ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The duly elected Planning Board continued to func- tion during the calendar year of 1960 in accordance with the vote of the Town, passed March 26, 1949.
The Board held its regular meetings on the first and third Mondays of the month throughout the year and also many special meetings, with an attendance average of 95%.
Seven plans for subdivision of land into a total of 90 lots were signed by the Board during the year. Four plans with a total of 441 lots were still pending as of January 1, 1961. In addition 48 plans involving 82 lots, claimed ap- proval not required, were submitted. All met the neces- sary requirements and were endorsed.
Again this year the Planning Board has submitted an amendment to substitute a revised Zoning By-law for the present By-law to be included in the Warrant for the 1960 Annual Town Meeting .. Numerous meetings were held with the original Study Committee, the Development & Industrial Commission, and others. After careful consider- ation, certain changes were made to the By-law which was presented last year. All to be presented at a Public Hearing prior to Town Meeting, as prescribed by law. Special meetings throughout the year were also held with Mr. Brewster Fuller, representing Whitman & Howard, who had been hired to bring the Plymouth Compact of 1949 up to date in accordance with the Federal require- ments for the Urban Redevelopment Program. This work, which includes recommendations for many major com-
-363-
munity improvements, has been completed and copies of the Plymouth Compact of 1961 will be available for public distribution.

REPORT OF PLYMOUTH HOUSING AUTHORITY
There continues to be a waiting list of applicants for houses at the Veterans Housing Project.
The charges and limitations remain the same as re- ported in the Annual Report of a year ago.
Two major improvements made this past year were the installation of playground equipment and the replacing of clapboards with shingles on three of the buildings.
The Tenth Anniversary was observed with an article and pictures in the Old Colony Memorial, which met with great favor.
In response to the requests for housing of the elderly, the question of building such a project has been placed in the 1961 Town Warrant. If approved by the Town, the Housing Authority is prepared to set in motion the neces- sary steps for its development.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT
The Plymouth Park department experienced a most successful and progressive year during 1960 having ac- complished much at a nominal cost to the town and with- out any projected capital outlay.
The department operated throughout the year on a near $69,000 budget of which some $30,000 was for salaries, exclusive of labor. To substantiate such a salary spending we are mindful that the department employs nine all-year- round help and that for ten (10) weeks of the year the de- partment has an added staff of twenty-eight employees.
Total cash receipts of the Park Department during the year 1960 were $21,408.09 of which fact the Department re- minds the townspeople that inasmuch as such receipts are wholly from out-of-Plymouth people and that such amounts are deposited in the town treasury (excess & de- ficiency), it can reasonably be assumed that one-third of Plymouth park costs are borne by the non-resident of the town, - and that actually the town's 16 parks, 8 play- grounds, 5 bathing beaches and 2 camp sites are operated at an annual town cost of but some $40,000.
BRIEFLY:
Parks:
The old electric power house building on Water street was demolished and considerable landscaping started at Brewster Gardens; a fence was placed around this new property acquisition; the damaged wall in Town Brook was repaired; a road was widened in Morton Park; a park- ing lot was developed in Morton park; three new fire places were constructed in Morton Park; a new swim- ming raft was built for Morton Park.
-365-
Bathing Beaches:
A new raft was made for Nelson street beach; storm damage was repaired at all beaches; rip-rap was placed in front of the seawall at Nelson street; the parking area for boat trailers at the north portion of Nelson street was com- pleted.
Playgrounds:
The summer playground program at Stephens field, John A. Siever Memorial Field and Veteran's field record- ed a total of 6,750 boys and girls throughout the nine week period. A total of 108 took part in the organized baseball, 30 boys in basketball, 70 girls and boys in the arts and crafts classes, 20 girls in archery classes, 25 boys in the 1,000 point contests and some 200 boys and girls attended the annual baseball trip to Fenway park and the Boston Red Sox; a new backstop and chain link fence was erected at Stephens field; tennis courts and outdoor basketball courts were sealed at Stephens field, Summer Street and Veterans field; the parking area was increased at the Sie- ver field; and a new flag pole was put up at Veteran's field.

REPORT OF ADVISORY AND FINANCE COMMITTEE FOR 1960
Your Advisory and Finance Committee has carefully considered the budgets of the several departments and offi- ces of the Town, as well as the special articles set forth in the warrant, and is pleased to submit its recommendations for your consideration.
Having in mind that, in addition to town taxes, the in- creasing national, state and county taxes also are ultimately reflected in your pocketbooks, the recommendations of your Committee, which are the result of its collective judgment, provide for salaries and wages which it believes fair to the employees of the Town and to the residents who pay them and for adequate maintenance and improvement of the Town's plant and physical property. Also we have recom- mended purchases of new equipment, vehicles, machines and other items which will improve the operating efficiency and the service rendered by the departments and offices and fur- nish the Town in general with facilities which will benefit the needs of its residents as well as make it attractive to visitors.
When one considers that the Town of Plymouth is 109 square miles in area, upon much of which low taxes are levied, has 268 miles of streets and roads to maintain and improve, has a 20-mile coast line to protect, and presently, with an almost static population and industry, is to be faced with huge school and sewer problems, it is evident that all the improvements which may be thought desirable cannot be made at once. The Committee has had to distinguish in its recommendations between those proposed expenditures which are immediately necessary, those which may be ad- visable but which can be deferred, and those which can be eliminated, in all cases having in mind the total tax burden which the citizens must bear. However, we must progress and intelligent expenditures must be made to the end that all sections of the Town will benefit and become attractive to its residents and prospective residents and to its visitors from whom the Town derives so large a part of its total an- nual business income. It is such expenditures, in the light of present economic conditions, that the Advisory and Finance Committee, acting in your behalf, believes it has recommend- ed.
-374-
We wish to express our thanks and appreciation to the departments and offices of the Town, to committees and to the Personnel Board for their cooperation and the aid which they have given us in arriving at our determinations. Respectfully submitted,

Based on the 1959 valuation of $37,887,425, this total will require a tax rate of approximately $59.40.
An increase of $1,000,000 in the valuation would reduce this tax rate by approximately $1.50.
Each $38,000 added to or subtracted from the net total above would increase or decrease the tax rate approximate- ly $1.
REPORT OF PERSONNEL BOARD
The Personnel Board investigated the work and standard rates of salaries of the various positions subject to the pro- visions of the Salary Classification by-law and, as a result, recommends adjustments in salaries and wages totalling ap- proximately $24,000. This amount includes a 10¢ hourly in- crease in wages in the labor group and increases resulting from changes in classifications in other groups.
Our investigation included the review of job descriptions for all of the clerical group, a study of the relative position of the wages and salaries of the foremen and the executive group, and a study of the Police and Fire Departments to determine a means of providing a greater spread in salaries between the various positions within these departments.
Our reason for recommending the 10¢ increase for the labor group is based upon our findings in making a number of studies of towns having similar populations, which showed that the general wage level of our labor group was somewhat low.
With the new classifications, the general salary level of the Town of Plymouth compares favorably with other towns that were included in our survey.
The above recommendations will increase the tax rate approximately 63¢, based on the 1959 valuation.

In Memoriam
JOHN A. KENNEDY
The Town lost an efficient and valued employee in the sudden death on October 2, 1961 of John A. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy had worked for the Highway Department from 1938 to 1945 when he was elected Tree Warden, holding that position until the time of his death. He will be missed not only by his associates but by all those who had occasion to do business with him as the Town's Tree Warden, Moth Superintendent and a member of the Town Forest Committee.
