Appearances indicate at present that in 1909 there will be increased application for Town aid.


After Dec. 1, 1908, the State will assume the care and ex- pense of feeble minded and the epileptic.


The financial statement attached gives further detail.


SUPPRESSION OF GYPSY AND BROWN-TAIL MOTHS. The work of this department this year has differed little in charac- ter from that of the year previous. Tanglefooting, burlaping, spraying, treating nests and cutting and burning have all been applied as conditions required.


The gypsy moth has been less in evidence during the year as is indicated from the fact that comparatively little creosote was necessary in treating their nests. Two gallons only were needed for the street trees.


The brown-tail moth, however, has largely increased and


62


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


much of the time during the fall was taken in cutting off and burning their nests. Swarms of these moths were blown into the Town in August by favorable winds from adjacent or nearby territory that was badly infested. This is likely to happen as long as said territory remains uncleaned.


The satisfactory condition of streets, public lands and private residential estates afford more time and expense for thinning out woodland regions. The region between Eastern Avenue and the Belmont line and the woodland near Robbins Road and Oakland Avenue have received special attention. Another year this work will be continued in other parts of the Heights section, and woodlands in the eastern portion of the town will also receive special consideration.


With the woodlands properly thinned out and cleaned it would appear that spraying would be the mainstay in hold- ing our town in satisfactory condition.


The additional allotment by the State of $1,000, made in November, enabled the Board to purchase from the Frost In- secticide Company one of their best and most powerful Wood- land Sprayers, the two Olds Sprayers on hand being included in part payment.


From the many returns from notices sent out by Supt. Bradley, we are glad to record the general confidence of private owners in the character of the work done by this de- partment. The complimentary references made by State Officials as to the work is also very gratifying.


Occasionally an owner feels aggrieved, if charged for work done on his premises by the Town, after the owner has had said premises cleaned.


It must be remembered, however, that whoever does the work, it must be done to the saisfaction of the Local Super- intendent; and that if, on inspection, the work is not satis- factory some one must go over the premises again. If this is not attended to by the owner then the Town is obliged to do it. This is where the additional charge comes in.


No charge is made for the inspection of the premises made by the Local Superintendent.


The Board regrets occasion for duplicating the work and causing extra expense, but it is the duty of the department to see that the premises are properly cleaned.


It must be remembered, too, that an inexperienced person may clean premises and believe the work thoroughly done while in reality it may be rather poorly done. An expert in the business knows just where to look for nests and how to treat them most effectively.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


The policy of the Board in reducing the number of men to the minimum and adding to the number as occasion requires has been continued. The result is, our employees are generally experienced men, most of them having worked for the Town three years or more.


At this writing the fall and winter work on the streets is completed, and the work on the public lands completed, with the exception of finishing in Menotomy Rocks Park. The fall and winter work on private premises both below and above the snow line is well advanced.


The amount of tanglefooting and burlaping needed in the spring is to be decided. Spraying, however, will be extended and emphasized.


In suppressing gypsy and brown-tail moths this year, $13,467.26 has been expended, being $217.48 more than last year. For detail see the financial statement attached, giving location and character of the work.


Since May 8, 1905, when the present law went into effect, over $52,000 have been expended, of which about $27,700 have been reimbursed by the State.


Supt. Wm. H. Bradley has continued as Local Superinten- dent, and James F. Higgins as clerk.


The Town is to be congratulated on having a Local Super- intendent so able and efficient. The Town holds high rank in the work of suppressing gypsy and brown-tail moths.


The barren appearance of many of our hills and valleys is a sad reminder of the additional cost in the extermination of these pests.


It is hoped a new growth of trees and shrubbery will follow at an early date, and the former beauties of our Town be at least partially restored.


The liability insurance, heretofore carried by the Town in the work of suppressing moths, was discontinued, as in the opinion of the Attorney General, the Town is not liable for damages caused by work in this department.


TOWN FIRE INSURANCE. As was stated in last year's re- port the Selectmen petitioned the New England Insurance Exchange for a reduction in the rate of fire insurance. The matter is still pending, as the revaluation of property has not yet been completed. The reapprisal of buildings has been filed, but that of contents only partially taken. The insurance carried, therefore, at the present time is the same as the year previous, namely, $313,000 on buildings and $81,000 on con- tents. This does not include insurance on the addition to the Locke Schoolhouse, as insurance on said addition was placed


64


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


by the building committee, neither does it include liability or boiler insurance.


LIABILITY INSURANCE. At the Town Meeting, held April 29, 1908, the Town appropriated $400 to pay for liability insur- ance covering work in departments to be designated by the Selectmen.


The insurance was placed with the Maryland Casualty Com- pany, covering public and employers liability policies. As the appropriation was not sufficient to cover all the departments desired, it was placed on certain work in highway, sewer, and water divisions. The policies expire May 23, 1909.


BOILER INSURANCE. The three years policy, covering $50,000 on 17 boilers, expires Feb. 1, 1909. This insurance is with the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company.


The boilers are located in the several schoolhouses, town hall, library, stone crusher, steam roller and steam drill.


PURIFICATION OF ALEWIFE BROOK AND ADJACENT AREAS. At the close of the year, 1907, the Metropolitan Park Commis- sioners were perfecting and completing plans and securing options and examining titles on lands for the purpose of sub- mitting detailed plans to Mayors of cities and Selectmen of towns for their approval or disapproval.


On February 20, 1908, the authorities of Cambridge, Somer- ville, Arlington, and Belmont met the Metropolitan Park Com- missioners for conference, relative to plans and work in con- nection with the Alewife Brook region, as contemplated under Chap. 529, Acts of 1907, and conferences and correspondence already held.


On February 24, 1908, the Board of Selectmen approved of said plans, and a formal letter to this effect was signed by the full Board and forwarded to the Metropolitan Park Com- missioners.


On October 27, 1908, at a special meeting of the Selectmen, the Board concurred in a taking, under Chap. 288, Sect. I, Acts of 1894, for Alewife Brook Parkway, and made in con- nection with the Alewife Brook improvements, said taking being for the purpose of acquiring the land necessary to carry out said improvements.


This concurrence was subscribed to by the Board within the time limit from the taking.


Copies of said takings and plans relative to the the same, and of the concurrence by cities and towns interested, are on file at this office.


Dredging and construction work has already begun, and an-


65


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


other year will doubtless see great activity towards carrying out the purposes for which $125,000 has already been appro- pr .. iated. This work is under the direction of the Metropolitan Park Commisioners who will install parkway construction in connection with the purification of the brook and adjacent areas contemplated by the State Board of Health.


The Board has reason to believe that when this work is com- pleted the Town will be greatly pleased with the benefits accruing therefrom.


PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The torch-like fixtures with lights on the front, the railings on the steps, the insetting of the front doors, and the necessary repairs and additions to the heating plant in the Town House, together with repair of the roof, called for the extra appropriation granted in the November town meeting.


Some of these changes were required by statute, to which attention was called by the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company in their inspection report in July.


The heater in the Robbins House received necessary and thorough repairs, drawing somewhat heavily on the income. Repairs on the heating plant and on the plumbing, together with the renewal of concrete gutters on both sides of the road- way, drew very largely on the income of the Summer Street estate.


Very little expense seemed necessary for the Medford Street estate.


All of these buildings at present appear to be in fair condi- tion, requiring nothing more than ordinary repair.


CONTRACTS FOR FURNISHING COAL TO TOWN DEPARTMENTS. Proposals for furnishing the several departments with coal were invited, and five were received.


The contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, namely Peirce & Winn Co. Their prices were as follows:


Lackawana D. & H., egg, stove and furnace $6.24 per ton


Honey Brook egg, or its equivalent 6.74 66 66


Lackawana D. & H., stove in 1/2-ton lots 7.10 66


Georges Creek Cumberland (best quality) 4.43 66


The several departments furnished were the schools, library, water department, highway department, fire department, and outside poor department.


The total amount of coal covered 536 tons egg, 15 tons fur- nace, 123 tons stove, and 215 tons bituminous,-total, 889 tons.


No complaints have as yet been made as to the quality, and it is assumed that it is satisfactory.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


PRINTING THE ANNUAL TOWN REPORT. The contract for printing the annual town report for the year 1908 was awarded John F. Biggs & Co., of Boston. Mr. Biggs is a resident of the town, and was with J. A. Cummings' Printing Co. for many years, which company printed our annual reports for several years with very good satisfaction.


It is hoped that the annual report will be ready for distribu- tion at an earlier date than heretofore, and special efforts are being made to this end.


JURY LIST. This list was made up in accordance with the law as amended by Chap. 348 of the Acts of 1907, and copies thereof delivered to the Town Clerk and clerks and assistant clerks of the Supreme, Judicial and Superior Courts. While it was not necessary to make up the list before July Ist, the Board made it up in season to be printed in the annual report for 1907. If the same policy is pursued, the list for 1909 will appear in the annual report for 1908.


MISCELLANEOUS. I. It reflects very creditably on the Col- lector's Department, and the Board is glad to mention the fact :-


(a) That all taxes on property and polls have been collected up to Jan. 1, 1908.


(b) That all water taxes up to Jan. 1, 1909 have been collected.


(c) That all unapportioned sewer, sidewalk, and bet- terment assessments that were due up to Jan. I, 1909, have been collected.


No previous year appears to have so good a record as the above.


The tax levy committed to the Collector of Taxes for 1908, including additional commitments and reassessments, was $222,748.95, of which only $62,657.58 remains unpaid.


2. R. W. LeBaron, Inspector of Wires, is still authorized to cut wires in emergency cases, and in his absence, Thomas O. D. Urquhart, Chief of Police, has the same authority.


3. To know what it cost the Town to administer all of its affairs in full one must look beyond the mere tax levy, or tax rate :-


For instance, the tax levy committed to the Collector of Taxes, this year, was $219,838.97, while over $350,000 was expended.


Some of the sources from which the money was taken to meet this expenditure, over and above what was contributed by tax levy, appears to have been as follows :


67


SELECTMEN'S REPORT.


$16,176.10 from street railway taxes for Highway Department.


14,497.57 from corporation and bank taxes.


II,033.69 from unexpended balances of 1907.


635.56 from dog tax, for the use of the library.


5,000.00 (approximately) from the various trust funds.


If it were not for such receipts the tax rate would be very much higher.


The $350,000 above, includes expenditures in Water De- partment, and for extension and construction purposes, for which money borrowed was available.


4. The borrowing capacity of the Town is $91,902.74, which is less than it has been since 1905. These figures, however, take 10 account of the amount in the sinking fund.


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 insufficient weights and measures is to be carried out, and under the new regime this department of Sealer be- comes more important than ever.


It behooves the Selectmen therefore 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 I. Whoever, himself or by his servant or agent or as servant or agent of another person, is guilty of giving false or insufficient 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 hereby repealed. ( Approved May 8, 1907.)
