The elm tree leaf beetle did not make its appearance in this Town the past season.


Now that we have the greater part of our main street laid out, the abutting land owners should be careful in cutting their forest land not to cut trees in the highway, as these are trees we shall wish to reserve as shade trees.


As Forester I would say that the Road Commissioners should keep our roadside trimmed out for the better protection from forest fires. There has been a number of miles cut out the past season and I hope we shall see the work completed the present year.


It is recommended by the agent of the State Board of For-


-38


estry that the Forester and Fire Wardens hold a meeting in the Town Hall each spring for devising ways for the better protection of our forests.

FRANCHISE GIVEN THE PLYMOUTH, CARVER & WAREHAM STREET RAILWAY CO.


Commonwealth of Massachusetts.


Town of Carver, Selectmen's Office.


In the matter of the petition of the directors of the Plymouth, Carver & Wareham Street Railway Company, dated July 2Ist, 1902, praying that said company may be granted a location in said Carver, with such turnouts, curves and switches as may be needed, together with the necessary poles, wires and other fixtures for the purpose of operating by electricity or other motive power except steam, from the Carver-Wareham to the Carver-Plymouth line, over the "New Road," so-called, Cherry Street, Rochester Road, Plympton Road, and Plymouth Road.


Said petition having been duly published and hearing having been held on the same, according to law, said Selectmen are of the opinion that public necessity and convenience require the granting of said location and said company is hereby granted an original location in said Carver, over and upon the following ways or highways :-


Beginning at Carver-Wareham line, thence over the Ware- ham road leading from Tremont to South Carver, to Cherry Street, thence over Cherry Street, so-called, to the Rochester- Plymouth road, so-called, thence over said Rochester-Plymouth road to the Plympton-Wareham road, so-called, thence over the Plympton-Wareham road to the road leading to Plymouth by way of Wenham, thence over the said Plymouth road to the Carver and Plymouth line. This grant of location is made expressly under and subject to the following terms, conditions and restrictions, which said board deems that the interests of the public require, to wit :-


I. The rails to be used by said company shall be of the pattern known as the "T" rail, weighing not less than sixty pounds to the yard, and the space between said rails shall be fitted to a level to the top of said rails with such material and


-41-


in such manner as the Board of Selectmen may designate. In all matters of construction the work done and material fur- nished shall also be in accordance with the requirements of the Board of Railroad Commissioners.


2. The motive power to be used upon said track shall be electricity, used and applied by the system known as the over- head trolley, or such other power as the Selectmen may from time to time authorize. To guard against the effect of elec- trolysis the said company shall provide such connections for the return of the electric current and such form of bonding of rails as shall be satisfactory to the Selectmen, and said company shall provide such further precautions and make such changes and modifications as they may direct from time to time.


3. If, in the judgment of said Board of Selectmen, any street or highway on which said location is granted, is, on account of narrowness or want of straightness, unsuitable to afford safe and convenient passage both for public travel and for the cars of said company, and if said company is unable to obtain the necessary land to remedy these defects by purchase from abutters, said company shall, before entering upon said street or highway for the purpose of laying said tracks and erecting poles or other fixtures, request said Board of Select- men to petition the County Commissioners to widen, straighten and locate anew said highway or street, and said company shall assume and pay all expenses that may result from any widen- ing, straightening or locating anew under such petition, includ- ing both land damages and the expense of construction.


4. The said company shall keep the streets in a safe and convenient condition for travel while laying the railway, and shall save the Town harmless from all loss, cost and damage resulting from failure to do so, and shall leave the streets in a good, safe condition, and to the satisfaction of the Superin- tendent of Streets.


5. All poles, brackets, wires and fixtures shall be main- tained by said company at all times in good order and repair, to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Streets, and suit-


·


-42-


able guard wires and all work connected with wires shall be erected and maintained to the satisfaction and under the direc- tion of the Superintendent of Streets.


6. At all points where the stringing of feed, trolley or guard wires shall in any way interfere with the bridges, brackets or other appliances used in the operation and maintenance of electric street lights, police signal and telephone and fire alarm telegraph, such changes as may be required in their location or height shall be done under the direction of the Selectmen, and the expense of such change shall be paid by the company.


7. If in the construction of said street railway, it shall be necessary to remove or relocate any poles belonging to any other company, the said Plymouth, Carver & Wareham Street Railway Company shall remove and relocate said poles at its own expense, under the direction and approval of the Superin- tendent of Streets.


8. No shade trees shall be cut, trimmed, lapped, or other- wise touched or used by said company unless and until the approval in writing of the Tree Warden shall first be obtained, and such work shall be done by or under his direction, if he so desires, all expense thereof to be paid by said company.


9. The said company shall be responsible to and remunerate the Town for any and all loss, cost and damage of every name and nature sustained by it on account of and in any wise grow- ing out of the location, construction and maintenance of said street railway.


10. All damages occasioned to property by reason of any change of grade, specific, general repairs, working to grade and other changes of any sort, in the streets and portions of streets, made or rendered necessary to be made by reason of the location and construction of said tracks, shall be paid directly to the property owner so damaged by said company, and it shall reimburse said town for all expense, loss, cost and damage it may be occasioned thereby, immediately on demand, and in the event of failure so to do the same shall be recovered in an action of contract.


-43-


II. Whenever surface water may collect or be obstructed by occasion of the constructions of said company under this order, means for its disposal, whether by catch basins, drains, or otherwise, shall be provided as the Superintendent of Streets may direct, by and at the expense of said company, and as a part of the constructions hereunder.


12. If in the construction of said tracks it shall become nec- essary in the judgment of the Selectmen to widen the wrought part or to change the grade or work, to grade or to make gen- eral or specific repairs upon the whole or any portion of said streets, such work as they may direct shall be done at the expense of said company, and in case said company shall fail to do such work the same may be done by the Town and the expense collected of said company in an action of contract.


13. Whenever the tracks are located upon the side of the street, said company at such street crossings, and at such private crossings of abutting owners as the Selectmen may from time to time, designate, pave, plank, macadam, or fill with such other material as the Selectmen may direct, the space between the rails and for eighteen inches outside each rail, and said company shall at all times keep such paving, planking, macadam or other filling in good and safe repair and condition, and shall reimburse the Town for all cost, expense or damage it may be put to on account of the want of repairs of the same.


14. Said company shall remove the snow from such por- tions of streets as tracks are located in by this decree. including snow thrown up by ploughs or other appliances for cleaning the tracks, to the acceptance of and as may be directed by the Superintendent of Streets, except that where said tracks may be located upon the side of said streets, and outside the trav- elled part thereof, said company shall only be required to remove the snow from said street within its location in such way as may, in the judgment of said Superintendent of Streets, in no way interfere with the safe and convenient use of said streets.


-44-


15. The Town shall not be responsible to the company for any damage that may be occasioned by the bursting of water and sewer pipes, building or repairing the same, nor the fall of any poles or wires erected or permitted to be erected, nor by the damages occasioned by repairs of streets or any other use of the streets which it makes or permits to be made.


16. The Town, through its proper officers, and upon writ- ten order of the Chairman of Selectmen or Superintendent of Streets, for the purpose of repairing, constructing, or extend- ing its highways, its water, sewer, or other system of municipal works, and in case of fire along the line of this location, may take up and obstruct the tracks and cut the wire of said com- pany without being under any liability to said company, and if said company's wires or tracks shall be broken, cut or taken up from any cause connected with the work being performed by the Town and any of its officers and authorized agents, they shall be replaced by said company at its own expense.


17. The words "Superintendent of Streets" shall be held to mean road commissioners or other officers having charge of the ways in question.


18. The ties used by said company shall be in respect to size, quality and distance from each other when laid, be subject to the approval of the Board of Selectmen and Board of Rail- road Commissioners, and all the poles shall be straight, round chestnut poles.


19. Said company shall file with the Selectmen before the doing of any work under the authority of this order, plans of all tracks, turnouts, switches, poles, structures, pole locations and constructions of said company. proposed under the author- ity hereof, within the limits of the streets, in such form and detail as the Selectmen may require and in writing approve.


20. Said company shall assume and pay all expenses pro- perly incurred by the Town of Carver in connection with this grant of location, including council fees, necessary travelling, advertising, and other expenses, and shall also pay reasonable charges for supervision during construction.


-45-


21. In case any other company. person or persons, desire to use the poles of said street railway company for the erection or maintenance of wires for any purpose, such use may be allowed by said street railway company, provided such use is approved by the Board of Selectmen and Board of Railroad Commissioners.


22. All the foregoing conditions shall bind said company and any other company and companies who may acquire and use said location, whether by lease, foreclosure and sale, whether by direct purchase or contract, or under and through receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or any other order of court or otherwise.
