One Hundred and Ninth Annual Report of the


Water Commissioners


The Board of Water Commissioners submits the One Hundred and Ninth Annual Report covering the calendar year of 1963.


The total rainfall during the year amounted to 49.11 inches, which is above average for this area. The year ended with the water elevation at Little South at 105.48 feet compared to 106.12 feet for the previous year end.


On September 27, 1963, Barney Pretoni retired from the Water Department after 31 years service, the last 5 of which he served as Foreman. The Commissioners wish to note for the record, the appreciation of the Commission and the Town for the manner in which he carried out his duties.


The Commissioners signed the contract with Susi & DiCenso, for the extension of water mains in Manomet, on September 3, 1963. Shortly after Labor Day the Con- tractors commenced work and completed the laying of mains and setting of hydrants along the State Highway to the tank site. In the Spring, Chicago-Bridge & Iron Co. will start erecting the new, 1,000,000 gallon tank to be in operation before the influx of Summer residents.


The Commissioners awarded the contract for the ex- tension of water mains on Samoset Street, Seven Hills and Summer Street to A. Singarella & Sons, Inc., on October 15, 1963. The Contractor laid mains and set hy- drants on Samoset Street and Seven Hills Road, having to stop on December 18th due to inclement weather.


On December 4, 1963, shortly after 9:00 P.M., the 12- inch water main on Market Street burst, undermining the


-261-


road and causing it to collapse. The Water Department was quickly on the scene and had restored water service within an hour. Over 100,000 gallons of water washed out sand and gravel into Town Brook. The 12-inch jacketed main which was installed in 1901, will be replaced with a new main in the coming year.


The total gallons pumped during the year amounted to 624,652,400, which is 31,184,700 gallons more than was pumped last year.


Receipts from the sale of Water, connections to new mains, services rendered, etc. amounted to $149,567.61.


The Porter Harlow Tank in Manomet was painted two coats, both inside and outside and the outside of the Lout Pond Tank was also painted.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION OF PUBLIC SAFETY


Honorable Board of Selectmen


Town Office Building Lincoln Street


Plymouth, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


The following report surveys the activities of the various departments comprising the Commission of Public Safety:


Albert Saunders, Building Inspector, reported 211 per- mits for new construction totaling an estimated $2,136,180, and 199 permits for alterations with an estimated cost of $731,223. This is a healthy situation towards the growth of Plymouth as a residential area.


Louis Cappella, Sr. continues to dominate our canine population and we are happy to note that out of a total count of 1388 licensed only 74 dog bites were reported.


David Montanari, Sealer of Weights and Measures inspected 619 weighing and measuring devices during the past year without any glaring deficiencies, there being only one condemnation.


The Fire Department, under the capable command of Chief Arthur Lamb, reports all equipment in good repair and in useful condition. Future projects envision a new ladder truck and a new, more powerful forest fire truck. Certain adjustments will have to be made on existing equipment used for fire fighting to enhance efficiency. The Committee appointed by the Town Moderator to study a site for a new substation will report on a location which they have chosen. We are familiar with the pro-


-266-


jected site and hope that it will be approved by the Town and steps then taken to build a station to house the equip- ment.


A major catastrophe was averted, although about 650 acres of woodland was destroyed by fire, in the Halfway Pond area. Prompt and strategic firefighting directed by Chief Lamb and aided by apparatus from adjoining towns reduced the loss to a minimum.


The inexorable progress of time brought retirement to Captain Percy Gunther in January, and Captain Ken- neth Hall in June. Private James Barlow retired in February, and Private Walter Bartlett retired in July be- cause of disability. We wish them well in less arduous pursuits. Robert Caverly, Andrew Flynn, Joseph Horton, and Ralph Lyman were appointed to fill vacancies.


John Saccone, Sanitarian for Board of Health, has instituted seminars for food handlers to eliminate possi- bilities of infections transmitted by food handlers. This should be of benefit to consumer and dispenser. Over 16,000 doses of Sabin oral vaccine was given at the speci- fied clinics. The dental office formerly located in the Brad- ford Building has been moved to the Nathaniel Morton School. This will effect a saving of rent to the town and will place the clinic in its proper environment.


The South Street dump has practically fulfilled its task and we are negotiating for location of a new dump in the same vicinity.


We have been fortunate during the past year in being free from epidemic diseases and our incidence of conta- gious disease is happily very low.


Chief Leo Murphy has reported on all activities of the Police Department. Plymouth was again cited by the AAA for another year without a pedestrian fatality. The in- crease in the department personnel with added coverage


-267-


has proved to be a timely and wise move. We receive many letters of approval and approbation by local and temporary residents, especially in areas previously not fully policed. The police station has been repaired but a good deal would need to be done to restore the building into a useful and practical establishment. We are present- ing a request in the Town Warrant for the study of a suit- able site and building for a new headquarters.


The Commissioners wish to thank all the personnel in every division for their faithful performance of duty, for their devotion to maintaining morale, and for a common motive to promote and preserve the public safety. We extend our sincere thanks to the various departments of our town government which contribute and participate in a common cause.

On August 12, 1963 the Town Treasurer and I re- ceived a letter from the Division of Standards informing us that the Town Standard Avoirdupois weights were due at the State House for comparison with the State Standards.


On October 4, 1963 we received a letter from the Division of Standards stating that the weights (16) had been calibrated and that the 1 oz. weight was found to exceed Class A Tolerance and since this weight was pinned it could not be adjusted. Arrangements were made to replace this weight and a Certificate bearing cor- rections for use of these weights was issued and I hold this in my office.
