STATE HIGHWAY.


The Selectmen made a request of the State Highway Commission for the extension of the State Road from the Shore Road toward town; they agreeing to pay the sum of $500.00 to grade the same. The Chairman met them by appointment, and succeeded in getting the road extended to Hotel Pilgrim property, which was built last Fall.


SEWERS.


New sewers, with the necessary manholes, etc., have been laid as follow :


On private land, near and parallel to South Park Avenue, 292 feet of 10 inch; South Street, from Mayflower Street, running South, 110 feet of 8 inch; Bay View Avenue, 280 feet of 6 inch; Chestnut Street, from Samoset Street, 150 feet of 6 inch; Diman's Lane, from Alden Street, 480 feet of 6 inch.


There have been received for sewer fees


the past year,

Balance to credit of sewers Jan. 1, 1903, $1,409 96


TOMB.


The receiving tomb in Oak Grove Cemetery which was finished in the early spring, is now being used, and we think it is a credit to the town as well as to the builders, Ellis & Clark of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

STANDISH AVENUE.


$862.05 have been spent on Standish Avenue the past year. There is an undrawn balance of $1, 185.68, which will complete the work.


NEW ROADS.


Newfields Street has been widened from Summer Street to the land of J. A. Maybury, as voted by the Town, March 3. 1902.


Bay View Avenue has been built, as voted by the Town March 3, 1902.


After macadamizing Billington Street from Summer Street to the Plymouth Mills, there was a quantity of stone left, and as there was a bad piece of road above the mills, the Selectmen deemed it advisable to macadamize this, rath- er than pay storage on the stone for another year, making an overdraft in New Roads' account of $952.12, most of which was on Billington Street.


TOWN STABLE.


The Town stable, being in poor condition, as well as small and unsuitable for the purposes for which it is used, we ad- vise the building of a new stable, with necessary sheds for wagons and tools. For this purpose we would recommend an appropriation of $3,000.


STREET LIGHTING.


The Selectmen recommend an appropriation of $6,500 which, in addition to the undrawn balance, to the credit of this department, will be sufficient for the present lighting. There is a constant increase in the demand for more lights in the present lighting circuit, as well as for an extension of the limits of this circuit. As the recommendation above mentioned is necessary for the present lighting, it may


Plymouth 2


-18-


easily be seen that, in order to meet this demand, the Town will be obliged to increase the appropriation.


There are now within the street lighting circuit :


272 Series lamps, 25 c. p. @ $20 00 $5,440 00


3 Series lamps, 32 c. p. @ 21 00 63 00


7 Arc lamps 2,000 c. p. @ 125 00 875 00


$6,378 00 The arc lights are burned all night, while the incandescents are burned only until midnight.


SIDEWALKS.


There has been a large amount of repairing done on con- crete walks the past year. A new concrete walk has been built on Allerton Street, extending from Samoset Street up the hill toward the Pilgrim Monument. 202 feet of gran- ite curbing, and 4,947 feet of block pavers have been laid, and sidewalks built on Court, Fremont, Cherry and Davis Streets.


Overdraft, $631.09.


STREET SPRINKLING.


There is a constant demand upon the Selectmen to extend the street sprinkling, and as this is impossible with but two carts, we would commend the purchase of two more, that this may be done. This would be a benefit, not only to the streets, but to the residents as well, particularly to those living on the line of the Brockton & Plymouth Street Rail- way, who are very much annoyed by the clouds of dust whirled about by the passing of the cars.


We would recommend an appropriation of $2.500 for the purchase of two new carts, the erection of stand pipes, and the sprinkling of the streets for the coming year.

Some of the items charged to this account are :


Expenses of Board of Health, Fires in Woods, Armory rent, heat, lights, etc., Board of Registration, Town Meet- ing, and plans, etc., for sewers for the north part of the town, a full account of which you will find in the Treasurer's report . under the head of contingent.

REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.


The Overseers of the Poor would respectfully submit the following report :


There are no changes at the Almshouse worthy of men- tion. The repairs contemplated early in the year have been made.


The condition of the heating plant is unsatisfactory, and in our opinion it would be a move in the line of economy to replace the old boiler by a new and more modern one.


The aid furnished outside the Almshouse has been greater than in previous years, and relief furnished those living 'in other towns and cities, but having a legal settle- ment in the Town of Plymouth, has been largely in excess of our anticipations, which is the cause of the overdraft.


We recommend an appropriation of $6,500.00, with an additional $330.57 for the deficiency. and a further appro- priation of $750.00 for the installing of a new boiler.

INSANE POOR.


The appropriation for this department has been over- drawn to the extent of $84.44. By the provisions of Chap- ter 451, of the Acts of 1900, on and after January I, 1904, the State assumes all care, control and treatment of Insane Persons, consequently this is the last appropriation that will be asked for by this department.


We recommend an appropriation of $3,300.00, with an additional $84.44 for the deficiency.
