REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
THE Selectmen, in submitting their annual report for the year ending February 1st, 1872, offer the following sugges- tions and explanations for the consideration of the town.
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
The Road and Bridge Committee have expended the past year the sum of $1,865.87. To complete the repairs on Mount, Blue and Cedar Streets, will require an appropriation the present year of $500.
TOWN HALL.
The Town Hall has been removed the past year at an ex- pense of $425.69, one-half of which is refunded by Mr. Nash. There has also been expended for Town-House lot, $75 ; for lumber and labor for fence, $24.40 ; making a total cost to the town of $326.95.
SCHOOL-HOUSES.
The House in District Five has been furnished with new furniture, at an expense of $208.71; with this exception the expenses of the several houses have not been large, yet we believe that the expenses would be less if the houses and out- buildings were better cared for.
In the suit which has been pending between this town and Hanson for support of Wm. O. Thomas and family, a hear- ing was had at the last term of the Superior Court, and a verdict rendered for the plaintiff town. The subject will be laid before you at the Annual Meeting.
