HYDRANTS.
Four new hydrants have been placed as follows :- One on Pe- quot road, one on Hill Crest road, one on Gilbert road, and one on Burton terrace. The hydrant, corner of Grant and Hill streets, was broken by an automobile, parties unknown. During cold weather a great deal of attention is required to keep the hydrants from freezing, and every precaution is taken to keep them in work- ing order in case of fire.
GATES.
The gates have been inspected and are in good working order.
WATER WASTE.
This question is one that is receiving a great deal of attention from all water departments. It has been estimated that one-third of the water used is wasted. If this continues, it will soon mean extensive additions to our system at a heavy cost. The unani- mous opinion of all who have investigated this subject, is that the installment of meters is the only practical way that this unneces- sary waste can be stopped. The water meter is not an experi- ment, but an accurate measure; and there is no good reason, whereby a small family, or one that does not waste the water, should pay as much as a large family, or a wasteful one.
ELECTROLYSIS.
This subject has been considered in detail in the previous reports. The report on this subject of Mr. M. A. Carter, electrical engineer,
283
appears in your report of 1905. To these reports I most respect- fully refer you. This year, as in the past, we have had con- siderable trouble from this source. That it is a most serious question has been established beyond a doubt. The point now to determine is on whom to fix the responsibility, and how they shall be made to pay for the damage, which is continually going on.
SERVICE PIPES.
Twenty-two leaks have beeh repaired during the year. Sixty- four new service pipes have been laid, and sixty-nine old service pipes have been relaid, as follows :

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
January 1, 1907.
To the Board of Water Commissioners and Superintendent of Water Works :
GENTLEMEN :- I herewith submit my report for the year of 1906.
Everything at the Pumping Station has gone along with little or no trouble occurring in or about the Station during the past year.
The last new boiler was installed and started during the year and has worked very satisfactory. You now have a practically new boiler plant, with each boiler capable of furnishing steam economically for any part, or the whole of pumping apparatus.
' A complete new flue and two uptakes leading from boilers was put in during the year.
I have renewed about one-half of steam mains leading from boilers, and put in a five-inch valve to allow me to shut off boiler room from engine room, and by making some new connections for auxiliary pumps, I can now make any repairs or alterations re- quired in engine or condenser room without shutting out fire alarm whistle from blowing at any time during such repairs.
A new concrete floor was laid in front of boilers, and also at front entrance to station.
Changes were made in coal shed to facilitate the handling of coal from cars to better advantage while unloading same.
Other numerous repairs and adjustments were made to machinery and piping as they occurred.
The hydraulic valve has worked very satisfactory since its in- stallment.
During the coming spring some few repairs will be required to be made to pumping machinery.
From my measurements at dam, I find that Great Pond was at its greatest height on, or about March 7th, it being at that time one inch below so-called high water mark, and at its lowest point on, or about September 28th, it being at that time thirty- one and one-half inches below high water.
Yours Respectfully,
C. B. KLINGEMANN, Engineer.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Board of Selectmen :-
GENTLEMEN :- I hereby submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1906.
The total highway appropriation, including the Old Colony St. Railway excise tax was $11,432.64, deducting from this amount $700, as a payment on the new steam roller, leaves a net sum of $10,732.24 to maintain about' 120 miles of roads, an average of $89.43 per mile. The fact must not be lost sight of that these repairs are on roads, many of which were never properly built, constructed from poor material and with no regard paid to grades or drainage, which makes the problem of keeping them even in a safe condition a serious one. There is no question but that a properly built road is cheaper to maintain than a poor one, and that the expense of a gravel road maintenance is much larger than one of stone. The cost of maintaining the State highways given in the report of 1904, was about $110.00 per mile, and they have no sidewalks to repair, and all are modern roads de- vised and built upon the most improved methods, with proper grades, good drainage and foundations devised for all time. Even under these conditions, the Highway Commission find that this amount is not sufficient to maintain their roads properly.
The common use of the automobile has greatly increasod the wear on the roads, and all over the world experiments are being made in building roads with different materials that will stand this increased wear and tear. If the wear has been so noticeable on the State roads, they are injuring the town highways, only in a greater proportion, as our gravel roads cannot stand the wear as well as the better built macadam. Another point to which I want to call your attention is that we have more miles of street to care for than fifteen or twenty years ago, that due to increased traffic and the automobile, it costs more to maintain them, and that during this time the wages have been increased and the hours of
292
labor diminished, but to offset this increased expense, which in the aggregate is a considerable sum, the appropriation, if anything has been reduced. £ It is a matter of convenience and economy to have properly built roads, and false economy to be obliged to build roads that fail to suit the public, and which require heavy out- lays for continual repairs. With the number of miles to main- tain and with our present appropriation, it is hardly reasonable to expect that any great improvements can be made.
If this department could have something to do with, the good streets and sidewalks will follow.
REMOVAL OF SNOW.
There was very little snow to contend with, owing to an .unusually mild winter.
EQUIPMENT.
The crusher is in good shape, but will need a new bucket chain. It was found necessary to buy a new stack for the portable engine. The boiler and tubes are in good order, but the engine needs some repairs. The steam roller, purchased early in the season, has done good service. It is now in perfect condition and has proven an excellent investment.
SPECIAL HIGHWAY APPROPRIATION.
No work has been done that ever made any better returns for the money invested than the special appropriations for this year, and . whatever was done will prove a permanent benefit. They are as follows :
Central street sidewalk-White to Union streets, one side had to make quite a fill, surfaced with cinders.
Thomas' Corner drain-Laid 780 feet of 8-inch pipe on Shaw and Sea streets ; built three catch basins. If the appropriation asked for had been granted, the drain would have been continued to Athens street. The present system drains the square satis- factorily.
Broad street drain-Laid 720 feet of 8-inch pipe from point near the residence of W. H. Pratt, discharging into the Dizer brook near Putnam street. Installed five catch basins. The street railway raised their tracks on a portion of the street to grades furnished by the department, the work being done at their expense. During the progress of the work considerable
293
ledge was encountered which required blasting. At the present time I see no reason why it is not a satisfactory solution of a problem which has caused a great deal of trouble and considerable expense in the past.
Commercial street-The work done on this road was as follows : Beginning at a point near Tremont street, a macadamized road was constructed, from local stone, northerly to a point opposite the coal wharves, a distance of about 1,100 feet. Over this por- tion of the street the freight from the Railway Station and most of the lumber and coal from the wharves is hauled, thus subjecting it to the most heavy and constant travel of any road in town. The axis of this road was built on the side slope of a hill of consider- able inclination and on the lower side were dwelling houses, station, coal and lumber wharves, which made it expensive to grade the different approaches. The disposition of the water that came from the hill above the road was important. To overcome this it be- came necessary to lay 400 feet of eight inch pipe and build three catch basins, which have disposed of the water satisfactorily. These items made the work expensive but considered it false economy to neglect any precautions that tend to make the construction less lasting and permanent. This road should be continued to the Railroad Crossing, a distance of about 1,000 feet. Local condi- tions would make this portion of the road much cheaper to build and I would estimate that $1,200 would be a sufficient sum.
In the following you will please find a synopsis of the work done in the different wards. I have not attempted to give a detailed statement, merely touching on the most important work, and the improvements that I suggest are those that seem most urgent.
WARD ONE.
The principal work is as follows :
Pearl street-Resurfaced with gravel from North street to about residence of J. H. Libbey.
Sea street-From Bridge street to residence of James Bray- shaw.
North street-From the estate of Calvin Terry to that of Joseph Ponlin, easing the grade of the hill.
Commercial street -- Resurfaced King Oak hill.
294
Essex street-From Commercial street to Ward Two line. Bridge street-From Quincy Point bridge to the State road.
Neck and River streets-From Bridge street to The American Agricultural Chemical Company. The road was patched with gravel, but it would require a special appropriation to put the street in proper shape, as it is a long street and in poor repair.
Under the appropriation available from the Tufts' Fund, the sidewalk on Commercial Street was graded from Barnard's Hill to Church Street.
Among the sidewalks repaired were Bayview avenue, Sea street at Thomas' corner and a portion of Bridge street. The fences in this ward are in very poor condition.
WARD TWO.
The principal work in this ward consited in making repairs after washouts, as there were several storms which caused a great deal of expense.
There are three sections of this ward that should have surface drains. Broad and Shawmut streets, Shawmut and Pleasant streets and Commercial square. After a heavy rain there is always more or less damage caused in these localities. We have paid out in repairs, in hauling gravel back and forth, in the past what would have paid for a complete system. An expenditure of from $400 to $600 in each of these localities would remedy the trouble and at least one should be done the coming year.
The most important road work is as follows : Gravel roads- Water street, from Pleasant street to Commercial street.
Commercial street-from Water street to School street. Two new catch basins were built to take eare of the water and pipe laid across the road into the canal.
Cottage street, Putnam street and the Square at the junction of Broad and Madison streets were repaired with gravel, the ma- terial coming from Broad street being excavated for the mac- adam.
Broad street, opposite the Masonic Building, the street was cut about eight inches and resurfaced with gravel. The section from the residence of W. H. Pratt to Madison street was macadamized the street railway paying for the work done in their location. This work was done in conjunction with the surface drain that was built under a special appropriation.
295
New curb was laid in front of the Congregational Church on Commercial street.
New curb was laid in front of the Masonic Building.
Curb reset in front of the Edward Orr property, Middle and Broad streets.
85 feet of 10 inch tile drain was laid across Middle street, near Carroll's shop.
The sidewalks on High, Broad, Middle, Madison and Pleasant streets have received some attention.
Among the streets in need of immediate repairs are Commercial from the Hingham line to Broad, High and Shawmut streets.
WARD THREE.
The usual care was given to drains, culverts andipipe crossings, but as in Ward Two, the exceptionally heavy rains have caused a great deal of damage and expense; particularly in the section known as Mount Pleasant.
The principal work was done on the following streets :
Federal street-Resurfaced with gravel from Washington to Summer street.
Washington street-Section from fountain at Main street, towards Lovell's Corner, known as "Sunken Hole."
Webb street-From Richmond street to Commercial street with gravel.
Summit street-Graveled the hill at junction with Webb street.
Prospect street-Graveled the hill at junction with Webb street.
Richmond street-Graveled the hill at junction with Webb street.
King avenue-Resurfaced with gravel.
Stetson street-From Common to Broad street, with gravel.
Common street-Graveled hill near Stetson street.
Torrey lane, Hunt, Front and Broad streets were repaired with gravel.
Among the sidewalks repaired were the following :
Phillips, Broad, Vine, Granite and Front streets and Walnut avenue.
Relaid curb on Washington street opposite Richard's property, Washington square.
296
Among the improvements that are necessary are the following :
A continuation of Commercial street from point left off at last year to Railway Crossing.
Washington street-From Broad street to Lincoln Square.
Broad street-A continuation of the stone road to East Wey- mouth. Surface drains on Prospect street. Any of the above would be a permanent benefit to the general public.
WARD FOUR.
The principal work was as follows :
Pine street-From Oak street to the Rockland line resurfaced with gravel. Used road machine and repaired worst places in Park, Oak, Pleasant, Washington, Middle and Front streets.
Repaired sidewalks on Pleasant street and on Main street from Middle street to Park avenue.
Among the streets that should receive immediate attention are Park street from Oak street to Hingham line, Oak street and Front street from West street to the Ells' gravel pit.
Repaired bridge on Washington street, near Middle street, also the retaining wall to abutments and rebuilt fence.
I would like to see Pleasant street macadamized its entire length. It is a road that is much used, and the cost of main- tenance of a gravel road compared with the maintenance of a macadam road shows that gravel roads are not economical.
WARD FIVE.
The road machine was used where available, and genera repairs were distributed where most needed. The gravel used in this ward comes from the pits near Nash's Corner. This is a long haul and the work is expensive.
Pleasant street-Needs resurfacing from Columbian square to railway station.
Main street-Is in very poor condition. This street has been accepted as a State Highway and extends to about the Ward line. It is hoped that in the ensuing year, this street will be continued to the Abington line, as contemplated. If not the Town will have to do some work to keep the road passable.
Union street-Rebuilt with gravel from the residence of Addison Stoddard to that of Joseph Cushing. This work should be con- tinued to the Rockland line.
297
Bates avenue-The whole length rebuilt with gravel.
Tower avenue-The whole length rebuilt with gravel.
Columbian street-Used road machine and graveled from Main street, a short section.
Thicket street-Used road machine and graveled where neces- sary its entire length.
Used road machine and patched where necessary, as follows :
White, Center, Central, Reeds, Hollis, Randolph and Pond streets.
The sidewalks repaired are as follows :
Pleasant street-Central to Main street, with crushed stone.
Central street-Main street to Lockup, with crushed stone.
Main street-Pleasant street to Reservoir.
