REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
January. 1, 1923
The Board organized on March 25, 1922, with the election of Frank H. Torrey as chairman, George E. Bicknell, clerk, and John H. Stetson, Treasurer.
The following appointments were made for the current year; Supt. Fred O. Stevens; Registrar & Collector, George E. Bicknell; Engineer at Pumping Station George W. Sargent and Watchman at Pond, Willie B. Loud.
At joint meeting with Selectmen, Mr. Emerson R. Dizer was appointed Town Accountant.
Our Board acting under authority of the Town, took by right of eminent domain, part of property of D. Arthur Brown, border- ing on our water supply, amounting to thirty-seven (37) acres, more or less, and paid for same from funds already in our hands.
Outstanding serial Bonds, now amounting to $80,500. becoming due yearly up to 1931, 1933 and 1936 constitute a regular disburse- ment of $7,500 per year on principal beside the annual interest amounting to $3,595. this year and decreasing yearly. These a- mounts coming from our income will necessitate our borrowing further for new extensions, therefore, we shall ask this year for a loan not exceeding $10,000 to be used if found necessary.
We request the following appropriations from our income of the coming year :-
Maintenance and Pumping Station
$22,325.00
Commissioners, Office and Current Expenses
4,500.00
