It has been the aim of your Selectmen that the different de- partments should not exceed the appropriations, and we are glad to find that the expenses have been kept within, or very near the appropriations.
The Highway Surveyor's Report shows a small balance unex- pended, while in the Special Work on Highways, in regrading Pound Hill. the small sum of $10.21 has been expended in excess of the Town appropriation and the allotments from the State. 'Perhaps it would be well to say in this connection, that a contract was made with Tayler & Tylee to do the grading on Pound Hill for $1,600.00, this being considerably less than the estimated cost by the State Highway Commission. The work was done un- der the direction of the State Engineer and approved by the High- way Commission. The railing was not included in the contract, but was done by the Town. This improvement speaks for itself. and its benefits are already appreciated by those who have occasion to travel over the road. It has withstood the first Winter without the accumulation of ice which has made the road dangerous in pre- vious years, and has sustained no injury from thaws and heavy rains which have each year greatly damaged the road and occa- sioned a large expenditure of money to make repairs, which in the nature of the road, could only be temporary. The grade has been made 73 per cent. The former grade in places was 10 per cent. On account of the liability of the Town to damages from abutters in consequence of changing the grade, the property owners sigeed a release from claims of damage. We would recommend, however,
23
that the Town appropriate a sum to slope the bank on the North side of the road, as called for by an Article contained in the War- rant for the Annual Meeting March 30 inst., as the abutters have so generously released the Town from damage.
At the commencement of the year the Town had two cases of Small Pox on its hands, one of the cases belonging to the State and the other to the Town of Barre. A settlement of the cases was made with each party, which leaves only about $135 to be borne by the Town, and the furnishings which the Town has in its keeping is nearly equal in value to this amount.

REPORT OF THE
SUPT. OF WATER DEPARTMENT.
The Water System has worked quite satisfactorily during the year. No accident of any great importance has occurred. A few leaks on the extension on Maple Avenue and one at the connection with the West end of the main pipe, opposite the public building. These were easily repaired at no great expense.
Four patrons have been added, which will increase the rental about $50.00 the coming year.
The expense of maintainance has not been excessive, notwith- standing the high cost of fuel. We were fortunate in purchasing coal at reasonable rates, not paying over $7.10 per ton, delivered at Muchopauge station, freight prepaid.
The balance of $234.77 in favor of the Water Department is over $100.00 in excess of last year.
With steadily increasing revenue, we may feel assured that the Water System will be one of the best investments the Town ever entered into.
