ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.
Pursuant to the foregoing warrant the annual meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Weymouth was held in the Town Hall on March 9th, 1914, the meeting being called to order at 9.15 o'clock A. M. and the warrant read (except the several articles ) by the Town Clerk.
Voted, To dispense with the readings of the several articles of the warrant.
Article 1. Hon. Louis A. Cook was elected as Moderator for the 25th consecutive year and the oath was administered to him by the Town Clerk.
Article 2. Voted, That the Moderator appoint a committee of five to retire and nominate all officers not required to be elected by ballot.
The following were appointed :
Martin E. Hawes, John A. Holbrook, Patrick Casey, Clarence J. Fearing and Prince H. Tirrell.
The Moderator appointed the following tellers and administered the oath to them :
Dr. C. P. Whittle and Ralph P. Burrell.
Article 3. Voted, To accept the report of the several Boards of Town Officers as printed.
Voted, To accept the report of H.A. Miller on the condition and needs of the Water System of Weymouth as printed.
Voted, To accept the report of the Committee appointed at the last annual meeting to consider the needs of building a new Town Home which is as follows :-
To the Voters of Weymouth :
Your committee, appointed "to consider the advisability of building a new Town Home, or act on any matter relating thereto," would submit the following :
While the farm itself was not a matter of our concern, we found there in August a condition of which the town may well be proud. In the spacious barn was a fine herd of milch cows, and separated from the barn a milk room with every facility for caring for milk on sanitary principles. The mows were filled to the rafters with a well cured stock of hay, oats and other fodder, and the 240-ton silo was in readiness for the growing crop.
The broad fields told of high cultivation of corn and vegetables of all kinds, notably a two-acre field of potatoes on what but two
123
years ago was a barren waste of stones, bowlders, briars and brambles. Most of the work of reclaiming and cultivation had been done by inmates of the Home.
During the fall and winter we have made a number of visits to the Home. We found the basement or lower floor with a kitchen equipped with all modern appliances for the work required ; also a wash room and laundry in like condition ; two dining rooms, one for male and one for female inmates. Somewhat separated but on the same level there are spacious store room and bins for vegeta- bles and other products of the farm.
The first or main floor has a business office, ample living rooms for the superintendent and his family, and at the extreme western end of the hall two rooms separated from the others for use in case of sickness. These rooms, while all right for ordinary cases of sickness, bring to our attention a real serious need of the town. Neither at the Home nor at any other place has it any facilities for caring for contagious diseases or for patients whose condition require isolation.
The second floor may be called the home of the inmates. The first room to attract our attention is a neat little chapel capable of seating fifty or sixty people, where occasional Sunday after- noon services are held and on holidays entertainments for the inmates are given. The other rooms are models of neatness and comfort. There are at present 31 inmates, 23 male and 8 female. In a few instances there are two males in a room, but then each one has a separate bed. In the rooms every inmate has an indi- vidual warbrobe for his clothing and other personal effects. Every one on that floor has easy access to a bathroom and other sanitary needs.
There are now two unused rooms on the second floor and six on the third or attic floor. The rooms have been renovated within a short time, some with new floors.
In short, there is no immediate, nor will there be for many years, occasion for a new Home. It would, however, be a com- fort for a few of the aged and infirm who can scarcely get up and down stairs to have a balcony on the south side of the building where they could sit out of doors in pleasant weather.
The only real and absolute need we discover is that pertaining to an emergency which may occur at any moment calling for hos- pital accommodations.
M. E. HAWES, R. H. WHITING, FRANK E. LOUD.

Weymouth, England, Dec. 1913.
"Sir :- I am desired by the Mayor of this Town to write you under the following circumstances :
" History appears to show that John Endicott, the first Governor of Massachusetts Bay, and Clark sailed from Weymouth in the ship "Abigail" in the year 1628, and to mark this in- teresting fact, a fund has been raised and a memorial is to be erected ou the Quay adjacent from which these worthies sailed. It is proposed to unveil this memorial in the first week in June next and efforts are being made to obtain the services of the American Ambassador for the occasion.
" From the best enquirie I can make I have ascertained there are two towns bearing the name of "Weymouth" in the United States one in Massachusetts and the other in New Jersey, and I am deserved to express the ernest hope of our town that you will in- duce a representative from your town to visit us on the occasion mentioned. I need hardly say if you succeed in doing this your representative will receive a very hearty welcome, and our Borough will consider it a great honor.
"Thanking you in anticipation I am sir
