The receipts for water rates and sales of water for special purposes for the year are $13,978.35, or an increase in income of $1,343.74. We have expended in Maintenance and Repair Account the sum of $4,326.42, or $234.SS less than was expended for this purpose last year.
As Commissioners of the Sinking Fund we have to report the following additions : $4,000 from the Water Department treasury, the annual requirement, and $723.42, the interest on investments. It is our intention, as far as possible, to invest the funds at our disposal in our own town securities, or in deposits in savings institutions. During the past year about $6,000 in town notes
4
have matured, which, with the appropriations for 1899, were invested in a special deposit in the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, bearing interest at 3 per cent. per annumn.
A statement of the Treasurer of the Sinking Fund is annexed.
At the annual town meeting of 1895 the Water Department was authorized to expend a sum of money not to exceed $1,000 from their treasury for the purpose of experiments to improve the quality of water supply and for drilling tubular test wells.
An unprecedented drouth prevailed during the past year, which, according to records at the State House, Boston. is the most severe for over thirty-nine years, the rainfall not one-half the all- nual average, or less than four inches for the entire twelve months. Previous to May 1st the water line in the pond was slightly above the average. the gauge record at that date was at the top of the overflow. From that date to Dec. 31st the available sup- ply rapidly diminished. The loss from leakage, evaporation and pumpage for May was twenty-eight inches; for June eighteen inches; for July twenty-six inches: for August twenty-one inches; for September twenty-four inches; for October nine inches ; for November and December three inches. On the last day of the year the pond level was 119 inches below the crest.
With this rapidly failing supply the Selectmen were requested to discontinue the use of water for street purposes, which was promptly acceded to.
Under these conditions the Board deemed it wise to make cer- tain tests. with a view of obtaining information relating to the available methods of increasing the water supply. We believed the situation of sufficient importance to warrant the employment of expert opinion concerning artesian wells, and a thorough in- spection of the water shed near Buckmaster's Pond was made, the locality in the Trap Hole Brook district, and in other parts of the town. The site finally selected was near the meadows on land of F. L Fisher, about six hundred feet from the junction of Pleasant and Neponset Streets. The State Board of Health were duly notified of our intentions. who sent the Chief Engi- neer of the Board. After making the usual investigations, he advised us to proceed with the wells. The first well was driven to a depth of about forty feet, and the indications both as to quality and quantity were so favorable that the Board authorized the putting down of five additional wells, with a view of ascer- taining the volume or quantity of water.
Five wells were connected. and the necessary boiler and pump were leased. Two engineers were employed, so that full twenty- four per day pumping tests could be made. The pump was run

continuously from the start to the finish of about sixteen days. We were compelled to stop several hours on the night of Jan- . uary 3rd, owing to a break down. The following table will give you an idea of the quantity of water taken from the wells .:-

Commenced pumping December 29 at four o'clock, P. M. The water in the wells was at 0, or the exact level of the sur- face of the ground. The following will give the water line in the wells for each day during the tests.

Average quantity pump- ed per 24 hours. 399,000 gals. Wells remained nearly stationary.
On January 12 a three-hour pumping test was made, the pumps working at full capacity. During this time the wells yielded over 475,000 gallons per 24 hours, without any perceptible difference in the supply.
Acting under the advice of the Water Board a committee was appointed at the last annual town meeting to consider the adop- tion of a meter system. As the question of additional water supply has presented itself, and the possibility of large expendi- tures in this direction, we have deemed it best to defer matters

relating to the meter system for the present, and ask your consent to continue this committee for the ensuing year.
A thorough inspection of our hydrant system has been made during the year, and this important branch of our works is believed to be in good condition. Repairs have been made to several, two have been relocated to conform to new grades of streets, one has been added; the total number in use, 144.
The gate valves have been examined, oiled, and are in good working order.
The reservoir has received the usual attention. and is in good condition.
The Pumping Station buildings and grounds are in prime con- dition, the machinery is in good order and properly cared for. It will be noticed that by the use of both boilers a considerable saving of fuel and cost of pumping, has been effected.
All water rates and construction accounts for 1899 have been collected and paid to the Treasurer. The delinquent account reported in 1898 is in the hands of an attorney, and a full settle- ment is expected. These happy results are in a measure due to the vigilance of our efficient collector.

All extensions to main pipes have been made in accordance with the vote of the town. The usual ten year guaranties, for a sum equal to 6 per cent. per annum on the cost, have been exe- cuted by residents interested in the introduction of water on streets on which these extensions have been laid, with the exception of the extension on Winter Street, from near the corner of Linden Street to the new Central Station, on which the town voted to omit the guaranty.
The contracts for furnishing and laying the main pipes were made with J. T. Langford, subject to all the conditions regarding responsibility in case of accidents, quality of materials, etc., as his former contracts with the town.
