The work done by the town on Summit street has greatly improved the approaches in that direction, and we trust a suffi- cient sum may be appropriated this year to complete the work of widening and grading.


Beals Park has been kept in its usual condition during the past year. On account of the heavy rains during the early spring the pond was unusually full of water, consequently it could not be cleaned as it should, and the water became somewhat stagnant and caused some uneasiness among the people who reside near it, but by turning on town water to quite a large extent it finally became clear and apprehension of disease vanished. A dividing


234


fence has been erected between the park and the estate of the late Dr. Turner. This fence should be continued, thereby separating other and adjoining property from the park itself.

Office at East Weymouth, Mass.


WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.


The Board was organized March 18, 1903, by the choice of Frank H. Mason, Chairman, Gustavus M. Pratt, Clerk, and John H. Stetson, Treasurer.


Mr. I. M. Low has continued as Superintendent of the physical part of the Works, at a salary of $700.


Miss C. F. Briggs continues as Clerk in the office at a salary of $450.


Mr. C. B. Cushing continues as Accountant at a salary of $215.


Mr. G. M. Pratt continues as Register and Collector at a salary of $235.


Mr. C. B. Klingemann is Engineer of the Pumping Station at a salary of $1,000.


In April Mr. G. M. Pratt was employed to make a complete inspection of the fixtures in town and, as Register, to re-adjust charges. The result was very satisfactory to the Board, from a financial standpoint, also other benefits to the service. After this inspection it was thought best to have a new edition of the rules and regulations printed, with a few changes. One of these was sent to every water taker with the October bills, and we now think that no one can claim ignorance of them. A detailed report of this inspection will be found in the following pages.


After receiving many complaints the following was sent to the State Board of Health :


" We, the Water Commissioners of the Town of Weymouth, respectfully petition your Honorable Board to make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to prevent the polution and to secure the sanitary protection of the waters of Weymouth Great Pond, the source of water supply of the inhabitants of the Town of Weymouth."


The representatives of the State Board of Health, with a representative of the Board of Water Commissioners, visited the pond on August 26, 1903. On September 3, 1903, the State Board of Health submitted rules and regulations which were accepted by this Board September 17, 1903. . These rules and regulations were printed in the local papers, and are also on file in the office, and it is the intention to post them around the pond in the early spring, and to strictly enforce them.


While we believe that this will be a great help, we think the


238


only complete remedy will be the acquirement, by purchase or otherwise, of all the land around the pond, or at least all objec- tionable points.


Of the money expended for construction the past year about $1,500 was expended for the improvement of the service, such as connecting dead ends, replacing old services, etc. There is still need for much more in this direction, particularly the following :


Complete Front street, from rear of Stetson Shoe Company factory, to junction of Main street. This was started last fall.


Connect Tower avenue to Torrey street, also Lovell street to Neck street.


On October 1 we lost, by death, our Chairman, Mr. F. H. Mason. Our feelings are best expressed by the resolutions which follow this report.


Mr. F. H. Torrey was chosen Chairman pro tem., and is still acting in that position. As the work for the year was all laid out and well advanced, it was thought best not to put the town to the expense of a special election to fill the vacancy, that being the only way it could be filled under the Water Act.


An appropriation of $6,000 is asked, for the purpose of making such extensions as may be deemed necessary for the ensuing year, also an appropriation from the revenue of the works to be applied as follows :
