ing yearly report of their doings, together with their recom- mendations.


TOWNWAYS.


Although the highway department has tried to keep the townways in a passable condition, yet it has been impossible to do much more, owing to the constant digging of the vari- ous streets the past two years for the purpose of laying the sewer pipes, and the careless way in which the trenches have been filled in on some streets by the contractors has been a constant source of anxiety and danger, which the department has done its best to remedy, yet all the streets on the line of the sewer will have to be opened up again to make the neces- sary connections, and the patience of our citizens will be taxed to the limit before we can have our streets in fair condition again.


STATE HIGHWAY.


We have every reason to assume from what the state commission has said to us that the long delayed allotment to this town for the state highway from Medway street to the Holliston line will soon be made, so the road can be built this year, which, connecting with that built in Holliston the past two years, will give a long line of continuous state road.


SIDEWALKS.


We would recommend the usual appropriation for our sidewalks, the first attention being given to keeping those we have in thorough repair, and the balance of the money to be expended on new work as needed.


SURFACE DRAINAGE.


The appropriation made for this purpose the past year was expended on North Bow and Central streets, and has helped the conditions in this locality very much, but in order to complete the system as planned and take the drainage from Claflin and South Bow streets, and also enlarge the Central street sewer to the Hoboken bridge it will require an addi- tional appropriation of $2500, which we think would be wisely expended.


31


MEMORIAL HALL INSURANCE.


The insurance policies on Memorial Hall expire this spring, and we would recommend the sum of $300 in order to have them renewed for three years more. We think it good policy to keep this building insured.
