MILFORD, MASS. : MILFORD JOURNAL STEAM JJOB PRINT. 1883.


To The Voters of Milford.


In accordance with the requirements of the town and of custom, we beg leave to submit the following report of the receipts and ex- penditures of the town for the year ending February 10, 1883.


COLLECTION OF TAXES.


The mode of collecting the taxes and the time of doing so, as or -- dered by vote of the town, has greatly retarded their collection for- 1882; but notwithstanding this, the very efficient collector, Mr. Wood, makes a very good showing.


HIGHWAYS.


The highway department has furnished labor and material to the. amount of $1203.37, to private parties, which sum. has been paid to the treasurer, with the exception of $47.70 due from Mr. F. Swa- sey, which leaves the net cost of highways for the year at $7722.57.


Early last Spring, we expended nearly $900 to put the Upton road in first-class condition, which we thought it would be economy to do before removing the crusher to the park. We also replanked the bridge at Hopedale, at a cost of over $200. This left a very small amount with which to keep the roads in repair through the- year ; but with the help of a new scraper, which we purchased at a cost of $150.00, and the good management of the superintendent, we believe the roads have been greatly improved during the year, . notwithstanding the great damage done them in excavating by the Water Company and the earth-settling where pipes were laid last ..


4


year. We have also drawn over one thousand loads of stone to the park and the old School street burying-ground the past year. We think it would be economy for the town to appropriate at least - $9000 for highways for the coming year, as there should be a large . amount of stone crushed and put on the roads. This would put them in a condi ion where they could be kept in repair at a greatly reduced expense.


OLD BILLS.


"All the old bills owed the town for sidewalks, use of lockup, etc., that are collectible, have been collected. The bills against parties for entering the sewer remain uncollected, as we could see no law- ful way of collecting them.
