Due to acts of the legislature we had no Chapter 90 work this year and we will have none in 1940.
We wish again to extend to the Finance Committee, and all the other Town Officials, our appreciation of their cooperation during the past year.

Report of Finance Committee
The Finance Committee has held five meetings during the year. At a meeting held January 16, 1940 it was voted not to recommend any increase in the salaries of any Town Officers, but allow them to come before the Town meeting and make their requests.
The committee respectfully requests that each depart- ment submit a tentative budget carefully prepared in de- tail, together with a statement of 1940 expenditures for each item, when they are called to meet the Finance Com- mittee next year.
Details of the budget recommendations will be found in another column.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Water Commissioners
Your Water Commissioners wish to report as follows:
The year of 1939 saw the completion of water main on Hatfield Road in Haydenville and the lowering of four- inch main under river bed at Searsville.
The citizens have received a much needed gift of four drinking fountains, three in Haydenville, and one in Wil- liasburg to replace old cement fountains. Said donation being made by the W. C. T. U. and from the use these fountains are receiving, can assure the donors they are very much appreciated by the people of the two villages.
On two WPA projects sponsored by your commis- sioners ,the following work has been accomplished at a minimum cost to the Town, and will no doubt save con- siderable in years to come.
Most of the damage to our reservoir property has been repaired.
The spillway of the lower dam has been completely rebuilt and is much more secure than previously. The above was entirely washed out at time of hurricane in September, 1938.
Three new bridges have been built, all of which were washed out at the time of the hurricane and have been re- placed in such a way we do not think high water will again disturb them.
Certain parts of property adjacent to reservoir was badly washed away and would cause considerable erosion to our property and we are happy to say that this has been practically all completed by fill.
35
Fifteen thousand red pine trees were set out this spring and except for replacement of dead trees this should complete the reforestration of reservoir property.
WPA help also cleared 85 acres of brush on your prop- erty and burned same. All the brooks leading to our water supply will be cleaned of brush and heavy timber felled during hurricane is now in the process of clearing and the spillway is to be enlarged.
The earthen dam of large storage reservoir has settled in places, twelve to eighteen inches and in the spring a WPA project which is now working at reservoir will make the necessary repairs to put this in first class condition.
The labor of doing all this work on your property has saved thousands of dollars and has accomplished work your water commissioners have wanted to do for years, but the cost was prohibitive.
Respectfully submitted,
RAYMOND GRAY, Chairman,
CHARLES A. POWERS, MARTIN J. DUNPHY, Water Commissioners.
