The whole number of street lamps is 71.


At the last annual meeting, 1885, a deficiency of about $5000, made up of bills allowed, note and interest due and remaining un- paid, was reported to the town. At that meeting $2500 was added to the usual appropriation for the coming year to meet that deficiency. The whole amount was not all provided for. During the past year the selectmen have been called upon to build Ham- matt street, Newmarchi street, and the reservoir on the South common, the cost of which was about $2700, for which there was no appropriation made. Beside, it has cost more than usual to keep the roads in repair, in consequence of the heavy rains in summer which washed them badly. A number of small bridges have been built over and repaired during the year.


It will be seen by the report that the amount of bills allowed and remaining unpaid at the present time is $2539 84. There is also principal on town notes due and unpaid of $2800, and unpaid interest now due of $560, making about $5900 owing by the town which should be provided for at once. The selectmen submit the following estimate of money needed to meet the expenses of the town the ensuing year and pay what is already due, viz :


For schools, $7500 ; for highways, $5000 ; for current expenses $11000 ; and for the deficiency of the past two years, $4000.


The whole number of inmates at the farm the past year was 21, the average number 9 1-2, the present number 16.
