SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
On account of the full and detailed report of the Board of Auditors, the Selectmen deem it unnecessary to make anything but a brief reference to the different appropriations which come under our disbursement. Our expenditures the past year have been larger than usual, and the rate of taxation much in excess of what the taxpayers desire. The cause of our high rate of taxation is attributable to the large and numerous special appro- priations, all of which were needed, and the improvements which they called for have been completed to the satisfaction of the board, and we trust also to the taxpayers and citizens. We are of the opinion that in making appropriations the Town should do so with consideration and examination, and not crowd so many improvements into one year, thereby making taxes high and burdensome, so that in the following year we shall feel too poor and penurious to do anything.
We believe in progress and improvements ; not in a do-noth- ing policy. Our people all feel a pride in the growth and pros- perity of the Town. No retrograde or stand-still attitude will be entertained by her citizens Our taxes are just what the voters make them, and large special appropriations mean large taxes. We believe the several departments of the Town are managed as honestly, judiciously and economically as any in the Commonwealth.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN
HIGHWAYS.
The highways have been under the full control of the highway surveyor, whose duties and powers have been fully set forth in previous reports of the Town. This account has been slightly overdrawn, accountable to the excessive rains and freshets in July, which necessitated a large outlay of money. Our roads are in good condition, and for the coming year will need about the usual appropriation of $3,000. The Selectmen have pur- chased a new road machine in accordance with a vote of the Town.
SIDEWALKS.
The sidewalks of the Town are in good repair, except in a few places which should receive the prompt attention of the Selectmen in the Spring. The most important of these are on Main street, between Foster street and the covered railroad bridge, where some parts will have to be redressed, the cobble stone drive-ways taken up, and good concrete substituted there- for. On Everett street, south of the cemetery street, the walk is completely worn out. The past year has been quite an expen- sive one, and the account has been slightly overdrawn. We have paid Calvin Claflin $227.43 for redressing and patching walks, and we have also rebuilt the entire walk on Pine street at a cost of about $160. These are among the most expensive items of this department. Our people should remember that we have a great many walks, some of which were constructed cheaply, and they are continually wearing out. We shall be called upon every year for a liberal appropriation to repair the same. We would recommend the usual appropriation.

REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
STREET LIGHTS.
At the annual meeting in April, it was voted to adopt the system of electric lighting for our streets, and the Selectmen were instructed to contract for the same, not to exceed forty arc lights. The board consulted the agents of the different electric light companies, with a view of ascertaining the best and most economical. After a thorough examination we adopted the Thomson-Houston system, and think we were fortunate in our selection, We contracted for forty arc lights, and located the same as equally as possible between the two villages, in accord- ance with the vote of the Town. We think the Southbridge Electric Co. is to be commended for the thorough and service- able establishment of its plant, the neat and tidy appearance of its straight and painted poles, all of which appear to be in keep. ing with the general appearance of our beautiful Town, and do not tend to mar and make unsightly, but rather present a business-like aspect, which demonstrates that we are abreast of the times. There are now forty-four arc lights established, four additional ones having been added by votes of the town since the original adoption. They are being maintained at a cost of $273.24 per month, or $3,278.88 per year. In addition to this we are maintaining seventy-three naptha lamps and one gas light. The cost for cleaning and lighting is $31.75 per month, or $38 1 per year, and there must also be reckoned the cost of naptha, which is about $30 per month, or $360 per year, and all the incidental expenses of repairs, painting, setting glass, storing oil, etc., which is no inconsiderable amount, so our people will see that the cost of our street lighting, though excellent, is very expensive, being about $4,500 per year under the present con- tract arrangement. Our contract with the Electric Co. is for one year with the privilege of three. The board are of the opinion that if any change in the contract is to be made the hour should be changed from 11 to 12 p. m. for extinguishing the lights. We would remind the voters that this department is

REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
costing more to-day than the repair of all our highways through- out the town. There is an unexpended balance of over $1,000. We would recommend an appropriation of $3,500 for the ensuing year, providing no additional lights are added.
BRIDGES.
The bridges of the Town are all in good repair, with one or two exceptions. We have the past year replanked the Central street bridge, and also put a new fence railing the whole length, painted and sanded the same at a total cost of about $230. Many of the smaller bridges have been repaired, replanked and repainted. The appropriation is slightly overdrawn, and we will need to increase our appropriation about $ 100 over last year.
CONTINGENT.
This account has been overdrawn. As has been stated in former reports, this is an account hard to estimate what the small expenditures will be. The most important items charge- able to this account for the past year are as follows : Counsel fees, police duty, surveying, making plans and reports, and set- tlement of suits for damages for injuries received. We have settled the suit of Mary J. McGrath, through her counsel, J. M. Cochran, by paying $125. Also with Louis Longway by paying him $25 for damages sustained in breaking through the West- ville bridge. We should think that an appropriation of $1,200 would be sufficient for the ensuing year.
69
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
RAILINGS.
The past year we have repaired and painted railings in many parts of the Town, the most important of which are as follows : In the Gulf woods we have built new railing for a long distance, constructing the same with long chestnut poles, tied to the wall with iron pins. This was a dangerous and hazardous place which had been long neglected, but is now made safe and secure. We have also built considerable new railing at Lensdale and below on the river bank. We would recommend the usual appropriation for the ensuing year.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS.
The Town, during the past year, has voted large sums of money for the improvements classed under this head, the largest we believe in the history of the Town, the most impor- tant of which the Selectmen desire to call attention in the fol- lowing order :
DRESSER STREET HILL.
At the annual meeting it was voted to raise and appropriate the sum of $3,000 for the cutting and grading of Dresser street, and the Selectmen were authorized and instructed to contract the same with the lowest bidder. The Selectmen advertised for proposals for the work in several county papers, and after open- ing and examining all bids, awarded the contract to John Hilton & Son of Douglas, for the completion of said work, according to plans and specifications of A. C. Moore, civil engineer. The price paid was $3,500, this amount being $500 in excess of the appropriation. The board were of the unanimous opinion that they were justified in awarding the contract and exceeding the
70
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
appropriation, in consideration of the condition of the street and the wants of the Town. This work was completed about the middle of November by Messrs. Hilton & Son, in a thorough and acceptable manner to the Selectmen, and we now have a broad and accommodating street, with a safe and easy grade, instead of as heretofore, dubbed-a " toboggan slide."
COLUMBIAN ROAD.
The completion of this work bas been one of the most impor- tant improvements during the past season. The work was com- menced late in the fall of 1886, with an appropriation of $I,coo, under the superintendence of A. H. Shepard. At the annual meeting in April last, $ 1,200 was appropriated, and at a later meeting October 17, $546.43. The whole expenditure has been provided for, and the account now stands balanced. Mr. Shep- ard superintended the work to our entire satisfaction and approval. We deem this an improvement that meets the approval of all our citizens, and one that improves and beautifies a locality where private enterprise is doing much to advance our industries.
HOOK AND HAMILTON STREET WALK AND DRAIN.
There was at our annual meeting an appropriation of $600, for the construction of this work. Upon entering upon the work we found it much more of an undertaking than was antic- ipated or had been estimated for. This street (Hook street) has been the subject of discussion in many town meetings, and a source of much annoyance and expense in the past. We have built a large barrel drain of brick and cement on the northerly side of the street, and covered the same with earth, with a paved gutter on the surface on the southeasterly side. We have con-
71
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
structed a concrete walk seven feet in width, with granite curb and paved gutter. We have also changed the grade of the street considerably, by filling at the foot of the hill. The street has now a broad and accommodating appearance, a strong and favorable contrast to its past narrow and cramped condition, and will compare favorably with our best streets.
CRANE STREET REPAIRS.
This has been a street from which there has arisen many com- plaints in the past from its muddy and miry condition at certain seasons of the year. The Town at the last annual meeting voted $1,coo to repair the street. This sum was raised without any considered estimate or plan, or any instructions as to how the remedy should be accomplished. The Selectmen, upon examination, and in company with George A. Dresser, in whose charge the work was entrusted, decided to drill and blow out the ledge on the southerly side of the street, cut a ditch four feet in width and three feet in depth, and put in an eight inch drain pipe the whole length, fill the ditch with stone, and cover the surface with gravel, thereby making a walk dry at all seasons of the year. We have arranged for conducting the water across the street near and under the N. Y. & N. E. passenger station, that being the lowest point on the street. There has also been a drain put in near where the street intersects with River street. Should these drains prove inadequate to take the water or keep the street dry, other cross drains in the future could be con- structed at small expense. There is a small balance to the credit of this account.
72
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
EDWARDS STREET EXTENSION.
Among the many new streets laid out the past few years, none have been built that give greater accommodation to a large number of our population. The construction was quite expensive, as the work was mostly through solid rock. We believe we have expended the money wisely, and the town and public are greatly benefited thereby. We have somewhat exceeded the first ap; ropriation, but the deficiency has been provided for and the account now stands balanced.
NORTH STREET WALK.
This walk was commenced in the fall of 1886, the appropria- tion at that time being too small for the completion of the work. At the annual meeting in April last, the town voted an addi- tional sum, and since that time we have completed the walk and have a small balance to the credit of the account. It is one of the longest and straightest walks in Town, and one that accom- modates a large number of people and greatly improves the street. Other walks and improvements of less importance than those mentioned have been completed. They require no refer- ence from us, as the Auditors' report gives full details of all expenditures in the different departments of the Town.
In terminating our stewardship and rendering an account of our official duties for the past year, we trust we have not bur-
