STATE HIGHWAY.
Nothing was given our Town this year in the allotment by the Commission. but it is confidently hoped that a section
-21-
will be allotted us in 1907. The section built in 1905 from Hotel Pilgrim northerly to the foot of the hill near Cliff street has proven very unsatisfactory. The Chairman of the Highway Commission has viewed it and considers that repairs may be necessary this coming spring. The shoulder of this road between the macadam and the car track was left in bad condition by the contractor and your Board made a contract with the Highway Commission to macadamize what was considered necessary at a cost of $246.48. This has been done and' the amount reimbursed by the State. The land damage and legal expense to the Town on account of the building of the above section of State Highway was $1,577.58.
STREET SPRINKLING.
The undrawn balance of 1905 was,
$252 78
Appropriation,
2,000 00
$2,252 78
Expenditures,
1,938 50
Undrawn,
$314 28
In view of the increased' call for street sprinkling, we recommend an appropriation of $3.000 for the coming year.
STREET LIGHTING.
Seven 25 candle power incandescent lights have been add- ed to the system during the year, four of them being on Standish avenue, between Alden and Samoset streets, one
-22-
on Oak street, one on Cherry street and one on Clyfton street.
There are now-
30I 25 candle power lights at $20, $6,020 00
3 32 candle power lights at $21, 63 00
7 2000 candle power lights at $125, 875 00
I 2000 candle power light at 85 00
$7,043 00
It would increase the efficiency of the lighting system if those discovering lights out would report them immediately to the Selectmen.

SIDEWALKS.
Very little new concrete walk has been laid this year. that on the southwesterly side of the Cornish school building be- ing the largest item.
Granite curb has been laid as follows :- 123 feet on How- land street, 284 feet on Chilton street and 160 feet on Water street,
Cement concrete curb was laid on Russell street, 212 feet, from the Registry of Deeds lot, inclusive, to Court street, and 188 feet on Whiting street in front of the Mt. Pleasant
-23-
schoolhouse lot. This makes an excellent curb but the cost has forbidden laying more.
Granite block paving for curb has been laid as follows :- 315 feet on Water street, 430 feet on Union street, 2530 feet on Court street, 65 feet on Whiting street, 450 feet on Murray street, 190 feet on Massasoit street and 300 feet on Mayflower street.
About 200 tons of crushed stone have been used on sidewalks on the above named streets, with very satis- factory results. The Murray street sidewalk and about 300 feet on Lothrop street have a foundation of soft coal ashes and top dressing of crushed stone, making a hard, dry and smooth walk in all kinds of weather. Part of the Court street sidewalk surfaced with crushed stone formerly had ashes for a surface. This type of sidewalk costs compara- tively little to build and as far as we can see is most satis- factory. Some difficulty is experienced in getting ashes in quantity.
The Town now has about 35 miles of sidewalks.

$6.130 0I The items of Town House vault and changes. $4.898.47, land damage and legal expense on account of State High- way on Warren avenue, $1,577.58. and land damage of $800 for the strip of land taken from the Gov. Bradford building lot on Town Square are responsible for this over- draft. Of the latter item $200 has been reimbursed by the County.
We recommend an appropriation of $7.500 for the com- ing year, and $6,130.01 to cover the overdraft.
The net expense of the old armory for this year was about $500: for the new armory the expense for the coming year will approximate $1,400, for janitor, light, fuel, tele- phone, etc., against which there will be a reimbursement by the State of probably $300 for rent of old armory for 1906. For this reason we recommend $1.000 more for contingent than we otherwise would.
SEWERS.
A six inch sewer has been laid from the alms house over private land to the foot of Pleasant street. 984 feet: 60 feet of 8" has been laid on High street. 210 feet of 6" in way be- tween Bartlett and High streets, 48 feet of 8" on Newfields street, 174 feet of 8" on Russell street, 270 feet of 6" off Oak street. 74 feet of 6" on Bartlett street. and 310 feet of 8" on Standish avenue.

Two snow ploughs have been purchased. There are now two located at the north end, two at the centre and one at the south end of the Town, with a view of clearing the side- walks at the earliest possible time after a storm.
The cost of the two ploughs, $150, was by an oversight charged to the road appropriation. The overdraft in that ap- propriation is therefore $150 less than stated, and the balance of snow appripriation is $150 less than stated.
At the last Town meeting an appropriation of $500 was made for the "cultivation, propagation and protection of shell fish." During the year the State Commissioners on Fisheries and Game have sent their biologists here several times to investigate the conditions of our shores and flats and we have co-operated with them to the extent of furnish- ing a man and boat. The most of the expenditure of $53 has been in this connection. They set a umber of spat col- lectors at different points and made a large number of ex- perimetal plantings on different flats. The collectors were either destroyed or displaced by the tide, and an examina- tion of the plantings after a few weeks showed that practic- ally every clam had disappeared or been killed. The ma- jority found had the shells bored, presumably by winkles or cockles.
Because of the result of their experiments and on advice of the Commissioners and pending the receipt of their formai report on our harbor we have refrained from spending more of the appropriation in planting clams. A piece was plowed up on Plmouth Beach near the "Dump" to make it favorable for a "set" to catch there, but it was probably too late in the season; at least, nothing resulted. The grants to Gideon F. Holmes and Nehemiah S. Holmes expired this fall and the former, which had been seeded by Mr. Holmes, are well stocked with small clams, but they have grown very slowly. A close season of one year has been put on these grants, and
-27-
it is planned to plow up a section of them at the first op- portuity, possibly transplanting some of the clams, although a recent inspection shows many sets of small clams on the shore between the Cordage Co., and Chiltonville and some on the beach. Nothing of the kind has been observed on the flats, however.

There has heretofore been one appropriation for all of the cemeteries of the Town, and we recommend that the appropriation for Oak Grove and Vine Hills Cemeteries be a separate item hereafter, so that the Superintendent of those two cemeteries may include in his report to the Town a financial statement.
The Selctmen wish to call the attention of the citizens to the desirability of establishing funds for the perpetual
-28-
care of their cemetery lots. There are now thirty such funds aggregating $8,895.68, which is on deposit in our two Savings Banks. Such a fund insures the care of the lot even though no member of the family be left. The income only is used, and that only to the extent necessary to pre- serve and care for the lot and its appurtenances. A general adoption of this plan would result in a few years in the materially improved appearance of our cemeteries.
PUBLIC SANITATION.
This is a subject that has been agitated at different times during past years, but without material result. There is urgent necessity that provisions of a sanitary nature for pub- lic convenience and comfort of our own people and the many visitors to our town should be made, and we recommend that some action be taken at the coming Town Meeting looking to this end.
