GOLF COMMITTEE REPORT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


We respectfully submit this report to you and to the Citizens of the Town, our findings in the subject matter of Golf.


For three years we have labored to bring before the people a comprehensive understanding, and to the best of our opinion and judgment the needs and value of such a project to the Town. And to that end we submit the following :


Location-At Weymouth Heights on Green Street, starting at a point just beyond the Gravel Pit, and extending on both sides in- cluding the property owned by Mr. Jones, Mr. Thompson and others. Extending back to the south to the land owned by the United States Government, comprising in all some one hundred and ten (110) acres more or less. Beautifully adapted for Park purposes and Golf.


In order to arrive at a price which was the command of the Town to your committee, it was necessary that this land be con- demned and a Commision appointed by the Court to place a value upon this property. This whole matter was taken care of by our Law Department through our Town Counsel, and through the very successful handling of this project a price was fixed at $25,985.00,


153


including two houses on Mr. Thompson's property which your com- mittee feel is a very reasonable price and should be accepted by the Town. We presume that the details of these findings will be sub- mitted to the Town by the Law Department.


The subject of developing the Golf Course at this time, your committee leave entirely with the wishes of our citizens.


However, we find after very carefully going into the matter of Municipal Golf, and under the statistical information from the United States Golf Association, we find that there is not a single instance where a Municipal Golf Course has not been self support- ing from the very start. And to that end and realization that work must be procured for our unemployed, we have secured from the Architect, figures which we are enclosing of the approximated es- timate for the construction of the first nine holes, showing how much of this work could be used for labor by our unemployed.


We are asking that articles be inserted in the warrant for the purchase of this land, and also for the building of the first nine holes. We feel that the loss of purchasing this land at this time would be a very serious mistake, and recommend unanimously that it be pur- chased. If the citizens feel that building of the first nine holes have got virtue enough to give to our unemployed work, properly super- vised, then we heartily endorse the building of these nine holes at once. If on the other hand our Honorable Appropriation Commit- tee in their judgment feel that this is not the proper time, then we, your committee think that their decision and the citizens decision is the proper thing to carry out.


We have worked and studied this proposition from every angle and feel sure that the Town will never regret going forward in a project we feel will be self supporting and more, and give to our citizens a very reasonable chance for healthful and wholesome recreation.


Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH KELLEY STANLEY HEALD JOHN W. HEFFERNAN CHARLES E. STILES PATRICK J. DERRIG HENRY TILDEN GEORGE W. PERRY

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEAL


East Weymouth, Mass.


December 31, 1931


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


The Board of Appeal has rendered decisions on many applica- tions presented to them for changes inconsistent with the require- ments of the building laws, the most important of which were for stores built on Broad Street near Jackson Square by Celia Kaiser Berned Zelman for the Economy and First National Stores respec- tively.


Section 727 of the Town by-laws, which imposes an 18-foot set back, allows the Selectmen to permit a first or second class building in a business district to be built at a less distance than 18 feet from the street on unanimous recommendation of the Board of Appeal, but goes on to provide that "no such recommendation shall be given if such erection would damage neighboring property or interfere with any plans then pending or under consideration for the develop- ment or widening of the way on which said building is located." In connection with the proposed widening of Broad Street, the Board of Appeal in the latter part of July was faced with the situ- ation where the Economy Stores had purchased a piece of land and were on the point of demolishing the old building and under the pro- visions of the by-laws might have been compelled to set back their building 18 feet behind the line of the buildings on such side. Ob- viously this would place the occupant of such a store at a great disadvantage as compared with his neighbors and yet the very pur- pose of the by-laws was to prevent people, in anticipation of a public improvement, erecting buildings which, if the improvement under


-


160


contemplation is ever carried out, will subject the Town to a heavy liability for damages. Although at the time this case came up, the Town Counsel was in a hospital for an operation, he devised a plan by which the owner would be allowed to build out to the present street line on signing an agreement to waive damages on the build- ing in case the Town widens the street. The Economy Stores gladly acceeded to this arrangement and offered to waive damages not only on the building but on the land as well in consideration of the value to them of the permission to build to the present line, and an agreement was accordingly executed to this effect. A few months later a similar application and agreement was made by Mr. Zelman, who is erecting the building to be occupied by the First National Stores. The plan thus devised will be of the greatest importance to the Town, and establishes a precedent of great public utility. Not only in the case of Broad Street, whose widening is now under con- sideration, but in the case of other streets where similar conditions may exist in the future, if abutters are to be allowed to build out to the street line without restriction the expense of ever making any general widening of our main business thoroughfares will be pro- hibitive. By the above plan, the abutter when he erects his build- ing can plan so that when the street is widened the subsequent changes will cause him a minimum of inconvenience and expense ; he is not placed at a disadvantage while waiting for the street to be widened; the extra income which he will get from the building while waiting for the street to be widened will, in most cases, more than compensate for the cost of altering the building to conform to the widening; and the Town will be able to make the widening at comparatively small expense. If this policy is adhered to, much of the property on Broad Street will in the natural course of events eventually be covered by similar agreements and by waiting a few years the widening, which would unquestionably benefit the business property on Broad Street, can be made without subjecting the Town to prohibitive expense or the abutters to betterments which would cripple them financially.


We recommend that these agreements be approved and that the Board of Selectmen be authorized to make similar agreements in any future cases which may arise.


Herewith is a summary of the records of the Board :


Applications approved 75


Applications conditionally approved 17


Applications partially approved 2

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,


Gentlemen :


I wish to submit the annual report of the activities of the Fire Department during the year ending December 31st, 1931.


This period has been an exceedingly busy one in so far as building fires being encountered. The alarms for fires are steadily increasing, and at times tax the Department to the utmost to over- come some trying conditions. Although the alarms for dwellings and other buildings have shown a decided increase, no one great loss has been experienced, which in itself speaks highly for the efficient work of the Department.


The amount of insurance losses have been considerably reduced, and due to the judicious and quick use of the salvage covers in this. type of fire, the amount of damage by fire and water has decreased almost to a minimum.


It is hoped that by continuing the use of such equipment as has. been added, that other losses will be averted.


The amount of property protected during fires is as follows :

The Department has been called upon to act in various emer- gencies throughout the year such as aiding in accidents, etc. It is my desire to have a Department so equipped as to be able and will- ing to render efficient aid and assistance to the citizens of the Town, at any hour of the day or night, in time of need, regardless of the situation which may confront it.

Inspections Made and Permits Issued


A great amount of additional duties have been added to the routine of the Department due to the necessity of obtaining a per- mit by all who desire to keep range or fuel oil upon their premises, also the certifying of each application to erect a private or public gar- age. Upon receiving these applications a personal inspection must be made of the location, and the necessary requirements have to be met with previous to granting such premits.


Inspections have been made in view of Fire Prevention and much good has been accomplished. It is my desire that every citizen will take upon himself to further advance this work by a thorough clean- ing up of his property.


A large number of new hydrants have been added to the water systems through the cooperation of Supt. Stevens of the Water De- partment and has aided greatly in the quick extinguishing of fires.

Apparatus and Equipment


It has been the pleasure of the Department to have a new Squad and Light Truck added to the equipment. This piece of apparatus has already proven its worth not only for the added booster equip- ment but also as to furnishing the flood lights at night fires. Lad- ders are more quickly raised and entrance to buildings made easier thereby getting to the seat of the fire and reducing much loss which was previously due to such delay.


The apparatus in service at present consists of :


Three (3) Seagrave 750 gallon Triple Combination Pumping Engines


One (1) Maxim 1,000 gallon Triple Combination Pumping Engine


Two (2) Seagrave City Service Ladder Trucks


One (1) American LaFrance Squad and Light Truck


One (1) Ford Model A Forest Fire Truck


One


(1) Chevrolet Forest Fire Truck


One


(1) Chevrolet Fire Alarm Truck


One


(1) White reserve truck .


One


(1) Hudson Sedan, Chief's Car


This apparatus is giving fine service and is maintained in first class shape, both painting and repairing being done by the men of the Department.


All miscellaneous equipment is in fine condition and is kept at a high standard.


Stations


Ward 1 station situated on Athens Street is very badly in need of repairs, especially to its heating plant which will need an extensive overhaul.


Ward 2 station on Broad Street is in very good condition, only minor maintainence needed.


Ward 3 station on Broad and Washington Streets is in fine re- pair with the exception of needing some painting in the interior.


Ward 5 station on Pleasant Street is not in very good condition as quite considerable amount should be expended to keep these quar- ters in repair.


165


In conclusion I wish to acknowledge with sincere appreciation and gratitude the splendid cooperation and assistance so generously rendered to myself and to my Department by the Honorable Board of Selectmen.


I extend my sincere thanks to the officers and men of my De- partment for the spirit shown and the fine morale maintained by them.


I also tender my thanks to Chief Butler of the Police Depart- ment and to his Patrolmen for the assistance rendered so willingly at all times.


To the heads and members of other Departments and to various Committees who have so generously aided in every way, and to each and every Citizen who has assisted in any way, I wish to ex- press my sincere appreciation.


Respectfully submitted, J. RALPH BACON Chief of Fire Department.

The many miles of outside wires are in good condition. The constant replacement of new poles has added much to the cost of upkeep due to the necessity of changing wires. There are 1,942 poles to which our lines are attached, this figure meaning it is nec- essary to maintain over 2,000 crossarms. I recommend that between 200 and 300 of these arms be replaced every year as they become unsafe.


Three of the old type boxes were replaced last year and I would advise that three of this type boxes be changed each year until all of these have been done away with.


Number three circuit of the system is at present being com- pelled to carry an extra heavy overload. This circuit should be divided into two separate circuits as soon as possible to prevent any possible trouble.

In closing I wish to extend my thanks to those who have co- operated with me during the past year, and to extend an invitation to all who may be interested to inspect our new equipment.


Respectfully submitted, C. F. COOLIDGE Supt. of Fire Alarm.
