A careful perusal of the details contained in our report will show that we are growing, that we have a very large territory already covered, a very large territory yet to be developed, that a great deal of money must be spent in the future, and while it is our desire to satisfy yet we feel we must be conservative in our expenditures.
It is easy to contract bills, it is a great deal more difficult to find the money to pay them.
We were authorized at the last town meeting to expend $5,000 for the installation of meters.
At a meeting of your Commissioners in April, after due consid- eration of the merits of the various makes, we voted to purchase five hundred meters manufactured by the Pittsburgh Meter Com- pany. With the exception of less than a dozen, these have all been installed.
277
Before delivery of our order we had received approximately two hundred and fifty requests for installation of meters from prop- erty owners.
These applications were all filled as fast as possible and in ad- dition our Superintendent installed the balance in various parts of the town.
Then came the most difficult proposition of establishing the charge for water under the meter system.
After long consideration it was voted to establish a minimum charge of $6 for the one faucet service with a maximum allowance of 20,000 gallons to be used within the calendar year and then an additional charge at the rate of $.30 for 1,000 gallons in ex- cess of the maximum allowance.
For the full service including hose, a minimum charge of $16 with a maximum allowance of 50,000 gallons and an additional charge of $.30 for 1000 gallons in excess of the maximum allow- ance was established.
These rates were not established with the idea that they were to be permanent; in fact it is the commissioners' conclusion that each water taker should pay for just what he uses at an equitable rate that will maintain the water system in first class condition, doing away with any minimum charge.
In view of our first year's experience it can be safely stated that within a short while it will be possible to change our present basis of charge to a more simple and equitable one, and you can be assured that your commissioners will take the first opportunity of doing so.
With the payment on November 1st. last of $300,000 water bonds the principal obstacle to the change was removed so that we can approach with more certainty the requirements of the service as regards income.
As regards the results of those meters established we can as- sure you that they are doing what we prophesied, to wit: they are eliminating the waste of careless users, increasing the supply of water to those who have had difficulty in securing necessary supply and educating the water taker in conservation.
While the number installed is too small a proportion of the total number of water takers to show a great difference as yet
1
278
over the entire system, yet the difference is appreciable and will be more apparant as increased installations are made.
We now come before the voters of the town with a request for $10,000 for the further installation of meters, the sum to be taken from our income during the year and which sum will install approximately 1,000 meters. With our experience of the past year we feel assured that we can successfuly install this added number without serious inconvenience to our working force, with results that will amply repay the expenditure.
When these added meters are installed the town will be ap- proximately 40% metered.
We ask for authority to issue and sell $5,000 bonds for con- struction (new).
We also ask for appropriation from revenue of amounts as follows :
Superintendent, maintenance and Pumping Station $15,000 00
Current expenses, office expenses and Commissioners 2,500 00
For the installation of meters 10,000 00
Sinking Fund
5,000 00
Interest on bonds, viz :
9,595 00
$4,600 on Sinking Fund bonds at 4 % on $115,000.
.

For serial bonds due this year, viz : .

$49,095 00
