Finances.
The Town Treasurer's Report shows the financial condi- tion of the Town at the close of the fiscal year. It appears by the Treasurer's Report that there is now in the treasury available for general purposes the sum of $3,531.13. In addi- tion to this there are uncollected taxes for 1905, amounting to $1,955.62. There is also in the Treasurer's hands $1,752.68 belonging to the water works, together with $1,414.58 of un- collected water rates. This makes a cash surplus available for all purposes of $8,654.01.
The total indebtedness of the Town amounts to $61,000.00. All of this indebtedness has been contracted on account of the water works. This shows a net decrease of $2,000.00 the past year; there having been a $1,000.00 bond paid, and $1,000.00 paid on account of the sinking fund, which was applied in liquidation of the $10,000.00 note held by the Middlesex Institution for Savings. This note is now fully paid.
Town Records.
The first book of the Town Records has been rewritten during the past year. We think it is advisable to continue this work, and recommend an appropriation of $500.00 by the Town for this purpose.
Support of Poor.
Besides the care of the tramps, the Town has, for a part of the year, supported Mr. Stephen H. Garfield, who is now more than eighty years old, at an expense of $10.00 per week.
· Schools.
As in the past, we wish this year to call the attention of the Town to the obvious necessity of securing suitable ground for a schoolhouse. This matter can be acted on under the proper article, which is inserted in the Warrant.
31
Water Works.
No extension of the water pipes has been made during the past year; consequently no bonds have been issued. There has been a net decrease in the water debt, as stated elsewhere, of $2,000.00.
Public Buildings.
All of the public buildings are now in good repair, with the exception of the Centre schoolhouse. The Town Hall and the library are in fully as good condition in every way as they were immediately after their construction. The library build- ing, especially, is in a very satisfactory condition.
Highways.
Since the change in the method of repairing highways two years ago, Mr. John F. Farrar has had charge of the highways, having been appointed Superintendent each year by the Selectmen.
We see no reason for the Town changing the method which it adopted at that time, as the plan has worked well; in fact, much better than any plan which has been in operation in recent years. Less money has been expended for the care of the highways during the past two years, and on the whole we are sure that there has been a gradual improvement in the condition of the ways.
The Report of the Superintendent to the Selectmen will be found more in detail on another page of this Report.
Anniversary of Incorporation.
The Committee having in charge the printing of the 150th Anniversary proceedings have completed their work. The expense incurred has been considerably larger than at first contemplated, as it was thought desirable by the Committee to have this publication complete and one that would be a
32
credit to the Town in every respect and most valuable for · coming generations.
Each family of the Town has been furnished with a copy of the book, free. Six hundred copies were printed; about . one hundred have been sold; the adjoining towns and others who took part by invitation in the celebration have been fur- nished with free copies, and those remaining will be kept in the Public Library for future requirements.
· The town is indebted to Mr. Bradley, who has had full charge of the editorial work connected with the publication of the book.
