ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES


OF THE


TOWN OF MILFORD,


CONTAINING REPORTS OF THE


Collector, Treasurer, Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor, School Com- mittee, Engineers, Board of Health, Town Clerk, Park Com- missioners, Trustees of the Town Library, Trustees of Vernon Grove Cemetery, and Com- missioners in Milford-Hopedale Settlement,


For the Year Ending February 17, 1888.


MILFORD, MASS .: G. H. BILLINGS, PRINTER, GAZETTE OFFICE. 1888.


TO THE TAX-PAYERS OF MILFORD.


In consideration of the fact that some of the appropriations have been exceeded during the current year, the Selectmen deem it only right that the citizens should know where and how the extra money has been expended ; and as a preface to this re- port we wish to state some of the improvements made and extra expense incurred. In the first place came the settlement with Hopedale on the division of the town. After meeting the com- missioners two or three times, a settlement was completed which we think was a satisfactory one, Hopedale paying Milford 15 per cent. of the whole town debt, amounting in round numbers to $18,436.95. Now in regard to appropriations : There was no pro- vision for making the improvements in Memorial Hall Square, none for moving the hose house and making necessary repairs, and none for paying land damage to abutters in said square. Town bonds coming due this year have been paid amounting to $25,000, or $6,563.05 more than the amount paid Milford by Hopedale. The amount of expense incurred by making the alter- ations in Memorial Square and paying damages amounts to $7,496.29. One suit for damages has cost the town $1,112.95; other cases settled on account of defective highways, $1,265.65 ; total, $2,378.60. Cost of trying Shea cases, $325.50, making total amount paid for damages (for which there was no appropriation), $2704.10. We wish to state that out of seven cases which have been settled this year, all but one of them were carried over from last year and left to the present board of Selectmen to settle, which has been done to the best of their ability, and there is at present no case of any kind against the town, that we know of. "


The Highway Department is under obligation to Norcross Bros. for several thousand loads of stone, which have been crushed and put on the streets of the town. In regard to the stone crusher, we wish to say a word. In a perusal of the expen- ditures in the Selectmen's report, it will be seen that it has cost quite a large sum of money to keep the old crusher in repair, and we would earnestly recommend that the town purchase one of the improved make. It is our opinion that the town would save the price of a new one in two years, as crushed stone is the only material which we can get for our roads, the gravel pits in the vicinity being practically exhausted. In the matter of ma- king arrangements with the Fire Department, so as not to inter- fere with the Highway Department in regard to furnishing


3


horses, no satisfactory arrangement has as yet been made, as we were unable to find horses that were suitable for the steamer ; consequently we were obliged to furnish one pair of horses and driver at the expense of the Highway Department the past year. We have contracted for horses for hose carriages, and the plan has proved to a certain extent satisfactory.


During the past year we have had two men nightly acting as street patrol, their services ending Jan. 1, 1888. Two men were also appointed for East Main street, many tax-payers in that vicinity making complaints and requesting us to make the appointments which was done, the men being on duty two nights in the week (Saturday and Sunday). This was an additional ex- pense to the town and we would recommend that some provision be made in the future to meet such expense, as it is our opinion that a street patrol is necessary. In conclusion there is one mat- ter about which we wish to make a statement, that is concerning repairs on Lawrence street. At the March meeting held in 1887, it was voted to appropriate $500 for repairs on said street; the amount expended to date is $275.42. The reason that the full amount was not expended is that we found it impossible to com- plete the repairs on account of not being able to procure gravel, without which we could not complete the work in a satisfactory manner.

REPORT OF COMMISSIONERS.


COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.


WORCESTER, SS. THE TOWN OF HOPEDALE VS. THE TOWN OF MILFORD).


SUPERIOR COURT.


The undersigned, who were upon the application of said Town of Hopedale appointed commissioners by a decree of the Superior Court for the County of Worcester, entered on the twenty-sixth day of Feb. 1887, (as appears by a duly attested copy thereof issued to us and which is herewith returned,) to de- termine under Section 5, Chap. 126 of the Acts of the Legisla- ture of 1886, the amount of the net public debt of said Town of Milford which said Town of Hopedale is to assume under said section, submit the following report of their doings thereunder.


The Commissioners met at Boston June 25th, A. D. 1887, and appointed the twelfth day of July, then next, at the Court House in Boston, in the County of Suffolk, at ten o'clock in the fore- noon, as the time and place to hear all parties interested in the subject matter of said decree, and issued notice thereof in writing to be duly served upon each of said towns, and which was duly served, as appears by said notice and the return thereon herewith transmitted.


At the time and place appointed in said notice the Commis- sioners met the several parties, who appeared and were represent- ed as follows, the Town of Hopedale being represented by Thomas G. Kent, Esq., and the Town of Milford by William Gaston and Henry E. Fales, Esquires. There were also present several of the public officers of each town. The Town of Milford filed its claim, or what the counsel termed its declaration, in writing be- fore the Commissioners, and subsequently upon request the Town of Hopedale filed its answer thereto, presenting its claim so far as it was then able to do so, both of which are herewith transmit- ted. Subsequent meetings were held by adjournment on the 20th and 22nd days of July, 1887, on which latter day the parties filed with the Commissioners a written agreement which is also here- with returned.


And now having fully heard the parties, and duly considered their evidence, admissions and arguments, we, the said Commis-


5


sioners, do award and determine in respect of the matters submit- ted to us, by virtue of said decree of the Court substantially in accordance with the agreement of the parties above referred to, as follows :-


1. That the Town of Hopedale shall assume fifteen per cent of the bonds of the Town of Milford outstanding at the date of the division, to wit,-


Coupon bonds for the sum of forty thousand dollars ($40,000), bearing date Nov. 1, 1878, bearing interest at the rate of five per cent per annum.


Coupon bonds for the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), bearing date Aug. 10, 1867, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum.


Coupon bonds for the sum of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000), bearing date Aug. 10, 1867, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent per annum.


That said bonds shall be paid at maturity in the proportion of eighty-five per cent by the Town of Milford and fifteen per cent by the Town of Hopedale.


That all the interest on said bonds due at the time of the di- vision and accruing thereafter up to the time of maturity of the several bonds, shall be paid in the same proportion, and if either party shall pay more than its share of the same, said excess may be recovered by it of the other party in an action of contract.


2. That the Town of Hopedale shall assume fifteen per cent of five promissory notes, as follows :-


A note of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), dated Oct. 30, 1883. A note of five thousand dollars ($5,000), dated Jan. 6, 1886.


A note of five thousand dollars ($5,000), dated Feb. 11, 1886. A note of five thousand dollars ($5,000), dated March 5, 1886.


A note of five thousand dollars ($5,000), dated March 27, 1886.


All payable to the order of the Milford Savings Bank.


That said Town of Hopedale shall also assume fifteen per cent of all the interest due on said notes at the time of the divi- sion, and of all the interest that has accrued thereon to this date, and fifteen per cent of any interest that may accrue until said Town of Hopedale shall offer to pay its share of said notes. And that the Town of Milford shall assume and pay eighty-five per cent of said indebtedness of said notes and interest as aforesaid ; and if either party shall pay more than its share of the same as aforesaid, said excess may be recovered by it of the other party in an action of contract.


3. That said Town of Hopedale shall assume and pay to the Town of Milford, as a part of its debt due at the time of the di- vision, fifteen per cent of the sum of twenty-six hundred and thirty-seven dollars due for incidental and current expenses in full therefor, and fifteen per cent of the damages awarded and to be paid in settlement of damages for taking land for Memorial


6


Square, so called, the whole amount of said damages not to ex- ceed sixty five hundred dollars ($6,500).


4. That the Town of Milford shall pay to the Town of Hopedale the sum of one hundred dollars ($100), deposited with the Treasurer of the Town of Milford by Sarah Whipple, in her life time, for the care of her lot in the cemetery, and that the Town of Hopedale shall give to the representatives of said Sarah Whipple its certificate for the due use of said money upon the surrender to said Town of Milford of its note or obligation for the same sum and purpose, and this shall be in final settlement of the claim of the Town of Milford in relation to the seven ceme- tery notes named in its claim.


The foregoing were all the claims insisted on by the Town of Milford against the Town of Hopedale in this settlement of in- debtedness.


And in further pursuance of the agreement of the parties for the purposes of this settlement, we do also award and determine-


5. That in partial payment of said indebtedness as stated above, the following sums shall be deducted from the whole amount of the town debt as cash assets, viz :-


Cash in treasury at time of division, $3,971 26


Cash in hands of State Treasurer, for State aid, 4,459 50


Cash in hands of State Treasurer, for Military aid, 1,023 00


Balance of rent of Lockup and Town House, 50 00


Uncollected taxes,


1,258 71


6. That in the settlement of the personal assets between the two towns, the Town of Milford shall pay to the Town of Hope- dale the liquidated sum of eleven hundred and thirty-six dollars ($1,136.00), in adjustment of the claim of the Town of Hopedale for said personal assets.


And we further award and determine that the costs of this hearing and the fees and expenses of the Commissioners shall be borne equally by the two towns.

TOWN CLERK'S REPORT.


In presenting this annual report, I desire to call attention to the condition of the records and different matters in relation to the office which have come to my notice during the year. As soon as possible after assuming the duties of the office, I located in the Town House, believing that the office should be so situated as to be of easy access to the town vault, where a large portion of the records are kept, and for which, as I found during the year, frequent calls are made by citizens seeking information concern- ing town affairs. It was then thought best that the former custom of leaving the keys in the Selectmen's room, and allowing those who sought any information from the records in the: vault to enter the same, (which resulted in the confusion and disorder that now exists therein,) should be abolished, and the keys placed in the hands of the clerk, where by application they could be ob- tained, and if any record was desired, it could be furnished and replaced in its proper position by him. This change, while it entails extra work, has been of great assistance to those citizens who used the records, and insured the safety of the same by reducing the liability to loss.


During the past year it was made evident, owing to the several law suits in which the town was engaged, and for which different records were needed, that some system should be adopt- ed for the filing of records in the vault, and I would recommend that the same receive a thorough overhauling and that a cabinet of drawers be constructed in which could be placed, in order as to years, the bills, orders, communications, etc., of each year, all being finally indexed in a book so that any information desired could be readily and easily found, instead of the necessary delay now consequent upon its disordered condition. It was with sur- prise that I learned, in looking over the Record of Highways (a book in which the laying out of the town ways are recorded), and by consultation with a civil engineer who has surveyed sev- eral of our streets, that the records are very indefinite, and in case of certain streets, there are at present no bounds because of the removal of buildings and fences which in former times were used as bounds. Therefore, in order to have accurate records and bounds, it will be necessary in the near future to make a general survey of the streets.


There were issued and recorded in the Clerk's office 62 liquor licenses, showing an increase over the previous year, when 46 were issued. Received for licenses in 1887, $7,616.50, while in 1886, $6,075 was received.
