REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
THE selectmen of Weymouth respectfully submit their Annual Report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1879, with a schedule of receipts and expenditures annexed.
In the department of Highways, we have found it necessary to spend the entire appropriation, as some widenings laid out by the County Commissioners were expensive and other widenings laid out by the town in previous years were necessary to be worked.
In Ward 1 there has been no widening or working of new streets the past year, the extra money having been spent in general repairs.
In Ward 2 among the principal improvements are those at Jackson Square, Broad and High Streets, and the working of Charles Street. The safety of public travel seemed to require rail- ings on Water, Commercial, and Shawmut Streets, also a retaining wall on Washburn Street.
In Ward 3 there has been worked the extension of Prospect Street, with improvements in Stetson's Square, and widening at corner of Washington and Broad Streets ; also railing at Sunken Hole and on the New Bedford Turnpike.
In Ward 4 there have been repairs that were much needed on Main Street, also the rebuilding of the bridge on Columbian Street, over the railroad track. The grade was raised at the request of the Old Colony Railroad, they paying the extra expense.
In Ward 5 the widening of Randolph Street has been worked under contract with Benjamin Derby, with repairs of drainage and concreting on Pond Street. In the widening and working of Randolph Street we wish to say that Mr. Martin Derby and Mr. Alfred Tirrell gave an additional amount of land for sidewalk. Mr. Derby gave also his award of $15 to pay for drain-pipe, which was paid to Waldo Brothers. Mr. Alfred Tirrell and Mrs. Mary J. Bates each gave $20 towards concreting the gutter, and that was paid to Mr. Gutterson, and deducted from his bill, all of which was so much saving to the town. There are now no layings out of streets that are not worked, except a short distance on Middle Street, opposite the Town Hall.

In the Police Department the expense has been about the same as last year. We have employed Capt. Edwin Thomas as Special Police, and he has secured some convictions under the Liquor Law, and we think he will do a good work.
George W. Pratt, having fallen into the canal at East Weymouth, commenced a suit against the town for damage, and the case was settled with him by the payment of $250.
The Tufts Library Trustees having raised $2,046 by subscription were paid $1,000 from the treasury of the town, agrecable to a vote at the last annual meeting.
A Report of the Library will be found in the schedule.
The case of Weymouth v. Brigham is yet undecided.
In last year's report a note of J. Totman for $1,000 was omitted, also the note for $4,000 should have been $4,200.
The guide-boards throughout the town are in good repair, es- pecially in Ward 3.

. AUDITORS' REPORT.
JANUARY 27, 1880.
THE Auditors have, as usual, in compliance with the request of the Overseers of the Poor, appraised the personal property at the Town Farm, and estimated the value thereof, as appears in the inventory. They also appraised the personal property brought to the almshouse by Mr. Isaac Linfield, and estimated its total value to be $97.50.
We have examined the accounts of the treasurer, who is also collector of taxes, and found them to be well vouched and cor- rectly cast. It appears that between Feb. 1, 1879, the date to which the accounts were made up last year, and Jan. 1, 1880, the time to which they were made up this year, the receipts and payments have been as follows, including interest on taxes of 1877 and 1878, not included last year : -

The method of keeping the accounts so as to be easily audited and thoroughly vouched, both for receipts and payments, has been improved during last year, and will be still more improved during the current year.
