REPORT OF SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
December 9, 1957
To the Citizens of Weymouth:
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project of its activities in the Town of Weymouth for the year ending December 31, 1957.
The Town of Weymouth appropriated $8,500 for mosquito control in 1957. This money was used for mosquito control in the Town of Wey- mouth by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy, and Towns of Braintree, Cohasset, Dux- bury, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth. In addition, the Project worked under contract for the U. S. Naval Ammuni- tion Depot. This government area lies in the middle of our Project and thus affects four of our towns. The cooperation of the Navy Department in this matter has, this past year, helped people in this area and will in the future be of greater benefit.
Type of Control Program
The basic program of control continued to be based on drainage in the off-season and larvaciding of all areas found to be breeding during the mosquito season. This program was supplemented by application of D.D.T. dust to selected areas during the period when the swamps were frozen. Fog generators and a mist blower were used to combat flying mosquitoes.
Encephalitis
As a result of the dry weather and/or other factors not yet recog- nized, Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis did not appear in humans in Massachusetts this past summer. However, since the therat is definitely present, the Project has, the past year, acquired additional ground equip- ment of the types most useful during Encephalitis outbreaks. During the period when Encephalitis is most likely to occur, the Project will be in contact with the Massachusetts Department of Health, the U. S. Public Health Service and other mosquito control agencies in a cooperative effort to recognize the danger signs so that work can be directed against the suspected species of mosquitoes.
Last spring the U. S. Public Health Service established a research laboratory at Taunton to study the disease. During the past summer basic data was gathered, procedures established, and personnel trained. The long term aims of this laboratory's work are incrimination of a vec- tor or vectors, the development of means for recognizing potentially dan- gerous years, and a method of attack to prevent epidemics.
An area wide mosquito control effort is our only present defense against the disease. The recent formation of a Plymouth County Mosquito Con- trol Project will be of great benefit to this Project. For the first time we are completely surrounded by areas in control districts and migrations of mosquitoes into the district will be reduced.
Aerial Spraying
Thes pring spraying of all fresh water swamps too large to be treated by hand was done in the latter part of April.
2,891 acres were sprayed in the Town of Weymouth.
229
Ground Spraying
The ground crews circulated on a schedule throughout their sections of the Project. They varied from this circuit to treat in the vicinity of complaints or to treat places found to be breeding by the superintendent or the inspector. They then returned to their rounds.
Catchbasin Spraying
Three catchbasin units were operated the past season. These units are compressed air sprayers mounted on three-wheeled motorcycles.
This phase of the work is particularly important in built up arease since one drainage basin can produce thousands of mosquitoes per week throughout the summer.
Drainage
Since last summer was dry, less spraying was necessary, therefore the crews were able to do ditching and stream clearance from time to time. The addition of this work to regular off-season drainage will save further spraying next summer.
In November the Project purchased a hydraulic trencher mounted on a tractor suitable for use in marshy conditions. This machine will be used in conjunction with the saltmarsh trench cleaner, as well as in fresh marsh drainage work.
Adult Mosquito Control
During the past year an additional fogging machine was in operation and a donated mist blower was used. The present three adulticiding macines will enable us to do spot adulticiding at a pace beyond that of past years and will be good insurance in the event of an Encephalitis out- break.

Plans for Winter
Throughout the months between the past and coming mosquito breed- ing seasons much attention will be given to ditching. Work on the salt- marsh will be done in the fall and early spring and the colder winter months will be spent in the more protected fresh water areas.
When snow and ice conditions are right, prehatch dusting, as was done the last four years, will be done.
In addition to the ground dusting noted above, further experimental prehatch applications of D.D.T. dust will be made from the air.
Plymouth County Retirement System
The employees of the Project were accepted into the Plymouth County Retirement System on January 1, 1957. The Commission feels that hav- ing the employees enrolled in the System works to the benefit of the Pro- ject since it lessens the likelihood of experienced employees leaving to take other jobs.
Plans for Next Year
All phase of the work carried out in the past will continue. Catch- basin spraying will be done with Dieldrin, a newer insecticide which is effective longer than D.D.T. and thus reduces, by at least one, our appli- cations resulting in a modest saying in labor costs. This saving can be used to further implement the policy of the Commission to drain all feasible places and thus cut the costs of repetitive spraying. This policy has made it possible to keep total expenditures at a constant level in spite of increased labor and material costs.

The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall
East Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
We wish to submit herewith to your Board and through your Board to the townspeople our Annual Report for the year 1957.
Our financial cost has been about the same as last year. We are asking for the same amount in Ordinary Benefits for the year 1958 as we received in 1957. Although our expenditures in 1957 were less than was appropriated we feel that because of a proposed increase in budgets that the State Office has approved, plus the fact the Secretary of Labor has stated there will be more unemployment in 1958 than in 1957, we feel the same amount ($120,000.00) should be appropriated. The Town has received about $55,000.00 in return in 1957, and therefore the cost to the Town, based on the $120,000.00 appropriated, has been about $65,000.00 for Ordinary Benefits for 1957.
Because all town department expenditures are covered by our Town Accountant we are not giving detailed expenditures of our office in this
231
report. However, it must be borne in mind that our town is reimbursed fifty percent of all department expenditures for Veterans' Benefits, War Allowance, and State Burial Allowance.
We wish to take this opportunity to express our thanks to all those who assisted us in the performance of our duties this year. Also we wish to thank your Board and various Town Departments for their kind co- operation.
Respectfully submitted, F. I. Lyons, Director Department of Veterans' Services

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
January 15, 1958
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Weymouth, Mass.
Gentlemen:
During the year 1957 we prepared for opening in 1958, playgrounds at Idlewell and Julia Road. Land on Pilgrim Road has been acquired from the government and construction started at Clapp Memorial field.
Large scale beautification of our greens was carried on in the fall with many plantings.
Our summertime programs at the playgrounds and beaches were ex- tended an extra week and the programs enlarged.
Our year-round recreation program was curtailed late in the year due to the lack of funds as a result of a large cut-back in budget requests.
All programs conducted were popular and well attended and our fa- cilities were well used.
The Park Department extends their thanks to the various town offi- cials and other departments for their fine cooperation throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted, EVERETT J. McINTOSH, Chairman JOSEPH D. SLATTERY OTTO C. MASON
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF CIVIL DEFENSE
January 23, 1958
Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall
Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith a report covering the activities of Civil Defense for 1957.
Weymouth Civil Defense organizations during 1957 have operated in accordance with the orders issued by State Headquarters, who in turn are responsible to the regulations of the Federal Government. There still seems to be however a lack of co-ordinated effort to convince the general pubilc that Civil Defense under existing conditions is of real importance. The maor change of idea during the year is that Mass Evacuation has been replaced with the possibility of large public shelters. There is however no realtistic program and the entire complex and very expensive program is indefinite.
Weymouth Civil Defense has operated satisfactorily on a town level, mostly through its three active units; Auxiliary Police, Communicatinos,
233
and Radiological. These units have been alerted several times during the year by SState and Federal orders. In addition, our Auxiliary Police have spent many hundreds of hours on traffic duty which has reduced traffic violations in Weymouth to a minimum. Mobile Communications has also given many hours of service in conunction with the Police Department.
During the year our communications' system has been extended to adequately cover the entire town. Also, a new 25KV9 generator has been provided for our Civil Defense headquarters and the Police Station. All equipment has been purchased on a matched fund basis at a cost of only 50% to the town.
We wish to congratulate those in our active organization for their services rendered the town and thank all those on our inactive list who are on call should an emergency arise.
Respectfully submitted, HERBERT W. CAUSER, Director, Weymouth Civil Defense
