$1,940 00
This is the part received from the old town of Braintree, as the share of Randolph on division in what was and is known as "the Coddington Donation" for the support of schools.
The town of Holbrook receives its share in it now, as it is embraced in the valuation and computation. The Cod- dington Fund in future, therefore, is not in reality the whole of that property, but only about three-fifths, the income of which is for the use of schools.
In the written agreement made and signed by the Select- men of the two towns, a provision is inserted, that in respect to any future receipts or payments on account of the old town of Randolph, they shall be adjusted in the month of Jan- uary annually, according to the valuation of the towns, and the act of the Legislature, until the whole is complete.
Reespectfully submitted.

It will appear that the expenses of repairs of roads and removing snow amount to about $2,600 ; the balance of ex- penditures in this department, about $761, being for new roads. To keep the roads in good condition for the ensuing year, we estimate will require the sum of $2,500, and we recommend that an appropriation of that sum be made.
Several places in town, on Union, Mill, Warren, South Main and Beal streets, unquestionably require railing, and in order that it may be done, it is proposed that the sum of $500 be raised for that purpose, and for making some extra improvements on Howard, Plain and Mill streets.
Upon petitions presented, we have laid out four new streets. The reports of location of the same have been placed on file in the Town Clerk's office, for the action of the town thereon at its annual meeting. They are : -
