EEPORT  OF  THE  SELECTMEN. 


The  undersigned,  Selectmen,  Overseers  of  the 
Poor,  Board  of  Health,  and  Surveyors  of  Highways, 
at  the  close  of  the  third  year  of  their  official  duties, 
would  respectfully  submit  the  Twenty-Ninth  Annual 
Heport  of  the  Expenditures  and  Receipts  of  the 
Town  of  Dorchester,  for  the  year  ending  January 
31st,  1867,  and  also  oifer  such  explanations  and 
suggestions  as  to  them  seem  proper. 

e       Schools. 

The  expenditures  for  the  maintenance  of  schools 
have  much  exceeded  the  amount  appropriated,  includ- 
ing the  income  from  school  property.  The  reasons 
will  be  fully,  and,  we  doubt  not,  satisfactorily 
explained  by  the  School  Committee  in  their  report,  all 
expenditures  on  account  of  schools  being  under  the 
direction  of  that  Committee. 

Poor  iis^  the  Almshouse. 

In  the  early  part  of  the  year,  Mr.  John  Keen,  then 
superintendent,  resigned  his  position,  and  it  was  a 
source  of  anxiety  to  us  to  know  how  to  fill  the 
vacancies  of  superintendent  and  matron  thus  made,  by 
those  who  were  fitted  by  experience  and  temperament 


for  those  important  trusts.  We  are  glad  to  be  able  to 
report  that,  by  securing  the  services  of  Capt.  Charles 
Spear  and  his  wife,  the  present  superintendent  and 
matron,  we  have  our  anxieties  removed,  and  we  feel 
that  the  care  of  and  attention  to  the  inmates,  although 
very  much  increased  while  the  alterations  were  being 
made  in  the  almshouse,  have  not  been  abated,  nor  has 
the  general  comfort  of  the  occupants  suffered  by  the 
change. 

Capt.  Spear,  as  a  superintendent  of  workmen  on 
the  highways,  in  his  care  of  stock,  and  as  an  adviser 
in  repairing  streets,  has  given  us  most  complete 
satisfaction. 

It  has  been  our  endeavor  to  make  the  almshouse  a 
comfortable  home  for  those  of  our  people  who  are 
necessitated  to  live  there  ;  we  believe,  making  due 
allowance  for  age  and  infirmities,  that  it  is  as  happy  a 
home  as  a  majority  of  those  in  the  town.  The  alter- 
ation made  in  the  building  has  added  ten  comfortable 
sleeping  rooms,  and  a  large  sitting-room  or  hall,  which 
may  be  used  as  a  chapel  for  religious  services  on 
Sundays,  clergymen  of  our  town,  and  other  persons, 
having  kindly  ofiered  to  ofiiciate. 

The  general  health  of  the  inmates  has  been  good 
the  past  3^ear.  But  one  death  has  occurred;  that  of  a 
person  who  was  taken  there  when  quite  sick  with 
consumption.  The  gratitude  expressed  by  him  for 
the  kind  attentions  he  received  from  the  superintend- 
ent and  the  matron,  and  his  oft-repeated  wish  that 
he  had  come  sooner,  gave  us  the  pleasant  assurance 
that  the  comfort  and  welfare  of  the  inmates  are  well 


attended  to  by  those  in  charge,  and  that  our  alms- 
house is  not  the  much-to-be-dreaded  last  resort  which 
the  poor  and  needy  often  think  it  to  be.  •  The  present 
number  of  inmates  is  seventeen;  admitted  during  the 
year,  six;  discharged,  eight. 

One  female  was  sent  to  the  institution  from  the  jail 
at  Dedham,  under  the  provisions  of  chapter  178,  sec- 
tion 16,  General  Statutes,  whose  sickness  was  a 
source  of  considerable  trouble  and  expense.  We 
expect  the  county  will  pay  the  expenses  incurred  for 
nursing  and  the  physician's  bill,  in  addition  to  the 
compensation  named  in  the  law  before  mentioned. 

The  number  of  persons  furnished  temjDorarily  with 
food  and  lodging  the  past  year  is  four  hundred  and 
fourteen.  The  number  seems  large,  but  we  still  feel, 
as  was  stated  in  a  former  report,  that  the  town  can 
better  afford  to  lodge  and  feed  such  persons  than  to 
turn  them  away  to  annoy  our  citizens  by  begging 
food  and  shelter.  Second  or  third  comers  of  this 
class  will  be  complained  of  as  vagrants  or  vagabonds, 
(unless  they  can  give  satisfactory  excuses,)  under  the 
provisions  of  chapter  235,  Acts  of  1866.  The  cost  of 
the  alterations  has  slightly  exceeded  the  appropriation, 
but  we  feel  that  the  expenditures  were  demanded  for 
the  comfort  of  the  inmates,  and  also  that  the  building 
is  creditable  to  the  town. 

Poor  out  of  the  Almshouse. 

The  expenditures  under  this  head  have,  as  was 
anticipated,  been  increased  by  the  operation  of  the 


6 


law  of  1865  relating  to  the  settlement  of  soldiers  and 
their  families. 

The  expenditure  for  coal  was  large.  Anticipating 
the  rise  in  price  and  an  increased  demand,  we  pur- 
chased and  paid  for  seventy-five  tons,  and  have  now 
on  hand  a  little  more  than  half  of  the  purchase. 
Deducting  the  value  of  the  coal  now  on  hand  from 
the  whole  amount  expended  will  leave  a  balance  of 
the  appropriation  unexpended. 

Ii^^SAJSTE  iN^  Hospitals. 

The  number  of  persons  supported  in  different 
hospitals  at  the  expense  of  the  town  the  past  year  is 
eight;  discharged,  one;  escaped,  one. 

The  amount  of  expenditures  for  these  unfortunates 
we  cannot  control.  These  persons  cannot  be  proj)erly 
provided  for  at  our  almshouse. 

Highways. 

We  have  expended  a  much  larger  sum  for  the 
repair  of  the  highways  this  year  than  was  appro- 
priated. The  streets  in  all  parts  of  the  town  have 
been  kept  in  as  good  order  as  could  be  done  with  the 
labor  of  two  large  gangs  of  men,  under  charge  of 
Capt.  Spear  and  Mr.  T.  P.  Lucas,  employed  from 
April  to  December.  The  compliments  the  town  has 
received  for  the  great  improvement  in  the  condition 
of  its  streets,  and  the  thanks  expressed  by  our  towns- 
men, assured  us  that,  although  a  large  sum  of  money 
was  being  expended,  the  town  would  be  better  pleased 
with  the  expenditure   and  good  roads   than  with  a 


smaller  sum  expended,  less  work  done,  and  poorer 
roads.  The  experience  of  the  past  season  has  satisfied 
us  that  the  town  has  adopted  the  best  course  in 
owning  the  teams  employed  upon  the  repair  of  its 
highways,  more  work  being  done,  and  in  a  more  satis- 
factory manner,  in  this  way  than  by  hiring  teams. 
The  town  has  now  seven  horses,  one  yoke  of  oxen, 
carts,  stone  drags,  harnesses  and  tools,  worth  nearly 
or  quite  f  4,000,  on  hand,  ready  for  work  in  the  spring, 
the  horses  and  oxen  earning  their  keeping  through 
the  winter. 

The  construction  of  a  large  culvert  on  Washington 
Street,  at  the  Lower  Mills  village,  from  near  Rich- 
mond Hall  to  near  Dorchester  Avenue,  at  an  expense 
of  nearly  f  1,400;  also  the  grading  of  High  and 
Taylor  Streets,  widening  and  grading  a  part  of  Com- 
mercial  Street,  a  part  of  !N^eponset  Avenue,  a  part  of 
River  Street  and  a  part  of  Boston  Street;  are  included 
in  the  expenditures  for  highways.  The  pay  of  the 
laborers  upon  the  highways  has  been  $1.75  per  day 
each.  When  our  citizens  remember  the  number  of 
miles  of  roadway  in  the  town  to  be  kept  in  repair, 
and  the  constantly  increasing  travel,  they  must  be 
aware  that  no  small  sum  of  money  can  keep  them  in 
good  order.  Although  so  much  work  has  been  done 
on  the  highways,  and  that  work  distributed  all  over 
the  town,  the  calls  of  our  citizens  for  still  further* 
repairs  and  improvements  have  been  many  and 
pressing.

We  feel  that  we  should  be  unjust  if  we  should  omit 
to  say  we  have  been  abundantly  satisfied  with  the 
services  rendered  by  Mr.  T.  P.  Lucas. 

Cemeteries. 

• 

.  As  long  ago  as  April,  1853,  the  subject  of  pur- 
chasing land  for  a  new  cemetery,  or  for  enlarging  the 
present  ones,  was  considered  in  town  meeting,  but  no 
land  has  as  yet  been  bought.  The  time  when  absolute 
necessity  will  require  the  purchase  of  another  cem- 
etery lot,  or  the  enlargement  of  the  present  lots,  is 
near  at  hand.  By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature,  passed 
last  winter,  the  town  has  the  power  granted  to  obtain 
land  adjoining  the  present  cemeteries,  upon  certain 
conditions.  During  the  past  summer  we  have  had  a 
small  number  of  lots  in  the  north  cemetery  graded, 
and  granite  bound  posts  set.  These  lots  we  have 
granted  (but  only  in  cases  of  imperative  need,)  to  our 
citizens,  upon  the  payment  to  the  town  of  fifteen 
dollars  for  each  lot  taken,  to  defray  the  expense 
incurred. 

A  committee  of  the  Dorchester  Antiquarian  and 
Historical  Society  was  authorized  by  us  to  reset  and 
recut  a  number  of  the  monumental  stones  of  the  fore- 
fathers and  earliest  settlers  of  this  town.  It  is  very 
desirable  that  these  stones,  marking  the  resting  places 
of  the  honored  dead,  should  be  carefully  preserved. 
The  very  marked  improvement  in  the  appearance  of 
our  cemeteries  within  the  last  few  years  is  creditable, 
and  should  continue. 


FiEE  Department. 

The  report  of  the  Chief  Eiigmeer  of  this  depart- 
ment is  annexed.  A  steam  fire  engine  is  being  built 
by  Messrs.  Hunneman  &  Co.  for  this  town,  and  a 
brick  engiile-honse  is  building  for  its  reception.  "We 
congratulate  the  town  upon  the  infrequency  of  fires 
the  past  year. 

Lighting  Streets. 

Many  new  lamp-posts  and  lamps  have  been  erected 
by  our  citizens  the  past  year,  which  lamps  are  lighted 
at  the  expense  of  the  town. 

Total  expenditure  for  lighting  streets  the  past  year, 

650.31. 


Police  and  "Watchmen. 

The  expenditure  for  police  services  has  been  but 
1473.00.  . 

This  small  sum  has  been  sufficient  for  the  purpose, 
although  included  in  that  amount  is  a  considerable 
sum  paid  for  serving  notices,  issued  by  the  Board  of 
Health  to  landlords  and  occupants,  to  abate  nuisances 
on  their  jDremises  the  past  summer. 

We  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  good  order  and 
quiet  of  our  town,  whereby  the  expenditure  of  a 
larger  sum  was  uncalled  for,  is  in  a  great  degree 
attributable  to  the  enforcement  of  the  prohibitory 
liquor  law. 


10 

State  Aid  to  Soldieks  and  Soldiers'  Fajviilies. 

By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  1866,  approved 
April  23,  1866,  we  have  been  obliged  to  pay  to  dis- 
abled soldiers  and  their  families,  and  to  families  of 
the  slain,  $29,272.00,  that  amount  being  distributed  to 
two  hundred  and  eighty-six  applicants  under  this  law, 
and  eight  persons  under  former  laws.  This  sum  we 
had  no  anticipation  of  being  obliged  to  pay  when  the 
appropriations  were  voted  by  the  town.  "We  have 
endeavored  to  do  justice  to  all,  and  havS  been  gov- 
erned by  the  law,  as  we  understand  it,  and  by  the 
advice  of  the  Auditor  of  the  Commonwealth  in  his 
circular.  This  expenditure  is  to  be  re-imbursed  by 
the  State  on  or  before  December  1,  1867. 

I:n^cide]s^tal  a^s^d  Gej^ekal  Remarks. 

Under  the  head  of  incidental  expenditures  has  been 
paid  :  For  stock  and  labor  on  JSTorfolk  Bridge,  $350; 
to  jSr.  W.  Tileston,  Esq.,  for  services  preparing  the 
Bebellion  Record,  $243.12;  to  Samuel  Blake,  Esq., 
for  examining  and  copying  records  at  Dedham,  Bos- 
ton, Cambridge  and  other  places,  for  the  use  of  the 
assessors,  $127.50.  Also  paid  for  abating  a  nuisance 
on  premises  at  JSTeponset  Tillage,  by  order  of  the 
Board  of  Health,  $266.50.  This  bill  is  a  lien  upon 
the  premises,  and  is  in  course  of  collection.  In  three 
cases  the  town  has  been  sued  by  as  many  persons  for 
damages,  alleged  to  have  occurred  from  defects  in  the 
highways,  &c.  In  each,  the  prosecutor  was  non- 
suited.    Messrs.  H:  A.  Scudder  and  A.  C.  Clark  have 


11 


been  paid  $80  for  legal  advice  and  services-  in  these 
cases. 

Spring  Lane,  a  town  way,  has  been  made  passable 
at  a  cost  of  |127.50. 

By  an  arrangement  with  the  land  owners  on  Boston 
Street  whose  land  was  taken  by  the  County  Commis- 
sioners to  widen  said  street,  instead  of  building  a 
heavy  stone  wall  to  hold  the  filling,  we  have  made  an 
earth  embankment  and  built  a  fence  on  the  line  of  the 
street,  at  a  cost,  for  fencing,  of  f  231.  A  stone  wall 
has  been  built  on  K-iver  Street,  near  the  crossing  of 
the  Boston  and  Providence  Railroad,  to  hold  filling 
for  widening  said  street,  which,  by  a  misunderstanding 
between  our  Board  and  the  engineer  who  had  the 
oversight,  was  much  more  expensive  than  was  neces- 
sary. 'No  work  has  as  yet  been  done  on  the  new 
street  ordered  to  be  built  by  the  County  Commission- 
ers at  Hyde  Park;  it  must  be  commenced  as  soon  as 
the  spring  opens.  Fairmount  Avenue  must  be  graded 
to  correspond  to  that  ordered  by  the  Commissioners 
when  that  avenue  was  laid  out. 

The  bridge  across  ]N^epouset  Piver,  from  Hyde 
Park  to  Milton,  (Fairmount,)  should  be  rebuilt  the 
coming  summer.  We  are  of  the  opinion  that  it  is  for 
the  interest  of  the  towns  of  Milton  and  Dorchester  to 
build  a  bridge  of  stone  rather  than  another  of  wood. 

The  draw  in  Tenean  Bridge,  at  Commercial  Point, 
having  become  so  much  out  of  repair  as  to  be  unsafe, 
(a  heavily  loaded  team  narrowly  escaping  falling 
through,)  we  were  obliged  to  thoroughly  rebuild  it. 
from  foundation  to  planking,  at  an  expense  of  about 


12 


$2,000.  jThe  remainder  of  this  bridge  must,  in  a  few 
years,  be  rebuilt,  as  we  find  some  of  the  piles  are 
nearly  rotted  off.  It  seems  to  us  that  if  the  Legis- 
lature would  grant  the  town  the  right  to  make  all  the. 
bridge,  excej^ting,  perhaps,  a  small  portion  near  the 
draw,  of  solid  material,  it  would  be  best  to  do  so. 

The  Town  Treasurer  has  been  obliged  by  law  to 
pay  $519,  on  account  of  the  militia  "pay  rolls  of  the 
Dorchester  Hifles,  which  sum  is  to  be  refunded  by  the 
State. 

A  settlement  has  been  effected  with  the  Boston, 
Hartford  and  Erie  Railroad  Company,  for  labor  done 
in  raising  the  crossings  of  their  railroad  on  Stoughton, 
Harvard  and  ]N'orfolk  Streets.  We  congratulate  the 
town  and  that  corporation  upon  the  prospect  of 
success  which  now  appears  to  attend  this  hitherto 
unfortunate  enterprise,  and  the  probability  that  the 
town,  which  has  so  long  been  disfigured  and  discom- 
moded by  the  railroad  track  unused,  is  now  to  be 
accommodated  and  improved  by  the  running  of 
frequent  trains  over  it  at  low  fares.  The  officers  of 
this  corporation  acknowledge  that  this  town  has  been 
lenient  and  forbearing,  and  they  agree,  the  coming 
summer,  to  replace  the  unsuitable  bridges  on  Harvard 
and  iN^orfolk  Streets  with  more  safe  and  substantial 
structures,  and  also  to  improve  the  ascents  to  the 
bridges.  We  anticipate  a  great  improvement  in  the 
value  of  property  on  the  line  of  this  railroad  in 
Dorchester  within  a  few  years. 

The  amount  of  uncollected  taxes  for  the  year  1865 
in  the  hands  of  the  Collector,  is  only  $800.     A  very 


13 


large  proportion  of  the  tax  for  the  year  1866  has  been 
paid. 

The  Town  Treasurer  has  not  as  yet  been  obliged  to 
borrow  the  f  15,000  which  he  was  authorized  to  by 
vote  of  the  special  town  meeting.  The  instalments 
due  on  the  town  debt,  and  the  interest  due,  have  been 
paid  at  maturity.  The  debt  of  the  town  has  been 
decreased  $9,000.  Guide-boards  for  the  direction  of 
travellers  are  erected  in  all  the  streets  where,  in  our 
opinion,  they  are  necessary.  With  a  continuance  of 
the  present  good  order,  good  roads,  low  taxes,  and 
remarkable  freedom  from  unhealthy  or  offensive  trades 
in  this  town;  with  its  unsurpassed  beauty  of  scenery, 
pleasant  drives,  and  proximity  to  and  easy  and 
frequent  communication  with  Boston  from  all  parts  of 
the  town,  we  have  reason  to  expect  a  rapid  increase 
in  its  wealth  and  population.

AUDITORS'  REPORT. 

The  Tindersigned  hereby  certify  that  we  have  examined  the  accounts 
of  Thomas  F.  Temple,  Treasurer,  and  find  the  .same  correctly  cast,  and 
all  expenditures  and  payments  are  sustained  by  the  necessary  vouchers. 

There  has  been  received  by  the  Treasurer,  from  all  sources,  the  past 
year,  including  the  balance  on  hand  February  1,  1866,  three  hundred 
seventeen  thousand  four  hundred  seventy  and  j%\  dollars,  and  there  has 
been  paid  from  the  treasury,  during  the  same  time,  two  hundred  ninety- 
four  thousand  seven  hundred  sixty-four  and  yf^  dollars,  leaving  in  the 
treasury  February  1,  1867,  twenty-two  thousand  seven  hundred  six  and 
j^^Q  dollars,  as  shown  by  the  above  account. 

W.  F.  TEMPLE, 
GEORGE  HAYNES, 

Auditors. 
Dorchester,  February  1,  1867. 


REPORT    OF    THE    CHIEF    ENGINEER. 

To  the  Selectmen  of  Dorchester : — 

Gentlemen, — As  one  of  the  duties  of  the  Chief  Engineer  of  the 
Fire  Department,  I  herewith  present  to  you  the  Eighteenth  Annual 
Report  of  its  condition,  the  amount  of  expenditures  under  the  direction 
of  the  Board  of  Engineers ;  also  the  record  of  fires  and  alarms  that 
have  occurred  during  the  past  year. 

I  am  happy  to  state  we  have  not  been  called  upon  to  extinguish ^res 
in  town  but  six  times,  and  can  congratulate  your  board  and  the  town 
upon  the  small  loss  they  have  sustained  by  the  dreaded  element. 

The  promptness  and  efficiency  of  the  several  companies,  when  they 
hav6  been  called  out,  show  that  they  can  be  depended  upon  in  time  of 
need,  and  are  deserving  of  honorable  mention. 

I  would  again  suggest  the  necessity  of  reservoirs  being  built  in  differ- 
ent places  in  town,  where  a  scarcity  of  water  exists.  The  constantly 
increasing  niimber  of  buildings  being  erected  in  many  localities,  must 
make  it  apparent  to  all  that  a  timely  supply  of  water  may  prevent  a 
serious  conflagration,  should  a  fire  occur  in  an  unfavorable  time.  Let 
me  at  least  recommend  that  a  committee  be  chosen  by  the  town  to  take 
the  matter  into  consideration,  to  report  at  some  future  meeting. 


51 


In  speaking  of  the  condition  of  the  several  engines  and  apparatus 
belonging  to  the  Department,  it  would  be  a  neglect  of  duty  on  my  part 
if  I  did  not  again  call  attention  to  the  necessity  of  providing  Engine  Com- 
pany ]Jfo.  1,  with  a  better  apparatus  for  extinguishing  fires  than  the  old 
engine  now  used  by  them  ;  for  it  cannot  be  Avorked  with  that  promptness 
and  efficiency  that  may  be  required  in  its  own  district,  and  out  of  it,  it 
is  almost  useless. 

Engine  Company  No.  2  has  been  provided  with  an  engine  and  other 
apparatus  most  of  the  time  the  past  year.  The  Board  have  done  the 
best  they  could  under  existing  circumstances,  and  hope  that  the  new 
house  and  engine  will  be  completed  and  added  to  the  Department  by  the 
first  of  April. 

No.  3  Engine  has  been  put  in  thorough  repair  and  painted  the  past 
year ;  also  an  addition  made  to  the  house,  and  the  inside  sheathed 
and  re-plastered.  "With  the  exception  of  painting  the  outside,  it  is  hoped 
that  it  will  not  be  of  much  expense  for  some  time  to  come. 

No.  4  Engine  House  will  require  some  repairs  inside  the  present 
season.  This  house  is  in  the  town  of  Milton,  and  many  of  the  citi- 
zens of  Mattapan  have  expre  ssed  their  desire  that  it  be  removed  across 
the  river  into  Dorchester.  It  is  a  matter,  I  think,  that  should  be  brought 
before  the  town,  before  any  action  is  taken. 

No.  5  Engine  House  will  require  shingling,  and  some  repairs  inside, 
this  year. 

No.  6  Engine  House  has.  had  a  new  hose-tower  built,  and  some 
improvements  made  inside ;  also  350  feet  of  new  leading  hose  has  been 
purchased.  It  is  hoped  that  this  house  and  apparatus  will  not  require 
much  outlay  for  some  years. 

The  Hook  and  Ladder  is  in  serviceable  condition. 

The  total  amount  of  expenditures  on  account  of  the  Department  for 
the  .past  year,  has  been  $3,976.54,  viz. :  For  repairs,  fixtures,  &c., 
.$1,740.70  ;  new  hose,  $821.50  ;  salaries,  $886.25  ;  incidentals,  $528.09. 

The  Department  is  organized  as  follows  : — 

Sylvester  H.  Hebard,   Chief  Engineer. 

Assistant-Engineers. 
George  G.  Dennis  on,  James  T.  Oliver, 

Henry  Fobes,  Nathaniel  WithingtoN;^
