REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Weymouth:
Unemployment has made greater demands for assistance the last year than ever before, and we receive the same reports all over the state, while some cases are citizens from the outside, we feel that the reports show that they are worthy cases. The children are not to blame for the conduct of their parents and we cannot see the children suffer.
We have aided 108 families consisting of 462 persons that have a settlement in Weymouth. We have also aided for other cities, towns and state 41 families, consisting of 223 persons.
Miss Margaret Hyland was appointed Welfare Worker. She in- vestigates every case and reports to the Board and we feel that her judgment is excellent and her work commendable.
Mr. and Mrs.' Clifford A. Berry still continue as Superintendent and Matron of our Town Infirmary. They have proven themselves worthy of the positions they hold. The Town should congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Berry for the way and manner that they have conducted our Town Infirmary.

REPORT OF VISITOR FOR BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
During the year 1928, under the direction of the Board of Public Welfare, I have continued visiting the families receiving aid and those calling for aid.
I have made 272 calls in the different parts of the Town; have had many calls at my office and numerous telephone calls.
Owing to the present unemployment condition existing in Wey- mouth, illness, widowhood, old age and men not earning enough to maintain their homes, unparalleled demands are being made for aid. Considerable time has been given to each applicant applying for aid to ascertain the true situation and need of each family, as well as to their settlement.
Young married men, eager and able to work to support their families, have been unable to find positions, and the Board has can- vassed the Town seeking employment for them before giving aid.
A written report of each visit has been made weekly by me to the Board of Public Welfare.

WEYMOUTH INFIRMARY REPORT FOR 1928
(Formerly Known as Town Home)
To the Honorable Board of Public Welfare:
I herewith submit annual report of the Weymouth Infirmary for the year 1928.
There are three women and thirteen men residing at the Infirmary. The following table shows the details for the entire year:
Number of residents January 1, 1928 15
Number admitted during the year 7
9
Number discharged during the year
1
Loss by death
Number of residents December 31, 1928 16
George Alden Nash, who had lived at the Home about thirty years, died on November 5, 1928.
With two exceptions, the men and women are in fairly good phy- sical condition and those who are able to do some work, are very help- ful in general work about the farm. A very successful garden last summer furnished us with green vegetables and some winter vegetables. The purchase of a small flock of chickens last Spring, proved a very satisfactory investment.
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
The old barn, which was sold, has been demolished. A two-car Garage has been built with a large portion of the work being done by ourselves. The old weather vane was saved and tops the garage.
GIFTS: In th men's club room, known as the Smoke House, a radio with speaker has been installed, also a small one-tube radio in the Infirmary for the use of the men who cannot leave their room. These are the gifts of individuals interested in the Infirmary and add greatly to the comfort of the men as well as being of mental benefit. Other gifts from public spirited individuals include dahlia bulbs and bedding plants which make it possible at small expense to beautify the
260
grounds during the summer. To all the donors our hearty thanks has been extended.
Christmas was celebrated with a tree and party on Christmas Eve, with the kind assistance of members of your honorable Board, with the regulation feast on Christmas Day. Practical gifts and goodies were donated to the men and women by thoughtful citizens and organiza- tions, and were much appreciated. We wish here to publicly thank all who co-operated with Mrs. Berry and myself in bringing Christmas cheer to the family at the Infirmary.
In closing my second annual report, I wish to thank the members of the Welfare Board for theiir helpful co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, CLIFFORD A. BERRY, . Superintendent.
East Weymouth, December 31, 1928 FOUTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE WEYMOUTH VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION
Another year, perhaps one of the most strenuous years of our existence has drawn to a close, and we find ourselves established in our permanent home in our new Municipal Building. This last year, with our added expense of maintaining a clinic room, has kept us all on our toes and there have been many card parties, food sales and entertainments given. We have managed to keep our heads above water but we start the new year in little harder circumstances than usual. This is due partly to the fact that our Annual drive for mem- bership was postponed this year from fall to spring, hoping for more success when there were fewer drives and calls on the public ..
Our Child Welfare Clinic, entering on its fourth year, has grown steadily. Clinics have been held every week with scarcely an excep- tion. The Child Welfare Committee has been very regular in having two women there weekly to help the nurse and Doctor Fitzgerald. We were very happily situated in our clinic rooms in Jackson Suare, but when we heard that our request for rooms in the new Town Office Building had been granted we were more than delighted. We feel that now the Town recognizes that we are a part of it and that we are striving to help better the conditions among our townspeople.
In the spring it was thought best by all to turn our Nurse's car in and get a new one. The Pontiac people gave us the best offer and so in April we purchased a Pontiac Coupe. In May we had our regular Tag Day with Mrs. Menchin in charge. The date was changed on account of so many Tag Days coming in June.
Eleven monthly meetings of the Board of Directors have been held with our faithful and energetic president, Mrs. Stevens presiding. Our two nurses, Mrs. Pratt and Miss Wilbur have carried on faithfully.
Fifty-one clinics have been held with the attendance for the year
261
reaching a total of 1179 babies. Of these 183 were new during the year 1928. The largest number cared for was 36 in one day in October.
660 patients were cared for by the nurses during this year, with a total of 5603 calls. Of these patients 72 were Tubercular cases; 148 were Metropolitan Life Insurance cases and 62 were John Hancock Life Insurance cases.
2752 of these calls were free calls with 273 patients helped and 91 families.
Respectfully submitted, ELIZABETH JONES LUNT, Secretary.
Report of the Electric Lighting Committee
Weymouth, Dec. 31, 1928.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen -
Your Committee, with the approval of the Town Counsel, renewed our contract, with a few minor revisions, with the Weymouth Light and Power Co. to continue one year to April 1, 1929.
The important event of the year was the signing of a supplementary agreement whereby all 40 c.p. lamps were discontinued and replaced with 60 c.p. lamps. As about 1200 of our 1300 light are of this var- iety, we are now receiving nearly 50 per cent more light. Also by this agreement the prices of all lamps were reduced so that the total addi- tional cost to the Town was under $300. and we were able to do this well within our appropriation of $31,000.
During the year, we have placed in Columbian, Commercial Jackson and Lincoln Squares, 24 new 1000 c.p. bracket lights. We now have 49 of these fixtures which cost $95.00. per year. We also have install- ed about 100 60 c.p. lights whose yearly cost is $20.90. We have, after trial of different types of fixtures, installed 15 Boulevard Lights on Bridge Street between Quincy Bridge and Bicknell Square. We are using a 250 c.p. bulb in these fixtures and they are giving reasonable satisfaction.
We recommend the following budget for 1929. Maintenance of present lights $32116.06
125 new 60 c.p. lights (6 months) $ 1306.25
$33422.31

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
January 1, 1929
The Board organized March 19, 1928, with the election of Frank H. Torrey as chairman, George E. Bicknell, clerk and John H. Stetson, treasurer.
The appointments for the year were as follows: Superintendent, Fred O. Stevens Registrar and Collector, Marshall T. Tirrell; Town Accountant, Emerson R. Dizer.
The new additional services have been nearly equal to 1926 and 1927.
For details, see report as submitted by the Superintendent.
The Town of Weymouth, on March 7, 1927, under Article 56, in the warrant for the annual Town Meeting, accepted the following Act:
To see if the Town will accept the provisions of Chapter 391, Acts of 1923, as amended by Chapter 413, Acts of 1924, making water rates a lien on the property
It is important that the owner as well as the purchaser of real estate, inform himself as to any lien that may have been placed upon the property before any deeds are passed.
The Registrar and Collector will furnish such information.
The most important and difficult work before the Board at the present time is the acquisition of the land bordering Great Pond, for the purpose of water supply protection.
We find that there has been some misunderstanding as to the scope of this work and the methods employed and we wish if possible, in this report, to make the entire matter clear.
It is not necessary at this time to consider the advisability of taking the land. The taking has been urged for years by this board, the State Department of Health, the local Board of Health, the Planning Board and a large majority of the citizens of the town.
In 1927, at the request of Finance Committee we prepared a plan for financing this taking from the income of the water department by means of a bond issue of $15,000 per year for ten years, the interest on these bonds, funds for their retirement, and any additional cash required to complete the takings, to come from the revenue of the de- partment.
By this plan the entire purchase is financed by the water depart- ment without resort to the tax levy.
The annual meeting of 1927 authorized the purchase or taking of about 41 acres on the shore parallel to Pond street. This was approved by the Department of Public Health and the matter of the purchase turned over to the Town Counsel.
On the matter of price he found, as expected, a wide difference of opinion. Some owners set a price which seemed to us entirely rea- sonable and with these, nine in number, a prompt settlement was made. Others seemed a trifle high and their cases were left open for further discussion. A few of the owners set prices that were entirely unreasonable, and it has seemed from the start that these cases would eventually have to go to a jury.
We felt it our duty to obtain control of these properties as soon as possible, and so, early in February 1928, filed a taking on the entire 41 acres.
In filing this taking it was necessary to name some amount as an award and on advice of counsel we used, merely as a nominal figure, the assessed valuation; not with any intent to seek a settlement at
266
this extremely low figure, but with the understanding that the matter of price was still open for discussion and adjustment.
It should be obvious that the sole aim and desire of this Board is to determine if possible the full just value of these properties and to settle accordingly.
This determination of fair value is the difficult feature of the entire project. The assessed valuation is admittedly low. Due to the re- strictions of the State Department of Health in effect since 1903, the property nearest the shore cannot have the value of unrestricted shore property. Recent booms in real estatee, now somewhat deflated, have given, we think, some mistaken conceptions of the real value of land for development purposes.
Our disposition is, to meet the land owners a little more than half way, and even in cases which come to trial there is no reason why the contest should not be a friendly one.
The annual Town Meeting of March, 1928, authorized the purchase or taking by eminent domain of a strip of land of varying width, prac- tically encircling the pond and including, with a few minor exceptions the entire area needed for water supply protection.
The State Department of Health approves this project in general and stands ready to give its specific approval of each parcel as ac- quired.
It is the intention of the Board to acquire immediately such por- tions of this larger area as are offered at a reasonable price. We have at present several such offers which will be taken up as soon as the necessary formalities have been complied with.
We request the following appropriations from our income of the coming year :
