Said Committee to report back at the 1960 Annual Town Meeting on the
following question — the advisability of public works under a special act
of the General Court, the advisability of public works by adopting the
standard act (G. L. 41) Section 69C to 69F, or the advisability of not
having public works in any form," the Moderator appointed the following
named citizens thereto:
Mr. Lawrence E. Maloney, 271 Waverley Avenue
Mrs. Evelyn McGowan, 44 Grenville Road
Mr. Joseph J. Mazza, 31 Keenan Street
Mr. Frank J. Argento

The Committee organized by electing Selectmen John J. Curran its
Chairman, and Mrs. Evelyn McGowan its Secretary.
Thereafter several meetings of the Committee were held and the
subject matter was thoroughly discussed.
To date the committee has done the following:
1. Within the Town we have studied the man power and equipment
in all departments controlled by the Board of Selectmen and have asked
for co-operation from the Tree, Water and Park Departments.
2. Beyond the Town ,we directed a three page questionnaire to
town using D. P. W. to obtain factual information regarding its advantages
and disadvantages as well as soliciting opinions.
3. Have studied the "Standard Act" passed by the Legislature and
related it to our own situation, and considered Special Acts used by some
other towns.
As a result of our studies to date, we are agreed that
1. Further study is necessary and advisable.
22 TOWN OF WATERTOWWN
2. That we once again seek the co-operation of the Park, Tree and
Water Departments in providing us with the same man power and equip-
ment analysis as already provided by other departments.
3. That we meet with the School Committee to investigate the
possibility of including maintenance of school buildings and/or grounds in
a D. P. W.
4. That if we have a D. P. W., it should be by a Special Act tailored
to our situation, such act to name the three Selecmen as the D P. W.
5. That the Committee make a detailed study of the Department of
Public Works in the Town of Weymouth, one of the most recent towns
to adopt such a department by Special Act.
Therefore it was voted to request the Town Meeting to continue this
study committee until the next Annual Town Meting.

MINORITY REPORT ON THE ADVISABILITY OF A
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS IN WATERTOWN
By GERARD J. JOYCE
This is the Minority report of one member of the Committee study-
ing the advisability of adopting a Department of Public Works in Water-
town. This Committee was appointed last year by the Moderator as
authorized by the Town Meeting.
I, strongly and sincerely feel that a Department of Publio Works is
in the best interests of the town employee and the entire town. It is an
overdue step in the right direction. With the ever increasing tax rate
we must seriously consider ways to operate more efficiently and economi-
cally. The idea of a Public Works Department is not new. It was first
seriously considered here in Watertown several years ago (1954). All the
cities in the Commonwealth and many of the towns have a Public Works
Department in various forms. Bear in mind that Watertown has a popula-
tion of 40,000 which is larger than many cities.
I disagree with the Majority report for the following reason: It seems
to me that further study by the committee is neither needed nor desirable
and is in effect a motion to postpone indefinitely.
Action is needed not further study.
We should consider drawing up special legislation for a Public Works
Department in Watertown. This proposed special act could be approved
by the State Legislature at the next annual session. Then it would be
placed on the ballot at the next annual town election in March of 1961
for the approval or disapproval of the citizens of Watertown.
Under this proposed special act the Board of Selectmen would act
as the Board of Public Works. I do not think it would be wise-or in the
best interests of the town to set up a separate Public Works Board
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 23
It would lead to divided authority, responsibility, and confusion. It
would reduce the power of the Board of Selectmen when it is so necessary
to increase the power and authority of the executive branch of our Town
Government, namely the Board of Selectmen. The Selectmen are some-
times called the Town Fathers. Since they have the responsibility and
listen to all the complaints they should have the authority. For these
reasons and others I think the Board of Selectmen should act as the
Board of Public Works under the proposed special legislation.
The Board of Selectmen would have broad direction of Public Works
and still not be burdened with details. With centralization of authority
it would be easier to coordinate planning long range policies, appropriations,
budgets, personnel policies, etc.
Now, I, would like to address myself primarily to the Town employees
who would naturally be vitally concerned. No Town employee will be
hurt by Public Works in fact with one large department the better type
of Town empoyee has a better chance for advancement. Other towns
that have adopted Public Works said that one of the prime results has
been improved employee morale and security. The same personnel in
Town will be performing the same work as in the past. All department
heads would remain until retirement. Public Works will give Watertown
a more efficient and business like administration under one full time
Supt. of Public Works. We would have coordination at the top, authority
and responsibility instead of the present system of excellent cooperation.
And that the Selectmen be directed with the aid of Town Counsel to
prepare legislation which will provide the Town with a Department of
Public Works. And that the powers of the Board of Public Works will
be vested in the Board of Selectmen. Further that this legislation will
be presented to the next session of the State Legislature in time so that
it may be acted upon by the voters of Watertown at the 1961 Town
Election.
In closing I would like to say that Public Works will be adopted
in Watertown in one way or another sooner or later. I think the
method I have suggested is the best way. The most opponents can
do is to delay this natural, normal, progressive step forward. It is
natural for us to be against change, but change is the law of life.
Just think of all the changes in the last 25 years.
We are no longer a small Town.
We are a large Town and have to act accordingly.
Mr. Moderator: I move that the minority report be accepted and
adopted as read.
Respectfully Submitted

REPORT OF INCINERATOR COMMITTEE TO STUDY
METHOD OF COLLECTING REFUSE, ETC.
Philip Pane submitted a report under Article 2, for the Committee
to Study Method of Collecting Refuse, etc. in connection with In-
cinerator, as follows:
Article number 101 of the 1959 Annual Town Meeting directed the
moderator to appoint a committee of five to study any and all problems
in regard to the use of personnel, equipment, and methods of collection
of refuse resulting from the town use of an incinerator.
The Special Town Meeting of November, 1959 enlarged the com-
mittee to seven members.
The committee has held several meetings; singly, and in groups,
the members have visited other communities with operating incinerators.
We have studied their methods of collection, operation, and equip-
ment.
The committee has scheduled other visitations during the next mouth.
We are now preparing recommendations for the more efficient col-
lection of refuse, the modernizing of equipment, and actual operation
of the incinerator that is scheduled to be completed by September first.
Inasmuch as it is the responsibility of the Board of Selectmen to
set up all regulations pertaining to the above, the committee will be
ready by June thirtieth to submit all of their recommendations to the
Board of Selectmen and make a final ,report to the Town Meeting at
the regular 1961 meeting.

An organization meeting was held on May 19, 1958 at which time
Edmund J. O'Connell was named Chairman, and Patrick B. Ford, Sec-
retary.
From May 19, 1958 through November 30, 1959, at which time the
sale agreement was entered into with the Cerel-Perini Corporation, 15
Committee Meetings, representing 277 man hours, were held.
The committee conducted fifteen interviews with firms and in-
dividuals who had varying propositions to offer. Breakdown is as follows:
Number of Offers
Purchase of both dumps--Complete package 2
Purchase of Bemis Dump only 1
Purchase of parts of both dumps 5
Offer of services as consultant 2
Offer of services as a Broker 5
On July 27, 1959 the Committe by unanimous vote of the 9 mem-
bers present and voting entered into a verbal agreement with Cerel-
Perini for the sale of all available dump lands at 27% cents per square
foot subject to specifications conditions and restrictions of the committee.
On November 30, 1959 the Committee entered into written agree-
ment with Cerel-Perini Company to sell 623,035 square feet of land at
McNamara's and 746,760 square feet at Bemis for 27% cents per square
foot. (Purchase Price—$376,693.63. This agreement is to be consum-
mated on September 30, 1960. This agreement was signed by all thirteen
members of the committee.
On September 30, 1959 the Committee chose Selectman Philip
Pane to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John W. O'Hearn. The
Committee suffered a severe loss with the passing of "The Chief,"
his advice and wise counsel had been most valuable to the Committee.
It is suggested that the Town Meeting continue this committee in
office until the land is fully developed.

Sullivan for his advice and assistance.

FINAL REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON LIBRARY ADDITION
Robert J. Glennon, chairman, submitted written final report for
the Committee on Addition to Watertown Free Public Library, as follows:
The members of the Watertown Library Addition Building Com-
mittee herewith submit their final report to the Town Meeting.
The first proposal for an addition to the Main Library was pub-
lished in the local press in the fall of 1952, in the form of a report made
by a library expert engaged by the library trustees. As a result of the
report an article was inserted in the warrant for the annual town meet-
ing in 1953. The meeting voted to authorize the Moderator to appoint
a committee of seven, three of whose members should be library trus-
tees. to procure plans for such an addition, and appropriated $1,000
for this purpose.
Such a committee was appointed and commenced its duties by in-
terviewing nineteen architects before making its final choice. Detailed
plans were drawn by the architect and were submitted in the report of
the committee made at the 1954 town meeting. At this time the com-
committee recommended, and there was adopted an article in which
$175,000 was appropriated. $20,000 of this amount was to come from the
current year, and 8155.000 was to be borrowed. There followed the
usual advertising for bids and the awards of the contract to the lowest
bidder. Ground was broken in the early fall of 1954.
Although the work at first progressed satisfactorily, it was slowed
down in 1955 due to the death of the general contractor and ensuing
financial difficulties experienced by his estate. In spite of these delays
the new addition was formally dedicated and opened to the public on
January 29, 1956, and has been in constant progressively increasing use
ever since
Even though the addition was being used, the work of the com-
mittee did not cease. Shortly after the dedication, five suppliers of
materials placed liens against the property. These liens culminated in
law suits in the Superior Court, in which the town was made a party
defendent. These were finally settled in December of 1956, and the ad-
dition was formally accepted by the architect, with certain minor ex-
ception. An amount of money was with-held from the final payment to
the general contractor for the purpose of insuring that the exceptions
would be complied with.
As time went on, these small annoying things were not corrected
by the contractor and the building committee was forced to obtain others
to do the work. In the interim it was discoverd that under infrequent
combinations of wind and rain that water would seep into the interior
of the building. The leaks were hard to find and several various pro-
cedures were adopted in an effort to prevent them.
In this regard a firm of engineers was employed and their rec-
ommendations put into effect. However, this was time consuming and
accounts for the passage of time from the dedication of the addition
to this present report.
The Committee is pleased to report that in spite of thes difficulties
it was able to operate within the original appropriation and has not had
to ask the town meeting for additional funds to complete the job. It
wished to let the new addition speak for itself and herewith turns lack

to the town as a balance from the original appropriation, the amount
og $641.25 with the request that this report be accepted as a final report
and that the committee be discharged.

In Memoriam
Leona B. Slavin
Here in this auditorium are gathered those who have demonstrated
an interest in their town and its government, and it seems most fitting
that this group pause in its deliberations to honor the memory of
one dedicated to this town and its betterment, Mrs. Leona B. Slavin.
Mrs. Slavin's death on Monday, March 28, has left a void in the
hearts of many gathered here.
Mrs. Slavin, who served the town as a town meeting member and
member of the Advisory Board of Review, as well as other committees,
is best known for her work with the League of Women Voters, as presi-
dent, member of the State Board of Directors, and editor of many of
its publileations. She was active in the charitable life of the com-
munity, being particularly identified with the Red Cross and United
Fund. In addition to her service to the :town she served her nation
as a lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 29
Mils. Slavin, is to be remembered and honored not so much by
virtue of particular office, but by the hours of thoughlt and effort she
devoted to town affairs. Second to her family, her great love was service
to the community.
A devout woman of wit and creative intelligence, she faced death
with the courage and steadfastness with which she accomplished so
much in life. Her untimely passing is a severe loss to the town-
Be It Resolved that this memorial be inscribed on the records of
the town meeting and a copy sent to the family of Leona B. Slavin.

118 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
RECORD OF REFERENDUM ELECTION
JUNE 14, 1960
Total Vote Cast: 3360
A Referendum petition in respect to Articles 3, 79, 80, 81, 82, of the
1960 Annual Town Meeting and Warrant was filed with the Board of
Selectmen on April 6, 1960.
The petition, duly certified, was worded as follows:
"To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
We, the undersigned registered voters of the Town of
Watertown hereby petition for a referendum on the action
of the Annual Town Meeting of the Town of Watertown
held on Monday, March 7, 1960 and adjourned from time
to time, and finally concluded on Thursday, March 31,
1960, on Articles 2, 79, 80, 81, and 82 of the Warrant,
in accordance with, and provided by Chapter 205 of the
Acts of 1919, and amendments thereto."
The Selectmen called a Special Referendum Election for June 14, 1960,
which resulted in sustaining the action of the town meeting on all 358 items.
The special ballot required for the Referendum Election was probably the
longest ballot in the history of the Commonwealth.
SPECIAL NOTE: Inasmuch as the Referendum Vote sustained the
original action of the 1960 Annual Town Meeting, it is not made a part of
the printed annual report, but is incorporated in its entirety in the records
of the Town Clerk, and may be referred to in Volume 27, of the Town
Records, on file in the Office of the Town Clerk.
GEORGE B. WELLMAN,
ATTEST.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Watertown
The Annual Report of the Board of Selectmen for the year ending
December 31, 1960 is herewith submitted to the citizens of Watertown.
In March of 1960, Edward G. Seferian was reelected to the Board for
his third successive 3-year term. Also in March the Board was organized
resulting in the election of Edward G. Seferian (1960-1963) as Chairman
and Philip Pane (1959-1962) as Clerk. The Board appointed John P.
Meehan as Town Counsel and James E. Ford as its Confidential Clerk.
The tax rate for the year 1960 was set at $67.60 by the Board of
Assessors and approved by the State Department of Taxation. This figure
represented an increase of $2.80 per thousand from the preceding year
but this Nate was still lower than the average municipal rate in Massachu-
setts
Higher pension costs, a substantial increase in the M.T.A. assessment
and a large capital outlay program were the principal reasons for this
increase.
The Board has been ever mindful that strict economy must be the
by-word in every phase of our town government without the reduction
of any of the essential services rendered to the citizens of the town.
The incinerator which has been under construction for nearly two
years is rapidly nearing completion with a target date set for early in 1961.
The Board has taken all necessary steps to facilitate the conversion
of our rubbish disposal to incineration. New rules and regulations govern-
ing garbage and rubbish disposal by citizens have been prepared and are
being distributed to every household in the town by the Police Department
in conjunction with the annual listing. With the construction of this
incinerator, the Sale of Dump IAmds Committee, authorized by Town
Meeting and appointed by the Moderator, in pursuance of this authority,
conveyed the major parts of the McNamara and Bemis Dump lands, which
were of no further use, to the Cerel - Perini Development Corporation
for the purpose of a twin industrial development. This Committee re-
ceived assurances from the development firm that buildings placed on these
sites would increase our tax base substantially.
The major portion of the first phase of new sewerage and drainage
construction authorized by the 1959 Town Meeting has recently been
completed. The 1961 Town Meeting will be asked for further authority
to complete these important projects to bring relief to critical areas in
town.
146 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
New additions have been built to the Senior High and West Junior
High Schools to accomodate the increased enrollments. Large-scale ren-
ovations were also made to both schools.
1960 saw the approval of the voters on a referendum question in the
November election increasing the salary schedules of the Fire Department
by $655 per year.
Street car rails were removed from Mt. Auburn Street from Watertown
Square to the Cambidge line and the center portion of the street was re-
surfaced under a state-supervised Chapter 90 contract which saw the town
contribute 25, the County 25 and the Commonwealth's share 50. The
remainder of the street was not reconstructed because this portion has
been resurfaced in recent years. Bridge Street was also reconstructed under
this Chapter 90 Contract.
In 1960 the Town entered into an agreement to purchase the right of
way belonging to the Boston & Maine Railroad which has been given ap-
proval by the Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon from Taylor
Street at Mt. Auburn to Howard Street. This agreement resulted from
the action of the Board in seeking to reconstruct the Waverley Avenue
Bridge spanning the tracks. A saving of S30,000 resulted from the abondon-
ment of these tracks due to laws governing bridge heights over existing
railroad tracks. The Board has plans to demolish the Waverley Avenue
and Whites Avenue Bridges and construct the streets to grade, after
title to the right of way is acquired by the Town. This will result in savings
to the Town in the future as bridge mainenance costs will be eliminated.
The Board of Selectmen held regular meetings every Monday be-
ginning at 3:00 p.m. Due to increased business and to the complex nature
of modern government, many special meetings were called during the year
to handle urgent and unexpected matters.
The Board is extremely proud to state that the Town is progressing
in its aim to provide better service to its citizens at the least possible
cost. The Town is fortunate to have many able public spirited citizens
who serve on the various appointed committees and receive no renumera-
tion.
In conclusion the Board wishes to thank all department heads and
boards for their cooperation during the year just ended. The Board
wishes to thank the many employees of the Town for their faithful service;
and finally the Board wishes to thank the Finance Committee and the
Town Meeting Members for their devotion to duty.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD G. SEFERIAN, Chairman
PHILIP PANE, Clerk

ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 147
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town of Watertown the Plan-
ning Board herewith submits its report for the year 1960,
I. Master Plan for Watertown
Even before Watertown's first year under the zoning act (1926) the
planning boards of this Town stressed in their annual reports that Water-
town needed an overall planning analysis of its problems and opportuni-
ties to meet the challenge of the future: i.e. growth, expansion, develop-
ment. Each board whether it actually used the term or not was referring
to the adoption of a "Master Plan". It is needed as much now as at any
time in the past.
Municipal planning must necessarily anticipate the future needs of
the community so that its physical development will be orderly and eco-
nomical while providing a healthful, convenient and aesthetic environment
for working and living. Planning is the key to the development of a
desireable community, It is as necessary for a city or a Town as it is for
the individual family. With this in mind the members of the 1960 Plan-
ning Board have directed their energies and efforts toward establishing
the ground work for the ultimate adoption of a master plan for the future.
In May of this year the Planning Board contracted with Advanced
Planning Associates of Cambridge, Masa.chusetts, a highly recommended
firm of professional consultants and municipal planners, to undertake a
reconnais nCe survey with a view toward planning board policies and
activities for the future. This survey and analysis was completed in Septem-
ber and prepared in booklet form under the heading "Planning For Water-
town's Future". This booklet has been distributed or ultimately will be
distributed to all town meeting members, finance committee members,
town officials, department heads, retail board of trade members and in-
terested civic groups.
In conjunction with this advanced survey the Planning Board under-
took a survey of local neighborhood problems relating to the health,
safety, morals, convenience and general welfare of the inhabitants by
means of a letter addressed to all town meeting members, elected heads
of departments and finance committee members.
The replies received dealt mainly with parks and recreation, traffic
and safety precautions, and streets and highways. Much constructive cri-
ticism and suggestions were received. The summary of the replies re-
ceived was forwarded to the responsible department or department head
for their consideration and action. It is pleasant to note that much praise
for our municipal services departments was received.
148 TOWN OF WATERTOa N
II. Rezoning
Our Board held two public hearings for zone changes and presented
our recommendations to the March Town Meeting for their determination.
On the petition for rezoning of the property located at the corner
of Spring Street and Summer Street from general residence zone 2, to bus-
iness district zone 4, the Board unanimously recommended said change
as being in the best interests of the immediate neighborhood and of the
community. The Town Meeting Members upheld our recommendations
and voted favorably for the change in zone.
On the petition for the change in zone of the Rosary Academy grounds
from general residence zone 2, to apartment district zone 3, the Board
voted in favor of this change as being in the best interests of the entire
community. However, this decision was made only on the basis as to
what would be more preferable in this area as between general residence
and apartment district. The Town Meeting by a majority voted against
rezoning in this area. This Board felt at the time of the hearing and still
continues to feel that because of the heavy density of population in this
particular area and because of the lack of adequate park land or play-
grounds in the area that all available open space should be retained for
the benefit of the community. Town purchase of all or a portion of this
available open space is most desireable.
Watertown still continues to be under much pressure for changes of
land use and variances from the standard. It is a necessity that more
stringent zoning by-laws be adopted and followed. A complete revision
of our zoning by-laws to upgrade rather than down-grade our zoning re-
quirements is a continuing necessity. The granting of variances should be
carefully restricted to cases of extreme necessity only. All too often va-
riances are granted which ultimately change the entire residential street
or area, because when one variance is granted for a petitioner living on
a specified street it becomes increasingly difficult to turn down another
petitioner living on the same street or area who seeks similar remedies.
III. FUTURE NEEDS
This report will not go into detail on future planning projects because
we believe that the booklet "Planning For Watertown's Future" more
than adequately presents the problems of the present and the future.
This Board unanimously requests that the Board of Selectmen, mem-
bers of the finance committee and Town Meeting Members endorse our
request for an appropriation for the comprehensive program of planning
studies (leading to a Master Plan) in conjunction with financial assistance
under Section 701 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1959 (urban renewal) as set
out in the booklet "Planning For Watertown's Future".
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 149
The planning board would like to express its appreciation to Mr. Kev-
in Lynch, a citizen of our Town, for his invaluable advice and assistance
during the course of this year and to town officials and department heads
who have given generously of their time and efforts to assist this Board.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Tree Warden for the year
ending December 31, 1960.
Approximately one hundred and ninety (190) trees were planted this
spring in various sections of the Town — a number of these were re-
placements. 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 whenevr requested to do so by the owners and
the cost of this private work was charged to the owners on their annual
tax bill.
One hundred and forty-three decayed and injured trees were removed
during the year— eighty-three of these were either damaged or fell during
the hurricane and had to come down and the balance of sixty trees had
the 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 various
meetings and confernces.
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
assisting the Tree Department this past year.
My appreciation also to the Metropolitan Transit Authority, Boston
Edison Company and the New England Telephone and 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
publicly commend you for your loyal and faithful service. My heartiest
than to all who in any way aasisted me during the past year.

152 TOWN OF WATERTOVV
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town I submit the Annual
report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1960,
and submit for your consideration recommendations that in my opinion
are necessary for the operation of the Fire Department for the year
1961.
The membership of the Fire Department at the close of the year
1960 was as follows: (1) Chief; (5) Deputy Chiefs; (3) Captains; (9)
Lieutenants and (1) Mechanician; (84) Privates, for a total of 103 mem-
bers of the department.
The Total number of alarms for the year was 1106 an increase of 71
alarms over the previous year. In addition the Fire Department assisted
the Police Department responding to 298 calls with the Police ambulance.
Fire alarms were as follows: Bell alarms 172, still alarms 934. There
were 49 false alarms, a decrease of 13 from the previous year.
A condensed report on fire losses, values and insurance is as follows:
Values Losses Insurance Insurance paid
Buildings S996,000.00 $64,251.75 5601,900.00 $60,856.50
Contents $1,312,000.00 $40,124.25 $1,275,500.00 $19,750.25
Total $2,308,000.00 $104,376.00 .31,877,400.00 $80,606.75
SALARIES
The recent referendum relative to salaries and the vote therefor
which approved the salary requests of the members of the department,
with the exception of the Chief, whose salary remains below the average
salary as compared to that paid to Chiefs in cities and towns of compara,
ble size and population. The salary of your Chief should be on a fair
average with the salaries paid to Chiefs of other communities. I recom-
mend that the Fire Chief's salary be increased to $8,600. which is not
the highest of the comparisons but just a fair average.
HOLIDAY PAY
The sum of $15,880. should be provided for Holiday Pay. There is no
accurate method of estimating the actual amount necessary for Holiday
Pay except on a general average from past records. I recommend that
$15,880. be appropriated for Holiday Pay.
OVERTIME PAY.
There are occasions when it is necessary to recall members of the
department for overtime duty. Heretofore it has been the custom to
compensate the members so recalled with time off, however this method
presents a serious problem in maintaining department strength as it creates
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 153
a shortage of manpower as well as upsetting the entire schedule of assign-
ments.
It is my opinion that when a member of the department is recalled
for extra duty he should be compensated by a monetary consideration
rather than time off, thereby receiving the same consideration as all other
other Town employees. I recommend that $2,000. be appropriated for
Overtime Pay.
CONTINGENT
The main categories for Contingent are as follows:
Buildings — which includes Fuel Oil; Electricity; Telephone; Laun-
dry; Brushes; Brooms; Mops; Water; Contract repairs; Cleaning cloths;
Polish; Electric light bulbs; Hardware; Gas; Emergency repairs, etc.
Fire Fighting Equipment — including Suction hose; Medical gas;
Resuscitator parts; Gas masks and canisters; Oxygen; Self contained
Masks; Inhalator and parts; Extinguishers; Acid; Soda; Carbon dioxide
for various type extinguishers; Rescue equipment (numerous articles)
Fire fighting equipment (numerous articles) — Protective equipment
(numerous articles) etc.
Maintenance of Motors — Motor repairs; Motor parts; Oil; Gaso-
line; Batteries; Skid chains; Cross links; Repair parts, etc.
Incidentals — Stationery and general office materials; Medical
supplies; Dues; Typewriter and repairs; Printing; Newspaper advertise-
ments; Examinations; Fire prevention material; Dry cleaning; Uphol-
stery; Express charges; Two way radio repairs; File records; Running
cards; Kitchen supplies (varied); Photo beam charges; Shrubs; Flags;
Decorations, Etc. The articles coming under Incidentals axe so numerous
that it may be summarized as follows: all items of expense that cannot
be included in Buildings, Fire Fighting equipment or Maintenance of
Motors are included in Inedental expense.
A break-down of expenditures for the year 1960 is as follows:
Buildings $8380.24 Fire Fighting equipment $2925.80
Maintenance of Motors $3867.01 Office and Incidentals $1325.02
A break-down of anticipated expenses for the year 1961 is as follows:
Buildings S8,600 increase over 1960 $189.34
Fire Fighting Equipment 3,300. increase over 1960 680.48
Maintenance of Motors 4,000. increase over 1960 74.68
Office and Incidentals 1,600. increase over 1960 55.50
The increase requested is mainly for Fire Fighting equipment and
increased cost of supplies. There are numerous shortages in equipment
that must be replaced, as well as worn out articles that also must be
154 TOWN OF WATERTO WN
replaced. Due to inadequate funds for the year 1960 shortages have occured
and equipment that should babe been replaced is being used. Our stock
room supplies are depleted and must be replaced - such as Cannisters
for All-Service gas masks; Oxygen for self-contained gas masks; Span-
ners; Spanner belts; hose ropes; Shells for Life Gun; Soft suction hose;
Batteries for hand lights; Heavy duty electric cord for portable emergency
lights, Three of each (500-600-700) watt bulbs for Lighting Unit, etc.
In order o provide the necessary funds for the Contingent appropria-
tion, no less than $17,500. should be appropriated, therefore I recommend
that S17,500. be appropriated for Contingent.
Medical Expense
It is difficult to estimate with any degree of accuracy the amount
necessary for Medical expense, however it is my opinion that a fair
estimate should be $2,000. therefore I recommend that $2,000. be ap-
propriated for Medical expense.
Uniforms
In order to provide Uniform equipment, an inventory discloses that
16,000. be appropriated for Uniform equipment.
Painting and Repairs
There is a considerable amount of painting and repairs to be done
at the three fire stations which includes Pointing of brick; Repair chain
link fence; Roof repair; Painting and general repairs. For -the work con-
templated S1,000. is a conservative estimate, therefore I recommend that
$1,000. be appropriated for Painting and Repairs.
Room Equipment
To replace and provide necessary articles and equipment I recommend
that $650. be appropriated for Room Equipment.
New Hose
For the past several years there has been a serious shortage of hose
brought about by aninsufficient amount of hose purchased to replace
that which was discarded as unfit for use. An inventory of hose is sub-
mitted which will substantiate the necessity for my recommendation. I
recommend that no less than $3,000. be appropriated to purchase New
Hose.
An inventory of two and one half inch hose (2Y2") which is the basic
hose used in fire fighting discloses the following:
Total lengths 243 which comes to 12,150 feet
Condition of Hose 166 lengths or 8,300 feet — good
57 lengths or 2,850 feet — fair
20 lengths or 1000 feet — poor
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 155
The amount of Hose that should be in service and reserve is as follows:
Engine No. 1 3,000
Engine No. 2 2,800
Engine No. 3 3,800
Engine No. 4 2,800
Engine No. 5 3,000
Total 14,600 feet
It is obvious from experience that the inventory of two and one half
inch hose which dates from 1937 to 1960, and the tests which disclose that
2,850 feet tested fair and 1,000 feet poor will further deplete our hose
supply which the amount of money requested will not fully replace,
however it is not good practice -to purchase an excessive amount of hose
in any one year, therefore it is my opinion that $3,000. is sufficient for
immediate needs.
New Tires
An inspection of tires discloses that it will require approximately
M. to replace worn tires. I recommend that 5350. be appropriated for
New Tires.
Deputy Chiefs Car
The Deputy Chiefs Car is a 1951 Chevrolet and is unfit for further
use. The metal flooring is rotted out with large openings which are beyond
repair. The motor has been overhauled and repaired on numerous oc-
casions and contains many unconventioal parts, as it is difficult to obtain
standard parts. It is my opinion that this car is unsafe and should be re-
placed immediately. I recommend that $1,850. be appropriated for a
Deputy Chiefs Car.
Out of State Travel
The educational value to the Chief in attending the Fire Chiefs
Conferences is reflected in more efficient administration and management,
as well as improved methods of fire prevention, fire control, fire fighting
and the saving of life. Fire Chiefs Conferences present an excellent op-
portunity for attaining information for general improvements which are
of great value in fire department operations. I recommend that $150 be
appropriated for Out of State Travel.
156 TOWN OF WATER,TOWN
Rodio Communication
In my 1959 Annual Report I called attention to Radio Communication as
follows:
(At the present time the Fire Department uses the Police Department
radio frequency, as well as the station controls for two-way radio
communication, however after October 31, 1963 the Fire Depart-
ment must operate under a special and separate frequency which
requires that the Fire Department must have its own licensed
station and install the necessary equipment thefor. It is my in-
tention to include in ;the Fire Department's budget for 1961 an ap-
propriation to purchase and install the necessary radio equipment.)
A survey provides the following information for a complete Radio
installation:
Base Station $923. Plane base antenna SK Foamflex base lead-in $75.
Installation base station $100. Clinge frequency, six G.E. Units $240.
Change frequency, seven Motorola Units $350. Convert one G.E. Unit
from 6 volts to 12 volts S90. One self-supporting one hundred foot Antenna
$1500. for a total of $3,363. I recommend that $3,363. be appropriated for
Two Way Radio Communication.
Additional Officers
In previous reports to the Board of Selectmen and Finance Committee,
as well as my recommendations and reasons therefor in previous budget
requests, I have called attention to the shortage of officer personnel and
the severe strain on my ability to cope with the work load that I am
required to contend with.
Under the 48 hour work week system the Fire Department personnel
is assigned in seven groups, each group staffed with privates in equal
numbers and the officers assigned as equal as possible to the seven groups.
The groups mentioned above work on alternating days and nights as
follows: (1-2) (2-3) (3-4) (4-5) (5-6) (7-1) which requires four officers in
each classification for the complete cycle of coverage. At the present
during the year 1959 and 19M the officer shortage was exemplified on
numerous occasions particularly during vacations, which incidentally are
almost a year-round event in this department, and also due to sickness
and injuries.
At the present time there are two vacancies in the officer personnel,
namely, one Captain due to retirement on pension and one Lieutenant
because of death. The Board of Selectmen recently promoted Captain
Walter Starr and Captain Thomas Joyce from Captain to Deputy Chief
which makes two more vacancies in the Captain ranks. Privte James
Murphy was also appointed temporary Lieutenant. The appointment of
two Deputy Chiefs, which at the present time makes five Deputy Chiefs,
will be reduced to four in August due to the retirement on pension of one
Deputy Chief.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 157
In order to correct the present officer shortage I recommend that the
present vacancies be filled as follows: That the three Captain vacancies
be filled and that two additional Captains be appointed.
This would require five Lieutenants being promoted to Captain and re-
duce the Lieutenants from nine to four, and that four Privates be promoted
to Lieutenant which will increase the Lieutenants from four to eight. I do
not recommend any additional Privates to replace the additional officers.
A comparison of personnel under the prevent and proposed plan is as fol-
lows:

It is to be understood that in the asignment of officers there are three
fire stations that must be staffed and seven groups in each station, how-
ever it is to be further understood that the officers are assigned as to the
number of men and the equipment response from respective stations.
Training
During the year 1%0 under the supervision of Drill Master Captain
Walter Starr the members of the department received daily instruction
in fire fighting and all other related subjects, as well as numerous and
diversified emergency operations that the fire department must contend
with. New methods of procedure were adopted and pat into operation with
excellent results in speedier and more efficient fire fighting.
All members of the department received the complete Red Cross
First Aid course and received the certificates as First Aid specialists. Under
the direction of Captain Starr a Skin Diving squad was organized and
trained for any emergency that might be required in this fast growing
service.
Fire Prevention
Fire Prevention, under the direction of Captain Thomas Joyce, con-
158 TOWN OF WATERTOW\
tinues with reneged vigor and has proven a powerful influence in keeping
fire losses at a minimum.
Inspections have disclosed many hazards and violations, however in
every instance where hazardouis conditions were found or where viola-
tions existed, the conditions was removed or remedied.
Campaigns have been conducted in the interest of Fire Prevention
with excellent results. Such campaigns have definitely proved to be of
great value in preventing fires and tragic consequences.
Auxiliary Fire Department
The members of the Auxiliary Civil Defense Fire Department have
continued to conduct their affairs in a commendable manner. They display
a great deal of interest in their organization and have assisted theFire
Department on numerous occasions.
During the year 1960 Leonard Toombs was promoted from Deputy ,
Chief to Chief, James Ford from Captain to Deputy Chief and Lieuten-
ant Ernest McElhiney to Captain, and Privates Charles Morrison and
Paul McCaffery to Lieutenants.
I take this opportunity to publicly commend the officers and mem-
bers of the Auxiliary Fire Department for their loyalty and the splendid
manner in which they have conducted their activities.
Retirements
During the year 1960 one Firefighter, having reached the age of
sixty-five was retired on pension in accordance with the Town By-Law
governing same.
Captain Raymond A. Murphy was appointed a permanent firefighter
on July 22, 1920. He was promoted to Lieutenant July 4, 1929 and to
Captain January 1, 1930. He was retired on pension June 21. 1960.
Captain Murphy was a dedicated firefighter and a credit to the fire
service in which he served with loyalty and devotion. Captain Miu-phy's
retirement is a distinct loss to the Fire Department and I take this op-
portunity to wish him health and happiness in his well deserved retire-
ment.
In Memoriam
Lieutenant William McCarthy was appointed a permanent firefighter
April 23, 1942 and promoted to Lieutenant October 8, 1959. He died July
17, 19W.
Lieutenant McCarthy was an outstanding, conscientious firefighter,
whose creed was duty above self. His untimely death was a great loss
to this department in which he served with great devotion.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 159
I take this opportunity to extend to Mrs. William McCarthy and
family our sincere sympathy.
Carroll C. Whittemore was appointed a permanent Firefighter No-
vember 3, 1927. He died December 31, 1960.
Carroll Whittemore was a dedicated firefighter, courageous, conscienti-
ous and self-sacrificing. His untimely death is a great loss to this depart-
ment, his family and numerous friends.
I take this opportunity to extend to Mrs. Carroll Whittemore and
family our heart-felt sympatahy.
Conclusion
It is my intent and desire, and the desire of every member of the
Fire Department, to provide the highest quality of service. We are con-
fident that our progress in the performance of our duties will reflect in
increased and better protection to the lives of our citizens and their
property.
I take this opportunity to thank the members of the Board of Se-
lectmen for their co-operation and assistance. I also extend my thanks to
all branches of our Town government for the co-operation extended to
me and the Fire Department. To the members of the Fire Department
I take this opportunity to publicly commend you for the efficient and
effective manner in which you have discharged your duties and responsi-
bilities. Your conduct and the high morale that prevails in our department
is a credit to you and the important service in which you are engaged.
Respectfully
WILLIAM C. McELROY

REPORT OF THE
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION DEPARTMENT
Herewith is respectfully submitted the report of the Workmens' Com-
pensation Department for the year 1960.
The total number of accidents to employees and reported by the
various Town Departments amounted to 105 and this was an increase
of 2 reported in the ,year 1959. The majority of these cases required just
medical expenses. There were medical expenses and disability payments
in 19 of these cases.
At the end of 1960 we are carrying 10 cases of which one we have
had since 1953, one since 1957, four since 1958 and four from 1960.
There are three cases pending before the Industrial Accident Board
of which we are not now making any payments.
The most courteous and usual cooperation was received from the Town
Departments, employees and Town physicians.
Respectfully subgni*ed,
JOHN P. MEEHAN

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
Herewith is respectfully submitted the report of the Town Counsel
for the year 1960.
Upon assuming the duties of office, there were in the files 119 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, 52 cases were received and 74 were disposed
of. Of the 52 received, the majority were for sidewalk defects, a matter
which should be of great concern to the Town.
The work of the Town Counsel has increased over the years, and
it was a priviledge of mine to have an assistant in the person of August
$tiriti, Esquire, to whom much of my work was assigned to.
It was my pleasure to give many legal opinions to various department
heads, and the drawing of various contracts and easemnts 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.

a year-round recreation program to the end that every child in Watertown
shall have a place to play in safety and that every person, young and old,
shall have the opportunity for the best and most satisfying use of his
leisure time. The primary aim of the Commission is to provide fun and

four which are permanent. The other three are appointed by the Select-
men. The four permanent members include the Superintendent of Schools,
Chief of Police, Head Librarian and Superintendent of Parks. The Rec-
reation Director is appointed by the Commission. The structure of the
board is as follows:
1. Officers of the Commission
a. Chairman
b. Secretary
2. Other members
162 TOWN OF WATERTOWIN
The members are responsible for the overall function of the Depart-
ment. This includes studying the needs, raising and allocating funds and
determining policies, rules, regulations and standards for the govern-
ment of the department. Overall administrative problems are acted upon
by the Commission. The job of the Recreation Director is to advise the
board; to bring to the attention of the board all the pertinent information
at his command concerning any problem; to carry out the policies and
orders of the Commission; and to plan, organize and supervise the year-
round recreation program. The Recreation Commission also receives
suggestions from the citizenry of whom the Commission is really repre-
sentative and who's desires it seeks to interpret.
PROPERTIES
Properties used by the Recreation Department during the year 1960
for its various activities were Randy's Bowl-a-way, Boston YWCA, New-
ton YMCA, Boston Skating Club, Oakley Country Club, and the MDC

Bemis, and Warren St. tot lots.
PROGRAM
The recreation program for the year 1960 once again increased over
the previous year. During the year 1959, a total of sixty-two different
age group activities were sponsored. The year 1960 saw the introduction
of three (3) new activities to the program for a grand total of sixty-five
(65) different age group activities.
NEW PROGRAMS, 1960
1 Jr. H. S. Summer Basketball League
1 Sr. H. S. Summer League
Supervised Tennis for Adults at Victory Field
EXPANDED PROGRAMS, 1960
Girls gym activities
Jr. girls softball program
ATTENDANCE, 1960
For the year 1960, attendance at all sponsored activities, youth and
adult, totaled 171,776. For the year 1959, total attendance was 157,416. This
represents an increase in attendance of 14,360 for 1960 over the previous
year. This can be attributed to the increase in the number of activities,
expansion of certain activites and the excellent outdoor ice skating con-
ditions last winter.

PERSONNEL
All employees of the Recreation Commission, excepting the Recreation
Director and Secretary are part-time employees. Part-time employees are
hired to instruct and supervise various programs during the four seasons of
the year.
The large number of part-time employees hired during the year is
necessary as it involves the use of janitors, secretaries, and various school
personnel. Summer personnel also adds to the total as it involves mainly
college students who work summers only.
During 1961, a job analysis for each and every recreation activity will
be provided for all personnel working in the various progams during the
year. Also, all prospective employees will be required to fill out application
forms, making note of their previous experience and education. These steps
will be taken in order to insure the citizenry it recreation program that will
provide for everyone the best andmost satisfying use of his leisure time.
During the year 1960, a three-day training program was provided for
summer playground employees.
PROGRESS
Progressive steps taken by the Recreation Commisson during the year
1960 were as follows:
1. The year-round recreation program was expanded.
2. Sixty-two (62) group activities were sponsored in 1959 as against
sixty-five (65) for the year 1960.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 165
3. Some activities during the year increased in terms of number of
sessions held and length of program.
4. The Recreation Department is affiliated with the National Rec-
reation Association. This provides the department with materials and
information concerning movements, progress and new programs taking
place throughout the country.
5. Closer supervision of all activities assuring the citizens of the town
a safe and enjoyable year-round recreation program.
6. Three new group activities were added to the 1960 program.
7. Training programs for the staff helping to make for better organiz-
ed and safer activities.
8. Additional office and program equipment improved departmental
operations and program functions.
9. Volunteer help was used in conjunction with the Children's Theater
program and the ice skating program at the Boston Skating Club.
10. Equipment and facilities for shuffleboard, sidewalk tennis, cro-
quet, hopscotch and outdoor roller skating improved the summer play-
ground program.
11. Attendance for the year increased over 1959.
12. Summer swimming program was reorganized.
NEEDS
Because of the growth of recreation in Watertown, definite needs
for successful departmental operation have become apparent.
1. Continued development of the year-round program to meet the
ever increasing needs of the citizenry.
2. Additional facilities to take care of program expansion.
3. Increased funds to meet the needs.
4. Development of a girls program beyond the present scope of
activities
5. Further development of the teen-age program.
6. Additional equipment and supplies.
166 TOWN OF WATERTO WN
7. At the present time, there exists a shortage of facilities in Water-
town for future development of a sound year-round recreation program.
Such a program covers ten areas of recreation. There are arts and crafts,
music, dancing, dramatics, nature study, sports and games, hobbies, camp-
ing,social recreation and adult recreation. Without adequate facilities, these
ten areas of recreation cannot possibly be adequately developed. Therefore,
it is highly important that the citizens of Watertown give serious con-
sideration to the development of a recreation building in the not too
distant future. A building that would meet the needs and adequately
serve the population.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following steps are recommended:
1. The year-round program for 1961 be further expanded.
2. That definite personnel standards and policies be adopted, as
outlined by the director.
3. Further development of the girls and teen-age programs.
4. Evaulation of the condition and rate of progress of the department.
5. Expanding the volume of equipment to meet the needs.
6. Two roving instructors be added to the summer playground staff.
7. Streamlining operations of the department in such a way that
all functions of the department are properly scrutinized and evaluated.
8. Research, studies, surveys, evaluations and reports be made con-
cerning areas and facilities, program, publicity and public relations and
other phases of departmental operations.
9. Construction of play courts on all playground hard surface areas.
Example: shuffleboard, hop-scotch.
10. That residents of Watertown give serious consideration to the de-
velopment of a recreation building.
11. That the publicity and public relations program be expanded and
various medics of communication be used to inform and educate the
public.
12. That an annual report be published by the department every year
and be made available to the citizens of Watertown.
13. Finances for 1961 be increasel to meet the needs.
14. Summer playground salaries be increased.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 167
In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to the Chair-
man and members of the Recreation Commission, to the Park Department,
School Department, Board of Selectman, Townofficials, Department Heads,
and local newspapers for their helpful assistance and cooperation during
the year 1960. But mainly, to the citizens of Watertown, without who's
help such a recreation program as is now in existance in Watertown could
not be possible.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
In compliance with the By-laws of the Town of Watertown the Board
of Appeals submits its annual report for the year ending December 31,
1960.
Thirty-four applications for variances or special permits were heard
and determined, an increase of more than ninety percent over the pre-
vious year. Many of the petitions presented and heard involved complex
legal questions.
Numerous cases had to be reviewed, investigated and members of
the Board had to confer with each other on other times and occasions
so that a just decision could be determined.
It is recommended that the Town take proper and necessary action for
a revision of the Zoning By-law and the Building Code. The experience
of the present Board members should prove helpful in this respect.
We express our sincere appreciation to the various Town's Depart-
ments for their continous and courteous co-operation.

REPORT OF THE
VETERANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT
The year 1960 was a truly busy one for the Department of Veterans
Services. There was a slight increase in the number of Veterans Benefits
applications processed, but the extensive changes in Veterans Administra-
tion pension programs) that became effective July 1, 1960 prompted hun-
dreds of inquiries from, persons newly made eligible for consideration by
the Veterans Administration. Each such inquiry had to be evaluated in
terms of the inquirer's circumg'tances, and appropriate forms had to be
made out. The prevalent belief that only persons in need of financial
assistance make use of this office is far from the fact. A greater proportion
of the visitors to the Veterans Services Department are persons who seek
help and advice in their dealings with the Veterans Administration.
The Town frequently stands to gain by the proper handling of its citi-
zen's contacts with the Veterans Administration since federal payments
often reduce and sometimes even eliminate the necessity for Town aid.
Another significant happening of 1960 was the removal of minimum
age limits for disability payments from Social Security. The limited
Federal Medical Care for the Aged program did not become operative
during the year, but is expected to lower payments to nursing homes in
1961.
Budgets for recioents of Veterans Benefits were increased by the
Commonwealth on November 1, 1960 and hospital charges continued to
climb. Many World War II veterans are attaining middle age, with the
consequent result that aid to families of those who are unemployed
due to illness hal been ,increasing. There have been no staff changes
during the year, and none are contemplated. The necessity for larger
quarterq is becoming more apparent each day, however.

REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT
In submitting the annual report of the Park Commissioners for the
year ending December 31, 1960, I would like to thank the members of the
Board, Joseph Dwyer, Supt. of Parks and the men of the Department
who worked so diligently to maintain the Parks of Watertown in the
beet interest of the Town of Watertown.
The increasing programd of the Recreation Department with whom
we constantly work, the co-ordination of the Little League Programs,
and the maintenance of Victory Field and the West Jr. High School play-
ground are a constant demand upon the labor force of the Park Depart-
ment and it is with pride that I point up the fact that the same number
of men who handled the work prior to these organizations have managed
to keep up with the work. It is the desire of the Board that an additional
laborer be approved for the Park Department at the Annual Town
Meeting of 1961 in order that the same high standards may be maintained..

REPORT OF THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT
Gentlemen:
In accordance with Chapter 3, Sec. 2 of the By-Laws of the Town of
Watertown, I hereby submit my Annual Report for the year ending De-
cember 31, 1960.
Attached herewith is a statistical breakdown setting forth all of the
figures necessary to permit an examination of the apportionments, cat-
egorically, of our money expenditures from a Federal, State and Local
level. The breakdown is too orderly, however, in the sense that it does
not portray the complex, intricate fiscal procedures of disbursing and
claiming, that bring about full State reimbursement and Federal Grants
in Aid and Administrative monies; further, the seeming consistancy of our
appropriations figures, from ,year to year, belie the complexities of the
Public Assistance Program with relation to the wide fluctuations in case
load, Legislative enactments, changes in policy and rule from a State and
Federal level and the general upsurge of Special Services costs, particularly
having to do with physicians Care, Hospitalization, Nursing Home Care
and Drugs. Our Special Services (Medical Care Plan) excluding direct
assistance currently requires well over $300,000.00 Annually and due to
the recent enactment of Chapter 781 (An Act relative to the granting
of Medical Assistance for the Aged) the overall expenditure in this area
will soar to a new high.
While it is true that the Federala Government's participation has been
increased from $47.50 per month per Old Age Assistance Case to fifty per
cent of the overall cost per Medical Assistance for the Aged Case, the
fact still remains that Public Assistance is on a strong upsurge financially
and will continue thus until reduced through enactment of Federal Legi-
slation broadening the Federal Security Administration, Division of Old
Age and Survivors Insurance, thus bringing about a National Health and
Security Program free from Public Tax and payable by the individual
through payroll deductions.
In the matter of Old Age Assistance, I anticipated that our total
expenditure in 1960 would approximac $549,181.14. I spent $544,096.28, or
.0095 less than the computed figures.
The Town Appropriation, two thirds of which is reimbursed by the
Commonwealth, was 3327,500.00. I spent $327,411.03 or $88.97 less than
computed. The Federal balance as of December 31st was 814,99927. Ap-
proximately S10,000.00 of this amount is the rseult of a recent increase
in the Federal Grant per case from $41.50 per month to $47.50 per month.
Inasmuch as the Standards of Assistance for direct aid were increased with-
out prior notice by 5.2 in July and our Nursing Home admissions in-
creased 205/c or S12,694.53 over 1959, I feel that this category experienced a
highly successful year. The $14,999.27 Federal Old Age Assistance balance
is available for use by the Board of Public Welfare in whatever area
of the program that seems most advisable.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 171
I estimated that the costs of Administering Aid to Dependent Child-
ren would be $132,038.93, and that our Federal Grant would be $59,778.00
and therefore requested that $72,360.00 be appropriated as the Town and
State share. I spent $122,352.90 or $9,686.03 less than I felt was necessary at
the first of the year. Of the $72,360.00 appropriated, $72,041.25 was dis-
bursed our actual Federal Grant for the year was $54,912.64.
$318.75 has been returned to the Treasurers receipts and a balance of
$7,084.74 in Federal Funds will remain available for use as directed by the
Board of Public Welfare during 1961.
As you know, for the past year and one-half, I have been slowly but
steadily co-ordinating and strengthening the investigatory procedures,
particularly in relation to non-support cases and intensifying case work
in the area of domestic relations, marital relations, alcoholism and mental
health and demonstrating stronger supervision in the area of collateral
as well as primal resources. The result being that the case load was re-
duced by .071, thus producing this reduction approiximating $10,000.00. In
addition to the case load reduction of .071 and/or the conservation from
1960 expenditure of the $10,000.00 there is an extremely pertinent area
dealing with the constant verification of deductible resources, such as
survivors insurance, temporary or part time employment, childrens' earn-
ings, pensions, disability assistance, payments resultant from court orders
and voluntary agreements, etc. which in the aggregate amounts to about
580,000.00 annually. Failure on the part of the Agency to maintain rigid
controls would necessarily swell our appropriation.
Disability Assistance is perhaps the most unpredictable of all the
categories and because of the size of the case load miscalculations on hos-
pitalizations and Nursing Home admissions can complicate disbursements
and endanger the appropriations.
Disability Assistance experienced a mild decrease in all important
areas except hospitalization. I anticipated disbursement would total 574;
48423 for the year 1960 and accordingly our Federal Grant, including a
balance from 1959, would total $31,79021 thus I requested an appropria-
tion of $47,293.00 as the Town and State's share. I spent $74,18224, had
no Town balance but do have on hand $3,992.16 in Federal Aid monies
for use in 1961.
General Relief has experienced the same degree of intensity as re-
gards case wort: investigatory procedures, etc., as mentioned in the Aid
to Dependent Children report for 1960. The result seems to be that the
Agency disbursed $6,423.36 less than reasonably anticipated at the first
of the year. This appropriation balance will of course be returned to the
Tresurers Receipts. When it is noted that I reduced the appropriation
for 1960 from $43,359.90 to $40,000.00 and again reduced it to $34,000.00 for
1961, it seems to indicate that the adjusted procedures afore-mentioned
are paying dividends.
I refer to this category as the "Residual Category" in that the indi-
viduals or families who are indigent within the meaning of the law, but eli-
gible for Old Age Assistance, Medical Aid to the Aged, Aid to Dependent
Children or Disability Assistance fall within the confines of General Re-

sistance. It is unpredictable and therefore is always a threat to any pro-
posed appropriation. However, I feel that the downward trend should
be pursued with the confidence that we can cope with any emergency
during 1961 through the medium of proper Agency, Board and Finance
Committee relationships.
The year 1961 will be a turbulent year in the field of Public Assistance.
The enactment of the law meant to regulate the latest form of assistance
known as Medical Aid for the Aged (Chapter 781) amending Chapter 344
of the Acts of 1957, extending Chapter 118A and containing an emergency
preamble retroactive to October 1, 1960, is not at all clear and fails to
set forth the ramifications requisite to properly formulate a categorical
budget. Furthermore at this wilting no rules spelling out the full intent
and purpose of the law from a Federal level or from the level of the
Commonwealth have been received from the State Department of Public
Welfare.
I have made many medical studies, statistically, one of which, with the
help of the Mt. Auburn Hospital, for the purpose of projecting to a reas-
sonable degree, certain computable costs. Therefore, I have made the re-
commendation to you gentlemen and the Finance Committee that the
Federal Surpluses as of December 31, 1960 now on hand for direct aid
and administration, be coupled with the administrative monies antici-
pated during 1961 and kept flud and apart from any and all appropriations
and Federal Grants in Aid and used as a resource with which to administer
the Medical Care for -the Aged Program. For reference said monies are
contained and encircled on the attached statistical breakdown.
The fact that the Old Age Assistance budget was reduced by the a-
mount it has been in 1961 due to greater Federal participation, mlght
produce a false sense of security. We must keep in mind that there is no
person any way involved with the passage of this bill who will offer any
suggestion as to possible costs. Further, whether the funds be from a Lo-
cal, State or Federal leval, the local tex payer is the one who pays the bill.
Nursing Home admissions increased by 20016 over 1959. At this point
we dont know whether it was accidental, a medical trend, a greater ac-
ceptance or surrender on the part of the aged or the failure on the part of
children or relatives to supply or perform services in their homes to these
people. The fact is however that this area has increased 20% while our
overall Old Age Assistance caseload decreaased only 201o.
The relationship between personnel, automation and contingency ex-
pense is as important as any of the foregoing factors or conditions. This
Agency, from a fiscal standpoint, operates with 33 113016 less personnel
than recommended by the State Department of Public Welfare. This can
be accomplished only through the means of a sound and functioning table
of organization, efficient, modern equipment and machines and the money
to replace and/or maintain same.
When it is considered that the contingent account is comfortably
under 19'oof the total Agency expenditure, I feel strongly that every avenue
and means should be investigated and tested in an endeavor to reduce our
overall capital expenditure by improving our methods of operation. Al-
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 173
though the Watertown Agency has consistently maintained a lower average
expenditure case-wise than the Greater Boston Welfare District which
consists of 38 communities including the City of Boston, I feel more can
be done with greater planning and experimentation. Too many people
feel that nothing can be done about curbing Public Assistance costs,
assuming the atitude that the indigent and unfortunate will always be
with us. This fact we all accept but the constant perusal and pin-suit of
new and potential resources and the constant maintenance of proper ad-
ministrative stanadards has and will continue to lessen losses that neces-
sarily occur due to the very essence of the work. Often times, rapid shifts
in procedure or transition in one form or another is required bringing
about expenditures not at all contemplated at the beginning of the year.
In other words, people, machines and less than 1% of our capital expendi-
tures are only means of conservation and should be avaailable in the pro-
per quantity, quality and service.
At this writing, 8 people out of 14 employees in the Welfre Department
are eligible for varying degrees of retirement, one of whom has served
notice of retirement effective February 28, 1961 one other, not in-
cluded in this count, retired the latter part of 1960.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Watertown:
Your Finance Committee submits its recommendations for the budget
for 1960. We have carefully considered and investigated each item sub-
mitted to us by the various departments of the town.
In regard to the general salary increase sought by the employees of the
town wefind that our employees are paid better than the average of the
towns in our population range except those on the hourly rated salary
schedule. To them we recommend an increase of five cents per hour or
$104.00 per year.
It is further recommended that relative to the American Legion Home,
since this is town owned property, that a committee be appointed to make
a survey of the land and building and recommend a proper solution to this
problem.
Under Legal Services, it is also recommended that a further study of
this budget be made.
We have tried in our recommendations to keep the tax increase to a
minimum and hope that the Town Meeting Members will follow this plan.
The Finance Committee deliberated many long hours on this budget
and many items showed a difference of opinion and were so voted. We did
however, in our final recommendation, make this report the unanimous
vote of this committee.
I wish to thank all the members of this committee for the many hours
of hard work and their faithful attendance at our meetings.

ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 203
SEWER AND WATER CONTRACT, as stated in my report of
last year the Town was obligated as per agreement with Martin Cerel
Realty to install sewer and water facilities on Coolidge Avenue and Grove
Street. This Department drew up plans, specifications and contracts for
this work and A. Singarella & Sons, Inc., was awarded the contract with
the low bid of $54,000.00. This work was started in October with the Engi-
neering Department supplying the lines and grades. To date approximately
1990 feet of 12 inch sewer pipe was installed starting from Arsenal and
Arlington Streets and proceeding along Coolidge Avenue to approximately
Grove Street. This involved a deep cut of seventeen (17) feet at the start
and gradually going into a normal excavation of six (6) to seven (7) feet.
Inclement weather forced the contractor to close down the job and in the
spring work will continue and the rest of the sewer and water mains will
be installed at that time.
THE SEWER AND DRAINAGE COMMITTEE awarded the con-
tract for sewer and drain work to A. Singarella & Sons, Inc. for the esti-
mated sum of $305,000. Drainage work was done on the po-called East
Watertown System, Acton Street System, Laundry Brook System and
California Park System.
The East Watertown System work was done in three sections. Twin
66 inch reinforced concrete pipes were installed under Coolidge Avenue
and two overflow structures were built in Sawins's Pond.
At Arlington Street two Box Culverts 6 ft. - 6 inches wide by 5 feet
high were construceted to connect Sawins' Pond and Williams' Pond.
At Elm Street approximately 492 ft. of 72 inch reinforced concrete
pipe and 184 ft. of 66 inch reinforced concrete pipe was installed from
Williams' Pond under Elm Street through property of the B.F. Goodrich
Company to existing settling tanks.
Under the Acton Street System pipes of 48 inch and 54 inch diameter
reinforced concrete pipe were laid from the Charles River through an
easement to Pleasant Street to Waltham Street and along Rosedale Road
to Acton Street.
The Laundry Brook System of enclosing Laundry Brook by con-
structing a 10 ft. x 7 ft, reinforced concrete box culvert approximately
230 ft. long connecting an existing box culvert under Morse Street to the
box culvert at the rear of the Parker School.
The California Park System consisted of laying twin lines from the
Charles River across M.D.C. land and across California Street, up Cali-
fornia Park and through private property to land of the Raytheon Com-
pany. This work involved the installation of two lines of 42 inch rein-
forced concrete pipe with the necessary relocaton of some utilities and
the replacement of a 3 ft. x 5 ft. Box Culvert.
The work on the project is 99016 complete as of the time of this report.
The remaining 1% consists of cleanup work on the California Park
204 TOWN OF WATERTO VV N'
System and also some minor claims that are pending. The total cost of
entire project including Engineering Services will total approximately
$335,000, leaving a substantal amount in the Sewer and Drainage Com-
mittee account.
On the above work preliminary location plans were made by this De-
partment showing the location and elevations of the existing utilities and
structures. The layout of the drainage work was done by this office with
lines and grades furnished by us for the contractor. This required one
full field party working constantly with the contractor and the Consulting
Engineer, of Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike. By doing this engineering work
ourselves during regular working hours and extra time the cost of the
town was $3200.00. The consulting engineers would have charged $9200.00
for the same work.
Each year new buildings or additions to buildings are located directly
on the ground and then plotted on original plans, kept in this office with
any new subdivisions of land. Prints of these original plans are made and
given to the Assessors Department, and Building Inspectors Department
so that plans are kept up to date in each deparment. These plans show
every piece of property in the Town with the area, lot number„ house
number, and any house, garage or other structure situated on the pro-
perty. These plans are on a scale in most cases of 1" equals 40".
Lines and grades were furnished by this department for the widening
of Church Street at the parking areas, and Parking Meters for the park-
ing area at the rear of the stores on Main Sreet were installed with the
layout of meters, and the center island and parking stalls done by the
Engineering Department.
One survey crew working full time was necessary to prepare plans.
tstimates, profiles, cross-sections, lines and grades for the Highway Depart-
ment for the construcion and maintenance of streets, sewers, drains and
sidewalks.
This Department prepared reports for the Town Counsel and investi-
gated twenty-one (21) accident claims by persons asking for damages
because of alleged defects on public ways. If court proceedings resulted
from these claims, a member of this Department testified as to the con-
ditions he found.
Land Registrations filed with the Land Court concerning properties
in the Town were checked by this Office to see that there was no en-
croachment on Town owned land and public streets.
The Police Department called on us several times to prepare plans
of street intersections in preparation for the erection of stop signs and
traffic signals. All stop signs must be approved by the State Department
of Public Works, Traffic Division.
Construction work done by the Highway Department and any work
done by contractors for the Town, is shown on the statistical charts fol-
lowing this report.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 205
There have been numerous meetings this year of the Incinerator
Committee, Sewer and Drainage Committee, Parking and Parking Meter
Committee, Duplication of Street Names Committee. I have attended
all meetings, I also attended all Sale of the Dump Lands Committee

In conclusion I wish to extend my thanks to the Board of Selectmen,
the Highway Department, and the Town Boards, Committee Chairmen,
Department heads and all members of the Department for their fine
spirit of co-operation given to me.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES H. SULLIVAN

types of licenses and fees. Of this amount, S6,020.85 was for Conservation
licenses and $2,037.00 was for dog licenses, fees, amounting to 5342.85
for writing Conservation licenses, were turned into the Town Treasury.
There was another decline in the number of dogs licensed.
As Collector of Fees for the Board of Selectmen, the Town Clerk's
office turned into the Town Treasury the sum of $39,202.00.
TOWN MEETINGS
The annual Town Meeting was completed in four sessions, although
a Referendum Petition was filed in the interest of the police, which re-
quired a special election on June 14, to act on each individual item in
the budget. The Referendum election sustained and upheld the original
action of the Annual Meeting.
There was one special Town Meeting held on October 17, 1960, called
principally to settle problems relating to the new Incinerator.
MANY ELECTIONS DURING THE YEAR
A real major portion of the work under the jurisdiction of the Town
Clerk for 1960 related to elections. The follwing elections were conducted:
Party Caucus, Town Election, Presidential Primary, Referendum Elec-
tion on June 14, State Primary and State and Presidential election.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 213
This election work, required in addition to daily office hours, nineteen
nights of registration, as well as six nights to cover the elections.
A total of 3,999 persons were registered as voters during the year,
and with the law as it now operates about sixty to sixty-five per cent
of this work was handled in the office of the Town Clerk during regular
office hours, and the balance at night sessions. The November election
voting list totaled 21,522.
The Special Referendtun Election held on June 14, dealing with the
entire budget, covered 358 "Yes" and "No" questions, and was probably
the longest ballot in the history of the Commonwealth. The Town Clerk
and Selectmen requested and were granted a special act by the Legisla-
ture to count the ballots, and the task was completed in two days. All
precincts were opened for the Referendum. Counting was stopped on
the first night at 12 p.m. and resumed the following day at 9 a.m., and
was completed before 5 p.m.
SEGREGATION OF ELECTION WORK FROM
OFFICE OF TOWN CLERK
As Town Clerk, I have for more than a decade recommended that
the Office of the Town Clerk be relocated on the first floor of the Admini-
stration Building in order to better serve the public. On many occasions
during 1960, I had, of necessity to make the trip to the first floor to
register voters because persons were unable to climb the stairs. In addition
to relocating the office, I further suggest that the Town Clerk's office and
the work dealing with elections, such as registration and listing be segrega-
ted for more efficient operation. A special committee is now studying-
the office space problem in the Administration Building.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In addition to again recommending that the office be relocated on
on the first floor, I also submit the following needs:
1. A reprinting and revision of the zoning and building by-laws,
with a suggestion that a charge be made for copies furnished to the public.
2. A study of the question and use of voting machines, now that
the law has been changed so that counting of ballots cannot begin until
the close of polls.
3. A study and revision of the Limited Town Meeting Act.
4. A study and revision of the Precinct Voting lines.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
The Annual Town Meeting of 1960 adopted a sense of the meeting
vote requiring that written committee reports be made part of the annual
town meeting records. I suggest that committee reports be filed with the
Town Clerk in writing not later than January 15, and that such reports
be made part of the Finance Committee report and be mailed to the town
meeting members prior to the annual business session. The value of a
committee report for study is prior to the town meeting, and not after-
wards. The suggesed procedure of publishing committee reports with that
of the Finance Committee is already a practice of some towns.
214 TOWN OF WATERTO"rN
RETIREMENT OF MARY C. GRIFFIN
The Town, and more particularly the Office of the Town Clerk, lost
a veteran employee in the retirement on November 17, 1960 of Miss Mary
C. Griffin. Miss Griffin entered the employ of the town on June 19, 1922
and thus had completed over 38 years of service.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the People of the Town of Watertown:
Herewith we respectfully submit the annual report of the Board
of Assessors for the year ending December 31, 1960.
Appropriation For 1960
The economic growth of the Town as reflected in the total valuation
of the real and personal property has consistently cntinued over the past
fifteen years. 1960 sees our total valuation top the S78,000,000.00 mark with
an annual increase over 1959 of S1,791,600.00. This increase reflects ad-
ditional building and only slightly is accounted for by nereased valuations
on present buildings, which vividly depicts the vitality of our economic
growth. With the contemplated developfent of our dump lands, the future
should show a continued upward trend.
Legislation enacted last year pegging the motor vehicle and trailer
excise rate at $66.00 will result in holding down, from the automobile
owners point of view, an increased excise tax; but at the same time, it
will take from our Town the increased revenue from this tax source, which
we have enjoyed over the years.
The Legislature each year continues to broaden the large number of
exemptions permitted under our statutes. The disabled veteran, the World
War I widow and the blind home owners were afforded additional bene-
fits.
The amount of monies over which we have no control continues stead-
ily to mount each year. In 1960 our share of the Metropolitan Transit
Authority deficit, our share of the Middlesex County Assessments and
our share of the Metropolitan District Commission reached a high of
$754,279.04.
The office of the Board of Assessors is open daily for tho convenience
of the people of Watertown. We weleme your ingiuries. A special thanks
goes to the various Town departments without whose asistance we would
be unable t serve you as well.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
OF THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY
To the Citizens of Watertown:
Within a few weeks we shall have completed five years of occupancy of
the enlarged Main Library. On all sides this addition has been regarded as a
substantial enrichment of our community life. It has resulted in greatly ex-
panded use of all departments of the library. The music and arts room is
drawing a growing group of users. The success of the Young Adults' room
which was a part of the new wing has been particularly gratifying. This im-
portant high school age group have responded with a steadily increasing use
of the facilities provided for them.
It was recognized when the new building was proposed that it would
eventually require an increase in staff. It has been the polity of the Trustees
to delay increases until a need was demonstrated. Last year a request was
made for two additional employees. Since the library operates sixty-nine
hours a week, two employees are required to staff a single position. This re-
quest, refused last year, is renewed in our 1961 budget. The need is now
pressing. Users of the Library are only too well aware that rooms are often
inadequately staffed and sometimes not staffed at all.
The Trustees are again requesting salary increases in the professional
grades in library service. The present schedules are utterly inadequate for the
requirements of these positions. Consequently we are unable to fill them and
now have a vacancy which has existed for more than a year and another of
six months' duration. If the Town wishes to attract and hold a staff of the
quality which it has maintained in the past it must provide for a more realis-
tic salary level.
Watertown has the physical assets of an outstanding library system. An
attractive central library offering all services with an especially strong refer-
ence department is supplemented by three branches conveniently placed
throughout the Town, with readers' advisor service for both children and
adults, and limited reference service available.
These facilities and the considerable investment which they represent are
not now being fully utilized for lack of adequate professional staff to bring
the material to those who would benefit from it.
The additional cost to the Town for a staff adequate in size and pro-
fessional competence is small on the scale of total Town expenditures and in
proportion to the value of outstanding library service. We ask all who are
interested in good library service to urge on members of the Town Meeting
the need for adequate support for the library.
The Trustees express their appreciation to Miss Yerxa and her staff for
their loyal and enthusiastic support.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES T. BURKE, Chairman
222 TOWN OF WATERTt)WN
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library:
The 93rd Annual Report of the Watertown Free Public Library is here-
with submitted.
In spite of many changes and shortages, we end the year 1960 with the
hope that the Library continued to give reasonably effective service to the
community. If it did so, credit must go to the saff which worked hard and
adjusted itself well to many inevitable internal dislocations.
SOME PROBLEMS
From the point of view of administration, 1960 was a difficult year with
problems that could not be solved from the beginning of the year to the
end. Under these circumstances, I cannot report to you that the Library made
real growth; that it extended services and activities. I can report that it
held its own, a somewhat frustrating experience for the Watertown Library
with its inherent strength and its fine achievement record.
What were these problems? A tremendous amount of time and energy,
which should have gone into constructive planning was devoted of necessity
to the business of keeping positions filled so that the library could operate.
It sometimes seemed that we were only just able to keep library buildings
open to the public.
Even with all the effort given to securing personnel, our salary schedules
made it impossible to fill the two professional positions in the Catalog De-
partment on a permanent basis from June-July to the end of the year. The
position of Assistant Cataloger is still vacant; that of Head Cataolger was
filled on a permanent 3/4 basis in October. The Library had no cataloger at
all during the summer months. It is not difficult to imagine the demoralizing
effect this situation had on the Library and on its service to the public.
In addition, our request of last year for additional staff' at the Main
Library was denied. So again this year, we struggled with too small a staff
at the Main Library to adequately handle the size of the business and the
size of the building, and the strain on the staff was considerable. Specifically,
it was impossible to reorganize the Circulation Department as outlined in the
librarian's 1959 report for greater efficiency, by the use of clerical help for
some routines, thereby, making our General Library Assistants available for
work with the public and for assignments in other parts of the library which
badly needed help. The Reference and Information Department was always
understaffed during evening hours with only one person in charge when two
should have been available to give adequate assistance. The Music Room,
which could constitute one of the Library's finest contributions to the town,
rarely had a librarian in attendance. For this reason it circulated 6,090 record
albums, while the music department in a neighboring town with a full-time
music librarian circulated 19,464 music albums in a far less attractive room,
and with a very similar music collection.
Of all the problems, the many staff changes were the most serious. For
:'ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 223
the record, and also to indicate the scope of the personnel problems faced by
the Library, the turnover in staff is given in detail.
Mrs. Judith Greenfield, Head Cataloger, resigned in July to accept a
position in the National Library of Medicine at a salary increase of $955.
Mrs. Emily Woo, formerly Head Cataloger in Arlington, was made Acting
Head of the Department on a permanent 3/4 time basis.
Mrs. Evelyn Herboldsheimer, Assistant Cataloger, resigned in July to
accept the position of cataloger at Lesley College at a salary increase of $520.
Our position is still unfilled because we could not offer an adequate salary.
Mr. Theodore Johnson, Young Adult Librarian, resigned to become Li-
brarian of the Waterville, Maine, Public Library at a salary increase of $790.
The position was filled by the appointment of Mr. Richard Gilman from the
staff of the Boston Public Library to serve as Acting Young Adult Librarian
until he completes work for his library school degree.
Miss Joan Malatesta, General Assistant at the East Branch Library, re-
signed to go to Europe for an extended period. Mr. Peter Hood, a graduate
of Brown University, was appointed to the position.
Mrs. Angeline Anagnoson, Children's Librarian, North Branch Library,
resigned. Miss Marie Hale, an assistant at the Main Library, was given a
promotion to the position. After three months Miss Hale resigned. The po-
sition was then filled by the appointment of Miss Elaine Kligman, a graduate
of Lesley College.
To fill the position at the Main Library vacated by Miss Hale, the Board
appointed Miss Margaret Rose Shea (now Mrs. Fitzpatrick), a graduate of
Regis College. Mrs. Fitzpatrick resigned to accept a teaching position. The
library position was then filled by the appointment of Miss Maria Arpante,
a graduate of Jackson College.
The turnover in staff is, of course, directly related to salaries. College
people, unless they become thoroughly interested in the library profession and
want to go to library school, all too often leave for more remunerative fields
where there is, moreover, no night and Saturday work.
Our professional library school graduates who head our departments and
who are responsible for the information and reference services, technical
processes, readers' guidance, etc.,—these people will not continue on our
salaries, and when they leave it is impossible to replace them. This is all
too well demonstrated by the deplorable fact that as of this date, there are
now only three library school graduates on this staff in addition to the
Librarian.
For some years the Trustees have emphatically brought the salary problem
to the attention of the Advisory Board of Review responsible for salary
recommendations but with little real success. Possibly next year, this Board
should be asked to appoint a special sub-committee which could devote con-
siderable time to the study of professional library salaries, since these have no
bearing on other positions in the Town Classification and Pay Plan. The
recommendations of the Advisory Board of Review for 1961 salaries for
224 TOWN OF WATERTi)Wl:
Grades 7 and 8 (the grades for professional assistants) are far short of going
rates.
Obviously, the salary problem is not solved, or its devastating effect on
the library. Obviously also, the place of the public library in formal and in-
formal education is grossly underestimated.
SOME COMMENTS ON SERVICES
In spite of trying conditions, the year was one of steady work, and of
continuing effort by the library staff to render good service to the public.
The use of the library increased, I believe, even though there was some
drop in the number of books lent for home use. The facilities of the central
reference department were drawn on heavily to the great satisfaction of the
staff. It is evident that townspeople know that they have a fine central in-
formation center in their library, and that they make use of it. The table
below shows the 10 year growth of this department (12.41%,). Apparent is
the tremendous upsurge from 1956 when the new library wing opened.

1950 60 432 325 30 847
In addition to the above, Branch libraries handled a considerable amount
of reference work. Reference work in Children's Departments has always
been an important factor. However, this year, school assignments seemed to
have increased both in frequency and in difficulty so that seating capacity in
Children's Departments was taxed to the limit by children consulting refer-
ence materials, as well as all types of general books and needing staff as-
sistance in so doing. To a great degree, the same situation was felt in the
Young Adult Department at the Main Library.
From the qualitative point of view then, accomplishments were good.
From the quantitative point of view, that is the number of books lent for
home use, there was a slight drop; or so the circulation figures would indicate.
Actually this year, the drop in number was due to an extension in the lending
period which cut down the number of renewals appreciably and thus reduced
the total count.
Of the total adult books borrowed, 52% were non-fiction. However, at
the Main Library 59% of the adult books borrowed were non-fiction. Quite
naturally, people turned to the Central Library for serious reading and study.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 225
SOME INCIDENTAL CHANGES
In April, several changes were made in matters relating to the home use
of books in order to reduce the burden of work at circulation desks and also
to keep up with more modern procedures.
With theexception of new fiction, of music records and of periodicals,
all books are now lent for four weeks with a one week renewal period, in-
stead of for two weeks. Telephone renewals were discontinued because they
had become so heavy that they could no longer be taken care of without ad-
ditional clerical help. Fines were increased to 5c per day for adults in an
effort to reduce the number of overdue books and the labor involved in mak-
ing out overdue notices, even though multiple overdue forms are used. Since
periodicals are such an important source for the reference departments to have
at hand, home use of periodicals was limited to the current year and the
two previous years.
A MAJOR CHANGE TO CONTEMPLATE
The Watertown Library is faced with a change of major proportions and
one that it cannot avoid too much longer. It must reclassify the entire book
stock to change from the old Cutter Classification System, no longer in
general use, to the Dewey Classification System which is in general use by
all public libraries. It is a great disadvantage to a public library when its
book collection is classified by the Cutter System as several libraries in this
neighborhood are. Already Newton has begun to change over from the Cutter
to the Dewey. The Cutter Classification System is now obsolete as no changes
are being made in it, while the Dewey Classification is continually being re-
vised and expanded to cover new subjects and new information. All the aids
published to assist catalog departments indicate Dewey numbers; for instance,
subject heading lists and the Library of Congress catalog cards.
Your librarian has always been aware of this problem and it has been
discussed at times with trustees. The reclassification has never been under-
taken, however, because it involves a tremendous amount of extra work, tech-
nical, clerical and physical, as well as extra costs. However, as soon as this
Library has a good strong permanent Catalog Department; the number of staff
working at the Main Library has been increased, and considerable extra money
has been appropriated for part time help, the Library should undertake this
project. It should be undertaken with the full understanding that a prodigious
amount of detail is involved; that two classifications will be in operation at
the same time and that it will be years before the project is completed.
STATE AID TO LIBRARIES
Library history was made on October 31 when the Massachusetts General
Court enacted legislation providing for State Aid to Public Libraries. By this
Act the State acknowledged its responsibility to assist local libraries and re-
gional library systems as important parts of the education systems of the Com-
monwealth.
You, the Board of Library Trustees, and our Senators and Representatives,
gave full support to the bill which now may be found in the Acts of 1960,
Chapter 760—An Act Providing State Aid For Free Public Libraries.
226 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
The Watertown Public Library stands to benefit in two ways from this
legislation. Under Section 19-A providing for direct grants for local com-
munities on the basis of 25c for each resident, Watertown will receive a di-
rect grant of $9,773 in the year 1961.
Under Section 19-C providing for a state wide system of regional li-
braries, the Watertown Public Library will be a part of the Northeastern Re-
gional Library System.
Under the regional system, a library or libraries, in the area will be re-
imbursed by the State to serve as a regional reference and research center or
centers to meet the needs of all the cities and towns in the area. It is quite
probable that the Boston Public Library may serve in that capacity to the
cities and towns immediately adjacent, among them Watertown. If this plan
develops, the Boston Public Library would also provide this area with a di-
rect inter-library loan service, through which the Watertown Public Library
could borrow book(s) not in its own collection, but for which it had re-
quests. The benefits accruing to libraries participating in the regional system
are obvious.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The Library expresses its appreciation for the fine work done by Mrs.
Walter Wood, who served as 1960 Chairman of National Library Week.
Again, it received fine cooperation from all town departments. This year,
from the Wire Department, which took care of electrical needs on various
occasions; the Tree Department for the extensive trimming of shrubbery at
the front of the Main Library building; the Fire Department, which helped
the library keep its fire extinguishers in working condition; and to the Police
Department which gave valuable assistance in retrieving unreturned books, and
in responding to calls as need arose.
Local newspapers have given the library splendid cooperation and the
library is grateful.
To the Board of Library Trustees, the library staff, and the building
custodians I express sincere appreciation for fine work and loyal support.
Respectfully submitted,
CATHERINE M. YERXA, Librarian

Auto Dealer - Class II 1
For the purpose of encouraging cooperation between the licensee and
the Police Department and with a view to detecting possible violations
of the laws or regulations governing a specific license, the License Bureau
made 1,208physical inspections of licensed premises during the year.
All complaints concerning the manner in which a licensee conducted
248 TOWN OF WATERTO"'N
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 licensee in criminal court. During the year 1960 it was
necessary to prosecute only one licensee:
Allowing an Illegality on Licensed Premises -1
Conviction in this case resulted in the suspension of the Liquor License by
the Board of Selectmen for a period of two weeks.
GAMBLING AND VICE
Immediate action on all information received; thorough investigation
of all complaints concerning gaming activities and continuous surveil
lance of all persons known to have been engaged in gaming activities
in the past or suspected of being engaged in such activity, resulted in
the following complaints being prosecuted in the Waltham District Court
by this department:
Allowing to be Used' for Registering Bets 2
Allowing Telephone to be Used for Registering Bets 2
Being Concerned in Setting Up and Promoting a Lottery 1
Being Concerned in Registering Bets 2

sale or display of obscene or pornographic literature or pictures. On
the whole, the town is pretty well free of this sort of thing. However,
in 1960, the following cases were prosecuted in Waltham District Court:

and after satisfactorily analyzing samples submitted to it by the Mas-
sachusetts Department of Public Health. Procedures for which approval
was granted are:
Eating and drinking utensil Milk Coliform

Approval granted by Massachusetts Department of Agriculture, Bab-
cock Test.
In addition to functions of an investigative nature in the field and
analytical in the laboratory, a considerable amount of time was spent by
the Sanitarian (Health Inspector) in the field of Health Education insofar
as it pertains to environmental sanitation.
DENTAL CLINICS
The dental care and attention which has now almost been taken for
granted in recent years was once again efficiently afforded to the child-
ren of our public and parochial schools during 1960. As usual, the following
schools were given their annual visitation by the simultaneous dual
funtioning dental clinics: Parker, Brown, Coolidge, Marshall Spring, Lo-
well, Phillips, Hosmer, Cuniff, Sacred Heart and St. Patrick's.
Statistics of operative procedures during the year are as follows:
Examinations 4,194
Fillings 1,749
Extractions 68
Treatments 67
Prophylaxes 582
It must be noted that during the course of screening our children
dentally speaking, a marked increase in actual private dental care is quite
obvious as evidenced by operative and orthodontic procedures noted, in-
dicating more interest on the part of parents in pedodontia. In this, we
hope that the function of the dental clinics is not overlooked as deserving
some credit and creating a source of satisfaction thereto.
ANNUAL REPORTS -- 1960 265
Doctor Fantasia is currently attending a postgraduate course in
Public Health Dentistry at Harvard which was successfully completed by
Doctor Zelermyer in 1958. By this means, most recent developments in
public health generally, as well as dental clinics, may be taken into
account in the future of our own clinics in Watertown.
Our gratitude is extended to the Board of Health, School Department
and Cemetery Department personnel, all of whom contributed immeasur-
ably as always to the smooth functioning of our clinics.
PUBLIC HEALTH PHYSICIAN
During the year, the routine bi-weekly visits and emergency treatments
were made at the Sacred Heart and St. Patrick's Schools. There was a
total of 392 physical examinations done at the two schools, and the ap-
propriate referrals to the family doctors were made. The outstanding de-
fects noted in these examinations were the instances of poor posture and
defective feet.
In June, anti-polio clinics were held for adults from 20 through 40 years
of age and pre-first grade children, with a total of 1,466 inoculations
given.
The outstanding degree of co-operation extended by the Board, the
Agent and all the personnel of the Department 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 1960, there were 12 ad-
missions to the Middlesex County Sanatorium, four of which were readmis-
sions. During the year, there were 11 patients discharged from the Middle-
sex County Sanatorium. There were also three admissions to various other
sanatoria; specifically, one to the Boston Sanatorium and two to the Rut-
land Heights Veterans Hospital, with one patient discharged from the Vet-
erans Hospital.
The annual anti-rabies clinics were held on May 12, 13 and 14, 1960,
at which time, 661 dogs received inoculations.
On June 1, 2 and 3, 1960, anti-polio clinics were conducted by the Health
Department, for adults 20 through 40 years of age and for pre-first grade
children, at which time, 1,466 inoculations were given.
During July and August, the Public Health Nurses assisted the Audio-
logist in the Hearing Test Mobile Program, which was conducted by the
Health Department with the co-operation of the Boston Guild for the
Hard of Hearing.
266 - TOWN OF WATFRTO VV N

The opportunity to attend lectures and various public health pro-

the following meetings were attended; a series of lectures on "Venereal
Diseases" once a month at the Lemuel Shattuck Hospital; a 16-week
course on "Mental Health" at the Metropolitan State Hospital; various
lectures and in-service programs on "Attitudes in Prolonged Illness" at
the Middlesex County Sanatorium; the Cerebral Palsy Seminar for
Nurses at the Childrens Medical Center; as well as lectures on School
Health at the Harvard School of Public Health.
During the year, conferences were held with personnel from the
State Department of Public Health, including the Division of Tuber-
culosis, and the Department of Maternal and Child Health, for the
purpose of co-ordinating methods with the idea of offering the citizens
of Watertown a more modern and efficient program of health protection.
A Public Health Nurse was called upon to accompany the Senior
Citizens on their several summer outings and to cover the First Aid Unit
at Victory Field at the closing of the playground season.
In addition to the above-mentioned activities, the Department nurses
made the necessary home visits on communicable diseases, issued releases
to persons having completed the required period of isolation in connection
with communicable diseases; and transported patients and their contacts
to and from the Middlesex County Sanatorium whenever necessary.
MOSQUITO CONTROL
The mosquito control program commenced in April with the spraying
of mosquito larvae in wet areas near the Charles River in the east part
of Town and near Bemis Dump; also low places in the Oakley Golf Course.
The usual "House Mosquito" spray program commenced in June. All
wet places were inspected and sprayed periodically using fuel oil. Catch
basins were sprayed once with a solution of Dieldrin in June and early
July.
Mosquito larvae began to appear again in late August, so the basins
were retreated, this time a granular form of Dieldrin was used. A little
fogging was done in the Whites Avenue area on the night of September
loth because several mosquito complaints had come from that locality.

REPORT OF THE ADVISORY BOARD, OF REVIEW

The Advisory Board of Review, created and existing under the pro-
visions of Chapter 10, Section 15, of the By-Laws of the Town of Water-
town, and supplementary prevision thereto, does hereby submit its
report for the year 1960.

ance with the aforesaid provisions of the By-Laws,appointed the following

ORGANIZATION
The first meeting of the Board was held on September 27, 1960„
at the Town Hall. The Board organized by electing Selectman Philip
Pane as Chairman and Mr. Miles P. Robinson as Secretary. At the sec-
ond meeting held on October 4, 1960, Richard E. Mastrangelo was ap-
pointed as Clerk with compensation to be paid from the Advisory Board
of Review Contingent Account. At the October 4 meeting, the application
form was amended to include information from twelve communities in
Greater Poston which most nearly correspond to Watertown in population.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 271
To aid in their deliberation, the Board compiled comparative salary
data from the twelve communties on the revised application. Tables were
compiled showing the increase received by Watertown employees since
1952. Cost of Living statistics were also taken into consideration.
Three subsequent meetings were entirely devoted to the interviewing
of applicants for increase in salary and/or reclassification of grade.
Following completion of these interviews, the Board too three addition-
al meetings to evaluate the applications and reach its results. Earnest
discussion and consideration were given to each and every application re-
ceived by the Board.
MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS
The Board, in reaching its conclusions, was influenced by four major
considerations:
I. Referendum of November 8, 19M
On November 8, 1960, the voters of Watertown by a substantial
majority granted all personnel within the Fire Department an increase
of S665. The Board sought the advice of Town Counsel John Meehan.
His opinion is that the Referendum serves as a mandate on the Town to
pay the new salaries beginning on January 4, 1961, and to amend Chapter
10 of the By-Laws of the Town to conform to the vote of the people on
this matter.
II. No Major Salary Increase Granted In 1960
With the exception of a general five cents (5c) per hour increase
voted in the hourly rated categories (Section 11-A, Chapter 10), no raises
were granted to Chapter 10 employees at the Annual Town Meeting.
III. Rising Cost Of Living
The Cost of Living, after making proper adjustments for all factors,
has risen 3.7% in the period from October, 1958 to October, 1960. A large
fraction of this increase had already occurred at the time of the action
of the 1960 Annual Town Meeting.
IV. Comparative Statistics
The salary statistics available to the Board from other communities
show that in many instances Watertown employees are receiving less
than employees in similar grades in other communities.
MEETING WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
After careful deliberation the Board prepared a Draft Report which
incorporated the recommendations and proposed changes to the Chapter
10 By-Laws of the Town. A meeting with the Finance Committee was then
272 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
arranged to discuss the Report of the Advisory Board of Review with
that Committee. Each member of the Finance Committee was sent a
copy of the Draft Report and the charts used by the Advisory Board.
These were mailed prior to the joint meeting.
It is hoped that this meeting which was held on November 29, 1960,
was helpful to the members of the Finance Committee in enabling them
to become more familiar with the aims and objectives of this report.
The Advisory Board of Review is hopeful that this meeting will lead
to an agreement in the recommendations maade to the 1961 Annual
Town Meeting on employees salaries.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Advisory Board of Review recomends the following amendments
to Chapter 10 of the By-Laws of the Town of Watertown:
(NOTE: These changes are incorporated into Appendix A which is
drafted in form appropriate for action at the 1691 Annual Town Meeting.)
I. Change In Section And Grade Numbering System
Because of the action of prior Town Meetings, inconsistencies and
inequalities now exist in the ratings of employees: but far more import-
ant, inequalities now exist between employees within the same salary
grade.
In order, therefore, to restore a more orderly form to this By-Law
the Board recommends that the complete method of section and grade
numbering within Chapter 10 ,be amended as follows:
1. That all section numbers be changed from the current Arabic
numeral to a corresponding Roman numeral;
2. That all grades be changed to comply with a new listing which will
start at GRADE 3 and continue to GRADE 27. This will eliminate the
letter suffixes which now sub-divide many of the present grades. Under
this proposal there will be uniformity and equality of maximum pay with-
in each grade.
II. Changes In Grade To Rectify Inequities
Over the years since the adoption of the Chapter 10 By-Law, certain
inequities have developed. It is the hope of this Board that the 1961
Annual Town Meeting will adopt the following recommendations, thus
helping to rectify these existing inequities:
That the Permanent Assistant Registrar receive a grade change to
Principal Clerk. It is felt that the responsibility involved in this
position is equal to that of a Principal Clerk;
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 27.3
2. That the Forestry Foreman be granted a grade change from the
current Grade 6 to the proposed Grade 7 to compensate for the responsi-
bilities as foreman of a work crew with eight men;
3. That the Library Assistants be brought to the maximum salary
consistent with employees of the same grade in other departments, and
since low salaries have made it difficult to attract qualified applicants
for the Junior and Senior Department Heads, they also be raised to max-
imum in grade;
4. That the office of Assistant Town Engineer which has been given
official status by action of the Board of Selectmen be added to Chapter
10 at the appropriate salary;
5. That the Assistant Highway Superintendent be placed in a grade
commensurate with the responsibilities of that position;
6. That the Superintendent of Parks be raised to the maximum Sal-
ary paid to others within this same grade;
7. That the Assistant Superintendent of Wires receive a change in
grade to compensate him for increased duties;
S. That the Health Inspector be raised to the maximum salary
paid to others within this same grade;
9. That the Fire Alarm Signal Operators, the Ambulance Driver—
Motor Equipment Maintenance—Utility Man and the Timekeeper of
the Highway Department be moved from their current grades to the
proposed Grade 12. The Board feels that this new grade is more in line
with the work and responsibilities of the positions involved;
10. That the Foreman Working Carpenter receive an increase in
the maximum he is now receiving to compensate for extra duties;
11. That all personnel in the Fire Department, with the exception
of the Chief, be placed in grades consistent with the mandate of the
people which granted increases by Referendum on November 8, 1960;
12. That, in all fairness, all corresponding positions within the Police
Department, with the exception of the Ambulance Driver — Motor
Equipment Maintenance — Utility Man be placed in the same grade
as their counterpart within the Fire Department.
13. That the Fire Chief and the Police Chief be placed in a new
grade to place them in a salary range more nearly equal to the average
paid these positions in the communities in this area;
14. That the Welfare Agent and the town Engineer be placed in the
grade recomended for the Fire and Police Chiefs. This will maintain
a balance in these positions which has existed for many years;
15. That the following changes in Group rating be made in Chapter
10, Section 11-A (Hourly Rated Employees):
a. That the Signpainter be granted the same hourly rate as is paid
to others within this same group;
b. That the Storekeeper be advanced one group to Group E;
c. That the Shovel Operator, a highly skilled position which re-
274 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
quires licensing, be increased one group to Group F;
d. That the Working Foreman—Carpenter (Park Department) be
granted maximum rate within his current group.
III. General Increase (Salaried Employees — 501o;
Hourly Rated Employees-5c per hour)
With the exception of the Assistant Town Engineer, the Assistant
Superintenden of Highways, the Welfare Agent, The Town Engineer, the
Police and Fire Chiefs, whose salaries have been adjusted, the personnel
of the Police Department, whose salaries have been adjusted to con-
form to the Fire Department, and the Fire Department, whose salaries
will be set in acordance with fhe Referendiun, the Advisory Board of
Review recommends:
1. That all salaried personnel within the Chapter 10 By-Law, with
the exception of those listed in the immediately preceeding paragraph be
granted a general five per cent (501o) increase in salary;
2. That all hourly rated men be granted a general five cents (50 per
hour increase.
COMMENTS
The Advisory Bard of Review feels that the municipal employees
of the Town of Watertown give the Town excellent service and are
entitled to a fair wage schedule. The Board further feel that the schedule
which it recommends in this report (APPENDIX A) for action by the
1961 Annual Town Meeting is a fair one, arrived at after many hours of
discussion and consideration. With these increases, as recommended,
Watertown employees in general are placed in a position favorable with
salaries paid by other communities. It is respectfully urged that this
schedule be adopted as the amended Chapter 10 of the By-Laws of the
Town of Watertown.
The Chairman wishes to thank the members of the Board for their
faithful attendance and the earnest discharge of their duties. The Ad-
visory Board's task is a difficult one which requires a balancing of
the Town's interests (such as burden on the tax rate and needed ser-
vices) against a fair, equitable, living wage for the employees of the
Town. The Chairman feels that tlus year's Board has done just this and
is proud to present this report for 1960.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP PANE

THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATERTOWN PUBLIC
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1960
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Chairman and Members of the Watertown School Com-
mittee:
I have the honor to submit herewith my twenty-second
annual report of the schools of Watertown which is the eightieth
in a series of annual reports of the Superintendent of the
Watertown Public Schools.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Last May the School Committee met with representatives
of the League of Women Voters and the P.T.A. Council who
stated, that they were concerned "with the problem of communi-
cations among those involved with the schools. This includes
communication between school and pupil, school and parent,
school and community—and how the latter two can help the first."
It was suggested that the School Committee put out a paper
simalar to "Our Schools," which was edited and published by the
personnel of the School Department from 1948 to 1951; or that
a "Parents' Handbook" be compiled by the faculty with help
from P.T.A. Council and the League of Women Voters.
A Sub-Committee consisting of Mr. Vincent O'Connell, Chair-
man of the School Committee, Miss Alice McFarland and Mrs.
James Oates School Committee Members, and Mr. Thomas O'Bri-
en, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, was appointed to meet
with a committee representing the other two organizations,
whose membership was made up of the following:
Mrs. George Gordon, Mr. Charles Allen of the P.T.A. and
Mrs. Kevin Lynch and Mrs. G. Charles Norsigian of the League.
School faculty members of the committee are Francis X.
290 TOWN OF WATERTO\1.\,
Mooney, Erald L. Sawyer, Anastasia McMullen, Anne Perkins,
and Thomas A. Roach.
Meetings were held in the Fall and it was decided to pub-
lish in the local papers a series of twenty one topics pertain-
ing to the general structure and policies of our Public School
System.
The editors agreed, very willingly, to print one topic each
week. The subjects to be presented will include: General in-
formation, Kinctergartens, Primary and Intermediate Grades,
Junior and Senior High Schools, Special Services, Evening Schools
and a Conclusion by the School Department, the P.T.A. Coun-
cil and the League of Women Voters.
Through the years, the School Committee, its administrators
and the professional personnel of our Public School System have
invited and encouraged parents, the citizens at large, other Town
Departments, social, religious and business organizations to par-
ticipate in the activities of the schools.
On the other hand, the faculties and pupils have been very
generous in volunteering for service in community projects
through their glee clubs, orchestras, bands, student council
and clubs.
Parent Conferences with teachers on an individual basis,
at the elementary school level, have been very succesfsul in
the guidance of pupils during the formative years of their school
life. School publications, courses of study, directions in the
selection of programs of study, guidance toward careers and
advanced education have been made available to both pupils
and parents. ,
These and the other topics in the series are the means through
which the schools become better known to the public who sup-
ports them.
School public relations have been defined as a process of
communication between the school and the community for the
purpose of increasing citizen understanding of the educational
needs and practices and encouraging intelligent citizen interest
and cooperation in the work of improving the school. Its ulti-
mate goal is to improve the quality of education for the youth
of the community.
Some of the objectives of public relations are: to develop
intelligent public understanding of the school system in all as-
pects of its operation.
To determine how the citizens feel about the school system.
To win the good will and confidence of the citizens in the
personnel and services of the schools.
To promote a spirit of cooperation between the school sys-
tem and the community in sharing leadership for the improve-
ment of community life.
We hope that this series of articles will be a means of in-
teresting the citizens in our public schools and of reaching these ,y
objectives.
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
America's frontier today is definitely intellectual: the schol-
ar, the research worker, the scientist, the engineer and the
teacher are our pioneers. On them our national progress, in-
deed our very existence, depends.
Fortunately, Americans of high talent have come forward
to meet the challenge of human endeavor; in teaching and in
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 29!
music, in art and in crafts, in science and in economics; we have
produced, brilliant clergymen and philosophers, engineers and
lawyers, doctors and politicians. We know that there will
continue to be an ever increasing demand for high-quality lead-
ership in all these fields; we must make sure that the young
people who are potentially such high-quality leaders are devel-
oped in our schools.
Training for this leadership has been and must continue to
be, our primary objective in secondary education.
The success of any high school is measured not by the num-
ber of its all-scholastic athletes but by the scholastic achieve-
ment of its student body.
At Watertown Senior High School we are making every pos-
sible effort with means that the school budget puts at our dis-
posal to recognize, applaud and foster intellectual excellence.
The Class of 1960 is a typical Senior High School class at
Watertown. Four boys from this class were admitted to Har-
vard College, two boys to Princeton University, two boys to
Middlebury College, three students to Brandeis University, six
boys to Tufts University, and one or more students to the
following institutions of learning — Dartmouth, Annapolis,
Cornell, Brown, Barnard, Bard, Wellesley, Mt. Holyoke, Jackson,
Rutgers, Colby, Bates, Simmons, Syracuse, Texas Christian Bos-
ton College and Boston University.
The above list servies to point up the fact that our students
are well trained and qualify for the best schools in the area.
In the face of highly competitive requirements for college
and university placement many of these students are attending
the afore-mentioned institutions on Competitive Scholarships
which again reflect credit on those who helped in their train-
ing. The total value, in dollars and cents, of the competitive
scholarships won by the members of this class was in excess of
$77,000.
To help our students keep pace with the increasingly com-
petitive task of college placement we are grouping our students
as homogeneuosly as possible in the college curriculum classes
so that the gifted may make maximum progress in an atmos-
phere of intellectual excellence. To further insure high level
achievement we 'have instituted the curricula which we call
Curriculum 1 and Curriculum II within the college course. With
the fine cooperation of our School Committee we have set up
minimum requirements for each curriculum which are strictly
adhered to in the placing of our students in classes.
In addition we have increased the content and quality of
our college courses in Science and Mathematics and Foreign
Languages. We have this year enriched our curriculum with
courses in Developmental Reading which are mandatory for
all college students. By developing better reading skills we
feel that our students will achieve higher scores on College
Board Examinations and improve in all subjects where extensive
reading is a requirement.
Furthermore, at Watertown High School we are following
the recommendations of Dr. Conant for a truly comprehensive
high school in a democratic society. Our graduates of the Vo-
cational Departments are making an enviable record in indus-
try. Many large Insurance Companies, the Watertown Banks,
the Raytheon Mfg. Company and many other industrial es-
tablishments of the vicinity have publicly proclaimed that our
graduates are among the very best trained students in the area.
292 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Our business course students score very well in Civil Service
and other standardized competitive tests; our woodworkers are
sought after by local firms and graduates of our printing course
are successful tradesmen in many local firms.
Educational institutions in a democracy are properly ex-
pected to meet the fundamental needs of society. If they are
subject to passing whims and fancies, schools cannot perform
this function. Responsible citizens share with educators a moral
obligation to insist upon wise and careful planning to meet fun-
damental needs and to protect our educational institutions from
hysterical demands and panicky reactions.
EVALUATION OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
At the request of Headmaster John J. Kelley, your School
Commitee unanimously voted to authorize him, on behalf of the
faculty, to ask the New England Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools for an evaluation of the Senior High School
and designated the sum of $1500 to be expended from Federal
Funds Public Law 874 for this purpose.
In order to retain its membership in the New England As-
sociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools it is necessary for
the college or high school to have this evaluation once in ten
years. Accreditation by the Association, which we now enjoy,
is recognized as a stamp of academic approval and all trans-
scripts of scholastic records sent to colleges must indicate
whether the high school is accredited.
The method of procedure for evaluation is as follows: the
faculty of the High School makes a self-evaluation, using the
Evaluation Criteria of Secondary School Standards obtained
from the National Study of Secondary School Evaluation. The
self-evaluation begins with a statement of philosophy proposed by
the faculty, which is followed by a searching examination of
itself and the school. When this has been completed an evalu-
ation commitee made up of members from the faculties of
other New England Schools, appointed by the Association visit
the school, and report on final evaluation.
Members of our high school faculty have been chosen this
year, as in the past, to serve on committees evaluating other
New England High Schools.
SCIENCE IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The Watertown Elementary School Science Committee has
completed the revision of our Elementary Science Curriculum.
In addition to the development of a course of studies, several
workshops and group meetings have been held with our teach-
ers. This program, which began last September, will again be
evaluated at the close of the school year. The Course includes
all pupils from grade one through grade six.
The following is an excerpt from the report of the Science
Committee: "We are living in a scientific world where elementary
school children are eager to learn the basic fundamentals of
general science. It appears to us that it is somewhat late in
the educational program to attempt to arouse interest in sci-
ence if we wait until the student has entered junior high school.
If the child can be given an opportunity for the study of science
in his formative years, it may be, that we can capitalize
on his initial enthusiasm and desire for the learning of science."
—"By no means is it intended that the new course of studies be
so rigid as to exclude imagination and initiative on the part of
the teacher. The new course of studies is merely a guide to
be used, in arriving at a desired goal."—"The major goals of
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960
any subject in the school curricula must of necessity be aligned
properly with the broad results sought for in education in a
democratic society."
Textbooks have been purchased for every pupil. Film strips
and motion pictures which are coordinated with this course have
been added to our film library. Scientific material recommend-
ed by a sub-committee has also been purchased for experiments.
The Elementary Principals hope to have a separate science room
in each building. This room will not only create a scientific
atmosphere, but it will curtail costs by the elimination of du-
plication of materials.
The eighteen teachers and principals who have served on
this Science Committee have spent many hours developing a
sound program. Our teachers have accepted the program with
great interest and enthusiasm.
It should also be noted that this expanded elementary pro-
gram, which represents an expenditure of approximately nine
thousand dollars, will not affect our local tax rate. The entire
cost of this program will be met by Public Laws 864 and 874,
which enable us to use Federal Funds for this purpose.
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 mem-
bers 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

300 TOWN OF WATER.TOV N
COMMENTS ON FOLLOW-UP SURVEY, CLASS OF '59
1. The survey was completed approximately one year following
the graduation of the Class from Watertown High School. This
elapse of time has the advantage of allowing for some settling
of values and plans in regard to future plans.
2. The percentage of graduates reporting in the study and in-
cluded in the tabulation was 98.2 percent of those graduating.
3. Information on the status of thirty-two graduates included
in the report was obtained from sources other than the question-
naire, principally family members, school and college reports,
and employment records.
4. The percentage of graduates attending post-secondary school
institutions is about 5 percent smaller than that of the previous
Class, yet is still more than 40 percent of the graduatees, a posi-
tion maintained for the past six years. The percentage regularly
employed is about 7 percent higher than that of the Class of '58.
5. The number seeking post-secondary school education in-
cludes nearly 8 of 10 of the College Preparatory course grad-
uates, nearly 2 % of 10 of the General, nearly 2 of 10 of the
Business, and nearly 1 % of 10 of the Industrial Arts course grad-
uates. The number regularly employed, including those in Mil-
itary Service, represents slightly more than 2 of 10 of the College
Preparatory course graduates, 7 of 10 of the General, nearly 8
of 10 of the Business, and 8 of 10 of the Industrial Arts
course graduates.
6. The percentage reported being married is 3.6 percent of the
Class. Except for the previous year when those married reached
5.8 percent, this year's percentage is about typical for what it
has been in the past five years. The number married includes
8 girls and 4 boys. This is the first time that boys have reported
being married in the one year follow-up surveys
7. Of the 144 graduates attending school or college 49.3% are
in degree granting colleges as follows: 19.5% Liberal Arts, 13.8%
Teacher Training 6.2% Business Administration, 5.6% Engineer-
ing, 2.8% Fine Arts, and 1.4% Pharmacy and Physical Therapy.
Those attending schools below the degree level represent 50.7%
of whom 20.1 are in Secretarial Training, 10.4% Junior College,
9.7% Technological, 4.9% Preparatory, 4.Ro Nurses Training, and
1.4% Miscellaneous.
8. Of the number of graduates attending degree granting col-
leges slightly over two-thirds of them are attending colleges and
universities in the Boston area, an additional 13 percent within
Massachusetts but outside the Boston area, 11 percent in an-
other New England state than Massachusetts, and 11 percent
outside the New England area.
9. Thirty-seven percent of those attending degree granting col-
leges and universities report receiving some amount of scholar-
ship assistance and ten percent of those attending other schools.
10. The 8.8 percent in Military Service is about the same as that
of last year's Class.
11. Of those regularly employed about three-fourths are work-
ing in Watertown or contiguous towns or cities, and the remaind-
er in Boston. The mean weekly salary reported was $60.41.
Six percent reported weekly salaries between $40 and $49, 40.6°Io
between $50 and $59 and the remainder above $60.

*Percentage of Senior High School Membership only.
The term drop-out refers to students who withdraw from
school before completion of year and who do not attend school
elsewhere. Those withdrawing to attend another school are
called transfers and are not counted as drop-outs.
The percentage of drop-outs from Watertown grades 9-12
for the year 1959-1960 was about the same as the previous year
and approximately 3% below the average for the State.
Nearly two-thirds of the drop outs occur in Grades 11 and
12, with the greatest attrition in Grade 11.
The 2.5 percent of drop-outs per year of the average mem-
bership indicate that approximately 90 Jof every 100 pupils en.
tering Grade nine are remaining to graduate. This is concluded
by multiplying the yearly percentage (2.5%) of drop-outs of the
average membership times the number of years covered in
Grades 9-12, which is 4. Thus 2.5% x 4 equals 10%, the approx-
imate percentage of drop-outs in 4 years of those entering Grade
9: (The number transferring into and, out of Grades 9-12 each
year approximately balance each other.)

REPORT OF THE TOWN AUDITOR A 3
AUDITOR'S REPORT
I herewith present the Annual Report of the Financial Transactions
of the Town of Watertown for the year ending December 31, 1960.
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 mane periodic examinations of the Collector's
outstanding accounts and have found them in agreement with the con-
trols in my office.
The regular examination of the Town's finances by the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, Department of Corporations and Taxation was com-
pleted earlier this year. and their report of this audit, shown elsewhere
in the Town Report, indicates that they were satisfied completely with the
manner in which the business of the Town is being conducted.
The balance in the Excess and Deficiency account at the close of
business for the year 1960 is in the amount of $497,066.91 but again, special
note is to be made of the sharp increase in the Debt Accounts noted in
my report because of additional loans authorized and issued during 1960.
As of January 1, 1961 the outstanding debt of the Town of Water-
town is in the amount of $4,360,000.00.
To my staff in particular, I wish to express my sincere appreciation
for a job well done. I also wish to thank the members of all departments
for their excellent co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. SHEEHAN,
Town Auditor
Watertown, Massachusetts, February 9, 1961

ANNUAL REPORTS — 1960 A 185
REPORT OF THE TOWN TREASURER
The year 19W gassed by without too ►ouch conflict between the
Selectmen and the Town Treasurer over Town Financial matters. Gen-
erally, these matters can be treated as wrestling bouts between the in-
dividuals involved; and the Town Treasurer desires that the outcome,
comply with all existing By-Laws, Generai Laws, and Statutes — in other
words the disbursements of Town money must be absolutely legal. One
incident occurred which is worth reporting on, and it was, whether or
not a negative vote of a Town Meeting is Referendable. There was a
disagreement on this; however, the Treasurer was very happy to see that
the Selectmen were judicious enough to clear the matter up once and
for all, by inserting an Article in the coming Warrant, to allow the Town
Meeting to resolve the matter and I feel sure the Town Meeting in its
wisdom will resolve that — Referendums on a Negative vote are just
a waste of time.
Our funded debt has now risen to $4,360,000.00 as a result of numer-
ous borrowing's made throughout the year, and I believe, this is the
highest it has ever been, in the history of the Town.
In 1959 we made a borrowing of S655,000 at 3.30% for a term of 20
years on the Incinerator at a total interest cost of approximately S262;
000; this staggering interest cost aroused our interest to see if there
was some means to save money for the Town, especially with more
borrowings to be made.
Finally, after discussion and advice from leading financial figures it
was decided that thousands of dollars could be saved by shortening the
term of the loan. Therefore, the term of the borrowing of $930,000 un
the West Junior High School was cut to ten years with a saving of ap-
proximately SW,000. The Senior High School borrowing of approximately
$810,000 was also cut to a term of ten years resulting in an interest
saving of approximatey S80,000. Further loans were made for a period
of 10 years or less, saving further interest costs of thousands of dollar.i.
With all the above money on hand in the Town Treasury, the Town
Treasurer embarked on a program of investing surplus funds and during
the year purchased 90 day U.S. Treasury Bonds aas shown in his report,
earning interest in 1960 to the amount of S21,081.:?.
The new parking lot has been completed and is now in use Mr.
Rupert Baker and Mr. Joseph Fox are to be complimented for their
efforts in completing the project. They spearheaded the drive, as .rep-
resentatives of the Watertown Board of Trade and spent many hours
at Town Meetings, etc. to insure its completion. I also would like to
commend Mr. Henry Hansen of the Town Finance who took the time
and made the effort, to eliminate the parking meters from unused places
and placed them in the new parking lot. This saved the Town about $7,500
which would have been spent for new meters.
I invite the public to make an open inspection of the new area and
A 186 TOWN OF WATERTO AIN
call to their atention the solid insertion of the posts in real cement,
the placing of 4 meters on one post, the first-class lighting which will be
completed in a short time; we have one of the best parking areas in
the state and we intend to keep it that way.
We have a very serious problem in our office we are jammed into
a small area and this is not conducive to good working conditions. Our
clerks deserve great praise for the efficient work they do under trying
and pressing conditions. The offices of the Collector and Treasurer are
very unevenly and unfairly divided. We had hoped that Brother John
would come forth and have compassion on oar• lady clerks, but nothing
was forth-coming. The matter is now before the Selectmen and after
the elections I pledge my sincere, intelligent and hard-working clerks, that
we shall grant them the needed relief and that they, do not have to form
a union to obtain better working conditions; that, there are people,
who care.
