ART. 45. " To see what action the Town will take in re- gard to metering water used for domestic purposes, and make any necessary appropriation."
The Committee to whom Articles 44 and 45 were referred made the following report as a majority report : -
Arlington, March 7, 1904.
To the Town of Arlington :-
The Committee appointed at the Town meeting held Nov. 16, 1903, to consider the subject matter of Articles 16, 17 and 18 of

TOWN RECORDS.
the warrant, referring to the adoption of meters as a means of measuring the amount of water delivered to the citizens and determining the amount to be paid therefor, has considered the same and reports as follows :
After studying the subject, in the opinion of the committee the cost of assessing and collecting the water rates will be in- creased from two thousand ($2,000) to three thousand ($3,000) dollars per year if meters are installed.
In view of the present condition of the finances of the Town, a considerable sum which will have to be raised by increased water rates or taxes to pay for installing and care of meters, and in view of the fact that any saving in the amount of water used will not in any way decrease the amount of the Metropoli- tan water assessment which is paid to the State, it is not advis- able to introduce meters on domestic services at the present time.
In other words while it is admitted by all that the water rates are most equitably assessed by the use of meters, it is not advisable to tax ourselves at the present time a large sum annually simply to make a more accurate division of the water rates, however much it is desirable to do so in the abstract.
