The pumps, which were designed to carry the peak loads in summer could be operated to better advantage and more economically if there were more storage in the system, and I would recommend the construction of a 1,000,000 gallon stand- pipe as soon as money is available for such a project. This installation would also increase the fire protection service to a very considerable extent.
There are many small, shallow mains through the shore sections of the Town. These mains give inadequate service in many cases and require considerable attention by the Depart- ment in the fall and spring, and as some of them have bleeders open during the winter it means additional pumpage. The re- placing of these small mains with six inch or larger cast iron pipes would materially build up the system and should be given serious consideration.
RAINFALL
The normal rainfall of Massachusetts, as deduced by the State Board of Health, from long term observations in differ- ent sections of the state is 44.34 inches.
Rainfall records are now being made at the Greenbush Station, and as shown by the table there was a deficiency of 3.60 inches this year, compared with the State observations. There was an excess of precipitation in March and June, and a deficiency in all the other months. On June 9, 1931, there was an excessive rainfall of 3.79 inches.

REPORT OF THE SCITUATE SAFETY COUNCIL
During 1931 there were recorded at police headquarters, 55 accidents on the highways of the town resulting in the per- sonal injury of 53 persons. Providentially there were no deaths, but when cars are overturned, demolished and burned, the margin between injury and death is negligible. Other collisions and near accidents occurred which escaped record. There were 46 accidents reported in 1930 and 42 injuries. The following tabulation lists the location, date and number injured.

Report of Scituate Safety Council
were four collisions and twelve persons injured.
As in the two preceding reports your attention is particu- larly called to the large number of accidents on the Country Way. The Committee has considered its narrowness and every intersection, turn and obstructed view. They obtained the aid of the State Department of Highways who have increased the white center lines and have added and improved the arrangement of signs at Hatherly School, Mann Lot Road, Curtis Street and Greenbush. The maintenance and signs of the Country Way itself are entirely outside of the jurisdiction of the town, but the town is responsible for all intersections.
To plan for further improvements of these intersections, the services of the Traffic Engineer of the Governor's Committee has been obtained and he has made a study of each feature of this highway with photographs and surveys of the present intersec- tions and will, in the near future, give an ideal layout at each point, so, that when changes are made, they can be made to the best advantage.
The most important item on the Country Way, and the one which has received the greatest amount of attention by the Committee, is the Railroad crossing at North Scituate. For two years the Committee and Selectmen have urged the Railroad officials and the State Departments to further safeguard this crossing.
On November 4th the Department of Public Utilities heard a petition for changes at the crossing. In January they ruled that such changes should be made "As will be acceptable to the Inspection Division of the Department of Public Utilities." The Division of Inspection has not decided what form of signals to install but it can not but improve the safety of the crossing.
On reviewing the list of accidents, attention was attracted to the age of drivers involved. Sixteen to nineteen years were reported in five cases. This fact is particularly called to the attention of parents who authorize the younger members of the family to use cars.
185
Report of Scituate Safety Council
To the attention of the North Scituate summer colony is brought the record of accidents due to lack of care where the view was obstructed by foliage. Special caution and control of vehicles at all intersections is necessary to avoid seriously damaging a summer vacation in that locality.
The occurrence of three, three car, rear end collisions would warrant attention by the road hog who makes it difficult for cars to pass on narrow winding roads and for those who drive too close to the car ahead.
Sidewalks received attention during the year and it is hoped that future construction will follow the comprehensive plan laid down last year.
The next item on the list is First Parish Road. The number of accidents is some indication of the use of this thoroughfare and the importance to the school children attending the largest school center. The road from Scituate station to the Civic Center and from the Country Way to the Civic Center is one of the most important streets in the town. It is undoubtedly a permanent road location. It is as straight and wide in its present location as any road in the town and justifies attention as serving the town people as a whole.
The school busses in their bright distinctive color and the bus contracts which covered the plans for safety adopted by the Commonwealth are highly commendable. A continuous plan of educating the school children in safety on the highways, in the homes and at work is the most fruitful line of attacking this problem.
Railway crossing signs have been repainted and relocated in almost all cases. White center lines have been extended throughout the town but many more should be added and the old ones maintained.
The recent cutting of road side shrubbery was an excellent safety activity.
186
Report of Scituate Safety Council
The increase in accidents and injuries noted above should impress the public with the importance of control in driving. There were no unforseeable surprises in any of these accidents.
