I believe it desirable to acquire a new roller with scarifier equip- ment to properly handle the problems which face us.
AUTOMOBILES.
The two Mack trucks purchased early in 1921 have gone through a hard season and rendered good service. A new Ford runabout, with truck body, was purchased in the spring. The light International truck also has been put to very considerable use and has stood up remarkably well.
As these trucks age in service, of course, the maintenance is bound to increase, and the problem of replacement must enter into our calcula- tions.
CRUSHERS.
The general routine of overhauling our ancient crushers was gone over in the spring, and efforts to increase their efficiency met with very favorable results. There is no question whatever that the twelve years of service given by the portable Acme at North Avenue has worn it out. It should be replaced. The Farrell, under a patent dated 1880, located at Forest Street, is also utterly gone as far as obtaining any further good from it is concerned. It is true that we obtained a very considerable tonnage of stone from these outfits during the past year, but they are becoming an ever increasing burden to operate, and have about reached the point where something has got to be done if the department desires to continue crushing any of the stone used for road work or concrete work during the season.
It is the intention of this office to take up the possibilities of a trade and acquire at as reasonable a cost as possible new equipment for crush- ing, and also to campaign for a proper set of truck scales.

ANNUAL REPORT
A. B. C. RAILWAY.
The A. B. C. Street Railway, while actually being operated at a loss, continues to be a debatable asset to the community. The Railway Com- mittee of the Council during the past year has seen fit to put consider- able time into studying and demonstrating gasoline driven motor busses. The introduction of a proposition for private owners, properly bonded and guaranteeing adequate service to the abutters of the A. B. C. line, has been held up temporarily for further study of the chances of operat- ing this unit as a street railway.
Regardless of all other facts in looking this proposition over, we must explain that it was a junked railway, purchased from dealers in junked commodities, when the market for junk was notably high. Labor and material for placing this road in first-class condition have been, since its purchase, and perhaps will continue to be, excessive in price. Normal ways and means of rehabilitating the road will not return the invest- ment to the city; therefore, extraordinary treatment must be developed if the railroad is to continue its existence.
From the recommendation of the Superintendent of Public Works, the Council has requested a definite report along these lines, which will be forthcoming in 1924. Considerable might be said outside of the direct business point of view in favor of maintaining this means of transporta- tion, at least until the bonded indebtedness is properly taken care of. The problem of real estate valuations and public accomodation cannot be settled without considerable thought and work from thoroughly com- petent people. Meanwhile, the Public Works Department will do its best to continue the service as scheduled.
SEWER DIVISION.
It will be noticed that the gross expenditures for 1923 closely paral- lel those of 1922. The most noticeable difference, however, on the make-up of this gross amount is the additional labor charge required on the cleaning of the filter beds-$1,129.50, balanced against $882.77 in 1922. The ratio of increase is a direct index to the requirement in the near future of additional filterage area. With age and use, and no large scale resurfacing, of course, it is to be expected that the cleaning charges will mount as long as the wage scale remains approximately the same.
It is expected that in the near future the Ten Mile River clean-up campaign of the Health Department will bear fruit, and considerably increase the number of connections to be put in in 1924. His Honor, the Mayor, has made every effort to co-ordinate the endeavors of the dif- ferent departments to obtain a clean river. It will be well worth while for our citizens to bear in mind the need for sewer extension for serv- ice in the South Attleboro district. Each year convinces the inhabi- tants of the south end of the city more definitely of this need. Some extensions, as recommended by the Committee in the fall, will probably be authorized and constructed in the coming year.
WATER DIVISION.
The general statistics covering the year's work in the Water Division are very convincing as to the record breaking activities of this division as compared to other years back to 1914. A very considerable number of new services have been added, and other services increased in size or replaced, as the necessity demanded. Also the insurance adjustments on sprinklers for fire services have induced some of our owners to make the modern installation.
122
ANNUAL REPORT
The main line extensions were confined to six inch pipe, but there was added to the distributory system 6,304 feet, distributed on thirteen streets. Twelve of these thirteen streets it will be noticed are in South Attleboro. It might further be noticed that on Robinson Avenue a long connection between two dead ends, which has been recommended on several occasions, was finally built, and I will state at this time that there are several houses already completed on the line of this water main.
The primary recommendation from the department covering main line water extensions would be to limit the dates for application in any one year to the months prior to May 1st. In this way, a comprehensive planning of the year's work may be taken up and material obtained to properly carry out the program. It is well to bear in mind that not only during the current year, but in other years just past, it has been next to impossible to obtain pipe shipments in the early part of the year, and the pipe purchased in the latter half or quarter of the year, has been bought at an advance over the first quarter's price.
The second definite recommendation is to continue to carry out the coupling up of dead ends in order to reduce the water used in flushing. It is only fair to state that His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council seem to grasp this need, and have aided very materially in eliminating some of our bad stubs.
The third recommendation is for the elimination of all water takers outside of the city limits, and the reducing of the number of horse troughs at present kept open as quickly as is possible. This recommenda- tion is made, bearing in mind the fact that the past summer being a very dry one, has given considerable anxiety to the Water Department offi- cials; and it seems only reasonable that the precautions mentioned above should be taken as quickly as possible, in order to increase the life of our plant as it exists at present, so that its benefits may be finally reserved for our own community.
The seriousness of the 1922-1923 winter in affecting our services and mains with frost can be appreciated from a study of department figures for the first quarter. During the summer, the Lord Street replacement. on St. Jean plat, and some of our other connections were specifically recommended in order to eliminate trouble and cost to takers in that section. Further efforts have been made to reduce damage due to frost by specifying certain types of meter for exposed districts-the types specified carrying a frost bottom and reducing the item of damage caused by frost. There is no doubt in my mind but that this policy will work out to the advantage of all concerned.
SHOP, BARN, AND METERS.
The hard coal shortage has considerably affected the cost of main- taining our shop and barn. The failure of the Police Department to pay any proportion of these charges for the twenty-four hours service they obtain the year round, seems to me to be unfair. More so in this instance, because of the fact that other people dealing with the Water Division add to its revenue. In order to be consistent, I believe that the police should pay a fair rental for all of the cars housed at the water barn.
The regular quarterly and monthly readings have been kept up in excellent fashion. The men reading and inspecting the meters seem to have a keen insight in reporting troubles, so that repair» can be made where required before the failure of pipe or fittings. The carrying out of this idea has reduced considerably the night work of this division.
123
ANNUAL REPORT
Besides the regular routine work, and the record breaking efforts in main line extension and construction, our five hundred and eight (508) hydrants have been taken care of so well that we have yet to hear a report of freezing to delay fire service; and in addition the men have investigated and reported and remedied eight hundred thirty-seven (837) complaints, which constitutes in a year's time a very remarkable effort.
Without any question, it will be advisable to trade the two automo- biles now in use in the coming year. The ancient horse, long connected wth the department, has been gotten rid of, and the hydrant inspector is now using a Ford truck. I believe this development to be a real improvement.
PUMPING STATION.
Mr. Cook has been in charge of the Station during the year, and Mr. Lea, his first assistant, has replaced Mr. Mercanton. The concentra- tion of all help in order to split up the filter bed cleaning has worked out very favorably. The price of first-grade New River coal ranged from $6.70 to $11.35 on the cars at Attleboro.
Other routine matters calling for care and judgment were properly taken care of by the Chief Engineer at the Station; and the fall rains were very welcome to all of the interested people, as our ground water level had sunk almost to the limit for pumping. The connection between the filter beds and Orr's Pond was found to be leaking, so that consid- erable of our reserve water was wasting into the pond; and being noti- fied by the Chief Engineer just prior to the fall cleaning, steps were taken to have this leak repaired as expiditiously as possible. The Chief has since reported that considerable success seems to have been obtained by the repair job.
I am taking this opportunity of thanking most sincerely His Honor, the Mayor, the Municipal Council, and all of the employees who have contributed materially to the success of this department in its multitude of activities.
Yours respectfully,
J. O. TABER, JR., Supt. of Public Works.
