Greatest Asset


Town Department Cooperation


The park department cannot help but recognize the new spirit of cooperation that has been or is being mould- ed between the various town departments. The town stands to benefit by this cooperation, regardless of the job, regardless of the conditions. This department has joined with the other town departments in giving aid to meet emergencies and obstacles and the Park Depart- ment is proud to be a member of this new Cooperative Utilities. Under such a fine spirit this department in its 1964 report lists such cooperation as the Town's greatest asset, now, and to the future.

At the annual meeting of February 24th, 1964, we tried an innovation. Guests were invited for coffee and a musical program, played by Mr. Henry Britten and the Old Colony Consort. Mr. Martin Person, Jr., headed the committee of arrangements. Fifty people attended. Vot- ing members of the Library Corporation elected officers for the ensuing year and heard reports of committees.


The Art Committee, with Mrs. William Franks as Chairman, had a special loan exhibition in July of works borrowed from the Harriman Gallery of Boston. We are grateful to Plymouth people whose work has been exhibited during the other months. Much interest has been stimulated. For the first time, bad weather forced the annual "outdoor" show indoors. The occurrence was beneficial in this respect; the show was left hanging longer so that more people saw it.


Issuing phonograph records for home listening is a new service begun in October as the result of the gift


-334 -


of the first one-hundred records. Our benefactor is Mrs. Theodore Steinway, who also is one of the advisors who assist the staff in selecting new recordings. Other donors are Miss Judith Serafini, Mr. Eric Engstrom, Mrs. Wil- liam Sproles, Plimoth Plantation and Radio Station WBZ. The collection will be broad in scope to include, in addi- tion to classical music, poetry readings, plays, musical comedies, ballads and popular songs, jazz, folk music, historical materials and literature for children. Borrow- ing is limited to adults.


The Library acknowledges gratefully the generous gifts to the book collection by many individuals, and memorial gifts donated by the Plymouth Garden Club and Plymouth Woman's Club. We also made purchases from the Lucia and Mary Bartlett Art Fund and the Alice Christian Christmas, Park, Parker, Feinberg, and Plimoth Academy funds.


Realizing how much the Library owes to benefactors since the founding in 1856, the Directors decided that an appropriate record should be published. Mrs. Edward Belcher was chairman of the committee to assemble the information which has been inscribed in a beautifully tooled red leather memorial volume. It is on display in a cabinet near the desk.


There is one personnel change to report: Mrs. Martha Seifert resigned from her position as part-time assistant on September 30th. The other members of the staff have carried on faithfully the regular activities.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


During 1964, layout plans were made for Seven Hills Rd., Reed Ave., Cape Cod Ave., a portion of Plymouth St., Hemlock St., Pine St., Spruce St., and an alteration at the corner of Water St. and South Park Ave. These layouts were accepted by the Town in 1964.


Layout plans were also made for King's Pond Plain Rd., Extension of Dwight Ave., Esta Rd. and Micajah Pond Rd., but these layouts were not accepted by the Town.


Construction plans and specifications were drawn for Samoset St. drainage, but the five bids received exceeded the available funds, so no work was done on this project.


Construction plans and specifications were drawn for Manomet Heights drainage, but no bids were received, so no work was done on this project.


A plan was made for a proposed water tank lot south of Carver Rd.


A survey was made of Town-owned land on Billing- ton St.


A total of 98 permanent concrete bounds were set under the supervision of the Town Engineer as follows: Billington St., 8 bounds; Seven Hills Rd., 12 bounds; Car- ver Rd., 4 bounds; Cape Cod Ave., 8 bounds; Reed Ave., 5 bounds; Plymouth St., 2 bounds; Hemlock St., 11 bounds; Pine St., 24 bounds; Spruce St., 24 bounds.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1964 PLYMOUTH REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY


The year of 1964 began with the execution of the Summer-High Street Project well ahead of schedule. The immediate concern of the Authority was the reloca- tion of families and businesses in the Project Area. A new Relocation Officer, Mr. A. V. Battista, was added to the staff to aid in placing families in standard housing. The Authority at its annual meeting re-elected Clifford E. Sampson as its Chairman. In the March Town election Edward Maccaferri was voted to a 5-year term and Mah- lon Walker to a two-year term by the Town voters.


The completion of engineering for site improvements became of considerable concern to the Authority as the year progressed. A contract had been signed with Whit- man & Howard, Engineers, in July, 1963, with a comple- tion date of March, 1964. The completed design and specifications were finally submitted to the Housing and Home Finance Agency in early December, 1964, for re- view. If approved, site improvements, including a new Market Street Bridge, widening of Summer Street, and some new sewer and water lines, should begin in early 1965.


Acquisition of 100 parcels of property was completed by eminent domain proceedings on November 6, 1963. There were twelve claims unsettled at close of 1964. Seven of these twelve former owners elected to receive pro tanto payments.


Demolition of vacated properties proceeded on sched- ule with 74 structures demolished of a total of 109 at the beginning of 1964. The Authority reports that pro- posals have been received to purchase and redevelop all land in the project that was offered to the public except two small residential parcels. This assures an early return of taxable property to the vacant land in


1 1


-- 339 -


the project. Some new construction should start in the Spring of 1965.


The relocation of families is proceeding on schedule. The Authority has reduced an original workload of 90 families, 37 individuals and 26 businesses to that of 18 families, 4 individuals and 7 businesses by the end of 1964.


The total relocation payments amounted to $41,188.00. This money comes from 100 per cent Federal funds.


Notice was received in December, 1964, of a recertifi- cation of the Workable Program for the Town to expire December 31, 1965. This permits Federal participation in local programs for 1965.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY NURSE ASSOCIATION


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Town of Plymouth


The Annual Nursing Service Report of the Plymouth Community Nurse Association, from January 1, 1964 to December 31, 1964, is herewith submitted.


During the year, a total of 6,855 visits were made to patients in Plymouth and Kingston. Of this number, 1,184 visits were made on behalf of the Plymouth Health Department.


Eleven Chest X-ray Clinics were held at the Jordan Hospital, one of which was a make-up clinic to accommo- date the many appointments that were due. A total of 467 persons were x-rayed and examined.


Ten Immunization clinics were held at the Town House. 726 DPT injections, vaccinations and polio vaccine drinks were given by Dr. Frank J. Abate, Board of Health physician, assisted by the P.C.N.A. nurses.


Three clinics, for polio drinks only, were held at the Town House in April, July and August. A total of sixty-one adults, infants and preschool children took advantage of these "extra" clinics.


Twenty-two Well Child Conferences were held dur- ing the year. A total of 524 infants and preschool chil- dren were seen and examined by Dr. C. James Gormley, our W.C.C. pediatrician.


In 1964, we commenced "EXPECTANT PARENT" classes, a new venture for our organization. Four classes were conducted in January and again in June, by Mrs. Virginia Ferris, R.N., of the P.C.N.A. staff.

In January, our agency conducted a series of Nutri- tion classes for Social and Public Health workers.


During the past year, we were fortunate to have students who are taking the Practical Nursing Course, at the Jordan Hospital, observe our work with us.


This organization takes a special interest in our Com- munity. Our ultimate aim is to give our citizens in Plymouth and Kingston the finest home nursing service in the treatment and prevention of disease.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Gentlemen:


I herewith submit the following report on the activ- ities and accomplishments in the Highway and Sewer Departments, having succeeded Elmer C. Chandler, the previous Superintendent of Streets, from June 13, 1964 to December 31, 1964.


SEWERS


Approximately six miles of the main sewers were dragged in removing tree roots, debris and hard grease. Manholes were repaired and cleaned with new frames and covers replaced on several manholes. Twenty-eight house services and one commercial service have been added to the Main sewer system in the Town of Plym- outh. House services are no longer cleared by the de- partment, a ruling adopted by the Board of Selectmen on September 2, 1964. A licensed plumber must be called by the property owner to clear their own line from the cleanout to the main sewer. The main sewer on Westerly Road was extended north a distance of 32' of 36" clay pipe, Grandview Drive main sewer was extended a distance of 22' of 8" clay pipe and Coles Lane sewer was extend- ed north a distance of 403' of 8" clay pipe with two man- holes built. A new sewer line of 456' of 8" clay pipe was laid and two manholes built in the rear of the Memorial Building to Water St. This new line was installed to take care of sewerage from St. Peter's Parish House and the church Center.


The Westerly Road sewer line from Alden Street to Liberty Street was started in 1963 and completed this year with the laying of 2100' of 8" clay pipe and five manholes built. Westerly Road south to Alden Street Ext. started in 1963 was completed this year with 1030'


-343 -


of 8" clay pipe laid and four manholes built. To rectify a water pollution on the town property at Dearn and McGrath's Restaurant, 205' of 4" cast iron pipe and one manhole was built and added to the present line of 65' of cast iron pipe. This work was done by contract with the help of the department.


STREET CLEANING


The Elgin motor pick-up sweeper cleaned two thous- and one hundred ninety seven curb miles from April 13, 1964 to November 13, 1964. The main street from Jabez Corner to Seaside Line was swept each day including the waterfront from Main Street Ext. to Town Wharf. The side streets in town and the north end are swept every other day. During the spring months the hand sweeping of the heavy winter sand was done.


ASPHALT SIDEWALKS


The maintenance and construction of asphalt side- walks were completed on the following streets: Cherry St., Nelson St., Obery St., Standish Ave., Braunecker Road, Cooper St., Savery Lane, Davis St., Court St., Oak St., Castle St., Chilton St., and Newfield St. Approxi- mately 275 tons of blacktop mix was laid out on these sidewalks. Necessary repairs were made on sidewalk sur- faces where tree roots and stumps were removed by the Tree Department. I am planning an extensive asphalt sidewalk program in my 1965 budget providing funds are made available at Town Meeting.


DRAINS


A drain was installed on Marjorie St. and Alvin Road, a distance of 320' of 15" concrete pipe with three catchbasins built to take care of draining surface water on Marjorie St. The drainage at No. 37 Samoset St., was corrected by adding 72' of reinforced concrete pipe to the present drainage system with one catchbasin built to carry off surface water.

-- 344 -


In the rear of the Brewster property on Samoset St., a V inlet one foot in thickness was made to hold de- bris from entering the brook. At the Bluebird Restau- rant, 35' of 12" corrugated pipe with one catchbasin built was connected into the existing basin. The troublesome spots of basins received their regular cleaning and small repairs made on other catchbasins.


FENCES


The Reliable Fence Company of Norwell was award- ed the bid for installing and according to specifications the following four foot chain link fences: Billington St., 600', Clifford Road, 275', Allerton St., 35', River St., 160', and Sagamore St., 90'. A total of 1160 feet installed for $1820.00.


HY. CONSTR. AND RECONST.


The following streets were paved with a 21/2"Type I mix over the old road surface consiting of a 11/2" base and a 1" top: Summer St., Water St. Ext., Mt. Pleasant St., John Alden Road, Quaker Road, Charlemont Road, Abington Ave., Thomas Ave., Old Beach Road, Welling- ton Ave., Warrendale Road and Stephen's Lane. These two streets were resurfaced with a mixed-in-place top of gravel and asphalt 3" in thickness: Bourne Road, 9500' completed to Long Pond Road and Melix Ave., 1060;' completed from State Highway to Cape Cod Avenue.


CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION


The State awarded to Balboni Brothers, local con- tractor, the contract for improving Sandwich Street from Cole's Lane to the By-Pass. Work completed included drainage, regrading road surface, road widened, curbing installed, aprons to driveways raised and approximately seventeen trees removed. The road received a penetra- tion treatment and a base course of Type I laid with the top surface to be completed in the spring of 1965.


-- 345 -


CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE


The State, County and Town share one-third of the cost on the following maintenance of streets in the amount of $7500.00. A section of Federal Furnace Road was paved with Type I mix from the property of John Hanson to the Legion Camp. Court St., from Samoset St. to Plimoth Plaza was paved with Type I mix and both these jobs were done by Warren Brothers Roads Company. South Meadow Road received a seal coat of one-quarter gallon of asphalt per sq. yd. and covered with sand.


CHAPTER 782 Acts of 1962


The following was done with aid of funds provided by the State under Chapter 782 Acts of 1962 of the Gen- eral Laws: Loaming, seeding slopes and using baled hay to prevent the washing of the bankings on Nook Road was accomplished. A four-foot blacktop sidewalk was laid on Nook Road on the south side from Sandwich St. to the school driveway with 2325' of berm. Drainage on Thrush Avenue included the laying of 800' of 12" plain concrete pipe and four catchbasins built and a new road surface. Westerly Road was paved from Liberty St. to Route No. 44. Projects to be included under these funds for 1965 are Olmsted Terrace and Lewis Street with a Type I pavement.


CONCRETE CURBING


A. G. Tarantino of Plymouth submitted the lowest bid for the construction of concrete curbing: Stafford St. and corner of Towns St., 204', Castle St., north side, 344' and Obery St., north side, 527' from Plymouth County driveway to school driveway. A 110' concrete retaining wall was built at the property of Mrs. Ingersoll on the Plymouth-Bourne line to prevent further washing of the banking which was undermining her chain link fence.


-346 -


TRAFFIC AND STREET MARKING


Traffic lines were painted yellow and white this year conforming with the state traffic regulations. White crosswalks were painted in the spring and fall and re- painted as needed. Requests for eight new crosswalks were painted out and one crosswalk relocated. Taxi stands and restricted areas were painted yellow. A new experience on plastic traffic markings was carried out this year on three intersections in town and this type of presslab marking has proven very satisfactory. The traf- fic department sign making machine has made and erect- ed the following signs all conforming to State regula- tions: 12 school, 47 Stop, 70 Go Slow Children, 40 No Parking and 10 Thickly Settled Signs. It was necessary to replace many meter posts that were damaged by trucks and automobiles.


MISCELLANEOUS


Equipment purchased this year for the Highway De- partment includes a 1964 Ford Ranchero truck for the Superintendent of Streets, a 1964 3/4 ton Ford pick-up replaces the 1959 Chevrolet trade-in, a new Front End Loader with four-wheel drive replaces the 1954 loader turned in as part payment and a new truck-mounted automatic sandspreader.


Eel River and Bartlett Brook were cleared of sand and stones washed in from high tides of the northeast storms.


The work in the Manomet, Long Pond and Cedar- ville districts has been carried out satisfactorily by the three district foremen. The cutting and burning of brush, gravelling, widening of bad corners, snow and sanding, scraping of dirt roads and applications of calcium chloride to lay the dust, were all given proper attention.


The requests from the Selectmen's Office and other


:


:


--- 347 --


town departments were taken care of as received at the office.


Newly accepted streets have been bounded by the Town Engineer with bounds made by the Highway Department.


Permits to dig up and open the grounds were issued to the local gas company, private contractors and tele- phone company, who properly guarded and lighted all excavations.


Lines and grades for street, drain and sewer work have been supplied by the Town Engineer, Edward Chase, and records of same filed at his office on Lincoln Street.


Respectfully submitted,


RALPH L. BONNA, Supt. of Streets and Sewers

ANNUAL REPORT OF PLYMOUTH AIRPORT COMMISSION


The annual report of the Plymouth Airport Com- mission is submitted herewith.


The airport register and records indicate a substan- tial increase in activities for the past year despite the unusual inclement weather conditions during the year.


Another nine aircraft were flown to Plymouth for permanent storage increasing the total to 40 aircraft based at facility.


Negotiations with a private contractor have been completed to construct a ten stall storage hangar at the airport. The necessary land will be leased to contractors and construction will commence in March 1965. This will increase the popularity of the field as inside storage has been inadequate in the past.


The maintenance operation at the field has experi- enced an increase in activities resulting in the need of another full-time mechanic. They are now occupying the new storage building which was completed this winter thereby increasing airport rental income.
