SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Arlington Avenue,
At the March meeting, the town voted to order up the horse railroad tracks and locate them in the middle of the street, which has been done from the terminus of the road to a point nearly opposite Linwood street. Probably few of our citizens were aware at that time of the extent and ex- pense of the work laid out. A great portion of the old road-bed of the horse railroad was a deep, sandy loam, which had to be removed and filled in with crushed stone and gravel, and although it has been a costly piece of work, we think it a great improvement to the town, and we have a road that will need very little repairs for some years to come. In spending so much time and money on this, we had to neglect some work that was needed in other parts of the town, and call for more money at the November town meeting. The embankment near the "old brick school- house " has been removed, thereby widening the street and improving it for public travel. General repairs have been made along the avenue, from the Lexington to the Cam- bridge lines.
We desire to call the attention of the citizens to the fact, that no estimate of the expense of repairing the avenue after the removal of the horse-railroad track was included in the general appropriation for highways. The amount expended by the town thus far for this work has been $3716.10. There is still a small portion of the work unfinished, which should receive attention early in the spring.
Acton Street.
A large portion of this street has been built, together with sidewalks, the past season, at a cost of $342.75. It will require ] about one hundred dollars to blast the ledge and complete the street.
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Appleton Street.
Some repairs have been made on this street, including the grading of a sidewalk between Park avenue and Vine street. A concrete gutter has been laid from Acton street to the main avenue. Some repairs are needed on the old portion of this street.
Broadway.
Some method should be adopted to dispose of the surface water in the hollow near the residence of Mr. Puffer.
Forest Street.
Repairs have been made nearly the entire length, and the street is in very good condition.
Highland Avenue.
Will need attention the coming season.
Hillside Avenue.
A section of gutter has been paved with stone. Other sections should be treated in the same manner.
Henderson Street.
Water grates have been placed in the hollow, taking the surface water into a drain pipe running to Alewife brook. Some blue gravel is needed in the centre of the street to crown it up.
Lake Street.
Some portions of this street need to be repicked and
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
rolled, and some of the more flat portions need to be crowned up with stone and gravel.
Mystic Street.
Sections near the residence of Mr. Stowe and Fowle's mill have been repaired the past season by crowning with stone and gravel. The street is in very good condition ex- cept the hill near Winchester line, which needs attention as soon as possible. Much heavy teaming goes over this street, and it is in a very poor condition ; and as there is no good gravel in that locality, suitable repairs should be made principally with crushed stone.
Montague Street.
This street, recently accepted by the town, has been placed in fair condition with material obtained on the street.
North Union Street.
'The appropriation of $200 made by the town has been expended, and a decided improvement has been made in the street.
Pleasant Street.
In accordance with the recommendation made in report of last year, that portion of the street between the residence of Dr. Hodgdon and the main avenue, has been reduced to grade and crowned with stone and gravel. That portion of the street from the residence of C. O. Gage, Esq., to Bel- mont line should be rebuilt in the same manner as soon as practicable.
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Park Avenue.
A portion of this street has been regravelled, and side- walks repaired. The concrete gutters have been repaired and skimcoated. Other portions of the hill will require gravel the coming season.
Westminster Avenue.
Has been repaired with gravel, and is in good condition. Railings have been put up on the westerly side, and the bank wall near the residence of H. E. Lewis has been relaid.
Watering Streets.
The streets have been watered in the same manner as heretofore, by the teams of the highway department, the abutters subscribing a portion of the expense.
. Sign Boards.
Several have been repaired and repainted, and some new ones put up. Some method should be adopted to detect and punish persons who maliciously deface and destroy so many signs each year.
Stone Crusher.
The building has been shingled on one side, and some other repairs made.
A larger amount of stone has been crushed and used the past season than for any one year in the last ten, conse- quently we have but few stone on hand ; and, in order to meet the requirements of the ensuing season, some will have to be purchased.
13
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Teams and Tools.
We have five good horses. One having died, it will be necessary to purchase one to take its place early in the sea- son. A new two horse cart has been added, and one single cart will be required. The tools have been kept in their usual condition.
Almshouse.
Until this year the Superintendent of Streets has had charge of the Almshouse. But, considering the amount of work and supervision needed on the highways, we concluded to separate the two departments this year, and appointed Mr. Darwin A. Proctor Superintendent of the Almshouse. The house and its surroundings appear to be well managed, and the inmates well cared for. So far, we are well satisfied with the result of the experiment.
The buildings should be painted next year and some small repairs will be needed.

Street Lamps.
The contract with the Wheeler Reflector Co. was re- newed on same terms as last year.
The Arlington Gaslight Co. furnish gas for 90 lamps, and the Wheeler Reflector Co. light 144 lamps.
The lamps are under the charge of Mr J. H. Fermoyle.
Coal.
As usual, letters were issued requesting bids for supplying the town with coal.
Mr. Warren A. Peirce was awarded the contract. he being the lowest bidder; price, $5.15 per ton, and $5.80 for Lehigh.
Cemeteries.
At the annual meeting in March the Selectmen were appointed Committee on Cemeteries, and make the following report :
Town appropriation,

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The committee have removed a number of trees from the Old and Mt. Pleasant cemetery, and would suggest that no trees be planted near the lots as they soon discolor the monuments, and render them unsightly.
We are pleased to notice the interest generally taken, of late years, by owners of lots, to keep them in good order. But there are some exceptions. A few lots seem to receive no attention whatever by the owners. In some cases we have spent a little time on lots owned by persons who have left the town for parts unknown; but there should be no excuse for parties living in our town or neighborhood, neg- lecting their lots so as to mar the good appearance of the cemetery.
Mr. John H. Hartwell has had charge and has kept the grounds in good order.
Town House.
Quite extensive repairs have been made on the building. The roof was in a very bad, if not dangerous condition. It has been well braced and bolted, the cupola repaired and coppered underneath, and is now probably as strong as when first built. The inside has been painted, the ceiling and walls tinted, the rostrum remodelled, and stairs made to a waiting-room below. We have endeavored to do the work thoroughly, as far as the funds we had would admit of, thus leaving some things undone which we would liked to have finished this year. A new floor should be laid in the hall, the cells in the Lock-up re-arranged, and some other small repairs are needed. To put the outside walls in good order would be an expensive job, and we have left that for future consideration by the town. An appropriation of $650 was made at the November town meeting for new seats in the hall. We have contracted with the Harwood Manufacturing
16

Co. of Boston for 360 chairs at a cost of $1.40 apiece, making a total of $504.
Licenses.
In accordance with Chapter 431 of the Acts of the Legis- lature for 1887, we have issued two sixth class licenses.
Police.
This department has been vigilant and efficient in guard- ing the citizens' interests, and we feel we may safely say the year has been a noted one for good order and good govern- ment.
Details of this department will be found in the following report.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Of those arrested for drunkenness, at least one-half of them came direct from Boston. One, arrested for disturb- ance, was taken from the railroad train. While the number arrested for drunkenness is more this year than last, the number arrested for assaults and disturbing the peace is much less.
Three arrests were made here for officers of other towns. Twenty-four warrants have been sworn out to search for liquors, on seventeen of which nothing was found ; two were prosecuted, where evidence was strong, of violation of liquor laws, but they were discharged. Six have been convicted for violation of liquor law, and two of them are now in common jail.
Soon after the first of the year Michael J. O'Brien, on account of illness, was obliged to give up work, and Special Officer Daniel M. Hooley took his place until May 1st, when he was appointed a regular officer. He, with officers Barry and Austin, deserve credit for the arrest of Henry Murray, who broke and entered the post-office, Nov. 15.
Five lost children have been cared for and returned to their homes,
267 tramps have been sent to the Almshouse for lodging ; males 257, females 10, and 29 have been lodged at the station.
