REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
THE Selectmen of Weymouth respectfully submit their Report for the year ending Dec. 31, A. D. 1875, with the annexed schedule of receipts and expenditures, as follows : -
Although the history of the past year has been characterized by an almost unexampled depression in business, and by financial embarrass- ments and disasters of the greatest magnitude in all sections of this country, and especially in those portions principally devoted to manu- facturing pursuits, yet we believe our citizens have cause for gratitude in the fact that, as a whole, they have suffered less of hardship and deprivation and of pecuniary loss than those of many other communi- ties.
Generally prudent and conservative in their industrial enterprises and in their personal expenditures, as well as in the administration of their municipal affairs, the severe and protracted depression in all manufacturing interests, including those upon which they depend for bread, while it has without doubt greatly distressed many of our citi- zens, has in comparatively few instances utterly overwhelmed them. Without attempting to forecast the future, it is clear that for the present the practice of a still more rigid economy in municipal as well as in personal and industrial expenses is the path of safety and of duty.
Impressed with these convictions, the undersigned have, during the past year, hesitated to initiate measures which would lead to the imposition of burdens during the coming year which might without serious inconvenience be postponed to more prosperous days, and for that reason only they have decided not to report to the town at its next annual meeting the laying out of any new street or the widening of any old one. With the same purpose they have foreborne to incur expense in procuring a survey and estimates for the introduction of water from Great Pond for the use of our inhabitants, but have, in compliance with the vote of the town, simply. presented a petition to the General Court for authority to take this water, and requested that such petition should be referred to the next General Court. Our estimates for appropriations required for the ensuing year are based upon the principle that only so much tax should be raised as may seem
4
to be necessary to preserve and keep in efficient operation those agencies and means of civilization which already are in existence.
The expenditures upon roads during the past year have been materially augmented by the payment of considerable sums for land damages which had been awarded prior to the next preceding year, and the payment of which had been delayed on account of the dissat- isfaction of the land owners with the amount, or because of the non- completion of the improvements on the roads, and also by reason of the large expense incurred under a vote of the town in laying a drain at Weymouth Landing. In addition to building this drain the select- men have, during the year, worked or repaired the following streets, viz. -
In Ward One, the widening and filling of Commercial Street at Loud's Hill ; in Ward Two, the section of Essex Street between Mid- dle and Spring Streets, including a considerable amount of rock cut- ting ; a short section of Commercial Street near the junction of Station Street ; a section of Pleasant Street, and the portion of East Street between Commercial Street and the railroad; in Ward Three, the widening of Richmond Street near the school-house, and its extension to Webb St. ; the widening and grading of Hunt Street, and the par- tial grading of the northerly end of Keith Street, as extended; in Ward Four, a section of Pleasant Street, and the widening and grad- ing of Pine Street between Pleasant and Elm Streets; and in Ward Five, the building of the new highway from Pond to Randolph Streets, for which we recommend the name of Holbrook Street. In addition drains and drain-pipes have been laid, and railings erected in various places, as appears by the schedule.
The work upon roads remaining uncommenced or incomplete is as follows, viz. A short section of the southerly end of Neck Street, the widening and grading of North Street, between Commercial Street and Stepping-stone Bridge ; a small amount of filling at Loud's Hill; the grading of East Street, between the South Shore Railroad and the house of Joseph Sherman ; a section of Pleasant Street near the en- trance of the East Weymouth Cemetery ; the middle section of Webb Street ; the northerly end of Keith Street, and the building of the extension of Central Street to Union Street. The estimated expense of all these workings is $6,000.
In the Police Department we have endeavored, as during the pre- vious year, to maintain such a system of supervision as shall secure the preservation of a reasonable degree of order in the most populous villages and frequented streets, but without attempting any protec-
5
tion to property except such as may result incidentally from the pres- ervation of general order. The change during the past year in the law regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors devolved upon this board the duty of granting or withholding licenses for the sale of such liquors, and, after full consideration, we decided unanimously not to grant such licenses except to so many apothecaries as might be re- quired to enable all of our citizens conveniently to procure such liquors as they might need for medicinal, mechanical, and chemical purposes. Acting in accordance with this decision we have granted three licenses, viz. one in Ward 1, one in Ward 3, and one in Ward 5, -no application having been received from any apothecary in Ward 2. Each of the persons licensed entered into an agreement to sell liquors only for the purposes above specified. The guide-boards throughout the town are generally in good condition, and in substantial conform- ity to the requirements of the statute. But we should fail in our duty to our fellow-townsmen and to ourselves if we omitted on this occa- sion to record in their behalf, as well as our own, the deep sense of bereavement and loss which has pervaded this whole community by reason of the death, during the year just closed, of three of our most eminent and useful citizens, - Hon. Abner Holbrook, Nathaniel Blanchard, Esq., and Gen. James L. Bates. Each of these had been for many years an active and influential participator in town affairs, and each had rendered honorable and important service to the Com- - monwealth ; but the influence and service of Gen. Bates were limited only by the boundaries of that " Union of States" which he did so much to maintain, and his fame rests securely in the hearts of a grateful . people. To the memory of our late associate on this board it is a privilege to offer the tribute of our respect and high regard. We are assured that the public voice will join with ours in declaring that he was an able, faithful, and humane officer, a good citizen, a kind and generous neighbor, a genial and trusted friend, and an honorable man.
