Henry W. Barnes moved that the Selectmen be authorized. to issue a note of the town to the amount of $600 for the purpose of procuring money to purchase the lot in the rear of the Knapp school building, said note to be dated Dec. 15, 1903, bearing interest, payable semi-annually, at a rate not exceeding 4 per cent., and principal payable in 10 months. Sixty-seven voted in the affirmative, and none in the negative; more than two-thirds having voted in the affirmative, the motion was carried.
On Motion of William W. Brewster, Voted, That the Mod- erator appoint a committee of three to make at a future meeting of the town such suggestions as they may find

to be expedient and proper for the management and conduct of the shell fisheries; to report by-laws for adoption by the town, under Chapter 195 of the Acts of 1870, and to secure, if possible, such further legisla- tion as may be needed for the better protection of the shell fisheries.
Elkanah Finney moved that the School Committee be re- quested to furnish plans, estimates and specifications for school building on the Russell street lot, and for school buildings on lots other than the Russell street lot. E. B. Atwood moved to amend by substituting the following: That the School Committee be re- quested to furnish plans, estimates and specifications for a school building on the Russell street lot, and that the Committee of Fifteen be requested to furnish plans, estimates and specifications for school buildings on other lots, and the motion was lost. The motion offered by Mr. Finney was then put and was carried.
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen respectfully submit the following report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1903 :
Before giving their report for the past year, the Selectmen wish to call the attention of the Town to the very poor ac- commodations of those departments having offices in the Town House, as well as the poor condition of the building.
As we cannot detail the deficiencies in all the rooms of the building, we will single out the two needing the most attention. These are the police station and the treasurer's roon1.
The police station consists of three cells in the same room with the furnace and coal bin, with no place for the officers to converse with people, except within sight and hearing of the prisoners.
The Treasurer's room is small, and, therefore, causes great inconvenience to those having business with him; at times. not half of them being able to get into the room. The safe in this room is small and unsuitable for the books, papers, etc., that are kept there. Plans, for which hun- dreds of dollars have been paid, cannot be kept in proper shape, and there is no way of finding any particular one without looking over a number of them.
The building itself is in very poor condition, and we think the town should take action at once toward the build- ing of a new Town House. We would recommend that a mittee be appointed to investigate and make a report to the town at an early date.
· We also wish to call attention to the
-20-
SOURCES OF WATER SUPPLY.
The Selectmen think it their duty to call the attention of the Town to the sources of our water supply. In their opinion it should be definitely ascertained whether they are in danger of pollution from the proximity of summer cot- tages on the borders of South, Little South and Boot ponds. If such danger is threatened, measures should be taken to avert it. They recommend that a committee be appointed with instructions to make a thorough investigation of the subject and report at an early date, with a view to some ac- tion by the Town an article has been inserted in the warrant for the annual meting.
BEQUEST.
By the will of the late Lucy J. Parker, the Town of Plymouth was bequeathed the sum of five hundred dollars for the erection of fountains for horses and dogs.
The Selectmen recommend that a committee be appointed with full power to erect the same, in accordance with the provisions of the will.
TOWN DEBT AND INTEREST.
On Dec. 31, 1902, the funded debt was $181,906 12

We recommend an appropriation of $16,000.00 for roads and bridges the coming year.
STANDISH AVENUE.
In order to complete Standish avenue it was necessary to overdraw the account by $110.96. As this overdraft was so slight the Selectmen deemed it advisable to complete the work. Hereafter all expense on this avenue will be charged to the account of roads and bridges, therefore we recom- mend an appropriation of $110.96 to balance the overdraft.
NEW ROADS.
South street has been widened and gutters built from the residence of Calel A. Larkin to that of Albert G. Water- son, as laid out by the County Commissioners.
Work has been extended on Billington street as far as the appropriation would allow.

We recommend an appropriation of $1,000.00 for new roads for the coming year, also $37.99 to cover the over- draft.
STREET SPRINKLING.
The addition of two watering carts to our street sprink- ling department (making four in all) is very pleasing to the public, as well as beneficial to our streets. While we are still unable to sprinkle some of the streets, we now sprinkle the main ones from Cliff street to Kingston line.
As many of these streets are used not only by the electric cars ( which cause a large amount of dust), but but by many teams and pedestrians, we think they are of the most import- ance.

Of this amount-

We recommend an appropriation of $2,000.00 for the sprinkling of the streets the coming year, also $154.17 to cover the overdraft.
STREET LIGHTING.
There have been added to the street lighting circuit the past year 14 series lamps of 25 candle power, making at the present time

The appropriation for street lighting for 1903 was $6,500.00, and we recommend that the same amount be ap- propriated for the coming year, which, with the balance of $586.30, will allow the addition of a few more lights, for which there is a constant demand.

A new concrete walk has been laid on Allerton street, from Samoset to Vernon streets, and 3006 feet on Cushman street, from Court street to the residence of Miss Rose Whiting; also 1000 feet of granolithic walk on Court street in front of the Moore block.
One hundred and sixty-two feet of granite curbing and 1625 feet of block pavers have been laid, and gravel side- walks built on Court, Sandwich, Winslow, Howland and Water streets.

TOWN STABLE.
According to the vote of the town at the annual meeting held March 2, 1903, the town stable has been built, and is now in use. This is located on the site of the old stable, and has many modern improvements. There is an open floor space of nearly 800 square feet, divided by rolling doors, so that the part occupied by the horses may be separ- ated from the rest.
On the east side of this floor space is the tool room, the harness room (with South pond water and stove for heat- ing) a box stall, and four regular stalls.
On the opposite (or west) side of this floor space are six regular stalls. The rest of this side is occupied by a room 13 by 21} feet, wholly for the use of the poor department. The only entrance to this room is from the outside of the building, there being no access whatever from the rest of the stable. This room is provided with stalls and an entrance to the mow.
On the floor above is the grain and hay loft. From this loft chutes run to the feed mangers below. The roof is pro- vided with a large ventilator surmounted by a weather vane. The whole is very satisfactory to the Selectmen and a credit to the architects, Messrs. Goddard and Edes, as well as the builders, Isaac S. Burgess and Coleman B. Chandler.
SEWERS.
At a special town meeting held Jan. 24. 1903, the Se- lectmen were instructed to lay sewers in the northern part of the town. They at once advertised for bids and as C. E. Trumbull Co. of Boston were the lowest bidders, they were awarded the contract. The work was completed in October, and a large number of property owners have already con- nected their buildings.

We recommend that this balance, and all debits and credits hereafter incurred, be carried to the regular sewer account.
Besides this new sewer, 1075 feet have been laid in other sections as follows :
Standish avenue, 330 feet of 8 inch. Chestnut street, 360 feet of 6 inch. Bay View avenue, 300 feet of 6 inch. Oak street, 85 feet of 6 inch.

CONTINGENT.
This account is largely overdrawn each year, owing partly to votes of the town, passed after the Selectmen have made their recommendations and partly by new laws, made by the legislature, which cause expense to towns, and which, in most cases, are charged to this account. It has been the custom to charge the expenses of the Board of Health to this account, but as these expenses have largely increased from year to year, being more the past year than ever be-
-27-
fore, the Selectmen recommend an appropriation for this department.
The appropriation for 1903 was $6,000.00, and there is an overdraft of $1.893.51.
We would recommend that $7,000.00 be appropriated for the contingent account for the coming year, and $1,893.51 to meet the deficiency.
