Report of Tree Warden
To the Board of Selectmen :
I set out twenty trees the last year.
I cut down two trees that were killed by gas.
There were two bad leaks on Market street that killed six large elms and there are two or three more that look as if they would die.
I recommend an appropriation of $300 for the ensuing year.
Respecfully submitted,

Report of Park Committee
Pursuant to instruction contained in an article regularly passed at a special town meeting held in June, 1915, the fol- lowing brief report is offered.
An auxiliary committee of three, acting in conjunction with the regularly elected Park Commissioners, have con- ducted inquiries looking to the location of desirable park sites. Of a number of areas under observation, the one the committee appeared least inclined to eliminate from consid- eration was the land of the C. L. Rice estate off North Un- ion street. It is ample in acreage and has many points of natural attractiveness which commend it as a pleasure ground.
The committee recommends it as a desirable location for for park purposes, but is unable to recommend its purchase. Were the town disposed to consider its purchase, the com- mittee believes the ownership of the Handel Poole land which adjoins it on the Union street front would be re- quired. Lands belonging to Daniel Ryan adjoin it on the North avenue side.
The committee recommends that the town cause to be made, a joint appraisal of the value of lands in question. This appraisal should be made by representatives of the in- terested-the town being one of same-choosing a disinter- ested member; the group so composed to render to the town an estimate of the values in question which might prove to be impartial.

TOWN OF ROCKLAND
The committee considers it unfeasible to advocate the purchase of any land now regarded as desirable, on the ground that the cost is prohibitive. We fear our people in their desire for a park have not yet risen to that pitch of en- thusiasm required for an acceptance of the figures requested by holders of desirable lands. We believe that any agita- tion which might necessitate a request for expending large public funds for pleasure purposes would be merely consutn- ing the time of the town to no purpose. A public park is undoubtedly a desirable institution in any progressive com- munity, but circumstances prevalent in Rockland at present make it unwise to recommend burdening our people with large outlays of money.

Report of Committee to Repair High School
At the annual meeting the town voted to repair the High school and appropriated the sum of $2,500 for that purpose.
The town also voted that these repairs should be done under the direction of the committee who had charge of the building of the school That committee was James W. Spence, Frank A. Sheldon, Thomas F. Kelley, C. B. Col- lins, Alfred W. Donovan, D. M. O'Brien.
The main trouble was due to the sagging of the two upper floors and as a result leaky roofs. These floors were held in place by a large roof truss. An examination showed that the wooden truss had shrunk, the bolts and rods sup- porting had become loose and as a result the sagging. After a most careful consideration the committee decided to put in place a steel girder and change the support of the two up- per floors from the roof truss to the steel one which gave support by means of proper angle irons from the foundation of the building. These angle irons rest upon a foundation of cement four foot square and built into the ground five feet deep.
It was also found that as the plastic slate roof was some- what damaged it was good economy to put on new gravel roofs. The hall was retinted.

Report of Committee on Remodelling of the Lockup and Heating of the Fire Station
At the annual meeting of the town in 1914 a committee of five was chosen to look into the needs of the town as re -: gards the building of a new fire station, and a new police station. The town elected as that committee, H. G. Perry, J. W. Spence, J. S. Smith, T. J. Murrill and D. M. O'Brien.
Among the recommendations of this committee read at the last annual meeting was that of placing a new heating plant in the present fire station, and the remodelling of the lockup so as to meet the requirements. The town voted to place a new heating plant in the fire station and to remodel the lockup so as to meet the requirements. The appropria- tion for the heating plant was four hundred ($400) dollars and for the lockup was eight hundred and fifty ($850) dollars. This same committee was authorized to do the work. Herbert G. Perry was chairman of the committee and D. M. O'Brien secretary.
It was deemed best by the committee to place the heating plant for the fire station in the basement of the library as it ought to be outside the engine house and there was very little room to place it on the station house land. On the other hand the basement of the library was an excellent place to place it at a very small cost. There was a chimney al- ready built and the distance between the two buildings was a little over 30 feet. The library trustees were asked to
187
TOWN OF ROCKLAND
consent to this, and as some of them had objections, and as a special town meeting was to be called, the committee waited and had an article inserted in the warrant asking for this authority. The town voted to do this.
Bids for doing the work were asked and Hall & Torrey was the lowest. Their bid was four hundred and twenty- five ($425) dollars. Two ($2) dollars was paid to Cough- lan Brothers for advice.
The cost of the work was :
Hall & Torrey, as per contract
$425 00
Coughlan Bros., advice 2 00
Total
$427 00

REMODELLING OF THE LOCKUP.
The most important work of the committee was that of remodelling of the lockup. The representative of the State Board of Health time and time again insisted that our lock- up conditions were against all health rules and said that we must make the necessary changes to make the lockup con- form to proper up-to-date ventilation and sanitary stand- ards.
It was found that the floors where the cells were could not be used and that in fact all floors were not fit to place the steel cages on. It was therefore necessary to build a new concrete floor. The whole plant was rewired. The ceiling was replastered entirely and where the cells were the dampness had pealed the paint off the walls. It was' necessary to give all the walls two coats of paint. The
188
FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
heater had to be placed outside the main building and police office also. The committee found that the school commit- tee were about to sell the outbuildings that had been used at the School Street school. We asked for the largest but as the school committee had advertised it for public bids, they decided to give it to us at the highest bid. The bid was $30. Later on we found that we did not have money enough and so nothing was paid. The heater used was the one removed from the fire station. The work of remodel- ling was slow as we had to wait a long time for the cells, and when they came the workmen were busy and we had to wait for them.
The police office is well adapted for our needs for many years. Besides having an office, a small room was petition- ed off which can be used, when properly equipped, as an em- ergency room where persons injured in accidents can be taken for treatment. .
As completed the town now has a clean cell room with five steel cages, town water for use, a toilet for the prison- ers with sanitary plumbing, a police room with wash bowl and toilet for the officers and the emergency room. There is also a store room for the wood and coal. All is heated by a steam plant located between the buildings. Careful at- tention ought to be paid to keeping it absolutely clean.
The committee exceeded the appropriation as conditions appeared that could not be foreseen. They feel that the town has got, at a low cost, police accommodations that will answer for a long time and besides save $120 yearly rental.

Report of Highway Surveyor
· The use of road oil during the past season seems to have given great satisfaction to the residents. We have tried a number of different kinds, to determine, if possible which is the cheapest and best for the town to use.
I would suggest that the application of the oils be made this year a little later in the season.
I would recommend that no new concrete work be laid this year, but that the entire appropriation be expended in repairing the old concrete.
As the stone crusher has been in use for twelve years, and experts consider the life of a crusher, to obtain good results, to be about three years it may be necessary to pur- chase a new Crusher.
The expense for repairs to the crusher this year has been about $900 and repairs to the road roller $123.
Many of the road fences have been repaired and some new ones built during the year.
As we now have a good many feet of macadam road to care for I recommend that a separate appropriation be made for the purchase of road oils, and that the town raise and appropriate the sum of $4000 for the repairs of highways.
The equipment of the road department consists of I stone crusher, I steam roller, I sprinkler, I oil wagon, 3 road scrapers, I brush, 2 tar kettles, 8 stone forks, 3 sledge ham- mers, 3 crow bars, wrenches, hammers, etc., 8 screens, 2} doz. steel road brooms, I heater roller, I stone roller, I wheel barrow, I scale, 2 road plows, and 23 snow plows.

Highway Surveyor.
Report of Committee on Macadam Pavement of Streets
The committee inet soon after the town meeting and or- ganized with Herbert G. Perry as chairman and James A. Cody as clerk.
We considered all the articles in the warrant that were referred to the committee.
It was decided to complete the building of Union Street to the Weymouth town line and Webster Street to the Han- over town line. In considering the building of Union Street we took up article 57 of the warrant which was re- ferred to the committee. The chairman and clerk were se- lected to consult with the Highway Commission and ask for an allottment under the "Small Town Act" to help in the building of said street, after two visits to the office of the Commission we were successful in securing an allot- ment of $2,000 instead of $1,000.
A proper contract was drawn and signed by the select- men, the contract called for the rebuilding of part of the Macadam already laid and the repairing and use of a road biner the entire length of Union street from North avenue to the Weymouth line, the work was done under the super- vision of the Highway Surveyor and it has been approved · by the Highway Commission, the Town Treasurer has re- ceived a check for the allotted mount.
Before work began under the contract with the Highway Commission that part of the work that called for a patching
.

FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
and re-oiling had been completed and the cost charged to the highway department.
In view of this fact and that the Surveyor had already spent upwards of $3,000 for road oils your committee agreed to limit their expenditures to approximately $14,000 in order that the overdraft in the highway department might be offset by a balance in the amount entrusted to this committee.
Specifications for all of the Macadam work were sub- mitted to, and approved by the Massachusetts Highway Commission.
With the exception of Bigelow Avenue the committee were unanimous in the selection of the streets that should be macadamized.
A full detailed statement of the expense of building each parcel of road will be found under the report of the High way Department.
We append a short summary of the work done by the committee and the cost :
Union Street rebuilt and widened to 18 feet 1930 feet Union Street repaired and resurfaced with tar- binder 3600 feet
Union Street, new construction 18 feet wide 3370 feet
Total 8,900 feet, cost of work $6,986.34
Webster Street 1,700 feet at a cost of $2,493.96

Gentlemen :- I herewith submit my report as Superinten- dent and Water Registrar for 1915.
There have been six leaks in the past year; three joints on force main, and three services.
In the past year 49 meters have been installed making a total of 79 metered services.
In 1915 we pumped 43, 450,000 gallons less than 1914 but due to break in water cylinder on Barr Pump we have run the Worthington since October 13, and therefore have not made a corresponding saving in coal.
Received for water rates $887 57
Due for water rates $50 20
Received for installing services and
meters $436 05
Due for installing services and meters I16 64
Respectfully submitted
WILLIAM S. PERHAM.
Superintendent and Water Registrar.
