The amount expended and charged to this account is larger than usual, being $922.85 in excess of last year.
As this account is chargeable with all payments not provided for by direct appropriation, the accompanying detailed expendi- ture will sufficiently explain for what purposes the expenditure has been incurred.
One of the largest items included in the account was expend- ed for setting the steps on Cole's Hill, which was authorized by the Town, but no appropriation was provided to meet it.
The repairs on the Town House, for which was expended $632.56, had long been needed, but had been neglected as vari- ous plans had been discussed for a new building, and in case any change was decided upon it was not thought advisable to make repairs until the matter was finally settled. As the building is likely to remain as it is for the present it has been put, so far as the exterior is concerned, in good con- dition.
The expenditures made by the Town forester have been charged to the account, and exceeds the amount appropriated by the Town in the sum of $21.14.
An appropriation of $3,000 will, it is estimated, provide for the deficiency and current expenses of the year, and is recom- mended.

The expenditures on account of schools, as compared with last year, show an increase of $2,051.61, which is partly offset by additional credits from sule of school books, making the net expenditure $1,671.19.
. Included in this amount are special repairs on school-houses, for which an appropriation of $1,000.00 was made at the annual meeting. There remains an unexpended balance of the appro- priation for Oak Grove school-house, of $423.52.
-
The Committee ask for an appropriation of $17,500.00 for current expenses, and the unexpended balance of Oak Grove school-house appropriation for special repairs on school houses. Under the present system of maintaining the schools it is diffi- cult to see how any less sum will be required, and recommend the appropriation asked for by the Committee.

The sum total of expenditures for the department the past year has been $13,203.22, being $728.28 in excess of the previ- ous year, of which $2,785.34 was expended for extensions, in- cluding the pipe laid from the reservoir to supply the Woolen Mill, which cost $2,246.18. A portion of this will be reimbursed to the Town by the mill owners, who are with the Town jointly benefited by the improvement.
The expenditure was much larger than was estimated by tlie Commissioners in their report to the Town at the April meet- ing, when they were authorized to make the connection. The income from the works has increased from $11,500.17 in 1880 to $11,923.34 in 1881, an increase for the year of $423.17. Leaving out the extensions included in the account the last year, there would have remained a balance to the credit of the works of $1,505.12 as income for the year, which would have provided for the deficiency and left a balance to the credit of the account.
The overdrafts in the account of $2,210.74 will, it is esti- mated, be provided for by reimbursements and surplus income for the year, and no appropriation is recommended.

APPARATUS.
The apparatus of the department consists of two steam engines, with hose carriages ; two hand engines with hose reels, one of them being located at North Plymouth ; one hook and ladder truck; four independent hose carriages; two force
42
pumps. During the year alterations having been made in the mill of the Joint Company on Spring Hill, where one of the pumps was located, causing its removal, the Board decided that considering the expense attendant to the resetting of the pump, which would be large, and our water supply for fire purposes in that locality being sufficient,-not to reset, but to see if some; other location for it, where more needed, could not be obtained. No desirable place has yet been found. The other pump is at the tack and rivet mill of S. Loring's and is in working order. We have also on hand two hand engines, not in working order, but preserved as relics. During the past year a thorough examination of the boiler of Engine No. 2 was made by the builders of the boiler. Several flues were taken out, the boiler being found to be in a very satisfactory condition, and pro- nounced good for some years.
HOSE.
We have in use in the department 3,350 feet of hose, most of it reliable. The defects noticed at the Court House fire were not generally caused by any decay of the material, but by the drawing of the couplings, a defect which has been remedied by resetting. An additional supply of new hose is to be pur- chased, also two extension ladders.
RESERVOIRS AND HYDRANTS.
The lining of cement that was put into the reservoir in Town Square in the early part of the last year, and appeared so satis. factory for a few months, commenced to leak again, caused by the cement cracking. Further examination showed that the
75
43
brick work was cracked in several parts, caused by jarring, or heaving by frost. The Board decided, after conferring with competent mechanics, to do as they advised, and have a lining of brick put into the reservoir and coated with cement, which has been done at a cost of $180.00, and a water displacement of 4,786 gallons. It now contains when full, 17,009 gallons. No leakage has yet been noticed.
The reservoir on the Green is leaking in the upper part, caused by the roots of the trees working into it. Attention will be paid to it at the proper season. The others are in good condition.
The hydrants are in good order, but one new one having been added during the year, that being on Davis Street, near the residence of Mr. Strong.
MANUAL FORCE.
The manual force of the department consists of 140 men, with a Board of Engineers of six men, and twenty call mem- bers at North Plymouth, on pay only at time of service.
FIRES.
The past year's fire record is but one fire to which the department have been called to work their apparatus. This was the Court House, November 7, where a loss of $7,600.00 was awarded, covered by insurance. April 14 a slight fire at the Bradford Joint Co.'s mill caused an alarm, damage very small. In this connection I will speak of the construction of our buildings, especially our churches and halls. At the Court
44
House fire any observer could see that if the attic had be floored over, the loss below would have been comparativ. small. As it was, the slate fell from the roof through i ceiling, bringing with it fire into the Court Room, which v the cause of the damage by fire in that part of the building.
REMARKS.
It is apparent to any one that the members of this depa ment see the great importance of a prompt response to the c for their services, and see that their labors at the first start of fire are of the greatest value. For this promptness, perfe obedience to orders, for orderly conduct in performing service they have my thanks. Also to my Assistants, for their aid, tender my thanks.

The amount charged against the Water Works, as appears by the books of the Town Treasurer, is $2,210.74, and includes the deficiency at close of the year 1880 of $1,044.10, no provision having been made to meet it as the anticipated income of 1881 was considered sufficient, and the expectation would have been realized had no expense been incurred for laying now pipes.
The sum of $1,000 appropriated by the Town at a meeting held in May last, for supplying the Woolen Mill by a separate pipe, has not been placed to the credit of the Water Works, but will be entered on the account for the new your, and with the addition of the sum receivable from the proprietors of the mill, will so far meet the existing deficiency as to render any addi- tional appropriation unnecessary.
47
WOOLEN MILL SUPPLY.
The supply of water to the mill by the new pipe laid from the reservoir is satisfactory to the manufacturers.
It was considered expedient to lay a ten-inch pipe through the reservoir embankment, and at a depth of ten feet from the top of the stone facing. From this ten-inch to Vernon Street the size is eight inches, and at the corner of Prospect and Davis Streets a fire hydrant connects with it. A six-inch branch is placed on Vernon Street, and should it be desired in the future to arrange for a supply to Court and Main Street from this pipe, the extension to the Court Street main could be made at small expense.
This change of the mill supply has relieved the general distribution, and the draft of water for domestic uses varying little during pumping hours, the inconvenience previously ex- perienced by the high service takers, from the unavoidable fluctuations caused by the irregular drawing by the mill is avoided, and a steady pressure maintained upon the pipes of not less than twenty-five feet above the usual level of South Pond.
The flow into the Prospect Street reservoir is regulated by the check valve near Stoddard Street, as a greater or less quan- tity is required to keep it at a uniform height.
PUMPING WORKS.
The quantity of water pumped during the year, as appears by the record of Mr. H. F. Gibbs, the engineer, amounted to 165,905,307 gallons, a daily average of 454,535. The least quantity used daily was in May, 396,616, and the largest in February, amounting to 534,988 or noarly 100,000 gallons in excess of the average for the year, and is accounted for by the running to waste during the extreme cold weather of that month, to prevent freezing of the service pipes.

The pump has run 4,199 hours, requiring the consumption of 261,793 pounds of coal during the year. The engine has been overhauled and thoroughly examined by Mr. Gibbs, and he reports it in no way impaired by the two years' working, the machinery and boiler being in good condition.
The duties of the position held by Mr. Gibbs require effi- ciency and close attention, and in their performance he has shown the requisite qualifications.
The distance of the station from town is so great, and as im- mediate communication with the engineer may be required, the construction of a telephone is contemplated by the commission- ers during the coming season, the estimated cost being $175.
The road way from Deep Water bridge to the pumping works is in bad condition, and the large amount of carting for supplying coal, with the increasing carriage travel over it, calls for its improvement. Should it be laid out as a highway and graded, a small annual outlay would keep it in good order.
