The endeavor has been made, to so manage affairs, that the (amounts of money allotted for the maintenance of the several departments should not be exceeded ; and the effort has been approximintely successful. It has been stated in reports of past years, that increase of population must increase the yearly expenses of the town ; while this is not a new thought, it is a statement of fact, and %will have to be considered in making the appropriations For the conduct of affairs yearly, Petitioners, the last year, for fire alftTm boxes, hydrants, street lights and police service have manifestly been annoyed because their requests were not satisfactorily answered. The propriety of these requests wiis acknowledged ; but appTopriations to sheet the expense to be incurred had not been made, mid officials had no resources to meet the necessary expenditures. 5'I`REE"T LIGHTS. There has been no addition to the number of street lights. TOWIq }BALL. The appropriation for town hall has not been sufficient to Lneet cast of repairs and care. The hell has been rented to all societies and parties whose membership is made tip of citizens of Water- to-wn, at a inoininal Brice, and not leasecl for trai-elling shows and characterless entertainments ; conset:luendy there is a deCicit in the moneyed account of the town hall. WATER SUPPLY. We are not aware of any change in the xt-1a►tier of s.Vater sU PPly, a�ncl it would appear that Watertown is .ts well supplied with good wtatur as any of the neighboring cities and towns, By vote of the town at the last annanl tneeting, the Selectmen V61ere instructed to report on the. (natter of sewerage for the east- erly section of the town. Th_ `iuperintend+ent of Streets as en- i;it1ter for the town, in cDnsultattloa with the Selectmen, has pre- pared a report, to be round on page io. FIRE DEPARTMENT. This department and its service, is of credit to the town ; of course, there is constant depreciation in the value of its aPparatus and belongings. Early last Spring, there was an examination by din expert of the condition of Steamer No. i, and the examination showed a safer, stronger engine than could li;w , been expected after twenty-three years of use. The repairs advised were made at a, small cost; and the engine has proved satisfactory to those in charge. Seep Fire Engineer's report. SUITS AGAINST T11E 'POSE'\. There are six suits entered In the Courts against the town by people: �, hn claim to have injtired themselves by falling on icy places on sidewalks of the town } and it has been, and is now, the opinion of the Selectmen, that the town should be defended against these snits, and counsel have them in charge for the town. TOWN LANDINGS. For the last three gears, from varicus people who have been interested, and who have diligently pursued the lines of Water- town's history, have conk repeated presentation of the question of the town's ownrship of property known as the Town Land- ings." The claim was made, that the town had holdings of land on the banks of the f.liarles river, that it had never conveyed to parties now occupying portions of 5aic9 property; and the ques- tion of town and individual rights was submitted to J. J. Sulli- van, Esq., wllo foi• two years his been engaged in investigating these claims or riglits of the town ; and his exhaustive research (if-the history- of they town's ri-hts in this matter, has been printed. in the Town Deport of this year. 4 Fh � 00 6-1 Imo} F 44 tP-1 cuIn _ w '« 4 ry . tr, C14 10 GnIn 4-j ul 4F.LI:[J; `N1FN'S REPORT. :} DEVELOPSIENT OF THE TOWN. There is, ifexpressed sentiments are indicative of thought given to a subject, almost :an estahtised opinion, that Waterto%vn as a town, is lag�, and in taking advantage Of its opport inities� tar growth, as a suburb of a large and attractive city. The subject of the town's OppcartLinities for growth and strength has been, ;and is discussed in public, —in private aassepzJblages; yet, ghat ai-c: named .as the desirable moves to make these oppor- tunities available, require expcnditures of inaney that the present financial methods of the town could only provide by adding to the yearly tax levy an amount that would be unsatisfactory to every one 110W Paying taxes, and act as at deterrent to others wish- mg to invest in taxable property in Watertown. It would appear to be evident to all citizens, that if action is to be taken in a not remote period For the construction and extension of sewers, widening streets, preparing for and constructing ptib- l_ic buildings, that the credit of the town will have to be used niore extensively than heretofore, in order to nuike the.qu i nprove- ments possible ; otherwise the town must I'UE118e eta ilacur the responsibilities that its neighbors welcome, as means of reducing their tax levy, by adding to their strength in population and v11- ues. And it is submitted, huwever severely the suggestion of:any change in the financial policy of the town naaay be criticised, that the town has the power, because of its high standing financially, to make any move it desires iaa the direction of innproaenaents, by applying to the Legislatuire for an act allowing the issue: of lung time bonds of $2cK),000 or $ 50,000 (twcnty- ar thirty years), designated by some name showing the purposo of its issue ; also providing for the establishment of a sinking fund. AtId aataless the experience of Watertown is to be different from its ncaighbor- ing rainrlicipalities, it can easily provide for the patyment of its delat at or before its nmturity. ABRAHAM L. RIC[L--�RDS, Selectmen GEORGE H. LE PER, of ENGINEER'S RE,PORT. PreIrr.+xi.,Ia y J?efiort an a Syslane of S uers for the East �cst�•�'ct At the annual town rneetlncr, March, :t 94, the ,Selectmen were authorized to make a rejiK)rt oil the feasibility cif a sewerage s-ys- tem Ibr the East District, -liacf acLhag Nvith them, the subject has been quiitc fully investigated. At the beginning we are confronted with then question, where shall tlw� seweraffe from this district etllpty, into Llir. NTetropolit,lii server on the south side of the Ch LrIeS, necessitativr .i siphon under the rivcr, or into the Cambridge brick server, which crosses the F itchbUrg railroad tocation about Goo Meet north of Mt. ALIbUrn st ttioil? The hia d of the Fitchburg railroar from East Waticyto-vi L1 station to Mt. Auburn is lokv, wikh cir—wationson either side Sloping tQW11rd it, NVIlicll ailake: it the 1141tu1:a1 course t`oi° surface r,vater or drnina;e to neck, and flowing aloug its lied find an oultIct at some distant point. Unquestionably the best ant) most economical route is, if pos- sible, to fallow t11e railroad, and with this in view, one of the town officials and irayself• have had a tally ► ith President \iarcy .and lnid before him our Dian, asking the couasint of the railroad company to lay the main trunk line along their location, at a su#- flcieut distance from thu tracks, from Arlington street to the Cambridge sewer. Theif answer has nit been received lip to the time of this -writing. Also it conference has been had with Nf aynr Bancroft, re:pre- sexltislg t11e cite, of Cambridge, who gave every indication in the convcrs atioln cir l.aeing willing; to facilitate Watertown's applica- tiioi7. Could this route be adDpted, the town would save a siphon across the Charles rivcr Faild .a trunk line to the ZVSetropolitan 1 1 O UNEE 118 REPORT. 11 suer, z,000 Feet of sewer on North Beacon street, from Prospect street to the bridge, and 3,000 feet on the Arsenal grounds. An additional length of trunk line would have to be built along the railroad from Cottage street to the Cambridge server. The estimated cost of this route would be about i7o,000, and would include nine miles of sewer. In -%faay, 1892, Mr. E. W. Bowditch made a report on a sy*s- tens which contemplated crossing the Charles river, and esti- maate(l tjjC Cost �t Lj)Qjat $1I1,000. This system embraces ra trunk line through Arlington street and minor ones through Arsenal and NOTth Bencon streets, all running through the Arsenal grounds and meeting at as point oai the:north blank of the Charles richer, thence by as siphon and trunk litre connection is made with tha; Metropolitan sewer on North Beacon street. This would include the building of nine and one bial£ miles of sewer, :and necc.%sitaate obtaining permission .from tlae United States Government by a special act of Congress to crass the Arsenal grounds. It is submitted that the Fitchburg railroad roaite offers the best possible solution of this problem for sewerage, both on .-account of ai saviiag in length and depth of cutting, in larding an outlet For the system without crossing the Charles river, and in a saving of a large sum of money.

The rates for these loans were extremely lww, nrid as the town has received interest on its deposit, it has only cast the town about one per cent. to carry a lame part of these loans. Town motes amouratialg to $4o,coo borrowed last year and w a- turlllg this year li ave been paid. In addition to this, Four long- time motes amounting to$ao,000 have matured and have been paid. New long-time notes amounting to $.x[S,000 have been sold dur- hig the year. Of this amount, $5,carte was for the widening of I-Iraatertown street, and $40,000 was tar construction of the; New Schoolhouse.

It gives abode in suanmer. If an evergreen, it gives protection against the winds of winter. While its beneficence is multiplied if fa fruit tree, still of what value is the frllitless c11-111 SOMetillleg it gives rnost satisfaction to the eye, when barren even of leaves. I was looking not: long since at a rDw of big elms, when the light of the new clay wvtis ahaict breaking past the purple cloudsand across the crystal-white snow. Those great towering trunks were like the heavy pillars of cloistered aisles, while overhead, their branches curved into the groins of a cathedral. roof. Then again, as I recall them, I think of them as the masts and rigging of huge ships waiting for the breath of the spring winds to sweep through them and let loose the ,great green sails hidden In their branches. What street in Watertown waits to be thus Glowered with the magnificence. of great, stately elins along its entire length? A tree also may become a sign. It will express human thought and care. Somebody may have planted it. Then it: may express .after-care or after-neglect. Just then as signs, trees may have a mission. The :absence of trees, or the neglect of their cultivation when planted, will testify to the carelessness of a town. Trees planted and trees nurtured, represent the enterprise and taste of a community. The Town Improvement Association has ccintinued to act as the agent of the town hi beautifying our streets with maples, elms or whatever mi-lit be selected for shade and adornment, the town meeting a Portion of the expesrse.

He says it is to be regretted that some trees are left to themselves after their planting,, when they ought to be watchcd and their growth helloed.

Publication of Town Records by the Watertown Historical Society. The town that makes good history clues a praiseworthy tiling for those of that generation and a helpful one to the generations that follow. It is praiseworthy also when the town says, ,c We will carefully cherish the record of out- deeds. Fire shall not crumble our treasures. Negligence shall not scatter there. We will preserve them in durable vaults or safes." Still better is it when the town says, " We will print the records that embody our history. We will multiply the number of records. There shall not be one in a safe, but hundreds in scattered volumes. Every family shall be the custodian of the town records. The town of to-clay will also have the beneCit of the life of the town of yesterday. The past will them bring its influence to near upon the preset-it. Good history will repeat itself'." Watertown has acted very commendably in this matter. In- structed by the Watertown Historical Society, its president in town meeting, March 27, 1891, moved, that the town :appropriate $1 r000 to publish the early records of the town, and that the 11istorical Society have charge of the publication. The town male a cordial response. The motion was carried and the appro- priation made. ]wring the past year, a well-printed volume has appeared as the result of that appropriation.

The widespread interest and popular dernanri at the prevent time for gooci roads, have made it imperative for cities and towns to exercise snore care and spend more money in attaining this object than formerly, and the public, knowing that goad roads are expensive, yet are cheaper to keep in order than pour roads, der not begrudge a liberal expenditure for this purpose, provided it is carefully and wisely expended. It becomes necessary for those having charge of highways to be acquainted Nvith the best and inost economical manner of con- structing and maintaining roacis. Our increase iu number and length of streets demand modern rc),ad machines and labor-saving devices ; withOLA titan many streets will ]sick proper care and attention. Situated as this town is, in the midst of a large and populous community, with its main streets county thoroug hfFires, over which the travel—both far lousiness and pleasure—is constantly increasing, it is evident that these roads at least should be kept in excellent condition ; and owing to their number aml length they cannot be kept so without modern appliances to work with. TOWORT (.11' 'l-VP :ft1NT9 N1)ENT OF STRBETS. WATI;: IN U OF STREETS. The watering of streets has been clone the past season, part by contract and part by the fire department, with money collected from abutters on certain streets and from the highway appropria- tion. Parts of our main streets only have been watered, and while it has hellwd to beep there in good condition, it has brought out tine fact very strongly that they shoe:ld be watered their entire length. CLEANIaNG of STREETS. During the past summer the dirt and refuse have been removed weekly froTn Darts of Mount Auburn, Main, Galan, Church and Spring streets, and whenever needed from the adjolniag side streets. The cast of this work his averaged from $20 to $22 per week and b,Goo linear feet of street have been swept can .an average. In no line of highway wort: can money be expendetl and bring greater returns to the abutters, the passers, and citizens in general. It helps to preserve the streets, makes travel easier, removes pos- sible; causes of sickness, and, above all, marks with unmistak- able clearness the thrift .and prosperity of a city or town. Five public waste barrels have been placed at important points in the center of the town for the receiving of paper and rubbish, which would otherwise be thrown into the street. These barrels are emptied weckly. As is step further in the same direction I recommend the purchase of two small hand-carts, to be kept in use throughout the suinirier months on all the streets of the town, collecting rubbish, which from Dne cause or another finds its way into the road. . source of constant <annovance and trouble is the custom of allowing advertising, in the shape of handbills, scattered indis- criminate]y throvghasat tlae tOWii. The new i-oaad inacbine, purchased a year ago, has been used on many of the streets clairisag the: past season. It has proves] of great assistance and economy in bringing into proper shape roads that are badly worn and ratted and in the cleaning out of gutters for the quick and unimpeded flow of water. For the pre scrvation 82 RKPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STRrt ETS. of roans it is necessary that they should be so rihaaped that Nvater will at once drain off their surface into they glAters '-told thence into catch hasins or culverts. Roads slaaaped with this ol)ject it, view escape to a large extent thu action of frost and freezing during the fall, winter, ;and spring. REPAIRS OF STREETS. MOUNT AtIRURN STREET. Tearing the last year this street has heen gone over the entire length and all ruts and hollows filled Nvith cracked stone and tlae gutters prat in good slaape- ARSEN,AL STREET. Beginning at the: bridge over the Charles river and rtinning in a westerly direction 350 feet, this street hits been widened sixteen feet and a retaaia incr wall font• feet high built, topped Nv th a granite capping. All the stone and granite Nvere taken from the stock nn lj;attifi. `fNvo hundred double loatis of gravel were used for #illing aaecessitated by the street widening. A layer of cracked stone six inches thick- has been placed on this road from the bridge to Arlington street, and on the southerly wile as gravel sidewalk has. been made for the same distance. Also the side- walk: on the south side, from North Beacon to Patten street, has been rebuilt and raised fur inches. 11 AIX STREET. `I`his street is in a fair condition to Lexington street; from there to tlae Walthaarn line: the road is bard and needs repairing at the opening of nest season. PLEASANT STARET. From Galen to Bridge street, Bemis, this thoroughfare Nvas in poor condition, and those places which seemed to inconvenience public travel the inost were repaired as soon as possible. Begin- ning at Galen street and going to Church hino a new roaciway has been constructed ; the surface of the old road was picked,and a layer of six inches of ca-aciced stone covered with gravel was put on. REPOT OF SUPERMTENDEKT OF STREEMS. 83 From Waltham street to the freight yard of the Fitchburg rail- road eight niches of gravel was placed on the street. From the freight yard to the A tnaa Mills cracked stone was used. Fite ru- maainder of this street to the town lime should be repaired at the beginning of next season. WATERTOWN STREET. From WLrious causes the stork on this street has been delayed until the close of the season finds it uncompleted. Although the Newton Street Railway Company was ordered in the late suni- rner by the selectmen to remove their tracks from their then pres- ent location to the south side of the street, it was not clone until. December, Ind until they were moved it was impossible to famish the street.. The street has been widened to sixty feet, as ordered, awew side- walks six feet wvidc and planting spaces two feet wide. h.,ivc been built. With the exception of about 150 feet in length -it Morse street it has been entirely sub-graded and is ready for the cracked stnue. The excavation on the south side of the street was used in filiitig Cook's pond, in bringing the old roadbed up to as fixed grade, and in constructing sidewa Iks. At the pond the street was widened about 12 feet. The culvert which takes the overflow has been lengthetiedl 1z feet and capped with granite. New wing, or reta3imn.,,- walls, and dacha have been built entirely on the abdrters' land, thus relieving; the town froni its care. Beginning at Galena street the road has been finished for a dis- tance of Soo feet. The following table will show the work that has been done the past season can the difl'vrca street,, of the town, where such work Baer, ataaaounted to $ro or more. 011 ten streets less than is has been spent on each.

SUn ACE WATER DRAINAGE, On all gravel roads where the gr.acle is fairly steep, in order to preserve tlae shape of the street, it is necessary to have gutters either of cobbles or of concrete. During July and August, when heavy showers are alit to Occtar, large quantities of water are suddenly collected along the sides of the road, which on steep grades becomes destrtacti-re, gaallies arc iTincle and the streets become unsightly :and clang for travel. During the p-ast season, on streets subjected to this gullying action of water, I450 feet of three-feet gutl:ca-s have been laid, at a cost of$o.6o per square yard. Oil ma111y of our streets, notably Arsenal and Mount Auburn streets, rain water collects and stands for clays. {latch basins to take this water should not be built, owing to there being no underdrahinge to relieve them when full. To remecly= this trouble drains sl-muld be laid, at a proper grade, with an catatlet in some culvert. CaaLch basins could then be built and connected Nvith this drain. A separate appropriation of $acaoo could be expended to good advantage in building acIditi+onaal glitters atad drains. BRIDGES AND CULVERTS. With the exception of the North Beacon street bridge all are in fair condition. This spring it will be necessary to thoroughly repair this bridge to maalce it safe for public travel. It will also be necessary to bcaild .3500 feet of sexy fencing along the approaches to the different bridges. I recommend tIaat n separate appropriation of $I000 be made for bridges and culverts. t t S'170%4E CRUSHER. An imanediaate change should be made in our stone crushing pliant. Besides the increased cast of inaaiiatuining and running it, in its present arrangement, we are miaable to obtain the quality of stone desired for good road A nioderna plant should be constructed, with elevator, screen and bins, with automatic 'REPORT or SVVERINTViNDIaNT OV STREETS. arrangements for loading the stone when crushed. To obtain this it wyoul€i lie wise to reinove the cruslier to the gr.rvel pit at the easterly part of the poor farni, the c^ngine being placed in the pit and the rrusher and bins on a 1eve1 with the top of the bank. The estiniated cost of this improvement is $goo. I recommend that the suBn of $r j,000 be appropriated for the highway departn-mit. I wish to thank the lHonorable Board of Selectmen and Mr. William T. Fierce for their help and assist- ance. SEWER AND HOUSE CONNECTIONS DEPARTME'NI`E'. The rules and regulations governing this depai•tawnt have been the same as in previous years alld have gn•c:Ia gClWrld satisfaction. Wort: was begun in -Karch and carried on Into January, connect- ing during this time roi houses w,,ith the public sewers. This is less than half the number that were connected in the previous year. The total nunsber of houses connected with the sewer is 583, and there remain 324 houses still unconnected. The nuan- ber of feet of pipe laic] the past season is 6o66 ; 849 being on the owners' prenuses and 221' irl the street. The number of stoppages reported since July, and corning under this department, are ,,?. Three were caused by grease in the trap, three by defective work, and sixteen by i nprcaper -usage. The tools in this departmcnt, with the exception of a few shovels and picks, which have been transferred to the Highway Departinent, are the sanne as in the previous year. Tools and machinery, �6' o co Materials, 954 I0 $i,6a4. io SEWER MAINTENANCE. .As no separate alipropriation was made for this departmer)t, the money for keeping the sewers in proper condition was taken from the House Connection Department. The entire sewer system bas ljekc n thoroughly flushed twice, and part of it a third tinge, with water furnished as usual by the Watertown Water REPORT OF SU-PERINTE' iDENT OF STR1M-DS. 87 :supply CoTripany, The syphon under tl-ie Charles river has been7inspected and fluslied as Oftesi as necdcd with river water.

REPORT Or THE BOARD OF IlEALTH, The f;eneral health csf the town for the bast year, considering the +epidemic of diphtheria and scarlet lever %,Mich has raged aalaout us, laas been remarkably good. The causes of the cleaths which Have occurred arc: shown in the: tables -appended to this report. As %will be seep, zymtic diseases clrainxed thirteen, as against fourteen in the previous year, while 113 is the number from gen- eral diseases, which. last Yealr was 135. At the coming in of this board to office*, the opinion of the tax- payers of the town seemed to be that it would be wise to test the validity of the law, Which seemed to say that the salary of the inspector of plumbing, when once fixed, was flxe€1 for all time. Accordingly, the salary of the inspector Nvas reduced to what seemed to be a€ reason.-able figetre, which he declined to azccept:,. and thereupon, the issue having bear }oohed, the: matter was tried hi court, and the board eneaagecl Messrs. J. B. Goodrich ;and J. 1-1. Valley to represent them tat the hearing. The matter was decided faavor;ably for thu town, and in consequence thereof the board was able to make a reasonable adjustment of the entire matter with Alr. Conne<aly, and they are now paying hirn at the rate of$i,c)oo (one thouaaand dollars) ar yenr, he Having consented to accept 75 per month during the five nzontlas his labors had been lessened by (lie board. The matter how seems to be in very good shape, and Mr. Connenly is cluing very good work. The work of connecting the dif Brent houses with the public sewer has been continlaed, and the statement in table herewith arranged shows the entire nu of applications made, inspected and approved Since the commencement of Oct inspection system on August zq, I892 : -AppUeadons for Sewer Connections. ej c Ansan al..... ........... 5 17 1 ...... ...... is 37 .... 2 Rnecin Hill............... 1 13411uy R,utul............ 2 2 ... g ... ...

The brook from this swamp, at the east end of the town, has long been a source of annoyance to the residents of that locality, on account of the foul odOTS ,arising From it, ;and which, at cer- tain periods had hecome positively intolerable. Mooring the past summer several citizens unitctl in as communication to this Board requesting that saane action be taken toward abating the nuisance. Shortly alter the avcclpt of this paper, the Board visited the locality :and found that the course of the stream was completely choked up with broken branches, twigs, and other debris, hold- ing in chuck a large .accumulation of decaying vegetable and surface washings, which had flowed down From the uplands north of the railroad. It was also found that .a certain imount of refuse a3iatter was floating along the ditch on the south side of the railroad track, :and that consider.d)le drib and waste euiptiea_i into this ditch from the Union Carpet-lining l actury, all or which sluggishly found its way* to the choked-up brook, and uniting with the other deposits, formed IM .ad.11ixtta1'e from which was evolved the focal odors that proved so olUentiive. After this visit, the Board endeavored to locate and communi- cate with the owners of the lane] throta gh which the araaajor portion of the brook flows, that they might lea; Induced to clear away the rubbish and accumulations, but 6-61111g in this, it resolved upon doing the work itself. Accoi- tingly, �4Ir. Jas. R. Harrison pro- cured a few men and succeeded in thornn-hly- cleaning up the stream from the railroad clear throu rh to Saatwin's pond, at can expense of less than twenty-five dollars. While this work W.as being dons:, the agent of the Board suc- ceeded in inducing the Union Carpet-lining; company to build a commodious cesspool within their enclosure, and change their drip and waste pipes thereto, thus diverting the stream -which had floated the objectionable matter or refuse along the ditch referred to, and materially assisting in preventinga recurrence of the trou- ble which lafad occurred. The Board feel under obligations to the Management of the Union Carpet-lining company for the prompt manner in which Ah y performed their share of the work. ]HOUSE oF'1+AL.

REPORT Off' THE BOARD OF i3L ALTli. The Board, through its Inspector and Agent, his -luring the year ordered chanv;es to he made in the plumbing work being clone in four buildings, in violation of the laws. "These orders having been complied with, further action was deemed unneces- sary. Inspections of new pIntri ling work, in houses sittiatted outside the sewer district, numbering twenty-six; mold in houses within the district, for :alterations and -Ldditional work, numbering twenty--cue were made during the year. Defective sink traps were found in five houses outside of the sewer district, %vilere sickness prevailed. The owners were noti- fied to replace thew with proper ones, an(] have complied. Defective warp -and clrahlagC discovered and made good in twenty-three cases. Foul Vaults and cesspools, nuanberin; seventeen, were coax_ ploined of and cleaned out. Fifteen unclean yards, seven cellars and four mailtire, heaps, were properly disposec4 of', and three dead <aniniaals i'oalnd on the highways were buried in secluded places, 1.Iotases were placarded on aceoaltlt Of Ci hteen cases of measles, twenty-nine of scarlet fever and twelve of diplitheriat. Thirty- seven�houses were furni;ated and disinfected. Seventeen of the scarlet fever, and six of the diphtheria cases were located 1n the central part of tile: town i two of the latter proving fatal. At the west part of the town (Be11iis), two cases of scarlet fever and four of diphtheria were developed. The lat- ter four cases were fatal, and occurred ciurialg the first three 111oarths of the year. At the east end, there were two cases of diphtheria and ten of scarlet fever. Two of the latter developed in oaic farnilV, resulting ffltaally, aarrcl two Otllc:k's in one family are now convalGscrnn. All the other cases mentioned are recovered. Considering the prevalence of scarlet fever and diphtheria in the neighb aring cities and towns during the hatter part of the year just past, o"r town was fortuti ately{ exempt fron-i the epidemic which seemed to spread atll airouild us. The slight increase of those diseases, which at one time seemed to develop, wags regarded with intense anxiety by the Boars! and its Agent, alnrl every pre caution was taken to guard against the visitation so aminously threatened. Happily the clanger was averted, and that we escaped IMPORT of THE Isrw.ti r:la ()r. HEALTH. 9.5 so fortunately was clue in a large measure to the preeaautions taken by the Board in rigidly* enforcing the rules and regulatiotas arinpted ley our predecessors in the matter of restrictilag the at- tendance of pupils to the schools, while any memberof the house- hold to which such pupil belongs, is sielk- with any of the infect,- ious diseases saline, assad maintaining such restrictions after the death. or recovery of the patietrt, till the stated time has expired, .and then only when the ]Barad is advised by the attending physician that it is safe to allow such pupil to return to selaooi. 11t the enforcement of these regulations 1-)y the Board, many hon- est and well-meaning parents have colliplaained, but the Board h{aving learned of many similar +c.tses in nei lslaoring towns, is being the cause of the spread of tlae infiectious diseases through the medium of attendance at the schools, of childrLn who lied been removed fron3 hoarse where a side brother or sister lay ill,to some ne-ir relative's or neighbor's house, determined upon the line: of action pursued, and instructed its Agent to strie ly enforce the a'arles adopted in all such cases. The Board desires 'In this public way to thank the School Com- mittec, the Superintendents said the teachers of the Public and Parochial schools, for their- earnest co8peration and assistance in guarding against the danger of infection atnong tha children placed under their charge during the year. APPROPRIATIONS NEEDED FOR THE CO-MING YFAR. The detail expenditures for the past year, totrel.lse;r wit1, the collections frorn millt and other licenses, and the of house ofratl are to be found in full in the report of tine Auditor. As is plainly scen, the Board was unable to beep within the appropriation. The contract for removing ashes and garbage, and the salary of the Inspector of Plumbing, mare than consuaned the appropriation without spending another cent. It would seem wise, therefore, to ask for an. ippropriation of not. less than $3,000, because it is absolutely impossible to ,get along Nvith the present amount. ALBERT B. MALL, Cl Boa,tc� JAMES R.

REPURT ON TOWN LANDS ALONG CHARLES RIVER. WAT ERTOW , Maareh i¢, 1 S94- To the Selectmen of 1 j"alerlown: GIENTI-F-1ar'_u,—Some six or seven months .ago, I was requested by the Board of Selectmen to investigate the title of the town to lands ;along ChaarIes river. I have now finished this task, and herewith submit my report. ONving to the peculiar purposes for which these lands in the past had been used (as common landings and in connection with the fisher}r), the investigation—to be of any value, and the con- clusions as to what was the interest of the town in them, to leave a substantial bask—necessitated a long :tract laal_aoriOUs examina- tion of records (tlie town records ; the records of the Colony of Masmchusetts Bay in New England, at the State House ; the records at the registry of Deeds of Suffolk, as well as Middlesex county ; the records of the Probate Court, Cou i t of Sessions, Court of Common fleas and of the Supreme Court) ; it necessi- tated ;tlso the making of vDluminous notes and extracts, and the examination of law bearing upon the questions which were involved. At dill'erent times for the last ],unfired and Filly years, corm-nit- tees have been nppotloled to investigate and report to the town ats to ti h:lt title it hAd in these pic;ces of land bounding, on the river ; beat if the matter ever was thoroughIy sifted, there is no record on file slanwhig this ; and when after a lapse of time, the town had occasion to again consider what its title to these lands was, the nt:atter had to be tILL-C11 ull the satrae as if nothing previ- ously had been done. With this in mind, I have {attached to my report copies of records and htcts relating to the work I was 4 REPORT ON TOWN LANDS engaged to do, and upon which my conchIS10118 of htW in the premises are based. I think the annexed copies of record tran- scripts are well nigh an exhaustive collectiotj of all the facts relating or pertaining to the question of title to the hands, and hereafter they wvill be accessible at all times for reference. I fancy, too, that on collateral matters that may arise from time to time, the facts collated in this report may prove useful.* LAND BETWEEN THE R1VER AND CALIFORNIA S'i Rr,,H,r. First. As to [lie laps] on the south side of the river, on the `north side of California street, west of the bridge. Ira 1845, at fence, erected by Elizabeth Cook on the northerly side of California street, along the southerly line of this land, wtieats. removed by one Baker, by orders from the selectmen. There- upon, Miss Cook brought snit in the Court of Common Pleas for trespass against baker. Judge Hoar was counsel fear Miss Cook, and E. Buttrick and Charles Bemis for Baker. Upon as trial, tale jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff' for $r2.53. The trial mast have involved the testii3ivny of a good maiiy witnSSL's, as the pl:aintiPs court costs were betWees7 $100 Und $ oo (%' llich included no part of what she paid as counsel fees). The case went to the $uprtmic Court upon exceptions taken by the defend- ant. These exceptions were sustained, and the ease was sent back to the Court of'Coi.ni21011 fleas for a new trial, which never took place, as by agr"ccrnealt of the parties, in 1848, I think, it was Ell smissed. Unfortunately, the case did not come up before the Supreme Court in such a way as to secure from it a decision as to fine title and c)wnership in fee of the lane), and its this respect the matter is deft the same as if the; stlit in question had never been begun. But the litic action, as we look back uptni it to-day , is of interest 'and value oll account of the inferences we are Juslifled to drawing 'from its final disposition, and on aaccaunt of its revealing the #The on,ales of rccc;M5 ana facts rt:ferrc4 to in this report arc on fiIt with the teem clerk,and may be examined it Uny Link. ALOITG CHARLES 'RTVBit, t1 claims nand counter cliims of parties and the testimony of wit- nesses in respect to this land made and given nezirly half a century, ago. The pl aintif3'clainied the land belonged to her, and that the defendant, without right, removed the: fenco slic had erected on it. The defendant in his written answer alleged several grounds of defence, viz. . 0.) That the land in gilestion was a part of a highway in Waterto%V11- (a.) That it was a part of the shore and bank of Charles river ,which had been given to and appropriated by the: inhabitants of the: Commonwealth for their use and convenience for 111ore than forty years. ( .) That mare than forty years ago it was appropriated by the inhabitants of the town of Watertown for their gencral use and convenience, and that since this approptiation they had used it as their convenience and occasion regUie°cal. (.d.) Th-at it was, and for more than forty years had been a public landing and watering place. ( .) That ie117a1b1taauS of Watertown were and for more than forty years had been the o,,vners of a right Of fishie3g ia-I Charles river; that one of the: places, and the best place for the exercise of this right Was Elpon, near and adjoining the land in question ; and the Said iiIluabitants, during all this time*, send their lessees and ;:gents, had claimed and exercised the right of going upon, over :rncd across said land at :all sea!5ons on foci and with teams, for all the purposes incident to or convenient and necessary for the exer- cise of said right of fishery. Acid defendant clairned that in removing the fence he had acted under instructions from the selectmen (see P¢tges 30, 31 and V Of record transcripts hereto annexed.). For sanic reason not apparent to acre, the defendant slid not ask for nor obtain from die jury special tindhig s oil the dif crent issues raised. And of the five defences which appear in the defendant's answer, Only one is involved in the exceptions which brought the 6 REP6RT ON TOWN LANDS case before the Supreme Court, and that is the defence that the land was a part of the highway laid out in 17Zo. {Se P 90 33 of record transcript.) As kite as March, 172o (it not later), the portion of Watertown street extending from its .junction with C01fornia street to the tap of the hill, a little east of the Keith residence, (lid not exist. The original portion of Watertown street (or road to Sherburn) east of tho Keith residence, extended from the bridge westerly considerably :wearer the riw,air, until it reached a 1 ollit some-what beyond the loam, wheuct, it turned southerly cu111 rail to the crown of the hill opposite the Keith residence. It was either substantially identical with Fifth ajvcnue and the portion of Cali- forsiia street easterly of it combined, or possibly to little sarathcrly of the same. In the warrant calling the town meeting field the first Monday of March, 1720, there was this article:—" Ancl to hear the request of Stephen Cook as to the altering or turning of the County Rhode on the southerly* side of Charles Rlver, alit] also to endeavor the obtaining of.a passage throw acorner of said Cook's land to carry the County Rhode straight from the great bridge to the. hill n-ainst the pasture of John Bacon." The town at this nieutinl; al)l)0il1ter1 the selectmen a commit- tee 't to consider the request of Stephen Cook{'and view the l;rautad and. to hear the ternis, -,%lid lay it before. the tawvn .at the neck tawwrrs meeting." At a meeting of the selectmen, April �9, 1720, they state that in pursuance of the fcaregeing vote, they, tool; c, view of the prern- ises and heard the proposition which Mr. Cauk submitted in ref- erence to the alteratican of said way, etc., which was as follows: "And that which s ald Stephen Cooke loth desire is that the County Roade which leads over the brook called Smelt brooks~, aright be turned nest to the river, leaving said roade six rods wide. from the hank of the river to the ranee lie proposes to set up ; said ro ade to extend westerly to the: egad of the darnm and then to turn away southerly{ upon said Coolers land until it c01a1aa: nasty the cold ALONG CHARLES RIVER. Z roade again on the edge of the hill. And provided the said Ste- phen Cook can obtain the :alteration of the roade as before described lie loth promise, agree and oblige himself, his heirs and assigns in manner followiaig :—that is to say, that he will make said roade a good, safe and passable roade throughout excepting over Smelt brook iaforesnid, and that lie will be helpful and assisting in the rernaviaag Of scant bridge or erecting a new one : And doth further oblige laic aself that in case the river should gain upoai the upland And there should be steed of it, that tie will remove back again into his awn land until it comes to the lime wherry his fence now standeth (if tweed require) and also will be at what cost and charge will be needful in the law for a con- firmation of said waay.— Anci for further encouragement dotli oller freely to give four rods of land in width across the corner of his orchard for the straightening of the roads from the ,great bridge to Baacon's land aforesaid. Which foam rods shall be upon a straight line from the middle of mid bridge until it comers to the gMVel hill aaxael toopen in proportion on each side of said line. The town to be at no cast either as to the lurid or fcucing." At their mecting May 3, 1720, :after reciting, that they met in reference to the alteration of said road on the southerly sine of Charles river, that said :alteration was for the accor modation and at the request of Stephen Cook and was wholly on his land, and that °° it is also thought to be a benefit to the public," 0 0 * a`as thereby a straight road will be obtained" from the great bridge across Cook's land to the County a-oatd (i.. e. at tole of Bill) mak- ing the location of the altered road as follows: provided it may be allowed and confirmed and said Cooke cornplving with what he ha$th promised, beginning at a post in said Cook fence which standeth nine lengths of fence easterly from the northwest- erly corner of said Cook's orchard, and so to roan westerly over the brook on the southerly side of a rest oak tree marked, :anal so to a white oak, thence to another white orate tree marked, then to the corner which is a stake and heap of stones, then turning southerly into the old road. Said way to be left six rods at pres- S REPORT ON TOWN LANDS ent, and if need be to open further southerly agreeable to what said Cook hath consented to as .appears of record '' (i. e., to move back his fence to where it previously was, if the river rises so high as to require it). I find no further action by the selectmen or by the town on this subject in addition to the fOrcgOiL7g, though I have carefully examined t13e early records for some years subsequent to 11ri,ay ,3, i7zo (see parses of record transcripts hereto annexed, 26, 27, 28 and aq). The counsel for defendant seems to assume that: the action of the town and the selectmen, as set forth above, made all the land in question at part of the highway which was within six rods from the southerly lisle of the street, as indicated at the tinge by a Stolle wall (pro bibly Menticar] with the present southerly lind). This position apparently was riot contested lay the counsel for the plain- tiff, eNcept to this extent : he claimed that the wall on the south- erly line did not represent what was inteatded to be the southerly line by the locaatiml. in 17zo, and that the true line was not atsccr- t:aiitaable. If UIC aetaoraa Of tlae tOWn aiad SCIcctnteat ill 1720 constitutes a valid estnblishment or location of the highway six rods Nvide (the southerly hate being still shown by the relies of an cold stone wall), then it is clttestionable (putting it mildly,) if the town can use any portion of the land extending northerly towards the river for the distance of one hundred feet, for any other than street or high- way purposes, unless by appropriate proccaedings a discontirtu- aance of said highway over a portion of this land is first ol)tained. And in case of a discontinuance of a portion of the land from highway servitude, the town -%voulcl have no title to or ownership in it, unless it was the owner when the I0CAU an making it a part of the highway was. originally Dade. Owing to the high stranding send ablilit4• of the counsel connected with the cease, one should be slow in saying they were mistaken in their position that the highway embraced a strip of land one hundred feet wide, as stated above. flat neve9-theless, fro rn such A-LONG CHARLES RIVER. � investigation as Z have made, I am forced to the conclusion that the action of the town and the selectmen in 17 o (above referred to, and which appears fully in detail ova pages A --7, zS and a9 cl• the record transcripts hereto annexed), was not a legal or binding location, fixing the width of the street one hUndred feet, for while by an act of the Province of Nlass achusetts Bay, passed in 1693—4, selectmen were ernpowered to lay ,out town ways for their respective towns, and such laying inut was valid without xny sanction or action on the part of the town, and while this act remained in force mitil the year 17227, when it Was required that f notice of such laying out should be € my givers to the town at its March mecting, awl the action of the sClectineti should he approved by a majority vote of the town, to insure the validity- of the location (see okcts of I693-4, Chap. 6, Sec. I-, and Acts of 1 M, Chatp. 1, Sec. i) ; yet, according to the records (t) the selectmen were only actitig .is a committee appointed by the town to ti .IkO a rcpDrt upon CC I'Win matters connected witti the request of Mr. Cook for an :alteration of a road ; and (2) ► haat is termed the location of the road is evidently inten€Ied to be their report as a committee to the town, in pursuance or the vote appointing then}. This report is not treated by the selectmen as sa fiia'ah disposition of the matter ; it contemplates consideration and further action on the part of the town, either in the nature of a ratification, rejection or modification. What Avis ever clone by the town or by the selectmen subsequent to May .1, 1720, tlic records do not disclose. The width of the street, in the absence of a location establishing it, and in the al)setice of any fixed boundary on the north side (stitch as fence, wall, or building), is partly at question of limo, and partlyF of fact. It shocthcl be of reasonable width for the purposes of such travel as the street is likely to be used for. Now -assuming the land is not a paint of the highway, or if so, that a legal discontinuance of the highway over it is obtained, is the town the owner of the land? To obtain all the light possible bearing on this gUeS icta, we Iaittst go hack to the earliest years of 10 REPORT ON TOWN L,&NDS the settleniellt of the to►vn. By its first settlers: it was claimed the town owned and compriscd within its limits a very considerable tract of territory on the sOuth side of the river, having but ill- defined bounds on [lie c;ist and. south. In 1633, in orC3cr to l~ceg Mr. Hooker and his colony from removing from Ne%vtown (Cambridge) to Connecticut, NVaatertown g.m_, to Newtown thirty acres of its lands on the south side of Charles river hounding on those of Boston. In April, 1638, a committee of the General Court (Court of Assist.-tilts) appointed to settle the boundaries between Watertown and Newtown, reported " that Watertown shall have one hundred rods ill length abr)ve the Weare and one hundred rods beneath the Weare In length and threescore rods in breadth from the river on the sailth side thereof, and all the rest of the ground on that side of the river to Iye to Newtown," (Seas record transcripts hereto annexed, page z.) In March, 1634—'5, the General Cowart in locating the fire hun- dred :acres of land oil the south sine of Cilaarlts river, granters to Simon Bradstreet (which comprised a large portion of the terri- tory known to-clay as Newton anal Newtonville), uses this lan- guage; * * * &+ It is thereFore ordered by this present Court that the said Simon Bradstreet shall have the said quantity of5oo acres of land lying northwest of lands of Haynes, Esau. to enjoy to him, his heirs and assigns forever. And it is agreed that lie shall take no part thereof"Within ;t myle of Wtlterto n weire in ,ease the bounds of Watertown shall extend sage liar on than syde the river." (Sue mcord transcript hereto annexed, page i.) In January, t634, the tOlv17 voted " Agreed that there shall be foure rods in breadth on each side of the river, wid length as far as need shall require, laid to the use of the Ware so as it may not be PTCjudiciaal to the 'Water Mill i also one hundred and fifty acres of ground granted to the Ware on the other side of the river to be laid out in a convenient place." In May, 1632, the Ger=al Court 11 ordered that the Towne of Watertown shall have that priviic,ge and interest in the Wayre they have built upp Charles River according as the Court hereaf- ter shall think meets to confirm unto theln." ALONG CHARLMR, RTV-P4,11.. 11E It is clear from the foregoing, therefore 0.).) That the WWII tip to 1636 at least claimed to own its present territory ou the southerly side of Charles river. (2.) That this claim was reconnircd arid. alcc]uiCsecd in by the General Court. (3.) That the town owncd the Weirs. (1-) That a strip of the Lind bordering on the river extending froze the darn to the easterly bound-iry of Watertown v,-,18 consid- ered an adjunct to the fishery, or Weirs, and was nccessaiy to enable the town to exercise its right therein. In r 635 it would not he contended that as against the town ally Private Pei-soil had title to this land. While I am unable to find arty cctiveyance front the town of its interest iiil the Weir, or of the land on the south side of the river, I Find ,is early as 163,9 and i64o the Weir and land on the south sick were treated and clisl]osecd Uf .ts ]i'l- atte property.

Nathaniel Treadway and Jno. Stone were sons-in-law of Edward Ilow, and executors of his will. In March, 1661, Nathaniel Treadway conveyed to Nathaniel Coolidge "All my right, title and interest in the Wares upon Charles River, near unto the corn mill Ht the above said town, together with all the l m(l appertaining and privileges and appurtenances tlrereunto bulonghig." (Ilis interest being one-half Lhureof.) In May, 1663, John Stone conveyed to Nathaniel Coolidge the other oue- half. (See large r z of record transcript hereto annexed.) As showing that the land along; the river on the south side was considered ns appurtenant and belon-hig to the Weir (in ad- dition to the, vote of the town in 164+ assigning a strip can each side of the river four reds wide to the use of the Weir, also 150 acres), observe the l titl;u rge in the mortgage fa•oni 1 , ybery to I]umnicr above, 'i and all the Weire in(] one hundred and fifty acres of land thereto 6clranffinff," also the langt_iage; in the deed from `I`hvenas DUdley to 1JdWiti-d How, above, elated Jan. 6, 1643,—all interest in the " Ware or Wares in Watertown" * * * {4 %vith the ground belonging to it; necessary for fish- ing," also the language in deed fi°om N.Lthaniel Treadway to Nathaniel C001idge �Lbove referred to, IL All interest in the: Wares upon Charles Diver" " together with all the land appertaining and privileges asrd appurienattces tlrere:unto belong- ing,'' I have ex;txrlined in the Registry of Deeds at Cambridge, all recorded conveyances to the town from the earliest times till t 8+6o, but find no conveyance back to the town of the Weir or the ALONG CHARLES RIVE. adjoining lend on the south of the river since Mayhew owned it. But in z671 tl}e towaa Vote(] to buy the Weir, fearing if they did not, the Indians would do so, and the following is taken froara the town records of that tirne : ,At a" general To,vne Meeting, April the 12, 1671, upon consideration. of the Indians being like to buy the }privilege of the Wears and fishing at the river, whicli the Town apprehends Nvill be much to the dtaariagae of the town, they being like to be bad neighbors, the town voted all as one man, that they were altogether against their having the Wears or that they should set down so near the town. A vote being m ade ;whether the town WnxaI(I purchase the wears, it was voted by all that were present but four that they were willing to buy them for [lie use of the town. Lieut. Beeres, Willy-tin Bond .and Thomas Hastings were appointed to treate with Nathaniel Cool- ege about the price of the Wears, :tool also wheat title tic could make to therm il' the town and he should bargain for them." Whiie the: records du not disclose the actual purchase ofthe Weir by the town, uuquesdunably the purchase was niade by the town (thC actual date thereof beiaaY; ai1iknown, though probably not for sortie years afterwards, as a deed from I affinniel C;oolege to James Russell conveying one-third interest in the Weir, and dated Feb. ai, i7or-'2, is recorded in registry of Deeds, Cam- bridge, in Bool: Yo, page Zg7—see record trMIscripts hereto an- nexed, page I3,—and in the Probate Court at Cambridge,among the papers relating to the estate of Nathaniel; Coolege, is found an agreement signed by lais heirs and dated 1712, which refers to the Weir and treats a pout of it as Canlege's property ; the in- ventory filed 17i t salsa refers to the Weir as part of the deceased's estaste.) The purchase was probably consummated before 1712, as in i 800 both Weston and Walthain released to the town their respective interests in the Weir in return for the towwn's release to them of liability for contributions to maintain tine brio-C. Waltham was incorporated in 1 f;l$, and Weston in i 7a a. [Taxless the town had secured again the ownership of the fishery 14 REPORT ON TOWN LANDS before t 7 t 2, Weston would have no interest to release. The right to fish at one time was it very valtaable one, and was exvl: cised by the; town and its lessee's until within a Com- paratively recent elate, and was a source of substantial revenue to the town. The ownership of the Weir has never been parted with by the town shice its secand accluisi6011 of it. Copies of descriptions in various conveyances of the Cool property adjoining the river and prcrnises in question are found nri pages 15 to 24 froth iuciatsive. Of these there are only two that refer to the river US a bota:Idalry'. One is the deed from Jere- xniath Dttnl177e.r to Gregory Cool$, dated Jan. 28, 1672, wvilicli for 145 pminds c.oriveyed to Cool¢ 11 one inessunge and tcuemen't con- taining one dwelling hoarse and barn, and land a d-foining contain- ing by estirnation r 12 acres 1110re Or less, and l owided easterly with highway, southerly with land of Edward Jackson S5t Daniel Bacon, Westerly Tl ornas Faerlts, northerly Charles; River." This description ernbracers evidently all the t€;rritory in Watertown known as the: cc Coal: latnd" (Sce 3-lid. Ref;. l}a_)Ole 4, page 177, also p;tge a of record transcripts The other deed is from Steplicri Coals to Richard Parke, dated April 30, t731, and recorded in Mid.

As to the first of these deeds, it may be said thit it was made att a time when descriptions of property in dectis as a rule were very indefinite and inaccurate, and a part of the original Cook property extended westerly of the Lei-minus of the old road along the river where it turned southerly Yap the hill to connect ALONG CHARLES RIVER. with the present: Watertown street, and that portion of the land among the river wns not needed aior used in connection with the fishery; so that the land originally conveyed to Gregory Cook might well be said to found on Charles riser in the; sense that its northerly boundary was in part on Charles river and in part very near Charles river. As to the second deed, it may be said that it conveyed a triangular lot bounding on the river, not a part of the Weir land but west of it. None nf the offie:r conveyances seem to include the Weir land betweeri the street and the river y yet had it been a portion of the Cook estate one would expect to find it included in those con�,cy_ a.nces which were intended to convey all the Conk bend adjoining or iiear the river. See the conveyances from Stephen Cook to Daniel Conk, his son, dated Feb. 24, t j 5, of his " lion-iestend sit- unted partly, in Newton and partly in Watertown, containing by estimation, aco acres ; also tine conveyance from Stephen Cook to John Cooly (his son), dated Sept. j, 1749, of 4o acres bounding, on Comity road or highway leading to Boston," etc. * * * and 4i elsewhere by the highway with both dwelling houses, mil] house and corn mill standing on said piece of Bind ; also deed from Jahn Cc€ k to Stephen Cook, elated Nov. 25, 1789, 14 conveying 38 -toes, VIVOy 1-lowing, pertly pasturage and partly woodland (beingholni'teILd partly in Watertown and partly in Ne%vton), and bounded" * '* * " from thence running northerly by land of said Patten till it comes to stake .Biel stoner at Sherburn Roadl the11ce easterly On said road and ohl ditch till it conics to brow of hill, thence running northerly near Charles.

In this connection the fdllowing ;action and votes of the town before and rafter said partition, are significant, viz. : April 4, 1825, Tyler Bigelow, Albij ah White, and Nahnniel Bemis were srppointed a committee by the town 11 to ascertain what right tlae town have to use the hanks on the soaatlb: si41e of Charles River below the darn for the purpose of taking the fish called shad & Alewives.'' I regret to say I have been Finable to find any report from this committee. April 4, jS,5, the town voted to indernnify the purchaser of the fishery " the present year for any expenses that may arise in eonacquence of his using the banks of Charles River below the Darn in the same manner they heave heretofore been used." Feb. 13, 184.3, the town appointed the selectmen a committee to consider the town's right " to the land can south side of the river between bridge and the dnni, etc." M;arch 13, 1843, the toWn. acCepted report of this committee and voted that 61 the Selectmen be instructed to take measures to have the house placed on said hand by Mr. Doughty removed."

(,fee annexed record transcripts, pares rz[4 and 146.) The depositions of Dr. Walter IIunneWell (a witness f`or the town), and of John Clark (a witncss for Miss Cook), used as evidence in said suit, are not only very interesting historically, but also very i»iportant as bearing upon the ownership of the strip of land in question. Dr. I-funnew c1l. deposed : that at the time he: was seventy years- of age ; had lived in Watertown from i7go, and practised medi- cine there From i 79:3 ; that lay: was thoroughly familiar with the road and land on the south side; since t 793, the land had. been principally used by fishernic n i that: there had never been ai fence between it and the road; that lie and others often crossed the riwler litre with carriages to get on to Pleasant street ; that lie never knew of any acts of ownership exercised by the Cook heirs over this land) and to his knowledge, Mr. Coop himself (whose estate he h.ccl hall charge of for about three years clearing Mr. Cook's inc:tp:acity, same fifteen years prior to the suit,) newer claimed this; land, nor did the Cook heirs ever claim it to his kno%viedge, though lie limed heard something about such ai claim within at year or two. (See pages 36, 37, 3S and 39 inclusive or the oi-inexed record transcripts.) Mr. Clark deposed : that he was sixty years of age, and lived in 'V—Atharn i that lie had lived in Watertown from 1809 to i S4?,; was a storekeeper, a rd wags well acquainted with land on south side of the river; that lie was agent to let t1le fishery :for several years, also as purchaser, in IS24, was overseer of poor; that there wwas never any fence separating the land from the highway; Mr. Cook and the Cook heirs claimed the right to occupy* laud, and never Beard of anyone else claiming this right; that he was town clerk , Hiat when he let the fishery as fish argent, the seiect- mcil instructed him not to guarantee any right to draw fish ashore; that they wislied to avoid n lawsuit wvitli Cook's family; that in 18 REPORT ON TOWN IAA_\TDS 1825 wheii lie was concerned in -fishiit3g with Jaynes Robbins, lie received notice from the Cook trustees that they expected the former would came to some :tgrcenie nt air ith them in regard to drawing fish upon bank of river belonghig to Cook, and that they expected a reasonable compensation For it, etc. ; that lie had seem Mr. Cook at work upon the land removing brush and fod- der. (Sec pftgcs 407 41, Via, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 inclusive of annexed record transcripts.) When I consider that in the first }rears of its setttement the urwn owned the land an the south side of the river and the Weir which caarriecl with it {is an adjunct ai strip cf land :Tong the river; that aftcr parting with the IVLT it the town had un- doubtedly purchased it back again ; that the piece of land between the street and river had been used in connection with Cie fished), ; that it never had been fenced off; that it does not appear Lo 11.11•e been included in any of the deeds na.ade of the Cook property after Gregory Cools acquired it, when ;apparently it was the intention to embrace in said deals all the land owned on or near the river; that such a nian as Dr. Ilunnewell whose op- portunity of knowitig the facts was good, states that lie had never hilown any cla in of private ownership in the land since 1793 (though Mr, John Clark's testiiinony is to the contrary, and apparently lie was a man of importance and ought to under- stand well the niatter about which lie was testifying) ; that the town by its fi hlic acts had asserted its ownership to this land i that the suit spoken of was dropped and not pressed to a judg- ment when both parties had got all the light that thorcaugh invest- igation gave ; and t1lat the tGWI) has eVer since, claimed to be the caviler of it and no one has ;attemp(ed to contest this claim : I ain forced to the conclusion that the town is Lhe owner of this land. PUBLIC LANDING NEAR GAS NVOI?K . S°ecand. Now as to the town Utding, so called, near the: Gas Works.

See Public Statutes, Chap. 54, Sec. I. Thcre has betni no discontinuing act of the legislature. Has there been encroachment upon the hand Falld an appropriation of any of it by individuals by the erection of buildings or fences? I think there has been. 'file portion of landing now unenclosed and open, I believe to he much less than it formerly- was. If the encroach in buildings or fences have existed for more than twenty but less than forty years, it is very necessnry to determine whether the boundaries of the landing can he determined. There has never been, so far as I have been Fable to learn, -illy aetnal record of the location of tile landing, nor silly record of"the town, or oth- erww-is+e, giving in terms the exact dtmensions of the handing. But it is very obviOLa5 than n handing of the dimensions of this ogle as sve see it tea-day would be wholly inadequate for the large amount of business formerly done upon it. {See the Judge's report of the evidence in the a LM! of Cooled e against ]Leonard hereto annexed, PaLgcs 198 to aro inclusive.)

The second lot referred to in said inventory as 14 wharf and cooper's shop," purports to include the town la1.1ading and the easterly part of the Gas Company's estate. It professedly eln- braaces all the land betwccla the land conveyed by White to Plymp- ton, fist described eraa page 95 of annexed record transcripts, on the west, and the Starch factory properiv on the- e.1st. By referring to the said deeds from White to 'Plympton (page 95 of annexed record tr<alasci•il)ts), cleed from llillaard et al to Newton �£►: Watertown Gas Company (page 98 of annexed record transcripts), deed frain Syname:s to Patrick Flannery, and from latter to Farnham (see pages ioi :lra(l .o2 of annexed record transcripts), it can he ascertained just how unuch land there ought to be between the Farnham land on the east and the land which the Gas Company sacgalired by purchase and conveyance f orn Hillard et al, trustees, on the west. I think fro a) the above data. and from such infurnwatimi as old residents in the town caaa Crive, the town engineer ww°all be aliple to determine the boundaries of the landing. I think all the Glea.smi land was as part of tlae land- ing and was appropriated without aatltholity, though undoubk- edly it was purclaarsed by him in good faith, and he S.1pl3OSed lie wags getting goDti title. I should also expect the± catgi�aeer tra find tint the Gas Company has enclosed and without authority has appropriafted a part of the landing. Mr. Chaat•les F. Jackson tells nae, that Mr. Geroulcl, when superintendent, aadsnitted that his cornpaany was using a part of this land without claiming title to There is this sornewhaat peculiar feature in several conveyances of the land between the Sturch factory and the land conveyed to Plympton by deed first described on page 95 of annexed record VOW ALONG CHARI ES I:IVEIL 25 transcripts, if my information is correct.

If the bounds of the landing place are found by the esn- incer to be ascertaaiaa tiles, any straactures erected on the land- ing place within forty years the town has a legal right to remove; or if the exact b0unclaries .are not found by the engineer to be: aascerLdnable, buildings or fences placed upon the handing within twenty ycars can be treated as n nuisance and be removed. But suppose the area covered by the landing plaice is settled, then there arises a gUestiata which has appaa•ently never been referred to or considered by any person or .any committee who have acted her-eteafore for the town in these matters. The ques- tion is this . Can the town use the land comprising the landing for any purposes inconsistent with its use aas a paabliC laaaading? While there have becta but very few decisions of the Court can this subject, I ain of the opinion, until. r.a discontinuance by aara .act of the legislature is obtained, that ti o tetras has no authority- to appropriates ;and use the land for such inconsistent purpows. Suppose the legislature discontitaueEi the public laaaacling, whom does the land belong to? As in the case of a discontinued high- REPORT ON TOWN LANDS way, I am of the opinion the land reverts to the party who uwned it nv Irtii it first lac e;tnle .t public landing. P11"cip ally for the purpose of getting all the ligllt possible on the early owilurship of the land, I have cNamined substantially all the cc,[t� k'.a1i[a s recorded ill C.atllhrrcil;e r-cl t i ig to this and neighboring properly. I confess the coIrveYanceii JIM to give the assistance; I had hoped for. For about as century. .after the Fast recorded cunv ymice affiecting the proper'ty w.as alnaacle, I Enid in nolle of the deeds am), reference whatever to the landing place. This may he accomited For by the extretnely loose .and iniccuraate h.ahiits of tine tinge in describing property in deeds. Agaairly a person examiniang the records of this period is struck by what 1pp;trentl4' was as very prevailing custom taf the time with 11jen 01VIling property adjoining uneiickased cornman hand, naweay, to encroach UJ)011 such conamon land egad appropriate and claim as nitich of it as pt)ssiblc. (See aanuexcd record trt�aasa rilat, pages I09, 1I I, I r' sari elsewhere..) And when 01C h1lidirag is referred to in conrveyonces subsequent to 1 f6o, it is treated as as p}tartion of the grantor's adjoining estate strl)jasct to certalias rights Of Waty, etc:., Of the 11u1-p11c in it. But this .lssu1l1pt!011 Or clwraersllip, can i�:tiaer n3er•clv, eotrlats bta for Iittle. ats an.airrst tlrc 01 M acts Mid ccrnalUCt of the pretended Owner :and anthers, 'when such acts and conduct are inconsistent with private ownershil). According to the depositions of Ben- jamin, Jennison, and Nutting previously referred to, this land Nva1s imenclosud, and every one who tiesired to do so used it in la riding goods hrotight up the river, a111c1 in planting goods in rafts or 1}oats to be carflud down the: river. They Bever knew of aci,yr une objecting to it, or uskirig compensation for the use of it (excepting in the case of one: who had heard rece11tly before the taking of the deposition, that Weld claain-Led same interest ill the premises.) Yet when Weld was notified that lie cot,ld be present at the tAhig of these depositions, to perpetuate tC!stiMULI ,' rcl.rtiarg to the ownership of this property, and could cxamioe the witnesses, and give counter-testimony to be likewise perpetuated, he does not appear before the magis- trates to do this. Again, Tyler Bigelow, 6vho was one of the committee acting Cor the town in taking said depositions, was for Shine years blinself the owner of the land ;adjoining the prcmi1 qcs in question rail the east, i. e., the Starch Factor), lot. He ww"a a n -rent l.iwver and familiar ww•ith the: property in question, and was sa nsfied Weld dicl not have title to the property. For the the s;aane reasons which have been stated heretofore in the case of the land along the river west of the bridge, I believe the town originalh= owned the land a.lwig the river cast of the bridge; and all land along the river east as well ,as west of the bricks, which the town Baas nut conveyed, or which has not been last by appro- priation and arclvcrsc use and possession by individnaal:, darl-ing the time rega.iired by law),, I aarn of opinion, still belongs, to the town. That the tOW11 iri the last center-Y claimed to own the land along the river on the Sotatli side and that people acquiesced in the claim is nOtnritaaas and I)CyOnd ( isl)aatC.

'(See rrnaaexc(l transcripts p.tges 105, 106, ioS and elsewhere thercial.) 1'c=hliC landings were looked upon by the early settlers of Watertown pretty much the same as a railway comp-any would look upon its st atio,a premises at various points along the railrold it hRd jrt t built. The river and hoots and landing places to those who scftlL.d OUT town were the same as the railroad and cars and stations to the railway cump any. Au€1 those stations or landing, ,places were estatlilished aan(l', set apart at the very beginning, and while they Ynight convey -.away or allow indiuirlaa:als to appropri- ate CHICY paiblic property, they would preserve and protect their landing places. I have nn doubt that the public landing near the Gas Company's works was established sul-3stantially when the present village of Watertown was settled, or very soon after, and that until recent years when a careless public tolerated encroach- ments, it embraced an area much greater than it has at present, and I grata lihuww ke satisfied that upon its discontinuance by the legislature, the title to it would be in the town. LANDING PLAe1:- OPPOSITE MOOSE AND 110SU.z R RESIDENCES. Third. As to the land nlrng the river opposite the residende of Dr. Morse and the late Dr. Ilo bier. This is unquestionably a public landing,. The matter was settled by the suit of George Coolege vs. Thomas Learned, begain in 1825 in the {Court of Common Pleats. For the details of the claairns and cottaater-cl-aims of the parties to the snit, see copies of the pleadings, the findings of the jury, and the judge's report in the case, on pages IS6 to zzo inclusive of said extracts hereto annexed. r' LONL Cr CHARLES RrVER. 29 Briel`ly started the rnain facts in connection with the snit were as follows, viz : In L z5 Thomas Learned 'd landed as quantity of lumber for the. Watertown poor house on the landing plaice on the wharf situated osa Charles river between Treadway bridge, so Callled, and the 1101.14e timied by Isaalc Patten " and allowed the same to remain there sLl-ezl days. For this the stilt in question to recover damage was brought NIe}V. 28, 1825, by George Coolege, who at the time ;c claimed both title and possession of all the la lid and wharf Ivirig between the road learding by the houses of Mr. Francis and Dr. Hosmer and Charles river." Coolege claahnecl title (ky intermediate conveyances) under David Sanger, who died a little alter it oo, and whose estate was administered in i8o5. Sanger and his; l rther Before him had livud on the north or east side of the town rand e pposite the prenii.,ws in question. The sot? (said David) avaas as measurer of lunilwr, and was. engarged in the business of raifting lirniber down the river to Bos�- ton. Yai Julie, i'826, after a iong trial in the Court of Cornnion Pleas, the jury rentlered tbo verdict for the defendant, T hotitzis Learned. The case being carried to the Supreme Court on ap- peal in the Cetober tears of 1826, a second triad lasting several days was had in the latter Court, and a second tinic ai verdict was found for the defendant. Thereupon a motion to scat Llic verdict aside was made by the plaaintifl; and on this motion, the testiniolty in the case was fully reported to the full Court for their decision, and in October term of iS:!g the full beiich overruled the moti€rn for a new triad, acid ordered judgment for the defend- ant all the venlict. Ill iS�3o the defendant petitioned the legishl- ture for at discontinuairice Of the landing place and a release of it to himself. The town appobited ar committee to oppose the peti- Lion, and the: legislature finally gave Coolege leave to withdraw. The defence of Le;rrned, (lie defenclaint, was that the premises were a public landing. While Learned Nvas the noinhial defend- ant, the: town was the real party defendant, and assusric d a111 the expense incidentarl to the litigation. The counsel for the town. was that able lawyer, Tyler Bigelow. 30 REPORT ON T0Wx LANDS Pi-cmdIng the land was always to be used aaq a ptablie landing, (lie decision is of great viduu. But if the town wishes to use the laalid for other than public la nd i ng purposes, this trial (except as to tile: testimony- given in it) and the decision of t11e Sttprelne Cntn"t referred to, lose much of their value. The question as to who would be the owner of tlic land in case of a dISC011tillUance, has not been settled by the Coolidge suit. The land to which the litigation related is thus described in the plaintiff's declaration ii Land situated in Watertown containing about ogle-half an acre bOtltlded westerly on CliarIes river, the Mill cruel and Tread- way brook, northerly by highway, easterly by town wary, and sotath-erty by hand of Isaac Paattetl." The deed of Jonathan Coolidlge to the plaaintifl, elated 1824., puTorts to convey- to the latter all the lied in question. And ,while 'In the deed from Richard Sanger to john Sanger (Feb. 4, 16go), in the deed from .Saa4raaael Benjamin to David Sanger, i11 the: description of a portion of David Sanger's estate, set of]' to Seth Sanger by petition about 1%5, and in the deer) of Seth Sanger to jonathaaaa Couledge in iSo , the river is spoken of as than westerly boundary, and while the land i17 (picstion is cils- braced in the descriptions in these deeds i yet by reference to the g)•aant made by the town to Thomas Maay'llew (under wlannl after two intermediate conveyances Richard Swityer c:laainaed title) it will be seen that tile: liana] did aloe extend to the river. :fee pages 150, 15, and 152, nf;aaaaacxtd record transcripts.

The premises in question I believe to have been set C)ff early by the tow-n as as puNic landing, alit what I have prcViOusly, said about a;ul:ll landings ill, nener,rl alypl€c;s to this case. The action Mid COlIdUCt of the town in connection, ti,,.itla tdais aancl aIdjcainillg property in the last century show that the town considered itself the owner, and everyone tapparetltly= acquiesced in this claim of ownership.

Also testimony of James Faulkner, viz : He had known place from q8o to x8o5. 111 1783 lie had landed several bundred tons of lumber on both sides of the river. Never hriew anyone to claim it.

Again, the towvn's owvnership formerly of hind in the immediate aacinliborhood of the paihlia: landing has never been questioned, and the tithe of the present owners of this neighboring land rests upoit conveyances from the town in the last century. The band referred to is the tract between Main street and Mill Creek, just above the Grist -Mill, and the easterly portion or end of the land on south side of Mill Crook :and opposite the landing, which land is really :a continuation of the ground covered by the public land- ing (with the Mill property intervening.) That the foundation of the town's title to the lttald it has thus conveyed is the same as AIONG tMArZLES RIVER. 55 that of its title to this public it has never ccrtveyed, is laiiglaly probable.

These locations had reference to at street or way leading down to the river over jall(l Ito w 011closed by Mr. Cassidy, and also to a street or way Icading down to the river over the low ground east of the Arsenal. There was a sale of two acres of laiid made by the town in [743 to Israel iMead, which two acres are ak;o as part of the said Cas- sidy land. The report or the town committee who made the sale dated May 5, 1-4,-), Is as fUllows so far as it relates to these two acres: 11 We the subscribers the committee chose-ii and appointed by said town to dispose of the common land agreeJAC tO YOUr Vote Past at Your incuting on ye seventh day of-March last and to make report of your doings in said affair to the town for their conFrI11.1- tion agrue to report is followeth, Viz : —Accortling to IIIC trust reposed ill us wQ appointed as clay for the disposal of the common land." * * 0 * * 0 -1 L4 And uposi the appointed time which was the zist of April the cornmittee met at the house of Davit] Cooledge's y' tieing the place appointed in the notificaLion.5 where standry persons met the committee and after consid crable waltill- to Ave people -.in opportunity to come together the uoti- 113 &2 fication was publicly read,"etc. 1.

(See annexed record transcripts page 29.) 38 REPORT o 1OIVTI,� LANDS In I744 Israel Mead petitioned the town that he might hang a ,gate on the town wily lcadj11_ to said piece of land, and that the bounds of the land be extended further towards the. river. At town ineetiog, NIa►rch 5, 1744, the town voted (as to tlae hanging of gate) —11 That yl� said Mend havice liberty to luin ; a collvenient gate across the town way leading to said piece or hind.; —lie first fulfilling the conditions on which said land %vads granted to him." AS to extending his lan{1 nearer the river this pinrt of petition was referred to al committee. Oil 1-I iy 21, 1744, the committee reported to the town 11 That the town grant the prayer of y,- pedt'son so s far that the petitioner Mr. Iaracl Mead, extend his soutlierly hounds so far southward toward the river so as to begin at Samuel Jennison's Southwesterly corner of his fence, near thu river, and to ran straight from said earner to a Saivin bash, which is the first bush standiizg about the top of high water mark, and from SiIid hLIS11 t0 rlllr ;rlollg under the bank just can the lowcr side of Sa win bti!s les till It comes to the town w.ny leading up from the river. A great stone lying in the line not far off, said which litre or bounds. we judge will be generally about high-water maul;,, he, the said Nle.id, fulfllliiag the conditions .on which the land Avas grantccl acid confirmed to hiin." The report was accepted by the town. In March, 1797, al colaitnittee appointed by the town ruakes this report ,.— 'i There is a town wnv leading from Jennison's Lane so c;illed to the flats four rods %vide, land out by the town in the year sixteen hrindred and thirty-nine: Your committee also find that the town in selling a piece of crsrnmon land adjoining said road to Israel Alelad in the year seventeen hundred and forty>- fOUr, leave bouiided hiin at high water rn;trl; froth the road leading into the ricer until it comes to the corner of Samuel Jennison's hall id,S.rr In April, iS�j i, there ,was in the warrant for town meeting the following article:- 11 To see if town will trice any steps to pre- serve their rights to passage way to Charles Dicer over lands im- ALONG CI[ARLES lilNrli,'R. � proved by Col. Thomas Learned." April, -i83 r, at town meet- ing, it was voted " That Selectmen agree upon a passage way to Charles River with Thomas Learned over lands improved by him." This Iast evidently refers to the said town road, Mr. Learned at this time being the owner of the Cassidy land. Most of the conveyinces of the land in queAlon down to its acquisition by Mr.. Cassidy, are referred toT and copies of the descriptions therein contained are given in the appended extracts. (See pages 5 to 237, both inclusive,) In the deed From J T. Ap liorp to Josiah Learned, there is tlai' exception made out of the premises granted . — " Excepting Bank Lane and a town way,both of. which run throttgls the pre- mists."' The way excepted Here is the way laid out in 1639, 1 think, The tract of hand of which the premises in qucstioal are a part, was cut rap into lots and as plan thereof was made, dated 1847, and a copy of this phin so far as it is material, is annexed hereto, marked "D." The lot thereon marked 54,017 ft, and un- mimheretl, is spoken of on plats and in cony ya races as as 14 Large I have come to the following conclusions as to said town way 4 rack wide, laid out in a ,9a (a) That it extende:cl over TkIr. Cassidy's land to the river. (y) That the town has never made a conveyance of the land covered by it, or received any coanpensatiun for it. ( ) That it is praacticflly* impossible now to locate it. (A) Because there are no f %ed or permanent monuments mentioned in the records to which the way can be referred. (B) The premises do not give any indication, can inspection as to the location of the way. The present street running along the westerly eau] of the Arsenal ground, cannot be it, for it fur- nishes za tutally unsuitable nicaans of access to the river. (C) The vote of.'the town in i83t {` That the: Selectmen agree upon a passage way with Thomas Learned over hinds improved by hin7," would scean to indicate that sixty years ago there: Nvas a doubt :at least where the street ran. It is possible that under this 40 REPORT ON TOWN LA—NDS vote the Sclectmen and Learned agreed that the strea along the: Arsenal pr-ernises on the Nvest should be a substitute for the old wary ►vherevcr it let].. Again,, it would seem that, by Lhe adverse possessinrs Far many y mirs of the land covened by the 'Say in question try Learned, and these 4l:trrnilllr tittcler- M111, 111e title Of the town to the land over which the 11':ly rain has beelr lust. (t) Li his deed of the property to Broughton et al, Learned mules no reference to any passage Nvray-, except the one along the Arsenal -round. See said extracts, page 2 }. (z) In the staid plan no reference,a ppareutly, is Made to :such Way. (3) 'tilt; lots I, 11 61 f, S, 91 101 ,11141 41, on said plan aml over a part of which .9aid way must h.a%-c nni, are conveyed Nvith Covenants of tivarranty against al ennui rlrraatices. (See page. --36, abstracts.) ) (4) Mr. Cassidy Ims had all this land enclosed For mralsv Years now. The town, by its Conveyance to mend In :lad 173' Its vote ofextension of southerly bound of the lanel to hi h water mark,— did not part with its title to the land between high water mark and low water mark. Nor has it ever conveyed its interest in such land so Fair us I am able to discover. If the line try-day be- tween the ]sigh %vaater mark and the low Water mark is the: same as in r74l.3, I think the town. still owns the land between these lines; but if this land has been reclaimed and filled itrtificially, or by a uaatural process, and it has been used adversely to the town, the requisite length of time:, the town's title to it may have been lost, as in the case of the town xa'y. It is to be noticed, how- ever, in conveyance of Steele et ul to feel`, the Wharf lest is C011- vey'ed " sul1ject to any rights and privileges of way, whichh any other person may have in said lot, and provided that none of the Cove pants of warranty of this deed shall he held to apply to this parcel of the granted premises." (See annexed extracts, page 735.) It may be that these restrictiotss have relation to the supposed 1 ALONG CHARLES RIVER, 41 right of the town in the land between high and law water lilies. I-'rfth. .As to land ow=er which the other waxy was Inid out, east of the Arsenal property I can not find by the record evidence relating; to the matter, or otherwise, any data which enable nee to definitely locate the way. I do not think the handing to which it led during the last hundred or llnadred and fifty years was con- sidered of march importance by the town, and its title to this land- ing partly on this accoaant -% as allowed to slip away by abandon- ment or the adverse: occupation and use by others. There is the followw•ing report among the town records by committee: ap pointcd by the town relating to this landing, dated March 1, I 3`4, viz : --a c4 We find that there is a la dink place of al3ant 2 acres by Charles River, and a IA 11 V 2 rods wide to the same between the lands formerly Jahn $e nnr& and Jeremiah Norcross ; and there being .a dilierence of nbokat eight rods in the opinion of 2NIr. Child, that owns the land, on moth sides of said way, and Deacon Fisk, Where said way- is that leads to said Banding place." Sixth. There is in Cambridge a public. landing called Gerry's landing (.also called In old records Oliver's Landing, and landing near SaMnel's Hull.) 11 It is situated in Ward i on the left bank of Charles River, taarrls 'S1121-plyr frrrna north to east, and a little northeast of an arm of the riven that narrows into a creek, com- monly known as Coole;e Creek." There is CL a wiy, (called in Bond's Histury of Watertown, Water street) which ie lids from the landing in a northwesterly and Westerly direction, and joins llt. .Auburn street at its intersection with Elm avenue. Aside from record evidence: the location of the landing is a matter of public notoriety, rand is fixed by the nature of the ground and by its old time timbers, which can still lre traced. The way is dis- tinctly marked throughout its whole length, and for one half of its length from Mt. Auburn street is now a:sed and travelled as a road." The foregoing quobtion is taken from a very exhaustive, inter- 42 REPORT ON TOWN LANDS esting and instructive report upon this landing by a committee appointed by the city of Caarnbridge, :and is fotind in the volume containing the annual reports made to the city cotaalcil of Cam- bridge in I SS,3. The portion of C-unbridle where this boundary is situated was orighi ally as part of Watertown, and the landing was ur oaabtedly the Forst one established in Watertown. There is on file among the town records an original letter from the Selectmen of Cambridge written in t77o, and the following is a copy. Gentlemen : — "The. ,Selectmen of Cambridge, being infovnied that you hitend to lease or sell the landing}plaice near Saarnuel's hill in Canibridc;e this clay giver, us as good deal of concern. The wary thereto :is really bclongs to Cambridge as any ways that ware fornierly, laid out in that Dart of Watertown which now belongs to Carnbrid-e. We should have thought that the Selectmen of Watertown Waaald (as they can bUt k110w the town of Cambridge a apprehend it to be theirs) have given us some notice of their design, that so there might have been a friendly conference by both towns by the Selectmen upon the premises. That the uninterrupted harmony that heath ever subsisted bct%vuen the towns might ever continue, is the motive that hath incluced us to trouble you with this letter and with any desire that you would meet the: Selectmen of Cana- bridge on Friday next at five o'clock p. m. at Mr. Richardson°s, Inn holder, in NVatertown, for as friendly conference uport the sub- ject matter, or at such otlier time oi• place as you shall appoint. e are desirous to leave of contention before it be meddled. We think the above proposal will have this tendency* and therefore doubt not your cornpliaance with the same. We .are ge rtlernen, your friends and humble servants, SELECT-MEN OF CAMBRIDGE. On the: i9th of November, 1770, the Selectmen of Watertown and the Selectmen of Caarribrid a nlet for the purpose of settling; the respective rights of the two tokens in said. landing plaice. ALONG CHARLES ItEVEP. 4 {� It was mutually agreed upon by and between the Selectmen of said towns that the choice of the two parts of the said landing place be deteranined by Lot. And thereupon tww-o bats being cast, on the one the w'card North being written, and on the other the word SotIth being written, they were put into a hat, and upon being drawn oast, the lot North was drawn by the Selectmen of the town of Cambridge, and the lot South by the Selectmen of the town of Watertown. Whereupon it was agreed by and be- tween the Selectmen of the said towns of Cambridge and Water- town, that the nialety, Ot- cnc: half part of&sai(l landing place from the North be and rcmain to the said town of Cambridge forever, and the other moiety or cne half part of said landing place from the ,South be and resnairs to the said town of Watertown forever. In witness whereof the Selectmen of the said towns of Cambridge ttild Watertown have 11eirelinto interclatthg'eably set their band the day .and year above written. Signed by the Selectmen of both towns. At a meeting of the Selectmen of Watertown Nov. t g, i 7p, the followirig rate was passed, viz;— 'r Voted tananimously, First : — That the road or way leading down to the la dit-ig on Charles River by the side cif' Samuels Hill is the King's High- way. Second :-- That any gate, bars or fence across said way is not to be considered as continued by the consent of us, the Selectmen of WIatcrtown� viz, because it is the Ding's Highway." I send with this report .a printed copy of the Cambridge com- mittee's report on Gerry's landing, which may be referred to for further information about the landing place. In AI:V, 1772, town voted to build a wharf at Samuel's Hill so gelled, in the town of Cambridge, and to appcaiiYt a committee to find what the charge would 1)e. June 8, 1772, this comi-nittee report that " the estimated cost of building this ww hirf will be 140 pounds, old tenor, or in lawful money zS pounds, 13 shillings, and 4 pence." March 29, 1773. (Town Records.) I- At house of Edward 44 REPCIRT ON TOWN LANDS Richardson, the wharf late1v built by town in Cambridge, was put tap at auction to be let to the highest bidder. Mr. Christo- pher Grant }yid 5 pounds, 15 shillings and 4 pence, which was the highest bid. It seas therefore .agreed that said Grant sbould have the improvement of said wharf for one Ye it from said day, March 1o, iSzo." The Ct3al mittee a ppointed to unect a con-imittee from the: town of Cambridge to Inclu.ire rote) the situation of the wharf and privileges the town of W ate rto%tin have iu and about slid wharf in Cambridge, make a report which after reciting some of the previous history of the wharf, closes thus: " Tour wino-littee, with the information as above met the committees from Cambridge at the wharf, :and on viewitag the san-te find it to be almost annihilated as to timber, and that a repairing would be nearly a rebuilding, and the expense tivauld be sea large that the yearly rent or income would not lie four per cent. on the: cost. Therefore your e:nt)irnittet recotnrnend that the WWII 127ake sale of their part of wharf and landing, either by public or private sale, and that a comirnitte:e; be RI)I anted by the town for the 1)urpose, with power to give: a title and to join with the town of Cambridge in a sale, as they may think the intcrest of the town may ruquire." It seems that nee sale of the; property has ever been Made. Tor do I see how this can well be clone: until tile lcgi.ShIteare has dis- continued the: public landing, unless the purchaser asSunaed the responsibility of securing sudh disc'wteiiw ance himself. The town :still owns the half of this property. The a nne3ation to Carnbridge: of that part of Watertown iaa which the property was situated did that deprive the ter++ n of N atertown of its title Lo the premises; it simply brought it under a different tntinicipal jurisdiction. When the legislature, renim-es froni the hind the servitude `incident to its being a public landing, the tnWn W1111 theca be in at pc)sition to sell its hall'. Seventh. I ani of the opinion tl)e town owned some laid along the raver on the north side below Wheeler's property, off from Riverside which waas used l3airtly as a handing place, and partly as a wateriaag plac e. But the azdjoining owner soot) assumed ALONG CRADLES RrVER. 4 the occupancy of it, and treated it as his own, and the town, at first protesting against it, afterwards acquiesced in the assumed ownership of the abutter. The following is taken fronn the town records sander date of July, 1666, ;and relates to this land along the river below Wheeler's property, viz : '+ Copt. Mason and John She:ren in made return of their enalaloy about Samuel Benjamin's fence, viz., they went to SamuelBenjamin's house about the beginning of x666, :and tendered him to allow Mahout one acre of the land, pro- Zvideel lie l ayed the rest open to the highway ; about peas harvest in 1666. Complaint being made that the highway was fenced in and li issage incumbered for passing over the river, we Rvent 1 second time and warned Saar. Benjamin to pull 'sip his fence that enclosed the town's Iaif hway axial their hand, and in case lie did not else it one week's five: wc idd come and doe it, .and at the week's end arc Nvent again and found lie hind not done it, and lie sayd lie would not floe it, nor thanke the t€wne for the land they tended to hian, and theca we pluckt Yip his fence. The two. returns the town allowed and approved." Respectfully submitted, J. J. SULLIVAN. FIFTY-SEVENTH ANTNU'AL DEPORT k-. rirF, SCHOOL rip.. WATERTOWN, FOR, 1894-1895. W. TEIi.TOW N: FRED. G.

The details of the school work during the past year, and cer- tain recoinmendtatioais for the coming year will bc, found futly discussed in the Superitatendent°s IiLcpart. During; the past year the complicated machinery- that educates soave nine IlUndred pupils has run saxaoothly, and has tumid out a prodaact that maast become of inestimable value to the com- mun1ty. By the careful exorcise of economy, we have saved somethialg towards paying for the introducing of as adern plUmbing into the High, Parker and Spring schools. This expenditure of fifteen hundred odd dollars was not anticipated in your estimate last spring, but the bail sanitary condition of the different schools made this radical change seem to us imperative, {roil we det+er- m;ned last suaranaer to connect these three: sc.laraols with the sewer, alnd to pays the; cost of tiae sank as far as l)assible from our regu- lar appl-opriration, and to depend upon dic contingent fund for the r€rnaainder. We were able to pays two-thirds of the east, and the contingent paid the remainder. During the coming saiminer the Grant and Bemis schools :should be connected with the sewer, and a special appropriation of one thousand clollaars should be made for this purpose. The experiment of having two courses in the Grammar school, so that the studies may be completed in four or six years, has prayed very successful, and is being adopted by other cities and towns under the name of the Cambridge method, although Watertown adopted it before Catubridge did. By paying more aattctltion to tlae Individual, and by aallaNying 6 CHAIt MAWS REPORT. him to travel at the speed best, suited to his powers, we climinish the force of the criticism that the public ,school system tends to bring all scholars to a common level, .ami thereby discouragcs the growth and development of the indivitluaal. The: desire, often cxpressed in their rep arts, on the part of [lie cflaramittce to traansler the Francis School From its present unsuita ble quarters to a new building, is at last to be realized. The new building will be reacly for occupancy next September. It has been suggested that this building be called the Oliver Shaw school. There is nn ne�v :school to be ta.imed, as the Francis school will be trarsferred froni its present quarters to the new building, antl the honored name, Francis, will at last be associ- ated with a building in every respect worthy of it. It may be wise, when the new bUildirag is completed, to extend still faartlier that system of cullsolidating the schools in the: centre of the town, that has proved so beneficial from ati educational and financial point of view. The growth of the Manual Training; school has been retarded on a3ccoaant of the lack of suitable quarters. It is expected that suitable accommodations will he provided in the basement of the new Francis building: The cocking school contintics to be very POPtalar with both Parents Und Students, and its usefulness should be extended as much as possible. I wish to extend to file teachers the thmiks of the Committee for their faithful and efficient service during the past year. With this report, I gluing to a close a service of ten years on the school board. It is with considerable regret that. I feel obliged to decline a renoaninaation for as position that has occupied so 11- aaar13 of my timC dtrritrg these years. The steady support that I htavc received frown the Committee, tiro« Public and the teachers has niade my service ple isa}nt, and I hope, profitable to the cause of education. It is pleasant for arse to recall, that dur- ing this time the citizens of Watertown have never refused to vote the appropriation asked for by the Committee. 'CHAIRMAN'S tf3.1'ORT. 7 The members of the Committee have tried to merit this confi- dence and generosity on the hart of the citizens, by a wise and judicious use of the rnoney intrusted to there ; and we think that the present high standard of the schools shows that we have faith- fully discharged the duties intrusted to us.

Education has been ivell defined as 11 the eflcct wroxrglit in the child by what he is led to tiler." But in what way and through what training this €:fect shall be hest secur•eci with the least expenditure of ct1brt, are questions for which as yet tliei-e is tso, fin:cl answer. Soinc thin'us, however, may I`re viewed as settled. It is tier longer thought that through books alone rtrrxs the stnuight and narrow wav to the irrtcllcctual Iife.. It is Certain that Socrates and Solomon and the semen ~.rise men of Greece died not travel such a M,ay. E%perience educates; and we absorb it art all CUr pares.,, Our debt to the senses is beyond expression. Eye and ear and hand are media through which impressions troop by regiments into the mind. It is by seeing, hearing, doing; and judging of the things seen, heard anti done ; rather than by read- ing, and saying a passive anten to the juilgrrrents of others, atat a child struggles tO the srrrr1rrr7it of his l)oWers. Prof. Wrn. Kin don C lillord, all Eir-lish thinker with the intuitions xhich sec what is not in siglit, arrived at this con- clusirin : — " There is an atom -which thinks in elrery molecule of this body of ours." The moire or less conscious acceptance of this view is wide-spread. The arse and grace and tisefttlrtess of .t physical accomplishment—like riclin , dkrncirrg or switxi- ming—are instinctively felt not to be all ffi:a conic from it. There is mental discipline in the acquisition of shill (W c� ,ery sort. In the cstirnate of any school study it is necessary to discrim- hVite l)etXVCCn its V-.l1ue for tree and its value in intellectual develop- ment. Strtrte Of tlrc Most trsefirl studies have little ezllucational value. President Hall, of Clark University, an eminent special- ist in these valties, chlinas that, as an aid In mental enlargement, IF learning to read has about the saine value .rs.. learning to play the piano , that hand-writing has less value than type-writ- in-, and about cane-fifth tlae value of shorthand ; that a complete school course in the mechanic-ail part of arithmetic"—by which he is stipposed to mean the ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide, and work fractions—is of no more: value: tlian the mem- oririrag of eigiat pfal es of ordinaaq print ; that a hackivi an who comes to known half the streets of BOstorl secures the educational v:aluc of as school course ill geggraPhv ; and that there: are three hundred trades and industries a knowvletige of any one of which is worth as much as an entire course in reading, writing, arith- melic and geography." It seems to the writer that, after reading, writing and a little of aritlarnetic, the subjects for as child's education should be C110serr, less for their w•.altae aa5 knowledge than for their :agency in his gen- eral development. The kindergarten sees in his play a traitaing opportunity of no little inipart:ance ; :and the collegc finds ill at1-1- letics a co-eeitar.ator ww-i.th quadratics.

At doer close of the present school year, we trust Our townspeople will have an opportunity to estIni ate, from an exhibition of corn- pleted work of the small class DOW Untlee instruction, the practi- cability and value of this scheme as an important element in a broad common school education, ,and in a line of manual training so invaluable in after life."

In his 11 Developrimit OFlliil 1 in the Child," Prei'er says— and aail educators enteda hi the smne opinion —" No main can comilialtlic rte to another what color is, or describe to him at tune. It is the s.imc with all genuine sensations. One must himself experience them in order to know what they are. 110riginatl settle-pereeption, then, is the teams by which the clidd learns.

A murmuring spring, a leaf, in eats of corn, a tiny beetle, :r creephlg SM-lil, nay, even a single liair, becomes to the child a fhantatin of pleasure that absorbs him wholly."

The same year the School Committee created the department Of science ill You" HWI school with as special teracher; and the fOlioNvirab Year t}act• permitted ill the grin-f ary and gramniar schools the coarse of instruction in science aiow in use, :and #irst published in the Superintendetit's reports for jSq?, and r y,,. One of the chief° uses of these nature studies is to train tlae child to close and accurate observation. As long its we lire the eye gathers the food oil which the soul feeds; aaud the Better traiucd the eye, the more abundant, the more varied, and the more heaaltliful the diet. A second use is to increase interest in .anirnaals and plants, and to convince the mind that aaaature is as worthY of study as l)ooks. It certainly deapens to child's interest in a kitten to discover that it has, like himself, wrist .and elL ow, ankle and knee; and, through similarities of structure, to prose its kinship to the king of beasts. Thus, through much observation of beasts, birds, fishes, insects and plants, there sinks into the mind of the child as rich deposit of elementary kno�Vje(ige a°esl)ectiaag the ftaaictiC]:as of aagatns, the methods of a:laassificuLion, .acid the a yelaatioa7slzips established by likenesses of Corm ;--»$Ubjucts of investigation ais suggestive of thoai;Ziat aaael ate condaaciVe to intCliectLIA di:vulapment as the tra- ditional inrltiir�- about the sure of two and two, Nor aaa oast we: overlook the aesthetic value of these studies.

The resolution has bec€x€ne, by sheer force of inherent =11111on Seiase, the golden rule of modern sci- entific research. The laboratory method of teaching science: in yoiir High school owes, its educational valtie to it constant loyalty to this rule. 11 The method consists of observation and experi- ment for the determination of the facts of natare ; of inductive and deductive reasoning for the discovery of their mutual rela- tions and connections ; and of .1 verification of all hypotheses by the widest reference to facts andexperience." In the study of language and history, the reasoning is grounded for the most parL all)vn than authOrity Of Le.aclaCrS and books, ; l)ut, in the study of sc.iellcc, "tile hind of the pupil 1s brought into direct relaatiota with fact, and leer is made to see by flit: use of his own faculties that the thing is as seen and not otherwise.

The ': Commitee of Teri," appointed in E89z by the N1 aiml ai Education Association to consider the subject of High school studies, have made their report within Lhea past year i and, as respects the: science studies, recommend :— (ii) " That the study of chemistry precede that of physics ill I3igh school work. (2) That the stuCiy of physics be pumied in the last year of the High school. coiu•se. (3) That the study Ofchemistry be introduced into the high school; in the year preceding that in which physics is ttIkCI} tip." The " Committee of].`en" fiirther recommend that there be a zninimuin of at year's stitdv of ai:atua:il liistcir�! in the HiC;la school , and that, if` such study he limited to ai,ye.ar, the subject be botany rather than zo6logy, bec iuse materiatls for the study of botany are more easily obtained than for the study of zoalogy, and because the stony of plants is more attractive to tiie avertige pupil. The course of,study for your High school is in exact conformity to these recommendations. But the " Committee of Ten " con- SidCr a yr;aa" of nattire sturdy as a minimnm and recommend, wherever praic.ticab le,—.incl it is practicable in your 1:1igh school. as at present organized,—that xoblogy be taught as a secand natut-al science.

A PVIJLIC I INDERGARTRN. In 1871, there were in the United Statcs forty-two kindergar- tens ; in 1892, there were 2,459. Last year the town of BroAline, in a tonal force of eighty-six teachers, had fourteen kinde•gartea, teachers. A like percctatage would live live to NNIatertoww•n. There would have been a kindergarten cstsblishe_d in Septean- ber, if the School Committee had had a .suitable room in wvhicli to put the children. On. completion of the sch()01-110tsse 110w being built, they requisite accommodations will be ready for use, and impatient mothers may expect the: school they wish at the opening of the next school year. Dr. Andrews, President of Brown Univengity, says that our brays and girls are two years behind the average of the same age in Gern-iamr." Other observers have said substantially the same thing. There are seveml reasons why this is true ; boat onlyr twro of tliern -w•ill now be given. Fiast, the. German teachers begin earlier than we do, and begin with the kindergarten. Maach of t1w superiority of Llic grammar schools of to�claay over the graaram ar schools of twenty years ago springs from the earlier beginning of- studies. And it is . loan this road of an earlier stain ill subjects Lhat push up into their province that college faculties .are seeking to improve Preparatory training. Your primary teacher, who receives the pupils frvan the private kindergarten in town, speaks of the greater readiness of these pupils, in the performance of the school work. Indeed, the fixing of the school age at five years seems a blunder to many educators, and is in direct opposition to the practice of Hnglarid, France, and Germany. Second, the German teachers begin better than we Rio because they begin with the kindergarten. The kindergarten seeps to devTelap the child througfr five a-CnCies—songs, stories, occrtp�I- tions, gifts, and games. The games have in view his moral de- velopment; the gifts tare lessons in farm and the arts of design ; and the occupations are first steps in manual training. The stories develop the irnnginadon—a faculty of which Lowell has said that " Compared vv=ith it all other organs with which the mind grasps and the memory holals are as clutrtsy as thennbs." 66 Truth is not concrete nor literal, but ide-al ; and imagination is Mae hand which draws aside the r-cil of material and shows the reality behind. And the love of n.tta]re WhiCh the songs inspire IS. i:rz:tgi:lati{ear's twirl sister, withouL vt'lticlr site is bW in kart her- self. The kindergarten hclps the child to find in nature, besides her lavish beauty and kaleidoscopic variety, the Bleep and pertna- nent satisfactions that grave out of sympathy with her moods. For it is not all that rivers move to ralusic, stuascts have glories, and flowers such tenderness of color and Form ; there is, besides, a great heart in nature which is the other half of the p tssionate human heart ; and deep calleth unto deep." THE STUDY OF ENGLISIT. A general revision of the work: in this sub�eet had been coni- pleted for the ether schools, and was. in progress for the High school, when so sa.dlyr interrupted nearly two years ago. The iinimedi;ate successors of Miss Crafts were birds of passage ; and it was not till Miss Wendell becaane Vic teacher of English that the work of reconstruction vvas finished. At present the schools study English mainly n1ong Five litres of inquiry : (t) With reference to its intelligent use ; (2) with reference to its structure; (3) with reference to its history, its sources, and modes of growth; (-I) vvith reference to strength and beauty of style; and (5) with rAlurence to an appreciation of its literature. The child is trained from tlae very Outset to use complete sen- tences, to observe and imitate the goad forms of speech of his classmates, aantl to adopt SLICK other forms as his teacher may sug- gest. New subjects are brought to his notice from day to day that new Nvords anny be intrOdUced, explained, and mastered. His stud}* of nurnhor and geography, and when he has learned to rc:aaal, his sazppltr e[)tary rc:tlliug have aimong the sLibordinatc alms an addition to his stack of Nvoatls, uatd to his power to n:aalzc tlseaai express his thought. Before he Laves the prirn..iry school he writes little essays, iaa which he makes L6 the parts of speech vividly conscirms" of this power. Powell's 4,I-low to Talk" and I How to Write" are helpf 1. books to he found on the desks of all teachers in Phe primairy grades. In the lower grammar ar schools the work hroadens. While teaching through practice :and example is constaint, and the male deduced front observation of these, Look-work in langusge nn,%v begins. The teacher supplements her own turning of needful. points to the light Nvith pupil stuLlics of Southworth's " First Lessons in Langlaaa-e." Such books as Miss Hyde's and A-Irs. Knox-Health's are always at hand for consultation by that teacher. There is much writing M reprodaaction of stories and lessons. Great care is exercised iii details. A teacher Intely called the Superintendent's attention to the way her class could u:ne capitals and quotation Irnarks. The Superintendent himself saw as school- boy -.sprite the initials of as name on a moist ear-window, -and put in the periods as automatically .as he breathed. A large .aniount of supplementary reading its accomplished in these grades with unconscious enlargement of vocabulary and absorption of varied forams of expression. 61.tESop's Fables," 'The Swiss Family ," and °�T obiason Crusoe" constitute ax part of this SUP- Robinsonplenzcntary reading, aaarl are the child's first taste of the sweets of literature. An improveanent in the reading matter of these grades is in contemplation. Books of folk-lore, anyth, and 1egrend, writ- ten in language not too difficult for beginners, are now accessible, and will replace the mere exercise-readers as rapidly as wear makes a fresh supply necessary. The child will them nourish his imagination-on the mother-milk of the great wander-stories of'the race. ..ti` F'I1 I F7t'a rl'S REPORT. 19 In the Grant school, prefixes, silfTixcs, and word-bLlild hl(r from routs that spread Widely receive Careful :attel-Itjoki.

Translation teaches as clothing else can, that there is a best way, Mid that the hest way is the only %vaay." (z) because of the mental €iscipline iIl the study of a foreign hinguage. Edward 'Y firing, in his life the hest selioolmaster of England,nd, speaks substantially as follows on this point. There is in such study " a coustmit comparlson of graetiitiiar and structure which calls into play the loc icaal and masoning fac- nulties, cxercising the mind in evcryr concL iMthle way, .and sup- plying itifinite food for fazicy, memory and imagination. It is the hest nicthod of ,awakening dorninnt powers, of dircc:ting and training them, of giving them maateritil to work on, and of so increasing their vigor and quickening them into, higher life as Iaraactically to atrl0ttalt to nothiaig lass thaasl a giving of new senses.'-* (3) Beeaaw-u the grammar and conamonest words of English are of Gertnmm parentage. It is usuall to call English a compo- -site laanguaa-g �vitla Latin, French aaud Anglo-Saxon— as Gernian ,dialect—as its princ:ipaaI factors; but it would be more accurate 22 SU11.0RINIEI DENT}i5 REPORT. to call Anglo-Saxon the mother- tongue of English. Now, we study Latin for many reasons ; yet, if the only benefit derived from its study were a knowledge; of the Latin element in En25 glish,. we should study Latin rune the less; and the knowledge of Ger- man, more than the knowledge of Latin, pasurs a flood of light upon the: strtictrarC, idion-is and half the words of English. (4) because: of the value of German literature. Said George Eliot--" No one who psis an acquaintance worth rnentioning With the prtscltictions of the German milad its any one department is unaware that the peculiatrities of that mind have been the source of pre6ninently Important cont.ribratiODS to the surd of our mental wealth. The Gerniaxn mind possesses ill ar high degree two tendencies Which are often represeutec as opposed to each other,—namely, largeness of theoretic coi ceptlon and thoroughness its the investi- gation of frets.

In fact, if any one in the present day can be called cultivated who dispenses with a knowledge of German, it is bec.trtse the two offi:r greatest litera- tures of the world are now impregnated with the results of Ger- maal labor and German genirrs." MANUAL TRAINING. In the primary schools, besides writing .and drawing, there is ar systematic course of kindergarten and industrial eNercisrs aim- ing in ac geiaeral way to unloose: the flingers and give theilx rapidity, dexterity rand accuracy of movement. In tlae grarnmar- schovIs plain sewing is taught to girls for four years, dress-cutting and fitting for one year, and cooking for one year. But for boys the traitlinl; is by no nee,-Uls rs s:itisftcterry. They have, knife:-work in w(jud for the first three Years, and, for the fourti, tent-, the first-year work of au elementary manual-training school.P What is done in this first-)c;',' work Nvas drown in the SUI'tlRINTEL-YDENT'S REP011M r.3 last report. The second-year work, when estfabIishe€3, will be advanced work along the titles there nne„rationed, to�;ethe:r with the use of lathes. The third-year work will be as course in metal work with forges, anvils, etc. The SupeYiiltelideilt. here pr-xrctic',tlty renews the recommenda- tions of last Year with reference to second-year work. At the time of those recommendationg the building of the new school- house had not been ;authorized, and the Spring building was the pally l3lace available. As the new baiilding is to furnish accom- ltic lotions for a manual-training school, it seemed inadvisable, to set Lap the machinery elsewhere; for one year. In consequence, second-year work remains to be established. An estimate of cost is given, 2 Lathes— eventually four, $150 00 I Dvua ma. 200 €0 Power For one year, So 00 Work-benches, 5 cap Tools, I25 00 Instruction for Ogle 3-Car, zoa 00 lYlaateriall, 150 00 Total m3ticlpated outlay, $950 00 Until toast winter the haw (User-imina1tcd somewhat against cook- ing and manual training as public school studies. Thanks to your Representative in the List Legislature--'Mr. John E. Ab- bott—the law now places them on an equal footing with the other studies. As long; ago as I8gr, President .Eliot, of Harvard, said of the manual-tra i n I mg studies :— "I airs old enough to remember when the brain was supposed to be the seat of the mind, jmt :is the pings wereheld to be the 23 furnace that warms the body. I remember being taught that the anim;il heat was k—upt up in the taings, but we all know better nuw. We know that wherever an atotn is consumed, in what- ever part of the body, there heat is generated, ain(], therefore, that the animal heat pervades the whole organism. It is just so with regard to the 11allna11-1 mind ; it peiva des the 'bod3'.

SCHOOL EXPENSES. If a line be drawn from the northern point of Cambridge to the northern point of Newton, it Will hive On the Boston anal New- ton side, ninety-nino one-hundredths of y#Cur territory. The most careless inspection of the map shows your populous district to be a narrow strip shirting Oic•:,o three cities. You are closely linked to them in social ,aud Utesincss ways; it is the writer's province to know that their stunciards of eductadon are the: standards by which your cacliools arc judged, Brookliaze, Which is eaitirely surromide:el by Boston acid Newton, finds in their proxinaityf the: necessity to pay as good school sakiries as either. It liar been shown in previous repasts—and is equally true to-clziy— (r) that the bulk of yotlr school appropriation is ex- Pencle:d ill salalrics; ( ) that the $55o salaries are tabout ten per cent. less thim Chow paid to teachers of similar grades by your neighbors in C:ambrid-c, Ne Nvton :and Boston ; and (3) that the percentage of its ox abler property paid by Watertown for the support of schools is lcs, than the average for either Middlesex county or the stag:. It is -Ikea true that previous appropriations have not taken suf- ficiently into account thu effects of Ilse upon apparatus, Slip- plernentfaryF reading, refei-ence books and other lielps ; thaat there are to-clay serious deficiencies in these ; and that despite 111 en- largement of aim and prof-7trnine, the need of furLhereulargemerit in the direction of 1kindergarten :and manual-tralitling school con- t111l1es urgent. In ViCVV Of thCSC f:actS they SUPerintetldent of Schools makes the following recommencl:ations :— I. That the salary of cacti teacher in the Francis school he advanced $5o. `Phis :advance would increase the cost of the school $too. In return for such increaase the town would secure the superiority of instruction which coanes from the long continu- ance of a good teacher in a department or grade. Change is waste and loss. Educators now hold that knowledge of the .sub- jects to be talught and succc�ssful experience in the best methods of teaching then] .are but half of a teacher's qualifications; there must bc, besides, an intimate acquaaintaancc with the caapaacity, peculiarities Oild iiatellectalaal possessions of the itldivicluat child. Its temperart.aent, habits, previous state of health and environnient are as desirable for her to know as for the physician when called to prescribe for it. Herein lies the aadN,antage of the small school over the large ; and one reason for the preference of departmental to ordinary work. No re-ol,ar teacher expects the substitute of a week or fortnight or anonth to carry forward a ;school. The Superintendent estimates the appointment of a new tenclier as equivalent to six weeks of delay. For she rimst livid out what the children know before site can teach them wfiot they do not know. A child at School assimilates no ideal, suggested by object or picture, speech oa- book, without calling into exercise what he has ahead} learned or experienced. The mind ;raasps new knowledge €asily and quickly only by reference of the new to the old. Therefore the teacher rer-dis and freshens in the child's inind whatever is related to the new i and these related ideas hurry to seize (lie new, force it into tite fOrega'oulacl and lix it in the focus of consciousness, and set it at list aaniong themsLIves in its true plaice as determined by mutual affinities. The teacher's problem is to unite old and new as book and eve ; but, if the hook is Lurned away or aaltogether absent, what hope is there of a Speech- Or 5trot)g connection? To snake this connection with Certaainty, and ;along the limes of limet resistance, the new teacher must first prepare the chart of an unmapped const; and, for ade- quate soundings, it is necessary to make hundreds of casts of the lead. 'These take tiaucl7 tinge, aan€i precious tune; anfl, meanwhile, the school is almost as stationary as the sea-bottom. There is good reason to believe that $boo a year for assistants in this school will prevent frequent change. The assistants in the Grant School are paid $boo, and there has been but one resignation among them since Mr. Ham came in xSS9 i and that resignatic)n was in 26 REPOTET. anticipation of marria g-e. In tlae 1 i.weis seliool in the snrne six years, there have been fourteen different teachers. Death, mar- riage and other causes produced four of these changes; but the salaries were dircetly or indirectly the cause of the other ten. The school is now ill the bLst e~ondlition for years. But what of the out- look? '}'1te cl tntrcr-sil;aa:al is stt t[ll tl7L't]t11C. The principatl hasheen ollered $6zo in Caaratlarid;e, but remains with you because: of her home in Watertown; the only one of the assistants whose appoint- ment dates back of September last, refused to rene:wv her engage- ment in Jtme, and her return was lcrta- ill c10ubt; of tfae tss•v newt/ ,assistants, one has already wsigned a ml le:11 the school ; and the ether has requested an influential agency to find her a school elsewhere. Six hundred dollars would have kept the assistant who has lately gone ; $boo will take: out of serious risk the two who—without it—are pretty sure: to get. If as special teacher of scicnce should talte tlae place of one of the regular teachers in the school—as recommended in that part ofthis report which deatls with science torching—the iaa:crease of cost would be $too more, or at total Of $300. I1. It is proposed to put the: present teacher of the. lowcst- grude Phillips Primary school in charge of at kindergarten when the new schoolhouse has a acceanamodations for it. The: wr:acaancy caused by stich ar transfer will creme as demand for an additional sahuy from September, iSq- to I'elai-uarv, 1896; or for the slim Of $2i5- 1 H. If secuml-}-ear work in the maanuaal-training school is aauthorizeel, the cost of equiprnettt, instruction [and material as shown elsewhere—wotild he $950. IV. There: should be tin annual a ppropri:ition of $.200 for supplementary maading, refurence books and apparatus. The Et- tle the schools now sceure for these asses is stlueczcd out of a Pretty dry sponge. V. if a ny one will take the trouble to add the current salaries for teachers and sulxcrintemlent—as shmvn in the sun-imatry at the egad of this report—lie xvill final that they aaia,ount to $ 0,750.

If land about the Square is worth $z.00 a foot, it is because the people who are asking you to give a good education to their, children have made it so.

The Trustees of tlae PLIblic Library rapport a year of no unusual expenditures, can the contraq a year of effort to keep within the reduced appropriation—:an ef3ort made more difficult by a anate- rial fidling oft' of the income frorn the dog, tax. The current ex- penses of the Libraq such as salaries, heating and lighting can- not be reduced, although the Trustees have tried to economize fat lighting, because of the heavy I�iarden of the cost of electric light. In other expenditaaa'cs, ill a•epMrs of books Worn ill use, in the binding of periodicals, the Library has been kept up to a satis- factory standar€l. In the purchase of new books the Trustees have been limited. That the Library is btcoming more useful is unmistakably shown by the iiiereaased cirCUlaatioal, Which indicates an advance of twcutyF per cent over the year 1893, The card cat:alOgue has beam made tip with the :accession of each purchum of new books and will be found most useful to anyone seeking works oil any suhjcct,or rile works of any aauthor. In addition to the card cattaalOgaie, the intelligent and enthusiastic services of the Librarian and tlle. assistants will be found help- ful, to all who may need tllern. Patrons of the lil-mary are urged to familiarize themselves with the card catalogue and to make frequent use of it. In the reading rc7omq, greater use and a better aaSC of the 1-00111S and their abundant supply of reviews, magazines and p 1pers have been noticed.

XXV11. To the Trustees: GENT1.RMIL f,—In presenting my twenty-seventh annual. report I may congratulate you upon an improving condition of tlic Library uader your charcre, both as to the number and equality- of books and periodicals on the shelves, as well :as on the increase in the nuinher of people using the library and the ro ading-rooms Connected with it. ,NGZ�1i3Lra OV BOOKS. The number of gooks has been increased by PLIYCI]a,,Cq which you will explain to the town, and by gifts from many fricads of the Library. The regular accumulation of periodicals has con- tributed by binding to Lhe ininiber of valuable volurnes. Dupli- cates and worn out books discarded [luring the pa6t fe-,,v years have finally been sent, by your direction, to .assist the unfort"nate: poor of the South who are struggling to learn to rend. I would advise a furtlticr gift of better duplicates to the Tuske- gee Industrial mid 1\7OMIL! Institute. We iiced the room these occupy. They need the books to help prepnre tcachers for the more ignorant. We have freely received there. I suggest tlaat, instead of selling them for :a pittance, we give th.111, most of them, where they may do so nlLlch good. By CO17t]Sal3ing this work of freeing our shelves of duplicates and worn out books we shall m-ACe r0QLn for the fuller purebases of new books, which Z hopC you will be able to make.

The no nber Of VOILLmcs issued during the year was 42,083 The number issued for home use was 33,033 The number issued for Library, use, besides all un- limited number shelved in both reading rooms, wits 9,050 The largest "umber any one day, April 14, was 366 The smallest mimber any one clay, July, 2, was 50 The average for the 30S dlnys %v:as 137.8 YOU will see that this is the highest number we have ever reached. The whole number is twenty per cent. larger than it Was last yea11" and twelve per cent, larger ehan for any Other year since the library was est.abliz-hed. This increase in natmbers is in itself -ratifying, If it reflects your constant striving to meet the Willits of the people in the choice of new looks, or the paiills- ta king, cheerful and hearty serving of the library attendants in; answering the sail of readers, it is the natural result to be ex- pected in a. good work. Our Library, in common with other libraries, has been sought by incrensing numbers of people, this past year, partly from the graWth OF pc►pulation and partly from the partially enfoaceci leisure due !ca cinll tunes in business. a: will not take too much credit to ourselves. But it is wise fore- sight to he ready to supply at atuy tine :any increased €lemaand for books, whether it come from transient caausa;s Or from the rcgultar growth of population, or, better still, from a growing knowledge of the Library itself. I.Ii3raARY SE;tVJCE, We have been very busy at the Library during the year. Yet we have been obliged to let many things go unattended to for l want of time or for want of assistance. While the: public card catalogue was being prepared the people bore withOut complaint many f Blares its attention. Now we have two less assistants. This means two less aattenda uts passible to be called on in any LMRAIITANT'S REPORT. 11 press of demands for books or information, as, for instance, on Saturdays. A laarl;e nua-lber of books have been covered the past year ; a large number now need covering. N e deed the Constant l?reseaace of an attendant in the lower reading roorn. This during the winter months is an abwlute necessity. With an attc ridatnt to take the place of Miss Wise, who received a more advantageous antaageous oflcr from the Newton Library, and who 10, uow there employed in catalaguillg itnd ill ntiicr- work, we should be .able to give much better service in the lower rc oin, furnish it with reference books and bound sets of periodicals, of which Nye have enough to unake at respectable beginning, and bring this room into line of order, quiet, and usefulness with the rest of the Library. Some people can not understand why more assistants are re- cluired in the library than are required at the desk. to fnd, charge, and deliver books. A lattc report of the Los Angeles public libraryr attempts to show why three or four assistants are required in a library for each one enaployed at the deslc. Books must be Prepared for circulation before they can be given Out. They need to be catalogued, located, and such records made of them that they can always be found when wanted, whether called for by title or ;author, or are needed for what they contain on certain subjects, or can certain branches of certain subjects of Which they treat. This wane requires tame and close and careful considerat- Gon. That most people underestimate the amount of time and, knowledge required to do the most important part of library work, is probably best shown by the fact that almost all new helpers, finding they can learn in as few days to get and charge hooks by our system, feel at the end of the first week at degree of self=satisfaction thatt years of studious service fail to Sustain. To catalogue as book with any degree of confidence, reguires not only as knowledge of the book, bia .same knowledge of the subjects of which it treats. I have written out a3 statement of the: prOcessiws through which each book passes from the time it is received until it goes into the h;inds of readers. The processes are the same in.all well regu- lated libraries, necessitated by the requi re trient s cif the hest lilarary administration. If this could be seen and appreciated by those i ;wham the library labors to 5ery e, ati(I from Whom it must derive its support, I must feel that their support would be more generous. From the time the Library started, in i86S, we have kept more lists of -all the hooks, arranged for difilerent purposes in diflirent order, than most people would decin necessary, but not more titan the experience of all these years has justified. Much of the Work has been done after library lzaurs. Iar future you will need more assistants than we laiave ever yet had. RECEPTION AND FREPARATION OF BOOKS VOR CIItCLTLATION. When a parcel of books is first rereived the titles, editions, and Prices are carcfully carrpa?-ed with the invoice, and each item is checked off if con-cct; or if imt, properrem arks Tire Iaoted. Then caach boob is carefliIly cflw iC1red with the slack of hooks on hand, to see that no needless chat}lie.ates mv- retained. Of Course if (.luplicaites are required each is nnanbered, or if unproved editions are purchased this is noted. Then the books themscIves are collated. That is, cac:h book is looked throng 1 to see that no Darts, plates, or 8igmaattires are inissing or in wrong places, or .that there ..11°c no other nzech ale a it Imperfections In the book. Tlie books are then eninp-eci i)2 lire Il accessions cat alv and each given its proper accession 9azembei% This ,ve place in reel ink oil the back of the title pane. In this catalogue tine enter; (a) the date c)f accession, (:!) the manic of the author, '(3) the title with sufficient fullness to idcantify the book, with (4) the number of the volume or volumes, and (5) the atumber of the edition, if not the first, (h) the nanie of the place where pub- lished, (7) the 111MIC of the puhlislrer a111c1 (3) tile. clxtas Of pUbli- cation, (9) the nurnbcr of volaaanes or copies purchased, (io) the size of the book, (i i) the number and character of the illustra- tions, (> a) the hind of Iaancltng, (13) the name of the booksellers of whom purchased, (14) the price -111cl (15) the sralzrce frown whence the funds Nverc Jeri%,ed. If the hook is given, in place of the last three items (1 G) the name or the a ivcr is recorded. All these facts are noted of each book in a single line running across the two opposite pages of a laartc pool: prepared for the purpose. This record nev,Lr needs to be chain-ed for any book, although the location of the book may be changed several tinier. The location (i 7) of each 1)eu01t, wvlleal determined, is noted also in pencil in a column near the exciter of the book; in pencil, so that it can easily be changed ; near the center of the open hook, sea that the pencil marks may not be oasily erased. When the hook is thus " accessioned " it is ready to have its leaves --?et, to be stamped, to receive the libowiy filales, to be i covered, if likely to pass rnpidly from house to house in circula- tion, or, if more likely to he Used in the library or by people used to the careful lratndliarg of books, it receives (without being , covered with paper) uPran the hack and sides labels showing the library's ownership ;wd its location number. The book is now ready to be cralalagued, as we say. Cards are written one, the author carol, starting with the naan,es of the salathar if known, with all parts of his nanie in full if they can be fauml, followweJ by the title and imprint. Spice is reserved on each card oil the left for the location number and the name of the class and sub-chess to which the boos: belongs. The other card, called the szr.ljecl rarel, starts on the tapper line oral the left %N ith the name of the sub jest, Two lines are always reserved for classification. Then follow author say d title, much as on the other card. Sometimes the title hardly every Dints at the subject of the book; so, as such books will certainly be called for by title, a l<ifle card is -written, in which the first Sword of title (not an article) leads on the first line. Some hooks are {written by several aaut:hars or on sevend sulijects. Then the book must be analyzed, as it is called ; that is, ea carol written for each author and for each subject or brandy of sAject. As many as fifty cards have been written 1br as shigl; volume. The cataloguers. must have frequent reference to hibliographical dictionaries, or other bibliographical works, to make the cattalolrije Ball and accu- rate. It can never be certain how much time the catalo wing of- aa, book may take, whether a fex s-ninutes or as whole day°. The work to be of any value must be complete. Aids Ill this work, however, are being rapidly multiplied, :and already exist in such numbers that erne: alruost wonders how in the early days even of our library the work could have been done at all. Sonic authors, even those that have mucli to spay that is worth our learning, exer— cise such ingeirality in inventing misleading and catchy titles, hide 14 LIBRAMAN'S REPORT. their real names tinder such meaningless psetirlollyrns as to sorely try the skill anti patience of the ha ruble catalogner who is look- ing for the simple truth. Thus, much time is uselcssiy lost. '4'4'hen the set of cards is written for the public cattatlogtae in which tliev are to be rarrailmmd, like the words of at dictionary, its one contintious E 1phabet, including both authors, titles, and sub- jects, and duplicates are m.-ide for the Z+ office catalogue," with such difibrences as it is not necessary to describe here, the look is reach• to receive its locaeron. Witt, us this is roughly by subject. somewhere near its kindre€1 books, where its size will agree with the shelves, as curs acre unfortunattely fixed. The book is than numbered on the hack and inside the cover, on the book plate, with the number of the shelf, followed with the next consecutive number on the shelf to the one last located. This numliL-r these fixer] is the number,— the aaame, as it were,—by which the book is ewer after known in the Library, unless it is trnftarttrutrtelY found necessary to change: it to some new location. Tile late William F. Poole (about the time we started our Library in 1368), then in charge of the Boston Athenmurn, claimed that it made little difference where n book was located on the shelvcs, provided it found its proper plice among the classes of the catalogue. Then, people did not expect to go to the shelves, and, if a boob were called for by its locate"cart rtirrzthcr, any Dirty car girl could, in a few hours, lcalrn to fines it, even ire the largest library. If wve hard prober raar v able shelves throughout the Library we might, with advantage, however, change our:- fixed locations to more rational and movable relative locations. This we hope to do where by private �ir,riAion cr municipal appropriation we lr.twve the book room supplied with new shelving to replace thl t moved over from that ald lilar'atry. When the ]tool} has been located and nd the cards properly marked to indicate this location, and this entered in the shelf last, it is ready to lie 67iftetarred. Or, thin slips might have been written for the bulletin when the book was caataalogned. The boob is then placed on the: ledge netts° the desk and exhibited where all readers 1111LY for a fewv days examine it, and, if desirous of an early perUSA, may leave their names in order for it. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT. 15 The list of tT,ew hooks, theoretically published each week in tl,e local paeper, is then to be prepared, or, if not to be then pub- lished, prepared for the bUlle=tin board. On tlae publication of the list containing it, the book is retadv to be leaetaached ; that is, delivered to the first one who has left an order for it, or to the first one -who calls for it. In following this process, which is essentially the same for each book, and is, the course pursued in all the best of the large; libraries, we have vu-itten oul at least jfVe ca'islincl catexln,m s, the acccisi rn," the 14 title," th,e 11 author," the 11 subject," the ci ghelf," the " bulletin," to Sty nothing of the "iatudytic," or printer's " yearly tnianuscript catalogue.

If the Io;.crra will authorize the fii-i alin , we will prepare spay a list of all Our " fiction and children's breaks." Perhaps it would be better to begin with a list of " History, biography, travels, and geography." This subject is properly presented here, it seems to me, for the simple, practical question is, would the public find such lists of Sufficient use to themselves to justify- printing thetas. b'rom tray faint: of view, Mid in the light of the experience of otlier libraries, it seems to me foolish not to do it. The unwisdom is of the kind practised by the trader who fills his stare with choice goods, but takes no pains to tell WOUld-be customers that he has something worth -while For thein to buy. If this is to be clone, or if other lists are to be printed, a special appropriation should be madc for the Purpose. The donations to the library this year have been constant and of value. The list of donors is given in Appendix 1I., with the mzumF)c:r Of hooks and pamphlets given by cash.

Some iimmediate relief from the crowded condition of some of our alcoves inight be obtained by finishing off it store-room With shelves in the btaseinerit, beyond the Trustees' rvoni.

This room cotilil well be preparrcd in the hasement of the new wing, whi€li I sl�<A;e of in mar last report as being desirable for a Trustees' room and art roam and historical room. Now, the town has. seen lit to adopt the Park act, it will probably desire to extent] the park to Cross street. If' it COUld have clone this in Season to accept Mr. Samuel Waalkur's oflcr of his lot for the pur- pose. the I.ibraaiy would have had a clear field on that side for a comparative sni all expenditure. Although this would beautify the surroundings of the Library, and so be desirable for the town, I should look for as moderate extension of the building in that direction as the most pressing need of the library. The room on the main floor I would have lark: enough for a board of trustees twice as large :as it is at present. It should holm in wall cases all Oarr more rare.and expensive books, all our most richly-illustrated works. It miglit contain our colleetio,t of local history, might be the meeting place of our town Historical Society. It cmild be node most useful to the library, :and yet spared one evening a nionth to the special use of a society that would do so much to feaster an interest in and encourage as knowledge of the best in our town history. The Nving should contain a vault or safe for the prtlSfrrir'4 6011 Of Vaaltl.al)le (10craa11er1ts. The architects approve of such an extension of the building. It worald improve the appearance of that side toward the town, aLnd would be of ,great convenience, as I have shown, to the library itself. How easy it would be for some wealthy man or woman to leave five or tern thousand dollars for such as purpose! How glad we should all be to ever associate with such a room his blessed memory. A LOSS TO THE LIAR AsRY. Shall I seem to go beyond my duty if I remind the town of what I sa well knew, the great interest of our late trus- tee, Rev. Father Stack. He would like to have seers the build- 1$ L1Br,AR1A_1�'S REPORT. ing larger and the fullest provision for the readin; of all the peo- ple. He probably had his doubts of the useftlllless of certain books, sometimes expressed his mind as doubtful of the use of some controversial works, but had fine faith in the spread of sound knowledge, and (lid probably more than .any other to see a. that his people, especiallly the young, should gut the full benefit of the library. PRIN'PI,!] SI3Pi'LE;1fI?=tif'TS. The carol catalogue is kept finished up to date. Its great con- venience is confessed by these who have learned to use it. The increasing number of our printed supplements—now thirteen— has made them as part of a full printed catalogue almost useless, because of the time regUired to look through so niany aipliaabets. Teti is about tlac li:nit of hulnatn patience. WC passed bloat limit some three years since. Each new supplement, it is true, is use- ful for a white in showing the people of the town the last year's accessions, for the circulation is each ycalr greatest during the month ilnnictliately after the distribution of reports with the sup- plementary catalogue. And this would suggest the value of a half-yearly list for like distribution as well. PIP Do ALL USE THE LIBItARY? One Of OUI mast respected citizens tasked at the last tdwn meeting, 1' Wbo reads a book from our Public Library?" The orator himself would be delighted to know how large a propor- tion Of the families Of the tOWR take out books. It might be .z wise thing to make al canvas of the town sand find by enquiry from house to house just how many and which falmilies in town take out books. Many :are reached through their children. As a matter of record, as we have shown, over 4 ,ov0 volurnes, be- Pill, sides malty used in the reacting-rooms and not counted, were used the last gear. This is more than fiv€: volumes on the average to every 117ain, WOrn all 'alld child In tDwn. This number is low corn- pared with what it might be, but it is high compared with the greatest numbers of the most Favored communities. This pro- portion N%rould ,give the Boston library al circaal.ation much larger than it has, a circulation of two and al half million volumes. It. Nvould give Oaalnbridge a circulation of over 400,000, Newton nearly i5o,noo, Waltham as circaalati0ti of 120,000. If we had free deliveries, as I have recommended in former reports, :at 119t. Auburn and :at Bennis, our books would be used in still larger numbers, and those who help support the library „Vcauld enjoy more nearly equal aadvantaages. The fact is that our c irciii-ation has always been large per cajiifa compared with the most favored cities or towns. But we must now wake tip and increase our facilities, or many of therm will leave us behind. They are incremsing more rapidly than we. But numbers alone signify little. The library, although doing far less than it is capable of doiu , has a considerable number of students. Its roams are used as places of study. Its best weak I feel is to fUrlaaSh s€aurces of information,—is its work as a reference library. CONCLUSION. Thanking you and the town for the courtesy and co-operation long continued in a work in which I yield to tome in honesty of purpose or strength of desire to do the best possible for the town, ---•ca work in „bich, doubtless, I have made many mistakes during the past twenty-seven years,---I rmiy say that I am ccnscious that whatever I do more must be clone soon, and without your con- tinued efficient help „gill not ba crane at all. It must not be wor$- dered at if I feel impatient to see desired iaaaprovements begun. s ni , half of those who have ever served can the various boards of Trustees, nearly .ill of those with whom I began the work of the library, in 1867 and t86S;* have closed their labors here and have gone to their rcAvard. Alai• the spirit which aiiiaaaated the early boards of Trustees and their supporters ever preserve and minister to the growth of the library. We should not be content to merely supply the meats of continued life to the iaasti- tution which they created. We Should l)ut na;w 1KC into its administration, should enlarge and encrggize its collection of printed material, and see to it that the library is made effective with a larger proportion of the poople. All of w1iich is respectfully? submitted. SOLON F. WHIT'AII'rY, Lalrcarian.
