REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
1
THE selectmen of the town of Weymouth, for the year ending with January 1, 1878, respectfully submit the following Report, with the schedule of the receipts and expenditures annexed : -
The town, at the last annual meeting, appropriated the sum of $12,000 for road purposes, $5,000 to be expended in repairs by the surveyors of highways, in their discretion, and the balance to be used by the selectmen for general repairs, and the completion of new roads already laid out, the payment of land damages, removal of snow, and this town's share of the expense in the maintenance of the Hingham and Quincy Bridges. In pursuance of that vote, the selectmen let out by contract the building of a part of the widenings of North Street, the widening of East Street, a portion of Pleasant Street, the balance of Webb Street, the building of Central Street, and the remainder of Randolph Street, all of which have been completed and paid for. Also several much-needed improvements of the old roads, which all appear in the schedule of expenses. The town, by another vote at the said meeting, voted $2,000 additional for the improvements of Middle Street. We have caused about one half of the whole, from the river south of the town house to King Oak Hill, to be worked, and the balance is placed under two contracts, to be fully completed in the early part of next summer, and when finished will constitute a great and much-needed improvement. The widenings that remain to be worked are a small section of North Street, a small section of Ran- dolph Street, and that part of Middle Street already under contract. The present condition of the roads will compare favorably with the roads of any town around us. We have provided gravel screens, and recommend that all the gravel used in gravelling roads hereafter be screened, as it will much lessen the expense of picking stones, and much improve the convenience of travel.
During the past year, the county commissioners have laid out a wid- ening of Broad Street, from High to Madison Street, and have awarded
4
damages for land taken for said widening, and appropriated $2,000 from the county treasury to pay in part for said damages ; and ordered this town to work said road, and to pay the balance of said land dam- age, costs of laying out, including surveys, and to pay for any increase of damage which any or all of said land owners may demand, or contest it before a jury, and pay the verdict. Several of the land owners have already asked for an increase, and two have entered an appeal. We think the public good and convenience require said improvement, but the manner and mode of doing it is very questionable. There was no question about the location, and it merely needed widening. It is one of the highways of the State, and no road in this section has more general travel, and it is in no particular sense a neighborhood accom- modation, and should have been laid out at the expense of the county, together with the land damage, as is usual in all cases of roads used for general travel.
No new guide-boards have been erected during the year, and the old remain substantially as last year, and in sufficiently good repair to answer the requirements of the law.
The town at the last annual meeting appropriated $1,000, and at a subsequent meeting $400 additional for police purposes. We have employed one man through the night at Weymouth Landing, and one man until eleven o'clock P. M., at East Weymouth ; and with occa- sional service in the other villages of the town, and including the ordinary pay of the constables, the appropriation has fully met the expense, and good order has been generally and satisfactorily pre- served.
In relation to granting licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors, it will be remembered that the town, at a meeting, under an article in the warrant for that purpose, refused to give any instruction in the matter ; and as in the two previous years, apothecaries were licensed to sell under a written promise to the selectmen to sell for no pur- pose except for medicinal, mechanical, and chemical purposes, it seemed to us that it was proper to provide that it might be conven- iently obtained for those purposes, and we accordingly licensed one in each quarter of the town to sell the same.
The town at the last annual meeting voted to establish a Fire Department and choose a committee to inquire into the wants of the town in that respect, and they reported, at a subsequent meeting called for that purpose, that the needs of the town required five hand fire engines with suitable apparatus, and three hook and ladder trucks, and that Mr. Leverish, of New York, would furnish three fire engines, hose and apparatus, and two hook and ladder trucks, for a
5
certain sum named in that report ; and said committee then and there recommended that the town purchase said engines and other said ap- paratus of the said Leverish ; and further, that the town purchase all the property belonging to the Weymouth and South Weymouth fire districts, including the real estate, engines, and all other apparatus, at a fair appraisal ; and further, that the town cause to be erected three engine-houses of certain dimensions, one at East Weymouth, one in North Weymouth, and another in the Fourth Ward; and further, to provide suitable accommodation for the Amazon engine and hook and ladder truck and apparatus at Weymouth Landing ; and for purposes aforesaid they recommend the appropriation of $18,000.
On consideration of said report the town at that meeting voted to accept and adopt said report, and thereupon chose a committee of five persons to contract with Mr. Leverish for the aforesaid appa- ratus, namely, Messrs. John W. Bartlett, Z. L. Bicknell, Charles E. Bicknell, Alvah Raymond, Jr., and George W. Bates ; and the town appointed another committee of ten persons, namely, Elias S. Beals, James Humphrey, Z. L. Bicknell, Joseph Totman, E. Atherton Hunt, A. J. Richards, Alanson A. Holbrook, William Nash, Joseph Dyer, and Noah Vining, to cause said houses and accommodations to be erected and made, and also to construct four reservoirs.
The committee to contract with Mr. Leverish concluded said con- tract according to the said report, and the engines and apparatus have been delivered, accepted by said committee, and paid for as set forth in the schedule. The said committee, as directed, have purchased of the two fire districts, as directed, the property held by them, and the town has paid the debts of said districts respectively, and the bal- ance due each district, which shall be audited and approved by the proper officers of said districts, and shall be presented to the select- men of said town before the first day of May next, the said town will cause the whole balance remaining to be apportioned ratably in the annual assessment of taxes for town, county, and State purposes, to be made in said town, as of the first day of May next, among and upon the said annual taxes of those persons who, on said first day of May next, would have been liable to assessment in said fire districts if the said fire districts had continued their organizations and active existence, and had taken the necessary measures to levy a tax therein to pay its current expenses ; and further that said town will cause said sums so apportioned to be credited to said persons so liable to assess- ment, and to be deducted from the amounts severally assessed upon in said annual assessment, the persons and estates who would have been liable as aforesaid ; which apportionment, and deduction or abatement
C
from the several taxes of the persons thus liable, shall be deemed and held to be a full payment of the said balance, and shall operate as a full discharge of said town from all liabilities for the indebtedness aforesaid.
The committee to build the engine houses, reservoirs, etc., in consid- ering the wants of Weymouth Landing, found that the old house was in a very bad location, and was in such shape that it would be very difficult to enlarge it so as to accommodate both engine and hook and ladder truck, and they further found that the Binney lot, on the corner of Broad and Washington Streets, could now be purchased, from which the town had taken the corner to improve the road, and made an award ; and after due deliberation it was determined to purchase the whole lot, which was done, and $200 of the purchase money is placed in the road account, and $700 to the engine account. The committee then contracted with Mr. Charles Simmons to build by contract four engine houses for the sum total of $5,120 ; which contract he has performed, and been paid for the same. After the contract was made, a bell- tower and water-closets were constructed, and other extra stock was found, and work was done by him, for which he has been paid, as set fortlı in the schedule.
Your committee also contracted with Eli Estes to build (construct) four reservoirs, two in North Weymouth, one at East Weymouth, and one at Lovelll's Corner, so called, each to hold 16,000 gallons, for the sum total of $1,400. The reservoirs were constructed, and he was paid, according to the terms of the contract, $1,200 ; and as he was to make them perfect, and they were found to be somewhat faulty, the balance has not yet been paid. He has re-cemented two of them, and will make them so perfect that when they are filled they will remain full until the water is used for its intended purpose.
The several engines and apparatus are at present in good working order, except the " Rescue," which seems to be a worn-out tub ; and the bills are believed to be all paid. We have inserted in the schedule all the expenses of the Fire Department, a portion of which heretofore has been placed in the miscellaneous. We on the thirtieth day of last April appointed five engineers, as the town liad voted to establish a Fire Department ; since which some have resigned, and others ap- pointed to fill their places, and it was thought advisable to increase the number to ten for the present year, as follows : chief engineer, Charles E. Bicknell ; assistants, J. R. H. Williams, Charles II. Chub- buck, Frederic Bicknell, T. L. Bicknell, Stephen Cain, William H. Hosking, Alvah Raymond, Jr., and Noah Vining (and there is one vacancy). In order, if possible, to place the department perfect in
7
every respect, the engineers have made a set of necessary rules and regulations for the government of every branch of the service, believ- ing that it is indispensably necessary that every man should have his duty clearly defined in said rules ; and we have caused them to be printed, so that every man can have a copy and understand his duty.
It has been the aim of the engineers to place the whole department on a basis that shall answer and meet all our just expectations.
The several companies are organized, generally uniformed, satisfied with their new houses, and very enthusiastic ; and if properly respected we have no doubt they will be efficient in staying the progress of the destroyer that often lays whole villages in ashes, and the department will be an honor and blessing to Weymouth.
The old Amazon Engine-house and lot belong to the town, and were appraised and cost the town $750, and are thought to be thus valuable. There are persons who have applied to purchase the property, but the town must pass a vote authorizing the sale before they can be transferred.
