Continuous Registration of Voters, Chapter 51, Section 33, General Laws In towns having six hundred or more registered voters, any person shall be registered during regular business hours on application, except during such time as registration is not permitted by law.
In the year 1962 there were 702 names added to the voting list by registra- tions, while 253 names were dropped because of deaths and change of residence.
Registered Voters in the Town of Scituate on December 31, 1962, were 6,554.
The attention of interested parties is called to Chapter 51, Section 2, of the General Laws, viz: If the name of a female who is duly registered as a voter is changed by marriage or by decree of court, her right to vote in her former name shall continue until January first next following. Adherence to this law requires every female now on the voting list whose name is changed by marriage or by decree of court to appear before the Town Clerk or at an advertised meeting of the Board of Registrars and re-register as a voter if desirous of continuing to vote in Scituate, as her previous name will automatically be stricken from the list.

TOWN OF SCITUATE ANNUAL REPORT
A ten-inch water main was installed on First Parish Road from the railroad tracks to the Allen Library and a number of new subdivisions were connected to the system.
The Stearns Meadow pump house was torn down and a new, larger plant con- structed.
One hundred fifty (150) new services were installed and 68 old services were renewed.
A detailed table of the year's accomplishments follows this report, including all capital expenditures which determine the valuation of the Department.
Again I wish to thank the heads and personnel of all departments for their fine cooperation throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM T. SHERMAN Superintendent

TOWN OF SCITUATE ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
It has been our pleasure this past year to see the results of longrange planning. Eight years ago this Board started planning for a new standpipe to provide the Town with a water system adequate to take care of the Town's needs. This standpipe alone is not enough. In 1963 we hope to finish the replacement of water mains on First Parish Road. This plan started five years ago at Scituate Center and extends to the Harbor. The Main replacement program has a long way to go and at 2,000 feet per year it will take 26 years to complete this task.
Our water supply at the present is sufficient to take care of our needs for nine months of the year. During the summer months, demand at times exceeds the supply.
We are prospecting for additional water each year through the combined efforts of well drilling and seismic survey.
We wish to thank the many Town Departments for their cooperation during the past year, and especially the Highway Department for keeping many water trenches in repair.
Respectfully submitted,
WATER COMMISSIONERS
REPORT OF THE WATER SUPERINTENDENT
To: The Water Commissioners of Scituate:
Gentlemen:
Respectfully submitted herewith is the 31st Annual Report of the Scituate Water Department, showing the work accomplished during the year 1962.
At the Annual Town Meeting, $130,000.00 was voted for the construction of a 1,250,000-gallon water tower on Pincin Hill. This money included the cost of a twelve-inch water main from Route 3-A running to and connecting with the water tower, together with all necessary appurtenances.
Ground was broken in the spring and the base of the tower prepared. The con- tract for the structure was awarded to the Graver Tank & Mfg. Co. for a low bid of $70,970.00.
During the summer the concrete base was installed and in October the steel tower construction began and was completed in December.
The tower will be painted and put into operation during the spring of 1963 and be ready for the peak summer loads.
