REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
In compliance with the provisions of Art. 4, of the By- Laws of the town, the following report is respectfully submitted.
REPORT.
To the citizens of Braintree :
The ordinary business of the town being fully de- tailed in your Auditor's Report, we have only to make such statements in respect to our proceedings under the various votes of the town, and such recommenda- tions as the circumstances seem to require.
The work of widening and straightening West Street has been done under our own direction by the day. This plan was adopted for the reason, that the lowest bid, in reply to our advertisement for proposals for doing the work by contract, was nearly double the amount of the appropriation. We are pleased to be able to state, that by pursuing this course the work has been completed for a sum considerably less than the appropriation.
The amount appropriated for the improvement of Middle Street has been also expended under our own direction, and, we believe, in a manner advantageous to the town.
As by the order of the County Commissioners the work .
4
on this street must be completed the coming season, a further appropriation becomes necessary.
The bridge on Adams Street has been entirely rebuilt from the foundation, widened and raised at a cost somewhat in excess of the appropriation.
The work on the highways has, we believe, been done by the surveyors in an economical manner, and with proper regard for the needs of each portion of the town.
And in this connection we desire to express our obli- gation to Mr. Gilbert Nash, for the gift to the town of over three hundred loads of excellent gravel, nearly all of which was used on Quincy Avenue, in addition to that which was purchased.
In examining the accounts of the Overseers of the Poor, it will be observed that not only has the expense been increased over former years, but the prospect is that it will still continue to increase.
This may be accounted for by the great depression in business, which makes the labor of the poor man - which is his only means of support - without demand; and also by the Act of the Legislature of 1874, by which nearly all those who had been State paupers were settled in the places where they then had their residence.
We have, therefore, recommended a larger appropria- tion for the ensuing year.
Sometime in the month of August last, a suit was commenced against the town by Mr. Daniel McCue, for compensation for an injury, which he claims was sustained by his wife in consequence of an alleged defect in the highway.
The first knowledge we had of the matter was the
5
commencement of legal proceedings. No demand was made, and no intimation in any form was given us of the existence of such a claim.
We have since investigated the matter fully, and from all the evidence which we have been enabled to obtain, have arrived at the conclusion that the claim has no foundation in justice, and that the town should vigorously contest it.
