THE CROSS OF GRAY
Dedicated to the late Frederick W. Hilton
'Mid Weymouth High's soft lawns and pines A cross of fairest gray Stands sentry o'er the youthful lines That pass him day by day. He teaches in his gentle way That spirit cannot die! "Pro Patria!" we hear him say, "Means love for Weymouth High!"
Staunch stands the watch of Weymouth High And gives for our brave dead These simple passwords to the hill Where Weymouth's men are bred. We love thee! Alma Mater! Oh let the years roll by! Our song we raise! Louds rings the praise ! Of grand old Weymouth High!

At a meeting on September 23rd, the final plans and specifications were approved, and it was voted to advertise for bids on September 29th and to open bids on October 20th. Twelve bids were received for the construction of the building, the lowest being $1,811,000.00, submitted by the Concrete Construction Company of Chelsea.
At a Special Town Meeting held on November 9th, the sum of $2,085,- 000 was voted for the construction and equipping of the school. The con- tract was awarded to the low bidder on November 16th and construction started the next day.

Annual Report

Water Department

ABORARE ESTE VINCER RE
MASSACHUSETTS
WEYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS
1953
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
The Board of Water Commissioners herewith submit their report for the year 1953.
The building of new homes has continued at nearly the same rate as the previous year, totaling 451 new services. A glance at the tabulated list of mains installed will disclose many short extensions of mains which were necessary to reach new construction. These extensions were financed by taking $50,000 from earnings by appropriating Surplus Funds of the Department in order to postpone another bond issue.
Besides these minor extensions, we are concerned also with the costs of new developments, particularly those which are being built in outlying districts of the Town. To provide adequate fire protection to these areas will require replacement or reinforcement of many present water mains leading up to these developments. This construction will be in addition to our overall program of reinforcement of mains which we are endeavoring to construct as fast as income is made available.
Since these small mains should be replaced faster than can be provided by present income, it is proposed that $40,000 be raised and appropriated from the tax levy. This appropriation for fire protection is in line with many other cities and towns, and it also will reaffirm the method of financing by the so-called hydrant rental as appropriated by the Town previous to 1931.
The 68-year-old Reed Avenue standpipe was inspected inside and out by our Consulting Engineers, Weston and Sampson of Boston. Their recommendation for painting will proceed in 1954.
The cleaning of 9,723 lineal feet of water mains on Main Street and on Pond Street gave excellent results in improving the flow in the lines. We shall continue this policy of cleaning a portion of mains during the coming year.
Respectfully submitted, WEYMOUTH BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
Stanley T. Torrey, Chairman Harry I. Granger, Clerk John E. Horace Clarence W. Taylor Joseph Crehan
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
To the Weymouth Board of Water Commissioners:
The construction of new homes continued at a rapid pace during 1953. Of the 451 new services installed, many required mains to be extended. Several new developments were connected the past year. To extend the Reinforcing Program, mains were installed on Main Street from the Main Street well to Winter Street, on Glendale Street, and on a portion of Sum- mit Street ..
Three thousand six hundred and sixty lineal feet of mains were cleaned on Main Street and 6,063 lineal feet on Pond Street. All pumps at the Filter Plant were overhauled, and the Shop and the Emergency Pump House at the Filtration Plant were painted.
331
No new equipment was added this year other than a welder, which is now in use.
Mr. Gladwin, a Filter Operator since the plant started, retired in January, 1953. During the year, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Rexford resigned, and Mr. Craig and Mr. Corridan were added to our force. Within the office, Mrs. Damon and Miss Balfour resigned, and Miss Brown and Miss Remondini were engaged as clerks.
Both emergency stations were run during the summer and fall. Bac- terial and chemical tests for both stations as well as daily examinations at random throughout the Town showed no harmful bacteria present at any time.
For the coming year, I recommend hydraulic valves at the Filtration Plant be overhauled, wash water lagoon be cleaned, the Reed Avenue and Essex Street Standpipes be painted, that an altitude valve be installed at Essex Street, and that new equipment be purchased to include a front end loader, as well as additional trucks.
The Water Department appreciates the co-operation of the Sewer Department during pipe installations, and extends its thanks also for the co-operation of the other Town Departments and Boards, including the constant help and co-operation of the Board of Water Commissioners.
Respectfully submitted, SYDNEY C. BEANE Superintendent
