REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
Water Department
The very bad condition of the old main line in North Street is certainly not improving, and provision should be made the coming season for relaying at least a portion of North Street from Main Street to the present 4-inch cast iron pipe at Dale Street, with cast iron pipe, in case a new water system is not started this season.
The sizes for the new pipe can be figured to fit into whatever system is adopted, provided the supply comes from the north. It will require 2,250 feet of 14-inch, 12-inch and 10-inch main line besides the 8-inch and 6-inch for connecting the side streets, also setting the necessary hydrants.
An appropriation of $10,500.00 will be required.
A separate appropriation of $2,000.00 will be needed for con- necting the houses and vacant lots to the main line.
The pumping record shows 25,492,791 gallons for the year- average per day 69,843 gallons-heaviest day 129,885 gallons- lightest day 54,404 gallons. The decrease from 1929 of 4,680,220 gallons can be accounted for by the past very dry season, when a large majority of the water takers gave up try- ing to save their lawns and gardens; also there were no fires that required a large draft on the Fire Reservoirs.
During the year, there were five new services added, ten re- newed and five repaired.
Under the present ruling of the Water Board, the Water Department furnishes and repairs the service pipe from the main to the street line, which decreases somewhat the amount of money coming back into the Town Treasury from above sources.
In the event of next season being a very dry one, we may have to make more repairs on the suction line. The past season, on account of air leaks showing in the joints of the suction line,
83
when the level of the ground water in the meadow went below the center, and in some cases the bottom of the wooden suction pipe, air leaks developed, and we were obliged to repair thirteen joints at a cost of $278.44 in order to keep the pumps running until the rains came.
In order to meet our budget for the coming year, which antic- ipates about the usual number of new services, renewals and repairs, also emergencies like the suction pipe job, we ask for an appropriation of $3,800.00.
During the year the Treasurer paid Water Department notes amounting to $1,000.00 and interest $192.50, this leaves three notes for $1,000.00 each still due on the purchase of the plant from the Medfield Water Co.

SEWER DEPARTMENT
Sanitary Sewers
In February, 1930, we cleared out a stoppage in sewer in the street which connects Mitchell and Cottage Streets-tree roots again.
Early in December the sewers in Miller and North Streets had to be cleared out. In Miller Street it backed up into the cellars, in North Street we found the trouble when making a general inspection of the trunk lines.
Sewer Beds
The amount of sewerage going to the beds during the summer and fall months decreased somewhat on account of the straw factory closing and also due to the very long dry season, when there was no ground water to speak of entering the leaky joints.
Surface of the beds baked harder than the average, last season, requiring more working to keep the surface porous enough to absorb the sewerage readily. On account of this extra work, the small balance left late in the season, did not permit hauling any sand or gravel to the low parts of the beds, which we try to do whenever possible.
We need an appropriation of $1000.00 for the coming season.

LIBRARY REPORT
To the Board of Selectmen, the Trustees of the Memorial Public Library respectfully submit the following report for the year 1930:
Alfred Pederson is the new member of the Board and the or- ganization remains as in the past years with Mr. Crocker, chair- man and Mrs. Nellie T. Keyou, secretary.
The Librarian, Mrs. Emery, has been granted leave of ab- sence for the winter months, and Miss Petrie the assistant, with Miss Helen MacDonald, a former teacher in the Ralph Wheelock School, as substitute, are in charge during her absence.
During the year, 240 new books have been purchased, and a fine set of "America" in twelve volumes has been presented by Mr. George B. Dabney, in memory of the Heroes of the World War. "Pathway of the Puritans" a Tercentenary book, in fine binding has been presented by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We are also indebted to Mrs. Wheelwright for an Encyclopedia of Textiles, in seven volumes, and to Mrs. Danielson and Mrs. Chandler for five books of fiction. To these donors, we wish to express our thanks.
