WARREN A. PEIRCE,
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
It is with deep regret, that we are called upon to note the death during the year of a member of the commission, Mr. Warren Rawson.
In his death the commission loses a worthy and useful member, and the town a good citizen.
Mr. Rawson was a man of pronounced ideas, and stood for what was right with an honesty of purpose, that is worthy of emulation.
The annual report of the Water Commissioners for the year 1893 is herewith submitted :
Your commissioners are glad to be able to report an in- crease in water rates received in 1893 over 1892.
Amount received in 1893, $17,592.66, an increase of $1160.39 over 1892.
The experiment of turning the course of the brook to the filter gallery, from whence the water flows to the main dis- tribution pipe, has proved to be a judicious and satisfactory one.
We think it as apparent to all who have used the water that the quality has been very much improved thereby ; also a good supply has been continued to the town both as regards domestic and farming requirements, in so far as the established distribution facilities would allow.
Additions to the latter have been made during the year, by the laying of main pipe, viz. :

Sawin court, 1 1-4 inch iron pipe,

Total pipe laid, 2,987 feet
Seven fire hydrants have been set this year, viz. :
Three on Jason street, two on Prescott street, one on Russell street, and one on Arlington avenue, opposite Wood's ice tool factory, making the present number of hydrants 124.
The laying of a drain pipe which was begun last year, to take the drainage from the Winship Farm (which formerly flowed into the reservoir) to the waste brook below the reservoir, has been completed at a cost of $274.64. We have laid this year 52 street services, at an average cost of $1028, an increase of 9 services, over those laid in 1892.
After deducting the usual running expenses, together with $11,020, interest on water scrip due Jan. 1, 1894, we have a balance of cash on hand to the credit of the water works at the end of the year 1893 of $3909.85.
This fact accounts for the absence of the call for an ap- propriation to meet the deficiency in water scrip, and for the purchase of new iron pipe, an article which made its annual appearance in the town warrant up to the year 1892. Value of stock and materials on hand Dec. 30, 1893, $1378.79.
For a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures, we refer you to the Treasurer's report.
We have been to the usual expense in care of reservoir and brook, much vegetable growth requiring removal each year.
This year has been up to the average as regards pipe breakage, something to be expected until such time as the cement lined is replaced by cast iron pipe.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
In reply to inquiries we would say that the water supply of the town is furnished under two methods.
The amount of water furnished by the filter gallery alone, not being sufficient for all purposes in the summer months, the course of the brook is changed during this season, direct to the gallery. In the winter, less water being required, the brook is turned to flow to the reservoir, the filter gallery furnishing a sufficient supply. At no time of the year has water been taken into the main distribution pipe, direct from the reservoir. In accordance with a vote of the town a water gauge was provided.
A test was made under the supervision of Superintendent Roden, and the amount of water used by the town during the time commencing June 23 and continuing to August 16, was as follows :
Maximum amount of consumption, on days of large draught, by farmers, for use on lawns and watering streets, about 1,000,000 gallons in 24 hours.
Some hours during this time showed a draught at the rate of about 1,800,000 gallons in 24 hours.
Estimated ordinary consumption during winter months 400,000 to 500,000 gallons in 24 hours.

The question of water supply is still before us. It is a question not confined to this town, but is being agitated by many communities at this time, as to from what source an adequate supply of water is to be obtained. Our large cities are awaking to the fact that present arrangements are insufficient for a supply.
At the present time, the State Board of Health, by authority of the State, are investigating the feasibility of es- tablishing what is to be called a metropolitan system ; and when completed, it is proposed to include not only the city of Boston, but all cities and towns within a certain radius.
From what information we are able to obtain the State Board are of the opinion that such a plan will be consum- mated, and in the near future.
With this idea in view the commissioners would suggest that this may be a way out of our present difficulty, and think it would be well for the town (acting on this sugges- tion) to defer action on the question of water supply for the present, and await developments in the direction now being pursued by the State through the State Board of Health.
Respectfully submitted.
