EXCELLENT REPORT BY
 WATER COMMISSIONERS.
Receipts Are Close to Last Year, AL though Low Water and Closed ln- dustries Cut Big Hole in Income Much Work Done.

The 36th annual report of the water department, submitted to the common council Monday evening, for the year ending March 31. 1909, states that the general business depression prevailing during the year has seriously affected the income of the department. Very many empty tenements have been abated, and the use of water by many of the manufacturing establishments has been diminished. These combined conditions have made the receipts less than the preceding year:
