REPORT OF TOWN ENGINEER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Weymouth, Gentlemen:
submit herewith my thirty-fourth annual report as Town I Engineer.
The continuation of the town survey work or the preparation of the Assessors' maps includes work at the Registry of Deeds, at Registry of Probate, and at the Land Court; surveys, location of buildings, replacement of worn tracings, and other necessary work and this has been continued during the year 1940, and maps revised to Jan. 1, 1941 are being prepared for the Assessors.
The block system of assessment adopted in 1939 and continued in 1940 is now standard and the sheets prepared for the 1941 assessments will be in that form.
The legal documents recorded or copied during 1940 including Land Court records will probably total approximately 1425 or an in- crease of nearly 15% over 1939.
I would again urge the importance of placing on record any legal document or any plan which affects the ownership of real property.
Before closing my report on the work done for the assessing de- partment of the town I would note that prints (to replace those lost during the removal to the present town hall, and others worn out by use) covering the years 1915 to 1935 both inclusive (21 years) are in process of completion and will shortly be on file at the Assessors office in three books, each book containing in sequence 7 years.
With those subsequent to 1935 already on file, it will then be pos- sible to examine and compare any part of the town as regards buildings, ownerships, etc., for a period of over a quarter of a century.
Should the town accept those streets which have been built, com- pletely graded, and on which many houses have been erected during the past year, and are now occupied, stone bounds should be set to mark and maintain the boundaries of said streets.
Included in the surveying or engineering work in 1940 for which surveys were made, lines given, grades established or other work done some of the major items are as follows:
Street lines; profiles; topography; project plans; curbs and side- walks; plans for drainage easements; grading work; street layouts o: widenings; street grades; drains; plan for Court purposes; testing location of houses for building inspector or board of appeal; plan to date of permanent sidewalks; municipal tennis courts; airport plan ; boundaries of town land; descriptions of land sold by the town, and other incidental work.
In closing may I extend to your Board, to all town officials, and to the citizens of Weymouth my thanks for the continued courtesy shown to me and to my assistants in our work throughout the town.
Respectfully submitted, RUSSELL H. WHITING, Civil Engineer.

WEYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS
1940
REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board organized with the election of Ralph P. Burrell as Chair- man and George E. Curtin, Clerk.
Sydney C. Beane was reappointed Superintendent.
Because of the lack of sufficient available funds, no additional pur- chases of land bordering the pond were made.
On account of the large number of homes built during the year, the demand for new services exceeded that of any year for some time past.
The rate of 25 cents per hundred cubic feet, established in 1939, was continued unchanged.
Board of Water Commissioners
RALPH P. BURRELL, Chairman GEORGE E. CURTIN, Clerk GEORGE W. PERRY BASIL S. WARREN SANDY ROULSTON
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
To the Board of Water Commissioners:
During the year 1940, the activities of the Water Department may be summarized as follows:
WATERSHED
Fire stops were cleared and widened, and some of the swamp areas were filled by W. P. A. labor. Improvements involving masonry walls and grading at the Randolph St. dam is also in progress.
POND
To further protect the water supply from possible pollution, the State Department of Public Health has revoked the authority of the Commis- sioners to permit fishing or going upon the ice.
The height of the water has remained at a favorable level throughout the year. On December 31, 1940, the elevation was 165 feet, which is 12 inches below spring maximum height.
FILTRATION PLANT
The grounds around the plant have been improved by the extension of lawn area around the coagulation basin, the addition of evergreen trees, and the completion of the riprap walls along the shore.
Within the pumping station the switchboard has been cleaned and overhauled, to include necessary repairs and spare parts.
In the chemical feeder room, all mechanical feeders have been com- pletely overhauled and repiped and spare parts supplied.
Through the co-operation of the Police Department, the police signal box within the plant keeps hourly contact during the night between filter operator and headquarters.
251
EMERGENCY PUMP AND BUILDING
All accessories to the emergency pump have been overhauled, and replacements made where required. Both the pump house and gate house have been put in repair.
WATER ANALYSIS
Both chemical and bacteriological analyses are made daily by the Water Department to control the purity of the drinking water. All harm- ful bacteria are removed by the filtration process. Analyses by the State Department of Public Health also report all tests negative for the presence of harmful bacteria throughout the year.
STANDPIPE
The South Weymouth standpipe has been cleaned and repainted on the inside.
MAINS AND SERVICES
The year has been unusually active in the building of homes and the development of land for real estate purposes. This activity, together with necessary changes due to street acceptances, has added over 11,000 lin. feet of new mains, 241 new services, 10 hydrants, and 23 gate valves.
Six inch mains of asbestos cement pipe were installed at three loca- tions, and several owners have installed copper tubing for service pipe.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Besides the usual maintenance of the distribution system, the program of sidewalk improvement necessitated adjustment of many curb boxes. Street improvements also required the relocation of seven hydrants.
The cold spell of January and February added to the department's activities, as well as keeping hydrants free from snow following the severe storm of February, 1940. Several hydrants required repair, including 8 cases of hydrants broken by trucks or autos. -
EQUIPMENT
A new electric thawing machine was purchased to combat frozen serv- ices. A 2" self priming portable pump, a truck mounted 110 c.f. Chicago Pneumatic air compressor, a business coupe, and a service tapping machine were purchased to replace old equipment.
Frank Larmey, a faithful employee of the Department for 25 years, was retired on December 5, 1940.
The Water Department wishes to acknowledge its appreciation of the Fire, Police, Street and other Town Departments for their excellent co-operation.
The following tables and summaries, covering in detail the work of the Department for the year ending with December 31, 1940, are respect- fully submitted.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass. January 20, 1941
To the Board of Water Commissioners :
Gentlemen :
Herewith is submitted the thirty-ninth annual report of the Account- ing Department for the year ending December 31, 1940.
Verification of all outstanding accounts and bank balances was made frequently during the year and I am satisfied that the records are correct.
The Water Surplus as of December 31, 1940 is $67,320.92, a decrease of $1,439.44 from that of the previous year. The sum of $11,013.69 was appropriated from this fund in March, 1940, for payment of the balance due for the construction of the Filtration Plant. The net gain from the activities of the current year amounted to $14,402.83.
Payment of $13,500 in 1940 has reduced the Net Debt to $89,000. The final payment was made for the loan issued April 1, 1925, which reduces the amount necessary for the payment of debt in 1941 to $12,500.
The co-operative efforts of the personnel are greatly appreciated for they have made possible prompt analysis and verification of the financial activities of the department.
Respectfully yours,
EMERSON R. DIZER, Town Accountant.
