The Trustees of the Robbins Fund make the following "report of their doings" during the past year :
The fund of $5000 is deposited in the Arlington Five Cents Savings Bank. The interest on the same from Jan. 1, 1887, to Jan 1, 1888, has been paid to the Town Treasurer, to be expended under the direction of the Ceme- tery Committee.

ARLINGTON, Dec. 31, 1887.
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS,
The Water Commissioners beg leave to submit the fol- lowing Report for the year 1887 :
It will be seen upon reference to the Treasurer's report of the receipts and expenditures that the receipts for water rates have increased over the year 1886, $672.61, and in two years there has been a gain of $1,657.73. This is a gratifying result, for it will also be seen that the running ex- penses have not increased but on the other hand are $356.90 less than last year.
In accordance with the vote of the town, we have laid main pipes in places where we have found there would be a proper return in water rates for the necessary outlay.
In Grove street we have laid 180 feet of 4-inch iron pipe, at a cost of $129.10. The appropriation made by the town for this pipe was $150, and there is therefore a balance unex- pended of $20.90.
In Wellington street we have laid 513 feet of 4-inch iron pipe, at a cost including one fire hydrant of $393.90.
This is a new street extending out of Pleasant street through land of Dr. Hodgdon, accepted by vote of the town, at the November meeting ; one full plumbed house has already been built on this street, and others are in contem- plation. A good revenue to the town is assured.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
Have laid at John Kelley's, north side avenue, 550 feet 14 inch cement-lined iron pipe, at a cost of $99.97-a good investment.
Have laid in Cottage avenue, leading out of Henderson street, 460 feet of 11-inch cement-lined iron pipe, at a cost of $81.50. Income large.
Laid in Russell court 333 feet of two-inch cement-lined iron-pipe, at a cost of $94.98.
It was found necessary in this case to make the outlay, because of the incapacity of the inch pipe in the Court, it having become too old and rusted to furnish takers on the line what water was needed.
Have laid 270 feet 4-inch iron-pipe on Jason street which completes the whole length of the street, at a cost of $314,- 71. This amount was considerably augmented by condition of the street ; being obliged in order to dig a proper trench to lay the pipe, to do a large amount of blasting. Building has progressed to such an extent on this street that though expensive to lay the pipe, a good income is certain.
New Services.
32 new services have been added during the year at a cost · of $370.08, an average of $11.562 each.
Kenison Suit.
By last year's report it will be seen that a judgment was rendered against the town in this suit for $500, and that an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. A decision has been rendered sustaining the judgment of the lower court, amounting with cost to $891.74, which we have paid. This payment together with the amount paid last year on account

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
of said suit $325.89, foots up as a total payment, $1217.63.
Flint and King Suits.
The suits brought against the town known as the Flint and King suits, for damages by flowage of land in Lexington, have not come to trial. After an investigation of these cases, and advice of counsel, together with the certainty of a large expense, attending a court trial, we have deemed it for the best interest of the town to favor a settlement of these cases. A settlement has been agreed upon ; the con- ditions of which are such that no claim hereafter will be valid.
It will be noticed that the amount appropriated by the town to make up the deficiency of income for the payment of in- terest on the Water Scrip was $7000, which is a reduction of $3000 since 1885 in favor of the town.
The Commissioners estimate that $6000 will be all that will be required for this purpose for the year 1888.
This shows conclusively that there is going on from year to year a reduction of the drain upon the town treasury re- garding its indebtedness on account of the water works. We see no reason why this should not continue and that soon the works will be found to be self-sustaining. There are several applications for extending new pipe the coming year, amount already nearing that laid this year.
Repairs this year have not required very much of an out- lay, though something on hydrants and gates have been ex- pended. We believe they are in good condition, we have had about the usual amount of leaks and breaks, during the year. Whenever occurring they have been promptly re- paired.
The project of renting the room under the Town Hall as a
104
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
place to deposit stock, tools, do work, etc., continues to receive our approbation.
Mr. Thomas Roden has been continued in charge of the work and has given good satisfaction.
It is recommended that the town grants an appropriation for the purpose of extending main pipes, and placing new hydrants where in the judgment of the board it shall be for the interest of the the town to do so.
The Commissioners still hold to many views expressed in last year's report as to the present condition and future re- quirements of the water works. Nothing of special note has occurred regarding the works during the past year.
It is necessary that rules be adopted governing the use of the water. The board trusts that the citizens will strictly con- form to them. They are adopted by the town, and the Commissioners are expected to enforce them whatever they may be.
For detailed statement we refer you to the Treasurer's report.
