JOHN E. WEBSTER, Collector.
AUDITORS' REPORT.
Your auditors have put in over a week's time in going over the accounts of the Collector. We have gathered to_ gether quite a mass of figures but we do not feel that they are sufficiently accurate to be printed in the annual report. According to the books of the tax collector the uncollected taxes on Feb. 15 amounted to $30,188.49. In lieu of a more detailed report your auditors would at this time make several recommendations which in our opinion would improve the tax situation of the town.
We would recommend that the selectmen give the col- lector a list of the polls to be collected in the month of April instead of waiting until the property tax is committed to him in the middle of the summer.
To comply with the statute the property tax should be committed to the collector on or before June 30, and in mak_ ing the appraisal the selectmen should take care to tee that all requirements of the statutes are complied with.
It appears that poll taxes can only be collected successfully
50
by personal solicitation and we would recommend that so far as possible a demand be made for the payment of all poll taxes in April. If not paid on demand, payment should be enforced.
It has become customary for the Town to purchase practi cally all taxes sold by the collector. This condition should not prevail. Outsiders should buy these taxes and they would were all legal requirements more strictly complied with, particularly the requirement that the taxes be committed to the collector on or before June 30. After a sale of taxes has been made, there are further requirements in regard to notices which should be complied with. All mortgagees should be notified by the purchaser within 30 days after the sale. To enable the Town to do this, the list should be handed to the selectmen at once and they should notify all mortgagees within the 30 days ctherwise the sale is void as to the mort- gagees.
If it should be necessary for the Town to purchase any taxes a more careful record should be kept in order that the auditors can tell whether the same have ever been paid, to whom they were paid and the amount collected. The select- men alone should be responsible for these taxes. If they are not paid within two years the selectmen should demand & deed from the collector.
Several large taxpayers have formed the habit of letting their taxes run for several years and then compromising with the Town by paying merely the face of the tax. All property taxes are collectible together with interest and costs. The proper way to handle such cases would be to sell the tax and the purchaser should demand a deed at the expiration of two years. Or the selectmen may authorize suit brought on any tax-
Abatements should be made by the selectmen only after careful consideration of each case, and when it has been deci- ded to abate any taxes, an abatement list should be handed to
51
the collector rather than to give him an order on the treasurer for the amount abated.
The selectmen should call for the collector's books monthly and together with the treaserer should check up the same.
The collector in remitting to the treasurer should indi- cate what years taxes are included in the remittance and the amount of each and at the end of each month he should hand to the treasurer and selectmen an itemized list of all collec- tions for the month.
The selectmen should not draw an order on the treasurer for taxes sold to the town and for taxes abated, to do this makes the cash collections appear larger than they really are.
Finally we recommend that the town auditors make a careful audit of the books of the collector after the March meeting when there is more time to make a careful examination. All worthlesss and uncollectible taxes should be abated, and the balance should be collected, and in this balance we would include the large amount sold to the Town. In fact we would recommend the greatest tax clean up the Town has ever known.

FIREWARDS' REPORT.
DERRY FIRE DISTRICT.
FROM APRIL 1, 1916 TO FEBRUARY 15, 1917.
Your board of firewards submit herewith to the voters of the Derry fire district the following report for the year ending - February 15, 1917:
In accordance with votes passed at the last annual election your board of firewards have transacted the business of the district as in their judgement seemed to be for the best in- terests of the community.
In the first place we purchased a high power car and made the same over into a tractor for the hook & ladder truck, and we think we are safe in saying there is none better in existence for the money expended. The roof of the tower has been repaired as per your vote. Your board have tried in every way to make the fire-fighting force and equipment the standard of efficiency and strength.
We hereby beg leave to thank the business men of the town for the encouragement we have received from them.
We have had during the past year 73 calls as follows: 17 bell alarms, of this number seven were for chimney fires; 41 still alarms for chimney fires, of this number 15 were handled with small garden hose alone, the rest required chemicals also; eight still alarms for small blazes in woodboxes, partitions, and oil stoves, all handled by the use of the chemical on the big truck; three still alarms for brush, where chemicals and garden hose were all that was necessary; four calls out ot the district as follows; John Condon, Londonderry; Tewksbury
57
Crossing; the Clark place of the H. P. Hood & Sons, and the H. P. Hood & Sons' haystack fire.
The two principal fires of the district were the Taintor stable, with an estimated value on property of $34,000, insur- ance on same $9,500, and the Lafayette block, $6,000, damaged $1,394; total property involved by fire, $40,000. total damage $1,880.
We desire to thank the men for their ready response at all times,
Respectfully submitted, W. F. CHASE, E. J'. TROWBRIDGE, Firewards.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH.
Most of the cesspools have been cared for when needed as Mr. Wells has a standing order to look out for them and tries to do so, and there has been very few complaints as most owners are anxious and willing to keep their property in sanitary condition.
There were 40 cases of scarlet fever, 14 of measles and three of diphtheria and quite a number of whooping cough, this last was not reported to any extent so the exact number is not known. All must remember whooping cough MUST be reported as well as any other disease and the same penalty is applicable for not doing so.
A new ruling by the State Board is that hereafter any assistance to a quarantined family must come through the family applying direct to the Selectmen, not through the Health Officer.
The largest part of expense of the office of Board of Health has been in the assistance rendered to quarantined families.
From now on under proper precautions the bread winner of the family is to be allowed to continue in his daily occupa- tion and still live at home, thereby being put to no extra expense, will not be entitled to assistance on account of quarantine. These are the latest instructions from the State Board.
Respectfully, WALTER R. SANDERS, M. D. Health Officer.

The work of the year 1916 was very satisfactory so far. as results appear. Notwithstanding the increased cost of coal, and of materials needed in the general and special work of the system, we think a very good financial showing is: made. The expenses at the pumping station, for repairs and additions, were very small during the year, but considerable time and expense has been required in making repairs and additions to the pipe system. The report submitted by the Superintendent thoroughly covers every detail of the plant's condition, resources and expenditures.
WILLIAM NELLER, WILLIAM T. MORSE, Commissioners.
MICHAEL J. CASSIDY,
TO THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Superintend- ent for the year ending December 31, 1916.

As soon as Spring opened, work was started on an exten sion on Pinkerton St., 1160 ft. of six inch cast iron pipe was laid and a hydrant placed near the Bradford farm.
The two dead ends, one on Park avenue and the other on Oak St., have been connected along Grove St. with 360 ft. of four inch cast iron pipe.
On Wyman St. 950 ft. of one and a half inch pipe has been relaid with six inch pipe and a hydrant placed at the corner of Wyman St. and Hillside Ave.
The old hydrant at the corner of East Broadway and Mt. Washington St., has been replaced with a new Corey .
steamer hydrant.
Twenty-five new service pipes have been laid and seven old ones relaid with cement lined pipe.
No repairs of any importance have been made at the pumping station this year.
Besides furnishing men and supplies for the steam roller and sprayer as has been our custom, we have done consider- able work on the sewer.
We have paid all running expenses: $2,897.06 for exten- sions; $4,690.00 interest on bonds; and have a balance of $3,213.49.
