SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Accounts.
During the last six months, the Treasurer's books have been kept by double entry. This change has many advan- tages over the old system. The trial balance, taken off at the end of each month, affords to a certain limit proof of accuracy in accounts, and shows at a glance how much of the various appropriations remain unexpended.
Guide Boards.
Several new guide boards have been placed in position. We would call the attention of citizens to the street signs on the Savings Bank Building; they are at once of novel and unique design, and the same as adopted by the city of Boston for all the streets in the burnt district.
Superintendence of Streets.
The care of the Alms House and general superintend- ence of the Highways for the past year, has been under the immediate charge of Mr. S. E. Kimball, whose watchfulness and interest in your behalf we cannot too highly commend. He has combined with his duties as Superintendent actual manual labor, thus inciting the men under his charge to faith- fulness in their work.
Sprinkling of Streets.
The town pays annually to the Board of Water Commis- sioners $1,000 for the use of street hydrants for fire purposes. We would recommend, in the appropriation for the next year, that the aforesaid sum shall also apply to water made use of for sprinkling the streets. The high winds prevailing during the summer and autumn months, often sweep away, in the space of twelve hours, more of the road bed than the town teams can replace in a week, to say nothing of the cost of the gravel, and teaming the same. To obviate this difficulty, two courses of action are suggested. With an expenditure of $700, the town can procure two water carts, and during those portions of the year, when our highways most need it, water the main

Avenue, using the town horses to perform the work, or your Board could contract with outside parties to keep certain streets sprinkled for the season, the abuttors sharing the expense with the town.

Tramps.
There is a floating class styled " tramps," which, from their increased and increasing numbers, present a question of no lit- tle financial importance to the town. The State law requires that towns shall make record of their names, age, sex, height, complexion, &c .; but of what utility this can be to the Town or State does not appear. The same tramp often applies for lodgings twice in a single month, but each time assuming a
20

different name, and, perchance, giving an age five or ten years younger or older than stated two weeks ago. The tramp path seems to lie between Lowell and Waltham. Out of five tramps soliciting lodgings for the night, early in the season, three were on their way from Waltham to Lowell, while the remaining two were on their way from Lowell to Waltham.
For the year ending July 1, 1874, upwards of four hundred and fifty tramps had been fed and lodged at our alms-house. The largest number provided for any single night, has been twelve. There are doubtless some, driven by want of work from place to place, who are really deserving charity from the towns through which they pass; but we are forced to the be- lief, that by far the greater number enter upon the life of tramps during the fall and winter months, as a systematized business. Certain it is, that your Board of Overseers of the Poor do not possess that keen insight into character which can draw the line between the really deserving and the pro- fessed vagrants. In certain respects, we are unfortunate in owning an alms-house. Our quiet sister town of Belmont, with no poor-house, escapes this deluge of tramps. We have consulted with the authorities of Belmont relative to this question, and have claimed that, in equity, they ought to assume, at least, one-third the cost of maintenance of all tramps received. They reply to this by saying, that all tramps applying to them for night quarters are given permits on our alms-house, for which they will pay the pro rata cost. This answer, though theoretically good, is practically of no account. During the present year, two permits only have been given by the Overseers at Belmont, and will any sane man contend, that, if Belmont supported an alms-house, she would lodge but two tramps per year, while this town has accommodated and borne the expense of more than five hundred ? We do not mention this subject having any special remedy to suggest. It is an important matter for future legislation. The lock-up, in the basement of the Town House, has but one available cell. It has been suggested, that, by fitting up four or five cells additional, we might quarter a certain number of tramps, in place of sending them to the alms-house. The culinary

inconveniences of preparing food under the Town House, while it would change decidedly the system of diet, might at the same time cause a decrease of applicants.
Coal.
The Selectmen were instructed, at the annual March meet- ing, to obtain estimates of coal consumed for town purposes during the year, and to contract for the same.
Early in June letters were sent to some of the principal dealers, inviting proposals for furnishing the town with coal for the year, based on the following estimates : -
Furnace coal
138 tons
Egg
69
Stove (Almshouse)
.
5
212 tons
It was stipulated that the coal should be of first quality, anthracite, and well screened. The Board reserving the right to weigh on the town scales any or all loads delivered, also the right to reject any and all proposals received.'
Messrs. Wellington & Hunnewell, Charlestown, forwarded the lowest estimate, and to them the contract was awarded, at the following scale of prices : -
Furnace coal
$7 65
Egg,
.

Miscellaneous Items.
In addition to work performed on specific streets, as enumer- ated herewith in detail, we have made general repairs on nearly all of the highways. Several culverts have been par- tially rebuilt and put in order. Sidewalks on the Avenue. Pleasant and Water Streets have been repaired, and the gut- ters cleared of the wash from the roads. Whether the town has made progress equal to the amount of appropriations

spent we leave for the citizens to decide, with the feeling, that no pains have been spared by your Board of Selectmen in the judicious expenditure of the town's funds, and to har- monize all those differences of opinion encountered at the very threshold of our official duties.
