REPORT
OF THE
Engineers of the Fire Department.
To the Board of Selectmen.
The fire apparatus of the Town is in a much better condi- tion than it was last year. The leather hose for each machine has been thoroughly oiled, and is in fine condition. The Steamer has been put in fine working order, and we think never worked so well as she does at present. We have pro- cured new ladders for the Department at Ballard Vale, and also provided a place to protect them from the weather. We have also procured during the year a pair of double harnesses for the use of the Steamer. We have 1100 feet of hose be- longing to the Steamer that is in good condition ; 200 feet that is not reliable. At Ballard Vale there is 450 feet that is in good order and reliable, and about 300 feet that is not to be depended on.
We would recommend that the sum of $2000 be appro- priated for the ensuing year.

Clerk of the Board of Engineers.

REPORT
OF THE
Road Commissioners.
To the Board of Selectmen.
During the year just past we have purchased tools, etc., for the use of the Town, and also a Road-scraper, which we find is a very useful machine, and probably money judiciously expended, the whole costing $232.07. In repairing Main Street the Commissioners, in order to finish it, and satisfy the real estate owners on the east side of the street, were obliged to overrun the special appropriation of $600; in order to meet the deficiency we took the balance, $250, from the appropriation for Highways.
We would recommend that the sum of $6000 be appro- priated for Highways for the year 1875, and that the sum of $300 be appropriated to finish Village Street.
JAMES H. SMITH, JOHN B. ABBOTT, GEORGE F. BAKER, Road Commissioners.

Selectmens' Report.
The Selectmen desire to submit some suggestions, and recommendations in connection with their Annual Financial Report. The year has been one of the usual prosperity; no new enterprises involving any considerable expense have been originated. The taxes have been moderate, and more than sufficient to meet all current expenditures. It is much to be hoped that the rate of taxation may not be unneces- sarily increased the coming year, and that we may continue free from the cumbersome load of debt which exists in many of our towns and cities.
