SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Citizens of the Town of Wilmington:
We herewith submit a statement of the general ex- penditures for the past twelve months, with an explana- tion of the increased expense in some departments.
Under the miscellaneous account will be found an unusually large expenditure which was caused by neces- sary expenses which were not provided for by special appropriations.
To explain more fully we would state, that our first extraordinary expense was the settlement of a pending suit for trespass and damage, by removing gravel from land in the south district in 1898, in opposition to the owner's orders, and then paying the tenant living upon said place for the gravel instead of the owner. There was no defence whatever so we settled for $60.
Our next was incurred in rebinding the first three books of the Town Records, under an order from the State Commissioner of Public Records, at an expense of $42.50 The town flag being worn out we purchased a new flag and halyard at an expense of $25.76. We next had to rebuild the hay scales as they were danger- ous as well as useless, the expense being about $60. Our next expense was incurred in obtaining a well at
32
the Town Farm. This expense was large, owing to the fact that it was through solid rock for a depth of four- teen feet from the original bottom of the well, which was but six feet from the surface. There is now a well twenty feet deep with a new pump the expense was $270.00, and we consider it worth double that amount in the value of the farm. The next unlooked for ex- pense was incurred in extinguishing forest fires, which for the most part were of a mysterious origin. The ex- pense incurred was $347.38, being $266.30 in excess of last year.
Under the appropriation for printing there is an excess, the appropriation not being adequate to the expenses. As will be seen the expense for Town Reports and the Printed Valuation amounted to $ 198.68, leav- ing unexpended of the appropriation $1.32 from which to pay for all the necessary printing of the year.
The schools have been economically managed, the appropriation for the same, also that for books and sup- plies, showing a balance unexpended.
By some error in calculation at the annual meeting last March, the appropriation for the salary of Super- intendent of Schools was not sufficient to meet the ex- pense incurred to the end of the financial year by $70.83.
The highways are in good condition and a small bal- ance remains unexpended. The Public Library appro- priation shows a small unexpended balance. A detailed statement will be found under the report of the Libra. rian.
The Poor department shows an unexpended balance for the year, in marked contrast to the usual excess.
33
A statement in full will be found under the report of the Overseers of the Poor.
We suggest an appropriation for the payment of Mili- tary Aid, for which no provision heretofore has been made.
The expenses of the other departments will be found under the usual headings.
In conclusion we wish to say that the total expenses are within the total appropriations and receipts, leaving a balance in the Treasury unexpended: also that the temporary loan has been reduced $4000, making a re- duction of $7000 in the past two years.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES E. KELLEY, CHAS. J. SARGENT, EDWARD A. CARTER, Selectmen of Wilmington.

EDWARD A. CARTER JAMES E. KELLEY, CHARLES J. SARGENT, Assessors of Wilmington.
REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
Following the election of the present Board of Overseers, in March, 1900, it was decided that a change in the superintendency at the Farm was nec- essary. We had several applications, but our unani- mous choice were the present Superintendent and Matron, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Moulton, under whose efficient management the farm and house have been for the past nine months. The inmates have had good care, and everything has been done for them that was needed for their health and comfort. The condi- tions of things in general are greatly improved, and for the past nine months the farm has been more than self-supporting.
The receipts and expenses will be found itemized further on.
