STREET COMMISSIONER

SUPPRESSION OF MOTHS


This department cares for all trees both public and private, in regard to moths. The moth situation in our city is well un- der control. The department should have a new motor spraying. machine.

SHADE TREES


Shade trees are a great asset to the appearance of a city. Many have had to be removed being dead or dangerous. I think the city should purchase new trees to take the place of those removed. Tax payers have been caused considerable trouble by poplar trees, the roots growing into the drain and stopping it. Many of these trees have been removed.

$7,204.00 was expended for the Care of Trees

IN MEMORIAM


Due to the death of Mr. Robert W. Houley, Commissioner of Streets, on October 10, 1932, the supervision of the depart- ment was taken over by the Mayor. Mr. Houley served during the years 1930-1931 and until October 10, 1932.


Commissioner Houley's record of service was exceptionally outstanding. The streets during his regime were brought to a higher standard than ever before in the history of our city. The supervision of his men truly portrayed the human side of Com- missioner Houley. He shared their troubles, counselled them with brotherly advice and was their true friend.


The administration of the Highway Department under his direction will be an example worthy of exemplification.


I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the members of the Board of Aldermen and the men of the department for their support and cooperation.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN J. MURPHY,


Mayor and Acting Street Commissioner.

ELECTION COMMISSIONERS


JURORS


In accordance with chapter 234, of the General Laws, as amended by chapter 311 of the Acts of 1924, the Election Com- missioners prepared a list of the inhabitants of Somerville, liable to serve as jurors. The Board has established a system of having each person provisionally selected for jury, fill out a questionnaire and appear before a member of the Board at the office and make oath to the statements contained therein. This gives the Board an opportunity to meet each individual and note, if any, his physical defects or disability to render the county the service that would be required of him as a juror. These personal examinations, also enable the Board to know the educational qualifications of each prospective juror.


The members of the Board make an impartial selection from all parts of the city, of mnen of various occupations and are of the opinion that the persons finally selected, represent an average of our citizenship. The jury list prepared by the Board for the year 1932, contains the names of 1297 voters of Somerville.

A recount of ballots (Democratic) cast at the State Prim- ary, September 20th, for Representative in General Court, for the 23rd District, precinct three of Ward Two; and the four wards of the 24th District (one, three, four, and five), and a recount of ballots (Republican) cast for Representative in General Court for the 25th District (wards six and seven) was held September 27th and 28th.
