REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.


The Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth submit herewith their annual report, with a detailed statement of the expenditures under the various appropriations, for the year ending December 31,1898.


HIGHWAYS.


At the last annual meeting, the town voted to instruct the Selectmen to employ a Superintendent of Streets holding no other town oflice.


In compliance with this vote, on April 1, George F. Maynard was appointed to that office and entered at once upon its duties, at a salary of $800 a year, and his report appears on page 99.


We do not wish to be considered as of the opinion that under no circumstances would this method be the wisest to pursue in the management of the town highways. If twenty thousand dol- lars were at the disposal of this department, and a superintendent could be secured who would command on his merits a salary of fifteen or sixteen hundred dollars a year, and who with a gang of picked men with whom he should be present every day, should perform all the work, with the advice of the Selectmen, without special regard as to what part of the town might or might not get the greatest benefit in any given year, then this might be the wisest course to pursue ; but under the circumstances which pre- vail in our town, after giving careful, and as we believe unbiased consideration to the matter, we are emphatically of the opinion that in no way can so much be accomplished, nor as general sat-


8


isfaction given with any appropriation which is likely to be made, as to leave the Selectmen unhampered in the appointment of a superintendent. M


The appropriation for highway repairs was $10,238.22. There has been expended $11,623.75, an excess of $1,385.53.


Of the new streets and extensions of streets which have been accepted by the town, there remains to be constructed the whole or portions of the following : Phillips street, Bayview street, and the street from the angle on Lovell street to Great Hill Park.


We have but in part complied with the vote of the town, direct- ing that of the appropriation for repairs, $200.00 in each ward should be expended on sidewalks, for the reason that before the ' construction was entered upon in wards three, four, and five, it became apparent that the work then underway, and which it was essential should be completed, would fully use up the appropria- tion, which we did not feel warranted to exceed for this purpose, although it became necessary, in our judgment, to do so later in the season in order to put certain pieces of way in a passable con- dition for winter use.


UNION STREET.


The working of this street as laid out by the County Commis- sioners, has been completed, and the street accepted.


The Commissioners made a further award for land damage, of $215.00, which together with the original amount taxed upon the county, $5,233.00, has been received by the Town Treasurer.


The appropriation for the completion of the street, which was $2,000.00, has been exceeded by $46.76.


We have no hesitation in saying that this is now one of the best, if not the best of the gravel streets in town.


REMOVAL OF SNOW.


The appropriation for this purpose was $$4,369.53.


As the rememberance of the storms of last February and the more recent one, as well as more destructive, of November 27 and


9


28 is still fresh in memory, it need hardly be said that the cost for snow has been unusually large, amounting to $5,754.92, and ex- ceeding the appropriation by $1,385.39.


STATE HIGHWAYS.


The macadamizing of Aun Street was let out by the commission by contract to private parties and the work was completed early in the season, so that the town is now released from the care of this obscure street, which has no connection with any other street in town.


Bridge Street has also been completed from the Hingham to the Quincy Bridge, and accepted by the Commissioners. In the con- struction of this way the interests of the town have suffered ma- terially by reason of the supervision of the work being placed each year in different hands, and undoubtedly the cost has been in- creased thereby, but we have now nearly two miles of excellent macadam road, which is highly. appreciated by all persons having occassion to use it, either for business or pleasure.


The total cost of the work done on this street since its com- mencement has been $21,844.65, the approvals by the Commis- sioners amount to $14,185.66. This leaves a cost which has been borne by the town of $7,658.99.


For the town to have worked the widening of the County Commissioners, we consider that $5,000 would be a conservative estimate, so that the town may be said to have lost $2,658.99 by the working of these contracts.


This widening has been worked the whole of the way in con- nection with the construction of the State road, but this work, together with the making of the sidewalks, is not included in the approvals of the Commissioners. They do not assume the con- struction and maintenance of sidewalks, and in this connection we would report that the retaining wall and walk along the water front, easterly from the Pine Point House, were demolished by the tides during the storm of November 28, and an appropriation will be necessary for the purpose of rebuilding them.


As no appropriation was made at the last annual meeting for


10


the cost to the town of the working of the contract of 1897, it becomes necessary to show the two years together in this state- ment, that the excess may be provided for.


The expenditures for 1897 and 1898 were $8,924 72 The approvals by the Commission . 5,169 12


The cost to the town


3,755 60


The petition for the taking by the State of the whole or portions of Washington and Main streets has not yet been acted upon by the Commissioners, but we are informed by them that it will be taken up soon after the first of January, 1899.


STREET RAILWAYS.


The Quincy and Boston company have built upon the location granted them last year upon Bridge street, from Sea to North street.


A further extension of time has been granted to the Braintree and Weymouth company for construction upon their location on Main, Derby, Hollis and Randolph streets.


A location was granted to the Rockland and Abington company for the extension of their tracks on Pond street to the Abington line. The controlling. interest in this company has since passed into new hands, and we understand that the new management will not build upon this location.


A location has been granted to the Holbrook and Weymouth company upon Weymouth, Randolph, Forest and Columbian streets, to Main street.


At the date of this report petitions are pending as follows : From the Quincy and Boston company, for a location from a point at or near the Braintree line, over Commercial street, Wash- ington square, Front, Summer, Federal and Washington streets, to the Hingham line ; also from the same point, over Commercial street, Washington square and Washington street, to the Hing- ham line; also one from the Braintree and Weymouth company,


11


from the junction of Front and Hunt streets, over Front street, Washington square and Commercial street, to the Weymouth station of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company ; also from the same company, to connect with their present track at Lincoln square, thence over Broad to Front street, over Front to Sterling street, and over the latter to the Braintree line.


At the last annual meeting the town instructed the Selectmen to appeal, to the Railroad Commissioners for a proper regulation of fares on the Braintree and Weymouth Street Railway ; realiz- ing the uncertainty of the result of such an appeal, we have sought to secure the removal of the cause of complaint without having recourse thereto.


Several interviews were had with the officials of the company concerning the difficulty, and partly from this and partly as an outcome of a railroad hearing held November 5, we received, under date of Nov. 12. 1898, the following communication, signed by the superintendent of the company : "We have notified con- ductors, extending the transfer limit via Jackson square from Lincoln square to Washington square, to take effect Novem- ber 14.


" Passengers can then go to or from any point between Column- bian square and Washington square via Jackson square for five cents."


We have since received the promise of the officials of the com- pany that upon the connection of their tracks with those of the Holbrook and Weymouth Company, which is expected to be not later than June 1 of the present year, they will discontinue the use of the coupon tickets and take passengers around Columbian square for a single fare.


POLICE.


Night patrol were appointed in Wards two, three and five, and two special police, as usual. Aside from this but little police service has been authorized. The appropriations were $4,241.80. There has been expended $3,895.66, more than a thousand dol- lars less thân in 1897, but the balance, $346.14, is plainly insuffi-


12


cient for the payment of the officers for the remainder of the year.


The enforcement of liquor laws was again placed in the hands of Officers Butler and Fitzgerald, who have with the ready assist- ance of the patrol kept the sale of intoxicants well suppressed ; their report appears on page 179.


MISCELLANEOUS.


This account is usually subject to its full share of criticism, but it will be noticed by a perusal of the detailed statement that there is comparatively little here over which the Selectmen have any control, and we do not, therefore, hold ourselves responsible for the fact that the appropriation was inadequate to meet the calls made upon it for the year.


We recommend that the payment of Inspectors of Animals and Provisions, which is carried in this account, be provided for in the appropriation for Town Officers, where it more properly belongs.


TOWN HOUSE.


As it now seems probable that access to the Town House will soon be had by street cars, we advise that the building be put in repair, and that additional safe room be provided for.


ELECTRIC LIGHTS.


The number of incandescent street lights which we report this year is 277 and of arc lights 33, for which we have continued to pay $17 and $70, respectively.


The controlling interest in the Light & Power Company has passed into new hands, and improvements are now under way in the plant, which, it is promised. will make it one of the most efficient in the State.


13


BILLS PAYABLE.


There has been paid one note of 85,233 for money borrowed for the payment of land damage on Union street, and one note of $5,500 on the town debt.


The amount of notes and bonds outstanding against the town, not including one of $20,000.00 for money borrowed in anticipa- tion of taxes, is $111,500.00. It will be necessary to provide for one note of $5,500.00, which becomes dne March 10, 1899 ; for oue of $12,000.00, dne May 1, 1899, and for one due January 1, 1900, of $15.000.00.


SOLDIERS, RELIEF.


The requirements for payments under the provisions of Chapter 447, Acts of 1890, continue to increase, and we see no probality of their being any less for several years to come, than they have been the past year. The appropriation was $3,199.24, of which there has been expended $3,072.82, leaving a balance of $126.42, which is clearly insufficient to complete the financial year.


There has been expended under the provisions of Chapter 570, of the Acts of 1898, for soldiers and for families of soldiers who are now in the service of the United States $113.65, for which no appropriation was made.


GUIDE BOARDS.


The guide boards which are required to be provided, we report as being in general in good condition, some of them will need to be renewed during the coming season.


SUITS AT LAW.


At the beginning of 1898 two actions only were pending against Weymonth, namely : The action of Henry C. Gardner v. Inhab- itants of Weymouth, and the action of Arthur Campbell v. Inhab- itants of Weymouth. The former of these is now pending, no action in court having been had in the case since 1895, and the


14


latter action was tried by a jury at Dedham in May last with the result of a verdict for the defendant. 4 On the 31st day of December a suit was commenced in the Superior Court for Norfolk County by Thomas H. Humphrey and two others vs. the Town of Weymouth, to recover damages for injury to their property by the overflow of water.


Detailed statements of the expenditures under the various ap- propriations will be found in their appropriate places.
