REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of the town of Weymouth respectfully submit their annual report with a statement of the expenditures of each of the several departments of town service for the year ending Dec. 31, 1888. .
HIGHWAYS.
At the last annual meeting it was voted that the Selectmen serve as highway surveyors, and there was appropriated for general repairs the sum of $6,100, which, with the unexpended balance of last year and two other small balances that by vote of the town were transferred to this account, brought the amount in the hands of the Board for the repair of highways for the year up to $6,365 .- 69. By reference to the accompanying statement of expenditures on this account, it will be seen that the appropriation has been exceeded $1,066.59. Up to the middle of November, at which time work upon the highways is generally completed for the season, the expenditures had been kept within the appropriation, but from that time well into the month of December, there were heavy rains and freshets which carried away bridges and badly damaged our roads, rendering them in many places impassable. These damages had of necessity to be repaired, but for the want of a sufficient appropriation the work was done. in a temporary manner only, particularly so as to the rebuilding and repair of bridges that were not of suitable capacity to carry the water that should pass through them.
There are several bridges of this kind in the town that should be rebuilt and enlarged at once, viz. : the bridge on Pleasant Street near the residence of Palmer Loud ; that on Elm Street near Mount Hope Cemetery ; that on Main Street near the residence of N. R. Ells ; and on the same street near the residence of G. L. Went-
2
6
worth ; and that on Commercial Street near the residence of Sam- uel Webb.
All of these bridges overflow in heavy rains, and the saving to the town of the gravel that at such times is washed away and lost would go far towards covering the expense of rebuilding. The bridge at the boundary line with Braintree should also be rebuilt, and that town has expressed the desire to have it done and to share with us the expense of such rebuilding.
A special appropriation for the purpose of rebuilding and enlarg- ing bridges is recommended.
The several sums that were appropriated for special highway purposes have been expended (and in one case overrun a few dollars), with the exception of three hundred dollars for sidewalk on North Street, one hundred dollars for sidewalk on Middle Street, and two hundred dollars for the construction of Bates Street. At the time the three hundred dollars was voted for the sidewalk on North Street (near the depot) it was understood that the county commissioners had decided to lay out the widening petitioned for, but late in the season it was learned that the petition had been dis- missed. This work can no doubt be done, without the assistance of the county, for a sum within the appropriation.
As the appropriation for the construction of a sidewalk on Middle Street was not sufficient to complete the work, it was thought advisable not to commence and leave it in an unfinished condition, but to postpone the working and ask for a further appro- priation. In order to bring the sidewalk down to a proper grade, some blasting will be necessary, and it is estimated that three hun- dred dollars additional will be required to complete the work in a thorough manner.
The construction of Bates Street is under contract to be built for two hundred dollars, payment for the same to be made after the work is completed and accepted by the Selectmen. The work has been commenced, but owing to heavy rains which rendered the ground in such condition that the work could not well be continued, the working was postponed to another year. At the last annual meeting, twenty-eight hundred dollars was appropriated for the purchase of a steam crusher, and two hundred dollars for a steam
7
drill. These appropriations have not been expended, and if expended would have had to have been borrowed ; and it did not appear to the Board like good business management on their part for them to borrow this sum of money and to invest the same in machinery, for the purpose of expending less than fifty-seven hun- dred dollars then remaining on hand of the appropriation for the year.
Our town no doubt should have a steam crasher, but there should be with it an appropriation sufficiently large to warrant the working of the same to advantage.
A steam drill there appears to be no necessity for at present, and it is questionable whether its use by the town would not be much more expensive for any probable demand there might be for it, than the old method of drilling would be; but should the town decide to purchase, a further appropriation of six hundred dollars would be necessary for that purpose.
REMOVAL OF SNOW.
The expense of removing snow during the past year has been much smaller than usual, and there remains in the treasury an unexpended balance of $2,430.33.
NEW STREETS.
The Selectmen have laid out and reported to the town for their acceptance new streets and relocations of old streets as follows, viz. :-
Moulton Court, so called, off Bridge Street, 305 feet in length, 32 feet wide. Estimated cost of construction, $150 ; land damage, $75.
Pearl Street, widening, 245 feet in length, 50 feet wide. Esti- mated cost of construction, $500 ; land damage, $45.
Chard Street, so called, from Putnam Street to Commercial, 2,951 feet in length, 50 feet wide. Estimated cost of construction, $2,000 ; land damage, $150.
New street from Putnam to Middle Street, 2,179 feet in length, 1,451 feet of the distance being over the same ground as
8
given in Chard Street. Estimated cost of construction, $700 ; land damage, $25.
'New street, from Common to Broad Street, 590 feet in length, 28 feet wide. Estimated cost of construction, $500 ; land damage, $940.
White Street extension, 750 feet in length, 50 feet wide. Esti- mated cost of construction, $200 ; land damage, $50.
Central Street, widening, 106 feet in length. Estimated cost of construction, $50 ; land damage, $15.
New street off Pleasant Street, near engine house, 454 feet in length, 50 feet wide. Estimated cost of construction, $200; land damage, $1,600.
The Board are unanimous in recommending the acceptance by the town of both Chard Street and the street to Middle Street, as by being worked together the surplus material from one could be used in the construction of the other. There are several thousands of dollars' worth of taxable buildings on the line of these proposed streets, the occupants of which are now without highway accommo- dations to which they appear to be justly entitled. The accept- ance of the laying out of Moulton Court, the Pearl Street widening, the Central Street widening, and the extension of White Street are also recommended, but there is a division of opinion in the Board with regard to the other streets that have been reported ; but as each petition for their laying out bears the names of prominent tax-payers in town, and as petitions, in some instances, are annually presented for such a laying .out, it has been thought best to present the whole matter to the town for their action.
SUITS AT LAW.
The argument upon the plaintiff's exceptions in the case of Russell B. Pratt by his next friend v. Weymouth was made before the Supreme Judicial Court in March last, and " exceptions over- ruled " entered therein, which judgment rendered the verdict for the defendant final.
The suit of Freeman Curtis et al., petitioners, v. Inhabitants of Weymouth has been terminated by the entry therein of "neither party."
9
John Curran's suit v. the Town of Weymouth, upon the advice of counsel, was settled by the payment of $225 to the plaintiff, and $31.38 court costs.
No suit against the town was commenced during the year, and none are now pending, excepting those relating to the taking of water by the town from Great Pond.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The unexpended balance to the credit of this department is $86.21 only, to cover expenses to April 1, but as there appears to be an absolute necessity for maintaining this service, your Board feel justified in exceeding the appropriation for that purpose. If this service is to be continued with the present number of officers, an increased appropriation will be necessary.
TOWN DEBT.
The net debt of the town, as shown by the statement of the Treasurer, has been reduced nearly $6,000 the past year.
Two notes are coming due which will have to be provided for at the next annual meeting, viz., one for $5,500, due March 10. 1889, and one for $15,000, due Jan. 1, 1890.
GUIDE-BOARDS.
The guide-boards throughout the town have been examined and found to be in good condition. Several new boards have been placed at the entrance to private ways during the year.
