engineers figured would be necessary. The expense for extra drain pipe and excavating amounted to about $1,200.00. ·
We also had to tear up and rebuild the tar cross- ings at Crane, Hook, Marcy and Edwards streets to bring the same down to grade of street and pavement, entailing an expense of about $800.00 more.
Throughout the construction we have attempted to have first class work and still keep the expenditure as low as possible. We feel that in this case the town has received full value for money spent.
After consulting the Highway Commission we feel assured that the town will have state help for any fur- ther extension of brick pavement towards Globe Village.
The selectmen recommend to the voters the exten- sion of the Hamilton street pavement to a point neal private way leading to the residence of Mr. C. W. Hill which is about half way between Pine street and the so-called iron bridge. This street when completed would give us a good street from Main street, Globe Village, to the center of the town.
HYDRANTS.
The Southbridge Water Supply Co. has reduced the price of its hydrants from $30 to $25 each, thereby saving $530 a year. The town has 106 hydrants.
CONTINGENT.
The State Board of Forestry has compelled the tree warden (who has no funds) to attempt to stop the

increase of the Elm Beetle pest and this expense was met from the contingent account.
At the present time we have received orders and letters from the same officials that the town should ap- point a moth superintendent. All this shows that our expenditures keep increasing every year.
TOWN HALL CONTINGENT.
The Board would recommend a larger appropria- tion for the maintenance of the town hall. We believe it is best to keep the building in good condition. The front hallway needs painting and repairing. The brownstone coping in the gables should be pointed up and the leaded windows need repairing, and the sash should also be painted and pointed up. The tar walks around the building should be repaired. Other changes and improvements should be made inside the hall.
If nothing is done about a new police station, a small additional sum should be voted for necessary repairs.

The town has been fortunate this year in not having many contagious diseases, quarantine has been strictly enforced but in a few cases it has been trying to the board to make people understand the nature of quarantine, they thinking because their case is a mild one, they can do as they please, not thinking that however mild their disease may be, it may cause through contagion or infection a more malignant one and thus the death of some near friend.
During November the board with the assistance of the physicians of the town were fortunate in getting the Boston Tubercular exhibit to come to Southbridge, and show by chart views and lectures what is being done in fighting tuberculosis. The lectures were very

instructive, dealing with the past and present history of the disease. showing the only way to fight it-by prevention, that is by proper living, hygienic surround- ings, fresh air and sunlight.
The exhibit had large attendance both afternoon and evening during the five days upon which it was held. We thank the citizens for their large attendance and we know the results of the exhibit will be very beneficial for the future health of the town.
