ELECTROLYSIS.
Our extended report of last year covers all that need be said on the matter; the trouble is there and has cost us time and money, whether the future will develop for our benefit, time alone will tell.
METERS.
The subject of Meters has been discussed to a very large extent by the members of the Board. It seems to be the only
262
just and fair method for every user of water; "pay for what I use," seems to be the sentiment. To install the meter service into nearly three thousand houses would entail an expense of thousands of dollars. It is a question whether we can afford at this time to enter into such negotiations.
DEAD ENDS.
All over town there are dead ends, which are very annoying to a great many of our citizens. Unless often opened and flushed, these dead end hydrants become filled with stagnant water, causing an unpleasant taste as well as a foul, dirty looking water. In order, however, for us to connect these dead ends with the main, a larger amount of money will have to be appropriated, than is usually asked for.
We have installed a new boiler at the Pumping Station and now feel that we have an up-to-date first-class plant which will do good service for many years to come.
We have laid the 6-inch pipe along the Hill Crest Road, con- necting the same with the main on Broad street, and have also made the connection with the factory of M. C. Dizer & Co.
An appropriation of $5,000 is asked for the purpose of making further constructions as may be deemed necessary for the ensuing year; also an appropriation from the revenue of the works to be applied as follows :

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN :- I submit my report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1906.
POND.
The pond has been regularly inspected during the year and its shores kept clean. During a part of the year a man patroled the pond to see that the rules and regulations were observed. A fence has been built on the west side to keep out the cattle, about which complaints have been made during previous years.
The dam at Randolph street has been repaired with lumber in a thorough manner. Upon investigation, it was decided that concrete, as intended, would be too expensive.
The results of the examination of the water by the State Board of Health show no unusual conditions, and are in detail in a following report.
PUMPING STATION.
The buildings and grounds are in good condition, with the exception of the coal shed, which needs a new sill, and the store- house, a coat of paint. The new 100 horse-power boiler, that was installed in the early part of the year, is working satisfacto- rily, and the pumps and their appurtenances are in good condi- tion. I would be pleased to have any of our townspeople inspect the plant at any time.
STAND PIPE.
The stand pipe needs painting on the inside.
MAINS.
Forty-four hundred and thirty-six and two-tenths feet of main pipe have been laid this year as shown by the table following this report.
282
The connection made on Central street I consider the most im- portant, as it gives an extra supply to the stand pipe. Previous to this, if for any reason, the water should be shut off on Union street, between Pleasant street and Reeds avenue, it would shut off the stand pipe from the rest of the town.
The question of connecting all of the dead ends is a very import- ant one, as by this means the water is kept in circulation, resulting in better water for domestic uses and more water for fire purposes. There are several of these conditions in different parts of the town which should be remedied as soon as possible.
Leaks were repaired as follows :- Leak in the six inch main on Pearl street, near the bridge, probable cause, electrolysis. Two leaks in the private main owned by the American Agricultural Chemical Company. Ten leaks were repaired in pipe smaller than six inch.
