SUMMARY AND DIRECTORY.
THE BOOTHBAY HARBOR WATER PLANT.
At the annual town meeting, Mar. 5, 1894, the selectmen were authorized to construct a system of water works, with sufficient pumping station, standpipe, at least 12,500 feet of water mains and 25 hydrants, providing the same could be done at an expense not exceeding $25,000. The board con- sisted of Charles J. Marr, W. H. Reed and T. J. Emerson. All nearer points of possible supply were examined by compe- tent engineers and pronounced inadequate. Adams Pond was settled upon for the supply. Proposals were advertised for, covering the trenching, furnishing and laying the pipe. Six bids were received and the contract was awarded to Moore & Co., Boston. The works were not completed that year, but twelve service pipes being laid and sixteen hydants set within the year. The pipe laid in 1894 reached 19,527 feet, about seven-tenths being eight-inch pipe and the greater part of the rest ten-inch. In the work of that year 2,557.82 cubic yards of rock were taken out. Early in 1895 the plant was com- pleted at a cost of $37,853.99. Labor and material were at such rates at the time the plant was constructed that, at least, $10,000 was saved from what the expense would have been three or four years later. Pipe was purchased at $21.84 per ton (2,240 lbs.). John H. Blair was the first superintendent, followed by George H. Snow. Richard Latter, occupying the position now, commenced his duties in March, 1900.
Since 1895 some permanent additions have been made each year. Improved pumping facilities have been added and a large amount of summer service has been constructed. There are now about five and one-fourth miles of main pipe laid, properly trenched. The summer service follows :

early in 1906. Nearly all this pipe is two inch, except what crosses, submarine, to Squirrel Island, which is three. There are now 37 hydrants. The estimated value of the system now is $60,000.
