could be destroyed at home and thus relieve the labor and expense entailed at the dumping grounds.
The Board would again call the attention of the peo- ple of the Town to the Tuberculosis Clinic in the Gov. Bradford Building and urge all who require the services of a nurse or physician to use it.
The early treatment of this disease may mean a com- plete recovery.
The hours of the Clinic are 2 to 3, and 7 to 8 p. m., every Thursday.
We wish to thank the public for the support we have received the past year, and trust it will continue through the current year.
An appropriation of $18,000 is recommended for 1927.

The Water Commissioners record here with profound regret the loss by death, on August 6, 1926, of John Bodell, Chief Engineer at the Pumping Station. Mr. Bodell was appointed Engineer in May, 1907, and served in that capacity continuously until the time of his death. The Commissioners desire to express, at this time, their sincere appreciation of his faithful and loyal service to the Town during the time he was in their employ.
At the annual Town Meeting, in March, 1926, there was appropriated $45,000.00 for the construction of an extension to the high service system, as explained in the report of 1925. It is hoped that this work can be carried out in conjunction with a plan the Selectmen and Plan- ning Board are studying jointly, to construct a new west- erly road in the locality where the new pipe is to be laid.
The Commissioners understand that a final route has been approved and that an appropriation for grading this new road will be asked for at the March meeting.
During the past year 2,000' of 8" pipe has been made up for this job, and the balance necessary to complete this work will be ready by the time the road grading is finished.
The contracts for erecting the standpipe, building the pumping station and installing the pumps can be let as soon as the road layout is definitely determined.
A 6" pipe should be laid on Leyden Street, Chilton Street and Bradford Street during 1927 to replace some 4", 3", and 2" pipe now supplying these streets. This policy of replacing each year the the pipe in certain streets takes care of depreciation in the distribution sys- tem without an undue financial burden on the Town and without the necessity for a bond issue. The estimated cost of these proposed renewals for the ensuing year is $5,000.00, and we recommend an appropriation of this amount.
-268-
There have been 327 meters set during the past year, following out the policy of the Commissioners outlined in their 1925 report of making an effort to have all of the services metered in about five years.
There has been no substantial change in revenue, due to the increased number of meters in use, and there has been a decrease in high service consumption, and it is on the high service system that practically all of the meters have been set during 1926.
We urgently recommend a continuation of the policy of meter installation during 1927, and recommend that $6,000.00 be appropriated for this work.
It is the opinion of the Commissioners that an appro- priation of $22,000.00 for maintenance, the same amount we had last year, will be necessary to carry on the work of the Department during the coming year, and they recommend an appropriation of that amount.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Water Commissioners.
Gentlemen :
In accordance with the custom of this Department, I submit herewith the annual report of the Superintendent of the Plymouth Water Works for the year ending De- cember 31, 1926.

METERS
We have set 327 meters during 1926. 34 new services were metered and 293 meters were set on old services.
It will be very desirable to continue this policy until all services are metered, since that is the only satisfactory way of controlling consumption and equalizing water rates.
HYDRANTS
All hydrants have been inspected, oiled and painted during the year.
PUMPS
The Worthington Pump at the Pumping Station has been overhauled and repaired during the year and is in satisfactory condition to pump water up to its rated capacity.
Tests for slip made on both the Barr and Worthington Pump indicated that the slip is under 5% on each pump.

RAINFALL
The average rainfall for the past forty years has been 46.06 inches, and the total rainfall for 1926 was 46.55 inches or an excess of .49 above the average. This is the first year, since 1922, in which our rainfall has been above the average, and this would seem to indicate the beginning of an upward trend in our pond heights and storage.
POND ELEVATION AND STORAGE DEPLETION
Plate 1 shows the usual graphic representation of pond heights and storage depletion for the past ten ears.
The average height of Great South Pond for the year 1926 was 103.00, and this is the lowest yearly average since these records began to be kept in 1905. The average height in 1925 was 103.40, and the next lowest was in 1919 with an average height of 103.60.
These low ponds are the natural reflection of the years of rainfall below the average since 1922, and it will only be after a series of years of rainfall above the average that we can hope to see full ponds again.
CONSUMPTION
The consumption chart on Plate II shows, as usual, the average daily consumption by weeks for the high and low service system and the sum of these, giving the aver- age daily total consumption for the year 1926. The average daily low services consumption of 758,000 gallons was the highest for this system since these records have been kept, while the average daily high service consump- tion of 917,000 gallons was 20,000 gallons daily less than the high service consumption of 1925. I believe this re- duction in high service consumption over that of the previous year was due to the meters set in 1926, a very large proportion of which were set on the high service system.
-275-
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.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
In 1924 the Town, on recommendation of the School Committee, acquired the Murray lot, so-called, running from Court Street at Cold Spring through to Standish Avenue, together with an entrance to said land from the Alden Street school lot.
As mentioned in the 1924 and 1925 reports the Com- mittee deferred presenting to the Town for consideration and action any plan for a new school building on this lot, because of the extraordinarily large increase in the bonded debt of the Town in 1924.
The new building was desirable then and is now, but relief from the congested condition of both High Schools, to which reference was made last year, would seem the more urgent need of the Town. This condition is referred to more specifically in the Superintendent's report this year.
Besides shortage of room both of these structures lack much that is considered essential in present day school buildings, and the situation appears to call for a compre- hensive survey to determine the best thing to do.
The Hedge School playground addition has been filled and graded at a cost of $750.00. No fence has been built yet and possibly the fill needs to go through another win- ter before putting a fence on it. That is not determined at this writing. It is probable that the slope can be safely loamed and seeded this Spring. The balance of this ap- propriation is $1,004.40, and of the Hedge School build- ing addition appropriation $366.41.
Mr. Horace F. Turner resigned as Superintendent the latter part of July after four years' service, to accept a similar position in Milton, Mass.
There were fifteen or twenty applicants for the va- cancy. The Committee, however, made unanimous choice

of Mr. Anson B. Handy, Superintendent of Schools at Enfield, Conn.
Mr. Handy is a native of the adjoining town of Bourne, a graduate of Bridgewater Normal School and of Har- vard University, and has an experience of twenty years or more as teacher and superintendent.
Two "Kaustine" chemical toilets have been installed at The Cliff Street School with very satisfactory results, and the old outhouse has been removed. A similar instal- lation will be made at the Alden Street school during the February vacation.
Peter A. Dries has been appointed janitor at the Cornish and Burton schools in place of Lloyd F. Battles, resigned.
The few pupils at the Spooner Street school (only 9 enrolled as of December 31st, 1925) were taken into the Hedge School at the opening in September, and the former building is therefore not in use at present. Wheth- er or not this arrangement will be permanent cannot be determined at this time.
No additional High School pupils have been taken from the town of Carver this year and the present attendance from that Town is only seven.
Regular use of the assembly room at the Senior High . School for class room purposes necessitated the installa- tion of two additional radiators in the rear part of the room. The expense was about $300.00. A radiator has also been installed in the small hall adjoining the doctor's office at the Hedge School.
The 1926 budget included an item of $1,500 for better lights at the Cornish and Burton schools. This work has been done, the cost being $1,003.69.
The need of such improvements was graphically shown in the report of the School Physician for 1925, and as the same or similar conditions exist in most of the other schools we believe the Town should continue the work. For this purpose $1,500.00 is included in the 1927 budget,
-282-
having in mind the Knapp, Cold Spring and Alden Street schools, also the assembly room and corridor at the Senior High School.
. A new Dodge coupé has been purchased for the use of the School Nurse, the net cost with equipment being $942.00 and the old car.
A new woodworking lathe has been installed at the Junior High School, cost $320.00.
FIRE PROTECTION
As recommended in last year's report and as provided for in the 1926 budget, all of the larger schools - Hedge, Knapp, Burton and Cornish, Junior High, Senior High and Mt. Pleasant, have been connected with the Town fire alarm system by the installation of the "Dualarm" system of the Gamewell Company. This consists of six Master Boxes of the shunt type, so-called, one for each school, except in the case of the Cornish and Burton, also 31 remote pull boxes in the several buildings, including one in the Lincoln Street primary. The cost of the appara- tus was $3,060.26, which includes 70 additional cells and a new generator set which it was necessary to install in the Central Fire Station to take care of the additional boxes. The installation cost was $983.17.
The above mentioned expense prevented the installa- tion this year of a sprinkler system in the Junior High School basement as recommended in the 1925 report. The Committee believes the sprinkler system should be installed in 1927. The probable cost is about $2,000.00, and we have included an item of $3,000.00 in the 1927 budget for that and sundry small jobs.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee:
I herewith submit my first report as Superintendent of Plymouth Schools. As I have been associated with the system only since September, I cannot make a full report of the year's work or make as definite recommendations for the future as I will be able to do after further care- ful study of the special needs of the town.
