For the third successive year, the required water pressure has been maintained daily throughout the year with no breaks or leaks in the water mains. The usual minor troubles of frozen services, meter repairs, etc. have been comparatively few during the year and have been quickly remedied without interruption of water service.
State regulations require us to submit samples taken from our water supply at regular intervals throughout the year to the State Department of Public Health for test purposes. The all around excellence of our water supply is evidenced by the reports from the State on our water tests which continue to show high quality, proper ingredients and freedom from contamination. No chlori- nation or chemical treatment of the water has been re- quired or found necessary to date.
During the past Spring and Summer there has been unusual activity, and a decided increase over the normal number of new houses and dwellings being constructed
-52-
locally, and as a result, the Department has been very busy on outside construction of extensions, service installations and general work. Local labor only has been employed whenever necessary to aid in the completion of this work.
In spite of the serious drought during last Summer, the water level at the source of supply was higher than the previous years. Last spring, the water level was the high- est it has been since the plant has been in operation.
During the year there was an increase of about three and one half million gallons in the consumption as recorded by meters. This is about 46% greater than that for 1938. The metered consumption is about 60% of the total amount pumped as compared to 50% for the year 1938. This increase in the amount of water accounted for, is due to the fact that the increased consumption made it possible to decrease the amount of water wasted through bleeders for the purpose of proper circulation. As the number of takers increase in the future, the "accounted for" water will also increase, as it will be possible to de- crease the artificial circulation through bleeders.
EXTENSIONS
The Department has established the practice re- cently voted in Town Meeting that no extensions, either major or emergency, shall be made to the present system unless the Department receives annually, an income from water takers on said extensions of at least 6% of the in- vestment or cost of each extension. This provides a fair return annually and with the addition of new takers from time to time increases the annual income. In this manner each extension pays for itself in a few years and then becomes a source of annual revenue and profit.
Seven short extensions were added to the water system this year. Only one of the extensions was voted in Town Meeting, the remainder being laid under the emer- gency fund whereby the Water Commissioners could ex-
-53-
tend water mains, provided there was available a 6% re- turn on the cost of the extensions. These extensions show an income of 16.8%. A table showing this construction is included in the statistical data of this report.
SERVICES
Due to the construction of many new houses, one major extension and a great many emergency extensions, the Department has added and installed fifty seven new water services during the year. This is two less than the preceding year. Of this number, eight were made available by means of the extensions. The number of takers using water for the year or any part thereof, have materially increased from a 1938 maximum of 237 takers in com- parison to 300 takers as the maximum during 1939.

SUMMARY
The year 1939 has been the most active since our plant has been in operation although the Department has operated on a lower appropriation than either of the two preceding years. The records show we have had our most successful year to date and the gross income for the third year in succession has exceeded the maintenance and op- erating expenses of the Department by a very reasonable margin. The Board has worked harmoniously during the year for your best interests and sincerely hopes it has merited the confidence of the citizens in our efforts.

On January 1st, Mrs. Madeleine J. Crowell resigned as Assistant Librarian after having held that position for ten years. We have been fortunate, however, in securing the services of Mrs. Howard C. Cahoon to serve as Assistant Librarian.
At the Annual Town Meeting Mrs. Crowell's term as Trustee expired, and as she did not care to run for this office again, this vacancy was filled by Mrs. Charlotte P. Sims, who is acting as Treasurer of the Board.
The circulation of books this year has been about eleven thousand. Baskets have been sent to North Har- wich, South Harwich and East Harwich each week, thus giving the townspeople in these sections privileges of the Library, which they might not receive otherwise.
The Rogers group of statuary is visited by many, and has become widely known, because it is one of the largest collections in existence.
Mrs. Elloise Larsen's book on "Staffordshire China," has been added to the shelf of Harwich authors.
-67-
Two new book cases have been bought for the young people's room, and new chair cushions for the main library room have replaced the discarded ones.
The land at the rear of the building has been graded and a driveway laid out.
Book reviews of many new books have been pub- lished in the Harwich Independent. The Trustees wish to thank those who have attended to this, and any and all who have given books or gifts to the Library.

MILDRED B. PAINE, HILLARY M. LECLAIRE, CHARLOTTE P. SIMS,

HERRING COMMITTEE REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Voters of Harwich, Mass.
Your Herring Committee beg to present for your consideration the conditions under which we have been placed by the absorption of our prescribed duties, which are clearly defined by Acts of 1787, 1813, 1824 and 1834 Mass. Special Laws.
At present we vote in town meeting to sell the fish- ery rights, your herring committee is not advised as to the conditions of sale and are therefore in no position to act às their prescribed duties require them to do, all we can do is to receive the complaints, we are not in a position to regulate conditions.
Our Herring Laws are easily understoood, they were made before there was a 'joker' in every law, briefly your committee's duties are as follows: Act of 1787 gave the committee the power to keep the stream free from jams or obstructions which retard the herring from reaching the spawning pond.
Penalties for taking herring, etc.
Act of 1813 Chap. 57, Mass. Spec. Laws.
Sec. 1. That the inhabitants of the town of Harwich be and they are hereby authorized and empowered by their committee annually chosen in the month of April or March to dispose of the fish called alewives as they may deem proper.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted that the committee aforesaid shall pay over to the treasurer of said town of Harwich on or before the first day of January annually,

all the net proceeds of the sale of such fish for the use of said town; and any committee appointed as aforesaid that neglect or refuse to pay over as aforesaid all the monies they shall receive as aforesaid shall forfeit and pay for each offense a sum not exceeding $200.00 nor less than $50.00.
Act of 1824, Chap. 107, Mass. Spec. Laws.
This act forbids the seining of herring within one mile of Herring River, also penalties for same.
Act of 1834. Extends time from April 25 to June 20 that the streams shall be kept open.
The above briefly states the duties of the Herring Committee and in order that your committee may fully carry out their work it would seem advisable that the whole herring situation be left with your committee and thus eliminate much of the past controversey.
We have many complaints during the year, mostly for trespassing, taking of roe and leaving a nuisance, catch- ing a herring etc. Our prescribed duties do not give your committee the authority to cope with these conditions, other town departments have the necessary authority.
We want to thank the bog owners for their coopera- tion in maintaining fishways at all necessary points.
Since 1787 the town of Harwich has received, the revenue from the herring fisheries and we still depend on the good nature of private owners for a seining pool, there- fore we recommend at this time that a commitee be ap- pointed to investigate the advisability of a town owned pool and report at the next annual town meeting. If we could have complete control of pool we will have improved many of the most objectional conditions which we have at present.
