OwOsso, Mich, April I, 1898.

Gentlemen-We herewith submit to you our
annual report of the Board of Public Works for
the year ending April l, 1898.

G. w. Matthews, one connection.
l.. Il. Woodland, one connection.
ID. Calkins, four connections.
II. @. Beckwlth. one connection.
H. Oliver, one connection.
The cost of these connections was spread on
the tax roll and with one exception were col
lected and given to the proper fund, O. w. Mat
thews property, being returned.
Permits TO the number Of seventy-three were
issued during the year 1897 which goes to show
that the water works service Is growing and that
more demand will be made for water and pump
ing capacity.
I am of the opinion that this demand can be
obvated by the use of the meter system, which
will give better satisfaction than the present
system to all concerned. 1t will keep down ex-
penses save waste of water, pressure, and inn
prove the fire protection. Save all friction be-
tween officials and consumers, and make every
water taker his own inspector.
To the consumer II means lower rate f0r
water bills, permits him TO sprinkle when and as
much as he chooses, and makes II possible TO
have as many fixtures as he chooses without In
cresfsing his bills, except for water actually used.
Some cities are adopting a. rule that all new

Three fire hydrants were placed on these
mains giving more fire protection for the dis.
trcts where the mains were laid.
Six flush tanks were built and are now In SER
vice which increases the consumption OF water
to that amount.
Water meters we're placed on twenty-nine SER
vice pipes making u total of fifty-nne premises,
being supplied by metered water, all giving good
satsfac tiOn to consumers and city.
The water mains on south Water street were
taken up and removed about fifty feet east from
its old position, and special casting put In
which makes 1t psssbe to place fire hydrant
there for additional fire purposes should IL De
thought advisable.
BY resolution of the council, water and sewer
connections were ordered built In the paving
district, and the following water services were
constructed running from the water mains 10
