TOWN OFFICERS
OF THE
TOWN OF ARLINGTON,
For the Year ending Dec. 31st, 1870.
ALSO,
A LIST OF THE TOWN, COUNTY AND STATE TAXES, ASSESSED FOR THE YEAR 1870.
BOSTON: ARTHUR W. LOCKE & CO., PRINTERS, 120 MILK STREET. 1871.
REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
We, the undersigned, would here present to the Citizens of the Town brief Reports of our doings for the year Eighteen Hundred and Seventy.
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES.
Under our direction, Mr. Samuel E. Kimball has had supervision of the men employed to labor upon the High- ways, and we feel satisfied that he has been faithful in the discharge of his duty, and that the Town has been well- repaid, in that he has labored with and exercised that judgment in the management of the men, necessary to their profitable employment.
Early in the Spring, work was commenced on Appleton Street, which has long been in such a condition, that the residents, all of whom upon the highlands are farmers, have been obliged to unload their fertilizers at the junc- tion of the Main Avenue, thereby annoying the people living in the vicinity, and creating an extra expense of about the same as that caused in transporting it to the foot
4
REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
of the hill; the street has been widened, and at the points of greatest ascent cut to a gradual slope, thereby beauti- fying the same, rendering the lands adjacent of more value, and of easier access ; considering the extent of ter- ritory in the Town approachable only by this Avenue, we feel that the money has been judiciously expended in the completion of this work. The expense has been about twelve hundred dollars.
ARLINGTON AVENUE.
The Highway Surveyors of last year deemed it for the interest of the Town to procure a profile of this street for future reference in the permanent grading and repairs, and Messrs. Mason & Co., were employed to furnish the same; the plan having been adopted by the Selectmen, work was commenced at the Bridge, by removing the sur- face of the road bed and filling with crushed stone to the depth of from six to ten inches, and covering them with blue gravel ; one thousand feet of the street has been thus remodelled, and to which we would call your particular at- tention, that you may decide as to the feasibility of contin- uing the work another season ; in our judgment, a liberal appropriation should be made for this object ; the expense per rod will be diminished as the work progresses, by having a less distance to team the material. The amount expended thus far for labor and material has been about twenty-four hundred dollars.
SPRING PLACE.
This Avenue has been gravelled, and the gutters cleared, at an expense of one hundred and fifty dollars.
5
REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
WALNUT STREET.
This street, from the Main Avenue to the house of Mrs. Fanny R. Prentiss, has been graded and put in good con- dition, at an expense of three hundred dollars, which was one hundred dollars in excess of the appropriation.
MYSTIC STREET.
The new part of this street has needed more than ordi- nary repairs, owing, in part, to its being a new street, and to the nature of the material of which it is composed ; con- sidering its distance from the Town Pit, blue gravel was obtained of Mr. Stephen Symmes, and the street placed in good condition, at an expense of two hundred dollars. All other streets in the Town have been examined, and when the same were found necessary, thoroughly repaired, with the exception of our Main Avenue, which we are aware needs immediate attention; the large amount of travel, the width of the street, and the tendency of the blue gravel to blow from its face during the past season of unusual dryness, have made inroads upon its smooth sur- face, of which, in past years, the citizens have felt a pride, and have received the commendation of the travelling public.
THE NEW BRIDGE ON CHARLESTOWN STREET.
After examining several plans, with the estimated ex- pense of building by adopting either of them, and consul- tation with the Highway Surveyors of the town of Somer- ville, who were jointly interested in providing a durable structure that would permanently meet the wants of the Towns, we decided to construct a Granite Arched Bridge,
6
REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
to widen the street at the Bridge to forty-three feet, and to raise it two feet above the old grade. The contract was awarded to Bernard McCarroll, of Somerville, who was to complete the work for the sum of six thousand dollars ; the town of Somerville to pay thirty-eight and three-tenths per cent., and the Town of Arlington sixty- one and seven-tenths per cent. of the above amount. The work progressed under the supervision of Messrs. A. F. & N. N. Sargent, Engineers, of Malden. Twenty-six hun- dred dollars have been paid the Contractor on account, leaving a balance due him upon the final completion of the work of eleven hundred and two dollars, which, with the incidental expenses, will make about four thousand dollars as total expense. Appropriation, three thousand dollars. We would recommend for Highway expenses for next year fifteen thousand dollars.
STREET LAMPS.
This branch of our expense has been larger than usual, partially on account of the style of burners in use being easily injured, and not adapted for street lamps ; after careful enquiry as to the best burner, the Tufts' Governor has been substituted, which we are aware will better serve the public ; much glass has been maliciously broken in the Lanterns during the year, and a reward has been offered for the conviction of any persons thus destroying proper- ty necessarily thus exposed. Two new lamps have been added during the year - one on Academy street and one on the Main Avenue, corner of Avon Place.
The expense for the past year has been eleven hundred seventy-one dollars and thirty-one cents.
7
REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
Would recommend an appropriation of twelve hundred dollars for the next year.
GUIDE BOARDS.
During the year several new Guide Boards have been placed where required by law, and all Boards are in good condition.
THE POOR OF THE TOWN.
The poor at the Almshouse have been under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Flanders. Charles Swan, Samuel Russell, and Alfred Locke, have been supported at the House dur- ing the year ; Sarah Nason until the twenty-fifth of May, when she was removed by her friends ; Timothy Leary and wife were admitted in October, and will probably re- main. Eight persons have been temporarily provided for at the House. Expense for the year, two thousand one hundred and seven dollars ; of this amount five hundred and forty-six dollars should be deducted and added to the Highway expense for board of men employed on the Highways. One hundred and ninety-two travellers have been furnished with food and lodging.
We would recommend an appropriation of twenty-two hundred dollars for the coming year ; also, five hundred dollars for a new Shed and painting the exterior of the House, as it is for the interest of the Town that this be done the coming season.
POOR OUT OF THE ALMSHOUSE.
A few persons have been assisted residing in other towns who belonged in Arlington, and small quantities of groceries and fuel have been furnished the needy in this
8
REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
Town. Medical aid has also been procured when neces- sary. Four person have been sent to the State Almshouse in Tewksbury. Alanson Blanchard and Jerome Peirce are still at the Lunatic Hospital in Worcester. The expense for the year has been six hundred eighteen dollars and eighty-one cents. Of the above amount, one hundred and eighty-eight dollars and eighty-seven cents has been repaid to the Town by J. W. Peirce, guardian for Jerome Peirce, and ten dollars from the State for the burial of a State pauper, leaving four hundred and nineteen dollars and ninety-four cents, as the actual expense for the year. We would recommend an appropriation of seven hundred dollars for next year.
WILLIAM CUTTER SCHOOL FUND AND POOR WIDOWS' FUND.
As Trustees of the above Funds, we would state that on the seventh day of May last, Mr. A. P. Bucknam paid the principal of the William Cutter School Fund due from him of $500, and it has been loaned to the Town. We now hold the note of the Town of Arlington for the full amount of the Fund, $5,354.
Poor Widows' Fund. - Having received in April last a donation of $76.35 from the Committee of the Arlington Lecture Association, it was loaned to the Town; the fund is now invested in a note of the Town and two United States 5-20 Bonds of $100 each, making total Fund $575 .- 61, the income of which to January 1, 1871, has been distributed to six poor widows, giving to each $5.75.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Engine and Apparatus have been under the care of Abijah Frost ; three fires have occurred during the
9
REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
year; the house of Eber Hill, damaged $100; the house of Nathan Robbins, loss $3,000 ; insurance $1,500; the mill of Cyrus Cutter, loss $3,000 - no insurance ; Webb Bros., occupants of the mill, loss $5,000 ; insurance $2,- 500. At two of the above fires, we have received timely assistance from the Steam Fire Engine Co., No. 5, of Cambridge ; one hundred feet of new hose have been purchased, which makes 600 feet of hose in good order ; the house should be repaired and painted the coming sea- son, and an appropriation of five hundred dollars will be required for the department.
TOWN HOUSE.
An appropriation of $3,550 having been made for the purpose of remodelling the building, plans and specifica- tions were procured, and the contract awarded to James M. Chase and Jesse Bacon. As the work progressed, it was deemed advisable to make some necessary repairs and alterations not specified in the contract ; a new floor has been laid in the hall. new gas fixtures furnished, the pipes replaced by those of a larger size, an additional entrance made to the hall, and a platform erected in the northerly end, occupying room heretofore of but little value ; pleas- ant and commodious rooms are now provided for the Town officers, the Juvenile Library, and ante-rooms for use in connection with the Hall, for which there has been expended $701.99 more than appropriated.

REPORTS OF THE SELECTMEN.
Office, paying $125 a year. The exterior of the building is very much in need of a coat of oil, for which, with the necessary incidental expenses for the year, we would re- commend an appropriation of $800.
SAFE.
After careful enquiry, it was found that a Safe of pro- per strength and size could not be fitted up for the amount appropriated, and as it was deemed to be for the interest of the Town that nothing less should be procured, a sub- stantial and safe deposit for the funds and records of the Town has been provided and placed in the Selectmen's Room. The vault, with suitable doors and locks, was purchased of Charles E. Kershaw ; the mason work was done by Jesse Bacon, and the interior finished by James M. Chase. Expended in excess of the appropriation $300 and the old Safe.
MOUNT PLEASANT CEMETERY.
The loam has been removed from the main avenue, and the same gravelled from the gate to the Hearse house ; proper care has been taken in the trimming of trees and clearing the walks in the yard ; the money thus expended, with repairs on pump, and for tools, has been $71.50. Three lots have been sold for $85. Additional ground should at once be secured for the enlargement of this yard, or other grounds provided.
