Chairman of sub-Committee, Wakefield Mass .:
DEAR SIR,-Yours of the 21st inst., in behalf of the sub- committees of the committees appointed by the towns of Wakefield and Stoneham to examine into the question of the future water supply of these towns, and the advisability of purchasing the plant of the Wakefield Water Company, was duly received, and I should have replied earlier, but from the fact that it was impossible for me to confer with any of the stockholders of the company. As it is, I have at this time been able to reach only one. As I understand the scope of your inquiry it is, if the company is ready to name a price at which they will sell the property to the towns any
42
time before December 1st, next, the towns to assume the debts of the company. To that inquiry I think I am author- ized to say that the company are not ready to name such price.
I am very respectfully yours, S. K. HAMILTON, Pres. of Wakefield Water Company.
As the reply of the water company stated that the company was not ready to name a price for its property and franchise, your committee infer that no agreement can be reached by the committee of the towns and the Water Company, in regard to it, and it is probable that a commission of three disinterested men appointed by the judge of probate to appraise the value and fix the price would be able to do it more satisfactorily and with less criticism than would a com- mittee of the towns and the Water Company. In view of the fact that with the continuation of the water works in the hands of a private company for the next thirty years, the inhabitants of the towns of Wakefield and Stoneham proba- bly paying to it an annual sum of an average of forty thou- sand dollars per year, (and increasing each year) amounting in the thirty years to twelve hundred thousand dollars, and then having no ownership by the towns in the property or franchise, as also the importance of the towns holding a position to have the most influence in the regulations as to the sales of the so-called surplus water to other towns, the committees of both towns, Wakefield and Stoneham, are unanimous in the opinion that the water works that are sup- plying the towns of Wakefield snd Stoneham with water should be owned by these towns at as early a date as can be arranged for their purchase.
As the subject is one of such importance to the town, and the contract of the town with the Water Company for the use of hydrants expires December 1st, next, your committee would recommend that the Selectmen be instructed to call a
43
special town meeting with proper articles in the warrant under which the town can provide for the purchase of the water works with Stoneham, and the subject be acted upon with due consideration ; also that the town make no contract with the company of any nature until after such special meeting shall be held, and that this report be published in the town newspapers and in circulars to be sent to the voters of Wakefield.
