In my opinion all curbing and gutters should in

REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR
the future be of cement, as a great saving in the cost of cleaning and repairing would be made.
UNION AND CROSS STREETS.
A cement sidewalk was built on Union and Cross streets. This sidewalk has the best foundation of any in the town, it has a rock foundation three and one-half feet deep, filled with broken stones, the stones used were taken from the ledge excavated on Oakes avenue.
EAST MAIN STREET.
East Main street was widened about three to four feet and a cement walk laid from Morris street, join- ing the ledge at the Lensdale factory of the American Optical Co.
I wish to thank the American Optical Co. for the well painted and constructed fence which they so kindly placed along this sidewalk. It not only improved the appearance of this street but also saved the town a great expense.
BROCHU STREET.
On Brochu street, cement sidewalks were laid on both sides of the street with cement gutters and cement curbing.
I have placed instead of a cement curved gutter, a cement curbing and gutter. As the curved gutters are dangerous, especially in the winter when it is slippery.
RIVER STREET.
On River street, a cement sidewalk was con- structed from Oliver street to J. and T. Ryan's store. After the street was raised it was necessary to
243
REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR
have a new sidewalk, which necessitated a deep filling of about three feet. I gave the stone filling used here free. The curbing had to be reset and a cement curb- ing and gutter were laid from the bridge to the catch- basin.
CHAPIN STREET.
A strip of cement sidewalk was laid from the residence of Dr. Lunan to the residence of Mr. Chap- man. This was left in the rough cement, being on a very steep part of the hill.
Railings
Appropriation of $500.00. Balance left $180.62.
New railings were built on Pleasant street and on Cliff street to St. George cemetery. New railings and repairs on River and Hamilton streets. The railing repairs on West Main street to the Sturbridge line, also the railings on the Westville road. All the railings in the town were painted.
Several new railings are needed the coming year down through the Morse district on the road leading to Herman Cheney's farm, also on Charlton street and on the Sandersdale road.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TAX COLLECTOR
Assessors' warrant including poll
taxes,
$134,186 79
Total amount collected, 129,513 66
Balance to be collected includ- ing poll taxes, $6,673 73
The town report for 1912 was published a month sooner than in previous years, so the time for the col- lection of taxes has been a month shorter.
The citizens of Southbridge will be willing to con- siderthat in this fact lies the cause of the amount yet to be collected in poll and property taxes. In a month, with steady work on the part of the Collector and good will on the part of the taxpayers (as they have always shown the present Collector) the Town of Southbridge will have a larger proportion of its taxes collected than last year.

During the year the town has been fortunate in not having many contagious and infectious diseases which probably was due to the strict quarantine which the board endeavor to keep over such cases.
Attention is again called to the ordinance forbid- ding spitting on the sidewalk and other public places.
During the year the board lost one of its members by the death of Dr. J. A. Genereux, who had served many years on the board.
The other members did not think it necessary to fill the vacancy as the unexpired term of one year must be'
