We have also succeeded in breaking up and closing one dis- reputable house, and also driving from the town or imprisoning, some of the most disreputable idlers and vagabonds.
.In closing, we take this opportunity to thank your honorable board for its courtesy and assistance ; to Police Officers Peare, Fitzgerald and Allen, and to all others, whom we have always found willing and ready to assist us, we extend our thanks.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS.
Nearly all of importance that can be said about our Parks at present, is comprised in the statement that we are possessed of two tracts of land, (not counting as yet the one at Great Hill) one at Weymouth Landing, known as Webb Park, the other at North Weymouth, known as Beals Park, which are practically about as received from the donors, very little having been done compara- tively, in the way of permanent improvements to change their character ; they are, however, valuable as public reservations for future development, and as such are to be prized.
At Beals Park about Forty (40) Dollars have been expended, (the gift of Mr. Beals), in mowing and trimming, in the care of trees, walks and pond, for public water and hose, and for remov- ing several large decayed trees.
At Webb Park the sum of Seventeen (17.30) Dollars and Thirty Cents, the contribution of the Weymouth Improvement Association, was expended in mowing the underbrush and burning same, which gives the native trees and shrubs a better opportun- ity to grow and develop. In connection with this Park, the expenditure by the town of a sufficient sum of money to nicely finish up the grading of Summit street, which bounds the Park on the South, would indirectly help the appearance of this Park, and it would be very appropriate if the Park Commissioners had con- trol of the expenditure of such money, as they are supposed to know best how this work should be done. We would suggest that this be done the coming year, leaving the Park itself awhile longer in its present natural condition, which is quite as attractive as art could make it.
At the annual meeting in March, we reported to the town the taking of the tract of land, belonging to James L. Bates, on Great Hill, for a Public Park, which report was unanimously accepted.
.
179
Mr. Adams has since been notified of our action, and has under consideration the matter of erecting the proposed monument to commemorate the second settlement in Massachusetts. It is desirable that a good road should be laid out and constructed to the top of the Hill in order to make it more easily accessible, and we would recommend action by the town at the next annual meeting, looking to that end. The sum of Twenty (20) Dollars, less Two (2) Dollars for advertising, was realized from the sale of grass on this Park, and a row of trees was planted, bordering on Neck street, but owing to the dry season, did not live.
In conclusion, we would invite donations of money for Park improvements, from public spirited citizens who are able to give, or gifts of land for Park purposes.

Mr. George J. Ries as superintendent and Mr. George W. Sargent as engineer at the pumping station still continue in our service and have performed the duties of their office in a sat. isfactory manner, and have been engaged for the ensuing year.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the Honorable Board of Water Commissioners :-
GENTLEMEN,- The Superintendent respectfully presents his ninth annual report for the year ending December 31st, 1894.
POND.
At no time during the year has the pond been lower than three feet four inches below full pond and at present is within two inches of being full.
PUMPING STATION AND CONTENTS.
Both pumps seem to be in good working order. Excepting one new piston head which was broken by accident, no repairs of any account have been needed.
Two new tubes have been needed in the boilers and the blow- off pipe leading from the No. 2 boiler has been renewed.
The fire box to the No. 1 boiler has been newly bricked in front and on both sides. The boiler inspector's report states that our boilers are in good condition, both internally and externally.
STAND-PIPE.
During the month of October the water was drawn out of the Stand-pipe and it was thoroughly cleaned and painted inside. I would recommend that this be done every year in the future in- stead of every two years as in the past.
MAINS.
We have laid 14,314.5 feet of main distribution pipe in the streets and private ways as shown by the table following this
197
report. 135 feet of 2 inch and 461 feet of 1} inch main pipe in Lake street has been replaced with 6 inch cast iron pipe.
The total length of main pipe now in use is 55 miles and 1423.7 feet.
Nine leaks have occured in our mains during the year, six of which have been in the 13 inch main in Bridge street in front of Lovells Grove, due in part to electricity. I would recommend that this pipe be renewed in the spring and the location changed.
The other three were in lead joints, one on North street, one on Pine street and one on Private-way off Broad street.
From May 15th to Oct. 15th the high service was extended down Pleasant street so that it took in all south and east of Jack- son Square and Shawmut street, East Weymouth, and down Main street so that it included everything south of Broad and Wash- ington streets, Weymouth, which relieved our gravity service véry materially.
HYDRANTS.
Eleven new hydrants have been set this year making the total number now in use 352.
The hydrants have all been newly packed and oiled and are in good working order.
Two hydrants have been repaired. One at the Braintree line, Commercial street, leaked, necessitating a new pot, and one on Broad street, opposite James Casey's.
GATES AND GATE BOXES.
The gates are in fairly good order. The old wooden boxes are being replaced with iron as fast as needed ; fifteen have been are renewed this year.
SERVICE PIPES.
Three leaks have been repaired in the service pipes, one caused by a defect in brass fitting and two in lead joints.
