DIGHTON,
For the Year Ending December 31 1907.
TAUNTON, MASS .: GORHAM, PRINTER, - WEIR STREET. 1908.
Selectmen's Report.
To the inhabitants of Dighton :-
The organization of the Board of Selectmen, Overseers of Poor and Health was affected by the choice of Charles S. Chace as Chairman and Secretary.
By vote of the town at its last annual meeting a committee from various sections of the town was appointed to ascertain how much money was needed to be raised by taxation for the support of the different departments required by law to be properly maintained.
The following gentlemen were appointed :
William H. Walker, George M. Chase,
Herbert A. Briggs, James N. Paul,
Josiah S. Place, Edmund Hathaway,
Joseph K. Milliken.
After a lengthy deliberation the committee unanimously reported to raise by taxation as follows : $3,000 for teachers' salary : $850 for janitors and fuel : $400 school incidentals: $400 for books and supplies : $1,400 for High School tuition : $500 for music and drawing : $600 for transportation of High School pupils : $50 for medical inspection: $250 for school supervision. Total $7,450 for schools. Last year $6,100, an increase of $1,350 for schools. Highways $2,500, 1906, $1,100, an increase of $1,400. Town debt $1,500, 1906 $900, an increase of $600. Poor $1,000, 1906 $1,300, the only

decrease, $300. Incidentals $400, 1906 $400, no change. Interest $600, 1906 nothing. Library $100, 1906 same. Berkley and Dighton Bridge $200, 1906 same. Memorial Day $40, 1906 same. Memorial Stone at Provincetown $40, 1906 nothing. Police $500, 1906 nothing. Platting town $600, 1906 nothing. Firemen's Relief $100, 1906 nothing.
The increase in appropriations for 1907 over 1906 were as follows :

This report was favorably received by the town and the various items reported were unanimously adopted.
This action caused the increase of the tax rates from $12.20 on $1,000 in 1906 to $15.80 in 1907, the same as the rate was in 1899. The rate in 1900 was $16.30 on $1,000. The increase in the valuation of the town for the year was $102,875.
The street railway tax is $819.47, increase of $219.47 over last year. Excise tax $1,284.19, an increase of $88.19.
The corporation tax is $169.92. Bank tax, $636.54. We paid the County a tax of $1,405.07, decrease of $108.65. The State $1,160, an increase of $110. Repairs on State

Road, $25.74. Fish privileges sold for $30. Paid Middleboro for watching herrings $20.
The High School law at our request was amended at the last session of the Legislature so that it is optional with the town to establish and maintain a high school or send the scholars to adjoining or nearby cities by paying tuition and reasonable transportation by cars.
The Legislature gave the Taunton Gas Co. the right to introduce gas into the town when the consent of the Select- men was obtained. A portion of the north part of the town has already been supplied.
CITY WATER.
A water bill was passed by the Legislature of 1907 permiting the City of Taunton to introduce water into the town.
The bill was carefully drawn and the town and tax payers in all sections amply protected. We have petitioned the City of Taunton, agreeable to the provisions of the bill, to introduce water into the town.
This business proposition has been approved by the Legislature after very careful consideration: a favorable report has been made by the City Council, and the City Solicitor has pronounced the legal part of the enterprise correct, but the Water Commissioners report "inexpedient." The interests of both municipalities are somewhat identical and mutual : they need us and we need them. We can benefit each other. We do our banking and trading with them and the more prosperous we are, the greater will be our business relations.
Some of the leading citizens of Taunton suggest as a remedy the annexation of the North Village so that section would be on an equal footing with the rest of that part of
6
ANNUAL REPORT.
the city. We do not believe the town would favorably entertain the scheme or that the North Village would approve. The tax rate would be increased in the part that went to Taunton and probably in the remaining part of the town. It is true the village would get fire protection. However, that is not very encouraging if the protection is such as displayed when the Furnace burned on the Taunton side. Then it would cost the city just as large an outlay as under the proposed scheme, and the city would get no interest on the money invested. There are some advantages to the city in getting the dead ends of their water pipes at the Dighton line and at Westville connected.
It looks like a good proposition if we pay six per cent on the cost to build in Dighton and the city collect the water rates.
We have been informed that business men interested in new and old industries are looking for business locations. We trust our citizens will give them encouragement and make efforts to advertise our good rail and water accommoda- tion and many natural facilities for business.
The decennial census of 1905 made our population 2070, an increase of 273 in ten years. Should business improve and a liberal policy be adopted, we see no reason why a still greater increase should not appear at the next numeration. We think that a reduction in the tax rate can be made and probably a return to its former low rate.
MUDDY COVE STREET.
We wish to call the attention of the town again to the dangerous condition of the street leading from Pleasant street to the railroad. Last year Mr. Daniel D. Andrews' grocery team went over the unprotected north embankment of the street into muddy cove. Fortunately the damages were
7
ANNUAL REPORT.
only $20.48 and Mr. Andrews asked only for actual damages. With other parties to deal with we might have had to pay more : and then there is great danger of some one receiving injuries and recovering the full extent of the law. Suitable protection by a fence at a small cost will remedy this difficulty and may save the vexation and delay of a law suit and the attendant expenses.
STATE AID.
The payments for State Aid is as follows : Dec. 1906, $71; Jan. 1907, $79: Feb. $83; March, April, May, June, July, August and Sept. each #87; Oct. and Nov. each $91. Total, $1,024 for the year. Beneficiaries for Dec. were 20 ; for Jan. 1907, 17. Highest individual payment six dollars per month, lowest four dollars.
MACADAM ROADS.
In another part of the report will be found a full report of the doings of the committee on macadam roads.
Our experience and observation and what we have learned from retired and active road and bridge builders leads us to the conclusion that it is unwise for us to own and run a stone crushing plant, and if we need crushed stone, hire them crushed by the ton. The law allows the Massachusetts Highway Commission to aid towns with a valuation of more than one million dollars in building macadam roads.
If we should deem it advisable to build more macadam roads, they would probably aid in the enterprise by granting a liberal allowance.
We believe that a part of our usual expenditure of $3,000 for roads should be used in the construction of macadam roads.

ANNUAL REPORT.
JURY LAWS.
The Legislature has materially changed our Jury Laws. It is now in the hands of Registrars of Voters, Election Commissioners and Selectmen. Lists have to be prepared on or before the first day of July in each year of such voters of the city or town possessing good moral character, sound judgment and free from legal exceptions.
Before the first day of August of each year the Jury list with the address and occupation must be prepared, a copy delivered to the Mayor, to the Clerk of the City or Town, to the Clerk and Assistant Clerk of the Supreme Judicial and Superior Courts.
If the Justice holding court finds a juror has been convic- ted of a scandalous crime or guilty of gross immorality or found unqualified or unfit to serve as a juror, the Justice may discharge him and order his name removed from the jury box.
THE SEWERAGE PROBLEM.
In 1895 the Legislature enacted a bill for a sewerage system for the City of Taunton providing that its disposal should be agreeable to the orders of the State Board of Health, and later perfected the bill providing for a pumping station and a filter bed in the town of Berkley.
At that time the towns on Taunton River and citizens of the city vigorously protested against the further pollution of Taunton River by emptying therein the city's sewerage. A number of hearings were held before the State Board of Health with the result that the Board gave the city a number of years to perform the work at the end of which time the city asked for a further extension which was granted under various pretexts. Thirteen years have passed. Larger quantities of sewerage are flowing direct into the river and it
9
ANNUAL REPORT.
is naturally becoming more polluted, and in dry seasons and at low tides in warm weather, the sickening stench arising therefrom is offensive and a breeding place for disease. The vessels formerly used to take the water for culinary purposes from the river and it was clear and crystal water and was resorted to for bathing.
In former years our herring privileges sold for $250 each year : now we get $30. Oyster privileges sold for $600: now we get $150. And if there is no improvement when the present lease expires, they will be worthless.
Mr. Green, who has leased the privilege for ten years has dredged the river on the oyster beds, taking up the shells exposing them to the air, removing the slime from the shell and re-planting them, hoping to get a set. The town's financial loss is $670 per year. We are told that the loss in Berkley on account of the oyster privilege is about $1,300 a year.
The extension of the time to complete work granted by the State Board of Health expires July 1 1910, and work should be completed by that time, and all sewage removed from the river.
We do not wish to be the cause of any hardship, but when the happiness and health of a large and growing community is jeopardized by such unsanitary conditions, we feel that vigorous effort should be adopted to prevent any further unnecessary delay. If the question was only a financial one we would not be so persistent.
