The Surveyor of Highways would call attention to the fact that the department has constructed protection rails along the highways where most needed, but that there yet remains some new work to be done the coming year, as well as some repairing on the old rails. The guide post and street signs have also been put in excellent condi- tion.

REPORT OF THE ENGINEERS OF FIRE DEPARTMENT.
This year the Engineers were obliged to extend the engine house drain some one hundred (100) feet, at an expense of $19.71; also owing to the great amount of snow this winter, making it impossible to get the department out on wheels, we made a combination hook and ladder wagon on runners at an expense of $34.16.
The fire department and alarm are in good condition, and as soon as the Electric Light Company complete resetting the new poles, we shall remove our wires to the same.
