Respectfully submitted, HENRY W. HILL, Treasurer.
Selectmen's Report.
To the Citizens of Williamsburg :
Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending February 1st, 1908.
All of the accounts have been kept well within the amounts appropriated and available for them and show a balance.
It was voted at the last annual meeting, under Article 20 of the Town Warrant, to raise and appropriate the sum of sixty dollars to pay for four (4) street lights to be placed in Searsville, also that the matter of street lights be left in the hands of the Selectmen. Your board of Selectmen was unable to arrange for a meeting with the officials of the Mill River Electric Light Co., until the 18th of June.
At this meeting no definite action was taken, the Elec- tric Co. agreeing to submit proposals for lighting our streets. Two proposals were submitted, one for one year, and one for three years, viz. : "We will renew the street lighting contract with the town, for one year from April 1st last, on the basis of fifteen ($15.00) dollars for all in- candescent lights used, and seventy-five ($75.00) dollars for the arc light, same to be run as in the past, on moonlight schedule and until 12 o'clock midnight, town to furnish all renewals. Or, if you prefer we will make a 3-year con- tract at fifteen ($15.00) dollars for each incandescent light as now used, same not to be less than eighty-five (85) lamps, we to furnish all renewals, lights to be run as at present, on moonlight schedule until 12 o'clock midnight. We will
11
also extend the line about 1,500 feet, for the four extra lights desired on road to Searsville, and unplace the arc light with incandescent lamps. At the Town Hall we shall require a meter to be installed and all lights paid for at regular rates, and at the end of each year we will refund to the Town twenty-five ($25.00) dollars, providing that amount of current is used, which should be more than suf- ficient to cover cost of lights used for town purposes."
Neither of these proposals were accepted.
During the past year the arc light has been replaced with two (2) 32 C. P. incandescent lamps, and one lamp has been installed at the crossing near the Rail Road Station in Haydenville.
At present there are eighty-one (81) 32 C. P. incandescent lights in use.
Lights have been run the past year on the moonlight schedule and until 12 o'clock, midnight, on the basis of fif- teen ($15.00) dollars per light.
By the generosity of Mrs. Helen E. James the street lead- ing to the Cemetery over Village Hill has been greatly improved.
A sewer for the surface water has been laid from the res- idence of Mr. Jesse Wells to the river, thereby saving the Main street from being flooded in the spring, or by heavy rains, which heretofore has been a source of annoyance to the residents of the street as well as to the general public. A most excellent cement sidewalk has been built over the hill to the end of the Cemetery fence, also the highway has been graded and a coat of gravel has been put on. Owing to the frost and snow, it was not possible to finish the high- way. We understand however that this work will be com- pleted the coming spring. We feel that in no way can a public-spirited person better aid their Town than to im- prove 'our public highways. The total expense to Mrs. James for the improvement to the street leading over Vil- lage Hill was One Thousand, Six Hundred Thirty-six and 58 Dollars,

Report of Library Trustees.
The Trustees of the Haydenville Public Library give below the annual report for that institution for the past year.
We have added sixty-one books and have been very care- ful that none but the very best books published have been purchased. They have been very carefully selected and it is our aim that the high standard of the quality of the books which has prevailed during the last few years be maintained.
A book on the life of the late Dr. Earle of the North- ampton State Hospital was given to us by his daughter, and also a book was donated by Miss Anna Hayden.
There are about 127 people who take books from the library, and of these about 40 are school children from 12 to 16 years of age. It is our intention to add several vol- umes for the benefit of these younger readers.
Following is report of money expended during the year : Received from Town Treasurer, $125 98
