JAMES REID, Town Clerk.
SELECTMEN'S GENERAL REPORT.
FOR FISCAL YEAR OF 1899-ENDING DEC. 31st.
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Reading :
Under appropriate headings we herewith submit our annual report :
STREET DEPARTMENT.
In this department we have, so far as possible, followed the vote of the last annual Town meeting.
We have laid out and constructed the continuation of Haven Street, formerly known as Howard Place.
Scotland Road and the extension of Prospect Street have been completed.
Grand Street has been extended to Lowell Street, but could not be completed for lack of funds.
We have laid out and constructed Harriman Avenue.
Haven Street has been paved with granite blocks for about 200 feet, and we suggest that another appropriation be made to continue the paving the coming season.
Several new streets have been asked for, reports of which will be presented at the annual meeting.
In October, work was commenced by the Massachusetts High- way Commission on the section of state road in this town covered by their appropriation of $5000; work was discontinued on this road in December, but we have assurances that same will be resumed
16
in the early Spring, when we shall have a fine piece of road, and we hope, in fact have assurances, there will be more of a similar kind from the same source.
Under the Street Railway Act of 1898 Reading received from the Street Railways operating in this town $728.17, amount due, account of the Franchise and Excise Tax imposed under that Act; $465.81 we have applied on removal of Snow and Highway ac- counts, as provided in the Act referred to above, leaving a balance of $262.36 available for use in 1900.
REMARKS AND SUGGESTIONS.
We would again call your attention to the fact that good road material is very scarce, and in order to keep our streets in proper repair, some means must be devised to procure proper material for that purpose.
LAW SUITS AGAINST THE TOWN.
Cases of Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Account of Henry H. Nowell) vs. Town of Reading, and Ipswich Mills vs. Town of Reading are still pending in Court, in charge of the Town's attorneys, and we have nothing new to report.
Grace Mckay vs. Town of Reading ; Margaret Allen vs. Town of Reading ; on the two latter cases we shall ask for your authority at the annual meeting.
In suit of Sarah F. Johnson vs. Town of Reading we have settled same in full by payment of two hundred dollars.
PEOPLES GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY.
The above named Company has submitted to this Board a proposition, whereby they offer to sell to the Town of Reading for $9000 that part of their plant and franchise which they claim to have in the Town of Reading, and we have inserted in the Warrant for the coming annual meeting an article which will bring the mat- ter before you for your consideration.
17
Detailed statements of the finances of the several departments are presented on the succeeding pages; they have been carefully compiled and accurately transcribed. We submit them for your approval.
