REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS.
Repairs of highways have been under the charge of James Riley as Superintendent of Streets. Included in the ex- penses is the completion of the widening and straightening of North Street to the Braintree line, as laid out by the County Commissioners, said expense being recommended to be taken out of the highway appropriation by vote of the town at the annual town meeting held March, 1894.
Our streets compare favorably with those of other towns. but they ought to be better ; they never will be until the present system of repairs is radically changed.
We have got to realize that the change must come some- time, and its first coming will be expensive. The present antiquated method of spreading so many loads of gravel or
8
dirt on our streets, and calling it repairs, must cease, and more modern and enlightened methods be adopted.
The town should own a stone crusher, and there should be built a certain amount of macadamized road each year.
The advent of the street railway through our Main Street emphasizes the fact that there at least a beginning should be made.
We urgently recommend to the citizens of the town a careful consideration of this subject.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
Owing to the fact that an unusually large number of cases of contagious disease have been reported to the Board of Health the past year, among which was one case of small- pox, the expense of this department has been larger than usual. We would respectfully recommend that for the ensu- ing year an appropriation be made to successfully carry on the work of this department in conformity with the require- ments of the public health.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The amount expended for aid to the poor out of almshouse is slightly in excess of the amount expended last year for the same purpose, due partly in consequence of the continued general dullness of business which we are experiencing in common with the rest of the country.
The almshouse is still in charge of George R. Weaver and wife as superintendent and matron.
There has been an unusual amount of sickness in the house the past year, and three deaths, Charles Hawes, Mrs. Annie L. Holbrook and Mrs. Ann Brophy, the latter for whom we were obliged to provide a nurse from the time of her en- trance until her death, a period of seven months.
The Overseers have had printed a set of rules and regula- tions, and copies of the same posted in each room, for the guidance of the superintendent and inmates.
