Massachusetts avenue to the rear of the Town Hall, for the purpose
<br />of transmitting electricity for lighting purposes principally, which,
<br />when completed, will provide the town with two sources of supply.
<br />The town having voted to accept the act relative to building
<br />laws, no draft of a hill has yet been framed and accepted to conform
<br />to the requirements of this town.
<br />The revision of the town By -Laws, which is an important matter,
<br />is in the hands of a committee who will probably report at the
<br />annnal meeting.
<br />In the report of the Treasurer and Auditor may be found the
<br />receipts, expenditures and other matters pertaining to town finances.
<br />TOWN FARM
<br />The Overseers of the Poor have followed their customary policy
<br />during the past year of carefully investigating each case as it arises
<br />and paying only such claims as are necessary and worthy. A large
<br />part of the expenditure has been for poor living outside of the town,
<br />who gained a settlement in Lexington some time ago, and for which
<br />the town is legally liable. 'f he charitable societies and the 'Trustees
<br />of various funds left for that purpose have given unusually efficient
<br />service, and this department has been able through their assistance
<br />to aid many poor and unfortunate applicants.

<br />HiOHWAYs
<br />The highways received attention in the early spring, and the work
<br />was continued almost to the new year.
<br />The most important work was done on Waltham street, which the
<br />County Commissioners desired completed in accordance with the
<br />decree of 1907, but owing to the installing of a conduit by the
<br />Edison Company, work was stopped in October with the under-
<br />standing that the macadam be put down the ensuing year. When
<br />this work is completed it will be one of the best, if not the best
<br />street in town.
