Due to an increased budget as of October of this year, it is obvious that Old Age Assistance will increase substantially both numerically as well as financially. As a result, your Agent feels that this department which has been undermanned for several years must now ask for additional help to relieve the great pressure under which it is laboring.

REPORT OF GENERAL RELIEF


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Gentlemen :


The outlook for 1947 in the field of General Relief is for a continued increase both in the number of cases and expenditures. I find the chief causes of General Relief are the cessation of employment, discontinuance of Unemployment Compensa- tion, broken families, and sickness.


Due to the above reasons, a greater amount of work is anticipated for the coming year necessitating more help and a resulting increase in expenditures.


Respectfully submitted, THOMAS P. DELAHUNT, Agent Board of Public Welfare

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL


Honorable Board of Selectmen


Town Hall


East Weymouth, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


I submit my annual report as Town Counsel for the year ending December 31, 1946.


There is nothing of great importance concerning the legal affairs of the Town worthy of report. The usual claims springing from alleged defects in the Town's highways are always with us. Only two in which sizeable demands have been made are now pending. Many small matters have been adjusted without the


128


necessity of court action. It seems that fewer claims have been made during the operation through the past year.


The office is kept busy counselling with the various town departments either by telephone or interview, in most cases to our mutual advantage. The preparation of legal documents, particularly passing papers in the many real estate transactions due to the real estate foreclosed by the Town and sold by your Honorable Board, has increased the quality of work for this department. If the Town determines to go forward with the building of a sewer a great deal more work is anticipated, and this will be of considerable expense depending upon the amount, location and nature of the work.


May I express my appreciation to you for your kind assistance and through you to the various officers and employees of the Town for their help and co- operation through the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


Kenneth L. Nash


DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


To you and through your Board to the townspeople, we submit our third Annual Report for the Department of Veterans' Affairs, now titled Department of Veterans' Services by virtue of Chapter 599, Acts of 1946.


The performance and accomplishments of the department during the year were greatly aided by the support of your Board and the cooperation of Weymouth Red Cross, Weymouth Family Service Society, Weymouth Selective Service Board, and all town departments who served us so well when called upon.


As was anticipated, the department met the challenge of increased volume during the year even though it developed at a time when we lost one of our trained office personnel and it was necessary to overcome adverse health conditions. The tenseness of the situation was greatly relieved by the wholehearted cooperation of Mr. Henry Tuohy, Veterans Administration Field Contact Representative. As arranged by Mr. Fern, your Chairman, Mr. Tuohy spent three days (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) each week in Weymouth instead of two, and because of the load is still following that same schedule. With his cooperation (until he, too, was taken ill) all Veterans' matters under Federal legislation were capably handled, and further with his help all pending pension claims were expedited for ad- judication. Today we are proud to say we have no case where benefits are being paid with a pending pension claim. Too much cannot be said for Mr. Tuohy's earnest effort and teamwork on behalf of local veterans - he assumes all responsi- bility and detail for cases pending action under Federal laws.


Again this year we feel it our duty to stress the importance of an outside investigator. Chapter 115 of the General Laws has been revised by Chapter 584. Acts of 1946, which became operative January first of 1947. In short, this means that all Veterans' Benefits cases are now under State control with additional detail work and responsibility assigned to the local office. Proper administration of the present law, together with our duties as an established service center, means definitely that an investigator is imperative. Further delay in making such pro- vision would, in our opinion, tend toward defeating the purpose and intent of the department as established in March of 1944. On behalf of all veterans and their dependents we earnestly request favorable consideration on this matter.


Weymouth is growing and because of World War II has more veterans. Recent legislation has materially added to our duties to meet requirements. There is no alternative.


Our office records have been partially verified during the year, and from these records we include the following revised figures as of December 31st, 1946.

LABAN PRATT HOSPITAL


Board of Selectmen


Town of Weymouth, Mass.


Gentlemen :


Herewith is the first annual report of the Trustees of the Laban Pratt Hospital, required by the provisions of Section 3, Chapter 246, Act of the Massachusetts Legislature creating the corporation.


Your acknowledgment of the filing of this report, for the records of the Trustees, will be appreciated.


Very truly yours,


Marguerite W. Shafto, Clerk Mrs. Herbert B. Shaftoe 611 Commercial St. East Weymouth 98, Mass.


FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF LABAN PRATT HOSPITAL


To the Board of Selectmen


Town of Weymouth, Massachusetts


By direction of the Trustees of the Laban Pratt Hospital, the undersigned, a committee of the trustees duly authorized, submit to your Honorable Board the first annual report of the proceedings of the Trustees, required by the provisions of Section 3, of Chapter 246 being the Act of the Massachusetts Legislature, ap- proved April 26, 1946, creating Laban Pratt Hospital as a corporation.


The Trustees held their first meeting on July 15, 1946 and have held monthly meetings since.


The subject of hospital service, as discussed, was divided between the construction of a fifty bed hospital and some form of a clinic. There is some question as to whether a clinic would be within the scope of the Act. In view of the present day costs and the outlook in the near future, it is the opinion of the Trustees that to build, maintain and operate a hospital at this time would seriously impair or exhaust the fund.


130


The Town Accountant submitted to the Trustees the following statement of the Laban Pratt Fund on July 1, 1946 :


United States Treasury Bonds - Series G $200,000.00


On deposit with South Weymouth Savings Bank 154,696.51


On deposit with East Weymouth Savings Bank 129,426.01


On deposit with Weymouth Savings Bank 115,273.37


Total


$599,395.89


During the period subsequent to the first meeting of the Trustees in 1946, actions of consequence taken by the Trustees were as follows :


The Town Treasurer, Harry I. Granger, in accordance with the provisions of the Act, was appointed treasurer of the Trustees, the amount of the bond required of him being established at $25,000.


Procedure was adopted providing that all drafts signed by the treasurer be countersigned by one member of the Board of Audit and Control, consisting of Allan C. Emery, Clement N. Curtis and Emily L. McGovern, who had been appointed to such Board pursuant to Section 4 of the Act.


The Board of Selectmen were notified of the organization of the Trustees and were requested to arrange for the transfer of the Laban Pratt Fund to Harry I. Granger, Treasurer of the Trustees, when he had furnished the required surety bond.


Action on the matter of compensation of the Treasurer and Clerk, which the Trustees are empowered to fix by the provisions of Section 5 of the Act, was deferred.


Russell A. Stiles, as Chairman the Secretary and one other to be selected by the Chairman, are to constitute a committee to study all previously collected and available new information concerning the hospital project and bring in reports and information to the Trustees relating thereto.


Section 3 of the Act requires that in addition to proceedings of the Trustees, the report shall contain "a statement of the condition of the hospital, the property and funds pertaining to the same, with an accurate account of all receipts and ex- penditures -". With respect thereto, the Trustees report that no property or funds were held as of January 1, 1947, and that there were no receipts or expenditures during the period of this report.

WEYMOUTH PORT COMMITTEE


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


The Weymouth Port Committee, appointed by the Board of Selectmen, was formed on Feb. 19, 1946. The object of the committee being the development of the Weymouth water front for both commercial activities and yachting.


The committee met on several occasions and in joint meetings with the Braintree Port Committee in regard to dredging Weymouth Fore River.


In June, the War Deparment, through the Port of Boston authority, authorized this work to proceed.


The dredging was completed in July.


We have several proposals in mind at the present time, and it is the aim of your committee to continue in pursuit of any project relative to the development of the Port of Weymouth.


Respectfully submitted, Edward L. Rand, Chairman


REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


December 31, 1946


Gentlemen :


The Park Department has carried on its usual work on the playgrounds this last summer making 'the change of caring for the Pond Plain children from the Pond Plain Improvement Assn. grounds to the Pond Plain School grounds which is Town property and also affords them better facilities for their activities and a chance to enjoy a well shaded playground.


We wish to thank the School Committee for cooperating with us and allowing us the use of the Pond Plain School grounds also the settees which were used at the Stella Tirrell Park.


The Great Hill project has been approved in Washington but we must wait until congress appropriates the money needed for restoring this park to its former restful and attractive spot.


In June a truck was purchased and with our two full time men we have been able to keep our parks and greens in much better condition.


The Park Commissioners have met with the Town Meeting members of Precinct 2 and 6 to consider an appropriate location for another playground in East Weymouth. The March Town Meeting will pass on its desirability.


Respectfully submitted,


Everet J. McIntosh, Chm. Charles W. Burgess. Clerk Thomas A. McGrath


REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


Hon. Board of Selectmen


Weymouth Mass.


Gentlemen :


The Planning Board, realizing the urgent necessity of veterans housing, held four public hearings on land development and housing.


In the desire to facilitate the construction of dwellings, certain definite obliga- tions to the Town as set forth in the rules and regulations of the Board of Survey, .


132


and the zoning and building laws had to be enforced. The immediate response from contractors to conform to these laws and rules was not gratifying; however, it is hoped that changing conditions may bring about a better understanding in this phase of postwar activity. If not, the Town should undertake an aggressive program of residential construction.


For several years the Planning Board has recommended many essential projects. The sewerage system, advocated by the Planning Board for a number of years, now seems a reality. A Town incinerator for the disposal of rubbish and garbage is now becoming urgent. Sidewalks throughout the Town should be repaired and new ones should be constructed. The Planning Board has made a survey of much needed sidewalks and has made certain recommendations to the Board of Selectmen.


We again recommend an inspector of electrical wiring and equipment. Due to prospective new building construction it seems necessary, for public safety, that a wiring inspector be appointed.

REPORT OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING COMMITTEE


Weymouth, Mass.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,


The year 1946 is the fifth year in which we have been unable to install any appreciable number of street lights.


The shortage of porcelain during 1945 has partially cleared up, but wire has been short all the year and very little is available at the present time.


The company has put one tenth of normal supply on hand which is sufficient only for new house connections and emergency possibilities.


We installed only 19 lights during the year, mostly on two streets which were accepted by the town in 1942.


We are asking for $39,214 to maintain our 1822 lights during 1947, and also sufficient funds for 150 new lights which will be necessary to bring our schedule up to date.


Respectfully submitted,


Walter R. Field, Chairman


Alfred S. Tirrell Olindo Garofalo


Roger P. Loud


J. Herbert Libbey, Clerk
