ARLINGTON, Dec. 30, 1879.


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


The Annual Report of the Board of Water Commissioners for the year ending Dec. 31, 1879, is herewith submitted. The Board was organized by the choice of Henry Mott, President, and B. Delmont Locke, Clerk and Registrar. Sylvester Stickney was appointed Superintendent. We have had a permanent sluice-way made at the outlet of the Great Meadows, built of stone laid in cement, so that we think we can retain all the water upon the meadows until such time as it shall be needed in the reservoir; we have no doubt that by this means we shall have a large supply of water, but we have found that the present filter is not large enough to supply all the water needed for all purposes, so that the water had to be let into the main pipe for about 25 days, direct from the reservoir, consequently it was not so good ; this we think can be remedied. We have had the grass and bushes cleaned out from the rip-rap in the reser- voir and for a number of feet around, so that it is now in a good and clean condition. There has been an extension of the main pipe in Chestnut Street from Medford Street ; 425 feet of 4-inch cast-iron pipe has been laid, and one 4-inch gate placed in the same.


Also in Academy Street, 432 feet of 4-inch pipe has been laid to the line at the upper end of the street, and one 4-inch gate, and one hydrant placed in the same. One hydrant on Medford Street has been replaced. There have also been 20 service pipes put in for family use and irrigation. The con-

dition of the main pipe in certain localities is such as to call for almost constant repairs, and we think the day is not far distant when it will be necessary to relay certain portions of the same. We have endeavored to keep the works in as good order as possible, under the circumstances, and at the present time they are in fair condition. The income from water rates has been more than last year, and the running expenses have been increased, for a detailed statement of which, we refer you to the Treasurer's Report annexed to this.
