Permit me to call your attention to the conditions under which the Sealer of Weights and Measures is compelled to do his office work. The office is too small to properly handle the large amount of bottles, cans and measures of all kinds for which the Sealer is responsible, and I respectfully suggest that immediate provision be made to safely house these articles. The office is too dark, causing all labor to be per- formed at all times by artificial light, a method which makes the best results of my work impossible or difficult. The place is damp, thereby causing a rust to accumulate on all measures, weights, etc., subject to rust, and respectfully re- quest such changes in my office as will obviate all the foregone conditions.
The work accomplished by the department has been for the protection of the public, and I take pride in saying that the city is freer today from unscrupulous dealers than ever before.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM L. PIERCE.
Sealer of Weights and Measures.

The average per capita consumption for the year 1907, was 118 gallons per day; for the year 1908, 89 gallons per day; for the year 1909, 63 gallons per day; and for the year 1910, 64 gallons per day.
From statement of "Water Assessments and Consump- tion," the metering of the entire city shows a saving of approx- imately fifteen thousand ($15,000) dollars in the years 1909 and 1910.
Meters are read monthly and water takers notified if excessive quantity of water is being used.

New edgestone was set where required to complete the street, old edgestone reset where necessary, and the sidewalks repaired. The car tracks were brought to proper grade and repaved by the Boston & Northern Street Railway Company. These improvements make this part of Grove Street in first-class condition.
Howard Street, northerly side, Green Street to Saugus line was macadamized, and the southerly side graded with the old material removed from the northerly side. Surface Drainage was constructed where possible. New tracks were constructed to grade, and paved by the Boston & Northern Street Railway Co.
