ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SEWER COMMISSIONERS
SEWER COMMISSIONERS.
The Sewer Commissioners have built sewers the past year on High and Mill streets, also a small sec- tion on lower Main and Maple streets.
The construction of the High street sewer gives a trunk line directly across Globe Village and it will be comparatively easy in the future to build short branches to connect with this main line. The con- struction of this sewer will render more serviceable the sewer as laid on River street, which has a very slight grade. The sewer was urgently needed on High street as many of the residents there use the water from wells located on their premises.
There are now 6 65 miles of sewers in town. It is discouraging to the Commissioners to note the reluc- tance shown by many property owners in connecting with the sewer, and that the Board of Health has to order such work. We suggest that parties lay their pipe while the streets are dug up, so far as possible.
The extra appropriation of five hundred dollars for the Sewer Contingent Account has been expended in renewing and improving the sewer beds. The large amount of sewerage now sent daily to the beds con- pels us to keep them working at a high degree of effi-

ciency and unless this is done the time is not far dis- tant when other beds will have to be constructed. The Commissioners have retained the services of Napolean Berthiaume, who devotes some time each day to the care of the beds. The engineers of the State Board of Health have been inclined to censure the Board in the past for too great economy in caring for the filter beds, but this year the reports have been more favorable. We recommend an appropriation of one thousand dol- lars for the Sewer Contingent Account.
The Commissioners have waited a reasonable time after the completion of sewers before imposing the as- sessment therefor, but there is a delay about paying same after the bills are rendered. This greatly hinders the work of the Sewer Commissioners and makes the town extra expense for interest on money borrowed in anticipation of assessments and also for collection of the assessments by legal proceedings. We hope that assessments will be more promptly paid in the future.
The articles for new sewers will be found in the Town Warrant. We recommend that sewers be con- structed this year upon Union, Main and Cross streets to cover the territory lying between Main and Hamil- ton streets.
Complaints have reached the Commissioners about stoppages in the sewers, caused by rubbish, rags, and the like. Throwing such articles into the sewers is strictly forbidden by the Board, and any offender will be prosecuted.
