Report of the Selectmen
To the Citizens of Plainville :
We herewith submit the annual report of the Selectmen, it being the seventh in the history of the town.
In many ways the town is extremely fortunate. At no time in the past have conditions for advancement looked brighter.
With the disaster by fire made good by the public spirit of Messrs. Schofield, Melcher and Schofield, Maintien Bros. and Elliott, the Foxboro Electric Light Co. and many others, the town has just cause to feel that these are better days. The work of the year shows an extension of the water service through Bacon street and part way on Warren and Walnut streets.
