REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth submit herewith their annual report with a statement in detail of the expenditures under the various appropriations for the year ending December 31, 1895.
HIGHWAYS.
The town appropriated at the last annual meeting for the repair of highways $10,120.23. At the date of this report there has been expended $14,105.18, this amount being $3,984.95 in excess of the appropriation. This overdraft is due in a large measure to the heavy rains which came early in the fall when the roads were in a dry and loose condition and occasioned a great number of washouts, rendering it imperative to do a large amount of work to place the roads in a safe condition for travel. We should also state that an outlay of several hundred dollars was made in Ward Two by authority of the board in grading up the portion of Maple street adjacent to the new factory of Strong & Garfield, and in building a retaining wall at this point.
With our increasing mileage and the constant demand for better roads the appropriations for this department seem inadequate. This is manifest in the number of petitions which are sent in year by year calling for special appropriations for streets which have been neglected until to those living upon or using them there seems no other way of obtaining the necessary repairs. Nearly every one who has had to do with town affairs will acknowledge the evil of making special for what should be accomplished under the gen- eral appropriation. Would it not be better to make the amount for repairs adequate to all reasonable demands and thus obviate the necessity for this class of petitions ?
A tabulated statement will be found on page 70 of the special highway appropriations made at the last annual meeting, by which it will appear that the expenditures were in excess of the appro- priations to the amount of $1,068.58. It will also appear that this overdraft was occasioned largely by the work done on Front street. Two of the most expensive points in working the reloca- tion of this street, which had been passed as completed, were found to demand large ontlays this season by reason of the road not being worked to the line as laid out by the County Commis- sioners, the first of these being the deep fills northerly from the
8
house of the late William Bowker, where, when the street railway track came to be laid (as was necessary) on the new location, it was found there would be absolutely no passable road,
The other point referred to was along the premises of Joseph H. Martell and William B. Tower. The Braintree and Weymouth Street Railway Company were obliged to work a portion of this widening and we were assured by the abutters that, unless the street was worked to the line, the County Commissioners would be called on to view it, and it seemed to us for the best interest of the town that the work should be done this season, especially as it could be done at a less outlay than at any future time.
Considerable blasting was necessary here, and the stones so ob- tained were utilized in building a retaining wall which was indis- pensable.
In addition to what the town has expended on this street, the Railway Company has been obliged to work portions of it which would probably have cost the town $600 to have worked.
The decree of the County Commissioners for the working of this street was dated Dec. 16, A. D. 1890, and two years were given for completing the work. There still remains unfinished a portion of the street which it will probably cost the town $1,500 to complete.
Of the other relocations and new streets or extensions of streets that have been accepted by the town, there remain to be con- structed portions of the following, viz : -
Bridge street, the street from Sea street to Bridge street, that from Pleasant street to Whitman's Pond, Chard street, King ave- nue, Torrey's Lane, and the extension of Phillips street.
At the last annual meeting the town declined to instruct the Selectmen to appoint a Superintendent of Streets holding no other town office, and voted to leave the matter in the hands of the Selectmen.
In compliance with chapter 423, section 25, of the Acts of 1893, the Selectmen, on March 27, 1895, appointed Nelson W. Gardner as Superintendent of Streets, with the understanding that each member of the board should assume the supervision of the work in his respective ward.
On the twenty-eighth day of August an accident, occasioned by a heavy fall of gravel, occurred in the pit of N. R. Ells, which resulted fatally to Patrick Sheehy, and by which Patrick Purcell received injuries from which he has not yet recovered.
Action is now pending upon petitions as follows : -
For relocation of Lake street from its junction with Shawnut street to the house of the late Owen Carr.
For laying out a new street from Middle street near the house
9
of W. F. Cushing, to Broad street near the car-house of the Brain- tree and Weymouth Street Railway Company.
For widening a portion of way known as Wharf street and lay- ing out a new street from a point on said way near the power sta- tion of the Weymouth Light and Power Company to a point on Commercial street northerly from the railroad crossing near the East Weymouth station.
For the removal of snow the appropriation was $3,597.17, of which amount $1,662.60 has been expended, leaving a balance of $1,934.57.
STATE HIGHWAYS.
By a vote of the town, passed at a special meeting held October 20, 1894, the Selectmen were authorized to contract with the Massachusetts Highway Commission for the construction of so much of Bridge street as should be made a state highway within one year from that date, and the Town Treasurer was empowered to borrow, for the purposes of its construction, sums not exceed- ing $6,000.
By authority of this vote the Selectmen, under date of August 15, 1895, signed a contract for the working of the portion. of Bridge street as a state highway beginning at Weymouth Back River and extending westerly twenty-two hundred feet, more or less.
The construction was placed under the charge of Nelson W. Gardner, Superintendent of Streets.
As it was thought that the road would be completed before the end of the year, it was not deemed necessary to borrow the money which the vote of the town authorized the treasurer to do. We had expected to begin work early in September, but it was about the first of October before the engineer was sent on by the com- missioners, and nothing could be done under the contract until his arrival. The winter weather setting in rendered it necessary to suspend work and we are unable to report the completion of the contract.
The amount expended has been $4,389.58, of which $2,473.24 has been audited and paid in to the Town Treasurer. Further amounts of $1,000 will be paid in at an early date, and consider- able unfinished work will remain unpaid for until spring.
Ann street, in the southwest part of the town, between Abing- ton and Holbrook, which was let out by the Commissioners to a contractor, is also left in an unfinished condition.
RAILROAD.
A hearing was granted on March 22, upon petition of the Ply- mouth County Railroad Company by its president, John F. Sim- mons, for a location of its tracks in Weymouth, and after a
10
regularly advertised hearing, and npon due consideration, a loca- tion was granted from a point on the town line of Hingham to the tracks of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Com- pany at a point a short distance northerly from the railroad cross- ing on Commercial street, known as Reed's crossing.
STREET RAILWAYS.
Since the last annual report locations have been granted. after duly advertised hearings, to the Braintree and Weymouth Street Railway Company for the extension of their tracks over the high- ways and townways from Lincoln Square to Columbian Square and thence to Commercial Square, and on High street to the Hingham line; also over a portion of Commercial street and through Madison street to connect with the tracks of the Quincy and Boston Street Railway Company on Broad street, which loca- tions have been built upon and are now in operation.
A location was also granted to this company upon Washington street from its junction with Pleasant street to its junction with Middle street, thence through Middle street to Central Square, to be completed December 1, 1896.
A location has been granted to the Quincy and Boston Street Railway Company for an extension of its track on Commercial street from Commercial Square to the Hingham line, which will no doubt be built upon carly this season.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
The appropriation for this department, including the balance from last year, was $5,074 48. The amount expended has been $4,096.60; the amount received for fines has been $237.43, thus making a net cost to the town of $3,>59.17, and leaving a balance of $1,215.31.
The work of suppressing the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors was again placed in the hands of Geo. B. Bailey and Arthur H. Pratt. While there are a few places in town where liquor is prob- ably sold, we believe the officers have been faithful in the dis- charge of their duty. The business has been conducted in so cau- tious a manner that it has been very difficult to find any liqnor on the premises or to secure convictions, and the amount of fines im- posed has been much less than last year.
The report of the officers will be found on page 163.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The appropriation for this department, including the balance from 1894, was $5,802.29, of which there has been expended $5,015.14, leaving a balance of $787.15.
The engineer's report will be found on page 160.
11
ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
The appropriation for this department, including the balance from 1894, was $7,820.65, of which there has been expended $5,958.45, leaving a balance of $1,862.20. Complaints have been frequent during the year that the service rendered to the town was not satisfactory. The report of the electric lighting committee will be found on page 167.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The appropriation for this department, including the balance from 1894, was $4,836.87, of which there has been expended $3,574.35, leaving a balance of $1,262.48.
TOWN DEBT.
One note of $4,000 has been paid during the year from money raised by taxation. The amount of notes now outstanding against the town, not including one of $10,000, for money borrowed in anticipation of taxes, is $72,500, of which $5,500 will become due March 7, 1896, and for the payment of which provision will have to be made.
COLLECTOR OF TAXES.
As appeared in the report of last year, Martin E. Hawes was appointed to collect the uncollected taxes of 1893, after the office was declared vacant by the removal from town of the incumbent of the office for that year.
When he assumed the position the commitment books showed $5,410.39 as uncollected. As this goes to press the following is the condition of this commitment :
Satisfactory evidence has been presented to Mr. Hawes of the payment to his predecessor of $2,701.31, which had not been ac- counted for to the treasurer or entered upon the books, and the interest upon this amount, viz : $151.04, making $2,852.35.
Of the remainder of the tax, $2,709.08, there has been collected $1,805.92, abated by the assessors $815.41, and there remains uncollected $87.75.
The above-mentioned amount, $2,852.35, has been reported to the sureties on the bond of the former collector as their liability under the bond, and of this amount there has been paid to the treasurer of the town by Adrianus Denbroeder, one of said sure- ties, the sum of $2,000, leaving $852.35 as the amount for which the bondsmen are still held liable.
12
SUITS AT LAW.
Of the three suits pending at the beginning of this year, the case of Henry C. Gardner v. Weymouth was tried the second time at the January sitting of the Superior Court, and resulted in a verdict for the Town upon a ruling of the Court that no suffi- cient notice of the time, place and cause of injury had been given by the plaintiff, to which ruling the plaintiff excepted ; but his exceptions have not been allowed and entered in the Supreme Court.
The case of David J. Pierce, administrator, v. Weymouth has not been tried, and is still pending.
The case of Weymouth v. Denbroeder was discontinued without entry at the request of counsel for sureties on bond, upon the pay- ment of two thousand dollars to the Treasurer.
Six suits against this Town have been entered in the Superior Court during the year 1895. Those of John Coyle and of Charles P. Irwin were for injuries alleged to have resulted from defects in highways, and the Braintree & Weymouth Street Railway Co. assumed the defense of these actions. The latter of these has been settled and the former is pending.
The case of Holbrook & Bicknell . Weymouth, being an appeal from an award for land damage in laying a new street from Sea street to Bridge street, was settled without trial.
The suit of James L. Bates v. Weymouth, being an appeal from the award made for land on Great Hill taken by the Park Commissioners for a park ; the suit of Arthur Campbell . Wey- mouth, to recover damages for injuries alleged to have been caused by a defect in Chard street; and the suit of Margaret Sheehy, administratrix, v. Weymouth, to recover damages for fatal injuries to Patrick Sheehy, caused by the fall of the gravel bank owned by Nathaniel R. Ells, were pending at the end of the year.
