Mr. Collins presented a list of supplies necessary
for carrying on the regular maintenance in the Water
Department. The Board recommended the purchase of these
supplies the estimated cost being $1100.00 of which
appromimately $850.00 was for meters.
Many requests come in throughout the year for
testing house water-meters so many in fact without justifica-
tion that it has become a nuisance. The Board has therefore
ruled that a charge of , 00 dollars is to be made where the
results of the test do not show an error of more than
percent in favor of the Town. This charge is allowed under
Chapter 165, Section 10 of the General laws.
Mr. Ives requests a sewer connection through Pratt
Street to his home on Summer Avenue.
