MASON, President Historicul Society of Water- town. ILFRED A. NORRIS, President Ernst TVaiertozvn Civic ` League. EZRA C. H. HARTFORD, Chairman Board of Hcalth. REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN. The Selectmen herewith submit their report for the year ending December 31, 1917. Reports of the departments under theircharge will be found elsewhere, and are to be considered as details of this report. Streets. For details of work done by the Higliway Department, reference should be made to the report of the Superintendent of Streets. Most of our streets are in excellent condition and no effort should be spared to keep their sv. Arsenal Street, however, is in a very bad condition, and such work as was done was for the purpose of making the lower end safe for tmvrel .during; the winker. This is the inost direct road to the business section of Boston, and owing to the rapid g*roivth of heavy motor trucking, will require a pavemcnt of the inost substantial character. The great expansion of the Arsenal far the pull-mse of making heavy mobile artillery>, which will also greatly augment the amount of heavy travel, has made us feel that the Government should lend its aid in rebuilding the street. In co-operation aith the Mayor of Boston, steps are; being taken to secure, with the assistance of cur Congressman, are appropriation for this pttrl)ose. The widening of School Street has been completed this year. and while the cost slightly- exceeded the appropriation, we wish to poilit out that the estimate conteinplated only building from the entrance to the Sunnvba.nk Homy: to Delmont ;Street. As this was so palpable an error, we decided to begin the work- at TvIount Auburn Street, which necessitated building an Laddi- tionai length of i UU feet or `600 square yards, Ire connection with this work, we wish to tender the thanks of the Selectmen, in behalf of the Town, to illr'. H milt R. Elliott, who so generously gave about eight hundred square feet of his land in order that, the street might be made -L uniform width of fifty feet from Adams Avenue to Belmont Street. 13 14 WATL:rtTowN TOWN REPOPT We congratulate the town upon the resumption of the policy -cif building struts under the Betterment plan. Seventy-five hundred (75011.00) dollars was appropriated ror the work- of constructing Commonvirealth Road and portions of Winsor Avenue and Maplewood Street. They have been completed, leaving a balance of $2460.24 which in our opinion will be ample to build Clyde Road and the unaccepted part of La:ngdon Avenue, petitions for which are now before us. The only new construction which we recommend this year are portions of Nichols Avenue and. Arlington Street, Ir Avenue, Lloyd Road and Clayton Street. Drainage. Including the amount for the brook in East Watertown, 20,689.06 was appropriated for drainage. With this amount there have been 8206 feet laid in Corn nonwealth Road, Winsor Avenue, Irma Avenue, Mt. Auburn, Belmont, Maplewood and. Cypress Streets. Work can the East. Watertown drain is now in progress and will be finished before spring. In addition to this seven catch basins with the connections have been built -on Common Street and paid for out of this appropriation. Ian -connection with the work of widening North Beacon Street, 4300 feet of drain with the necessary catch basins have been built, costmg $10,408.53. A large map of the to,.Nm, similar to the one of our saver system made in 19 15, is being prepared by the Engineering Department which will show the location -of all existing drains and catch basins. We recommend an -appropriation of $5,000 for drainage. Sewers. Including the sewer system in Fossland, 14,730 feet or abmit 2.8 miles of scivers have been Said the past year. To date the .system is 42.38 miles in length, exclusive of house connections and has cost S372,636.30, this is all paid for except $48,500. A section extending from Hovey Street to Knowles Road to accommodate t%,enty houses is much needed and should be built next year. When this is done, no more construction will be needed until a new development starts, which under present .conditions seems unlikely. We recommend an appropriation of $5,000 for 1918. REPORT OF $ELECTIMEN 15 House Connections and Maintenance. Two hundred and fifty-six, (250) house connections having a total length of 10,911 feet, an average cost of 80.597 a foot, have been laid in 1917.. The City of Newton which paid its laborers $2,50 a day ill 1915 thought it worthy of note that $1.00 a font was the cost in that year. With th o exception of the uncompleted houses in la ossland, very few new connections will be required the corning year. To carry out the recommendation made by the Selectmen in 1915, the entire cost of a hawse connection has, since 'March, been paid by the owner. This is in accord with the practice followed in most cities and towns and has saved us over '3.3600 this year alone. NVe recommend an appropriation of $5,000 for 1918. Sidewalks. Thirty thousand one l-trndred and nine square feet or 5,691 linear feet of granol this walks have been laid the past year, Some of our old tar walks have been repaired. In addition, 12,800 .9quare feet or 2560 linear .feet of granalithic -walks have been laid in I+ossland, the entire cost of-which was borne by the owners, as cur appropriation was insufficient to do any work there. All this was dame under inspection by the Town in order that our specifications should be complied with. As, owing to war conditions, very little new work N-vill probably be called for it would seem to be an opportune time to turn out attention to the old sidewalks on our main thoroughfares, some of which are in a lead condition- We recoi=end that S ,000 be appropriated for walks to be used for new construction or repairs to existing walks as in the judgment of the 'Selectmen may he expedient. Street fights, F ifty,seven (57) new lights have been added during the year, the total number now being 531. Soon, after the outbreak of the war, the. Public Safety Committee recommended that our street ,fights burn all night instead of being extiiiguishad at 12.30 a.m. An appropriation of 17100 was Trade for the purpose; this new schedule went into effect May 22nd, and was continued up to January 19, 191S, when with a view to helping coal conservation and to reduce expenses, the Edison Company was ordered to extingmsh all lights at midnight and to light again at 5 a.m., until further notice. By fallowing this plan, we shall save the conning year about 9-00. NVe recommend an appropriation of $14,900 for street lights. Underground Conduits. Following up efforts begun in 1915, the New England Tele- phone Company and the Ddisun electric Illuininating Coinpai�y have been induced to lay conduits for their wires in School Street, between Mt. Auburn and Belmont Streets. The pales and overhead wires will be removed at some future date. The Telephone Ccnnpany> has also laid its conduit an North Beacon Street and removed its overhead wires and pales. The Edison Company had built its conduit in North I1eacon Street from the near bridge to School Street, but owing to ivar conditions was obliged to discontinue work temporarily. We expect them to complete the w rk in 1915. Ashes and Paper The rapid growth of the Tcm,,,ii is rcllcctt! 1 in the rising cost of collecting Ashes and Paper. In 1915, the labor cost in this department was ti 100; in 1916, it was 9.471.3 and in 1917 — 573i, an increase in two years of �1( i 7 or 40 per cent. This is not the 'whole story, liowever, for during the last two yc&ars, the cast of the tc,alns has been charged to Stable kl.imtenance. If this expense be added to the: labor cast, the actual cost of collecting ashes in 1910 was 84(i: . A'Vc believe that a more progressive inethocl for cloing this work should be adopted, and, therefore, recommend the purchase of a motor truck, to be used for collecting ashes on the longer routes and, to haul gravel and stone for the: Street Department. Trucks are now being used for collecting in Newton, Brook-line and Walthgain, and have proved to be money savers. In place of inaintaining seven misightly dumps, the number could be reduced to four, one of-k%,hich should be; at the lower end of ;"arsenal Street on the northerly side. ley doing this, the narrow roadway at this place can be xidened at a compa.TativelyF small expense so REPORT OF SELECTMEN 17 that when the new bridge. sliall have been guilt, the widened roadway will be ready for surfacing. Almshouse. The im-nates am well cared for and contented. Considerable improvement has been made by the reconstruction of the d:ive- way with bi.turrdnous macadam. Prompt attention .should be given to the roof of the house, i�vhich is in a lead condition, and the Board reconunends that it be slated, to prevent further dam agc+ to the interior. Police. No complaint of gambling or illegal liquor selling has been received by the police during the year, which is good eNridence that the law is behig enforced and helps to Tnake our munici- pality one of the hest in which to live. With the addition of three patrolmen in May. the three-shift plan was inaugurated with satisfactory results. Our subse- quent loss to the A.rniy and Ns -vy, of patrolmen Thompson, Searle, and James Igoe, leaves the department with the same number of patrolmen as at the heginninff of the year; and has delayed the carrying out of some contemplated improvements in .service, until the return or temporary replacement of these officers. The requesL of Patrolman johii F. Dtivyer for retirement on a pension was received and granted, on September Sth: he had served in the department for twenty-seven years. The vacancy thus created was filled on Deccinb+er 1st by the ap- pointment of Louis Perkins. The increased number of arrests was largely due to a per- sistent effort to curb the reckless automobile operator. The Fire Department. The work of this department, has been very efficient durir"g the last vear, and well deserves the con-unendation of the Board of Sclect»ien, and the citizens of the whale Town. A new piece of metar apparatus has been added to the cquip- ment and assigned to Station 2. It is a conihination pump and chemical proposition and has greatly added to our efficient department. WATERT{?WN TOWN REPORT Like the other departments of the Town, this one has lost some of the permanent men, temporarily we hope, through enlistment in the ser%rice of the United States. The morale of the departirient is excellent, great credit is due Chief Sohn W. C]'HrJarn, through his suggestion and efforts; the Town has adopted a law requiring all receptacles for ashes to be of iron or some ether non-coinbustible ma- terial. Seventy,-five per cent of our fires last y+e4�r Nvere traced to use of wood receptacles. We hope the fire lasses the coining year will he greatly reduced. e «-rish to commend the policy of the Town in increasing the permanent, and decreasing the call force. This policy should be continued until our whale farce is permanent. Outside Aid and Mothers' Aid Departments. The= departnzcnts have been well administered by our Almoner, Mr. Herry W. Harvard. It has been a tryring year, particularly in the Outside Aid Department, owing to the high cast of living and-,var conditions. It has been the desire of the Board to make 'these depart- ments.. what the name implies, aids to citizens, to tide over trying difficulties :and help people to become self-supporting, not to create dependent people. lVe think this is being ae- complished by the departinents. Building Inspection, The work in this d€partment has been decreased during the latter part of the year, awing to the great increase in cost of building materials, and the inability- to secure them. � This condition Will be only temporary, and will give the department time to study conditions, and rccommend to the Board, changes and additions to mu itc en�plete andantiquated building regulations. Town. Hall. Owing to the untiring efforts of our janitor, everything has run srrnoothly during the past year in this departirnent which has been more than over taxed Nvith war and To-wn business. The Exemption Board during all its sessions including the draft, exarnination and questionnaire periods had free use of the E-POIZ r OP SEL2CTn FN lfl whole building, also Company C., llth Regiment, Massachu- setts State Guard havoc used the hall two nights a week for drills and a, large ruoin on the gallery floor has l)ccn filled up and is tised as an armor, by them. The Liberty Loan, Red Cross and Y. M. C. A., slicc:ia,l com- inittee were granted free use of the hall for all their public meetings. This caused abundance of extra work for our janitor A-It. John F. Kiley, who has performed the swine with- jut any extra cornponsatiDn. Wc Nish at this time to thank him for his faithful service and his example of true Patriotism. Town Clerk. In addition to the large deni nds already made upon the Town Clerk, owing to the rapid growth of the Toxn, the -war has theist many additional burdcns upon, him. Especially in connection with the Public Safety Comi-iittee, the registra- tion for the draft, the exemption Board, and, more recently, the questionnaire, the burdens of the three latter were prac- tically borne ley him alone. I-Ie has met each ilew situation with characteristic tact and e crpr. Eire herewith record our appreciation of his work and recommend a substantial reward for his services. In ma.ldng our recornineadations for the coming year, we have endeavored to be mindful of the fact that our country. is at war, that our resources miv t be carefully conserved for that purpose, and that our expenses must he reduced wherever possible without impairing the efficiency of any department. Certain increases in sabaries, however, cannot be avoided, and in all fairness, should be panted ��ithout hesitation. It- should be home in mind, hDwevur, that any mono- that is appropriated at the Annual Mcaul ig caimot be borrowed, but must be raised by taxation, as the needs of the G verriment, are so great that it proposes to forbid all inunicip,al loans except J or actual emergencies.

I have: drafted several by-laws and regulatiolis and among the farmer, drew the ley-laws for the regulation of the so-celled " jitney bus." I have inet with the Board of Selectmen and with committees of the Town and ha%,e en- -deavored to assist whenever called upon. 1n all instances when requested I have drafted hills for the Legislature and haave attended at all legislative hearings in behalf of the ToIN-D. Many deeds, releases, easements and other like documents have been drafted by nie. ,All trustee processes and land court platters have been attended to by me, During the year the action of Jahn J. horde for $10,000 damages dire to III- juries received froin the ca-ving of a trench on 'Nichols Avenue was tried .and resulted in a non-suit of the plaintiff by order of Court.

The amount called for by the various Tawas Departments for the expenses of the clweat year and the request-, for special appropriations as called for in the 1177 grant for the Annual Town '.,\Jeeting total nine hundred twenty-five thcusarid, nine hundred one and 15-100 (925,001.15) dollars. We recommend appropriations amounting to seven hundred thirty-three thousand, two hundred sixty-eight and 99-100 (733,268,99) dollars of which seventy-eight thousand. (78,000) dollars may be borrowed. OiLr estimate of the amount to be messed is based on the, f ollor,%ring figures, viz.; Balances Available. Unexpended balances, $6,6 i 4.66 Premium accounts, 1,921.55 Treasurys receipts, 33,3444 31 Betterment Accounts, 1,000.40 -- 12,940.52 Estimated Receipts.

The 19M valuation of the Tm%m was twenw-une million, three hundred. one thousand, eight hundred ninety-two (21,:H)l,- 592.00) dollars. Assuming a valuation in 1017 of twenty- two million (2,O00,000) dollars would give: a tax rate of ap- pra:eimately twenty-one (21) dollars. The adoption of a three (3) dollar per day schedule for laborers by the Town this year would still further increase the rate provably S0.35, .An equitable revaluation of the Town might deci-case this 901ne- wbk1t and do nobody an injustice. East End Devejopment. The extraordinary de;velopmmt in the last End of the Town is respoi-isibile in a laxge measure for the increase in appropriations over last `ear's budget. It has ineant sciverage, drainage, water, school, police and fire problerns of large: dimensions calling for inimediate otutkiys. Something w ll be gained by the Ta,.vn in increased valuation by reason of this development but the major hart of the increase Neill not accrue to the Town for snore than a vear yet while the; Town's 11 1'est-- mernt Ynust be made now.. I low profitable that investment will be the future insist deterinine. "i%ican-%,k=hile tliere is proitlise of still other development can a large of wide areas of at present unilnpro-Ted territory. lire have no %Nish at any time to discourage rational growth. However eve~ cannot be un- 1n'11tdful of the biLrden our present 1nethod of financing public improvements in new areas is imposing upon us. We do far more than any of our neighboring ng municipalities in the 1natlte r of construction of new streets, gcwcrs, drains and extension of water mains. We have: al mays hesitated about 1 caking a cht.nge to a less liberal policy while old, sparsely built up sections of the Town have l�ccn without these iinprovenlents although sharing the cast of such development in snore favored localities. But a modification of o11r excucWcli ngrly paternal altitude teward:s these projects insist soon be inatigur ated, The first. step might very well be the plain expression of our feeling as the duly constituted advisers of the: `rown Me cting FINANCE CONIMI TEE REPORT 29 in the matter of its financial problems that in the future streets, seNvers and drains in undevelolicd areas should not he con- structed by the Torn until such time as the financial condition of the Town will permit„ and then only after the character of the development has been sufficiently estahlishcd to indicate that it is not going to be altogether unprofitable to the Town as a business 1 rolsositialr. The adoption of such a policy might hinder specnla,tive development of the bind that: considers only the profit of its promoters but it need not affect healthful, stimulating growth. Debt and Borrowing Capacity.

The balance of four hundred seventy-four thousand, seven hundred twenty-five (474,725) dollars is the arnou"t owed within the stat.tutori ' ].units of indebtedness. 'lle debt limit T three (3) per cent of the mean valuation for L.he last three rears, less aba.trenient —is fire hundred eighty.-seven thousand, live hundred eighteen (587,518) dollars. On Jzxtivary 1, 1917, our borroNvin9 cal)acity was S 112,703. This will be increased April 1, 1,417 to S.'124,793; May 1, 1917, to $162,018; July 1, 19.17, to S181,018, It is never grad policy to exhaust the 'borrowing capacity. A safe margin should always be left for emergencies. If the appropriations for North Beacoa Street Widening, Nigh School Land, Drainage, and Street Betterments should be borrowed, seventy-eight thousand (78,000) dollars %till be needed at unce, 30 WATERTC3WN TOWN REPORT lcaving a. margin of only thirty-four thousand, seven hun i-ed ninety-three (34,793) dollars wit.il April 1. If the Hosmer Schaal addition is to be built this year in accordance -Mth the suggestion of the School Con-unittee the money :should be borrowed outside the debt limit. This is in line. N�rith a well established policy and leaves the "Town free to accomplish other desirable public improvements within our debt limit, Our tonal debt at this mor ent, both inside and outside the debt linalt is, as indicated, 07,i`95 on a valuation of $21,:300,- 000. In 1997, the year before the establishment of the Finance Committee, our total, debt was '_;792, 00 on a valuation of $12,700,000. In ether words in 1907 our debt was 0.5 percent of our valuation while in 1917 it has been reduced to #3.7 per cent, which ought to prove the wisdorn of a definite policy and prudent oversight of appropi-iations. Of the asnoimt rcTon-unended for appropriations this ;Tear $733,26 .99—almost exa.ctl3• 1-3—$241,156.09 is embraced in the items of State and Coiuity Taxes and Toi�m Debt and Interest and snore than $100,000 in addition is expended in permanent improveirients. Only about one-half is for current expenses. Lettering Autos, The Committee feels it incumbent again to recorm-nend to the Town that, all auto apparatus, wagons, etc., owned by the ' 'Town be plainly lettered in a conspicuous place with the Morels " 'Town of Watertown," axed the name of the department added. A similar recommendation was made three gears ago but it has not been scrupulously observed. Failure to do so can only bring upon the department criticisin of a kind that it is desirable to avoid. Conclusion. In conclusion we wish to say that all requests for appropria- tions have been most carefully and fully considered and the recon-nnendations, we believe, are liberal to a faalt. Besides FINANCE CU:Ni.NliT'TEE RL•PORT 131 the amounts approved there are balances :iyailable for use in several spcci-,Ll appropriations,,v.iZ.: Fossland sewer (approximate), $8,300.00 FoWand water (approximate.), i 50-00 North Beacon Street (approximate.), ,000.()0 School Street. (approximate), 8,500.00 There should he ample work there during the year for every citizen Nvho sock-, Town employment and there is not a single department that should need to ask for an additional dollar during the yea` to performs its work with the very highest passible efficiency. We earnestly ask therefore, that the appropriations be granted as recvnnnelided.

The Board of Health submits herenith to the citizens of The Tmrn of Watertoum,its report for the y ,r ending December 31, 191 . There was no cliapge in the persortmel of the Beard last year. Dr. J. A. Boucher was re-elected for tlzee rears at the last annual election in !Vlarch, 191 T. The orga.nl7ation for the year was, Chairman, Ezra C. H. I-fa.rtford, Clerk, Dr. J. A. Boucher. The Board re-appointed E. B. Johnson, Agent of the Board, Milk Inspector and Inspector of Slaughterimg. He resigned his positions in June. Coming as it dill at that tine of the year, the .Board -=ere of-the opinion there would be no difficulty in secur- ing a capable man to fill the vacancy. It proved to be the case in the appointment of A. D. Hiller of Marion, M4s. His stay with us was rather short as he c-,,,as draftedi,1to the �irr�iy in October. Since then the Board have been unable to find a suit- able man to act as agent on account of the fact that the United States Government is taking every man who has the Slightest laaowled;e of Public Health work and sanitary engineering. Therefore, since Mr. Hiller's depa7ture, such work as investi- gation of comphaints, nuisances, inspections, and clerical has been done by members of the Department, and all bacterio- logical work has been done by the Mate Departments of Health. . Owing to the death of 1'hflr. Jacob C. Safford, who sen,ed us faithfully for many years as Superintendent of Cemeteries, the .Board were obliged to make a new appointment,and Mr. Frank R. Shorey was elected to fill the vacancy. The citizens of the Town will find a tabulated report of dis- eases, deaths, etc., in the report of the Agent following this report. 1 ZRA C. H.

A walk leading fro n Main Street to the South gate is very much needed for the convenience of those ;ding to the cemetery from the car Eric. The entrance gates to Ridgclav-n Cemetery, having been built of southern pine, have ratted very badly, and are falling; to pieces, and should be replaced at an early date with others, made of a more lasting material. During the ycar many of the graves in Common Street Ceme- tery have been raised, and the burial stories straightened and put in a good and Meat condition, adding greatly to the appear- ance of the grounds. The recompilation of the card, indexes of lot owners, and in- terments, brings our books into wore complete form and proves a valuable addition fOr ready Teferenu-e. Respectfully subn-dtte d, FILLN K R. ST3OREY, S,.per viendent of Cepneteries. REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN. To the HonDrcable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen. I herewith present for your consideration my report as Town physician for the year en+diaig December 31, 1917. During the year, the number of calls for aid which repaired investigation have increased. Cases in absolute need have re- ceived aid. Those requiring hospital treatment have been sent to hospitals where they have received the best of care for the nlir=um expense. Our hospital bills -may seem large, but comparing them with bills of other cities and towns whose population is about the size of Watertoi%m, I fined in several instances the expense of caring for our eases is much less than towns of equal size. Watertown needs a General Hospital, one up-to-date, in a wilding erected for the purpose upon land which belongs to the Tovm. I Dope the people of Wi atertmvn will co-operate with the ]doctors' Chub in gathering funds for the jjurpose. Our soldier boys will be retia rning before long and will need to be taken cafe of at borne. Let us get to work and have a hospital. I ivi.sh to give a great deal of credit to our district nuxses for the good care and willing help in many ways which they have given when called upon. Thanks are tlue: Lhe physicians of Watertown in reudering prompt aid in emergency cases when I could not be reached. Innu►tes at the Almshouse have been so well cared for that they have been very little trouble to me. Respectfully submitted, C. S. E ER,S N, I1i.D. 61 REPORT OF VETERINARUN. Watertown, Mass.

Your Committee respcect.fully presents the following 7.cgress ;report upon the reconstruction and widening of North Beacon street, While the actual construction work has not progressed as far as anticipated in the Committee's report to the Tourn Meeting in March, 1917, navertheless, considering the unsettled condi- tions due to the-vva,r, satisfactory w ark has been accomplished. In January, 1917,, -our Committee, through Representa.tiye Wesley E. Mon1 , caused to be presented in the Legislature a bill asking for the sum of $40,000 to prop ide grannite block surfacing, on concrete base, covering that portion of North Beacom Street lyiiag between Schaal Street and the new bridge. The bill was reported upon favorably by the Connnnuttee on Metropolitan'Aflairs, passed the Senate, and was them referred to tlnc House'"t.-Ly°s azld Me�iiis Committee. War%%pith Germany having been declared, and appropriations of money for rather than; Near purposes being deeaned unwise, our bill, with all ethers of similar nature, was denied. After due consideration of °proposah, received from several contractors, ranging from $14,000 to $24,000, coyerixng excava- tion and removal of trees, and estimates furnished by the Town Engineer, the Committee decided to proceed with the reco a- struction under the direction of the Highway Department, . esnTloying Tarn workmen. Actual excavation .and recotn- stmction did not begin until September 12. Prior to this, honxever, the Com=ittee had caused to be sold and removed the houses takers by the Town, other houses set back, and fences and trees removed. All daa-na.ge awards have been adjusted and settled, «rith the exception of that of the O'Connell Real Estate Company, who clam a damage greatly in excess of the amount a-warded by the County Commissioners, and this case may have to be brought to the court for final settlement. 63 64 1V:'1TERTOtii N TOWN REPORT The following is a brief stunanary of the work accomplished: Damage awards Adjusted, -1-1 IIouses torn down, 6 Houses mewed back, 'frees and stinnps removed, 129 Drainage, pipe laid, trunk drain, 4,300 ft.

Between September 12 acid becceniber 12 1.2,000 cu. yds. of emcavation ivere taken out, transported an average distance of Yj mile and deposited as filling for the widened street along the Charles Ri-,.Tr embank- ment, at an average cost of about $2 cents per cubic yard. This excellent result was accomplished by the use of an electric shovel for digging and automobile trucIcs for remo dkg the exca- vation, and the co-operation of the 'Tmkm workmen.

Conclusion. In cmcluding this report I desire to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, for advice and assistance, the judges of the court, Hanomble Samuel P. Abbott, and Hon. Michael J. ConnollY, the Clerk of the Court, Mr. William J.

To the Honorahic Board of Selectmen: I herewith submit the following report for the Fire Depart- ment for the fiscal year endiiig December 31, 1017- Manual Force. The total n-Lembership December .-'11 is thirty inen classed as follows: One permanent chief, one perinanent captain, one permanent en,713cer of steamer, thirteen pen-nanent privates assi&,ned to companies (four additional jDcrinanent men were appointed during 10471, one call §token. tliirteen call ladder -1, and hosemen- total, sixteen Imm anent and fourteen call men. The various pieces of apparatus are all in good condition, the new combination added chining the year will add materially to the efficiency of the department ,,,n(j permits one piece of apparatus to remain in quarters, on the first alarm, except to facton, boxes, to ivhich all apparatus rcsj)onds. IVI-dlc the apparatus left hi quarters at the Central Station Neill be son-Le- what undennanned and in consideration of'demand s"for in- creased appmpriations froin all departments next yca-f, and also that construction has Lallen off during I , the present year, I have decided not to ask for any. additional mom, but to do our best N�ritli the apparatus and nimiber of Then we now have for the coming year. Fifteen hundred feet of hose must be purchased the commig year to replace diserirded or unfit hose, and to pen-nit for a reload for the new cornbination, for which one thousand feet was purchased. Dunhlg the year an unusual amotint of hose wits discarded, for after the Union Carpet Lining fire JuIv 27, all hose was tcste6 and fifteen hundred feet Nvas found to be unfit for further fire service, some of which was turned over to the I-Jighway Department.. 71 72 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Fires and Alarms. During the near the department has answered a total of 131 alarms, G7 bell, and 64 still alarms.

James 1-1. L, Coon, now deceased, that the committee recoinrnended the motorizing of the apparatus of the department. This w-as followed by a more complete report Avhich was printed in the Town Report of 1915 together with the report and reconimen&tions of John S. Caldvvell, engineer for the New Hngha'nd Insurance Exchange. Of these recom- me ndationg, your committee have given special consideration to the following: Motorizing the Fire Apparatus, Replacing cement lined mains, Increasing the pens anent force,, The installing of new. Fire and Police Signal Apparatus III fireproof quarters, The fire apparat-Lis has been partially motorized by,the sub- stitution of a motor hook and ladder track for the horse-drawn truck, and the addition of a Chief's car, a triple combination pump, hose, and chemical, and a small motor chernical. This has been accomplished -at = expense of approxinia tely S 14,00 0. About twenty-nine thousand feet of cement lined pipe have been replaced at an approximate expense of tvventy--four thou&-Ind dollars. The permanent force has been increased from ten to seventeen members. The nev., signal systems for the Police and Fire Departments have not been installed. This leaves very- much to be desired in the way of improve- ments, There are, ho-wever, inany things which, under ordinary* circumstances, Nve would think indispensable, but which we must do without for the present, because of the great burdens the town may he called upon to assume as our part in Winning the great war. Nevertheless, there are noire things which the town must not neglect. Under war conditions, it is of increased importance that our industries (nearly all of them producing 74 REPORT Ot� COMMITTRE ON MR-E PROT17CTION 75 government goods) should be protected. With this iil mind, as well as the protection of our homes, we would recommend that A sum of S10,000 be appropriated for the replacm-tient of the old cement lined mains, -cill of which have long oiitlivecl their theo- retical life, The necessity of this may be readily appreciated when we understand dmt a break M one of these pipes during a serious fire would cut off the water supply and might prove c-ammelv disastrotm There is another matter which ,itally affects our fire prc- tection. We refer to the reduced pressure M, ccrt,-Lin periods. This appears to result from ins-al cicint supply. Our water board we understand, have taken up the matter with the I'detropolitan Water Commission. Unless some iirinediate remedy can he found, a serious condition will result. In the purchase of the abo-%.re apparatus, we 1-rave C0111- 33i-Linicated with and received estimates from the leading manu- facturers in this line including the Ameriam La Frauce Firo Engine Co., Si:,-agravc Co., Ahrens-Fox Co., White Co., and, Maxim Motor Co. In selecting the Hook and Ladder with Chemical purchased in 1915, and the Triple Combination p-ur- Bch used.last wear, the cormnittee were of unanimous opinion that the Alaxim 'Motor Con-ipany was offering us better value than we could obtain elsewhere. Thus far, the experience of the Fire Department with the apparatus arid the services received from the 'Maxim Motor Company lead us to believe that we have made. no mistake. The Chief's car, made by the Oldsmobile Co., which w.e purchased in 1916 from INly. Harr. Hall has proven equally satisfactory. & �V. H. LUC-AS, Chairman. \VESLEY E. MONK, GEORGE H. HUDSON. REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF POLES AND WIRES. January 2, 1918 To lie Honorable Board of Sciedinen. Gentleinen: I herewith submit the report of the work of the Poles and Wires Department for Lhe year ending December 31, 1917. 1 New Construction. Owing to the rapid growth of the Town it was necessary, for the adequate protection of life and property, to install five new fire-alarm boxes and one new police box. Three fire-alarm boxes were lastalled in the Fossland; one at the con--ie-r of Concord Street and Boylston Street, one at the comer of Putnam Street and School Street, and one at the corner of Dartmouth Street and Boylston Street. A box was also installed at the comer of Rangeley Road and Hillside Road and one on Westland Road. The Police Signal box was installed at the corner of Commonwealth Aventie and Clyde Road. Belmont Connection. Our fire-alan-ri signal system was connected with the signal systen-i of the Town of Belmont, and is now in wurkiiv order. This has given the Town increased fire protection at very little expense, the cost of the Nvo,-k amounting to $399.90. Maintenance. The Town wires were transferred to new poles on the fol- lowing streets: Lexington Street, Orchard Street, Holt Street, BeIll-lont Street, Waverley Avenue, Fayette Street, Hain Street, Howard Street, Myrtle Street, Pleasant Street, Morse Street, Arsenal Street, Arlington Street, Bigelow Avenue and Mount Auburn Street. Th.e old poles on these streets were badly decaved and it was necessary to change them in order to protect the public. This necessitated the change 7 6 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF POLES AND WMES 77 of cline bees "to new pales. The tappers of three firemen were also transferred to new locations. All the Tow.n wires �%rere thoroughly inspected and repaired aad new, wires ivere installed where required. The necessary insulations were made and obstructing tree hints cleared away. All fire-alarm and police bees were painted, cleancd and thcroughly tested frequently, so as to maintain a good running C`omit14t1. House Inspections. On accowit of the rapid development of the Fo' sland, and the number of buildings erected in other parts of the Town, the work of house vvirijigy inspection was extremely heavy, over 3.500 inspections being; made and 73,5 permits for current issued to the Edison Company. IMany buildings in the Foss- land are not yet complked and still rewire a great deal of inspection. Respectfully submitted, PATRICK J. VAHRY, Inspector. REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS ANIi MEASURES..

The construction is wrliat is lmown as gravel and ail. The entire surface was covered with six inches of gravel watered, and rolled. After being left to dry for a few days, a thick coat of ail was added. A coating of heave sand was next applied and then the street was rolled until the ail flushed to the surface. Every vacant lot was camiected with the sewer, water, and gas. Both the gravel and sand itsed in the con- struction of this street came from our own pit on Pleasant Street Main Street. Me-in. Street is of the same construction as Water Street built in 1914 and. Mount Auburn Street built in 1915 and 1916. Such construction, in our judgment, is second only to a permanent pavement, and with proper inaintenance shoillcl last for years. Before rebuildhig Main Street, it was necessary for the Water Department to take up the cold cement line and replace it Frith cast iron. It is very difficult in building a street to get goad results where there is a newly made ditch osa account of the settling which is inevitable. It would be a great ad- vantage if the water, sewer, and gas could be put in during the fall previous, because the settling would then take place during the winter months -,Nrhen v,,ark on the streets is sus- REPORT or HIGl%VAY DEPARTMENT 89 pended and they would be in readiness for necessary repairs in the staring' Russell Avenue. 1-1,ussell Avenue is an accepted street; but the upper end has receiNred scant attention, It wass overgrown With grass and weeds to such an e:-,tent that it was almost impossible to dis- tinguish the sidewalk from the street. Lines and grades were furnished by the engineering department. The street was brought to a true grade, sufficient gravel being used to cover up the clay. A coat of oil was applied after which the street was rolled. This will answcr until the rest of the lots are built on, It is to be hoped that the same construction now ending at Brigham Street will lip: continued the entire length of the street. Dexter Avenue. The resurfacing_ of Dexter Avenue was started in the sum -Ler but owing to the fact that it was impossible to obtain sufficient stone to 1�eep School Street going; Dexter Avenue teinporarily had to be neglected. The department was handicapped during the entire season tan a.ccomit of a shortage of stone, the concern with which the Town had the contract not being able to furnish the same in sufficiently large quantities. Pour inches of stone were laid on Dexter .Avenue and the work- com- pieted with a binder of asphalt, School Street. The rebuilding of School Street was started in the fall of 1916 and finished at the close of the l)re:scnt Season. � orl was begun at the Nlt. Auburn Street end. The street was first graded and resurfaced as far as the driveway of the. Massa- chusetts Homeopathic Hospital. At this point the widening of the street started. This necessitated the removal of many trees, the installing of catch-basins and the laying of a drah-i putting; underground all wires, and 1-naking sewer connections with all vacant lets. In the construction of this street the proceeded in the follow- ing niai-mer. It was fii�st brought to a true grade, and then covered kvith four 111ches ©f stone over which was placed a 90 1irATEWTowly TOWN REPORT layer of stone dust or gavel followed by a thorough rolling. On this lase four inches of trap rock and two gallons of asphalt were added per square yard. Another rolling and a. sealing coat of three-quarters of a gallon of asphalt per square yard was applied. The work was completed by butting on a covering of sand and using the steam -roller until the surface was smooth and hard. Arsenal Street. Arsenal Street is in very bad condition. The appropriation, however, did not warrant our going to the expense of resur- facing it. It was imperative that something should he done to make it safe for travel during the winter so ire made use of our new " Maintenance Roller."} With the `° Scarifies " at- tachment the old tar surface• was picked up. ,After being levelled, the street was watered and rolled until the znud Naas brought to the surface. This treatrn[r►t ill suffice as a tens porary measure but it is to he hoped that the Town will see its way to make an appropriation ill the spring for a permanent pavement can this mach-traveled highway. . Boylston Street. -Boylston Street: at the beginning ing of the season was inzost impass4ble, This street has a sidewalk only on one side which means that the school children must cross over in all kinds of weather, sornetimes up to their ankles in gruel. Thc school committee has been acquainted with conditions and wie look to them. to*secure an appropriation from the Town .for the laying of asidawalk frm-n Mount Atil►urn Street to the entrance of the school. The street was restu-Fzwed with gravel from a Mount Auburn Street to the school•entrance. Galen Street Bridge. The Hasson pavement ou the easterly side of the Galen Street bridge has given us a good deal of bother and has been the cause of many complaints. After a careful investigation it was decided to lay a two-inch asphalt top which work was dome by a. contract with the lVarrerr Brothers Co. It was necessary ,for the Roston Elevated in order to get a Mond near REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 91 the track, to drill the concrete away for a distance of two feet and go down LwL) uaclvcs. In the end we were well pleased with. the canstruction and consider it the best way to build a street, because it makes practically a permanent roadbed. A six-inch concrete road can be. used for seven or eight years and when it begins to wear a two-incli trap of asphalt can be added -which will make it last for seven or eight years more. Maplewood Street and Winsor Avenue. Maplewood Street, Winsor A-venue and Conun+onivealth Roa.cl were built under the Betteri-nent Act in response to a petition of the abutters. A surface drain was laid ;n each of these streets, the necessary catch-basins installed, and every lot;. vacant or othen6se, was connected with the seiner, rater, and gas before the work of building the street was staited. The construction is of gravel and oil, the gravel coming from our own pit an Pleasant 'Street. We are convinced that it is for the interest of the Town as well as the abutters to mist that all private ways be built under the provisions of the Betterment Act, Sidewalk Construction. Receipts..

REPORT OF TOWN ENGINEER, Watertown, January To the Honorable Board of Seiectinen. entlenioz: The follo,,%ing report relating to work done by this department during the year ending December 31, 1917, is respectftilly submitted. Report. The engineering farce has been increased by the addition of an assistant engineer,Mr.Forrest J. X1a.ynard, who has come well equipped Nvith a complete knowledge of instruinentil work of engineering character, which has enabled the depart- ment to beep the office work to date and to do all field work when required. Sewers. The whole length of sexers laid in Watertown to date is 223,797 linear feet or 42 iniles and 2037 feet. 14,111}jinear feet- of sewers were laid during the past year as shown by the following table- Wheeler Lane Sewer The district chained. by " Wheeler Lane Sewer " is situated on the southern slope of the,. area beV%%, en Charles River Road and Riverside,Street for dir etion north Und south, and between Perkins Institution and the junction of Wheel-}r Dane and River- side Street for direction east and west. Thurston Road, Priest Read and In-ing Street have a direct slope to Charles River Roz d Nvhich has a level grade at this locality prohibit:iag the building of a sewer having essential features of service. A preliminary line of levels was rite parallel with and fifteen feet north of the boundary lino of the Metropolitan Dark Reservation from Riverside Street to Truing Street and a profile oracle to show the relation of the seiner to the grade of the existing streets at the paint of sewer crossings. At Thurston Road the sewer if.wilt on this tine would be three inches above the minter of the roadway, and wholly abo-,,re the center of Priest Road. At Irving Street the sewer 97 i ATERTOWN TOWN REPORT would be nine inches above the roadway or two and one-half feet above the grade of Charles Rimer Road. These facts show be-rand a doubt that the adoption of the preliminary line for the location of the sever was prohibit.iv.c, an account of changing the grade of each of the streets at their junction with Charles liver Road. It was evident that the: server should be located in deeper ground on such line as would give the proper depth of covering for the sewer in private property, and for prober depth of manholes in the streets at sewer crossings without cxattsing an inctnnbrance to the property a.od v6thout requiring* subsequent filling for covering the se-wer. These conditions caused the building of the sew-er can property lines most favorable to the existilxg layout of lot lines. Other lines cf Iocation were, investigated, particularly at the fact of Thurston Road, iNrith the endeay.or to arrange the line without causing an in nbra,nce to private property on the west side of the street, but the topogn-tphy of the land .and the existing grade of Thurston Road would not admit of any line at this locality without clanging the grade of the street, or the necessary protection of the sewer by extensive filling. The final line adopted, is located can boundary lot lines where possible, with the least encumbrance to property consistent with economy. Table. Boylston Street, 1.522 lin. ft.

The fourth aannia:l report of the Town Planning Board cover- ing year ending December 31, 1917, is hereXith presented. During the past year the topographical sun ey of Meeting House Dill and adjacent territory was continued until a satis- factory basis was established for a reasonably complete layout of streets within the area east of Ccnunon Street which em- braces particularly that occupied by the Oakley Golf Club. Wizch time was given to consideration and development of a proper street arrangement to provide the easiest grades and most direct connections between important points. The lay- out is presented herewith. Although the contours are essential to a full understanding of the reasons for the street arrangement, it was impossible i%ithout confusion, to reproduce them in the engraving because of the smell scale. Suffice it to say, how-ever, that as laid out all grades will be easy and all points can be reached by an easy grade. It will be noted that Maplewood Street, which begins op- posite the Coolidge School on Arlington Street, is by the plan continued to and embraces Grenville Road, suitably widened, as far as Common Street. Practically all of the proposed new portion of Maplewood Street is nearly level. The com- paratively short connection from the end of Commonwealth Road to Stoneleigh Road provides a eery direct: route from the old Driving Club territory to the High School and points westward on Mt. Auburn Street. Other westward connections froin Common-wealth Road are provided at the higher levels and Adams Aventie conveniently enters the system. The sweeping curves of the streets extending from, Mt. Auburn Street to Common Street are the most distinctive feature of the nuNv layout, follw ring as they do in the upper part of their course, nearly level grades on the crest and the sides of the Bill, and ;diving easy access through crass streets to the important points on the Belmont side. 100 REPORT Of TOWN PL.N7%TJXG I30ARD 101 I r s , �. 102 WATER'TOWN TOWN REPORT Fhile it is essential that the Town by suitable action should insure itself against undesirable arrangement and construction of streets within the area under discussion, Nve believe that it is most desirable and in the best interests of the Town that. before such action is taken the territory westward fron, Com- mon Street to Cat-roll Street should be similarly surveyed and laid out. We thererore recon-nnQnd an appropria,tion of 225 of which we cstini5ite thg 00 will'be required for the survey and layout and `5 for office expenses, A definite basis w ill then he provided for the ivell-considered action which in our opinion the Town should take before there is any possibility of the land being consistently taken in Band fcr devvlopment. The opportunity for a development of great beauty and utility is teo great to be neglected. Respectfully submitted, NVALTER B. SNOW, Ch[Ii1num, ROBERT H. IVAMBOLT, WILLIAM W.

The Commission m(--t wid organized June, 1917, as follows. P. H. O'Halloran, Chuirman; '", 1. W Norcross, Secretary- The playgrounds were opened July 9 and closed August 31, 1917. The bathing beach opened July 16 and closed Septem- ber 8. This vear the work has been under the, supervision of Mr. Fr,,:ml,- McNamara, who has given exceilmt satisfaction. The children enjoyed their work throughout the sum3ner. The apparaws has been incrensed and kept in good repair. The work of the playgrounds and b.,Lthing beach has been carried on with no friction whatever and to the best advantage of the children. The Comm-nission has maintainccl two playgrounds and a bathing beach. One playground at Saltonstall Park and one at Coolidge School at the East End. The bathing I)eacli is at the same pla eas last year at a point on the bank of Charles River in the rear of the Perkins Institution. There should be more playgrounds for the children. At least three, one on the south side, one on the north side and one at Bemis. In each of these sections, there are large n=ibers of children with no playgrounds. The bathing beach has been under the direction of Mr. W. Clarke, TMr. 0stTidge having enteTed the service of the, LTnited States Aviation Corps. The attendance at the beach has been smaller than last year on account of opening a week later. There were 47144- boys and 2052 girls w-ho took advantage of the facilities at the beach. The attendance at the play- grounds was as follows: Salton%t'all Park, boys, 5990; girls, 5198; Coolidge playground, boys, 067; girls, 1473. Total attendance at the playground, 13,628. The-Con-unission are -,.-ery nitich in favor of the erection of - a permanent bath house on the bathing beach, as wL are obliged 103 104 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT at the present time to use touts for dressing rooms, which are not at all. desirable.

Watertown, Klass., January 15, 1918. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, 147aterlmuz, elf"s. Gentle ten. The following is a brief report of the activities of the Park Commission for the year of 11}17. On account of the increased cost of labor and the small amount of money assi6ned to this department, it was hrrpossible to undertake any large improvements, only the work that was absolutely necessary for the care and maintenance of the Parks was done. We have erected on the Toti,Tn Field a strong new backstop for the Baseball Diamond which should last for years. The Ball Diamonds, bath at the Tow-n Field and Park, were in great demand. Several permits were issued to p ivate individuals and organizations for the use of the Park on different occasions. The State guard has drilled there two nights a week all suimner. Repairs have been made to the fence on the Whites Avenue side of the Park and a passage way cut through. The seats and backstop in the Park have also been gore over and put in good condition. The fence at flowe's Park is in very* poor condition, but we realize that we will be unable to expend any moncy there. this vear on account of the war. Several trees that were in danger of falling have been cut down in Whitney Dill Park. The various deltas around toad have been well taken. care of, shrubs and brass al-%vays being kept in gaud condition. The hedge around the park in Beacon :Square will need considerable attention the coming year as it is getting the proper age naw when it should be trh=ed often to kook - Al. In the early part of the year, Mr. Safford, our formerSupery intendent of Parks, -passed away and Mr. Iran D. Horton was elected Supreintendent for the balance of the year. In consideration of the £act that thesee are war times, a strin- gent check must be placed on all money expended in t1 �e Park Conumission, and just the amount is asked for that they deem 105 106 WATERTOWIN TOWNT RLPOPT necessary for use in the proper maintenance of this d€j).Lrtnient. The walk across Saltonstall Park is in very poor condition and will necessitate a 9 e an e€lien diture o f $675.[?0 to lout it; into such shape as not to he a nienace to public safety . In addition to the above, we ask for$900.00 to be used for the upkeep of the pans. Respectfully submitted, ULMON'T` M. CARLTO , C zaarman, wM. C. WA GAT, Secretary, STANLEY G. BARKER. REPORT OF TREE WARDEN. To the Honorahk Board of 5clecf ncn. (ienflenwn: I herewith.submit my repFort'for the year 1917. During the year twerity-five street trees were taken down. Soma of these trees were removed because of deca v and others were in undesirable locations. In some cases they %vere re- plamd by new trees. There were 94 new trees planted. Guard- ing these xiew trees seems to be a difficult problem. �Vire and metal guards are not satisfactory, although insed to a great extent. AVrooden guards are too expensive and decay 'in a short while when they are set in the };round. There are 200 young trees on the streets which need new. yards. The elm trees were gone over and can streets where there was the most traffic dead branches were removed. Trees on several of the streets were gone over and to-a, branches removed. There: is more of this work to be done, as can be seen an almost any of the streets. On -tie outlying streets the wild cherry continues to be a nuisance. W=en Street especially is in a very bad condition. To accomplish good work with our liinitc:d appropriation I would sraggest that a light auto track be furnished the de- partment. I recoanrnend an appropriation of 81909 for the department for the year 1918. See Auditor's Deport for expenditures for 11917. respectfully- submitted, VAN D. HORTON, .

However, we should be prepared to fake care of than at the proper time, if they should return. For the year 1918 I ask an appropriation of '$2642,50 for this dppaitnxent.

To the Plonorabiv Board of Selectwvn: I respectfully submit the followulg report for the year endillg December 31, 1917. Conditions remain practically the same as last year. The inmates are in their usual good health and are apparently happy and contented. There lips been very little sickness, and no deaths have occurred. The increased cost of every-thing used, leas niade it hard to keel) within the appropriation. Tyre were ten im-nat+es at the be&ning of the year and a life number at the close. The whole number of inmates including readmission has been twenty-eight, the largest tturnber at one t11ne, setienteen F smallest, ten; average, twelve; being one more than last year. One inmate was sent to the Psychopathic Hospital, one to the Waltham Hospital. one to the Westboro State Hospital, two to the Gordon Home Hospital, one in care of his sister, seven went home and five went to work, The usual act-cage. of land was planted and after the wants of the house were supplied, the balance was sold. The re- mainder of the farm was leased at the usual rental. A conslderabie amount of wood was purchased aril a ntunber of trees donated b%- the Tree-Warden and the Park Commis- sioners. This wood after being worked up into stove lengths was delivered to families aided by the Outside Aid and Mothers' Pension Departments oa orders frow the Almoner. The floor of the Idtchen and bailer room was Tlewl_y cemented and i.s now in +fir,t-class condition, New screens wc;.rc made; repairs to the heater; plurnbing repairs; and the wiring of the shed was completed; several rooms, were papered and a aeiv stoke was placed in the men's sinoking room.

Report of the Selectmen of the Town of Watertown, Mass., to the Annual Town Meeting. On the Question of Disposing of the Town Plump, so-called, ou Orchard Street .d Marion Road. On investigation, your Board,found that to fill the excavation to grade, will require 30,000 cubic yards of filling. At present, the Town is dumping about 3000 cubic }cards each year. At this rate, it will take ten years or rriore to make the fill. RECORD OF TOWN MP3EfiFNGS 129 Your Board, early in the spring of 1916,. had the Town Engineer stake out the extension of Sidney Street across the dump, and has confined the fillu3g within those bounds. Your Board ivotild advise the sale of this property for build- ing purposes, the whole piece to be sold together and at such tune as will be for the best interest of the Town. Sale to be on condition that the property is not to be used again for dumping purposes, except to fill around foundations, etc. It is only a. question of shorn time before the adjoining prop- erties will be developed for building purposes, and as dumping space i-k-ill be needed for surplus material excavated from cellars this property should be of great value to the developers. CURTIS W. BIXBY, WEIRDELL r . PATTEN, CHARLES M. ABBOTT, Selechilen of l-Vaterio m, Mass. March 19, 1917. Report of Nartb Beacon Street Widening. The estimate for the widening and construction of North Beacon Street, as presented to the Town 214eeting, hold October 30, 1916, sholVed a total estilliated cast, with a bituminous macadam surfachig, of about $140,000. Upon the recommendation of your Connmittee, the sum of 860,000, was appropriated at the October meeting;, this sum to be used for the payment of land damages, as awarded by the County Commissioners, and incidental expenses connected therewith. Comparatively few of the land daniage awards remain to be accepted by the owners. The Committee expects these will be nearly, if not all, settled within the next few weeks, and this part of the work of widening practically disposed of. In view of this excellent progress, your Committee would propose to proceed with the actual work of const'ructioll. As other Town Departments, however, have i"nportant Nvork to carry out, the money for which must be obtained by borrowing, your Committee would propose to divide the con- 130 W TLrRTOWN TOWN RRPORT struction expense into tNvo appropriations— one to do all the work of grading, edl;estones, sidewalks, etc., and the second to do the finished surfacing. The estimated cost of all construction, except surfacing, is as follows. Excavation 11,580 Drainage 9,920 Curbing 16,490 Walks 4,540 Trees 2,050 Fences 1,375 845,95115) Add ten per cent for +centiagencles 4,505 4,550 A balance cif approximately $9000 is anticipated in the first appropriation. With an appropriation of $40,000 additional, the Committee would have available S48,000 tee carry out the work- estimated above. Your Committee, therefore, recommends that the Town appropriates Mo,000 at this tinne to coutinuef the widening and constnrction of North Beacon Street. In the original decree of the County Commissioners, ordering the widening of Forth Beacon Street, no part of the expense -as assessed upon the Cowrty. Under elate of December 2, 1916, the County Commissioners issued a, supplementary decree, in which they assessed upon Middlesex County the sum of $20,000. This sum will be paid to the Town upon tine completion of the street and its acceptance by the Cominis- sioners. The ToNm is allowed by the Conmaissioners until January 1, 1919, to complete the work. If the Town should decide later to a,ppropI riate a sufficient surd tocomplete the work. which could he done at a Iater Toga Meeting by voting to bcirroiv the money, the work of widening and constructilig North Beacon Street could be -y-irtually completed this year.

Report of School Committee. on Site for New School in the Vorth E-nd of the "f`rrwn. 111'atertown, Xlass., March 19, 1917. In the,article referred to the; School Committee at the Amival Town .Meeting called for Alarch 6, 1916, viz.: " To see if the Town will appoint a. coinmittee to select a site for a new SG4001 in the North End, or take any action relating thereto," the Conu-nittee report as follows. The children in this district are at present cared for as fol- 1oe,�Tl: mine in the Phillips School; seventy-four in the Marshall Spring School and seventy-one in the Lowell. The latter school has trades one to four inclusive. The remaining, grades: attending the other two schools. 'Many of the children, espec- ially those living on Hall Avenue have to tape quite a round- about trip to get to school. In inclement weather this is, no doubt, a. hardship. Iffhile the need of a school building in this section of the Town is not immediate, there is a development of property going on there which will undoubtedly call for increased school acccmimodations in the not distant fixture. It would seem advisable therefore that the Town procure land for a site for a building in that section now when it may be obtained at a reasonable figure. It is possible that land belonging to the Tel%-li is the best place available for such a site. ADOLPH C. ELY, Chairllh2ff. 134 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Article 4.

REPORT OF THE ASSESSORS OF TAXES. We, the undersigned, Assessors of Taxes for time Town of Watertown, respectfully sulm2it our report of the work of the department for the year 1917, together with reconu endations for certain very necessary improvements in equipment for the better and more correct conduction of the department for the ensuing years. The great growth of the To,,vii, both in population and Value, has greatly increased the work of the Board. The system and equipm(-tiit have not been supplied to provide; for the proper, safe and correct handling of this increase, result- ing in soiree dissa.tisfacti011 by taxpayers, a.1id nialang necessary more readjustments of assessments than would he called for, if the system were brought up to elate. . The new State tax on intangible personal property has worked satisfactorily, and has resulted in soinewfiat increased iTICOznc to the Town from this class of property. We believe that it will be more satisfactory as it is better =derstood by our citizens. The detail of this office has grc atly increased., and we believe that the time has arrived ivheim one member of the Board should give his entire time to the work of the office, and the: salary be increased sufficiently to pay for the time sea spent. The Assessors should be relieved of the listing;of the Polls in Toivn, and author- ity given, thei n to appoint assistant Assessors. This could be accomplished by the appointment of Police Officers as assistants, they being familiar N%qth the citizens is all sections of the Town could accomplikb the listing in much less time, and with probably fewer omissions than in any other lay. This -method has been adopted in sonic of the cities of the Conunonwealth, and we think it has proved beneficial in all wags. This work now cores can the Assessors in the month of April when all of our time is needed for the exan-driation of property, . 3�8 REPORT OF ASSESSORS 39 particularly- new property. The work of listing polls cannot be completed by the members of the Board before Julie first, thus dela5rilig the more important exali1il-lation and appraisal of bath real and personal property so late that it is of necessity hurried, and carinct receive the careful consideration which it should, to secure fair and equal valuations. We reconmiend that authority be given the Ass sors for the appolI-Itt'nent of assistaii6i, and that an appropriation be matte, sufficient: to cover the expenses thereof. The Board bas como- -menced the revision and improvement of the system in the office, and feels that if the small increaso in the appropriation asked for is granted. ive can get it up to date, and the outlay be justified, fewer errors will occur, and a more equitable asses lnent for all taxpayers be accomplished. The. Board has been liannortious, all working together for the best interest of the departtnent, and we take pleasure in pre- seiiting this unanimous report,. CHESTER 11. HOBBS, CLINTONI .

To the .school Continittcer As your Chairman I submit heretiA'ith nay annual report for the year ending; De Inber :i 1, 1917. In spite: of the many handicaps which, it seemed, at the beginning of the year, w-ould affect both the gtiantity and quality of the work to he clone in our schools, the latter shouv their usual goad condition at the close of the year. The abnormal ill.CMisU ill the school population which was fore- eaasted last year slid not materialize. Although the increase was only a little above normal, it nevertheless was sufficient to overcro`vd the buildings in some of the districts. In the Coolidge, Hosmer and 1XIarshall Spring districts it was neces- sary to pub: one 17FLde in each district on half time. In the Frayacis district one grade was oil half time until the {Christmas vac-ation, when this condition was removed by transferring the _Manual Training~ frog-i the first floor of the Phillips School to the basement of the Francis. The roan-i thus obtained 'is now used for grad ptirposes. In all the buildings now used four school purposes there re- ittain but three rc orris which are not in use. One: of these is in the Semis School and has never beeii used as a classroom. It may be necessary to fit up this room in order to grain some space; elsewhere, Another is in the Parker School„ this room, however, will be in use next year. The third, in the Grant School, is a fair-sized room, but poorly lighted and should be used only in extreme emergency. In addition to the above there remains as available space the four rooms in the old Coolidge School to the East End of the Town. This building will ttiadoubtedlyF have to be used next year and your Chair- man recc imnends that estirna.tes be obtained as to the cost of putting the building into proper condition for use next September and that a special appropriation be asked for at the Annual Town Meeting to cover the expense. If. the 6 NVATERTOWN Pt'BLIC SCHOOl.", incr&-u;e in pupils next year is only normal and all avallable ,pace is tised, it will st 11 be ncmFzary to place some grades on half time or make some other provision in the way of room. TN,, usual repairs necessary to kccp ihe buildings in good condition for use, were made during the sununer. The greater part of this expciase was for paintiag. The: Lowell School received a coat of paint on the outside. The walls of the rooms in wie in the Grant School were freshly,- tinted. The basement walls of the Coolidge were -%vhite-,va-,11cd and the woodwork was given a coat of paint. The window-sashes; and frames of the Homier School were puttied and painted. The interior of Lhu latter building should receivc Ilic atten- lion of Qi e Comini t L cc the curving year, as the walls and wo od- work lutve not been pailited since the building, was constructed. The interior of the 11raiicis, at least the schoolrooms, should also receive attention. The windokv-sashes of the High School need a-ad painting. Additional lockers should also be provided for this school in order that the clothing and other belongings of the pupils may be more sealrely �%afeguarded. At the annual niceting last THarch the Town voted a sub- stanhal increase in the maxiniurn of the salaries of grade teachers. A maxhnuin for the -.-daries ol the women teachers in the Ifigh Schcol was. established by tli(: CornmAtce about three ve=s ago. In the case of the men in our service no maxii-num has been established, The increases in salaries which have occurred, have not been conunensuratiL, with the increase in work. This is partimilarly irtte ill the cfu;e of the g7anunar school principals, N-diose work in our growing school system has doubled. The question of relief for the men in our sarvice should, therefore, receiva, the thoughtful considera- tion and favorable action of the Cominitt"oe. In cvery case they are men who have homes to support and children to educate. The high cost of living effects thein just as scriously as it does the wage-earner. Thuy axe finding it difficult to meet their expenses 'Linder the present conditions and also maintain those obligations looking to the future which thcv have assumed. According to our State Iraw all teachers must retire fram ser�ice at the age of seventy. Therefore the careful man is REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN 7 nor making provision for that tune, either in the shape of life insurance or by savings in banks, or some other way. Dr. Pay son Sinith, Commissioner of Education, Is reported as having said, that, unless added inducements in the %vay of bigger &alari'es -.Ire held out to public school teachers by the local school couffnittees, or a ininimum wage scale is authorized by the State Legislature, the shortage of 'teachers N�,hich has obtained for several months xvill he increased. He further reports that the. shortage is becoming more manifest d ally: that an unusual number of superintendents are seeking teachers: that teachers are leaving the schools being 'attracted by the larger pay of private enterprise. Governor McCall considered the situation of sufficient IT11- portance to make mention of it in his inaugural address. If the proud boast of us Americans, viz.: that otir public school system is the bulwark of our nation, is to be maintained, then it I jebooves those who have the sYstern in charge to make the compensation for the Nvcrk done harge enough to attract the best teachers into the service and beep them there. In -,,Icw of the necessity of carefully conserving all the re- sotirces of the Town during the critical peniod through which our country is passing, the Chairman, in closing, would be- speak for the Committee the heartiest co-operation on the Dart of of the parents, and also the teachers, in meeting the problem of housing the children in our schools, remembering N,I that the Con-uiiittee must administer the schools for the greatest good of the greatest number. Respectfully submitted, ADOLPH C. ELY, Cliairinan. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. TO the Schoot Committee: I herewith submit my tenth annual report as Superintendent of Schools of WatDrLown. This report is Lhe eightieth of the printed reports of the. Scliool Con-unittee of NVaterLoNvn. School Accommodations. In my last report I called your attention to the growth of the Tawn and the needs in the various sectious. At the Coolidge School we have twelve teachers occupy ring eleven rooms. This ineans LhUL the two fourth grades, representing about seventy pupils tire an part time. As a result of this we shall need two additional rooms at the Coolidge School next year. At the Hosmer School there should be at least two more rooms to relieve the congestion in grades two, three, and four At thcTvest end of the Town we can also see a rapid growth. We have eighty pupils on part time at the 1A.-farshill Spring School, This same groul) of childi-en should have a full school da,v next year and assmning that the first grade conditions %ill be tho same, this would call for Wo additional rooms or * further extension of the paxt tune plan, We still have four rooms from the Hosmer District occupying * part of the Phillips building. If these pupils cc)uld he housed in their own district, the Phillips School would furnish relief for the west end of the Town. Manual Training. At the rcqu,tst of the School Committee, Mr. Moore ivar, asked to make a brief report of the conditions in Manual Training, He reports in part as follows: The aim in Manual rraining has always been educational. Manual Training Nvas born of the sound fundamental truth that the brain is donreloped through purposeful nitisclar activity. 8 S U PE M I_NTENDENT I S REPORT 9 In shaping and constructing inaterial things, the problems to be sotvcd are ininiediate. -.tnd langible. This solution is a challenge and, if honestly %ttempted, brings a quick satisftw- tion. So long as Nlaaual Training is offerod ullice, to all pupils, its alm cannot be other thIL11 a brOad ,eneral one. Recoiranendations: That an M(Jusl depart3nent be organ- ized into which pupils who may now be classified as " mis- fits " he gathered for the purposc of offering their hand work to the anoint of one-third to one-half the school time. OUICT .subjects to be taught from an industrial standpoint. That the equipment be provided for a course in printing Mi the eighth and ninth grades — this to be an qtional course with the woodworking course. Priming is proving itself to be one of the nlo9t satisfactory fonns of recent manual training developments. Provision for this work would malce smaller classes and thus ineet a pressing need, especially in the ninth grade where individual instruction prevails. That the allotted time for manual training be illatenially increased. This increase in tune will permit the adoption of a textbook for inanual training, the addition of lectures Oil subl iects related to the course and of class visits to shops and other establislu-nents. That an additional teacher be employed. The tune has canoe when one teacher caii no longer be expected to teach properly so many classes and maintain three shops in good condition, That the Parker School be equippe(I for this bnanch of an educational program. The junior High School. Professor Briggs has deFined the junior High School as an organization of grades seven and eight or seven to nine to provide by carious means for indl:vidual differences especially by an earlier introduction of pre-vocational work and of sub- jects 11stially taught in the High school_ The period between the ages of twelve and fifteen niarks a time when the inlJority of children pass from the stage of child- hood into that of youth and this period of transition is accom- panied by inarked psychic changes. WATKRTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS The plan of providiag ono Leacher for each grade is of value for the first six grades, but should not continue through the next two or three. For the proj)er development of the child's mind, it is necessary that lie now be I)I-Ouglit into contact with a greater rota rnber of tz-achers. To insure fl-xibility, pupils must be promoted by subjects. DcpartinenLal teaching )-vill 1-neet these problems in the most satisfactory way, while at the sarne time, teachers who are specialists in this line -,N,ill he 'provided. As new buildings will be needed, it seems highly advisable that this question of organization of the Junior high School be -1yen careful COnSidel-iLtiOn. Vocational Education. The Newtoii' Vocution-d School and indeed any State-aided vocational school is opuli at the Joint charge of the Town and the State to an,,!- of our boys or girls over foarLeen years of tire, reached le -,e, who have ched the sixth rU -, who may wish to attend. The per capita cost is about double that of high school instruc- tion, and of course, the saine students in our of-vn schools would not add inaturially to their total cost. The advantage of the vocational school to boys is that, they can learn a trade and obta' a general education iii relation to It. Fcr girls there are not trade co-uTses, but a practical arts course carrying the household arts somewhat further than we do but offering little advantage over our own course iii household arts tulle9s a girl means to make drc&sniak:in-, her trade. The fact that n the school is c)l.)ui-i, as above stated, to students Nvbo calAnQt reach high school has a tendency to blvite students %%-ho have not been successful. It is, of course; one purpose of such a school to open a Nay to such students to success in a direction, and so far as it does this, it renders an important service. We have in this school this yeLLT" tWCntV--thrCC h0vs and two girls. Our students are also free to attend State-aided evening; vocational schools at the charge of the Town and State. Xlen and women have availed the-anselves of this 0J)POrtl-MitY In considerable ntuaibers attendiiig the cvening sessions of the onsl S ITE R IN T]_ L)I-N T', REPORT 11 Boston Trade School for Boys and the Nm%-I.on Evening Vocational School. The High School. There are qever-il thin.-s that have been accomplished at the Eigrh :School since the appmtrance of mN� last report that are mare or less noteivorthy. 1. The High School-has been put on the certificate list of Dartmouth, Nkorcester Poly—technic Institute, Trinity College, Washington, D. C., Sinnnans, thjj New Enghind College Ccrtl_ fierite Board, and placed in Chtss A by the Massachusetts Board of Education. Beginning witli September, 101D, bow- ever, Wellesley, Mt, Holyoke, -Smith, and Vassar will no longer recerkre students on certificate from any scliool. These colleges have accepted a modification of the HarVUd-Yale plan of admission. Late III the spring, a call was issued by the 'Mai�sachusetts ConuniLtee on Safety, Department of Alobilizaticill of School Boys for Farm ,Service to the high schools of the State asking for the enlistine-m of boys sixteen of age or over for farin service durin-cy the months of Mav to Dcto'beT. For certain TC,'-';DnS, the boys were not actLtzilly Irut to work, hom- ever, except M SULtLOTed cases, iiatil toward the end of jume. Twelve Watertown buys answered the call to this service. On December 20,, 19 17, honorqU r-discharges signed by Go Cmnr Mccall and IN-1r. fames J. Storrow, CN-Mman of the Committee on PuLlic Safety, were mvard�d to Edgtir Beckett, Lawrence Davis, 1%,11liam Farrington, George F&ter, Frank Gilbert, Warren Messier, ArtlILli- Mitchell, William Tyree, Lawrence Walker, Lincoln Waus. As a restilt of horiorably completing their term Of C111iStMeM, these boys were made inembers of the Federal Working Boys Reserve. They ,rere also presented uith a bronze badge for having completed their,term of enlist- ment acceptably. We are lookinu fonvard Lo a much I g m ar.,er group of ljoys to enter the farm ser,�rice this coming simimer. The High School responded generou-sly to the Liberty Loan campaign. The freshman and sophomore classses�'each bought aMbond. The junior class invested in aS'100 bond, and the 12 WATERT(3WN PVTLIC SC110OLS senior class bought a ;S1.00 and a 850 Bond. The Athletic Association invested in a $50 bond. The girls' society in the scliooi, `° The Quids " decided this year that in place of the 11:5VUsl prof rain of ent.ertlinnient "Ind sports it would devote its entire energies and resotnrces to Red Cross ivork. 13,hortly after 1—nakling such .1 decision, the Met- ropolitan Chapter created a new branch of its work called the ,junior Membership Auxiliary for Schools. The girls applied for rrieinlaership in it and received word that there; were two ways of entering; one b�- paying a sum of money arnatinting to 25 cents for each pupil in the school, or (2 a stian of money amounting to 40 per cent of such a. teat€il and a pledge to pay the other 50 per cent in labor. The society promptly decided to pay the 100 per cent in cash. This money was raised in three ways, (1) by contributing the total amouat of money on hand and what should be raised by clues at 25 cents tc this fund. (2) By receiving the proceeds of a dance that the Athletic Association nave., and (3) By making a strentIOU9 CIiYn- paign up anal down the school to get 25 cent memberships. The atert.own Branch of the Metropolitan Tied Cross lei-it the girls S12 to make up the total of $93 in ureter that the chapter might be established as soon as possible. The &Is, however, clid not wait for this ilna tter to materialize before getting the work. The local Red Cross chtipter gave the girls 150 yards of gauze which th-is far has been made into 420 4 x 4 surgical dressings and 100 9 x 9 surgical di-essiligs. Educationally, the school ye"Lr opened with several addi- tional courses to the school curricula-ni. Two divisions ill Spanish totalling 45, a dross ill Biology tet;alling 2:3, a class in Chemistry totalling 26, two classes in Cooking for bogs totalling :35, a class in Interior Decorating of 9, a class in Metal Work of 4, one class in Modern History of 35, four classes in Community Civics totalling 118, and one in Class , MiLsic Appreciation of 17.

By this imgularity the bonded indebtedness wm increased =necessarily and a precedent establishcd which -tve have always deprecated. We trust this may not be repeated and that the citizens and water tz-&ers who will Lake the trouble to read this report -"i11 see to it that adequate appropriations for t:hig department are made at the proper time, i.e., the annual March meeting. To their satisfaction they NN il1 fu d that the income of this department has now bocoine more than sufficient to cover all expenditures of every kind, including the reduction by $16,000 of the bonded indebtedness -md to return a ha.ndscme stu-lAtts to the ".oivn Treasury. It had been our expectation to present a budget for the ensuing }rear showing a decided retrenclunent in expenses to 4 WATERTOWN TOWIN REPORT accord with the natural desire for economy in these troublous times. Unfortunately the severity of the season has already led to a rnost extraordinary expense. There has been a freezing of sen"Ice pipes, meters, and even of mains unprecedented in the history of the department, involving probably not less than $4000 expenditure, which must be added to this year's account for maintenance. The ordinary cxpease for this branch of work will lie a-bout the same as of last year. Therefore, Nve as Comparccl N��tll $10,176-56 ex- Shall require, Say 81",000, pended last veaz-. On construction we estitmate to need $13,300 in place of $16,7�14-72 expended List v.ear. (A) IL had been our intention to ask for a special appro- priation for enlargement of that pardon of the main on Arsenal Street: now six.-inch, which insufficiently serves the nq)idly increasing demands of the United St,-Ltcq ATsenn] and the large manufacturevs nearby. This is a necessity and needs no a;rgwnent, but in the dis- cussion of this rnatter as well as of the even inure important one of better high service on the north side of the To%vu we bane to otir gmat satisfaction -received tirithin a few days the opinion of the engineer of the A.-fetropolitan Board that the most efficacious way of impnwing the supply to the, Town and of mecting the demands of the future and which will probably he adopted as R.11 OSSCIlti.-LI part of a coi3-1preliensive layout of oitr municipal sys Lcn-, would be an addition at intake con- nected aith the Mutroj),OhLan main at Brighton, entering IVatertown over the penal Street briftc-, and continued up that street to meet eventually our other and 1-ze.s-ent source of sul)-ply- This is plaluied to be a sixteen-inch main s,nd shculd be laid a distance of about 3200 feet from the west end of said hridge to the gate of the Hood Rubber works.

It is expected that if an appropriation s RLPORT OF NVATER DEPARTMXT for this ill-iportant Nvork is made at the IN-larch ii-iucting the wark can be bMun early in the Spring. We, therefore, request the following appropriations: For Constmotion, S,13,300, for 1%fiaintel-i-ance, $15,001), and for special work (reconstruction) 614,500. (B) We have made no mention of the advisability of la proper 4-ppr0j)ri,Lti1a11 for the replacement of cernent-fined pipes.

The outstanding;events of:the y e.ar in the work of the Library have been, in the order of their occurrence, the opening of the East Branch and the change in librarians. The vote of the Tovm in alapropriatirzl; money for a branch library- in the east end of the Town has been a -rpl%, justified. The appreciation and use of the East Branch have proven the genuineness of the desire far library facilities in that Dart of the Town. This fact is shown n-iore in detail by the reports of the Librarian and of the assistant in charge of the Branch. The fallow:ig; lrtiimte has been adopte(l and made a part of the records of the Bogard of Trustees regaviing the death of the late 1Likaria.11. "In the death of lvlr. 5olr)tx I+. Whitney- on November N, the W-.1tel-towa Free Public L brary lost its first, .and up to that tithe, its only librarian. Indeed, 21dr. Whitney was one of the cornparly of me i %-,,ho were act-ivc in the auoven ent which re- sulted in the establislunent of the library. He was a i-ricinber of the committee up])GlTitccl ley a public meeting, held in the vestry of the Unitarian church on Thursday evening, June 6, 1867, ripoll invitation of the School Committee, to raise funds for a library, and becanie secretary of that committee. On January 29, following, he was appointed, at a town meeting, upon a.Com- mittee to report a. plan of organization. The plan of this com- rnittee was adapted July 22, 1868, a board of ten trustees ap- pointed, which soon chase Mr. Whitney. as librarannY. "Mr. Whitney's interest u-i the library was deep grid enthu- siastic from the beginning. Ile was a contributor to the first fund raised to start the library and to the later fund, raised in 1881, for a library building. When elected librarian, lie was principal of the local High School wid later taught in Cain- bridge, so that he was not expected to give his entire time to the library. That arrangernent was never formally changed, yet he never gave any stilited service to this work. He loured it. He G REPORT OF TRUSTELES 7 believed in the value of goad reading as an educational and up- lifting force in the community. He earnestly desired and strove aliv.ays to extend the use and usefulness of the library. He looked upon the library as the work of his life. Undoubtedly, he ardently loped to complete fifty years of actual service as librarian, as he would have done if he 11a+d limed until next surnmex. It would have been very gratifying if this could have been. Actually, he had completed more than fifty years of unbroken, devoted rervice in the interests of the library. Watertown owes much to him, and to the others of those public- spirited believers in the uplifting power of goocl reading, of whom he was the last survivor, for its library, -which, for a town of this size, is unusually large and well equipped. "The present Board of Trustees gladly takes this opportm ity to express its appreciation of the long, faithful and valuable service of X[r. Whitney to this important and growing nistitu- tien of our 'Town.." The Town was fortunate in having are assistant librarian, Miss Lydia, W. Masters, who, by leer long experience, her de- voted. service and her enthusiastic interest in the work, was amply qual fie.d to take up and carry on the xvork of the libra- rian. A-Hiss Masters is widely and favorably known among libra- rians, hereabouts, and her appointment to the vacant place has been warmly con-uncnded by then, as well as by the local public. The growth in circulation leas continued during the year and the additions to the Library have been average in number and varied in character. It is the policy of the Trustees to ina.intain the,high standard of the Library as set by former boards. If there is any considerable desire that the Library should be opened during the morning hours, the Trustees will be glad to learn of the fact and will give the questioa careful consicleration. Such opening will undoubtedly call for more service and so increase the cost of maintaining the work. In th�s connection, attention is called to the fact that the Trustees have been obliged to raise the salaries of the Library staff-, including the janitor. The increased cost of living and the difficulty of finding and retaining; assistants have accessitated considerable increase in this item of expense. The Trustees would suggest that library Nvork- presents a fine opporturnity to WATERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY ycwig people-, especially to young women, of good education, for agreaable occupation. Changes that wi11 increase the usefulness of the Library are in contemplation. among these are a freer access, €n the part of the public, to the shelves, u3 so far as the arrangement of the Library W111 permit. If, however, as needed changes will be more expensive than can be met from the regular appropria- tion, they will not be proposed to the Town this year. The Trustees hereby express their appreciation of the loyal and faithful senice of the members of the staff under the trying conditions which prevailed dwinl;the year owing to the changes in personnel, the Iibrary war fund campaign, lack of assistants at times, and other causes. For the current year the Trustees respectfully ask the Town for an appropriation of 8000 for the 20ain Literary, arid, owing to the large use-of the East Branch, for an appropriation of $2000 for that work. EDWARD C. CAMP, G'lz�a r�arutr, REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN. To Vie Trustees of the Free Pn.NiC Library of 147atertrr : Gentlemen: If Mr. Whitney had lived this would have been his fiftieth report. He had looked forward to writing it,and to those associated with him it is a matter of regret that his wish ccnxld not have been fulfilled. The East Branch. The most outstanding event of our libTa.ry= year has been the opening, on June 2, of the East Branch, at 565 Mount Auburn Street. We were fortunate in securing a room in a central loca.- Eon. Indirect lighting was installed and shelves put in to hold, from 2000 to 3000 books. The Main. Library contributed part of the furniture and some new furniture was bought. We were again fortunate in securing Miss Elsie M. Collins, assistant librarian at the Winthrop Public Library, as the Branch Libra- rian. She brought to her work a knowledge of books and of people and entered upon it-with eathusia.sm. At first the branch was open on Tuesday, Thursday and Sattuday, from 2 to 6 and from 7 to 9, but the work increased and the patronage justified opening it every week-day. On Novernber 12, the hours were- changecl and the branch is now open from 3 to 6 every after- noon and from 7 to 9 every evening except lVednesday. I refer you to Miss Collins's report for details. The East Branch has certaint-v been a success Irani the start and merits the support of the Town and the croinmunitV. Heating of the Stack Room. The Town granted us a special appropriation for installing radiatora in the stack room and our only regret is that we did not ask for it sooner. Instead of a place from 10 to 20 degrees colder than the rest of the building, the stack room is now the warmest spat in the library and it has not added to the amount of fuel used. 10 WATERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY The Circulation. The circu.lat' has illcreased frOM $1,472 to 88,470, This is largely due to the Ezst Branch. We have observed that some of our most regular borrowers are taking very few books as their time is absorbed in war relief work. We have had, ho-,-cfcver, many yomig men calling for books along the lines of the sertrice that they have joined, or are thinking of joitzing, and we have had to buy many books on aviation, gasoline engines, wireless telegraphy, and navigation to supply the demand. Change in.Library Rules. During the year the library rules have been changed to allow patrons to borrow a reasonable number of standard or 14-day fiction In, addition to one 7-day fiction, and 7-day books were made non-renewable. This change has been appreciated by the library- patrons. Camp Library Fund. In September there was a. campaign to raise money for the camp libraries for soldiers and sailors in this country and overseas. An arnount approxiniate to 5 per cent of the popula- tion was asked frorn each city and town. Watertown, as usual, did more than she was called to do and $1100.00 was sent to the fund. This sam -was raised in many ways and contributions ranged frcam pennies to two checks for 950.00. Our thanks are clue to a group of young ladies from the High School,'a-ho as- sisted i getti g+gut the letters,and tc the$a,7 scouts, who made a }louse to house canvass. .A call was also sent for books and magazines to be sent to the camps. 539 boobs and zany magazines were received, All of the boobs had the following;book plate inserted: Try CAmp LmRAR Ms GIVE THR07JGII Tx1 FIE$ Pui3mc LinRARY W.&T.ERTawr7, MASSACHUSETTS Most of the boars were ether",ise plated and prepared for circulation. 87 have been sent to Camp Devens, 75 to the LIBRARIAN'S REFORT 11 WatertoiNm .Arsenal, 327 to the Boston Public Library for dis- tribution in Southern camps, on naval vessels and transports, axed to other branebes of the service. We are Balding a few books to send to the Arseiial when they can care for tnrre than they have already. No magazines older than three months are now desired, but we will continue to receive and send out b€oks and there is a call for french grammars and phrase boobs. Inter-Library Loan The library owes its thaAis to the Boston Public Library, the l\Tewtoii Free Library, and the Waltham Public Library for their .generosity in loaning us books through the inter-library loan system, The Newton Free Libran- has been largely called upon anj we have ]aeon glad to return the favor can three occasions. I.V,e are glad to boil v books,forour patrons,from other libraries W11cliever it is possible. The 'Library and Food Conservation. The staff leas been represented at the meetings of the Mas<sa- chusetts Library C'lab and the Neighborhood Library Group, which includes Newton, NValtha.m, and the surrounding towns. At the last meeting of the; latter, the librarian was appointed to serve on a committee to co-operate with the various cone-nitte:es on food conservation. The libraries are asked by the National Food -Admitristration to undertake this wark. flans are already under way for co-operation with the organizations in this town. It is hoped that some interesting exhibits and talks on food conservation will be held iii the library. The Staff. There have been ma.nv changes in the library staff during the last year. Mr. IlVhitney, librarian for nearly fifty}ears, passed away November 29. Miss Snow, who was with us nearly a year, left in April and is now in the Somerville Public Library. vIiss Ifennig left in September to resume her course at Simn-ions College, and Miss Nimms, the children's librarian, went to Cleveland to take a course for children's librarians. Mr. Dugan, who for ina:ny years has been an agent of the library, changed his occupation, and his place at Bemis is taken by Mrs. Crla.re:nce 12 WATERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY Roy. Mis French succeeds Miss Nimms and Miss Camp is at the dclivery desk. For two months we have had the assistance of a High School senior from 3 to 0 in the afternoon, and they have been of much help during the busy hours. Somanychanges in the staff are trying to the public and hard for the staff, but every one has co-operated to make this felt: as little as possible. The Future. There is a persistent call for uPen shelves. We have had made some small book-cases and brought groups of books into the delivery and reading rooms and have allowed the patrons to go to the shelves as much as passible, I hope, however, in the future, when there is sorne readjustment of the books, and per- haps a new charging desk-, that we may have the open-shelf system. There is also a call for the library to be open in the morning and I hope that will be a. possibility in the near future. In 1900 Watertuwn had a population of 9706 and the library contained 26 409 voltunes with a circulation of 36,430. Today we have a population of nearly 20,000 and we have 0,271 vol- umes with a circulation of 88,470. We had practically the satrle number of assistants in 1000 that w e have today'. 'The work is charging and increasing yearly and it is almost impossible to keep up the routine work- ith the limited staff that we have at present. The East Branch also entails extra work on the Nfain Library assistants. My thanks are due to you, the Trustees, for the confidence that you have shown in me, and I trust that I may merit your support and that of the townspeople. Respectfully submitted, LYDIA W. MASTERS, Librarian. December 31, 1017.

To the Librarian: The present feeling; of disturbance and unrest throughout our country is having a marked effect-upon the children. The older boys are asking permission to go to the adult department for war books, and aim ng the younger boys there are fearer re- quests for "school" stories and a greater interest in books about fighting, soldiers, etc. Thcre is a Feat demand for 13oy Scout, Girl Scout and Camp- Tire stories. 'While thellbran wishes to co-operate in every way With these splendid organixations, it is difficult to supply enaugh worth-while titles to meet the demand. Many of the books of this type nmv lacing published are of a very inferior end medicx re type and not expressive of the wins and ideals of these organiza- tions. The work with the schools has suffered somewhat this year, Olving to the change of cliildren's librarians, and it seems as if there has beers less demand for hooks by the sehoal teachers, but it is hoped that co-operation with the schools can be stitnu- laced. The story hour attendance for the year is much less than that of the previous year, partly owing to the fact that during the fall but one story hour has beexi held each week.. However, the librarian is planning to tell stories two days each week during the next year, one for the little children and one for the alder bays and gixls. Oiie young lady in town leas volunteered to tell stories one afternoon in January. It is hoped that ether story- tellers -who would 11kc to assist in this way will cnnununicate with the libraxian. Since the middle of November a High School senior has as- sistedd in this +de.partrne:nt dw ing the busiest part of the after- noon. Shu has been very useful in keeping the shelves in order and doing other routine work, thereby giving the librarian an opportunity to give more individual attention to the children and teachers.

To the Librarian. Tine East Branch of the Watertown Public library at 565 Mount Aubuni Street w.as opened for the first time on the secMid of June. Owing to the fact that the undertaking was more or less experimental, it was deckled to open it, but three days a vreek. So great was its Success, however, and s4 large the circu- lation on these days, that it soon became impossible for one person to handt(-_ it efficiently under such conditions. Ferro€', about the middle of November the present time schedule was put into effect. The total nuinber of books, circulatedd since the Branch opened is 14,394, snaking an average of 140 per clad=. About cane-third of this n-Lunber have been juveniles. Of the 633 new cards issued, all but 68 were to persons who had never before used the library. The collection of hooks is necessarily a clanging one. Books are borrowed from the �\,Iaign Library when called for, and the collection is added to and exchauged as often as it is thought necessary. The demand for new and popular fiction has made it n.ecessaxyi to purchase: duplicate copies of scitle titles, these to become part of a permanent collection. Besides the reference hooks loaned to the Branch by the Main Library, a. nuinber of histories and rather books used ill the work with school chil- dren have been added. Because of the unusual demand for technical boolcs, a ntunbcr of these have also been purchased, risking a total of 433 books, the property of the Branch. Magazines are used both in the library itself and circulated for horne use. Its all, there are 32 periodicals on file. To meet the needs of the nori-English speaking people, "l wks in Armenian, Italian, and modern Creek were borrowed from the TMassachusetts Free Public Library Commission and have had a wide circulation. Picture collections, the property of the Library Art Club, have been borrowed frarn time to time and have made decora- tive and instructi-re exhibits. Because it is still in its infancy, the activities of the Branch are, as yet, somewhat limited,, but jttdging it by what liar,been t.1BPURIANt8 REPORT 23 accomplished in the few months of its existence it is assured of a progressive and promising futurc. In closing, the: librarian wishes to thank the people of east Watertown for their cordial interest and co-operation and will % eleOme and- sit',-estions can their part as to how the service may better meet their needs.
