REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS January 1, 1924
The Board organized on March 19, 1923, with the election of Frank H. Torrey as chairman, John H. Stetson, treasurer, and George E. Bicknell clerk.
The following appointments for the current year were made: Supt., Fred O. Stevens; pumping station engineer, George W. Sar- gent; registrar and collector, Winslow M. Tirrell; and pond officer, Willie B. Loud.
Jointly with the Selectmen, Mr. Emerson R. Dizer was appoint- ed Town Accountant.
The demands on our system are increasing so rapidly we are faced with the necessity of improving the same, which will require a large expenditure; we are therefore requesting permission of the Legislature for authority to issue bonds from time to time as funds may be required for making the additions necessary.
We request the following appropriations from our income of the coming year :-
Maintenance and pumping station $23,000.00
Commissioners, office and current expenses 4,500.00
New services, meters and minor extensions 20,000:00
Replacements 2,000.00
Principal of bonds maturing 7,500.00
Interest on serial bonds
3,260.00
Total $60,260.00.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK H. TORREY,
