ESSEX, SS.
Swampscott, Nov. 29th, 1898.
Then personally appeared the above named Benjamin G. Ingalls, Charles S. Haskell, and Martin Van B. Stone, Board of Water Commis- sioners, and acknowledged the foregoing instrument to be the free act and deed of the Town of Swampscott.
Before me,

MILTON D. PORTER, Justice of the Peace.
We feel a sense of relief that the responsibility of furnishing the Town of Swampscott with her future water supply, rests on so reliable a basis as the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In reply to the universal question, "When shall we have the Metropolitan water?" we would say, that in a recent interview with the Engineers of the Metropolitan Water Board, we were informed that they saw no reason why they should not be able to furnish the Town with water about the first of June.
WATER METERS.
We have been approached in reference to the use of water meters, but taking into consideration the change we are about to
132
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Feb. 28
make, we do not deem it advisable to consider any experiments in that direction at present.
NEW SCHEDULE.
We have recently taken a new and complete schedule of the Water Service of the Town, preparatory to rendering of bills April 1st, 1899.
In addition to the pipe owned by the Town, as seen in our table, there has been some laid by private individuals, together with six hydrants, which latter are accessible for public use in case of fire.
We are aware that more hydrants are needed in some sec- tions and shall embrace the first opportunity of locating addition- al ones where most needed; also of replacing small pipes with larger ones where absolutely required.
In closing our report we would say to the citizens, that in recognition of the large amount expended in this department the past year, and in view of the liability of additional expense in replacing worn-out cement pipes, we recommend economy wherever it can be judiciously practised.
