ANNUAL REPORT.
-OF THE
TOWN OFFICERS
-OF THE-
TOWN OF DUXBURY
-FOR THE- -
YEAR ENDING MARCH 15th,
1885.00 Calendar Year 1884
Annual Town Meeting, April 6th.
PLYMOUTH : AVERY & DOTEN, BOOK AND JOB PRINTERS. 1885.
REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN. -
The Selectmen, Assessors and Overseers of the Poor herewith respectfully submit their annual report of the receipts and expenditures for the past year, and the financial condition. of the Town, March 15th, 1885.
Several of the different departments, noticeably that of the highways, as will be seen by the itemized accounts, have ex- ceeded the appropriations by quite an amount, which makes the aggregate expenses exceed the appropriation by about $750.00, which excess was caused by the transferring, by a vote of the Town, from the appropriation for incidental expenses $2,000.00, to the Railroad Sinking Fund. Had this not been done, as will be readily seen, there would have been a balance on the side of appropriations of $1,250.00.
Different causes, which, as we are confident are already un- derstood by the Town, we will not take space to enumerate, have contributed to the excess of appropriations for highways referred to above, and while there has been, as we think, a de- cided improvement in our roads the last few years, yet there is a call for much more to make them safe and convenient for public travel, and to save extensive repairs and alterations by order of Commissioners. Being forced to this conclusion, your Selectmen would recommend to the Town either to increase the appropriation or adopt a different method for the repairs of the
4
same. Leaving the Town to decide which, if cither, of these plans they will adopt, we have left the sum recommended the same as last year.
As will be seen by an article in the warran4, the Town will be called upon to act on a claim of $250.00, for alleged damage on highway near William E. Weston's. How far the Town is accountable for said damage can be determined by hearing statements of the claimaint, Mr. Isaac Symmes, and others interested.
The bridge near Henry T. Whiting's having last Spring com- menced to fall in, this necessitated rebuilding. Capt. Benjamin G. Cahoon, the managing partner of the firm engaged in the cranberry culture in that vicinity, wishing to be personally sat- isfied that a durable structure was put there, offered to rebuild at his own expense, and leave his reimbursement at the option of the Town, at the annual meeting. He has put in a first class durable stone bridge at a cost of $575.00, for which he asks the Town to reimburse him one half the expense. This being in our estimation a very moderate claim, we think they should be willing to pay it. This amount, if voted, would call for no sep- arate appropriation but could be taken from that of incidental expenses, for which the Bank and Corporation tax has usually been appropriated.
The Town having had an order of notice from the County Commissioners to widen and make specific repairs on road from Rufus B. Dorr's to the Marshfield line, the Town will be called to act upon the same at the annual meeting. The cost of this, if the Town vote to build, also can be taken from inciden- tal account.
There being no place to house the new road machine, the Selectmen have taken the liberty to remodel and repair the old "mad house" at the poor farm which has made a good roomy tool house where are stored the road machine, roller, tools, &c.
5
The cost was $72.36, account of which will be found in state- ment of incidental expenses.
As Assessors, we felt it our imperative duty the past year, although calling for quite an outlay, to take a thorough real estate inventory, which has not been done for a long time before, if ever. This as the event proved, as will be seen by glancing to Assessors' statistics, was highly advantageous to the Town at large, and while some mistakes were undoubtedly made, not pretending to be experts in the valuation of real estate, still we are egotistical enough to believe that the valua- tion of the Town is now nearer correct than ever before, and the labor of future Assessors made easier.
As Overseers of the Poor we have been called upon the past year for a large sum of money for outside aid. This we have distributed according to our best judgment and have been as economical as possible under the circumstances without causing suffering. The affairs at the Almshouse have continued under the charge of Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, who sustain their usual good management, and we think much credit is due them for the good order and cleanliness of the house, and their consider- ate care of the inmates. Thinking it to be advantageous to the Town, we have hired the keeper's horse to draw kelp for dress- ing the land and wood for house, which will account for the principal part of his bill for team hire in Overseers' account.
The following is an account in detail of the several different departments ;
