SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Street Lights.
Believing that the lighting of streets in the future will be generally done by electricity, a contract was made with the Somerville Electric Light Company to furnish eight arc and two hundred and twenty incandescent lights. A few oil lamps at a distance from the main lines are still in use, but lighted by the above company.
In making such an alteration as this, there is sure to be more or less friction in starting, but on the whole the town seems satisfied with the changes. Fifteen new lights have been added and more are wanted for another year.
Coal.
Letters were issued requesting bids for supplying the town with coal and the contract was awarded to Mr. Warren A. Peirce, the lowest bidder. The prices were $5.50 per ton for common anthracite, $5.88 per ton for H. B. Lehigh, and $4.63 per ton for Cumberland.
Cemeteries.
Considerable outlay has been made on Mt. Pleasant cemetery for concreting gutters, which the committee deemed advisable to protect the avenues from washouts during heavy rains.
The town tomb should be repaired next year and the hearse house shingled. We would recommend that the old hearse be sold, but the house is needed for the storage of tools, etc. Your committee would also recommend that all money received for the sale of lots be kept as a fund for use in the cemeteries and not turned into the general account.
A number of trees have been removed and many more

could be gradually taken out with benefit to the grounds. Mr. John H. Hartwell has had charge of the grounds and they have been kept in good order.
Town House.
Something should be done to the outside walls of the building the coming year. Beside its bad appearance, it is getting to be somewhat dangerous, as pieces of mastic occa- sionally become loose and fall, making it unpleasant for persons on the sidewalk. The only way to make thorough work of it seems to be to cut all the old mastic off and paint the walls. The Lock-up has been re-arranged and new cells put in, making it secure and comfortable før prisoners, and convenient for the officers in charge.
Licenses.
In accordance with Chapter 431 of the Acts of the Legis- lature for 1887, we have issued one sixth class license.
Police.
This department, consisting of a chief and three patrol- men, remains the same as last year. Details will be found in the following report.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
GENTLEMEN-I have the honor to present my Annual Report of the Police Department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1888.

Of these 325 were sent to the Almshouse for lodging and 48 were lodged at the station.
We have had three cases of breaking and entering, and one house entered by a " sneak-thief." In only two of these cases was property of much value taken. In one case, that of F. O. Squire, the most of the property was recovered. For this break, six were indicted before the Grand Jury, but for want of sufficient evidence to convict, four of them were allowed to go on their own recognizance, the other two had each just received a twenty years' sentence for other crimes, so they were not put on trial.
When we consider our proximity to a large city, the many breaks that have occurred in the cities and towns around us; and the smallness of our police force, it seems to me we have been fortunate in having so small a loss of property.
A determined effort has been made to suppress the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors. During the year, we have pro- cured search warrants and searched eighteen places, but on
16
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
only four of them was any liquor found. Five persons have been convicted for violation of liquor law.
The difficulties attending the enforcement of the liquor law are such as never appear in any other criminal cases. It is very difficult to obtain evidence in these cases. Officers are often convinced in their own minds that illegal sales of liquor have been made, but the same evidence that convinces them, does not always satisfy a court or jury.
At all defective places found in the streets and sidewalks, lanterns have been placed, and the same have been reported to the Superintendent of Streets. Five stray teams have been put up.
Respectfully submitted. EUGENE MEAD,
Chief of Police.
Mystic Sewer.
During the past year the Boston Water Board have erected, at an expense of nearly $10,000, a system of tanks, vats, etc, for the purpose of purifying the sewage matter coming from Woburn and Winchester. We have visited them several times during the past season and, judging from our investigations, should say that everything that science and chemistry could do, has been done to accom- plish this end. The effluent, which runs from the vats into the lower Mystic pond, does not, in our judgment, contain any thing that could cause an offensive odor, or impair the health and comfort of those residing in the near vicinity. We would recommend any one interested in the matter to visit the works, and can assure them a cordial welcome by
