We feel that much progress has been made during the year and mention below only a few of the things that have been accomplished.
Through the efforts of a member of the Board, three band concerts on the park were secured from the Metropolitan Park Commission, without cost to the Town.
In addition to the work done by the Bay State Street Railway last year, we succeeded in having this Company place under ground all feed wires from Albion to Crescent street, so that now
62
there are no street railway wires, other than trolley wires, from Water to Crescent street.
We secured the promise of $1,000 from the Massachusetts Highway Commission for rebuilding of Lowell street on condi- tion that the Town spend a like amount.
The "Square" has been rebuilt, with a Tarvia road, new lighting, new sidewalks, improvements around the Town Hall; and all signs have been removed from the Main street sidewalks.
We have adopted Compensation Insurance for the employees of the Highway Department.
