Very little has been expended on music except for some coda music for the closing exercises in Williamsburg. All the music which belongs to the school was carefully looked over and assorted, and used to good advantage. New series of the "Individual Sight Singing" should be on hand to use at the beginning of the Spring term.
In closing, I wish to extend my thanks and appreciation to the grade teachers for their efficiency and co-operation with me in the work.
Respectfully, MARY V. KILEY.

Selectmen's Report.
To the Citizens of Williamsburg :
Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending February 1st, 1907.
The expenses of the town have been kept within the appropriations with the exception of the Sidewalk account. Owing to the condition of the walks, especially in Hayden- ville, it was necessary to exceed the appropriation in order to put the walks in shape, so that the town would not be liable for damage.
It was voted at the last annual meeting to raise and appropriate the sum of six hundred and fifty dollars for the rebuilding of a new engine house in the village of Williamsburg.
Preparations were made by the Board of Fire Engineers to build an engine house that would come within the limit of the appropriation.
Mrs. L. D. James, desiring that the new engine house be placed in a more central position than the old one, also, that a larger and more attractive building should be erected, agreed that if the town would allow her to put up a build- ing according to her plan and specifications, she would pay the extra expense incurred. To this proposition your Selectmen agreed. The cost of this house was eighteen hundred fifty-eight dollars and thirty-eight cents, mak- ing Mrs. James' gift to the town twelve hundred eight dollars and thirty-eight cents. We feel assured that this gift of Mrs. James will be thankfully accepted by the town, also greatly appreciated by the residents of Williams- burg village.
