The select- men’s credits this vear, these repre- senting money received from the state and from all other sources of revenue, amount to $10,176.29, something less than last year, when the credits were $12,505.77. The amount of orders drawn by the selectmen this year, less the credits, is $17.143.39, last year less the credits, $24.722.81. The total road expense including all repairs. during the past year has been $6,134.56, and less the credits on this account the road cost for the twelve months covered b: the reports about to be issued will be brougit down to approximately $ OBITUARY.

Probal ty That Street Improvements Will Be Begun at Once. A meeting of the highway commit- tee of the common council was held Wednesday afternoon to discuss the matter of going ahead with the plans for Tmproving streets of the city in accordance with the vote of the spe- cial city meeting Tuesday. The committee’s deliberations had to do with which part of the work will be taken up first and as to replacing pipe lines by corporations using the street and other such considerations. Such suggestions as the comnpttee may conclude to offer to the comimon council relative to the work will be submitted to that body for approval before any definite action is taken. Unless a special meeting of the com- mon council is called to_ hear what- ever the highway committee may have to suggest the matter will not come up before the first Tuesday in Sep- tember. Thero seems to be an inclination, however, to avoid all unnecessary de- lay, so that the improvement work may be started as quickly as possible and concluded, if possible, before cold weather becomes a hindrance. The Putnam Light and Power com- pany is to replace pipes in some of the streets to be paved before the im- provement begins. This company may put a new 4-inch main in Union street, a very short street. On Elm street, from May to Providence, a 10-inch main may be put in. Consideration will be siven by the highway committee to removing the drinking fountain for horses from Union square, but whether this will be done or not may not be decided for some time.
