ANNUAL REPORT
WATER DEPARTMENT
A small force has been employed in this department this year due to the small amount of main line extension being laid. Extensions have been made on two streets totaling eight hundred seventy-four (874) feet of 6" pipe, twenty-five (25) services have been laid and two (2) hydrants added.
A large amount of work has been done in maintenance leaks re- paired, curb boxes have been raised, examined, and locations checked, main line gates examined and repaired, hydrants examined and re- paired in the spring and fall and a start made in repainting them.
One man has been employed flushing dead ends from spring to fall and in the winter he watches the hydrants which are most in danger of freezing. Alcohol is used in those set in ground water.
PUMPING STATION
The conditions at the Pumping Station have been fairly satisfac- tory this year. Minor repairs have been made on the pumps and boil- ers, the Station painted on the outside and the Engineer's cottage painted and repaired on the inside and the outside painted one coat.
A special fitting on the supply line from the Barr pump which cracked last year and which was repaired by welding gave away again this year. This has been taken out and a new one is being made to replace it.
STAND PIPE
The results obtained in the repair of the standpipe in 1914 have been excellent as no leaks have developed up to the present time.
HOPPIN HILL RESERVOIR
This reservoir is in good condition and continues to be an im- portant 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. 96,330,000 gallons of water was pumped from Orr's pond on to the filter beds. The valve at the reservoir was first opened July 31, 1920 and closed Nov. 11, 1920.
There is one needed repair which will have to be made in the near future and that is on the gate on the discharge pipe. When this dam was built the valve on this line was placed on the down stream side of the dam and in some manner the pipe leading through the dam became cracked. It was, therefore, necessary to place a gate on the up-stream side of the pipe and the control stem was laid parallel with the slope of the bank. The continued action of the ice has broken this stem from its fastenings so that there is danger of not being able to operate this gate when necessary. What will have to be done is to build a gate house and have a vertical stem rising from the gate and protected from the ice.
MAIN LINE
Eight hundred and seventy-four (874) feet of main line have been laid this year and two additional hydrants set.
SERVICES
Twenty-five (25) services totaling thirteen hundred and ninety- five (1395) feet have been laid this year.

ANNUAL REPORT
SEWER DEPARTMENT
The same care has been taken of the sewer system this year as in the past.
The dead ends have been flushed and the system is in general good condition. The Filter beds were cleaned in the spring and fall and kept clean of weeds during the summer. One caretaker is em- ployed all the year and one additional man eight months.
The sludge is hauled away by the farmers to be used as fer- tilizer.
This year we have used twelve (12) of the beds for six months, four each day, allowing these to rest while the other twelve are in use for the rest of the year. The results have been very good and have reduced the cleaning cost.
During March and April the flow in the sewer was so large that sewer records could not be kept. The average daily flow for the other months was 587,000 gallons. The largest average daily flow being in May, 880,000 gallons, and the lowest in October, 404,000 gal- lons. Based on the average flow per day each acre takes care of 82,500 gallons of sewage daily.
We have continued the work started in 1918 in cleaning the un- dergrowth and hard woods from among the white pines, and as a re- sult are developing some very fine groves of trees. This work adds no expense to the department as it is done by the caretaker during his spare time.
SEWER CONNECTIONS
Total connections Jan. 1, 1920. 1,082 Buildings served 1,269
Connections added during 1920 70 Buildings served 71
Total connections Jan. 1, 1921. 1,152 Total 1,340
STREET LIGHTING
In previous years we have improved our lighting system by substi- tuting five incandescent 60 c.p. lights for one arc light, but this we were unable to do this year due to the inability of the electric light company to obtain these fixtures. This change adds no expense to the city and gives much better service. There are still some arc lights that can be replaced with incandescent lights to a good advantage and this we hope to do the coming year.
The following is a list of the number and kinds of lights in use Jan. 1, 1921:
Forty-five (45) new lights were voted this year but only thirty (30) were installed due to lack of fixtures.

A. B. C. STREET RAILWAY
From the beginning of the year until Oct. 1, 1920 the city con- tinued the operation of a two-man car. On the latter date, the city having purchased an Osgood-Bradley One-Man car, this new car was put in to use under a new agreement with the Interstate Consolidated Street Railway. This car has given very good satisfaction up to the present time as only minor repairs have been necessary.
Only the necessary repairs on the track and overhead have been made this year.
