Selectmen's Report.
Merrimac, Mass., Feb. 13, 1894.
We herewith respectfully present to the citizens of Merri- mac, the eighteenth annual report. At the last annual meet- ing the following special appropriations were made : $500 for repairing Sargent Hall, $250 for a Town safe, $450 for constructing Adams street extension and land damages, $100 for naming streets, $400 for moving the Landing school house to a location in the rear of Engine house on School street, and committees were chosen to carry the vote of the Town into effect. The several committees have attended to their duties and in each case have an unexpended balance to their credit. There was a committee chosen to construct a reservoir on or near Vendome street and $500 was appropriated for the same, after the reservoir was built it was filled according to contract, soon after, it became evident to the committee that there was a small leak somewhere, so the committee withheld such part of contract money as in their judgement would be sufficient to make it tight. We recommend that a suitable room be fur- nished in the basement of storehouse in rear of Engine house on School street and an oil tank of suitable size be bought and placed in it, and that all of the supplies for the Street Light department be kept there.
We would also recommend that an appropriation be made to re-build the bank-wall adjoining land of James Whittier on Broad street at Merrimacport.
We would recommend an increase in the appropriation for Street Light department.
We received a petition signed by Wm. H. Haskell and others, to lay out a town way from nearly opposite the resi-

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
dence of J. B. Judkins, to the land of the West Amesbury Branch Railroad, we notified the parties interested to meet at the office of the Selectmen for a hearing. After duly consid- ering the case we did not deem it advisable to lay out the town way as petitioned for.
We would call your attention to the Town Officers' room. It is poorly lighted, badly ventilated and not sufficient room for book-cases. It is really not a fit room for the Town Officers.
We would recommend that a committee be chosen to pro- cure a plan and estimates for an addition to be built in the rear of the present room for the use of the Town Officers.
