This condition is not peculiar to Melrose, but is the same in all cities and towns in the Metropolitan district, some of which I am informed, to meet their annual increased assess- ment, have found it necessary to increase their water rates instead of reducing them as Melrose has done.
The Metropolitan Board are advocating changing the assessment to the cities and towns so that the same shall be

CITY OF MELROSE
levied in proportion to the amount actually consumed by each.
There was passed by the Legislature in 1902, Chapter 391, an Act authorizing the said Board to "measure all water supplied to each of the cities and towns in the Metropolitan water district," and to "report to the next General Court the quantity of water supplied to each of the cities and towns and the manner in which the consumption of the water may be considered in the apportionment among the cities and towns of the annual assessment required for the construc- tion and maintenance of the Metropolitan Water Works."
The time for making the report was extended for one year, and they have just issued-February II, 1904-an ex- haustive report (House No. 1100), in which they strongly recommended, to prevent excessive use and waste of water, the adoption of meters; but in which they also state, that, as Boston pays about 80 per cent. of the entire assessment, unless done by all the cities and towns within the district. it would be of no material benefit to such as had adopted them.
I therefore recommend the postponement of the introduc- tion of meters until such time as the assessments are based upon the consumption.
In this report of the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage Board are many tables, giving valuable information con- cerning the water systems of the various cities and towns within the district, viz: the amount of their assessment, population, average daily consumption per capita, night consumption and leakage, miles of mains, house fixtures and services. From this report the following table is compiled and made up, and from which it will be seen that the "con- sumption and waste" in Melrose is larger than in any other city in the district except Boston.

CITY OF MELROSE
Relaying Pipes.
Of the 18 streets, in which I recommended in my report last year that the water pipes be relaid, 15 have been done, and include more than one half of the 12 inch loop line recommended.
Leading off of a 16 inch main in Wyoming avenue, we now have a 12 inch pipe through Cleveland, Maple, Vin- ton, Orris and Warren streets, and connects with the 10 inch main in Franklin street; this 10 inch main in Franklin street increases in size at Vinton street to 12 inch, and continues through Franklin, Green, Avon, Elm and Linden streets to Porter street, and is connected with a 14 inch main in Main street by a 10 inch pipe through Porter street.
The cost of this work is shown in detail by Table No. I.

General Maintenance.
The cost of general maintenance has been larger than the previous year, and is due principally to two causes: First, the severity of the weather causing an unusual number of services and some mains to freeze, and second, the renew- ing of a greater number of iron services with all lead. These, together with the cost of changes made necessary by the construction of surface drains, account for the increased cost of maintenance.
All stock purchases for the water division is charged to this account - general maintenance- and when used, credit is given, making it necessary to keep what is termed a stock account. Prior to this year, the money value of this account was only reckoned from the value. of stock pur- chased since 1900, but this year I have caused all stock of whatever nature to be collected and have placed some value on the same, and have taken it into our stock account, which increases the amount of stock on hand February I, 1903 by $6,794,58, a detail of which is given on page 53.
47.41 miles of mains have been cared for.
40 breaks on cement mains repaired.
29 joint leaks on cast iron mains repaired.
6 gates repacked.
7 new fire hydrants set.
280 fire hydrants cleaned, painted, oiled and kept free from snow and ice.
61 service leaks repaired.
I14 services cleaned in street.
82 services in private premises cleaned.
93 services renewed with all lead in street.
43 services renewed with all lead in private premises.
49 new services laid.
9 new meters set and 4 discontinued.
95 meters examined and repaired when needed.
