REPORT OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL COMMITTEE TOWN OF PLYMOUTH
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On December 30, 1958 the former Deputy Commissioner of Public Health, Clarence I. Sterling, Jr. wrote to the town Selectmen informing them that the disposal of untreated sewage into Plymouth harbor is "a nuisance and a danger to public health." He further stated that it is against the rules and regulations adopted by the State Department of Public Health. He recommended, at that time, that an article be in- serted into the 1959 town warrant to retain a consulting en- gineer to review and bring up to date existing plans for sewage disposal by the Town of Plymouth.
Accordingly, article 54 was placed in the 1959 town war- rant and then an amended article was voted by the town meeting authorizing the Moderator to appoint a committee of seven to conduct a review of the 1950 Metcalf & Eddy Report. A sum of $1500 was appropriated to defray the engineering expenses relative to the review.
The town moderator appointed Anthony Caramello, Ray- mond Miskelly, Howard P. Barnes, Everett Malaguti, William Harrington, John A. Thom, and John E. Gilmore, to the com- mittee and conducted the first meeting. Three of the members. Howard P. Barnes, Anthony Caramello and Everett Malaguti served on the previous Sewage Committee of 1950.
The committee organized itself and elected Dr. John E. Gilmore chairman and Raymond Miskelly secretary.
The committee familiarized itself with the problem and then interviewed Mr. Worthan Taylor, Chief Sanitary En- gineer of the State Department of Public Health. Mr. Taylor reviewed his predecessor's findings and in a letter of January 25, 1960 to your committee informed us that the discharge of improperly treated sewage into Plymouth harbor is in viola- tion of Section 5, Article 111 of the General Laws. Mr. Taylor has been cooperative with your committee and has offered the facilities of his department to aid us in our review.
Your committee has received proposals from two very eminent sanitary engineers formulating a scientific review of our problem and is in the process of accepting one of these proposals. Both proposals are within our established budget.
-20-
The committee has also contacted the town sewer depart- ment personnel and made field trips to the sewer outfalls. We are now completing phase one of our project and are ex- pecting to move into the second phase of scientific investiga- tion soon.
To the best of our knowledge, the State Department of Public Health personnel are cognizant of our activity and are content with our progress.
Therefore, the committee requests that the 1960 town meeting accept this as an interim report and continue its existence so that our objective may be completed. We do not request any further funds over and above the original appro- priation, at this time.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. GILMORE, Chairman.
Article 4. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Town Treasurer with the approval of the Selectmen to bor- row money from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning January 1, 1961 and to issue a note or notes therefor payable within one year and to re- new any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than one year in accordance with Section 17, Chapter 44, General Laws.
Voted: That the Town authorize the Town Treasurer, with the approval of the Selectmen, to borrow money from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning January 1, 1961 and to issue a note or notes therefor payable within one year and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than one year in accordance with Section 17, Chapter 44, General Laws.
Article 5. To see if the Town will vote to amend the Wage and Salary Classification By-law in accordance with the recommendations of the Personnel Board presently filed with the records of said Board.
The Finance Committee has included at the end of this report the recommendation of the Selectmen under this article, which proposes a substitute Exhibit B for the Ex- hibit B recommended by the Personnel Board and Finance Committee.
-21-
