The total of both systems is 39.7 miles of pipe, 414 hydrants and 349 gates. In addition there are 4,448 feet of smaller pipes, two- inch to one and one-quarter inch laid in places where hydrants were not needed and the amount of water required was small.
SERVICES.
One hundred and twenty-six new services have been added during the year and ten services were abandoned. There are 1271 services on the low and 910 on the high service system, 71 in use by the Sewer Division for flushing sewers and 27 services for street watering standpipes. Many complaints of insufficient supply of water were received and forty services inside of the street line were replaced with cement-lined pipe at the expense of the owners.
TABLE 7.
Shows the cost of the new mains. This cost includes a propor- tionate part of the indirect expenses of the department.

Eighty-five meters were set on services installed during the year. Thirty-six meters were set on services which went into use this year which have been installed since December 31, 1907. One hundred and twenty-seven meters were set on old services. The following table shows the make and the number of the various sized meters in use, making a total of 1536 now in use.

DRINKING FOUNTAINS.
The law prohibiting the use of common drinking cups on foun- tains went into effect November 1, 1910. At this time the old fountains were shut off and abandoned. Three new bubble foun- tains were set, one at Arlington Center, one at Arlington Heights and one on the Spy Pond playground, the expense of the latter being paid from the appropriation for the maintenance of the playground.
The water supplied by the Metropolitan Water Board has been of good quality and the quantity used as measured and reported was as follows:
