REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The following report is herewith submitted by the Selectmen for the year ending December 31, 1901 :
The town has temporarily suffered a substantial loss to its treasury, but suit has been brought on the bonds of Treasurer and Collector, in accordance with the vote of the town, to re- cover the amount of the loss. The papers in the case have been prepared and the case is to be entered in Court January 6, 1902. Messrs. Elder, Wait & Whitman, Attorneys, have been em- ployed by the Selectmen to act in connection with the Town Counsel. Roland A. Swan was complained of for larceny about the first of May, and was afterwards indicted by the Grand Jury, on numerous counts. He pleaded guilty to all the counts,. and on November 6th he was sentenced to the State prison for- a term not less than eight nor more than ten years. Further details relating to this matter have been presented to the town by written report of the Selectmen, which report has been. printed and distributed in the same manner as town reports are distributed. It is therefore not thought worth while to fill up. this report with a repetition of the details.
May 8th the Treasurer and Collector appointed Mr. Harvey S. Sears as his assistant, Mr. Sears giving to Mr. Locke a bond in the sum of $10,000.00. October 26th Mr. Locke resigned his offices as Treasurer, Collector and Town Clerk, and all other offices held by him. the resignation to take effect upon the ap- pointment and qualification of his successor. . On the same day Mr. Sears was appointed and sworn as Town Clerk. November 6th Mr. Sears was duly appointed Treasurer and Collector of Taxes pro tempore and his bond for $20,000.00 with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company as surety was approved. November 15th.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Pending the recovery of the moneys of the town on the suit against the Treasurer and Collector and his sureties, it will be necessary for the town to borrow money for the immediate use of the town. If the loan is made on a very short time, the vote of the town should authorize such renewals or extension of the loan as are necessary .
Early in November the Selectmen requested the Board of Auditors to audit the books and accounts of Mr. Locke as Treasurer and Collector, and to report to the Selectmen as soon as possible. No special report upon the matter has been made.
Owing to the trouble in the Town Treasurer's office early in the year, we were not enabled to secure a stenographer and typewriter until the first of July. Since that time we have had an account of the receipts and expenditures of several depart- ments kept, and have been enabled to ascertain in a few minutes the standing of the various accounts. We consider the services of a stenographer and typewriter an essential requisite for the successful conduct of the business of the office.
We make no recommendations in regard to change of officials or methods of keeping accounts. One committee has already reported on this matter and another has been appointed to report at some future meeting.
Early in the season the West End Street Railway Company laid a track on Medford street and began to operate the cars. The track is part single and part double, with one turnout. One half the macadam removed was teamed by the company, and the remainder by the town, to Lake street. The other was dumped by the company on Cemetery street. The track was paved with square granite blocks. The company paved between the rails and curbstone from the gutter line of Massa- chusetts avenue the length of the double track in that end of Medford street. The company also repaved the double track
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
on Massachusetts avenue, from near Linwood street to the Cambridge line, with square granite blocks. The cobble paving and large browstone which was removed, the company gave to the town to be teamed away. Some of the stones have been used for paving gutters, and some (when the teams have been slack of work) have been teamed to places where it is proposed to pave next year. The remainder are still piled where they were first dumped.
The Lexington & Boston Street Railway Company has laid a second track on Massachusetts avenue from the terminus of the tracks of the West End Street Railway Company at the Heights, to near the Lexington line. The material removed was teamed to Bow street and Park avenue at the company's expense.
Irving street has been laid out under the Betterment Act from Academy street to that part of Irving street already built and accepted from Pleasant street. Summer street from the gate- way at the Almshouse to Pine street, was laid out, but was not accepted by the town.
The work on the Grade Crossings has been completed. We have received notice from the Deputy Auditor of the Common- wealth stating that the amount expended to July 15th was $90,494.64, of which sum the town is to pay 10 per cent. or $9,049.46. The Decree orders that the Commonwealth shall pay this amount for the town, and as required by law, he designates that it shall be repaid in five annual payments, to bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum from July 3, 1901, payments to be made as follows : -

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
STORM DRAINS.
As the price of pipe was very much lower at the time of pur- chasing than at the time the estimates were made, we were en- abled to profit thereby, and to do more work than was expected ; 10,509 feet or 1.99 miles of pipe have been laid. Fifty-seven new catch-basins and eight inlets have been constructed, six old catch-basins and one old inlet connected at a total cost of $12,527.29.
Part of the work was done by contract, and the remainder by the Highway Department. The cost of building shows a slight balance in favor of the work done by the Highway Department. For a full statement of drains constructed, see Superintendent of Streets report. We recommend that the balance be expended on other streets, as there is great need of taking care of the surface water.
STREET WATERING.
One cart has been used by the Highway Department for watering part of the streets, the remaining four were let by contract ; a charge of two and one-eighth cents per foot was made to the abutter.
STREET SIGNS.
A number of new street signs have been put up and others repainted.
COAL.
A contract for coal was awarded to the Peirce & Winn Com- pany at the following prices, -Stove, $5.50; Egg, $5.25; Furnace, $5.00; Honey Brook Egg, $5.55; Georges' Creek Cumberland, $4.00.
We regret that the Committee of Twenty-one did not recom- mend the appropriation asked for at the annual meeting for a
13
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
combination patrol wagon and ambulance. The use of an am- bulance has been required on numerous occasions ; on one occasion the police ambulance of the City of Cambridge was used ; on other occasions, an undertaker's wagon, and at various other times, any wagon that could be procured.
The efficient condition of the Fire Department proves the wisdom of the generous appropriations made by the town the past few years for its improvement and maintenance. Too much praise cannot be given to all connected with the depart- ment for the way in which the fire in the Town Hall Building was handled ; if it had got beyond control the loss financially and otherwise would have been very large. We would recom- mend a sufficient appropriation so that the salary of the Chief Engineer can be raised, as we believe that the present condition of the department is due in a large measure to his earnest and intelligent labors in its behalf.
The Fire Alarm system continues under the control of Mr. LeBaron and the improvements made by him the past year have already proved their worth and we approve of his suggest- tion in regard to other improvements.
For the details of the Police, Fire and Highway Departments, see report of the Chief of Police, Chief of Fire Department, and Superintendent of Streets.
The accounts of the work done this year on Surface Drains, Sidewalks and Highways are as follows :-

STREET LIGHTS.
One additional incandescent light has been placed on Med- ford street, making a total of 169 incandescent lights.
TOWN HOUSE.
Owing to the fire which occurred on April 29 last, leaving the condition of the hall in such shape that it could not be let, the receipts have not been so large as in former years. Many repairs and changes have been made which add to the general appearance of the building itself, as well as to the comfort of the people who have the business of the town to do. We con- sider the building to be in better condition than it has been at any time in the past ten years, and certainly the interior has never been so well arranged for the purposes intended as at the present time. Nearly all the expense of repairs and changes have been paid for without charging to the regular appropria- tion,-out of insurance money received. The Selectmen's, Water Commissioner's and Treasurer's rooms need a coat of paint and ceilings whitened, for which we have an estimate of $80.00. Otherwise the building should be good without repairs for several years.
BOARD OF SURVEY.
The Board has given hearings on, and laid out and established grades, viz., Brooks avenue, from Lake street through estate of John P. Squire.
Laurel street, from Brattle street to land of Ralph L. Perry.
ALMSHOUSE.
During the year Mr. and Mrs. Tay have been in charge, nine inmates have been cared for. Two were admitted, one left, one
16
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
died and one was sent to Danvers Hospital. At the present time there are six inmates, one female and five males. Five hundred and twenty-three tramps have been lodged and fed.
A new floor has been laid in one of the large rooms, and the roof of the barn has been shingled.
POOR OUT OF ALMHOUSE.
Partial support has been given to eighty-four residents. Full support has been given to fifteen persons, six sane, (Alms- house), eight insane, (Insane Hospital), one feeble-minded, (Feeble-minded School.)
We would call the attention of the citizens of the town to the increase n expenses for the support of poor outside of Almshouse. This is a matter in which the Overseers must use their best judgment in all cases, (the law being mandatory. ) This matter, like all others in a rapidly growing town, will require more liberal appropriations.

PAVED GUTTERS.
There has been 2124 yards of gutters paved at an expense of $1388.16. The stone used consisted of four cars of square block paving with a lot taken from the Boston Elevated Rail- road, on Massachusetts avenue between Linwood street and the Cambridge line. The lot consisted mostly of round cobble- stone and large brow-stone, making fine stone for paving gutters.
There was a large lot of this stone left, which the teams are now hauling to the Heights, and should be used the coming season for paving gutters. The wisdom of paving the gutters on streets with grades of more than three per cent is shown by comparison of streets where the gutters are now paved, with those which remain unpaved.
CARE OF SNOW.
The care of snow is an item that involves considerable ex- pense through the winter months, when the department is obliged to employ a number of men and keep several horses, there being many days when there is not much to do but to exercise the horses and wait for another storm or thaw.

It will be seen by the above amount that the appropriation has been exceeded ; caused by the increasing demands on the department and the greater distance to dumping places. In the collection of ashes at first there was but little paper and refuse put out ; now the greater part of the collection is waste paper and all kinds of rubbish, requiring more teams for collecting than formerly, and keeping a man at the dump to level loads and burn paper.

There has been 102 yards of crosswalks laid at an expense of $3.25 per yard. The work done and material used on gravel sidewalks has been charged to Highways; there has been nearly 1000 tons of stone-dust used on the walks.
ROLLER AND CRUSHER.
The roller has received thorough repairs and a set of new driving wheels and it is in good condition for next season's work. The crusher is considerably worn, having been in use about twenty-seven years, and with some repairs it will still do good work.
TEAMS AND TOOLS.
The carts will be in good condition after annnal repairs and painting with the exception of four watering carts that were considerably damaged in the fire of January 9th. Three of the carts will need new bodies ; one, new woodwork - using the old irons. A new Barnard Castle scraper has been purchased this year which saves labor in keeping the streets cleaned. There should be one horse purchased to take the place of the one that died.
Respectfully submitted,
S. E. KIMBALL, Superintendent of Streets.
