samples is made frequently and recheck tests made if any unsatisfac- tory conditions found, mostly the results of analysis showed very high quality.
Bacteriological analysis of Town swimming pool was made at frequent intervals during the season, and in various parts of pool and environs. In event of coliform bacteria content rise, the pool was chlorinated during hours of use, and cause of bacterial increase in- vestigated. A survey was made of watershed area and analysis made of water samples taken at several locations. With increase in new building and more use of existing facilities it is necessary to maintain a constant check on current conditions as shown by laboratory analysis.

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Plainville Highway Department has completed a very busy year. The usual amount of maintenance of roads, catch basins and drainage problems were taken care of satisfactorily.
The following streets were surface treated with one-quarter gal- lon per square yard of R. C. 2 asphalt with a sand cover. West Bacon Street, a disance of 5,800 feet; Hancock Street, a distance of 4,170 feet; Spring Street, a distance of 800 feet; School Street, a distance of 2,000 feet; Shepherd Street, a distance of 2,400 feet; Mirimichi Street, a distance of 3,200 feet; Bugbee Street, 1,320 feet; Wetherel Place, 475 feet; Fremont Street, 800 feet; Potter Avenue, 600 feet; Evergreen Road, 950 feet, and Crestwood Avenue, 581 feet.
Walnut Street from West Bacon Street northerly, a distance of 1,700 feet, received an application of sand and stone asphalt road mix.
Bow Street from Hancock Street westerly, a distance of 1,600 feet, was penetrated with M. C. 2 asphalt.
Under Chapter 90 Maintenance a drainage system was installed on East Bacon Street, a distance of 900 feet from the intersection of East Bacon and George Street westerly. This consisted of 900 feet of 12 inch cement pipe, 120 feet of 10" cement pipe. Three catch basins were installed and two leaching basins at the intersection of James Street were tied in to the new system.
Under Chapter 90 New Construction on Taunton Street, 1300 feet of bituminous treated gravel surface road was constructed. This work consisted of excavating, filling, refinishing; 12 catch basins and 4 man holes and 1,400 feet of 12" cement pipe, 300 feet of 10" cement pipe and 12 feet of 18 inch cement pipe.
Under the drainage program 450 feet of 12 inch pipe and 30 feet of 24 inch A. C. C. M. pipe and one manhole was installed on Walnut Street.
Lincoln Avenue from Pleasant Street to Grove Street, a distance of 464 feet, a 15 inch concrete pipe was installed and two catch basins

enlarged. Huntington Avenue, one catch basin enlarged and drain field installed. One new catch basin on Grant Street, two leaching basins enlarged and drain field on Robbins Street. Laurel Avenue, one catch basin enlarged with drain field.
Under the sidewalk program 800 feet of class 1 bituminous con- crete walk was constructed on South Street from School Street to Broad Street. Also on South Street from Coombs Place to Pleasant Street.
The Old Cemetery on West Bacon Street was mowed and cleaned up during the summer months.
Hurricane Donna gave the department two weeks of unexpected clean-up work, as did the blizzard of December 12, 1960.
I wish to thank all the departments for their cooperation and assistance in these two emergencies.
This year the Highway Department is asking for an appropriation to start a communication system, which will help this department immensely.
In submitting this report, I again wish to thank your board and the members of this department for the splendid cooperation shown during the past year.

PLAINVILLE WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS 1960
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
We wish to submit the following report of the Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1960.
Several new meters were installed and many not in working order replaced. Stock was checked and broken meters were recon- ditioned. All requests and complaints have been handled as promptly as possible.
The North Attleboro Water Department again requested that a meter and pit be put in at West Street, North Atleboro-Plainville Town Line. The meter has been purchased, with estimate for the pit received. This work will be done in the Spring.
It became necessary to replace one old service on South Street, and sixteen (16) new services were installed.
The chairman of the board met with representatives of the Annox Company, West Bacon Street, several times in reference to water needs for their plant expansion, and with the Fire Underwriters for protec- tion requirements. To meet the demands required calls for the exten- sion of the ten (10) inch main from the Whiting & Davis Company to Fletcher Street, as specified in the Article of the Town Report.
This year the commissioners are asking for authorization to pro- ceed with the vital Water Expansion Program, as per the 1958 Camp, Dresser & McKee survey. At that time they estimated 180,000 gallons of water were used per day. Department records show that based on a twelve (12) month useage, 341,600 gallons per day were used in 1960. Complete and necessary requirements are inserted in the Arti- cles. The commissioners feel they are acting in the best interest of th town, not only for the consumption, but the vital additional fire protection as well.
We wish at this time to thank the townspeople, Highway Dept., North Attleboro Water Dept., and selectmen for their cooperation dur- ing the year which was rendered this board.

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
To the citizens of Plainville:
I submit herewith my report as Inspector of Wires for the year 1960.
This year I have been working primarily on individual home wiring systems. This report will consist mostly of my findings. To illustrate, a survey of approximately 50 homes were inspected. Of these homes, 80% of those inspected the wiring was not adequate. In many cases I found the wiring to be in a very dangerous condition. Inadequate wiring and a scarcity of convenient outlets has created the familiar "octopus hook-up" in which a 2 and 3 or even a 4-way plug is inserted into a base receptacle so that a number of appliances can be connected to the outlet which was designed to serve only one. Many homes I found to be this way. The "octopus hook-up" is par- ticularly dangerous when high wattage appliances are connected. I recommended to many of the home owners that they consult a Mass. Licensed electrician to survey the existing wiring and then have him rearrange to distribute heavier loads over different circuits, and to provide sufficient convenience outlets for their needs.
Numerous townspeople have asked me how do electrical fires start? Electrical fires are no mystery. Some are caused by short circuits. Others begin with overheating either in the wiring, in a fixture or in an appliance. The six leading causes of electrical fire outbreaks are worn out appliance motors, obsolescence of wiring, or equipment, improper installations, overloading of circuit sockets or outlets, abuse of extension cords and the overheating of TV sets.
It has been very encouraging to hear from many of the towns- people for an inspection of their wiring system or problems that occur in reference to their wiring system. I am pleased to report real progress has been made in carrying out the objectives of this department.
In closing this report, may I express my sincere appreciation for the cooperation given me by the Board of Selectmen, Town depart- ments and the townspeople.
Respectfully submitted,
STILLMAN M. SPRAGUE Inspector of Wires

REPORT OF THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The outstanding event of the year from the Industrial Develop- ment point of view was the decision of the Hilsinger Corporation to move their entire operation to Plainville. Their new building is now under construction adjacent to their Anox Corporation plant off West Bacon Street. This move is in keeping with their original promise three years ago to bring the Hilsinger Corporation here if the business climate proved to be favorable.
During the year, the Industrial Development Commission met with the Planning Board to see what action should be taken to com- mence work on a Zoning By-Law. It is the opinion of the Commis- sion that zoning is of vital importance to the welfare of the town.
With the two new highways that will pass through this area in the not too distance future the Industrial Development Commission looks ahead optimistically.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board business has been for the most part routine this year. However, at recent meetings the board has been planning the preparation of a zoning by-law.
137
ANNUAL REPORT
1960
Zoning can be defined in several ways. The simplest being that zoning is the regulation of the use of the land. Also zoning is the division of a city or town by law into districts. For example, resi- dential, business, industrial, agricultural.
Each district has its own list of permitted uses for that district. This gives the town and city a much more effective control of devel- opment. While a zoning by-law is frequently thought of as a protec- tive by-law, it really should be visualized as a means of encouraging the sound growth of the community over the years. It is the basis upon which further building and development in the town will take place.
This is, of course, a very brief summary of our plans for this zoning by-law, which we intend to present to the town this year.

REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
Board of Selectmen Plainville, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The increased activity within the Town of Plainville in popula- tion, business, industry, and municipal regulation has evidenced itself in increased activities of the Town Counsel.
There is one case pending in the Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, New England Lightweight Aggre- gate Company, Inc. Vs: Board of Selectmen.
138
TOWN OF PLAINVILLE
1960
Among the major items handled on behalf of the Town were the following:
Complaint entered in District Court (1)
Enforcement-Old Age Assistance lien
Lease Land Damages (2) Eminent Domain in Land Taking
The Town Counsel has also been called upon for opinions, advice, in one degree or another, by nearly all the Town Departments.
Although there are no cases pending in Courts, other than the one previously mentioned, there are at least three items pending which would appear to involve future Court action. Indications are that there will be substantial work for the Town Counsel in 1961.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES R. MASON

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Plainville:
The Plainville Board of Selectmen herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1960. It has been a very busy and eventful year for this Board.
Several hearings were held, one on the petition of the New Eng- land Power Company, for approval of crossing Messenger, E. Bacon Street Extension, Washington, School and Berry Streets, covering their franchise for installation of a transmission line. The Board of Select- men voted unanimously to sell approximately seven acres of town owned land, known as the old Carr land, for $1,500, to the New Eng- land Power Company, to tie in with this program.
139
ANNUAL REPORT
1960
The Rabbit Hill Cranberries, Inc., were granted an extension on their soil removal permit after several hearings were held in the Town Offices.
The Board also voted to approve the addition of a third man for the Police Department, thereby giving the town around the clock police protection.
The new U. S. Post Office, for which negotiations started in 1959, was started late in 1960, will be in operation on the Old Town Hall site by the summer of 1961. This will be an addition to the center of the town, and will bring more modern facilities and service to the townspeople.
Much discussion originated from the building permit issued to the New England Lightweight Aggregate Company in September. This problem is still with the Board of Selectmen, and much time and thought have been spent on it. It is the hope of the Board that it can be solved to the best interests of the Town of Plainville.
Because of the new law passed by the Commonwealth, prohibiting the counting of ballots until the polls closed on election day, it was necessary to purchase a new ballot box. This was delivered to the town a few days before the State Election in November, and put to use on election day for the first time.
Due to the curtailment of the ambulance service from the Sturdy Memorial in Attleboro, much interest has been shown in the possibility of securing an ambulance for the Town of Plainville. A committee, comprised of citizens of the Town, is working independently of the Town Officers, to raise the needed money to purchase an ambulance, which will be made available to the town at a great saving. It is hoped the people will support this program, and also consider, favorably, the articles which will appear in the Warrant for Town Meeting, con- cerning this ambulance.
The Town Office Building and Fire Station, the maintenance of which is under the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen, has been painted on the outside, the gutters painted and windows repaired. The meeting room of the Fire Department has been re-decorated and the floors refinished. This work was done by the men of the fire de- partment and has added much to the appearance of the building.
