With the advancement which has been made in the last half century in hydraulic engineering, it would be a comparatively easy task to bring an abundance of water from Lake Winipiseogee to Boston. In the matter of expense, it would, probably, not be more burdensome to the rich New England metropolis and the cities and towns which would gladly join with her in the enterprise than it was

REPORT OF THE WATER BOARD.
for the city of Portland to take water from Sebago lake. Much of the opposition which would inevitably be encountered from the New Hampshire authorities might possibly be overcome by an arrange- ment for allowing the cities and towns along the line of the main conduits to share in the supply of water. By the building of capacious reservoirs along the way for the storage of water in times of abundant supply, the injury to riparian rights would be reduced to a minimum.
It is estimated that there is a population of about 900,000 resid- ing within ten miles of the State House. This population is likely to double within the next twenty years. It is the opinion of those best informed on the subject that all the available waters, within what has hitherto been deemed a reasonable distance from Boston, are insuffi- cient for a population of 1,500,000. Confronted with such a condition of things, it would seem as if no time should be lost by Boston and her suburbs in taking preliminary steps towards securing a permanent and satisfactory water supply from a more remote source than has yet been resorted to.
The foregoing suggestions, relative to the general subject of water supply, are incorporated into this report for the purpose of drawing attention to a matter which must soon receive the careful and intelli- gent consideration of our people. We have discussed the question from the Boston standpoint chiefly, for the reason that Somerville is dependent upon Boston for her water, and the richer and more popu- lous city must take the initiative in any movement for obtaining a new metropolitan water supply.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion, we desire to thank the superintendent, clerk, engineer, and all other officers and employees of the water department for the fidelity and zeal with which they have performed their various duties and labors during the past year.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Somerville Mystic Water Board:
GENTLEMEN,-The annual report of the superintendent of the Somerville Mystic works is respectfully submitted, giving a detailed account of all work performed during the year 1892. The tables hereto annexed show the sizes and locations of extensions of main pipe and of the pipe relaid, and also the hydrants, standpipes, and drinking fountains set.
The inventory, of stock and tools on hand is included.
DISTRIBUTION MAINS.
The most important work done was the taking out of the old eight- inch cement main on Somerville avenue from Cambridge line to Cen- tral street, and the laying of twelve-inch cast-iron pipe in its place.
Laterals of cast-iron pipe were laid and connected with the mains. in all of the side streets on the line of this pipe, thus removing from the principal business portion of our main thoroughfare an element of great danger, and one causing much anxiety to those having the: water works in charge.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
I would especially call your attention to the condition of pipe in the streets mentioned in the following table. . No less than eighty- six breaks occurred during the past year, being an increase of thirty- five breaks over that of last year. When these are uncovered they will be found to be in a perilous condition.
As much as possible of the old cement-lined pipe should be removed each season and cast-iron pipe substituted. By so doing, and by employing strong material for new work, a marked diminution in the number of bursts and leaks will be observable and greater safety secured in case of fire.
There were on these mains the following bursts : -
hree were on the 3-inch mains; 31 were on the 4-inch mains ; 47 were on the 6-inch mains; 5 were on the 8-inch mains.
