Workingmen's Compensation Insurance ;- We have had but two cases of injury reported during the year, that came under the provisions of this Act. One of these was in the Street and one in the Gypsy Moth Department. Neither of them were serious and the only cost to the In- " surance company was for the attending physician. We be- lieve in insuring under this Act however, as it makes a fixed charge and avoids law suits, or a possible large amount of compensation at one time.
Insurance-Dwelling house insurance has been reduced from what it was when the new schedule of the New Eng- land Insurance Exchange went into effect. At this time Mr. Amos A. Phelps and the Chairman of the Board, vis- ited the Exchange to request that Rockland be advanced in their schedule from class C risk to class B. After several visits to their office and considerable correspond- ence, the desired result was accomplished, additional points being credited to the Town by their having accepted the Fire Prevention Act, the metering of the water system, and the improved condition of the streets. The advance from class C to class B means a saving to the Policy holders in the aggregate, of approximately $3,500 on five year pol- icies.
Park Street :- The condition on this street is deplorable, and numerous complaints have been received from citizens in regard to it. This condition was brought about by the
42
FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
Selectmen and Board of Health trying to help remedy a bad condition at the head of the street, and we hereby pub- lish the letter giving permission for the line of pipes in the street.
Rockland, June 3d, 1912.
Mr. A. W. Perry,
Rockland, Mass.,
Dear Sir :
The Board of Selectmen have voted to grant your re- quest to open Park St., to lay a line of tile pipe from the Phoenix Block to land of Thomas Fox, for the purpose of taking care of sewage.
You are to assume all responsibility for any damage that may arise from the same, and leave the street in as good a condition as you find it.
The Selectmen reserve the right to cause their removal at any time if in their judgment conditions should arise that may make it seem necessary.
Yours very truly,
Selectmen of Rockland.
Since the condition become so bad, it has been a problem to know just what to do. The Selectmen and Board of Health have had several meetings with parties directly in- terested in the matter, and have tried a number of different remedies. If the nuisance is not abated, the pipes will be removed from the street.
Howard, Stanton and Everett Street Drain :- Complaints have been received from residents of Howard and Stanton streets about the condition of their land; also the smell caused by the flowage over land in that vicinity. They de- manded that it be stopped and threatened to block up the drain.
43
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
The Selectmen and Board of Health acting together, in- vestigated as to the rights of the town to the use of what we supposed was a water course, and found that a number of years ago the town had closed the water course at this point for some private interests, and in consideration of this they received verbal permission to flow surface water over the land in question until such time as said land should be developed.
The property is now developed and believing that the res- idents were justified in their demands, the matter was pre- sented to the town at a special meeting, but owing to their being less than three hundred voters present, no appropri- ation could be made and the article was passed over.
Realizing that something must be done, the Board con- sidered it an extraordinary case, and went ahead with the work without any appropriation, it being understood that the Board of Health would bear one-half of the expense up to one thousand dollars. The expenses in detail are published in the financial report of the Selectmen.
Franklin Avenue Drain :- This drain was stopped up and water overflowed Church Street. Thinking it was a condition caused by a pipe of the Gas company, we caused the Highway Surveyor to open the street at that point. The drain was found to be almost closed with debris, and it was necessary to open it the entire length of Franklin Avenue.
The drains here were laid by private parties before the street was built. This one is a stone drain, about half the distance it is covered with large capstones, Many of these had to be removed making the work slow and costly. Once the drain was opened, it seemed to us to be economy to complete the work at this time. As the money in the Highway Department was expended, we finished the work without any appropriaion.
44
FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
Sidewalks :- Many of the concrete walks are in bad con- dition and should be repaired thoroughly before any new work is laid. We recommend that no more concrete be laid on Union Street, between North Avenue and Lane's cor- ner, but that the town encourage the building of grano- lithic walks in this section; that the town build a grano- lithic sidewalk in front of the Memorial Library and the Engine House, and that some method other than concreting be used for building walks in outside districts.
Highways :- There are now a number of miles of ma- cadam road in town that must be taken care of. We rec- ommend that a separate appropriation be made for the pur- chase of some kind of a road binder.
Some work that should have been done by this depart- ment had to be left undone, as the money gave out rather unexpectedly, owing to the amount of the Street Railway and Excise Tax being less than last year. The returns on both of these taxes are credited to the Highway Depart- ment. The Excise Tax was about fifty dollars less than last year, the Street Railway Tax is received from the State Treasurer on or about Nov. 15 of each year, and it has been the custom to figure this tax the same as the previous year. This year it was five hundred dollars less than last year.
Street Lighting :--. The general plan of lighting remains the same as last year. We have caused four lights in the business district to be so arranged that they will be on all night. One at Poole's Corner, one at Webster Street, one at Church Street and one at Union Square. During the year fourteen thirty-two candle power incandescent lights have been installed. There are now three hundred and sixty-three of these lights, eight eighty candle power: twelve arc lights and fifteen of the Bay State Railway lights. We recommend that at street corners, where needed
45
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
a light similar to those on South Union street be installed in such a manner over the streets that better results may be had in lighting.
Street Signs :- A new and larger sign has been placed at the junction of Union and Market streets, many of the other signs painted and repaired. We recommend that more suitable signs be placed at the head of Webster street and at the entrances to the town.
Moth Department :- The Board recommends that all pri- vate work done by this department be done as town work, and bills for the work be paid to the Town Treasurer, and that the Selectmen arrange a system for doing the work.
Grade Crossings :-- The petition before the Superior court, asking for a commission to consider the abolition of all grade crossings in town, remains the same as last year. We have not tried to force this case, as in the opinion of Council, the time was not favorable for such action by the court, or a commission, as to cause these crossings to be abolished.
Transfer Privileges :- The decision of the Public Service Commission on this matter is published in full. Their de- cision was received after the Board had voted not to accept the same proposition from the Railway officials.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
July 13, 1915.
Petition of the Selectmen of Rockland for the extension of transfer privileges on the Bay State Street Railway in that town :
On the above petition a public hearing was given, and a conference was subsequently held between the Commission, representatives of the Town of Rockland and officials of the Bay State Street Railway Company. The fare on the
46
FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
Bay State street railway for passengers boarding a car within the town limits of Rockland is five cents, good on all iines in the town. The regular fare from the center of Rockland to any part of Brockton, or vice versa, is ten cents, with a workingmen's ticket, good during certain hours of the morning and evening, for seven cents. The petition asks for an extension of the fare limits in the town of Rockland by the installation of a transfer which would allow passengers boarding a car in any part of Rock- land to ride to Brockton, or vice versa, for ten cents.
It was claimed by the petitioners that many people re- side in Rockland. on lines of the Bay State street railway, beyond the limit of the ten-cent fare; that many of these are regularly employed in Brockton and that in order to get the benefit of the present seven-cent workingmen's tic- ket or the regular ten-cent fare to Brockton they are com- pelled to walk some distance to the center, or to pay an additional five-cent fare.
Without attempting in this case to go into a careful an- alysis of the financial or other conditions of the company, the Commission from its general knowledge of the situation does not feel warranted in ordering the extension of this fare limit; but as a result of the hearing and the conference above mentioned, with the various parties, the street rail- way company has consented, pending a proposed applica- tion for a general revision of fares, to extend the privileges of the present seven-cent workingmen's ticket between Rockland and Brockton to all parts of Rockland.
For the Commission,
(Signed) ANDREW A. HIGHLANDS,
Secretary ..

Increase of Fares :- The Board has been represented by some member at all of the hearings in regard to the pro- posed increase of fares on the Street Railway, as there are ninety-one municipalities interested in the case, it appears to us, that some united action should be taken, but as the cities and towns had no money for this purpose it seemed impossible to get such action. The Public Service Com- mission has an appropriation at their disposal to pay for the investigation of the company's condition so that they may determine if the increase in fares is necessary. The hear- ings will be resumed about the first of February; the Board will be represented at the hearings and endeavor to guard the interests of the people of Rockland.
We have endeavored in this report to show the correct standing of each department by publishing what bills were outstanding, that we knew of, Jan. I, and the amounts that were paid of the previous year from the 1915 appro- priations. In the Highway Department bills to the amount of $1,299.II, contracted in 1914, have been paid this year, this includes the bill $630 shown as unpaid in last year's report; $71,78 for granolithic work done in 1912; Forest Fires, $105.20; Police Department, $103.10; Memorial Library, $74.17; Board of Health, $65.80 and a few small bills in the Gypsy Moth and Fire Departments. These bills were received after the books had closed last year; some of them in January, some February, March and April; some even later. In view of these facts we recom- mend that the Selectmen establish for all departments, for which they draw orders, a system of duplicating orders, for work or merchandise, one of which should be handed into the Town Office, so that the Selectmen might know each month, what bills are outstanding.
We have requested all the differnt town departments to take an itemized inventory of all tools, materials, etc., on hand January 1, 1916, and these will be found printed in connection with the proper departmental report.

FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
In approving bills for materials, etc., we have provided rubber stamps for each departmental head for whom we draw orders, as per illustration herewith, which seems to work out very well.

We have insisted on all bills and payrolls being approved by the head of the department contracting same, and the first of each month have sent a statement to the head of each town department, showing just the balance of his ap- propriation remaining then unspent.
We have done our utmost to keep all expenditures within the appropriations; but owing to the construction of the Stanton street drain, and the repairs to the Franklin ave- nue drain (for which there was no appropriation, ) the pur- chase of new hose for the Fire Department, which the Rockland Factory fire showed was absolutely needed, dam- age cases against the town which we have settled, and the excess appropriation for the Poor Department, over which we have no control, we find it necessary to call for an ap- propriation of $1,750 to take care of the overdrafts of 1915.
In each of the above cases, the Board has voted that these were extraordinary expenditures; and while we regret very much that this appropriation should be called for, it was absolutely impossible to avoid it.
We also append a few comparative statistics compiled from town reports of previous years, which we think should prove interesting and instructive as regards changes in conditions since early days of the incorporation of the town. We have also analyzed the tax rate, and endeavored to show just what proportion of every dollar of the town's taxes are spent for the different departments, etc.
