On taking office March 2nd, 1903, I found unpaid bills of previous years $646.81 (see mem. on previous page). The Selectmen were notified, and as these bills were due it was decided to pay them from this year's appropriations and run along until end of fiscal year. As a consequence there now remain bills of this year unpaid aggregating $533.00. (See mem. printed). For this amount the Committee rec- ommend special appropriation.


Have kept within the income this year, and made a gain of $113.81, the difference between unpaid bills of this and previous year.

Selectmen's Report.


To the Citizens of Williamsburg :-


Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending February 1st, 1905.


The expenses of the town have been kept well within the appropriations with the exception of the highway account which, owing to the great falling off in the sums received from the street railroad franchise and excise taxes, has overrun the amount available. Had there been received from this source the same as last year the showing would have been different.


In carrying out the vote of the town at its last annual meeting, your Selectmen appointed Hallock H. Nichols as general surveyor of highways, and the efficient manner in which he has performed his duties in this capacity we are sure will meet the hearty approval of all.


An opportunity was offered for the purchase of a quan- tity of second-hand 16-inch iron pipe for sluices. This was taken advantage of, and the pipe will be used as re- quired for this purpose.


An unusual amount of new material has been carted onto the roads during the past season, greatly to their im- provement.


The road past the creamery, intersecting with the main highway at the bridge near G. M. Bradford's sawmill, has been opened after plans furnished by Engineer Patteson of Northampton. A detailed account of the expense will be found on another page of this report.


John L. Mather's bill for construction of sidewalks in 1903 is still unsettled. The matter is in the hands of the Town's attorney.
