Board of Selectmen, Middleboro, Mass.
Gentlemen ;-
Included in the duties of the Town Counsel from March, 1929 up to and including March 1930, there has been the usual amount of conferences, advice and consultation with the Town Manager, Town Treasurer, Department of Public Welfare, the Town Clerk and in some cases written opinions. Three prominent items stand out particularly during the year:
First is the case of Harvey C. Thomas v. Town of Mid- dleborough. In this case four notices were served on the Town for alleged defect on Centre Street. The plaintiffs in these cases against the Town were Harvey C. Thomas, Mrs. Charles S. Gove, Mrs. Isabelle Lagard and Mrs. Eliza- beth Thomas. After notices were served and after confer- ences with counsel for the plaintiffs, as counsel for the town I refused to advise settlement. Suit was brought and dam- ages placed at $4000. In the case of Harvey C. Thomas. This was a test case. Writ was returnable in Superior Court at Plymouth in May 1927. This case was on the trial list in Superior Court at various times until finally tried, re- quiring constant effort to keep track of the same so that the cases could be tried without default. Trial was finally arrived at, and required two full days, May 14th and 15th, in the Superior Court at Brockton. On May 17th judgment was entered for the defendant town. In the preparation of this case constant consultations with the Chief of Police and the Town Manager was required, and also keeping in touch with all witnesses who were of any importance in determining the liability of the town. This test case of Harvey C. Thomas being decided in favor of the town, the cases of Elizabeth Thomas, Isabelle Legard and Mrs. Charles S. Gove were abandoned. Would say that the least amount that I could have settled this case for was $2000.00.
The next case of importance is that of the Ideal Con- struction Co. against the town, requiring consultations as to construction of the contract, going over vouchers and pay- ments with the Town Manager, and on one occasion meeting
228
counsel for the Ideal Construction Co. in conference at my office as late as ten o'clock at night. Although the claims for extras in this case are from $700 to $800, after a complete examination and consultation of the same with counsel for the Ideal Construction Co., who was a very decent fellow, no action seems to have been taken in regard to the collection of the same.
The next cases were those of the aftermath of taking of lands for construction of high tension current. Settlements were made with everybody but Annie Otto and Deborah Place. These were petitions under the Statute for a jury to assess damages for the taking of easements and rights for a high tension wire. These petitions were filed in the Super- ior Court in June 1928. They were on the jury trial list for several times after that time. Realizing that the Otto case was one that might involve serious damage on account of the taking of land commonly called "front land" and plac- ing a pole with two guy wires, in the front yard, I concluded the same should be settled without reference to a jury and having obtained the settlement in the sum of $300., I am satisfied that the town is thereby saved some $700. as I am sure a jury would have assessed the damage in the sum of $1000.
The case of Deborah Place could not be settled for less than $1000. and I elected to go to trial. This case was tried two full days by an auditor sent out by the Superior Court sometime in the month of November last, resulting in a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for no more than the town offered her in the first place, this without costs.
Among other actions is the case of notice served on the town by one Alice L. Craig who stepped into a hole where an electric light pole had been removed. To this case I gave full investigation and am satisfied now that nothing further will come of it.
In conclusion will say that for the first time in my ex- perience of twenty-five years as counsel for the town, there is no case now pending against the town of Middleborough.
Yours very truly, N. WASHBURN, Town Counsel.
