WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
January 1, 1920.
The Board organized on March 17, by the election of Frank H. Tor- rey as chairman; George E. Bicknell, clerk, and John H. Stetson, Treasurer.
The following appointments were made for the ensuing year :- Superintendent, Fred O. Stevens; engineer at Pumping Station, George W. Sargent ; office clerk, Miss Charlotte E. Briggs. At a joint meeting with the Selectmen, Charles B. Cushing was appointed Town Accountant.
As was the case in 1918, what construction was done was paid for from our income, but the coming year it will be necessary to nego- tiate the loan of $5,000.00 authorized in 1918, as we have accumu- lated extensions that have been postponed on account of the war con- ditions.
Our clerk, Miss Charlotte E. Briggs, passed away in the late sum- mer, after more than a quarter-century of continuous service, and we take this occasion to testify to our appreciation of her as a fellow citizen and faithful employee.
We request the following appropriations from our income of the coming year :-
Superintendence, Maintenance and Pumping station $22,000.00
Commissioners, Office and Current Expenses 5,300.00
Interest on Sinking fund 4 per cent. bonds
1,760.00
Interest on Serial 41/2 per cent. bonds
3,375.00
Interest on Serial 4 per cent bonds
520.00
Principal on Serial bonds due 1920 9,500.00
New Service, Minor Extensions and Meter installations 6,500.00
For Sinking Fund
