NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

OF THE
Town of Plymouth Massachusetts

FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31
1952

NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners presents its Ninety- Eighth Annual Report covering the year 1952.
The total rainfall during the year amounted to 45.79 inches. This is about an average total amount but the precipitation was very small during some months.
The elevation of the water in Great South Pond at the end of each of the last five years has been as follows:
1948 104.55 1951 102.25
1949
103.20
1952 102.80
1950
102.25
A full pond is considered elevation 106.00 which has not been reached since 1941.
The greatest amount of water pumped at the Lout Pond Station in any one day was 2,057,000 gallons, on July 16, 1952, when pumps operated 201/4 hours. The tabulation of the pumping at this station and the Deep Water and Manomet Stations appears on a following page.
The total pumped at Manomet was 32,721,700 gallons, which was a large increase over the total of 19,870,000 gallons pumped in 1951. The greatest amount pumped in any one day was 741,100 gallons, on July 15, 1952.
The amounts received by the Town from the sale of water, connections to new mains, services rendered, etc., were as follows:

New Ground Water Supply
We, again, ask the Town for funds to develop a new supply of ground water at the location near Lout Pond as referred to in our report of 1951.
The experience of the last few years, and the low level of the ponds which have been reached, furnish ample evidence that an additional supply is urgently needed.
The appropriation requested is for the construction of the well, with the necessary small observation wells, pumping tests, engineering services, etc.
If the well meets our requirements and those of the Department of Public Health, a further appropriation will be asked for in 1954 to provide for the necessary pump, pipes, controls, etc., to place the well in service.
In times of extremely dry, hot weather, the pumps at the Lout Pond Station take the full flow of the water in the supply mains from Little South Pond and there is little or no flow through the Low Service System. When the pond level falls to that which has been reached in several recent years, the flow to the pumps is not suf- ficient to permit them to operate at capacity. This means that the rate of pumping must be reduced at the time when the demand for water is the greatest.
Service to the High Area - Standish Avenue.
Several of our recent reports have mentioned the diffi- culties of supplying water at a satisfactory pressure to the high section of Standish Avenue, north of Alden Street, and to the high area to the west on streets which are not now served by our Extra High Service.
Water takers in this area have very poor water pressure and get little or no water during the times of heavy con-
-236-
sumption. The situation for these people is really serious. The solution which we recommend is the extension of the Extra High Service System in order that it may serve the area described. This necessitates a new main in Standish Avenue, north of Alden Street, some extensions on side streets and changing connections of some mains and serv- ices from the High Service to the new Extra High Service. This program also necessitates a new and larger tank for this system, with a capacity of 500,000 gallons or there- abouts, as the present tank on the westerly route is too small to adequately serve and provide fire protection for the water takers on this system and the considerable number which should be changed over to it. The water consumption on this system has doubled within the last ten years.
It is not expected that any increase in the pumping equipment at the Deep Water Station, which serves this system, will be required, as the electric pumps which have been installed in recent years should provide all the supply needed if adequate storage is provided.
The estimated cost of this extension of the Extra High Service System and the construction of the tank is $100,- 000.00, an appropriation for which is being requested. The appropriation for the purchase of the land on which to construct the tank is called for in a separate article.

The following three articles are for the pur- chase of land near Wanno's Pond, Mano- met, for the further protection of the water supply:
Ralph E. Brooks, Lots Nos. 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and part of Brooks Lane 2,600.00
Roman Catholic Archbishop, about 0.7 acre, which is a narrow strip of land near the Man- omet Pumping Station which includes part of the right of way in which the supply main to the Manomet tank is located
Porter T. Harlow - Part of Lot No. 47, on Wanno's Pond. Mr. Harlow has generously agreed to release this land to the Town.
350.00
1.00
These purchases include a large part of the land which the Department of Public Health recommends should be acquired by the Town. The Commissioners are pleased to have been able to come to agreement with the respective owners at prices considered reasonable.
-238- .
Construction in New Developments:
Appropriations contingent upon the payment by the owner or owners of Three Dollars ($3.00) per linear foot of main before construction is undertaken.
Porter T. Harlow, et al - About 1,430 ft. 6" main off Point Road, Manomet 6,144.00
Anthony DiStaula - About 930 ft. 6" main off State Road, Manomet 3,801.50
Enrico Ferrari - About 900 ft. 8" main off Sandwich Road 4,745.00
Cape Cod Ave., Reed Ave., etc. 32,500.00
This article has been included in the warrant for several years, but the streets involved have never been accepted by the Town. The appro- priation should be contingent upon such accept- ance. It is not considered a new develop- ment and there are now about 75 potential customers in the area.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD R. BELCHER, Chairman RICHARD T. ELDRIDGE, Secretary DANIEL F. MULCAHY ARTHUR ADDYMAN PETER R. BILLEY Board of Water Commissioners.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE FOR THE YEAR 1952
The members of the Board of Public Welfare on Janu- ary 1, 1952, were Harold G. Roberts, Chairman, Gordon S. McCosh, Dexter M. Brooks, Margaret E. McLean, and John J. Magee.
At the Annual Town Election held on March 1, 1952, John J. Magee was again elected a member of the Board of Public Welfare for a term of three years. Paul L. LaForest was elected a member of the Board of Public Welfare for a term of three years.
At the organization meeting of the Board of Public Welfare held on March 4, 1952, Mrs. Margaret E. McLean was elected Chairman of the Board.
The Board of Public Welfare, as Directors of the Town Infirmary, appointed for the 46th consecutive year Mr. Russell L. Dickson, Superintendent, and Sarah A. Dickson, Matron, of the Plymouth Town Infirmary.
The Administration of Public Assistance during the past year has demanded from your Board much deliberation and the constantly increasing cost of medical attention to the recipients has caused considerable concern.
The many changes in the Laws, Rules and Regulations, during the year, which govern the administration of assistance in the several categories of Public Assistance, have required a considerable amount of administrative and clerical time to put the changes into effect. The changes have had, in the most part, the tendency to increase the overall cost both in Administration and in the grants to the needy.

Effective on May 1, 1952, following the approval of the Governor and the Executive Council, new and increased fee schedules for dental services were established. The new and revised rates increased substantially the dental costs to the relief program.
One of the 1952 amendments to the Social Security Act provided for increased Federal participation in assistance payments and on October 1, 1952, a new formula was introduced for preparing payrolls for claiming the in- creased Federal reimbursements for Old Age, Aid to Dependent Children and Disability Assistance.
1 Chapter 342 of the General Laws, Acts of 1952, which became effective on August 14th, 1952, provided for in- creased participation by the Commonwealth in tonsil and adenoid operations.
Title IV of the Social Security Act was amended, ef- fective July 1, 1952, and provided that in Aid to Dependent Children prompt notice be given to appropriate law- enforcement officials in respect of a child who has been deserted or abandoned by a parent.
Chapter 801 of the Acts of 1951 provided for several changes in Old Age Assistance effective January 1, 1953:
(1) Provisions to the effect that the Department shall from time to time increase the budgetary requirements to maintain adequate Standards of Assistance.
(2) Provisions for legal minimum rates of $75 plus leisure time activity allowance for persons who live out- side of a family group, and $55 plus leisure time activity allowance for persons who live in a family group.
(3) An increase of $500 per annum in the statutory exemptions for children.
(4) Provisions that the city or town have a lien against the property of any applicant or recipient of Old Age
-247-
Assistance, said lien to be filed in the appropriate registry of deeds or registry district of the land court.
(5) A provision eliminating the present requirement under which the full cost of the $4.00 monthly leisure time activity item is reimbursed by the Commonwealth.
In accordance with the new law the Department also increased board rates, rental rates, and nursing, boarding and convalescent home rates, and in the category of Aid to Dependent Children the rental rates were increased.
