There have been no notable bequests or donations to the library during the past year. Very necessary repairs on the building, particularly in the matter of painting, are now in process, as well as some minor alterations, notably the putting into condition a hitherto vacant or infrequently used room for the use of the Directors. Perhaps in time the room formerly at the special disposal of the Board for its meetings may be utilized for the

WATER DEPARTMENT
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council,
City of Newburyport.
Gentlemen :---
The twenty-seventh annual report of the Board of Water Com- missioners for the year ending December 16th, 1922, is herewith presented
As usual a major portion of our work has been renewal work, in pre- paration for rebuilding of streets. In doing this work it has been thought best, in many cases, to relay with larger pipes, which necessarily carries with it larger hydrants, valves, etc., all of which runs into time and money.
Following the recommendations of the Fire Underwriters the four inch cement lined pipe in Charter St. has been relaid with twelve inch cast iron pipe, this pipe was carried through Fair St. into Orange St., it being our intention to continue this line through Milk St. the coming summer. A new six inch hydrant was installed midway between State and Fair Streets, and all service pipes were renewed.
In Merrimac Street all service pipes have been renewed from Chain Bridge to Strong Street. Larger cross street connectoins have been put in as follows: Butler St. from 1in to 6 in; Merrimac Ct. from 1 in to 6 in; California St. from 1 in to 6 in .; and Broad St. from 6 in to 12 in.
In Merrimac Ct. the small pipe was replaced with six inch pipe a distance of 93 ft. 7 ins.
All service pipes have been renewed in Market Square, and a six inch pipe laid in Railroad Ave. a distance of 162 feet, and a 6 in hydrant placed near the Central Fire Station.
In Water Street all service pipes have been renewed from Market Square to the City Railroad Crossing.
On Brown's' Wharf the two inch pipe running to the Towboat Co., which was continually giving trouble, was relaid with 495 feet of four inch, cast iron pipe and a 4 in hydrant palced near the head of the wharf.
The following figures give further detail of the year's work:
36 new service pipes installed, requiring 1,371 feet 2 inches of pipe. 240 service pipes relaid, requiring 4,446 ft. 1 in of pipe.
33 breaks in service pipe repaired.
10 breaks in main pipe repaired.
13 new gates installed.

ANNUAL REPORT
CITY SOLICITOR
December 28, 1922.
Gentlemen of the City Council :
Newburyport, Mass.
In accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Ordinance, I am reporting to you with reference to cases now pending against the City of Newburyport.
The case of Tolman et als vs. City of Newburyport is the suit of the former master and matron of the Poor Farm for increased salary which was never paid. In this case the Justice of the Superior Court has in- timated that he intends to find in favor of the City, and I understand that the Plaintiffs are prepared to go to the Supreme Court.
The City paid John F. Bryant, an injured employee, under the pro- visions of the Workman's Compensation Act, $13.92 a week because of his incapacity. At a hearing held December 3, 1922, the Industrial Accident Board decreased the same to $5.22 per week, and I have reason to believe that we will soon be in a position to terminate our payments thereunder.
The following tort cases are pending against the City for alleged highway defects. George P. True sues for $3,000 for injuries received in front of the Strand Theatre, because of an alleged highway defect con- sisting of a slippery sidewalk due to wet paint applied by the theatre em- ployees.
Elizabeth B. Collins sues the City for $4,000 for injuries received from an alleged defective sidewalk on Prospect Street near the foot of Allen Street.
Katie B. Merrill sues the City for $10,000 for personal injuries re- ceived through an alleged highway defect in front of the W. D. Hannah Shoe factory on Pleasant Street. George B. Merrill for consequential damages because of injury received by his wife, Katie B, Merrill in the same accident, $3,000.
There are also several claims before the Committee on General Gov- ernment by M. Abbie Cashman for an injury through an alleged highway defect; Bernard C. McQuade and Peter Kakakos for damages occasioned by service water.
There are also claims from Mrs. Maria Hallissey and Hazel Mackenzie for injuries received through alleged highway defects on Oakland Street and Market Square respectively. Both plaintiffs live in Amesbury. And for Vincent W. Burke of Lynn for injuries received through alleged high-

way defect on Merrimac Street.
In the case of the City of Newburyport vs. Mary T. Greenough we have been working upon a proposition of settlement and unless the same is forthcoming within a short time we will proceed to trial.
During the year we have cleared up many matters that were pending against the City, and the Eminent Domain proceedings for the Park and School-house have taken up a great deal of the time of the City Solicitor. We are also making application to the Land Court to register the title to the Plains Schoolhouse lot, and I believe the Mayor will recommend the sale of same at Public Auction if we prove our title thereto.
The City will probably have some litigation during the next year be- cause of our Land Siezure at the North End, for the reason that some of the land owners are dissatisfied with the award which the City Council has made.
Respectfully yours,
JAMES F. CARENS Jr. City Solicitor
