Frank B. Hayes. The total re ceipts were over $35,000 or about $3. 000 more than In 1916. The net earnings of the water de partment over and above all expendi tures for maintenance, operation, im provements and replacement amount to approximately $7000.

Hayes took charge of the water department four years aeo there has been a steady increase in the receipts. The largest receipts pri or to that time was $22,000.
