Since adoption of the 1958 report the fire protection charge has been computed as a percentage of the out- standing funded debt attributable to the Water Depart- ment. This percentage (70%) having been arrived at by an allocation study of the Phase I extension and expan- sion of the water system.
This method, while it has served adequately for several years, is difficult to justify in its application to a system whose present expansion is quite different from Phase I. As can be seen over the past few years the fireprotection charge has decreased while the system has grown. Accordingly, your Committee felt that the fire protection charge should be determined as a portion of the required gross revenue of the Department, i.e .: the overall Departmental Expenses including such items as debt service and retirement.
In making this study the Committee has kept in mind the following basic principles. Charges for a class- ification of service should be:
1. Based on the cost to provide the service.
-145-
2. Realistic in relation to the charges for other classes of service.
3. Based on the value of the service.
"When the fire protection charge is based on the cost to provide this service, the major problem in deter- mining this cost is the method by which joint use plant costs and expenses are allocated between fire protection and general use. At this level there is considerable dif- ference of opinion among the rate makers as to what constitutes a reasonable approach.
"There are three basic concepts in arriving at a fire protection charge-usually received from property own- ers through municipal taxation-based on the cost to the utility to provide said fire protection."
1. Fire protection as an incremental cost.
2. General use as an incremental cost.
3. Equal importance to each class of service. Usually referred to as the capacity-ratio method.
The first and third of these basic approaches have been studied and applied at various times since 1888. There is much disagreement among researchers as to the proper method to be used, and it would be unduly con- fusing at this point to go into an analysis of conflicting reports which occupied this Committee for several months. The interested reader is referred to the list of acknowledgments appended to this report. There is, how- ever, one item upon which all researchers agree. As a general rule the larger the population served and the greater the general use capacity, then the lower will be the portion of gross revenue allocated to fire protection.
"Before proceding further, let us discuss the effect upon the water user and the utility of changes in rev-
-146-
enue to the utility through the fire protection charge. At the time a fire protection charge is established the gross revenue to which a utility is entitled does not change. Therefore, if the fire protection charge is increased, the portion of the water revenue based on general use must be decreased. Likewise, if the fire protection charge is decreased, the revenue from general use charges must be increased in order to maintain the same total gross revenue to which the utility is entitled.
"The most common, and perhaps most feasible, method of collecting the fire protection charge is from the municipality through the tax rate, and therefore from the property owner in proportion to the assessed value of his property. Assuming that the charge for fire pro- tection has been properly computed, and that the prop- erty valuation has been properly assessed, the payment to the utility for fire protection is equitable.
"It certainly is not the province of this committee to study the tax structure. Nevertheless, it should be point- ed out that even if it were possible to apportion perfectly the utilities cost to provide fire protection, the method of tax valuation could cause inequities in the payment of that charge."
In studying several allocation reports it immediately became apparent that a wide range of results were avail- able due to:
1. The method of allocation used.
2. The amount of detail, or lack of detail, in the accounting data used.
3. The judgment of the allocator.
Therefore, this Committee recommends the curve shown in Fig. I as the basis of determining the percentage

of required gross revenue (total annual expenses) which should be charged to fire protection. This curve was prepared by the Maine Water Utilities Association Com- mittee and has been adopted by that association. It is based on the allocation of fourteen utilities varying in population served from 500 to 140,000. This curve is designed to give results somewhere between the incre- mental cost and the capacity-ratio theories of allocation.
In using this curve ... "The ratio of peak flow, to fire flow requirement based on the N.B.F.U. formula* takes into consideration variations in water usage in towns of the same population." When, as in Duxbury, the peak hourly flow is not readily available, it is sug- gested that it be estimated on the basis of 11/2 times the average flow on the peak day, a figure obtainable from the Water Superintendent's annual report. In this regard this Committee has deviated from the Maine commit- tee's report. They recommend the use of 21/2 times the average daily flow, however, your Committee, having an- alysed the pumping and storage charts for the actual peak hour, found that the true figure is more closely approximated by the suggested method. One and one- half times the average flow on the peak day is the most commonly accepted method of arriving at the peak hourly flow, and conforms with the recommendations of the N.B.F.U.
"The curve in Fig. 1 is dotted above 30%. The com- mittee material did not include studies in this area on the capacity-ratio method and, therefore the curve above 30% is trended as shown."
*N.B.F.U. Formula:
Required Fire Flow=Sq. root of X -:- 1020
(1-Sq. root of X -:- . 01) (X=Pop. in 1000s)

The Maine committee points out that to charge for fire protection service on the basis of an allocation study for both very large and very small long established com- munities would provide a rate which is not realistic in relation to the rates charged for the other classes of service and/or to the value of the service. Therefore, they recommend that an upper limit of 30% and a lower limit of 6% be set as cut-off points when allocations go beyond these percentages.
"The (Maine) committee recommends that regardless of allocation the existing fire protection charge should not be drastically changed if such change would materi- ally upset the existing rate structure. The change, if any, should be gradual and in the direction of the allo- cation."
In summary, your Committee recommends that the fire protection charges for the Town of Duxbury be de- termined by an application of the curve shown in Fig. I. That the percentage figure so obtained (using 30% and 6% as cut-off percentages) be applied to each year's total Water Department Expenses to obtain the fire protection charge for the subsequent year. And that the amount so determined be raised and appropriated under Article 4 of the Warrant for that year.
Since its inception in 1959 the fire protection charge has steadily decreased from $29,978.00 to an amount last year of $24,593.00 reflecting a decrease in the outstanding debt of the Department. This decrease is in no way consistent with the rising cost of running the Depart- ment and, if allowed to continue, will necessitate a sub- stantial increase in water rates. Under the proposed method the charge will be more stable from year to year, it being a function of operational activity as well as growth.

DUXBURY TWO-WAY RADIO COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Committee appointed by you "to study the desir- ability and practicability of establishing a modern two- way radio communication system throughout the several Town Departments and bring in a report, including esti- mate of cost at the next Town Meeting," submits the following report:
There seemed to be no question that the various Town Departments desired radio communication.
To apply a modern two-way radio communication system to the various Town Departments with the best coverage, and in the most economical manner, was the biggest problem of your committee. In the study of sev- eral other Towns' systems, we found they made use of matching funds from Civil Defense.
Our best thoughts with the information obtained was a system to include:
1 Base Station (heavy duty) with 50 foot self sup- porting mast
4 Remote Controls
13 Mobile Units
Your Committee feels the base station should be lo- cated in the Police Department, where there is available emergency power and a man on duty 24 hours a day to operate it.
With a remote control in the Police, Fire, Water, and Highway Department offices you would have coverage of all mobile units, plus communication between remote control stations by leased telephone lines, which would
-- 152-
tie the remote control units together to make use of the one base station or power plant.
The committee allocated the mobile units as follows:
2 Tree and Park Departments
4 Water Department
7 Highway Department
It was the thought of your committee any Depart- ment could be added to this functional system anytime in the future when the Town thought it necessary.
For technical and engineering advice on this matter your committee was fortunate in that A. J. Nielson, who works for Duxbury Fire and Police Departments, offered his services. His estimated cost of the above described system installed was $11,500.
It is our understanding, to obtain Civil Defense as- sistance, the Town appropriates this amount of money, and then can apply for the matching funds.

REPORT OF THE DUXBURY FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Duxbury Finance Committee held its organiza- tional meeting on May 25, 1962 at which time new mem- bers Wallace L. Macaulay, Haven Sawyer, Jr., Clarence W. Walker and Walter C. Wrye, Jr. were welcomed, and the following officers were elected:
Chairman, Charles M. Tenney, Jr. Vice Chairman, Charles H. Fargo Secretary, Haven Sawyer, Jr.
Also, various sub-committees were appointed to carry out all the necessary procedures required for the entire com- mittee to make intelligent recommendations on depart- mental budgets. A Capital Outlay Sub-Committee was appointed with Theodore H. Reed as chairman. It will be the function of this body to recommend to the Finance Committee the proper accruals to the Stabilization Fund based on their study of future large capital items and the most economical manner in which to finance them.
During the fall several field trips were made to the major departments in order that members could fully understand their operations. The committee appreciates the extra time that these Department Heads devote to us since it makes our work more meaningful and less time consuming.
Discussions were held with the Selectmen regarding the possibility of closing the warrant two weeks earlier. Since this committee has only one week in which to study some special articles before going to press, it is under- standable why many do not contain recommendations. We feel that this extra time will allow voters to receive the printed warrant with practically all of the Finance Committee's recommendations.
-162-
The possibility of centralizing gasoline storage and quantity purchases for all Town departments was dis- cussed with the Selectmen. Preliminary figures indicate that some savings could be realized.
Each year certain "extraordinary or unforeseen ex- penditures" become necessary. A Reserve Fund to meet these emergencies is voted at Town Meeting each year and the Finance Committee is charged with the responsi- bility of deciding when funds should be transferred. During the year the committee has made the following transfers:

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
January 4, 1963
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Duxbury, Massachusetts
It was felt by the heads and members of the several service departments in the Town of Duxbury that the Civil Defense Department could be of great service to the people, if it was organized primarily to handle "Local Disasters" such as floods, hurricanes, snow storms, etc. With all this in mind we have reorganized the Civil De- fense Department to use all the existing town operated service departments, along with privately owned enter- prises such as garages, school bus operations, and all the different contractors of the town.
-164-
However, we have not overlooked the nuclear threat. We all fully realize the possibility of a National Disaster such as a nuclear attack. We have three fully qualified radiological instructors who will set up and train person- nel for several monitoring stations to meet the recom- mendations of the Massachusetts C.D. Agency.
The C.D. headquarters have been moved to the Cen- tral Fire Station. A communication center has been set up there to give contact with the state CD Agency, Dis- trict CD Agencies, State and Local Police, all Fire services in the Plymouth County network, and "Ham" operators. We hope to have contact with all the town operated agen- cies, if favorable action is taken on an article in the war- rant, for radios to be placed in the town vehicles. The Central Fire Station is manned at all times, and it has its own source of power along with a self contained alert system.
At the present time we have met all the qualifications of the Federal CD Agency to receive the benefits of avail- able matching funds. Following this report will be found on outline of the organization of our plan.
In closing we are proud to state that the heads and members of all the departments and others named in the outline have pledged their full support to carry out the plan. We all feel this will add greatly to the protection of life and property in the Town of Duxbury in the event of an emergency.
