Other streets have been repaired with stone and gravel and the loose stone raked off. The gutters and catch basins have been cleaned and the retaining fences kept in repair.
Bridges.
River street bridge has been thoroughly repaired by re- laying a part of the centre pier, putting in new stringers, and covering with new plank. A new railing has been put up.
Medford street bridge, known as Weir's bridge, is being newly built with heavy granite piers. The span is to be cov- ered with heavy iron girders laid four feet apart, and the space between is to be arched with brick, and the whole is to be covered with heavy asphalt. The side walls, approaching the bridge, are built with heavy granite. Owing to the
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
severe cold weather work has been delayed, but when the bridge is completed it will be a solid structure and a very great improvement.
Sidewalks.
The sidewalks in many places have been covered with screened gravel and stone dust. Some concrete walks and crossings have been laid, but more attention needs to be paid to the walks, and more money should be raised for this purpose. About 1000 feet of edgestones have been set, the abutters furnishing the stone.
Watering Streets.
In watering the streets, the horses kept for fire purposes were used near the centre of the town. Eli Fletcher took the contract to water Arlington avenue from Tufts street to Alewife brook, Pleasant street and Mystic street.
Teams and Tools.
There are at present nine horses. One having died last fall, and one being used for the offal wagon, makes the High- way department two short of their usual number. A pair will have to be purchased next spring. They have all been in- sured and we think this the safer plan. The road carts are in a good condition, but the watering carts are getting old and past repair. A new one should be bought this season. The tools are in a good condition.
Drinking Fountain.
The ice used in cooling the water in this fountain has been furnished by the local ice man, Mr. C. W. Ilsley. The fountain being a new accommodation last year, the ice was donated by Mr. Ilsley. It consumed a number of tons. This year it has been furnished at half price.

Town House.
The additional safe spoken of in last year's report has been provided for the town records, and other valuable papers. This has been built as recommended by last year's board at an expense of $300. Other than this, but little has been expended on the building during the year.
Coal.
The town was supplied with coal by Peirce & Winn Com- pany, they being the lowest bidders.
The prices were, George's Creek Cumberland at $3.74 per ton, furnace $5.24, egg $5.49, stove $5.74.
Police and Fire Department.
Reports of these departments will be found in the reports of the Chiefs and Town Treasurer.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Offal.
At our November meeting the town voted to raise $1000 for the purpose of collecting offal and ashes. The money has been nearly spent. This was to carry the work along until the March meeting. The offal has been sold to Mr. W. W. Rawson to March first, for the sum of $50. This our first attempt in this line of work we believe has proved a great success, and we recommend its continuance .
Street Lights.
Our streets are lighted by the Somerville Electric Light Company under a contract made two years ago, which expires May 1, 1893. A new contract will have to be made then. It has been suggested that the town furnish its own Electric Lights, and we think this may be brought about in connection with High Service.
Respectfully submitted.
