SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
MARCH 1, 1894.
The Selectmen hereby submit their annual report for the year ending Feb. 28, 1894.
We have appointed the following officers during the year, as required by the Statutes :
Special Police Officer. JOHN LAMARINE.

Registration of Voters for Three Years. LUTHER H. SHERMAN.
Forest Fire Wardens. RALPH BENT, LAWRENCE , H. McMANUS.

Clerk. - JAMES A. DRAPER.
Inspectors. - MICHAEL W. HYNES, THEO. S. SHERMAN, PETER ZIMMERMANN, WM. H. CAMPBELL.
Precinct 2.
Warden. - HENRY B. PHALEN.

By vote of the Town we have divided the Town into two voting-precincts, and at the State election held Nov. 7, 1893, the voting took place under conditions so favorable to the people that it has given very general satisfaction.
During the year we have settled the suit of Wayland v. Folsom by the payment to the Town of $768.00, which we considered a desirable settlement.
Also the suits of Heard v. Wayland and Egan v. Way- land. In the settlement of these cases the parties have con- veyed to the town two parcels of land between the old and new roads, which will save any future controversy as to the right of the town and abutters. At our request the Boston & Maine Railroad has erected gates at the principal crossings
13
in town, adding greatly to the safety of travel at these points.
The town of Framingham not making any provision to re- build Stone bridge, we were unable to carry into effect the vote of the town in reference to this bridge.
The reinsurance of the town hall, library, and school-house, Cochituate, dividing the town into voting-precincts, and the payment of attorney's fees in the settlement of the cases named, has caused a heavy draft on our Incidental Expense account during the year.
During the year there have been destroyed by fire buildings to the value of $5,920. At Wayland centre there is absolutely no protection against fire. We think something should be done by giving some means to meet this want.
In accordance with the vote of the town we have rebuilt the dry bridge on Sudbury causeway, and rebuilt the bridge on Mill street, using hard-pine lumber and making them more substantial. The Town having elected a Committee on Fin- ance, we make no recommendations for the various town de- partments, as those matters seem to come under the duties of that committee.
