REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.
THE Water Commissioners, in submitting their annual report, do not deem it of importance to recommend any alterations or improvements in the works, as there was a committee appoint- ed by the town at a legal town-meeting, held Nov. 10, 1874, consisting of Messrs. William Stowe, George Hill, John. P. Wyman, and John Fillebrown, as experts, to investigate the whole matter of water supply from its incipient stages to that time, and to examine the accounts of the Water Board, and report to the town at a future meeting, which committee will probably make a report in detail at a proper time; therefore this Board will only make a report at this time of the present condition of the works, the additions made to the same, and the financial condition of the water supply account. We have had laid the past year,

be payable in semi-annual payments in advance on the first day of July and January in each year. All charges for specific supplies or for fractional parts of the year shall be payable in advance and before the water is let on:
SECT. 9. In all cases of non-payment of the water rent for thirty days after the same is due, the superintendent shall cut off the supply ; and the water shall not again be let on except upon the payment of the sum of two dollars, and not for the same occupant or owner, except upon the payment also of the whole amount due; provided, that, in cases of specific supplies, or for fractional parts of the year, where the water has been let on, it may be cut off immedi- diately, after notice given at the place that the rent is not paid, and may be let on again upon the conditions before mentioned. And the foregoing provisions shall apply when two or more parties take the water through the same service-pipes, although one or more may have paid the pro- portion due from him or them.

SECT. 12.

They shall be printed upon every bill for water rent, and when- ever any one of them is violated, the water shall be cut off from the building or place of such violation, although two or more parties may receive the water through the same pipe, and shall not be let on again except by the order of the Board of Water Commissioners, and on the payment of two dollars; and in case of any such violation, the said
70
RULES OF WATER-WORKS.

AUDITORS' REPORT.
THE auditors have examined the books and accounts of the Town Clerk and Treasurer, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1874, and find the same to be correctly kept, and the payments properly vouched for.
The auditors take great pleasure in stating that the recom- mendations in their report, for the year 1872, have been adopted.
The Treasurer has, during the past year, opened a set of books by double entry ; an account, with every appropriation made by the town, kept separately, thus showing, at any time, the unexpended balance of each.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE ARLINGTON FIRE DEPARTMENT, FOR THE YEAR ENDING DEC. 31, 1874.
To the Selectmen of Arlington.
GENTLEMEN, - In accordance with custom and duty, I pre- sent this my annual report, in as brief manner as possible, bringing to your notice only such matters as I deem of gen- eral interest.
Membership.
The department consists of thirty-nine persons. One chief engineer, four assistant engineers. Hose No. 2, twelve men. Hose No. 3, twelve men. Hook and Ladder No. 1, ten men.
Additional Apparatus.
In April, I communicated with you in regard to the great need of a Hook and Ladder Truck, which apparatus through your liberality was put in commission July 1, and I believe the town will find it to be a good and serviceable appendage. I take this opportunity to call your attention to the great need of facilities for transporting a larger amount of hose, as it is often required to lay from fourteen to sixteen hundred feet in one line, in order to reach a fire from the nearest hydrant, and we have been obliged to carry hose on the Hook and Ladder Truck, which is very inconvenient. Additional hose has not been purchased, as, having had four fires in one week, we were able to turn out with dry hose at each fire, and our facilities for transportation being limited, we deemed it inexpedient to purchase more at present. We have, at present, twenty-one hundred feet of hose in fair condition, and capable of with- standing our water pressure, which is but sixty pounds per inch ten feet above tide water or at the lowest hydrant.

REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.
Further Facilities.
It is absolutely necessary that the tower of the new hose house should be raised about eight feet to facilitate the dry- ing of hose, it being so low that some of the lengths when sus- pended in the tower lie on the cement floor, which is damp, . and it is impossible to dry them; and in order to have hose last and do good service, they should be dried in twenty-four hours, which would be the case were the tower raised eight feet. I would call your attention to the unprotected condition of a large amount of valuable property, so situated that it can- not be reached by hydrant pressure, and if reached would avail nothing ; also, that the property of the Arlington Land Company has no protection. I would make further sugges- tions, but knowing that this town, like many others, acts in this matter after passing the fire-ordeal, I will wait a more favorable moment.
Appropriation.
I would recommend an appropriation for the current ex- penses for the ensuing year of two thousand five hundred dollars.
To the Citizens.
I would be pleased to have you visit the appartments occu- pied by the department, and to have you inspect the appara- tus, and manner in which it is used, also the manner in which your appropriations are expended, that you may better un- derstand the requirements, and make further appropriations for the same.
