The cost per week for each inmate at our almshouse during the past year has been $1.77. At the beginning of the year we instructed the Superintendent not to plan any more farming than he could carry on himself, other than in the haying season, as most of the land is either cobble knolls or low marshy soil, but to raise a supply for home consumption without extra expense for labor. He has complied with our request, and the result is very satisfactory, receiving second premium at the Middlesex North Agricultural Fair for best display of vegetables.
The buildings and surroundings are kept in good order, both inside and out, and we have as fine a location and good set of buildings as any town in the state. Although not built for an almshouse, yet it is equipped with all modern improve- ments. Visitors are always cordially welcomed.
The Town Treasurer has received from the state two hundred twenty-six dollars and ten cents ($226.10) on account of inmates aided from almshouse appropriation last year and the present; but it is not included in this year's receipts.
There are now twelve inmates, with an average of eleven for the year.

Report of the Road Commissioners
Your Road Commissioners have the honor of submitting the following report of their doings for the year now just closing :
The demands made on your Commissioners for more and better road service by numerous taxpayers from all parts of the town increase every year, especially so from the property holders and tenants of the houses of our congested centres, who demand better sidewalks and better side-gutters for drain- ing during heavy storms in order that the many hundreds of school children who attend our public schools and, just as im- portant, that the hundreds of those who are obliged to labor in our manufactories can go to their several duties without fear of being forced to wade through mud and water and work all day with damp feet, which brings on severe colds and ill- health.
Your Commissioners recognize the justice of these needs, and are doing all in their power to remedy the conditions as fast as possible; but you must know our money allowance is limited, and as the general highways must be kept in good and safe condition for travel, and having about ninety-two (92) miles to care for, very little is left for this most important work. We have done much though in this line, having bought and spread on sidewalks in parts of the town more than one hundred and fifty (150) tons of crushed stone, and still even this is but a drop in the bucket as to the amount that must be done in the near future to make our sidewalks good and satis- factory in all respects to other conditions of our town.
We have built some new sidewalks this past year in differ- ent parts of the town, especially putting in fair condition the
79
walks in that part of North Chelmsford at what is called the line; also have built on the north-east side of main road between North Chelmsford and Middlesex village, from the line up to the gateway of Riverside Cemetery, a good substan- tial sidewalk. This walk will be continued from said gateway to Highland Avenue line this coming year. We consider this piece of sidewalk a long-needed one, as our line neighbors were obliged to pick their way along the roadway the best they could through all seasons of the year.
Take it all in all, your Road Commissioners feel as though no better kept streets and sidewalks can be found in any town in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of the character of our town than those within the village limits of Chelmsford at the present time. .
Our general road work has been about the same as last year. The road from Golden Cove to the Poor Farm cost five hundred and twenty-four ($524) dollars ; repairing and grading road and setting crossing flagging from Small's store to level grade at top of hill, near Gay Street, a little over four hundred ($400) dollars ; laying crossing flagging and grading at Chelmsford Centre, near the business centre, cost one hundred and forty-two ($142) dollars.
