To look backward over the seventy-five years of our history is inspir- ing. To look forward to an ever enlarging community library service for Weymouth is challenging.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Weymouth:


We herewith submit the annual report of the Planning Board for the year ending December 31, 1954.


The Planning Board has held its regular meetings on the first and third Monday of each month during the past year, as well as many special meetings and inspection details throughout the Town. Subdivision Control matters have slowed down considerably, during the past year, partly be- cause of the enactment of Chapter 674 of the Acts of 1953, and partly be- cause of the rewriting of the Planning Board Regulations on February 8, 1954, in compliance thereof, which has resulted in tighter controls on the new developments, closer cooperation between the various town de- partments, as well as caution by banks in a position to lend mortgage money on the new homes. Furthermore, the bonds on the new develop- ments are not released, when completed, until an affidavit is filed by the developer and his engineer, with the Board, together with an affidavit and release by each Town department head, and the necessary steps are completed by the developer to enable the Annual Town Meeting to act upon the acceptance of the new streets as Town ways, which of necessity includes a gift to the Town of all street drains, catch basins, and all other utilities in the road.


During the year much time has been spent on Zoning By-Law changes. Public hearings have been held, as required under the statute, and reports rendered to the Annual Town Meeting and further recommendations will be given to the 1955 Town Meeting by this Board.


Various other matters have been considered by the Board during the past year, including the need for a Town incinerator, drainage, parking, business and industrial areas, locations and effect of the new express highway, need of a Project Engineer, the creation of a Town Engineering Department, and the need for some form of Public Works Department, as well as many other matters, some of which will be reported on by committees at the Annual Town Meeting.


In conclusion, we wish to thank the various Town departments, officials and employees, who have cooperated in rendering their assistance.


Very truly yours, WEYMOUTH PLANNING BOARD

1954


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS


January 1, 1955


The Water Commissioners organized on March 15, 1954 with Stanley T. Torrey as Chairman, and Harry I. Granger as Clerk of the Board. Mr. Granger also to be Treasurer and Collector for the Department, and Emer- son R. Dizer as Accountant. Sydney C. Beane was re-appointed as Super- intendent.


The town continues to grow at about the same rate as in recent years. This results in much activity during the year on new services and new water mains. We continued our reinforcing program using approximately half of the $150,000.00 bond issue of 1954. Plans and specifications for this work was engineered by Superintendent Beane.


During the year we have stressed maintenance of standpipes and re- placement of old equipment, as well as continuing our policy of cleaning a portion of the mains each year.


With the increasing number of air conditioning units which are waste- ful of water, the Board found it necessary to add to the Regulations cover- ing air conditioning installations.


Preliminary layout of the proposed new Expressway through Wey- mouth indicates excavation which might influence the supply of water at the Main Street well. The Water Board has been in conference with the State Department of Public Works, and also the State Department of Public Health to register our concern regarding possible adverse effect upon our supply. The Board has, as a consequence, felt it advisable to be- gin tests for another well site as insurance against possible loss of this emergency supply.


The Board has also been concerned with the repeated flooding of the Circut Avenue Station due, we believe, to the apparent restriction to the flow of the river through culverts under Middle Street. It is the Water Boards recommendation that the size and grade of this drain under Middle Street be adjusted to take the flow of Mill River under all Spring flood conditions.


The Board recommends also that the Town plans include all Water Department easements in order that new owners of property may be aware of easement restrictions.


A comparison of income versus expense in the accompaning report of the Accountant will show a relatively small margin to allot to capital in- vestment for new mains. It is our recommendation that that portion of the cost of running the water works which is chargeable to fire protection should be borne by the property owner as part of his property tax. With the rapid growth of our town, fire protection costs in the form of hydrants and larger water mains for adequate fire flow are becoming a considerable burden which the water taker now pays in his water bills. Unless the town reinstates a hydrant rental form from the tax levy similar to some years ago, it appears that an increase in water rates is inevitable in the very near future.


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:


For the year of 1954, the following report lists the principle activities:


Pumping Stations and Filtration Plant


Intake screens have been renewed, several hydraulic valves in the pipe gallery have been overhauled, two sets of emergency lights have been in- stalled, and the Sterling Engine which drives the emergency pump has been overhauled.


We experienced considerable damage on our watershed due to the hurricanes. With state emergency funds we have cleared all road ways and fire lanes as well as fallen trees near the transformers. To completely eli- minate the fire hazard will require this work of clearing to continue into 1955.


Fencing in the area at the dam, and also to fence off the pumping station intake is recommended.


Because of the large surplus of rainfall, there was very little pumping by the emergency wells.


Water Mains


Cleaning of 5170 linear feet of 6 inch and 8 inch mains was continued this year on West and on part of Summer Street.


The year saw considerable activity on new construction of homes, new developments, acceptance of private streets, and a continuation of the Department's reinforcing program.


In newly accepted streets larger mains were installed in South Avenue, Endicott, Pierce Court, Perry, Harlem, Stratford, Wachusett, Lindale Avenue, and Holmes Avenue. Twelve inch reinforcing mains were in- stalled in portions of Pond, Neck, Lovell, Litchfield, North, Pilgrim, Wash- ington, and on Federal Streets. A total of 32,227 linear feet was installed as listed in tables IV and V.


Standpipes


The Reed Avenue standpipe was cleaned and sandblasted inside, and then painted inside and out.


For the Essex Street standpipe, a 16 inch double acting altitude valve was installed.


It is recommended that the Essex Street standpipe be painted in 1955.


Equipment


Two new trucks with special utility bodies have replaced old main- tenance trucks. Our old 105 cubic foot Chicago Pneumatic compressor and truck was turned in for a new chassis on which we mounted our I. R. compressor. A new Pontiac was purchased for the Superintendent. A two- way radio has been ordered on rental for 4 units of mobile equipment. The increased use of equipment has overtaxed our garage space. It is recommended that a temporary steel garage to house four units be con- structed at the rear of Hollis Street garage.


214


Meters


The construction of new schools, a hospital wing, and super market has required several new three inch meters this year. The new meter tester has definitely improved the quality of meter repairs.


Daily tests for bacteria are made throughout the year. Reports from both our chemist and the State Department of Public Health indicate a constant pure drinking water free from any harmful bacteria.


Our department is grateful for the cooperation of other town de- partments and appreciates the help and council of the Board of Water Commissioners.


Tables of the years activities follow.


Respectfully submitted, SYDNEY C. BEANE Superintendent
