RECOMMENDATIONS.
Several citizens have brought to our attention that the wages of town laborers in other towns have been adjusted to meet changing conditions. We recommend that it is the sense of the town meeting that department heads investigate the prevailing scale of wages in towns, and adopt a rate that will conform as near as practical to the rate existing in ' other towns of the same class.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
This board has called our attention to the unsatisfactory results obtained from the present system of removing gar- hage. Trey recommend that a contract be entered into with some person, insuring its regular collection and removal with- out interruption.
We, therefore, recommend that it is the sense of the town meeting that such a contract be entered into under such terms and conditions as the board, in their discretion, may deem proper.
HIGHWAY SURVEYOR.
Forty thousand dollars is recommended for highways in this report. Efforts have been made with the Commonwealth to secure some assistance for repairs to Cedar street to the
20
Hopkinton town line without success. The selectmen bave advised us that the highway surveyor intends to repair this road, thus making passable this through route from that sec- tion to the center of the town.
We, therefore, recommend that it is the sense of the town meeting that the highway surveyor, out of the forty thousand dollars, expend a sum not exceeding ten thousand dollars for repairs on this highway.
TOWN WARRANT.
Article 11, relative to salaries of the overseers of the poor, we recommend be acted upon favorably. Accordingly we have provided for the increase under salaries.
Article 15, relative to sewerage extension on Dominic street, we recommend be acted upon favorably.
Article 16, relative to appropriating ten thousand dollars for the Medway road, we recommend be acted upon favorably. In appropriating this money the state and county will agree to contribute twenty thousand dollars more toward the pro- ject, thus creating a modern rebuilt highway from East Main street to the Medway town line. We further recommend that the ten thousand dollars be raised out of the taxes to be as- sessed in 1922 and not further bond the town.
Articles 21 and 22, relative to the establishment and main- tenance of a dental clinic, we recommend be acted upon favor- ably.
Article 23, relative to the authorization of the issue of bonds for the purpose of enlarging the sewerage disposal works, we recommend be acted upon favorably. The sewer- age commission has received from the engineer a very thorough report showing the necessity of this work being done, copies of which, we understand, are in the town report.
Article 24, relative to installing a glass clock face on the town clock, we recommend be acted upon favorably.
Articles 25 and 28, ask for eight hundred dollars and one thousand dollars for repairs on Court street and Whitney street respectively. It has been the policy of the town not to
21
favor special appropriations for local short streets in the cen- tral part.
We therefore recommend that it is the sense of the town meeting that the highway surveyor confer with the propo- nents cf these articles and furnish the necessary repairs for these streets out of his appropriation of $40,000, and that the articles be passed over.
Similarly Article 26, relative to rebuilding a sidewalk on East Main street should be passed over.
We therefore recommend that it is the sense of the town meeting that the highway surveyor confer with the propo- nents of this article, and furnish the necessary repairs to the same out of the general sidewalk appropriation, and that the article be passed over.

Voted : That it be the sense of the meeting that the fol- lowing recommendation be adopted :-
Several citizens have brought to our attention that the wages of town laborers in other towns have been adjusted to meet changing conditions. We recommend that it is the sense of the town meeting that Department heads investigate the prevailing scale of wages in towns, and adopt a rate that will conform as near as practical to the rate existing in other towns for work of the same class.
Voted : To adjourn until Monday, March 20, at 8 o'clock P. M.
