FIRE PROOF VAULT.
By vote of the Town your Selectmen were requested to build a fire proof vault at the Library building for the safety of the town records, as required by law, the cost not to ex- ceed $1,000.
Your Committee have attended to the duties assigned them as far as practicable at present, and report that the vault is
9
completed with the exception of putting in the necessary wood work, it not being advisable to do that part until the dampness had dried out, and, in our opinion, that can be done at an early date. The amount expended thus far is :

As there was no appropriation made for this expense we recommend that the town take some action in regard to it.
NEW ROADS AND LAND DAMAGE.
The road leading from Elm street, voted to be built by the town, was placed in charge of Josiah D. Randall to build, which has been done at a cost of $286.46 for land damage and construction. No appropriation.
At the last annual meeting the Town voted the sum of five hundred dollars to be expended, under the direction of the
IO
Selectmen, on the road from Marshfield line to the Hummock, which sum was not appropriated.
From the terminus of the road laid out by the County Com- missioners, at the Beach, to the Hummock, the Town having refused to accept under the original running, we had no authority to build or make repairs; and, after ascertaining by survey the location of the laid-out road as above, and conferring with the lot owners in that vicinity, we deemed it inexpedient to make extensive repairs at present; but we con- sider it only a question of time, or method, in regard to an extension of this road.
Upon petition the Selectmen have laid out a town-way on the northerly end of Cut Island, adjoining Marshfield, in re- gard to the acceptance of which there is an article in the warrant for the coming annual town meeting.
