As indicated in the report of the Superintendent, the principal work of the Department for 1933 has
-87-
been the practical completion of the Manomet Water System with 58,000 feet of pipe laid and fifty-eight hydrants set.
Since December 4th, this work has been carried on as a C.W.A. project, and laborer have been supplied by the C.W.A.
It appears probable that additional funds will be available for other C.W.A. projects upon the expira- tion of the present projects on February 15th.
If it seems wise to the Town to make an appro- priation for material, pipes, hydrants, gates, etc., in order to take further advantage of C.W.A. labor, we suggest the desirability of replacing 10,300 feet of 6" and 4" pipes on Clifford Road from Warren Ave- nue to a point near the Rubber Mill with 8" pipe, and also of laying 7,600 feet of 8" pipe along Sandwich Road from Bramhall's Corner to the four corners at Sandwich Road and Clifford Road.
The present bonded debt of the Department is $80,000.00, and during 1934 a payment of $10,000.00 will be made on the principal and $3,200 on interest.
We recommend an appropriation for maintenance of $24,000.00 for 1934, and it is our opinion that the revenue for the current year will be more than suf- ficient to cover the maintenance $24,000.00 bond payment $10,000.00 and interest $3,200.00.
Respectfully submitted,

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
Gentlemen-
In accordance with the custom of this Department, I submit herewith the annual report of the Superin- tendent of Plymouth Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1933.
The principal work of the Department during 1933 was a continuation of the construction of the Mano- met Water System which had been started in October of 1932. A somewhat detailed statement of the prog- ress of this work during the year follows this report.
Practically no work of renewing old pipe was un- dertaken in the down town distribution system.
POND HEIGHTS AND STORAGE
Plate I is a chart showing rainfall, pond heights and resultant storage volume for the past ten years. Owing to the high rainfall of the past two years, 53.18" in 1932 and 60.11" in 1933, Great South Pond reached an elevation of 106.3' in December, a higher elevation than at any time since July of 1921.
This gives us a storage volume above the intake pipe of about 875,000,000 gallons.
The average annual rainfall for Plymouth is 45.88".
CONSUMPTION
Plate II shows in graphic form the average daily consumption of water during 1933.
The average daily consumption on the low Service for 1933 was 362,000 gallons or 106,000 gallons more than the 1932 consumption of 256,000 gallons.
On the Old High Service system the average daily consumption for 1933 was 733,000 gallons which is 8,000 gallons in excess of the 1932 consumption of 725,000 gallons daily.
1
-92-
On the New High Service system the average daily consumption was 24,000 gallons which was 12,000 gallons less than the average daily consumption of 36,000 gallons for 1932.
The average daily total consumption for 1933 was 1,119,000 gallons or 102,000 gallons higher than the 1932 consumption of 1,017,000 gallons.
HYDRANTS AND GATES
As usual, regular inspection of both hydrants and gates was made during the year with the result that all are giving excellent service.
ANALYSES OF WATER
The State Department of Health has made the usual analyses of samples of water from our source of supply, statements of which are on file in the office of the Superintendent.

MANOMET WATER SYSTEM
On September 12, 1932, the Town appropriated $90,000.00 to purchase material and pay for labor of supervision and laying of a new water system in Manomet.
In the report of the Town for 1932 a complete statement was given of the prices paid for all ma- terial used, including two standpipes and the land on which the standpipes were erected.
The year 1933 has witnessed the practical com- pletion of this system.
The 500,000 gallon standpipe at Stone's was filled May 22, 1933, and the 50,000 gallon tank on tower at Porter Harlow's was filled about August 15, 1933.
It is gratifying to be able to report that both tanks are tight and appear to be functioning satisfactorily.
The system has been filled with water and the vari- ous hydrants put in commission as the work pro- gressed. At the date of writing this report (February 1, 1934) fifty-eight hydrants have been set and 58,000 ft. of pipe have been laid. On February 1, 1933, 5,000 ft. of 10" and 4,000 ft. 8" pipe had been laid.
It is a matter of interest to record that no leak has developed in the system; careful leakage tests through a by pass meter on various sections of the pipe lead to the conclusion that the joint leakage is exceedingly small.
The absence of leaks in a system with the size of pipe and the number of miles laid in Manomet indi- cates an excellent record on the part of the pipe manu- facturers (The Warren Pipe Co. of Massachusetts, Inc.) and also careful and conscientious work done by the Water Department men in laying this pipe.

A recording gauge specially designed to register slight changes in elevation was housed in a small building near the 500,000 gal. standpipe at Stone's. A fluctuation of water level as slight as two inches is readily detected on the chart upon which a continu- ous record is made. These charts which are changed daily give an extremely accurate and absolutely reli- able record of water level variations in this tank at all times.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR E. BLACKMER, Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
In making up the report of the Welfare Board for the year just ending, that of 1933, we instinctive- ly turn to the financial statement for the year, appearing in the report of the Town Accountant. We find the appropriation for the Department of Public Welfare, not including Old Age Assistance, was $90,000, with an overdraft of nearly $40,000, making a total relief expense outside of the Old Age Assistance of nearly $130,000. Now in comparing this 1933 expense with the same relief expense of the previous year, that of 1932, we find this ex- traordinarily trying year, just past, shows an in- creased expense of nearly $23,000. This increase reflects one of the Town's most difficult problems, if not its greatest.
