CITY AND TOWN OFFICERS.
EXPLANATION :- The towns are arranged in alphabetical order. Owing to the fact that city eleo- tions are held in December, just before the publication of this book, it is necessary for mechanical reasons to group the cities in a section immediately following the town matter, where they will be found also in alphabetical order.
Population figures are based on State Census of 1905.
The presiding officer in lists of Boards and Committees is designated by the letters "ch." after the name.
Unless otherwise mentioned the post office address of all parties is that of the town name itself.
The various signs following names of villages are explained as follows: 4, Post Office; O, Tele- graph Station; [, Railroad Station; X, Express Office.
Abbreviations for Express Companies are as follows: Ad, Adams; Am, American; BL, Boston Local; E&P, Earle & Prew; N, National; NYB, New York & Boston.
