Report and Recommendations of the Selectmen of the Town
of Acton for the Year of 1910 and 1911.
We have attended to the business of our office to the best of our judgment.
The town hall has been put in a sanitary condition to the approval of the state inspector.
Closets and sinks were put in both the ladies' and gents' rooms, also pump and sink in lower hall. making it much easier than bringing water from town pump.
The library has also been furnished with metalic vaults and drawers for commercial papers.
Have straightened out the account with the moth department of the state, thereby gaining for the town between six and seven hundred dollars.
We would respectfully recommend that the town take action to have every officer meet in joint session at least twice a year and by so doing help promote the town's interest.
That the town demand that bills from whatever source be so itemized, that the party signing order may know the full detail before order for payment be made, so that every voter of the town may know cost of each outlay.
That selectmen be elected for three years same as other boards.
That the town could be better served by a superintendent of streets, with full power under the direction of selectmen. than by the present system.
ASAPH MERRIAM. JAMES B. TUTTLE.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
To the Citizens of Acton :
I submit my first report as tree warden.
The town one year ago raised $400.00 for the extermina- tion of the elm leaf beetle, to be expended by the tree warden, which I have done as follows. Finding it necessary to have a power sprayer, and not having enough money to buy one, I built one on my wagon at the following cost :

If the town wishes to protect all of the elm trees in the limits of the highways from the ravages of the elm leaf beetle. There should be at least $400.00 placed at the disposal of the tree warden.

OVERSEERS OF POOR.
To the Citizens of Acton :
The report of the overseers of the poor for the year ending February 1, 1911, is herewith submitted :
The request for outside aid from this department during the year has been light and the figures show a gratifying decrease in expenses.
We are forbidden by law this year to print names of persons aided, which accounts for omission of same.
The farm property and stock have been maintained at the usual high standard.
A new ice house has been built to replace the one in the carriage house cellar. which failed to furnish ice when most needed. The new one was substantially built at a reasonable expense, the lumber being obtained on the farm.
Two inmates have remained at the almshouse during- the year. Their welfare has been considered and they have been maintained in reasonable comfort.
The farm has paid all expenses and a good balance remains to its credit, enough to pay for the extra or per- manent improvements and still be on the right side.
We feel that a word of commendation should here be spoken of the warden and matron, Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Callan, whose energetic and faithful work has largely contributed to the good results.

The service of the library has gone on during the past year as usual with the regular increase in accessions and a moderate gain in the patronage. The new shelves installed between the alcoves have proved a great convenience.
We have been compelled to decline some donations because of their ultra socialistic tendencies. (One of these books was to advertise a stock swindle.) We are not of those who regard the possession of property honestly obtained, a erime or an injury to the community at large.
We believe that there is little difference between politi- cal parlor or practical socialism. They are alike in this, that
83
the earnings and savings of the industrious and prudent are to be shared by the spendthrift and the idler.
We have received a large number of volumes of town and city vital records of this state giving births, marriages and deaths from the first settlement to the year 1850.
The State practically pays for the printing and binding so that the only expense to the town will be the copying and arranging of the lists which must be done in the manner required by the commissioner of public records and the board of free public library commissioners, acting jointly, and we have valuable assistance from the officers of the New Eng- land Historic Genealogical Society who furnish forms and stationery.
We are glad that the attention of the voters of the town at their annual meeting will be asked that an article be in- serted in the warrant so they may take such action as they think proper.
