And now, after hearing the parties, their allegations, evi- dence and arguments, and after such further investigations as we have found it necessary or desirable to make, and af- ter carefully weighing all the facts and considerations which have been presented or have occurred to us, or which were suggested in the recent opinion of the full court in this case, as elements which ought to be taken into consideration in making a just and equitable apportionment of the moneys to be paid by the several cities and towns as aforesaid, we find, determine and award as follows:
Chapter 439 of the Acts of 1889 provides for the con- struction, maintenance and operation as public works of two systems of trunk and intercepting sewers, which are together adapted to receive, convey and discharge into the sea the entire sewage of a large and populous metropolitan district,
79
RECORD OF TOWN MEETINGS.
embracing the city of Boston and seventeen other cities and towns in the Charles and Mystic river valleys.
The first system, known as the North Metropolitan Sys- tem, and having its outlet at Deer Island, includes Arling- ton, Belmont, the East Boston and Charlestown districts of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Somerville, Stoneham, Winchester, Winthrop and Woburn.
The second system, known as the Charles River System, and having its outlet at Moon Island, takes in the rest of Boston, with Brookline, Newton, Waltham and Watertown.
Both systems are required by the act to " be in substan- tial accordance with the plans reported and recommended by the State Board of Health in its report to the Legisla- ture of 1889."
The North Metropolitan System is accordingly to be all of new construction, excepting a minor section of trunk sewer extending from the Woburn line down to the lower Mystic Lake, which had been built by the city of Boston for the protection of its water supply. This section is to be incorporated into the system by purchase or otherwise, so that the whole of this system will be the property of the Commonwealth and under its immediate control.
Of the Charles River System, on the contrary, by far the larger and more costly part was already built. The city of Boston, at a cost of about $4,250,000, had constructed for its own use a trunk sewer, with the necessary pumping and oth- er works, from the intersection of Huntington Avenue and Camden (now called Gainsborough, Street down to Moon Island; and had thus provided for the sewage of substan- tially its whole territory ( not tributary to the other system ) excepting the Brighton district and an area of some nine hundred acres adjacent to Brookline and the south bank of Charles River. The report of the State Board of Health
80
RECORD OF TOWN MEETINGS.
recommends the extension of this trunk sewer from Camden street up the Charles River valley to Waltham; and that ar- rangements be made with Boston to receive and discharge through this sewer the sewage which should be collected and brought to Camden street by such extension.
The city sewer from Camden street down to Moon Island is thus made an essential part of the plan of the Charles river system ; and, in order to insure the working of the system as a whole, in case of failure to make amicable ar- rangements with the city, the act gives to the Common- wealth the right to purchase or take, or to enter and use by agreement or otherwise, any existing sewer necessary for carrying out the plans and recommendations of the State Board of Health.
Two courses are, therefore, open under the act : first, the city of Boston may continue to own, maintain and operate, as heretofore, the section below Camden street, receiving and handling at the same time, for a compensation to be fixed by agreement or otherwise, the sewage delivered by the section above Camden street ; or, second, the Common- wealth may purchase or take from the city the section be- low Camden street, and so hold, maintain and operate the entire Charles river system as its own.
In the first case, the cost (estimated at about $800,000) of the upper section only, and the expense (including the com- pensation paid the city as above ) of maintaining and operat- ing that section only, would require to be provided for and apportioned under the act ; and, in that case, it is obvious that only that part of Boston which is tributary to the upper section should be made to contribute with the other cities and towns to such cost and expense. In the second case, the cost (probably exceeding $5,000,000) as well as the very largely increased expense of maintenance and operation, of the entire system from Waltham to Moon island, would re-
81
RECORD OF TOWN MEETINGS.
quire to be provided for and apportioned under the act ; and, in this case, it is equally clear that all that portion of Boston which is tributary to the entire system should con- tribute to the cost and expense.
We have found it necessary, therefore, before making the apportionment for this system, to ascertain which of the above courses is likely to be adopted ; and we are satisfied, upon the evidence and the best information at our com- mand, that for the present, and probably during the whole term of five years covered by this award, the section below Cam- den street will continue to be owned, maintained and operat- ed by the city of Boston, but under an arrangement to re- ceive, pump and discharge at Moon island, for an agreed compensation, the sewage from the section above Camden street. We are advised that negotiations to this end, in- cluding also the purchase by the Commonwealth of the sewer recently built by the city from Camden up to Parker street in the line of the upper section, are already well ad- vanced.
We have accordingly made the apportionment for the Charles river system upon the assumption that this will be substantially the course pursued ; and in so doing have in- cluded with the other cities and towns in this system only so much of the city of Boston as is tributary to the section above Camden street. If, however, it should hereafter be found expedient for the Commonwealth to purchase or take from the city the section below Camden street, and at so early a day as to require a revision of this award before its term expires, it will be possible for the General Court, while making (as it must) provision by an increased loan or other- wise to meet the large additional cost which such purchase or taking would involve, to provide also, if no other way appear, for such reapportionment for this system as its changed conditions may then require.

RECORD OF TOWN MEETINGS.
The moneys which the several cities and towns are re- quired to pay annually into the treasury of the Common- wealth are for two distinct purposes : first, to meet the in- terest and sinking fund requirements of the Metropolitan Sewerage Loan which the act authorizes to be issued, to the amount of $5,000,000 for defraying in the first instance the cost of constructing the two systems ; and, second, to meet the annual cost of the maintenance and operation of the systems after they are completed. The amounts of money which may be necessary from year to year for each of these purposes are to be ascertained in the manner prescribed in the act. We have only to determine the proportions in which the respective amounts, when so ascertained, shall be paid in by the several cities and towns.
We have come to the conclusion that there is, upon the whole, no method more just and equitable than to appor- tion the payments on account of the interest and sinking fund requirements of the loan, which represents the first cost of the systems, with primary reference to the total tax- able valuations of the several cities and towns ; and the pay- ments on account of the cost of maintenance and operation, with primary reference to their respective populations ; making, however, in both cases such deductions or allowances in favor of any city or town as upon the facts justice and equi- ty may seem to require. Thus, for example, the valuation and population of areas which are physically so situated that they cannot be drained into these systems have been excluded in favor of the cities and towns within whose limits such areas lie.
The valuations of May 1, 1890, and the national census of that year, have been used for the purposes aforesaid. To the total values of real and personal estate, as assessed by the local boards, have been added the values, as furnished us by the Tax Commissioner, of all bank and corporation
83
RECORD OF TOWN MEETINGS.
stocks and ships and vessels, the taxes on which are paid or accrue under State laws to the several cities and towns.
The act provides but one loan for the construction of both systems, and one sinking fund for its redemption at maturi- ty. It is necessary, therefore, to determine, in the first place, the proportion in which each system as a whole should contribute to the interest and sinking fund require- ments of the entire loan. Each system should evidently contribute in the ratio of its cost. This cannot be exactly known until the construction has been completed, but it can be estimated with substantial accuracy. The detailed esti- mates of the cost of each system contained in the report of the State Board of Health before referred to, have been carefully revised at our request by the Board of Metropoli- tan Sewerage Commissioners, who have already made con- siderable progress in the execution of the work. As nearly as can now be ascertained, we find that the cost of construct- ing the North Metropolitan system will be eighty-five per cent., and that of the Charles river system fifteen per cent., of the whole cost of constructing both systems ; and, as be- tween the two systems, we determine these to be the pro- portions in which they should respectively contribute to the interest and sinking fund requirements of the whole loan.
We next determine, upon the basis before outlined, the proportion or percentage which each of the cities and towns in the North Metropolitan System should pay of the eighty- five per cent., and each of the cities and towns in Charles River System of the fifteen per cent., apportioned as above to said systems respectively ; and, by combining the two percentages, we obtain the proportions in which the several cities and towns in both systems should contribute to the in- terest and sinking fund requirements of the whole loan. The percentages for each system and the resulting propor- tions for both systems are tabulated below.

The annual cost of the maintenance and operation of each system is required by the act to be estimated by the Board of Metropolitan Sewerage Commissioners and certified to the Treasurer of the Commonwealth. This has been done for each of the five years covered by this award, and copies of the estimates are printed in the second annual report of said board, at pages 21 and 22.
It appears by the estimate for the North Metropolitan System, that the progress of the work is expected to be such that the seven lower cities and towns in the system can have the use of the sewer twelve months earlier than the seven upper ones. The estimated expense for this period ($62,400) should evidently be treated as chargeable to the lower seven only, and the balance of the estimated expense for the term ($126,600) as chargeable to all the cities and towns in the system. The apportionment for this system has been made accordingly.
In other respects, the cost of maintenance and operation for both systems has been apportioned on the basis herein- before indicated. The results are tabulated below.
We determine and award that the several cities and towns named in said act, and belonging to each of said systems, shall annually pay money into the treasury of the Common- wealth for the aforesaid term of five years, to meet the cost of maintenance and operation of said systems respectively for each of said years, as estimated by the said board and certified to said treasurer, and any deficiency in the amount previously paid in, as found by said treasurer, in the pro- portions set against the names of said cities and towns re- spectively in the following table:

We find, as a fact, that the first issue of the scrip or certifi- cates of debt authorized by said act was made in April of the year 1890. The understanding of all parties, so far as appears, that the term of five years covered by this award embraces the calendar years 1891 to 1895, both inclusive, seems to us to be correct.
