Before using any patent article involving so much money, the town should be satisfied that it will not be made liable for damages from infringements or other causes.
As the work in both coal and pine tar concrete is not always equally well done, the town should oversee the work and reserve the right to reject and cause the removal of all work not done satisfactorily to the town authorities.
The condition of the sidewalks of the town being so bad, your com- mittee would urge that there be no further delay than is absolutely neces- sary, and recommend the immediate appropriation of eight thousand dollars, to be expended by the Selectmen in laying such walks as they shall deem best suited to the different streets, always remembering that a good sidewalk should protect from mud at all seasons of the year. Attention should be given first to the main thoroughfares leading to the centre of the village and to the railroad stations, laying it on one side of the street only, and, wherever it is practicable, on the south side of the street, that it may the better be kept free from snow and ice. A walk from Walnut street through Cypress and School streets, and Aspinwall avenue to the Episcopal Church, would render all the churches of the town accessible to the majority of the inhabitants.
Your committee recommend to the consideration of the town the appointment of a Superintendent of Streets, a surveyor, who shall act by authority and advice of the Board of Selectmen.
The expenses attending the investigations of your committee are $19.70.
E. I. THOMAS. JOHN C. ABBOTT. A. W. GODDARD. CHARLES DWIGHT.
Voted, To accept the foregoing report of the committee.

The meeting then nominated and chose for Moderator George F. Homer, and he took the chair.
Second Article taken up :
To see if the town will reconsider the vote passed by the town on the twenty-second day of July last, laying out a sewer from Tappan street to Muddy River.
Voted, That the vote passed on the twenty-second day of July last, laying out a sewer from Tappan street to Muddy River, is hereby reconsidered.
The Selectmen presented and read the following report, to wit :
REPORT.
At the town meeting held on the 22d of July last, the town accepted a sewer as laid out by the Selectmen, leading from Tappan street to Muddy River, and at the adjournment of said meeting money was appropriated for its construction. Before commencing work upon this sewer, the Selectmen were informed of a supposed informality in the proceedings which might possibly invalidate their action, or at least lead to litigation and unnecessary expense. Moreover, considerable opposition was devel- oped on the part of the owners of land through which said sewer was laid out, where the Selectmen were before lead to suppose they were to have the co-operation of these abutters. After considerable deliberation, your board concluded that it was inexpedient to prosecute the work in the face of such opposition, for, though such a sewer might be highly desirable if built with the co-operation of the abutters, a part of whom might justly be charged a portion of the cost, in view of the benefit to be derived therefrom, it did not seem of sufficient importance to the public to warrant the risk of litigation and extra costs, even if the alleged informality were not proved in court. Your board therefore concluded to abandon the former action and start anew.
A new hearing was called, the whole subject reviewed, and a portion of the sewer which seemed indispensable to the public welfare was relo- cated according to plans now submitted, making such a modification of the line as appeared desirable at its lower end. The line, as will be seen on the map, now lies principally within the location of the Boston, Hart- ford and Erie Railroad Company and that of the Brookline Branch of the Boston and Albany Railroad Company. The officers of the latter cor- poration conferred with us, and not only assented to the line of the sewer as now submitted, but cheerfully agreed to be assessed for such portion of the cost of constructing the sewer as might be decreed equitable. Your board therefore offer the following votes for the con- sideration of the town, viz. :
415
Special Meeting, September 27, 1869.
Ist. Voted, That the vote passed by the town on the 22d day of July last, under the Seventh Article in the warrant, accepting the sewer laid out by the Selectmen, from Tappan street to Muddy River, be now recon- sidered.
2d. Voted, That the appropriation made on the 15th day of August for the purpose of sewerage, be now applied by the Selectmen to the construction of the sewer now laid out along the railroad, and to the construction of such other sewers and in the streets as may be found necessary during the present year, in so far as such money may be needed for such purposes.
The probable cost of the sewer now laid out is estimated at $35,000 00 The cost of other sewers needed in sundry streets will prob-
ably amount to .
15,000 00
$50,000 00 JAMES BARTLETT, WILLIAM J. GRIGGS, EDWARD S. PHILBRICK, Selectmen of the Town of Brookline.
Voted, To accept the foregoing report.
Third Article taken up :
To see if the town will accept and allow a sewer as laid out and located by the Selectmen, from a point near the railroad bridge on Washington street, to an old channel near Muddy River.
The Selectmen presented the following report on the laying out of said sewer, to wit :
REPORT.
The Selectmen of the town of Brookline, after giving legal notice to all parties, corporations and interests known to them, of their intention to lay out, in whole or in part, a common sewer, leading from Tappan street to Muddy River, did, in pursuance of said notice, meet at their office in the Town Hall, on Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of August, A. D. 1869, at three of the clock in the afternoon, and after "hearing all persons and interests desiring to be heard in relation to the making of said sewer, and examining the proposed route of said sewer ; and again, by adjournment, on the sixteenth day of September, A. D. 1869, and all parties and interests known to them having been heard and examined, they proceeded and did lay out, in part, said common sewer, as follows, being described by the southerly line, to wit :
Beginning at a point 180 feet distant from the northwesterly corner of the southern abutment of the Washington street railroad bridge, said point being 94 feet distant from the northerly line of Boylston street, on lands of Thomas Quinlan, thence running easterly 180 feet to said corner of said abutment, crossing lands of said Thomas Quinlan, Thomas Quinlan, Jr., and M. W. Quinlan, the lands of the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad Company, and John H. Webber; thence in the same direction for a further distance of 500 feet to a point in the southerly boundary of

the lands of the Boston and Albany Railroad Company 23 feet southerly from the centre of the main track of the Brookline Branch railroad, crossing lands of said Boston and Albany Railroad Company and Dennis Mahoney ; thence easterly along the said southern boundary 299 feet; thence curving to the left on a radius of 960 feet for a further distance of 185 feet; thence curving to the left, following the southerly line of the location of said Brookline Branch railroad, on a radius of 2,917 feet for a further distance of 674 feet; thence, still following said southerly line, curving to the left on a radius of 2,375 feet, parallel to and 55 feet distant from the centre of the track of said Brookline Branch railroad passing through Aspinwall avenue, for a further distance of 334 feet ; thence still along said southerly line a further distance of 334 feet; thence still along said southerly line a further distance of 100 feet to a point distant 462 feet from said centre of said track; thence easterly parallel with and 46} feet distant from said centre of said track 454 feet; thence curving to the right on a radius of 80 feet for a distance of 60 feet to, an old channel near Muddy River.
The northerly side of said sewer is parallel with and fifteen feet dis- tant from the above-described southerly side for a distance of 680 feet from the above-named point of beginning; thence diverging to a width of 20 feet from said southerly line in a further distance of 299 feet; thence 20 feet from said southerly line to the end.
The location of said sewer is in accordance with plans of the same as made by E. S. Philbrick, civil engineer, dated September 16th, 1869, examined and approved by the Selectmen and filed in the office of the Town Clerk on the sixteenth day of September aforesaid.
The Selectmen have considered the subject of damages by the laying out of said sewer, and in consideration of the benefit to the abutters on the line of said sewer, they have made no awards for damages. And said sewer so laid out, located and described, is hereby reported to the town for acceptance, and when so accepted, allowed and recorded, is forever to be known as a public sewer.
JAMES BARTLETT, WILLIAM J. GRIGGS, EDWARD S. PHILBRICK, Selectmen of the Town of Brookline.
