REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
January 1, 1927
The Board organized with the election of Frank H. Torrey as chairman; George E. Bicknell, clerk and John H. Stetson, treasurer.
The appointments for the current year were as follows: Super- intendent, Fred O. Stevens; pumping engineer, George W. Sargent; register and collector, Marshall T. Tirrell; pond officer, Willie B. Loud; town accountant, Emerson R. Dizer.
For years we have not been in favor of fishing on Great Pond, but upon the earnest solicitation of a number of our citizens who are of the opinion that the removal of the fish from the pond would be of a great benefit to the water, we have issued permits to fish through the ice on certain areas and at stated intervals, under the supervision of the police. We trust that the person to whom a per- mit is granted will so conduct himself as not to bring censure upon the Board for so doing. "Do unto others as you would be done by."
The new additional services, replacement of large for small pipes, new developed streets and the changes on the State Road between Quincy and Hingham bridges have made 1926 a very busy year. See report as submitted by the Superintendent for details.
We request the following appropriations from our income of the coming year :

4,000.00
