GUIDE POSTS AND GUIDE BOARDS.
We submit the following report on Guide Posts and Guide Boards We have found nearly all the guide posts and guide boards in good condition, excepting in a few places. These we have renewed either by repairing or putting up new ones. In a few places we bought and put up iron ones at a cost of fifty cents (50cts.) each, believing them on account of their durability cheaper than wooden ones. We have erected, repaired, or painted posts and boards at the following places : One at Manning's corner, near Littleton line; one at East Littleton station; one at B. F. Day's; one at corner of Sarah Cumming's road; six (iron) at east end of common, with iron post; one (iron) at Graniteville station, N., A. & B. R. R .; one (iron) near Hey-
31
wood & Burbeck's mill; four (iron) at corner of roads at Read Farm; two (iron) at corner of road east of Forge Village, on the Littleton road; two at E. A. Stevens'; one at Wilkerson corner, and repainted boards at west end of common, and near the Academy. We would recommend new boards at the following places, viz., at the Gilbert Parker place; cross road near Amos Leighton's; junct- ion of roads near Samuel L. Taylor's; corner of roads near Perham place. There are other places, no doubt, where it would be of ad- vantage to have posts erected for the benefit of the travelling pub- lic, which can be done during the coming year.
The following expenditures have been made :

EXPENSE OF PUTTING ON GUTTERS, SHINGLING, AND BUILDING FENCE AT SCHOOL HOUSES.
Under vote of 'the town at a meeting held April 25, 1891. The cementing of the cellar at the Centre school-house, shingling school- houses at Forge Village and Nabnassett, and building fence at Nash- oba school-house was left in charge of the Selectmen. At the Cen- tre school-house we found it not advisable to cement the cellar on account of the water from the roof draining into it. To prevent this we had galvanized gutters and conductors put on to the build- ing and connected with drain pipe to carry the water away from the cellar. This, we think, will remedy the difficulty. At the Nash- oba school-house we were authorized to build a wire fence, but we found that a portion of the old fence could be used, and it would be economy for the town to build a board fence. The following amounts have been expended in the several places :
CENTRE SCHOOL-HOUSE.

REPAIRS OF ROADS AND BRIDGES.
In accordance with Chap. 98, Acts of 1889, the Selectmen ap- pointed Henry Chamberlain Superintendent of Streets. Upon taking charge of the roads the Selectmen made arrangements with the Board of Overseers of the Poor to furnish two teams of two horses each for work. After a month's trial we became satisfied that on account of keeping the teams at the Town Farm, which required so much travel, the Town was not getting its equivalent for the money expended. Upon consultation with the Board of Over- seers of the Poor, it was decided to take one team of two horses under our control, and to keep them in the center of the town. Arrangements were also made with Benjamin F. Day to furnish one pair of horses in addition. By this arrangement the men and teams were at work at 7 o'clock A. M., and accomplished a full day's work. The following expenditures have been made. Amount of appro- priation, $3,000. The following bills were paid under the approval of Edward Prescott, Superintendent for 1890:
