Mayor's Address
GENTLEMEN :
The voters of Bangor have selected us to look after their
corporate interests in the city. We have each of us taken an
oath or affirmed to do so, to the best of our ability as we see it.
This does not mean that we should be miserly in any respect
that would not be for their interests, but it does mean that we
should be economical and prudent at all times. We should
treat all questions that may come before us as if it were our
own private business.
The finances of the city is the one thing nearest the heart of
our citizens, for the reason that all the money the city has to
pay its bills with has to be taken from the pockets of the citizens under the form of taxation, which is becoming quite burdensome. I may find that the money the city raises has been
economically spent, but it does seem as though we ought to
get more benefit from it. I have had occasion to do a little investigation for my own benefit for last month, and I find the
appearance strongly indicates that the city has been largely in
charge of the heads of the different departments. The committees and heads of departments have their functions to perform, but this year I propose to have a supervising care over
each department. I shall not sign a warrant to pay any bill
6
MAYOR'S

[1913
of over $100 that does not bear my approval, and I shall certainly try to satisfy myself that the smaller ones are all right.
Twenty-one years ago, when I was first mayor, the valuation of the city was $11,762,461; the income was $252,893.
Then the city was in debt about 17 per cent, of its valuation.
When I was last mayor, the debt had been reduced to less
than 5 per cent, of the valuation and many permanent improvements were made.
Last year, 1911, the valuation was $23,496,928, and the income tax $518,680, or nearly 2\ times more than when I first
served; and yet out of these receipts, no permanent improvements seemed to have been made. It may be that the cost of
labor and material may account for the difference, but I hardly
think so.
About the first thing the strangers observe, when entering
a city, is its class of buildings and the condition of its streets
and sidewalks. The large number of new buildings which we
can now boast of, will help them to form a good impression,
but the streets and sidewalks through the principal avenues of
the city are not what they should be and it is up to us to see if
any improvements can be made this year. The larger part of
Exchange street, together with the sidewalk, is in a wretched
condition, and that is the main street over which strangers
come and go.
The school department, when our high school is well settled
in its new quarters, will have, without doubt, the largest and
best school buildings in the State; in fact, we shall have ten
first-class brick and stone, sanitary school buildings, filled
1913]

with, I trust I may be pardoned if I say, the brightest lot of
boys and girls to be found in any school buildings in the country. We have the high school building, the Palm street, the
new St. John's Parochial school, the Center street, the Pine
and the Elm street in the East Side. The Grammar school
building, the Longfellow school building, the Larkin street
and the St. Mary's Parochial school on the West Side, in
addition to several wooden ones, which some day will be replaced with good substantial brick ones. In fact, I think we
have a school department second to none.
We have a very proficient fire department, well equipped
and well handled and housed in good, substantial, brick houses.
Our Board of Assessors have lately been deprived of one of
its important members, a member who has always been found
in the office, a member who was familiar with all the details of
the office. You will be called upon to fill his place; you can
not expect to find a person who will be so familiar as was Mr.
Hubbard. We shall miss him much. In filling his place, I
would advise you to take into consideration the advisability
of re-organizing the department. As you know, we have had
in that office three men, one known as the chairman, another
as second man, who kept the books, the other as third man,
who is not expected to do much work except for a couple of
months in the Spring. The growth of the city, or in other
words in that department, is about three times what it was a
few years ago. It is now an opportune time to reorganize it.
I should advise you to elect three men to the office, who shall
all stand equal and who shall spend their entire time in the
8
MAYOR'S
ADDRESS
[1913
business of the office. There is no such distinction as chairman in the law. If in organizing they should see fit to elect
one of their board chairman, that would be up to them.
The other departments, I am going to assume, are all
right, but if I should find anything that you should be appraised of, I will inform you later.
The electric cars to Brewer has agitated the public mind for
the last several years, and it is unfortunate when every one
would be glad to see the cars go across the bridge, that some
way could not have been found to accomplish the object.
A bridge across Kenduskeag stream, at the foot of Exchange
street, is very much needed. State street across the bridge is
badly congested the most of the day, as is also West Market
square, caused by the heavy trucking which has to be all transported by the way of State street. When this bridge is built
some way should be found to construct a small dam across the
stream, some two or three feet high, for the purpose of holding
water enough to form a basin sufficient to cover the sewerage
at low water during warm weather, but not high enough to
interfere with shipping or rafting of logs.
There is the old Customs House; something should be done
with that. The material should be utilized for the best advantage of the city.
Central street, as soon as it is advisable to do so, should be
widened through to Hammond street.
The hose house should be built on Harlow street, near the
foot of Cumberland street, for the better protection of property
in that vicinity. Morse's mill is at present very poorly pro-
1913]

tected, and there is an industry worth a great deal to the city
of Bangor. There are also our new school and library buildings, worth at least one-half a million dollars to the city of
Bangor.
It would be wise to build up the wall of the old Norumbega
site soon, then we could probably get it filled without expense.
There should at no distant day be built some sort of a retaining wall on the west bank of Kenduskeag stream in front of the
city stables. It presents now a very unsightly appearance
from Harlow street and vicinity and is continually washing
the dirt into the stream.
There is a great demand for some place where people driving into the city with their teams and who wish to remain one
hour or more, could hitch their horses. I shall advise you further on the subject.
In conclusion, I wish to say to you, gentlemen, who will be
placed upon the several committees that I shall expect the
heads of all departments before there shall be any expense of
any consequence contracted for in their department, that they
shall obtain my consent to have them made or refer them to
the city council.
One week from today you will meet in this hall to elect the
subordinate officers. It is important this year that you select
men for their qualifications and not for their good fellowship.

BEAL,
Mayor.

There has been 5,223 feet of new sewer built during the year,
of which 1,550 feet was built as an auxiliary to present sewers.
There are now about 44 miles of sewers in the city.
Among the sewers petitioned for during the year are those
for sewers in Union street, northerly of Sixteenth street, and
in Fifteenth street. These sewers shoud be built during the
coming year. I also recommend the Meadow Brook sewer be
extended, and that the Blake Place sewer be completed to
Harlow street.
I believe the method of cleaning cesspools by contract
as has been done for the past two years is unsatisfactory and
is no saving to the City, and recommend the cesspools be cleaned
by the department.

Report of Purchasing Committee
To the Board of Managers
of the Bangor Public
Library:
The Purchasing Committee submits its annual report of
the purchase and repair of books and magazines during the
year 1912.
Nineteen hundred and twenty-eight volumes were bought
during the year, for which the Library paid $2,491.04. The
necessary repair of worn bindings cost $671.07 and the usual
list of Magazines $274.47.
Total expenditure for purchase and repair of books and
magazines was $3,436.58. Of this amount $223.10, expended
chiefly for valuable books of reference, was taken from the
income of the Patten Fund, a fund which enables the Library,
every year, to acquire possession of useful books, the purchase
of which might otherwise be delayed.
For the purpose of proper cataloguing, the books for the
year were classified as follows:
General Works
Philosophy
Religion
Sociology
Philology
Natural Science
Useful Arts
Fine Arts
Fiction (including Juvenile books)
Poetry and Drama

About eighteen per cent of the money was expended for works
of fiction which are largely in demand in all Public Libraries.
More than eighty per cent uf the outlay for books was for the
purchase of works which will be of more permanent educational
value.
Lists of books for purchase have been prepared as usual
by Mrs. Mary H. Curran, the Librarian, whose careful judgment
in regard to the requirements of the Library is well known
and appreciated.

The Library has received from the Government of the
United States, Maine State Library, and numerous friends,
112
[1913
4,740 bound volumes, and 5,024 periodicals and pamphlets.
Among some of the most important books presented are the
sets of Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office,
vols. 1-169, 1872-1911; Congressional Globe, 1844-1873;
Congressional Record, 1873-1911; Medical and surgical history
of the Rebellion, 6v., all from the Superintendent of Documents at Washington, D. C\
From interested friends we have received many valuable
books, a few of the names can be given in this place, Narrative
and critical history of America, (first edition, now out of print)
by Justin Winsor, 8 vols. Memorial history of Boston, by
Justin Winsor, 4 vols., also out of print. These with other
valuable books were given by Mrs. Henry W. Dodd.
Genealogies and family history of the State of Maine, 4 vols.,
presented by Dr. Loomis Pomroy Haskell, of Chicago, formerly
of Bangor. Dr. Clement Howard Hallowell, of Norwood,
Mass., presented many useful books and also the library of
his sister Miss Susan M. Hallowell, once a teacher in the Bangor
High School and later of Wellesley College, and still well
remembered by many of her former pupils in Bangor. The
Massachusetts New Church Union of Boston presented a
recently published edition of the works of Emanuel Swedenborg.
A highly appreciated gift was a volume of the Bangor Daily
Mercury, vol. 1, 1844-1845, the only volume to replace our
large collection of Bangor newspapers destroyed in the conflagration.
We hope more of our friends will find that they
have volumes of old Bangor newspapers which they will present
to the Library when in its new quarters. It would take too
much room to specify all the very useful and valuable books
presented during the year. A glance at the list of Gifts to
the Library, following this report will show the names of the
givers and the number of books and periodicals presented.

RECORD
OF B O O K S
ISSUED
T h e date of issue and return of each volume taken with
a Library Card, shall be stamped thereon, and a corresponding slip, containing the shelf number of the volume and day
and month of its issue and the name and address of its borrower
shall be preserved.
The slips for each day shall be placed in the numerical
order of the shelf numbers in a dated compartment of the
136
R E P O R T OF T H E PUBLIC
LIBRARY
[1913
drawer used for their preservation. When a book is returned the corresponding slip shall be taken from the drawer
and cancelled.
When all the spaces on a Library Card are stamped, a
new card shall be issued, on the surrender of the old one,
provided the time for which the card was issued has not
expired and the new card shall have the same number as
the old one, and the date of the new issue shall be entered
in the Record of Library Cards opposite the number of the
original card.
When a card is lost, the Librarian may issue a new one
seven days after notice of the loss has been given at the
Library, but the loss of a card will not remove the owner's
responsibility for its subsequent use. If a lost card is recovered after a new one has been issued in its stead, the
duplicate must be immediately returned to the Library.
A record shall be kept of the number of books issued daily
from each class for the Reading Room and a similar record
of those issued for home use.
A R T I C L E V.
CLASSIFICATION
AND
NUMBERING
The books belonging to the Library shall be arranged and
numbered in accordance with the system of classification
devised by Melvil Dewey and published by the Library Bureau,
the general classes being as follows:
0. General Works.
1. Philosophy.
2. Religion.
3. Sociology.
4. Philology.
5. Natural Science.
1913]
CITY OF
BANGOR
137
6. Useful Arts.
7. Fine Arts.
8.
Literature.
9.
History.
In numbering the books, the numbers of class, division,
section and sub-section shall be used, the intention being
t o m a k e the classification as complete as it can be made without deviating from the authorized system.
In assigning the numbers, the directions given by the author
of the s y s t e m shall be closely followed.
A s y m b o l according to the Cutter system, indicating the
n a m e of the author of the book, or the author of the first
essay of a collected series, shall follow the sub-section
number, except in the following instances. In numbering
biographies and town histories, the symbol of the name of the
person or town shall be used instead of the symbol of
the author's name. In numbering the works of an author,
whose n a m e is unknown, the letter X shall be used as a
substitute for the s y m b o l until the author's name is disclosed. W h e n a sub-section is devoted entirely to one
author, the symbol shall be omitted and the books shall be
arranged in chronological order, and consecutive numbers,
following the sub-section number, shall be assigned to the
works. W h e n several books b y the same author, or
biographies of the same person, or histories of the same
town, are grouped together, t h e y shall be arranged chronologically, and consecutive numbers, following the symbol,
shall be assigned to them. In numbering periodicals, the
Cutter s y m b o l s shall be used for the names of the periodicals.
Works of so general a character, as to make it desirable
to have t h e m at the beginning of a section, m a y be numbered
w i t h o u t the author's symbols.
Duplicates shall have t h e s a m e shelf number.
138
REPORT OF T H E P U B L I C
LIBRARY
[1913
Successive volumes of the same work shall have the
same shelf number, the number of each volume serving as
a distinguishing mark.
The shelf number and the accession number
of each
volume shall be written on a suitable slip and pasted inside
the cover. The shelf number shall also be indicated on the
back of each book.
At least one copy of every book, of which the Library
has more than one copy, shall be appropriated to the Reading Room use and marked with the letter A over the shelf
number, and shall remain in the Library Room as a shelf
copy for the use of readers. All other books, which, in the
judgment of the Library Committee shall be appropriated
to Reading Room use, shall be marked with the letter A and
no book so marked shall be issued for home use without the
consent of the Library Committee. Books marked with
the letter R shall not be issued for home or Reading Room
use without the consent of the Library Committee.
A R T I C L E VI.
CATALOGUES
The records of books added to the Library, and removed
from it, shall be preserved in suitable catalogues, as hereinafter provided.
All books added to the Library shall be numbered in
the order in which they are received, and shall be so recorded in the Accession Record. In addition to the accession number, the shelf number of each volume shall
also be entered therein. Opposite the numbers, the title of
the book shall be recorded, and the name of the author,
if known, together with notes of the size of the volume
and the number of pages, the names of publishers, and place
1913]
CITY OF

139
and date of publication. The books being so entered in the
Accession Record, the last entry, at any time, will show the
number of volumes added to the Library since its commencement.
W h e n any book is re-bound, worn out, lost, exchanged,
or sold, it shall be noted, with the date, in the Accession
Record opposite the number of the book.
E v e r y pamphlet shall be recorded in the Record of
Pamphlets, the title and date of reception, and other items
of interest being noted. The number, opposite which the
pamphlet is recorded, shall also be noted on the cover of
the pamphlet as a guide to the entry in the record. When
a pamphlet is bound, the date of sending to the bindery and
the accession number of the bound volume shall be noted
opposite the original entry. When a pamphlet is removed
from the Library the date and cause of removal shall be noted
opposite the original entry.
There shall be a card catalogue for the use of the attendants in which authors, titles and subjects shall be included. There shall also be a card catalogue,
supplementary to the printed catalogue, in which shall be included authors and titles, which shall be open to the public.
E v e r y book title shall appear in its proper place in the
card catalogue of titles, and shall be preceded by the shelf
number and followed by the author's name, with pseudonym,
if any, (in parenthesis), or the abbreviation anon, in parenthesis,
if the author's name is unknown and there is no pseudonym.
In arranging titles in the catalogues, articles or other unimportant words commencing the title, shall be omitted or
transposed, each entry being made in such form as m a y
seem likely to be most easily found by readers.
Each author's name and each pseudonym shall appear
in the card catalogue of authors, each pseudonym being
140
LIBRARY
[1913
followed by the abbreviation pseud, in parenthesis, and
reference to the author's name. Each author's name shall
be followed by the titles of the author's works in alphabetical
order, the shelf number preceding each title.
An outline of the contents of any work, or a few words to
indicate its character, may be given in subject, author, or
title lists when expedient.
There shall be a shelf catalogue in which the books belonging to the Library shall be entered on cards and arranged in order of the shelf numbers, with author's name, title
of each work, number of volumes, and accession numbers.
All books sent out for binding shall be recorded by accession number, shelf number and title in the Record of
Binding, and the date of sending and date of return shall
be noted.
All books permanently removed from the Library shall
be entered in the Removal Record in the order of their removal, with statement of the accession number and title of
each volume, and date and cause of removal. The list of
books, so entered, shall be numbered in order, so that the
last entry made in the Removal Record shall show the number of volumes permanently removed from the Library.
A R T I C L E VII.
SHELVING
When the numbers have been placed upon* the bookplates and the backs of the books, the books shall be
shelved in the cases assigned to the classes in the order of
their'numbers, leaving sufficient spaces for additions.
When, for sufficient reason, a book is not shelved in the
place indicated by the shelf number, a numbered dummy
1913]
CITY O F

141
shall be put in the place of the book with a reference showing where the book m a y be found.
N e w books shall be examined for faults of printing or
binding before they are numbered. All books returned by
readers shall be examined before they are shelved. If pencil marks are found, they shall be erased, and if bindings
are loosened, they shall be repaired, and any damage, beyond reasonable wear, shall be charged to the last holder
of the book.

The overdraw of $4,117.69 has all been expended at the
Station on State Street; as the following figures will show. W e
allowed $2,250 for the work at the station. It has cost $4,446.33
on repairs and $2,781.30 for coal and wood that we used in
steaming while the repairs were going on, and on the high tides.
This makes $7,227.63. Taking from this the amount allowed
for repairs, namely $2,250 leaves $4,977.63 which is more than
the amount of the overdraw.
Estimating the cost of this work at the station was simply
guessing, as it was impossible to stop the wheels and take
down the clutches and shafting to see how badly worn they
were. After we got started it didn't take long to find that it
would have to be all taken down and practically rebuilt.
The hubs of the clutches and the inner friction disks were
all worn out and had to be cast new and the shafts end turned
down and new keyed. A process which is very slow and which
had to be done at the machine shop.
The main shaft had been allowed to get so far out of line that
it was sprung quite badly and this had to go to the shop. The
main shaft and quill bearings are of babbitt and they were
completely gone having let the shaft down onto the iron beneath
and badly cutting the same. These bearings had to be turned
and new bearings run in the boxes. The babbitt alone for
these cost over two hundred dollars. It really seemed as though
everything we touched was all ready to fall to pieces.
W h e n one stops to consider the fact that we had to have
this plant running every night and most of the day time, it is
not to be wondered at, that what we have done has cost a lot
of money. T h e cost of coal together with the extra work that
was made necessary to keep going was a large item.
I have a four ton travelling hoist installed over the wheels
and running out over the door also, that cost over five hundred
dollars. This will do the work of moving the machinery, which
146
REPORT OF T H E CITY
ELECTRICIAN
[1913
formerly took five men a half day using several cord of timber,
in five or ten minutes, using only two men, to handle the
heaviest pieces.
There has been very little trouble at the Station. On Dec.
8th the governor arm broke on the engine and caused a little
delay of but a few minutes. This was followed later in the
night however by anchor ice shutting down both the water
works and the electric plant.
On Dec. 9th a piece of board lodged in the gates and we could
not shut off the street lights until the water was lowered in the
flume and the obstruction removed. This was not accomplished until nine o'clock.
On Jan. 20, 1913, a fuse let go on the street lighting circuit
and set fire to the back of the board and also the wall of the
building. Thanks to members of the Water Dept. and our
man in charge this fire was stopped in time to save the switch
board. It didn't last over two minutes but did a damage of
seventy-five dollars. The plant was running in fifty minutes.
This work is now all fire proof and placed on a gallery above
the switch board.
In order to have steam enough to run the engine under full
load I found it necessary to connect the water works boiler
with ours. This cost a little over two hundred dollars.
SUB-STATION, YORK
STREET
The work at the sub-station is not completed as yet but all
material is purchased and paid for. I am changing all the
rubber covered wire in the tub room to fire proof, and am going
to run the wires through the building and out the York St.
side to the pole lines. At present these wires run over the building onto a rack work on the other side, which is rotten and unsafe to hold electric wires. The wires running over the flat

roof are not the required distance, and also prevent any extension of the building, if the same were decided upon.
I h a v e installed a switch board for the new underground cable
on the ground floor, where it will be in sight of the station m a n
at all t i m e s of the d a y and night, and a n y trouble on these
circuits can be remedied at once
T h e old cable came into the cellar and has all the fuses there.
If a m a n w a n t s to m a k e a test either underground or up into
the station, it is necessary to h a v e one m a n upstairs and one
d o w n cellar. T h e new m e t h o d does a w a y with this.
There has been t w o Graphic recording watt-meters installed
here that indicate at all times just the a m o u n t of power in
kilo-watts the city is consuming in street lighting and in the
buildings. A t present we are using three hundred kilo-watt
hours, in street lighting. T w e n t y to sixty 'kilo-watt hours in
incandescents. T e n kilo-watt hours in motors. F i f t y kilowatt in motors at the Filter plant t h a t run about twelve times
a d a y for fifteen minutes. P u t t i n g this into figures to determine
the cost of lighting would be as follows:—
Our street lights consume 300 kilowatts per hour,
times 4,000 hours per year
1,200,000 K. W.
Lights on stand pipe, 5 K. W. x 4,000 hours

A s s u m i n g t h a t we were to sell this at two cents a kilo-watt,

T h e average appropriation is $22,000 dollars or $5,841.20

In addition to w h a t the above figures reveal in power output,
this department maintains all electrical apparatus belonging
to the City both inside and outside. Police system and fire
alarm and tapper circuits, also inspection of wires.
This is all taken care of in the appropriation, w h a t ever it
m a y be each year. I am writing this to show t h a t the electrical
department is a paying proposition, and not an expense to the
city.
Could we only have permit to sell, say three hundred horse
power in a day load it could be made to yield an income back

INSPECTION
DEPARTMENT
This department shows a slight decrease in inspections,
which is due to the fact that a large number of the buildings
burned have been completed.
Number permits, 506. Total number lights inspected, 5542.
Number of motors, 40, H. P. 141. Number defects, 194.
N e w installations 308. Flat irons installed, 8. Tailor's irons.
There are 2200 lights in the City buildings and three hundred
on the Stand Pipe, making twenty-five hundred lights in all.
To this will be added sixteen hundred lamps when the new
High school and library are completed.
In motors we have one 5 H. P. at the City Farm, one 5 H. P.
at the Central Fire Station, one 2 H. P. in machine shop at
Sub-Station. Two \ H. P. and one H. P. motor running
the apparatus to charge storage batteries and tapper lines.
There will be one hundred twenty-three horse power in motors
in the new buildings.
On the tide we will not be able to carry this extra load even
with the engine on in connection with the water wheels, and I
sincerely hope that there will be something done to relieve
this condition before the time arrives to furnish power to these
new buildings. We have but six months to get ready for this
and it will take from nine months to a year. It looks as though
we would have to purchase a little from the B. R. & E. Co.

Report of Water Board
To the City Council of Bangor:
T h e Water Board herewith submits its thirty-eighth annual
report together with the reports of its superintendent, chief
engineer and clerk and collector.
While the department has had no unusually important
work or improvements to occupy its attention it lias nevertheless devoted itself to increasing the general efficiency of
the plant. The completion of two additional units at the filter
house adds t w o million to the daily filtering capacity. This
would seem to be ample for any emergency at the present
rate of consumption.
The results which have been obtained since this new plant
has been in operation have surely justified the board in recommending the changes and the city in authorizing the construction
of the plant. The reports of our own chemist and of the state
chemist have uniformly recommended the water as safe and
sanitary for all purposes.
The present plant will from time to time naturally need
improvements and enlargements. An additional sedimentation basin would be a decided safeguard against accidents,
allow much more time for sedimentation before filtration and
considerably increase the plant's general efficiency.
Additional storage by the erection of another stand pipe
on T h o m a s Hill should be considered before many years.
This would make possible a more uniform rate of pumpage
1(34
REPORT OF THE WATER BOARD
[1913
and provide a much more adequate supply in case of temporary
breakdown at the works.
The extensions of mains for the year to the amount of 6,292
feet has brought the total mileage of street mains to about
53f miles. Plans have been made for a 12-inch force main to
be laid the coming season on French street from Cumberland
northerly to Broadway. This part of the city has grown so
rapidly that this main is deemed necessary for fire protection
and adequate domestic service.
The total number of fire hydrants is 309, an increase of nine
during the year.
A new boiler to heat the plant at the pumping station and
to supply power for the filter centrifugal pump is recommended
by the superintendent and engineer.
The amount of water pumped for the year totals 1,390,712,800
gallons, a daily average of 3,810,172 gallons, a decrease of
88,295,805 gallons in total and of 241,906 daily average, due
doubtless to the mild winter and wet summer.
On the other hand 84 new water services were installed with
revenue amounting to $3,899.50. The total revenue and credits
to this department for the year is $98,895, an increase of
$3,315.06. Another year will doubtless see the department's
receipts and credits reach the hundred thousand mark.
The collector reports that for the 16th consecutive year all
water rates have been collected, and is justly proud of a record
that shows such painstaking and efficient attention to his duties.
The collector reports a most thorough and systematic year's
work on the part of the inspector with a total of 7,166 houses
and places of business visited, unreported fixtures being found
to the amount of $285.50.
After many years of the most satisfactory service J. F. Webber tendered his resignation as chief engineer last spring, owing
to ill health, which, during the year resulted in his death.

The vacancy was filled by the election of J. W. Dougherty,
assistant engineer at the works for 14 years, who since taking
charge of the pumping station has shown a capacity for keeping
the plant up to its highest efficiency.

decreasing in the number of renewals which shows that our

the distribution system. T h e total number of services connected with the s y s t e m at present is 5,068.

DAM AND

T h e flume leading to the five 60 inch McCormick water
wheels has been strengthened by more iron rods; this wooden
structure with these repairs, that are necessarily of a temporary
nature, will last for a few years but eventually it will be necessary
t o construct the entire structure of concrete. T h e top of the
jam pier, which is located at the head of the fore bay, has been
replanked and is now in very good condition. Aside from
these minor repairs that are mentioned no work has been
needed on the dam or piers.
FILTER
PLANT
The filter plant still continues to perform creditable service;
since the battery has been increased from six to eight filters

the rate of filtration per filter may be decreased and have the
combined forces of the filters supply the city. The changes
that were proposed in the report of 1911-12 for the by-passing
of the sedimentation basin and pumping directly to the filters,
which would be in case of accident to the sedimentation basin
only; and the renewing of the alum solution tanks, have been
accomplished and are giving entire satisfaction.
BOILER, P U M P I N G STATION
The horizontal tubular boiler at the pumping station that is
used to heat the entire plant and also to run the filter plant
centrifugal pump in case the water power is discontinued was
rated at its installation to run under one hundred pounds of
steam; to run the filter plant satisfactorily about eighty are
necessary. A few months ago an examination was performed
by Insurance Underwriters and their report pronounced the
boiler unsafe to run over a maximum of sixty pounds; this
setting is net high enough to get our required results; and since
nothing higher can be obtained with safety, also that the
boiler is very old, I recommend that a new one be installed
the coming season in its place.
In closing I wish to thank His Honor, the Mayor, the Water
Board, and all those connected with department in any way
for their many courtesies shown during the year.

H e was unable to gain a d m i t t a n c e at 249 dwellings.
As usual from this inspection, we have found m a n y fixtures
which have not been reported by the plumbers, this year the
amount is $285.50.
One of the benefits to the customers from this annual inspection is the number of fixtures which have been removed
for various causes but were not reported to this office.
Another noticeable feature of the inspection is the improved
condition of the water fixtures, only 37 defective ones were
found. T h e regular notice pertaining t o same was sent to the
respective owners, and said fixtures were at once repaired.
W e again urge the sending of bills to all water customers,
as is done b y m o s t public utility companies.
T h e enforcement of the Ordinance wherein the Water Board
ordered the collecting department to collect all water rates
from the owners of property has proven a direct benefit to the
water takers, as is s h o w n by the small a m o u n t of fines collected
during the past year.

REPORT OF THE WATER

BOARD
Report of the Chief Engineer
Bangor, Maine, March 1, 1913.
To the Bangor Water Board:
G E N T L E M E N : — I beg to submit the following report:
T h e amount of water which has been p u m p e d during the
past year has been as follows:
1912

This is a daily average of 3,810,172 gallans.
T h e steam p u m p was run M a y 25th, and June 27th and 28th,
while the Electric D e p a r t m e n t were repairing their water
wheels. It was again necessary to make use of the steam p u m p
from Sept. 3rd to 6th, inclusive, due to repairs being made in
the flume which supplies the water to the wheels that run the
D e a n e power pump. Only once was this p u m p in commission
from anchor ice, this being on Dec. 9th.

CITY O F

It was necessary in July to renew the cogs in the mortised
gear that transmits the power to the cetrifugal pump which
supplies the filters. The cogs in the mortised gear on water
wheel shaft number one were renewed in February of this year.
In October the D e a n e power pump was thoroughly overhauled, the valves were all taken out, examined, and replaced
with new ones where it was deemed necessary. Other repairs
have been only such as are chargeable to ordinary wear and
tear of machinery in constant use.
The Gaskill pump is worn so it leaks by the plungers quite
badly. I would recommend having the plungers turned and
new bushings put in the cylinders. I would also recommend
a new boiler to replace the tubular boiler which has been in
use over t w e n t y years. This boiler is used to heat the buildings
and to furnish steam to pump to filters when necessary. When
last inspected this was reduced to sixty pounds pressure which
is scarcely sufficient to furnish power to run the centrifugal
p u m p at the filter plant.
In closing I wish to thank his Honor, the Mayor, the Water
Board, and the Superintendent for their courteous treatment
during the past year.

187 REPORT OF THE WATER BOARD
REPORT OF
The Chemist and Bacteriologist
TROY,
The Honorable,
The Bangor
N. Y., March 14th, 1913.
H'ofr/' Board,
Bangor,
Me.:
GENTLEMEN:—Permit me to submit a review of the operation
of the Filter Plant for the year ending February 28th, 1913.
The new filter plant was placed in operation Feb. 6th, 1911,
and consisted of six filter units having a total sand area of
2,602.8 sq. ft. During the year 1912 two additional filters were
equipped increasing the capacity of the plant 33%, making the
total sand area 3,407.4 sq. ft.
The sand in the original six filters has an effective size of
.59 mm. and a uniformity coefficient of 1.25 while the sand
in the two filters recently equipped has an effective size of .55
mm. and a uniformity coefficient of 1.74.
Under normal conditions this plant has a capacity of 8,000,000
gallons per day which is sufficient for several years to come.
The plant has been in continuous operation since Feb. 6th,
1911, and has given no trouble from mechanical causes.
The water supply has been obtained from the same source,
the Penobscot River.
This river has a drainage area of
about 7,700 sq. mi. above the water works intake, and is somewhat polluted.
The pollution consists of sewage from several localities,
waste from the pulp mills, and drainage from numerous farms.
The general operating results of the plant will be found, by
months, in the following table.

These results arc of more than passing interest as they show
the peculiar character of the water which has to be treated.
During the year 1,443,578.000 gallons of water were treated
being 64,194,000 gallons less than in the previous year or a
decrease of 4 . 3 r ( .
The City consumed 1,387,720,900, gallons a decrease of
104,832,700 gallons or 7 . 1 r ( .
The filters required 65,721,451 gallons for washing, equal
to 4.55% of the water filtered.
As the color of the unfiltered water was 17.8% higher than
in the previous year the filters required washing more frequently.
In all 3,142 filters were washed, an average of 8.6 per day
an increase of 4.07%.
The bacterial efficiency of the plant for the past four years
is shown in the following table, these results cover a period
of two years with the old filters and two years of the new filters.
T h e increase in efficiency has been very marked.

This is the only period that calcium hypochlorite has been
used in the operation of this plant.
The unfiltered water always contains a high color, very
little turbidity, and a low alkalinity. The bacterial content
varies considerably, and the "intestinal bacillus" B. Colicommunis is always present.

The results indicate that B. Coli-communis in the unfiltered
water was 2.39% less than in the previous year.
A mineral analysis of the unfiltered water is made once a
month, the results show an increase in the sulphate content
of the water.
A complete sanitary examination of the unfiltered water is
made every week, the results averaged by months, will be
found in the following table.
There is a coagulation basin having two compartments, the
combined capacity being 1,500,000 gallons. The coagulants
are added to the water before it enters the basins.
Sulphate of alumina is used as a coagulant and because
of the low alkalinity of the unfiltered water it is necessary to
add an alkali, lime water being used.
The sulphate of alumina is purchased on specifications, the
requirements being as follows:
A l u m i n a (AI2O3) n o t less t h a n
Acid (SO3) n o t m o r e t h a n
Iron (Fe203) not more than

It is understood that if the Alumina (A1 2 0 3 ) is over 17.50%
the Sulphates (SO3) and Iron (Fe 2 0 3 ) may be increased in
proportion.
If the results of the analyses show the Alumina (APO 3 ) to
be below 17.5% and over 17.0% a deduction of eight cents
per hundred pounds shall be made. If the Alumina (A1 2 0 3 ) is
below 17.0% and above 16.5% a deduction of fifteen cents
per hundred pounds shall be made.
For each .25% or fraction thereof of Iron (Fe 2 0 3 ) above
.40% a reduction of five cents per hundred pounds shall be
made.

was 36.0% less than in the previous year.
The results show that the coagulation basins are a very
important part of the system.
The new filter plant has continued to be a success. The
results obtained are even better than during the previous year.
Weekly sanitary analysis of the filtered water are made,
and once a month a mineral analysis is made. The results
of the mineral analysis and also the results of the monthly

average of the sanitary analysis will be found in the following
tables.
The results of the sanitary analysis of the filtered water
show t h a t during the year the free ammonia has been 2.3%
less; albuminoid ammonia 2.7% less; required oxygen 17.4%
less; color 1.4% less than in the previous year. The chlorine
content has remained the same, as in the previous year.
A detail comparative study of the quality of the filtered
water is very interesting and shows that its quality has been
satisfactory during the year and that the water is well suited
for domestic use, including drinking purposes.

The turbidity of the filtered water, when operating the old
filter plant was due to alumina hydrate. During the past year
there has been no turbidity in the filtered water and the logwood and boiling tests show the water to be free from alumina.
The color of the unfiltered water was 17.8% higher than
during the previous year, but the color of the filtered water
was 1.4% less than in the previous year.

B. Coli-communis was present in the filtered water in less
than 1% of the samples examined, the reduction from the
previous year being 57.42%. These results show the excellent
quality of the filtered water.
Samples of water are collected from a city tap for examination
every day. Once a week a complete sanitary examination
is made, and once a month a mineral analysis is made.
The results of these examinations also show an improvement
in the quality of the water.
The following tables give the results of the mineral analysis
and the monthly average of t h e sanitary examinations.

CITY OF BANGOR
203
B. Coli-communis was present in the tap water in only .09%
of the samples examined. This is 80.86% less than in the
previous year, which was a low record.
B. Coli-communis was reduced 8 9 . 8 9 % in passing through
the mains from the filter plant to the city tap.
The operation of the plant is in charge of Mr. A. C. Powell,
resident chemist and bacteriologist.
The results, in detail, of the weekly sanitary examinations
of the unfiltered, filtered and t a p waters are annexed to this
report.
During the past year the mains leading from the low lift
pump to the coagulation basins were changed so that it is now
possible to p u m p direct upon the filters in case of accident
to the basins.
Xew sulphate of alumina tanks were installed to take the
place of the old concrete ones which were badly weakened by
the action of the chemical.
The two filters which were not equipped when the plant was
constructed were equipped so that the plant is complete in
every respect.
An a t t e m p t should be made to sell the old filters, as they
are not now connected with the mains and are of no use to the
department. If these are removed there will be a valuable
room available for use at a later time.
The plant is in first class condition in every respect and I
have no recommendations to make.
The hearty support given me by the members of the Water
Board has been greatly appreciated.
I also wish to express my appreciation for the courtesies
extended by all employees of the department.
