We are most appreciative of the courtesy and cooperation received from the Police Department, Fire Department, Board of Selectmen, School Department, Town Counsel, Town Accountant and other town officials during the past year. The Board is grateful also for the patience and understanding of the general public who experienced some inconvenience during the construction periods of this past year.
In preparing the budget for 1962, the Board of Public Works has been cognizant of the burden that budgetry requirements place upon the taxpayer and we believe that the following report merits your care- ful and deliberate consideration.
To: Hon. Board of Public Works
From: Director of Public Works, Arthur J. Bilodeau
Subject: Fourth Annual Report

The original construction plan for 1961 included a section of Com- mercial St. from Unicorn Ave. to Madison St. This would have avoided the double detour in one section of town; however, the sewer installa- tion in the vicinity of Putnam St. to Madison St. involved a cut of 22 feet through solid ledge.
Broad and Spring St .- Contractor Walter Reed Cor- poration - Cost $115,000.00

At this writing a contract for the first phase is ready for bid. This work will include channel work at the Wool Scour- ing Plant, a new bridge, additional twin 120" culverts under railroad, channel to Broad St. and stilling basin at Broad St. This project estimates at approximately $400,000.00. The second phase is 75% designed and should be bid in the year 1962. This project has been delayed during 1961 be- cause of the workload within the Division of Waterways State Department of Public Works.

Commercial St .- Church to North St. is in the design stage with the State at the present time. The monies ($96,000) were appropriated in 1961 and are held earmarked for this project.
Commercial St .- Madison to Jackson Sq. will have sewer installed under the 1962 Sewer Program. The $96,000 requested this year (Chap- ter 90) will authorize State design in 1962 for 1963 construction.
Commercial St .- Unicorn to Madison is in design at present time --- to be let out for bid early spring. Completion of this project will be scheduled to coincide with the occupancy of the new High School.
Winter Street is in preliminary design at the present time. This work should be planned to tie in with the new construction underway on State Route 18 (Main St.)

XII. Proposed Drainage - 1962
A. Weymouth Back River Flood Control
B. Essex Street Drain
$60,000 75,000
$135,000
The request for $60,000 in 1962 for Flood Control of Whit- man's Pond and Back River will make a total of $500,000 that has been appropriated by the Town. The State is matching this fund, making a total of $1,000,000.
The 1955 estimate of the Consultants for the project was $1,250,000. Two sections to be bid in 1962, will indicate closer what the final total cost will be. Due to changes in conditions caused by Massachusetts Electrical Company relinquishing their rights, it is predicted that the final cost will be more economical that the origi- nal estimate.
The request for $75,000 for supplementary drainage indicated on the Drainage Master Plan in the Essex Street area will alleviate flooding conditions and open up proper drainage in an area from Clapp Memorial to Spring Street.
Following is a Progress Analysis of Master Drainage from 1956 to and including proposed 1962.

b. Surveys, plans and descriptions for takings of widening and relocation of portions of River St., Liberty Square, Fogg Rd., Union St., Gilbert Rd., and Common Land on Church St.
c. Topography and profile of Rockway Ave. for develop- ment of town gravel pit in conjunction with proposed Armory construction.

g. Layout and study for drainage easements for Essex St. Drain from Commercial Street to Colonial Acres.
h. Survey, design, contract plans and specifications for proposed Cranberry Pond Drainage Improvements-to be let out for contract in early Spring.
i. Survey, design, contract plans and specifications for proposed Highway Program 1962, proposed reconstruc- tion of Commercial, Middle and Winter Streets.
j. Layout and design of Master Drainage Trunk Lines for the Rindge Street Drain and High Street Drain.
Through cooperative planning, the private developer of the Heritage Lane Subdivision was required to install a section of the Master Drainage Program from Rindge Street to Cornish Street at no cost to the Town-a saving of approximately $30,000 to the Town. The design and layout of the sewer, in- stalled by the developer, has made it possible for the Town to reach abutting trouble areas many years sooner than expected at very little cost to the Town.
The proposed construction of the new First National Stores Shopping Center at Lower Jackson Square will require the installation of a section of the Master Drainage Program, a 48" drain line from Commercial Street to High Street at no cost to the Town-a saving of approximately $15,000 to the Town.

4. Miscellaneous
a. For the year 1961, $308.00 was turned over to the Town Treasurer for the sale of contracts and plans.
The transfer of the Sewer Engineers into the Engineering Division to form one Engineering Division for the Town under one roof with modern working conditions, has provided more flexibility of service to all departments and the Division has been able to increase the quantity of work and still maintain a high quality.
Following is a summary of Drainage, Roadway and Costs -1961 as engineered by the Department Division.
