FIRST. That our streets may be- graded, and their levels may be officially given at once, so that if a man builds his house, and it be afterwards undermined, or buried up by public authority, he may claim damages, as do those whose land is taken to widen streets in the City proper :


SECOND. That our principal streets be paved or mac- adamized, so that they may be in decent condition for travel at all seasons ; and that measures be taken to remedy the deplorable condition of the sidewalks in front of the lands of non-residents :


THIRD. That there shall be expended annually in South Boston for paving and lighting streets, for day and night police, for schools, and other things of public interest, a sum equal in proportion to the taxes paid by South Boston into the City treasury for such purposes.


FOURTH. That pure water be introduced into our


וד

streets at the same time and in the same manner as it is to be into the City proper.


These things we think we have a right to ask as mere matters of common justice ; and there are others which we would ask for considerations of public utility, con- venience, ornament and health.


We might urge. even the motive of pecuniary gain, for surely if the City means to maintain jurisdiction over this peninsula, it should try to render it an eligible resi- dence for hundreds of the valuable citizens who are every year removing their families to neighboring towns. It should strive to hasten the time when it shall be fully settled, and to have for settlers substan- tial tax-paying citizens. Among the measures which will promote all these objects, and which we carnestly desire to see adopted without delay, are,-


FIRST. THAT ONE OR MORE PUBLIC SQUARES BE LAID OUT, AND PROPERLY ORNAMENTED.


SECOND. THAT THE STREETS BE OPENED THROUGH THE LARGE TRACT OF LAND NOW SHUT UP BY THE CITY.


We will not waste time in urging the utility of public squares. The history of every populous City that has provided them, or neglected to do so, shows this so plainly that every school-boy knows it. Now is the time to do it in South Boston, or never. The land can be had very cheap ; perhaps it might be had for less than its present market value, because by laying out squares, the City would increase the value of the lots surrounding them. We are certain that if South Boston had an independent municipal government, one of the first things would be to provide for PUBLIC SQUARES, and to ornament them with trees.


It would be most agreeable to the inhabitants of South Boston, and we are sure that it would eventually be a subject of pride and pleasure to every citizen, to have one of the hills so well known as Dorchester Heights, made use of as ONE OF THE RESERVOIRS FOR THE WATER WHICH IS TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE CITY. The water would not rise quite so high as the top of the western hill, but


312


APPENDIX.


a circular reservoir might be constructed around the summit, which would stand in its centre-a beautiful islet, and which might be reached by light bridges on the four sides. This islet would furnish a most delightful walk, from which could be enjoyed an extensive pros- pect of almost matchless beauty- a complete panorama embracing a great variety of natural scenery. If the reservoir were encircled by a carriage drive, with foot paths on the outside, and the whole hill tastefully orna- mented with trees, it would form such a combination of natural and artificial beauty as few cities in the world can boast.


It is highly desirable, also, that a square should be reserved in the eastern part of the peninsula. We would suggest that the site for a Grammar School, which will certainly be needed in a few years, should be now se- lected and secured while land is cheap. We would wish to see one of such dimensions as to give, what every school-house should have, but what no one in Boston possesses, a large play-ground surrounding the building. This would secure for it a free circulation of air ; would protect it from the noise and bustle of the streets ; and would afford to the pupils a place for ex- ercise and recreation, while it would be an ornament and an advantage to the whole neighborhood.


We shall say little about opening the streets through the land which the City now keeps enclosed, because it is a case which speaks for itself.


Even if the Institutions are always to remain where they are, there is no necessity for the streets being stopped. There is no reason for holding sixty acres of land as a garden for paupers, when one acre of it would sell for enough to buy a whole farm in one of the neigh- boring towns.


The City would not allow a private individual to hold a single acre of land, and thereby interrupt even a small street, when the public good called for its being opened : and surely it should not itself hold sixty acres, and block up six large streets, without a strong and obvious ne- cessity for so doing.


-----

APPENDIX.


Finally, we would respectfully and earnestly ask the City authorities who possess the power of exercising such an immense influence upon the future condition of this peninsula, to consider that the time is at hand when its now open fields will be covered with houses-that the generation is born which will make it a populous town-and to take such measures for promoting the prosperity, salubrity and beauty of the place, as in their wisdom they may find most expedient.

AN ACT TO SET OFF A PART OF THE TOWN OF DORCHESTER: AND ANNEX THE SAME TO THE CITY OF BOSTON.


Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives: in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the. same, as follows :-


SECT. 1. All that territory of the town of Dorchester,, in the county of Norfolk, which lies north-casterly of a line extending from a stake and stones on the head-land near the line between the said town of Dorchester and the city of Roxbury in said county of Norfolk, north fifty-six degrees west across the easterly side of the Old Colony Railroad, one hundred and forty feet from the centre of a culvert next south of said line, two thousand eight hundred and twenty three (2,823) feet to a stake and stones on the head-land ; thence in a straight line . to the centre of the channel of Dorchester Bay, which. 27


314


APPENDIX.


is the dividing line between said Dorchester and the town of Quincy, with all the inhabitants and estates therein, is hereby set off from the town of Dorchester and annexed to the city of Boston in the county of Suf- folk, and shall hereafter be considered and deemed to be a part of the city of Boston : provided, that the said territory and the inhabitants thereon, set off as afore- said, shall be holden to pay all such taxes as are already assessed or ordered to be assessed by said town of Dor- chester, not extending beyond the first day of May eighteen hundred and fifty-six, in the same manner as if this act had not been passed ; and provided, further, that all paupers who have gained a settlement in said town of Dorchester by a settlement gained or derived within said territory, shall be relieved or supported by said city of Boston in the same manner as if they had a legal settlement in said city of Boston.


SECT. 2. The said inhabitants hereby set off to the city of Boston shall continue to be a part of Dorchester for the purpose of electing State officers, senators and representatives to the general court, representatives to congress, and electors of president and vice-president of the United States, until the next decennial census shall be taken, or until another apportionment of repre- sentatives to the general court shall be made ; and it shall be the duty of the mayor and aldermen of said city of Boston to make a true list of the persons residing on the territory hereby annexed thereto, qualified to vote at such elections, and post up the same in said territory, and correct the same as required by law, and deliver the same to the selectmen of said town of Dorchester seven days, at least, before any such election ; and the same shall be taken and used by the selectmen of Dor- chester for such election, in the same manner as if it had been prepared by themselves.


SECT. 3. The mayor and aldermen of the city of Bos- ton shall be and hereby are authorized to lay out and grade such streets and lanes over the said tract, within twelve months from the passage of this act, as in their


T


315


APPENDIX.


judgment the interests of the proprietors of lands in said tract and the public convenience may require : pro- vided, said proprietors shall relinquish any claim for damages or compensation for the land over which said streets and lanes are so laid out and graded, within the time aforesaid.


SECT. 4. This act shall take effect from and after its passage.


[Approved by the Governor, May 21, 1855.]


NEW CENSUS OF VOTERS.


A census of the voters of Boston has been completed since the 20th chapter of this book was printed. It was taken, with that of the rest of the State, to form the basis of a new apportionment of representatives. A table is here given of the number of voters in each ward in the city, and also, for comparison, the number of the same in 1850-as prepared for the Evening Tran- script. Ward Two now consists of East Boston, and Ward Twelve of South Boston (which embraces Washi- ington Village). It will be seen that the latter ward has more voters than any other in the city.

THE publication of the "History " being delayed on account of one of the Portraits being unfinished, an opportunity is afforded of noting several recent events of public interest.


A religious society has been organized at Washing- ton Village, South Boston, and a chapel built. The lat- ter was dedicated in June, 1857. Rev. Edward Squire, formerly of the Broadway Unitarian Church, is the minister.


Rev. J. A. Goodhue, late pastor of South Baptist Church (see p. 172), resigned in June, 1857.


Rev. C. S. Porter, late pastor of Phillips Church (see p. 167), was dismissed July 8th, 1857.


Rev. J. L. Blake, D.D. (see p. 160) died at Orange, in the State of New Jersey, early in July, 1857, aged 69.


The name of the firm E. & H. O. Briggs, ship-builders, is printed on page 213 with the accidental omission of one of the initials.
