ing station to accommodate this new equipment, but with building costs at their present high level, it seemed advisable to remove the present gasoline driven auxiliary pump and in its place install a high speed diesel engine with a centrifugal pump of about 1,000 gallons per minute output. This would deliver ample water for domestic consumption plus adequate fire protection for many years to come.


The preliminary estimate for this work was $11,000. Several attempts to hold a special town meeting to author- ize borrowing or transfer of funds were unsuccessful due to the lack of a quorum being present. This delay has resulted in a substantial increase over the original estimate. Our last revised estimate was for $12,300 and it is reason- able to assume that it may be higher by Town Meeting.


One of the most frequent inquiries made at this office is the possibility and advisability of extending the system to the various outlying sections namely, North Harwich, Pleasant Lake and East Harwich. Inasmuch as the Federal Works Agency has funds which are available to cities and towns for planning such projects, it seemed a good op- portunity to obtain complete engineering data on these major extensions. Application was made for funds for this survey, but no grant had been approved by the end of the year. We feel certain, however, that sufficient data will be available to present these various projects to the people at the next Annual Town Meeting.


Maintenance


Essential maintenance work was performed as usual. Due to the limited amount of labor available, it was neces- sary to defer most of our preventative maintenance pro- gram. All hydrants received a badly needed coat of paint. which not only protects them but greatly improves their appearance. As usual all hydrants were greased and re- paired when needed and inspected several times during the year.


A total of four hydrants were struck by automobiles and damaged. This is the greatest number of hydrants damaged in any one year to date and, no doubt, was due to the increased traffic during the summer months.


No serious leaks developed during the year.


Services


A record number of new service installations were


30


made during the year. One hundred thirty-two services were completed under the greatest of handicaps. We were fortunate in obtaining some additional labor, but this was far from the amount needed to make installations without long delays. Materials were more difficult to obtain than during the war years and the small quantities received made it impossible to build up a normal inventory. Although our labor costs were no higher than the previous year, material costs increased 20% to 30%. This has resulted in a small loss on services installed this year and it may be necessary to increase our charges for this work.


Pumping Station


As mentioned earlier, it is very essential that we install an additional pump to meet the increased demand for water. The system has expanded rapidly in the past two years with the result that our present pumping equip- ment cannot handle the load with the factor of safety required.


The daily, weekly, monthly demands were well above any previous year.


Our diesel engine was completely overhauled as usual and maintained in good condition by our own men for the remarkably low sum of $53.80 for repairs. All pumps and other miscellaneous equipment were maintained in good mechanical condition and repaired or overhauled when needed.


Extensions


The large number of extensions voted by the Town this year placed a tremendous burden on our personnel. Even with the pipe laying let out on contract, the planning, engineering supervision, expediting materials, service in- stallations and many other details required a great deal of time and effort over and above the usual operation of the department.


Our mains were extended a total of 15,370 feet during the year, ranging in size from 2" to 10". The bulk of the work voted at Town Meeting was completed, although final payments have not been made in some cases. Con- tracts for materials were awarded early in the year at a very, favorable price. Contract for the pipe laying was awarded to the Jones Construction Co. of Barnstable. Here again we were favored with a very attractive price.


Bids for this work were invited at a time when deliv- ery schedules were months behind and contractors were


31


shopping for work where materials were available or scheduled for early delivery. We found ourselves in this favorable position and, as a result, thousands of dollars were saved on both the pipe laying and materials.


We wish to emphasize the fact that there are many dead ends in our system that should be tied in. A program should be undertaken to tie in a few each year. This not only gives better circulation but improves the fire flows substantially.


Following is a brief outline of statistics for the year including our financial report. It will be noted that the last item, Profit and Loss Statement, appears in this report for the first time. Many citizens have expressed a desire to have such a statement incorporated in this report and eliminate the necessity of reviewing reports of the Town Accountant as well as this department to arrive at the results. We wish to emphasize the fact that items such as retirement of bonds and interest payments are not made through this department and, therefore, do not appear on our books. The statement as presented includes only the receipts and expenditures for water works operation and maintenance and does not include plant additions or main line extensions.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF PLUMBING


Harwich, Mass., December 30, 1946 Board of Selectmen, Harwich, Mass.


Gentlemen ;-


My report of Plumbing Inspections have not been very satisfactory either to the owners or the plumbers due to the failure of the voters to approve the necessary regula- tions and the shortage of necessary materials.


The fact that the Town of Harwich has accepted. Sec- tions of Chapt. 142 of the General Laws it is mandatory for the town to have regulations and why the State Officials that have the powers to enforce the adoption of regulations have failed to do so we do not know.


I hope that at the annual town meeting some form of plumbing regulations will be accepted that we may have a code to work from that will meet our requirements.


There is one requirement that is a State-wide require- ment, this is in regard to range boilers, or hot water stor- age boilers, which shall have stamped on the same the capa- city and tested pressure, also all hot water boilers shall have an approved relief valve which must be properly lo- cated and with non-ferrous connections between valve and boiler.

HERRING COMMITTEE REPORT


To the Citizens of the Town of Harwich :


The Town Herring Committee had little difficulty the past year in getting the herring in and out of the ponds at Pleasant Lake, their spawning grounds. High water made the task easier than the year before and from fre- quent observations, it appeared the number of herring in the ponds and streams was satisfactory. However, there is still urgent need for a new flume at the entrance to the brooks at Long Pond, and if there is low water this fall, it may be difficult or impossible to get the herring out of the ponds. We appreciate the co-operation of the board of selectmen, the police, and the cranberry growers who have bogs on the Herring River, in working harmoniously.


Respectfully submitted,


ROBERT H. CAHOON, JAMES F. KELLEY, CLARENCE E. GREENWWOD, Herring Committee


48


REPORT OF TREE PLANTING COMMITTEE


We herewith submit our report of the tree planting along the Town Highways.


There were 100 trees planted in the spring. Due to the - efficiency in planting and the heavy rainfall which elima- ted the need of watering, the committee was able to make an additional planting of twenty this past fall, and the re- placing of four trees. All trees were pruned and fertilized and found to be in a healthy condition.


Respectfully submitted,


ASAHEL E. DRAKE, REGINALD. P. KENDALL, SHELDON THAYER Committee on Tree Planting.


49


REPORT OF THE FORESTRY DEPARTMENT


I hereby submit my first annual report as Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent for the Town of Harwich.


The Shade Trees are showing signs of recovery after the great danage they received by the last hurricane.


Limbs broken off by the strong winds and left hanging dangerously over the streets and sidewalks were removed this year with many other dead branches. There are many more that should be taken care of next year.


All shade trees along the town roads were sprayed once with Arsenate of Lead. This was necessary because of the increase of Elm Leaf Beetle on some of our Elmi trees and the few gypsy moths that were scattered through- out the town.


Some Elm trees along the State Highway and on pri- vate property that were not sprayed this year, showed an in- crease in Elm Leaf Beetle infestation. If this continues. our trees which are mostly Elms are in as much danger as they were from the gypsy moths in years past.


There were two areas in West Harwich, and one in South Harwich infested with the gypsy moth and much effort was concentrated on spraying and creosoting in or- der to keep them from spreading, but due to the thick under brush, this task is very difficult.


The fall webworm caterpillars are increasing all over town, and although the injury they cause is not serious, the mass of webbed leaves are very unsightly. These cater- pillars are not tent caterpillars that we see on the wild cherry or beach plum in the Spring, but hatch in August and stay through the Fall. This Department re- moved from our roadsides, one hundred and sixty bushels of these webworms which were destroyed by burning them.


It is the aim of this Department to get our Shade Trees back into a healthy condition and free from insects in order to withstand the Dutch Elm Disease or any other disease that may come along, but this program must be spread out over a period of years.


Respectfully submitted,


WALTER E. CAHOON, Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent.

REPORT OF THE ZONING COMMITTEE


This committee was originally appointed by the mod- erator to investigate the subject of Zoning for the Town of Harwich and to report its findings to the annual town meeting in February 1942. Because the Country was at war and so many of the town's younger citizens were called to arms, this committee felt that the matter. should be post- poned until the war's end.


After consulting with Miss Herlihy of the Massachu- setts State Planning Board and with Mr. Bidwell of the At- torney General's office, this committee found that the zon- ing ordnance which the committee agreed would be suitable for the Town of Harwich was illegal. The committee was further advised that the only zoning ordnance which the Attorney General would approve had to conform to already existing State Zoning Laws- Chapter 40, Sections 25-30b, inclusive.


We feel that any zoning regulation conforming to the existing state laws would be detrimental to the healthy growth of the town. We feel that a zoning law would cause more hardship to the residents of the Town of Harwich than it would afford protection.


We hereby return the two hundred dollars ($200.00) appropriated for this task and respectfully submit our re- port.


FRANK H. THOMPSON, SHELDON THAYER, RAYMOND H. GRAYSON, EDWIN L. PERKINS, Jr. 1 Zoning Committee.
