purpose of selling any goods, wares, merchandise, or other com- modities, or for public weighing, to bring in their weights, meas- ures, and balances to be adjusted and sealed. Section 23 of the same chapter provides that in cities and towns where a salary is paid to the sealer of weights and measure no fees shall be charged for such services when the articles to be sealed are brought to the office of the sealer.
In compliance with the foregoing section, the customary notice was given through the local papers in March.
Section 13 of said Chapter 65 of the Public Statutes provides that, after giving said notice, the Sealer of Weights and Measures shall go to the houses, stores, and shops of persons who neglect to comply therewith, and, having entered the same, with the con- sent of the occupants thereof, shall adjust and seal their weights, measures, and balances. The fees to be collected in such cases are specified in Section 22 of the same chapter.
The schedule of fees for work done outside of the office is as follows :-
Platform balance of 5,000 pounds capacity and upwards $1 00
Platform balance of less than 5,000 pounds capacity 50
All other scales, each 03
Weights and liquid measures, yardsticks, coal baskets, each 03
In June, July, August, September, and October, the sealer visited all places in the city (about 500) where goods were bought or sold, and tested and sealed all scales, weights, and measures which were found correct, and condemned all found beyond re- pair and useless. A great many were adjusted before sealing, and some were tagged for repairs.

JOHN H. DUSSEAULT, Sealer of Weights and Measures.
REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.
SOMERVILLE, January 23, 1901.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-
Gentlemen,-The following is my report as City Solicitor for the year 1900 :-
There have been about the usual number of cases in court. Several claims for highway accidents have been settled out of court ; one case was tried in which a verdict was given against the city for $1,000, for the payment of which the city will prob- ably be reimbursed; in another a verdict was given for $450, being $200 less than the case could have been settled for ; another was disposed of without trial and without any payment by the city. A suit pending for several years on claims for extra work and materials, and for the balance due under the contract for the construction of the storm water drain in the "Tannery brook val- ley district" in West Somerville, was settled with an assignee of the contractor, and a bond with a satisfactory surety was taken for the protection of the city. The trustees of Tufts College have brought suit for the recovery of taxes assessed in the year 1899, and it is likely that proceedings will be taken by the college in regard to the taxes assessed in the year 1900. Petitions for the abolition of grade crossings at Somerville avenue, Medford street, Webster avenue, Dane street, and Park street, now pending in the superior court, have been amended by making the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company and the Boston & Maine Railroad parties defendant. Co-operation with the city government of Cambridge in regard to these petitions seems de- sirable, owing to the fact that the railroad tracks at Medford street are near the Cambridge line, and the fact that the tracks of the Boston & Albany Railroad Company across Somerville ave- nue extend through Cambridge and across several of the most important streets in that city.
Two acts were secured from the legislature in regard to the laying out of parks on Prospect hill and Winter hill. Other legislative matters attended to in which the city was interested in- cluded bills relating to blasting in West Somerville, a new bridge over the Mystic river at Middlesex avenue, and a change of the law in regard to street railways.
The apportionment of the expenses of the Metropolitan park district was taken up before a special commission, under whose report the city is called upon to pay considerably less than
438
ANNUAL REPORTS.
by the apportionment made five years ago, which was afterward set aside by the legislature. The validity of the report has re- cently been argued before the full bench of the supreme court.
Many questions have arisen under the new charter, in the settlement of which help has been received from decisions of our courts arising under similar charters of other cities. The ordi- nances have been revised, most of the detail work falling upon the city clerk and the city solicitor.
Titles to various parcels of land purchased for schoolhouse and other purposes have been examined. A conveyance of land was obtained from the Metropolitan water board completing the course of the parkway in West Somerville.
For the first time a surety company has been accepted as surety on the treasurer's bond, it being without conditions ex- cept those which are stated in the bond itself. In consequence of the resignation of the treasurer and collector of taxes and the election of another in his place, new warrants were issued for the collection of all unpaid taxes.
Among the more important special contracts made during the year were one for the construction of a bridge at Boston ave- nue over the Mystic river, and one with the Somerville Electric Light Company to continue for six years.
Very respectfully, FRANK W. KAAN, City Solicitor.

Twelve hundred and ninety-four of the births registered were reported by physicians and midwives. The canvassers verified 869 of these reports, and obtained 650 others. Of this latter number, several are included in the number reported by physi- cians, but their reports of these cases were not received in season to be given to the canvassers for verification. Many of the families in which occurred the births reported by physicians moved during the year, and therefore were not reached by the
