Under the provisions of the Metropolitan Water Act it is necessary that there be installed in this city at least 411 meters each year on services previously unmetered, and meters on all new services when they go into regular use.
In past years an excess of meter installation has been at- tained, amounting to 872 in number. Because of this, and tak- ing into consideration the present high cost of material and the drafting into government service of much of our skilled labor, the approval of the Metropolitan Water and Sewerage

Board was obtained to a decreased installation of meters for the year 1917. Meters were installed on all new services and 163 were set on old services, reducing the regular quota for the year by 248, but still leaving an excess installation for the term of years since the act became effective amounting to 624 meters.

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM-MAINTENANCE.
Street Mains.
The 1" and 11%" service mains in Bellevue terrace, Mor- rison place and Porter avenue have been replaced with larger pipes on account of inadequacy of the supply through them. The old 2" service main in Mountain avenue was replaced with a 6" main on account of poor supply and the reconstruction of the street. The 4" main in Walnut street between Highland avenue and Medford street was replaced with a 10" main to improve the water circulation and in anticipation of the per- manent paving of the street. The old 6" main in North street between Conwell avenue and the dead end was replaced with 12" pipe laid on the westerly side of the street and was con- nected with the new main continuing northerly to a dead end at the Medford city line. A new 12" connection was made with this main at Conwell avenue and the old 6" main from Conwell avenue northerly was removed from the ground.
All the service pipes formerly attached to the old 6" main were transferred to the 12" main. This work was done on ac- count of the desire of the Metropolitan Water Board to event- ually transfer this district from the high-service to the low- service system, and at this particular time on account of the proposed reconstruction of North street by the highway de- partment.
Defects in the street mains have appeared in nine different places, the most serious being a cracked pipe in the 16" line in Mansfield street, a settled pipe and pulled joint in the 12" main over the B. & M. R. R. bridge in Medford street, and a blow-out in the 18" main in Washington street near Franklin street. In the latter place, in the early morning of December 5, a section of the main of approximately three square feet in area broke out from the side without any apparent cause, but fortunately did but little damage aside from tearing up the paved street and flooding two cellars on a side street. The water pressure on

the main at this point was about 65 pounds per square inch and the pipe had been laid about twenty-five years.
Hydrants.
All the fire hydrants have been inspected, repaired when necessary, and painted. A card index of all hydrants in the city has been prepared, showing the location, make, water pres- sure and other details.
Services.
The older service pipes are giving us the usual amount of trouble from corrosion and other causes and their care occu- pies a considerable portion of our time. On account of increas- ing cost of labor and materials the policy of replacing or ex- amining all old services in streets undergoing reconstruction has, by agreement, been temporarily discontinued and only those known to be very old or suspected to be in defective con- dition have been overhauled. Where permanent paving has been laid, however, the services have generally been relaid.
LABOR.
The wages of common laborers were advanced by the mayor in June to $2.75 per S-hour day, and of skilled laborers to $2.90 per day, but good labor has been difficult to obtain. Our skilled jobbing force has been largely depleted through calls of the men to Government service or to better paying positions, and this labor problem is proving a difficult one to overcome as men not only have first to be obtained but afterward must be trained in water-works requirements before they become of much value to the department.

GENERAL.
New Work.
Building operations have fallen off to a considerable extent and there has been but little call for mains into new territory, the principal being for a residential development along North and Gordon streets in West Somerville, and for manufactur- ing development along Middlesex avenue in East Somerville. Several smaller districts have also been piped, all as shown in tables in this report.
Trench excavation and backfilling, pipe-laying and joint- runing with Lead-Hydro-Tite furnished by the company, were done by agreement with H. A. Hanscom Co., contractors, in the folowing streets :-

The main laid in Middlesex avenue was 20" diameter, the intention being eventually to connect this pipe with the 48" main of the Metropolitan system in the Fellsway boulevard in order to obtain an additional feeder of ample capacity for the East Somerville district. The early arrival of extremely cold weather stopped the work of backfilling the trench on this job and carried its completion over to the coming year.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
Street-Car Sprinkling Connections.
At the request of the mayor, the department has installed seventeen connections with our water mains for the purpose of speedily filling the large tanks used by a street-car sprinkling company in sprinkling and flushing our streets.
These connections are 4" branches cut into the mains, ex- tending to a point between the street car tracks and terminat- ing in a special hydrant having one outlet provided with a 90° elbow to which is attached a fitting adapted to the 5" hose con- nection leading to the tank car.
The hydrant is firmly imbedded in the earth to a point just below the outlet elbow, and from this point to the street surface, about 18 inches, the head and fittings are encased by a 2-inch plank box having a cement bottom. These boxes are connected by 2" pipe with nearby sewer manholes to carry off the drainage and are capped with heavy cast-iron frames and covers set flush with the street paving.
The hydrants are of a type in which the working parts are easily removable for repairs and each branch is provided with a 4" gate valve and iron box independent of the hy- drant.
The hydrants are operated by the sprinkler-car crew with a socket wrench and the gate valves are restricted to the use of the city in shutting off for repairs if needed and for the winter season. The customary drip-valves were removed and the outlets plugged, it being the intention to pump out the hydrants after they are closed for the season to prevent their freezing in cold weather.
On account of other obstructions in the streets many dif- ficulties were encountered in making the connections, but the work was ultimately accomplished at a cost to the water de- partment of $2,751.96, and has operated with entire satisfac- tion.
Pensions.
The name of Thomas Fitzpatrick, an efficient laborer in this department for many years, was placed on the pension payroll on December 29th, at rate of $7.58 per week.
Honor Roll.
The Water Commissioner has placed in the general office of the department in city hall a service flag containing three stars in honor of the young men of the department who have entered the service of the government during the year, and whose names are here given :-

The best wishes of the entire department force have gone with these men for their success in whatever duty they may be called upon to perform, and for their return to good health and condition at the appointed time.
High-Pressure Auxiliary Supply.
I again renew my recommendation for some action on your part toward providing the city with adequate water ser- vice in case of a conflagration. It is well known, through my numerous reports on the matter, that the high-service system of the city has for some years been unprotected by any local means of delivering high-pressure water into it should emergen- cies arise making it needful to do so, and this condition still exists through failure to authorize an auxiliary means of sup- ply.
Although these are times of special conservatism in the matter of public expenditures, I believe this to be a need which merits and should receive your early and thorough in- vestigation.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK E. MERRILL, Water Commissioner.
