SELECTMEN'S REPORT. 21


inconveniences of preparing food under the Town House, while it would change decidedly the system, of diet, might at the same time cause a decrease of applicants.


Coal.


The Selectmen were instructed, at the annual March meet- ing, to obtain estimates of coal consumed for town purposes during the year, and to contract for the same.


Early in June letters were sent to some of the principal dealers, inviting proposals for furnishing the town with coal for the year, based on the following estimates : -


Furnace coal


138 tons


Egg

66


Stove (Almshouse)


5


212 tons


It was stipulated that the coal should be of first quality, anthracite, and well screened. The Board reserving the right to weigh on the town scales any or all loads delivered, also the right to reject any and all proposals received.


Messrs. Wellington & Hunnewell, Charlestown, forwarded the lowest estimate, and to them the contract was awarded, at the following scale of prices : -


Furnace coal


$7 65


Egg,

Miscellaneous Items.


In addition to work performed on specific streets, as enumer- ated herewith in detail, we have made general repairs on nearly all of the highways. Several culverts have been par- tially rebuilt and put in order. Sidewalks on the Avenue. Pleasant and Water Streets have been repaired, and the gut- ters cleared of the wash from the roads. Whether the town has made progress equal to the amount of appropriations

spent we leave for the citizens to decide, with the feeling, that no pains have been spared by your Board of Selectmen in the judicious expenditure of the town's funds, and to har- monize all those differences of opinion encountered at the very threshold of our official duties.
