Guide Boards
Are in about the same condition as last year, excepting in a few instances where they have been destroyed by some malicious persons, and which will need to be replaced by new ones. One new board has been placed at Westminster Avenue and two at private streets.
Watering Streets.
As in former years, subscriptions were taken early in the spring and a sufficient amount being raised to warrant an addition to the former routes- portions of Broadway and
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Medford Streets, and on the Avenue from Winter Street to Cambridge line, - thus necessitating the expense of one additional standpipe and one more cart. We think the satis- faction of the abutters will warrant a continuance of the same routes another season.
Bridges and Culverts.
Two new culverts have been put in and several taken up and relaid. The brick arched bridge on Mystic Street has been lengthened about twenty-four feet. Two new water- grates have been set.
Stone Crusher and Stone.
A new belt has been purchased and considerable repairs made, and the crusher is now in a very fair condition. We have on hand quite a large amount of stone crushed for use. As will be seen by the financial report, we have sold con- siderable stone, and we have now a larger amount on hand than usual ready for crushing.
Teams and Tools.
The teams and tools are certainly of the full value of a . year ago and are in good repair. We have purchased two water-carts the past season.
Concreting.
But little has been done the past season in concreting side- walks. Several yards of concrete gutter have been laid in Maple, Pleasant, and Mystic Streets. We think it would be economical to put down concrete gutters on many of the streets of steep grade. We presume it is very evident to the citizens that there are many repairs and improvements needed upon our highways and sidewalks which will demand attention another year.

Almshouse.
The Almshouse has been under the superintendence of Mr. G. W. Austin and wife, and, as we think, the affairs of the house have been conducted in an acceptable manner.

The furniture and fixtures of the house have been kept fully up to the value of a year ago.
An additional appropriation will be required the ensuing year for the purpose of laying new pipes for conducting the water from the spring to the buildings.
The pipes are now badly corroded and worn, and consider- able has been expended the past year in digging for leaks and repairing.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
There are now three persons at Insane Asylums - Dennis Dunn, George V. Hill, and Margaret Lyons. It will be seen by reference to the Treasurer's report that the amount expended for Thomas Mccarthy last year has been refunded by the State.
Street Lamps.
There has been one new lamp erected on Russell Street, making 53 in all for burning gas. There are also 54 for burning gasoline. The lamps have been lighted the same as last year; those burning gas, by two of the police; the others, by a person employed by the Globe Gas-Light Co.
Appropriation,

Coal.
The coal for the Town was furnished by Mr. Horatio Wel- lington of East Cambridge on contract, he being the lowest bidder among several others, for the sum of $5.90 per ton, and 60 cents extra for Lehigh, including housing.
Cemeteries.
The cemeteries have been under the care of Mr. John B. Hartwell. There has been a new fence erected on the line adjoining the land of the late Benjamin F. Russell, the old one having become very much delapidated. The cross line fence has also been repaired.
Police.
The police are same as have been for some years past, viz : Mr. John H. Hartwell, Mr. P. J. Shean, and Mr. G.

Licenses.
The majority of your Board feeling that the very small vote taken on this matter last spring was not a full expression of all the voters of the Town, and that the law left the mat- ter, as before, to the discretion of the Board, they could not see their way clear to grant licenses ; so that no licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors have been granted. .
Fire Department.
For items in regard to this department, we refer to the report of the chief engineer.
15
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
In accordance with a vote of the Town, four drinking fountains have been erected, as follows : one near the cor- ner of Lake Street and Arlington Avenue, one at the junc- tion of Warren Street and Broadway, one at the head of Bow Street, and one on the avenue near the Town House.
Appropriation,
$500 00
Expended,
499 72
Balance unexpended, $0 28
In regard to the vote of the Town instructing the Select- men to see what could be done to obtain better depot accom- modations, we would say that the change in the management of the railroad caused a long delay ; since that, we have had two consultations with the managers, and they give encourage- ment that they intend to furnish better accomodations in the spring, but their plans are not fully made.
Conclusion.
The Treasurer's report shows you the receipts and expen- ditures in detail.
We have kept within the appropriations for all depart- ments, and there are no bills known to be due at this date that are unpaid or unprovided for.
