In 1893-4 Boston and several cities and towns in its vicinity had reached the point where it was unsafe to depend on their sources of supply. Governor Russell had proposed that these cities and towns form a district to develop some large supply for the benefit of all. The more the subject was investigated the more evident it became that the situation was imperative. As all water supply questions required action by the State Board of Health, the Legislature instructed that board to report upon the qu
