STEAM ROLLERS.
When it was found that there was no chance of obtaining a new roller, the recommendations of the boiler inspector for retubing both of our old jobs were carried out and several new parts for our maintenance roller were purchased and set. Outside of the retubing and tightening up of some stud bolts, our own steam-rollerman did the mechanical work as well as the rolling. He has also been used to great advantage in handling some of our gasoline engine equipment and his spirit in helping out was worthy of commendation.
AUTOMOBILES.
The two Mack trucks purchased last year have continued to give a very worthy account of themselves, both in the service rendered and in the availability to handle situations under pressure in emergency. The
114
ANNUAL REPORT
International truck bought for patching was broken in smoothly and has performed very satisfactorily. The current running expense of these machines is charged against the work to which they are assigned and the maintenance item listed in this report includes only direct maintenance charges. The recommendation for another Bull-dog Mack is of especial interest to the Superintendent at this time and particularly where it is figured as a year around truck.
DUST LAYER AND TAR.
Beyond question, the Standard Oil Co. has furnished dust layer and binder to the City this year at a price applied which has been more than reasonable. The service of this Company has been Grade "A" and I am sure that when the expense is considered for the amount of work done, the co-ordination of the City forces with those of the Company will receive worthy consideration.
The Tar Products Co. of Providence and the Barrett Co. of Everett have contributed to the tar side of our gravel road treatment and while the Barrett Co. has a price a little higher than the Tar Products Co. to this City, owing to its location, I feel sure that the quality of material and service has made any work they have done for us an investment to the City. In the early season the Tar Products Co. did all in their power to give us a flying start, but as the season waxed older they did not. in my opinion, maintain the initial pace. The benefits of asphaltic oil treat- ments on our side streets will begin to show up in another year and the satisfaction as expressed by several of our citizens in having this sort of oil, which adds something permanently to the road, convinces the writer that our citizens are interested and observant of any work done upon the highways.
LIGHTING.
The Attleboro Steam and Electric Company has given its usual good service to the City during the past year and have always been ready to oblige this Department upon request. There is some agitation for a differ- ent layout of lights, but I believe that before the present system is changed it would be a splendid thing to have a fair sized general committee of trained observers study the needs of the Community and recommend the changes as desired.
TEN MILE RIVER.
The Ten Mile River should be maintained in a manner better than we have been able to maintain it heretofore. This applies also to Thacher Brook, and I am convinced that a definite plan could be worked, if the funds were to be made available, to annually improve the conditions in these streams as they exist at present and as they have existed in years past.
WATER DIVISION.
The Trident meters manufactured by the Neptune Company, which our meter inspector found to be most favorable of the types used, were found to give very satisfactory service. We purchased forty-five new 5g" meters and one 11/2" and one 2" Trident Compounds. The services con- structed this year were considerably in excess of those laid last year and it was noticeable that the unit price obtained on the 1" and 112" was con- siderably lower. The 2", however, was quite an expensive installation and was governed by the local conditions which were met. The efforts of the personnel engaged in this work were of the best and it seems to me that charges for the work are very reasonable.
115
ANNUAL REPORT
Main line extensions were laid in Allen Avenue, Irving Avenue, Locust Street, Hawthorn Street, and Washington Street. The applications were received after the year was well under way and as a result there was a delay in obtaining materials to perform the work with. The best efforts of the Division, however, were rewarded with very reasonable costs and the citi- zens of our city should realize the continued efforts of this Division to keep their cost figures at the lowest possible ebb. Unquestionably, materials for main line work were on a rising market, which will continue through the next season and it will be advantageous to consolidate all main line extensions at as early a date as possible so that the work may be properly performed during the coming year before the frost sets in.
SHOP AND BARN ACCOUNT.
The Shop and Barn account for this Division includes coal, light, phone, running repairs, and a partial charge of equipment against a new 4" gasoline driven pump, which article should always be on hand and in working con- dition for the potential needs of the Division.
MAIN LINE EXTENSIONS.
Mr. Fuller, of Washington Street, South Attleboro, built two new houses just south of May Street and applied for water pipe for same. Our main line was extended south from May Street on Washington Street for this purpose with the usual gates and hydrants set and services installed.
On July 5, 1922, the Council voted to lay water pipe in Allen Avenue for the accommodation of the residents who had petitioned several times. The work started at the dead end on Brown Street and carried along Brown Street 127 feet and thence through Allen Avenue to Washington Street where it was coupled up with our other main, thus doing away with a dead end and giving good circulation for the included area.
A couple of new houses were erected by the Wendell boys, and upon a petition entered, it was voted to extend the water main on Locust Street. This work was done in accordance with the department requirements and the installation made at a reasonable figure. A blow-off was set and services for the new houses were installed.
While the Water Department forces were engaged in laying the main line on Washington Street, an owner of a new house on Irving Avenue properly applied and was granted a water extension to accommodate a new building. Upon the completion of the Washington Street work, the gang moved over there intact, and in a very short time completed this work. The digging was of the easiest and the gang was very well organized and a low unit cost was obtained, the conditions being as favorable as any I have ever seen.
Very late in the season so that the work was forced into the winter, a water main extension was started on Hawthorn Street and the excavation here was of the toughest kind, including boulders, hard pan, plenty of stone some of which required blasting. Beside this, inclement weather and freezing temperature handicapped the progress of the work. As soon as the water pipe was finished and the service satisfactory, the department shut down leaving the dressing off to be done in the spring.
PUMPING STATION
Mr. Cook continued in charge of the Pumping Station during the year with the same personnel which he previously had. The filtration was aided as much as possible by a very thorough cleaning on different occa- sions of the bed and a concentration for forces allowed the work to be done
116
ANNUAL REPORT
in about forty-eight hours. It seems to me that with our present limita- tions, this is the best way to accomplish the desired objective at the filter beds. Considerable trouble was had in the latter part of the year in ob- taining coal at any sort of reasonable figure. We purchased about six hundred and two tons of first grade New River coal, which ranged in price from $7.35 to $12.00 per long ton on the cars at Attleboro.
A local steeple-jack was employed to make some repairs on the chimney and, while the work was completed after considerable delay, I am posi- tive that the man handling the job could have been improved upon with mutual advantage to the City and Contractor.
The usual work to be expected around the boilers was carried on and new bricking-up was properly taken care of. It is our intention to ask for new tubes for these boilers for the coming year.
Besides the items mentioned that were taken care of by this Division, a vast amount of new team work and general improvement of records was taken over by the regular personnel and handled as well as could be ex- pected. The meters were read quarterly and every effort was made to repair and keep up the equipment. The time is now due for a large re- placement of the meters which we have working, as a considerable number of them are very old and not economical of use for the City. No new automobiles were purchased, although a Ford car was recommended to cover emergencies and I am sure would be more advantageous than the old horse we now use for hydrant and sewer flushing. There is plenty of work to be done in the Water Department before its operation and records are in a condition which will satisfy the Superintendent. However, I am pleased to report that there has been continuous progress made since the campaign started.
Having studied carefully the essentials of this department for two seasons, I am convinced: First; That the A. B. C. Street Railway can- not be expected to improve in competition with Ford cars unless a definite long term policy for operation is established very soon.
Second; That the Water Division, after a proper water waste survey, and a modern valuation, should be placed upon a basis to pay its average current expenses, all of its bonded indebtedness, maintain a fund for re -· placements and extensions, and a comfortable surplus to cover emergency needs.
Third; That there is without question a primary need in the High- way Division for more modern equipment for road construction and main- tenance, drain construction and maintenance, and bridge maintenance and construction; also the proper buildings to house and store such equip- ment as we possess and the personnel necessary to operate same.
Fourth; The permanent adjustment of a proper sewer extension plan , with a fair assessment for the extension should be settled as quickly as possible and the handling of this problem in South Attleboro definitely decided upon before the need over-reaches this department.
I tender my sincerest thanks to all of those who have contributed to the success of the past year in this department.
Respectfully submitted,
