No. 4. The territory bounded east by District No. 3, north by the road leading from the Thompson Road, west to the central turnpike aud a line extend- ing therefrom in the same direction to the French River, and west by said river and south by the Con- necticut line.
No. 5. The remainder of the town bounded east and north by Districts 3 and 1, including the ter- ritory that was formerly a part of Oxford, situated on the west side of French River, west by said river and south hy Districts 3 and 4.
The district system was abolished in 1867 by law, and since that time a steady improvement has marked the schools of the town. There are now fourteen schools besides an evening school. There are a High School with an average attendance of 47, a High Grammar School with an average attendance of 34, the No. 1 Centre School with an average attendance of 34, the Feuner Hill School with an average attend- ance of 29, the Prospect Street Intermediate with an average attendance of 27, the Prospect Street Primary School with an average attendance of 31, a Grammar School with an average attendance of 34, the Gore School with an average attendance of 10, the Kings- bury School with an average attendance of 7, the First Primary, No 4, with an average attendance of 37, the Second Primary, No. 4, with an average at- tendance of 38, the Intermediate, No. 4, with an aver- age attendance of 29, the Grammar Room, No. 4, with an average attendance of 33 and the North Village School with an average attendauce of 29.
To support these schools appropriations were made at the annual meeting of 1888 of $2000 for the High School, $4200 for the common schools, $1000 for school incidentals, $300 for books and supplies and $400 for evening schools.
The appropriations for other purposes made at the same meeting, which may properly be mentioned in this place, were: For roads, $2200; sidewalks, $1500; repairing sidewalks, $600; Fire Department, $2000 ; water supply, $565; hook-and-ladder truck, $1000; Memorial Day, $100; street lights, $1500; salaries, $1500; interest, $500 ; insane poor, $4400 ; Poor Farm, $1200; railings for dangerous places, $150; snow, ice and gutters, $300; town incidentals, $2000; buildings at town farm, $2600, and repairs of Harris Street, $1000-making the total appropriation for the year $30,265, or a valuation of $2,290,844.
During the War of the Rebellion the inhabitants of Webster faithfully performed their duty in the enlistment of soldiers and in the appropriation of
money. There was no military company within the limits of the town and consequently the patriotic rather than the mere military spirit of the young meu inspired enlistments in the service. These en- listments began at the earliest period of the war and were kept up with vigor as long as demands were made on the town for recruits. At the close of the war it was found that Webster had furnished three hundred and sixty-seven men, a surplus of fifty-seven over its required quotas.
On the 29th of April, 1861, at a legal town-meet- ing, it was voted "to pay each volunteer, belonging to Webster, five dollars a month while in active ser- vice, and to his wife and mother, dependent upon him for support, one dollar and a half per week, and to each child fifty cents per week, and if the family should need more the amounts to be increased at the discretion of the Selectmen." It was also voted to pay volunteers one dollar per day while drilling, the aid to families beginning when the soldiers were sworn into service. At the same meeting the sum of four thousand dollars was appropriated for the estab- lishment of a war fund.
On the 6th of July, 1861, the town voted " to fur- nish the Slater Guards, then drilling, with uniforms preparatory to its entering the service as Company I of the Fifteenth Massachusetts Regiment of Infantry." On its departure a dinner and the sum of one thou- saud dollars were given to the men, and swords and belts to the officers. The ladies of the town gave also to each man mittens and socks, and William T. Shumway presented the company with a flag.
On the 5th of November the town voted "that we hereby tender our thanks to the Slater Guards for their bravery at the battle of Ball's Bluff." On the 10th of July, 1862, it was voted "to pay a bounty of one hundred dollars to each soldier enlisting for three years on the quota of the town." Ou the 8th of De- cember, 1863, the sum of six thousand dollars was appropriated for a war fund and a like sum for re- cruiting purposes. On the 14th of July, 1864, it was voted to increase the bounty to one hundred and twenty-five dollars. The money appropriated by the town during the war for war purposes, exclusive of State aid, was $28,674.61, and the amount paid for State aid was $18,920.63.
The following is a list of the soldiers furnished by the towu with the terms of their enlistments and the organization to which they belonged. The terms of enlistment of those not marked were, in each case, three years, those marked (1) enlisted for nine months; those marked (2) for one hundred days; those marked (3) for one year; and those marked (4) for three months.

The first meeting of the town was held under a warrant issued by Charles Allen as justice of the peace, and directed to Jonathan Day, one of the free- holders of the town of Webster, requiring him to no- tify and warn the freeholders and other inhabitants of the town qualified to vote in the choice of town- officers to meet at the Baptist meeting-house on the 2d day of April, at two o'clock iu the afternoon, to choose all necessary officers. The warrant was dated March 7, 1832. On account of the sickness of Judge Allen the meeting was called to order by Ira M. Bar- ton, a justice of the peace, who read the act of iucor- poration and then put the question to the town, " Will you now proceed to the choice of a clerk ? " which was responded to unanimously in the affirmative.
