Report of the Water Commissioners
We have pumped during the past year 103,287,900 gal- lons of which 24,046,529 gallons were sold to the Veterans' Hospital and 27,870,750 gallons to the State Sanitatorium. The total of all other meters was 23,442,633, accounting for 73 per cent. of the water pumped, which is about the average of other water departments. The Water Commissioners feel that a vast improvement has been made in this department both in regard to accounting for the water pumped and revenue received, which was $1649.31 more than last year, while expenses were $153.45 less than last year.
The financial report of the department for the year clos- ing December 31 is as follows:
