There should be a survey made and a plan drawn of a system of cul- verts and every new culvert should conform to that plan. This could be done by the superintendent.
There should be a special appropriation made to sub-drain State street to Garden street.

ANNUAL REPORTS
On Kent street there is a brick drain formerly used by the Ocean Mills, which could be used as a culvert. It extends nearly to Washington street. For $500 it could be extended to High street, and all the streets joining Kent street could be connected with it, thus doing away with all the cross gutters on Kent street, and would be a priceless improvement.
From Fair street to Huse's wharf, there is no reason why a few of the streets could not be connected with the main sewer on Water street.
All catch basins could be made of cement concrete, thus saving some expense and better results would be obtained. .
SIDEWALKS AND EDGESTONES
The appropriation for sidewalks and edgestones should be increased and cement concrete walks be built in preference to brick or tar concrete.
State street from Pleasant street to Prince place should be relaid; also, Pleasant street from State to opposite Inn street.
The following work has been done in this department during the year just closed, viz: On Washington street in front of Mr. Warton's residence, a cement concrete walk measuring 49 square yards, with a small parking; also on High street in front of Mr. Runnells' residence, of 481/2 square yards. These walks are giving such general satisfaction that I believe there will be a greater demand for them the coming year. 33 yards tar concrete walk on Temple street; 44 yards on Parsons street; and 700 yards tar concrete have been top-dressed in different parts of the city.
Gravel and cinder walks have been built in the following places: Mer- rimac street from Moulton street to car barns; Merrimac street, 200 feet above Plummer avenue; Dove street, lower side, whole length; Low street, 100 feet; Marlboro street from Chestnut street to High street; Purchase street, 200 feet; Smith's court, both sides, whole length; Ship street, both sides, whole length; Lime street from Water to Beck street; Water street, 700 feet; Madison street, 200 feet; High street, 300 feet; Forrester street, lower side from Merrimac to Maple street; Woodland street, both sides, the whole length; Lime street from Milk to Prospect street; Toppan street, 400 feet; Parsons, street, 500 feet; Oak street, 500 feet; Moseley avenue, 500 feet; Oakland street from Monroe to High street, both sides; Storey avenue, 200 feet; Congress street, both sides, the whole length; Olive street, one side, from Monroe to Washington street; Russia street, one side, the whole length; Kent street, one side, from Russia to Merrimac street; Washington street from Winter to Summer street; Warren street, the whole length; Monroe street, 200 feet; Walnut street, 200 feet; Independent street, 100 feet; State street, 800 feet; Dalton street, 300 feet; Hale street, 200 feet; and Merrimac street in different places, 300 feet.
I would recommend that the Citizens' railroad be instructed to change their tracks to a single track on Merrimac street and to remove the loop in Market Square; also to run the track through Pleasant street to Market street, down Market street to Merrimac street, then up Winter street. This would do away with the track on Titcomb and Washington streets, where there is a great deal of travel and the streets are narrow.
I would also recommend that, as the lower landing has practically been

A certain proportion of the patients coming under my care have no set- tlement in Newburyport. I have given to the overseers of the poor a record of these patients for the care of which they can collect $341 or 75 per cent. of my salary.
I have vaccinated 52 pupils of the public schools and given certificates

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR
To the City Council:
I have the honor to make the following report concerning the office of the city solicitor for the year 1909.
The case of the estate of the late Hon. C. C. Dame against the city is still pending. The plaintiff has not seen fit to present the matter for further hearing during the year. The city is losing nothing by the delay.
Cases growing out of the taking of the Artcihoke river as a water supply are in process of litigation. The Marquand case has been tried be- fore the Hon. J. J. Ryan, sitting as an auditor, and is now in his hands. In due time he will report his findings to the superior court. The other cases will be tried later.
Within a few weeks Mr. Hale Knight has brought an action in our police court for $350 to recover money paid under protest for water used by him in his business. His case will be tried shortly.
Suits have been brought against Edward F. Coffin and against John H. Balch, executor of the will of James N. Balch, to recover unpaid taxes. Both these cases are pending.
The suit of Officer Adams against the city terminated in favor of the officer and the judgment therein, with costs, has been paid.
I have collected various small sums for the tax collector upon demand and by suit.
The expenses of the office for the year have been $51.55, more than half of which was paid as one-half of the fee for services of a stenographer in the Artichoke cases.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT E. BURKE,
City Solicitor.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
WATER DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Newburyport:
Gentlemen - The 14th annual report of the board of water commis- sioners for the year ending December 18, 1909, is herewith presented.
Owing to the change made in the time of paying the water rates, also the date for closing our books for the year that they may conform with the city's closing date, our income and expenditures as shown by the treasurer's report are much larger than usual. This will adjust itself in future reports so that the yearly income and expenses can be as easily determined as in the past.
Work in the Jackman Ravine, which was left uncompleted last fall on account of the cold weather, has been finished up, and the grounds in that locality graded. A road has been built from Spofford street, through the woods, by the filter basin to the main pumping station, which makes a very attractive drive and is open to the public. A man has been employed most of the year in trimming and cleaning up the underbrush, and numerous other small things have been done to add to the attractiveness of the city's land controlled by the water board.
A large covered filter, for winter use, has been built in the field above the main pond. This with the filter area at the Jackman Ravine should give ample supply even in the coldest of weather.
Results obtained from the new supply from the Artichoke river have been all that could be expected, the supply being sufficient at all times and the quality excellent.
The difference in the running expenses at the main pumping station since the compressor has been shut down, and the small cost of running the Artichoke river station are very noticeable. As stated in a former report, the saving made in this way will more than take care of the interest on the cost of this work.
A telometer, a recording guage connected with the standpipe by elec- tricity, has been installed at the pumping station. This enables the engi- neer to know accurately the height of water in the standpipe at all times and is a valuable addition to our equipment.
The following is the pumping record for the year:

Sixty-eight applications for water have been received during the year, making a total of 4165. Forty-nine service pipes have been laid, requiring 2118 feet of one-inch cement-lined pipe.
The six-inch pipe in Ocean avenue has been extended 458 feet.
All the fire hydrants have been painted during the year. They have also all been overhauled and tested this fall and left in good working order. Two new hydrants have been set in Storey avenue, making the total in use at the present time 237.
The financial figures for the year will be found in the treasurer's report which is attached.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Directors of the Public Library:
At the close of the library year, November 30, 1908, the total number of books reported was 42,618. Since that time there have been added 1156 volumes, 47 have been canceled or are missing, making the count at this time 43,727.
Registration shows that 7754 individuals are entitled to draw books. Last year the number was 7056. Of this number 1304 also hold non-fiction cards and there are 47 teachers holding special cards entitling them to the privilege of taking out. 10 books at a time, so that the total number of cards issued and uncanceled to date is 8849.
The total number of books withdrawn for home reading was 54,954. This is somewhat less than for 1908, when the circulation was the largest in the history of the library, something over 57,000. The average was about 180 per day, although the largest delivery of any one day was 462 volumes.
Magazines have been bound into volumes or old books rebound to the number of 261, besides several hundred which have been given temporary repairs at the library.
The librarian has collected during the year from fines, sales of old paper, etc., $24.15, of which $21 has been paid over to the treasurer and a balance of $3.14 is at the library. During the same time $20.60 has been advanced for the payment of sundry charges as they were presented, postage, box rentals, teaming and such.
There has been a less number of mutilations of magazines and period- icals in the reading room this year than during some previous years, and fewer stolen outright, perhaps largely owing to the publicity given by the press of the fact that this board proposed to make an example of any one de- tected in this form of mischief, by public prosecution, and as the punishment provided by law besides a fine may be imprisonment for a term of months it very likely would be a serious matter for any one detected. A more de- tailed report of the condition and affairs of the library will be found in the following tables.
Respectfully yours,
JOHN D. PARSONS.
