REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor would respectfully submit the following report :
The Almshouse remains in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Obed C. Pratt. The house is kept in first class condition through- out. The inmates are well fed and comfortably clothed, and the condition of the whole institution will compare favorably with like establishments in our neighboring towns and cities. It has been found necessary to make certain repairs during the past year at a cost of about $200. We close the year with an undrawn balance of $505.24. It is thought the same appropriation as that of 1894 will be necessary, namely $7,000, and the same is recommended.
INSANE POOR.
In this department it is difficult to foresee the probable amount required. The Overseers at the beginning of the year thought $2,500 would be ample, but owing to the large increase in the number of inmates, it was insufficient, and we close the year with an overdraft of $342.81. It is thought that an appropriation of $2,800, with an additional $342.81 for the deficiency, will be necessary, and is recom- mended.
Amount expended for the poor of our own and
other towns and cities $8,862 73
Received from other towns and sources 1,735 33
Amount expended for the poor of Plymouth $7,127 40

The Commissioners would recommend, as soon as the new street is laid out from Allerton Street to Kingston line, and accepted and the grade line established, the laying of a new pipe through the new street. This would give a supply to the new street, and a much better supply to the north part of the Town. The only supply of the Town north of Allerton Street is a four-inch pipe which is inadequate to furnish a sufficient supply for domestic and fire purposes. In case of a break in the pipe between Allerton Street and Spooner's Pond. All that section is entirely deprived of water until it can be repaired.
Reports of the Superintendent, Collector and Engineer are appended and made a part of this report.

Total number of feet and cost.
The 10-inch pipe that was laid around Thomas' swamp two years ago has been connected with the main at a cost of $304.49. Water was let in pipe September 10th.
91 STREET MAINS.
The street mains are in good condition. We have had more breaks the past year than ever before, caused by the increased pressure on the pipes and the settling of the sewer trench. The high pressure reservoir was turned on into all pipes August 6th and kept on until September 7th, and the increased pressure on the pipes caused for a time a large number of breaks. At present the number is greatly dimin- ished, and probably the weak places are about all repaired. August 8th the pipe was struck by lightning, on South Street. The cost of repairs was $11.92. The breaks and cost of the repairs are included in the following table.

SERVICE PIPES.
The street mains have been tapped for new supplies in 37 places, at a cost of $159.82. Add those in use as per last year's report, 1,543, making a total of 1,580. Deduct two services that have been discontinued, leaving 1,578 services in use. The total street length of service pipes is 28,801 feet. There have been 16 leaks and obstructions in service pipes this year, the cost of repairs and removing obstruc- tions being $35.47. A great part of the leaks on the service pipes was caused by the settling of the sewer trench. One iron service pipe has been taken out and replaced by lead at a cost of $1.30.
GATES.
Eleven new gates have been set this year. The cost of ten of the above gates is included in the cost of the exten- sions to which they belong. One 4-inch gate was placed on Court Street at a cost of $15.60. All gates have been inspected and put in good condition. Four air cocks have been put in, one on 4-inch pipe, Alden Street, and three on 10-inch pipe, two at Thomas' Swamp and one at the Pump Station. One new 4-inch blow-off has been put in on Water Street.
