REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ACQUIRING LAND AROUND GREAT POND.
To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth :
GENTLEMEN :- The committee appointed by vote of the annual town meeting held on the 13th day of March, 1911, " to consider the advisability of the Town acquiring lands and intersts in land bordering on the shore of the Weymouth Great Pond for the purpose of protecting and preserving the property of the Town's Water Supply, to estimate the quantity of land deemed necessary for that purpose, to ascertain the price for which land can be purchased," has attended to the duty assigned to it and reports as follows :-
Your committee organized and elected Edward B. Nevin, chair- man and Nelson B. Gladwin, secretary, and considered the matter assigned to it by vote of the Town and believe that it is un- necessary at the present time, for the Town to take or purchase any of the land surrounding the pond.
The only purpose for which the Town could justifiably expend the money of the tax payers in the purchase of the property surrounding the pond, would be for the protection and purification of the water supply.
If, therefore, the purity of the water supply may be fully and amply protected without the expenditure of the sum necessary to take by purchase or otherwise, the land surrounding the pond, it is apparent that such expenditure would be wholly unnecessary and unjustifiable.
Your committee believe that there is now sufficient law to safe- guard said water supply and its purity in every respect and that the law, if enforced, is amply sufficient to acomplish this purpose.
For these reasons, therefore, your committee is unanimous in the opinion that the purchase or acquiring of any land bordering on the shore of Weymouth Great Pond is unnecessary to protect said water supply.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF LIVE STOCK.
SOUTH WEYMOUTU, MASS., January 20, 1912. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth :
I hereby submit my report as Inspector of Live Stock for the year 1911. I find people are taking better care of stables where cows are kept, but in some places there is a chance for great im- provement yet. There have been 12 horses killed for glanders, 5 cows for tuberculosis, 2 dogs for rabies, all of which have either been buried or rendered. The whole number of animals inspected is as follows: Cows, 649; young cattle, 63 ; bulls, 17; goats, 7; swine, 190; oxen, 6.
Respectfully submitted,
F. WILBUR LOUD, Inspector of Live Stock.
REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth :
GENTLEMEN-Herewith please find my report for 1911.
The work of the Tree Department, aside from the spraying of the town trees, has been directed mostly to the care of the dead and dying trees. Several large ones have been removed, and there are many still left which must be removed the coming season.
As we are removing some trees every year, and also opening up new streets, it is apparent that we shall need to set out some trees on our streets in the near future, but until we are free from the elm leaf beetle or have a larger appropriation, we shall have to wait for new trees.
I hope from the indications that the beetle will soon cease to trouble, at least for some years.
Yours respectfully, C. L. MERRITT, Tree Warden.
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTH WORK
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth:
GENTLEMEN : - Herewith please find my report for the year 1911. The work of the Moth Department has been conducted along the usual lines, with one promising addition, and I feel that our town is in comparatively good condition. The addition noted was the introduction of a disease among the gypsy moths. The supply of the material was limited last year, but we expect a liberal supply next spring. It is effective only in heavily infested sec- tions, but in one colony where the moths were thickest it cleaned up an area of four acres so that not an egg cluster remains ; so we hope to get some help from this disease in our heavily infested woodlands in the future.
The brown tail moths are not so numerous in town as they were last year, and when we compare the conditions here with those in the towns in New Hampshire, where they have not done any moth work to speak of, we may well feel thankful that we have kept up the work. I have had the power sprayer overhauled and put in good condition for the spring work, but shall have to buy a full line of hose before spraying time.
I wish to thank your Board for your cordial support, and also all others, whether in or out of the department, who have assisted in the work.
Respectfully submitted,
C. L. MERRITT,
Local Superintendent Moth Department.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH ..
To the Citizens of the Town of Weymouth :
Board organized, George E. Emerson, M.D., Chairman, Nelson B. Gladwin, Secretary. We have endeavored during the past year to investigate and correct all nuisances that have been brought to our attention. In many cases the result of our work has been very satisfactory with the cooperation of the offenders ; others have been arbitrary. Most of these are persons who are best able to make improvements. as suggested by the board.
Complaints have been numerous. We have tried to do justice to all, but when you consider that the regulation applies to the outlying district the same as to the congested centre, it is readily seen that the proposition is no small one to keep all in harmony.
The board this year arranged to have the offal collected and disposed of along our beaches at a small cost to the occupant of each cottage. This gave satisfaction generally ; of course all could not be satisfied. We shall attempt this year to improve ihis service as well as extend it. We want to say right here that the board is ready to prosecute any person against whom evidence can be given who throws or deposits offal or refuse of any nature on any public way or vacant lot or beach in Weymouth. Citizens should not enter complaints because of any personal grievance.
· We have carefully inspected land and buildings that surround our water supply early in the spring and during the latter part of the summer, and report that conditions are of the best. We would suggest, however, that in order to insure pure water for this town that we should have a filter bed. This would necessitate an expenditure of $50,000, approximately. At first glance this may seem unnecessary. It may be so at the present time, but the vital question is how soon will we need it? The town can guard the pond, but to take proper precautions in all the water-shed is impossible, and there is where the danger is increasing always.
181
Our dairies have improved during the year, but not all are up to the standard. We realize that a great many stables in town are old and we can require only cleanliness. It is intended to estab- lish milk inspection during the coming year.
It has been suggested by a number of citizens that the town purchase a pump for cleaning cesspools and vaults and have this work supervised by this board at a uniform price. We shall try and arrange with some person to care for the entire town if possible.
We again call the attention of our citizens who are dumping on the highways. This must be discontinued, as it is unsightly as well as a detriment to property.
