December 31, 1949


Board of Health Town of Weymouth Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1949.


During the past year several new projects have been inaugurated by the Health Department. One of the major accomplishments was the Aerial Spraying of 1480 acres of a 3% solution of D.D.T. This spraying took place during the months of June, July, August and September. Many calls came to this office, complimenting us on the fine job this spraying had done in various localities.


In October the location of the Town Dump was moved from Main Street, Weymouth to Wharf Street, East Weymouth. With this move a new system was used to make this a sanitary move. Burning of debris has been eliminated and this is now covered with a sanitary fill after each dumping.


Throughout the year dairies have been inspected monthly. Samples of milk and cream have been taken regularly from the farms and trucks. On June 1, 1949, the Pasteurization Law was put into effect. This means that all milk in Weymouth must be pasteurized.


Restaurants have been inspected regularly by this department. Spot checks of restaurants and liquor establishments have been made by all members of the Board.


Infant boarding homes, convalescent homes, overnight cabins, pas- teurization plants, bottling plants have been inspected regularly and have been properly licensed. All members of the Board have been most co- operative and have spent many hours making inspections of the various phases of public health work.


The sewerage conditions of the town are being improved in a most satisfactory manner. Mr. Francis Hamilton, Superintendent of the Sewer Department, has been very cooperative and through his efforts many un- healthy conditions have been remedied.


In 1949 the Board of Health with the cooperation of the State and the Norfolk County Health Association sponsored a mass chest X-Ray for the entire town. During the summer, 8500 X-Rays were taken of local residents. Of this number 22 were found to have some disorder. It not only discovered Tuberculosis but also many other ailments such as en- larged heart, tumors, cysts, abcesses etc.


During 1949 the town had 21 cases of Poliomyelitis. The Health De- partment makes yearly contributions to the Massachusetts Infantile Paral- ysis Cliniic of Children's Hospital, where local patients are afforded treat- ment as required.


I wish to express my gratitude to the members of the Board of Health for the cooperation extended to me during the past year.


Respectfully submitted, HENRY F. GODIN, Health Agent

REPORT OF TREE AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT


January 6, 1950


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Weymouth:


The Tree and Moth Departments have had their usual busy year.


Dutch Elm Disease is on the increase, being about evenly distributed throughout all sections of town. During 1940, a total of 54 trees have been affected and will have to be removed. These trees are both public and private trees. The number of each is almost equally divided. To date, a total of 90 elm trees have become infected since 1946 when the disease was first discovered in the Spring St., Essex St. area of Weymouth. Each year the number of diseased trees has almost tripled itself, so that it is safe to assume that we shall have 150 Dutch Elm diseased trees in 1950.


A special article calling for a $5,000.00 appropriation to be used ex- clusively for Dutch Elm disease control work will come before the 1950 An- nual Town Meeting. It needs your support.


The severe summer drought of 1949 will take its toll of trees in 1950. Old established trees and new plantings will succumb to the lack of mois- ture. This will be especially noticeable in areas where large scale grading and trench digging operations have been taking place. These digging projects lower the water table in the soil, making it difficult or impossible for trees and vegetation to get sufficient soil moisture to dissolve available plant foods.


Our insect pest control work has gone along well. It is not understood by our public, but our insect pest control program does not cover all insects. Under Chap. 660, Gen. Laws, Acts of 1946, the money which you appro- priate at Town Meeting for the Moth Dept. is for control work against "Gypsy Moth, Browntail Moth, Tent Caterpillar, Oriental Hag Moth, Elm- leaf Beetle." (Sec. 11).


Such insects as Japanese Beetle, European Ear Wig, Lace Flies, Birch Leaf Miner, etc. are entirely out of our control unless the Town sets up separate money for their control or eradication.


The airplane spraying program sponsored jointly by the Moth Dept. and Board of Health was a tremendous success. All swamp areas of the town were sprayed four times during the summer for control of mosquito larvae. This work has been well received by the public, with the expres- sion of hope that it will be continued in the future.


Aside from routine pruning, spraying, tree removal, tree planting, poison ivy control, we have been called upon to rescue cats, a pet racoon, take care of swarms of bees, remove or dispose of hornets, wasps, yellow jackets and other stinging insects along the public way. Sometimes we get rewarded for our troubles, said reward coming from the insect personally.


We have also served the following departments in the manner as listed below:


Health Dept. - Spraying for Polio Prevention.


Street Dept. - Tree removal for Street projects.


Fire Dept. - Line Clearing for Fire Alarm System.


Police Dept. - Line Clearing for Police Signal System.


School Dept. - Tree removal, planting, poison ivy control, removal of wasp nests on school buildings, shade tree spraying.


Park Dept. - Tree removal, tree planting, poison ivy control, shade tree spraying.


156


Town Hall - Planting, caring for shrubbery.


During the year I have attended several courses and lectures; Tree wardens' 5 day short course at University of Mass., Amherst, a course which I have attended annually since its inception in 1936, the National Shade Tree Conference in Baltimore, Md., Tree Wardens' two day convention at Horticulutral Hall, Boston; monthly meetings of the Southeastern Mass. Tree Wardens' Association, of which I am the founder and past president. It is through the medium of these meetings and organizations with their wealth of up-to-date scientific and practical information that Weymouth is the best informed town as far as its trees are concerned, in this area. Occasionally your tree warden is called upon to advise or make recom- mendations to other towns in policies and practices governing the care of trees.


We must face the future with a new and serious tree disease - Oak wilt, which so far as is known, will affect all species of oak trees in the United States. At present this disease is not known in New England, but within ten years, it will have worked its way eastward from the Great Lakes and Central States where it is fanning out in all directions. Two years ago, while attending the National Shade Tree Conference, I had a first hand observation of this disease in suburban areas of Chicago. It is really a serious problem which will affect our economic as well as cul- tural life.


As a Department we are striving to do our utmost to give you more service, yet fully realizing the financial side of the picture which must be kept under control. It is only when we are faced with serious problems which can be taken care of with the expenditures of new money, that I present them before the Town Meeting. Many other problems or services which I could recommend to you or for you are never brought forth. Your ability to pay is always kept in mind.


Our duties are broadening and our working force is smaller than it was two years ago. It is only through labor saving equipment (enabling us to do more work in less time) that we can make up the difference.


It has been a pleasure to serve you and to cooperate with all Depart- ments needing our assistance.


Our public relations with the Board of Selectmen, Appropriations Com- mittee, Town Hall staff, and the public as a whole have been excellent. The letters received this year are proof of this.


To all, including the workers of the Tree and Moth Departments, my thanks for your cooperation.


Respectfully yours, V. LESLIE HEBERT,


Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Weymouth:


The School Committee is pleased to submit the following report for 1949:


The School Department has had a number of problems during the past year, and we realize that some of the same problems will continue in 1950. The most pressing is our larger enrollment, which has been caused by the growth of our town and the increased birth rate. Everyone expects Wey mouth to continue to grow for several years to come. On October 1, 1943, our enrollment was 4,455 and it has now risen to 5,343. Almost all of this increase is in the primary grades. As these children progress to the higher grades and are followed by equally large numbers who enter the first grade, our school system will be taxed to capacity. This will be true even though we build several new schools and additions.


This increase in the number of pupils makes it necessary to employ additional teachers, and it is not always easy to get qualified teachers for


162


these positions. The young people who are graduated from our teachers' colleges are now in a position to compare school systems and salary sched- ules. We are fortunate in having a good comparative schedule, or our dif- ficulties in this respect would be greater. Nine additional rooms were opened in September 1949, and twelve rooms will be added in 1950. The new teachers have fitted into our school system very well, and the depart- ment has been helped immeasurably by the large number of married women we have been able to employ as teachers.


At the present time, the additions to the Adams and Pratt Schools are practically complete and should be ready for occupancy in February, 1950. Present plans call for a junior high school in South Weymouth and an elementary school in North Weymouth to open in September, 1951. In ad- dition, we are asking the Town Meeting for money to purchase land on Front Street in Weymouth Landing for an elementary school which should be erected by September, 1952. The site for a central junior high school between East Weymouth and Weymouth Landing should be secured at an early date. The school will be needed about 1955.


These sites should be secured now. If we wait, all the good available land in these areas may be taken, and it may cost the Weymouth taxpayer a great deal more to obtain these new school sites. In selecting new school sites it is necessary to keep always in mind the requirements of the State of Massachusetts. If we receive the approval of our sites and buildings, the Town of Weymouth will receive reimbursement of about 23% of the construction cost. The State requires that schools be built on an area large enough for future expansion if necessary, and on one that can be used for a playground and athletic field.


For 1949 the School Committee has decided to issue an illustrated An- nual Report. Because of this special, separate report, the Annual Report omits the traditional written reports of supervisors, principals, and the Superintendent of Schools, but the usual statistical tables on enrollments, etc., are included. The pictorial report will be sent to the Town Meeting members and all interested citizens. Any one desiring a copy should re- quest one from the Office of the Superintendent of Schools.


As our school system grows, we sincerely hope that we can continue to offer the children of Weymouth a sound, constructive educational program.
