BONDED DEBT
During the year 1937, there was $10,000.00 paid on the Bonded Debt of the Water Department. The payment reduced the debt from $50,000.00 January 1, 1937, to $40,000.00 January 1, 1938. The Interest paid on this during the year 1937 was $2,000.00.
REVENUE
The total revenue collected by the Water Department during 1937 was $46,246.39, divided as follows: Plymouth System $41,194.02 Manomet System 5,052.37
$46,246.39
PUMPING STATION CHANGES
In the 1936 report of the Water Commissioners ap- pears the following paragraph :
"You Board is of the unanimous opinion that during the coming year a new pumping unit should be installed, driven either by a Diesel Engine or an electric motor, whichever upon further study shall appear most economical to install."
Acting upon the recommendation of the Water Com- missioners, the Town appropriated $9,000.00, at the reg- ular Town Meeting in March of 1937, for the purchase and installation of a new pumping unit and to cover the cost of necessary changes in pump foundation and suc- tion and discharge connections.
Your Board sent a letter to eight Diesel Engine Man- ufacturers and the Plymouth County Electric Co., out- lining the conditions under which the new unit would have to work.
After reviewing the proposals submitted, the one of- fered by the Wolverine Motor Works, Inc., of Bridge- port, Conn., for a 2 Cylinder, 4 Cycle Wolverine 400 RPM.,
-90-
connected by a Falk Gear Increasing unit to a Goulds Centrifugal Pump, with a capacity of 1,660 g.p.m., at a speed of 1750 RPM., was accepted. The price installed on foundation prepared by the Town was $5,500.00.
The old Worthington Pump was removed and neces- sary changes made in the foundation to fit the new unit.
The engine was started December 15, 1937, and has been operating nearly every day since. The old Barr Pump will be operated once each week during 1938 to ensure keeping it in good condition as a reliable standby unit.
Records of the first month of operation indicate that the fuel cost per million gallons of water pumped with the Diesel unit will not be more than 40% of the fuel cost per million gallons of operating the Barr Pump.
During the year 1937, 9,953 feet of pipe was laid, as reference to the table in the report of the Superintendent will show, the location, size and length being specified. 5,904 feet of this pipe was in Manomet and 4,049 feet in the down town section of Plymouth. Two of the Mano- met jobs, viz: 3,140 feet of pipe on Taylor Avenue, and 1,220 feet on the State Highway (a total of 4,360 feet) were W. P. A. Projects. The cost of all the material on these W. P. A. Projects and all labor except supervision was paid for from W. P. A. funds and has no connec- tion with the regular construction of the Water Depart- ment.
Requests will, undoubtedly, be made from time to time in the future for further extensions to the Mano- met System and your Board feels that it is desirable to grant such requests when a satisfactory return to the Town can be shown and if funds are available for such extensions.
At this writing, the Board has already received re- quests for main extensions on two streets, one at Pris- cilla Beach and the other at White Horse.
-- 91-
The rupture of a section of the old 10-inch low service main in Lanman's orchard occurred in October, 1937, and in the opinion of your Board this section should be relaid during 1938, and a 6-inch service line on Russell Street, between Court Street and Summer Street, laid in 1885, should (in part, at least) be replaced during the year with 8-inch pipe.
We recommend an appropriation of $26,000.00 for Maintenance for 1938, and $9,000.00 for Construction.

the 4,049 feet laid in the down town section, only 1,080 feet was new extension, and 2,969 feet was replacement.
The Taylor Avenue 8" and the State Highway 6" were laid as W. P. A. Projects.
GRAVITY MAIN BETWEEN STODDARD STREET AND RESERVOIR
A new 10" main of Transite Pipe was laid on Russell Street and along Stoddard Street to a gate in Lanman's orchard. After this work was completed there still re- mained about 600 feet of old 10" between this gate and the low service reservoir on Allerton Street.
When the original 10" pipe was laid in 1855, no shut off valve was installed at the point where this pipe en- tered the reservoir. In 1937, a break occurred in this old line and in order to repair it a temporary plug was placed over the end of the 10" in the reservoir. This accident indicated the necessity of setting a 10" gate on Allerton Street at the reservoir outlet and this was, ac- cordingly, done. The 10" pipe was twenty-two and one- half feet deep at the point where the new gate was set, making the job necessarily an expensive one and when the work is complete a brick manhole will be built to give access to the gate. The cost of this job to date has been $932.55.
The Finance Committee, by request, allotted $900.00 from the Reserve Fund to cover the major part of the cost of this work.
STANDPIPES
In March, 1937, the 50,000 gallon steel standpipe near Buckingham's was emptied and given a coat of red lead on the inside and aluminum paint on the outside, also the standpipes at Cherry Street, Pine Hills and Warren Ave- nue, near Stone's were each given one coat of aluminum paint outside.
The approximate cost of the above work was $214.55.

It will be necessary to paint the 50,000 gallon tank at the Porter Harlow's, Manomet, both inside and outside, during the coming year.
CONSUMPTION
The total consumption for the year 1937 was 442,- 460,000 gallons, of which 128,882,000 gallons or 29% was on the gravity or low service system, and 313,585,000 or 71% on the pumping or high service system.
