ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Water Commissioners
January 1939
To His Honor the Mayor and the City Council,
City of Newburyport, Mass.
Gentlemen :
We submit for your information and approval, the forty-third annual re- port of the Board of Water Commissioners for the year ending December 31, 1938, together with the supplemental reports of the Treasurer, Chief Engineer and Foreman.
During the past year several important improvements and additions have been started or completed. With the approval of the Council the department borrowed $58,000 on a construction loan for the erection of a 500,000 gallon elevated tank, necessary water mains and a new pumping station at the Arti- choke Basin. This construction is now being carried on with the assistance of the P. W. A. grant of $45,000. The judgment of the board in constructing a new pumping station was again substantiated by the flood of September last when the existing Artichoke Station was again threatened. The plans for all new construction were prepared by Whitman & Howard consulting engineers of the Board, who are also supervising the actual construction work.
The W. P. A. project of improving the lower Artichoke Basin started dur- ing the early summer and which, with the whole-hearted co-operation of Thomas McDonald, director of the W. P. A. program, is progressing satisfactorily not- withstanding the many obstacles which have confronted the workers. These improvements, when completed, will further develop our system into a modern, up-to-date and efficient water plant.
A new five year contract was drawn up with the Haverhill Electric Com- pany for power furnished at the Artichoke Station. Through the friendly and cooperative spirit of both parties a very satisfactory agreement was reached.
The maintenance division was further modernized by the purchase of a truck and body, specially designed for construction and maintenance work, also to facilitate working on paved roads and frozen ground an air compressor with complete equipment was added to the division.
The Board records the voluntary retirement of Mr. C. H. Cutting as a member of the board. Those who had the privilege to work with Mr. Cutting fully realize the loss his retiring meant to the city. There are too few men of

his calibre, experience, character and wise judgment who are willing to serve their municipality only for their civic pride.
May we thank you for your cooperation and also pay tribute to the loyal employees who continue to carry on the high traditions of the department.
Respectfully submitted, Board of Water Commissioners WILLARD S. LITTLE
Clerk of Board, Gertrude C. Gorwaiz.
