DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES


December 31, 1953


The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall


East Weymouth, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


We submit herewith to you and through your Board to the towns- people our Annual Report for the year 1953.


Our department activities for the year have fluctuated somewhat, but in the main have been more or less constant. Even though there has been a very marked business recession locally, the effect has not been too noticeable up to the present and should not be until all Unemploy- ment Compensation Benefits are absorbed in 1954. By then it is reason- able to assume that business and industry generally will have developed a stable and satisfactory overall adjustment. In addition to the Unem- ployment Compensation Benefits referred to, Social Security Benefits, . Federal Pensions, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Benefits have been con- tributing factors in holding our annual Veterans' Benefits expenditure to less than the $80,000 provided. Accordingly, the benefit realized from these agencies justifies our request for a like amount for Veterans' Bene- fits in 1954.


Since all town department expenditures for the year are covered in detail elsewhere by the Town Accountant, and further because we have only received credit from the State through September 1953, there are no complete and accurate account figures available for the year on which we could offer further comment. However, we have received verified figures from the State Auditor for 1952 which show a total refund credit of $33,782.75 for Veterans' Benefits in addition to a Burial Allowance total of $16.00 and War Allowance total of $478.00.


In conclusion we wish to take this opportunity to thank all individuals and organizations who contributed towards our success during the year, with a special thank you to the Visiting Nurse Association for their bene- ficial help and generous cooperation on the various home care cases. Also we wish to express our gratitude and thanks to your Board and all Town departments for their cooperation and assistance during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


RAYMOND E. STEIN, Director


BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS


December 21, 1953

REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT


To the Citizens of Weymouth:


Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Con- trol Project for the year ended December 31, 1953:


The Town of Weymouth appropriated the amount of $8,000 for mos- quito control for 1953. This money was to be used for mosquito control in the town by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a cooperative program for mosquito control embracing the Towns of Weymouth, Hing- ham, Braintree, Cohasset and Hull and the City of Quincy.


Below is a summary of the first season's operations.


TYPE OF CONTROL PROGRAM INSTITUTED


A control program designed to wipe out the majority of the mos- quitoes while they are in the larval or "wiggler" stage in the water was chosen. This type of control has been shown to be most effective and most economical by experience in New England, elsewhere in the United States and in other part of the world. It is felt that such a program car- ried forward on a scientific basis will afford better controi at less cost than a program of combatting the adult mosquitoes after they have emerged, spread, and begun to bite.
