The details of expenditures are shown comprehensively in the re- ports of the Auditor and Treasurer. The operation of necessary and essential services are indicated by the reports of the various Department heads who add testimony of the loyalty and co-operation of our municipal employees. This year's administration is outstanding for the following reasons, which will be dealt with more fully under the respective headings of these departments: 1. The economy and efficiency of administration preventing a sub- stantial increase in our taxes. 2. The financial condition of Watertown. 3. The reorganization of the Welfare Department. 4. The reorganization of the Police Department. 5. Civil Service. 6. The efficiency with which the problems created as a result of the hurricane were handled. Financial Condition The financial condition of the Town for the year ending December 31, 1938 is excellent. The assessed valuation of the property in the Town of Watertown for 1938 was $51,528,370. Our Excess and Defi- ciency fund amounts to nearly $300,000., and we have not found it necessary to borrow any money from the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts on tax titles. Because of our good financial condition, we were able to borrow $900,000. at a cost of less than $1,500., which represents the lowest interest rate ever paid in the history of the Town for the borrowing of money. There is no city or town in the entire Common- wealth with a finer credit rating than the Town of Watertown. Our borrowing capacity is now over $1,200,000. Our Bonded debt is now $1,102,000. Welfare Agencies In order to increase the efficiency of the Welfare Department, the Selectmen divided it into three devisions—Outside Aid, Aid to Depend- ent Children and the Bureau of Old Age Pensions. The quota of W.P.A. employees allowed the Town of Watertown in 1937 was about 400 which meant an annual W.P.A pay roll of $446,208. At the end of the fiscal year in 1937 we were rapidly going into a business recession which increased tremendously the number of applicants for welfare assistance. We had an increase in requests for aid in the Welfare Department from approximately 400 families. This SELECTMEN'S REPORT 13 would have meant an increase of the then welfare burden from 806 cases in 1937 to 1,256 cases at the beginning of the fiscal year in 1938. The average cost per year per family in the Welfare Department is about $200., or $51. per person per year, which would have resulted in an increase of expenditure in the Welfare Department of $90,000., as- suming that we were not forced to undertake the support of other families. Having reached our quota of W.P.A. employees, we were faced with the alternative of securing employment for more persons on the W.P.A., or an increase in the welfare burden, which would necessarily reflect itself in a higher tax rate. Being confronted with this problem, we were successful in obtaining W.P.A. employment for 463 persons in addition to our quota, bringing the total number of W.P.A. em- ployees to 891 and increasing our W.P.A. pay roll to $581,152. In addi- tion to this, we were able to secure commodities without charge amount- ing to $86,000. We purchased 5,000 pounds of butter and 154,922 quarts of milk at a total cost of only $3,070., which, added to our increased W.P.A. pay roll, brought the total in assistance over and above our quota of $221,500. If we had not been successful in placing the appli- cants who had applied for welfare assistance on the W.P.A. we would have had an increase in our tax rate as a result of this one item of approximately $4.25 per $1,000. for the year 1939, without giving con- sideration to other matters which would affect our tax rate. The recession became so acute that the case burden in the Welfare Department was increased from 806 to 992 which represented an in- crease in persons added from 3,165 in 1937 to 3,856 in 1938, or an Increase of 691 individuals. Notwithstanding the increase in the num- ber of persons aided and the increased amount of work necessary to handle these cases, the per capita cost per year decreased from $51.09 to $50.68. In 1937, we had 56 aid-to-dependent-children cases by reason whereof 212 people were aided at a total cost of $46,156.56, which rep- resented a cost of $824.22 per case per year, or $217.71 per person per year. In 1938 there were 66 cases at a total cost of $47,780.15, or $723.94 per case, or 278 persons at $171.51 per person per year. Not- withstanding an increase in the number of dependent children, there was a decrease per person per year from $217.71 to $171.51. In the Bureau of Old Age Pensions in the year 1937 there were 272 cases at a cost of $70,803.85 or $248.68 per person. In 1938, there were 397 cases at a cost of $90,973.86. Notwithstanding the increased ex- penditure in this department, there is a decrease in expenditure per person per year from $248.68 to $229.15. Police Department As indicated by the report of the Chief of Police, there has been a substantial decrease of crime'in Watertown, which is not a condition 14 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT prevailing in other cities and towns. A survey of the Police Depart- ment report indicates that there was a decided decrease in all types of crime and particularly in the more serious crimes. Accidents have been reduced to a minimum. This condition has been brought about by a reorganization of the Police Department. III order to effect the reorganization necessary, the practice of appointing special police officers was abolished and with the approval of the Town Meeting a reserve police force of twelve men was created. These men, since the creation of the reserve police force, have been taking instructions in the use of fire arms, law, protection of life and property and all other matters incidental to the efficient operation of the Police Department. Within two months it is expected that these men will have a complete training and knowledge of police work, which is a distinct improvement over the old system of special police, who were only called upon to work at intervals and who were never given any training in police work. Two new positions of Lieutenant of Police were created so that we now have a Lieutenant of Police in charge of each bureau within the Department, and the necessary superior officers for the proper func- tioning of the Department. Lieutenant Joseph J. Reilly was placed in charge of the newly created Bureau of Traffic, which has resulted in a substantial decrease in automobile accidents and violations. Lieu- tenant James M. Igo was placed in charge of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Lieutenant Edward A. Murray was placed in charge of the Police Department from 6.00 P.M. to 8.00 A.M. Sergeant John J. Igo was placed in charge of the Police Department from 1:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. under Lieutenant Murray. Lieutenant Burke is acting as an assistant to the Chief in the general supervision of the Department. Sergeants Andrew J. Donnelly, Thomas W. Devaney, Joseph P. Stead and Edmund H. Norton supervise the work of the officers in the per- formance of their street duties. We have a permanent force of thirty-six patrolmen which, with our twelve trained reserve officers, brings our total police force, exclu- sive of officials, to forty-eight men. We have had in the past a janitor, wagon man and clerk at the desk in the station days, and a man filling a similar position nights from 6.00 P.M. to 1.00 A.M. We did not, however, have a man filling this position from 1.00 A.M. to 8.00 A.M., which, therefore necessitated calling'in of a patrolman to act as clerk, janitor and wagon man on the last half, reducing the number of patrolmen for street duty below that necessary for the proper protection of our inhabitants. Therefore, it was deemed advisable to appoint a man to fill the position of clerk, janitor and wagon man for the last half, which has been done. The report of the Chief is gratifying indeed, and he is to be com- mended for the fine service rendered to; the people by his Department. SELECTMEN'S REPORT 15 It is most pleasing to note that organized crime has been short lived in Watertown. Civil Service Prior to the acceptance of Civil Service by the Town it was a practice, following the change of each administration in the dispensing of political patronage, to discharge employees and replace them with others. This practice has necessarily been abolished by the acceptance of Civil Service, resulting, therefore, in a greater degree of efficiency on the part of the employees and a sense of security, which can have none other than a beneficial effect in the administration -of our affairs. Hurricane The violent tropical hurricane of September 21, 1938 called the "Disaster of the Century" visited Watertown in the form of a terrific windstorm and caused tremendous damage to our trees, which fell and blocked many of our streets. Electric wires became a tangled mess, disrupting light service completely. Telephones were put out of order everywhere. Your Selectmen declared a State of Emergency at 6.00 P. M. The Police, Fire, and Highway and Engineering Departments went into action immediately and performed in a most creditable man- ner night and day until the situation was brought under control. At 2.30 A. M. September 22nd the 'State Administrator of the W.P.A., Col. John J. McDonough, gave official sanction for an emergency Hurricane project that permitted the use of all W.P.A. workers. Axes, saws, lan- terns, and other necessities were purchased before daylight so that the W.P.A. workers could clear our streets. These W.P.A. workers toiled at top speed and won high praise from our citizens for the splendid spirit of co-operation with our Municipal Departments. The State Cfficials have commented most favorably on the way our town took care of the damage resultant from the storm. Not only did the W.P.A. serve well during the hurricane, but gave magnificent service to the Town. Fire Department As indicated by the report of the Chief of the Fire Department, the operation of that Department has been deeply gratifying when all conditions are taken into consideration. The detailed report of the Chief of the Department is to be found elsewhere in this report. The Selectmen stress the importance not only of the recommenda- tions of the Chief that a survey be made of all buildings in the Town for the purpose of installing automatic sprinklers, which in the opinion of the Chief, would result in a decrease in the cost of insurance rates, and that the recommendations of the National Board of Fire Under- writers as of 1937 be followed. 16 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT The National Board of Fire Underwriters among other things rec- ommends: 1. That an assistant chief be appointed and sufficient company officers be provided so that there will be one on duty with each shift of eb ch company. 2. That the membership will be increased so there will be present at all times, including the vacation season, six men days and eight at night in Engine Company #1 and #2; five men days and seven men at night in Ladder Company #1 and 1t2, four men days and six men at night in Engine Company #3. And said in conclusion: "The fire department is commanded by an experienced chief but an insufficient company of officers are provided and there is no assist- ant chief. The number of engine companies is also insufficient, but this deficiency is offset, to some extent, by the mutual and powerful outside aid that is quickly available, which also partly overcomes the deficiency in manpower. The mutual aid arrangements with adjoining cities could well be extended and improved to their mutual advantage. "Provisions for appointment and promotion are mainly good; pen- sion and retirement provisions are good, except for lack of a compulsory age limit for retirement. "Some of the apparatus is old and in only fair condition, especially Engine 3 which is also of small capacity and should be replaced. The hose supply is ample and well cared for, although there is no three- inch hose. Minor equipment is fairly uniform but somewhat incom- plete; heavy and special stream appliances are mainly adequate. "Drills are too infrequent and are not uniform or complete. Re- sponse to alarms is generally well arranged. Building inspections are showing good results. Records are incomplete." The Chief, officers and men are to be commended, however, for their splendid efforts in behalf of the people, and the Selectmen are especially appreciative of the many hours the men have given of their own time when needed. From a preliminary investigation made by the Selectmen, it is ap- parent that if the recommendations of the National Board of Fire Un- derwriters are followed even partially, we can secure for the property owners a substantial decrease in fire insurance premiums, which will exceed many times the cost of reorganizing the Department. SELECTMEN'S REPORT 17 Highway Department At the request of the abutters Partridge Street, Andrew Street, Dunton Road, Bailey Avenue and Merrifield Avenue were constructed under the Betterment Act. Prior to construction surface drains and the necessary catch basins were installed. The streets were constructed of gravel with a bituminous concrete surface. There were five and one-tenth miles of streets resurfaced, 19,118 feet of which was done by the Highway Department and the balance done by the W.P.A. under the supervision of the Highway Department. There were thirteen and one-half miles of sidewalk constructed. This work was done largely by the W.P.A. under the supervision and with the necessary co-operation of the Highway Department. There were also 12,417 feet of sewers and drains laid. . Mount Auburn Street was rebuilt from Dexter Avenue to the Cam- bridge line, thereby completing the rebuilding of this street. This work was done under Chapter 90 of the General Laws of the Common- wealth. Building Department Elias A. Perkins, who had been assistant to our former Building Inspector, William H. Wilson, more than three years, was appointed Building Inspector. Mr. Perkins is also a member of a Special Com- mittee for the Revision of the Town's Building Laws, which Committee is expected to recommend a new set of regulations that will protect the interests of both Town and taxpayer alike. A W.P.A. project started in Building Inspector's office will put this Department in a better position to handle the business of the Town within its juris- diction. In closing it is the desire of the Board to take this opportunity to express to all of the Town employees its sincere gratitude and deep appreciation for the faithful service and splendid co-operation rendered by them during the past year.

March 21, 1938. At the Town Meeting held April 10, 1935 it was voted that a com- mittee of seven be appointed by the Moderator to study the needs and requirements of a new school building to replace the present old Phillips School building and the sum of $1000.00 was appropriated for the pur- pose of preparing plans and sketches. Following persons were appointed to serve on this committee: Eric L. Johnson, Eleanor Krancer, Thomas M. Dowell, Charles F. J. Har- rington, Carl G. A. Johnson, Harold B. Blazo, Henry W. Gibson. The committee organized with Eric L. Johnson, Chairman and T. M. Dowell, Secretary. This committee made a thorough study of the problem and sub- mitted a report at the Town Meeting held September 16, 1935. This report not only covered the replacement of the Phillips School but was comprehensive enough to enable the Town Meeting Members to visualize the appearance of a complete plant to replace both the Phillips and Francis School buildings. The building to replace the Phillips School was designed to form the first unit of a structure that might in the future include the Francis School and an auditorium. At the Town Meeting held September 16, 1935 it was voted that for the purpose of constructing a 12-room elementary school building, to replace the old Phillips School, in co-operation with the Federal Govern- ment, there be raised and appropriated the sum of $110,000 and that this money be expended under the direction of the existing Phillips School Committee. A grant of $66,834 was obtained from the Federal Government. The Committee engaged Frank Irving Cooper Corp. of Boston as architects, one of the members of this concern being architect John W. McCoubrey of Standish Road, Watertown, who gave his constant per- sonal attention to the preparation of the plans and specifications and supervision of the construction. After final plans and specifications had been decided on bids were advertised for and received. After due consideration the contract for the construction of the building was awarded M. S. Kelleher Co. of Boston. The building erected is of first class construction—the only school building of that type in Watertown—with brick and stone exterior and concrete floors. The general interior trim is of metal. The building is so designed that a new unit may be added. There are twelve standard classrooms and a library classroom. Each room seats forty pupils and is equipped with an electric clock, loud speaker and intercommunicating telephone. Among the other rooms are a principal's office, a health unit equipped for medical and dental examinations and first aid treatments, and teachers' rooms. REPORT OF TOWN MEETINGS 45 The mechanical plant not only cares for heating the new building but also provides steam for heating the Francis School. One feature of the building is the elimination of the old fashioned basement. The ground floor is almost entirely above grade, with full height windows, providing a play room in which the pupils may have their exercise or recreation regardless of outdoor weather conditions. The total cost of the building, fully equipped will be $175,257.65. The Town has appropriated $111,000.00 and the grant obtained from the Federal Government was $66,834.00 making a total of $177,834.00. The balance $2,576.35, the committee is turning over to the Town Treas- urer to be used to reduce the Town's debt on this school. The net cost to the Town for this fine building is $108,423.65. The Committee wish to thank last year's Board of Selectmen for their co-operation in carrying out the grading, etc., around the school. Respectfully submitted, S/ ERIC L. JOHNSON Eric L.

WINIFRED MEHANN September 1916 — June 1938 HELEN F. STOREY September 1930 — November 1938 130 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT SCHOOL DEPARTMENT I herewith respectfully submit the report of the Chairman of the School Committee for the year 1938. The reports of the Superintendent, principals and directors which follow include detailed accounts of their respective departments. Therefore, I shall confine myself to a review of the important admin- istrative problems upon which the School Committee took action dur- ing the past year. For several years a study has been made relative to the establish- ment of a.course A_guidance suitable for the needs .of.the pupils of our town. We were very fortunate to have in our system Mr. Edward Colbert of the West Junior High School Faculty, who was awarded a Master's Degree at Boston University in 1935 for outstanding work in the field of educational and vocational guidance, and who was highly recommended for guidance positions to several Superintendents by Dean Davis of Boston University. In June the Committee established the Department of Guidance and Educational Measurement, and appointed Mr. Colbert the director. The Physical Educational Department has undergone many changes in the past years. Several members of the High School faculty had been assigned to coaching positions from time to time and an unsatis- factory situation existed. On several occasions different members of the Committee expressed the opinion that the solution to the problem would be the appointment of a Director who had had no previous con- nection with the department. In May, Mr. Daniel E. Sullivan, a local man, who for twenty-five years had directed the athletic destinies of Dean Academy with outstanding success, was appointed Director of the Department of Physical Education. In November, Mr. Price who has been our Superintendent for the past thirty years, made known to the Committee his intention of apply- ing to the Retirement Board for a pension, and on November 25th he submitted a notice of his retirement to take effect December 31, 1938, which was accepted by the School Committee. Francis A. Kelly was appointed by the Committee to the position of Superintendent to take effect January 1st, 1939. Mr. Kelly, who has served eleven years on the Committee is well known locally, and his continued successes as a teacher, submaster and principal in the Bos- ton School system has marked him as an outstanding teacher and edu- cational executive. Since 1930 he has been recorded by the Board of Superintendents of Boston with a mark of Al as a teacher which is the highest mark given, and is classified as "eminently superior". These marks were given by Assistant Superintendents William Snow, Michael Downey, John Brodhead and Arthur L. Gould the present Superin- tendent of Boston Public Schools, who said of Mr. Kelly on his retire- ment from the Boston service: "He is an excellent teacher. He knows REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 131 how to teach, and he shall be a good superintendent because he will know good teaching when he sees it." Mr. Kelly's place on the Committee was filled by the appointment of Mr. Roscoe Daughters who has served a three year term previously. The Committee has made every effort to expend the money appro- priated for school purposes in an economical and businesslike manner. I wish to express my thanks to the members of the Committee, the School Faculty and other employees, and also to the other boards and Departments of the Town for their cooperation and interest in the wel- fare of the children of Watertown. PATRICK A. MENTON, Chairman REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT To the School Committee: Ladies and Gentlemen: I herewith submit for your consideration this annual report of the conditions and work in the public schools. Art: At the beginning of the school year Miss Florence Russell was granted a leave of absence for one year. After due consideration the school committee decided to assign the work of the Elementary schools to Miss Helen M. Farley who had served as an assistant super- visor under Miss Russell. The work in the Junior and Senior High Schools is being carried on by the art teachers in their respective schools. Guidance: For a number of years the Junior and Senior High Schools have been carrying a program of guidance. Guidance is a teaching process. It aims to adjust the individual to the experiences of life particularly those having to do with educational activities. This year the School Committee appointed Mr. Edward Colbert a director of Measurement and Guidance in the schools from the Kindergarten through the Senior High School. Under his direction work is being carried on in the 7th, 8th and 12th grades. One or more teachers have been selected to carry on this work. The Nursery School: We are still carrying on two units of the Nursery School, one at the Coolidge and one at the Parker. The sal- aries of the persons connected with the nursery schools is being paid with Federal money. These persons have to be approved by the local superintendent, the Department of Education, and the director in charge of this branch of the W.P.A. program. During the year we have had the following resignations or with- drawals and the appointments as listed have been made: 132 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Resignations and Withdrawals Edna Tierney Senior High School Vaughan Ketchum East Junior High School Susan Lane West Junior High School Marguerite Mehann Coolidge School `Elizabeth Sheridan Coolidge School Vera McElroy Hosmer School Ida Ricker Hosmer School Anna Toscano Hosmer School Dorothy Gibbs James Russell Lowell School Appointments Edward B. Colbert, Director of Measurement & Guidance School Department Office Thomas O'Brien, Submaster Senior High School Bernard Biller Senior High School Raymond Ford Senior High School Helen Lordan Senior High School Daniel Sullivan, Director of Physical Education Senior High School Esther Sullivan Senior High School Rita Tierney Senior High School John Kelley, Submaster East Junior High School Patrick Ford East Junior High School John Harris East Junior High School Robert Gleason West Junior High School Rosemary Hughes Coolidge School Margaret Gearin, Principal's Assistant Hosmer School Helen F. Grogan Hosmer School Muriel Larkin Hosmer School Eileen McNally Hosmer School Mary Milmore Hosmer School Alice Ward Hosmer School Maude Newell Parker School Dorothy McKeon James Russell Lowell School Admission of Pupils to the Kindergarten Each year there seems to be a growing demand to have the chil- dren admitted to the Kindergarten at an earlier age. The following regulation has been adopted by the School Committee:—Children who are five years of age before the day of the opening of the school of each year will be admitted to the Kindergarten during the first two weeks of the fall term, after that, at the discretion of the superintendent. If room permits, children may be admitted in order of their ages, but no child shall be admitted under 4% years of age. Pupils qualified in all REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 133 respects to join classes in any grade or school, may be admitted at any time by the principal of the building. During the fiscal year Miss Ida Ricker, principal's assistant at the Hosmer School, appointed September, 1899 and Mrs. Elizabeth Sheri- dan, of the Coolidge School, appointed September, 1926, retired. Both had done faithful and efficient work in our school system. There are many phases of school work that should 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 me a report of their work. I am therefore including a portion of their reports as a part of my annual report. Respectfully submitted, WILFRED H. PRICE, Superintendent. REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL . Herbert H. Archibald Our school year opened in September with an enrollment of 1352 divided as follows: Boys Girls Total Seniors 169 211 380 Middlers 223 209 432 Juniors 262 250 512 Post-Graduates 12 16 28 Enrollment 9-14-38 666 686 1352 This total increased during the month so that our maximum enrollment went to 1385, probably an all-time high for school membership in the Senior High School at Watertown. Noticeable increases in the post- graduate group helped to account for this large attendance. Also, the following observation has been made, namely, our entering class in the tenth year is remaining very much a constant with larger classes found in the Middler and Junior years due to students remaining in the school rather than dropping out for employment. Faculty changes for the present school year are as follows: A resig- nation was received from Miss Edna Tierney who, after serving the Town in the teaching of Commercial subjects for seven years, retired to be married. Miss Esther Sullivan was elected to take her place. Addi- tional teachers to the Faculty are Mr. Bernard Neal Biller, English Department; Mr. Raymond Ford, Mathematics and Science Depart- ment; Miss Helen Lordan, Commercial Department; Mr. T. Donald 134 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Robinson, Social Studies Department. Other changes affecting the Senior High School Faculty were occasioned by the transfer of Mr. Harold Kenney to the East Junior High School and Mr. Edwin H. Ward to the West Junior High School. Mr. Daniel E. Sullivan was appointed to the position of Director of Physical Education. Mr. Thomas O'Brien was promoted to the position of Sub-Master. Visual instruction, under the direction of Mr. Irving Keene, is pro- gressing in a very helpful manner, all Departments having the oppor- tunity of supplementing their instruction by these visual aids,—moving pictures, slides, and charts. Many very good films have been rented and others supplied in the school through different industrial agencies. This work helps to make the instruction very practical to our students, and they are feeling a closer tie-up between what they are studying and everyday life. A special report by Mr. Daniel E. Sullivan gives in detail the work which he is conducting in the Physical Education Department. The expansion of activity in this field with an increasing number of pupils who are taking part in the Intramural Program is very gratifying and will be a fine contribution to our program of health education. The graduation exercises were, for the second time, held on our terraced lawn in the rear of the building. The school was fortunate indeed in having Governor Charles Hurley as our graduation speaker. The program, splendidly given, was enjoyed by approximately 3000 people in what we all regarded as an ideal setting. Three hundred fifty- three pupils received their diplomas awarded by Mr. Patrick A. Menton, Chairman of our School Committee. One outstanding need, in the Senior High School, is the reorganiza- tion of our General Course. It has been believed for a long time now in educational circles that a general academic curriculum, with the tradi- tional offerings of languages, mathematics, and other academic subjects, is too far removed from the workaday world and life into which a large number, yea, the vast majority, of our boys and girls find themselves after High School. Many schools now have adopted what is known as a Social Arts or Civic Preparatory curriculum, taking the place of what was known as the General Course. This new Course aims to fit the boy or girl for more useful and beneficial participation in the various occu- pations chosen for days beyond High School. In fact, its chief aim is to make of our High School graduates, good, law-abiding, self-respecting and upright citizens. Our academic set-up has been tried and found wanting in the last twenty-five years; it has not been closely enough fitted to the actual needs of our students. I hope that the Committee will inspect the proposed Civic Preparatory curriculum which was offered last year, as a result of a thorough-going study on the part of our Senior High School Faculty Council, adopt it in some form, and put it into use for the next school year. REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 135 I wish to thank Mr. Price, and the School Board, for all the consid- eration and help given our organization, and hope that the present school year will progress as satisfactorily as has the one just completed. The school appreciates the continued support which Mr. Price and the Committee have given. REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MEASUREMENT AND GUIDANCE Edward B. Colbert, Director Guidance is based upon the fact that human beings need assistance. The rapid growth of secondary school enrollment, the change in the character of the school population, the amazing increase in the com- plexity of industrial and economic life, the changes in ways of living and ways of making a living, the expansion of educational offerings beyond the elementary school all emphasize the need for special guidance of youth who are to make their way in this complex world. Guidance is an organized service designed to give systematic aid to the individual that will help him make wise choices, and intelligent adjustments to the many types of problems and crises he will meet. It should help the individual to know himself as an individual and as a member of society; to assist him in developing a normal, well integrated personality; to aid him in the formation of good character and citizen- ship qualities. It should help the individual to know about the offering of our schools and also of colleges and special training schools; to know about occupations and professions so that he may prepare well and choose wisely. It should provide the connecting link between the school and the outside world and assist where possible in vocational placement and adjustment. To achieve such goals involves a better understanding among the school, the home, and the community; a closer articulation and coordi- nation of the work of the different schools of our system; the accumula- tion of reliable and objective data about the individual, which should be passed on to the next school; a system of accurate cumulative records; and an effective system of counseling and group instruction in guidance problems. Measurement, involving the use of standardized tests of various types, is an integral part of a guidance program. Standardized tests are de- vices for measuring ability or achievement in a given field. The use of such tests, selected carefully on the basis of their high reliability and validity and constructed by impartial authorities, are advantageous, in supplementing subjective teacher opinion with objective factual data. They assist the teacher in getting an accurate characterization of the individual and in providing ways for improving the instructional service of the schools. The mental ability of the individual, his achievement in 136 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT school subjects, his aptitude for special types of work, his interests and personality are all important factors in rendering guidance counsel to the individual. A well planned testing program will assist in analyzing individual and group deficiencies and provide remedial measures for improvement. At the same time a program of this kind affords an appraisal of the quality of the instructional service and the success of our schools. In our junior high schools regular guidance classes are now provided in the weekly schedule of the seventh and eighth grade. Considerable time has been spent in adjusting pupils to their new school, in explain- ing the purpose and function of the Junior High School, and in discuss- ing ways of developing better study and work habits. The program is aimed to produce such desirable appreciations as the value of education, the purpose of the various subjects of the curriculum, the significance of the elective offering of the upper grades, the necessity for planning your future, and a study of the world of work. The individual is encouraged in making self-appraisals of his aptitudes, interests and needs, in promoting his responsibilities as an individual and as a mem- ber of a group toward the home, the school and the community, and in realizing the necessity of developing a well integrated personality. Cumulative personnel records are kept of each individual and limited provisions are made of personal counseling. In the Senior High School the program for this year is centered largely around the Senior Class. The students are divided into groups according to a common interest—the curriculum. Provisions are made for regular group and individual conferences, for accumulating and presenting occupational and educational information, and for keeping cumulative records. This work will later be developed to include the other grades of the school and also many of the other phases of guid- ance. Supplementing the guidance work of our secondary schools is .the measurement program designed to include all schools of the system. This year our attention has been concentrated principally on the ele- mentary schools. Thus far mental aptitude tests have been administered to all pupils of grades one through six and achievement tests of subject matter to grade seven. In as much as no one test or no group of tests given at one grade level can give a complete record of an individual's abilities or achievements, comparable objective tests must be given on many grade levels throughout the pupil's educational experience in our schools. The results of these tests will be placed on a test record card and will provide a continuing record of growth, change and relative achievement of the individual. During the coming year our efforts will be devoted to expanding the program of measurement and guidance service to a larger percentage of our school population. REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 137 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Daniel E. Sullivan, Director The duties of Director of the Department of Physical Education were taken over by me last September. It is generally conceded"in educa- tional circles that health is the first cardinal principle in education. This being true, a great deal more attention should be given to the individual so that he may leave any educational institution physically efficient. Habits and attitudes which have been formed throughout the adolescent age are those which will be carried through future life. Every child in our system receives a physical examination from the school physician. From these examinations we group the students on a mass activity basis so that all may be given equal consideration. It is just as essential that the child who has good physical health keep well and not allow his training to go neglected, as it is that the child who is not blessed with good health receive special consideration so that he may reach the maximum efficiency which is rightly his. The most important objectives in Physical Education are to create and maintain good posture, develop strength, endurance, will power, initia- tive, courage, sportsmanship and fair play. Every boy and girl needs proper supervision and equipment. They need the leadership of a mature mind to direct their activity into chan- nels that will help them build a personality and character that can successfully meet the challenge of the day. They need guidance in their physical development from the kindergarten through high school. The program in the elementary schools under the very excellent supervision of Miss Sally Biggane, is well planned to meet the needs of every boy and girl. The games, folk dancing, skills, and posture exer- cises are graded according to the age and ability of the child with very satisfactory results. Each classroom teacher has a course of study to follow, based on the State course with additional material furnished by the Supervisor. Games and sports are taught not only for amusement, but also for train- ing in emotional control and for character building. Skills are taught which can be used for enjoyment later in life. The girls in the Senior High are carrying on a splendid program of intramural sports. The boys and girls in the Junior High Schools take their exercise out of doors, weather permitting. My motto "Sports for All" is being carried out in the Junior Highs as well as in the Senior High. A boy should not be neglected because he cannot make the varsity team, therefore I have a program of intra- mural sports, which will be carried on throughout the year. The 7th, 8th, and 9th grades each had their own teams in 6occer this year and over 250 boys took part in this afternoon program in the Junior High Schools. 138 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Football was also started this year for the first time in the 9th grades in the Junior High Schools. 180 boys reported for opening prac- tice, but the equipment being limited, 60 boys were selected, 30 from each school. Practice was held twice a week for six weeks. John Mantenuto assisted me in this work. One hundred and ten boys reported for football last fall from the High School. The varsity, second and third teams played a schedule of games with other schools. The equipment purchased being of the best, the boys escaped injuries. Raymond Ford, who assisted me in coaching football worked hard and faithfully throughout the season. Forty-nine boys reported to Coach John Craig for soccer, 24 boys reported to Coach Robert Gleason for track and about •70 other boys were engaged in touch football, baseball, soft ball and tennis, a total of over 250 boys busy with fall exercise. At the opening of the winter program in December, 56 boys reported for basketball, 48 for hockey, 32 for track and 42 for swimming, a new sport in the High School this year. Each class in the Senior High has one afternoon a week devoted to an intramural program of sports such as basketball, wrestling and box- ing. I would like to say that there is a very definite need for a municipal hockey rink and also more tennis courts. I want to take this opportunity to thank all who assisted me this year, for their splendid cooperation. REPORT OF THE SCHOOL CAFETERIAS Marion P. Keep, Supervisor The Watertown School Department Cafeterias are hi operation in the Senior High School, the East Junior High School and the West Junior High School with a total enrollment of 3031 students and 123 faculty. Better than seventy-five percent of this number are being served a noon-day lunch by the cafeterias. The present system, under the direction of a Home Economics trained supervisor, is a simple yet effective one. Each cafeteria is operated as a separate, self-supporting unit, the three comprising the whole Cafeteria Department, which is carried on in a business like, sci- entific way. Detailed records of all purchases, sales, overhead costs and maintenance are accurately kept and accounts are audited each year like any well organized business. Some of the most expensive original equipment which has been in operation for ten or twelve years, such as dishwasher, baking ovens, and refrigerator, now need expensive repairs or replacements. All equipment must be maintained, improved, replaced or added to from REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 139 the Cafeteria Department funds. In addition to the costs of food sup- plies, all expenses such as wages of workers, care and cleaning of the cafeterias are paid by the Cafeteria Department. This entails the necessity of building up a depreciation fund. Through careful planning and wise buying, the Supervisor has been able to meet all cafeteria expenses to date without increasing prices to the students or changing standards of quality or servings. Home- cooked, wholesome, nourishing food, prepared from the highest quality ingredients under sanitary conditions is attractively served the students. The Supervisor makes out the menus, which are changed daily. They offer well balanced and attractive combinations. The daily hot dish which includes meat or fish, potato, gravy, vegetable and one slice of graham bread and butter sells for ten cents. A bowl of soup (made daily with fresh vegetables and meat stock in the cafeteria kitchen) with crackers, may be bought for five cents. Sandwiches and desserts also sell for only five cents. The Cafeteria Supervisor keeps in intimate touch with the three cafeterias, visiting each daily and alternating for the entire lunch period among the three schools. The School Cafeteria has assumed a very important place in the educational system. It is not only the "sound mind in a sound body" idea but the fact that the good student needs a healthful mid-day meal in order to do his best work. It is not only that it is important for the student to receive instruction in the selection of food but also in the art of eating. The cafeteria is the one place in the entire school where the student feels relaxed, at home, at ease. It is the center of his social life in School. Here the student has something of his own. The class rooms, he feels, belong to the teachers, everything is under their supervision. The cafeteria is a place where social amenities can be observed, where the student learns to get along with other people. This, after all, is one of the first lessons in the art of living. Is any lesson more important than that of learning early the rules of social conduct, rules that may be a decisive factor in future success? REPORT OF THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT John Black, Director Several years ago a few of the larger cities and many of the smaller towns discontinued the shop work of their schools in an effort to reduce expenses. This was later found to be a step in the wrong direction because today most of these municipalities have replaced not only the regular work but have added more subjects. In most of our progressive universities and colleges special atten- tion is given to the courses in Industrial Arts. When the shop courses 140 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT were first established only such subjects as woodworking, printing, ma- chine shop and sheet metal were offered. Today there is hardly a vocation that is not taught in one or more of our public schools. We are very fortunate in Watertown to have such a wide variety of sub- jects in our Elementary, Junior and Senior High Schools. With slight variations in the selection of projects, the work of the sixth grade has continued as before. The total enrollment of classes remain at about the same number. The work of the East and West Junior High Schools remains about the same. Changes in projects have been made to make the work more interesting. The teaching of mechanical drawing in the Junior High Schools for the few periods allotted is having its advantages when the students reach the Senior High School. This subject is the foundation of all mechanical vocations and more time should be given for this subject. There is little change in the enrollment of classes. At the Senior High School conditions are overcrowded in many of the shops. The maximum load for shop classes should be from 18 to 20 pupils. At the present time we have the following overcrowded classes. Electrical 18 periods from 20 to 30 pupils Machine 26 periods from 20 to 30 pupils Printing 12 periods from 20 to 30 pupils Woodworking 10 periods from 20 to 30 pupils Drawing 36 periods from 30 to 36 pupils Today we have an all-time record enrollment of 58 Seniors, 78 Middlers and 127 Juniors with only 5 shop instructors. It is impossible to properly instruct pupils in shop classes with such over-crowded classes. Most of our instruction is individual and one instructor for such large groups is a great handicap to the student. There is also the prob- lem of accidents. With many of these pupils working on machines the danger element is greatly increased. Portunately, to date we have been free from major accidents in the shops, but the present conditions invite trouble. To eliminate the over-crowded classes it is recommended that the divisions be increased as follows: Seniors from 2 to 3 divisions Middlers from 3 to 4 divisions Juniors from 5 to 6 divisions REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 141 It is also recommended that another instructor be obtained at once. His assignment would be as follows: 12 periods Drawing 6 periods III Machine Math. 4 periods II Machine Math. 3 periods I Machine Math. 4 periods II Elect. Math. 29 periods - total With this arrangement Mr. Eisenhauer could be relieved of Machine Mathematics and his shop could be used constantly for two classes each day for three periods each. This would take care of all pupils who should have machine shop practice. Mr. Grimes could be relieved of four periods of Electrical Mathematics and this would allow for another class of three periods in electricity. It is also recommended that in the future all classes in the Industrial Arts courses be advanced as a class each year, thereby elim- inating the mixed groups we now have. Better instruction can be offered the students if they remain as a group. The following recommendations are submitted for this department: 1. That the sum of $1000. be appropriated to complete the equip- ment in the machine shop of the Senior High School. There is a great need of a universal grinder and a heat treating unit. 2. That Whitehill Hall be equipped with dark curtains as origi- nally planned. This department is anxious to use this hall for visual education. 3. That 2 steel cabinets be purchased, one for the East Junior High School and one for the West Junior High School to keep paints, varnishes and inflammable materials. 4. That $350. be appropriated for the purchase of one Chandler and Price 12x1811 printing press at the East Junior High School. REPORT OF THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Rena I. Bisbee, Supervisor It is the lot of a music supervisor in public schools to work with pupils until they attain a certain degree of proficiency, then lose them by graduation. But there is joy in accomplishment and in watching the development of the individual pupils as well as the large orchestral and singing groups. Each year brings its quota of young musicians to be trained and no work could be more interesting than this. 142 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT With the proceeds from past concerts many instruments have been bought which are loaned or rented to pupils for study. At the present time all are in use, as this fall there has been an unusual interest in instrumental study all the way from the fourth grade to the twelfth. The High School musical organizations remain the same and their several concerts are events which music lovers of the town plan on regularly. Mr. Chick gives the High School-Legion Band concert the first week in January. The Glee Club assists at this. In March comes the Orchestra and Band concert. All three groups combine to furnish music for the graduation exercises. During the term periods, the Band lends enthusiasm to the football games and many of the assemblies, while the Orchestra functions at plays and the rest of the assemblies. Each Junior High has a glee club under the direction of some teacher in the building. The regular singing classes meet twice a week—once with the teacher in charge and once with me. The work includes notereading for three and four part songs, word reading for unison songs and talks on Appreciation of Music. The orchestras are trained by the supervisor and every year give a joint concert in May during National Music Week. This is one of the most popular events of the school year. The elementary schools have had several changes in teachers dur- ing the past year, but the new comers have been eager to follow in- structions, readily adopting our methods so the course of study had not suffered. These classes are on a.two weeks' schedule, visited regularly by Mrs. Drew or myself. Extra time is given when needed. Mrs. Drew also is very successful with the orchestras which have been organized In most of the buildings. These combine for an afternoon concert every year near the close of school. The members of the music department are frequently asked for ad- vice by pupils and parents as to the proper instrument to be studied or when and how to begin voice training. Also we have requests to furnish talent for various entertainments in the town. We are always most happy to cooperate and give service by telephone or personal call. REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSES During the past year we have made: Visits to schools 1,206 Individual inspections of pupils 14,808 First aid treatments 2,248 Home visits 9?5 Visits to hospitals and clinics 108 Public Health Meetings attended 18 REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 143 We have assisted our school Physicians at the Physical Examina- tions of 5,240 pupils. Home visits have been made to advise the par- ents of the health work carried on, and to secure the co-operation of the parents in this work, and get Medical Attention for children who have remediable defects. Audiometer tests of hearing were given to pupils from the third grade through the ninth, also all pupils reported to have defective vision were retested, and efforts made to correct these defects. 304 pupils had defective hearing and 76 pupils had defective vision. The Middlesex County Clinic x-rayed and examined 65 children for tuber- culosis and the Waverley Clinic for retarded children conducted three clinics in our schools during the year. All pupils have been weighed from one to three times during the year in an effort to help each pupil maintain his normal weight, and we have tried to maintain a healthful environment for our pupils, inspecting in all class-rooms wherein there were symptoms of com- municable disease. REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Benjamin T. Loring, M. D. During the past year there have been no serious epidemics of dis- ease and few accidents in the schools under my care. Four of the ten football games were assigned me, and only one unusual injury not of a minor character was treated. That one, a dislocation of the left elbow, fortunately was replaced at once, though with difficulty. The usual routine examination of candidates for athletic teams, both boys and girls, has been made, with only two found unsuitable to take part in the sport desired. In any case of doubt the pupil has been asked to consult the fam- ily physician, and so remove responsibility from the school department. This has been my practice always. The regular weighing and comparison with standard charts shows very few cases of malnutrition. The taking of mid-morning lunches of milk by all under weight or making insufficient gain has been en- couraged, and every child whose parents were not able to meet the expense has been provided for by the Parent-Teachers Associations. This practice is followed in almost every case by a satisfactory gain. There has been very uniformly complete cooperation between my- self and all the principals, teachers and nurses. 144 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Albert B. Toppan, M. D.

I have attended football games and have also made a partial sani- tary survey of the buildings whenever it has been necessary. REPORT OF THE ATTENDANCE AND CERTIFICATING DEPARTMENT Joseph L. Carroll Francis M. Caverly I submit my eighth report of the Attendance and Certificating office. The Supervisors of Attendance investigated seventeen hundred and forty- three cases of reported non-attendance during the year ending Decem- 146 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT ber 31, 1938. Two hundred and twenty of these cases were attributed to truancy and fifty-two to the indifference and neglect of the parents. Four boys were committed to the Middlesex County Training School. These boys were having difficulty with the police because of violation of the law and were candidates for admission to a penal institution. After a study of their cases and conferences with the probation and police departments complaints were made by the school authorities and the boys were committed to the Training School, which was primarily organized as a school to develop good citizenship and prevent the delin- quent boy from being sent to a penal institution. It is gratifying to note in visits to these boys the great improvement in their physical condi- tion and personal cleanliness. Regular habits of study, work, recreation and rest all aid in establishing strong healthy bodies. One hundred seventy-six cases were due to the want of clothing. These children were cared for by the School Welfare Fund, which this year was supported by the proceeds from the musical and dancing show "The Dancing Dolls" presented by the Watertown Teachers Association. Each school in the system presented one or more acts directed by the teachers with approximately three hundred children participating. I wish to thank the Watertown Police Relief Association, the Di- rectors of the Watertown Municipal Credit Union and employees from the Watertown Water Department for contributions to the Thanks- giving Baskets delivered to needy families. The certificating office issued four hundred and nineteen certificates to minors for employment. Four hundred and nine were issued to minors between sixteen and twenty-one years of age, and ten to minors between fourteen and sixteen years of age. We were fortunate in finding employment for several minors. Should the public schools have their own placement offices? Today it is thought the school should assume the obligation of a public employment office, in addition to its educational and guidance functions, for all those who leave its doors. Universities and private schools have placement offices which function with notable success. It is generally accepted that finding jobs is a public function and likely to be best executed through some existing agency which has contacts in the community, has information pertaining to the employer and the prospective employee. The Attendance and Certificating Office is the logical public organization for this work.

This year, your Librarian, Miss Lydia W. Masters, completed her fortieth year in the employ of the Library, and her twenty-second year as Librarian. In appreciation of Miss Masters' long and meritorious service, the Trustees have caused to be inscribed in their records a testimonial of their high regard for the efficient and faithful service she has rendered to the citizens of the Town. At the Annual Town Meeting, contrary to the recommendation of the Trustees, the employees of the Library were placed under Civil Service. In the future, therefore, all new appointments to the Staff, as well as promotions within the Library, will be made under Civil Service regulations. While it has been the practice of the Trustees for many years to encourage members of the Staff to improve their training for library work by attendance at special classes, it will make it even more incumbent on those who wish to advance in the profes- sion to take advantage of every opportunity to attend such classes and improve their knowledge in library science. Improved facilities at the North Branch Library, either by remodel- ing the present building or the erection of a new one, are still desir- able and it is hoped the Town will provide new accommodations for this Branch in the near future. Respectfully submitted, JOHN A. COLLINS, Chairman, For the Trustees. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN To the Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library: Ladies and Gentlemen: Reading in schools is a part of the compulsion of public education. Reading through the resources of a public library is a matter of free choice and, except for reading assignments given by the schools, ex- presses the choice of free individuals. No compulsion is put upon peo- ple who take books from our public libraries so it is interesting to note 158 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT the trends of the times as shown in the circulation records. I herewith submit the seventy-first report of the Library which is for the year 1938. In 1932 there were 412,896 books borrowed from our ILibrary of which 63.8 per cent were fiction. In 1933, when the full force of the-depres- sion was felt, 420,859 books were circulated and of these 63A per cent were fiction. In 1938 there were 412,839 books borrowed and fiction dropped to 61.8 per cent of the total. These were our peak years. There was an increase of almost 10,000 in the circulation to adults and in the non-fiction classes there was increased use of books on social subjects, science, useful arts and on the history and description of various countries. This seems to indicate a live interest in present day situations and also that people are not relying on the newspapers and radio for all of their information. The circulation at the Main Library was 152,216, an increase of 8,577 over 1937, with the children's department almost rbaching its peak year. The East Branch gave out 147,153 books which was the largest circulation in its history and an increase of 1,976 over the preceding year. The North Branch circulation was 54,083 and that of the West Branch 20,646, while 38,741 books were circulated at the schools. Each showing a gain over that of the preceding year. There was an increased use of adult books in all of the libraries. Great stress is being laid, now-a-days, on adult education. We have not been in a position to designate any member of our staff as reader's adviser but we have done some of this work in an informal way. Good service in a library depends upon an adequate staff of well trained librarians and a well rounded book collection. As I have pointed out in previous reports, our staff is smaller than the standard set for a library with the circulation the size of ours. Our Library has an excellent foundation of books but these books must be kept in con- dition, discarded when worn out or superceded by later editions, and kept up to date with books depicting the progress in all lines of thought and endeavor. The life of a book seldom exceeds 100 circulations so during a period of heavy circulation there is a corresponding increase in the number of books discarded. Owing to a cut of 14.25 per cent in our appropriation for boobs, periodicals and binding, we spent $636 less for books, $67 less for periodicals and $297 less for binding than was spent in 1937. There were 1,622 ,books rebound, ,which is 508 less than last year, so the expense for binding will be larger in 1939. This year 822 new titles were bought for the adult department which is 182 less than in 1937, while in the children's department 294 new titles were added, 165 less than last year. The new books must be on a variety of subjects and suited to various degrees of intelh- gence, from the beginner .to the specialist. In addition we must maintain a varied collection in three branches of the Library so it is necessary to do much duplicating of books in demand. Therefore of the 3,612 books purchased 2,496 were duplicates or replacements. One REPORT OF LIBRARIAN 159 thousand dollars cut from, or added to, our book budget means much to the Library. A good foundation is necessary but the superstructure must be kept in repair and modernized if it is to be useful to the Town and our figures show that 33.4 per cent of the inhabitants, old and young, are looking to the Library for books to take home, and we do not know how many people use it for reference or quiet reading. Our circulation per capita is over 11.5 and the cost of circulating a book, discounting all other services, is but 92 cents. Both figures are creditable to the Town but I trust that next year we may have the same book appropriation that we had in 1937 and that we may be able to expand some of our other services. There has been little change in our special services. Book talks have been given by the Librarian and Miss Mead. During Book Week two plays were given in the children's department and two authors of children's books, Russell Carter and Robert Playfair, talked to the young people on writing books. Story hours have been continued in. the children's departments but our story hour at the Junior High Schools were discontinued because of the effect of the civil service regulations upon our payroll. There are many ways in which library service, because of its differences from other departments, is handi- capped because of these regulations. As at present our Library is the only public library in the State placed under these rules, there are many details to be adjusted. The Art Committee of the Woman's Club held its third annual art exhibition at the Library in November. This year it was an ex- hibit of antiques. The Antique Club, the local chapter of the Delphian Society and the Boy's Club still use the facilities of the East Branch and have expressed their appreciation of this privilege and of the book collections arranged for them. The Antique Club presented the Library with a book on goblets. We have received 325 books as gifts during the year for which we express our appreciation. The Girl Scouts planted six trees on the grounds of the Main Library and the Woman's Club planted an oak as a Constitution tree. These trees are young and in time will add much to the grounds and help fill the gaps left by the loss of the beautiful trees which fell or were damaged by the hurri- cane. Those of us who have served many years at the Library feel as If we had lost old friends. The chairs in the children's room are for the most part, relics of former days and the bills for repairs increase each year. We now have a few new chairs for the smaller children and I hope that during the coming year we can purchase enough more to have all the chairs of a uniform pattern as well as settling that chair problem for some years. This year we lost two of our assistants, Miss Green, the North Branch librarian and a member of the staff for twelve years, and Miss Shattuck, the first assistant at the East Branch. They both resigned as they were to be married. Adjustments have been made within the 160 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT staff and Miss Natalie Dunbar and Miss Ann Tracy were added to the staff as junior assistants. So with these changes within and without the Library, we look forward hopefully to a new year of service to the Town through books. Respectfully submitted, LYDIA W. MASTERS, Librarian.

Once more I wish to call to the attention of the Board of Selectmen the necessity of increasing the contingent fund in this department. In addition to the demands made by the Highway Dept. for work in connection with Streets, Sewers, Drains, etc., as well as routine details, we are doing our best to meet the requirements of the Works Progress Administration. During 1938 the W.P.A. work was a tremendous strain on our Department and I recommend the sum of $1,500 be appropriated for 1939. A Blue Printing machine is a necessity which will facilitate our work and prove economical for the Town, and a request in the near future should be made for this machine.

During the year one hundred and eleven house connections were renewed, due to age and ground trouble. 894 feet of Water Mains have been laid on construction and reconstruction, most of this work was in connecting up ends and enlarging small mains which had filled up to such an extent that they were almost useless for fire and domestic use. In the Meter Division 1040 meters were changed for various reasons, in- cluding three six inch Fire Detector Meters which had been in use since 1900 and had been completely worn out due to long service and were not meeting the requirements of the Board of Fire Underwriters. Eight new hydrants were added to our system and gates installed on each one. Four hydrants were found broken and were a total loss to the Department as no person could be found who caused the damage. Twenty-six new services were laid into new property for houses. The Water Commissioners recommend the following: The purchase of a light pickup truck to replace the present Chevrolet Truck which is seven years old and has become a source of great expense in up-keep. That the Water Department should be consulted in regard to work to be done on any street to be rebuilt by the Highway Department. The Commissioners feel that this request is urgent so that no more streets will be rebuilt or resurfaced over old services or old and small mains. That the following streets be laid with new mains: Cross St., from 4-inch cement-lined to 107inch cast iron, Gay Road connecting up dead ends, Orchard St., connecting up dead ends and for re-inforcing Robbins Rd., Barnard Ave., and high elevations, Stanley Ave., from Brunsene to Pleasant St., 10-inch replacing 6-inch cement-lined, Waltham St. from Stanley Ave. to Waltham Line, to take care of future building; Warren St. from Brookline St. to Waltham Line to take care of new building; Winter St. from Church to Cross Sts., to reinforce the Industrial center of the Town. That all services on Capitol St., Eliot St., Morse St., and Union St., be replaced at once. These services are in very poor condition and causing the Department endless trouble and expense. During the past year the Board has instituted a more efficient sys- tem of collecting back water bills. We feel that these methods have produced better results as shown by comparative receipts over the past two years. The receipts for 1937 were $185,618.55; 1938 were $188,221.24.

R.R. approved at Town Meeting) $300.22 Barnard Avenue 4,859.56 Boylston Street 11,068.00 Grove Street 12,606.06 Hersom Street 2,944.66 I $31,778.50 Balance 890.50 $32,669.00 Barnard Avenue between Columbia Street and Bellevue Road has been resurfaced with a black top. For a number of years this street has been a source of complaints from persons using it due to the excessive crown. This street is ndw in good condition and should remain so for many years. Boylston Street has been resurfaced from Mt. Auburn Street begin- ning at the easterly end and extending as far west as Winthrop Street. This part of the street was built and charged to our Highway Construc- tion account, and the rest of Boylston Street from Winthrop Street westerly to Mt. Auburn Street was finished under Chapter 500. Grove Street, which is a direct road from Coolidge Avenue to Belmont, and is subjected to very heavy traffic, was built by the Highway Department this year, after the drain and necessary catch basins were installed by the W.P.A. Hersom Street has been resurfaced from Main Street to Highland Avenue. This street was built in 1923 under the Betterment Act, but due to the excessive crown we were receiving numerous complaints from persons using this street. This condition was remedied by filling in the gutters and resurfacing street. Hersom Street is now in good condi- tion and will remain so for many years. 192 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Chapter 90 • Receipts Balance Jan. 1, 1938 $113.20 Balance received from State and County in Jan. 1938 1,690.71 1938 Appropriation 13,500.00 Received from State & County (1938 allotment) 28,208.12 $43,512.03 Expenditures Arlington Street (B. & M.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: I herewith submit the annual report of the Moth Department for the year ending December 31, 1938: The work of suppressing the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths was carried on in the usual way. I had a careful inspection made of all Town trees, as well as those on private property, for the infestation of the Gypsy, Browntail, and Satin Moths, and the Cottony Maple Scale. Where the egg clusters of the Gypsy Moth were found they were t treated with creosote, followed by spraying when the foliage came out in the spring. All parts of trees infested by the Browntail Moth were cut out and burned. Extensive spraying was necessary for the Elm Leaf Beetle and the Tent Caterpillar. The Elm Bark Beetle is continuing to infest the trees and we have had to offset this by extensive pruning. A constant watch is being kept against the invasion of the Dutch Elm disease, and everything possible is being done to check the ravages of the Elm Leaf Beetle and Aphis. That we may not lose the benefit derived from the work of previ- ous years it is necessary to keep the trees in a good, healthy condition, and this can only be done by constant attention. Fall and winter work is essential and this must be followed by extensive spraying in the spring. This year our work was greatly facilitated by the use of the new high powered sprayer which we purchased. We were enabled to spray the very high trees and also to cover a much larger territory than in past years. This new sprayer did wonderful work and the results ob• tained were most satisfactory, as we could do our spraying efficiently and not be obliged to let it out on contract as formerly. The Moth Department was helped again this year by the Federal W.P.A. Moth Project, which furnished work for the unemployed. These men assisted in the work of destroying the egg clusters, and of course considerable more area was covered than could otherwise have been done by the regular men employed in this Department. To keep the trees in good condition for the coming year the work should include, as usual, the extensive spraying for scale, disease, and the leaf eating pests which are so harmful to our shade trees. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. FORD, Superintendent of Moth Department. 202 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF TREE WARDEN December 31, 1938. To the Citizens of Watertown: The report of the Tree Warden for the year ending December 31, 1938, is herewith submitted: During the past year the trees throughout the Town have been generally pruned, and a number of large decayed trees, which were a menace to public safety were removed. I would recommend that new shade trees be purchased and planted in their places. Wherever the Edison wires or the Telephone wires came in con- tact with the trees, the attention of the Boston Edison Company and the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company was called to the fact, and prompt attention was given to their wires, and they cooper- ated with the Tree Department in every way. We set out 216 new maple trees this year, many of which were re- placements. These new trees were supplied with tree food, and tree guards were placed around them. Wherever necessary old guards were replaced with new. Practically all the trees in the Town were sprayed by the Moth De- partment, and everything possible is being done to help exterminate the Gypsy Moth, the Elm Leaf Beetle, Elm Bark Beetle, Aphis, etc., which each year do so much damage to the shade trees. The Tree Department was helped again this year by the Federal W.P.A. Tree Trimming Project, which furnished work for the unem- ployed. They assisted in the removal of large and dangerous trees, and 'in the general pruning and trimming. The trees of the Town were in excellent condition up to Septem- ber 21st, when we were visited by the worst hurricane this section of the country ever had; in the space of a few hours our most verdant and beautiful trees were uprooted by the terrific wind: these trees were all heavily foliaged—and this foliage acted as a sort of sail to uproot the trees. Over one thousand trees were uprooted, and hundreds were canted. Practically every street in the Town was filled with debris, but through the cooperation of the Selectmen, who worked day and night together with the men of the Tree Department and the Highway De- partment, the work was very capably taken care of. The trees which were uprooted and fell had to be cut up, and the wood was sent to the Town Infirmary to be distributed by the Welfare Department to needy cases. Many of the trees which were canted have been salvaged and guyed. As the Tree Department was not equipped to clear the streets of the fallen trees and debris, this part of the work was mainly taken care of by the Highway Department, and they did a splendid piece of work. In order to make safe and preserve the beauty of the older trees REPORT OF TREE WARDEN 203 which were left standing, this coming year they will have to have a general trimming and pruning; many of them will have to be cabled and bolted. All the trees should receive a liberal supply of plant food in order to protect them and stimulate their growth. Because of the great loss of trees during the hurricane, I would rec- ommend that a larger appropriation than usual be made for the pur- chase, planting and proper care of the new trees, if the Town is de- sirous of replacing some of the trees which were destroyed. The usual number of 200 trees will be very inefficient and would not in any way replace those which fell, and also supply the usual requests of the citi- zens for trees to be planted near their residences. I wish to extend my thanks to the Board of Selectmen for the splendid cooperation given the Tree Warden Department, especially during the trying time after the hurricane. I also thank the Boston �r Edison Company and the New England Telephone & Telegraph Com- pany for the cordial cooperation given me in the work of the Tree De- partment during the year. JOHN C. FORD, Tree Warden. REPORT OF WIRE DEPARTMENT December 31, 1938. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: The annual report of the Wire Department for the year ending December 31, 1938, is herewith submitted. During the past year poles were replaced by renewals in numer- ous sections of the Town in accordance with the customary annual practice of the Boston Edison Company, the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company, and the Boston Elevated Railway Company, thereby entailing necessary changes on the aerial lines and the under- ground connections of the Fire Alarm and Police Signal Systems. The necessary wires, cross-arms, underground stand-pipes, aerial terminal boxes, fittings and equipments were installed for these changes and several of these installations involved the transfers of Fire Alarm and Police Signal Boxes. A thorough check-up was made of all signal lines, both aerial and underground, to maintain efficiency of service. Renewal of decayed cross-arms, broken ties, insulators, drawing up slack, clearing of grounds and retention of proper spacing from the lines of Public Util- ity Service were included in this task. Standpipes, aerial terminal boxes, pedestals, fire alarm boxes and 204 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT police signal boxes were painted, and all signal boxes and apparatus including fire alarm boxes, police boxes and traffic signal equipment were oiled, tested and examined periodically throughout the year in or- der to insure their proper performance. One combination fire box and cable box, including pedestal, two fire boxes mounted on street poles, and one police box, also pole mounted, were damaged by motor vehicle casualties. There was a removal and relocation of five fire alarm tap- pers during the course of the year. I would again call attention to the fact that many of the exist- ing fire boxes are of the old type and much improvement could be ef- fected by retiring a portion of them annually and replacing them with modern boxes, so that eventually this old type of box will be com- pletely eliminated from the system. Due to the numerous false alarms which had been sounded from Fire Box #65 on Waverley Avenue, I had an Arrestolarm installed. The Arrestolarm operates as an immediate shrieking alarm throughout the vicinity of the box and to date has proven to be an effective cure for false alarmitis. The checking of the lines of the fire box circuits, the primary cir- cuits, the secondary circuits, the mutual aid circuits and the police box circuits for grounds received constant attention so as to keep lines free and at a maximum of efficiency at all times. In this regard, attention should be directed to an underground cable which runs from a point on Main Street to a point at Taylor Street which shows sign of weak- ness, as the cable has practically outlived its usefulness and promises to be a problem for consideration, as a renewal will be required. More- over, our aerial lines running along Mt. Auburn Street from Upland Road to the Cambridge line presents an unsafe condition as the sig- nal lines are constantly exposed to the dangers of high tension lines all the way. Therefore, I would again recommend the continuation of the underground over this area be given consideration. Due to the unprecedented September hurricane great loss was suf- fered in every section of the Town by the falling of poles and trees, which resulted in the destruction of overhead cables and much of the underground terminal equipment. Although all fire alarm and police signals were restored to working condition as promptly as possible by our own crew, through continuous day and night work, nevertheless, much of the restored damage is of a temporary nature and must be permanently rebuilt during the ensuing year. There are also weather- beaten lines in many sections of the Town which will have to be reno- vated. The maintenance of street traffic lights throughout the Town ne- cessitated considerable time; and burned out lamps and defective mech- anism resulted in many calls for night work. The expense for mate- rials and parts used on traffic light maintenance is absorbed by the REPORT OF WIRE DEPARTMENT 205 Street Lighting appropriation and the labor is furnished by the Wire Department. I recommend the continuance of this procedure. Street lighting was attended to carefully. Applications for new lights, and complaints in regard to troublesome or burned out lights were investigated and reports were submitted accordingly. In the matter of the Fire Alarm Central Office:—four operators are working on regular schedule and the duties of that branch are being conducted in an efficient and cooperative manner. The premises embodying the central office were maintained in the usual presentable manner. I wish to make mention of the fact that the Inspector's car is now in its fifth year of service. This machine is an emergency machine, constantly in use, and shows rapidly increasing deterioration; therefore, it may prove costly to operate in the future. Inspection of Interior Wiring: 817 permits for wiring in dwellings and industrial plants were issued, necessitating over 3200 inspections, due to the fact that many incorrectly or dangerously wired jobs were condemned and required reinspection when corrected. In the matter of commercial inspections, no permits are required, as such inspections are made at stores and places of business that had been vacated and the current turned off. Upon approval of wiring and notification to the Boston Edison Company the service is restored. The total receipts for inspection permits amounted to $408.50, and this amount was turned over to the Town Treasurer. I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen for their cooperation during the year. Acknowledgments are made to the heads of the various Town Departments, to the Gamewell Company, the Boston Edison Company, the New England Telephone and Tele- graph Company, and the entire personnel of my own department for the courtesies and cooperation they have shown me during the past year. Respectfully submitted, PATRICK J. VAHEY, Inspector of Wires. REPORT OF THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT AGENT OUTSIDE AID To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: The amount of money expended for Outside Aid for the past year shows an increase over 1937 of $33,705.01. This was due to the con- tinuation of the general business recession that set in about July, 1937, and continued through 1938. 206 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Our case load at the beginning of the year was 354. This increased to 394 in February and continued about the same throughout the win- ter and spring, showing a slight decrease in the summer and fall. There were 992 cases aided during the year, which represented 3,856 dependents. The monthly expenditure during the summer of 1938 was only 10% less than during the previous winter months. The monthly expendi- tures during the past fall and winter months shows an increase of about 40% over the same period of 1937. The case load would have been considerably higher if it had not been for the increased activity in the W.P.A. from March through October. The W.P.A. quota was approximately 400 in February and during the balance of the year, 512 new cases were added. The quota reached its greatest height in November, 803, and in the same month it was closed to new certification. There were 612 persons assigned to W.P.A. work during the year. 86 resigned to return to private employment and 177 cases were can- celled on account of sufficient income in family leaving a net gain of 349 new cases added to the 1937 quota. The increased activities of the W.P.A. affected the Welfare case load as follows: During the past year, there were 297 cases transferred from the Welfare rolls to W.P.A. In addition to this, there was approximately 100 cases certified by the Welfare Department and assigned to W.P.A. work just in time to keep them from applying for Public Welfare; also that approximately 75% of all cases assigned to W.P.A., came off the Welfare rolls or were potential welfare cases. The policy .of having Welfare recipients work out their relief has been carried out by the department, probably saving the Town at least $5,000 in labor during the past year. It would have been necessary to increase the amount of labor in the Park and School Departments and Administration Building, if it were not for this available labor from the Welfare Department. The labor was distributed as follows for the past six months, July to December 31st: W.P.A. storehouses, 7,480 hrs., Park Department, 3,180 hrs., Library, 328 hrs., Town Yard (hurricane wood) 2,012 hrs., Schools, 6,620 hrs. The C.C.C. program was carried out under the supervision of the Welfare Department as selecting Agency. There was a smaller quota than usual. 31 Boys were sent to camp. The boys are selected in the following order—from families on Welfare, W.P.A. and from large families with small private incomes, which we consider to be border line cases. REPORT OF WELFARE DEPARTMENT 207 There is a small savings to the Welfare Department when a boy is taken from the rolls and sent to camp, which gives the family a $22.00 allotment per month, which is generally considered and used for rent and -in this way relieves the department from paying same. A total of $17,695.09 was expended the past year as follows: $15,- 338.03 to hospitals for injuries, sickness and confinement cases. To the Commonwealth for persons boarded at the State Infirmary at Tewks- bury, State Hospital Schools, State Wards having a Watertown settle- ment and boarded out under the Division of Child Guardianship $2,- 357.06. Practically all these expenditures are mandatory, the Welfare Department having little or no control over same. We also wish to call your attention to the fact that during the year 1938, the amount paid to other cities and towns amounted to $21,- 527.73 and the amount received from other cities and towns was $18,- 727.97. The amount refunded to the Town from the State for unset- tled cases was $39,385.73; these two amounts total $58,113.70, collected by the Town during the past year. This amount is not realized by just billing the other municipalities and State but by considerable liti- gation by competent and experienced personnel, in our Supervisor of cases and Settlement Clerk, proving the settlement claims. These amounts collected, go directly into the Treasury Receipts, the depart- ment receiving no credit for same. The estimate of expenditures for next year cannot be based on stable facts. The appropriation and expenditures of the past year must be taken into consideration with what advanced information we can obtain on what we might expect from the W.P.A. during the year 1939, along with the general business outlook. With conditions as they are, at the present time, I feel that the continuation of the policy of the past few years should be followed, that is, to make two appropri- ations but that the initial appropriation this year should be consider- ably larger than that ih 1938 so they will have available, sufficient funds for transfer, in order that we may be able to pay bills rendered from other cities and towns and thus not create a large amount of un- paid bills and make it necessary to ask for a separate appropriation in some future year. The department wishes to take this opportunity to thank the Town Physicians for the service and advice rendered in administering relief to the sick and infirm on the Welfare rolls; also the Police Department for their co-operation, especially for the police ambulance for emer- gencies in transporting the sick and injured to the hospital, thus re- sulting in the saving of valuable time and ambulance hire. Respectfully submitted, AUGUSTINE A. FOLEY, Agent. 208 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Aid to Dependent Children January 18, 1939. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: This department has aided sixty-six families with two hundred and seventy-eight individuals during the past year. The total expendi- ture was $47,780.15, the cost per case being $723.94, the cost per person being $171.51. During the year 1937 fifty-six families with two hundred and twelve individuals were aided at an expenditure of $46,156.56. The cost per case in 1937 was $824.22 and the cost per person was $217.71. This shows a reduction in 1938 of $100.28 per case, $46.20 per person. Much detailed work, investigation and personal supervision is neces- sary because the purpose of this aid is to render, to those families eligible, proper care and assistance. Through the proper supervision in this office it is possible that the Town can be saved a large sum of money annually. The Federal Government reimburses one-third up to $18.00 for the first child and one-third up to $12.00 for each additional child in a family. The State Department reimburses one-third of the total amount of assistance given to each family. It is, therefore, to the advantage of the Town to give assistance under this Statute, wherever possible, rather than through the General Welfare Department. The personnel of this department wishes to extend its thanks to the various other departments of the Town for their co-operation and help during the past year. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH F. MURRAY, Supervisor. The following report relating to work done and money expended for the year ending December 31, 1938 is respectfully submitted. Expenditures for 1938 Town Federal Total Regular monthly pay rolls $40,000.00 $7,780.15 $47,780.15 including Jan. pay roll charged to 1938 receipts $8,023.07 $48,023.07 (no bills paid to other cities and towns—Law revised 1-1-37) Aided Aided Per Capita Per Capita Cases Persons Expended per Case per Person Year 66 278 $47,780.15 $723.94 $171.51 1938 56 212 46,156.56 824.22 217.71 1937 This shows a reduction of $100.28 per case and $46.20 per person for the year 1938, or $6,618.48 for 66 cases aided during the year. REPORT OF WELFARE DEPARTMENT 209 Old Age Assistance January 18, 1939. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: The following report is respectfully submitted regarding the work done in the Old Age Assistance Department for the year ending De- cember 31, 1938. During the year of 1939 the Old Age Assistance Department ex- perienced a sharp rise in its case load. This, however, was anticipated due to the fact that the public is accepting this aid as a pension rather than an assistance. It is evident from the attitude of the applicants that we will experience a greater increase during the coming year. At the beginning of 1938 we had two hundred and forty-seven active cases. The increase during the year was one hundred and twenty-two new cases, thirteen transfer cases from other cities and towns and fifteen re-opened cases, making a total increase for the year one hundred and fifty cases. During the year 1937 this department had a case load of two hun- dred and ninety-two cases spending $70,863.85, the per capita being $242.68. In 1938 the department aided three hundred and ninety-seven cases spending $90,973.86, the per capita being $229.15. This shows that irrespective of the tremendous increase the department has been able to reduce the cost per capita $13.53. At the present time fifty-three applications await investigation. Twenty-one of these have been submitted to us by the W.P.A. due to the lay off of all persons sixty-five years of age and over who are eligible for Old Age Assistance. This is approximately three times as many applications as were pending at the end of last year. There has been a great deal of controversy regarding the age limit being lowered to sixty years, plus a change in the settlement laws. If these laws are passed by the legislature it will mean an even greater increase in applicants than when the age limit was lowered from seventy years to sixty-five years in 1936. Administration It can readily be seen from the above report that the work in this department is increasing at a rapid rate. It is necessary that these cases be thoroughly investigated and all information verified, due to the fact that the work of this office is in turn supervised by the State and Federal Departments. In the event that an application is passed upon and aid rendered by this office the recipient is found to be ineligible by 210 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT either of the above mentioned departments the Town will not be re- imbursed and subsequently it will sustain a loss. I am of the opinion that this department should be allowed to prepare and establish the proper equipment to cope with the ever in- creasing business, that we may keep abreast of the other cities and towns. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH F. MURRAY, Supervisor. The following report relating to work done and money expended for the year ending December 31, 1938 is respectfully submitted. Expenditures for 1938 Town Federal Total Regular monthly pay rolls $51,694.67 $37,872.07 $89,566.74 Paid to Cities and Towns 305.33 1,101.79 1,407.12 $52,000.00 $38,973.86 $90,973.86 Including Jan. pay roll charged to 1938 receipts $43,742.81 $95,742.81 Bills receivable from Cities and Towns $2,924.84 Bills receivable from State Department 2,510.30 $5,435.14 Aided Expended Per Capita 397 $90,973.86 $229.15 for the year 1938 292 70,863.85 242.68 for the year 1937 This shows a reduction of $13.53 per capita for the year 1938, or $5,371.41 for 397 cases aided during the year. REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD 211 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD To the Citizens of Watertown: The Watertown Planning Board respectfully submits its report for the year 1938. The Planning Board in 1938 was able to perform its duties in a very satisfactory and desirable manner which was made possible by the approval of the new Zoning By-Laws. The Board continued to make progress by making Zone changes in sections of the town to fur- ther protect the home owner and make Watertown a more desirable place to own a home. A petition of the residents in the area between Mt. Auburn St., School St., Maplwood St., and Langdon Ave. was received to change the area from a General Residence District #2 to a Single Residence District #1. After conducting a well attended public hearing, the Board favored the Amendment and recommended such to the Town Meeting. This Amendment was passed by the Town Meeting in March and approved by the Attorney-General on April 5, 1938. The Planning Board requested an appropriation to print the new Zoning By-Laws and the Zoning Map attached. This appropriation was granted and the Board proceeded to have 1000 copies of the new Zoning By-Laws printed in booklet form and 1000 copies of Zoning Map in five colors, said maps were attached to booklet. Copies of Zoning- By-Laws with the attached map can be obtained from the Town Clerk, Building Inspector, or the Town Engineer. The Planning Board was able to comply to a request of the State Planning Board for data on the extent of hurricane damage to the Town of Watertown. This report was made possible by the coopera- tion of the Board of Selectmen. On the petition of the residents of an area situated on the south- erly side of Main St. in West Watertown for a change of Zone from Light Industrial District #5 to General Residence District #2, two pub- lic hearings were held following which the Planning Board went on record as favoring the Amendment and an article will be inserted in the next Town Warrant. The Planning Board had many other problems presented for con- sideration in the course of the year among which was a suggestion by the Board of Appeals for adoption by the Town of Sections 1 & 2 of Chapter 133 of the General Laws pertaining to an Act tending to pre- vent multiplicity of proposals for the same change in Zoning ordi- nances or By-Laws or in their application. The Planning Board agrees with the Board of Appeals that the adoption by the Town of this meas- ure is desirable. The Planning Board recommends the adoption of the six year pro- 212 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT gram of highway and parkway development in the Metropolitan Dis- trict by the Division of Metropolitan Planning which includes the fol- lowing projects of interest to Watertown:— (a) The so-called Watertown-Newton-Waltham Highway along the Charles River extending from Galen Street in Watertown to Wes- ton Street in Waltham. This would combine the advantages of a new east and west bound highway with the attraction of a boulevard along the Charles River. (b) An extension of Memorial Drive along the northerly bank of the Charles River, westerly and south westerly to Arsenal Street in Watertown. This will complete the parkway system along the north- erly shore of the Charles River. The Planning Board acknowledges with deep appreciation the heartiest co-operation of Mr. Otis D. Allen, Town Engineer, his staff, and the other Town Departments. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD I. HUNT, Chairman PHILLIP PANE, Secretary JOHN H. DARDIS, CLIFFORD J. McGANN, JOHN L. BRIGGS. REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS We respectfully submit the annual report of the Board of Assessors for the year 1938. Real Estate had a valuation of $47,831,010.00 and Personal Property a valuation of $3,694,360.00 making a total valuation for the year 1938 of $51,525,370.00, an increase of $332,645.00 over 1937. The "Form of List" are available for filing at the Assessors Office, Administration Building, and all persons are urged to file on or before January 31, 1939. The filing of this list assists the Board on levying a just tax on each inhabitant. All applications for abatement of real and personal property must be made on a form approved by the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation on or before October first of the year in which the tax is assessed. These forms can be procured from the Board of Assessors. The Board does not anticipate any increase in valuation for the year 1939. We also wish to impress upon the taxpayers that the tax rate and the amount of the tax bill is determined in a great measure by the amounts expended by the "Town Meeting." REPORT OF BOARD OF ASSESSORS 213 The Board of Assessors wish to thank the people of Watertown for their cooperation with the Board.

This year our work in general followed the plan of the preceding year. The season opened on July 5th, under the immediate direction of Superintendent Herbert O. Berry, and Miss Jean Oliver as Super- visor of Girl's Work. The staff of teachers, matrons, and life guards, numbered 34, of whom 19 were members of the board last year. Our program for boys included baseball, divided as before into groups, according to age; checkers, horse-shoe pitching, paddle tennis, wood-carving, and track work. Intra-playground contests were con- ducted throughout the season in several of these sports. Our numerous girl athletes had the opportunity to play bat-ball, 216 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT fist-ball, paddle tennis, and other sports. Other girl's activities in- cluded sewing, dressmaking, embroidery, needlework and handicraft. Doll Carriage Parades, Freak Days, and hikes featured one day a month each, on most of our playgrounds, while many of the girls took advantage of Ladies' Days at the big league ball parks, under the su- pervision of an instructor. One of our outstanding projects this Summer by the children on several playgrounds was the making of dolls for the American Red Cross, who furnished all materials. This gave the children an oppor- tunity to do some real service for the needy children of the Commu- nity, while learning to do something useful. Sprinklers were once again installed at several playgrounds, afford- ing the children shower baths as a relief from the heat during the hot month of August. The attendance at the beach dropped about 40% in record of at- tendance of a year ago. There were two outstanding factors in this tremendous decline in attendance. First: the month of July was ex- ceptionally cold and rainy. Second: the Metropolitan District Com- missioners ordered the beach closed for several weeks, during, and immediately following the long rainy spell, because of contamination in the water, caused by flood conditions. This will undoubtedly be the last year that the Town of Water- town will be called upon to operate this location as a bathing beach. This Board has been unofficially advised that the new bath-house, located above the dam on Pleasant Street, will be ready for use this Summer, this bath-house will of course be operated by the Metropolitan District Commission. The Annual Exhibition of the playground group was held at Vic- tory Field on Aug. 24th. In spite of the number of days that the children were unable to work out of doors, the exhibit was almost as large as last year's affair, when only one day was lost during the entire season because of bad weather. Parents and friends of the children manifested great interest in their work, and attended the exhibition in large numbers. In closing, we wish to commend Mr. Berry and Miss Oliver for their excellent work and splendid co-operation throughout the season. We also wish to thank all town officials and others, who by their assistance, helped greatly in making our season a great success. Respectfully submitted, WINTHROP G. ROCKWELL, Chairman.

REPORT OF INFIRMARY DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Public Welfare: Gentlemen: I herewith submit my report as Keeper of the Infirmary for the year ending December 31, 1938. The total number of inmates have been thirty-four which includes re-admissions. Seven have been removed to another place of support; ten, secured employment; one, was transferred to the Tewksbury State Hospital; two, to the Cambridge Hospital. The largest number of in- mates at one time have been seventeen, the smallest number, eleven. There are fourteen inmates at present; the average number has been sixteen. We have three inmates at present who have chronic ailments who need special care and attention. Our present inmates are all men and practically all, with two exceptions are permanent cases. The usual section of land was tilled and planted which furnished all with fresh vegetables a greater part of the year. Any surplus vege- tables were canned or sold. New gutters were installed which were badly needed; the contract for the same being given to the lowest bidder. Other repairs were made such as repairing the door of the boiler room and considerable painting was done in the interior; also new blinds, new screens etc. were made. The hurricane of September 21st completely demolished the storage 218 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT shed; a new one has since been built. Some Eight Hundred slate were ripped off the roof of the house, several blinds were smashed and about twenty panes of glass smashed and blown out. Hurricane repairs were made mostly by the W.P.A. The grounds are badly in need of a security fence; the general public making them a public thoroughfare; crossing the lawn and damaging the garden; the school children use the entrances for a bi- cycle speedway. I wish to thank the visitors who made gifts to the inmates, also for those who have donated reading matter from time to time. I wish to thank the Watertown Emblem Club through Mrs. Mur- phy, and the Civic Federation through Mrs. Markham, for their gener- ous gifts at Christmas which brought much happiness to all the inmates. I wish to thank our Town Physician Dr. Eugene S. Gorman who has faithfully attended to all who have been ill. Gifts of reading matter are always acceptable; visitors are always welcome during reasonable hours. In closing I wish to thank your board for your kind and careful attention. GEORGE H. wnrrr,, Keeper of Infirmary.

REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:— Gentlemen:— I hereby submit the following report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1938. The membership of the Department remains the same as past years and consists of (49) 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) mechanician; thirty-eight (38) permanent ladder and hosemen. Alarms and Losses The total number of alarms for 1938 was 430, a decrease of 12 over 1937. Of these 314 were still alarms and 114 were bell alarms, sounded from street boxes or sent out from Fire Alarm Headquarters on notifica- tion of fire. False alarms received totaled 22, a decrease of 6 over 1937, the lowest record for past years.

The uninsured loss included in above report is but $500.00. The home continues as a leader in fires and largest losses; we find that with the use of oil for heating and cooking, the usual place for disposal of rubbish, this material is allowed to accumulate to such an extent that fire is bound to follow. Fire Prevention inspection by mem- bers of the department, off duty in groups is continued. Much progress was made during the year in the removal of hazardous or dilapidated buildings. During the Hurricane of September 21, 1938, 62 calls were received at Fire Headquarters requiring immediate attention with the result that all off duty members of this department were ordered to their respective stations during this emergency period Sept. 21 to 22. No fire to any extent occurred which was fortunate, considering that many families had to depend upon candles for lighting their homes for a period of eight to ten days. Needed repairs and draining of surface water at Station 2 has been completed. New ladders have been provided for Ladder 2 assuring greater safety for the performance of duties requiring ladder work. Apparatus and Equipment Engine 3 has been in service 19 years and is now unreliable for the service expected and should be replaced at once. I recommend an appropriation sufficient to replace this engine during the coming year. The fire helmets now used by the men for protection against head injuries are in very bad shape. I repeat my recommendation of last year that one half of these be renewed at once. Fire Hose supply is at the lowest for some years; each year an amount must be discarded as unfit for service. I recommend an appro- priation for hose replacement sufficient to keep on hand enough hose for dry replacements after service at fires. I recommend an appropriation for the purchase of and repairs of uniforms. Renewal of tires are needed on Ladder 2, the Service car and the Chief's car. I recommend an appropriation sufficient to cover this expense. 222 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT I repeat my recommendation of 1937 and urge that a survey be made of all buildings owned by the Town, especially the Infirmary and School Buildings for the purpose of installing automatic sprinklers with sprinkler alarm to Fire Headquarters. This recommendation is for the purpose of better safeguarding the lives of persons involved, as it is the best known method of fire extinguishment, together with a reduction of insurance rates that will pay the entire cost of installation in a sur- prisingly short time and is a reasonable guarantee against possible destruction by fire of buildings involved. There is no cost for the sur- vey. It is worth every consideration and I trust it will be made. In behalf of the members of the department I thank your Honorable Board for your co-operation during the year. To the members of the department I extend my sincere thanks. You have responded to many hours of extra duty and have faithfully rendered service expected, with the result that our fire losses continue low. Respectfully submitted, JOHN W. O'HEARN, Chief, Fire Department. REPORT OF SOLDIERS' RELIEF AGENT January 12, 1939. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: Following is a report of the Soldiers' Relief Department for the year ending December 31, 1938: A total of 161 cases were aided, which included 612 individuals, an increase of 21 cases over last year representing 117 individuals. Soldiers' Relief and Military Aid Appropriated. . . . . . . . . .$46,500 State Aid Appropriated.. . .. . . . . . .. . . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,600 There has been a decided increase in hospitalization and medical care for veterans and their dependents. This has been anticipated and in future years there will be a greater tendency towards this type of care. In many cases of veterans employed on W.P.A. projects, it has been necessary to supplement their weekly wages with Soldiers' Relief to meet all necessities. Whenever it has been possible, veterans, who were employable, were encouraged in securing W.P.A. work, thus relieving our case load to some extent. At present, 78 veterans are employed on W.P.A. projects (this including veterans with Watertown settlements residing in other municipalities). REPORT OF SOLDIERS' RELIEF AGENT 223 Since assuming duties of this office (June, 1938) five (5) unworthy cases have been uncovered and relief suspended in each case. One case in particular has been handed to the Town Counsel for prosecution. There is no doubt that in years to come, there will be an increase in Soldiers' Relief as veterans are advancing in age and unable to secure employment. Many of these veterans are unable to work because of various disabilities and thus our expenditures will increase in fore- coming years. In performing my duties of office as your Agent, I have tried my utmost to be fair to both the tax-payers and the veterans. I wish to take this opportunity to extend thanks to your Honorable Board, the Commissioner of State Aid and Pensions and various vet- erans' organizations for their kind co-operation. I wish also to express my appreciation to all those, who have co-operated and endeavored to help me since my appointment to this office. Respectfully submitted, MICHAEL J. HARRINGTON, Agent. REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL Honorable Board of Selectmen Administration Building Watertown, Massachusetts. Gentlemen: In accordance with the law and by-laws of the Town of Watertown I submit my first annual report to you for the year ending December 31, 1938. As there are pending a total of two hundred sixty-five matters, I do not deem it advisable to include in my report a resume of each case. Earle S. Tyler, Esquire, turned over to me a total of ninety-six active files upon my appointment by your Honorable Board as Town Counsel, to which have been added during the past year one hundred sixty-nine new files, making the total now in the office of the Town Counsel two hundred sixty-five files, representing claims against the Town and claims brought by the Town against persons or corporations. Included also are a number of matters pertaining to Civil Service, and the status of various employees under the Civil Service law, which was adopted by the Town this year.

Hannon vs. Town of Watertown The last three named cases arose as a result of employees being injured by third persons while working for the Town.

These cases are now pending in the several courts of the Commonwealth. Several cases were tried by the Town Counsel before the Industrial REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL 225 Accident Board at the request of the Workman's Compensation Agent.

Hearing before Lawrence Bresnahan, Assistant Works Progress Administrator, on charges brought by Richard Lopez vs. a W.P.A. foreman, of Watertown. There have been thirty-nine cases in which the Town of Watertown has been served with trustee writs, and in all of which cases the proper pleadings were prepared and filed in the court from which the writs issued. CASES SETTLED BEFORE TRIAL 1. Thomay vs. Town of Watertown. 2. Horner vs. Town of Watertown. 3. Zaino vs. Town of Watertown. 4. Town of Watertown vs. Bleachery Fuel Company. 5. McElligot vs. Town of Watertown. 6. There were eleven cases ready for trial before the Appellate Tax Board but which were settled before the cases were called. There were two hundred seventy-one cases of tax title redemption certificates completed and returned to the Town Treasurer. As a result of the Town's voting to adopt Civil Service rules and reg- ulations to cover all the departments of the Town, which were not already under Civil Service, there have been a great number of com- munications and conferences between the Commissioner of Civil Service and the Town Counsel, and between various department heads and the Town Counsel, relative to the determination of whether or not certain departments, or employees in certain departments, were or were not under Civil Service, and as to their ratings, duties and authority. Numerous requests have been received throughout the year for opinions and rulings of law on certain questions and situations which have arisen in various departments of the Town, which requests have always been taken care of as expediently as it was possible to do so. All of the cases which were tried in court or before boards, with the exception of the case of Nally vs. Town of Watertown, terminated in favor of the Town. There have been innumerable claims made against the Town of Watertown, which are now pending, as a result of damages sustained by persons to their person or property, wherein I have denied liability on the part of the Town. There have been an unusual number of claims this year for alleged defects in public ways. Immediately upon receipt of a claim, it has been thoroughly investigated by me with the assist- ance of Lieutenant Joseph J. Reilly. Photographs have been taken and in many cases it is evident from the photographs that a defect did exist. In view of this I should like to recommend to your Honorable Board that an employee of the Highway Department be detailed to do nothing but fill in small breaks in sidewalks and on streets. I feel that by taking REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL 227 this precaution we will reduce to a minimum the claims against the Town for these injuries. It was found that the camera used by the Police Department in photographing buildings, defects in ways and other matters of concern to the Town was not of a sufficiently large lens, and that the proper equipment was lacking for the developing of these pictures. I, there- fore, authorized the purchase, out of the Contingent Fund of the Legal Department, of the necessary equipment, so that we now have at Police Headquarters first class equipment which will enable us to do the proper photographing. The equipment may be used by any department of the Town. In addition to the foregoing I have, of course, attended to the many other duties incidental to the office of Town Counsel such as attend the special and regular meetings of your Honorable Board, prepare the Articles for the Town Meeting warrants, prepare and supervise the exe- cution of contracts wherein the Town had an interest, attend special meetings of other boards of the Town, conferred with Town officials at their homes and at my home, and have defended Town employees per- sonally when involved in legal difficulties arising out of the course of their employment. I wish to express my deep appreciation to all the officials and em- ployees of the Town for the kind assistance and cooperation given me during the year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN A. MURRAY, Town Counsel. REPORT OF SPONSOR'S AGENT WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION January 16, 1939.

The Town of Watertown was granted 19,500 pounds of butter, this to be distributed over a period of five months to the Welfare Department, Soldiers Relief Department and Works Progress Administration—each department taking care of its own cost. During the month of November, we received 2,201 pounds and the month of December, we received 2,865 pounds—making a total of 5,066 pounds of butter—total cost for these two months being $50.66. MILK From February 24, 1938 to December 31, 1938, we received 154,922 quarts of milk at a cost of 2c per quart—total $3,121.24. The trucking of the milk into the town was paid for by the Federal Government. On July 1, 1938, for the convenience of the people in the East End of the Town from Walnut Street to the Mt. Auburn Bridge and also to relieve the congestion at the Grant School, we found it necessary to open up a store at 555 Mt. Auburn Street for the distribution of commodities. This has worked out to great advantage for those receiving commodities and has relieved the congestion which we had at the Grant School.

We are allowed to operate on the Repairs to these Buildings up until February 1st, 1939, at which time, repairs must be completed. I wish to, at this time, extend my thanks to the Board of Select- men for their co-operation, also to Colonel John J. McDonough, State Administrator, The Honorable David I. Walsh, The Honorable Henry C. Lodge, Jr., Mr. Dennis W. Delaney, Area Supervisor, Mr. Frank J. Leary, Assistant Area Supervisor, Mr. Otis D. Allen, Town Engineer, Mr. John J.

I also wish to thank Supervisors, Foremen and the men working on 232 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT the Projects for their co-operation, particularly for the spirit which they showed during the hurricane in the Removal of Trees from the Streets. Respectfully submitted, JOHN P. OATES, Sponsor's Agent. REPORT OF TOWN VETERINARIAN December 31, 1938. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: The following annual report of the Town Veterinarian and Inspec- tor of Animals is respectfully submitted for the year ending December 31st, 1938. During the year 1938 a total of 235 visits were made investigating dog bite cases. Most of these cases involved Watertown people but in some instances visits were made to ascertain the condition of a dog which had bitten a person residing in some nearby city or town. In all cases the dog is placed under quarantine if any suspicion of rabies is found or it is held under restraint for a two week's period as required by law. No case of rabies was found in the Town during the year which is the first time in many years that such a report can be given. Doubt- less the clinics in Watertown and many neighboring cities and towns for the vaccination of dogs against this dreaded malady has had much to do with the record of control. Inspection of all properties in the Town on which farm animals are kept has been carried out and certification of health and sanitary con- ditions made to the State authorities, a copy being furnished the own- ers. No infectious disease was found. All cattle have been tested for tuberculosis in accordance with State and Federal regulations. Thirty visits have been made to the Town barn to examine or treat Town horses. Medicines have been supplied as needed. In carrying out the duties of my office I have appreciated the full co-operation of all Town Officials and Employees. Respectfully submitted, H. W. JAKEMAN, V. M. D., Town Veterinarian and Inspector of Animals. REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS 233 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS December 31, 1938. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen: I herewith respectfully submit the annual report of the Inspector of Buildings for the year ending December 31, 1938. The permits issued were as follows: 33 one family houses at a probable cost of $166,900.00 8 two family houses 55,500.00 16 garages and oil stations 11,050.00 1 store building (4 stores) 10,000.00 1 factory building 20,000.00 2 office buildings 400.00 1 water tank 550.00 1 church 10,000.00 1 pump house 1,100.00 1 washroom 500.00 150 alterations or additions 71,245.00 Total $347,245.00 6 fireworks stands 13 razing permits 8 signs 1 awning Total 243 During the year many applications for permits had to be refused as violations of Zoning Law and Tenement House Act. Four buildings were ordered removed as being unsafe. The need of revising the Town's Building Regulations never was greater and it is expected that the Committee on Revision of Building Laws will submit their report soon. I would recommend that the Town adopt for this Department a system of permit fees similar to that in general use in surrounding communities. In order to properly cover the Town on inspections and investiga- tions of Zoning violations, it is necessary to have an automobile and I recommend that one be provided as was customary in past years Proper service cannot be given without it. I wish to thank your Honorable Board for your courtesy in pro- viding through the Works Progress Administration the clerical help necessary to install a filing system which will, on its completion, greatly facilitate the work of the department. ELIAS A. PERKINS, Inspector of Buildings. 234 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF TOWN PHYSICIAN To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: I respectfully submit my report for the period beginning April 12, 1938 and ending December 31, 1938. During this period I made 832 examinations, consultations and visits to homes, this including Outside Aid, Aid to Dependent Children and Old Age Assistance. Approximately 65 office examinations were made to workers of the Highway Department. Most valuable assistance has been given me by the Police Depart- ment in the transportation of patients to the various hospitals by ambulance and cruising cars. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, and also the various department heads for their co-operation. Respectfully, DR. P. CANZANELLI, Town Physician.

Hickey was appointed Clerk of the Department on April 14, 1938. Crime I am greatly pleased to be able to report that the number of breaks and thefts committed in Watertown in 1938 has decreased considerably. In 1937 the number of breaks reported were seventy while in 1938 this amount has been reduced to forty-seven. Likewise in 1937 the number of larcenies reported were 121 and in 1938 the reported number of crimes of this nature was 78. In 1937 there were fifteen cases of robbery and in 1938 we have but four of such cases. On May 16, 1938, a laundry truck driver, was held up at gun point and relieved of his money. The victim identified a picture of the criminal and we learned that he was a much-wanted man in several states and it was finally learned that he had fled to Baltimore, Maryland, where he was arrested on other serious charges and is now serving a sentence of 45 years in that city. No effort is spared by this Department in the war upon crime and in the arrest and imprisonment of the perpetrators. In some cases it has been necessary to spend many days and nights in search of a suspected person and in most cases we have been successful not only in making the arrest, but in securing a confession and conviction. It is very encouraging to note this decrease in crime in Watertown and I trust that with equal vigilance, we may be able to report a further decrease for the year 1939. Liquor Laws The licensed liquor establishments, on the whole, were conducted in accordance with the law, and the rules and regulations governing the same. As appears elsewhere in this report, fourteen arrests were made for violations of the law and in each case the violators were found guilty and sentences imposed. Arrests for drunkenness show a decrease over last year, the number being 476 in 1937 and 405 in 1938. Traffic On May 11, 1938, Lieutenant Joseph J. Reilly was detailed as Officer- in-Charge of Traffic. His report of arrests for traffic violations is in- corporated elsewhere in this report. Under Lieut. Reilly's supervision, a survey was made of the Town with a view to determining the number of various signs it would be necessary to install in order to comply with the "Traffic Rules and Orders of the Town of Watertown". This survey was completed late in May and all necessary signs were erected. There is maintained in the Traffic Department a Spot Map upon which each accident is spotted at the exact location where it occurred. The different types of accidents are identified by various colored pins. REPORT OF CHIEF OF POLICE 241 This map has been a great aid in determining at a glance the points at which there is accident frequency. The records show that 450 accidents were reported for the year 1938. They are divided as follows: Fatal-4; Personal injury-259; and property damage-187. Each accident is carefully investigated, and in cases where it is believed there is a violation of the law, a complaint is made in Court and the offender prosecuted. Radio During the year 2575 calls were sent to the three radio-equipped cars. The service received from Station WPFA, Newton Police has been excellent. I again renew my recommendation that a two-way radio outfit be installed in the Department. Recommendations The two Ford Cruisers in use for the past year should be replaced. The cars have been in constant use, day and night, and will not give efficient service for another year. I recommend that Two Ford Sedans be purchased to replace the Cruisers. Conduct of Officers Several letters of commendation have been received from the citi- zens commending the spirit of helpfulness and co-operation exhibited by the officers. Three officers were disciplined for infractions of the Rules and Regulations. The general conduct of the members of the Department has been good. Conclusion I extend my thanks to the Justices of the Superior and District Courts, the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the Town Officers, and private citizens who co-operated with this Department during the year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. MILMORE, Chief of Police. REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS To the Citizens of Watertown: The Board of Park Commissioners respectfully submits its report for the year 1938. In addition to the regular work of the Park Department of caring for and maintaining the various lands and deltas, the work was greatly 242 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT increased by the Hurricane which ravaged the Town in September. This Department was hard pressed to rehabilitate and clear the Park lands and to that end the projects instituted by the Board of Select- men were invaluable. With that help and emergency labor the work of clearing was quickly accomplished. It is regrettable that so many fine trees, particularly on Whitney Hill Park, were destroyed. However, plans are under way to replace those trees as far as possible. In conformity with the General Laws and after a survey of the public opinion the tennis courts at Victory Field were opened on Sunday, and this innovation met with approval by those who had occasion to use the Courts. We received an appropriation to install a new heating plant at Victory Field to replace the outmoded and dangerous equipment which was being used. This installation will greatly improve facilities in the locker rooms. As is customary Victory Field was used extensively by the Twilight Baseball League and by various organizations for sport activities, in- cluding, of course, the Senior and Junior high school athletic teams. Although the new Arlington Street playground has not been offi- cially turned over to this Department, it was helpful in planning the layout of the field and the baseball diamond. When completed this field will greatly reduce the demand made on Victory Field. Although economic conditions do not warrant greatly increased appropriations this Commission believes that the Park Department must have additional appropriations to maintain properly the land and equipment under its jurisdiction. As with other departments the employees of this Department were placed under Civil Service by vote of the Town Meeting in May. These employees give unsparingly of their time at night and on Sundays for the benefit of various athletic activities and thanks are due them for their consistent overtime work. We recommend that a fence and backstop be provided at the Arlington Street playground; that the unsightly fence bordering Salton- stall Park on Main Street be replaced by a cement border; that perma- nent skating rinks be established; that the playground on Westminster Avenue be better maintained. The Commissioners wish to thank the various departments which co-operated with us so completely during 1938. THOMAS F. VAHEY, Chairman. WILLIAM H. REGAN, Secretary. LAWRENCE F.

The work of the Department has been carried on as in previous 246 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT years, with emphasis directed toward the prevention of all things deemed incompatible with sound public health. The Board is pleased to report a decided decrease over 1937 in measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough. The Board of Health has been very materially aided by the co- operation of its personnel, the various departments of the town, and many groups and individuals. We wish publicly to thank them for their assistance. Respectfully submitted, EUGENE F. GORMAN, M.D., Chairman GUY F. PESCE, M.D., Secretary ALBERT L. BILLER, M.D. REPORT OF THE HEALTH OFFICER To the Board of Health, Town of Watertown: Gentlemen: I herewith submit the following report of work done by the depart- ment during the year ended December 31, 1938.

Cases of this kind require definite information as to the owner of the animal, in order that rabies may be prevented. Prompt and complete reports of any animal bites to the Health or Police Departments is very essential. REPORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT 249 Tuberculosis Twenty-three new cases of Tuberculosis were reported during 1938. One of these cases was of the Hilum type and the remainder Pulmonary. Seventeen deaths occurred from this dread disease, 10 in Sanatoria, and 7 at home. At the close of 1938, the hospital population of tubercular patients was as follows: PATIENTS IN SANATORIA Watertown Settled: Middlesex County Sanatorium 22 Rutland State Sanatorium 1 North Reading State Sanatorium 2 — 25 Other than Watertown Settled: Middlesex County San. 6 Total Patients 31 Diagnostic Clinic at Middlesex County Sanatorium The early treatment and checking of tuberculosis has been greatly enhanced by the close cooperation between the fine Clinic at this in- stitution, and the Health Department, Watertown Physicians, and the contacts of persons suffering from this disease. The follow-up work necessary to maintain a vigorous offensive against tuberculosis, is one of the principal functions of this Department, and should do a great deal to insure sound health to "many persons who might require ex- tended and expensive care at a later date. Tuberculosis School Clinics The yearly survey of school children in Watertown, of the adoles- cent group, has been instrumental in determining trends toward tuber- culosis, and has permitted early treatment and the arresting of many cases before serious development. This service is free, and parental consent is the only requirement for the administration of the tuber- culin test. School Nursing A Nurse of the Health Department visits St. Patrick's and Sacred Heart Schools each day, and administers first aid when necessary, and carefully supervises the health of all pupils through the established and standard methods of advanced School Nursing. This valuable health service, supplements the efforts of this Department to prevent illness and disease, and is very closely allied with the system main- tained and used by the School Department in the public schools. 250 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT Dental Clinic This important unit has endeavored to improve the health of all first grade children during the past year. The restricted personnel, and the great number of pupils needing treatment who are unable to visit their family dentist, make it virtually impossible to cover as much work as is necessary. The addition of another unit would provide for the complete coverage of all emergencies, and all first grade pupils at least once each year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN A. COLBERT, Health Officer. MILK INSPECTION I submit the following report for the year 1938: I have carried out chemical and bacterial examinations of all sam- ples of milk and cream submitted by the Milk Inspector during the first part of the year. During the latter part of the year, I have carried out regular in- spections of plants and milk stations, where dairy products are pas- teurized and kept for sale, and have collected samples, making the usual examinations. Milk supply continues in general to be of the highest quality. In the few minor instances where this was not the case, conditions have been corrected. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR E. BURKE, M. D., Milk Inspector. REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR To the Board of Health: Gentlemen: I herewith submit my annual report as Plumbing Inspector for the year 1938: Total amount of fees received for permits $480.00 Total number of permits issued, for which a fee was charged 120 Total number of permits issued for boilers and no fee charged for replacements 38 REPORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT 251 Total number of fixtures installed 600 Total number of inspections 220 Total number of water tests on plumbing 100 Total number of sanitary inspections 90 Total number of permits issued and not finished 14 Many hours of this office are taken up in consultation in laying out of work, and adjustments on sanitary inspections and general complaints.

FINANCE COMMjL-1 i r z Jesse Mason John A. Colbert Leland Bixby Matthew W. J. Carley Andrew T. Johnson Aram Brazilian Sterling R. Carrington Carl W. Johnson Albert Brogle Peter M. Feinberg John J. McLauthlin Dr. Pericles Canzanelli Artin Papazian Martin J. Reid John J. Dugan Domenico B. Raimondo Nazzareno Toscano Daniel J. Murphy Robert T. Sanford . Edward C. Webster Wilfred J. Paquet Report of Finance Committee In the preparation of this report to the Annual Town Meeting, considerable time and study has been devoted by the Finance Com- mittee to the various requests submitted by the Selectmen and other department heads. The estimates for appropriations submitted by the various departments together with the amount asked for in the warrant totals $2,340,291.00. The Finance Committee having in mind the de- mands of the taxpayers for a reduction in expenditures and a lower tax rate, recommend the sum of $2,020,636.00 and urge upon all town meeting members, the necessity for full consideration before voting to increase a single request. The Committee feels that if the citizens are sincere in their expressed wish for a reduction in taxes, they should realize the final burden of fixing the tax rate is upon them and should do all they can to assist the Finance Committee in its efforts to bring about such a result. Unfortunately some of the citizens of the Town feel the Finance Committee.considers itself all wise and should have complete control over the expenditures of Town funds; but this is not the case. The Committee spends considerable time investigating the expenditures of the town funds so that reasonable and proper recom- mendations can be made to the town meeting, and it attempts to make recommendations that are for the general good and best interests of all the citizens. It was difficult for your Committee to understand the requests for expenditures submitted by most of the department heads this year. Many of them feel that once elected to public office or placed in charge of a department, the conduct of it is the most important thing in the Town and their needs must be met regardless of other departments. Fundamentally such an attitude is unsound and out of place in the American form of government. The taxpayers are unable to meet the demands of the several departments and an attempt on their part to REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE 253 force large budgets on the taxpayers can only result in financial ruin to the Town. Property valuations in our Town are not increasing and the only possible way to reduce taxes is to spend less money. Thirty-eight departments submitted requests to your Committee and each one, with the exception of six where the amount is always the same, requested an increase in their budget for 1938 over preceding years. If the requests as submitted were approved and voted by the town meeting, the tax rate would increase at least $6.00 and with the decrease in property valuations and the increase in county and state taxes, we would be faced with a tax rate of $42.00. Apparently the people charged with the responsibility of running the affairs of our town, think we are living in a time of great prosperity, but unfor- tunately this is not the case. Our citizens employed in private indus- tries have probably felt, through the medium of the pay envelope, present business conditions and it is a shameful situation when we find our town offleials recommending unnecessary expenditures that would increase the tax burden on an already overtaxed citizenry. Your Com- mittee unanimously disapproves of such action and has definitely gone on record as being opposed to any expenditures that will increase our much too high present tax rate. We feel by the exercise of ordinary judgment and some prudence on the part of department heads that savings can be effected in the conduct of the town's business, if the department heads desire to do so. From past experience it is evident there is little or no desire on their part to assist in keeping down ex- penditures and bring relief to the taxpayers and it is necessary for tht Town Meeting to order a certain amount be expended for each depart- ment and absolutely no more. There are many requests in the budgets this year for salary in- creases and your Committee has unanimously voted to oppose all increases. The salary committee appointed last year by the Town Meeting made certain recommendations for yearly increases and a schedule was prepared for increases until maximum salaries had been reached in each department. We are unable to follow the recom- mendations of the salary committee because of general business condi- tions and we believe it is not fair for an additional burden in the nature of increased salaries to be placed upon the taxpayers at this time. The Town is asked to make an appropriation for Contributory Retirement Pensions in the case of many employees and we feel, in fairness to the taxpayer, the individual should consider this contribu- tion by the Town in reality a salary increase and the employees should be content to continue with their present salary until business condi- tions improve. It is not an easy matter for your Committee to oppose increases for those who would naturally be entitled to them this year, but expenditures must be curbed- wherever possible and we trust the different employees will appreciate the attitude of this Committee, and 254 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT bide their time until business conditions are more favorable to grant increases. In the State election of 1936 the Town accepted the Contributory Retirement Pension System and it became effective on July 1, 1937. Last year the sum of $6,000 was appropriated by the Town to start the fund and to operate the system. There is an article in the present warrant for the appropriation of $28,337.00 to continue this system and it is estimated that a sum as great or in excess of this amount will be required for at least five more years, before the fund reaches an amount where it will be self-sustaining. To the amount required for the fund a certain sum is needed for the expense of operating it and this will require a yearly appropriation by the Town. At the present time there are 187 members contributing to the fund and approximately 100 more are entitled to ,loin and others are eligible for pension under the old system. The cost of maintaining this contributory retirement system is another added expense to the Town, and in the opinion of your Committee, was not realized by the citizens when they voted to accept the contributory retirement pension system. The word "con- tributory" apparently misled a great many voters and now that the cost of the system has been determined we feel that a study should be made of this plan, and the citizens should have an opportunity to decide whether they care to continue with this pension system because of the added burden it places on them. The School Department has requested an increase in its budget for 1938 of approximately $20,000.00 over last year. This department spends approximately one-third of all the money used to run the Town and its expenditures have increased from year to year. Your Commit- tee does not want to create the impression that the education of the children should be neglected but we do feel strongly if economies were effected within the department, a substantial saving would result to the taxpayers. There has been a decrease of approximately 2% in the enrollment of the schools for 1938 but despite this fact a request has been submitted for an increase in the budget, and we feel some saving should be effected to reflect this decrease ;n enrollment. We have recommended the exact amount for instruction that was appropriated in 1937 and believe this is sufficiently adequate for the needs of the present year, to maintain the standard of instruction the children of our citizens are entitled to. In line with the policy of no salary in- creases your Committee feels the school department should not grant the annual increment to the teachers. We appreciate there is some essence of a moral obligation to pay this increment but under the con- ditions we believe the school teachers who are regularly employed, should be willing to stand by for the present and follow the recom- mendations of your Committee and wait until a more favorable time for their increment. Your Committee has faith in our public schools but the cost of maintaining them is becoming so great that the ap- REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE 255 proval of increased expenditures is definitely opposed. There should be a demand from the citizens for fundamental principles of good business management in the administration of the entire school system, and if greater expenditures are required the taxpayers should not be asked to approve of an increase unless they can be assured their money is being wisely and economically spent. Expenditures in the public welfare department are still mounting despite the assistance we receive from the Federal Government. Rec- ommendations this year for appropriations amount to $265,739., and it is not definite that this amount will be sufficient to carry through the year. The unemployed and the unfortunate people of the Town must be provided with sufficient funds to maintain themselves and their families until they can get employment in private industry, and regard- less of the cost the Town is bound to stand the expense. The expendi- ture of welfare funds should be guarded zealously and extreme care should be exercised to prevent the giving of aid to increase political power. It is the belief of your Committee that the Town officials could secure more relief from the Federal Government through the medium of the WPA, and substantially reduce the amount spent to run the Welfare Department. The Selectmen have been content to apply for those projects under WPA that involve more or less construction work and we feel there are many worthwhile projects which would be approved by the Federal Government, and would take care of a number of people on the welfare roll and considerably reduce the cost of maintaining this Department. Some citizens have an idea funds are easily obtainable in the Welfare Department and unless a constant vigil is exercised in conducting the affairs of this Department, that condition will prevail more and more and continue to result in excessive expenditures. The request for appropriations in the highway department appears to be out of proportion to the needs of the Town and approximately $282,000.00 is requested in the budget plus an additional amount of $35,000.00 for the building of a municipal garage. Your Committee realizes that a certain amount of work must be done to properly main- tain our highways but we oppose the use of this department for the gaining of political favor. The hiring and discharging of employees at certain times of the year is an unfortunate condition that has existed for years and this results in hardship to the employees and is detri- mental to the Town. Your Committee believes the Highway Depart- ment can be efficiently operated with 125 employees, so we have recommended an amount which we feel is sufficient to carry on its work and if constant interference by the town officials was removed from the conduct of this department, more efficiency would result and greater economies could be affected. Many requests for appropriations submitted to the Finance Com- mittee have not been approved because we feel the taxpayers cannot 256 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT afford to pay the bill. The claim is often made that a particular request for funds is relatively small but in many instances we have found the first cost is the lowest, and from then on an additional burden is created and piled on the present cost of operating the Town's business. Rigid economy should be effected in all departments and this can be done without injuring the Town's business. The taxpayer cannot afford to continue to pay the staggering cost of government in our Town and it is the duty of the persons responsible for the running of the Town affairs, to immediately retrench and get their department into shape and on a reasonable cost basis. It is apparent to your Committee, after having studied carefully the operation of the several departments for a period of years, that something must be done to run the business of the Town as nearly as possible on a basis that is used in private industry. There are many problems in the Town's business that cannot be handled in a manner comparable to private business but in the main good business management can be used, and if so used would result in reduced expenditures in all departments. Your Committee feels the persons charged with the responsibility of con- ducting town affairs should work with the desire to bring about help to the taxpayers which will redound to the benefit of each and every citizen in our Town. As Chairman of the Finance Committee I have enjoyed presiding over the hearings and deliberations of the Committee and thank each member for his complete co-operation. I also thank the Selectmen and Department Heads for their co-operation in presenting their budgets and in working with the sub-committees. The members of the Committee are to be congratulated for their loyal and devoted service and for fairness in their deliberations. They have worked hard for the best interests of the Town and it is the hope of their Chairman that their efforts will not have been in vain. Respectfully submitted, WILFRED J. PAQUET, Chairman. Voted: That the report of the Chairman of the Finance Commit- tee be adopted as the Report of the Committee. EDWARD C. WEBSTER, Secretary. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION 1938 1938 1937 1937 Appro.

GALLAGHER, CHARLES P. COLLIGAN, NORMAN D. MacKAY, Selectmen. For year ending December 31, 1938. 529 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: The Workmen's Compensation Department herewith submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1938. — Employees of the Town who are protected by Chapter 152 of the General Laws, the Workmen's Compensation Act, are entitled there- under to a fixed rate of compensation when they suffer injury in the course of their employment. This past year has seen more injuries than at any time since the Town instituted this Department, which fact may probably be ascribed to increased employment in the various departments and the nature of the work in clearing up after the Sep- tember hurricane. The number of employees receiving compensation has rather con- sistently been between seven and ten. In addition to that, however, many medical bills have been paid for employees who did not receive compensation. With Civil Service now in effect it is reasonable to assume that the annual sum appropriated for this Department has reached its maximum due to the stabilization of employment. The Agent has appeared before the Industrial Accident Board several times in the course of the year for hearings on claims, has dis- cussed compensation with every injured employee, has conferred with the Town Physicians in regard to claims, hearings, and possibilities of discontinuances, has made regular reports to the Industral Accident Board, has consulted the Town Counsel in regard to legal aspects, has consulted the Selectmen in regard to re-employment. The Agent wishes to extend his appreciation to the various Depart- ments, the Selectmen, and particularly the Town Counsel, who tried the cases before the Industrial Accident Board when requested and was otherwise of great assistance in the administration of this de- partment. Respectfully, THOMAS F. VAHEY, Agent. REPORT OF BOARD OF RETIREMENT 529 REPORT OF BOARD OF RETIREMENT January 1, 1939. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Watertown, Mass. Gentlemen: The Board of Retirement established under the provisions of Section 311F of Chapter 32 of the General Laws as amended by Chapter 318 of the Acts of 1936, submits its annual report: The Contributory Retirement System of the Town of Watertown was accepted by the voters of the Town at the Biennial State Election in 1936, and under date of November 24, 1936 the Commissioner of Insur- ance duly issued a Certificate to establish a Contributory Pension Sys- tem for the Town of Watertown. The System became effective on July 1, 1937. During the year 1938 Thomas V. Dwyer, a member of the system, was elected to serve for a term of three years commencing July 1, 1938. The Board organized by electing Norman D. MacKay as Chairman, and Thomas V. Dwyer as Secretary, the Auditor, William W. Norcross, Jr., automatically became a member of the Board under the provisions of Section 31F previously referred to. There are two groups of employees in the system, Group 1 which embraces all Town employees other than members of the Police and Fire Departments; Group 2, comprising members of the Police and Fire Departments only. As of December 31, 1937 there was a total membership of 187, 185 of these employees belonging to Group 1, and 2 belonging to Group 2. During the period from Jan. 1, 1938 to December 31, 1938, 80 employees automatically became enrolled in the system, 74 of these belonging to Group 1, and 6 to Group 2. This made a total of 267 members taken into the system, but this number was decreased by the withdrawal of 39 members of Group 1 and the retirement of 3 members of Group 1. This left an active membership in the Contributory Retirement System of 225 employees on December 31, 1938. As of January 1. 1938 we had 7 members as Pensioners, 6 in Group 1, and 1 in Group 2. Three members of Group 1 were retired during the year, 1 member of Group 1 died during the year and as of December 31, 1938, we have a membership of 9 Pensioners. The Membership December 31, 1938 is composed of 225 active members and 9 Pensioners, a total of 234, 225 in Group 1, and 9 in Group 2. During the year there was purchased $33,000 par value of Securities at a cost of $33,766.89 at an interest yield of over 4% with maturity from 1945 to 1970. The present market value of these securities as approved 530 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT by the National Convention of Insurance Commissioners is in the sum of $34,480.00. There was also purchased $6,250.00 Bank Stock. $3,000.00 par value of Securities were sold for $3,083.80 which cost $3,041.40, showing a profit of $42.40. The following is an income statement for the period January 1, 1938 to December 31, 1938 and a statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 1938: INCOME Balance December 31, 1937 .. .................. $10,912.79 Contributions from Members: Group 1 .. . .. .. .. . . . . .... ... .. . ........... . 13,699.56 Group 2 .... ...... . . . . . . . ... .... . ....... .... 677.25 Re-deposit Group1 .. ............. . . . ...... . . . ........ 61.13 Contributions from Town: For Pension Accumulation Fund and For Expenses ....... . .. . . .. . ... .. .. . .. . .. . 27,137.13 Interest Income on Bonds .. . . . . ..... .. . . . ..... 1,067.08 Interest Income on Bank Stocks .. . . . . .. ... .... 175.00 Total . . . .. . . . . . .. . . . .. . . . . . . . .. . . .... . . . ... $53,729.94 $53,729.94 DISBURSEMENTS Refunds: Withdrawal from Group 1 Deposits .. .. .. . . $2,023.05 Interest on such Deposits ... ...... ...... ... 7.41 Annuity payments ('Troup 1 ............. ... .... . ........ ..... . 16.68 Pension payments Group 1 . . ............. ... . .. ......... .... 5,365.31 Group 2 .................... . .. ....... . .. .. 1,398.84 Paid for accrued Interest on Bonds acquired during year .. .......... .... .... . .......... 391.11 Administrative Expenses: Clerical -Hire .. ............... ............ . 843.00 Printing and Stationery ..... ... ........... 24.05 REPORT OF BOARD OF RETIREMENT 531 Legal Expenses . ..... . .. .... ... .. . . . . .. . ... 250.00 Surety Bond Premiums ......... . .. . .. . ... 150.00 Gross Loss on Sale of Bonds .. . . . . . . .... . .. 11.80 $10,469.45 $10,469.45 Balance December 31, 1938 . . . ... . .. .. . .. . . $43,260.49 Assets & Liabilities Cash in Union Market National Bank . . . . . . . . . $3,274.11 Bonds and Bank Stocks at Cost . .. .. . . . ... . .. . 39,986.38 $43,260.49 Liabilities Annuity Savings Fund . . . . . . . . . . . ... . .. ... .... $19,09529 Annuity Reserve Fund .... . . .. . .. .... . . .. . .. .. 130.15 Pension Accumulation Fund . . . .. . . . . ....... ... $22,932.56 Expense Fund . .. . . ... ...... ... ...... . .. ... .... 253.73 Income (Undistributed) ... . . . . . . ... . . .. ... . . . . 848.76 $43,260.49 There is no question but the Securities that have been bought are of a very high order and are among the best that could be obtained. The Retirement Board must be continually on the look-out for high class of Securities, and this is made exceedingly important because of the neces- sity for maintaining interest earnings as required by the Statute and the high average age of the employees in the system who face less than half of the term of employment upon which the system bases its calcu- lation for maximum pension at age of retirement. Respectfully submitted, NORMAN D. MacKAY THOMAS V. L W Y r n WILLIAM W. NORCROSS, JR. 532 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF TOWN CLERK'S DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of Watertown: The following annual report is submitted by the Town Clerk. The important task of recording vital statistics, which are now uni- formly listed by the use of typewriters, reveals increases over the pre- ceding year in the number of births and deaths, and a sharp decline in the number of marriages. Fees Collected Show Increase The Town Clerk's department serves as a collection and recording agency for all fees for licenses issued by the Board of Selectmen, in addition to the many licenses handled within its own department. It is interesting to note that the amount of fees collected totaled $32,138.70 and represented a substantial increase over last year. Election Work Increases Yearly With the town attaining the largest voting list in its history, it must be recorded that the Town Clerk's office is handling an increased amount of detail yearly. Careful consideration should be given to establishing an office for the Board of Registrars, with a permanent Assistant Regis- trar in charge. Election work has reached the point where it is an all year task. Binding Old Records In keeping with the previous year, the Department pursued the policy of binding some old records. During 1938 fifteen volumes, repre- senting vital statistics, were re-bound. Inadequate Office Lighting The constant work of checking vital statistics, handling election detail, and now with the additional work of annual listing placed in the Town Clerk's office requiring constant use of the eyes, careful considera- tion should be given to proper office lighting. The use of a sight-meter reveals that the present lighting system provides less than one-third the efficiency required for office work involving long periods of checking condensed records. Block Plan Vital Need In order to attain the best possible listing of residents on January 1, of each year, the town should compile a block plan of all the residences and number of apartments in each residence. This is a real need if the police are to be held responsible for a complete coverage of the town. REPORT OF TOWN CLERK'S DEPARTMENT 533 Such a block plan, listing number of apartments in a residence, would be of great value to the Town Clerk's office, Building Inspector, Town Engineer and Assessors. By-Laws Once again I wish to call to the attention of the Townspeople the necessity for a complete revision of the Town By-Laws. The present By-Laws are sadly inadequate. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE B. WELLMAN, Town Clerk. 534 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT REPORT OF TOWN CLERK'S DEPARTMENT December 31, 1938.

GEORGE B. WELLMAN, Town Clerk. W. W. NORCROSS, JR., Town Auditor. MINORITY REPORT 537 MINORITY REPORT January 1, 1939. To the Citizens of Watertown: In these days of frantic government spending, widespread social unrest, terrific burdens of unemployment, and great economic recession, I feel that local economy in government is the largest factor among the forces which produce the individual well being and comfort of our citizens. There are other elements in addition to economy which make up the honest and decent character of our Town Government. They contribute to the peace, happiness, and general welfare of our citizens, and inspire confidence and trust on the part of the people in our elected officials. Such elements as personal interest, honesty of purpose, sound judgment, and just treatment of all citizens, without respect to race, creed, or circumstance, compels me to offer herewith this Minority Report upon the conduct of the several departments for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1938. No one regrets more than I the necessity for such action, but I believe that I owe it to myself, as well as to the great body of my fellow citizens who have shown their confidence in me, that my position on the Board during the past year should be made plain. To begin with, although I had supposed that during the two previous years I had borne, with my associates, my full share of the work, it speedily became ap- parent that under the new administration my efforts were to be circum- scribed. When power passed into the hands of the present majority of the Board, it seems that fair play, toleration, justice and gratitude must have struggled for mastery. All, it appears, have been sadly worsted. Some departments were given into my charge, but that the responsi- bility was to be largely nominal the developments during the past year indicated. The purpose of the majority of the Board to be absolute masters of the situation became daily more apparent. In my service on other Town Boards, it frequently happened that differences of opinion existed, but I had always found men willing to discuss them and to give ear to the opinions of others. It has been customary for the Board of Selectmen to consider carefully even routine matters. Before this year, changes in methods, new contracts, etc., all have had to pass the scrutiny not of one man or two men but of all the members of the Ecard. The combined judgment of three men has been generally con- ceded to be safer than that of one or two. Each has borne his part and all have strived to so regulate and correlate their work that the wisest judgments might be made. It has remained, however, for the majority of the Board this year modestly to concede that their judg- ment might be better not only than that of their associate but of the twenty-one individuals who constitute the Finance Committee as well. The public have a right to know how their servants are measuring 538 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT up to their responsibility and whether in office they are living up to the ideals and principles necessary in the conduct of good government. If any man is false to these they should know. If the shades are drawn and the doors closed when public servants attend to the public business, the public can only conjecture what they are about and its conjecture is not likely to be complimentary. I recognize that there are times when public policy dictates reserve, but the men who like to work in the dark mast take the consequences if their motives are distrusted. When the public business is transacted in the open, there is little chance of men being misquoted or their position misunderstood. The white light of publicity is a cure for many ills. I have not been able to agree with my associates in regard to the sweeping changes that have been made in the personnel of the several departments, practically all of which have been made outside of any regular or special meeting of the Board and in all of which I had no voice. The majority of the Board have not continued the wise policy of allowing heads of departments to conduct operations without interfer- ence and dictation. The entire situation would have had less of a politi- cal complexion and more the appearance of a sincere desire to promote the Town's best interests if it all had been worked out on broader lines with some consideration shown for the rights of others and more regard for straight forward square dealing. It has been said that I have been a frequent objector at the meet- ings of the Board. That is true. I was sent there to exercise my own judgment. As many of my objections as I could get into the records of the meetings, I ordered placed there. Other objections which I requested in the records have been omitted. Whether the objections I made were sound or not is a matter of opinion. However, they were made in good faith and with the Town's best interest in mind. It is always easier to dwell in harmony than in turmoil. I like har- mony, but I am not afraid of turmoil. Our present form of government provides for three executive officers—possessing equal authority. Dicta- tors are not provided for in the charter, and men who-arrogate to them- selves the powers of such find their pathway a rocky one. There are a great many "big" things that need to be done for Wa- tertown. But the way to get them is not to disintegrate and divide but to harmonize and unite. While the sound financial position in which the Town finds itself may be viewed with satisfaction and pride of accomplishment, two real problems remain to challenge the best thoughts and purposes of admin- istrative and legislative officials alike. First, of course, to protect and maintain this sound financial status. Second, the far more difficult MINORITY REPORT 539 problem of translating its benefits to relieve, in some degree, the local tax burden. In other days, such translation was simple and direct. Today we are face to face with a new era in which local appropriating bodies have increasingly less control in the determination of scope and size of local tax levies. The rapid assumption by both State and Federal govern- ments of governmental functions which hitherto were local responsi- bility, have interrupted local economy and defeated local determination of standards of service and costs. These, together with the reduction of industrial employment, the continued loss of local taxable valuations, the heavy burden of financing new plans of social alleviation, the pres- sure of great economic and social forces far removed from local control. have combined more and more to offset all effects of local economy and local self denial in government. It is to be hoped that some means of local tax relief may be found. Separation of the great cost of social welfare from the ordinary and necessary functions of local government would in part, at least, accom- plish this result. I am convinced that there must be some change in the administra- tion of relief, both in the administration of W.P.A. and local welfare, in order that there may be relief for relief and from relief. The expense of relief is more than our community, or any other, can bear under the present set-up and it is more than is warranted by the need for welfare. According to labor statistics, there are a million more persons gainfully employed in the United States today than there were a year ago. Yet, W.P.A. statistics report more than a million persons on its rolls than there were a year ago. W.P.A. is a form of relief and was calculated to be distributed among the unemployed. Additions to welfare rolls continued through 1938. Even in Watertown, according to the majority report of the Board of Selectmen, relief cases increased by 243 cases of families on welfare, aid to dependent children and persons receiving old age pensions. According to that report, this resulted in an addition of 1030 persons to the number receiving relief from the Town, although there was a transfer, according to said report, during the year 1938 of 297 cases from the Welfare Department to W.P.A. rolls. Further, that report states that in 1938 there was an increase of W.P.A. employment by addition of 463 persons, resident in Watertown, to its payroll. Cer- tainly, that experience makes it apparent that we need an analysis of relief administration in this Town to determine why relief rolls are so enormous and continue to increase. I suspect that our continued huge relief burden is not an act of God but is largely the result of politics. Nothing has been done to eliminate persons from these rolls who are not actually in need or to effect a reorganization of the relief system to es- 540 WATERTOWN TOWN REPORT tablish an equitable basis of granting relief. W.P.A. employment has become so desirable, the work so easy and the pay so good that relief is competing with industry as a means of gainful employment. The result is not only injurious to industry but it adds enormously to the cost of government and thereby increases the tax burden of every citi- zen and, moreover, it is creating an atmosphere and a class in our com- munity decidedly harmful to society generally. We must change the administration of W.P.A. so that its purpose does not alone afford relief but also attempts to secure private employment for individuals unemployed and if such individuals will not accept private employment then they ought not to be entitled to relief. We shall never reduce relief rolls until present policies of its administration have been aban- doned. The expense of administering W.P.A. relief in this Town is too great. Examination of the Auditor's report shows that the present cost of administering relief is 25 per cent of the total expense to the Town for such relief. In 1938, the sum of $178,284.16 was spent as the Town's contribution to the conduct of W.P.A. That report shows that $43,846.72 of this appropriation was spent for salaries And the hire of individuals in connection with the administration and set-up of W.P. A. apart from W.P. A. employment itself. It was never intended that the con- tribution of the Town should be used in such a large measure for such purposes. I cannot agree that such an expenditure signifies efficiency and economy in the administration of W.P.A. Politics in relief has become nationally apparent. It reaches into Watertown. There has been an attempt, on the part of politicians, to extend the benefits of relief to the majority of the individuals in every branch of society. It has been used to cover and camouflage neglect of some other important functions of government. The benefits of relief have created jealousy and strife among neighbors. The race to procure its benefits is on. The flood of requests continues. We have relief for the farmers. The railroads want relief. There is relief for flood dam- age, relief for soil erosion, relief for hurricane damage, relief for big business, relief for little business, relief for banks blocked full of funds which cannot be invested, relief for the aged, relief for youth, depend- ent children, soldiers and widows. There is relief for everything except relief for relief or from relief. There will be no reduction of the relief burden until relief for some reason becomes unattractive and undesir- able to the individual who receives it. Somewhat less than a year ago, the Town adopted Civil Service for all Town employees. The Civil Service system, if it is operated accord- ing to merit as it ought to be, would be advantageous and beneficial to both the Town and its employees. But if the merit system is discarded MINORITY REPORT 541 and Civil Service is operated as a political subterfuge or racket for the purpose of making political appointments and using the political service rating to retain such employee then Civil Service is disadvantageous and harmful to both the Town and its employees. Civil Service in Water- town has been operated as a political racket. I do not favor Civil Serv- ice as it is operated in this Town. We must have some Civil Service reform. Unfortunately, that must come through the State Legislature and we must wait until it arrives. I believe Watertown citizens should demand of the State reformation of Civil Service.
