REMARKS
A great deal was done the past year in eliminating bad mud holes in different parts of the town, either by using stone or gravel, however, there is still much to be done in this line, as many of the roads lie in a clayey or swampy section where drain- age is poor. These roads invariably break up badly in spring. Many of the gravel banks in town are run out or have so much large stone that one-half the output of the bank cannot be used, making the cost of gravel from these banks very high. Most of the gravel used this season had to be hauled from North Rutland, West Rutland or Holden. These long hauls add ma- terially to the cost of the gravel. Many of the roads are too narrow and more of an effort should be made when scraping to widen them. In many cases telephone poles interfere with this work.

Total number of weeks for Inmates was 1027 2-7 for Boarders 113 1-7.
There were no inmates from these towns: Hubbardston, Holland, Paxton, Princeton and Auburn.
100
These figures show a deficit of $1110.04 which is more than taken care of by Supplies, Coal, Provisions and Fodder, which will be paid for by the new Association as it is used.
The Association voted to buy the Poor Farm and other property from the Town of Charlton, after the town through its committee had several meetings. As soon as the town of Charlton will have the deed ready the Association will take over the property.
These towns have been admitted since the last report :
Warren. West Boylston, West Brookfield, Berlin, New Braintree and Dana.
