SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN : I submit my report to January 1st, 1902.
On June 24th, 1901, at your request, 1 assumed the duties of acting superintendent of the Water Works. In doing so, I expected that the difficulty which we were in would be speedily settled, and that we would be in a posi- tion to appoint a permanent superintendent. In this direc- tion I have been disappointed, but have continued in that capacity and am still doing so and have done as well as I knew how for the interest of the department and of the town.
POND.
Everything necessary around the pond has been attended to. The water has been of the usual quality and color, as shown by the report of the State Board of Health, found elsewhere in this report.
PUMPING STATION.
The pumps and boilers are in good condition with the exception of one boiler, which I recommend be reset early the coming season. All the necessary valves, springs and tubes have been put in from time to time and the Hartford Boiler Inspection Company report the boilers in good con- dition.
271
STAND PIPE.
The latter part of October and first of November the stand pipe was emptied and thoroughly cleaned inside, and I would recommend that the exterior be scraped and painted the coming season, as it is now showing the need of it very much.
MAINS.
They have been but a very few leaks the past season in the mains. What leaks have occurred have been promptly - repaired and, as far as anyone can see, the mains are in good condition.
HYDRANTS.
Hydrants have been added as is shown in list of exten- sions later in this report. The hydrants have been looked after and thoroughly painted the past season.
GATES.
The gates during the past season were thoroughly attended to. Every gate in town having been visited and tried and, with the exception of one gate and a very few boxes, were found to be in excellent condition.
BOOKS.
At a meeting of the Board, I was instructed to see what I could do in regard to a new system of bookkeeping. With the aid of Mr. J. W. Vinal of the Board of Auditors and Mr. W. C. Newell of Winchester, an expert accountant, a new register was procured which I think met with your approval. That and other books ordinarily in use in other offices have been in use since that time.
COLLECTIONS.
At a meeting of the Board, I was appointed collector of Water Rents and so advertised in our town paper, since which time, I have acted in that capacity. The result of which the books of my office show.

NOTICE.
In account from October to April, 1902 will be found rebates for $204.50 which, unexplained, may seem large. The same is explained as follows :
In the new system of bookkeeping, all rebates given, are shown as such. Previous to this time, many of the rebutes given were taken care of in this way :
Erasures were made on charges and the amounts charged were reduced that amount.
