Performance of Duties. 1
During the past year there has been a new route estab- lished in the western part of the city known as No. 22, which required the services of two more patrolmen; a new signal box No. 143 has been installed at Conwell avenue, corner of West Adams street ; one patrolman was retired, four patrol- men promoted to sergeants, eight reservemen promoted to patrolmen, eight reservemen and an assistant matron were appointed. The officers have all performed their duties well and the city has been orderly.
Recommendations.
I wish to renew my former recommendations for the purchase of automobiles and think that a trial of the use of automobiles for patrol purposes in some sections of the city instead of increasing the number of patrolmen would
393
CHIEF OF POLICE.
prove to be of much value. The automobile could be used both day and night manned with a chauffeur and officer and car equipped with safety appliances. It would be possible to cover a larger area and more often than an officer on foot could do. This system has been worked out to advantage in some of the larger western cities and is in the line of progress, for the citizen of today who requires the services of the police expects a prompt response to his summons.
There should be some suitable provision made for the storage of valuable books and papers.
The traffic problem is a difficult one to properly solve and much thought is being given this subject everywhere on account of the increasing use of the automobile. More offi- cers should be detailed for this important duty.
Conclusion.
To the Mayor, Honorable Zebedee E. Cliff, I wish to express my thanks for his support of all good work per- formed and for his interest in strengthening the department, as far as the finances of the city would allow. To the offi- cers, patrolmen, reservemen and matrons, heads of all de- partments, court officials and newspaper men my thanks are extended.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES A. KENDALL, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
OFFICE OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
City Hall Annex, Somerville, January 1, 1916. To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen :--
The following report of the sealer of weights and meas- ures for the year 1915 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 each sealer of weights and measures, including the county treasurers, shall receive a fee of one dollar for sealing each platform balance if weighing five thousand pounds or more, and fifty cents if weighing 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 cus- tomary notice was given by advertising in the Somerville papers in March, 1915.
During the year the sealer visited all places in the city where goods were bought or sold, tested all scales, weights and measures, sealed those which were found correct, and condemned all found beyond repair and useless.
200 scales, weights and measures were adjusted before sealing, sixty-five scales were tagged for repairs, thirty-six of which were repaired as ordered, and the remaining twenty- nine put out of use, 1,408 weights and measures were con- demned.

REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR.
To the Honorable, the Mayor, and Aldermen of the City of Somerville :--
The following is my report as city solicitor for the year 1915 :-
Actions in court and claims for injuries received by reason of defects in public ways were settled for $75, $75, $75, $100, $100, $100, $225, $266, $300, $300, $300, $400, $1,350 and $2,300. The last mentioned settlement was for the loss of an eye.
Four actions brought to secure the abatement or repay- ment of taxes assessed on personal property and another for the abatement of a tax on real estate were adjusted with small expense to the city.
In an action relating to the retirement on a pension of a member of the police department the supreme court decided that the provisions of Chapter 624 of the Acts of the Legisla- ture for the year 1911 applied to such retirement.
A settlement was made with the owner of an undivided part of land in Maple street taken by the city for school- house purposes in the year 1911. The delay in reaching a settlement has been due to the inability of the owners of various undivided parts to agree among themselves about the division of the total sum to be paid by the city.
The action brought by the Union Glass Company for damages to its real estate resulting from the abolition of the railroad grade crossing at Webster avenue is still pending, the exceptions of the company not having been allowed as yet by the Court. Negotiations are in progress for an ad- justment of claims by the railroad company on which ac- tions have been brought for damages to parcels of real estate at several crossings.
An act was secured from the Legislature appropriating $35,000 for the construction of a parkway at Alewife Brook from Powder House boulevard in this city to Massachusetts avenue in Cambridge. An act was passed for the apportion- ment of the cost of reconstructing Wellington Bridge over Mystic River between this city and Medford. An attempt by the Town of Reading to secure legislation joining the town to the North Metropolitan Sewerage District was success- fully opposed. The cost to the city of such legislation would be probably about thirty thousand dollars.
Representatives of many of the cities and towns in the Metropolitan Park District endeavored to come to an agree- ment for the apportionment of the expenses of the district by
397
CITY SOLICITOR.
an act of the Legislature, but without success. Proceedings were held before commissioners appointed by the Supreme Court to make an apportionment of expenses for the next five years and an apportionment of the cost of reconstructing Wellington Bridge under the act above mentioned.
Very respectfully, FRANK W. KAAN, City Solicitor.
