As will be seen by reading the detailed statement found in our report we laid 714 feet of 6 inch pipe from Charles Street to the Humphrey School House. On account of the small pipe used heretofore the flow of water was insufficient for the purpose desired and the situation became such that it was imperative that a larger pipe be laid for convenience as well as for the health of the child- ren. The building of several houses on West Street beyond where pipe had already been laid, demanded that we should con- tinue that line, which we did to the extent of 702 feet of 6 inch pipe. In June we were confronted with the fact that ten cottages erected on the North Weymouth Land Co. were without water, to give these cottages all year round service would entail a very great expense, we however did lay 192 feet of 6 inch pipe on Delorey Street and from there to the cottages carried the water through an 12 inch pipe laid on the top of the ground thereby giving them fairly good service. Houses on the North Weymouth Land Co. are continually being built and water must be furnished them for do- mestic service as well as for fire protection, we therefore laid 113 feet of 6 inch pipe on Ramblers Way. 427 feet of 6 inch pipe was laid on a proposed street from Main Street on land of E. E. Otto, we paying for pipe and laying the same, he paying for dig- ging and filling the trench. 6 and 8 inch mains should be laid during the coming year especially along our shore front, where now 6, 8 and 10 families are getting water from an inch or inch and a half pipe and paying good water taxes.


How long people will come to our town and build houses with- out decent service for domestic use and without fire prorection is a question. Do we desire our town to grow? If so, we must give something in return.


Realizing that the first issue of our bonds will come due Nov. 1,1914, of $300,000, your commissioners commenced action toward payment of the same, first by instructing the Treasurer, on March 11th, to acquire 1914 bonds by exchange, or purchase when funds were available; second, by calling in our real estate mortgages ; third, by petition to the Legislature for authority to issue refunding bonds or notes now held in the treasury to an amount necessary to complete payment of bonds at maturity.


In accordance with the vote of June 6, Mr. T. Robert Sullivan


257


was engaged to inspect our fixtures for the purpose of showing conditions. His report is appended.


Inspection and policing of Great Pond has been continued, as in the past, with satisfactory results.


We received from the Legislature of 1913 authority to issue $50,000 bonds for the purpose of further construction, but none of these bonds have been issued.


In these days of high speed living and wastefulness it is well to look forward a few years and figure out, if we may, the result of this excess.


The use and abuse of our water supplies will be a very prominent object for our consideration.


Has any one of our people stopped to consider that in a few years at the present rate of increase in the population in Wey- mouth, and the continuance of the present per capita consumption of water that it will not be a case of more pipes to carry water to your door, but more water to fill the pipes ?


Even at this writing the daily demand on your water supply during certain seasons of the year is beyond the ability of our water shed to deliver.


If in 1920 we expect to supply every inhabitant of Weymouth with all the water that may reasonably be used we must imme- diately begin the conservation of our supply. New and larger mains now installed will temporarily eliminate the complaint of "no water", but this every one can see will not permanently cure the ill.


The mains are to day, we believe, sufficiently large to satisfy the demands of all, if so large a volume of water were not wasted by the users.


The only permanent remedy is conservation, the stopper of ex- cessive waste.


If your Commissioners had originated some method to do away with this waste, which method was untried and problematical, and desired to try this way out at your expense you would have good cause to object most strenuously to its adoption, but if they presented to you a method that was practical, with years of success- ful administration back of it, a system that was a permanent cure


258


for your troubles, is it not fair to assume that you would aid in the application of that system for the conservation of your water supply ? In past reports the meter system has been brought to your attention by your Commissioners, and as often turned down, but the time is close at hand when a continuance of our present wasteful methods will call either for the installation of new and larger mains at a tremendous expense for a temporary relief, or the installation of the meter system.


Which do you prefer, Mr. Tax Payer, the expenditure of at least $100,000 in new mains, which you and your children must pay for, to obtain temporary relief, or the installation of meters that will tend to reduce your water cost and not call for the added indebtedness to your Water Works, and yet, we believe, give you all the water that you can reasonably ask for ?


You say, What proof can you give me that the installation of water meters will do all this? and so we ask you to note the fol- lowing facts :-


Braintree in 1899 had 1,168 services with a daily consumption of 452,168 gallons ; in 1909 it had 1,662 services with a daily consumption of 493,408 gallons, with meters.


In other words, with approximately 42 per cent. more services its consumption increased only about 9 per cent.


And another instance : The town of Franklin, N. H., in 1893 had 400 services with an average daily consumption of about 300,000 gallons, no meters ; in 1903, with 728 services, metered, the average daily consumption was 210,000 gallons; while in 1908 with 956 services, all metered, the average daily consump- tion was 204,000 gallons.


And it is a matter of record that no complaint of lack of water was received from any water taker.


Is this not conclusive evidence that we could achieve the same results in Weymouth ?


Will you, Mr. Voter, help your Commissioners to conserve the greatest natural resources of your town, or do you still insist in increasing the bonded indebtedness of the largest asset the town possesses ? Your vote in Town Meeting will show.


We ask for an appropriation of $5,000 for further construction ;

$5,000 for installation of meters for domestic use ; also appro- priation from the revenue of the works as follows :
