REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of the town of Weymouth respectfully submit their annual report, with a statement in detail of the expenditures of each department of town service, for the year ending Dec. 31. 1886.
HIGHWAYS.
At the last annual meeting of the town, it was voted that the sum of $12,000, together with the unexpended balance of last year, amounting to $844.29, be appropriated for highway purposes the current year, "and that $1,500 be expended under the Highway Surveyors, and balance under the Selectmen."
The accompanying statement shows that the expenditures for highway purposes for the year have been $15,011.17, or $2,166.86 in excess of the appropriation. Of this sum there has been expended, under the immediate direction of this Board, as follows, viz. : in Ward 1, $135.00; in Ward 2, $1,379.19 for the construc- tion of iron bridges in Broad Street and Commercial Street, and $56.83 for repairs on Essex Street; in Ward 3, $245.01, for set- ting curbstones and small repairs ; in Ward 4, $100 50 for rebuild- ing bridge on Mill Street ; and in Ward 5, $437.00, but of this sum $370.70 was for work done in 1885, for which bills were not received in season for last year's report. The remainder, $66.30, has been expended this year on bridges, making the total expendi- ture, under the direction of the Selectmen, $2,350.53, deducting for the bridges in Ward 2, and for the amount expended in Ward- 5 in 1885, and this Board have had from the appropriation made for the year, $603.64 only. The entire balance, $12,660.64, with the exception of $650.00 expended by the trustees of the Hingham and Quincy bridges, has been expended under the Highway Sur- veyors.
NORTHI STREET (CEMETERY HILL).
The working of the widening of this street, by order of the County Commissioners, has been completed for the sum appro- priated for that purpose ; viz., $1,250. The Commissioners have examined the work, and expressed their entire satisfaction with the manner in which it was done, and it was accepted by them.
4
WHITE STREET.
Which was accepted by the town at the last annual meeting, has been constructed from the material found thereon, but it now needs gravelling, which should be done the coming season. The cost of the work was $433, or $33 in excess of the appropriation, which was occasioned by an increase in the award for land damage.
PUTNAM STREET.
Which was also accepted at the last annual meeting, is now being constructed by Mr. J. H. Thompson, a contract having been made with him to complete the same for the sum of $700.
No other new streets have been worked, neither have the widen- ings or straightenings on any of the old.
As there is a probability that the main water pipe may be ex- tended through East Street from its junction with Union Avenue to North Street the coming season, it would seem necessary to have this part of the street worked before the laying of the pipe, and we would therefore recommend a suitable appropriation for that pur- pose.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
An unusual number of deaths have occurred in different sections of the town during the year just past, from diphtheria ; and com- plaints regarding the sanitary conditions existing where the dis- ease had occurred became so numerous that the Board con- sidered it their duty, in the emergency, to employ some one more `experienced than themselves in such matters to examine into the causes that were producing such fatal results. They therefore se- cured the services of Messrs. Tower and Drake, our town physi- cians, to make a careful examination of the different localities where disease had occurred, and measures were adopted by them which there is good reason to believe served to check its progress.
SUITS.
At the date of the last annual report of our Board, three of the four actions against the town therein named were still pending. During the year just past the case of Russell B. Pratt v. Wey- mouth has been twice tried before juries ; the first trial resulting in a disagreement, and the second in a verdict for the town, by direc-
5
tion of the Court. To the rulings of the Court in the last trial, the plaintiff has filed exceptions, which will be argued before the Supreme Judicial Court during the current year ; and if, as we expect, the ruling of the Superior Court shall be sustained, this expensive suit will be happily ended.
The suits of Benjamin F. Shaw and of Roger W. Drew were tried before juries at the September sitting of the Superior Court, and each resulted in a verdict for the town, and no exceptions have been reserved.
On the first Monday of May last, Martin Wayland, of Braintree, entered an action against Weymouth for the recovery of damages for personal injuries, alleged to have been received by him on the evening of Jan. 31, 1886, by reason of a defect in. the sidewalk on Washington Street, at Weymouth Landing. No trial has yet been had, but the case will be in order for hearing early in the April sitting of the court for this year.
The litigation of the town during the last year has been costly beyond precedent in its history, and we, in common with all law- abiding citizens, regret the occasion for such expenditures, both on account of the burden they have imposed upon the town, and of the resulting loss they have caused to well-intentioned plaintiff's ; but we have no doubt that the town will agree with us in the opinion that no alternative to a vigorous defence was left us in the case of claims aggregating nearly twenty thousand dollars, as damages for personal injuries sustained by the claimants, being entered in court within the period of a few months, and there prosecuted by able counsel ; and that such defence was especially imperative when we were advised by counsel upon whose judgment we had a right to rely, that neither of those claims was well founded in law.
The result of these suits, so far as determined, will be highly salutary in the direction of discouraging the bringing of actions against the town, which are known to be wanting in a legal basis, upon the hypothesis that they will be compromised before trial, or otherwise will be successful, through the influence of sympathy upon the judgments of jurors.
TOWN DEBT.
As shown by the statement of the Treasurer, the debt of the town has increased the past year somewhat over $7,700, This increase was occasioned in part by the appropriation of unexpended bal- ances of the previous year, amounting to $3,500, these unexpended
6
balances having already been used in making payments on account in such departments as had made expenditures in excess of the sums that were appropriated for their respective uses ; and, if this course of reappropriating unexpended balances is continued in the future, without raising the sum so reappropriated, the debt will continue to increase.
The remainder of the increase is on account of the payment of $1,855 on account of new schoolhouse, and for expenditures in excess of appropriations.
APPROPRIATIONS.
There has been a difference of opinion between some of the . departments of town service and our Board, as to the period cov - ered by the appropriations made at the last annual meeting, and in order to avoid the occurrence of any misunderstanding of the kind in the future, the Selectmen would suggest that the by-laws with reference to this matter, that were recently accepted by the town, be followed ; and they, therefore, recommend, that at the coming annual meeting all sums that are raised and appropriated for the different departments be made sufficiently large to cover from Jan. 1, 1887, to April 1, 1888, and that a proper proportion of the same be retained in the treasury to cover the current ex- penses, from Dec. 31, 1887, to April 1, 1888 ; and it is also recom- mended that four fifths of the sums so raised be raised by taxation, the ensuing year, and the remaining one fifth to be borrowed, on notes of equal amounts, payable in two, five, seven, and nine years.
GUIDE-BOARDS.
The guide-boards throughout the town have been examined and found to be in good condition. Recently, several new boards have been placed at the entrance to private ways in different parts of the town.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. A. CUSHING, HENRY A. NASH, JACOB BAKER, HENRY LOUD, GILMAN B. LOUD,
Selectmen of Weymouth.

·
The assessment for 1886 of $104,042.15 does not include the county tax of $3,379.13, which is paid directly to the county treasury by the Collectors, and does not pass through the Treasurer's hands.
The Auditors refer to the reports of the various boards and town officers for details of their accounts.
They also took an inventory of the personal property at the almshouse, on the 1st of January, a copy of which will be found in the published town report.
The Auditors wish to say that they find the accounts of the Treas- urer in excellent condition, and also the property upon the town farm, and the house with the additions now completed and ready for use.
