PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board submits their Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1958.
Your Planning Board has now completed its fifth year in office, and in addition to their responsibilities in connection with
82
Sub-division, the Board has been concerned with long range planning for drainage, sidewalk construction and other improve- ments for the betterment of the Town.
The Planning Board meets regularly the first and third Wed- nesday of each month, at 7:45 P.M. in the Committee Room, second floor of the Town Hall, and would welcome any suggestion in regard to long range planning for the best interests of the Town.
During the past year the Planning Board has held 22 regular and special meetings, besides holding a special joint meeting with the Board of Selectmen, Water Commissioners and Town Counsel; a joint meeting with the Board of Selectmen; a public hearing; attended a Regional Meeting of Planning Boards; and, together with members of the Board of Selectmen, attended a special hearing of the Massachusetts Commission of Rivers and Water- ways to present our request for their aid in connection with the Willow Brook drainage project.
The Planning Board received 22 applications for sub-division under Form A, where plans were to be recorded at Plymouth, and approved 20. The Board was consulted, one or more times, on proposed sub-divisions that would require new ways to be con- structed to serve such sub-divisions.
A committee, consisting of members of the Planning Board and the Board of Selectmen, personally visited and inspected areas for which sand, gravel and/or loam permits were requested. In every case a written report was given the Selectmen, stating the vote of the inspecting committee. The Planning Board also inspected areas being considered for future drainage, sidewalk and building construction.
In keeping with our forward look in planning, the Planning Board has entered four articles in the Town Warrant as follows: Sidewalk Construction, Services of a Civil Engineer on a per- diem (day) basis, Adding an additional (limited) area to the Indus- trial Area, and an amendment to the Plumbing By-Law.
The Planning Board has been careful with their expenditures,
83
keeping expenses of Printing, Advertising, Postage, Stationery, Dues, Special Meetings and Supplies down to a minimum of $72.60.
It is our considered opinion that the Town is facing a real building boom in the next few years, and is grateful that the voters have approved and adopted a Building and Plumbing Code, Lot Size regulations, separate Board of Health, etc., which, we believe, will guide this growth in the best interests of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,

DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
The year 1958 was one of increased activity in your Develop- ment and Industrial Commission. We had several leads from pro- spective industrial development clients and these were pursued but no tangible results were forthcoming. The Commission while handling these cases learned several things which will be of inestimable value in the future. The experience is equipping us with the proper procedures to be followed in handling prospects, and we are more convinced than ever that in order to sell the advantages and possible locations in West Bridgewater we must know considerably more of the facts. We therefore are stepping up our map project which will give us an up-to-the-minute cata- logue of possible sites which we can carry with us in the field while acquainting prospects with what we have to offer them in West Bridgewater.
One highlight of our activity this year was the extremely successful presentation of the West Bridgewater exhibit in the Industrial Exhibition in the SEMECO building at the Brockton Fair.
Many hours of planning and work were put in by the mem- bers of the Commission and the Advisory Committee to make the working model of the Fall River Expressway which was ac- claimed by over 160,000 people during the Fair.
We accomplished what we set out to do in the show by calling attention to West Bridgewater as an energetic, imaginative, wide- awake town in which to be located.
One businessman after seeing the model exhibit, realizing the potential possibilities in advertising his business, and of acces- sibility to several metropolitan areas in Massachusetts and Rhode Island contacted the Commission and a field trip was made with him to look over several areas in the town. He has planned to move here and to set up a very attractive plant on the highway. This beginning can be very important in the future growth of West Bridgewater.
89
Late in the year a very rewarding meeting was held with Mr. Harold Ogden of the Development Division of the New Haven Railroad. He had previously been provided a copy of the Zoning Map of the town by the Commission. He had studied our potential and concluded that our most valuable asset so far as industrial development is concerned is the expressway area. In our meeting with him we discussed the steps necessary to bring an area from a virtual wilderness to a live prosperous development.
We are ready to pursue a positive program of assistance to the land owner in guiding the establishment of industrial areas with the interests of the townspeople foremost in our minds. We expect to coordinate our thinking with that of the other boards and committees in the town so that each group will be well informed and in order that we may benefit by their ideas and suggestions.
As 1958 comes to an end we know where we are going and what we have to do. The Commission feels optimistic and looks forward to the year ahead which according to all of the predic- tions should prove to be one of the most promising prosperous years in the history of our country. We are thankful that we have three years behind us which have been well spent in learning and organizing our ideas into definite plans of action.

EXTENSION SERVICE
By Robert B. Ewing, County Agent-Manager
The Plymouth County Extension Service (Trustees, Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture), is located in the Court House, Brock- ton. In cooperation with the University of Massachusetts and the
90
United States Department of Agriculture, it provides information to Plymouth County citizens dealing with the Home, 4-H Club Work, and Agriculture.
Increased requests for information about the Home and Home Grounds have come as more people move into our Plymouth County towns from the city. This information has been pro- vided through meetings, news releases, radio, special activities, telephone, letters, etc.
Citizens of this town should realize that this is a service provided by the County, State, and Federal governments and large numbers of people are availing themselves of the opportu- nity to secure helpful information concerning the Home, Home Grounds, 4-H Club Work, and Agriculture. Requests for such information should be directed to the Plymouth County Exten- sion Service, Court House, Brockton, Mass.
Funds for County Aid to Agriculture are derived principally from the County. Some Federal funds are also made available through the University of Massachusetts. Most towns in Ply- mouth County make a token appropriation which is used for the general expenditures of the Plymouth County Extension Service. Town Directors are appointed in those towns where an appropri- ation is made. These Town Directors are unpaid volunteer lead- ers who serve as the Extension Service representatives in their respective towns.
The Board of Trustees, appointed by the Plymouth County Commissioners, administers the Extension Service program and is composed of the following members:
Gilbert Blackledge, Whitman, Chairman John Little, Marshfield Mrs. Harold D. Bent, Brockton Paul Lehtola, Bridgewater John Prentice, Plymouth Ralph McIlvana, Plympton
Mrs. Roy Puddington, Hanson
Mrs. Herbert Wydom, Brockton Maurice Makepeace, Wareham

WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL COMMITTEE
Board of Selectmen
West Bridgewater, Mass. Gentlemen:
The World War II Memorial Committee respectfully sub- mits the following report:
This Committee has met on several occasions since its appointment by the Board of Selectmen. Suggestions as to a fitting memorial have been received from interested citizens of the town as well as from the local Legion Post.
Suggestions have ranged from a large field-stone boulder with a plaque listing names of those who have served in the World
92
War II and the Korean Conflict, to several types of granite mem- orials, as well as wood constructed Honor Rolls.
Excellent suggestions for the removal of the present World War I memorial in front of the Town Hall to the War Memorial Park have been made.
After due consideration of all suggestions and possibilities, this Committee has decided upon the following action:
Due to the fact that this will be a permanent Memorial, and because of the many varied ideas and suggestions, the committee feels that no decision should be made at this time to recommend to the voters of the Town, but to continue this committee for another year, so that proper consideration can be given to all sug- gestions on a fitting Memorial.
We also recommend, that all veterans that have not done so, register their discharges with the Town Clerk, so that a complete record may be made of all those who served our Country during World War II and the Korean Conflict. We do not wish to over- look anyone whose name should appear on the Honor Roll.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM R. BROWN, Chairman ROYAL K. SNELL CURTIS CARRIGAN World War II Memorial Comm.
REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
We the Water Commissioners and Superintendent of the Town of West Bridgewater, submit our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1958.
During the year a total of 98,658,585 gallons of water were pumped. This is a daily average of 270,297 gallons; a weekly average of 1,897,280 gallons and a monthly average of 8,221,546 gallons. The greatest amount pumped on any one day was 447,568 gallons on July 2; and the highest month was July, during which
93
9,555,840 gallons were pumped. As the figures show that with the normal growth and additional modern conveniences the gallons being pumped are still steadily increasing. With the exception of 1957, which was extremely dry, the highest previous year was 90,265,872 gallons pumped in 1952. This year it has increased that figure by 8,393,688 gallons.
There were 16 analyses of our town's drinking water made during the year by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. As usual all reports were most satisfactory showing highly acceptable quality and much greater freedom from bacterial elements.
A total of 32 new services were installed, of which three were two inch connections, one a four inch connection, and one a six inch connection. There were twenty-three old services renewed. A program of sealing water meters was started and one hundred and nineteen have been sealed. There were three hundred and twenty-eight service calls made for meter removal or installation and for house service calls. There were seven hundred and sixty- three hours of overtime spent on emergency calls and maintenance. This year all hydrants were flushed during late hours at night to cause as little inconvenience to our customers as possible. We were unfortunate in losing three hydrants by auto accidents and five were found in need of repair. One hydrant was removed to make room for a driveway at the Post Office building. All regular work of charting curb boxes, raising gate boxes on new road construction and checking hydrants prior to cold weather have been completed.
This year a settlement for the easement rights through the Hillcrest Dairy property was made through a court decision. An agreement was made with the Pine Hill Cemetery Association for the easement through their property and also a settlement with Mr. Fred Reed for the easement rights through his property.
The land for the gravel packed well was purchased, and all settlements were made by the owners and the Water Commis- sioners and the deeds filed in Plymouth. The land has been sur- veyed and staked out, the well driven and permanent casings have been installed, and extensive pumping tests have been made. The land and well have been approved by the Engineers of Whitman and Howard and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts De-
94
partment of Public Health. Plans were drawn up for the building to contain the pump and equipment and will be put out on bid in the near future.
Due to the Chapter 90 road building program the Commis- sioners felt that this was the time to lay the mile of eight inch pipe plus hydrants to connect at Bridgewater line on South Street. This project was completed with the exception of fixing the edge of the road. This will be done in the spring when the trench has settled. This is only a part of our survey plan which we hope to carry out in the next ten to fifteen years. We still have a large quantity of two and four inch mains to be replaced. The depart- ment must look forward to the time when they must be faced by a substantial increase either for the purpose of housing develop- ments or industrial developments. There have been many questions asked the board by interested parties about future developments. Interest seems to be growing due to the fact that cities and towns north of us are rapidly reaching their capacity for developments and also the expressway is nearing completion.
We have closely followed the activities of the Southeastern Massachusetts Water District Commission during the year and other legislation affecting water department problems both at the State House and in Washington. We have also studied closely and have been in contact with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Water Resources Commission. The board also has studied and been in contact with the State Division of Sanitary Engineering and Massachusetts Department of Public Health due to the new sewage disposal plant which has been anticipated by Brockton. They, and our own Engineers, feel that it will not have any effect on our water system.
We met the Easton Water Department in regards to the Turnpike situation, but the meeting did not bring about any definite decision at this time. The commissioners still have the Jerusalem situation in mind. They have worked closely with the Brockton Water Department still striving to correct the lack of water and poor pressure. We have installed a check valve in the Manley Street side to help boost pressure. Brockton is anticipating cross connections in the future and a cleaning program which - should be of great help in this situation.

In the year 1959 we expect to do some pipe cleaning. This project will inconvenience many people, but it is a very necessary project and we hope that we can depend on your co-operation through this unpleasantness.
We thank everyone for their full co-operation and hope we can depend on you in our other emergencies and in our future planning for a better system for your protection and future service.
At this time we would like to thank the Police Department in contacting us when help was required by our customers.
Also Mr. Berglund and his department and Mr. MacQuinn and his department for their excellent co-operation.
