WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
The Wayland Water Commissioners respectfully submit the following report.
At the regular meeting March 5, 1917, all members present the board was organized as follows : James C. McKay, Chairman ; Clarence S. Williams, Clerk.
Walter S. Bigwood was reappointed as superintendent of works.
There was plenty of water the past year and we didn't need to buy from the Natick Department. Extensions have been laid off Plain Street near Lake Cochituate known as Shore Acres.
We have many new applications for water from the line on Old Connecticut Path but fear we will be unable to take them all on owing to small size pipe running from Simpson's Corner.
During the past four years there has been an increase of sixty-five services due to the Brown and Stackpole land de- velopment around Dudley Pond and Cochituate Lake with an average of about six dollars per service.
This new business helps out greatly as there are many of the tenements in the village idle which used to be occupied by shoemakers.
