REMARKS.


The foregoing accounts show the expenditures for which rders have been drawn on the Treasurer for the year ending anuary 31, 1889.


With the exception of the expense incurred in defending the mit of Isaac Ellis against the town, we believe the bills are all aid, and we have a balance in the treasury of $5,264.05.


The taxes assessed in 1888 have all been collected, and the nount paid to the Treasurer .. We respectfully renew our commendation of last year, that small appropriations make a w tax rate.


Ben Guild has cared for 2,936 tramps during the year.


HIGHWAYS.


Our streets are in good condition, but as we keep building w streets each year, and the supply of gravel in the centre of e town is exhausted, the appropriation for repairs must neces- rily be increased.


CONCRETE SIDEWALKS.


We suggested in our last report that the town vote to lay ncrete walks in the most thickly settled portions, where the utters would agree to pay one-half the costs. Under the vote ssed quite a sum was expended on side streets. This year hope that some arrangement may be made, so that we may ve concrete walks on the main streets.


ILLEGAL SALES OF LIQUOR.


We have, the past year, closed several places where liquor lias en sold, but as our Trial Justice rules that a man who keeps arders may sell to them all they want, provided he does not 00 urge them a profit, we do not expect to stop the sale entirely. 00

However, we ask for the same appropriation for the ensuing year.

During the past year we have had a larger number of fires than usual, which necessarily increased the expense of the De- partment. We consider the Department in good condition. The engineers would cordially invite the citizens of the town to call on town meeting day and inspect the house and apparatus, and see where their money has been expended.
