Selectmen's Report.


1


To the Citizens of Williamsburg:


Your Selectmen herewith present their report for the year ending February 1, 1913.


The past season two sections of macadam road have been built, one in Haydenville and one in Skinnerville, making a continuous improved road from the Northampton line to a point near the Village of Williamsburg, or approximately 2 1-3 miles. Three sections of gravel road have been built in Williamsburg, making a much-needed improvement.


The bridge near the Post Office in Williamsburg your Se- lectmen were unable to finish, owing to the lateness of season, but trust the same will be completed in the early spring.


The following is a list of the appropriations for the year 1912, with the expenditures under the different heads :
