IN SENATE, April 27, 1850.
"The Joint Special Committee, to whom were committed the petitions of Elbridge Green and others, and of Henry Hyde and others, in aid thereof, &c., praying that a part of the town of Malden may be set off and incorporated by the name of Melrose,
REPORT:
That, by request, they have viewed the premises, have given a full hearing to the parties and their witnesses, and due con- sideration to the arguments of counsel.
The petition of Elbridge Green and others, prays that the north part of Malden, according to a line therein described, may be set off and incorporated as a town. It appeared in evidence, and on examination, that this territory contains about 2,600 acres, and, at present, about 1,200 inhabitants ; that this portion of the town has grown up almost entirely within a few years, and is now rapidly increasing; that the present popula- tion is mostly foreign to the town of Malden, composed, prin- cipally, of families and persons who have removed to that place from other towns and the city of Boston. The Boston and Maine Railroad passes through the village, and affords facilities for carrying passengers to and from their places of business.

TOWN OF MELROSE.
[April,
This part of the town, which bears the name of Melrose, is separated from the other by a natural barrier ; the proposed line of division running through a wild, unimproved, and almost uninhabitable territory, constituting, in most respects, a far better boundary than a line passing through a cultivated and populous region, cutting farms, and separating immediate neigh- bors into different towns.
The business and social relations of Melrose are not with the other portions of Malden ; it seems to form a distinct commu- nity, and, in the opinion of the committee, is destined to be- come a separate town, and that a separation would contribute to the convenience, harmony, and prosperity of the inhabitants, and would be no injury or disadvantage to the remaining part of Malden. It would leave a fine, pleasant, and prosperous town, within full view, and in the immediate vicinity of Bos- ton, affording many eligible building sites, and containing nu- merous valuable farms.
It was evident to the committee, that, from the pleasant situ- ation of the town, and the improvements which are already commenced, intended to afford greater facilities for intercourse with other places, the south part of Malden, in the course of a few years would be filled up by the overflowing population of Boston; and that any apprehensions that the centre village would control the other part of the town, would thus be hap- pily removed.
The town, on the report of a committee appointed to survey a line, voted in favor of the division, and instructed their rep- resentative to advocate it.
The following copies from their records of the proceedings of the town, were produced. These resolves and votes were adopted, as it appeared in evidence, at a full meeting, and by a very large majority.
At a legal meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Malden, held November 26, 1849,
Voted, To choose a committee to view and report to the town, such line as the committee shall think to be the proper line between the town of Malden and the proposed town of Melrose. Chose the selectmen said committee.

SENATE-No. 122.
1850.]
At a legal meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Malden, held December 21st, 1849, the selectmen made the following report, on the dividing line between Malden and the proposed town of Melrose. The committee chosen by the town, at their last meeting, to examine the location and report, in their opin- ion, the most feasible course for the division line between Mal- den and the proposed town of Melrose, have attended to the duty assigned them, and make the following report, to wit :- Beginning at the monuments of North Chelsea and Saugus ; thence running north 88º 12' west to the Medford line, being 1º 48' north of a west line, and 635 feet from the north base of Island Hill, on Maine street, to a pile of stones on the east side of said street, and 167 feet south of the mile stone, and near the southern base of Round Hill; and on Washington street, 122 feet north of the land of Robert T. Barrett's on said street, and the most northerly corner of said Barrett's land, near and adjoining the land of John J. Mahoney, and on the Medford line 1,290 feet south of the Medford and Stoneham monument.
Voted, To accept the report of the selectmen on the division line between Malden and the proposed town of Melrose.
Voted, To instruct the representative elect, that, if the in- habitants of Melrose petition the Legislature for the division line, to be as reported by the selectmen at this meeting, to advocate the setting off of Melrose; but if, any other line be asked for by the inhabitants of Melrose, then to oppose the setting off.
True copy of record.
Attest, B, G. HILL, Town Clerk.
At a legal meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Malden, held February 7th, 1850, the following preamble and resolu- tions were adopted by vote of the town, to wit :- That whereas, a petition has been presented to the Legislature by Elbridge Green and others, praying that the northerly section of Malden may be set off and incorporated as a separate town, to be called Melrose, and whereas an order of notice has been issued on said petition, therefore,
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Malden, in town meeting assembled, called according to law, to act on said order of notice, do hereby express our approval of said petition.

TOWN OF MELROSE.
[April,
Resolved, That the line of separation petitioned for is a proper line, and one that meets our approval, and which, in our opinion, ought to be adopted, and the prayer of said petition granted.

Resolved, That the town clerk cause an attested copy of the preamble and these resolutions to be presented to the Legisla- ture as soon as may be.
True copy of record.

IN SENATE, April 1, 1852.
The Second Joint Standing Committee on Towns, to which was committed the petition of Walter Littlefield and others, to set off a part of the town of Stoneham and annex the same to Melrose, and certain remonstrances against the same,
REPORT:
The Committee have fully heard the petitioners, and the town of Stoneham which opposes the petition, and have also visited the territory which is asked to be set off to Melrose. This territory contains about 381 acres, situated at the extreme easterly part of Stoneham. It has about twenty-five houses, and seventy-five inhabitants. All the legal voters in the ter- ritory, with three exceptions, are very desirous of being an- nexed to Melrose, and such is the general and really universal feeling of the inhabitants. The people of the other part of Stoneham are opposed to the separation. But we have not considered their wishes as at all affecting our decision, since they would be regarded as having no rightful claim to retain this territory against the wishes of its inhabitants.
We found the territory in question close to the village of Melrose ; two houses, indeed, are divided by the town line,
