Upon entering we observe that the stairways are on opposite sides of the building and are wide and well lighted. The arched triple windows on these stairways contribute to the architectural features of the building. The corridors connecting these stair-

240
ways are light and commodions with a high sheathed dado, which is also continued up the stairway.
There are four class-rooms, two on each floor, each 25 feet by 28 feet, arranged to accommodate from 42 to 50 pupils, accord- ing to the size of desks used. Each class-room is lighted by six large windows, kept well up near the ceiling, and the desks are arranged so that the light will come from the rear and left-hand side. There is a bookcase and teacher's closet in each class- room. The doors from the class-rooms to the corridors have a large glass panel for observation of the teacher in charge without interruption. Slate blackboards are provided on two walls of the class-rooms where there are no windows so that the pupils will not face the light.
The clothes of the children are hung in rooms adjacent to the class-rooms and corridors but separated from them. These wardrobes have outside light and are ventilated to keep the odor of wet clothes out of the building and to give the school an or- derly appearanee. The clothes are hung from hooks on poles supported by brackets from the walls so that the clothes hang away from the walls to insure proper ventilation. Umbrella clips and rubber racks are provided below the clothes poles. Two doors are provided from each class-room to the wardrobe, so that the scholars can file through in an orderly manner, and a door is provided from the corridor to each wardrobe to be used only in wet weather to prevent the class-rooms being tracked with mud, and being kept locked at other times these wardrobes are entirely under the control of the teacher.
A teachers' room 10 feet by 14 feet is planned on the second floor with adjacent toilet with outside light, and off of this teach- ers' room is a teacher's closet and a supply room with ladder to unfinished attic, keeping the attic under the control of the teachers.
On the first floor is a book-storage room and two storage closets.
A sanitary jet drinking fountain is furnished in the corridor of each floor from which the children drink without cups, preventing the spread of contagious sickness.
An exit through the rooms is provided, so that if one stairway should be on fire, there would be an exit through the building to
241
the other room and stairway. The fire precautions also include a standpipe for fire hose on each floor.
The wood finish of the first and second floors is of North Carolina pine, stained and varnished, and the floors are of maple. The plaster walls of the corridors will be painted a light shade, while those of the class rooms and wardrobes will be painted in shades of green and red, to make the light good for the eyes and lend a cheerfulness to the rooms.
In the basement the girls' and boys' portion is shut off by the boiler room and the manual training or sloyd room. The entire basement will have a concrete floor. The manual training room, 17 feet by 22 feet, is well lighted by five windows and is a fin- ished room, with maple floor and plastered walls and ceilings ; a blackboard is furnished for demonstration, and the desks are arranged to get the best light on the work. The boiler room connects with the coal pocket and with the building through the boys' play room, and a direct entrance outside is provided, by which ashes may be removed without going through the building and to throw direct light on the boilers.
The girls' and boys' play rooms connect directly with the play yards by four inside steps and a bicycle run. Directly off of these play rooms and the separate runs of stairs are the toilet rooms. The plumbing is both modern and sanitary, and the toilet rooms are ventilated by the most approved system through the fixtures to vent ducts. The boys are provided with two closets and a sanitary slate urinal, and the girls with five closets ; the closets being modern water closets operated by pull and chain. Sinks are provided in each play room and boiler room.
The building is thoroughly heated and ventilated by the gravity system. A large tubular boiler is placed in the basement, and is equipped with safety devices, as required for school buildings. In the class rooms each scholar is supplied with 30 cubic feet of fresh warmed air per minute, from fresh air rooms in basement supplied with radiators, and the temperature controlled from the class rooms. The corridors and all rooms are provided with steam pipes and radiators, to enable the system to be run economically. The toilets and wardrobes are ventilated by ducts, ventilation being perfected by steam coils placed within these ducts and the air taken from adjacent rooms.
242
Fire gongs are placed in the corridor of each floor and in the play rooms, and a large gong on the outside of the building.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF LIVE STOCK.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth. GENTLEMEN :
During the year ending January 1st, 1907, I have carefully visited all places where cattle are kept and have found some cases of tuberculosis and some of glanders in horses and a few dogs afflicted with rabies.
I would like to see the stables and buildings where cattle are kept in a more sanitary condition as I find some of them unfit for the making of milk in their present condition.

About the same amount of work has devolved upon the department during the year that it was called upon to perform in 1905. Crime in its different forms has not varied much during the two years. The total number of arrests for the year was practically }the same as that of last year, 274; and this year, 280.
Among the most important cases investigated was that of Charles A. Simmington, with several aliases. He had been at large since 1902, and was located in Portsmouth, N. H. He pleaded guilty to seven cases of breaking and entering in the night time and larceny, and was sentenced to not more than 12 nor less than 10 years in State Prison. He has a long criminal
249
record and was a partner of George Adams, who was sentenced to not more than 15 nor less than 14 years in State Prison, for breaking and entering in the night time and larceny in Weymouth in 1902. They had been breaking and entering in Rockland, Abington, Swampscott and Peabody. They are known as leather thieves.
William A. Fowler, who has been breaking and entering stores in this town since 1885. He pleaded guilty to being an habitual criminal and was sentenced to 20 years in State Prison. He is what police call a door-mat thief.
Carmine Conforti assault with intent to kill his wife. He was located in Newark, N. J .; requisition papers were obtained and he was arrested and admitted to bail which he forfeited. He was afterward arrested in New Haven, Conn., and is now in Dedham jail awaiting trial.
John A. McDonald, who had been doing an unlawful liquor business from a launch near the bridge and afterward in New Downer's Landing, was convicted and is now serving time in Ded- ham jail. As he was out on parole for being an habitual criminal, will have to go back to State Prison for a term of 12 years after the expiration of his present term.
Last year there were several complaints about illegal liquor business in a certain locality. We have convicted them and they have paid large fines, and we hold cases over them so that if they attempt to do any more business of that nature, can be sentenced to imprisonment.
During the year there have been calls for a regular man in Ward 1. I would recommend a regular man for that Ward. There ought to be better communication between the men, and would recommend that the telephone be put into the houses of the regular men.
Those serious offences that occur in almost every thickly settled community, seldom occur in Weymouth, and such condition is all the more remarkable when we consider the mixed population of the town.
You can hear people condemn acts of the police, but few will refer to the good work done by them. The men are trying to do their duty in a conscientious manner, and it should be the duty of all to co-operate with them, and if they have any information
250
give it to the officers and not wait till town meeting, then tell what they know.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Boston police, the Quincy police, your Honorable Board, the Town Counsel and any others who have in any way assisted the department.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS FITZGERALD, Chief of Police.
OLD HOME WEEK.
The Weymouth Historical Society was intrusted in 1906, as in 1903, with the responsibility of arranging, for the town, an ap- propriate observance of " Old Home Week."
Eight of the gentlemen members of the Society, viz. :- Walter L. Bates, Louis A. Cook, Francis H. Cowing, Martin E. Hawes, John J. Loud, Herbert A. Newton, Henry B. Reed and Albert P. Worthen were made a committee to plan and carry out the cele- bration. They were given full powers.
It is unnecessary to enter here into the details of an occasion so recent and so fresh in the memory of all. It will suffice to say that Saturday, August 4, was selected as the day when the largest number of our citizens would be at leisure.
Into that day were crowded the dedication of a monument marking the site of the first church edifice erected in South Wey- mouth ; a parade of great length giving representations of the early history of the town, its aboriginal inhabitants, its Revolu- tionary Spirit, its ancient musicians, its trades and industries, its automobiles and its fire department, together with floats and dec- orated vehicles which added beauty to the procession. Athletic contests, band concerts and a ball game followed.
The use of the Fair Grounds was generously given, and the parade showed at its best as it wound around the race course.
Not less appropriate was the reunion of the High School Alumni on August 2. while the services in the Baptist, Methodist and Union Churches and the Union Church of Weymouth and Brain- tree had many delightful features.
It is pleasant to be able to add that the appropriation was not exceeded.
For the Committee, JOHN J. LOUD, Chairman. M. E. HAWES, Clerk.
REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE ON NEW SCHOOL BUILDING IN WARD II.
To the Citizens of Weymouth :
Your Committee hereby submits a partial report of the work upon the new school building in Ward II.
At a special town meeting held May 19, 1906 it was voted that the sum of $40,000 be raised and appropriated to erect and furnish an eight room brick school building in Ward II. The following Committee was appointed to carry said vote into effect : Joseph A. Cushing, William C. Earle, Nelson W. Gardner, Wil- liam Tobin, Douglass M. Easton, Henry B. Reed, Abner A. Badger. The Committee organized by the choice of Joseph A. Cushing, chairman and Abner A. Badger, secretary. After exam- ining plans submitted by fifteen architects and visiting several school buildings the Committee decided to accept the plans sub- mitted by Mr. Bradford Hamilton of Boston. The main building, colonial in style, is 96 feet long and 41 feet wide with a rear projection 29 by 60 feet. It is two stories with basement and the outside walls are to be built of buff brick with Indiana limestone window sills, lintels, belt and trimmings ; there are to be copper gutters, conductors and crestings and a slate roof. The basement is to be 10 feet high with 4 feet out of ground at the front and 6 feet at the rear.
The first floor, with three entrances through a corridor 12 feet wide, contains four class rooms 26ft. x 29ft., each accommodating forty-two pupils, a principal's room and a supply closet. The
four school rooms like the first second floor contains
and
a
teacher's
room.
The wardrobes
are
in-
closed with a diamond
mesh grille work seven feet high. The heating apparatus is to be a low pressure gravity system ; the boilers are to be horizontal, tubular, and encased in brick work. The class rooms are to be heated by indirect stacks in the base- ment with coils of 14in. pipes placed around the outside walls of each room. The contract for the building has been awarded to J. M. & C. J. Buckley of Worcester, and the contract for heating to Walter B. Ross of Boston, they being the lowest bidders. The

New School Building in Ward 2.
254
excavation for the basement and a substantial wall built of Quincy block stone have been finished. A portion of the material needed for the construction of the building is already on the spot and in a few weeks the work will be going rapidly forward.
The aggregate amount of the contracts, as it appears now, will be fully met by the appropriation and leave about $2,000 for grad- ing purposes.
The building when completed will be a substantial up-to-date edifice and none too large for the needs of this enterprising part of the town.
The census for the past two years in Ward II. shows an increase of about 70 children between the ages of 5 and 15 years, while the record of the town clerk shows there has been fifty more births this year than in any previous year; the number being 286 of which over 100 are in Ward II. The outlook indicates a steady increase of school children in this Ward for several years and those citizens, who thoughtlessly say that there is no need of ad- ditional school accommodations, must see their error.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSONERS.
FOR THE YEAR ENDING DEC. 31, 1906.
The Board of Park Commissioners has the honor to submit herewith its annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1906.
The area of land devoted to park purposes remains as last re- ported, and it has been the aim of the Board to maintain an average standard of care which shall make the resorts neat and attractive, without being too nice to use.
Webb Park has been gradually brought up from a neglected pasture, overgrown with bushes and briars, and containing the dumpage of the surrounding neighborhood to a condition which satisfies, partially at least, the æsthetic taste, and makes a visit to its grounds one of pleasure and profit. Following is a state- ment of receipts and expenditures at Webb Park :

WATER COMMISSIONERS' REPORT,
JANUARY 1, 1907.
The Board organized March 12, 1906, by the choice of Douglas M. Easton, Chairman ; Frank H. Torrey, Clerk ; John H. Stet- son, Treasurer.
Charles B. Cushing was chosen Register and Collector.
I. M. Low continues as Superintendent at a salary of $750.
Miss C. E. Briggs continues clerk at the office at a salary of $450.
C. B. Cushing continues as Accountant at a salary of $200.
C. B. Klingemann continues as Engineer at the Pumping Station.
FINANCE.
We are pleased to report that our efforts during the past two years have shown good results as will be seen by a perusal of the collector's report, and a continuance in this line will soon show a clean slate at the end of the year.
REBATES.
We desire to again call the attention of every water tax payer to the importance of reporting to the office on receipt of his bill, all errors or omissions. Such attention will do away with any future discussion regarding same. We have less to complain of this year than formerly, nevertheless a still greater gain may be made if only a little more care is exercised.
