REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
The Selectmen of Weymouth for the year ending March 14, 1859, submit the following Report :-
During the year, the widenings of Summer street, Smith street, and Middle street, near John Tirrell's and Thomas Humphrey's, have been worked. A covered drain near the Baptist meeting- house, has been constructed, an account of the expenses of which will be found in the schedule.
The highway bills have been mostly returned ; in some instan- ces, some of the taxes have neither been worked or paid, and the question now is, what shall be done with them ;- whether the old surveyors shall go on and complete the collection and work, or the delinquents be returned to the assessors, to be included in the taxes for the ensuing year ?
An opportunity having been presented to purchase a strip of land on Pine street, which land was much needed by the town for the purpose of widening said street, and for the gravel on said land, and there not being time to call a meeting for the purpose of submitting it to the town, we decided to buy the same for the sum of fifty dollars, and take a deed, and have done the same.
All other branches of town service, have been of an ordinary character, and are fully set forth in the Schedule of Expenses. Our liquor agency has been under the sole management of Amos S. White, with a net profit of fifty-three dollars and ninty-one cents, ($53.91) to the town.

REPORT
OF THE
OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The Overseers of the Poor of the Town of Weymouth, for the past year, respectfully ask leave to make the following Report, the account of which includes the time from the first day of February, 1858, to the first day of February, 1859.
On entering upon the duties incumbent upon them they found it necessary to make a change in the Alms-house keeper ; after giving due notice and receiving many proposals, contracted with George W. Pratt to take charge of that department, for three hundred dollars for one year.
The number of paupers in the Alms-house at the commencement of the year was twenty-seven ; the whole number during the year thirty- one ; the average was about twenty-four and three-fourths, and the number at the end of the year twenty-three.
The amount charged by the overseers for their services, postage, traveling expenses, and cash paid, has been one hundred and thirty dollars and twenty cents.
Having deemed it necessary, we have caused an addition to be built on the shed, at a cost of about seventy-five dollars, and have made additions and improvements in the house to the amount of about one hundred dollars.
The whole sum drawn from the treasury for the support of the poor in the house, including the salary of the Superintendent, has been nine- teen hundred and forty-three dollars and sixty-four cents. We have allowed the town for the rent of the farm, three hundred dollars, and have reduced the inventory about one hundred and twenty-five dollars, making the whole cost of the poor in the house, twenty-one hundred and twenty-four dollars and forty-eight cents.
The expense of each pauper per week has been one dollar sixty-five cents and about two mills.

The expense for support of the poor out of the house, amounts to thirteen hundred and eighty-nine dollars and ninety-five cents, of which three hundred and thirty-one dollars was for old bills previous to last year, the total for the year being thirty-three hundred and thirty- three dollars and sixty-three cents.
