In 1861 Mr. Otis was employed for a time in the office of the city treasurer, and the following year entered the Quinsigamond Bank as teller, and dur- ing the absence of the cashier on account of illness served as assistant cashier. He held this position for ten years and retired, greatly to the regret of the directors, to devote himself exclusively to the duties of the treasurership of the Union Water Meter Company, an office to which he had been elected in 1868, when the company was formed by his brother- in-law, Hon. Phinehas Ball, and Abram and Benajah Fitts, for the manufacture of the Ball & Fitts water meter. At the death of Mr. Ball in 1894 Mr. Otis was elected president, and the two positions he held until his death March II, 1900.

Mr. Otis was vice-president of the Worcester Five Cents Savings Bank; member of the Worcester County Mechanics' Association, of which he was vice- president and for twelve years a trustee; an active member of the Worcester Society of Antiquity. From early childhood he was a member of the First Unitarian church, and was elected deacon in 1863. He was a life member and for several years was a director of the American Unitarian Association, and he served twenty-five years from 1866 as treasurer of the Worcester County Conference of Unitarian Churches, of which he was later vice-president. He was a man of upright character, generous and kindly in disposition. and highly esteemed in social as well as business circles.

Mr. Otis married, April 18. 1849, Mary E. Ket- tell, daughter of John P. and Maria (Vose) Kettell. She died February 2, 1894. He died March II, 1900. They had three children: John Pierce Kettell, born

March 9, 1853, succeeded his father in business; Mary Elizabeth, born April 27, 1857; James Frank- lin, born May 19, 1861, died March 8, 1884.

(IX) John P. K. Otis, son of the late John C. Otis (8) and grandson of B. B. Otis (7), was born in Worcester, March 9, 1853. He attended the public schools of Worcester, leaving the high school in his second year. He was in the city engineer's office from 1869 to 1871, when he entered the Wor- cester Free Institute, now the Worcester Polytech- nic Institute, and was graduated as a civil engineer in 1873. He was assistant engineer of the Spring- field ( Massachusetts) Water Works from 1873 to 1876, and engineer of the Portland (Maine) Water Company from 1876 to 1878. During the three years from 1878 to 1880 he was an instructor in civil en- gineering in the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He became manager of the Union Water Meter Company, with which his father and uncle were con- nected, in 1880. When his father died in March, 1900, he was elected president and treasurer of the conipany.

The Union Water Meter Company was organized November 9. 1868, and re-organized in 1875 with a capital of $75,000. The first building occupied by the company was a one-story wooden structure in the rear of 31 Hermon street. In 1872 a four-story brick building forty by one hundred feet was added to the plant. The first meter made by the company was the Ball & Fitts reciprocating piston meter, the joint invention of the Hon. Phinehas Ball and Ben- ajal Fitts. In 1876 the company bought the Union rotary piston meter of Benajah Fitts. and in 1892 the company bought the Columbia pattern meter of Phinehas Ball. This meter was especially designed and adapted for measuring water carrying sediment or tending to corrode or form deposits in meters. The company has been among the leaders in its line of business for many years, and it is one of the unique industries in which all Worcester takes pride. Besides the manufacture of water meters the com- pany makes water, steam, air and gas pressure regu- lators, steam fire gongs, chronometer governor valves, hydraulic valves, cement testing machines, cement lining presses, hand feed drills, and special hydraulic machinery. The products of the company are used in every state and territory of the country and largely exported. Mr. Otis was a member of the Worcester County Mechanics Association; the Worcester Board of Trade; the Worcester Society of Civil Engineers; the Worcester Society of Anti- quity and the Commonwealth Club.

In 1887 Mr. Otis was elected an assessor of the city of Worcester and was at once chosen chairman of the board. He served the city in this important office, giving the taxpayers the utmost satisfaction until 1899, when he was appointed to his present posi- tion as deputy tax commissioner of Massachusetts, a position to which his experience as an assessor and long business training admirably fitted him. Mr. Otis has made a thorough study of taxation and is one of the leading experts in this subject today. He was one of the founders of the Associa- tion of Massachusetts Assessors, and was for four years its president and for many years chairman of its legislative committee. He is known to all the assessors and legislators of the state, and his intelli- gent and courteous co-operation with the managers of the corporations of the state in getting them to conform to the statutes, in making their reports and adjusting their taxes, is thoroughly appreciated. Mr. Otis is an ideal public officer, having the tact, com- non sense and integrity that his responsible position requires. Mr. Otis is a Congregationalist.
