MONK REPORT CE THE SELECTMEN 'I'lic Selectmen hercuii;1 submit their report: for the, year ending December 31, 1918. Reports of the departments under their charge iN ill be found elsewhere and are to be con- sidered as details of this report. Streets Apart from betterment work-, comparatively little new con- struction was clone. Itiicliols Avenue, Irving Street between Arsenal Street and the railroad, and Mount Auburn Street from Beacori Square to the Galen Street bridge, were built of tar macadam, Irma Avenues, Lloyd Road and Clayton. Street of get}Tel and heavy oil. Orcl yard and Belmont Streets were sur- faced and given a coat of heavy coil. On one side of the Glen Street bridge the Hassarn pavement, which ;showcd signs of breaking, was surfaced "With a top of asphalt -with excellent results. The s=c treatment should be applied to the ether side next y=ear. Career Road, Clyne Road, Carver Road East, and Bangdon Avenue were built under the Betterrnent Act; the construction was of gravel and. ail. The adoption, by the 'Town, of this policy is beginning to show substantial results. AU the streets on the Ada-ins prop- erty have been built in this wain, resulting in as fine a residential section as anywhere in Town. The same is true of the locality on the other side of School Street, where the unaccepted por- tions of the; streets, iArith the e,%meptioii of Hillside Road, have also been built on this plan. The Selectmen have before them petitions, containing the requisite number of signatures (seventy-five per cent or more, for building Stuart Street, A-Vihnot Street, Hosmer Street and a portion of Hillsido Road. They have viewed these streets and will recommend at the annual imeeting that they be accepted and built. We also recommend that School Street from North Beacon 1 Street to Mount .Aubvra Street, Doylstcrn Street frorn School Street to Mount Auburn Street, Winthrop Street, Green Street:, a small portion of Winsor .,venue, and Upland road, be resur- faced. There are many dangerous places in Town where side streets entering Tnai 9 thoroughfares have no rounding trcres, so that automobiles coar6n.- out of these streets have to go directly across the line of travel, before b irng able to turn, One such, place was there Russell Aventic entors I4 otmt Auburn Street. Several accidents had occ=ed here, and we determined to remedy conditions, if passible. We are pleased to report that through the generosity of the owners of the property, who gave the land at this point, we were enabled to mak-c this important improvement without other expense than that of construction, There are many simUar places in Toimnt, such as the corners of Alton and Nichols Avenues, Common rind Orchard Streets, Green and Pleasant Streets, +Garfield. Street, Winsor Avenue, rLangdon.Avenue, Hillside :Road and Mount Aul urn Street, and Green. and Chestnut Streets. All of the land necessary for these improv+ementsbas been conveyed to the Town free of charge,and we hereby record our appreciation of the line ptiblic spirit shmN-m by the Hood Rubber Company, Dr. and 11117s. Benjzu-nln T, Loring, the Church of the Good Shepherd, Lovell Brothers, ' The Vlatertown Savings Bank, F. 0. Bailey, Charles Brighalri, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley M. BtuToughs, Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Gleason, Mr. and Mrs. William P. Coleman, A-Jr. and Mrs. William P. McGuire, Mrs. Mary Lyons, and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas P. 'Tierney, in helping to bring abc)ut these improve- ments. The condition of the laaacceptcd streets in Foss lxmnd, so called., has ha.rl ottr scrious consideration. Tearing that if they are trot put in good order before the houses-are sold, there would be a repetition of bad concl_itions which c ist in other parts of tale: Town., we have told the ow.tiers that: no houses %%rill be connected Nvith the sewers and water mains, until petitions to build the streets are presented to the Selcetmen. By our steady insistence, tii*c have ali-ca.dy received one for Hosmer Street and hole that others Yill folloi�% We trust that ftiture REPORT OF SELEGTAIEN �e1 Boaxds of Selectmen will continue this policy, as it seems to be the only way to make land speculators do what is right, Arsenal Street It Nvas cur intention to ask for an appropriation the corning year, to have a portion of this st.ree:t i6th granite blocks on a concrete 'base, as in our opitlion this is the only surfacing which will adequately meet the requii-ements of the extremely heaver traffic ;Oiich the street carries. Before any work of this char- acter can be clone, it -%ill be n€ecssary- to rebuild the tracks of the Boston Elevated Railway, and �virlcn the space between the traclas in order to permit the opera,tiori of the modern type of cars. The financial condition of the Company is :such, how- ever, that it is unlikely that anything can be done at present therefore, we arc compelled to recommend that any work, except such as may be necessary to make the street safe for travel, be deferred until another y=ear. Drainage In addition to completing the large drain in East 'Watertown, 2755 feet of drains have been laid, costing S5739.07. 1ATe recon-unend an appropriation of $14,`00 for 1919, all for work in streets which it is proposed to build, and in pursuance of the Policy of the Town to hitiId no inorc streets A hich are not drained. We are pleased to report that the a. Teement which we were authorized to make u-ith the Town of Belmont, relative to pay- ing }calf the cost of a drain in Belmont Street for the privilege of its ttse, has been exec ited by both Tc)wns. Our share of the coat is 1561.0.5. Tre da-%ay- Brook, ivJ-dch flows partly tinder a portion of Spring Street, and partly- through private land, has caused some darna.ge to property the past year which the Town was obliged to pay. The larook is confined in a walled channel and is partly covered, The walls are being constantly undermined by the water, and fall doom thr-rebyT obstructing its flo\N--, with consequent (ta-mage to adjoining property for which the Tovm is li,)io. We believe that a lama drain, details of which may he 6 W1't'I'ERTOWN TOWN REPORT fou11El in the report of the 'Town Engineer„ should be built next 37m r. Sewers Owing to a shorttage of labor, the sewer in Belmont Street is not ciaite completed. Wort: `N,,,:is stopped by freezing wcather, and the force was transferred to work on the new outfall sewer below the Arsenal, where conditions are quite favorable for 'whiter work, A description of the new outfall sewer %Nall he founcl in the Engineer's xepart. Street Lights By a vote of the Town, the Selectmen were authorized to prepare a new contract with the Edison Company, as our ten- year contract expired this year. C}wing to the disapprov 0 of long contracts by the Gas and Electric Light Commission, the Edison Coinpany declines to make further contracts, but feu-nishes current at established rates, which, like everything else, are somewhat higher than f ormerly. t the beginning of the year, to help coal conservation, and to reduce expenses, the street Limps which head been lighted all night for a period of seven months, were ordCred to be extin- guished at midnight and lighted again at 5 A.M., and an appro- priation of 914,900 for the year was asked for and reco=ended by the Finance Committee, At the Annual Alcetin , however, a motion was carried to increase the amount $2500, for the purpose of resuming running the lights all night as before. As the incraase was insufficient to carry out the purpose of the appropriation we used our discretion, feeling Vint it wc uld be Aiser to begin all night lighting in the early fall .and continue the rest- of the year, rather than begin immediately and change back to the old schedule in November. In the meantime, a serious situation arose, ar th regard to the otitfall sewer at the lower end of the Arsenal, avdng to the use by the GoveTinrient of the land though which it reins, for clumping purposes, thereby rendering it liable to be broken at any moment, which would cause great d.rmia.ge and discomfort to the entire East End. Money for the work had to be pro- . REPORT OF SELECTA ENT 17 vided, and when our rez.sons for not running the lights all night were ex-plainerl to the Fimance Committee, they recom- m.eiaded the transfer of 2300 from the amoutit appropriated for lighting for this work, coupled ri�ith a criticism of the Select- men for not perforrr ing what they and the Committee knew was impossible. In view of all the facts, of which they were well aware, the criticism by the Committee~ seems unjust and uncalled for. The underground conduit in North Beacon Street wascom- pleted from. School Street to Beacon Square during the sum- mer, and the cables will be dram in soon. Upon the completion of the street, it ;rill be lighted from the iiew,bridge to Beacon. Square %xith 600 c.p, lamps. Under the new schedule of rates, it NNill cast to ran our lights all night, 820,500, and we recoTmi-tend the appropriation of this stun. Fire Department i'7otiNithsta.nding the a se~nce of some of tine perm3a.nent mcla, who are in scr-%icc, as well as the resignations of two men and the removal of another can accouint of a regrettable incident during the suriirner, the efficiency of the department has been maintained. We recommend the addition of four permaiicrit men to the force next year and a reduction in the number of call men from Steen to eight. Almshouse The average riu.mber of ii=utes has been about the same as last year, and they have received good care by Superintendent and Mrs. Wl-&c. Surplus products of the farm were sold as usual, the retu nis being considerably in excess of t1e previous year. The house has been slated, and during the canihig year the bani should be slated, the shed covereel with composition paper and 1,111 the buildings ptunted, Police It is with deep regret that we report the untimely deaths, duning they recent epiden-de, of two of our niost efficient patrol- 18 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT men. John J. Clifford and Daniel Igoe; their Im to the depart- ment will be felt for a long tinie. The work of the department has been further handicapped by the continued absence, of three regular xnen, in the GDvern- Ment service. It is hoped, however, that these mien may soon be released, and return to their old positions. Afiicii sickness am. ong the members, together v;zth added duties, due to the war, and epi(lemlc, helped to create a difficult situation, wiiich was met with a patriotic spirit and readiness by the whole department, NN:Ihose cffarts hereby receive our conmie nation. Under these conditions, it was deemed advisable to purchase a xnoterc;ycle, which was put in operation in July, and iAth which Patrolman Daniel Igoe rlid very effecthre work in aegu- latitig motor traffic, policing of gardens and orchards, and ter- ritory which otlaer%Nise must have been left entirely unpro- tected. There has been a very noticeable decrease in the number of arrests for drunkenness, but a considerable increase in the number of arrests for larceny. . One of the two vacancies in the force was filled shortly before the €osie of the year, by the appointment of Henry Doherty. G. FREDERICK ROBINSON, BERTRAhrI P. ELLIISO , CURTIS W.

Hanorcabic Board of Selecimm. L,en.-Mien Having been appointed by you Town Camel. for the year 1918, 1 beg to subrait my report. During the year the munbear and variety of matters which have come to my attention as the,legal adviser of the Torn have so newhat increased, as naturally should be expected from the growth in the population and activities of the Town. All claims for damages of whatever nature have been referred to me and I have appeared in all Chart actions and suits in behalf of the Town., and filed such pleadings as have been considered necessary. I have advised the various departments, wheiicwer consulted by them, as to their powers and their duties. llanv contracts have been drawn and such by-laws and regulations as have been adopted by the Town in the past year have been drafted by me and all bands have been approved as to form. I have met%6th the Board of Selectmen at their weekly meetings and have attended meetings of various 00=nittees of the Town, a.nd have endeavored to assist whenever called upon. Several bills have been drafted by me in lxhalf of the Town to be presented to the Legislature, and I have attended many legislative bearings wherever the interests of the Town have been involved. A bill for the construction of a new water main by the Metropolitan Water Board was presented by me to the Legislature and favorably acted upon and the new main has now been constructed, thereby increasing the supply of grater in the Totem, which was a very mtnch needed improvement. I have attended hearings before commissioners of the State upon matters affecting the interests of the Town, the chief anion# which was the hearing., to compel the Edison Electrical Mun i=- nating Con1pany to comtruct underground conduits for its wires in North Bcacon Street. The petition for this work was opposed by the Ellison Company, but the Gas and Electric Light Coat- Y �� 30 "WAI'LRTOVi'N TOWN REPORT Iti.ission acted favorably upon it and the Nvork was ordered to be done. Many deeds, releases, easements and other like docu- ments have been drafted by Ire and all land corurt matters have had my attention. During the year a Fill hi equity-, brought by Abram L. Howard against T. Jamcs Gallagher and the Town, to reach and apply the salary- of said Gallagher as an assessor of the "root n, was tried, and resulted in the bill being dismissed by order of Court. Six appeals by the Oakley Country Club for alleged excessive assessment upon its land and buildings by the Board of Assessors, which were pendllicy at the beginning of the near in the Superior Court of -Middlesex County, are about to be dismissed by agreement of the panics. These appeals cover a period of several years, and an agree Qnt to dismiss has been made upon a small abatement being made by the Board of Assessors of the assessment for the taxes for the year 1917. Pending Litigation Honorable Board. of Selectmen: Tliere are now pcnding against t1w Town the following actions and suits: 1. A.lrrnira T. Cooke, action for mjeu-iea c:lairn d to have been received while traveling on Galen Street. 2. Daniel Kelley, el ak, three actions for injuries alleged to have{been rceeived while driving on Arlington Street. 3. The scut of Joseph V,IcBlroy and his father, Benjamin H. McElroy for injuries sustained while traveling in an automobile along Galen Street on August 18, 1916. .Inasmuch as, in my opinion, the Boston Elevated Railway Company is responsible in these suits I have given propel- notice to the Boston Elevated Railway Company to appear and defend the same. 4. A bill in equity brought by Mary B. Horne for an in- junction and damages arising frown alleged drainage into the cellar of her building on Main Street, known as Barnard Block, claimed to be waters from the water pipes belonging; to the Town. This suit has not yet been tried and it is likely it will be settled without trial. . Petition for land d,aInage i of Emma C.

Respectfully, WESLEY E. MONK, Town Gmtnsel. REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE To the Citizens of I 1'alerlcwn. Your Cominittee has carefuliv considered the estimates sub- rnitted by the various Town departi-rents for the ensuing year, togetlier Niith the articles in the warrant which call for appro- priations, and herewith submits its report. In compliance with the request of I.-Iis Excellency, the Gov- ernor, backed by every agency of our State and National Governments winch have in charge the prosecution c)f war wark, it has been olir endeavor as far as 1)ossible to limit expen- ditures for this year to necessary work- No argument.is aeeded to prove that the ordinary expenses of living have steadily - mounted during thcqe abnonnal times. The task of supporting the Nvar, as all realize, is a mighty one, the burden of which already is felt in every household and the end is not yet in sight., More than ever, then, 1-111'st we conserve our resources, TD this end the co-operation of every citizen is needed. Projects which find favor at another time must stand aside now tinti I t I,e jv,-tr is won. Oux standards of elficiency shall not be lowered mean- time nor shall civic bride suffer, and we shall haN,e the satis- faction, too, of doing sainething to aid the great cause for which the heart of the Nation is beating and its treasure is being spent. North Beacon Street Only two large items for special work have been approved, namely, forty thou nd dollars ($40,000) for continuing the widening and reconstruction of North Beacon Street, and eighteen. thousand, six hundred dollars (si.S,C)OG) for the new High Service Water Connection through North Beacon and �krsenal Streets. Both of these projects are of sufficient im- portance to warrant this immediate outlay. North Beacon Strect —a most important main artery— leas been closed to traffic for nearly a year and must remain so until the recon- struction is Completed. Its proximity to the Federal Arsenal, 32 FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT with �11 Lhe tremendous )tsar actin-its' naw centering there, rnake,, it a highly important thoroughfare just at this tirne, and it is likely to become even more so as Government plans develop. It is understood that a fuxth(,r appropriation of appro-."willately thirty-five thousand dollars(35,L 00)will lie needed to complete the, constvaction. The, Conamittee believes that this work should go forward row, but before the final surfacing is undertaken we believe the Boston Elevated Railway Company should be required to lay a double-track line from Beacon Square, Watertown, to the Boston line, in accorcLince v6th the tern-is of its franchise on the street, If positive assurance- can be had from the Company iNithin the next few months that this will be done when the street is midy for it the final appropriation could be made at 2:3 long-awaited public a lator meeting and this very desirable ai-id long-a irnproverne-rit would soon become a reality. The County of Middlesex has agreed to contribute twenty- thousand dollars (.520,000) towards the cast of the work when completed, so in figuring the To-w-n's total investment in this project that deduction may be kept in view. New Water Service one of the most important projects to come before, the Town Meeting in many years is embodied in the proposal of the Water Commissioners to establisli a new High Service Connection with the MtAropolitan Water Supply entering the Town at thlo new North Beacon Street bridge. A twen", (20) Inch main direct from the Commonwealth Avenue Main Supply Line will connect with a new sixteen (16) inch main at the Watertown side of the new bridge, thence continuing up North Beacon Street to School, over School to krsenal, where connection will be made with the ten (10) inch inain recently laid on Arsenal Street, east of School Street. The plan provides also for the replacement of the six (6)inch pipe on the easterly end of Arsenal Street below the Hood Rubber Gatc, with a new W11 (1.0) ine1 ii-iain. The adoption of this plan gives the Town protection of an additional source of supply,Insuring both vol-Lime-ancl pressure 34 WATER.TOWN 'TOWN REPORT sufficient to €meet the rapidly increasiiig demands of the large GDvernmerit and manufacturing development in the ,east end of the TD-"m, while at the san-te time properly safegiia.rding and mpplying- the 1€igh areas to the worth and west, Representa- tives of our CWTunittee have acted in conjunction with the Water Commissioners acid the Metropolitan TVater Board in the attempt to reach a solution of this every important problem and the progress so far made is very gratifying. If this step could he followed up by a compreliensive expert study of our present layout v6rith a view to the further improvement of the local ser"°ice we believe that the resialts obtained would be profitable to the To-�%n. The appropriations recomi-iQnded for all purposes total seven hundred eighty-seven thousand, three hundred twelity-five and eighty-seven one hundredtb% dollars (:Vr$7,325.S7). Of this sum the North Beacon Street vMeuing appropriation and $14,000 of the appropriation for the New High Service water connection could be borrowed—a total of fidty-four thousand dollars 04,QUO). In estimating the amc€€nt to be assessed we make rise of the kolloudnn figures: Balances Available Unexpended balances, $2,636 29 Betterment accounts, 1,000 00 Arliag-Lon Street drain, 4 99 Betterment street construction, 62 K) East End Scheel, 80 76 Fire Department combination, 55 25 Grading South Side Scho ol, OJ 93 Plans East End Fire Station, 200 00 Lowell Av entie, resuTf'aCiMg, 1,700 00 Lowell Avenue, sewer, 1,7CO 00 77,440 10 Estimated Receipts Water income, S1.00,000 (l0 Bank and corporation tax, 70,000 00 FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT 35 Poll taxes, $10,000 00 Miscellaneous. 30,000 00 10,000 00 May be Borrowed North Beacon Street, N�idening. $40,000 00 Water, High Service Connection, 14,000 00 54,000 00 Total, 5 ,000 00 r341,440 10 This would leave to be assessed upon the I).vlls and estates tl,.e stun of four hundred fort--five thousand, eight hundred eighty--five and seventy-seven one-hundredths dollars ( 445,- 885.;;.) Our 1917 valuation was twenty-two million, one hun- dxr,d ninety thousand dollars ( 22,190,000). The falling off in personal property taxes because of the operation of the new income; tax law, together %%rith the cessation of building opera- tions caused by war conditions, kept the increase; in total prop- erty valuations far below- the normal. This rear, for the sane reason, the increase will be smaller ►,ret. If the Town Meeting should adopt the recommendations of this report the tax rate for 1918 with the probable increase in State taxes would be approximately twenty-one dollars (821) —a rate high enough for these times when all ether demands upon our citizens are considered.

Of the total stun appropriated. more than one-sixth (1-6) —.8124,939.74—is for State and County taxes, and the assess- ment upon us this year will be higher still.. The installment on Our debt payable this year is ninety-six thousand dollars ( 96,0G0) and for interest we shall require forty-six thousand dollars ( 46,000). The three items together will account for about tivelve dollars ($12) of our tax rate. The State and County taxes we cannot control, but the other burden, which is increasing each year and froze which we gel: no ade- quate return, can be lightened only by approaching nearer a pay- as-you-go policy. Of the other large itcins the,outstanding figares are one hundred thirty-seven thousand dollars (6137,- 000) for highway, sewer and lighting pnurposes, and one hundred thirty-two thousand dollars. ( 132,000) for educa- tion. Every thoumnd dvllazs added to the estimates recommended %611 mean an additional five cents (,Q.;0,65) on the tax rate.

Otherwise. the Coirayiittee believes that the Co-operative Milk Inspection Service Plan tried its Watertown in 191=4 and still in use in nci lei orin ; tawns should be adopted for this y.car. C —Committee recommends that the cost of inaintenance and operation of this truck be kept and that a practical study of results obtained from its use be made with a view to gather- ing data which will enable the ToNvia to determine its suture attitude in rql and to the use of rnotor apparatus in its street departments.

To see if the ToNvn ,.wilt purchase a tract of land adjoining its grravcl bank on Pleasant. Street, appropriate the necessary money therefor, or act thereon. Re==end that the Selectmen be instructed to purchase for the flown the tract of land on Pleasant Street, oast of the. present Toi�m gravel pit, shown on the Assessors' inap as lots one (1), two (2) and three (3), section eight (8), Mock mine (9), containing one hundred twenty-four thousand, one hundred forty-six (124,I46) square feet of land, and that for the purpose of paying thecost thereof the :suiii of eight thousand, two hun- dred twenty and thirteesl one-hundredths dollars ($9,220.13) 1)e appropriated, this amount to be paid from the tax levy, for the year 1918. The Town Engineer estimates that this lot con- tains seventy-two thousand, twenty-four (72,0 4) cubic yards of good gravel, This would make the fiat cost to the Totiti� approXIMately clever and four-tenths cents (A0.11 4-10) per cubic yard. The advantage of being table to pro ne gravel of goad quality, at a reasonable price, within our own borders, at a tune when deliveries from outside are both expens`ve and uncertain seems to be sufficient to sta rti) this as a good business proposition for the Town. Article 14.

Recommended that the fallowing sums be appropriated to pay the cost of such construction, viz.: Langd.on Avenue (Article 25) onne thousand dollars ( 1000); Carver Read and Career Road East (Article 26), twenty-two hundred seventy dollar; ( 2274), Clyde Road (Article 27) six hundred dollars ( 000); and that these sums be assessed upon the palls and estates for the year 1918.

The Selectmen have reported to us that this matter is not in shape to be acted upon at this tune. We, therefore, recommend no appropriation. Article 31. To see if the 'Town will appropriate an additional sum of money to pay the cast; of % dening Lind constructing North Beacon Street, direct how the same shall be provided or act thereon. Tetition of North Beacon Street lVidenin,g Com- rnittee.) R.eeormraended that the =u of forty thousand dollars (840,000) he appropriated for the purpose of continuing the widening and reconstruction of North Beacon Street and that this sum lie I-)orrowed upon the notes or bonds of the Town in accordance with the proNrisians of the Municipal Finance Act. Health Department Investiga.tiota of the affairs of the Health Department n- firtnq the belief expressed by the Finance Committee a few r,NANcE comivaTTEE REroRT 5+3 years ago that conditions demand the employment of a Health Officer who will give all his time to the weary. The Committee understands and appreciates the difficulty the Board of Health has had in finding the right man. It is important enough, however, to call for continued vigilance on their part until their quest is rewarded. The temporary division of the agent's work between the Inspector of Plumbing and the Superintendent of Cemeteries cannot work out in practice any better than it sounds in theory,and the combination is not a happy one. The appropriation for Milk Inspection is intended to provide for real inspection of every dealer who does business within the confines of the Town. Sala.iies Requests for increases in pay have coine from nearly every department. These have received most careful consideration. We appreciate thoroughly the viewpoint of the petitioners and have tried to meet the requests An a, spirit of fairness to alt, including the tax payer already sorely burdened. The recommendations of department heads were heard, investigation was made as to what other municipalities paid and comparison was made Frith the work of other Town em- ployees in the endeavor to he just to all. Efficiency, length of service, responsibility, and hours of service, as well as living and warldng conditions generally, were all give due weight. Grade teachers and clerks in surn,+e departments received sub- stantial increases last year. They vmre, therefore, clitninated from further consideration. 'Tovnm laborers were gated vaca- tions and an increase in wages last year. The matter of over- time and Sunday work for these employees can.be taken care of in the proper way within time regular appropriations. Payment for holidays to Town employees who work on a per diem basis could not be approved. This would be a step far in advance of any municipality or business where, such labor is employed and the practice would be attended with such complications and inequalities as to make it most harmful in practice. It was claimed in behalf of police officers that owing to sick- ness and the absence of members of the department enlisted 54 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT in the service of the United States, much overtime work had been required. That, of course, is a temporary situation and, is one of thy: incidents of police service every-where. Moreover, the three-shift system was established for this department only last year, reducing the regular hours of service. Nevertheless, a partial increase is here recommended. Summing up, therefore, the following scale of increases is recommended, viz.: F High School and special teacher's, grammar school principals school and police janitors, firemen, policemen and department clerks are &riven straight increases at tb(: rate of one hundred dollars ( 100) per year, in addition to such normal advaiwe as they might be entitled to in approaching a depal trnent maxi-- nYusn previomly established. In the case of special police, a flat rate of three dollars (83) per day is recommended and bath the znin.imum wed the maximum► are raised in both the Police and I+'ire Departments. Department heads recommended for increases include the Chief of Police, Chief of Fire Department, Auditor and.Superin- tendent of Streets, two hundred dollars (8200) each; Inspector of '%Fires, one hundred fifty dollars (3150); Town Clerk and Clerk of Selectmen, tree hundred fifty dollar's (8350) Superu-itendent of Schools, one hundred dollars ( 100); Tree Warden to three and seventy-five cane-hundredths dollars ( 3.75) per day. All of these departments have grown in size and ill responsi bility skice the present salaries were establishd and it is felt that the margin of difference between the salary of the head of the department and the subordinate members is greater than the present schedule shows. Segregated Budget Attention must again be called to the absolute requirement that departments shall live i6thin their appropriations and that Money appropriated for a particular piirpao e shall not be ex- pended elsewhere. This should be say even though the vote is not always so tightly drawn as to preclude any departure from FYNA CE {CC7MMITTLE REPORT a5 its plain language. The moral obligation to can-v out the plain intent of a vote should he equally as binding as the studiously stringent legal requirement. 'Ilie segregated budget system which has }peen in use since the Town adopted the by-laws creating the Finance Committee is not the whIM or the hobby of any particular individual or body—beast of all of the members of the present Cor=ittee. It is provided for in the By-Law and follows the saggestion of the expert xvho investigated our ancient system of accounting, pointed out its pitfalls and outlined the course which ,safe and acenra t;e municipal financimg inight take. His suggestions are sunu narized in these words taken from his report, which might well be leapt in mind by every official charged with the expendi- ture of the Town's msoxxey: " A. clear system of accurate aceounts is the foundation upon which intelligent management of the Town's affairs from year to year must rest. Any system shmild, of course, make it plain than all money to which the Town is entitled has been received, and that all which has not been paid out for duly authorized purposes is still on hand; but a really good systems must do a great deal more than that. Anionl other things, it Tn st enable citizens to see just That has been done-with their money, and to control future expenditure; it must make it easy for heads of departments to present detailed estimates of prospective expen- ditures, which should be the basis of every considerable a,ppro priatian;it must enable those charged with the duty of spending . appropriations to ascertain promptly whether any specific item of expenditure proposed is warranted by the condition of the appropriation, and to check unwarranted expenditure it must enable the responsible officers of the Torn at all times to take a cornp:rehensive view of the Town's finances, that proper steps may be taken for providing gays and ineans, and that the annual budget may be wisely prepared; it must. enable those who direct the policy of the Town to compare readily from year to year the receipts from similar sources."' This and the Town By-Laws v%,hich defia to the duties of the Finance Committee are the guide by which our course of action is shaped... 5 WAT.ERT{17G-N "I'0WN REPORT Our purpose and our desire at all times is to keep within these well marked bounds, to be impartial acid just to all.

Liquor Laws The Town appears never to have been more free:from liquor violations than at the present time. while a few complaints have becn made indirectly to this department, the mnplaints upon investigation have been discovered to be %without founda- tion. In other cities and towns, this division of police Nvork usually presents several eases of violation of the liquor laws. x- REPORT OF CHIEF Or POLICE . 61 WatertoiNrn is perhaps cleaner, in this respect, than other towns m the state. Recon=endations The efficiency of the police department could be greatly increased if a small totuing car would be parchascd. The de- mands for the same are constantly increrL5ing. This type of a vehicle would be of vast assistance in helping the department to niore closely fallow cases where time iucans much. In General A lame nwnber of cases have been handled by the Inspector during the past year. Our records show that his work has been rewarded by the recovery of a lame iiii0 ant of property,and the apprehension and conviction of many offenders. He has been zealous and untiring is the work confided to him, and has rendered the Town valuable service. The inifluertza, epidernic has removed frown the ranks of the patrolmen two efficient officers, whose places it will be difficult to fill. John J. Clifford was appointed to the police force in April, 1012, and continued -pith the department until December 10, 1918, when he died as a result of influenza. Daniel E. Igoe was appointed a police officerAtigust 11, 1916, and continued with the department until December G, 1918, when he also died from the saute cause. The,work of both Officers Clifford and Igoe was always of the highest standard, and them` efforts tomard protecting the in- terests of the citizens of Watertown will long be remembered. The records of the department show that they were many times. called upon to perform duties which reriuired courage and fearlessness of the highest order, and their ability to attack and eoniplete dangerous problems math€nt personal. fear Etas always been an example to their fellow officers. Conduct of Officers Regarding the manner in which the officers have conducted themselves dming the past year, I am pleased to report that their conduct has been conunendable. I think they deserve a great deal of credit for the able manner in which they performed their duties d-Liring the year. They have been iigilant and attentive to their duties and have cheer-fully responded to all calls n-Lade upon them for extra sere,-ice, an(, I sincerely extend my thanks to them for the cordial support they have given me durin; the year. Conclusion Ia submitting my report I Nvish to extend my sincere thanks to Bertram P. Ellison, co ttee on police, to Judge Abbott and the clerk of court William J. Bannan for the courtesy and .consideration shown to the Bodice department, and all others who have so Idndly no-operated with me in the performance of the duties of ruy Office.

REPORT OF THE CFMF OF TIM FM DEPARTMENT To dw Honorable Board of Seledmen: I herewith submit the folloning report for the Fire Depart- ment for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1.918. Manual Force The total membership December 31 is twenty-eight men, classed as follows: One permanent chief, one pemianent captain, one permanent engineer of steamer, thirteen permanent privates ,2ssgrned to companies, ane call striker, eleven call ladder and horse ttaen; total, sixteen permanent and twelve Full men. The various pieces of apparatus are all in good condition and have given entire satisfaction during the year. Early in the year I realized it wDuld be impassible to conduct they departnicict within the appropriation ovAng to the un- expected and unnsua,l advance iu thu cost of hay afid gain. After careful co nsideration'it was decided ad-kfiisnble to dispose of three horses and purchase a chassis for the horse-drawn hose. wagon. A satisfactory chassis was purchased at a cost of eleven hundred. dollars. The work of changing over from horse to moor was all done by the men a.t the central station with, a cast only of material used of about thirty-five dollars. This investment has proven a, happy` solution finan- cially because, ! believe, had the change not been made we would ha'%xe exceeded our appropriation some six hundred dollars, whereas by (join;; this we have not alone kept %ithin the a.p- propriation, but we have returned to treasurer receipts five hundred and forty-five dollars £er sale of horses and wagon parts. For the year 1919 this changr; enables us-to cut. our appropriation at least one thousand dollars the cost of keep- ing three horses—and provides another man for fire duty at all times, as he will no longer have to stand by to care for his horses. This wagon, since the change, has done a mat amount of work we would not expect to do with horses and in doing so it has 63 654 WATT RTow"* TOWN RBPORT enabled nee to keep in quarters the heavier, more expensive, and more Cully equipped apparatus, affording the Town the best fire protection we could render with the apparatus we now have. As stated in s -ty report of last year the apparatus is undermanned. The efficiency of the call farce., as Will be shown further on, has deteriorated to such a degree that in my opinion but little reliance can be placed upon it for work at fires. It is not goad judgment to provide the Town vkrith the lest of modern fire fighting equipment, and when we are called upon to use it, find we have not enough men to handle it successfullY. My reason for not asking for more seen last year was 'because of financial conditions and the apparant falling; off in building construetion, but regardless of these things the work of the Fire Department slid not decrease any, but increased, as nay record of alani s will show. For this reason I do not; bcl%eve it advisable to lout off the appointment of additional permanent Yuen any longer. I reconmiend that four persi-ta-aent men be added to the department this year. The pennanent force should increase as the Mark of the department increases, particularlyr so, when the call force is no longer made up of rnen who live and work in the vicinity of the fire stations. During the past two years the call pay has averaged from four to five dollars per lic ur, provided the men a.nswercd every alarm and were present from the time the alarm sounded until the all-out signal was given, which was not so. These -wages are no inducer-Lent ex identlyr, because it has been impossible to keep the call force uP to the full quota. During the past year the call men were required to answer eighty-five bell alarms, while the perinanent farce tools care of one hundred and eighteen alarms in addition.. It appears to arse, therefore, that the sooner the entire department is made permanent the better it Will be for the Town During the past year we have not discarded as much hose as usual and I believe we can get along -r%,ith the purchase of five hundred feet this year, which I reconu-nend unless an additional motor combination is purchased, which of course should be equipped. I recommend the purcliase this year of another combination of the same type as Engine Two. This will complete the anotorization of the department: and should provide enough RBPORr OF FIRE L)LEPARTIMENT 65 apparatus for a few gears to conne. The steamer is in good condition and could be placed in reserve to be toned to fires, ff needed. The experimental stage for motor fire apparatus has long passed: mangy, places all about us are entirely motorized and meeting with successful operation. The cost of maintaining the steamer should be taken into consideration. During 1913 it cost one thousand, one hundred twenty-six dollars and thirty cents (81,1.26.30) to operate, no allowance tieing made for veterinary services It was only necessary to use the steamer at one fire in Watertown and once out of Town. fn addition, it requires the sen�ces of three: risen at all timer at a cost of two thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars. Six automobiles in the department cost six hundred thirty- eight dollaas and thirty-five cents to operate during 1918 and every man was available fDr fire ser}zce. At the most, only one man is necessary- to operate a. pruiip when in use, wbich did not occur during the past year. For these reasons I believe it is ad- visable to motorise the department as soon as passible. Fires and Alarms During the year the department has responded to eighty-five bell alarms., and one hundred eighteen still alarins, a total of tivd hundred three alarms, this being a record for alarms in a single year. The largest, previous year was 1915 which had a total of one hundred fifty-four alarms. As last year, carelessness and negligence, are responsible for at least eight-fire per cunt of all fives. More fires occurred within buildings than any previous year. We have had no great lasses, but with so many fires, each contributing its share to the total, I am pleased to report that the losses remain non-A- nal. The largest individual loss $4,926.82 was the result of care- lessness, due to an overheated electric iron.

The results obtained the first year the regulation was en- forced are gratifving. An unusual at7lount of sickness and injuries, enlistments iu the service of the country and ether causes prevented to a certain extcnt as rigid a campaign daring the year as formerly, but all time possible has been given to this important work. Two new hazards --kerosene heaters ,and cooking staves, and electric heaters, have given the departineat much trouble, and have been the cause of surprising losses. Where these are used they should always be kept in sight, as they are extremely dan- gerous when neglected.. During the year we have had three fires caused by the electric iron, in each case the persons using there left their homes n ith- out turning off the current, fires resulting, and when discovered from outside, were wader good healway, with the result that our largest indMdua,l lass this year was ca.ttsed by the eIect,rie iron. ,As last yeas I appeal to all citizens to assist in the work of preventem, fires; report '.:Inv condition you deem Iiable to create or increase fires. This department is ready to assist in having any dangerotts conditions corrected. In closing, I thank your Honorable Board for your co-opera- tion and assistance; also those citizens of the Town who show a willingness to assist us at all tinier. I desire to thank the departments of Newton, Waltham, Behmont, Cambridge,bridge, and Boston, for their hearty co-operation and assistance.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF POLES AND WMES Januarys 2, 1919. To the Honorable Board of Sel6c0nen. Gentlemen: I herewith submit the report of the Pales and Wires Department for the year ending December 31, 1915. Maintenance 'Atires, cross-arms and boxes wipre transferred to new pole set in by the Edison. Electric Tllunuinnating Company and the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company, on the follow- ing streets Nichols Avenue, between Melendy Avenue and Arlington Street. Arlington Street, near East Watcrtown Depot. Bigelow Avenue, between Elton Avenue and Mount Auburn Street. .Spruce Street, Myrtle Street, Cuba Street, Orchard Street, Common, Street bill, and Spring Street, between Fayette Street and Suininer Street. Five fire-alarin boxes and three tappers were transferred to new locations. New cross-arms were put, up and wires run on ht rch Street, between Fayette and Winter Streets, to cut over part of No. 4 circuit to the station circuit. This was done to lighten the No. 4 circuit, which was overloaded. This change relieved the No. 4 circuit of sirx fire-alarm boxe% four tappers and five and one-half miles of wire. In the Fire Station seventy-- five new jam and elements were added to take care of extra wires, and old elements were replaced with ne-w. All the lines were, thoroughly gone over, decayed crass-arms removed, slack wires pulled up and the wires insulated to pro- tect them against tree grounds. Fire, police and cable boxes were cleaned, painted and inspected frequently to maintain hood running [order. 6 68 WATERTOWN Tf}WIti RE,PORT House Inspection There were not as many new houses to be inspected during the year 1918 as in 1917, but a great many old houses were wired and each ].louse required several inspections before the work was completed. The houses in the Foss land district required a great deal of attention. The wiring in a number of them was completed and the houses prepared for occup,ncy. In many cases the original Nviring had been tampered Nvith and tangles had to be straightened out before the iiriring and fix- tures could be final];-gassed. This condition still prevails there. New Construction "sizes Avere run and cross-arms put up in Thurston Road, between Riverside Street and Charles River Road for the in- stallation of a new tapper. Six pales were set, cross-arias put up and wires run between the Webster Lumber Company plant on Waltham Street and the Bransene Company mill on Stanley Avenue, for a nee= fire-alarm box on Stanley venue. The box was also installed, ' Tha Town wires Nvere put underground on a. section of North Beacon Street. Owing to the shortage of labor this work was done under difficulties, but the underground system is no,;v in working order there. All the old overhead v6res have been taken down and the New England Telephone & 'Telegraph Company has been notified that all -v�rires have been removed fron-i their poles on Arsenal Street between Taylor Street and Patten Street, and they have been requested to remove their unused poles. In addition to the regular maintenance appropriation for the year 1910, I recoT=end an appropriation for changes in the signal circuits on Coolidge Hill Road, Mount Ariburn Street between Prentiss Street and Cotta.t;e Street and on Belmont Street between Sycamore Strut and Harrington Street, in order to shorten the distances in these sections and thereby lighten the loads on the circuits. These changes and inprovem+ents could be made at an approximate expenditure of $609. We should also have three keyless doers for the following boxes: one at the darner of Galen Street and Hunt Street, pane at the REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF POLES AND WIRES $9 corner of Main Street and Green Street and one at the corner of Main. and Howard Streets. 'These doors could he purchased for about $125. The Pole-s and Wires Department does not possess sufficient tools and I am frequently obliged to borrow. It often happens that the equip pent cannot be loaned at the time needed, and consequently tI a work of the department is delayed and hin- dered. I reconiniend the purchase of the following tools for this department 4 post Bole shovels. 4 past hale spoons. 2 cant hooks. 1 swivel carrying hook. 1 deadman to rest pales on. 4 digging Bars. 3 tamping bars. digging spuds. 6 plain pale pikes. This outfit would cost about $132. Respectfully suhmitted, PATRICI� J. V AHEY, I f zs pee oar. REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDIXGS Watertoi%7n, Nllass„ ja.ntui i-ti. i .

After the preliminaries, six inches of gravel frvzrn our Pleasant Street pit was spread and rolled; depressions were taken care of, and then asphalt oil, at the rate of one gallon to the square yard, was applied by a presmre machine. The work wascompleted by putting on a ,cohering of screened gravel, and rolling with steamroller until tlxe surface was hard and smooth. With proper care these streets will give good service and they will have the advantage of being, practically dustless. Nichols Avenue Nichols Avenue was rebuilt from Dexter Avenue to the rail- road.. Concrete construction would have been desirable, but; REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 79 this was Ont of the question because before very lone; the street will haaVe to be widened in order to take care of increasing traffic, and cunditions at the railroad crossing ivill have to be remedied. Tar and stone were used in building this street and it will probably last until such time as they Town can see As wad-to make the improvements mentioned. Green Street Work was begun on Green. Street in the late fall. A uniform sideixa,lk was first seared and this necessitated the widening of the street on the easterly side. Permission of the abutters was given to take the l and necessary for the widening of the sidewalk and the rounding of the corners, A drain was laid, and fire catch basins were installed.

Traffic on Belmont Street is riot; heavy and consaquently we see no reason why it should not stand up for years. r s0 13`TERTOWN TOWN >E~EPOkf Street Betternxents Langdon Avellue, Gamer Road, Carver Road East, and Clyde Road were built under the " Bettement Act " in re- sponse to a petition from the abutters. Before the construction of these: streets ivas begLui event vacant lot was connected Nvith the sewer, vmter and gas mains, and all necessary drains and catch basins were installed. The construct oii is of gravel, and this Departnicat intends to give these streets a blanket, coat of ail as early as the weather will permit, so that the people living an these streets will not be bothered-with dust this coming siumu#ler. As time goes on we are more and more convinced that it is for the interest not only of the Town but of the abutters as well that all private ways be built under the proVISIons of the " Betterment Act." Mount Aubuxu Street Extension That portion of Mount Auburn Street beMtcen Beacon Square and the Galen Street bridge was in such poor condi- tion that many complaints were received by this Department. There was no appropriatiazi to cover this wank, and fret it was deemed necessary to give some temporary relief from the existing condition. This we did and charged the same to " High-fay aintenance." The read was scarified, some stone and tar were added, and we feel that this treati-nent will suffice until the Town gets around to pLitting dote a pesrnanent pavement.

Gentlainen: The following report relating to work done by this department duiin, the year endin December 31, 1918, is respectfully- sul)rnittcd. Report The office aiid field work devolving on this department for sewers, drainsi, curbing and sidewalks have been done with accuracy and fidelity; the field Nvork requiring most of the time of the outsidc 1fDrce, and the office ,vork consisting of making plans and estimates of cost for proposed work has kept all of the department actively employed. The; Block System plans wHich are used by the Assessors are rewgtuiring a large fart of our attention, and on account of their frequent use the: large sectional plans are becoming wore and damaged anti in a few years a new set will need to be replotted. The efficiency of this department would be greatly increased by the use of better niewis of transportation which would admit of taking inure luggage than is required for a single job of work if street cars are used, thereby saving time isist+ead of retu zfing to they of-Bee for other luggage for another work. There is no Engineering Department in any town or city a.rotmd Watertown without motor trr sportat on. In Belmont the:engineer is paid for the use of his niachhic, Sidewalk Construction—Cranolithic Walks There have been laid during the past year 2,996.30 square feet of granolithic. walks which is charged to sklewalk con- struction, The following table shows the location, the length and i%idth and area of the walks laid.

The sewer which takes the place of the abandoned part is fifteen inches in diameter and from a manhole on the rnaii trunk line near the siphon chamber to a nianhale on the lip-ie of the Govemuiept sewer outside the Arsenal grounds, an(I is laid under the walk ad- joining the Boulevard, a length of 1,319 feet.

The siphon across the river for purposes of self-cleaning was made twelve inches in diameter and while this size of pipe was ade- quate for many years, but the increase of population in this district and the remarkable increase of the activities of the industries Dave been so great that the siphon will need to be increased in sire in the near futiwe.

LEARNED, 4 REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS Watertown, Xlass., January 15, 1919. We here-with submit a report of the work done by the Park Department, covering the year ending December 31, 1918, with recommendations for the ensuing year on Nvlueh we ask -our careful consideration. The Commission met and organized and carefully Iaid plans for the ivorlc to be done. We have endeavored to keep within the appropriation allowed and, at the sarne time, take care of the increased cost of labor and material. Special effort has been made to keep the Larks and deltas in first-class condition. The grass has I)LLen well kept and properly tah.en care of and the weeds removed, and all shrubs have been carefully- trirnmed. The delta at the corner of Belmont and School Streets has been plo%�,ed up, regraded and seeded. This improvement is greatly appreciated by the. abutters. Several trees on Common Street, which were in danger of falling down, were removed. It was also found necessary this year to replace a large number of shrubs which %verse killed by the frost. 1 The Town Field was partially regraded and put in excellent condition. The baseball diamonds at the Town Field and Parlc were in great demand and by issuing special permits all the associations desiring the itse of these gromlds were properly taken care cif. The work of our Superintendent, :llr. Van D. Horton, is to be highly commended. For the ensuiaig year we request an appropriation of 2,285 to coves-maintenance and extra riecessan, work. First. We have asked for a num bey-'of years for an addi- tional appropriation to covet` the cost of a new sidewalk in Saltonstall Park. The sidewalk there is in a dangerous condi- tion and we are veiT apt to have trouble there u iless it: is soon improved. We therefore recon=end for this work an additional appropriation of $700 and we urge that this be attended to immediately. 91 92 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Second. The " owli has not a suitable flagpole and in view of the mairy needs for one, which Nvere brought otit clearly in tht: past year, when we had occasion to fly numerous special flags, we recommend that a flagpole be placed ixt the 'Water- town Square ParlL: ft is only fitting that a Town of our sire and reputatiort should be so equipped. We therefore recommcnd that a large circular concrete base be Placed in this Park and a flagpole, approximately seventy to eighth- feet in height, set therein and a flag, about nine feet by eighteen feDt, put- chased. This work, could be dome at an estitnated cast of S.450. We believe this entire expel c fully warranted and recointnend that the work be undertaken at once. Respectfully submitted, WALTER A.

Dearing the year 1918 all the Town trees were carefully gone aver and dead branches, which would be a menace to public safety, removed. Branches that appeared to be weak when hanging heavy with ice,were put in a safe condition. OFF several of the streets where the branches of the trees hung low when covered with foliage, the trees were earefully pratie:d and all the lo-vv branches removed. This gave the streets a more unifoa-m appearance and the full benefit of the electric lights. Electric: light N%rires, which go through almost all of the trees, were carefully looked .after, sty that they did no damage to the trees. (Many changes were made in the wires, which necessitated pruning. This is likely to occur whenever a new pale: is set, as the wires are raised a. few feet higher.. Dead and dangerous trees were: removed, and when advisable replaced by new trees. 'Trees that have been planted ou un- accepted streets become a heavy expeiise to the Town when the + streets arc accepted, as they may be planted above or below grade, out of lure and may be of quick lrrowing varieties. The branches also break off during wind storms or when hanging hea-,,-y with ice. The automobile has been the principal cause of damage to the trees, especially the small ones, and many of them have been . injured beyond repair. Careless driving is responsible for most of the damage. This department has kept Within its appropriation. See :auditor's rep or for the expenditures .for the year 1918, Respectfully submitted, VAI!

Gentlonen: Z herewith submit the report of the Moth Depart- raent for the year 1918. Y During the winter and early spring a1L the trees, shrubs, walls and other filaces where the gNtpsy moth egg clusters and the brown-tail Moth nests are likely to be found., were gone over and the nests and egg clusters destroved. The brown-tail moth nests were very scarce, only abGut fifty nests being found and these nests contained very few eggs. The gypsy moth egg clusters were found all over the Towns, but the clusters were not so thick as iii foniier Nears. Rambler rose bushes suffer cousiderably, as they are usually planted close to the house oa up against a latticed porch. The eggs are laid behind the bushes, where it is difhc-tilt to get at then, and in the spring the inoths crawl out and the leaves are badly eaten before thug are noticed. Spraying is the only thing that ea.-n be done after the moths come. out. When the Dgpartrnetit has been notified of such cases they have been sprayed. The tent caterpillar, which is the first to come out in the spring, was less noticeable along our highways. The fall web worm made aii unsightly appearance on some of the trees, fii the late summer months they gather together in a web small branches and destroy- the foliage. The old web shows Up Well when the foliage falls riff the trees. For the ensuing year $2,999 will, lie needed for this Depart- ment. See Auditor's report for 1918 expenditures.

On October first the Board secured the services of leis-. John W, Trapper as Health Officer and Agent of the Board of much experience in the work. His coining should overcome many of the difficulties of the department, that the department 111a�- be properly organized, its records be given that degree of per- manency that public records shotfld have, and the Agent relieved of office work that should be done by a clerk, and that his time and efforts may be devoted to real health work and the proper inspection of food, inillc, food stores, bakeries, restaurants, and cven, other place-where foodstuffs are handled. We, would urge that the Board be given a sufficient appro- prization to employ a clerk. During the year no unusual number of contagious cases were reported, except in the months cf September, October and again in December, when, in coiiii-non with the whole countn,, we suffered from the epidemic of influenza, but when its effect here is compared with its severity in other localities we have much to be thankful for. Much credit is due the several local organizations f6r their unthing efforts and assistance to the department in handling the epidemic.

The wooden gates at the Warren Street entrance at Ridge- la,,,ni Cemetery have been replaced by new iron gate:-, of a neat design, which add greatly to the appearance of the entrance, The question of drainage not having been sci fled. Warren Street is still in a bad .conditiion. The soft r(jad-bed, over which heavy traffic passes to adjacent fatmm, renders it unfit for an avenue to our cemetery, irnmediate action should be ta,l<en to put it into shape suitable for the passage of funerals, and private vehicles into the gates of Rittgelawn. It may be necessary to replace sonata portions of the ledge that stuToAuads the cometery on tiA!o sides, parts of which Avere killed during the severe weather of last iA-i ter. ?arrangements are pat-tially r-aade to provide a Waiting Station 'which is much needed at Ridl elawn Cemetery. Sixty-fotir (64) graves in Section P in Common Street Ceirie- tery, which had sunken so as to become unsightly, have been raised and levelled, and are now in a neat and proper condition:. A part of the central avenue in Can-iinon Street Cemetery is flooded r) Llw depth of six iur-hes after a heavy shower, and is aln-Lost ihnpassable at such times, a surface of ,gravel would probabjy Imt it in condition to last a long time. Special.care was given to the upkeep of the cemeteries during the.pa"'t s atni n ear, but it was necessai-r to abandon much of the work lbat was contemplated, an account of the unusual demand can our time, and the scarcity of help during the autumn.

To the Hoiiorable Board of Seleconen, Gandeux-n: Following is my report as Town Physician for the year ending December .31, 191 S. On account of the recent epidemic of Influenza the number of calls has greatly increased. We have on our Outside Aid list thirty-five families in which there has been a great deal of sickness. There are,tAventy-five Mathers'Aid families which re- quire much of my attention. In comparison with other years, the work has increased to more than four times as much. There are two patients at the Gordon I-Ionic, Jamaica Plain., who require the service of a nurse constantly and cannot be taken care of at the Almshouse. The Ah-nshause patients require very little of my time, as they are well cared for, but when one cannot leave his bed it is uccessary to send him to the hospital. 1air9t aid has been given in all accidents among the men wQrking for the Town and cases brought to the Police Station. Respectfully yours. , C. S. EMERSON, M. D.. Tirwn Physician. 108 REPORT OF VETERINARIAN Report for 1919. Examined 912 animals for contagious diseases. Inspected 37 stables for sanitary conditions. A detailed report of same was forwarded to the Department of Am mal Industrv. The horses in different departments have received medical attendance when needed. Respectfully submitted, JESSE T.

GcI dlenzen.- I herewith submit to you rm, report as Town Almoner for the year ending December 31, 191S. Outside Aid Department The ntunber of cases aided through this departinent this year has been r3, a decrease froiii. last near, but the east has increased more than a thousand dollars. T%�,enty-one farnilies and 14 individuals have been given rent, fuel, food or dothing, lb have had hospital care only, of which c) were cases of inruenza.. 3 €aniilies of 3 or 1 children each, both of the parents h61g dead, arcs cared for by relatives at the Town's expense. 2 cases had medicine only. 2 were State Infim-iary cascq. `? are boarded at Gordon Home Hospi- tal, Jaxraaica. Plain._ 6 arc State wards and 5 were burials. The cut--ref toy n settlements are but 9; `? in Newton, 6 in Cambridge, I in Leominster. 19 have no settlement and are State cases. Of those having settleinont in this Toivn, one fmnily lives in Ne-%�ton, one in Cambridge and one in Winthrop. One person is boarded in Waltham and the six State wards are living away fror71 Town. lVe havq been asked to find hoires for children and caretakers for motherless little ones, and our probleniq have been many and varied. .A. Nvord of grateful appreciation is clue the Homeopathic Hospital for the prompt readiness o%,ith which its wards 'V�>ere opened to the M uen7a patients from this Town. Many have been the deaths of father or rnot,her from this dread disease, and many applications for aid oecayse of it. Most of these have been cared for through the Mothers' Aid department. 110 DEPORT UP THE ALMOKER 111 Mothers' Aid Department The nuinber of cases aided through this department has been doubled the past year. 26 families have been supported, 11 of them through the entire year. 22 are now on the looks and several mare are waiting an'adiustment of cltaims before the aid is given, One hundred and twenty children are; in these families now aided and: of that ntin-fiber 13 are endeavoring by their owu labors to help in family supp€ ft. This means careful planiiing on the part of the iothers to feud, clothe and protect the health of their offspring. One mother has died and the children were taken front Town. Two mothers ha-re assunred their own support, and one mother has removeEl to a neighboring town. These are cases now closed so far as Town e-xpense is concerned.

We have also had the benefit of much literature from the Harvard Municipal Research Library, and the committee has attended meetings of the united town meeting form of government in Brookline, and also the 'AFMi chester town i eeting, where a com- inittee has been at work for years attempting to devise some plan which would n-teet the requirements of changed conditions. We have also studied the various plans ill operation in various towns and cities in Massachusetts, and have given two public hearings, which were well attended, one in the. Town Hall and the ether in Coolidge School Hall in the east end. It-vas thought advisable by the coznrrtittee to appoint a sub- committee of five, Mice would get different glans to shape and submit them to the whole committee. This sub-committee has had many inectings. During the year 1917 the Legislature thought it desirable to devise for tcvms, as it already had fQr cities, SOIne general act containing different plans from which towns could select, if they desired to change from their present form of government to a different one by reason of growth or changed conditions. This "CORD OF T13w31-1 IMBETINU 127 was clone because many towns were seeking such legislation, and it -was thought desirable that instead of any special acts there: should be a. geaeral one- Unfortunately, the Legislature referred all of the utters to the present General Court, and there is now before the Legislature a bill designated as House Number 1237, accompanying the petitiOn of Mr. William Roger ' Greeley and others,upon which a hearing was given on Tuesday, March 19, and out of which some gencxal legislation is e%pected_ Some of the connnittee attended the hearing; before the Cum- mittee.on Towns, and their opinion is that the hill in its present form is not quite broad enough in scope, fret could lie made so as to possibly fit the cond.itim s of our ToNvn if we should finally recoinimend seine change. Citizens of Watertown will understand that special legislation, is really- undesirable if it cart be avoided. The }west evidence of this is rthe Winchester case, where last year special legislation was secured and a plan proposed was rejected by the citizens almost tivo to one. We regret that we have not been able to niake more progress„ but inost of then-Lernbers of the committee have been engaged in Nvork in connection %%with the war, which has required a great deal of our thtie. On Tuesday evening ive had a meeting of almost the enure ca=nittee, and it was our unanini-ous ]udg mcnt that we had Better defer attenipt.ing final action until the Legislature had acted upon the bill hen t.ofore referred to, and,, therefore, it is our present intention not to take up until about. the middle of ,April farther discussion of what changes, if any,. may be needed in our present form of govermnent. The conunittee desires to announce that it has adapted resolutions and spread there upon its records concerning the death of one of its members, Edivard N. Clancy. Copies have been forwarded to the mernhers of his f amily.. Respectf ally submitted, JAMES H. VAHEY, Chairman. G. FREDERICK ROBINSON, Secretary. In conjiul tion with Article 17 it was Voted: That the report of the coimrtittee be accepted as. progressive. 128 WATERT(]WN TOWN RE-PORT REPORT OF EXECUTIVE MANAGER OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE Food Conservation Supervision: A:xjx;id11zfres P.

McGUIRE, Executive Manager, Public Safety Commi tee. Report of North Beacom Street Widening Committee Watertown, Mass., March 21, 1918. Your Cormnittee, in its report dated December 31, 1917, as printed in the Annual Report, stunmarited the work thus far carried out in the v4dening and reconstruction of North Beacon Street. It is important that the work of widening and reconstructing this street be carried to caonpletion at the earliest passible date. Your Conunittee is in receipt of ttvo communications from the Commanding Officer of the United States Axsenal, one dated April 6, 1917, and the other dated March 4, 1918, Urging, in the interest of the Government, the early completion of this project. In order that the work MAY be resumed -with the advent of favorable weather and carried to cornpletim this year, an addi- tional appropriation ,should be provided at this time. The balance on hand this date is S17,749 69 Reserved for ward on O'Connell land, 3,500 99 Available for construction ptuposes, $14,249 fig Bstirnated cost of finishing to sulagrade, curling, sidewalks, etc., S18,004 00 Estimated cast of surfa.cirig— asphalt macadam --- Beacon Square to Sehool Street, 24,277 square yards at $1.25, 30,346 00 REcORD OF TOWN MEETINGS 131 {Granite block on concrete lase, School Street, to bridge approach, 9574 ware yards at -1.50, $43,083 00 Total, V1,29 00 Bat-ance on hand avail-able for constructio", 14,249 69 S7 ,179 31 It is to be noted that the estnl.ates for surfacina are based on one czar track being placed in North Beacon Street. The uncial condition of the Boston Elevated Railway Canipany has grown worse rather than letter. The character and extent of relief, if any, to be provided by the General Court are -Lul r- tain. Consequently, t;he'ofticials of the road cannot give your Committee any assurance at this time that a double track °will be laid in North Beacon Street. Ili. view of the unsettled condition of the Street Railway Company's affairs, and pending action in the matter by the Legislature, your Can-flnittee, in concurrence �Ath the recorn-- inendation of the Finance Conaxruttee, asks at this time a sum sufficient for thein to proceed with the work up to the point where track laying may be„Irin, and recommends for this purpose the sum of forty thousand (40,000) dollars. Out of the amount already approlm iatect €car construction your Committee carried out two important unpro ernents not provided for in its original estirnate, vie.: Paving the approach to the now bridge at a cost of 84,84€} 95 Laying an 827-foot, ?zi-inch drain from near Louise Street to School Strict, at an additional cost of 1,500 00 The first-mined expenditure covered the extra cast of granite, black pavement compared to macadam. The Metropolitan Park Commission assumed a proportion of the cost equal to the cost of tar macadwn, which they had intended to lay. The second-named expenditure removes the open drain from the old stock yards crossing the O'Connell land between North Deacon Street and the river, and effects a permanent improve- ment NvIiich the Town daabtlesg later would have to do at a considerable additional cost. It is interesting to note that the contract for the granite 132 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT black pavement on the bridge approach was made at the rate of 33.90 per square yard. All estimates for this character of pavement must now be ,figured at SAM per square yard -- as indication of the increase in cost to be reckoned on if the work is longer delayed. The Committee in its report presented to the Tour Meeting, held October 1, 11J1t , estimated the total cost of widening and construction as'follo-k%Fs: Based on suu-facing iNtitlu asphalt;macadam, $140,000 00 The estimate of cost Herewith submitted contemplates sur- facing%A ith granite blocks on a concrete base that portion of the street south of the Arsenal, between Sc:houl Street and the bridle approach, at a cost approminately 31,000 in excess of the cost of the asphalt ma.cadwn. It will appear, therefore, notwithstanding the increase in cost of labor and materials, the c-\t)ense is close to the estimate presented by the Committee orre and a half years ago. All estimates are lased can doing the work by Town labor. Respectfully submitted, JOIIN A, COLLINS, Chairman, PE RC Y T. SPRA UE, JAI1IES F. MADDEN, G. FRED-ERICK ROBINSON (ex officio), CUR'TIS W.

Warrant and oTicer's return on same were read by Town Clerk William P. 1,IcGiare. Article L To hear the report of any committee heretofore appointed, or take any action relating thereto. Report of Finance Committee To the Citizens of 111aterlown: Your Committee desires at this time to suggest to the voters the wisdom of adhering closely to the policy repeatedly urged by fon-ner Finance Cornr-dttees and very generally sanctioned by the Town Meetings, narnely, that the financial program for the year should be laid out as far as possible at the Annual Meeting, and that special or additional appropriations should not be inacle-, thereafter except in matters of great importance which could not have been foreseen or provided for at that tinie. The Annual Meeting might have foreseen and provided by special appropriation, if it was deemed necessary, the subject matters of Articles 6, 7, 8 and 9. To appropriate now, for these Purposes, sums to be levied upon the polls and cstates for the current year would be a grave departure ircnn our well settled policy and -would he a rnenacv, to our whole financial structure, all out of proportion to any benefit which lTnight accrue to the Tcwn from a special appropriation made noun for this purpose. Moreover, there is ample authority within the several depart- ments to comply with the spirit of those articles. The subject matter of Article 2 seems to be of sufficient im- portance to justify Favorable action at this time. A large Town sewer laid through 'United States Government property at the Watertown Arsenal appears to be endangered by extea- sive imptrovements which the national government is 1-naldn- at this point. It is desirable, in the opinion of the Selectmen, that the sower should reach the siphon at the river by another course. The Cuj=nittee reco=ierLds that this worl-L be author- ized and that the appropriation of 84994.5l be made up by transfer as follows: ]RECORD OF TOWN MEETIItiGS 15 Unerxpend.ed valance, Arsenal :Street sewer, 3694 51 Sidewalk maintenance, 2,000 00 Street lighting, 2,300 00 $4,994 51 In recommending the transfer of the above a.rnount from the appropriation for street li hting, the Committee NvIshes it to be understood that it does not thereby sanction the failure of the Selectmen to make some a.l teziipt to carry out the express vote of the Town Meeting to provide for all-night lighting. As the money has not been upended, how ev. r, and as the spirit of that instruction cannot now be carried out, the Committee boLieves it riser to utFili7e the money thus standing idle in our treasury- than to barrow for the sower at the current high rate of interest. Your Committee advises that no appropriation is necessary at this time under Article 10 and recon-imends indefinite postpone- ment. Your Committee has frequently advised. the Town Meeting in regard to inatters of policy affecting our finances, though no ixnmediate appropriation was sought. Lass or depreciation of revenue, all projects wldch would be likely to increase our appro- priations are matters which concern this Canimittee and the Town vitally. We believe that the sale of any Town land, buildings, water rights, gravel Nanlcs, reserve water supply, etc., should be carefully investigated at all times, and that all our citizens should have fitll and timely warring of such deprecia- tion of our resources before it is cons um-mated. Respectfully yours, F. SARSFIELD CUNNIFF, Chairman Article 2. To see if the Town will appropriate a stun of money to pay the cost of construction of an outfall surer from Arsenal Street to the Charles Ri.-er, provide how the money shall he raised, or take any action relating thereto.

RESOLUTIONS ON TUR DEATXi of HIRAM MCGLAUPLI-N Mr. McGlauflin was a native of Uxbridge, Mass., horn on May 17, 1849, and died 'Septerber 17, 1918. In early life he came to Watertown, where after his schooldays he was in the employ of the Hollingsworth & Whitney Company as its head engineer for mariy years. He served as secretary of the Associated Charities, had been Commander of the Isaac B. Patten Camp Sans of Veterans and was a. Nvork. ng member of the Watertown Hams for Cold Pall-s Corporation. When he calve here, Watertown had about three thousand citizens, less than one-seventh of its present poptllation. He watched it grow. As Town Almoner for se-veral years he dealt justh, with the widow and the orphan, while rigidly guarding the Town's expenditures against waste. In the year 1884 a local LtLNv, and Order League was formed for the purpose of suppressing the liquor traffic in Watertourn. Hiran-i McGlauflin and James IX. L. Goon were appointed special police officers to c3hw.in evidence against and secure convictions, of those persons who in defiance of hv;v continued to sell liquor, It was a r-lost eaticitiiig time, talmost breeding riots, but the movement finally resulted in a complete triumph for no license, which has ever sire been inaintauiod, He was a Tighter against evil in all its Nricious forms and he fough4 the battle to a finish. He ma.dc his own tertns with his foes, these terms being "unconditional surrender I" We, as inliabitants of the Town of Watertown, gladly place upon enduring record our attestation that this is a cleaner, safer and better town to dwell in because of the true and cour- ageous service that signalized his life. By a rising vote, the Town Cleric was instructed to cause the fore-ping to he V itten into the records; of the Town of Water- town and to forward a copy to the fanvly of the late Mr. Mc- +Gla.aallin. rtfcle 1.

This difference U, largely ac- counted for in the cost of constructing retail-ing '�F"lls end grad- ing slopes. All increased expell(litures over estirnates rnax be p.roperly attributed to the high cost of materials and labor prevailing during the. past 3ear. The Nvork done has been carriecl on under the direction of the Street Department, and witb efficiency and econ=iy. That the work of recoiis;truct.iai has not progressed to a greater extent is due to war condit1011s with which all are familiar. The Committee has on hand the sum of S27,205-03, available for continuing the work as. soon as weather conditions pernut, and wc look fom ard. to the conmiletion of the rccvnstruction during the year 1919.

REPORT OF PLAYGROUND COMMISSION To d1:e Honorable Board of Selectinen. Gen loiter The Playground +Comrnission herewith submit the fourth annual report of the work done under their elia.rge. The Commission met May 24, and organized as follows: Patrick H_ O'Halloran, Cha.imian, William W. Norcross, Secretary-. The Saltotistail Playground opened on July 8 and the Cool- idge Playground on July 18, both grounds closed on August 20, 1918. The bathing beach opened on Jule 211 and closed Sep... tember 7. This year the playgrounds have been under the super ision of Francis J. McNamara, it )being his second year as supervisor. The Conimissi€an is entirely satisfied with his work Throughout the season the children displayed great interest in the work, which was evident £rom the quality of the exhibits at the final exhibition. Prizes were awarded for the best ex- hibit in. each branch of the work. The exhibition included basketry, raffia worlc, knitted sweaters, scarfs and socks. The large afghans were. also exhibited aad caused great interest on account of each square tieing knitted by a different child.. The knitted ,articles were presented to the Local Branch of the Iced Cross at the close of the exhibition. The largest attendance for any one day was two hundred and twenty-six boys and two hundred and forty-one girls at Salton- stall Park and one hitudred and eighty-two at the Coolidge Playground. The Commission was handicapped this year in filling the positions of instructors on the playgrounds and, loathing beach, due to the war. The Commission received a. conualunication from the ))Metropolitan Pak Commission on June 12 to open the bathing beach, but it was not until July 29 that we secured a n1an for the Politic 11. 942 REPORT OF PLAY GR(7'N-D COMMISSION 43 jVe- recon-imend that, the appropriation for 1919 he the sa i c as last yeajr.

RLANDY, REPORT OF TOWN PLANNING BOARD The Fifth Annual Report of the Town Planning Board for the year ending Decomber 31, 1918, is herewith presented. A topographical survev of the land west of Cornmon ,'Street to Carroll Street was made, and a layout of streets continuing the plan of Meeting Hou.-sse Hill and adjacent territory presented in last year's report was completed. This plan of territory east. of Conunon Street to School Street and wcsL of Cammon Street to Carroll Street, the largest wid most desirably undeveloped territory- in the Town of Water- town, is herec%rith presctited, givitlg an arrangement of streets ofeasy grades and most direct connection between important points. This entire section has been surveyed and plans showing contour are on file at Engineer's office„ where citizens or others interested may sec them. The opportunities for proper development of this section of the Toi%m are so apparent that some suitable action should be taken by the Town to incorporate the ideas presented in this plan in whole of at least in part, so that undesirable arrange- ment of streets may, be prevented,; and the planning board do herewith xecornmend consideration of and prompt action by. the Town on the plan presented. In April the need of industrial housing for war workers, in the many industrial plants in and about, Watertown seemed so imperative that an organization known as the Charles River Valley Homes Committee was fornied, to exercise supervisory powers over whatever development was undertaken as a relief measure and to work for a developrnent of a permanent nature and with clue regard to continuing the natural beauty of the localities affected. The committee was coml ed of one i-nember from each of the planning hoards of Boston; Waltham, Cambridge, Newton and Belmont, one member from each of the Assessing and Finance Boards of above mentioned cities and towns, one 1-nem- 244 REPORT OF TOWN YLANNLNG BOARD `45 LMii W � 3-,JX I i da.i err ,,, IT t !I _ 1 .,r ,.-�1 I ' I II111 ;� I p1F II Ir Z=o b �g u a La LJ o W A 246 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT r � 1 F, 1 f� f / �w� REPORT OF TOWN PLANNING BOARD 24i ber of the ilrla.ss.achusetts Hn-rnestead C Drr)Mis�irrn, the Com- rnanding Officer of the Watertown Arsenal, and His, Excellency, the Governor of the State. This committee secured much valuable date. and was well equipped to consider this important pzobletn if the war had continued and the reed for housing became more acute. One of the most important recornmendations made to the Depart- ment of Labor, Washington, D. C., was; that the Government should co-operate with the oNvaers to complete and open for occupancy the partially built houses near the Watertown Arsenal. The suggestion would have been carried out had the war continued through the winter. Respectfully submitted, ROBEMT H. WANfIBOLT, Chairi'1 an. FORR.E T J. MAYN AR D, WALTLR L. SNOW, WILLIAM W.

REPORT OF THE ASSESSORS FOR 1918 The past year has presented many unusual problems for this Depart lent, as undoubtedly has been the case with all branches of the Town government. On every side we werermninded that all energies and resources £rain. the Government of the comitry to that of the Toiim and individual must be devoted to the winning of the war. The increased Town appropriations as well as largely in- ereascd State and Catuity taxes indicated at the beginning of the year that the ra.tc of taxes would be much higher than th0 previous year. This increase in the rate has been avoided, btzt much additional time had to be devoted to the wc)rl-. All manufacturing establishments were 'Visited and appraisal of each was given very careful consideration. The necessity of giving to the Board all information franldy, and withuut reservations, was hnpressed upon the officers and uumagers of the different concerns. In nearly every instance we received the information necessary to make a fair and equit- able appraisal, which remlted in very larger- increasing the total value of tangible personal property. All were told that their tax Bills would be larger, so that misunderstandings were avoided. No complaints were made after receipt of tax bills, and all fraction avcrt.ed. The result was a very favorable tax rate of twenty dollars on each thousand. The Assessors have asked for an increased salary for the Board, also for the clerks. Each year the work has greatly increased, and while advances have been made in almost all other departments, the Assessing Department remains the same as it has been for many years. There is a large amount of extra woric to be rune during the next year to bring the Department up to date. This will involve the necessity of devoting a great deal of time, and we feel that the appropriation recommended is itzstified. Respectfully submitted, CLINTON )E. HOLME , CHESTER H.

The notable event. of the past year is the installation of an additional source of supply from the Metropolitan mars. For two years past it had become more and more evident that the delivery through the existing single service from the Newton side was lamentably inadequate both in volume and press-Lire. The very great increase of consumption particu- larly in the manufacturing district at the East End of the Town, and the graining needs of the U. S. Arsenal were being met with difficulty. , But: the most important outcome of this insufficiency of supply was in the diminished pressure on the higher eleva- tions throughout the Town. This had been manifest to a serious degree in the previous year and we had received for -One service had no mea.suremcmt. REPORT OF W-ITER DEPARTMENT some time coritinual complaints frorn the people living in these elevated parts of the 'Tow.n and with much regret and no little anxiety had endeavored to pacify than with promises of expected relief, Now that it has conic we take the op- portunity of thanking them Most sincerely for their forbear- auce under honsehold conditions which were often well nigh intolerable. Our demand for immediate relief was inet by the Metropol- itan Board with a clecision to instal a. new service at the easterly end of the `l own, which should be of same capacity as the existing onc, and so (Iouble the supple besides giving the advantage of a direct dclivery in the section of largest con- sdunption and also relieving the residential districts, which had been the principal safterers. The new supply is effected by a sixteen-mch main entering the Town via, the new North Beacon Street bridge from Drighton. The advantages of this new service are many* and so obvi- ous as not to need description, among them not the least the improvement in fire protection which mighthave been pre- carious in certain contingencies or under adverse circumstances. The needs of the department for the ensuing year are the ordinary ones and call for but little change in the appropria- tions, in fact only such as have arisen from the increased prices of material and, labor which still continue. Assurning that the present prices of material and labor will preclude or at any rate defer general building construc- tion both private and municipal we have not anticipated in ,cur budget any special demands and have asked for only 5(j00 on Renewal of Mains. This matter should not be neglected or sct aside, to be added perhaps as has ba,ppened before to the banded indebtedness which it is our bounden deity to reduce as rapidly as possible. No getter argument can we offer than the facts shown in our report and which should be very welcome to the citizens Of the return to the Town Treasurer of the surplus of our earnings for this past year arnotinting to 811,943.68. ° e request the following appropriations: For construction, 16 WATERTOWN TOWN RI:PORT $13,300, for llvlaintenaneQ, 512,600, and for special work (Te- constructim) S5000.

They invite the careful attention of the people of the Town to the increasing usefulness of the library as shown in this report and to the forward looldng policies of the officials. The unusual needs and expenses of the past year are fully set forth in the Librarian's report. The meeting of these needs has done much to improve the building and the service of the library. Other needs still confront us and should receive early atten- tion. More adequate heating should be provided for the children's room before another winter, and may possibly be semrred by changes in the position of the present radiators at comparatively slight cost. A continual tendency to dampness in this room, how-ever, requires more radical changes. The lighting fixtures in the main room are old and practically Nvorn out. Repairing toes not stop leakages of gas for any considerable length of time. Experirnelits are now being made Nvith serni-indirect gas lighting and with electric lighting. When it shall have been shown ghat will be the hest system of lighting for this part of the building, the Town should provide, probably through an extra appropriation, fur such a system. Better lighting is also needed in tl he children's roam. It is also hoped by the Trustees that the recommendation of the Librarian re- garding a modern charging desk may be adopted at no very distant date. The Trustees have had their attention called to the question of equipping the high School library. They strongly believe that this should be done. Whether this work is properly a responsibility of the library, to be maintained as a branch library, or of the school department, or whether it may well be 5 6 WATERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY a joint responsibility, are questions upon, which the Trustees are open to more light and .shorild be detenrined, possibly, through friendly joint conference of the two hoards. The expense to the `,'own will not be materially* affected by any of these methods. It would be a fine manifestation of public spirit, however, if any individuals of the To-1Arri, interested in the Iligll School, should be minded to (rive a sum of money for a collection of laraol;s adequate to the Nigh School's needs. This might be done as a memorial of sane person or persons. Attention is called to the fact that the fine oil painting caf X,Tj-. Whitney, the late librarian, �%Fhich has hung for some years in the main roam of the building, is still the property of the artist, A-1r. jarnes IT. Rattiga,n of our Town. It should be the property of the libranr , but the Trustees do not feel that they can purchase it �Ntithout a special appropriation. This portrait would a6ca make z worthy memorial gift. The library has been fortunate in its staff duxing the. year. The new Librarian, Miss Masters, bass fully met the confident expectations of the Trustees. Her knowledge of library management, and of our library in particular, her enthusiastic interest in her profession, her gasp of principles and of details, and her fidelity to the interests of the work have been amply* demonstrated. The assistants have also rendered faithful and ham o icus service, so that the work has been done with increasing smoothness and e l`oiency. Now that the East Branch is on an assured ,oasis, the Trus- tees think it better to ask that no division be: made in the appropriations bct�Fcen the Main Library and the Branch. Compliance with this request iviil simplify the admii-stration of the ,library. The Tragtees believe that the: salaxies of our capable workers, are still below what the work itself, as well as the necessities of the tinies, demand. I The cost of boobs as well as the need for books, is also greater. For these reasons they respectfully ask the Town for an ap- propriation of 811,700, to be divided as follows: salaries, 6550; books, periodicals, binding, 52 flU; maintenance, 'S2-C (l. In making this request they would reinind, the citizens that REPORT OIL TRUSTEES ! the library is the People's University and that the scope of its operations and its junportance to the welfare of the cormmnnity are constantly growing.

Gentlemen: f hereT%ith present to you the fifty-first report of the library. The year 1918 mt ll never be forgotten, filled as it has been with the greatest events in the world's history. With minds full of any:iety, for those who Nvere taking their part in the great war; with time absnrbed by the in any war-time activities and the reconstruction of hoine life, owing to the mounting cost of living; and with a terrifying epidemic, it would not have been surprising if the circulation of 11hrary books had decreased, }yet in spite of all these things our circulation has risen from 88,470 to 109,354, an increase of 2 .8 per cent. Much of this is due to our East Branch, which was opened in Jane, 1917, as 35,226 books were circulated there. A comparison of the cir- culation at the Main Library and at the East Branch from July to December, 1917, and the same period for 1918, shows that the gain has been about equal in both places® namcly Main Library, 4901, East Branch, �006. The percentage of fiction read has increased somewhat and that probably can he at- tributed to the especial need felt for relaxation. Change in Library Hours For many years we have had demand that the library be open in the 3norrdng, In September we were all€ived the experiment of opening the library front d) A. U. to 9 P. V. It was uncertain whether we could mange a schedule to meet the needs of the public with our limited staff. We found that it could be done =d the chknge of hours was advertised thy: first of November. The change has root with the aplroval. of the public and the library staff as well, since by working some room- ing time they are no longer required to work five evenings a week, as formerly. The children's room is now closed at 6 P. Nz. instead of S P. Nt. 11 12 WATERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY Open Shelves It has bang been our desire to make the shelves accessible to the public. By a rearrangement of the books we have now been able to open the first floor of the stacks to the public. Ihre° still work at a disadvantage, however, owing to the congested area behind the charging desk, where the fiction is kept. The old style charging desk -which necessitates the assistants doing their work standiug, also necessitates thee use of a desk behind it for clerical work.. The space between the shclves and about the top of the w iading stairs is so constricted that many people cannot go to tl7c. Iictioi- sllela es witli conifort. The public have a,ppmeiated the change, however, and Z hope that you will feel that next year you can ask the Town for an extra appropria- tion for a new clear ing desk and, also to make the necessary cl?aii,ge in the fiction shelves. The doer behind the desk should be relaid or carpeted, as it is in a very bad conditi011. Sunday Opening The library in spite of the coal shortage was able to beep to regular schedule except on Sundays. We were open only two Sundays in the Year and it is still a problem whether it would be anise, with the high cost of fuel, to open again at present. The members of the staff were not always warm last winter, but it is a. matter of pride aaith them that while mauiy of the neighboring libraries were obliged to close their doors, this library was closed only on Sundays. The East Branch The circ latioa of 35,225 books, dr 32.2 per cent of the total circulation of the library, glares some idea of the activity of the East Branch. ''4'V'hen it is considered that this is done in fewer hours, �i ith limited facilities and mostly by one person, there can l)e little doubt of the need and Access of the work. Shelv- ing has been added to acconunodate more books, but there was only $221.95 available from the East Branch a.ppropria.Lion LIBRARIAN'S REPORT le�l for looks to add to the pernianent collection, the rest were borrowed from the M'ai_'a Library. It is hoped that there will be a ioint book fund for the Main Library and the East 'Branch and by that method we can meet the demand for books more expeditiously. Now that the majority of the books needed for a permanent collection, in a branch whose shelf room is so lim- ited, have been bought, the demand is for a supply of books at. the 11ain Libranr of such proportion and of such duplication that the interests of the East Branch can lie well looked after. Miss Collins reports: " Larger quarters -will have to be considered in: the immediate future, as the number of people using the re Odin room is out of all propOrtiOU to its cal)acity, especially its the winter months. "There is also some demand can the part of the public for longer hours, the suggestion being frorn 2 until il. Without a regular assistant this is, of course, impossible, but it is a demand that is slowly and steadily growing, and one that must be ;giveT3 consideration before another winter.." The Childrera's Room There has been little change in the work with the children, but an effort has been made to make their room, more attractive by the reanoval of the large engravings and,the bronzing of the gas textures which we hope may be .replaced soon by seimi- indirect lighting. A earner has been set aside for books of in- tcrest to Boy and Girl Scouts and a glass front bookcase has been moved downstairs and some of the newer, as well as the more e\-pensive hooks have been placed therein. A sign can the top reads "Clean kooks for clean children." This has becn the naost popular innovation and one which we hope will have far-reaching results. As mentioncd before, the children's room now closes at o'clock instead of S. We have sonictinie;s thought, that we should have to go back to the original, closing hour, but-we wish to give the experiment further trial. The story-hour has been held, as usual, can Friday at four o'clock, 1 WATERTO Vie PUBLIC LIBRARY Work With the Schools Our hildren's Librarian has visited most of the schools in Town and we have noticed an increased interest on the part of the teachers. Two of the ninth grade classes have visited the Public Library for a short talk on the tLsc of a library. The Librarian hats also gone to the High School and talkedto the. freshman class. It is Hoped that the co-operation bet-ween the library and the schools will become closer each year, especially in the establishment of the much deeded High School library-, Books Withdrawn This year the library ceased to be a depository library for the United Staters Government docuunents. These doctunents were hecon-Ling a great burden, all out of proportion to their usefulness. The library will still receive vanious publications of the United States Government that are stated to the use of the community. We were obliged to retunt such volumes as eve had no further use for and I751 volumes have been sent to Washington and more will go when we can spare the time for the work. 2307 other volumes have been withdrawn. Some of these should be replaced.. Repairs Troubles never come singly," and tmforeseen repairs may he classed as " troubles " when they come as thief and fast as they died In I918. I should Hardly class the refitting of the Librariara's office as such, as it has been a joy to me and a pleasure to those who have seen the change irz the room, but it was but the be- ginning of the extra expenses. Next the extrenic cold broke some pipes, leairingr us without water for weeks and necessitat- ing much plumbing; then the roof began to leak and much re- pairing was needed; when spring arrived we found that the cold weather had played havoc with our shrubbery and many ne %, shrubs had to be set out, but the crop,,,ning " trouble " wag the condemning of the Moiler tubes for which we had to ask for a special appropriation. Lot us hope that 1919 has better luck for us! LIBRARTAN'S REPORT 1 War-time Activities Our library has participated is the various drives for hooks and money for the American Library Association Library- War Service.. Books have been sent this year as follows: Watertown ,arsenal, 546 vol,crmes American Library Association Overseas Dis- patch Office 986 vole nes Camp Devens 50 volumes aveland Light 15 v.o1wnes Many magazines have, been seat to different places. T'he Librarian and her assistants spent some time at the Watertown Arsenal arranging the boobs in the Y. M. C. A. but and the librarian has just been appointed Supervisor of Library War Service at the IVaterto-=n Arsenal. The library has also doe what it could to aid food enn- servation, Talks and exhibits were held at the library and thousands of pamphlets on food were distributed. The High School and ninth grade pupils made man-- fasters for us, some of which were on exhibition in Nllasluiugton. Library Meetings In. March the Neighborhood Library Group met at Water- town, with representatives froth twelve libraries present. The subject was: " Library Problems of the ay." A luncheon ,vas sen,'ed to the guests at the home of the Librarian. The library has been represented at all the meetings of the Massa- chin etts Library Club. Acknowledgments The library still avails itse if of the inter-library, loan system and extends its thanks especially to the NeNA ton Free Librar. for its assistance. e- are also indebted to the Massachusetts Tree Public Library Corrunission for collections of books in foreign languages. At the Main Library-iv+e have hadSpanish and Italian books and at the Branch, looks in Italian, Ar- menian, and Creek. We have also received gifts of hooks from 16 'WATERTO"W*EST PUSLIC LLB LRY ' individuals and publishers, acknowledgment of which is given in an appendix. The Staff There have been few, changes its the library staff this year. Miss Marry E. Hatch, Simmons 1918, who lead done substitute work for us for t,5-o summers, was appointed to tape charge of the cataloging and reference work and asstun.ed her duties July f. Mr. Ifooper, our janitor,joined the Canadian Expedi- tionary Forces aTI t was last beard of from France. Mr. Dar- dis is acting janitor. Ttie Future I ha-ve already spoken of the need of a. new charging desk and the system of lighting is receiving your consideration, but I wish to call your attention to the necessity of chmiging the position of the radiators in the children's roam in oTdc r to obtain more heat. We are only able to obtain a temperatttre ranging from 63 to 66 degrees by having, fires in Matti grates. I lope that you may persuade the Finance Committee to increase our appropriation, to allow an increase in the salaries of the staff; to allow for a much needed extra assistant and to allow for a more liberal purchase of boobs. Thf,- increased cast of maintenance has curtailed the amount available for books and the price of boobs has advanced so much that the same amount of money does not buy as many gooks as formerly. The increased use of the books necessitates much rebinding .and replacing. In closing I v6sh to express my appreciation of the goad work done by my assistants dwing a year of many changes, and to you, the Trustees, for your unfailing kindness and support.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE To the SC11001 commiitee: The year just closed has been an eventful one in many respects. It has been a year of history-making, in which our country has taken a very decisive part, and it ha.s also been a year of inter- ruptions in school work_ In the making of history- for our country cu r national school system has been a great factor. There has been heretofore an inclination on the part of a great runny people to find fault with our school system, and criticise it as inadequate. But, whatever criticism may have been made, we must acIcnowledlge that the boys who stepped into the breach and stopped the progress of the enemy of civiaa- tion, are the product of our national public schools. An oppor- tunity has occurred, such as never occurred before, to compare there with the product of the schools of ether nations and we are able to assert x%-ith pride that m initiative, self-control and rapidity of thought and action they acre second to none. The work of the schools has suffered some interruptions during the year. The coal shortage and severe cold -i veather at the beginning of the v.ea,r did not affect our schools seriously. The heating systems of only two buildings were badly affected by freezing, and, while buildings in other towns were closed from one to four weeks on account of lack of coal, not one of our buildings was closed for this reason. The epidemic of influenza in the early autumn necessitated the closing of the schools for four wee"- . That this action was rise rill, no doubt, be conceded by even, onc. Josepbine Edwards of the Francis School and Miss Isla. Ricker of the Hosrner School desenre special mention for their ready response to the call for assistance during the epidermic. In connection with their school work, teachers and pupils have found ti3ne to take active part in Red Cross work, in the buying of Thrift and War Stmnps, in. Victory Boys and Girls' work, 5 G WA'i2RTCW.NL PUBLIC: SCHOOLS and in other ways which have shown a spirit of loyalty and patriotic service. Another activity which is deserving of mention is that of Thigh School Athletics. The splendid records of the baseball and football teams of our Nigh School are glue to the efficient coaching of the athletic instructor, Mr. John G. McDonald, and the fine spirit of cep--operation mid team work of the boys can the respective teams. They have, see to spear, put �ffater=- town oii the athletic ina(p of Greater Boston. This they have done in spite of the fact that they have no athletic field on which to practice. It seems no i-acre than just that the hays of our Town should have a place pro-,Tided for them where they can carry on their athletic activities. Would not such a -field be a fitting memorial in honor of the boys from Watertown who ,gave up their- lives in the war? Only minor repairs were made on the bnildin4s [luring the su mier, as the demands on the appropriation for maintona.nce wexe so Treat dwii g the year that only a small amount was available for sut-t7m.er repairs. The annual appropriation for this item should be at least one per cent of the total valuation of the school buildings. This suns would be approximately 5000. Unless this amotmt can be had from year to year to keep the buildings in proper condition a. miich lamer sum will have to he spent eventually. Many of the buildings need, interior painting. The [old Coolidge School was thoroughly renovated dw ing the swTuner and is again in use with every rm filled to capacity.' Now that the restrictions on new construction have been removed l)y, the Goverimient, your chairman recommends that the question of the addition of twelve rooms to the Hosfner School building be again presented at the annual Town lVfeeting next March. Complete,plans for this work have heen mado and are in the hand-g of the Committee. The continued growth of ouir school system and the congestion which exists in the schools in various parts of the Town make the need of addi- tional room imperative. "17he petition for increase in salaries presented by the teachers of cur schools has received the careful consideration of the conmiittce, It is a fair and just statement of their position. REPORT OF THE CFrAIRMATNI 7 The I-11inijiltun arid maximu-n-i salaries of the present schedule, have been increased to a point that will give adequate com- pensatioii to onr teachers and enable them to 1-neff-t the increased expense of living. The following schedule is recommended by the School Corn- mittee to the citizens of the Town for consideration. General Merit Niininium hia-uniurn Maximu m Elementary Schools: Teachers . . . . . .

Recommendations for increases beyond the general maximum are to be entirely individual and based upon recognized merit. The first incmue to be as of January 1, 1919; the next as of September 1, 1,919; thereafter as of September I of each year until the mammum is reached. Urdess something of this kind is done, the salary question will continue to be a Per- ennial one for the Committee, A corps of teachcrs worldng under conditions which keep them contented makes for effi- ciency in the school senrice. Respectfully submitted, ADOLPH C. ELY, Chaimian. SUPERINTENDENT'S DEPORT To the School Conw;�Uee: I here-pith submit my eleventh annual report as Superin- tendent of Sclrools of Watertown. This report is the eighty- first of the printed reports of the School Committee of Water- tolvri. AIany appeals have come to the schools generally with the object cf casing them as a rneditr n for carrying on campaigns of information or for raising funds. In view of these appeals, the State Commissioner, with the a,dNice of an a&isory com- mittee, ruled that endorsunic at be given only to those cam- paigns which are requisite or officially endorsed by the depart- ment of the State car National Government. The ultimate purpose of the schools is to develop efficient citizens. Our work in arithmetic or history or science is val- uable only in so far as it contrilmtes to the larger purpose. The success of our effort. is tasted not: only by our pupils' ability to do, but by their -%N i111m n(!ss to do, as well. In the great conflict which has confronted our nation, it has been of the utmost, importance that our people be united in devotion to the ideals of liberty and readiness to make great sacrifices in support of them. _ The great opportnility for service by the schools in this time of emergency has been to help create in our pupils right ideals and attitudes. e have welcomed the requests which have corne from civic, state and national authorities for the co--operation of the schools. The messages of the President and. the Governor have been react at assemblies, the problems of enlistment, food conservation, and other farms of service have been discussed in classrooms. The prevailing note has been not congratula- tion tion or i.nclividua,l success, but loyalty and sacrifice in service. The chief job for school children as for many of the rest of us has been to do the days work well, fitting themselves for the highest mower of which they are capable. SUP]ERINTENW:N-T'S REPORT 0 The importance cf food econonl}fi was explained to pupils by the teacher of domestic science, and the classes M this sub- ject have devoted a share of their time to preparation of foods which could be substituted for commonly used materials in which thcre was said to be an iMpending shortage. The irresponsibility-which is a marl-ed characteristic of youth is made even more apparent at a tithe when the power of the nation has been put to the test and every one has been called upDii to do his full share. We have now both the necessity and opportunity for Overcoming the soft, easy-going habits and the excessive individualism which have been so chaxa.c- teristic of our home life. The fond parent who encourages the sort or the daughter to neglect an obligation through a rrdstaken tenderrmess or the one who habitually regards fwnily interest and convenience in preference to public welfare, is always a social problem. There are, of coarse, those who arc conspicuous for their public spirit, among both students and parents. Those who have been reliable and self-sacrificing in the midst of much irresponsibility arc especially to he con-anended. The hopeful prospect is that the centering of attention upon the great problem of the present will bring about a change in the general attitude. I believe that along with the hardship and sorrow which our people have been facing; NV Ill come a strengthening of character. From the standpoint of education, this should mean a more effective co-operation of the home with the school and the church In developitig in the young people habits and ideals which gn',e greater lower of endurance and more ability to be useful. ,A, problem which has received considerable attention in. educational discussions during the past few years is that of teaching children how to Andy. The inability of mn my young people to work independently has been emphatically pointed out by both teachers and parents. The short school day and school year prevailing in Aincri= schools have seemed. to inake it necessary to rewire pupils in the upper grades to prepare .some of their lessons at home. TJnder the best conditions this arrangement is beneficial, for it places responsibility upon the pupil and gives opportunity 10 WATERTOWN PU13LIC SCHOOLS for the development of habits of self-directed work. Unfor- tunately, much of this home study is not done under favorable conditions. Izi sot-no hazes pupils have a suitable place for quiet study wid in many there is not the kind of parental supervision which encourages regular hours of work, freedom from distraction, and self-dependence. `1'hery has been not a little demand, chiefly among the parents, for the entire aba.ndonmeat of home study and some schools of the state have tried the plan of lengthening the school day and having all lessons prepared udder the eye of the teacher. The plan is supported by the state authorities. Notwithstanding adverse conflitko1 s, intenscholastic sports. have been maintained as In previous years. The champion- ship was won by the Watertown boys in both baseball and football. I feel that much credit is due our coach, Mr. John G. Macdonald, who has shown an untiring interest to put the high sclwol athletics on a high plane. We have every reason to believe that our American sports and games have had no small part in developing the power of initiative and self-control in our boas at the front and in malting them sturdy and efficient soldiers. . A Junior High School: There seen-is to be no doubt that the organization of the American School System in the near future -will be based upon the Junior :High School idea. In view of this fact, early in the year a committee was appointed by the School Committee consisting of the principal of the. Marshall Spring School, the Nigh School principal, and the Superintendent of Schools to investigate the; conditions and feasibility- of establishing such a school in Watertown. The conurtittee appointed made a thorough investigation and reported unanimously in favor of establishing such a school in the near future, not, however, until the annex to the Hosmer School has been completed. I wish, hereWith, to give some of the provision s for its_organ- iza.'tion, on efficient admiflistratian as recently- presented 13 t• Prof, Alexancicr J. Inglis, of the Department of 13clucation, Harvard U iverslty, to the New England Superintcn.dents' Association SUPRIUNTENDENT'S RE-PORT I. Its Place in the School System. 1. It should comprise three grades forming the second division of a six-three-three system. (a) It is recognized that the edur-ation of the indi- vidual is a unitary and. continuous process and that for the individual a single division compris- ing all grades would be a.desirable form of organ- ization. However: (b) The exigencies of school eoonomy and efficient adhnh-iistration necessitate division at some point or Points in tho systern- (1) A larger number of schools (buildings, etc.) must be provided for the lower grades and for yomiger pupils, so situated as not to neces- sitate distance traveling; fewer schools to a less extent affected by the distance element are required for older pupils. (2) Attempts to provide all grades in each Smaller di-strict are liandicapped by the fact that the ecancinical and efficient adn-11i list ra tion of differontiated education is impossible where small munbers of pupils are involved and is possible only -where the consolidation of pupil population is effected. (3) Sooner or later the transition between char- acteristically elementary and characteristically secondary edomtlon must be made. (c) In the school system as at present organized pupils in grades I to 6 are predominantly inunature physiologically; in grades, II to IV they are pre- dominantly mature; in grades 7, 8, 1, they are in a transitional stage. At the age of twelve less than fi-kre per cent of the pupils are post-pabescent; at the age of sixteen more than four-fifths of the pupils are post-pubescent. Ages thirteen tofiftee-a are markedly transitional ages as far as the factor of pubescence is concerned. 12 WATERTiJWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (d) At liresent the g(mod of greatest proportional elimination is during the grade I ofthe high school or behveen grades I and. II. The ages of greatest elinlitiation are fourteen and fifteen. (medimn age of lea. inn about fotu-teen and one-half). (e) At present tho close of the-elerrientaryr school and beginning of the high school coincide �%dtli the close of the cornpulsory attendance law (with allowance for workimg, certificates, etc.). A six- four-two plan would inake the close of the junior high scliool period coincide with the compulsory attendance, law limit of :sixteen-year age. A six- three-three Galan " straddles " both ages which mark important points in the compulsory attend- ance law and thus distributes elimination factors. ( Numerous cavils have acmanulated around the pres- ent eight-four plan which have, been crystallized in tlae theory and practice of the first; year high- school work. If the present high-school unit remains tuichanged it will be difficult to remedy those evils. This is a strong abjection to the six-two—four plan. (g) The six-six plan does not allow sufficiently for the needs of those who must leave school before the end of the high school courses. (h) In all this it; should be remembered that the real reforms to be accomplished concern the internal administration of he schools much more than external organizatio . If unity is last all is least. 2. Articulation wvith the elementary school (grades 1 to 6), It goes without :saving perhaps that if the junior high school fails to be articulated with the work of the elementary school better than the present High school is articulated with the present elementary school (grades 1 to 3) much of the purpose of the new organization will not be accomplished and grave evils will result. This consideration suggests two impor- tant things SUPERINTENDENT PS REPORT 13 (a) The work of the first grade of the juuior high school must be carefxflly organized. on the bases of the work- of the sixth grade so as to avoid mal- articulation. Mere is important attention to the element of gradual transition emphasized below (11, 1 and II1, 1). (h) Promotion from the elementary school :should he based primarily on pedagogical progress, i.e., the accomplishment of the usual %work of the first six g ades. This should be supplemented, how- ever, by attention to other measures of ina.tin ty, e.g., chronological, psychological, physiological and social age. Regardless of pedagogical achieve.- raent, a pupil so mature (mentally, physiologically, chronologically, or socially) that lie cannot benefit materialh- byv the work of the elementary school or so likely to leave school if restricted to the-,ivnrk of the elementary school should arbitrarily be promoted to som(m phases of work in the junior high school, 3. Articulation with the senior high school (a) It has been suggested that the character of the junior high school be determined by the needs of those who will not go to the senior high school. Any such conception is fatal to the success of our school system. Beyond doubt the junior High school should provide education for those wlio must leave school, This can never, hour ever, be its sole aim. (b) There is constant clanger that the work of the junior high school may be deternined by the demands of the senior high school. Important though the needs of those ivho are to enter the senior hig1Y school may be, they must never cause us to lose sight of the needs of those i0o will not go to the senior high school, The character of the w9rk of the seidur high school should be 14 WATERTOWItii PUBLIC SCHOOLS deteniiined by the character of the work clone in the junior high schr)ol rather than vice very. (c) Promotion from the junior high school to the senior High school should be based primarily on pedagog- ical progress. This should be supplemented, however, by attention to other measures of xna-- ttrritV in the cases of individuals or even special groups. ( 'hcrever possible the junior high school should be articulated with continuation schools. II. Dominant Characteristics of the Junior High School: The general principles of education obtaiti here as else- where. In particular, however, attention must be paid in the junior high school organization and administration to Special factors: 1. Provision for gradual transition wid the eHmination of sudden and abrupt changes from grade to grade or from division to division. 2. Provision to meet thp, aceds of individual differences in capacities and aptitudes and differences in the demands of society-. 3. Flexibility in organization and adrnirustration. 4. Provision for educational diagnosis, cNplorativa and direction. 5. Provision for some ;prcvoca.tional trainilig. 6. Provision for the rearganization of teaching material and methods. 111. Principles Growing out of these Donrinan t; Character- istics: I. Provision for gradual transition: (a) The close articulation of each successive ,grade with the preceding grade as far as teaching material and inethod are concenied. (b) The gradual change from the ,one-teacher plazr of the elernentArtr school to the many-teaser plan REEMMW SUPtRINTENDENTIS PX*I}ORT 15 of secondary education, ix., the gradual intro- duction of the departniental organization. (c) The gradual change from largely supervised work to relatively independent work involving initiative, self-reliance and responsibility. (d) The gradual introduction of neiv subject matter. (e) The gradual introduction of °" election.' ({) Gradual change in teaching mUhods and the treatmeat of children.. 2. Provision to anent the need of individual differences ajid the differentiated needs of society. (a) The introduction of elective subjects. (b) Promotion by subjects rather than by grades. (c) In,creased flexibility in the schedule and its ad nin- istra;tinn. (d) Educational diagnosis, exploration and direction. (e) Recognition of the needs of.those leaving before the close of the cou se. ( Provision for economy of time in the case of brighter pupils. 3. Plembility in organization and administration- This is in large degree effected by the above provisions. It inay be noted, however, that the formal spa.rativn of the work of the jun or high school into distinct cur- ricula interferes seriolasly with the flexibility of the school. 4. Provision for educational diagpos°is, exploration and direction (a ) The introduction of certain subjects which acquaint the pupil i%pith several phases of activity and test his capacities and interests, (b) The introduction of some work designed to 'give the pupil educational and vocational information and a;tligl�tenment. WATERTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (C) The administrative recognition of this ft1liction and the arrallgel-nent of administrative machinery to Provide advice and direction. 6. Provision fur some Prevocational training: (a) The establishment of a cotu-se designed to give the pupils sonle knowledge of vocational oppor- ttmities and requirements. (b) Prevocational courses designed not to develop skill in the underlying processes common. to sev- eral vacations. 6. Provision for the reorganization of teaching material and methods: (a) The organiqatloii of sub5vc.t matter primarily with reference to the capacities and needs of the pupil and with reference to the activities in life after school, not piiniarily in teFl-nS Df the logical organ- ization demanded by the subject as a " science," e.g., 9cf-leral science, comnitmity civics. 01 The organi'Zatioa of tcaching method to conform with the reorgaitzation of material.

For reasons too well known to need rcpetiti0n, in no sphere of public adn-dnis- tration is the recognition and application of this principle of more vital importance than in theconduct of the Public Schools. e maintain, moreover, that when an important question of public policy di��des a con-unittee so sharply as has that which is the cause of crttr report, the majority should lie not only 'Wrilling, but zealous that tltc guiding -reason for their action; or non-action on this matter should be matl.c clear to the citizens, either through the instrulrcentality of its Public Records or in its annual Report to the Town. No mention of the Committee's policy. in regard to the Continued tenure of the present Superintendent of Schools appears in. the Ci air- inan's Annual Report. We regret to state that the majority of the Coirunittee, by its directed control of its Public Records, in our opinion, without reason and contrary - all recognized parliamentanr pro cedi are, has so chaii ged those rt-,o'ds that they are not a tntte transcript of a proposed action rf::lnting to the removal of the present Superintendent of Schools from his office and the reason therefor. A full st.atecnent of the facts leading* to, anti determining this proposed action in the form of a minority report, hecoines, therefore, not only an unplcas- a,nt public duty, but is the only method ley which the citizens of the 'Town may know of those things not disclosed by the records of the School Comn-ittee. One year agog, during the preparation of the 1919 Schoal Budget, the salary of the present Superintendent of Schools 29 30 WATERTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS caane up for consideration. After a full and free discussion, it was agreed unaiiii-nously that the Committee would not reco n unend any higher salary for that employee. Substan- tially the gruiding reason for this unanimous opinion was as follows: that the present Supciintendent of Schools, whatever leis standing and abilities may have been in the past under administrative and educational conditions then prevailing, he did not show at the preseurt time, and by the usual tests, did not promise to develop in the future, the requisite qualifi- cations, either as an educator or an executive to sa.tis.fa.c:tmily meet and solve the, cornplex problems which will develop with the future growth of our school system. lax more colloquial lan- gxuage, the job had outgrown the man. This situation being recognized acid declared, it logically followed til-!at time had arrived for a change in the Superintendency of Schools, and this was also the uuuanimous opinion of the Conitmittec. The Chairman was, therefore, authorize-d: to make known to the Sul rintendent of Scliools the above stated conclusion to which the Conunittee had arrived., together with the further assurance that having in mind the delicate situation involved and -with a d-Lie z-egard for his future professional standing, their earnest desire was that inatters should be so aiTanged that loath the Superintendeiut and the Committee ynight; in rea- sonable thine openly seek the deterrnina.tion of their respective problems. Knowledge of this situation was also brought; to the atten- tion of the Finance Committee at its hearing, relative to the 1918 Schaal Budget. 'With their full understanding and approval of: the pending cliange in the: Superintendency, for various reasons of equity, an advance in the salary of this office to 2300 as of January 1, 1918, Nvas recommended, al�- proved and voted at the annual March meeting. It should he particularly rated that out of regard for the future professional standing of the present Superintendent of Schools and in order in no way to embarass any efforts he height make to replace himself, no mute or vote of any kind in reference to this matter-was placed in the Coimnittee Records. of 1017, and so far as the rainority was aware, this unanimous opinion contilitie l throughout the legal life of that Committee, MINORITY REPORT 31 five inetnbers of which were also of the 1'118 Scl1001 aMMittee. Up to the April meeting of the 1918 Committee, no direct statement from the Superintendent was received, although the Chainna,n had conununicated to him the opinion of the Coinsnittee expressed in January. In no way did he seek an understanding with the Conimittcc as a body by conference and discussion, nor was the resi�niation tendered as might have reasonably l)een expected. Therefore, at that time can the initiative of members of the Committee the Superintendent was questioned as to what his understanding cif the situation was, and a statement of his intentions in regard to the future requested. He flatly refused to snake any statement as to his future intentions, and denied having l een told inuch of the opinion of the 1917 Committee, which the Chain cin- pha.tically asserted had been told to the Superintendent by him. The Superintendent further made it clear that he it to take every advantage of his legal rights under the School Tenure Act of 1914, and also of the fact that the opinion of the 1917 Committee had no binding legal effect on the 1918 Committee, whatever the moral obligations of that opirdon might he on the five continuing members. 'Thus was misinterpreted and every advantage taken of the purposely generous action of the 1917 Coixunittee in malting no public record of its .action. A situation was, therefore, created which was intolerable and unbusulessliku, intolerable in that the executive officer of the ,School .Department, to i he in had been expressed unanimous desire for a.change in his office, withheld his expected resignation, and unbusinesslike in that the Committee was left in uncertainty as to if ever, the office might be vaca- ted, and so could not seek his successor. The issue was thus squarely befora the Corr nittee and theirs the responsibility for bringing the situation within sensible and businesslike control, and under the conditions then existing th is could only be clone by the removal of the Superintendent from his office by the process prescribed by the Tenure Act of 1914. Therefore, at the ineeting of May 7, the following motion in the form of a resolution ;vas presented to the Com- mittee for action. 32 WATURTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS W1= EREAS, hi a inecting of the School Committee held on January- 14, 191S, it was unanimourily agreed by the full Com- mittee (five members of which are also members of the present Committee) that change of Superintendent is desirable, and WHEREAS, Uk accordance with this agreement and tmder iastruction of the full Comn-uttcc, the Chai xan dill notify the Superintendent, Wlilfred 11. Prig, upon the same date (January 14, 191.8) of the conclusion to which the Committee had con-ic, and HERE-AS, they above describe-cl action wa.q taken witfi- out record for the express purpose of extending to the Super- intendent such courtesy and consideration as would, havo enabled lint to appear to have taken the initiative, and with the expectation that the Superintendent w-ould tinder his reSiguation at an early slate, to take effect at the close of his salary year, namely, Septernber 1, 1919, thereby, M tarn s11c r*Ting to the Cammittec, and throtigli the Committee to' the down, such consideration as would enable the +Cc rnmittee to seep his successor ojx�Ybly, and EBREAS, the ',School Committee in the first instance showed marled courtesy, by giving informal notice months in advance, rather tlian increly the thirty- slays recitiirccl by law, and the Finance Committee, in the: secand instance, by approv- ing a salary increase for the Superintendent, in anew of the understanding had froze the School Gun-u:nittee can Pebruai-y 21, 1918, that the Superintendent was soon to resigza, be it there- fore. VOTED: That the Superintendent, Wilfred H. Price, he notified this night, by a copy of this vote into his hand deliv- ered, that tile rluesdioa of his dismissal will be voted upon by the School Cormnitt'ee: of Watertown at its regular meeting in June, 1918, ill accordance with the provisiwns of Chapter 714, Sections 1 and. 2, of the Acts of the: Massachusetts Legislature for 1914. In the ensuing discussion and vote, for the first thne the minority was made a«>a,re of a complete reversal in opinion of the other three continuing members of the 1917 Committee,. and the inotion was defeated by a vote of four to two. Iinme- diatcly follow big this -Tate the salary of the Superintendent of Schools was increased to 32 00[ in spite of the fact that the morea.se to this figure had been approved and recommended by the Fitianve Committee -�%ith the distinct understanding that a changre of inc=bency was to be expected. The issue liar=ing thus been presented and determined, the minority fell: that no good purpose was to be gained by further agitating this question during the Life of the 1918 Committee. The public record of the proposed action and the recorded vote thereon told the story =d placed the responsibility .for negative action. Our surprise was, therefore, great; when at the June meeting objection was made to the record an this question as entered by the Secretary. It was insisted that: the vote when taken was only on that fart of the resolution as offered, beginning with the word " voted," although it was not questioned that a typewritten copy of the whole resolution was placed in the hands of each member when presented for action,nor was it claimed that any " amendment try " Of 1110tiG " to strike out " airy part cf the resolution had been offered prior to the vote being taken, Nevertheless it was voted by the majority that the record should be corrected to show. that the -,tote when taken was only on the final clause of the resolution. This ccnrmction the Secretary made by endorse- ment. Nrot satisfied with this camplete change of its public record, the majority at the meeting of June 28 took the final step and orderctl expunged from the record all of the preamble of the resolution as originally offered. Only after the earnest protest of the minority and follouing a series of remarkable parliamentgyy► rulings during the discussion was this studied purpose of the majority accomplished. e are not objecting to majority rule; that is necessary-, proper and accepted as the only method of transacting busi- ness in any organization. We do feel, ho� c�vcr, that majority rule as applied in this particular case, in this particular ma.znier, and for a particular purpose, was, a. travesty on fairness, and showed a distinct aversion to having the expressed opinion and conviction of the majority tested by subsequent and recorded action. 4 WATERTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS In presenting this statement of facts the minority is In 110 way animated by any personal animosity either towards our colleagues on the Coimnittee. ar the present Superintendent of Schools. The issue goes much deeper than a mere differ- ence of opinimi such as often arises during the deliberations of any Board. We believe that the holding of public office carries certain responsibilities which should not be shirked when the goad of the service requires drastic action, even though such action be xtgpleasant personally to all parties concerned. School Committees c::ist for the purpose of getting the schools manat ed and administered in all departments with the greatest efficiency. They deal not only with increasingly large sums of public money, but, of far more importance, with the forina,tion and adoption of wise educational policies, the solving of present a-ad futuxe housing problems, and the main- tenance of a. well trained, well organized and enthusiastic corps of teachers; all these for one purpose and one purpose only; that: oui- chiidren may be guaranteed the widest oppor- tunities to prepare Their rrdnds and bodies for future problems of living and citizenship. For expert advice and guidance on all questions relating to educational administration, a School Coax-imittee in these days is dependent upon the wide educa- tional knowledge and sound Judgment of the Superintendent of Schools. From him, at all times, complete information should be available of every detail of the system under his control. He should be a man of strong opinion lased on wide knowledge and constant study of the problems of his profession, an ,organizer and a tactful director, and able through the many opportunities available to direct and educate public opinion in educational affairs. Without these qualities in the admin- istrative and executive head of its school systew, no School Committee should be content. Few professions have developed more inxportant requixe- xnents dtu-uag the last decade than that of school superin- tendency. To the degree that the public school system is the most important municipal activity, the Schad Superintendent becomes the most in portant municipal employee. Measured by jeclui.rements fully met, the position should always command MINORITY REPORT 35 a salary commensurate with its responsibilities, but its recip- ient must be a real educational leader, alert and able to get things done, inspiring his subordinates by reason of large knowledge and contagious enthusiasm. The salary of the present Superintendent of Schools spears louder than any statement thhat might be made. We are confident that the Town of Watertown stands ready at the proper time to make a proper and generous adjustment of this anomalous situation. The adjustment, however, should mly follow the recommenda- tion of the School Comnnittee that its admirdstra.tive and executive officer meets alb the requirements which may reason- ably be demanded by the citizens of the Iowa. The uuder- signed most earnestly believe, however, that if Watertown is to meet its present school problems successfully, to plan intelligently for the future, and create and maintain a school system that Will give its children all to which. they are entitled, it will demand for the administrative leadership of its school department the very best professional skill which a town of its population and wealth should employ.
