Whereas, There are at present, in the opinion of a good- ly number of our citizens just and good causes for complaint, therefore be it
Resolved, That the voters in special Town Meeting as- sembled respectfully beg to call the attention of the Street Railway Company to our constantly increasing need for bet- ter service, the regularly overcrowded cars on certain trips, the daily inability to make schedule time, and the uneven condition of the rails ; and to ask due consideration be given these matters with an eye to the improvement, wherever pos- sible, and be it further
Resolved, That citizens using the cars be requested to compile and deliver to the Selectmen detailed information showing the needs of better accommodations, covering such periods of time as may be agreed upon ; said information to form the basis of a subsequent presentation of the facts to the Railway Company, and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, with our ac- tions thereon, be mailed to the Division Superintendent of the Bay State Street Railway Company and a second copy to the Selectmen of the Town of Bridgewater.
Voted,-That the Treasurer be instructed to deposit proceeds from the sale of water bonds in the name of the Town of West Bridgewater Water Department, and that any interest earned by said deposit be credited to the Water De- partment Sinking Fund, and all money collected, be deposited to the credit of the Water Department.

Our schools are to be greatly benefited by a change in our union district made by the State Board of Education. The district which has hitherto included three towns will now embrace the towns of East Bridgewater and West Bridge- water only.
This good fortune gives to us a larger share of the time and attention of our valued Superintendent, and at once enables him to be in closer touch with the work of each pupil, benefiting the teachers as well through his greater opportun- ity for advice and support.
One of the most gratifying features of the school work of the year has been the graduation of thirty-nine pupils from the Grammar School, all well prepared to take up High School work.
The number of our school children is constantly increas- ing. Another year will show few, if any, vacant seats in our school rooms, a fact that not only emphasizes the con- tinuous growth of our town, but admonishes us to prepare to meet its future necessities, particularly in the way of school facilities.
The numerous repairs made throughout the year parti- cularly those at the Sunset Avenue and Cochesett School houses were deemed of great importance in protecting the health and well-being of the pupils.
Our teachers are working faithfully to elevate the char- acter of school effort, hoping with the aid of parents and good home influences to graduate pupils who will become good citizens.
