Also two licenses to keep billiard and pool tables, and one inn- holder's license.
Permission was granted to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company to extend its lines along Pond street from Natick line to Main street. And permission was also given the Weston Electric Company to extend its lines from Bigelow's corner to Tower Hill.
We petitioned the county commissioners to re-locate the high- way over Baldwin's bridge and for assistance from the county in building a new bridge. The petition was granted and the county assumes two-thirds of the cost, provided the whole cost does not exceed $3,000. Bridge is to be completed on or before July 1, 1901.
The Massachusetts Highway Commission allotted $13,000 to this town, and it has been expended under the direction of the Commission on the Boston and South Sudbury roads. A further small allotment next year will enable the contractor to finish the state highway to the Sudbury line.
The suit of Lupien against the town remains undecided.
The lines between this town and Sudbury, Lincoln and Natick were perambulated as by law required.
As authorized, we have made a final settlement with the estate of W. B. Ward on account of his salary as collector and for all taxes collected by him.
We have purchased two sidewalk snow plows at a cost of $130.
The unusually large expenditure on account of salaries was occasioned by the payment of salaries of officers for the year end- ing February 28, 1900, as well as for the present year, it having been the custom heretofore to pay the salaries of the outgoing officers from the appropriation of the succeeding year. The salaries of all town officers are now paid, with the exception of that of the auditor.
