solemn obligations. It will also be the occasion of congratulation on the part of all such citizens that their services are at last prop- erly recognized.
SUITS AT LAW.
At present the city is remarkably free from litigation, with no important suits pending.
There are only eleven cases on the solicitor's docket, four of which are accident cases, which will be tried during the present term. During the past year there has not been a verdict against the city for damages, personal or otherwise, on the highways, and only two during the past nine years, in one of which cases the verdict was $225 and in the other but $108. Seventeen cases have been disposed of during the past year. There are at present no assessment cases pending in court.
WATER CONTRACT.
The following statistics show conclusively to my mind that the contract now existing between Somerville and Boston for the sup- ply of Mystic water is unjust, and that a determined effort should be made during the coming year to secure a new contract, or a modification of the old one.
Our water-works cost .
$342,608 76
We have paid for maintenance
89,928 13
We have paid for interest .
265,402 62
Total cost $697,939 51
From which take amount received from city of Boston 162,748 24
And it leaves as the net cost $535,191 27
which has been paid, or will be paid, from the tax levy of our city ; and in addition to this the property-owners have paid $47,165.26 for the services, which in Charlestown are paid for from the earnings of the water-works. The cost of construction and maintenance to the tax-payers of Boston for the water-works in the Charlestown District, up to the present time, according to the statement furnished me by the chairman of the Boston water board, is the amount contributed to the sinking-funds since 1878 ; namely, $146,497.89, or $435,858.64 less than the cost of the water-works to our tax-payers. It should also be remembered
24
ANNUAL REPORTS.
that the cement pipes originally laid in Charlestown have nearly all been replaced, during the past seven years, with first-class iron pipes, at the expense of the Mystic Water-works. This manifest injustice leads me to suppose that a united effort on the part of Somerville, Chelsea, and Everett will secure a modification of the contract.
WATER-WORKS.
The water board, on account of the increasing number of breaks in the cement pipes, have wisely concluded to lay in the future iron pipes only. It is hoped that if this change necessitates the use of more money, it will be provided for in the annual appropria- tions for maintenance, instead of opening a construction account, and increasing the water debt.
WATERING STREETS.
Although the watering of streets adds to the attractions of the city, and to the comfort of every person using them, it is not a necessity, and cannot be called a measure of economy ; still, it is a luxury which our tax-payers seem to be willing to support, and, to a reasonable extent, their wishes should be gratified, although it seems to me the larger part of the expense should be borne by the citizens themselves. A few years ago the street-watering was in charge of the committee on water; but, by vote of the city council, it was transferred to the committee on highways. I believe this was a mistake ; for the last-mentioned committee have a large amount of business to look after, and during the past few years the committee on water have had none at all. I am aware that the work has not been done during the past year in as satis- factory a manner as possible, owing to the fact that the committee having charge of it have been overworked. I recommend that they be relieved by transferring the charge of this department to the committee on water. The amount set aside for the purpose of watering streets last year was $3,000.
CONCLUSION.
In closing, I would say to you, gentlemen of the city council, that one of the most important duties we have to perform is to provide for the payment of the city's debt. Past city councils,
25
MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
since 1875, have devoted their energies to this object ; and future ones must continue to do so until the debt is so far reduced as to cease to be a burden to the people, and cease to stand in the way of needed improvements. As long as the contributions to the sinking-funds, and the appropriation for interest account, are as large as they now are, and our city continues to increase in popu- lation as rapidly as it now does, the rate of taxation will continue to be high ; and it may, and probably will, be necessary to refuse some of the requests of our citizens for improvements.
The responsibility of fixing the amount to be expended in any department will rest with the city council, not with the committee having the matter in charge ; but the committee will be held respon- sible for the manner in which it is expended. Committees should be cautious in the early part of the year in their expenditures, in order that they may not be obliged to postpone necessary improve- ments later in the season for the want of funds. Measures should be adopted for the good of the public, not for the benefit of private individuals ; although needed improvements should not be postponed for the reason that they may benefit private interests, and assist private enterprise.
In making appointments and electing officers, it should be remem- bered that political influence and power are not necessarily qualifi- cations for office ; but men should be selected solely on account of their peculiar qualifications for the positions they are to hold. We should all work for the best interests of the city; each member should devote the necessary time to the transaction of the business ; he should investigate all subjects for himself, and decide all ques- tions, as far as his vote will decide them, according to the dictates of his own judgment ; and let us all perform our official duties in such manner as to show that we have a just appreciation of the important trusts that have been placed in our hands. The con- sciousness of having served our fellow-citizens faithfully and effi- ciently will be a source of pleasure to us all in the years to come, and such service will greatly advance the material interests of the city and the prosperity of the people.

IN COMMITTEE ON FINANCE, Feb. 12, 1886.
To the City Council of Somerville, -By an examination of the report, books, and vouchers of the treasurer and collector of taxes, made by this committee in conjunction with the auditor, and a comparison of the same with the statements presented by the various committees, boards, and offi- cers of the city as required by ordinance, and with the books of the auditor, it appears that the accounts of the treasurer and collector are correct; and we would add that his books are kept in a remarkably neat, systematic, and business-like manner. We have also ascertained, by actual count and by visiting the banks of deposit, that his cash on hand agrees with the cash- balance shown by his books. We therefore recommend that his report be accepted, and printed with the other annual reports.
