REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
Weymouth, Mass. January 11, 1923
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth
I herewith submit my report as Town Counsel for the year end- ing December 31, 1922.
On January 1, 1922, there were pending against the Town the following suits :
Harold A. Billings for damages alleged to have been caused by blasting on Front Street.
Simon Delorey for alleged damages to mowing land, in conse- quence of condition of street drain;
Gustavus B. Bates for alleged damages to land on Pleasant Street, in consequence of street drainage;
Annie W. Bates for alleged damages to property on Washing- ton Street, alleged to have been caused by the shutting off of the water supply ;
County Commissioners, petition for appointment of the cost of Monatiquot River Bridge;
Old Colony Gas Company petition for abatement of 1920 tax.
The cases of Billings, Delorey, Gustavus B. Bates and Annie W. Bates are still pending in Court. In the Monatiquot River Bridge apportionment case, the hearings have been concluded and the Commissioners now have the case under advisement.
The Old Colony Gas Company's petition for abatement of the 1920 tax, has been disposed of without a trial, by the Company's agreement to entry of judgement in favor of the Town.
The Town has been represented at hearings before the State Department of Public Health, seeking to have the Massachusetts Oil Refining Company, located in Braintree, so conduct its business as to prevent noxious odors escaping and preventing the escape of cil along the Weymouth shores.
On March 28, 1922, after these hearings had been concluded, the Department of Public Health entered the following order :
"The order issued by this Department on April 2, 1921, closing the works of said Massachusetts Oil Refining Company, at East Braintree, Mass., be not revoked and that the suspension of said order of April 2, 1921, be and hereby is terminated."'
The Oil Company appealed to the Superior Court from the order of the Department. In April 1922, a motion was presented to the Superior Court asking that the Company's appeal be assigned for trial at the May term of the Superior Court at Dedham, and after hearing on the motion, the Court ordered the case assigned for trial for the October term, the Dept. of Public Health being represented by the Attorney General's Office. On Nov. 14, 1922
171
the Company agreed to the entry of a verdict, which was consented tc by the Attorney General's office and the Dept. of Public Health and which was returned by the jury, a copy of which verdict is at- tached hereto.
During the year there have been several Land Court cases, in which the Town has been interested to the extent of the determin- ation of the location of street lines, and these have all been dis- posed of to the satisfaction of the Town.

(7) If the services of the disinterested third party are re- quired to carry out any of the provisions of paragraph five hereof, his compensation and expenses, if any, shall be born equally by said Company and said Department of Public Health.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
At the annual election held March 13, 1922, the following were elected : Selectmen, William H. Cowing, William B. Dasha, Fred- erick Humphrey, Theron L. Tirrell, and Alfred W. Hastings.
They met on the morning of the fourteenth and after taking the oath of office before Clayton B. Merchant, Town Clerk, organ- ized with Mr. Cowing as Chairman and Mr. Hastings as Clerk of the Board.
The different departments which come under the Supervision of the Selectmen have been reported in detail and will be found herein.
The printing of the Town Reports for 1922 was granted to The Herald Press of Newburyport, who contracted to do the work for $5.10 a page, for 4500 copies.
Six other printing concerns were invited to bid for the work, the bid of the "Herald Press" was the only one received and it was given to them.
Considerable criticism has manifested itself because the work was awarded to out of town concerns and for other minor reasons also.
The Town Report for 1920 consisted of 4000 copies and cost $2713. The 4500 reports for 1921 cost $1666 a saving of $1047 from that of the previous year.
