YOUR LIBRARY BUILDING:
There have been anxious times in 1948 because of the problems of maintaining the library building. In the cold and snowy winter weather, serious leaks developed, damaging walls and ceilings and books.
150
Twice during the heating season the furnace required emergency repairs and once the building had to be closed early for lack of heat. In the extreme hot weather of mid-summer, the plumbing in the library broke down. The pipes are very old and were not able to withstand the in- creased pressure in the water system of the town. Only emergency repairs were made, but the entire system needs radical renovation throughout if it is to take care of the growth of the library and its normal activities during the years ahead.
A re-arrangement of some bookcases has improved the appearance and the working conditions around the main desk, but the shelving space is inadequate and overcrowded; there is no adequate space available for the important library service to our teen-age young people, nor for other com- munity services which are today a recognized function in a good public library. The Trustees plan for expansion into the top floor of the library plus the necessary renovation of the whole building, promises to be so expensive that they are making a further study of the whole problem before asking for sufficient funds to house the Tufts Library in a building that shall be adequate over a period of years and be functionally equipped to give the townspeople of Weymouth the best possible service.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARANCE P. WHITTLE, President
By order and on behalf of the Trustees of the Tufts Library.

WEYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS 1948
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
January 1, 1949
The final report on the general survey of our Water System was sub- mitted by our consulting engineers, Weston and Sampson. A substantiial start was accomplished during 1948 by the issuance of $200,000 in bonds toward their total estimate of one and a quarter million dollars. The new standpipe off Roosevelt Road was completed, the foundation is in for the Randall Avenue standpipe with contract let for the standpipe to be erected in June, and approximately one and three quarters miles of 12 in. and 16 in. pipe were installed in Essex, Green and East Streets.
We are happy to report several joint meetings with the Planning Board which have resulted in closer co-operation regardiing new real estate de- velopment procedures.
The necessary change in water rates outlined in our 1947 report was put into effect April 1, 1948.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
Stanley T. Torrey, Chairman Harry I. Granger, Clerk Clarence W. Taylor John E. Horace 1 Joseph E. Fern
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
To the Weymouth Board of Water Commissioners:
Much of the activity during 1948 was centered around a rather large building program scattered throughout the town. Many new real estate developments with necessary connections accounted for 5,100 lineal feet of mains, while main extensions, replacement and street acceptances called for 4,750 lineal feet.
The department also drew up plans and specifications and let contracts for 9,800 lineal feet of 12 in. and 16 in. pipe to continue our reinforcing program as outlined by our consultant Weston and Sampson. With 305 new services and 60 renewals added to above, the total represents over seven miles of trench for the year.
In connection with the new Randall Avenue standpipe, our engineer- ing department supervised the construction of the foundation and con- structed the road approaching the site.
A few of the other activities included the overhauling of altitude valves and loss of head gauges, lowering of a 6 in. main on West Street, and cut- ting-in of a 12 in. valve under pressure at the Reed Avenue standpipe.
The new high service standpipe off Roosevelt Road was completed, painted, tested and put inito commission in 1948, including the change of mains and services on a portion of Broad, Washington and Commercial Streets from low to high service.
For equipment, our old dump truck was replaced by a new Ford 11/2 ton dump truck.
In the office personnel, Miss Jean Doherty resigned and Mrs. Black- well assumed the duties of Junior Clerk.
159
Daily analyses of water samples taken at random from various sec- tions of the town together with necessary special samples were continued as in previous years. Check analyses by the State Department of Public Health confirm our daily report that no harmful bacteria have been found. in your water supply throughout the year.
With activities increasing at the present rate, it is recommended that consideration be given to additional equipment, such as a bulldozer, crane truck, another service tapping machine, pump, welding equipment and meter testing equipment. The need is becoming increasingly evident for larger repair and storage space, as well as fleet repair equipment, such as jacks, compressed air equipment and battery charger.
The announcement of the death of our former general foreman, Mrr. Murphy, came as a shock to the department. Mr. Murphy will be missed by his former associates of the Water Department where he ably served for thirty-one years, including two years as Acting Superintendent
This department appreciates the co-operation and help from the School, Police, Fire, Street and other departments. Co-operative meetings with the Planning Board and the Building Inspector have been very helpful in planning for new land developments.
Respectfully submitted, SYDNEY C. BEANE, Superintendent
