To the Ilikabilanis of Watertown: As your Selectmen we present our report (A the variou-s dopartments of the Town under our char,.,e for the year ending December 31, 1016. During the year 1916, Watertown entered a period of ac- celen, ted grol-fth. A census taken by the police in januzary, 1917, shouts a I.-opulation of 20,055, with houses in process, of consLi-Lictic)n sufficient to provide for two thotimrld more. Increased valuation as shown by buildinkr purinits issued diii-Ing the year is s, 2,055,5K. To provide our iic�iv citizens with public utilities has required this past year and will require, forced draft in financing and <4(hr.ii-nistraticn. Yotir Selectinium feel the necessity of united action on the rt of all officers of the To-WTI v.nd all citizens towards adopting a broad 1.)alicy of directing the character of the duvelopinent of the romintrig vacant areas Of 013 'PD- Tn, to the end that encouragmient may. be ghren to property bringing in the maxi- mum of revenue and demanding the rniiii7nitiln of 1-nWilcipal expenditure, cmd thereby maintaining for the town as a whole a satisfactory' relation between the tax rate and the public t)ejjc!fjts and protection. Finances. A detcrmiTipd effort has be,-n mado to adii-iinister all depart- mc,nts to the strict letter and spirit of the Annual Town IMcet- ing, and particularly in respect to lixing within the several appropriations. But one special i-necting was required during the year for tm,nsfers a-ad readjusti-nents. Highways, Bridges and Culverts. (Far details rcler to reports of SuperinLeTldui-LL of Streets and Town Engi-neer.) Gradually, the Town is increasing the amount of road sur- face of modern character. Properly maintained, the type of 8 REPORT OF SELECTMEN Bern'rudez inamdam, such as built this year on the southerly side of Mount Atiburn Street, and Galen Street �ill remain Linder through traffic in good condition fora considerable period of years. We recon-n-nend a oontinuation of this plan, which inv-olvez rebuilding all inadequate underground construction, and ive htive chosen streets that are main thoraughfareS07 are well established enough to duermi-ne Lbe charactcr of the underground work. During the yen the Selectnami have recommendcd adopting a policy of laying out and building streets, particularly 171 development areas, tinder the Betterment Act. This follo%,%,ed after a %,-ery careful consideration of a plaa to do the work by voluntary agreement and an investigation of the operation of the Act in the cities of Newton and Spring- field and the Town of Arlington. School Street. The -vtidering and grading of this street was completed before the winter season, the surfachi- remains to be done in the spring. The Tou-ii is under obligation to the Oak-ley Country Club, and the Massachusetts IlDmeopathic Hospital for the convev- ance without charge to the To'%m- of land owned by their required for the widening. The ptirchme of the balance of the land proved a very difficult and delicate matter as the option r)'Iven ong'Inaltv by the owner ronteniplated a fifty'-four-foot widening and the vote of the To,%An authorized a fifty-foot widening. Tlus was further aggmvated by the fact that the owncr had sold subject to the original option. to rnany different purchasers and that many of the lots had become encumbered x6th one and in some cries two and ffirce mortgages. Between thli-hr and forty soparate i-tis-truments and agrect-nents were requirud to effect the purchase. Drainage. Tho Arlington Street drain completes another link in atir main drainage problein. This coining year we recommend that there be built certain parts of UIC 111aia drain fotlo�%ing the water course southeasterly fmin Foss land. 10 WATERTC}WN TOWN RTsP()R'r Sewers. By reason of the udden ; rov-tti of residential sections it h'as become necessa.ry to continue the sewer construction into the N►it er and tin(ler very trying conditions. During the ' << we have adoptcd a rule of charging upon the house oNti ncr rL l�..re, esti-inattyed at one-}calf, of the cost of the sewer connuci ion from the main to the property line. Ashes and Paper. A po:lic'v has been followed of reducing the cast of this service by choosim', the shortc,st: h aatl and at the saTne time avoiding the creating of nuisanccs at the dtamping phices. Poles and Wires. We recommend a connection with the Fire Alarm Svstenl of the Town of Belmont and the same hind of coi-operation between the two tniviis that has obtained between Watertown ert[?wn and Newton for several years. Victuallers' Licenses. A policy of issuing licenses only to those who cotild qualify strictly .as victuallers hk�s been followed, as provided by :statute. This course was made clear by the action of the: Town at the annual meeting in refusing to €ar-Ce,t; the special act Ruthorizing the licensing and sale of ice cretin-1, ftaut, etc., an the Lord's Days. The Loteal number issued was 19, -t alnst 42 in 19105 . Fire Department.

More 2$ W,A4TER'rClWN TOWN REPORT new houses inean aciclit.ional territory to be mare thoroughly covered, as a built-up section demands more of an officer's time than a district of vacant lots. For this reason I recom- mend that the number of patrolmen be increased from thirteen to,sLxteen men, During certain hours in the night., v�*hen the police protection should be at its highest efficiency, there re- main certain routes without adequate protection. " Safety- First ' demtands that the Police Depa.rtuient give more atten- tion to the dangers arising from tragic, and for this reason more men are needed in the. department. People who use the streets should have protection against tli.e reckless auto- mobile dn'c:r. There are manly dangerous crossings in the Town where the services of = officer are- badly needed, par- ticularly on Sundays and holidays. Froin Beacon Square to Church Street there is constant danger, and during some clays two officers would not 17e too mane in this area. I4+;it. Auburn Street, at the entrance of Bigelow Aveltuc, needs a police officer for at least six Hours during every worlcday when the employees of the Hood Rubber Company are going to and from work. The reduction of 6ctuallers' licenses frorn forty-two (42) in 14115 to eighteen (18) in 1916, has r-salted in food, especially in the east section of the 'Town, and the adepticn of proposed legnslation providing for licensing so-called "coffee houses" %rill enable the department to further improve present conditions. Tweirty-eight (28) cases of violation of Autotnobile Laws arc the beginning of a campaign which will result in the proper regulation of automobile traffic in our Town. At the present time, practically every mmn in the department is busy with police work- from tivelve to fourteen hhom-s a day, this being too Tench to expect of the men and at tLe same time demand c(Ticient service. An addition of three men to the force would allow a rearrangement of the routes and a reduction in the ni-=ber of hours of patrol cluty; and it would then be possible to detail the men on special duty as theoccasion might demand. Such an arrangement would also provide better protection for the morning hours from four to seven o'clock, when there are but tNv.o men on duty under the present system. REPORT OF CHIEF 4F FOLICI, 20 It is further recommended that, a new police box be located at the corner of Clyde and Commonwealth Roads. The desk for the siLmal system at the police station, con- nected NNith the v,-rious police boxes, should be replaced. This inachine xv gas a discarded one when pi-trchased a nt=ber of years ago, and has been the source of much trouble and inconvenience. In concluding this report I desire to extend to the Honor- able Board of Selectmen, judge Abbott, the 'Torn Clerk, the meirtbers of the department, and all others who have so kindly co-operatcd with me in the performance of the duties of my office, my sincere thanks. RespecLlully submitted, JOHN F. IVILMORE, Chief of Police, ORT OF THE CHIEF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMEXT. 7'o the Honorable Board of Sulectmen.- I herewith submit the following report for the Fire Depart- ment for the fiscal year ending Demnber 31, 1916 Manual Force. The total inernbcrship December 3 i is thirty-one inen classed as follows: One pennanent chief, one permanent captain, one permalient engineer, nine permanent privates assigned to com- panies (one additional permanent ii-nan was appointed during 191b), one call stoker, eighteen call ladder and hose i-nen, total, twc�lve pemianent and nineteen call men. Thc various pieces of apparatus are all in good condition, four thousand feet of tim and one-li'aif inch hose is available for service; discarded or untit hose has been turne-d over to the FllghLvay Department, Five hundred feet of hose must be purchased as soon as possible. Should an additional hose wagon be added to the department it should include hose, as the hose now in service is only enough to allow reloading the present apparatus. Fires and Alarms. Di-i-ring the year the department has an.cavered a total of 139 alarms, 64 bell, and 75 still alarms; a decrease in the number of alai over the year 1015. '"Thile the alarms show a slight drecrease the losses liav-e increased, as the risks exposed to fire, were of a higher value than for the past three years.

I repeat my rect jumiendatio"I'l of last year that an addiLlanal company, be added to ilic department, provided with a motor combination and twelvc lituldrcd feet of hose, together With other necessary eqttiptnent. I re-conmiend that three, additional pennavient men be appointed to further strengthen the pre-sent force, that thirteen hundred dollars be appropriated for additional fire alarm boxes, and that the fire alarm system be connected with the Town of Behnont and the City of Waltham in order that the sarne arrangement neat. be brit into olicration tliat -%v.e now have with the City of Newton. I1iring the year a used touniilg car -vvas purchased and the chemical tanks on the discarded ladder truck were trans- ferred to this car giving the department an additional the rnical to use for grass fires, etc., all work being done by the permanent Incii at a very small cost. P In closing, I thank your Honorable Board for your co- operation and assistance, also the nienibers of the department and citizens in gencral.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF POLES AND WIRES_ To the .'Seleas etz. Gentleinen: The report of the Potes and Wires Department for the year 1916 is berewith submitted, l ushr, the bast year four new fire-alarm loxes were installed, one at the comer of Sunset: Road and Luella Avenue, one at the corder of Clyde Road and Commonwealth Road, one at the Comer of Patten Strut and Mount Auburn Street and one for the Webster Luinber Company, at the corner of Waltham Street and Rutland Street. Two new trappers were installed and fiv.e tappers were transferred to new locations. The underground s stern was put in on Mount Auburn Street, between Main Street and Bailey Road. In conrect<ion iN�th this work all the circuits "vere cut over to the underground and the avcrbead wires were taken down. The INIres wlurh wcv re taken darn were used on Borne of the streets in 1,orth Watertown. 1 made 2500 Douse inspections and issued 575 permits for lighting to the Edison Electric Illuminating Company. cyless doors were lout; in boxes 21, 31 and 3 and in order to have the numbers Come in rotation; box 3 was transferred to Patten Street, lox 31 to Parker Street and box 33 to AlValnu.t Street. All the posts and boxes'were painted, cemented wid leaded, c1caned and repaired when they requimd it and tested frequently. The limes were gone over and cleared and. the Vrires insulated for tree protection and the barc wire was replaced with new ivire and decayed or dangerous cross-arms were removed and replaced witli new ones. The old wiTc on Arscinal Street; be- tween School Street and Arlington Street was talccu down and replaced with new Nvire, and also on ]3igelow Avenue, Melendy Avenue, Arlington Street between Nichols Avenue and Arsenal Street and Mo-urit Aubuni Street between Bigelow Avenue Land Cottage Street. The wires which ran across private grounds from Bolt Street to Sycamore Street were changed to run by 2 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF POLES AND WIRES way of Harrington Street and Belmont Street to connect With the SycamoTc Street boxes. The folloAangy work was clone by the Edison Company: The line of poles on the south side of Sycamore Street was transferred to the north sine and a new line of poles was set in the. north side of Belmont Street between Harrington Street and Hyland Avenue and the old poles on the south side of the street xere removed. This change was made to benefit the Town wires and those of the Edison Eleetric Illuminating Company and the New England Telephone TolegraL ph Company. A new line of holes was placed on Mount Auburn Street between Franklin Street and School Street, to replace decayed and unsafe poles. A new line of poles was rebuilt on Bailey Road and Brigham Street, new pales Nverc set in can Lincoln Street, on ? enal Street be- tween School ,Street and Arlington Street, seven new pales on Main 'Street and see=oral in various localities in the Town. The Town wires had to be transferred to all these new pales. Wires and boles on Arlington Street between Arsenal Street and Belmont Street had to be changed to clear the Avay for the sewer. A Ford inotor trttek was ptirchased for the use of the Depart- ment and Iia,s proved a. g7cat cGiiv-enience. For the betterment of the Town see ice the wires should be placed uncle rgrotind wherever we have reserved ducts. I recr n—miend that this work be dome on Main Street from Howard Street to the Waltham line. Tf this work is done it ivotild be advisable to connect otir fire-alarni system With the city of Waltham. I also recommend connecting the fire-alarm system ;with the Town of Belmont. This is the cheapest additional fire protection we cart get. Police sign-tal lights should be placed in the Square acid I strongly advocates the underground system, as it k undeniably the safest and most reliable con- struction.

Genticiiien: The follo,4ving report relating to work done by this department during the year ending December 31, 1916, is respectfully submitted. Report The character of the work Ilictirnbcat oil this department during the past year has consisLed of narking lines for streets, sewers, drains and walks and marking grades for same, besides furnishing estil-nates of cost for varimis kinds of construction mid making plans for proposed improvenients. The office aid field work has been done by the 1".mrincer and Roffi-rian until it increased to Such proportions that additional hell) was acquired. consisting of an assistant with previous practice. This force of three will be required to meet the increased calls on this department from ismv- oinvard on account of the rapid growth of the Tovvn. Sewers. Sewers of Watertown have been laid in nearly all the streets. "I'lic total lcngth to date is 44.71 miles. They have been designed to discharge the sewage of the several districts when running one half full, but on account of the care reauired in jointing sewer pipes and the care rcquired in laying the pl])CS oa an unyielding foundation, ,,(nver pipes are seldoiii watertight, the slightest settlenient catises fractures of the joints, vvhereby in wet ground, water percolates through the joints thus di- in' their capacity for sewage; this condition might appear to be an advantage by diluting the sew-age and facilitating the flow, but on the other hand it is a decicled detriment which all sewer builders should emdeavor to prevent. All seivers are not self-cleansing because in many cases the available grade w-ill not a(b-nit of it, and the sewage itself Tnay consist of material that was never designed for a sewer. Sewers, therefore, should be thoroughly and systematically cleaned at least once a year. 50 REPORT OF TOWN ENGINMER 51 U'liere sewers have extremely flat grades causingi sl sluggish -gish flDw and where the quantity of water used is not sufficient to produce more than a slight movenient of sewage, 190me TFLC- chanical device, as for instance, a flush tank siphon should be installed and connected with the water systeni in one or inore manholes of the line whereby a volume of water is discharged periodically -,;vith a flushing effect. For details of sewers constructed during the year see High- way report. Drainage. Main Street drainage district ccnipnses an area of fifty-four acres, the extreme westerly portion of which is drained into the B. & NLL R. R. brook, by a pipe from TNT ain Street througTh Forest Street. The remaining area drains through h4aln Street into the outfall drain by tivo cerneiit pipes of egg shape, equivalent to (12) twelve inches in dianiQtur, one on either side of the Street. The pipes were laid nearly (40) forty years ago a-ad doul.)Ls are ciatertained of their ability to adeqiiately care for the permanent drainage of this part of the district because nothing, is known of their present physical condition. The street department contwuplates repairing ARlin Street west of Cross Street during the coming season by a bitumitious macadam roadway or other efficlent construction wtdch should remain munclested for at least (12) m,,elvc years. It would be therefore an act of wisdoii-i to lay an (18) eighteen-inch pipe intercepting the present drains at a point cztst of Chestnut Street and extending across Saltonstall Park to the railroad brook thereby relieving the present drains, of part of their service. The rapid growth of Watertown, within the last few years, especially with reference to new dwellings, has brought was face, to face with the qubjecL of drainage. In that territory now kao-wrn as the " Foss Land " where hundreds of houses have been Imilt the dra-inagc conditions are such that immediate measures should be taken to remedy any existing tlefpcts, In the inonth of December, 1910, ra drain was laid in Hancock Street, extending from Cliauncy to School Street on the line of Hancock Street as then laid out, since that tune a part of r _ 52 IYAMER9PUW1V TOWN REPORT the original area has been changed, new streets can new lines have been built thus abandoning their fon-ner locations. The drain laid in 191U het:i,cen Chauncy and School Streets crap-es to the nortli. through an area now laid out into house lets, and occupied by dive:llings. This l--irt ut the: drain should be removed, and relai€1 on a straight line: betv,,cen Chatincy and School Streets, through an easement area already acquired for that purpose, a,iid through,an casement area bet,weels School and Boylstciti StrccAs, tlimce between Bo Aston Strect and Dcxt.er A%,enue culvert through an easciiient area [an the "Foss Land " and on the line of the present brook between lands owned lbv the IVIt. Atiburn Associates and land owned by private indivicltia,ls, a total kng'th of 1700 feet. :for details of drains and sidewalks built during the year see -Highway report. Private Streets or Ways, The builcling of private streets in Watertown ha_s been Anne tits to the present time without regard to standard i-Liles of con- struction, with the result that such streets before bellig accepted by the Town have been recoastructecl utidur the ettoniiont Act, causing a tax on owmeri of lots for Nvork that right3fulh belonged to the orighial owner to 1iay.

The asnount called for in the utiunateq submitted by the departments totalled $749,7S4.24. The appropriations recom- mended by the Committee for the year 1916 for atl purposes,, including State, County and Aletropolitan Taxes, total $649,- 1.30-13. Of this stun the Committee recommends that 130,000, provided for the Arlfi.iAon Street drain, a S1 nd 7,000, , asked for the widening of School Street, permanent improve- ments, be borrowed ai-id that the rest be assessed upon the polls and estates for the current year.

Limit of Expenditures. The Town By-Laws and the Acts of dic Legislature limit the araotmt of money that may be expended by any '1`ukkrn Depart- ment from. the 31st day of December to the time of the Annual Meeting. The purpose of this tin- Cation is to prevent an out- going administration from imposing a. serious burden upon their successors in office upon whom the responsibility for the year's work naturally falls. fir.cluded in this lirnita.tion also is the 90 )VATERTOINN TOWN REPORT denial of the right of an outgoing board to bind its successors by the maldaig of'cantracts or the in.mming of obligations, the payment of which is deferred beyond the prescribed period, if such payment would exceed the link set by law. There has bccn a I-AL-Lin evasion of both the spirit and the letter of this limitation in at least one large departmcnt of the Town this year. Such a practice cannot The too strongly condemned. Auto Apparatus. The a2notuit of auto apparatus owned by tine Tonm is in- creasing each year and the cost of its mainteriance soon become a very considerable item. The fire department is already supplied '"rith t�-o valuable pieces of motor equipment —a combination cheidical and hose wagon and a combination ladder and chemical truck. A chief's wagon is asked for this year and has been recommended. The Police Department has a fully ecittipped combination anal-nihnice and patrol. The Highkvay and Water Departnicial s are each provided vfth a car for the use of the Supeaintcndent. Appropriations. are rc- quested and have been approved for a car for the Health De- partrn(iit wid an auto supply wagon for the Superintendent of Poles and Wires. These additions and investigation of the cost of maintera ace of those alreatly M the sere-i cc suggest the -need of a word of caution. The cost of operation and mainte- nance shoul-cl not exceed In a single year, as it has in the Higheray Department ment for the Past two years, the cost of the car itself. Department heads must find a way to curLail in this respect before,the cost of maintenance becomes prohlbitiv.C. Three Shift for Pollee. The only person who appeared before, the Conu-nittee to urge Article 44 was the Citi7.(.nW-IIDSCi-iaiiie heads tliepetition. The attention of the Coi=- rdttee was called to the report of the Chief of the Department in which the adoption of the three- shift system is recommended, and it was explained that this would require the appoints ient of three additional officers. Investigation brought o-at the RLCL tll;Lt TIO town except Brook- line has adopted this systeni and that many cities are still FINANCE COMMITTEB REPORT U1 working under the douable shif t. We have fifteen police officers to care for 18,000 people and cover approximately two square miles of territory. (fur nearest neighbor, the City of Walthaan, with a population of 30,000 and a much larger territory, has only twenty-three police officers. Our Police Department has asked for and this Conunittee has recommended 920,784.76 for its maintenance this year. This means a per capita cost no'tv ofS1.15 for police protection. To adopt the three-shift System would mead an increase of 8 3,600 per year in salaries and further increases to the permanent force would of necessity be in the s,,anac ratio, The ToN%m must have in mind at this time the re- quests for a new police desk and signal system, thu fireproof addition to the police and fire stations with the new �%iring involved, as well as numerous other suggestions and requests wMch would add to the efficiency of the department. A Com- mittee of the Town is mal6ng a study of these matters now and it would seerri the part of wisdom to wait uutil they have com- pleted their work before attempting to niahe a haphazard rear- rangement wMch might proinoto clTiciency in one direction with- out affecting at all other features of the system at least equally important. -It is significant that neither the Selectmcqi nor the Special Corr i-Atee have made any recorruneudation of the so- called threc-shift. Office Hours. The Conumttee believe.,; that the ada- nigtrative offices of the Toiwi should be open on regular working days -without inter- missicii from 8.30 a.m. to -0 P.M. Cid=- s and others who desire 11'Lformatioia in regard to department matters should be able to get it by phone or by personal call at any time during business hours. The compensation 'd to department heads PM compares favorably with other towns and ci ties similarly situated and clerical hire has been generously provided i7i every depart- ment. Departments shotild co-operate so that this continuous service may be provided. Schools. The Town has always been most generous in the matter of school appropriations. In the past five years nearly WO,000 92 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT has been expendccl for new school buildings. There is probably no to-%�-n or city in the state with as large a percentage of well equipped niodeni schoolhouses. There are only three old- fasbioned wooden structures Tiow in use (two small primaries and one upper �--rainniar) and these are in good condition. Another in the center of the Town is still available. The latest of the new biuldings has only been in coi-rurlissioli tWO MOnth& It ivould sceni, therefore, that before the town coaumitb it-self to still further additions to c)ur school plant we aught well 1:-Jause a little, %urvey mir resources, take account of our present and future needs and so haw-v reliable data on whieh to base the next move to be made. A I c�anwhilc our sebools are not, going to suffer, nor should the ofu-repcated rumor of the ii=ediatc development on a tremendo us scale of large b tti I cl ing areas sweep us off our feet. That story has been told so many times and t c) such good effect that we ought to learn caution High School. Otir Hi<--,h School, both in architectural beauty and in the completeness of its equipment is probably uns'LM)assed by any High School of its 67clii Massachusctts. Its mirrim-ilunico\-urs a wide range of useful subjects. It stands well with higher educational instittitions familiar with its scliolastic standards. It ought to ,Altract and. be a pillar of intellectual strength to ev,en, boo i it girl of High S chool age in Watcrtoi�ii cif nan-n al heart and mind. Its doors should be open to them all acid should close for them only when it has lavi-Aied its Nrery best upon them. "The end crmNiis the xvork-," and the Town does not realize fair dividends upon its in-vestment unless a generous proportion of its youth avail themselves of the. exceptional op- porttmitles wliichti school of this ]CInd should offer. Strongmp- resentations have been made to this Committee that our children have not enjoyed to the full these advalit-ages a-ii-d the natta-al query for the reason has not brought so far a satisfac- tory answer. This matt(-.�r is of sufficient importzairice to merit the most carefal consideration of the School ammittee and the Finance Committee M11 co-operate with them in an en- deavor to seek the cause and the remedy. PINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT Preparedness. The time available for our Committee for the consideration of the appropriations and articles in the warrant is necessarily limited, and the nwnber of projects considered covers a wide area. A vast saving of time and enerp might be made and misunderstandings avoided, if those who have b-asiness with the Committee would bo careful to prepare their case fully in advance of their visit and be frank and fair in its presentation. It is the duty of the Committee to sc-nainize carefully all pro- posals which call for the expenditure of the Town's moncy, even. to the extent of "investigating books, accounts and inai-mgenient of any department of the '1-ovn" and the approval of an appropriation carries with it prw-Lically the official 0.1C. of the Conunittee that the sums asked for are reasonable and just. That responsibility is sufficient "ithout imposing, the additional bLLrden of expecting the Coma-nittee to supply the data and provide the ways and inealis, fc)r filiancing these projects. Change of Government. Consideration of the inci-ca5ing ch-nin-nds of the various do- partnients and knowledge of the rapid grourth and dev cloptinent of the Tmrii suggest that the tune is fast approaching when our whole municipal machinery ~ill need to be overhauled and .1 new structure built up butter adapted to modeni conditions and present-day needs, Our Town hooting government has long been t1w ideal and the epitome of pure dernocracy. For nearly 300 years it has served our people while they have seen it grow from a meeting-house settlement to a busy, thniving naimicipality jwst beyand the portals of a gTcat Metropolis. But we have outgrown our swaddling clothes. With our size, our resources, our needs, otir opportunities, it seems as if the process of rebuilding could not much longer be advantageously delayed. E cono='e s of rnan-agernent and ccq-i trot, con solidati Qns of departments,mobilization of our resources,not possible under the present for-in of goverment, light lie better realized under a neiv disFe"sation more in harmony N%rith modern municipal thought. It is La subject worthy of the consideration of o-LLT bast minds. NVe conitnend the suggestion to our fclluw citizens. 04 WATERTOWN TOWNT kEPORT Article 4.

(Petition of John P. Ford mid others.} The Conunlittee was infornie(l that on February 29, 1916, the Board of Health 0,xecuted a contrzact for the collection of gar- bage for a period of three years. Uijcjcr t1lL, circumstances a I?otp- now to authorize the collucLion of garbage by the Ali li- way Department would involve %,jolation of this contract for which the Town would have to resj)ond in damages. The CominitteT, therefore, recommends no apprc)pi-iation as re- que-Acd in this article. Articic7. To see if the Town will vote to adol)t the following resolution: "That it be the sense .of the meeti ng tilit the hours cif labor for the town employees be established at forty-four IMurs per week, that is, an eight-hour day for fiv.e days, wid a h-ILIf-holiday on Saturday without loss of 1)ay." (Petition of jaines M, Oates.) The adoption of this vote and the caMing of it into effect Nvould campel the readjustment of all appropriatium where labor is employed. Figured cm the basis of last year's expendi- tures this would inean an Mcrease of $7,000 in our total appro- priations. The policy of the Toxin to,.vards its laborer as FINANCE COMMITTED REPORT 95 regards lazy, hours of labor, Sunday and overtime work, vaca- tions -%Kith Pay, compensation for injtuies, and service pensions has always been a liberal one and the Coinmittee belioves that a further shortening of the hours of employment would mean the postponement of many needed public improvements or the additional burden of heavier taxes, which would M with equal severity upon all our people.

Conclusion. N conclusion we wish again to advise caution in the matter of providing iinpro,,.roments which will nic,an fixed annual charges that arcsbound to increase each year and swell our total expen- ditures. Xfimiy such additions have been niacle during the past few years. 1,j,,iny lll()r(, mt1st come in Llici i-egular and natural coijrse of our orowffi and dcvelopment. We cannot. exWet to have 1111provcinclits %vithout paying for therm and in .Adition to the first coast the annual -additional burden always should be borne in n:dnd. The test of the efficiency of the Finance Committee cannot always be ineasured by the difference between. the total sums ws.ked and the total granted, but rather by the judicio-us appor- tKaiment of appropria Lions with an eye all the while upunsucb important considerations as debt, interest, valuatim, present needs, future growth and the welfare of all the people. In that FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT 101 spirit we offer thego recommendations and ask for i:heni the approval and support of our fellow citizens. Respectfully submitted, P.

Report of Forth Beacon Street Widening Committee. 1AV,atertov.,n, Mass., March 22, 1916. To dw Citizens of 1.1 atertavn. The Committee appaii-ited to consider the videning of forth Beacon Street, estimate the cast of the&i ne, and report thereon, as authori%ed by rote of 'l'own Meeting held December 10, 1915, begs to report as fallow In vleiv of the fact that a new concrete and steel bridge across the Charles River at North Beacon Street has been provided for by Legislative Act, construction work on which is about to l cnin, also that the City of 3ostcii has ordered, and will soon bagin, the widening of a portion. of North Beacon Street in Roston, your Committue is unanimous in the opinion that the tin-ie has colne when the widening; of North Beacon Street: in Watertown should be taken tip actively, the work commenced as soon as all details can be arranged and properly provided for, and the project carried to completion simultancousiv with the completion of the new bridge or as soon thereafter as May be practicable. r r RECORD O:V TOWN MEETINGS .133 Having agreed Moon the desirability of the &arly commence- ment of this improvement, consideration mras given to the question of host wide the street should be to take ease of the large amomit of traffic this highway, widened and reconstnicted, would attract, and also to provide amph for Lire futurc. ; In the opinion of your Committee the widening should be ample to take care of six lines of street traffic, that is, two , car tracks in the center of the highway and room on either side of the tracks for two vehicles to pass. To provide then: ac- cormnodations, it is recommended that North Beacon Street should be rna,de: not less than seventy-two (72) feet wide. This width would allow for a roadway fifty-six (56) feet wide and � sidewaLks eight (8) feet Avide. To construct the street to this width, with eight-foot sidewalks, and inaintain the sidewalk lines i-i a proper and permanent manner, would call for sidewalk curbilig the entire length, and this y=7 C(mnrnittce re-commends. The question how best to provide for a street seventy-two (72) feet wide was next takers up, whether the land takings and dxnages would be more or less on the south side or on the: forth side; or whether the greatest improvement at about the same cost might not he accomplished by making laud takings on both sides of the Street. After filly considering the rna,tter of widening on the south side and on the north side, and making careful estimates of the cast, your Committee unanimously Agreed that the greatest improvement would be effected, at a difl'ereDoc in cost of only about hive thousand dollars ( 000) by making takings on both sides of the street, that is, taking land on the north side com- 1 Ycncing on land of it argaret T. McNally, at a point about twenty-two (22) feet northerly at right angles from the present northerly line of North beacon Street, and Conti mi g easterly, about eighteen hundred (1800) feet to al paint can the easterly,- line of land m med by Bridget A. Gavin where an offset of about tx[lve- (12) fec.t occurs in the present northerly line. of North Beacon Street, and making; the balance of the land talc- 1njg`s on the south side to make a uui € nn width of soventy-two (72) feet from Beacon Square to Charles River Road and School Street, As the balance of the street, from School Street and Charles 134 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT River Road to the approaches of the new bridge, continues over a right of w,av frol-n the United States, no darnages for land tak-M' as on this part of the highway will be imposed on the Town. A plan showing the proposed lines, prepared by Mr. Wilbur F. Learned, Town Engineer, is submitted herewith. The estimated cost of effecting the widening of North Beacon Street in the mami-er outlined is as follows: Land dai-nages. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . S35,000 Construction, Beacon Square to School Street. . . . . . . . 45,000 Constraction, School Street to now bridge approaches. 25,000 Total. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .S-5105,000 It is to be noted that the foregoing estimate of colistructioll is 'based on surfacing the roadway with Buninidez-asplialt macadam, or equivalent, at a cost of about one dollar (SI) per square yard. To surface the street with granitc blocks on a concrete base would add at least two dollars ($2) per square yard. or about fifty-five thousand dollars ($55,000) additional. The Aoption of thi,, plan of widening North Beacon Street would necessitate the ta1ing entire of-the triangsular Plot and the four succooding properties at the confluence of Arsenal and North Beacon Streets. Considering the large open square which would result from this plan, also that one-third of the widening which yet reinains to be carried out on Arsenal Street woiild be acc(nnpfished' your Committee feels tbat the slight additional expense -neces- sary to carry out the irtiprovement in this ir.anner would be fully warranted. 'I'lle pos%ibility of securing from the County Conin-issioners some financial a-&sistancc to-%�,ard the expense of this ii-riprove- raent, were it to be carried out, was considered. Accordiagly, the Chalmian of the Committee, in company witli ex-Selectnien interviewed Comity Commissioners Lum and Robinson, Gould and Cutting alid e\plaiiied the plans of the Coininittee, The Commissl'Gllel'S agreed that the widciiing -was a very dcsir- able improven-ent, and drat it was reasonable for Waterto ,,vm RECORD of TOWN MEETINGS to erect some assistance from the County, but informed your Committee that it would not be possible to male any contribution unless the relocation and widening Nvere nrdered by them, upon a petition presented by fire citizens of the Tot rn or by vote of the citizens in Town Meeting. In view of the foregoing, your Committee makes thy: follow- ing reccmm-nenelat ions: 1. That the North Beacon Street, Widening Conunittee petition the County Commissioners for the County ofMiddle- sex to hay out and relocate North Beacon Street, in Watertown on the lines outlined in this report. 2. That the North Beacon Street Widening Cc nunittee consider the inatter of c=pleting the widening of Arsenal Street from Beacon Square to Irving Street, estimate the cost of the same, and report thereon at a latc r, naceting. Your Conunittee tales this opportunity to acknowledge and express appreciation of the valuable services and assistance rendered this Committee by Wiliimn H. Lucas, George Frederick Robinson and William F. Ross, whose ter-ns of office as Select- men expired March (i, 191 f_i. Respectfully submitted, J )HN A. COLLINS, CUR'I"IS W.

RBCORD of TOWN 'MEETINGS 1�3 Article L. To hear the report of any corn nittee heretofore appoilzted and act~ thereon. Committee on Hawkers and Peddlers.' By-Laws reported that by--la,.vs would be presented for adoption under Article 16. Report of the Finance Comm ttee, October 30, 1916. To the Citizens of ViTat rtown: The warrant for this Town iNfeeting and the requests of department heads call for an unusual number of transfers and appropriations for this period of the year. The policy of the Town in recent years, shaped largely by ycnir Finance Corrt- =ttce, has been to lay out the financial prograin for the year at the Annual 1NIect ng and to discourage, as far as possible, additional appropriations and the consideration of new projects at later meetings. Every appropriation rna.de at the Annual ` - Mecting is most caxefu]ly considered, not only in its hearing upon the work of the department, board or official charged with its expendiwre, but in its relation to the whole f neial scheme of the Town. Seldom, if ever, can it be said after the Toren Meeting has acted, that any department or hoard is without sufficient f mds to do its work properly unless something most extraordinary or unforeseen should develop, Moreover, the appropriations of the past feel }rears, at least, ha'Tc been libural in the extreme. The success of our experiment in government will be measured largely by the fidelity with which we adhere to a Exed, well- defined, safe and sane finwicial policy. We believe that: the line along which -%ve have shiven Go direct the Tcv 's finances is in accord with this principle. A most important feature of this policy- is the requirement that departinents shall from Annual Meeting to Annual Meet- ing live within the appropriations provided. If department heads can be made to understand that the Town is going to insist upon a strict adherence to this policy and that it will loaf~Nvith a stern eye upon disobedience, either in letter or spirit, of the by-Jaw which forbids the incurring of indebtedness in excess of the appropriations, a -ray gill be Mound to keep within them. 184 WATER7'OWN TOWN REPORT At this t'IMC we realize that same sit=tions liaave arisen lccaliy, as elsewhere, which could scarcely have been foreseen or anticipated. We are, therefore, analdiig reeminnenda.t`ins which in soave instmaces involve a vary liberal constrrcticu of our own al-mounced }policy. In doing so, ho-ivever, we feel compelled to sound a friendly note of warning to all who are charged with the expenditure of the To wrn's money. Ahuse of the Town's liberality must inevitably lead to the adoption of a hzu-cl-and-fast policy salon[; the suggested line which woldd admit of no exception and the violation of which might be visited with some drastic penalty. Our Town is expericnoing a g-reat. growth and our financial polio-y must expand and develop Nvith it, but it must be along lines that arse basically sound, as well as just. _ Report of the North Beacom Street "widening Con=aittee. In accordance-with vote passed at Town Mee n.f;held March 22, 1016, the North Beacon Street Widening Committee peti- tioned the Cotmt;y Conunissioners for the C(aurity of Middlesex to lay out and reloclatc North Beacon. Street in the Town of AVa.t artown. Under date of September 'fit;, 1)16, the County Commissioners returned an circler that the inhabitants of Watertown shall, on or before-January- 1, 1919, lay open, construct and complete North Beacon Street in accordaanou with a plan on file in their office, and aa, copy[ of the order on file with the Town Clerk is appended and made a Dart of this report. The County Crmirnissioners' order was supplemented hater by a letter to your Committee, stating that the +Cormmssioners t elicti c the sum of $20,000 will be a fair aanount for the County w ras"mane tow—and the cost of the widening, cite., of North Beacon Street, and that an order to this effect would probably be made upon Commissioner Cutting's return from vacation, Such an order will be very gratifying; to your Committee, and. -we think also to every citizen of Watertmvn. The widening ordered is M accordance with a plan prepared. bye Mr. Wilbur F. Learned, Tarn ]Engineer, and recommended by this Committee in its report to the Anntaal To-%v°n Meeting �: in :'March, 191 16, and adopted by the Tmvn. This plan.provides ow , RP-CORD OF TOWN NIFE-TINGS 185 for a street 2 feet in width, the roadway to be 50 feet N4ride and the side%valk-,; 8 feet wide.

On account of the pnrc c nt condition of the Boston Ele- vated Railway Company's finances, and pending; possible relief being prol-tided by the next General Court, the question of double-tracking the street is unsettled. The; War Depaartziimt officials have: approved the plan of widening where North Beacon Street crosses goverament land, WATERTOWN TOWN PX-FORT and also have indicated, by letter, thcir ,%rillingmess to grant a license to cross the government laud with the widened street, lay the necessary drains, cte. Your Committee, therefore, makes the following recominen- dations; (1) Ina—much. as the season is too late for construetion work, and that several inontlis may be taken for investigation of titles and making transfers of property necessary for the widen- ing, we recommead the appropriation of a suni sufficient to pay the 1wid daniages and incidentai expense-, co"111-3'eted there- with. (2) That tllc United Stzttes Government be pctitioned for the necessary license or right-of-way over goveranient land.

ASSESSORS' REPORT. We the undersigned, Assessors of Taxes, respectfully submit our report of the work of the department for the year 1916. The total increase in valuation for the year was „$1,22,192, of which 81,146,050 is on real estate, and$3 6,142 is on personal estate. The grawth of the Town is far above normal, and in 1.916 otLr boobs have I)= duplicated, a rcciairezneut of the Com- monweedth; the addition of the Betterment Act necessitated the placing of the real and personal estate, inoth,, and better- ment tax onsame hill, all the work being done in this departinent; we have also had many large tracts of hand and numerous small ones to subdivide, recluiiing the iss-u n- of � ncw and separated bills, which, A�rth taking of poll tares and the ad(liticanal checking of the women's voting list increase, requiring a large amount of time, we filed the office overtaxed. The inquhies for infornmtiarh on various subic'ets are l ro-wing rapidly, and as -we wish to co-operate with the public in the demand, thcy must be taken care of, as well. In order to meet the requirements of the above-mentioned mereases of the past few years, and the large building develop- ments, we ivould recommend tie Assessors bf-ng placed on a permanent basis, which we believe would well repay tlhc an taunt expended for salary. We would reccm end that the polls also be taken by th-- Police Department. We also wish to call the attention of the citizens to Chapter 251), Acts of 1914, relatiag to the New In- coine Tax Law, which demands the filing of statement of Tartggble Estate. Taxes Levied.

The number of families aided this year thrcugh this Depart- ment is less than that of -the previous year. The Moth=' Aid vHII partially account for this decrease. The whole number of cases aided in the Outside Department is 84, of which 13 have nin the entire year and are now oil the books.

This alone brings many complications in regard to bills, and the office force needs to be verr,F efficient. Mothers' Aid Department. This is aid given weekly to Tnothers Mth dependent children under fourteen years of age (Cluipt:er 763, Acts of 1913). Many who in times past would have received temporary aid, have now -availed themselvcs of this aid, and the work of this Department is rapidly increuhig. '!",e-nty-two ftunilics have ruccivcd aid during the year; sip otl crs have applied but proved not iligible. Sc:vcn cases have: received aid tli.e entire ycar of 52 weelcs; 3 cases from 40 to .50 weeks; fi eases frorn 30 to 40 weeks; 2 rnseg from 20 to 30 weeks, 4 cases less than 10 weeks. Of this number sevcn new cwses wore atided this year which will probably be of long cant liva;nce. Oflier cases are now, pending an investigation to Drove a WZLt,crt r W11 settlement.

Gemleinen: The Playground Commission herewith subrrlits its second annual report of thy; work coming under its charge, The Commission met Aril 0, 191f), and organized its fol- lows: Patrick I-T. O'Halloran, Chairman, Edgar A. Locke, Sccretaryy. The playgrounds -,vere opened this year July 5 and closed August 9. The bathing reach opened July 5 aild closed. September 6. This year the work has been under the supervision of Henry dolt, jr., who is also physical instructor in charge of the schools of the Town. Before toniing to Watertown, Mr. lVielt had wide experience in playground work, having installed the play- ground sk,stern iI3 Webster, Massachusetts, and hav-mg had experience in 'Nlo vich, Connecticut, and Springfield, Massa- chusetts, as supervisor of plavil,rou-nds. The Conurdssiext is pleased with the success of the work this year under Mr. Wielt's supervision. The <atten(hance has increased i-narkedly, although no figures are available to the Commission for the previous ycar's attendance. The, childr n enjoyed their work thrmighout the summer to a much greater degree than previously. The ap- paratus has been increased in ra substantial m.,~uara.er, and at a very madenate expense, and the whole work of the playgrounds and bathing beach carried on under Mr. 'ielt's supen ision with absolutely. no friction, and with the greatest advantage to the children. The Conimission has maintained two play- grounds and a ba.tlting heath, one playground being located at: the Coolidge School at the East end, and the other at Salton- stall Dark In the centre of the Town. The bathing betxh is at a point oix the river bank, off the Charles River Boulevard, at the rear of the Perldns Institution. The playground at the East end, kno� n as the Lincoln House playground, 11 been discontin-aed by the Cenunission far the rea.s011 that it felt that the playground at the Coolidge School would take card of 404 REPORT OF PLA.YOROUND COMMISSION 405 the needs of the East end of the Town, and particularly in view of the fcact that there are other districts where these: are no pl av-rounds. There is at present no playground on the South ;ide of the river„ none in the North district; and the residents of the Bemis district have petitioTied the. Coirtmission to es- tablish ra pla-y��round there. There ought to be in each one of these districts a playg*rmtnd, and the Commission is jai-mious to maintain then as soon as the appropriation. and equipinent will enable it to do so. This year a beaching force of six teachers and a supervisor has been employed., four {at the playgrvuxads and two A the but Ling beaches. New apparatus has been added at the r,,ast end playground at an expense of abouL $16S. This is practically- a duplicate of the apparatus at Saltonstall Park. This is the first year in which full records of the attendance. at the, l laygrounds have been kept. Attendance at bathing ])each, 8022; at Saltonstall Park, 7600; at Coolidge,School, U345. Bathing Beach. The records show„ that the a.ttcradance at the bathing beach this year has beta good, of which about one- third were females. These figures, however, cover only the time (luring whieb Mr. Ostridge, the life guard, was on duty. The fitn res Mould lea:much larger if they included all these who used the privilcges of the hnthing beach during the mornings and evenings l)cfore -and after the ILtard was on duty, of which tines no records are a-vailable. The Canunission wishes to give special praise zmd thanks to the guard, Mr. Charles L. Ostridge, for his general efficiency, and particularly for his condtuct can July 28 in saving the life of a boy „awned Albert Doyle. The ff'acts of this case are as fol- lo%vs: just as Mr. Ostridge was abort to leave the battling beach he noticed a pair of water whigs in the rives', floating, down. strewn. There eras no boy in sight. Immediately It1r. Ostridge pulled off his coat, lahunged in, clothes on, swam out to the raft, and found the boy at the bottom. He brought hixn in and resuscitated him. The bathing leach was used mare this year than last by, fe- 4065 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT males, this being due, the Con=i&sion feels, to having a w-cm.-M attendant in charge. The Commission feels that the Town should take some steps looking to the furnishing of a permanent bathhouse for either beach or tank- bathing. A committee already appointed at a previous Town A-lecting is at presant considering the matter. The Playground Comrmssion sincerely hopes that they will report at this annual Towii Mueting a definite plan and that the Town will be as genermis as possible in carr3ring out any recommendation that the committee m8y mUke.

To die Inhabliants of I-Valerlown: The Town Plarniing Board herewith present their third annual report, covering the year ending December 31, 1916, Street Development on Meeting House Hill, In our last report ire pointed to the urgent nemssity of insuring proper future lay-outs of streets on property at present undeveloped. Particular attention was directed to Meeting Hause Hill and a special appropriation of ',,;'-)00 'wa-s asked for making preliminary surveys and plans. Although the full amount was not granted, a topographical survey Avas started this rear and carried as far as the available funds would permit. Fortunately it was possible to cover in reason- able detail the major portion of the area east of Coi=on Street and to deternilne approximately at least the proper location c)f streets as presented in the accompanying sug- :gcsted plan. This plan shows ati approach to the hill from each of the four side-9 -with continuous strects at easy grades_ It provides for developitiont of large lot areas rwiming up to 15,000 or 20,000 square feet and the construction of auxiliary streets to the best advantage. Stich a commanding site should not be left to indiscriminate and com-nonplace treattinent by speculators or pronieteis. Not only inay a 1-nost unsatisfactory layout of streets be the result, but the charautcr of the whole territory inay be so cheapencd as to absolutely provent devc1opment on the lines that are now possible. We, therefore:, urge that the rnost earnest consideration be giv.en to this matter and that steps be taken to insure the location of streets substantially as in- dicated. We further urge the appropriation of a sufficient ,%=n to complete the survey and the plan to cover the area extending west-ward from Conmon Stroet to Carroll Street.

In the year 1013 the Board of Survey established lines fcr the extension of .Acton Street to Rutland Street in the valley lying between 11•-iain and AlVzaltharn Streets, under Section 3 of Chapter 27 2 of the sets of 1900. The Town Field. The Town., at the last annual Town Meetin r having re- ferred to the Planning Board the inatter of building a locker building at the Town 1r icid, we lien to rocommend that no action be taken at the present time. Our reasons arc because Of First. The unfinished condition of the field. Second, The cast of care and ntaintena tive. l lr_ircl. The possibility of the develol-)meat in the near future of an athletic fitkl in the vicinity of the High School. In our consideration of this matter a general survey Nva.s made of the geographical distribution of the homes of these pupils in our schools -tvho probably du or would make the greatest tise of the Town I;ic,-ld. It was at once nianifcst tha.t', most; of theq-n lived at a very considerable distance and 2r2anyr were trtttch nearer to [)resent or contemplated play- grounds. In this Connection we may well refer to thin plans and recom- menclations in onr report of last year regarding the develop- ment: of athletic fields. The "Prawn Field should he extended to give re ntlation areas for football and basebtL]l and be put in suitable condition. Steps should sae taken to insure the ultimate treat7Ticnt of the Cook's Pond area for similar purposes, and, .of course, the lot between the High and Hos-mer Schools should be made to give the greatest opportunity for pla-s► and athletic work.

Acting upon the recommendation of the Roared of Selectmen and the Planning Board, the Tm vi-i at the: last annual Tawrn -Meeting took cic:6011 Mlkh �Vill prC ent the acceptance of streets with nan-es that are likely to cause confusion wit), those already existing. Those Mic> are dcvclo ' g -new ter- M RBPORT OF TOWI1 PLANNING BOARD 411 ritory should note this condition and there by avoid the in- convenience acid possible annoyance of being obliged to change the names, of streets when they are presented for acceptance. The attention of the Board hairing been called to the fact that Adams Avenue as .it preset designated includes not only the portion running straight tip the Bill from School Street, but also the branch extending to Mt. Atiburit .Street, it was recca-iii-needed to the Selectinien that the latter portion be i I iarned Flint Street in honor of David B. Flint, the former owner of the property now known as Sunny Bank Home. Regulations Relating to the Building of Private Streets. At the request of the: Selecti-ren the Planning Board gave much consideration to the pi-cparation of a bar-1aw relating to the building of private streets and made, rucotrimendation of the same to the Board of Select-nien Eor adoption by the Town. The text of same with detailed specifications will be presented to the Town at the Annual Meeting. Special Activities of the Board. By invitation %VC met x�-ith the NeNVLon Planning Board in joint conference to consider the niuttzal interests of Newton and Watertown in proposed highway outlets from the now Charles Ri-ver Parkway on the Newton side of the river. No action was taken but Watertown's interests in the matter were manifest in that connections through Maple, Williams or even Water Street may scinutime require consideration. The Board was represented by a member and by an exhibit of plans at the Fourth Annual Conference of the MassaehU setts, Planning Boards and the first annual in Ling of they Massachusetts Federation of Planning Boards at Springfield, November 23 and 24. We reconiniend an appropriation of $275. for the ensuing year to be expended as follaws.

Our staternents of fa year agn strictly correct :ii7CI COa pletely verified by the results. The: neglect to follow our a.dviec occasioned the necessity of a special tetra, appropriation in the au.tunzll which could lie obtaine(l for use only by thu addi- tion of several thousands of dollar. to our bonded indebtedness. We beg the flown to ireflect iipon the-e things and to act: more judiciously upon this yc!ar's award.

It heeds Tic argumcnt on our parL to show tlntt the policy of issuing new bonds will not conduce to the benefits to whid, the water takers have normal right. These suggestions sermi almost unnecessary and oven trite in face of the figures shown in our financial report whur,611 it should be noted with satisfaction that our income now exceeds by several thousand dollars the total expcndituresi, incl,Aing all appropriations, both rc�mlar and special, the Metropolitan tax, the large paymcnts on bonded indebtedness, interest; in fact, every outhay hy �tic. To%n for this department. Is it rational that the support of other departments should be derived in any deg,,reu from the taxaLion of a part of the con-innmitv and not of the whole, The demand for the complete installation of the mains aiid services on the Foss land and the probable application—which has been made informally — for a very large extension of water supply on the so-called Coolidge Park property, now about to be developed, will require a larger app-ropriation for construe- tion than last year.

The Board of Health hereby sttbmlts to the citizens of the; Town of Watertown its report for the year ending December 3], mmi. The Board mas elected to office at the last 'election. Nfarch ta, 1916, and oq anized as folhjwr,. Chairman, Dr. J. A. Boucher; Clerk, Ezra C. 1-1. Hartford and Thornas F. Kelly. During the year the Bciarcl has held ten regular. or nionthly, meetings, six special mecting-i and several confor'ence�s, As Agent of the Board, Milk ln-,�-pector and Inslxctor of Slaughtering, Charles F Horan was appoinLed, bat resigned liis various positions shortly after. His resignation taking erect July l:i, 1916, E. B. Johnson of Newbur port, a graduate of the DCj-)1rrrmen Of Public Health of Masgachusetts Institute of Technology, was appoiiitted in his placc for t1w balance of the torni. Unfo-rtutiatclrr the Ton was visited by two iuthcr severe epideniies duTing the varly part of the year, the first that of scpLic; born throat, occUUMg in Lhc spring. This disease was traced to the milk coming from Llic dairy of a localomilk dealer. Imixiecliatcly they owner was forbidden to .sell any milk until it was pasto-urived- Examination of gill the cows showed them to be in excellent vonditioli, with the exception of one. 'mis cow, the eaii c of all the trouble, was. disposed of at once. The second t;pidemic, that of diplitheria, occurred d-Lui xg the stun itier and WEcs confiied to the east end of the Town. It was necessary to take severe ineasures in order to stop the spread of the discase. The Board regrets hiving inc-LuTed such heady expense by so doing, but had we not done so it might, have spread overall Grcatc.,r Boston, ilisLead of being confined to ca stnall area in Watertown. After three days, the Board had control of Lho situation and had transferred to thy° hospiLat for treatment seventmn l.ae si Live' cares. Although the neighboring cities and to*,ns had a grmat niauy 4 WATERTf7WN TOWN, REPORT cases of infantile paralysi,-,, the E3oard feels gratified that only two cases appeared iii Watertown, one case resulting fatally. From September to the end of thu year only a few cases of infectious or conta.g ous diseases have been reported. The citizens of the TowTj will find a tabulated report of discases, daiths, ote., its the report of the Agent follov*ing this report. `l"lie Board feels that if certain rccominendations were carried out it would increase the cstliclienc-v of the departn-lent, to wit- A Clerk. Every department ,has the services of a Clerk ` the Street Departitient, the Assesmsors Department, the IN- later Depart- ment, Qtc., and why should the most; important departnaclat of the whole Ter%via:, the Health Department, be neglected just to sate a fcv�, dollars? Plumbing Inspector. The time bas long gone by when the Phunbing Department has had any connection with the; Health Department. It is a branch of the building trade and the fnspector should lie trans- ferred to the Building Dcparttrnmt. Pensions. We believe that tore;, contlint us, faithful service should he reNvarded and the uperintc-ndeiu, of Cemeteries, who has. so well filed this l3osition, lout v Fho now is unable to attend to his duties owing to his physical condition, should be retired With Party Pay. The Board iiislies to express deel) al)l>reciattion to the local physiciaias for their co-o peratiov. It is indeed. a. pleasure to feel that ���henevoroccasioii rcquires the. physicians of this To'%im are always ready, even at: the risk of their m n lives, tea reslaond to an apl)e,- for assistance from the Board. We also arc in- debted to the Police Departmer t for ttlacir officiclit service. J. A. BOUCHI?R, M.D., Cliairnian, EZRA C. H. HARTFORD, Clerk, T. F. rE LLY. REPORT OF THE AGENT OF THE BOARD Or, HEALTH. To the lVaterfami Board of Health. GuWleme-n. I here%iith sub nut the annui I report of the.: Aunt. of the Board of I[Laltli for the year ending December 31, 1916. In conformity with the expressed desire to make- the Town Report a,s sliDft as possible, I have inade the report con,"-'ist largely of coraparative Uables, by the aid of which it is possiblt,r to compam thu results of the work done during 1916 Nvith those of the work done in fon-ror y(-,,Ts. Diuing the year xo have attewlerl to a great maliv coill- pLaints. Thew complaints have been of every sort, the majon tv being complaints abatit imcolleetcd. garbage, dead "Ininialsand filtliv lots. Many. of these nuisances were very complicated, and were dne directly to the rapid growth of the Town. Tlua nitisances t)f this sort will continue to bather iis, and arz likely to increase, canuot be doubted, and we must expect to spend a great deal of time on ,uch work in the future. Our laboratory is rapidly increasing in importalicc. WC are enlarging in botli the scope and the quantity-of work dare, and it is now, in ilay opirdon, om of the most imporumt auivitics of this Board. Our tubcrculosis dispensan- is hampered by fli(, lacIc of f-wids, as well pis by the nearness of other disp nqarit-s, but is, nevextheIcss, SCIT-VinjIt! IU useful purpose. Our record i i i regard to contagious diseases and deaths chrri i ig 1916, while somewhat 111,gher than Vic corresponding record for a yeat PrU%71otts, compares favorably with the records of previ- ousyears. TMsis to be accounte(I for by the fact that we were extremely fortimeate cloning 1913, and is in no way a re-flectI011 upon the work of this Board, which has been, I believe, 'a cl'&fit to the Town The wDrk of the Board in holding dokvn the number of cascs of infantilc paralysis to tN.%-o, w-lifle the part of the State around its suffered frown a severe epidenil c, is Certainly a great credit to the efficiency of the Board. A coim-nuiiity which has a death rate of but 9.6 is to be congratulated. I beEeve that there are two things we need badly in N17. V WATERTO N TOWN REPORT We need a ne-w set of regulations for the quarantine of di.scases. The old regulations are not founded on modem salutary science, and neglect utterly some every important matters. OLIT j rea.tcst; iced, liow ver, is u frill-time clerk. This de- partinent is certainly- one of the most i npartaiit ones in 'roan, and ought to have a clerk like the rest. The amotint of outside Nvork which should be done is sufficient to keep the Agem husy nmrly all his biro, and it is at prescnL impossible for hum to cle-%,ote this amount of time to this work-, as he must be in the office from four to five hours a day. With a clerk to keels the office open, do the comiderable =aunt of clerical work ncces- san,, and assist gcnemlly in the inside work, it w aid d be possible for your Agent to attend mach better to his outside duties, acid to give much looter protection to the Imblic health of Water- toivn.

AN-jut four-fifths cif all the milk sold in Watertown is pasteurized. ai,.d the niilk supply from the producers' and dealers' ,,tandl pint is thus very � goad. I have found, llowc vc r, that in many of the stares the milk is kept in a very -ans:LniLc' r%' manner. Here, I ani con- vinced, is the prlticiI)ILI d.aii er to our comrnuniC}r. It is rigid inspection and control of the sale of milk. as wclI as the storage of it, in stores, Chat is itnpartwit, rather than exhaustive and expex.sive chemical and bacteriological tests. Such work can and should 1-w done by the Agent, in conjune- tion with leis regular inspection duties. l-le can do the work much better than a special milk inspector such as the Tmvn has hired in the. past could, During the year we have had one epidemic which %vas traced to milli. I refer to the severer epidemic of septic Sore throat which visited is during the spring. To niv inind this epidermic was a remarkable demonstration of the fact that mere cleanli- ness and carefulness-,Nrilt not insure safe nn lk, but that pasti�uri- xation only will give security. The. dealer whose mi.11c caused t1lis epidemic tiaras both cleanly and careful, -Lnd had an excellent dairy-. It Nw itinpGssible to tell from the looks of the cow which spread the infc.ctioii that.

Tbc fact that the dealer w,,L.s careful dic1 not prevent the mlUc from, conveying the disease throughout the Town, efficient pasteurization %vould have preventcd it. It is worthy of note that as a result of thisexperic-nce this de ilcr installed a pasteuri- zation plant. 11 12 WATE R:fON%'N TOWN REPORT The work during klic year has been nwsUy, along the lines Stated above. That IS, L11_0 Avork bas been confmcd principally to 1 aspection and control of the sale of the nii1k, and the storage priMuLts to sale, although the dairies werc- visited occasionally and quite a Tiuniber cf analyses were made, The dealers and storekeepers are, as a rats . willing to co-operate Nvith 'Lis. One dealer, who suspected that thc, milk lie was buying was not just as it should be, fished us to aitalyzu it. It Lurned out to be highly diluted with w,.Aer. It is this sort of co-operati(;7i which will cnablc tho Board to keep tq) the standard of our n-d1k supply, and the action of this dualer is to be highly cornnimicicd. "nie work has been vcry successful, and I believe that thcrcr are few Maces indeed of our sizo in this State which have, as grid(] a milk supply. Cis lVaterto-tvn. For the conung year, I ad%risc the contimiance of work alon" the same lines. Orte thing, how-ever, T nuist strongly tirge. BoLh the work- of ri-Hk--inspection and the outside: work- of the Agent have been greatly hindered during the year by the, fact thELt the Board of Ffelafth office has ilo clerk. It is nocossilry to keep the offiec open .ill clay, find this hinders the outdoor work- ,greatly. There is a great aniount of correspondeace, -;vhicli aL t hers to be typew ri t te 11 1)v the A gan t, thus t a k i i i I(, a great dc,il of tinic which cotild he morc prolitably, and should be, spent nn other duties. A Lown the size of Waterkv�vn ought to givc flit- Board of Health a Jerk, and it Is bad shortsightedness when on-. recullocts that, in refusing to do sa, it Handicaps the Agent and sln-iply makes it in-,possible for Min to look after the health of the Town to the best of his ability, With the trcmlndous increase in population w-hich has oc- curred this year, wid which ljids fair to be excecd(,d ncxt year, it is hard to see how the work of the office can be carried on next year without a clerk. It is certain that if the work of milk inspection is to by donu as it should be, th-Ure must be a clerk in the offlec, so that the Agent and Inspector may have more t;rne to sp(�nd on his outside duties.

TO tire .5c1 ooi Cvanwiliee: I hereiN ith, submit my aruival report as Chainnan of the � f;on=ttee: A review of the schools for the year just closed shows them to be in good condition. An cxcQ.1lent standard of work- has been maintained. The increase in the number of pupils has been normal and no pro lt—i {}n that score has faced the Com- mittee, There has been, IaDo-ever, azt unu�-ual itncr ease in the cost of nrnn'ng the schocsl o,,i ing to the increase in cost of tc t.l-.aooks and laboratory supplies and also the materials needed to make. repairs. This has obliged. the Conu ittee for the fu- t time in many years to ask for an addition to its annual ;appropriation. � A number of changes in the persoimel of the tuiching farce have occurred daring the rear cowing to resignations and with- drawals from acti •e service. The most important of these changes are the resignation of-Mr. Randall L. Taylor its principal of the Marshall Spring School and the ivithdra-%vals front the active scrvice of teaching of 11r. Frank IV, A lutttey, principal of the high School, and bliss Mararitha B. Patten, principal of the Francis School, R Mr. Mt.ney's serviec covered a period of nincteen years � and was characterized by pro.rress, thoratr hr ess and devotion ; to Mork, Miss.Fatten is a native of 11-ratertown and a graduate of its :sclaocol4, Her service, as principal and te-achex• covcred a period of forty years, and was characterized by tactfulness, sympathy and to alty- :Hiss Joanna Al. Rilcy, teac:lier in the Marshall Spring School, also Nvithdm-w from active tr_aching after a faithful sQrvlcQ of thirty-eight years. The vacancies la the principa:lships were filled by the fol- lowing electioni: Mr. Charles P. Durell of Hingham to the; Marshall Si)ring School; Mr, Frederick R. "Willard of ,Spring- WATERTMVIN PUBLIC' SCHOOLS field to the High School; Mr. Earl C. Nelson of Arlitigton to- the Francis and Phillips Schools. The school buildings of the Town are for the most part in good condition. While soiree of the older latiddings leave n-rach to be desired when compared with an up-to-date school building, they are nevertheless usable. The wooden build- ings need a coat of paint on the outside. The walls, ceilings, woodivork and Nvilidow sashes in all bLit the newer buildings need painting in order to freshen up the interiors. The heating plants of the Grant, Moser, Low'oll and Mar- shall Spnilig Schools have undergone more or less repairs during the year. These plants have all been in use many years and will need constant rep-airing to keep their in fflicip-tit C(g1ditioll. **pile cost of thesG,, mpairs was large ow-ing to the increase: in cost of 3naterials needed. Other large items under- repairs are the equipping of the Grant School for use and the movilig, sating tip and paiiitiiig of the portable building, The extraordincary growth of the Town presents toy the Cojjj,fljiLLec�, alld the townspeople a problmi as to the; 11OUSIng of school children which cannot be left uzisolvcd. While the growth is largest In the cast section of the Toilet, the cen- tral and tvcst sections are showing a steady �-ruwth which calls for -niore rcKyni. The pcoi)lc in the north section are also asking for a new building r to care of their children. Oise year ago a new b-ailding of u2ti rooms and a hall was opened at the East Entl, and was at once filled by gr-MICS, one to seven. At the Beginning of the present school year, nine months after the opening of the new building, the VartabIe building had to bo moviud onto the lot to take care of the p'is the new building cotild noL acconur a date. The Mar- Z__1 shall Spring and Francis buildiiilgs likewise cannot accoln- inodate the children in their districts. The overflow of the fomier is taken care of at the Girant Sehool, while that of the latter is divided botwoon the Phillij)s and Parker Schools. The district which needs InimediatQ reliel is that covered by the Hosmer School. This is so obvious that it seEms super-Rttous to call attention here to the large nuinber (if divel- ling houses being erecwd in the neighborhood of the school. A very conserv,-Ltive cstlmaw of the number of children of REPORT DP THE CHAIMAN 7 graini-aar school age that will conic in as a result of diis new development is three hundred. In order to house this number in addition to the five hundred or more; pupils now belonging in the Ho,,7mer district a t%vent%,-room building is needed. Your Chairman therefore rccommunds an addition of twelve rooii-Ls to the Hosmer building. This addition should be ready for itse as near September 1, 1917, as possible. The expenditure of an iiiereased ainowit (if money in the department of edu m,, tion for the ensuiii.,; year is called for not onh, in the matter of new buildings, but also in the budget for the admiluistration of the sAools. R Mtn' seem trite to speak herc of the, increase in the cost of living, but however trite it may appear it is nevertheless a fact. "I'lle cost of supplies in nearly every department has increased from 30 to 50 per cent. The increase in liviliff Cxj)cnscs affects those who are in the school service of the Town Just as sericusly and their requests for ail increase in salaries should receive the careful consideration of the Conm-iittee. Resj)ectfully submitted, ADOLPH C. ELY, December 31, 1916. SUPERINTENDEWT'S REPORT, To the Schooi Connnittee: I herewith submit my ninth annual report as Saperintendent of Schools of Watertown. This report is the seventy-ninth of the printed reports of the School Cominittce of Watertoi-%7n. School Accommodations. In my last import I called your attention to the growth of the Toi,.m and the, necds in the various sections.. The Coolicigt-, School, a ten-roorn btii1ding, was completed one year ago at this thuc. At the present Erne the portable building is situated on the Coolidge grounds and all rooms cccupied, making cleven in all. Eiaht rooms at the Husnier ,School are fully occupied ict are housed in the and four roams from the Hosraer distT Phillips building. We have in the Francis building cight rooins, the thli-d-gra de room having more than sixty pupils, so for next year shall need two additional roorr.s for this distiiet. In Suliterrber we opened three rocrns at the Graut Scheel to relici-c ccrgc4ticn in the h1arshall. Spring, Parker and Frands districts. We still hav-v a crowdud condition in the Marshall Spring Schocl, there being sixty-five pupils iii the first gnade.. This will mean LNVO additional rooms needed to acmi-r=cdate pupils fi-cm ihis school. New Principals. At the close of the school year in June, Mr. Fraiik't . �Vhit- ney finished his nineteenth year of collsecutive serviec, ill the Watertown schools and was retired with a ponsion under the prcirisioii of the new la-w relative to ponsions and retirement of teachers. Mr. '"T1dti1ey has been a loyal. finflift-d worker, and. the best wishes of the cornn--unity -o With 11hr ns he 'retires frown public. school service. His successor, Mr. Frederick R. �Villard, was selected from a large. Ji,,t of candidates. Bis cd,11- cation and successful experience .we a A.-NIM011.11 1)]e guarantec SUPERINTENDENT'S RLTIORT that he w-111 prove the right man in the right place, and we be- lieve that his work thus far has given evidence that fie is well fitted for the position to which he has been elected. Mr. R. L. Taylor resigned his position at the Parker and Marshall Spring Schools to take effect February 28 to accept a position at Blackstone. Howmr, before February 28 came lie undcn%,ent a critical operation a L the Newton Hospital, from which he did not recover. A corunittce from the Watertoivri Teachers' Association was appointed to draw up resolutIGII.S. That columittee attended to its ditty and one copy.of the resolu- tions was sent to Mrs. Taylor, one copy was sent to the Water- tow-n Tribime Enterprise, and a third copy was spread upon the records of the Associution. Mr. Charles P. Durell of Hingliam was chosen as Taylor's successor. Mr. Ditrell is a graduate of Bates College and is a nian of several years of successful experience as a teacher and principal. .Miss Tvlarantha B. Patten, principal at the Fraiwis School, and Miss Joanna 1AL1. Riley, fourth-grade teacl-ier at the N-lar- shall Spring School, retired at the close of the school year tinder Vic law relative to pensions and retirement of teachers. Both of these teachers had been in tho service for over forty years, and the influmice which they exerted over their respective schools-was ever inanifest. With the retirement of -Aliss Patten, the Co=nittee voted to place the Fraticis and Phillips Schools tinder one principal. Mr. Earle C. Nelson, formerly of Arlington, was elected to the position. X1r. Nelson is a graduate of Dartmouth College and a teacher and principal of several years of successful experience. Organization of Elementary Schools into Districts. At present our elemeatary schools are organized into three districts with a man as principal in charge of each district. They are as follows Coolidge-Hosmer District, Mr. Putnam principal. Francis-Phillips District, N N.L+:,)a principal. Parker, Grant, Marshall Spring, ]'I Kr. Durcil principal. By this arrangement, the princij)�Lhn are given a larger range of executive work, as well as more schools and children.

The question is frequctztly asked if we should not have military drill in the public schools. At this time the problern of preparedness is so pi-ominont:ly in tlic public mind that en- tl>_ushasts aro here -ind there seizing upon the idea of military drill and iin=cdia.tely propose to put it upon the public schools. Conspicuous authorities fsoun various sources, including Payson Smith, T+Iassac:husetts Commissioner of Educatioa-i, and Dr. Dudley A. Sargent of C ambridgu hav-c spoken with wisdom and emphasis against military training in High Schools and are in fai,or of that; sort of physical trainhig which we now have, in our High School acid which is so necessary a foundation for real military training. It is asserted by most authorities that military drill in schools does not develop those qualities in Youth which prepare them for the struggles of war nor for the struggles of peace. Individual. Teaching. Another phase of this tendency to study and understand the needs and capacities of children is the attc.�inpt, to prevent re- tardation and elimination in all grades. In a compolsory school system where, because of xcasons of expense, pupils are organized into grades and handled in amasses, there is are ap- parent need for a certain amount of h-Ldividual attention and instniction. We have been doing sonic of this hind of j,rorl, in. the Hosmer School under the direction of 1 I ass Howard, This vvnrk should he extended until wNvL, have ati tinassi led teacher for each district. Medical Inspection. In accordance with the public statutes, the Towii mploys physic` s to vis't; the schools gild to perform such duties as are prescribed by law. 'These ditties are mainly concerned ill promoting public Health by keeping such an oversight of cH- dren in school as will prevent or control contagious diseases. The medical inspectors, three in number, are appointcel by the School Crnrmiittec and are responsible to that body. At SUPERINTENDENT 16 REPORT 11 present our physicians are sening under contract. This �ontract requires then to examine all children thoroughly once a year; to visit one school every day; and to visit all schools under their direction orice a week. They are further required to report at the school bul I d ing whenever called by the pri no 1.pal. The efficiency of the medical supervision of the school may fairly be estimated by the fact that contagious diseases have been I-Lept out of the schools to anunus-Lial degree.

As it 1,'/w stands, the fibrar3F is well-nigh useless to us. Con- sideritIg the distance that most of our pupils, live from the Flublic Library and the need of ninny things LI iat only the library can present, I feel. that this deficiency in our school cquipment is a serious one. Whereas $200 would not ui-i any sense of the word put the library on its feet, I ain sure that it could I)e spent so as to -,tj a lon,- way toward maldng it of more practical service to the pupils of the school. Then if this sum could be repeated through a series of years, bi- the course of time we should have a seliool library that would be on a par 711th the rest of the equipment in the building," New Teachers.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. The active gra%vtl-L of the library hascontin-Lied through an- other year, its forty-ninth, The 37200 appropriated by the Tovrn to year ago has bocn spent with the addition of 995 vol- umes added to its stock of books as-id a large number of val- uable periodicals. Of these, periodicals, 3096) have been bound, adding 20.1 -more voltimes. Our United 5tate-9 Go-vernment has given us 192 volumes, and others have given us 103 vol- ,Lui-ies, making an increase of 1581 volurnes in all. By Appen- dix I it Inay be seen that 1926 pamphlets have also been added.. The bidlding and its furnishings and grounds have been kept in r+rder, an ornament and of gr&-tt use in inany ways to the Town. The number of books and periodicals taken out to the homes of the citizens of the Town has increased from 77,05S of last ye-ir to S1,482 this year. The attendance in the build- ing of children and adults has -visibly incrcaod. The doinand for neiv books is much hti;gcr, especially from the pupils of our schools who are looUng for information beyand the limits of their school textbooks, usually -under the instruction and prolupting of their teachers. This is the nattival result of the rapid growth of the Talon in the nninber of its homes, its children, its spi-cading schools, its efficient 1)ody of teachers. The schools cost a large sum of moncY. You spend largely and freely, you cannot do othenNise. The expenses of our gro-wing library c,- I u hell)increasing in a like ratio if-we would do our duty in our State and keep abrcasL wid-i the times. Thcre is one ivay in which the real -resources of the library n might liave been increasedthe e-a sing the past year without inc� g the apparent appropriation for the lit)rary. Allow me to ex- plain: All libraries think it wise in the administration of a library, in order chiefly to make, its books most useful to the large tiurnberOf its readers, to try to shorten the periods which each individual may retain in his own house the exclusive, use 6 LIBRARIAN$G REPORT 7 of any hook. to discaura,',e forgetfulness in its return when no 15 Ionger useful, by imposing a small fine for coach (lay's delay in its rettirn. This fine, nccLssarily small, is generally paid without ob5ection. By experience it is proved that this fine of two cents per day on each book retained beyond the usual limits of tirac. allowcd amounts in a year to more than one hundred and fifty dollars. That the payment even of this small sum should be sometimes really unpleasant, especially if it is IMOWn that it is to be MWELHOWe(I up in the gencral e\- penseq of the Tcrxn, is nDt strange. Bow much more -readily and clicerfully would these little sums be paid, as shown by our earlier experience, if the librarian could say, as lie could fonnerly have done, " This is your contribution to the purchase of new books-" At the close of the year just past there had a-ectimulated quite a little stare of new book--, which had been asked for from til-no to time; these books had been examined and carefully judged, but for want of the small suu-i of one or two hundred dollars had to be returned to the dmlers to the loss of the libnary and the Awaiting readers, for %e never exceed our appropriation in our actual purchases. Why could not the money* which had beers collected in the li- braTtF with sn much difficulty and without expense to any other department of the Town's Avork have been expended where it ;eenuiiigly belonged for the addition of these new I)o,Dk,;? A vote to allo%v the use of thils yearly accumulation would make quite an addition to our new 13ool-S without liTojudice to any other department and nuke this little, irrita- ting fine a pleasure and U blessing. The library has had the generous support of the Tmvn for forty-nine years. It has shown, as far m it considers and uri- derstands the policies and advantages of each ineasure in its behalf, a liberal spirit. With thanks for a long period of kindness in my manage- ment of this librar3r I might with your permission, and With reference to a long series of reports, close this report here. *See the last line of the Statistical Table in Appendix 1, whidi shows that in ti-Le. last eight years it had grjwn to $1210.25, averaging a yearly SLIM of 3151M. WATERTOWN -PL,`BLIC LIBR,9RY Some few pages of statistics have been added to this report from which, with a fear state-mcnts made elsewhere, may he seven the amount of increase of the several funds belonging to this library and the use that is made of their. The Barry and the Fierce funds have been allowed to increase this year by the addition of the interest accumulating to the several funds, The trustees of the Asa Pratt Fund have contributed for the purchase of periodicals for thecoming year the two hun- dred and fifty dollars as originally providcil by direction cif the donor besides the over one lumdred dollars added each year to its capital increase, It may not be renrernbered by some, it may not be known by others who have lately come to Town to reside, that the condition of this gift, as made by Mr, Pratt, provides for this annual increase of something over one Hundred dollars to the basic amount of the fund, while it provides for a regularly increasing addition of five dollars a. year, or rather an ti�ddition of twwTettty-five dollars each period of five years for all time, for the purchase of p rio icals, and which amount now yields tNvo hundred and fifty dollars for the annual supply of periodicals. It is stipulated also that this growing income: closest be expcueled for periodical 11=teraffi e. In fifty years this, it can ca.siiyT be seen, will bu douhle what it was in the beginning. This expenditure leas always been used as an addition to the former regular expenditure for this purpose. The building erected by the Town 'vw,ith the help, to the extent of half its cast, of charitable citizens and funnier residents over thirty years ago, has been quite adequate to the uses of such an institution in this Town. It is now getting congested. Its various roorns are filled., almost crowded, to their 11mit. It will not be long before the natural growth of the library and the rapid increase of the Town will call for addi- tions to its capacity for the stowage of its contents and the proper uses of such an institution. This is a growth which it will be the part of ut sdom to anticipate and in the present adrninistra,tion its viers, of future %vants to make proper- provi- sions.

The daily attendance and the circulation of books in the Children's Department show an ever increasing- hiLcrest on the children's part in corning to the library and enjoy-ing its privileges. The attendance for the year 1016 was, as nearly as one am estimate, 14,317. The, circulation of books for 1916 was 28,667, an increase of .571 valumes over the circula- tion of 1915, which was 2S,096. Fiction was the largest class circulating, The children show great interest In books of travel and history. The science and art books are no small part of each day's circulation. Throughout the year, except during the inondis of Jtme, July,August and September, it has been the librarian's privilege and pleasure to tell stories to about 3.154. children conning twice a week-, sometimes as many as eighty in one a f temoon. Becattse of such large n-unibers, it was decided to have the girls ineet on Tuesday and the boys on Thursday of each week. The circu- lation was largest during those muntlis of story telling, which sliows that one of the 1-nirposus it least of sLory telling in the libran, was accomplished, nainel,--, that of leadim, the way to the best buoL-s by opening the duor a little kvay and allowing the children to look within. After all, the real value of a library is not alone in the number of circulating books, but in the quality of the books read and reread, and enjoyed each tinge. The children come in such crowds as soon as school is over that, In spite of onc's best efforts, inclividual guidance a-M 9careely be auccniplished Nvithout extra belp at these times, and more mischief is accomplished in the order of bcoks on these shelves than could possibly happen in a month's tillic, othenvis-a. I ain glad to hear that in the future I am likely to have an assistant to help serve these greater numbers. We desire to enlar.rge our field of activity and usefulness by visiting the schools ztnd kwuping in touch with the work done there so that to tfie extent of our supply we m*ty in the best way ineet their needs. Far this purpose duplicates of history books seem jacefn.&-try. The great problem as yet unsolved is that of reaching those children who live too far from the library to come very often, 20 WATERTOWN PUBLIC, LIBRART or perhaps at all. We hope to accompligh something along this line during the present year. We certainly extend a Nvarrn Nvcicome to all children. Respectfully submitted, 1vIAR Y" A.
