Concreting.
Quite a large number of yards have been laid in different parts of the town. Where concrete sidewalks have been laid, one-half the expense has been paid by the abutters, as will be seen by the Treasurer's Report. Considerable has been done for individuals.
Concrete Gutters and Crossings.
A concrete gutter, consisting of 143 yards, has been laid on Claremont Avenue, near Wollaston Avenue. This work was very necessary, as during every rain we experienced more or less washing out. Upon several streets in town where they are of steep grade, the gutters should be con- creted. Crossings have been laid as follows: two on Arling- ton Avenue, three on Pleasant Street, at the expense of the town; two on Pleasant, and one on Academy Streets, paid for by individuals ; and one at the junction of Park and Arling- ton Avenues, one-half expense being paid by the Arlington Heights Improvement Society.
Sidewalks
Have been repaired with gravel on Arlington Avenue, Academy, Broadway, Dudley, Central, Medford, Mystic, Pleasant, Summer, and Warren Streets. There has been expended upon sidewalks the sum of $493.75, leaving an un- expended balance of $6.25. Walks on several of the streets very much need re-gravelling at an early day.

Following the custom of former years, letters were issued asking proposals for furnishing the needed supply for the Town; Mr. J. W. Peirce received the contract for $5.78 per ton, including housing the same.
Cemeteries.
Mr. John B. Hartwell has had the care of the cemeteries the past year. Foliage and flowering plants have been set as heretofore by Mr. Dinsmore.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Licenses.
A majority of the Board finding it impossible for them to believe that it would be for the best interest of the Town to have licenses granted for the sale of intoxicating liquors, therefore no licenses have been granted.
Outside. Poor.
Appropriation,
$2,300 00
Credit from Poor Widow's Fund,
435 00
$2,735 00
Expended,
2,721 58
Balance unexpended,
$13 42
Three of the insane poor have died during the year, namely, John Hass, Endor Estabrook, and Levi I. Lombard. There are now three in the Asylum, Mr. Dennis Dunn, George V. Hill, and Margaret Lyons. The appropriation granted has been expended as best we knew how, and the amount expended for Mr. Thomas Mccarthy, referred to in the Treasurer's Report, is to be refunded by the State.
Fire Department.
As has been the custom heretofore, we refer to the Report of the Chief Engineer.
Counsel Fees.
In this connection we would say, that after several in- effectual attempts to obtain a settlement in any way with Mr. Daniel Lyons for the board of his daughter in the Asylum, and having good reasons for believing that he was amply able to pay something, suit was brought against him, in which the ('ourt gave judgment in favor of the Town ; but he, having filed objections to the ruling of the Court, has carried the case to a higher court for decision.

The Report of the Treasurer, following this, will give you a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures.
We leave the matter with you, fellow-citizens, to judge whether or not we have acted judiciously in the management of the affairs of the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
