The above figures represent a summary of actual figures committed by the Board of Assessors for collection.


In March of 1963, at a regular monthly meeting, the Board of Asses- sors appointed a full-time Executive Secretary, who was not a member of the Board; thereby freeing all the Board-members for field work.


The Weymouth Board of Assessors, in the year 1962, finished an actual viewing of all land parcels in the town, and as a result of this, all these land parcels were equalized taking into consideration present market values, etc. This equalization was completed in time so that the new assessment was applied as of the 1963 tax.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL


December 31, 1963


Town of Weymouth The Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall 75 Middle Street Weymouth, Massachusetts 02189


Gentlemen:


I respectfully present the following for my fourth (4th) annual report of the activities and duties performed by the Town Counsel's office for the year 1963.


A total of fifty-five (55) claims, actions or suits by or against the Town were disposed of during the year, either by settlement on terms considered favorable to the Town or by trial before a Justice in the District or Superior Court or before a jury. A descriptive list of such cases follows.


Approximately thirty-five (35) other claims were filed against the Town for personal injuries or property damage based upon alleged defects in town streets and ways. Relative to such claims, I have continued the policy of causing a prompt police investigation of each claim and securing an im- mediate physical examination of the injured party to determine the nature and extent of alleged injuries. The examinations are conducted by a phy- sician designated by this office. This procedure has reduced payments on account of such claims to the sum of approximately One Hundred Fifty Dol- lars ($150. 00) this year. This sum is most insignificant when one con- siders that a few years ago several thousands of dollars were paid each year to settle such cases. The protection of the public interests in such cases was made possible only through the fine spirit of cooperation extended to the office by Chief of Police, Joseph B. O'Kane, Director of Public Works, Arthur J. Bilodeau, and Assistant Director, Frank Lagrotteria.
