Book Description
Excerpt from Mayor's Address and Annual Report of the Receipts and Expenditures of the City of Dover, for the Year Ending December 31, 1865: Together With the Treasurer's Account and Other Reports and Papers Relating to the Affairs of the City; And a List of City Officers for the Year 1866 The condition of our streets and highways is in the main excellent, and, so far as I am informed, no unusual appro priation Will be required for their repair the coming year. At the September term, A. D. 1864, of the Supreme Judi cial Court for this County, the highway leading to Rollins ford, at the point where it is intersected by the Boston and Maine Railroad, was indicted for want of repairs and oh structions placed therein. There being no question but. That the Railroad was responsible for the grievance com plained of, the City Solicitor, immediately upon receiving legal notice of the finding Of the Indictment, notified the Counsel for the Railroad that they could, it they chose, de fend in the name of the City, which they have since done, and the State having prevailed in trial by jury the case is now before the whole Court for decision in March next, which it is hoped will fully settle and define the relative liabilities of the City and the Railroad toward the public at the point in the highway complained of, as well as secure the early construction Of such a bridge over our highway by the Railroad corporation, as the safety and convenience Of the travelling public requires.
