Mr. L. M. Hanff was appointed Treasurer pro-tempore by the Selectmen immediately after receiving notice of Mr Thurston's con- dition, and he has duly qualified to perform the duties of Treasurer temporarially.


Some of the departments have been able to keep within the ap- propriation, while others have been obliged to exceed the sum allot- ted. Among those is the snow department, which has cost the town more than double the amount of the appropriation. This is an ex- pense that no one can forecast, no more than that of the incidentals, which fortunately has been kept within the appropriation the past year. The financial showing on the first page of the Selectmen's report gives a balance against the town of $24,104.31, a slight de- crease from last year.


The Selectmen have secured from the Massachusetts State Highway Commission the granting of over 6,000 feet of State high- way, beginning at Holden line on the main Worcester road and end- ing at Pound Hill, at the junction of the Princeton road, near the watering tub. It is expected this road will be built this season.


20


In conclusion, the Selectmen would urge that no unnecessary appropriation be made for the coming year, that the tax rate may be reduced if possible, and our citizens be relieved somewhat of the burden which is at best very great for them to bear. Therefore, we would recommend the following appropriations :


For Schools,


$3,600 00

Poor,


500 00

REPORT OF THE SUPT. OF WATER DEPARTMENT.


There has been quite a large increase during the past year in revenue to the Water System. From patrons nearly $90, and due from the Sanitorium for increase about $200. A new contract will doubtless soon be made with the State whereby a large increase will be annually received.


Four new patrons have be added during the year, and many other patrons have made extensive additions which will materially increase the income to the Department. The financial showing for the year leaves only a small balance against the Water System for maintainance, and with anticipated increase, it may be confidently expected to become more than self-supporting the coming year.


Late in the year Mr. E. E. Lawrence resigned his position as engineer at the pumping station, and Mr. Edward Viner was ap- pointed in his place. It is due to Mr. Lawrenc to say that his long and faithful service has been duly appreciated by the Water Board.


Early in the year a large break in the water main near the Drumlin farm was repaired at considerable expense. Only a few minor leaks have appeared during the year until recently. There is reason to believe that a leak exists at the Sanitorium, although a diligent search has not as yet located it. The State is doing its best to find it, and will no doubt make everything satisfactory to the town.


The severe Winter has not seriously affected the Water Sys- tem. Only two or three service connections have frozen, and none of the water mains. The sixty-five patrons have been supplied with an abundance of pure water at reasonable cost during the year.
