SEWER DEPARTMENT
The usual care and attention has been given the sewer system this year. The dead ends have been flushed and the system is in per- fect condition.
The Filter Beds were cleaned in the spring and fall, and kept clean of weeds during the summer. One caretaker is employed all the year, and two additional men during the summer season.

RIFLE RANGE.
With the construction of a range house; installation of telephones; erection of targets; and other incidental work, the Rifle Range was completed so that Company I had the use of it before they were called into active service.
STREET LIGHTING.
It was our intention this year to continue the work started last year of substituting incandescent lights for arc lamps in certain sections of the city. By doing this, we can install five 60 C. P. lights in place of one arc lamp, at no additional expense, and thus improve the lighting of our streets. We were prevented in doing this owing to the fact that the Electric Light Company could not get the necessary wire and fixtures; but hope for better results this year.
The following is a list of the number and kinds of lights in use January 1, 1918:
Kind
Arc
Number 17 Sunset to 1:30 A. M.
Arc 5 1:30 A. M. to daylight.
250 C. P. Incandescent 45 Sunset to 1:30 A. M.

BRIDGES.
We have now three bridges which need our serious attention; Mechan- ics Street, County Street near the State Line, and Holden Street River bridge.
The condition of the material and labor market is such that I cannot make an estimate of the cost of this work that would hold for any length of time, I will, therefore, make the estimates when these matters are taken up.

ANNUAL REPORT
DRAINAGE.
Gardner Street Drain.
It is absolutely necessary, if we are to avoid law suits, that a new drain be constructed on Gardner Street, from Thacher Brook westerly to Pine Street. Estimated cost, $3,300.
Emory Street.
The present drain on Emory Street, from Brook Street easterly to Forest Street, is entirely inadequate to take care of this drainage area, and I earnestly recommend that a new drain be laid. Estimated cost, $3,500.
Ten Mile River.
The Ten Mile River, from County Street southerly to near East Forth Street, has become so badly filled up with sewerage and factory wastes that it is a constant source of complaint by the abutting owners, and I earnestly recommend that this matter be given early attention. An esti- mate cannot be made until it is decided how far to go in the matter.
Thacher Brook.
Thacher Brook, from Brook Street easterly to near Forest Street, is also a constant source of complaint as to its filthy and unhealthy condition, and the only way to relieve this situation is to construct a covered drain.

RIFLE RANGE.
Although the Range is completed, there should be an appropria- tion made to cover the taxes and up-keep. I, therefore, recommend $100 for this purpose.
In conclusion, I desire to express my appreciation to His Honor, the Mayor, the members of the Municipal Council, and other City Officials, for courtesies and assistance rendered me during the past year. To the Employees of this Department, and other departments, I also extend my thanks for their co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
