WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
JANUARY 1, 1913.
The Board organized March 12, 1912, by the choice of Douglas M. Easton, chairman ; Frank H. Torrey, clerk ; John H. Stetson, treasurer.
Miss C. E. Briggs continues clerk at office, at a salary of $500.
C. B. Cushing continues as accountant, at a salary of $250.
G. W. Sargent continues as engineer at pumping station, at a salary of $1,050.
Frank H. Torrey was chosen register and collector, he to be paid $250 and expenses, the Commissioners to pay for his bond.
Ivers M. Low continues Superintendent, at a salary of $25 per week.
In the inevitable fight through time which we call life, we gain wisdom by mistakes, which at the time they are made, appear to be logical conclusions.
Your Commissioners are no different from others in this par- ticular, although it may appear to some that the more wisdom they are supposed to get by their experience, the greater mis- takes they seem to make. Nevertheless we have no apology to make for what may seem to be a wilful desire not to do as well as we know how. The divergence of opinion among wiseacres, who are inexperienced in problems they have not before come in contact with and who express themselves perhaps too freely in the presence of the unthinking, tends to bring odinm upon those responsible for the work, and makes them appear as acting against the best interest of the public which they were elected to serve, but such is life.
During the dry season an extra engineer was employed, in, order that the pumps could be run from early morning to late in the evening, furnishing from early June until the first of October from one million to two million gallons per day, yet the cry was
264
for more. A thousand and one questions were asked, sugges- tions made and propositions put up to your commissioners ; some even thought that the town had outgrown the system. It was impossible to do anything that would solve the problem so long as a portion of the consumers persisted in wasting more than would have made up the shortage endured by others, who justly complained at not having enough for everyday require- ments, so we kept on doing the best we could to give all as equi- table a service as our experience and existing conditions would permit. A consumption of two million gallons or more per day to a population of thirteen thousand, we believe any reasonable person would say is more than enough. In our opinion there are two ways in which the service could be benefited, one by enlarg- ing the pipes all over town and the other by the use of meters, the theory that larger pipes or more of them we think is doubtful, it would mean more waste and those who suffer now would suffer then. In our opinion the use of meters would be the most feasi- ble. That our system is amply sufficient to supply our needs your commissioners have no doubt. The city of Buffalo which takes its supply from lake Erie, when on a flat rate could not supply the demand, even after increasing their pumping plant several times, the city finally adopted meters and got rid of their troubles.
Supervisor James McMurray under date of January 8, 1913, says that Boston's water consumption has fallen 5,000,000,000 gallons per year through the use of meters in that city during the past three years, that the saving of water by the introduction of meters will be still greater when the whole system is mnetered. He further says "from what I can learn the only people to suffer from the introduction of meters are certain careless property owners who neglect to keep the water pipes and fixtures in proper repair in their houses." It seems to us the town should adopt the meter system and that a maximum rate including the rental of the meter be established.
The town voted last year to authorize the Commissioners to in- stall fifty meters, which was done after some difficulty with par- ties, who at first thought they wanted them, but changed their minds when they learned that there would be no meter rates estab- lished at present. As full a detailed report as conditions would àdinit of will be found below :

An article will be found in the Warrant on this subject. What say you, fellow citizens ? It is up to you.
In our report of 1911 we gave quite a detailed report regarding our ideas as to the condition of our water supply at Weymouth Great Pond. We did not deem it inconsistent when the two ice companies applied for and were granted a permit to harvest ice, others however did and we were served with a mandamus to appear in court presided over by Judge Brayley. The judge being unable to hear the case referred the matter to Mr. Hitch- cock. We spent several days with counsel before the referee. After listening to the evidence and personally inspecting the pond and its surroundings, he filed his report which in substance was that the commissioners had acted within their rights. Judge Brayley after reading the report filed by the referee and listening to the counsel on both sides, dismissed the case. We understand that an appeal has been taken to the full bench.
