WATER COMMISSIONER


WATER INCOME


The decrease in Water Income is due to the reduction in the water rates which went into effect February 1st. The rate on the first 300,000 cubic feet used in a month was reduced from eighteen cents per hundred cubic feet to sixteen cents per hundred cubic feet, resulting in a saving of over $50,000 to water consumers.


PRESSURE CONTROLLERS AND SHUT-OFFS


A contract was awarded, and completed during the year. to the Julian D'Este Sales Corporation of Charlestown, Massa- chusetts, to furnish and install three thousand Pressure Con- trollers and Shut-offs. The primary purpose of these valves is to reduce and control the water main pressure to a normal working pressure suitable for household needs so that water may be drawn from faucets in a full-bodied stream without splashing and noise that accompanies uncontrolled pressure ; so that household piping will not be strained ; so that faucets will not drip and washers constantly need replacing. This valve will give life-time service and will result in many savings to the water consumer.


CONSTRUCTION AND RENEWAL


All main pipe construction during the year 1935 was com- pleted under the Emergency Relief Administration, Works Progress Administration, and the Public Works Administra- tion.


Over 7000 feet of 12" cast iron pipe was laid under P.W.A. Docket No. 7636. Anthony Ross & Sons were the contractors.


The streets laid and relaid under this docket were: Kim- ball, Lowell, Crown, Porter, Glen, and Joy Streets.


All other work completed under the E. R. A. and W. P. A. is shown in the preceding table.


CONCLUSION


I wish to thank His Honor the Mayor, the Board of Alder- men, the employees of my department and all others with whom I have come in contact in the performance of my duty, for the kind cooperation I have received at their hands.


Respectfully submitted,


JOSEPH P. PHILLIPS, Water Commissioner.

TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR, AND THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN :


Respectfully the Recreation Commission reports that the operation of the service under the Commission during the year 1935 has been beset with difficulties and impediments that are well-known to your honorable body. These conditions underlie and control the entire procedure of this Commission during that year, and also the operation of its service. Therefore there seems little need for reporting in detail the affairs of the Com- mission for that period.


The successive curtailments and withdrawals of appropria- tions by the appropriating body, affecting this Commission, reached a point, during 1935, which amounts to an undermin- ing of what had been previously built up and carried on. Mean- while, sponsorship of Recreation projects under the Federal


129


RECREATION COMMISSION


Emergency Relief Administration and Federal Works Progress Administration continued. The appropriating body indicated its intention, and actually attempted to have these projects supplant the regular Municipal service -- an arrangement which violates the arrangement with the Federal Government, and is not calculated to serve the purposes for which the service exists under this Commission.


Those workers under the Municipal service who have been left in the employ of the Commission, as result of the situation explained above, have continued as hitherto their zealous and efficient work; and this circumstance has been the saving fea- ture of the 1935 situation.


The Recreation Commission again respectfully recommends that the process of discontinuing the Commission's service be stopped.


Respectfully submitted for the Commission by


MARY M. McGANN, Chairman.
