REPORT OF THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
North Weymouth, December 31, 1925.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth, Gentlemen :-
I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1925 and with the increased number of gasoline pumps and more stores of the different commodities has increased the sealing fees to the amount of $311.99.
I again wish to call to your attention Sec. 96, and 99, Chapter 94 General Laws as amended by Chap. 355. Acts of 1922, which requires all fruits, nuts and vegetables sold at retail by avor- dupois weight or numerical count. This is purely a point of edu- cation, now to the older people it seems easier and more conven- ient to go into a store and ask for a peck of potatoes when the rightful phrase is to ask for 15 lbs. of potatoes, or not a quart of onions, but instead 2 lbs. of onions; it will gradually become instilled into our minds. Now let the mother of a boy or girl when she sends them to the store for potatoes to have them ask the storekeeper for so many lbs. of potatoes as 15 lbs. instead of a peck. That will educate the children as to the new law and soon have us all to have forgotten the peck or bushel as a measuring device to sell and barter.
During the year 28 Fish, Fruit and Vegetable licenses were granted at $10 each, 8 junk licenses granted at $25 each.
Three convictions were made during the year. Peddling with- out licenses 3, two paid fine of $10 each and one was placed on file.
My general work for the year is as follows: Sealed
3,043 Articles 28 Articles
Non Sealed
Condemned 20
Gas Pumps
136 Articles
Reweighings
498 Articles
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES W. BURGESS, Sealer.
PARK COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth. Gentlemen:
Beals Park
We believe that we have made a valuable improvement to Beals Park this last summer by the building of the bandstand which is an asset to the people of No. Weymouth in more ways than one, first a band concert brings the people together in a community spirit, band concerts are very popular today during the summer months, now if we had no park and a good band- stand on which to hold these concerts people would go to other
120
towns on Wednesday nights as they are held here and spend their money with out of town refreshment stands when instead it is spent here.
The park commissioners' did not have money enough to build such a band-stand as would be an asset to No. Weymouth, but could build a good substantial base and platform by curtail- ing on some other things that perhaps the parks could get along without for this year, now with the co-operation of the Fellow- ship class of Pilgrim Church and other good spirited citizens a top was built for the band-stand at a cost of about $700 which was sponsored by the Fellowship class through subscriptions, enter- tainments, moving picture and donations so that we now have a good permanent band-stand.
' We would suggest that some play ground equipment be put in the new school house grounds at Bicknell Square.
The grass was mowed and grounds cared for during the year.
Bailey Green
The grass was cut regularly and the grounds cared for as in previous years.
Great Hill Park
Great Hill Park has become a sight during this last summer from an educational standpoint which I believe is a valuable thing for the people of Weymouth to know, the boy scouts pitched tents and camped out on the park on different nights during the summer where they had outlook posts and night maneuver- ing on the park and during the day signal drills were held from the park to other places of lower elevation such as wig-wagging.
The park is situated in a wonderful spot and do not let us for- get it. Now if this had not been town property why perhaps some private owner would not have permitted them these privileges.
The stars and stripes were kept waving over the park during the summer months.
Webb Park
The work at Webb Park consisted of painting, repairing, some grading, and general care of the grounds at a cost of $79.90. We re firmly convinced that an outlying Park such as Webb Park should be planted to shrubbery and natural growth as a rest spot. We feel that with the tremendous increase of automo- biles, and the danger to the children playing and crossing the streets that the Parks should be supervised either through the school department or by persons specially trained for that pur- pose. Both for the safety of the children, and for the proper pro- tection of the Town's property.
Lovell's Corner Playgrounds
The Lovells Corner playground still continues to be a popular gathering place for the boys and girls of Lovell's Corner.
The interest shown by citizens is very helpful and profitable. The following donations have been received during the year: Citizens
$87.00
Charles White
50.00
American Legion
55.00
Dorchester S. S.
5.00
Rec. for Lime Bottles
5.00
Foot Ball Association
7.00
Willie White
15.00
121
The following equipment has been installed: Seats have been located in Hawes grove in shady places. Merry go round, Parallel Bars, Jumping Standards, High Jumps, Jumping Standards, Standing, Climbing Pole, Trapeze, Horizontal Bar.
Some of these and the electric lights were made possible by donations.
Special mention should be made of the way in which the boys and girls have taken an interest in keeping the play ground and its equipment in good condition.
It is the opinion of the Park Commissioners that supervised play should be had in all parts of the town and it is theirs opin- ion that school yards in some cases should be the location and we recommend that it be tried to some extent during the summer months; te know how to play should be part of the education of every child.
Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS W. REA, CHARLES W. BURGESS, JOSEPH KELLEY, Park Commissioners.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of the Town of Weymouth,
Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Board of Health.
The board continued with the same organization as last year. George B. Bayley was appointed inspector of milk and dairies, also of slaughtering and slaughter houses. In September War- ren Menchin was appointed inspector of slaughtering and slaugh- ter houses to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of George B. Bayley. Thomas Fay and Frank Fay were granted a license to slaughter.
J. E. Ludden was appointed inspector of Plumbing and George Marshall deputy inspector.
During the year 93 complaints of nuisances were investigated.
5261 76
127
Most of these complaints were in regards to the condition of the public dump and to the indiscriminate dumping along the highway and in vacant lots.
The garbage and dump situation still continues to be a big problem. Each year there is an increasing demand for more public dumps. There should be a municipal dump in each section of the town. These dumps should be under the care of a full-time man. One man should be able to burn over and care for all the dumps and keep them in fair condition.
During the year there were 366 cases of contagious disease
reported as follows.
Chicken Pox
62
Diphtheria
17
Lobar Pneumonia
14
Scarlet Fever

Measles

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TOWN FOREST
Weymouth, January 1, 1926. To the Honorable the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Wey- mouth :
The Committee on Town Forest has not pressed the matter for the past two years on account of other urgent needs of the Town. A full statement of the needs and advantages of a Town Forest are contained in the Committee's report of two years ago, to which ref- erence is made. Other towns are taking the matter up, and the growth of Weymouth the past few years is such as to make the matter one which should be no longer delayed. The water situa- tion in our Town is rapidly becoming such that a Town Forest will be a necessity to provide additional absorption area for the water supply, quite apart from its value as a source of fuel and timber wood.
The Committee is planning to have & detailed report on our situation made by the State Forester, and we shall be in a posi- tion before the Annual Town Meeting to submit a detailed and defi- nite plan of action.
We accordingly recommend that steps be taken this year to acquire gradually the necessary land for a Town Forest, either under the Town Forest Law or the Town Domain Law. Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE WEYMOUTH VISITING NURSE ASSOCIA- TION FOR THE YEAR 1925
To the Citizens of Weymouth: The Visiting Nurse Associa- tion submits the following report of the work accomplished during the past year:
Total No. Patients Cared For

Medical
394
Surgical

Obstetrical 123
Total No. Calls 5,114
Total No. Free Calls
1,781
The Association supports two Registered Nurses, whose en- tire time is devoted to the work of the Association and who are upon call every week day and on Sunday for emergency cases.
The dental work in the schools has been successfully con- tinued by Miss Alice Conroy, dental hygienist. This is carried on under the management of the Visiting Nurse Association. The re- port of the dental work may be found in the report of the Superin- tendent of Schools.
At the expense of the. Association milk was furnished to one child for three months and several needy families were helped with food and clothing.
The nurses gave their services at the hospital tent at the Field Day of the American Legion in July.
In April a Child Welfare Clinic was held under the. direction of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health at which 51 children were examined. Two doctors from the State Department and the two nurses of the Association were in attendance. This demonstration clinic indicated the need for such work in Weymouth and in November the Association established a Child Welfare Clinic to be held every Monday afternoon at the Dispensary, East Weymouth. The physician in charge is Dr. Edmund B. Fitz- Gerald of the Boston Children's Hospital. During the months of November and December, 114 children were brought to the clinics Many of these patients showed marked improvement under the su- pervision of the doctor and nurses and it is hoped the clinics may become a permanent feature of the Association's program.
We take this opportunity to express our thanks and deep ap- preciation for the generous support and co-operation of the citi- zens of our Town.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TUFTS LIBRARY
The forty-seventh annual report of the Board of Trustees of the Tufts Library is respectively submitted as follows:
The past year has called for an unusual outlay in the care of the library building. Early in the year the trustees found that the condition of the brickwork demanded that, for the protection of the building, the walls must be pointed. The work was begun and as it progressed the necessity for going over the entire building was apparent. It was also necessary to make extensive repairs upon the roof.
