Few people who are not intimately associated with the work realize the | heavy role the water department plays in the life of the city govern ment and the many duties depending on it. For this reason Commissioner P. J. Egan has compiled a few ob- servations regarding the department in which he includes & record of its performances for about twenty years. The statement shows that in the past two decades the department has re- ceived over a million and a half dol- lars from water rents and has di8- bursed about $600,000 less. Thirty-five miles of pipe have been laid and numerous hydrants have been added. The department paid in nearly $200,000 to the sinking fund and paid $171,000 in bonds as well as redeeming about $50,000 in notes. Commissioner Egan’s statement fol- lows: “A few statistics show the growth of New Britain from 1894 to 1914, using water department results as a criterion. “The receipts from water rent in above twenty years were $1,629,729.73 and from all other sources $72,896.22, making a total of $1,702,625.96.
