REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

LOWELL, MASS., June 19, 1884.

To the President and members of the New England Water Works Association:

GENTLEMEN: -The second Annual Report of the Executive Committee is herewith laid before you. Accompanying and constituting a part of this report will be found the financial statement of the Secretary, and the Report of the Treasurer.

From the statement of the Secretary it will be seen that during the past year there have been received from initiation fees, $85.00; from dues, $66.00; total, $151.00, all of which has been paid over to the Treasurer.

The Report of the Treasurer shows that the total expenses since the last report amount to $171.90, an amount $20.90 in excess of the receipts of the year. The balance on hand at the present time is $141.38.

At the present time our membership is 48 Active, 9 Fine, total, 57; an increase of 14 during the year. From present indications this number will be considerably increased during the present convention.

There have been two meetings of the Association during the past year, one at Worcester, the other at Pawtucket. As full reports of these gatherings have already been published, further comment at this time is unnecessary.

Although this society is stili in its infancy, it has been the means of disseminating a large amount of practical information among its members. With an increased membership this work will be proportionally extended. No efforts should be spared to constantly offer inducements to those outside our ranks to become members. This can best be accomplished by keeping our discussion up to a very high standard.

In conclusion we extend thanks to all those who have extended courtesies, and from all members we bespeak for the future the same active interest in the affairs of the Association, as has been evinced in the past.

Respectfully submitted,

FRANK E. HALL,

HORACE G. HOLDEN,
