SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Arlington Avenue.
Quite an extensive alteration and improvement have been inade on this street at Alewife Brook, by widening the same, together with the bridge, to conform with the width of the street as laid out by the County Commissioners some years since. A heavy retaining wall was laid on the southerly side, and a fifteen-inch drain pipe one hundred feet in length put in, which takes all the water from that side of the street directly into the brook. The bridge has been widened, being built of hard pine and covered with stone and gravel ; one half the expense of which is to be borne by the city of
Cambridge. A section of the street near the estate of Walter Russell has been repaired by crowning with stone and gravel. That portion of the street at the Willows (so called) has been repicked and crowned with stone and gravel. There are several sections upon this street which very much need crowning with stone, some of the most needed being in the vicinity of Teel Street ; from Medford Street to a point near Tufts Street; a short section near Academy Street; another near Brattle Street ; and a sec- tion near Park Avenue ; and that portion from the estate of Sandy Bowles to Lexington line. That portion of the street near the old brick schoolhouse (so called) is very narrow and should be widened to conform to the width of the street on either side. By the rebuilding of Bow Street, we have been enabled to dispose of the water coming from Appleton Street and Appleton Court by laying a culvert across the avenue and putting in a twelve-inch drain pipe underground to the brook on Bow Street. We think the great trouble experienced in the past has been entirely remedied.
9
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Appleton Street.
A portion of this street has been gravelled west of Park Avenue. Other portions will need attention the ensuing season.
Bow Street.
During the past season an order was received from the County Commissioners to straighten and widen this street from the avenue to Winchester line; that portion from the avenue to the Boston and Lowell Railroad to be completed the present season, the balance before Jan. 1, 1886. The first portion has been built to their acceptance. The street thus far has been quite an expensive one, consequent upon the large amount of retaining walls which had to be built, the removing of buildings, and the building of the bridge and abutments. There was used upon the street 3,231 loads of material exclusive of the 354 perch of stone used in the re- taining walls and bridge abutments ; 217 perch of stone in addition have been laid in retaining walls north of the rail- road. The bridge is built of hard pine timber and covered with tar, stone, and gravel. The land damage has been paid by the county, and the commissioners have awarded the town the sum of $575, to be paid from the county treas- ury whenever the street is completed to their acceptance to the Winchester line. The amount expended upon this street thus far has been $2,897.66. We would suggest that the name of this street from the avenue to the railroad be changed from Bow to Forest Street, and that the portion of the original street not now in use be discontinued.
Beacon Street.
The gutters have been cleared and sidewalk raised.
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Chestnut Street.
The retaining wall on the north side of this street has been relaid and newly railed, also the entire length has been grav- elled. A cesspool and water grate has been put in.
Dudley Street.
The entire length of this street should be coated with gravel.
Eastern Avenue.
Some portions of this street need gravelling.
Grove Street.
Much trouble is experienced upon this street by the large amount of water coming from the main avenue. To remedy this, we would suggest the laying of a drain from the avenue to the brook near the saw factory, thus not only relieving the trouble on this street, but also relieving a more serious trouble upon the avenue, as the grates and culverts are inad- equate to take all the water that comes from the hills at times, and frequently much of it has to pass down to Mill Street before it reaches an outlet.
Highland Avenue.
This street has become very flat and rough, and much needs regravelling.
Hillside Avenue.
This street, recently accepted by the town, will need con- siderable of an outlay the ensuing season.
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Lake Street.
That portion of this street from the main avenue to the railroad should be crowned with stone and gravel early in the spring.
North Union Street.
The section near Decatur Street very much needs repairs.
Mt. Vernon Street
Needs repairs the entire length, which can be done at no very great expense, by clearing the gutters and coating with gravel.
Mystic Street.
The hill near the residence of George Winn has been repaired with gravel, and a section of the hill near Mr. Huffmaster's has been crowned with stone and gravel. The remaining portion to Winchester line should be repaired in like manner the ensuing season.
Park Avenue
Is in very fair condition, but will need some gravelling the ensuing season. The concrete gutters and crossings have been partially repaired. The sidewalk between Florence Avenue and the Hawley House should be graded, and some'. additional gutter should be laid.
Park Street.
The gutters have been cleared and sidewalks repaired.
Pleasant Street.
But little has been done on this street the past season, except at its junction with the avenue. At this point quite
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
an improvement has been made by removing the water grate near the hay scales farther up the street, and the building of a catch-basin, and conducting the water from thence to the cesspool near the bank building by a twelve-inch drain pipe, and thus enabling us to properly grade the street at this point. The grades of the street in many places need to be reduced in order to properly dispose of the surface water, which at times is very troublesome. Some portion of the street should be attended to the ensuing season.
River Street.
A street much travelled, and needs some attention. Some method should be adopted for disposing of the water at its junction with Warren Street. By the putting in of a culvert with proper catch-basins and grates across Broadway, across the square near the drinking fountain, and then crossing Warren Street, we think all . the surface water in that locality, which is a great nuisance, could be taken down River Street to the river.
Spring Valley and Spring Lane.
These have been repaired the past season.
Summer Street
Has been repaired near the Almshouse, and at its junction with Mystic. The concrete crossing near Fowle's Mill has been relaid, which was heretofore quite dangerous.
Teel Street.
This street, accepted by the town at its March meeting, has been graded and put in good condition. The surface water in this locality has been provided for by laying a ten
13
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
and twelve inch drain pipe through the land of Henderson Brothers to a point emptying into Alewife Brook.
Wollaston Avenue
Has been considerably washed the past season and needs some repairs. A sidewalk should be graded at least on one side of the street. Gutters should also be paved.
Walnut Street.
Some portions of this street need gravelling.
Westminster Street.
A portion of this street has recently been accepted by the town to the width of fifty feet, and sidewalks have been graded. A retaining wall has been laid adjoining the land of Mrs. Freeman. This street is now in good condition.
Bridges and Culverts.
As has been before stated, the bridge at Alewife Brook has been widened. The Medford Street bridge has been re- planked, and a new bridge built on Bow Street. Four new culverts have been put in, and several taken up and repaired. Twelve grates have been set, and nine catch-basins have been put in.
Watering Streets.
The same routes have been watered as the year previous.
Guide or Sign Boards.
Fifteen boards have been put up, nine, of which were at private ways. Some method should be adopted to detect and punish persons who maliciously deface and destroy these boards.
14
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Railings.
Railings have been built on Bow and Chestnut Streets, and on the Avenue near the brook, and have been repaired in other places. Railings should be put on Lowell Street, near the residence of John Brady.
Stone Crusher and Stone.
Soon after commencing to crush stone last spring, the crusher which had become much worn was broken, and was not considered worth repairing. An appropriation of $800 was granted by the town at its meeting in August, and after an investigation of the merits of different machines it was decided to purchase the Marsden crusher, which has been put in and satisfactorily tested. We have on hand, and piled in the yard, a large amount of stone ready for crushing.
Gravel.
Early in the spring we commenced procuring gravel, for use on the streets, upon a street formerly laid out by the Arlington Land Company, which was given to us by the owners of the land through which it passed. We have found it an excellent quality of gravel, and have utilized over four thousand loads, thus saving the gravel in our own bank, and also opening a way of easy access to the town land.
Teams and Tools.
Two horses, having become quite old and unfit for service, have been sold. These ought to be replaced. One new two-horse cart and one pair of double harnesses have been added, so that the actual value of teams and tools is equal to that of a year ago.
15

Almshouse.
Mr. George W. Austin and 'wife, as warden and matron, have fully maintained their former good reputation.
The buildings, furniture, and fixtures are in as good condi- tion as last year, natural wear excepted.

There have been, the past year, five persons at insane asylums, supported wholly by the town. The last of De- cember one of them died.
Street Lamps.
There have been five new street lamps erected this year, two gas and three gasoline. One (gas) on Linwood Street,
16
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
and one (gas) on the Avenue, at head of street leading to railroad station. This one was paid for by the town. Three gasoline on Brattle Street. The gasoline lamps have been lighted and kept in repair by the Globe Gas Light Company. The gas lamps have been under the charge of Mr. J. H. Fermoyle.
Coal.
Mr. David Richards, being the lowest bidder, was awarded the contract to furnish coal, at the price of $5.45 per ton, and fifty-five cents extra for Lehigh.
Cemeteries.
The cemeteries, for the past year, have been under the care of Mr. John B. Hartwell, who has performed his work faithfully. There was an appropriation of $500 made last spring by the town for the purpose of "introducing water, setting out trees, and laying out paths." The water was in- troduced and three stand-pipes erected, but before we could proceed to lay out paths it was found necessary to restake a large portion of the lots; the expense attending this work was so great that we were unable to do any more than to put in the water and restake the lots.
We would recommend that a certain amount of the pro- ceeds from the sale of lots each year be expended, under the direction of the committee, in improving the cemeteries.
Highland Hose House.
The unexpended balance of appropriation last year was reappropriated. A bell was put in, cellar bottom cemented, and trough for washing hose built. For further details of expenditures we refer you to the Treasurer's report.
17
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Town Debt.
There has been $5,000 of the town debt paid this year, and there will be $21,000 falling due April 9, 1885, to be provided for.
Town House.
We would call your attention to the shabby condition of the town hall. Both the exterior and interior need a thor- ough repairing, and, as a matter of economy, should be attended to at once.
We would suggest taking the rear of the room recently occupied by the Library, fitting it up as a waiting-room to the hall above, and connecting them by a flight of stairs. It is very evident that such a room is much needed.
Licenses.
The town having by a large majority voted to grant licenses, we have issued three first-class, one second-class, two third-class, one fifth-class, and two apothecaries' licenses. The amount received, $1,402 00
Deducting one fourth paid to State, leaves 1,051 50
Police.
On the first day of January the police force consisted of Eugene Mead as chief, Patrick J. Shean and Garret Barry as patrolmen. At a meeting of your board in March, the same gentlemen were reappointed. Subsequently Mr. M. J. O'Brien was appointed ; and during the summer a vacancy occurring, - by the death of Mr. Shean, - Mr. O'Brien was appointed to fill his place. The following is the report of the Chief of Police : -

Ten search warrants for liquor have been sworn out, but liquor was found in only three cases ; two of these were in private houses, and the liquor could not be held for want of evidence of a sale. The other case was fined one hundred dollars and costs. In one case of violating the liquor law, one witness swore to five sales in one day, but notwithstand- ing this, the judge decided against us. One beer wagon was seized, and the two men with it were arrested ; they were each fined in the lower court fifty dollars and costs.
Four lost children have been found and returned home.
All fires except that of the old pest-house have been attended by one or more officers.
The sending of extra officers to Spy Pond Grove has been done without extra expense to the town.
On July 1, M. J. O'Brien was appointed as regular officer, and, after the death of P. J. Shean, was appointed to take
19
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
his place. I would suggest that a third officer be appointed for night duty for the better protection of Pleasant, Academy, and Russell Streets.
Three hundred and sixty-three tramps have been sent to the almshouse for lodging, and sixty-three have been lodged at the station.
Respectfully submitted,
EUGENE MEAD, Chief of Police.
Fire Department.
The condition and details of the Fire Department will be found in Chief Engineer Gott's report, to which we refer you.
Mr. Samuel E. Kimball resigned as selectman, etc., July 1. At town meetings held Aug. 4 and 20, articles were put in the warrants to see if the town would fill the vacancy occasioned by his resignation, but the town at each meeting voted not to do so.
For a more detailed account of the receipts and expendi- tures of the year, we would refer you to Treasurer's report.
