METERS.
After mature consideration, we deem it advisable to install meters in all public buildings, factories, churches, cemeteries, etc., and in fact, we believe it advisable to install every year a certain number of meters, especially on the high service, so that the whole service would be on a metered system in a few years.
INSPECTION.
Judging the amount served, by the amount pumped, there is much unnecessary waste, caused in part by leaky faucets and others fixtures, also in use of hose out of regulation hours, and other causes which would be brought to light by a thorough in- spection ; we propose to make the same the coming summer. In this connection we believe the licensing of plumbers doing work in the town, requiring them to report to the Water Department all new work and changes, would accrue to the benefit of the town. This whole matter, however, would be unnecessary in the adoption of the metered system.
ELECTROLYSIS.
We continue to have leaks occur in both our mains and services for which we cannot account in any other way than by electricity leaking from the street railway. Should this trouble continue, we will undoubtedly have to take some action for damages against the railway people, but we prefer to await the outcome of suits already instituted by other towns.
An appropriation of $5,000 is requested for the purpose of new construction that may be found necessary, also appropriations from the revenue of the works as follows :

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
GENTLEMEN :- I submit my report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1907.
POND.
The pond has been regularly inspected during the year and no violations of the rules and regulations has been observed. The results of the examinations of the water as made by the State Board of Health will be found in a following report.
PUMPING STATION.
Pumps and their appurtenances, grounds and building with the exception of the coal shed, which needs a few repairs, are in good condition.
STAND PIPE.
Cleaned and painted inside, giving two coats of water proof paint.
MAINS.
14,879.5 feet of main pipe of all sizes has been laid during the season as shown in detail in a following table.
The most important extensions were 1,656 feet of 6 inch pipe on Main street to residence of A. D. Schafer.
Laid 841.5 feet 6 inch pipe on Columbia street from Main street to E. B. Nevins'.
Laid 931 feet 2 inch pipe on Middle street from gravity line to Lewis S. Ross residence.
All the dead ends in the system should be connected as soon as possible and the present gates between the high and low services would have replaced by check valves in certain sections, which would automatically regulate the pressure, this is a matter of great importance in case of fire.
279
The valves should be installed in man holes and in such man- ner as to be readily inspected and repaired if necessary.
Leaks were repaired as follows :
Two leaks in 6 inch main on Bridge street, near Quincy Point bridge, probable cause electrolysis.
Leak in 10 inch main owned by American Agricultural Chemi- cal Company.
Norton street-6 inch main, probable cause electrolysis.
North street-10 inch main near railroad bridge, crack in pipe. In mains smaller than 6 inch, repaired 10 leaks, various causes.
HYDRANTS.
New hydrants have been placed as follows :
Columbian street, one opposite residence of Edward Nevin and one at end of line.
Main street at end of line opposite A. D. Schafer and opposite L. B. Nado.
Hawthorne street, opposite residence of W. M. Tirrell.
All of the hydrants have been carefully looked after, cleaned and repaired where necessary and when it is considered that there are 391 hydrants scattered over 65 miles of pipe, looking after them is quite a job, especially in cold weather.
