meadow for the purpose of allowing the ground water to reach the out-Jet faster. This may not solve the problem, if not, the only al- ternative is to relay the out-let drain with a larger pipe at a lower depth. $8,000.00 was appropriated for acquiring the land and doing the work. $7,510.10 was expended. :
Lakeside Avenue Foot Bridge.
This bridge was built across the out-let of Whitmans Pond near the end of Iron Hill Street. The old bridge was in a dangerous condition. The new bridge consists of steel girders set on stone foundations and is 90 feet long by 7 feet wide. Three inch hard pine planks were used for flooring and a 4 foot chain link fence used for guard rails the length of the bridge. This bridge is used by a great number of people and is built to last a long time. The total cost was $1,583.15
Middle Street Widening
$4,397.75 was expended on widening Middle Street from Wash- ington Street to Centre Haven. The grade and lines were mater- ially changed and the road resurfaced with gravel and tar ready to receive a permanent surface. 6,667 square yards of road sur- face was so treated and a gravel sidewalk built on one side. I would recommend that if any appropriation for permanent construction is made that it be expended to continue this work. Wessagusset Road.
$8.00.00 was appropriated to resurface a portion of the road ad- jacent to the new sea wall but due to the lateness of the season only part of the work was done. The work will be completed in the Spring.

RECOMMENDATIONS
A small gasoline roller six or eight ton is badly needed also a two and one half ton truck to replace an old Netco that has been run for nine years. I also believe that the showing made with asphalt sidewalks warrants a liberal extension of this work.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON WARD 2 FIRE STATION
To the Board of Selectmen:
Carrying out the vote of the town meeting March 4, 1929, plans, specifications and competitive bids were obtained for a fire station in Ward Two.
Following the meeting of 1930, a contract was signed with J. J. Gallagher Construction Company and work started.
The station is now practically completed and equipped and will soon be turned over to the Town, being finished within the ap- propriation.
We regret that during construction two members of the com -- mittee died, Chief John Q. Hunt and Selectman Winslow M. Tir- rell.

REPORT OF MASSACHUSETTS BAY TERCENTENARY COMMITTEE
January 15, 1931
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
In June the former Chairman of this Committee resigned and the Moderator appointed Howard M. Dowd to fill the vacancy. Two members of the Committee had previously prepared resignations but at the solicitation of the new Chairman consented to withhold the same. In as much as the Town had already committed to a cele- bration in September and had invited guests to be present, there remained less than three months to make all the arrangements and the Committee worked under pressure during the entire summer.
In view of the lack of time the Committee decided it was wise to modify some of the earlier tentative plans that had been made and accordingly the celebration was made to center around a his- torical pageant illustrating scenes in Weymouth's history on the 9th, 11th and 13th days of September.
September 9th was designated as "Governor's Night", and al- though his Excellency, the Governor, was at the last moment pre- vented by illness from attending, he was represented by Secretary of State, Frederic W. Cook and there were also many prominent officials in County, State and Town affairs present.
The invited guests were received at the Town Hall by a recep- tion Committee and conducted to Cain's Grill where dinner was served, after which, all returned to the Town Hall escorted by a squad of motorcycle police and a detachment of cavalry. Preceding the pageant remarks were made by the Chairman of the Committee, Honorable George L. Barnes, and Honorable Frederic W. Cook, Secretary of State.
Thursday, September 11th was designated as "Army and Navy Night" and representatives from the First Naval District, First Corp Area United States Army, and Massachusetts National Guard were present.
Saturday, September 13th was designated as "War of 1812 Day" in as much as the general society of the War of 1812 had sometime previously accepted an invitation of the Town to hold its bi- annual national meeting in Weymouth on that date. Delegations were present from all the northeastern cities and paid a high tri- bute to the hospitality of the Town and the beauty of the Civic Center.
Dr. James D. Iglehart, of Baltimore, Maryland, was introduced to the assembled audience by Colonel Frederic G. Bauer, a mem- ber of the Committee and Vice-president of the Society of the War of 1812 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and made a brief address.
This pageant was the first function to be given in the open air auditorium. Many of the citizens who had not before appreciated the possibilities of our Civic Center were present at the pageant and spoke in the highest terms of the beauty and utility of this feature of our Civic Center. In as much as souvenir programs were distributed to every house in the Town it was unnecessary to go into detail as to the historical scenes presented. Many of them
183
were written from contemporary sources which were discovered and brought to light by the researches necessary in connection with the War Memorial and their presentation would have been impos- sible had it not been for historical data thus obtained.
So far as the Committee is aware, no adverse criticism was made either by the Townspeople or outsiders, all spoke in the highest way of this celebration.
The Committee wishes to express its gratitude to all persons, citizens of the Town and outsiders who contributed in any way to, the success of the celebration.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON GOLF COURSE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
About three years ago the Town Meeting Members appoint- ed a Committee to look into the advisability of a Golf Course for the Town of Weymouth. Your Committee have given a lot of time, study and thought to the proposition, and to that end have selected a site with the co-operation of the Park Department, at Wey- mouth Heights, which the Committee and also the Park Depart- ment believe is ideal for the purpose. This property is so located, in our opinion it would take many years before a profitable valua- tion from a taxable standpoint could possibly occur. From the class of development in the immediate vicinity of this property, it did not appear to the Committee the kind of development that the Town desires. Whereas the building of a Golf Course and other recreational facilities will give an opportunity for our citizens to indulge in an ever increasing sport at a very low fee, and add a feature to our Town which would put Weymouth in the group of progressive Cities and Towns, aiming for the welfare of her citizens. We unanimously recommend with the unanimous vote of the Park Department, that this project be accepted by the Town and that work be started immediately, giving employment to heads of families which in many cases would have to apply to the Select- men for aid. Saving a considerable sum of money for the Welfare Department, we believe, which would reduce the cost of this project a great deal. And to that end and by vote of the Town for this project at our last Town Meeting, we procured the services of Stiles & Van Kleek, Golf Architects who have laid out eighteen
184
holes, which if accepted by the Town, we propose to build nine holes at once which would be ready to use by October 1, 1931, at an estimate cost of about $25,000.00 by using unskilled labor. And from authentic information which we have of other Cities and Towns we propose that the care and maintenance and the building of the second nine holes would be entirely completed and taken care of from the earnings of the first nine holes.
The Committee to a man have every confidence that this pro- gram can be carried out so satisfactorily that if there are any of our citizens who have had doubts, that after two years time will be as enthusiastic and as proud of Weymouth's Golf Course as your Committee is after three years of careful investigation into this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH KELLEY, Chairman JOHN HEFFERNAN, Secretary. P. J. DERRIG STANLEY HEALD GEORGE W. PERRY C. E. STILES HENRY P. TILDEN Golf Committee.
REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS REGARDING TAKING LAND FOR GOLF AND PARK PURPOSES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Park Commissioners wish to report on the doings in the taking of the land at Weymouth Heights for Golf and Park pur- poses. This matter is being intelligently handled by our Town Coun- sel, Mr. Bauer, and we feel that a very reasonable and satisfactory price will be obtained through his efforts.
We strongly recommend and advise that the Town secure this property at this price as it will add to the Town a project which will not only return in our opinion an income to the Town, and give work to the unemployed that might otherwise have to be supported through the Welfare Department, and lend an opportuni- ty to many hundreds of our citizens the privilege of an ever grow- ing recreation at a very small cost on a property of small taxable valuation at the present time. And from the surrounding real es- tate development it would appear that it would be a long time for other developments. Again urging from our best judgement, the pur- chase or taking of this land at this time, we beg to remain
Very respectfully, FRANCIS W. REA CHARLES H. BURGESS JOSEPH KELLEY Park Commissioners

REPORT OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHTING COMMITTEE
Weymouth, Mass., December 31, 1930
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
In accordance with the vote of the Town and with the ap- proval of the Town Counsel, we entered into a contract with the Weymouth Light and Power Company to light the streets for one year ending April 1, 1931 under the same specifications and rates as in the preceding year.
As ordered by the Town Meeting, we have located two 1000 C.P. lamps at Legion Field, and have installed about 75 other lights, bringing our total number to nearly 1500. We have pro- vided adequate lighting on all newly accepted streets, and have been able to comply with most of the requests for better lighting in various locations.
The smallest light, and the one most commonly used, is of 60 C.P. and costs $20.90 per year while the largest is of 1000 C.P. and costs $95.00 per year. In the former the fixture is furnished by the company and the cost included in the figure given; but the larger 1000 C.P. light is used in ornamental fixtures exclusively and the figures given is for operation only, as the Town furnishes the fixtures. Our monthly bill is now over $3000, about one sixth of which is for the support of sixty-two 1000 C.P. lights.
Each member of the committee is now provided with a map of this section of the Town on which is shown the location and candle power of each light; and also with a list of streets showing the number of lights on each and the number necessary to bring. the lighting up to our usual standard of efficiency.
We recommend the following budget for the year 1931:
Maintenance of present service. $36,944
100 new 60 C.P. lights or their equivalent (six months service .1,045
37,989

REPORT OF THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
December 31, 1930
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Wey- mouth :
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1930 with the sealing fees amounting to $379.96.
During the year 23 Fish, Fruit and Vegetable licenses were: granted at $10. each, 12 Junk licenses at $25. each.
186
There were two convictions made during the year both for peddling without a license. They were both found guilty and paid fines. I wish to call to your attention the statue law relative to pedlers of Fish, Fruit and Vegetables of which is often misunder- stood, if the goods are bought and sold over again by the agent a license is required to go from house to house; but if the vegeta- bles are raised by him, the fish obtained by his own labor or that of his family, or clams dug by his own hand, a license is not re- quired.
My general work for the year is as follows:
Sealed 4146 articles
Not sealed
139 articles
Condemned 10 articles
Gas Pumps 243 articles
Reweighings
406 articles
Respectfully submitted,

The work of the nurse includes the distribution of food, cloth- ing, Christmas dinners and toys to needy families made possible by the generosity of our friends and just as the need this year has been more than usually great so the response to meet it has been prompt and generous which we gratefully acknowledge and appre- ciate.
