REPORT OF SHELLFISH CONSTABLE


December 31, 1941


Honorable Board of Selectmen,


Gentlemen :


I herewith submit my fourth Annual Report as Shell Fish Constable of the year 1941.


As of last year our citizens have taken advantage of the Provisions of Chapter 130, Mass., but complain of no clams now in our open area due to the fact that seed clams were destroyed in the past years. Therefore, I am recommending that your board place a closed season on what remains of our clam producing areas, so the seed will grow to the edible size or legal length of two inches.


Respectfully submitted,


A. S.VEADER,


Shell Fish Constable.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE OBSERVANCE


OF MEMORIAL DAY


To the citizens of the Town of Weymouth :


At the Annual Town Meeting held in March 1941, it was voted under Article I, Item 34, that a committee of seven (7) be appointed by the Mod- erator from the various Veterans and Heredity organizations, in accord- ance with the provisions of General Laws (Tercentenary Edition) Chapter 40, Section 5. Clause 12, as amended.


The following committee was appointed :


Henry B. Vogel, Commander, Post 58, Grand Army of the Republic (Honor- ary Chairman)


George C. Smith, Commander, Post 79, American Legion (Chairman)


Charles P. Shepherd, S. V. Commander, Post 79, American Legion Fred Webb, J. V. Commander, Post 79, American Legion


Herbert Leslie, Commander, Post 1399, Veterans of Foreign Wars Irving Packard, Quartermaster, Post No. 1399, Veterans of Foreign Wars Mrs. Hazel A. Theriault, President, Tent No. 32, Daughters of Union Veterans Robert W. Pratt, Commander, Camp No. 36, Sons of Union Veterans


Six meetings were held by your committee between April 14th, and May 27th, at which latter date all arrangements for transportation, decorations and parade detail, etc., had been successfully completed.


Memorial Day exercises in the schools, through the courtesy of Charles R. Thibadeau, Superintendent, and pastors of parochial schools, was carried out on Thursday. - May 29, 1941. Veterans visiting as many of their Exercises as time would allow. The graves of Veterans of all wars were decorated with potted plants. Flags were placed on each grave the week before Memorial Day. Public Squares, Monuments and Memorials were decorated with wreaths and flags.


On Memorial Day, the Veterans, Heredity Organizations, and invited guests, assembled at Hurley Square, North Weymouth, Commander Herbert Leslie, V.F.W., Chief Marshal, with his appointed staff, formed the parade. The American Legion Band, the American Legion Drum Corps, the Sacred Heart School Band, and the Boy Scouts of America Drum Corps, furnished the music. All cemeteries were visited and appropriate services held as usual. The parade paused to properly salute and be reviewed by Commander Henry


187


B. Vogel, Post 58, G.A.R., from his residence on Cedar St., East Weymouth. The parade then proceeded to the Central Fire Station where it disbanded.


It is well for us, because of events occurring since we last honored our loyal dead, to constantly let our memory return to that beautiful Memorial Day of 1941. And in so doing, gain that spiritual strength in our hearts, that we might again resolve, with renewed faith and purpose, "that these dead shall not have died in vain".


To all who helped in making this Memorial Observance a lasting success, your committee wishes to extend their sincere thanks.


Respectfully submitted,


ROBERT W. PRATT,


Secretary of the Memorial Day Committee.


REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT


To the Honorable Board of Selecemen :


East Weymouth, Mass.


Gentlemen :


January 5, 1942


Please accept the report of the Moth Department for 1941.


This year brought to the minds of the townspeople the fact that the Gypsy Moth is a serious menace to our shade trees and woodlands. Due to additional funds which the Appropriation board so thoughtfully allotted the Department we were able to creosote throughout the fall. The schedule planned for 1942 will control this pest to a great extent.


The Elm leaf beetle although still a serious pest, was fairly well brought under control. However, it must remain checked by continued spraying in 1942.


The unsightly nests of the Fall Web Worms were cut off and burned ..


. The Tent Caterpillars seem to have increased the past year, although we we cut and burned many wild cherries, as it is mostly on these where the moth lays her eggs, there are thousands of egg masses remaining. I recom- mend a campaign sponsored by the Moth Department and carried out by the school children, 4-H Club members and boy and girl scouts with prizes offered for the largest number of egg masses collected. A campaign of this nature would save the town thousands of dollars.


Respectfully submitted,


Gentlemen:


WILLIAM E. MacQUINN,


Moth Superintendent.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE ALARMS


January 5, 1942


Chief Timothy G. McCarthy


Weymouth Fire Department


Dear Sir:


I respectfully submit my report for the Fire Alarm System for the year ending December 31, 1941.


Alarms for fires 206


Out of town calls 8


Chief's call (3 blows) 4 False alarms 22 B.y Scout Call (1234) 2


The outside wire is in good condition, a part of which is being replaced each year.


One new location has been added for a fire alarm box.


A new whistle has been installed in the North Weymouth Station to replace the church bell which was being used for Fire Alarm. We hope to replace the bell in Weymouth Landing with a whistle next year.


As reported last year I believe that more of the old boxes should be replaced each year, and in these times it seems more necessary than ever before.


In concluding I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all for their services and cooperation rendered at all times.


Respectfully submitted,


EDRIC J. SALISBURY,


Supt. of Fire Alarm.
