The appropriation for this department last year was $22,000, and the credits $196.44 additional. The expenditure was $22,- 124.89, leaving a balance of $71.55 to the credit of the account.


The total estimated loss by fire was $19,342, upon which in- surance to the amount of $17,379 was paid.


SUITS AT LAW.


The city is remarkably free from litigation, with but few suits of any importance now pending. During the year past the suit of Sanborn against the city, for grade damages on Washington street, has resulted in a verdict for the city.


Squire vs. Somerville has been referred to an auditor.


Sullivan vs. Somerville is still pending, and the suits of Hitch- ings and nine others for the abatement of betterment assessments for the laying out of Columbus avenue extension, have been taken to the Supreme Court for decision upon legal questions.


Whitcher vs. Somerville is an action recently brought for damages by reason of an accident on Washington street.


The suits of Parker, trustee, remain in the same condition as last year.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


WATER CONTRACT.


A special committee was appointed last year to endeavor to secure a modification of the contract under which we are supplied with water by the city of Boston. That committee labored faith- fully to accomplish the purpose, but failed, for reasons set forth in their final report to the last city government. It would be well to renew the effort the present year.


POOR DEPARTMENT.


The appropriation for this department in 1882, was $14,000. The expenditures exceeded this amount by $789. Our board of overseers recommend that an almshouse be provided as a measure of economy in the support of the poor. It would be well to care- fully investigate the subject, and adopt the suggestion, if it should commend itself to your judgment. The calls upon the department are increasing with our increasing population, and it is only a question of time when some provision must be made for the care of the poor different from the present arrangement.


IN GENERAL.


Our police department consists of a chief, captain, two ser- geants, and twenty patrolmen. The appropriation for its support last year was $22,500, and about $300 of this amount remained unexpended at the close of the year.


The appropriation for street lights in 1882 was $7,000, and the expenditures exceeded that amount by $146.


An unusually large number of questions in which our city was interested, came before the Legislature last year for action. Much of the time of our city solicitor during the first months of the year was occupied in committee hearings upon matters of im- portance to our city, and in his annual report he suggests that a standing committee upon legislative matters be appointed. I con- cur in the recommendation.


Our citizens, by a decided majority, have again voted that no licenses shall be granted for the sale of intoxicating liquors during the present year, and that expressed will must be carried out, and the sale of liquors prevented as far as possible. During

MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.


the past year it has been asserted in my hearing that as much liquor as ever was being sold within our limits. This I do not believe. In no case has a complaint been made to myself, or to our chief of police, where a prompt and earnest effort has not been made to bring the parties complained of under the arm of the law. The number of places searched for liquors in 1882 was 25 ; number of prosecutions made, 15 ; number of places closed by action, 11; number closed without action, 1. The statistics of our police force cannot be relied upon, of course, to show how much intoxication arises from liquor procured in our own city, and how much from that obtained elsewhere, but the following figures present a favorable showing for the past year in comparison with previous ones :-

If any one feels that the law is not impartially and efficiently enforced, that person has only to enter his complaint to myself, or the chief of police, of any violation of the law within his knowledge, to secure immediate action and prosecution, if suffi- cient evidence can be obtained.


Our city is prosperous beyond any previous period in her his- tory. In the year just closed, eighty-three new dwelling-houses, two manufactories, one car-house and five stables have been erected, aside from a large number of additions and improve -. ments. In a great measure the continuance of this prosperity depends upon a wise and economical management of our munici- pal affairs. During the coming year, if each one of us will but devote his best efforts to the work before us, we will be able to turn over our responsibilities at its close with satisfaction to our- selves, and with the good opinion of our fellow-citizens. Your


26


ANNUAL REPORTS.


immediate predecessors in our city council have left behind them a record unsurpassed for economy, efficiency and faithful atten- tion to the duties of their several positions. I sincerely trust that you will emulate their example, and surpass it, if possible.


In closing, I desire to express to my fellow-citizens a deep sense of gratitude for the evidence of their confidence and esteem manifested in my re-election for a third term, by a nearly unani- mous vote, to the responsible duties of this office. It will be my utmost endeavor to merit a continuance of that confidence, by faithful and industrious attention to the interests of our city dur- ing the coming year,

IN COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, Feb. S, 1SS4. To the City Council of Somerville : -


Agreeably with the requirements of section 9 of ordinance No. 4, the Committee on Finance, in conjunction with the auditor, has examined the accounts and books and the annual report of the city treasurer and collec- tor of taxes for the year 1883, and has failed to find any errors therein.


A comparison has been made with the books of the city auditor; with the warrants and vouchers in the files of the treasurer; with the statements forwarded in compliance with section 4 of ordinance No. 4, by the severa committees and boards; and by a general comparison of the books and vouchers. The cash balance, as shown by said books and accounts, has also been verified by actual count, and examination of bank deposits. Your committee would commend the very neat and business-like appear- ance of the books and accounts of the city treasurer and collector of taxes, and the thorough and conscientious manner in which the duties of his office are discharged, and recommends that his report be accepted and printed with the annual reports.

TREASURER'S OFFICE, January 19, 1SS4. To the Honorable the Mayor and City Council of the City of Somerville :--


GENTLEMEN,- The undersigned presents herewith the twelfth annual report of the financial condition of the city, and a state- ment showing in detail the receipts and disbursements of the several departments for the year ending December 31, 1883.


The valuation of the public property December 31, 1882, was $1,155,000, and the accessions thereto during the past year were, for cost of Edgerly School-house addition $17,000, and for the furniture placed therein $600; making the value of the public property. December 31, 1883, $1,172,600. 6 A new steam fire engine and four fire extinguishers have been purchased during the year by the committee on fire department, at a cost of $4,136.50. The inventory of public property has not been in- creased by reason of the purchase of this apparatus, as the de- preciation of the old engine made the purchase of a new one a necessity, in order to preserve the efficiency of the department.


The funded debt of the city remains the same as at the close of last year, viz., $1,585,000.

ANNUAL REPORTS.


There will mature, during the present year, bonds of the city amounting to $473,500, bearing interest as follows :- $5,000 at 5 per cent. ; $20,000 at 5g per cent. ; $26,000 at 6 per cent. ; and $422,500 at 62 per cent., which will have to be provided for as follows :-


April 1st, $47,000 ; July 1st, $82,000 ; and October 1st, $344,- 500. If these bonds are issued bearing interest coupons at 4 per cent., which can undoubtedly be done at a premium, reserving such an amount as will be required for the investment by the commissioners of the sinking funds of their appropriation and accumulations, to be issued at 5 per cent., there will be an annua reduction of the amount required to be appropriated for the payment of interest of about $10,000.


The tax levy for 1883 was on a valuation of $23,812,900, at a rate of $16.70 on $1,000 valuation; and 6,985 polls at $2.00 each ; amounting to $411,645.43.


The appropriations for the year provided for by the tax levy, the additional amounts credited, the amount of expenditures and unexpended balances of the various departments, were as follows : -
