REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners:
I herewith present my report for the year ending Janu- ary 15, 1895. An examination of the financial report will show that considerable money has apparently been spent on construction account, but owing to the amonnt of work which has been done for private parties, the receipts have been cor- respondingly large, and the cash on hand for construction is probably all that will be needed for ordinary purposes this year. There has been laid 48 feet of 8-inch and 100 feet of 6-inch pipe in town ways. An 8" fire pipe has been laid across the Shawsheen River from Mineral Street to Smith & Dove Manufacturing Co.'s yard. It is proposed to extend this pipe to connect with the 6-inch already laid from Essex Street. Owing to delay in the arrival of castings, this work will not be completed until spring, and will be properly re- corded in next year's report.
There have been received 54 applications for service pipes, and 53 have been laid. The usual schedule of this work is presented. There have been set 38 meters of various patterns. Following list shows number, size, and kind in use.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
There has been $280.67 spent in grading around the pump- ing station, the results fully justifying the expense. The only further expense for construction was for attaching an indica- tor to the pumps.

MAINTENANCE.
We are now furnishing water for 40 stores and offices, 9 dormitories, 15 stables, 6 greenhouses, 6 club houses, 5 churches. 7 buildings for manufacturing purposes, 3 laun- dries, 1 hotel, 3 schools, 1 library, 1 hall, 1 athletic ground, 2 eating houses, 2 depots, and 775 families. The town is furnished with water for the town house, town farm, Memo- rial Hall, town stables, 2 engine houses, 5 school houses, 6 drinking fountains, 4 stand pipes for street sprinkling, and 178 hydrants.
The works have been kept up to their usual standard. The pumps, as will be seen by the records, have fallen somewhat from their usual standard and should receive a thorough overhauling. It being possible to shut down for a short time only, it is neither desirable or economical to make extensive repairs until a second pump has been put in. I would there- fore recommend that a modern high duty pumping engine be purchased and erected.
In making this recommendation I wish to be thoroughly understood. The pumps that are now in are of ample

capacity, in fact will pump all the water that the main pipe can carry with safety. The reasons for calling for a second pump are the impossibility of putting the present pumps into proper condition until some means is provided for furnishing the town with water in case the pumps are not in condition to run. As is well known to the Coumissioners, I have at various times during the past two years been obliged to work night and day to keep them in condition to pump water, and although there has been no trouble but what has been over- come without inconvenience to the water consumers, the anxiety and uncertainty as to what the result might be, has been fully understood by the Board. A further reason is the entire lack of appliances to supply the town in case of a break- down which would take two or more days to repair. The town is now using an average of 325,000 and at times as high as 600,000 gallons of water per day, at which rate a full reservoir would last but two days, and failure of the pumps might mean not only serious inconvenience, but in case of fire heavy financial loss.
Another reason not entering so seriously into the question is the economy of running the pumping station. The com. parative value of modern high duty pumping engines and or- dinary duplex pumps will be better understood by examina- tion of the conditions under which the present pumps are running. We are pumping water at a velocity of 210 feet per minute through a 12-inch pipe line 5 1-2 miles long against a total pressure of 140 pounds per square inch ; of this 140 pounds, 96 is static and 44 frictional. If from any cause, such as a break in the pipe, the opening of a hydrant or stand pipe, an opening of any size occurs, the frictional resistance is reduced and to compensate for this loss the velocity must increase to balance the steam pressure, and if an attendant were not constantly on the alert the probability is that the piston would run through the cylinder heads.
With an engine with crank fly wheel and Corliss valve gear this danger is avoided, as the engine adjusts its speed in the same manner that a Corliss engine does its speed in

mill or electrical work. The difference in maintenance fig- ured on the basis of pumping for last year will be as follows : Cost of compound Duplex pump, $6,000.00, interest
at 4 per cent, $240 00
Cost of 205 tons coal at $4.80,
984 00
$1224 00
Cost of high duty engine, $15,000, interest at 4 per
cent, $600 00
Cost of coal, 120 tons at $4.80, 536 00
$1136 00
Balance in favor of high duty pump, $88 00 per year
These figures are for pumping 117,847,305 gallons of water. As the pumping increases the balance in favor of a high duty engine grows larger. As it will take some time to build an engine and erect it, definite action should be taken as soon as possible.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN E. SMITH.
