AUDITOR'S REPORT.
I have examined the books of the town officers. Those requir- ing bonds have given them. The bonds have been approved by the proper officers and are on file.
The School Committee's report is bound in a separate book, which is a desirable change, and may lead to other improvements.
The books of the Water Commissioners and Treasurer of Sinking Fund are neatly and correctly kept, and agree in all par- ticulars with the Savings Bank books.
Most of the books kept by town officers show much care and painstaking. The town Treasurer's books are open to some im- provements. Business to the amount of over forty thousand dol- lars has been done by the Treasurer. Every calendar month the books should be balanced by the Treasurer, examined and approved by the Auditor.
I find in the ledger no cash account between the Treasurer and the town, or between the Treasurer and his bank of deposit, except what may be on the stubs of his check book. Mercantile houses doing a business of forty thousand annually require monthly balance sheets and a careful cash account between the house and bank of deposit.
If these or other improved business methods could be adopted, much of the time spent in looking for errors would be saved.

Report of the Selectmen.
WAYLAND, March 1, 1897.
The Selectmen hereby submit their annual report as re- quired by the By-laws of the town.
We have appointed the following officers as required by Statute.
Engineers of the Fire Department : Ralph Bent, Edwin W. Marston, Henry B. Phalen.
Undertakers : Andrew S. Morse, David P. W. Loker. Inspectors of Cattle and Provisions : Thomas W. Frost, Thomas Bryant.
Registrar of Voters : Luther H. Sherman.
Superintendent of Streets : Isaac Damon.
Election Officers, Precinct I : Warden, Albion F. Par- menter ; Clerk, James A. Draper; Inspectors, M. W. Hynes, Edward Carter, William Stearns, William H. Camp- bell. Precinct II : Warden, H. B. Phalen; Clerk, Thomas Bryant ; Inspectors, E. B. Smith, R. E. Frye, Ralph Bent, Ed. A. Partridge.
Special Police : M. W. Hynes.
According to the vote of the town, the culvert near the house of C. B. Williams has been enlarged, and the money appropriated by the town, used ; also the road near the Simp-
13
son estate has been widened, and the money appropriated for said purpose, used.
According to the directions as laid out by the county com- missioners in regard to Sand Hill road, an appropriation of one thousand dollars will be required for grading said road.
An appropriation is necessary for the purchase of gravel, near Cochituate village.
We have purchased of Michael Ronen a small gravel bank.
The Boston & Maine Railroad Co. has removed all piles from the river bed, not required to support the railroad bridge, as ordered by the Selectmen.
We recommend that a sufficient sum of money be appro- priated for a special night police in Cochituate village, as it has been necessary since July I, for our regular officer to serve two nights in a week.
The case, Commonwealth vs. Wayland, has been tried in court, and the decision was in favor of Wayland.
Sheedy vs. Wayland has been settled.
The damage claimed by Henry B. Phalen, caused by water, has been satisfactorily settled.
We have been compelled to overdraw the appropriation for incidentals to the amount of $462.89, being caused in part by defending and settling cases against the town of Wayland.
The town scales at Cochituate have been repaired at the expense of about one hundred dollars ($ 100.)
The Towns of Framingham and of Weston having peti- tioned for the State Highway, this town being between the two said towns, we deemed it advisable to petition for the same, which has been done, and a survey is being made.
We deem it unneccessary to make any estimates for the various needs of the town for the ensuing year as the Fi- nance Committee is to consider all matters relating to the appropriation of money.
It gives us pleasure to announce that one of Wayland's public-spirited citizens, Dr. Frank W. Draper, has placed a
14
bronze Tablet in the North cemetery, marking the site of the First Meeting House erected in the town. The inscription is as follows :
ON THIS SITE IN 1643 The Sudbury colonists built their first meeting house
REV. EDMOND BROWN, MINISTER.
Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod;
They left unstained
What there they found, -
Freedom to worship God.
Respectfully submitted,
DAVID P. W. LOKER, ISAAC DAMON, THOMAS W. FROST, Selectmen of Wayland.

Report of the Committee
APPOINTED TO IDENTIFY AND MARK THE GRAVES OF REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS IN THIS TOWN.
The committee submit the following table, giving the names, and such other data as they have been able to obtain, of the men whose graves they have marked. It was found that the graves of Revolutionary soldiers are all in the old North burying ground, this being the original burying ground of the town of Sudbury, of which Wayland was a part until 1780.
Of fifty-three grave-stones examined there, bearing dates covering the proper period, forty-six are in memory of men whose names appear on the town records as having served as soldiers in the Revolution.
Names marked with an asterisk (*) denote men who were at Lexington and Concord, April 19, 1775, as per attested reports of commanding officers on file.
Names marked with a dagger (+) denote men who were at Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775.
The allotments as given are shown on the town records under date of October 26, 1778.
The usual markers of the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution were used, at a cost of $1.00 each.
