ROLL OF HONOR
The pupils named below were neither absent nor tardy for the number of terms specified :
CENTER SCHOOL. One term: Thomas Bates, Mary B. Dick" son, Marion Hunt, Harry Gilbert, Edna Hanlon, Marguerite Hanlon, Daniel Murphy, Daniel Gleason, Harold Dickson, Thomas Welch, Grace Smith, Annie Welch, Edith Cannon, Charlotte H. Drury, Rollin Cannon, Ralph Hammond, Nora Hanlon, William Hanlon, John Hitchings, Willie Murphy. Fred Rice, Lillian Upham, Myron Hunt, Eugene Hansen, Esther Wheeler
Two terms: Stephen Manning, Joseph Murphy, George Put- nam, Ruth Forbush, Earl Griffin, Linda Hanff, Frank Maynard, Fannie Miles, Nellie Viner, Evelyn Fennell, Evelyn Crosby' John Dickson, Myrna Miles, Nora Gleason, Lewis F. Drury, Wallace C. Forbush, Georgia L. Rich, W innie G. Rich.
Three terms : Merrill Forbush, Louise Maynard.
NORTH SCOOL. One term : Oliver Davis, John Moulton, Edith Strong, Mable Goodwin, Seldon Hill.
WEST SCHOOL. One Term : Charles Taylor, Georgiana Tay- lor, Inez Taylor, Hazel Taylor, Herbert Bigelow, Edith Hadley, Maud Hadley. (Other terms not reported.)
After the Christmas vacation we consolidated the first primary. second primary and intermediate schools into two schools, doing away with the second primary, and by so doing we were enabeled to save the expense of maintaining one school, and to move the high school back into its old quarters. This we were anxious to do, as we found that the hall the high school had been using was very unfit for school purposes, as the light was poor and was affect- ing the eyes of some of the pupils. Saving a little by this arrange. ment we were able to add another week to the school year, making thirty-three weeks.
21
We would respectfully call attention to the cost of transporting pupils to and from our schools, and the cost of maintaining the center school building, brought about by the consolidation of our schools into three buildings. These two items alone take over one- half of the town appropriation for schools. If the citizens desire to maintain the lower grades thirty-four weeks it will require an additional appropriation of $200, or $4,200 in all.

REPORT OF THE
SUPT. OF WATER DEPARTMENT
By vote of the town the Water Commissioners are instructed to extend its water system where ten per cent. income is guaranteed. Acting under these instructions there has been laid fully one mile of pipe (mostly inch pipe) during the year. From Daniel Nihins to Morris Menges, to supply his new house; from the main near W . H. Bartlett's to W. C. Temple's, supplying four patrons on this line ; from M. J. Moriarty's to Michael Loughman's, supplying four pa- trons on that line; from the house of John Stone, (or Derouches,) to his new house, and from the main opposite Public Building to Hose House. The cost of all these extensions being $1,050, with a guaranteed income of $120 per year, or nearly twelve per cent. on cost. There are several houses and stables already on these lines that are not connected, which doubtless will be in the near future, which will materially increase the water rentals. Two other patrons have also been added, Wm. J. Prescott and J. S. Huntress, making twelve additions during the ycar. In all we have eighty patrons outside the State Sanitorium.
The income exceeds that of any former year by over $200. There has been an agreement between the Trustees of the State Sanitorium and Water Commissioners that a contract shall be made Oct. 1, 1906, when the old contract expires, for $1,600 per year, an increase of $600. This increase together with the increase of water rentals from other patrons, will put the Water System on a good paying basis, and will without doubt be able to take care of the annual notes when they become due, which the town has to pay on the water loan.

The service during the year has been all that could be desired, the system affording an abundance of pure water for all uses. There was fear expressed by some of our citizens that when the town of Holden began to take water from the lake, that our supply might be in danger of being lessened, but there does not appear to be any decrease in the water level of the lake, and we are glad to have our neighboring town receive the benefits of the pure water of Muschopauge lake, which the town of Rutland values so highly.
