penses of maintenance, interest, and ultimate cancelling of the debt contracted for construction of the Works, has been so long in use that it may pass unquestioned, but to add to this burden expenses that should be borne, and for which provision is made by legal enactment, by a property tax, is clearly unjust to those who may willingly assent to payment of rates adjusted for the purpose of extinguishing the Water Works debt, in expectation that when that object is accomplished a relief may be found in a large reduction of the present tariff.
A large and increasing number of water takers of the high service, who only obtain their supply during the twelve hours daily pumping, have borne this inconvenience, looking for relief by the construction of a high service reservoir, and who justly complain of the delay, and also of the injustice of being com- pelled to pay the same rates for their partial supply as their more fortunately located neighbors, and it requires but little foresight to realize that, should the earnings of the Works that are now withheld be justly applied, the expense of furnishing the high service with a permanent supply could be met from five or six years of such additional income.
The Works have been in operation nearly thirty years, the water from South Pond having been turned into the pipe for supplying the Town November 5, 1855.
A large portion of the loan obtained for construction of the works falls due in June, 1885, and it may be assumed that the present financial condition will be further improved, by a reduc- tion in the rate of interest, by the contemplated loan for meet- ing the maturing debt, and the present is a fitting time to favor- ably consider a proposition for perfecting the system by secur- ing a storage supply of water sufficient to meet all emergencies.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT WATER WORKS, PLYMOUTH, January 1, 1885.
TO THE COMMISSIONERS OF WATER WORKS :
GENTLEMEN-I herewith submit to you my eleventh annual report, showing briefly the operations of this department, and with pleasure I call your attention to the increasing success of the Works during the year ending Dec. 31, 1884.
CONSTRUCTION.
There has been laid during the year 3,499 feet of wrought iron and cement pipe, at a total cost of $1,919.87. Of this 209 feet was 2-inch pipe, laid on Highland Street, between Davis and Vernon Streets, at a cost of $83.72, including the setting of one 2-inch gate.
One thousand two hundred and sixty-one feet of 4-inch pipe laid on Stafford Street, from South Street, at a cost of $637.53.
Sixteen feet of 4-inch pipe laid on Water Street, and 68 feet of 4-inch laid on Chilton Street, connected with the pipe laid on Water Street and continued up Chilton Street, with 322 feet of 3-inch pipe, and connecting with the 2-inch pipe from Court Street, at a cost of $199.58, including the setting of one 4-inch gate on Water Street at junction of Chilton Street.
One hundred and seventy-four feet of 4-inch pipe and 49 feet of 3-inch pipe laid on Samoset Street, between Chestnut Street and house of Peter M. Nelson, at a cost of $105.45.
49
Four hundred and eight feet of 4-inch pipe laid from South Street to the new school-house, at a cost of $223.85, including the setting of one 4-inch gate on branch at junction of South Street.
Three hundred and fifteen feet of 2-inch pipe laid on Mill Lane, between Market and Summer Streets, at a cost of $139.81, including the setting of two 2-inch gates.
One hundred and sixty-four feet of 2-inch pipe laid was the continuation of the pipe on Willard Place, at a cost of $111.28, including the setting of one 2-inch gate and extending 31 feet of iron pipe to the brook for a waste pipe.
One hundred and twenty feet of 4-inch pipe was an extension on Whiting Street to the house of Josiah Morton, at a cost of $73.76, including the setting of one 4-inch gate.
Three hundred and sixty-two feet of 4-inch pipe was laid in the rear of F. F. Emery's shoe factory for the purpose of con- necting three stand pipes for fire purposes only, at a cost of $344.89, including the setting of two 4-inch gates.
One hundred and sixty-three feet of the 2-inch pipe on Carver Street, between Middle Street and B. Barnes's house, have been lowered to conform to a change of grade at a cost of $54.75.
At the last regular town meeting money was appropriated for the widening and grading of Carver Street, which should have included the expense of lowering the water pipes, but the Road Department have refused to compensate the Water De- partment for the labor of lowering the water pipes, and also the service pipes which the Road Department exposed by the change of grade.

SERVICES.
There have been 49 services put in during the year, at a cost of $234.53, making a total of 1,212 service pipes attached to the main and distribution pipes, the street length being 24,240 feet. There has been seven leaks in the service pipes this year, the cost of repairs being $20.92.
STREET MAINS.
The street mains are in good condition. There have been more leaks in the small pipes than last year, but only a few minor leaks in larger pipes.
Whole number of leaks was 46.

GATES.
Wherever new pipe has been laid a suitable number of gates have been placed. Eighteen new gates have been put in this year. One 4-inch on Middle Street, junction Carver Street ; one 2-inch on Carver Street, at junction of Middle Street ; one
51
2-inch on Carver Street alley, at junction of Carver Street ; one 3-inch gate on Mayflower Street, at junction of South Street ; one 2-inch on Chilton Street, junction Court Street ; one 2-inch on pipe at Eel River to the north of the old bridge ; one 4-inch at Sea Side on the northerly street to Plymouth Cordage Com- pany's works, at junction of Court Street.
The above seven gates were set at a total cost of $127.35. One 2-inch gate was placed on Highland Street at junction of Davis Street ; one 2-inch on Carver Street, in front of Bradford Barnes's house ; one 4-inch on Chilton Street, junction of Water Street; one 4-inch on the branch of the extension to the new school-house from South Street ; one 2-inch for the pipe on Mil Lane, junction of Market Street; one 2-inch on Mill Lane for Bradford's Joint Company stand pipe; one 2-inch on Summer Street, junction Mill Lane, for a stand pipe for sprinkling streets ; one 2-inch on Willard Place for waste pipe ; one 4-inch on Whiting Street ; one 4-inch on pipe that runs to woolen mill from Samoset Street, north of shoe factory branch ; one 4-inch on extension in rear of shoe factory for the stand pipes. The cost of the last eleven gates are included in the cost of the various extensions to which they belong.
RESERVOIR.
The Reservoir has been kept practically full, furnishing to water-takers, as also to the Fire Department, the highest pres- sure attainable with our present facilities when the pump is not running. I would renew the recommendation of last year, that there be a new fence built, as it is much needed. Last April I gave the grounds about the Reservoir a dressing of "Stock- bridge Fertilizer," and sowed grass and clover seed on the sur- face, which has improved the sod on the slopes of the basin, land would recommend the same next Spring.
PLYMOUTH PUBLIC LIBRARY
52
BOXES.
Forty-nine service boxes and two gate boxes have been taken out and replaced by new ones at a cost of $57.95. The increase of the expenses for maintaining the service boxes is due to the adoption of iron covers.
NEW TAKERS.
There has been added to the water takers this year, 47 fami- lies, 8 stables, 37 water closets, 6 bathing tubs, 1 laundry, 1 saloon, and 1 library.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The undersigned Overseers of the Poor submit the following report :
The calls for aid from the poor outside do not vary mater- ially from the previous year. The poor who are inmates of the Almshouse, we do not hesitate to claim, are kindly and con- siderately treated, carefully looked after, are comfortably clad, and are furnished with good and abundant food.
During the past summer, Mr. Oliver T. Wood, who has served the Town faithfully for twenty years as Superintendent of the Almshouse, finding from age and failing health that he was un- able longer to perform the duties, resigned, and Mr. Obed C. Pratt was appointed to take his place.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
TO THE HONORABLE THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
GENTLEMEN : I herewith submit my first annual report, for the year 1884 :
THE FORCE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
It consists of six Engineers, with a working force of 142 men, including twenty call members at North Plymouth on pay only at time of service.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus consists of two steam fire engines, with hose carriages carrying 700 feet of hose each; two hand engines with hose carriages carrying 500 feet of hose each ; four inde- pendent hose carriages with from 300 to 500 feet of hose each ; one force pump located at Samuel Loring's factory ; one hook and ladder carriage carrying 225 feet of ladders, with necessary hooks and axes. All the above apparatus is in good working order.
HOSE.
We have in use at this time 4,500 feet of hose, having pur- chased 500 feet the present year ; all in good order.
57
BUILDINGS .!
The buildings of the Department owned by the Town are in good condition, the brick building occupied by the steamers having been repaired the past year.
HYDRANTS AND RESERVOIRS.
The number of hydrants is now 59, four having been added the past year, of the most approved pattern. There are five reservoirs, all in good order, except that at the Green, which leaks slightly. The one in Shirley Square has been repaired the past year at small expense.
FIRES.
There have been but four fires during the year 1884 :-
Feb. 2. Building occupied by J. B. Wilson, Jr., furniture ; damage to building and contents, $3,500.
Feb. 3. Woolen mills store house ; damage, $250.
May 3. House of late David Turner ; damage slight.
Aug. 6. House owned by Seth Paty; loss, $300; no insur- ance.
Nov. 8. Alarm for slight fire in building owned by Plymouth Woolen Company.

It is estimated that an appropriation of $3,000 will provide for the expenses of the year, and is recommended.
It is the opinion of the Board of Engineers that the old hand engine, No. 4, located on Watson's Hill, is of little use in the Department, and would recommend that it be retired after the present year.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, I would tender my thanks to my associates on the Board of Engineers, and also to the officers and men of the Department for their promptness in responding to all calls made upon them at all times, and for their quiet and effective work when on duty ; and to all not members of the Department who have rendered us assistance in any way, I would tender my sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
H. P. BAILEY,
Chief Engineer of the Plymouth Fire Department.
