Medical expenses were particularly heavy in 1949, partly because all hospitals have substantially raised their rates, and the Commissioner of Veterans' Services of the Commonwealth has raised the daily rate which the local Departments are to pay for cases requiring hospital- ization. Every effort is made to obtain hospitalization in veterans' hospitals for those eligible for it, and the De- partment has paid several ambulance bills in this past year to rush veterans to such hospitals rather than have local hospitalization at the expense of the Town. How- ever, dependents of veterans are not eligible for admis- sion into veterans' hospitals.
-139-
In non-relief services to veterans, the Department found its contacts somewhat increased as a result of the announcement of the National Service Life Insurance dividend. Veterans were interested not only in the divi- dend itself, but in reinstating, increasing, or converting their insurance, which now appeared to be a better bar- gain than ever before. The Department is equipped to aid in any phase of the insurance program.
Comparison with other towns has shown that Ply- mouth, with 1,400 discharges recorded out of a possible 1,800, had a far better standing in that regard than most communities. However, it is the goal of the Department to have every Plymouth veteran's discharge on record, since it is a document as necessary for the veterans fut- ure benefits as a birth or marriage record may be.

REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT FOR 1949
Parks and Gardens:
All parks and gardens have been kept neat and clean during the year. Due to the hot, dry season the lawns have been burned badly, but are now showing marked improve- ment, and we hope that not too much permanent damage has been done. The banking around the monument at the Training Green has been re-sodded, and shrubs have been placed at each corner of the base. Town Brook and the fish pond at Brewster Garden have been thoroughly cleaned.
At Morton Park the road-way from the Summer Street entrance to the boundary on the North side of the pond has been hard surfaced; the work being done by the High- way Department. Considerable brush has been moved and disposed of in this area.
The picnic area has been enlarged and 18 new picnic tables and one fireplace have been added. We hope to add more next season. Morton Park has been a very busy place this year, especially on week-ends when a very con- servative estimate of 2 or 3 thousand people have gathered here for bathing and picnics. Two near drown- ings occurred at this place making it necessary for a life- guard to be put on duty when the care-taker thought it necessary. There were 3 woods fires at Morton Park this year, and the weather being so hot and dry, it required a great deal of patroling.
Playgrounds:
The playgrounds have been kept in the best possible condition considering the hot, dry season. The children's
-143-
playground equipment has been kept in a reasonably safe condition. Due to emergencies arising the playgrounds have had to get along without many much needed things. The Band Stand at Veterans' Field needs repairing and painting. The new playground at Manomet has been quite popular especially in the evening. A ball diamond has been laid out, and a back stop erected. A basketball court, swings, see-saws, slide and baseball equipment have been provided. At the Standish Avenue Playground a chain link fence has been erected on the Southerly and Westerly boundries. A fence is needed along Liberty Street to keep children from running into the roadway.
At Stephen's Field the two avenues have been hard surfaced; the work being done by the Highway Depart- ment. The fence has also been straightened. The two existing clay tennis courts have been moved 15 feet nearer the water to save space, and are being lengthened.
The contract for the two hard-surfaced courts has been awarded, foundation gravel placed, and they will be graded and surfaced in early Spring. They should be en- tirely enclosed with a chain link fence in 1950.
Recreational Program:
The Summer Playground Program for 1949 was en- joyed by more than 500 children of the town who took advantage of the recreational facilities and supervised activities of the playgrounds.
The baseball league was a very popular activity. More than 150 boys of ages 8 through 16 took part in the base- ball program. Games were scheduled 4 days a week at the Standish Avenue and Stephen's playgrounds. There were 3 leagues operating ; a Senior, Junior, and Midget League. Four teams were organized in each league and special prizes were given to the winning team of each.
-144-
More than 100 children were enrolled in the regular swimming classes conducted daily at Nelson Street, Stephen's Field, and Manomet. Courses were given in the Beginners swimming, Intermediate swimming, Ad- vanced swimming and Junior and Senior Life Saving. Certificates were awarded to all who successfully passed the Red Cross Swimming Test.
Many of the younger boys and girls enrolled in Arts and Crafts classes conducted at Stephen's Field, Vet- erans' Field and Nelson Street. This included gimp work (making bracelets, laniards, and dog leashes) ; leather work (making link belts and comb cases) and shell crafts (making earrings and pins).
Tennis, badminton, softball, archery, croquet, horse shoe pitching, basketball, as well as organized games were enjoyed throughout the Summer months at the play- grounds.
Arrangements were made with the School Committee for use of the High School Gymnasium for indoor activi- ties on days of inclement weather.
Two of the outstanding events of the Summer play- ground season were the baseball trip to Braves Field and the Children's Picnic at Edaville. Both of these trips were made possible by various organizations in the town and enjoyed by approximately 275 boys and girls.
The Summer Playground Program concluded with a Playground Field Day held at Stephen's Field. The pro- gram consisted of competition in baseball, horse shoe pitching, tennis, croquet, swimming and novelty races. Prizes were awarded to the baseball league champions and winners of the various events of the day.
-145-
Bathing Beaches and Camp Sites:
The bath houses, beaches, and floats have been kept in reasonably safe condition. The bath house roof at Stephen's Field has been partially shingled and there is enough stock on hand to finish it. Nelson Street Beach, while in poor condition, has been improved. The bath house needs the side walls shingled.
The new raft built last Winter was put in use last Sum- mer at Nelson Street. The Morton Park raft was in such poor condition as to be unsafe for further use, and has been dismantled and what material that is usable will be made into picnic tables. A new and larger raft is now under construction and will be ready to launch this com- ing season. A new raft is needed at Stephen's Field and we hope one will be built next year.
At the last annual meeting the town voted to have the three buildings at Beach Park, not owned by the town, moved to a new location. As there was no appropriation made for this purpose, and upon request of the Beach Park Committee, this project has been delayed until after the annual meeting.
The Department has many recommendations for the improvement of Beach Park. They will be included in the Beach Park Committee's report and will undoubtedly be presented to the town at the next annual meeting.

NINETY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners presents its ninety-fifth Annual report, covering the year 1949. In the interest of brevity, no separate report of the Super- intendent is being printed.
RAINFALL
The total rainfall in 1949 amounted to 32.41 inches, which is about thirteen inches less than the annual aver- age. It is less than that in any year covered by the records of the Water Department.
At the end of the year the level of the surface of Great South Pond was 103.2 feet, which is as low as at any time during the year 1949. The water supply situation next summer will depend largely on the amount of rainfall during the first few months of 1950. The records indicate very definately that the ponds are expected to be at their lowest levels in the year following that of very low rain- fall, such as 1949.

Consumption
During the summer months, the use of water was very heavy, as was to be expected with the weather conditions which prevailed. The largest quantity pumped at the Lout Pond Station during any one day was 2,012,000 gallons on August 10, 1949, when the pump was running for nineteen and one-quarter (191/4) hours.
At the Manomet Station, the largest quantity pumped in any one day was 519,000 gallons on July 4, 1949, when the pump ran for about twelve (12) hours and forty- three (43) minutes.
The total pumped at Manomet was 28,316,300 gallons, compared with 15,595,000 gallons pumped in 1948.
For complete information on the consumption of water, please refer to the statistical table which follows.
Special Construction
.
Attention is directed to the program of laying and re- laying mains being carried out under the special appro- priation for this purpose.
-151-
A new main was layed on Alden Street in 1948. In 1949 the house services were changed from the old to the new main, including those on Alden Court and others not dir- ectly on the street. This involved a total of fifty-nine (59) services.
The new main has been completed on Forest Avenue and Forest Avenue Court. In the latter case there were about forty (40) families being served by an old two (2) inch galvanized pipe which had supplied very poor ser- vice and no fire protection. There were in all twenty-eight (28) services changed to the new mains on these partic- ular streets.
A new eight (8) inch main has been layed on Spooner Street and North Spooner Street, but this was not com- pleted in time to change over the services on Spooner Street. This will be done in 1950. There were seven (7) on North Spooner Street.
A new main has been completed on Castle Street, cross- connected on the easterly end with the main on Atlantic Street, involving twenty-five (25) services.
The main on Royal Street has been extended about 800 feet to connect with the main on the Westerly Route.
New hydrants have been installed on all of these new mains.
Regular Construction
A new 8" main was layed on North Park Avenue, im- proving the fire service at the Puritan Mill. This replaced an old main layed in 1888 which supplied the old shoe factory and was in very poor condition.
-152-
A 6" main was extended on Overlook Road from Over- look Terrace to end of same.
A 2" High Service connection was laid to First Nation- al Stores, Inc. for a new refrigeration plant.
Special Appropriations
A 6" main was extended on Arlington and Ocean View Roads, Priscilla Beach.
New services were connected on the new main laid in 1948 on Avenues B and C, White Horse Beach.
(A tabulation of construction appears on a fol- lowing page.)
CHLORINATION
At several times during the last few years, the Depart- ment of Public Health has recommended that our sur- face water supply from the South Ponds should be chlor- inated as a precaution against possible contamination. This opinion was endorsed by Metcalf and Eddy in their report of the survey of the Water Department in 1945. Last summer, the Department of Public Health again made this recommendation and with greater emphasis. At our request, Mr. Arthur D. Weston, then Chief of the Division of Sanitary Engineering and Mr. E. Sherman Chase of the firm of Metcalf and Eddy, met with the Board to consider this problem. Both of these men have had long experience with public water supply systems. They urged very strongly that the Town should no longer delay taking the steps necessary to properly treat our surface water supply. Their position briefly stated, was that the possibility of pollution was. always present in surface water as distinguished from a deep well supply, and that Plymouth should Chlorinate.its supply as a pre-
-153-
cautionary measure. In a matter so important to the pub- lic health, we should give careful heed to the advise of those men so well qualified to know what should be done. The possible alternative to chlorination is the condemna- tion of our surface water supply.
Accordingly, the Water Commissioners have had a sur- vey made and plans and estimates prepared covering the cost of the equipment recommended and its installation. We are asking the Town for an appropriation of $7,500.00 for this purpose.

ASSESSORS' REPORT
The Board of Assessors are continuing the program of re-assessing all taxable property in the town which was inaugurated in 1948. Continuance of this resulted in a decrease in your 1949 Tax Rate of Eighty Cents.
The office records are also being gradually brought up to date. However, there is still considerable effort to be expended along this line for some time to come.
Considerable progress has been made for the year and with continued cooperation from Town Officials and the General Public the year 1950 may be as productive for the Tax Payers of the Town of Plymouth.
