town. The district lines may be largely changed without affecting the relative size of school districts as measured by the number of pupils. Nor can the establishment of new schools in the East District afford a permanent relief. It must be conceded that the substantial growth of the town is in the Centre District, and that the probabilities of in- crease in the schools there must direct the settlement of the question referred to. The Committee are satisfied that in looking to the present exigency, and to the need of a future not remote, there should be a school-house, containing four rooms, erected in the Centre District. The full schools could then be divided, without changing the present ar- rangement of classes, into separate schools, the first class remaining in the old, the second becoming a new school. It must be remembered that such a building would accom- modate not only the Centre, but the East District also, for the older scholars ; and the preference of the citizens of the latter district to send their children to the Centre schools has been too often expressed to leave any doubt as to their wish or judgment in this matter.
Should the town take this view of the question, then an appropriation will be required for the purchase of land and the erection of a school-house.
An examination of the accounts of the School Committee will show that they have exceeded the appropriation for the support of schools. The town will not fail to see that a very few items of unusual, but necessary expenditure, will account for the excess. An increase has been made in the salaries of some of the teachers, which is also to be consid- cred as a matter of increased expense.
The Committee forbear to mention any complaint in re- gard to the schools which may have been brought to them. Their rule has been to consider respectfully any suggestions which their townsmen may make, and to apply the necessary correction wherever the defects may exist. Matters entire- ly within the official discretion of the Committee are at- tended to without any unnecessary publicity. The Com-

mittee especially avoid comment upon the teachers, either favorable or otherwise. The responsibility of securing good teachers they always recognize, and in appointing or retaining them they endeavor to act with entire justice to all concerned.
The past action of the town' sufficiently shows that by the most liberal encouragement it desires to establish and sup- port the best public schools that its means will admit of. The Committee, therefore, leave the schools in the hands of their fellow-citizens, confident that such measures will be adopted with reference to them as a due regard for the great interests of education may require.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
In presenting our Annual Report, we show a large aggre- gate for Highway Expenses. Whether the Town has got value received or not, we leave it to the judgment of its inhabitants. This expense has been divided as follows :- Special and General Highway Appropriations. Included in the former is
WINTER STREET,
Which has been widened to forty feet, graded and gravelled or macadamised its entire length, at an expense of $1,290. No land damage included. Appropriation, $1,500.
BEACON, PARK, AND CORAL STREETS.
The lines on Beacon and Park Streets have been established, making those streets forty feet in width. Park Street has been graded and gravelled its whole length. Coral Street has been graded, and a portion of Beacon Street. Expense $690.75. Appropriation, $850
BACON STREET
Has been graded and gravelled its whole length, at an ex-
4
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
pense of $104. An award to Mrs. Hogan of $100, is not paid. Appropriation, $250.
FRANKLIN STREET
Has been widened to forty feet, graded, gravelled and ex- tended to the Avenue, for the sum of $3,969.70. $164.59 award for land not paid. Appropriation, $6,000.
HIGHLAND AVENUE
Is not completed. The amount paid on the street during the year is $6,716.70. Included in this amount is $866.20 paid for land damage. The payments to the contractor have been 80 per cent on the amount of work done at the time of the several payments. The amount of work determined by the engineer. In this connection we will state that the con- tractor insists that he has performed all the labor required of him in the agreement, and extra labor to the amount of $600, notwithstanding the letter of the contract requires him to complete the street. Appearances indicate either an ad- ditional appropriation to complete the street, or a suit be- tween the Town and the contractor. The amount paid on the Avenue to Jan. 1st, 1873, is $7,716.70. Apropriation, $7,850.
MT. VERNON ST.
has been graded and gravelled for the sum of $1,352.71. Appropriation, $1.500.
The labor for building a new street, leading from Brattle Place to Grove Street, has been contracted for, and will be completed early in the spring. Amount paid to the first of January, $720.19.

$14,844.05
Added to which sum is $196.88, received for sidewalk re- pairs, and $115, for labor of Town teams on Cemetery. Making a total of $15,155.93, which sum deducted from $31,692.47, the amount expended for Highways, leaves the amount expended for General Highways, $16,526.54. The appropriation for which was $15,000.
One large item of expense which was not anticipated, and for which no appropriation was made at the annual meeting, is concrete, but by the action of the Town in May an ex- pense of $2,959.81 was incurred, thereby largely increasing the General Highway expenses. We would recommend a special appropriation for this purpose, as by the vote of the Town, there is no limit to the applications liable to be made.
In regard to the Highways, we would say that they are generally in good condition. Lowell Street, especially that portion of it between the Foot of the Rocks and the railroad bridge, needs extensive repairs. Our attention has been called to it a number of times during the year, but knowing that the County Commissioners had the matter under con- sideration, we did not deem it advisable to move without their order. But as they persistently neglected to declare their intentions to this board, at a late day, to protect the water pipe from the frost, we were obliged to raise the re- taining walls and cover the pipe. When that august body reveal their intentions it will probably require a considerable outlay of money to comply with their order.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
STONE CRUSHER.
There has been no alteration made in the machinery for running the crusher during the year, aside from the needed repairs. It is at present able to do as much work, as when it was purchased. But we believe the present location is not desirable, The stock of stones at the Town pit is ex- hausted, and we are obliged to buy what stones we need (beside what are hauled by the Town teams) for which are paid fifty cents per ton. A large amount of unnecessary labor is expended in drawing to the crusher, and much in- convenience occasioned in drawing from it. With the crusher properly located, a saving of the labor of three men could be made, which is certainly worthy of consideration. We would not recommend new machinery in its present location, but in a proper location it might be desirable, as a larger amount of crushed stone might be used to advantage.
ALMSHOUSE.
There were at the Almshouse January 1st, 1873 but three paupers. One has been taken away, and one has died dur- ing the year. Expense of the institution, $1,622.50. 155 lodgers. Appropriation, $2,000.
OUTSIDE POOR.
The two parties supported by the Town, at the Worcester Lunatic Asylum, the past years, have been discharged, and are caring for themselves. Amount expended $189.32. Appropriation, $400.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
CEMETERIES.
The sum expended on the Old and Mt. Pleasant Cemeteries is $36.87. Your Committee are convinced, considering the present area of our Cemeteries, and the proposed addition to the same, and also the amount of labor required to keep the same in such condition as shall be in keeping with the place, that a suitable man should be permanently employed, during the working season, whose duty it shall be to keep the avenues and walks in proper condition, the trees pro- perly trimmed, and such general work outside of the lots, as may be required by the Committee, also where a lot is neglected he shall under the direction of the Committee im- prove the appearance of said lot, and such amount shall be assessed upon said lot as shall cover the expense of said improvement. Also an owner of any lot may apply to said man to improve his or her lot, which application may be complied with if it does not interfere with his other duties. Payment in both instances to be made to the Town Treasurer.
Your Committee appointed in August to lay out additional grounds for cemetery purposes, have attended to that duty so far as to obtain a survey and plan of about six acres, comprising about 350 lots, a portion of which are staked, which plan will probably be presented to the Town at its annual meeting for its adoption or rejection.
Your Committee would offer a suggestion in regard to the tract of land purchased by the Town for burial purposes. There are enclosed in that tract five or six acres of low meadow which is not at present available, either for building or burial purposes ; producing one crop of coarse hay yearly. There is also a large quantity of material on high land, especially that part of it next to the pond, which might be used to reclaim the meadow, thereby not only improving the meadow but also the upland from which it is taken. Starting from the Pond shore, a gradual slope, where now is a steep bank, an immense amount of material can be obtained, and
8
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
if the Town should desire to sell a portion or the whole of the land not required for its own use, it may be worthy of consideration whether an improvement of this kind may not be practicable before any part of it is disposed of.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The inventory of the property of this department is as follows :- 1,600 feet of 2} inch Leather Hose, 200 feet of 2₺ inch Rubber Hose, 1,300 feet of which are new and in good condition, and 500 feet are old but in fair condition. One hand Engine in good repair. Your Committee have contrated for two hand Hose Carriages, and one Hook and Ladder Truck. In consequence of the delay of the con- tractor, he supplied one relief carriage, and having an op- portunity to purchase of the City of Charlestown, a second hand carriage at a reasonable price, we considered it advisable to purchase it, the contractor paying a stipulated price per day until the completion of the new ones. If it is not con- sidered policy to keep it as a relief when the new ones are completed it can be sold without loss to the Town.
The Engine House in the upper district, standing upon leased land, and needing more accommodations for a Hose Carriage, it was thought proper to purchase a lot of land and move the building upon it. Accordingly a lot was pur- chased of A. P. Cutter for $1,000, and the building moved thereon. We have also built an addition to the old build- ing, making sufficient room for the present wants of that part of the town.
In the centre district, a lot of land has been purchased of Mrs. Hannah Brooks, on the corner of Charlestown and Franklin Street, for $895.80, on which is being built a good substantial brick building to contain a Hose Carriage and a Hook and Ladder Truck. Large enough also to contain a Steam Fire Engine if wanted in the future.
The Board of Engineers are satisfied that when the build-
9

ings are completed, and the apparatus now under contract finished and in its proper place, and perhaps 500 feet more of hose added to our present supply, that the facilities for extinguishing fires in this town are ample for the present.
The Board of Engineers are aware of the necessity of an organized paid Fire Department, subject to such rules and regulations as the Town may adopt.
The Board have labored thus far under disadvantages, be- ing under the necessity of organizing two Hose Companies for the time being, and having no authority to fix any sum for their services, the companies have received the assurance that the matter of compensation will be determined at the next annual Town meeting.
We take the liberty to present to the Town, for its con- sideration a list of Rules and Regulations, in two classes, Special and General. The Special rules relating to the Companies. The General Rules to matters relating more generally to the department.
Expense of the department, $286. Appropriation, $300.
TOWN CLOCK.
Your committee, finding the old Clock in good condition, thought it advisable to have it repaired and placed in its for- mer position. Which has been done at an expense of $277.78. Appropriation, $600.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
Passing what was attempted (and if any citizen of the town is ignorant in that matter, we refer them to the various issues of the Arlington Advocate), proceed to what was ac- complished. Learning wisdom from experience, and know- ing the prevalence of the Small-Pox in the adjacent Towns and Cities, and feeling the necessity of a proper place for 2

the reception of such in our Town as might be afflicted with the malady. We built on the Town's land, near Mystic Pond, a comfortable building, capable of accommodating if required five or six patients. Located in a picturesque spot, with a fine view of the town from the front, and a view of that beautiful sheet of water called Mystic Lake from the rear, it is pronounced by its present occupants, a first class residence. Cost of building, $605.98.
STREET LAMPS.
Expense of the same during the year, $1,391.15. Appro- priation, $1,500.
GUIDE BOARDS.
Guide Boards are in position as required by law, two new ones having been supplied during the past year.
