WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
It might be well to consider a summary of the new and permanent main piping we have already laid, which is as follows:
Pleasant Street, 1183 feet (from Main Street to Oak Street). Oak Street, 490 feet (from Pleasant Street to South Street).
Frairy Street, 800 feet (from Vinald Road to Cottage Street).
Spring Street, 626 feet (from Main Street to Blood Bros.' wood yard).
Cottage Street, 500 feet (from North Street to Adams Street).
Adams Street, 944 feet (from Cottage Street to Dale Street), making a total of 4543 feet, or .86 of a mile, which seems to be quite a good start towards the present total of 3.44 miles in the town.
Cottage and Adams Streets
We laid 1,444 feet of 6-inch cast iron pipe, including the necessary tees for hydrants and intersecting streets, connected all the old services, besides laying three new services, two of which are in use.
The new pipe gives a much better supply of water to the Fire Reservoir in Adams Street. Above job replaced the whole 1,380 feet of the old wrought iron pipe in these streets.
After this old pipe was eliminated we attacked the job of making the remaining service connections to the new line in Pleasant and Oak streets, in order to shut off 1,533 feet of old pipe in these streets, where we felt there were many small leaks in the old mains.
The advantage of cutting out all this old leaky pipe is shown by the decrease in total gallons pumped the past three months when compared with the corresponding months of 1924, even
50
though there had been several new services added during the year, and the older services were delivering much more water than it was possible to get from the old mains.
Cottage and Adams streets were shut off October 1st, Pleas- ant Street on October 27th and Oak Street on November 1st. By comparison, the total number of gallons pumped in Octo- ber, November and December of 1925 was 99,747 less than in 1924.
The showing is even better when using only November and December, which cover the time after all the old lines, or 3.539 feet, had been abandoned, the saving in favor of 1925 being 133,933 gallons.
Park Street
We have been fortunate in getting through the past season without having trouble with the old main in this street, but certainly must replace it with 6-inch cast iron the coming summer, for which we will need an appropriation of approxi- mately $3,200 for the 1,392 feet of pipe and fittings to cover whole length of street.
Park Street is the last one, with the possible exception of Mitchell Street, in which we can recommend replacing the old pipe, on account of not knowing the sizes that will be required, until the location of the permanent supply can be settled.
In order to work intelligently in the near future we are asking for an appropriation of $600 with the idea of getting expert advice and drive or sink a few test wells in the vicinity of our springs and settle at once the question of whether or not there is another water-bearing strata below the one which feeds our springs; if so, and the State Board of Health approves of our remaining in the present location, when considered from a sanitary point of view, then the whole problem will be greatly simplified.
The size of mains in South, Main, North and Green streets depends wholly upon whether the supply remains at, or near, the present location, or has to be taken from alongside Mt. Nebo Street near its junction with Foundry Street.
51
The condition of the main pipe in North Street, at least the 2-inch diameter portion between Green Street and the residence of A. C. Doane, wherever we have uncovered it in making repairs to services, is very thin, so that the Commissioners are anxious to recommend replacing it, just as soon as the question of supply can be settled, with a size that can become a part of the permanent system without wasting any money.
The Commissioners are frequently asked if it isn't possible to install some hydrants on the present 4-inch line in Main Street; also on the new 6-inch lines. Our answer is, that the 30 pounds pressure on the system, which, by the way, is all we can ever have on it, would be of no use at all for a fire stream, neither could it supply the engine if it were coupled to a hydrant.
It ought to be understood by this time that it is impossible to have any hydrant service at all, without spending a lot of money laying all new mains, to be supplied by a new pumping system capable of furnishing the required pressure and quantity of water for fire streams.
During the year we installed four new services, 3 of which are in use, also renewed 16 other services.
In order to meet our budget for the ensuing year, which provides $3,000 for three notes coming due, also $585 interest on notes, we ask for $1,600 in addition to the revenue from water rates.

SEWER DEPARTMENT
Owing to the poor condition of the sewer beds when they were put in charge of the Water Commissioners much time was required to put them in shape to receive and take care of the sewage that flows steadily on to them. To accomplish this it was necessary at considerable expense to remove nearly a foot of mud, grass roots and top soil, to get down to the open gravel where the sewage would filter away properly. The banks around the beds had to be rebuilt so that each bed could be used for a week's run, allowing the other beds to be dried and cleaned, by regular attendance to the beds and changing the gates once a week, and then by raking and harrowing we have been able to keep the beds soft and in good condition to receive the sewage. After a week's run the beds would dry out on an average of (36) thirty-six hours each, showing that these beds can be used for a long time yet. It must be re- membered that these beds are one of the oldest in the state, having done duty for forty years. They were built in 1886. As is customary in all well regulated plants they were plowed and furrowed for winter work, thus giving them a chance to freeze and yet have the sewage flow under the ice and through the furrows, the warm sewage keeping the ground from freezing in cold weather. The well that receives the sewage before it goes to the beds had to be rebuilt all around and a foot in depth with brick work, also a new wooden top had to be made. We also installed a new overflow pipe in (the old one was broken) the well so that the sewage would flow properly to the beds. The beds are now in the best condition they have been for a number of years and must be kept so. The weeds, grass and dry sewage must be kept out of the beds; this means that they must be kept cleaned, raked, harrowed and smoothed regular or they will be back to the condition we found them in, and the labor and expense of the past year will be wasted.
60
This year the trunk lines must be cleaned out, a number of manholes which are buried by tarvia raised to the road level, the beds must be leveled so as to have the sewage flow evenly over them making all parts work equally. This means that a large amount of gravel must be teamed on to them for this purpose, and for the general maintenance of the sewer system we ask for an appropriation of ($2,000.00) two thousand dollars.
It is very probable that if the town continues to grow that an experienced engineer should be employed to make a study of the future needs of a sewer system.
We also ask that the appropriation shall be spent under the supervision of the Water Department.

LIBRARY REPORT
To the Board of Selectmen, the Trustees of the Memorial Public Library respectfully submit the following report:
During the year there have been added to the library 310 books. Of this number 84 are non-fiction, 120 fiction and 106 juvenile. Thirty-three of these have been presented,-Nature Library, ten volumes, by a friend; "Polaris," by the author, Ernest Harold Baynes; ten, by Prof. Geo. Lansing Raymond, author, and his publishers; and twelve juvenile books by the Episcopal Sunday School. These donations are gratefully re- ceived and much appreciated.
The total circulation of books is 10,899, exclusive of maga- zines which is increasing each year. We are glad to note that the teachers and pupils of the schools are making more and more use of the library.
The resignation of Miss Mary Griffin, Assistant Librarian, took effect September 1, and Miss Muriel Conway was engaged to fill the vacancy. Miss Conway resigned January 1, and Miss Helen Holmer has been secured for the position.
Our thanks are due the E. V. Mitchell Co., for having so satisfactorily dyed the window draperies, with no charge except for dye. The work was done by Mr. Albert Hayes of Boston, an experienced dyer who would accept no remuneration for his services. While there was some expense for necessary altera- tions due to shrinkage of material, the cost was very little com- pared with dyehouse prices.
The library building being much in need of påint inside and out, the trustees are asking a special appropriation of $400.00, the estimated cost of painting and repairs, and $1,750.00 for the regular expenses which includes the dog taxes, in addition to the interest on trust funds.

Secretary.
