SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


The Annual Report of the Selectmen of the town, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1891, is herewith respectfully pre- sented.


Highways.


Amount appropriated by the town, $15,000 00


66


for sidewalks,


1,000 00


66 for Academy street, 800 00


66


66 for Warren street and


Lewis avenue, 2,000 00


66


for culvert over Alewife


brook, 3,200 00


For details of expenditure see the Treasurer's report.


On account of the grading of the streets being extended late into the fall of 1890, and of the early frost, the thorough cleaning of the streets was omitted, consequently, this was the first work done in the spring.


Academy Street.


That portion of the street near Maple street for which $800 was appropriated has been graded, so as to drain the part that was flooded after every rain. The cost exceeded the appropriation by $30. The portion of the street near J. H. Hardy's has been raised, a retaining wall built along the line of Wm. T. Foster's, and a brick drain constructed across the street, thus making a much needed improvement at a cost of about $850. This seems a large expenditure, but


8


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


the drainage of this section, including Gray and Jason streets, has been a source of great trouble to former Boards of Selectmen. This year satisfactory arrangements were made with the abutters, so that all claims for damages have been satisfactorily settled, and a right secured to drain the surface water through the lands from Academy street to Spy Pond, at a small expense when compared with the benefits derived. A portion of the cost has been received from the abutters.


Arlington Avenue.


In constructing the new bridge at Alewife brook, the grade was raised, making it necessary to stone and gravel quite a distance. About $3600 was spent in rebuilding the culvert and the approaches thereto. Other parts of the avenue have been patched with stone and gravel. With the exception of the culvert on the avenue no large amount has been expended this year. The fences have been set back to the line given by the County Commissioners. There will be quite a large amount required for the avenue the coming season, as many places need coating over with stone and gravel, especially the portions near the lane to the stone crusher, and from Park avenue to Vine street.


Acton Street.


This street leading from Appleton street to the town pit should be finished early the coming season. It has always been left until fall and the frost comes before we get to it. There has already been gravel enough taken from the street to pay the expenses and there is still considerable left.


Appleton Street.


This street has been patched in many places and the gutters kept cleared. There will be quite a large amount required to put the street in good condition, as the County Commissioners have widened and straightened the portion of the street between Arlington avenue and Vine street.


9


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Broadway


Has been repaired in many places and the part near Alewife brook should receive early attention.


Henderson Street.


The part accepted by the town has been covered with blue gravel and rolled, making this one of the best streets in town.


Pleasant Street.


This street, between the residence of S. Payson Prentiss and Spring valley, has been graded and covered with crushed stone to a depth of nine inches and thoroughly rolled and coated with screened blue gravel at a cost of $2650. In lowering the grade there was a large amount of gravel suitable for streets where there is but little travel. This was put on side streets and should be credited to the the expense of this street, which would make the cost about $2000. A part of this street, from Arlington avenue to Maple street, should be macadamized the coming season and the street would then be in a good condition its entire length.


Mystic Street.


This street near S. A. Fowle's has been coated over with stone and gravel and patched in many places. Other por- tions need repairing.


North Union Street.


About half the length of this street has been graded with blue gravel, and the sides filled, making sidewalks nearly the whole length.


Winter Street


Has been patched but it is impossible to make a good street without a thorough overhauling. The grade needs to be changed so as to give better drainage. There are too


10


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


many trees shading the street and preventing its drying up quickly after a rain.


Russell Street.


This street has been covered with blue gravel its entire length, and well rolled. The street is now in good condi- tion and will last many years.


Park Avenue


Has been kept in a fair condition by making such repairs as were needed. The street in many places is becoming flat and rough and should be crowned with gravel the coming season.


Maple Street.


The grade of this street had to be changed near Academy street to correspond with that street, and on account of a ledge here the work was quite expensive. The street has been coated with blue gravel nearly its entire length.


Westminster Avenue.


A portion of this street from Lexington line to the resi- dence of Nathan Nourse has been put in good condition by crowning the street with blue gravel, and the sidewalks have been coated over with screened gravel.


Montague Avenue


Has been crowned by picking the outside edges and scraping to the centre and then covering with blue gravel.


Wollaston Avenue.


This avenue was laid out 60 feet wide but was built 40 feet thus leaving a deep fill upon the north side 20 feet in width. The course pursued the last two years has been to use all of the street scrapings in that section to make the fill. If this is continued it will soon be filled its entire width at very little cost.


11


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Other streets have been patched in many places and the loose stone raked off. Gutters have been cleaned and the retaining fences kept in repair.


Sidewalks have been kept in repair with screened gravel and stone dust. There has been a very large amount of concreting done this season, and about 900 feet of edgestone have been set, the abutters having furnished the stone.


Drainage.


The drain on Arlington avenue near F. F. Squire's has been repaired by laying a foot pipe across the avenue con- necting directly with the drain through Barnes lane. Thus far this has proved sufficient to carry off the water from this section of the street.


Warren Street and Lewis Avenue


Have been drained by laying a 20-inch pipe along Warren street through the driveway on the south side of the ceme- tery, with a foot pipe along Lewis avenue across Medford street connecting with the 20-inch drain at the cemetery gate. As the pipe has been laid with a foot fall in 100 feet with suitable catch-basins to take the water from the low places along the street it looks as though this would obviate all trouble for many years. The sum expended amounts to about $1965.


Academy street has already been referred to.


Teams and Tools.


These are in good condition except the watering carts. They are past keeping in repair, and there should be one added every year until they have all been replaced by new carts. We have bought one double cart and two horses the past year, as last year two horses were kept in each of the hosehouses, Wm. Penn and Highland, for fire duty and have also been used upon the highways.


12


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


Watering Streets.


The contract for watering Arlington avenue from Tufts street to Alewife brook, Pleasant street and Mystic street was awarded to Eli Fletcher, the town teams attending to the remainder. The custom has been to raise a part of the expense of watering by subscriptions for the last few years, leaving a balance to be taken out of the highway appropria- tion. While it is an advantage to have the streets watered, we think there ought to be more money raised by subscrip- tion ; we would suggest that the town raise $1050 to be used upon streets where the abutters raise the same amount.


Street Lights.


Our streets are lighted by the Somerville Electric Light Company under a contract made last year and which expires May 1, 1893, for $6240 per year for 213 incandescents and 29} arcs on a basis of 40 cents for arc and 62 for incandescent per night. Deductions are allowed at the rate of 40 cents for the arc and 7 cents for the incandescent per night.


Under the contract our streets are lighted from dusk until one o'clock 20 nights each and every month according to moon schedule, so called, or during such nights as may be determined to the amount of 240 nights per year. The company also agrees to run the lights upon other cloudy or stormy nights when requested to do so by the Selectmen for $15 for each extra night the lamps are so lighted. An arrangement has been made with the company so that instead of lighting as formerly 20 nights per month we now have 22 nights. The first four nights the lights are put out when the moon rises.


Total number lights, 246₺


Incandescent, 217


Arc, 29₺


Almshouse.


The contract for improving the sanitary arrangements of this place, which were much needed, was awarded to Mr.


13


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


R. W. Shattuck for $340. The work was done in a first class manner, and to the satisfaction of the Board. The chimneys have been rebuilt from the roof up and other needed repairs have been attended to. At a small expense this place can be kept in good repair another season. Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Proctor resigned last spring and Mr. B. F. Durgin was appointed as superintendent of the almshouse, and to the best of our judgment has given perfect satis- faction. Mr. and Mrs. Durgin show good judgment in the care of inmates and buildings.

Town House.


At the annual town meeting $400 was appropriated, together with the unexpended balance $795.95 from last year's appropriation and the income, which has been used to reslate the roof, which was done in a very satisfactory manner by C. S. Parker & Sons for $729. The ceilings and walls in the hall and ante-rooms, on both upper and lower stories, should be retinted and painted. An addi- tional safe should also be provided for the town records, owing to the inconvenience caused by limited capacity of the present one. As the records and valuable papers are constantly increasing, some arrangement should be made immediately for more room, and we recommend the


14


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


building of a fireproof vault in the corner of the Select- men's room, adjoining the present safe, which can be done at a very small cost, probably not exceeding $300. The grounds around the town house have for many years been very unsightly, especially so since the removal of the old depot, and many ways have been suggested for beautifying the same. The town, not wishing to do the whole, your Selectmen early in the year conferred with officials of the Boston and Maine Railroad, and finally a satisfactory arrangement was made whereby one of the grandest transformations was accom- plished that has taken place in town for years, and at a small expense to the town in comparison with the benefits derived. The railroad company furnished all the loam used in grading and the concrete and granite edgestone adjoin- ing their lands, the town furnishing the labor and the balance of concrete and edgestone, at an expense of $396.77 which was taken from the town house appropriation.


Coal.


The town was supplied with coal by Mr. Warren A. Peirce, he being the lowest bidder.


The prices were, Honey Brook Lehigh at $5.55 per ton ; George's Creek Cumberland at $3.97 per ton ; furnace, egg, stove at $4.88 per ton.


Police and Fire Departments.


Details of these departments will be found in the reports of the Chiefs and Town Treasurer.


Cemeteries.


The report on cemeteries will be found in another place, as this year the Cemetery Committee was consolidated with the Trustees of the Robbins' and Soldiers' Monument Funds. Respectfully submitted.
