Increase the past year $561 81


The bonded debt of the Town has been increased the past


9


year in the sum of $40,000.00, to pay for 400 shares of stock in the extension of the Duxbury and Cohasset Railroad to Kingston, as authorized by a vote of the Town.


The water loan, amounting to $102,000, remains the same, but the sinking fund, authorized by the Town to retire that portion of the bonds falling due June 1st, 1875, has been increased to the sum of $11,224, and will, it is estimated by the Trustees, accumulate before the maturity of the bonds by interest and dividends from the same, so that the amount necessary to be raised to retire the bonds will not excee d $500.00, and which is recommended as an appropriation to meet it.


The funded debt of the Town, as will appear by the state- ment, amounts to $45,174.65, with balance on hand in the shape of taxes, &c., which will reduce it to $27,526.78, and which shows an increase in the debt over last year of $561.81.


The increase is occasioned by payments on account of new steam fire engine, Cedarville school-house, and change of pipe between A. G. Morton's and G. W. Cobb's, and fitting up tem- porary location for new steamer, in all $5,754.00, less the difference in overdrawn balances from last year and increased revenue over estimates. The appropriations to meet the above payments were made after the annual meeting, and the Select- men were authorized to hire money for the same. The pay- ments have been met from the Treasury without recourse to loans, and shows a more favorable exhibit than was anticipated when the appropriations were made.


In case the different departments shall confine themselves strictly to the appropriation, the debt will not be increased, and the burden of taxes may hereafter be lightened, which is desirable in view of the depressed state of business, which makes taxation still more burdensome.

10


There should be a steady purpose maintained to reduce as fast as possible, without increasing the present rate of taxation, the funded and temporary debt which was incurred chiefly during the years of the war, and which it has been the intention should be gradually reduced until it is fully paid. As the appropriations for this year will be reduced, and allow a reduction of the debt, an appropriation of $2,000.00 is recom- mended for that purpose.


There are no claims or unsettled accounts against the Town known to the Selectmen except in the Poor department, and the result in those cases is not likely to result unfavorably to the Town, as the claims we have against other towns will fully offset, it is thought, any claims upon us. The item of uncollected taxes is a large one, and if some plan for a more prompt col- lection can be devised, it would relieve the wants of the Treasury, and require a less resort to loans, which is desirable. A larger sum remains uncollected than at the close of last year ; a considerable portion of the amount is an individual tax. Not- withstanding the high rate of interest charged to delinquent tax-payers, the loss to the Town, by reason of inability from various causes to pay an accumulation of taxes, which could have been met more easily when small, will offset what other- wise would appear a gain on the part of the town.

The annual interest on Town debt, exclusive of water debt, has been increased in the sum of $2,830, to provide for interest on bonds for stock in Duxbury and Cohasset Railroad and indi- vidual loans, and which makes the interest to be provided for annually, including interest on temporary loans in anticipation of taxes, as estimated on the basis of last year, $6,210.48, as the amount may be varied by the temporary loans, which cannot be correctly estimated. An appropriation of $4,500 to pro- vide for the same, in addition to the balance on hand, is recommended.

The deficiency in the above account has been caused chiefly for enlargement and repairs on the Chiltonville school-house for which no special appropriation was made.


The Committee hope to provide for the same out of the appropriation for this year, and recommend the same appropri- ation as last year, viz., $15,500.

The expenditures on the Water Works, exclusive of interest on scrip, has been $5,108.63, about $2,500 of which is for exten- sions and change of pipe between A. G. Morton's and G. W. Cobb's, leaving the sum of $2,608, as the general expense of management, materials, &c. The report of the Commissioners will more fully, it is expected, explain the different items of expenditure.


The income from Water Works has increased, although in the above receipts are included a considerable sum which was


13


in arrears at the commencement of the year. The annual income, if fully collected, will, it is estimated, amount to about $8,500.


It has been the practice for some time to draw from this fund for extensions, whenever the Commissioners should decide that the same would pay six per cent. upon the cost, and which has not in all cases warranted the estimated income. The large outlay made last year, in extending the water pipes to the Clif- ford House, has not as yet paid but a fraction of the interest on its cost, while not one dollar has as yet been collected from the Clifford House, for whose benefit the extension was chiefly made, and the only income is derived from the few takers on the route.


The Selectmen would recommend that in future only the interest on scrip, and expenses of general management and repairs, should be charged to this account, and that all exten- sions should be provided for by direct appropriation, and only when authorized by the Town. This would allow the surplus income, if any, to be appropriated to a sinking fund, and which would retire a portion of the bonds falling due in 1885.


The amount of uncollected water rents on the Collector's books is $935.71, of which only about $500.00 is considered good. A portion of the balance may be collected ; but in esti- mating it as assets of the Town, it would not be safe to include it.


The vote passed by the Town last Spring which instructed the Water Commissioners to cause the water to be shut off from all parties in arrears until the same should have been fully paid, has not been fully complied with, and the result is seen in the item of uncollected water rents.


The vote should be strictly complied with, otherwise the Town loses not only the interest on all such amounts outstanding, but


14


in many cases the entire amount. As no penalty attaches to water rents in arrears, as in the case of taxes, to reimburse the town, there is no inducement for the taker to pay his rent, and no fears that he will lose it unless the law is promptly enforced.


The deficiency in this account will be provided for from income, and no appropriation is recommended.

The sum expended on Roads and Bridges the past year, de- ducting the earnings of teams in other departments has been $7,152.37, from which should be deducted the expenses of build- ing a wall to support the road at Cobb's Valley, and the re- building of the lower bridge and abutments at Eel River, at an expense of $1,000, which was not contemplated when the appropriation was made, and is an unusual expenditure.


15


The abutments which supported the lower bridge at Eel River had for some time shown signs of weakness, and temporary sup- ports had been supplied which it was thought would protect it for some time. The spring rains and frost had, however, so far weakened it as to make it unsafe, and a portion of one of the abutments had fallen. It became necessary to rebuild it and to raise the wall, and increase the thickness of the abutments, as well as extend them above and below the bridge, and con- struct wings to support the road bed on the south side, and also to provide new sleepers as well as a large part of the covering, for which was expended the sum of $450. The rise on the north side of the bridge which was of steep grade and difficult for loaded teams has been reduced from three to four feet and filled beyond, and is with the bridge a permanent improvement.


There has, also, been purchased an additional horse, and the teams and equipments kept in repair, all of which has been charged to this department; aside from these, the amount strictly chargeable to Roads and Bridges, including snow, has been about $5,650. The roads have been kept, it is believed, in good repair, and improvements have been made on Summer street, at its junction with Market street, and on Sandwich and Water streets. The grade of Vernon and Prospect streets has been completed and improvements made in other sections of the Town.


The difficulty of obtaining suitable material for the repair of roads is yearly increasing, and the distance from which, in many cases, it is obtained adds materially to the cost.


The gutters on many of the streets of steep grades need pav- ing. to prevent the washing away of the road bed and constant repairs, and it will be economy to apply a portion of the appro- priation yearly for this purpose. Unless snow bills yet to accrue, shall come in to change the estimates already made,


16


it is believed the sum of $7,000 will leave as much for repairs and improvements as last year, and complete the paving of a portion of the streets most needing it.


The property of the Town belonging to the Road department and which has been paid for out of the appropriations from time to time, and now in good condition, is viz. :


4 Horses,


4 Gravel Carts,


2 Single Truck Wagons,


1 Double Horse Wagon,

The work contemplated on New Roads at the commencement of the year has been only partially completed.


A contract was made in July last, with Mr. Phillip H. Haskell for the construction of the Rocky Hill road from the commence- ment at the land of F. B. Cobb, to the intersection with the road at Taylor's Farm in South Plymouth, to be completed June 1, 1875, for the sum of $6,517, on which there has been paid the sum of $2,047.02.


That portion of the road from Taylor's Farm to the intersec- tion with the main road, near the meeting-house, has been built under the direction of Mr. Clark, one of the Board, and has cost the sum of $890.55. The widening of Market and Water streets has been completed at a cost of $691, and the Holmes road, so-called, at Manomet, has been partially worked, the cost so far, including land damages awarded, is $204.31. The work- ing of Oak street was commenced in November, and the larger part of the grading has been completed at a cost to Dec. 31st, of $798.18. Action has been taken by the Selectmen for the discontinuing of that portion of Oak street, as laid out south of the cut, and through the land of J. T. Stoddard and Mrs. Field, and for an alteration of the road from the cut to Summer street, near the house of Mrs. Field, which will straigthen and improve the road without materially adding to its cost.


The Commissioners extended the time for the widening and straightening of the road at Manomet, at the Mill site, and the working of the road on both sides of the bridge, until Novem- ber, 1875, and which will require working the present year. The road leading from the Main street to Seaside depot will also have to be worked the present year, in connection with the Town of Kingston.


To provide for the balance due the contractor on the com-


3


18


pletion of the Rocky Hill road, and to complete the working of the roads ordered by the Town and Commissioners, the sum of $5,700 will be required, in addition to the balance to the credit of the department.


At a meeting of the Town, held June 22d, 1874, an appropri- ation of $3,000, in addition to former appropriations was placed at the disposal of the Selectmen, to meet what was supposed would be a deficiency in New Road department. The delay in completing the roads did not require a resort to the appropria- tion, and as the sum which will be required the present year is included in the appropriations of this year, the Selectmen recommend that the appropriation of June 22d, 1874, for $3,000 be cancelled, and so recorded on the books of the Town.

The large payments and deficiency in this department is caused by a settlement and payment of a claim by the Town of Sandwich for the support of an insane pauper, amounting to $662.76.


As the number now supported outside of the Alms-house is reduced to five persons, the Overseers recommend an appropri- ation of $1,500 to provide for the deficiency and meet the urrent expenses of the year.

The deficiency, as well as large expenditure, of this year is caused by the payment of a new Hook and Ladder carriage, costing $600, and the pay of a portion of the Fire department up to the time when the volunteer companies went into service, amounting to $328.63; this occasioned the payment which otherwise would not have been payable until May 1st, 1875.


The Engineers report the department in good condition, with the exception that a portion of the old hose should be replaced by new each year until the whole should be fully replaced, and some additional hydrants set, as a less sum will be required the coming year for the pay of the firemen, and no unusual expen- diture is anticipated.


The Engineers recommend an appropriation of $1,500 to meet the current expenses and deficiency, and the purchase with the balance, if any, of new hose.

There is due to this account from the sale of lots not yet col- lected, the sum of $137.90, against which, are bills not paid of $80, which with the above deficiency leaves a balance to the credit of the account of $27.95.


The report of the Superintendent gives a transcript from the books of the Town, of the receipts and expenditures to date, including the purchase of the land. The sums appropriated by the Town in the past have been large, and it has been the pol- icy of the Selectmen since the main avenues were graded and grounds fenced, to apply the sum received from the sale of lots to the care and general improvments of the grounds, without asking of the Town any appropriations.


The sums derived from the sale of lots the Selectmen recom- mend be applied as usual, and no appropriation is asked for.
