ANNUAL REPORT.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Owing to the financial condition of the town the past year we feel that some explanation should be given the citizens of the town. At the beginning of the present treasurer's term of office he received from the retiring treasurer $411.85 and as one note negotiated by him was not assessed, the present treasurer was obliged to pay this note from the money in the treasury March 1st, 1897, which left the treasury at that date practically empty and all back bills had to be paid from the new appropriation voted at the annual meeting held March 1, 1897. The amount of said bills paid on account of the different de- partments follows :
Schools
$734 25
School Incidental
90 63
Incidental
458 09
Poor
218 50
$1501 47
Most of the town officers for this year have not been paid. We look back to the report of 1886 and find at the settlement in the hands of the treasurer a sum sufficient to pay the winter term of schools. It is. embarassing to the school committee as well as the treasurer to find this sum has disappeared not because the schools have over- drawn their appropriation but because the total appro- priations each year have been a little less than the ex- penses of the town each year and bills had to be paid from the total appropriations without regard to the differ- ent departments. We have been obliged to do likewise the past year, which is not right. We know that there should be money in the treasurer's hands on 10th Feb.
.

ANNUAL REPORT.
each year to pay the winter term of schools and all out- standing bills within the appropriations for the past year. In consequence of having bills remaining unpaid from the previous years which had to be paid out of the appropria- tions for the current year and the appropriations and amounts outside the appropriations available for poor and incidental expenses being much less than usual. We have unpaid bills of the following amounts:
Schools due the winter term
$696 70
School incidental
134 94
Incidental
600 46
Poor
342 52
Highway including draw tender of Berkley
Bridge
200 00
Board of Health
14 30
High School tuition
310 00
$2298 92
These bills are due and should be paid.
We have made especial effort to have all bills now due presented, and what we have been unable to obtain we have estimated agreeable to a vote of the town at an adjourned meeting held April, 1891. The town should provide for the payment of its unpaid bills and for two of its notes in the treasurer's report namely, the one for $600.00 made in 1893 and one of $800.00 made in 1896. These notes will have to be paid in April, 1898, if not provided for as the bank holding them object to renewing them after that date.
We have given two hearings during the past year to the Taunton and Providence Street Railway Company, and have granted them a franchise which was rejected.
Agreeable to a vote of the town at its adjourned meeting held in March last a petition was filed with the

Railroad Commissioners for a hearing in relation to the fares charged on the Dighton, Somerset and Swansea Street Railway. After several postponements a hearing was granted Jan. 26, 1898, the result of which is at pres- ent unsettled.
