Article 51. To see if the town will vote to appropriate the sum of one thousand one hundred twelve dollars and fifty cents ($1,112.50) to permit the School Committee to give "instruction in the use of English for adults unable to speak, read or write the same, and in the fundamental principles of government and other subjects adapted to fit for American citizenship," in accordance with the pro- visions of Section 9 and 10 in Chapter 69 of the General Laws and Acts in amendment thereof and in addition thereto.
We recommend that the sum of $1,000 be appropriated for the purpose of this article.
Article 52. To see if the town will vote to transfer from Excess and Deficiency the sum of four thousand sixty-two dollars and two cents ($4,062.02), overdrawn appropriations, and carried forward to 1924 by authority of the Department of Corporations and Taxa- tion, Division of Accounts.

We recommend that the town transfer from Excess and Defi- ciency the sum of $4,062.02 and said fund credited to current revenue for the year 1924.
Article 53. To see if the town will vote to appropriate the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the settlement of the petitions brought by Moorfield Storey, et als, trustees of the Maria L. Phil- lips estate, for the assessment of damages caused by the taking of certain easements in land belonging to the petitioners, in connection with the building of the eastern intercepting sewer, as recommended by the Water and Sewerage Board.
The sum asked for in this article is considerably less than the original petition. Agreement has been reached to settle for this amount, which, in the opinion of the Town Counsel, is advisable, and we recommend that the sum of $1,000 be appropriated for the pur- pose as set forth in this article.
Article 54. To see if the town will vote to place a fire alarm box on Puritan road near the Catholic Club, and appropriate money for the same, as petitioned for by C. H. Martin, et als.
We recommend that the sum of $200 be appropriated to be ex- pended by the Board of Fire Engineers for the purpose set forth in this article.

TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 3]
Article 55. To see if the town will vote to appropriate money to transport the school children living in the vicinity of Foster Pond district, so called, to the Machon School, as petitioned for by Bertha E. Day, et als.
The purpose of this article is to transport by bus the younger children in this district attending the Machon School. In inclement weather the roads are practically impassable for small children, due to no fault of the town, as they are private ways. We feel that some assistance should be given them in this matter.
The School Department have in their budget the sum of $800 for transportation requirements, a part of which should be used for the purpose of this article.
We recommend that this article be referred to the School Com- mittee.
Article 56. To see if the town will vote to appropriate the sum of twelve hundred dollars ($1,200) for the construction and enclosing of double tennis courts on Abbott Park, as petitioned for by Walter L. Quinlan, et als.
This article, together with Articles 57 and 58, are the same as were placed on the Australian Ballot last year and were rejected by a substantial majority. Considering the decisive opinion as ex- pressed by the citizens of the town in the vote last year, we rec- ommend that action on this article be indefinitely postponed.
Article 57. To see if the town will vote to appropriate the sum of twelve hundred dollars ($1,200) for the purchase and installation of playground equipment, the same to be expended under the joint supervision of the Park Commissioners and the School Committee, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 217, Section 1, of the General Laws, as petitioned for by Walter L. Quinlan, et als.
We recommend that action on this article be indefinitely post- poned.
Article 58. To see if the town will vote to appropriate the sum of two thousand dollars ($2,000) for the purchase and installation of portable bleachers for Jackson and Phillips parks, as petitioned for by Harold F. Dow, et als.
We recommend that action on this article be indefinitely post- poned.
Article 60. To see if the town will vote to appropriate the sum of one thousand dollars ($1,000) for the celebration of the Fourth of July, and to appoint a committee, consisting of the Park Commis- sioners and four other citizens, to have charge of the celebration, as petitioned for by Alfred F. Frazier, et als.
We recommend that the sum of $500 be appropriated for the pur- pose of this article.

A supplementary report on Article 34 was read by Benjamin B. Blanchard, Chairman of the Finance Committee.
SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT
Article 34. To see if the town will vote to build sewers in Aspen road, Arbutus road, Sargent road, Prospect avenue, Ocean View road, Millett road, Wyman road and Forest avenue, for a distance of about six thousand feet (6,000'), and appropriate money for the same, as petitioned for by James C. Soutter, et als.
From the report of the Board of Health, it is evident that this section of the town is badly in need of sewers: and that a start must be made in the near future.
This will involve a large expenditure of money and at present no comprehensive plan is ready upon which definite estimates can be submitted.
We recommend that a study be made of this section as a whole by the Water and Sewerage Board and Town Engineer and that plans and estimates be prepared. Additional conferences with the Sewer and Water Board and Board of Health develop that partial relief, to the extent of available funds, should be undertaken this year. We further recommend that a sewer be laid from the sewer terminal on Millett road, through Millett road, to and through Ocean View road and along Sargent road; and that the sum of $9,000 be appropriated for the same, $8,500 of which to be raised by notes or bonds of the town and $500 to be taken from the Sewer Emergency Fund.
