ANNUAL REPORT
Permanent Sidewalk-
The Selectmen desired to place the new sidewalk on the west side of South Street, beginning at Bacon Square and extending in a southerly direction, but the installation of the new poles by the electric companies and their inability to remove the poles in time, caused us to have the walk built on the east side of the street. We recommend that the next piece of walk be laid from Bacon Square, south, on the west side of South Street.
The appropriation for a sidewalk north of the Russell place was not used because of the poles and the boundary lines and other conditions. If the walk is desired this year, the old poles, when removed, could be used as retainers to hold the walk in proper position.
In the Street Department the necessity of hiring a street sweeper and the inability of Mr. Herring to hire one when needed, necessitated the purchase of a second hand sweeper which was in first class condition and purchased for $150.00, thus saving the long wait neces- sary for another town to let their sweeper out.
During the year the Board has been obliged to appoint three new men to fill vacancies in different town offices.
At the regular meeting on June 14, 1928, a joint meet- ing of the Board of Selectmen and School Committee was held and Mr. Rufus King was appointed to fill the vacancy in the School Committee caused by the death of Mr. Harlie Thompson.
At the regular meeting on November 22, 1928, Mr. Galen W. Hoyt was appointed Town Clerk to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Theodore E. A. Fuller.
At the regular meeting on January 10, 1929, Mr. Archie Walden was appointed Superintendent of Streets to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Francis E. Herring.
WILLIAM E. BLANCHARD, HARRY A. HOLT, WILLIAM H. NASH, Selectmen of Plainville.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
This is to certify that I have carefully examined the books of the Treasurer and find them correct.
I have examined the books of the Collector of Taxes for the years 1926, 1927 and 1928 and found the amounts collected and paid the Treasurer and the amounts un- collected agree with the statement of the Treasurer.
I have examined the books and compared the vouchers of the Selectmen, Water Department, Fire Department, School Committee and Public Library and find they agree with the payments of the Treasurer.
Respectfully, ALICE E. SIMMONS,
Plainville, Mass., Feb. 6, 1929. Town Auditor.
