Your board found by practicing the strictest economy that it was possible to do the work of trimming and cutting down of trees damaged by the severe ice storm of November, 1921, with a substantial reduction in the estimate, although much remains to be done. The stumps and further trimming needs to be looked out for the coming year. No doubt we shall need most of this balance for the year 1923, in the way of a new appropriation, but it will work out better to spread the spending of this money than to have used it all in one year.
A notable improvement was made in your large Town Park by construction of permanent cement bridges, and this work should be continued next year, as well as betterment of the pathways through the park. Your board also recommends the purchase of a power lawn mower for use on all the parks.
Park Commissioners,
MARTIN J. WALLACE, Chairman, FRED W. FITZSIMMONS, FRANK E NORCROSS, Secretary.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS.
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :
Gentlemen : The 1921-22 annual inspection made by me proved very satisfactory, in that the number of infected cat- tle was only (3) three. We were entirely free from rabies in dogs, and contagion among pigs was missing, perhaps due to the number of animals now vaccinated.
Cattle owners and milk producers are advised to look in- to, seriously, the Accredited Herd plan of eradicating tubercu- losis in cattle, which in my opinion, will surely be adopted by this state in conjunction with the Federal Bureaus.
DR. B. F. HARTMAN,
Inspector of Animals.

Unexpended balance, Jan. 1, 1923 $3,124 82
We take pride in the above report and hope the voters will scan it carefully. You will observe that our unpaid bills in all departments total $2,093.01 while owing our depart- ment is a total of $5,356.59. Add to this an unexpended bal- ance of $3, 124.82, gives us $8,481.41, or a net total of receipts over expenditures of $6,388.40. This is the second year in succession that we are pleased to make such a report-as last year our net gain was $3,258.46. We had an unsually large number of worthy cases during 1922, and feel that all were treated fairly and well cared for.
We are fast getting the Town Home in first class condition, the repairs last year including the erection of another new henhouse, fire-proof shingles on one side of the house, entire remodeling of the cow barn, with the installation of sanitary steel stalls, remodeling of men's room, new chimney, brass plumbing in kitchen, etc.

To reduce fire hazard, and also for sanitary purposes, the radiators were repiped and reset further from the walls.
