Brigham to be duty elected. The Findings, Rulings, and Order For Judgment follows: COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Middlesex, ss. SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT No. 1164 1165 HARRY W. BRTGHAM V. DICKRAN H. BOYAJIAN, et als JAMES N. BA.RRETT V. DICKRAN H. TIO YAJIAN, et als FINDINGS, RULINGS, AND ORDER FOR JUDGMENT These cases are petitions for mandamus to try title to the office of town treasurer of Watertown. The petitioner in each case has been 42 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT admitted as an intervening party in the other case. No pleadings subsequent to the petitions have been filed by the intervenors, but the cases have been heard on the merits upon the understanding that each intervenor denied in tote the allegations of the petition except as otherwise stated. Both petitioners are residents :and voters in the town of Water- town and were candidates in opposition to each other for the office of treasurer of the town of Watertown at the election which was held on March 1, 1937. There were no other candidates. The ballots showed as the fourth officer to be voted for on the ballot the following. "Treasurer for one year. Vote for One. James N. Barrett, 24 Hall Avenue, Democrat Harry W. Brigham, 2 Brigham Street, Republican Candidate for re-election." Official ballots were used. The first returns after the totes had been counted showed the election of Barrett by 19 votes. He received a certificate of election under G. Imo., Ter. Ed., Ch. 54, s. 135 (compare s. 137), gave his official bond, and took an oath of office, all on or be- fore March 6, 1937, but Brighara seasonably filed, a, petition for a re- count and still claimed the office and assumed to perform its duties. Brigham had been town treasurer for the preceding year, and by virtue of G. I,., Ter. Ed., Ch. 41, ss. 2 and 107, hell office until a new town treasurer was qualified 1n his stead. Brigham contends that the word "qualified" imports as a neces- sary condition precedent an election, and that the result of the elec- tion could not be definitely determined until after the recount. Never- theless, Brigham turned over to Barrett the kegs of the town treas- urer's office and whataver cash was there, not in the safe, and received a receipt therefor, although lie dirt not furnish Barrett the combination of the safe. The receipt included money in banks in the name of the town. Since that time and pending this dispute, both the petitioners have assumed to be town treasurer. The recount was had and the result was announced on March 6, 1937. It was announced that there were 438 blank ballots cast so far as the office of town treasurer was concerned, and that Barrett and Brigham had 5171 votes each and thus were tied. Certificates were duly sent to the petitioners, showing the result of the recount.. (see G. L., Ter. Ed., Ch. 54, s. 135) At the hearing* before me several disputed and protested ballots were offered in evidence. I founds that one ballot in Precinct 2, Block 1, and another ballot, in Precinct 2, Bloch: 9, which had been counted as blanks ought to have been counted in favor of Brigham, and Barrett did. not contend against the propriety of this finding. Another disputed ballot was in Precinct 5, Block 3. It was counted for neither ]warty but was regarded as a blank ballot. The voter had region his ballot by voting for a Republican candidate for selectman. He then made a crass opposite the name of the Republican candidate RETORT OP TOWN MEETINGS 43 for moderator, and another crass opposite the name of the Democratic candidates for moderator, but he so thickened the nearly horizontal lines of the cross opposite the name of the Democratic candidate for .moderator as to suggest an attempt to erase the cross. He made a cross opposite the name of the Republican candidate for town clerk, and also a cross opposite the name of the Democratic candidate for town clerk, but with that cross he did much the same as he did with the cross opposite the name of the Democratic candidate for moderator except that he added another nearly vertical line. As he left it the mark suggests an attempt to erase the cross. Ike made a erase apposite the name cf Brigham, the Republican candidate for treasurer, and also a cross opposite the name of Barrett, the Democratic candidate for treasurer, but he thickened the nearly horizontal line of the latter cross much as he did in the case of the cross apposite the name of the Democratic candidate for moderator. In the rest of his ballot he voted exclusively for the Republican candidates where party designations appeared. Both parties agree in this case that this latter circumstance is competent evidence. On the whole, I And that the inteaat of the voter can be discoveTed and that it was to vote for Brigham for torn treasurer and not for Barrett, and that this ballot which was deemed a blank and not counted for either party ought to have been daunted for Brigham. A ballot in Precinct 7, Block 14, shows a cross apposite the name *f Brigham for town treasurer. It shows another cross opposite the name of Barrett for town treasurer. The right hand end of the nearly, horizontal line of this cross is as heavy as the lines in the cross oppo- site the name of Brigham. The rest of the crass opposite the name of Barrett is more faint, and that includes the place of intersection of the lines of the cross. There is some suggestion in the appearance of the paper that an erasure was attempted, but if so the erasure was neat completed and the cross remains, although much of it is faint by comparison with other crosses. This ballot was counted for Brigham, but I find that it bears to crass opposite the names of bath candidates and caught to have been treated as a blank and not counted for either party. In Precinct 5, Block 7, is a ballot which I infer at one time bore a crass opposite the name of Barrett for the block opposite that name has been scratched with a knife or other sharp instrument so that no mark now remains there. The scratching extended into the block below the one opposite the name of Brigham, but in the block below, opposite the name of Brigham, there is a plain cross. This cross appears to have been made with an indelible pencil and not with the ordinary graphite pencil, whereas all the other crosses on the ballot appear to he made with an ordinary graphite pencil. Brigham is the only Re- publican for whom the voter narked his ballot. In Precinct f, Black 1, is another ballot can which a cross appears to have been made opposite the namme of Earrett, apparently 1n indelible 44 WATERTt}WN 'TOWN REPORT pencil, and that cross appears to have been nearly completely erased by an instrument like a rubber eraser so that it is only with difficulty that the existence of a cross can be determined. Thcre is a plain cross opposite the narne of Bri pain, apparently in indelible pencil. The other crosses on the ballot are made with an ordinary graphite pencil. The voter in the case of the ctlier offices voted exclusively for Demo- crats as far us panty designations appear, except that he voted for George B. Wellman, a Republican, for to,,vii clerk, and Frank L. Ma.- uire, a Republican, for constable. Both these two last mentioned ballots were counted for Brigham. Barrett contends that they should have been coissidered as blanks and counted far neither Marty. If we take the ballots at their face: value, on the assumption that all marks 00D thew were made by the voter, I h,,,ve no doubt that the voter intendecl to vote for Brig'hani. It is suggested that the character of the pencil used, so coupled with the general course of conduct of the voter in voting for Democratic candi- dates, should lead to the conclusion that these ballots were tampered with before being counted. They could not have been tampered with after being counted because the recount in the several blocks of ballots in which these were showed no change upon the recount. These ballots Ivei•e in different precincts and were counted in the precincts and not in the same place. I am not positive that the marks in question were made with an indelible pencil. It is possible that the effect which seems to be that, of an indelible pencil was produced by heavy pressure with an ordinary graphite pencil On the whole, I am unable to find that these ballots, were tampered with after being cast, and accordingly find that they were properly counted for Brigham. The result is that I find that Brigham was duly elected to the. office, that he is entitled to judgment upon his petitions for mandainus,. and that the petition of Barrett ought to be dismissed.

Report of the Committee Appointed to Study the Adjustment of alaries of Clerks in the Administrative ❑apartments ��,:as I),. ,anted by Chairman John A. Collins as follows: REPORT OF TOWN MEETINGS $15 Watertown, Mass. May 17, 1937 Report of Committee Appointed to Study the Adjustment of Salaries of Clerks in the Administrative Departments At the adjourned annual meeting held March 22, 1937, the ap- pointment of a committee of five was authorized to study the adjust- ment of nninimum and maximum salaries for clerks in the administra- tive departniwits, of the Town, anti to report at the next town. meeting. The committee appointed under this authority organized and comr- menced its investigation promptly. All department heals were notified by circular letter that the com- mittee was functioning, informed of the work it was endeavoring to do, and requested to cooperate. It was immediately agreed that the problem of establishing base rates for clerical work involved two principal elements, namely : 1—Determining the relative values of all clerical positions. 9—Fitting these values into a wage scale, the upper and lower limits of which would be consistent with local practice and rea- sonable town policy. In determining relative values, we had to deal -with 15 different departments employing slightly less than 50 persons performing dif- ferent types of operations. There were no existing analyses of these operations for use in comparisons, and there could be no guaranCee that positions iNith similar titles were actually similar. To obtain an equitable and fair working basis, the fallowing tech- nique was decided upon.: a—Obtain analyses of all positions involved. 4—Rate each position for its value to the Town. c—Develop a salary structure. Each department head was furnished with "position analysis" questionnaires, and the following instructions. Each employee :should write a description of his or her owm work. This description should include all routine and occa- sional duties, machines used, supervision exercised, etc. All analyses should be checked, corrected (with employee's know]- edge} and ;approved by department heads. Department heads should arrange these analyses in the order of position im- portance (preliminary arrangement) according to their indi- vidual judgment. Other detail asked for on the sheet should be filled out. The committee compliments the department heads and the ern- 86 WATERT[lW N TOWN REPORT ployees upon the splendid cooperation received. The questionnaires ,,were returned promptly with duties of the position clearly outlined. With these questionnaires in halal work was at once started to rate the job and establish a salary structure. With little debate, and practically immediate agreement, a mini- mum rate wage was fixed for new clerical appointments at $900 per year, equal to 75 per month, or about $18.00 per week. The only exception to this minimum is i-a the School Department. The part tinie clerk in the Senior High Schools, and the clerks in the Junior High and Elementary schools work during the school year only—approxi- mately 10 months—and a minimum of $800 is recommended for these positions. Consideration was then given, to the factors whicli entered into the maxii-num rate wage, and it was agreed: I—I+ o maximum should be reached without a substantial number of ,years of service and experience in the position. '?—Where a difference of $500 is recommended between mini- rnum and inaiximum, the terra of service to attain anaxinlum would be 10 years with increments at the rate of $50 per year. This service term and increment rate was used as a lase, ex- cept in one or two cases an increment of $lap per year is used. The questionnaires were then studied and tentative maximums were fixed for the position involved. In this study, the committee was mindful at all times of the jot) and not the person. In fact the number of employees known personally to your committee is a very small minority. In such cases, the acquaintance was discounted completely and the position was the :sale factor, plus the advantages and disad- vantages, of town employment. Every clerk working for the Town has the advantage of a pro- tected position. They have continuous employment, at reasonably short hours, in and out of depression periods, and with minimum re- ductions in compensation in times of depression. They also enjoy vacations with pay and after July 1st, will have the privilege of a con- tributory Retirement Pension System, Furthermore, clerks working in ►N"atertwxm effect a saving in car fares and lunches estimated in ,junior salaries not less than. $3.00 per week, and an even greater saving in senior salaries, compared to clerks who work in the city. Your committee feels it incumbent upon them at this time to re- mark upon, the fact that all clerks are citizens of the Town. 'Y hb; is most commendable and in the opir&n of the committee is worthy of recommendation to all departments. Salaries are paid by the citizens and taxpayers, and when appointments are to be made in any depart- ment of the Town, preference should be given and :selections made from the sons and daughters of its citizens. REPORT OF TOWN MEETINGS 87 Compared to the advantages enjoyed by Town employees there is the disadvantage of a definite and limited ultimate advancement under this plan whereas the clerk employed in industry has opportunities of advancement to positions and compensation considerately higher than any maximum recommended in this report. These factors were con- sidered. After arriving at tentative maximums, conferences were held with your selectmen and heads of departments, the work discussed and salary* recommendations received. Each, and every department head championed his department and the clerks there employed. Water- town is fortunate in- having in its employ u very efficient and experi- enced force. In almost every instance, the salary reroararuendations by department heads for senior clerks was higher than is recommended in this report. if department recommendRtions had been followed the present inequalities which have developed (luring the past years I'vould be continued. Following these conferences, the final wage structure as presented was developed. Attention is called to the fact that in two cases the maximum x'ecomnreTided is less than present compensation paid. Your committee recommends no reduction in present salary, but does recorn- mend that the maximum reported be adopted for any future appoint- ment. In many cases, the present incumbent is working for a salary less Chan entitled to based on years of service, rates of increments and ulti- mate maximums. Recommendations to correct this situation appear later. The wage structure presented in this report also gi%-es the follow- ing information- 1—Term of service of present incumbent. ?—Present salary. 3--Ultimate maximum increase. 4—Time to reach, counting this year as 1. r--Increase recommended froin January 1, 1937. The total wage tables are as follows: Maximum salary structure $61,338.00 Ultimate increases to maximum 7,414_00 Increase recommended this year 3,416.6 As previously stated, certain clerks are working for compensation less than their term of service and rating of position warrants. In some cases the difference is glaring. Your committee believes, if this salary structure is adopted, that all such differences should be removed by the appropriation at this meeting of an amount of money sufficient to grant the increases suggested in this report, and it se recommends, The committee is not unmindful of the passibility that some $S WATER'IONVN TOWN REPORT employees, perhaps the majority, may be disappointed with the salary strue:ture recommended. It asks all such to consider carefully the problem before it as outlined in the earlier part of this report and to believe that its zecorn.menda.tions are anade witiiout prejudice, bias or discrimination. The task was a man's jots. It was approached with open minds, and with the purpose solely of being helpful and fain to all can+cermed—to the clerks and to the townspeople. If this report hurts, the committee is sorry and asks your indulgence. If it is fair, the committee asps no reward other than it be adopted by this meet- ing and thus established as Town policy. As the years go on and con- ditions change, another committee may adjust it to meet the needs of the: times. In conclusion, the Chairman wishes to express to his associate members, hearty and sincere appreciation of their services and co- operation. Each and every one gave freely of his time and put in many tedious hours extending into the early morning, in, order to com- plete the work. Each member has had considerable experience in clerk hire and employment in industry, Differences of opinion of course were present, but in a spirit of heartiest co-operation, all differences -'vere harmoniously reconciled and the report here presented is the cross- section of their combined efforts.

The Committee authorized by Town NlseeUng held on May 17, 1937 to prepare suitable resolutions on the death of Dr. Michael J. Kelley submitted report through its Chairman, C. Frederick Robinzon, as follows: REPOFU OF TOWN MEETINGS 101 In Memoriam DR. MICHAEIL J. KELLEY 1881-1937 A wise custom suggests the propriety of publicly record- ing the passing of those of our citizens who have rendered outstanding service to the community. Dr. Michael J. Kelley—actively engaged in the practice of medicine in this town from 1881 to his ,death March 21, 1937, a member of the School Committee 1886--1889, Selectman 1894, Town Physician for eighteen years between the years 1890 and 1934—well deserves this recognition on the part of his fellow townsmen. The span of his long and useful life arnang as is coinei- dent with a marvelous civic growth. From a quiet INTew Eng- land to�%m, with shaded streets and a neighborly population of not more than five thousand people, we have grown to a thriving, bustling community of thirty-six thousand, with corresponding municipal burdens. Dr. Kelley's coming„ to Watertown was before the era Qf specialists in medicine. His earliest contacts with the people were as the "fan- ly doctor" who on occasion needed to be also the family counsellor and father confessor as well. As such he was esteemed and respected, even by those who had no such affiliation with him. While a physician of the "old school" he kept abreast with the best thought and experience in medicine and surgery. He was one of the first in the State to use the X-Ray in diagnosis and one of the earliest to operate for appendicitis. His younger Contemporaries had highest regard for his professional ac- complishments and looked up to him as their leader. He held public office—always honorably. To him it was a public trust. His benefactions were without number. If he needed a monument it would be found in the hearts of the poor and the lowly he so faithfully served. Watertown Can boast no better citizen. We proffer our sincere sympathy to his family, P. SA.RSFIELD CUNNIFF ALFRED E. KING, ALD. GEORGE F. BUTLER JOHN W. O'HEARN G.

The past year, as in the preceding two years, of necessity, has been one of quiet, economical adininistrution. No larg-,c projects have been initiated, and those operations carried on have been largely of a routine nature except for a few of litnited .9i7e and cost. Department heads have exercised every of to function within the appropriations granted by the Town _XleeLtingq, ur1d great credit is due them for what has been accomplished, The Board has continued the wise policy of allo" ing heads, of departments to cunkluct operations without the interference or dicta- tion commonly associated with governmental adminiSLI",UiOn. ?dot only does the policy raise the general morale of all employees, but it fasters in the rnunicipa[ organization something of the personal interest and responsibility found in the conduct of private business. Except fur the customary borrowings needed to finance W. P. A. work projects, municipal costs during the past year have been met out of current income and assets. Not for muny years has the Town cipproxiLtiawd so closely to a strictly "pay-as-you-go" basis. The broad View of the Town's financial status shows it Lo be unusually sound. lts credit standing now ranks high. During the past year temporary loans in anticipation of tares totaled only '$,900,000 an(I were borrowed at the extremely low interest C(>St Of In 1022 the sume type of loans totaled $2,200,000. and interest charges cult the Town $71,000. The long term debt of the Town is now at the lowest point in twenty years, being $1,153,000.00 as of December 31, 1937 as compared with the peak debt of$2,171,500.00 in M21), which year marked the close of a period of public works expansion and new school-house construc- tion. In this same decade from 1928 to 1937 funded debt interest charges have been reduced from 5106,599.01) to $43,37D.00. As the Twxn's funded debt has been reduced, its statutory bor- rowing capacity has increased, now being over $1,000,000, compared vita a to figure of $196,514. in 1927. The desirable financlat situation combined with additional book credits and other assets subject, to 10as'll conversion, places the Troa,;ury in a splendid condition to meet the emergencies of the next few years should such unexpectedly cc-cur. While this sound financial position, in which the Town now findir itself may be viewed with satisfaction and pride of accimiplishment, two real problems remain to challenge the befit thOUglIt. Und purpose of administrative and legislative officials alike. First, of course, to protect and maintain this round financial status. and second the far moue difficult problem of translating its benefits in some degree for the relief of the local tax hurden. In other days such translation would he simple and direct. To-(fray however, we are fate to face with a new era in which local .appropriat- ing; bodies have increasingly less control in the determination of the scope and site of IOCIal tax levies. The rapid assumption by Moth State anti Federal sources of g overaa.rneDtal faanctivras, hitlteaIo local responsibilities, to be noel, by locally determined Standard-, of service :and costs, the reduction of industAul employment, the continued buss of local taxable valuations, the heavy burden of financing new plans of social alleviation, the pressure of great economic and social forces far removed from local uontrul, all these combined, inure and more tend to offset all effects of local economy in operation and local self-denial. 'I'he details and facts concerning the year's operations, are covered fully in the vaiious cdep{artmenttil reports. Concerning the•L• operations, the following comments are in summary. Highway Department Outside of the routine services which were carried on throughout the year in an efficient manner the clacef itean:S of maintenance .and construction were the resurfacing; of Arlington Street from tilt. Aubw,n Street: to Elm Street, and the reconstruction and resurGic ing of G alc,aa Streets from Watertown Street to the Newton line. loth projects Nvere financed under the provisions of Chaaptpr 90 with :a division of costs, apportioned between the State, the County and the Town. Nichols Avenue was also rehaailt from Boylston Street to Arlington Street and widened in front of the Hood Rubber Co. pliant. For its generous co-operation in making this desirable improvement, the Town is greatly indebted to the Hood Company which contributed land land relocated fences without cost to the Town. A very small amount of g;ranolithic, ,idowaik was laid during- the year, but nearly four miles cif bituminous concrete sidewalk Construe. tion was completed. This laattur construction was carried out largely under W. P. A. auspices with the Ei ng ineeringr and Highway Depart- ments responsible fol- tjl(L planning and general direction of the "Vork. These bituminous conc:rete sidewalks were laid on Arsenal St ­2et, Whiter, Avenue, Stuart Street, Carroll Street, Lowell Avenue, Fla rnden Avenue, Elton Avenue, Highland Avenue and Hersom Street. Also with the use of W. P. A. labor and the necessary co-operatlun of the Engineering and Highway Departments, street resurfacing, w,-Is completed in hates Road, Myrtle Street, Fayette Street and JValthaam ;t reet. During the year the Town necepted Partridge Street, Andrew ., eet� nand Dunton Roa[1 aantlei tlzr� girc]t�isicrns of the Betta3raxycilt Ac:t. soave prelinainar,y work wns (lone in these sLreets and they will lse rompleted sharing; 111 S. "ELI?CTINIEN'S REPORT' 125 Police and lire DelrUrtnients These two depar(inents have functioned during the year in an efficient manner. Both departments are now well btlused; the police in as commodious new building and the long needed alter•.ctions and.repairs completed €luring the year in the main Fire Station have put that building in as care :and satisfactory condition, Lieut. McNamara after years of faithful service in our police or- ganization retired on pension during the year. Two new sergeant, were appointed and it is felt the organization as now constituted shauld be adequate for several years. Under the supervision. of Lieut. Reilly a beginning has been rra caiC in the orderly handling of the Town's motor traffic. New traallic: rules have been promulgated and this important branch of polite wnrk- van now he approached in an orderly and legal njanner. Social Agencies As stated in the last annual report, those types of relief formerly believed to be aff a tempuratry Mature have now become a perrnaatent Dart of the municipal -,trueture. As such they must be financed .and administered. Their {:an11u4al cost has added ca tremendous load to the municilial huilget which in the final analysis is burne U12nost entirely by real estate. This particular problem has recently Been analyzed and reported upon by a recess Committee of the Legislature. It i to be heaped that some niethod of local tax relief may be found and generally lagreed upon which will in part at least, segregate the great cast of social welfare f'roin the other- 01AiUat•y and ne cessa ry fu.ncti€iris of local p,�'Overnment. Uuring the past ,year the W. P. A. netivities have continued, All sewing projects are now housed in the old Grant School Building. Several "white collar" pro ects have been :started and others are lrlanraoi 1. Numerous sidewalk- ,and street, projects- have been completed and ample reserve work has been approved by the Federal authurlties. Ira racier to finance material aan(l incidental costs which the `['cawn as required to assurne, nn additional ailipoet pri ation will be necessary in the earl Y spring. Building De;aarimvnt The retirement on pension during the year of William 1-1. Nilson, Building Inspector for many years, required the appointment of .a tvmporaai'y Inspector pendirip, as Civil Services examination oar which a pernia rent appointment vaust be based. Mr. S. A. Ajera kin t}i all- pointed to this position. In a supplementary report to the Selectmen lie has Pointed out certain weaknesses in the "I`r)wn's building regultatiarrs 'j)jarulti have prompt attention. A. conimittee is now considering this prrcitileatr and it is impottaant that it report .and r•ecommenclations ixc giver1 thin Town Meeting as early as lrcissible in order that our Zoning rogulaations may lie acietpuately protected ::nd strengthened. 126 WATERT(lWN TOWN REPORT 1913 r marked the beginning of a Contr•ibu Lory Retiremeirt System for Town employees. The Act authoritinK the establishment of this system was approved and accepted by vote of the Town in November 1 93f. The Retirement Board appointed by the Selectmen to operate this system based in part on contributions by employees has orgt inized its matey details and laid the ground-work for its efficient administration in the future. It has been recognized and understood that the early years of flit, operation of this retirement plug would require substantial Town ap- propriations to finance its requirements. This is necessary clue to the retirement of the older ernploy+ee:3 who as members of the system, have only contributed minor amounts into the Town Treasury from �a]aries or wages. For this J-eaLwOrx in 1988 wid for a number of years following until the zystern's finances become self-supporting, the Town must meet its liabilities out of current income or otherwise. In conclusion the Board desires to express its a ppreriattinn and gratitude to all of the Town employees for the splendid spirit oi' co-operation and effort given hy thein during the past year.

From June 1st to December 31st there was a considerable increase. So much so that August and September expenditures approximately equaled those of August and September of 15)36. The expenditures for November and December were far in excess of the previous year. There Avere several evident causes of this increase. First, the breakdown of the Real Estate Building boom. Then the W. P. A. lay off of all aliens, sending many to the Welfare for assistance. Follow- ing this the W. P. A. gave a decided preferwice to all veterans. For a considerable tirne few nosy-veterans were placed on W. P. A. Relief and consequently came to this department. These things, together With the general business "recession," greatly increased our load.. This in spite of a certain amount of relief from the Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children (Mothers' Aid) Departments. Our case load at the beginning of the year was three hundred and forty cases. This represented about one thousand three hundred and sixty individuals. By rebid-year} July 1st, the number of cases had dropped to two hundred and sixty, with approximately one thousand and. forty irrdik iduals receiving aid. The normal seasonable drop would have been more than this. December 31st our case lead had increaSed to three hundred and fifty-four cases with nice thousand four hundred and sixteen individuals. It is a noticeable fact that here, as elsewhere, the greater number of cases opened on our books are repenters; that is, they Have received aid in the past. The latter hart of the year, however, there was an urrusua4lly large number of new cases; that is, those who have never received assistance. In many of these cases they come from families that have always been self-supporting. This indicates an increased number of unemployed in the community as well as a decrease of individual resources. The total relief expeditures for the year was $135,218.00 as com- pared with $14 ,-1`?�-00 for 1936. These figures include only aid for the relief of individuals residing in the town and for Watertown Settled cases that: we are boarding out in bonier or hospitals. It cloys not include the anxsunt Watertown has to gay to other cities and towns for Watertown Settled cases residing outside of our boundaries, These latter payments are offset by payments from other cities and towns 1 fi WATERTOWN TOWN UPORT to' Water.-towm. Another thing, which should not be overlooked in re- -viewing our Welfare expenditures, is tlae reimbursement from the State for unsettled cases aided here. The amount of this reimbursement dur- ing the year 1937 was 35,901..70. The estimate of expenditures for nett year must be a guess. There are no stable facts on which to make €'reliable estimate. The trend of the last few months would indicate a much larger expenditure than last year. But if the W. P. A. activities whieh have developed during the last of December and the first of January continue it will materially affect our expenditures. With ,conditions as unsettled as at present, it may he advisable to snake two appropriations as in the pest year. If this is done, howaver, we should, at the time of our annual meeting, make sure that the funds for a considerable increased appropriation will be available at the later meeting. Aid to DependentChildren When the Mothers' Aid Law was changed, to conform u-Ith the Federal requirement so that the State could participate in the Federal contribution, we expected a considerable increase in the num- her of these vases. This increase did not reach our expectations during 1937. The coming;year will probably shave a greater increase. Inasinuch as the Federal Government reirnburses orie-third, up to a certain amount, it is to the advantage of the Town to give assistance under this Statute, wherever possible, rather than through Welfare (Outside Aid). The expenditures in this department during the year amounted to thirty-six thousand one hundred and forty-nine dollars ($36,149.37) and thirty seven cents from the Tawas Appropriation and ten thousand and seven. ($10,007.19) dollars and nineteen cents from Federal re- imbursement, malting a total of forty-six thousand one hundred and fifty-six dollars ($46,156.56) and fifty-six cents. The number of cases receiving assistance January 1, 1937, was thirty-seven (37) and December 31st the number was fifty (50), an increase of thirteen (13) cases. Old Age Assistance As was expected, there was a great increase in the number of cases receiving assistance during the past year. January 1, 1937 there were one hundred and fifty-five (155) active cases. The increase dur- ing the year ,was one hundred and nineteen (119) new cases and REPORT OF BOARD OF WE,LFARE AGENT 137 eighteen (18) transfer cases from ether cities and towns, making a total increase of one hundred and thirty-seven (137) cases. There were eighteen (18) cases closed by death; twenty (20) cases closed by transfer to other cities and towns; seven (7) cases closed for other reasons. At the close of the year there were two hundred and forty- seven (247) active asses and an approximate monthly lay roll of three thousand nine hundred and thirty-four dollars and eighteen ($3,934.18) cents. During the year there were some minor chairges made in the statutes and regulations governing the administration of Old Age Assistance. Under the new statute the prosecution of children for not assisting their parents was taken away from the local boards and placed entirely in the hands of the State Department. Our local de- partment has never found it necessary to take any court action along this lime. A new regulation now tdl aws the recipients of Old Age Assistance to be absent from the State for not exceeding thirty days in any year without losing any part of their assistance; provided they notify the local department before they leave the State and when they return. Previous to this a deduction was made froin the amount of assistance given them for every day they were absent from the Mate. It is expected that there will be a considerable increase in the mimber of cases during the coming year, but not as many as during 1937. Administration The work in all three departments in increasing. The need of consttiatit supervision and checking is imperative if the large sums expended are to go where they are most needed, and not into the hands of the undeserving. With all .our efforts we find some cases where we have been deceived. One case (and the worst one figured in dollars and cents) will illustrate. The applicant had been receiving sinall arnounts of Welfare Assistance at different times over a 1)eriad of about four years. During the entire period there were family bank aceounts, in the different banks, totaling at one bane over five thousand S.5,000.00) dollars. This was discovered only during a reinvestigation. The total amount of relief given, together with interest amounting to ever five hundred ($550 }.00), ;was refunded. There is no department where permanency is more needed. Not only must we have experienced personnel whe know the law, but if we are to save the Taxapers' .money and at the same thiie give the de- serving relief, we must have investigators aazd visitors who, as far as possible, are acquainted with our relief population. The increased space available when the 'i'G'. P. A. Offices ivere. 138 WATEXTOWN TOWN XBPORT moved to the old Grant School Building has been much appreciated. It made it possible to separate the Welfare (Outside Aid) from the Aid to Dependent Children and Old Age Assistance Departments. Respectfully submitted, W. H. LUCAS, A Uev t, REPORT OF INFIRMARY DEPARTMENT To the Hoiw-rable Bourd of Public ll',elfrare. 'Gentlemen: J herewith submit my report as Keeper of the Infirmary for the year ending, December 31, 1937. The total number of inmates have been thirty-thrice, -which includes re-admissions. Eight have been removed to another place of support, five secured employment; one was transferred to the Cambridge Hospital; one to the Saint Elizabeth Hospital; one to the Middlesex Sanitvrium; one to the Westboro State Hospital. There are sixteen inmates at present. The average number has been seventeen. We have several inmates wh€r have some chronic ailment who need special care and attention, Our inmates at present are all men anti practically all are permanent cases. About orie acre of land was tilled and planted which furnished us with fresh vegetables a greater part of the time. All surplus vege- tables were sold. I was obliged to purchase four additional locker, for the increased number of inmates. A new rear door was purchased the old one having rotted badly. Painting; and minor repairs were made to the interior of the building. The outside of the building was given two coats of paint, a W. P. A. job which was not completed, inasmuch the gutters should have been repaired .and new odes installed, which was not done. The present condition of the gutters are very bad, some sections having rotted away. I am asking for an appropriation of $1,0.00 for new gutters and repairs.. I am asking for an appropriation of $1231.00 to pay for the cost, of a security fence around the: Infirmary which is very necessary. The grounds have been used by everybody as a public thoroughfare, passing over the lawn and the rest of the property without anyconsideration of damage which has happened many times. The children use the same as a playground and bicycle speedway which is nothing less than a common nuisance. REPORT OF INFIRMARY DEPARTMENT 139 I wish to thank the visitors who have made gifts to the inmates. I wish to thank the Watertown Emblem Club said the Lend-a-Hand Club for their many gifts at Christmas which brought much Sunshine to all the inmates. I wish to thank the Watertown Grange for their May-day gifts and all others who in any way contributed to the comfort and happiness to the inmates. I wish to thank our Tour. Physician, Dr. Walter N. Secord who has carefully attended to all inmates who have been ill. I welcorne visitors during reasonable hours. Gifts of reading material are always acceptable. In closing I wish to thank your Honorable Bour•d for your kind and careful attention. GEORGE H. WHITE, Keeper of InfiTmary.

McNamara was retired on September 15, 1937. Patrolman Daniel J. Sulhvan died on June 19, 1937. Sergeant Andrew T. Donnelly was appointed a Lieutenant on No- vember 25, 1937. 140 WATI�RTOWN TOWN REPORT Patrolman Joseph ). Stead was appointed a Sergeant on August 21, 1937. Patrolman Edward A. Murray was appointed a Sergeant on Au- gust 21, 1937. Patrolman Edmund H. Norton was appointed n Sergeant on No- vember 25, 1937, Richard T. Ryan was appointed a Patrolman on July 15, 1937.

Keefe was appointed a Patrolman on December 16, 1937. Sylvester M. Luring was appointed Clerk of the Department on A.pAl 23, 1937. Crime The number of arrests for the year is 1139, an increase of 108 over the year 1936. There were 121 cases of larceny reported. Very little of value was taken in many of these cases, but nevertheless they count as a larceny case. Thirty-one persons wvere prosecuted for this oiTense dur- ing the year. Forty-eight autos were reported stolen during the year. All cars were recovered. Twenty personas were prosecuted for Using an auto without authority which, in reality, is what these thefts were. The breaking and entering cases showy a decrease of S, the num- ber being 78 in 1936 and 70 in 1937. Twenty-three prosecutions for this type of crime were anade during the year. Much time and effort is put in toward the suppression of this crime and the apprehenaion of the perpetrators. Several of these eases are now in the process of completion, and arrests are expected. shortly. Fifteen robbery cases were reported for the year. Of this num- ber six cases were cleared by arrest of the persons responsible. One of these cases, after investigation, was found to be unfoundiA. On January 21, 1937, a robbery was committed at the Textile Thread Co., Bacon Street. W feel certain that the persons responsible for this are known an-d we are making every effort to apprehend them. On April 8, 19377 a robbery was committed at the First National Stone, Common Street. One of the persons in this robbery was shot and killed by an officer of Division 14, 13oston, and while we knew who the other party was, and were making search for him he was shot and killed by any officer of the Stoneham Police Department during a holdup in that Town. REPORT OF CHIEF OF POLICE 141 On September 18, 1987 a robbery was committed at the Dexter Spa, Dexter Avenue. We have information corrirecting tWO Versoals with this affair and are still making search for them. Liquor.: Laws The licensed liquor establishments, on the whole, were conducted in conformity with the Law, and the Rules and ltegulatiorrs governing same. No arrests were made during the year for Violation of the Ligaor Laws. Arrests for drunkenness show an inerease of 30 over last year, the number being 446 in 103E and 476 in 1937. Traffic On .dune 4, 1.93 7 a set of Traffic Rules and Orders for the: Town ;was adopted by the Board of Selectmen and tur ne-d over: tc the Police for enforcement. Notification of this fact was given, the public by publication in various newspapers. The officers were given instruc- tion as to the incthod to pursue in the enforcement of these Mules and Orders, and the results have been ,gratifying. Five hundred and twelve accidents were reported during the year. Of course, this includes all accidents, whether there is a persuna.l in- jury or not. All serious :accidents are thorou lily investigated, and where it appears that an operator is at fault, he is prosecuted for "operating negligently so that the lives and safety of the public might be en- dangered." There were thirty-tiro such persons prosecuted during the year. Four persons were killed by motor-vehicles this year, a decrease of twvo as compared with 1%U) and a decrease of :=i as compared with 1935. In these four cases the operator of the car was prosecuted for Manshruglit,er and "operating negligently so that the lives and safety of the public might he endarigered.": I renew nry- recornrneudation for tra.fTic lights at the intersection of Galen and Wateftoww-n Stecets. Radio During the year 2357 calls were stint to the three radio-oquipped cams. The service received from Station WPFA, Newton r alice, has been excellent. To promote efficiency, and in order that the Department may he "equipped with the necessary- Weapon to curb the "fast moving" cr uri- nal of today, I. recommend tliat a two-way radio outfit be installed. 142 IVATERTMN TOWN REPORT Recommendations The two Ford Cruisers in use for the past year should he replaced. These cars have been in constant use, day and night, and will not give efficient patrol service for another year. The Plymouth Sedan, in use for the past two years, should. be replaced, in the interest of economy and efficiency. The four motor-cycles which have been in use for the bast four years, should he replaced, not oily to insure tine safety of tlxe rider but also to pr oinote efficiency. Conduct of Officers One of our members, Patrolman Daniel I Sullivan, met with accidental death on June 19, 1937. Patrolman Sullivan was a eoDsc - entious and efficient policeman and his passing is regretted. Several officers werecommended in General Orders for meritorious work and were awarded extra time off. Two officers were disciplined far infractions of the Rules and Regulations. The general conduct of the members of the Tlepartinent has been good. Conclusions l extend my* thanks to the Justices of the Superior and District Courts, the Honorable Roard of Selectmen, the Town. officers, and pri- vate citizens who co-operated with this Department during the year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. MILMORE, Chief of Police. II.EPC3RT OF FIRE IIEPARTNIPNT 143 DEPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT To the. Houor,rable Board of Selectmen, Gentlemen. 1 hereby submit the following report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1937. The membership of the department remains the same as past years and consists of (4) members classified as follows: one (1) permanent chief; three (3) permanent captains; four (4) permanent lieutenants; one (1) call captain} one (1) call lieutenant; one (1) mechank an; thirty-eight (88) permanent ladder and hosemen. Alarms and Losses The total number of alarms for 1987 was 442, an increase of 1' over 1936. Of these 276 were still alarms and 166 were bell alarms sounded from street boxes or sent out from Fire Alarm Headquarters on notification of fire. False alarms received totaled 28, an increase of 5 over 1936.

The unsinsured lass included in abov,, report. was 2,900.00. Of the total losses involving 47 repoitahle fires only 10 were in excess of $1,000.00 with the largest loss $4,750.65 in a two-farnily dwelling. Fire Prevention inspection by meinb+ers of the department has been continued with excellent results. Continued progress is being made in the removal of dilapidated buildings and hazards, We have had the support of the Selectmen and the Building Inspector, in fact all citizens have cooperated in this work. I any pleascd to report the removal of the Old Town Hall under the direction of the Selectmen. The new 750 gallon, cab-enclosed Maxim pumper, after Under- writers' tests and inspection by the Selectmen, was accepted and placed in service at East End Fire Station. A rlew car has been provided for the Chief of Department, both of the cars have replaced tars that became unfit for further service, 144 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Remodelling and improvements at the Central Fire Station and that portion formerly occupied by the Police Department has been carried forward as far as Permitted by the appropriation allowed for this work. Wheir portiGns of the old building,erected in the Winter of 1 055-0G -were uncovered, it was found necessary to replace wood timbcrs with steel, columns had to be replaced and an entire new roof covering on the flat roof. Upon request of the Department of Public Safety new fire walls and doors were I rQvided, the entire heating plant was removrz(l from the areas occupied by the motors and placed in the basenient of the old. Police Station. These items were not anticipated and involved addi- tional expense. The portion of the building now accupied by the deparbnent is practically eonxplete€1 excelrt for soine minor details. The apparatus floor is now safe, the room is reasonably well fire protected and is separated froin sleeping quarters by fire dooms and a closed pole hole— all a decide+.l improvement over previous conditions. The old quarters of the Police l)epjartinent is unfinished except heating, electric wiring and fixtures which Was done in connection vIth the Fire Station as one unit. I trust this work 'will be completed during the coming year its order that we may have the additional rooms which are needed. Since 1932, the appropriations for department maintenance have been reduced regardless of ieceirmendation of the. Chief of Depart- ment and the Board of Selectmen, with the result that it has been im- possible to ease for buildings, apparatus and equipment to the point ()f efficiency that I believe the citizens demand and are willing to ljay for, The result is that everything has been neglected €nd the time has ar- rived when extensive repairs and replacements must be made that could have been kept up had the appropriations been provided as recom- mended. The East )end Station, erected in 1912, must:have extensive putter and down pipe repairs. The estimated east of this work is $100.U0. F recommend this a.niouM be granted". For years the men at this stating► have had to live in a building with basement conditions so bad from seepage water and sewer conditions, that it has been condetuned by the Health Department as -unsanitary, This condition new leas reached the stage where it has ahout ruined the base of the heatini boiler and should be corrected at once by the installation of an electric pump. The estimated cost of installing pnnip,drains and equipment is $425.00. I also recommend this anxount be grunted. The insta.ritu eous gas heater at Last Laid Station is earn beyond repair because of extensive use the past years and must be renewed or other arraiigernents arcade to furnish hot water. This inethocl of furnish- ing continuous licit water should be dispensed with by connecting fli- ]REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT 145 rectly with the oil burning heating boiler, eliminating the use: of gas and cost of maintenance of the present method. The estimated cost of new 80 gallon 300 lb. pressure holler installed complete is $2 9.00. 1 r•eco=nend this amount be graarted. Apparatus and Equipment The ladders on Ladder Nro. 2 with one exception are 22 to 30 years old. Constant wear, checking, -warping and repairs, together with the ageing of the wood, has become so extensive that further use of these ladders for fire service is unsafe. This ladder equil)-ment should be renei ed the coming year. The estimated cost is $941.00 and I ieconY- mend this amount be granted. Protection of firemen from injury in the performance of duty is a duty that must be carried out because an injured fireman is of no use but is a liability. The greatest injury a man. can receive is a head injury. For yeas-s we have guarded against head injure by providing proper protection of head covers known as a helmet. None have been provided for a number of years. As a result some men are rcrluired to work without hearl protection; other helmets are in such bad shape from age and use that they are not sufficiently good to protect. As these hel- inets are expensive, I recommend t1Mt 2-D be purchased this year and the balance next year, thereby spreading the cost over a period of 2 years. I recommend an approi-aintion of $250.00 for this purpose. During, the past year an appropriation of 1.200.00 was available for uniforms for the members of this department. The style of uni- form was changed to conform to styles adopted in recent years by neighborhood departments. Each man was provided with a uniform (2 pieces) 2 shirts and a cap. While, the amomit of appropri€atican "Was not enough, each member contributed a sham: that made it possible to uniform all at one time. It was a fine gesture on their past and no doubt is appreciated by our citizens. Because of so many urgent de- mands for improvements, I hesitate to ask for an appropriation for uniforms or replacements in 1938. National Board of Fire Underwriters Survey At the request of the Selectmen a survey of the department was conducted for the first tirn,e by Vie INationarl Board -of Fire 'Under- writers. TILe survey was made during July and August, is complete in every detail, and from my knowleclge. of this Board's work, is most ,generous and fair. Because of it's length it is riot printed as part of this report, but I ale print their recommendations with my continents and recommexrdations to the Selectmen. Fire Department Recom menda f ions of the National Board Organization o. 1. That an assistant chief he appointed and suilident 146 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT company officers be provided so that there will he one on duty with each shift of each company. (l felt eerta:in that this ~'mold be recommended as all departments are now operating this uTay. First we must adopt enabling legislation before we can have an assistant ehief. O►it present set-up, the senior officer is acting chief in the absence of the chief. This ar- rangement has worked out well, it gives these officers an opportunity to gain experience that will qualify them when a vacancy occurs, As long as your present chief or any subsequent chief is willing to work 24 hours a day an assistant chief is not necessary,—thereby saving a salary of an assistant chief. Regarding additional officers, we now have ample officers in proportion to number of privates.) No. 2. That the membership be increased so that there will be present at all times including* the vacation season, six men clays and eight at ni# ht in. Engine Companies 1 and 2; five men days and seven at night in Ladder Companies 1 and 2, and four men days and six then at night in Engine: Company 3 and the recommended en- gine company. (The membership in my judgment is a, little low, especially so at vacation time. Here we depend upon our mutual aid systems, but I look forward to an increase in personnel just as soon a,9 the Town's financial condition Nvill warrant it.) Companies and Apparatus No. S. That eventually an additional engine company, equip- ped with engine of at least 750 gallons capacity and carrying; large water tank be provided. (I agree and recommend that eventually an additional engine company be placed in :service. This in part will bring the personnel to a higher standard.) No. 4. That an engine of at least 750 gallons capacity and equipped with a large water tank be purchased and put in service with Engine Company 3; the present engine to be placed in reserve. (Regarding replacement of old engine now known as Engine 3 purchased .July, 1919. This has been recommended in my previous re- ports anti I again recommend that a new engine be purchased in 1938.) Hose No. 5. That each engine company carry 200 feet of 3-inch, with a total of at least 1,000 feet of 2'.,,-inch aril 3-Inch hose, with a complete spare shift in quarters: all hose to be fitted with 2!,a inch coupling%, properly beveled and of gyrational Standard dimensions. REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT 147 (The value of 3-inch hose is questionable. t do not recommend it's use at this time.) Equipment No. 6. That the following equipment he provided where not already furnished: a. To each engine. Bale hooks, nozzle holder and two waterproof covers. b. To each ladder truer: Auger, battering ram.hose roller, oxygen helmet, ;saws, a wall hack and chain, and a portable gasoline electric generator with Hood lights and necessary electric cable. (Should the amount recommended for department maintenance be granted, the several items referred to may be furnished within the appropriation, It is planned to include as part of the equipment of the proposed replacement engine a portable gasoline electrie generator with flood lights. This has been contemplated for some time but appropriation would not permit it.) Operation No. 7. That a drill tower and school be provided where men- hers shall be regularly drilled in the use of all appara- tus, aplfliances, Bose and ladders, and in salvage work and in life sawing; these drills, to be under the super- vision of a drill master who shall have graduated from a modern drill school. Pump operators to be instructed in the operation of their engines at draft and at hy- drams. (The drill to-wer and school is the most urgent item recommended as a result of the survey. Members of this department are receiving instructions as rapidly as circumstances Nvill permit at schools in Bos- ton, Arlington and Brookline. Afore than 50% of our members are graduates of these schools and hold diplomas issued by the State De- partment of Education. 'While a tower and school are desirable, it is doubtful if the Town is in a financial condition at this time to warrant the expenditure of money necessary for this purpose.) No. S. That engines be tested annually and after extensive repairs, fallowing methods published by the Na,tionaI Board of Fire Underwriters, (Engines are tested annually, although not strictly in accordance with National Board Methods. The Performance of the engines speak for themselves as testified to in their report of tests.. We have never had extensive repairs to engines, as up to date this has not been .necessary zo consequently no tests are matte after repairs.) 148 WATERTO'4 N T4V4`N REPORT Recommendations In addition to items preyicusly reported and recommended, I ur- gently recommend an appropriation of $1200.00 for the puVehase of 1?,." and 21/2" hose. The base appropriation for 193 i was inadequate to properly equip the department. During the past year, 1000 ft. of hose was destroyed; the annu.il spring hose test will reduce the supply now on hand below a proper margin of safety. I repeat my recommendations of previous years—that fire alarm boxes be provided with some system of light that will assist in locating thein more easily -It 'sight. I recommend that an additional telephone be placed in fire alarm headquarters for use of both departments as an emergency measure to insure receiving of alarms over the phone. At the pt-went time a trunk line serves this purpose between Fire Alarm and Fire Head- quarters; should this trunk line break down there is no auxiliary method of emm"unicatiOrt, nor is there anyone on duty nights at the Administration Bl lding telephone booth to supply information to Fire Alarm. This condition is taken care of between fire stations by a pri- vate phone maintained at these stations by the men employed there. This appears, to be ample protection against a possible breakdown of the trunk-line service 'between fire stations. It does not seem reasonable that the Chief of the Department should be forced to maintain telephone service at his own expense be- tween his home and Fire Headquarters for the emergency .service lie is called upon to der. The amount Of mcney involved is so small that 1 believe this :service should be restored. I recommend that the telephone service denied the Chief of Fire Department for the bast 2 ycarg be restored. With increase in alarnss and other wc ji k of mernbers of the depart- me3rt we have hud an unusual number of injuries calling for medical care, involving all unusual expense for which no app}-apriation is pro- vided. The Town I'ltysician is called when available to render first aid for which no charge is made,—thereafter the injured mast pro- vide his own medical care. This does not appear the proper praeedure inhere these men must take all risks to render the service expected of them. I have been forced to deny payment of doctor•s' bills because of lack of appropriation, others leave been reported to the Selectmen for payinent from any funds a-vailable. I recommend that an appropria- tion of $300,00 be granted to meet doctors' bills for inert injured err the performance of duty'. I recommend that a survey be made of all batilrlings awned by the Town, especially the lnfirrnaiy and School Buildings for the purpose of installing automatic sprinklers with sprinkler alarm to Fire Head- quzar'ters. This recommendation is for the purposc. of better safe- RE,PORT OF TOWN COUNSEL 149 guax!ding the lives of persons involved, as it is the best known method of fire extinguishment, together s rith a reduction of insurance rates that will pay the entire cost of installation in a surprisingly short time and is a reasonable guarantee against possible destruction by fire of buildings involved. There is no cost for the sua vcy. It is worth every consideration and I trust it will be made. In behalf of the members of the department, I thank your Hon- orable Board. for your co-operation and advice during the year. We pare especially grateful for your efforts in improving conditions at Fire Headquarters and pledge ouzselves anew to render the best service possible through you to a grateful citizenry whom you represent. To the members of the department I extend my sincere thanks. You have responded to many fours of extra duty and have faithfully rendered service expected, %rith the result that our fire losses continue low when compared with the values at risk. Respectfully submitted, JOHN W. WH>;AltN, Chief, Fire Department. REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL Watertown, Mass., January 3, 1938. To the Hoiwrtrble Board of Selectate?t c+f floe Ir habitunts of 11'atertasa n: Gentlemen: In :accordance with the law and by-laws of the Inhabitants of Watertown, I hereby make my second annual report to you.

Upon hearing on the Auditor's report, judgment was entered against the 'Town in the amount of $1280.00 and the "Town appealed, on the questions of law raised as aforesaid, to the Supreme Judicial Court. It will doubtless -be on the list for that court in February. This is the only case which the Town has lost since I became Town Counsel and I feel that we have a good chance of winning this one on the appeal. 5.

The action of the Town against the City of Boston Nvas brought in the: Middlesex Superior: Court at Cambridge to recover for aid furnished various persons whose legal settlement -was in the City of Boston. dust as was the case in the claiin of the City against the Town, the Town's claim was extended back over a period of years and doubtless it was in part nut- lawed. That case is pending. I am infarined that the Welfare De- partments of the; City ajrd Town respectively have been co-operating with each other in investigating the various details of birth claims and it is highly probable that an amicable nrijustment can be arrived at by the parties so that bath cages will be disposed of without trial. 23. Daisy G. Potter vs. Board of :'assessors The petitioner claims over-valuation in the year 1936 of the premises numbered 27-53 Main 'Street and 14-14 Merchants' Row..

Croft vs. Town of Watertown The Plaintiff claimed to have sustained injuries wheir slie stepped into a hale in the sidewalk at the corner of Morse and Galen Streets. Investigation by the police and Engineering Departments show that the hope in the sidewalk was not within the limits of the Town High- way. Liability was, therefore, denied and thereafter I had a personal consultation with the claimant. 1 do not believe suit will ever be brought. 28.. T. Stuart & Son Company vs. Board of Assessors This is an action for abatement of tax for the year 1236.

It went across the street to the left, over the sidewalk, broke through the fence at the edge of the sidewalk and came to rest ul) side down in the creel: adjacent thereto, The defect claimed was that the space between the tracks of the Boston Elevated street car litres and the street was below the level of the rails of the tracks. I understand. claim has also been z-nade against the Boston Elevated Railway.

The case was tried and argued by counsel. The Court suggested that the plaintiff make a reasonable offer of settle- ment. Settlement was made and approved by the Court upon payruent of the principle amount of the tax and after the Department of C+orpo- ratimis and Taxations of the State had authorized abatement of interest grad charges. The Town released its tax deed. 93. Catherine H. Petite vs. Town of Watertown. This case was begun during the year in the Superior Court for the County of Middlesex.

Murphy vs. Town of Watertown This action was in the Superior Court for the County of Middlesex. The plaintiff sought to recover daanra.ges for injuries due to the de- fective condition of Wells Avenue. The ad damnuni in the writ was $3(JKJ.00. The liability of the To- n was questionable due to the fact that the plaintiff had failed to comply with the necessary statutory procedure. Investigation disclosed that the claim waas otherwise valid. Although there were substantial injuries, the plaintiff accepted an offer of settlement by the Town in the amount of $a-.00, when the case came to trial. 98. Elaine Pipes, 'Vaughn Pines and Cambridge Hospital vs. Town of 1Vaterrtown Two actions were brought against the Town to recover damages for injuries received by Elaine Pipes, minor daughter of Vaughn Pipes, as a result of being struck by an automobile owned, 'by the Town and operated at the time by a Town employee and to recover expenses of hospital kills, medical attendance, nursing and medicine. Elaine Pipes was severely injured and Was on the danger list at the Cambridge Hospitals for several days. The :amount of damage against the Torn, if recovered, would have been substantial. The bill of the hospital for medical attendance, nursing rind medicine amounted to approxi- 166 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT ntately $500.00. The hospital could, doubtless, have collected its bill under the statutes of the Commonwealth from the City of Cambridge Welfare Department and that Department would have had a valid claim against the Town of Watertown for whatever it was compelled to pay. After Iengthy negotiations for settlement, I was able to dispose of both cases by payment of $350.00 for theclaim of the injured child and $250.00 for the claim of the father and hospital. 94. Carmel.! C'apinici vs. Town of Watertown The claimant says she was injured because of a defect in Grove Street.

Peter Hflboian vs. Town of Watertown This elaim is based upon the same clause as the claim of Mr. ,Najarian in the preceding paragraph. After lengthy negotiations, the Town settled the claim by paying 945.00 damages. 102. Cecilia Pecoraro vs, Town of Watertown This is a claim far damages on account of injuries sustained by the claimant when she fell on the sidewalk on Laurel Street about one hundred. feet west of the premises now numbered 108 Laurel Street. The fall was alleged to have been caused by a defect in the sidew-11k. After investigation, the Town Engineer and Police Department re- ported a defect at the place where the accident occurred in the form of a depression twelve inches deep. The claimant sustained severe in- juries and had expended for medical attendance, care and nursing more than $100.00. Liability seemed apparent and I was able to effect a settlement in the amount of $200.00 before the ease was reached for trial, REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL 167 103. Cases against the Board of Assemors I have reported to you, from tine to time, concerning various cases before the Appellate Tax Board brought against the Board of Assessors to secure abatement for property taxer. All of such case, except those hereinbef,ore reported, halve been settled and disposed of. None of such cases have ever been tried by me. I had nothing to do with the settlements as the Assessors took care of that matter themselves. Such cases now pending before the Board of Tax Appeals are specific- ally enumerated in this report. 104. Patrick McDermott vs. Town of Watertown :lair. McDermott claimed damages against the Town for the con- struction of Hill Street and also because of construction of said Street made the construction of a. retaining wall necessary by him for the protection of his property. The street was constructed under the Betterment Act and betterments had been assessed against the clairn- ant's property. I prepared a release to be executed by him in con- sideration of an abatement of a portion of such assessment. I ain informed that Mr. McDermott executed the release. 10.i. Town of Watertown vs. City of Somerville This action was in the Superior Court for the County of bliddlesex. It was brought to recover money paid by the Town to the Massachusett.9 Memorial Hospital for the board and care of June Buff`. This action was reached for trial during the year. The suit was brought some years before I was appointed Town Counsel. Preparation for trial disclosed that the cause of action Nvas outlawed by :statute before the action was brought.. The City of Somerville refused to honor the claim on that account and as the action could not be maintained, I had the suit dismissed. 106. Town of Watertown vs. City of Lowell This action was brought in the 'Middlesex Superior Court to re- cover money paid by the Town Welfare Department in aid of the family of Albert McCormack. When the case was reached for trial, the City of Dowell raised the question of the legal settlement of Mr. Mc- Cormack. There was some doubt as to whetlier or not the defendant was liable but it offered to pay the amount of the claim less the value of the services rendered to the Town by Mr. McCormack during the period when the ail was furnished. The total amount of the claim is $677.24. The Watertawn Welfare Department computed the cost of labor furnished the Town by Mr. lcCormack its $217.00; the City of Lowell paid the Town of Watertown $460.24, 107. Town of Watertown vs. Watertown Excavation Company The Town obtained judgment and execution in the amount of $994.61 against the defendant in the District Court of Waltham in 168 WATElt'lit7WN TOWN REPORT October. The execution was delivered to the sheriff who, was unable to find property or assets of the defendant sufficient to satisfy the execution or any Dart thereof. The claim was for ulipaid motor vehicle excise taxes for several ears. The attorney for the defendant in- formed me that application has been made to the Legislature for dissolution of the defendant corporation. I advise that a Bill in Equity by filed at once seeking the appointment of a Receiver to marshal the assets of the corporation and distribute the same to Its creditors. 108. TnLgtee Cases I prepared trustee nnmvers to be filed by the Town Treasurer and filed in Court by him in such cases as the. Town was named Trustee in suits brought against employees of the Town. Where were twenty such cases. 149. Tax Redemption Certilicates At the request of the. Town Treasurer 245 tax redemption certifi- cates have been drawn and I have attended to the proper execution of each of them. I have also attended, when requested, to the various legal matters arising in the various Town Departments, the preparation of votes of the Town Meeting, preparation of Articles for the Town -Meeting warrants and many ether matters. I have been present at almost all the meetings of the Board of Selectmen and assisted and cooperated with them in the settlement of various legal problems encountered at such meetings. In addition I have given many written opinions and much legal advice at the request of the various Toren officers or De- partments. I have also discussed various affairs of the Town and ,given opinions and legal advice to "!'own officers, agents and Gathers upon numerous occasions on the street, at the Administration Building, at my office and at nay home.

Respectfully submitted, OTIS D. ALLEN Town Engineer REPORT OF WIRE IIEPARTNIENT 173 REPORT OF WERE DEPARTMENT Tf) the Honorable Berard of .Seleetriten: Gentlemen. The annual report of the 'Wire Department for the year ending December 31, 1J37, is herewith submitted, Due to changed conditions, namely the razing of the old Town Tall structure, this year, it was necessary to re-locate the Department stock and supply quarters to the site of the Town yards on Orchard. Street. A suitable building was provided and specially equipped for that purpose. However, housing facilities for motor equipment, which had hitherto been garaged at the Church 'Street Annex of the Old Town Ball had to be transferred to property now rented as the Town garage on Sprint Street. In the inattev of maintenance and construction to the Signal System many boles were relocated or replaced by renewals in numerous sections of the Town ir. pursuaryce Of the custOMRVy annual practice of the; Boston Edison Company, the 'dery England Telephone and TelegraphCompany, the Boston Elevated Railway, and the Rostore and blaGine Railroad Company: this last was especially the project of street widening of the grade crossing at the junction of Nichols Avenue and Arlington Street, thereby entailing necessary changes on the aerial lines and underground connections of the Fire Alarm and Police Signal Systems. The necessary wines, cross-arms, fittings and equipment were installed for these changes and several of these installations involved the transfers of police signal loxes and Fire alarm boxes. A thorough check-up was made of all signal limes, hotly aerial and underground, to maintain efficiency of service. Renewal of decayed cross-arms, hroken ties„ insulators, drawing up, slack, clearing of grounds and retention of proper spacing from the lines of Public Utility Service were included in this task. Nevertheless weather- beaten lines in many sections will have to be attended to in the near future- Standpipes, pedestals, aerial terminal boxes, fire alarm boxes and police signal boxes were painted and all signal boxes, froth fire alarm boxes and police signal boxes, were ailed, tested and examined Periodically throughout the year in order to insure their proper per- formance. One combination pedestal containing a fire box and a police box was damaged by a motor vehicle casualty. There was a. removal and relocation of foul- fire alarm tappers during the course of the year. 174 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Incidentally, I repeat, that there is opportunity for improvement, in so far as the fire boxes are concerned, by a system of retiring a portion of then annually and replacing them with modern loxes 'so that eventually the old type of box will have been completely eliminated from the systern. The problem of checking lines of the various fire alarm bore circuits, primary circuits, and secondary circuits, also the police signal circuits for grounds received constant attention so as to afFoz•d a maximum efficiency on the lines at all times. In this regard, how- ever, I call attention to the underground cable running from a point on Alain Street to a point just beyond Beacon Square that shoes symptoms of weakness due to the fact that the cable has practically outlived its usefulness and such a condition calls for a r'enewaI of the lane in the near- future. Moreover, the lines running along Mt. Auburn Street from Upland Road to the Cambridge line present an unsafe condition as the sipial wires are constantly exposed to the dangers of high tension lines all the way. Therefore, while I am not asking for an appropriation for this work at this time, nevertheless., I recommend that the continuation of the underground over this area be given consideration. Alterations of the Central Fire Station necessitated the running; of temporary lines for continuous perforuriancse of signal devices until the new lines were permanently located and properly cut over for the present functioning of signal apparatus there. Likewise the trans- ferring of the police department to new headquarters entailed the work of maintaining signal service at the former quarters until addi- tional lines were installed at the present quarters to continue that branch of the service. During the past year the activities of this department have been completely surveyed by engineers from the National Board of Fire Underwriters and a report is now in publication. A. much needed unit of equipment iii the form of a new truck with a special booty attached is now in service of the department and the results obtained from its use are very satisfactory. Maintenance of street traffic lights throughout the Town con- sumed considerable time, and h?arned out lamps and deficiencies in mechanism resulted in many calls for night work. Maintenance ex- penses for traffic lights is covered by the Street bighting appropriation, exclusive of labor furnished, which is taken care of by the Wire Department, and f recornmend that such procedure continue. Relative to the Fire Alarm Central CNl3ee: form operators aTe working on regular schedule wid the duties of that branch are being conducted in an efficient and co-operative mann(_-r. The premises em- hodyirzg the Central Office were maintained in the usual presentable manner. REFORT OF INSPECTOR. OF BUILDINGS 175 The Street Lights were attended to carefully. Applications for new lights, and complaints in regard to troublesome or burned out lamps, were investigated, reports being submitted accordingly. Relative to interior wiring:-1063 permits for wiring in dwellings and industrial plants were issued. This wiring necessitated over 4300 inspections, as many jobs required repeat inspections. As to eQmmercial inspections — no permits are required — as such inspections are made at stores and places of business that have been vacated. and current turned o1r. Upon approval of wiring and notification to the Boston Edison Company the service is restored. The fees for inspection hermits amounted to $521.50, and Said amount was submitted to the Town Ti•easurer. I wish to express my appreciation to the board of Selectmen for their co-operation during the year. Acknowledgments are made to the heads of various departments, to the Gamewell Co,, the Boston Edison Company, the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co., and also the entire personnel of any own department for the courtesies and co-operation they have shown me during the past year, Respectfully yours, PATRICK J.

The report, of the Tree Warden for the yearending December 31, 1937, is herewith submitted: According to the Casual procedure NV'e have given the trues through- out the Town a general pruning — but because of the limited appropri- ation we were obliged to leave considerable work for future attention. A number of the old, decayed and dangerous trees in different parts of the Town, which were a menace to public safety, were cut down. 'These trees should be replaced by new ones. We set out again this year 200 new maple trees, some of which were replacements. We do, however, need to purchase an extra number of new trees to replace those cut down and damaged. To purchase, plant and properly tare for 200 trees I recommend an appropriation of at least $2000-09, as all newly planted trees should have the neces- sary tree food and tree guards. At the present tame we are unable to meet the requests of the REPORT OF TREE WARDEN 179 citizens of the Town for new trees to be set out in front of their properties, or on the stivets where now there are eery few or practi- cally no trees. We have sprayed the trees in tht Town for the Elan Leaf Beetle and Aphis. Everything possible is being done to fight these pests, which cause so much yearly daina,ge. To help keep under control the devastation caused yearly by the Elm Leaf Beetle and aphis I would recommend an appropriation of $I000,00. For the general care and maintenance of the trees I reconnuend an appropriation of $5000.00 as the trees Avill need tree food and tree ,wards, wid some of the older trees will require bolting and general pruning and trimming. The Tree Warden Department ways helped this year by the Federal W, P. A. Tree Trimming Project — which furnished work- for the unemployed. They .assisted in the removal of large and dan- gerous trees and in the general pruning and trimming, which other- %vise could not have been done by the regular men employed in this department, with the amount appropriated for this work. These men were laid oft` in the month of May but were again employed in October. I would repeat nay recommendation for an appropriation of $1200.00 to build a garage on Town property for the use of the Tree and Moth Departments. It is essential that the have some place to adequately store our trucks, equipment and material. %Ve had to arrange for extra storage space this year because of the tearing dov4-71 of the old Towzi Tull Annex where we formerly kept one of our trucks at no expense to the department, A garage for these departments would enable us to keel) our tools, supplies and equipment in the same place as the trucks and thus avoid lass of tools, materials, and time. I extend my thanks to the Board of S,electmen, the Boston Edison Company, and the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company for the cordial co-operation given me in the work of the Tree Department during the year. J(3I-lN C. FORD, Tree Warden. 180 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT December 131, 1937. To the Honorable Bemrd of Selectmen: Gentlemen The report of the Superintendent of the Moth Department for the year ending December 31, Ii337, is herewith submitted: The work of suppressing the Gypsy and Brown Tail Maths was carried on this year in the usual way. Al) Town trees, as well as those an private property, were carefully inspected for infestation of the Gypsy, Brown Tail and Satin Moths, and the Cottony Maple Scale Where thee egg clusters of the Gypsy Ninth were found they were treater] with creosote, and this was followed by spraying when the foliage came out in the spring. 11 paa�ts of trees infested by the Brown `Pail Moth were cut out and burned. The Elm Leaf Beetle and the 'Pent Caterpillar are continuing to infest our trees, and the best way to cope with these pests is to spray — and these trees were extensively sprayed this past springy. The Elm Bark Beetles has also done some damage and we have had to offset this by extensive pruning. We have continued to keel) close watch against the invasiows of the Dutch Elm disease and are doing all possible to keep the trees free from dead wood --•- which causes unknown diseases to attack the shade treesi The Moth Department was helped this year by the Federal W. P. A. Moth Project — which furnisher] work for the unemployed. They assisted in the distruction of the egg clusters, and considerable ]]Mare ground was covered than otherwise could have been by the regular mien empioyed in this department with the money approp Hated for this work. Due to the unusual spring weather the trees this year were: very badly infested and we were again handicapped in the work of spray- ing because of the lack of prober equipment. As in past years we have had to let out most of the work of spraying on contract. For the past few years i have recommended the purchase of a new sprayer and equipment for the Moth Department-, as the sprayer which we have sloes not begin to touch the high trees in the Town and they cannot be efficiently sprayed. I would, therefore, repeat my recorn- mendationf for an appropriation cf $1 00.00 for the purchase of a new sprayer and equipmmnt for the Moth Department. This new sprayer is absolutely necessary if we wish to carry on effectively the spraying of our high trees. REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN 181 The work of the department for the corning spear should include extensive spraying for scale, disease, and the leaf eating pests which are so harmful to our shade trees. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. FORD, upo-intendent of MoM Department. REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICLAiN January 12, 1938. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen I hereby respectfully submit my annual report as Town Physician for 1937. During this period I have made 2394 examinations, consultations and house visits on Welfare patients. In addition I have 3nade 69 examinations for NA'orkmen's Com- pensation, Soldiers' Relief and pension cases. This clues not include Police Station calls. I have also attended four hearings on Workmens' Compensation cases at the office of the Industrial Accident Board, State House. I wish to express my appreciation of the co-operation of the Board of Selectmen, the Agent of Public Welfare, the Agent of Workmen's Compensation, the Agent of Soldiers' Relief, the Police Department and the treads of other departments. Yours truly, WALTER N. SECORD, M.D., Town Physician. 182 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF SOLDIERS' RELIEIF AGENT January 15, 1D39. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen- Following is a review of the nia.lor activities of this department for the year ending December 31, 1937. Total number of cases aided, including State and Military Total number of cases aided, including State and Military Aid 140 Number of persons represented 495 Number of active cases December fist 80 of which nearly one-half represent disabled veterans, widows and orphans of veterans. Request for medical :and hospital care for veterans and their de- pendents, shows an increase over previous years, Most % orld War veterans now range from forty to fifty gears of age; it, therefore, seems only reasonable to anticipate an increase in requests for as- sistance of this type in the years to came. Due to the increase in prices of provisions and other necessary commodities and the upward trend of rents, we were advised by the State Commissioner of State Aid and Pensions to increase the basic schedule of monthly allowances to veterans by at least 10%, plus a reasonable amount of fuel, as of November 1st, 1937. The increasing requests for medical and hospital care, and increased monthly allowances, plus the uncertain business conditions, make it difficult to definitely forecast the needs of the department for the coaling year. The amount of relief we may be called upon to extend will, without doubt, depend largely upon the demand for workers in private industries, In August, we receit°cd official notice that under the provisions of the federal Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 19371, World War and Spanish-American War veterans were entitled to preference for W. P. A. jobs. Upon receipt of this notice, your Agent immefliatel notified veterans receiving Soldiers' Relief to Ina.lce application for W. P. A. work, with the result that upwards of twenty (20) veterans were assigned jabs and notified to report for work early in September. Since. that time, thirty-two (32) additional potential Soldiers' Relief cases have: been assigned to AV. P, A, projects. Eight (8) additional cases have been certified and are now subject to assignment. Six (6) relief cases having a Watertown settlement and residing in other REPORT OF SOLDIERS' RELIEF AGENT 18 municipalities have, through my efforts, been assigned AV. P. A. work in their respective towns. (66 cases to date). It has been necessary, in many cases, to supplement the W. P. A. ivage Nvith Soldiers' Relief. However, the partial transfer of our case load to NV. P. A. }projects has enabled us to meet all requirements without exceeding the total approprintions for "Soldiers' .Relief and Military Aid," and "State Aid," voted at the annual March Town meeting. ("Soldiers' Relief and Military Aid," appropriated 40,(00) ("State did" appropriated 2X0) Upon my recommendation and with the approval of your hoard, arrangements were made with the State !C`cinmissioner• of State Aid and 'Pensions to have his agents audit all our active cases. The audit was made during the latter Bart of March, at which time there were ninety-nine (99) ,active uses. The results of this audit proved ivoTth- while in every respect. Seven (i) unworthy cases were found. Relief xvas immediately suspended in these cases and upon recommendation of the State Commissioner and with the approval of your board, re- fund of Soldiers' Relief money, which appeared to have been collected illegally, was demanded. Refunds have been made to some extent and payments are still in progress. Later in the year, I uncovered tw-o more unworthy cases and. suspended relief. All, but one of these nine (9) suspended cases, were the year round type and represented an annual expediture of Soldiers' Relief money of approximately $4,300. The State's chard foi- making this audit was $151. E wish to takt the opportunity to extend thanks to our local W. P. A. officials; also those of the Cambridge and Boston offices for the interest they have taken in the veterans' rases. I wish., also, to express my appreciation to your Honorable Board arnd to representa- tives of the several local veterans' organizations and their auxiliaries for their co-operation and support in my endeavor to deal fairy Xvith both the veterans and the tax-payers. Respectfully submitted, CLIFFORD S. LOVELL, Agent, 184 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF TOWN VETERINARIAN To the Hono-rable Board, of Selectantn: Gentlemen: My annual report as Town Voterinarian and Inspector of Animals is respectfully submitted for the year ending December 31, 1937. During the year a total of 28 visits have been made investigating; dog bite cases reported to me by the Board of Health, Police Depart- ment or the State Division of Livestock Disease Control. Seven visits have been made for neighboring Roa.rds of Health in cases when resi- dents of other tarns or cities have bem bitter, by Watertown dogs, In all cases of dog bite the animal is either quarantined or restrained for a two weeks period as required by law. Two cases of rabies appeared in the Town during 1937. Beth were in the same neighborhood and no history of exposure could be obtained. Neither dog had been vaccinated against rubies. Inspection of all properties in the Town on which farm animals are kept has been carried out and certification of health and sanitary conditions made to the State authorities, a copy being furnished the owners. No tuberculosis in cattle has been found during the year and all cattle in the Town have been subjected to the tuberculin test. Twenty-six visits have been made to the Torun Barn to examine or treat Town horses. Medicines have been supplied as needed, Several horses had to be destroyed during the year because of incurable con- ditions making there unfit for further use. No outbreaks of infectious diseases in animals have occured dur- ing the year.. In carrying out the duties of my Office I wish to express apprecia- tion of the eo-operation, and llolpfui attitude taken by all Town Officials and l mployees. H. W.

To the Townspeople of Watertown, �lt�ss xclrusetts. It is the custom at the end of each year to set down in concise form the more important work of the School Department in order to provide an historical record and to determine whether or not that which has been done has been worthwhile. Following the custom, it is, therefore, my official duty, as chairman to report for the School Con)- mittea. The membershil) of the committee changed, after the spring election, and 51rs. Alisee Sullivan took the place filled previously by Mr. Roscoe F. Daughters, whose term of office had expired. Although the school appropriations authorized by the town for the fiscal year wore not in the amount originally requested, we have been able to administer them so ns to snake possible most of the desirable changer, in school organizatiDn which ww{e recommended in our report of a year ago, and a small balance is being returned to the town. Some salary adjustments were made; departmentalization in our high school extended, with financial recognition to department heads for increased responsibility; a guidance program started; sick leave paid; annual increments prow-ided for teachers receiviing less than the established maximurn salary. For sufficient funds to do these things we are grateful. The teacher- selection problem is ever with us and different schools of thought exist as to how it should be solved. We do not want one- sided educators in Watertown Schools, and we are not afraid to allow our pupils to think for themselves and to make up their own minds. If mention is made of subjects which concern the life of all, it is the purpose to let our bays and girls knows whit are the facts and wily growth of experience they can judge for themselves. Any other policy would be ruinous and would strike at the very structure of our system of education. The committee feels that it has devised a work-able plan and is glad to report that it has resulted frequently in an unani- mous choice on the part of committee members. Most of our towns- people believe, and rightly so, that teachers are appointed because they are qualified to teach, and our purpose has been to keels this in mind in all of our teneher appointments, A subject rif paramount importance and one which should he settled soon is that of the appointment of an assistant to the Superin- tendent of Schools. The work of administering our school system, supervising its personnel, and properly inaintainijng its school buildings can well be divided with beneEcial results to the town and its future citizens. The science of education is a live subject and we must provide leadership to make it fully effective. Although no substitute has yet been found for hard work and study, the eomrnittee has endeavoreii to provide a parallel activity to 192 WATERTQWN TOWN REPORT supplement and round out the sebool life of our ehildren. We are, therefore, developing the physical education department, in our school. system, and it is our expectation that this activity will show much improvement in the }rears ahead, A pressing problem in our schools today is the building up on the part of our faculty or an esprit de corps, upon our student, body a sense of consideration for publie property, and upon all a desire to keel) our public buildings anti grounds worthy examples of our town pride. Loyalty and co-operation based on a mutual understanding of all school problems are absolutely essential to the success of our system of education. It is believed that a definite advance in school morale can be made by the formation of a student governing body in our Junior anti Senior High Schools. Witlr simple, but understanding guidance, the organization ivill develop school and civic spirit of which sere may be proud. Infaraction of school males, departure from good practice, lack of consideration .for others and for public property, may well be re- f erred to ancT acted upon by this student govermment. We again recommend for consideration of the town the completion of the Phillips School project. The present Francis School building should be replaced by a unit providing additional rooms which might be used for the special classes of our school system., and providing, also, for the headquarters of our School Department and its admini- 3�trative and supervisory personnel. Further cooperation of townspeople in school affairs is necessary in order that school problems may be solved with their assistance, and this should supplement the activity of our Parent Teachers Associations. Educationally and practically minded persons, working together, can accomplish much good in Watertown. Many subjects of interest are touched upon in the reports of other school officials incorporated herein, and we reeomi—rend them to your attention. Your School Committee has endeavored to iive up to the best traditions of the office. It realizes that not always are the new things, good nor the old things bad, and that it is not possible to wave a magic wand and expect improvements to follo,�ti• in its path. Advancement is male slowly and by careful steps, one ahead of the rather, until the heights of progress are attained. In conclusion, maiy I exprex.� my appreciation of the privilege of having been ,given the opportunity to serve the town as a iniernber of the School Committee and to kuy colleagues for their support during the year. Respectfully submitted, C RL G. A. JOHNSON, Chairman. REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 193 IN MEMORIAM WINIFRED JENKINS Appointed Teacher, September 9, 1908 Died, March, 1.937 JAMES KE rLLY Appointed Janitor, October, 19211 Died, August, 1937 194 WATER'I'(}WN TOWN REPORT DEPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT To the Srhoul Committee- Ladies and Gentlemen: I herewith submit for your consideration this annual report of the conditions and work in the publics schools. Our main problems— efficient instruction, adjustment of work to individuals, ecoiiomyr in -finance, upkeep of buildings, careful supervision of regular and special subjects, health of teachers and pupils, public service within proper limits, and the like—have been similar to those of pre- ceding years. The entire personnel of the system has worked cheer- fully and well as hitherto in perforating the mane tasks and duties devolving upon theta. School Growth The story in Watertown has been very steady growth in the Junior and Senior High Schools but of little change in the Elementary Schools. The East Junior I4ighSchool has three vooms housed in the Hosrner building and the East ,Junior building is Filled to its capacity. The West Junior High. School has three home rooms placed in the hall and the pupils of these three classes care for their }gooks and clothing in lockers which are placed in the corridor on the third fluor. It seems to me that plans should be made to follow the recommenda- tions of the Columbia Survey and take over the Marshall Spring School as an annex to the West Junior and that the seventh grades be assigned to it. In order to do this it would be necessary to build a new Ele- mentary School in the north end of the Town. I therefore recommend that the School Connnittee take the necessary steps to obtain land on which to build such a building, Athletic Program At the beginning of the school year ouv athletic program was earefully revised and a Physical Director was put in charge of health and physical education and a teacher coach was re signed to each of the major and minor spurts. The coaches, nurses anti doctors were made responsible to the director. Guidance Program This year a definite gaidar:ce program has been organized with a Director of Guidance in charge. We have the same prograin of Nvork in all of the seventh grades with a counselor in charge at each school., We also have a definite plan of guidanaa for the tenth grade at the Senior High School with a director and a counselor in charge. It is the expectation that the counselors assigned to the seventh and REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 195 tenth grades will move along with their classes to grades eight and eleven respectively and that new counselors will be assigned to grades seven and tear next year and the same thing will be repeated the fol- lowing year. In this way the grades in the Junior and Senior High Schools will have counselors far all pupils in two years after the present school year. Organization of the Elementary Schools -kt the end of the school year Miss XlargaFet Sullivan, who began her teaching experience in Watertown anti continued for fifty-ore and one half years, retired. Miss Sullivan had been principal of the Browne. School since its erection in January, 1930. l wish to speak of the faithful and efficient manner in which sbe carried on her work while in our school system. This year Mr. Francis K. Mooney -ams assigned the principalship of the Browne and Marshall Spring Schools and Mr. Earl C. Nelson was assigned the principalship of the Phillips- Francis and Parker Schools. A masters' assistant who is in charge in the absence of the principal, was appointed in each of the schools and a secretary was appointed at the Phillips-Francis district. By this plan we were able to save quite a sizable sum in the salary account of these schools. Retirement Daring the fiscal year bliss Carrie Tozier, appointed to the Senior High School Faculty in September, 1919, and Miss Susan Lane, of the West Junior High School Faculty, appointed in .September, 1.09, re- tired, both had done faithful and efficient service: in their work in our syst+ern. Sick Leave Restored It is a pleasure to report that the School Committee voted to re-store sick leave to our teachers and the town voted an appropriation of $2,000.00 to pad* for the same. I am able at this time to report that it has been passible to lay the ter, day sick leave and have a small balance left. Recommendations That steps be faked by the School Committee to :acquire a site for an elementary school in the north part of the Tarn. That the School Committee request of the Selectmen that the worlr which is being done under the W. P. A. in connection with our buildings and grounds lie brought to a conclusion .at an early date. l refer particularly to the gyounds around the 'Vest Junior and Marshall Spring Schools, also the grounds of the Phillips-Francis SchovIs. 196 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT That the program of Cmidance be extended to the eighth and eleventh grades respectively. That the appropriation for nuthiteiiaure be increased so that the 7oofis of our buildings may be put in limper condition. There are, inany phases of school work that cillould be covered by this report. To this end, I have asked the High School principal and several of the directors and supervisors to submit to the a report of their wc-rl%. I am there-fore including a portion of their reports as a prat of rny annual report. REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Herbtrt H. Archibald The school year opened in September with an enrollment of 1192 divided as follows' Seniors-157 boys, I-N girls; Aliddlers-183 boys, 214 girls,; Juniors-231 boys, 221 girls, Post-graduates 5 boys, 5 girls. The total enrollment figure gradually grew to a Inaximurn (October 22) of 1283. This is a slight increase over the enrollment figures of a year ago, and the Faculty changes Lv meet the situation are as follows:— .Miss Carrie Tozier, for many years a valuable teacher in our Eiilg- lish Department, bandling Commercial English divisions, felt obliged to resign, and the termination of her faithful service to the Town was one of much regret. Her place is being admirably filled, however, by Miss Mildred Norcross who comes to us with the following training and experience. Miss Norcross was graduated from Mt. llolycke Col- lege and received her Master's Degree at Harvard Un,versity. She has taught in Pittsburgh, Penn., Malden, Mass., Melrose, Mass., Brook- ly-n, N. Y., New London, N. H., Vassalboro, Me,, and So. Hadloy, Mass. Miss Norcross is a very splendid addition to our Faculty mem- bership and is carrying on the fine work left by Miss Tozier. Miss RIary Boyle was given us as an additional Faculty member, writing as a graduate of Radcliffe College, having a Master's Degree at Boston University and a year of practice and apprentice teaching at this High School and other high schools. Miss Boyle has already sho%vn very decided interest in her work and genuine ability. Miss Althea Johnson, for a year highly successful as a substitute teacher, was given a permanent appointment to take the place of the resignation, mentioned in last year's report, of Miss: Alice Hodge. The resignation of Mrs. Ruth Vahey Verrill from the position of High School Secretary was received in September and the promotion of her able Assistant, Miss Angel Dedeyan, was effected. PM i 84 Katherine Guidrey, a graduate of the Class of 1935, has been made Assistant Secretary. Some of the outstanding high points in the contribution of the School Department to a successful school year are now given. REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 197 Four Department Heads have been added to the school orgalli- Fatinn as follows: English Department—Miss Ruth Appel; Social ,Science Department—NIr. A. Robert Kelrnan; Mathematics and Science —Ilr. Elmo D. NlacC:urdy; Commercial Studies—Aliss Agnes Semple. Distinctly we feel that the co-ordination of the members within these Departments is being greatly enhanced, and a unification. of aims and objectives of the various Departments is already in evidence. The introduction of a Guidance program with the appointment of Air. R. Glenn Smith as Acting Director and Counselor with Miss Rose Hughes, another counselor, will care adequately for the individual needs of the members of our entering class—the tenth ,grade. These two counselors are meeting with all of the Junior Class, in sections of thirty-five, in what is called Social Ethics. This Course very definitely aims to acquainting the boy or ,girl with his school and his new enArournent. Oricnbut.ion it the main objective of this Course, and it is the purpose of this instruction to build up social attitudes and concepts which will make for better citizenship. This is greatly needed. We are glad that the Committee has so generously planned for the addition of two Guidance counselors each year until such time as all three classes in school Nvill be under the proper Guidance set-up and program. The visual instruction apparatus which has been given us at a considerable expense to the Schaal Department line already proven its value and worth to the school in the matter of visual instruction aids to all curricula. Mr. Irving Keene who has made an extensive study of this phase of secondary school education has mapped out a very real and helpful program showing films cowering work in all De- partments. Many of these have been of such general value as to warrant being placed before the entire student body in assembly. This type of learning process is recognized now as not only helpful but ex- tremely valuable. The very definite effort an the part of the School Committee on the matter of adjustment of salaries has helped materially in the building up of a proper morale among our teachers. The movement which has sho-wn teachers that we desire to proceed in accordance with a definite salary schedule is a move in the right direction. Under this system, when carried to the point of universal application, unfairness is totally done away with, and every teacher will feel that he is receiw'ing what lie justly is entitled to receive. The generosity of the School Committee in appropriating $25f). fl toward our athletics is distinctly appreciated inasmuch its it is very difficult to tape care of the expenses of an athletic program such its Watertown High School has had for many years. The definite organization of the Physical Education Department with 11`r. Edwin H. Ward as Director is bound to show increasing benefits to the school. Already the effect of heading up our coaching 198 WATERTDWN TOWN REPORT staff is for the drawing together into a definite program of athletics the work of several members. This is increasingly stimulating and helpful in the administration of the High. School athletics. The school greatly appreciates the support of theCommittee in the matter of planning an outdoor graduation. This we felt did ;away with one of the chief objections to holding graduation exercises in our auditorium, namely, the exclusion of many people who feel it perfectly right that they should attend the graduation exercises of our public Secondary School. The graduation of a class of 818 very effrectively took place on our terraced lawn in the rear of the building. Two thousand four hundred seats were filled and another estimated three hundred were accommodated standing to witness the exercises, all in all considered very efrectively carried out, We hope to continue this form of graduation program. In the matter of textbooks and supplies the teachers have generally felt that their major heeds have be6n met, and it is hoped that as the school curriculum expands and is revised to meet the needs of a changing social order that the may expect the continued support of the Committee in the direction of furnishing necessary equipment and books. Recommendations for changes and improvements. At this tune I have but one thought in anind. It is in connection with the need of revising our General Course. Quite obviously the work in our College Preparatory divisions, our Commercial divisions, our In- dustrial Arts groups and our Home Econninics sections is progressing in keeping with very distinct needs, aims, and objectives. Students enrolled in these courses know definitely the ,goal toward which they are heading. On the contrary,it hi equally obvious that: the students enrolled in our General Course, approximating 40% of our student body, are not mindful of any def nite goal or any definite purpose :for which the Course is intended. An hispection of our curriculum sheet will show that there are specific aims stated for our College, Commercial, In- dustrial Arts, and Nonce Econon-iics curricula. The aims and objee- tives of our General Course are left to one's imagination. The Fac- ulty Council has worlsed this year determined to so revise the General Course as to make it definitely fit the needs of those boys and girls who are not ,going irr±Mond high School with 'their education, who do trot want any of the vocational arts training, but v-ho will, nevertheless, wish to graduate from public secondary school, go out into life at one job or another and take their place as citizens in this and other communities. We propose to make Citizenship as our major objective to that which is now our General Course. We propose further to .lake this Civic Preparatory curriculum. include three major core sulilects to be had each year during the High School course. These three gore subjects are English, Societal Science, and Natural Science. We have heard much about the tendency of public secondary .schools trying REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 199 to make the pupil fit the course, not trying to fit the pupils for life. Our new curriculum which we propose will have in its teachings con- sideration liven for equipphig the boys and girls with all that is necessary in the fulfilment of their becoming better and more useful citizens. Details of this l shall 1}e prepared to pre-sent try the Schoen Committee before the elections are made for next year's subjects. REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Edwin H. Ward, Director In Septembers the School Committee toted that the Director of Physical Education should also take over the duties of Faculty Manager thus putting all the responsibility of the Health, Physical Education, Athletics and Faculty Manager programs under one head. This crested a position far too lame for one person. A Faculty i4'liaraagees positions,if properly handled,is really as much as one teacher can do, along with his class room teaching. The aim of this department is to teach and promote a program that will embrace Health Education, Physical Education, Atbletics, Hygiene, Leadership and Sportsmanship. The program should be followed closer' so that there will he uniformity of advancement in all the schools. The care of the health of the students comes under this depart- ment through the doctors and nurses as well as the physical histruc- tors. A definite prograin in hygiene has been planned. By esanrilia- tions, tests and lectures, we are endeavoring to build clean, healthy and active bodies and minds in the pupils of the Watertown Schools. Pasture is one of our most important objectives. So far this year we have had excellent results. Defects discovered in the early stages can easily and quickly be corrected but those cases of long standing require more time, patience and attention. Poor pasture is largely due to poor habits of standing and sitting, and we need the co-operation of pupils, teachers and parents to correct them. Fart of our day's order for every class consists of posture exercises. This takes care of the milder cases but the more serious cases receive the attention of the instructors and they prescribe special exercises for the pupil to do at home every day. A. ,great many ailments its life can be traced back to poor posture. The doctors and nurses in their eu- arninations have given much time and attention to these defects. After the eve and ear tests in September the school nurses re- examine any defective cases that are found. 'These become follow- up cases by the nurses until the correction has been made. During the year I have observed that the teeth of the students in the Junior and Senior High .Schools are in poor condition. After 200 !'X ATER 1 OW3`! TOWN N REPORT inquiring into the different cases I find it is due to lack of funds at borne. I therefore very strongly recommend that the facilities of the dental clinic be made available beyond the third grade. All the coacher, come under the direct supervision of the Director. Now we have the coaches working as a body for the school rather than as individuals. All schedules of major sports are submitted to the Super- intendent of Schools for his approval. In selecting games the coaches are consulted. The various coaches conduct intramural games of their particular sport Tor those unabley to take part in the varsity games. This program is carried on before, during, and after the regular varsity season. The coaching system, as we now have it, will prove itself very effective. By having a coach for each short, he can give all his attention and interest to his particular sport. He can start intra- mural games early thus spending more time on fundamentals and the selection of his varsity team. Mr. Keene, basketball coach, started early this October axad the fine showing the tea.rn made in the Alumni game: proves we have taken our first step to--card better basketball teams. Coach O'Brien and his assistant Herbert Berry, in charge of the football teams, brought about the third change in coaching in four years. Such changes are often unfair to the players. It means new personnel, system and plays. This starts the players and coaches off with a handicap, causing delay, defeat and then loss of interest. Under these conditions our present cinches did ai fine piece of work, building up spirit, interest and courage. They deserve €a great deal of credit. U-ith seven veterans back for next year we are looking forward to having Watertown High School one of the leading teams. Our soccer team and the fine work of John Craig cannot be over- looked. Watertown is known all over the state for its fine soccer teauL The fact that we were invited to lala:y Dartmouth Freshman at Hanover is evidence of our prestige. This year we have an Athletic Council consisting of the Principal of the School, the Director of Physical Education, a representative of the Faculty nest connected with athletics, a representative from each class, and the Coach of the sport in question. The athletic Council ,acts upon such questions pertaining to Athletics as might logically come before it. I mcommend that the Keystone Machine for testing the eyes be made available in the schools in the same way as the audiometer ig now used for testing the ears. I also recommend a Junior Varsity Coach for Football. He will conduct a squad made up of Junior and Middler boys interested in football but too small to glee part in the varsity work. A regular schedule will be played thus building up a larger varsity squad, giving there a more thorough traijung for their seiner year and the first team. REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 201 Any hays in the Junior High Schools, who so desire. may be allowed to join this squad; This will do away with the handicap of training boys and putting on a winning team all in one Year. REPORT OF THE SCHOOL CAFETERIAS Marion P. Keep, Supervisor The School Department Cafeterias in Watertown are well estab- Iished and in operation in the Senior High School, the East Junior High School, and the West Junior High School with a total enrollment of 2933 students*a surprisirs g nearness to lust year's enrollment of 2938 students. The school lunch is an important factor in the teaching of health and nutrition, in the establishment of good eating habits, the selection of the right kind of food, in training for good social conduct and civic responsibility. WC11-cooked wholesome food, prepared from the highest quality ingredients under sanitary conditions, is attractively served the students. Under the present set-up, the school cafeterias are definitely run for the benefit of the student with a minimum of profit, They must be run on a sound, well-established financial basis, however, for it, addition to the cost of the food sum lies, all equipment Whist be main- tained, improved, replaced or added to from the Cafeteria Department funds. Also, ali expenses such as the wages of workers, up-keep of equipment, care and cleaning of the cafeterias are paid by the Cafe- teria Department. Constant effort is made to keep all equipment in good condition and periodic check-dips, oiling and repairs are: matte. To meet these expenses it is necessary to build up a depreciation fund, The Cafeteria Department, under the direction of a Home Eco- nornics trained Supervisor•, is completely self-supporting, each school cafeteria operating as a self-supporting unit of the whole. All records are accurately Dept and accounts are audited each year by a paid accountant like airy well organized 'business. In spite of the Lremendous increase in the cost of meats, eggs, and knitter and the advance in price of all canned goods, the Super- visor has been able to meet all cafeteria expenses to date without inei-easing prices to the students -or chainging standards of quality or servings. The menus are made out by the Supervisor ai)d changed daily. They offer nutritious and attractiv6"Co nbinations, The daily hot dish., which includes meat (such as roast beef, fresh native chicken, ham- burg steak, veal) or fish„ potato, gravy, vegetable and one slice of graham bread and batter sells for ten (10) cents. Soups, made every day with fresh vegetables and meat stock and served with crackers, sell for five (:3) cents a bowl. ,A4 choice of three kinds of sandwiches 9-42 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT is offered daily for five (5) cents each. Desserts are made with whole milk and fresh eggs, thus offering high nutrition value, and sell for five (5) cents, In order to keep in intimate touch with the three cafeterias ana see that the high standards are kept rap, the Cafeteria Supervisor visits each cafeteria daily and alternates for the entire lunch period among the three schools. REPORT OF THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT Jahn Black, Director The enrollment in the various shops of the Serr_ior, Junior and Elementary Schools has remained almost Me same the ]oast year as it was in 19 '6 when it reached its peak. During the early* half of the year general business had shown a decided increase in production which allowed many of the older boys to find employment. As the year comes to a close we find work not so plentiful and a few} of the boys have returned to school. It is gratifying to know that most of the students who took the Industrial Ants course found employment more readily because of the broad training they had received in the various shops of the school. When one considers the nrany subjects taught it is little wonder that our boys fired themselves fairly well etluipp€;d for their 11fe's work when they graduate. Only recently a statement was made that there is at the present time a scarcity of skilled labor. There is no better way to become a skilled imeehanic than to receive a general training in the fundamentals in several vocations which will assist the student to decide for himself the type of work he wishes to continue. We have been fortunate especially in the Senior Pugh School to have equipment that allows such a general training. The work of the Lath grades in the elementary schools is practically the same as last year with the exception of a. few charges in type of projects. The work of Mr. Moore and Mr. Mitchell in this grade leaves a firm impression on the minds of the younger boys of the importance of working with one's bands. At the Junior Righ Schools, mechanical drawing is being taught one week out of each month which permits only a very limited amount of tune for this subject. During the past year a greater number of larger projects have been made in hoth schools, Nvhich have been a credit to the department. The shops have also constructed various projects for general use in the schools. The enrollment in several classes has reached the maximum. There has been a class of woodworking for girls during the last period of each Mandary. The enthusiasm shown by the fifteen girls warrants its continuance if open periods are available. REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 20 For the first time in tent years of its existance, two girls have been admitted to membership in the model yacht club. Each of them are building a 50-inch model yacht. The machine, electrical and print shops are taking cage of many jobs for the Town which not only gives practical training for the boys but is a direct saving in maintenance. The following recommendations are submitted for this depart- ment-- 1. Purchase of two steel cabinets, one each for the East Junior aiad West Junior Nigh Schools, to keep paints., varnishes, etc. 2. Purchase of three motors with switches and chain drive to coiplete the three lathes in the machine shop in the Senior High School. 3. The sum of $1000.00 be appropriated to complete the equip- ment in the machine shop of the Senior High School. There is a great nced of a universal ,grinder and a feat treating unit. With these machines our shop would be complete. 4. Now that the Senior High School has an up to date round " talking machine there is no suitable room in which to show pictures except the auditorium. As this department is anxious to use this machine in connection with visual education it is recommended that 4Vh.itehill Hall be equipped with dark cur- tains. REPORT OF THS DRAWING DEPARTMENT Florence R. Russell, Supervisor During the past year the art department in the Senior High School has been carrying on some very interesting and practical pro- jects. Twenty-five posters. were sent to the contest of the Latham Foundation. These showed a very high average of workmanship. One receiving a first prize of ten dollars, while four other seniors and two middlers received certificates of merit. The classes also designed and cut linoleum blocks for {Christmas cards. Orders were taken amounting to over twelve hundred Bards, with two orders for two hundred and sixty personal cards. The profits received from these sales goes to the District Nursing Association. These practical applications of the knowledge of design and color do much to stimulate interest in the art classes. Equipment in the Senior High School is in goad condition. We would like to have a yearly subscription to a. new and practical magazine "Art Instruction." Also, we gre in need of a feu new models for still life which if a small sum were allowed, could be picked up at very low cost whenever opportunity came: 204 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT In the East and West Junior High. Schools we are very touch in need of aG letter file. The classes collect much valuable reference material which we mount .and retain from year to year but we have no adequate or convenient plane far keeling it. We also are in treed of a block Printing press in each }wilding. Once acquired it would be permanent and with this added equipment pupils would be much better fitted to continue this type of work in Senior High School. A subscription to the School Ai-ts 11agazine in each of these build- ings would be much appreciated and do a great deal toward keeping the departments up to the minute in new rnethods of procedure. During the early summer through the cooperation of Mr. Moody and Mr. Kent we added a fine new cabinet for drawing supplies at the Nest Junior High Schools. This was constructed at a small cost and is a great convenience where the room is small for the number of p1:phs acconimodated. In the grades the classroom drawing has been carried on with quite .rs much enthusiasm as ever and results are quite as pleasing.. Our aim is to keep the school art up to date by the addition of new units of work, some new methods and materials each year, thus sus- taining interest of pupil and teacher. May 1 take this opportunity to thank teachers and principals who b3 their sincere interest have helped me to keels the work up to its present standard. I trust 1; shall continue to merit their support. REPORT OF THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Pena I. Bisbee, Supervisor Music has came to be considered one of the essential subjects today in our public schools. Where was & time when the music in- structor had to fight for recognition` often meeting with opposition from both school authorities and townspeople. But now since boys and girls have received their first inspiration in the elementary or senior grades to develop the singing voice or play an instrument pro- ficiently, music is fast becoming a major subject, 1 am happy to say that in Watertown the supervisor has ahyays had the hearty cooper- ation of all connected with the school systern; and lyarents frequently express their appreciation of what has been Bosse for their children. There are three musical organizations in the High School, tlrc baud (trained by Mr. Arnold L. Chick), the orchestra and the glee club in charge of the supervisor. All of these were well represented in the New England Music Festival heid last March in Hyannis, Mass. The band and the or•chestr-a, made many public appearances during the year besides giving the usual concerts. The glee club had two events and many of its mernbers took part in the annual operetta, REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 205 The Junior High Orellestr-as and singing groups give special Christmas and Memorial Day programs, as well as furnish music for other assemblies. Tiie joint concert of these orchestras last May had a record attendance. The training in ensemble playing is of inesti- mable value to the young people, while opportunity- is given for the development of special talent in solo work. In the elementary schools, music training begins with rote Singing and the correct use of the child voiee. Nate reek{lira,* is introduced iN the second grade and two-part singing in the fourth grade. Three- paart inusie then is not found difficult in the sixth grade. Technic and appreciation are included in the course-®-the Iatter• with they assistance of either the yictrola or the radio. Special groups and solo- ists have practice in public appearance at the assemblies and concerts given by each grade. The instrumental side of rausic is repres-ented by orchestras in many of the schools. These give a joint concert in the spring under the directian of Mrs. Jessie Drew, assistant supervisor, and this is always a very errjezyablc event. Recommendations. We are looking forward to the tune when Halrnruny, Apprcciati€rn, and History of Alusic will be included in the Nigh. School curriculum. Also we hone that snore the pr•ogrrarn can be so arranged that there will be two periods a Wreck for chorus or glee club. In the: Junior Thigh, the ideal situation would he to have a special inusic room and smaller classes than is possible under the present crews*tied conditions. Teaching in ar large auditorium is not very satis- factory, REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSES e wish to bring to your attention again the objectives of the public health nursing service to the school age groups, which are as follows: 1. To assist in c ommun eahle disease contivl by the recognition of early symptoms and by securing immunization. 2. To assist the physician in medical inspection and in the routine periodic physical examination of every school child. 3. To assist in securing the correction of defects and in promot- i ng health. 4. fin assist in securing special examinations and such follow-up as is necessary. 5. To particiliate in the pronlotion of hygiene and sanitation of the school plant. ti. To assist in securing proper instr•uctiorr of pupils and parents in the principles of healthy living. 206 WATERTCI4'YN TOWN REPORT During the year we have made: 1,143 Visits to schools 1'7,286 Inspections in schools (Pediculosis, shin, sore throats, rashes, and symptoms of communicable diseases.) 2,290 First aid treatments 1.,156 Dome Visits 90 Visits to hospital clinics 6,170 Pupils weighed and ineasured 89 Public health m"tings attended 6,155 Physical examinations—assisted physicians We have assisted the principals in giving the audiometer tests for hearing in all schools from the third grade through the Junior High Schools. We consider home visiting to be one of the most important phases of our work, for during the home visit we are able to interpret the school health program to the parents and to enlist their co-operation in the correction of defects. We are on the alert for postural defects and work in co-operation with the physical education department to bring about good irnsture insofar as it is possible. By our constant inspection of the school pupils Nye have had very fe%v pupils absent due to communicable diseases. In April, 1937, the Middlesex County Clinic for Tuberculosis tested 835 Isulrils—or 60"Ir of the population of grades 7, 9, and 11. Of this number, 1377 reacted to tuberculin-135 were X-rayed, and of these 135, 121 were negative, and 7 were referred for further observation- The Waverley Clinic for Retarded Children conducted three clines during the year. eery careful attention has been ,given to the prob- lem of obtaining complcte clinical histories for the work in connection with the Retarded Clinic. Examinations of girls and boys entering Junior and Senior High Schools shoe- that inost of the earlier defects have been corrected, demonstrating the immeasurable value of early examination and cor- rective follow-up work, also the co-opeza.tiotz and interest of the par- ents. We recommend very strongly that the facilities of the Dental Clinic be made available 'beyond the thirst grade, so that indigent defec- tive dental cases throughout the schools may receive this important attention. '4r►Te also recommend that the Keystone machbic for testing the eyes be made available in the schools in the saute way as the audio- meter is now used for testing the ears, SUSAN M. H ARDING, R.N. 111ARY C. CARNE3t, R.N. MARJORIE H, BEVERLY, -R.N. EDWIN H. WARD D rortvr of Physical Education avoid Healt;j REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 207 REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Benjamin T. Loring, M.D. Daring the year the visit to one o4�hool has been made daily. The physical examinations have been made in the fall term. Reports have been made monthly. Three football gatnes have been attended. No serious epidermic has occurred. It is my impression that the general physical condition of the schol- ars improves year by ye-tir as more attention has been paid to it. This seems especially marked in the matters of ,posture, clean teeth, and throats from Whic], tonsils have been removed. The improved facilities for health wort at the Phillips and High Schools are inach appreciated. The pre-scl;ool work Anne under the supervision of tilt Board of Health results in almost all the new scholars doming to school with defects attended to. The thorough examination of the lungs of contacts with tubercular eases by the experts from the ?Middlesex Sanatorium has not cli eovered any active lung trouble in the schools under my care. Where undemourishment was evident and the families were unable to meet the expense of the milk taken as extra feeding in the middle of the morning session, it his been provided by the Parent-Teachers Associations, and always with marked gain in weight and general con- dition.

Cav erly The Supervisors of Attendance investigated eighteen hundred and seventy eight cases of reported non-attendance during the year ending December 31, 1937. Two hundred and seventy of these cases were attributed to truancy and forty-nine to the indifference and neglect of the parents. Four cases were referred to the V4Waltharn District Court, three of which were dismissed after a probationary period dur- ing which the attitude of the pupils was improved. One pupil was canrruitted to the Middlesex County Training School, One, hundred and sixty-one cases of non-attendance were dine to lacy of clothing. These children were cared for by the School Nurses and Supervisors of Attendance through the Se11001 Welfare Fund which is maintained by the voluntary contributions of the school em- ployees. In accordance with Cha,ptei. 185, Acts of 1937, the Board of Select- men appointed the Supervisor of this department as their went for the distribution of eyeglasses and spectacles for needy school children. Six hundred certificates were issued for the employment of minors, eight of which were issued to minors between the axes of fourteen and sixteen for full time employment. Sixty-five minors were issued bad- ges for the sale and distribution of newspapers;. Although fewer certificates have been issued this year than last year it is noted that the period of employment is longer and the employment appears to ba of a more permaneart mature, It is recommended that more spacious and centrally located quarters be provided for the Attendance and Certificating Department.

Tearing the past year we have made some changes, at a slight coat, in the lighting at the Last Branch with resulting satisfaction to the patr•ans and the staff. During the coming year we plan to have more efficient lighting installed in the reference room. The present lighting was installed in 1901 and is in poor condition. Within a few months we have lost, through removal from Town two members of the library staff. In making adjustments of the staff our attention has been called again to the need of making a revision of the standards for the hbr•aryT star and of our salary schedules which were adopted in 1924. In the months before the Town meeting this matter will. be given careful consideration. '4`4'e feel that it is time that the North Branch building should be remodelled and adapted for the growing use of the library in this part of the Town. An article will be inserted in the Town meeting Nvar- riant asking for an appropriation for this purpose, `here will also be an article in the warrant asking for funds to insulate the roof of the East Branch, Respectfully* submitted, for the Library "Trustees, RUTH H. FURBER, REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN To the Trustees of the 11'atertown Free Public Library: Ladies and Gentlemen: I have the. honor of presenting to you the sevent eth report of this Library. It is also the twenty-first anniial report that I have sub- mitted to the Library Trustees. During the period of seventy yearn the Library has constantly progressed in its service to the Town. Ire 1037 there was a slight loss in eirculation- but service in the librairy and over the telephone has increased. The circulation for the year was 396,973 which was ,i12;,) less than, in 1936 but 12,321 more tharr in 1935. It is difficult to analyze these fluctuations. Removal from Town of good readers, stormy weather or good motoring weather, in. creased spending ability and roan;; other reasons might be given. 220 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT 117e are still circulating hnoks at the rate of 11 per capita at a cost of approximately 10 cents per book and it costs the Town but $1.04 per capita to ruaintain a library in each district of the Town with the Main Library open twelve hours a day. One-third of the population of the Town are registered borrowers of the Library and are making use of its many services. While the same rules govern all four libraries and the school deposits which make up the library system, the hours each building is open, the character of the population served, the fact that the Junior and juvenile departments occupy the same room at the Maier Library but have separate rooms at the East Branch, the fact that the adults and children share one room at the North and West Branches are reflected in the eirculation records. In 1917 we opened our East Branch in a store block. Ten years later it was moved into a building erected by the Town. In 1918, the first full year of the East Branch the circulation was 35,225; the first year in the nevv building it was 100,052 and beginning with 1932 it has maintained a circulation of approximately 145,000. This shows what can be done when the work k is carried on under proper conditions. The North Rvanch war, opened in 1927 and the circulation for the first full year, 1928, was 27,607 books. In 1937 the circulation was 5.3,708, an increase of nearly 100 per cent in nine years. I feel that we have only made a start on the work that could be accomplished in this locality in larger quarters, so I trust that earnest consideration will be given to remodeling this branch so that we may use the whole building. The increase in the appropriation for books, periodicals and bind- ing allowed us to buy more honks, especially smrne for reference, and to catch up on our binding. Unfortunately the price of books and bind- ing has increased during the year, owing to increased labor casts and government regulation of industries supplying materials to these trades, so $1,400 does not go as far as a feir years ago. During the year 4,497 books were added to the library of which 4,425 were puT- chased. 4f these 1,004 were new titles iti the adult department, 459 wv-ere new titles in the children's department and the remainder were duplicates and replacements. During the year 2,1'-30 books were re- bound. There were 1,197 warn books discarded and 583 lost in circula- tion or missing from the shelves. This loss is smaller than last year, and some nlay be returned, but sadly I report that the adults are the worst offenders. I w ondgr how one of these offenders would feel if someone walked off with his hat or removed the lights from his, or her, automobile? The Library co-operated with the Art Committee of the Woman's Club in arranging the second annual exhibit of arts and crafts done by residents of the Town which was held at the Library the week be- REPORT OF LIBRARIA ti )`?1 ginning November 11th. 'there were more exhibitors this year and a larger attendance. In co-operation with the Jnnair High Schools we had Mr. Jahn Cronan come to Watertown twice in. December for stomp hours. The Childx°en's department continues to have the Saturday morning story hours for the younger children. The East Branch Boys' Club and, the two Girls' clubs continue to meet at the East Branch. The Antique Club, the Stamp Cluh and Musa Chapter of the Delphian Saciety have expressed their appreciation of the East Branch as a meeting glace. I have reported the increased cost of books and binding. In addi- tion we have been notified by the library supply hoijses that the cost of cards and other stock, mending materials and general supplies have increased in cost. Although the lighting rates are supposed to have been decreased it is trot reflected in our bills. Other maintenance casts show an upward trend. For the east two years we have been fortunate in having bttt few changes in our personnel. Decently we have lost the heads of two departments. Mrs. Knowles, head of the Children's department, re- signed in September. Miss White,who was in charge of the work with juniors at the East Branch wi3s transferred to the Main Library* to fill the vacancy azid Hiss Mary McNally, Simmons 19u6, was added to the East Branch staff. bliss Gillrmett, who was in charge. of civeula- tion and statistics, resigned in December. Miss Ethelyn Leverich, Simmons 1937, was added to the staff. Both Mrs. Knowles and Nils +Gillmett were very efficient and loyal members of the staff, liked by the public and their co-workers, so while we wish their God-speed their going leaves us with a sense of loss. Adjustments have been made within mir staff wl-deli we hope will prove beneficial. The assistants are co-operating with their usual fine spirit in niaking these Changes. To them and to you, the Trustees, I wish to express my appreciation of the support received. Respectfully submitted, LYDIA W.

Citizevs of Watertown: The following annual report is submitted by the Town Clerk. The growth of Water wn is clearly illustrated by the fact that the recording of vital statistics attained new high figures during the past year. 'vital Statistics Now Typed The work of recording vital statistics involves considerable detail, and to keep pace with the times and the growth of Watertown, the old- fashioned method of recording such statistics by hand has been dis- pensed with and new farms have been prepared whereby the system, is modernized and the records are now uniformly recorded by the use of typewriters, Reclassification of Business Designations The recording and filing of Business Designations, as required by Chapter 110, Section 5 of the General Laws, has been changed so that the records are now typed on a modern card system cross-indexed and filed in fa cabinet which is readily available to the public. Voting List Changed to Book Form In order to develop t1w most accurate method of maintaining Watertown's Voting List, the cumbersome sheet form, with voters listed alphabetically, Nvas replaced by the modern book form of list with. names recorded numerically and by streets. This c'hang+c involved a task of real magnitude and of considerable detail, it also being neces- sary to introduce, a new and more complete card system. Traffic Rules As Town Clerk, acting under the direction of the Board of Select- men, the task of preparing and classifying Traffic Mules and Orders was brought to completion with the approval of the rules by the Select- men on June 4, 1987, and ratification by the Department of Public Works on June 15, 1937. Retirement of Miss Meagher It is with regret that I record, the retirement, because of physical, disability, of Miss Annie G. 11ieaglier, clerk, who officially relinquished her duties ern July 1, 1937, completing over twenty years of faithful service. 226 W ATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Binding told Records A special fund for binding old records was sought this past year, and the .sure of 12t.UD was appropriated by the Annual meeting, This fund permitted the binding of 21 years of original birth returns into permanent, uniform books, greatly enhancing their use for reference purposes, and also from a standpoint of preservation. Additional funds are to be sought to complete this work. Also in regard to the stirring of recONIS, I hope to have the shelves in the Town Clerk's vault rearrarlgod, tlius eliminating a gi-eat deal of present wasted simce. Recommendraiions Annual Listing; and By-laws, The, attention of the Board of Selectmen and cithtens is respect- fully called to thia question of studying the problem of the annual list- ing of all persons twenty years of age and over. This listing is a lrre- liminary function to arriving at an accurate Voting list, and it is my belief that the Town of Watertown has arrived at the time when regular police officers should not be required to do this work in their off time without being coanjwnsated. I feel that regular patrolmen should be relieved of their duties to handle this work properly, and that a system, similar to that in vogue hi Newton be adopted, whereby the malice duties of the regular officers are carried on by Special officers, cr in the case of Newton, by Reserve patrolmen. Maximum efficiency is a serious consideration in the question of the annual listing. The town is sadly; in need of a general revision of its by-laws.

Bath were hospitalized and have fully recovered, with no paralysis. We still have one case in Lakeville from last year. Dog Bites One hundred forty-six cases of dogs biting human beings were. reported and forwarded to far. H. W. dakeman for investigation and restraint. It is very important that when a dog bites a person, the name of the owner and his residence be obtained and reported also. In three cases this year we were unable to locate the owners of biting dogs and were compelled to give anti-rabic vaccine at a cast of $100.25. In one other case the dog waz of suspicious nature and treatment was given as a precaution, casting $33.50. In all these cases tho town was reirnbaursed by the County Treasurer. The law has now been changed and the town is now reimbursed only for clogs that are licensed. Babies Two cases of rabies were discovered in dogs in town the bast year and fortunately no one was bitten; however, six persons were ex- posed and received treatment to prevent any chance of their- being infected, at a cost of $213.00, In April, a, series of clinics was t•ut1 to vaccinate dogs and 477 owners tool; advantage of this opportunity. We should have at least three times this number. Diphtheria One case of diplitherla carrier was found at the Perkins Institute , FORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT 237 in November after a child from out of town had developed a case of the disease. We were very fortunate in notba'ving more uses develop. Our diphtheria immunization clinic was very successful, as W9 of the children immunized were under 5 !Nears of age. We main urge all parents to have their children immunized by their family physician, DIPHTHERIA — AT'ERTOWN, MASS.

From an economic standpoint alono, a patient receiving early treatment and checking of the disease will Nave the community the necessity of providing years of care at a later date. By early diagnosis and isolation of the patient, the clanger of infecting contacts is materially lessened. With this in view, the physicians :ln Waterto%%m have been informed as to the privileges of the Middlesex County Sanatorium in Waltham, where persons may receive physical examination by chest specialists with an X-ray and diagnosis without charge. patients may be referred on a consultation basis to this diag- nostic clinic and all reports are sent directly to the attending physician, who continues to supervise his patient and prescribe whatever therapy may be required. Besides the diagnosis of cases the clinic is of great value in supervising contacts. Tuberculosis Scbool Clinic. The Middlesex County Sanatorium offers to the Town of '4'4'atr town a yearly survey of the ebildien in the seventh, ninth and eleventa grades, in the hope of detecting early cases of tuberculosis in th .i adolescent age group. All the children in the abode mentioned grad(,4 are asked to have their parents sign request blanks if they desire t ? avail themselves of this service. Those whose parents request UL- service are given the 'tuberculin 'hest. This tent is read within fort.,-- eight hours. Any children showing a positive ivaction are there X-rayed., fusing a portable apparatus in the schools. Those childri•ii showing any suspicious evidence are given a physical exarninaticit and finally classified into active cases, observation cases, and negativ, . cases.

These children gained in weight and shoved marked improve- ntent in their physical condition. The pleasant surroundings and supervised guidance had a great deal of influence on these cor3tact cases, and every child seemed very happy with camp life. Typhoid Fever Only one case of typhoid was reported. This was contracted outside of Watertown. One carrier was picked up and reported, which had no connection with the above case. Gonorrhea and Syphilis Thera Nvere reported to the State Department of Health, without names, a total of 49 cases of g'otlorrhea during 1937, 41 being males, and 8 females. Also 33 eases of syphilis, 22 inales and 11 females. Well Baby Clinics These are held oz Tuesday P. M. at the Nest Junivtr Nigh School, and Friday P. M. at the Coolidge School. Ninety-two clinics were held, weather permitting, with an attendance of 849 babies. Mothers are advised on feeding, the babies are weighe(l and measured. Defects are reported to mothers and they are advised to see theft- family physician regarding these and also for diphtheria immunization. Dental Clinics During the year of 1937 Dental Clinics 'were field at the following schools: Coolidge, Francis, Sacred Heart, Parker and Hojmer. These; are held mornings with the work confined to pupils of the first ,gravies. All defective teeth, both deciduous and permanent, are given proper dental attention.. Emergency cases throughout the town receive the, same necessary attention at the clinic. Dental Charts are hung in all the class rooms. whore Health talks are given in each room. Letters are written home Lo parents of children in all kindergarten classes, with dental advice given in regard to visits to other family dentists be- fore starting; out in their school life. 1 am sorry the response in regard to these was poor,due to the still present financial difficulties. Principals, teachers and children co-operated with us in our dental work. The results of the clinic are as follows: Number of Extractions: Number of Fillings: Temporary teeth 124 Temporary teeth 684 Permanent teeth 40 Permanent teeth 351 164 1035 REPORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT 241 Number of Treatments; Total Examinations 555 Temporary teeth 459 Permanent teeth 1.5 474 There should be a great deal moiv work done in our schools than it is possible to accomplish under present conditions.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS To the Cit+zc,is of Watertown: The Board of Park Commissioners submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1937. Although Victory Field and the other Parks were used more frequently this year than in previous years because of a keener interest aroused in the people of Watertown for sports, exercise and recreation, "because of the advantage taken of the law permitting Sunday Sport Activities, because of the formation and operation of the W atertawn Twi-Light League and the Watertown Community Foot- ball League they received the care necessary to maintain them at their high standard. The Deltas were attended to with such skill and in- dustry as to keep therm beauty shots of our Town. At this point we Nvish to express our appreciation to the Superintendent and his men for their work at nighty made necessary by the use of Victory Field for Twi-bight and Flood light Baseball, for keeping the Tennis Court open every weekday night until 9 P. M. and for the flooding of the skating rink. The various athletic teams of Watertown were constant users of Victory Field for practice and competition. We are pleased to state that benches were placed in the Delta nt Watertown Square for the convenience and comfort of the public. We reconimen d that a permanent skating rink be constructed ,at Victory Field and that, Tennis Courts be built at the West End Playground and at Parker Park. Chairman. WILLIAM H. R,EGAN, Secretary. LAWRENCE F. LANE. `48 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF PLAYGROUND COMMISSION December 20, 1937. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: We respectfully submit the annual report of the Playground Com- mission for the year 1937. Careful consideration was given to all applications for appoint- ment to playground positions and after much deliberation, 32 Instruc- tors, Life Guards and Matrons were chosen from more than three hundred applicants. The Playground season opened on Julys 6th under the immediate direction of Superintendent Herbert 0. Berry, with Miss Jean diver as Supervisor of Girl's Work. Activities for the boys consisted of baseball (special instructions. being given the younger boys in the fundamentals of the national game), horse-shoe pitching, track contests and checkers, Inter-play- ground contests served to stimulate interest in all of these sports. For the girls, classes in sewing, needlework, basketry and gather handicraft were well and enthusiastically attended, while those ath- letically inclined enjoyed baseball, bat ball and other spDrts. Sprinklers were installed at several pls.ygromids affording the children shower baths during the unusually hat surnmer of 1937. There were "Freak Days," Doll Carriage Parades, trips to big league ball games, hikes, and other events from time to time at the different playgrounds. Refreshments were served to tole off these glorious days. The formation of hannonica classes at the East and West Play- grounds was an innovation which attracted ana:ny of the bays and a fees girls. Considerable credit is due Mr. Clarence Ash, the instructor, who, in the short space of seven weeks (giving one lesson a week at each playground) taught children who had never played before, or- ganized a Harmonica band, and gave a very cre.ditpa.ble €lenionstration at the exhibition in August. A large attendance at the bathing beach, in spite of very poor facilities, testified to the popularity of swimming and bathing as a recreation. Several hundred youngsters and g2-own,-ups using the limited accommodations daily, under the watchful supervision of five life guards and three matrons. 1f this place is mair bihied by the Tuwn another season, a. new row boat, a new waft and new bath houses will be needed before it can be properly and safely operated. On August 25th, an exhibition of the handiwork of the pupils on REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD 249 the various playgrounds was .held at Victory Field. Great interest in the children's work was manifested by the large number of parents and friends who attended the exhibition throughout the day. The season closed on August 27th. It is worthy of note that the playgrounds were closed only one day during the entire season because of bad weather. We wish to take this opportunity of extending our thanks to Mr. John Udell, local administrator of IV. P. A. recreational activities, for his kindly co-operation with us, and to all Town officials, and employees who, by their assistance, contributed greatly toward raa.king the season very successful. Considerable credit is due Mr. Berry and Miss Oliver and their staff, for their untiring efforts and splendid co-operation. Respectfully* submitted, WtNTHROP H. ]ROOKWELL, Chan-man. LAWRENCE ]7tlNNELLY. REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: for Watertown, Planning Board respectfully submits its report for the year 1937. The most important and effective achievement of the past year was the unanimous adoption of the new Zoning By-law by the Town Meet- ing in March, upon the recommendation of the Planning Board. This received the approval of the Attonrey-General in June. The members of the Board sincerely hope that a sufficient appropriation will be made to enable the Selectmen to print the new Zoning By-law with the Zoning Map attached. In accordance with the provisions of the legislation establishing the Planning Board we held several public hearings on petitions for changes in Zoning as Nlows: The residents of an area adjacent to Waltham appeared at a public hearing and unanimously supported our petition to change the zoning of their vicinity from No. 2—two-family to No, 1—single family district. Most of these people had previously bought or built single fam- ily homes in this district undue tl�e misapprehension that it was a one- family district. This ,amendment to the Toning By law was unanimously 250 WATERTOWN TOWN RE,PORT approved by the Town Meeting in October, and approved by the At- torney-General in November. As a result of the great opposition shown at a public heaping on a petition for a change in zoning at the corner of Mount Auburn and Winthrop Streets from No. 8 — apartment to No. 4 — business dis- trict, the Planning Board was prepared to submit a report reconn- mending "no change" when the motion to indefinitely postpone. was made and cai-Titd by the Town Meeting; It was the consensus of this Board that re-districting this small lot of land into "business" would in no way promote the health, safety, convenience or gene"al welfaro of the inhabitants. It is a growing practice for many baa.nko, insurance companies and other concerns to refuse mortgage loans on residential property, not only in towns entirely un-zoned, but also in towns v:htr•e sl'ot- zoning for business is allowed in residential districts. The deprecia,- ton of residential properties in areas where such zoning changes are allowed is so great that investors have even refusal to renew mortgages on the property. This is, of course, a very strong argument for the preservation of our zoning structui°e, and one that must appeal to every citizeia in the Town. The Board is very pleased that a Committee has beeat appointed by the Moderator to study and revise the Building Lavvs which are not adequate or comprehensive enough for tlae needs of Watertown. Elias A. Perkins, a. very valuable member of our Board, was appointed by the Moderator to serve on this Committee. The Planning Hoard acknowledges with deep appreciation the heartiest co-operation of Mr. Otis D, Allen, 'Town Engineer, his stag, and the other Town Departments. Respectfully submitted, JOHN kI.

PERKINS REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE 2.51 REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE APPROPRIATIONS To the Annual Town Meeting, 1937 Noonday Evening, March 22, 7:30 P. M. FINANCE COMMITTEE Thomas E. Doyle Matthew W. J. Carley Andrew T. Johnson Felix A. Leonard Sterling R. Carrington Carl W. Johnson Arthur B. Jones Peter M. Feinberg John J. McLauthlin Daniel J. Niorphy 4rtin Papazian Martin J. Reid. Wilfred J. Paquet Domenico B. Raimondo Nazz€rrena Toscano Leland Bixby Robert T. Sanford Edgard C. Webster Frank S. Broadhurst Jahn A. Colbert Graver C. Codie Report of Finance Committee To the Citizens of Watertown: Dur recommendations in this report represent the amounts that we believe will be required to permit the safe, efficient, and proper operation of the vital and essential public functions in the Town of Watertown during 1937. The awkward, top-hea vy, cumbersome, and extravagant methods that we use to govern ourselves in Watertown are clearly emphasized each year in the study of the annual budget. Two Hundred and thirty items appear in the budget, and they are requested by 39 elected and 53 appointed Town Officials who operate 37 different Town Departments,, each of which is vitually interested in their osna small hart and rather neglectful of you and the remaining; departments. :'ninety-two officials of the Town have asked this Com- mittee to recommend that you appropriate an extra quarter of a million dollars for tHem to spend. This would raise your tax rate :55.1111 per thousand, and we do not believe that you are prepared to do this. We believe that orderly and well regulated procedeure is required for the prober accomplishment of good public service.. Some budget increases are requested to co er inefficiency, poor business judgment, errors in operation, furtherance of whims and hobbies, and in a fees cases, an apparent disregard for the public welfare. Other budget increases are justified by changing times and increasing demands for services and materials. We have attempted to be fair with all De. partments and to balance up the expenditures in a manner that will best serve the entire Town. 252 WATERT(3WN TO'4V N RE,PORT Watertown is still receiving assistance from the Federal Govern- ment in the matter of relief, but its continuance at the present rate is uncertain. A sizeable appropriation for W. P. A. materials may Ire expected later in the year, and we will he forced to pay about $33,000. this year for a 'bathing beach. Because of these pending items, we strongly urge caution by the Town Meeting Members in acting on the items in the budget. Several requests for new motor equipment have been made and we strongly recommend that in the absence of an efficient Purchasing Department, that a Committee of five be appointed by the Moderator to purchase all new motor equipment this year, and thus eliminate the slowness and inefficiency of previous purchases, and provide such economies as judicious buying can effect. Several requests have been made for :salary increases by Depart- ment Heads for the Clerks in their various Departments. We believe Ciat some of them are justified, but do not recommend them until a policy is adopted that will permit justice to prevail. No consideration has been given to minim--am or maximum limits, length of service, type of work, or responsibility. A Committee should be appointed to study this matter and report at the May meeting of tliia year, in order that adjustments may be made. Substantial increases have been requested by some of the larger Departments and this Committee has very carefully studied these requests. We havee recommended many of thern believing them justi- fied. We have recommended an increase in the School Department budget despite the fact that we have no increase in pupils and one less school building. This increase is caused by annual increments to school employees and is a definite commitment. This Committee and the Tax-Payers still await the removal of non-essential subjects from the curriculum, as recommended in the report of the. Superintendent of Schools in his 1934 report.. It is our belief that adjustments can be made inside the recommended budget of the Schools, without detriment to the system, and with no increased burden upon the Tait-Payer. As Chairman of the Committee, may I thank the Officials and Citizens of the Town for their co-operation, and express my thanks to the members of the Finance Committee for the honor of serving with them, and for their loyal and devoted service to their Fellow Citizens. Respectfully, 3OHN A. COLBERT, Chairman. Voted: That the report of the Chairman of the Finance Committee be adopted as the Report of the Committee. MATTHEW W. I CARLEY, Secretary.
