HArCKI:`I''T JAINzES KILEY I LLIAAM H. LUCAS REPORT OF SELECTMEN Finances. In considermi g our financial condition, there are three things that we must keep in mind; town debt, tax rate, and public improvements. Tl-Le lest mentioned is as important as the first two. To consider the first t%vo and leave out the last would be like addint; 'ap ane side of the ledger and neglectiing the other. In nmicing a. stud), of any or all of the above -mentioned paints, as they apply to our town finances, we have reason to be well pleased, although, perhaps, not entirely satisfied. Looking hack to the time of the organization of our Finance Coirimittee, we find that the town debt of $721, 025 was about 5.2 per cent of €aur valuation; in 1912, about, 4.7 per cent of the valuation, in 1914, about 4.2 per cent. The close of the year 1.015 shows a town debt of $775,725, which: with our valuation of $19,830,700 brings the pexcentage down to 3.0 per cent. This is very gratifyirng, particularly so when we realize that the comparative size of the debt is an important factor in determining our tax rate. Of the 9,20.20 on each$1000 which we paid last year, $2.03 was used to pay our intent charges. As the comparative size of our debt decreases, we can spend more on improvements without increasing our tax Fate. fsomp�rin,g our tax rate with that of other towns simEarly situated, we have no reason to complain. Jjrhile tovvms like Milton,VVeston, and Brookline,wit,h a large amount of personal property,Have a lower tax rate, quo Have only to look at Arling- ton, Somerville, Everett, Quincy, Medford„ Malden, Chelsea and Re-sere, with an average ratc of $22-93 per thousand, to realize that our rate is not -unreasonable. This showing is a good one when we consider that in the past twenty-five years we have piirchated our water system, replacing a large amount of the cement-lined sheet-iron pipe. We have built six nc-,v modern schoolhouses at a east of$692,000} 8 RLPORT 4F SELECTMEN 9 We have-widened and rebuilt several of our main thoroughfares, improving the general condition of the streets and sideiwOks, built a$66,000 bridge across the Charles River,made permanent additions to our dr dnabe system, such as the twelve-foot out- fall drain on Spring Street, and the new five-foot drain on the west', branch of the 'Treadaway Brook, which has been built; this year to a point in the rear of the Public Library. We have constructed a sower system second to none. The new map of our saver system in our engineer's office is a revelation, even to the officials themselves, showing as it does ho-w completely the town is sewered. These and many other improvements have been made whEc wn have, at the same time, been reducing our percentage of indebtedness. With the rapidly increasing population is coming an increase in expenses which is out of proportion to the increase in valuation. Only by careful finan i g and good business management: in expending our money can we hope to keep our tax rate down where it is at present, and, at the same time. meet the increased demands. Recards and Accounts. It is with a degree of satisfaction that we are able to report that the matter of the shortage in the accounts of tax-collector, Joseph B. Holland, has been satisfactorily adjusted -with the Massachusetts Banding Company, Mr. Holland resigned on February 2, 1911"), and Barry W. Brigham, Town Treasurer, was appointed to fill the vacancy until the March meeting, when F. J. Colby was elected. Following the: resignation of Mr. Holland, and after an exarnination of the books, it was detern-ained that the shortage„ as far as any entry on the books was concerned, was limited to the years 1913, 1914, and January, 1915. Mr. George hyall, public accountant, was employed to make an audit of the books. This work was doric with despatch, and by Augugt the Toum Council was able to snake a demand on the bonding company for 5,916.16, that being the amount of the shortage. The bonding; company accepted our accountant's report without leaving their auditors rnak'c an examination of the boles, and, on August 18, 1915, sent us a check in fuU for the amount of the shortage. 10 )VA.TERTOWN TOWN REPORT Daring the past year our Town Auditor has made some changes in the method of accotuiting which affect many of the departments, and wi11, we believe, enable hire to keep a closer check on the tm%m finances. While this entails more work- both for the Auditor and the depai tmeiits, we believe it is absclately necessary, and we tnist that; future boards gill see that tlicse regulations, -v�*hich were approved of by the public accountant, are complied NN th. In the past few years great improvements have been made under the direction of our Town Clerk in the rnethad of filing records. This is of great imparta ace, and we feel that, consideriii# the small sum at his disposal, he has accomplished much that future officials will thank hire for. During the past year now vaults fGr storing of records have been f ttcd up in the basement. Insurance. An lml)ortant charge has becn made during the year in our insurance. September 1st all the existing insurance policies ivere cancelled, and new ones taken out tinder a blanket form, crying a uniform rate of $1.20 per tbousand far five years. This covers all buildings and contents; the former for 80 per cent, and the latter up to 90 per cent of their value. Under the old system, each bt ildin,g was covered separately, and was subject to the rate of its class. This made it very difficult to beep in touch -with for the Board of Selectmen, Changing in membership, as it does, from year to year. As a proof of this, we found, when we came to go carefully into the situation, many very imsatisfactory conditions. Not only will it be much easier in the future to take care of the insurance, but the rate is niuch lower. The insurance poll( es expiring in 1915 carried a n average rate of 81.90.as against mir present new rate of S1.20. Acting in behalf of the Toxin, and for o-arselves personally, we wish to here express o-ur thanks and appreciation for the service rendered by Mr. Herbert Coolidge in connection math this work, for which lie refused to accept any remuneration. REEPDRT OF SELECTMEN �X Police. The efficiency of the Police Department has been increased dung the past year by the addition of one patrolman, sub- stituting are auto ambulance and patrol for the old horse`--drawn vehicle, and by the re-arrangeanent of the ratites cut Bred by the officers. The new officer was not appointed until 'late in the year owing to the fact that the CiNil Service Commission did not submit a list earlier. The new araibulance and patrol is a. great addition to the department, not only in cases of accident, but in that it enables the officers to quickly reach any part of the tm-,-n in other cases of trouble. In the re- arraagement of the routes and time for patrolmen to report at boxes, it has been arranged so that the station is now in closer and more frequent touch with the men in the places where they are most likely to be needed. We Dave at least two men at the station all the time, one of wham is qualified to drive the ambulance. As in 1914, only one pony express license was ;ranted, and, thus far, we havee no reason to feel that we have ode a mistake. We have reason to expect that in the coming session of the legislature, a bill will be enacted which will enable us to a gmater extent to step the transjacarta.tion of liquor into the town. Overseers of the Poor. For all the departments under the Overseers of the Poor it was a. trying year. As was anticipated at the beginning of the year, the expenditures have been unusually- large. In every department, i%rith the exception of the blathers' Aid, we have been obliged to exceed the appropriation hi order to give relief to those in want. Toga. Hall. Three new offices have been fitted up during the past year in the town hall building. Under the present arrangexrient, the Building Inspector and the 'Town Almorier have separate offices, and the &1ectmen and Town Clerk have another office in the rea-v of the old Selectmen's room which can now; he used as a hearing room, or for committee meetings, and, at the same thine, not inconvenience the 'town Clerk or Selectmen. 12 WA,TERTOWN TOWN REPORT To accomplish this, it R s necessary to fit up storage rooms in, the basement for the School Committee and Town Clerk. Highways. For a detailed report of the warp clone by the Highway Department, reference should be made to the report of the Superintendent of Streets. e recoimnend for reconstruction in 1916 the unfinished part of Nlount Auburn Street, Dexter Aveiiue, Howard Street, Spruce Street, School Street ,and Galen Street. 'Where are some residential streets which sho-ald claim our attention, but as the expense of repairing therm will be corn- paratively small, they can be takon care of with the appropria- tion for maintenance. If the Boston Elevated Railway should still refuse to comply with our wishes with regard to Galen Street, the amount estimated for this street can be spent to the best advantage on Main Street. The Town has as option on a strip of land necessary for the widening of School Street, which expires in September and which should be exercised at Mice in order that this important improvement may be carried out next Sun=er. As nearly every lot in front of which this strip of land runs is already built upon, it is only fair that the work of widening should no longer be delayed. Fall Avenue and a part of Spruce Street have been built under the Betterment Act to the satisfaction of the residents, who are mady and willing to pay the cost of the work. This method pro-,ides a way for future guidance in the development of now property. I will also enable those who live on an un- accepted street to obtain public improvements at a reasonable cost. The Towrx is indebted to Mr. W. M. Otis, who generously gave the land which enabled us to round the corner of Marion Road near the Town Meld, when the street was being con- structed in. the suer. e also wish to thank the City of Cambridge for the handsome fence which is being built betwcen Mount: Auburn and Spring Streets. REPORT of SELECTMEN 13 Perambulation of Bounds. The boundaries of the town ha%-c been per=bulated this year, according to law, in company with officials of Cambridge, Newton, Waltham and Beknont, Every stone was found to be properly marked and in position except one on the Belmont line, which was later set in place by our Engineer. Drainage. Tlie plan cif putting in a system of drainage,Nvhmever possible, which has biccn our policy, should be strictly adhered to. As petitions for building the unaccepted parts of Hillside Load, Langdon and Winsor A-vcnues. Maplewood Street and Commonwealth Road under the provisions of the Betterment Act will be presented to the Selectmen, it will be necessary to prop-ide a. system of drainage before any work can be corunenced on the Streets mentioned. Accordingly a. study of the situation has been made and a comprehensive plan has been prepared, which will provide drainage for this section, and in addition ixill take care of the drainage from Belmont Street, which has cost us so much money n the past. The estimated cast of this work is 835,000. Treadaway Brook drain is cox-npleted a total distance of eight hundred and forty feet. In place of concrete %ve used the segment: block made by the American Sewer Fife Company, and are much pleascd with the result. In the course of con trt�ction a very heavy stone retaining wall was encountered, which was crossed and wEch followed the trench for nearly two hundred feet, after which water and quicksand were found from Church Street to the end of the drain in the rear of the. F iblic Library. It is fortunate that it was decided to use the segment block pipe in place of concrete as first planned, as it has proved to be fully as cheap as concrete under existing conditions, and while the cold weather would have compelled us to stop work with concrete, by using the blocks the work was carried to completion regardless of the w either. When the town decided to build Spruce Street under the Betterment Act it also appropriated $3,500 to provide drainage 1. 14 WATERTOWN TOWN Tt ITORT for the street for an estimated distance of twenty-care hundred and fifty feet, By careful supervision there have been built twenty-five hundred and ninety-four feet and in addition 011e hundred and ninety feet was btiilt in Cyj:)ress Street, which has enabled us to drain the pond, thereby abating a nuisance, `tivhich was fast becoming a nienac�e to health, in that locality. In accordance with agreement made between the Ei hway Commission, the Middlesex and BosLon Street Ralh-my* and the Town, an appropriation of �,S,000 was voted for drainage iii Main Street. This work was completed in Novern,ber. Branches were rLm to seventeen catchbasins at the intersecting streets on the northerly side, and eleven catchbasins �;sere built on the southerly side and connected witli the drain, the cast being borne by the State, and ten beside the tracks wore paid for by the railway. In retuni for this improvement the State assumes the care of the entire width of the highway, except the sidewalk-, thus relieving the tow ri of all liability arising from accidents 'xhich may occur in the future. The estimated cost of this Mork- -was $6,400. We are pleased to state that the work was completed within the appropriation. Ashes and Paper. The rapid gro-wth of the town, together wwrith the smaller nurnbcT of places available for dumping purposes, -will call for a larger appropriation next year. Fifteen places in, various parts of the town have been used as dumps at different periods the past year. We are constantly receiving complaints clue to this condition., and by using; the utmost efforts the number now in use has been reduced to seven. The capacity of the dump in Cooks Pond is about exhausted and by Spring all waste material on the South Side must be carried across the river. There again the residents in the vicinity of the Orchard Street dump complain bitterly of the impleasant conditions caused by smoke from the large amount of refuse -which is hurried there. On a warm night in summer not even "The perfwnes of Arabia" would sweeten the odors which arise. It is obvious that a different method REPORT OF SELECTMEN 15 of t%raste disposal must be adopted in thu near future; until that time, it must be cartcd to some outlying section. For the above reasons we recommend an appropriation of 860M. Sidewalks. For reasons which are set forth in the report of the Super- intendent of Streets, an increase in this appropriation is called for, and while the amomit may seem large it should be borna in mind that one half is returned to the Town Treasury. On the south side of '-Niain above the comer of Galen Street, the old tineven brick iv lzs lave been replaced by granolithic, and rain water conductors, -which formerly discharged on the sideNvalks, hav-c been connected with the drain by the owners of the property. New and better curbing has replaced the old, while on the north side the walk in front of the Town Hall has been relaid with granclithic, and the curbing from Church Street to Main Street Court has been replaced Avith ne"v, and relocated, so that it now rtms in a straight. line From Chiirch Street to Spring Street. By straightening the line of curbing, about t-kN,-o feet in Tvidth was added to the roaclway at the corner of Nfain Street, Cotut, The old c-Lirbing, together v6th a lot which had accumulate-d at the toAni barn, was used on Watertown Street and elsewhere aboiat town. As soon as the land in front of the now Otis building was acquired, a-granolithic walk was laid along the property and the street as a -whole presents a inuch better appeara-nee. We are strongly of the opinion that the remainder of the land belonging to the abutters on Main Street. which has been used by the town for side-%vaJk purposes, shoLtId be acquired by the town. At the corner of Main and Alount Auburn Streets the portion of the sidewalk owned by the town is but -,L foot and a half in width, uhile in the square at least four feet in width belongs to the abutter. Doorsteps, bulkheads and the uneven condition of the sidewalk may at any time cause an accident-, -which might cost the town several times the value of the land to be taken_ Add to this the fact that until this year one oTarner did not know that taxes had always been r r 1' I 16 WATLR"3O WN TOWN R-EVORT assessed and paid upon tlxis land since time immemorial; justice demands that the land should be taken now. The amount of land to be taken is eleven hundred and seventy-five feet and is assessed for t$3525. Street lights. Twenty-nine 40 C. P. and two 600 C. P. incandeseent lamps have be:cii added during the year and all the are lights have been replaced by 600 C, P, incandescent nitrogen lamps, which give practically about double the amount of light at the same cost. We regret to note in the Police report the large increase in the uuxnber of outages during the year. We believe that this condition is partly due to the failure of the Edison Company to continue the work of reneiving its wires in different: parts of the Town which was begun two years ago. This matter has been brought to the attention of the E disan Company. The unsatisfa.ctou conditions caused by electric wires overhead have constrained the Selectmen to petition the General Court for the passage of an act to compel, ultimately, the placing of all overhead wires underground. Sewers. For the year 015 the Selectmen rtcommended an ap- propriation of $5 00 for solver- construction, in Rangeley Road, Irma Avenue, Appleton Street, Crominonwealth Road, Belmont Street from School Street to Commornvealth Road, Maplelvood Street, Dartmouth Street, and $1000 for contingent. Also an appropriation of 9,4000 for a sewer in: Belmont Street from Carroll Street to Mall Avenue, and $2 00 for a sewer in Hall Avenue, a total of $12,700.. liar this work the Town meeting appropriated $10,700. Article fourteen called for an appropriation for an extension from Comnionwea tb Road to Alden Road in Belmont Street and irr Alden Road, the cost of w ich was estimated to be$2100, This article; was inderinitely postponed. The seiner for Hall Avenue, a distance of nineteen .hundred and seventy-five feet, was completed in VIay, and as the SPORT OIL SELECTMEN 17 cesspools in Alden Road were overflowing, due to the impervious character of the sail, a further extension from Maio: Avenue to the end of this street, a distance of nineteen hundred and seventy-five feet, was next built. As the appropriation was still ample, an extension of five hundred and eighty feet was Built from School Street to Commonwealth Road. Finally the bakince, 81820.61, was transferred to the regular seIN er ap- propriation in June. The total amount appropriated was for building approxi- inately about six thousand, three hundred and fly feet at an average cost of $1.68 per foot. With the arnount appropriated there have been built eleven thousand, six hundred and-five feet, or over two miles., at the remarkably low average of 8,826 per foot; also in additions a hart settling of the large sewer in North Beacon Street, causedd by quicksand, was repaired at an cxl'Jenne of $1114. To keep up with the rapid development of the Town, we reconimcrid an appropriation of $ 500. Sewer Maintenance and louse Connections. Owing to the extraordinary dema.n.d for house connections, together with an insufficient appropriations, our sewer system has not received the amount of cleaning ,,which experience demands, and a larger appropriation must be made for the coming year. In the matter of house connections the town has hitherto paid the cost front the main se,.rarer to the owner's lot line and the owner the remainder, thus gutting the greater part of the expense upon the Town. Just why all the tax payers should pay for something which benefits only one individual we are unable to figure out. This li.s been brought to our attention most forcibly the past year when building speculators have applied for tern or more house connections at a time, which coast the town. fronn ten to fifteen dollars. apiece, Thds method has undoubtcdly cost the Town many thousands of dollars in the past and it is high time that the custom be stopped. e. lmow of no city or town which does not charge the owner of the property the l 18 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT full cast Of a hawse connection, and accordingly we rccammend that a cha.ngn be made at the annual meeting. Town Labor. At the annual mectimig it was Noted, "That it was the sense of the meeting that the pay of the laborers in all Town de- partments should be increased from $2.25 to S2,511 per day." Belieering that luring conditions warranted such increase it was- given to the men under our charge k�rithout hesitation. The Town has always, been liberal in the tr€:a.tment of its laborers, and while in every large body of men some may be fowid ,ivho are uinvorthy, we believe that oii the whole our rnen appreciate such treatment and ldve us a. better return for their wages than is obtainced elsewhere, One has only to read the report of the work done by the Sewer Department to be cDnv aced of the truth of this statement. Visiting officials comment favorably on the way our men Nvork and express the wish that they might obtain. as goad a class themselves. -Undoubtedly our capable Supurintendent and his competent foremen deserve a large sb are of credit for the excellent work performed this year, but the co-operation of the working force is essential for success, and credit should be given where credit is due. Town Veterk ar an. Dr. Jesse F. Hurmphreville was appointed to this position in April, He has given the Town splendid see ice and is untiring in the performance of his dtities. The Totem is fortunate in securing the scrvices of so capable an official. The Fire Department. The work of this department has been very efficient dieing . the past year, whereas the amount of bnlldrugs to the Toy -n has greatly* increased. The monetary loss by fire has been decreased, dire we believe to increased effor-t by mcnnbers of the department and competent rnanagemernL by the chief_ A new motor truck has been added to the cquipment, which is in every way butisfactory and a great addition to its fighting force. Further motorization of this department is, being REPORT OF SRLLC'TMEN 19 considered and should be adopted as the Town can afford it. The permanent force of firemen should he increased as the To-v�,n is gro%�ri-ng very fast in population and in the ntunber of buildings erected, which naturally increase the fire n'51c. The speed of the motor apparatus, which in the early* surxarxrer bras limited to 25 smiles an hour, has not affected the efficiency of the department and has possibly saved accidents and damage to glee machine. Duilding Inspection. The amount of building in the Toi%m daring the past year has greatly increased, consequently the work of this department has also increased. To its work has been added the inspection of elevators, which was greatly needed and which has probably prevented many accidents. While l.+e the number of buildings erected has increased, the quality of the buildings has also improved, as they cost considerably more per building than they did last year. The Town is to be congratulated upon its remarkable growth and the land of people who are seeking homes among us and it should be the endeavor of every citizen to make it and keep it as clean, healthful and desirable a place as it is at the present time. It is x6th deep regret that we call the attention of the citizens to the loss which the Town has sustained in the death of our Toi-m Counsel, Mr. John E. Abbott. At the Town Meeting Held December 10, 1915, memorial resolutions were adopted to be engrossed upon the records of the Town. Mr. Wesley B. Monk, who had been acting as associate counsel during the illness of Mr. Abbott, was appointed to vacancy. WILLIAM H. LUCAS, G. FRBDBRICK ROBINSON, 'ILLIAM F.

To the Honorable Board of Overseers of the Poor. Gentle mew I herewith submit to you mar report as Town Al- moner for the year ending Decombesr 31, 1915, Outside Aid Degartm,ent. The whole n-amber of families who have been aided this year is far in excess of those aided in 1914. There are a munber o€ entire families -whom we could not help aiding to their entire support for a time. We have had a new feature this year, that of aiding women whose husbands have deserted them, f4amRies having from three to eight children. hole n=bcr of families aided in Outside Department, 69 Whole number of singles puns aided, 39 Having settlement in Waterlcvm, living in Watertown, 40 Having settlement in Watertown, living in ether towns, 25 Having settlement in other towns, living in Watertowa, 19 State: cases living in Watertown, 24 Of this number, there were seven families receiving 810 per month. There were two families receiving $15 per month. Twenty-five families received temporary aid. There were twenty-eight cases aided in hospitals. There are now eight homeless children being supported by the Town. There Nvere one hundred sixty-four claims of settlements investigated. We have had to a;id the fivc families from-which the husl3ands deserted. Mothers' Aid Department. This is aid given to mothers with dependent children under fourteen years of age (Chapter 763, Acts 1913). It seerns to us 25 26 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT that, mothers and children under tl-is act have been greativ benefited, and we hope this aid will be co tinted.

Board of Health. 01, June 1, 1915, we received a notice that we were to take case of all cases frc)m which the Board of Health had taken the bread mintier. These cases far exceed in expense per family our ordinary " Outside Aid," cases as we, have to support the entire family. There have been tumed over to i-is three families, one with six children, two with four each. Thcre bumig no provision for tl�s, it has been hard to keep within the appropniatic-n. Salary. The exacting requirements of the law, requiring visits to be made to all of the Mothers' Ai6 cases each quarter, to see that the rooms ocmtpied by them are properly ventilated and well kept, and report our findings with our recommendations to the State Board of Charities, is a, business in itself. The increase of the inwiber apply-ing for aid in tlu-, Outside Aid Department has tested the ability of your Almoner to do justice to all, as he has never before been tested. ' In addition to the two departments mentioned, the care of REPORT Or, AUNfC NER 2)7 all the ca-ses from i Fhich the Board of Health has removed the father because of all health, has beA,,n turned over to the Almoner, making three separate departments. Z recotnrrlend the salary of the Tomm Almoner remain the same, seven hundred dollars ($700), and that two hundred dol- lars be appropriated to secure a clerk to do part-time 'work, in looking after the clothing required, male special visits, and assisting in keeping the books. Respectfully subzrdtted, HIRAM McGLAUF Lf N, 'own Almoner. REPORT OF ALMSHOUSE DEPARTMENT, To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: I respectfully submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1915. Conditions at the Almshouse remain practim. Ily the same as last year with the exception of an additional number of inmates. Sanitary conditions are excellent, all inmates being required to observe sanitary rnles. It has always been our desire to make the Almshouse just as near a real homc for the inmates u: their condition, habits and disposiLion will permit. e Whil in I . all cases a full measure of success inay not havc been okaiaed, we believe that ottr Town has a home for its unfortunates that will not suffer from compari- son with others of its kind and class any-where in the State. There were eleven inmates at the beginning of the year, and eleven at the close. The whole number of i3imates, including readmissions, have been thirty--five; the largest number at one tithe„ f0tirteen; smz7fllest, nine,• average, twelve. One wornan, an inmate for about five years, died on August 30, at the a,-,,c of 8ixty-eight; nine inmates wcrc sent to the Waltham, Hospital, three to the State 13oard of Charity, three to Tewksbury State Ainishonse, one to the Psychopathic Hos- pital, one to the Watertown Relief Hospital, three in care of relatives and three w-,-nt to wark. AbcnTt two acres of the farm was planted, after the wants of the house were supplied, the balance was sold. The remainder of the farin was leased for the usual rental, A large r amount of wood was purchased than in prcvlous years, owing to the increasing demands of the Outside Aid and Mothers' Pension Departments. This wood was sawed, split and dQlivered through the abovc departments an orders from the Town Almoner. I wish to thank- the Park Conirnis5ion for a ntunber of trees donated to this dcpartinent from Whitney Hill Park, Storer and Knowles Deltas. 28 REPORT OF ALNISHOUSE 29 A number of rooms were whitewashed, repairs were made to the plumbing, and water was placed in the shed. New sky- lights vvere put on the shed and minor repairs w-cre made to the roof, A large ntu-nher of screens were made, the old ones painted, the gutters of the house were repaired, new ones added, two new closets were built, and there were other repairs amounting to $207.75. This coming year several rooms will nccd wIiiteNv,,,-vdnng -Md papering; a new floor is badly needed in the latchen; rcpa irs in the batlirooms, and the roof of the shed should be shingled. I wotdd also recommend that an automatic fire alarni box be- ph-teed in the house, that repairs be made to the fire escape, and that a suitable horse be transferred from the Fire Department or another procured, as the present home is unfit for the work unposed upon it, Financial Statement.

At the last annual Town mcuon�, the following vote was passod. Voted: That the Committee on Firc Apparatus be granted further time for making final report for the pttrpose of making a study into all matters affecting the Fire Dcpart-ment with a view of ascertaining what changes or additional fire apparatus for fire proteet ion is necessary because of the growth of the To wn and in anticipation of szild growth.

Watertown is now rated as in Class B. The insur;mcu rates in Class A are about ten per cent lower on dwellings and coatQats. The Exchange cheerfully complied with the request of the coninii-ttec, Emd assigned for the work, Mr. John S. Colwell, an engineer in the municipal protection department. His report was received in Dcccinber, too late for the Commit-tee to give it the necessary attention. We therefore submit it as a part of our report in order that the citizuns may give it the due consideration that it deserves. Soint of the recommendations contained fficrein need our immediate attention, and your vorni-nittee sincerely hopes that each citizen will familiarize himself with INIr. Colwell's report, which immediately Mows the. report of the committee. Your co=ittee at this time, however, makes the following recommendations. 34 COMMITTEE ON rIRE APPARATUS That; the: fire alarm, headquarters apparatus now located in the second story of the central Fire Station be rcloctrted in a, fire proof building to be erected in the rear of, and adjoining the Central Fire 'Station and that the fire alarm apparatus and police signal apparatus be brought up to standard, all of which is to insure absolute mfety. That an automobile he purchased for the tase of the chief of the fare department that lie may perform quickly and effi- ciently his duties as required under the State Law of 1914. That the National Electric Conde be made the standard for all electric work and that n-des and regulations for the :sam.e he adopted by the Town. It. is also a question of the inspector of boles and wires should not be placed under Civil Service. That a sum of money, not less than $15,000, should be appro- priated this year for the replacement of cerneztt lined sheet iron mains with those of cast iron. The committee feels that this part of at= Water Works System is particularly undesirable and menacing, because mast of the lame ammmt of cement listed sheet iron pipe in our streets was installed in 1 S4 or 1885, and in as much as the life of such material does not ordinarily exceed thirty years under our water prL-ssure, iG Can he readily seen that we are in a dangerous situation. All breaks in the past have been in cement. lined mains and the Town will be { fortunate if a complete change can be -made before a general breakdov,rn tapes place. The committee urges this recom- mendation very strong ly and would have the Town issue bonds if necessary to raise the money to cover the cost, so that the charge can be made within the next five years.

Box distribution in the principal mercantile district is pooh', as is also distribution in residential section. Some localities are practically dependent on teleplioncs for trmsmitting alarms. (See plan -attached.) Circuits. There are 5 all--metal enamel circuits to which are connected 54 boxes, 1 manual transmitter box, 26 tappers, 'a hell strikers, and alarin instruments in the two fire sta.ticns. The total length of circuits in single wires is about 30 miles, of Which about '12 per cent. is andergrounci. Overhead work is number 9 iron, a.botat two-thirds triple and one-third double braided; nearly all on the top arm. of pales car y ng high--tension wires of 2300 to 4000 volts. Underground construction is number 14 robber-covered copper in lead-sheathed cables run in telephone ducts. Length of the longest circuit is about IOY2 Miles, to which are connected 22 boxes, 6 tappers and 1 bv11 striker. No aperator on duty, but the fire alarm rooms are, a.d.iacent to the dormitories of the Fire Departn7ient at Headquarters. Readings of voltage and current are taken at least daily, and daily tests are made for lrrotiuded circuits. Boxes are inspected monthly, circuits inspected during box inspection and after severe storms. No diag-ram of circuits available or maps shov- ing box locations. Records of tests and troubles are, only kept in the inspector's personal. notebook. Fire Department Auxiliaries. Fire Marshal. Investigation of fires is perforined by the States Police under the supervision of the Deputy Chief with inspector regularly assigned to this district. The State law requires the Chief to file -jv tt(4n report of all fires with the State Police N%ithan one week after the fire..

The Commis- sioner is vc stcd with supervision and control of explosive and inflammable substances throttghout the Metropolitan District, comprising tiventy-six cities and towns, including the Town of Watertown. This was formerly a duty of the State Police. The Commissioner delegates control over these substances to the Chief of the; fire Department. Permits are required in order to mmufacture, sure, sell or transport explosive or inflammable s-abstances or to use them Other than for domestic parposes. Good regulations have been adopted on the location and construction of garages said the storage of gasoline, carbide and acetylene gas, storage and use of motion picture films, fires out of doors, and for signs and advertising devices on buildings, co ripulsory instaallation of automatic sprinklers in buildings of hazardous occupancy with more than four persam employed or living above second floor. The proNnsions promulgated by the State Police on fireworks, dry cleansing, celluloid -uid inflasmnable compotinds and ex- plosives are generally good and give bra-ad power to the police and officials designated d by them to safeguard conditions.

Watertown is so situated that powerful outside aid could be obtained on short notice. A mutual aid flan is in, force whereby Newton alarms are received on gong at headquarters and three boxes directly ad- jawnt to the line are answered by the engine and ladder com- pany from headquarters. Watertown alarms strike in the Chief's house; and fire station at lNonanturn Square,Newton., and three Watvrtawa boxes are covered by engine and combination on two boxes and engine, three hose companies and ladder company on one box. Arrangements are also in force whereby the Newton depart- ment comers Watertown and reverse in event of seeond alarm.

These deal practically with only buildings in which a numb r of people may be assembled. They contain some valuable features pertaining to safety and fire prevention, but are rather general, although sonic specific regulations have been published particularly for theatres and similar buildings. Tcrz,,n Laws. The presents act was adopted Aug-ast 3, 1911, and all preceding acts were repealed. Present; lava-, lack essen- tial fc±,LL-xres of fire prevention and as a. whole are inadequate. A brief divit follows: Frai-ric construction is not prohibited and xlo restriction is placed oil crnnbustiblc roof covering. No mention made of mitl or fireproof construction, Heights are restricted to three stories or 45 feet for teneinents. areas limited to 8000 square feet;, except for factories and public buildings. No mention made of protection to caniicc and roof structures. Floor open- Yzigs Ouch as elevrators, stairs, etc., are not, restricted. No inezition made, of openings in division or pasty walls„ thickness of exterior of party -%v fills not in accordance with standard re- quireiuents. Chimney and flue protection requirements good. Boiler room cut-offs rugpired for all inercanL-ilc, office and manu- facturing buildings. Dire stops for partitions and }walls in office and piiblic: buildings and dwelling hawses are; required to be of cement,, plasLe:r, mortar or Ether non-combustible material. Standpipes, auLoinatic sprinklers and other fornis of fire pro- tection are not provided fur. COMMITTEE ON FIRE APPARATUS 51 Electrical Ins ecUmi. Electrical inspections are under the direction of the Inspector of Poles and Wires, appointed annually by the Beard of Sclect- men. No rules or regulations are in farce governing qualifica- tion of inspector or standards for electrical work. No permits are required. The National Electrical Code is &-tid to be fol- 1mved, but no power is available to enforce same. The inspector is also charged with supervision of the fire alarm and police signaling systems, The Edison Electrical Illuminating Com- p.any furnish the current for commercial purposes, Primary circuits are 2300 volts; secondary, for lighting and power, are 110 and 220 volts. Transformers located either on poles or in vaults. Wires under ground from Newton lize to Watertown Square, thence west on Ma,ira Street to Cross Street, east on Main Street to junction of North Beacon and Arsenal Streets, north on Main Street about 250 feet. The Boston Elevated Railway Company and the Boston & Middlesex Street Railway Company operate street raihmay lines, using overhead trolley and feeders. Main lines of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company arc 1-mder ground in the mercantile district and for considerable distance outside of main streets. Low- tension signaling systems are maintained by the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Town. Overhead wire congestion is moderate and would offer little obstruction to fire department operation. Conflagration Hazards. Principal Meercavtile Section. This district is located in the south central part of the Town about as follows: Starting about two hundred feet northeast of the railroad on Mt. Aubum Street to Taylor to Arsenal to Watertown Square to Galen to Pleasaat to Bross to railroad to � brook to location apposite paint of beginning. This section is irregular in shape and consists of six whole and parts of one block of various shapes mid sizes. Block areas are generally small with good interior accessibility. Vahies range from low to moderate and consist mainly of ground floor mercantile with offices, lodge roo ns and tenements a.l)ot,u,. The district also includes stables, town and storabe buildings. Interspersed WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT mhlisti 1 ,vitil al)oire are numerotts frame dwellings with co be roof coverings. No private fire protection of value. The majority of the construction.is nearly all frame, with some brick intermingled. Heights rmige from one to three stories, .Nith generally small areas. Window openings unprotectcd and parapets lacking. Construction is extremely weak and corn- bustibility high, Wt the Joeation of the Fire Department and powerful outside aid mrailable partially offset the Wealciess. othor Districts. The manufactui-ing plants are generally scattered. Prac- tically all axe under good fire protection. Expostires to prin- cipal mercantile section on the south are a large dyeing and cleansing plant and box an(I paper mill, both under private protectim. Lying between Arsenal Street and the railroad, between Irving and Taylor Streets, are large, lumber yards which )resent serious exposure to the residential as well as to the mercantile district. Between the river and Water Street a largc area era barn of the Boston Elevated Railway Company witliout sprinkler protection is a severe local bazard, but probably should not iny.olve offier property in event. of fire. The residential sections of the Town are of detached, mainly shingled roof dwellings, moderately built. The wealmess of the Fire Department in apparatus and men and the poor water dis- tributicn, coupled with existence of shingled rWfs, makcs the, flyinc, brand hazard high. Cp General Summary.

In the principal inurcantile section the weak construction snakes serious group fires probable. Such fires should not in- volve more than a portion of several blocks, as buildings are lour and on account of the powerful outside aid available. In the manufacturing plants serious fires are probable, but owing to private protection should not ordinarily affect more Haan a group of buildings. The residential section of detached frame buildings, larger shingle roofed and congested in parts, pre- sents the usual flying ng brand hazard. Recommendations. Water Supply. 1.

Respectfully submitted, JOHN S. CALD ELL, E"g leer. REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF POLES AND WIRES. To Me Hviwrable Board of .selectmen. Gerzticnicn� The report of the Poles and NVires Department foT the year cilding December :31, 1915, is herewith respectfully submitted. Dulzng the past year L-wo new fire boxes were installed— one at the corner of Otis Street and Washburn Street, and one on School Street, near Belmont Street. Four new tappers were installed and two tappers transferred. Seven }poxes quid several lines of wires were transferred to new poles and a lire of pules abolished on Pleasant Street, between Bridge StreTt and the Waltham Hue. It Nva.s necessary to make many changes in bad poles and defective wires, so tliat the lines might be kept ill good running order. The follotviiig material Nvas used: Two miles of No. J covered iron wire oii Pleasant Street, one mile on Arsenal Street, one mile on IYIain Street, threes miles in North Watertown on Lexington Streets, dealt Street and Nyland A—venue, and two miles on branch lines; 154 four-pin crass-,inns carmplete, 5l3 tree insulators, 50 wire strains, 30 potinds of weather-proof tape, i ponrtnds of lead and 2%. 0 feet of No. 14 c rcular-looiu cable. I made 1501) horse inspections, cleaned and tested all alarm quid signal boxes frequently, and installed the undcr-gresu�xd work m Galen Street. I recommend that a portion of the Town 4vires lac placccl undergrotitnd each year, mitil this Nvork is Completed on all the main streets where we have reservec ducts. There are now more than a hundred electrical contracto doing }wing in Watertown, and in order to properly inspect: their -work and attend to his other duties, the Inspector should have either a motor truck or other conveyance at his disposal. In the late hours of the night and on certain days of the week, I find it difficult to secure a t.eani, with a consequent: delay to nay work. This vondition should be remedied. The elertric .l apparatus in the Police SMlion is in a very poor condition and I recommend that it be replaced by a mew desk with all equips Tents. 61 62 FX-PORT OF INSPECTOR Or, POLES AND WIRES It will be necessary the corning year to replace the old wires on Arwnal Street, between Taring and Arlington Streets, on Arlington Street, on Mt. Auburn Street between Bigcicw Avenue and Cottage Street, and on Nichols Avenue. The police, fire-alann, cable and pc)lc boxes, and the pipes leading from Lhe undergTou nd work need painting, and i L wi I I be neces- sary to make repairs and transfers on ,�rires, tappers Md boxes. I rccon-n-nQxid an appropriation of $3721.13 for underground on Mt. Auburn Street; $1900 for a new police desk, and N-�"ork- $4342 for maintcnance and new construction, Respectfully submitted, PATRICK J. VAHBY, Inspector. REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ]BUILDINGS.

Street. The lower end of penal Strec;t was in a very bad condition, • and as our appropdation did not warnuit going to the expense of putting down a granite block pavemenL, we fixed it up tem- porarily and trust that. the Town will see its way before long to lout down a perim-nent pavement.

The remainder of the st;tceL should be finished u-i the spring. Langdon Avenue. Starting at .tl o Belmont line, this street has been built for a distance of seven hundred feet. Fur ca,tclibasins were REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 95 installed and two htuidred and fifty feet of eight-inch drain laid, the same Ding connected with tli- Belmont Street drain. Heretofore the: surface drainage had not been taken care of. The street was brought to proper shape and true grade and four- inches of scone was taut can and rolled. A gallon and a half of Binder B Asphalt to the square yard was sprayed on by a pressure machine. Sinall voids were filled in with fine stone ard them the road was given a second application of asphalt, about a half a gallon to the sgware yard, and the work wm completed with it coating of sand. With the exception of the asphall. all the inaterial used in the coust.niction of Langdon Avenue came from our Plc L-4intP Street pit. Mount Auburn 'Street. Starting at the scvtion rebuilt in 1913, we rebuilt this street on the north side a.-, far as Beacom Square. Before beginning the real work- of rebuilding the street it was nee,�_C ary to take care of the drainage. This was accomplished by laying a drain..from Walnut Street to Stearn's driveway, using a twenty- four-inch pipe for a distance, of two hundred mid fifty-two font, an eighteen-inch Tripe for a distance of fire hundred. and three _ feet and a twelve-inch pipe for a distance of three hundred and fifty feet. The necessary cat.chbasins were built Land con- nections were made, in all intersectin , streets, so that when the time arrives for :suiface drainage in these streets it will not be necessary to dig rip NIount Aublum Street. The construction of the new section is practically the same �- as that which was built in 1913, with the exception, that instead of tar being used as a binder we used Bermudez Asphalt. The work on I Tount Auburn Street cast the Town ;Tout one dollar a square yard and we consider Lha,t w( have about the best construction that can he obtained at that figure. With prober maii-.chance: this street should remain in good condition for Nears. Spruce Street. When the work on Watertown Strmt Nvas finished we found treat eve still had some of our appropriation left, so we decided to use it in making, a start on Spruce Street. In the ►,arty suiniucr° the department built sip catchbasi s and laid four hinidred and thirty feet of tvulve-inch drain on this street. In the fall, after the engineer had laid out, the= street to line and grade, we sub-graded the street its entire length. At the present time there are frnu-teen houses in the course cf construction, but every tat has been coimected with the water, sewer and gas and many applications for sidewalks are now conning in. In the spring everything -"Fill be in readiness to ire ahead with the building of the street. Tlie gravel used on the work already done an Spruce Street carve from the excavation of Treadaway Brook drain. It seemed too bad to consign this excellent material to the dump, so we hauled it to Spruce Street, the charge for the same being made against the drainage appropriation. Watertown Street. Before starting the work of rebuilding Watertown Street it was necessary to pi-it in a number of ca,tchbasins to tale care of the surface water. In order to bring the street to a. proper grade, an excavation of from six to eight inches had to be made. This meant the removal of all the old surface so that in rebuild- - i g the read, instead of putting on four inches of stone, as is usually done, sax inches were required. The oonsequence was that the work tvxned out to be much more expensive than had been anticipated. We ha-%re the satisfaction, however, of know- ing that the work is first claps in every respect,, and we feel that time will but strengthen our conviction that the expendittu-e was fully justified. Two gallons of asphalt per square yard sere used on the bottom cotirse, then it was sealed with an application of Ber- inudez, averaging about a half a gallon per square yard. The whale street was then covered i6th a layer of pea, stone. fna.ssnuch as the cold weather was upon us before this work was completed, we dog not drawl: for the besL- res-ults front this road until next summer. When the reel warm days conic the heat of the sun will draw the asphalt to the tap and in this way form a perfect scaling coat. Now foundations for the old culvert were put in and on the same -v%erc built para.pot walls, which add to the appearance. I REPORT OF HIGHWAY DBPARTWNT 97 of the street. The work mentioned hi,-, clone away with the decidedly dangerous condition which exi.,ted and which might have been the carise of many dangerous accidents for which the Town would b.- liable. Waverley Avenue. Waverley Avenue was resurfaced from Hamden Avenue to Main Street -with gravel and oil constmeLion. Six iDCh01S Of gravel was spread over the entire surfacc, then it was watered and roll,?d until it became hard and smootti. A coat of light oil ,Nas sprayed on acid later in the season a coat of heavy, sixty-five P^r cent, asphalt oil was applied. The last applica- tion was covered with sand, which, as well as the gravel used on the street, came from our Pleasant Street pit. The work was accomplished at a small cost, while the improvernenL made in the road cannot fL11 to lac appreciated by those who have Occasion to use it. lVaverley Avurnie is the direct road to Waverley and Belmont aad as such demands altention. It is now in good condition and with care will stand up for years. V'hitney Street. The condition of Whitney Street, for soiree time past, has been such that, especially when the frost Nvas coming out of the ground in the spring, traffic over it was dangerous. Six inches of gravel was used on this street and a heavy cc)aL- ingofailappliod. The drainage arils also cared for by installing a catchbasin at the corner of 'Whitney and Belmont Streets, connecting the same with the Orchard Street drain. Whitney Street is now in good condition. Recommendations. This year the recommend that our main thoroughfares be given first consideration. MoutA Auburn Struet was started in 1912, one section being built that year, another section was built in 1913, and no appropriation was made in 1914. Last year the north side of that section laying between Stearn's driveway and the Square was built, and there yet remalns to be done that portion from Lincoln Street to Beacon Square. WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT The work can 2XIQuilt Auburn Street should be completed the coming year. Last year's Board of Selectmen reconmiended the rebuilding of Main Street and it will have to be done in 1916. Galen Street still remains un1jullt owln,', Lio the failti-re of the Boston Elevated Railway Company to comply with thu request of the SvIectmen to put down a permailent roadlxd for their tracks. The board went so far as to talce the matter bcfore the Public Ser%'ice Commission, but Without success. T lie E levated is ilow srQhiii gr a pen-nit to lay a cond t lit in the stmet, but our Board of Selectnieu can be dcpcnded upon not to grant any mare favors to that company until they first concede what the Town is asking for in the way of a perinarientroadbod. Thu Telephone and Edison Light Companies have both Laid their wires underground, and the 'Arater Department; Ila.-, replaccd the, old cement pipe Nvith modem iron pipe. The only thing that hinders our going ahead with the Nvork of rebuilding phis street is the refusal of the: Elevated Compm-ty to r0mild their tracks We feel that there should be somothing done to Howard Street this year. Green Street too claims our attcntion as there is a dangerous condition wherc this strcet meets 1\1ain. The paved gutter at thw jimetion of thesis streets should be done away with altogether, constituting as it: does a source of peril to tams and automobiles. Nothing Ila-, been done on Green Street as Far back as our records show. Screening Plant At the beginning of tliv gear we were allowed an a I-i I 7 ropriation for building a screening plant at the Pleasant Sii-,_�� gravel bank We have now an up-to-date equipment, which we are proud to shoes,to the, officials of other towns and cities. The installing of tl-ds plant has certainly been a move in the right direction, since during the swiliner we have been able, not only to haul, but to spread and roll the stone for th-, side streets for sev,,,nty cents a ton, when: formerly it cost the Town three times that amount, Our now pig, also suppllos sand for spreading on the streets REPORT OF NIGHW&Y DEPARTMENT 99 as they are oiled.

Every lot on the street, whether hltilt upon or not, was connected with the; sewer, water Euxd gas before the work of building the street was begun. This will mean a great saving to the Town, because under this system the street will not have to be disturbed every time a new house is erected. "We are convinced that it is for the best interest of the Town and also for the abutters to insist that all private ways shall he built tinder the " Bettemic:at, Act e" To secure a goad garde an Hall Avenue it was racecssary to e%cap°ate about a thousand yards of dirt,a five-foot cut being requircd in sonic places.

This street was built mi the early spring, the stone used in its construction costing from our new pit on Pleasant Street. In the early stages of the work, iU looked as if we were going to have troublo with the rolling, because the stones wero so round. As a matter of fact, under the old system of water- bound i ii acadam construct ion, it would be absolutely im pa ssibl a to bind these stones together. We found that by using a binder of tar or asphalt good renilts could be obLaincd, aid conscqitently we consider the work accomplished on Lexington Street a proof positive that Lhc stonc from our pit is available for our purpose. L-� the past, taking Into consideration freight, spreading, rolling, etc., Waltham stone has cost us from one dollar and eighty cents to two dollars a ton, while the stone fram our own pit used on Lexington Strae t stood.us only seventy ecut's a ton.

The use of oil for the laying of dust on the streets has been so successful that watering carts are no longer to be see in progressive towns and cities. During the past year many different kinds of rail bave been tried and in most cases good results were obtained. Ire the �guar,e we experimented with a light coil, known as Dustoline, and found that by being careful not to apply too much at a time, nothing could be better saited for the purpose. An application every two months is sufficient to lay the dust and beep the strecti in goad condition. After considerable leaking around, Pleasant: Street near Waltham Street was selected as the most available site for our oil storage tank, which has a capacity of ten thousand gallons and which is fitted with coils so that the ail can be heated at any time. For steam, we have been forttmate in maldng arrangements with Mr. Fowler, who has a factory just across the way. Ashes and Paper Department Receipts. Appropriation, $4, 00 00 Expenditures.

Report on Widening of Arsenal Street The Planning Board and the Board of SelectMe3l, tO Whom was mferred the widening of Arsenal Street east of Arlhigton Street by the Town, herewith respectfully submit the following report. Report The portion of Arsenal Street referred to for widening is 1300 feet in length, extending from near Arlington Street to the drawbridge. The cstablish.ed width of this street is 66 feet and the hart now being considered is only 34.5 in width, leaving :31.5 feet in width covered by a marsh. Deducting the width of Glie walk, and the width of railway tracks, we have a roadTvay only 16 feet in width for the hea-best traffic which keeps the roadway i-ri a condition canstantly out of repair, It �N- 11 require nearly 9000 cubic yards of filling and about 2500 square yards of finished roadw ay to widen the street. The estimated cast, of this iNidening is about $10,000. It has been s zggested by the committee in view of the great: expense involved by t,1iis improvement that the Town use the uncompleted street area for purposes of a waste dtunp, thereby 12 1i ATERT{)WN TOWN RETORT accomplishing the filling at a 1101"i 7 11 QXpense; and this method of Proceeding Nvith the constrLict,ion for widening, we.recorn- niePrcl.

These conditions, public use of railroad land, difficult team- ing, and possible dzimcr to traffie, are sufficient arguinents to €'awse the widening of Nichols Avenue.

Lucas, Chairman of Board of Selectmen on Accounts of Tax Collector, I regret exceedingly the circumstances wlich snake it nece - slrry for nic to-swike a statement tonight regarding the shartage in the accounts of our ex-Collector. Before going further let me say the Selectmen appreciate the: confidence which the citizens have slimvn by waiting so patiently for a statement in connection with this most Un- fortunate affair. Jhis attitude of the public ha,s made it aisier for us to mnluct the examination of the Collector's accounts in a way to insure fair treatment to all pasties concemed. Such would not havo been the case had Nve beeii called upon to grivel out statements of what we thought or sttgpccted. W c have given out only facts which dill be proven.. The PlIblic is en- titled to know the facts and after the audit has been com- pleted a full report kvill be made. The evening of I+'abruary l the ex--Collector called upon the Chairman of ti6 Board of Selectmen and state?d that he was shoat iii his accounts and left with him his resignation. '.she foUowing morn`ng, February 2, the Board met and accepted the Collector's resignation and appointed the Tovm Treas-are=r, Marry W. Brigham, temporary Collector. At that time the Selectmen did not think that the Collector knew how much the shortage. was. Later developments confirmed our judg- ment. The folluN%ing dad{ the Selectmen dmided that it would be: advisable to employ the services of a public accountant to make an audit of the: bowl s. This we did after obtaining the sanction of the Finance ConunitlA,_e to our plan. Monday, February 8, Mr. George Lyall, public Accol-Infant, commenced the exmniiiation of the CoRector's brooks and the verification of the unpaid tax bills. To verify these accounts it was necessary to column cate with Lll persons whose taxes zippear unpaid an the Collector's backs, Where the striLement is madc that they do not owe the Town the Auditor lids to obtain proof that their statement is correest. This vcriflcation is still in progress and it %vill lie RjRCORD 4F TOWN MEETINGS 137 soine time before a full report can be made. The audit has progressed far enough, however, to enable us to say that the shortage will be only a small part of tho amotult of the C,01- lector's bond. By this I inean the Town is fully protected, and will not lose anything. Right here let me say that the Auditor found that all moneys which had been received and entered on the uash book tip to January 1, 1915, had been accuuntcd for. The Collector, on the moriiiii that we accepted his resignation, made several entries of ainoturts which he had received some time before. This ruade a coirsiderable cash shortage when the books were turned over to the auditor. 'I'lte balance of the shortage is made up of accounts which he collected and of which he made no record on the casli book. INThen the audit is completed and the report and recom- mendations of the Auditor are -received the question of im- proving the system of accounting be taken up by this Board. There is no question but that there are matters of detail which must be changed.. The periodical examination of the books has been confined largely to the cash transactions and should be more complete in connection with the outstanding accounts. ANTe may find it advisable and necessary to recommend some additions to the Regulations at a future To-v%rn-Meeting. ILLIAM H. LUCAS, Chas anon Board of Selechnen. Jarnes H. L.

Report of East End Schoolhouse Committee. t the Ta n Meeting on Dec+einber 7, 1914, 8,2500 was appropriated for plans for a 'school building to be erected on land located on Arlington Street;. In the report of yaar comritt:e:e made at that, time, it was stated that it was the intention to provide for a. ton-room build- ing, each roam seating forty-four pupils, and a hall seating at least four hundred, to cost approximately 96 ,000, all trades RECORD OF TOWN MEETINGS 139 included, but not including architects' fees, furnishing or grading. This estimate was lased on a corresponding cost of the recently completed South Side. School, it being under- stood that the new rules of the State Police would require a larger area of class rooms. Selection of Axchitects. After advertising in the local, papers that Watertown archi- tects were invited to appear before the committee, a.ndi after receiving applications from seven out-of-town architects ex- perienced in schoolhouse designing, as well as five local men, your committee gave a hearilig to each applicant. At these hearings, each architect presented glans of work previously accomplished by him, together with costs, and his qualifications and facilities for carrying out the program. By process of elimination tree of the list were selected for further investigation. Your committee visited the offices of these three, and also a completed building of tvo of them. Your committee then voted to engage the services of Messrs. Hoyt and Bixby, a very happy cambRiation of Clarence P. Hoyt, designer of some twenty schools in New Lngland, and Curtis W. 13i-xby, well known as guardian of tho ToRn's finances and a compotent architect. Your committee fturther directed and approved the employ- ment by the architects of Alfred S. KcLogg as hunting and ventilating engineer, TkIr. Ke'logg having acted in si�tlar - pacity with the South `?id.e. School. The program Nvas then laid down of aschool fallowing in general the specif ultions of the Boston School House Carn- mission, to have the same number of rooms as the South Side but some 14 per cent larger floor area and hall of 20 per cent larger seating capacity, and. arrxi,ged for a future addition of ten rooms and correspondingly larger hall, to have the assembly hall floor, all corridor floors and walls and all staircases fire- proof, and a heating plant to sen-c as the larger part of the plant inffer� the final twenty-room btxildil1g, at a cost not to exceed $v 0,000. upon cc)mpletion of the plans, bids were received from the fotloiNing on the general contract xx*hich included the plumbing 140 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT wid electric uriiing: AlVilliam Crane, C, A, Batson, IVilliam H.

By reason of both buildings having ton rooms and a hallo compansons are ineVitable. BuL by this, your committee offers no tu-ifavorable criticism of the South Side School. For what we have accomplished we have to thank the iligenuity of our architects, the low cost of materials, the extremely low bid of Williain Crane, the general contractor, the presuncc on the committee of three 11jen%ers of the School Committee, mid of four other -murnbers mit-11 qua'ified to speak atitho6tatively oii different phases of the problem, and last, but not least, the record of the-, ,South Side-, to stimulate a healthy and good-natured determination to excel that record.

Meeting called to order at 7.30 pa.m. Warrant for meeting and officer's rettu-n of s<asne read by Moderator, Joseph P. I'cefe. Article 1. To hear the report of any committee heretofore appointed, and act thereon. Report of Finance Committee to Town Meeting under Article 3 ofarrant for beefing, April 14, 1915. The condition of the Torn dumps and thy; advisability of purchasisig a motor track for the: use of the Highway Depart- ment and for the collection of ashes and paper wereconsidered at Annual Meetingr held on Nfarch 24, last, and the sentiment of that large meeting was 17kthily expressed in the vote which referred the whole matter 0 the Selectmen for farther study and consideration. It ivas thought that this action definitely disposed of the purchase of the motor vchicle for this year, while it was hoped that before tho next annual meeting some sa.tisl'a.ctory solution of the dia p problem might be arrived at and saifficient data g_ithered in regard to the first cast, mainte- nance and operation of motor equipment for highway purposes, and ashes and paper collection to permit the flown Meeting to consider the matter dispassionately and intelligently. To come right back in less tliap three weeks to a.much smaller and less representative mecting and urge precisely t1le same project seers to your cornmittee both unwise and unfair. The sweeping characterization of all Town dumps as nuisances made by the newly organized Board of Health in the first few minutes of its tentue of office does not inake imperative the imnhediate purcEase of a motor truck, but it does call attention to the fact, ecneeded by nearly everybody, that eery little care has been bcst'owed upon these dtniips. Tliee unsightly and disagreeable fel'itt'res of most of them can be cured, in part at Least, by a little judicious attention., and police vigilance ezin pact a Stop to many of the evils and almses which are now permitted to exist ill Connection With t11c127. Undoubtedly this is not a pormanent solution of the pro-bletn, but it Will serge until one mare comprehensive and satisfactory can be worked out. R-ECOrW OF TOW,,%' MEETINGS 159 By far the most dangcroas feature of the proi)O'Sitioli, h1DW- ever, is the re-opening, so soon after the Annual Mcctiilg, of the questic 'clered and deterinine(i by the Town at that _ni consl - time. Since the Town's financial troubles of seven or eight yo,ars ago, which resulted in the creation of tlac Finance COM- mittee, this body,through t1w successive changes in its i-nernber- si-lip, 11as stezt(lfastly maintained that the Town, for its own protection, should co=iit itself to and follow certain weli- defmcd, hard-and-fast rules of pi-oceflure to prevent the rccldess extravagance ancl fnU111ci-R1 folly which ,mall incetings in off season might pl-ange t1i c! Town into. One of the most in-11)01-tant of the is to make our appropriations and to settle our poEcies, so far as that may be possible, at the Annual Mooting, and to discourage additions thereto and transfers therefrom iniless in extraordinary rnattCTS arising after the annual meeting or which could not have been provided for at the time-, or filially, just before the close of the year, for the purpose of cleallilig up sinall balances. TI-iis policy ought to co-nu-nend itself to every think- ing citizen. -Every ti-Ti-le a depart-Li-re is imado from it one, of its props, is loosened and the whole financial edifice made insecure. To,p,,n boards and committees are jealous of their powers and pri%�legcs, as has been repeatedly emphasized in Town Meet- ings, wid every concess'on granted to one is eagerly scized,� I upon by others as a precedent rind-L pretext for further encroach- rnents, so that once the bars are let down for one,, devartment, it is going to be the most difficult task imaginable to get them in place again. It is a fair argument that if miles and Polic',eL;7-nay be arbitrarily %-wept a-4cle in one instance the occa,ions for it will multiply and thc,n it is a Nn- sc man who uin fore-cc t1le elld- Not a,.;self-core-tituLLA direcLon;of the Tawn's-fin-incial 110ficY, but a, the legally con tititted adiriz_ors to the To-vn Alut-ting in -,u,,,h niatters %ve cannot culidunin Loo stron,"'ly Such practices wlieflier tboy be iii the form of additional appropriations or transfers from others, inade t1irc-c weeks- a,,o and urgently advo- cated as absolutely neccs,.Lary at that timC, The dump question is adillittedly a scrioug One, but not -go compelling as to risk undermining our financial structum for a solutioii of it that at present is only, problcinaticaL 160 WATE RTOWN Towx RE,PORT 'c f0el it OUr deity, flic-Mfore, to warn of the danger and to recommend that action upan this articlo I)c illdeflijitc!ly post_ poned.

To the Citizens of Waterkwv The Finance Conu-nittee, having given diligent and pains- taking consideration to the estimates submitted by the various ToN�m Departments for the expenses of tile current year and to the requests for special apj)Mpriations as callcd for in the warrant for the annual Town Meeting, lierc�ith submits its report. The amount called for by the department heads and special articles in the warrant for this meeting totalled 8767,249.50. The entire arnomit appropriated during all of last year was, 85717,727.78, The necessity for carcfid priming, therefore, was apparent. Many requests which the Committee considered most 'favorably at the outset had to be denied in the final suniuling up. We concur with last year's Board of Selectmea in the opinion that many desirable pablie irnproveinentg asked for this year should 9LVe way to pressing nee mitiesand await more prosperous times. Only three tirnes in ten years has our tax rate climbedbey-o-nd $20. In 1907 it reached 520.80 and tho protest from all sides was responsible for the suntiment which resulted in the forma- tion of the Ffiiance Committee to supervise appropriations and act as a check on lavish expenditures. In 1009 the rate was S21.70 but that was caused by the Tmvn's decision to Pay off in one near the deficit which loose financly1cr had allowed to ar-curni-late. Last year the Tovni's generosity in its appropriations and the increasnilg burdens of State and county taxes sent the rate tip to S21.20, although our valua- tion had increased nearly S'800,000 in 1914, and had advanced ah-nost six Million dollars since 1907. The valuation January 1, 1915, was $18,411,400. Un- doubtedly the real property valuation will be increased this year, but it is quite likely that the personal estate -will show a heavy shrinkage. In making up our budget, then, we were obliged to have all 231 232 WATLRTOWN TONVIN PORT these things in mind and to tale into account business con- ditions in general. It seemed to us that this year a tax rate of S21.20 -% as more than the great rnajority of our taxpayers, whether they be property owners or rent payers (for it concerns the latter frilly as much as the forme-f) would care to encounter. Our aim has been to keep it in the neighborhood of$20 and lower than, that, if possible. The appropriations which we recommend for the year 1015 for all purposes, including the now east End School and the State, County and Metropolitan `faxes, total S644,23 .3h. Of this amount we recommend that $73,000, the amount asked for the construction of the new East End 'School, he borrowed outside the debt liudt of the Town and that the, Selectmen be authorized to petition the Legislature for the rcgttisite authority. In determining the amount to be assessed on the polls and estates, we estimate the receipts for 1915 to he as follows: Water income, $65,000 00 Batik and corporaticn tag, 53,000 Olt Street railway tax, 12,000 00 Estimated palls, 9,000 00 Miscellaneous receipts, 22,000 00 1fi1,00D 00 To these may be added.

Debt and Borrowing Capacity. The Town Debt January 1st, 1915, was S767,52;5. Of this amount $203,000 ,vkra,s barrowed outside the debt. limit. This iileludes Water Debt $229,000; Marsha11 Spruig Sclicol $33,000; Galen Street $36,000. FINAINCE COMMITTEE REPORT 233 Our debt inside the IiTnit provided by statute-—3 per cent of the average valuation of the past three years, Im abaterneii-ts—is V- 09,525. The debt limit figured an that basis is $515,300. Our borroi6iig capacity, inside that limit, is at this moment S,15,775. On April I it NAE be increased $9000; !\.-Iav 1 $37,000 more; June 1, MOO; JuIv 1, $26,500, and on January 1, 1916, if nothing, is taken from it in the Mean- time, it will total $87,800. Our total debt, both inside and outside the debt Iiii-ft, is made up as folio-ws: Water plant, P12129,000 00 Schc)ols, 239,000 00 streets, 111,000 00 Sewers and drains, 113,800 00 Fire Stations, 17,500 00 Debt mfunded, 48,000 00 'Municipal loan, 9,225 00 $767,525 00 New Schoolhouse. A are asked this year to build a new schoolhouse in the East I'Znd at a cost of .573,000. We have already borrowed for hand and plans for this building $14,500. Last Year Nve ap-propriate.d for land and buildings on the South Side $85,000. This yeas we are approving a reqticst for $3,900 additional to be expended for Nvalk-s and grading. Tlicre will still be needed ,91800 then for completion of the cook'ng and i-nan=l training roon-is. We also -paid S,5000 for additional land adjoining the Hosmer School. The year before the new High School was completed at a cost to the Tovm cf $151,000, AR of these improvements have been or Y�ill be paid for either by direct assessment on the tax levy or with money, borrowed inside the debt limit. Looming up in the inunediate future seems to be the necessity for doubling the accomiro(lations at the Ho=cr and the possible need of additional laiid in front of the High Schot-.4. There are still sewer and drainage needs of large dimensions that cannot be much longer postponed. We believe, too, that it is not good business policy to exhaust 234 WATERT{lWIN TOWN Rl,:r"O T each year our borravting cap-achy-, leaving DO Margin at all for a-n emergency such as the less of one or more of our public buildings by fire or any other greet public calarnItY with which e might be suddenly confronted. Frequent borro,,�,ings out- sidc the debt limit would be very poor business and new school buildings are among the very few* things for which such bor- rowing should be made at any time. Tho Tovm has been very generous to-wards its schools at all times, properly so, and particularly during the last few years has it taxed itself heavily for them. 1t seerns but proper that the payment for this near structure should be spread over at least one of the future genet-adores which it will house and care for, and these payments should bu so proNidod for as not to preclude the Tovm from doing other things within that time that might also make it a better place in which to ave. We believe, therefore, it would be the hart of financial Nvisdoin to authorize this indebtedness outside the cleft limit. lrttc!c 1.

We concur iNzth the recornmendation contained in the report of the Board of Health that the department be reorganized. Our investigation of its affairs convinces us that reorganization is sadly needed and has been too long delayed. It is a most important department, so regarded by the whole community; entrusted Mth a great responsibility and vested mith large powers. Orderliness and system, cleanliness and care, in- telligence and skill should enter into every part of its adminis- trative work. Thorougluicss in its outside work, acmracyT and 240 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT accessibility of its office records are featuros which -need at- tention if the results are tonleasurc up to the standard which a town of otir size has a right to and does deniand. The Finance Cumn-dttee and the Town will co-operate in any rational and reasonable effort to bring about improved conditions in this department, but assurance must be had that the Board and its agents shall be amenable to the Town and that the express directions of the Town Meeting, unless; they be in flagrant violation of law, shall be oboyed NIV-1thout evasion or subterfuge of any Idnd. The Board has not scorned to appreciate this fact always in the past, or clso appreciating it, has deliberately chosen to disregard it. Undoubtedly the agent of the Board has undertaken or had thrust upon him dming the past year many responsibilities. A strict Com- pliance with the very definite instructions of the Town Nfecting would ha�,c relieved him of some, at It-ast, of those responsibilities and would have aflorded more time for the fulfilment of his Proper duties. The plan of reorganization suggested in the foot-note to the approl3iiation is the result of careful study of the local situation and ivoidd, we behove, add tremei-idonsly to the efficiency of the whole department nithout increasing the expense. Conclusion. In candusion we i4ish to advise a oonservative policy in the matter of providing improven-ients whose upkeep and maintenance NNilt greatly ircrease our ann-a-at expenditures. PIaygrotuids, athletic fields, convenienca stations, motor equi'p- ment, as vvell as additional pDlicemon and firemen, new school- houses, etc., all mean, besides the first cost, definite annual increases from which there -%ill be no escape but which mill mount higher catch year. Some of these things -vve must have. Let us hope that we may havc them all in their proper time — which will be when we can afford them. TV'e extend our thanks to all the Town departments for hell) rccelved in supplying us Mth the information upon which our conclusions are based.

This statement varies but Eft1c from year to year and to omit it will, mean a saving of approximately S1000 each year. Many municipalities do not publish such a list at any time and eery; few issue it cvory year. B — Of this amount W5 was transferred from the Resen-e Fund to Contiligencles, upon the request of the Selectmen, for the purpose of paying claims against the Town. C — The Assessors recommend that no appropriation be made for abatements for 1915 taxes as, in their Dpfiiion, the overlay Neill take care of the same. D —The Committee recon=crids that new trees be qct out only at the request of abutters and upon, tll= agroornent to pay one-h,,df the cost of the trees Und of their setting out. E —This appropriation to include all work done on private property. The Committee recormnends that the Tree II- rarden be instructed not to finance penonally or otherwise any Work- done on private property. It is our opinion that all work clone by this department shatdd be financed by the Town directly so that the amount spent may be a matter of Depart- ment record. The practice of loaning the Tovm's apparatus or eqLdpment to individuals or others for the purpose of doing private work is strongly disapprovecl. F —The Comm-3ittce recol-m-nends that the offices of Agent of the Board of Health and Inspector of Plumbing beseparatcd; that the A- gent of the Board be, designated as Inspector of Provisions withot t additional salary. It is further recom- mended that the duties of the Inspector of Pliunbing be trans- ferred to the Chief of the Fire Department and that for that work- he receive additional conipcnsation at a rate not to exceed. .9,200 per year.

I recovainend that the three shift basis which is in cperation in Newton, ainbridge, Brookline w d Boston be adopted. In these places the cLay nien work fro in 8 a.m. to 6 pan.; the first night shift front 6 pxn. to 1 a.m., and the second night shift from 1 a.m. to S a.m. As it is now, our day men work ten hours and the night inen nine: hours. The adoption of the three-shift systcm wotdd necessitate three more officers, now desk for the signal system sLotild be installed, for the one now in use is about; worm. out. It would cost about 1900 for a new one. Conclusion. To they Honorable Board of Selectmen, to the other officials of the 'Town, and to 3udl e Enos T. Duce of the Second Eastern Middlesex Court, I wish to convey any thanks for kind assistance and hearty co-operation.

The total increase in valuation for the year 1915 was 61,4294,- 300 of which 81,0.'313,450 was on the real estate, an-d 840,850 on personal estate. The cornniittee appointed by the Leg,islature of 1915 held hcarin,gs relative to changing Section 55j, Part 1, Acts of 1909 (personal estato), which hearings your board attended, and Nve trust the proposed change will make the work of assessing personal estate more agreeable to the citizens, mid to the assessing department. The increase in valuation in four years has been about four and one-half million dollars, and another large increase in real estate is anticipated the coming year. This large increase has entailed a great a-inoant of work which cannot be properly accomplished on an appropriation which retnams practically the same as that granted the department several years ago. In order to meet this rapid increase, many ch-ang-cs are necessary to conduct this department in an efficient and up-to-date businc�,s mam-ier. `I'lle following is a comparison of 1914 and 1915 of the State and County tcLxes and Town graiAs. 1914 191 hi State tax, $35,875 00 $39,075 00 County tax, 113'673 so 20,75.3 93 'Iotropofitan SC'%VCr ta..,:' 14,490 71 15,061 15 Metropolitan Water tax. 19,68S 17 19,942 86 Mutrapolitan Park tax, 7,33E 93 7,992 14 Highway tax, 15480 321 71 Charles River Basin, 1,569 95 1,470 33 Math Department, 1,455 SS 1,351 80 Polls, 9,572 00 9,172 00 Resident b,-ml,-- tax, 1,804 12 1,719 02 Non-Resident Bank tax, IN 88 149 48 Overlay, 4,054 2S 3,461 76 Town grants, 277,210 23 282,132 94 Fire Prevention, 117 W 1,392,545 20 8403ffl2 16 379 380 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Taxes Levied.

To the Hmwrable Board of Selec not of the Town of WaMrtozun The amival appropriation which was voted for the use of this department was on the recorr nendation of the finance com- mittee, and has only taken care of rttmiing expenses. The only new work which we have been able to perfonn has been to construct a small delta at the junction of Watertown Street and Fifth Avenue, which was on petition of prominent citizens izi that locality. All arecotr mmidaiions of every na.tvxe, even those of necessity and coTiunon decency, were ignored, and matters wl-ich should have received our attention wo ivezre unable to accomplish, for the want of the necessary appropriation, As stated in previous reports, the fence at Howe Park is in a dilaT)idated condition and has been at constant expense and w-ill continue to be. It was found necessary to have a part of the fence at Saltonstall Park repaired the past year on. account of public use. New trees were planted i� several deltas through the ']'c�wn and shrubbery was replaced in tlac Town altutre. The Town Meld has been in constant, use through the season from early spring to December, and is in fair condition. A comfort station is an actual necessity in this locality, and ao fault can be attributed to your commission for the abselice of such, as forceful representation was disregarded and no appro- priatioii ruccxminended by the finance committee. It: is recanunclided that an appropriation bo made beyond actual expenses, for a n,w fence on Pleasant Street, at Howe Park; also, for a comfort station at 'down Field, and for grading and seeding delta at corner of School and. Belmont Strects, and for placing steps from 11-1ites Avenue into Saltonstall Park, and $1600 for gxading and laying out one-lmlf ToiNm Field as per plans of Town ET3ginecr. It seems advisable to the Park Commissioners to recommend that A be consolidated wrath the Playgrotwd Coaurtission, as the work of each is relative to the other. We would recommend an appropriation for this department of 000 for tho coming yrear. Yours respectfully, E. C. RICH ' DSON, D. F. DRISCOLL, U. M. CARLTON. 394 P,EPORT OF TREE WARDEN. To the Howrable Board of Seleclnw-n. Genllenwn.- The annual report of the Tree Warden is herewith submitted. The most common needs for the care of trees are in matters of pruning and triini-ning, protection fro damage by o-verlicad wires, the repairing of damage, spraying and controlling pests and diseases and replanting where old trees have. died., or -where trees have failed to make a satisfactory growth. During the past year the trees have beerl carefully inspected rc4ativc to these needs and the nl-cessary work attended to, The elm trees were sprayed 'M the early summer and the ravages of the elm-leaf beetle kept under control The good effect of this treatment is shown by the excellent condition of our chns. The most vital task- in the care of trees is the extermination of the insects that threaten to injure or destroy them. The great damage caused by these insects is generally under-estimated. The hardest pent to fight is the borer, and the most destructive of this species is the leopard moth. All kinds of trees are at- tacked by the larva. The moths do not feed, but the cater- pill= bore into the trees and feed on the wood tissue. The injury to trees from overhead wires is frequently serious and requires cos-istant watchfulacss. Another cause of infury to trees is the mutilation done by horses, and whenever a horse is seen injuring a tree it should be reported to the Tree Warden v%ithout delay, so that the injury may be properly treated. Few things contribute more to local pride than beautiftd trees, but owing to our limited appropriation the department was unable to set out very many new trees this past year. Shade trees add to the value of real estate, and the first cost of planting them is .,cry sinall when compared with their increased value a n=ber of years after planting. I have receivcd a number of requests for new trees, and in order that they may be set out and the other work of the de- partmeat efficiently carried on, I would recommend an appro- priation of $1500 for the ensuing year. .Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. FORD, Tree Warden. 395 REPORT OF THE MOTH DEPARTMENT. To the Honorablc Board of Sclectmen. Gvpzdewens The annual report of the Moth Department is herewith submitted. It is gratifying, to report that, so far as the gypsy and brown- tail moths are concerned, the trees of Watertown have never been in bUter condition sinue first infested by these moths, than they are now. During the past ya-ar the trees have been care- Uly inspected and where the gypsy moth egg clusters have been found they ha ire been thorong-lily creosoted, and the brown- tail nests have been cut off the trees and bunied. Spray1rig was clone in June and July xvith excellent results. Ta the de- stnictiou of these pests no aid is romived from the birds, as the insects they scein to care least about are the gypsy and brow-u- tail moths. The infestation from these maths has decreased materially, but their CXtCr1nin,-6ti01-L is difficult and it is impossible. to state definitely what the condition will bc another year. Doubtless there will be seasons whcn an unexpected increase of these moths will take place, and so it is nceessary to keep the work of extermination well under cantrol. A great dent of damage is done to our trees by the tent caterpillar and of should also be made to uffi-ainate this pest. To carry on the work of the department for the ensuing- year I would respectfully recommend that the stun of 8.3500 be ap- propriated: $2000 for worh: an private property, and $15)00 to be expended on town trees. Respectfully subinitted, JOHIN C. FORD, 396 The Nineteenth Annual Report OF 'Ierr WATER DEPARTMENT h+" OF WATERTOWN, MASS. 1913 REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT.

If the citizens read our reports they are aware, of tl-1,(-- facts— the life of those pipes that remain has already reached its normal limit and we moist protest against any further ignoring of our recornmenciation or triffilig, with the possibilities of danger. For two y&ars we have submitted against our better judgmenL to a reduction of the unount whieb we had declared to be Necessary in common prodence for this special purpose and we would not be your faithful sorvants if we cotitinued a momnnt longer to acquic7sce iii rich policy. We stated in 1911, and repeatedly since; then, that in our judgment (which opinion is not simply otir own but that of all competent engineers) all these pipes ought to be replaced -within ten years and to accomplish that end not less than $10,000 'would need to be ex-pendcd each yestr. For the last two years we have been granted 85000 only per ani-aun, This penny-wisc policy must not be T)ermitted to coiatiuue, and the deficiency should bo jaiade up at once, and therefore we shall as hereinafter shown ask for an increased appropriation. Our method of replacement uffil probably and naturally lac first to make the substitution in such streets as may be rebuilt by the Highxvay Department during the year. This is always an -uncertan"I factor, one that iv cannot foresee and estimate upon, as of course we cannot kuuiv in advance -wbat construc- tion of streets the Town may authorize at the March meeting. Of the $3000 transferred in Town Meeting of December 10, REPORT OF WATER DEPARTMENT 191-5, 8850.41 has been expended for the purchase of pipe and $1,82517 for new constnictioll. It has beea of usual custom to arrange so to have ready for use at the beginning of the year a considerable aniount of pipe, but lack of funds and the high cost of materials have reduced somewhat the ustial stock on hand. Again wo ask the citizens to refer to our repeated statements in farmer reports as to the practical impossibility of our know- ing at this time of the year just what inay be wanted or what expense may be nccessary in ffie construction department. We will not rcpc.-:tt them here, but one thing is certain, the re- markable increase of population Nvill lead to largely increased demands both for construction and maintenance, and for this reason if for no other we ask for an increase of appropriation in these departments. In this connection, and as bearing upon the whole question of the financial conduct of this branch of the Toi%--n government, it may be well to call attention to the fact that the receipts of this department have compIctely covered, not only its Cxvenses of all kinds—refit-dar -,md special — the payment for redemp- ti on tion of bonds, the interest account and the Metropolitan assess- ment, bait also the entire appropriations by the Town for this department and a very deceit balance, 1.e,, $4,528.66 have been returned into the Treasury for the benefit of other departments. In view of these conditions we bed to ask for the following appropriations: r,or construction and maintenance $23,000 and for special work $15,000.

To the Citizens of 11 aterla t: Your Board of Health herewith submits its annual report for the twelve months ending December 31, 1915. In March two members of the Board, Arthur L. Stevenson and Alfred Littlefield, resigned. Their places were filled through appointment by the SelccUtien of Warr= iNl. Wright and George G. Bass, The Board organized April 12, 1915, with Dr. Joseph L. Dru nnicy as chairman anti 'V-�Trtrren M. Wright as clerk, Dur- ing the year the Board has held twenty-two nnectings and a number of conferences. Meetinns have been held with the Planning Board, the Watertown District pursing Associatioli, cbief of the Fire Department and with the retail grocers and neat dealers. A serious attempt has been made to explain the ptuj)oses and ambitions of the Board to different classes of citizens upon whom devolvcs more than the ordinary responsi- bility for preservation of the public health. I-Ve believe that an encouraging start has been made in the right direction. The Beard early realized that the reorganization of the health work which the Town demanded could only be scoured through placing the active work of the department in the hands of a grained expert. After careful investigation, the Board selected Charles B. 1Iomn, a g aduate of the departments of public health. of Ilarward and the Nlasstnchm%tts Institute of Tech- nology. Under his active management, the department has been rehabilitated and a strong beginning, has been trade in �,nving Watert:a n a thoroughly scientific, well-organized and efficient health department;. The rooms of the Board of Health luave been. renovated, re- equipped with furniture, fling cases, n-iap and blackboard systems;a tuberculosis dispensary has been installed at a aloder-, ate outlay, which experts from the State department of health have strongly commended; laboratory apparatus has been pro- 4 REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH 15 v ded, which enables the Board to diagnose cultures from suspected contagious cases within a few hours after their re- c ipt, inste,°ad of sending to Boston as in the past. Valuable lives ma.y thereby be saved. The Board of Health feels gratified at the record which has been made in the reduction of the number of contagious di scasesa A cut of nearly 50 per cent was achieved, despite the fact: that surrounding cities and towns generally show an increase. In fact, Watertown is chc only district in metropolitan Boston whose I M 5 contagious record shows a decrease. The death rate for the year was A, a material cut from the previous year, and lusts than 50 per oent of the death rate of Boston and only about half of the record for the State as a whale. Watertown his had but one epidemic during the year, this being one of diphtherkt in Bast Watertov m., Prompt ,vork, happily, prevented spread of the contagion and arrested it in its easily stages. The work of the agent of the Board cotilJ be greatly broad- ened were the sere-ices of an office assistant to be secured. The Board is strongly of the opinion that, a rapidly growing town of the size of atertown should grant to its health department au office assistant; whose pres6nee would release the agent for outside work upon which his entire time could be most profit- ably expended. The Board has taken under its own supervision the protection of the milk supply of Watertown. The results have Derr satis- factory and we believe should be continued. The Towa Meeting has referred to the Board of Health the plans and specifications for a public convenience station to be located in the basement of the Town Hall, The Board has e mnined the plans and believes that such a station would greatly benefit the community. It feels, however, that it should not, at this t.inic, recommend such an expenditure. `f`he fact is notorious that the present Tavvn Hall is in a crowded condition and is not of sufficient size. It appears reasonable to expect that a huger and better building will sworn be con- structed, ajid for this reason the Board of Health, though realiz- ing the need and.. approving the plans, does not feel that it 6 W?tTE RT{W.N TOWN REPORT should tai-c upon itself the responsibility of rccommending such an expe iditure at this time. Your Board has striven to obtain the best results for the public health of Watertovm. At times during the year it has had to meet situations�-vhich were not always pleasant, but your Board has had in mind no ffiendship, but the duty it owed to the coz17mamity for which it acted. The reports of the various. agents of the: Bawd are herewith submitted. JOSEPH L. DR7[1 II EY, M.D., Chairman, GEORGE G. BASS, WARREN M. WRIGHT, Clerk.

To the 11'aterto--&w Board of Health. Gevilerrmen. T herewith present for your consideration the annual report of the Agent of the Board of Health for the year ending December 31, 1915. I desire to comment briefly upon the improved and improving sanitary conditions and the accomplid=ents of a sanitary nature. Active co-operation by all officers of the heahl-i de- partment with the v,-tricvus other town offickils has promoted a high degree of efficiency in the work of thu. pass yt:ar, and indications are for better and even more thorough protection to the public health during the coming year. With the installation of a bacteriological laboratory for the earIy diagnosis of ctiscs of contagious and infectious disease, together with thLc use! of disinketants in all cases of disease, and an efficient follawv ttp eainpnign in all reported cases, the health department, has been able to reduce very materially the num- bers of contagious disuses. In spite of the fact that the popu- lation of WatertDW31 l as greatly increased during the past year, and while surrounding comnitnit.ius have experienced increases rather than decreases in the nuinbm of cases, only 141 cases of diseases dangerous to the public health occurred in Watertown during the year, this being a reduction of 135 oases, or 43.9 per cent over 1914. Diphtheria. Diphtheria, perhaps the most fatal of children's diseases, is still %N-ith us. Of the 29 cases of this disease reported during the year, 7 are directly traceable to the failure of an out-of- town physician to report known cases. Thing the Month of August 23 cases of diphtheria were reported in two days. All of the patients live. on Berldey Street in Fast Watertown, Feel- ing that this, while not a, large number of cases, was unusual, your agent immediately investigated the conditions and found 3 more active and -=irulcnt cases, 2 of the-in being in a 7 S WA.TERTOWN TOWN' REPORT grocery store. Tlospita.li&-itioxi of ail known urses was ir=edi- ately ordered, and the source of the epidemic was discovered on the smnc day. A Cambridge physician had treated several persons on this Arcet for "tonsillitis," but, according to the physician's story, " had never decided what form of tonsillitis the patients had." These unreported cases were surely diph- theria, and Nvere perrrritted —unlmown to the Board of Health — to mingle with the children of the neighborlyood, and (directly infect ether persons. Knowing that an epidenie of this kind aright easily spread in this part.icLiLar neighborhood, and that many persons had ah`cady been exposed to the infcctian, the assistance of four physicians and the police department Nvas obtained, and about; four hundred doses of diphtheria anti-toxin ivere given for irr ininlzzing purposes, The anti-tc xhi N1.as administered only to those persons ivlio desired to be protec-tcd against the disease, interpreters expLaining to the residents the advisability of quch treatm.ent. Wlific Several persons refused to be protected, it was beciiase of their ignorance, of the advantage of the treat- meut, and they after ,-u ds requested that the prophy hums be administe-red. This was done under the direction of the health department. The epidemic ivas effectively checked, only one rnore case being reported. This was a person who had been in Boston the day of the physicians' visit;, and who had not received the anti- toxin. This epidemic. denion traces the absolute necessity of an early diagnosis, which the card of Health now offers through its laboratory, together with active co--operation bet-xeen the physicians anal this department. All cases of sore throat shoidd be considered dangerous =61 proven othem ise. One other case: of diphtheria was traced to a diphtheria car- rier, and the carrier ease was found to have been infected by a second carrier. Bcth carrier cases worked in a store in an ad- joining city, and the two patients were placed under quarantine until the danger of their gi-ving other persons the disease had passed. REPORT OF BOARD OF IlRk .TH 9 Typhoid Fever. Only fi%,c cases of typhoid fever occurred in Watertown daring the year. Two case were in one family, and., f believe, were directly due to a carrier of the germs. As coin tired with 1914, the mduction in this disease —which is one of defective civiliza- tion— for the year has been SY2 per cent. Other Diseases. An increase of eight uses of tuberculosis over 1914 is noted. Overcrowding; of dwellings is a. factor in the breeding and de- velaiDnient of this disease.. A. large proportion of the new cases reported were among persons of for(-3'gn birth. Much remains to be done in figh.021-this disease. 'While the Board has opencd a well-equipped (11spoasary for the treatment of tuberculosis, lack of sufficient fends for the carrying out of a mnsist-ent cam- paigm has greatly hampered activities along these lines. Hidden or unreported cases must be found and treated if our progress is to he one in the right direction. The assistance and practical co-operation of the school au- thorities lips been obtained in the activities of yGiIX agent in controlling disease. The schools are at once notified of cases of contagions disease. Children are immediately excluded from the schools until all danger from infection has passed.. Tlic principals of the various schools report to this office the absence of any child from school for inure than three days or those out of school with a suspicious history of illness. It 'aas the intention of this office to fallow up all of these ems, in order to fmd -md dace under our control eases of infectious disease which would probably pass unnoticed. It- is to be regretted that your agent has been unable, for Nxant of office assistance and means of conveyance, to do justice to this important line of the wark. However, it is to be hopped that with an a,utoma- bil , and additional clerical sendees (appropriations for which are bci.n,g asked) this phase of our work may be better provided for during the corning year; and that the corm-minity may be served by enlarged activities of tlic. employees of this office. Sanitary Regulations. The re:6nilations of the Board of Health, which were p s,:ed a riumber of years ago, have outlived their usefulness. 1 I-Lny 10 WATER TOWN TOWN RMFORT parts of the regulations could never be enforced, while other important matters should be included. Owing to the fact that no appropriation was at hand, for the publication (as required by law) of any new set of regulations which might be drawn up, no stich regulations were put: into effect. However, your agent now has in the cater of preparation a smi tary cede, which I believe should prove a benefit to atcrto- n. Death Rate for Watertown, Massach-asetts.

Deaths -Eisewhere in this report will be £oxuid a table of the age dis- tribution of deaths isiWatertown and a list of their causes. The death rate for the yux was 7.4, meaning that of every 10,000 persons in population in Watertown, 74 j rsons died during the year. The average: death rate for the preceding 15 vears was 12.3, or 123 persons to every 10,000 iii population. At this rato the. anticipated ntunber of deaths is Watertown during 1915 wound have been 221. As a, natter of fact, 0111y REPORT OF BOARD OF MALT11 13 133 persons died during the year, or 39 per cent. less t�inn thc- noniial expectancy. This decrease of 88 deaths is partly due to better s'-Mitary condiwons and to the benefits of the educational c-unpaign. A study of the age distrilmtion of deaths shows that most of them were * the very low and very high age groups. This is due to In 9:1 the fact that Watortavm's incTea.,ge in populatioxi has been coin- posed mostly of 1)(-rsans in middle life (under forLy years). From the sLandpoint of the health department, -most still- births, mid deaths under one year must be looked upon as pre- ventable. With tin increase in knowledge, follow,ing an intensive educational campaign, it is to be expected that the deaths in the lower age groups can be materially reduced. After a cl,:Lreful examination of the death certificates of the year it mav be said that many of them are carelessly made out by the physicians, necessary inforiiiation is often omitted, and not iafrequently, the cause of death is obscure and indefinite. The practice of interring a corpse without a bunial permit has been entirely too common in several private oemeterics within the Town, and successful efforts have been made to check this abuse.

The decrease of-almoA fifty per cent, in the contagious disc-Ise record of Watertown can be traced partly, I believe, to the campaign of education which has been carried on by the Board of Health, health le tans, ar little talks on livalth and hygiene, have been prepared by your agent and furnl hcd to the three newspapers in Watertown. Much assistance was rendered the Board by the Tribiaw-Enk-rPrise, the Free Press and the Times in publishing these articles. Any fimprovenient tl­i�it the Board of Health rnay hope to Inl_lie in health conditions in the TmA-n insist, necessarily, corne through intellectual and social betterment. This menus educa- tion not only of the &o-called 11 ignor.-int foreigner, but of every person who may contract a discase, or who may die, from a preventable cause. Above all, the 'health department of a Int"'IciPalityshould be constnictive agency. Itswork- would shmv to better advantagc if it had at its disposal the projxz financial means for carrying on the same sort of work for all its citizens that the schools arc, doing for the. children. The health department should exert a Powerful influence as an educational force. Social betternient lvorl<, of the right sort falls naturally into tmlo classes— the things do-no to meet the necessities of the pres- ent situation, and things(lone to make .,L repc-Lition af- unhealth- kCi'ORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH 1� ful conditions impossible. NAZI cen a child falls into a stream becaum them is a. broke a htindra.il on the bridge, two lines of action immediately present themvwlves to cvcry thirakia-ig per- son. FirsL, the child should be rescued from the water, second, the handrail on t1w bridge should be repaired. The reduction in contarimis disease for the past year is ei- dence that the first line of action has received adequate consideration. " To fix the bride " means to educate. Thirty-six children died in WaturLown during the past twelve months before reaching the age of one ,ear. It;is pretty gencr- ally- agreed among medical authuritics that, while the lack of more public imprnvements and the lack of adequate housing conditions may have something to do with the deaths of the babies, the ignorance: of parents is the potential factor. Asa con naunity, Nvc pre.?sm-rtahly -�var against ignorance. We have schools in order to make, it cu twin that; little Johimy Jones mill he able to spell Cons u:ntineoli-le and that little Susie Smith v'U be able to Egure how iring it would take four men to clay a piece of -work if three -men earl', able to -wind tip the job in ten days. Our school syAcm is our answer to the challenge of a s ignorance." It is a tribute i&*e pay to the worth of the child. It is because AA,zttertown is evading soine of its duties as a municipal corporation di at the INTatertown District Nursing Ass06111ation has to step into the breach and provide nurses. It may be rejoined that Wa.tcTt+o m cannot afford to carrr` on any ex-tciisivo educational campaign. Some persons my the same thing about ottr schools, but most of us are profcawndly eom inccd that we cannot afford to he Withottt the whools. It: is the: wine in the else of all igiioranc:e. One thing that Water- town con afford to do is to stake a good investment. It: is always a good inve~,stiment whim we do anything to raise 1hring Standards. I1s the " Ignorant " parents are given assistance, the resale %,ill be less sickness rand that is an econonuc bernefltr. The Labomtory. Burin- the rear there has been established in the ofl"im of the Board a Labor-ton, for the dEag'nosis of diphtheria, ttthercu- le}sis, Inalaria, t.,'phaid and the various Z-envreal. diseases. &-ibora ears• extuninations are also ima.de of s<'unples of mill[ 16 WATJ�-RTOWN TOWN REPORT collected from the wagons and stores. Examinations for the strc'ngth Of fllll*�Vftors ',Ind Clisinfect;ints are also intade. By the install ition of this hLboratory ritich Lime has been &avc,d the pli-ySICIL-in's in obtaiiiing positive diagnoses in cases of disease, espy-cizilly typhoid foyer and diphtheria. Fcrmerly, a co-uple of days wore requircd in seridilig diphtheria cultures to Boston for examination. But team y diagncsis is slow telephoned the physician ill ei,1111t hours aftor the mattrial is recei"red at the local labonaory. The laboratory has also inaugurated the practice of taking cultures frc)m thxoats, of persons mffering froin, or in direct Contact -,;vitlt cases of, diphtheria, to,'Rscertaiii definitely wlaeth(�r gorn's of the disease remain %vith the patient or are &vc1opint-1. I believe [hat in this line of work the health depaTtnicnt is rendering efflicient service to tile j)jjvsjcj.-mS and to the com- munity. These cultiares are taken and exaiiiMcd free of charge. Through such precautionary measures it is bet eyed, that diph- theria can at all tillivs be kept tmdcr control and to a large extent eliminated. One carrier uise—a person suffering with a diphthcritic infection Niithout any physical symptoms of the disease—has been fowid and promptly quarantined until the &-inger from this source had been eliminated. It is to be hoped that an additional aPj)r0j)rhLti0n Will SOOn be a%-ailablc with which to piwchase equipment to the end that the community -may be better served, and offered increased protection through this very * oftant branch of the public . Uni) health senico. Through the coUrtesy of the State 'V7ameniian Laboratory and the State Department of Health, your local Board is now in position to offer to the pkyz;icizns of the community free diag- noses in cases of suspected specific infections. A study of the causes of death in Watortown daring the past year would lead to the belief Oat mtich good may lac dome through these free laboratory examinations. Housing Conditions. Your agent has rccci,,,ed much valuable assistance in the important matter of housing C011diLions from the police depart- ment, build n19 inspector and chief of the fire department. A REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH 17 number of inspectioiLs have been made of unement and lodging houses, and many unsanitary fea- tilres corrected. Three, prose- cutions have been cnls�rcd for violation of the tenement howse act, one person belligy fired 810; anotlit-r, 155; and the third, $25 an a nispended sentcaccll All phins for tenement or lodging hauses are now passed upon bv- the Board of Health before a pernia for their construction is i5med 1)v the building department. It is ex-peTted that such mutual co-operation %%ill tend to stop the comtraction of poorly ligliwd ind improperly ventilated tenements. Garbage Collection. The collection anti disposal of garbage has been under the charge of the health department. The collection is done under contract and the swill is fed to pigs. Contracts for both col- lection and disposal of the swill. expire May 1, 1916. The collection has becii entire- y satisfactory anti no complaints ha%,c been filed. at this office relative to anv nuisance from the farm upon which the pigs are kept. I belicvc that thc- offlelency of this collection could he greatly incre=-d if thrce single wagons were to be used I-jv the con- tractor, rather than a double and single wagon as at present. Ne,;vwagons should be built. 'The anticipated collection of SIVIII diixi:ng the next three year'S is 1916, 1800 Was; 1-017, 1�)00 tong, and 1918, 2000 tons. W-iile the collection and disposal of this material has been carried on during the year at a net cost of only $17 00, 1 believe that this amount could be materially decreased if future Con- tracts for the disposal of garbage are made with better -under- .standing as to the real value of the swill as food for hogs.

To the Board of Heahli of IValarloz . G ntlemen. I herewith present for your consideration the re- port of the Milk Inspector of Watertowu for 1915. During the year all the dairies supplying raw mill{ to the Town have been inspected acid scored, old areinspections have been made with the idea of instructing the producer of milk in the matter of hygienic and sanitary methods. Laboratory ma ations of the milk have bccn conducted, not with the expectation of finding bad millc, but for the purpose of assisting the produo€xr. 1n all, two himdred. a ad fiftccn samples of inilk :have been examined.and=.alyzed. In former years the standards of mill- were cliemical, but if milk contairis the active gernis of disease it is dangerous to the com- nntnity where it is consumed. The bacilli %'�,hich cause diphtheria are known and may be recognized when met. The same is true of typhoid fever. It is =nifestly impossible to exanvne all the milk consumed, and thousands of samples might be tested during the year without happening to discover the germs in a particular and dZL11gCr0t1s1y contamu' rated supply. As a matter of fact, the x c gular routine examinations for bac- teria are not carried on faith the idea of finding disens+e germs, but are merely for numbers —and in the question of pure milk, numbers are of little or no signific{anec. If the -public health is to be protccted it mush nct be through bacteria counts alone, but through frequent dairy inspections and examinations of the employees, and, above all, active co-operation with the producer. Moreover, the erin wluch causes scarlet fever, for example, is not yet identified, and therefore cannot be recognized in Tail . For this reason it is necessary to keep a strip; watch over the farms on which the milk is produced and discover eases of in- fection which might contraninate the mills supply. Water- town's experience with typhoid .fever during 1911 should have taught a lesson —that safe milk can be had only through more frequent dairy inspections, plus pasteurization.. Your inspector has given much of his time to this important 1� 20 WAL TLRTOWX TOWN REPORT work of dairy inspection and has confined himself less to labora- tory examinations. It; is to be hoped that during the coming year it will be possiblc to visit: more fretluont.ly each dairy producing in ilk for consimipt:ion in VAr�ttcrtro%vn.

During the year no disease or epidemic has bhem reported which, in my opinion, ixms due to any infected ndlk supply. Pasteurization. Proper pasteurization is €m etTiclent safeguard against in- fection front nnilk supplies. In considering the local producers of milk., one Ends a division of opinion a$ to the nierit~s of pasteurization. This method of treating the milk is given, by the producers, either a badge of honor or a mark of disgrace. To ant- mind it is deserving of neither. Pasteurization, to me, is an� acknowledgment neon th.c part of sanita,rians that ratio inilk inny be dangerous milk, and the cheapest, lest and most efficient method of reinwring the danger is by heating. For infants, pasteurized milk is lbetter md safer than rzw milk, irrespective of whether the price for the raw milk is eight or twenty-right cents a bottic, I believe, with a> proper educational campaign, that those persons who are now producing;and selling raw milk can be made to sec the value of this extra precaution. 'VVIMe your agent believes that all milk should be so treated, he is unwilling to ad- vise compulsory pastleuniZat,ion, as this might tend to work a hardship upon a few producers who could not afford to install the necessary apparatus. Licenses. During the y>car, seventy-sbc licenses were issued for the sale of milk, and the fees for the same, amounting to $38, have been paid into the Town treasury.

To the School Coninduca: I liere\%ith submit my eighth annual report, which is the thirty-fifth at ntial. report of the Superintendent of Schools of WatcrtoN�m. This report is the seventy-eighth of the J,)Tintt�d reports of the School Committee of Watertown. School Accommodations. It is hardly nccessa T to call your attention at this time to the growth of the To-wn and the growth of the school system. The new High School was occupied in IMarch, 1913, the new Parker was completed and c)ccupied in November, 1914, and since the March meeting of the Town, a new building has beell completed and Nffll be occupied on January 3 of this year. I vish to take this opportmiity to c%prms my appreciation to the committees and the citizens who have so genormisly responded to the} r-a-H for new buildings. Iams11rCW-atertoivn can wc.,11 boast of its school buildings, for I know of no other town or city which has a larger proportion of new and up-to- dato btdldinius. With the completion of the Coolidge School, we shaLl be able to care for the first seven grades in that building, these grades occup3ing ten roorns. The eighth and ninth grades from this district will be housed at the Hosiner School. Grades sic, qcven, eiglit from the Hosiner district will b-0- housed in the PhiUil)q building. In addition to these three roams just mentioned, we expect a groiNth of two rooms from tl-.ds district,, thus malting five roams to care for in the fall of 1916 from the Hosmer district, I am of the opinion that the best way to care for flicso, five rooms 19 to have an addition. of eight rooms to the Hosmer School ready for the fall of 1916. Conditions in the west part of the Town call for an ad d i tion a I room, but since all rooms in the Xfarshall Spring and Lea wvell School,; are occupied, this will mean the reopening of the ,Cyrailt schoDl. r SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT 7 The Six and Six Plan.. There are at the present time many efforts and experiments being tried to make this common school education a sdentific, logic,,d and well-a.rticialated series of steps cUverin,111 twelve years of time. An1a11g the suggestions most prominently mentioned and being tried is the plan known as the " SEX and Six Plan," which means devoting the first six years tc) acgtdr- ing the worlcang tools of knowledge, reading, writing, and the elements of ntunber, the rernaining six gears to be devoted to the broad and inore general education, but subdivided into three intermediate years, in which a great variety of subjects, planned for the well-rotmded instruction of the child and organized so as to give the child a chance to experi- ment in such a way as to reveal his own altitude and inclina- tions and help teachers to discem what may or may not be the paths into which boys or girls should finally be guided. In maiiy of our towns and cities where conditions will per- mit, the three tipper gra=iar grades and the first year of high are brought together and organized as an intermediate or junior high school. In this way, there is opportunity for n10re definite and logically diversified subjects and courses which should be followed as outlined above e by the three ,rears of advanced specialized work in preparation for definite ends. Just how far this plan can be carried out in Watertown, l u- unable, to state, but in planuiug the future policy of the school system, I think careful consideration should be given the plan as stated above. High Schaal Lunch Counter. The Lunch department at the I-Egh ScHool since last September has been carried on under the direction of Miss Lucy D. Rced, the teacher of domestic science. As far as ive have observed, these lunches have been entirely satisfactory and have been conducted so that the: cast thus far has been met by the income. Much has been accomplished that is unique and cor mend- able in the departments of drawing a.ud household arts, irl- cluding millinery and dressmaldng, which is worthy of elaborate report, but which, to be fully appreciated, needs to be obsen�ed at first hand. O%Ang to the growth and added work- iii the. WATERTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS art. department, Miss Gladys I.IrI.

One of the greatest problems of the granimar schools is the accumtlation at about; the fifth or sixth grade of a group of children too old to be retained its primary ;school but of too feeble capacity to go higher in the grades. There should be special classes in each grammar school in which stich cases might be thoroughly tried out x6th small ntunbers and sIdiful teachers. Dr. Fernald of the hist;itution at Waverly in an SUPERINTENDE NT I S REPORT address to the parents and teachers of Watertown wotad recom- mend that such classes cannot be depended upon to do more than to draw out the powers of the children, returning to their classes such as prove not to be hopelessly dQfective and can be rendered capable of worldng With non-nal. children. He would further reconnnerid transferring to sorne special in- stitution all such children as prove incapable of regulating their ow-ii conduct and who are, therefore, disqualified for participation in normal societv.. Medical Inspection. The scope of niedical inspection has developed beyond what could have been foreseen when it Nvas begun. At that time we felt chiefly concerned about contagious diseases. These are givon as much attCTItiOn as 011'er, but it has become ap- parent that the largest benefits of this wark are fowid in con- serving -)up-Is by improving hygienic conditions the health of I I in buildings, by maldng a careful study of individuals, by home v- sitations and by mmsurcs designed to remove cause of future physical disability. One of the paiticular steps that luas characterized the past year is an arrangement 7itb the Forsyth Dental Infirmrary in Boston by which the School N-Larse takes ten children for treatment every Monday morn- ing. This is done practically without cost to imrents save for transportation and is limited to those whose means would not enable them to go to a regrular dentist. The report of the School Nurse follows: Ntunber of inspections made ill school, 3115 Number of children referred to medical inspectors, 32 Children taken to Pope Dispensary for con-teal ulcers, 3 Children taken to Pope Dispensary for defective N-ision, 32 N=ber of children to be fitted with glasses, 30 Children taken to Pope Dispensary for enlarged cer- irical glands, Children taken to Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary for defective vision and chronic otitis, Notices sent to parents, 182 Home vigitq, 382 School visits, 354 10 WATERTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS Total number treated for cuts,burns, braises, impetigo and minor infections, 723 Number of children trcated at the Forsyth Dental hi- firmary, 23 Cases referred to parents and fan-Lily physicians: Badly infected hand, 4 Fractured hand, 1 Corneal ulcers, 3 Ring-worm, 4 Enlarfcd tonsils, 18 Operilted uposl, 12 Alveolar abscess, 2 Infected ccrvictil glands, 1 Chronic otitis, 1 Septic fact, 1 Infected 1rin, 2 Evening School.

The library now serves aco-nununity of 16,515 people, this boul- the population of Watertown according to the recTntly =notinccd State census. The grawth of the library has been conunensurato NVith the increase in the population of the Town. Owing to the increased appropriation ($500) at the last Town MeeLmig, the Trustees have.been enabled to add t851 new books to the library during the past year, thus, in a- king the total num- ber of books now 45,353. The circulation of books. for the year w as 771,05)8, M increase of 0255 over last yeas, and artioacrcase of 25,246 over the cirm- hation five years ago. The increase in the nun-Lber of books has made necessary an additional card catalogue case. This is now in process of constriacLion, and when completed will be ample for several years to come. The question of establishing branch library at the east end of the Town has received much consideration by the Trustees but the problems of finding a suitable location and of financing the -tmdertaking rernain as yet ivasolved. The nucessary ada- tional expense could not be inot from the usual appropriation. Dwing the year the roof of the library building has been repaired at an expense of about ono hnndrLd dollars. The j.-anitor service. has been increased and i2riproved by the employment of a man to give his entire time to the work. The library plant is an extensive one and the charges of properly maintaining such an instit-ution are %,cry considerable. But we believe that the library is well wortl-L to the Town all that it costs. The Trustees respectfiffly ask froth the Town for the use of the library for the ensuing year the same ap propria- tion as was made last vicar—the sum cif $7200.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. Another year has passed and closed its work, .and L11L Li- brarian for the forty-eighth time marks another anniversax-y of the founding of this library. Much that was at first at- tempted has been accomplished, but the bright ideals of the earliest days still flit before one, leading on. There is no limit to the vmrk that may yet be done; the ideal library, while it so far transcends anything that cap be realized in the imniedi-- ate future, is sufl"icicnt.ly definite to encourage rmsonelble cfforts for the realization of greater results than have yet been made manifest. The collection of boobss and periodicals can always he made larger and more complete. Something more caun always be dome to ina.ke a more helpful preparation for the -Work that a library should do in a community like this, niche for the schools, more for the social and civic life of the time. It is permitted to reflect, in view of its progress so far, that PO something has been done; indeed, the principal pleasure in the work comes from the satisfaction with which one can look over the natural results of ninny an earnest effort of the past. One Labors in anxiety, frequently doubtful as to results, but there is a law of growth that fails not izx the end. The library has now more than forty-five thousand bound valtunes can its shelves, rigorously growing niething more than a collection of books bound and complete in themselves; it has a great mass of periodical literature in the active, growing condition as it conics fron, its authors, yet rapidly being ar- ranged, thoroughly indexed and made useful. The acctii Wat- iug Vchunes obtained by bindizig the live and growing mass are the result of most active work in all the different directions in which the young and -%igorotis, as well as the older and more experienced, thinkers are adding to the wealth of thimight and knowledge. Over seventy-seven thousand voltunes have been issued from our library this past vear to bath young and. old. The sikmificancc of these figures is that they show that cur 6 LIBRARIAN S REPORT 7 people not only read, but that they are forming the habit of reading; they read not only for enjoyrnent, indulging in the pleasures of the mind, exercising the faculties of the imagina- tion, but revel in these exercises and flights that lift life above the dull humdrum of mere existence and in the free air of an ideal life learn to adept the stcrrser coaditions to freer and -more desirable ends. The work of the library connects itself with prowess in all directions it opens the door to the higher and letter things; it takes by the hand all that require larding; it shows hour to deg things. In every way we see its work prosper; we see it as our best friend; we rest in its leading; we grow into its strength; we adulate its riches; we store up the materials of 'wealth and helpfulricss. The number of books purchased the past year is somewhat larger than for soiree years past, even from the usual appro- priation and gifts, and, thanks to the Town for the extra, sum of fie hundred dollars, it ba:s bem possible with this somewhat generous amount of over fourteen hundred dollars to give an impetus to the growth of =r book collection which.will en- courage the young and all lovers of good books. The n=ber of books issued to readers last year, we were then able to report, seas larger than it had ever been before, but this year of 191.5 the � have given out ten thousand more 1--ooks than in that active year--over seventy-seven thous and volumes have been carried av,ay to the homes of the people. The n=bcr of books to draw from we show is on the in- crease. It has already reached quite; a respectable limit. The Trustees have given much thought to the character of the col- lection. It must be that while the number of boAs is in- creased, the: quality of the collection is also greatly improved., e might-name illustrations of this great improvement. The approaching completion of the new set of the International Encyclopedia will be a decided gain, a.ls-3 the acgtiisition of the great work of Burbank, the genius who is revolutionizing the vegetable world by his great discoveries, who has invented new species of fruits and Flowers and is shoeing the world how much greater iniprovements may be started. His work will prove ail inspiration to the observing bay or girl who examines his beauti- S WATBRrowrr PUBLIC LIBRARY ful pages. Not only has he made the thorny cactus, which seems so natural to the aria deserts and repels by its defenses all animals, to leaxn new and milder forms, to pint on beauty and learn to nourish and support where it fought off all ad- vames, but he has combined good qualities and overcome bad panes by culture. His beautiful and beneficent changes will give direction and help to greater works to come. His work will set the busy hands of the young and the thoughtful to new and. greater inventions al-id discoveries. In this, as in many another direction, the printed book 'becomes the incentive to new life and accomplislunent. The young people in the library are busy. They haA-e gone through a thorough examination of the boob and periedieals on the shelves during the past set n. The forty-fire thousaxad volumes and the twenty-five thousand periodicals have been easefully called off and accounted for—all but the few h,un- dreds that have strayed out of bounds, the hundred and ninety- eight that are worn out and have been replaced by new copies. Some hundreds, of course, have been rebound or mended. The number that could not finally be faund or replaced is incon- siderable when we compare it with the whole. Constant and endless care nitast be exerted to keep the stock unimpaired. Appeal must ever be made to the young and those -unskilled in handling such perishable property as illustrated books to enable than to be of most enduring use;. This is a necessary part of the worl: of librarians. This gives the young occasion to become skilled. This leads to culture, is a civilizing process. When. the people desire greater privileges from library or reading-rooms in any part of the Town, they can have them. Vflzat we really want; we get. When we prove Nvorthy, by mak- ing our needs Iniown, new advantages come to us. The exten- sion of library privileges will meet the needs of progress. A very pleasant and helpful experience of the past year is worthy of mention. NcighLwrhood gatherings of librarians employed in the various libraries within a dozen miles or so of each Bather in this part of the State, encouraged by their trustees, have been held for mutual helpliilness -md social inter- course. Questions of administration arising during the progress LIBRARTAW'S REPORT 9 of their work are considered, so the details involved in the care of books are discussed. Some one with more shill in covering or protecting their bindings will demonstrate by actu- ally covering books in presence of the others, or perforim other laboors with skill; or repairs ,are actually made with explana- tions so as to show the better wkys of doing things. Some- tinics discussion of the choice of boobs is engaged in; or the best ways to make people acquainted with the contents of the library furnish topics of consideration; sornetimes the faults of writers or the presence or absence of good taste or the refine- nients of good style in any particular writers lead to criticisms which are as endless and various as the characters of the librarians themselves. Thu Trustees bave aclmowledged the benefit of these pleasant and useful meetings by contributing - entert;aininent in the form of a noonday lunch that enables the assistants in the hbraries to return to their various libraries for their afternoon labors without undue lass of time. Our collection of music is somewhat cramped for room, but has made a beginning and with more means -will in time grow. Each one who by direct aid or advice helps to add a few books wig make a valrlable addition to our library. Music shmild not be oin tted. All subjects will, in turn, yield -,Taluable contribu- ticns, like either branches of art. Iu tlic summer a thorough examination of the library was made. It had not been possible to exanlina the whole library since the steer of 1912, as the only have time to do it when the circWation dccreascs. In the sLmuner of 1913 the time was spent preparing the new fiction catalogue, and in 1914 we were busy changing our system of charging books. The examination showed that out of our 45,000 volumes, 119 were missing. Of these, 21 were missing in 1912, but had not been accounted least, 16 we bad not been able to recover from borrowers, fi were missing frorn the referw-icc room, 4 from the deposit station at East Watertown and 11 from the children's Town, the remaining volumes had disappeared from the open sheh,-es and stack. We still have hopes that some of these missing looks will stray back to us. Since the btdl.ding of a new schoolhouse of ten rooms in the east part of the Town, it has become more apparent by the 10 WATERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY contrast bctwcen the laqger school accoiyunodation acrid the limited privilegcs for the use of books that the hooks furnished are all too few to satisfy long the wide-awake children of that portion of the Town. There is no reason why, as they become more familiar with good reading, they should not have oppor- tunity to see snore of the best of hooks and, the brightest of periodicals.

In the Children's Department for the year 1915, there has been an increase in the number of books taken out. The circu- lation for 1915 was 28,096 as against 23,712 for 1914, showing an increase of 4384 volumes. The attendance for 1015 was 35,212, as against 33,327 for 1914. The increase was 1885. Alen childrencome in grotps and swarms it is almost impossible to keep an accurate accotint. For instance, in 1915 the largest n=bcr of honks for the year was given out'i.n November, but the attendance, accord- ing to figures given, was not as large its in other months. t Story Dour the attendance Nras 5, although, on account of the pleasant weather in May and June, no Story Hours were held as in 1914. However, they were resumed in the second weep in October. Books are sent to the schools and visits are made to the schools. For a Tong time the subject of fines has been a perplexing one, but the difficulty of getting the cliil&en to pay their fines has beca somewhat overcome. In niany cases, wlien a fine Ims been -- incurred on a child's card, the child was deprived of the use of the card and, nv books could be drawn out. Two methods were tried and have proved efficient. If the parents and the child who had a fine on his card were willing, the child could " work aft' " his fine. Keeping the roam in order or clea:nmi g soiled bcok3 were some of the tasks. In the second method, the child saved his pemiies. One little girl, did not go to the "movies " for a,weep and batigh,t less candy. The registration of the hildren's Department is rather un- satisfactory. The signature of the parents seems necessary before the child can take out any hooks. 'Sonietifines the par- nts who are untable to write their names let any one sign, the registration blank. It has seemed advisable to visit the bomes and get the consent of thc parents before any books are issued. A personal contact between the family and the library is often seared and is very welcome.
