Two matters of importance to the welfare of the Town occur to your board, and deserve special mention.
STREET PAVING.
A portion of our Main street has been paved, and the re- sult has been so satisfactory that we recommend the continued use of block paving from time to time, as the Town can well afford, until the whole Main street, from the railroad crossing to South Main street, is completed.
WATER CONTRACT.
The contract made with the water company to supply the Town with water has not been renewed, as, after the special Town meeting, held July 8, 1901, we found that the board was unable to comply with the vote of the Town, and make con- tract for a year, at any reduction in rate, and consequently none was made. If the Town is not to purchase the works, it would seem desirable to authorize a contract to be made for a term of years and at less than present rates.
