COLLECTION OF GARBAGE


The Town voted at the annual town meeting that the Select- men should advertise for sealed bids for the collection of garbage. This was done and the contract was awarded to Edward M. & Leo Dwyer, price $11,000 for one year. The work has been done in a very satisfactory manner and they have tried to remedy all mistakes that may have been made, having called the Town Office every day and if any was overlooked they attended to the sâme at once.


On August 19th 1929 John F. Dwyer was appointed Inspector of Animals. This appointment was made on account of the death of Daniel Sullivan who has served the Town faithfully in that position for many years.


A Special Meeting of the Selectmen was called October 9th 1929 on account of the death of Chief of the Fire Department John Q. Hunt who died in action October 8th.


Merton L. Loud Deputy Chief was appointed acting Chief. All flags were ordered at half mast until after the funeral and the Engine Houses ordered draped for thirty days.


The following resolutions were passed:


John Q. Hunt, Chief of the Weymouth Fire Department, died while engaged in the performance of his official duties on October 8th ·1929. Like his uncle, whose name he bore and who fell gallantly in battle at Petersburg, Chief Hunt met his death in the unswerv- ring and faithful discharge of his duty. As Chief of the Fire Depart ment, he was noted for his energy and his desire to build up and improve the department along the lines which seemed to him to make for the greatest efficiency. Even those who differed from him in matters of detail acknowledged bis zeal and fidelity in the work in which he was engaged. In his death the Fire Department has lost an efficient head and the Town of Weymouth a faithful public officer. The Board of Seletmen gratefully place on record this tribute to his memory and his sterling qualities.


On November 12th J. Ralph Bacon was appointed Chief of the Fire Department.


Merle V. Cain was appointed Harbor Master, he resigned and Anthony S. Veader was appointed in his place.


This report is incomplete on account of the sudden death of our clerk, Winslow M. Tirrell, and the need of getting the copy to the printer of the Town Report on time.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF ALEWIVE FISHERIES


44 High Street East Weymouth, Massachusetts, January 1, 1930.


Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth:


East Weymouth, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen:


I herewith submit my fifth annual report as superintendent of the Alewive Fisheries in the Town of Weymouth for the year ending December 31, 1929.


Work was started on March 21 and continued until approxi- mately 75,000 alewives were deposited in Whitman's Pond for spawning.


The run this year was not as good as the four previous years as a result of heavy rains which continued during the run. High water prevented the catch to some extent, as there were days on which it was impossible to catch at all, as the water at the. upper dam could not be shut down on account of the overflow of Whitman's Poud.


The building is in a fairly good condition. The brook has been cleaned and in some places it has been widened to take care of the flow of water. The brush along the brook has been re- moved which was greatly needed.


In closing my report I wish to extend my sincere thanks to you, the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the Weymouth Light and Power Company, and the Weymouth Wool Scouring Company . for the help and co-operation given me during the season.


Respectfully submitted,


F. H. MAGUIRE Jr.
