Of far more importance to the city and in fact the most important matter this office had to deal with during the year were the appeals taken by the above cotton manufacturers from the assessments made upon them by the assessors for the year 1923. Full hearings were held in both cases, the former in Attleboro and the latter in Taunton and although it was shown by the coperate returns made by the petitioners to the State De- partment of Corporations and Taxation that the assessors were justified in making the assessments made by them, the Board of County Com- missioners in the exercise of their appellate and superior judgment, reduced the valuation in the case of the B. B. & R. Knight Company by $218,697.59 and in the case of Crown Manufacturing Company by $473,562.5S, or a net loss in taxes to the city of $21,602.11. The Commissioners no doubt feel that the cotton industry in the north is menaced by the progress it is making in the South with its abundant labor supply and short hawls of raw material and the prospect of cheaper power soon to be developed at the Muscle Shoals power plant. Decisions in these cases were rendered by the Commissioners on October 6 and December 5, respectively.
A. B. C. Street Railway Cases.
The derailment of the A. B. C. Street Railway car on June 20, 1924 gave rise to a number of claims for damages which were settled without litigation except in the case of minors in which friendly suits were entered in the Fourth District Court for the protection of the city in making the settlements. The claims paid were as follows :---
Grace F. Monnier $200.00 Howard Prew $75.00
Lavinia F. Briggs 43.50
Ethel Blatchford 25.00
Angelina Barrett 250.00

ANNUAL REPORT
.
William Ballendrella v. City of Attleboro.
This was a suit brought by a minor through his father and next friend against the city for injuries received through a collision with one of the city's autos. The question of liability was not clear. An amicable settle- ment, however, was effected by the insurance company.
Margaret L. Thomae v. Attleboro
A claim for damages resulting from a defect in Hodges Street, where repairs were being made, was presented to the city by Margaret L. Thomae who sustained a severe injury to her ankle through falling into an unlighted trench. This claim was adjusted without suit by the payment of three hundred eight dollars.
Washington Street and Newport Avenue Drain.
An arrangement for the drainage of these streets, for which negotia- tions had been pending for some years past, was finally effected during the year by which the State Department of Public Works laid the drain to the easterly line of Newport Avenue at the property of Caleb A. Orr. The city built the drain from this point, purchasing from Mr. Orr, at a cost of five hundred dollars, an easement through his land to discharge the water into a brook running into Seven Mile River.
The following cases against the city have been entered in court during the year and are still pending.
Margaret M. Jackson v. City of Attleboro.
This is a claim for injuries alleged to have been received by the plain- tiff by reason of the cap of a water shut-off projecting above the grade of the sidewalk on Pleasant Street. The city claims there was no defect.
Ellen Mc Vicar v. City of Attleboro. Malcolm Mc Vicar v. City of Attleboro.
These are cases brought by husband and wife for injuries alleged to have been received by the wife by reason of a manhole cover projecting above the grade of Park Street during the time the wires were being placed in conduits. The city claims that the responsibility, if any, rests with the company that was building the conduits.
The following cases are still pending in the Superior Court.
Ellen Loew v. City of Attleboro. William Loew v. City of Attleboro.
Two suits brought by husband and wife for damages arising from an alleged defect in the sidewalk on Park Street.
Simon Armstrong v. City of Attleboro. Emile Lauvier v. City of Attleboro.
Two suits for injuries due to a collision with an A. B. C. Street Railway car at Briggs Corner.
City of Boston v. City of Attleboro
This is a suit for the board of Delia Vallequette at a city hospital in Boston.

ANNUAL REPORT
Legislation.
The only legislation secured by the city from the General Court during the year was Chapter 286 of the Acts of 1924. This is an act making the present members of the electrical branch of the fire depart- ment eligible for pensions under the provisions of law relative to firemen in cities.
Additional Water Supply
The petition of the Mayor with an accompanying bill was filed with the Secretary of State, in December asking for legislation to provide for additional water supply for the city by taking water from Wading River, in the town of Mansfield, and other towns. This matter will come before the Legislature early next year.
Addition to Capron Park
A deed was drawn by which Solon D. Bushee conveyed to the City of Attleboro a strip of land for an entrance to Capron Park from Bushee Street, and also a parcel of land in the rear of his house including a pine grove which he donated to the city for the enlargement of the Park.
Water Supply for Adamsdale.
An agreement was drawn in which the city agreed to supply water into mains of the town of North Attleborough at the town line at Adams- dale in exchange for water to be delivered into the city's mains in North Avenue.
Interstate Deficit.
An agreement was drawn between the city and Zenas W. Bliss, Rec- eiver of the Interstate Consolidated Street Railway Company, in which to encourage the continued operation of that road, the city agreed to con- tribute a certain fixed sum toward paying the deficit in the cost of operat- tion, if any, until February 1, 1925.
Thacher Street Bridge.
An investigation of the circumstances under which the railroad bridge on Thacher Street was built, revealed that the Boston and Providence Railroad Corporation in the year 1885 petitioned the County Commis- sioners for a certificate that public necessity and convenience required the separation of the grades at this place and the Commissioners so found. No petition to the Superior Court to appoint commissioners to build the bridge and to determine who should maintain it, was made as required by law. The railroad company built the brigde and unti! quite recently have maintained it, but now refuse to do so longer. An effort will be made to force this obligation upon it.
Opinions, written and oral, have been given on a variety of subjects.
Respectfully submitted,

City Solicitor.

Sealer of Weights and Measures
December 27, 1924.
To the Honorable Mayor and Municipal Council; City of Attleboro, Mass.
GENTLEMEN :
I am submitting to you the annual report for the year 1924, of the Weights and Measures Department.
During this, my first year, my efforts were directed toward a thorough and complete inspection of all that comes within the Laws of this Depart- ment.
I found the merchants and so forth willing to cooperate in every way, it only being necessary to inform them of the law.
It was necessary to correct violations of the coal law where bags were being sold with but 18 lbs. of coal where the law requires 25 lbs. The law on the sale of Firewood has been somewhat misunderstood and considerable time was required to inform interested dealers so they might proceed along lawful lines.
