While it is true at times there has been a discoloration of the water and an earthy taste, conditions which apply in all communities and over which only nature has control, our ef- forts to provide for the citizens a wholesome supply of water, have, we believe, been successful, there having been but little criticism or complaint made at our office.
During the year much attention has been given to the sanitary conditions in and around our two sources of supply and quite a sum has been expended for cleaning the shores and surroundings of both Great and Little Ponds, and an of- ficer has been employed to police both supplies with good re- sults. We are decidedly of the opinion that the supply is adequate to meet all requirements for a number of years to come and with careful management, will maintain a condition in not the slightest degree detrimental to the best health of the consumer, and it is the desire of the Commissioners to keep these conditions as good as at present, at least until the year 1921, when the bonded debt of the Department will have been wiped out, and we ask the co-operation of all of the in- habitants to aid us with this object in view. Relative to our Little Pond supply we are confronted with certain restrictions placed upon it by the State Board of Health, which they con- cede and we believe can be overcome and we are now in cor- respondence with manufacturers of sanitary apparatus with a view to put it in a perfectly sanitary and healthful condi- tion. This source of supply is an asset of the Town represent- ing a large value and cannot be abandoned. Its use as an auxiliary supply in the event of any accident to the Great Pond station is of the utmost necessity.

At the annual Town meeting in 1914, the Town voted to discontinue the yearly charge of two dollars for meter rental to take effect in 1915. This will materially reduce the income of the Department, and call for a rigid economy to enable it io meet ordinary requirements, but it is believed the change will not to any extent impair its efficiency. It must however be understood that great care be exercised by all consumers to prevent damage to the meters by frost or neglect, as all such repair charges will be billed to the consumer and pay- ments insisted upon. It has been and will continue to be the aim of the Commissioners to produce a condition of supply on the most equitable and economical basis conducive to good conditions and in these efforts we need the fullest co-opera- tion of all persons interested, which we believe should be and will be acorded us. The reports of the Treasurer, Registrar, Collector and Superintendent are appended hereto and com- plete the report.

SHADE TREE AND MOTH DEPARTMENT
I find that while the trees on the public ways are in good condition in regard to the Gypsy Moth that on private grounds the moths have increased.
It is only by the co-operation of the property owners that we can hold these moths in check. It is impossible for the Moth Department to cover all of the infested districts properly with the appropriation made by the town and if those who have only a few trees would give their personal attention to this work it would be of great benefit in pre- venting the spreading of the pest.
This department is willing to give information and as- sistance as to the best way to destroy the nests, etc.
There are a few Brown Tail Moths and would ask that the citizens look over their fruit trees and destroy all nests. Would call attention to the wild cherry trees and advise that all such should be cut down. The shade trees need trimming and the small growth along the streets outside of the villages ought to be kept cut at all times.
There are some trees on the highways that should be removed and the town or property owners ought to begin setting out some young trees to take the place of the old one. It is a better plan to set trees on private property and not within the street limit
