VALEDICTORY ADDRESS OF
HON. SAMUEL E. HILDRETH,
MAYOR OF THE CITY OF WORCESTER,
DELIVERED BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL, DECEMBER 31, 1883.
Gentlemen of the City Council :
This is the last time we shall meet in our official capacity as the City Council of Worcester; therefore, it is well, perhaps, to take a look at the past and revive in our thoughts some of the work of the year ; in some respects it has been one of great interest to the citizens and tax payers. The water supply has given our people cause for anxiety ; for several years past, owing to the unprecedented growth of the city, and the extremely dry season of last year, steps were taken, as you all know, to procure a larger supply. Early in this year the Water Com- mittee found it was necessary to at once proceed to the erection of the Holden dam and lay a line of pipe to convey the water to the city. They saw their duty and accepted the situation ; the result is, we have a storing capacity sufficient for a number of years to come all in complete order and ready for use at a cost of $223,574.34. There is yet to be arranged with the mill-owners the amount of damage for the taking of their water-rights and land, which will all be settled in due time. There has been $49,612.02 expended for the extending the pipes into other streets, and for the accommodation of consumers, thereby adding to our revenue for water.
The Sewer Committee have not been idle during the season, which has been uncommonly favorable for their work. The Pine Meadow sewer has been completed at an expense of $15,000; but, before we get the full benefit of this sewer, about $15,000

will need to be expended in order to drain the large swamp lying east of East Worcester, which your Committee have anticipated, and an appropriation has been made for that purpose, and the work will be commenced early in the spring. $25,000 has also been appropriated for the reconstruction of the bottom of Mill Brook sewer, preparatory to the covering of this sewer as far as Green street, which should be done as soon as practicable. The Cambridge street sewer has been pushed forward as fast as possible the present season, although the Superintendent has been somewhat delayed by water in the trench and some of the way by rock which has made it slow digging, yet the distance laid is much more than was anticipated in the spring, about 2,000 feet having been put in this season, and, by a wise foresight, an appropriation of $140,000 was made by this City Council by which the work is now being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, which will when completed relieve the people on the west side of the City. Besides these main sewers there has been a large number of smaller sewers laid in streets in different parts of the City at an expense all told of $71,786.70 ;- $70,000 of which will be funded.
The Streets have had the usual good care, and are in good condition ; the westerly end of Front street has been paved ; Portland and Prescott streets have been macadamized, together with a large amount of work on other streets by the Commissioner under the direction of the Committee, and they have done their work well. They have expended about $109,753.
We have built two new School-houses this year at an expense of $53,154.07 ; these will accommodate about 700 scholars, and, in order to keep pace with the increase of our population, it will require about this outlay each year. In my opinion there is no money spent, to greater advantage to all, than the appropriation for schools. The school department has cost this year $182,631.98, making a total for schools and school-houses of $235,786.05.
Our Police Department has never been in better condition than at the present time. There has been no complaint, of a serious nature, the past year against the force, and those that have been made have been of an ex parte nature, which upon

investigation have been made to gratify some personal revenge or some fancied injury which had no foundation. The Sub-station on Lamartine street has been paid for out of the appropriation of this year, at a cost of $11,506.87. The establishment of this station was considered somewhat of an experiment, but it has proved to be of great benefit to that section of the City.
All of the departments and their committees have done their duty faithfully and well, and have given each subject that has come before them careful consideration, and, so far as I am able to see, nothing but commendation can be said.
In conclusion, Gentlemen, let me tender to you all my thanks for the many manifestations of kindness and courtesy which you have shown me personally and the assistance you have given me in the performance of my duty, and your readiness to overlook short-comings and mistakes.
I shall always remember this City Council with the kindest of feelings.
