REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
THE Selectmen of the town of Weymouth herewith respectfully present their report, annexed to which will be found the Treasurer's statement of receipts and expenditures, with a memorandum of assets and liabilities, and a statement in detail of the expenses of the different departments of town service for the year ending Dec. 31, 1885.
HIGHWAYS.
The sum of $9,000 was appropriated by the town at the last annual meeting for general highway purposes, $400 for the con- struction of Hawthorne Street, and $200 for the purpose of enlarg- ing bridges on Commercial and Broad Streets. The bridge on Commercial Street has been enlarged, but that on Broad Street, owing to the limited amount of the appropriation remaining unex- pended, was not undertaken. Hawthorne Street has been con- structed in a manner satisfactory to the Board, and at a cost slightly within the sum appropriated, with this exception. None of the new streets that have been accepted by the town have been constructed ; neither have any of the widenings and straighten. ings of old streets been worked, and with the exception of quite an outlay in changing the grade of Main Street, from Independence Square to near the residence of Mr. Prince Tirrell, the sum ex- pended has been for general highway purposes, the total expense of which has been within the said appropriation. Taking into con- sideration the laying of the water pipe through our principal streets during the year, and the generally unfavorable weather that prevailed at its close, our streets are in as good condition as could reasonably be expected. Permission has been granted the Weymouth Gas Company to lay pipe in the streets of the town, and it is said that work upon the same will be commenced early in the spring. Should this prove to be the case, and the laying of
1
4
pipe become general, a smaller appropriation, perhaps, would be required for general highway purposes than might otherwise seem to be necessary.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Owing to the numerous destructive fires that have occurred dur- ing the year, and the necessarily largely increased expenses caused thereby, the appropriation for the Fire Department has been over- drawn some $1,300. As the town was responsible for the bills that were contracted on this account, our only course appeared to be to pay them, and the Board feel that all tax-payers of the town will justify them in so doing.
POLICE.
The expenditure on account of the Police Department has been somewhat in excess of last year, the increase being due wholly to the employment of extra officers, as watchmen, during the preva- lence of incendiary fires. A private detective was also employed and stationed at the almshouse, where he remained on duty a month.
The appropriation for this department at the last annual meet- ing was $1,800, and an additional appropriation of $1,000 was made at the special meeting May 1, making a total of $2,800. Of this sum there remains in the treasury an unexpended balance of $497.48. There was also an appropriation of $800 for the suppres- sion of the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors ; of this sum $350.57 has been expended, leaving $449.43 still in the treasury. Our in- structions to the police have been to make arrests and seizures in all cases where there appeared to be a reasonable probability of making convictions. A few convictions have been made, though there are still undoubtedly numerous places in the town where in- toxicating liquors can be obtained. The great difficulty is in ob- taining testimony that will convict those who are selling illegally. Under the vote of the town, at the last annual meeting, to grant licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors, one license only has been granted, and that to Arthur L. Armstrong of the Commer-
5
cial House, Ward 2, he paying for the same the sum of $1,000, it being the maximum price fixed by the statute for a license of the first class, as well as in conformity with the vote of the town in- structing the Board to issue no licenses for a less sum. Several other applications were received, but objection being made by abutters to the granting of the licenses, they could not legally be made.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
As the Board of Health, the calls upon us have been numerous ; and, in the several cases where complaints have been made and sustained, the parties maintaining the cause of complaint have cheerfully abated the same. Four cases of varioloid occurred during the latter part of the year in Ward 5; but, fortunately, the disease was confined to the house in which it originated. Two of the patients have fully recovered, and the remainder are favorably progressing towards recovery.
SUITS.
Four actions of tort have been commenced against this town during the past year, in the Superior Court holden for Norfolk County, for the recovery of damages for personal injuries alleged to have been suffered by reason of defects in certain highways in the town, viz. : -
In the first suit, John Keeshan, of Hingham, was plaintiff, and claimed to have fallen into a trench on Pleasant Street, dug for the purpose of laying the water pipes therein, on the evening of June 13, 1885 ; but Mr. W. C. McClallan, who, by his contract with the Water Commissioners, was liable for any defect of the kind alleged, undertook the defence, and settled the suit without trial.
In the second case, Russell B. Pratt, a boy of twelve years, by his next friend, is plaintiff, and claims, in his writ, $4,000 as dam- ages by reason of injury to his head from the fall of a derrick which was in use in widening the culvert under Commercial Street, near the East Weymouth Skating Rink, on the twenty-third day of April last. The action was entered in court on the first Monday
6
of November last, and was placed upon the jury trial list at the December sitting of the court ; but, after preparation for trial and several days' attendance, the juries were dismissed on the comple- tion of the case next before this action in the order of trials, and the action continued to the next April sitting of the court. This Board is advised by the counsel for the town that the facts in this case, as they have learned them, will not authorize a verdict for the plaintiff.
In the third action Roger W. Drew is plaintiff, and lays his dam- ages at $4,000, for personal injury in breaking his leg by stepping from the sidewalk into the gutter, on Main Street, while hurrying to the fire which consumed the barn of Mr. Loring Tirrell on the ninth day of October last. The Selectmen, upon their information, are strongly of the opinion that the plaintiff has no legal ground on which to base his claim. The writ of this plaintiff was entered in court on the first Monday of December last, and will probably be heard at the next April sitting of the Superior Court. In the fourth action, Benjamin F. Shaw is plaintiff. His writ is dated January 23, 1886, and is returnable to court on the first Monday of March next. The damages claimed in his writ are $4,000, for injuries sustained by him in stepping into a hole in the sidewalk on Broad Street, near the pond of M. C. Dizer, Esq., caused by the washing away of the gravel around a drain pipe laid by Mr. Dizer ; and we think it clear that if the town is held liable in damages in this suit, it will be entitled to recover them from Mr. Dizer, and we have caused him to be notified to appear and defend in this action.
TOWN DEBT.
The debt of the town, as shown by the statement of the Treasurer, has increased during the year a trifle over $6,000 ; but attention is called to the fact that not one dollar of this increase is chargeable to any of the accounts that are controlled by this Board. Would it not be for the interest of the town to raise and appropriate sums sufficient to meet their necessary expenses, rather than to allow the increase of the debt by borrowing ?
-
GUIDE-BOARDS.
The guide-boards throughout the town have been examined and found to be in good condition.
In order to facilitate the labors of our successors in making up their annual report, and furthermore that a correct statement of the financial condition of the town may then be given, we would respectfully request all having demands against the town to pre- sent them as near the close of the year as possible.
Much unnecessary delay has been caused in making up the pres- ent report by withholding bills which, with slight effort, could have been presented in proper season. There are now bills amounting to several hundred dollars that should have appeared here that were not received until after the closing of the books for the year.
In making up the accompanying schedule of expenditures for the year, our endeavor has been to comply as nearly as possible with the spirit, though perhaps we may have failed to conform strictly to the letter of the existing by-laws. We hope, however, that we may have succeeded in making our statements sufficiently plain, and in a manner that will be satisfactory to the town.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS H. HUMPHREY, HENRY A. NASH, WILLIAM NASH, GEORGE A. CUSHING, JACOB BAKER,
Selectmen of Weymouth.
