ARTICLE 2.
Upon motion duly made by Mr. Southworth the following resolution was
UNANIMOUSLY VOTED (8:05 P. M.) :
FELLOW CITIZENS OF THE 1958 BRAINTREE TOWN MEETING
In accordance with a unanimous vote passed at your first session on Monday evening, March 17th it is the happy privilege of your Resolutions Committee appointed by your moderator to bring to you an appreciation of the service rendered to the Town of Braintree by our beloved fellow townsman Thomas Everett Sears for almost half a century.
We rejoice that this appreciation can be read by Mr. Sears while he is still an active and devoted citizen in our midst. It will reveal to him the high and affectionate regard in which he is held by his fellow citizens.
Mr. Sears was born on July 15, 1882 in Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. His father, Captain Benjamin Warren Sears was a noted sea captain. Both he and his wife Louisa Thompson Cornish were born in Plymouth, Massachusetts. They were Mayflower descendents. Mr. Sears attended the public schools of Plymouth and was graduated from M. I. T. in the class of 1903. On October 27, 1958 Mr. and Mrs. Sears will cele- brate the 50th anniversary of their marriage. They came to Braintree in September, 1910 when their oldest child was only a few months old. Loyal to his Mayflower heritage Mr. Sears had a firm coviction in becoming a citizen of this town that he had a public duty to perform. He believed that every citizen when the call came was obligated to do his best to serve the public welfare. This he immediately began to do.
Following the total loss by fire of the Braintree Town Hall in 1911 he was appointed a member of a fire investigating committee appointed by the Town. His report clearly stressed the need for motor apparatus and permanent men in the department. Several years later the Town appointed another investigating committee and Mr. Sears was its chairman. This committee reported the immediate need for motor driven pumping apparatus and of increasing the personnel in the department and made a series of recommendations for the future of the department. Based on the suggestions made in this report the Town voted to purchase a motor pumping engine and Mr. Sears was made Chairman of the pur- chasing committee.
In 1927 Mr. Sears was elected a Commissioner of the Water Depart- ment Board under the chairmanship of his old friend George A. Walker. For 18 years these two men with Commissioner Joseph Landers worked together with constancy and devotion without thought of material compensation. When Mr. Walker died in 1945 Mr. Sears loyally carried on as Chairman of the Board. Your committee can give you only the barest summary of what the Water Board has done for the Town of Braintree. In 1947 the population of the Town was 14,000. Today it is approximately 28,000. In 1927 the Town consumed 1,000,000 gallons daily; today it consumes upwards of 2,000,000 gallons daily. In 1927 Great Pond, from which the principal water supply is derived had a capacity of 271,000,000 gallons and produced a daily average supply of 1,495,000 gallons. The old dam was replaced and a new dam was built
73
impounding a total of 600,000,000 gallons and increasing the daily yeild by approximately 600,000 gallons. In 1940 a new dam was built at the upper end of Great Pond which permitted 164 acres to be flooded with a capacity of 420,000,000 more gallons of water and producing a daily average supply of 3,000,000 gallons from the two ponds. Your committee would add that the material increase in the water supply was acquired at much less cost to the Town than the cost of Metropolitan water per million gallons in the development of their reservoirs in the western part of the state.
In addition to this marked increase in water supply there have been many other important improvements such as the construction of a Filtration Plant, which has a capacity of some 3,000,000 gallons, an addition to which is now in process of construction. As the Department approached the capacity of Great Pond they have been exploring for wells and over the years they made some 30 tests in which they have employed the famous seismologist Father Linehan of Weston College. In 1956 they located a well that is producing approximately 500,000 gallons daily. This water does not require filtering and will enable the Department to supply this well's capacity at a minimum of expense.
Every year the Department has carried a substantial sum in their budget for increasing mains in the streets. In addition it has built an elevated steel tank and pumping station in Braintree Highlands and in 1953 the Department replaced its old West Street standpipe with a new 1,000,000 gallon structure. Throughout the years the work of the Department has been carried on with vision, honesty and efficiency.
This appreciation would indeed by incomplete if it failed to stress what Mr. Sears has done as a public spirited Christian citizen. He has availed himself of every opportunity to help our Boy Scout organiza- tions and he has always been on the firing line in fund raising for the numerous campaigns in the Town. He is a loyal member of the First Congregational Church and in 1926 was elected Chairman of the Board of Trustees. By leadership and power of example he has been a tower of strength.
During the Braintree Tercenterary Mr. Sears was placed in charge of the publicity of the celebration; the job was superbly done. In World War Two when Braintree, England urgently called for help he led a campaign raising funds for the purchase of three rolling kitchens thereby winning the affection and gratitude of the mother country and establishing the closest ties of friendship with Braintree, England. In 1949 he assisted in preparing this Town for its participation in the 750th anniversity of Braintree, England. He took upon himself the responsibility of preparing an album similar to the album prepared by Braintree, England for our Tercentenary. The preparation of this album had to be accomplished in a limited time and involved an immense amount of work. He did not spare himself.
Thomas E. Sears is a citizen of Braintree who must not be forgotten. He is too noble an example of unselfish courageous and humane living. BE IT RESOLVED that this appreciation of his life be spread upon the records of this Braintree Town Meeting;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this apprecia- tion be sent to Mr. Sears and to his devoted wife, Helen Jane Sears and to their four children Thomas Everett, Jr., Richard Warren, Helen Jane and Victoria Sears Thaler who are faithfully following in the foot steps of their father in lives of useful service.
