REPORT OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING COMMITTEE
Weymouth, Massachusetts December 30, 1944
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
This committee has been able to do little but maintain the town's 1800 lights during the years 1942, 1943, and 1944.
The restrictions ordered by the War Production Board have been considerably eased and we hope to be able to start lighting the many' newly accepted streets the coming year, provided the necessary materials can be obtained.
Most of the money returned to the town was due to credit for lights out following the September hurricane.
. Respectively submitted, Joseph Kelley, Chairman Alfred S. Tirrell Olindo Garofalo Walter R. Field J. Herbert Libbey, Clerk Electric Lighting Committee

REPORT OF THE ALEWIVE FISHERIES
1074 Pleasant Street East Weymouth 89, Mass. December 11, 1944
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Weymouth, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my annual report as Superintendent of Alewive Fisheries for the year ending December 31, 1944.
Approximately (11,000) eleven thousand alewives were deposited in Whitmans Pond for spawning. The first catch was made on April 30th and the last on May 8, 1944.
Respectfully submitted, Thomas. M. O'Toole Superintendent of Alewive Fisheries December 31, 1944
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
January 2, 1945
Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the report of the Tree Department for 1944.
1. A systematic tree trimming was begun in 1944. Care was taken to trim out dangerous and dead wood along our main highways and routes which children use to the various schools.
2. The removal of dead and diseased elm, maple and poplar trees was a tremendous task. We succeeded in topping out and removing 103 trees. Many of our elms are fast reaching their lifes end and along with Cephol- osporium wilt which is a very severe disease and Verticillium wilt which affects both maple and elm trees makes this item an annual necessity.
3. A systematic tree planting program was begun in 1944. 175 Norway maples and some Linden trees were set out during the spring and fall. We have been through two hurricanes now which has taken many of our old trees and along with the number we are losing annually due to fungus diseases and natural causes this program must be carried on for many years to come.
4. There are well over a hundred tree stumps which have been topped and left standing for many years. Not only are these unsightly and in some cases in a dangerous condition but also the Scolytus beetle, carrier of the Dutch-elm disease thrives on this sort of wood. This work was practically not attempted in 1944, but in 1945, we hope to remove as many of these as possible.
The destruction from the hurricane of Sept. 15, 1944, although not as serious as in 1938, gave us a lot of added work for three weeks when most of the damage was cleaned up. Weymouth had 18 trees uprooted, 20 trees snapped off and between 30 and 50 trees left in a dangerous condition.
Many thanks to the Street Department for their aid in picking up the brush. Thanks also to William Keefe at the Town dump for the efficient way he handled the great aomunt of brush, stumps and logs which were hauled there.
Respectfully submitted,
William E. MacQuinn, Tree Warden

REPORT OF THE MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
January 2, 1945
Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Please accept the report of the Moth Department for 1944.
The Gypsy Moth although not too serious this year is becoming even closer to our town borders again, as the South Shore from the Cape northward to Hingham and Rockland was severely infested. Thus we look for real trouble in 1945. Every precaution was taken in our own Town this year both by spraying the trees and creosoting the egg clusters.
The Elm Leaf Beetle was kept in check by the usual spraying program.
There were a few light outbreaks of canker worms which were con- trolled by spraying.
The Tent Caterpillar an ever nuisance pest was controlled to a great extent by spraying and cutting wild cherries. Also the school children's efforts in collecting the egg cluster were a great help to the department.
There was a severe outbreak of the Satin moth in one section of North Weymouth but was quickly checked by spraying.
The sum of $1,250.00 was appropriated for private spraying and the Town was reimbursed by the sum of $1,263.00.
Respectfully submitted,
William E. MacQuinn, Moth Superintendent

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS
East Weymouth, Mass. December 30, 1944
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit to your Board the Annual Report for the newly titled Department of Veterans' Affairs, now established on a full time basis. The concern and forethought of the town in providing for Service- men and Veterans of the present emergency is well emphasized by the fact that a decisive majority of cases handled by the department since May first of this year were those of W. W. II association. This majority was made up primarily by dependents of Servicemen, except for 45 Honorably Discharged Veterans who called on the department for aid or advice in one way or another. Incidentally, this figure represents slightly more than one third of the total discharges recorded through November, 1944.
As of Monday, May 22, 1944, the facilities of the department were made available daily without interruption. The association of a capable
88
assistant has proven to be a decided asset and has bean the means of developing records and bringing them up to date in a creditable manner. This, with the additional office recently provided, establishes the depart- ment on a sound functioning basis.
All in all we are pleased with results to date, and we have just cause to feel that our efforts have been successful, but whatever our success we attribute that success to the support given by your Board and the beneficial guidance and counsel of the Rehabilitation and Advisory Committee. We are mindful, too, of the valuable services rendered by the Weymouth Red Cross and Weymouth Family Service Society, together with the fine cooperative spirit displayed by the Weymouth Selective Service Board and the various Town Departments who, when called upon, served us so willingly and in such an efficient manner.

Above budget for 1945 includes an increase in salary for the Adminis- trator and clerk, which we believe merits favorable consideration. An increase for Postage and supplies is also requested since no other provision is made for the expenses of the Town Rehabilitation and Advisory Committee. In 1944 postage, envelopes and paper for printing purposes provided for committee use cost approximately $90.00. Also, in the figure of $700.00 for supplies and printing, $400.00 is included for the purchase of a desk and a Photostat Machine with initial photostat supplies.
The twelve months' estimate for Soldiers' Benefits is based on an average of the total expended for October, November, and December of 1944. (December estimated at $1500.00)

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TUFTS LECTURE FUND
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
On October 7, 1940, the Board of Selectmen voted that the Superintend- ent of Schools, the Chairman of the Tufts Library Trustees, and one other be appointed to act on all requests for transfers from the Tufts Lecture Fund. On October 16, 1940, Mr. Sandy Roulston, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, appointed Mrs. Florine E. Ducker as the third member of the committee.
This committee organized, and studied the entire problem, with the result that the following recommendations were made to the Board of Selectmen:
1. It is the unanimous opinion of the Committee that the practice of conducting Tufts Fund Lectures through the spon- sorship of various organizations should be discontinued; and such discontinuance is hereby recommended.
2. The Committee is unanimous in the opinion that Tufts Fund Lectures should be provided each year for the benefit of the citizens, either by this Committee or by some other Committee; and this method of administrating is hereby recommended.
3. Since the Tufts Fund reserve is limited, and since the annual income, on the basis of present investment returns, will probably not exceed $125.00 a year, the Committee is of unani- - mous opinion that the new practice should be to arrange for two lectures per year, supplementing the annual income from the reserve as necessary; and such recommendation is hereby made
On November 4, 1940, the Board of Selectmen accepted all recommen- dations and authorized the Committee to act under them.
At a subsequent meeting the Committee decided to delay temporarily arrangements for lectures until the Fund should have accumulated some re- serve. Under normal conditions the lectures would have started in the fall of 1942. Gasoline rationing in May, 1942, and transportation difficulties generally which developed from that time caused the Committee to delay further the start of such a series of lectures.
It is the hope of the Committee that conditions in 1945 will be such that the program may be initiated.

The Committee will welcome receiving suggestions for lectures and programs from organized groups and individuals.
Respectfully submitted FLORINE E. DUCKER, Chairman CHARLES R. THIBADEAU, Secretary CLARANCE P. WHITTLE
