Arlington Avenue.


The first principal work of the season was the repairing of this street, from Pattee's crossing to Water Street, and from Alewife Brook to near Teel Street, which was done by scrap- ing the roadbed, and crowning it with crushed stone and gravel. This method of repairing has proved a success, and these sections are in excellent condition, and bid fair to re- main so for some time to come. The portion of the avenue from Park Avenue to Lexington line has been placed in good condition by crowning with stone and gravel. Ruts and hollows have been repaired with finely screened crushed stone.


Academy Street.


This street is in good condition, the gutters having been cleared, and the roadbed re-gravelled from the avenue to the Academy grounds.


Appleton Street.


A part of this street has been re-gravelled, and the hollow near Oakland Avenue has been filled with stone and gravel.


9


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Broadway.


A portion of this street has been thoroughly repaired (about 1,200 feet) by cutting down the shoulders of the roadbed and crowning the centre with blue gravel. Al- though the material has to be hauled a long distance, making the repairs quite expensive, yet we think that the citizens will see the advisibility of completing the remainder of the street in the same way the ensuing year.


Bow and Forest Streets.


But little has been done upon these two streets, from the fact of the possibility of the county commissioners ordering some alterations or improvements.


Lowell Street.


That part of the street near the reservoir greatly needs to be macadamized the coming season.


Lake Street.


Some portions of this street are becoming rough and uneven, and will have to be repaired with fine cracked stone the coming season.


Medford Street.


About 800 feet of this street, from the residence of Charles Gott to near the residence of H. L. Lawrence, has been macadamized the past season, making now about 1,400 feet. of excellent street. We would suggest that the remainder of this street be repaired in the same way early in the com- ing spring. This, completed, would be one of the best streets in town.


Mystic Street.


About 700 feet of this street, near the estate of William Stowe, has been put in thorough repair with stone and gravel. Also the hollow between Russell and Summer Streets, which


10


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


was very flat and muddy in wet seasons, has been placed in good condition, by crowning with stone and gravel. Some other portions of this street will need like repairs the ensuing season. A section of the bank wall adjoining the James Wyman estate will need to be relaid in the spring.


Mount Vernon Street.


The gutters have been cleared, the wash-outs of the summer showers repaired, and the street is now in good condition.


Pleasant Street


Is in good order, yet some portions will need re-gravelling the ensuing year. About 700 feet have been crowned with blue gravel the past season.


Park Avenue.


This street has been partly re-gravelled the past season, and is generally in good condition.


Warren Street.


Some gravel has been used upon this street in filling the uneven places, thus placing it in a fair condition.


Walnut Street.


The gutters have been cleared, the centre of the roadbed crowned, and it is now in excellent repair.


Winter Street.


This street was formerly in a very bad condition, especially in wet seasons. The entire roadway has been placed in thorough repair with stone and gravel, and it is now one of the best roads in this vicinity.


11


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Westminster Avenue.


We have had this street surveyed and a plan of it drawn, and have laid it out at a width of 40 feet; and we would recommend its establishment as a highway at the next March meeting, the abutters having agreed to waive all claims for damages, and to remove all fences and buildings.


The gutters have been cleared in nearly all the streets in town, and are in good condition for the winter.


We think it advisable to repair the streets with crushed stone principally, its cost being but a trifle more than the expense of picking and carting gravel. The total number of loads of gravel used the past year is considerably less than the former year, but nearly all of it has been drawn a long distance.


Guide Boards.


Five new boards have been placed in position; viz., at the corners of Medford, Webster, and Beacon Streets with War- ren Street, and corners of Lake and Court Streets with Arlington Avenue. Some few old boards need to be repainted, and some replaced with new ones.


Watering Streets.


As in former years, a subscription was taken, and two carts were run during the season. Three new stand-pipes have been erected to facilitate the work.


Culrerts and Bridges.


Several culverts have been taken up and relaid. One new culvert has been put in on Medford Street, and four new water-grates have been laid.


The Weir-river Bridge, on Medford Street, has been replanked, one-half the expense being paid by the town of Medford.


12


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Stone Crusher.


The engine and crusher are in very good repair, but a new belt is needed. There is a large amount of stone in the yard ready for crushing, but perhaps not enough for the coming season. The teams and tools have been kept in good condition and repair, and are of equal value of a year ago.


Concreting.


Quite a large number of yards have been laid in different parts of the town. Where concrete sidewalks have been laid, one-half the expense has been paid by the abutters, as will be seen by the Treasurer's Report. Considerable has been done for individuals.


Concrete Gutters and Crossings.


A concrete gutter, consisting of 143 yards, has been laid on Claremont Avenue, near Wollaston Avenue. This work was very necessary, as during every rain we experienced more or less washing out. Upon several streets in town where they are of steep grade, the gutters should be con- creted. Crossings have been laid as follows : two on Arling- ton Avenue, three on Pleasant Street, at the expense of the town; two on Pleasant, and one on Academy Streets, paid for by individuals ; and one at the junction of Park and Arling- ton Avenues, one-half expense being paid by the Arlington Heights Improvement Society.


Sidewalks


Have been repaired with gravel on Arlington Avenue, Academy, Broadway, Dudley, Central, Medford, Mystic, Pleasant, Summer, and Warren Streets. There has been expended upon sidewalks the sum of $493.75, leaving an un- expended balance of $6.25. Walks on several of the streets very much need re-gravelling at an early day.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Almshouse.


The Almshouse, as for two years previous, has been under the care of Mr. George W. Austin and wife; and, as we believe, the affairs of the house have been conducted in a satisfactory manner.

The gas-lamps have been lighted by two of the police, and the gasoline by a per- son employed by the Globe Gas Light Company.


Coal.


Following the custom of former years, letters were issued asking proposals for furnishing the needed supply for the Town; Mr. J. W. Peirce received the contract for $5.78 per ton, including housing the same.


Cemeteries.


Mr. John B. Hartwell has had the care of the cemeteries the past year. Foliage and flowering plants have been set as heretofore by Mr. Dinsmore.

15


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Licenses.


A majority of the Board finding it impossible for them to believe that it would be for the best interest of the Town to have licenses granted for the sale of intoxicating liquors, therefore no licenses have been granted.


Outside Poor.


Appropriation,


$2,300 00


Credit from Poor Widow's Fund, 435 00


$2,735 00


Expended,


2,721 58


Balance unexpended,


$13 42


Three of the insane poor have died during the year, namely, John Hass, Endor Estabrook, and Levi I. Lombard. There are now three in the Asylum, Mr. Dennis Dunn, George V. Hill, and Margaret Lyons. The appropriation granted has been expended as best we knew how, and the amount expended for Mr. Thomas Mccarthy, referred to in the Treasurer's Report, is to be refunded by the State.


Fire Department.


As has been the custom heretofore, we refer to the Report of the Chief Engineer.


Counsel Fees.


In this connection we would say, that after several in- effectual attempts to obtain a settlement in any way with Mr. Daniel Lyons for the board of his daughter in the Asylum, and having good reasons for believing that he was amply able to pay something, suit was brought against him, in which the Court gave judgment in favor of the Town ; but he, having filed objections to the ruling of the Court, has carried the case to a higher court for decision.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Conclusion.


The Report of the Treasurer, following this, will give you a detailed statement of receipts and expenditures.


We leave the matter with you, fellow-citizens, to judge whether or not we have acted judiciously in the management of the affairs of the Town.


Respectfully submitted,
