proposition to the city, said Jesse
Shaw, superintendent OF the depart
ment Just let the commissioners alone
and let them fight this problem out and
everything will come out as it should.
Interference however will work harm
The report is an equitable one and is
fair in every detail.
"The number of customers are grow
ing and we have made more extensions
during the year than in almost all of
the history of the plant since it was first
built"
An improvement contemplated is an
addition to the city building for housing
the offices of the water department
more adequately. The plan contem-
plated is to construct offices in the area
and drive way which leads from Quincy
street underneath the city building The
rear part of the addition would be used
as a tool and machine shop for the de-
partment. At present the offices are on
the second floor in three small rooms
and the workshop is in the basement.
The total increase in our business
for the year, in all lines, amounts ap-
proMmately to SO. 277 3d." said Mr..
Shaw.
