4. A plan for improvements at street corners by in-


-224-


creasing the radius of curvature. The Board made an ex- amination of several dangerous corners, and recommends to the Selectmen a special appropriation of $1,000.00 to accomplish this at the following points :


Sandwich Street at Lincoln Street.


Court Street at Brewster Street.


Court Street at Clyfton Street.


Court Street at Vernon Street.


Court Street at Samoset Street.


Court Street at South Park Avenue.


Court Street at North Park Avenue.


Court Street at Allerton Street.


Allerton Street near the monument.


It is not the intention of the Board to encourage greater speed at these corners, but only to make it easier to turn into and out of the tide of travel with the least interrup- tion to traffic.


5. A proposition for erecting a building at the corner of a main street and a side street, so located that it would obstruct the vision and be an element of danger to traffic, as well as a disfigurement of the landscape. The Board appreciates the appearance before it of the proponent of this project, and hopes he has abandoned it.


6. Ornamental lighting on Water Street. In conjunc- tion with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, and the Plymouth Electric Light Company, we considered and approved a plan for ornamental lighting on Water Street at Cole's Hill and the Rock.


7. Sanitaries near Cole's Hill. Several locations were suggested, the one most favored by the Board being at the southerly end of the reservation, near the outlet of Town Brook.


8. Acquiring by the Town, land easterly of Water Street, between the State Wharf and the new Town Wharf. The Board favors the acquiring by the Town at this time of so much of the above mentioned land as can be purchased at a reasonable price by agreement with the owners.


-225-


9. Public landing places and proposed new road at White Horse Beach. The Town now owns no shore prop- erty between Beach Park and Cedarville, except, perhaps, two or three fifty foot strips at White Horse Beach. The Board believes that the Town should seriously con- sider extending the road at White Horse southerly to the Point Road. This is of itself desirable and, in addition, will give better access to these strips; also, it may be pos- sible for the Town to acquire additional shore frontage in this vicintiy.


10. Proposed new road through the Alden Street School yard to connect Alden Street with Court Street. This is not considered expedient by the Board.


It is the desire of the Planning Board to be of the great- est possible service to the Town, and to that end we be- speak the support of all the citizens. Bring your ques- tions and your suggestions for town improvement to us and let us consider them together; let us be a clearing house for these matters. With cooperation of this kind we are sure many things can be accomplished that will be of benefit to the whole Town.

Report of Fire Commissioner


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Being appointed to the office of Fire Commissioner on Nov. 2, 1925, releasing Mr. Fred A. Jenks at that time I beg to make the following report.


After making a careful inspection, as to the buildings, I found the Central Station badly in need of immediate repairs, the North Station, repairs of a minor nature will put that building in reasonable good condition.


Also found that the former Commissioner had under consideration in conjunction with the Chief of Police, the formulation of some definite plan in regard to the pre- vention of conditions by auto and others, thereby inter- fering with the efficiency of the Fire Department, and trust that in the near future such plans will be con- sumated.


Respectfully submitted,


HENRY WALTON, Commissioner.

Over a mile of new underground cable was provided, slack wires were pulled up, bare wires insulated and tree


-228-


grounds cleared and frequently gone over, a new box in- stalled at the Jordan Hospital, a mile of new over head wires run and all fire alarm boxes repaired, cleaned and frequently tested.


HYDRANTS


Several new hydrants were added in different parts of the town during the year, a careful inspection of each hydrant was made during the month of November, and all were properly drained, to prevent them freezing dur- ing the cold weather.


INSPECTIONS


During the year Hotels and lodging houses were in- spected and gone over, as required by the State Police and reports turned into the State House.


In conclusion I wish to extend my thanks to the Hon- orable Board of Selectmen, for their co-operation and interest in the welfare of the department, to the Police Department for their assistance, and to all others that have volunteered their services or assisted the depart- ment in any manner, and to the officers and members of the department, for the efficient and faithful manner in which they have performed their duty.

For information concerning detailed work of the De- partment such as pipe laying, new services and the usual statistics that are published annually, reference may be made to the report of the Superintendent.


PROPOSED ADDITION TO HIGH SERVICE SYSTEM


Mention was made in the report of last year about the desirability of increasing the pressure at certain points west of Standish Avenue and along Samoset and Summer Streets.


A further study of this problem has convinced your Commissioners that this would be a desirable project to undertake during the coming year.


Their suggestion is to erect a standpipe of 50,000 gal- lons' capacity on a hill at Buckingham's, north of Sum- mer Street, and install a pump in a small station on Bil- lington Street at Deep Water Bridge. This pump would take its suction from the 16-inch gravity main leading from Little South Pond to the Low service, distributing reservoir on Allerton Street.


An 8-inch force main would be laid from this pumping station across Watson's land at "Hillside" to the stand- pipe at Buckingham's.


"From this point it would extend northerly probably across Royal Street and through Oak Ridge to Malaguti's, west of Standish Avenue.


By making suitable connections with existing mains it would be possible to put a considerable area, in the vicinity of the new pipe line, on this extra high service system.


We recommend an appropriation of $45,000.00 for this work.


METERS


The present low stage of our water supply bonds, due to a total deficiency in rainfall of 18 inches for the past three years, emphasizes the fact that our source of water


-239-


supply is not an inexhaustable one.


It is the opinion of the Commissioners that a prompt and rapid installation of meters should be begun and continued until all services are metered.


Meters should be set on all public buildings, school houses, cemeteries, etc., and each Department should pay for the water used by it.


The effect of this would be to make each Department more watchful of waste of water in the buildings and on the grounds under their supervision.


The installation of a meter on a service pipe in no way restricts the reasonable use of water by any consumer.


The experiences of hundreds of thoroughly metered cities and towns in the United States conclusively proves this statement.


It does, however, cut down waste of water and furn- ishes the only known way of equitably charging for water so that all consumers are treated alike.


We recommend an appropriation of $6,000.00 for meters for the ensuing year.


A conference between the Water Commissioners and Fire Commissioner Walton has resulted in an arrange- ment to place the responsibility for the care and main- tenance of fire hydrants with the Water Department.


Heretofore, the Water Department has set new hy- drants and repaired broken ones, and the Fire Depart- ment has paid for the work.


In the future, the inspection and maintenance of ex- isting hydrants and purchase and setting of new ones will be carried out by the Water Department.


This will necessarily involve an increased cost of main- tenance and we recommend an appropriation of $22,- 000.00 for maintenance for the year 1926.


The Fire Department has, also, kindly arranged to co- operate with the Water Department in case of emergen- cies such as broken hydrants or serious breaks in water mains.


-240-


In case any difficulty or delay is experienced in reach- ing Water Department employees the Fire Department has been furnished a list of the names and addresses of the employees and has offered to reach these men with the Fire Department automobile.

RAINFALL


The total deficiency in rainfall for the past three years has been '17.94 inches and we cannot expect full ponds again until we have had one or more years of rainfall considerably in excess of the average.


While there is no immediate danger of a water famine it is only prudent to conserve with great care the excel- lent supply of water we now have, and to attain this end a complete and reasonably prompt installation of meters is the first step that should be taken.


POND ELEVATION AND STORAGE DEPLETION


Plate I is the familiar chart that has been published for several years showing the variation in pond heights and corresponding changes in storage for the past ten years.


Plate I will be found opposite Page 248.


On January 1, 1926, Great South Pond was at a lower elevation (102.70 feet above mean sea level) than it has


-246-


been at any time since 1905, when the records were begun, and about 6 inches below its previous low record of 103.20 feet in November, 1917.


There has been a somewhat irregular but fairly uni- form decrease in pond heights and storage volume from May, 1923, to date.


On May 1, 1923, in Great South Pond and Little South Pond there was approximately 950 million gallons of water in storage above the intake pipe at the Little South Pond gate house.


On January 1, 1925, there was approximately 450 mil- lion gallons in storage, or a decrease of 500 million gal- lons in a period of two and one half years.


This low storage is the result of the low rainfalls in the years 1923-24-25.


The normal rainfall for Plymouth for the past thirty- nine years has been 46.18 inches.


The rainfall in 1923 was 42.39 inches, in 1924 37.20 inches and in 1925 41.01 inches.


CONSUMPTION


Plate II shows the weekly variation in average daily consumption on the high and low service system.


Plate II will be found opposite Page 249.


The average daily consumption on the low service for 1925 was 588,000 gallons, compared to 520,000 gallons in 1924.


The average daily consumption on the high service was 937,000 gallons, compared to 901,600 gallons in 1924.


The monthly records, kept at the Pumping Station, are shown on the following page.


The usual analysis of samples of water from Great and Little South Ponds have been made during the year by the State Department of Health, and copies are on file at the office of the Superintendent.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR E. BLACKMER,


Superintendent
