REPORT OF THE HEALTH OFFICER
Weymouth Board of Health 402 Essex Street Weymouth 88, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Following is the report of the Health Agent for the year ending De- cember 31, 1955.
During the past year, 754 cases of communicable diseases were re- ported. In 1955, the Town had 96 cases of polio. Salk poliomyelitis vaccine was given to 1,272 children in the first and second grades. Of all the children inoculated against this disease two children came down with polio, and these two were non-paralytic cases. During 1956, we are plan- ning to inoculate all children from 1 to 14 years of age. This program is recommended by the State Department of Public Health.
Swab tests of eating and drinking utensils have been taken and the restaurants and eating places have been inspected and licensed. During the year, one eating establishment was closed due to unsanitary conditions.
Dairies and pasteurization plants have been inspected regularly. Samples have been taken of milk, cream, butter, oleo and food products for bacteriological examinations. During the flood of 1955, all food and drugs were inspected and much of this was condemned and destroyed.
In the past year the Board Members and Health Agent have attended health conferences at the Massachusetts State College and the Univer- sity of Maine. Public health was discussed and much information was gained.
Regular monthly meetings of the Board of Health are held on the second Thursday of the month.
Respectfully yours HENRY F. GODIN Health Agent

NURSING HOMES
There are eight nursing homes and three rest homes in Weymouth. Inspections were made periodically to each home to see that the owners were complying with the Rules and Regulations of the Mass. Department of Public Health. On most of these inspections, I was accompanied by Helen F. Adams, R.N., Hospital Inspector of the Massachusetts Dpeartment of Public Health. A report of the conditions found in these homes was recorded and filed for future reference.
SALK POLIOMYELITIS VACCINE CLINIC
Upon the recommendation of the State Polio Advisory Committee, th Salk poliomyelitis vaccine clinic was organized in Weymouth. Children in the first and second grades were given an opportunity to receive the vaccine free of charge. Local physicians volunteered their services to administer the first injection of the vaccine. Through their splendid co- operation, and the cooperation and assistance of the school nurses and the Weymouth Visiting Nurses' Association, the clinic was a success.
The total number of children eligible to participate in this program was 2,350. Of this number, 1,272 children, with the consent of their parents, received the first injection of the vaccine during the last week in May. Two cases of non-paralytic polio occurred among the 1,272 children inoculated with the Salk vaccine.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
January 1, 1956
Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Weymouth:
The Water Commissioners organized for 1955 with Mr. Stanley T. Torrey as Chairman and Mr. Harry I. Granger as Clerk. Mr. Granger was re-appointed Treasurer and Collector and Mr. Dizer as Accountant. Sydney C. Beane was re-appointed as Superintendent.
During the dry period of the summer season the large consumption of water has prompted us to call for a general survey of the Water Works System by our consultant, Weston and Sampson of Boston. A preliminary report indicates additional storage as immediately necessary besides speed- ing up our reinforcing program for water mains.
To meet the additional costs involved, studies are in progress for ne- cessary increased income by reviewing water rates, billing period and for resuming charges for hydrant rental.
Major items undertaken during the year included painting of the Essex Street standpipe, installation of two-way radio in four mobile units, and continuation of the program of cleaning mains.
We are concerned with the large amount of expenditure required for new and larger mains to provide the required flows for fire protection to accommodate the growing construction of homes and business espe- cially in outlying districts of the town. We advocate that the tax levy carry its proportionate share of this protection to the tax payer. The latter bene- fits by keeping his insurance rates at the present level.
Again we call attention to the lack of drainage under Middle Street near Route 3. Twice during the year, the runoff due to heavy rains has been restricted at this location so that the pumping station at Circuit Avenue has been flooded.
We regret the passing of Mr. Tirrell and Mr. Nosiglia .. The depart- ment will miss both of these men who have served us long and faithfully.
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:
Your Superintendent is pleased to submit his 17th annual report for the year 1955.
The South Weymouth Pumping Station and Filtration Plant has, for the most part, kept up with the growing consumption of water, except during the extreme hot periods of the summer season when it became ne- cessary to call on the emergency wells for aid. No restrictions, however. were required on lawn sprinkling. At the Station the heating apparatus, as well as the chlorinator was overhauled and hydraulic valves in the pipe gallery required intermittant attention. Fencing was installed to protect the public from the intake and from the lagoon. A gasoline driven generator has been added to take care of emergency power for small motors and for mobile radio equipment.
With increasing demand on filters it is recommended that an addi- tional pipe line be installed from coagulation basin to the filters. Filter control tables should be overhauled.
The Hollis Street Garage is now too small. It is recommended that this 1885 building be altered and enlarged to improve shop and storage space, as well as to provide proper conveniences for the men. One new Chevrolet dump truck was purchased, replacing the old 1948 dump.
On the distribution system, the cleaning program this year included 1825 lineal feet of 14 inch from Great Pond to Hollis Street and 4010 lineal feet of 12 inch from Columbian Square to Hollis Street. The Essex Street standpipe was painted and fencing was erected around Reed Avenue standpipe.
The Department personnel regrets the passing of Mr. Marshall Tirrell and Mr. Joseph Nosiglia. Mr. Tirrell served the Water Department first as Registrar and Collector and later as Office Manager. Mr. Nosiglia has served for many years as Storekeeper and also as Patrol Officer.
The rapid growth and water consumption points up the need for ad- ditional facilities, both at the pumping station and in the distribution system. More storage and a continuation of our reinforcing program for water mains should be considered for 1956. Consideration should also be given to auxillary power in the event of electrical power failure. Studies are in progress to determine ways and means to meet these additional costs.
Your Superintendent wishes to express his gratitude for the coopera- tion of the Board, and also to extend appreciation to all departments for their cooperation.
Tables covering data for the past year's activities follow.
Respectfully submitted, SYDNEY C. BEANE Superintendent
