The great friction encountered through the long line of pipe through which the water is pumped to the reservoir makes a great difference in the amount of water discharged there through the day. The pump is already doing about all that the safety of the present line will admit.


To obviate the necessity of running the pump at night which would require additional help, it is proposed to tap the . force main near the station or at Barnard's corner and run an 8 inch or 10 inch pipe to Ballardvale, this would not only relieve the pump, which under these circumstances could be made to do more work but would give an additional line to the reservoir which could be utilized in case of accident to the main line to still keep a supply in the reservoir sufficient for all purposes This line will cost from $15,000 to $17,000, according to the size of pipe used and which route is taken.


The bad taste in the water late in the summer, subjected your board to considerable annoyance and extra expense in trying to remedy it. The water was drawn from the reser-

voir and the basin cleaned, the main pipes flushed and a diver was employed to examine the crib and suction pipe, (both of which were found in good condition). A filter was built across the brook in Bailey's meadow and numerous other things done which were thought at the time might be of some benefit; fortunately this condition of things did not last long and we have been assured by the State Board that although the taste was disagreeable, there was nothing in the water that was deleterious in the least degree.


This trouble cost at least five hundred dollars and as the appropriation for maintenance was reduced last spring a like amount, it was found that our funds were exhausted and that we should need one thousand dollars more to pay help and incidental expenses for the remainder of the year.


The town was asked at a special meeting held in Septem- ber, to authorize the Treasurer to transfer one thousand dol- lars from the receipts of water rates to the waterworks main- tenance account, and it was so voted.


The maintenance account includes all bills and ordinary expenses incurred for work done in this department except- ing construction.


All office and incidental expenses which embraces this year about two months' service of the Superintendent and his helper, while engaged in outside work as engineers in con- nection with the electric R. R., on Main street and various other places.

In addition to the ordinary maintenance of the works and construction as above, the following work has been done by this department :


The entire system of water pipes has been flushed and the reservoir has been cleaned. A filter basin has been built on one of the brooks flowing into Haggett's pond. An oil sep- arating device has been constructed on the outboard delivery pipe from the vacuum pumps. Boiler No. 1 has been re- placed by a 66 inch horizontal tubular boiler. A brick cul- vert 6 by 7 feet was built at Roger's Brook on Chestnut street and the water pipe, sewer and underdrain lowered at that point. The sewer pump house on Main street has been torn down and an underground house built. Owing to alteration of Main street caused by the laying of double tracks, four ser- vice pipes, three hydrants and seven sewer manholes were changed. A larger amount of engineering has been done for other departments during the past year than ever before.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN E. SMITH.
