SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


We feel an explanation is due to the voters of the town for the unusually large amount expended for highways the past year.


Last year there was owing for bills of 1896, $1,300, includ- ing the salary of the Superintendent of Streets for the balance due 1895-96. We believe that all bills are now paid up to Feb. 1,1898.


The case of Levi White, M.D., against the town, being decided against us so late in the season, we had to take it out of the Highway appropriation to the amount of $465, as we had no other appropriation from which to draw it. It would usually be drawn from the Incidental Department.


The work done by the Highway teams on Sidewalks appro- priation, which is usually put into the Highway Department, is credited to the unexpended appropriations.


After completing what we expected to repair on the Central street sewer, we found that another portion needed repairing, and we expended between $300 and $400 on the extra repairs.


The big snow storm cost us about $1,400, for which we have presented a bill to the M. H. & F. Street Railway for $460 as their part of the expense, but could not get it in in time to go into this report.


We have also bought a new team throughout, at an expense of about $400.
