PIPE LAYING.
Fourteen proposals were received for pipe laving, as follows :
Charles H. Eglee
$29,959 50
John O. Haskell 30,599 30
Charles H. Rollins 27,157 55
Daniel Dacey & Co. 27,529 75

27,435 20

C. P. Horton & Co. 28,652 10
Ferris & Halliday .
29,465 55
John T. Langford .
25,748 75
The contract was, after careful consideration, awarded to John T. Langford, of Newton, who began work July 14th, and has pushed the work along as fast as possible, but the ground freezing up early in December he was unable to complete the work, there being now about 3,000 feet of six-inch pipe to lay. The water has now been in the pipes already laid about three weeks, and the work appears to have been well done.
At the last annual town meeting, it was voted that grades be established on streets to be piped. This has been done by the Road Commissioners and the pipes have been laid to conform to those grades. This has increased the cost of laying considerably, as nearly all the deep cuts were in ledges making 394.8 cubic yards extra rock cut at $5.00 per yard, $1,974; and 506.7 cubic yards extra earth cut at $0.50, $253.35, making a total extra cost of $2,227.35, which was not included in the estimate made by the engineer.
PUMPING STATION.
The pumping station, a substantial brick building, is located on the east side of Mill street, on land purchased of the heirs of J. H. Sanborn for $200, comprising about one acre.
.
67
Two proposals were received for laying the foundation for the pumping station and chimney, as follows :-
H. C. Watson, of Reading $2,900 00
M. Forbes & Son, of Reading . 5,700 00
The contract was awarded to H. C. Watson.
For the building and chimney three proposals were received.
F. H. Tarbox, Boston $9,678 00
Sampson Clark & Co., Boston 6,995 00
Gooch & Pray . 6,373 00
The contract was awarded to Gooch & Pray, and the building is nearly completed.
PUMPING MACHINERY.
The following proposals were received for pumping machinery :-
Geo. F. Blake Manufacturing Company, one pump of 1,000,000 gallons capacity and two boilers, $9,297; two pumps 600,000 gallons capacity, each, and two boilers, $10,247
Deane Steam Pump Company, one pump of 1,000,000 gallons capacity and two boilers, $9,248 ; two pumps 600,000 gallons capacity, each, and two boilers, $10,280.
The Gordon Steam Pump Company made a proposal, but, as it was not based on the requirements of the engineer's plans and specifica- tions, their bid was not considered. After visiting several pumping stations where different machinery was in operation, we awarded the contract for two pumps and two boilers to the Geo. F. Blake Manu- facturing Company. This machinery has been set up at the pumping station, and, although not all completed, is working well.
FILTER GALLERY.
The source of supply recommended in our report of March, 1890, was from wells near the Ipswich River, where a few experimental wells had already been driven. Before making contracts for this . part of the work, it was suggested by the engineer that possibly a further test of the conditions existing below the surface at the proposed source of supply might prove more favorable to the con- struction of the Filter Gallery mentioned in his report, than the wells already driven had indicated. Continued tests were made during
68
the spring and summer, and in August we were advised by the engineer to substitute a Filter Gallery at an estimated cost of $9,000, for driven wells at an estimated cost of $5,931.
Our advertisement for proposals resulted in one bid only, from Mr. C. P. Horton, of Somerville, for $8,000, which proposal he after- wards withdrew. We then asked for proposals from other parties, and one was received from Mr. J. H. Leavitt, of Boston, offering to do the work for $16,000. We also received from him a proposal that he would furnish men, engines, boilers, pumps, etc., at a certain stated price per day ; and this latter proposal, by advice of our engineer, we accepted.
Work was commenced at once by Mr. Leavitt, and prosecuted with as few delays as could be expected, considering the season of the year, his work having been completed during the month of February.
We here submit a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures.

The above statement shows a balance of $13,522.94 which can be expended for constructional purposes.
The cost of service pipes and connections must be deducted from this amount, say $5,000, (about 30 per cent. of which will be repaid by the consumers) and certain uncompleted work connected with the filter gallery.
There will be a final balance in our favor of about $10,000, and the Board would recommend that they be allowed to expend this in the erection of a dwelling house for the engineer on land owned by the town, adjoining the pumping station, for a tool shop and storage building combined, and for piping such additional streets as in the judgment of the Board may seem for the best interest of the Town.
The materials used in the different parts of the work have been the best of their several kinds, and on all important contracts public competition was invited.
The experience and good judgment of our engineer, Mr. M. M. Tidd, has been of great benefit to us, and the fact of our completing the works, including increased expenditures caused by change of street grades, by the filter gallery and other changes from original plans, within the sum stated by him in his estimate, is evidence of the careful study and attention to detail given to its preparation.
In September, 1890, Mr. L. M. Bancroft was, by vote of the Board, appointed to serve as Superintendent of the works for one year from October 1, and in January, 1891, Mr. Frank F. Strout was appointed Engineer in charge at the pumping station.
Thanking the citizens for their hearty co-operation with us, and for the general good-will and courtesy shown to the Board on many occasions, we remain,

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS :
I herewith present my report for the year ending March 1, 1891.
As the works are not yet completed and are not considered as being in operation, but are still in the hands of the contractors, the principal work of the superintendent has been the putting in of ser- vice pipes and the general superintendence of construction.
The laying of service pipe began November 6, 1890, and to the present time one hundred and thirty applications have been received, and sixty services have been laid, two of which are large pipes to factories for fire protection.
There has been laid 2,604 feet of & inch cement lined pipe, 1,421 feet of which is owned by individuals, and 1,183 feet by the town. Forty-four feet of six inch cast-iron pipe has been laid for fire service in two factories, the cost of which is charged to the owners, as no charge is made for water for fire protection.
The water has been turned on and is being used in thirty-three houses, but, owing to the uncertainty of the new machinery and pipe lines being in perfect order, it was thought best not to charge water rates before April 1st.
MAIN PIPE STOCK IN YARD.
36 feet of 12 inch pipe ; 70 feet of 10 inch pipe; 18 feet of 8 inch pipe ; 696 feet of 6 inch pipe ; 60 feet of 4 inch pipe ; one 12 inch, one 10 inch, one 6 inch, one 4 inch gates; two gate boxes ; two hydrants ; one 8 x 8 x 4 inch T ; three 6 x 6x 6 T's ; five 8 x 8 x 6 inch T's ; two 6x6x4 inch T's ; one 8 x 6x8 inch T; two 10 x 10 x 10 inch T's; one 12x 12x8 inch T; three 12x12x6 inch T's; four
78
6 inch sleeves ; five 8 inch sleeves ; three 10 inch sleeves ; twelve 8 inch plugs ; one 6 x 6 x 6 x 6 inch cross. We have also on hand, on the street, pipe enough to lay all unfinished proposed lines.
In conclusion, I would recommend that at your earliest convenience you build at the pumping station a house for the engineer, and at some convenient location near the centre of the town a shop for the use of this department.
Respectfully submitted,
LEWIS M. BANCROFT.

The town will in all cases furnish and lay the service pipe from the street main to and through the cellar or basement wall and provide on the end thereof a stop and waste valve, and the owner of the premises shall in all cases pay for that portion of such service pipe as may be laid within his premises, together with the stop and waste valve, except for buildings located on the street line, when the distance will be measured from the outside edge of the curbstone. In no case will the main be tapped more than once for the same premises, unless the additional ex- pense is borne by the owner.
