The electric lights have been extended from King Street to Fiske's Corner in Cochituate Village.
A loop of twenty lights has been extended in Wayland Centre.
According to the vote of the town we have purchased a bank of gravel of Mrs. Edgar B. Loker at the cost of $625. As no pro- vision was made for payment of the gravel the same was drawn from the incidental account, causing an overdraft in that account of $320.09.
The repairs on Main Street, Cochituate, were interrupted by the early severe cold weather; the contract was awarded to Mr. Andrew Allen of Wellesley, also a contract to concrete the side- walks. The work will be resumed as early as possible and will be completed on or before May first.
The renovating of Town Hall building is being done and will be completed as soon as weather permits.
