The mild weather of last winter, with its frequent freez- ing and thawing, kept our streets soft, and the spring found them in many places badly cut up, and the larger part of the months of March and April were devoted to cleaning and patching them.
The whole number of loads of stone and gravel used on the streets the past year, is 9380, over 2000 more than last year.

Arlington Avenue.
The avenue from Mill street to the residence of Mr. J. F. Hobbs, a distance of about 4500 feet, has been picked, coated with cracked stone and blue gravel, to a depth of nine inches in the centre, and thoroughly rolled, making a very fine piece of road.
In rolling and picking we used a steam roller hired from the city of Cambridge, which, in our judgment, not only lessened the expense, but gave us a much better road.
Other portions of the avenue should be treated in like manner, particularly those opposite the estates of Samuel Butterfield and F. F. Squire, also between Water and Mill streets, near lane leading to stone crusher, and from top of

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
hill near Lowell street to Vine street. With this done we shall have an avenue equal to any in the county, and one that will need but very little repairing for some time.
Academy Street.
The drainage of this street is very bad, and should receive the attention of the Selectmen as soon as possible. The road bed itself is good, but no provision whatever is made . for taking care of the surface water, and in times of heavy showers or protracted rain storms, that portion near the estate of Mr. M. N. Rice is flooded with water, rendering it almost impassable for citizens living near by and beyond. If the street should be raised at this point and lowered at the junction of Maple street, making a true grade to Arling- ton avenue, or a drain pipe with proper catch basins laid to a point near Mr. Nickerson's estate, the trouble would be remedied, and, in justice to the abutters, should be done as soon as possible. Other portions of this street should receive immediate attention, particularly that adjoining the estate of Mr. William T. Foster; the retaining wall at this place needs rebuilding and some provision made for taking care of water which collects here in great quantities. The sidewalks are rough and very uneven and should be repaired.
Appleton Street.
From Vine street to Park avenue, and from top of hill to Lexington line, has been gravelled.
The grade of this street in many places is very steep, which makes it quite expensive to keep in repair. The gut- ters should be paved or concreted.
Brattle Street.
This street has been covered with blue gravel its entire length, the gutters from R. R. crossing to Dudley street have been paved, and the street is now in good repair.
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Broadway
Has been repaired in many places with a light coat of gravel and, with the exception of a portion near Alewife brook, which should be attended to next season, the street is in good order.
Bartlett Avenue.
This avenue having been put in good repair last year, but little was needed to be done this. Concrete sidewalks and granite edgestones have been laid by E. Nelson Blake, Dr. Libby and L. P. Bartlett.
Only a portion of this street has been accepted by the town.
Dudley Street
Has been crowned by picking the outside edges and scraping to the centre, then covered with blue gravel its entire length making a much needed improvement to this street.
Mill Street.
That portion of this street left unfinished last year has been completed this, and the street is now in good condition.
Mystic Street.
Through the liberality of Mr. Samuel A. Fowle, in giv- ing the town land, this street has been widened to a uniform width of 45 feet, and a retaining wall 200 feet in length built on the east side; the street has been coated with cracked stone and blue gravel from Chestnut to Summer streets, and otherwise put in good condition.
Portions of this street near the estates of Samuel A. Fowle, H. W. Spurr and S. R. Smith should be repaired early in the spring.
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Lake Street,
Between Hill's lane and the Ice track, has been put in good condition by lowering about 15 inches, thus giving a sufficient grade to carry off the surface water that col- lected in large quantities ; as the material for doing this . work had to be teamed a long distance, it made the job quite expensive.
The street from the R. R. crossing to the lane should be covered with stone and gravel soon.
Medford Street.
But little has been done to this street this year. Next year it should be thoroughly repaired with stone and gravel.
Park Avenue
Has been kept in good condition by opening the gutters and such other repairs as were needed from time to time.
Pleasant Street.
A few years ago this street was surveyed, a plan made and grade established. A large proportion of it was built in accordance with the plans ; about 1500 feet near the resi- dence of C. O. Gage, Esq., remains unfinished and should be completed as soon as possible.
Summer Street,
From Mill street to the estate of Mr. Cyrus Cutter, and from Mystic street to the estate of Mrs. Sarah Winn (that portion between Mrs. Winn's and Mill street was repaired last sea- son), has been put in good condition by crowning with blue gravel, rebuilding the retaining wall near Fowle's mill and clearing gutters.
Jason Street.
A concrete gutter has been laid on the east side of this street, and edgestone has been set by the town under the usual condition.
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Sidewalks.
The concrete sidewalks of the town have received a thorough repairing this year, and not before needed, they having become very rough and uneven and in some · places dangerous ; nearly all have been recoated and are now in good condition to last a number of years without any expense. About 1242 feet of edgestone have been set by the town, the abutters furnishing the stone. The sidewalks of some of the side streets have been repaired with stone dust from the crusher, making a very nice walk.
Town House.
With the exception of laying a new floor in the hall, and repairs to the police office and Treasurer's office, but little, except the general repairs, has been done to the building this year. We would recommend that the roof be newly slated the coming year. With the usual appropriation and the unexpended balance of this year it can be done. The building will then be in condition to last for a long time without any repairs.
Watering Streets.
In watering streets, the custom of last year was followed. Mr. W. A. Peirce, being the lowest bidder, was awarded the contract for watering a portion ; the town teams attend- ing to the remainder.
Almshouse.
In February last the almshouse was partially destroyed by fire, caused, no doubt, by a stove in the room of one of the inmates.
The insurance, placed with George Y. Wellington, Esq., being promptly adjusted the building was at once repaired and is now in as good condition as before.
The furnace, an old affair, has been replaced by a Foster Hot Water Heating Apparatus, and is a great improvement over the old method, keeping the house thoroughly warm

Perambulation.
In compliance with the laws of the State we have peram- bulated the town lines, in conjunction with the authorities of the adjoining towns, and we found the bounds with one exception, which was remedied, in good condition and well secured.
Teams and Tools
Are in their usual condition and well cared for. We have lost two horses the past year, one having died, the other becoming unfit for service, has been disposed of. A pair is kept in each of the Hose Houses (Wm. Penn and High- land) for fire duty and are worked on the highways. Another pair ought to be purchased this spring.
14
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Cemeteries.
The cemeteries are under the charge of Mr. J. H. Hart- well and are in good condition.
Aside from laying some new concrete gutters, but little has been done this year.
We would renew the old recommendation that the committee be allowed to draw on the money received from the sale of lots, when needed for repairs and improvements.
Street Lights.
Our streets are lighted by the Somerville Electric Light Co., under a contract for three years.
In conferring with their agent, we found that a saving of $1053 could be made by so doing, and feeling reasonably sure that Electric Lighting had come to stay, we deemed it our duty to take advantage of the contract. A rebate for outs is allowed us.
Total number of lights, 242₺
Incandescent, 213
Arc, 292
The Arc light at the foot of Whittemore street near R.R. crossing is the property of the Boat Club and is no expense to the town.
Drainage. .
The time has come when something should be done to take care of the surface water in our streets.
As we shall not get any relief from the system shortly to be forced upon us, it will be necessary for the town to adopt some method of their own.
Arlington avenue, near the estate of Mr. F. F. Squire, should receive immediate attention in this matter, as this is one of the worst places in town.
Since the street railroad was removed to the centre of the avenue and the grade changed, a much larger quantity of water collects here than formerly. The pipe laid through Barnes lane for the purpose of carrying off the water is not
15
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
large enough, and should be taken up and one much larger. put down. This we think would remedy the difficulty at this point.
Warren street and Lewis avenue are in much the same condition, and after looking over the premises, the only plan that suggests itself is to lay a drain pipe through the cemetery, or one through Parallel street to Mystic River Although this might be somewhat expensive, it seems due to the people of that part of the town that something should be done. Academy street has already been referred to.
Stone Crusher.
The amount of money spent in repairs and new machinery last year has been more than returned in the increased facil- ities for crushing stone and ease in loading teams. With some slight repairs the crusher will be in good order.
Coal.
The town was supplied with coal by Mr. Warren A. Peirce, he being the lowest bidder.
The prices were $5.00 per ton for furnace coal ; $4.10 per ton for Cumberland coal ; $5.65 per ton for H. B. Lehigh coal.
Licenses.
One sixth class license has been issued in accordance with Chapter 431 of the Acts of Legislature for 1887.
Police and Fire Departments.
Details of these departments will be found in the Reports of the Chiefs and Town Treasurer.
