SELECTMEN'S REPORT
All regular appointments have been made as required by law. They appear in the lists of Town Officers and Committees.
Sherman's Bridge
Sherman's Bridge has been rebuilt, the cost being shared equally by the town of Sudbury, the County, and the town of Wayland.
It was possible to do this without calling a Special Town Meeting by taking part of the cost from the Gen- eral Highway appropriation and the balance from the Reserve Account.
Pond Street
Agreeable to vote of the Town, a section of Pond Street has been rebuilt. The contract was awarded to the Middlesex Construction Company, the lowest bidder.
Town Lines
The town lines between Sudbury and Natick have been perambulated and the bounds marked.
Counsel's Report
The present situation in regard to the deficiency in the payment of taxes to the town by the former tax col- lector as reported by the counsel employed by us to pro- tect the interests of the town is as follows:
"The total amount of deficiency as reported by the Treasurer up to December 31, 1925, was slightly over $67,000. It is expected that this amount will be increased by several thousand dollars when all 1923 and 1924 assessments have been checked up, but any additional deficiency will not have to be dealt with this year. There was collected from the National Surety Com- pany on account of the 1924 bond $20,000, the full amount of that bond, which was applied
91
against the deficiency before the end of the year. "The 1923 bond was for $20,000. Counsel made claim against the American Surety Com- pany for $35,000 on the ground that it was liable on other bonds because the deficiency had apparently arisen from a long course of defalca- tions over many years. The bonding company denied liability but after considerable negotia- tions has paid $9000 on account and offered an additional $18,500 to settle its liability to the town. It is necessary for the town to vote on the question of whether or not this offer shall be accepted. The necessary Article for this pur- pose has been drawn to be inserted in the war- rant for the coming town meeting. The accept- ance of this total of $27,500 from the American Surety Company has the great advantage of settling the amount that will be recovered at once and without additional expense. If the settlement is not accepted suit will be necessary, which will be very expensive on account of the extraordinary difficulties of proving anything from the books of the collector. It would also much reduce the amount that must now be ap- propriated for this year's taxes and is in my opinion as counsel a wise compromise."
In addition to the above-mentioned sums which may be obtained from the American Surety Company, there is $7800 which was put in a special account in a Boston trust company in the names of the attorney for Mr. Gerald and attorney for the Town under a written docu- ment whereby that money was to be turned over to the Town by way of restitution if it was proved that there were any deficiencies in the 1923 and 1924 taxes when the final account of the auditors was completed. Since the completion of that final account, it is reported that Mrs. Gerald has made a claim to that money and has brought suit to recover. There is now pending certain litigation relating to this fund. It is believed that the Town is entitled to this money and will be able to main- tain its claim thereto. Without counting this $7800 and assuming that the offer of $27,500 by the American Surety Company is accepted, there will be a deficiency of $19,600 remaining, which would be reduced to $11,800 if the $7800 belongs to the Town.
92
There are outstanding $40,000 of unpaid tax notes relating to the years 1923 and 1924. If the American Surety Company's offer of $27,500 is accepted and applied to these notes, there would remain $12,500 of notes to be paid. This is the amount that must be appropriated by the Town if the American Surety Company's offer is ac- cepted. If the American Surety Company's offer is not accepted, the Town must appropriate $40,000 to pay the notes and receive what it may succeed in recovering from the American Surety Company by litigation to help re- duce future tax rates rather than that of this year. We believe the Town will be exceedingly fortunate if it is required to appropriate only $12,500 this year for this purpose and we strongly recommend the acceptance of the offer of the American Surety Company in order that the whole matter may be cleaned up at once and the entire amount of expenditure determined as speedily as possible.

If the town votes to have a town accountant, as rec- ommended by the State Auditors, the town auditor will have little or nothing to do. We have therefore omitted from our report any sum for salary or incidentals for the auditor, leaving those amounts to be fixed by special vote after the town has voted on the question of appointing a town accountant.
We recommend that the members of the Board of Health be placed upon an annual salary basis like most of the other officers of the town.
We recommend that the unexpended balance of the salary of Lester R. Gerald as Tax Collector and as Select- man be credited to the Lester R. Gerald Deficiency Ac- count on the Treasurer's book, thereby to that extent reducing the deficiency.
We recommend that the money received from Dog Licenses be appropriated one-half to the Schools, "Edu- cation," and one-half to the Library.
We recommend that the unpaid bills of Assessors' Salaries, $257.50; Assessors' Incidentals, $78.00; Collec- tor's Incidentals, $126.35; Taking of Census, $125; Town Hall, $35.73, and Moth Dept., $85, be appropriated and assessed.
We recommend that the following overdrafts, Fire Dept., $656.60; Board of Health, $37.19; Highways and Bridges, $569.89, be appropriated and assessed.
We recommend that the unexpended balances of the following accounts, Cemetery Survey, $29.00; Legion Hall Sidewalk, $400; Water Main, Connecticut Path, $107.24; Fire Department Equipment, $217.25; Drainage, Board of Health, $690, be transferred to surplus account.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
The Board of Health respectfully submits the fol- lowing report for the year ending December 31, 1925.
The general health of the town from the standpoint of communicable diseases shows a slight increase of the past year.
The Board has found several places by the road- sides where people dump garbage, tin cans and rubbish. The Board has had notices put up in these places, hoping it will stop that practice.
Licenses were given to 5 garages and filling sta- tions for the sale of wood alcohol, denatured alcohol, etc.
Inspected camps in both ends of town and found them in good condition; all outhouses were cleaned, all refuse burned or buried.
The Board inspected the piggeries in the town and found them in good condition.
Mague piggery, in the north end of the town, has been remodeled and has been kept up in first class shape, clean and sanitary.
All pond and mud holes have been sprayed for mosquitos.
