METROPOLITAN WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD Yours truly,
BOSTON, October 5, 1910 (Signed) WILLIAM N DAVENPORT,
Water and Sewer Commissioners, Secretary
Lexington, Mass
Gentlemen,—Following the conference which you had with the
Board on Monday of this week, the matter of providing a sewer
in Mill or Sucker Brook valley was referred to the Chief Engi
neer of Sewerage Works, who has considered the matter and re-
ported to the Board
From this report it appears that about the time of the passage
of Chapter 520 of the Acts of 1897, authorizing the construction
of a metropolitan sewer through Arlington to the Lexington town
line to provide for drainage from the central and eastern villages
of the town, a study of the drainage of Lexington was prepared
by McClintock & Woodfall, who concentrated sewage from
developed areas of the villages at the end of the Metropolitan
sewer at the Arlington-Lexington line on Massachusetts Avenue
The chapter referred to provided that at some later date,
when the sewage needs of Arlington and Lexington should demand
it, a new metropolitan sewer should be built in the valley of Mill
or Sucker Brook

In our opinion the respective proportions of cost which the existing Act

after most painstaking calculations with reference to the areas on which at once two-thirds of it through the special assessment laid upon

above seen lays a portion upon the basis of valuation, land valued
