REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.


OFFICE OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES, - City Hall Annex, Somerville, January 5, 1907.


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :-


The following report of the sealer of weights and measures for the year 1906 is respectfully submitted :-


Section 21, chapter 62, of the Revised Laws provides that sealers of weights and measures shall annually give public notice by advertisement, or by posting, in one or more public places in their respective cities and towns, notices to all in- habitants or persons having usual places of business therein who use weights, measures or balances for the purpose of selling goods, wares, merchandise or other commodities or for public weighing, to bring in their weights, measures and balances to be adjusted and sealed. Such sealers shall attend in one or more convenient places, and shall adjust, seal and record all weights, measures and balances so brought in.


Section 34 of the same chapter provides that cach sealer of weights and measures, including the county treasurers, shall re- ceive a fee of one dollar for sealing each platform balance if weighing five thousand pounds or more, and fifty cents if weigh- ing less than that amount, and three cents each for sealing all other weights, measures, scales, beams or balances. He shall also have a reasonable compensation for all necessary repairs, alterations and adjustments made by him.


Where weights, measures and balances are sealed as pro- vided in Section 21 (that is, brought to the office), no fee is charged for sealing.


In compliance with the foregoing Section 21, the customary notice was given by advertising in the Somerville Journal in March, 1906.


During the year the sealer visited all places in the city where goods were bought or sold, tested all scales, weights and meas- ures, sealed those which were found correct, and condemned all found beyond repair and useless.


447


SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.


One hundred and seventy-four scales, weights and meas- ures were adjusted before sealing, eleven were tagged for repairs, three of which were repaired as ordered, and the remaining eight put out of use.


This department has increased from 6,896 tests in 1896 to 119,209 tests in 1906, being an average of about 400 tests per day for the year 1906. Besides this, the books and accounts must be kept. Very soon a deputy sealer will have to be ap- pointed, as this office should be open every day. Under present conditions, the office is closed during four days in each week for about six months each year, the sealer being at work in the stores and streets looking after pedlers and junk collectors.

REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.


Somerville, January 9, 1907.


To the Honorable, the Mayor, and Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville :-


The following is my report as city solicitor for the year 1906 :-


Abolition of Grade Crossings. Proceedings are now pending for the abolition of the five crossings of the Fitchburg division of the Boston & Maine railroad at Somerville avenue, Medford street, Webster avenue, Dane street and Park street, and the crossing at Somerville avenue of the Boston & Albany railroad company, now operated by the New York Central & Hudson River railroad company. The commissioners appointed by the superior court, George W. Wiggin, George F. Swain and Wil- liam F. Dana, held two public hearings in the city hall early in the year and took a view of the crossings. Other public hear- ings have since been held by them in the Tremont building, Boston, at which plans for the abolition of the crossings, pre- pared by the city engineer, were presented, with estimates of the probable expense. A public hearing was held by the board of aldermen in the city hall a few days ago, at which all persons were given an opportunity to make suggestions and to present objections to the plans of the city engineer. Another hearing has been arranged for, to be held this month by the commission in Boston. Owing to his appointment as a judge of the supe- rior court, Mr. Dana resigned from the commission, and his place has been taken by James D. Colt, who was appointed by the court.


Lowell-street Bridge. Proceedings have been brought in behalf of the city in the superior court for the purpose of carry- ing out the decree of the county commissioners relative to a bridge over the main line of the Boston & Lowell railroad divi- sion of the Boston & Maine railroad. Two actions have been brought in the supreme court by the railroad companies for the purpose of setting aside the decrees of the county commissioners relative to bridges over the main line and the branch line. In the latter actions the commissioners are parties defendant, not the city, and they are represented by their own counsel, as well as by the city solicitor. It is probable that the trial of these actions will soon take place.


Other Cases in Court. Two land damage cases, arising out of the proposed laying out of Edmands street, have been settled, each for $50, without costs.


450


ANNUAL REPORTS.


Three highway accident cases have been settled for $100, $225 and $325, respectively.


Three highway accident cases, brought originally in the Somerville police court, in which judgments after a trial were given in favor of the city, and the plaintiffs appealed to the supe- fior court, have been disposed of by final judgments in favor of the city. One of the cases was voluntarily discontinued by the plaintiff, and the others were tried in the superior court.


. A highway accident case, in which the plaintiff claimed $10,000 for injuries received on Somerville avenue, was tried before a jury in the superior court and a verdict ordered in favor of the city.


A highway accident case for injuries received on Highland avenue at the tracks of the street railway company, brought in the superior court against the city, was settled, without expense to the city, by the company which had been notified to come in and defend.


An action brought in the superior court by the city of Ever- ett, for the care of persons sick with smallpox, was settled for the same rate of charge collected by this city from other cities and towns in similar cases, being about one-half the original claim made by the plaintiff.


An action was brought in the superior court against the sheriff of Suffolk county in the name of James F. Beard, city treasurer and collector of taxes, to determine the right of a con- stable of Somerville to arrest on the tax collector's warrant a delinquent tax-payer in Boston, the keeper of the Charles-street jail, under the sheriff's orders, having declined to receive a per- son so arrested. The case was taken to the full bench of the supreme court, and a final decision was rendered in favor of the collector of taxes, sustaining the right of the constable to make the arrest.


An action for damages to property on Hall street, claimed to be due to the filling of a water course with ashes and other refuse by the health department, was argued in November be- fore the full bench of the supreme court. The decision is as yet unknown.


At the general call of the law docket in the superior court for Middlesex county, ten cases pending for a long time against the city, most of them highway accident cases, were dismissed. At the same time, one case brought by the city, relating to taxes, a portion of which were collected after the suit was brought, was likewise dismissed.


Very respectfully, FRANK W. KAAN,


City Solicitor.

The number of still-births recorded during the year was seventy-seven. In addition to the above, 161 deaths which occurred elsewhere were recorded in Somerville, almost the en- tire number of persons deceased having been residents of this city.


Licensing of Minors.


By an amendment of the law relative to the licensing of minors to engage in certain occupations, the power of granting licenses to ininors under the age of fourteen years is vested in the school committee. In accordance with this law, no licenses are issued by the city clerk for newsboys or minors engaged in similar occupations who are under the age of fourteen, but upon attaining that age those who have been licensed by the school committee must, at once, make application to the board of aldermen if it is their desire to continue in such occupation.

ANNUAL REPORT.


Ward Seven Voting Precincts.


It would seem that early consideration should be given to the need of change in the voting precincts in ward seven. Sec- tion 162 of chapter 11 of the Revised Laws provides that "if a voting precinct shall, in any year,-contain more than one thousand voters, the aldermen shall-either divide such pre- cinct into two or more voting precincts or shall make a new division of the ward into voting precincts -. " There were 964 names of registered male voters upon the list for precinct two used at the last municipal election, only thirty-six less than the limit fixed by the provisions of the above section. If any action is to be taken in this matter the present year, it should be as early in the year as possible, as the work of many of the de- partments would be affected by any change of precinct lines.


Storage of Records.


The vault room for the storage of the records of this depart- ment has become inadequate and some relief from present con- ditions is imperative. During the last four months of the year the vault is nearly filled with boxes of ballots, voting lists, etc., used at primaries and elections, which it is required by law must be preserved for stated periods, and under present conditions this mass of matter must be frequently moved in getting at the many records of the department.


I would urge the immediate construction of a large storage vault for the use of this department.
