I would suggest also, whether at the same time, appli- cation should not be made to the Legislature for some modification of the act of 1849, in relation to the Police Court. By the provision of that act, the surplus of fees is to be paid over to the County Treasurer, after the salary of the Justice and the fees of his associates are paid. The city is at considerable expense, frequently, in providing meals and board for prisoners in the lock-up, to say nothing of the rent of Court room, fuel, lights, &c. Justice to the city would seem to require, that no surplus of the fines, &c., should go over to the county, till the expenses, at least, which the city has been at, shall have been paid. I
have thought it my duty to bring this matter to your no- tice. It will be for you to say whether any action should be had in regard to it. It may also be necessary to inquire whether, in consequence of the act, making a change in the commencement of the municipal year, any other mod- ification will be required in the charter, or in the ordinan- ces, to conform their provisions to this change, thus made in the year.
Under the vigilant care of the police of the city, peace, quiet, and good order have prevailed in the city the past year. It may certainly be said to have been a year of un- usual quiet. But though there have been no open or high- handed outrages-though we have experienced a most merciful exemption from riot, and mob violence, crime has. not ceased. There have been committed to the watch- house, charged with drunkenness, since April 1, 1851, 295 Charged with larceny, - - 31

There have been complaints for a great variety of other offences, but it is unnecessary to go into any further detail. The whole number of complaints instituted since the 1st of April last, in the Police Court, has been 383 ; convicted 327. I have no doubt that open drunkenness is somewhat diminished, not from the fact that less liquor is sold, but from the fact that the venders are more cautious to whom they sell. The unlicensed vending, I regret to say, has not in my opinion diminished. A large business is still done in defiance of law.
The Police have done all that could perhaps be reason- ably expected or required of them; but the Police cannot close the shops, or put down the tippling-houses, with. the law, as it now is. Witnesses evade and equivocate,-they are bought off, spirited away, and of many who appear upon the stand, I only express the universal opinion, when I say that they commit wilful and deliberate perjury.
23
Some modification of the law seems imperatively to be called for. What that modification shall be, will be for the Legislature to determine. The present Law never was, and never can be, an efficient Law for the suppression of the liquor traffic. One thing I think I may say, in regard to this matter with safety, and that is, that unless such a law shall provide the means of acquiring some better evidence than that of the buyer, or than that of living witnesses, to establish the fact of sale, it will prove in the present state of the traffic, wholly unavailing, and no better than the present one. We cannot rely upon living witnesses to give the testimony sufficient to put down this traffic. Why should we not then, as in other cases, appeal to the tools,-the implements, and, if necessary, to the very liquor itself,-and get their response ? Why not produce and interrogate them ? I do not myself profess to be able to determine precisely all that such a law should contain. I am quite sure, however, that it should appeal to some additional, to some more certain, tests of truth, than those we now have under the present law.
The report from the Board of Overseers of the Poor, which will soon be made, will show how that department of the public service has been administered the past year.
Relief has been afforded to about 570 persons since the 1st of April last, of which about 500 were of foreign ori- gin. There have been admitted to the Almshouse 154 persons since April 1st. There were then there 28 per- sons, and there are 32 now there. The expenditure has been about the same as for the same period last year. The whole expense has been about $2200. The sum of $1600, part of this only, has been drawn from the Treasury during the present municipal year.
It has been suggested that in administering this trust,
24
the Board ought to furnish out-door relief, especially to paupers of foreign origin, more widely and more freely than they have been accustomed to do, and that a much larger expenditure ought to be made, particularly in win- ter, for the relief of those who are really in need, but who desire to remain outside the Almshouse.
It will be a matter worthy the consideration of the Coun- cil and the Board of Overseers, whether a more liberal policy in this respect is warranted or required. This mat- ter I have thought it my duty to bring to the notice of the City Government, because I know it is one which is excit- ing somewhat the attention of many of our most benevo- lent and charitable citizens, who contribute most cheerfully and most liberally for the relief of the poor.
During the past year, the city has made a purchase of a lot of about 50 acres, situated south of New Worcester, for a public cemetery, at a cost of $1855. In the opinion of competent judges, this lot is admirably adapted to the purpose for, which it is designed. It is neither too remote from, nor too near to, the city. Its surface is variegated
with hills and valleys. It is elevated above the New Wor- cester stream, which sweeps it upon the north. It is sus- ceptible of a high degree of embellishment. If it has not the advantage of trees appropriate to such a spot or of large growth there, it has a soil adapted to their production. If properly graded and embellished, it would furnish a beautiful spot for the resort of the living, and a resting- place for the dead. Surely the place where the dead re- pose, and where the fondest and most cherished recollec- tions of the living centre, should not be what we too often see,-places filled with objects of disgust, to be avoided,- almost to be abhorred.
It will not then, I trust, be deemed improper that some
25
moderate sum should be appropriated towards this object. There has been some expenditure there already, in grading of the grounds, removing the shrubs and small trees, and it was in contemplation to erect a receiving Tomb, during the fall, but the inclemency of the season prevented. It will be for you to determine how it shall be improved, and upon what terms and under what regulations lots may be had, and burials take place in it.
Our schools, justly the pride and glory of our city, have been, during the past year, prosperous and flourishing. The progress made in them, has been quite satisfactory. I need not enlarge upon the advantages of common schools. That their advantages are known and appreciated by our citizens, is sufficiently evinced by the most liberal and gen- erous support they have uniformly afforded them; and connected as the education of youth is, and is felt to be, with the happiness and prosperity of the individual, the community, the city, and the state, I cannot doubt that you will most cheerfully make the most liberal provisions for its support. For the training and proper culture and edu- cation of our youth, now numbering somewhat over 3100, a large expenditure is required. If a liberal expenditure is called for in anything, it is here. The Report of the School Committee will soon be before you, and in that will be found all the necessary details and information connec- ted with this subject.
Whether any additional school houses will be required to be constructed the present year, I am not able to say. If the public necessities should require it, I doubt not you will most cheerfully comply with such requirement. The school house at South Worcester may require to be re- paired,-perhaps enlarged or rebuilt.
There is another subject to which I desire to invoke the
26
attention of the City Council, which I deem of great im- portance. I allude to that of the establishment of the public Library. By an act passed at the last session of the Legislature, towns and cities were authorized to appro- priate money for the establishment of public libraries, with or without branches. The importance of such an in- stitution, to a community like ours, can hardly be over stated. As it respects the young men of our city, drawing them as it would, from places now too often frequented, where their morals are not unfrequently corrupted, and their tastes vitiated, we cannot estimate too highly the good and wholesome influences such an institution would bring to bear upon them. Whether connected with a reading room or not, such an institution would not fail to be.a blessing to all classes. Without, however, entering into a labored dis- cussion of the utility, the necessity, or the expediency of such an establishment, I beg leave to refer the council for a more full exposition of my views in regard to this sub- ject, to a report, which, as chairman of a committee of the last City Council, I had the honor to submit a few weeks since to that body, and which was by them referred to the present City Council. I most earnestly commend this matter to your favorable consideration.
There are other subjects which will require your atten- tion. Among these, are the straightening and widening of a portion of the channel of Mill brook, between Ex- change and Central streets,-the repair and amendment of Walnut street,-the repair and better security of the re- ceiving tomb, in the Pine meadow burial ground, which the sexton thinks demands immediate action,-the adop- tion of measures for the extension of sidewalks,-especially the providing of some accommodations in the shape of sidewalks, of gravel or other materials, upon the streets in
27
front of and near the two school houses on Summer street and Pleasant street, which the Superintendent pronounces almost impassable, on account of mud in the spring and the wet seasons of the year. In addition to these, I may not fail to call your attention to the numerous private streets throughout the city, kept open for public travel, for the defects in which the city is made liable, un- less the city shall by some sufficient means caution the public against entering such ways. In my opinion, some- thing should be done to relieve the city from this heavy lia- bility, and to promote, as far as may be, the public security.
At some period not very distant, I can but hope that the attention of our citizens will be attracted to the great ques- tions of water supply and the drainage of the city.
But before any action can be expected to be had by the City Government upon these subjects, their importance, their necessity, their bearing and relation to health, to economy, to comfort, must be thoroughly discussed and generally understood.
Projects of this kind require time for their maturity. Connected with this matter of water supply, are the sour- ces, the quantity, the quality, and the mode of supply. These must all become topics of familiar and public dis- cussion, before any measures will ever be adopted by the City Government for the accomplishment of this object ; . and the same is true in regard to the adoption of a thorough and effectual system of drainage. Until the public thor- oughly comprehend and feel its importance, its economy, its connection with the great interests of the public health, and its connections with and relations to the improvement of the agricultural and rural portions of our city,-until the unhealthful, I had almost said pestilential, effects of cess-pool drainage shall be understood and exposed,-and
28
this can be done only by diffusing information and by pub- lic discussion,-we shall in vain look for any adequate or proper action on the part of the City Government, calcu- lated to bring about so desirable a result.
These subjects are, however, more and more exciting, here and elsewhere, the public attention, and it is not too much to hope, that though the time for action in regard to them may be somewhat distant, the time for discussion is near at hand.
Gentlemen of the City Government,-I have thus called to your notice, some of the subjects which seemed to me to demand your attention.
Others to which I have not adverted, will undoubtedly arise in the course of the year, demanding municipal action. It will be for you to decide what the public interests may require, and to administer to them in such way as to you shall seem meet.
We are now to enter upon the duties of the year. These duties, to the discharge of which, we have been called by the suffrages of our fellow citizens, are neither few nor unimportant. Many of them are arduous and highly re- sponsible. The interests of the city are committed to our keeping, and to us appertains the administration of its affairs for the year on which we have entered. Let us, then, with what ability we may-with all fidelity-with a single eye to the public weal-address ourselves to the discharge of our respective duties.
The following table, though not perhaps entirely correct, will show, as nearly as I have been able to ascertain, the whole amount annually raised and expended by the town and city, by the Centre district and Aqueduct corporation, and by the outer districts, so far as I could find the assess- ments made by them, since 1837. I have also given some of the principal heads of expenditure. The amount expended for the erection of school houses on Walnut, Main, and Pleasant streets, were mostly paid for by loans, and are not included.
