The increase in the amount appropriated for current ex penses at the last annual town meeting has enabled the treasurer to pay the bills and notes that were due and remaining unpaid, and a co to meet the expenses of the town for the current year. The permanent debt of the town has been reduced the past year obout /2,000.00 Last year $1,000 00 was voted to be raised for the building of a new engine house. The work has been commenced, and the land and stone work for the foundation has been paid for, as will be seen by the report, but no part of the contract for the house is yet paid, it still remaining unfinished. The expense for roads and bridges during the past year has been larger than usual. The road leading to Timber hill has been built at an expense of $523.72, for which $500.00 was appropriated, and the road leading from No. Main St. to Manning St. is nearly finished. The amount appropriated for that road was $700.00, which amount has already been paid and it will probably require $350.00 to finish it. The amount (about $1300.00) paid for the repair of bridges. caused mostly by the freshets of the preceeding winter was more than was anticipated, but, we are confident that the thorough manner in which the work has been done, will meet the approval of the public.
In building the ice house at the town's farm the past summer, the cost was somewhat increased, by removing all the dairy work into it from the main house, which has proved a great convenience.
The hay barn at the farm is in need of repairs. The sills are de- cayed and need renewing, and some changes in the interior are nec- essary to make it more convenient. An article in the warrant for this year will call the attention of the town to the subject.
The whole rumber inmates at the farm the year past was 19. . the average number 15 1-2, the present number 13. The cost for sup
28
port was $1.43 each per week.
'§ The selectmen submit the following estimate of money needed to meet the ordinary expenses of the town for the en ,uing year. For schools, $7500 ; for highways, $5000 ; for current expense ‹, $11000. Respectfully submitted.
