One Hundred and Sixth Annual Report of the Water Commissioners
The Board of Water Commissioners submits the One Hundred and Sixth Annual Report covering the calen- dar year 1960.
The total rainfall during the year amounted to 46.46 inches, which is slightly in excess of the annual average. An annual rainfall of 45 inches is a long-time average for this area. The year ended with the water elevation at Little South at 106.00 feet compared with 107.08 feet for the previous year. The generous rainfall occurring during 1958 and 1959 was an important factor in main- taining the high pond levels during 1960.
On February 22nd the Fairbanks-Morse Diesel en- gine and pump unit, operated for the last time. This unit was removed and sold for junk to provide space for the new electric motor-driven pumping equipment. On May 18th the two 30 HP electric motor-driven centrifu- gal pumps, each equipped with a gasoline engine standby unit, were put into service. Engineers from Metcalf and Eddy conducted the acceptance tests and their report indicated that all of the new equipment satisfied specifi- cations.
On November 16th, the low service or gravity system, was discontinued, including abandoning of the low service open ground reservoir on Allerton Street. All former water takers from the low service system were trans- fered to the high system. The Selectmen were notified by the Water Commissioners that the Water Department no longer had any use for this property abutting Allerton and Seaver Streets, on which the open reservoir was constructed, and requested the Selectmen immediately assume jurisdiction over this Town owned property.
-291-
In abandoning the low service system, many of the underground mains from this system were utilized by connecting them up with the high service water. As a result of this higher pressure in the old mains and serv- ices, a considerable number of leaks and breaks in the mains developed.
Warnings were issued on September 11th by the United States Weather Bureau on hurricane Donna. All storage tanks and reservoirs were filled to capacity and kept filled until 5:45 p.m. on Tuesday, September 12th, at which time the electric power supply to all of the pump- ing stations, including Manomet, failed. The Wolverine Diesel engine and pump standby unit was immediately started. At Deep Water Station, where water is repumped from the high to the extra high system, the electric power was off for a period of thirty hours. This made it neces- sary to put the portable gasoline engine-driven pump into operation by hooking the suction up to the high serv- ice water and repumping into the extra high system. In Manomet the power was off for a period of forty hours at the Wanno's Pond Deep Well Pump, which made it necessary to start the gasoline engine auxiliary power.
From the sale of water, connections to new mains, services rendered, etc., the Town received $123,018.80. Water revenue for 1960 exceeded the 1959 amount by ap- proximately $20,000.00, which was due to an increase in the rates. The increase, which amounted to 50%, was put into effect with the May 1960 billing.
The Buckingham elevated water tank was repaired and painted. Both exterior and interior were wire brushed and cleaned and given two coats of paint.
A new set of bronze wire screens were built for the intake house at Little South Pond.
-292-
Improvements to the Town Water System
Two important changes were made during the year, consisting of the discontinuance of the low service system and the conversion to automatic electric driven pumping equipment at the Lout Pond Pumping Station. The project of abandoning of the low service system was started approximately fifteen years ago, and it has been a necessarily slow, step by step operation, inasmuch as the condition of some of the old underground pipe was not known until the higher pressure was let into the pipe. With the discontinuance of this low service system, the Town water supply now complies with all the recom- mendations of the State Department of Public Health.
The installation of the automatic electric driven pumping equipment at the Lout Pond Station has in- creased badly needed pumping capacity. The present total pumping capacity, which includes the Lout Pond Station electric driven pumps, the Lout Pond Deep Well and the Manomet Wanno's Pond Deep Well, is 3,700 gal- lons per minute. The new equipment does not require as many operator man hours as did the former manually operated Diesel driven pumps, which permits use of the Assistant Chief on other departmental work.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Board of Selectmen has worked diligently to carry out its obligations to the best of their ability and is appreciative of the cooperation of all Town Commit- tees, Boards and Departments.
The Selectmen held numerous hearings on street lay- outs which the town will be asked to accept as town ways.
Street lighting has given the Selectmen some prob- lems since the school has gone on double sessions and we are requesting money to increase all 600 lumen street lights to 1,000 lumen. There are roughly 700 of these lights throughout the town.
The shore protection program that had been delayed, has finally begun to develop. Bartlett Brook and Warren's Cove have been completed and the work on the sea wall at Plymouth Beach is to start very shortly.
Speaking of Plymouth Beach, the Board of Select- men feel that this is one of the serious problems facing our town but, we believe, the General Committee, formed of members of various Boards is the step in the right direction toward showing the Town the course to follow.
Much time and energy has been spent by your Board and the Highway Superintendent on the improving of snow plowing and snow removal. We believe, this year has shown progress in this problem and feel that if some of the additional equipment needed to do the job better is forthcoming, further improvements will be made.
We also feel that the program of street surfacing is progressing nicely and with a grant for future spending, more streets will receive the attention they need.
-299-
The Board of Selectmen are conscious of the pos- sibility of the town having expenditures of great amounts facing it in the very near future and the Board pledges to operate all departments under their control in a most efficient and economical way possible.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS P. SHEA, Chairman JAMES T. FRAZIER SUMNER A. CHAPMAN, JR. WILLIAM H. BARRETT GEORGE E. RANDALL
Board of Selectmen.
TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
During 1960, the Town Forest Committee planted 5,000 seedlings in the areas where trees have been lost. In some places losses were suffered on account of the dry weather and we plan to plant 5,000 each year until the whole town forest is covered.
Lanes have to be harrowed each year to keep the growth down.
Roads are trimmed out each year as well as the fire lanes.
I would like to remind the people of Plymouth that this committee lost a very able man by the death of George L. Gooding, and he was replaced by Harold G. Roberts who has proven to be a very able man.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. KENNEDY, Chariman JAMES A. WHITE, Secretary HAROLD G. ROBERTS Town Forest Committee.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON INLAND FISHERIES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
Your Committee wishes to report that the appropria- tion for the year 1960 was expended for 7-8 inch brook trout which were liberated in Little Pond.
Reports from Great South Pond state that several catches of very large white and yellow perch were made there last summer.
Boot Pond contains a good supply of large pickerel.
Our efforts to obtain either white or yellow perch were unsuccessful this year.
We request that the sum of three hundred dollars be appropriated for our use in 1961.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK L. BAILEY, Chairman WILLIAM R. WOOD MARTIN B. PERSON, JR.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
During 1960, layout plans were made for Elm Street, Spruce Street, Pine Street, Hemlock Street, Bates Road, Extension of Beach Street, Bunker Hill Road, Dwight Avenue, Quaker Road, Vine Brook Road, Karle Place and Alteration of Nicks Rock Road. These layouts were ac- cepted by the Town in 1960.
A layout plan was also made for Lake Drive, but this layout was not accepted by the Town.
A survey was made of Bartlett Road preparatory to the laying out of this road in the near future.
A survey and plan were made for a drainage ease- ment on Clifford Road.
Plans and specifications were drawn and lines and grades furnished for a new sewer from Cherry Street Court to Bourne Street. This project was built by private contract in the fall of 1960.
Lines and grades were furnished for the new curb- ing at Jabez Corner and for the rounding of the corner at Obery Street and Sandwich Street.
A total of 101 permanent concrete bounds were set under the supervision of the Town Engineer as follows: Elm Street, 4 bounds; Bates Road, 4 bounds; Beach Street, 4 bounds; Hemlock Street, 8 bounds; Pine Street, 8 bounds; Spruce Street, 8 bounds; Vine Brook Road, 12 bounds; Center Hill Road, 14 bounds; Knapp Terrace, 8 bounds; Nicks Rock Road, 4 bounds; Karle Place, 10 bounds; Dwight Avenue, 7 bounds; Bunker Hill Road, 6 bounds; Westerly Road, 4 bounds.

OFFICE OF VETERANS' SERVICES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Plymouth, Massachusetts
The following is the report of the Veterans' Services Department for the year 1960.
The expenditure of relief funds was considerably higher this year for there were more Veterans and de- pendents requiring aid due to illness, strikes and unem- ployment.
The strike situation was a large factor in this year's budget.

REPORT OF INSECT PEST CONTROL
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
All elm trees which we could reach were sprayed with a 12% DDT dormant spray and another 6% DDT spray was used later in May for elm leaf beetles.
We still have less than one-half of one percent on Dutch Elm Disease. We maintain that our good control is, due to the good coverage of DDT that we get on night spraying. This year we had about 10 cases of Dutch Elm Disease, and 1960 was as bad as any year I have seen for elm leaf beetles, aphids, red spiders and mites, due mostly to weather conditions.
Our 1936 model sprayer will have to be replaced this. year as it is in very bad condition due to dry rot.
Clark's Island was sprayed last year for tent cater- pillars and another spray two weeks later for Japanese beetles.
One other insect which will need attention in 1961 is the saw fly which was very bad last year.
This, department plans on some airplane spraying in 1961.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. KENNEDY,
Superintendent Insect Pest Control.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSION OF PUBLIC SAFETY
February 21, 1961
Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Commission of Public Safety respectfully sub- mits its annual report for the year 1960. Reports of the various departments under the Commission will appear in detail following this report.
The Commission thanks the personnel under their control for their services to the Town. Also we have en- deavored to cooperate with all town departments for the best interest of the Town.
Our Health Division in a program of accelerated health work and the, Commission members, who are the Board of Health, have gained respect for this Town in their dealings with health problems from the Southeast- ern Health Association.
The repairing and renovation of the Police Station now underway and the construction of a new Fire Station in Manomet nearing completion will definitely be an asset to our community.
With regular meetings scheduled every Monday night plus special meetings and field trips the Town can rest assured we have the deepest concern for the protection of the citizens of our Town. If you read carefully and com- pare with previous years the reports of the several divi- sions of the Commission you can see our activities have increased greatly.
We would like, at this time, to thank Patrolman Win- ter and Firefighter Leslie Gray, who retired in 1960, for their loyal and faithful services to the Town.
The reports of our departments now follow:
