I would call your attention to the Police department. The officers' room and chief office is in the basement of the Town House, in the same room in which the lock-up is situ- ated. It is low and ill-ventilated, partly under ground and very unpleasant, especially so when there are any persons locked up. A great many people who call there will not come in at all, but prefer to do their business out of doors, espe- cially if any one is locked up there. I would propose taking the room now occupied by the jeweller. A door could be cut through so as to connect with the lock-up below. I would also call your attention to the fact that there should be more

cells ; there are only two and I might say only one, as the pipe which conveys the heat up into the hall passes right through one of the cells, so that it is hardly safe to put any one into it, and by making the change I have referred to, there could be more cells put into the same room now occupied as an office and cell-room.
With these few suggestions, which I think it would be well for the town to consider, I will now give the number of arrests and other work done by the Police.

Licenses.
At the last annual Town Meeting it was voted to grant licenses to sell intoxicating liquors. In accordance with that vote, there have been seven licenses granted, three of the first class, two of the third class, and two of the sixth class, as follows : -
George Russell, 1st class license, fee, $250 00
Chas. S. Jacobs, Jr., 1st class license, fee, 250 00
Elizabeth Steinkrauss, 1st class license, fee, 250 00 M. A. Richardson & Co., 3d class license, fee, 150 00 Thomas McCue, 3d class license, fee, 150 00

Total amount received,
$1,052 00
Deduct one quarter paid to the State, 263 00
Leaving a balance in the Town Treasury, $789 00
Town Debt.
It will be seen by reference to the Treasurer's report that $30,000 of the debt was paid in 1882, and we would call the attention of the town to the fact that $47,000 of debt falls due in 1883, for which some provision must be made.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Town Clock.
After careful inquiry in regard to obtaining a new clock for the town, your Selectmen made a contract with the " E. Howard Watch and Clock Company" to furnish one, all com -. plete, and in good order, and enclosed in a closet in the tower of the Unitarian church for the sum of $475. Ap- propriation $500.
Fire Department.
As heretofore, we refer you to the report of the Chief Engineer.
Conclusion.
For the receipts and expenditures in detail, reference may be had to the Treasurer's Report.
