ARLINGTON, Dec. 31, 1886.
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
At the annual meeting in March, the town appropriated $9,000 for interest on Water Bonds and $725 additional for new main pipes and building a fence on Lowell street. After paying $600, which was borrowed on last year's account, and the extra expense of the Kenison suit, $325.89 - making $925.89 - we have a balance of $785.58 remaining in our hands : a condition of affairs upon which we think the citi- zens have reason to congratulate themselves; and unless some extra expense should be necessary, which we do not know of now, we can get along with less appropriation from the town than usual.
It will be seen by looking at the Treasurer's report that our income has increased $985.12 over last year's receipts, and $810.93 more than any year since the works were started, and we feel warranted in saying that our income will still further increase the coming year, making our income from water rates about $12,000, which will be nearly our full capacity with our present works, so that the town must, in the near future, consider some plan to increase our storage capacity and enlarge our main pipe; therefore we think that all new work done in the future should be done with that end in view, as the water-takers are rapidly increasing, and within a short time we must increase our facilities or some of our present sources of reve- nue must be cut off, as water for domestic purposes must be supplied first, so that our income with the present facilities will probably never exceed $12,000 to $13,000. It appears

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
to us that the town must increase its water supply to meet the demands of the rapid increase in population which has been made in the past, and which is sure to increase faster in the future ; also, it will soon be necessary, in our opinion, to make arrangements for a high service, which can only be done by pumping into a stand-pipe or reservoir on the highest point of land available. As our population increases, private sources of water supply become dangerous and unfit for use and must be given up, and the citizens depend more every year on the town supply ; so that we think the subject of pure water and more of it should meet your earliest con- sideration.
Water Closets.
Your Commissioners still think that the town should take some action in regard to the tariff for water closets, as rec- ommended in our last annual report.
Fence on Lowell St.
At the annual meeting the town made an appropriation to build a fence on Lowell street, northerly of the storage res- ervoir. The contract to build the same was awarded to Mr. Edward Storer - he being the lowest bidder - for $192.75, the length being 1,280 feet ; the cost of painting making a total of $264.22.
New Pipe.
We have laid new pipe on Jason street, and placed a hydrant at the proper distance, at a cost of $280.28, and it will be necessary to continue the pipe nearly the entire length of the street in the spring, as there are several new houses to be built next year. The extension from Brattle

street, for which an appropriation of $75 was made, has not been done, as we did not think it advisable on the part of the town to lay pipe on private lands without satisfactory guarantee from the owners. We, therefore, put in for Mr. Hill a new service as far as the street line, he laying the remainder at his own expense.
Repairs.
All the gates and hydrants have been tried and thoroughly repaired and are now in good condition. In some sections of the town the cement pipe is in very bad condition, especially is this the case in the easterly section of the town. The number of leaks this year has been less than usual but more costly to repair, as in a great many cases they were new leaks where the old pipe was entirely gone, which necessitated the putting in of new pipes, and in our judgment there are several places in town where it would be economy to relay the pipes, putting in iron in place of cement, instead of making constant repairs as we are now compelled to do. The iron pipe on Linwood street has for the past two years been a source of trouble as the joints were made with cement and were constantly leaking, we have repaired nearly every joint with lead.
New Services.
There have been 33 new services added this year at a cost of $399.63, or $12.11 each.
Kenison Suit.
The suit which has been pending for several years between Dr. Parker Kenison of Lexington and the town for flowage damage came to trial at the September term of the Superior Court at Lowell, and a judgment against the town of $500
105
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
was rendered, but your board, not deeming it for the best interest of the town, have appealed from the decision, and the case has been carried to the Supreme Court and we are now awaiting their decision.
Extensions.
Your board have received several applications for water on Grove street, but have ,not considered it expedient without the town making a special appropriation for the same, up to the present time, but now we think the income to be derived will warrant the expenditure, and would recommend that the town lay a new pipe about 600 feet, and the income at first would be about $40 and would increase in the future. As the surveyors of the highways contemplate laying a culvert through this street the expense might be somewhat lessened by doing both at the same time. We would also recommend an extension of pipes on Teel and Henderson streets.
Conclusion.
Since April 1st Mr. Thomas Roden has had charge of the work and has given entire satisfaction. We have rented a room in the basement of the Town Hall building and fitted it up for a work-shop, adding from time to time such tools as were necessary. We think the Treasurer's report will prove satisfactorily that this method is the most economical for the town. We would recommend 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 town to do so. We trust the citizens will strictly conform to the rules as adopted by the town, thereby relieving the commissioners of unnecessary trouble and expense. For detailed statement we refer you to the Treasurer's report.
