sewers but we should remember that money was not an plentiful and it cost ft and 6 per cent interest to borrow where a large portion of this plant of today is borrowed on debentures at 3 per cent there wai a forecast made back it thirty or more years ftfio that ac- ton would expand industrially if waterworks were installed the years hove proved the forecast to be correct and if acton expands as much in the next thirty yea- industrially with the installation of new era and a disposal system the present plant and expenditure are well justified its rather odd perhaps tha when such big plans as water and sewer are completed theres never any ceremony put up a new mon ument open a new building inaug urate a new road or raise a village to town status and there is gener ally quite a ceremony

below acton ls to be nothing but pure water from which all waste has been eliminated we can look back over these water and sewer developments and recall the days when it wasnt ever thus ven if the tax rate was only 20 mills many of ou folks will remember when only two wells were the source of water supply for all bou er avenue then there was the w ii at knox church which was used to supply a goodly number ol households and of course the pump on mam street just south of brock avenue filled the water pails of ev eryone who sought good spring wa ter in those days every house had necrssa outbuilding called b manv nami s from closets to privies and more frequently by some other nami s these buildings were the pirttcular object of displacement on halloween sometimes thevy wcr just pushed over and
