Tramps.


The number of tramps fed and lodged at the Almshouse for the year was 780 ; in addition, some 25 to 30 have been cared for at the station house. The number of vagrants above given, may seem at first large, but is not much in excess of last year. About forty per cent. of the whole number are Saturday night vis- · itants, of whom no work can be required. The law, empowering the Selectmen to enforce labor from this class of applicants in re- turn for food and lodging, is a salutary one, and a needed step in the right direction.

Town Debt.


The amount of town notes due and liquidated the present year was $6,000. Notes amounting to $16,200 fall due in 1877. The greater part of this indebtedness is drawing interest at seven per cent. This debt could be funded by other notes, at a less rate of interest, for a term of years, but with our water loan increasing from year to year, your Board would recommend that the amount of these notes maturing in 1877 be raised by taxation. The amount thus to be raised seems large but the indebtedness of the town maturing from year to year until 1882 is light and can be easily liquidated.


Superintendence of Streets.


Three years ago, at the outset of our official duties, Mr. S. E. Kimball was reappointed Superintendent of Streets. The neat- ness and good repair of the Almshouse, under his immediate charge ; the durability and finish of roads constructed under his

supervision ; his success in handling gangs of men, and superior faculty of keeping sufficient work ahead, that no time may be lost between the completion of one class of work and the com- mencement of another, attest sufficiently the value of his services, without comment from us.
