And a railing put up at an expense of ($26.00) twenty-six dollars.
In regard to Baldwin's bridge we have petitioned the county commissioners to rebuild the bridge and have reason to believe they will take the matter up in a short time.

We have granted a franchise to the Waltham, Weston & Wayland Street R. R. Co. to build an electric road from Wayland Centre to the Weston line.
In the case of Lupien against the town of Wayland, the jurors disagreed nine in favor of the town and three in favor of Lupien.

Assessors' Report.
WAYLAND, March 1, 1900. To the Inhabitants of Wayland :
The present year marks the highest tax rate Wayland has ever had, and such a rate is alike a burden to the farmer, manufacturer, merchant and artisan ; in fact its baneful effect is injurious to all, especially to those who own small homesteads and depend on their daily manual labor to support their families.
Seemingly the time has come when appropriations should be small, and these disbursed with the greatest economy. Such a rate of taxation, to a large extent, prevents the sale of real estate, and is an effectual bar to incoming wealth.
As the manufacturers of the town did not bring in any " lists " to the assessors of the value of their machinery and stock, we were compelled to employ the best means at our command to make the assessment proportionate to both the large and small factories - the basis of such computation being the number of employees. While we could not hope, with the limited information furnished us, to make this assessment absolutely just or to please all, yet, as no applications for abatement have been made to the assessors, it would seem as if there were no grounds for complaint.
A large number of the tax payers have asked the assessors to recommend that the "valuation list " for the year 1900 be printed. It would seem to be desirable to have the list of the last year of the century prepared for circulation, no list having been printed since 1882.
18
Under Chap. 578, Acts of 1898, the Natick & Cochituate Street Railway Co. paid its first excise tax to the town on its four and nine-tenths miles of track within our limits. The tax amounted to $174.60.

REMARKS.
We were obliged to purchase another horse this year, and owing to the severe drought of the past season the products of the farm were greatly reduced, also the rise in grain, etc., has effected the profits from the milk as milk did not materially advance in price.
An appropriation of twenty-five hundred dollars is asked for on same condition as last year.

Report of Trustees of Public Library.
To the Citizens of the Town of Wayland :
The trustees respectfully submit the following report :
During the past year nothing out of the usual routine of the library has happened.
The annual inspection in October resulted in finding the books and furnishings in good condition, aside from the ordinary wear arising from use.
The trustees have paid all accounts to the first of March, in accordance with the town's by-laws, as will be seen in the report of their treasurer, under expressage, librarian's and assistant librarian's salaries. Heretofore the custom has been to allow the expressage, the three month's salary of librarian, and the whole year's salary of the assistant librarian to go over into the succeed- ing year. The unexpended balance in the treasurer's report is due to the dog tax received late in February. This has been applied to the spring books purchased early in March.
On August 7th, of this year, the first half century of the library's existence will be completed, and some fitting recognition of the fact seems worthy of the town's consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN CONNELLY, Chairman. CHARLES F. RICHARDSON, Clerk. ARTHUR G. BENNETT, C. B. WILLIAMS, HARRY E. CARSON, FRANCIS SHAW.
