Gentlemen: My annual report as Town Veterinarian and Inspector of Animals is respectively submitted for the year ending December 31, 1941. During the year a total of 365 visits have been made investigating dog bite cases reported to me by the Board of Health, Police Department or the State Division of Livestock Disease Control. In most instances these bite cases involved Watertown people and were of course inflicted by Watertown dogs. An attempt has been made throughout the year to keep a record of all dogs inflicting bites as to whether or not they had been vaccinated against rabies at the clinics conducted by the Board of Health. In all cases the animal is either quarantined or restrained for two weeks, as required by law. There have been no suspicious cases of rabies in the Town during the year, although several of the nearby communities have experienced outbreaks of the disease. A number of visits have been made during the year in connection with animals injured by automobiles and requiring immediate attention before the owner could be contacted. 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 Division of Livestock Disease Control, a copy being furnished the owner. No infectious disease has been found and in general the sanitary conditions have been satisfactory. Where neces- sary, instructions were issued to improve any unsanitary condition found. All cattle in the Town have been tested for tuberculosis in accordance with State and Federal regulations. No tuberculosis exists in the cattle kept in Watertown and of course all milk is pasteurized. In carrying out the duties of my office, I have received the full cooperation of all Town officials and employees and wish to express my appreciation. Respectfully submitted, H. W. JAKEMAN, V. M. D., Town Veterinarian and Inspector of Animals. 62 REPORT OF THE SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Gentlemen: The following report of the Sealer of Weights and Measures, for the year 1941, is respectfully submitted.

The supervision thus represented meant a total of about 3500 inspections. During the past year this Department has made the following new construction and installations; included in the summary is work that has been started but not yet completed: Installing emergency circuit from Fire Alarm Signal Room to Police Station, for emergency operation of Police Two-way radio. Installing direct telephone line between Police Station desk and Fire Alarm Signal Room, fed by the Town's Police Signal System. Installed wiring in Central Fire Station to operate water pressure calibrator, new switch to operate Fire Siren, and installed wiring for extension bells from all public doors and connecting same to Edison current by means of a transformer. Installed wiring in East End Fire Station, and installed Siren at front of building outside. Completed modernization of traffic lights at corner Mt. Auburn and School Streets. Installed new Police Spotlight and pole at corner Common and Mt. Auburn Streets. Modernized and made changes of Traffic lights at corner Arsenal and Irving Streets. Relocated lights at Police Station for changes in Police Rifle Range. Relocated Police Box and Pedestal at corner Watertown and Galen Streets, occasioned by street widening project. Installed new cable between Police Box Pedestal at Delta and corner Mt. Auburn and Arsenal Streets, and removed old cable. Installing new Fluorescent Fixtures in Administration Building, and installing additional switches and wiring for individual control of lighting. Installed wiring at Municipal Garage for Report Centre, Siren on top of building, and machine in blacksmith shop. Installed new service for Police Spotlight corner Galen and Water- town Streets destroyed by fire at that location. Wiring of Christmas tree and decorations at Columbus Delta. Construction and moving four (4) Firemen's tappers occasioned by their change of address. The above work is in addition to the regular recurrent maintenance work, such as painting all Fire and Police boxes, posts, pedestals, cable boxes, etc.; reinspection of all commercial properties, such as stores, factories, garages, etc., when a new tenant occupies after a vacancy; periodical testing of all Fire Alarm Boxes and Police Boxes, and main- tenance of same plus the maintenance of Firemen's tappers, police and fire alarm wires overhead and underground; the care and maintenance of all traffic signals, the supervision of street lighting and maintenance of electrical apparatus at the Municipal Garage, Administration Build- ing, Signal Room, Police Station and both Fire Stations. New street lighting installations were made or authorized for the following streets: 66 Arden Road, one 80 cp lamp; Bromfield Street, four 80 cp lamps; Chestnut Street, one 600 cp lamp; Evans Street, one 80 cp lamp; Fifield Street, one 80 cp lamp; Gilbert Street, one 80 cp lamp; Highland Ave- nue, two 80 cp lamps; Lexington Street, four 80 cp lamps; Mt. Auburn Street at Arlington Street, two new fixtures; Nash Street, one 80 cp lamp; Warren Street, three 80 cp lamps; Watertown Street, one 1000 cp lamp; Whites Avenue, one 80 cp lamp; and relighting of Arlington Street, California Street and Common Street from Middlesex Road to Orchard Street. Due to the present National Emergency we have been unable to secure an appropriation through the W. P. A. for the placing of all Town Police and Fire Alarm Signal wires underground. However, I recommend and have asked for an appropriation to place underground the Town Signal wires on Mt. Auburn Street from Dexter Avenue to the Cambridge line; included in this construction would be the Town wires feeding the East End Fire Station. At the suggestion of Chief O'Hearn of the Fire Department, I recommend and have asked for an appropriation to purchase and in- stall a new Fire. Alarm Box at the corner of Galen and Watertown Streets. I also recommend the purchase of a new 5000 watt Gasoline driven Generator for the Fire Alarm Signal Room to replace the present 1200 watt unit now nine (9) years old and not of sufficient capacity for the installation of emergency lighting for the station. The present equip- ment could be transferred to the Municipal Garage and used as an auxiliary unit for the Report Centre for one or two lights and feeder for the Amateur Radio equipment in case of failure of Edison current. I recommend, and have asked for an appropriation through the Street Lighting Budget for the following extensions and changes in street lighting; additional lights on Waverley Avenue, Calvin Road, Coolidge Avenue, Coolidge Hill Road, Grove Street, and relighting Com- mon Street, Orchard Street, Waverley Avenue, Watertown Street and new Traffic Blinker at corner of Mt. Auburn and Common Streets. I am still hopeful of securing a Project through the W. P. A. to re-map the entire wiring of all signal circuits, and an inventory of all Town owned electrical equipment on our streets, aerial and underground. I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Select- men for their cooperation during the year. Acknowledgments are made to the various Town Department heads, to the Gamewell Company, the Boston Edison Company, the New England Telephone & Telegraph Com- pany and the entire personnel of my own Department for the courtesies and cooperation shown me during the year. Respectfully submitted, LEO P. LANDRY, Inspector of Wires. REPORT OF WELFARE DEPARTMENT AGENT OUTSIDE AID Honorable Board of Selectmen: January 14, 1942. Gentlemen: The amount of money expended for Outside Aid for the past year shows a decrease from 1940 budget of $58,678.48. This saving was realized due to the number of cases closed during the year. Our case 67 load at the beginning of the year was 291 and continued to lower through the year so that at the end of December of 1941 we had 226 cases showing a decrease. There were 522 cases aided during the year which represents 1,598 dependents. The National Youth Administration furnished this department many children's articles, namely boys' suits, pants, playsuits; girls' dresses, skirts, slips and blouses; also household goods which included towels, sheets and pillow cases which were distributed to Welfare recipients, Aid to Dependent Children, W. P. A. and Soldiers' Relief. Labor Savings The Welfare Department continued the policy of making recipients work out their relief but not assigning a man for more than three days for one week so that all recipients would be free to look for private employment and also to accept part time work. This department has now furnished some of the women on relief to, help the Red Cross. Gratuitous labor furnished by the Welfare Department to the various Town Departments totalled 4,072 hours. Admin. Bldg. Commodity Sta. Public Libraries 1,297 hours 420 hours 333 hours Park Dept. Police Dept. School Dept. 245 hours 89 hours 1,644 hours Town Garage WPA Projects 9 hours 35 hours The CCC program was carried out as usual under the direction of the Welfare Department. Watertown's quota was 9 showing a decrease of 47 compared to preceding year's quota. Applicants whose families were on welfare or WPA were given preference and the allotment was changed to $15.00 per month, this leaving an amount of $7.00 to be put In deposit and $8.00 for their own spending. The $15.00 is paid directly to the families and relieves the Welfare Department from paying any rent if the applicant is on relief. During the past year, a total of $5,238.56 was paid to other cities and towns for welfare aid disbursed to people in their municipalities and having a welfare settlement in Watertown, this department having no control over same. The amount received from other cities and towns totalled $8,938.68. The amount refunded to the Town from the State in unsettled cases was $26,871.66. The total amount of reimbursements to the Town for the past year was $35,810.34. These amounts collected go directly into Treasury Receipts, the department receiving no credit for same, leaving a net cost for the year 1941 of $117,093.07. The Welfare Department has cooperated with the District Nursing Association in securing Government evaporated milk for infants and children of pre-school age in families needing this type of aid. 24 fam- ilies received this milk which was distributed once a week, 7 cans at a time, and has proved very beneficial to these infants and children. Dur- ing the past year, 3605 cans of milk were disbursed. These 24 families also received Cod Liver Oil for the prescribed formulas. The Department takes this opportunity to thank the Board of Public Welfare for their time and attention in the weekly conferences on the many problems of this Department, the Town Physician and Town Counsel for their cooperation when rendering service to the Department. Respectfully submitted, AUGUSTINE A. FOLEY. Agent. 68 REPORT OF TOWN ENGINEER To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: I herewith submit the following report of work done by this de- partment for the year ending December 31, 1941.

Eliot; Town Engineer, Otis D. Allen; State W.P.A. Administrator, Dellis W. Delaney and W.P.A. Executive Staff at the Boston and Cambridge offices. Sincerely, JOHN P. OATES, Sponsor's Agent. REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD To the Citizens of Watertown:— The Watertown Planning Board respectfully submits its report for the year of 1941. The Planning Board in 1941 was able to perform its duties in a very satisfactory and desirable manner. The Board continued to make progress by changes in zones in different sections of the town, protect- ing the home owner and making Watertown a more desirable place to own a home. A further aid to the Board was the abolishment of the Tenement House Act. This abolishment allows four-family houses to be built of second class construction. As a result of this, petitions were presented to the Board to change the zoning of property on Aldridge Road and Water- town Street from district No. 2 General Residence District, to District No. 3, Apartment House District. These petitions were subsequently approved by the Planning Board and the Town Meeting, and apartments are well along in the process of construction. These apartments will in a large measure aid in solving the problem of house shortage which confronts the town at this time, and will bring into the Town $150,000, of taxable property. Although the new Zoning By-Laws are of great assistance in making Watertown a better place in which to own a home, it is the opinion of the Planning Board and Building Inspector Elias Perkins, that certain improvements could, and should, be made, to afford a more efficient administration. To that end the Board and the Building Inspector, are making an intensive study of the laws and it is hoped that in the near 90 future, recommendations can be made that will benefit home owners in Watertown. Although the Post Office is operating as efficiently as is possible under present conditions, it falls far short in meeting the requirements of our town. It is hoped by the Board that Watertown will avail itself at the first opportunity to acquire a new Post Office Building. The Planning Board is pleased that its recommendation for a maximum speed law of 30 miles per hour has now been adopted and, as a result, the traffic hazard has been greatly reduced. At present, our speed regulations are in accord with those of Newton and Waltham. The Planning Board acknowledges with deep appreciation the heartiest co-operation of Mr. Otis D. Allen, Town Engineer, his staff and Mr. Elias A. Perkins, Town Building Inspector, and the other town departments. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES P. EATON, Chairman KENNETH S. NEWELL, Secretary JOHN H. DARDIS GEORGE E. LeFAVOR WILLIAM H. HOLMES REPORT OF SOLDIERS' RELIEF AGENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen: The following is a report of the Soldiers' Relief Department for the year ending December 31, 1941: Soldiers' Relief and Military Aid appropriated . . . ... . . . . . . . . . $41,500.00 State Aid appropriated .... . .. .. . . .. . . ..... .... . ... . . . . .... .. 1,300.00 During the year, we aided 1104 cases representing 3725 individuals with a decrease in expenditures compared to 1940 in the amount of $12,884.77. This was largely due to veterans or members of their fam- ilies having obtained employment on W. P. A., private and defense industries. Thirty-nine veterans applied and received W. P. A. employ- ment. Requests for medical care and hospitalization for veterans and their dependents are increasing as the veterans advance in age. This type of assistance has been anticipated as time goes on. In view of the present higher cost of living, the Deputy Acting Commissioner of State Aid and Pensions recommended an increase in monthly allowances for veterans and their dependents plus a reasonable supply of fuel, also medicine and medical care, when necessary. Due to uncertain conditions, it is difficult at this time to definitely . foretell the needs of the department. We can, however, predict that there. will be an increase in State Aid during the coining year. The amount paid in the form of State Aid is reimbursed by the Common- wealth in full. I wish to take this opportunity to thank your Honorable Board, Mr. Dennis H. Haverty, Deputy Acting Commissioner of State Aid and Pensions and his staff, the various veterans' organizations and their auxiliaries for their cooperation in my effort, as your Agent, to be fair with the veterans and the tax-payers. Respectfully submitted, MICHAEL J. HARRINGTON, Agent. 91 REPORT OF TREE WARDEN December 31, 1941 To the Citizens of Watertown: I herewith submit the report of the Tree Warden for the year ending December 31, 1941: During the past year the trees throughout the Town have been pruned, and some of the large decayed trees which would prove a menace to the public safety were removed. I would recommend that new trees be purchased to replace those removed. Old tree guards were repaired and new ones put in wherever neces- sary. We set out 200 new maple trees this past year, some of these being replacements, others were set out on various streets of the Town on requests of the citizens. These new trees were suppled with tree food and new tree guards were placed around them. Each year the demand for these new trees far exceeds the supply which we are privileged to purchase. Many of our streets are without trees and the recent new building developments will necessitate the purchase of many more trees in the future, as a street without trees is not a very attractive place in which to live. Our new trees would be in very much better condition if we had the funds to purchase the necessary fertilizer and loam for this work. We had the Town trees sprayed for the Elm Leaf Beetle and Aphis, the Gypsy, Browntail and Satin Moths during the summer months. We were handicapped this year in the work of trimming, bolting, cabling and cavity filling, as our appropriation was limited and the work which had been done in previous years by the W.P.A. Tree Trim- ming Project had to be left undone. The Boston Edison Company, and the New England Telephone & Telegraph Company were most co-operative in trimming all trees where the branches came in contact with their wires. My thanks are extended to the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to the heads of the various Town Departments for the co-operation given me in the work of the Tree Department during the year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. FORD, Tree Warden. REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen: I herewith subinit the annual report of the Moth Department for the year ending December 31, 1941: The work of suppressing the Gypsy and Browntail Moths was carried on this year in the usual way. All Town trees, as well as those on private properties, were carefully inspected for infestation of the Gypsy, Browntail, Satin and Oriental Hag Moths and the Cottony Maple Scale. During the winter months the egg clusters of the Gypsy Moth were treated with creosote; all parts of trees infested by the Browntail Moth were cut out and burned. This work was followed by spraying during the summer months. The Elm Leaf Beetle and Aphis and Tent Caterpillar continue to 92 infest the trees, and as the best way to cope with these pests is to spray, we gave these trees an intensive spraying. The damage done by the Elm Bark Beetle we had to offset by pruning. In order to preserve our trees from the ravages of these leaf eating pests, which eventually destroy the life of the tree, we should be in a position to purchase more arsenate of lead and nicotine than we have had in previous years, and do much heavier spraying than formerly. All spraying done on private property is taxable and the amount collected this past year through the Tax Collector's office for this work was $537.00. In order to prevent the spreading of these pests the trees on private properties should be sprayed as well as our public shade trees. As there was no W. P. A. Moth Project this fall we were unable— because of the small amount of our appropriation—to accomplish as much work in this direction as heretofore. Therefore less scouting and pruning was done. To keep the trees from being ravaged by the leaf eating moths, beetles, etc., considerable scouting should be done this winter, followed by spraying in the summer months. I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Select- men for the cooperation given me during the year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. FORD, Superintendent. REPORT Or INSPECTOR Or BUILDINGS Watertown, Mass., December 31, 1941 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, 1941.

The year just ended showed a decided increase in new construction over any of the preceding ten years, although no large projects were developed. The new construction was about equally divided between residential and industrial. The change in our apartment house laws was responsible for about $100,000. increase. This no doubt would have been much larger except for present high prices and scarcity of materials. There seems to be a strong trend toward the very small single house. I would again recommend that a committee be appointed to revise our Zoning By-Law to meet changing conditions. I with to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, and the various Town Departments for their courtesy and co-operation during the year. ELIAS A. PERKINS, Inspector of Buildings. 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, 1941. The membership of the Department remains the same as at the close of 1940 and is 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; forty-eight (48) permanent ladder and hosemen: Alarms and Losses The total number of alarms for 1941 was 576, an increase of 157 over 1940. Of these 419 were still alarms and 157 were bell alarms sounded from street boxes or sent out from Fire Alarm Headquarters on notification of fire. The total number of false alarms for the year was 24, which is an increase of 14 over 1940. This is the largest number of alarms ever received within one year, making an all-time record. Insurance Values Losses Insurance Paid Buildings $864,279.00 $32,435.21 $821,179.00 $31,135.21 Contents 520,305.00 22,013.87 466,500.00 20,638.87 $1,384,584.00 $54,449.08 $1,287,679.00 $51,774.08 Automobiles 3,700.00 1,130.00 1,700.00 1,130.00 Losses generally correspond to alarms received and this is true for 1941. While the alarms showed a considerable increase the losses fol- lowed very close. There were a total of 44 reportable fires for the year with a total loss both insured and uninsured of $55,579.08, an increase 94 of $13,460.05 over 1941. There were 11 fires involving a loss of over $1000.00 each, with the largest individual loss being $18,242.50. There were only 4 multiple alarms, two of which occurred on April 19, 1941. The Department, as usual, have responded to many calls for assist- ance not involving fire. Our National Defense program has been car- ried on extensively. Many extra hours of labor have been contributed by the men that we may be prepared for any emergency. Several members of the department stand out very prominently in this work, rendering assistance many times when called upon. Three members completed the Air Raid Precaution course conducted by the Massachu- setts Department of Public Safety during May and June and these men were detailed to impart to others the information received and have given freely many hours of their time while off duty. On June 19 the Department returned to the two-platoon system of longer hours, or an average of 84 hours per week. With the declaration of War any privilege that this system of operation permitted was sus- pended. Men are now virtually on a 24-hour basis subject to call at any time and are not permitted to leave town without permission. Continuous watch service at both stations is now in operation and men have been detailed for service at the Aid Raid Report Centre, many volunteering for this service. At the close of the year, the Board of Selectmen placed an order for a new 750 gallon pump to replace Engine No. 3; also ordered ;two 500-gallon trailer pumps delivered to the Station and three small trucks adaptable for our Auxiliary Fire Force. The work of refitting and pre- paring these trucks is being done by members of the Department under the Department Mechanic and is going ahead in a very satisfactory manner. An Auxiliary Fire Force has been organized and is receiving neces- sary instructions by the Department Drill-Master Lieutenant John J. Devaney, who is recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Educa- tion as outstanding in this work, having requested the use of his services to assist in other communities. Fire Prevention has been carried on extensively. Two men are permanently detailed to this work which is so important at this time. Homeowners, business men and our manufacturers have co-operated to the fullest extent. We have had the co-operation of the building inspectors in the removal of hazards and two general inspections of the entire town has been made by members of the department while off duty. This is a work that all should take a personal interest in. We must protect our resources from fire. May I urge your co-operation? The response to alarms by men off duty has shown some improve- ment. This can be improved upon further by the placing of fire alarm tappers in homes of firemen, not now provided with them, and I urge an appropriation to cover this expense. Uniforms: In 1941 an appropriation of $600.00 was provided for uni- forms. This was inadequate to provide all that were needed. Overcoats purchased in 1929 are now in such condition that most of them must be renewed. I urge an appropriation of $1950.00 for uniforms for 1942. Hose supply continues to be low and in case of emergency would be found wanting. I believe in being prepared for an emergency. All fire supplies are at a premium, if in fact they can be purchased at all. Mr. Applin has ordered 1000 ft. of 2V inch hose and 5040 ft. of 1'/, inch hose. This is for Auxiliary force only, with date of delivery uncertain. I recommended an appropriation of $3000.00 for 2% inch hose as part of our regular equipment. With the demands upon the department because of War conditions 95 for strict enforcement of fire laws, extra inspections, instruction, details for watch service, increase in alarms, sick leave and injuries, I find the department is much undermanned as recommended by the National Board of Underwriters in their survey of 1937. This, in spite of the fact that 10 men were added in December 1939, and with the renewal of Engine 3 which is on order, men must be provided to properly operate the unit. This unit has Never had more than a driver and one man, but because of reasons as stated above it must be properly manned to give needed protection. I recommend that six additional men be appointed as of April 1, that they may be trained before vacation period, which again is a cause of reducing the men available for at least 4 months. There has been no changes nor additions to the force of subordinate officers in the department for a number of years, and with the increased alarms and duties I recommend the following changes and additions:— We have three permanent captains and four lieutenants, all doing iden- tically the same work, and when captains are absent the lieutenants assume the duties of captains but at a lower rate of pay. This was brought about by the operation of the two-platoon system, because when the captains are off, which is one-half of every 24 hours, the lieutenant is acting captain. This is acknowledged by all heads of department to be most unsatisfactory, and the cause of much dissension among men and officers, a condition that is not for the best interest of the depart- ment. To overcome this condition I recommend that all lieutenants now serving as such be promoted to captains, subject of course to Civil Service rules and regulations, appointments to take place at once as an emergency war measure These officers recommended for promotion are, Lieutenant John J. Devaney, Drillmaster, appointed Lieutenant April 10, 1924; Thomas F. Maloney, appointed Lieutenant July 4, 1929; George Gilfoil, appointed Lieutenant July 4, 1929; Jerome Costello, appointed Lieutenant January 9, 1930. All have served faithfully and well and are in every way qualified by experience for promotion. To fill the vacancies caused by these promotions I recommend the appointment of four lieutenants, whom after serving at least two years as such be promoted to the grade of Captain. These recommendations are for the best interests of the department and should promote greater efficiency. The Chief of the Department has received a petition from members of the Department respectfully requesting that he present to Selectmen their appeal for a higher standard of wages during the present emer- gency which will allow them to meet increased living costs. Their peti- tion states that members of the Department are now giving and will continue to give during this emergency one hundred per cent of their time, being on call and confined within the limits of the Town at all times. The petition meets with my approval. I have at all times favored a high wage, as well-paid employees are usually a contented group. I favor a wage commensurate with the hours of service they put in. Un- rest caused by high wages in industry is factor at this time. There is no overtime allowance for members of the fire department. For these reasons I recommend an increase in wages for 1942. At the close of the year two members of the department are on leave of absence to enter the government service, one in the postal service and one in essential defense work. Also at the close of the year the call-force has been reduced by one man, leaving but one lone sur- vivor of this time-honored organization. Arthur C. Bates, a call-man 96 since May 1, 1897, call Lieutenant since Oct. 1, 1918, resigned to take effect December 31, 1941. Mr. Bates was a tireless, efficient servant, who rendered service for the love of that service rather than for the re- muneration received. Bertram C. McElhiney Appointed Call-Man July 1, 1916 Permanent Man February 14, 1920 Died January 12, 1941 Bertram C. McElhiney served in the Armed Forces of The Country during the First World War. Retired on pension June 15, 1938. James Michael Carney Born Watertown, July 22, 1915 Appointed Permanent December 11, 1939 Died December 22, 1941 James Michael Carney passed on in the fullness of youth, a gentle- man at all times, always a willing worker, quiet in manner with a genial disposition. In general the department has made progress during the year. We have carried on a program of preparedness with much anxiety to find ourselves at the close of the year facing a Second World War with many veterans of the First World War on our roster again prepared, and we believe ready for any emergency. The members of the Department are showing renewed efforts, the encouragement given by all citizens in general is appreciated. To the Board of Selectmen, I extend my sincere thanks for your kind co-operation during the year. It has been most encouraging and I assure you it is appreciated by this body of public servants who are ready to give their all for the preservation of life and property of our citizens. Respectfully submitted, JOHN W. O'HEARN, Chief, Fire Department. 97 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS The Board of Assessors respectfully submit the annual report for the year 1941. Real estate had a valuation of $47,969,535.00, and personal property, $3,374,420.00. A decrease in real estate of $88,050.00 and an increase in personal estate of $86,890.00. There were 11,377 polls assessed. The Assessors expect a lower valuation in real estate in 1942, princi- pally because of the fact that the United States Government has taken over the Simmons Plant and other property, all of which will be exempt. The Assessors have tried several cases before the Appellate Tax Board and have been successful in sustaining their values. Taxpayers are reminded that applications for abatement must be filed with the Board on or before October 1st of the year in which the tax is assessed. The amount of your tax bill is controlled by the Town Meeting and not by the Assessors. We wish to express our appreciation to the various Town depart- ments and also to the personnel of the Assessors office for their cour- tesies and cooperation extended during the year. The following is a summary of the list of State and County taxes and valuations for the year 1941. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD F. WRIGHT, Chairman ANDREW D. BRADFORD JAMES J.

Board of Selectmen Administration Building Watertown, Mass. Gentlemen: In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town of Watertown, we herewith submit to you the annual report of the Board of Appeals for the year ending December 31, 1941. The Board of Appeals holds Hearings upon all applications for 99 permits duly filed with the Building Inspector as provided in the Water- town Zoning By-Laws and the new Building Laws on which: 1. An Appeal is taken to the Board of Appeals from the decision of the Building Inspector. 2. On all applications in which the Watertown Zoning By-Laws provide that no permit shall be issued by the Building Inspector except with the written approval of the Board of Appeals. Most of the hearings by the Board of Appeals are on applications for occupancy or variation from the terms of the Zoning By-Laws. Inasmuch as all decisions of the Board of Appeals must have the unanimous vote of the full Board, it is necessary that each hearing must be attended by all three members of the Board, unless substituted by one of the two Alternate members. We are proud to state that no Hearing so far has failed due to the lack of attendance of the full Board. In fact, at many Hearings not only the full Board is present but also one or both of the Alternate members. A word of praise is due to our faithful Building Inspector for his assistance to and co-operation with the Board, as well as for his un- failing attendance at each and every Hearing. At a Hearing of the Board, all parties are allowed to fully present their case. All evidence offered and arguments submitted are very carefully considered. In most cases a view of the premises is taken by either all or some of the members of the Board. All deliberations and decisions.of the Board are very carefully con- sidered, having always in mind the present and future welfare of the Town and its inhabitants as well as the interest of the applicant and his property. Due mainly to the vigilance and endeavor of our Building Inspector, applications for permits and therefore Appeals to this Board, are in- creasing yearly. In 1941, this Board received twenty-six applications as against thir- teen the previous year. Of the twenty-six applications, twenty-three have been heard and nineteen written decisions rendered. Due to some questions of law as to whether or not the Board has authority to grant certain variations, three decisions are still being held subject to an opinion by the Town Counsel. Fees received on all 1941 applications total $175.00. The Board obtained an appropriation of $300.00 for 1941. This amount has been expended as follows: Clerical $150.00, Printing 11.75 Brief case 6.00 Filing folders 2.00 Envelopes (20 55.68 Advertising (23 cases) 62.50 Total expended $287.93 Leaving an unexpended sum of $12.07.

The original surface had cracked and disintegrated causing a dangerous riding condition for automobile traffic, and it was deemed necessary to construct a new surface and eliminate excessive crown. We feel with this improvement we will get many years of service from these roads. Chapter 90 Expenditures Street From To Cost Watertown St. Galen St. Newton Line $39,607.96 102 During the year 1941 the Highway Department with Chapter 90 funds provided by the Town, State and County contructed Watertown Street from Galen Street to the Newton Line. This important road has been widened to a minimum of forty feet and a maximum of sixty feet, and is constructed of two and a quarter inch bituminous concrete; laid in two courses on a base of 4" B.M.A., and the foundation where necessary was replaced with from 61, to 121, of gravel. In constructing this major highway we have eliminated a very seri- ous traffic hazard, and have promoted the safe passage of vehicles from Watertown to Newton and distant points. We feel that the Town should continue to take advantage of Chap- ter 90 funds available by the State and County in the future as they have in the past.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSION January 22, 1942 To the Citizens of Watertown: The program of the Parks and Playgrounds has been one of con- tinued improvement, new playground equipment added, three new drink- ing fountains intalled, the heating system in the field house at Victory Field completed, new fencing erected at Victory Field and the tennis court at Victory Field enclosed with a twelve foot (12') fence. Periodic grading and consistent care has been given to all areas under the department. The playground at Bemis has been enlarged by the purchase of new land by the Town and named the Thomas F. Camp- bell Playground. The 1941 playground season proved to be successful and served approximately 400 children daily. The discontinuance of W. P. A. recreational facilities was easily overcome and its work readily absorbed by the Park Department instructors. A safety program was established and as a result there were no serious accidents during the entire year. All appointed instructors were competent and performed their duties well. The Board wishes to recommend a new fence to enclose the Thomas F. Campbell Playground and One Hundred sixty feet (160') of new fence to be erected at Arlington Street Playground and an additional three (3) men for twenty-six (26) weeks. The Commissioners wish to thank all the Town Departments for their cooperation in 1941. Respectfully submitted, HAROLD GODWIN, Chairman WAYNE EATON 106 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS The report of the Water Commissioners for the fifty-seventh year of municipal operation is as follows: During the year the principal items of laying of sand spun cast iron cement lined pipe were: 444 feet of 14" cement pipe renewed with 12" cast iron cement lined pipe on Green Street laid the first of the year. A W.P.A. project. 1705 feet of 12" cast iron cement lined pipe on Pleasant Street. This is to be a new supply from the Metropolitan water connection near the Waltham Line supplementing the old 14" cement pipe, to be laid from Green Street to the Waltham Line amounting to about 6000 feet of new pipe when finished. This is a W.P.A. project stopped at Waltham Street in the spring and started again in December of this year to continue on as far as possible. 304 feet of 8" cement pipe and old cast iron pipe renewed with 10" cement lined cast iron pipe on School Street from connection on Arsenal Street to Dexter Avenue. This has eliminated a bottle neck connection with the 12" main on Dexter Avenue serving a large manufacturing and thickly populated district. 56 feet of 2" pipe on Forest Street and 23 feet of 2" pipe on Middle Street replaced with 6" Cast Iron Cement Lined pipe connecting with 10" main on Main Street, giving a full supply to hydrant on ;Forest Street. 74 feet of 12" cast iron cement lined pipe on Galen Street con- necting the new 16" Metropolitan supply to Williams Street. 348 feet of new 8" pipe laid on Aldrich Road. 253 feet of new 6" pipe laid on Wayne Avenue from Warren Street to the Waltham Line. 79 feet of new 8" pipe laid on Acton Street. 48 feet of new 8" pipe on Highland Avenue. 22 feet of 6" pipe laid on Sheldon Road with a new hydrant pro- viding better fire protection to the Mt. Trinity Academy. 31 feet of 2" pipe on School Street (West) at Belmont Street. Old house connections to the number of 129 have been renewed. 74 new house connections have been laid. 5 new hydrants have been added and gated. Five broken hydrants have been replaced. The number of meters repaired and exchanged on house connections were 1082. 27 factory meters have been cleaned and repaired. This work necessitated working overtime on Saturdays and Sundays at a small expense which has been amply made up by the increased revenue from these meters. The closing of School Street by the Federal Government necessi- tated the re-routing of the 16" water main on North Beacon Street to Louise Street connecting with the Arsenal Street 10" water main. This work is being done by private contract, paid by the Federal Government as this Department does not have the facility to handle 16" pipe. The work is under the supervision of one of the Water Department foremen loaned to the contractor. We recommend for 1942 the replacing of 560 feet of old 8" cast iron pipe on School Street from Dexter Avenue to above Cypress Street with 10" cast iron cement lined pipe in order to insure a better supply of water for the thickly settled district served by this line. The new billing machine and equipment has been received and 107 set up and the quarterly billing system installed. Bills will now be issued four times a year instead of twice as formerly. Mr. Michael B. Oates has been appointed superintendent of the department after an examination held by the Civil Service Commission. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES ARMSTRONG, Chairman JOBN W.

It pleases me to report that the case load increase of this category of relief has experienced a new low as was predicted by me last year. For your information in 1938 the case load increase was 26%, in 1939 it was 23.02%, in 1940 it was 17.03% and this year it is only .015%. The cause of this can be laid to the fact that our mortality rate will continue to increase and at the same time the benefits received by aged people through the medium of Old Age Insurance will tend to relieve the pressure from this Department. We have also been fortunate in having a number of our clients secure employment in private industry and business due to our national emergency. It pleases me further to report that we have been able to save $64.32 in the disbursement of monies expended in 1941. The total of my pay- rolls for the year has been $157,567.70 in direct payments to the clientel, $2,409.79 to other cities and towns for aid granted Watertown Settled cases residing outside of Watertown making a total of $159,977.49. We have check cancellations in the amount of $1,208.08 and reimbursements to the Town of $412.00 totaling $1,624.08. This amount deducted from the total payrolls gives us $158,353.41 which represents the actual money spent of which the Town's share was approximately $28,277.00. In the expenditure of this money 536 persons have been aided at a per capita cost of $28.83 per case per month as compared to $28.84 the per capita cost of 1940 which shows a net gain of .01 per case per month. On the following page you will kindly note the comparison of the per capita cost month by month for the years 1940 and 1941. JOSEPH F.

Upon computing my per capita costs in this Department I find that we have experienced a further saving over the year 1940. The cost per case this year was $70.51 as compared to $7323 in 1940. This represents a total saving of $2,68320. That you may be guided regarding the .manner in which the Town receives its grants and reimbursements from the State and Federal Gov- ernments I am inserting the following: "On Aid to Dependent Children cases the Federal Government re- imburses- one-half 'up to $18.00 for the first child and one-half up to $12.00 for each additional child in the family. The State Department reimburses one-third of the total amount of assistance given to each family. In former years the Federal Government only reimbursed.one- third up to $18.00 for the first child and one-third up to $12.00 for each additional child in the family. This new ruling is naturally beneficial to the'town as you can readily see, and it is to the advantage of the Town to give assistance under this Statute whenever possible." From the following budget kindly note the comparison of the per capita costs month by month for the years 1940 and 1941. JOSEPH F.

In School Committee: Voted: That the report of the Superinten- dent of Schools be accepted and adopted as the annual report of the School Committee of the Town. G. JOHN GREGORY, Secretary. 115 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Since the School Committee has voted to adopt the report of the Superintendent of Schools as the annual report of the Committee to the Town, it does not seem to me that I should attempt to enlarge upon that report. The membership of the School Committee was changed very little as the result of the election in March of 1941. Therefore, we had an opportunity to continue the policies instituted more than a year ago looking toward the improvement of our school system generally. We have continued the practise of economy wherever possible without loss of efficiency and effectiveness. We have endeavored to stimulate a desire for personal improvement among our teachers and no new teachers have been employed in the system without careful selection. Every new appointee has had a meritorious record in educational preparation and satisfactory teaching experience. Your Committee has attempted to unify grades and practises throughout the Town. During the year, several courses of study have been adopted for the first time in our system and committees are now at work preparing in other subjects courses of study to be adopted in the near future. The present state of war proves the foresight of your Committee in adopting and instituting military science and tactics as a required subject for boys in our Senior High School. We are confident that in the long run it will prove more beneficial to our boys than the old system of physical education. As a matter of fact, it now does for boys physically everything that the old system could have done. In addition, there is a purpose and direction in it that was lacking in the former system. The members of your Committee have worked together in harmony and with very little difference of opinion on any occasion. Every mem- ber of the Committee has sacrificed time and energy freely and willingly for the benefit of the School Department. The members of the School Committee individually hereby express their thanks to the Superintendent of Schools, the various principals and heads of departments, the teachers *and other employees of the system for their continued co-operation and sincere efforts to assist the members of the Committee in the performance of their duties. It has been a pleasure for every member of this Committee to have had an opportunity to be of service to the Town. ~SCHOOL COMlVii.L 1 M.M. Earle S. Tyler Chairman REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT To the Chairman and Members of the Watertown School Committee: I have the honor to submit herewith my_ third annual report of the schools of Watertown, which is the sixty-first in the series of annual reports of the Superintendent of the Watertown Public Schools. This report includes a summary of the progress made during the past year, together with other phases of the school system which should be of public interest. The appendix to this report includes the financial 116 statement for the fiscal year of nineteen hundred forty-one, and statis- tical data taken from the School Returns of the State Department of Education. Course of Study During this year the elementary arithmetic, health, science and English committees have completed their work. Space in this report prohibits the printing of all courses which have been approved, but the following Language Course in English for Grade III is a sample of the material which has been so carefully prepared by the members of our faculties who have worked and studied so diligently on these projects during the past two years. LANGUAGE COURSE—ENGLISH—GRADE III To the Teachers: As the Committee Members of the Language Course worked carefully and thoughtfully upon the many topics in the field they became fully aware of the broad areas into which English reaches. As several mem- bers have said, and we have all agreed, every classroom situation is an English situation. Children are either speaking, writing, listening, or reading much of the school day. Improvement, therefore, in the English arts must be sought in all the studies and activities throughout the school day. The Committee has not only concerned itself with the utilitarian aspects of language—what the child actually needs to know and what daily living demands in correct English, but it has given much atten- tion to the cultural side of English. The stressiW, of the sentence sense, correct usage, certain technicalities, and grammar are examples of English fundamentals; while poetry appreciation, vocabulary enrich- ment, and social letters are examples of the cultural phase of English. The Committee in its final summation of the whole English field be- lieves, as many authorities do, that correctness in this field is real culture. The Committee is of the opinion that every good teacher will survey the English abilities of her class in September and October and win plan to adjust her teaching to the needs of her class. It is not difficult to evaluate the powers of a class in sentence sense (oral and written), paragraph form,.correct usage, technicalities, and vocabulary growth. When this is once done the teaching should be purposeful, definite in aim, and fruitful in results.- The Committee is also firmly convinced that in the Elementary School complete mastery of all English techniques is not expected by intelligent educators. However, we feel that the following goals should be stressed over and over again by every teacher in every grade: 1. Establishment of the sentence sense in oral and written work 2. Repeated emphasis on correct speech forms 3. Enrichment and growth in vocabulary power 4. Definite training in listening habits 5. Establishment of a spelling consciousness 6. Mastery of common technicalities 7. Development of a good speaking voice A course of study is only a guide to the good teacher. This course is designed to be such a guide. Teachers must take into consideration the wide range of differences in children's interests and capacities. Each-teacher will not be able to do everything suggested here, but it is 117 hoped that she will adequately cover the essentials in English. To those teachers interested in so-called "unit" work there is ample suggested material, as well as enrichment goals for capable children. It is suggested that the principal in each building decide upon a uniform heading of papers for various grades and that the size and spacing of paper used in each grade be made uniform. Gene E.

Introduction Good posture and attention to voice, enuncia- tion, and pronunciation belong not only to the composition period, but to every period. No day should pass in which the teacher does not give some attention to the correct pronun- ciation and enunciation of troublesome words, especially in the primary grades. Drills should be of short duration, particularly at first, and should be supplemented with games whenever possible. b. List of forms to be stressed (all grades) 1. Words ending "d" and "t" (cold, kept) *Stress particularly "t" ending before a word beginning with "y", as "what you", "eight years." 2.

Get your hat not getcherhat The teacher should listen to children outside the classroom to get suggestions for further corrective work. c.

(He answers and calls on another pupil) For "Let me" (similar to above) First pupil asks to borrow an object from another. using "Let me." Second child agrees to, and uses "let me" in an- swer. Teacher should work for a pleasing tone of voice, as far as time allows. This can be done by setting a good example herself, and by praising pupils who have good tone quality in their everyday speech. C. Written Composition 1. Specific Aims: a.

After careful consideration two excellent, good, and fair paragraphs were selected. In such a selection every elementary school was represented thus giving a wide variety of subjects and present grade achievement. You will note that there are errors here and there as the paragraphs were typed as submitted. Excellent Stung One summer day, I went hunting butterflies. I had a green net that I wished to catch them with. I was chasing two butterflies when I met up with a hornet's nest. The hornets stung my arms, legs, and face. I never went after butterflies again. Spring Spring is here! Spring is here! sings the wind. Mother Nature is awakening the flower fairies. She is calling the birds from the South. She is giving the grass a new coat of green paint and the sky a new coat of blue. If you listen with keen ears you will hear the wind singing, Spring is here! Good A Surprise On Christmas I had a big surprise. There was a huge box under my tree. My big sister, Mildred, left it for me. It was a drum. This surprise made me happy. My Wish If I had a magical whistle I would wish that all the wars would stop. We would be in peace. All the earth would be happy. Fair The Robin Monday while I was coming to school I saw a robin. He was making a nest up in a tree. It was made of straw and twigs. Roller Skating Yesterday I went roller skating. I keep falling down. The lady next door said I was a good skater. But I don't think so. D. Vocabulary building or language enrichment. Vocabulary building does not just happen. All teachers should encourage the building of a broad and discriminating vocabu- lary. Many opportunities arise in the course of a school da? when one or two new words might be made the pupil's own. Vocabulary increase results from: 1. Extensive reading 2. The teacher as an excellent example by the richness of her own vocabulary 3. A real desire to add to one's vocabulary 4. (Dictionary study-upper grades) 5. Class conversation about many things 6. Story telling 7. Reading activities 8. Poem study 9. Acquaintance with a retention of subject vocabularies as in social studies, arithmetic, health, science, and spelling 10. Posters 122 11. Listing words in sound families 12. Direct teaching of new words to fit a new situation 13. Dramatization 14. Spelling words 15. Suggested devices to increase vocabulary for primary children a. Have children list words that begin with 1, m, g, or other letters in the alphabet. Use endings also er, est, ing. b. Have children list names of animals that they know and the sounds they make as: dog—barks—growls—whines—yelps cat--purrs—sings—growls hen—cackles—clucks horse—neighs—stamps (action words) c. Make lists of many kinds of things with words which describe what they do as: train—whistles—chugs bird—sings—whistles—calls bell—rings—buzzes—tolls squirrel—chatters—scolds lion—roars—pounces (action words) d. Have children list words which describe Christmas a farm Santa Claus a rainy day snowstorm an apple clouds a sled stars a circus trees a game (aim: to build a word picture) e.

Have children name: All the colors they know All the trees All the vegetables they know All the fruits they know All the flowers they know All the birds they know All the kinds of cloth they know h. Have children list words they like to hear and say (favorite words) 123 1. Have children list words to describe a little Dutch girl, an Indian boy, a Scotch boy, a Chinese girl. J. Have children list words which describe a good Francis citizen, or Browne citizen, or Coolidge citizen. (Emphasis on citizenship qualities) k. Making little words from big words: Washington, Thanksgiving, Mississippi. 1. Listing words to describe a picture. (Selection of such pictures should be skilfully made.) m. Words that rhyme. n. . Matching opposites cold-hot, winter-summer. o. Matching like words. (In above suggestions not only is the aim to enrich vo- cabulary with new words but there is a motive to cor- relate such work with present and future oral and writ- ten composition, social studies, and citizenship within the school.) E. Technicalities 1. Capitalization a. Review (1) Capital at beginning of sentence (2) The word "I" (3) Days of week, months, holidays (4) Names of persons, initials (5) Name of school b. New work (1) Name of town, state (2) First word of every line of poetry (3) First and important words of titles of composition (4) In letter form 2. Punctuation a. Review (1) Period at close of sentence (2) After abbreviations (3) Question mark b. New work—Apostrophe in simple contractions 3. Indentation a. Paragraph form insisted on in written work 4. Note: If children wish to use other words with capitals teacher will help them as need arises. F. Poems for Appreciation Teaching of Poetry Appreciation 1. General Aims: To open a door to the beauty of thought expressed in rhythm. It is as impossible to provide a out and dried outline in poetry, as it would be to control the experiences and emotions of those who compose it. Hence—great freedom should be felt both by those teach- ing and those receiving inspirational thought expressed in verse. Circumstances—environment—personality all enter into choices. The following may prove aids to this appreciation. a. Read aloud as often as possible the poems that your grade would enjoy. Continued hearing of the best usually brings results—that is—appreciation of best. 124 b. Never force memorizing. Let the class decide as to the ones they wish to make their own. c. Keep an open mind for correlation with other subjects. d. Have an occasional Poetry Hour, allowing children to bring in their own selections. Milne, is a favor- ite with all grades. e. Try to open the way to creative poetry, by receiv- ing kindly dny attempts and reading aloud to class the ones of real worth. Note: The lists of poems designated for grades is merely suggestive. Those selected are in the main, poems which time has proven of lasting worth. The vital teacher is left free to add or subtract from the lists—always being alert to current selections, found in newspapers and magazines, or in books of modern verse. 2.

Letter Writing The letter is the only kind of composition that every child will have to write after he leaves school. For that reason the school should give much practice in letter writing. The form, or arrangement, of the letter is a matter wholly separate from the writing of the letter itself. It is a matter of pure technique and should be taken up as such. It should be taught through the medium of the copying lesson, calling atten- tion to every item of punctuation and capitalization. So far as it is possible, the letters written in school should be real letters to real people. Children should be taught to appreciate the cultural value of letter writing in relation to social situations such as invitations and thank you notes. Letters A letter is a gypsy elf. It goes where I would go myself. East or West or North, it goes, Or South past pretty bungalows, Over mountain, over hill, Any place it must and will. It finds good friends that live so far You cannot travel where they are. Annette Wynne. Letter Form 364 Main Street Watertown, Mass.

Row, Peterson & Company 1941 Trade School In June the Chairman of your Committee appointed Mr. Gregory, Mr. Berry and your superintendent as a committee to make a study of the advisability of establishing a State-Aided Trade or Vocational High School in Watertown. The following is a report of progress on our find- ings. In our Industrial Arts Courses at the Senior high School the pres- ent enrollment is 260 boys. In our three-year course each boy is given instruction in printing, sheet metal, machine shop, woodworking and electricity. In Grade Ten each boy takes two periods of work per week in each of the five courses. In Grade Eleven he makes a choice of any two, for four periods each, per week. In his Senior year he elects one of the two courses taken in Grade Eleven for eight periods per week. Thus in this three-year course a boy is given a general training in four trades and an opportunity to study a total of fourteen periods per week in the fifth trade. In each of the three years the student has twb periods per week of mechanical drawing. In 1941 the salaries of six teachers, including five shop and one mechanical drawing teacher totaled $14,900. The cost for material was $1100., making a total of $16,000 or an average of $3200. per shop for trade instruction. Academic and related instructions not given in the shop require three teachers at approximately $7000. This brings the total cost to approximately $23,000., which is approximately $4600., per shop, without figuring the cost for janitorial and clerical services, fuel, power, etc. Our shop inventory and teacher qualifications have been presented to the State Department of Education. A final report has not been re- ceived, but from conferences with representatives of the department it seems that the equipment, with the exception of the printing shop, appears to be satisfactory, if a few additional machines could be pro- vided. The purchase of any additional equipment at this time presents a serious problem. All of our teachers would qualify either for shop instructors or teachers of related shop work. The 1941 appropriation for Trade Schools for tuition of pupils who attended school out of Town amounted to $13,000, of which one half is repaid to the Town Treasury. Since the present emergency the number of Watertown pupils in Trade School has dropped. There are two reasons for this, the older boys have gone to work and the Trade Schools now require non-resident pupils to complete the ninth grade before 129 being admitted to the Trade School. Previously, pupils completing grade eight were admitted. As a result of the decrease in Trade School en- rollment, our appropriation for 1942 will be about $4000. less than our 1941 expenditure. It must be understood that the establishment of a Trade School in Watertown would not eliminate entirely our appropriation for outside Trade Schools because some of our boys are taking courses which we could not offer without the expenditure of a large amount of money to equip shops for auto mechanics, plumbing, radio, airplane mechanics, and agriculture. On the other hand, it must be pointed out that many of the pupils now in our industrial arts class would not qualify for Trade School, thereby requiring the continuance of a general shop course for these boys. Several Trade Schools have been visited by your superintendent since September. Since the average cost per shop varies in the several schools, further study must be made before an estimate of the cost of establishing such a school in Watertown can be given. The study will continue during this school year. Senior High School In September the school year opened with an enrollment of 1343 pupils. It is very evident that the numerous defense jobs have called to employment many of the boys of the school. Our decrease in enroll- ment of 95 pupils, mostly boys is in a large measure due to the many well paying jobs in defense work. We received one resignation at the High School, a member of the Commercial Department, Miss Rena Keay, having accepted a promotion to the department headship of a school in Vermont. To take her place, Mr. Douglas Chandler was appointed as a teacher and head of the Com- mercial Department. Mr. Chandler comes to our faculty with a wealth of professional study and training as well as nine years of teaching experience at a business college. He is filling the long felt need in the faculty, since the retirement of Miss Agnes Semple two years ago. The Department of Military Science and Tactics is under the direc- tion of Lieutenant Arthur McGrath. He comes to us from a four-year military training course at Norwich University and has his Master's degree in Education from Boston University. Under his instruction the military department is progressing very satisfactorily. Retirements In June three teachers, whose length of service made an aggregate seventy-six years in our school system, retired. Miss Lucy Dyer Reed came to Watertown on September 6, 1911, having previously taught in Woodstock, Conn., for three years. Before the establishment of the Junior High School she was a special teacher of cooking and since 1923 has been the cooking teacher at the West Junior High School. Miss Lurena M. Ranney began her services in Watertown on Sep- tember 8, 1913. She had previous experience in Alabama, New Hamp- shire, Norwood and Quincy, Massachusetts. Miss Ranney taught Grade VIII at the Hosmer School until 1922 at which time she transferred to the newly established East Junior High School as a teacher of Latin. Mrs. Mary E. O'Neil was appointed a permanent teacher on Sep- tember 12, 1923. Mrs. O'Neil taught at the Grant School until 1929 when she was transferred to teach Grade VII at the West Junior High School. Mrs. Susan Harding was appointed a school nurse in May 1921. Mrs. Harding was a graduate of the Chelsea Memorial Hospital. Her 130 previous experience was with the Hood Rubber Company and the Water- town District Nursing. Civilian Defense The school department has cooperated .with the Civilian Defense Committee and the American Red Cross in preparing for the war emer- gency. Early in the summer a room was set aside in the Phillips School for the local Red Cross Chapter, where sewing, knitting and other first aid preparations have been carried on by the ladies of the Town. The employees of the department signed up one hundred per cent for defense activities and already eighty women teachers have enrolled in Red Cross First Aid Courses. Although the activities of the school employees shall be primarily concerned with the problems of caring for the safety of the young and the developing of wholesome community morale, many of our employees have volunteered for defense activities as air raid wardens and for duty at the Report Center. Plans have been made for the protection and safety of the pupils having in mind the dismissal of pupils to their homes in case of an advance air raid warning and for caring for them comfortably in the safest parts of the school buildings in the event of a sudden and unex- pected air raid. Placement and Guidance This year has witnessed a sharp increase in employment with the corresponding demands on the placement service operated by our Guid- ance Department since 1939. It is fortunate that we were organized for such a situation and are able to bring our graduates and former stu- dents into direct contact with so many excellent employment oppor- tunities. Our service aims to be selective to the degree of seeking suitable candidates for vacancies rather than to merely filling jobs. This is in keeping with the basic aim of vocational guidance namely, helping the individual to choose, train for, and enter upon an occupation suitable to his interest and aptitudes. That the service is appreciated by both students and employers alike is evident from the many comments re- ceived and the frequency with which business concerns make use of it. (See Table X in Appendix.) The Occupational Conference program and the College Conference program, which proved so helpful the previous year, were again con- ducted this year. Twenty-seven different occupations were presented to the students by experts in their respective fields at the Occupational Conference. For the College Conference, twenty New England institu- tions were represented by former Watertown High School graduates who attended or were in attendance at college. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the principals, teachers, supervisors, janitors and other employees who have labored so diligently for the educational welfare of the children of Watertown, I also wish to thank the members of the other town departments and the citizens who have cooperated with the School Department during the past year. Lastly, I wish to express my appreciation to the members of the School Committee for their helpful assistance and support in the forma- tion of progressive educational policies.

The year 1941 was a particularly active one for the Library Trustees. The remodeling of the North Branch was the absorbing interest of the building committee of the Trustees for the entire summer and fall. Hardly a day passed that our Librarian, Miss Masters, and at least one. member of the committee did not visit the North Branch and keep a watchful eye on all developments there. This project brought discour- agements and gratifications, until at last on the first Sunday in Novem- ber we were pleased to invite the public to the gala open house. Visitors from all parts of the town came that day and expressed their delight in the new building, for it certainly has the appearance of being an entirely new building. It is, indeed, an asset to that part of Watertown and we feel sure that it is greatly appreciated. An innovation in the Library program this winter has been the opportunity offered the public to become better acquainted with the Library, its service and the staff. On the second Sunday afternoon of each month the Trustees are presenting one or more speakers on a subject of timely interest. These talks have been followed by discussion periods which have been lively and helpful. Each afternoon there is on exhibit books, new and not so new, pertaining to the subject of the afternoon. The staff has acted as hostesses, ready to give information about these books or about any phase of the Library service. We hope that more and more people will avail themselves of the opportunity to really get acquainted. In June it was the privilege of some of the Trustees to attend the annual Convention of the American Library Association which was.held in Boston. This was a revealing experience and it was thrilling to real- ize the vast opportunities- and privileges open to the American people to-day through their Public Library systems. BERNICE L. CAMPBELL, Chairman Board of Library Trustees. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN To the Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library Ladies and Gentlemen: I have the honor of submitting to you the 74th"report of this library. The year that I became a member of the library staff the nation was ringing with the call "Remember the Maine". In 1917, when as Libra- rian I wrote my first.annual report, our country had entered the first world war and we were in the midst of a drive for books for the soldiers and were having exhibits and demonstrations on food conservation. Now as I write my 25th report our country is again engaged in a world conflict and one that vitally concerns libraries and the freedom of expression through the printed word. Naturally because the present conflict has been going on for three years, the trend 'in book publishing has already changed. Books on government, ideologies, 'technical arts and war experiences are taking the place of books of travel, biography and the arts of peace time. From the schools the call comes for books on Iceland, South America, Asia and the various social studies. War news, increased employment, national and civil defense, Red Cross activities and knitting have all been reflected in the circulation figures but the number of persons regis- 140 tered as borrowers has not changed materially. Borrowers do not find the time to read as many books as formally yet the records show that a little over 10 books per capita were issued during the year. The total circulation was 358,915 which was a loss of 10 per cent from 1940. This is a widespread condition and will without doubt be followed by a post war increase similar to that of 1918 to 1922 when the circulation jumped up 57 per cent in five years. For the circulation by libraries and departments I refer you to the itemized statistics but I wish to call attention to the fact that there has been but slight change in the percentage of use in the various classes of books from that of 1940. There was a slight drop in the use of fiction, biography and travel, with an increase in history, government, technical books and, strangely, an increase in the use of music and the fine arts. There was an increase in the circulation at the schools and also at the West Branch which is connected with a school building. Classes have come from the schools to the various libraries for instruction in the use of a library and story hours have been held as usual. During the year members of the staff have given eight book talks to different organizations. During the year we have purchased 4,013 books from the appropria- tion and funds and have received 312 as gifts. There have been 1,853 books rebound. There were 1,835 books discarded and 393 have been lost in circulation or from the shelves. This brings the present book stock to 91,799 volumes. Many of these books are now out of date and should be discarded and I hope that some of this work can be done during the coming year, thereby making room for recent purchases. During the year $1,457.31 was collected in fines and turned over to the Town Treasurer. Through the inter-library loan system the library has borrowed 98 books and 57 volumes have been loaned. Our thanks are due to the co-operating libraries and to the donors of many books and periodicals. The year 1917 is memorable for a happier event for in that year a branch library was established in East Watertown. From the first this branch has been a successful venture, justifying each step of its progress from a small branch in rented quarters to its present status as a center of activities in that end of the Town. This year we have opened the library at 10 A. M. instead of 1 P. M. and the adults have expressed their satisfaction in this extention of hours. Various classes and the Antique Club have met there in the evening and the latter has shown its appreciation by presenting the Library with several art books. The bright spot of 1941 was the transformation wrought in our North Branch when "the ugly duckling" of our library buildings was changed into a thing of beauty, both inside and out. After the grading and planting is done, in the spring, our North Branch should be an asset to that section of the town both as a reading centre and a beauty spot. Except for some increase in the cost of lighting I do not antici- pate any immediate increase in the cost of administration. In spite of increasing the number of hours that the branch is open I hope that the present staff, with the addition of some part-time help, will suffice. I feel especially grateful that we were allowed to carry through this project before the stringent restrictions on building went into force. An interesting experiment, begun this fall, is the opening of either the Main Library or the East Branch on the second Sunday of each month. On these afternoons, in addition to a speaker, exhibits of books and other material on the subject of the afternoon are displayed. The following program for the winter has been arranged: 141 November 9, Some of the New Books for Adults, Edna C. Peck, of the Boston Public Library; Highlights among the New Books for Chil- dren, Mrs. Florence Sloan, of the Newton Free Library. December 14, Our Civilian Defense, H. Herbert Applin and Ralph E. Wellings. January 11, Education for Democracy, Prof. John J. Mahoney, of Boston University, February 8, Watertown Industries, Past, Present and Future, Alfred A. Glidden. March 8, Your Health in Wartime, Dr. Florence L. Meredith; A Few Points on Pirst Aid, Dr. Alice M. Broadhurst. April 12, Color in American Gardens (with slides) Harold C. Everett. (This talk will be given in the evening) Some time in the future the roof at the East Branch should be insulated for the comfort of the borrowers and the staff. Perhaps insulation would be a safeguard if there should be a raid in which incendiary bombs were used. We have in other years asked, unsuccess- fully, for an oil burner for the East Branch. At present it may be wise to have one library building heated by coal. The price of binding has already advanced ten percent. The price of books will undoubtedly be advanced and in addition the quality of paper on which they are printed will probably be of an inferior quality which will not stand hard usage. The costs of library supplies, most of which are made of paper stock, are going up and have not reached their peak. We will have to adapt ourselves to changing conditions. Necessary precautions have been taken in all the library buildings to guard against fire if there should be an air raid and we have made arrangements for blackouts and caring for people who may be in the buildings. Most of the staff members have registered for part-time work, two members have taken the air-raid warden course and all are receiving instructions in first-aid. We expect to have a first-aid kit in each library. From the Pierce Fund small radios have been purchased for each building. Repeating our experience of 1917-1918 we are again embarked on a drive for reading matter for the soldiers, sailors and marines. I have been appointed Chairman of the Watertown campaign and am receiving enthusiastic support from the various organizations and individuals who have been asked to assist in the work. There is a deposit of books from the Library in the headquarters of the men on military duty in Watertown and one of the men has been assigned to have charge of of them. As we collected over 2,300 books in 1917 we should collect an even larger amount. this time. We have had but few changes on the staff during the year. Miss Norton, who was in charge of work with children at the North Branch, was married in July and resigned in September. Miss Elizabeth M. Dennis, Simmons 1939, who had two years of experience in the New York Public Library, was appointed to fill this vacancy. In February—John Cannon, our East Branch janitor was called to service and Sydney E. Horner became his military substitute. In November Mr. Horner was appointed as a teacher in a school for defense trades and was succeeded by Gifton M. Wilber. The meeting of the American Library Association, held in Boston during the last week of June, gave the members of the staff the oppor- tunity to participate in a meeting of the national association. They have also attended sessions of the State Association, the local Charles River Library Club and the Round Table of Children's Librarians. The majority of the staff are taking one or more courses on a variety of 142 subjects. Much of the success of a library rests upon the staff and I wish to commend the good work of my assistants and to report to you that I have received many expressions of appreciation of their attitude toward the people they serve.

The financial condition of the Town is in excellent condition. The Town Debt on January 1st, 1942 is the lowest it has been since January 1st, 1918 and the debt service for the year 1942 the lowest since 1924. Uncollected taxes and tax titles have also reached a new low. Motor Vehicle Excises committed during the year 1941 totalled $93,314.09, the largest sum ever committed to a Collector, yet, on December 31st, there was only $2,155.18 uncollected. On the opposite page I show a table in the "MOVEMENT OF TOWN DEBT FOR r-jx-jLzziv YEARS": Due to the fact that we can expect emergencies to arise during the coming year, which may need quick action, I recommend that the Town appropriate the sum of $25,000 for the Reserve Fund in place of the sum of $10,000 usually appropriated at the Annual Meeting. This money is placed in the hands of the Finance Committee and while no direct drafts can be made on the account, the Finance Committee can transfer from this account to any other account in the budget a sum of money for unforeseen expenditures. I also recommend that a sum of $1,000 be included in the budget for out-of-state travel, said sum to be placed in the hands of the Select- men. Often an occasion arises when an official should go out of the state on business for the Town and if the money is not specifically appropriated for such a purpose, the expenses cannot be paid by the Town. Recently such a case happened and because the official did not see his way clear to advance his own money, he was unable to attend the meeting and the Town of Watertown suffered. We should be looking forward to machine accounting. I feel certain that the Division of Accounts will some day make it obligatory for the Town to install such a system and while it would be practically impos- sible to purchase machines at the present time, still we should be pre- pared when the time comes that they are available. The various funds in charge of the Town Treasurer belonging to the Trustees of the Public Library have been examined and found correct. I have certified the cash of the Town Treasurer and Tax Collector and found it correct. Periodical examinations of the Tax Collector's outstanding accounts have been made and checked against the Controlling Accounts in my office. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM W.

HOLDSWORTH 65 Barnard Avenue SAMUEL K. TARBELL 18 Avon Road LAWRENCE J. WALSH 724 Mt. Auburn Street 259 Report of the Finance Committee To the Citizens of Watertown: The Finance Committee herewith submits its report containing recommendations to the Annual Town Meeting, on the several requests for appropriations submitted by the Town Officials and Department Heads. The recommendations contained herein, have been made only after a full discussion and realization of what is actually necessary to prop- erly conduct the various Town Departments. This year we were presented with a budget of $2,316,960. We have recommended $2,217,970. Borrowings The Finance Committee advises no borrowings; it recommends the pay-as-you-go policy. , Salaries The Finance Committee recommends that the report of the Special Committee on Clerks' Salaries of the Town, as adopted and approved at the Town Meeting, May 1937, be maintained; and we have disap- proved any increases above the maximum amounts adopted by the Town Meeting. Labor The Finance Committee is much concerned with the question of pay for labor of the town. After a serious discussion with the Town Officials and Department Heads, we have recommended appropriations so that all town labor will receive the same base rate of pay for a forty hour week; we have also taken into consideration the necessity of some overtime caused by unforeseen emergelScies. Personnel The Finance Committee has had several requests for appropriations for salaries for additional clerks in various departments. Your Finance Committee has given careful study to this and has recommended ap- propriations for additional personnel in the Welfare, and Old Age and Dependent Children Section of Welfare, also in Soldiers' Relief, be- lieving that this increased personnel will result in economy and savings to the Town. New Equipment The Finance Committee has had several requests for appropriations for new equipment. Your Committee has investigated the needs of such equipment and has recommended appropriations for new equip- ment for the Water Department. In 1940, the Town adopted the report of the Motor Equipment Committee, for the Highway Department, in the sum of $43,000. Again this year the Highway Department has asked for three new trucks. Your Finance Committee has recommended no appropriation in the belief that the motor trucks in the W.P.A. Department, can be used when not in use on W.P.A. work. This also is our reason for declining to recommend the purchase of a new truck for the Park Department. W.P.A. During the year 1940, the Federal Government paid to W.P.A. Labor of Watertown citizens, the sum of $421,000. and in 1940 the Town appropriated $100,000. for materials and $20,000. for salary for Adminis- tration and Operation. Our investigation with the Board of Selectmen, and with the W. P.A. Sponsor, developed the fact that the Board and the Sponsor were 260 unable to state what might happen to W.P.A. in 1941, and as projects have been approved for nearly $600,000. by the Federal Government, your Finance Committee reasoned that appropriations should be made to carry on W. P. A. for the year, and recommends an appropriation of $70,000. for materials, the said amount to be transferred from the Excess and Deficiency Account to W.P.A. Materials, and that the sum of $4,566. and $15,000. for Administration and Operation, respectively, should be recommended and that the amounts be levied upon the Polls and Estates of the Town. Public Works This Department spends a large amount of money, and for the first time in years, a break-down has been presented to the Finance Committee for operating costs, maintenance and labor. After an exten- sive study, the Finance Committee has made the recommendations as shown in the Budget. Bingham Report A committee was appointed by the Moderator in 1940, to study the Bingham Report and to report back to the Town at an early date. The Finance Committee recommends to the Bingham Committee that a study be made of the garaging of -all town cars in the Municipal Garage, and also recommends that a study be made to set up an account for the Municipal Garage so that the citizens of the town may know exactly what it is costing to operate the Municipal Garage. Public Library Article 19 in the Warrant, calls for the appropriation of $19,750. to pay the cost of remodeling the North Branch Library. The Finance Committee is convinced that the remodeling should be done, but feels that the amount of money requested should not be assessed upon the Polls and Estates of the town. We therefore recom- mend no appropriation. We have requested the Board of Selectmen to petition the Legis- lature for an Enabling Act to authorize the transfer of money from the sale of the old Town Hall Account to be used to remodel the North Branch Library. If this Enabling Act is passed before the Town Meeting of March 24, we recommend that a special Town Meeting be advertised, five days prior to March 24, so that the Special Town Meeting can be held immediately after the Annual Town Meeting. Playground for Bemis District Article 25 of the Warrant is a request for an appropriation for the purchase of five lots of land on Buick Street, adjacent to the so-called Bemis Playground. Your Finance Committee recommends that these five lots be pur- chased at a price not exceeding $2,500. for the five lots or taken by eminent domain by the Town. Your Committee believes that these additional lots are needed for the welfare and well being of, and for the use of the Bemis District. Welfare Welfare is still one of our pressing problems, although some employ- ables have been absorbed in the increased National Defense Programs. In all of our discussions and suggestions, we have taken a long- range view as evidenced by our personnel recommendations. We have had uppermost in mind, an ever increasing improvement in direction and distribution to the end that we may fairly meet the still urgent 261 need. The security, comfort, and health of all are involved in the adequate handling of this vital problem. We know that the Stamp Plan, if and when adopted, will increase the quantity in distribution and it is our hope that it will increase the efficiency. Inter-Departmental Co-operation The Finance Committee recommends that there should be a closer cooperation particularly between the Water Department and the High- way Department in the opening of the streets of the town, so that dupli- cation of work can be avoided. Conclusion The Finance Committee desires to thank the Town Officials, Depart- ment Heads, for their co-operation in our study of the requirements of the Budget. The Town of Watertown is in good financial condition, having an excellent credit standing, and we again impress upon the citizens of the Town, the need of concerted action and co-operation between offi- cials, department heads, and the citizens. The Finance Committee has had an excellent attendance at its meetings and the sub-committees have given careful consideration and attention to the studies of the departments assigned to them. I have enjoyed presiding over the meetings and the delibrations of the Committee, and want to personally thank all members for their splendid support, co-operation and assistance. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD C. WEBSTER, Chairman. Voted: That the Report of the Chairman of the Finance Commit- tee be adopted as the Report of the Committee. ROY C.

Honorable Board of Selectmen Administration Building Watertown, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit my report for the period beginning March 5, 1941, the date of my appointment, and ending December 31, 1941. Of the ten tort cases reported as pending in the Middlesex Supe- rior Court in the report of my predecessor Wilfred J. Paquet, Esquire, for the year 1940 I have disposed of the following seven: 1. Owen Hannon vs. John P. Condon Corp. Case tried. Judgment recovered for the Town in the sum of $2,250.00 and amount col- lected. 2. Frank Spakowski vs. Town. Action of tort to recover $10,000.00 for personal injuries. 3. Giles A. Laughrea vs. Town. Action of tort to recover $4,000.00 for consequential damages and property damage. 4. Irene Laughrea vs. Town. Action of tort to recover $4,000.00 for personal injuries. Nos. 2, 3 and 4 were tried together with other companion cases and arose out of an automobile collision which was alleged to have been caused by the defective condition of a public way. After several days of trial both Laughrea cases were settled for a total of $50.00 and the Spakowski case was settled for $50.00 5. Town vs. John C. Carter. This was an action brought by the Town to recover for damage done to one of its trucks. The sum of $40.00 was accepted by agreement in full settlement and the case was closed. 6. Anne Sefton vs. Town. Action to recover $2,500.00 for personal injuries resulting from defective condition of public way. Settled for $175.00 and case closed. 7. Mary A. Morgan vs. Town. Action to recover $3,000 for personal injuries resulting from defective condition of sidewalk; settled for $250.00 The following contract actions pending in the Superior Court for Middlesex and Suffolk Counties when I assumed office have been disposed of: 1. City of Boston vs. Town of Watertown (2 cases) Suffolk Superior Court. Town of Watertown vs. City of Boston (2 cases) Middle- sex Superior Court. These four cases were closed by agreements for judgment. They related to welfare aid given by the City of Boston and by the Town of Watertown to persons whose settle- ments were disputed either by the Town or by the City. All the disputed settlements, except three, were disposed of by confer- ence. The remaining three were tried before an Auditor who found in each instance for the Town. 2. The case of Daniel E. Sullivan vs. Town of Watertown pending in the Middlesex Superior Court was tried. The Court found for the plaintiff. The case is still pending on exceptions taken by the Town. The following Equity cases pending in the Middlesex Superior Court at the time of my appointment have been disposed of: 1. Palmi Marrocco et al vs. Edward A. Oates, et als, members of the Board of Appeals. The case was tried and a decree was entered dismissing the bill. 2. Lucy Derderian vs. Building Inspector and Board of Appeals. This 274 was a zoning case. It was tried before a Master by my prede- cessor. The Master's Report was filed after I assumed office. Further proceedings before the Master and before the Court ultimately resulted in a final decree being entered by agreement dismissing the petition without costs and without prejudice. 3. G. Frederick Robinson, et als vs. Town, et als.• This was a tax- payers bill brought to enjoin the Town from paying salaries to ten firemen and to compel the Town to operate its Fire Depart- ment in accordance with the two-platoon system. While this case was pending your Honorable Board, on my advice, ordered the Fire Department back to the two-platoon system. After lengthy negotiations the case was closed by the filing of a stipu- lation in court signed by the parties interested. 4. Commonwealth Co-operative Bank vs. Town of Watertown, Mid- dlesex Superior Court in Equity. Case dismissed without costs. Town of Watertown vs. Commonwealth Co-operative Bank, Land Court. Case withdrawn. These two cases, though in different courts, arose originally out of the same transaction. In the first case, the bank claiming to have paid the taxes on another per- son's property by mistake, sought to have the Court compel the Town to apply the payment to taxes on property owned by the bank. In the second case, the Town sought to foreclose the tax title on the bank's property for nonpayment of taxes. Both cases were closed when the bank after several conferences paid the Town the sum of $1,828.70. 5. Town vs. Martocchio Trucking Co., Inc. This was a Bill in Equity filed by the Town for the appointment of a Receiver of the de- fendant corporation in order to collect a judgment debt owed to the Town by the defendant. A Receiver was appointed in 1938. Other creditors intervened. The assets of the defendant were liquidated by the Receiver who made his final report in 1941. The total assets realized from the liquidation amounted to $365.00 which was used to pay the expenses of the receivership. Nothing was paid to the creditors. The following cases were disposed of in the Second District Court of Eastern Middlesex: 1. John McCree vs. Town. These were two actions brought by the plaintiff to recover from the Town a total of $2,125.00 for work done and tools loaned in connection with the construction of the municipal garage. After the case had been partly tried the plain- tiff agreed to accept the sum of $370.00 in full settlement, and both cases were closed upon payment of this sum by the Town. 2. Margaret Donnelly vs. Town. This was an action to recover $4,000.00 for personal injuries caused by defect in a public way. The case was settled for $100.00. 3. Augustine A. Foley vs. Selectmen of the Town of Watertown. These were proceedings connected with the removal of Augustine A. Foley from the office of Welfare Agent. After his removal from office Mr. Foley brought a petition for a review by the local district court. The court reversed the decision of the Board of Selectmen and ordered his reinstatement. The court found that the majority•of the Board of Selectmen decided to remove the petitioner as welfare agent "in order to replace him by another person in whom they might have greater confidence, by one who might in their opinion more ably serve the Town." The Court further found that the "Selectmen were not actuated in this removal by mere political motives or from any personal spite". The Court found that "there is not sufficient evidence to warrant 275 a finding of incompetence or lack of ability on the part of the petitioner sufficient to establish proper cause for removal under the provisions of General Laws, Chapter 31, Section 45." The following suits were brought against the Town during the period covered by this report, and are still pending: 1. Viola C. Boyle vs. Town—Second District Court of Eastern Mid- dlesex. Action of tort for personal injuries, ad damnum $4,000.00. _ 2. Grace Rattigan, a minor, vs. Town—Second District Court of East- ern Middlesex. Action of tort for personal injuries, ad damnum $10,000.00. 3. Edward Rattigan vs. Town—Second District Court of Eastern Mid- dlesex. Action of tort for personal injuries, ad damnum $10,000.00. 4. Florence Rattigan vs. Town—Second District Court of Eastern Middlesex. Action of tort for personal injuries, ad damnum $10,000.00. 5. Miriam Nazarian vs. Town—Middlesex Superior Court. Action of tort for personal injuries, ad damnum $4,000.00. 6. John W. Fitzpatrick, Admr. vs. Town—Norfolk Superior Court. Action of tort for personal injuries, ad damnum $5,000.00. 7. John W. Fitzpatrick, Admr, vs. Town—Norfolk Superior Court. Action of tort for death, ad damnum '$1,500.00. 8. Delores Valentino, a minor, vs. Town—Second District Court of Eastern Middlesex.

Mary Feraro vs. Town—Second District Court of Eastern Middle- sex, Action of tort to recover $1,000. for personal injuries alleged to have been'received by reason of obstruction on public way.

The Court cases mentioned required extensive investigation and preparation and a total of about thirty-three ,days of trial in addition to attendance in Court on many occasions on preliminary matters. In addition to the performance of the foregoing work my attend- ance was required at the weekly meeting of your Board for the purpose of giving your Board counsel on numerous matters that came before you. These meetings, as you know, lasted many hours. I also attended several meetings of the Water Commissioners and counselled them on a number of questions connected with their department. It would not be practical to enumerate all the other instances in which I was con- sulted by the various Town officers. You will note that the eleven tort claims against the Town, includ- ing five tort cases pending in the Middlesex Superior Court, were disposed of for a total sum of $1,208.00. You will also note that the amount recovered by the Town from other persons during the period covered by this report, exclusive of the amounts recovered in litigated welfare settlement cases, was $5,824.66. No claim was settled without a full investigation of the facts, and in this connection reports made by the Town Physicians, the Engineer- ing Department, the Highway Department, and Captain Joseph J. Reilly of the Police Department were extremely valuable. The work of Town Counsel during 1941 was particularly heavy. I strongly concur in the opinion of my predecessor that an Assistant Town Counsel is needed. I feel certain that any person who studies the 278 work that Town Counsel is called upon to do will agree that it is good sense and good business to provide him with an assistant. I wish to call to your attention that the provisions of our zoning by-law should be re-examined and sections of it clarified. The zoning by-law has not established any heavy industrial districts in Watertown, but it does provide for light industrial districts. The enumeration of in- dustries, however, that may be conducted in Watertown includes some that are clearly heavy industries. The by-law contains no definition of what constitutes a light industry as distinguished from a heavy industry. No precedents exist establishing a line of demarcation between a light industry and a heavy one. The term light industrial district is not sus- ceptible of a clear interpretation and renders the law uncertain. The revision, compilation and publication in convenient form of by- laws of the Town, which I recommended in my report as Town Counsel for the year ending December 31, 1930, still remains undone, although several attempts have been made by the Town toward that end. I be- lieve that the reason why the Committee heretofore appointed for that purpose has not achieved its object is that the work is a specialized one and requires careful research and preparation. I recommend that the services of a lawyer experienced in the law of municipal corporations and familiar with local conditions be retained to revise and compile our by- laws and that an appropriation be made for that purpose. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to my predecessor Mr. Paquet for the many courtesies he extended to me when I took over the work of Town Counsel. I also wish to express my sincere appreciation to you and to the other Town officers who co-operated with me in the performance of my work. Respectfully submitted, ANTHONY JULIAN, Town Counsel. REPORT OF THE RETIREMENT BOARD OF THE TOWN OF WATERTOWN RETIREMENT SYSTEM December 31, 1941. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Watertown, Mass. Gentlemen: The Watertown Contributory Retirement Board respectfully submits its fifth annual report covering the operation of the Town of Watertown Contributory Retirement System for the calendar year ended December 31, 1941. Organization and Activities of the Retirement Board The Retirement Board as now organized consists of Norman D. MacKay, Chairman, Thomas V. Dwyer, Secretary, and William W. Nor- cross, Jr. Mr. James H. Sheridan continues as ex-officio Treasurer- Custodian of the funds of the Retirement System and Mr. Anthony Julian, in his capacity as Town Counsel, acts as the legal advisor of the Retirement Board. The office of the Retirement Board is located in the office of the Town Auditor, who is a member of the Board and who is responsible for keeping the accounts of the Retirement System. Under a ruling promulgated by the Commissioner of Insurance, the three 279 members of the Retirement Board are each bonded for $5,000.00, while the Treasurer-Custodian is bonded for $15,000.00. During the year the Board has held twelve meetings for the official transaction of business, one meeting for the consideration of a petition presented by the Selectmen, while other informal meetings and discus- sions have taken place. Membership of the Retirement System During the year 1941 ten (10) employees without prior service credit were enrolled as members of the Retirement System while four (4) members withdrew voluntarily, from their employment. Four (4) mem- bers were retired for superannuation, Peter McDonald of the Water Department, Susan M. Harding of the School Department, Emma L. Bright of the Water Department, and Charles M. Hewitt, Inspector of Plumbing. It is with regret that the Retirement Board records the death of one of its members during the year, Pierce P. Condon, Super- intendent of the Highway Department. These changes resulted in a net increase of one in the active membership of the System. At the close of the year there were two hundred thirty-six active members with annual salaries totalling $366,001.00. Of this number one hundred forty- three were members eligible for credit for service rendered prior to July 1, 1937, while ninety-three were members without prior service credit. Classification of these employees by departments follows: General Government 50 Highway Department 86 School Department 29 Public Library 20 Water Department 12 Police 11 Poles & Wires 7 Cemetery 4 Moth 4 Fire 13 Total 236 The yearly retirement allowances of the four (4) new pensioners totaled $2,780.25, of which $220.39 represented annuities purchased by their own contributions and $2,559.86 represented pensions provided by contributions of the Town. On December 31, 1941 there were eighteen pensioners receiving an aggregate yearly allowance of $13,313.47. At the last annual Town meeting $29,946.00 was appropriated for the benefit of the Town of Watertown Retirement System, $28,146.00 being for the Pension Accumulation Fund and $1,800.00 for the Expense Fund, representing approximately .018% of the annual payroll of the active members. During the year the Retirement Board invested $89,773.75 exclusive of $878.41 paid for accrued interest in high grade Bonds at an average yield rate of 3.95%. The amortized value of all Bonds owned Dec. 31, 1941 was $134,219.65, the average yield rate on these Bonds being 4.15%. The value of all Stocks owned Dec. 31, 1941 was $20,150.00, the average yield on these Stocks being 4.13%. The net interest income from all Bonds was $4,248.75. In addition there was $1,724.15 accrued interest on Bonds owned Dec. 31, 1941, $750.00 received on Stocks, making a total net interest earned during.the year of $6,722.90, a sum sufficient to pro- vide all of the interest required to maintain the various funds of the System as provided by Law. 280 Appropriation Required for 1942 The law provides that the amounts to be appropriated annually by the Town to the Pension Accumulation Fund of the Retirement System shall be determined by the Commissioner of Insurance each year. For 1942 this required appropriation includes a normal contribution of $9,516.00 on account of membership service, and an accrued liability contribution of $19,492.00 on account of service rendered by members prior to July 1, 1937. In addition an appropriation of $1,800.00 is required for the expense of operating the System. Summarizing, the total appropriation required for 1942 for the Town of Watertown Retire- ment System based upon the payroll of $366,001.00 as of Dec. 31, 1941 for the 236 active members is made up as follows: Per cent Amount Payroll Normal contribution $9,516.00 2.60 Accrued liability contribution 19,492.00 5.32 Total for Pension Accumulation Fund 29,008.00 7.92 Expense Fund 1,800.00 .50 $30,808.00 8.42 Various financial and statistical tables follow: Respectfully submitted.

There was a total of 64 accidents sustained by employees in the course of their work, which is 10 less accidents than the total of 1940. A great many of the accidents were of a minor nature and did not result in a loss of time from work, although medical bills were paid in a great majority of them. A total of 17 persons received compensation payments. An itemized account of compensation paid may be found in the Auditor's report. One Town employee died in 1941 as a result of injuries sustained in the course of his employment in 1935. In this case the best obtain- able medical treatment was provided for the employee, and on his death compensation payments were begun to the widow. As in 1939 and 1940, this department again recommends that motor 284 equipment and, in fact, all equipment used by Town employees be pur- chased with consideration of the safety factor. The newest type of safety trucks will undoubtedly lessen the number of hernias and strains of various kinds, as the use of such trucks has done in other com- munities. Much of Watertown's motor equipment is obsolete so far as safety is concerned. The agent also wishes to recommend to Town employees that they report any injury, however slight, immediately. Attention to this detail would naturally obviate any difficulty in substantiating the claim for injuries. It is obvious that too many injuries are caused by personal carelessness. In one instance a serious injury was caused by failure of equipment. In summation it may be said that elimination of careless- ness and an effort on the part of the various Town departments to employ safety equipment would greatly minimize the possibility of injury. The agent wishes to thank all the Town departments for their cooperation, particularly the Highway, the Police, and the Town Coun- sel. Respectfully, THOMAS F. VAHEY, Agent. REPORT OF THE 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 31st, 1941. The total number of inmates has been twenty-seven which includes re-admissions. One passed away at the Cambridge Hospital, one went with relatives, one was being paid more than ten dollars a week Social Security and was told to leave, four the Welfare Agent found a tene- ment for them, two found work and two were removed to other institu- tions. The greatest number at any one time was sixteen and the smallest eight, the average being ten which is our present number. The usual amount of land was tilled and planted which supplied fresh vegetables during the summer, the surplus was canned. All outside doors were painted, the railing and steps on southerly side painted and piazza floor and steps oiled by the inmates. I wish to thank all visitors who made gifts to the inmates and especially the Civic Federation through Mrs. Markham who brought added cheer at Christmas time. I wish to thank the Town Physician, Dr. Albert L. Barron for his promptness and efficiency in all cases of illness here. In closing I desire to thank your board for kind and careful atten- tion. Visitors are alway welcome at reasonable hours. HARRY J. YORK, Keeper of Infirmary.

Provisional from October 16, 1941 Dental Hygienist GRACE HEINECKE 287 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH To the Citizens of Watertown: The Board of Health submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1941: The Board organized on March 11, 1941 as follows: Louis Mastrangelo, M.D., Chairman Richard J. Plunkett, M.D., Secretary Edward J. Kelley, M.D. The year 1941 has been a normal year in reported contagious dis- eases, and there has been no increase in any disease that would cause fluctuation in our five-year average. The continued co-operation of the Medical Profession, the Middlesex County Sanatorium, the School and District Nurses, and the Staff of the Health Department, resulted in the discovery of Tuberculosis cases as follows: Pulmonary Tuberculosis 19 Tuberculosis (Hilum) 1 Tuberculosis (Other Forms) 2 The hospitalization of these and other serious contagious cases forms the principal expense of the conduct of this department, but in spite of this large item, this Board takes pleasure in reporting that a sum in excess of $1300.00 was returned to the Treasury in unexpended funds, after operating on a basis of .659 per capita against an authorita- tive national allowance of $1.00 per capita. A leave of absence of six months from September 20, 1941, was granted to Mrs. Mary Linehan Schiavone, Public Health Nurse, and a temporary appointment of Miss Rita Vahey was made to complete the staff. Plumbing Inspector Charles M. Hewitt, who entered the service on July 18, 1927, was retired on November 28, 1941, and the Board of Health records his long and faithful service. Mr. Edward L. Maurer was ap- pointed Provisional Inspector of Plumbing and Sanitation pending the establishment of a Civil Service eligibility list. The Board wishes to thank the Officials of the Town, the County and the Commonwealth Departments, who have co-operated with the Health Department during the past year. Respectfully submitted, LOUIS MASTRANGELO, M.D., Chairman RICHARD J. PLUNKE'IT, M.D., Secretary EDWARD J.

Watertown had 10 deaths from Tuberculosis against 7 deaths in 1940. During the year we had four cases of two persons from the same family being in the same hospital at the same time, which situa- tion serves to strongly emphasize the necessity of early discovery and early and continued supervision of all contacts. At the close of 1941, the hospital population of Watertown patients was as follows: Lakeville State Sanatorium 1 Middlesex County Sanatorium 23 North Reading Sanatorium 2 Rutland State Sanatorium 1 Total 27 290 Dog Bites During 1941 we had 157 cases of dog bite reported to this Depart- ment. With a dog population of about 1500 (estimated), this indicates that about one dog in every ten is a biting dog, which appears to be too much biting for a Town such as Watertown. It further emphasizes the need of havnig every dog vaccinated against rabies at the annual clinic conducted by this Department. Dental Clinic A greatly enlarged program has been undertaken by this important unit of our Public Health program. Whereas we formerly restricted our efforts to the First and Special Grades and Emergencies, we have inau- gurated a schedule of First and Third Grades, Special Classes, Emer- gencies, and a sizeable group of Welfare and Relief cases outside these classifications. The Dentists of the Clinic have vastly increased the number of cases handled, and the Prophylaxis program of the Dental Hygienist has rounded a very worthwhile program. Nursing Service The Nurses of this Department have continued to provide First Aid and Health Supervision to the 1200 children in parochial schools that are not cared for by the Nurses of the Public School system. Their service has been of a high order in this work and in the supervision of isolation and quarantine of contagious diseases. The Nurses have also assisted in the coverage of Tuberculosis contacts, and served at the Well Baby, Diphtheria, and Anti-Rabic Clinics of the Department. Sanitation The appointment of an Inspector of Plumbing and Sanitation is going to help greatly in the further improvement of Sanitation in general throughout Watertown. In every case where improvement has been recommended we have received full co-operation. Respectfully submitted, JOHN A. COLBERT, Health Officer. MILK. INSPECTION To the Board of Health Gentlemen: I submit the following report as Inspector of Milk for the year 1941. Regular inspections have been made of establishments where milk and cream are processed and stored for distribution. Bacteriological and chemical examinations have been made of dairy products as distributed to the public. The milk supply has been of excellent quality, and what- ever corrections were indicated have been immediately made.

Casey Wagonman and Janitor Thomas Ryder Clerk of Department Edmund P. Hickey Military Service °*Military Substitute 293 There, were 1932 arrests in 1941: 1836 males, 96 females and 311 foreign born. The principal causes of arrest were as follows:—Auto violations, 1145; drunkenness, 345; breaking and entering and larceny in the night time, 41; breaking and entering and larceny in the day time, 16; suspicious persons, 40; violation of probation, 41; promoting lottery, 8_ VALUATION OF PROPERTY STOLEN AND RECOVERED-1941 Valuation of property reported stolen $24,429.91 Valuation of property recovered 17,974.28 Valuation of property recovered for other depts. 11,240.00 OPERATIONS OF COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS Radio Calls 5,218 Telephone Calls 995 Duty Calls 64,473 Wagon Calls 240 MOTOR VEHICLES Runs made by ambulance 290 Miles run by ambulance 1,100 Mileage for car 7 17,000 Mileage for car 10 61,842 Mileage for car 11 51,565 Mileage for car 12 15,000 Mileage for motorcycle 1 1,000 Mileage for motorcycle 2 1.500 Mileage for motorcycle 3 100 CRI51E I am very much pleased to report that we have had no robbery cases for the year. We have had forty-eight breaking and entering cases for the year and fifty-seven arrests for this offence. Four of these arrests were for the more serious breaks, such as the Dunn Drug Store break at which time $1,200.00 worth of merchandise was stolen and the Crossley Garage break at which time $1,100.00 worth of mer- chandise was stolen. Although these Breaks occurred in the latter part of 1940, the arrests were made in the early part of 1941. There were sixty-four larceny cases reported which is a slight decrease over last year. The property stolen during the year was valued at $24,429.91 and we recovered property to the value of $17,974.28. I consider this a fine record, having in mind that by the time thieves are detected and apprehended, they have disposed of most of the loot. GAMBLING AND VICE The Town is practically free from vice. It was necessary to make six arrests during the year for offences against the lottery law and one arrest for maintaining a gambling nuisance. LIQUOR Arrests for drunkenness however, has dropped from 368 in 1940 to 345 for 1941. During 1940, it became necessary to institute criminal proceedings against six druggists for violations of the liquor laws. In 1941 we had only one such case. CONDUCT OF OFFICERS The conduct of the officers has been good although in a few in- stances it was necessary to take disciplinary action. I am very much pleased with the spirit of co-operation and team work displayed by 294 the majority of the department, particularly since this country's entry into the war. On several occasions, they have been required to work overtime and on their days off. This they have done and I know, will continue to do whenever it is necessary. There have been no prolonged cases of sickness in the department during 1941. CHANGES IN DEPARTMENT Patrolman Francis A. Garafalo was granted a leave of absence March 1, 1941 to serve with the military forces of this country. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Francis J. McCarthy (a reserve officer) as a military substitute. Patrolman Laurence J. Gleason was granted a three months' leave of absence September 18th to engage in private business and a further three months' leave December 18, 1941. This vacancy was not filled. Sgt. Joseph P. Stead was granted a six months' leave of absence De- cember 31, 1941 to enter the employment of the General Electric Com- pany. This vacancy was not filled. RECOMMENDATIONS I recommend that twelve (12) additional permanent police officers be appointed. The appointment of these officers will enable me to divide those districts in the Town on which industrial plants are situated, into routes of less area at night time. It would also enable me to assign two more men to the inspectors and traffic departments. The inspectors' work has increased tremendously, due in a great meas- ure to the investigations we are required to make for the Army, Navy, U. S. Civil Service, Treasury Dept. and F. B. I. We also have many reports from citizens as to subversive activities or un-American state- ments made by other Townspeople, all of which must be investigated. The task of investigating employees of Watertown concerns, particularly watchmen and guards, takes many hours of work for both our officers and clerical force. The investigation of some members of defense units, likewise increased the work of the inspectors. The traffic department has needed help for years and this work has increased at least three times because of the great influx of persons coming to our Town to work in our factories. The anticipated blackout conditions will make it necessary to have more assistance in the traffic department. We should have three more men in the station, one for each shift, to answer emergency calls and to assist with the clerical and detail work. These men would also be available in case of fire, air raid alarm or other emergency around the station itself. I need these men to carry on the regular work of our department not for emergency work. I earnestly recommend that no more leaves of absence be granted to officers for the purpose of engaging in private industry, unless the government requests such a leave. Now that this country is at war, I feel that we need the experienced officers and that they should not be allowed to go to private industry solely for financial gain. My request for an increased appropriation for reserve men is to cover such cases of leaves of absence (we have two at this date) and to cover other conditions that may develop in war time that we would not otherwise experience. I recommend an increase in the contingency appropriation because the cost of maintenance and supply increases proportionately with the size of the department and the increase in the work of the police 295 officers'and clerical force, and of course, the cost of materials, gas and oil are bound to rise. It causes me much concern to have to ask for these increases for supplies, equipment and personnel, but I assure you that I feel it is -absolutely necessary. The record of this department for years back, insofar as expense is concerned, is one that contains numerous examples of our determination to be economical. In hundreds of instances, we have turned money back when we did not feel that it was necessary to spend it. In 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. John F. Milmore Chief of Police Watertown, Mass. Sir: I hereby submit the report of the Traffic Department for the year ending December 31, 1941. The number of arrests made for traffic violations were 1145. SAFETY—EDUCATION During the year School Patrols were organized and traffic belts were furnished to the boys on the patrols. A Driver's Club with a membership of about four hundred students was organized in the Senior High School. At the meetings many well known lecturers in the field of Safety spoke of the members. A visit was made to every school in Watertown both public and private at which time two Motor Registry Inspectors and I spoke to the children and three pictures on safety were shown. Through the courtesy of Mr. Timilty, Police Commissioner of Bos- ton, time on three radio programs (Station WORL) was allotted the children of Watertown. The Browne School, The High School, and the Perkins Institution for the Blind participated in these programs. Mr. Frank Kelly, Superintendent of the Public Schools has cooperated in every way with the program of safety in the schools. The Sisters In the Catholic schools have also helped and cooperated in every way possible. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING This year the Selectmen adopted the Thirty-Mile per hour zone and twenty-mile zone in the business section. About fifty speed signs were erected in various parts of the town and speed limit signs were painted on the street in about fifty locations. Crosswalks were painted in front of churches and schools, and in front of factories and also at the Arsenal and other busy crossings. Car stops on Mt. Auburn Street were painted, center lines were prepared and painted on many streets. The word Stop was painted at every legal stop street. This work was done by the NYA boys under the supervision of the Foreman of the Highway Department. On account of so many defense workers coming into Watertown to work restricted parking was put into effect on Walnut Street, Arsenal Street, No. Beacon Street, Arlington Street, Cypress Street, Laural Street, Elm Street, Mt. Auburn Street, Galen Street, Water Street, Main 296 Street, Coolidge Avenue. This has done much to clear the streets of all day packers. The widening of Watertown Street has done much to help move the traffic at that part of the town. Due to the increased registration of cars and defense workers com- ing to work in Watertown the town has had its heaviest year of traffic in history. ACCIDENTS The number of accidents has increased, there being five hundred and twenty-five in 1941 as against five hundred and six in 1940. The number of persons injured has decreased, however, there being two hundred and seventy persons injured as against two hundred and ninety-eight in 1940 and three hundred and twelve in 1939. This decrease in personal injuries is gratifying considering the traffic in Watertown has increased at least 50%. On January 2, 1942, when last figures were compiled by registry, there were 636,110 passenger cars registered, against 591,440 for a cor- responding period of a year ago. There are 86,560 trucks registered, against 82,263 a year ago. We have had 2 fetal accident cases for the year 1941. Respectfully submitted, ANDREW J. DONNELLY, Sergeant in charge of Traffic. REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK'S DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of Watertown: The following annual report is submitted by the Town Clerk. Receipts for fees collected in the office of the Town Clerk reached a new high in 1941. The department reports the sum of $7,084.44 col- lected in fees directly handled by the Town Clerk. Of this amount, $1,754.25 was in Conservation fees, and $2,416 in dog licenses. Marriage Intentions Reach New High The increase in fees was partly represented in the fact that the filing of Marriage Intentions reached an all time high figure. Some 580 intentions were filed, and exceeded the previous high total of 1940 by 162. The increase in marriage intentions was noted throughout the Commonwealth. Revision of By-Laws Should Take Place at Once The Town Clerk for a fifth consecutive year recommends that im- mediate attention be given to drawing up a new and modern set of by-laws. The present by-laws are in deplorable condition and have not kept pace with the changes in municipal affairs. Considerable research must be done in connection with drafting a new set of by-laws, and the task properly belongs to a legal expert, and if necessary the town should appropriate a sum sufficient to pay for the cost of preparing the same. Selective Service Registration Conducted by Town Clerk One of the increased responsibilities placed on the Town Clerk during 1941 was the handling and supervision of the Selective Service Registration held on October 16, 1941. In connection with this work 297 the Town Clerk was aided by public spirited citizens, and to all who did assist, the Town Clerk takes this opportunity in his annual report to publicly record his thanks. Resignation of Third Clerk One change in the personnel of the office took place about mid-year with the resignation of the third clerk, Florence Farley Duffy. Miss Barbara L. Butler was appointed to fill the vacancy. Selectmen's Fees In addition to the sum collected as Town Clerk's fees, the Town Clerk collected in behalf of the Selectmen the sum of $32,000.15, which was for various licenses, including the liquor license fees. The total sum collected in the office of the Town Clerk for the year 1941 was $39,084.59. FEES COLLECTED IN THE OFFICE OF THE TOWN CLERK FOR THE YEAR 1941 .

VITAL STATISTICS The report of this department for the year 1941, concerning vital statistics, is herewith submitted. It should be noted that the statistics concerning birth records are incomplete, because of the fact that many out-of-town births from neighboring cities have not been forwarded to this town, since as far back as October of 1941. The same applies to marriage and death records.

HERBERT APPLIN, BERNARD S. McHUGH, CHESTER H. PARKER, Selectmen. For year ending December 31, 1941. 315 REPORT OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN The annual report of the Board of Selectmen for the year ending December 31, 1941, is respectfully submitted to the citizens of Water- town. The board is pleased to call to the attention of the citizens of Watertown the fact that for the year 1941, $230,000 of Town indebted- ness was paid off and that no money was borrowed for that period -of time. On January 1, 1942 the Town debt was $890,000 which is the lowest it has been since 1918 when it stood at $767,500. The high peak of Town indebtedness was 1928 with a debt of $2,172,000. The Board takes pride in the fact that for the first time in 22 years the indebted- ness is below $1,000,000. Relief The Town appropriated $89,566 for W.P.A. in 1941. Of this amount $70,000 was for W.P.A, materials. On January 1, 1942 there was a balance for materials for W.P.A. on hand of $37,659.02. During the year three projects were in operation. 1. The Ridgelawn Cemetery, 2. The James Russell Lowell Playground and 3. The Municipal Garage. One of the reasons for the curtailment in W.P.A. activity for the year 1941 was the fact that private employment has absorbed a number of men and another reason was that many of the men, approximately 65, have been travelling to Camp Devens daily since May of 1941 working on defense projects at Camp Devens. It is gratifying to the Board to see a marked decrease in W.P.A. activity. The sum of $125,000 was appropriated for outside aid in the Public Welfare Departments for the year 1941. The expenditures for 1941 for this Department show a decrease of $58,678.48 over 1940. The reason for this decrease is the marked uptrend in private employment and closer supervision by the Board of Selectmen of aid granted. In the Depart- ments of Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children, $84,834 and $69,425 respectively were appropriated for the year 1941. In both of these classifications of aid there has been an increase in the appro- priation and the amount expended over 1940. Soldiers' Relief expen- ditures decreased in 1941 as compared with 1940'by $12,884.77. Highway Department The death of the Superintendent of Streets, Pierce P. Condon early in the year of 1941 was deeply felt by the citizens in the Town and particularly members of the Highway Department and the Board of Selectmen. During the year the Highway Department acquired tires for their equipment which should take care of their needs for many months to come. Motor oil was purchased in anticipation of shortages and price rise for almost a year. A sand loader was also acquired to facilitate the loading of trucks used for plowing 'snow. Salt was purchased to mix-with the sand for sanding the highways. All these were acquired out of the regular highway appropriation with the exception of $1100 additional granted by the Finance Committee for,the purchase of tires. The Board has requested reclassification of all Civil Service em- ployees by the Civil Service Commission and it is believed that this will be accomplished in a short time. During the month of December after war was declared, 500 soldiers were quartered in this Town and the Board at this time wants to extend its thanks to all Town employees and citizens of the Town who Cooper- ated so readily in making provisions for housing these men. Approxi- mately 90 men were housed•at our Municipal Garage and all of their trucks were serviced through our repair shop at the Garage. 316 Retirement of Patrick Quinn The Board wishes to call attention to the fact that Patrick Quinn, Assistant Superintendent of the Highway Department for many years retired during the year 1941. The Board wishes to thank Mr. Quinn for his many years of faithful service. Harold E. Johnston, a member of the Highway Department, after a Civil Service examination, was ap- pointed Assistant Superintendent of Streets. Watertown Street was constructed and widened as a Chapter 90 project during the year 1941 and it is the opinion of the Board that this project was a distinct advantage to the Town. The Board feels that Highway construction under Chapter 90 is advantageous to the Town because of the fact that the cost of this construction is shared by the State, the County and the Town. Police Department Due to the increased employment, particularly in defense indus- tries in the Town of Watertown, there has been a marked increase in the problems of handling traffic. The Police Department has managed very well and it is the belief of the Board, that additional police officers are now necessary to properly police the town. It is also the belief of the Chief of Police and Board of Selectmen, that the routes are larger than they should be. It is the intent of the Chief of Police to revise these routes following the town meeting. The town is fortunate in that no serious crime occurred during 1941. Civilian Defense During 1941 it became apparent that Civilian Defense activities would become an important part of the war preparations of this coun- try, and following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the enrollment of our citizens increased tremendously. At the present time there are over three thousand of our citizens enrolled in various Civilian -activities and the Board at this time wishes to express to the citizens of the Town of Watertown their appreciation for their willingness to assist in this important activity. Town Meetings There were four town meetings held during the year 1941. Again, as in the previous year, the annual'meeting held on March 24, 1941, found the Finance Committee and the Selectmen in absolute accord regarding recommendations for annual appropriations. On March 31 a special town meeting was held to consider the appropriation for re- modeling the North Branch Library and to see if the town would estab- lish their own revolving fund to establish the Federal Surplus Com- modity Stamp Plan. Favorable action was taken on both articles. A special town meeting was held on September 29 at the request of the Federal Government, through General Case of the Watertown Arsenal, to see if the town would vote to discontinue that part of School Street located between Arsenal Street and North Beacon Street, as and for a public way; also to see if the town would discontinue Bird Terrace as a private way. The significance of these two articles in so far as the tax payers of the Town of Watertown are concerned, is far reach- ing. The loss of taxable property to the Town of Watertown, as the result of the Government taking the property occupied by the Simmons Mattress Company and the property on Bird Terrace, amounts to $214,- 350.00 The regular Transfer Meeting was held on November 3, 1941, and in this meeting under Article 8, the Town of Watertown voted to pur- chase a new 750 gallon pump for the Fire Department to replace a piece of apparatus twenty-one years old. 317 War Since the entry of our country into the World War No. 2, it is the opinion of the Board of Selectmen that the attention of the citizens be directed to the fact that all must be prepared to do their part and also be prepared to make such sacrifices as will be necessary to assure final victory in this struggle. Many things that we have been accus- tomed to in the past, will have to be given up and we will have to prepare ourselves to do without many of the things which we have felt were a part of our daily lives. We believe that the sacrifices that we make now will ultimately result in victory for us and for an assurance of the continuation of our high standards of living. Conclusion The work of the Board of Selectmen has increased many times in the year 1941 because of the unusual conditions and the present war. The Board has handled all routine matter and has conducted the busi- ness of the town in a fair and impartial manner. All contracts of purchase of supplies used in the town, were made after open bidding and in all instances the awards were made to the lowest responsible bidder. The Board of Selectmen have received cooperation from all departments and Town employees and at this time the Board wishes to thank all of the employees for their splendid cooperation and loyal service. The Board also wishes to thank the citizens who have served on committees and in any way aided them in the performance of their duties. Respectfully submitted, H. HERBERT APPLIN, BERNARD S.
