The street from Tyer Rubber Co., to the square has been macadamized. Two hundred feet of macadam was laid on Main street, below the Railroad bridge. Four hundred feet was placed on Essex street near the Railroad station. Twenty-two hundred feet was laid on Lowell street from Harry Abbott's to the corner at Greenwood road in West Parish.
Gutters and catch basins have been thoroughly cleaned. The road machine was not used in the spring on account of the dry season.
Work has been done for the Boston and Maine, for the
44
Village Improvement society, gravel sold and the roller let, for which the Town Treasurer has received the money.
The streets in Ballardvale have been kept in good con- dition by the Town team kept there.
The balance of the appropriation left from last year for the new street between Elm street and Walnut avenue has been expended on the street and sidewalk.

OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
Our Almshouse is under the efficient management of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Burnham, and we feel that the aged and infirm who find it necessary to spend their declining years there, are fortunate in having so comfortable a home, and in being looked after by these most competent and kind hearted people. The inmates are all well fed and clothed, and have every comfort consistent with their situation.
Our town's people are invited to visit this home and see for themselves how the poor people there are cared for.
While the inmates of the house are so comfortably pro- vided for, the accommodations for the cattle are not up to what they should be. If our town intends to carry on the farm, a new barn, one that will be a credit to the town, is very much needed as it would be a waste of money to at- tempt to repair the old one.
