The books and accounts of the Town Treasurer, Treasurer of Water Loan and Sinking Fund Commissioners, Beal Park Fund, Joseph E.

Some of these funds are held by the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen as directed by the donor of same and while nominally they should still be directed by him, the Auditors recommend that a record of the principal together with the earnings and expendi- tures on account of these funds be kept each year by the Town Ac- countant and reported by him on receipt from the trustee of his account of the earnings and payments chargeable to these funds.


The register of the Town Accountant and the cash book of the Town Treasurer agree as to amounts of the orders paid and bal- ance of orders unpaid Jan. 1, 1922.

ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


Water Commissioners


OF THE


TOWN OF WEYMOUTH


1921


269


REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS


January 1, 1922.


The Board organized on March 21, 1921, with the election of Frank H. Torrey as chairman; George E. Bicknell, clerk; and John H. Stetson, treasurer.


The following appointments were made: Fred O. Stevens, superintendent; George W. Sargent, engineer at pumping station; George E. Bicknell, collector and registrar; and W. B. Loud, officer at pond.


At a joint meeting with the Selectmen, Emerson R. Dizer was appointed Town Accountant.


The Boston Ice Company property on the shores of Great Pond has recently been purchased for the purpose of real estate develop- ment, it being the intention of the purchaser to build up a camp and bungalow community similar to that which has recently sprung up on the shores of Whitman's Pond.


The very beginning of this development, with the advent of road-builders, carpenters, prospective buyers, and sightseeing visi- tors, will render the water of Great Pond unsafe for drinking pur- poses unless given chemical treatment, and as the number of cot- tages increase, the chances of pollution will in a very short time be so great that the State Department of Health will be obliged to condemn this supply as they did Little Pond in Braintree some years ago.


If this should come to pass, there would then be but two ways of supplying Weymouth with safe drinking water; either an out- side supply would have to be found, or Great Pond water would have to be filtered and possibly chlorinated, or in other words dis- infected.


The only outside supply available is that of the Metropolitan District, the introduction of which would mean, according to fig- ures recently furnished by the Metropolitan District Commission, an initial outlay of approximately $500,000 and an annual charge of $20,000 for water. In addition the Town would be obliged to maintain its distribution system as at present as well as a pump- ing station to handle part of the water used in South Weymouth. These costs, entailing as they would an increase of about 100 per cent. in the water rates, are clearly prohibitive.


The cost of a mechanical filter plant adapted to the present consumption is estimated at $75,000 with an annual operating cost of $9,000. From a financial standpoint this might appear to be a good way out of the difficulty, but the public as a rule prefers a water supply that is pure and sterile at the source, to one that has been contaminated and later purified by artificial agencies.


We believe that this would be the ultimate preference of the majority of the residents of Weymouth, and accordingly have in- serted an article in the warrant for the next annual meeting, ask- ing for authority to purchase at our discretion, certain lands on the shores of Great Pond, for the purpose of protecting the water supply.


If it were possible to obtain a suitable supply elsewhere at a reasonable cost, this Board would welcome the change and the utmost development of Great Pond as a residential community or as a pleasure resort. Since however, there is no alternative sup-


270


ply, we know that the people of Weymouth cannot afford to allow this one to become contaminated.


We request the following appropriations from our revenue :
