REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR,
In entering upon the duties of Highway Surveyor, my first work was in accordance with the vote of instruction passed by the town, that $1000 should be expended on Main street, beginning at Mal- den line. From that point to Wyoming Avenue, the entire width of the street was thoroughly graded, requiring 2300 loads of gravel, costing $184. Most of the balance of the appropriation was ex- pended for labor and material, in grading and repairing Green and Howard streets, Lebanon, Grove, Franklin, Main, Essex, Vinton and Lynde streets, confining the work to those portions that most needed it. A detailed statement will appear in this report.
I would respectfully recommend that the sum of $3000 be appro- priated by the Town for Highway purposes the present year, and that $800 of the same be expended on Main street, beginning at Wakefield line; also that $500 be additionally appropriated for concrete gutters in places where there is an unusual wash, notably on Main, Upham and Emerson streets, Wyoming Avenue, etc.
Respectfully submitted.
A. WILBUR LYNDE, Highway Surveyor.
REPORT OF FIRE ENGINEERS.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
In presenting our annual report, we have few fires and small losses to chronicle during the past year. What work the Depart- ment has been called on to perform, has been done in a manner creditable to the men and the apparatus in their charge. Below will be found a statement of fires, and the losses, insurance, &c., as far as could be ascertained.
For repairs and running expenses of the Department for the en- suing year, we recommend an appropriation of $2000, and our unexpended balance.
As a matter of economy we believe it to be for the interest of the Town to erect a permanent building for the Hose Company at Wyoming, on the expiration of the lease of the quarters they now occupy, and respectfully suggest that the matter be taken into consideration
FIRES.
