ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK
January 20, 1964
Honorable Board of Selectmen Weymouth, Massachusetts
Attention: Mr. George E. Lane, Chairman
Gentlemen:
Submitted herewith is the Annual Report of the Town Clerk for the year ending December 31, 1963.
1963 showed an increase in Town Fees and Licenses collected in the amount of $526.25.
However, despite the fact that Weymouth for the third year in succes - sion led Norfolk County in the issuance of dog licenses, the total amount of revenue from dog licenses showed a decrease. The refund from the Nor- folk County Treasurer amounted to $3, 599. 22 plus fees of $768. 50 totaled $4, 367. 72. $3, 599. 22 will again be used for school purposes.
Town Clerk fees for both dog and sporting licenses amounting to $1, 081. 85, plus fees collected from other sources in the amount of $8, 784. 50, making a grand total of $9, 866. 35 were turned in to the Treas - urer for the General Fund of the Town.
Due to increased duties and responsibilities as the result of legislative changes in the General Laws as well as the ever increasing population growth in the town additional clerical assistance has been requested for 1964.
For the courtesy and cooperation extended during the past year by your Board and all departments, I extend my thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY CHRISTENSEN Town Clerk

BOARD OF REGISTRARS
Honorable Board of Selectmen Town Hall Weymouth, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Herewith is submitted the annual report of the Board of Registrars covering its activities for the year 1963.
Registration Sessions 7 Business Meetings 3 Elections 1
In 1963 one election was held, namely, the Annual Town Election in March.
Following this election, two requests for recounts were submitted to the Board of Registrars, one for a recount of the votes cast for a member of the Board of Public Works for a term of one year, the other, a recount of the votes cast for Town Meeting Member in Precinct 4. These requested recounts were held at the Pingree School, East Weymouth, on Saturday, March 20th. In each case the results showed only a slight change, insuffi- cient to make any difference in the selection of those candidates elected to the respective offices held on March 11th.
During the year, the routine work of the census taking, registrations of voters, preparation of the Poll List Books and Voting Lists were carried to a successful conclusion.
The total number of registered voters in the Town as of July 30, 1963 is as follows:
Precinct 1
1906
Precinct 2
1926
Precinct 3
1506

SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT AND 1964 BUDGETS
January 1, 1964
To the Citizens of Weymouth
The Board of Public Works respectfully submits its Sixth Annual Report and Budget for 1964 for your perusal and careful consideration. The total 1964 budget is $2, 743, 390. 52. This represents an increase of $195, 395, 50 over the appropriation of 1963.
Since the inception of Public Works in 1958, the Board has successfully controlled its costs through modernization of equipment, better methods and more intelligent utilization of personnel through consolidation. This will continue to be our policy.
Phase I of the Back River Flood Control Project is nearing completion. This project is three years behind schedule. The Division of Rivers and Waterways of the State Department of Public Works, responsible for the letting of the contracts and appropriating their portion of the funds neces- sary have had many administrative problems but now appear to be straigh- tened out. They have indicated that Phase II will be let our for bid in early 1964.
The Board has applied for federal aid to complete two sections of the Swamp River Sewer Trunk. This $200, 000 project could be eligible for 30% aid, or roughly, $60, 000 under the Water Pollution Control Act (P.L. 660). We are optimistic that this will be approved subject to Town Meeting action.
In December, 1963, the Town received a check for $65, 953.00 from the federal government for participation in the North Weymouth Federal-aid Sewer Program. It is our intent to take advantage of every available aid, County, State or Federal, that is practical for the Town.
As the ensuing pages of this report are analyzed, you will note adjust- ments in our $1, 200, 000 Capital Outlay Program. Because only 32% of the Town is sewered, the emphasis will be on the sewer programs for many years to come.
The Master Highway Program has continued with orderly planned progress. The new Winter Street and part of Middle Street was completed in the fall of 1963. This major area of traffic congestion as an exit from the Southeast Expressway is now relieved. Middle Street from Washington Street to Lake Street, is planned for construction during the 1964 season. With State and County co-operation under Chapter 90, we expect to complete the final three sections of Commercial Street by 1965. This will result in a 60' layout and a 40' street from Weymouth Landing to Jackson Square, East Weymouth. The Town will receive a return of $196, 000 on this work under provisions of Chapter 90.
In 1963, in accordance with Chapter 782, the Acts of 1962, the Town of Weymouth received $72, 465. 02 direct State aid for highways. The Department has been informed that in accordance with Chapter 822, Acts of 1963, again the Town is eligible for $72, 465. 02 in 1964.
260
During 1963, a new gravel-packed well (cost $50, 000) was constructed opposite the Public Works Building. This well has a capacity of one million gallons per day. Total water capacity for the Town is now up to eight mil- lion gallons per day. Our daily consumption is about three and one-half million gallons per day. This guarantees the Town an adequate supply of good quality water for many years to come.
Renovations to the Filtration Plant Chemical Storage and Chlorinating Room are nearing completion.
Public Works has started a nursery on Winter Street next to the new well; we intend to expand this in the future to allow the Town to realize a savings in this area by reducing the amount of tree purchases.
Again this year, the public has shown patience while being inconvenienced during the construction season and for this we offer many thanks. Assistance from the Police, Fire, School and all other Departments has been excellent as expected throughout the year. The successful operation of this Depart- ment has been materially aided by the Town Counsel, Board of Selectmen and all other Town officials.
We hope that the people we answer to, you the townspeople, will find that we, the Board of Public Works, have executed our tasks with intelli- gence, prudence and operated truly in the best interests of our Town, Weymouth.

1963 has been one of the busiest years since the inception of Public Works from a construction viewpoint, both by private contract and work accomplished by town forces in the various divisions. Study of the individual division reports following will outline particular work.
In 1963, the Town elected incineration as a means of permanently dis- posing of the rubbish and garbage.
Anticipating operation of the incinerator in late 1964, much planning has been accomplished as to the operation, maintenance and methods of collection. Questionnaires were sent out to various cities and towns with machines com- parable to that designed for Weymouth. It is planned to have rubbish collection go on a weekly basis in the fall of 1964, pinpointing routes to a definite day of the week.

It is also planned to staff the incinerator with the maintenance and oper- ation crew late fall of 1964. Public Works is recommending that the operation and maintenance of the incinerator, the disposal area, the collection of rubbish and garbage be placed under a new Division of Sanitation, Department of Public Works.
A new numerical system of accounting was designed to more effectively control and itemize costs. This system went into effect as of Friday, December 27, 1963.
Following are totals since 1959 requested and/or recommended by the Department, and sums appropriated by various Town Meetings.
These totals include Department Budgets and Capital Outlay items.
