REPORTS OF COMMITTEES MARCH 27, 1961 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON REASSIGNMENT OF THE OFFICES OF THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING James E. Carty, chairman, submitted a report of progress for the Committee on Reassignment of the Offices of the Admin- istration Building as follows: The Committee on reassignment of the offices in the Admin- istration Building and air conditioning of the building which was appointed April 22, 1960 by Mr. Harrington on the vote of the annual Town Meeting of 1960, has met several times in the course of the year. We have held conferences with the heads of most departments in the building and with them, have ex- amined the space allocated to them and considered their prob- lems. The Committee feels that certain changes are desirable, Namely: 1. Air conditioning of the three lower floors. 2. Improved accessibility to the public of certain offices. The Committee feels, on this point, that elevator service would be a step in the right direction. 3. In some departments storage, either of records or of Office supplies is the most urgent problem. Means should be considered for preserving records in a more compact form. There is a need for further study of procuring more storage space. 4. Relieving some departments of the pressure of inade- quate working space, through the reassignment of space pres- ently available within either the Administration Building or other town facilities. The Committee feels that further study of the means to alleviate these problems is necessary before any recommenda- tions can be made. 28 TOWN OF WATERTOWN Since much of this work requires investigation and inter- viewing, enlargement of the Committee is desirable. Therefore, we respectfully request an extension of time and the appoint- ment of two more citizens of the town to the present committee. Respectfully submitted James E. Carty, Chairman John J. Carver Mrs. Donald P. Quimby Mrs. Walter C. Everett Winthrop G. Rockwell VOTED: That report be accepted as one of progress. REPORT OF SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE COMMITTEE Edward G. Seferian, Chairman presented Report of Sewer- age and Drainage Committee as follows: The members of the Watertown Sewerage and Drainage Committee herewith submit their interim report for work com- pleted in 1960 under Phase I of the Master Drainage Survey prepared by the engineering firm of Fay, Spofford & Thorn- dike, Inc. and its recommendlations for 1961. The 1959 Town Meeting authorized the sum of $400,000 for the completion of the first phase of this program. The Com- mittee awarded the contract for this project to the low bidder, A. Singarella & Sons, whose bid was $305,372.49. Drainage work was done on the so-called East Watertown System, Acton Street System, Laundry Brook System and California Park System. I. The East Watertown System was completed in three sec- tions; twin 66 inch reinforced concrete pipes were installed under Coolidge Avenue. Two overflow structures were built in Sawins Pond. At Arlington Street, two box culverts 6 feet 6 inches wide by 5 feet high were constructed to connect Sawins Pond and Williams Pond. At Elm Street approximately 492 feet of 72 inch reinforced concrete pipe and 184 feet of 66 inch reinforced concrete pipe was installed from Williams Pond under Elm Street through property of the B. F. Goodrich Com- pany to existing settling tanks. II. Under the Acton Street System pipes of 48 inch and 54 inch diameter reinforced concrete, were laid from the Charles River through an easement to Pleasant Street and thence to Waltham Street and along Rosedale Road to Acton Street. III. The Laundry Brook System Project consisted of enclos- ing Laundry Brook by construction of a 10 foot by 7 foot re- inforced concrete box culvert approximately 230 feet long con- ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 29 netting an existing box culvert under Morse Street to the box culvert at the rear of the Parker School. IV. The California Park System consisted of laying twin lines from the Charles River across M.D. C. land and across Cali- fornia Street, up California Park and through private property to land of the Raytheon Company. This work involved the in- stallation of two lines of 42 inch reinforced concrete pipe with the necessary relocation of some utilities and the replacement of a 3 foot by 5 foot box culvert. The work on the four-phase project is 100% complete as of this time with only the adjustment of a few minor claims pending. The total cost of the entire project is $320,680.93 leaving a substantial balance in the Sewerage and Drainage Account which can be utilized for the second phase of our drainage pro- gram which will be outlined later in this report. The final contract price, less engineering fees, amounted to $276,047.99 or a saving of $29,000 from the bid price. A Certificate of Completion, dated February 8, 1961, was filed by our Engineer stating "that all work under this contract was handed competently." The Sewerage and Drainage Committee met on January 12, 1961 at the Administration Building and voted unanimously to recommend to the Finance Committee and the Town Meeting a continuation of Phase I of the Master Drainage Plan to accom- plish the following projects as recommended by the Committee Engineer: (See Article 67 of 1961 Town Meeting Warrant). 1. The extension of the Hood Rubber line in East Water- town to the corner of Melendy Avenue and Oak Street. The estimated cost of this project is $170,000. 2. The extension of the Acton Street System in Acton Street from the corner of Rosedale Road to Rutland Street. The estimated cost for this line is $120,000. 3. The construction of the drain in Saltonstall Park in the old railroad bed from the end of the existing 72 inch line to Forest Street. The estimated cost of this line is $110,000. The total cost of these three items, which comprise the next phase, will be $400,000. To finance this project we are requesting that the Town Meeting approve the transfer of funds from the Sale of Town Lands Account, as recommended by the Finance Committee, and the utilization of the balance remaining in the Sewerage Drainage Account. By following this procedure, no amount made available for this project would have to be levied on the polls and estate. 30 TOWN OF WATERTOWN We respectfully ask that the Town Meeting approve the recommendations of the Sewerage and Drainage Committee as approved by the Finance Committee by voting Article 67 of the Warrant.

Curran submitted a report under Article 2, for the Committee on Public Works, as follows: In accordance with the motion made under Article 104 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1959, said article pertaining to the advisability of a Department of Public Works for the Town of Watertown, said motion reading as follows: VOTED: "To Authorize and direct the Moderator to appoint a committee composed of ten Town Meeting Members and a Civil Engineer, said committee to report back at the 1960 An- nual Town Meeting on the following question—" the avisability 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 M- r. Joseph J. Mazza, 31 Keenan Street (Deceased January 28, 1961) Mr. Frank J. Argento Mr. Mlarcello J. Guarino, 40 Elmwood Avenue (Engineer) Mr. Gerard Joyce, 29 Harrington Street Mr. James F. Brett, 50 Bates Road and John J. Curran Philip Pane Edward G. Seferian, Selectmen ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 31 The Committee organized by electing Selectman John J. Curran its Chairman, and Mrs. Evelyn McGowan its Secretary. Thereafter meetings were held on the following dates: Sept. 28, 1959; November 13, 1959; January 19, 1960; March 1, 1960; March 15, 1960; December 20, 1960; January 9, 1961 and March 7, 1961. The Committee made a report of progress to the 1960 An- nu;al Town Meeting of 1960, and the Committee was continued in existence until the Annual Town Meeting of 1961. The Committee first approached the problem by endeavoring to ascertain if there was to any marked degree an excess of manpower or equipment in any department which could be utilized in a practical manner by any other department. To this end, the heads of the various Departments involved ap- peared before the committee and stated their views, and also submitted in writing their conclusions. Suffice to say, for the purposes of this report, that except in minor instances, there appeared to be no such situation prevailing which would war- rant the consolidation of all the departments into a Department of Public Works, except in the Park and Tree Departments where during the winter months it appeared to the Committee there might be an excess of manpower which could be used in the Cemetery Department, or in other ways to better advantage. Throughout all its deliberations the Committee, in study- ing the so-called Standard Act, was unanimous in its belief that this was thoroughly unsuited to the Town of Watertown in any event, and that if the Town were to have a Department of Public Works in any form, that there should be special legisla- tion enacted by the General Court to this end, and which pro- vided for the Board of Selectmen to be the Board of Public Works. It appeared to the Committee that the addition of an additional Board, to work out problems with which they would be thoroughly unfamiliar, could only result in confusion and make a political football of this radical change in the set- up of the Town Government. To aid the Committee in its study it went twice to the Town of Weymouth, once to confer with the Board of Public Works and again with the Board of Selectmen in order to familiarize themselves with the method of operation in that Town and to secure the views of the Board and the Selectmen. Generally the views of the said Boards were to the effect that Public Works had proved a benefit to the Town of Weymouth, and that it had saved them manpower and the better use of equip- ment, although they were unable to quote any figures which would substantiate this view. This is more readily understood when we realize that the Town of Weymouth is approximately two and one half the size of Watertown, and was in the midst of a tremendous building boom which presented many problems, which led to the adoption of a Board of Public Works. 32 TOWN OF WATERTOWN The Committee also discussed with the Town of Lexington Board of Selectmen, who comprise the Department of Public Works. Again, this Board .was of the opinion that the Town had benefited -by the _.creation of the Department, but again noticeably, their problems were entirely different from the Town of Watertown. Also, their employees were not under Civil Service, something which might present a problem to Watertown. One of the features which favor the creation of a Depart- ment of Public Works Is the interchangeability of manpower in the various departments involved. Also, upon the retirement or death of 'an employee it would not necessarily mean that his place would have to 'be filled. The placing of all authority under a single head, a Superintendent of Public Works, respon- sible to the Board of Selectmen, would eventually mean the elimination of some positions of Department Heads, with pos- sibly only- a foreman nominally in charge of a department. All the aspects of a Department of Public Works, including the office of Superintendent, were thoroughly canvassed and studied by the Committee. It was unanimously agreed that in the event a-favorable report were to be made, that a special act of the legislature, creating a Department of Public Works with the Board of Selectmen constituting the Department, together with a "no-fire-no-hire" policy to protect the present permanent members of the various departments be incorporated into any such legislation; also that the legislation contain a provision that the Superintendent be not placed under Civil Service. At the conclusion of the deliberations of the committee a poll was taken as to whether a majority favored the creation of a Department of Public Works. The committee was evenly di- vided, as a result of which the committee stood opposed thereto. However, as the committee has spent many hours in deliberation but it is not prepared at this time to make a specific recommen- dation, it respectfully requests that it be extended to finally report back to the next Special Town Meeting or Annual Town Meeting. Committee on Department of Public Works By JOHN J. CURRAN, Chairman VOTED: To receive report APRIL 3, 1961 PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE ENLARGED On motion of Richard Mastrangelo, duly seconded, it was VOTED: That the Committee on Public Works be continued and increased by two members, and report back to next Town Meeting.

Due to the change in the by-law voted by the 1960 Town Meet- ing we were able to start our hearings and investigation of the various requests of the departments of our Town on December 1, 1960: This resulted in more careful consideration and perusal of each ite msu bmitted to the Finance Committee. Meetings were held with the Advisory Board of Review and all proponents of articles in the Warrant requesting increases in- the salary schedule. After due deliberation of these items the Committee voted to adaopt the plan of the Advisory Board with. minor exceptions. Our recommendations result in a cut in the request for ap- propriations of over $261,000.00 and if the plan of the Committee iG followed the tax increase to the taxpayer could be held to a minimum of less than 6% per thousand as indicated in the esti- mated figures below.

Mannix North Branch 130 'TOWN OF WATERTOWN, REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY To the Citizens of Watertown: An outstanding event in the year just passed was the forma- tion of the Friends of the Library group in Watertown. Under the presidency of Mr. Robert Glennon an enthusiastic group of citizens has been gathered, and the work of organization com- pleted. Their first event, an Authors' Night and Open House at the Library carried out with the cooperation of the Library staff, was an outstanding success. The existence of such a group interested in our Library holds great promise. Also during the year State aid for libraries became effective for the first time in Massachusetts under an act passed in 1960. This act provides for cash aid to local libraries which meet certain qualifications and for the institution of regional libraries which will supply assistance to smaller libraries in their regions. Watertown. meets the required standards in all respects except the amount appropriated for books. Two years are permitted to bring our expenditure for books up to 12 per cent of our total expenditure. The State grant amounts to 25 cents per capita — about $9,500.00 for Watertown. The problem of staff salaries and its attendant difficulties of turnover and short tenure has not gone away. The problem is not one of cost-of-living adjustment but that of attracting and retaining trained professional personnel. Again this year the Trustees are bringing to the Town Meeting salary recom- mendations which have been adversely reported on by the Ad- visory Board of Review. Our experience with the*•Advisory Board of Review con- tinues unsatisfactory. This Board deals primarily with Civil Service employees in departments responsible to the Selectmen. It is too much to expect that such a board will give adequate con- sideration to a group of non-Civil Service professional employees in a department reporting to another elected board. It is a basic principle of business administration that salary deter- mination properly belongs to the authority responsible for the department's operation. Chapter 78, General Laws, states that the Trustees of the Library shall be responsible for the expendi- ture of all money appropriated by the Town for the use of the Library. The Trustees are requesting the Town Meeting to repeal the section of Chapter 10 dealing with the -Library staff. The Trustees wish to 'thank our Librarian and-staff for a year of successful operation due in great measure- to their devoted efforts. For details 'of the operation of the Department you -are referred to the Report of the Librarian. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES T. BURKE, Chairman ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 131 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN To the Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library: The 94th Annual Report of the Watertown Free Public Library is herewith submitted. PERSONNEL Resignations Again this year the turnover in staff was a seri- ous problem and again this year it is recounted in detail for historical reasons because of its effect on the Library. At the beginning of the year, the Library had two vacancies in its Catalog Department, the Head Cataloger and the Assistant Cataloger. In addition, there were five resignations during the year. In March, Mr. Peter Hood resigned as General Assistant at the East Branch Library. The vacancy was filled by the ap- pointment of Miss Barbara List, a graduate of Boston University. In June, Miss Maria Arpante, General Assistant, Main Li- brary, resigned to do post graduate work at the University of Madrid. The vacancy was filled on a lower grade level by the appointment of Miss Wendy McDonald, who will continue to work for her degree. In Sepiember, Miss Jean Fairgrieve, General Assistant, Main Library, resigned to finish graduate work for her Library School degree at the School of Library Science, Simmons Col- lege. To fill this vacancy, the trustees appointed Miss Irene Demers, a 1960 graduate of Regis College, who had taught for one year at La Paz, Bolivia, South America. In August, Miss Elaine Kligman, resigned as Children's Li- brarian at the North Branch Library, to accept a teaching posi- tion. To carry on the work, the Board appointed at a lower grade level Mrs. Susie Abel, who has completed three years of college at the University of. Pittsburgh. In September, also at the North Branch Library, Mrs: Ruth Cowles resigned to accept a position as Librarian with the Nuclear Metals, Inc., in West Concord. Miss Josephine Todino, a business school graduate, was appointed to the position. With one exception, resignations this year were all from college people. They left either for more remunerative fields of work or to complete advanced study which would lead to higher pay and they were difficult to replace at the rates the 132 'TOWN OF WATFRTOWN Library offered. In 1960 not one college graduate applied to the Library for work, while local and neighboring school depart- ments had innumerable applicants. Because the Library has not been in a favorable position financially to attract library school graduates, it has .become dependent on securing college graduates who are encouraged to take professional courses and who become more valuable the longer they stay. Unfortunately, all too often they do not re- main with this Library while finishing work for their library school degrees, as this year's experience indicates, but even when they do and secure their degrees they inevitably leave for better paying library positions elsewhere. The effects of the turnover described above were multiple. The Librarian was almost constantly involved in filling positions to the exclusion of effective planning; the work of more per- manent staff members was overloaded. All in all, the quality of service was jeopardized. The Library was fortunate to retain its three library school graduates (in addition to the Librarian) and also the three college graduates who are rapidly advancing toward their library school degrees. Appointments Three appointments strengthened the staff also. In the 1961 appropriation money was granted for a non- professional assistant in the Circulation Department. Miss Mary Anne Kiely, a graduate of Watertown High School, was appointed to the position in May. Only by good fortune were the positions of Head Cataloger and Assistant Cataloger finally filled, each having been vacant for over a year. Mrs, Lucy Bidwell, a Simmons Library School graduate, was appointed to the head position. Mrs. Bidwell, with excellent cataloging experience, was persuaded to resume work after a number of years devoted solely to her family. The position of Assistant Cataloger was filled by the appointment of Mrs. Stella Frimmel, a Watertown resident, who will receive her degree from Simmons College Library School in the summer of 1962. The Catalog Department is in a stronger situation now than it has been for several years. It is obvious that the operation of this Library and all its services depend on a greatly increased salary schedule. It is, therefore, disappointing to learn that again this year the Ad- visory Board of Review did not accept the salary recommenda- tions of the Board of Library Trustees. Professional Activities The staff has been encouraged to par- ticipate in professional activities. Miss Yerxa served as vice- president of the Metropolitan Boston Library Planning Council ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 133 now called the Greater Boston Library Administrators; as the chairman of the Nominating Committee of the Regional Advisory Council for the Metropolitan Boston Region, 1961-1962; and as chairman of the Personal Service Committee of the Massa- chusetts Library Association, 1961-1962. Miss Mary McNally was a member of the sub-committee on certification of librarians of the Massachusetts Library Associ- ation. Mrs. Doris Johnson was on the Recruiting Committee of the Massachusetts Library Association, and Miss F. Elizabeth Gillis served on its Intellectual Freedom Committee. A book talk was given by Miss M. Carolyn Blake to the Fidelis Group of the Baptist Church and by Mrs. Ruth Elphick to Quota International, Cambridge. Mrs. Rose Brady assembled an exhibit of books, both juven- ile and adult, for the Greek Heritage Art Festival held at the Taxiarchae Community Center, Watertown. Miss F. Elizabeth Gillis did some professional book re- viewing of children's books for the publication BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS. BUILDINGS Watertown has developed a fine system of library build- ings. The central library with the 1956 addition is outstanding in attractiveness and adequacy, and all parts of town receive neighborhood service through three well located branch libraries. Upkeep of all buildings was maintained in 1961 so far as minor repairs were concerned. Since no money was appro- priated for painting in 1960 (or 1959) there is urgent need of outside painting of the trim at the Main Library and the East Branch Library -as well as some inside painting in both buildings. Money to cover this work was incorporated in the appro- priation request for 1962. It is to be hoped that the Library's policy of doing some painting each year will now be reestab- ished by yearly painting appropriations. One maintenance job of major proportion was taken care of on the wall of the Children's Department, Main Library, where water was seeping through the bricks. A special appro- priation made it possible to correct the situation by excavating and washing the wall from grade level to foundation, plaster- 134 TOWN OF WATERTOW N ing the wall with cement mortar, and waterproofing it. A stone drain was laid and a dry well built with a new conductor pipe connected. All of the library buildings lack air conditioning. The sit- uation is particularly acute in the Reference areas of the orig- inal Main Library building where the heat is almost unbearable during hot weather. Comfortably cool library buildings would make a tremendous difference in the use made of all library facilities in summer months. BOOKS The Watertown Library has always been able to take pride in the quality and extent of its bookstock. However, in recent years the amount spent for books has not increased enough to compensate for the large increase in book prices in all categories. In other words, the Library has not maintained its book buying power. In 1961 we became particularly aware of this. Once more, the number of new titles purchased did not meet the standards of the American Library Association. Moreover, the book appropriation did not meet the standard established by the State for a public library in a community of this size asking for State Aid money under the new State Aid for Public Libraries Law. The Library did not need the above standards to know that it was not spending enough for books, since it was difficult in 1961 to allocate money in sufficient amounts to cover new books, duplicate copies of books in demand, replacement of standard books worn out through use, expensive reference books and of course, children's books. There is a direct relation between the number of new books purchased and the circulation. When it is not possible to pur- chase a sufficient number of new books to meet the needs of the Town, then the circulation of books begins to drop. The Library experienced this factor in 1961. This is inevitable. Any good library giving superior reference and information services must always buy books needed for serious work, even if other areas suffer. Moreover, children's books must have preferential treatment also. Watertown has failed here in one respect. Due to insufficient book money, the Library has not issued a library card to children until they are in the second grade. Although parents and schools have requested that a card be• issued when a child can sign his name, and the Library recognizes that this is quite customary in other towns at the present time, the Li- brary had an insufficient supply of easy books to meet the potential demand. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 135 The Library is Hopeful that a far larger amount for books will be appropriated next year. One of the major projects planned for 1962 is a careful inspection of at least a large part of the book stock, and the systematic weeding out of dead wood. Although some discarding is done continually, a major weeding out of obsolete material has been deferred, of necessity, partly because other important projects had to be taken care of, but mainly because of staff shortages. In her annual report for 1960, the Librarian discussed in some detail the need for a complete reclassification of the book stock from the Cutter Classification System to the Dewey Clas- sification and what would be involved in detail and costs. Basic to this reclassification and the preliminary step in it is the pro- posed removal of obsolete material from the book collection. SERVICES It is a difficult thing to evaluate the services of a good library. To be sure statistics tell the story of how many books were -circulated, but they do not tell the values which the in- dividual derived from reading a book(s). Moreover, there is no way of judging just what the Library contributed to people who read within its walls, or properly to evaluate the intrinsic or even monetary value of a superior reference service. We do know that tremendous social, economic and political changes and scientific discoveries altered the course of events; that Sputnik rocked the free world -and in so doing re-emphasized that what some one has.called "mental capital' is the most val- uable asset any nation can posses. In : both accelerated formal -and informal education with its dependence on book knowledge the public library is now as always the vital and indispensable core. , _ In 1961, the number of registered borrowers increased. A total of 15,516, or nearly 40% of the population, are now card holders which is considered a good percentage. The circulation at the Main Library of.adult books of non-fiction was 58.34% of the total number circulated, a high .non-fiction figure. The .total for the whole system was 47.53% non-fiction. 1961. was a tremendously. busy year in all areas within the library buildings, while at the same time there was some drop in the circulation of books for home use. ' From the elementary grades, through high school the amount of reference work being done was significant, for it was an indication of the greater 136 TOWN OF WATERTOW N amount and greater difficulty of school assignments. Branch Libraries, the Central Reference Department, the Young Adult Department and Children's Department reported that physical facilities and book resources were taxed to the limit. The Ref- erence Department was used in the same fashion by college students. In addition to its work with students, the Reference Department was heavily used by adults seeking various kinds of information and satisfying various kinds of interests. In 1961, this department answered 10,474 questions. Films The Library is in a position to supply films to local organizations because it is a member of the State film cooper- ative operated by the State Department of Education and be- cause of its access to some outstandingly good free films. It is hoped that the film service will be more widely used as time goes on. In 1961, 101 films were borrowed, 49 more than in 1960, Record Albums Townspeople have a very fine record collection available to them at the Central Library, a collection which has grown steadily since 1951. Starting with representative works of the major composers. the collection has been expanded to include folk music, music of popular musical comedies, the spoken word such as documentary records, poetry, drama and finally language instruction. 7,253 records were borrowed in 1961 an increase of 1,163 over the number borrowed in 1960. Circulation Department Following the appointment of a library assistant in the Circulation Department to take care of many routines it was possible to reorganize the Department by mov- ing sections of the charging desk concerned with the discharging of books behind the scenes to the work room. Now the staff at the front desk is freer for professional contacts with bor- rowers. Moreover, the Library has made an important first step in divorcing clerical details from professional service in the minds of the public. Catalog Department Final success in the filling of the two pro- fessional positions in the Department was a highlight of 1961. Operating with full man power for the last six months of the year, the Department was able not only to catalog the new books, but to make a beginning on the revision of subject head- ings and to give attention to a backlog of other details. Outside Contacts Today, it is the responsibility of the Library to develop a good public relations program by making contacts with business, industry and various town groups, etc., to ac- quaint them with Library service. This has not been done to a sufficient degree because the Librarian could leave the Library ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 137 too seldom in the face of constant staff turnover at all times of year, and because she had no staff member to call on who was not closely tied to a rigid schedule. PUBLIC RELATIONS Friends of the Watertown Free Public Library The Chairman of the Board of Library Trustees stated in his annual report "an outstanding event in the year just passed was the formation of the Friends of the Library group in Watertown." The beginning of this group dates from the open meeting held in the Library on February 15th which was called by Mr. Burke, the Chairman of the Library Board. At this meeting Mrs. George R. Wallace, Chairman of the Board of Library Trustees of the Fitchburg Public Library, spoke about the value of the Friends of the Library to the Fitchburg Public Library and to the city. On April 17th a second open meeting was held in the Library at which Mrs. Kenneth C. Spengler, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Robbins Library, Arlington, discussed the work of the Arlington "Friends." At this meeting a Constitu- tion and By-Laws were discussed and provisionally adopted, and officers were elected. Over 100 people, including 19 Watertown authors, attended the Authors Night and Open House which the Friends of the Watertown Public Library sponsored at the Library on November 16th. Many fine book exhibits were features of the Open House; outstanding was the exhibit of books by Watertown authors past and present which was organized by Miss Mary McNally, Assistant Librarian. National Library Week National Library Week was held April 16-April 22. Mrs. Edward F. Kelley, a member of the Board of Library Trustees, served as Chairman and developed an interesting and active program for the week. Churches and schools cooperated in emphasing books and reading in their programs. Several banks and stores provided window space for book exhibits arranged by Library staff. In addition, on April 17th, the Friends of the Watertown Free Public Library held an important organization meeting. On Thursday, the Library cooperated with the Children's Theatre of the Watertown Recreation Commission in sponsoring a play given at the Watertown High School. During intermis- sion, Mrs. Brady, Supervisor of Work with Children, spoke about juvenile books and the various programs the Library offers for children. 138 TOWN OF WATERTOW N On Friday, April 21st, a Sports Night was held at the Water- town High School, arranged by Mr. John J. Carver, a trustee. In addition to talks by well known sports personalities, the program was related to the Library by a representative exhibit of sports books, about which Mr. Richard Gilman, Young Adult Librarian, spoke. The Garden Club of the Watertown Woman's Club pro- vided flowers for all library buildings; and the Watertown Art Association exhibited a large collection of the paintings of its members. STATE AID TO LIBRARIES During 1961, only one part of Chapter 760 — An Act Pro- viding for State Aid for Free Public Libraries — was in oper- ation. That part was Section 19A, providing for direct grants. Under Section 19C regional library systems are to be established. Each region, including the Northeastern of which Watertown is a part, worked on a regional plan through its Regional Advisory Council of which your Librarian is a member. These plans were submitted to the State Board of Library Commis- sioners which has the responsibility of approving or disapproving them before they go into effect. TRUST FUNDS In the appended statistical report is to be found a list of the Library's Endowment Funds by name, together with their amounts. For some reason the Watertown Public Library has not been the recipient of many bequests, although very many li- braries have large endowment funds. Bequests to libraries per- petuate the donor or the person in whose memory the bequest is made in a peculiarly fitting way by enriching the Library and through it the community. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Librarian thanks the Board of Library Trustees for its continued support and assistance, and the staff and the Build- ing Custodians for their efficient work and loyalty. Thanks go also to all the Town departments which have helped the Library on so many occasions, and to the many library friends who have given books to the Library or supported it in various ways. ANNUAL, REPORTS.-= 1961 - 139 Thanks go also to all the Town departments which have helped the Library on so many occasions, and to the many li- brary friends who have given books to the Library or supported it in various ways. To the newspapers which'have cooperated most generously, special gratitude is expressed. Respectfully submitted, _ _ CATHARINE M.

ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 143 REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT The Annual Report of the Wire Department for the year ending December 31, 1961 is submitted herewith:— INSPECTIONS Eight hundred and fifty (850) permits for wiring and fix- ture installations and five (5) annual permits for plant oper- ations were issued during the year. Inspections and re-inspections occasioned by the issuance of these permits plus inspections of buildings and business properties to be re-occupied, resulted in approximately three thousand (3000) individual calls. Re- ceipts for permits in the amount of $450.00 has been paid to the Town Treasurer. MAINTENANCE The regular recurrent maintenance work of repairing, test- ing, oiling, cleaning and painting of our Fire Alarm, Police and Traffic light equipment was performed. Also repairs on all Town owned electrical equipment in buildings were made when- ever we were able to do so. The supervision of street lighting was given much time and many corrections made to better our lighting conditions. Also the C. D. Signal system has been maintained and many special lighting programs carried out— such as Christmas Lighting, Recreation Lighting, etc. DAMAGE TO TOWN PROPERTY Motor vehicle accidents were responsible for damage to the extent of $267.82 — this includes labor and materials to Town owned traffic lights and in each case, the Town Counsel and Town Clerk were notified, so as to make claim for recovery of the cost of damages. The above amount also includes labor and materials for Fire and Police signal boxes. FIRE ALARM HEADQUARTERS This Division is on a 24 hour a day basis and handled one hundred and thirty-five (135) alarms of fire from boxes pulled on the street; one hundred and sixteen (116) alarms of fire re- ceived by telephone; two thousand eight hundred and twenty- four (2824) alarms of fire received over our Mutual Aid circuits; fifteen (15) alarms of fire received over A.D. T. circuits. The fol- lowing tests were made by operators: Mutual Aid (4380), Auxili- ary Generator 104, daily circuit test 5175. The operators also transmit "No School" Signals; admit officials into the Adminis- tration Building after hours and contact Wire Department per- sonnel after hours for emergency work on Fire Alarm, Police and Traffic light breakdowns. 144 TOWN OF WATERTOW`I ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Acknowledgments are made to the various Town Depart- ments, The Boston Edison Company and the New England Tele- phone and Telegraph Company for the courtesies and co-operation extended to me during the year. Respectfully submitted AMBROSE P. VAHEY Superintendent of Wires REPORT OF THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT The following is a report of the Purchasing Department. During the year a total of 5817 separate orders were issued and this total included 1420 orders for the School Department. There were a total of 289 sealed bids that included 920 major items used by all departments. During the year Mrs. Mary B. White was appointed as per- manent Senior Clerk replacing Miss Margaret Ryan who was employed in a temporary position. I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Heads of all Departments for their co- operation. Respectfully submitted WILLIAM F. OATES Purchasing Agent ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Tree Warden for the year ending December 31, 1961. Approximately one hundred and ninety-four (194) trees were planted this spring in various sections of the Town — a number of these were replacements. All these trees were planted in fresh loam, fertilized and secured to a stake to hold them firm until the roots could get a good start. Most of these trees leaved out and were growing by the end of the summer. We have sprayed the trees on private properties for Earwigs, poison ivy and Japanese beetles, general spraying, dormant and birch leaf miner whenever requested to do so by the owners and the cost of this private work was charged to the owners on their annual tax bill. One hundred and twenty-four (124) decayed and injured trees were removed during the year — forty (40) of these had the dutch elm disease. Your Tree Warden is a Legislature Officer of the Massa- chusetts Tree Wardens and Foresters' Association and is Past President of the Middlesex County Tree Wardens and Moth Su- perintendents Association and has obtained valuable information in the care of your trees at the various meetings and confer- ences. I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Selectmen for their co-operation during the year. Acknowledgments are made to the various Town Depart- ments — 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 hundred of dollars. To the members of my own Department, I take this oppor- tunity to publicly commend you for your loyal and faithful serv- ice. My heartiest thanks to all who in any way assisted me during the past year. Respectfully yours, THOMAS P. MORLEY Tree Warden 146 TOWN OF WATERTOWN REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT In compliance with the By-laws of the Town of Watertown I submit the annual report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31, 1961, and submit for your consideration recommendations that in my opinion are necessary to conduct the management, administration and operation of the Fire Department for the year 1962. The membership of the Fire Department at the close of the year 1961 was as follows: 1 Chief; 4 Deputy Chiefs; 4 Cap- tains, 9 Lieutenants; 1 Mechanician; 84 Privates; for a total of 103 members of the Department. The total number of alarms for the year was 1,109, an in- crease of three alarms over the previous year. In addition the Fire Department assisted the Police Department responding to 321 calls with the Police ambulance. Fire alarms were as follows: Bell alarms 240, still alarms 869. There were 61 false alarms, an increase of 12 over previous year. A condensed report on fire losses, values and insurance is as follows: Values Losses Insurance Insurance paid Buildings $837,000.00 $147,449.65 $943,000.00 $147,199.65 Contents 903,775.00 236,890.92 778,700.00 217,496.42 $1,740.775.00 $384,340.57 $1,721,700.00 $364,696.07 SALARIES It is my recommendation that Salaries be in accordance with the requests as made by the department members in the various grades and classifications to the Advisory Board of Review. HOLIDAY PAY Heretofore Holiday pay was based on a seven day week. However, since the inception of the 48 hour week, the work is actually a five day week. Therefore I request that the sum of $21,450 be appropriated on the basis of a five day work week for Holiday Pay. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 147 LONGEVITY PAY I recommend that the sum of $10,750 be appropriated for the purpose of compensating members of the department who have served continuously without interruption, the sum of fifty dollars at the completion of each and every five years. This in my opinion is not only to be construed as a honorarium and a reward for faithful service, but will actually be an incentive for prolonged service, rather than taking advantage of an early retirement that Statutory Law provides. OVERTIME PAY There are occasions when it is necessary to recall members of the department for extra duty. In order to provide compen- sation for said overtime I recommend that $2,000 be provided for Overtime pay. CONTINGENT In order to provide for the numerous categories under, Con- tingent, among some of which are: Building and Utilities—Fire Fighting Equipment Maintenance of Motors — Office sup- plies and Incidentals, it is my opinion and best judgment that $17,500 should be appropriated for Contingent. NEW-HOSE An inventory of Hose discloses that our two and one half inch hose is not up to a standard supply, and our one and one half inch hose is far below standard. In order to bring our supply up to a minimum that we require, I recommend that $3,000 be appropriated for New Hose. OUT OF STATE TRAVEL I recommend that $175 be appropriated to permit the Fire Chief to attend the New England Conference of Fire Chiefs. MEDICAL EXPENSE In order to provide for Medical expense I recommend that $2,000 be appropriated. RADIO COMMUNICATIONS In my annual report of 1960 I called attention to Radio Communication as follows: At the present time the Fire Department uses the Police Department radio frequency, as well as their radio station con- trols for two�way radio communication. However, after October 148 TOWN OF WATERTOWN 31, 1963 the Fire Department must operate under a special and separate frequency which will require the Fire Department to have its own licensed station and installation of necessary equip- ment therefor. A survey discloses that the estimated cost to install and make required changes will be $3,363 as follows: Base Station $928 — Plane base antenna $80 — Foamles Base Lead-in $75 — Installation Base Station $100 — Change frequency 6 G. E. units $240 — Change frequency 7 Motorola units $350 — Convert 1 G. E. unit from 6 volts to 12 volts $90— One self-supporting 100 ft. Antenna $1,500. I recommend that 53.363 be appropriated for the installation of two-way Radio. TRAINING During the year 1961, under the supervision of Drill Master, Deputy Chief Walter Starr, the members of the department re- ceived daily instructions in all phases of fire fighting and relative subjects such as driving, pump operations, first aid, as well as other numerous and diversified matters of emergency operations. New methods of procedure were adopted and put into operation with speedier and more efficient results in emergency service. FIRE PREVENTION Fire Prevention, under the direction of Deputy Chief Thom- as Joyce, has proved to be a valuable adjunct to fire department activities; campaigns have been conducted in the interest of Fire Prevention; every member of the department participating in inspections and relative matters. Inspections have disclosed numerous 'hazards, all of which were eliminated by removal or correction. Campaigns as mentioned proved to be of great value in preventing fire and tragic consequences. AUXILIARY FIRE DEPARTMENT The members of the Auxiliary Fire Department are to be commended for the interest they display in the conduct of their activities; they are ever ready to assist the Fire Department and have done so on numerous occasions. I wish to take this opportunity to publicly thank the officers and members of the Auxiliary Fire Department for the assistance they have rendered to the Fire Department. RETIREMENTS James Murphy, appointed December 26, 1929, promoted to Lieutenant December 16, 1960, retired on Pension June 7, 1961. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 149 Bernard Donnelly, appointed December 26, 1929, retired on Pension August 2, 1961. George Gilfoil, appointed April 10, 1924, promoted to Lieu- tenant July 4, 1929, promoted to Captain December 1, 1944, pro- moted to Deputy Chief April 28, 1955, was retired on Pension August 17, 1961. James Murphy, Bernard Donnelly and George Gilfoil were men who served the Town of Watertown in the capacity of Fire- fighters in a manner that was commendable; they were devoted to the responsibility and trust, and performed their duties con- scientiously and efficiently. I take this opportunity, in my own behalf and in behalf of every member of the Fire Department, to wish for them and their families, happiness and good health in their retirement. CONCLUSION In this, my final annual report as Chief of the Watertown Fire Department, having reached the age wherein the law says I must retire after 42 years of service as a firefighter, I take this opportunity to publicly commend the members of the Water- town Fire Department, of whom I am justifiably proud. The high morale, discipline and harmonious spirit which prevails in the Fire Department is examplified in the manner and effici- ency in which they perform their duties. I consider it an honor to 'head a department of men who have, without exception, dis- played their loyalty, courage and ability in the performance of their duties. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to serve my townspeople, and sincerely hope that I have justified their con- fidence in my stewarship. I also wish to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the Board of Selectmen for their cooperation and assistance, and to all branches of the Town government for the cooperation extended to me and the Fire Department. It has been my earnest desire and the earnest desire of every member of the Fire Department to provide the highest and best quality of service possible. We are confident that our continued progress in the performance of our duties will reflect in increased and better protection for the lives and property of our children, as well as for the health and welfare of our com- munity.

ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 151 REPORT OF THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION. DEPARTMENT Herewith is respectfully submitted the report of the Work- men's Compensation Department for the year 1961. The total number of accidents to employees and reported by the various Town Departments amounted to 121 and this was an increase of 16 reported in the year 1960. The majority of these cases required just medical expenses. There were medi- cal expenses and disability payments in 28 of these cases. At the end of 1961 we are carrying 11 cases of which one we have had since 1953, four since 1958, one since 1959, one since 1960 and four from 1961. There are four cases pending before the Industrial Acci- dent Board. The most courteous and usual cooperation was received from the Town Departments, employees and Town physicians. Respectfully submitted JOHN P. MEEHAN Agent REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL The annual report of the Town Counsel's Office from May 1, 1961 to December 31, 1961, is submitted herewith. John P. Meehan, Esquire, held the office of Town Counsel from Jan- uary 1, 1961 to April 30, 1961. Upon my appointment as Town Counsel, Mr. Meehan turned over to me 134 cases then pending pertaining to Town legal af- fairs. From May 1, 1961, 60 new files were created and 26 were closed. There were 168 open files pending as of December 31, 1961. 149 of the pending cases may be classified as claims against the Town or against Town employees. These include claims and suits for personal injuries and/or property damage due to alleged negligence of Town employee operators of Town- owned motor vehicles, suits and claims arising from injuries resulting from alleged defects of public ways, abatement of Town Taxes before the Appellate Tax Board, Town employee claims 152 TOWN OF WATERTO`",`: for injuries, appeals from the decisions of the Board of Appeals, and land damage cases resulting from eminent domain pro- ceedings. 19 of these files may be classified as cases in which the Town is making claim against others. These claims include damage caused to Town property by any means (3), cases in which the Town seeks, through law, suits to compel reimburse- ment to the Town of fund's due from children of Welfare recipi. ents, for enforcement of liens and other various matters (16). I ,have been called upon to write a number of legal opinions and also to meet with and advise the various Boards, Depart- ment and Officials of the Town concerning the multiple func- tions of Town government, drawn various contracts, sidewalk releases, investigated defective conditions, held joint meetings with officials of other towns and cities relative to common prob- lems, and other matters of a legal nature, or otherwise, which were refered to me for attention. I was assisted in Town legal affairs by Philip F. Grogan, Esquire. I thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen for allowing me to keep in their office a filing cabinet for the use and storage of legal files, records and supplies, belonging and pertaining to the Town of Watertown and Office of Town Counsel. I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Helen Jigargian, the secretary, Arthur V. Morley, the confidential clerk, and the heads of all departments for their cooperation, and in particular to the Town Clerk's office, the police department and the engineering department for the excellent manner in whieb accident cases were investigated and reported.

FUNCTIONS The function of the Watertown Recreation Commission is to provide 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 pri- mary aim of the Commission is to provide fun and happiness for the participants. Objectives include the development of new interests and skills; education for safe and healthful living; constructive use of leisure time; opportunities for self-expression and realization; and contributions toward character growth, social adjustment and good citizenship. ORGANIZATION The Watertown Recreation Commission is composed of seven members four which are permanent. The other three are appointed by the Selectmen. The four permanent mem- bers include the Superintendent of Schools, Chief of Police, 154 TOWN OF WATERTOWN Head Librarian and Superintendent of Parks. The Recreation 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 The members are responsible for the overall function of the Department. This includes studying the needs, raising and allocating funds and determining policies, rules, regulations and standards for the government 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 informa- tion at his command concerning any problems; to carry out the policies and order of the Commission, and to plan, organize and supervise the year-round recreation program. The Recre- ation Commission also receives suggestions from the citizenry of whom the Commission is really representative and whose desires it seeks to interpret. PROPERTIES Properties used by the Recreation Department during the year 1961 for its various activities were Randy's Bowl-a-way, Boston YWCA, Newton YMCA, Boston Skating Club, Oakley Country Club, and the MDC Swimming Pool. The Wal-Lex Rollerway, Arlington, Coolidge, East, Parker, Cunniff, Salton- stall, Victory, Lowell, West, Howe and Bemis playgrounds; East, West, Senior High, Phillips, Lowell, Cunniff, Browne, Parker, St. Patrick's, and Coolidge schools; the Charles River, Bemis, and Warren 'St.� tot lots; and summer playground trips to Norumbega Park, Fenway Park, Longwood Tennis Club and Pleasure Island. PROGRAM The recreation program for the year 1961 once again in- creased over the previous year. During the.-year 1960, a total of sixty-one different age group -activities were sponsored. The year 1961 saw the introduction of three (3) new activities to the program for a grand total of sixty-four (64) different age group activities. .Two new events were also added to the summer playground program. The MDC Mobile Zoo and Operation Fitness—U.S. A., a program which was added to keep in line with President Kennedy's emphasis. on youth fitness.

Children's Theatre ATTENDANCE, 1961 For the year 1961, attendance at all sponsored activities, youth and adult, totaled 161,637. For the year 1960, total attend- ance was 171,776. This represents a decrease in attendance of 10,139 for 1961 over the previous year. This can be attributed to the unavailability of the West Jr. facilities because of ren- ovations and the outdoor ice skating conditions last year which were not as outstanding as the previous year.

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 also involves the use of janitors, secre- taries, 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 was provided for all personnel working in the various programs during the year. Also, all prospective employees are required to fill out application forms, making note of their pre- vious experience and education. This insures the citizenry a recreation program that will provide for everyone the best and most satisfying use of his leisure time. During the year 1961, a three-day training program was pro- vided for summer playground employees. PROGRESS Progressive steps taken by the Recreation Commission dur- ing the year 1961 were as follows: 1. The year-round recreation program was expanded. 2. Sixty-one (61) group activities were sponsored in 1960 as against sixty-four (64) for the year 1961. 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 Na- tional Recreation Association. This provides the department with materials and infozmation 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 1961 program. 7. Training programs for the staff helping to make for better organized and safer activities. 8. Additional office and program equipment improved de- partmental operations and program functions. 158 TOWN OF WATERTOWN 9. Two new events were added to the summer playground program. 10. A new and improved recreation area on the Charles River was developed by the M. D.C. 11. A full-time secretary for the department was approved. NEEDS Because of the growth of recreation in Watertown, definite needs for successful departmental operation have become ap- parent. 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. Further development of the teen-age program. 5. Additional equipment and supplies. 6. At the present time, there exists a shortage of facilities in Watertown for future development of a sound year-round rec- reation program. Such a program covers ten areas of recreation. There are arts and crafts, music, dancing, dramatics, nature study, sports and games, ,hobbies, camping, social recreation and adult recreation. Without adequate facilities, these ten areas of recreation cannot possible be adequately developed. Therefore, it is highly important that the citizens of Watertown give seri- ous consideration 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 1962 be further expanded. 2. Further development of the girls and teen-age programs. 3. Evaluation of the condition and rate of progress of the department. 4. Expanding the volume of equipment to meet the needs. 5. Two roving instructors be added to the summer play- ground staff. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 159 6. Streamlining operation of the department in such a way that all functions of the department are properly scrutin- ized and evaluated. 7. Research, studies, surveys, evaluations and reports be made concerning areas and facilities, -program, publicity and public relations and other phases of departmental operations. 8. Construction of play courts on all playground hard sur- face areas. Example: Shuffleboard, hop-scotch. 9. That residents of Watertown give serious consideration to the development of a recreation building. 10. That the publicity and public relations program be ex- panded and various medias of communication be used to inform and educate the public. 11. That an annual report be published by the department every year and be made available to the citizens of Watertown. 12. Finances for 1962 be increased to meet the needs.-. In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to the Chairman and members of the Recreation Commission, to 'the Park Department, School Department, Board of Selectmen, Town Officials, Department Heads, and local newspapers for their helpful assistance and cooperation during the year 1961. But mainly, to the citizens of Watertown, without whose help such a recreation program as is now in existence in Watertown could not be possible. Respectfully submitted, LARRY FORTIER Director of Recreation 160 TOWN OIL WATERTOWIN REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT In compliance with the general Laws of the Town of Water- town, I hereby submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1961. I like to look back at 1961 and think the Park Commissioners with the help of the department made Watertown a better place in which to live. During the last few years the citizens of the town have seen the ever popular tot lots added to many of the playground. This year was no exception, for one was erected at the Hosmer School playground and another at the Arlington Street playground. The completed jobs were well planned and constructed by the Park Department men. Renovations were made at many of the playgrounds. Bemis playground was completely reloomed and reseeded. The major task of repainting the permanent bleachers along the first base line at Victory Field was accomplished in time for the past football season. A cement retaining wall was built along West- minster Avenue to protect the new field house. We. the citizens of Watertown should feel proud of the fine men of the Park Department, who diligently perform the every day work of keeping our many playground and deltas an attrac- tive part of our community. During the cold winter months the men concentrate on keeping our six ice skating rinks in the best of condition. The flooding of these rinks takes place on many evenings when the temperature is sub-zero. The members of the Board along with the citizens of the town would like to publicly thank Joseph Dwyer, Superintendent of the Department; Foremen, Jim Ryan and Frank DiGregorio; John Lyman, Fred Papandrea, Harold Veno, Martin Burke, Charles Petrillo and the Department's very new but very effici- ent, Ann Crimmins. Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS M. FITZPATRICK, Chairman FREDERICK A. PARSHLEY, Clerk JOHN COFFEY ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 161 REPORT OF COUNCIL FOR THE AGING The annual report of the Council for Aging for the year ending December 31, 1961 is hereby submitted. Members of the Council are: Joseph L. Hooley, Chairman Rev. Edson Waterhouse Thomas O'Brien, Assistant Superintendent of Schools Mrs. Catherine O'Neil Alfred Lepare Larry Fortier, Associate Member The Council for the Aging holds monthly meetings in the Recreation Office excepting July and August. The responsibil- ities of the Council are to assist any senior citizen in the town with any problems they may have concerning welfare, housing, recreation and education. The Council for the Aging established a Senior Citizen Club in Watertown in 1955. The Senior Citizen Club meets the first and third Tuesday of every month at the Elks Home located on Arlington Street, Watertown. Activities of the Club include trips and excursions to vari- ous place of interest in New England, holiday parties at Christ- mas, Thanksgiving and Washington's Birthday. Other activities include movies, community singing, and listening to lectures on topics of interest to the members. Every member who joins the Senior Citizen Club is issued an identification card which entitles the bearer to certain privi- leges, such as discount in prices in drug stores and certain movie theaters in greater Boston. Any citizen in the town, 60 years of age or over, is eligible to join the club. Persons wishing to join may contact Mr. Joseph L. Hooley, Chairman of the Council for the Aging. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH L. HOOLEY, Chairman Council for Aging 162. 'TOWN OF WATERTOWN REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY The' past year will certainly be, remembered as significant. in Civil Defense since it marked the first occasion of unqual- ified Administration support for a realistic goal in the field of self-protection against possible enemy nuclear attack. The President's straightforward address on July 25, 1961, televised to a waiting nation, sparked a -resurgence of official, as well as citizen interest. Implementation of his proposals by Congres- sional approval, of necessary funds for a shelter survey that will designate fifty million spaces by June 30, 1962, quickly fol- lowed. Authoritative materials on the phenomena ,of radiation and safeguards that can be achieved against it, have been made available to our citizens. The impact in workload .was quickly apparent, as requests for" advice and information increased one hundred fold.overnight. Speaking engagements became so num- erous that they conflicted, and presentation had to be varied for audiences that might have numbered among them persons previously encountered. It was possible, -at last, to cast off the- apologetic role, and to have the satisfaction that Civil Defense, however unpleasant a concept, was being accepted as a real- istic one. Public concern with the problems of Civil Defense, so long absent, makes us aware of our local governmental tendency- to slight the needs of the Civil Defense organization. Expendi- tures of token amounts for equipment maintenance will no longer fulfill the statutory obligation of having a program. Lead- ership and example must be supplied; we cannot urge the con- struction of radiation shelters when our own control center is inadequately shielded. Accordingly, I have-recommended in the 1962 budget, a minimum sum for- the improvement of the area we now occupy in the town garage so that emergency oper- ations.may be-continued during a fallout period. In_November 1961, a prototype family fallout "shelter was placed on public display at AMVETS, Post 41 clubhouse, corner. of Mt. Auburn and Otis Streets. Contributions of materials and.services, made it possible to erect the basement-type block shelter at no cost to the Town.- The part-time junior clerk and stenographer position in the department changed occupants again, the fifth such change in eleven years. Relationships with volunteers were pleasant, and the veteran members •rendered. their usual competent serv- ice to the community. Auxiliary police, auxiliary fire, and com- munications personnel, were of course, the most active, but the training, :of. xadlation .- onitering has begun so that we will have another strong volunteer division in the near future. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 163 REPORT OF: - VETERANS SERVICES DEPARTMENT v.: The':excellent .recovery .from_ the .previous year's mild-re- cession--vas responsible for a -smaller case load in 1961,.-since employment_.:.opportgnities .were plentiful, ..even:, for:- the- un- skilled::.Regrgttably,- inflation,%especially 'in the. area.of hospital costs (which now run as much as $35.00 per day for service care) has reduced the effect of any saving achieved through aid- ing fewer families. Liberalized Social Security benefits (accom- plished through eliminating n -minimum. age for persons totally disabled), more prevalent use of sick benefits insurance in in- dustry, .extended entitlement to unemployment compensation, a greater recognition by the Industrial Accident Board that many non-traumatic conditions are the result of employment, and increased evidence that thrift is not a lost virtue -as evidenced by balances in savings accounts, are all factors causing less dependence on tax-financed assistance programs: The burden of service work has increased several-fold for each diminution of effort in the expenditure, of monetary..r'elief. The majority -of-World War.I veterans -.have reached. their mid- sixties and have consequently begun retiring._from employment in great numbers. Assistance in processing claims for non- service pensions (not an -easy.task for, the uninitiated, since the application blank',makes a long-form income-tax seem a child's exercise, by. comparison, and contains twice as many pitfalls) has become a daily addition to- the office workload, when five years ago, three such interviews a month were about average: Similarly claims by widows of World War. I veterans have cor- respondingly -increased. The initial preparation' is not the end of the job, as all such pensioners receive•periodic questionnaires which they invariably bring to this office for- completion. It seems also, that regardless of where a pensioner moves, he or she-mill, travel back to our .office if.a question- or-:problem in- v_oloing his case:arises. - . This type of service, required by law, is far more gratifying to render than is the dispensing of aid. Prompt attention and sound advice averts the ,possibility of future need in many sit- uations.. Maximum utilization of Veterans Administration hos- pitals (the excellence of which frequently has to be sold to the person involved) helps to conserve small savings which would otherwise-be quickly exhausted. The personnel of-the office remained stable through 1961; in fact, with the exception of one change caused by death in 1955, all of the employees who were present when the incum- bent Agent took over in 1949 are still with the department. The 164 TOWN OF WATERTOWN need for larger quarters is critical as the files continue to swell, usurping an increasingly greater proportion of work space. We look forward to 1962 as a year of even greater prosperity, but expect additional expenditures will be required on behalf of our aging World War II population, now attaining a forty year plus average. The service work load will undoubtedly in- crease. With the co-operation of the Selectmen, other town officers, and the citizens of the community, we will hopefully meet and fulfill our obligations to the veteran population. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. CORBETT, Clerk REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS The Annual Report of the Board of Appeals for the year ending December 31, 1961 is submitted in compliance with the By-Law of the Town of Watertown. From January 1, 1961 to December 31, 1961, the Board heard twenty-five appeals. In several cases, members of the Board have taken views of the premises in question in order that a fair decision be made. It is recommended by the members of the Board that a study be made for the revision of the Zoning By-Law and the Building Law of the Town of Watertown. The members of the Board of Appeals wish to express their appreciation to all who have cooperated with them during the past year. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS F.

SHEEHAN JOHN J. KENNEDY Auditor Collector of Taxes ANNUAL REPORTS -- 1961 169 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS To the People of the Town of Watertown: We herewith respectfully present the annual report of the Board of Assessors for the year ending December 31, 1961. The total valuation of the real and personal property has increased to a total of $80,183,875.00, an increase over 1960 of $1,656,700.00. The development of our dump lands is continuing and should give us a broader tax base within a few years. An interesting fact to note is an increase of our personal property valuation. The year 1961 shows an increase of $144,450.00 over the previous year. This is a good source of revenue and an interesting one for the Assessors. It gives us an opportunity to go into our business establishments and gain first hand knowl- edge of.their operations. There were 644 personal property tax bills issued in 1961. In closing the Board of Assessors thanks the various Town Departments for their assistance throughout the year -and also the fine manner in which the office is run throughout the year by our three clerks.

Members Office Term Expires Adelard St. Onge Chairman March 1963 Mrs. Ellen Linehan Vice-Chairman March 1965 Maurice J. Sheehan Treasurer March 1966 Arthur V. Morley Asst. Treas. March 1964 Francis M. Lightbody State Appointee May 1966 During the year, it became necessary to re-tube No. 2 boiler and in December of 1961, No. 1 boiler. These boilers are used in heating 144 apartments and inasmuch as neither boiler had been re-tubed since installation, it became imperative that they were re-tubed. Kendall Boiler & Tank Co. was called in on the first emergency and the second boiler work was put out on bid, which Kendall Boiler & Tank Co. won. While we were not able to get to black-topping last year, we do have it on the agenda for this year. One of the parking areas has to be extended along with a few sidewalks, and several clothes line areas need attention. Also, combination storm doors, both front and back, need replacing on 144 apartments which we hope to put out on bid when the weather permits. MANAGEMENT PROGRAM CHANGES During 1961, the following turnover took place: Homes purchased 12 Found other rentals 13 Inter-project transfers 7 Evictions 0 New Tenants 32 The average shelter rent (not including charges for heat, domestic hot water and gas) is approximately $54.30 a month for 228 tenants in both projects. The Management Program in 1961 was not changed from 1960.

KELLY Superintendent of Schools THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE WATERTOWN PUBLIC SCHOOL DEPARTMENT FOR THE YEAR 1961 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-third an- nual report of the schools of Watertown which is the eighty- first in a series of annual reports of the Superintendent of the Watertown Public Schools. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL The following Program of Studies was approved by your committee for the school year beginning September 1961. Curriculum I Curriculum I is an Honors Curriculum that prepares stu- dents for admission to colleges and universities which seek students of high scholastic aptitude and the preparation that gives assurance of meeting high academic standards. Selection for and continuance in this curriculum are de- pendent upon: 1. The high quality of the student's record 2. His ability to meet the scholastic aptitude requirements 3. The recommendations of his teachers and counselor. 194 TOWN OF WATERTOWN A minimum of 14 academic units are required in grades 10-12 and 15 are recommended. An overall scholastic record of B quality must be maintained to remain in the Curriculum. A yearly average of C in one course must be balanced with an average of A in another. - Engineering and Science candidates are required to complete 3 units of mathematics beyond Grade 9 Algebra, 2 of laboratory sicences, and 3 of a modern language, in addition to 3 in Eng- lish and 1 in Social Studies. Liberal Arts candidates are required to complete at least 2 units of mathematics beyond Grade 9 Algebra. 1 unit of a lab- oratory science, 3 units of a modern language, and 2 units of social studies. Curriculum H This is the usual college preparatory curriculum. It is intended for students with better than average ability who wish to prepare for admission to four year colleges and universities, teachers colleges, junior colleges, nurses training schools, tech- nical, and specialized schools. Eligibility for admission to this curriculum is dependent upon the quality of a student's record, his scholastic aptitude, and his motivation for higher academic study. The grade 9 record should have no yearly averages below C; however a student receiving a D or F in one subject and whose other yearly aver- ages are C or higher may enter the curriculum by repeating the subject in an approved summer school for a C or higher mark; a student with two or more Ds or Fs must repeat the full grade before entering the curriculum. Those getting 2 Ds or a D and an F for yearly averages in Grade 10 or 11 must repeat at least one for a C or higher grade in order to remain in the curricu- lum; those with Ds or Fs in three or more subjects in Grade 10 or 11 must repeat the full grade or drop the curriculum. Students in this curriculum must complete a minimum of 13 academic units in grades 10-12. Three of these must be in English, one in college preparatory mathematics beyond Grade 9 algebra, one in a laboratory science, and 2 in social studies. Three units of a modern foreign language are recommended, as well as one or two additional years -of mathematics for those who qualify. Curriculum III This curriculum provides preparation for students wishing a general education without a marked amount of specialization in vocational subjects. Through this curriculum it is possible ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 195 to follow a completely academic program, or one that combines the academic with training in typing, shop work, art, or home economics. The selection of electives determines the objectives desired. Those who qualify and: are willing to do the work may elect subjects from Curriculum II. Curriculum IV Curriculum IV is for students who are interested in business training and in preparing for careers in office work and general business. The basic subject requirements are the same for all students in Grade 10, but in Grades 11 and 12 specialization is provided in three business areas; Stenographic, Bookkeeping, or Clerical. Continuance in this curriculum depends, among other things, upon the degree of success a student has in adjusting to such specialized training. Curriculum V This program is intended for those who wish to specialize in industrial arts and achieve a degree of accuracy and skill in the manipulation of tools and machines in at least two of the following areas: auto mechanics, electricity, machine work, print- ing, woodwork, and mechanical drawing. Continuance in this curriculum depends upon the student's success and skill in adjusting to this type of specialized work. In general, marks above average are expected in shop subjects. All Curriculums Good attendance, good behavior, and satisfactory grades of progress are expected and will be required of all who wish to remain in curriculum and grade. Excessive absence, poor be- havior, and/or a poor record will be cause for summer school, demotion, or other decisive action by the Headmaster. COURSE NUMBERS 1. The academic courses within each Curriculum are iden- tified generally by a two digit number. The digit that immedi- ately follows the name of the subject indicates either: (a) the year of a continuing subject, or (b) the year in which a non- continuing subject is offered and usually taken. The other digit indicates the educational level of the course. Examples: English 21 means second year English, first level, and is referred to as English two, one; English 32 means third year English, second level and is referred to as English three, two; French 12 means first year French, second level, and is referred to as French one, two; Chemistry 33 means Chemistry offered in third year, third level and referred to as Chemistry three, three. 196 TOWN OF WATERTOWN 2. College preparatory courses are offered in levels 1, 2, and 3. Curriculum I courses are level 1 except in certain cases, Curriculum II courses are either level 2 or 3. 3. Curriculum III, IV and V courses are levels 4 and 5, 4 for the higher groups and 5 the lower. In English, a 6 level is used. 4. Some Curriculum III and IV students may take, with approval, level 2 and 3 courses in foreign languages, college preparatory mathematics, and sciences. 5. Other courses, mostly non-academic, will use a single number designation to indicate the year of the course of a .con- tinuing subject, or no number for a non-continuing subject. Examples: Type 1, Electricity 2, Economics-Law. 6. Half-year course numbers are followed by the decimal .1 or .2 to denote either first or second half-year of course.

IN-SERVICE TRAINING OF FACULTY MEMBERS This year, as in the past, many of our teachers have enrolled in education courses and seminars for the purpose of up-grading the quality of our teaching. 200 TOWN OF WATERTOW A science course, geared to the needs of Watertown elemen- tary grades, was offered by Boston University from October 1961 through January 1962. This three-credit course "Science in the Elementary Grades," was approved by the Watertown School Committee. Dr. Pearl Nelson of the Boston University Science Depart- ment gave a varied course of instruction including demonstra- tions of practical scientific principles and actual experiments of value to classroom teaching. Several guest speakers were invited to give lectures on particular subject areas. A field trip to the Museum of Science special Christmas show at the Plan- etarium was also included. All elementary schools in Watertown were represented among the forty-five teachers enrolled in the course. Each teacher was required to do several units of work including a project of practical use to her particular class, a book report relating to a scientific topic and another related activity. Teach- ers of each grade level worked together to devise and complete a practical unit of work for use in their classroom teaching. Elementary science is taught as a formal subject from grades one through six. A Science Committee, working for a two year period, has developed a sound course of studies. Work- shops have been held for all elementary teachers. Every pupil has an adopted science text. Equipment has been purchased for actual demonstrations and experiments. Motion picture films and film strips correlated to the course of studies have been pur- chased for use at the various grade levels. Supplementary read- ing material is being purchased to develop specific areas of in- terest beyond the requirements of the course. Science rooms are being set up in each building in order to have areas con- ducive to a scientific atmosphere. Teachers and pupils have responded most enthusiastically to our expanded science program. It is interesting to note that over ninety percent of the funds required for the devel- opment of our elementary science program have been obtained from various Federal Funds. John Koumjian, Head of the Department of Mathematics and Science at the Senior High School, was selected as one of forty-eight participants on the Harvard Academic Year Insti- tute for High. School Teachers of Science and Mathematics which was held during the school year 1960-61. Mr. Koumjian was granted a sabbatical leave of absence from his duties at the Senior High School to participate in this Institute which was held at Harvard University. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 201 T. Donald Costello, a guidance counselor at the Senior High School, attended a Guidance Institute held this past summer at Syracuse University. Earl Winand and Frank Sollitto participated in a Summer Institute in Chemistry and Mathematics at Boston College. These institutes were sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Forty teachers took credit courses in various colleges and universities. LONGER SCHOOL DAY In the elementary schools, thirty minutes were added to the school day by beginning classes fifteen minutes earlier in the morning and by dismissing fifteen minutes later in the afternoon. This extra half hour, over a period of 180 school days is the equivalent of eighteen additional five hour school days per year. This revised schedule allows for the strengthening of our elementary program, especially in the fields of science, reading and arithmetic and complies with the recommendation of the State Department of Education. The new time schedule and the time allotment program for the elementary schools as of November 6, 1961 are as follows: TIME ALLOTMENT Minutes Per Week Grades I II III IV V VI 1.

Erald L. Sawyer, Principal of the East Junior High School, had a total of fifty years in the profession of which thirty-nine years were devoted to the children of Watertown. Jennie Mary Bassett taught for four years in Framingham and West Medway before coming to Watertown in September 1916. She taught in the Hosmer and East Junior High School for forty-five years. Josephine W. Edwards, who graduated from Watertown High School in 1911, not only devoted her entire teaching ca- reer of forty-seven years to our Town, but also taught in the second grade in the Phillips School District during her entire career. Ruth W. Thulin, a guidance counselor at the Senior High School, had fourteen years of experience in Massachusetts and New York, when she was appointed to the West Junior High School in January 1928. She transferred to the Senior High School in 1932 where she was one of our first full-time guidance counselors. Alfred Adams, Charlotte Bassett, and Grace Rideout each had forty-four years of teaching experience. Mr. Adams taught mathematics for thirty years at the Senior High School, Miss Bassett worked for forty-two years at the Hosmer and East Junior High School, and Miss Rideout gave forty-one years of service to the children in the Coolidge School. Beatrice A. Murphy was a teacher in Chelsea for two years before her appointment to the East Junior High School in September 1922. During these thirty-nine years Miss Murphy taught English, Art, Music and Social Studies. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 205 The service of these eight persons add up to 316 years of teaching in the Watertown Public Schools and a grand total of 366 years during their entire careers in the teaching profession. I am sure that the thousands of pupils who came under their supervision join with me in expressing our appreciation for their devotion to a great calling, for their advice, inspiration and instruction, and for their interest, kindness and friendship. To all of them and to the other teachers who have retired this year we hope that the years to come will bring to them good health, happiness and time to reflect upon a career and services well done. IN MEMORIAM HELEN D. PATON TEACHER AT LOWELL AND CUNNIFF ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS NOVEMBER 19, 1945 to MARCH 11, 1961 DIED March 11, 1961 CONCLUSION I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the administra- tors, teachers, supervisors, custodians and other employees for their cooperation during the past year. I also wish to thank the members of the Town departments, the parents and the citizens of Watertown for their continued support and service to the School Department. Lastly, I wish to thank the Chairman and other members of the School Committee for the helpful assistance which they have given to me during the past year. Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS A.

The follow-up survey of the Class of '60 was completed ap- proximately one year following the graduation of the Class from Watertown High School. This lapse 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 and included in the tabulations was 96.6 percent of those graduating. 3. Information on the status of 22 graduates included in the report was obtained from sources other than the questionnalre, 214 TOWN OF WATERTOWN principally family members, school and college reports, and em- ployment records. 4. In reporting the graduates continuing education beyond high school, we have followed the form used by the Massachusetts De- partment of Education this year in their report of the follow-up study of the graduates of Massachusetts public high schools of June 1960. 5. The percentage of our graduates continuing post-secondary education is above the 40 percent mark for the seventh straight year and is 2.5 percent higher than that of the previous Class. 6. The number continuing post-secondary education includes 82 percent of the College Preparatory graduates, 19 percent of the General, 11.7 percent of -the Business and 12.5 percent of the Industrial Arts curriculum graduates. 7. Of the 156 graduates continuing their education 55.1 per- cent are attending four-year degree granting colleges or universi- ,ties as follows: 24.3 percent Liberal Arts, 14.1 percent Teacher Training, 5.8 percent Engineering, 5.8 percent Business Admin- istration, 2.6 percent Pre-medical or pre-dental, 1.3 percent College Nursing, and 1.2 percent miscellaneous. Those attending colleges and schools below the four-year degree granting level represent 44.9 percent of the graduates continuing their education, of which 10.9 are in Secretarial Training, 9.6 percent Junior College, 8.3 percent Technical, 5.8 percent Nurses Training, 3.1 percent miscel- laneous. 8. Of those attending four-year .degree granting colleges or universities, 59 percent are within the Boston area, an additional 17 percent within Massachusetts but outside the Boston area, 12 percent in another New England state and 12 percent outside the New England area. 9. A comparison of the Watertown percentage continuing education beyond high school with those of all Public High Schools of Massachusetts for the same year show that Watertown is gen- erally slightly below the state level.

The number regularly employed, including those in Military Service, is a little more than half the graduates and 2.4 percent less than for the previous class. This number includes 17 percent of those in College Prep curriculum, 79 percent of the General, 87.2 percent of the Business and 87.5 percent of the Industrial Arts curriculum graduates. 11. Of those regularly employed, excluding those in Military Service, about four-fifths are working in Watertown or contiguous communities and the remainder in Boston. The mean weekly sal- ary reported was $60.72, slightly higher than a year ago. Ten per- cent reported salaries between $40 and $49, 33.8 percent between $50 and $59, 25.2 percent between $60 and $69, and 12.9 percent $70 and above. 12. The percentage of graduates reported being married is 6 percent of the class. There were 20 girls in this group. This is the highest percentage reported in these studies of graduates married within one year of graduation. 13. The percentage in Military Service is 2.2 percent lower than for the previous Class. 216 TOWN OF WATERTOWN TABLE VI KINDS OF EMPLOYMENT ENGAGED IN BY THOSE REGULARLY EMPLOYED, ACCORDING TO HIGH SCHOOL COURSE FOLLOWED AS OF APRIL, 1961 (FOLLOW-UP SURVEY) Number & Percentage According to High School Course KINDS OF EMPLOYMENT Col.

Those withdrawing to attend another school are called transfers and are not counted as drop-outs. The percentage of drop-outs from Watertown 9-12 for the year 160-'61 was about the same as the previous year and approx- imately 3% below the average for the State. Nearly two-thirds of the drop-outs occur in Grades 10 and 11, with the greatest attrition in Grade 11. The percentage of drop- outs for the Senior High School alone was 2.7, the same as the previous year. The 2.2 percent of drop-outs per year of the average mem- bership indicate that approximately 90 of every 100 pupils enter- ing Grade nine are remaining to graduate. This is concluded by multiplying the yearly percentage of drop-outs of the average membership times the number of years covered in Grades 9-12. (The number transferring into and out of Grades 9-12 each year approximately balance each other.) ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 221.

Regular monthly and special meetings were held. The following represents some of the major activities of the department: 1. The conducting of anti-anterior poliomyelitis clinics for pre- school and school children, as well as adults. 2. The anti-tuberculosis program included the administration of the Mantoux tests for school children whose records indicated that this year was the appropriate time for them to :be tested. This was part of an on-going well-integrated project designed to detect early tuberculosis. 3. The annual anti-rabetic clinic was planned for the protec- tion of the citizens by immunizing dogs. In passing, it may be important to note that in the year nineteen hundred and sixty-one, for the first time in many years, two cases of rabies occurring in animals were reported to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. If humans had been infected and symptoms appeared, it is assumed that the result would almost certainly be fatal. 4. Looking forward toward the attainment of effective long- range goals for the Department, the Board requested that a survey be made of the present status of the Department, its personnel, environmental and organizational structure, its potential for future growth, etc. The Agent is working closely and cooperatively in this study with Doctor Frederick A. Dunham, District Health Officer of the Northeast District, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, who is a recognized authority in his field. It is hoped that most worthwhile recommendations which can be im- plemented will be forthcoming when the study is completed. 5. The Board has authorized the Agent to work with certain department personnel as well as other official and volunteer agencies in order that preliminary investigations and recommenda- tions can be made as a basis for the possible establishment of an effective, modern, Well-Baby and Preschool Conference Clinic for the citizens of Watertown. The Board wishes to extend its thanks and appreciation to all the members of the Health Department and personnel under its jurisdiction, for the cooperation extended during the past year. The Board also wishes to extend its gratitude to the various other departments, elected town officials, both of Watertown and other communities, and private citizens, who so kindly volunteered their services throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, MARIE S. ANDREWS, Chairman R. V. LE ROY, M.D. H.

Gorman, M.D. The routine school examinations for the first, fourth, seventh and tenth grades of St. Patrick's School, (289 pupils), and the first, fourth and seventh grades of the Sacred Heart School (150 pupils) were done in 1961. Physical defects are still running about 65%, which were reported to the respective families. Polio vaccine clinics were held and a total of 2896 injections were done. Also, a total of 965 Tuberculosis Tests, (Mantoux) were done in 1961, and suspects were followed up by investigation and X=Rays. I wish to thank the members of the Board, and the personnel of the department, for their outstanding help and cooperation throughout the year.

It may be of interest to note that the amount received by the Town for plumbing permit fees represents a $331,154.85 total value of installed plumbing. Of the two hundred fifty (250) working days in 1961, nine (9) were spent on sick leave and twenty (20) days on vacation. The study and research from Federal and State levels, from private firms, institutions, laboratories, hospitals and universities, changes in existing laws and enactment of new laws, development of new rules, regulations and codes, has resulted in new programs and responsibilities being passed on to local health departments, thus the workload on the department has been increased as much as four hundred percent in some areas. The greatest increase of time, demands, and responsibilities has been in the field of general sanitation, which includes plumb- ing. During the last two decades there has been more construction and reconstruction taking place than in any time in the history of our country and with this progress has come new appliances and innovations. The automatic hot water storage system fired by gas, oil or electric, automatic dish washers and clothes washers, laundermats, air conditioning equipment, garbage disposers, new types and styles of plumbing fixtures, swimming pools, new models of heat- ing systems under pressure, water coolers and fountains, ice mak- ing machines and refrigeration, drink dispensers, and many others, has increased the work load of the plumbing inspector greatly. With regard to sanitation directly, the work load is unsur- mountable and endless. The control of milk and food and their establishments in itself is a full time project, to say nothing of restaurants and other eating places, of the necessary laboratory work and control, the inpection, reports, and the time required on nuisance complaints, lodging houses, etc., etc. The enactment of the New State Sanitary Code, the enforcement of which is thrust directly upon local boards and departments, is the biggest step ever taken in the field of sanitation. And yet, in an almost futile effort to cope with all of this added work and responsibility, this department has had the additional help of but one man during these twenty years. The result? Below minimum coverage is being given the citizens of Watertown. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 231 Effective as of February 1, 1961, was a new State Gas Code which requires every city and town in Massachusetts to appoint an inspector of Gas and Gas Appliances. This appointment has, in every city or town, with one exception I know of, been given or assigned to the Inspector of Plumbing. This does appear the logical position for such a responsibility since it does, in many cases, eliminate duplication of effort. 31OSQUITO CONTROL Robert L. Armstrong There appeared to be no mosquito control problem in Watertown other than that of Culex (House Mosquito). The usual spraying and inspection program was carried out against these from June through September. Although rather persis- tent mosquito sources were encountered and treated there were only three mosquito complaints during the season. A little night-time fogging was done. Catch basins were treated with Dieldrin. A repeat application had to be made in late summer. FINANCIAL STATEMENT Balance on December 31, 1960 $1,304.81 1961 Appropriation received July 17, 1961 2,000.00 Expenditures in 1961: Labor $ 725.48 Insurance, Retirement 89.71 Office Operation 554.96 Barn Rent 39.60 Office Rent 46.15 Equipment & Operation 224.05 Vehicle replacement — Insecticide 279.74 Aircraft service — Other services — Total $1,949.69 Balance on December 31, 1961 $1,345.12 The East Middlesex Mosquito Control Commission has re- quested an appropriation of $2,000 for 1962. 232 TOWN OF WATERTOWN DENTAL PROGRAM Drs. Zelermyer and Fantasia The two simultaneously operating dental clinics in the public and parochial schools of Watertown functioned very routinely and smoothly as usual during the year 1961. Doctors Fantasia and Zelermyer alternated their respective duties bimonthly with Mmes. Bick and Little visiting the following schools: Coolidge, Hosmer, Phillips, Marshall Spring, Lowell, Cunniff, Browne, Parker, Sacred Heart and St. Patrick's. Some observations may be mentioned in passing during the course of the daily screening of our school children's mouths, notably, for example, the conspicuous absence of emergency tooth- aches situations, the greater obvious attention and dental care in the children these days and the increased number of prosthetic and orthodontic appliances found in these primary school children in comparison to those occurring in the past. This is confirmed in our comparative statistics with respect to the number of ex- tractions and emergency treatments required which have been constantly on the decrease. The existence of our dental clinics with their consequent educational impact may take credit in no small measure for these results over the years. We should pause to congratulate our neighboring communities of Cambridge and Newton both of which recently surpassed almost insurmountable obstacles to gain the confidence, approval and support of their constituents in voting favorably on their referenda for fluoridation. It will be interesting in the months of years ahead to watch them transform their words into action by putting this difficult but beneficial procedure into effect. Statistics for our clinics may be summarized as follows: Examinations 4231 Fillings 1918 Extractions 58 Treatments 38 Prophylaxes 531 In closing this report it would be incomplete without includ- ing our thanks to the Board of Health, the School Department and the Cemetery Department for their steadfast dependability and cooperation. Each of these in its own way contributes im- measurably to the success of the clinics with resultant benefits to the dental health of the school children in the community.

This department was short-handed a good part of the year because of vacations, and sickness on the part of its laborers. Many complaints are received annually because of the appear- ances of the three Town Cemeteries not being kept up, es- pecially for Memorial Day Services. We hope that in 1962 we will be able to improve this situation, with the help of the new tractor. The Cemetery Department again assisted the Dental Clinics in moving its equipment from school to school whenever neces- sary. It also assisted at the Dog Clinics in moving its equip- ment. 236 TOWN OF WATERTOWN The Cemetery Department is very grateful, and wishes to thank all the other departments, for the help they gave when- ever it was needed. In the area of environmental sanitation as pertaining to food and dairy control, and to some extent, nuisance investigation, the Department did not measure up to its usual standards. This inability to meet previous standards was due both to a lack of personnel, and the inability to obtain adequately trained, experienced and motivated personnel. In conclusion, I would like to express my appreciation to the Board of Health, for its cooperation and support throughout the year. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those individuals, areas of government on various levels, business and industry, without whose cooperation, the operation of this department would have been considerably more difficult. Respectfully submitted, PAUL F. MURRAY Health Officer and Agent ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 237 REPORT OF THE TOWN TREASURER I respectfully submit the following report for the year 1961:-- 1961 is generally known as the birth of the Space Age with the United States and Russia vying with each other putting Astro- nauts into orbit after extensive training periods costing millions of dollars in public funds. We, here in Watertown, not to be outdone by the great world powers, also had our space struggle without even taking our feet off the ground or spending one cent of public money. Last year in my annual report, I made mention of the fact of the extreme working conditions in the Treasurer's office and how I had hoped that my Brother Tax Collector John Kennedy would come forth and let go of some of the area. Since nothing was forthcoming and in furtherance of the pledge I had made to my hardworking and cramped employees, I made appeal to the Town Fathers. After months of deliberation and on-the-spot view- ing, the Selectmen finally granted us an additional foot of the unevenly divided area, perhaps hoping that we would be as anxious to refuse a foot as we would a Siberian sandwich. However, we took the foot with a night-time operation of expeditionary forces and in the morning Brother John woke up, like General Howe, to find half his counter gone. This still did not alleviate conditions and once again we made appeal to the Town Fathers. This time they came down with the decree that the area should be evenly divided, and again the expeditionary forces took the counter down and erected high rise cabinets to conserve space. During all the negotiations local reporters had referred to the entire matter as the Berlin dispute or border war. In line with their thinking, we set up a border-line labeled East Berlin and West Berlin with toy soldiers and cannon lined-up on both sides of the alleged border. The situation was brought to the attention of the Boston Globe Newspaper which published a very humerous article on the whole matter on September 14, 1961 and which I feel worth including in my annual report for historical purposes and was as follows:— "OFFICE CLOCK TICKS OMINOUSLY IN WATERTOWN BORDER CRISIS" "In Watertown, in a first floor office in the admini- stration building, two space-minded men peer intently at each other across the crowded room. There are none of the `wasser kannonen' — the Ger- man water cannons — in evidence. Neither for that matter, are water pistols. 238 TOWN OF WATERTOWN' But there is tension. To the left, is the sector controlled by Robert C. Hagopian, 48-year-old town treasurer. On the right is the realm of John J. Kennedy 52, the tax collector. You can push a man just so far, said Hagopian, not long ago, and thereupon drew the line. But Kennedy ignored it, he said, and began encroaching into Treasury territory. Indignantly, Kennedy denied this and maintained he was rightfully occupying Tax room. Tempers grew short, and the tension built. Finally, Monday night, the opposing powers agreed to submit the question to the board of selectmen. After arguments had been made, the three-man board voted 2-0 to cede one foot of office space to Hagopian. But Thursday morning the battle lines were drawn again. On the cabinet that had been pushed 12 inches over onto tax collector grounds, there appeared signs pro- claiming East and West Berlin, with clusters of toy soldiers and a toy missile aligned against each other. Behind them the office clock ominously ticks away the minutes." Later, an attempt was made to close the opening between the offices and change the light switches. However, the opening was not disturbed but the light switches were shifted from their 29- year-old location and I believe the internal conditions of our offices will remain calm and peaceful, unless we require our Brother John to personally pick up his own pay-check and then all H--- will break loose because it's such a strenuous task to get up and walk 20 paces to the payment wickets. As we reflect on our experiences, we can look back and smile, as we hold no malice. PARKING METERS Our Parking Meter income for 1961 increased in amount over the previous year's receipts by $5,055.97, showing the benefits re- ceived from the new Watertown Square Parking Area. We have added a custom-made stainless steel cart to our equipment enabling us to collect- faster at a great saving of money formerly paid out in seals, etc. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 239 TAXES COLLECTED FOR THE TAX COLLECTOR Under General Laws Chapter 60, Section 93, the Town Tax Collector places a lien on the pay of employees who have not paid their various taxes and the Town Treasurer is compelled to make the deductions from the payrolls. This is a service the Town Treas- urer has given the Tax Collector for many years, and it enables the Tax Collector to avoid embarassing and troublesome situations. This year the Town Treasurer made approximately 36 collections of this sort. INTEREST INCOME In the year 1961, we earned an additional $2,812.50 in interest by investing $500,000.00 in U.S. Treasury Bills for a period of three months. I wish to thank all my staff for their splendid work and co- operation during pressing periods, and I also wish to thank all Town Departments and Personnel for their fine cooperation. ROBERT C.

In order to facilitate matters primarily because of the crowded schedule of the Agency at this time and the lack of personnel 1 am submitting herewith a comparative breakdown of our categori- cal and administrative expenditures for the Year 1961 and 1962. A perusal of both years will familiarize you with the relation- ship that exists physically between the Federal Government, The Commonwealth and our Community. In my report for 196I I spe- cifically pointed out various sensitive areas in which I anticipated activity during the year particularly the actual integration of the new category Medical Aid for the Aged with Old Age Assistance — pointing out that the laws were not too well written and few actual rules for its administration were available. The planning for the intergration of these categories worked smoothly and to a highly satisfactory degree. The movement, however, for the Medical Aid for The Aged is still experiencing greater flux and at this time no honest estimate can be made on what to expect for the Year 1962. It was pointed out last year that Disability Assistance was a very unpredictable category and would have to be watched con- stantly for sudden and erratic spiralling costs which certainly took place and gave us considerable challenge during the year. The laws and rules regulating Aid to Dependent Children changed radically during the year by way of Legislation and State Role broadening every aspect and concept of the law itself bring- ing about far greater case activity than ever before. I feel that the success we enjoyed in the administration of Aid to Dependent Children from a fiscal standpoint was the result of our continued emphasis of the intensification of social case work in the areas of non-support, domestic relations, marital relations, alcoholism and the mental health. The constant pressure on the part of the Agency to maintain the area of collateral as well as primal re- sources was undoubtedly another telling factor in our holding the line so to speak inasmuch as the aggregate of these resources averages in the vicinity of $80,000.00 a year and our failure to maintain rigid controls would threaten our over-all expenditures. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 257 I am happy to say that General Relief experienced a new low this year for two principal reasons: 1. The application of the same strengths in this category as administered in Aid to Dependent Children. 2. The expansion of laws and rules governing Disability Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children which per- mits us to transfer cases to these categories or to pre- vent them from going on the General Relief rolls at all. The co-operation received by the Board of Public Welfare and the Finance Committee was such as to reduce extensively the corn plex and intricate fiscal procedure required to bring about what I would call a very successful year. 1962 will bring greater changes requiring extensive adjust- ments in both fiscal and social areas therefor I place special em- phasis in asking you to thoroughly consider all requests that I have made in my Annual Budget for 1963 from an administrative standpoint. As may be noted our over-all expenditure for 1962 will exceed $900,000.00 and the proper equipment and personnel must be available in order for the Agency to produce the greatest pos- sible service for the least amount of money. The budget has been planned accordingly and your co-operation, as in the past, will be ,neatly appreciated. Respectfully ,yours JOSEPH F.

'u v z w 0 A 262 TOWN OF WATERTOWN REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK The following report is submitted by Town Clerk, George B. Wellman. The Town Clerk's Department collected $13,158.82 covering various types of licenses and fees. Of this amount $5,725.55 was for Conservation Licenses and $1,954.00 was for dog licenses. Fees, amounting to $328.05 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 $39,1.69.00 TOWN MEETING The annual Town Meeting was completed in four sessions. The total sum appropriated was $7,583,089.41. No Special Town Meetings were called in 1961. VITAL STATISTICS As of the time of writing this report, the office of Town Clerk had incomplete returns for the year in respect to births and deaths. This is because the community has no hospital, and the office must await returns furnished by neighboring communities. A total of 395 couples filed Intentions of Marriage during 1961. The total number of marriages consummated, including rec- cords of Watertown persons married without the Commonwealth, and whose records were forwarded to the Town Clerk, numbered 413. The foregoing total also includes out of town marriages taking place in Watertown. A total of 412 deaths, relating to persons who died in Water- town, or Watertown residents who died out of town, have been forwarded to the Secretary of State to date. This is an incomplete total as many returns have not as yet been received from neighbor- ing towns and cities. The record of births relating to Watertown parents received in the office to date totals 945. Only two births took place in the Town of Watertown for the year 1961. There were eight births received from outside the Commonwealth relating to Watertown parents. All other births to Watertown parents took place in hos- pitals located in neighboring towns and cities. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 263 CLAIMS AGAINST TOWN AND INVOLVING TOWN PROPERTY The office of Town Clerk processed sixty-three claims and reports involving town property. The claims were mostly for al- leged sidewalk defects, etc., and for accidents involving town property, and town equipment. All such claims and reports to damage to town property are filed with the town clerk, who pro- cesses them for investigations, and files reports with the Town Counsel. RECOMMENDATIONS I can only renew my recommendation made the past sever- al years that the Office of Town Clerk and the Election Depart- ment be relocated on the first floor to better serve the public.

SHEEHAN Town Auditor 266 TOWN OF WATERTOWI,� REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town of Watertown, the Planning Board herewith submits its report for the year 1961. I. CONTINUING PROJECTS At the Annual Town Meeting this Board was granted aii ap- propriation of $25,000.00 under the matching funds program of Section 701 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1954, as amended, for a comprehensive program of planning studies. We are pleased to report that since this appropriation was granted, the Federal Government has amended the statute so that instead of matching funds on a 50-50 ration (one-half to be paid by the Federal Gov't and one-half by the local community) the contribution of the Federal Gov't was raised to two-thirds. This resulted in a savings to the Town in the sum of $5,000.00 which was returned to the Town Treasury. Approval of our application to the Federal Gov t was received in November of this year and contracts for the studies have been entered into between the Watertown Planning Board and the De- partment of Commerce of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. who in turn make a contract with the city planning consultants who will perform the various surveys; Planning Services Group of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Under this arrangement payments for services to the consultants are made through the State agency. The studies actually began December of this year and will cover a period of two year. This Board is certain that these studies will prove of immeasurable value to the Town in future years. Among the studies to be undertaken are: Land Use Survey, Population Trends, Economic Base and Fiscal Trends, Recreation Needs Study, Traffic Circulation Plan, Community Facilities and Services Survey, Housing and Urban Renewal Survey, Detailed Study of Watertown Square, Future Land Use Program and Zon- ing By-Law Revision. II. FUTURE PLANNING PROJECTS As the result of a request from the Chief of Police via the Board of Selectmen, this Board prepared an amendment to the Zoning By-Laws incorporating requirements for off-street park- ing. At present, this proposal is being reviewed prior to submission to the Town Meeting for adoption. A public hearing will be held and an article will then be prepared for the Town Warrant. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 267 Another project which has been originated by this Board, in cooperation with the Board of Park Commissioners, is the develop- ment of plans for the Whitney Hill area (behind Victory Field) as a park and recreational area. Architectural sketches are being drawn but much more basic groundwork must be attended to be- fore this matter can be presented for consideration to the Town Meeting. III. INTERNAL ORGANIZATION It is with extreme pleasure that we report that in April of this year a member of our Board, Jerome B. Wiesner, was selected by the President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, to be his special advisor on science matters. Mr. Weisner's service on the Planning Board reflected his devoted dedication to our community and his contributions to our efforts will be sorely missed. After accepting Mr. Wiesner's resignation with sincere regret this Board and the Board of Selectmen in a joint meeting unani- mously appointed Mr. Kevin Lynch, a professor of city planning at M.I.T. to fill the vacancy. The Planning Board would like to express its appreciation to Mrs. Thomas Perry, representative of the League of Women Vo- ters, for her untiring efforts on our behalf and for her faithful attendance at our meetings during the past year. We sincerely appreciate and commend the many town officials and department heads who have given generously of their time and efforts to assist this Board and are very appreciative for the close co-operation of the Board of Appeals in matters which were of mutual concern. JOHN A. RYAN, Chairman FRANCIS J. MALONEY, Secretary KEVIN LYNCH ROBERT SHUTT ROBERT M. SLAVIN 2G'-, TOWN OF WATERTOWN 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, 1961, is herewith submitted to the citizens of Watertown. All department heads under the Board have submitted detailed reports concerning the operation of their departments. Each re- port is printed elsewhere in this Town Report so there is no neces- sity to elaborate further concerning these departments. In March of this year, Pasquale Sclafani was elected to the Board for a three year term. Also, in March the new Board of Selectmen was organized resulting in the election of Edward G. Seferian (1960 — 1963) as Chairman and Philip Pane (1959 — 1962) as Clerk. The Board appointed August Stiriti as Town Coun- sel, and Arthur Morley as its Confidential Clerk. Edward G. Se- ferian resigned as Chairman of the Board on April 17, 1961, and Pasquale Sclafani was elected as Chairman on May 1, 1961. Our tax rate increased from $67.60 to $70.40, or an increase of $2.80. The school rate increased $0.70 and the general rate increased $2.10, making the total increase of $2.80. However, this rate was still lower than the average municipal rate in Massa- chusetts. We regret the passing of Maurice F. White, Building Inspec- tor, who died August 31, 1961. Mr. White served the Town faith- fully and well for a period of eleven years. His cheerfulness and devotion to duty will be remembered by all who came in contact with him. We also regret the passing of Mr. Peter J. Monahan, former Selectman of Watertown. Mr. Monahan replaced Mr. Arthur H. Whitney who died in office in the year 1927. Mr. James Clark was appointed temporary Building Inspector on September 21, 1961. The year 1961 has seen an upsurge of new building construc- tion in the Town. The Building Inspector reported that more than $2,000,000 in building permits were issued by the Department. Industrial construction is underway in the McNamara and Bemis Dump lands, and when these sections are fully developed, our tax base should be increased substantially. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 269 The first phase of sewage and drainage construction has been completed. Contracts have seen signed for the second phase of this program and work will start in the near future. Under Article 66 of the 1961 Warrant, the Town took seven parcels of land from the Boston & Maine Ralroad by eminent do- main for use of off-street parking. Construction of the incinerator was completed and same was officially opened on February 22, 1961. A new Housing for the Elderly consisting of forty apartments were ready for occupancy on August 1, 1961. It is hoped that in the near future, another project for the elderly will come into being. We are happy to state that no Special Town Meeting was held during 1961, thus saving the Town an additional expense. The Board of Selectmen held regular meetings every Monday beginning at 3 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 wishes to thank all department heads elected of- ficials and boards for the cooperation it has received during the past year. We also wish to thank the Finance Committee, other appointed committees and the Town Meeting Members for their faithful service. Respectfully submitted, PASQUALE SCLAFANI 270 TOWN OF WATERTOWN REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER The following is the report of the Town Engineer for 1961. The permanent and temporary personnel of the Engineering Department is as follows: James H. Sullivan — Town Engineer — Grade V Martin H. McGann, Jr.,—Assistant Town Engineer—Grade IV Joseph P. McHugh — Civil Engineer — Grade IV Joseph P. McCarthy — Junior Civil Engineer, Grade III, on leave of absence as of August 9, 1061. Philip M. Barrett — Junior Civil Engineer, Grade III Robert Gildea — Temporary Senior Engineering Aid Grade If Charles Gately — Appointed temporary Junior Engineering Aid Grade I, effective February 3, 1961 James Flaherty — Appointed temporary Junior Engineering Aide Grade I, effective February 2, 1961 Edward Lacey — Appointed temporary Junior Engineering Aide Grade I, effective April 10, 1961 Marion Lambert — Junior Clerk-Typist Richard Crowley —Temporary Junior Engineering Aide Grade I, terminated employment January 24, 1961 Harold Fitzgerald — Temporary Junior Engineering Aide, Grade I, Terminated employment January 5, 1961 SEWER AND WATER CONTRACT, this contract was started during 1960 and halted in December of that year due to inclement weather, this work was started again as soon as the spring thaws permitted and was completed in May. This contract was in the form of a lump sum bid in the amount of $54,000.00 plus the cost of necessary Police Traffic work for which the contract was re- imbursed by the Town of Watertown in the amount of $1182.12, there were extra work orders for the sewer connections installed as the work progressed in the amount of $890.00. The total for work performed was $56,072.12. SEWER AND DRAINAGE COMMITTEE, during 1961 the first contract under the program of the Committe was 99% com- plete and during the past year completed and accepted by the Town. The second stage of the program is now getting under way and preliminary plans for the layout of this work were prepared by this department, and given to Fay, Spofford & Thorndike En- gineers, Inc., to be used for final contract plans. These plans show the location and elevations of the existing utilities and struc- tures adjacent to the work. As in the first stage most of this work was performed on Town time, but due to the extensive scope of the work involved it was necessary to spend time outside of the regular hours of work which was paid for from the Engineering expenses of the Committee. By so doing the Town will in all prob- ability save about $3500. ANNUAL REPORTS — 1961 271 The Contract which was bid in two separate sections, Novem- ber 30, 1961 were as follows: Section A., B.F. Goodrich Company property, went to F.E. Daddario Corp. of Boston, Mass., for the estimated sum of $159,085.00. This work consists of the laying of about 1465 feet of reinforced concrete pipe 1300 feet of which is sixty inches in diameter. Section B, in the old B. & M. Railroad location, now owned by the Town of Watertown, from rear of Saltonstall Park to Forest Street, and Acton Street, from Rosedale Road to Rutland Street, went to Pacella Brothers, Inc., Dedham, Mass., for the estimated sum of $190,712.75. With the exception of the stretch on the Railroad location, the work is extending the installations of 1960 and 1961. During the past year this department furnished lines and grades where required in the work of the Highway Department such as street rebuilding, new sidewalk construction, new sewer and storm drain construction, one survey party is kept busy on the above work. (See statistical charts following this report). The work of preparing plans for changes in location, and new placement of parking meters was continued as in the past, also plans were prepared for the erection of stop signs and traffic signals; all such changes and new installations must have plans to accompany application for approval by the State Department Each year new buildings or additions to buildings are located directly on the ground and then plotted on original plans, kept in this officewith any new subdivisions of land. Prints of these origin- al plans are made and given to the Assessors Department, and Building Inspectors Department so that plans are kept up to date in each department. 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 property.. These plans are on a scale in most cases of 1 inch equals 40 foot. This Department prepared reports for the Town Counsel and investigated thirteen (13) accident claims by persons asking for damages because of alleged defects on public ways. If court pro- ceedings resulted from these claims, a member of this Depart- ment testified as to the conditions 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 encroachment on Town owned land and public streets. Construction work done by the Highway Department and work done by contractors for the Town is shown on the statistical charts following this report. 272 'TOWN OF WATERTOWN There have been numerous meetings this year of the Inciner- ator Committee, Sewer and Drainage Committee, Parking and Parking Meter Committee, Duplication of Street Names Committee. In conclusion I wish to extend my thanks to the Board of Selectmen, the Highway Department, and the Town Boards, Com- mittee Chairman, Department heads and all members of the De- partment for their fine spirit of co-operation given to me.
