We can testify to the value of a subject indexed catalogue, having been one of the first to adopt this system, our first being issued in 1876. But many improvements have been made during the years that have intervened, and many more doubtless will be made in the coming years. During the last year, Mr. Geo. M. Lovell, chairman of the Library committee, has continued the work, mentioned in our last report, viz: revising our card cata- logue, and making a fuller subject index. The work is now more than half completed, and is found by those who make use of it to be of great value. We trust the work will, the coming year, be continued. Since patrons have had freer access to the shelves,

we have been unsuccessful in our attempts to keep an accurate account of the number used in the Library rooms. Hence our re- port shows only the number issued for home use.
We cannot in justice close this report without mentioning in terms of commendation the services of our assistants. The fre- quency with which we hear from our patrons, words of apprecia- tion of their cheerfulness and alacrity in serving them, leads us to feel this public acknowledgement is due to them.
Among the most popular of the works of fiction added the past year are J. M. Barrie's, Capt. Charles King's and W. Clark Russell's. In the juvenile section G. A. Henty's and Rosa N. Cary's meet with great favor, and J. T. Trowbridge's stories are always in demand. Miss Buckley's and Miss Bamford's juvenile works upon natural history, are also highly appreciated.

Selectmen's Report.
The year that has just drawn to a close has been an event- ful one. Large expenditures have been made owing to the de- mands of our citizens, who take great pride in the growth and prosperity of the town. The appropriations made in the spring, were not sufficient for the maintenance of the several depart- ments. A deficiency in some of the accounts has been handed down to successors in office a little being added every year for the last few years until now some of the accounts are largely overdrawn, which will be satisfactorily explained in the detailed report of the Board of Auditors. In the large expenditures com- mitted to us, economy has been our watch-word. We believe in improvements which necessitates expenditures whereby good results can be shown. Our citizens are progressive and their demands large. The construction of the sewer which is now completed, with the exception of the flush tank at the drinking fountain, cost double the estimate, although bids were advertised for, and the contract let to a responsible party with heavy bonds. Yet owing to errors in surveys, specifications and plans drawn up by the engineer some two or three years ago, we found that we could save several thousand dollars by new surveys and change of grade on Central street. We caused these changes to be made and although the work on this street was very expensive owing to the large amount of rock cutting, we are glad to say that we have a first class sewer system and have kept within the appro- priations. From information that we got from those that had experience in sewers we deemed it best to increase the size of the pipe along the entire line which added somewhat to the cost. Yet we believe by increasing the size of pipe the sewer is good for 50 years to come. Central Mills Co. agreed for the nominal
62
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
rental of one dollar per year to give the town the right to lay six inch pipe through their mill yard connecting with a pen stock from the canal, thereby giving us, as we have been assured by competent engineers, one of the best sewer flushing arrangements in the country. There is now on file in the Selectmen's office a location plan showing frontage and giving number of feet of as- sessable property of every abutter along the line of the sewer. Proper rules and regulations will be adopted for entering the sewer.
The Doyle case is settled and we are glad to say that there is no other case pending against the town. 'Tne Worcester, Lei- cester and Spencer Electric Railroad Co., applied for a franchise within the limits of the town. After giving several hearings and thoroughly investigating the matter we deemed it wise and for the best interests of the town to grant the same. We have every reason to believe that the work will be commenced by May 1st. and completed before Nov. 1st. of this year.
The Mechanic street bridge is now completed and is being put in place. It is not an elaborate affair but a good, substantial structure and built for business.
Williams street, owing to the lateness of the season, was not commenced. We should have been very glad to have built the street for the convenience of those living upon it. The work will probably be pushed early in the spring.
HIGHWAYS.
There was a balance against this account of $278.87 at the commencement of the year. We close the year with a balance to the credit of the account of $104.98 which sum would have been sufficent to have met the ordinary expenses for the month of March, but owing to the severe snow storm the filling and block- ing up of our streets and roads, we shall reccommend a special appropriation for the payment of bills contracted on this account.
The amount of work that has been done and the good condition of our roads and streets, shows good and efficient management on
63
-
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
the part of our Street Commissioner.
Four new streets have been built and all are in good condition for travel; all have been built within the appropriations.
We would recommend the sum of five thousand dollars for re- pairs of Highways and a special appropriation of one thousand dollars for the clearing of the streets and town roads of snow.
CONTINGENT.
This account is overdrawn $987.35. There was a balance against this account last year of $840.73. There were bills outstanding, connected with the Doyle case $225.00, vaccination bill $164.00, and salary of superintendent of cemetery $100.00, making in all $489.00 which there had been no provision made for payment, and was paid. We would recommend the sum of $3,200.00, be appropriated. This will wipe out the old balance which has been accumulating for years, and pay the expenses for the coming year.
SIDEWALKS.
The town owns a number of miles of sidewalks and are building more every year. Some of the old brick walks are getting into an unsafe condition and must be repaired either with new brick or concrete; of the two we advise concrete. It may cost a trifle more but is the cheapest in the end. We have reset curbing, re- paired gutters, and concreted walk on Hamilton street, also on Main street. Also recovered walks about the town where needed. We have built on the west side of Mechanic street a new concrete walk which is now an established walk, belonging to the town. We would recommend the sum of $1000 for this account.
BRIDGES.
This account is largely overdrawn, owing to the condition of our bridges. Our attention was called to the condition of Cen-
64
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
tral street bridge and also to River street bridge. Before pro ceeding to any large outlay we thought it advisable to have an examination by a practical bridgeman. We consulted Mr. Henry Manley, of Boston, Chief of the Engineering Department, who has charge of constructing and repairing of all bridges in Boston, who came here and examined the above bridges. He at once con- demned Central street bridge and ordered a few repairs for River street bridge, with a recommendation for the town to consider, which will be presented at the April meeting. The general re- pairs of Central street bridge and the slight repairs of River street bridge, with the replanking and new stringers for the Chestnut street bridge and the replanking of one of the Sanders- dale bridges has overdrawn the account. We would recommend for ordinary repairs of the balance against this account the sum of $600.
RAILINGS.
The railings are in good repair. We have put up no new railing this year, but the building of the new streets will necessitate new railing, and we would recommend the sum of $100 be appropriated for that purpose.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The introduction of the Fire Alarm has been a very important factor in this department ; and under the very efficient manage- inent of Chief Engineer, Charles E. Wilson, the department has been ably managed and his report will give more particularly the condition of the department and of work done the past year.
INSURANCE.
The insurance policies on the Town Hall building having expired Jan. 1st, 1893, and no provision having been made for the payment of the premiums, and the renewals of all other
65
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
policies on town property, has very largely overdrawn this account. There is a balance against this account of $410 58. We recommend the sum of $650 for this account.
WAR RELIEF.
The large credit to this account of $411.99 is owing to a num- ber of our soldiers and widows of soldiers having received pensions during the past year, which has relieved this account very much. Where we were assisting the families of 12 soldiers last year we are now giving aid to only six. We would rec- ommend the sum of $1,000 for this account.
MILITIA.
We would recommend the usual appropriation for this account, as the citizens take great pride in the maintenance of Co. K.
STREET LIGHTS.
As these have become an indispensible convenience, we would recommend the sum of $6,000 for this account.
TOWN HALL CONTINGENT.
There is a credit to this account of $175.87 and no outstanding bills. Owing to the extreme cold weather the past winter the heating of the Town Hall has been a large itein of expense. Some may ask why this large expense of running the Town Hall? They must not forget that this heating, lighting and care of school rooms, which should go to school appropriations, is paid from this account. We would suggest that some arrange- ment be made, whereby a portion of this expense be paid from the school fund.
66
REPORT OF SELECTMEN.
We would recommend that the vault in the selectmen's room be fitted up with shelves and drawers, where all books, plans and records of the Town should be kept. We recommend the sum of $1,200 for this account.

Report of Cemetery Committee.
Since the last annual meeting of the town two members of the committee, Theodore Harrington and Henry Walker declined to serve. The vacancies were filled by the election of C. A. Paige chosen secretary and Thomas Sanders, chairman. Samuel Williams was appointed superintendent of the cemetery with a salary of $100 a year. Mr. Williams accepted the position and has shown much interest in his work and has made many im- provements to the satisfaction and approval of the committee; much more work remains to be done and with a reasonable appropriation annually the cemetery can be much improved and made pleasant and attractive as the committee and the citizens of the town wish to have it. The cemetery fund amounts to $6,239 25, with $225 paid into the treasury since the 1st of March, too late to be credited to the account which appears in the Treasurer's Report as $6,014 25. The amount received for sale of lots $385; for perpetual care of lots, $270; for work grading lots, etc., $144.50; total, $799.50. The receipts in detail can be found in the committee's cash account. No part of the cemetery fund can be used except the interest. The com- mittee think the amount will soon or ought to reach $10,000, with a five per cent interest will earn $500 a year. The com- mittee recommend owners of lots to provide for perpetu il care as a wise thing to do. And we wish to thank Alvah Hyde, Esq., for assistance during the year, writing and recording deeds of the sale and for the perpetual care of lots without charge. We recommend an appropriation of $700 for the ensuing year.

Grass was cut five times all over the yard during the season and perpetual care lots as often as needed. It cost as near as can be estimated $45 to cut the grass each time. Have filled up 165 graves that were caved in and brought them up to grade at a cost of about forty cents each ; graded and regraded 12 lots at the cemetery's expense, belonging to parties that have passed away and no one left to care for them. The labor account on the lots was about $50. The balance was used for avenue work, making flower beds and general repairs and improvements. The

grass was sold for six dollars to be paid for in manure, a part delivered last year, the remainder to be delivered this spring. A detailed account of the above expenditures with vouches has been given the committee during the year.
