It is perhaps needless to say that the Committee has kept in close touch. with the work. Almost daily visits have been made by individual members, and the commit- tee as a whole has made frequent inspections. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Van Valkenburgh, the en- gineer, for the careful manner in which his plans were designed and his faithfulness in seeing them executed. The work has been done in a most thorough and sub- stantial manner, and the Town, for years to come, will appreciate its permanence and durability.
The attention of the voters is called to the report of the engineer, sub-appended to this, also to the financial statement of the committee, which shows the receipts and expenses of the sewerage system from its inception, to date.
The contracts awarded included the complete prepara- tion of the filtration area and the construction of the main trunk line nearly to Thacher st.
It is the plan of the committee, early in the year, to begin the construction of the two smaller trunk lines.

ANNUAL REPORT
one following the course of Thacher Brook to Forest street, or beyond, and the other extending along the westerly side of Ten Mile River as far as Mechanics street, or beyond. It is believed that this will comprise the work for the year 191I.
In order that this work may be carried through, it will be necessary for the town to issue the remaining $100,000 of bonds, authorized by the enabling act of 1909, also to procure authority from the legislature for the town to issue additional bonds to the amount of $200,000 for the completion of the work.
The enabling act stipulates that the construction of this great work may be under the care of a committee whose term of service must expire at the "annual meet- ing next but one after the commencement of construc .. tion." This would limit its period of charge to March, 1912. The committee has gained much information as the result of its labors ; it has a great pride in seeing the work completed, and as it serves gratuitously, should the voters desire, the committee will continue to serve during the year 1912, when the principal portion of the system will be completed.
Articles designed to carry out the recommendations of this committee will be inserted in the warrant for the annual meeting.

REPORT OF SEWER ENGINEER
To Charles S. Holden, M. D., Chairman. Stephen A. Briggs, Alfred R. Crosby, Samuel M. Holman, Everett S. Horton, William J. Luther, James W. Orr, George A. Sweeney, George M. Worrall, Clerk, Committee on Sewerage, Attleborough, Mass.
Dear Sirs: My report and general plans for the per- manent disposition of the sewage of Attleborough, which were submitted to you the latter part of March, 1910, bearing the approval of the State Board of Health, hav- ing received your favorable consideration and later their
292
ANNUAL REPORT
unanimous adoption by the Town, you instructed me to proceed at once with the preparation of specifications and detail plans to cover the several kinds of work it was advisable to undertake for the ensuing year.
The following will therefore, consist of some facts re- garding the awarding of contracts, details of construc- tion and progress of the work up to date.
The work contemplated consisted of building areas at the filtration field and extending the 30-inch trunk sewer from the field to a point near Thacher street, a distance of about 17,500 feet.
It was considered best to build the filters under one contract and the trunk sewer under two contracts, the first section to extend from the field to Tiffany street and the second section from Tiffany street to Thacher street.
Accordingly specifications were prepared for the. fol- lowing amounts of work, which, on the 23rd of June, were duly advertized in the Boston Herald and the En- gineering News of New York as follows:
Attleborough, Massachusetts, June 23, 1910.
Sealed proposals will be received at the office of the Committee on Sewerage, Attleborough, Massachusetts, until 3:00 P. M. of Wednesday, July 6, 1910, addressed to the Chairman of the Sewerage Committee, for each of the following contracts for the construction of a trunk sewer and filtration area.
Contract A.
The construction of 16 acres of filtration areas.
Laying 23,000 lineal feet of 3, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch un- derdrains.

Contract G.
Furnishing 198 light weight water gates, 6, 8 and 16 inch.
294
ANNUAL REPORT
19 light weight screw gates, 15, 20 and 24 inch.
The above were the approximate quantities required.
Proposals for A, B. C and D were accompanied by certified checks for $1,000. $1,500, $1,000 and $200, re- spectively.
The deposits of unsuccessful bidders were returned as soon as the contracts were signed.
On the 6th day of July, when the bids were opened. it was found that for "Contract A," the preparation of the filtration areas, nine bids had been received, ranging from $36,792.52 to $65,501.76. The contract was awarded to R. H. Newell of Uxbridge, Mass., he being the lowest bidder.
"Contract B" received four bids. The lowest was $58,876.00, the highest $98.562.00. Messrs. Bruno & Petitti of Boston being the lowest bidders, to them was awarded the contract.
"Contract C" received three bids. the lowest was $33.189.00, the highest $47,373.20. This was also awarded to Messrs. Bruno & Petitti, they being the low- est bidders.
"Contract D," for furnishing vitrified pipe, received eight bids. One of the bids did not comply with the specifications and was not considered. The highest bid was $5,361.II ; the lowest, $4,295.40, was offered by Brownell Hardware Co. of Attleborough and to it was awarded the contract.
"Contract E," for iron pipe and special castings, re- ceived seven bids. The highest $12,530.47; the lowest bid, $10,714.46, was received from Charles Miller & Son, Utica, N. Y., and they were awarded the contract.
"Contract F" received eight bids, for furnishings man- hole collars and covers. The highest was $872.00; the lowest, $589.75, was from the Concord Foundry & Machine Co., Concord, N. H., and it was given the con- tract.
"Contract G," for furnishing gates and boxes, received
295
ANNUAL REPORT
five bids. The highest $6,017.86; the lowest, $4,093.50, was from the Ludlow Valve Mfg. Co. of Troy, New York, and it received the contract.
The contractors on the filtration field commenced work within a week after signing the contract and con- tinued operations up to the 7th of December, when snow put an end to the word for the season.
There are 26 filtration areas to be built, each area about 138x200 feet, exclusive of embankments. The contractor has nearly finished 24 of them. The under- drains have been laid in all of the areas excepting two and distribution pipe has been laid in five out of nine embankments. The embankments, when completed, will be covered with six inches of loam and be seeded.
As stated in my report, these filters, when completed, will be stripped of all loam down to sand and gravel and thoroughly underdrained. Each area will have four lines of three-inch bell and spigot pipe laid dry, the joints first wrapped with cheese cloth and covered to a depth of four inches with gravel of not greater size than 11/2 inches ; over this is spread pea gravel free from dirt to a depth of not less than three inches and followed directly with the best of material encountered in excavating the trench when finished. The surface of the filter will be level.
Our opinion of the good qualities of the material com- prising the filtration field as was expressed to the Town last spring, was well sustained by the facts disclosed during the laying of the underdrains and construction of the filters. It would certainly be impossible to find any- where material better adapted for the purposes of sew- age purification than that possessed by this field. It must certainly be a source of considerable gratification to the Town to know that this filtration field so admir- ably located and well qualified to care for its sewage, can be reached by a gravity system of sewers.
296
ANNUAL REPORT
The contractor will require about five weeks in which to complete the work of the field.
The contractors on the trunk sewer line, Contracts B and C commenced their work directly after signing the contracts, and up-to-date have built 8,458 lineal feet of 30 inch concrete sewer and have laid 662 lineal feet of 30 inch cast-iron pipe.
This amount covers the following sections of the line :
The distance from the filtration field to a point in what was formerly Knight avenue on the northerly side of the railroad in Hebronville is 4,539 feet. All this has been built excepting 1,143 feet along the railroad where the sewer is yet to be built in embankment and eleva- tion. The railroad crossing in Hebronville has not yet been effected.
Beginning again in Knight avenue in front of the office of the Hebron Mills the sewer has been built through said avenue to South Main street, a distance of 2,190 feet and through said street a distance of 1,010 feet to the beginning of the new location of South Main street, and in this new location about 700 feet, making a total distance in the avenue and street of 3,900 feet.
The sewer has also been laid in Tiffany street from South Main street westerly 440 feet to an angle, when it turns northerly and for a short distance extends through a private street. The total length of the sewer built in this section is 740 feet.
There is also a section of concrete sewer 722 feet long constructed westerly of Dodgeville Mills and 362 feet of 30 inch iron pipe, all this up to date. Iron pipe was used in crossing the railroad at Dodgeville near the wes- terly end of the mill dam and is now being continued along the pond towards Thacher street. All concrete work on the sewers and at the filtration field was sus- pended during the first week in December.
At the rate the contractors are now progressing, it will require until about the Ist of April to lay the re-
297
ANNUAL REPORT
mainder of the iron pipe under their present contract. They will then have about 6,600 feet of concrete sewer to construct to complete the trunk line sewer from near Thacher street to the filtration field.
Both contractors have been fortunate in securing prac- tically all of the sand and gravel required for the sewers and other concrete work either in the trench or in pits near where operations were going on. All concrete on the work excepting for the elevated sewer, was prepared by thoroughly mixing together Portland cement, clean, sharp sand and clean screened gravel ranging in size from 1-4 to 2 inches in diameter, in the following pro- portions : I part by measure of cement, 2 1-2 parts by measure of sand and 4 1-2 parts by measure of gravel.
For the elevated sewer at Hebronville, the mixture was in the proportion of I part Portland cement, 2 parts sand and 4 parts of gravel of not greater diameter than I inch.
All cast iron pipe have leaded joints as carefully and thoroughly prepared and driven as if to withstand water pressure. If any one is interested to see how rapidly water will flow through a 30 inch sewer where laid at a grade of I foot fall in 1,200 feet, an excellent opportunity is afforded by paying a visit to the work going on at Dodgeville.
On the line of the concrete sewer 6 inch slants or inlets have been left opposite every house at a point most convenient for the owner to connect his house with the sewer. Inlets for possible connections have also been left on each side of the sewer about 60 feet apart. Wherever the land adjacent to the street has been laid out in house lots, a branch has been left to accommodate each lot.
Manholes 4 feet in diameter at the sewer and 2 feet in diameter at the surface have been built at each street intersection ; at distances not exceeding 300 feet on straight lines and at all changes in the direction of the
298
ANNUAL REPORT
sewer. Wherever the direction of the sewer is abruptly made, an extra half inch of grade is given in the man- hole in which the change takes place.
The amount of work done up to date on the
trunk line sewer as per the detailed esti-
mate made and submitted is. $43,388.80
Deduct 15% 6,508.32
Amount paid contractors. $36,880.48
The amount of work done up to date on the filtration field as per detailed estimate
made and submitted is .$32,929.12
Deduct 15% 4,939.37
Amount paid contractor $27,989.75
The work during the season has been well inspected. Eight engineers and inspectors have been continuously employed, and for several weeks three additional engi- neers have been engaged in making surveys and plans for rights of ways across private property and changes of street locations. My own visits to Attleborough average five per week.
In conclusion I would inform you that the contractors both on the filtration field and on the trunk sewer have carried on their work well and faithfully in strict compli- ance with their specifications and always in the best of spirit.
Respectfully submitted,
J. J. VAN VALKENBURG.
