The Telephone Signal.
July 1 an electric drop was attached to the telephone at the police station, which lights a red light at the corner of Main
-136-
and Leyden streets when a call is made for the police station. Should no officer be present to answer, the signal light calls him in and he calls up the party calling. All a subscriber has to do, if he wishes the police and no one is in the station, is to leave his number with the operator. This arrangement lessens the necessity of having an officer at the station all the time and gives reasonably quick service.
During the past six months officers have responded to 158 calls by the signal.
Colt Automatic Pistol.
Oct. 2 the Colt automatic pistol, cal. 38, was issued to the regular officers, who have been instructed in its use, and it has proved to be a serviceable and accurate weapon.
First Aid to the Injured.
On April 1 the course of lectures on First Aid to the Injured, delivered by Dr. Geo. H. Jackson, lecturer of the National First Aid Association of America, was finished by an examination, and five members of the department, having passed the required per cent., received the diploma of the association.

The most important work done by the Department the past year was the making of 7,500 feet of 18 inch pipe at the shop and laying the same from the pumping station to Little South Pond.
A detailed statement of the cost of making and laying this pipe will be found in the Superintendent's report. As ex- plained last year, this pipe was laid four feet lower at the pond than the 10-inch, which formerly supplied the pumps.
A temporary connection was made at the pond with the 10 inch main, but when a new bulk head is built this 10 inch con- nection will be discontinued, and the 18 inch carried at its pres- ent grade level into a new screen well. Water was turned through this main on January 9, 1909, and the delivery of this pipe to our pumps was somewhat more than the calculated amount.
An 8 inch main for fire protection, with three hydrants, was laid on Middle street, and a 6 inch main on Murray street to connect with 6 inch main on Lothrop street, thus making a cir- cuit from 12 inch main on Court street.
It may be of interest to learn what the practical effect has been on our distribution system of laying the various new mains since 1900.
The best evidence we have is from pressure gage readings taken at Plymouth Cordage Co.
In 1899, before any work in improving our distribution sys- tem had begun, the gage readings at Plymouth Cordage Co. va- ried from 60 lbs. at hours of least draft, to 25 lbs. at hours of greatest draft, while in 1908 with new work on distribution sys- tem completed, the pressure at hours of maximum use varies on- ly 2 or 3 lbs. below 60 lbs. All the houses on the higher ele- vations that formerly complained of lack of pressure, now seem to be well served.
The next piece of construction which the Commissioners deem of most importance, is building a bulk head at Great South, Pond, where our new canal enters the pond.
-145-
This should be of stone or concrete construction, and the bot- tom of it should be at same elevation as bottom of the 18 inch pipe that was laid to Little South Pond, namely elevation 95.0; thus enabling us to take 10 or 11 feet storage from both ponds.
An 8 inch pipe along Court street from Allerton street to Kingston line is also needed, to replace a 4 inch already there laid in 1855. And we recommend an appropriation of $12,- 000 to cover cost of laying the same.
As shown by the, diagram in the Superintendent's report, a substantial increase in revenue, 50 per cent. greater than the in- crease in any one year in the history of the department, is shown for 1908.
A considerable part of this increase is revenue derived from water sold by meter for manufacturing purposes and appears to fully justify the judgment of the Commissioners in metering manufacturing consumers.

CONSUMPTION.
On Plate No. 2 is shown graphically the high and low service consumption of water by the town for the year 1908, also the combined high and low service, or total consumption.
As explained in last year's report, this diagram is prepared by taking the low service consumption at the end of each week, as shown by our Venturi meter, and our high service consump- tion for the same period of time, as shown by our pumping en- gine records, and dividing each of these quantities by seven. The result gives the average daily consumption for that week, on both high and low service. By combining these results we get the average daily total consumption for that week.
The total consumption for the year was 444,500,000 gallons, or a daily average of 1,220,000 gallons.
Our total high service consumption was 235,165,000 gallons, and our total low service consumption was 209.380,000 gal- lons.
This gives a daily average high service consumption of 645, 000 gallons, and a daily average low service consumption of 575,000 gallons.
Our high service consumption was 52.9 per cent. and our low service consumption 47.1 per cent. of the total consumption, which is practically the same proportion of our total consump- tion, as our seven months record of 1907 showed.
Following is shown the amount of water used by our manufac- turing concerns that have meters, during 1908:
-155-
American Woolen Co., N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R.,
62,582,000 gals.
17,912,000 gals.
B. & P. St. Ry. Power Station,
3,676,000 gals.
Plymouth Electric Light Station,
4,288,000 gals.
88,458,000 gals.
Comparing this amount with our total consumption of 444,- 500,000 gallons, we find that 20 per cent. of our total consump- tion the past year was used by the four consumers above men- tioned.
POND ELEVATION.
On Plate 1 is a diagram showing the variation in elevation of Great and Little South Ponds for the year 1908.
This diagram is made from measurements of each pond, taken at frequent convenient intervals through the year.
As will be seen from an inspection of the diagram Great South Pond was at practically the same elevation Jan. 1, 1909 as it was Jan. 1, 1908, while Little South Pond was a foot and one-half lower Jan. 1, 1909 than it was Jan. 1, 1908.
From careful surveys made of both ponds we can compute with considerable accuracy the storage volume in each pond for a depth of 10 feet.
With this knowledge of storage volume we are able to deter- mine that the above mentioned lowering of Little South Pond of one foot and a half during the year corresponds to a net loss from storage of thirty million gallons.
APPROXIMATE YIELD OF WATER SHED FOR EIGH- TEEN MONTHS.
In table 1 is shown a method of determining approximately the yield of water shed for the period during which we have been

able to measure our total consumption (since June 1907 when our Venturi Meter was installed).
In order to explain this matter clearly, it may perhaps be well to go a little into detail. Practically all of the water used by the town is taken from Great and Little South Ponds. Lout Pond is so small it simply acts as a storage reservoir and prob- ably contributes nothing to our water supply.
In its journey from the pond to the consumer all of the water passes through either our pumps or the Venturi Meter.
A daily record is kept at the pumping station of the quantity pumped and the quantity passed through the meter so, by com- bining these we have our total daily consumption (making no allowance for slip of the pump).
From the diagram shown in Plate 1, giving variations in pond levels for the year, we can compute from the rise or fall of the ponds the approximate gain or loss of storage in gallons for any given period.
Referring now to the table, Column 1 is period of time re- ferred to, usually one month. Column 2 is our total consump- tion for the month, shown in Column 1, and is obtained as pre- viously explained, by adding our pump records and Venturi Meter readings for that month. Column 3 shows increase or decrease in storage in millions of gallons and is obtained by as- certaining height of ponds at the end of each month, froni which we can compute gain or loss in storage for that month. Column 4 shows the approximate average daily yield for each month and is obtained as follows : Having ascertained our total consumption for a given month find from Column 2 whether there was a gain or loss in pond storeage for that same month. If there was a loss of storage the difference between the con- sumption and that loss of storage was the approximate yield of our water shed for that month.
If there was a gain in storage, the consumption added to the gain in storage was the approximate yield. Having obtained the monthly yield we divide by the number of days in the month

and get the approximate average daily yield, shown in Column 4. Column 5 shows rainfall for each month and Column 6 the number of inches that the rainfall for that particular month was above or below the average for the same month.
This table shows quite clearly how the yield of a water shed is dependent on rainfall, for from an inspection of the table we can see that almost without exception the months of heavy rainfall were the months of large yield from our water shed, and months of low rainfall show decreased yield.
For the nineteen months given in the table the average daily yield was 1,140,000 gallons, from which I think we may safely conclude that any long continued draft at a greater rate than the the amount above stated, under same conditions of rainfall as obtained during the nineteen months, would result in a de- pletion of storage.
This statement is borne out from records of the past year.
As shown in Plate 2, our approximate total daily average consumption for the year was 1,220,000 gals., or 80,000 gals. daily above calculated yield for last nineteen months, and this resulted in depletion of our storage for the year of about thirty million gals. as shown by the lowering of Little South Pond one foot and a half.
It is interesting to compare this result obtained by nineteen months of measurement and observation with the estimate of yield given in Mr. Waler H. Sear's report to the town in 1902.
Mr. Sears estimated the storage for two feet in depth for Great and Little South Pond to be 240,000,000 gallons, and with this storage and 1.25 square miles of water shed, he esti- mated the yield to be about 1,000,000 gals. daily.
Actual measurement of the storage for two feet in depth in Great and Little South Pond shows 234,000,000 gals., and the yield as before mentioned has been 1,140,000 gallons daily.

RAINFALL.
On another page is a table showing the annual rainfall since 1887, the average rainfall for that period of years, and the per cent. of variation from the average for each year.
PUMPING STATION.
The pumping station record shows total amount of water pumped and total amount that passed through the Venturi meter during the year ; also fuel consumption duty of the pumps, etc.
WATER ANALYSES.
The usual close supervision of our sources of water supply by the State Board of Health has been exercised during the year as attested by the analyses made during the year, copies of which are shown on another page.
