EXTENSION OF MAINS.
In all there have been laid 862 feet of twelve-inch, 4,068 feet of ten-inch, 2,139 feet of eight-inch- and 8,374 feet of six-inch pipe to extend the high and low service systems at a total cost of $14,493.52. In addition 3,627 feet of ten-inch pipe was laid to replace the old cement main on Massachusetts Avenue between Mill and Brattle Streets at an expense of $5,715.78, making the total cost of all the new mains $20,209.30. The low service main on Walnut Street between Massachusetts Avenue and Walnut Court has been discontinued.
In the fall of 1911 an appropriation was made for laying a new water main through Brattle Street for the purpose of increasing
248
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
the supply to the Symmes Arlington Hospital. During the year a sufficient supply to the Hospital has been maintained by in- creasing the pressure on the Brattle Street main.
A new reducing valve has been placed in the Massachusetts Avenue main at Highland Avenue with the intention, if necessary, of removing the old valve to Summer Street near Grove Street, which would increase the pressure about seventy-five pounds, and thus avoid laying a new main in Brattle Street.
At a Town Meeting held in July the Board was given authority to replace the cement main between Mill Street and Forest Street on Massachusetts Avenue, with a cast-iron main. This allows the cement main from the Reservoir to Mill Street to be used for an independent supply of water from the old Reservoir for the purpose of supplying water for irrigation purposes, foun- tains, street watering, etc. From Mill Street to Water Street, the old cement main was repaired and in some places replaced with a new cast-iron main and the water from the Reservoir is now available at the New Town Hall. It is probable that the old cement main between Water Street and Medford Street on Massachusetts Avenue is more or less broken, and should be replaced with a cast-iron main. When this is done with necessary repairs on the Medford Street main, water from the Reservoir can be used at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery and also at the Cemetery on Pleasant Street and the Spy Pond Playground.
Table 7 shows the cost of new mains. This cost includes a proportionate part of the indirect expenses of the Department.
MAINS.
The lengths and sizes of cement-lined and iron pipe in use , January 1, 1913, together with the number of hydrants and gates on the high and low service and the reservoir systems, are shown in the following table.
The total of all is 42.8 miles of pipe, 430 hydrants and 380 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.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
SERVICES.
One hundred and seventy-two new services have been added during the year, and twenty-six services abandoned. There are for all purposes 1,355 services on the low and 1,007 on the high service system, four services on the Reservoir system, thirteen services have been changed from the low to the high system, and two have been changed from the high to the low system. On the Metropolitan Water Supply there are nineteen services for municipal buildings, twenty-two for street watering standpipes, and thirty-two for sewer flushing purposes included in the above. On the Reservoir supply there is one service for the new Town Hall, and three for street watering standpipes and ten hydrants. On January 1, 1913, 184 services were temporarily out of use. Because of insufficient supply of water twenty-eight services inside the street line were replaced with cement-lined pipe at the expense of the owners.
METERS.
One hundred and thirty-four meters were set on services in- stalled during the past year, twenty-six meters were set on ser- vices which went into use this year which have been installed since January 31, 1907, at which time, Chapter 524, Acts of 1907 made compulsory the metering of all new services. Two hundred and sixty-one meters were set on old services, making the total number of meters set this year, 421: At the end of the year, all services on the high service system were metered. The total number of meters in use January 1, 1913 is 1,957. All but about 15 per cent of the services are now metered and it is intended to have all services metered early in the year 1913. When this is done data will be available for purposes of studying the rates with the possibility of a reduction. The cost of reading the meters amounts to 26 cents per meter for the year; the cost of repairs, reading and care of meters amounts to 80 cents per meter per year.

HYDRANTS AND FOUNTAINS.
Three two-way hydrants on Massachusetts Avenue near Palmer and Wyman Streets were exchanged for new hydrants with steamer connections. All hydrants set during the past two or three years and to be set in the future will have steamer con- nections. It is intended to paint hydrants in such a manner that those on the high service system may be distinguished from those on the low service system.
The bubble fountain purchased last year, and set at the Centre, was in use throughout the year, but owing to acts of vandalism during the season 1911, the fountain at Arlington Heights was not in use during the season.
The water supplied by the Metropolitan Water Board has been of good quality and the quantity as measured and reported was as follows:
