On Nahatan Street, at house of Frank Talbot, and 155 feet 8 inches of pipe laid, at an expense of $69.95.

BRIDGES.
Lenox Street bridge has been replanked at an expense of $39.16.
Short and Dean Streets have been replanked at an expense of $29.16.
PAVING.
The gutters on Washington Street from house of H. P. Rhoads to house of George Morse, and from Sumner Bagley's to Rock Hill Street, have been paved. Total number of yards, 504. Cost per yard, 784 cents.
Eliot Street from eateh basin to field eulvert. Total number of yards, 1613. Cost per yard, $1.11. This gutter, in order to conform with the street, had to be raised, increasing the cost per yard.
Washington Street, from Howard to Railroad Avenue. Total number of yards, 131 7-9. Cost per yard, 85 cents.
.
47
Maple Street, from Nahatan to culvert. Total number of yards, 473. Cost per yard, 90 cents.
On Guild Street, from Linden to catch basin, the paving was relaid at an expense of 35 cents per yard. Total number of yards, 133%.
On Market Street the gutter was concreted from H. E. Farns- worth's to culvert. Total number of yards, 155. Cost per yard, 70 cents.
The roads I find in fair condition. The streets which I think need the most extended repairs are Walpole Street, Winter from Beach to Walpole, Winslow's grade crossing hill from en- gine house to bridge, and a number of places from bridge to Dean Street, Washington Street from Howard to Granite, Pleas- ant Street from Railroad Avenue to Cross, and Neponset Street from Pleasant in spots. There are numerous other streets that need patching. I recommend that Winter Street be paved from Beach to Walpole on south side. In order to pave the gutter the street will have to be raised about a foot, and I recommend, if street is raised, to use macadam. I recommend that the street from the house of George B. Talbot to Granite Street be sub- drained and macadamized ; also that a rail fence be placed at the corner of Mylod and Washington Streets. I recommend an ap- propriation for concrete sidewalks and edgestones to be placed at grade where required by the public. An appropriation each year will soon give dry and hard walks.
