BONDED DEBT
On January 1, 1937, the bonded debt of the Water Department was $50,000.00. During the year 1937 there will be paid $10,000.00 on the principal of this debt and $2,000.00 interest.
REVENUE
The total revenue of the department collected during 1936 was $45,316.59 divided as follows: Plymouth System $40,994.37
Manomet System
4,322.22
$45.316.59
MANOMET
No pipe extensions were made on the Manomet system during 1936 but one new hydrant was added at the june- tion of the State Highway and Cape Cod Avenue.
-94-
PLYMOUTH SYSTEM
The following pipe has been laid during the year: 380 ft. of 4-in. extended on Russell Avenue. 306 ft. of 6-in. extended on Lincoln Street. 690 ft. of 6-in. extended on Towns Street, be- tween Stafford and South Streets.
1,397 ft. of 8-in. extended on Stafford Street, be- tween South and Towns Streets.
NEW WORK
For new work during 1937, we recommend 400 ft. of 6-in. on North Park Avenue and 1,450 ft. of 8-in. on Samoset Street, between Court and Oak Streets, 400 ft. of 6-in. on Brook Road in Manomet.
PUMPING STATION
During the past year, the Commissioners have been studying the desirability of installing a new pumping unit at the Lout Pond pumping station.
The present installation consists of one Worthington pump, installed in 1880, with a rated capacity of 1,500,- 000 gallons in 24 hours, and a Barr pump, installed in 1903, with a rated capacity of 2,000,000 gallons in 24 hours. Steam to operate these pumps at 75 lbs. pressure furnished by two horizontal tubular steam boilers, one installed in 1899 and one in 1903.
In case of serious accident to the boilers, both pumps would be out of commission until necessary repairs could be made.
Your 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, which ever, upon further study shall appear most eco- nomical to install. If and when this installation is made, both steam boilers and the Barr pump would be properly cared for and could be retained and used as a standby unit.
-95-
We, therefore, recommend for the year 1937 an appro- priation of $26,000.00 for Maintenance, $9,000.00 for proposed changes at the pumping station and $4,000.00 for Construction on Samoset Street and North Park Avenue.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Water Commissioners
Gentlemen :
In accordance with the custom of the department, I submit herewith the annual report of the Superintendent of the Plymouth Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1936.
During the year 1936, there was 2,809 ft. of pipe laid. 380 ft. of this was 4-in. extended on Russell Avenue, 306 ft. of 6-in. on Lincoln Street, where one additional hy- drant was set, 361/2 ft. of 6-in. at Cape Cod Avenue where a hydrant was set, at the junction with the State High- way, 690 ft. of 6-in. on Towns Street, replacing 4-in., and 1,397 ft. of 8-in. on Stafford Street (between South and Towns Street.) replacing 4-in., two new hydrants being set here, one of which replaces and old one. The Stafford Street renewal recommended in last year's report was not completed during 1936 but will be continued in 1937.
Considerable pipe was lowered during the year, to pre- vent freezing, in various parts of the town, some 2,700 ft.
POND HEIGHTS AND STORAGE
Plate 1 shows, graphically, the usual data presented annually with reference to rainfall, pond heights and storage volume in Great and Little South Ponds.
The total rainfall for 1936 was 58.97 in., which is 12.84 in. above the average rainfall of 46.13 in. over a period of forty-nine years. This increased rainfall during the past year has caused an increase in pond storage from 755 million gallons on January 1, 1936 to 930 million gal- lons on January 1, 1937.
-100-
HYDRANTS AND GATES
The usual inspection of hydrants and gates was car- ried on during the year with the result that all are in excellent condition. All hydrants were painted.
ANALYSIS OF WATER
Samples of water from our source of supply were for- warded as usual, at various times of the year, to the State Department of Health and analysis made, reports on which are filed in the office of the Superintendent.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR E. BLACKMER, Superintendent

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Citizens of the Town of Plymouth:
In making up the report of the Board of Public Wel- fare for the year 1936, we find by our usual method of comparison that both the case load and expense figures are materially lower than those of 1935. The total cost of the general aid, including the Infirmary and Mothers' Aid, amounted to $73,282.50 as compared with the 1935 figure of $85,030.28.
On November 16, 1936, a Bureau of Old Age Assist- ance was organized and all matters pertaining to this class of assistance have been handled in a separate office by this Bureau. A separate report from this Division will follow this general Welfare Report. This notice is made to explain this omission of all Old Age figures that usually appear with this report.
The number of cases handled by this Department dur- ing the year just passed are as follows :
Temporary Aid Cases 454
Mothers' Aid Cases 13
Plymouth Cases residing
in other towns 39
506
The number of persons aided during the year repre- sented by the above cases was 1657. The peak or period of greatest assistance came during the month of January when the total case load was 333, representing 1212 people.

INFIRMARY
Mr. and Mrs. Russell L. Dickson, Superintendent and Matron, have now completed their thirtieth year of able management of this Department.
The Infirmary gardens have been worked by Mr. Dick- son with Welfare labor and fresh vegetables, as well as the canned fruits and garden products have supplied the tables. The kitchen has prepared and preserved 255 quarts of fruits and vegetables, 106 jars of jellies and 33 quarts of grape juice.
The income from the Julia P. Robinson fund has been used in the same thoughtful manner for the benefit of the inmates.

MOTHERS WITH DEPENDENTS
The title of the Mothers' Aid Law as amended by Chapter 413 of the Acts of 1936 is "Aid to Dependent Children." The law as amended extends the scope of the Mothers' Aid Law to include dependent children under the age of sixteen years who are living with relatives other than their own mothers.
The law as amended also conforms to the Social Secur- ity Act under which grants for aid from the Federal Government are available to Cities and Towns through the Commonwealth.
