The past year has proven beyond a doubt the economy of our request this year for a small car for inspection purposes. As we have traveled 7,000 miles the past year, we certainly could, according to good authority, have saved at least $100.00 on Auto Maintenance, if small car had been purchased. It seems to me this is worth saving.
The matter of new switchboards is very urgent, as the property in the area lying between the following streets has been without fire alarm protection all night long twice in the last two years, owing to lack of switchboard equipment; namely, County, corner of Wall, to Thacher, thence to Linden, to Lonicut, to Lamb, to So. Main, to East, to Union Streets.
I think you will agree with me that we are tempting fate if we allow this condition to exist, when we consider for a moment that in this area is included the Bigney Bldgs., the High School, Wolfenden's Dye House, Tiffany School, Mossberg Co., together with the residences, the value of which is enormous, when for $5,000 the same can be remedied.

CITY SOLICITOR
December 31, 1923.
To the Honorable, the Mayor, and the Municipal Council of the City of Attleboro :
I herewith submit my report as City Solicitor for the year 1923.
The year 1923 has been singularly free from litigation involving the city. But two suits have been brought against the city during the year.
Lewis S. Chilson et al v. Mayor, Municipal Council and City Collector of Attleboro.
This is the only suit of importance in which the city is the defendant. It is a petition for a writ of certiorari brought by Lewis S. Chilson and twelve other property owners to test the validity of a special assessment made upon their property in connection with the purchase of the stock and bonds of the Norton, Taunton and Attleboro Street Railway.
The case came on to be heard before the Supreme Judicial Court at Boston by Mr. Justice Crosby, who reserved the case upon the petition, answer and agreed statement of facts for determination of the full court.
It was argued before the full bench at the October, 1923, sitting at Taunton. Decision has not been rendered.
William Ballendrella p. p. a. v. City of Attleboro.
This was a friendly suit brought in the Fourth District Court of Bristol by a minor through his father and next friend for injuries received from a collision with one of the city's trucks. An amicable settlement was arrived at by the Insurance Company and the plaintiff.
A number of cases pending at the close of last year have been settled.
Frank A. Cummings v. Municipal Council of the City of Attleboro.
This was a petition for a writ of certiorari to test the validity of a special assessment on the property of the petitioner made by the Muni- cipal Council, under the provisions of the Act authorizing the purchase of the A. B. C. Street Railway.
The hearing was held at the November, 1921, sitting of the Supreme Judicial Court before Mr. Justice Jenney, who made an order July 11, 1922, dismissing the petition.
Exceptions were filed by the petitioner, but no further action having been taken thereon, Mr. Justice Pierce, on April 17, 1923, upon motion, ordered the bill of exceptions to be dismissed for lack of prosecution, thus definitely terminating the suit.
The cases of Joseph F. Fuller vs. City of Attleboro, and Herbert Linkletter vs. City of Attleboro, both petitions for a jury to revise
200
ANNUAL REPORT
assessments made in connection with the purchase of the A. B. C. Street Railway, will probably follow the disposition of Cummings v. Municipal Council of Attleboro.
Avadis G. Zahigian et al Partners vs. City of Attleboro.
This was a petition for a jury to assess damages to the property of the petitioners for land taken at the corner of Park and Pine Streets for highway purposes.
Under the authority of a vote of the Municipal Council, this case was settled upon the payment to the petitioners of the sum of eleven hundred dollars.
Timothy O'Neil vs. City of Attleboro.
This was a suit for damages caused by a defect in Park Street, where an obstruction was carelessly allowed to remain in the street at the time it was being resurfaced in 1921.
This case also was settled under authority of a vote of the Munici- pal Council, upon the payment to the plaintiff of the sum of seven hun- dred fifty dollars.
Treasurer and Receiver General vs. City of Attleboro.
This was a suit brought for the board of Olivene Gagnon, and was settled January 23, 1923.
The remaining cases listed in the report of the City Solicitor at the close of last year remain in statuquo. Some of them very likely will be reached for trial at the March term of the Superior Court the coming year.
The only suit begun in which the city is the plaintiff is City of Attle- boro vs. F. D. Hall Manufacturing Company, Incorporated, in which Electric Chain Company is summoned as Trustee. This is a suit to enforce payment of a tax assessed upon the person's property of the principal defendant in the year 1922, and is now pending in the Fourth District Court of Bristol.
The ordinary routine matters of the office, conferences, consulta- tions, opinions, verbal and written, examination of contracts, drafting of deeds and releases in cases settled by vote of the Municipal Council, attendance upon hearings in the city and in Boston, have been taken up as they were presented.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP E. BRADY,
City Solicitor.

The appropriation for transportation in this department is entirely inadequate, it being impossible to efficiently do the work on the appro- priation. I felt it my duty to resign. Every department in the city government is amply provided for but the Department of Weights and Measures.
In retiring from office, I wish to thank the merchants, and especially the owners of gasoline pumps, for their co-operation in giving the public honest weight and measure.
