Rensellar Manufacturing Company for Corey Hydrants and gate valves, $1,512.63 ; Roy S. Barber, driving, develop- ing and connecting 7 21/2-in. wells, $2,168. These contracts were drawn and duly signed and work started immediately by contractors.
The Plainville Land Company contracted to pump for the town an amount of water equal to 30,000 gallons per day except Sundays and holidays up to 9,000,000 gallons per year for five years for the sum of $750 per year. All water used over that amount is to be paid for pro rata by the town per 1,000 gallons.
The first load of pipes arrived in town on September 17th, and from that date shipments were received almost daily. Mr. Morrelli commenced laying pipe on September 29th and continued until the snow and frozen ground obliged him to quit until spring, but not until he had the larger part of the pipe in the ground, all that remains being that on Grove street and on Beacon Square.

ANNUAL REPORT.
In the meantime the wells were being put into condition to use, but not as fast as the Commissioners desired, owing to the changing of location which was required by the State Board of Health. This part of the system caused a great deal of extra work and a great deal of extra expense to the town by the changes that we were forced to make by the orders from the State Board of Health, and after all was completed we were forced to run two day and night tests to satisfy this office of the State. We know that if we had been allowed to get water from the course where we drove the test wells, that the cost would have been less, and the trouble would have been less. But power counts, and the only thing to do was to comply with their requirements. Finally with the consent of the Assistant Engineer of the State Board of Health, water was pumped into the stand pipe on the 31st day of December, 1908, and we have had a splendid pressure on all the hydrants all winter, capable of sending out streams that could do wonderful execution if necessity required. All the work has been satisfactorily per- formed by the contractors, although the pipe laying might have been finished if the parties interested had pushed a little harder; but we can say that the pipe has been well put together and to prove same, call to your notice the fact that in the whole work so far not one leak in the joints has been found-something unusual, our engineer tells us. The hydrants are working nicely with one or two exceptions, the stand pipe is practically water tight and the pump is working finely. The changes at the wells necessitated the raising of the suction pipe above ground on the Mathewson estate, higher than we cared to see them, but this is over- come by the fact that the water from the wells flows by its own force at the pump, thus on a very cold night saving itself from freezing and at the same time doing good by keeping the water clear.
We succeeded in getting fourteen takers on the line, and this, with what water has been run through the hydrants,
32
ANNUAL REPORT.
has kept the water in fairly good condition throughout the winter. With the opening of spring we shall push the work to the finish and connect all who wish to take the town water, which from present indications will be quite a number.

We have prepared the following rules and regulations for takers and have aimed to have them as simple as possible. As the needs arises the Board will make such other rules as are required.
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT.
TOWN OF PLAINVILLE.
I. Each water taker will be required to install at his own expense a meter satisfactory to the Water Board.
2. The minimum charge shall be ten dollars ($10.) per year for water up to 40,000 gallons; and twenty-five cents (.25) for each additional thousand gallons, or fraction thereof.
3. Any consumer using more than 100,000 gallons of water per annum, shall pay at the rate of twenty cents (.20) per 1,000 gallons.
4. One or more stores, or tenements in one building, may be supplied through one meter.
5. 'I wo or more dwelling houses, or store buildings, may be supplied through one meter, and the minimum charge shall be ten dollars ($10) for each building.
6. Private stables and out buildings supplied with water in connection with a dwelling house or store shall be re- garded as part of such dwelling or store.
7. Water rates shall be assessed semi-annually on April Ist and October Ist of each year, payable in advance.
36
ANNUAL REPORT.
8. For non-payment of water rates on or before the first day of the month following the date of bill, the water supply shall be cut off from the building or premises, and shall not be turned on again until so ordered by the Board.
9. Pipe from the street line to the house will be furnished and laid by the town at cost, or, it may be furnished and laid by the taker, subject to the approval of the Board of Water Commissioners.
IO. Meters and connections will be furnished by the Board at actual cost.
Your Commissioners have planned for and built a system not for a few years, but one that will stand the strain for many years to come. We have had the best material money can buy, excellent engineering in laying out the system and good workmanship in putting the system together. In a few years it would be well for the town to think of owning its own pumping plant and the system will be better for so doing.

ANNUAL REPORT.
To the Citizens of the Town of Plainville:
It is with a feeling of deep regret that I leave Plainville, the town of my birth, and where the greater part of my life to the present time has been spent, and I desire to take this opportunity to thank the voters of the town for the many honors they have conferred upon me, assuring them that in the different offices which I have held that the duties have been performed to the best of my ability and for the best in- terest and welfare of the town as in my judgment they ap- peared.
In a public office it should not be expected that every one is to be satisfied and it has not been my aim to do this, but I have always considered the town's interests above those of individuals and have endeavored to govern my acts ac- cordingly.
