North Street and Shaw Pearl and Evans Street Wessagussett Road
As a member of the Norfolk County 4-H Club Advisory Committee, my field extends beyond the limits of our Town.
Lectures to local improvement groups, youth groups, participation in program planning, speaking before professional shade tree groups, Uni- versity of Massachusetts tree wardens, arborists and public untilities con- ference are all on the agenda for educational services.
Exhibits on the following subjects were prepared by Kiwanis Trade Show on composts and mulches and Weymouth Fair.
A-Exhibit of Tree Division equipment.
B-Tree Warden's Office-with rustic furniture cut out of logs, refer- ence library, oddities in wood, insect and disease specimens, in rustic in- terior setting to provide atmosphere for the theme.
C-As "Smoky the Bear" at the Fair, talking fire prevention and pro- tection of the forests serves to bring the educational field to even the youngest of our citizens.
D-The creation of realistic play equipment by our department has brought a new and wise use for the vast number of tree trunks which are otherwise burned in the log disposal area.
Previously a covered wagon complete with wooden horses and, this year, a locomotive, tender and cars were an outstanding attraction to all age groups at the Fair.
At the suggestion of Mr. Kirrane of the Recreation Department, we made benches for use at the Fair, and as time permits picnic tables and benches for our parks can be turned out at no expense beyond labor, and as they rot out, they can be easily replaced.
There is no end to the creations that can be turned out, as the imagi- nation begins to work on it, and there will be a further prolonging of the usefulness of our trees.
During the year, several news stories on current insect and disease problems have been used by the press to enlighten people on seasonal problems affecting their trees. This is a good medium to purvey knowledge to the public, and the only limitation is the time to relax and concentrate long enough to do these stories.
In this field, we are often called upon to provide services and share experiences for surveys and for the use of other agencies many times out of state.
As a member of the Shade Tree Evaluation Committee of the National Shade Tree Conference, I have a broader duty to perform in the educa- tional field, as the evaluations as set forth by this committee are standard for court cases, federal income tax claims, etc., for damages where trees are involved.
I am also on the Board of Directors of the Arbor Day Association, which group is endeavoring to augment a national Arbor Day observance.
The elimination of poison ivy on public property is a serious and diffi- cult problem. Repeated spraying and concentration of effort is required for permanent eradication of this plant nuisance.
A new revolutionary material, Amino Triazole, has been developed
297
which, while experimental, has proven highly successful. A year ago, a trial of this material was made by our department, and its non-toxic effect on the workman as well as its complete kill on poison ivy has proven to us that it is the most effective type and most economical weed killer to use.
JAPANESE BEETLE CONTROL
A long range program for the control of Japanese beetle has been undertaken. Through the development of Milky Spore disease powder, it is now possible to attack this vicious plant-eating insect with a natural enemy. Applications of this spore powder to certain lawn areas will grad- ually come in contact with beetle grubs feeding under the turf. The in- fection of these beetles is continually transmitted to other Jap Beetles until the disease becomes widesprad, eventually making the control of this pest a minor problem.
The application of 300 pounds of Milky Spore disease powder to 93 separate grass areas throughout the Town is the most wide-scale operation of its kind in this area.
GENERAL
Other phases of our work, tree pruning, spraying, nursery care and maintenance, roadside brush cutting, removal of tree hazards, storm work, all receive their proper attention as needed.
Respectfully submitted,
V. LESLIE HEBERT,
Superintendent of Trees.

VII WATER DIVISION
(a) The year 1958 presented additional duties to the Water Division forces.
Each culvert that is reconstructed either under the Town Highway or Drainage Program necessitates major changes and renovations of the water mains. Often the particular work at the structure will require major changes in the entire area. In the reconstruction of streets alone, each service has to be checked. Old services are replaced and in some cases service stubs are installed to serve future homes that might be built on vacant land. At many intersections, larger water main spurs are cut-in and installed a limited distance off the new construction to serve as a future reinforcing line, saving the effort and expense of ripping up a section of the new road later.
The serious problem of the future (5-10 years) ability of the Town's water supply to adequately serve the ever-growing population is a major concern of this office. The writer urgently recommends that the Board, Town Meeting Members and citizens of Weymouth be cognizant of the
298
importance of water supply and service. It is common knowledge amongst the nation's highest technical authorities that the national water supply is dwindling because of increased population, increased common usage of water, lond development, and drainage innovations.
The Town of Weymouth is indeed fortunate in having had a man with the foresight and ability that the present Water Division Superintendent possesses.
This office will continue to seek and urge the development of new sources of water, more storage, and increased delivery of water through reinforcement.
This office is recommending certain reclassifications and additional personnel in order that the division may be able to accomplish the addi- tional work and also maintain a high standard of progress in its regular functions.
(b) Report of Water Division Superintendent to the Superintendent of Public Works.
Mr. Arthur J. Bilodeau, Superintendent of Public Works
Weymouth, Massachusetts
The Water Division submits herewith its 75th Annual Report of the Weymouth Water Works for the year 1958.
NEW SOURCES
A new well site was found near Swamp River. This site, which indi- cates a potential of 500,000 gallons per day, has been tested and approved by the State Department of Public Health. Negotiations are now in progress to procure the land.
A relatively small well site has also been found off Pleasant Street with probable capacity of 250,000 gallons per day. Excessive land cost is holding this site in abeyance while the Swamp River site is developed.
WATER SHED
Preliminary surveys have been started to determine feasibility of constructing an extra storage reservoir at the South end of Great Pond.
During the past year, excavation of gravel has continued along the shores of the Pond south of the wash water lagoons. A considerable area has been added to the Pond, which includes the new wash water lagoon.
FILTRATION PLANT AND PUMPING STATION
Many items at the Station were overhauled this year to safeguard uninterrupted service.
Chemical feeder motors were overhauled.
No. 8 Pump bearings and controller equipment replaced.
Starters for all pumps overhauled and spare contacts obtained.
A sump pump installed in outside valve pit.
New cable replaced for chemical hoist.
Cable renewed to Police Signal Box.
Replaced booster pump for filter operating tables.
Wash troughs to filters and filter walls painted.
299
Boiler repaired. Chlorinator repaired.
A new 16-inch water line from coagulation basin to filters was in- stalled.
Painted pumps, inside of Station and wash water tank.
The coagulation basin was cleaned twice this year, the new lagoon being used for the first time.
Finished construction of protective dyke.
Excessive rainfall this year has kept the pond relatively high. Con- sumption for 10 months was 915 M.G., with probable total of 1125 M.G. for the year. Chemical and bacteriological tests are being made by Reilly Laboratories, 324 Commercial Street, Weymouth. All indicators and test standards at the station are in accordance with the State Department of Health standards. All reports indicate our treatment satisfactory and free from harmful bacteria, both from local laboratories and that of the State.
EMERGENCY PUMPING STATIONS
The following equipment was overhauled:
New pump and motor for feeding soda ash solution.
Overhaul of gasoline motor on chlorine pump.
Chemical feeder motor overhauled.
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Contract No. 582 was awarded to J. W. Parker for 3650 lineal feet of 12-inch cast iron cement lined pipe on Wadaga, Wessagussett, Sea, Babcock and Birchbrow.
Contract No. 581 was awarded to Mulcahy Bros. for pipe on various streets as follows:
350 lineal feet- 8-inch C. I .- Fisher Road
270 lineal feet- 6-inch C. I .- Blake Road
632 lineal feet- 8-inch C. I .- Burkhall Street

and 500 lineal feet t of 6-inch was installed on Johnson Road by E. T. Dwyer Corp.
Various mains were raised or lowered to accommodate new drainage culverts at Middle, Broad, Commercial, Pleasant, Front, Mill and Harland Streets.
Taps and reinforcing mains were extended beyond newly constructed roads on Lochmere and Standish Streets from Evans, Webb from Broad, and Harding from Commercial.
300
Several shut-off boxes were moved, services renewed, and hydrants moved on Broad, Commercial and Evans Streets.
Many adjustments were necessary at Pleasant, Middle, Main, Front and Summer Streets to accommodate relocations or regrading of water mains and services due to construction of the Southeast Expressway.
During the first ten months of the year there were 233 renewals and 130 new services installed.
STANDPIPES
A new standpipe is being engineered by Weston and Sampson for erec- tion on Great Hill, North Weymouth. This additional storage is proposed to be constructed of pre-pressed concrete and store 500,000 gallons. Con- struction will include a pipeline to connect with the 12-inch main on Lovell Street with provision for drainage emptying to drainage on Lovell Street.
EQUIPMENT
Two trucks were replaced this year, one three-quarter ton and one one-ton Ford trucks from Jannell Motors, Inc.
