7. Petition of George H. Priest, et al., for damages for land taken in connection with the abolition of the Rollstone street grade crossing, settled by the payment of twenty-six thousand dollars ($26,000) and agreement for judgment satis- fied, duly filed in the Superior Court for Worcester County. This sum includes twenty-three thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars ($23,350) paid as actual damages and the sum of two thousand, six hundred and fifty dollars ($2,650) for 10,470 square feet of remaining land conveyed by the petitioners to the city.


8. In connection with the last-named case is the claim of the Parkhill Manufacturing Company in which no petition was filed in Court within the time specified in the Grade Crossing Act. Under an Act of the Legislature of 1911, the claimant became legally empowered to bring a petition for land damages. Before this was brought, however, by an agreement between the Commonwealth, the Fitchburg railroad and the City of Fitchburg the sum of four thousand, twenty-three and 87/100 dollars ($4,023.87) was paid the Parkhill Manufacturing Com- pany and 10,470 square feet of land acquired in the settlement with George H. Priest, et ali., was deeded to it in full settlement of its claim.


9. Petition of Halbert E. Parkhurst, et al., for damages for land taken in connection with the abolition of the Rollstone Street Grade Crossing, settled by the payment of thirteen hun- dred dollars ($1,300) and agreement for judgment satisfied, duly filed in the Superior Court for Worcester County.

REPORT OF CITY SOLICITOR


10. Petition of the Fitchburg Railroad Company for dam- ages for land taken in connection with the abolition of the Roll- stone Street grade crossing, settled for the sum of forty-four hundred, ninety-three and 33/100 dollars ($4,493.33) and agree- ment for judgment satisfied, duly filed in the Superior Court for Worcester County.


With reference to the payment of the expense of abolishing the grade crossing upon Rollstone street, including payment of land damages by the city, there have been four auditors' hearings. All claims against the city in this matter have been disposed of.


In connection with the petition of Parkhurst, et al., above mentioned, while the railroad has to pay 65% of the cost of grade crossing work and has approved payment of $1,300 in settlement of all claims for damages, the Commonwealth which pays 25% of said cost has filed an objection thereto. I believe, however, that it will finally approve this settlement.


In the petition of the Gardner, Westminster & Fitchburg Street Railway Company and in the petition of J. S. Ames, both for damages for land taken at Wachusett Lake, hearings lasting five days have been had in the Superior Court before a board of of auditors and the evidence closed. It is expected that arguments of counsel will be made before this Board early in January.

With the exception of the year when the hall was being remodelled the annual rental has never fallen so low.


The receipts for rental of Assembly Hall have been reduced, as free use has been given on many occasions making a loss to the city of one hundred, ninety-two dollars and fifty cents. The expense of care and cleaning has been slightly increased over that of last year, the amount being sixty dollars and seventy- seven cents; this has been occasioned by the increase in the pay of the help employed to work in the building.


The expense of cleaning City Hall building has been as follows :

The Public Comfort Station is a great convenience to the general public, and that it is appreciated is indicated by the constant increase in its use by both men and women. I do urge that a permanent man should be employed for that posi- tion. The Station has been remodelled and is much more con- venient than when first opened and is kept open to the public seventeen hours each day seven days in the week. With the help of the police I have been able to keep it fairly clean, but there have been times during the year when the furnishings have been damaged to such an extent that it was necessary that it should be closed for a short time for repairs. Owing to these circumstances I think there should be a permanent man employed for the position, and trust you will give this matter your earliest consideration.


Respectfully submitted, CHARLES T. CUSHING, City Messenger.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC BURIAL GROUNDS


FITCHBURG, MASS., December 22, 1911. To His Honor, the Mayor, and the City Council :


GENTLEMEN : - The Trustees of the Public Burial Grounds herewith submit their twenty-seventh annual report, showing receipts and expenditures of 1911. The Laurel street retaining wall above the upper entrance to Laurel Hill cemetery, which was commenced last year, has been completed, and the side hill has been terraced, loamed and turfed, and is now in a very satisfactory condition. The cost of labor, loam and turf for the work on the side hill has been paid out of the general fund of the department without calling for any special appropriation. The old picket fence between the two entrances to this cemetery being in a very dilapidated condition, it was decided after con- sultation with His Honor, the Mayor, to replace the same with a substantial stone wall, thereby making a continuous stone wall the entire length of the Laurel street front. More than half of this last section has just been completed, and it is the intention of the trustees to complete this work in the spring, for which a small special appropriation will be required. The completion of this work will add very much to the appearance of the Laurel street side of this cemetery. A new fence has been built on the southwest line of the South street cemetery, replacing one which the elements had nearly destroyed. At Forest Hill cemetery a large amount of work has been done clearing new ground and preparing a portion of the same ready for occupancy.

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES


A number of complaints have been made to this depart- ment but in no instance was the party making the complaint willing to have the same brought to the attention of the Courts.


Several inspections have been made throughout the city during the past year by the State Department of Weights and Measures, but so far as I know nothing warranted prosecutions until the six complaints against local merchants now pending found on their last visit during the present month. In practi- cally all of the cases which warranted their being brought into court the Inspectors found that these dealers were using a liquid measure instead of a dry measure.


The State Department are requiring more rigid enforce- ment of the Weights and Measures laws, necessitating double the work on the individual Sealers.


It is the intention of this department to work in harmony. with the State Officers in so far as it is practicable, and during the coming year more time will be given to inspections. The local department is handicapped in some cases from the fact that the City Sealer is known to about every merchant, while in the case of the State Inspectors they are strangers.


Respectfully submitted, JAMES A. SHEA, City Sealer.

REPORT OF LICENSE COMMISSIONERS


FITCHBURG, MASS., December, 1911. To His Honor, the Mayor :


For the year ending December 1, 1911, the Board of License Commissioners have to report that 79 meetings have been held by the Board and frequent unannounced inspection visits have been made by the members of the Board to all licensed premises, and at all times they have endeavored to keep well advised as to existing conditions and conduct of all licensed places. There has only been one complaint brought before the Board during the year for violation of the license conditions, which resulted in a suspension of the fourth-class license for a term of nine days. Licensees have generally showed a readiness to promptly remedy any deficiences noticed and adopt such improvements as were suggested by the Board. The enactment of "the Bar and Bottle law," so called, resulted in quite a change in license conditions in this city-the fees for liquor licenses were fixed for the year as follows : $2,000 for first- class, to innholders, the Board continuing the policy of many years of not granting any fourth-class licenses to hotels, although the law makes it permissive so to do, if deemed best.


$1,500 for retail, first-class license, to common victuallers.


$2,000 for wholesalers fourth-class license.


$300 for special club licenses.


$1 for sixth-class for druggists.


By authority of Acts of 1910, commencing May 1, 1911, a fee was charged for common victualler licenses, $2 being charged for holders of first-class liquor licenses and $5 for lunch rooms and restaurants without liquor license. These funds all go into the City Treasury-the state receiving no part of these fees.


The city's revenue from these has been $192.

352 Main Street.


FITCHBURG, MASS., July, 191].


To the Honorable City Council :


The Sewage Disposal Commission, established under pro- visions of Chapter 461 of the Acts of the year 1910, respectfully presents the following report, giving an account of its doings, receipts and expenditures for the six months ending June 30, 1911, such report being its second semi-annual report.


I. ORGANIZATION.


There has been no change in the membership or organiza- tion of the Board during the past six months, the membership being Arthur H. Lowe, chairman, David M. Dillon and Daniel A. Boyle. David A. Hartwell has continued to act as clerk of the Board. Edith M. Whittemore has acted as stenographer and bookkeeper.


The consulting engineer of the Board is Harrison P. Eddy of Boston, who is called upon from time to time as conditions arise which require his services.

REPORT OF SEWAGE DISPOSAL COMMISSION


II. DEPARTMENT YARD.


In order to properly and efficiently carry on the work re- quired of the commission it was early determined that it would be necessary to have a storage yard with properly planned buildings with a railroad connection. It was also desirable to have such a lot centrally located relative to the whole work to be done by the commission. After an investigation of all lots of land that would be at all feasible for this service it was de- cided that the Walker lot on Water street was the best of all. Negotiations were entered into with Charles C. Walker, the owner of the lot, and a price of twenty-five cents per square foot agreed upon. This agreement and purchase of land was ap- proved and authorized by vote of the City Council, and a trans- fer of the lot has been made to the city and payment made for the same to the amount of $12,245.25. This lot is a triangular shaped piece of land having a frontage on Water street of 593 feet, a frontage on the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road of about 590 feet and the depth of the lot at the northerly end is about 180 feet. The area of the lot is 48,981 square feet.


Arrangements have been made for the construction of a side track on this lot, the track to have a capacity of four cars.


A limited use of this lot is already being made, using the existing buildings. It is hoped that in the near future definite plans for permanent buildings will have been made with the ex- pectation that these buildings may be erected at an early date.


III. DISPOSAL.


Under authority of an order adopted by the City Council the commission has filed in the registry of deeds a taking of nine separate parcels of land situated partly in Lunenburg and partly in Fitchburg and adjoining the Leominster town line. These areas are as follows :


1. Fitchburg Railroad Company, in Lunenburg, 19.9 acres


2. Fitchburg Railroad Company, in Fitchburg, 27.1 acres


3. Arthur H. Lowe, in Fitchburg, 6.5 acres


4. Rowena N. J. Goodridge, in Fitchburg, 9.9 acres.


5. Orin M. Lowe, in Fitchburg, 20.2


acres
