REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
East Weymouth, Mass. January 15, 1932
The Board organized with the election of Frank H. Torrey as Chairman ; George E. Bicknell, Clerk and Edwin R. Sampson, Treas- urer, in place of John H. Stetson, who recently resigned after about forty-five years of service.
Appointments for the year were as follows :
Fred O. Stevens-Superintendent Marshall T. Tirrell-Registrar and Collector Emerson R. Dizer-Town Accountant
April 24th, last, the Board appointed Edwin R. Sampson (Treas- urer), as Collector for the department, his duties to commence May 7th, at a salary at the rate of $1,500. per year. -
Our Chairman Mr. Torrey, passing away early in July, after serving twenty-eight years as a member and Chairman of our board, necessitated the filling of the vacancy by a joint meeting of the board and the Selectmen.
Said meeting was held July 16th, and resulted in the appointment of Howard M. Dowd as a member, until the next.annual election.
On July 22nd, the board elected George E. Bicknell as Chairman, for the balance of the year, in place of Mr. Torrey, deceased.
Land takings at Great Pond have continued during the past year and we wish to continue takings as fast as finances will allow us to do so.
The standpipe, at Edison plant, has just been completed.
The following appropriations from our income are requested for the coming year :

REPORT OF THE ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass. January 21, 1932
To the Board of Water Commissioners : Gentlemen :
Herewith is submitted the thirtieth annual report of the Ac- counting Department showing the financial transactions of the Water Department for the year ending December 31, 1931.
The cash and securities of the Department have been examined as required by statute and found as reported.
The arrangement now in effect for handling the billing and col- lecting of water accounts has greatly improved the condition which existed heretofore. This office is now able to check the records of the department monthly with some degree of satisfaction, which has not been possible for a long time.
While the accounts are kept in a satisfactory manner, the in- crease from year to year in the item of uncollected bills compel's me to urge that prompt consideration be given this situation. A very determined and consistent effort should be made to collect the old accounts which have been allowed to accumulate in an unbusinesslike way. The financial stability of any municipality depends upon the ability to collect its revenue and pay bills promptly. The' amount due for water accounts is not conducive to a very favorable attitude being taken towards this condition.
The net debt of the department has been reduced to $115,500.00 and the surplus revenue increased to $47,177.46 during the year.
The co-operation of those in the service of the department has been most helpful in bringing about an improved condition.
Respectfully,
EMERSON R. DIZER Town Accountant.
