SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


At the annual meeting in March, the citizens of the town, by a very complimentary vote, re-elected the old Board of Selectmen, for which mark of confidence and thrice repeated honor, indicative so far forth of approval on the part of the town of our doings for the two previous years, your Board would, at the outset of their report, record grateful acknowledgments.


The work of the present year has been that of general repair. No new streets have been built. Your town teams and laborers have been employed on nearly every thoroughfare within the town limits, some of the highways requiring no inconsiderable outlay, while others have been worked sufficiently to keep them in good condition.

Arlington Avenue.


In our last report reference was made to the defective condition of that portion of the avenue between Lake Street and Alewife Brook. Early in the season, the town force labored on this part of the highway, repicking two sections of the avenue, between the above-named points, and making anew the road-bed with crushed


8


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


stone. The centre of the avenue receiving a depth of seven to eight inches of stone, and gradually tapering to nothing on either side. The road-bed was regravelled from the town pit. That por- tion of the avenue, situated in the immediate proximity of the brook, is the more especially noticeable. The many depressions in the road-bed, resulting from heavy teaming in connection with its naturally level surface, have hitherto caused pools of standing · water during the winter and spring months, much to the annoy- ance of those teaming or driving over it. The easterly side of the avenue, from the brook almost to Lake Street, is defective in drainage. The surface water often remains in early spring along the side of the road and between the rails of the horse rail- road, and sometimes, after the heaviest rains, backs up, so as to overflow the yards and premises of the abutters on the avenue. This defect can be remedied, at no great expense, by constructing a surface drain, running parallel to the horse car railroad, and emptying into Alewife Brook. A short section of the avenue, above the foot of the rocks near the willows, has been regravelled. The avenue is to-day in excellent condition, excepting a small por- . tion near the Lexington line, which will require attention early in the spring. A concrete gutter has been made opposite the. Unita- rian Church, and road crossings constructed on the avenue. The culverts have all been cleaned and the gutters cleared from the wash of the streets.


Summer Street.


Reference has heretofore been made relative to the ledge, sit- uated on Summer Street, at a point in the curve of the road and within a few feet of the Middlesex Central Railroad. The general depression of all industrial interests at the opening of the year, coupled with the usual stagnation during the winter months, the openness of the winter, and hence complete cut off from labor of that class of our citizens, dependent upon the cutting and storing of ice to tide them over the dull season, caused frequent applica- tion to be made for aid to the Overseers of the Poor. Your Board, necessitated by the exigency of the case, either to give alms or work, and believing that the town should receive some adequate remuneration for help thus afforded, decided to commence work upon this ledge, and reduce it to level with the street. With a


9


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


view to render aid to the greatest number, the force thus employed was divided into three gangs, each gang working but two days during the week. The stone from the ledge was broken by hand. A large quantity was piled for future use on land belonging to es- tate of Cyrus Cutter. The road-bed was thus increased to a width of thirty feet and macadamized with the ledge stone, for a dis- tance of four hundred feet and then top-dressed with gravel. In the employment of men, at such times, with a view first of assisting them through the winter, and secondly, through their labors, to im- prove the town, it is one of the most difficult problems to draw the line between the really deserving to whom aid in some form is imperative, and others, not by any means in good circumstances, and yet having sufficient laid by to carry them through the winter. Certainly the dress of the applicant, his mode or style of living affords no certain criterion of his immediate wants. Without doubt married men with families, residents of the town, other things being equal, ought first to receive attention. Exceptions were taken, at the last town meeting, relative to the needs of the working force employed early in the season on this ledge. It was alleged that men were employed who could have cared for their families without this extra work, and that, too, to the exclusion of others in needy circumstances. In reply to this, your Board would say that possibly from want of definite knowledge-from falsehood on the part of the applicant or misstatements on the part of those from whom inquiries were made-men may have been employed who could have lived without such assistance, but in every case the Board must act from the best information at hand, and we respect- fully submit, whether it would not be better for that citizen who, from actual knowledge, knows of the employment of undeserving men at such times, to enter his protest to the Board, than the other course of noting the fact, and then appearing in town meet- ing eleven months after the completion of the work, enter a com- plaint against the Selectmen for the injudicious selection of men assisted by the town.


Charlestown Street.


The street is in excellent condition. A small portion of the highway near Alewife Brook has been crowned and top-dressed with gravel. Aside from this no expenditure has been made, other

than that of general repair to which all of our streets are yearly subject.


Mystic Street.


The gutters of this street have been cleared and the road-bed crowned, from a point near estate of Luke Wyman to land of Mr. Huffmaster. The sidewalk on the easterly side of the street, . fronting land of Mr. Davis, has been raised and rough finished, the abutter furnishing the gravel for the same. Mr. Davis, at his own expense, has reset his fence, for a distance of about five hun- dred feet to correspond with the street, thus making a much needed improvement. Two drains have been laid, one opposite res- idence of Wm. Stowe, being an eight-inch cement pipe, extending across the street, easterly, to a distance of eighty feet ; the other near land of Mr. Huffmaster, being a twelve-inch pipe, running in the same direction about one hundred feet; both these drains receive the surface water from the street and the high land on the westerly side. The gutters on old Mystic Street, so-called, meaning that portion cut off by the new line, have been ploughed, the road-bed crowned. This road from its infrequent use warrants but small outlay on the part of the town.
