April 1, five men were appointed to the department making 24 hour service in all parts of the town excepting one route which is covered from 8 A. M. to 3 A. M.
Recommendations: At the next annal meeting an article has been placed in the warrant for the first consideration of installing . the police signal system.
My thanks are due to Dr. John Bastey of North Weymouth, for the many hours he has given freely to the department in the instruction of the use of firearms. And his efforts were greatly rewarded when four men from this department went to Wakefield, and competed against the best shots of New England and bringing home the trophy as champions.
I wish to thank the Honoarble Board for their assistance they have given, and to all members of the department for the faithful performance of their many duties.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR H. PRATT, Chief of Police.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass., Jan. 25, 1928
"To the Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Welfare,
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith the 26th annual report of the accounting department showing the financial transactions of the several branches of town activities.
The department has verified all payments of public funds and it has given considerable satisfaction to note that department heads, with one or two exceptions, have incurred no liabilities in excess of their appropriations.
The greatest source of income in any municipality is, of course, through the medium of taxes. The collector this year was charged with the collection of $932,232.21 as taxes on property and polls. The balance uncollected on 1927 taxes as of December 31, 1927, was $208,042.92, which has been reduced at the time of this report to less than $184,000.00. The small balances on the 1924 and 1925 accounts are prior claims against individuals pe- titioned into bankruptcy and will be taken care of when the pro- ceedings in bankruptcy are concluded. The books of the tax col- lector have been audited and verified by sending notices to those whose accounts show a balance due the town. No one has ques- tioned the statements, so I am satisfied that the books are correct.
All cash balances have been verified as required by law and have always been found correct.
July 1, 1927, the final payment was made of the notes issued for the Permanent Construction of Highways. The balance in the James Humphrey Schoolhouse Sinking Fund was transferred to the account for the payment of Notes and Bonds. This transac- tion closed out the last Sinking Fund the town was carrying.
As a result of the authorization to borrow $433,000 in 1927 the borrowing capacity of the town has been reduced to $210,001.99 which shows a healthy condition, however, when it is considered that the town has never sought special legislation to borrow out- side the debt limit.
The Balance Sheet, Debt Statement, Municipal Property Ac- count and Recapitulation of Appropriation Accounts are appended to and made a part of this report.
The gross surplus of the town as of Decefber 31, 1927, was $208,683.34.
The last annual town meeting instructed me as a committee of one to investigate and consider the establishment of a municipal building insurance fund, under General Laws, Chap. 40, Sec. 13, in place of carrying a blanket policy on all town property as is the present method of protection.
As a result of my investigation I believe that the present method is for the best interests of the town. The fire loss in Weymouth has been small on its public property, yet we have lost our Town Hall andTown Home, suffered losses in Schoolhouses and Engine Houses, as well as losing personal property.
184
The establishment of a municipal building insurance fund under Chap. 40 gives a municipality the privilege of appropriating one-twentieth of one per cent. of its valuation in any one year to be placed in the fund. The fund can be allowed to accumulate until it reaches, but does not exceed, one per cent. of the valuation of the town. If Weymouth had decided to establish such a fund there could be appropriated in 1928 the sum of $18,601, and assum- ing that the valuation remained constant it would take twenty years to accumulate the limit allowed, or $370,025.
This would mean that in case of the total loss of any of our public buildings within a few years after the establishment of the fund, the amount accumulated would not be sufficient to cover the loss.
The present rate of insurance allows the town to cover its en- tire property for about $6000 a year.
The policy of other cities and towns in Massachusetts has been to place the risk of losing its property by fire with reliable fire insurance companies, and very few municipalities have estab- lished a municipal building insurance fund.
I believe that the town should be protected against loss by fire at all times and that the blanket policy similar to the one in operation at the present time is best for the town.
Should anyone desire further details regarding the finances of the town, other than those appearing in this report, I should be pleased to have him visit me in the office at any time.
Respectfully,
EMERSON R. DIZER, Town Accountant.
