REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of the town of Weymouth submit herewith their annual report, with a statement in detail of the expenditures of the different departments of town service for the year ending Dec. 31, 1891.
HIGHWAYS.
At the last annual meeting, the appropriation for the general repair of highways was $11,000. As is shown in the statement of expenditures for the year, this sum has been exceeded $49.24. This small excess was occasioned by the purchase, late in the season, of the gravel from the Tufts' Library lot. The gravel was of the very best quality, and was obtained at a price which made the whole cost of placing it upon our roads about thirty-five cents per load, when under ordinary circumstances the cost would have been from ninety cents to one dollar per load. During the year more than thirteen thousand loads of gravel have been used in making repairs, and our highways are now in excellent condition. The several sums appropriated for special highway purposes have been expended, but in two instances the appropriation has been exceeded, the amount of the excess being charged to general re- pair account.
Henry A. Nash was in April chosen Superintendent of Streets, and the local member of the board was given charge of the high- ways in his respective ward.
No new streets have been laid out during the year, and of those that have already been accepted by the town there remain to be constructed the street leading from Middle Street to Cain Avenue, and that leading from Cain Avenue to connect with the same ; Summit Street, leading from Webb Street to Keith Street ; and a short avenue off' Middle Street, Appropriations will be asked for
8
for the construction of some of these streets, and also for the con- struction of Front Street from Federal to Main Street as re- located by the County Commissioners in 1890, and which by their decree must be completed in 1892. It is estimated that at least $2,000 will be required for this work.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
There was appropriated for this department the sum of $2,300, and the balance from 1890 was $185.36. The expenditures have . been $1,765.90, leaving a balance now on hand of $719.66, which should be sufficient to carry the department to April 1, 1892.
SUPPRESSING THE ILLEGAL SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS.
At the annual meeting the sum of $2,500 was appropriated for suppression of the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors in this town. As it was, no doubt, the wish of the town that the money so appro- priated should be used for that purpose, the Board immediately en- deavored to secure the services of our local officers to carry the vote into effect, but in this they were not at the time successful, as none of them were willing to enlist in the service. Officers from out of town were then consulted and negotiations were in progress for securing the services of an officer of experience in such matters from a neighboring city, when our officers decided to undertake the work. This was near the first of June, and since that time they have labored faithfully and well, and have succeeded in closing up many of the places where intoxicating liquors were sold. It is not claimed that all such places have been closed, but it is certain that the number of them has been considerably reduced.
Our officers, as well as the Board, have been rather severely criticised, for, it was charged, the slow and tardy manner in which this business has been conducted, and censured for not immediately making seizures where there was the slightest suspicion that intoxi- cating liquors might be obtained. It is a very simple matter to
9
make the assertion that intoxicating liquors are being sold in this or that place, but as everyone knows who has had experience in such matters, it is very difficult to obtain evidence sufficient to convict the party so selling. If, however, some of those who have been the loudest in their condemnation of the course that has been pursued, would go into our courts and there tell the truth, cases of conviction would be much more frequent than they now are, and the number of places where liquors could be obtained thereby greatly reduced.
NEW LOCK-UP.
At the annual meeting the sum of $500 was appropriated for the purpose of building a lock-up in Ward 1. Plans were obtained for a brick building, with three cells, to be located upon the lot owned by the town in the rear of the engine house ; and proposals for constructing the same were received from two different parties, the lowest bid being $1,000, and it was estimated that $200 in addition would be required for grading the lot, for stove, bedding, and the other necessary articles that would be required. Under these circumstances the Board did not feel justified in building, and it was thought best to wait and ask the town for an additional appropriation of $700.
ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
For this purpose there was an appropriation of $5,000, and there has-been expended $4,962.64, leaving with the unexpended balance of 1890, a balance of $2,006.46 for the remainder of the year. No additional lights have been added during the present year.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
There remained in the treasury, on account of this department from 1890, the sum of $806.18; the appropriation of 1891 was $4,800 : expenditures for the year $4,830,87, leaving the balance on hand to cover expenses to April 1, $775.31.
10
MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES.
The appropriation for this account was $3,200, and there has been expended $3,832.11, or $632.11 in excess of the sum appro- priated. The excess was mostly on account of election expenses which, under the present method of conducting the elections, have largely increased.
SUITS AT LAW.
The action of Enos D. Raymond (now deceased) v. Weymouth, to recover damages for injuries to his real and personal estate, caused by freshets in the years 1886 and 1888, has, during the past year, been heard at length by the Auditor, but his report had not been filed in court at the expiration of the last year.
The action of George W. Gardner v. Weymouth, to recover · damages for personal injuries, was tried again after two disagree- ments of the juries, at the last May sitting of the Superior Court, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff of $1,304.16. The defendant's exceptions to the rulings of the justice presiding at the trial are now pending before the Supreme Judicial Court, and a decision is expected to be soon rendered.
No suit against the town has been entered in court during the year.
At the meeting of the Selectmen held on the twenty-first day of September last, a communication from Laban Pratt, Esq., of Boston, was laid before the board, tendering the gift of a " water- ing trough " to the town, - a copy of which, and the reply thereto are annexed. Under the authority conferred by Sect. 50 of Chap. 27 of the Public Statutes, the Selectmen gratefully accepted this offer, and upon the completion of the very appropri- ate and finely-wrought granite basin, it was received and placed in position, but the necessary grading was postponed by reason of the frost until spring.
For this kind remembrance of his birthplace by the donor, we respectfully recommend a vote of thanks by the town.

SELECTMEN OF WEYMOUTH :
BOUTWELL AVENUE, DORCHESTER, Sept. 18, 1891.
Gentlemen, - It will afford me much pleasure, as a native of the town, to present to you as a gift a stone watering trough, to be placed at the junction of Church and Commercial Streets, under the direction of your Board, free from any expense. If you are willing to accept it please inform me at your earliest convenience.
Respectfully yours, (Signed) LABAN PRATT.

OFFICE OF THE SELECTMEN,
LABAN PRATT, Esq. : WEYMOUTH, Sept. 22, 1891.
Dear Sir, - Your letter of the 18th inst. addressed to the Selectmen of Weymouth, was received by them at their meeting of Monday last, and the generous offer contained in it favorably considered. Whereupon it was voted unanimously to accept with thanks, in behalf of this town, " a stone watering trough " to be placed at the junction of Church and Commercial Streets in Wey- mouth, as a gift from Laban Pratt, Esq., of Boston, in whom we, in common with our fellow citizens, are most happy to recognize one who, in the midst of an honorable and prosperous business career, often finds opportunity to remember that " he is native, and to the manner born." I am also directed to say that the Selectmen will be pleased to confer with you in regard to the definite location of your gift, at your convenience.
In behalf of the Selectmen of Weymouth.
Respectfully yours, (Signed) HENRY A. NASH, Clerk.
TOWN DEBT.
The net debt of the town at the close of the year was, $57,- 872.58, being an increase of $2,628.13, over the debt of 1890. This increase in the debt was occasioned by an over appropriation
12
on account of Corporation and National Bank tax, $8,500 having been appropriated, and $7,412.58 only being received from this source ; also, by an over appropriation on account of State Aid, $7,230, having been appropriated against the receipt of $5,925.04. These appropriations are, in the statement presented, reckoned as debts, and with the over drafts on miscellaneous account, highway account, new schoolhouse, and for land purchased from Mr. John S. Fogg, account for the increase in the debt of the town the present year.
A note of $5,500 will become due on the 10th of March, for the payment of which provision will have to be made.
For the second time within the term of one year, this board has been called to mourn the loss by death, of a valuable member. On the seventeenth day of March last, Hon. Ebenezer Atherton Hunt, the successor of George A. Cushing, Esq., as a member of this board, after a short illness departed this life.
Although for most of the years of his manhood, Mr. Hunt had been actively engaged in business, he yet found opportunity to serve his fellow citizens, on this board, at an earlier period in his life, and in the Legislature of this State, as well as in various other positions of public and private trust ; and in all of these relations he gained the respect and esteem of his! constituents, and became widely known as an intelligent, upright, public-spirited, and influ- ential citizen.
The pleasant character of the official connnection of members of this board, with their deceased associate, and its most unexpected ending, have added the sense of personal bereavement to that which they share with their fellow citizens.
Respectfully submitted,
J. CLARENCE HOWE, HENRY A. NASH, LEONARD V. TIRRILL, JOHN P. BURRELL, GEO. H. BICKNELL,
Selectmen of Weymouth.
