REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS AND SEWERS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Gentlemen:


I herewith submit a report of the work done in the Street and Sewer Departments from January 1 to December 31, 1947.


SEWERS


The sewer work has been carried out this year with the new extension laid on the following streets: Wellings- ley Ave., 200' of 8" sewer pipe and new manhole built, Knapp's Terrace, 350' of 8" pipe and one new manhole. Approximately 1,000' of sewer lines have been dragged and tree roots removed. Manholes have been cleaned out with several new ones built and repaired and several new services installed. The main sewer on Sandwich Street had to be repaired in front of the Jenney Gas Sta- tion because of collapse pipes. This sewer is 16' deep and required cribbing a trench 18' long and 4' wide. Three 15" pipe were replaced and 50' of main sewer had to be cleaned where sand and gravel washed into it. A six foot standpipe had to be replaced for sewer service into the Resnick property.


STREET CLEANING


The usual work of cleaning streets and catchbasins has been carried out this year.


ASPHALT SIDEWALKS


Approximately 5,580 sq. yds. of asphalt hot mix side- walks were laid on streets that were in a very dangerous condition. Other sidewalks were repaired where tree roots had raised and broken the surface. This work will be carried out this coming year.


-99-


HIGHWAY CONST. & RECONST.


The following streets were resurfaced with asphalt, tar, sand and peastone: Grant St., Walnut St., Mckinley Road, Standish Ave., Water St., Cotton St., Alvin Road, Winter St., Union St., Manomet Ave., White Horse Road, Dias Road, Peck Ave., Vinal Ave., Gray Ave., Birch Ave. and shoulders on Cliff St. that needed to be brought up to grade. At Russell Mills Road, a mixed-in-place sur- face, of tar and gravel was laid over the old gravel sur- face 21/2" deep for a distance of 1/2 mile and 20' wide. The same type of surface was laid over the old gravel surface on Boot Pond Road, a distance of 6/10 of a mile and 22' wide, sealed with asphalt and sand.


DRAINS AND BROOKS


Samoset Street, 100' of 18" pipe was removed, cleaned, replaced and the brook filled in with gravel. Hedge Road, the brook from Court St. to the ocean was dug out with a shovel, a depth from one foot to three feet deep and four feet wide and all culverts cleaned out. Point Road, a new drain was installed on this road to take care of surface water. Forty-four feet of 12" pipe was laid with stone header at each end. Bartlett Brook was dug out with a gas shovel where the northeast storms had filled it up with sand. Off Alden St., 150' of drain pipe was removed, pipes cleaned and replaced.


CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION


Main St. Ext., Main St. and Court St. from Water St. to Russell Ave. was resurfaced with 21/2" of Hot Mixed Type I laid by the Old Colony Crushed Stone Co. of Quincy. All Electric Light Co. manholes, Telephone Co. manholes, sewer manholes and water gates were raised to grade and new ones replaced where needed. In sev- eral places the sidewalk and curbing were raised to meet grades. The cost of this work was $20,000.00 with the state contributing $10,000, County $5,000 and town $5,000. I recommend having this work continue for 1948.

GRANOLITHIC SIDEWALK & CURBING


Corner Court & Brewster Sts., 40' cement curbing was rebuilt, 4 slabs 4'x4'-4" was replaced. Corner No. Park Ave. & Court St. 30' cement curbing was rebuilt and re- placed with three slabs 3'x3'-4". At Winter St. a cement slab in a driveway was removed and curbing put in its place. Oceanview Ave., on the west side, 399' of curbing was built and on the east side 164' of curbing making a total of 563' of curbing, 7" wide and 21" deep for a side- walk to be laid this coming year. The seawall on Water St. was pointed up with stone and cement to prevent the tide water washing in back of it. A number of cement slabs were replaced where tree roots had raised them up.


MISCELLANEOUS


Fence at Black Pond, on the Old Sandwich Road, was built for a distance of 300' with wooden posts and wooden guard rail. Cliff Street had 200' of wooden guard rail fence rebuilt.


The old Town Highway Barn in the rear of the In- firmary was taken down because of its dangerous con- dition and all lumber in good condition was cleared of nails and stored away for future use.


Several roads in the outlying districts and in town were brushed out this fall in some of the most dangerous places.


Lines and grades for street and sewer work have been supplied by the Town Engineer, Edward Chase, and rec- ords of same filed at his office.


Respectfully submitted,


ELMER C. CHANDLER,


Supt. of Streets and Sewers.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH BOARD OF HEALTH 1947


The past year has been an unusually satisfactory one for the Board of Health. The health of the community was high with the smallest number of communicable diseases reported for a number of years. Your Board of Health is still concerned with the neglect of some physicians and many parents in promptly reporting a communicable disease to the Board of Health. It is im- portant, whether or not a physician attends a case of sickness, that all communicable diseases be reported promptly to your Board of Health; this may prevent a serious epidemic.


The work of the Board during the past year has been largely of a routine nature, due we believe to the pro- gram of improvement and health control which has been followed by your Board of Health for the past years.


For the year ending December 1947 the following con- tagious diseases were reported.


Chicken-Pox 22


Dog Bite


20


Measles 13


Scarlet Fever 11


Pul. Tuberculosis


1


Trichinosis


1


Whooping Cough 10


Gonorrhea


3


Syphillis


8


Total 89


The program of tuberculosis control has been carried on in the usual way. Sixty-five persons were examined and x-rayed at the Plymouth County Hospital.

All cases of contagion are being hospitalized at the Haynes Memorial Hospital in Brighton. We are sending cases to Brighton because a shortage of nurses exists in Plymouth which required closing the contagious wing of the Jordan Hospital although the town contributes to the maintenance in event it may be re-opened. The con- tract between the Jordan Hospital and the Board of Health we believe to be a favorable one for the people of Plymouth.


We wish to remind all parents that once each year there is a clinic held at the Board of Health rooms for the immunization against diptheria. This disease is on the increase according to reports of the State Depart- ment of Public Health so we advise the parents of Plym- outh children to take no chances but to bring their chil- dren to the clinic for immunization. The time and date of the clinic will be published in the local paper.


The regular and complete analysis and inspection of milk continues under the able direction of our milk in- spector and the Steele Laboratory at East Bridgewater. The reports are excellent and show that a high quality of milk is being sold in the town. Careful inspection is made at regular intervals of all eating establishments, pasteurization plants, stores, bakeries, fish markets and other places handling edible products. Your Board de- mands a high standard and is glad to report that the cooperation of Plymouth establishments has been excel- lent.
