REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
Your committee, in presenting their report, trust that the citizens have examined the amount and character of work performed during the year, with their usual watchful care, therefore rendering a full report unnecessary, otherwise than as a record for future reference.
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES.
General repairs have been under the superintendence of Mr. S. E. Kimball, whosc faithful discharge of duty, com- bined with marked ability for the position, has resulted in the performance of a large amount of work, substantial in character and worthy of imitation in the future.
NORTH UNION STREET
has been graded, culvert built, and the street placed in good repair, at an expense of about $400.
ARLINGTON AVENUE.
Forty-seven hundred and fifty feet of this avenue, from Mill Street to residence of Mr. Freeman, has been graded with stone at a cost of $1.00 per lineal foot. Also thirteen hundred and fifty feet from Lake Street to point of connec- tion with work of last year, at cost of $1.75 per lineal foot.
REPORT OF THE SELECTMIEN.
Your committee feel it proper in this connection to re- mark the fact that the Town has but little gravel available, at present source of supply, and as cost of transportation is no more on stone than on gravel, while the durability of the one must be largely in excess of the other, economy would suggest that more rather than less stone should be used in the future, and especially upon all streets in the lower part of the town, where the principal cost lies in transportation.
If the Town favor the use of stone more generally, an appropriation of $2000 should be made to purchase a larger engine and boiler than the one now in use, and arrange the machine so that power could be used to remove the stone when crushed, into hoppers, from which carts could be loaded without labor or delay. This would dispense with four men, and permit the accomplishment of a larger amount of work at less cost.
MOUNT VERNON STREET
has been re-located at a cost of $145, for damages and im- provements adjudged at that sum, of which $100 has been paid, and the balance will soon be adjusted, thereby accom- plishing this improvement through the liberality of inter- ested parties, without cost to the Town. Your committee recommend that this street be graded the coming season, " and that an appropriation of $1000 be made for that pur- pose.
HIGHLAND AVENUE.
Contract for this work was awarded to Mr. Bernard Mc- Carroll, of Somerville, for the sum of $7,855. The work is now being performed, and the street will be completed to Spring Lane, by June 1, 1872. Building the street full width and sidewalks renders cost more than the appropriation, which was $5,500, but this work would soon be demanded,
5
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
and could be performed much cheaper now than at a future time, hence your committee believed it for the interest of the Town to complete the work. Belmont not having lo- cated their street, we were obliged to stop at Spring Lane, leaving some thirty rods of road not located.
LAKE STREET.
Through the liberality of Mr. Charles O. Gage and Mr. James Durgin, in giving the Town land to straighten Lake Street, your committee have been enabled to improve the line of this street (from near the Belmont line to Mr. Dur- gin's estate), an improvement long needed and desired by those familiar with the street. The lands released from road purposes (when the work is performed), have been sold to Messrs. Hill, Frost, and trustees of Francis Hill's estate, for the sum of $320 (subject, of course, to the con- sent of the Town), which amount will probably pay cost of the improvement. Hence by a generous appreciation of the question, both by our own citizens and these residents of an adjacent town, a desirable improvement has been arranged, and the accomplishment of the work secured without prob- able cost to the Town. Your committee hope citizens will more generally adopt this course in future improvements, as conducive to a saving in time and money, and as eco- nomical, therefore rendering more improvements available.
MILL STREET
has been graded, and a new stone bridge built, at a cost of $1,250. Of this sum Mr. Cyrus Cutter is to pay as per con- tract, $418.45, leaving cost to Town of $831.55. The new portion of Mill Street has been built at cost of $1350.
A stone bridge has also been erected on Mystic Street, at a cost of $1,250. These bridges are substantial in character, and will not require repairs for many years.
6
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
FRANKLIN STREET
has been located thirty-five feet wide, and extended to the Avenue, damages awarded, and work commenced, so far as removing loam and replacing sand. Early in the Spring, this street can be completed.
GUIDE BOARDS
have been placed wherever needed, and the same are in good condition.
Received for repairs on sidewalks, $269.30
Due for repairs on sidewalks, 307.00
$576.30
Expended for labor on highways and bridges, $9,499.55 ; for material incidental bills, $7,099.90; total for the year, $16,599.45. There should be deducted from this amount, $3,094.75, chargeable to appropriations on Highland Ave- nue, Mill Strect, and amounts receivable, which are included in the total amount, leaving $13,504.70, as the net amount expended in repairs &c., for the past year. We recommend an appropriation of $15,000 for Highways and Bridges, for the coming year.
THE POOR OF THE TOWN.
The Almshouse has been under the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Kimball, and managed to the entire satisfaction of your Committee. Expense for the year, $1,810.25. Ex- pense of painting house and new shed, $672.36. An ap- propriation of $2,000 will be required for the coming year, for Ahushouse expenses.
POOR OUT OF THE ALMSHOUSE.
Received from the State, $10. From the town of Bel-

mont, their share of expense, $35.20. From J. W. Peirce, Guardian, for board of Jerome Peirce, $47.75. Town of Lexington $20, for medical attendance. Total, $112.95.
Expended for this purpose, $533.68.
Mr. Alanson Blanchard has returned from the Hospital in restored health, and fully competent to take his position in all our walks of life.
Mr. Jerome Peirce, in the judgment of the physician, will be able to return in the Spring, which will relieve the town of a large portion of this expense.
We therefore recommend an appropriation of $400 for this purpose.
STREET LAMPS.
Appropriation $1,800. Expended $1,306.74. Repairs have been made upon the lamps during the year, and they are now in good condition.
We cannot forbear remarking in this connection, that dis- satisfaction exists among our citizens at the unjust action of the Gas Co., in refusing to extend their pipes, even for short distances, and where in some instances several families would be accommodated, unless said parties would purchase stock to cqual amount with the cost of laying the pipes. If the Company propose to force sale of their stock in this manner, or refuse accommodation to our citizens, the Town should take such measures as will insure a change, favorable to our citizens.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Engine and Apparatus has been under the charge of Mr. Abijah Frost, and is in fair condition.
Expended during the year, $141.55. Engine house has been repaired and painted during the year, at cost of $228.85. We recommend an appropriation for the Fire Department of $300.00.
8
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
TOWN HOUSE.
Incidentals for the year,
$433 93
Mr. Hartwell's salary as janitor and ringing bell, 400 00
Repairs, oiling, and painting building, 844 59
Total, $1.678 52
Portion of above expense was incurred by repairing damage caused by the gale. Receipts from all sources, $750.50.
CEMETERIES.
Expended during the year, $27.60. Receipts from the sale of three lots in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, $65.00.
The purchase of additional land, adjacent to Mount Pleas- ant Cemetery, has been made, and the property deeded to the Town. Appropriation, $27,600 ; expended, $27,514.
In view of the large area of this purchase, and the amount of money required to secure it, combined with other sums necessary to lay it out, grade walks, remove and erect fences, and to beautify with trees, shrubs, &c., your committee would suggest that the Town decide the question : Whether they will sell to non-residents or not, providing authority is received from the Legislature to do so. And we recom- mend, for the purpose of calling attention to the subject, that an appropriation of $5,000 be made, to be expended in procuring plans, laying out the ground and lots, erecting fences, and fitting some four or five acres ready for sale. And suggest that all monies received for lots, shall be paid to the Treasurer of the Town ; one-third of all sums received from the sale of lots, to be used in beautifying the Ceme- tery, and two-thirds of all sums received from the sale of lots, shall be placed in the Treasury of the Town, and to the credit of the Cemetery account, until such a time as these sums, with interest, shall equal the amount and interest at that date, expended by the Town, for the purchase of land, and expense to that date, and after the Town has been re-
9
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
imbursed for all sums of money expended ; then all monies received from the sale of lots to be expended upon the Cemetery. The reason for this lies in the fact that if lots are sold to non-residents, after the purchase money, interest and expense has been paid, it is no more than right that the balance of money should be expended in this way, and would it not be an inducement to non-residents to purchase, as well as to others, from the fact that this fund would se- cure the care and attention which is too often neglected. Less than one-half of this area, when sold, will pay all cost and expense to the Town, and with proper attention given to the subject of presenting the advantages of this fund, we believe a large number of lots can be sold, as soon as they are prepared, both to residents and non-residents, and the money expended would thereby be more promptly returned to the Treasury.
TOWN DEBT.
The present amount of Town Debt, exclusive of Water Debt, is $77,017.56. Your committee would recommend that the Town authorize the Treasurer, under the direction of the Selectmen, to fund the same at such times and in such sums as they shall consider for the interest of the Town. Addition to Town Debt since last year, $25,266.41, showing aside from the purchase of land for Cemetery, which amounted to $27,514, a reduction of $2,247.59.

RUSSELL PARK.
The work required to complete grading, walks, gate, &c. has been performed, and trees set around the Park, at an expense of $848.59 ; and we know of no further call upon the generosity of the Town for this object, other than a nominal sum per year, which may be charged to general expense.
Respectfully submitted.
