The new road expenses for the past year have been heavy, and must be so for the ensuing year. The work at Spring Hill has been completed, also some repairs upon Mill Lane, Market and Pleasant Streets, perhaps strictly chargeable to repairs of
3
10
highways, but done in connection with the Spring Hill work under the direction of the Selectmen, and charged to new road account. The outstanding bills upon Franklin Street have also been paid. The petitions pending before the County Commissioners at our last report for a new road from Plymouth to Warcham, have been decided. The project for a new road on the east side of Billington Sea, which, in the opinion of the best Engineers and Surveyors, who have examined the route, involved the expense of not less than ten thousand dollars, has been abandoned, and the Commissioners have new located the West Pond road and required the town to work the same before November 1, 1869. All parties interested have cause for con- gratulation that so great a blunder as was contemplated by the first petition has been avoided, and a great burden upon the town which was entirely unnecessary, prevented. The Town has also to work South Russell Street, and pay the land dam- age awarded the abuttors. An appropriation of five thousand dollars is recommended for this department.
The principal of the Town debt has been reduced $3,112.85. Under the power to effect new loans for the payment of exist- ing loans, the sum of $16,724.64 has been obtained from the State at six per cent. and the remainder of the note due the New Bedford Savings Bank, which bore interest at seven per cent. paid ; also a note of G. T. & F. C. Adams, for $1000, on which interest was claimed at six and one-half per cent. There was also paid a note at the Plymouth Savings Bank of $837.50, leav- ing the Town debt, exclusive of Water Scrip, January 1, 1869, $21,813.29, which is made up as follows :
11
Note to Plymouth Savings Bank,. $1,000 00 Note to Stafford Sturtevant, given May 1, 1867,
under a vote passed October 4, 1856, to repair 4 Plymouth Beach, 700 00 Note given to the Commonwealth, Dec. 15, 1853. under a vote passed May 28, 1853, to buy School Houses and Lands, 3,388 64
Note given to the Commonwealth, Feb. 15, 1868, under the vote of April 9, 1866, authorizing new loans in lieu of existing loans, ... . 6,724 65 Note given to the Commonwealth, April 18, 1868, under the same vote, 10,000 00
Total, $21,813 29
The payment of the Note of Plymouth Savings Bank, one thousand dollars, and the Note given to Stafford Sturtevant for seven hundred dollars, is recommended for the ensuing year.
In view of the importance of an appropriation to establish a sinking fund for the redemption of Water Scrip, it is not thought advisable to do more for reduction of general indebted- ness.
The temporary loan is made up as follows :
Three notes to the Commonwealth amounting to. . $19,111 39 Note of Sept. 13, 1864, to A. G. Gooding, 1,000 00
Total, $20,111 39
The new hose for which an appropriation of six hundred dollars was made has not yet been purchased, and a reduction has been effected in the current expenses of the Fire Depart-
12
ment very creditable to the management of the present Board of Engineers, who have given much time and attention to systema- tizing the affairs in their charge. The new hose will probably be required the ensuing year, and an appropriation of seventeen hundred dollars for current expenses.
By the report of the Water Commissioners published here- with, it will be seen that the increase of Water Rents has been $225.48, and that upon the basis of Rents accrued, the cost of that department has been but $484.58, though appearing upon the basis of receipts to have been $682.89. The Commission- ers are confident that sufficient of the back Water Rents can ba collected to meet all deficits for the ensuing year. This is based in part upon collections already mide since January Ist, and relying upon the estimates of the Water Board, no appropria- tion is recommended for Water Works.
Of the Water Scrip amounting to $102,000, there will be- come due in 1875, $12,000; in 1885, $70,000, and in 1894, the remaining $20,000. No provision has yet been made for the redemption of this Serip, and it is obvious that measures to this end cannot be much longer delayed with safety to the credit of the town. The income from Water Rents will soon be sufficient to make a small annual addition to a sinking fund when once created, but will for some time be entirely inadequate to start such a fund properly, or to give any material assurance of redemption of Scrip at maturity. The payment of $12,000 in a single year by direct assessment is not beyond the power of the Town, but would be found exceedingly inconvenient ; and the neglect of the Town to make any provision for so large an amount of Scrip until the day of its maturity, would be
13
likely to affect its credit unfavorably, possibly to the extent of making it difficult to effect a new loan upon favorable terms to redeem the Scrip. By an annual appropriation of fifteen hun- dred dollars, a sinking fund may be created which will be suffi- cient in 1875 to redeem the Scrip then maturing. The re- demption of twelve thousand dollars of the Water Scrip, by . reducing the interest, would practically add to the surplus revenue of the Water Works seven hundred and twenty dollars. With no greater increase of Rents than the average of the l ast two years, the surplus revenue, with the addition thus made, would amount to at least one thousand dollars, which annually added with the natural increase to the sinking fund, would probably be sufficient for the final redemption of the remaining Scrip without further taxation. To thus place beyond reasona- ble question the redemption of the Water Scrip from revenue of property set apart to that purpose would leave the Town free to use its resources of taxation for developement and im- provement in other directions as will inevitably be required. The Selectmen are unanimous in recommending the creation of a sinking fund for the redemption of Water Scrip, and the an- nual appropriation of fifteen hundred dollars to the same until provision is thus made for the Scrip which will mature in 1875.
Assuming that the same deduction from the amount appro- priated (on account of Corporation tax) as last year will be made, an appropriation of fifteen hundred dollars is recom- mended for contingent expenses.
During the year seven thousand dollars has been expended upon Plymouth Boach by the United States, and a further ap-

propriation of fifteen thousand dollars has been recommended by the appropriate Committee in Congress, which it is hoped will meet a better fate than the last recommendation for the same object which was lost in the crowding of business at the end of the session.
The Guide Boards of the Town have been further improved, and are believed to be in good condition.
Accompanying this Report will be found the Reports of the Overseers of the Poor, Water Commissioners, and Liquor Agent.

The Almshouse is well furnished and supplied with provis- ions of all kinds.
The roof we think will need shingling the coming year, and other repairs, if that is done, will be needed.
. Our Poor at the House are about the same number, but much more expensive, and the number out of the House are on the increase, occasioned in some cases by sickness, and others who cannot obtain a living because they cannot get work to do. We must therefore suggest the propriety of raising as much as $6,500, in order to meet necessary expenses.
We have fourteen persons insane at a cost of $3.50 per week ; ten at Taunton, two at Worcester, and two at Plymouth. Whole amount for Insane expenses during the year, $2,384 98

17 REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Plymouth:
GENTLEMEN :- The Water Commissioners submit the follow- ing Report :
There has been no extension of the main pipe the past year.
Service pipe has been laid for the supply of water to four- teen families and stables ; the increase of Water Rents from 1
new and old water takers, is two hundred and twenty-five and and forty-eight one-hundredths dollars.
The whole amount of Rents for the year is six thousand six hundred and sixty and seventy-one one-hundredths dollars.
The expense of stock and labor, including repairs on Reser- voir, and filling over water pipes in the streets, is three hundred and ninety-seven and sixteen one-hundredths dollars.
There has been nine leaks on the main pipe, all of a trivial character.
Applications are now pending for the extension of the Wa- ter Pipe in two directions, which, if granted, will be of consid- crable expense.
The whole length of the pipe appears in good condition and. is destined to last for years.
Respectfully submitted,
