Report of Water Commissioners
To the Citizens of Williamsburg:
Your Water Board has past through its first war year and notes that we have been very fortunate in having only the usual routine happenings to make up the work of the year.
On the Water Shed we had noted that an occasional pine tree in the vicinity of the reservoirs would brown and die for no apparent reason, so we called in representatives of the Forestry Division of the Department of Agriculture for counsel and they advised us to clear out the wild cur- rant and wild gooseberry shrubs as some of our trees had become infected with pine tree blister.
Under their supervision your Water Board had this work done.
The heavy rains did some damage to our spillway and roads and these have been repaired.
We had the usual calls for minor services on the pipe line but had no major breaks or large installations to make this year.
Respectfully submitted,
RAYMOND GRAY, Chairman,
MARTIN J. DUNPHY, Collector, CHARLES A. POWERS, Clerk, Water Commissioners.

On item of miscellaneous charges abated, a bill was outstanding against C. I. Hosmer Construction Co., amounting to $190.07. Suit was entered by selectmen to collect same. C. I. Hosmer Construction Co. offered to settle for $87.50, which was refused. When same came up in Court, Judge sitting on case advised Town to accept
37
settlement, as cost of court proceedings would be too great. This settlement was accepted and abatement entered to balance account.
Wish to also call attention to abatements of water charges.
During the past year a number of pieces of property have changed ownership and Water Department was never notified of such changes. Consequently bills were made out to original owners and upon receipt of such bills, de- partment was notified of change in owenrship which neces- sitated abating old account and charging new account.
Would also call attention to people installing new bathrooms in their homes. It is necessary in such cases to file permission with Water Department for such instal- lations. If this order is not complied with, Water Com- missioners may take action which would be detrimental to people doing same.
Respectfully submitted,
MARTIN J. DUNPHY,
Collector.
