WAYLAND WATER WORKS


Water Commissioners' Report


At a special meeting held Feb. 28, 1916, the Board was organized with James C. McKay as Chairman and Clarence S. Williams, Clerk.


Walter S. Bigwood was appointed Superintendent of works.


At a special meeting of the Commissioners April 22, 1916, it was voted to extend 2 in. galvanized pipe on Dudley Road about nine hundred feet to supply six new cottages, and also voted to extend a 2 in. galvanized pipe on Edgewood Road at Shore Acres about fifteen hundred feet to supply seven cot- tages.


As the water in the reservoir became very high colored and distasteful owing to heavy rains overflowing the swamps about the reservoir, it was decided August 1st to take water from Natick and to draw off the reservoir, and fill with new supply.

PELHAM ISLAND BRIDGE


Report of Bridge Committee


The Committee appointed to construct a new bridge over the river on Pelham Island Road have finished their work and ask to be discharged.


The original appropriation in 1915 was $5,500. The Luten Engineering Co. of Springfield were engaged as en- gineers and bids were invited from responsible contractors. The lowest bid was that of the Framingham Construction & Supply Co., $4,565.00, with the additional sum of $98.00 for filling in the old "dry" bridge, and $13.50 per yard for any extra concrete beyond the amount called for in the plans and specifications. The total payment under this contract was $4,663.00 and the fee to the engineers was $819.09, a total of $5.482.00 leaving an unexpended balance of $18.00, to which was added $30.00 by the sale of some of the timbers from the old bridge.


On account of the collapse of the old north abutment, an extra amount of concrete was required and the contractors submitted a bill, approved by the engineers, for 295.10. It seemed to the committee that some question might be raised as to the responsibility of the contractor for the conapse of the abutment, and this bill was therefore submitted to the Town Meeting which voted to pay it.


It was also necessary in order to make a good approach to the bridge from the south, to relay part of the retaining wall of the causeway. The committee having no authority to incur expense for this, the contractor agreed to do the work on the committee's promise to recommend payment for it at


206


TOWN OF WAYLAND


the next Town Meeting. This bill amounting to $276.00 was paid by vote of the Town Meeting.


As frequently happens in any concrete work, there are a few small places where the crushed stone came to the surface at the base of the arch, which will need to be re-surfaced with cement occasionally.


The committee wish to record that in all matters they found the contractor ready to meet them fairly, in fact to leave to them the settlement of any doubtful questions, and we believe the Town has got full value for the money ex- pended.
