ANNUAL REPORT


LICENSE BOARD


Hon. Philip E. Brady, Mayor,


December 24th, 1920.


City of Attleboro, Mass.


Dear Sir:


The License Board of the city of Attleboro herewith present their annual report


Up to the present date there have been issued the following:


44 Sunday Licenses


18 Common Victuallers' Licenses


2 Inn Holders' Licenses


1 Sixth Class Liquor License


2 Third Class Motor Vehicle Licenses


3 Agents' Licenses Class 1


List of same enclosed.


A majority of the members feel that there should be a slight remuneration in the form of an increase in salaries, as much time is required to properly investigate applications. There are also small ex- penditures in car fares and auto expense, much of which the past year has been paid by the members of the board out of their own pockets. And we recommend that an appropriation of one hundred dollars be made. Seventy five of which to be used as salaries and the balance for sundry expenses.


Respectfully submitted,


WALTER L. GARDNER, SAMUEL I. TATRO, JAMES H. LEEDHAM, JR. Board of License Commissioners.

ANNUAL REPORT


CITY SOLICITOR


To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council:


I herewith submit my report as City Solicitor for the year 1920.


The duties of City Solicitor during the past year have been much the same as the year previous. I have a record of the following, 126 conferences, advice 48 times, 62 miscellaneous matters, 14 letters writ- ten on various matters, 2 titles examined, 2 appearances in Court, 4 claims settled, 10 contracts, deeds and other papers drawn, 3 contracts examined, 2 bills collected, 3 views of property relative to accidents, 2 ordinances examined, 3 interpretations of the City charter, 5 answers filed to suits in Court; once that I have had to make an extended search of the law, and 7 trips to Boston on City business appearing at hearings before the Department of Public Utilities, 4 written opinions. There have been some matters that I have no record of, besides I have attended the meetings of the Department heads several times.


Court Cases


Simpson Case-The Simpson Case is still pending. I practically prepared for trial on this case in September, but it was not reached.


State Case-Suit brought by the Treasurer and Receiver-General for board of Olivine Gagnon has never been brought to trial.


Fisher Case-The Fisher case is still pending.


Reed Case-The action brought by the former City Solicitor in Rhode Island for taxes, has been decided adverse to the City.


Collum Case-A suit was brought by Wallace Collum in April for injuries alleged to have been received on Bishop Street. I have ap- peared and answered in this case and it is still pending.


Smith & Dexter Case-Appearance and answer has been filed in the case of Smith & Dexter on a petition for a jury to assess damages caused by an alleged taking of land for highway purposes and is still pending.


Nellie A. Cooper Case-Is a case similar to the Smith & Dexter case and is still pending.


Joseph F. Fuller Case & Herbert Linkletter Case-These are both cases of petition for review of assessment by a jury. They have both been answered and are still pending.


Avadis Zahigian Case-This is a petition for a jury to assess dam- ages for an alleged taking of land which has been answered and is still pending.


From the above it may be seen that while the work of this depart- ment has not been especially arduous during the past year, it is quite likely that the Solicitor will be kept fairly busy during the coming year in the trial of cases, and it appears to me that the promise of work will bring the average up fairly well.


The expenses of this department for supplies, car fares, postage, telephone charges, etc. have been $51.87.


During the year my relations with all the departments of the City have been, as usual, most cordial.


I recommend the same appropriations for 1921 for salary and ex- penses as during the past year for this department.


Respectfully submitted,


RALPH C. ESTES, City Solicitor.

On account of the many jewelry factories in the City, the Troy equipment should be added to the department and a special appropria- tion made for the same.


Complaints have been promptly investigated, and one prosecuted in Court, for which a fine of $45.00 was paid.


I recommend the appropriation of $1,500.00 for the year 1921.


Respectfully submitted,


HUGH GAFFNEY, Sealer of Weights and Measures.
