REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE ALARMS
January 4, 1951
Chief Walter R. Murray Weymouth Fire Department
Dear Sir:
I respectfully submit my report of the Fire Alarm System for the year ending December 31, 1950.
Bell Alarms for Fires 186
Second Alarms 1
False Alarms 21
Out of Town Alarms 2 7 Blows for Off Shift Men 2 No School Signals 2
The outside lines are in good condition, some of which are replaced each year.
Ten Fire Alarm Boxes have been added to the System at new locations which required the running of five miles of wire.
The Fire Alarm System has been changed this year to eliminate a large part of the outside whistles and horns.
All Boxes have been changed to four numbers to conform with a Town wide plan we have for future Boxes.
I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all for services and co-operation rendered at all times.
Respectfully submitted, EDRIC J. SALISBURY, Superintendent of Fire Alarm

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
January 5, 1951
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1950.
There were 776 alarms during the year. 146 were for fires involving buildings. 630 were for all other emergencies as listed herein.
Major changes in the department during the year include, a new ladder truck which replaces a truck bought in 1925, the addition of two- way radio which greatly increases the efficiency of the department and a change-over in the Fire Alarm System which greatly reduces the sounding of the fire alarm whistles during the night hours. The blowing of these whistles in the night time has long been a cause of complaint.
The department sent five men to night school on various subjects connected with their work. We hope to continue this policy as its value is clearly shown.
Drills and classes for the members of the department have been held during the year as usual.
I wish to thank you and all others who have assisted the department during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER R. MURRAY, Chief of Fire Department

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
January 10, 1951
Board of Health Town of Weymouth Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1950.

During the past year the eating and drinking establishments were inspected regularly and swabs taken of eating utensils for bacteriological analysis.
Dairies and farms have been inspected monthly and samples of milk and cream taken for analysis. The quality of the milk sold in Weymouth compares with the best in the state.
Infant boarding homes, kindergartens, day nurseries, convalescent homes, over night cabins, theatres, pasteurization plants, bottling plants, trailer park etc. have been licensed and inspected at regular intervals.
This year many more connections to the public sewer system have been made, which eliminates some of the most unhealthy conditions.
During 1950 the town had six cases of poliomyelitis compared with twenty-one cases in 1949.
In October 1949, a new law was passed providing for the care of cer- tain infants - infants prematurely born.
This means that the Board of Health shall provide transportation to any hospital where premature babies can be taken care of. Any baby weighing 41/2 lbs. or less shall be transported in a portable incubator. Dur- ing 1950 this department had 40 premature baby cases. Of this number the town was responsible for seven cases. If the parents or guardians are unable to pay the town is responsible according to this law.
Another new law was passed regulating agencies conducting day nur- series and kindergartens. We have seven of these agencies in town which have been inspected and properly licensed.
I wish to express my thanks to the members of the Board of Health for their splendid cooperation also to John J. O'Leary, Supt. of Streets, Chief Murray of the Fire Department and all other departments who co- operated with the Board of Health.
Respectfully submitted, HENRY F. GODIN, Health Officer

REPORT OF THE STREET DEPARTMENT
January 12, 1951
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Street Department for year ending December 31, 1950.
The following streets were accepted at the 1950 annual town meeting:
Chisholm Road Third Street Mt. Vernon Road East Extension
Scott Road Clark Road Whitman Street Extension
Holmberg Road
Colonial Road
Abigail Adams Circle
Walker Street
Off Lake Street
John Quincy Lane
Lane Avenue
All these streets were worked with the exception of Whitman Street, and Colonial Road.
Finished construction of Griffin Terrace, which was accepted by the town in 1949.
The following permanent side walks and/or curbing were installed:
Pearl and Sea Streets
Wilson Avenue
Homestead Avenue
Grant Street
Randolph Street
Myrtle Street
Pearl Street, from corner of Norton & Pearl to Evans North and Norton Streets
Commercial Street - north side, from Genevieve Road to James Road; south side, from Webb to Pierce Road Jaffrey Street
The reconstruction of a section of West Street, begun in 1949, was continued under Chapter 90.
Broad Street, from Madison Street to Middle Street, was resurfaced under Chapter 90 Maintenance.
Due to the large number of new housing developments in the town, and especially to the buying up of so much low land for housing develop- ments, a great deal of work was required to be done on drains this year.
The following new equipment was purchased: 3/4 cu. yd. Byer's shovel, Chevrolet Coupe, two rubbish collectors.
Each member of the Street Department was greatly shocked at the death of our kind friend, and Superintendent, Thomas J. Kelly, who passed away suddenly at his home on the night of July 28, 1950. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his family in this sorrow.
Sympathy is also extended to the family of Edward F. Sullivan, who died November 25, 1950. Mr. Sullivan had been an employee of the Street Department for twenty years.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. O'LEARY, Superintendent of Streets

During the year 1,650 permits were issued.

I wish to extend to your Board and to other town officials my many thanks for all the courtesies and assistance given me during the year.
Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH W. ROSS, Wiring Inspector
REPORT OF ELECTRIC LIGHTING COMMITTEE
December 31, 1950
Weymouth, Massachusetts
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
This committee has been unable to accomplish as much street lighting during the past year as was expected, due partly to shortage of material and partly to lack of man-power in the Weymouth Light & Power Com- pany.
The servicing of the seven hunrded new homes and the extensions in the many new developments has taken a large part of the Company time and material, leaving but little for street lighting.
We have installed 23 of the 1600 candlepower Mercury lamps in East Weymouth and the results are highly satisfactory. The Company has in stock, 42 more of these lights and will start installation in the South Wey- mouth area as soon as time is available.
We have taken care of some of the new streets and are asking in our 1951 budget, sufficient funds to complete this work and also an additional amount for new work for 1951.
Our monthly bill is about $3800 and our budget for 1951 is $48,600.
The price per light remains unchanged.
Respectfully submitted, Olindo Garofalo, Chairman J. Herbert Libbey, Clerk Alfred S. Tirrell Roger P. Loud Arthur F. Sargent
