Making the total City Debt at this time, . . $246,040 95
The times when this sum becomes payable, may be seen by re-
ferring to the schedule of the City Debt, accompanying this
report.
There has been received from the sales of land, the sum of
$11,115 92 ; and of this sum, there has been appropriated
towards the reduction of the City Debt, in conformity to a vote of
the City Council, $8,825 ; and the balance, except the amount
paid for interest, now remains in the Treasury.
There remain in the Treasury, notes of sundry individuals
secured by mortgage, of $51,043 80, which, as they become
due, will be appropriated to the hquidation of the City Debt, as
directed.
The expenditures for Schools show an increase over the pre-
ceding year of some $3,000.
By an order of the City Council, the pay of the officers and
members of the Fire Department has been increased, which ac-
counts for the excess of expenditure over the preceding year.
The contingent expenses of the Department, however, show a
reduction for the same time.
The Police Department shows an increase of expenditure of
$1,473 28 ;
The cost of gas, fluid, lighting and repairs of Lamps, show a
reduction of $2,917 88 ;
For support of Poor there is a reduction of $1,304 12 ;
For Highways, Bridges, and Sidewalks there is a reduction of
$8,710 84.

In 1555, the Surveyors of Highways ordered edge-stones to be
placed m front of the estates of several abutters, under the author-
ity of an act of the Legislature, entitled " An Act to regulate the
Sidewalks in the City of Eoxbury," approved March 26, 1855,
at a cost of $2,167 41. There has been received from sundry
abutters, since January 1st, of the present year, the sum of
$342 52, and the remaining bills have been placed in the hands
of the City Solicitor for collection.
According to the Report of last year, the cost of widening
Washington Street, northerly side, was $22,617 57. Expended
during the year $445 12. Making the total cost $23,162 69.
There is but one claim remaining unadjusted. For widening
Washington, corner of Eustis Street, the cost heretofore was
$3,817 96. Expended during the year $87 43. Making the
total cost $3,905 49. All the claims upon the City for this im-
provement have been liquidated.
The cost of widening Ruggles Street was $2,148 18. Two
claims remain unadjusted.
There was appropriated $1,100 00 for constructing a drain in
Cabot Street, and $1,071 34 of the same has been expended.
There has been received $66 50 from abutters, and a much
larger amount may be expected the coming year from others, who
Avill doubtless avail themselves of the privilege of draining their
estates into this main.
The cost of Reservoirs for the year, was $258 56. This
expenditure was entirely for repairs. Should the pipes of the
Aqueduct Company be laid through our streets the coming season,
an opportunity will be offered to obtain a better supply of water
from Hydrants, which will obviate the necessity of constructing
any more Reservoirs, except in such locahties as can be supplied
in no other manner.
By law, the proceeds of sales of lots or rights of burial in the
Cemetery at Forest Hills, are yearly paid into the City Treasury,
and kept separate from any other funds of the city, and subject
to the order of the Commissioners, to be applied by them in the
manner provided by law. For full details concerning the Ceme-
tery, reference mny be made to the Annual Report of the Com-
missioners, which is appended.
The amomit received into the Treasury from Feb-
ruary 1, 1856, to Feb. 1, 1857, from sundry
persons, for sales and grading lots, including
balance on hand, was $23,420 20
And the amount paid upon the drafts or orders of
the Commissioners for the same period, was . 20,962 75
Leaving a balance in the Treasury, Feb. 1, 1857, of $2,457 45
The Cemetery Debt, Feb. 1, 1856, was . . $24,000 00
Of which there has been paid during the year, . 3,000 00
Reducing the debt to . . $21,000 00

It will be seen by the accompanying Reports of the Superin-
tendent and Physician of the Ahnshouse, that the condition of
that estabhshment is highly satisfactory. Thx) number of inmates
during the past year has not been greater than the year previous.
The health of the inmates has been well provided for, only three
deaths having occurred during the year. Every proper attention
has been given to the wants and comfort of those of our citizens,
who, when reduced to poverty through misfortune or sickness,
have a claim upon the city for rehef or support, which cannot be
and should not be denied.
The officers connected with the Almshouse establishment have
performed their duties faithfully and well, and to the entire satis-
faction of the Board.
The expenses of the whole establishment for the support of the
poor, form a considerable item in the City Expenditures, — but
not greater than can reasonably be expected in a city as popu-
lous as our own, and where, owing to a large foreign population,
there is, through a considerable portion of the year, a pressure
and necessity for a very considerable amount of outside relief, a
mode of rendering assistance, which, while Avisdom dictates close
investigation and careful discrimination of cases, humanity forbids
us to withhold.

relief.
We have been highly favored the past year with very good
health of the people who have been in the house ; for there has
been but three deaths at the house during the year, and one of
67
them was a State pauper that was too sick to be sent to the State

REPORT
PHYSICIAN TO THE ALMSHOUSE
To the Board of Overseers of the Poor for the City of Roxhury :
Gentlemen, — The inmates of the Almshouse the past year
have been comparatively exempt from diseases of an acute char-
acter : although nearly all of them have at different times required
medical treatment, more or less protracted. The inroads upon
the physical powers of the inmates, produced by deprivation of the
comforts and necessaries of life, and other causes, previous to
admission to the house, peculiarly predispose them to forms of
disease, chronic and lingering in their nature. During the year
there have been three deaths in the house — one of convulsions, a
child, and two of consumption. One of the cases of consumption,
a female, was not properly an inmate of the house, but was
brought there only a day or two before her death. There has
been one birth in the house. One case of small pox, (a State
charge) and two of varioloid, have been the only cases of disease
of this character during the year. Neither of these patients were
inmates of the house.
The inmates have evinced a willingness to conform to such di-
rections as have been found necessary either to preserve health,
or, if sick, to assist in restoring them to their usual state of health.
The unremitting kindness and attention to the welfare and com-
fort of the inmates, both in health and sickness, of the Superin-
tendent and his wife, cannot be commended too highly.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph H. Streeter,
Physician to the Almshouse.

REPORT
CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT,
RoxBURY, February 2, 1857.
To the Honorable Mayor ^ Aldermen and Common Council :
The sixth section of Ordinance No. 34, regulating the Fire
Department, requires the Chief Engineer to transmit annually,
and oftener if required, to your Honorable Body, a correct state-
ment of the condition of the Fire Department.
In accordance with the provisions of the ordinance, I submit to
you my Annual Report, from February 1, 1856 to February 1,
1857, showing the number of Fires and Alarms in each month,
with the loss and insurance on the same, — names of the Board of
Engineers, — INIembers of the Department, with their ages and
residence, — pay of the same, — condition of Houses and Apparatus,
— list of Reservoirs and Hydrants, as also the Rules and Regula-
tions of the Department.
The Department have been called out the past year,
From actual fires within the city ... 33 times.

In consequence of the large number of alarms of fire out of
the city, the Board of Engineers, immediately on their organ-
ization, passed a vote that no bell on any engine house should be
rung for an alarm of fire out of the city, unless by order of an
engineer. Every precaution was used by the Board, as well as by
the City INIarshal and his officers, to enforce this order. One
person, a member of the Department, was discharged for violating
the above regulation. When the services of the Department are
required by any of our neighbors, they are always rendered, and
the members of the Department rally as promptly to render our
neighbors assistance as they do our city. The result of the en-
forcement of this rule respecting alarms of fire out of the city, is
highly satisfactory. Last year, from May 1 to January 31, the
Department was called out tJdrty times for fires and alarms out of
the city ; while this year, in the same time, they have been called
out but eight times, and at three of those alarms the Department
were sent for.
On assuming the duties of Chief Engineer in May last, I was
impressed with the belief that the ordinary expenses for the year
would be small — or at least would be kept within the limits of the
appropriation ; but the result has been otherwise. The several
Engine, Hose, and Hook and Ladder Carriages have been thor-
oughly repaired, and painted when found necessary. One bill of
repairs, amounting to some four hundred dollars, contracted pre-
vious to my entering upon the duties of this office, is charged, in
the expenses of the Department, the present year.
The details of repairs and expenses briefly have been as follows :
Engine No. 1, was sent to Waterford, New York, and new
brakes substituted for the old ones, (which render the engine
more portable and much lighter,) agreeably to the recommenda-
tion of a former Board of Engineers, and with the consent of the
Committee on the Fire Department ; at the same time all neces-
sary repairs were made to the engine. No repairs have been
made upon the house.
Engine No. 2, mahciously damaged by a person not connected
with the Department, has been thoroughly repaired and painted.
The house is in good order, and no repairs were required.
71
Engine No. 3, kept as a relief engine, has had new Suction
Hose, and is in good order.
Engine No. 6, has been thoroughly repaired and painted, and
is in good order. These repairs were ordered by my predecessor.
The house has been partly new silled, and new floors have been
laid in the lower story. This story has been painted. A new
Hose Tower ha;s been erected the past year ; and a new floor in
the Steward's room is required.
Engine No. 7 has been thoroughly repaired, and partially
painted. The interior of the house has been painted. A Hose
Tower has been added to the house.
Hydrant Carriage has been repaired and painted.
Hook and Ladder Carriage has also been repaired, as also the
ladders, axes, &c. belonging to the same. Some slight repairs
have been made to the house.
Two hundred feet of new Leading Hose have been purchased for
the use of the Department.
Two Reservoirs, built under the direction of a former City Gov-
ernment,— one on Smith Street, and one at the corner of Green-
ville and Winthrop Streets, — at an expense of some $1,600, were
found to be defective and of no service. They have since been
repaired and filled, at an expense of $300, and are noAV in good
order.
The Engines and Apparatus of the Department are now all in
good order ; and unless some unforeseen accident should occur,
the bills for repairs the coming year will, doubtless, be compara-
tively small. The houses of Engines ISTos. 1 and 7, Hook and
Ladder house, with the house of the Hydrant Co., require paint-
ing outside. The house of Engine No. 1, and Hook and Ladder
Co., will require new floors and other repairs the coming Spring.
The house occupied by the Hook and Ladder Co. is entirely
unfitted for the deposite of the carriage, it being too short, and in
every way inconvenient, and requiring double labor of the Stew-
ard to take the proper care of the same. I would most respect-
fully recommend that a one-story building be erected for the
proper accommodation of this important part of our apparatus.
The house occupied by Hydrant Co., No. 1, from its being sit-
uated over the water, is very damp and cold, and unfitted for the
purpose for which it is used.
Two Reservoirs were recommended to be built by the Board of
Engineers the past year, — one at or near Sudbury Street, and
one on the Point, in the vicinity of Curtis's planing mill ; but,
owing to the ground not being adapted for that purpose, in one
case, and the demands of owners and abutters in the other, neither
of them has been built.
72
Application was made to the Water Board of the City of Boa-
ton, by a committee of the Board of Aldermen, for permission to
insert one or more hydrants on Tremont Street, between Franklin
Place and Buggies Street; but the request was not granted.
They were willing, however, to lay a service pipe from Franklin
Place to Buggies Street — a distance of about six hundred feet —
sufficient for two hydrants, which Avould be of much more service
to the city than reservoirs. I would recommend your early atten-
tion to this source of obtaining water in that locality. One new
hydrant has been inserted (of great capacity) on Tremont Street,
at the corner of Texas Avenue, and is of much importance in that
vicinity.
The large number of wooden buildings erected, and being
erected yearly, in our city, increases the danger of fire. There
are some localities where a scarcity of water exists, and where,
if a fire should occui', the efforts of the Department would be of
httle avail. The importance of having a better supply of water,
either in reservoirs or from hydrants, cannot be over estimated.
Our present number of reservoirs and hydrants is, in my judg-
ment, inadequate to the wants of the city.
It is understood that the Jamaica Pond, situated within the
limits of West Boxbury, with the rights and franchise of the
Aqueduct Company, has been purchased by some of our citizens,
for the purpose of supplying the lower part of the city with pure
water. I would respectfully dire.ct your attention to the impor-
tance of locating a large number of hydrants along the line of the
pipes in the several streets through which they may be laid. The
proprietors of the Pond, I am informed, have expressed a willing-
ness to meet the- city in a liberal spirit, for furnishing an ample
supply of water for the extinguishment of fires. The expense of
inserting hydrants is trifling, compared with the cost of the con-
struction of reservoirs, and their superiority over them in affording
an ever-ready supply, is so clear to the minds of every one, that
it needs no demonstration. The proprietors kindly offered the use
of the pipes for the Department, until the Spring, free of charge ;
but as it is earnestly hoped that some permanent arrangement
will be made with them as soon as possible, I deemed it unneces-
sary to communicate their offer, or to recommend any action on
the subject.
The condition of the Department was never better Aan at the
present time. Harmony prevails among all its members, good
order, a prompt response to every call of the bell, and a cheerful
comphance Avith all the rules and regulations of the Department.
They very justly merit the approbation of the Government and of
the citizens.
73
I have now presented every thing to your consideration, that I
regard of importance to the welfare of the Department, as well as
such suggestions as, in my judgment, will tend to afford a greater
security from fire to our city. If, by the constant devotion of my
best endeavors to discharge my duties, I have merited your ap-
probation, I shall feel that the labor, time, and sacrifice of per-
sonal comfort it has caused me, have not been thrown aAvay.
You entrusted me with responsible duties, and my proudest boast
. will be, to know that I have not disappointed your expectations,
or suffered a trust, involving great responsibilities and of such
importance to the future welfare of our city, to have failed in my
hands. To the Committee on the Fire Department, who have
sustained me in the discharge of my duties and promptly acted
upon my communications, I would tender my thanks. To the
City Marshal and his assistants, who have always been prompt in
the discharge of their duties while acting as Fire Police, I would
also tender my thanks. To the Board of Engineers, who have
been with me on all occasions, I would express my obligations to
them, and am proud to be able in this public manner, to bear
testimony to the faithful and efiicient manner in which they have
performed their duties. During the term of office yet remaining
to me, no effort of mine shall be wanting to make the Department
worthy the confidence the public repose in it.
Respectfully submitted.

Two hundred and fifty-two persons have been provided with
lodgings during the year.
The Police Department the past year has consisted of myself
and eight Assistants, and two Night -Watchmen, Four of the
Assistant Marshals are on duty every night, as watchmen ; mak-
ing the whole force on duty at night, six men. The City is now
divided into two sections, — three men to each section. I would
suggest the propriety of having the City divided into four sections,
and an increase of two night watchmen to the present force,
thereby rendering more efficient service to the inhabitants. The
territory is so large, and the distance to be travelled by the
watchmen so great, that they cannot go over the ground as often
as the public safety seems to demand, with the present force.
At times, it is impossible for them to visit all parts of the city during
the night, in consequence of their being confined to certain locali-
ties requiring their constant attendance, thereby leaving large
and valuable portions of the City unprotected.
The present police have acted as Truant Officers. They have
been called many times by the teachers of our pubUc schools to
look after truants and absentees from school, which duty has been
strictly attended to, with good results.
Much service has been rendered by the police that does not
appear upon record, — such as abating nuisances, attending fires,
&c., which has taken much time and labor, the most of which has
been done without any extra expense to the City.
During the past summer there were appointed six persons, who
acted as special poUce on Sundays during the fruit season, for the
protection of orchards, gardens, &c., in the rural parts of the
11
82
City. From the small number of complaints from tlie inhabitants
of the Citj, and the great number of depredations in the adjoin-
ing towns, Ave have good reason to believe that the amount paid
for their services -was not misappUed.
The vigilance of the police has, in a measure, been able to
secure the observance of the law relative to the Lord's day, as far
as pertains to the keeping open of shops and places of resort for
idle and dissolute persons.
In regard to arrests, you will notice that a large proportion
were for the crime of drunkenness. As a preventive, I have
none within my reach. It is a well-known fact, that in almost
every shop, and many places used as dwellings, intoxicating li-
quors are kept for sale ; but they are managed in such a manner
that prosecutions cannot avail much in suppressing the traffic.
The class of persons frequenting such places are those whose tes-
timony in a Court of Justice would not be reliable.
There is another class of crimes to which I wish to call your
attention, viz., " Larcenies^ Many of the arrests made for the
crime of larceny, have been committed by boys from ten to six-
teen years of age; the 'most of which have been "petty lar-
cenies" of old junk, consisting of old iron, lead, brass and copper,
taken mostly from unoccupied buildings, and which is encouraged
by a certain class of persons, who go about the City collecting
every thing in the shape of junh ; and, I am sorry to say, not
in violation of any Ordinance of this City regulating the same.
The duties of the police, in trying to enforce the Ordinance
relative to the Sanitary Regulations of the City, are much in-
creased by the insufficient accommodations for drainage. Many
of the dwelling-houses located on the low grounds are not pro-
vided with drains or cesspools, thereby obliging the occupants to
throw upon the surface of the ground all the waste water which
should be carried away by drains, much of which finds its way
into the streets, lanes, &c., in direct violation of the Ordinance
pertaining thereto.
There are certain nuisances existing in the City, to which the
attention of the Board of Health has been frequently called, one
of which is now under judicial investigation, viz., the " Chemical
Works ;" another — " Ward's" — if not as injurious to health,
is equally as annoying to the inhabitants residing within the
vicinity, from the frequent emanation of putrid and foul air, which
arises from the decomposed animal substances deposited on and
about the premises.
In submitting this report, I wish to notice the efficient and
gentlemanly manner in which the members of the police have dis-
83
charged their duty during the past year, which I think has been
done in a manner highly creditable to themselves, and to the gen-
eral satisfaction of the public.
I would here tender my acknowledgments for the confidence
reposed in me, by placing me in the office I now hold, and the
repeated acts of kindness during the past year.
Respectfully submitted.

Referred to the Committee on Accounts, with instructions to cause such
parts to be printed as they deem expedient with the Annual Report of

REPORT
OF THE
COMMISSIOl^EES
OP
FOREST HILLS CEMETERY.
In conformity to the fifth section of " An Act relative to a Public
Cemetery in the City of Roxbury," the Commissioners respect-
fully submit their
:ninth annual eeport.
This annual record which it devolves upon the Commissioners
to make in relation to Forest Hills, though in its detail of facts
not very unlike those which have preceded it, is still a record of
progress in the important work committed to their supervision.
With no abatement of interest or energy, the work of beautify-
ing and fitting the grounds for the sacred purpose to which they
are consecrated, has been steadily prosecuted in all its depart
ments through another year. And in the progress of this work,
nothing is made more evident, aside from the exceeding natural
beauty of the locality and its peculiar fitness for the high and
sacred ends to which it is appropriated, than the existing and
growing necessity for such a provision to meet the public senti-
ment as well as the wants of the community.
Labor. About thirty-five men have been employed in the
various departments of labor upon the grounds for nine months of
the year, and a less number the remaining three.
Lots Prepared. During the year one hundred lots have been
graded and sodded, the outline defined by stone posts and the
borders set with trees and shrubs.
Tombs. Three family tombs have been constructed.
Avenues and Paths. The loam has been removed from about
1600 feet of Avenues, and from about 850 feet of Paths, which
85
have been relaid with stone and gravel in the same manner as
heretofore.
Lake Hibiscus. To prevent the possibihty of accident, a
fence has been constructed on the southerly side of Lake Hibis-
cus, consisting of stone posts connected by straight iron bars.
The grounds also in the same vicinity, on the borders of the Lake,
have been graded and sodded, and planted with trees.
Monuments, &c. Besides monumental scrolls and slabs of
various forms, many of them exceedingly neat and tasteful, there
have been erected by the proprietors of lots, thirty monuments,
costing from $150 to $1200 each.
Fences. Fifty lots have been enclosed by iron fences.
Interments. The number of interments during the year in
private lots and in the Field of Machpelah has been 475.
Lots Sold. One hundred and one lots averaging 291f feet
each have been sold during the year. And in the Field of Mach-
pelah 142 graves, — all that remained unsold at the commence-
ment of the year, — have been disposed of.
"Field of Ephron." It having become apparent that the
unsold graves in the Field of Machpelah would not probably more
than supply the demand for the year, the Commissioners, early in
the season, designated a lot in the northerly part of the Cemetery
to be prepared for the same purpose. Entering the Cemetery by
the Egyptian Gateway, this lot is on the right. It is to be trenched
and graded for separate graves to accommodate such persons as
may not wish to purchase a whole lot. To this place the Commis-
sioners have given the name " Field of Ephron." See Gen. 23 : 17.
Here the grounds have already been prepared for 200 graves,
which are now ready for sale. The border on the northerly side
has been graded, leaving the young growth of trees with which it
was studded, and when the whole shall have been graded and the
borders adorned with trees and shrubs according to the present
design, it will become a beautiful and attractive portion of the
Cemetery. In this " Field of Ephron" there will be space for
not less than 1200 graves.
Lots Finished. There are thirty-one lots now graded and
finished with stone posts and sodding, which are ready for sale.
Fifty-one other lots are trenched and nearly completed, which
will be finished early in the spring to meet the demand for the
coming year.
The Commissioners have paid, during the year, $3000 of the
principal of the notes given by the City for the purchase of land
for the Cemetery, which added to the sum of 12,894 67, before
paid, amounts to $15,894 67. The present debt for Cemetery
grounds is $21,000.

This statement shows that though our enterprise is compara-
tively in its infancy, a large amount of labor has already been
bestowed upon Forest Hills. But it is not labor unappreciated.
The public sentiment of the community approves the outlay, and
the heart honors the results of it, as an offering fit and sacred to
its deepest affection. It matters little comparatively to the de-
parted, what disposition Ave may make of the dust they have left be-
hind them, whether in the- repulsive vault or amidst living fragrant
flowers we lay it down to rest. It is not for the dead with any
hope of benefitting or making more peaceful their last sleep, that
we throw around the sepulchre the beauty and the fragrance of
Forest Hills ; but for the living, — as the offering of a cherished
and undying affection, -which would linger still at the sepulchre,
as the two Marys by that new tomb in Joseph's garden, with liv-
ing memories of the departed rendered pleasant and not repulsive
by surrounding emblems of a resurrection and a life to come.
And Forest Hills is become an impressive preacher of great and
salutary truths. Nine years have gathered to its quiet bosom the
loved and the honored from many of our households. The aged and
the young alike sleep in its shady retreats. And the past is the mir-
ror to the future. We prepare a place for the loved and the hon-
ored whose presence is yet the light and the joy of our homes ; —
a place, however, whose surroundings shall all teach us that the
grave is not our home, and shall point significantly to that land
where is the " tree of life," and where " there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain; for the former things are passed away."

are authorized to take and hold any grant, donation or bequest of prop-
erty, upon trust, to apply the same, or the income thereof, for the im-
provement or embellishment of the said cemetery, or for the erection,

or for the planting and cultivation of trees, shrubs or plants, in or around
any lot, or for improving the said premises in any other manner or form,
consistent with the purposes for which said cemetery is established, ac-
cording to the terms of such grant, donation or bequest. And whenever
any such grant, donation or bequest, or any deposit shall be made by
the proprietor of any lot in said cemetery, for the annual repair, preser-
vation or embellishment of such lot and the erections thereon, the said
commissioners may give to such proprietor, or his representative, an

tions as they may establish, binding themselves and their successors to

(unless other j)rovision is made by the terms of any such grant, dona-
tion or bequest) , shall be made under the charge of said city treasurer,
but shall always remain separate from and independent of any other
moneys or property belonging to the city of Roxbury, and free from the
control of the city council. And the income of such fund, or funds,

sioners, and shall be appropriated by them in such manner as shall in

Sect. 4. This act shall be void, unless the city council of Roxbury
shall accept the same, at a meeting of said council called for that pur-
pose, within thirty days after its passage.
Sect. 5. This act shall take effect from and after its passage. [^Passed
Feb. 25, 1852.] [Accepted by the City Council, March 8, 1852.]
