At the expiration of the financial year all of the water mains provided for at previous town meetings have been laid with three exceptions. At the last annual town meeting it was voted to lay a six-inch water main in Phillips circle when the street had been built. The street has not been completed and probably will not be until spring, consequently the laying of this pipe has been delayed temporarily.
At the annual town meeting held in 1916 it was voted to lay a water main extension from Tupelo road, Galloupe's point, and $700 was appropriated for the work. There does not seem to be any possibility of making satis- factory arrangement regarding easements with the owners of the land, and we do not believe conditions there are such that the town would be justi- fied in taking the property. The bonds have been issued and we believe the money should be used for new extensions that may be needed elsewhere.
At a special town meeting, September 29, 1916, a water main extension was petitioned for on Stimpson road. Bonds were issued and the pipe purchased and delivered on the street. We were then informed by the petitioners that they objected to having it put in, as they had decided that they did not need it. The pipe was removed to the yard and it will require a vote of the town before it can be used elsewhere. We believe, taking into consideration the high cost of material and other existing conditions, that the town should not extend water mains unless absolutely necessary, and that no bonds should be issued this year. We are confident that if the unexpended balances from last year's work, and the money that was appropriated and not used, is transferred to the emergency fund, the board will be able to take care of all emergencies for this year at least.
We recommend that the unexpended appropriations and balances from Tupelo road, $700; Hillcrest circle, $11.53; Prospect avenue, $70.09; Aspen road, $500.73 ; Arbutus road, $24.15 ; Sargent road, $34.91 ; Stimp- son road, $460; Palmer avenue, $5.50 ; Millett road, $12.58; Buena Vista avenue, $84.50; Bellevue road, $527.64 ; Magnolia road, 189.15, a total of $2,620.78 ; be transferred to what is known as an emergency fund, to be drawn on by a recorded vote of the board upon proper petitions where inconvenience would be caused by having to wait for a town meeting.

WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD REPORT.
1917]
Sewer Department.
The Eastern Trunk Sewer construction was held up for a long time on account of the death of the owner of the principal part of the estate through which it was to pass, and as this sewer was of no immediate value to any person we felt that we should exert every effort possible with the trustees and owners to procure easements across the property, without expense to the town, as had been verbally agreed to before the town voted to construct the sewer. But after a great amount of correspondence and personal interviews we were unable to make any satisfactory arrangements, and there seemed to be no way to carry out the vote of the town, only to make a taking of the land required, which we did, and the contract was let and the work is being done at the present time.
Sewers have been constructed in Greenwood avenue, Greenwood terrace, Humphrey street, Hillcrest circle, Banks road, Essex street, Roy street, Lodge road, Cedar Hill terrace and Bay View avenue this year.
A new safe, the proper size and shape for sewer plans, which provides a suitable shape for keeping the plans flat in properly indexed drawers, has been purchased, thus giving access to whatever plan is required at a moment's notice.
The sewer plans are incomplete at this time. although we had expected to have them completed last year. We are informed that they will be com- plete very soon.
We recommend an appropriation of $7,000 for sewer maintenance and $800 for particular sewers.

SAMUEL M. KEHOE, GEORGE D. R. DURKEE, HAROLD G. ENHOLM. Water and Sewer Commissioners.
Brooks and Drains.
At the last annual town meeting it was voted that the Brooks and Drains should be cared for by the Sewer Department, and $300 was appropriated for their care.
Although it is a known fact that the town brooks and drains, many of them, are in bad condition, and would require an expenditure of a large sum of money to put them in proper condition, the work should be deferred for a time, but it will have to be done in the near future. After careful consideration of the high cost of material and conditions generally we do not think the town should take the matter seriously this year. We recommend an appropriation of $300 to remove obstructions and care for emergencies that may occur.
