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.
8
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;^
Theodore Hersey.
