REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass. January 23, 1940
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
Gentlemen :
Herewith is submitted the thirty-eighth annual report of the Accounting Department which sets forth the financial transactions of the Water De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1939.
A verification of the outstanding accounts was made at intervals during the year and as no question was raised relative to the correctness of any item I am satisfied that the records are accurate. All bank balances have been properly verified every month of the year.
The Water Surplus as of December 31, 1939 is $68,760.36, a reduction of $41,459.20 from that of the year before. It must be remembered, however, that the sum of $60.000 was used by vote of the Town to reduce the tax levy of 1939. The sum of $28,540.80 has been credited to Surplus Revenue representing the 1939 unexpended appropriation balances of $17.052.15 to- gether with $11,488.65, the excess of actual receipts over the estimate used when the budget was prepared.
The Net Debt has been reduced to $102,500. by the payment during the current year of $13,500.
Placing of liens on property for protection of the assets of the de- partment was continued in 1939. This assures the department against loss, and in my opinion the accounts receivable represent a sum which will be very nearly collected in full,
A decision relative to the liability of the department for the construc- tion of the Filtration Plant has been filed and will necessitate the appro- priation of funds to liquidate the award made.
I appreciate the co-operative efforts of your department.
Respectfully yours, EMERSON R. DIZER, Town Accountant.

Weymouth, Mass., January 23, 1940
I have examined the accounts of George E. Curtin, Treasurer and Col- lector of the Weymouth Water Department, and find them correct. The records of the Collector's Department have been checked with the Treasurer at least once each month during the year, and I am satisfied that both reports are correct.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY
To the Citizens of the Town of Weymouth :
At the Annual Town Meeting held on March 6th, 1939, it was voted under Article 1, Item 34, that a committee of nine be appointed by the Moderator from the various Veteran and Heredity organizations, in ac- cordance with the provisions of General Laws (Tercentenary Edition) Chap- ter 40, Section 5, Clause 12 as amended.
The following committee was appointed :
Henry B. Vogel, Commander Post No. 58, Grand Army of the Republic. (Honorary Chairman).
John R. Clifford, Commander Post No .. 1399, Veterans of Foreign Wars. (Chairman).
Arthur L. Tilton, S. V. Com. Post No. 1399, Veterans of Foreign Wars. Warren F. Fowler, Commander, Post No. 79, American Legion.
Everett T. Gardner, S. V. Commander, Post No. 79, American Legion.
Louis Cipullo, Commander, Chapter No. 36, Disabled War Veterans. Charles H. Burkett, Chapter No. 36, Disabled War Veterans.
Ernest A. Smith, Commander, Camp No. 36, Sons of Union Veterans.
Mrs. Harriet Fern, President, Tent No. 32, Daughters of U. Veterans.
The first meeting was held at the Town Hall, East Weymouth, on Wednesday, May 3rd, 1939. Ernest A. Smith, Commander of Camp No. 36, Sons of Union Veterans of C. W., was elected as Secretary of the Committee. Several additional meetings were held during the month of May at which your committee purchased supplies and perfected plans for the proper ob- servance of Memorial Day. Because of the late date the members received their appointment, it was found difficult to get in touch with people from whom it might be advisable to secure bids on some of the supplies, but this was accomplished to the best of our ability in the short time allowed.
It was voted that the Moderator be requested to appoint future com- mittees much earlier than in the past.
There seems to have been a general opinion of the members of this committee, that the time allowed to the Veterans for visitation of Schools, is too limited to allow the members of the different organizations interested, to secure representatives to visit the schools, in a two hour, one day al- lowance. In many of the Schools the pupils have been disappointed in not receiving a visit from the Veteran organizations. We hope that the School authorities will find a way to overcome that condition.
The graves of Veterans of all wars were decorated with potted plants or wreath. Flags were placed on each grave the week before Memorial Day, and renewed again just before Armistice Day. Public Squares and Monu- ments were decorated with wreaths and flags.
On Memorial Day the Veteran and Heredity organizations, with the Boy and Girl Scouts, assembled at Hurley Square (Thomas Corner) North Weymouth. Commander John R. Clifford acting as Chief Marshall, formed the parade. The American Legion Band and the Canadian Legion Band furnished the music, assisted by the Drum Corps of the Boy Scouts and the Fife and Drum Corps of the Sacred Heart Church. All Cemeteries were visited as usual and the parade was reviewed by the Honorary Chief Marshall, Commander Henry B. Vogel, from his residence on Cedar St., East Weymouth.
