REPAIRS OF HIGHWAYS.
REPORTS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Selectmen :
The work upon the highways in the spring began with the scraping and cleaning of the gutters, after which West and Warren streets, from opposite the residence of Lester W. Mann on West street to opposite the residence of Richard Blanche on Warren street, was surfaced with gravel, also North street from the Braintree town line to Oak street, the steam roller being used, after the gravel had been spread and sprinkled with water, to complete the work. On South Main street, from opposite the residence of Winthrop B. Atherton north a distance of twelve hundred feet, the street on both sides of the tracks of the Brockton Street Railway was sur- faced with crushed stone.
North street, from the railroad bridge south a distance of eighteen hundred feet with a width of eighteen feet, was laid with macadam.
In the Fall considerable work was done on School street, a change in grade being necessary to prevent the water in case of heavy rain or sudden thaw from remaining on the street and making it impassable for travel. North Main street, from opposite the house of Steamer No. 2 a distance of one
.
14
thousand feet north, was raised in the centre by surfacing with crushed stone so as to shed the water into the gutters.
On North street north of Liberty street, where the road bed is sandy, the crust forming the surface had been broken by heavy teaming, and for a distance of one thousand feet crushed stone was used in repairing.
The sidewalks were also surfaced with gravel and the finer screenings of crushed stone.
There has been used in the repairs made upon the high- ways and sidewalks, and work of more permanent character by macadamizing, 2,454 loads of gravel, 1,614 tons of crushed stone and 58 tons of small stones that were not crushed.
At the close of the season, when work was suspended upon the highways, there was stacked for future use fifty tons of crushed stone and thirty tons of stone selected for the purpose of paving, which should be reckoned to the credit of the highway account.
The work done last year on Warren street from Main street, and on North Main street north of brook at " West Corners," also the work done the present year on North street south from the railroad bridge, shows what can be done in making macadam roads wherever it is determined upon by the town.
The expense of removing snow the present year was on account of storms between January 1 and April 1, and was much less than last year, when $3,287.83 was expended, the expense being for the present year $1,448.52; and is an item of expense that cannot be accurately estimated.

REPORT OVERSEERS OF POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1899.
Early in the year Mr. and Mrs. George R. Weaver, who had charge of the almshouse for ten years, resigned their positions as superintendent and matron, to take effect May first, and they continued in charge until that date, when their positions were filled by the appointment by the Overseers of Timothy M. O'Leary and wife.
The number of persons supported at the almshouse has been greater than last year; the total number of weeks of support for 1898 was 5831, at an average net expense of three dollars per week ; the number of weeks of support for 1899 was 6383, at an average net expense of two dollars and sixty cents, which is a very favorable comparison.
Alterations have been made in the sanitary arrangements the past year, and what has heretofore been a cause of com- plant and criticism, from the agents of the State Board of Lun- acy and Charity, has been remedied.
The buildings should be shingled the coming year, and we recommend an appropriation of two hundred and fifty dollars for that purpose.
The cost of support of persons elsewhere than at the alms- house and for temporary relief is less than last year; the amount expended for support of the insane is in excess of last year and, as will appear from the detailed statement of aid rendered, is about one-half of the amount expended.
Following are the expenditures for aid rendered under the different classifications :
