Very satisfactory." is Pertland's
report after four years experience in
municipal water plant ownership. The
annual report of the trustees, just sub
mitted. shows that the water district
has in the four years paid all operat-
ing expenses and interest charges and
now has on hand property or sinking
funds, available To meet its obliga-
tions, to the amount of SAL, 557 in eX-
cess of all liabilities. The present val
ne of the plant is approximately 81
400 600 in excess of the value year
ago. The water rates have been re-
duced. The auxiliary pipe line from
Sebago Lake will be ready for opera
ton early in the summer. Its length
is nearly Is miles and its cost about
s, COG. 600. An outlet will be made in
Gorham and NNestbrook and connec-
tons made on Capisic street and Front
street to increase the supply and pres
sure in the Deering District. AuXil-
larry mains have also been laid within
the old city limits. a greater water
pressure on Munjoy Hill than has ever
been attained at that point is prom
ised.

A remarkable office holding record
is that of the Kilby family of Den
nysville. Washington county. The de-
partment established the office at
Dernysville Feb. "A, 1900, while Maine
was yet a province of Massachusetts.
The postmaster, then appointed and
qualified, Was William Kilby. he held
the office till Dee 6, 1925, when John
Kilbv was nominated as postmaster
and qualified. The record shows that
the successive postmasters and the
dates when they assumed office at
Dennysville were: cyrus III. Kilby,
Aug. 20, 1852; Benjamin Kilby. April
Is. 1854. Howard II. Kilby, Dec. p.
1876: Herbert Hallowell Ia member OF
the Kilby family), Feb. q. 1856; Edwin
FL. Smith, June Is, 1887; Howard ii.
Kilby, June /, 1899; William p. Fen
derson, July /. 1899; II. Howard Kilby,
June 80, 1897, and Horace p. kilby,
Feb. 10, 1912 The latter is only acting
postmaster for the present, but Will
become fullfiedged postmaster at Den
nysville as soon rs he gets through
with his civil service examination.
Tie first break in the Kilby postal line
was with Edwin H. Smith, who, 1T is
understood here at Washington, was
Democrat, coming in during the
first Cleveland administration, and
the second break was with William 7.
Henderson, who came in during the
second Cleveland administration. Ut
is said that the line of Kilbys given
above consists largely of father ana
son. The pay of the postmaster in
former years probably was pretty
small, but the salary nowadays is be-
tween 500 and $500.
