WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
JANUARY 1, 1918.
On March 21, 1917, the Board organized with the election of F. H. Torrey as Chairman; G. E. Bicknell, Clerk ; and J. H. Stetson, Treasurer.
The following appointments were made :- Superintendent, F. O. Stevens; office clerk, Charlotte E. Briggs; Engineer at pumping station, G. W. Sargent ; Officer at pond, W. B. Loud. On March 26th, G. E. Bicknell was appointed Registrar and Collector. At joint meeting of Selectmen and Commissioner, Chas. B. Cushing was appointed Town Accountant.
As it was evident that our income from metered services was insufficient to meet our demands, it was voted to increase meter rates from 23c. to 30c. per 100 cu. ft., with a minimum charge of $1.00 for each three months, commencing June 1.
The immediate installation of meters not being an absolute necessity, we intend to install only on new services, etc., as necessary, on account of the present difficulties.
We ask authority to appropriate from our revenue the sum of $43,825.00, to be expended under the following accounts ; viz :
Superintendent, Maintenance, and Pumping Sta- tion $17,000 00
Commissioners, office and current expenses 4,000 00
Installation of meters
1,000 00
Int. on Sinking Fund 4% bonds
