SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
Citizens of the Town of Wilmington :
With the close of the year, we submit to you a state- ment of the past twelve months' affairs, together with an account of the several departments.
In regard to the expense incured for removing snow, the appropriation for the same was inadequate, but by an act of the Legislature of 1898, a tax was levied upon electric railroads according to the number of miles of track laid in the public streets of the town; the same to be expended upon the streets in construction, improvements, or the removal of snow. So we were enabled to make up for the deficiency by using a portion of said tax.
The appropriation for repairs of public buildings was not sufficient to meet the necessary expenditures, owing to an unthought of expense at the Chestnut street school- house. No out-houses were provided and we were obliged to supply the want; also to build a fence where the wall had been removed for use in building the cellar, and private land laid common. Also to provide some means of getting to the cellar for wood different to the only entrance provided, viz :- From the outside by a bulk- head located on the side of the building and unprotected from the water which fell from the roof, there being no gutters. We have provided an entrance to the cellar from the school-room, which is very neat and convenient and as
40
a whole, the school-house is in our opinion the most light, cheerful, and best arranged small school building in town. But we suggest a small outlay upon the grounds and the placing of gutters and conductors upon the build- ing, thereby securing the same result with less expense than concreting a strip on the sides of the building would cost.
The balance of the special appropriation for furnishing, etc., which was unexpended, we transferred to help make up the deficiency in this department.
Under the Miscellaneous Report will be seen an expend- iture for a new well at the Chestnut street school grounds. An analysis of the water and an examination of the grounds was made in 1898, by an agent of the State Board of Health, and a report that the water was impure and not fit for drinking purposes, submitted to the Town Board of Health. No action on the matter having been taken, the Board of 1899 had the well cleaned in a thorough manner, and a second analysis of the water taken. The report received was that it was worse than the first sample, and that the well be abandoned and its use discontinued, necessitating the digging of another well which was done and a generous supply of good water has been secured.
The Highways of the town are in good order, and the work of the past year has been well performed. In con- nection with this department we wish to say that at a hearing before the State Highway Commission at Cam- bridge, the town was represented by its Selectmen, who presented its claim for recognition in the awards to be made this Spring. We are not sanguine of success in our effort, as we are one town among so many, but we went by the divine maxim "ask and thou shalt receive."
The schools of the town have been maintained within the appropriation and a small balance remains unex- pended.
41
The expenditure for books and supplies is increased over previous years.
The expenditures for poor will be found under the Report of the Overseers.
As several lots have been sold in the new part of the cemetery we would suggest that the appropriation be increased and the fence on Wildwood street be continued, so as to give protection to the lots which have been sold and improved.
In connection with the appropriation for repairs of public buildings we would suggest that the same be increased. The east and west school-houses should be painted, and although we do not advocate the expenditure of much money upon the Town Hall, some needed and necessary repairs should be made. .
We suggest an increase in the appropriation for Town Officers, as the present year will be one of much labor to the assessors, and although it may sound strange to some, the term " general valuation year " is not recognized by the Tax Department'of the State, and after the labor of this year is completed, and a proper start made, the work must be performed annually.
We suggest an increase in the appropriation for Printing, as the assessors valuation of this year must be printed.
The other departments will be found under their proper titles.
A word in conclusion in regard to the financial condition of the Treasury. By the Treasurer's Report you will see that the temporary loan was reduced three thousand dollars from last year, but still we have seventeen thousand dollars borrowed. This is caused by the lax methods which have been employed in the collection of taxes. And although it may not be evident without careful considera- tion, it is a fact, nevertheless, that the Treasury must be run to a greater extent than has been the practice, upon
42
our own resources, rather than on borrowed capital. The table of assets exhibited yearly has contained several hundred dollars which are worthless; the same being caused in part by the method above referred to and by others which will be found treated under the Assessors' Report.
Respectfully submitted, JAMES E. KELLEY, WM. E. GOWING, CHARLES J. SARGENT, Selectmen of Wilmington ..
