ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Water Commissioners
February 1938.
To His Honor the Mayor and The City Council, City of Newburyport, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The forty-second report of the Board of Water Commissioners, for the year ending December 31, 1937, is hereby submitted for your consideration.
For the purpose of improving, developing and extending the system of public water supply the Board requested and received from Whitman & Howard, Consulting Engineers of Boston, during the year, the following re- ports namely :
1. Study of the proposed extension of the water system to Flum Island.
2. Plans and estimates for the construction of an elevated water tank.
3. Plans and specifications for a new pump at the Artichoke Station.
The W.P.A. Federal project for clearing and cleaning the water shed of the Artichoke River ended during the early fall. This work was of great value to the Board and should be continued not only on this watershed but also around that of the Main Pumping Station, if Federal Funds are available.
Although very little new construction has been carried on the past year, the relaying of approximately 2800 feet of 6 inch cast iron cement lined pipe has practically completed the replacing of the original cement pipe in the system.
During the past year, two employees of the Department who had been pen- sioned have passed away :- Mr. William Hurd, assistant engineer at the Pump- ing Station for twenty-eight years and Mr. Frank Lucey assistant Foreman of Maintenance and Construction for thirty-six years. Two faithful and honest employees whose devotion to duty through many years was outstanding.
The Board also records the retirement of Tr. C. F. A. Hall from the Board. As Chairman and member I'r. Hall was an efficient executive, alert and skil- ful in presenting his point of view, vitally interested in the work and under- stood how to deal with men and how to get things done.
The reports of the Treasurer, Chief Engineer and Foreman give in detail the operation and expenditures of the Department.
Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
Clerk of Board, Gertrude C. Gorwaiz.
Willard S. Little, C. H. Andrews, Thomas F. McGrath, Michael Sweeney, Daniel J. Reardon.
