Water Commissioners' Report.
The Water Commissioners herewith present their annual re- port.
During the past year extensions have been made to the main pipe amounting to 9,773 feet, as follows, viz. :
From Mr. Higginson's place to Mr. Adam's place, 4,246 ft. 6 in. pipe,
Appropriation, $3,200.00
Cost, 2,864.00
From Mrs. Roach's place to John Kennedy's place, 1,150 ft. 4 in. pipe,
Appropriation, Cost,
$900.00
696.96
From Main Road near Mr. Storey's to Mr. De Normandie's place, 654 ft. 4 in. pipe,
Appropriation, Cost, 595.00
$595.00
From S. Rodman Snelling's place to Daniel H. Sherman's place, 2,278 ft. 4 in. pipe,
Appropriation, Cost, 1,368.39
· $1,400.00
From corner near Triangular Cemetery to Isaac N. Mac- Rae's place 600 ft. 4 in. pipe,
Appropriation,
$400.00
Cost, 448.66.
99
From stone watering trough to Mrs. Adeline F. Adam's place, 845 ft. 6 in. pipe,
Appropriation,
$800.00
Cost, 845.92
From Mr. Tasker's place to house of Russell G. Crooke's place,
Appropriation, Cost, 72.76
$125.00
A substantial house of grey brick has been built over the screen well at the Reservoir at a cost of $179.
The machinery at the Pumping Station has done good service during the year.
Owing to the scarcity and quality of coal, no duty has been figured on the running of the pump during the year.
During the first part of the year hard coal was used, thus doing away with smoke and soot nuisance, but later in the season it became necessary to use any kind of fuel that could be obtained.
We believe the Town should at no distant date, to guard against accident, provide itself with a second pump, like the one we already have. With such an addition, the works at the Pumping Station should be sufficient for the next fifteen years.
There have been but three leaks on the main pipe during the year, two of which were caused by the lightning striking a tree and following down into the pipe.
The fence and grading about the Pumping Station lot has been completed
Meters.
The Commissioners are of the opinion that the time has come when the water works should adopt the meter system, whereby each consumer pays for the water used instead of the number of fixtures in the house or houses and cattle in the barn. In this way a more equitable rate will be established, and we believe money saved to the town.
100
We recommend that the town consider an appropriation of $4,000 for the same, at the annual meeting, to be paid for by a bond issue the same as an extension of the pipe.

Report of the Committee on Claims.
The Town has had no active litigation during the past year. Three suits which were pending at the time of our last annual report have not yet been disposed of by the courts : Francis Smith vs. Town of Lincoln; Frank M. Dempsey vs. Town of Lincoln and County of Middlesex and Andrew J. Dougherty vs. Town of Lincoln and County of Middlesex. The last mentioned of these suits was inadvertently ommitted from our last report. It is a petition for damages on account of laying out the road in East Lincoln, filed October 11, 1901, in the Superior Court for the County of Middlesex. It is similar in character to the other suits growing out of that transaction.
One new suit has been brought during the year, that of Francis Smith vs. Town of Lincoln, on account of locating anew the road in front of his house by order of the County Commissioners. This suit was begun by a petition filed in the Superior Court for Middlesex County, August 7, 1902. It is not likely that the Town will be under any liability with reference to this suit as nothing has deen done for more than two years to carry out the order of the County Commissioners.
The suit of Michael Dempsey vs. Town of Lincoln and County of Middlesex, mentioned in our last report, has been settled by the payment to the estate of the petitioner of the sum of $400. The claim of Mary Ellsworth for damages to two estates owned by her in East Lincoln, occasioned by laying out the new road and by relocating the old one in that locality has been settled by the payment to her of $300.
114
The Town received from her a release of all further demands.
We have instructed counsel for the Town as to his course to pursue with respect to the two remaining cases arising out of the laying out of the new road in East Lincoln, the cases of Frank M. Dempsey and Andrew J. Dougherty.
The suits of Charles S. Smith vs. Town of Lincoln and of Francis Smith vs. Town of Lincoln for damage caused by the taking of their land on the westerly shores of Sandy Pond by the Water Commissioners in 1896 have been settled, the first for the sum of $350 and the second for the sum of $150. The settlement was on the basis of that in the Tar- bell and Warren cases. This leaves but one suit now pend- ing on account of takings of land by the Water Commision- ers at that time, the suit of Francis Smith vs. Town of Lin- coln for damages occasioned by the taking of a lot adjoining the old engine house lot in order to furnish a proper site for the new pumping station.
We find, however, that there are a considerable number of unsettled claims for land taken by the Water Commission- ers in 1896 upon which no suits have been brought. The land was taken from the claimants under the provisions of our original water act, Chapter 188 of the Acts of 1872, which virtually limits the time for bringing suit to one year after the land is taken. Obviously the town has a technical defense to all claims of this character for the reason that the owners have allowed their rights to lapse. But we do not recommend that the Town avail itself of this defense as the Town certainly has no desire to get something for nothing from anyone. There is an added reason why these claims should be settled. In 1898 two of the then claimants, Dr. George G. Tarbell and Mrs. Helen V. V. Warren arrived at a compromise with the Town by which the Town retained all substantial rights needed for the protection of the purity of the water and surrendered everything not needed for that purpose. It is better that the title of the Town in the strip of land around the shores of Sandy Pond be made uniform
115
throughout. As matters stand, the title of the Town to lands in cases already settled is different from its title to the other lands taken at the same time. To remove this ob- jectionable feature of the Town's ownership, Chapter 148 of the Acts of the year 1900 was passed to enable the Town to compromise claims in the same manner that the Tarbell and Warren cases were settled.
Accordingly we have recently communicated with the selectmen upon the subject and have recommended that action be taken looking to the compromise of all of the unsettled claims for land taken around Sandy Pond in 1896, upon the same basis as in the Tarbell and Warren cases.
