SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Fire Department.
By reference to the Chief Engineer's Report, the details of this department may be found.
Town House.
We feel it necessary to again call your attention to the con- dition of the town house.
By referring to our report of last year, will be found what, in our judgment, ought to be done. Owing to the large expense that such an alteration would make, we did not feel warranted in undertaking it without some expression from the town. With the funds now on hand for that purpose, we could lower the cupola, if thought best by the town, make the roof tight and put the interior in good condition.
New settees are needed at all events.
