present time, regardless of any change in town meetings. Under precinct voting separate polling places will be es- tablished in the different sections of the town for the greater convenience of the voters and to prevent the con- gestion which sometimes occurs with the voting entirely at one place. Your Committee is of the opinion that this division into precincts should be placed in charge of the selectmen and the Board of Registration. Acting jointly in this capacity they will be known as the Districting Board.
The Committee also recommends that the number of precincts'should be not less than five or more than eight. This leaves the arrangement somewhat flexible and at the same time ensures a sufficiently large number of pre- cincts to give representative divisions.
The number of elected town meeting members should be based on the number of registered voters in each pre- cinct. One elected member for each forty voters would result in a total elected membership of about 156 which we consider a reasonable and workable number.
In addition to the elected membership each reprsenta- tive town meeting includes certain members by virtue of their office. We recommend that the following should be members ex-officio, or members at large:
Any member of the general court of the Common- wealth who is a registered voter of the town.
The selectmen
The town treasurer.
The town clerk.
The town council.
The town moderator.
The collector of taxes.
The town accountant.
One member of each of the following boards to be designated by the respective board:
School Committee.
Board of Health.
Park Commissioners.
Water Commissioners.
-133-
Planning Board. Board of Assessors. Welfare Board.
Cemetery Commissioners. Board of Registration.
Three members of the Finance Committee to be desig- nated by said Committee.
The act should also specify that other town meeting members at large may be provided for by the by-laws of the town and authority to adopt such by-laws conferred.
Your Committee recommends that a majority of the total membership of the representative town meeting should constitute a quorum.
Most of the acts provide that the town moderator be elected by ballot at the regular town election and we believe the town should adopt such a procedure.
Apparently the uniform practice is to require the signatures of ten registered voters on the nomination papers for every candidate for election as a town meeting member. No political designation is permitted.
Every act establishing a representative form of gov- ernment provides for a referendum on the acts of the representative town meeting, with certain limitations. We recommend that the general provisions of the Stand- ard Form be adopted, except that the limitation of twen- ty thousand dollars as a special appropriation be reduced to ten thousand dollars and that the signatures of 5% of the registered voters be required on a petition for a referendum. In our judgment the action of the repre- sentative body should not be subject to review unless at least five per cent of the voters so petition. We also recommend that no action of the representative town meeting be reversed unless at least twenty per cent of the voters shall so vote.
Every act establishing this form of town government provides that any voter may address the meeting, al- though only town meeting members may vote. Because of this provision no registered voter can be deprived of the privilege of speaking in town meeting.
-134-
Procedure Required to Change to Representative Town Government.
The first step in securing representative town govern- ment would be for the town to vote to instruct the select- men to petition the Legislature for an act establishing in the Town of Plymouth a form of representative town government with limited town meetings. Your Commit- tee has requested the selectmen to insert an article in the warrant for the annual meeting to be held in March 1937 to see if the town will take such action.
If the town votes favorably upon this article the next step would be the drafting of the special act to be filed by Plymouth's Representative in the General Court. This act would provide for its submission to the regis- tered voters of the town for acceptance, probably at the next annual town election after the passage of the act.
The third step would be the actual voting upon the acceptance of the act on the official ballot at the town election. There is, therefore, ample time for careful con- sideration of this subject, as in any case it could not come before the town for acceptance before the election in March 1938.

To the Citizens of the Town of Plymouth :
The Board of Health herewith presents its annual re- port together with the reports of its various appointees, for the year ending December 31, 1936.
The report of our appointees show the work has been carried on in its usual manner.
In July the Massachusetts Department of Public Health made a special study of the Tuberculosis cases in Plym- outh, and held a clinic at the Board of Health Dispensary.
There were 24 cases examined and X-rayed on Study, and ten other cases who were examined by Special Re- quest. Of the 24 cases five of the Pulmonary group were placed on the Active List and one of the Hilum group. The rest of these cases were placed on the Inactive List. Out of the 10 Special Request cases, 7 had negative X- rays; 3 were recommended for further observation.
There also, have been 44 contacts examined and X- rayed at Plymouth County Hospital through the Board of Health Office.
-137-
Under supervision of the Health Physician Dr. Wil- liam E. Curtin, there were two clinics held for the im- munization against diphtheria. There were 123 children under school age immunized. Age from 6 months to 6 years.
For the past two years Plymouth has had no diph- theria. There were 311 cases of diphtheria in Massachu- setts last year the lowest number ever recorded.
In the winter of 1929 and 1930 a child died every 36 hours from diphtheria in Massachusetts while, at the present death rate a child dies of diphtheria every other week.
We therefore urge parents to have their children im- munized and stamp out diphtheria.
During the year there were 67 cases of scarlet fever reported, out of that number 34 were admitted to the Jordan Hospital as Board of Health cases.
The services of practical nurses under a W. P. A. pro- ject has continued through out the year under the super- vision of the Community Nurse Association, Inc.
Collection of garbage has been very satisfactory car- ried on, having very few complaints, however, all com- plaints are investigated at once and corrections made.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS F. KILKELLY, D. M. D., Chairman
ANDREW J. CARR, Secretary, HERBERT S. MAXWELL

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 1936.
It is with considerable satisfaction to be able to state that the high standing of efficiency is still being main- tained, and that the fire records of 1936 are something that every citizen should feel proud of.
While we had two hundred and ninety-two calls, sixty- five less than last year, while the value of buildings and contents involved being $765,237.00, the fire loss was but $19,632.18 which is about 2.08% and based on 13,000 in- habitants 1.516 per person.
This continued excellent record certainly intitles the department to the continued loyal support of your Honor- able Board and the citizens of the Town.
PERSONNEL
The excellent spirit of co-operation by every man in the department, both permanent and call, continues to exist as shown by examination of attendance at fires, records which show over 96%.
BUILDINGS
Both the Central and North Station are in good condi- tion.
LADDER TRUCK
The time has now arrived when more serious considera- tion should be given to the purchase of a ladder truck. You will recall that this subject has repeatedly been men- tioned in previous reports.
-145-
The present truck has been in service twenty years and if placed in reserve to answer second alarms, would undoubtedly be good for ten or more years, barring acci- dents.
It is your Commissioner's intent to request that an article to be submitted for the Warrant of Annual Meet- ing, will meet with your approval.
FIRE ALARM
The Fire Alarm System outside lines are in good con- dition with exception of about two miles of iron wire, which will have to be replaced during the year 1937.
As previously stated to your Honorable Board and the Finance and Advisory Committee arrangements with the State Department of Conservation for installation of two way radio have been completed, the Fire Department erecting the radio mast and State Department installing the Station set, which has already proved its worth, and undoubtedly will materially assist in reducing losses and enable the Fire Department to operate more efficiently.
Housed in Central Station
Engine No. 1-750 gallon pump, 1500 ft. of 21/2 in. hose in good condition.
Engine No. 2-500 gallon pump, 1000 ft. of 21/2 in. hose, 100 gallon booster tank, 250 ft. of 3/4 in. booster hose in good condition.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1936
The W. P. A. Project of grading, in Vine Hills Ceme- tery, was completed in the early part of the year and the area seeded down, making about fifty new lots.
We are grading some more lots on the Samoset Street side of Vine Hills Cemetery with labor from the Welfare Department. This will give us enough additional lots for the immediate future.
At Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries we believe the time has come to do some more permanent surfacing on the principal avenues. If a moderate amount of the work can be done each year, the yearly expenditure will not be burdensome, and the saving in maintenance in the future will be considerable. We recommend an appro- priation of five hundred dollars for this work for the coming year.
In view of the historical importance of Burial Hill and the increasing number of people coming every year, we feel that the town should do a little more there than we have done the past few years. We are recommending an increase of three hundred dollars in the appropriation which we propose to use to cut the grass in the fall and to have the caretaker on duty until later in the season than has been the custom.
Two hundred and twenty-five dollars was spent in cov- ering some of the older headstones on Burial Hill and we have about one hundred dollars left to continue this work.
Land has been acquired for an addition to the Chilton-
-151-
ville Cemetery thus assuring lots for that vicinity for a considerable number of years.
Twenty new Trust Funds totaling $3,175.00 have been established the past year. A complete list of all Trust Funds, as well as the financial report of all receipts and expenditures of the department, will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.
We recommend the following appropriations for 1937:
Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries- Maintenance $10,000.00
Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries- Surfacing Avenue 500.00
Burial Hill-Maintenance 1,500.00
Outlying Cemeteries 800.00

RICHARD T. ELDRIDGE,
ARTHUR E. BLACKMER, EDWARD R. BELCHER,
