The town appropriates the unexpended balance of the appropriation made March 15, 1887, for the curbing, grading, etc., of the grounds, namely, four hundred and twelve and 61 low dollars, to constitute a part of said fund ; and further appropriates the sum of six hundred and seventy- five and Foo 37 dollars, to be added to the foregoing sums, thus making in all twenty-one hundred dollars. Of said sum one hundred dollars shall be used under the direction of the Monument Committee, for the building of a fence and the adorning of the grounds ; the remaining sum of two thousand dollars shall be established as a permanent fund, to be styled the "Soldiers' Monument Fund" to be placed in the hands of the Trustees of the Robbins Fund for management and investment, who shall report yearly at the annual meeting of the town in March, the income of said fund to be applied, as from time to time may be needed, to the care and manage- ment of the monument and grounds.

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


The Water Commissioners respectfully ask leave to submit the following Report for the year 1888 :


The water works continue to show favorable progress as to its financial result. The Treasurer's account of the re- ceipts and expenditures, as can be seen, show that the re- ceipts for water rates have increased this year over those of last year the sum of $572.93 ; this with a balance unexpended of $1186.08 we think carries with it a very good exhibit.
