ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE -
RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES
OF THE
TOWN OF MILFORD,
CONTAINING REPORTS OF THE
Collector, Treasurer, Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor, School Committee, Engineers, Board of Health, Town Clerk, Park Commissioners, Trustees of the Town Library, and Trustees of Vernon Grove Cemetery,
For the Year ending February 14, 1887.
MILFORD, MASS .: G. M. BILLINGS, PRINTER, GAZETTE OFFICE. 1887.
TO THE TAX-PAYERS OF MILFORD.
As early as practicable we examined all accounts and presented our claims against the Town of Hopedale, hoping that all might be adjusted before the issue of our Annual Report, but owing to dif- ferences of opinion arising between the Selectmen of the two towns, the matter was referred to three commissioners, who shall be appointed by the Judge of Superior Court at Worcester.
Owing to this delay of settlement, and the fact that many of our departments include Hopedale's share, the appropriations may be exceeded; but in all cases we have tried to keep within the amount appropriated and carry out the wishes of the Town.
The suit of Timothy Shea vs. Town of Milford has been post- poned until August, on account of sickness of Architect Swasey.
Owing to reduced appropriations, and an increase of wages be- ing granted, it was not deemed best to run the crusher the past season, but instead we secured large quantities of "chips" from the quarries. We are also under obligations to Norcross Bros. for many loads of stone already prepared for crushing, which we have stored on land convenient to Main street. As our principal streets are badly in need of repair, we would recommend remov- ing the crusher, and stone already prepared on Hopkinton Road, after first patching said road, as in our judgment such is all that is needed, to a point convenient to the centre. Our Highway Department labors under many disadvantages on account of cus- toms and practices which have crept into it, owing to the de- mands made upon it directly by the Fire Department, especially during the winter months. We are obliged to keep in readiness, to answer alarms of fire, four horses and two drivers, and while we do not condemn this policy, still the expense should not be charged to a department deriving no benefit from it. An effort was made to reduce our force of horses and salaried drivers, cutting off what was thought an unnecessary addition to the Highway Department, but we found that the engineers were de- pending on the Town to furnish horses for the hose-carriages, and the matter was postponed. Some means should be devised where- by our annual appropriations would not thus be used up.
During the past year we tried the experiment of a paid patrol on Main street, and it proved satisfactory, and we would recom- mend the appointment of two patrolmen for duty during certain hours each evening, at a limited expense to the Town.
The Town appropriated a sum of money to build or enlarge the culvert at the " Basin," so called, but' after looking the premises over carefully we concluded not to expend the money, as the ca- pacity of the bridges and channel below Pond street bridge would not admit of any larger volume of water than the present culvert will allow to pass through.
We found it necessary to make many changes and improve- ments in Memorial Hall, owing to the unfinished state in which
3
it was left, but no appropriation was made for this purpose. We have secured the services of Henry B. Thayer as janitor for an- other year, as his services the past year proved him the man for the place.

REPORT OF TOWN CLERK.
The Town Clerk herewith presents his annual statement for the year 1886.
There were issued and recorded in the Clerk's office 46 liquor licenses, showing a large falling off in number from the previous year, when there were 66 issued. Received for licenses in 1886, $6,075, while in 1885 there was received $7,075. The division of the town may account for the falling off in this business.
There were issued 334 dog licenses, 297 males, 37 females: To- tal amount received for licenses, $779. Amount turned over to the County Treasurer, $712.20. The number licensed the pre- vious year (including Hopedale) was 338, with cash receipts of $778.
Your Clerk is prepared to issue licenses to dealers in " Oleo- margarine," and although the fee is only fifty cents for such license, only six dealers have secured one.
The marriage intention book shows 83 marriage certificates is- sued, being one more than issued the previous year. Ninety-two marriages were recorded during the year, of which 74 were "first" marriage by bride and groom; three were second marriages ; nine widowers took brides; three grooms took widows; two widowers, with a record of two marriages, took young brides, while a groom marked " fourth" marriage took a widowed bride. Marriages re- corded in 1885, 85.
The birth record shows a marked increase from 182 for 1885 to 225 for 1886, 113 being females and 112 males. Births occurring in January, 21; February, 13; March, 19; April, 10; May, 23; June, 16; July, 12; August, 22; September, 19; October, 22; November, 25; December, 23.
The death record shows a large decrease from the year 1885, when 211 were reported, while for 1886 only 164 are recorded. As in past years consumption claimed the largest number, and al- though many died of pneumonia and diphtheria, yet the two latter diseases were not as prevalent as the previous year. Of the num- ber reported 81 were females, 83 males. Ninety-nine bodies re- ported buried in Catholic Cemetery; the balance in the other town cemeteries and out of town.
There are 75 conveyances on the mortgage of personal property book against 105 the previous year, and 23 assignments of wages are recorded.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
LEWIS HAYDEN, Town Clerk.
