MARGARET A. HYLAND
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISION OF WELFARE LABOR
January 15, 1934.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
In addition to my appointment as inspector of building I also re- ceived from your Honorable Board the assignment of supervisor of welfare labor.
This work consists of the responsibility for man hours in work equal to the amount of assistance granted at the ratio established by the town, keeping records of the same, and the direction of trucks and other equipment necessary to carry out this work.
As it is a new function of the town I believe definite plans for its operation should be established and maintained, but not with the idea of creating a new department; rather for the purpose of coping with certain conditions as long as they continue to exist.
At this time I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation given me by the Board of Selectmen. The street department was most cooperative also in the manner in which the use of equipment was planned to the end that no job suffered for lack of it.
The following is a summary of expenditures of the Public Works $20,000.00 fund in connection with this work:

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF BUILDING
January 22, 1934.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The year 1933 was slightly better than 1932, the increase in as- sessable valuation of 1933 being approximately 20 per cent greater than 1932; the increase in receipts approximately 5 per cent.
I believe some changes should be made in the Building Code, es- pecially governing roofing material and private garage construction. I have learned that many municipalities allow the use of wood shingles for roofing material except where fire districts are defined, and Wey- mouth having no fire districts I should recommend the use of wood shingles be permitted. Regarding garage construction for private use it is necessary, according to our code. to employ the same construction as would be necessary for an apartment dwelling.
Indications now are that this department will be successful in the removing of some buildings harmful to their respective communities.
This office has been used, as well as the time of the inspector, in a supervisory capacity over welfare labor, which absorbed considerable effort. A separate report will go into detail on this subject.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY
To the Citizens of the Town of Weymouth:
At the annual Town Meeting held March 6, 1933 it was voted under Article 1, Item 34
257
That a committee of nine be appointed from the several veteran and hereditary organizations in accordance with the provisions of Gen- eral Laws (Ter. Ed.), Chapter 40, Section 5, Clause 12, by the Mod- erator, who shall designate the Chairman.
The following committee was appointed:
Commander T. John Evans, Reynolds Post 58, G. A. R. Adjutant Waldo Turner, Renyolds Post 58, G. A. R. Commander John Walsh, Wessagusset Post 1399, V. F. W. Frank Chubbuck, Wessagusset Post 1399, V. F. W.
William B. Chalke, Jr., Secretary of Committee Commander Karl O'Neil, Weymouth Post 79, A. L., Chairman Alfred C. Sheehy, Weymouth Post 79, A. L. William J. Holbrook, Sons of American Revolution Arthur G. Taylor, Sons of American Revolution
The committee organized May 4, 1933. Weekly meetings during the month of May were well-attended and harmonious. But for a few minor changes the program of previous years was followed. Parade formed at Hurley Square, North Weymouth, Basil Warren, P. C. Wey- mouth Post 79, A. L., Chief Marshal, for march to Old North Ceme- tery. Services and decoration of graves at the various cemeteries in the usual order, followed by assembly at Commercial Square. Parade to Civic Center with Town Officials and Town Colors, Veteran Or- ganizations with full complement of colors, Auxiliaries, Hereditary Organizations, Patriotic Societies, and Boy and Girl Scouts in line. Pa- triotic exercises in the Lieut. Ralph Talbot Theatre under the direc- tion of Reynolds Post 58, G. A. R., followed by dinner in the High School Cafeteria. The entire program met with the approval of the surviving members of Reynolds Post 58, G. A. R.
Music for the day was furnished by Weymouth Post 79, A. L. Band, Wessagusset Post 1399, V. F. W. Fife and Drum Corps, Wey- mouth Post 79, A. L. Drum and Bugle Corps and the Drum Corps of Troop 2, Boy Scouts of America and a Junior Drum Corps of James L. Bates Camp, S. U. V.
A flag and a floral tribute was placed on each veteran's grave. Me- morial monuments throughout the town were suitably decorated. Pur- chases of decorations and arrangements for transportation were made through competitive bidding. Expenditures were less than the amount appropriated., A statement of expenses will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.
The committee expresses its appreciation to the Police Depart- ment for the able handling of traffic, to the School Department for the use of the High School Cafeteria, to the W. R. C. and the various Auxiliaries for the preparation and serving of the dinner, and to the citizens of the Town of Weymouth for the respect, order and decorum observed throughout the day.
Respectfully submitted,
KARL O'NEIL, Chairman.

REPORT OF COLLECTOR FOR WATER DEPARTMENT 1933
To the Board of Water Commissioners:
A study of a graph chart of the monthly receipts of the water rates from January 1928 to December 1933 shows very clearly the extent to which the depression has taken its toll of the property own- ers of our town and likewise the extent to which the water department is bearing its share of the welfare relief in the community.
The decline in revenue from a monthly average collection of over $9,000 in 1929 to an average of less than $7,000 in 1933, explains the present large uncollected balance which has reached a new high mark.
It is somewhat encouraging to note that the low mark was passed in February and March and that there has been a gradual but fairly steady improvement in response to requests to at least keep pace with current water charges. As the year comes to a close there are several hopeful signs that the large amount of water revenue which is frozen now in tax title properties, vacant property, from which the service is now shut off, and property owned by welfare recipients whose allow- ance does not include enough to pay for water, will soon be liquidated. Among these encouraging features are the C. W. A., the P. W. A., the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, the slight improvement in private industry, the redemption of old tax titles (which usually carry a siz- able water bill) and the expression of our customers who have been extended leniency in the matter of payment that they appreciate the attitude of the department and regard the arrears charges as a moral obligation which they will meet, without the necessity of legal meas- ures, as soon as they again find employment.
For those who do not realize their obligation to pay when their condition is improved the collector must invoke the agencies provided by law.
This he will do as fast as the personal canvass of our seven thou- sand customers, in which he is now engaged, reveals the cases which merit such action.
I thank the Commissioners, other town officials, the Superintend- ent and employees of the water department and the assistants in my own office for the co-operation shown in my difficult and none too pleasant task.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWIN R. SAMPSON, Collector.
