Perambulation
The perambulation of the town lines in company with the Selectmen of the contiguous towns (with the exception of Hol- brook) was made in conformity with the provisions of the statute law requiring this to be done every five years. All of the bound stones were found and acknowledged to be in their proper places.
Bridge Street Widening
The State proposes the widening of Bridge Street between Fore River Bridge to Hingham Bridge. All surveying has been made and final plans have been presented to the Board and a majority of the abbuttors have signed releases accepting the awards for land taking and other damages as made by the State Engineer.
The Selectmen are unanimously in favor of this proposition.

Idlewell Bridge
The Selectmen make a report on the rights of the Town of Weymouth to enlarge the Idlewell bridge are contained in the statutes hereinafter referred to.
The present bridge was constructed by virtue of an agreement between the railroad and the then owner of Idlewell property, made at the time of the granting the railroad of a location through the property, and made for the purpose of ingress and egress of the owner of the Idlewell property. The public highway stops at the Commercial Street end of the bridge as I understand it.
General Laws, Chapter 160, Section 104, provides :-
""'A public way may be laid out across a railroad previously constructed, if the County Commissioners adjudge that public necessity and convenience so require; and in such case, after notice to the railroad corporation and a hearing of all parties interested, they may thus lay out or authorize a city or town upon petition of the Board of Alderman or Selectmen thereof, to lay out a way across a railroad, in such manner as not to injure or obstruct the railroad, and otherwise in conformity with Sections 97 and 98, but they shall not permit it to cross at a level with the railroad unless public necessity so requires and the department (Public Utilities Dept.) consents thereto in writing, in which case the County Commissioners may give special authority for such crossing as provided in Section 102."
The cost of laying out such way and building and maintain- ing the bridge will be wholly upon the town.
Section 59 of Chapter 159 of the General Laws, providing for the alteration of crossings and General Laws, providing for the alteration of crossings and the rebuilding of a highway bridge or any structural change or renewal, in order to improve a highway bridge, is not applicable to the Idlewell bridge because it is not a public way.
In my opinion, the remedy that the town as a municipality has lies only in its right to petition the County Commissioners for authority to lay out a way across the railroad at the point of the Idlewell bridge, and to make an appropriation to cover the expense of the building of such way and the necessary bridge. As to the rights of the present owners of the Idlewell prop- erty. Section 109 of Chapter 160 of the General Laws provides,-
"If a railroad is laid out through land of an owner and if the crossing is inconvenient, either party may petition the County Commissioners who after taking a recognizance from the applicant of the county, with sureties to their satisfaction for the payment of costs and expenses according to their order, and after notice to the other party and a hearing, may make an order relative to such crossing and to the costs of the applicant; but they shall not order the corporation to construct or maintain a crossing with- out its consent, unless it is liable by law or by agreement to con- struct a crossing for the owner of the land, or is the applicant."
As stated above, the bridge was built and maintained by virtue of an agreement between the railroad and the then owner of Idlewell. The rights of the owner now revert to the present owners and it seems to me that the present owners have a remedy to petition the County Commissioners for an order that a new bridge is necessary.
226
I am informed that the present owners of Idlewell have their own counsel, who I presume has advised them as to their rights in the matter.
My conclusion is that unless the town as a municipality, desires to lay out a public way across the bridge and build and maintain the bridge at their sole expense, that the town can afford no constructive assistance to the Idlewell people unless, of course, the town desires to lay out a street or access to the Idlewell property through a street in some other location not involving crossing the railroad property.
We suggest the following article for the warrant for the next town meeting:
"Article
To see if the Town will authorize the Board of Selectmen to petition the County Commissioner to lay out, or authorize the Board of Selectmen of Weymouth, to lay out a public way across the South Shore branch of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company, at or near the location of the present Idlewell bridge, or take any other action in relation thereto."

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Weymouth:
It would be impossible to make a detailed report of the work done by the Overseers of the Poor, hardly a day passes but what a case is brought to the attention of some member and we try to give every case our careful ronsideration.
A recent decision handed down by the Supreme Court has changed the settlement laws so that a woman must gain her own settlement after marriage instead of taking her husband's.
Mr. and Mrs. Barrett T, Wheeler were appointed to take charge of the Town Home.
On November 30, 1925 Mrs. Wheeler was stricken and passed away almost instantly, she was an ideal matron, loved and esteemed by everyone that knew her.
We express to Mr. Wheeler and family our greatest sympathy.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass., Jan. 1, 1926
To the Board of Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor: Gentlemen:
I submit herewith the 24th annual report of the accounting de- partment showing the financial transactions of the several Town departments.
The growth of our Town, calling for greater expenditures each year, makes it impractical to report in such detail the expen- ditures of the several municipal departments as has been custo- mary in previous years. The classification as given very closely conforms to that required by the State. Should any further de- tail be needed it will be given by this office.
The increase in our levy from year to year places considerable responsibility on those charged with the collection and expendi- ture of public funds. The Tax Collector occupies a position in this branch of service which calls for such a responsibility, and the report of the State examiners this year is evidence that the Town of Weymouth is receiving efficient service in tax collections.
The books of the Tax Collector were thoroughly audited by this office and the amounts outstanding verified by mailing notices to parties appearing to have balances unpaid. Having received no replies to the contrary I am satisfied that the books are correct. The collections on commitments of 1919, 1920, 1921 and 1922 were
$675739.88
231
completed during 1925, and at this writing there is less than $1,000 due on the commitment of 1923.
All cash balances have been verified at least once a month by comparison with the records of the Weymouth Trust Company and the First National Bank of Boston, having always been found cor- rect. .
During the year final payment was made on the Hunt School- house and the 1920 Macadam Pavement Loan, while the year 1926 will see the final payment on the James Humphrey Schoolhouse for which a sufficient sum is in the Sinking Fund.
While our net debt has been increased by $61,584.26, the bor- rowing capacity of the Town has nevertheless increased through additional valuation to $289,603.60, an increase over last year of $90,620.99.
The audit by the Commonwealth under the supervision of Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts, made during the past summer was particularly gratifying in view of the many cases of municipal mismanagement revealed elsewhere in this State. In the report to the Selectmen it is stated that the accounts of the Town were found correct, and such recommendations as were made are having consideration.
I have prepared the balance sheet of the Town accounts in a somewhat different form than heretofore, and information is giv- en that will no doubt be of interest to the citizens.
The gross surplus of the Town as of Dec. 31, 1925 was $178,- 913.83, which makes available after deductions for uncollected tax- es, the sum of $35,821.26 which may be used by the Assessors, if so voted by the Town, in establishing the tax rate for 1926.
The securities of the Town, in posession of the Town Treasur- er, were examined and found in order.
Legislation now pending before the General Court, if passed, will call for a closer supervision and greater control of municipal expenditures by city auditors and town accountants who are charged with the responsibility of seeing that the public funds are taken care of and expended as the people vote and as statute re- quires. Consideration must soon be given to the necessity of bet- ter office arrangements if the efficiency of the several departments of Town Government is to be maintained.
The co-operation of your board and other department heads this past year has assisted materially in expediting the work of this department.
Respectfully, EMERSON R. DIZER, Town Accountant
