ANNUAL REPORT
WATER DEPARTMENT
A smaller number of men than usual have been employed by this depart- ment this year due to the fact that but little main line and fewer services have been laid.
We have, however, accomplished a great deal of general maintenance work which will be very valuable in the future. Nearly all the service box locations have been gone over on the ground, the measurements checked, boxes lowered or raised to grade and examined to see that they were clear of obstructions and made ready for instant use when needed. It is very necessary to do this every few years as in many cases conditions change and when because of breaks in cellars it is necessary to shut them off in a hurry the box must be free from ob- structions and its location accurately known.
We have also checked up the locations of the main line gates, examined them, and put them in condition for immediate use.
Ninety-six (96) feet of main line has been laid, and twenty-four (24) services put into houses.
Special attention has been given to flushing the dead ends with the result that but very few complaints of rusty water have been made.
Two very thorough inspections have been made of all the hydrants in the city. The spring inspection to see that the frost has not damaged them, and the fall inspection to prepare them for the winter. Those found leaking are repaired and where the water will not drain off they are carefully watched through the winter and the barrel filled with alcohol to prevent freezing.
PUMPING STATION.
The largest piece of work done by the Water Department this year was in the installation of a new connection from the Snow pump to the force main leading to the stand pipe and also to the West Street main line. A review of the circumstances leading up to this installation may be of interest.
When the new Snow pump was installed in 1914, it was connected to the discharge mains by inserting on the Dean pump discharge line a Y branch. This Y remained intact until, for some unknown reason, it split on September 13, 1918. The logical thing for us to do, as we saw it then, was to engage the R. I. Engineering Company, expert mechanical engineers, who installed the first one to design a new Y to take its place. This we did, but through faulty design or construction this new Y broke on February 13, 1919. Fortunately we had not paid for the installation of this fitting and in taking the matter up with them, after many conferences, they agreed to make good and a new fitting of entirely different design was installed at their expense. This Y is now in place and I see no reason why it should not last a good many years.
Previous to this year all the discharge lines from the three pumps were con- nected to the force main to the stand pipe and the street mains on West Street by means of a double sixteen inch (16") Y branch at the junction of these two lines and although this fitting was protected by an automatic relief valve it received undue strain in some manner and split in its short leg, and it looked for a few hours as if the city would be without water for some time, but by covering the crack with rubber packing and iron straps we were enabled after eighteen hours of hard work to start the pumps and relieve the situation. This fitting was of special design and to replace it would be very expensive as well as taking a long time to have it made. We decided, therefore, to try and repair it by welding the crack while the fitting remained in place. This gave fair results, but as the cracks extended through two bolt holes it was not possi- ble to close them and therefore some leaks occurred.
The breaking of the first Y showed us that it would be the height of folly to depend any longer on the old method of taking care of the discharge from the pumps, and that a new direct connection from the Snow pump must be install- ed.
88
ANNUAL REPORT
We had, therefore, designed and ordered new fittings for this connection pre- vious to the breaking of the double Y, and on February 26, they were installed in the force main and later on a connection was made from this new fitting to the West Street main, so that now we have two supply lines from all the pumps and the danger of the city being without adequate water supply is eliminated. These new fittings are protected by installing two pressure relief valves, one at the new special fitting and one on the pump.
What to do with the damaged double Y was the next problem. After much thought and consultation with the R. I. Welding Company, it was decided to take out this fitting and take it to the shop where it could be pre-heated and a thorough job done. This we did and it is now in perfect condition and appar- ently stronger than new.
The Pumping Station pumps and boilers are all in good condition except that the Engineer's cottage and the Station should be thoroughly painted in- side and out the coming year.
STAND PIPE.
The results obtained in the repair of the standpipe on 1914 have been ex- cellent as no leaks have developed up to the present time.
HOPPIN HILL RESERVOIR.
This reservoir is in excellent condition and continues to be an important part of our water system as during the dry season it is necessary to depend on this reserve supply of water for the wells at the Pumping Station.
The gate was first opened on June 30, and finally closed September 12.
MAIN LINE.
Only ninety-six (96) feet of main line has been laid this year.
SERVICES.
Twenty-four (24) new services have been laid this year.
HYDRANTS.
No new hydrants have been set this year and no main gates added.

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 good 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 one addi- tional man eight months.
The sludge is hauled by the farmers to be used as. fertilizer.
We have continued the work started last year in cleaning out the under- growth and hard woods from among the white pines and as a result have some fine groves of trees. This work gives two results. It allows the young trees to develop properly, and prevents the spread of fires which so frequently start owing to the nearness to the N. Y. N H. & H. R. R. tracks.

STREET LIGHTING.
In previous years we have improved the lighting system in various sections by substituting five 60 C. P. incandescent lamps for one arc light, but none of that work has been done this year. There are some places in which the mak- ing of this change would improve the system and this work we hope to do this year.
One 250 C. P. lamp has been substituted for a 100 C. P. and 34 new C. P. lights have been added this year.
The following is a list of the number and kinds of lights in use January 1, 1920:

A. B. C. STREET RAILWAY.
The results obtained by the operation of this road during the past year show very clearly that it was a wise move on the part of the city in purchasing this street railway. The opening of this road tended to relieve the tenement situation in the city as nearly all the houses which had become vacant as a re- sult of the closing of the road are now occupied. The city has also saved quite a sum of money in its transportation of school children.
Only such work has been done on the track this year as was necessary to make it safe for operation. A few broken rails have been repaired and ties put in on several of the curves. A road machine was used to cut the ground between the rails and twelve (12) inches outside down to the top of the rails in order that the snow might bother the cars as little as possible.
