An accident having occurred to Michael Hennessy, in July last, at a point in this town where the Fitch- burg Railroad is crossed by a private way called Union Street, leading from Milk Street to Beacon Street, the attention of the Selectmen was specially drawn to the insecurity of this and other similarly situated streets in that neighborhood. They therefore caused several sign-boards to be prepared for the purpose of caution- ing the public against travelling upon private ways, which will be placed at the entrances of all such ways as soon as the condition of the earth will permit. But this, alone, is but a feeble precaution, and it is deem- ed expedient that the town should take some definite action in reference to Union, Dane, and all similarly situated streets, to render them more safe and con- venient for travel. The claim for the above accident, had at one time assumed most formidable proportions; and as the relative liabilities of the Town and the railway, could only be ascertained by allowing the case to pass through the tedious process of law, which is always expensive and at best uncertain, it was, by mu- tual concession and forbearance, amicably settled by the Town and the railway company uniting to pay Mr. Hennessy a satisfactory consideration.
An extension of time upon the contract made by the Lowell Railroad Company with the Town, for widening their bridge over Milk Street, being urgently solicited by them on account of the very great depression of the times, and it appearing that the public interests would not materially suffer in consequence, it has been grant- ed ; allowing them until July 1st, 1862 for its comple- tion.
23
Early in the year, the Town was notified to appear at a hearing before the County Commissioners, in refer- ence to the laying out of Medford Turnpike as a coun- ty way, upon the petition of Geo. Cutter and others. Upon careful investigation of the subject, the Select- men were convinced that this measure is at present uncalled for, and would involve an expense to the Town of several thousand dollars. They therefore deemed it expedient to employ able counsel to appear in their be- half and oppose the measure. Of the decision of the commissioners, we have not yet been informed.
Upon the completion of the Brastow School-house, the old Medford Street building was conveyed by the School Committee into the charge of the Selectmen; and as it was an encroachment upon the lines of Three- Pole Lane as previously laid out, they endeavored to make some suitable arrangement for its disposal. It was first offered for sale; but no satisfactory bid being made for it, it was decided to remove it to the lot of va- cant land belonging to the Town, on the corner of Milk and Prospect Streets, and fit it up to supply a necessi- ty that had long been felt for increased accommodations for transient lodgers, and for a suitable room wherein to hold a Justice's Court and committee meetings. This room has almost been a necessity in the disbursements of the Relief Committee, who have held their weekly meetings there. After having taken the requisite por- tion of the building for these purposes, a considerable part of it yet remained, and it was converted into a neat and commodions tenement, which is now occupied by one of the teamsters in the employ of the Town, at a rent of $75 per annum. The expense of the above
24
has been about $600, and has been paid from the ordi- nary appropriation for contingencies.
The location of the former Town Pound having been selected by the School Committee for the site of the Brastow School-House, a new one, of ampler di- mensions has been constructed at the corner of Broad- way and Cedar Streets, upon the estate sometimes called the Town Farm. This estate, originally se- lected with the intention of its being converted into a Cemetery, being, a large part of it swampy and wet, 'seems to this board to be very unfit for such a use ; and if it shall be still the desire of the citizens to se- cure an estate for this purpose, it will be advisable to procure some more favorable situation.
A perambulation of the boundary line between the City of Cambridge and this Town, as required by statute, has this year been made by a committee from each government ; the bounds properly adjusted, and a suitable record made.
The survey of the Town commenced in 1859, has this year been completed, and submitted to the Coun- ty Commissioners for their approval. Sectional plans of all the streets, showing their lines, the location of monuments marking the angles, &c, have been pre- pared, and strongly bound in two large volumes. The large map of the Town, recently completed in con- nection with this survey, from the best and most au- thentic sources, is believed to be one of the best town maps in the State; and it is a matter of regret, that the efforts of the Civil Engineer who constructed it, to obtain subscribers enough to warrant the undertak- ing of publishing a lithograph of it upon a reduced
25
scale, and also a good directory of the Town, should not have been successful. The entire cost of this sur- vey, including the map, has been about $1900, and is very much less than even the lowest proposal origi- nally received for its performance by contract.
In closing their report, the retiring board feel em- boldened to offer a single suggestion in reference to the amount of appropriation which will probably be required for the ensuing year.
While they feel that in ordinary times, the amount of the appropriations entrusted to the Selectmen in each of the last two or three years, (about $10,000,) is not extravagant, and as a general thing could be judiciously expended annually, yet, feeling that in the present aspect of the country, nothing but what is of absolute necessity should be indulged in, a re- trenchment of $1000 might safely be attempted, and therefore recommend the following appropriations :- For Highways and Sidewalks, $6000.
For Contingent expenses, including Police, 3000.
$9000.
All of which is respectfully submitted,
BENJAMIN RANDALL, HENRY A. SNOW, THOS. CUNNINGHAM, ALBERT KENNESON, CHAS. H. GUILD.
Selectmen of Somerville.
