January 13, 1945
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen : 1
I submit my annual report as Town Counsel for the year ending December 31, 1944.
The law department of the town has had a rather busy year, but fortunately has not been engaged in expensive or prolonged litigation. The usual number of cases of alleged injury or damage which might be classified under the general heading of small claims have been brought against the town. Only one or two went to trial and the results in all instances have been relatively inexpensive.
The one legal matter that has assumed serious proportions has grown out of the alleged larceny of money in the amount of $25,000.00 from the town by the ex-treasurer. After investigation, by vote of your Honorable. Board, a demand was made upon the Travelers Indemnity Co., who had bonded the treasurer in the sum of $56,300.00 conditioned upon his faithful performance of the duties of his office, for reimbursement in the sum of $25,000.00. The first demand was made in August and though repeated in October and again in November, no payment was made. In response thereto the Travelers Indemnity Co. late in November or early in December filed a Bill in Equity in which they made the Granite Trust Company and the Town of Weymouth respondents. From their Bill it is made to appear that the ex-treasurer of the town did not steal from the town but that the Bank, the Granite Trust Company, has the money and have failed to account for it for the benefit of the town, and that they the Travelers Indemnity Co. owe the town nothing. I feel that this matter should have been adjusted by the Travelers Indemnity Co. upon demand, and that if they had rights against anyone else they could then pursue them. In the case of Lowell vs. Mass. Bonding & Insurance.
304 Mass. 153, 156.
in which the city treasurer paid out lawful obligations of the city illegally the Court said at page 156
" ... . but the plaintiff was entitled to have its funds remain in its treasury until lawfully disbursed. It is now entitled to have unlawful disbursements made good by the disbursing officer and his surety. The restoration to the city treasury of money unlawfully disbursed it not to be delayed by an in- quiry into the rights, if any, that the defendent Flood and his surety might acquire against the plaintiff by reason of such restoration."
It might be added that the ex-treasurer faced two indictments of Larceny from the town and one from the bank and that he pleaded guilty to all three and was sentenced to from three to five years on each com- plaint. The judge ordered the two sentences imposed of from three to five years for larceny from the town to be served concurrently and the other to become effective thereafter. The ex-treasurer himself says he stole from the town. Surely this is some indication of larceny from the town, which the Travelers Indemnity Co. denies.
I have been a director of the Granite Trust Company for a number of years. When it appeared that it was impossible to secure reimbursement for the town from the Travelers Indemnity Co. or otherwise adjust the matter I decided that because of the duality of my position I would ask your Honorable Board to be relieved of any further connections with the matter. This you kindly assented to and appointed other counsel without any suggestion on my part as to whom such counsel would be. I had previously taken a somewhat similar position so far as dealing with the matter as director of the bank is concerned, and had myself recorded there.
173
It now appears to me to be a contest between the two surety companies as to which will have to pay the town and in what amounts. In any event there seems no real question but that the town will eventually receive its money in full.
May I thank you again and thru you the many employees and officials of the town for the consideration and courtesies shown me.
Respectfully submitted, Kenneth L. Nash
REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of Weymouth
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith, in brief as requested by your Board, my thirty- eighth annual report as Town Engineer of Weymouth.
The town survey work in general continues much as in previous years, augmented somewhat by the growth of the town, the continuation and expansion of the block system adopted in 1939, and other minor causes.
The various legal documents copied, given to the assessors, and used in the revision of the assessors plans fluctuate from year to year averaging around 1500 per year. I would urge the necessity and value of immediately recording and document or plan that might affect the title or ownership of any property, in order that the same may be properly assessed and also furnish protection to the owner.
The location and plotting of new dwellings, garages and other buildings including additions or changes to existing buildings and the removal of others were less than in 1943.
Due to the almost prohibitive cost of stone bounds and the scarcity of labor none were set the past year.
An Atlas of Weymouth, the first one showing the block system, was published early in 1944. Copies were furnished the various departments of the town and the balance sold.
The usual principal surveying and engineering work, curtailed as in 1943, was done for your Board or other departments of the Town. One feature I might mention was the location of and the preparation of a plan showing all of the existing permanent sidewalks, so called, in the town, and the nature of their construction, whether granolithic, brick, or tar.
The difficulty of obtaining at times the necessary assistants, due to the war, still remains.
In closing my thanks are extended to your Board, other town officials and departments, and many citizens for their courtesy to me and to my assistants.
Respectfully submitted, Russell H. Whiting, Town Engineer

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
East Weymouth, Mass. January 29, 1945
To the Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen :
Herewith is submitted the forty-third annual report of the Accounting Department. With this report I bring to a close twenty-five years of service as Town Accountant.
It would have been my wish to report more in detail and make some observations relative to the financial affairs of the Town, but at your request I have eliminated all subject matter except that considered vital as a matter of record.
Most unfortunate was the difficulty in which the one who held the office of Town Treasurer became involved. The activities of the Treasurer's office have always been conducted in an efficient and exacting manner. While the question of who is responsible for the apparent shortage in the funds of the Town is now subject to court action, it is the contention of this office that the Granite Trust Company did and is now improperly withholding from the Town of Weymouth the total amount involved.
It should be understood that this office is willing and anxious to make available any information relative to the financial affairs of the Town to any who may wish to visit the office.
I extend my thanks to your Board and to the personel of my office who have made possible the accomplishments of this department during a most trying year.
Respectfully submitted, Emerson R. Dizer, Town Accountant
