STATE HIGHWAY.


The work upon the mile of State highway authorized to be constructed at Manomet has progressed satisfactorily, and at the date of the annual meeting it will probably be completed. The contract made by the Selectmen with the Highway Commissioners was a favorable one, and it is ex- pected that the Town will make a substantial sum from the construction of the highway. The Selectmen recommend that any balance from the construction be placed to the credit of the road department, and that they be authorized to extend the highway from the southerly terminus towards the church. If the disposition on the part of the Town is shown to contribute towards the construction of the high- way, it is possible that some satisfactory arrangement can be made with the Commissioners, and, at any rate, as both the crusher and the roller are upon the ground, and can now be obtained at a reduced price, it would seem desirable for the Town to avail itself of the opportunity and extend the work. It is probable that in a term of years the saving in repair will more than counterbalance any outlay which the Town would be required to make. A further extension of the highway under the direction of the Highway Com- missioners will depend, of course, upon the amount ap- propriated for such highway purposes by the present Legis- lature.


CONTINGENT.


The deficiency in this account is $1,529.66 and may be attributed mainly to the expense of $1,145.60 for fire in the


i t t 7 th an we

woods, and the expense of the Board of Health of $403.45, for which no special appropriation was made.


At the last election the Town chose as a Board of Health, four of the members elected to the Board of Selectmen. The fifth member of the Board of Health did not qualify, and the vacancy was filled by the appointment to the Board of the remaining member of the Board of Selectmen, so that the same members constituted each Board. The Board appointed Captain J. W. Hunting as their agent and Inspector, and Dr. E. D. Hill as the Physician. The ex- penses of the present Board were $328.45, as against $538.52 incurred by the preceding Board. The report of the Inspec- tor to the Board shows there have been 17 cases of diph- theria, 3 of which were fatal ; 10 cases of scarlet fever, and 7 of typhoid fever, one of which proved fatal. One item of the work of the Inspector was the inspection of 81 cesspools and vaults, and in all cases the directions of the Inspector were promptly complied with.


The Board recommend the same appropriation on the Contingent fund as last year, viz. : $4,000, and the further appropriation of $1,529.66 to meet the deficiency.


STICKNEY FUND.


The validity of the bequest by the late J. Henry Stickney to the trustees of the Stickney fund is still pending in the Court. The Selectmen are informed that it is expected that the matter will come up for final hearing at the April term of the Court at Baltimore, and, if so, a decision during the early Summer may be expected. If not heard then, the questions involved will be determined at the sitting of the Court held in October next. The Selectmen are advised that it is probable that the validity of the bequest, in which the Town is so much interested, will be sustained.

ACCEPTANCE OF THE ACT RELATIVE TO THE RESERVATION OF SPACES IN PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.


The Selectmen have inserted in the warrant for the meet- ing an article to see if the Town will accept Chapter 324 of the Acts of 1894 entitled, " An Act Relative to the Reserva- tion of Spaces in Public Ways."


Under this act, if accepted, the Selectmen would be authorized in laying out any street, townway or high- way, to reserve between the side lines thereof special spaces for the use of persons riding on horseback, for the use of street railways, for drains and sewers and electric wires, and for trees, grass and planting. It is probable that it would be found convenient in certain streets which may be hereafter laid out to provide special spaces in which all sewer and water pipes shall be laid, and if those streets are macadamized, these spaces would be located without the limits of the macadamized portion of the road. It would further enable the Selectmen, in laying out a street, to provide a location for a street railway, and a space between the railroad and the traveled portion of the street for trees or planting, by which the railroad would be taken out of the traveled portion of the street, and a great danger to public travel would thereby be avoided.


The acceptance of the act involves the Town in no ex- pense, and it is likely to prove of service.


BETTERMENTS.


The Selectmen have also inserted in the warrant an article to see if the Town will accept the first nine sections of Chapter 51 of the Public Statutes relating to betterments and other assessments on account of the cost of public im- provements.


23


Should the Town accept these provisions, the Select- men hereafter, if a way is laid out, may determine the value of any benefit and advantage to any real estate beyond the general advantage to all real estate in the Town, and may assess on such estate a proportional share of the expense of such laying out, alterations, grading or dis- continuance not exceeding one-half of the special benefit. It would seem that the only argument which would be necessary to impress upon the voters the importance of accepting those provisions of statute would be to call their attention to the numerous cases where ways have been laid out in the last few years within the Town of Plymouth and a considerable sum paid by the Town to land owners for damage to the land taken when the result showed that upon the completion of the road the value of the remaining land to the owner was much larger than the value of the entire lot prior to the construction of the highway, and the amount paid by the Town for damage seems to have been in the nature of a mere gratuity and to the cost of the work the owner has contributed nothing. There is scarcely a case of the laying out of a highway in the Town where too many, if not most of the land owners, affected by such laying out, the benefits to be derived therefrom in the increased value of their real estate is not at once apparent upon the com- pletion of the street ; and it seems entirely fair to require them to contribute somewhat to the cost of the public im- provement from which they are personally so greatly bene- fitted. There has been suggested in the course of the past few years a number of new streets where the improvement has been checked by the somewhat exorbitant claims of land owners, or by the expense of the improvement, and where, if the Selectmen had authority to assess betterments, the cost of the improvement would have been borne by the

at- of a-

24


parties whose property would be so materially benefitted by the construction of the street. The acceptance of these pro- visions would certainly lead, in many cases, to the protection of the community upon whom falls the burden of all public improvements, protecting it in part from exorbitant claims for damages by permitting the set off of betterments against · damages under Chap. 226 Acts of 1884 as well as by requir- ing the owners to pay the whole, or a part, of the expense of such improvements when their own estates are specially, immediately and largely benefitted by the construction of the streets petitioned for.


SEWERS.


During the past year the Selectmen have constructed sewers in Lincoln, Fremont, Spring, Market, Russell, South Russell, Oak, Court, Summer and Allerton streets. The total cost of such construction has been $6,471.09, and the Town has received from entry fees from persons enter- ing their particular drains into the main sewers of the Town the sum of $2,027.80. The Selectmen have not as- sumed any responsibility for the construction of the sewers contracted for by the Sewer Committee, or for the com- pletion of the work upon the iron outlet. Under the provisions of those contracts the work was to be completed under, and to be subject to, the approval of the Sewer Com- mittee; and it was thought, in view of those provisions, that it was desirable to permit the Committee to complete the work. They are now advised by letter of the Engineer in charge of the sewer construction, under date January 15, 1895, that the contractor has fulfilled his contract for work on the cast-iron outlet, and that the pipe is satisfactorily laid. Hereafter the care of the sewers, as laid, will fall upon the Selectmen, unless the Town otherwise orders.


25


The plan for the sewer construction prepared by the En- gineer was submitted to the State Board of Health, and the only change which that Board recommended was in the outlet-pipe. The recommendations of the Board were adopted, and the sewer has now been laid in accordance with its advice. If the entrance of sand into the main sewer can be avoided, as is anticipated, by placing solid covers along Water street and the construction of catch- basins upon certain streets, one source of great difficulty will be removed. The Selectmen are informed that it is probable the pipe outlet can be kept clear by flushing the sewer with South Pond water. Connection has been made with the outlet-pipe, so that that pipe can be easily flushed, and it is possible that one difficulty will hereafter be avoided. The Selectmen have labored under an embarrass- ment in keeping the sewers clean, in view of the fact that the use of water was limited by the Water Commissioners. It is a matter of regret, and surprise, that the water supply of the Town is so insufficient that the small amount neces- sary to flush the sewers, cannot be safely furnished, in the opinion of the Water Commissioners, in the daytime.


"FRANCIS LEBARON" FUND.


The will of Dr. Francis LeBaron, dated September 3, 1703, contained the following bequest :


"I give and bequeath to the poor of the Town of Plym- outh ninety acres of my land lying in said township of Middleborough, and of such of my land there as lyeth nearest to the township of Plymouth, to be for the use and benefit of the said poor forever."


The land devised by Dr. LeBaron, according to the pres- ent measurements, consists of a little over one hundred acres, lying in Carver, and forming a part of the "South


26


purchase," so-called. For many years the Town has derived no benefit from the land, and has been put to the annual expense of payment of taxes thereupon.


It is recommended by the Overseers of the Poor (and in that recommendation the Selectmen concur) that this land be sold by the Town, and the income of the proceeds annu- ally expended for the benefit of the poor. This disposition of the lot would seem to carry out more effectively, than any other, the wish of the donor, and to secure to the deserving poor an annual income, instead of being, as at present, a slight burden upon the Town. It has been thought im- practicable to distribute wood cut from that lot with any economy among the poor, and it is believed that many a deserving case could be relieved if the income of the pro- ceeds of such sale could be applied to that purpose. The Selectmen therefore recommend that legislative authority (if necessary to give a good title) be obtained, and that they be authorized to sell the land and permanently invest the proceeds of the sale as a fund, to be known as "The Francis LeBaron Fund," the income of which is to be applied to the relief of deserving poor outside the almshouse. The changes which one hundred and ninety years have brought, since the will of Dr. LeBaron was written, seem to make necessary, if the purpose and intent of the donor is to be carried out, that this land shall be sold, and that the poor shall receive the benefit which the donor intended from the income of the fund rather than from the wood upon the lot. An article to that effect is inserted in the warrant.
