It is desirable that the Town Brook pumping station be completed as soon as possible and that the trunk sewer be extended at least to Storrs Avenue. The Braintree Board of Health as well as the State Department of Public Health have informed the Sewer Board of the objectionable sanitary conditions which exist in this valley due to overflowing cesspools.


Continued progress has been made in the installation of house ยท connections. A total of 61 connections were made during the past year. Two of the most important connections were those made to the properties of the Armstrong Cork Company and the Weymouth Art Leather Company, respectively.


Numerous requests have been made during the year for sewers in sections of the Town which are not now provided with this service. It is practically impossible to prevent the overflowing of cesspools during the spring of the year. Sewerage facilities should be pro- vided in these closely built-up areas as soon as the financial con- dition of the Town permits. In order to accomplish very much in this direction it will probably be necessary to supplement the W.P.A. construction program with some other form of work relief or by con- structing sewers by contract.


The Commissioners wish to express their appreciation to the mem- bers of the Sewer Department for their continued efforts toward main- taining efficient operation of the Department.


Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL M. ELLSWORTH, Chairman DWIGHT A. CHANDLER WALTER E. THOMPSON Board of Sewer Commissioners.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SEWERS


January 2, 1940.


To the Board of Sewer Commissioners


Town of Braintree, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith my report upon the activities of the Sewer De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1939.


Construction:


Sewer construction work in conjunction with the W.P.A. was car- ried on entirely in the Town Brook Pumping District.


The main line running across the meadow on the north side of Common Street was extended up the hill in back of the Auto Grave- yard and beneath the railroad tracks near Capen's Bridge to connect with the sewers that were built last year in the traffic circle and Church Street.


Beginning on Common Street at the Town Brook crossing and running parallel to the brook towards Storrs Avenue a main sewer was constructed as far as Staten Road.


The total cost of the above sewer work amounted to $26,144 of which $18,401 was financed by Federal Funds.


About the middle of July the sub-structure of the pumping station for the Town Brook Pumping District was started with W.P.A. labor. The station is located on the south side of Common Street next to the brook. Fine water-bearing sand made it necessary to use wellpoints in addition to tongue and groove sheeting to control the excavation. The two lower floors and ten feet of side walls were completed by the latter part of November when all operations were suspended for the winter.


The sub-structure of the pumping station is now about 90% com- plete. The total cost of the work done to date is $16,824 of which $6653 was financed by Federal Funds.


The latter part of August the Finance Committee authorized the transfer of a sum of money from the reserve fund for the construction of a sewer in Myrtle Avenue and extending across the railroad tracks to the property of the Armstrong Cork Company. This work was com- pleted by the middle of November at a total cost of $1454.


The Finance Committee also authorized the transfer of a sum of money from the reserve fund for the construction of a sewer from the . main line between Pearl and Union Streets to the property of the Wey- mouth Art Leather Company, which had recently located in the old reclamation plant shops in South Braintree. This work was completed by the middle of December at a total cost of $863.


The following is a summary of sewers constructed this year:

The sewers in the Town Brook Pumping District will not be avail- able for use until the pumping station is completed and put into operation.


House Connections:


There were 61 sewer connections, totalling 3,823 feet, made to the system during the year at a total cost of $5,629. The total num- ber of connections is now 535.


Where the sewers are available about 45% of the buildings are connected.


The actual cost of a connection depends upon the depth and kind of excavation, and is billed to the owner of the property upon the completion of the work. No advance deposit is required and the cost may be apportioned over a period of ten years.


Maintenance:


There were no stoppages in any of the main or lateral sewers during the year. Partial blockades of sticks and boulders were re- moved from the manholes in the rights of way between Pearl and Union Streets and between Union and River Streets.


The small automatic pumping station off Brookside Road was operated at a cost of $98.71 for electricity. No trouble was experi- enced with the operation of this station during the year.


The Sewer Department's 11/2 ton dump truck was operated a total of 1232 hours at an average cost of $0.94 per hour. The De- partment's air compressor was operated a total of 1137 hours at an average cost of $1.69 per hour. These rates include the operator, de- preciation, insurance and all other charges necessary for operating and maintaining the equipment.


.Two percent discounts taken during the year amounted to $281.38.


187


There were 6 sewer assessments levied amounting to $2,463.18. The total assessment levy is now $234,096.47. The collections this year amounted to $18,559.90 making a total of $166,672.69 to date, including interest, or 71% of the levy.


Drainage Study:


On account of other work in progress it was impossible to do more than a very limited amount of locating of existing drains in connection with the drainage study.

Report of the Town Counsel for the Year 1939


At the end of the year 1938, your Town Counsel submitted for publication the first report of that department which has appeared for some years, in response to a request of the Town Meeting. In that report, I attempted to divide and classify the work of the department for a better understanding by the public. It is unnecessary to repeat that classification.


A large part of the work of the department this year, as in the past, has consisted of almost daily advice to the officials of the Town with reference to the conduct of and the problems arising in their departments. Most of these problems are disposed of pursuant to such advice. During the current year the calls for this type of service have come from all of the operating departments of the Town. The great bulk of this type of work, however, has been performed with the Board of Selectmen on problems of general management.


While some of the problems due to special circumstances arising in the year 1938 have not recurred during the year immediately past because of more normal operation of the affairs of the Town, other problems have taken their place. During the early part of the year, your Counsel spent much time with the Town Clerk, for whose assist- ance he is deeply appreciative, in arranging matters for the smooth operation of our new form of Town Meeting. More recently, much time has been spent in formulating with the Selectmen a set of traffic and parking regulations which, when adopted, should fill a need which has long been apparent. Further extensive work of a similar nature has been performed in connection with the committee appointed at the last annual meeting to study the By-Laws, as a result of which, it now appears probable that a revised code of By-Laws will be presented at the next annual meeting for adoption.


With reference to litigation and the disposition of claims against the Town, there have not been so many demands on the Town Treasury as in the immediately preceding years. In the land damage classifica- tion, while there were several small settlements made on highway taking's, there has been only one substantial payment and that one, of approximately $1800, was paid pursuant to a judgment following a trial by jury, and the payment was less than the amount for which the case could have been settled. There are pending at present eight peti- tions for land damage in the Superior Court, most of which, however, do not affect tax levy departments and will not, therefore, be a serious burden on the taxpayers when they are disposed of.


191


A more serious and sharply contested piece of litigation has arisen over the claim of the Crystal Concrete Corporation that the Town ex- ceeded its rights on lease of a gravel pit, which lease was made in 1932 and expired in 1937. The case has already been tried at great length before a Master, who has made his findings. These findings are not, in their present form, acceptable either to the plaintiff corporation or the defendant Town. It now appears, therefore, that this piece of litiga- tion will continue through the appeal stages during the current year.


A conservative attitude toward the settlement of claims and suits arising from alleged highway defects has resulted in a sharp decline in the number and amount of such claims.


There has been some routine litigation by and against the Town with reference to cross-claims between this and other towns, or between this Town and the State, most of which has been disposed of without actual trial, some of which is still pending.


Three cases were tried before the Board of Tax Appeals and in only one of those cases did the applicant receive on appeal the abatement which he sought.


Assistance has been rendered to the Treasurer's Department in Land Court proceedings to foreclose tax titles which have matured. In addition to decrees which have brought vacant land into the possession of the Town, there have been two decrees on which residential proper- ties have come into the possession of the Town. This fact raises very sharply the necessity for establishing a more definite policy as to the management of such property which comes into the possession of the Town and is not immediately resold. Of the parcels of vacant land which have been foreclosed, twelve have been sold during the year under authority given by the Town Meeting. In this connection, I will renew my recommendation of the previous year that provision be made for a careful indexing, listing and appraisal of this property, so that it may be offered for sale in a manner which would yield a substantial revenue to the Town. .


In conclusion, I wish to thank all of the Town Departments and officials for the cooperation and courteous assistance which I have re- ceived from them during the year, and to assure them that I am ready at any time to respond to their requests for the services of this depart- ment.


Respectfully submitted,


RICHARD A. HUNT,


Town Counsel.

ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


Electric Light Department OF THE Town of Braintree FROM


December 31, '38 to December 31, '35


194


The year just ended has been an eventful as well as a gratifying one.


The eventful part was the retirement of Mr. Lawrence as Superin- tendent and General Manager, after thirty years of faithful and effi- cient service under whose able supervision the plant has grown from a meager proposition to one with a value of over a million dollars. All this has been done out of the earnings of the Department and at the same time selling electricity to the citizens at among the lowest price of any in the Commonwealth.


The gratifying part is that the Department has shown a substan- tial growth and improvement the past year. Net Operating revenues show an increase of $51,371.39; Balance to profit and loss an increase of $51,943.46; while operating expenses show a decrease of $20,079.95.


K.W. hours generated show an increase of 2,696,200. Our sales of K.W. hours an increase of 2,058,560; while the amount of K.W. hours purchased show a decrease of 856,800.


The Department has contracted for a 10,000 sq. ft. condenser and a 7,500 K.W. turbine to be installed in 1940 which will give the plant considerably more than double its present capacity and should be sufficient for a number of years of increased demand and growth.


This necessitated the enlargement of the building to house the new equipment. This work is very nearly completed. All of these improve- ments and enlargements will be taken care of out of earnings.


After the retirement of Mr. Lawrence, your Commissioners ob- tained the services of Ernest T. Fulton to act as Superintendent and General Manager.


Mr. Fulton comes very well recommended and we believe qualified to carry out the conservative and well proven policies of the past.


It is the aim of the Commission to furnish current and service at the lowest possible rate and to continue the policy of giving Braintree uninterrupted and economical service.
