ARLINGTON, Dec. 31, 1875.


REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS.


THE past year has been one of the most expensive years we have had since the introduction of water into the town, and probably more so than any one for many years to come. The extra expenses of the past year have been caused by various circumstances. In the first place, last winter was the most severe one we have had for many years. There being but a light snow-fall, the frost penetrated the earth to an unusual depth, freezing and bursting some of our main as well as many of the service pipes, which was expensive to put and keep in order.


Another and much larger outlay has been in the purchase of land and other property, settlement of damages, &c., which items will appear in their proper place in this report. We have also laid four-inch mains in Linwood Street, two-inch mains in Dudley Court, set all necessary gates and hydrants for said pipes, the expense of which will also appear in its proper place in this report. Although we have increased our number of water-takers ten per cent, the income has not fully met the expectations of your commissioners. The principal cause has been in not receiving so large an income from parties using water for irrigation as was anticipated.


The works are now in good order, and we see no reason why they may not be kept so with very little expense.
