SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The guide boards throughout the Town are in a bad condition, many of them are broken, defaced or entirely mis- sing. We recommend that they be replaced and repaired.
The present system of Credit Bills is pernicious in the extreme. No careful business man would transact his busi- ness in such a manner. Under the present system, the Town is obliged (unless the article bought happens to come under some especial appropriation), to obtain a year's credit. We do not believe, and every shrewd business man knows that supplies or any needful article be bought at as good advan- tage, as under a system of much shorter credit. We rec- ommend that an appropriation be granted so that the credit bills may be paid monthly, as is the practice in other towns. Under the present system no satisfactory report of the financial standing of the town can be made at the close of the fiscal year.
The Town House needs painting and we recommend that some action be taken in regard to the matter.
Owing to the amount of water that settled on the Sax- onville road, we thought best to relay the culvert at the cor- ner of the Saxonville and German Hill roads, at an expense of about fifty ($50) dollars.
We believe that the condition of the road from Way- land Centre to Weston, warrants an extra appropriation for repairing it and recommend the same.
For the financial condition of the Town, see Treasurer's and Auditor's Report.
