The adjourned annual meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Weymouth was held at the Town Hall, on Monday, March 16, 1896, the meeting being called to order at 9 o'clock A. M. by the Moderator, Louis A. Cook, Esq.
Art. 2. Voted, That a committee of one from each ward be appointed by the Moderator, to nominate a list of officers not required to be elected by ballot.
The Moderator appointed the following :-
James Humphrey, E. B. Nevin, John R. Bouldry, Michael Sheehy, E. T. Jordan.
Art. 3. Voted, To accept the report of the several boards of town officers, as printed.
The Selectmen also made the following report :-
The report of the Selectmen upon the removal of the engine house in Ward 2 having been omitted inadvertently from the printed report, we hereby submit the following :-
At a special town meeting held July 13, it was voted that the Selectmen be authorized to sell and convey to M. C. Dizer & Co. the property on Broad street in Ward 2, used for engine house and lock-up, upon such terms and conditions as will be for the best interest of the town.
The above vote being unanimous, this action of the town was considered by the Selectmen as equivalent to an instruction, and M. C. Dizer & Co. were notified that this board would accept in exchange for the lot owned by the town, a lot satisfactorily located, upon which they should place the engine house and lock-up, and put them in a condition satisfactory to us.
As might be expected, considerable difficulty was encountered . in fixing upon a lot, as opposition developed against placing the buildings in the immediate vicinity of the churches, as was at first contemplated. This feeling became so strong that it was not deemed just or courteous to disregard it, and a lot was at length accepted by us and purchased by M. C. Dizer & Co. on the south- erly side of Broad street to the westward of the car house of the Quincy and Boston Street Railway Company.
The engine house was removed to this lot, and a basement was constructed beneath it containing the lock-up.
201
Upon the completion of the work it was inspected by the Select- men and M. C. Dizer & Co. were notified of our acceptance of the building, and the change of titles was accordingly effected.
Voted, To lay the report on the table.
Voted, That a committee of one from each ward be appointed by the Moderator to investigate the subject matter; also the situ- ation in relation to the Fire Department in Ward 2 and to report at a future meeting.
The Moderator appointed the following on the above commit- tee :-
N. D. Canterbury,-A. P. Worthen, Almon B. Raymond, Geo. L. Wentworth, Prescott S. Torrey.
The committee appointed at the last annual meeting of the town, to investigate the subject of keeping two teams at the Alms House, reported that soon after they were appointed the Overseers of the Poor sold one of the teams, therefore they had no report to make.
Voted, That the Selectmen be authorized to sell any wood land belonging to the town, which in their judgment is not needed, and the town treasurer is authorized to convey the same.
Voted, To accept the following supplementary report of the Selectmen of expenditures from Jan. 1 to March 2, 1896 :
