SCHOOLS.
I refer you for information concerning the schools to the reports of the school committee and the superintendent.
WATER DEPARTMENT.
It is gratifying to note a steady decrease in the yearly de- ficit of this department. Its expenses for the past year, includ- ing maintenance, service and meter account, rebates, and in- terest on bonds, were $77,319.18, an excess of $9,572.56 over the total receipts, exclusive of the monies, $2,659 in amount, re- ceived for meter rents. The deficit in 1887 was $11,609.79 and in 1886 $12,692.91.
BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Board of Health has well discharged its difficult and somewhat delicate duties. The change in its working staff, necessary because the board required the whole time of its agent, resulted in the retirement of an extremely faithful official. Under its new organization the board has been found equal to its work. The appropriation for the year was $4,500, of which $1,404.97 was transferred to the treasury with other unexpended balances on the 31st December.
' PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Again I refer you for detailed information to the reports which contain it. It is interesting to know that there are now in the Library 28,371 volumes, of which 1,960 were added in
18
1888. The circulation at Newton was 49,253, and at the other villages, through the agencies, 54,747, making a total circulation of 104,000 in the City.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
The chronic trouble which pursues this department proceeds from causes some of which are hardly within the control of the committee in charge. The demands of the citizens for work which should be done are far beyond the power of the appro- priation to satisfy them. Never having served on the com- mittee, it is with some hesitation that I make any suggestion for improvement in the methods employed. I am satisfied, however, that the chairman and members of this committee will never accomplish satisfactory results until they plan out their - whole work early in the year, reserving enough from month to month to meet the so-called extraordinary expenses, which are nevertheless as regular in their recurrence as the snows of winter, the floods of spring and the storms of summer and autumn. Furthermore, the committee is too large for the duties, mainly executive, which come upon it. The efficiency of an executive board is apt to be in inverse ratio to the size of its membership. The principle of ward representation which prevails in the selection of the committee seems to me also to stand in the way of good results for all the people. The sentiment that elevates ward and village interests is strong among us, but it should not be unduly fostered. It should have no place, I think, in determining the selection of committees. It is more necessary on the highway committee than anywhere else in the City Government that the individual member should stand out solely as the representative of all the people of all the villages. I strongly recommend that this committee be reduced to a membership of at most five when you adopt or frame rules for 1889.
STREET LIGHTING.
The question of settling upon a satisfactory general plan
19
for street-lighting, which has at times engaged the attention of the City Government during nearly two years past, will come before you for final solution. While I have no system to recommend or to criticise, I believe that the time is ripe for the extension of any good system to those parts of Newton which, being thickly settled, are now lighted by nothing more adequate to the need of the citizens than dim and dingy oil lamps. Whatever you decide upon will probaly outline the policy of the City for many years to come, and I strongly urge that the villages of the Upper and Lower Falls and Chestnut Hill be included in any broad general plan that you may adopt. I thoroughly approve of the suggestion of my predecessor that arrangements be made for lighting the streets on all dark or stormy nights without regard to the so-called " moon schedule." I invite your favorable attention to the numerous and pressing petitions for the location of new lights.
POLICE.
The last City Council has provided in its appropriation for two additional patrolmen and for the introduction into Newton of a police signal system. At first somewhat doubting whether this system was so needed in a community like Newton, where the beats are longer and the dangers to be apprehended from professional criminals less than in larger and more compactly populated cities, as to justify us in imposing the additional bur- den of its cost upon the taxpayers, I have become a convert to its high utility after investigating its operation in neighboring cities. It not only controls the members of the force, but it gives them a moral support of great value in the assurance of ready assistance at the first menace of danger.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The efficiency of this department was put to a practical test on the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 27, by sounding the auxiliary alarm in the High School building. You have doubt-
20
less read in the public press the result of the experiment. It was extremely gratifying to me that the School Board should have this opportunity of proving the discipline and alacrity of the force The forthcoming report of the chief of the depart- ment will contain recommendations for increasing the efficiency of the force, to which I invite your careful consideration. The loss by fire for the year has been less than $14,000, a loss more than covered by the insurance.
CLAFLIN GUARD.
This organization has maintained its high reputation for efficiency and discipline. Its muster-roll is now practically full.
POOR AND ALMSHOUSE.
For information concerning the poor of Newton, I refer you to the annual report of the Board of Overseers. The time has come for changing the location of the Poor Farm. Al- though the farm is extremely well kept and the inmates under excellent discipline, sentimental objections too strong to be rea- soned away will always make it an incubus upon the develop- ment of the neighborhood in which it is situated. Th arm is only four minutes walk from Waban Station, occupying high land well adapted for building purposes and destined one day to support a comparatively large population. I think therefore that the question of its removal to some more remote situation should engage your immediate attention.
REGISTRATION.
The registration of Newton reached a total of 3,868 before the State election and 3,895 before the city election. The votes cast were 3,605 at the former and 2,838 at the latter. 182 women registered, of whom 150 voted. The State law per- mits the erection of an additional voting precinct in a ward containing more than five hundred registered voters. We have
21
exceeded the necessary limit in every ward of our city. I therefore recommend the establishment of new precincts in Newton Lower Falls, Newton Highlands and Nonantum.
DEPARTMENT APPROPRIATIONS.
The appropriations for the year have been exceeded in nine departments of expenditure out of twenty-eight. In some cases the excess is slight and in some due to unavoidable causes not foreseen when the appropriation was made up; in some. however, it should not have occurred. I again urge upon you the importance of so planning your year's work as to keep the expenditures, which, as members of committees, you recom- mend for the various departments, well within the appropria- tions therefor.
Gentlemen of the City Council :
There needs, I am sure, no word from me to remind you that the people of Newton, in selecting you for their municipal service, have conferred upor you a high honor and have com- mitted to your charge responsibilities correspondingly grave. The burden can be rightly borne only in performing disinter- . estedly the duties of the service, looking over and beyond demands of the individual that stand in the way of the general well-being, remembering that " every good servant does not all commands."
