REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen submit the following report for the year end- ing December 30, 1899.
Wherever edgestones and paved gutters have been placed on streets with steep grades the results have been very satisfactory.
Crosswalks have been laid in a number of places where we considered they were most needed.
Under-drains have been laid in several streets, and this work should be continued, as it will result in a saving in cost of repairs after heavy rains and rapid melting of snow. Although under- drains have been placed in Broadway, it may be necessary to ex- tend them and build additional catch-basins when the street is re- built. The whole appropriation has not been expended. .
For a more detailed account of the work done on the highways we refer to the report of the Superintendent of Streets.
The location granted in 1898 to the Lexington Street Railway Company for a track on Massachusetts avenue from the car house of the Boston Elevated Railway Company to the Lexington line · expired by limitation.
A similar location has been granted the Lexington and Boston Street Railway Company. The track is nearly built, and it is expected that the cars will be running early in the spring. The material removed from the street was teamed to Forest street, and the stone crusher at the expense of the company.
The New England Telephone and Telegraph Company has laid a line of conduits in Massachusetts avenue from the Cam- bridge line to Park avenue. One conduit is reserved for the wires belonging to the town. The surplus material was teamed to Cemetery street at the expense of the company.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The Metropolitan Water Board has laid a supply pipe the en- tire length of Medford street; in Massachusetts avenue, from Medford street to Brattle street, and in Brattle street, from Massachusetts avenue to the pumping station.
The Arlington Gas Light Company has laid 2,000 feet of new pipe in Pleasant street.
Three thousand seven hundred twenty-five and six tenths feet of land have been sold from the lot on Mystic street to Ella J. Langley at 5 cents per foot.
Issues of bonds by the Treasurer have been approved as fol- lows :-
$15,000, Arlington Water Loan.
29,000, Locke School Loan.
52,000, Town House Site Loan. 7,000, Arlington Park Loan.
After the contracts for watering the streets had been made, we were petitioned to have other streets watered which we were un- able to do, as the teams were covering all the ground possible and the appropriation would not permit the addition of another team. If the street watering is to be extended provision must be made for an additional team.
STREET SIGNS.
Signs have been placed on the following streets: Court, Rus- sell, Water, Russell terrace, Winslow, Prescott (2), Franklin (2), Lewis avenue, Irving (2), Mill, Summer, Bow, Lowell, Park ave- nue (2), Vine (2), Claremont avenue, Oakland avenue, Hillside avenue (3), Ashland (2), Cliff (2), Linden, Elmore (2); all the sign posts have been painted.
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
One officer has been added to the force. The other members are the same as last year. For a detailed report of the work per- formed we refer you to the report of the Chief of Police.
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Fire Department maintains a high state of efficiency, the engineers, officers and men working harmoniously for that pur- pose. All alarms have been responded to with great promptness and intelligent service rendered. While we do not wish to make any comparisons, we cannot help calling attention to the fact that the company at the lower end of the town, although poorly equipped with apparatus and having poor and inconvenient quar- ters, are willing to serve and to respond to alarms promptly and perform good service, as was shown at the fire on Lake street July 4th.
The engineers have so managed the financial affairs that al- though they have placed a new heating apparatus in the hose house on Broadway at an expense of $410, they still have a bal- ance left of their appropriation.
On August 22d a number of fire alarm boxes were burned out, supposed to have been caused by the Arlington and Win- chester Street Railway. The company was notified and the new management met this Board, and this matter and also another burn-out which occurred last year were both satisfactorily settled. The town is to be congratulated on having so efficient a Fire De- partment.
STREET LIGHTS.
A contract for three years, from April 1st, 1899, has been made with the Somerville Electric Light Company, at $11,500 per year, for 93 arc lights of 1,200 nominal candle power, and 166 incandescent lights of 32 candle power. Additional arcs to be $80 and incandescents $25 per year each. This makes a change in the incandescent lights from 25 candle power to 32 candle power. Reflectors have been placed over the incandescent lights. During the year 5 incandescents have been taken out and 9 arcs and 24 incandescents added.
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The present number of lights is 163 incandescents and 98 arcs.
The apparatus for testing the electric current is in process of construction. During the year the following lights have been added:
4 Incandescentson Forest street.

ALMSHOUSE.
At the expiration of the term of Mrs. B. F. Durgin as super- intendent, Mr. John B. Tay was appointed to the position, and he has given perfect satisfaction. During the year two persons have been admitted, two inmates have died, one was sent to the
13
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
State Almshouse, where he died, and one has gone away. There are now five inmates, four males and one female.
OUTSIDE POOR.
The expenditures in this department have been quite large, and much work has been required in looking up the settlements of persons who have located here and applied for aid.
SHADE TREES.
The appropriation has been expended in trimming trees, most- ly on Massachusetts avenue. A few trees have been set, to re- place those which have died during the year. A number of the large trees on Pleasant street dicd during the summer, and the cause has been attributed to escaping gas.
It will be necessary to elect a Tree Warden the coming year, the same being required by Chapter 330 of the Acts of 1850.
We recommend an appropriation for trimming trees the pres- ent year.

REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
GENTLEMEN : I submit to you my annual report for the year ending December 30, 1899.
Winter setting in unusually early, the fall cleaning of streets was not finished, and this was the first work of the season. The scrapings of the streets were teamed to Cemetery street and the Park.
APPLETON STREET.
From Massachusetts avenue to Oakland avenue has required considerable attention. The great amount of water from Oak- land avenue and Ashland street overflowing the gutters, caused the sides of the street to wash during every heavy rain. There should be a 15-inch drain from Oakland avenue to Massachusetts avenue, connecting with the avenue drain carrying the water to the brook at Forest street.
BROADWAY.
There has been a 20-inch drain laid from Alewife brook to Winter street, and a 15-inch from Winter street to River street with manholes every 300 feet to get at the drain in case of stop- page. A 12-inch pipe has been laid across the street at Marathon, Cleveland and Winter streets, and catch-basins each side of Broadway at these streets.
16
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
A catch-basin has been made at North Union street and five near the junction of Broadway and River street, connected with the main drain by a 12-inch pipe. The drain from Franklin street that was laid along Broadway last year has been extended from Wyman street towards Tufts street 600 feet, with four catch-basins, and a 12-inch pipe laid across the street at two dif- ferent places, connecting the catch-basins with the main drain. This makes the system of drainage complete on this street, except perhaps a few catch-basins to be added when the street is graded. There has been quite an amount expended in patching the worst places, and I hope the town will put this street in good condition the coming season; for it is a disgrace to the town in its present condition. Amount appropriated for drainage, $4,300; amount expended, $3,568.53.
CHESTNUT STREET.
Has been widened to 50 feet by order of the County Commis- sioners. A 12-inch drain has been laid from Medford street, in front of W. W. Ranson's, to the large drain at Cemetery street, with four catch-basins connected to the drain by a 10-inch pipe. The street has been graded and a heavy coat of crushed stone put on, and well rolled and covered with screened blue gravel.
The sidewalks have been graded and coated with stone-dust, ex- cept in front of the church. This part was not completed as there was going to be a change made at the church, and it was thought better to wait until the repairs on the church were completed.
CEMETERY STREET.
There has been a 24-inch pipe laid from Chestnut street (the terminus of the Massachusetts avenue drain from the centre of the town) to within about 50 feet of the cemetery line.
As Cemetery street is across the meadow with from 10 to 40 feet of mud, there had to be piles driven to a solid foundation,
17
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
cross-pieces bolted to the piles and 6-inch x 8-inch hard-pine stringers laid upon the cross-pieces, and then the pipe on them; then cross-pieces bolted to the piles over the pipe with hard pine- pieces, sawed corner ways, placed on the stringers beside the pipe to keep them in place. A part of the ashes and street scrapings have been teamed to this street to make the fill. As the street keeps settling it will require more filling to bring it to grade.
Amount appropriated, $2,230; amount expended, $1,630.90.
CEDAR STREET.
Has been gravelled its entire length.
FOREST STREET.
For a distance of 1,500 feet from Mr. Wanamaker's towards the Winchester line, except a piece of ledge in front of Mr. Jardine's, which it was thought better to let remain until winter, when it could be blasted and carted to the crusher at better ad- vantage, has been widened to 40 feet, as laid out by the County Commissioners. It has been graded, a heavy coat of gravel put on and then coated over with fine crushed stone, well rolled and then coated over with screened blue gravel. The gutters for a distance of 1,000 feet have been paved on both sides.
The sidewalk on the east side has been graded and coated over with fine gravel.
GRAY STREET.
From Jason street to Bartlett avenue has been graded and coated over with fine crushed stone, rolled and then coated over with stone-dust. The sidewalks between these streets have been graded and coated over with stone-dust.
JASON STREET.
From Irving street to Gray was left in a rough condition after putting in the sewer. The surface was picked over, the large
18
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
stones picked off high places, levelled into the low ones, a coat of fine crushed stone put on, rolled and then coated over with stone- "dust.
LOWELL STREET.
From Massachusetts avenue to near the reservoir has been patched in many places. The sidewalk from Westmoreland ave- nue to Mrs. Lewis' line, on the west side, has been coated over with stone-dust.
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE.
From the railroad crossing to within 1,000 feet of the Cam- bridge line on the southwest side has been coated over with crushed stone. The surface was first picked with the steam-roller, then picked over with hand-picks, the large stones raked off the surface, evened, then a heavy coat of crushed stone put on, well rolled, then coated over with screened blue gravel. Between the railroad and Appleton street, on both sides, the avenue is getting rough. Next season it will have to be surfaced over with crushed stone.
NORTH UNION STREET.
There has been a 24-inch drain laid across the street at the low place near Decatur street with a catch-basin on each side. The ditch has been cleaned out and lowered from this street to the river to properly drain the street.
OAKLAND AVENUE.
Has been gravelled in a few places, the loose stone raked off and the walk on the north side graded and coated with stone-dust. There has been but little done at the Heights, except raking off the loose stones and filling the washed places after a heavy rain. The Heights shows the wisdom of putting in the Park avenue
19
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
drain and the paving of the gutters on some of the worst hills. There has been stone-dust put on portions of Park avenue walks, Florence avenue, Ashland street and Appleton street.
The good work of paving gutters should be kept up until the hilly streets are all paved.
PINE STREET.
Has been widened and put in a good condition. A heavy re- taining wall has been built on the southwest side about 450 feet long, 42 feet thick at the bottom and 2 feet thick at the top, and an average height of 8 feet containing about 480 perch of stone. A railing has been put along the top of the wall.
The street has been graded, a coat of fine crushed stone put on and well rolled, and then covered with screened blue gravel. The sidewalks graded on both sides and the southeast sidewalk covered with fine gravel.
A gutter on both sides of the street 42 feet wide has been paved its entire length.
. Appropriation, $2,600; expended, $2,600.
PLEASANT STREET.
From Massachusetts avenue to Swan street has been coated with fine crushed stone and gravel. The sidewalk on the south side concreted from Swan street to Spring valley, except in front of a few residences that had been concreted before.
ROBBINS ROAD.
There has been 1,200 feet of edgestone laid on the north side and the gutter paved along the edgestone. The street has been crowned with gravel and the walk graded on the north side and coated with stone-dust part of the way.
20
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
SWAN STREET.
Has been graded and coated over with fine crushed stone, rolled and covered with screened blue gravel. The walks filled to grade and coated with stone-dust.
WALNUT STREET.
A drain pipe has been laid from Dennett street to and across Massachusetts avenue through the Highland Hose House yard to the pond, from the pond to Walnut court. The pipe was 20-inch from the pond to Walnut court and 15-inch from there to the top of the hill, with six manholes and nine catch-basins connected to the main drain with 12-inch pipe. An edgestone has been laid on both sides, except in front of Thomas Higgins', where he has a concreted walk and gutter. The gutters were paved on both sides. The surplus gravel was used in crowning the street and filling the sidewalk.
BRIDGES.
Brattle street bridge has been rebuilt, the channel lowered and slightly enlarged. The centre of River street bridge has been covered over with 2-inch plank. It was thought best not to re- plank it, as it is uncertain what will be done to this bridge in case the Metropolitan Boulevard crosses the river.
EDGESTONES.
There has been 5,000 feet of edgestones laid, about half put in . under the betterment act.
SIDEWALKS.
There has been 2,574 yards of concrete laid and 2,998 yards of concrete top-coated. For amount expended on sidewalks see Treasurer's report.

21
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
CROSSWALKS.
Have been put in across the following streets: Massachusetts avenue at Tufts street; half across the avenue in front of G. A. R. Hall, the other half being already laid; Massachusetts avenue at Jason street (2); at Mount Vernon street; across Medford street in front of W. W. Ranson's; across Chestnut street from Medford street; across Mystic street at its junction with Massachusetts ave- nue; one on Massachusetts avenue at Whittemore street; one on Massachusetts avenue at Swan's block; one half way across, and one on Pleasant at Wellington street, at a cost of $2.25 a yard.
CRUSHER.
There should be some repairs done this year; the oscillator should be planed and the surface where the chill rests has become rough, causing the chills to break. There is about the usual amount of stone on hand ready to crush, and there has been 1,200 ton of stone blasted from the ledge and broken up ready for the crusher. Cost of blasting and breaking, 50 cents per ton.
STEAM-ROLLER.
The driving wheels have worn quite thin and are liable to break at any time; there should be another set purchased so as to be ready when the old ones break.
WATERING STREETS.
It has required four double teams and one single team to water the streets this past season. One double and one single team was furnished by the Highway Department and the other three let out by contract.
OFFAL AND ASHES.
Have been removed by the Highway. Department the same as last year. There has been one new offal cart and one new ash cart bought for the Health Department this year.
22
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
TEAMS AND TOOLS.
One double and two single carts will require new bodies and the single watering cart will need a new tank. All the carts want slight repairs and will need painting. The other tools are in good condition. There are at present 14 horses, 5 double and 4 single road carts, steam-roller, 1 two-horse roller, 1 jigger, 1 road ma- chine, 1 hay wagon, 2 ash carts, 2 offal wagons, 4 two-horse water- ing-carts and one single watering-cart, 4 double sleds, 2 pungs and 9 snow-plows.
