Report of the Board of Selectmen
For the Year Ending December 31, 1934
During the year we have been in constant touch with national affairs, especially those relating to the National Re- covery Program, in order to take advantage of anything that the program might offer that would enable us to make repairs and replacements on public buildings without putting too much of a burden on the taxpayers. The question of build- ing a new High School has been taken up twice, and we hope to have some definite and constructive information for the citizens at our annual meeting.
The Nashoba Health Unit, during the four years of its existence in the fourteen towns of the district, has proven to be of real value in properly safeguarding the health of the district. The Town must decide at the annual meeting to accept or reject the Article to continue the Health Unit. The expense of maintaining the Unit will not begin until 1936.

Report of Engineers of Fire Dept.
Pepperell, Massachusetts
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
Gentlemen :
The Engineers of the Fire Department submit the fol- lowing report for the year ending December 31, 1934.

We have 2900 feet of hose on hand which is in good condition.
