REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen respectfully submit the following reports for the year ending December 31, 1901 :
TOWN DEBT AND INTEREST.
The total indebtedness of the Town Dec. 31, 1901, was $198,689.37, as against $175,802.62 Dec. 31, 1900, a net increase of $22,886.75.
Notes have been issued on the Water Department to the amount of $20,000.00, on the School Department to the amount of $10,000.00, on the steam roller and stone crusher to the amount of $5,000.00, for re-dressing Main and Court streets and macadamizing Water street, $8,000.00, and for macadamizing Point road $3,400.00.
There has been paid on the funded indebtedness during the past year $24.513.25 of which $6.640.00 was for the Water loan, leaving the total indebtedness as follows : Water, $119,320 00
Funded indebtedness outside of Water, 79,369 37
STREET LIGHTING.
While the conditions in this department had already been somewhat improved over last year, the Selectmen felt that there was a chance for still greater improvement, so had arc lights placed through the center of the town, extending from Samoset street to Training Green, in place of the in- candescent lights. These are burned all night, while the incandescents were burned only until midnight.
There are now within the street lighting circuit :
-16-
268 Series lamps, 25 c. p. @ $ 20 00, $5,360 00
3 Series lamps, 32 c. p. @ 21 00 63 00
7 arc lamps, 2000 c. p. @ 125 00 875 00
$6,298 00
SEWERS.
At the last annual meeting, the Selectmen were instructed to lay sewers in the northern part of the town, and a plan has been prepared, in accordance with the recommendations of Mr. Sears, which were printed in the Town Report of last year.
On examining the town records, we found that Chap. 361, Acts of 1888, entitled "An Act authorizing the Town of Plymouth to establish a system of sewerage," but this was rejected by the Town. It was, therefore, necessary, after making plans of that part crossing private property, to pre- sent them to the State Board of Health for advice and to the Harbor and Land Commissioners for permission to enter the harbor. We received the approval of the Harbor and Land Commissioners Dec. 30, 1901. and it is now necessary to present the same to the Town for approval, which will probably be done at the next meeting.
At the Town meeting held April 30, 1901, an appropria- tion of $3,000.00 was made for extending the sewer in Water street from Howland street to Ripley & Bartlett's. When the sewer had been laid thus far, the Selectmen deemed it advisable to extend it to South Park avenue, as this section of Water street was about to be macadamized. This extension, together with the fact that the contractor encountered quicksand in laying the main part of the sewer, caused an overdraft of $462.09.
There have been laid during the past year 3.541 feet of sewer pipe, as follows: In Water street, from Howland street to South Park avenue, 920 ft. 15 in. and 392 ft. 10 in .;
-17-
in Sandwich street, from Mount Pleasant street running south, 330 ft. 8 in .; in Davis street, from Allerton street 665 ft. 8 in .; in Vernon street extension 78 ft. 6 in .; in Win- ter street, 656 ft. 6 in .; also 500 ft. 6 in. iron pipe from foot of Winter street into the harbor.
TOMB.
A vote having been passed by the Town to build a receiv- ing tomb, the Selectmen made a contract with Ellis & Clark for $2,500.00. Although the tomb was nearly completed, it was deemed advisable, on account of cold weather, to postpone further work until early Spring.
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Board of Selectmen :-
Gentlemen-As the Superintendent of Streets and the Committee on the same, we herewith present the following report :
We will first call your attention to the work done in this department the past year and the cost of the same, and then to the needed work and improvements for the coming year. The most important permanent work done was the macada- mizing of Water street from the foundry to the depot, and the re-surfacing of Main and Court streets from Leyden street to Depot avenue. The contract for the same was awarded to the Massa- chusetts Broken Stone Company of Boston, and under the direction of Mr. George Pierce of Plymouth, the work was begun in May, it being understood that it would be
Plym 2
-18-
finished before the commencement of the summer travel; but on account of necessary delay on the Water street sewer, and lack of sufficient force and material on the part of the contractor, the work dragged along all summer and was not finished until September, causing much inconvenience to travel. The result, however, is satisfactory and both streets are in excellent condition. Cost, $8,908.10.
The result of the Shaw patrol system on Main street shows what can be done at a slight expense in keeping streets in a sanitary condition. Favorable comments by all as to the perfect results in this experiment hereafter makes it a necessity.
The Point Road at Manomet is nearly completed. It will be finished early in the spring. It was thought best for the Town to build this road in order to use our new road plant which we had just purchased and get our surveyors and men acquainted with the special work of building macadamized roads. The result is satisfactory. and we think in the near future that we can build our own roads as cheaply and as well as when done by contract work.
Franklin street of the past is no more, but like its illustri- ous neighbors, Jefferson and Washington, is now in reality a street and one to travel safely upon, instead of evading it as formerly.
In the outlying districts necessary repairs, have been made, also many permanent improvements by grading the tops of the hills and filling in the valleys, particularly on South and Long Pond roads and the long hill on the Shore road near Mr. Blodgett's place at Indian Brook. The latter was done at Mr. Blodgett's request, and partly at his ex- pense.
We would call your attention to the condition of Sand- wich street and Market street to Jabez Corner, the most travelled streets in town outside of Main and Court, muddy and dusty in summer. rough and muddy in winter, with
-19-
constant expense for temporary repairs, with no prospect of permanent improvement under the present system. We recommend a separate appropriation of $8,000.00 for ma- cadamizing said street from Jabez Corner to Market street, and Market street to Town Square.
North street is another much travelled street, and it should be macadamized. We advise this to be done early in the season.
Alden street needs repairing from Allerton street to Standish avenue.
Billington street is under consideration at the present. Crushed stone is already on the spot and work there will be commenced as soon as weather permits.
STREET SPRINKLING.
The purchase of two Studebaker watering carts by the Selectmen last spring and the running of the same by the Town was another new departure in this department. The territory covered was Court street, from Alden, through Main, Market and Sandwich streets to Winter; and as time and occasion would permit, to Jabez Corner, Pleasant street to South street, North and South Green streets, Summer to Edes, High and Russell to Summer, Town Square, Ley- den, Middle, North and Winslow, North Russell, Depot avenue, Samoset and, Cushman streets to the monument.
There was a constant call for other side streets and ex- tending the service from Court street farther north; but with two teams more ground could not possibly be covered.
Besides the advantage to the merchants and citizens liv- ing along the above route of freedom from dust, there is also great benefit to roads during the dry season, which is very marked, and it is our opinion that it is wise and economical.
-20-
SIDEWALKS.
Many needed repairs have been made and several new walks have been built the past vear. A sidewalk has been built from Kingston line to Cold Spring on the east side of Court street. Sidewalks have been made on Winter, Se- ver, Howland, Water, Franklin. Jefferson, Massassoit and Allerton streets. 1,270 feet of granite curbing and 4,868 feet of block pavers have been laid.
Fine crushed stone makes an excellent material for dress- ing sidewalks, and we recommend a more general use of it outside of the town where there are not macadam roads. For the coming year we recommend the same improvement on the west side of Court street, from Cold Spring to Kings- ton line; also on Alden, Billington and Cliff streets, and Warren avenue from Cliff street north.
NEW ROADS.
According to the vote of the Town Sever street was laid out and worked from Russell to Allerton street, at a cost of $362.00; and Newfields street from the corner to the slaughter house, at a cost of $824.80, including land dam- ages.
STANDISH AVENUE.
$14.097.00 has already been expended upon Standish ave- nue. It will cost $2,000.00 more to complete the road and sidewalks, and we recommend this amount to be appropri- ated and that the work be done as soon as possible.
CRUSHER AND ROLLER.
The committee appointed by vou to purchase a road plant was interviewed by many agents for as many different machines, and after several trips to towns and cities owning plants and having them in operation, we decided upon the
-21-
Farrell crusher and the Osler double-cylinder roller. We have a portable plant capable of crushing a hundred tons of stone daily. The cost of the whole plant, including engine, was $5,000.00.
TOWN STABLE.
The Town stable is in a deplorable and dilapidated condi- tion. It would be a waste of money to undertake its repair. It is not fit for use as such, and we advise the building of a new stable, to be located north-west of the present build- ing, so constructed that there will be better accommodations for horses and more room for carriages and tools, and in building it we should keep in mind the needs of the future.
EEL RIVER BRIDGE.
The contract for building the arch bridge over Eel River was given to the Aberthaw Construction Company of Bos- ton. Owing to the lateness of the season, they decided to postpone operations until the early spring. The bridge will be finished in April.
