The Selectmen are of the opinion that the number of water commissioners should be three, instead of two, as at present, and that the employees should be selected by the commission- ers, and be immediately responsible to them. The duties of the two officers now employed and constituting the Board of Commissioners are quite distinct, and in practice there is but little joint action taken by them as a Board. There is proba- bly. no want of harmony between the persons composing the present Board, and the recommendation now made is not with a view to disturbing either of them in the positions they occu- py : but it cannot be otherwise than that at some time import- ant questions of future action must arise, in regard to which the opinion of two persons thus situated would divide. In such case it is desirable that two minds having the responsibil- ity of action should concur. in the course adopted. In case of a vacancy in either the Superintendent's or Collector's office, the commissioners should themselves have the power to fill such vacancy, either by a consolidation of the two offices, or by any action that would secure the most efficient and economical management of the affairs of the department in their charge.

CHILTONVILLE EXTENSION.
The extension of water-pipes to Chiltonville has been com- pleted pursuant to the vote of the Town. The route adopted was by the shore road to the Cliff, thence by the cross road to the Sandwich road at the Bramhall neighborhood. Four-inch pipe was laid on the shore and cross roads, and two-inch pipe on the Sandwich road. The two-inch pipe from Jabez' Corner to the beginning of the new pipe was not disturbed, but if the section dependent on the extension grows largely in the future, this piece will need to be replaced by larger pipe. The supply, however, is now all that is required for present needs. No loan has been effected under the authority given, the appropriation of $6,000 having sufficed for all the payments made. If this appropriation had been charged with work done by the Town teams, properly due the road department as a credit, there would be a small deficiency ; but the Town may be congratu- lated that the extension has been made substantially within the estimates and appropriation. An important benefit has been conferred upon the residents of the locality reached by the extension, and the burden upon the Town has proved less than was feared by those opposed to the measure. The takers on the route of the new pipe are yet but sixteen families, though the earnest advocates of the extension still claim that all the families upon the route will become takers. The ac- count of the extension stands as follows :

WATER SCRIP SINKING FUND.
A vacancy exists on the Board of Trustees of the Water Scrip Sinking Fund, occasioned by the death of Mr. Danforth. The statute creating the Board provides that such vacancy shall be filled by ballot at the next annual meeting after such vacan- cy occurs.
TOWN TREASURER.
The present incumbent of the office of Town Treasurer sig- nifies to the Selectmen his retirement at the close of his pres- ent term. The importance of the office makes it proper that the fact should be communicated to the voters of the Town, that his successor may be selected with deliberation and care. We doubt not the Town will join the Selectmen in thanks to. the out-going officer for the fidelity and integrity that have characterized sixteen years of continuous service in the care of its funds.

Orders drawn, not paid when the books were closed, amount to $141.08, and further outstanding, on which orders had not been drawn, $925.59; the latter are classified as follows : Police, $240; sewer, $351.13; fuel, $16.50; Board of Health, $317.96. If all these bills are paid, the actual deficiency will be $2,735.87.
The total expense incurred by the Board of Health, includ- ing the bills outstanding, amounts to $1,616.14, of which $292.79 has been expended for a small pox hospital and the lot on which it stands. This, with some furniture of small value, remains on hand. The statute creating the Board of Health makes no provision for the payment of the Board, and no vote of the Town has supplied the authority wanting
.
20
in the statute; but it is not practicable or reasonable that the amount of work required of the Board in an emergency like that of the last year shouldbe performed gratuitously. If it is wise to continue the Board of Health as a distinct Board, it is necessary to provide for reasonable compensation to its members, or such of them as perform the more responsible duties of the Board.
The bills of the past year for services are included in the outstanding bills above mentioned.
The fencing of Chiltonville burial ground has been com- pleted at a total expense of $957.92, which is much larger than was contemplated. This was principally occasioned by the construction of a fence different from that first intended by the Selectmen. The change was made in concession to the wishes of the people of the immediate locality, to whom the fence proposed by the Selectmen did not promise to be satisfactory. The burial ground itself is of the worst possible shape for economy of fencing, being very long and narrow. It is some compensation for what may, perhaps, justly be regarded as an extravagant expenditure, that the fence is neat and satisfactory to the residents of that part of the Town.
Some of the items heretofore charged to contingent expense have grown in magnitude and regularity till they are entitled to a separate appropriation, and an appropriation of $1,500 is recommended for Watch and Police. With this class of expenses withdrawn from contingent account, it is believed that the present deficiency and the payments for 1873 can be met by an appropriation of $6,500.

This cemetery has been enclosed with a neat fence upon the east side and upon Samoset street the past year, and the west side is well protected by a substantial rail fence. The main avenue has been graded from Samoset street to Oak Grove Cemetery, so as to be passable for carriages. No fur- ther outlay is contemplated beyond what the receipts from the sale of lots will provide for. The income from this source is not likely to be as large uniformly as it has been the past year, as some lots have been bought larger than will ordi- narily be taken, but no fears are entertained but that the receipts will be sufficient for reasonable care and improvement,

Orders not paid, $52.11, will reduce the balance to $598.69.
All allowances are now made under this account, and it is recommended that the balance which will remain to its credit be placed in the general treasury, and the account closed. The collection of taxes without discount has not been tested suffi- ciently to be sure that it will meet the expectation, but when the result of the ten per cent. rate of interest is clearly seen by delinquents, it is thought they will not be more anx- ious to incur the penalty in that form than in loss of discount.

The overlay for 1872 was unusually large, and as the abate- ments have not proved larger than usual, it may remedy the under-estimate of revenue occasioned by the repeal of the non- resident bank tax, to allow the balance of this account to lapse to the Treasury, and it is so recommended.

$518 42 $518 42.
An appropriation is needed to provide for the deficiency in this account, as no further credits are available. In the sale of the old school-house, the bell on the same was reserved with a view to retaining it for use in case of fire, and other public purposes in that locality. It was intimated to the Selectmen that the proprietors of the Union Chapel would provide a bel- fry for the bell on being permitted to use it for their purposes also. The Selectmen see no objection to its use in connection with the Chapel, but understand that the proprietors desire some grant from the Town, that their rights to the use may be fixed, if they incur expenditure therefor.
MR. WADSWORTH'S TITLE.
In connection with the sale of the school-house lot, a ques- tion arose as to the title to the land adjoining, occupied by Mr. Lewis S. Wadsworth. It was desired to include in the sale some land enclosed by Mr. Wadsworth. The land occupied by him was formerly owned by the Town and considered worthless. It was leased April 28, 1834, for twenty years ; the lease expired in 1854, but no steps have ever been taken to resume possession, nor are such steps desirable. The material value in the premi-
25
ses are the improvements, which equitably belong to Mr. Wads- worth. Mr. Wadsworth assented to the removal of his fence and the sale of the school-house lot by the line desired, on condition that the Selectmen recommend that the Town grant him title to the remainder of his lot. The Selectmen accord- ingly recommend that a quit-claim deed from the Town be given to Mr. Wadsworth of the remainder of the lot occupied by him.

In accordance with the provisions of Law, the Selectmen re- port that no new Guide Boards have been located during the year, and those heretofore located are in fair condition.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Plymouth :
GENTLEMEN :- The Board of Engineers of the Fire Depart- ment would submit the following annual report for 1872 :
The Department has been called out during the year five times by fires.
The amount of loss has been less than $1,000.
The available force of the department in apparatus and men is as follows :
Steam fire engine No. 1, and hose carriage - 30 men.
Rapid, hand engine, No. 3, and hose carriage - 30 men. Torrent, hand engine, No. 4, and hose carriage -30 men. Hook and Ladder carriage, ladders, hooks, &c .- 16 men. Five hose carriages, (6 men each) -- 30 men.
Board of Engineers - 5 men. Total number of men, 141.
29
Apparatus not in commission but available in an emergency :
Niagara, engine No. 1, and hose carriage. Fountain, engine No. 2, and hose carriage.
HOSE ON HAND.
100 feet 23 inch rubber hose. 400 feet 23 inch leather hose. 1,200 feet 2 inch Boyd's patent hose. 500 feet 2 inch leather hose.
1,200 feet old leather hose (poor).
We ordered five hundred feet of new hose, and are to receive them about the first of February. The department was never in better condition. The apparatus is in good repair, and the members of the several companies are very prompt in answer- ing all calls for service.
Our steamer has always performed in such an able manner that we now depend largely upon it as the working force of the Department ; yet it is liable to be disabled when most needed. We would therefore recommend the purchase of another steam- er, to take the place of the two hand engines now in use, as such change would not increase the running expenses of the Department, and in case of a large fire its value would be in- calculable.
We would recommend an appropriation for ordinary expen- ses of $1,700.00.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
To the Selectmen of the Town of Plymouth :
GENTLEMEN :- The Water Commissioners submit the follow- ing as their report for the year ending December 31, 1872 :
There has been laid, during the year, (exclusive of the Chil- tonville extension) four hundred feet of pipe.
The expenses of stock and for labor and repairs, including repairs at South Pond and at the Reservoir, are nine hundred and eighteen dollars and fifty cents.
The increase of water-rents by new takers is two hundred and thirty-five dollars.
The uncollected water-rents are more than enough to make up the deficiency, so that no appropriation is asked for.
The Works are in the same good condition as reported last year.
The connection between Great and Little South Ponds has not been made permanent, but may be during the year if thought advisable.
