REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
THE Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth respectfully submit their report for the year ending December 31. 1873, with the schedule of receipts and expenditures annexed. as follows : -
In the department of roads, we have expended the whole of the appropriation for the current year, and a portion of the balance of the appropriation for the year 1872, which was not expended during that year ; but we do not anticipate a necessity for quite as large an ex- pense in that department for the ensuing year.
The streets built, or widened and straightened during the year, under our direction, are as follows, viz. : The new street from North to Green Street, for which we propose the name of Shaw Street; t new street from Bridge to Neck Street (in part), for which we pro- pose the name of Lovell Street; Commercial Street, between King, Oak Hill and Cottage Street (in part) ; the widening of Grove Street and its extension to Pleasant Street ; the widening of the travel path on Broad Street, between Middle and Essex streets, and the build- ing of a sidewalk on that street, between Essex Street and the house of Anthony Tracy ; the new street from Commercial near the railroad crossing, to Broad Street (in part), for which new street we propose the name of Webb Street; the new street leading easterly from Washington Street, at a point near the house of John Ford, for which we propose the name of Vine Street; West Street completed ; and
Pleasant Street, north of Washington Street (in part). We also recommend that the street extending from Pleasant Street to Cedar Street (a portion of which has heretofore been known as part of Grove Street, and the remainder is new), be named Maple Street. The streets already laid out which remain unwrought, are Lovell Street (in part) ; part of a section of Commercial Street, now mostly worked ; the widening of the travel path on Broad Street, to be com- pleted ; Hunt Street, the larger part of Webb Street, and the widen- ings and straightenings laid out by the county commissioners on Pleasant Street, north of Pine Street, which are not included in the workings of this year. In addition to these there will be such of the town ways to be reported by us at the annual meeting in March as the town shall accept, and direct to be worked. During the warm
4
season we employ two police officers in the evening and early part of the night, to aid in the preservation of order and quiet, and the re- sults were favorable to a continuance of such police, and to an increase of the number ; but we are of the opinion that the needs of the town require at least one, and perhaps two permanent officers, who shall de- vote their whole time to the preservation of the peace and the detec- tion of offenders against the laws. To effect this, it will be necessary to increase largely the appropriation for the police department.
The sum appropriated to the health department proved insufficient to meet all the demands made upon us, but when the town shall have received from the State the amount due it on account of expenses in- curred in the care of those patients who had no settlement in the Com- monwealth, and shall have sold or otherwise appropriated the hospital, a considerable balance will remain to the credit of this department.
The town debt, in accordance with the policy of the town, has been diminished during the year to such an amount as to justify the expec- tation that within a very few years that "blessing" will be entirely removed.
The guide-boards have been maintained in conformity with the requirements of law.
