"The Board of Selectmen, acting under the power con- ferred upon it by Section 31 of Chapter 44 of the General Laws of Massachusetts hereby declare that an extreme em- ergency exists involving the health and safety of its citi- zens as a result of the Board of Public Welfare being with- out any funds or means of carrying on its Department until the end of the year.
"By virtue of Section 31 aforesaid, said Board of Pub- lic Welfare is hereby authorized to expend such sums as may be absolutely essential to the maintenance of its De- partment for the remainder of the year."
In accordance therewith the Board of Public Welfare was al- lowed to expend $4,681.55 in excess of the appropriation and at the close of the year the Board of Assessors was notified concerning this overdraft in accordance with the instructions from the Director of Accounts and same is to be raised in the taxes of 1937.
The following bills were reported as unpaid at the close of the year:

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
In reviewing the school year of 1936, we find that the principal topic of interest both to the committee and to the townspeople is the addition to the High School.
In the first place we take this opportunity to make clear what has been somewhat misunderstood. The work of building and equip- ping the new school has not been that of the school committee. In the spring of 1935, the moderator, by vote of the town meeting, ap- pointed a special committee for that purpose. While we met with them once or twice in the summer of 1935, we have had little contact with them since that time. They have had the responsibility, and they deserve the credit for the excellent work that has been done.
