The increase in the amount appropriated for current ex penses at
the last annual town meeting has enabled the treasurer to pay the
bills and notes that were due and remaining ui ] aid, a-J d a ..o to meetthe expenses of the town for the current } ear. Ihe } trmanent debt
of the town has been reduced the past year obom -:.000.00 Last
year $1,000 00 was voted to be raised for the building of a new engine
house. The work has been commenced, and the land and stone workfor the foundation has been paid for, as will be seen by the report,
but no part of the contract for the house is yet paid, it si ill remainingunfinished. The expense for roads and bridges during the past year
has been larger than usual. The road leading to Timber hill has beenbuilt at an expense of S523.72, for which $500.00 was appropriated,
and the road leading from No. Main St. to Manning St. is nearly
finished. The amount appropriated for that road was S700.00, whichamount has already been paid and it will probably require $350.00 to
finish it. The amount (about $1300.00) pud for ths repair of bridges,
caused mostly by the freshets of the preceeding winter was more than
was anticipated, but, we are confident that the thorough manner in
which the work has been done, will meet the approval of the public.
In building the ice house at the town's farm the past summer, the
cost was somewhat increased, by removing all the dairy work into it
from the main house, which has proved a great convenience.
The hay barn at the farm is in need of repairs. The sills are de-
cayed and need renewing, and some chin res in the interior are nec-
essary to make it more convenient. An article in the warrant for
this year will call the attention of the town to the subjeci.
The whole cumber inmates at the farm the year past was 19.
. the average number 15 1-2, the present number 13. The cost for sup
28
port was $1.43 each per week.
| The selectmen submit the following estimate of money needed to
meet the ordinary expenses of the town for the en ,uing year. Forschools, $7500; for highways, $5000; for current expense *, $11000.
