ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR


To the City Council of the City of Newburyport.


GENTLEMEN :- In compliance with the provisions of the ordinance, I submit the following report of the business of this office during the past year. At the beginning of the year the following cases were pending against the city :


Dame, et al., vs. City of Newburyport.


Varina, et al., vs. City of Newburyport, et al.


Sweeney vs. City of Newburyport.


Leonard, Mackintosh, Poor vs. City of Newburyport.


Little, et al., Trustees vs. City of Newburyport.


The case of Dame, et al., vs. City of Newburyport is an action for services claimed to have been rendered the city in connection with the Water Case, so called. The case was referred to an auditor in 1903, and the next year one hearing was held; a further hearing was held during the past year, and the case is still pending.


Varina, et al., vs. City of Newburyport, et al., is an action for damages alleged to have been sustained by the taking of land in the rebuilding of the Newburyport Bridge. Dur- ing the year two hearings have been held in the Land Court, and a third is assigned for January 6, 1908.


187

ANNUAL REPORTS


In the case of Johanna Sweeney vs. City of Newburyport, for injuries caused by the defective condition of the sidewalk on Elm street, there was a trial before a jury in the Superior Court, which resulted in a verdict of $1,000 for the plaintiff.


The case of Timothy Sweeney against the City for the same cause of action was settled by an entry for the de- fendant.


The cases of Poor vs. City of Newburyport, Mackintosh vs. City of Newburyport and Leonard vs. City of Newburyport were appeals from a decree of the Board of Aldermen which adjudged a building on Prospect street owned by these par- ties to be a nuisance; the building has since been removed and entries disposing of these actions made.


The case of Little, et al., Trustees of E. P. Dodge Manufac- turing Co., vs. City of Newburyport was an action for abate- ment of the taxes assessed on the factory property of the com- pany ; the case was referred to a commissioner. The prop- erty in question had been assessed and taxed for $64,300; the commissioner found the fair cash value to be $53,900 and ordered an abatement accordingly.


Mention might be made here of the cases of Citizens Sav- ings Bank vs. City of Newburyport, and City of Newbury- port vs. Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Company, in which R. G. Dodge, Esq., was counsel for the city when I was ap- pointed to this office and concerning the status of which any report would more properly come from him than from me.


During the year the following cases arose :


Edwin F. Hunt vs. City of Newburyport.


Frank L. Lattime, Petitioner, vs. Albert F. Hunt, Mayor, et al., Respondents.


Lundborg, Admr., vs. City of Newburyport.


Parker, Admx., vs. City of Newburyport.


189


CITY SOLICITOR


The case of Edwin F. Hunt vs. City of Newburyport was an action of tort for damages to the property of the plaintiff situated on Water street, claimed to have been caused by the breaking of a water main on Marlboro street and the conse- quent flooding of the plaintiff's premises. There was a trial in the Newburyport Police Court which resulted in a finding for the defendant city, from which an appeal has been taken, and is now pending in the Superior Court.


Lattime, Petr., vs. Hunt, Mayor, et als., Respondent, was a petition for a writ of mandamus to restore the petitioner to the office of policeman from which it had been attempted to remove him. The matter was heard before a single justice of the Supreme Court and by him reserved for the full bench : the Court decreed that the writ issue.


The case of Lundborg, Admr., vs. City of Newburyport is an action of tort for injuries claimed to have resulted in the death of the plaintiff's intestate and which it is alleged were caused by the defective condition of the sidewalk on Titcomb street. The case has been entered in the Superior Court and an answer for the city filed, but has not yet come to trial.


The case of Parker, Admx., vs. City of Newburyport is an action of tort for injuries claimed to have been caused by the defective condition of the highway at the corner of Ocean and Warren streets and which it is alleged resulted in the death of the plaintiff's intestate. The writ in this case is made returnable next February.


During the year I have prosecuted 12 cases for violations of the liquor laws, resulting in convictions in 10 cases.


I have been called upon for a large number of opinions, both written and oral, and have drafted a number of con- tracts and other legal documents.

CITY FARM


The city farm was under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Nelson until April 1, when, much to the regret of the overseers of the poor, they resigned their positions, and Mr. and Mrs. John H. Burnham, of Saugus, were selected as superintendent and matron of the city farm, where they remained until September 1, when Mr. and Mrs. George H.


194


ANNUAL REPORTS


Twombly, of Wellesley Hills, were elected and now occupy the positions as superintendent and matron.


The retirement from the farm early in the spring of Mr. Nelson delayed the usual planting, and the seeming unwill- ingness of Mr. Burnham to grasp the situation caused a loss of crops and production which otherwise would not have been.


An average of 35 persons have resided in the home during the year at a cost of $2.73 per week.


January 1, 1908, 35 inmates resided in the home-20 males and 15 females.


INSANE


The support of the feeble minded and epileptics (who are not classed as insane) remain under the care of the over- seers of the poor.


The cost to the city for these dependents during the past year has been $491.74.


OUTSIDE RELIEF


Outside relief, which last year was granted to 278 persons, this year has been granted to 303 persons, and are classed as follows, 208 having settlement in Newburyport, 76 having settlement in other places and 19 having no settlement in the state, making a total of 303 persons who have been assisted during the year.


PRODUCT OF CITY FARM


The products of the city farm during the past year were: 42 tons hay, 100 bushels corn, 15 bushels onions, 300 bushels potatoes, 25 bushels carrots, 20 bushels beets, 30 barrels apples, 30 tons fodder, 140 squashes, 200 cabbages; green corn, tomatoes, string beans and other garden stuff sufficient

ANNUAL REPORTS REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN


To the Book Committee, Newburyport Public Library :


This, the fifty-second annual report, is made in accord- ance with the rule requiring that the librarian shall annually make and present to the committee on books a detailed and circumstantial report of its condition and increase.


The number of volumes reported at the close of last year was 42,826. To this have been added, either by purchase or gift, 1,132 books. There have been canceled, unfit for further use, 63 volumes, 36 have been lost or stolen, or at least are unaccounted for at this time, 12 have been renewed. The net gain is then 1,045 volumes, making a total stock November 30, 1907, of 43,871.


There are 6,327 registered borrowers, an increase from 5,695 of a year ago, 932 of whom hold duplicate or non- fiction cards, and 38 school teachers are entitled to draw 10 books each at a time for professional use.


During this period 639 books have been bound, and many hundreds, of which no detailed account is kept, have been continued serviceable by temporary binding at the library.


The circulation of books for home reading has amounted to 53,624 volumes, slightly in excess of that of the previous year. The percentage of works of fiction was 76, which is a continuous decline, it having been over 81 a few years ago.


The library was open for the delivery of books 305 1-2 days of the year, the average withdrawal of books being 175 and a fraction. The largest number drawn on a single day was 403, on February 23; the smallest, 19, on February 12, a half holiday.
