REPORT
OF THE
SELECTMEN.
In submitting our annual report at the close of the year 1895, we present to the citizens of Arlington a record of a busy and important year in the history of the town. During this year the High Water Service has been completed and put into operation, thereby securing unusually good fire- protection within its limits ; a new and substantial school building is nearly completed in the Crosby district; the first section of our sewer system connecting with the Met- ropolitan system is finished and ready for admitting the house services in the early spring. Authority was given the Sewer Commissioners, at the Town Meeting in Novem- ber, to construct sewers for a large portion of the town. Expensive and valuable work has been done upon our streets, and by the end of the coming year they should be in excel- lent condition, fully maintaining the town's high reputation for good roads. The first steps have been taken towards establishing Public Parks, several localities of great natural beauty have been selected for this purpose. The several appropriations made to cover all these improvements come well within the proper debt limit of the town, and comprise nearly all of the large items of indebtedness that we have looked forward to with more or less apprehension, as liable, when they did come, to largely increase our rate of taxa- tion.
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
By a conservative course and careful consideration of all appropriations, with an eye to the most needed and desirable improvements, much may be done to make our town attrac- tive without adding materially to the burden of our citizens. Situated six miles from the business centre of the city of Boston, and well within the Metropolitan district, our town presents one of the most beautiful spots for suburban homes in the whole district.
A more general interest seems to have been taken during the past year in town affairs. The appointment at the last annual meeting of a committee of twenty-one, secured a careful consideration of the proposed appropriations by a larger number of citizens than usually take an active part at public meetings. No question is of greater importance to the welfare of the town than that of an abundant supply of good water. A committee was appointed to carefully in- vestigate the whole subject of our Water Supply composed of the following named citizens :-
John H. Hardy, Howard W. Spurr, Matthew Rowe, Edward C. Turner, J. P. Dennett, E. N. Blake, F. M. Lowe, H. S. Adams, C. W. Allen, William Basset, Henry Hornblower, Theodore Schwamb, Alfred P. Gage, George A. Lloyd, John H. Perry.
So far as material prosperity is concerned, no efforts should be spared to place the town on an equal footing with surrounding towns, and so far as the health of the commu- nity is concerned, all efforts, that do not give us good and pure water, are inadequate.
The details of the work on the streets will be found in the report of the Superintendent. Massachusetts avenue still requires a considerable outlay of money to put it in proper condition. The great amount of travel over this avenue occasions a heavy yearly expense to keep it in order. In the past year, a large drain pipe has been laid from " Crusher Lane" along the avenue and into the raceway be-
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
low the " Hobbs Mill," taking care of a large quantity of surface water in that vicinity.
The condition of Alewife Brook is greatly improved by the removal of all sewer connections on the Cambridge side. The sediment, which still remains at some points in the brook, is to be removed by the city of Cambridge.
TOWN HOUSE.
Very little has been done to the building during the past year. The interior of the entire building requires substan- tial repairs, painting and cleaning. The fire alarm signal has been placed in the cupola of the building, being operat- ed by compressed air furnished by a water motor placed in the basement. Some time was required to perfect the appa- ratus but it now works to the satisfaction of the Engineers and the Selectmen.
ALMSHOUSE.
The Almshouse remains in charge of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Durgin, who continue to render excellent and satisfactory service in the care of the institution and its inmates. The number provided for at present is ten, five males and five females.
The buildings have been painted, a fire escape added by order of the State Inspector of public buildings, and con- crete laid to carry the rain-water away from the building, and all are now in good condition.
It is evident that further accommodations must be added for the vehicles belonging to the Highway Department, every available space being now occupied.
POLICE.
The details of the Police Department will be found in the excellent report of Chief Harriman. We recognize the efficient service of the Chief and his officers. It is, however, very apparent, that the territory, now patrolled, is too great
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
to be properly looked after, by the present number of officers, in the manner which many citizens desire.
The request of the Chief for more men should be carefully considered before an appropriation is made for the coming year.
STREET LIGHTING.
In accordance with a vote of the town, a contract for three years, with the Somerville Electric Light Company, has been made for lighting the streets, extending from January 1, 1896, to January 1, 1899, at $9000 per year, for the present number of lights, viz., seventy-three and one-half arcs and one hundred and eighteen incandescents ; - addi- tional lights to be added at the rate of $90 per year for arcs and $24 for incandescents. As all the lights are burned every night until one o'clock, instead of twenty nights in each month, with an increase of fifty per cent. in lighting, but only eleven per cent. in price, we are of the opinion that it is for the best interests of the town to have made the contract as described.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The town has never been so well equipped in the matter of fire protection as at the present time. Two tests were made by the Selectmen in calling out the department, with- out any previous warning being given to the members. The response in both cases being very satisfactory, demonstrat- ing that a stream of water can be available, in case of fire, in any part of the town in five minutes from the sounding of the alarm. This department should receive the cordial support of the citizens and tax payers.
The Pierce and Winn Company secured the contract for coal for the year at the following prices :
Furnace, Egg and Stove, at $4.42 per ton Honey Brook Lehigh, at 4.88
George's Creek Cumberland, at 3.62

REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN-I submit to you the following report. A large part of the work done the past season has been of a costly nature, consisting principally of rock and blue gravel excavations. This is especially true of the widening of Massachusetts avenue above Park avenue, Westminster avenue and the extension of Jason street and Glen Road. The rock obtained by blasting the ledge from the first two streets has been teamed to the stone crusher and the gravel used in covering crushed stone on the avenue and in gravel- ling other streets. The loam, and other materials not fit for surfacing the streets, has been used in making the fill near the West End Car House.
The Steam Drill purchased in the early part of the season has proved a valuable addition to the town outfit, as drill- ing with hand drills is a slow and costly process.
When the season's work commenced, only such a number of men were employed as it was thought could be assured work for the season, and no man that has complied with the rules of the department has been idle a single day that he wished to work. This has been a new departure, and has resulted satisfactorily to the men, and to the advantage of the town.
15
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
The following streets have been repaired with crushed stone and gravel :
Addison Street
Has been coated over with a light coat of fine crushed stone, well rolled and covered with a light coat of screened gravel at a cost of $325.
Broadway.
There has been very little work done on this street, ex- cept patching and cleaning the gutters, as it was expected the sewer would be built next season. The water-pipe should be laid at the same time, so that after the street is properly graded and macadamized, there will be no need of digging it up. As this will be an expensive street to build there should be a special appropriation for it.
Bow Street
From Lowell street to the railroad has been gravelled and the brush on the sides cut.
Claremont Avenue
At Wollaston avenue end has been widened to sixty feet, as was first laid out, the grade lowered and retaining wall built along the line of Mr. W. O. Partridge's land, Mr. Partridge paid for the building of the wall. The cost of the improvement was $312. .
Eastern Avenue
Has been repaired by lowering the sides and scraping into the centre of the street and gravelling the worst places.
Forest Street
From railroad crossing to the Winchester line has been repaired by a coating of crushed stone in the worst places and gravel on other parts. The gutters have been cleaned the entire length.
16
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Gray Street.
The ledge near Ravine street has been blasted and re- moved and, for a distance of about five hundred feet, the street has been graded and coated over with gravel at a cost of $328.
Grove Street
For about 450 feet from Massachusetts avenue has been gravelled and slight repairs made on other parts. This street could be much improved by lowering the grade at the railroad crossing, so as to go under the tracks, doing away with the present grade crossing. This would not be very expensive to the town, as the Railroad Company and State would pay the largest share of the expense and the material could be used in improving other streets.
Highland Avenue
Has been improved, by plowing and scraping the high edges into the centre of the street and coating over with gravel.
Hillside Avenue
Near Wollaston avenue has been filled on the east side making it safe to the public. Slight repairs have been made on other parts.
Extension of Jason Street and Glen Road
Has been built at an expense of $1422. The crumbly nature of the ledge removed in building these streets made it a valuable material for road making.
By breaking with hammers we were able to make a mac- adam surface on both streets.
Lowell Street
For a distance of 500 feet from Massachusetts avenue has been surfaced with crushed stone and gravel.
17
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Massachusetts Avenue
From Medford street to Crusher lane on south side of Elec- tric railroad has been resurfaced with crushed stone and gravel, many places repaired on north side where needed. Other places between centre of town and Cambridge line have received slight repairs. Work in widening the avenue above Park avenue was commenced about the first of Octo- ber and has continued with a small force of men until Jan- uary first, and is nearly completed.
Mystic Street
At Winchester line has been widened to sixty feet by cutting away the bank on Mr. Dwight's side of the street and building retaining wall. The gravel obtained at this point was used in making the fill in places where the street was less than sixty feet. When this street was first built only about thirty feet in the centre was filled to grade. A railing was placed on each side leaving the street un- finished. To build to line as given by County Commis- sioners will require about 8000 cubic yards of filling. Work is still progressing on the street.
Oak Street
Has been improved by cutting brush on the sides, cleaning gutters, and gravelling the worst places.
Park Avenue
From Wollaston avenue to Lowell street has been resur- faced with crushed stone and gravel.
Pine Street
Is in an unsafe condition, needing constant care in icy times to prevent teams from sliding over the bank. The only way to make it safe is to widen to 40 feet, build heavy retaining walls, and erect a substantial railing.
2
18
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Schouler Court
Has been gravelled its entire length, sidewalks graded and ed over with stone-dust.
Walnut Street
Has been repaired by scraping edges into centre of street and coating over with blue gravel from Massachusetts avenue to land of Thomas Higgins, and the sidewalk coated over with stone-dust.
Westminster Avenue
From Lowell street to residence of H. T. Elder has been widened to 40 feet by removing the ledge and bank of gravel on the east side, at an expense of $1300. The street has been gravelled its entire length.
Wollaston Avenue
Has been widened to 60 feet as was first laid out, a walk built on north side and repaired several times after heavy rains.
The gutters on the street should be paved, as the grade is so steep that it washes badly after every heavy rain. It would be economy on the part of the town to pave the gutters on all hilly streets.
There have been many slight repairs made on other streets and a thorough cleaning of the streets was accomplished before cold weather set in.
Sidewalks.
There have been 2510 yards of concrete walk laid and 700 yards of old concrete top-coated. A large part of the concreting has been done at the town's expense, as in many places the grade was changed to conform to centre of street, and in other places the concrete was rough and un- even, caused by the roots of trees. Gravel walks have been extended on many streets where needed.
19
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
The stone-dust obtained from crushing stone has been used to resurface many of the old walks. There have been three granite walks laid, one extending from each walk on Pleasant street, across Massachusetts avenue, to the walk in front of Town House, and one from south side of Water street to the Library. These cross-walks consist of two rows of flagging, 18 inches wide, with three rows of paving between, and five rows of paving on each side, making a walk about eight feet wide.
There have been about 3000 feet of edgestone set this . year, the abutters as usual paying for the stone, the town teaming and setting it.
Drainage.
There has been a 24 inch pipe laid from footof new street built by Theo. Schwamb and Nathan Robbins' heirs, across the avenue and through land of Mr. Lloyd to the brook, a distance of 350 feet ; also, a 15 inch pipe connecting with this pipe, laid along the south side of Massachusetts avenue to Crusher lane, a distance of 650 feet, with suitable catch basins to take the surface water, and connections made with the drains, taking the water from the side hill; an 18 inch pipe from the foot of Westminster avenue, across Lowell street, along the side of Park avenue, to line of railroad, and a 12 inch pipe across Mystic street from J. H. Hartwell's connecting with the drain emptying into the meadows.
Watering Streets.
It has required three double and two single teams to do the watering this year, as more streets have been watered. This has been done by the Fire Department furnishing two double teams and Eli Fletcher one, at an expense of $500 for each team, the Highway Department furnishing the two single teams. The whole expense was met by Highway appropriation, except $878 raised by subscription.
20
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Offal and Ashes
Have been removed under direction of Highway Depart- ment. The work has been done by two men with one horse, except during the winter, when the highway teams help collect the ashes. The town as usual is divided in two sec- tions. On Pleasant street, Mystic street, and south of these streets, the offal is removed twice a week on Monday and Friday, the ashes on Wednesday. North of Pleasant and Mystic streets the offal is removed on Tuesday and Saturday, the ashes on Thursday.
Steam Roller.
After two years' use it is in good condition. It has been used more days than last year. $726.27 has been received for rental from other towns.
Stone Crusher.
After twenty-two years of use it is in very good condition. The engine and-boiler are rather small for the work required of them, and it would be better if we had more power, but they are in good condition after their many years of use. The elevator belt gave out this fall and as the old elevator was rather out of date, it was thought best to have one of modern construction. Work on this and the enlargement of the bins is now in progress.
Teams.
There are now twelve horses in the Highway Department. One having died the past season, there should be one bought to take his place, and two others changed as they are getting old. Two single carts are being built. The other carts are in good condition, only needing slight repairs.
Respectfully submitted.
