REPORT OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
REPORT.
To the City Council of the City of Newburyport :
GENTLEMEN :- The operation of the System of Sewerage for a full year ending December 1891 may be set down as successful and sat- isfactory in all respects. The safe and innocuous transference of the entire sewage from over three hundred establishments, large and small, to the deep water of our lower harbor, so inoffensively that, while the overflow averages about fifty gallons a minute, day and night, in a nearly steady stream, there still remain men doing daily business on the lower Merrimac, who doubt whether any filth es- capes at all ;- the bottom of the intercepting sewer is below ordina- ry high tides as far up town as Lime street; and very high water reaches Federal street and even higher ; but this fact does not seem to interfere with the regularity of the outgoing stream. During the season, among other notable additions, the Peabody Mills, with their two large systems of closets, have been from early spring connected to the six inch sewer of Independenf street, which receives the sew- age without trouble, and without disturbing the drains of small tene- ments on the same line; and except for the introduction, probably not by accident, of a half dozen or more of nine inch bobbins, which stopped the drain, no interruption has occurred. The sewers have had careful attention, and proper, but not too much care to keep the service in good order ; and at slight expense.
In the late summer, a through examination was ordered of all sewers in use, and at all man-holes or points of access; and a full record of the conditions then found was presented to the Board. It

proved that, as the use of the sewer increases, their operation is im- proved, the danger of obstruction decreases, except in cases where foreign matters are wrongfully introduced ;- the most care was re- quired where branch lines were used by very few houses.
No washing has been done, except locally in four or five cases, until November, when a general washing of all sewers except the Washington and Pleasant street main sewer, and the intercepting sewer on Merrimac and Water streets; these seem to need little special care, and can be flushed by means of the new connection lately made, at the B. & M. R. R. crossing, with the Frog pond pipe.
The quantity of water used for flushing during the year is estimat- ed to be 90,000 gallons from the hydrants, to which must be added 2,000 gallons used in washing sand out of the new sewers of Pros- pect, Allen, and Parsons streets. These sewers, authorized late in the season, foot up about 1,772 feet of sewer, with eight man-holes, which were well laid by Mr. Jere Cashman under his contract ; the engineering, surveying, plotting mapping and recording being done by our superintendent, and they are now in use, and considered to be a good and workmanlike addition to the system. The cost of build- ing them is estimated to reach above one thousand dollars, in addi- tion to the pipes and man-hole covers already paid for, and which were on hand. The bills for this construction are now due, and will be approved when presented. The accuracy of the engineering of our sewers is again corroberated by the regular flow, and by the fact that out of one hundred and five Ys dug for this year only one was no. in place. The drains laid in the year, are as follows :

REPORT OF CITY REGISTRAR.
REPORT
REGISTRAR'S OFFICE, March, 1892.
The following statistics relative to births, marriages, and deaths in the city of Newburyport, for the year ending December 31, 1891, are compiled and presented in the following manner for purposes of com- parison with other years, aud may be of interest :
BIRTHS.
The number of children born alive during the year 1891, and re- corded in this office is 344, thirty-three more than for the preceding year.
Of these, 193 were males and 151 females, reversing the order of things of last year. when the girls were ahead. Eight were returned as illegitimate. 'There were six pairs of twins, five of which were males and females, and one pair males.
Births occurred by months and quarters, as follows :

Of 56 children born, both parents were returned as natives of Newburyport ; of 130, the fathers were natives of this city, and 116 mothers were natives of this city.
Twelve more were known to have been born in the city, but the data furnished by the physician is not complete enough to furnish the proper record. If physicians and others would comply with the law fully, the record could be made more complete.
MARRIAGES.
The number of intentions filed and certificates issued from this office for the year 1891 was 173, twenty-nine more than for the pre- ceding year.
The number of marriages recorded was 185, thirty-four more than the preceding year. One hundred and fifty-four were solemnized in this city, thirty-one elsewhere.

Average age of the grooms, 27.79 ; average age of brides, 22.84 ; the oldest groom, 79 years of age ; the youngest bride, 16. There were ten grooms uuder 2 1 years of age, one 17, two 19, and seven 20 years old. Five of the brides were under age, one being 16, and four 17 years old.
First marriage of 157 grooms and 168 brides ; second marriage, 26 grooms and 17 brides; the third marriage of two grooms, no bride risking a third term.
Not all certificates issued have been returned for record ; whether they all (ten of them) failed to be married, or, being married in some other city or town, the clergyman or other official before whom they were married has failed to comply with the law, which probably is the proper explanation.
DEATHS.
Deaths occurring in this city for the year 1891 (not including 13 stillborn) were 301, twelve less than last year. The number recorded on the books of the city for the year was 398; of this number, 84 occurred in other places, and were brought to this city for interment
The number of interments exceeded the deaths by 43. The number brought here exceeded the number removed to other places for inter- ment. Of the number removed, 15 were interred in the neighboring town of Newbury.
