You will notice that we have again increased our debt. This time to the amount of $783.64. This is a small but we should be reducing our debt. We must raise more taxes the coming year. You can plainly see that the schools costs $13,634.62 while the resources for same for 1914 amounted to only $12,700.93. With the same expense for 1915, the present tax will not support the schools.

Selectmen's Report


We present the following report which covers the labors of the board during the past year There has been more work done on culverts and bridges the last year than common, causing an outlay of between five and six hundred dollars. Douglass bridge was properly repaired, and new cement culverts were made on the road near to railroad station, Landon and Leonard place. We believe in the future concrete should be used instead of timber, saving an annual expense of buying so many planks. In this report we offer no "Recapitulation," but request the tax payers to read over every order drawn and what it is drawn for and come to our March meeting with an honest purpose in view to reduce expenses if we can do it and still have an up-to-date town. It has been hinted that the guard rails from the Maclure library on the south side of the highway to the Dr. Walker place are an expensive necessity, but your selectmen were only too glad to comply with Dr. Walker's wishes and have a good looking guard rail as well as a substantial one. To a man that has tapped the springs on "Nickwackett" five miles away and fur- nished the town with the best of water, with the income from the investment to go for the purchase of books for the Maclure library, housed in the Walker Memorial Build- ing, that he so generously gave to the Town of Pittsford, the Selectmen have no apology to make, but rather an ever lasting "Thank You" from the present generation, and a belief that future generations will continue to receive even better than ourselves. We are very glad to note that we have reduced the debt the last year, and urge the tax payers to continue in the reduction of the same.


All of which we submit to your consideration.

Report of School Directors


The School Board respectfully submit the following report:


To meet the requirements of the State Board of Health, we have been obliged to make extensive alterations in two school houses, and minor alterations, and improvements on some others, at heavy expense to the town.


We have installed two jacket stoves at an approximate cost of $200. We have likewise graded the school grounds, which, should have been done by the building committee, at a cost of $493.18, a portion of which will be returned to the town by the state, and the balance we hope to receive in time from outside sources. Besides it removes the necessity of the annual donation to the school athletic association of $25.00, which has been the policy of the town for many years. We have paid in excess teachers' salaries, required by the new school laws $522.00, which will be returned to the town, with a like sum, at the end of the school year, making $1,044.00 due us June 30, 1916.


Because of the steadily increasing requirements of the State Board of Education, the Board of School Directors respect- fully request a larger school appropriation, pointing out the fact that we do not receive 70 per cent. of the Grand List as voted, but only 65 per cent.


Number of pupils enrolled 534.


Respectfully submitted,


T. J. HAGAN, - School Directors.
