Attest :
JOHN A. RAYMOND,
Town Clerk.
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.
Pursuant to the foregoing warrant, the annual meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Weymouth was held at Odd Fellows Opera House, East Weymouth, on Monday, March 12, 1906, the meeting being called to order at 7 P. M., and the warrant (ex- cepting the several articles) read by the Town Clerk.
Voted, On motion of Hon. Louis A. Cook, to dispense with the reading of the articles of the warrant.
Article 1. Hon. Louis A. Cook was elected Moderator by ballot, the check-list being used in the election, and the oath was administered to him by the Town Clerk.

The following were appointed on the committee : Francis M. Drown, Joseph D. Sargent, Preston W. Pratt, Isaac H. Walker, Charles H. Pratt.
Art. 3. Voted, On motion of John A. Connell, that a com- mittee of five, one from each Ward be appointed by the Chair, to retire and nominate a committee of fifteen, three from each Ward, to serve as Appropriation Committee for the ensuing year.

147
Voted, On motion of J. Clarence Howe that a Committee of five, which shall consist of one citizen from each ward, be ap- pointed by the Moderator to take into consideration the moving of the old Town Hall to some central situation, or the construction of a new building for the needs of the town and its citizens, and report at some future meeting.
The Committe to serve without pay. The following were ap- pointed on the above Committee : J. Clarence Howe, Arthur W. Bartlett, Edward W. Hunt, Peter W. French, George L. Barnes.
The Moderator appointed Edward W. Hunt and George H. Shaw as tellers, and the Town Clerk administered the oath to them.
Voted. On motion of P. J. Mclaughlin, that a Committee of five be appointed from the floor to retire to the ante-room and bring in a list of 40 men to act as a Committee to try and induce outside business to locate in this town, and members of this board missing two successive meetings without a reasonable excuse to be Ipsofacto suspended and the board to have the power to appoint successors in their place.
The following were appointed on the above Committee : P. J. McLaughlin, H. B. Reed, John B. Whelan, Preston Lewis, Theron L. Tirrell.
Voted, That the report of the Committee appointed at a Special Town Meeting held February 19th, 1906, to investigate all mat- ters under Articles 2, 3 and 4 of the warrant for a Special Town Meeting be accepted and adopted, and the same Committee con- tinue their investigations.
The following is the report :
The Committee appointed at a special Town Meeting held Feb- ruary 19, 1906, to investigate all matters under articles 2, 3 and 4 of the warrant for a special Town Meeting, met February 26th and organized by the choice of William W. Castle as Chairman and Nelson W. Gardner as Secretary.
We have held ten meetings, and have investigated as well as possible in the limited time which we had, some of the Town Officers, and beg leave to report as follows :
148
We find no evidence of dishonesty or malfeasance on the part of any of the Town Officers, although we find errors and mistakes and lack of proper attention on the part of the Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor in the past, by not having the history of and recording the reasons for asking aid, of each person applying to them for relief.
We find that they are now keeping an indexed report of all persons applying to them for aid, and if this report is well kept, together with a history of each person applying for aid, we think such errors and mistakes will not be made in the future.
The Committee made a careful investigation of the expenses connected with the Registration of Voters, and found that the total amount paid the Registrars was $378.10, which we deem proper.
We also found that it had been the practice of the Assessors to be present at the meetings of the Registrars as a body, receiv- ing therefor during the year $192.00.
The Committee fails to see the necessity of more than one As- sessor being present at any meeting of the Registrars, and the Board of Registrars coincide with us in that opinion.
We recommend, therefore, that no amount be paid for the at- tendance of more than one Assessor at any meeting of the Regis- trars, and that the local Assessor of each Ward meet with the Registrars when registration is held in such Ward, and also recommend that the Registrars of Voters be allowed and paid $400 in sum total for ensuing year.
The Committee in its investigation of the receipts and disburse- ments of the town's moneys have learned that it has been the practice of some of the officers and employees of the town to receive moneys due to the town and have also disbursed the same.
We find that the Selectmen have received moneys from the Town Treasurer to be transferred to those entitled to State Aid. With this practice, which we believe to be a great convenience and might otherwise be a hardship to many who by infirmities are not able to personally draw the amounts due them from the Town Treasurer, the Committee feel that there is no grave fault to be found in the continuance of this practice.
149
We recommend, however, that with the exception of Selectmen receiving and disbursing State Aid, no officer or employee not under bonds as Disbursing or Receiving Officer of the Town, should be permitted to collect, hold or disburse any of the funds of the town.
The Committee have examined as fully as possible, in the limited time at our disposal, the books of the Town Accountant and his methods in keeping the accounts of the town, and cannot refrain from commending them in the highest terms. We, how- ever, have discovered that there is a multiplicity of clerical employees in the service of the town and we are of the opinion that the entire accounting of the town can be merged in one per- son, placing the responsibility for the systematic keeping of all the accounts of the town upon this Town Accountant.
We recommend that the Town Accountant be appointed Water Collector and Registrar.
The Committee have used their best energies to examine and make a report upon the articles referred to them by the vote of the citizens at the Special Town Meeting, but the field is so large, that with the time at our disposal, it very early became apparent that it would be a physical impossibility in the short time previous to the annual Town Meeting to cover but a small portion of it.
We, therefore, report only upon such matters as were brought before us by written and specific charges and such other matters as were in a sense collateral to, and brought out by, our investiga- tion of such charges.
We must say, however, that from what we have learned in this investigation, we deem it highly necessary that a more complete examination be made and a sufficient time be given to perfect it, so that at the end every citizen may know exactly the condition of the financial and other affairs of the town.
The matter of finances of the town is a very grave subject to not only investigate, but as well to report upon with any recom- mendations. It is something which should be considered care- fully, considerately and conservatively, as upon the financial condition of the town rests not only its present but its future welfare, and naturally of every individual citizen of the town.
150
The financial condition of the town cannot be hastily consid- ered, nor do we believe it advisable to undertake the presentation of any report with supplemental recommendation, except, after, what we feel will be positively necessary, a most thorough examination of our present condition, and well considered judg- ment as to the best and most economical course for the future.
From our lack of time it has been impossible to examine or investigate several of the departments of the town.
We feel that no investigation of a portion of the town affairs will be at all satisfactory, but that instead every department should be subjected to a rigid and exact examination. " What is worth doing at all is worth doing well," and inasmuch as certain matters have been brought to our attention concerning other departments, while investigating a particular one, we believe it to be for the best interests, of not only the town, but of the Town Officers, that the examination and investigation of the affairs of the town be continued, either by this or some other Coinmittee, until the whole affairs and accounts are gone over.
The Committee, in its examination, did not feel that for our present investigation it was advisable to go farther back than the year 1900, and considered only matters from that date to the present.
If it should be the mind of the citizens that it go back further than 1900, we are of the opinion it would be advisable to such extent as may be deemed necessary by the Committee, in order to arrive at proper conclusions.
We recommend that this may be done systematically and thor- onghly, a committee be appointed to continue this examination with power to employ such stenographic or clerical assistance as mey be necessary with an appropriation for such assistance of $200.00.
In conclusion, your Committee desire to say. If the results expected have not been as great as some might have looked for- ward to, it has not been brought about by any lack of energy or industry upon the part of the Committee, nor from any apparent disinclination of any Officer of the Town, towards arriving at the true status of the affairs to which we were appointed to investi- gate.
151
We cannot but feel, however, that with such matters as have been investigated, there is every reason for the Committee to believe that it will prove beneficial to the town in future.
Respectfully submitted,
[Signed ]
WM. W. CASTLE, Chairman.
NELSON W. GARDNER, Secretary.
Voted, To accept and adopt the following report of the Com- mittee on Sewerage and that the same Committee continue the investigation.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SEWERAGE.
The Committee appointed at the last annual Town Meeting to further consider the subject of sewerage as applicable to the town of Weymouth has in the discharge of that duty conferred with the Sewerage Department of the State Board of Health, where it was learned that said board had made a general survey and had con- sidered the natural conditions of the town with reference to such a system, and that the suggestions contained in last year's report of your Committee embodied the conclusions of the engineer of that department as to the sewerage disposal.
No more definite conclusion was practical without a survey in detail, which was only possible after some appropriation had been made by the town to defray expenses.
The Committe invited Mr. E. W. Branch of Quincy, who superintended the construction of the sewer system of that city, to come before it at one of its meetings and present his views on the matter. He gave much useful information, outlining the work in Quincy and the question of sewage disposal in general, explaining the various methods in use in different localities. His views as concerned Weymouth were substantially along the lines indicated by the State Board of Health.
All the engineers whose advice was obtained by the Committee agreed that the most feasible and ultimately economical plan was to join the South Metropolitan District and discharge the sewage through a force main to the high level gravity sewer on Sea street

in Quincy, which is the Metropolitan sewer discharging about one mile off Nutt Island.
The engineers of the State Board of Health have estimated the probable expense to Weymouth for the construction of the pump- ing station, laying the pipes from the town line for the connection, and the right to use the Metropolitan sewer already constructed, at one hundred and seventy-six thousand ($176,000) dollars. This estimate is that of the expense of disposal from the town line, and does not include any part of the expense of the con- struction within the town, excepting that of a pumping station.
With the information at hand the Committee are unable to make any approximation of what the cost within the town would be, but it undoubtedly would be large. In order to make any intelligent estimate it will be necessary to have a general survey of the town, and this we recommend before any further steps are taken.
The Committee is informed that some other towns in this vicin- ity, with which it is possible there may be ultimate co-operation, are to appoint similar committees at their annual meetings this year, and we ask that this or some other committee be allowed to continue its consideration of the subject for another year.
ALBERT P. WORTHEN, Chairman, HENRY A. NASH, Secretary.
Voted, To accept the following report of the Committee on a Survey of the Town :
WEYMOUTH, MASS., Feb. 1, 1906.
The Committee appointed at our last annual Town Meeting for the purpose of investigating the advisability of a survey of the town, beg leave to submit the following report :
Your Committee has corresponded with and interviewed several engineers and assessors in cities and towns of Eastern Massachusetts, and the practically unanimous tenor of the re- plies we have received has been that the municipality of which a survey had been made considered such a survey a good paying investment.
One case in particular we wish to call to your attention-that of New Bedford. In 1893 the valuation of New Bedford was re-
153
turned as follows : Real estate, $25,344,300 ; personal prop- erty, $19,130,798. In 1894, when the new plans, books, records, etc., compiled from a survey, were first installed, the valuation was returned as follows: Real estate, $31,835,500; personal property, $19,599,425 ; a gain of $6,977,980 over 1893. The increase gave the net receipts in taxes over $75,000, which was more than twice the total cost of the complete survey. Some 156 acres of land, the greater part situated in the most thickly settled portion of the city. which had previously escaped taxation, not having appeared on the Assessors' books before, were added to the list of taxable property by this survey. Each land owner is assessed for what he owns ; no more, no less.
Although your Committee in no sense wishes to cast any reflection upon the ability or integrity of the present or any past Board of Assessors, yet we are of the opinion that the present method of valuation and taxation is the direct outcome of an imperfect and ancient system in assessing taxes, and very conducive to mistakes and inequitable returns.
A survey of the town, if properly made with plans, titles, etc., will give the Assessors' Department all the information necessary for a fair and equal adjustment of all land values, and it is then incumbent upon the Board to determine and equalize the valua- tion on a sure and lasting foundation.
This Committee is strongly of the opinion that an entire survey of the town, if properly made, will yield a much larger revenue for our municipal wants, and will enable at least one department of our town to do their work in a systematic and busineslike manner.
Your Committee estimate that the total expense attending this work will not exceed the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000)-the work to be extended over several years. It is understood, however, that this estimate is gauged by the cost of similar work in other towns and cities, and may be materially raised or lowered by unforseen difficulties peculiar to our town.
We have no hesitancy in urging that immediate action be taken by the town to commence the work of a thorough and complete survey of the town, and that the same be pushed to completion as rapidly as can be to insure good, faithful and correct work.
We therefore recommend-
154
That a sum not to exceed $1,500 be raised and appropriated for the purpose of commencing work on a survey of this town. And further, that in no case shall the appropriation made for this purpose the current year be exceeded without the consent of the town.
Respectfully submitted, (SIGNED) D. M. EASTON, Chairman. W. CARLETON BARNES, Clerk. BRADFORD HAWES, F. H. TORREY, CHARLES H. WILLOBY, Committee on Town Survey, 1906.
