CRUSHER: This plant which was located at the Plymouth !! Quarries was moved and set up at Keith's gravel pit at East Wey -. mouth and proved a good change. Extensive repairs were neces
252
sary to the crusher before being operated. This cost with that of moving, constructing new platforms made an item of $2420.95 which should not be figured in the cost of producing crushed "stone for this year; but as the appropriations are made to cover but one year, it is necessary to base the cost of production on the total amount expended during the year, in other words as shown by the summary of the crusher account, the actual cost was $1.30 per ton, but taking out this large item of $2420.95 it "will be seen that the cost per ton would be about 82 cents per ton, which is a very low figure. A dump car operated by a "wench on a narrow gauge track was used to bring the material to the crusher. A steam shovel would greatly reduce the cost of getting out the crushed stone, but I hesitate to recommend the purchase at this time due to the cost and uncertainty of the "amount of new work that will be sanctioned for next year. A belt "conveyor would help materially in lowering the cost and can be bought for a small sum.
Summary of Crusher Account
Moving, repairs and setting-up $2420.95
Labor 3815.14
Gravel, supplies and power 579.12
Total expense $6815.21
Tons crushed, 5208. Cost per ton including item of moving "and setting-up, $1.30.
Stone distributed as follows: General repairs and private work, 2268 tons; sidewalks, 354 tons; Broad Street macadam, 1628 tons; Storage, 466 tons; East Street, 104 tons; Iron Hill "Street, 54 tons; Essex and Lake Streets, 162 tons; Derby Street, #80 tons; Shawmut Street, 28 tons; Randolph Street, 64 tons.
The item of street cleaning, which includes the scraping of gutters on practically every street in town, the cleaning of squares wand main streets during the summer, and the removal of leaves in the fall, was larger than the previous year due to the fact that many streets the previous year were skipped. The total cost was :$400.70.
DRAINS AND CATCH BASINS: This work consisted of the «construction of several new basins, the usual cleaning out of «drains and basins and the construction of new drains amounted to *$2674.22. This work is increasing each year with the construc- -tion of new streets and buildings, and at least $3,500 should be =allowed for the coming year.
The amount expended for gravel sidewalks was not as great as the budget allowance, due to other work that was deemed more urgent. I believe that more effort should be made to improve «our sidewalks, and here again it is the question of funds to do tthe work.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATIANS
BRADLEY ROAD: $799.91 was expended to complete that part within Great Hill Park. This was graveled, rolled and oiled, and one catch basin built.
PERMANENT SIDEWALKS: $3,000 was the appropriation for this work. Cement concrete sidewalks were laid on Commer- cial Street and at Washington Square, Weymouth Landing; con- crete curb at Thomas's Corner, No. Weymouth; concrete curb on
253
Broad Street, East Weymouth; and curb and sidewalk in front of the Weymouth Trust Company, at South Weymouth; also a short piece of tar concrete on Main Street near Independence Square. It is impossible to make much of a showing with this appropriation in view of the fact that it has been customary to divide the amount between the five wards of the Town.
BROAD STREET MACADAM. The north side of Broad Street from Central Square to Shawmut Street, was resurfaced with six inches of asphalt macadam. Three new catch basins were built, and the grade improved. The old road material was used to good advantage in resurfacing parts of Washburn, Whitman, Humphrey, Madison, Emerson and Essex Streets. $9,800 was ap- propriated for this work, and about 4640 square yards of road surface macadamized. This work should be continued to Jackson Square, but to do this properly, a new grade should be established for part of the adjacent sidewalk.
PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION. This work was done on Broad Street adjacent to Clapp's Field, and was of the same type of construction as that under the heading of Broad Street Ma- cadam. $4,000 was appropriated to complete the macadam road at the westerly end of Clapp's Field to Central Square. It was decided that before this road was laid that part of the ledge near Central Square should be removed, so that a uniform width of road could be built. Mrs. Edwin Clapp, owner of the ledge offered to give necessary land to make this widening and the ap- propriation committee made a transfer of $1,000 to the general land fund to complete the work. The cost of removing this ledge was about $1,800, the large part of which is charged to general repairs. It was so late in the season when the ledge work was completed that it was thought advisable to leave the remaining 100 lineal feet of road surface unfinished until Spring. 1868 square yards of asphalt macadam were laid and one catch basin rebuilt.
DERBY STREET. $500 was the amount raised for this street. The shoulders were widened, gutters raised and the road resurfaced with a light coat of crushed gravel. The road should have been given a treatment of Tarvia, but the appropriation would not allow it.
IRON HILL STREET. This was improved by graveling and oiling. $400 being expended.
SHAWMUT STREET. That portion between Broad and Lake Streets, and part of Lake Street were improved by reshap- ing and oiling. Paved gutters were laid on parts of both sides of the street, and two catch basins rebuilt, greatly improving the drainage conditions. $1,000 was the cost of this work ..
STREET SIGNS AND GUIDE BOARDS. After consider- able study of various types of street signs a contract was made with the Century Sign Company for a number of their "Everni" signs. These signs are made of aluminum letters mounted on a black fiber substance which requires no painting and are of at- tractive design. Forty-eight signs and guide boards were erected, and many favorable comments were received regarding them. $985.94 was expended for this work, and a like amount should be expended until the streets are all properly signed.
MAY TERRACE. $500 was appropriated for this street. About $200 of this amount was needed to fill an old fire cistern that was in the center of the road, so that but little was left to properly grade and gravel the road.
254
JOHNSON ROAD. The appropriation of $1,000 was just about enough to do the sub-grading, therefore the street remains unfinished. The same is true of Shaw Road, for which $300 was appropriated.
$700 was appropriated to repair and oil parts of Essex and Lake Streets; also $500 to East Street. These jobs were done within the appropriations and made a decided improvement.
NEVIN SCHOOL DRAIN. A ten inch drain was laid in Co- lumbian street from Main Street westerly about 1250 feet; also an 8 inch drain through the school yard to drain the playground. Four catch basins were built, and from all appearances, this drain- age problem has been met, thereby greatly improving the school playground, as well as relieving the condition on Columbian Street.
WEBB STREET DRAIN. $5,000 was appropriated to lay a drain on Webb Street from Richmond to Commercial Streets, also to work the westerly side of the road to the street line. A ten inch pipe was laid on the westerly side of the street, and nine catch basins constructed to take care of the surface water. The con- struction of this drain was expensive, due to the large amount of rock and ledge encountered .. A sidewalk was constructed on the west side, from Richmond Street to Summit Street, and the shoulders and gutters graded.

Aid was given in the form of clothing to 41 persons re- ported to be needy. These donations were made possible through the kindness of friends who gave the articles for that purpose.
Two registered nurses have been kept busy administering relief and giving care to those who were ill.
The dental work is being carried on in the schools by Miss Alice A. Conroy, dental hygienist. This work is under the man- agement of the Nurse Association. A report of her work is given elsewhere in the town report.
We take this opportunity to express our thanks and deep appreciation for the support and co-operation of the citizens of our town.

Annual Report
OF THE
Water Commissioners
OF THE
Town of Weymouth 1924
259
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS January 1, 1925
The Board organized March 17, 1924, with the election of Frank H. Torrey as chairman, George E. Bicknell, clerk, and John H. Stetson, treasurer.
The following appointments for the current year were made: Supt., Fred O. Stevens; pumping station engineer, George W. Sargent; register and collector, Winslow M. Tirrell; and pond officer, Willie B. Loud.
Jointly with the Selectmen, Emerson R. Dizer was appointed Town Accountant.
The demands on our system are increasing so rapidly we are faced with the necessity of improving the same, which will require large expenditures, this we said in our report one year ago and we can only reiterate that statement at the present time, The opening of undeveloped land has increased very largely during the year and the new houses already started show that 1925 will demand the expenditure of considerable money, with over 5,000 charge accounts, 2,800 of which are on meter reading, collecting nearly $70,000 and furnishing water to about 20,000 people. The Water Department has become a business which only those closely interested in its affairs can realize. A careful read- ing of the details as submitted by the Superintendent, will be time well spent.
We request the following appropriations from our income of
the coming year :
Maintenance and Operation
$26,000.00
Replacement
3,000.00
Equipment
3,000.00
Commercial expenses
