Henry H. Rogers Trust Fund. High School Fund.
In 1918 one of the most important matters and benefits the town has received was the allowance to the town from the heirs and children of the late Henry H. Rogers, the town's greatest benefactor, who gave the town our High School, the sum of Four Hundred and Seventy-nine Thousand (479,000) dollars, the interest from which will aggregate twenty-five thousand (25,000) dollars annually for the support of the High School.
The said interest is forwarded to the Town Treasurer, by the Farmers Loan and Trust Co., of New York, who have charge of the Trust Fund, the accounts to be kept separate from all other town accounts by the Town Treasurer, and all accounts before payment approved by School Committee and the Board of Selectmen. .

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The first meeting of the Board of Selectmen and Over- seers of the Poor was held February 16, 1920, and organized with the choice of John I. Bryant as chairman and Isaac N. Babbitt as clerk. Miss Lillian H. Simas was chosen as secretary of the Board of Overseers of the Poor.
Last year, we hired Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in anticipation of taxes for the revenue of the coming year. This year, we find it necessary because of the increased growth of the town and the coming up of many new prob- lems that we have to ask for Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,- 000.00) in anticipation of taxes for the coming year.
As authorized by vote of the town to sell the old High School to be torn down, it was sold at public auction and has since been removed.
In the north end of the town, the following new streets have been laid out and accepted: Elm street, east end, from Green to Adams street, and graded; Newberry avenue, from North Main street to the Acushnet river; Veranda avenue, from North Main street, to the Acushnet river; Jesse street, from North Main street to the Alden road, or Black road, so-called. At the special Town Meeting held August 23, 1920, the following streets were laid out and accepted, also: Winsor, Morgan and Dover streets, from Main to Sycamore streets. These streets were laid out under what is known as "New Construction" and Twenty Thousand Dol- lars ($20,000.00) was hired for ten (10) years, two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) to be paid per year until the final pay- ment is made.
Under 'New Construction,' water mains and hydrants were placed in Sycamore street, Winsor, Morgan and Dover streets, as well as granolithic sidewalks and street lights.
In the coming Town Meeting we are asking for an appro- priation of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) for five (5) years so that we may be able to finish the macadamizing and tarring of these streets, thereby putting them all in good passable condition for some years to come.

As voted at the last annual Town Meeting, an appropria- tion of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00) for a new barn was made. This has been carried out and the old barn has been torn down and the Town Farm looks much better with the added improvements than it has for many years.
An addition of three rooms, costing Thirty Thousand Dol- lars ($30,000.00) was made to the "Job C. Tripp" School at the corner of Green and Bridge streets. The grounds have been graded and the whole surroundings are much improved in appearance.
As reported in the last annual Town Meeting, the Town Hall was sadly in need of repair. During the past year, the door, sashes and window frames of the building have all been painted and the slate on the roof has been repaired. The copper trimmings which had fallen off the tower have been replaced and put in good condition, but there are still many repairs to be made. In the heating plant, which has been in service for twenty-five years, the piping is filling up and wearing out, and there are many other repairs which should be made as soon as possible.
At the last special Town Meeting, the Selectmen were in- structed to rent the Hall for moving pictures to see if it would be a success in the town. At present, we are unable to re- port as to the success of the project.
The Selectmen have made a contract with E. G. Spooner to take care of the fire apparatus at his garage and have had the fire alarm system for the town installed there in a fire- proof building. There has also been added to the Fire De- partment a tractor, to haul the hook and ladder truck to fires, and with a Chemical Tank, attached to the Tractor, makes a much needed improvement.
