REPORT OF TOWN ENGINEER
To the Board of Selectmen- -
Gentlemen :
The work done in the office of the Town Engineer during the year 1931 consisted of establishing lines and and grades for new granolithic sidewalks, staking out new street lines and setting some stone bounds for same.
Various departments of the Town have called on us for some work, and we have complied with their re- quests in every case.
We have made surveys, plans and staked out lots in Vine Hill Cemetery for the Cemetery Commissioners and furnished lines and grades for the School Depart- ment in connection with its studies for an addition to the Junior High School.
We have made two detail plans and estimates for Parking Places for the Planning Board, one at Town Brook at the Morton Grain Mill, and another on School Street on the easterly side. Also, several plans and surveys for proposed new street layouts.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR E. BLACKMER,
Town Engineer.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The School Committee found it necessary to limit expenditures this year more than ever before to keep within the amount appropriated by the town, which was $4,000 less than we requested when we presented our budget. To accomplish this, we have held up all repair work which could possibly be postponed. By careful planning we were able to close the fiscal year with a bal- ance of $24.00.
The major repairs and improvements for the past year are as follows :
Fence, Mt. Pleasant School
$158.00
Grading and filling in, Mt. Pleasant School
421.29
Water pump, etc., Manomet School 186.00

Last spring, during a driving northeast rainstorm, the rear wall of the Junior High School building leaked so badly that some of the floors were flooded, and it was necessary to suspend classes. At the Hedge School the situation was not as serious, but the water did leak in and stained all the walls on the east side of the new section of the building. In order to properly repair these walls and make them waterproof, it was necessary to drill out all the old mortar around the bricks and put in new, after this a waterproofing solution was put over the entire areas. The committee feels that this work has been done in a very thorough manner, and we have a bond which protects us from such recurrence for five years.
