The work at the filter beds has not been done in a satisfactory manner, not due to the man in charge but to the system, that is not adequate to handle the in- creased amount of filterage received.
The construction of the Moon Street sewer was started in May and was completed in July.

$646 11
One-third by Town,

Assessments for above sewer were levied in 1918.
