REPORT OF THE BRAINTREE BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
FRENCH'S COMMON:
The Common was kept in good condition all season. 95 feet of the old bleachers were taken down on account of being unsafe, and new bleachers erected four tiers high Also 75 feet of bleachers, two tiers high, erected along first base line. One hundred and forty feet of 3/4-inch pipe was put in from Tremont Street for tennis court bubbler. Also amesite walk put in between the tennis courts. A flag pole was erected in center field. The infield was resurfaced and built up two inches. All seats were painted in park and bleachers given two coats of paint.
HOLLINGSWORTH PARK:
This park was kept in good condition all summer, grass cut regular and diamond kept up. Some work was done on the outfield.
ORGANIZED PLAY:
Organized play had another successful season. Teachers had to be hired on account of the Recreation Project being discontinued. The young- sters had their usual trip to Boston to see the Red Sox play and also a trip to the beach. The Park Board takes this opportunity to thank the Selectmen and other Departments for their cooperation this past season. Mr. George Shortle judged most of the shows and was responsible for a lot of the favors the youngsters enjoyed.
Respectfully submitted,
R B. TAYLOR, Chairman CHARLES ABELL, Clerk HARRY VINTON, Jr.

Annual Report
OF THE
Sewer Department
OF THE
Town of Braintree
FROM
DECEMBER 31, 1940 to DECEMBER 31, 1941
REPORT OF THE SEWER COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of Braintree:
The Board of Sewer Commissioners respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1941.
For the first time in nearly ten years sewer construction has been carried on by the Department without any form of Federal financial aid. In our report to the Town last year we called attention to the in- creasing difficulties of carrying on sewer construction using W.P.A. labor and recommended that this practice be abandoned temporarily at least. In the 1941 budget of the Department we recommended, for new construction by contract, an appropriation of $150,000.
At the Annual Town Meeting in 1941 an appropriation of $75,000 was made most of which was to be raised by borrowing on 10-year serial bonds. This amount, together with unexpended W .. P.A. balances, etc., provided something over $80,000 for new construction. The Town Treasurer was successful in negotiating the sale of bonds in the amount of $68,000 at an interest rate of only 1 percent, the lowest rate yet paid on any of the sewer construction loans.
Unit price bids for the new construction were taken in May, 1941. The prices of the lowest bidder, to whom the contract was awarded, were lower than expected and made possible the construction of about a third more sewers than were originally anticipated. Altogether some three and three-quarter miles of sewers were constructed in twenty- nine streets in various parts of the Town, bringing the total length of sewers up to nearly 23 miles. It is our belief that the construction carried out during the past year has given greater benefits for the money spent than any construction undertaken since the original sewers were built.
The number of house connections made in 1941 greatly exceeded the number during any previous year, reaching a total of 179. This is an increase of 28 percent over the total number of connections made up to January, 1941.
More requests have been received during the past year for new sewers than ever before. Many of these requests have come from residents who have exhausted every possibility of disposing of sewage within their own premises without nuisance. These requests should not be ignored, even admitting that war emergency measures should take precedence over every other public activity. If it is true that over- flowing cesspools endanger the health of the community, then it is even more important during this critical period to correct such conditions than in normal times. It is for this reason that the Board of Sewer Com- missioners has recommended that the construction of new sewers be continued during the coming year and that an appropriation be made for this purpose at the Annual Town Meeting in 1942.
The Commissioners wish to express their appreciation to the mem- bers of the Sewer Department for their continued efforts in behalf of the Department during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL M. ELLSWORTH, Chairman DWIGHT A. CHANDLER WALTER E. THOMPSON
Board of Sewer Commissioners.

I submit herewith my report upon the activities of the Sewer Depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1941
CONTRUCTION:
This has been a very successful year for new sewer construction. About 33/4 miles of sewers were added to the sewerage system. The following tabulation shows the extent and distribution of the year's work, S-inch vitrified clay sewer pipe was used throughout.

. Detailed plans and specifications for the above work were prepared by the Sewer Department. Seven contractors submitted bids and the contract was awarded to John Williams, the low bidder. Work was started the last week in May and was completed by the first of Novem- ber. It was partly financed by issuing $68,000 of 10-year serial bond bear- ing 1% interest.
This is the first year since 1931 that sewer construction work has been carried on by contract. There can be no question but what this method of doing the work accomplishes a great deal in a relative short space of time, and at less cost than any other way. It is a fact, however, that con- tract work provides practically no employment for local labor.
The sewer in Blanchard Boulevard was constructed by, and at the expense of, the developers of Maplewood Homes Organization. Plans, specifications and supervision of the work was furnished by the Sewer De- partment.
Many urgent requests from property owners for the extension of the sewerage system to serve their properties have been received during the year. The demand for new sewers is greatly in excess of the Town's ability to finance in any one year. The following is a partial list of streets where sewers should be constructed as soon as possible: Abbott Street, Arbor- way Drive, Ash Street, Beechwood Road, Bellevue Road, Bickford Road, Brookside Road, Cedarcliff Road. Claremont Street, Cleveland Avenue, Cochato Road, Cotton Avenue, Dean Street, Devon Street, Dobson Road, Elmwood Avenue, Fairfield Street, Front Street, Hollingsworth Avenue, Hollis Avenue, Holmes Street, Judson Street, Liberty Street, Monatiquot Avenue, Morrison Road, Newton Avenue, Newton Street, Oak Street, Parkside Avenue, Parkside Circle, Pond Street, Randall Avenue, Shaw Street, Staten Road, Storrs Avenue, Talbot Road, Tenney Road, Walnut Street, Wellington Street, West Street, Windemere Circle and Wyman Road.
The sewer has already been completed in parts of some of the above streets. It is necessary, however, to extend it in order to serve the rest of the street and to take in other streets higher up.
HOUSE CONNECTIONS:
There were 179 sewer connections, totalling 9,402 feet, made to the system during the year at a total cost of $17,004.09. The total number of connections is now 807. In addition to the above, 1,098 feet was con- structed under a private contract to serve the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company's plate storage yard between Adams and Elm Streets.
The number of applications for connections were more than double that of the last few years. The local supply of labor was insufficient to handle all the work and it was necessary to employ a contractor to do 30 of the connections.
The appropriation for sewer connection work was insufficient to take care of the large number of applications. The Finance Committee made several very generous transfers from the Reserve Fund to enable the Sewer Department to carry on the work. There was still an insufficient sum available, however, to complete all of the work on hand, and it was neces- sary to postpone any action on seven of the late applications until next year.
Sewer connections are ordinarily made within two or three weeks after application by the owner of the property. The Sewer Department does all the work necessary to bring the connection to the inside wall of
116
the building. The actual cost of labor, materials and equipment is billed to the owner. No advance deposit is required and the charges may be apportioned over a period of ten years with interest at 4% per annum on the outstanding balance.
DRAINAGE STUDY :
No work was done on the drainage study during the year.
TOWN BROOK PUMPING STATION:
The unfinished electrical work at the Town Brook Pumping Station was completed and pipe railings were installed. Several tests were run on the pumping equipment furnished by the Chicago Pump Company. The output and efficiency of the pumps was very satisfactory, but the inflow characteristics were lower than expected. Fifteen percent of the contract price, as provided in the contract, has been withheld pending sat- isfactory adjustment of inflow conditions by the Chicago Pump Company.
MAINTENANCE:
There was a stoppage in the Tremont Street sewer, about the middle of September, due to a small root growth. The siphon under the Mona- tiquot River at Shaw Street became plugged the latter part of December due to large boulders and tar paper thrown into a manhole. There was some trouble the latter part of September with root growth in the Mona- tiquot School sewer connection. Two other sewer connections became plugged twice during the year. All of the above were promptly repaired and put back into service again.
It was necessary to replace the copper floats that control the auto- matic operation of the Smelt Brook Pumping Station off Brookside Road. The old floats were installed when the station was built in 1931 and had completely disintegrated in several places. There was no trouble with these pumps clogging during the year. The cost of electricity to oper- ate the Town Brook Pumping Station on Common Street amounted to $418.90.
Two percent discounts taken during the year amounted to $89.96.
ASSESSMENTS:
There were 440 sewer assessments levied this year amounting to $49,- 342.37. The total assessment levy is now $294,876.45. The collections this year amounted to $18,520.03 making a total of $207,298.91 collected to date, including interest.
Record plans and profiles of all main and lateral sewers constructed to date have been prepared and are on file in the Sewer Department office.

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners submit the Annual Report of the Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1941.
An itemized account of all expenses is on file in the office of the Water Department and available to any interested citizen or citizens.
Fortunately, the construction work on the new dam at Great Pond reached a point which allowed conservation of a considerable amount of water, which, with the amount of water conserved by the raising of the level of Great Pond allowed the normal use of water during the drought period.
Without this conservation of water it would have been necessary to have issued regulations curtailing the use of water.
Following are the reports of the Treasurer, Registrar, Collector and Superintendent.
