FINANCIAL CONDITION* OF TOWN.
The town receives each year various amounts outside of
the tax levy. In some instances these amounts have been
appropriated for various municipal purposes, and in some
cases used to meet legal obligations against the town without
any direct action.
There are many unappropriated balances available in the
treasury for appropriation, derived from various sources and
your Board is causing a list thereof to be prepared, to guide
our town in future appropriation meetings.
The amounts as above set forth have been received in part
from the following sources: Interest on unpaid taxes, inter-
est on bank balances, insurance money, sale of land, Com-
monwealth, corporation and national bank tax, other cash
payments for various debts due from State, repayments from
abolition of grade crossings, miscellaneous licenses, sale of
merchandise, and from other sources, all of which we recom-
mend should be considered in part from year to year, when
our appropriations for annual payments on town debt and
interest, or other necessary appropriations, are made.
MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS.
In the consideration of our municipal obligations, and
II
some of the reasons for high tax rates, our citizens should
consider what we pay outside of State and County taxes,
and current municipal expenses. The following amounts
have been paid during the past year:
Abolition of grade crossing at Readville $11,068.55
Metropolitan Park Loan 5,267.70
Metropolitan Sewerage System 13,472.36
Metropolitan Water Loan 3,091.24
$32,899-85
Our citizens should also carefully consider, in compre-
hending all of our annual obligations and appropriations the
cost, maintenance and extension of our sewer system. Dur-
ing the past year alone our Town Treasurer has paid out for
the above work the following amounts :
Bonds due $ 9,000.00
Interest on Bonds 6,220.00
Metropolitan Sewerage Charges 13,472.36
Cost of maintenance and extension 9,424.88
$38,117.24
TOWN TREASURER.
On March 9, 1904, Henry S. Bunton, Esquire, our Town
Treasurer for thirty years, sent to our Board his resignation.
Gideon H. Haskell was appointed by our Board to serve as
Treasurer pro tempore to fill the vacancy. Mr. Haskell
entered upon the discharge of his duties as Treasurer, April
13, 1904.
We desire to place upon our town records, in our annual
report, t,he sentiments expressed to Mr. Bunton at the time
of his resignation.
"We regret exceedingly your resignation and any causes which
may have prompted it at this early date. This Board and all citi-
zens recognize your faithful and commendable service to our town
12
during the entire period of your official career. Our recognition as
a Board is but the reflection of the universal public opinion in
which you are held by our citizens."
We fully appreciate the evidence of appreciation which
has been continuous and universal by our citizens, as shown
by his annual election for thirty years.
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
Your Board of Selectmen, also Surveyors of Highways,
unanimously appointed at the beginning of the year, Mr.
Arthur T. Rogers as Superintendent of Streets. Mr. Rogers
has been in charge of the Department by virtue of said
appointment during the year. A detailed report of the work
performed is to be found in another part of this report.
We have not been able to carry out all of the work which
in our opinion was necessary, owing to a decrease in the
annual appropriation, but we have tried to distribute the
same equitably throughout our town.
The construction of Readville Street necessitated an
expense of over $4,000. This work was imperatively neces-
sary, and for past years has been delayed on account of the
surface drainage problem for this section.
We are pleased to report that the street with all necessary
surface drains is constructed, and the future needs of many
intersecting streets are fully comprehended, in relation to the
needs for surface drainage.
We recommend a more liberal policy in relation to the
placing of cross walks throughout our town, also the placing
of corner curbings at our street intersections, thus defining
our street lines.
NEW STREETS.
The following named streets have been laid out by your
Board during the year. We reported and recommended to
the town their acceptance as public ways at the town meet-
13
ing held December 28, 190.4. The town accepted our reports
and appropriated the required amounts for building the
same.
We have not entered upon any of the new streets for the
construction thereof on account of the season of the year.
The building of these new streets should be one of the first
works of the Board of Selectmen for next year.
The following is a memorandum of the streets and
amounts appropriated :
Damon Street, appropriation seven hundred dollars. The
amount for this work was transferred from the Street Water-
ing appropriation for the current year.
Safford Street, appropriation three hundred dollars. The
amount for this work was transferred from the Street Water-
ing appropriation for the current year.
Regent Street, appropriation twenty-seven hundred dol-
lars. The amount for this work was transferred from cur-
rent year's appropriations and balances as follows:
$ 604.85 from Beacon Street drain balance
400.00 from collection of ashes and garbage appropriation
695.15 from incidentals appropriation
1,000.00 from interest appropriation
$2,700.00 total.
Wachusett Street, appropriation four hundred twenty-one
and 57/100 dollars. The amount for this work was appropri-
ated from amount in treasury received as repayment from
abolition of grade crossing at Readville.
Waterloo Street, appropriation four hundred dollars. The
amount for this work was transferred from the current year's
appropriations as follows:
$200.00 from street watering appropriation
200.00 from collection of ashes and garbage appropriation
$400.00 total.
H
GARFIELD AVENUE DRAIN.
The town voted December 9, 1903, to appropriate the sum
of twenty-three hundred dollars to construct a drain through
Garfield Avenue for surface drainage from said avenue,
together with that of intersecting streets. Your present
Board has caused this work to be completed and the drain
is meeting the requirements in all particulars.
This was a long needed piece of work and its construction
has given great relief to this section. We expended two
thousand and thirty-five dollars and sixty-six cents
($2,035.66) from this appropriation. At the town meeting
held December 28, 1904, upon our recommendation, one
hundred and thirty-three dollars and forty-five cents
(($133.45) was transferred to the Readville drain to meet the
deficiency for that work, and at the same meeting the bal-
ance of two Jiundred and thirty dollars and eighty-nine cents
($230.89) was transferred to the Highway Department.
READVILLE STREET DRAIN.
At a town meeting held December 9, 1903, a report was
made by the Selectmen recommending the laying out of a
main drain for Readville Street and other streets. The town
in town meeting accepted the report and authorized the con-
struction as therein set forth. The work was entered upon
by last year's Board of Selectmen, and was uncompleted at
the time we assumed office. The town, upon the recom-
mendation of last year's Board, appropriated for this work
fourteen hundred and fifty (1450) dollars, the same to be
taken for the highway appropriation for that year. We were
unable to complete the work with the amount appropriated.
At the town meeting held December 28, 1904, we pre-
sented all the facts to the citizens and unanimously recom-
mended that an unexpended balance from the Garfield
Avenue drain, to the amount of one hundred and thirty-three
i5
and 45/100 dollars, be transferred to meet the deficiency in
carrying out this work. T,he recommendation of your
Selectmen was approved by the town, and the amount neces-
sary was transferred. The work has been fully completed
and the drain is working- satisfactorily to your Board and to
our citizens. Upon the construction of this main drain, it
was possible for us to construct Readville Street and to take
care of the surface drainage from the same, and eventually
other intersecting streets, which are referred to in another
part of this report.
WESTMINSTER STREET DRAIN.
The problem of disposing of the surface water that collects
at the intersection of Westminster Street and Hyde Park
Avenue .has been before your various Boards of Selectmen
for many years. The conditions at this point called for some
permanent construction to remedy the difficulty:
At the town meeting held December 28, 1904, we recom-
mended that a drain and catch basins be constructed at this
point to solve the difficulty. Upon our recommendation the
town transferred from our Incidental appropriation for the
present year an amount not exceeding five hundred dollars
for this purpose.
This work should be commenced in t,he early spring.
NE'PONSET AVENUE DRAIN.
For many years the owners of property in the vicinity of
Neponset Avenue have entered various complaints against
the turning of surface water collected from various intersect-
ing streets upon the private land in this locality.
We carefully considered the matter and were satisfied that
some action should be taken to avoid any further trouble
from this question. Plans and estimates were considered,
and at the town meeting held December 28, 1904, we recom-
i6
mended an appropriation of six hundred dollars, the amount
necessary to do the work.
The amount was duly appropriated from the money in the
hands of the Treasurer received as a repayment on account
of the abolition of the grade crossing at Readville.
This work should be commenced as soon as the condition
of the weather will permit.
•LINWOOD STREET.
As set forth in the last annual report of your Board of
Selectmen, Linwood Street had been accepted as a public
way. Your present Board of Selectmen has caused the
necessary work to be done. The town appropriated for the
work on December 9, 1903, the sum of four hundred (400)
dollars. .The work has been properly and satisfactorily com-
pleted at an expense of one hundred and seventy-seven
45/100 dollars. The original amount of this appropriation
was transferred from the highway appropriation and there
remained after the completion of the work an unexpended
balance. At the town meeting held December 28, 1904, upon
the recommendation of our Board, the balance was trans-
ferred back to the Highway Department, amounting to two
hundred and twenty-two 55/100 dollars.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
Under the law many of the various Departments of the
town are, in every sense of the word, separate and distinct.
These Departments perform their necessary functions with
independent appropriations. In order that all might be
brought into closer relations for the common good of our
government and to consider various municipal questions, the
Board of Selectmen, following the action of last year's
Board, appointed an Advisory Committee under the follow-
ing vote:
*7
That a committee of twenty-eight be appointed by this Board to
act in connection with the Board of Selectmen and the Town Treas-
urer, together with the Chairmen of the following Boards, viz.:
School Committee, Public Library Trustees, Board of Health, Over-
seers of the Poor, Sewer Commissioners, and the Board of Assess-
ors, to consider the question of our municipal obligations; the ad-
ministration of our various Departments; the coming year's annual
appropriations; property values and assessments; also to make such
report and recommendation to the Town concerning the administra-
tion of any and all Departments that the circumstances and require-
ments may justify.
A partial report of the Advisory Committee is to be found
in another part of this report.
We believe that the appointment and work of the Advisory
Committee for the two years that it has been in existence, has
met with the general approval and satisfaction of our citizens.
In our opinion such a committee, under our form of gov-
ernment, is wise and necessary, and productive of great good
to our general welfare. Under the workings of such a com-
mittee the needs and requirements of all Departments can
be carefully considered and ascertained, so that when final
action is taken by the town our citizens know that a body of
citizens, outside of town officials, have carefully considered
the various subjects, and aware that their recommendations
are based upon their sound judgment and study. We recom-
mend a similar committee in future years.
SHADE TREES.
We .have in many of our public ways a large number of
shade trees. It has been many years since any particular
attention has been given to the question of trimming any of
these trees. In some instances they are so low that many of
the traveling public have been either damaged or annoyed by
the low branches. Our electric light system in some in-
stances is rendered very inadequate owing to the large num-
ber of branches that surround or are near the lamps.
i8
As this is a matter whic.h calls for special work at the pres-
ent time, we recommend that an appropriation be made
directly for this purpose.
COLLECTION OF ASHES AND GARBAGE.
At the last annual appropriation meeting held March 28,
1904, the town voted to instruct its Board of Health to trans-
fer the property and equipment used in the collection of
ashes and garbage to the Selectmen. An appropriation of
fifty-three hundred dollars was made by the town for the use
of the Selectmen for this purpose.
We .have managed this duty through your Street Depart-
ment, under the head of Sanitary Division, keeping the work
and appropriation separate. We have interchanged services
in this work with the regular Street Department, thereby
making a considerable saving to the town. We recom-
mended at the town meeting December 28, 1904, that the
sum of six hundred dollars be transferred from the appro-
priation for this sanitary work to other municipal work, as
set forth in our report on new streets.
We have made a new arrangement for tjhe sale of garbage
collected whereby the town will receive about twenty per
centum more than the former price.
It was suggested to our Board that the garbage should
be collected by contract. With this idea in mind we caused
bids to be furnished concerning this work. Upon full con-
sideration, we decided to continue the collection by town
teams, in connection with the one contract route now con-
trolled by Mrs. Emily R. Hukin.
In our administration of this Department we have enforced
the rule that t,he employees were not to go through any part
of a dwelling to reach the cellar. The reason for this is
obvious, as it would require additional labor to execute the
work and greater care would be necessary in bringing barrels
and other receptacles through any living room on first floors.
J9
In all instances, however, the employees, when the cellar
was accessible, through an outside door, have removed all
ashes and other waste material. As far as possible, espe-
cially throughout the centre of the town where trips are
made on regular days, it is much better to have all material
to be carried away placed on the outside of buildings, as is
usually required where this work is done by municipal gov-
ernments.
We trust that this work has been satisfactorily carried out
by us.
STREET LIGHTING.
The street lighting of the town is under a contract entered
into with the Hyde Park Electric Light Company for a
period of ten years from January 6, 1898.
In substance said contract provides as follows:
Originally 119 arc lamps, 2,000 c. p.
57 incandescent lamps 26 c. p., for which service the town
was to pay $8,532 per annum. Additional lamps to be pro-
vided at the rate of $70 per year for each arc and $16 per
year for each incandescent lamp. The lamps to burn one-
half hour after sunset and until 12.30 o'clock every dark
night, also until one hour after moon rises, and one hour
before it sets, if not dark, all to be to the approval of the
Chief of Police. There is also a provision that in all or cer-
tain sections the lights may burn all night for additional com-
pensation,— $40 for arc, and $8 for incandescent lamps; also
for an additional part of the night, — 5c. for arc and ic. for
incandescent lamp, per hour.
We now have, under and by virtue of said contract and
additions thereto, the following lights distributed throughout
our town, as follows:
Arc 140
Ordinary incandescents 89
All night incandescents 5
20
y
Outside of the contract as above we have in use thirteen
all-night gas lamps for which the town pays twenty-five dol-
lars each.
In our outlying district near the Boston line at Clarendon
Hills we have a few kerosene lamps.
The town, at the meeting held December 28, 1904, author-
ized new lights placed in various parts of our town. A few of
the new lights are in position. The remainder will be placed
immediately, as we .have located all of them and the com-
pany has been duly authorized to proceed with the work.
GLENWOOD AVENUE BRIDGE.
Attention was called in the Town Reports of 1903 and 1904
to the necessity of a crossing over the railroad tracks and
river at Glenwood Station. We understand that the com-
mittee, to whom this matter was referred at a town meeting,
held Dec. 9, 1903, have had several conferences with the
Metropolitan Park Commission and the railroad officials,
both of whom are interested in the matter, and it is expected
that the committee will make a full and favorable report at
the next town meeting. A crossing at this point would open
up a large section of land and bring it within easy walking
distance of our large industrial plants, which can now be
reached only by going a long distance. We believe that the
matter deserves favorable and immediate action at the
hands of the town.
SEWER DEPARTMENT. "
At the annual appropriation meeting held March 28, 1904,
the town voted to authorize its Board of Selectmen to peti-
tion the General Court for necessary legislation, that the
town might consider the question of abolishing the Board
of Sewer Commissioners.
The Bill under the above vote was duly prepared and pre-
21
sented to the Legislature and the necessary legislation
became a law. Acts of 1904, Chap. 339. The Act to become
operative upon its acceptance by the town.
At a town meeting held December 28, 1904, the town
voted to accept the provisions of the above Act and the
Board of Sewer Commissioners was thereby abolished.
Your Board of Selectmen under and by virtue of said law
are for all purposes the lawful successors of said Board of
Sewer Commissioners.
We have appointed Mr. Clarence G. Norris Engineer for
our sewer work, with the understanding that all town engi-
neering under the control of the Selectmen is to be per-
formed by him. His salary of fifteen hundred dollars per
annum, which is to include services for all town work, is the
same amount previously paid by the Sewer Department for
their Engineer alone.
At a meeting held January 9, 1905, it was voted, "that all
charges in relation to house connections for superintendence
and inspection be abolished," it being our intention to reduce
to the actual cost all future house connection, so that our
citizens, in larger numbers, will avail themselves of the great
benefits of our sewer system.
Our first Board of Sewer Commissioners was elected May
6, 1896. Under the original act, Chapter 287, Acts 1896, the
town was authorized to borrow, for the payment of all neces-
sary expenses and liabilities incurred, in the construction of
our system, $150,000. By the Act of 1898 the town was
authorized to borrow $100,000 additional, for the same pur-
pose. Under the law as above set forth the town has issued
bonds to the amount of one hundred and ninety thousand
dollars. Your Board of Selectmen now have authority to
issue additional bonds or notes of tjie town, under said laws,
for sixty thousand dollars, together with the right to use the
payments made by abutters on account of the sewer assess-
ments, for the extension and maintenance of our system.
22
The original act provides in part as follows: "Section n.
The receipts from assessments, and payments made in lieu
thereof under this act, shall be applied to the payment of the
charges and expenses for and incident to the maintenance
and operation of said system of sewerage, and for the pay-
ment of the furt,her extension of the said system or systems,
except that said town may apply any portion of such receipts
to the payment of the interest upon said bonds, notes or
scrip issued under authority of this act not otherwise pro-
vided for, or to the payment or redemption of said bonds,
notes or scrip, as the said town shall by vote determine, and
shall be used for no other purpose. If said receipts shall not
be sufficient for said purposes in any year then in such case
said town shall raise forthwith by taxation, in the same
manner as money is raised and appropriated for other town
purposes, the balance required therefor."
By the terms of the above section the town may, by vote,
pay the whole, or a part, of its maturing obligations and
interest on account of its sewer construction, from the
receipts from sewer assessments levied on abutters.
We submit that no greater burdens should be placed upon
present property holders, by taxation, than public needs and
requirements justify, and submit for the consideration of the
town the question of meeting the whole or a part of our
annual payments on account of your sewer loan and interest,
for the payments made to our town, from said assessments
and betterments, thereby leaving the burden of our future
sewer extensions to bond issues, which may, under the law,
be extended over any part of a period of forty years. Our
sewer system is as much for the future as for the present,
and as much of the burdens of its construction, as circum-
stances will justify, should be placed in future tax levies. In
this way the present tax payers will not have to be subjected
to excessive tax rates, and we will thereby equitably charge
our future property holders with this work, which they will
23
enjoy, perhaps more than we. The present policy has been
to pay for the extensions to our service from receipts or
cash on hand, thereby relieving unfairly, future tax payers,
from payments, the benefits of which they will enjoy.
The cost of our sewer system to date, as appears from the
records of the former Board of Sewer Commissioners, out-
side of salaries, amounts to $304,035.01, the same being
divided as follows:

Travel $ 70. 13

POLICE DEPARTMENT.
When the present Board of Selectmen assumed their office
March, 1904, Deputy Sheriff William Wragg was serving as
Chief of Police. Mr. Wragg in our last town report recom-
mended "that some one be appointed to the office of Chief
of Police who can devote his whole time to the business."
Many of our citizens, notwithstanding Mr. Wragg's recom-
mendation, desired him to continue at the head of our Police
Department.
It was understood by all parties that Mr. Wragg's appoint-
ment by the Selectmen was not to be a permanent one.
Mr. Wragg's resignation to our Board was received as
herein set forth.
Hyde Park, Mass., May 31, 1904.
The Honorable Board of Selectmen, Hyde Park, Mass.
Gentlemen: I hereby resign as Chief of Police of Hyde Park, to
take effect upon the qualification of my successor.
Yours very respectfully,
WILLIAM WRAGG,
Chief of Police.
We take pleasure, in this public manner, in setting forth
the letter unanimously indorsed by our Board to Mr. Wragg
upon his retirement.
Hyde Park, Mass., May 31, 1904.
William Wragg, Esq., Hyde Park, Mass.
Dear Sir: At a meeting of the Board held this day it was voted
"that in accepting the resignation of Mr. Wragg as Chief of Police,
to take effect upon the election and qualification of his successor,
this Board tender to Mr. Wragg our thanks for his conscientious
work in behalf of our force and our appreciation of the good work
accomplished by the Department while under his supervision."
Yours very respectfully,
HARRY J. WEST,
Secretary.
26
At our meeting held July n, 1904, Jason W. Butters of
Boston, by a majority vote, was elected by our Board to fill
the vacancy caused by Mr. Wragg's resignation. After-
wards at the same meeting the vote was made unanimous.
Mr. Butters was a former Lieutenant in the Boston Police
Department and had been stationed at the Boston Police
Headquarters in Pemberton Square. He was strongly rec-
ommended to our Board by his former superior officers and
by many well known people who had knowledge concerning
his experience as an officer and his standing as a citizen.
We did not, at the time of Air. Butters' appointment, have
him fully qualified under the Civil Service Rules of the Com-
monwealth (which rules are hereinafter referred to), al-
though said Civil Service Rules were adopted at our last
annual meeting. Our action was based, as we believed, on
sound judgment, and without disregarding the Civil Service
Rules of the Commonwealth, and without the slightest dis-
approval of the Civil Service Commissioners of the Common-
wealth, before whom all facts and conditions were fully pre-
sented.
On January 16, 1905, our Board, with consideration for the
Civil Service Rules of the Commonwealth, caused the follow-
ing letter to be sent the Civil Service Commissioners.
Hyde Park, Mass., Jan. 17, 1905.
Board of Civil Service Commissioners, State House Boston, Mass.
Dear Sir: At a meeting of our Board of Selectmen held Jan. 16,
1905, it was voted to ask your Board to give Jason W. Butters of
Hyde Park, Mass., who has for more than six months been in charge
of our Police Department, a non-competitive Civil Service exam-
ination for appointment under Civil Service Rules of this Common-
wealth as a police officer, and to be designated by our Board to your
Commission as an officer and employee in the public service of this
town classified under the Civil Service Rules of this Commonwealth.
Said appointee to be designated as such officer and employee as
Officer-in-Charge of the Police Department and Captain of the
Police Force, and within the classified Civil Service at a salary of
$1,500 per annum.
27
In asking for a non-competitive examination and certification as
above set forth, we desire to state that said Jason W. Butters has
special qualifications owing to long experience in police duties which
make him an officer of exceptional ability for our Department.
Very respectfully,
HARRY J. WEST,
Secretary.
On January 26, 1905, the following reply was received:
OFFICE OF CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 25, 1905.
To the Board of Selectmen, Hyde Park, Mass.
Dear Sirs: Your letter of the 17th instant, requesting the non-
competitive examination of Jason W. Butters for appointment to
the position of captain in charge of the police force of Hyde Park,
was considered by the commissions at their meeting yesterday, and
it was voted to grant your request.
Inasmuch as it appears from our records that Mr. Butters was
twice examined for promotion in the Boston police department and
passed the examination successfully, the commissioners decided that
no further educational examination would be required, but that he
would be subjected to a physical examination, and if he passes, will
be regularly certified to you for appointment.
Very respectfully,
WARREN P. DUDLEY,
Secretary.
Mr. Butters duly qualified under the physical part of the
requirements and on January 27, 1905, the Civil Service
Commissioners certified Mr. Butters to our Board for
appointment at the head of our Police Department and under
the Civil Service Rules of the Commonwealth. On January
28, 1905, our Board unanimously appointed Jason W. But-
ters as a police officer of our town and employee in charge of
our Police Department and within the Classified Civil Ser-
vice Rules of the Commonwealth.
Mr. Butters' close association with the police officers of
Boston has been a material grain to our service and we
28
believe that our Police Department under his control has
been wisely and efficiently administered. We are pleased to
publicly present our full satisfaction in the administration of
our Police Department as a whole under Mr. Butters.
CIVIL SERVICE RULES.
At our last annual town meeting held March 7, 1904, the
town voted to accept the provisions of the Revised Laws
concerning the Civil Service of the Commonwealth, and
limited the application thereof to our Police Department.
Under said Act each member of the force "shall continue
to hold his office until his death, resignation or removal. He
shall not be removed except for cause shown after a full
hearing."
The Act in force at the time of our adoption thereof has
been further extended by law and approved May 9, 1904.
Acts 1904, Chap. 314, as follows:
Section 1. Every person holding office or employment in the
public service of the Commonwealth or in any county, city or town
thereof, classified under the civil service rules of the Commonwealth,
shall hold such office or employment and shall not be removed
therefrom, lowered in rank or compensation, or suspended, or, with-
out his consent, transferred from such office or employment to any
other except for just cause and for reasons specifically given in
writing.
Sect. 2. The person sought to be removed, suspended, lowered
or transferred shall be notified of the proposed action and shall be
furnished with a copy of the reasons required to be given by section
one, and shall, if he so requests in writing, be given a public hear-
ing, and be allowed to answer the charges preferred against him
either personally or by counsel. A copy of such reasons, notice and
answer and of the order of removal, suspension or transfer shall be
made a matter of public record.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Your Board of Selectmen reappointed the present Engin-
29
eers of the Fire Department: John H. Wetherbee, John C.
McDougald and Dennis W. Mahoney.
As required by law said engineers duly organized, and
re-elected John H. Wetherbee as Chief Engineer. The
report of the various duties performed and the administration
of this Department is found in detail in another part of this
report. We congratulate the town on our faithful and effi-
cient Department.
FIRE HYDRANT SERVICE.
The contract made with the Hyde Park Water Company
October i, 1895, for a period of ten years, expires during the
coming year, and it is important that the matter should be
considered at an early date as it will be necessary to submit
the same to the town before the expiration of the present
contract.
For the information of our citizens we herewith present
an abstract of the contract for this service.
Contract with the Hyde Park Water Company was dated
July 27, 1895. At the time of this contract one hundred and
five hydrants were in position and seventy additional
hydrants were contracted for, to be located by the Select-
men, at that time. Term to be ten years from the first day
of October, A. D., 1895. All hydrants in excess of one hun-
dred and seventy-five shall be located and maintained on
service line at the rate of twenty-five dollars per annum for
each hydrant. For said one hundred and seventy-five
hydrants for said period, the town is to pay fifty-five hun-
dred dollars per annum, payment to be made annually.
The additions made since the contract are as follows:
Three additions January 14, 1896.
Two additions October 20, 1897.
One addition March 21, 1899.
One addition June 30, 1899.
One addition Sept. 12, 1902.
3°
There is one additional hydrant authorized December 28,
1904, which has not yet been placed on account of the season
of the year.
BLUE HILL STREET RAILWAY.
The Directors of the Blue Hill Street Railway Company
petitioned our Board, early in the present year, for a location
of its tracks beyond their present location on Milton Street
at Metropolitan Park land, and to cross said Milton Street
for the purpose of connecting with its location in the town
of Milton.
This petition involved, as far as our Board was concerned,
the right to cross Milton Street, thereby connecting the loca-
tion of this company from Readville to the Blue Hills. The
Railroad Commissioners have certified to our location as
required by law.
We are assured that the Company will have this new line
in operation this coming year.
JURY LIST.
As required by law the Board of Selectmen present to the
citizens its selection of jurors for submission to the next
annual appropriation meeting. The list is to be found in
another part of this report.
INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS.
Your Board reappointed Richard F. Boynton as Inspector
of Buildings for the year ending May 1, 1905, at the salary
of $200 per annum. We refer our citizens to his report for
further information concerning this Department.
ASSESSORS' PLANS.
Several years ago the town voted a small sum of money
to be used in making a beginning for Assessors' plans so
3i
that property areas might be accurately set forth and known.
Our Assessors were then, and we understand are now, con-
vinced that this is an important and necessary work. We
contemplate, and have arranged with the Engineer of the
Board of Selectmen, to make a substantial beginning on this
work. We feel that as this work develops greater accuracy
will result and areas and lines will be easily ascertained and
determined. The carrying out of this work will be of great
assistance to our Assessors, and the work has already been
commended.
PERMANENT CLERK FOR SELECTMEN.
The question of ,a permanent clerk for the Board of Select-
men has long been considered. We are of the opinion at
the present time, that in consideration of the various duties
performed by the Selectmen in relation to municipal work,
including Sewer Department, collection of ashes and garbage
and various other duties to be performed and the necessary
records to be kept, that one clerk should be employed, who
will devote his entire time to the town. If this recommenda-
tion is carried out, the Selectmen's office will always be open
during the day for the transaction of municipal business.
We have started, by our clerk, Mr. Harry J. West, a
detailed system of reports in relation to the cost of the vari-
ous municipal works, that we may know with as much accu-
racy and dispatch as possible the cost of any particular piece
of work.
ACTIONS AT LAW.
Peter Rogers v. Hyde Park, suit for personal injuries in
which damages for $4,000 were claimed, more fully described
in preceding town reports, was reached for trial October 13,
1904. Efforts had been made at different times to adjust this
case without trial, but the difference between the parties was
so great that they were unable to come together, until dur-
32
ing the trial, when the case was settled, and pursuant to
agreement, a verdict was directed for the town, upon the
town agreeing to pay the plaintiff $400.
Catherine E. Stanford v. Hyde Park, action for personal
injuries caused by a defect in the Jiighway on River Street,
more fully described in previous annual reports, was argued
on briefs in the Supreme Judicial Court, in January, 1904,
and a decision by that Court sustaining the verdict of $1,250
received by the plaintiff in the Superior Court, was handed
down February 29th of the same year. Judgment has been
paid by the town.
The cases of Mary D. Hammond v. Hyde Park, and J.
Forest Hammond v. Hyde Park, two actions by minors,
each claiming damages in the sum of $10,000, as more fully
described in preceding town reports, grew out of the action
of the School Committee at the time of the small-pox epi-
demic in 1901-2, have been twice tried together before a
jury, and are assigned by the Court as the first cases for trial
at the present January sitting, and probably will have been
tried when this report goes to press.
Joseph J. Dunn v. Hyde Park, suit for personal injuries
caused by an alleged defect in the highway, more fully
described in previous annual reports, was dismissed in
December, 1904. A motion by the plaintiff for the restora-
tion of the case is pending, and will be opposed by counsel
for t,he town.
The petition for the abolition of the grade crossings at
Fairmount Avenue and Bridge Street is still pending. The
hearings were closed early in the fall and the matter taken
under advisement by the Commissioners. Before any deci-
sion on their part had been made, the Chairman of the Com-
missioners, Henry P. Moulton, Esq., died suddenly, and since
that time one of his associates, John J. Flaherty, Esq., has
been seriously ill and is now absent from tjie Common-
wealth. The death of Mr. Moulton will necessitate the
33
appointment of an additional commissioner and further hear-
ings, but these cannot be held until Mr. Flaherty's return.
The action brought by William L. Holmes against the
Board of Health to recover damages caused by alleged
wrongful removal from the building where he was staying,
under claim that he Jiad small-pox, is still pending. For
further particulars as to this action, reference is made to the
last report.
The case of George A. Tillson against the town for injury
claimed to have been received by reason of an alleged defect
in Hyde Park Avenue near Kennedy's Block is still pending.
The suit of Andrew Roman for alleged defect in Metro-
politan Avenue was disposed of without trial and without
expense to the town.
In the last report reference was made to an action brought
by Ethel A. L. Smith, a minor, claiming damages for alleged
wrongful exclusion from school during the existence of
small-pox in t,he town. This action has not been tried, and
may await the final decision of the case of Mary D. Ham-
mond and others against the town, which are somewhat of
the same character.
The last report gave a full statement of the endeavors of
the last Board of Selectmen to secure a compliance by the
Old Colony Street Railway Company with the terms of the
original street railway location, granted in 1893 to the Nor-
folk Suburban Street Railway Company, as to reconstruc-
tion, paving, and repairs. The Old Colony Street Railway
Company claimed that it was relieved from these obligations
by a statute passed in 1898 and that the Board of Selectmen
of 1893 had no right to put such requirements in the orig-
inal location, and that the same were of no binding effect.
A petition has been filed in the Supreme Judicial Court to
test the validity of the orders of the Board, and of the orig-
inal location, relative to these matters. After hearing before
a single justice the case was reserved for the full bench of
34
the Supreme Judicial Court, and the matter has been argued
before that court, but no decision has yet been rendered.
Under the provisions of Chapter 456 of the Acts of 1900,
the County Commissioners were directed to build a new
bridge over the Weymouth Fore River between Quincy
Point and North Weymouth, at an expense not exceeding
$100,000. Upon the completion of said bridge and the ascer-
tainment of its cost and expense, the Commissioners were
directed to file a report in the office of the Clerk of Courts
for Norfolk County, and the Superior Court was directed to
appoint three Commissioners to assess the expense of the
bridge upon the County of Norfolk, and upon such cities,
towns, and quasi-public corporations as the Commissioners
should award and determine to be specially benefited by the
bridge in such amounts as they shall award and determine to
be fairly proportionate to the special benefits conferred by
said bridge upon said county and the cities and town and
corporations assessed. The court appointed a commission
consisting of Henry P. Moulton, Esq., John J. Flaherty,
Esq., and Ernest H. Vaughan, Esq., and notice was served
upon the town of Hyde Park that it was one of the towns
upon whom the expense of construction of said bridge might
be apportioned. Extended hearings were held before this
commission commencing on the 26th day of April, 1904, and
closing on the nth day of July of the same year. This com-
mission had not filed its report at the time of Mr. Moulton's
death and further hearings and the report of the commis-
sion have been delayed by the same reasons that have caused
the delay in the final decision as to the matter of abolition
of grade crossings at Fairmount Avenue and Bridge Street.
We confidently expect that no part of the expense of this
bridge will be charged upon this town.
Under the laws in force as to apportionment of expense
of care, maintenance, and operation of Metropolitan Park
Reservations and Boulevards, a commission is appointed in
35
every fiftji year to determine the proportion in which each
of the cities and towns within the Metropolitan Park District
shall pay into the treasury of the Commonwealth for said
purposes for the ensuing five years. A new apportionment
is to be made this year, and a petition has been filed in the
Supreme Judicial Court for Suffolk County for the appoint-
ment of a commission, and service has been made on the
town. The order of notice thereon is returnable on -the 21st
day of February, 1905. Under this petition a Commission
will be appointed and hearings held at an early date.
Chapter 491 of the Statute of 1901 required the Metro-
politan Park Commissioners to build a drawbridge and ap-
proaches across the Mystic River between the cities of Som-
erville- and Medford, at a cost not exceeding $200,000, to be
paid in part by such cities and towns in the County of Mid-
dlesex as shall be found to be specially benefited by the use
of said bridge for highway purposes, and in part by the
Metropolitan Park District to such extent as said District
shall be found to be benefited by the use of the bridge for
park purposes, and in the proportion to be determined by a
special commission. TJie Metropolitan Park Commission
has filed a petition for the appointment of Commissioners to
determine in proportion to such benefits the part of the cost
of said bridge and approaches to be paid by each of said
cities and towns in Middlesex County and by said Parks
District. An order of notice upon this petition has been
served upon the town returnable on the same date, as the
petition last referred to, and the course of proceedings
thereon will be substantially the same as under the last
petition.

Report of the Advisory Committee Appointed by
the Selectmen.
To the Citizens of Hyde Park: —
At a meeting of the Board of Selectmen, held the twenty-
fifth day of November, 1904, it was voted to follow the cus-
tom inaugurated by the preceding Board and appoint an Ad-
visory Committee, with duties and powers similar to those
conferred upon its predecessor.
The membership as appointed consisted of the five mem-
bers of the Board of Selectmen, the Town Treasurer, the
chairmen of the following boards, viz: School Committee,
Public Library Trustees, Board of Health, Overseers of the
Poor, Sewer Commissioners, Board of Assessors, and twen-
ty-eight citizens representing the various sections of the
town.
The work of the Advisory Committee of the preceding
year had met with such universal commendation and its rec-
ommendations had been so emphatically endorsed by the cit-
izens at the appropriation meeting, that the present Board of
Selectmen recognized the importance of similar action this
year.
The full committee as appointed consisted of the following
gentlemen: —
Edwin C. Jenney, W. H. Powers,
W. D. Preston, . H. B. Miner,
Frank B. Rich, . C. F. Stack,
H. S. Thompson, Geo. E. Haven,
Richard W. Wright, David Perkins,
G. H. Haskell, C. F. Morrison,
42
David W. Murray, A. L. Lovejoy,
Charles Haley, Geo. H. Rausch,
P. J. Fitzgerald, Jos. K. Knight,
E. L. Barrett, S. E. Newell,
J. G. McCarter, John Johnston,
E. E. E. Bartlett, George Miles,
Alfred Foster, Albert Davenport,
H. M. Hamblin, S. T. Elliott,
George Peabody, Calvin H. Lee,
W. C. Deagle, H. S. Bunton,
F. N. Tirrell, E. S. Hathaway,
Chas. E. Palmer, L. P. Howard,
J. S. Coveney, F. W. Darling,
W. E. Norwood, George Jeffers.
At the first meeting of this Committee, held on the evening
of November 30th, organization was effected by the election
of Francis W. Darling, Chairman, and William E. Norwood,
Clerk. At this meeting four of the appointees signified their
inability to serve, viz., E. L. Barrett, William C. Deagle, F.
N. Tirrell and E. S. Hathaway. The Board of Selectmen
filled the vacancies thus caused by the appointment of James
A. Tilden, John H. Monahan, J. EL Farrell and J. F. Pring.
This Committee, after careful consideration of the appro-
priations necessary for the various town boards for the cur-
rent municipal year, beg leave to make, in part, the follow-
ing report. The work of the Advisory Committee will be
continued along other lines, but we have -felt that, so far as
the appropriations were concerned, our recommendations
should appear in the Town Report, about to be issued, in
order that citizens may have ample opportunity to consider
them before the appropriation meeting.
In the matter of the town's requirements for debt and in-
terest, the amount needed, $24,400.00, is approved.
The amount required for salaries, $5,460.00, is approved.
This is $300.00 less than was appropriated last year on ac-
count of the abolition of the Board of Sewer Commissioners.
43
We recommend the appropriation of the usual amount,
$200.00, for the Grand Army Post.
We recommend the appropriation of $1,000.00, voted at
the last town meeting, December 28, 1904, for the School
Committee, to be paid from the tax levy of 1905.
We recommend, as did the Advisory Committee of last
year, that no money be appropriated for the observance of
Independence Day.
A petition from certain citizens has been received, through
the Board of Selectmen, asking our approval of the appro-
priation of $400.00 for band concerts during the summer.
While this committee does not disapprove the object of this
petition, it feels that the town should not be asked to pay
the entire expense of an institution which is naturally re-
munerative to a few citizens. We believe it is the custom in
some towns to raise by subscription the larger part of what
is necessary and for the town to appropriate the balance.
Such a proposition might have met with the approval of our
committee but we did not feel that we could approve the ap-
propriation of so large an amount for the enjoyment of a
limited number of our townspeople and the lucrative benefit
of a very few citizens. Action upon the petition as it appears
therefore was indefinitely postponed by the committee.
We recommend that the Board of Assessors shall tax all
land on which are bill boards, as improved landL
We recommend the appropriation of $300,00 for the trim-
ming and removal of trees, to be expended by the Tree War-
den, under the direction of the Board of Selectmen. This
action is recommended in response to the request of Tree
Wardens and of many citizens.
We come now to the consideration of the requirements of
the several boards of the town government. First, we take
up the requirements of the Board of Selectmen.
The amounts voted last year were:
44
Highways .- $22,000.00
Incidentals 10,000.00
Police 11,201.00
Fire Department 11,700.00
Street Lighting 10,850.00
Street Watering 4,500.00
Removing Garbage and Ashes 5,300.00
$75,551-00
We recommend the appropriation of the following amounts
for these purposes for the present year:
Highways $25,000.00
Incidentals 10,000.00
Police 13,836.00
Fire Department 12,400.00
Street Lighting 11,350.00
Street Watering 4,500.00
Garbage and Ashes 5,000.00
$82,086.00
We further recommend that the amounts received for ex-
cise and franchise taxes and betterments be appropriated to
use on the highways, as last year.
We investigated carefully the conclusion reached by our
sub-committee on Police that a town ambulance had become
practically a necessity, and we are of the opinion that the
Board of Selectmen should be instructed to procure a com-
bination ambulance and patrol wagon. At our request an
article will be inserted in the town warrant covering this sug-
gestion.
The Board requiring the next largest appropriation is the
School Committee. For this department we recommend the
appropriation of $54,700.00, being $2,500.00 more than last
year, occasioned by requirements for extra teachers. Last
year you devoted the sum receved from fines collected from
defendants in criminal cases to the School Committee, for
plumbing at the Greenwood School. This year you have al-
45
ready appropriated about one-half the sum anticipated for
repairs and changes at the Police Station.
For the Board of Health we recommend the appropriation
of $1,400.00, the same as last year.
For the Overseers of the Poor we recommend the appro-
priation of $7,500.00, being $700.00 less than last year.
For the Public Library we recommend the appropriation
of $4,000.00, being $200.00 more than last year.
A comparative statement of the amounts appropriated in
1903 and 1904 and those advised by us for the current year,
is as follows:
1903. 1904. 1905.
Selectmen $86,300.00 $75,551.00 $82,086.00
Schools 55,600.00 52,200.00 54,700.00
Poor 10,000.00 8,200.00 7,500.00
Health 6,800.00 1,400.00 1,400.00
Library 4,000.00 3,800.00 4,000.00
Bonds, Notes and Interest 25,000.00 25,000.00 24,400.00
Salaries 5,685.00 5,760.00 5,460.00
Grand Army 200.00 200.00 200.00
Fourth of July 350.00
Voted in previous years to pay
from next tax levy 6,900.00 . . 1,000.00
Police Signal System 3,750.00
Steam Roller 2,650.00
Trees . . . . 300.00
$207,235.00 $172,111.00 $181,046.00
The information obtained by us as to the probable amounts
of the State and County taxes this year would seem to in-
dicate a phenomenal increase over last year. We have no
means of obtaining exact information but such as we have
points to an increase of perhaps $8,000.00 over 1904. Of
itself, this would cause an increase in the tax rate of about
fifty or sixty cents. The increase over last year in our rec-
ommended appropriation would amount to about $9,000.00.
46
In offset of this, the increased valuation is expected to be
somewhat less than normal. As to the Metropolitan charges
for sewer, parks, water and grade crossings, we have been
unable to acquire any exact information but we anticipate
they may not, in the aggregate, vary much from last year,
the amount for these purposes then being $32,899.85.
In closing we are pleased to state that all boards of the
town government have co-operated with us in our labors and
have approved of our findings. Every recommendation here-
in made has been adopted unanimously by this committee.
For the Citizens' Advisory Committee,
FRANCIS W. DARLING, Chairman.
WILLIAM E. NORWOOD, Clerk.

Report of the Board of Engineers of the
Fire Department.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen: The Board of Engineers herewith present
their annual report for the year ending January 31, 1905.
The Department has responded to ninety-five alarms dur-
ing the past year, fifty bell and forty-five still. There have
been fifteen no school signals, and we have answered four
Boston and three Dedham calls.
The Department has traveled 727 miles, laid 16,500 feet of
hose, 15,000 feet of chemical hose, raised 4,000 feet of lad-
ders, used 5,700 gallons of chemicals. At 51 fires we have
used the chemical engine only.
The following table shows property losses, etc. :
Buildings,
Contents,
Total, $163,400 $19,895 $101,400
We have extended the fire alarm system, have replaced
five miles of wire, have purchased and put up seven miles of
new wire, put in a tapper system for call men, and purchased
one new fire alarm box, so that we can have one extra box
on hand at all times, in case of accident.
All equipment is in good condition. The fire alarm system
should be extended every year and some new boxes added
and the old wire gradually replaced by new.
The apparatus now consists of three hose wagons, one

hose reel, one chemical engine, one ladder truck, two five
gallon hand chemical tanks, seven horses, five sets of double
swinging harness, one single harness, five thousand feet of
good hose, two thousand five hundred feet of poor hose,
one Eastman deluge set, a storage battery, forty-four fire-
alarm boxes, forty call bells on tapper system, thirty-five
miles of wire and ten single beds complete, all in good con-
dition.
The work of the Department for the past year has been
very gratifying to the Board of Engineers, ninety-six per
cent, of the men have answered all alarms for the year, show-
ing the great interest they take in the work.
The Board of Engineers wish to thank the Department for
the prompt and faithful work for the past year, to the Police
Department for their assistance and to the citizens for their
many kind words.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
The present police force assigned to regular duty consists
of fifteen men, namely a Chief, Lieutenant, eight night men
and five Sunday men. The number of Patrolmen is inade-
quate to meet the requirements of this part of the Police Ser-
vice. Two routes at least, covered by night officers, are so
long that a large part of their territory can be covered only
at great intervals. To relieve this situation two more regu-
lar men are required and I renew the recommendation of my
predecessor in this matter. The frequent calls for assistance
from the police department in cases of accidents present the
necessity of having a police ambulance with red cross equip-
ments. The large number of men now employed within our
town render the number of these calls to be on the increase
rather than otherwise. The number of female arrests and
oftentimes unsightly scenes in connection therewith also
102
suggests the need of such a vehicle for patrol duty. I there-
fore recommend installation of combination ambulance and
patrol wagon. At a recent town meeting provisions were
made for alterations in the Police Station.
I wish to make clear the necessity of these changes. At
present there is but one cell room, containing but four cells.
In the first place a separate room for female prisoners is
imperative for obvious reasons. Secondly the large number
of persons now being detained requires, however crude, in-
stallation of sanitaries, and a padded cell for the insane.
Lastly, the office should be on the ground floor where all
persons detained can be immediately brought to the atten-
tion of the officer in charge, for the purpose of future identi-
fication, etc., and he be in possession of a single key to the
cells instead of each officer ^having one as at present. In
conclusion, gentlemen, I desire to thank you for your uni-
form courtesy and confidence and also acknowledge the
efficiency and support of the members of this department.
Respectfully submitted,
JASON W. BUTTERS,
Chief of Police.

Report of the Park Commissioners.
One of our members, Frank B. Rich, elected Park Com-
missioner in 1902, was, at the last town meeting for the elec-
tion of officers, made a member of the Board of Selectmen
and understanding that he could not legally hold both offices,
resigned from the Park Board March 8, 1904.
As required by Chapter 336 of the Acts and Resolves of
the General Court in the year 1891, notice was immediately
given by the two remaining members of the board to the
Board of Selectmen that there was a vacancy in our board
and that we were ready to meet with them in joint session
to fill the vacancy for the unexpired term.
The' joint session was held March 21, 1904, and Stillman
E. Newell was chosen as the third member of the Park
Board.
This board has always had and expressed a lively interest
in the purification of the Neponset River and in our Ninth
Annual Report quoted Sections 1 and 2 and mentioned num-
ber 3, Chapter 541, of an act approved June 28, 1902. Under
this act the State Board of Health has during the past year
given notice to the authorities of the town of Norwood and
the owners of the tannery in that town to discontinue the
discharge of unpurified sewerage and waste into the river
after July 1, 1905. This is not only a very important but a
very difficult matter to accomplish and necessarily required
a very careful study. Although the odor from the stream
during some of the warm days last summer was quite marked,
we know that many of the small discharges of foul matter
into the stream were cut off.
119
March 30, 1904, the town voted as follows:
That the land set forth in Article 26 be used as a public
play-ground, and that the said land be placed under the con-
trol of the Park Commissioners for such purposes, and that
the Park Commissioners be directed to lay out the same as
a public play-ground, and that the cost of the same be paid
from funds now accredited to said Park Commissioners.
This land belonging to the town comprised about six acres
at the head of Sunnyside street. The ground was quite
rough and largely hard pan, making it expensive to grade and
no use whatever as a play-ground without grading. It was
generally understood that the sum of seven hundred dollars
would pay for grading the lot and this was based on a plan
showing a field laid off in thirty feet squares of one hundred
and eighty feet wide by three hundred and sixty feet long. The
plan was made and handed to the commission to work upon
by players of base ball, who were responsible for getting the
vote passed. Under competitive bids, the work was awarded
to an outside contractor who employed our townsmen in do-
ing nearly all the work, and it was only when the work was
nearly done that the size of the field was questioned, and the
commissioners, none of whom were ball players, learned that
one hundred and eighty by three hundred and sixty feet was
the standard size of a foot ball field, but not large enough for
the game of base ball. Having expended a sum equal to the
generally understood cost and with very little interest shown
in the matter by the young men and finding that to fit the
ground for football by clearing up the surface and loaming
and sowing grass would largely increase the expenditure,
even with the mandatory vote passed, the commissioners de-
cided to expend no more upon it without further instruction
from the town.
The amount expended has been: For Engineering, $25.00;
Grading, $700.00.
I20
Doubtless the mover and advocate of this vote had been
led to believe that the town lot was suitable and could be
graded for about the sum of seven hundred dollars to make
a good and sufficient ball ground, when in fact the balance
of the appropriation on which the Park Commission could
draw would not have sufficed by a considerable amount to
properly grade and finish a base ball ground. The ground
as graded would make a fine site for a hospital or other
building for benevolent purposes.
Camp Meigs. In 1893 an appropriation of sixty dollars
was made for the purchase of shrubbery for Camp Meigs.
During that year those living near cared for and watered the
plants at a great inconvenience, and the Hyde Park Water
Company, having agreed to furnish the water for them with-
out charge, an appropriation was made by the Board of one
hundred dollars for the purchase of pipe and hose and for
cleaning up the paths, trimming the grass, and small rustic
seats. Of this appropriation the sum of $75.61 has been ex-
pended.

Report of Overseers of the Poor.
The Overseers of the Poor herewith respectfully submit
their thirty-seventh annual report.
The death of Mr. Charles Lewis, for many years chairman
of the Board of Overseers, occurred at his home on the fifth
day of November last, after an illness extending over a pe-
riod of nearly a year. Kind and considerate, of sterling in-
tegrity, he had won the respect and esteem of his associates
and the community at large.
In comparing the work of the Overseers of the Poor for
one year with that of another we find very little change, ex-
cept in amounts expended, with very nearly the same lists of
names. By reason of change in law in relation to care of
pauper-insane, the expenses of the department are consider-
ably reduced. All inmates of institutions other than asylums
for the insane, are maintained as a direct charge to the town.
The falling off in the number of tramps lodged at the
lockup, as compared with that of last year, is most notice-
able. The police report 760 persons were lodged during the
year, while the record of the previous year was 3,198. This
great change is due solely to the action of the police, who
have adopted the plan of weeding out the professional
tramps and putting them into court as vagrants.
In consideration of the fact that there is due the town
from the State, cities and towns a sum amounting in round
numbers to $850, which sum will be collected during the en-
suing year, it is estimated that an appropriation of $7,300
will be sufficient to meet the expenses of the department.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the Citizens of Hyde Park:
We have the honor to present to you the following report
of the work of this Board for the year ending January 31,
1905.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
There has been reported to the Board during the year
ending December 31, 1904, 129 cases of contagious disease,
divided by months as follows:
Diphtheria. Scarlet fever. Measles, Typhoid fever.

Totals, 12 21 93 3
This table shows a marked decrease in the number of cases
of scarlet fever and typhoid fever over the corresponding
report of last year. There were no deaths from diphtheria,
measles or typhoid fever, and one only from scarlet fever.
There were 93 cases of measles reported to the Board as
against 3 the year previous. The total number of cases of
contagious disease reported to the Board was 3 less than
130
last year, and 215 less than two years ago. Considering the
increase in population in the town this is a favorable record.
The number of diphtheria cases was less than previous
years and there were no deaths. We cannot speak too highly
of the benefits of diphtheria anti-toxin; an early diagnosis
and prompt use are needed. It is indeed a blessing.
On January 3, 1905, a case of small-pox was discovered in
a boarding house on Waterloo Street in the Readville Dis-
trict. Living in the house at the time were 9 men, 2 women,
and 2 children. The men were employees of the Sturtevant
Blower Works. The house was immediately placed in quar-
antine and police officer stationed near to guard the house
night and day.
The Board consulted with Dr. T. B. Shea of the Boston
Board of Health, and arrangements were made to take the
patient to a contagious hospital in Boston. Next morning,
January 4, an ambulance from Boston removed said patient
from Hyde Park.
The other people in the house were vaccinated and provi-
sions and medical attendance supplied by this Board while
the quarantine was in force. Many of the employees of the
foundry where this man had been working were also vacci-
nated.
Upon investigation it was found that this man with a friend
had arrived in Boston on the steamship Cymric December
14, 1904, and they had both been exposed while on board to
this disease.
This Board was notified by the Boston Board of Health,
that five other persons were passengers on the same boat,
and were at that time in Hyde Park. We immediately
looked these people up and they were given a thorough
examination by the physicians of the Board.
On January 11, another case broke out at the quarantined
house 14 Waterloo Street. This proved to be the man who
came over on the Cymric with the first case. This second
i3i
patient was removed to Galloupe's Island by the Boston
Board of Health, the town thereby saving much expense.
We are pleased to say that these two cases were all we .had
and after two more weeks of quarantine (making three in
all) the people were released from 14 Waterloo Street. One
of the children in this house was a pupil of the Damon
School. The Damon School was therefore thoroughly fumi-
gated.
The Board strongly requests that all cases of consumption
where death takes place or the person so afflicted moves
from one house to another that this Board be notified of the
same and that it be allowed to disinfect the premises because
it believes such a step is one of prevention and in the right
direction. Statistics show that the ravages of consumption
have been greatly diminished the last few years by cleaner
and better ventilated dwellings. Prevent the spread of con-
tagion if possible.
This Board is connected with the Mass. Association of
Boards of Health, which is of much advantage in keeping its
members in touch with all duties pertaining to a Board of
Health and thereby in the front rank of sanitary advance-
ment.
COMPLAINTS.
We still request that all complaints to the Board be made
in writing and signed. The complainants are not divulged.
The knowledge of any matter requiring the Board's attention
should be immediately made known to it, that such matter
may be attended to at once.
SEWERAGE.
The number of connections with the public sewer are
about the same as last year. The Board strongly recom-
mends that sewers be built in Reddy Avenue and Rosa
Street and in the Holmfield and Readville Districts. In most
132
of this territory the ground is not suitable for the mainte-
nance of proper cesspools and is a constant source of com-
plaint from overflowing cesspools.
SURFACE DRAINS.
The Board after having many complaints from the Stony
Brook Water Shed in the Clarendon Hills District, and hav-
ing duly investigated the same deems it advisable that some-
thing be done to relieve the existing conditions in that
region.
The first two months of this year the collection of ashes
and swill was under the supervision of this Board, but at the
last appropriation meeting March 30, the Board of Selectmen
was given the care of this work and since the above date has
been under the control of this Board.
CHAS. F. STACK, Chairman,
WM. W. SCOTT, Secretary,
JOHN A. MORGAN.
Report of Inspector of Plumbing and Health Officer.
To Dr. C. F. Stack, Chairman, and Members of the Board of
Health, Town of Hyde Park:
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit to you my first
annual report, which is also the eighth from this office for
the year ending January 31, 1905.
There have been filed at this office 161 applications to do
plumbing work, with plans and specifications calling for the
following fixtures : Water-closets, 193 ; wash-bowls, 92 ; bath-
tubs, JJ; wash-trays, 76; sinks, 108; urinals, 7.
There have been filed in this office 86 applications to con-
nect with the public sewer.
Since assuming the duties of Plumbing Inspector, after
receiving my appointment from you on August 22, 1904, I
have made jy inspections of new plumbing work and in only
one or two cases was it found necessary to order any
changes. The relations existing between the Master Plumb-
ers and this office are most cordial.
There have been 15 cards posted for contagious disease,
fumigated 65 rooms, including the Damon School, .and used
for this work 52 quarts of formaldehyde.
I have received and investigated 25 complaints, making
56 calls in looking up these complaints, as in many cases the
trouble could not be located without going several times.
I have received quite a number of anonymous letters of
complaint, but would state that no notice is taken of such
letters. I would recommend to the public that all complaints
be made in writing and the complainant's name signed to
same. You may rest assured that all such communications
will be held as strictly confidential.
JAMES G. BOLLES,
Inspector of Plumbing and Health Officer.
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:.
Gentlemen: I herewith submit the report of the Tree
Warden for the year ending Jan. 31, 1905. Early in the
spring I commenced to give the trees in the town a thorough
trimming and had gone over about one-quarter of t,he town
when I was informed that there was no more money avail-
able, so I ceased work. Permission has been given to
remove trees on West and Webster Streets. There is much
trimming yet to be done in some parts of the town and I
would recommend that the sum of Three Hundred Dollars
be appropriated for the care and maintenance of trees.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWIN J. CHANDLER,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Hyde Park:
The number of pupils graduating from the High School
last June was thirty-one and the number of pupils entering
last fall was one hundred fifty-seven. It was so evident to
the School Committee that the entering class would be larger
than usual that a new teacher was engaged, and a new room
furnished before the opening of the fall term.
The increase in the number of the grammar school pupils
required an addition of one to the teaching force.
The opening of new rooms means an increase in the
expenditures for coal and also for supplies. In consequence
of these extra expenses we were obliged to ask an appro-
priation of $1,000 for salaries and fuel, which was unani-
mously voted. That this was not entirely unexpected will be
observed by a reference to last year's report of the School
Committee in which we said, referring to the grammar
schools: "We expect an increase in the number of school
children and naturally that would require more teachers,"
and in reference to the High School: "The increase may
require a new teacher in spite of all our attempts at
economy."
Your School Committee is not only willing but anxious
to co-operate with the other departments in town for an
economical administration of affairs. At the same time,
they deem it advisable to appropriate each year sufficient to
meet the expenditures for that year rather than to carry
them over to the next year. Economy does not mean post-
ponement of payment.
204
In our estimate of expenditures for the current year we
have been assisted by the Advisory Committee and the
estimate hereinafter given is the result of our joint efforts.
The number of pupils in our schools is larger than ever
before, and consequently the appropriations will have to be
larger, though the increase outside of salaries and fuel is
very moderate. However, we appreciate the fact that a
careful supervision of expenditures may bring better results
than large appropriations.
The patronage of the High School is still on rhe increase.
A larger proportion of grammar school graduates enter the
High School than formerly. The number of pupils gradu-
ating from the grammar schools next June will be about
eight or ten less than last year, although the entire member-
ship of our elementary schools has increased. The number
of pupils entering the High School from St. Raphael's will
be fully as large, and, possibly, a little larger than last year.
We, therefore, expect an entering class not quite so large as
last year, but numbering from 145 to 150. The number in
the graduating class of the High School is sixty-three.
Making the usual allowance for decrease in membership in
the classes already attending the High School, it is apparent
that there will be a further increase in the number of pupils
in the High School next year. The enrollment the present
year is 375, and the enrollment next year will, probably, not
be less than 400 and is likely to be more.
From these figures, it is apparent that another room must
be fitted up with desks and seats; that more seats must be
put in the Assembly Hall; and that an additional teacher
must be employed.
While we expect an increase in the attendance in the
grammar schools, we do not have any information which
shows that there should be an additional increase in the
number of teachers. Of course, it is possible that circum-
205
stances may change so that one or more teachers will have
to be added to the present force.
All of our public school buildings, with the exception of
the Damon, are now connected with the sewer. This build-
ing contains eight rooms, four of which are in use, accommo-
dating about 170 pupils. It is located near the blower works,
but while the location is far from ideal and might be
improved, yet the conditions are not likely to be any worse
next year than they have been. Doubtless, the land is valu-
able for business purposes, and it may be advisable for the
town, if it can get a proper price for the lot, to dispose of it
and change the location of the school. If no change is to
occur in the location, the building ought to be repaired and
connected with the sewer. A committee appointed by the
town at our last annual town meeting to "report as to
whether a change in the present location* of the Damon
School is necessary and if it is, to report as to the best loca-
tion and the approximate cost of making such change" is
still outstanding. Consequently, the School Committee do
not feel it to be their place to recommend any definite propo-
sition relating to the question. If, however, any consider-
able amount of money is to be expended on this building, it
will have to be raised by a separate appropriation for that
purpose as it is not included in the estimated expenditures
for the current year.
The attendance at the evening schools is larger than ever
before, and it appears to the committee wise to furnish good
facilities for the education of pupils not able to attend the
day schools. We, therefore, recommend an increase of $100
in the appropriation for this purpose.
For a number of years previous to last year, an appropria-
tion was made each year for an industrial school. Last year,
owing to the report of the Advisory Committee, no appro-
priation was made for that purpose. The chief reason for
this discontinuance is found in the fact that it adds to the
206
tax rate. For the same reasons as were given last year, the
committee have not included this in their estimate.
We recommend that the town raise by taxation the pres-
ent year for current school expenses the sum of $54,700,
divided as follows: ,
Salaries and fuel $44,800.00
Incidentals 5,000.00
Text books and supplies 3,600.00
Evening schools 1,300.00
$54,700.00
Reckoning the $2,000 appropriated for putting in sani-
taries at the Greenwood School, but taken from fines paid
by defendants in criminal cases, this estimate is an increase
of $500 over the total amount appropriated at the last annual
town meeting, but is $500 less than was appropriated during
the last fiscal year for school purposes.
Many towns in the state appropriate more money per
pupil, and more per thousand of the assessed valuation than
Hyde Park, yet the School Committee feel that the citizens
of our town have always been ready and willing to appropri-
ate for sc,hool purposes any sum of money that seemed nec-
essary or reasonable. Our schools in all departments will
compare favorably with any in the Commonwealth. We
have made a beginning in manual training, though we have
no separate department or special teacher. We have done
away with industrial schools at present, and have sub-
primaries instead of kindergartens. Yet our sub-primaries
have the essential elements of a kindergarten and are doing
excellent work. Our pupils have all the opportunities
requisite to. fit them for manhood and womanhood. If the
children have the incentive and the ambition to improve their
minds and fit themselves to perform the duties sure to fall
upon their shoulders as citizens of this Republic, our towns-
207
people will have no occasion to regret the sacrifices they
make to educate them all alike.
On Thursday, Jan. 4, 1905, some individual members of
the School Committee were informed that a man who a few
days before was a steerage passenger on the Cymric had
come down with small-pox in a house on Waterloo Street
and had been moved to a small-pox hospital on the day
before. Investigation showed that a girl from the infected
house had attended the Damon School on the third before
anyone knew that the house in which she resided was in-
fected. The school books used by this pupil were at once
burned, and the Board of Health was requested to fumigate
the school building, which was done. The committee also
took every other precaution to avoid the spread of the con-
tagion. It may be a matter worthy of remark that while
this unfortunate was being moved to the small-pox hospital,
two cases against the town to recover damages for the exclu-
sion of two unvaccinated children were on trial at Dedham.
In all departments of life and business, the moment one
problem is settled another is ready to take its place. The
High School and the Trescott School buildings were erected
to accommodate the pupils in our prosperous and growing
town, and before they are one-fourth paid for, other sections
are in need of thoughtful attention. But Hyde Park has
always met emergencies in the proper spirit, and doubtless
will continue to solve such problems as they arise with busi-
nesslike economy, without running too deeply into debt and
yet with a healthy spirit of progress, and with a determina-
tion to furnish the rising generation better opportunities for
education than any previous generation has had.
Our public schools were never in better condition than
they are today. Improvement can still be made in some
directions, but there are no glaring defects. Perfection in
any system cannot reasonably be expected, but if "each
tomorrow finds us further than today," it is all anyone should
208
ask in educational matters. Your School Committee is sat-
isfied that good progress has been made during the past year,
and that the outlook was never better.

A large share of time and effort during the first two or
three years of school is devoted to learning to read. If,
during this time, the learner is so fortunate as to have a
competent teacher employing the best methods of instruc-
tion, subsequent progress is rapid and comparatively easy
with constantly increasing independence and resourcefulness.
On the other hand, if the teacher is incompetent or the
method employed is faulty the period of weakness and
dependence is greatly prolonged and a distaste for school
reading is acquired which is carried over into all the school
studies based upon the use of textbooks. The question of
method in primary reading is, then, of very great import-
ance.
Nine years ago the committee adopted for use in the
primary schools a "phonic system" of books and manuals
which have continued in use until the present year. The
underlying method has many elements of strength, and, in
competent hands, .has proven very effective. The weakness
of the system lies in part in a mass of ingenious and some-
what fantastic teaching devices which, while not an essential
part of the method, form the most obvious element of the
system and, in practice, are likely to obscure and weaken its
really valuable elements. As used by the most successful
teachers, these devices are subordinated to the essential fea-
tures, many are omitted or greatly modified and the simpli-
fied system is adapted in various ways to the teacher's needs.
But this simplified and useful system is worked out with
considerable difficulty, is the result of years of patient experi-
menting, and is not available for new teachers. Another
serious defect, which is an essential element in the method, is
the mechanical application of the system to words which can
be read by the pupil at sight. To prevent sight reading, the
learner is caused to begin at the close of the sentence and
pronounce each word, beginning with the last, only after it
212
has been marked with diacritical symbols and the mean-
ingless sounds given in inverse order.
As compared with the so-called word method which it
supplanted, this phonic system when employed intelligently
is vastly superior. But choice is not limited to these ex-
tremes. The later combined systems as taught in the nor-
mal schools and widely used by teachers are equally effective
as a means of teaching reading, entail less strain upon
teacher and taught, are readily mastered by all the teachers
now in our primary schools, and are already familiar to most
new teachers.
For the reasons outlined above, one of the newer systems
was recommended after careful observation of the phonic
system in use. The recommendation has now been adopted
and the change has been made in the sub-primary and the
first grade. I am glad to report that there is no resulting
lack of efficiency in any school, while in most cases there is
a noticeable advance in the quantity and quality of work
accomplished during the fall term.
I wish to renew my recommendation that, when it is neces-
sary to replace worn-out books, the series of arithmetics in
use in grades second to fifth, inclusive, be introduced in the
three higher grades and that the seventh and eighth grades
be provided with text-books in English grammar in which
the essentials are emphasized and better illustrative material
is provided. The language books used in the lower grades
are very satisfactory. The advanced book is not completed
in the sixth grade and contains . sufficient material for the
seventh grade. If the second half of this book is adopted for
use in the seventh grade as recommended when the series
was adopted, a brief grammar giving a clear-cut review of
the essentials of technical grammar should be placed in the
eighth grade. The complete elementary course would then
give excellent preparation for the high school work in Eng-
lish to pupils whose mental development is sufficient to
•21-3
enable them to grasp abstract grammatical principles. If it
is still felt by the committee that more technical grammar
should be taught in the seventh grade than is provided in
this plan, the advanced book of a modern language series in
which grammar is given great prominence would lead to
better results in the seventh and eighth grades than the
present course.
To most pupils below the High School, English grammar
■is an extremely difficult subject. Indeed, this statement is
true of High School pupils of average ability and maturity.
The inadequate English preparation of the entering classes
of colleges is general and notorious. A part of the difficulty
is inherent in the subject and is unavoidable. But this neces-
sary difficulty is aggravated by two marked tendencies in the
older and in some of the newer textbooks. First, there is an
elaborate and intricate analysis and classification of the ele-
ments of the English language, with what seems to the
pupil whose ability to generalize is limited an endless array
of disconnected and irrational definitions, rules and excep-
tions. Second, the laudable purpose of placing before the
children for analysis the best examples of English prose and
poetry has led to the introduction of sentences from such
sources as Browning, Carlyle and Emerson, which are
obscure and sometimes meaningless to children. The text-
book in English for use in the seventh and eighth grades
should present the essentials of grammar clearly and simply
with an abundance of suitable illustrative material.
With the changes suggested above, our elementary schools
will be provided with modern textbooks in reading, arith-
metic, grammar, geography, and American history. The
best teachers are least dependent upon the book in teaching,
but a suitable textbook in any subject provides material
which must otherwise be written upon the blackboard or
given to the class in dictation. One of the advantages of free
214
textbooks lies in the possibility of the adoption of improved
books without involving financial loss.
The qualifications of the teachers is a subject of far greater
importance than that of the qualities of the books employed
in teaching. Among the teachers attracted to other towns
by higher salaries are some whose places it i is exceedingly
difficult to fill. There is usually a serious element of risk in
the exchange of experienced and eminently successful teach-
ers for those relatively unknown and inexperienced. That
there is, on the whole, no lowering of the standard of excel-
lence is undeniable. During the past six years, at least,
there has not been a time when the work of the schools was
so uniformly excellent as it is during the current school year.
Some of our best teachers remain after repeated opportuni-
ties to take positions in other suburban towns with higher
salaries. It frequently happens that teachers with brief ex-
perience are well equipped for t,he most exacting positions
and come to our schools because of the favorable location
to gain the added experience demanded by the larger towns.
It is doubtless true that if our best teachers could be paid
at the highest rates they would remain in our schools for
much longer periods with great advantage to our educational
interests. It is equally true that any faithful and well quali-
fied teacher earns far more than the salaries paid in the most
favored communities. But it is not true that, because of the
inadequate salaries, our teachers are incompetent or ineffi-
cient.
The work in drawing and construction has been in charge
of Miss Florence M. Wood since the resignation of Miss
Alice T. Boardman at the close of the fall term. Miss Wood
is a graduate of the Hyde Park High School, Dean Acad-
emy, and the Massachusetts Normal Art School and .has held
a scholarship at the Boston Museum Art School. She is
thoroughly qualified to supervise in this important depart-
215
ment of school work which has steadily grown in efficiency
since its establishment five years ago.
With the exception of writing! and the making of figures
in arithmetic, the drawing exercises are the only school
occupations provided for all the children which call for work
with the hands. When we consider that under the conditions
of modern town life most children during their school days
are deprived entirely of the many home and farm or shop
occupations which formed an important element in the educa-
tion of their parents, the meaning and necessity of manual
work in school is apparent. If the schoolgirl is to be taught
to sew well she must, in most cases, be taught at school.
If the boy is to learn to use tools properly he must learn at
school. And, since sewing is to the girl and the use of tools
is to the boy as useful and important, at least, as the names
and location of one-half the rivers, towns, and mountains of
school geography and one-half the names and dates of school
.history, the utilitarian argument for hand work in schools is
sufficiently strong. But the argument from the needs of
education is far stronger. As a result of the exclusively
literary education of the schools, in the absence of practical
home interests and habits of occupation, the graduates of
our schools have found themselves fitted by preparation and
interest only for further study along the same lines or for
clerical positions. Many lines of employment have been
thus closed to them, their sphere of usefulness is limited, and
their interests and sources of pleasure in life are circum-
scribed. It is in view of the unbalanced education im-
parted by the traditional school subjects, when not supple-
mented by home occupations, that drawing has become an
important element of school work, and the industrial appli-
cation of drawing to design has been emphasized. In all the
schools designs are applied to construction paper and simple
objects of use and ornament are constructed. In a few
cases, color has been applied in the primary grades in the
2l6
making of raffia baskets. In a number of the lower grammar
grades the pupils have been encouraged to use pocket knives
and thin pieces of wood from waste boxes in the construc-
tion of objects in accordance with carefully prepared designs.
In the primary grades seeds have been germinated and
plants grown to provide material for drawing lessons. The
interest and encouragement of parents in these lines of work
which are designed to give the children a desire for useful
activity, the ability to perform skilful work with their hands,
and interest in and respect for hand work and hand workers,
is general and most highly appreciated.
No one who has received instruction in music is likely to
underestimate its value as a means of discipline and a source
of lasting pleasure. The younger men and women of today
appreciate as their elders too often do not, the important
place which music rightly holds in the public schools. In our
own schools opportunity is given to every child who can dis-
tinguish pitch, who "has an ear for music," to learn to read
music and to sing acceptably. A very large proportion actu-
ally acquire a good elementary education in vocal music. The
study of music in our schools is so conducted as to form also
a substantial means of training and education in its broader
meaning. The work along both lines in this department dur-
ing the past year has been of excellent quality.
The continued appreciation of our High School as shown
by the constantly increasing membership is apparent. Hyde
Park pupils may receive in this school thorough preparation
for any college, while the courses are broad enough to pro-
vide general secondary education of a high order. The
actual scholastic work of the High School is excellent and
those elements of moral training which are of even higher
importance continue to give character to the school and to
all its departments and activities.
Your attention is invited to the reports of the Supervisors,
217
the Principal of the High School, the Evening School Princi-
pal, and the Truant Officer, which are appended.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK O. DRAPER,
Superintendent.
APPENDIX.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Hyde Park, Jan. 19, 1905.
Mr. F. O. Draper, Superintendent of Public Schools:
Dear Sir, — Music today is recognized as an integral part
of the child's education. As the public school system has
grown and developed in the United States, musical directors
and teachers of music have been appointed by the school
authorities in all our large cities and very many of the larger
towns. This recognition does not obtain alone in New Eng-
land, but throughout our land. The teaching of this subject,
however, is limited in its scope. It is confined to the ele-
mentary schools, where sight reading and singing are taught.
As an exercise it is healthful. As a mental discipline it is
excelled by few studies. By many physicians it is considered
a safeguard from those diseases that affect the breathing
organs. It teaches patriotism and tenderness, and inspires
sentiment.
''Music the fiercest grief can charm,
And fate's severest rage disarm.
Music can soften pain to ease,
And make despair and madness please;
Our joys below it can improve,
And antedate the bliss above." ■
There is a well defined movement among musical educa-
tors to establish a course of music in the High Schools. Th^
New England Educational League has outlined a tentative
course which includes the study of the piano, organ, voice,
or any other instrument of the Symphonic Orchestra, and
the study of harmony, additional to the one period of choral
work as at present. Upon inquiry I find that sixty of our
222
High School pupils are studying piano, twenty-two the
violin, four the voice, and a half dozen more other instru-
ments. T,hus nearly twenty-five per cent, of our High
School pupils are pursuing musical studies in addition to the
regular course. Such a condition invites the question:
Could any credit be allowed the pupils for such study toward
the completion of their High School course, and would it be
a wise move to include in the High School the further study
of music, making it an elective?
Our schools in town have been doing satisfactory work in
music. Individuality is encouraged and much enthusiasm
prevails in nearly all the classes. The teachers have most
willingly carried out the suggestions of the Supervisor, and
I believe good work is being accomplished. I would like to
thank the Superintendent for his cordial support and also
the Committee for their interest in my department.
Yours respectfully,
B. HAROLD HAMBLIN.
Supervisor of Music.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
Mr. Frank O. Draper, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir, — The short time that I have been at work in t,he
schools hardly makes it possible for me to give any extended
report of my work or its results, but I can say that I find
interest and enthusiasm on the part of both pupils and teach-
ers, and the work in good condition to be carried forward.
I am devoting my whole time to this town, spending two
days each week at the High School, and visiting each room
in the other buildings every two weeks.
Very respectfully yours,
FLORENCE MONROE WOOD,
Supervisor of Drawing.
REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
Mr. Frank O. Draper, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir, — In accordance with your request, I submit
herewith my sixth annual report of the High School for the
year 1904.
The enrollment in December was 375. T,he membership
was 363. The membership by classes was as follows:
1st year I51
2d year 91
3d year 54
4tri year 61
Post-graduates 6
Total 363
224
Miss Alary E. Houston, teacher of English, resigned in
June on account of ill health, and during the summer Mr.
Charles W. French sent in his resignation because of a more
lucrative offer from New York. To fill these places and to
supply the necessary teaching force for the increased number
of pupils the following teachers were chosen: Miss Mabel
G. Taylor of Wellesley, Mass., Miss Jane L. Kendall of Man-
chester, Mass., and Mr. Charles W. Amiable of Charlestown,
Mass. Otherwise we are fortunate in retaining the same
teachers as last year. If we glance at the list of teachers for
this year we see that there are three men and ten women.
The best secondary school authorities believe that there
should be at least as many men as women teachers, and this
becomes more urgent as the numbers in the school increase.
It would seem wise, when it becomes necessary to add to our
present number, to act in accordance with the above belief.
Owing to the increased number of pupils a room on the
third floor was furnished during the summer and opened at
the beginning of the school year. This room was used for
two years for the typewriters, as it had better accommoda-
tions than the regular typewriting room. This makes nine
regular class rooms. Another will be needed at the begin-
ning of the next school year.
In conversing with the parents I have always found them
in general ready to co-operate, and to do what seemed for
the best interests and welfare of the schools. When, how-
ever, any special project is mentioned it is acknowledged to
be a good move, but there is a reluctance, which for all prac-
tical purposes is negative, to stand boldly and say I believe
it is right. This would indicate either a shifting of responsi-
bility or a fear of leadership. I believe that it is the latter for
the larger number. There is nothing that would be a greater
help to our school than better attendance and less so called
social life. In both of these the parents can do more than
the teachers as they are really the responsible parties. We
225
hear complaints about the financial loss to the town because
of the "no school" signal, or a "visiting day," but reckon if
you will the loss when there are some two hundred absences
in each month of from seventeen to twenty days, forty to
fifty tardy from five to fifty minutes, and as many dismissed
losing as much if not more time. And yet we meet here a
most alarming indifference and lack of parental firmness. If
each of the parents having children in t)ie school would
heartily join with the school authorities in a crusade against
absence, tardiness and dismissal one of the greatest draw-
backs to class room and school work could easily be re-
moved. In some places public sentiment supports the
teacher in refusing to dismiss a pupil. •
The social problem is everywhere recognized as a serious
question and one to which much attention is being given.
T,he home, the church, friends, all have their demands upon
the young man or woman which must be acknowledged.
The school cannot, should not receive more than its share.
How, then, shall the time be divided? The question is met
in different localities in as many different ways. The ex-
tremes are where the school makes itself the social as well
as the educational centre, and where the school refuses to
accept any responsibility for the social life of its pupils.
Neither of these extremes answers the question. I believe
there is a "golden mean" which may be found in the right
understanding between school and home, and which takes
into account the ability of the individual pupil. In this
school we have recognized four social events during the year
which more or less affect the whole school: Two Prize
Drills, an Officers' Party, and the Senior Dramatics. This
does not seem to be excessive, but when you take into
account the various athletic interests and class socials you
have a somewhat formidable list if you expect pupils to do
well in four years the amount of work required of the High
School. The question needs careful thought and discussion
226
in each home, and a sound judgment which will be approved
by all and put into force.
In June the class of 1904 presented to the school, to be
placed in Room 21, three fine pictures: The Automedon or
Horses of Achilles by Regnault, the Delphic Sibyl by
Michael Angelo, and a colored print of St. Mark's in Venice.
The class of 1903 at its last meeting voted to lay aside some-
thing each year toward tjhe further adornment of Room 22,
in which they placed their gift last year. It would now be
appropriate to recognize this action in some way.
Through the generosity of the Education Society we have
a good stereopticon. We now need slides, or a fund which
may be used to hire them. Slides were loaned to us from
Harvard last spring and we counted on the continuance of
the privilege t,his year, but their generosity was short lived.
The Battalion is working well under the revised regula-
tions adopted in May. It became necessary to form and
equip a third company at the opening of school. This occa-
sioned many new questions, but they have been easily solved
under the new regulations. The town now has no adequate
facilities for this line of work. It is hoped that the officers
of the last two battalions will use funds left in their hands
either for trophy cases or further adornment of the Assembly
Hall.
Thanking you, Sir, and the Committee for their support, I
remain, Respectfully yours,
M. S. GETCHELL,
Principal.
REPORT OF EVENING SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
Hyde Park, January 23, 1905.
Frank O. Draper, Esq., Superintendent of Schools, Hyde
Park, Mass.:
Dear Sir, — I submit herewith the following report of the
Evening School, for the year beginning October 31, 1904.
The enrollment, average attendance and average ages in
the different departments are as follows:
The enrollment is as follows:
English Department 174
Business Department 79
Drafting Department 45
Average Attendance:
English Department 71
Business Department 44
Drafting Department 30
Average Age:
English Department 21
Business Department 19
Drafting Department 23
I also give below the enrollment and average attendance
for the three previous years, also the present year, which
may be interesting for comparison.
The enrollment is as follows:
1901-02 173
1902-03 272
1903-04 226
1904-05 298
228
Average attendance :
1901-02 96
1902-03 96
1903-04 104
1904-05 14S
It will be noticed by glancing at the above figures that the
enrollment and average attendance are in excess of the
previous years.
In the English Department last year we had four teachers
until about January 1st, and then the attendance dropped so
that we were able to get along with two. This year we had
to have five until January 1st, and as the attendance de-
creased we found we could, by making some changes in the
classes, get along with four.
The Business Department has the same teachers as last
year, and has some exceptionally bright scholars who are
making splendid progress in their work.
The Drafting Department is in charge of Mr. Carl King
of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The work is
divided into two classes: Mechanical and Machine Drawing.
The majority of the men who are taking the Mechanical
drawing are taking it preliminary to Machine drawing and
the course is designed with this in view. The men, who by
reason of previous work in drawing are able to cover more
ground than the average member of the class, are able to do
this and at the same time keep along with the rest of the
class in the lecture work.
The members of the class in Machine drawing are mostly
machinists and the object of this course is to give them
something that will be of practical value to them.
The deportment in the school has been exceptionally good.
Thanking you for your many helpful suggestions in regard
to t,he work, I remain,
Very respectfully,
B. M. CHITTICK,
Principal..

Solitary lieth the city, she tnat was full of people!

Princess among the provinces, how is she put under tribute!
Sorely she weepeth in darkness, her tears are on her cheeks:
And no one off'reth consolation, yea all her friends have be-

Zion's ways do languish, none come to her solemn feasts:
All her gates are desolate: her priests sigh;
Yea, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
Is it nothing to all ye that pass by? Is it nothing?
Behold, and see if there be any sorrow that is like unto my

Music by Robert Emerson Davie
Four short years have passed, dear classmates,
And 'tis time that we must part;
Severed are the bonds of union,
Which have joined each heart to heart.
Step by step we have proceeded
Up the hill of work and pain,
From the foot, where trials gathered,
To the top, where Honor reigns.
Now we start on life's broad journey,
And its varied paths we take;
But our own beloved High School
We shall ne'er for aught forsake.
We may meet, and we may never,
On our long and rocky way,
But the friendship we've imparted,
Shall with us forever stay.
. Onward, then, through life we'll travel,
Striving to attain the end,
Where we meet Queen Glory reigning,
And her subjects who attend.
Praise and honor shall await us
At the throne of Glory fair,
With the prize that we have taken,
And the merits that we share.
Let us bid farewell forever
To our Alma Mater dear;
But our love for it shall strengthen,
And grow firmer year by year.
Farewell now, beloved classmates,
Never let our honor lower,
But bring credit to our High School,
And the class of Nineteen-four.

WORDS OF ODE.
Classmates dear as here we gather,
Ere we bid these scenes adieu,
Let us join once more our voices
In a voice to dear old Grew.
Here since first we sought for knowledge
Eight long years have sped away,
And in passing each one brought us
Near to this parting day.
And where'er fate casts our fortunes
Or what paths we may pursue,
We will ever cherish memories
Of our teachers good and true.
And the motto we have chosen
Keep it ever as our guide,
In the heart of every classmate
Let "Integrety" abide.
238
Now has come the time for parting
From the scenes we love so well,
Each dear room and pleasant play ground
We must bid them all farewell.
Farewell teachers and companions
With sad hearts we turn from you,
Other paths of duty call us
Now Good Bye to dear old Grew.

YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 1905

Report of the Trustees of the Public Library.
The Trustees are happy to be able again to report a year
of uninterrupted prosperity and usefulness.
Continuing their policy of placing as many books as pos-
sible directly before the readers for their selection, instead
of obliging them to choose by titles from the card catalogue
or to be guided solely by the advice of the librarians or their
friends, the Trustees have placed in the Delivery Room an
additional book-case which will be kept stocked with the
newer books and those on topics of current interest. They
recognize the educational influence of the habit of browsing
among books, and while they have not found it practicable
to admit readers to the stack-room, they have by constantly
increasing the number of books on the shelves in the Read-
ing Rooms and the Delivery Room brought the readers into
direct contact with a large body of interesting and instruc-
tive literature.
In this connection we are glad to say from our own obser-
vation and the testimony of others that the Library has
never been frequented by a more orderly and earnest class of
readers than during the past year. This is due, in part at
least, to the efficiency of the custodian of the Reading
Rooms.
The number of books at Readville has been increased and
an excellent Cyclopaedia of recent date has been placed in
the Reading Room there. The Library has been most fortu-
nate in receiving as a gift from Mrs. Mabel Hunt Slater of
Milton, through Rev. James J. Chittick, a large and beautiful
oil painting, which has been hung in the entrance hall. It is
a copy of the picture at Rome by Leonardi representing
262
Guido Reni painting the celebrated portrait of Beatrice
Cenci in her cell while awaiting execution. *
There have also been placed in the entrance hall two sec-
tions of Thorwaldsen's bas-relief representing the triumphal
entrance of Alexander into Babylon.
The Trustees have had under consideration various sug-
gestions for improving the Library service without having
yet reached definite conclusions in all cases. For the details
of the increased circulation and other statistics we refer you
to the Librarian's report which follows.
For the Trustees,
HENRY B. MINER,
Chairman.
LIBRARIANS REPORT.
To the Board of Trustees of the Hyde Park Public Library:
Gentlemen, — I herewith present the report of the Library
for the year ending January 31, 1905.
The Library has been open 304 days. The circulation at
the Central Library has been 67,907, an increase of 1,009 over
that of 1903. The circulation at the Branch Library in Read-
ville has been 2,300, making the total circulation 70,207, an
increase of 2,147 over that of 1903.
It is gratifying to note that more people are availing them-
selves of the privilege of taking the current magazines for
three days, the number of magazines issued having been
3,250 over against 2,907 in 1903.
Several times during the year we issued for home use over
500 books in one day, reaching the maximum on March 19,
when 578 books were issued, the largest number ever given
out in one day. The net increase in number of borrowers at
the Central Library is 434.
We are pleased to notice an increasing use of reference
books. There has never been a more earnest, intelligent use
of reference books among the young people than has been
manifest during the fall and winter.
The Electrical World, Garden Magazine, Craftsman and
Magazine of Art have been added to our list of periodicals
for 1905.
Among the most notable books purchased during the year
are Hastings' Dictionary of tjie Bible, v. 5; Grangers Index
to poetry and recitations; the completing volume of Cham-
ber's Encyclopaedia of English literature; New International
Encyclopaedia and Encyclopaedia Americana.
Through the Library Art Club the following collections of
pictures have been exhibited: English country churches;
English country houses; German festoons; Nuremberg;
Holland; Elson prints; Italian art, No. 1; Italian art, No. 2;
Daughters of the revolution; Munich, and Birds.
The new book cases in the Delivery Room afford people
a better chance to select books for themselves. Gratification
has been expressed at seeing works of standard fiction which
have been placed in one of the new. cases.
The circulation in the young people's department is not
quite equal to that of 1903, but the work offers much en-
couragement. There is an increasing use of works of travel,
nature, biography and other classes of non fiction so well
written for young people. One child who came to the
Library for a "good book," when shown a story said: "I
don't want a story, I want books about history, birds, ani-
mals and things." The first book asked for by a Russian boy
was a history of the United States.
Lists of new and interesting books, holiday and festal day
lists have been posted. There has been a net gain of 160
registrations in this department.
As heretofore, thanks are due to those who send periodi-
cals for use in tjhe reading room, and to the local papers
264
through whose columns notices and lists of books have been
printed.

B(MRD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.
To the Citizens of Hyde Park:
Your Board of Sewer Commissioners beg to submit the
following report of work done by this department from Jan.
31 to Dec. 31, 1904.
The organization of the department remains the same as
last year, as shown on preceding page.
Under the supervision of your Board there has been
expended, to Dec. 31, 1904, the sum of $9,357.27 as per
vouchers on file and exhibited in table No. 1 annexed to this
report.
Sewer assessments have been computed and bills amount-
ing to $5,337.64 have been duly rendered upon the comple-
tion of sewer in each street.
The value of stock on hand is $1,618.54, as shown in table
No. 2 annexed to this report.
Your Board reports the construction of 3.957 lineal feet
of sewer in 1904. The details of such construction are shown
in the following table :

Total, 3956-9 feet.
Equals, .75 miles
Previously reported, '7-93 miles.
Total length of Sewers constructed to date, 18.68 miles.
All sewers were built on petition of abutters after due con-
sideration by this Board. Connections were made with same
in each instance upon completion of sewer.
The cost of maintenance for 1904 has been very light,
amounting to $90.94. This sum was expended in changing
manhole covers in Readville Street and for flushing.
Except for a partial stoppage in Business Street there has
been no trouble from deposits in the sewers.
Sewer assessment record plans and profiles are completed
to date.
Surveys and studies have been made for the Holmfield,
Clarendon Hills and Stony Brook areas and construction
plans completed for a portion of the Holmfield area. It was
the intention of this Board to let contracts for a considerable
portion of this work the coming season.
The construction of the Clarendon Hills and Stony Brook
trunk sewer will involve the most difficult engineering prob-
lem that has been encountered in the Hyde Park sewerage
systom; requiring a large size pipe on an extremely flat
grade, crossing Stony Brook some half a dozen times. A
portion of the line is through soft ground where foundation
will have to be constructed of timber or concrete or both.
One section of about 300 feet will have to be laid on a pile
foundation.
While nothing definite had been decided it is probable
that the route of this trunk sewer would have been laid out
as follows: Beginning at the Metropolitan sewer near Brad-
293
lee Street and running to Bradlee Street; thence on Bradlee
Street about 306 feet; thence at right angles across private
land to Huntington Avenue; thence on Huntington Avenue
to "Madison Street"; thence on "Madison Street" to Hyde
Park Avenue ; thence on Hyde Park Avenue to Metropolitan
Avenue with a 24-inch pipe; thence with a 20-inch pipe
through Metropolitan Avenue and Providence Street to a
point south of where Stony Brook crosses the Providence
Division of the N. Y., N. H. and H. R. R.; from there a
12-inch pipe to West Street; thence by a line south of West
Street to Summer Street; thence through Summer and West
Streets to Austin Street; thence through Austin Street to
drain the low portions of the Sunnyside district. This
12-inch pipe is estimated to drain the Sunnyside district until
such time as the Stony Brook line is constructed, when the
flow can, if deemed advisable, be diverted through that line.
In the spring of 1904 the following Act was passed by the
Massachusetts Legislature:
Chapter 339. An Act to abolish the Board of Sewer Commissioners
of the Town of Hyde Park.
Be it enacted, etc., as follows:
Section 1, The Board of Sewer Commissioners of the Town of
Hyde Park is hereby abolished and the powers and duties now per-
taining to that board shall hereafter pertain to the selectmen of the
town.
Sec. 2. No contracts, rights, liabilities, takings, assessments, suits
or other business now existing or pending shall be affected by this
Act, but the selectmen shall in all respects and for all purposes be
the lawful successors of the said Board of Sewer Commissioners.
Sec. 3. This Act shall take effect upon its acceptance by the voters
of the said town voting thereon at a legal meeting called for the
purpose. The vote shall be by ballot, and the check list shall be
used.
Approved May 13, 1904.
Article 3 of the warrant for the Town Meeting held Dec.
28, 1904, reads as follows:
294
To see if the town will vote to accept the provisions of Chapter
339 of the Acts and Resolves passed by the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts during the session of 1904.
This Act is entitled 'An Act to Abolish the Board of Sewer Com-
missioners of the Town of Hyde Park." If adopted by the town the
powers and duties now pertaining to that board shall hereafter per-
tain to the selectmen of the town.
This article was voted on and decided in the affirmative,
thereby abolishing this Board.
HOUSE CONNECTIONS.
Eighty-six house connections were made during the eleven
months ending Dec. 31, 1904, with an aggregate length of
4,789 feet. Total number to date, 799; total length, 40,537
feet or 'j.'j miles.
The work has been under the direct supervision of this
Board, as heretofore, at an average cost of about sixty cents
per foot.
The following data may be of interest as no information
of a like nature has heretofore been published. While many
of the figures given are based on estimates, they are reason-
ably accurate.
Number of connections compared with number of dwell-
ings within sewered territory by districts:

for cause, after due notice and hearing, upon charges previously filed
with them. Whenever said inspector of buildings is temporarily un-
able to perform the duties of said office by reason of absence from
town, from illness or any other cause, the selectmen may appoint an
inspector of buildings pro tempore, who shall act as such inspector
while such inability continues. He shall keep a record of the business

business; ascertain all facts and make all returns which shall be re-
quired by law relative to steam boilers or other matters connected

alteration of buildings but no such permit shall be issued until the in-
spector has carefully examined the plans and specifications of the
proposed building or alteration and ascertained that the building has
sufficient strength and that the means of ingress and egress are suffi-
312
cient. A copy of the plans and specifications of every public build-
ing shall be deposited with the inspector.
2. — Every person intending to build or make any alteration in the
external or party walls of any building shall, before commencing the

time than one year.
3- — All chimneys in wooden buildings shall be built of good hard
brick, stone, or other fire-proof non-conducting material. All brick
flues shall have the mortar joints smoothly "jointed" inside from top
to bottom or lined with earthen pipe, and shall be plastered outside
below the roofing. No soft brick shall be used in the construction
of a chimney. Whenever the inspector so requires, the shells of flues
for boilers, ovens, ranges, furnaces and heaters shall be of brick work
eight inches thick, or its equivalent, to the top of the second story
floor or to a height of fifteen feet above such ovens, ranges, furnaces
or heaters, and the inspector shall determine what constitutes such,
equivalent.
4. — In no case shall chimneys rest upon any flooring without a
footing of masonry or iron supported by iron beams, having a secure
bearing of masonry or iron at either end, or be more than four inches
out of centre of gravity unless the same be attached to a brick wall.
5. — All flues shall be topped out at least four feet above the roof of
the building to which they belong. The brick topping out of chim-
neys shall not have more than two inches projection unless covered
by a cap of metal or stone properly secured.
6. — Hearths of fireplaces or grates shall be laid upon brick or other
trimmer arches, not less than eight inches thick or upon bars of iron

inches thick and when arched over shall be securely tied to brick-
work of chimney.

than one inch from the outside brick-work of any flue. In no case
shall a nail be driven into the masonry of any flue.
9. — No wood-work shall be placed at a less distance than one-half
inch from any tin or other metal flue or flues, pipe or pipes, used or
intended to be used to convey heated air or steam in any building,
unless such flues or pipes shall be cased with metal, leaving a free
circulation of air all around the same.
3^3
I0- — No smoke pipe in any wooden or frame building shall here-
after enter any flue unless the said pipe shall be at least twelve
inches from either the floors or ceiling; and in all cases where smoke
pipes pass through stud or wooden partitions of any kind whether
the same be plastered or not, they shall be guarded by either a
double collar of metal, with at least four inches of air space and
holes for ventilation or by a soap stone or plaster of paris ring, not
less than three inches in thickness and extending through the par-
tition.
II. — All frames shall be built with posts, plates and girts, properly
mortised, tenoned, braced and pinned and supported by suitable
studding, the posts and girts to be not less than four inches by six
inches or equivalent thereto, provided however that ledger boards
may be used in place of girts if the spaces back of the same, between
the studding be filled with joist in such manner as to prevent draft
in case of fire.
12. — The Inspector of Buildings shall examine all shops and other
places where shavings or other combustible material may be de-
posited or collected, and at all times be vigilant in the removal of
the same, whenever in his opinion the same may be dangerous to the
security of the town from fires; and direct the owner, tenant or oc-
cupant of said shops, or other places, to remove the same; and in
case such owner, tenant or occupant refuses or neglects so to do,
shall cause the same to be removed at the expense of such owner,
tenant or occupant.
13. — It shall also be the duty of said inspector to take cognizance
of all buildings in the town in which any steam engine shall be used,
and to examine all buildings in town in process of erection or alter-
ation and all buildings under application to raise, enlarge, alter, or
build upon and for that purpose shall have the right of entry thereto,
and to make a record of the same and of all violations of these
building laws, and of such buildings as in his judgment may from
any cause be dangerous, and report any dangerous building to the
selectmen forthwith, together with the location of the building where
such violations are found and the name of the owner, lessee, occu-
pants, architect and master mechanic and all other matters relating
thereto. These records shall at all times be open to the inspection
of the engineers of the fire department or selectmen of the town.
14. — Any alterations or additions to any building already erected
or hereafter to be built, except necessary repairs not affecting the
construction of the external or party walls, chimneys or stairways,
3H
shall to the extent of such work, be subject to the regulations of
these By-Laws. No building already erected or hereafter built shall
be raised or built up in such manner that were such building wholly
built or constructed after the passage of these By-Laws it would be
in violation of any provision thereof.

tially destroyed by fire or otherwise, without the written permit of
the Board of Selectmen.
No addition which shall exceed fifteen feet in height from the
ground to the highest part thereof, or which shall exceed five hun-
dred superficial feet in area, shall be made to any wooden building
within said limits, without permission from the selectmen after a
hearing of which public notice shall be given; provided, however,
that the owner, or other person interested, may make any necessary
repairs upon any wooden or frame building: already built, if the
height of said building be not thereby increased; and a flat roof, cov-
3i5
ered with metal or other non-combustible material, may be substi

Auditor's Report.
We have examined the vouchers and accounts of the
following: Selectmen, Treasurer, Treasurer Pro Tern, Tax
Collector, School Committee, Overseers of the Poor, Trus-
tees of the Public Library, Board of Health, Sewer Com-
missioners and Cemetery Commissioners for the year ending
January 31, 1905, and find the same to be correct.
The accounts of our former Tax Collector, George San-
ford, deceased, have been closed by George R. Lovering,
Collector Pro Tern, and we find same to be correct.
We are in accord with the suggestion made by the Audit-
ors of last year with respect to the following, which we
quote in full: "We believe that the best interests of the
town demand that the citizens keep close scrutiny upon
appropriations and expenditures. We believe that the most
feasible way to do this is through preferably one Auditor
who shall audit all bills before payment and keep a balance
sheet showing the condition of the various appropriations at
all times during the year. We suggest, therefore, that the
citizens consider the advisability of making a change in the
Town By-laws, whereby it shall be obligatory upon all the
various departments of the town to submit all bills and
orders to an Auditor for his approval if correct, after an
approval by the department making the expenditure, and
before payment by the Town Treasurer. We appreciate
that the system advocated would make very considerable
demands upon such an Auditor's time, adding, as it would,
to the already large amount of work devolving upon three
Auditors, the additional duties suggested. We believe, how-
ever, that the town would be the gainer thereby and that the
change would effect a decided advance in the auditing of
town accounts."
327
The benefits which would accrue to the town from the adoption
of the foregoing suggestion are two. In the first place, there will
have been instituted a more complete system of auditing, in that
accounts will be audited before, as well as after, payment. And,
in the second place, the full responsibility for all town finances
would then rest upon one man, the Auditor, instead of it being
spread over several, men or departments.
We feel that the By-law suggested might well require such an
Auditor to draw off a trial balance at least monthly, and submit
the same to the various Boards, having the custody and
expenditure of town funds, for their inspection.
Respectfully submitted,
