Watering Streets.
In addition to the former route, a subscription was taken on the upper portion of the avenue, and the route extended to the foot of the Rocks, and easterly, to the residence of Mrs. Butterfield, which necessitated erecting three addition- al stand-pipes, also the procuring of another watering-cart. Not being certain of the continuance of the experiment an- other year, the purchase of a second cart was not warranted, and one was hired for the season.
Culverts and Bridges.
No repairs have been made on bridges. The bridge on Medford Street needs examination the coming season. Several culverts have been taken up and repaired, and two new ones put in.
Stone Crusher and Stone.
The Engine and Crusher have been put in thorough re- pair. There is a large amount of stone piled in the yard and shed, ready for crushing, nearly, if not quite enough, for the ensuing season without purchasing.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Concreting.
Concreting has been done in front of Town Hall, and the residences of Mrs. Thayer, Rufus Merrill, Rev. M. Harkins and Chas. Gott ; one-half expense being paid by the abut- ters, the other half from the appropriation for sidewalks. Considerable has been done for individuals, as will be seen in the Treasurer's Report. Sections of concrete gutters have been put in Park Avenue, Medford and Mystic Streets. More are needed on Park Avenue and on Mystic Street from Arlington Avenue to the foot of the hill near the house of J. H. Hartwell. Some of the sidewalks on Arlington Avenue will soon need repairs.
A few more foot crossings would be very convenient.
Gutters.
The gutters have been generally cleared, and are in readi- ness for winter. The gravel taken from the gutters has been. d upon the sidewalks, and the loam sold.
Sidewalks
Have been built and repaired on Park Avenue, Broadway, Claremont Avenue, Arlington Avenue, Medford, Mystic, Appleton, Chestnut and Warren Streets, and including the concrete walks heretofore mentioned, at an expense of $336.80, leaving an unexpended balance of the appropria- tion of $161.20.
Tools.
The tools have been kept up to the full value of last year and are all in repair, ready for use in the spring.

Teams.
The horses are the same as last year, and are in good con- dition. The carts have been painted, and with the harnesses, are in good repair.
Almshouse.
The Almshouse has been under the care of Mr. George W. Austin, with his wife as Matron, and we would here say that everything in and about the premises has been kept in excellent order and condition. From Mr. Austin's Report we make the following extracts :

The furniture and fixtures of the house have been kept up fully equal to the condition of last year. As was recom- mended, an addition has been made to the stable for the housing of carts and wagons, with a general storeroom overhead, at an expense of $250.80. The stable and sheds have been painted, and are now in good condition.
An improvement has been made in the drainage of the house and stable, by the putting in of new drains, which was considered necessary in a sanitary point.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Street Lamps.
There are 52 lamps lighted with gas, one having been erected within the year on Winter Street. The cost per lamp has been about $20.10. There are also 45 lamps lighted with gasoline, 5 having been erected on Lake Street. The cost of lighting with gasoline has been $18 per lamp ; this does not include repairs. All the lamps and posts are now in thorough repair, having been painted and glazed where needed. Many of the stopcocks having become worn, it was thought best to replace them all with new ones of another pattern, which has been done. The gas lamps, have been lighted and cared for by two of the Police.
