The Water Commissioners of Hanover have been interviewed and we have been assured of their co-operation and their willingness to furnish Norwell with water for as long as we may desire it.
45
TOWN OF NORWELL
Our first meetings were devoted to a general discussion of the need of a public water supply, together with its advantages and obligations and it was unanimously agreed-that a public water supply is both necessary and desirable for the best interests of the Town, that it is available at a reasonable cost and within the financial competence of the community.
It is the belief of the committee that such service can be accom- plished most economically by the installation of mains to distribute water purchased from the Town of Hanover. Obviously these mains will be located in the most populated areas, but will be of sufficient size to service the entire community, providing for extensions whenever practical. Until such time as public water will be available to all, each taxpayer would be in one of the following categories and the committee considers that there are sufficient benefits to all to warrant the necessary expenditure.
(A) The owners of property not immediately serviced would bene- fit from the reduction of insurance costs on all town property, in addi- tion to the much needed improvement in public health, fire and sanita- tion protection-particularly in the schools. An increase in taxes will be necessary, but this increase should be appreciably less than on serviced property. The committee emphasizes that the proposed mains and stand- pipe are much larger than is at present necessary, but are ample to take care of future needs. The cost of providing for the expansion of the system throughout the entire town is a substantial portion of the original expense, which must be shared by future users. Immediate users will be taxed for the complete cost of their service, whereas all others will be taxed only for that portion spent to protect their future inter- ests.
(B) The owners of the property located on the water mains, choosing not to take the water, will have all the previously described benefits, in addition to about a 44% reduction in Fire Insurance costs on real estate and personal property. This is a substantial saving con- sidering that the insured value in all probability greatly exceeds the assessed valuation. For the advantages gained, owners will be not only subject to the general increase in the tax rate, but should experience about a 20% increase in assessment, as their property value is improved, even though advantage of the service has not been taken.
(C) Property owners taking water, in addition to the benefits of public health and Fire Insurance reduction, will have an unlimited supply of water, free from soil contamination, unaffected by power, pump or well failure. The cost of water over and above the increase in taxes due to the rate change and increased valuations should not be appreciably greater than the present cost of pump, power and main- tenance and will be reduced as the number of consumers increase.
Due to the lack of funds the committee was not able to authorize any investigations or surveys. It realizes that health tests should have been made on the majority of wells in the town, particularly those servicing public buildings. . A survey of well failures no doubt would have revealed acute shortages in the dry seasons and a loss of water is a potential threat to many citizens a good portion of the year. In the event of a real drought the enire town could find itself in a very serious situation. Following is an analysis of the proposed service, costs and savings to each taxpayer. The figures shown should be considered only
46
NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
as reasonably accurate estimates, as no appropriation was made for a detailed engineers survey and report.
SERVICE
As shown by the attached map it is proposed to lay approximately 13 miles of mains in the Ridge Hill, Church Hill and Norwell Center areas, with the necessary storage facilities and service hydrants. The following streets would be serviced-High Street, Washington Street, part of Grove Street, Tiffany Road, River Street, Central Street, and Main Street, and provisions made to extend lines whenever practical.
COSTS
The basic system outlined will cost approximately $347,000. to be financed by a bond issue over a period of 28 years at 2% interest and after the second year to be retired at the rate of $12,500. per year. As only interest will be paid the first two years, the cost will be greatest in the third year and the following analysis is for that year. As the debt and interest charges are reduced, the cost to the town is less each succeeding year.

NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
The committee has considered present high prices and the advisa- bility of installing the system at this time and strongly advises the in- stallation because any advantages gained in lower costs may be offset by higher interest charges.
For the consideration of those Townspeople who feel that the $350,000.00 project is too large to start at this time, we are submitting herewith, an alternate plan on a very much reduced basis which covers the Church Hill and Ridge Hill areas as shown on the map.

TOWN OF NORWELL
REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Norwell:
The urgent need for more elementary grade rooms has been pointed out in our previous reports.
The existing classrooms are crowded and several makeshift arrange- mients have had to be made. Due to the fact only two elementary school buildings of two rooms each are available, many of the elementary grades have had to be transferred to the high school building. As this building was built for junior high and high school classes, this crowd- ing causes the facilities of the building to be taxed to the limit of capacity.
With the appropriation of $4500 voted by the town at the special town meeting in December the committee has engaged the firm of "J. William Beal, Sons, Architects" to draw plans and specifications for an elementary school building.
As this report is being written, it is impossible for your committee to say definitely when the plans and bids for the building will be sub- mitted to you for approval. The plans and bids will be ready in ample time for the regular town meeting in March, but as it is necessary for the legislature to pass a bill allowing the town to raise money in excess of the debt limit, we cannot put an article in the warrant until this per- missive legislation has been passed. As this bill has not yet been put on the calendar for hearing, the chance of action in time for our March first meeting is doubtful.
As stated before more room is critically needed and as soon as it is humanly possible to do so your committee will submit their proposal to you for consideration.

JAMES P. HALL, MARGARET McMULLAN, ARTHUR L. MERRITT, DONALD C. WILDER, Chairman.

NINETY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE 1947
To the Selectmen of the Town of Norwell
Gentlemen:
County Aid to Agriculture is an official department under the super- vision of the County Commissioners. It is commonly known as the Ply- mouth County Extension Service, and is made up of three departments- Agriculture, Homemaking, and 4-H Club Work. Its function is adult education and service to county people, particularly in reference to the problems of rural people.
The contribution of each town is a token of appreciation which relieves the county budget of additional appropriation to support this organization. The Extension Service Office is located at the Court House, Brockton. The United States Department of Agriculture, the University of Massachusetts, the County of Plymouth and individual towns co- operate in maintaining this service for farmers, homemakers, and rural youth. In 1947 all Plymouth County towns have been given equal oppor- tunity for service and each town has received benefits in proportion to the need and requests.
The Agricultural Department has been handicapped by lack of a full staff of workers for part of the year. Despite this loss, a comprehen- sive educational program for dairymen, poultrymen, market gardeners, fruit growers and cranberry growers, has been promoted. Other pro- grams and service for home gardeners, general livestock producers, woodlot owners, and for others of a wide variety of interests have also been carried on. This Department is guided by an Agricultural Council and individual commodity committees which meet frequently to consider the important phases requiring educational attention.
The Homemaking Department, represented by Home Demonstration Agents, has also had a limited staff. The teaching of women's groups in clothing, home furnishings, food production and preservation, home management, nutrition, and child development, have been featured. This Department is guided by the Woman's Advisory Council and by Town Committees who render valuable assistance in this teaching program.
The 4-H Club Department is recovering from the war period during which numbers of young people of 4-H club age were engaged in war work which was not conducive to interest in club work. All towns have the opportunity of having 4-H clubs for boys and girls. The boys' work includes organized clubs for dairy, poultry, sheep and gardening. The girls' department offers organized clubs teaching canning, clothing, food preparation, home furnishing and child care. The individual club mem- bers may take up other interests and be given assistance by the club agents. The most important thing in club work is the responsibility for leadership. Without town leadership, 4-H club agents are unable to carry on a constructive club program.
The entire Extension Service program is under the direction of a Board of Trustees, whose chairman is Russell Makepeace, Marion.
Direct responsibility for the Extension Service is the assignment of J. T. Brown, Director.

THE TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION, INC., NORWELL, MASSACHUSETTS
To the Selectmen of the Town of Norwell
Gentlemen:
The year 1947 has been a year full of activity for the Nursing Association.
Dr. Alice Butler, pediatrician in charge of our Well Child Confer- ence, has gained the confidence and respect of the young mothers, with the result that many more babies are under her supervision.
The Clinic continues through the years to be held on the fourth Tuesday of each month, from 1:00 p. m. to 4:00 p. m., by appointment. Miss Roe is assisted by Mrs. Harold King, Mrs. Hans Sandberg and Mrs. John Murphy. Until recently, Mrs. Earle Allen has helped with the clinic.
The new dental clinic, under the supervision of Dr. Donald W. Parsons, is functioning efficiently. Four young ladies are giving one day each month as dental assistants. They are Mrs. Jack Davis, Mrs. Charles Rounds, Mrs. Phillip Snow and Mrs. Joseph Beauregard.
New equipment has to be added from time to time and this year a new car was purchased for the use of Miss Roe. One new hospital bed has been added, also an invalid's bedside chair. The four hospital beds have been in constant use, two by chronic cases.
The nurse's salary was increased two hundred dollars per year. We also joined the National Retirement Plan, whereby who ever is em- ployed by this Association as nurse will have future security.
When Mr. Alfred J. Wilson resigned as board member, Mrs. S. T. Bittenbender was voted as a new member of the board and she is taking charge of publicity.
Mrs. Lloyd West, as chairman of the T. B. Seal Sales, reports very satisfactory returns.
Mr. James Barnard has kindly taken over the work as Treasurer during the absence of Mrs. Brooks. The financial report prepared by Mr. Barnard gives a complete picture of the funds necessary to carry on all these activities.
At this time, I wish to thank all who so generously give of their time and money in supporting the rummage sales, the T. B. Seal Sales and responding to the annual drive for membership funds. Only through the generosity of the people of Norwell can we continue to do the best work for the town.
The present officers and Board members are:
Mrs. Harold B. King, Vice-President Mrs. Richard Brooks, Treasurer Mr. James H. Barnard, Treasurer Pro-Ten Mrs. Humphrey Turner, Secretary Mr. Lloyd West, Auditor
