REPORT ON THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT FUND.
On motion of William E. Parmenter, it was voted, That the town accepts the sum of ten hundred and twelve and 2 dollars, being the balance of subscriptions remaining in the hands of the Soldiers' Monument Committee, and by them tendered, to be held as part of a permanent fund to be held in trust by the town for the care and management of the monu- ment and grounds. The town appropriates the unexpended balance of the appropriation made March 15, 1887, for the curbing, grading, etc., of the grounds, namely, four hundred and twelve and fds dollars, to constitute a part of said fund ; and further appropriates the sum of six hundred and seventy- five and 37, dollars, to be added to the foregoing sums, thus making in all twenty-one hundred dollars. Of said sum one hundred dollars shall be used under the direction of the Monument Committee, for the building of a fence and the adorning of the grounds ; the remaining sum of two thousand dollars shall be established as a permanent fund, to be styled the "Soldiers' Monument Fund" to be placed in the hands of the Trustees of the Robbins Fund for management and investment, who shall report yearly at the annual meeting of the town in March, the income of said fund to be applied, as from time to time may be needed, to the care and manage- ment of the monument and grounds.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
The Water Commissioners respectfully ask leave to submit the following Report for the year 1888 :
The water works continue to show favorable progress as to its financial result. The Treasurer's account of the re- ceipts and expenditures, as can be seen, show that the re- ceipts for water rates have increased this year over those of last year the sum of $572.93 ; this with a balance unexpended of $1186.08 we think carries with it a very good exhibit.
The source from which the increase comes too is sub- stantial, mostly domestic.
The running expenses this year have increased over those of last the sum of $343. This has been brought about by causes some of which were unavoidable ; for instance, the very unusual freezing up of the water pipes last winter which necessitated the expenditure of quite a sum of money, also considerable time and expense was incurred by improve- ments about the reservoir, cutting brush and cleaning up along the border of reservoir and banks of the overflow brook, a thorough cleaning out of the inlet from the
108
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
reservoir along the way up to the tunnel and beyond ; this last was much needed, but now leaves the condition of the water-way to the reservoir all right. , An improved con- dition of the water has been noticeable, attributable, we think, somewhat to the above. More particularly under the head of repairs and changes which might receive especial notice, comes the taking up from out of the middle of the sidewalk in Bacon street, the fire hydrant and moving it into Mill street, thereby relieving the danger of some one sometime getting injured from coming in contact with it in the sidewalk ; and the place in Mill street, to which it has been moved, is quite as serviceable for fire purposes.
We found it necessary to put in a new service for the Messrs. Wood on the avenue, the old pipe having become so rusted and filled up that their supply of water was nearly cut off. Piping anew gives them plenty of water.
Many other lesser matters in the line of repairs, on hydrants, gates, breaks and leaks, has received attention and occasioned quite' an outlay, which can be looked for with quite a degree of certainty as the works grow in age and until much of the original is replaced with new.
We have deemed it expedient to lay main pipes in places in accordance with a vote of the town as follows :
In Grove street 306 feet of 4-inch iron pipe has been laid at a cost, including a fire hydrant set, of $262.97, this added to 180 feet last year gives a total of 486 feet running from Main street.
Cleveland Street.
702 feet 4-inch iron pipe has been laid in this street, hydrant set, both costing $506.35. 1
109
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
This is a new street leading from the avenue near Winter street. Considerably graded, edgestones set, etc. Upon this street have been built three new houses, one of them a double one, others now in progress. Water rates at present re- ceived amount to $49-showing a good per cent. on the outlay.
Wyman Street.
A new street out of the avenue opposite the house of John P. Wyman and through to Broadway. In this street has been laid 405 feet 4-inch iron pipe, a fire hydrant set, at a cost of $325.42. Four new houses have been built upon this street and rates for water which are being received are satisfactory.
New Services.
31 new services have been added during the year at a cost of $388.50, an average of $10.50 each, showing that the cost per service is $1.06} less this year than last.
Flint and King Suits.
The above suits have been disposed of in accordance with the settlement which we referred to agreed upon in our last year's report. All claims by these parties have been ad- justed and the rights of the town fully protected by the execution of proper instruments. In connection with these suits we make mention of another suit for damages against the town brought by Thomas Cosgrove of Lexington for flowage to his land. The reasons we gave last year in favor
110
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
of a settlement of the Flint and King cases applied to this case. It has accordingly been adjusted and there is no other suit against the town arising in connection with its water supply.
The commissioners estimate that the sum of $5000 will be required to make up the deficiency of income for the payment of interest on the water scrip for the year 1889, being $1000 less than the appropriation last year for this purpose. It is recommended that the town grants an ap- propriation 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 town to do so.
It is necessary that rules be adopted governing the use of the water. The board trusts that the citizens will strictly conform to them. They are established by the town and the commissioners are expected to enforce them whatever they are.
Mr. Thomas Roden who has been in charge of the work the past year has as before proved himself proficient in work of this nature.
For detailed statement we refer you to the Treasurer's report.
