APPROPRIATIONS.
The Town appropriated for the year 1901, for hydrant service $4,550.00 and for the "Water Loan Sinking Funds " $5,120.00.
WATER SUPPLY.
The Town has been very fortunate the past year in having had copious rainfalls, thus enabling us to supply all water takers with a sufficient quantity. In regard to a future supply your committee appointed two years ago to consider this subject, and by vote of the town last year still continued in office, are doing effectual work and will probably report to the town soon, giving facts, plans and estimates. We do not desire to anticipate their report and therefore make no recommendations.
The reports of the Treasurer, Superintendent and Collector are herewith submitted with our approval.
