state will lend us collections of books to fill the gaps until funds are available to us for further purchases. A borrowers' file has been established by Violet Reynolds, the librarian, to determine the extent of the use of the library.


In our next annual report we intend to place the entire library problem before the townspeople. By then we hope to be able to answer intelligently and accurately the many questions we all have concerning library service in Plain- ville. In the meantime we shall rely on the press to keep you informed of further developments as they occur.

ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN


The Board of Selectmen have been confronted with many new problems resulting from the rapid growth of the Town. Many extra meetings were held by the Board, sometimes as many as four in a week, to discuss with contractors and engineers of the sub-divisions, the relocation of streets, in- creased size of lots, additional drainage, installation of water and hydrants.


The hurricanes, Carol and Edna, brought many problems. Through the fine cooperation of the various town depart- ments, and the townspeople, the highways of the town were open to traffic in a few hours. We wish to thank Cooper's Appliance Service for the two-way radio communication during the emergency. The greater portion of the expense of these two hurricanes will be reimburseable by the Com- monwealth.


In the Center of Town, the following streets received surface treatment; Bugbee, Grove, Lincoln, Cottage, Pleasant and Fletcher.


The outlying districts were surfaced under Chapter 81, and these include Hancock, Cross, High, Warren, Walnut, Shepard, George, Berry, Hillside Road and School Street. On many of these streets brush was cut back. The dirt roads were graveled and scraped throughout the year.


Under Chapter 90, the cracks on Taunton Street were filled. On Route #106, two thousand feet was resurfaced. On East Bacon Street four hundred feet of complete recon- struction and drainage was repaired.


A complete drainage system was installed on West Bacon Street for nine hundred fifty feet southerly from Warren Street.


We are again asking an appropriation to continue the drainage program.


The following sidewalks were completed this year. The southerly and easterly side of the Methodist Church, about


122


ANNUAL REPORT


440 feet; the westerly side of South Street to the North Attle- boro line, two hundred sixty-five feet; the northerly side of Pleasant Street from the Cloutier property westerly to South Street, three hundred feet; East Bacon Street from Potter Avenue to Vernon Young Drive about four hundred and fifty feet.


We are again asking for another appropriation for side- walk extensions.


The Old Cemetery on West Bacon Street was cleared of all brush and undergrowth by the Highway Department. Some dead trees in the rear were removed and burned. The stone wall was repaired.


A large part of the grounds have been harrowed and will be levelled off and reseeded next spring. A further appropriation will be necessary to continue the upkeep of this cemetery.


The Board acknowledges the fine cooperation of the various Town Departments during the past year.
