ANNUAL REPORT.
for the material. A large task was accomplished in repairing the hill section of Muggville. Early in the year 'over 700 loads of good material were placed on Bank Street in the sec- tion running through the swamp. North Main Street, from Blackinton's Bridge to Brady's Corner, received an excellent surface dressing from the light station bank. On South Main Street, below the juncture of Maple, the gutters were opened and much refuse removed, and over 1,500 loads of gravel put on. Much work and gravel was administered on Third and Mechanic Streets, much of the material being secured while cutting through Fourth Street, hence being free to the depart- ment. From Orange Street a lot of waste was removed, and the street was graded. Pine, Parker, and East Streets were treated in the same manner, a part of the new material being contributed by Messrs. Alonzo N. Brownell and Everett S. Horton without charge. Linsey Street was largely improved. Is the itemized account which follows will show, work was done on nearly every street in the village proper. South Main Street, between Park and Mill, was much improved at what we consider a light expense, while the old material taken from its surface was used to good advantage on Park Avenue. South Main received a fine serviceable coating of cracked stone. We recommend this treatment for all streets in the immediate centre hereafter, as we believe streets so constructed are equal to those which received more expensive treatment with little added serviceability.

ANNUAL REPORT.
In the past street superintendents have been accustomed to dump all stones in swamp holes and similar places. A change of policy, which may well be permanent, has now been introduced. The division superintendents have been instructed to save whatever stone they meet in opening banks within a mile of the crusher. In the winter months the pay of teams and men continues, but there is little for them to do. This vear they have been employed in drawing the stone thus collected to the crusher yard. In this way many tons have been secured at a nominal cost for transportation.
We have two features in the highway work on which the town may receive congratulations. The department has pur- chased at a price too low to have been possibly anticipated a first class and thoroughly up to date steam road roller. It comes with a three-year guarantee for repairs, and, in the opinion of men able to judge. is completely satisfactory. It is suitable for accomplishing all the work likely to be needed from it. The second cause of town joy is the disposal of Attlebo- rough's white elephant, the little horse power roller. For this 8400 in cash was received, though the purchaser declared it "' not worth a ten cent piece." The money proved very use- ful when applied to highway construction work.
The property of the highway department consists of one twelve-ton steam roller, stone crusher, engine and equipment, including a Fairbanks scale, 5 tip carts, 12 snow ploughs, 2 road machines or scrapers. 3 water carts, 1 sewer wagon, 3

horses, 3 single and one set of double harnesses, 1 stub and 2 side ploughs, together with a large assortment of small tools such as picks. shovels, rakes. hoes. axes, etc. The above. wear and tear considered, are in good serviceable condition. and little will need to be purchased in 1899 except a few small tools.
The department has also. located on the old .' lock-up lot." a small barn and sheds. These will have to be moved. as the lot will undoubtedly be sold. We recommend that they be removed to the crusher yard. and that an appropriation be made to carry this into effect.
Outside of the streets in the village centre the highways are in a condition better than in many years past. and the direct result of this condition is that for the next two or three years much more attention can be applied within the village.
Thanks are due to all who contributed from their land valuable road material, and to all others who showed favors to this department in the past year.

THACHER BROOK DRAIN.
The construction of this drain has been continued the past year from the point where work was stopped last year north through the land of the D. E. Holman estate to a point fifty feet above the north side of Emory Street, a distance of 253 feet. The drain has been constructed in a good substan- tial manner, walled on both sides with large stone, with the outside of walls cemented. The bottom of drain has been paved. A good substantial hard pine bridge has been built at Emory Street. The fence has been continued to the bridge. The entire length of the drain has been cleaned out, two men hav- ing been employed on this work for some six weeks, and a large amount of sand, gravel, mud and refuse matter, the accumulation of years, removed. more than 250 loads of sand and gravel having been taken ont of the upper part of the drain alone. Would recommend that this work be continued.

STREET SPRINKLING.
In order to properly sprinkle the village streets it would require the employment of all three of the town's carts. The district is so large that two cannot do it satisfactorily. and we doubt if three would during a drought. Our predecessor con- tracted with George H. Snell for rebuilding and repairing all three of the carts, so out of the $1,600 appropriation one of the first levies was over 8400 for Mr. Snell's work. The repair bill has been therefore in the neighborhood of $480. making it possible to have only two carts in use. This has been a cause of some dissatisfaction, but the best was done with the means at hand for the work. In future the taxpayers

will receive satisfaction only from such a service as an in- creased appropriation will make possible with the use of three carts.
