IN MEMORIAM
GEORGE HAROLD DALE
1870-1958
The death of George Harold Dale on December 4, 1958 brought to a

Born in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada on November 25, 1870, be
was graduated from Mount Allison College, Dorchester, New Brunswick,
Canada with a degree in mechanical engineering. For many years he was
associated with the Hood Rubber Company of Watertown.
His life was an active one, in business, in fraternal circles, and in
his community. He was elected a Park Commissioner in 1906 and served
for a three year term. He also served on the Finance Committee from 1915
to 1919, and served Watertown in the Great and General Court from the
then 29th Middlesex District in the years 1921-22, 1925-26, 1933-M. In
addition he also was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1917.
In 1922, by virtue of office, he was a member of the committee to rec-
ommend amendments to the Limited Town Meeting Act.
Mr. Dale was recognized as an able debator in the General Court,
and in his public career he was known as a man whose thinking was
clear and to the point. He was well informed and gave freely of his time
during the expansion years of the Town of. Watertown.

Therefore, be it resolved by the Town Meeting, of which he was a
faithful member and participant, that this public recognition of Mr
Dale's service and devotion to the town, be spread upon the records,

Hon. Wesley E. Monk was born in Stoughton, Massachusetts, August
21, 1874. He died in Needham, Massachusetts, January, 14, 1958, in his
85th year.
Educated in the Stoughton schools, he graduated from Brown Uni-
ver-ity in 1896 and from the Harvard Law School in 1899.
He came to Watertown in 1904, and was married to Miss Clara L.
Wilson of Watertown in 1905. During his residence here Mr. Monk was
an attendant of The First Parish Church and was active in its affairs.
He was eminently successful as a lawyer, and was for many years At-
torney for the Watertown Savings Bank.
In the Public Life and Government of Watertown and the Com-
monwealth of Massachusetts, for a quarter of a century he occupied a
prominent and influential place. He was Selectman in 1912-1914; Rep-
resentative in the Legislature from Watertown 1915-1920; and State
Senator 1921-1922.
In 1923, by appointment of Gov. Channing H. Cos, Mr. Monk be-
came Insurance Commissioner of Massachusetts, and served in that Office
with conspicuous ability and intellectual honesty until his resignation in
1928. In 1929 he moved to Springfield, Massachusetts to become General
Counsel of The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.
As a Legislator, Mr. Monk was largely responsible for the adoption
of the Act constituting the Representative Town Meeting in Watertown.
124 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
He was proud of his membership in this assembly. As a leader in debate.
he was forceful and persuasive.
It is therefore fitting that this Meeting should express recognition
of his services to the Town and the State during his residence here, and
spread upon its records an appreciation therefor.

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 131
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Watertown:
Your Finance Committee submits for your approval the recommended
budget for the year 1959.
Hearings on the largest budget in the history of Watertown began
early in January and continued until concluded on Saturday, February 28,
1959. Careful consideration and investigation was given to every item,
and the necessary reductions or additions are recommended by the com-
mittee.
On the requests for salary increases, the committee has followed the
recommendations of the School Committee for the instruction account,
but for other personnel and all other employees of the Town, we have
recommended the following plan:
1. That all full time salaried employees below $5,000.00 be granted
a $125.00 increase, and that all full time salaried employees over $5,000.00
be granted a 21/. % increase.
2. That hourly rated employees in groups A, B, C, D, and E be
granted a S.06 an hour increase, and all hourly rated employees in groups
F and G be granted a S.07 an hour increase.
3. That all permanent part-time salaried employees be given a pro-
portionate increase to those granted under No. 1.
In addition to the appropriations recommended in this report, we
also have the amount of $119,056 which was apprropriated at the Jan-
uary Town Meeting, and also has to be considered in the estimate of
your 1959 tax bill.
We feel that we have kept costs to the minimum and earnestly re-
quest that you follow our recommendations.
I wish to thank all the members of the Finance Committee for their
faithful attendance and many hours of careful work.

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 153
REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK
The following report is submitted by Town Clerk George B. Wellman.
The Town Clerk's department collected $12,735.40 covering various
types of licenses and fees. Of this amount $5,056.25 was for Conservation
licenses and =4.00 was for dog licenses. Fees, amounting to M2.25 for
writing Conservation licenses, were turned into the Town Treasury. There
was a sharp decline in amount of money collected for dog licenses.
As Collector of Fees for the Board of Selectmen, The Town Clerk's
office turned into the Town Treasury the sum of $39,108.50.
TOWN MEETINGS
Although the by-laws were changed so that more than one meeting
could be held in any one week, the Annual Town Meeting nevertheless
took ten sessions to complete, and extended to April 15.
There were also two Special Town Meetings held during the year,
one on January 14, preceding the Annual Town Meeting, and the other on
November 9.
RECOMMENDATIONS
As Town Clerk, I have for more than a decade recommended that
the Office be relocated on the first floor to better serve the public.
Nothing has been done, and the year 1960, which is a Presidential year,
bids fair to be extremely busy, and the public will of necessity have to
climb the stairs to the second floor to be served. I sincerely recommend
that a committee be appointed to make a survey of the Administration
Building facilities.
Also, I would like to emphasize that a study should be made regard-
ing amending the Limited Town Meeting Act with a view to revising the
Precincts. With the large growth in population which has taken place
in Precincts Nine and Ten, it is imperative that the Precints be increased
and revised at a time consistent with the laws.
ASSISTANT TOWN CLERK
The annual town meeting voted a Male Assistant Town Clerk, and
on September 8, 1959, I appointed Quinton B. Jones to this position in
accordance with the provision of General Laws.

VITAL STATISTICS
Lacking a hospital in the community, the report on Vital Statistics
is incomplete at the time of writing this report in respect to births
and deaths.
A total of 422 couples filed Intentions of Marriage during 1959. The
total number of marriages consummated, including records of Watertown
persons married without the Commonwealth, and whose records were
forwarded to the Town Clerk, numbered 450. The foregoing total also
includes out of town marriages taking place in Watertown.
A total of 405 deaths, relating to persons who died in Watertown, or
Watertown residents, who died out of town, have been forwarded to the
Secretary of State to date. This is an incomplete total as many returns
have not as yet been received from neighboring towns and cities.
The record of births filed at the time of writing this report is also
incomplete. The number of births recorded to date is 684. Only two
births took place in the Town of Watertown for the year 1960. All other
births to Watertown parents took place in hospitals in neighboring cities
and towns.
CLAIMS AGAINST TOWN AND INVOLVING
TOWN PROPERTY
Attention is called to claims filed against the Town of Watertown
for alleged defects in sidewalks, etc., and also accidents involving town
property, such as street signs, traffic signs, signal lights, and town
equipment. There is a marked increase in such items, and some study
should be made to eliminating possible sidewalk defects. All such claims
and damage to town property are filed with the town clerk, who processes
them for investigation, and files reports with the Town Counsel. 'There
were 27 claims filed by persons against the Town in 1959, and also 28
reports on damage to town property and town equipment.

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 157
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town the Planning Board
submits its report for the year 1959.
REZONING PROBLEMS
At a Special Town Meeting in June 1959 the Watertown Planning
Board unanimously recommended rezoning of a parcel of land between
Fayettee and Quirk Sts. (Precinct 7) along Waverley Ave. from general
residence (2) to apartment district (3) in order to permit the construc-
tion of 40 housing units for the elderly. Approval was granted unanimously
by the Town Meeting.
At this same Special Town Meeting the rezoning (Precinct 8) of
certain New England Laundries properties (deferred because of an ad-
ministrative technicality from the Annual March 'Town Meeting) was
unanimously recommended by the Planning Board. Approval was granted
unanimously, also, by the Special Town Meeting to rezone from general
residence (2) to a light industrial district (5).
A hearing is to be held January 25th upon the petition of the Literary
Society of Ste. Catherine of Sienna, a Massachusetts Corporation, and
consideration will be given to the rezoning problems involved in the
proposed change from residential district (2) to apartment district (3).
II. SEWER-DRAINAGE PROGRAMS
The recurrent surface drainage flooding of the Watertown Police
Station serves to point up the need for expeditious administration of the
comprehensive Faye-Spofford and Thorndike survey recommendations al-
though that particular feature of Watertown's flooding problem waits
upon the Boston and Maine R. R.'s track abandonment petition now before
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The first phase of this extensive program is made up of the Town's
five most critical surface drainage areas and includes:
1. Sawin's Pond
2. Acton St. System
3. California St. Drain
4. Spring St. System
5. Laundry Brook
The last year's Town Meeting approval of $400,000 to accomplish this
first phase should prove a most wise and economical move. The Sewer
Drainage Committee with the results of the $18,000 Faye-Spofford, Thorn-
dike survey in hand now have a constructive master plan that meets
all the basic requirements for sound planning, i.e.
1. Long range thinking
2. Flexibility
3. Comprehensiveness
4. Continuity
In regard to the Town's sewerage relief program, future easements
appear to depend upon the State's new Pumping Station being con-
structed. Unfortunately for Watertown, said station is still in its designing
stage.
e
15S TOWN OF WATERTOWN
The 1959 Planning Board is proud that its former chairman and one
of its former professional consultants were the orginators of and continue
to be members of the Sewer Drainage Committee — a committee so
essential to the general health and welfare of Watertown residents.
III. STREET RENAMING
The Planning Board would like to recommend a modification in the
present operting procedure with regard to planning functions requiring
town meeting action. The present procedure is for the board to recommend
an action to the town meeting; which body may, after due deliberation,
appoint a committee to study the specific problem or to carry out a
specific action. At the present time, the Planning Board has no juris-
diction over the actions of the appointed committees and is powerless
to influence or expedite the work of the committees.
A good example of this situation is the problem of eliminating dupli-
cate street names. A committee on duplication of street names was ap-
pointed three years ago. In the ensuing period the committee has suc-
ceeded in having only one street name changed. We understand that
they have been working on the problem and expect to propose several
more changes to the town meeting. Originally thirty-four situations re-
quired attention, so that up to now the special committee has not been
able to make a significant contribution toward solving the problem.
If the Planning Board retained responsibility for (or a partnersrlip)
in the resolution of a problem, it would be possible for it to make an
effort to expedite the work of the special committee.
The Planning Board would like to recommend that in the future
when planning actions are approved by the town meeting, they at least
include adequate representation from the Planning Board on any sub-
sequently formed Town Committee.
IV. PARKING
With the construction of further off street facilities in the Municipal
Lot for retail store customers, Watertown Square's parking problems have
been alleviated to a great extent. More adequate parking for the Police
Department as well as the Municipal Lot's unsightly condition and all
day parking needs have been eliminated (conditions noted in the Plan-
ning Board's 1956 and 1958 Reports).
However, as described in the Planning Board's 1958 Report, there still
remain the following items for better planning consideration:
1. Removal of meters along Church St. north of the western en-
trance to the Municipal Lot and the substitution of "No Parking" signs
on both sides of Church St. for the purpose of relieving frequent con-
gestion and increasing vehicular-pedestrian safety conditions.
2. Improvement of western entrance to the Municipal Lot through
widening and lessening the severe grade at that point, particularly for
the convenience of drivers turning into the Northbound lane on Church St.
3. Creation of more explicit laws and regulations governing on and
off street parking of vehicles belonging to apartment house dwellers.
4. A comprehensive review of parking problems throughout the
Township.

V. GENERAL APPROACH TO TOWN PLANNING AT PRESENT
As may be gained from the above, the functional gap between the
Planning Board and other Town Official bodies appears to be closing.
Funds have been more easily avaliable for operational expenses. The gen-
eral public is more aware of the Planning Board's position as not just.a
"zone-changing-board".
To further close this gap it is suggested that the present and future
moderators appoint at least one member of the Planning Board to com-
mittees considering "Planning" warrant articles.
Watertown's need for a continuing governmental agency (dedicated
to long range thinking and to closer working relationship with the execu-
tive branches of local government) has become more generally accepted
by officials and public alike.
The 1959 Planning Board is sincerely grateful to the Finance Com-
mittee for its sympathetic consideration of the Planning Board's oper-
ational needs. With the help of the Finance Committee the Planning
Board has been able this past year to secure the necessary secretarial
assistance and to build its planning materials and files to an up-to-date,
useful level.
Since monies for legal retainers and revision of the Town's Zoning
Laws were not needed during 1959, the planning board is privileged to
return a larger stun to the Town Treasury than should be usual. In the
former instance, pertinent Board findings were taken to the Supreme
Courts by private citizens involved, and in the latter instance, a contin-
uing study is being made of data gathered for the revision of zoning
by-laws in 1960.
The Rousing Act of 1959 has expanded the Urban Planning Assist-
ance Program in relationship to Watertown as follows:
1. Cities and towns with populations of less than 50,000 are eligible
for grants. This is an increase from the former population, limit of 25,000.
Waltham, Arlington, Belmont and Watertown may now participate in
this program.
2. As less than $2,000,000 will be available during the fiscal year of
1960, Watertown may not be able to avail itself of these benefits until
1961. However, if the Planning Board together with other pertinent Town
agencies begins planning now, Watertown should be ready in 1961 or
1962 to ease its future local tax burdens.
VI. ENPANDIN G POPULATION PROBLEM
The greatest spurt in population for the next decade is predicted for
communities west and southwest of Boston. While Watertown may not be
the hardest hit, it stands to gain somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000
new faces. For Watertown, this may present quite a growth problem if
not thought about at the present time.
With 9917o of Watertown's land surface utilized at present only one
direction of expansion is left — UP. This means that careful attention
must be given to where apartment house areas should be set up since
half of Watertown is "business-industry" and the other half is residen-
lgp TOWN OF WATERTOWN
tially zoned. In view of the above it becomes increasingly evident
that a master plan is absolutely essential if Watertown is to grow in
an orderly fashion.
If careful long range zoning and planning (as they affect the traffic,
the last sizeable residential developments, industry, business, schools,
recreation and park land usages) are not consummated within the next
two years, Watertown's present developmental and tax problems will ap-
pear quite insignificant to posterity.
Municipal cooperation among its own integral parts must continue
high, and coordination of governmental offices with planning groups in
the community itself must be increased in order to assure Watertown a
beneficial, orderly growth in the future.
VII. SUGGESTED AREAS FOR THOUGHT
1. Survey of redevelopment areas and participation in the Urban
assistance program.
2. Updating, explanation and publication of greatly needed new
laws governing Township growth.
3. Greater participation in State, and Federal Planning Programs.
4. Acquisition of and development of lands for New schools, further
housing for the elderly and recreation areas (Gore estate, Oakley, M.D.C.
properties, etc.)
5. New Police Station.
G. Expansion of Planning Board facilities.
7. Improvement of Watertown Square traffic problem.
a. possible use of abandoned Boston & Maine track
b. Additional traffic bridge (one-way-south) near Lewandos Laun-
dry.
c. reassignment of taxi stands across the Charles River on Cali-
fornia and Watertown Streets.
8. Enlargement of Administration Building with elevator.
In conclusion it should be noted that Committeeman Robert Shutt
wishes to voice objection to Part III of this Report. All other committee
members concur affiirmatively.

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 1165
REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Administration Building
Watertown, Mass.
Gentlemen:
During 1959, citizens and public officials were at least talking more
about Civil Defense, if they were not perfecting such programs. Interest
in radiation shelter construction increased greatly and a pamphlet en-
titled "Family Fall Out Shelter" became the most requested publication
yet prepared by the Office Of Civil and Defense Mobilization. Local
interest centered around the building of such a shelter by your Director,
which has occasioned much comment and many inquiries for construction
particulars.
Another high point of the year's activities was the preparation and
approval of a local Operations Plan which covers the problems of strategic
evacuation, tactical evacuation, shelter and post-attack recovery.
From an organization standpoint, a reduction in the volunteer corps
was accomplished by removal from the lists of persons whose interest
had flagged; the remaining personnel constitute a dependable and function-
ing nucleus around which larger groups can be built, if conditions worsen.
The federal budget for Civil Defense administration and development
was larger in 1959 than in the previous year; but the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, largely as a result of conflict between the Governor and
the Legislature, substantially reduced its appropriation with the result
that Sector offices were closed. This latter action placed an additional
burden on the local communities, since there is less cohesion without the
Sectors to weld them together for united action. The acquisition of mili-
tary surplus equipment made available to several town departments item
for emergency use having an actual dollar value S4817.00.
There is nothing to indicate, at the present, that the Civil Defense
program can be terminated in the foreseeable future, although it has
been possible to continue it with less expenditure of town funds as
will be noted from the steady reduction over the past three years.

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Seleletmen
Gentlemen:
In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town I submit the annual
report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1959,
and submit for your consideration recommendations that in my opinion
are necessary for the efficient operation of the Fire Department for the
year 1960.
The membership of the Fire Department at the close of the year
ending December 31, 1959 was as follows: (1) Chief; three (3) Deputy
Chiefs; five (5) Captains; nine (9) Lieutenants; one (1) Mechanician;
eighty four (84) Privates, for a toal of 103 members of the department.
The total number of alarms for the year was 1,050, an increase of
fifteen alarms over the previous year. In addition the Fire Department
assisted the Police Department responding to 291 calls with the Police
ambulance.
Fire alarms were as follows: Bell alarms 202; still alarms 848.
There were 62 false alarms, an increase of 13 over the previous year.
A condensed report on fire losses, values and insurance is as fol-
lows:

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 167
The acceptance of the 48 hour work week by referendum, which was
voted in November of 1958, required that.the transition be made on or
before February 4, 1959 which presented many problems, however as the
problems arose a satisfactory solution was found and I am pleased to
report that the 48 hour work week is working satisfactorily.
SALARIES
It is my recommendation that the Salaries be in accordance with
the requests as made by the department members to the Advisory Board
of Review for the various grades and classifications.
HOLIDAY PAY
The sum of $15,000 should be provided for Holiday Pay, however it
is to be understood that in the event a member is sick, injured or on
vacation on any of the included holidays, the member or members would
not qualify for holiday pay and the amount that normally would be paid
would be deducted from the sum total. Due to the fact that there is
no way of knowing in advance as to absenteeism and to the number
.of members who will not qualify for holiday pay, no accurate estimate
is possible except on a general average from past records.
CONTINGENT
In order to provide for the various categories which come under the
Contingent appropriation it is my considered opinion that $17,500 is
the minimum amount that should be appropriated for Contingent. Due
to insufficient funds for the year 1959, shortages have occurred in stock
room supplies and various other articles of equipment. I recommend that
$17,500 be appropriated for Contingent.
UNIFORMS
I request that $6,000 be appropriated for Uniform equipment. The
appointment of additional men, as well as the needs of all other members
of the department will require an expenditure of $6,000 to provide Uni-
form equipment.
ROOM EQUIPMENT
I recommend that $700 be appropriated for Room Equipment. Num-
erous items of rooms equipment must be replaced and additional equip-
ment provided.
PAINTING AND REPAIRS
I recommend that $1,000 be appropriated for Painting and Repairs.
There is a considerable amount of repairs and painting that is necessary
at the three fire stations. A conservative estimate is that it will require
$1,000 to accompish the contemplated repairs.
NEW CHIEF'S CAR
The Chief's Car is a 1955 Packard Sedan and requires considerable
repairs. During the past year it has been out of service on numerous oc�-
casions due to breakdowns, some occurring while responding to fires. The
car in question is no longer made, therefore it is difficult to obtain parts
when necessary to make repairs. I recommend that $2,900 be appropriated
to purchase a.new Chief's car.
168 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
NEW TIRES
An inspection discloses that it will cost approximately $350 to replace
worn tires. I recommend that $350 be appropriated for this purpise.
HOSE
An inventory of hose discloses a serious shortage of hose. The actual
total of 2 1/i inch hose, which is the basic hose used in fire fighting, is
11,800 feet which is listed as follows: (5700 feet good), (2400 feet fair),
(3700 feet poor.) The amount of hose which should be in service and
reserve is 13,800 feet. I recommend that $3,000 be appropriated for the
purchase of new hose.
MEDICAL EXPENSES
There is no actual or definite method to determine with any degree
of accuracy the amount of money necessary for medical expense, how-
ever it is my opinion that a fair estimate would be $1000. I recommend
that $1000 be appropriated for Medical Expense.
OVERTIME PAY
There are occasions when it is necessary, particularly during emer-
gencies, to recall members of the department for emergency duty. To
compensate the members so recalled it is necessary to either give time
off or pay for the time involved. To give time off presents a serious
problem in maintaining department strength and upsets the entire schedule
of assignments. It is my opinion that $2,000 should be appropriated
for Overtime Pay.
OUT OF STATE TRAVEL
The educational value to the Fire Chief in attending Fire Chiefs
conferences is reflected in more efficient administration and management,
as well as improved methods of fire fighting, fire prevention and fire
control. It is my opinion that Fire Chiefs Conferences present an unusal
opportunity for attaining information for general improvements, all
of which are of value in the protection of life and property and the
efficient operation of the Fire Department. I recommend that $150 be
provided for Out of State Travel.
DEPUTY CHIEF
I recommend that one additional Deputy Chief be provided by ap-
pointment, subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of
Civil Service. At the present time there are but three Deputy Chiefs,
and as the 48 hour work week operates there are day and night assign-
ments without a Deputy Chief; vacations and sick leave creates further
absenteeism. It is my recommendation that one Deputy Chief be ap-
pointed from the officer personnel and that each vacancy created be
likewise filled except the grade of Private. It is to be understood that
the recommended promotions would not increase the department's total
personnel.
RADIO COMMUNICATION
At the present time the Fire Department uses the Police Department's
radio frequency and station controls for radio communication, however
after October 31, 1963 the Fire Department must operate under a special
and separate frequency which requires that the Fire Department must
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 169
have its own licensed station and install the equipment therefor.
It is my intention to include in the Fire Department's 1961 budget
a request for an appropriation to install the equipment that shall be
required.
TRAINING
During the year 1959 there were twenty-one new men appointed to
the department due to the change from 56 hour work week to the 48
hour work week, as well as for one death and five retirements on pen-
sion, two of which were as a result of retirements occurring late in 1958.
Under the supervision of Drill Master Captain Walter Starr the
new men received daily instructions and training in all phases of fire
fighting and emergency operations. Arrangements were made with the
Brookline Fire Department for the use of their Drill School where the new
men received extensive training with the adequate facilities available.
All members of the department are required and received daily
instructions, training courses and drill periods throughout the year under
the direction of the Drill Master and department officers.
FIRE PREVENTION
Fire Prevention has proven to be a powerful influence and of great
value in keeping fire losses at a minimum.
Inspections have disclosed numerous hazards and violations. In every
instance where dangerous or hazardous conditions were found the con-
ditions were remedied or removed.
Under the direction of Captain Thomas Joyce, in charge of Fire
Prevention, campaigns have been conducted in the interests of Fire
Prevention with excellent results. Such campaigns have been definite
factors in obtaining results in preventing fires and the tragic results
of same.
RETIREMENTS
During the year 1959 three Fire Fighters, having reached the age of
sixty-five, were retired on pension in accordance with the Town By-Law
and Statute governing same.
Deputy Chief John Devaney, appointed call fire fiighter May 9,
1913 and permanent fire fiighter April 12, 1917. He was appointed Lieuten-
ant April 10, 1934, Captain Dec. 1, 1944 and Deputy Chief May 11, 1953,
and was'retired on pension April 1, 1959.
Arthur Burgess was appointed permanent -firefiighter Dec. 23, 1928
and was retired on pension Feb. 13, 1959.
John Vahey was appointed permanent firefiighter May 10, 1929 and
was retired on pension June 5, 1959.
Deputy Chief John Devaney, Arthur Burgess and John Vahey were
dedicated firefighters and a credit to the service in which they served
with loyalty and devotion. Their retirement is a distinct loss to the Fire
Department. I take this opportunity to extend to our retired comrades
sincere best wishes for health happiness and prosperity in their retirement.
AUXILIARY FIRE DEPARTMENT
The members of the Auxiliary Civil Defense Fire Department con-
tinue to show a great deal of interest in this important segment of
Civil Defense. The members have assisted the regular Fire Department
on numerous occasions and are conscientious in all the endeavors con-
170 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
netted with Civil Defense activities. They have participated in several
contests among Civil Defense Auxiliary Fire Departments with unusual
success.
The interest and sincerity that these men display in their work, and
the efficient manner in which they discharge their duties, is an inspiration
to others and I take this opportunity to publicly commend the members
of the Auxiliary Civil Defense Fire Department.
IN MEMORIAM
CHARLES J. MORRILL JOHN W. O'HEARN
Charles J. Morrill was appointed Firefighter August 9, 1954 and died
in the performance of his duty April 13, 1959.
Charles Morrill, while working at a serious fire at the East Junior
High School, collapsed from over-exertion and was taken to the Mt.
Auburn Hospital where he died soon after being admitted. He was an
excellent, conscientious firefighter, and we sincerely regret his untimely
death. In behalf of the members of the Fire Department I extend to
his family our sincere sympathy.
John W. O'Hearn was appointed to the Fire Department as a substi-
tute call-man on October 1, 1895; promoted to call-Lieutenant May 1,
1899; promoted to call-Captain in 1900; promoted to call-Assistant
Chief in 1911 and on May 1, 1912 he was appointed Permanent Chief.
On November 29, 1944, he was retired on pension.
John W. O'Hearn was the first permanent Chief of the Watertown
Fire Department and the first Fire Chief in the Commonwealth to be
placed under Civil Service. Under his administration the Fire Department
was completely motorized and modernized.
On his retirement from the Fire Department he was elected Select-
man and served in this capacity from March 1945 to March 1948.
Chief O'Hearn's passing is a distinct loss to our community, however
he shall long be remembered as an outstanding public spirited citizen
whose devotion to duty and loyalty to his fellow-man shall be an in-
spiration to all who knew him.
CONCLUSION
It is my desire to provide the community with the highest quality
of service, therefore we are redoubling our efforts to improve fire fighting
techniques, as well as all emergency operations that we may have to
contend with, confident that our progress in service will reflect in lower
fire losses and effective improvements in services.
I take thie opportunity to thank the members of the Board of
Selectmen for their cooperation and assistance. I also extend my thanks
to all members of the department and to all branches of the Town
Qovernment for the sincere cooperation given me and the Fire Depart-
ment in the year 1959.
Respectfully submitted,

In compliance with the by laws of the Town of Watertown the
Board of Park Commissioners herewith submit its annual report for'the*.
year ending December 31, 1959.
With the passing of each year the Park Department seems to attain
greater milestones. Last year marked the opening of a new field house at
the West Junior High Playground at Westminster Avenue which brought
a great deal of happiness to the citizens of that area. This added to the
one at Victory Field brought relief to over crowded conditions.
This brick building is complete in every detail providing enough
locker and shower facilities for sixty-five boys. Rest rooms are provided
for spectator attended events. We have provided a walk and gate opening
making it more accessible for participants using the courts and rink. For
added protection for the ball players a new four foot fence was erected
the full length of the building and joins the tennis fence.
It was most fitting that the Park Commission sponsored an Old
Timer's Night at Victory Field last August for it brought back to the
field many of the ball players who roamed the Watertown Playgrounds
twenty and thirty years ago. At this game our field houses were dedicated-
to the memory of two of Watertown's two most famous athletes, Edward
Cousineau and Ernest Ford.
It is our hope that. possibly in the near future another field house
similar in size to the existing building at Westminister Avenue will he
constructed in the East section of the town.
Ic- skating gained in popularity last season therefor the commis-
sioners deemed it necessary to add still another rink to their present six.
The new rink which is also marked off and used for basketball is located
at Arlington Field. At.the other end of town, the area of the Parker Play-
ground has been completely resurfaced for skating and basketball. A new
green-color type of sealer was patented and produced by a nieghboring
manufacturer. It gives a very bright illuminating appearance and this
was applied 'to the Parker Playground area. If this proves satisfactory
the board plans to seal.all .the rinks with this_genite solution.
It was decided to change the basketball back boards and poles to a
less dangerous -type- and transfer them from the hard topped section to
the grassed 'area to facilitate plowing in the snowy season.
172 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
A few years ago the commissioners experimented with a smaller
children's play area which was completely fenced in. Parents welcomed
the idea because it set off a section of the playground for children under
five years of age. The children could be kept under the watchful eye of a
parent or playground supervisor. These Tot Lots are equipped with two
sizes of swings, slides ,jungle gyms, see saws, merry-go-rounds, and benches.
Since the first Tot Lot was installed the Commission has included in
their budget appropriations for tit least two a year. Some of those years
only one has been approved by the Town Meeting. The past year we
were able to erect one at the Coolidge Playground and one at the Parker
Playground. If this years budget is approved we will erect one at the
East Junior Playground and one at the Arlin.-ton Street Field.
W.-th the outdoor season again close at hand the department plans
to have operating drinking fountains at each playground. In the past
season a great deal of work was performed by the department to lay pipe
across Victory Field so that a fountain could be installed at the little
league field.
During the winter months the men spend their time in the new work
shop repairing and painting the football bleaches, overhauling the summer
machinery and building the concrete forms for benches. Also during the
winter the men go out in sometimes sub-zero temperature to keep the
rinks filled with water.
At this time I would like to publicly thank all the members of the
Park Department for their untiring efforts and the members of the Com-
mission for their friendly co-operation.
Sincerely
JAMFS C. CAVALEN, Chairman
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS
The following is the annual report of the Superintendent of the Parks
for the year 1959.
Due to the elements of nature, extra burden was placed on the
men in regards to work. During the winter months an abnormal amount
of skating took place, starting on December the first to March the fifth
on seven skating rinks. This, of course, meant more spraying and plo.wing
Interior work consisted of making cement forms for benches, painting
and repaying football bleachers, little league fences, broken swings, plus
the usual cleaning and painting of the interior of the field houses.
Since the summer months were rainy, there was more grass cutting to
be done. Meanwhile the usual baseball activities continued such as up-
keep of the recreation program, Junior High, High School, little league,
Babe Ruth League, tennis, etc.
At this time I wish to thank the Board for their many courtesies
and privileges allowed, also the secretary, the heads of other departments
for their help, and lastly each employee of the Park Department.
Respectfully submitted,

the Police Department and with a view to detecting possible violations
,
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 179
of the laws or regulations governing a specific licenPe, the License Bureau
made 975 physical inspections of licensed premises during the year.
'All complaints concerning the manner in which a licensee conducted
his business were investigated thoroughly. If the complaint was well-
founded, the licensee was warned against a recurrence of the violation.
In cases where this would not suffice, a letter was sent to the Board of
Selectmen requesting disciplinary action or proceedings were instituted
against the licenlsee in criminal court. During the year 1959 it was neces-
sary to prosecute for the following violations in licensed establishments&

Immediate action on all information received; thorough investigation
of all complaints concerning gaming activities and continuous surveillance
of all persons known to have been engaged in gaming activities in the past,
has resulted in the virtual non-existence of a gaming problem within the
town.
During the year the following cases were instituted in the Waltham
District Court as a result of complaints brought by this department:

This department conducted an investigation into the use of a certain
type coin-operated amusement device which was ruled a "gaming machine"
by the United States Department of Internal Revenue. After a conference
with the Director of the Bureau of Standards and the Honorable Board
of Selectmen, we recommended that licenses for such machines not be
renewed for 1960. This recommendation was approved and all such ma-
chines have been removed.

REPORT OF TREE DEPARTMENT
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Watertown, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Tree Warden for the
year ending December 31, 1959.
Approximately one hundred and eighty-seven (187) trees were planted
this spring in various sections of the Town — a number of these were
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 189
replacements. All these trees were planted in fresh loam, fertilized and
secured to a stake to hold them firm until the roots could get a good
start. Most of these trees leaved out and were growing by the end of
the summer.
We have sprayed the trees on private properties for Earwigs, Poison
Ivy and Japanese Beetles whenever requested to do so by the owners
and the cost of this private work was charged to the owners on their
annual tax bill.
Ninety (90) decayed and injured trees were removed during the
year and forty-four (44) of these had Dutch Elm Disease.
Your Tree Warden is a legislature officer of the Massachusetts Tree
Wardens and Foresters' Association and is Past President of the Middle-
sex County Tree Wardens and Moth Superintendents' Association and
has obtained valuable information in the care of your trees at the vari-
ous meetings and conferences.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Select-
men for their co-operation during the year.
Acknowledgements are made to the various Town Departments —
Wire, Highway, Park, Water, Cemetery and School Departments for as-
sisting the Tree Department this year. My appreciation to the Metropoli-
tan Transit Authority, Boston Edison Company and the New England
Telephone & Telegraph Company for their help in topping trees in this
town — thereby saving the Town of Watertown hundreds of dollars.
To the members of my own Department, I take this opportunity to
commend you for your loyal and faithful service. My heartiest thanks to
all who in any way assisted me during this past year.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS P. MORLEY
Tree Warden
VETERANS' SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Administration Building
Watertown, Mass.
Gentlemen:
Expenditures for Veterans' Benefits in 1959 were less by $70M.84 than
in 1958, indicative of a period of higher employment and broader entitle-
ment to other benefits such as Social Security, V.A. pensions and private
retirement programs .The number of cases aided fluctuated from sixty-
five to one hundred and fifteen at various times during the year with over
190 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
three hundred cases processed in that period. The cost per case continues
to increase with hospital and nursing home rates ever climbing.
The first recovery under the Real Estate Lien law, enacted in 1958,
was effected in December of 1959, and there were several substantial re-
coveries under assignments of Workmen's Compensation, and auto acci-
dent claims where need for assistance existed initially, but where there
was an ultimate financial settlement covering the same period of time.
A broader and vastly changed V.A. pension program was announced
during the year to take effect January 1, 1960, which makes eligible, for
the first time, WW II and Korean widows having incomes within certain
limits. The town will benefit by being able to reduce the amount of as-
sistance in several cases ,when this change goes into effect.
Our service work continues to increase, now that most citizens rea-
lize that all veteran's problems of whatever nature can be handled locally,
with competent advice available, and all necessary forms on hand.
We again make a plea for additional office space since our program
requires extensive record keeping, and it is not physically possible to cram
additional files into our small accomodations. It is not frequent for persons
to have to stand while awaiting to be served, due to the absence of
proper reception area. The lack of space between the desks constitutes a
constant injury hazard to employees.
Excellent cooperation with other town officials and employees was
enjoyed and we are especially grateful to the personnel of the Welfare
Department, with whom we work closely on many occasions .
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. CORBETT
Agent
REPORT OF
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION DEPARTMENT
Board of Selectmen
Town of Watertown
Administration Building
Watertown 72, Mass.
Dear Sir:
Herewith is respectfully submitted the report of the Workmen' Com-
pensation Department for the year 1959.
The total number of accidents to employees and reported by the
various Town Departments amounted to 103 and this was reduction of
two reported in the year 1958. The majority of these cases required just
medical expenses. There were medical expenses and disability payments
in 18 of these cases.
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 191
At the end of 1959 we are carrying 10 cases of which two we have
had since 1953, one since 1957, five since 1958 and two from 1959.
Four of these cases are retired Town employees and one the family
of a deceased Town employee.
There are two cases pending before the Industrial Accident Board
of which we are not now making any payments.
The expenses of the Department required an additional appropriation
of $18,000 for the year 1959.
The most courteous and usual cooperation was received from the
Town Departments, employees and Town physicians.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN P. MEEHAN

REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT
Honorable Board of Selectmen
Watertown, Massachusetts
Watertown, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The Annual Report of the Wire Department for the year ending De-
cember 31, 1959 is submitted herewith.
INSPECTIONS
Nine hundred and seven (907) permits for wiring and fixture in-
stallations and seven (7) annual permits for plant operations were issued
during the year. Inspections and re-inspections occasioned by the issuance
of these permits plus inspections of business properties and buildings to
be re-occupied, resulted in approximately thirty-seven hundred (3700)
individual calls. Receipts for permits in the amount of $488.50 has been
paid to the Town Treasurer.
MAINTENANCE
The regular recurrent maintenance work of repairing, testing, oiling,
cleaning and painting of our Fire Alarm, Police and Traffic light systems
was performed. Also repairs on all Town owned equipment and buildings
were made whenever we were able to do so. The supervision of street
lighting was given much time and many corrections made to better
our lighting conditions, especially on Mt. Auburn Street from Main
Street to Boylston Street-West where new 20,000 lumen mercury vapor
lighting was installed. Also the C. D. Signal system has been maintained
and many special lighting programs carried out — such as Christmas
lighting, Recreation lighting, etc.
193 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
DAMAGE TO TOWN PROPERTY
Motor vehicle accidents were responsible for damage to the extent
of $77825 — this includes labor and materials — to Town owned traffic
lights and Fire Alarm cable boxes. In each case, the Town Counsel and
Town Clerk were notified, so as to make claim for recovery of the cost
of damages.
FIRE ALARM HEADQUARTERS
This Division is on a 24 hour a day basis and handled one hundred
and thirty-two (132) alarms of fire from boxes pulled on the street;
seventy-six (76) alarms of fire received by telephone; two thousand
(2000) alarms of fire received over our Mutual Aid circuits; twenty-nine
(29) alarms of fire received over A. D. T. circuits. The following tests
were made by operators; Mutual Aid 6935; Auxiliary Generator 104;
daily circuit test 5175. The operators also transmit No School Signals;
admit officials into the Administration Building after hours and contact
Wire Department personnel after hours for emergency work on Fire
Alarm, Police and Traffic light breakdowns.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Select-
men for the co-operation during the year. Also to the Tree Warden,
Thomas P. Morley and the entire Tree Department for the splendid job
they did in clearing dead limbs, etc., from the Town trees, thereby saving
the Town of Watertown Wire Department and the Utility Companies
many emergency calls.
Acknowledgments are made to the various Town Departments, The
Boston Edison Company and the New England Telephone and Telegraph
Company for the courtesies and co-operation extended to me during the
year.

During the year 1959, General Flooring Company of East Weymouth
refloored the kitchens and bathrooms of 63 apartments, thereby complet-
ing their 1958 contract plus an additional 4 apartments at an additional
cost of $497.00. Thus, during the period 1958-1959, they refloored the
144 wooden apartments for a total contract price of $18,497.00.
The Authority awarded to the lowest bidder, Louis Stella, Inc. of
Arlington, Mass. a contract to replace the underground heating lines (re-
turn and supply) in one of three loops which supplies 50 apartments,
total contract price being $12,917.00. This work was necessitated because
of the numerous breaks which we have had and the added expense of
taking up and patching of this underground pipe.
In 1960, we expect to paint the outside of all 144 wooden apartments,
also do some black-topping under clothes lines, extend sidewalks and
enlarge one parking area. This work has been planned for 1959, but due
to the underground heating emergency, it had to be postponed.
HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY WATERTOWN 667-1
During the year 1959, this Authority obtained an option to buy (with
State Housing Board approval) land on Waverley Ave. Quirk and For-
est Sts. known as the Frank McSherry properties consisting of 33,735
square feet of land for a price of $22,500, this option to expire on Jan-
uary 17, 1960. In conjunction with the land taking and subsequent build-
ing, The Authority employed the services of Attorney Philip Grogan
as legal adviser, and Mr. Edward Sears Read of Boston, as Architect to
draw up plans, etc. for the 40 apartments we hope to build. During De-
cember of 1959, the financing for this development was consummated and
the Authority received $440,000 with which to build the above-mentioned
40 apartments. This Authority hopes to start actual building by March
of 1960.
We are giving below Income and Expense Account and Asset, Li-
abilities, Reserves and Surplus account for the year ending December 31,
1959 on Watertown 200-3C and on Watertown 667-1.

MANAGEMENT PROGRAM CHANGES
At the Authority's request and with State Housing Board approval,
a change was made in the Management program, the tenants' admission
and continued occupancy limits being increased as shown below:
Admission Limits Continued Occupancy
From To Families with Front To
3950 4500 1 Minor dependent 4400 5000
4150 4700 2 do 4600 5200
4350 4900 3 do 4800 5400
The $200 deduction from total family income for each minor de-
pendent child in excess of three in number remained the same.
The rents were changed in relation to the tenant's family income.
The previous percentages for figuring rents of 18010 for family with
one minor child, 16% for 2 minor children and 1417o for family with three
or more minor children, remained the same.
During 1959, the following turnover took place:
Homes purchased 17
Found other rentals 27
New Tenants 44
Evictions 0
Inter-project trans 20
The average shelter rent (not including charges for heat, domestic
hot-water and gas) is approximately $52.06 a month for 228 tenants in
both projects. There has been no vacancy loss during the past year.
CURRENT FINANTCING
The Second Bank-State Street Trust Co. continues as Fiscal Agents
in connection with temporary borrowings.
In connection with the financing of the three Projects, bid was ac-
cepted from First National City Bank of New York and Associates on
$2,272,000 for 200-3C and $440,000 on 667-1 at 2.84% due December 13, 1960.
The Union Market National Bank of Watertown is a depositary in
connection with the purchase and sale of U.S. Treasurery Bills for the
Administration Fund and Cash Account under Watertown 200-3C and
Watertown 667-1.
May I take this opportunity of thanking all the Members of the
Authority, the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the Departments of the
Town and State Housing Board, for their cooperation and assistance in
operating our State-Aided Veterans' Housing Projects and Housing for
the Elderly.
Respectfully,

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 P1
REPORT OF THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT
January 15, 1960
Gentlemen:
Conforming with Chapter 3, Section 2, of the By-Laws of the Town of
Watertown, I hereby submit my annual report for the year ending Decem-
ber 31, 1959. You will observe too, a projected synopsis of they known
factors that should induce such variances such as to bring about the
budgetary figures and changes submitted for the year 1960.
The total expenditure for the year 1959 for all categories and admini-
strative costs was $859,578.73. The Agency was successful in securing from
the State and Federal governments, other cities and towns and individuals,
$671,252.76 thus reducing the community's money outlay to $188,324. 97 or
219°Jo of the total overall expenditure. Our administrative costs as afore-
mentioned were $61,834.57 or approximately .077 of our total aid monies.
It is estimated by experts in the Public Assistance field that to properly
and efficiently spend this amount of money the overall expense for same
should be in the vicinity of 1296 .Here attached is a breakdown showing
complete figures of monies appropriated, expended and received categori-
cally.
A comparative statistical study of case costs in aid monies is also con-
tained herewith, comparing Watertown's Old Age Assistance costs with
the Greater Boston Communities from January 1, 1957 through July, 1959.
Comparative costs and conditions in the other categories appear to be as
healthy, but time prevents statistical experimentation with the lesser
categories.
OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
I estimated that the budget for Old Age Assistance in 1959 would be
$536,734.0,0; 5546,203.06 was spent. A study of all services and grants in aid
proved the primal factor for the increase to be hospital costs, both from a
statutory per diem cost rate and in-patient care step-up. Said expenditures
were $22,583.39 more than in 1958. This further reflects the fact that our
grants in aid to the recipients were necessaritly reduced from an average
of 455 cases in 1958 to an average of 446 for 1959. The average turn-over
on case-load was approximately 30%. It was necessary to use $4,280.00 from
Old Age Assistance Federal administrative funds and $920.00 from Dis-
ability Administration funds coupled with the regular "Federal Grant In
Aid" funds to complete the year on Old Age Assistance.
AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN
I estimated $120,042.00 would be required to meet the demands of
this category in 1959. However, by April it became obvious that difficulties
were presenting themselves that would undoubtedly influence our expendi-
tures negatively. An immediate study exposed that our case load had taken
a sudden jump in February and failed to level off at all until the last
quarter of the year. Our overall average case increase was 13.2 cases in-
cluding 41 more individuals.
198 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
The study further portrayed a generalized deterioration of the cate-
gory as regards its original intent and purpose. For example: Fifteen and
more years ago 85oJo of the cases on Aid to Dependent Children were
widows or the breadwinner was physically or mentally incapitated. The
balance consisted of legally separated, divorced or deserted people and the
remainder incarcerated husbands (fathers). Our recent study revealed that
approximately .148 of our grantee parents widows while the balance (.852)
consists of 23 divorced mothers, 13 legally separated, 9 deserted, 8 illegiti-
macy, 2 husbands incarcerated and 4 incapacitated. The study also in-
dicated that twenty (V) of these cases, oi' better than 266 of our case
load, had the privilege of military settlement, but for one reason or another
were not eligible for Veterans' Services. Lastly, the Agency has collected
monies or reduced recipients' grants in aid because of part or full time
employment, widows' pensions, childrens' contributions, etc., to a figure
approximating $83,64326 per annum. This area is being pursued constantly
and the tempo will be stepped up during 1960 as a result of recent change
in the social work structure of the Agency. Control at this point is ob-
viously imperative, as any let-down automatically induces a spiraling of
our coqW.
Other factors that were studied and may be offered as points of in-
terest from a socio-administrative standpoint, are that the average parent
was 39.1 years of age, the average child 10.8 years. Forty-eight (48) families
rented, twelve (12) shared housing and eleven (11) had ownership. Twentv
(20) at the time or previously, were skilled employees and fifty-one (51)
unskilled. Fifteen (15) parents were employed full or part-time, and the
average grantee parent had completed the tenth (10th) grade of school.
Resultant from the above conditions $4,550.00, was necessarily trans-
ferred from the Aid to Dependent Children Federal Administrative funds,
of which $3,865.13, coupled with our regular "Federal Grants in Aid," per-
mitted us to conclude this program.
DISABILITY ASSISTANCE
Disability Assistance required an expenditure of $79,082.05 for the year
1959. I computed the budget for this category to be $68,298.00, thus ex-
periencing a deficit of $10,784.05.
In June, it became obvious that our expenditures were in advance of
what was anticipated, with the result that a projection formula was de-
veloped. Accordingly, $11,000.00 was transferred to the Disability Assis-
tance Aid account from the Disability and. Old Age Administrative Ac-
counts. July, however, demonstrated a downward trend and it continued
through the end of the year. to the extent that we salvaged a balance of
$4,598.61 in the transferred Federal funds. In the analysis for the projec-
tion formula it was illustrated that medical services, as in Old Age Assis-
tance, were our major difficulty. We spent $12,651.00 more for these serv-
ices in 1959 than in 1958, even though we aided an average of seven (7)
more cases in 1959, thus also proving that our grants in aid to the recipient
was less per capita than in 1958. Wide fluctuations must be expected in
this category more than any other, due to its very essence. Although Dis-
ability Assistance is an explanatory title, the types of case predominating
the category definitely regulate expenditures more than any of the other
three assistance programs. Our expenditures are greatly influenced by
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 199
whether a case is one of total incapacitation of a quiescent nature, without
complications, or one with active complications requiring hospitalization,
drugs, psycho-analysis or therapy and ultimate rehabilitation and of course
we cannot start to anticipate the types and numbers of types of cases in
which we will become involved. This is observed more as time acquaints
both the citizen and the professional with the benefits involved relative to
medical, psychiatric and other rehabilitative services. For example: numer-
ous cases have been aided under this category that never would have
formerly come to our attention, thus bringing about some excellent results
in the areas of generalized and/or specific rehabililation. It might seem at
first glance that this type of assistance and therapy is being invited or
solicited, but it has been proven that our present day economy makes it a
public responsibility but ultimately insures and advances the social
economy of the Communty, because it brings about productivity* where
little or none existed or allows for renewal of productivity where it was
once disrupted. It also provides security and hope for the individual or
unit of which he is a part. The program provides financial economy be-
cause of the participation of the State and Federal governments which is
bringing about a constant reduction in our General Relief costs and pro-
viding a far better quality of service. The Federal balance of $4,598.61
previously mentioned as being salvaged will be used to reduce our 1960
appropriation for Disability Assistance.
GENERAL RELIEF
General Relief has become, over it period of years, what might be
called a residual category because of the expansion of the other three
categories and the specialized services they offer under the law. The func-
tion of the Agency is to utilize Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Chil-
dren and Disability Assistance whenever possible within the confines of
law and rule. This allows, naturally, for better service to the client and
economy to the Community. Generally, payments made in this area of the
program are of a temporary nature such as when a person's unmployment
insurance has not commenced or has ceased or when the needs of the in-
dividual or family cannot be met for one reason or another or any other
sudden or unusual incident that may arise) to threaten the immediate
health or well being of an individual or family unit.
In view of the consistancy in expenditures made in General Relief
over the past three years, I think it now advisable to reduce the appropri-
ation from $43,000.00 to $40,000.00.
CONTINGENT
In 1959 I requested that $3,725.90 be appropriated for contingency
expenses for the year. Instead $2,700.00 was recommended and appropri-
ated. In due course of time it became obvious that said amount would
not be sufficient to safe-guard the main appropriation or permit us to
conform with our duties as set forth in the law. Necessarily $748.39 more
was used from Federal Funds to complete the year. This is one of the
few actual tools that a public assistance agency has at its disposal to curb
losses or maintain proper costs and therefore recommend greater consider-
ation of the matter in 1960.
200 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
SYNOPSIS
At first glance a perusal of the aid figures appearing on the budget
face sheet might seem disconcerting and the average person will more
than merely wonder why Public Assistance costs continue to rise with our
present day economy and high level of employment. The prime reason for
this is the fact that the people, through its various levels of government,
recognize the need of alleviating indigency, in its many forms, to the
greatest possible degree and secondarily because trial and test has proven
these reforms, in the end, economical. Naturally ,some inflationary trends
prevail in Public Assistance as in the more normal modes of life.
It is obvious, from studying all welfare services individually, the medi-
cal care in all its phases has been responsible for our total rise in costs
and they will be higher again in 1960 with hospitalization being our great-
est threat. On December 31st, we received notice from the State Depart-
ment of Public Welfare establishing new higher per diem rates for hos-
pitalization which when projected through 1960 will add $8,000.00 to
$10,000.00 more to our overall expenditures. Additionally, it must be re-
membered that the elderly are steadily becoming more numerous and
naturally with age, require greater medical service. Despite the upward
trend in some areas of the 1960 budget, the entire program, as laid out,
and when Federal Funds are properly employed, our overall increase is
not expected to exceed 1959 by more than $4,000.00 or about .0047.
The participation of the State and Federal Governments, on these
programs, further confuses the lay person or inexperienced public official
or committee member. To experience a clearer picture of the Public As-
sistance Program the statistical breakdown herewith attached and afore-
mentioned must be observed. It should, too, be understood that the
"Federal Grants in Aid" are not granted in lump sums but as a result of
each individual case being audited monthly from highly statistical report-
ings and a"grant in aid" made on each case depending upon the individual
payments to the clientele. The State Funds are reimbursements because
they are originally contained in our appropriation. Therefore Federal
funds are used to supplement our appropriations when received whereas
State reimbursements go directly into our excess and deficiency fund.
Respectfully,
JOSEPH F. MURRAY
Director

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
OF THE WATERTOWN FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Citizens of Watertown:
As the Library completes another year, its ninety-second, we find all
departments getting increasing use by the public.
Our physical facilities are in excellent shape except for recurrent
maintenance needs on our older buildings.
Increased use of the new section of the Main Library has brought, as
expected, need for additional staff in order that all sections may be prop-
erly covered during the long hours (60 per week) that the Library is open.
The Chairman's Report last year spoke of the problem of salaries and
of the Board's relations with the Advisory Board of Review. Our request
to the Town Meeting that the Library be excluded from Chapter 10 was
denied by the Town Meeting.
The Town Meeting did, however, vote portions of the salary schedule
which the Trustees requested but did not go far enough to insure con-
tinuance of a professionally competent staff.
The Trustees have, therefore, again presented to the Advisory Board
the salary schedules requested last year. Although the law requires that
the Advisory Board present its report before December 31, at the time
of writing this report (January 4) I have not had word of their recom-
mendations. In any event, the matter of Library salaries will be pre-
sented to the Town Meeting again this year.
The discussions last year revealed a wide-spread misapprehension
on the part of many members of the Advisory Board, the Finance Com-
mittee, and the Town Meeting, of the functions of the professional staff
of the Library.
The professional staff serves as advisers in book selections to par-
ents and to teachers in public and parochial schools, to children, to
readers in the general area, and in particular to the young adult group. It is
with the high school age group that the Library has made the most
progress in the few years since the opening of the young adults' reading
and reference room.
We lost a highly sucessful young adult librarian this year to a better
paying job. A subsequent resignation will make this position again vacant
in February. This key position of influence will be very difficult to fill
at our present salary.
Other professionals assist those seeking reference materials, — stu-
dents as well business and professional people in town, and those follow-
ing interests as recreation.
Another professional job, probably the hardest to fill, is cataloging.
The availabilty of our 140,000 volumes is at the mercy of the cataloger.
Only through prompt and accurate cataloging can the resources of the
Library be made available to users.
208 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
All of these positions require graduation from college and a pro-
fessional school and are fully equal in their requirements to positions
in teaching service in the schools. It is the opinion of the Trustees
that salary scales in the professional service of the library should be
in the same range as that of those who are teaching in the town schools.
Watertown has a tradition of strong support for its library. Sixteen
thousand of our residents (more than 40111o) have library cards. Probably
no other department in town renders daily service to so many of our
citizens. Surely with the constantly expanding activity of the town in
the areas of recreation and education, the Library, a basic resource in
both fields, must play an increasing part.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library:
The 92nd Annual Report of the Watertown Free Public Library is
herewith submitted.
The year 1959 began with the position of Head Cataloger unfilled
and in addition three resignations were received in the summer.
Mr. Theodore Johnson resigned his position as Young Adult Librarian
to become Head Librarian of the Waterville, Maine, Public Library. Mrs.
Lauretta Hiles, a graduate of Boston University who will soon receive
her Simmons College Library School degree, was appointed to the posi-
tion of Young Adult Librarian. Miss Jean Fairgrieve, a graduate of
Wellesley College, was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the pro-
motion.
Mrs. Suzanna Thieblot resigned her position of General Assistant,
Main Library. Miss Regina Krajewski, a Radcliffe College graduate, was
appointed to the vacancy.
Mrs. Audrey Bryant Burns resigned as Assistant Librarian, East
Branch Library, to accept a position in the College of Liberal Arts Li-
brary, Boston University. This vacancy was filled by promoting Mrs. Doris
Johnson of the East Branch Library staff, a Simmons Library School
graduate, to the position. The vacancy thus created was filled by the
appointment of Miss Joan Malatesta, a Boston University graduate, to
the East Branch Library Staff.
The Library was without a Head Cataloger for two months while a
backlog of work accumulated, but in February Mrs. Judith Greenfield
a graduate of Simmons College Library School, was appointed to the
position.
The turnover in positions was caused in great part by the fact that
two key people resigned to go where salary remunerations were much
higher than in this Library. Thus, we found that we could not retain
two very valuable staff members and that for the same reason we had
great difficulty in filling the position of Head Cataloger.
In spite of the dislocations caused by changes in positions, the
staff carried on with good spirit and business-wise the year was a good one.
324,670 books were lent for home use, an increase of 18,069 over 1958.
Of, this increase, 7,541 were adult books, 8,548 were juvenile books and
1,980 were books lent to the schools. The increase in the circulation of
juvenile books occurred at the Main Library and all Branch Libraries.
However, in the use of adult books the Main Library alone had an increase
of 8,766 while the East Branch Library and the North Branch Library each
suffered a slight loss which reduced the total adult gain for the whole
system. The branches still have unsolved parking difficulties which affect
adult use of these fine branches somewhat. Adult books borrowed at the
Main Library were 58.55% non-fiction, while for the whole library system
they were 51.88010 non-fiction.
210 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Last year's report indicated a phenomenal increase in the amount
of reference work asked for and received by townspeople and the reasons
for it were analyzed. This year the Reference Department had an even
busier year as the table of statistics below indicates:
REFERENCE DEPARTMENT — 1959
Telephone Information Research Not found Total
1959 1751 9081 274 117 11,223
1958 1361 8449 320 62 10,192
+390 +632 —4.6 +55 +1,031
The Young Adult Room (working with the pupils in the 9th grade
through high school) took care of 4,083 reference questions. Beginning in
September 1958, the young adult circulation was counted separately so
that it is not possible to compare the 1959 circulation with a full year
in 1958. In 1960, comparisons with the year before will be possible. How-
ever, we know that use of the Room was broad and varied. Young peo-
ple came there for material relating to school assignments, to find books
for book reports, and to enjoy the room and all it offers. Altogether
the Department has been steadily used during the year.
Again this year, I must emphasize that the Library's Music & Art
Room is not realizing its potentiality and that it never will until the
time arrives when the Main Library staff is large enough so that a
staff' member can be assigned there most of the time. There are many
hours during the week when this room is unsupervised. A room of books
or other materials does not make a library. Library patrons need assist-
ance. They have difficulty in finding what they want. When no profes-
sional librarian is available to greet them, to discuss their interests, and
to stimulate the borrowing of materials, use of facilities decreases. This
is the situation in our Music & Art Room and it is a great pity because
the room is most attractive, the niusci record collection is a fine one and so
are the music and art books. We must realize that we cannot make
this unattended room properly useful to patrons who do use it, neither
can we hope to widen its use. It is to be hoped that the library will
be successful in its effort to secure two additional staff members this
year so that more professional help can be assigned to the Music & Art
Room.
The heart of any library is its record of holdings, that is its bibli-
ographic tool, the card catalog. This is because it is only through the
card catalog together with various bibliographic indexes that the pro-
fessional staff is able to find material that is often hidden in the fastness
of a book or periodical, and to do reference work of a high order_
Therefore a strong Catalog Department is vital to the success of the
Library. The annual report of the Head Cataloger is quoted below be-
cause it so clearly shows the technical aspects of work done in that De-
partment, work that can only be accomplished by technically trained
personnel.
The major improvement in cataloging procedure for 1959 consisted
in the introduction of multiple order forms for the cataloging of new
adult and young adult,,non-fiction. Through the use of these forms, the
ANNUAL REPORTS. 1959 211
order for Library of Congress cards is now placed simultaneously with
the book order. As a result, Library of Congress cards for at least one
half of the new books are on file in the catalog room prior to the ar-
rival of the books themselves. The heavy stock card of the multiple
order form is used as a temporary catalog card for those books still
awaiting Library of Congress cards. Consequently, it is no longer necessary
to hold up any adult or young adult book in the catalog room beyond
the normal processing period.
A second development in 1959 was the purchase of the Library of
Congress Subject Heading List. Due to the extensive use of those subject
headings suggested on the Library of Congress cards, the Sears list
seemed inadequate for original cataloging. The cataloger is now in the
process of making the Library of Congress list into a subject authority
file, which, when finished, should prove a valuable cataloging tool.
The purchase of red flags for use in the master catalog has increased
the speed of revision of filing and has eliminated unsatisfactory filing
"on the rod."
Two projects which had been undertaken by previous catalogers were
concluded in 1959. The Cutter classification outline was completed, and
the catalog room manual was revised and brought up-to-date. The out-
line and the manual are both indispensable aids in learning catalog room
routine.
Finally, two files have been prepared for the cataloging of children's
books — a subject authority file and an authority file for authors in
juvenile fiction."
In previous reports the various activties of the Children's Department
were covered in detail. These activities were continued this year as meth-
ods of attracting children to the Main Library and Branches.
Two special things deserve mention. The mechanical charging of
books was installed in all Children's Departments in 1959, thus the whole
library system is operating with mechanical book charging now. In addition
to the benefits obviously inherent in the mechanical charging of books,
an important side effect was felt. The installation of these machines had
a stimulating effect on the use of children's departments. Children came
in great numbers to convert their old borrowers cards to the new charge
plate cards, many new registrations were received, and the circulation of
books increased appreciably in all libraries.
The Children's Departments carried out a special educational project
this year. Working with Miss Elizabeth Cusick, Remedial Reading
Supervisor of the Public Schools, a meeting was held attended by a
teacher from each elementary school, two remedial reading teachers and
four children's librarians. The group discussed ways of making reading more
attractive to the slow reader, particularly those in Grades 4, 5, and 6,
as children in these grades need unusual guidance and help in securing
their reading materials.
As a result, once a month a collection of new books selected by the
Supervisor of Work with Children was sent to the elementary schools
by the Main Library or the Branch Library nearest to the schools. In
conjunction with the collections, a mimeographed list of the titles was
posted on bulletin boards in the schools, in classrooms and in teachers'
rooms. In addition, a basic list of books for Grades 4 through Grade 6
212 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
consisting of about 70 titles was compiled for distribution. The project
was an experiment and some flaws were discovered in it, namely, that
the collections were too small. The project will be continued in 1960
with necessary adjustments.
Minor repairs of all library buildings were taken care of. In addi-
tion, new copper gutters were installed over the bay window in the ref-
erence room of the Main Library building. All the gutters need re-
placing ultimately, but those over both sides of the book stacks should
receive immediate attention.
Very fine modern lighting fixtures were installed in the main floor
area of the East Branch Library, thus eliminating the poor lighting which
was such a harship to both public and staff for years. Installation of the
fixtures was done in a most efficient way by the Wire Department. The
Library is most appreciative of the cooperation it has received from
this Department.
Watertown participated in National Library Week with a particularly
successful program organized by Mrs. Jerome Weisner who served as
Local Chairman. Fine cooperation was given by local individuals and
groups.
The opening feature of National Library Week was a concert held
in the new wing of the Main Library by the Watertown Elementary
Schools Orchestras consisting of seventy pieces. This orchestra was con-
ducted by the Director of Music Education, Mr. Richard Hagopian;
the Director of Elementary School Instrumental Music, Miss Alice
Burge; and the Director of the Watertown School Band, Mr. John E. Hahn.
The feature at the East Branch Library was singing by the Hosmer
School Glee Club, and at the North Branch Library by the Lowell School
Clee Club, both conducted by Mr. Carol Thorne, Jr.
Mr. Robert Chase, a former trustee, arranged to have the Watertown
Rotary Club hold its regular luncheon meeting in the Pratt Room of
the Main Library. Following the luncheon and brief comments by the
Chairman of the Library Trustees, the Librarian, and the Chairman for
National Library Week, Rotary members were divided into three groups
for a tour of the library. In the various departments a staff member
spoke briefly.
A family sing was held in the Music Department. Four local folk
song leaders, namely Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Marcotte, Mrs. Alice Aronow
and Mr. Sam Berman, sang songs which were found in the library's
section of folk song music. An audience of fifty or sixty people including
parents and children joined in the singing. An illustrated trip to Russia
was the feature held in the Young Adult Room. The speaker was Miss
Luliona Barker.
The Children's Theatre Dramatic Group of the Recreation Depart-
ment directed by Mrs. Benson Sheff presented in the schools all over the
Town, short plays and dances adapted from stories and poems which
they had selected from books in the Library.
The Watertown Garden Club furnished plants for all library buildings.
The Watertown Art Association exhibited a large collection of the work
of members at the Main Library. Mr. Rupert Baker, President of the
Watertown Retail Board of Trade, made contact with banks and stores
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 213
in all parts of town to secure window space for book displays prepared
by the Library. Churches cooperated with announcements in their bul-
letins and from their pulpits. Much space was given to National Library
Week in local newspapers.
The public relations value of National Library Week in bringing the
Library to the attention of the townspeople was unmistakable. Immediate
gains were discernible in greatly increased circulation figures for the
month of April. Registration of business men showed an increase also.
Library legislation was of interest to Massachusetts libraries in 1959,
and one bill was a matter of some concern to Watertown. This was Sen-
ate Bill 5-547 which, if passed, would have levied assessments on thirteen
communities (Watertown included) comprising the Metropolitan Transit
area for non-resident use of the reference services of the Boston Public
Library. This Bill passed the Senate but failed to pass the House, where
legislators had been alerted to its detrimental effect on local library
appropriations by you, the Trustees of this Library, many other Boards
of Library Trustees, mayors and selectmen.
House Bill 1361, an act to provide general state aid to Libraries,
which you the Trustees supported, failed to pass. A more detailed and
mature state aid to libraries bill will be brought before the legislature in
1960.
A good result of the opposed Senate Bill 547 was that librarians of
some thirty-eight libraries in the Metropolitan area began to meet to
discuss and explore areas of library cooperation and coordination. Out
of this came an organization called the Metropolitan Boston Library
Planning Council whose purpose is to provide continuous planning on
the library problems of the Metropolitan area for better library service.
Your Librarian was elected Vice-President of this group.
This year fines on overdue books amounted to $5,707.26. At two cents
per day for overdue adult books and one cent per day for juvenile books,
it is obvious that a surprising number of books were retained beyond their
normal lending period. It is also obvious that the fine assessed, not for
punitive reasons but to secure the return of town property, does not seem
to be effective. The question arises should fines be increased appreciably,
or the lending period be changed. It should be remembered that for each
overdue book an overdue notice is mailed out, and that as many as
four notices are sent if a book is not returned. After that, the matter is
put in the hands of the police. Taking care of overdue notices is an ex-
pensive clerical operation even though multiple overdue forms are in use.
In this connection it is of interest that the Council on Library Re-
sources, Incorporated, is concerned "with the frequency of manual rou-
tines in libraries which would undoubtedly — if library work were a
competitive profit and loss operation — have long ago given way to
mechanisms" The Council on Library Resources, Incorporated, an in-
dependent non-profit body incorporated in the District of Columbia
was established at the instance of the Ford Foundation which has made
a grant of 5 million dollars to be expended over a five year period. Its
objectives in part are stated: "for the purpose of aiding in the eolution
of the problems of libraries generally . . . conducting research in, develop-
ing and demonstrating new techniques and methods, and to disseminate
through any means the results thereof."
214 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Among other grants, such as that to the National Microfilm Associ-
ation, that for the legal study of problems of photo-copying in libraries,
for the study of machine indexing, for experimental study of electronic
library equipment, the Council has granted funds for the study of library
book charging systems. The preliminary report states that although
many types of mechanical book charging systems are in operation in
libraries, no one system has succeeded in reducing the clerical steps while
at the same time retaining all the information needed by libraries. The
preliminary report also indicates that ultimately automatic equipment will
be available for the four major problem areas: book preparation, registra-
tion, charging and discharging, and the processing of overdue books.
I can think of nothing more important to the Library than the auto-
mation of the routines inherent in the control of the book stock and the
borrower, for it is these routines, many of which are still handled in front
of the public, which make it so difficult to separate the clerical aspects
of the work from the professional in the public mind. They actually pro-
ject an image of the Library so false that it is bound tot adversely effect
action on the Library's professional salary schedules.
It will be some time before these mechanical aids are available. Mean-
while, thought is now being given to the advisability of moving those
sections of the main desk concerned with manual discharging of books
at the Main Library into the work room behind the desk. If this is done,
only the mechanical charging of books and part of the routine relating
to the registration of borrowers will be taken care of at the main desk.
Professional assistance to the borrower will be handled from a small
desk moved into the area.
I believe that this method is the proper one for a step will have been
made in divorcing professional services from clerical routines, but it
can only be put into effect if the Library is successful in securing the
money for the Library Assistant (non-professional) which the Trustees
are requesting in the 1960 budget.
At this time I should like to recommend to you, the Trustees, that
a Friends of the Library Group be formed in Watertown. Many Friends
of the Library Groups have been organized in Massachusetts which have
benefited libraries tremendously in all kinds of ways, notably perhaps, in
broadening citizen understanding of the library as a cultural and ed-
ucational institution of the first order.
I trust that this report, together with the statistical information
appended, will indicate to you and to the townspeople the scope of the
work handled by the Library this past year. I am confident that the
Library served successfully as the Town's information center; that its
reference services and its book stocks were drawn on heavily by boys
and girls, young men and young women, from the elementary grades
through college; that it reached into the daily lives of men and women
using the library for general reading, for self-improvement, for help in
home making or success in business. Above all else, I hope that this
report has made it clear that the townspeople using the library need
and look for professional assistance. They cannot use the library profit-
ably without it. The materials are here, the information is here, but it
is the professional staff with its knowledge of books and the techniques
of finding information that makes the library useful.
The following paragraph is quoted from the "Preliminary Statement
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 215
of Revised Standards for Public Libraries" of the Public Library Divi-
sion of the American Library Association:
"The public library has become an essential instrument of our com-
mon life. As a democracy, we make major decisions through widespread
criticism participation. The public library is at hand to provide free
access for all to the reliable current facts, to the background of reasoned
opinion, and to the deeper insights which enable public decisions to be
wise as well as popular. As a free society, we strive to make opportunity
for the good things of life widely shared. The public library stands at
the community crossroads, serving not any single group, but young and
old, rich and poor, with the means of occupational growth and the en-
richment of personal life in hours of leisure.
"The public library has thus won its place as an institution perform-
ing a unique and indispensable service to our society. It is a proud
American achievement."
In closing I want to thank you, the Board of Library Trustees, for
your continuing support. To the Staff and to the Building Custodians,
I extend thanks for the contribution each has made to the work of the
year.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of Watertown:
The Board of Health wishes to submit to the Citizens of Watertown
the report of the Health Officer for the year ending December 31, 1959.
The regular monthly and special meetings were held by the Board to
carry out the regular and special functions of the Health Department.
The Department completed several clinics during 1959; namely, the
Mantoux Tuberculin Testing program for all Watertown school children,
teachers and personnel (public, parochial and private), from March 2
through May 29, 1959. Mobile Chest X-ray Unit was engaged to X-ray
positive reactors and their contacts. These were persons who were unable to
be X-rayed at the Middlesex County Sanatorium, due to working hours
conflicting with clinic hours. Also completed were Anti-Polio Clinics for
pre-school children and adults 20 to 40 years of age on May 13 and 14 and
June 15 and 16, 1959. A Restaurant Educational Conference was given
for owners and managers of eating and drinking establishments on May
13 and 14, 1959. Anti-Rabies Clinics were held on June 11, 12 and 13,
1959. Anti-Polio Booster Clinics for all school children and school per-
sonnel were conducted November 16 through 25 and November 30 through
December 12, 1959. The Board feels quite gratified in the knowledge that
all children and adults have had the opportunity to become immunized
against the dreaded disease.
The Board wishes to extend their thanks and appreciation to all
members of the Health Department and personnel under its jurisdiction,
for the cooperation extended during the past year. They also wish to
extend their gratitude to the Middlesex Tuberculosis and Health Asso-
ciation and to the School Department, their physicians, nurses and teach-
ers for their very willing assistance in the immunization programs. Thanks
also to the medical services, parent-teacher association and to all other
Town government personnel, who so kindly volunteered their services.
Respectfully submitted,

PREVENTIVE MEDICINE
Several clinics were held at all schools and at the Administration
Building. Mantoux testing for tuberculosis was done on all school children
and school personnel, followed by complete follow-up of all positive
reactors and their contacts. There was only one positive active case
of tuberculosis found. He is now being treated by his family physician.
Arrangements were made with the Middlesex County Sanatorium au-
thorities to have X-rays of positive reactors taken and read in their
clinic, thereby saving the Health Department a considerable sum of
money. Due to the inability of some positive reactors or their contacts
to fulfill daytime appointments, a Mobile X-ray Unit was engaged through
the Middlesex Tuberculosis and Health Association for one day and
evening to accommodate these persons. Results were as follows:
Mantoux TB Testing Program—All Watertown Schools
March 2 — May 29, 1959
No. Tested Positive X-Ray Report
Personnel 268 48 All negative
Students 7,124 69 1 Positive
Total 7,392 117
Mobile Chest X-ray Unit — July 6, 1959-160 persons X-rayed
158 found negative
1 cardiac condition found
1 known cardiac condition
reported
There were several anti-polio clinics held for adults and pre-school
children at the Administration Building for those who had not received
their third or fourth inoculation. Clinics were held on May 13 and 14
and June 15 and 16, 1959, at which time, a total of 2,959 inoculations
was given. A series of anti-polio clinics were held at all the schools,
public, parochial and private, for children and school personnel who
previously had nob had the booster shot. It was necessary for the Health
Department to finance all these clinics, as the Polio Foundation was
out of funds and could not extend any financial assistance. These clinics
were held from November 16 through December 10, 1959, at which time,
4,361 students and 170 school personnel were done, a total of 4,531 in-
oculations.
A Restaurant Sanitation Educational Conference was held in May
for owners and managers of eating and drinking establishments. This
conference was very disappointing as to attendance and interest. This
project was again accomplished with the assistance of educators on the
staff of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. It seems quite
evident that more must be done in this field. The only way that this
can be accomplished would be by personal contact.
In order to do this, added personnel would be necessary. Up to the
present time, there is only one sanitarian on the Health Department staff.
He is trying to cover several phases of sanitation work, including all
laboratory analyses. The laboratory was again approved by the State
Department of Public Health, Division of Food and Drugs and the
Lawrence Experimental Station. The results of the 2-day Restaurant
Educational Conference, held on May 13 and 14, 1959, are as follows:
ANNU'Al, REPORTS, 1959 223
98 Invitations were sent; 4 establishments were represented for 1 ses-
sion; 5 establishments were represented with 7 persons attending 2
sessions, with the result that certificates were issued to the 7 per-
sons who completed the 2-day conference.
The yearly Anti-Rabies Clinics were conducted on June 11, 12 and
13, 1959, at which time, 704 dogs were inoculated, an increase of 58 over
last year.

Approval granted by Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, Babcock
Test.
In addition to functions of an investigative nature in the field and ana-
lytical in the laboratory, a considerable amount of time was spent by
the Sanitarian (Health Inspector) in the field of Health Education inso-
far as it pertains to environmental sanitation.
DENTAL CLINICS
The smoothly operating dental clinics in Watertown's public and
parochial schools, during the calendar year 1959, mark the culmination
of a program which had its genesis some two decades ago.. In its realization,
we have been witness to a steady progression from the days when its
main function was to care for the many dental painful emergencies which
were a common occurrence during those depression years to the present
when toothaches are a rarity in our daily clinical sessions. Futhermore,
the fulfillment of its original aim in form of dental public health educa-
tion with consequent reawakening of parents to the needs in the mouths
of our youngsters has become a reality as evidenced by the dentistry in
their mouths which is still progressing steadily both in quantity and quality.
Needless to say, none of this could be possible without the unselfish
cooperation of the members of the Board of Health and the Health De-
partment, the School Department personnel, the Cemetery Department
and the harmonious dental clinic itself.
During the year 1959, the clinics played its customary annual role
in visiting the following schools: Parker, Browne, Coolidge, Marshall
Spring, Lowell, Phillips, Hosmer, Cunniff, Sacred Heart and St. Patrick's.
Statistics which naturally do not bespeak the entire benefits follow:
Examinations 4,281
Fillings 2,181
Extractions 109
Treatments 108
Prophylaxes 604
Ai\'UAL REPORTS, 1959 227
PUBLIC HEALTH PHYSICIAN
The duties of the Public Health Physician were duly performed, con-
sisting of visits to the two schools assigned, St. Patrick's Grammar and
High Schools and the Sacred Heart School, including physical examinations
of grades 1, 4, 7, and 10 of each school.
In addition to the several anti-polio clinics, a series of clinics for
tuberculosis testing was conducted for school children and personnel with
gratifying sucess.
The fine cooperation of the Board and all the personnel concerned in
supplying the assistance that made these clinics so outstanding is greatly
appreciated.
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
The Health Department continued its program of supervision and
follow-up of reportable contagious disease cases, of both patients and
contacts. Regarding tuberculosis cases during 1959, there were 21 admis-
sions to the Middlesex County Sanatorium with 12 patients discharged and
7 admissions to various other sanatoria, including 2 admissions to the
Rutland Veterans Hospital, 1 admission to the Bedford Veterans Hos-
pital with 4 patients discharged.
From March 2 through May 29, 1959, the Health Department con-
ducted a Mantoux Testing Program for all Watertown school children
and personnel. The tremendous task of reading every one of the tests,
as well as arranging appointments for X-ray of all positive reactors and
their contacts, was the duty of the Public Health Nurses, but the success
of the program made it extremely rewarding work. On May 13 and 14 and
June 15 and 16,1959, Anti-Polio Clinics were held for pre-school children
and adults 20 to 40 years of age. The Anti-Rabies Clinic was held on
June 11, 12 and 13, 1959, with 704 dogs inoculated. An Anti-Polio Clinic
for all school children and personnel requiring booster doses was con-
ducted from November 16 through December 12, 1959.
At the beginning of the school year, the Department nurses were each
assigned to cover a section of the Town. They are now extending to the
public a diversified service rather than a specialized one. These sections
will be rotated each year, in order to acquaint each nurse with the problems
of both sections.
Daily visits were made to the two parochial schools, St. Patrick's and
Sacred Heart, with the following services rendered:
Mass. Vision Test — Screening 522 students
Referred for further check-up
and possible treatment 39 students
Physical Examinations 339 students
Referrals 196 students
Hearing Tests 5 students
Referrals 2 students
228 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
The necessary referral letters were sent to parents on all students
who were tested and found negative.
A new car was purchased for the Health Department to replace a 1951
Chevrolet. It was designated to the Public Health Nurse.
Mrs. Mary A. Carr, R.N., was appointed as Public Health Nurse to
the Department on December 29, 1959) to fill the vacancy created when
Miss Rita L. Vahey, R.N., resigned on December 21, 1959.
MOSQUITO CONTROL
Mosquito control work commenced with the routine Culex (House
Mosquito) spraying program in June. Oil was used entirely for basin and
surface water spraying until some time in August. Then DDT was used
for spraying basins and other sources. The reason for the change was that
the midsummer rains and humid weather had caused so much mosquito
breeding that the spray crews could not control it. Using DDT gave them
a chance to cover more territory with each spraying. This was more
important in the other towns and cities than in Watertown.
Culex mosquitoes were noticeably more abundant in Watertown this
year, but very few people complained. A little fogging was done in the
northwest corner of the the Town in August. Watertown apparently was
out of reach of the spring brood of Aedes mosquito which raised havoc
with the western towns of the district.
Some preliminary investigation in adjacent towns in the district in-
dicates that the Culex mosquitoes are beginning to acquire resistance, to
Dieldrin in at least a few locations. We had the same experience with
DDT several years ago; hence the alternating oil and Dieldrin schedule
of the last three years. Oil is too short lasting, particularly in a rainy
season. New types of insecticides will have to be tested and tried out
under our local conditions.

porting the dental equipment to the various schools several times during
the year.
Pieces of equipment were borrowed from other Departments, from
time to time, when occasion was necessary in order to complete work to
be done by the Cemetery Department. The thanks and appreciation of
the Cemetery Department is extended to all Town Departments, who
so willingly cooperated and assisted in completing these duties satisfactorily.
In conclusion, I wish to express my thanks to the Board of Health;
to the personnel of the Health Department; medical and dental profes-
sions; the Middlesex Tuberculosis and Health Association; the School
Department, its physicians and nurses; all the various town, county and
state departments, and all agencies within and outside our community,
for their most willing help and cooperation.

fective July 3, 1958.
John Kilgarriff — Appointed Temporary Grade II Senior Engineering
Aide until June 13, 1959, resigned June 24, 1959.
Ralph Fraser — Appointed sit moth temporary Junior Engineering
Aide Grade I effective April 1, 1959. Resigned November 25, 1959.
William Gildea — Appointed thirty day emergency appointment., as
Junior Engineering Aide Grade I, effective November 29, 1959. Terminated
employment February 3, 1959.
Francis A .Kelly — On leave of absence, extended to June 6, 1959.
Resigned June 22, 1959.
I take a great deal of pride and pleasure to report this year on the
accomplishments of the permanent personnel employed in this depart-
ment Within a few years certain members have successfully passed exam-
inations which qualify them as Registered Professional Engineers and
Land Surveyors. This department now has three members of the staff so
qualified, considering the size of the organization, this I believe is
outstanding.
During the past year I have supplied the Sale of Dumplands Commit-
tee with numerous plans and at their request sat in at all meetings and
conferences. During the coming year the Town is obligated{ by agreement
with Martin Cerel, Realty, to instail sewer and water facilities on Cool-
idge Avenue and Grove Street. This work will be in all probability be
232 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
done under contract which will entail much more work for this depart-
ment, drawing plans, specifications, contracts, supervision, etc. The cost
of this work will be close to $100,000.
The Sewer and Drain Committee will be advertising for bids in just
a few weeks and work will be started on this approximately $350,000,
project. The Engineering Department was authorized by this committee
to work after hours this past summer in order to speed tip the drafting of
design plans by our consulting engineers, Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike.
This work if done is its entirety by our consulting engineers would
have cost the town about $8,000. By doing the work through regular
working days and extra time the cost to the town was $671.39. When this
work commences we will be responsible for the field engineering which
will also aid in keeping the cost for such work to a minimum.
Construction and layout plans were prepared for the parking lot in
the rear of the stores on Main Street. Supervision of the construction and
installation of meters will be necessary this spring.
The highway Department has been furnished with estimates, plans,
profiles, cross-sections ,etc., necessary for the construction and main-
tenance of streets, sewers, drains and sidewalks. The field work of sur-
veying for the preliminary plans for proposed construction together with
furnishing the engineering for the actual construction takes the full time
of one survey department.
Assessor's original plans which are kept in this department are
brought up to date every January, when all new buildings are located
directly on the ground plotted on the master plans. All property sub-
divisions which are made during the year are also recorded on the As-
sessor's plans. Prints of these plans are used by the Assessors' and the
Building Inspector. They are also used for reference by the Tax Collector
and others. These plans show every piece of property in the town on a
scale of 1" — 40' with lot numbers, house numbers, areas and the building
thereon (houses, garages, factories, business building, etc.)
In connection with the Town Counsel the Engineering Department
has been called up to investigate fourteen accident report,, and claims by
persons asking for damages for alleged defects on public ways. Sketches
of such places are filed with reports of conditions found at the locations.
These reports are used to protect the Town's interests if court proceedings
result.
Contract plans, estimates, engineering layouts and grades were pre-
pared for the School Department, and Cemetery Department.
The Police Department required three plans of areas where fatal ac-
cidents occurred during 1959 and representatives of the Department
testified at these trials. The Department also supplied plans of street inter-
sections as required by the Department of Public Safety to install stop
signs.
The department has also checked all cases of Land Registrations filed
with the Land Court, so that the Town's properties and public street lines
would be protected.
The statistical charts following this report show construction work
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 233
of the Highway Department and Contractor, this department prepared
estimates, plans, proflles, and cross-sections for this work.
Estimates are being prepared for sewer and water installations ou
Coolidge Avenue and Grove Streets, these streets bound McNamara's
• Dump Land in east end of the town at the incinerator site. The agreement
with the buyer of 15 acres of this land call for the installation of about
3300 feet of 10" water main, this work must be completed by September
30, 1900. This work will be done under contract which will mean a greater
work load for this department.
As Town Engineer I have attended every meeting and conference of
the following committees, Incinerator Committee, Sewer and Drain Com-
mittee. Parking and Parking Meter Commitee, Duplication of Street
Names Committee and Sale of Dump Lands Committee.
In conclusion I wish to extend my thanks to the Board of Selectmen,
the Highway Department, and the Town Boards, Department heads and
all members of the Department for their fine spirit of cooperation given
to me.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1959
250 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Chairman and Members of the Watertown School Committee:
I have the honor to submit herewith my twenty-first annual report
of the schools of Watertown which is the seventy-ninth in a series of
annual reports of the Superintendent of the Watertown Public Schools.
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND SCHOOL RENOVATIONS
At a Special Town meeting held on January 14, 1959 an appropriation
of $1,375,000 was voted for the purpose of modernizing the Senior High
School by extensive renovations and the construction of two additions
to the building.
An appropriation of $980,000 was voted at the Annual Town Meeting
in March for the purpose of modernizing the West Junior High and the
construction of an addition consisting of a combination cafeteria and
assembly hall, a kitchen, a library, two art rooms and two classrooms.
By these generous appropriations of Town funds the citizens of
Watertown through its Town Meeting give evidence of their pride and
interest in our Public School System and a sincere desire to provide for
our students a sound educational program in modern, well equipped and
safely constructed buildings.
This attitude on the part of the Citizens of our Town is appreci-
ated by the Administrators of your School Department and serves as
an inspiration to the school personnel to devote their talents and abil-
ities unselfishly in the development of minds and the physical well being
of their pupils.
Work at the Senior High School began in June and during the sum-
mer a new heating and ventilating system was installed complete with
new boilers and univents. The kitchen in the cafeteria was enlarged and
renovated.
The additions, which will include physics and chemistry labaoratories,
an art room, automobile and machine shops, sewing and cooking rooms
and new classrooms were enclosed during December and all interior work
will be completed in August 1960.
Specifications and plans for the West Junior High School have been
completed and bids will be received in February of 1960.
The work on both buildings is being done under the supervision
of a Building Committee of which Mr. Charles F. Shaw is Chairman.
CLASSROOM T.V.
Although a classroom TV educational program for elementary schools
has been accepted quite universally throughout Massachusetts, the ques-
tion of investing an initial cost of approximately $5,000 has been under
discussion by your School Committee and the following report was made
in January by members of the Elementary School faculties.
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 251
EDUCATIONAL TV SURVEY REPORT
Watertown Public Schools
Watertown, Massachusetts
For the past year and a half a pioneering program in Educational
TV has been established in the state of Massaachusetts with the co-
operation of WGBH-TV, various educational associations, both private
and public, and many towns and cities who have become participating
members on a per pupil paying basis. The programs have received wide
publicity in the newspapers and in educational areas of this state and
the general consensus seems to be that Educational TV through develop-
ment and expansion of programming could become an integral part of
education.
In response to inquiries concerning its effectiveness as an educational
instrument, the School Department of Watertown established a survey
committee on Educational TV to determine its potential merit, to evalu-
ate its present educational value, investigate its program content for corre-
lation to the curriculum of the schools of Watertown, and to elicit in-
formation from participating communities as to its advantages and dis-
advantages educationally.
The following members of the Watertown School Department were
appointed to the Educational TV Survey Committee:
Miss Alma L. Timper — Principal — Chairman
Mr. Clifton Felton — Principal
Mr. Joseph P. McManus — Director — Audio — Visual Aids
Miss Elizabeth McDonough — Teacher
Miss Mary Sullivan — Teacher
Mr. George Cornetta — Teacher
The following is a summary of the findings of this committee:
Purpose
To determine the value of participating in the Educational TV Pro-
grams in the present pioneering stage for the Elementary School, by
visiting School Systems already participating, by talking directly to
principals and teachers as well as observing children in the classrooms
viewing the TV programs.
Towns Visited
Arlington — Bishop Elementary Newton — Underwood
Belmont — Daniel Butler Waltham—Plympton and Warrendale
Cambridge — Morse Wellesley- — Fiske
Lexington — Adams and Harrington
The Programs viewed

252 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Interchangeability
Programs now labeled for grade levels. Teachers have requested that
this be abandoned. Some teachers already allowed in interchange programs.
Children Participating
TV sets available to Grade II through VI. Compulsory in some
schools. Optional in others.
Mechanical Set-up

(new) has its own coaxial cable with outlets in every room. A TV set
as in each of the sixteen classrooms. TV table models on sturdy stands
that can be transported from class room to class room. Stationary TV
in Auditorium (reception found best in one place)
Materials for preparation and follow-up
Communities participating are furnished Study Guides for each class-
room. Guides contain programs, vocabulary, suggested activities, supple-
mentary reading and references.
Time Allotment for Preparation and Follow-up
Reports varied with individual teachers — from ten minutes to sixty
minutes for preparation and follow-tip.
General Criticisms of Programs
Teachers varied greatly in opinion. All Grade II teachers commended
music program. Grade III program too long — background indistinct.
Grade IV material too difficult for Grade level. Grade V benefits excep-
tional child — opportunity for others to develop collections. Grade VI
often technical and too much involved for elementary level.
Communities participating for how long
All schools visited have been participating since initiation of TV
educational programs in school year 1957-1958.
Value of Educational TV
Because Educational TV is still in its pioneering stage and has a
limited number of programs to view during school hours it is not possi-
ble to establish a full or fair evaluation of Educational TV. The people
administering and operating the TV programs are aware of their de-
ficiences so they request constructive criticisms from participating schools
for improvement of each grade program.
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 25
Teachers reported that progress has been definitely made in the
quality of presentation since last year.
Because of the great diversities of opinion among principals and
teachers visited as to the value of the present Educational TV programs
the advisability of participating at the present time is questionable.
FEDERAL PUBLIC LAW 874
"The purpose of Public Law 874 (81st Congress) as amended, is to
provide financial assistance for those local agencies upon which the
United States has placed financial burdens determined under the formular
of the Act." The past school year, since over three percent of the pupils
attending public schools in Watertown had parents employed on federal
property, the Watertown School Department qualified for this reim-
bursement. A partial payment of $33,354 has been received. A balance of
approximately eleven thousand dollars is due. This current school year
it appears that Watertown will receive approximately forty-eight thousand
dollars. This figure is contingent on employment in large federal installa-
tions. A second complete survey must be made in May,
The money is deposited with the Town Treasurer. The Town Auditor
establishes a separate account titled 874. This fund can only be expended
by the School Committee without further appropriation, notwithstanding
the provisions of section 53 of Chapter 44 of the General Laws.
Surrounding communities have used these funds for educational pro-
grams, maintenance, supplementary salary increases, building programs
and many other uses. There are few limitations placed on the School
Committee regarding the expenditure of these funds.
In Watertown serious thought is being given as to the best possible
use for 874 money. It is not the intent of the School Department to use
this fund as a reserve for deficits in the regular school accounts.
I recommend that this money be set aside as a "School Committee
School Building Fund," that it be invested by the Town Treasurer, and
that the principal plus the accrued interest be expended when it becomes
necessary to build an addition to the Browne School in North Watertown.
After five years, with this Federal Fund available, together with
State Aid through the Massachusetts School Building Assistance Com-
mission six or eight classrooms could be constructed at the Browne School
with little or no cost to the Town.
CONCLUSION
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the administrators, teachers,
supervisors, custodians and other employees for their cooperation during
the past year. I also wish to thank the members of the Town departments,
the parents and the citizens of Watertown for their continued support
and service to the School Department.
Lastly, I wish to thank the Chairman and other members of the
School Committee for the helpful assistance which they have given to
me during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS A. KELLY
Superintendent of Schools

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 261
Comments on Follow-up Survey, Class of '58
1. The percentage of graduates attending post-secondary school in-
stitutions is above the 40 percent mark for the fifth straight year. In fact,
it is the highest it has been in the twenty years that these studies have
been made. Nearly one half (49%) of the graduates of '58 went on for
higher education. Three out of five of these are attending degree granting
colleges.
2. Of the 136 graduates reported attending school or college 31%
are in Liberal Arts colleges, 10010 Business Administration, 9% Teacher
Training, 7% Engineering, and 3010 College Nursing or pre-medical; these
represent the graduates attending degree granting colleges. Attending
schools below the degree level 15010 are in Business and Secretarial courses,
89o' Junior College, 5010 Technical, 4% Nurses Training, 4010 Beautician, and
remainder scattered in many other types of training. The percentage
entering engineering dropped substantially over the previous year.
3. In the breakdown of the number of graduates attending degree
granting colleges it is noted that slightly over two-thirds of them are
attending colleges and universities in the Boston area, an additional 11
percent within Massachusetts but outside the Boston area, 11 percent in
another New England state than Massachusetts, and 12% outside the
New England area. Another interesting observation is that 90% are at-
tending colleges and universities that are privately supported and en-
dowed, and 10010 in public supported institutions and those mostly Teach-
ers Colleges.
4. The percentage reporting being married within one year after
graduation is the largest ever reported, 5.801o. These are all girls and
they were also regularly employed outside the home at the time of
the survey.
5. The percentage in military service is the smallest recorded in the
past three years.
6. Of those regularly employed slightly over two-thirds are working
in Watertown or contiguous towns or cities, and the remainder in Boston.
7. Information about 32 graduates included in the above statistics
was obtained from sources other than the follow-up questionnaire; 2
from parents of boys in military service, 12 from employment records,
12 from school and college reports, and 6 from family or friends.

*Percentage of Senior High School Membership only
Students who withdraw from school to attend school elsewhere are
considered as transfers and not counted as drop-outs. The term drop-out
refers only to those who withdraw from school and who do not attend
school elsewhere.
The percentage of drop-outs from Watertown grades 9-12 for the
year '58-'59 was about the same as the previous year and approximately
3010 below the average for the state.
It is interesting to note that approximately one third of those who
dropped out came from grade eleven and over one fourth from grade
nine. All but one of the grade nine drop-outs were two or more years
overage and experiencing difficulty with school work.
Another interesting interpretation of this table is that 2.3% of drop-
outs indicates that approximately 90 of every 100 pupils entering grade
nine are remaining to graduate. The number of transfer students into
and out of grades 9-12 approximately balance each other. Thus, by mul-
tiplying the yearly percentage of drop-outs by the years covered in
grades 9-12, we arrive at a reasonable estimate of the number expected
to withdraw before graduating. Thus, 4 x 2.390 equals 92 or approximately
1017o of the students withdrawing in four years. This means that of every
100 students entering Grade 9, approximately 90 of them will remain to
graduate from Grade 12.

1-4 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
REPORT OF THE TOWN TREASURER
I respectfully submit the following report, financial and otherwise for
the year 1959.
The year 1959 was generally peaceful and passed by without the Town
Treasurer being required to appear in the Superior Court as seemed to be
the custom in the past, however, there was one incident or assault upon
the Treasury, which I deem worthy of reporting. During the month of
May, employees of the Treasurer's office discovered a payroll voucher
submitted by the Town Tax Collector and approved by the Town Audi-
tor which attempted to skip the legal step-rate increases as set forth in
Chapter 10 of the Town's By-Laws, attempting to give increases to em-
ployees in the collector's office before their lawful due dates and also
attempting to push back their anniversary dates of initial employment
and give them retro-active pay.
This was a fine kettle of fish and when brought to the attention of the
Town Treasurer, he waq flabbergasted. M could not understand how a
department head who had been in office for over 20 years. could submit
such a payroll voucher in good conscience, especially when the department.
head was a lawyer, trained to respect and uphold the laws and sworn to
obey the Town's by-laws.
The matter was loudly discussed by my brother attorney all over the
Town Hall with vociferous blandishment, but to no avail. Then he ap-
pealed to the Board of Selectmen for a decision on the matter. This
brought back old memories, but fortunately this Board of Selectmen com-
plied with the law by upholding the Town Treasurer, showing more sense
and less political expediency, than previous Boards of Selectmen and Town
Counsel; since denied re-admittance to public office.
(The voters in Watertown cannot be fooled, twice.)
The Tax Collector then submitted the proper vouchers and all parties
concerned received the money lawfully due them. He reserved his right:;
to take the matter to the Courts, but evidently; he doesn't have the
courage to take the matter before a Court of Law.
Things then really quieted down with the Tax Collector refusing to
even speak to the Town Treasurer, (so I have lost a friend, or have I?).
Historians who may be interested is the above "cause celebre" may find a
blew-by-blow description in the Watertown Press edition of May 14, 1959.
FINANCIAL
The Cemetery Perpetual Care Funds in the amount of $55,00.0.00
were re-invested in bonds yielding 4%0/.o ; 501o; and 5'A%, thus returnin,
greater income for the upkeep of the cemeteries.
A terrific amount of borrowing was accomplished this year in the
amount of $1,930,000.00 for school additions, remodeling and the incinera-
tor. Some of these loans were written up for a shorter period of 10 years
because of the high interest rates, resulting in a saving to the town of
over $7 7,000.00.
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 275
The Town Treasurer for the first, time invested $500,000.00 of this
money in U.S. Treasury Bills yielding 4.38% and in 12Q days will get a
return of $7,604.17. (Thus, it can be said that the Treasurer earned his
keep.)
The parking area was expanded with the purchase of the Leacy prop-
erty for $22,000.00. The amount authorized by the town meeting was
$25,000.00 and Mr. Leacy was willing to sell for $24,000.00. Selectmen John
Curran and Edward Seferian should be given credit for reducing this figure
$1,000.00 to $23,000.00 and then Selectmen Philip Pane and Town Treas-
urer Robert Hagopian further worked on Mr. Leacy and the price was
reduced another $1,000.00 — to $22,000.00, the final selling price. Just be-
fore Christmas the area was given one coat of black-top to make it use-
able, and in the spring the the second and final coat of black-top will be
applied and about 100 meters installed. President R.upe Baker of the
Board of Trade and its members should be commended for making this
additional parking area possible and also paying over $7,500.00 towards
the cost of construction. This is a saving to the Town and the meter in-
come should be substantially increased in 1960.
The Treasurer's office was enlarged by the removal of a counter-
section since the office area of the Collector and Treasurer could not be
equally divided. This alteration made wasted space available, however
the office still remains crowded, especially with the ever-increasing work
load.
In closing, I wish to thank all the Town Departments for their fine
cooperation with the Treasurer's office and I especially wish to commend
the Board of Selectmen and the Town Counsel for carrying out the law
and not turning legal "flip-flops" to create a chaotic state of affairs which
disturb the domestic tranquility of the Town.

ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 291
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
The Annual Report of the Board of Selectmen for the year ending
December 31, 1959, is herewith submitted to the citizens of Watertown.
At the Annual election in March, Mr. Philip Pane was elected to
the Board, and at the subsequent re-organization thereof, John J. Curran,
(1958-1961) was elected Chairman, and Edward G. Seferian, (1957-1960)
was elected as Clerk. Laurence J. Walsh, Esq., a former member of the
Board of Selectmen, was appointed Town Counsel. and Mr. James E.
Ford was re-appointed as Confidential Clerk.
The year 1959 proved to be one presenting many interesting problems
calling for solution, also marking many forward steps in the development
of Watertown. In June, ground was broken for the construction of the
new incinerator which is expected to be in full operation by July of 1960.
After many conferences and interviews with prospective purchasers the
Sale of Dump Lands Committee finally disposed of our dump areas, the
sale to be consummated in September of 1960. at a figure of approximately
$375,000.00. The purchasers have represented to the Committee that they
intend to erect upwards of fourteen million dollars worth of buildings on
the land, which should result in a material reduction in our tax rate and
also provide a, solid and expanding tax base. The Incinerator Committee
and the Sale of Dump Lands Committee are to be congratulated for their
earnest and un-tiring efforts which have finally brought to forseeable reality
definite, sound and progressive projects and which reflect the interest and
co-operation of our citizenry in the development of our Town and its
affairs.
With the co-operation of the merchants on Main and Mt. Auburn
Streets in the form of financial contributions and donations of land, our
public parking area was greatly extended, which it is hoped will bring
much new business to our principal mercantile area, and help to counter-
act the ever growing menace to local merchants of the construction of
large shopping areas in neighboring localities.
The problems arising from the present inadequacy of our sewerage
and drainage facilities arising from the rapid expansion of the town and
from normal causes has been met by the survey conducted under the
direction of our Sewerage and Drainage Committee which envisions an
annual expenditure for approximately five years to provide adequate
facilities for many years to come. The work on the most critical areas
involved is to start early in 1960.
The tax rate for 1959 was set by the Board of Assessors at SM.80 per
thousand, representing an increase of S3.00 over the rate of 1958. In
considering the elements resulting in this increase, it must be borne in
mind that unusually heavy capital expenditures were authorized by the
Town Meetings of 1959. namely, the addition and renovation of the
West Junior High School, which resulted in an assessment on the tax
levy of 850,000.00; the renovation and addition to the Senior High School
of $100,000.00; and l.M,000.00 to the Sewerage and Drainage project,
making a total of $170,000.00 placed on the tax levy of 1959.
292 -_ 'TOWN OF WATERTOWN
There were also those outlays over which the Town Meeting has no
control, and which are apparently increasing every year, such as the
Metropolitan Transit Authority deficiency, which for 1959 was $207,151.46
as opposed to $150,506.20 for 1958, or an increase iiA the tax levy of 1959
of $56,645.26. These are those hidden expenditures which materially affect
the tax rate of all local communities. Fortunately, there was a total in-
crease in our valuation of real and personal property of $1.500,445, which
helped to keep the rate at a reasonable level, — lower,in fact, than the
average for the Commonwealth.
The Board of Selectmen have striven constantly to give the tax-
payers of the Town as full and complete return on their tax dollar as is
reasonably possible. The increase in personnel, both in men and officers
in the Police and Fire Departments, and the introduction of modern
methods and equipment will result in increased efficiency in the protection
of persons and property.
It might be said in passing that despite legislative encroachments
constantly imposed, and which require the constant vigilance of all officers
of local communities, our form of_government in Watertown has proven
to be the most durable and most responsive to the will of the people.
This is due in no small measure to the various committees "authorized by
the Town Meetings, the members of which undertake at great sacrifice of
time and energy the necessary inquiry and development of many opera-
tions of government at no expense to the people, at the same time de-
veloping in our citizenry the individual sense of responsibility so necessary
to the public good.
In conclusion the Board wishes to express their thanks to all Heads
of Departments and employees and Boards for the co-operation extended
to us and for their faithful service to the Town.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. CURRAN, Chairman
EDWARD G. SEFERIAN, Clerk

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY BOARD OF REVIEW
The Advisory Board of Review, created and existing under the pro-
visions of Section 15, Chapter 10, of the By-Laws of the Town of Water-
town, and supplementary provision thereto, hereby submits its report for
the year 1959.
In accordance with the aforesaid provisions, the Moderator appointed
under date of May 2, 1959, the following members:
Members of the Board of Selectmen (2)
John J. Curran, 14 Irma Avenue
Philip Pane, 37 Orchard Street
Members of the Finance Committee (3)
Henry Hansen, Jr., 134 Standish Road
Three Residents of the Toum (Not Totten Employees)
John J. Carroll, 30 Brandley Road
Mrs. Ellen Linehan, 52 Pearl Street
Charles L. Sheldon, 311 School Street
Town Employee (Section 11-A, Chapter 10)
Louis Langione, 29 Charles Street
Other Town Employee
Richard T. Bartley, 51 Parker Street
The first meeting of the Board was held on May 18, 1959, to con-
sider the articles in the Warrant for the Special Town Meeting held on
June 4th, 1959, and organized by electing Selectman John J. Curran its
Chairman, and Francis J. Casey its Secretary. Robert L. Shutt was re-
appointed as Clerk with compensation to be paid from the Advisory
Board of Review Contingent Account.
The second meeting of the Board as above constituted was held on
September 22, 1959, to make preparations for its work for the Annual
Town Meeting of 19M. It was voted at this meeting that the same officers
elected at the May 18th meeting continue as such until its work was
completed. It was also voted that the application form used in prior years
be adopted to notify all Chapter 10 employees of the Town and to also
include in the notice the amendment td Section 15 adopted by the Town
Meeting of April 16, 1956.
294 % TOWN OF WATERTOWN
It was also unanimously voted that all applications for changes in
classification, Grade and salary be submitted to the Board in triplicate on
or before Tuesday, October 6, 1959. On that date, October 6, 1959, sixty-
four applications had been filed, the majority of which sought changes in
grade, and covering all except four employees under Chapter 10 pro-
visions. School personnel does not come under the provisions of this
Chapter.
Thereafter, under dates of October 20th, 27th, November 3rd, and
November loth, every applicant or representatives of groups, was given
a herring and an opportunity to submit to the Board the reasons why he
felt that he was entitled to an increase. Many reasons were given, prin-
cipally increased duties, increase in the cost of living, and that our wages
and salaries were not equal to that paid in surrounding cities and towns.
Subsequently, under dates of November 17th, 24th, and December 1st and
Sth, the Board held executive meetings to reach decisions on all appli-
cations.
At this point, let it be said with emphasis that all endeavors of the
Board have been aimed at reaching an agreement on wages and salaries
that are fair to our employees and to the citizens and taxpayers of the
Town. To accomplish this end, detailed inormfation on the salaries of
all municipal employees in neighboring towns and cities comparable to
Watertown was secured and thoroughly canvassed and further information
in this respect was conveyed to the Board by many of the empoyees.
Detailed information on cost of living increases was obtained and in
many instances comparison was made with wages paid by industry to
employees engaged in similar wrok to various applicants. A study of
the salaries paid by communities of approximately' the same size adjacent
to Watertown was compiled, which revealed that our wages and salaries
cornpared very favorably with those paid by the said communities, in some
instances exceeding and in others being slightly less in different occupations.
In considering the wages paid to employees in industry the Board in
all fairness had to consider that increases in pay in industry are generally
based on increased productivity due to greater efficiency in production,
better equipment or automation. Also, industries can pass on to their
customers the increased cost of their products, but in a competitive
market, if the price is too high their customers do not, have to buy
them. On the other hand, all expenditures of the Town can only be
raised by taxation and the taxpayers have no other recourse except to
pay the increased cost.
The various applications filed with the Board requested increases in
wages and salaries from $60.00 per year to $1,250.00 per year, and which
totalled approximately $145,000.00, which if granted, would increase the
tax rate by approximately $1.93 per thousand. In its study the Board noted
that the overall increases in wages and salaries paid to our employees
since 1952 was forty-four (440/'o) percent, some employees receiving more
and others less, and in the same period, 1952 to 1959 inclusive, the cost
of living according to the Retail Price Index increased seventeen and
four-tenths (17.4%) per cent. While these figures are not conclusive and
do not take into consideration factors not readily apparent, the Board
feels that our employees generally have been fairly treated, and that
their pay has increased faster and to a greater degree than most of our
citizens and taxpayers
ANNUAL REPORTS, 1959 295
In an accompanying schedule the Board set forth its recommendations
regarding changes in grades and wages and salaries. Where no increases
have been granted it would appear that our wages and salaries are equal
to or above those paid by other communities or by industry. The Board
feels that the changes recommended adjust inequities that have existed
and bring wages and salaries below that of other communities fairly in
line with them, and wish to comment specifically on the following:
Fire and Police Departments: The Board found that the wages and
salaries paid to employees of these departments were somewhat below
the average.
Meter Inspectors: The Board found that the duties of these em-
ployees have increased; also it is necessary for them to work nights and
Saturdays at the present, time without compensation. ,
rustodions: The increases recommended are to meet the increases
granted by the School Committee to its custodians, and as all custodians
are taken from the same Civil Sen-ice list.
.Forev?an -corking carpenter: Increased duties justify increase in wages.
Health Inspector: Increased duties justify increase in salary.
Forestry Foreman: The Board was of the opinion that this position
was underpaid.
Supeiin.tendent of Cemeteries: Duties and responsibility warrant
increase in salary.
Ass't. Sup't. of Highways: Duties and responsibility warrant increase
in salary
Enginecrinq Department: The Board was of the opinion that our
engineers have been underpaid for some years and increases recommended
to make a, fair adjustment. Also, Mr. Sullivan, the Town Engineer gives
greatly of his own time to the Town serving on various committees with-
out additional compensation.
welfare Director: The duties and responsibilities of this position
merit increase in salary.
Clerks: The Board found that the salaries paid to Clerks in all grades
compared favorably with those paid in other cities and towns, and there-
fore recommended no changes in grades or salaries.
Hourly rated employees: The Board recommends an increase of five
cents per hour to all hourly rated men, to keep them on a par with other
communities.
All the receommendations of the Board are shown by Appendix "A;'
296 TOWN OF WATERTOWN,
Except as hereinafter set forth, the Board did not recommend any
changes in Grade, title classifications or wages and salaries, and all ap-
lications were voted "no change" and must be treated as denied.
The recommendations of the Board as shown by Appendix "A" if
adopted by the Town Meeting will result in increase of salaries and wages
of approximately fifty-one thousand ($51,000.00) dollars, or approximately
seventy cents (5.70) on the tax rate at the present valuation.
The Board respectfully reports and recommends the adoption of the
changes listed in Appendix "A" as amendments to Chapter 10 of the By-
Laws of the Inhabitants of the Town of Watertown.
The Chairman of the Board wishes to thank the members thereof for
their faithful attendance and earnest discharge of their duties.
Respectfully submitted,
John J. Curran, Chairman.
VOTED: That the Report of the Chairman of. the Advisory Board of
Review be Adopted as the Report of the Board.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
I herewith present the Annual Report of the Financial Transactions
of the Town of Watertown for the year ending December 31, 1959.
The various funds in the hands of the Town Treasurer, including those
of the Trustees of the Free Public Library, have been examined and
found correct.
I have verified the cash in the hands of both the Town Treasurer
and Collector of Taxes.
During the year I have made periodic examinations of the Collector's
outstanding accounts and have found them in agreement with the con-
trols in my office.
As noted elsewhere in my report, there are no outstanding taxes
for prior years.
The balance in the Excess and Deficiency account at the close of
business for'this year is in the amount of M,026.02, but special note
is to be made in the sharp increase in the Debt Accounts noted in my
report because of additional loans authorized and issued during 1959.
On January 1, 1959, the outstanding debt of the Town was in the
amount of $1,380,000.00, and on December 31, 1959, the outstanding debt
of the Town is in the amount of S3,202,092.00
To my staff in particular, I wish to express my sincere appreciation
for a job well done. I also want to thank all departments for their
cooperation during the year.
Respectfully submitted.
JOHN J. SHEEHAN,
Town Auditor
Watertown, Massachusetts, February 12, 1960

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
The Honorable Board of Selectmen
Administration Building
Watertown, 72, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
As required by Section 3 of Chapter II of the Town By-Laws I submit
the following as the report of the Town Counsel:
Upon assuming the duties of office, there were in the files 108 cases
pending in the various courts, tax matters before the Appellate Tax Board,
claims by the Town against persons causing damage to Town property,
suits against the Town for injuries caused by alleged defective ways,
and for property damage.
During my term in office, 72 cases were received and 22 were settled.
Of the 72 received, the majority were for sidewalk defects, a matter which
should be of great concern to the Town, and which should have im-
mediate investigation by the Highway, Police, and other departments.
Due to the numerous claims against the Town, it has been my policy
not to settle any of these alleged sidewalk claims, insisting upon trial of
same unless the defects in question were so obvious that the Town could
not properly defend its case.
The work of the Town Counsel has increased over the years, and
it was a privilege of mine to have an assistant in the person of Andrew
Sama, Esquire, to whom much of my work was appointed, which enabled
me to handle the case load expeditiously.
It was my pleasure to give many legal opinions to various department
heads, and the drawing of various contracts and easements and other
matters of a legal nature which were referred to me for attention.
I wish to extend my appreciation to your Honorable Board and
other department heads who have been cooperative with me in the
carrying out of my duties as your Town Counsel.
Respectfully submitted,
LAURENCE J. WALSH
Town Counsel
