Sidewalks have been formed in many places, edge- stones have been set and gutters paved to a greater extent than in any former year; but we still remain sadly deficient in these elements of comfort and beauty. Fencing to a large extent has been renewed, and in
19
this particular the highways are less dangerous than at any previous period.
A section of Oak Street, found to be forty feet in width, has been graded under the direction of this Board, to whom the matter was referred, and its acceptance as a town-way is recommended. There being a street on Spring Hill with the same designa- tion, it is suggested that this may be known hereafter as Houghton Street.
Pearl Street, from Franklin Street southward, has also been put in proper order, at the expense of the abutters, and ought now to be accepted as a town-way.
The subject of opening Three-pole Lane was, at the meeting in April last, submitted to the discretion of the Selectmen. So far as could be done without en- countering serious obstructions, this passage-way has been graded and made available for public travel; but, inasmuch as this Board and that of the School Com- mittee were not entirely agreed in reference to the disposition which should be made of the school-house now standing in the way of a complete opening, this matter is again referred to the town. It will be appa- rent to every one who may examine the questions here involved, that the rights of owners of estates in this neighborhood have in some manner been disregarded, and that it is not unreasonable for parties immediately interested to ask for an early adjustment of the lines of this thoroughfare.
School Street, which has for years employed some portion of the labor of those who were engaged in the service of the highways, is now opened from Milk Street to Broadway, and is likely to prove advanta- geous to our increasing population.
20
Reservoirs have been built under Franklin and Florence Streets, the two costing $1,000, one half of which has been paid by the contributions of persons residing near them. Hydrants, connecting with the Cambridge Water Works, are to be placed near the Union Glass Works, and in the neighborhood of the Franklin School-house, and these will furnish a secu- rity more than equal to that of reservoirs. Should the city of Charlestown, as is now contemplated, lay water-pipes through the easterly part of the town, the necessity for this kind of expense in that section will cease altogether,
The practice of keeping swine among the denser portion of our population, has led to numerous com- plaints ; and this, in connection with questions which have arisen out of the presence of contagious disease, has developed such a degree of imperfection in our present By-Laws, as to demand their abolition, and the formation of an entirely new code. The experi- ence of this Board in the matter has led to the con- clusion that no useful system can be devised without employing to a large extent the services of some per- son well versed in the law. The present condition of the statutes of the Commonwealth points to this as a favorable period for considering the matter. Some of the difficulties which have been encountered might be obviated by constituting the Selectmen a Board of Health.
The course pursued by the town authorities in reference to the detection of incendiaries, has proved effectual in restraining the operations of this class of offenders during the past year ; and, for purposes con- nected with this part of their official duty, the Select- men have authorized an expenditure of about $700.
21
A number of persons have been arrested, some of whom are now in confinement in the State Prison ; others are awaiting sentence; and there are still at large those who are known to have been participants in crimes here referred to, but whose arrest it has been thought advisable to defer. It is believed, from the knowledge in possession of some of our citizens, that the individuals who have for several years been engaged in this nefarious business, can be readily des- ignated ; and that, by keeping them under the surveil- lance of proper officers, the town may be protected hereafter, in a great degree, from the danger and dam- age incident to this species of villainy.
As directed by a vote at the meeting in April last, preparations for a complete survey of our territory were begun in July, and such progress has been made in the work as leads to a belief that the whole may be completed within a year from the date of its commence- ment. When this subject was presented for the con- sideration of our citizens, the survey was expected to in- volve an outlay of several thousand dollars, to occupy from two to three years of engineering skill, and to require a special appropriation to defray its expenses. It now appears probable that the whole cost will not exceed $1,500, and that this can be met out of the means usually placed at the disposal of the Selectmen. The reasons heretofore urged as to the necessity of a survey of this kind, have been confirmed by the experience acquired the past year, and while some important modifications of existing lines will undoubt- edly be found necessary, great benefits must be derived from the establishment of permanent and certain boundaries to our streets. This work might have been
22
greatly increased in value, by including a provision for fixing the grades of our highways, and this should not be lost sight of in the action of any future govern- ment of the town. Individual estates can also at any time hereafter be delineated on the plans now making, and an index prepared, by this means simplifying the duties of Assessors, and aiding them to overcome many obstacles to an intelligent and satisfactory performance of their laborious task.
In the Report of the Selectmen a year ago, reference was made to the condition of the bridges on the line of the Boston and Lowell Railroad, and to the neces- sity of such an understanding with the corporation as will secure, from time to time, some improvement in these structures. A recent occurrence under the bridge crossing Washington Street, which resulted in damages to the amount of about six hundred dollars, has again called public attention to this subject, and confirmed many in the opinion heretofore expressed, that the railroad should, at this point, pass the highway on the same grade. Whenever our people shall be inclined to assume the cost of filling the highway at this place to a level with the railroad, it is highly probable that the corporation will, on their part, provide for the support and care of a gate ; and it is to be hoped that a matter of so much importance to the traveller, will receive such attention from our citizens as to lead them to adopt the best remedy for the present incon- venient and dangerous arrangement. The company have uniformly exhibited a commendable readiness to meet all reasonable claims made upon them by the town, and will, without doubt, protect us from loss on account of the accident here referred to.
23
Thus presenting a glance at the more important matters which have engaged attention, the Selectmen relinquish the trust reposed in them by their fellow- townsmen-the major part of their number desirous of relief from the onerous duties of the office-in the fullest confidence that no well-intentioned efforts to promote the welfare and prosperity of the town, will meet with harsh or ungenerous animadversion.

SOMERVILLE, March 3, 1860.
REPORT OF THE TREASURER.
BY an inspection of the following statement of receipts and dis- bursements, for the financial year, ending March 1, 1860, it will appear that the town stands better financially, than one year pre- ceding, by the amount of two thousand three hundred twenty- three dollars and forty cents.
Thus-there has been liquidated of the town debt uncollected of the Tax of 1859, March
. $4,375 51 $1,784 58 1860, . . ·
Uncollected of the Tax of 1858, Mar. 1859. 2,957 38 1,418 13
$3,202 71
Less amount of cash in the Treasury now than on the
1st, March 1859,
$879 31
$2,323 40
It will be recollected that the town " authorized the Treasurer to borrow a sum of money not exceeding twenty thousand dollars on a credit of twenty years, for the purpose of consolidating a portion of the town debt, provided the same could be obtained at a rate of interest less than six per cent."
In accordance with the spirit of that vote, your Treasurer has hired the sum of nineteen thousand eight hundred and fifty-four dollars, at five and a half per cent. per annum, payable semi-annu- ally in Boston. The principal payable in twenty years from the date of the notes, which are two in number, and which are speci- fied in their proper places.
It will be perceived that none of the funded debt of the town falls due the present financial year, but it should not be forgotten that the uncollected taxes are averaging more than $1,500 per annum, and the discounts and abatements to about $2,000, while
4
26
the expenditures of the several boards quite as often exceed as fall within their appropriations. It would therefore seem advisable to guard against a deficit that will be likely to occur from year to year, by an appropriation that shall be be deemed adequate to cover these items of loss.
