The bridge at Byron Hone's mill, which was in a very decayed and unsafe condition has been replaced by a new one, with much larger stringers than before, making it a firm and substantial bridge.


Hawkes' Hill has been put in excellent condition the past season, with new railings on the sides, and a few trees removed ; if a few more could be cut down it would benefit the hill by letting in the sun to dry the mud and frost, for while we enjoy the shade, we much more admire the bright sunshine.


"The Row," so called, under the present management, has been put in very fair condition, compared to what it has been in former years ; we hope to see the good work continue.


The hill in Cliftondale has been much improved the past year, though there is room for more improvement ; every little helps and another cut would be very satisfactory to the residents of the hill.


The roads throughout the town in general are in a fair condition, although they need constant repairs and looking after to keep them so.

ROAD COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.


There have been quite a number of streets accepted the last few years, and they all help to increase the expenses, all need more or less looking after, so if you wish to keep up our name of having the best roads there are in the country, you must keep up the appropriation. One sure symbol of success is good roads, (give us good roads) and if you wish to curtail, don't do so on the roads.


In view of the expenses of the past year and of the needed improvements of the next, we would recommend the appro- priation of $4,000 for the expenses of the current year.


We would also recommend the appropriation of $500 extra for sidewalks.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


AT the Annual March Town Meeting the sum of five hun- dred and fifty dollars was appropriated to extend our water pipes in Felton street and Park avenue.


. At another Town meeting called Oct. 9, the sum of ten thousand and five hundred dollars was appropriated to further extend our water pipes through certain streets in Cliftondale and the centre of the Town.


The Water Commissioners have attended to this duty, and so far as the lateness of the season would allow, the pipes have been laid ; leaving certain streets in Pleasant hills and on Baker's hill to be laid early in the spring.


Previous to this season all our water pipes have been ce- ment lined, but owing to the difficulty of obtaining such pipes so late in the season, it was decided to lay the pipes in Adams' avenue, Cliftondale avenue and High street, of cast iron, which was done. All the pipes laid in Columbus ave- nue and a portion of Emory street were laid of cast iron for the same reason.


The pipes laid in Felton street were purchased of the Town of Melrose, and laid by the City of Lynn, but with this exception, all our water pipes have been laid this season by Messrs. Goodhue & Birnie, of Springfield, at substantially the same prices as they received in 1887.

FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.


TRUSTEES' REPORT.


As will be seen by reference to the Librarian's report, the popular interest in our Public Library, as shown by the contin- ued increase in the yearly circulation, is unabated.


We regret, however, that, owing to the small amount re- ceived from the Dog Tax, during the past year, the number of volumes added was considerable less than in the previous year, and we feel confident, that, had as large an increase been made it would have resulted in a much more extended use of the books.


In making the addition, it has been the aim of the Trustees and the Book Committee, to pursue the same policy as in the past, and, while furnishing a good proportion of fiction, at the same time to add a sufficient amount of standard works to make the growth of our Library as nearly uniform as pos- sible in the different departments of literature.


As the circulation grows larger, the calls for new reading matter is constantly increasing, and, in order that it may be supplied it is imperative that larger additions be made to the Library in the future, than during the past year, and we earnestly recommend that the sum of $250, in addition to the amount which will be received from the Dog Tax, be ap- propriated for the purchase of new books, during the coming year.


We wish to take this opportunity, and means, to thank all friends who have contributed books and magazines during the past year, and to the local press for publishing lists of additions made to the Library.

CONSTABLE'S REPORT.


The whole number of arrests made during the year was twenty-three. Of this number six were for drunkenness, three, assault and battery ; one for keeping unlicensed dog; one for unlawful use of weapon; one for cruelty to dumb animals; one for stubbornness ; two for larceny ; one surrendered by his bondsman; two, keeping disorderly house; two, illegal liquor selling; one, non-support of family ; two, malicious mischief. Search warrants served during the year were four ; of this number liquor was found in three places.


CHARLES F. CLARK, Constable.


REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.


The action of the town at its annual meeting in relation to the election of a Board of Health was found to be illegal; the names not being placed on the ballot, as provided for by the statutes. As in the absence of legal election, the selectmen are by law required to act as a Board of Health, your board considered it would be the desire of the citizens that they so act rather than call a special meeting for another election and thus cause the town expense.


The Board organized with Mr. Edward Brewer, chairman ; Mr. Charles Florence, secretary, and M. V. Putnam ap- pointed clerk.


The number of contagious diseases reported during the year are as follows: Diphtheria, 16; scarlet fever, 24; typhoid, 1; measles, 4.


Many complaints being made to the Board regarding the keeping of swine in the town, the Board on investigation found that quite a number of the citizens and others were not only. making a business of keeping swine, but were bringing swill from the surrounding cities and towns, carting it through our streets, creating thereby a dangerous and obnoxious nuisance. So serious had this become, your Board found it necessary to take very stringent measures, and we are pleased to report that those measures proved effective, and the town, now free from this nuisance, we be- lieve can be kept so by the enforcement of our by-laws.


We have also been called upon to abate numbers of other nuisances, which we have dealt with as impartially and fairly as possible.


Respectfully submitted,


EDWARD BREWER, CHARLES FLORENCE, ARTHUR B. SMITH,


Board of Health.
