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.
