COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF THE DISTRICT POLICE. STATE HOUSE.
BOSTON, August 1, 1907.

In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 450 of the Acts of the year 1904, License is hereby granted to the inhabitants of the the Town of Arlington for a Public Hall, situated in the second story of the building known as Town Hall and situated on Massa- chusetts ave., in the Town of Arlington, County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, from the first day of August 1907 to the first day of August 1908.

JOPHANUS H. WHITNEY, Chief of the Massachusetts District Police.
PUBLIC LANDS. The Town House Site is one of the beauty spots adjacent to the highway. Ornamental shrubbery has been set at
78
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
the four corners and the back part of the lot, a becoming fence erected on the line of the Robbins Estate, the grass mowed and the grounds otherwise cared for. A donation of $46.29 from the Arlington Heights Tree Protective Association was thankfully re- ceived and expended for shrubbery in accordance with the wish of said association.
The grass lot east of the Town House has received the same care as formerly, the grass being cut and the shrubbery cared for.
WELLINGTON PARK. At the annual March Town meeting a gift of $800 was received from William E. Wellington, of Dubuque, Iowa, to be expended by the Selectmen and the Town Treasurer in the improvement of the area at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Lowell Street, including the erection thereon of a memorial tablet in bronze, suitably inscribed, in memory of the parents of Mr. Wellington. This amount with an additional sum of $400 given by the donor has been expended for the purposes in- tended. The area so improved, and now known as “ Wellington Park," is a beautiful feature along the highway. The lay-out in- cluding the rockery, flag-pole, tablet, and grass plot all protected by edgestone is a credit both to the donor and the Town. It is a noble sentiment that prompts our sons to memorialize in permanent form their native hearth.
NEW VAULT FOR THE DEPOSIT AND SAFEKEEPING OF TOWN RECORDS. In March last the Town appropriated $1300 for the con- struction of an additional and much needed vault for the safe deposit of Town Records, books, documents, etc., the same to be expended under the direction of the Selectmen. This vault has been com- pleted and is now in commission. It is located on the easterly side of the Town Hall Building and nicely fitted with steel cabinet. The vault opens from the Town Clerk's office and is mainly for his accomodation, although space is allowed for the use of the Treasurer and Selectmen until required by the Town Clerk. The Commis- sioner of Public Records is very particular in the enforcement of the law relative to the safe deposit of public records and the Town is liable to considerable fine if obedience to that law is not followed. The Trustees of the Robbins Library have kindly given the use of a basement room in said library building for the deposit of books, papers, documents not in immediate use, and of duplicate plans, .catalogues, etc. This room is now being fitted up and will afford needed protection to many books and documents otherwise exposed, beside greatly relieving the congestion in some of our present vault room. No doubt valuable papers and documents have been destroyed in the past because of lack of room for safekeeping.
In the equipment of the new vault the Town Clerk rendered valuable assistance.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
THE 100THI ANNIVERSARY OF THE INCORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF ARLINGTON. The celebration of the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Arlington took place June 1. 1907, under the direction of a special committee appointed by the Town. A full and detailed report of the proceedings of the celebration will be made by said committee, and the same published in pamphlet form for general distribution.
TABLET FOR REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS. In March, 1906, the Town voted $28 for a tablet to be inserted in the monument located in the old cemetery on Pleasant Street, and erected to soldiers killed April 19, 1775, the same to be expended under the direction of the Selectmen.
This work has been done. The tablet is of marble and the in- scription as follows :

PILGRIM MEMORIAL MONUMENT. In accordance with the vote of the Town passed in March, 1907, that the Town contribute a memorial stone for the Pilgrim Memorial Monument now building at Provincetown, said stone to mark the date of settlement of Arl- ington, the Board report that such a stone has been furnished and in due time will become a part of said monument. The inscription on the stone reads as follows :
-
Menotomy,
West Cambridge, 1630
Arlington,
BOILER INSPECTIONS. There are seventeen steam boilers owned by the Town and situated in the several school houses, Town Hall, Public Library, stone crusher, steam roller and steam drill. A liability insurance on all of these boilers is placed with the Hart- ford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company. The law
80
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
requires every boiler to be inspected internally and externally by proper authorities at least once in each year.
The Board sends copies of the Company's inspections report to. the department interested in order that the requirements in said reports may be promptly carried out. The law is justly very ex- acting in its requirements toward safeguarding all persons in danger from boiler explosions.
CONTRACT FOR FURNISHING COAL TO TOWN DEPARTMENTS. Ten different parties were invited to bid for furnishing coal to Town departments. Four proposals were received and the contract was. awarded to the lowest bidder, namely, Peirce & Winn Company. The prices were $6.19 per ton for egg and stove; $4.73 for Georges- Creek Cumberland ; $7.00 for stove to be delivered in one-half ton lots ; $6.70 for Honey Brook Lehigh, or $6.19 for Reading Lehigh egg. All to be delivered into bins according to specifications.
'T'he total amount of coal furnished as above was 637 tons of hard and 315 tons of soft coal.
CONTRACT FOR PRINTING TOWN REPORTS. In answer to invita- tion several proposals were received for printing the annual Town report. The contract was awarded to J. A. Cummings Printing Company who have printed said reports several times before, the work being very satisfactorily done.
JURY LIST. In a communication from Town Counsel Hardy, he says, "I wish to call the attention of your Board to the change in the law relative to juries and jury service by Chapter 348 of the Acts of the year 1907. The words "January and February," in Section 4, Chapter 176 of the Revised Laws are stricken out and the words " Before the first day of July" inserted. Section 5 of Chapter 178 of the Revised Laws, relative to the posting of lists and the submission of the same for revision and acceptance, to the Town meeting has been repealed and in place thereof there has been inserted Section 5 of Chapter 347 of the Acts of 1907, which reads as follows : Jury lists prepared as above provided shall, prior to the first day of August of each year, be printed with the address and occupation of each juror, and a copy thereof shall be delivered to the Mayor and Selectmen and to the Clerk of the City or Town to which such list relates, and to the clerks and sssistant clerks of the Supreme Judicial and Superior Courts in the county in which such City or Town is situated, to be by said clerks and assistant clerks kept for the use of said clerk."
Section 9 of Chapter 176 of the Revised Laws, providing that " the list with the occupation of each juror shall be printed in the annual report " is still in force.
Although it is not necessary for your Board to make up the list before July 1st, I should advise its being done at once and that the
81
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
list so made be published in the annual Town report which is now in the hands of the printer, otherwise the list cannot be published until the annual report of next year.
MAD DOGS. The order passed by the Selectmen Dec. 29, 1906 at the suggestion of Dr. Austin Peters, chief of the Cattle Bureau, and Dr. L. L. Peirce, our inspector of animals, to the effect that any and all dogs within the limits of the Town of Arlington shall be muzzled, or restrained from running at large, from said date to the first day of April, 1907, has been carried out. The occasion of this order was the extensive prevalence of rabies in the eastern part of the Commonwealth. On April 1st there appeared to be no necessity of extending the time covered by the order.
The return on the warrant issued showed that 19 dogs had been killed in accordance with said order.
SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Chapter 534 of the Acts of 1907, provides for the appointment by the Governor of the Commonwealth of a Commissioner of Weights and Measures.
From circulars and pamphlets issued by said Commissioner it is evident that a more vigorous enforcement of the laws relating to the sealing of weights and measures, and the giving of false and insuffi- cient weights and measures is to be carried out, and under the new regime this department of Sealer becomes more important than ever.
It behooves the Selectmen therefor to see that the local Sealer fully performs his duties in the premises.
The act relative to giving false weight, etc., is as follows :
CHAPTER 394 ACTS OF 1907.
AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE PENALTY FOR GIVING FALSE WEIGHT OR MEASURE.
Be it enacted etc., as follows :
SECTION 1. Whoever, himself or by his servant or agent or as servant or agent of another person, is guilty of giving false or insuf- ficient weight or measure shall for a first offence be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars, for a second offence by a fine of not more than two hundred dollars, and for a subsequent offence by a fine of fifty dollars and by imprisonment for not less than thirty nor more than ninety days.
SEC. 2. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith are here by repealed. ( Approved May 8, 1907.)
RAILROAD CROSSINGS AT WHITTEMORE STREET AND AVON PLACE. At the request of the owner of a large tract of land south of the Boston & Maine Railroad tracks, and adjacent thereto, the Select-
82
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
men deeming it advisable, petitioned the Railroad Commissioners to abolish the crossings at the foot of Whittemore St. and Avon Place. The matter is under advisement by said Commissioners.
MISCELLANEOUS. R. W. LeBaron, Inspector of Wires, has been designated by the Selectmen as the person authorized to cut wires in emergency cases, and in his absence Thomas O. D. Urquhart, chief of Police, has the same authority.
