REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of the town of Weymouth present herewitha their annual report, with a statement in detail of the expenditures of the several departments of town service, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1890.
HIGHWAYS.
Chap. 98 of the Acts of the Legislature passed in the year 1889 makes it mandatory upon the Selectmen to appoint a super- intendent of highways. In accordance with the provisions of this act, Jacob F. Dizer was appointed to fill that position, and he assumed the duties of his office in the latter part of March. His report will be found on page 42.
The following new streets have been laid out and reported to the town for their acceptance, viz. : -
A new street from Middle Street to Cain Avenue near its junc- tion with Chard Street. The length of this street is 707 feet ; land damage, $50, and the estimated cost of construction is $500.
A new street from Cain Avenue, to connect with the contem- plated street above described. The length of this street is 935 feet ; land damage, $400, and the estimated cost of construction is $300.
A new street from Middle Street to land of Orin T. Pratt. The land damage is $45, and the estimated cost of construction is $100.
LIQUOR LICENSES.
At the last annual meeting, it was voted to grant licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors in this town. Sixteen applica- tions were received, four of which were for licenses of the first
8
class, ten for licenses of the second class, and two for licenses of the fourth class. Of these, three were granted, viz. : one of the first class to Timothy F. Kennedy, for $1,000; one of the second class to Michael Heffernan, for $400, and one of the second class to J. F. Maddan & Co., for $400. Ten druggist's licenses were also granted for $1 each. In accordance with the statutes, one fourth of the money received was paid to the State, and the bal- anced remains in the treasury.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The unexpended balance to the credit of this department is $185.36, which will not be sufficient to cover the expenses to April 1. As there appears to be an absolute necessity of maintain- ing the present force, the Board feel justified in exceeding this appropriation.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
There are now located in different parts of the town thirty-one arc and one hundred and twenty-seven incandescent lights. The unexpended balance on this account is $1,669.10.
SUITS AND CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES.
The suit of Enos D. Raymond v. Weymouth, to recover dam- ages for the flooding of his house-cellar, in a freshet, pending at the date of our last report, has since been referred to an auditor, but no hearing has been had.
The suit of George W. Gardner. v. Weymouth, commenced in the year 1889, has been twice tried during the past year, but each trial resulted in a disagreement of the jury, and action is still pending. The expense of defending these suits has been large, making it necessary to exceed the sum appropriated for miscella- neous accounts -$663.87. No suits against the town have been commenced during the year.
TOWN DEBT.
The net debt of the town at the close of the year, as shown by the statement of the Treasurer, is $55,244.45, being a reduc -.
9
tion from last year of $5,651.98. None of the notes now out- standing against the town become due the present year.
The loss sustained by the town, as well as by the members of this Board personally, in the sudden death of George A. Cushing, Esq., its chairman, on the twenty-fifth day of March last, renders it our sad duty and privilege to avail ourselves of this opportunity to place upon the records of the town an expression of the public grief at that bereavement, and such brief memorial of his virtues and services as may express our own and. as we believe, the general judgment of the character of our departed friend. As an official, Mr. Cushing was honorable, efficient, faithful; as a citizen, intel- ligent, generous, patriotic ; as a neighbor, social, kind, helpful ; as a man, upright, diligent, true. His long and varied public service attests that he had won the confidence of the people.
Respectfully submitted,
J. CLARENCE HOWE, HENRY A. NASH, JACOB F. DIZER, LEONARD V. TIRRELL, E. ATHERTON HUNT,
Selectmen of Weymouth.
