Mayor's R,eport for the Year 1901.

DARTM OUT II, ],inuary 2nd, 1902.

To '1'1-11': RATErAYER S OF THE T OWN OF DARTMOUTH:

L ,\OIES AND GENTLEMEN :-Another yea r of the Town ha ving ended on the 31st uh', it is my duty to submit for your consideration my annual report.

STEEL SH IP-BU I LDING~

This matter o f such great moment to this Province as well as to the whol e Dominion, received a great deal 01 attention both from your Council and from th c' Board of Trade. Both bodies recognizing the immense advantage of having yard s built here capable of building steel l>hip3 of any size, prcp;tlcd a bill for presentation to the Legislature authorizing you to vote S 100,000 as a bOnus to encourage suc h an ind ustry. As th e Bill was going through the H e.usc, the Go\'ernm~nt introduc~d on~ of th~ same nature authorizing any Town to giv~ that sum to aid . ship-building. in consequenc~ of this the Bill pr~s~nted by your Council was withdrawn, an d th~ Governm~nt Bill ha ving become law, On June 6, la st, a vote was taken as provided for in the Act. and the resolution adopt~d by your Council to oRcr S 100,000 for that purpose was ca!"ri~d, 25 ' voting for and 16 against. th~ Act thus b~illg carried by a large majority. Whil~ your action has not as yet 1"esuiteJ in the works b~ing established. I feel sure that when th~y are loca ted in Nova 5coti,\, this Town will be the site chos~n. and that then we wiJI see the ~ra of prosperity, for which we have bee n waiting so long.

The principle o f bonusing in d ustries is one th at is some­what diffi cu lt to uphold on its meri ts. but a!; the Legislat ure 5a:l ctio05 it, it is bu t right that th ose T ow n,. which desire to assis t industries t(. locate in their m idst should have the opportu nity to do so. • •

I n th is case th e annual charge would be but 84.000. and if by the e:.:penditure of this su m we could inc rease Ihc populat ion S,W 2000 souls. th e outlar would be paid by the newcomers, to say not hing o f the indi rect benefits.

\Vhat this count ry wa nts is somethinf! to keep our people 31 home and induce those thousand s that are now in the United States, helping to build up a iorcig n country, to (eturn, and the only way to do so is by the establishment of industries where all may find work. Jr the ste p you have t;lken. will even to a sl ig ht extent obtain this o bj ect. it will be a matter for congra tula ti on to tht: Provi nce at 1.lrge.

WATER SUPPI.\".

In the early sum..-:cr th e water had the same fi shy taste a" was Ilc l iced dI e two prc\' ious )·ears. this. wh ile not injurious wa~ so unpleasant that ir· certain localities it could 110t be used A most sea rchin g and thoroug h l'x;unination failed to find a cause for lh e trouble. lln!i l \\'ell on in the su mmer when your superin tendent 01 water works accom­panied by Dr. A. H. Mackay made an other search, -dad ca me to the conclusion that the fi~h)' laste was cau<;ed by countless animal (ulae breed ing on the dead l>tu mps. &c. which surrou nd the shores of Lamont's lake, and dy ing. art: dr.1.\\,n into the pipes. ~ li croscopic tests were made of the sli me which adheres t l.l the stu mps and to the screens, wit h the result that it Iras been p roved beyond a d oubt that the cause o' the bad taste is as stated. The area .)f Lamont's lake is sll1a\l, onl:. about 24 acres. t here is a sw:.mp at the head of it. and the shores abound with small inlets and miry spot s, which a re the breed ing groun ds of

w .

the different species of animal growth which must be got rid 01 before the W:lter is pure. The TOI\"1l now owns the whok of th e ~hores of this lake and among other things it is im penti \·c that the shores be cleaned and a rubble wall built in such s pots as neccssJ.ry.

T vp5a il lake. abo ut 144 acre', seems to be at pr~sent alm os t e ntirel y frf" c from this growth, and to thoroughly remove lIlt' t roubl e from Lamont's lake, a pipe should be laid fro m T opsail direc t to the ma in below the gate-house if this is done Lam ont lake can be drained off entirely. everything- of a deca)'i ng nature gathered togetlH'r and burnt, the 3.c:i01l 01 the weather will kill the growth ad~ hering to th e rccks, &c. The c,onnecti1lg of this main with T opsa il lake direc t, would cost about $1500, there would be but little excavation , as lor the most part the pipes could be laid 011 th e bottom of Lamont's lake, and the pipe used as light as it is possible to cast it. as there would 110 t be any pressu re. To properly clean Lamon t's lake would cos t a further sum of 82500. making a tota l of say $4000. It may well be asked why the water ,remained pure from Nove mber, 1892, the first year it was turned on the TaWil until 1897. and from that on. every spring has developed, the fishy taste more and more evt:ry yea r. The answer to this is. that up to 1892 the wat er had a free run from the lake. which to a very large extent prevented the growth of the animal cul<1!, since that date the wdter has been backed up in the lake <I ud there has been no continuous overflow. cond itions mos t fav ':lUrable for the propagation of those insects which inl est [he wate r. As already stated T opsa il lake at pres­ent is free from the trouble, but if the dang,er is not removed from LamQnt's, it may v.ery shortly appear in the luger lake. and the remedy then would be far more difficult and costly than at present. This matter shQuJd be laid before you at an early datc by th<:: · incoming Council, and the responsi­bility will be on you to say il the trouble be removed or not.

The Council r~eling the n ece.i~i~y of purch as ing the Western shore of Lamont's hkc Irom :vir. lJonovan , to pro· teet not only th e quanti t )' but th e qU i lit}, of the water, entered into negotia tions with the owne r for a s tri p of land 1800 feet long and trom 40 to 200 feet wide. Mr~ 'Donovan fixed the price (or this land a t 82500 a,'nd d ecl ined to take a smalle r sum. Th is was re!erred to rou at a Public Meeting held on August 13th when the project was voted dOWll ,

the impres~ion b~ing that the price was ~xcessi\'e. Su bse­quently it being discovere:1 that the pastu rage of (0\\"5 o n this la nd, and the consequent wash into the lake, was a g reat source 01 danger (as it is on such stuff the animal cula! Iced and . propagate) the Council took ad \'an tage, of th e Act and ex propriated the land. Arb itrat ors were appointed-M r. Jud son Baker by Mr. Donovan. Mr. Alex. Lloy by th e Towr. . and th ese t\\'O gentlemen fa iling to agree upon a th ird. the Chief Justice appointed Mr. And rew Mackinlar-th cv fixed the price at $2 1 ; 0, t he T ow n to bui ld and keep in repair a lin e fence between its proper ty and ~'11 . Donovan. T he e xpenses connected with th e appraisement will b ri ng th e price up to 52)50.

Another grave reason wh)' this land had to be owned by the Town, was because 1\lr. Donovan Claimed dam.l,!!es for the o\'e~ flo\\'in g 01 h is hin d. by reason of the T owil ra ising the water in the la ke above its natu ral level; ,\'bile the Council d id not admit thi s. a Jaw suit would ha".: beell very costly, a nd if Mr Don<'\'~n haC 1I"0 n. a.nd"'t.~I, .I;ki. lowered , the ·dry seaso n woulo commence WIth ~;o c~ gallons of water less than it otherwise would. this loss would be a serious one in a yea r of drought. A ·'a ir con~ sideration 01 this matter will, I think, convince every rate paye r that ' the Counc il in act ing as they di~, had the best interests 01 the Town a t heart .

The Town is und er a great o.oliga tion to Or. A. H . lo.hckay and Supt.rintendent Bishop for the great amount of l ime a nd tab.Jr which they spe nt nie:ht alter night, testing in every way possible the wate r and sl ime of the

lake to find out the cause of the bad taste, and I lecl su re that their g ra tuitous c Rorts in your be half will be duly appreciated.

At my req ues t your Superintendent has made the follow· ing ve ry ex haust ive report, to wh ich I ask your serious consid eration:

T~IE PRO IlAIl LE CAUS E O F TH E FI SHY TASTE AND UN­

PL EAS ANT ODOR 1:-;' T HE DART~IOUTH WATER SUPPLY,

WITH SUGGESTIONS ·PO O R A REME DY.

The Town is supplied from tWI) lakes, Lamont's and Topsai l, th e combi lled area o f wh ich is 163 acres, si tuated about three mil es trO.ll the Town. , .

Lamont's lake has a n area of 22 a::res and for many r ea rs prior to th e in st all ation of the T own Ivater system had been used as a mill p,nd. From this tht: Town supply is drawn. Th ~ d eepest part is 17 ~ ft. This is between the chann el connecting the two lakes and the ga te-house.

Th i" lake has neve r bee n cleaned up, and at the north end wbe re th e brook fl ows in, the water is shallow with considerable mud in th e bottom. Many varieties· )' aquatic plants g row h u e, among whi ch are water lillies of the white

.\ (N)'lIIphr.:n otiorn/rl ) a nd yellow (Nl(phar advma) species. At oth er plac..:s along the shore in the shallow water small shrubery alld gras~e~ a re g rowing. and also a considera ble quantity of a lg;:c .

Topsail lake, 141 a crcs, has less vegetahle matter in it than Lamon l 'S. The shores are mostly rocky, and although in so me places the wa ter is quite shallow, th e botto m is composed of g r,w el and s tO:l es where little or no vegetat ion grows. T he water in th is lake IS believed to be much better than in Lamont's lake.

In the summer of 1891 these lakes were lowered about ten feet (or the purpose 01 building the g,atc- house and deepenjng the channel between the two lakes. Alter bei ng low for some months, du ri ng the constructiOIl of the works, they we re a llowed to filt and the water was · t'\lrned into the Town system on the 15th of November, 1892.

For about fou r years or a little more th e Dartmouth people were congratula~ing th emselves on having the purest and best water of any Town in th e province. But in the spring of 1897 many compla ints were sent in sta ting that the water had a disa~reeable odor. particula rly when being boiled, and that it had a decided fishy taste.

Many theories were advanced as to the cause. Some said it was the fi sh in the lakes, others that it was eels in the water pipe~, and still others that decayed fish was being used as a fe r tilizer on the lands neat the hkes (the

. surfac~ drainage from this land ,does not fiow into the lakes) and, that the odor from this had been c;uried b}' the b reeze in foggy and damp weather in'to the water.

At this time many inspect ions were made of the shores of the lakes to asce r tain the cause, and it was found that at lhe north en d of La mon t's lake where the brook fl ows in, quite a numbe r of large sucke rs (CaloJlomllJ tereJ) had been killed and allowed to lie upon the shore :lnd in the shallow water, and rot. This occu rred during the season or spawning. The fish go up the brook j u ~ t aiter dark in great numbers a ~ is their !labit, lor the purpo.~e of deposit­ing their eggs, where they were attacked by boys, and many were left dead on the g roun d and in the water.

The Town Council then acquired the land around the head of the lake to enab!e it to have cont rol of the shores and particularly of the brook. that means might be take n to abate such nuisances. A loose stone wall w~s then bui lt in the shallow water of the lake enclos ing the mouth of the brook. This allowed the water to percolate through while it prevented the fish from going up the s tream.

11

The action of th"e TOlVn Council in purchas,ing this land , and the provisions made at that time to preven t a recu r­rence of the fi sh nuisance, was wise a nd timely. Latcr it was found that this nuisance was not the sole cause of the flihy taste; lor early in June the following year ( 1898) an d each ~ucceeding yea r up to the present, the sa me unpleasan t taste and odor occurred in the water.

The screens at the ga te-house are 16x 16 (to square in ch) mesh and reta in all the floating material in the wa,ter that fi nds its IVJ.Y tl) them ex cept the fin est part icles. Whi le th e la kes sre not frozen over there is a cons iderable quantity o f m.lte ri,ll retained by the screens wh ich to the n:1ked eye appears like black mud t hickly sprinkled with living organ· ismi that"'c:an be plainly sel:n without the aid of a glass.

Bei ng cu rious to kn ow just wha t this so called black mud was composed 01 I took so me in a dish to the office. I t was not difficult to detect that t his mud had the sa me unpleasant o:1or tha t was presen t in the water when it was bad . and after allowing it to stand fOr a time it produced the most offensive and disgusting odor imagi nab le. This was in September arte r the fi5hy ta ste had lett the water.

A ccompani ed by Mayor Johnstone and Mr: Stevens, chainnll or the Water Committee, and Dr. A. H. Mackay, who 1dndly consented to go with us, we went over both lakes in a boat, and many specimens of aquatic plants and pieces 01 old wood a nd other objects were t«ken from the water by the Doctor for exa mination under the microscope, for the purp~se 01 fi nd ing what orga nisms were most abundant in the lakes, and whether· they were or a ~ind th,lt wou ld give lhe wate r the fishy tas te complained of. It was found that a very large percentage of the organisms were Polyzoa (PIlllllate/la, Pecti"atella and , Crista/ella b ~ing the most common). We also round the material taken Irom the screens to be largely the product of Poiyzoa.

1 regret v<!ry much that the se exa minations w!i=re not mad e at a time,when the water was bad, Or better, perhaps,

During th e last two -months I 'fi nd by th e usc of the microscope tha t th e materia! taken trom the screens is e x cl usive ly a nimal and vege ta ble matte r, j. c: deca yed grasses and leaves. atg:c. insect scales, alld decaying bodies 01 various organisms and theiT parasites.

As std leo above, t he material taken irom the :.cree ns when in .1 d ecomposing cOfldition gives oft a 'o'er}' offens i'l c od or. It is fair to ,Issume that on ly a small per centage of th is mate rial formi ng in the lakes finds it:> way to tb e screens. lea ving larg o.: quant iti es in th e w.lter to decompose .

Dr. Frede ri ck S, Holli ~ in a jou rnal 01 the New Ellgldnd \Vater Works A$50ci1.t io n. v.J ', q. pJ.~e 221. says: • Very .. fell', if any.

" When the food supply of a water is thus. converted into .. a vegetable g rowth. it becomes available food for other .. and It\gher forms 01 life. On aCCQunt of this accumulation " of food mat~ial a storage reservoir commonly deteriorates "from year to year as judged from the standpoint of micro­.. scopic organism .. even thoug-h it receives a compa ratively .. pure water originally free from such growths.

"II the organisms o f the different classes found in a new "reservoi r are plotted on a regular scale for each year from "the time it is first filled it wilt be seen that the vl riety of .. (orms inc reases with each successive year, and that the "number of each class also increases. Fer that reason "1 believe that it is fortunate that in most suppl ies it is "generally necessary to draw dOlVn the water of the reser­.. voir regularly, which serves to remove the accumulated "food material.

"I n.... the study and care of a supply it must be rem~1lt ­, . bered that these grolvt hs, both animal and vegetable, are, ,. as a rule, delicate and dependent for a vigorou~ growth all "the exact conditions of food supply, temper,1ture, and light • . , If all the conditions are not favourable the growths will "not assume proportions sufficient to cause trouble, .. although it may appear to a limited extent,"

The water in our lakes has never fallen more than about a foot or perhaps a little more, but has been kept up to an overflow or nearly so since they were first filled in 1891. This conditio·n is most favorable for a regular and steady increase in both animal and vegetable life. Aquatic plants are much more numerous, and in many places\large patches are growing where eie:ht years ago there Was little or 'no sign of vegetable growths.

This forms an abundant food supply and shelter for the h igher forms of life which have regularly inc reased as the conditions became more favorable.

It is now quite evident that to check this reg ular incre:1se

in Doth animal and ve~etable life that Lamont's lake must be drai ned, and cleaned of all decaying n.atter of every kind, and also cleared of all noxious animal and vege­table growths. It might be advisable to sca-tter dry lime ove r the bottom while the water is out. This wc:hild com­pletely break up the natural a nd favourab le conc!itions under which the animal .organisms are now increasing yoa r by year. This lak~ cou ld then b~ draine d every autumn and left empty for a few. weeks to allow the lall rains to w,ash .t he . bottom a nd carry a\llay the win te r eggs O f stato­bl~st. 01 the polyzoa and sponges as wel!.;!, s the spores of man y other organisms which pass the winter"in a li ke manner .

. The positi on of the gate-h ouse is in a d eep cove where all the wash irom th e land 'a nd movable mat~r i al along the edge' of the lake that ca n be carried by the wind is de­posited. This is certainly a very objectionable feature; as it tends to choke up the screens quickly and. mu ch of the finest material find s its way throug h them an d into the mai ns,

To remedy ' this a '24 'inch crock pipe shoul d be e xtended Ifgm ' the gate-house out about 300 feet into deep water, so that at this point a ll the water coming in to the mains should be collected, .

' ~q' complde' this work it 'will be necessary to extend the \~'~ ter pipe to Topsa il lake. and to build a dam a t the channel to retain the water to suppiy the Town wh ile L~mont's lake is be,ing cleaned.

~: ... : A tren ch should then be made in wh ich a 24 inch crock .. pipe .should be laid and provided with a valve to drain

La mont's lake to the bottOm.

With these altera tions o nce made, all tha t will be necessa ry' ~o clean the lake , will b:: to o? e!l some o f the valves and close others.

Council during the year. Two schemes have been under ·discussion, the taking in of· that piece of lanj lying to the: ~outh of the present cemetery, and the purchasing of an entirely new lot either outside or near the boundary of the Town. A majority of the Council lavor the latter, as in their opinion the extension of the present ground cannot be defended on sanitary grounds. It will be remembered that you were asked to place in the hands of the Council a Slum of money to purchase and lav out a new cemetery. but as this did not at that time meet with your approval. nothing has been done, and the Town to.day is without any place in which to bury the dead. and people who are without lots in the present ground. must, when called upon to part with their loved ones, borro.v from others a portion of their lots until such time as the Town p rovides a suitable place. Is this condition of affairs creditable ~

The state of the present cemetery is such that it is a disgrace to ever)' rate-payer. and reflects anything but credit on those who have it in their power to kee? it in at least a presentable condition. H eaps of rubbish on the roads. paths overgrown with weecls and brambles. I: nces decayed and tumbling down. gates off thei~ hinges. do not impress one with the fact that the last resting place of those we loved and cared for while here. receive;; any attention alter they have been laid to re;;t, If the Town w.)uld spen d but a few .dollars each year in c\eanin~ up the pa ths &c .• it would be an inducement to the owner;; 01 the lots to pay more attention to them than is done at present. and in a short time this spot could be Clade a credit to the 'fawn and a source of pride to all concerned. I m:) . t earne!>tly ask the attention of the incoming Council to this matter. A perusal of the public accounts lor the last lew years will show that thi." cemetery in stead 01 being- a charge o n the funds 01 the Town has been a means of revenue.

TOWN MEETING. As an Act is now being prepared .by the Council to be

presented to th e forthcoming session of t he Legislature to amend and Consolidate the Acts relating to the Town, I suggested to the committee having the matter in charge. the idea of doing away with the Public Meetings as a mealls of obtaining your wishes in bonding the debt of the Town, the committee so far have not reported, and there· lore it is impossible to say if it will be inserted in the bilt or not. In a great many place~ the consent of the Rate­paye rs on such a question is asked through the medium of th e plcbsi cite. this c{H!rse . ~eing followed in la rge cities, and it is really the only fair way ' in which to give each ratepayer the right to say iI his property is to be mortgaged or not. At present very few attend the Public Meetings, and a measure may be tarried or defeated by only a hand­ful of th e ratepayers. A Poll open from say 9 il. m. to 9 p. m. either at the Town Hall or in each Ward, would enable every O<le who desi red to vote to do so, a nd no one wOl!ld be disfranchised a", is s'o often the case und'!r the presen t system.

TOWN H ORSES.

A matter which has been more or less di.;c~ssed the last lew yea rs, has bf:en the idea of the T own owning a pair of ho rses for general work . while $uch a scheme would not save allY money over what is at pre,ent paid out for the variolls se rvices for which the horse~ could be used, still I am sure 1111ICh better 'results would be attain ed than by the PJcsent system. A sta ble built next the Engine House would ensure the horses being always along side. the Engine in case of fire at night. and thus probably saving at t imes a large amount of property, the watering of the streets conld be done much more satisfacto rily thall at present, and th e horses could be used to a great extent in the general street work. A rough estimate of the cost o f the barn. 2 horses. carts a nd ha rness woul d be say $900-and the cost of maint enance including a man 's wages sal $550 per annum , about the same sum now paid out for the

work which these horses would do, This is it subject which might l>fofitably be considered by the next Council. Your attention is call'!d to the following reports.

STREETS AND PUBLIC PROPERT·Y.

The street work for this season has been somewhat different from former year.~, considerable work being done in improvement.; of a permanent character, among which might be men tioned the following:-

Vic tdria Road was widened some yea rs ago by the property owners between Ochtcrloney and Stairs St reets. with the understanding from the Town that the two hills would soon be cut down and the low pi aces graded up', and the street made passable for teams. This promise on th e part of the Town had never been carried out; \and the Town Council having decided the work be done, your Committee stated the wor~ during the winter. as 'the cut~ ting was nearly all solid rock and the work could be done as advantageously as in summer.

The bluR of: rock at the corner of Wentworth ;,nd- North St reets was cut away and tht: s treet at this point .thereby widened and graded.

Another uns-ightly bluff on Edward Street, opposite the property of Mrs. 1\'1. El !iot, was remoJved and the material taken up to grade the north end oL';aid 'street by building a retaining waU acros~ C hu rch St., which was fi!led in with material from the bluff referred to. and a strong fence built there'on to protect the street.

The retaining wa!! on the cast side cf Pine Street, in front of the property of Mr. John White, was rebuilt.

At the east end of Ochthloncy Street a heavy retaining wall was built and a large quantity of earth and stone hauled there to widen the street from the rocl.;- cuttings on Victoria Road and 'Wentworth Street.

19

SIDEWALKS.

4760 feet of 5 x 7 hemlock curbing was laid down. It took considerable labor and filling material to grade up the sidewalks. The curhing is held in place by concrete blocks with iron rod s embedded therein.

AUSTEN VILLE

An unusually large amount of Llobar was laid out this year in impruvin g the streets in this locality. A retaining wal! 200 feet in length was built on the corner of Dahlia and Maple Streets in front 01 the p roperty of the R. C. Episcopal Corporation. .

CULVERTS.

A large stone culvert 65 icet long was laid down on relzant Street near Victoria Park.

The property at the corner of Jameison and Pelzant StrcOs and the Wyse Road has been periodicallyover­flo wed by storm water from the Park land, causing ann oyance and damage. and to remedy this e.,il your Committee had two large open drains ma.rie. one along th e Windmill RO:ld and another acrOS;i the property of Edward \<Varner, costing about $100

Owing to several heavy wash outs at }. W, All ison 's property on Pleasant Street, caused by storm water, the culvert at this place was enlarged and the water sent down the Old Ferry Road,

ENG I NEER'S TRANSIT.

An opportunity being offered to purcha~e an Enginee r's' Transit at a low figure, an d such an instrument being much needed by Dur Superintendent in connection with the street and water service, it was dec :ded to purchase the In ·

strument; its cost was $152.75. and the t ransit is as good as new, and cost originally $225.

Tools and material to the value 01 $245.00 were pur­chased and arc now on hand.

WATER ANI) SEWERAGE.

The following extensions of the water main.1... were made: On Edward Stre(': t the water mai!li.,. were extended 100ft. from the corner of Church street ;Iud North street to connect with the new dwelling house of Henry Mosely,

· 00 Wentworth st reet the six inch main was extended from Church street North to Stairs street and on Stair.; street from Went\yorth street ea~twardly to "the north~east corner 01 Christ Church Cemetery, 228 feet, and two houses on this lin e wert. connected. On Victoria Road an extension was made from Och terlony street north to connect with the new houses built by J L. Hartlen. ThirtY ' leet 01 six inch pipe and seventy_five leet of lour inch pipe wece used. Two hundred feet of three-quilrter in.h ~alvanized iron pipe as laid on the surface 01 the ground from Newman's corner on Upper Water street along Best street as fac as Fairbank's street, and a tap placed at the corner at this point to be used as a public fountain. This improvement has proved to be a great convenienc:;e to the people in thi~ neighbourhood as in summ~r season it WdS almost impossi­ble to obtain good water in this local ity .

• •

HOUSE CONNECTIONS • •

Twenty-three houses were connected wit h the water service besides one stable, one motor and one barber shop.

Se'wer Extensions were made as lollows:- QQ Victoria Road 105 feet of nine inch pive and on Stairs stre'!:t 228 feet "of nine inch pipe.

The value of sewer pipe, water pipe. and other material on hand is $1095.00. $303.00 of this amount was purchaser! and paid for out of thi5 year's receipts.

The screens at the pipe house were regularly cleaned through the season, some lourteen times in all, and the pipe house thoroughly cleansed and flushed out, this pro cess removed a large quantity of sedimeil t which had accumulated. and it \,;'as notic ed that there was a gn:at im­provement in the qu lii ty of the water a fter thi s cleani ng had been done. The cause 01 the bad odor and fi shy taste noticed in the water last summer, has been investigated by your commi tt~e, and i ~ referred to in detail in the Superill­

Observations were made to aSCl'rtain the quantity 01 water consumed. extend ing Irom Ju l), 25th to September 21St, during which period the lakes lell elev.en inch es, the rain fall for ' th is period was 4-69 inches, On September 18th the .vater reached its I()we"t level. f ):.Irteen inches b elow the overflow.

There had b:en for some years stagn ,lIlt pools on the north and south sid es of the channel betwee n Topsail a :ld Lamont lakes. These places were filled in with earth frorn the higher g round on the property, and tbis work made a great improvement and no doubt helped to purily the water. This work was done at a cost qf $128.)2.

Inspection of warer services, fixtures in dwellings. etc. was made last summer. The Superintendent found a great wa~te of water going on and notice was given to all users h.Lving defective taps to have them repa ired. When this

SIR.-I beg to rcport that the health of the town tor the last rear has bec'l) exception:tlly good . Some months ago I att~nded at the Town Ha ll to vaccinate the poo rer clas~. a goodly !lumber turned up at my office. but none at the hall. I am at present repe:\ting the sa me tactics, but not with any great success It is at least deplorable that our pcople ar:e so carelcss about the health and happiness of their OWll people. I have visiud the several schools. anJ Jillgg~stcd many changes in 'the vent ilation. sewerage con­nection' <l'hd water supply.

purpo~es among the many other duties. would bring before your notice, that as the pre"ent water supply from Lamont's la)(e, during the summer month~, b ecomes very turbid and loaded with organic matt er. which matures at the bottom of all shallow sh(:ets of water. a result of in­creased temperature, I wou ld sugge~t that the new pipe house. properly cemented around the loundation , so as to prevent any water Eoing into the pipes save through the · I

proper channel. The house to be located at th e upper pa rt of T opsail lake, wht're the water is some thirty flf forty feet deep. the pipe to be placed so low that no disturbance of the upper surface could aRect the lower stratum. I am of opinion that in the light of present experie uces not hing could be dO lL e with Lamont lake to re nder it as a storage for pure water, save at an enormous expenses.

I remain, etc., T. MILS OM. 1\.L D., C. M. O.

The position of th e Mayor and Coun t:i l is not a sine re, there is a very large amount of time spent looking er you r inte rests, and while they do not expect a ny ,\lard (or their services they would be very mu ch en· uraged if the ratepaye rs at large would take more interest public a Rai rs and .vould endeavor to support the Counc il thei r eRorts to advance tn ! in te res ts of the T own. A t

,resent there seems to me to be a mos. lamenta ble lack of t spi rit which should animate all com muuities desir­

,.--: to prosper, and I feel su re if this s tate .of affairs could , Iy be changed for one where the ci ti zens one aud aU

yQuid sho w an earnest rlc:sire to assist those who for the ti me being they have placed at th t: h ead of affa irs, the result would soon be made manifest in in creased pros· perity.

Report of Board of School Commissioners.

TO THE .AT.tPU'1!:1l!II or T H E T01I"N or D.1RTloI01;TH. ~ .

Ladies and Gefltlunen : As Cha irman o f the BO'lrd of Sch ool Commissionefs.

it is my duty to report to you the progress of ou r schools for the past yea r, but owi ng to the repor ts, 01 the Finance Committee an d SupCU"visor. covering pretty nearly the whole of the subj ec t, I find that there is Ve T}" littlt: left for me to ~ay. and comeque nt ly my report will be bri ef.

W e had very few changes in ou r staff of teac her.i last year; ' Miss Harri s. V. p" 01 Ha wthorne, resigned her position taget married, and Mi ss F. Miller was appointed

··-to till the vacancy thus caused I t was th e n found ex­. ped ic.fit to ma..ke a change in tho: di-;posid nn of some of the

teac hers. and Miss K enn edy was tra usferred (rom Wood-side to . Hawth orne; Mi ss Miller filling thl: vaca ncy at Wood sid e.

Another ~h ange was causerl by the Board granting Miss M. Curri e; six mon ths leave of absence. on account of ill heal th. and allPoint ing .\1i .. s S. Wis:.lom as s ub~titute during her absenct'.

You will see by referring tl) the report of the Finance Committee. that our reven ue for the year W,IS$I 3.249.5 1 and we expencied S 13. 114.93, leaving a balance of S t 34.58 on the right s ide.

W here there are a number of larh'e bu ildings to keep in repai r. the amount of mon :y spent for that service is neeessa ri ly large. I will here state briefly what repai rs were made to th e seve ral buildings:

Carpenter work-Grcenvale.-New spouts. two new doors. platform on east s ide . outs ide ventilator renewed, a nd reshingling the roof of the outbuilding. This work was d one b}' T. Merson. at a cost 01 S I [3-42.

39

Central-Front rool reshingled, tower ~epaired, new steps 'at King .s treet entrance, and also some repairs to back rooL Work done by G. W. Misener. Cost. $157.43

Hawthornc-The repairs to this building were very slight. co~ting only $ 12,

Painters work-Greenvalc.-This building 'r,eccived two coats of paint, and judging (rom it~ impr.Jv..:d appearance. the S [20 paid fur the work, was money well spent. The work was d Olle by Ed ward Bowes.

Hawthorne a:lld N or,th 'Schools . ......;.. The' in .~ i de woodwork was painted at cost o f $55. and was really a work o f necessity. All of the above worj{ was by tender. and the lowest tender accepted in eac H casco

I wi sh to d raw your attention to the supervisor's report whi ch deals largely with the enrollment. and attendance. the figures glVt:1l therein bei n,; very cumprehensive.

We aTC educ:lt ing (roughl y speakingl about twelve hundred childrell. and tJ do this properly, we employ twenty-one tea chers, wh ,) are, gencrall, speak ing. fully a~ effi cient as those of any other school system in the Pro­villce, as th t. work of the several dep.lft ments will show.

The superv isor ill his report. say~, that whe:l a child stays away tram school for a d ,lY. he lose,; not oniy that day. but as his lessons are not prepared lor the next. he is really two Jays in arrears.

Now I would like to impress ufon parents the import­ance 01 children attendinz school regu larly; as much more depenJs upon thi s than is g .:. nerally supposed. Very often tht! teachers and sc hool m.lnagement are blamed for child­ren not bei ng: up to the. stdnJard when Ihe r~al fault lies with the pa rents themselves, who keep the children from school tor t he most triRng causes.

In my report of last year [ urged the' impcrtance 01 pa rents visiting the school", and regret very much that they h'ave not loll owed O'Jt the suggestions offered in that •

report to a much greater extent than they have. The number of visits: made by p;m~:nts are deplorably fe w, which is much to be r~retted, as such visits are looked upon as bright spots in -the day's work; they have a te'ndency to put each schol ar on his mettle and consequently improves the work generally.

All of which is respectfully submitted,

SUPERVISOR'S REPORT

To tire Cllairmall of tire Board of Scnool Commissiol1trs:

S IR,·- I beg to report as fol lows '­

A TTEl\!D .... ~CE.

The n umber of pupils registe red d uring the school yea r endin g Ju ly. 190 1, was 1, 182. T his is a decrease of 4 3 as compareri with last year.

Of th is numbe r tne boys were "603" and ,the ~irls 579. .. ... . \ . Seventy-two of th es e .\\'cre under S. years, 1,07 ' were

between 5 and J 5 ye-ars. 3f.1d . . 39 over ' 5 years. T hese numbers for [900 were 40, 1,142 and 43.

F orty.five pupils attended school le~s than 20 days d uri ng the sc hool year, 11 8 a tt ended from 20 to SO days. '46 from 50 to 1(-'0 "d ays, 29 ' from · leo to .J50 ~ay5. 566 from ISO to 2oudars. an d 16 ove r :z o(' . days. ;~ ~,"

T he number of teachinJ days lor the sl' hnol ' 'yea r was 203 · '. ";,.,

The rectified total day's attendance for 'aU"t he' p~:i) i ls durin g the sc hool year was 154,639.5. . , .'.'

The figures lor '900 were 145.867, wh ich gives ~T) in-creo1!'C (I f 8772.5 as c<.Impared with la s t year. ',.

That is . while the number of pupils registered c!ecrea:sed - 3, the number 01 d a}"s attendance increased 87r;!}S, proving that t~e regular ity of attendan ce has con!ide rably imp roved over tha~ of last yea r. " ,

A nd yd it is very evident that th~ irregularity pi at-• teudance is fa r too great, entailing. loss upon th e ra tepaye r and more- serious loss upon th e pupil, for the loss of one

day's atte nda nce usually means the failure of next day's lessons. So much is t his the case that teachers. ;'\5 a rule, object to a holiday in the middle of the week's work,' since it is very apt to <:opai l the work (or the remainder. • •

According to provincia l grading the attendance is tabu-lated as 10110ws:

HIGH SCHOOL.

'The High school had a very succt:ssful year, perhaps all th ings conside red, the most succe:islul since its inception nine years ago. H ere agai n the main cause was regubrity 01 a ttenda nce. the percentage of this depa rtment r~aching 85. the highest in the whole system. This. combi ned with steady, faithful work on the part of the pupi!s .. and careful attention on the part of t he teacherj obta ined the grati. fying results that not on ly d id they capture the hie-hest percentage of Provincial High ::ichool certificiltcs taken in anyone year. but took them with the hi!!hest individual scores.

KINDERGARTEN.

The e nrollme nt in this departno=n.t durinithe ye.lr lU i

92; the percentage of attendance 58. 1. The work has b~en as usual well up in the front rank, and the inte reit shown by parents and others unftagging.

43

This is best evinced by the , visiting list. While the majority of d epartments can show but a mea~re Ilum~er of visitors. outside of the school officers, the Kindergarten can boast of about 120.

REPORT OF THE DARTMOUTH FERRY COMMISSION.

DARTMOTH, Jan. 2nd, 1'902.

To the Ratepayers of lite TOWIl of Dar/mol/it/it ;

L ADi ES AND GENTLEMEN :-1 submit he rewith the accQunts of the Ferry Commission for the year. just closed, and ask for them your careful attention. notw ithstanding the fact that your Board had te, face another large in crease in the price 01 coal the shortage amounted to only $ 568 67 While this is much less than was expected, still it is ver}' far from being satisfactory, the Ferry should be .laying by at least $3,000 a year for some years. as a sinking fund, new boilers will shortly be requi red , ne w station hOllses and docks will take a large amOilnt of money. and it does not seem fair that this Town ehou ld bond its debt for the whole of th ese improvements. If the price of coal i~ not materially reduced this year, or if the traffic dot's not largely increase it would seem to be only common business prudence to increase the rates to meet th e additional expenditure. In this ferry H alifax County has one that is second to none, this T own has run all the risk and taken all the responsibili ty. and if the rates must be increased, the 4C. ticket should be raised to 5c. so that the in.·rease may be borne largely by out!!, iders. In maki ng the above remarks, [ must not be considered as voicing any but my own opinions. I do riot know what the mem­bers of the Board may think of th em, but feel it is a matter which \\I ill have to be seriously considered by them in th e not very distant future.

The boats have been kept in good repair and ran 1130 miles further than in the previous year. Few people stop to consider the work that these boats do in twelve months. and it is remarkable that they are laid off for repairs so seldom. The following are the distances run by each boat it is worhty of note that the "Chebucto" traversed a dis· tance equal to that across the Atlantic. ten t imes during the year.

"Chebucto" ... : .... .. .......... .. .. . . . 24,235 miles "Dartmouth" .•... .. ... . ••••• ..... ... 16,465 miles "Halifax" ................ .. ........... '5,005 miles

Total ... ...... . . . ............... 55.705 miles Little Frogress has been made in the erection of station

houses, no satisfactory agreement having yet been reached with the City of Halifax regarding the dock on the other. s id e, has retarded progress to a certain t. xtent. Everyday, the need of double ducks on both sides of the harbor is more apparent, and it is hoped that when you are in a position to erect a modern station house in H al ifax , it can be placed between duplicate d ocks as is contemplated on this side.

I remain, Your obedient serva nt,

A. C. JOHNSTON, Cha;"man,
