Weymouth, Massachusetts February 2, 1951
I have audited the several accounts of the Treasurer of the Town of Weymouth and find all transactions duly recorded. The securities of the Town were examined, verification was made of all funds in banks by direct contact with the banks and were found to be as set forth in the treasurer's report. I am satisfied that the treasurer has properly accounted to the Town for all funds intrusted to him.

REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN'S SERVICES
December 31, 1950
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Weymouth East Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith to you and through your Board to the townspeople the annual department report for the year 1950.
Our department activities for the year have been considerably ac- celerated and our expenditures correspondingly increased due primarily to present world conditions and recent State legislation. We are referring to Chapter 797, Acts of 1950, which provides that settlement for veterans or servicemen and their dependents is determined by place of residence on date of enlistment or recall to active duty on or after June 25, 1950. This legislation has, at an early date, developed quite an overload for the department, and we are wondering just how long we can perform with- out serious criticism by the State who, as you are aware, provides fifty percent of our expended Benefits total. Briefly, the possibility of additional personnel for the department merits careful consideration.
Since all town department expenditures are reported in detail by the Town Accountant, and also since State credits have been received only through September of 1950, there are no complete figures available for the calendar year. However, you might be interested to know our State credit for the year 1949, which was released late in November of this year and included Burial Allowance, totaled $21,713.62.
In closing we wish to again take this opportunity to thank all who so generously aided us in performing our duties during the past year, par- ticularly Weymouth Red Cross Chapter, Weymouth Family Service, and all veterans' organizations. We also wish to thank your Board and all town departments for their assistance and kind cooperation.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND E. STEIN, Director
