The construction of sewers was done under a continuation of the contracts of 1899, with the exception of a short ex- tension on North Main Street which was done by day labor. Central and Phillips Streets sewers were designed and built to collect the sewage in an underground tank at a point on Phillips near Abbot Street, a pump being installed at that place which lifts the sewage to the intercepting sewer at the corner of School and Central Streets. The location, size and length of sewers and underdrains laid during 1900 are :

Record and assessment plans have been made for the above. Assessment accounts have been made for all estates abutting on sewered streets; bills have been sent for all property benefitted previous to 1900.
There were received during the year 74 applications for house connections. Seventy-three connections have been made. Total number of applications, 296; total number of connections made, 279; length of house connections laid during 1900, 3151 feet.
The boilers at the pumping station are rapidly deteriorat- ing. Boiler No. 2 was patched during the year and is in fair condition. Boiler No. 1 will require an expenditure of about $400 to make it safe to run at 95 lbs. steam pressure; even at this it will be but a few years when the steam pres-

sure will have to be cut down. I would, therefore, advise that Boiler No. 1 be replaced with a new boiler built to carry 120 lbs. pressure.
An inspection of the pumping records, shows that at the present rate of increase in consumption, we will be obliged to establish two watches at the Pumping Station or pump more water per hour. The establishment of two watches means an increase in pumping expenses of about $1000 a year. We have ample capacity in our pumping plant for the desired increase per hour; the trouble to be overcome is friction in the force main. At present we are pumping at the rate of 72000 gallons per hour with a friction head of 125 feet. An increase of 33 per cent. in the rate of pump- ing will increase the frictional head to 247 feet, creating a greater pressure than is safe for the pipes in the lower sections to carry.
By laying an 8 inch pipe from H. Barnard's, on Lowell Road, to Andover Street, Ballard Vale, we would practically obtain a second force main and accomplish the desired result without increase of friction.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN E. SMITH.
