Owing to the existence of the State Highway on Main street more expense was incurred in constructing the sidewalk than expected, as the cement culverts had to be extended and the fence rebuilt as ordered by the State Highway Commission.
On account of the poor condition and the excess of travel on Main street, we have completed, at an expense of $1,760, the part of this street left by the Mass Highway Comm., including necessary catch basins, for a distance of 1200 feet in length.
We were fortunate in receiving an allotment for tate High- way which completes Main street to the town line.
The walls on Burlington avenue have been relaid as located by the County Commissioners, which was necessary before an extension of time for the completion of the work could be obtained.
Temple street, which was accepted by the town, has been completed.
We would suggest, on account of the increase of travel, that the appropriation for Highway, Roads and Bridges be raised to the sum of $2,500.

Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF THE SARAH D. J. CARTER FREE LECTURE COMMITTEE
TO THE CITIZENS OF WILMINGTON :
The undersigned committee in charge of the Lecture Course, herewith inform you that special arrangements have been made for the use of the new Grange Hall, on Wildwood street, for the current series of five entertainments, as per schedule on following page.
As the seating capacity of the auditorium is large, and as it seems likely that it will accommodate as may people as may wish to at- tend at any one entertainment, FULL COURSE TICKETS will be issued to heads of families-two tickets to each family ; one ticket only in cases where an adult individual has no family.
These tickets will be issued at Town Hall on the fourteenth of October (Saturday) from two until nine o'clock p. m.
Tickets must be presented for admittance.
Doors open at seven o'clock p. m. Lectures begin at seven thirty.

No. 5. February 16, 1912 Lecture, "The Wisdom of Foolishness" GEORGE WOOD ANDERSON
The experience gained by your committee, in arranging the first two courses-the second of which will be completed before this word reaches you-suggests to us most forcibly that the money at our disposal (the annual income from the Carter fund as at present invested ) is entirely inadequate to provide five lectures if we are to be able to maintain the admittedly- high standard of the first course and meet the extra expense of using the Grange hall for our events.
Therefore, unless we receive more income from a possibly more remunerative reinvestment of the fund, or voluntary sub- scriptions to swell our resources, it will be merely a business pro- cedure for us to make our 1912-1913 course one of only four (4) numbers.
We believe the citizens of Wilmington appreciate our use of the largest hall -for, besides the additional opportunity for at- tendance, a large audience always inspires talent to better effort, and our people get a larger measure of pleasure and satisfaction in consequence.
As our next contract for the coming season will be made about April 15th in order to arrange with the right entertainers on dates we prefer, any additions to our income for this coming season should be sent to our treasurer, Mr. Kelley, before that date. Proper and public acknowledgment will be made thereof.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I herewith submit my report as inspector of animals for the town of Wilmington.
Owing to a change in orders issued by Chief of the Cattle Bureau of the State Board of Agriculture, the animal inspection was ordered to be made during the months of February and March, 1911, as cattle would be more likely to be confined in stables during these months than earlier.
Also for the purpose of detecting the existence of Scabies which can be more readily found. (It being a disease which almost disappears during warm weather to reappear in cold. )
As a result several cases of Scabies were found and quaran- tined until treated and all danger of contagion removed. It is needless to state at this time that any one who has passed through a siege of this malady will ever be caught in a like condition again but be ever on his guard and commence treatment on first symp- toms.
During the year between 500 and 600 head of cattle have been brought into town from Maine and Vermont, by different shippers, some of which reacting to the test had to be destroyed at the shipper's loss, for which he receives no remuneration. The cattle throughout the town in general appeared better physically than on provious inspections, which speaks well for the owners of cattle.
While some have failed to make the much needed improve- ments, perhaps due more to oversight than lack of interest, I shall still suggest and try to have all needed improvements made. I believe the campaign of clean milk and milk products is one of · education rather than force and the sooner that owners are led to believe that it is better to be clean and healthy than otherwise, the better all will be for that campaign of education.
-
147
This same state of affairs exists in the care of the milk after it reaches the consumer for often times the products are good and clean until received at the home but soon become contaminated there from lack of care.
I wish all would do what little they can towards handling this problem of clean products in clean methods from healthy stock and no doubt all will be better and none feel the extra duties called for or slight expense incurred by so doing.
I wish at this time to thank all owners of stock and others who have acted so loyally towards me and in so doing aided me greatly in performing my duties. I shall be pleased to hear of anything of a suspicious nature that needs investigating from any source and will endeavor to investigate at once.
Yours respectfully, C. U. PLAYDON,
Inspector of Animals.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR CF MEATS AND PROVISIONS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
I beg to submit the following report. I was appointed as inspector May 1, 1911, and since that time to Jan. 1, 1912, I have visited the licensed slaughter houses within the town and have inspected 285 hogs and pigs, many of them small pigs for roasters and of that number 11 of them were condemned as unfi for food and delivered to the Whitman Pratt Rendering Plant for which I have receipts.
I also examined 41 carcasses of beef, one of which showed signs of tuberculosis. Also 173 veals, seven of which perhaps not showing signs of disease were under weight and unfit for food.
Respectfully submitted, JJ. HOWARD EAMES, Inspector of Meats and Provisions.
On account of the illness of Henry W. Eames the former Inspector of Meats and Provisions, I was appointed to fill his place and from January 1, 1911 to May 1, 1911, I inspected and stamped as fit for food 472 hogs and pigs and condemned 35 which were disposed of by rendering ; 21 carcasses of beef were stamped and 5 condemned.
302 Calves were inspected of which number 33 were con- demned as unfit for food.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT C. BARROWS.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Wilmington :
During the year 1911 town trees were very fortunate, there was little or no damage done by storms or high winds. During the past year there has been considerable trimming done, both low and dead branches have been removed both for the good of public safety, and also for the tree and in regard to elm leaf beetle all the street trees and those requested by property owners were sprayed and found satisfactory, that being the only effective means.
On Burlington avenue there were thirty-three maple trees given by Mr. F. H. Roberts and set out by the town.
The gypsy and brown-tail moths being handled by law and seems to be suppressed effectively.
Respectfully submitted,
OLIVER A. McGRANE, Tree Warden.
