We are glad to be able to report that the test was so satisfactory that the fire insurance of the town will be reduced for the coming year more than the amount of the interest on all the bonds.
SETTLEMENT WITH CONTRACTORS.
In consideration of the large amount involved in settling with the contractors, it is an item of no small importance that we have been able to adjust all differences without reference to the courts.
The works were turned over to the town on Dec. 2, 1885, the day named in the contract, but from the time the water was let on, six months must elapse before the final acceptance.
In concluding this report, we feel that we should not be just to ourselves if we failed to express our high appreciation of the busi- ness character and honorable dealing of such men as A. H. Mc- Neal of Burlington, N. J., and W. C. McClallan, of Boston, Mass. ; also of the Geo. F. Blake Manufacturing Company, and the Cunningham Iron Company, of Boston.
We desire to renew our expressions of confidence in our engi- neer, Mr. M. M. Tidd, of Boston, who made the original plans for the works, and has superintended them until their completion.
The Board are of the opinion that an appropriation of $26,400 will be necessary for the coming year, divided as follows : -

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
TO JOSIAH REED, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Water Com- missioners of the town of. Weymouth :
The undersigned would respectfully submit the following report of the work done under his charge, upon the construction of your water works : -
Work upon the preliminary surveys was commenced early in October, 1883, with a view to bringing the water of Great Pond down to the town by gravity.
These surveys were based upon others which had been previ- ously made by order of a committee of the town two years be- fore, by which the elevation of the pond was found to be one hun- dred and fifty-four feet above mean high tide.
Considerable time was occupied in ascertaining which was the most feasible route.
Three different lines were surveyed and levels taken upon each, until the present pipe line was decided upon as giving the best grade and offering the least natural obstacles.
As South Weymouth was found to be higher than the pond, it was evident that the supply for that portion of the town must be pumped, and for that purpose a pumping station was located on Randolph Street at the intersection of the Old Colony Railroad.
The most accessible point for the tapping of the pond was found to be near the ice-houses of the South Boston Ice Company, the main pipe passing from there across Hollis Street, and crossing Randolph Street at the intersection of the Old Colony Railroad, the point that had been selected for the site of the pumping station.
After more careful surveys a change was made, and the pump station was located at the intersection of Hollis Street with the ice railroad track, this location making the storage of coal, etc., much more convenient and economical.
157
The selection of a suitable site for a reservoir was not an easy matter, as the principal portion at South Weymouth which was to be supplied with water was built upon the highest ground in the vicinity, thus utterly excluding an earth or masonry reservoir, com- pelling resort to an iron one (a stand pipe), which was located upon land of Josiah Reed, upon Reed Avenue, between Central and Union Streets.
The locations of the street mains were then determined, and detail plans of the entire plant were then completed, the sizes and weights . of the various pipes were arranged according to the quantity to be supplied in the different streets, and the pressure to which they were to be subjected. Stop valves were so arranged that, in case of accident, small sections could be shut out for repairs, without depriving others of the water.
The contract for furnishing the cast-iron pipes was awarded on the 9th of July, 1884, with the agreement that a certain quantity of 18-inch and 14-inch pipe was to be delivered in season to be laid during that season, a portion of which was laid.
The contract for furnishing and setting hydrants, gates, and machinery, the building of the pumping station and stand pipe, and the laying of the street mains was awarded to one party on the 9th of July, 1884.
Work was commenced at the pond in the autumn of 1884. The main conduit pipe of cast iron, twenty inches in diameter, was laid at a depth of eleven feet below high-water mark, and extending from a point in the pond ninety-three feet from the shore-level into the gate house, which is of brick and stone, and is eight feet square on the inside. Upon the inside end of the conduit is placed a 20- inch stop gate to shut off the pond at any time that may be desired. Within this gate house are located a double set of copper wire screens, through which all the water passes. The main pipe com- mences at the north end of this gate house and extends about one hundred feet towards the town, and is then reduced to 18 inches, which size is continued to the pumping station, where the supply for South Weymouth is taken out through a 14-inch suction pipe.
From this point to the corner of Broad and Middle Streets, the gravity main is 14 inches in diameter. A connection is made here
158
with a 12-inch pipe, extending through Broad Street to Weymouth Landing and East Weymouth, in each of which places the supply is distributed by smaller pipes through nearly the entire villages From the intersection of Broad and Middle Streets (Shaw's Corner), a 10-inch pipe leads the supply to North Weymouth, over King Oak Hill.
Another line of 10-inch pipe connects East Weymouth, North Weymouth, and Weymouth Landing by the way of Commer- cial Street, thus giving two independent connections between these three villages. Of this pipe, 1,687 feet of 18-inch and 20-inch pipe, and 1.965 feet of 14-inch pipe were laid up to Jan. 24, 1885, when work was suspended for the winter.
Returning now to pumping station, the water is taken from the 18-inch main into the basement of the pump house by a 14-inch suc- tion pipe to a Blake compound duplex pumping engine, whose high pressure cylinders are 10-inch diameter, low pressure cylin- ders are 22 inches in diameter, and 10-inch pump plungers, the whole being 18-inch stroke.
The steam is furnished by a horizontal tubular boiler 54 inches, diameter of sliell 16 feet, 2 inches long, containing sixty-six 3-inch tubes. The pumping station is located about 2,300 feet from the pond, and the centres of the pumps are on the level of high- water mark in the pond.
From this point the water is forced through a 12-inch main pipe through Hollis, Pond, Pleasant, Union Streets, and Reed Avenue, a distance of about 6,500 feet to the stand pipe ; the main pipe entering the bottom at the centre, and rising eighty-one feet above the bottom of the tank, or six feet higher than the top. This makes the top of centre discharge pipe 118.9 above the floor of engine room, and 266.4 feet above mean high tide. The distribu- tion mains for South Weymouth are taken from the 12-inch main on its way to the tank, thus taking the water directly from the pumps while they are running, the surplus passing into the tank, . and stored for use when the pumps are still ; the water from the tank passing out from the bottom by another 12-inch main, through a check valve, which closes automatically when the pump starts, up.
1
159
At the pumping station, a connection is made from the 12-inch force main into the 14-inch gravity main, upon which above this connection is a check valve, by means of which the stand pipe or high service can at any moment be turned upon the low or gravity system without the water passing back into the pond.
By closing a 12-inch gate upon the force main at Hollis Street, opposite the pumping station, the pumps can be applied directly to the low service should any trouble occur upon the force main between the pumps and the tank.
The plan contemplates the furnishing of water from the high service down Pleasant Street as far as Lovell's Corner, where the two systems are connected in piping ; but, by means of a stop gate, the high service is stopped here, as the gravity head is sufficient for all practical purposes.
In case of an accident on the 14-inch gravity main leading from the pond to the Town House, or even Broad Street, the opening of this gate will give pressure to the entire low service, which would in that case become high service. Thus it will be seen that two distinct lines of supply are provided for the entire low service.
PIPE LINE.
The pipe furnished by A. H. McNeal is of excellent quality, and I think the sizes are ample. None of the street mains are less than six inches in diameter. The thickness has been arranged with a view of carrying the head from the full high service through- out the entire town.
Ample provision has been made for future extensions by placing branches at every intersection of streets in which no pipes have been laid. These branches are plugged, and are all carefully located upon the record book and the pipe plans.
There are connected with the entire system 280 fire hydrants, and 271 stop gates. All of the hydrants upon the main pipe, both of the high and low service, have upon their connection with the main pipe a 6-inch stop gate, in order that in case of any derangement of the hydrant it can be shut off and repaired with- out shutting off the entire town.
160
STAND PIPE.
The stand pipe was furnished by the Cunningham Iron Works, under Mr. McClallan's contract, and is of boiler iron 40 feet in diameter and 75 feet high.
The bottom and one fourth of its height are five eighths inch thick, the next fourth is one half inch thick, the next fourth three eighths inch thick, and the top fourth is one fourth inch thick.
The iron is certified to have a tensile strength of 50,000 pounds per square inch. All of the vertical seams are double riveted around the top ; a walk three feet wide has been provided upon the outside, inclosed by a railing, which is reached by a vertical iron ladder upon the outside and inside. A manhole entrance, 18 inches by 24 inches in the clear, has been placed at the bottom on the easterly side.
The whole is placed upon a solid masonry foundation, with entrance chambers provided to give access to the inlet and outlet pipes below the bottom of the tank. I think the contractors have given you in this tank a first-class piece of work.
This tank contains 108 tons of iron, 4.85 tons (about 13,000) rivets. Total weight of tank, empty, is 113 tons. When full, it contains 706,860 gallons of water, equal to 2,945 tons. The total weight, when full, is 3,058 tons.
The work was so far completed that early in October the water was let into the mains, and was pumped to the stand pipe.
The contract to lay the service pipes was awarded to Mr. W. C. McClallan, and work was commenced upon that branch about Sept. 19, and continued up to about Dec. 5, when the works were turned over to the Commissioners, who continued operations upon the services for a short time, when the work was closed up for the winter, with about 473 services connected on the entire line.
On account of the late date at which work was commenced upon the service connections, it is probable that the draught upon the stand pipe for South Weymouth alone would hardly be enough to secure it from freezing in this the first winter of its use. In order
161
to prevent such a result, the Superintendent was instructed to open the gates connecting the high service with the low, and pump the entire supply for the town through the stand pipe until spring, which has produced the desired result ; for, although the thermom- eter has been as low as 16 degrees below zero, no trouble has been experienced on account of frost ; therefore, we may feel reasonably certain that we shall have no trouble in that direction in the future. I think that the citizens of Weymouth may well congratulate them- selves upon the possession of a first-class system of water works in every respect.
All of the materials used in the construction have been of excel- lent quality, and the workmanship has been as good as can be.
The cast-iron pipe is of first-class material and make, and it was promptly delivered by Mr. A. H. McNeal.
The valves and hydrants, by the Chapman Valve Company, like all goods from their works, are exceedingly satisfactory.
The pumping machinery, by the Geo. F. Blake Manufacturing Company, has proved everything that could be desired.
The stand pipe, by the Cunningham Iron Works, is complete, I think, in all respects.
I take this occasion to express my appreciation of the thorough and prompt manner in which the contractor, Mr. W. C. McClallan, has fulfilled his part of the work, which, as it comprised all except the cast-iron pipes and specials, was the largest portion of it.
I find, upon reference to my first report, that my original esti- mate of the cost of your water works, exclusive of service, connec- ctions, and land damages, was $296,471.00. Your accounts now will show how that estimate compares with the final result.
I herewith append a tabulated statement of the amount and sizes of the pipes laid in the different streets in the town, with a list of elevations above the sea, with the head of water. at those points, both by gravity and from the high service added.
Respectfully yours,
M. M. TIDD, Engineer.
