REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.


The Selectmen of the town of Weymouth submit herewith their annual report together with a statement in detail of the expenditures under the several appropriations for the year ending December 31, 1901.


HIGHWAYS.


The town at its last annual meeting, instructed its Select- men to employ a Superintendent of streets holding no other town office at a salary of $1,000.


In compliance with this vote George F. Maynard was appointed to this position, and the highway work was placed in his charge on April first.


His report of the work done under his supervision appears on page 162.


The town in making the appropriation for highway repairs, the removal of snow and for the maintenance of the Hing- ham and Quincy Bridges, did not follow its usual custom of making a division of the appropriation.


We have carried to the credit of the bridge account an amount sufficient to cover the assessments which have been made on the town for the maintenance of the bridges, and as will be seen in the detailed statement of expenditures, carried the other two accounts together under the balance of the appropriation.


There has been nothing in the working of highway repairs which seems to call for special comment.


The snow bills have continued to be light, and the balance of $2,709.47 should under any ordinary circumstances be sufficient for the remainder of the financial year.


6


HIGHWAY SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS.


Cliff and Centre Streets for which $200 each was appro- priated, have been completed within those amounts.


There now remain no streets which have been accepted by the town, which have not been worked, except a portion of King Avenue, and Norton Street, the layout of which has lapsed, no entry for construction having been made within the two years required by law.


QUINCY BRIDGE.


The County Commissioners have prepared plans for the construction of the new bridge over Fore River, and the same have been approved by the Harbor and Land Commis- sioners. It is now probable that the work will commence in the coming spring.


It is unlikely that any assessment will be made upon the town, which will need to be considered before the annual meeting of 1903.


FIRE DEPARTMENT.


This department has been unable to complete the year within the appropriation, it having become necessary to procure new hose to the amount of $1,000.00.


The expenditures have exceeded the appropriations by $462.13.


BOARD OF HEALTH.


Weymouth has for many years been remarkably fortunate in the smallness of the amount needed to be expended in the interest of the public health, and the small amounts thus required have been carried hitherto in the miscellaneous account.


As the amounts for the past year have reached into the hundreds, it has seemed to us wise to show this account by itself, and we report it under "no appropriations."


Of the $425.80 so reported, $313.42 have been paid for free vaccinations.


7


When it became apparent late in the fall that smallpox was prevailing extensively in Boston, and scattering cases were reported in several of the neighboring towns, the board invited the physicians of the town to meet them for the purpose of consulting upon measures which might be taken for the prevention of the spread of the disease in our town. This meeting was held on December third, and as one result, thereof free vaccination was offered to all who would avail themselves of the same. It was also practically agreed at this meeting,-the physicians unanimously favor- ing the plan, that should occasion require the establishment of a smallpox hospital, the Town-house should be used for that purpose. It became apparent also that the physicians of the town were unwilling to treat the disease and outside medical aid will need to be called in for attendance upon any case which may occur.


Under the offer of free vaccination five hundred and forty- nine have been vaccinated or re-vaccinated. We earnestly urge upon all who have not taken this precaution against one of the most dreaded diseases which afflict humanity, to do so at once.


POLICE.


For the purpose of maintaining its police protection, the town at the last annual meeting appropriated $1,000.00 less than for the preceding year. This action was taken in some quarters to mean that Weymouth was to be an open town, and preparations were soon in progress to make it so. We decided therefore to commence the year with the same police force as heretofore, which proved an effectual damper upon the open town movement.


As the income from fines has exceeded that of some years past, we have been enabled to maintain the same force through the year, and show an unexpended balance of $951.51, sufficient for the remainder of the year.


8


ELECTRIC LIGHTS.


By the action of the town, the street lighting was placed in the hands of a special committee, whose report appears on page 158.


As no appropriation was made until the special meeting in April, when the committee was appointed, and the appropriation of the preceding year being exhausted, the company was notified on March 18th that we ceased to be responsible for any bills for lighting after that date.


A bill was paid for this part of March, of $331.45, and the balance shown by the Light Committee's report and that shown by ours, differs by that amount less $2.66, balance March 1. The committee claim that the whole appropria- tion of $5,500 was placed at their disposal while we have charged all bills paid for lights to the appropriation.


BILLS PAYABLE.


There has been paid from money raised by taxation one note of $10,000 and provision is made in the same manner for the payment of one of $5,000 which becomes due Janu- ary 15, 1902.


The amount of notes and bonds outstanding against the town, not including four notes for $40,000 given for money borrowed in anticipation of taxes, is $130,000.


No note becomes due for the ensuing year, except that above mentioned, for which provision is made.


TOWN OFFICES.


In accordance with the vote of the town, we have leased for use as offices, the second floor of the East Weymouth Savings Bank Building at an annual rental of $600.00 paya- ble semi-annually, the lease to take effect January 1, 1902


GUIDE BOARDS.


The guide boards required by law to be maintained, are in fair condition : as usual, some are dilapidated and will need renewal the coming year.


9


METROPOLITAN PARKS.


The apportionment upon our town under the acts estab- lishing the Metropolitan Park system will probably have to be considered in the assessment of 1902. By the report of the Metropolitan Park Commissioners for the year 1901, the amount which Weymouth will be called upon to pay for 1900 is $2539.61. The amount for the year 1901 can hardly be less and may be larger. Both of these assessments, and possibly that of 1902 also, may be collected by the state the coming year.


The remark has frequently been made of late years that the figures of the Selectmen's and Overseers of the Poor's accounts do not correspond with those reported by the Treas- urer as orders cashed. It must be borne in mind that the Treasurer's accounts close on Dec. 31, while the books of the board are kept open for two weeks after the beginning of the new year, during which time many orders are drawn, which of course do not appear in the Treasurer's amount paid on orders until the following year.


The following figures are published to show that when car- ried out, the accounts agree.


Total amount of orders drawn, including Over- seers of the Poor $308,153 51


Amount of orders not cashed Dec. 31 10,009 84


Amount of 1901 orders cashed $298,143 67


Amount of 1900 orders cashed 7,816 00


$305,959 67


Amount of orders cashed as reported by Treas-


urer


$305,959 67


THE REIS CASE.


Upon the arrest of George J. Reis, for alleged irregulari- ties in his accounts with the town, we employed Hon. George L. Wentworth, who was then acting in the matter for the Water Commissioners, to represent the interests of


10


the town at hearings of the case in the East Norfolk District Court.


Subsequently a special town meeting was called, at which the auditors submitted a report which had previously been laid before the Selectmen, stating, in substance, that they had examined the accounts of Mr. Reis, so far as they had been able to do so in the limited time, and found evidence of a systematic raising of the pay rolls of the water depart- ment since 1899, and probably a deficiency in the money collected by Mr. Reis as water rates.


The hearings in the court at Quincy resulted in Mr. Reis being bound over to wait action of the grand jury ; by which he was indicted at the December sitting. To this indict- ment he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the state prison for a term of not less than for four years nor more than seven years.


SUITS AT LAW.


The actions of Henry Gardner vs. Weymouth, M. C. Dizer et als vs. Weymouth, Willie J. Loring and of Jennie I. Loring vs. Weymouth, referred to in our report of 1900, have not come to trial during the year and are still pending.


On Dec. 24, 1900, Mr. Charles M. Bryant of Quincy filed a petition in the Superior Court for this county, for an assessment of damages to land owned by him, abutting on Washington Street, near Whitman's Pond, in consequence of a changing of the grade of that street, but the case has not yet been heard.


By writs dated Sept. 19, 1901, two suits were brought against the town by Mary Alice DeLory of Rockland, as ad- ministratrix of the estate of Linda Agnes DeLory, late of Rockland. Both are actions of tort in the sum of $5000. One is brought to the use of herself as administratrix, and the other to the use of herself and Joseph U. DeLory, as they are next of kin of said deceased. Both are for the same cause of action.


11


The declarations allege that said deceased, while traveling upon Union Street, on the nineteenth day of September, 1900, sustained injuries from which she subsequently died, by reason of an alleged defect in said street. The actions have not yet been reached for trial.

AUDITORS' REPORT.


The Public Statutes of Mass. (Chap. 25, Sec. 79, Re- vised Edition 1902) relating to powers and duties of town auditors is as follows : -


The auditors of a town shall examine the books and accounts of all its officers and committees who are intrusted with the re- ceipt, custody or expenditure of money and all original bills and vouchers. on which money has been or may be paid from its treasury.


They shall have free access to such books, accounts, bills and vouchers as often as once a month for the purpose of exam- ination, and shall examine the same at least once in each year, and annually report in writing the result of their examination.


Complying with the above the auditors of the Town of Weymouth for the year 1901 report that they have examined the books and accounts of the


Treasurer of Town of Weymouth.


Treasurer Water Commissioners.


Treasurer Water Sinking Fund Commissioners.


Treasurer High School B'ld'g Sinking Fund Commis- sioners.


Treasurer Beals Park Fand.


and find proper vouchers filed for all payments made as certified.


SELECTMEN AND OVERSEERS OF POOR.


We have the pleasure of reporting the first examination, to our knowledge, of the books and accounts of the present Clerk of the Board of Selectmen and Overseers of Poor and would say that we find them neatly and accurately kept.


In balancing his books with those of the Town Treasurer we not only checked all warrants paid by the Treasurer with - his cash book, but also checked all paid warrants with the


13


stubs of the order books kept by the clerk, and as the fol- lowing summary shows, the accounts balance for the year ending Dec. 31, 1901.

10,009 84


$315,969 51 $315,969 51


SUPERINTENDENT OF WATER WORKS.


In our examination of the accounts of the acting super- intendent we find duplicate bills properly filed for all ex- penditures made by him, and that the original Pay Rolls- show each persons' receipt or mark for all amounts received by them.


A new Water Register as planned by us for keeping the accounts of the Water Rents was inaugurated with the October charges which we believe will prove a great im- provement over the old system.


CLERK OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.


We were unable, in the limited time we have had, to examine the books and accounts of the Clerk of Water Commissioners which are a duplicate (as he informed us) of the Treasurer's books.


TREASURER OF TUFTS LIBRARY.


We have examined the books and accounts of the Treasurer of Tufts Library and find proper vouchers for all payments.


14


TAX COLLECTOR.


In our examination of the Tax Collector's books we find that there are no unpaid taxes prior to the Levy of 1899. Owing to the amount of detail work found necessary we have been unable to balance them with the Town Treasurer's books as the following summary shows : -

We would recommend that the Table of Valuation, Rate of Taxation, Expenditures and Debt of the Town as appended be made a part of the regular report each year, as it shows a comprehensive summary of the town's finances ; also a table showing the valuation of all town property.


In onr examination of the securities of the Sinking Fund of the Water Department, we found Water Bonds of the Town of Weymouth amounting to $81,000.00, which although properly executed had never been marked or stamped not negotiable as required by law.


Chap. 27, Sec. 15-23, Revised Laws of Mass. 1902 reads as follows : -


"When securities for the redemption of which a Sinking Fund has been established, become a part of said Sinking Fund, the commissioners shall cause a notice to be stamped or written on the face thereof, that they are a part of such sinking fund and are not negotiable ; and all coupons thereof as they are paid shall be cancelled."


The importance of this law is very clear to us, and we have requested the Sinking Fund Commissioners to stamp or have written on the face of these Bonds that they are a part of the Sinking Fund established for their redemption and are not negotiable.


We wish to call special attention to a change in the methods of keeping the town accounts. There is need of a complete system of book-keeping by double entry, showing the financial transactions in detail in all departments of the town, and we recommend that some action be taken at the next annual meeting relating to the same.


This matter of a thorough system of book-keeping was recommended in a report of a special committee to investi- gate the town accounts in 1883, and we quote from and en- dorse the following recommendations :


First, That a rigid and thorough system of book-keeping by double entry be adopted.


18


Second, That the Selectmen be authorized to employ a practical book-keeper whose duty it shall be, under their direction, to keep the accounts of the town and to make up the annual schedules.
