9. The Commissioners reserve the right to restrict the use of hose or fountain, to shut off the water in all cases when it becomes necessary to make extensions or repairs, or for vio- lation of any of the regulations, or whenever they deem it expedient.
10. The regular rates for the use of water shall be payable in advance on the first days of January and July of each year, except where water is supplied to manufacturers by special agreement. In all cases of non-payment of the water rates within ten days after the same is due, as well as for any violation of these rules and regulations, the supply will be shut off, and the water will not again be let on except upon the payment of the amount due, and the sum of two dollars for shutting off and letting on the water.
11. The Water Commissioners reserve the right to change the water rates at any time, except in case of dwelling- houses, and established special rates.
12. For business requiring large quantities of water, and all supplies not enumerated in the tariff of rates, special rates will be made.
13. Parties using water for manufacturing or domestic purposes can erect hydrants on their grounds or standpipes
120
in their building to be used only as protection against fire, without additional charge for water.
14. All service pipes will be put in by the Water Com- missioners. All applicants for the introduction of service pipes into their premises are required to make written appli- cation therefor at the office of the Water Commissioners. The Commissioners may then proceed to lay the necessary service pipes to the interior of the building, provided all expenses incurred beyond the line of the street shall be paid by the owner of the premises, who shall thereafter maintain and keep the same in good order at his own cost; and the same shall be at all times subject to the control of the Com- missioners. All applicants for whom the pipe is laid will be charged for the use of one faucet whether the water is used or not, unless they pay all expense that has been incurred in laying such service pipe, and in no case will the main be tapped more than once for the same premises, unless the additional expense is borne by the owner.

REPORT OF TOWN TREASURER.
The salient points of the Treasurer's report for the year 1902 are : An increase of town debt, an increase of outstand- ing taxes, and incidentally a depleted treasury.
The increase of town debt is roughly accounted for as follows: To the overdraft, estimated at $4,000, add the amount of bills due and unpaid, $952.25, making a total of $4,952.25 ; from this sum deduct $2,480 appropriated for the reduction of the town debt, together with $900 received for the sale of steamer ; the remainder will very nearly represent the amount of increase of debt.
The point which the Treasurer has endeavored more than once to impress upon the tax payers is the item of outstand- ing taxes. We have now reached the point predicted four years ago where we must use stringent and even caustic measures for the collection of taxes. The amount outstand- ing has increased year by year without exception for the past thirteen years until it has now reached the danger limit.
Assuming that the receipts of taxes and the orders drawn by the Selectmen will be in the same proportion as heretofore, and remembering that $20,000 of the $38,000 we are author- ized to borrow is already pledged, we invite a careful study of the table " Condensed Monthly Statements."
With only $18,000 available beside the tax receipts, com- pare the column "Taxes " with the opposing column "Orders of Selectmen " for the corresponding period, deducting the
128
latter from the former, and you will readily see that after about four months our taxes become our only source of revenue.
It appears folly to your Treasurer that we should be com- pelled to withhold the payment of bills for three months or more pending the receipt of funds wherewith to pay them when sufficient means are or at least should be available.
The usual tables follow.
