The collection and disposal of garbage being forced upon the Town of Plymouth, this board was given the responsibility. Since May 1933 it has been car- ried on with much success, owing to the cooperation of the people, and the efficacy of the men in charge. An analysis of the comparatively few complaints in- dicates that the majority of them were not justified. Practically all were due to the inadequacy of the household containers. Each complaint is reported to our inspector, and he in turn makes a thorough in- vestigation at the premises, obtains all facts, and if the fault is with the homeowner, our regulations are explained.
Although we do not cover the whole town, as there are permits issued to six individuals who have small piggeries, we cover a large area making 3,750 resi- dential stops during the week, besides all restaurants, hotels and stores every day. Each stop means many collections. During the summer season one can judge for themselves how much more is added to this work by our summer population.
We wish to thank the public for the support we have received the past year, and trust it will continue through the current year.

REPORT OF FIRE COMMISSIONER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit the report of the Plymouth Fire Department for the year of 1933.
The department is still maintaining the high standard of efficiency as shown by the statistical report, the total loss being $21,070.40 (twenty-one thousand dollars and forty cents) based on a popula- tion of 13,000, is but $1.62 per person, being an ex- cellent record as shown by National Statistics, the total exposed value being $148,992.00 which shows the loss but 14.1%. Three hundred and fifty calls being answered during the year.
The continued excellent record as shown certainly entitles the department to the loyal support of your Honorable Board and the citizens of the town.
PERSONNEL
The excellent spirit of enthusiasm and co-opera- tion continues to exist throughout the entire depart- ment; this is clearly shown by examination of the attendance at fires, records of which show over 90% attendance of call men and close to 100% of off duty permanent men.
BUILDINGS
Both the Central and North Stations are now in excellent condition, both having been painted inside and out and a new gravel roof on the Central Station, this being possible by the approval of your Honorable Board of the C.W.A. project.
-135-
து
APPARATUS
Housed at Central Station
Combination A-350 gallon pump, hose and booster line.
Combination D-350 gallon pump, hose and booster line.
Combination B-750 gallon pump and hose.
City Service Ladder Truck.
Dodge Truck 90 gallon water tank, booster pump, hose, 18 chemicals.
Federal Truck 80 gallon water tank, booster pump, hose, 18 chemicals.
Chief's Car.
NORTH STATION
Combination hose and booster pump.
Horse drawn ladder truck.
As mentioned in the 1933 report, to put Combina- tion B & D and Ladder Truck in good condition, con- siderable work would have to be done, and as previ- ously reported to the Honorable Board at the time the repairs were in process it was discovered that considerable more work was necessary than was an- ticipated, which as you are aware caused an over- draft on the department appropriation, which was much to be regretted but could not be avoided.
At the present time all of the apparatus appears to be in good condition with the exception of the horse drawn ladder truck which has been referred to in previous reports. The chief's car which was purchased in 1925 is in very poor condition, con- tinually having to be repaired and beyond all question of doubt should be replaced during 1934, provision is to be made in the budget to take care of this item
-136-
and it is hoped that it will receive favorable con- sideration.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The Fire Alarm System outside lines are in good condition but should be extended as suggested in 1933, from Cliff street to a point beyond Hotel Pilgrim. The apparatus at headquarters is not so good, the motor generator gave trouble and on in- vestigation it was found that transformers were better and more economical, it was found possible in the emergency to rent them on condition that they would be purchased in 1934, which was done.
It might be well to state that if favorable con- sideration is given to the petition for fire alarm ex- tension by the residents of Manomet, that the re- peater will have to be replaced as the one now in service is loaded to capacity and has given Plymouth thirty-five or forty years of service and had outlived its usefulness in another city before being purchased by Plymouth.
WATER FOR FIRE FIGHTING
Conditions are steadily improving, the Manomet System which we have used only once proved a great help and I am reliably informed has resulted in a considerable saving in insurance rates on property within range of hydrants.
The Agriculture Department under the C. W. A. projects has sixteen men at work making approaches to ponds that will allow the fire trucks to get within pumping distance, this work called for the Fire De- partment assuming the expense for truck hire, I be- lieve this work to be very valuable not only to build- ings, but wood lands also, and hope it may be con- tinued.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
For the Year Ending December 31, 1933
The past few years we have been working con- stantly to reduce the amount expended for the care of the several Cemeteries, without serious damage to their general care and appearance.
With this in mind, it may be of interest to the citizens and taxpayers of the Town to note that the total appropriations for Cemetery purposes for 1930 amounted to $15,600, and for 1933 they amounted to $12,000. As the average receipts by the Town for the care of lots, interments, etc., for the same four years were about $3,750 per year, the net expense to the Town has been reduced from $11,850 in 1930 to $8,250 in 1933, or about 30%.
There is a great deal of work necessary on the Avenues, Trees, etc., but we feel that with labor the Welfare Department and the Federal Government will be able to furnish, we can care for the Cemeteries with the same amounts appropriated as last year.
At Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries the only extraordinary expenditure was for a fireproof safe which was installed in the Superintendent's Office at an expense of $147.25. This to safeguard the plans of lots, records and locations of burials, etc. Unfortu- nately two large pines were struck by lightning last Summer, and damaged so badly that they had to be taken down. We hope to set out some new trees the coming year, especially in the Northwesterly section, which has been developed the past few years, and
-142-
where there are many desirable lots. This last Fall there have been quite a number of Moth nests found and creosoted.
At Burial Hill the only extraordinary expense was the necessary repairs to the brick walks, which in the early Summer were found to be in a dangerous con- dition. The expense of this work ($276.00) was taken from surplus income from the Warren Fund.
At Chiltonville Cemetery, aside from the general care, the fence was repaired and painted, the labor for painting being furnished by the Welfare Depart- ment.
Considerable general work has been done at Man- omet Cemetery, and water pipe purchased which we expect will be laid and connected for use early the coming Spring.
No special work was done at Cedarville, other than mowing and cleaning up.
At South Pond Cemetery some extra work was done in cleaning out a large number of pitch pines which were gradually filling up the cleared space.
The old Cemetery on the Shore Road to Manomet, opposite the Taylor Farm, and the Cemetery at Rus- sells Mills were both cleared of underbrush and mowed during the Summer.
We recommend the following appropriations for 1934: :
Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries, $10,000.00
Burial Hill,
1,200.00
Outlying Cemeteries, 800.00

REPORT OF HARBOR MASTER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my report for the year 1933. Along the water front, the same lack of activities has prevailed during this year, as was the case during 1932.
Owing to the great improvement made in 1930 to the Anchorage Basin, I have found safe anchorage for the various cruising yachts which have taken ad- vantage of the increased facilities afforded them, and have made an overnight stop here in some in- stances, making a longer stay.
During the past winter a few "Netters" and "Trawlers" from other ports, made Plymouth their home port, some bringing their families with them, for the winter.
By paying $10.00 per month to the town, they were enabled to have the same rights and privileges of the Town Wharf, as the local fishermen have.
The one "Netter" who arrived here, intending to stay through the winter, has departed for Cape Cod canal, where there is an open harbor.
Respectfully submitted,
ORIN C. BARTLETT,
Harbor Master.
