WEYMOUTH, Jan. 25, 1893.
The Committee appointed at the last annual meeting to sup- press the illegal sale of intoxicating liquors, held its first meeting March 23, at the residence of W. J. Dunbar, and organized by the choice of H. W. Sears, chairman, and W. J. Dunbar, secretary.
Applications were received from several gentlemen for the position as liquor officer. After a full consideration of the several parties, it was decided, by a unanimous vote of the Committee, to procure the services of Andrew J. Garey and Geo. W. Fay at a salary of $1,900 and court fees for both officers. They were to pay all other expenses that might occur during the year out of their salary. The officers entered at once upon their work. After a month of active, earnest work, on the evening of April 27, as Capt. Garey was passing up the avenue which leads to his resi-
16 50
As: B. Pratt

dence, he came upon four men. who apparently had lost some- thing, and were searching upon the ground. As he came up to them one of them said familiarly, " Captain, have yon a match ?" He immediately handed them one, and as he stooped to look upon the ground was struck a terrible blow just under the nose, splitting his teeth and lips and injuring his jaw, from the effects of which he has not as yet fully recovered. Although the parties have not as yet been brought to suffer, a close watch is kept in certain direc. tions, and we doubt not they will be brought to the punishment which they so justly deserve.
This assault laid Captain Garey aside from active service for two months. Since that time the business has been kept very closely confined, and the Committee frel satisfied at this time that there is not a place in town where liquors are sold only by stealth ; and that this law is as well enforced at present as any of the criminal laws. According to its nature, and while this matter is so close in hand, it does seem to us that the town cannot afford to change from its present course, but taking advantage of the ground already gained, pursue the same course another year.
The Committee have held several meetings during the year. On Sept. 26 Mr. H. W. Sears resigned as one of the Committee. A meeting was held Oct. 7, at Union hall, South Weymouth, and Oscar Madan was chosen chairman. The Committee will take this opportunity to thank the officers for the faithful manner in which they have performed their duty, and also all others who have assisted them in carrying out the vote of this town to such a suc- cess as it appears to them at the present time.
Respectfully submitted,
OSCAR MADAN, JASON WILBUR, B. F. RICHARDS, W. J. DUNBAR,
Committee.
