In presenting the foregoing Report, and appraisal, your humble board would respectfully call your atten- tion to the copy of receipts and expenditures taken from Superintendent's Town Farm Book. It will be seen that he has made a slight gain in favor of the town, and if the season had been favorable, and no accident had occurred in his herd of cows, we see no reason why he would not have paid his own salary. Not many farmers have done as well. With all confidence, we think the farm will pay another year, and earnestly recommend that the present Superintendent and wife be retained : They are careful, economical, and honest, and certainly work for the in- terests of the town. In viewing the premises we find that the house and barn still need repairs to make them comfortable and safe, and would recommend a small appropriation for that purpose. Also, that the new wagon shed have doors made, to further increase the usefulness. Many other things might be mentioned in regard to needed outlays, but present depression in busi- ness, calls for an economical view. Therefore, we would recommend that all appropriations for the coming year, be made as small as possible, to cover only the actual needs. The Selectmen, acting with the Road Commis- sioners, report that the Cotley Bridge, so called, was found to be in a very rotten, unsafe condition. When the work was commenced to rebuild and enlarge, it was easily seen how the town could have had a large bill to pay for damages, if neglected any longer. The bridge was
38
ANNUAL REPORT
rebuilt in a substantial manner, satisfactory to all, at an expense of $141.66. It was also left in the hands of the Selectmen, to fit up a room in the Town Hall, for the use of Town Officers. An appropriation of $50 was made for that purpose, and they have expended $49.15 on the same. It certainly will pay for itself in a short time, as it was a piece of extravagance to try to heat up the large Hall. for so many small meetings. Also, the stove in the main Hall was repaired, and new pipe furnished throughout, making it safe, and in a condition to last a long time.
The board would also report, that Berkley and Dighton Bridge has been cared for, at only a slight expense, out- side of the regular cost, for draw tender. Some malicious- ly disposed person having appropriated, or destroyed one of the cranks for turning the draw, a new one had to be made.
In regard to the Outside Poor, we can only say, that it is something we cannot set one side, for they must be comfortably provided for, in some manner. Of couse some are more deserving than others, but there are always some aged, or helpless deserving people among us. Hop- ing that the expenses in this department may be lighter the coming year, the above is

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The board of Trustees having complied with the re- quirements in fitting up a room, and appointing a proper custodian, received the donation of one hundred dollars worth of books from the State. One hundred and sixty nine books were sent to us, which in addition to a donation from "friends in Berkley," and some of our public spirited citizens, not forgetting our Repre- sentative in Washington, who kindly remembered us, as usual, making the whole number in the Library two hundred and thirty volumes. It is to be hoped that many of our towns people will contribute freely to so good an object, and the board respectfully, and urgently solicit any books that will tend to promote the welfare of our young people. Of the twenty five dollars appro- priated, $21.83 was expended in fitting up a room, prin- ting cards, catalogues. furnishing covers, &c. The coming year the whole appropriation can be expended for books. Respectfully submitted,

The bills for the remaider of the year have not been sent in as yet, but on the basis of past years should be $195.00
For expenditures of the school fund we refer you to the treasurers report.
NON-ATTENDANCE.
This is getting to be a very serious evil in our schools, and something should be done by parents to help the committee and teachers in their efforts to abate the trouble.
Irregular attendance of pupils not only hinders the pupils individual advance but hampers the teacher by breaking up classes and making a larger number necessary, of which there are too many already. Hoping to find a cordial co-operation of parents in this matter in the future we pass to.
REPAIRS OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The school-house at Berkley Bridge has been painted and shingled on one side. The school building at the Common has been shingled on both sides ; new stsps have been built and a ventilator put in.
-
46
ANNUAL REPORT
At Myricks the new seats have been put in and a large number of panes of glass set. The walls and ceilings of all the school buildings have been whitened by the application of two coats of white wash, much improving the appearance of the rooms.
For the coming year :
The school-house at No. 5 needs shingling and painting. The roof leaks badly and should be shingled at once.
The school building at No. 6 needs painting the ensuing year.
At No. 4 the roof on one side is in bad shape and a part of one side, at least, needs shingling.
The steps at Nos. 3 and 5 have been repaired until they are no longer worth it and should be replaced by new ones, as they are positively dangerous.
The building at Myricks now occupied by the school is in a bad condition and some action should be taken in regard to it. It will cost a large sum to repair it and the opinion of the committee is, that it is not worth putting in thorough repair for the use of the small portion of it which we occupy.
SCHOOL VISITORS.
The scanty list of visitors in our registers shows a lack of interest in the schools, which your committee and every thinking citizen must deplore.
The education of our children is of the first importance. It is not enough to appropriate money and choose three citi- zens of your town to expend it as they see fit. Visit the schools! Help the members of your school boards by com- ments and suggestions; encourage the scholars by questions on their studies.
