In accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts governing elections, Village Hall was fitted up as a polling place, a space railed off and compartments provided for the convenience of voters in marking and examining their ballots, and each compartment was supplied with cards of in- struction and other necessary facilities.

The Town Clerk delivered to the Ballot Clerks one sealed package marked eighteen hundred ( ISoo) official ballots, March 4, 1907, and one package marked six hundred (600) ballots for school committee only, March 4, 1907, and took their receipt therefor. The Ballot Clerks were provided with duplicate sets of lists of registered voters of the town, one for men voters and one for women voters, as prepar- ed by the Registrars of Voters for use at this election. They were also supplied with the official ballots taken from the pack- ages received from the Town Clerk and stationed at the entrance to the polling place with instructions to deliver such ballots only to voters whose names were found and checked on voting list. The ballot box used in elections" was then opened in public meeting, examined by the Moderator and other election officers and found to be empty. The register was set at zero and the box locked.

Article 5.


The committee appointed under Article 49 of the warrant calling the annual town meeting March 6, 1906, made the fol- lowing report :


"There was formerly at the point where Cedar street would go under the railroad, provided it were extended to Washington street, a passageway sufficiently large to allow the passage of a cart. This opening was filled up by the railroad some years ago. As near as your committee can find out, this opening was left by the railroad when it was built to allow the passage of cows from one part of the pasture, which had been cut in two by the road, to the other part. These openings under the rail- road were very common years ago wherever a piece of pasture land was divided by the building of a railroad. This old open- ing, therefore, was merely a private convenience for the owners of the land affected by the building of the railroad, not a public highway in any sense. If, therefore, it seems advisable to the town to extend Cedar street, as now laid out under the track to Washington street, it is the opinion of your committee that it would be necessary to take the matter up with the railroad com- pany in just the same manner as though the town desired to ex- tend any street under the railroad track at any other point :- in .other words, the railroad has deprived the town of no rights by filling up the old passageway on Cedar street.


,


19


"It is the opinion of the town surveyors that to extend Cedar street, as now laid out, would not be practicable because of the very steep grade at which it would be necessary to have the street pass under the track. The committee would therefore recom- mend that the town take steps to see if the railroad would reopen the passageway as it formerly existed. This could be done at a very small expense and would temporarily, we believe, answer all purposes. At some future time, we believe it essential that there should be at least one and possibly two streets running under the track in this vicinity. If only one street were put through, we doubt if Cedar street would be the best location. If, however, it is decided to have two openings, one of them would undoubtedly be as Cedar street is now laid out.


Respectfully submitted, JAMES BERWICK, (Per F. G. A.) FRANK G. ALLEN.
