Grade Crossings.
The one great question in the minds of the people of Attleborough at the present time is that of the aboli- tion of grade crossings. We are pleased to report that we feel greatly encouraged in our work and, although the progress may to many seem slow and the way tedious, yet we have made a very substantial beginning. Our commis- sion has been appointed, several hearings have been held, and we can see nothing in the way at present to hinder this work. We must all remember it is a work of consider- able magnitude, that several interests are involved, inas- much as the State, the railroad company, the electric railroads and the Town together must be consulted and together must pay the expense ; therefore the work must necessarily be slow. Yet we have faith to believe that when completed one of the greatest problems confronting the town will have been accomplished and the future growth and prosperity of our town will be enhanced.
Sidewalks.
We would again recommend liberal appropriations to be made for the extension and improvement of our sidewalks to accommodate the many hundreds who use them daily.
Street Sprinkling.
The streets of our town we think were well sprink- led during the past season and as the town is continually adding new streets and new houses are being rapidly built thereon and in view of the fact that our fire horses
9
must be kept nearer the engine houses than formerly, we recommend that an appropriation sufficiently large be made so that an additional watering cart may be pur- chased and operated during the dryest and hottest sea- son. We believe it will be money well invested and in a manner our people can and will appreciate.
Street Lights.
The street lighting for the past year has been very satisfactory. Many lights have been added and the sys- tem somewhat changed, as quite a few arc lights have been discontinued and the same amount of money used in the many incandescent lamps now in use.
The superintendent of the electric lighting plant in- forms us that early in the coming spring they are to greatly improve the street lights in our town. We are of the opinion that an increase in the appropriation for street lights is warranted, that the lights may be extend- ed to those of our citizens who as yet have not received the benefits of them.
Soldiers' Relief.
Last year was an unusually severe one on our old soldiers and the amount appropriated was sufficient to supply as we believe every need. While we ask for the same amount this year the citizens may feel assured that those men who served the country in those thrilling days in the history of our country from 1861 to '65 and their dependents will be cared for.
10
Police Department.
Attleborough, we believe, is still the banner town in the Commonwealth, having nearly or quite 12,000 inhabi- tants and no police force. Many towns of less inhabi- tants expend from three to five times as much as our town does. All honor and credit is due to the character and habits of our citizens for this unusual state of affairs. Therefore, we recommend the same appropriation as last year for patrolmen and special police work.
Thacher Brook Drain.
Thacher Brook Drain opens up quite a problem and we will bring it before the voters in town meeting by having an article in the warrant calling their attention thereto and opening up the question for debate and action.
Current and Incidental Expenses.
The expenses chargeable to this account have been somewhat unusually large this year, caused by the few cases of smallpox in our town, but the Board of Health managed the cases so judiciously and economically that we should congratulate ourselves as a town on the very small expense when compared to other towns and cities in this vicinity where smallpox has been prevalent. This account seems to be the one to draw from for nearly every expense not otherwise provided for. We would recommend the same amount be appropriated as last year.
