CLASS SONG. THE BROWN AND GOLD.


Here's to the teachers and friends we are leaving,


Here's to the work we shall soon be achieving,


Here's to the High and the dear Brown and Gold.


Shoulder to shoulder we have struggled on together.


Broader our minds have grown, bolder and stronger. Here's to the High and the dear Brown and Gold.


Steadily onward our pathway is leading,


Onward to greater things "Veritas" guiding,


Here's to the High and the dear Brown and Gold.


Hard shall we strive that we may cover it with glory,


The name of the school which is held so dear in our mem'ry. Here's to the High and the dear Brown and Gold.


Farewell dear friends we are marching to-night,


Marching with courage into Life's Great Fight.


Steadfast our purpose our hearts ever light, Here's to the High and the dear Brown and Gold.

ANNUAL REPORT


CITY SOLICITOR


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council of the City of Attleboro:


I herewith submit my report for the year 1919 as City Solicitor.


While the duties of City Solicitor have not appeared to be particularly arduous during the past year, I have a record of something over three hundred conferences, interviews, or hearings attended, besides there have been numer- ous minor matters of which I have kept no record, as well as the regular meet- ings of the department heads which I have attended.


COURT CASES


Dickinson Case, The Dickinson Case was settled by authorization of the Council, for $130 which was 50% of the amount of actual damage sustained, and appeared to be a favorable settlement under the circumstances. Out of this taxes due the City were collected.


Simpson Case, The Simpson Case is still pending. I have spent parts of several days investigating this matter and expect it will be ready for trial in March.


State Case, The Treasurer and Receiver-General, through the office of the Attorney-General, brought suit in the Superior Court, returnable on the first Monday of December 1919, for $77.72, for board of one, Olivine Gagnon at the Rutland State Hospital. The Health Officer refused to approve this bill because he complains that the patient or ner relatives have property and' should pay the bill. I have filed an answer and the case is pending.


Fisher Case, I have brought suit in behalf of the City against John M. Fisher for damage to a hydrant on Maynard Street. This suit is now pending. in the Fourth District Court of Bristol.


CLAIMS


The claim of Mary A. Munroe for land taken to widen South Main Street was settled by vote of the Municipal Council, I obtained deed for the land and release of claims.


Fletcher Claim, The claim of C. S. Fletcher of falling over a water shut-off was voted to be paid by the Municipal Council and I had a release executed.


Nickinson Claim, On the claim of Nickinson, an old man who fell' in one of the A.B.C. Line cars and was considerably injured was settled for $50 on my advice and the approval of the Council. I had him examined by a local physician, and after investigation felt that the settlement was advanta- geous.


Wilkinson Claim, The claim of Ida M. Wilkinson for injuries received on one of the A.B.C. Line cars when it ran off the track, I settled for $10 and this settlement was later ratified by the Council. Mrs. Wilkinson's dress was torn, glasses broken, and she was somewhat bruised and was very reasonable in her demands, there being no question of liability.


141


ANNUAL REPORT


Shockro Claim, This was a claim for a child who ran in front of one of the A.B.C. Line cars on Emory Street, and after it was reported to me, I investi- gated and advised that there was no liability, and I have so advised the child's parents and no action has yet been taken.


Pierce Claim, Mrs. Francis B. Pierce was injured on one of the A. B. C. Line cars when it ran off the track in September, a claim for $400 was made through the office of White&White of Taunton. On my recommendation, the council voted authority to me to settle for $100. I settled the matter for $75.


Stevens Claim. I assisted Mr. Hewins, Supt., of the N. T. & A. to settle a claim of A. R. Stevens. After November 14th one of the cars ran into a automobile belonging to Mr. Stevens, causing property damage of about $300, and also there were four personal injury claims. Mr. Hewins found that all of these claims could be settled for $75 and, in view of the apparent liability, we felt justified in making settlement.


A. B. C. STREET RAILWAY LINE


Besides tne accident claims settled, I had given advice on several matters relating to this line, and have conferred regarding the bill for extension of time for the assessment of the abutters.


N. T. & A. STREET RAILWAY LINE


I was a member of the Chamber of Commerce Committee that investigated the situation relative to the N. T. & A. Street Railway, and helped to draw the bill giving the Municipalities authority to buy and operate this road. As a member of that committee, I attended hearings at Boston before the Legis- lature and conferred with the Bureau of Statistics, and also attended the Committee meetings in Attleboro and Norton.


After the bill was passed, I attended over thirty conferences and hearings in helping to complete the transfer. In my report last year, I mentioned the problem of the Street Railway situation, and I am satisfied that the only way to save this road being discontinued has been taken. It is very likely that in a pioneer movement of this kind, errors will occur. I trust that the mis- takes have been kept to a minimum. Our City Clerk and Treasurer deserves much of the credit for the care taken in the details of the transfer. His know- ledge and experience have been invaluable in the matter and undoubtedly have helped us to avoid some mistakes.


SOUTH MAIN STREET


I interviewed the abutters concerning the widening of South Main Street, and made my report to you in writing.


ARMORY SEWER


Relative to the sewer connection with the State Armory, I have advised that the assessment as an abutter is allegal, but that the City should charge for rental for the use of the sewer. I tried without success to take the matter up with the Adiutant General's office, and therefore have advised that the Municipal Council fix the rental and that the bill be sent for same.


ATTLEBORO SANITARIUM


I attended two hearings at the State House and several conferences relative to the incorporation of the Attleboro Sanitarium. The company was able to satisfy the State Board of Charity that they were within the law and the au- thority has been granted to organize as a charitable corporation.


142


ANNUAL REPORT


CONTRACTS


I drew two contracts, one for the Health Department relative to the dis- posal of garbage, and one for the Fire Department relative to the installation of the new floor in the South Main street Fire Station.


OPINIONS


I have given several written opinions as well as verbal advice numerous times. I have advised with the City Collector, Health Department, Police Department, Poor Department, Forestry Department, Department of Weights & Measures, Assessors, Fence Viewers, City Clerk and Treasurer, and also several members of the Municipal Council.


In cooperation with the City Treasurer, we have so far saved the City the expense of buying apparatus for testing troy weights and measures; our posi- tion being that if these are required they should be furnished by the State, and we have heard nothing from the matter for about six months.


I have incurred expenses for supplies, car fares, postage, telephone charges, and Massachusetts Department Reports of $63.39


During the year my relations with all the departments of the City have been most cordial; all of the officials seeming to try to work together for the general good of the City.


I recommend the same appropriations for 1920 for salary and expenses as during the past year for this department.
