REPORT OF THE SUPT. OF WATER DEPARTMENT


Your Superintendent begs to submit the following report :


Your Water Commissioners were very well pleased with the re- sults of metering the water at the Sanitorium, and we hope the town will be satisfied. As the contract for water at the Sanitorium ran out last October, we renewed it for one year at the same price.


The financial showing for the Water Department, for the year, is very gratifying I think, as we have quite a balance in favor of the town. The water rents have been paid up in very good shape you will see by the collectors report, that the bills to July 1, 1908 are all paid, and to January 1, 1909 there is but a small amount not collected.


I will not give an itimized report of tools and fittings on hand as we have about the same amount as last year.


We have installed thirty-three meters to patrons taking water in the town and I am glad to report that they are very satisfactory.

As there has been a call, for some time, for a catalogue of the contents of the Library, we have had printed a complete catatogue, which is a pamphlet of fifty-four pages, for which the small price of ten cents is charged. It is hoped that the public will avail them- selves of the opportunity to obtain them, as we think they will prove to be a great convenience.
