REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
THE Selectmen of Weymouth respectfully submit their Annual Report, with a schedule of receipts and expenditures for the year 1876, as follows : -
In the matter of the roads, the town, at the last annual March meeting, appropriated only about half as much (the sum of $8,000) as was appropriated annually for the two last years for that purpose, $4,000 of which was to be used in the discretion of the Highway Sur- veyors, and $4,000 as the Selectmen might think the condition of the public roads required. The condition of the road service was partly a written contract (made in 1875) with Mr. Bela French for working a section of the widenings of Pleasant Street, contract price, $380 ; a demand unpaid for work done in January of over $100; a demand for damages for undermining a wall on the estate of the Whittemore heirs in Essex Street, $100; the damage caused by raising the grade of Sea and Pearl Streets, to Mr. Cushing, $125. The Canal Bridge at East Weymouth, during the summer broke down, and was found to be so rotten that repairing it would be money wasted, and a new one was built of stone at a cost of about $500. Ann Street, which leads from Abington through Weymouth to Holbrook, was so narrow that carriages could not safely pass, and we have caused it to be widened and repaired at an expense of over $200. A portion of the widening's of Randolph Street has been worked ; also about thirty-five rods of the extension of Central Street have been graded. The finishing of the improvements on Neck Street, and various other improvements and repairs in various parts of the town, together with the cost of the Hingham and Quincy Bridges and removing snow, have exhausted the appropriation. There remain unfinished improvements of the public roads already laid out, a portion of Webb Street, a small part of Randolph Street, a small part of Pleasant Street, most of the extension of Central Street, the whole of the improvements as laid out by the County Commissioners on
4
North Street, and also a portion of East Street, near the house of Joseph Sherman.
The town at the last March meeting voted to dispense with the police ; but as January and February had already passed, there ap- pears an item in the expense for that service for those months ; but as the season passed on and the evenings became pleasant, a noisy and disorderly disposition manifested itself in some portions of the town, and a sufficient number of constables were directed to be in readiness to act in suppressing outrages and in preserving the peace and quiet of the town, the cost of which will be found under the head of " Constables " in the schedule.
The Town House was found to be very leaky, and upon examina- tion the shingles were so much worn that it was determined to shingle the roof, which has been done.
In relation to the granting of licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors, as licenses were granted in 1875 and a report of the same made to the town, which was, with all other matters, contained in said Report and accepted by the town without any objection, we have licensed apothecaries to sell, under a special written agreement with the Selectmen to restrict their sales to medicinal, mechanical, and chemical purposes.
The guide-boards throughout the town are in fair condition.
In view of the condition of the public highways and the small amount appropriated last year, we think that the public wants ur- gently require a larger appropriation than last year, as the improve- ments already commenced should be worked.
