The lawn at the house of J. W. Conger, on Broadway, was graded at an expense of $42.42. The filling was done with gutter material, and was caused by the raising of Broadway.
The lawn at the Universalist Church was graded at an expense of $11.95.
On Myrtle street, at house of Mrs. Hannah Welsh, the drive was blasted, wall leveled and lawn graded, at an expense of $25.84.
This was called for, as the town, in lowering the sidewalk, abol- ished the driveway.
At the stand pipe at the junction of Chapel and Walpole streets was excavated and graded at an expense of $12.24.
CATCH BASINS.
The cost of cleaning the catch basins during the year was $153.20. The cost of care of catch basins in storms was $73.77.
MOWING BUSHES AND GRASS.
The cost of mowing the grass and cutting the bushes during the year was $142.52.
CLEANING PITS.
The cost of keeping the gravel pit clear during the work was $60.62.
60
EVERETT SCHOOL LOT.
The cost for grading around the bandstand in school yard was $176.34.
CONCRETE AND EDGESTONES.
On Washington street, east side, from land of Dr. E. B. Norton to Winter street, the sum of $77.08 was expended in grading and setting block paving to retain the concrete walk. The cost for setting the stone was 11 cents per foot.
The sidewalks on Cottage and Market streets were graded at an expense of $7.38.
On Washington street, at junction of Walnut avenue, a crossing was built. The expense for grading was $4.30.
The sum of 17.39 was expened in grading the sidewalk on the south side of Vernon street, from Nichols street to land of A. W. Stock- bridge.
On Washington street, west side, from Nahatan street to store of W. B. Hastings & Co., 256 linear feet of edgestones were set at an expense of $130.36. In excavating for the foundation, we encountered considerable solid and broken ledge, which increased the cost. All stone and waste material was carted to Melvin avenue. The cost for setting the stone was 22 cents per foot.
This sidewalk was paved with brick (as an experiment) to test the relative difference from concrete, as to durability and maintaining its surface. The total cost, including all labor and material, was $1.01 per yard.
PAVING.
Cottage street, south side, from outlet of catch basin on Prospect street to Nichols street, was paved at an expense of $411.93. Cost per yard, $1.08.
Bullard street, west side, from Day street to Vernon street, was paved at an expense of $133.64. Cost per yard, $1.22}.
In excavating for this paving, especially on Bullard street, we had from four to six inches of frost to contend with ; and as we have not used the screen at the Nugent pit (the source of getting our paving stones) for two years, we had difficulty in getting the proper stones for this work, which, with the labor caused by the frost, increased the cost per yard.
REMARKS.
The appropriations I have endeavored to keep within the limit, with the exception of Endicott street.
61
When the estimate for this street was made, it was not taken into consideration the raising of Walpole street by the State, which called for extra filling and was done with waste material in keeping the pit clear for the work on the highways, which were being repaired at the same time. The street is the entrance to Winslow Bros. and Smith Co.'s tannery and is used for their heavy teaming.
The highways (considering the appropriation) are in fair condi- tion, but I must confess, not what I would like to see them.
Washington street, from Railroad avenue to Dean street, and Walpole street, from Winter street to Chapel street, are in want of repairs at various places.
In repairing Walpole strect, the street would have to be cut in a number of places and material carted away in resurfacing with new gravel to give the strect a uniform grade from the rail.
The bridges are in good order and I think will need but little repairs the coming year.
I recommend that a new fence be constructed at the culvert on Neponset street abutting land of Albert Fales.
Also that a new fence at the culvert on Brook avenue, be built.
I recommend that a new fence be placed on the north side of Pros- pect avenue, running east from the old location for about 75 or 100 feet. This I consider necessary to obviate danger to travel.
I recommend that a new catch basin be built on the south corner of Prospect avenue and Nichols street, to connect with the one for- merly built on the north corner. This would relieve the corner from water, for, on account of the grade, the water stands there to quite a depth before running across the street.
I would recommend that a catch basin be placed on the south side of the hill on Day street, about 50 or 75 feet from Washington street, and connected with basin at junction of Washington street. This would check the flow of water crossing Washington street in case of hard storms or freshets.
I recommend that the sidewalk on the west side of Munroe street, continuing from the walk now built to Rock street, be concreted and block stones be set to retain the concrete.
I recommend that an appropriation be made for walks and edge- stones, and that a portion be used for repairs of concrete walks.
I recommend that an appropriation be made for paving, and that the unfinished work on Day street be completed.
I trust the above recommendations may receive your attention.
Following I present the account for labor and bills rendered during the year ;

[The Committee feels that the illegal selling of liquor in the town should be vigorously prosecuted, and has recommended an increase of $500 in the police appropria- tion, that the Selectmen may be furnished with a suffi- cient fund to carry on this work more efficiently than heretofore.]

ART. 23. That the sum of $1,500 be raised and appro- priated for building Sidewalks and setting Edge Stones for the current year.

ART. 30. That action under this article be indefinitely postponed.
[The Committee feels, with the sewerage question pending, and the changes in grade to be made on Wash- ington Street, due to the re-location of street car tracks, that the streets ean be kept in good repair for another year with gravel at a less cost than macadam, and with more satisfaction to the travelling public.]
ART. 31. That the sum of $600 be raised and appropri- ated to grade Davis Avenue.
6
ART. 32. That the sum of $235 be raised and appropri- ated for the purchase of a road machine.

[The Committee finds that Bond Street is not graded. The street, therefore, is not in condition for gravel, and in accordance with the well settled policy of the town, is not ready for acceptance.]
ART. 36. That action under this article be indefinitely postponed.
[As no work of grading has been done on the pro- posed extension of Howard street and it is not ready for gravel, the Committee feels that the policy of the town forbids its acceptance. ]
ART. 37. That the drain leading east from Walpole street, as laid out by the Selectmen, be accepted, and the sum of $300 be raised and appropriated to construct the same.
ART. 40. That a committee of five be appointed to make a thorough investigation into the best methods for the disposal of the sewerage of the town and the cost of the same, and re- port on the same, together with such information as to the con- struction, operation, and payment of a sewerage system for tlie town, and such action by the town in regard to it as will prepare the citizens for intelligent action, and that the sum of $300 be raised and appropriated to meet the expenses of said committee.
ART. 42. That action under this article be indefinitely postponed.
ART. 43. That the sum of $1,000 be appropriated from the treasury of the Water Commissioners, to set a hydrant near the E. J. Shattuck school house.
7
ART. 44. That the town increase the pumping facilities at Buckmaster Pond, and authorize the Water Commissioners to purchase and install additional pumping machinery and construct such additions to the building as may be necessary for such pur- pose, at a cost not exceeding $8,500, of which sum $2,500 shall be appropriated from the treasury of the Water Commissioners and the balance shall be borrowed on notes of the town.
Your Committee beg to state that careful consideration has been given to each article by the Committee as a whole, and in many instances by special sub-committees as well, and that two public meetings were held, at which all persons were heard who desired to make requests as to the disposition of the matters to be reported. Your Committee invites the citizens to make in- quiry of its members as to the reasons for its various recom- mendations, that action in the town meeting may be taken after the fullest discussion and with a thorough knowledge of the facts upon which this report is made.
If the above appropriations which your committee have recommended are voted ; it is estimated that the tax rate for the ensuing year will be, approximately, $17.80 per $1000.00.
