Report of the Building Committee:
Music Hall burned July 16, 1900, depriving the Masonic organizations of rooms and the Town of a hall for the tran- saction of its business and the great variety of gatherings that constitute so large a factor in the social and educational life of our 'community.
What was the best thing to do under the circumstances was the problem to be considered, and as a result of consulta- tion the Town and North Star Corporations each appointed a committee of three to consider the situation and report what in their judgment was the best plan to persue.
The committee for the town was Edmund Sullivan, Geo. N. Kent and F. D. Hutchins; that for North Star Cor- poration, Ezra Mitchell, I. W. Quimby and Garvin R. Ma- goon. The two committees, after many meetings and thor- ough discussion of the subject in all of its aspects, submitted their findings to an adjourned town meeting Dec. 15, 1900, which was adopted by the Town without a dissenting vote. The same was also adopted by the North Star Corporation a few days later. The two committees then organized as one body with Ezra Mitchell president, Geo. N. Kent secretary, and F. D. Hutchins treasurer.
Your committee after considering numerous plans fin- ally decided on the one of the present building, but in order to get a public hall of the present dimensions it was found necessary to ask for an additional appropriation of $3500 from Town and North Star Corporation, and in view of the fact that an arrangement could be and was made with the Fire Precinct to occupy their present quarters at a fair rental, the committee felt warranted in asking for the appropria- tion. Any smaller hall than the present one would have been unsatisfactory. Mr. A. I. Lawrence was engaged as architect and bids for the completed plans and specifications were asked for. Mr. John H. Smith of Lancaster giving the
lowest bid was awarded the contract. The Thompson Mfg. Co. being the lowest bidder was given the contract for the heating plant. Mr. I. W. Quimby was appointed agent of · the Building Committee to have especial oversight from day to day as the work on the building progressed.
Mr. J. H. Smith's contract was for a foundation wall nine feet deep, but on excavating it was found that it would be necessary to go three or four feet deeper to secure a thor- oughly satisfactory rock bottom which made an extra cost of about $1,200.
The whole cost of the building and furnishings was $35,175.03 but it is worth today $8,000 to $10,000 more than it has cost.

We have paid A. I. Lawrance, architect, the sum (f $800, which is within $180 of contract. The balance being withheld by the committee owing to defects in plans for con- structton of gallery, which increased cost about the amount withheld. Mr. Lawrance has notified us that he has brought suit for recovery of this sum. Acting upon advise of town's counsel we have paid no attention to notice.
The committee has on hand quite a lot of stone suitable for curbing, the avails of which when sold will be turned over to town and corporation. The town authorites used some of this stone last summer for which they have not accounted.

SIDEWALKS.
Below we give account of money expended on side walks. We hired an experienced man to take charge of the work and bought material and hired men instead of contracting as has been done before. We feel that the experiment has been a success, as our foreman was in- structed to use such material and labor as was neces- sary to do first-class work, and 895 yards of new walk. 98 yards new crossings and 1347 yards covering were done, making a total of 2340 vards of concrete work at an average cost of 48kgc. a yard. The lowest price at which we could have contracted the above work was 50c. a yard for covering. 75c. a yard for new walks and $1.00 a yard for new crossings, thus showing a saving to the town of $309.14. While we have exceeded the appropriation, we feel that the condition of our side- walks warranted the outlay.

MACADAM ACCOUNT.
By vote of town we were authorized to move crush- ing plant from land owned by W. G. Baker to town land, if wecould not make satisfactory trade with Baker for rock. The five-year contract with Mr. Baker, whereby he had delivered crushed rock on our streets at 85c. a cubic yard, having expired, and his new price being $1.20 a cubic yard delivered on streets, we de- cided to move.
As will be seen below, the cost of moving, laying foundation, building roads and making repairs on buildings and crusher was $491.75.
We crushed 1033 cubic yards of rock and delivered the same on Main Street at a cost of $1004.28, or 98c. a cubic yard. The plant is now in good running order, and we are of the opinion that $1.00 a cubic yard is a safe estimate for rock delivered on any street in the village.

WATCHMAN'S CLOCK SYSTEM.
We have established a winding system for our night watchman, which we believe will be a source of satisfac- tion to the taxpayers and also to the watchman. The system consists of five winding stations located between the corner of Main and High streets and a point in front of the Williams House, covering the entire business part of the town.
The central station is in the town building and reg- isters the exact time that each of the five stations is rung in, giving a record of each night's work, which can be referred to at any time.
