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,
