been completed, from the Robbins Library on the avenue, through Mystic street to Chestnut street, and across the meadow to the brook in the rear of the Cemetery, taking all the surface water from Arlington avenue and the lower end of Pleasant street, which formerly flowed into the low land in the rear of the property owned by Mr. F. E. Fowle.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
This Board consists of the three members of the Board of Selectmen, assisted by the town physician, Dr. E. P. Stick- ney, and the Inspector of plumbing, Mr. Edwin Mills - the latter also filled the position as agent of the Board. This position has been no sinecure. A large number of inspec- tions for sanitary defects and to abate nuisances have been made.
The regulations adopted by the town, in consequence of the Statute relating to the business of plumbing throughout the State, have been impartially enforced in the interests of the citizens of our town who employ plumbers, as well as for the protection of those in the town who are engaged in the plumbing business. `The importance and value of the inspections will become more apparent each year. A com- plete record is kept, by the Inspector, of each building ex- amined, and the information contained in those records will prove of much value to those who may wish to purchase buildings in the town, as they can ascertain just what qual- ity of work has been put into them. As the work of this department becomes better known it will be more highly appreciated. It is expected that before another year passes the town will elect a special Board of Health, and that some much needed by-laws in relation to the general health of the town will be adopted.
TOWN HOUSE.
During the past year two important improvements have been made. The old heating apparatus has been replaced
10
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
by a complete system of steam heating which has added very much to the comfort of all who in any way use, or occupy, the building.
That part of the building, which has been occupied as a Post Office, has been radically changed and enlarged, to accommodate the increased business which is now transacted through this office. The change was so much needed and so generally demanded by the public, that the Board felt justified in carrying out the wishes of the citizens, although to do so resulted in a larger expenditure than was intended when the appropriation was asked for at the annual meeting.
ALMSHOUSE.
Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Durgin continue in charge of the Almshouse, and we are pleased to express our satisfaction with the efficient manner in which they perform the many duties connected with the institution. At present, there are eight inmates, three males and five females.
The Rev. John M. Mulcahy has generously presented to the town a fine piano for use at the Almshouse.
The buildings will require painting this year in addition to some general repairs.
The new building, adjoining the stable, has been com- pleted, for the use of the Highway department, and will prove very valuable for the storage of the various vehicles, tools and harnesses used by the department.
POLICE.
Chief of Police Mead resigned his position to engage in business on his own account. He made many friends, dur- ing his service of ten years as head of the police force, and we are pleased to express our appreciation of his long and faithful service in the interest of good order in the town.
The new Chief - Mr. A. S. Harriman -- makes his first report, which will be found in detail in another place. He
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
comes to us after a service of nineteen years on the police force of the city of Cambridge and brings many valuable suggestions - the natural result of a long experience. We are very glad to express our satisfaction to the chief and his officers, for the excellent work which this department has performed, in maintaining order, and enforcing the sentiment of the citizens of the town in relation to the sale of intoxicating liquors. We approve of the recommen- dation contained in the chief's report, that an additional man be added to the regular force. This may be accomplished, by appointing a regular Janitor for the Town Building, thereby relieving Officer Hooley, and allowing him to de- vote his entire time to police duty, which would save the expense of a new officer.
STREET LIGHTING.
Our streets have been lighted the past year by electricity, furnished by the Somerville Electric Light Co. at a total cost of $7340- using sixty-eight and one-half arc and one hundred and eighteen incandescent lights. The subject, of establishing a municipal lighting plant in the town, is now under consideration, by a committee recently appoint- ed, " for the purpose of ascertaining the cost of building and maintaining a town plant sufficient to light our streets and furnish light and power for commercial uses." We trust that the outcome of the committee's work will be, to give the town better service at a less expense than under the present arrangement.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
We desire to express our appreciation of the excellent condition of the department, a complete account of which will be found in the report of the Chief Engineer.
In the death of assistant engineer John M. O'Keefe, the department has lost the service of a good man and a faith- ful member.
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.

REPORT
OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
GENTLEMEN -- I submit to you my annual report showing the different streets and manner in which the appropriation has been expended and calling your attention to repairs and im- provements which should be made the coming season. As you are well aware a large portion of our street appropria- tion for the last two years has been expended in widening Massachusetts avenue and Mystic street, thus neglecting many of the necessary repairs and causing our streets in many places to be neglected and consequently falling behind their usual good condition.
In widening these streets it was necessary in many places to change the road-bed. An entire new foundation had to be made which amounted to the same as building a new street. Heavy retaining and bank walls have had to be re- built and in many places entirely new walks have been laid.
Mystic Street.
Work was commenced on this street early in the season and the portion of the street from Massachusetts avenue to the Huffmaster estate has been widened to the line ordered by the County Commissioners, by setting back the fences and re-laying walls and in many places building new retaining walls. The road-bed from Fairview avenue to near old
14
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Mystic street was thoroughly rebuilt by removing the loam and filling in with broken rocks teamed from the High school lot, a layer of crushed stone was spread upon this and then a light coat of gravel was spread, each layer was thoroughly rolled by the steam roller. The portion of this street from Massachusetts avenue to near Russell street was rebuilt and coated over with crushed stone and then covered with a light coat of screened gravel, each coating was thoroughly rolled by the steam roller.
Work was commenced near the Winchester line but, as the County Commissioners have been petitioned to change the line at this end, work has been stopped until the line is settled.
There has been expended about $7000 on this street.
Massachusetts Avenue
Has been repaired in many places by picking up and coating over with crushed stone and gravel. Both sides of the avenue from the Cambridge line to Henderson street, and from Wyman street to the monument and on the north side of the avenue from near Medford street to Mill street, have been treated in this way. With the steam roller to do the picking and rolling, it is very easy to resurface a mac- adam road as in many places it requires but little new ma- terial. The portion from Crusher Lane to Forest street has been rebuilt, the bank at the old school-house has been removed, the fences on each side have been set to conform to the Commissioners' line. Work near the Lexington line was begun but cold weather set in before much was done, this part of the avenue should be completed the coming sea- son and from the Crusher Lane to the centre on the south side should be picked up and coated with stone and gravel. By the extension of the electric road to the Heights it causes the travel more on the sides of the street and as the sides are not as heavily macadamized, it makes the street wear faster. This and laying the High Service water pipe on the south side, make that side of the street in a very bad con- dition.
15
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Mount Vernon Street
Has been put in good condition by lowering the sides and covering the centre with crushed stone, well rolled and gravelled
Teel Street.
Early in the spring work was resumed on this street. Its entire length has been graded so as to drain itself. It was first covered with st one from the High School grounds, then a layer of crushed stone to the depth of three inches was spread and over this a layer of gravel was spread, each layer being thoroughly rolled by the steam-roller. This makes a much needed improvement and it will be a long time before it will require any more expense except to clear the gutters. $1500 was expended on this street.
Water Street
From the railroad crossing to Russell street has been wid- ened to 40 feet, and is now completed. The grade has been lowered and a macadam road-bed has been made to conform to that part of the street, built last fall. This street speaks for itself and anyone travelling over it now can hardly real- ize that it is the narrow, rough and muddy street of a year ago. The largest part of the appropriation was expended upon the above named streets.
The following streets were patched and gravelled in many places :
Academy

Appleton
Draper avenue
Bartlett avenue

Sidewalks.
There have been 1200 yards of concrete walks laid at an expense of sixty cents per yard, the abutters paying one half. The walk on the north side of the avenue from near Teel street to Winter street has been lowered to conform to the grade of the centre of the street. When work was com- menced it was found that the loam had never been removed and was about twelve inches in depth. After excavating the loam and bringing to subgrade, there was a coat of broken rock from the High School grounds filled in and then cov- ered with a light coat of crushed stone, and over this was spread two inches of stone dust. The sidewalk on the west side of Mystic street, from the residence of Mr. J. S. Crosby to Mr. William Basset's line, was first covered over with a coat of fine crushed stone and rolled, and then two inches of stone dust was spread over that. The walk on the west side of Westminster avenue has been covered with stone dust. In many places walks have been coated over with stone dust and gravel. A macadam sidewalk costs less than a concrete and at certain times of the year makes a better walk. There has been 2833 feet of edge-stone laid this year, the abutters pay for the stone and the town teams and sets them.
17
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Drainage.
There has been 1300 feet of 18-inch drain pipe laid through the land of Mr. George H. Bartlett. 600 feet 24-inch pipe has been laid on Massachusetts avenue from near the railroad crossing, connecting with the 24-inch pipe laid along Mystic and Chestnut streets to the meadow, to Robbins Library with catch-basins, and a branch of 150 feet 20-inch pipe laid, from the 24-inch pipe, along Pleasant street, with catch basins on each side of the street. 150 feet 10-inch pipe has been laid on Winslow street, connecting with the drain laid along Mystic street, with two catch basins. From where the 24-inch pipe empties into the meadow there has been a ditch opened across the meadow to the line of the cemetery and along the cemetery to the brook. There has been an 18-inch pipe laid 100 feet along the avenue to Alewife Brook, with a suitable catch basin. The B. & M. railroad laid a 20-inch pipe under the railroad at Forest-street crossing, and to this a 1-foot pipe has been connected across Forest street, taking the water that flowed over the sidewalk on to the land of Mr. E. S. Farmer.
Watering Streets.
This has been done by the Highway department and now requires three double teams and one single at a cost of about $2300 a year. As $700 is raised by subscription it leaves $1600 to be taken from the Highway appropriation, there should be a separate appropriation made for watering the streets.
Offal and Ashes.
In the removal of offal and ashes the town is divided into two divisions. On Pleasant and Mystic streets and south of these streets the offal is removed twice a week, Monday and Friday, the ashes on Wednesday. North of Pleasant and Mystic streets the offal is removed on Tuesday and Saturday, the ashes on Thursday. 2

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS.
Steam Roller.
The steam roller used the past season was the O. S. Kelley make of Springfield, Ohio, and has given good satis- faction. It has been of great service, not only in picking and rolling, but has been used in plowing, pulling stumps and stones. The roller has been used 77 days, and $379.55 have been received from other towns and cities for its use.
Teams and Tools.
The department now has :-
13 horses,
1 jigger,
2 single road carts
3 double watering carts,
1 hay wagon,
2 single watering carts,
1 road machine,
4 double sleds,
1 ash wagon,
2 single sleds,
1 offal wagon,
5 double harness,
3 single harness,
5 double road carts,
1 derrick, picks,
shovels.
