In this connection, the following cases are pend- ing or have been settled:
TOWN OF WEYMOUTH VS. GEORGE WILLIS: Pending in the Dis- trict Court of East Norfolk.

In connection with the widening of Commercial Street in the vicinity of Washington Square, the claim of Oman Realty Inc. vs. Town of Wey- mouth for damages sustained in the taking of property of the so called Weymouth Theatre property was settled for the sum of $5,000.00. Under the terms of the settlement, owner is to remove or cause to be removed any structures on the premises or any portion thereof without expense to the Town.
During the year this office rendered various legal services to the Police Department, School Department, Department of Public Works, Fire De- partment, Peronnel Board, Public Works Building Committee, Treasurer's Office, Tax Collector and Department of Public Welfare and Old Age As- sistance.
In an effort to standardize the procedure in connection with purchases and contracts of various Town departments, a standard contract form was prepared for use by all Town Departments. It was received with ap- probation and is currently being used by all departments. It provides for a copy of the contract to the department head, to the contractor or vendor, and to the office of the Town Accountant so that he may at all times be aware of the financial commitments of all Town Departments.
In accordance with Article 29, of the Annual Town Meeting of 1959, and at the request of the Department of Public Works, an Order of Taking was executed by the Board of Selectmen taking by eminent domain ap- proximately 110 acres of land in South Weymouth for the protection of the water supply. Although the said Town Meeting appropriated the sum of $25,000.00 for said takings, thus far this office has been able to nego- tiate settlements of claims for approximately 108 acres of the taking for $10,625.00 or a per acre cost of $98.38. There remains only one claim to be settled which is for approximately 134 acres.
During the course of the year, many written legal opinions have been rendered to various Departments an committees of the Town. Many certificates of entries were prepared for the Public Works Department in connection with highway projects and all land owners notified.
221
In cases involving payment of Town funds, the Honorable Board of Selectmen has been consulted and its approval secured in all cases. In all cases which involved claims by the Town, the Board of Selectmen was consulted and its approval received before settlement.
In reference to tort claims against the Town, due consideration of liability was given and settlement made only when in the best interest of the Town.
Many contracts from various Town Departments were submitted for approval as to form.
Many cases involving taking of land in Weymouth for highway pur- poses by the County of Norfolk and Town of Weymouth have been re- ferred to this office and releases prepared and executed by the land owner in payment of the amount awarded in the Order of Taking.
In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere thanks to each and every department, Board, and department superintendent for the cuortesy and splendid cooperation they have extended to me during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT H. GAUGHEN Town Counsel

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICES
East Weymouth, Mass.
December 31, 1960
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Weymouth
East Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
We wish to submit to your Board and through your Board to the Townspeople our Annual Report for the year 1960.
Our financial cost has been higher than usual this year. This was due to the Bethlehem Steel Shipyard strike on which a total of $97,389.86 was expended and economic conditions in the area. This amount is above the regular departmental expenditure. The total expenditure for the year was $238,254.00. We are asking for $153,400.00 for 1961 which at this time we feel will be sufficient to take care of the responsibilities of the depart- ment.
Because all town departments are covered by our Town Accountant we are not giving a detailed account of expenditures by this office in this report. However, it should be borne in mind that the town is reimbursed fifty perecen't of all expenditures for Veterans' Benefits 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 in 1960. Also we wish to thank your Board and various Town Departments for their kind co- operation.
Respectfully submitted, Flurance I. Lyons, Director Department of Veterans' Services
