This balance is occasioned partly by the larger than usual amount of tax abatements, also the amount of money received from the State for loss of taxes on State land, and the estimated income from the Water Department, have been used by the Assessors in the making up of the tax rate.

REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT
The Water Department has had several new patrons added during the year and has been obliged to install a new water cylinder to re- place the old one that was badly cracked and liable to give way at any time ; it also required much additional work and fuel to do the extra pumping required on account of the leaks in the cylinder you will notice this cost a little over $300.
Considerable expense was incurred to thaw out frozen service pipe, particularily on the line from the store of John C. Boyle to the house of Morris Menges. This pipe line has given trouble several winters, and should either be replaced with a larger pipe, or at least dug up and put down a foot or more lower.
There are now in use 52 meters by 50 patrons of the Water System, and 51 connections of patrons paying for unmetered water, making a total of 101 patrons, of this number three of the metered and five of the unmetered were not using water at the close of the year, February 29, 1912, making a total of 94 connections in use at the beginning of the new financial year.
According to the records of Edward Viner, Engineer, at the pumping station, there was pumped during the year ending Dec. 31, 1911, 34,890,832 gallons, the largest amount pumped in any one week was the first week in July 956,456 gallons, and in any one day on July 3rd, 254,128 gallons were pumped. Through the meters and hydrants at the Sanatorium 21,716,312 gallons, and about 3,251,130 gallons through meters of the patrons in town were run.
By allowing 8% for the slip of the pump, we estimate water actually pumped to the Stand Pipe was 32,098,566 gallons. After deducting metered water and that accounted for through Sana- torium, we find that about 8,130,000 gallons were used by patrons paying a flat rate, for watering troughs, town hall, fountains and by leaks in the water mains.
