REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
THE Selectmen of the town of Weymouth respectfully submit. their annual report, with detailed statements of the expenditures. of each of the several departments of town service, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1887.
HIGHWAYS.
The sum appropriated by the town at the last annual meeting for this department was $15,475, which was divided as follows, viz. : to cover expenses from Jan. 1 to April 1, 1887, for general repairs of highways, $900; for the removal of snow, $500; and for the construction of Putnam Street, $675. To cover expenses from April 1, 1887, to April 1, 1888, $4,000, to be expended by the Highway Surveyors ; $2,500 for the removal of snow; $600 for repairs of Hingham and Quincy bridges ; $500 for working the relocation of East Street; $300 for working the relocation of Commercial Street; $1,000 for repairs of Prospect Street; $200 for rebuilding bridge, Front Street; $300 for repairs of Summer Street ; $200 for gravelling White Street; $600 for draining Columbian Square ; $100 for rebuilding bridge on Broad Street ; $700 for land damage, and $2,400 for repairs, made under the direction of the Selectmen. By reference to the annexed state- ments, the expenditure under these several appropriations will be found. Some have exceeded and others have fallen short of the sum appropriated, but the aggregate shows an unexpended balance in the treasury of $1,758.43, or more than sufficient to keep good the appropriation for the removal of snow.
The principle excess on expenditures, it will be seen, has been in the construction of the drain in Columbian Square, and for the repairs of the Hingham and Quincy bridges. In the former case it became evident, soon after the commencement of the work, that the sum appropriated was insufficient for its completion ; but hav- ing commenced, it became a necessity to finish, as with the drain
2
6
in an unfinished condition, there would have been no means of car- rying off the large quantity of water that accumulates in that vicinity during the rainy season.
In the spring, when repairs were commenced upon the Hingham and Quincy bridges, they were found to be in such bad condition, that a much larger sum than was anticipated by the trustees was required to render them safe for travel. These structures are be- coming old and decayed, and the expense of keeping them in repair will be increasing annually.
SUITS AT LAW.
The case of Russell B. Pratt v. Weymouth, pending at the date of our last report, is now ready for argument before the Supreme Court, upon the plaintiff's exceptions to the rulings of the Court at its last trial, and will, it is believed, be reached for hearing in March. No action in court has been had in this suit during the last year.
The suit of Wayland v. Weymouth, also pending in the Superior Court at the beginning of last year, was settled by compromise without trial, by the payment on the part of the town of $525, upon the advice of counsel, that the evidence available for the defence was not sufficient to justify confident expectations of secur- ing a verdict in favor of the town, and for the additional reason that the injury to the plaintiff, for which damages were claimed, was, without doubt, substantial, and possibly permanent in its character.
The following-named actions against the town have been com- menced since our last report, viz. : John P. Lovell et al., petitioners. for a jury, v. Inhabitants of Weymouth ; Freeman Curtis et al., petitioners, etc., v. Inhabitants of Weymouth ; John Curran, plain- tiff, v. Weymouth, defendant.
The first of these suits was an appeal to a jury in the Superior Court from the awards of the Selectmen, for land damages caused by the widening of Station Street ; in which an agreement for a set- tlement by the payment by the town of the costs actually incurred by the plaintiffs has been arranged.
The second of these suits is similar in character to the first, but
relates to the assessment of damages for land taken in the laying ont of a town-way from Pleasant Street near the engine house to Central Avenue, and not having been reached for trial, it is now pending in the Superior Court.
In the third suit, Curran v. Weymouth, the plaintiff claims to have been injured " from falling over a bank wall some four or five feet high, which was a part of the sidewalk," on Prospect Street in this town. The case has not reached a trial.
On the eighteenth day of January, 1887, Mr. Leon R. Johnston had his leg broken by the overturning of a public carriage on run- ners which he was driving on Sea Street, in this town, and a claim for compensation by the town for the injury suffered was presented to this Board. A settlement of his claim has been effected by the payment of $200.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
In this department the unexpended balance of the appropriation will not be sufficient to pay the salary of officers regularly em- ployed in certain sections of the town to April 1, but it appears to be absolutely necessary that the services should be continued, and your Board feel that they will be justified in slightly exceeding the appropriation for that purpose.
TOWN DEBT.
The increase in the debt of the town, as shown by the report of Treasurer, is caused by the adoption of the by-law which changes our financial year from the 1st of January to the 1st of April, thereby making it necessary to provide means for the payment of the current expenses of the town during that period. This the town at the last annual meeting voted to do, by borrowing for that purpose the sum of $22,000. There has also been borrowed the sum of $15,000, for the purpose of building a new schoolhouse in Ward 2. Making a total of $37,000 borrowed during the pres- ent year. The statement of the Treasurer gives the increase in the debt this year as $30,979.51, which shows a surplus in the
8
treasury of $6,020.49 towards the payment of the debt incurred the present year.
GUIDE-BOARDS.
The guide-boards throughout the town have been examined, and were found to be in good condition. During the year several new boards have been placed at the entrance to private ways in dif- ferent parts of the town.
Respectfully submitted, GEORGE A. CUSHING, HENRY A. NASH, JACOB BAKER, HENRY LOUD, WILLIAM NASH, Selectmen of Weymouth.

The assessment for 1887 of $98,666.11 does not include the county tax of $3,379.13, which is paid directly to the county treasury by the Collector, and does not pass through the Town Treasurer's hands.
The Auditors took an inventory of the personal property at the almshouse, on the thirty-first day of December, 1887, a copy of which will be found published in the Town Report.
The accounts of the Treasurer are in excellent condition, as also is the property upon the town farm.
