REPORT OF SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE COMMITTEE
In connection with Article 79, Chairman Edward G. Seferiar
submitted the following report.
SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE COMMITTEE REPORT
The 1961 Annual Town Meeting authorized the expenditure of
$388,660.84 for the purpose of continuing improvements to our drain-
age systems, namely,
1. The continuation of a dual system from the termina-
tion of prior project at the settling tanks on property
of B. F. Goodrich Co. across said property to Melendy
Avenue and Oak Street.
2. The complete enclosure of brook running parallel to
Forest Street from a point near Waverley Avenue
eastward to point of completion behind Administration
Building.
3. The continuation of Acton Street system from point
of termination of last project at Rosedale Road west
along Acton Street to a point at Rutland Street.
At this writing, the contracts have virtually been performed
with an amount withheld from contractor on Acton Street system
32 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
to insure performance of final resurfacing work to be performed
in the Spring.
The contracts for construction of these projects were divided
into two parts, Section A and Section B, and prospective bidders
were allowed to bid on individual sections or both sections.
The request for proposals was advertised on November 16,
1961 in local and Boston newspapers and the firm of Fay, Spofford
& Thorndike, Inc., the Committee's consulting engineers, super-
vised the opening of said bids publicly at the Administration Build-
ing on November 30, 1961.
TLventy-two separate bids were received and opened, and af-
ter investigation, the consulting engineers recommended the low
bidder on Section A, the firm of Daddario Corporation at a low
bid of $159,085.00 and on Section B, the firm of Pacella Brothers,
Inc. at a low bid of $190,712.75
The total amount expended by the Committee for the con-
struction of these projects, including cost of engineering, amoun-
ted to $388,205.68 with a surplus of $454.86.
The 1961 Town Meeting authorized the transfer of $322,000.00
from the Sale of Dump Lands Account and the balance of $66,660.84,
carried over from prior drainage project, to be utilized for the
projects herein before stated.
Certificates of completion have been prepared by the Com-
mittee's engineer and are being held pending paving work to be
completed on Acton Street as previously mentioned.
The Sewerage and Drainage Committee has met regularly dur-
ing the period of construction and made several on-the-spot inspec-
tion tours of the projects during construction and at its termina-
tion.
The Committee, at a regularly scheduled meeting, heard fur-
ther recommendations from the Committee engineer, made at the
request of the Committee, for further construction and improve-
ments to our drainage system. The Committee received a petition
from residents of area of Nichols Avenue and Boylston Street com-
plaining about a serious surface water condition in yards and cel-
lars after heavy rains. Our engineers checked the sources of these
complaints and were satisfied that additional work should be done
in this area because of heavy run-off, topography and inadequacy of
existing system.
The engineer recommended the following for construction work
in the year 1963 —
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 33
1. Bemis Area System — from end of the contract now
under construction which was awarded by the Board
of Selectmen, as authorized by the 1962 Town Meet-
ing, to Waltham Street, including the crossing of Wal-
tham Street, estimated cost — $160,000.00
2. East Watertown System — from Melendy Avenue and
Oak Street to Boylston and Dartmouth Streets, esti-
mated cost — $200,000.00.
3. From Boylston and Dartmouth Streets to School and
Porter streets, estimated cost — $30,000.00.
3a.School Street north of Porter Street, estimated cost
$5,000.00
For a total estimated cost of $395,000.00
The Committee then voted to adopt the recommendation of its
Engineer and voted to insert an article in the 1963 Town Meeting
Warrant for such purpose. Pursuant to this action, members of
the Committee, through its Chairman, appeared before the Finance
Committee, at which time a comprehensive report was given to
the Finance Committee.
We are pleased to report that with completion of work con-
templated for 1963, together with work completed under the au-
thority of the Selectmen, the surface water drainage problem in
the two most critical areas has been resolved along with needed
work in other areas.
The Town has spent much over the past few years to improve
its drainage system. It has recognized that the problems exist and
has assumed its responsibilities by doing something about them.
Future Town Meetings may be asked to continue work plan-
ned in the "Master Plan" of improvements in areas which were
not considered as critical as these under consideration. The neces-
sity of this future work can be determined by a future Town Meet-
ing in its wisdom together with the consideration of the ability
of the Town to afford such improvements.
In conclusion, I wish to thank each member of the Sewerage
and Drainage Committee who worked so diligently in bringing a-
bout the much needed improvements to the Town's drainage sys-
tem.
I would also thank the members of the Finance Committee and
various other Departments of the Town and its loyal employees
34 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
through whose co-operation and understanding successful com-
pletion of this work has been realized.
Last but not least, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the
Town Meetings which have recognized their responsibilities and
mandated that Watertown shall continue to be a progressive town
and offer to its citizens the finest of facilities at the lowest possible
cost.

REPORT OF THE HOSMER SCHOOL SURVEY COM Wj:.-1'";r:
TO: THE ANNUAL TOWN 1vmz iL u1G OF THE TOWN OF
WATERTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS
AUTHORIZATION: This Committee was formed upon a affirm-
ative vote of the 1962 Annual Town Meeting on Article 76, name-
ly, "That the Town vote to authorize the Moderator to appoint
a Committee of Seven for the purpose of making a survey of
the need for major repairs, renovations, additions to, or replace-
ment of he Hosmer Elementary School Building; said Committee
to consist of the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, two mem
bers of he School Committee, one member of the Finance Com-
mittee, and three other citizens of the Town."
ORGANIZATION: On May 28, 1962 the appointed Committee
members met and organized with Mr. Edward S. Holland as Chair-
man and Mr. Peter Amershadian as Secretary.
HOSMER SCHOOL STATISTICS: The Hosmer School occupies
approximately 26,500 square feet of 80,270 square feet of land
bounded by Winthrop, Chauncey, Hancock and Boylston Streets
in east Watertown. It is the oldest and largest elementary school
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 35
In the Town with a 1962-63 enrollment of 738 pupils, taught in
30 classrooms by a faculty of 27 teachers.
The school building consists of three connected structures,
1. South Wing (original structure) built in 1898 houses 8
classrooms, a nurse's office, dentist's office and an office
for the school psychologist and adjustment counselor.
3. Middle Wing built in 1919 houses 12 classrooms, an as-
sembly hall and a recently converted science room in the
basement. ..
3. North Wing built in 1928 houses 10 classrooms, one of
which includes the library, the prncipal's office, teachers'
room and a combination gym and precinct voting room in
the basement.
STRUCTURE: The three structures, each with two stories above
their basements, are similar in construction except that the 1898
structure has stone masonry foundation walls and a hip roof,
whereas the additions have poured concrete foundation walls and
flat roofs. The structures are second-class, factory-type construc-
tion with brick masonry exterior walls and wood framed floors
and roofs. Interior floors are predominantly oiled wood with the
Library„ Sight saving Room and hallway in the north wing tiled;
walls and ceilings are plaster on wood laths with some wood
wainscoting in the original structure. The plastered walls and
ceilings are generally cracked and water stained from leakage
about the windows and through the roof.
The wood window frames and sash are badly rotted and should
be replaced.
Although there is evidence of settlement in the floors, the
building cannot be considered to be unsafe structurally. Therefore
renovation remains a possibility. However this type of construc-
tion is subject to conflagration and not recommended for new
school house construction.
The building is presently operating without a certificate front
the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety due to the lack of
approved second-exits from all classrooms, adequate exits from
the auditorium, the lack of sufficient fire screens in the corridors
and some open stairwells. The recommendations made by the
Department of Public Safety will require a large expenditure in
and of themselves.
36 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
The School Department has refrained from expending money
to correct this condition, awaiting the final report of this Com-
mittee.
BUILDING SERVICES: The electrical system comprising a single
phase, 125/250 volt, 225 amp service, 14 guage wire conductors
feeding the outlets and some relatively new but mostly antiquated
lighting fixtures does not deliver the proper degree of light for
classroom work. Circuits are continually being overloaded result-
in blown fuses. The entire system should be replaced.
All the student lavatories are located in the basements of the
three structures. Lavatory fixtures range from slate urinals to
china water closets and floor mounted urinals. All lavatories give
off varying degrees of foul odors and build up moisture on the
walls and floors due to inadequate ventilation, drainage and de-
fective fixtures.
The water closets are too high for the kindergarten children.
The water piping throughout the building is generally iron
pipe in varying degrees of decay, resultng in rusty water condi-
tions following school vacations. This piping should be completely
replaced with copper water tube.
Three oil-fired, low pressure (15 psi), horizontal return tub-
ular steam boilers constitute the heating plant. Two of these
boilers were installed about 1919 and the other one about 1928
and are in need of overhaul, leading to problems in heating the
building.
The ventilation system is operative in varying degrees of
efficiency.
Only excellent custodial services has kept this building in
presentable condition.
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES: Although the number of class-
rooms are adequate for the enrollment, they are in urgent need
of restoration; blackboards are poor; there is a general lack of
display areas, work sinks, shelving and storage space; and, ori-
ginal furniture still exists in two-thirds of the classrooms.
The audtorium, with a seating capacity of about 220, is too
small for the needs of a school with an enrollment of 738.
The precinct voting room in the basement of the north wing
is presentiy used as a gymnasium and is totally inadequate be-
cause of its low ceiling, extremely poor lighting and antique
wood block floor which buckles with damp weather.
ANNUAL REPORT'S — 1963 37
During the past two years an unused basement space in the
middle wing was renovated and equipped as a science room, but
falls far short of being adequate.
The Striley memorial Library on the second floor of the
north wing, formerly a classroom, was renovated several years
ago and has been newly furnished and is the only bright spot in
the building.
Administrative facilities are inadequate, lacking sufficient space
for secretarial work, and school records. There are no facilities
for principal — teacher/parent conferences. These facilities are
not centrally located and are difficult for visitors to find.
OUTSIDE RECREATION AREAS: The paved areas about the
School are in very poor condition and should be completely re-
placed. There are also several open exterior stairwells which
present a hazard to the children.
Recreation periods are held on the limited space about the
School, the play areas of the East Junior High School playground
and in Winthrop Street, which is closed to traffic during the
school day.
INVESTIGATIONS: The Committee toured the Hosmer School
Building in the company of Mr. John J. Harris, Principal; re-
viewed the original construction plans of the structures; had
several engineering and architectural firms review the building
to estimate the cost of the recommended study; and met with
represenatives of the Massachusetts School Building Assistance
Commission in Boston and at the Hosmer School.
CONCLUSIONS: Based upon the foregoing, the Committee feels
that to properly and intelligently make recommendation to the
Town Meeting on this problem it must
1. Obtain estimates from architectural firm of the cost to
a. Perform the recommendations of the Massachusetts De-
partment of Public Safety.
b. Completely renovate and bring the present building to
the standards of the Massachusetts School Building As-
sistance Commission which will require the re-allocation
of space and relocation of existing facilities with the pos-
sibility of an adddition.
c. Build a new structure.
38 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
2. Retain the services of a qualified firm to make an economic
feasibility study of the foregoing alternatives to determine
Which is in the best interests of the Town.
The Housing and Home Finance Agency of the U.S. Govern-
ment was contacted concerning the use of Federal Funds to per-
form the foregoing studies. They informed the Committee that
they could not participate in this phase of the problem, but would
participate in the preparation of working plans for the selected
project.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Committee recommends that the
Town Meeting vote to appropriate the sum of $6,000.00 under
Article 90 in the 1963 Warrant.

following for their invaluable assistance;

40 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
TO: Town Meeting Members
FROM: Watertown Planning Board
DATE: March 21, 1963
SUBJECT: PROGRESS REPORT ON THE COMPREHENSIVE
PLANNING PROGRAM
A. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROGRAM
Two years ago in March, 1961, the Town Meeting voted funds
to support the Planning Board in its preparation of a Comprehen-
sive Plan for the growth and development of the Town. Each
dollar of the Town's appropriation was to be matched by two
dollars of fereral funds. Federal approval for its share of the
cost of the planning program was obtained eight months later, in
November, 1961. Actual work on the Comprehensive Plan, there-
fore, started in January 1962. The Comprehensive Plan will be
completed by the end of this year — 1963.
In brief, this Comprehensive Plan will be a program for co-
ordinating Watertown's future population, economy, schools, re-
creational facilities, and its residential, commercial, and industrial
development. The Plan will recommend modifications of the
Town's street system; it will indicate the type and location of
new housing and commercial activity; it will suggest the location
and size of new areas for recreation; it will propose future uses
for the Oakley Country Club (if it ever agains comes on the
market) and the other large and small parcels of vacant land
throughout the Town; and it will make recommendations aimed
at increasing the Town's tax base. The Plan in all its aspects will
be a program to preserve those qualities the people of Watertown
have as an image of the Town — a modest, primarily residential
community closely related to Boston.
When the Comprehensive Plan is completed it will enable
the Planning Board (1) to anticipate probable future changes in
the Town, (2) to adjust to these inevitable changes, and (3)
where there are alternatives, to choose the most desirable changes
for the Town. Based on the proposals included in the Compre-
hensive Plan, the Town will be able to revise intelligently its
Zoning Bylaw and develop a staged program for the investment
of public funds for capital improvements (e.g.: school additions,
recreation areas, and street and utility improvements) as re-
quired by the Town.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 41
The Planning Board is convinced that a planned development
program of this sort is a sound use of the Town's tax dollars in
that it will bring the greatest economic and social return for
both public and private investment. One note of caution must be
made, however. The completion of the Plan at the end of this year
will be of no value to the Town if the policies and proposals in
the Plan are not acted upon Starting in 1964, and continuing over
the next years, Town Meeing members will be asked, through
Articles in the Warrant, to make decisions on proposals outlined
in the Comprehensive Plan. Only through your votes in the Town
Meeting can the Comprehensive Plan be made to work.
B. LONG-RANGE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ACCOM-
PLISHED DURING THE PAST YEAR
During the past year the Planning Board has concerned itself
with three broad areas of work.
1. A determination was made of the Town's planning ob-
jectives: How do the people living and working in Watertown
view the Town today? What do they see for the Town's future?
Two objectives seem to be agreed upon: (1) to keep Watertown
a fine residntial town, (2) to broaden the Town's tax base. These
objectives, however, are only generalizations, and in all proba-
bility, Watertown shares these goals with practically every other
community in the United States. In addition to these general goals,
the Planning Board, through neighborhood discussions, developed
a set of specific objectives which are being used as a guide to the
preparation of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. A series of analyses and evaluations was made of the re-
gional and local influences and trends — land use, population,
and economic growth — to determine their effect on the Town's
planning objectives. The compiling of this basic information has
been largely completed, except for reports on traffic circulation
and Watertown Square.
3. A comparison was made of the Town's planning objectives
(item 1 above) with its development trends (item 2 above). This
phase of the planning Board's work during the past year was the
critical phase of Watertown's comprehensive planning program.
The extent to which the existing and potential trends can or can-
not achieve Watertown's planning objectives will determine, in
large measure, the future Planning Board recommendations for
the Town's growth. If the trends run counter to these objectives,
the Planning Board will have to either modify the objectives or
take steps to stop the trends.
42 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
C. SHORT-RANGE 'PLANNING ACCOMPLISHED DURING
THE PAST YEAR
In addition to the comprehensive planning effort outlined
above, the Planning Board during the past year has attemped to
aid the Board of Selectmen on a number of planning questions
that have arisen during the year. Last summer's alarm concern•
ing the possible sale of the Oakley Country Club, for example, led
the Planning Board to study the consequences to the Town of
such a sale. This study recommended that the Town stop paying
the costs of streets and utilities in new developments by requir.
ing that these costs be carried by the developers themselves. Up
to now, the Town has paid a major part of these costs.
Other examples of Planning Board action during the past year
are two special studies, concerning the existing parking situation
in Watertown Square and the possible future uses of the Town•
owned railroad right-of-way, which were prepared to aid the
Selectmen in deciding whether or not to sell this land. Suggestions
also were made concerning the availablility of federal funds
for the renovaton of the Administration Building.
In addition, a study was made of existing state legislation
governing the establishment of the Town's Planning Board and
outlining its duties. As a result of this review, the Board intro-
duced Article 101 into the Warrant for this Town Meeting asking
for the appointment of a Moderator's committee to study the
value of re--establishing the Planning Board under a revised
Chapter of the Massachusetts General Laws called the Improved
Method of Municipal Planning.
D. FUTURE WORK PROGRAM
After the current studies of the Town's development trends
have been completed, the Planning Board will review all the basic
and special studies and will prepare the Comprehensive Plan.
This Plan will reflect a realistic compromise of trends modified
to fit the needs of Watertown's Planning objectives and of plan-
ning objectives modified to reflect the reality of existing and
potential trends.
Finally, the Planning Board will give its attention to a re-
vision of the Town's existing Zoning Bylaw The text of Water-
town's Bylaw has been amended and revised on numerous occa-
sions. The Bylaw contains a number of modern provisions but,
in the main, it is ,inadequate to protect the Town from adverse
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 43
development patterns. Substantial changes in the Bylaw are clear-
ly required. However, the Planning Board is anxious not to pre-
sent zoning articles to the Town Meeting until the whole Town
has had an opportunity to throughly examine and discuss the
proposed changes. For this reason, the proposed changes in the
Zoning Bylaw will not be in the form of warrant articles for the
March, 1964, Town Meeting.
Instead of articles for the warrant, the Planning Board will
prepare a memorandum, for review by the March, 1964, Town
Meeting analyzing the limitations of the existing Zoning Bylaw
and proposing certain modifications. This memorandum will serve
to inform the Town Meeting of the character of zoning changes
to be recommended by the Planning Board as a result of its
comprehensive planning studies. Following discussion of these
recommendations, the Planning Board will ask the Town Meeting
in March, 1964, to appropriate funds to translate these zoning
proposals into legal language. If the Town Meeting approves this
appropriation, the Planning Board will request a Special Town
Meeting to be held in the Fall of 1964 to review and vote on these
marily to this purpose, is considered necessary by the Planning
proposed zoning changes. A Special Town Meeting, devoted pri-
Board to permit a full and detailed discussion of all of the im-
plications of the proposed Zoning Bylaw.

names upon the ballot to be used at said preliminary election
and no other nomination to said office shall be made. If in con-
sequence it shall appear that no names are to be printed upon

REGULATING THE USE OF WAYS BY PEDES-
TRIANS, AND PROVIDING FOR THE NON-CRIMI-

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in
General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as
follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter 90 of the General Laws is hereby amended
by inserting after section 18 of the following section:— Section 18A.
The department, the metropolitan district commission, the traffic
and parking commission of the city of Boston, the traffic commission
of any city or town having such a commission with authority to pro-
mulgate traffic rules, the city council of any other city, and the
board of selectmen of any other town may, subject to the provisions
of Section two of chapter eighty-five, adopt, amend and repeal rules,
not repugnant to law, regulating the use by pedestrians of ways
within their respective control; provided, however, that no such rule
adopted by said traffic and parking commission or by any such traf-
fic commission, any city council or any board of selectmen shall take
effect until approved in writing by the department, nor, in the case of
any such rule adopted by said traffic and parking commission, until
published in the City Record, or, in the case of any other such rule,
until published in a newspaper published in the city or town in which
such rule is to be applicable, if any, otherwise in the county wherein
such city or town lies. As used in this paragraph, the word "pedes-
trian" shall include a person in or on any conveyance, other than a
bicycle, constructed and designed for propulsion by muscular power,
as well as including a person on foot. Whoever violates any pro-
vision of any such rule shall be punished by a fine of one dollar for
the first, second or third such offense committed by such person
within the jurisdiction of the district court in the particular calen-
dar year, and by a fine of two dollars for the fourth or subsequent
such offense so committed in such calendar year.
If a police officer takes cognizance of a violation of any pro-
vision of any such rule, he shall forthwith give to the offender a
written notice to appear before the clerk of the district court
having jurisdiction, at any time during office hours, not later than
124 TOWN OF WATERTOWN

the offender, the time, place and nature of the violation, and the

such police officer shall give his commanding officer two copies of
such notice. Said commanding officer shall retain one such copy in
his files and, not later than the next court day, deliver the other
copy to the clerk of the court before whom the offender has been
notified to appear.
A police officer taking cognizance of any such violation may
request the offender to state his name and address. Whoever, upon
such request, refuses to state his name and address, or states a false
name and address or a name and address which is not his name and
address in ordinary use, shall be punished by a fine of not less than
twenty nor more than fifty dollars. Any such offender who refuses
upon such request to state his name and address may be arrested
without a warrant; but no person shall be arrested without a war-
rant for any other violation of any provision of this paragraph
or for any violation of any provision of any such rule.
Any person notified to appear before the clerk of a district
court as hereinafter provided may appear before such clerk and
confess the offense charged, either personally or through an agent
duly authorized in writing or by mailing to such clerk, with the
notice, the sum provided herein, such payment to be made only by
postal note, money order or check. If it is the first, second or third
offense subject to this section committed by such person within the
jurisdiction of the court in the calendar year, payment to such clerk
of the sum of one dollar shall operate as a final disposition of the
case, if it is the fourth or subsequent such offense so committed in
such calendar year payment to such clerk of the sum of two dollars
shall operate as a final disposition of the case. Proceedings under
this paragraph shall not be deemed criminal; and no person notified
to appear before the clerk of a district court as provided herein shall
be required to report to any probation officer, and no record of the
case shall be entered in the probation records.
Should any person notified to appear before the clerk of the
district court fail to appear or, having appeared, desire not to avail
himself of the procedure hereinafter provided for the non-criminal
disposition of the case, the clerk shall, as soon as may be, notify
the officer concerned, who shall forthwith make a complaint and
follow the procedure established for criminal cases. If any person
fails to appear in accordance with the summons issued upon such
complaint the clerk shall send such person by registered mail, return
receipt requested, a notice that the complaint is pending and that if

the person fails to appear within twenty-one days from the sending
of such notice a warrant for his arrest will be issued. If any person
fails to appear within twenty-one days from the sending of such
notice the court shall issue a warrant for his arrest.
A violation of any provision of any such rule or of any provision
of this section shall not, in any civil proceeding, constitute negli-
gence or be admissible as evidence of negligence, nor shall a con-
viction for such violation be shown to affect the credibility of a
witness in any proceeding.
The provisions of this section relative to ways within the con-
trol of cities or towns shall be effective in cities or towns accepting

posed of in accordance with law; and it shall be the duty of the

forthwith that such case has been so disposed of. The notice to ap-
pear, provided herein, shall be printed in such form as the chief

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The new Finance Committee met in the Spring and Summer
of 1962 to organize and make sub-committee appointments. Sub-
committee members and your Chairman had an opportunity to
review the work of Department Heads and to personally inter-
view several individuals responsible for the make-up of the Town's
Budget.
Regular meetings commenced in the Fall and have been held
on continuous Monday nights. Although open to the public, these
meetings were un-attended by public and press alike. However,
effective work was accomplished not only by the Finance Com-
mittee, but also in joint-session with the Board of Selectmen,
Personnel Board, and Board of Assessors. These combined boards
are in unanimity that liaison meetings are a great help in effect-
ing clarity in budgetary matters, and should include other Depart.
ment and Committee heads.
The Chairman wishes to commend those Department Heads
who have reduced their budgets while continuing to maintain
efficient Departments. However, it is felt that those Department
Heads who seek salary increases and Department Budget increases
as well, fail to see the value of balanced judgment.
In a most trying year of salary increases and Departmental
budget increases the total requests for appropriations were cut
approximately $370,595.48.
The Finance Committee is in complete agreement with the
Personnel Board, and that job classification wage, and salary mat-
ters be the responsibility of the Personnel Board and the Town
Meeting, and not the Finance Committee.
The recommendations for the 1963 Town Budget are respect-
fully submitted for your consideration, and it is urged that due
recognition be given to the deliberations of the Finance Conu lt-
tee. In the Iast analysis the vote of the Town Meeting is the final
vote, and the Finance Committee stands ready to help clarify
each and every item of the Budget that a just vote may result in
the efficient and effective operation of the services rendered by
the Town to its citizens and guests.
You will note that the Report of the Finance Committee this
year includes not only reports of various outstanding commit-
tees, but also our motions on articles appearing in the Warrant
which involve an appropriation. These additions should be help-
ful to Town Meeting Members and should be read carefully.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 133
Please note that the estimated tax rate figures do not appear
in our report this year. The Department of Corporations and
Taxation have not released the so-called "cherry sheet" which
contains both the state and county assessments, also estimated
receipts from the Commonweatlh.
Without these figures, it is impossible to estimate our 1963
tax rate.
I wish to express my appreciation to the members of the
Finance Committee for their cooperation and faithful attendance
to our meetings.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING SURVEY COMMITTEE
The Administration Building Survey Committee met through-
out 1962 in the furtherance of its assignment and as directed by
the 1962 Annual Town Meeting, employed an Architect to make a
preliminary professional survey of the space needs, necessity of
elevator installation, and feasability and cost of air conditioning.
The Architect chosen, after ten had been requested to bid, and six
had been interviewed, was Paul G. Feloney, 140 1/2 Mt. Auburn
Street, Watertown, Mass. He met with the Committee three times
and made an independent, comprehensive study of the problem, in
accordance with the specifications of his Contract. His preliminary
report, received by the Committee, December 1st, consisted of 13
pages of text, and 4 of sketches.
In accordance with the recommendations which have been
adopted by the Committee, it was voted to insert in the Warrant,
an Article calling for an appropriaion of money, for the purpose
of obtaining final architectural drawings and plans to accomplish
the work deemed necessary by the Committee. It was voted fur-
ther that the Committee, with the cooperation of the Selectmen,
and with the hoped for approval of the Town Meeting, woula
apply to the Community Facilities Administration of the Housing
and Home Finance Agency, for an interest free advance of funds
to accomplish this planning.

COMNi-ri"i'L';r: TO STUDY EROSION AT
DOMENIC FILIPELL.O PLAYGROUND
ARLINGTON STREET
This Committee was created under Article 15 of the Warrant
for Special Town Meeting of June 11, 1962, Article 15 reads as
follows:
ARTICLE 15: To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and
provide by transfer or otherwise the sum of five thousand dollars
($5,000.00) to pay for professional assistance in surveying the re-
quirements of Domenic Filipello Playground with regard to ero.
sion of land; to direct how the money shall be raised, or take any
action relating thereto. (Request of Board of Park Commission-
ers.)
VOTED: That the subject matter of Article 15 be referred
to a Committe of five to be appointed by the Moderator and to
report to the next Annual Town Meeting.
To this Committee the Moderator appointed the following:
Harry E. Risso
Arthur McCurley
Frederick Parshley
John J. Farrington
Edmund P. Hickey
The above committee met on July 31, 1962 to discuss the
subject matter of the Article and proceeded in a group to view
the premises under discussion as well as to view the buildings
which abut the Playground.
It should be noted that the conditions of this Playground were
the subject matter of a Committee Report made to the Annual
Town Meeting of 1962.
It should also be noted that the current Committee was
fortunate in having as one of its committee members a citizen
who is employed as a construction superintendent and therefore
well versed in analysing the conditions which were found.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1383 153
It appeared that there were no gutters on the abutting build-
ings which would cause most of the washing-down of the soil.
Part of the premises is also being used as a dump and the chem-
icals from the refuse are killing the plants and shrubberry which
are known to be deterrents to erosion.
Th Committee recommends that an asphalt culvert be in-
stalled at the top of the hill so that surface waters may be
brought to ground level without washing down the soil. It further
recommends that the premises be re-graded and filled to grade
with loam and fill and that a number of plants, shrubbery and
small trees be planted to prevent further erosion. The Commit•
tee feels that construction of the asphalt culvert and the grading
filling and planting could be accomplished for a sum of ap-
proximately ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) and recommends
that the Board of Park Commissioners request an appropriation
for such amount for the above purposes.
The Committee requests that it be discharged.

COMMri-i r;r� ON TOWN ORGANIZATION AND STRUCTURE
Annual Report
The Committee on Town Organization and Structure, au-
thorized by Article 101 of the 1962 Annual Town Warrant, was
appointed by Moderator Thomas C. Menton on April 27, 1962.
The membership of the Committee during the first year of its
existence has been identical wth that of the temporary Committee
of Seven, appointed in May, 1961 to study the adequacy of the
present Limited Town Meeting-Selectmen Government.
The first task of the new Committee, which held its organi.
zation meeting on May 7, 1962, was to plan for the presentation
of the proposed new Town Meeting Act and the other articles
embodying the recommendations of the Committee of Seven
at the Special Town Meeting on June 11, 1962.With the assistance
of the League of Women Voters, the Committee held three meet-
ings in different sections of the town, on June 4, 6, and 7, to
which Town Meeting Members and others were invited in order
to discuss the proposed changes.
At the June, 1962, Special Town Meeting, the three articles
calling for changes in the By-Laws that were recommended by
the Committee were adopted by a unanimous vote. The fourth
article, covering the Proposed Town Meeting Act, was adopted
by a substantial majority. The bill has been filed for the 1963
session of the Legislature by Rep. Paul Menton and will be acted
upon some time this spring.
The new business considered by the Committee on Town
Organization and structure during the past year includes the
subject matter of Articles 91, 92 and 94 of the Annual Town
Warrant for 1962.
ARTICLES 91 AND 94 (AUSTRALIAN BALLOT)
The Committee discussed the possible use of a vote by
Australian ballot in Town Meeting when there is doubt concern-
ing a voice vote. In Belmont, the Moderator may at his own
discretion decide whether to call for a standing vote or a Yes or
No vote by ballot. In certain other towns, the ballot is used reg-
ularly on fiscal questions.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 155
The Committee recognizes that some Town Meeting Mem-
bers would feel less subject to pressure when voting by secret
ballot. It believes, however, that there are other factors involved
which deserve further consideration, and it is not prepared to
make a recommendation to the Town Meeting in 1963.
RECOMMENDATION ... .. .. . ARTICLE 92 (Stabilization Fund)
Within the past five years a number of towns in the Com-
monwealth have appropriated money to establish and build up
stabilization funds, whether by adding to the tax levy or by trans-
fer from the Excess and Deficiency Account. Such a fund, built
up over the years, earns a substantial amount of interest and
also saves money by reducing the amount of borrowing necessary
for capital expenditures. The history of the Arlington stabiliza-
tion fund may be taken as an illustration:
ARLINGTON STABHJZATION FUND
Appropriated — 1958 $150,000
Appropriated — 1959 100,000
Income (interest, etc.) 12,859
Appropriated — 1961 50,000
Income 16,474
$329,333
Withdrawn for Stratton School 100,000
Balance, December 31, 1961 $229,333
Appropriated — 1962 125,000
Total $354,333
The Committee believes that it would be desirable to have a
stabilization fund in Watertown, especially if steps were taken
at the same time to provide an orderly plan for future capital
outlay. The Committee therefore Recommends that the Town
establish a Stabilization Fund, with an initial appropriation for
this purpose of not less than $25,000 nor more than $100,000, said
sum to be placed on the tax levy or transferred from the Excess
and Deficiency Account, at the discretion of the Town Meeting.
The Committee also recommends that the Town Meeting esta-
blish a Committee of nine to make long-range plans for the Town's
Capital outlay needs, said Committee to include, ex officiis, a
member of the Board of Selectmen, a member of the Finance
Committee, a member of the School Committee, a member of the
Planning Board, the Treasurer, the Auditor and, in addition, three
citizens appointed by the Moderator.
156 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
To implement these recommendations, the Committee will
insert articles in the 1963 Annual Town Warrant substantially as
follows:
ARTICLE 81 To see if the Town will vote to establish a Stabili-
zation Fund, with an initial appropriation for this purpose of not
less than $25,000 nor more than $100,000, direct how said sum
shall be raised, or take any action relating thereto. (Request of
Committee on Town Organization and Structure)
ARTICLE 98 To see whether the Town will vote to establish a
committee of nine to make long-range plans for the Town's capital
outlay needs, said committee to include, ex ofilciis, a member of the
Board of Selectmen, a member of the Finance Committee, a member
of the School Committtee, a member of the Planning Board, the
Treasurer, the Auditor, each to be appointed by the Moderator each
year and 3 citizens to be appointed by the Moderator; providing
that of the three citizens to be so appointed, one shall be appointed
for a term of five years, one for four years, and one for three years;
and that on the expiration of the term of any of these first three
citizens so appointed, his successor shall be appointed for a term
of three years, or take any action relating thereto. (Request of Com-
mittee on Town Organization and Structure.
When the Committee on Town Organization and Structure
was appointed, two other matters were still pending from the
report of its predecessor, the Committee of Seven, namely, re-
consideration of Town Meeting votes and nonpartisan voting in
Town elections.
At its first meeting May, 1962, the Committee decided to post-
pone indefinitely further study of the subject of reconsideration
of Town Meeting votes.
The Committee studied and discussed at length the question
of nonpartisan voting in Town elections, and a subcommittee
under the chairmanship of Mr. Wellman compiled information
about the practice in other towns of the Commonwealth. Al.
though the majority of these towns hold nonpartisan local elec-
tions, in many cases there is no solid information as to how the
present system of voting was brought about. The Committee
studied in some detail Chapter 149, Acts of 1955, under which the
Town of Amherst is authorized to hold nonpartisan local elections.
It also studied Chapter 491, Acts of 1945, which provides for the
holding of a nonpartisan preliminary election in the Town of
Dracut.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 157
Any recommendation on this subject from the Committee
must deal with the desirability as well as the feasibility of a
change in the method of election of Town officials. At present
candidates are nominated by party caucuses in which only a small
percentage of the registered voters take part. The following table
gives the Caucus for the past five years.

1962 3019 138
The average number of registered voters in Watertown
during the past five years was about 20,000.
RECOMMENDATION . .. .. .. . Non-partisan Preliminary Election
It is felt that a change in the procedure for nominating Town
officials would encourage greater participation on the part of the
electorate. The Committee therefore recommends that the Town
Meeting be asked to vote on the following articles:
ARTICLE 93 To see if the Town will vote to recommend hold-
ing nonpartisan preliminary elections and further regulating the
contents of ballots used in the Town, or take any action relating
thereto. (Request of Committee on Town Organization and Struc-
ture.)
ARTICLE 94 To see if the Town will vote to direct the Selectmen
to file with the Massachusetts Legislature for action in the year
1964 the following special legislation relating to nonpartisan pre-
liminary elections and regulating the contents of ballots used in the
Town:
AN ACT PROVIDING FOR NON-PARTISAN PRELIMINARY
ELECTIONS IN THE TOWN OF WATERTOWN, AND
REGULATING THE CONTENTS OF BALLOTS USED AT
ELECTIONS IN SAID TOWN.
Be it enacted as follows:
SECTION 1. Any person who is qualified to vote in the
town of Watertown may be a candidate for an elective town
office therein and shall be entitled to have his name as such
candidate printed on the official ballot to be used at a pre-
liminary election; provided, that he shall file nomination papers
provided by the town clerk containing no less than fifty signa-
tures certified as voters of the town.
158 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
SECTION 2. The preliminary election shall be held on the
twenty-eighth day preceding every regular or special town
election.
SECTION 3. No primary or caucus for the nomination of
town officers shall be held. No ballot used at any preliminary,
regular or special election in said town shall have printed
thereon any party or political designation or mark, and there
shall not be appended to the name of any candidate any such
political designation or mark.
SECTION 4. Nomination papers must be filed with the
town clerk not later than five o'clock in the afternoon of the
twenty-first day preceding the preliminary election. Every
nomination paper shall be submitted to the registrars of voters
for certification of the names thereon on or before five o'clock
in the afternoon of the seventh day preceding the day on which
it must be filed with the clerk.
SECTION 5. The election officers shall immediately
upon the closing of the polls at the preliminary election, count
the ballots and ascertain the number of votes cast in the several
voting places for each candidate, and forthwith make return
thereof upon blanks to be furnished, as in regular elections,
to the town clerk who shall canvass said returns and shall
forthwith determine the result thereof.
SECTION 6. The two persons receiving at a preliminary
election the highest number of votes for nomination for an
office shall be the sole candidates for that office whose names
may be printed on the official ballot to be used at the regular
or special election at which such office is to be filled, and no
acceptance of a nomination at a preliminary election shall be
necessary to its validity.
If two or more persons are to be elected to the same office
at such regular or special election the several persons in num-
ber equal to twice the number so to be elected receiving at such
preliminary election the highest number of votes for nomination
for that office shall be the sole candidates for that office whose
names may be printed on the official ballot.
If the preliminary election results in a tie vote among
candidates for nomination receiving the lowest number of
votes, which, but for said tie vote, would entitle a person re-
ceiving the same to have his name printed upon the official
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 159
ballot for the election, all candidates participating in said tie vote
shall have their names printed upon the official ballot, although
in consequence there be printed thereon names of candidates to a
number exceeding twice the number to be elected.
SECTION 7. If at the expiration of the time for filing
nomination papers of candidates to be voted for at any pre-
liminary election not more than twice as many such papers
have been filed with the town clerk for an office as there are
persons to be elected to such office, the candidates whose
nomination papers have thus been filed shall be deemed to have
been nominated to said office, and their names shall be voted
on for such office at the succeeding regular or special election,
as the case may be, and the town clerk shall not print said
names upon the ballot to be used at said preliminary election
and no other nomination to said office shall be made. If in con-
sequence it shall appear that no names are to be printed upon
the official ballot to be used at any preliminary election in the
town, no preliminary election shall be held.
SECTION 8. Except as otherwise provided in this act, the
laws of the commonwealth governing town elections, special
elections of town officers and special elections in towns shall,
so far as applicable, govern such elections in the town of
Watertown.
SECTION 9. Town Meeting member nomination papers
must be filed with the town clerk not later than five o'clock in
the afternoon of the twenty-eighth day preceding the town
election. Every such nomination paper shall be submitted to
the registrars of voters for certification of the names thereon
on or before five o'clock in the afternoon of the seventh day
preceding the day on which it must be filed with the town clerk.
Incumbent Town Meeting Members may become candidates for
reelection by giving written notice to the town clerk not later
than fourteen days prior to the last day and hour for filing
town meeting nomination papers.
SECTION 10. This Act shall be submitted to the voters
of the town of WATERTOWN at the annual town meeting to
be held in the year nineteen hundred and sixty-four, in the
form of the following question, which shall be printed on the
official ballot used for the election of town officers: "Shall an
act passed by the general court in the year nineteen hundred
and sixty-four entitled " 'An Act providing for non-partisan
preliminary elections in the town of Watertown, and regulating
the contents of ballots used at elections in said town', be ac-
160 TOWN OF WATERTOWM
cepted?" If a majority of the voters voting thereon vote in
the affirmative in answer to said question, this act shall there-
upon take full effect, but not otherwise, or take any action
relating thereto.

sive plan and a proposed new zoning by-law. This study represents
two years of intensive work by the Planning Board and it's plan-
ning consultants, Planning Services Group of Cambridge, Massa-
chusetts. This plan was scheduled to be completed in November
of this year, however, the State Department of Commerce ex-
tended the time for it's completion to December 31, 1963.
The Planning Board in it's 1963 budget requested and re-
ceived one thousand dollars to print and distribute an explanation
of both the plan and the proposed new zoning by-law to the
townspeople. Extending the time for the contract resulted in the
Planning Board being unable to print and distribute this explana-
tion in 1963.
The Planning Board not having expended this sum in 1963
has returned it to the town and will request the Finance Com-
mittee to return this amount to it in addition to it's 1964 bud-
get requests in order that the townspeople will have available
to them this study which they have been so patiently awaiting.
The first part of the year was devoted to completing the
public planning area meetings and consulting with various town
officials. The information gathered from these meetings was use-
ful in writing the comprehensive plan.
The second part of the year was given over to making the
final decisions regarding policies and proposals of the plan and
the proposed new zoning by-law.
It is the wish of the Planning Board that this plan will be
used to guide the town in the years to come.
The Planning Board will hold a public hearing early in 1964
on the proposed new zoning by--law and will present it to the
special town meeting to be held in the Spring. The Planning Board
believes that the adoption of the by-law will benefit the town
considerably and that it is the first of many steps to be taken
to implement the comprehensive plan.
There were no requests for zoning changes in 1963. Conse-
quently the Board held no public hearings.
186 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
In the coming year the Planning Board is requesting funds
for the following:
1. For consulting services in order that the Board may prop-
erly advice the Selectmen on the sale and purchase of land.
2. So that it may consult with town and state agencies on
traffic impact and street changes.
3. To provide for a major study of Watertown Square to
determine if an urban renewal program would be advisable.
4. To provide for a study of special projects that may arise
in the current year.
The Planning Board believes that these funds are necessary
if it is to function properly in the best interest of the town.

ANNUAL REPORTS — 190 187
REPORT OF THE VETERANS' SERVICES
Eighteen years have now passed since the close of World
War 11, and eight since the end of the Korean conflict, so that as
a result of time passage, the average age of our veteran popula-
tion has advanced to the point where even the youngest Korean
veteran is about thirty, the typical World War H veteran is forty-
five, and World War I veterans, between sixty-seven and seventy-
five, and Spanish War veterans are no longer a significant factor
in our veteran population.
The principal contributing incidents to financial need in
veterans' families at present are as follows: unskilled Korean
veterans who have difficulty locating new jobs when laid off;
World War II veterans who suffer mental and physical break-
downs before their families are fully grown; and World War I
widows who are unable to maintain homes on Social Security
benefits and V. A. pensions.
In 1963, the cost of Veterans' benefits in Watertown, jumped
about $5,000.00, or 6 7o over the previous year. This increase was
attributable partially to a higher budget scale which went into
effect in May, and to greatly increased hospital expense for the
care of dependents. The heavier cost was somewhat unexpected,
since the Federally aided categories of Public Welfare Department
have heen so broadened in eligibility in recent years, that there
are fewer citizens who may now be exclusively served under the
Veterans Benefit Program. A state trend towards the consolida-
tion of all departments dealing in health, education, and welfare,
patterned after the National cabinet level department, is now
being studied, and the trend of legislative thinking in this direc-
tion is now become more positive. One likely result will be a
administrative costs beginning in a year or two when some con-
crete results of the studies now taking place, are felt.

REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY
In the recurring pattern that has seemed to take place since
1950 when Civil Defense was reactivated, 1963 could be consid-
ered a quiet year, as compared to 1962, when the Cuban crisis,
plus the adoption of the first phase of the Federal Shelter Pro-
gram made for a very busy time. Congress in 1963 failed to take
action on the second step of the Shelter Program which calls
for Federal incentive payments to business and industry, to help
finance the inclusion of fall-out shelter spaces in new plant con-
struction.
The impact of such a cycle is that local programs of Civil
Defense encounter great difficulties inducing citizens to take
training during the so-called "quiet" years. This is unfortunate
because the need for trained radiation monitor personnel, shelter
managers, and persons with the knowledge of medical self-help
is at its greatest at this time, as a necessary element of a work-
able nation]. program of Civil Defense to complement our military
strength.
Watertown's most pressing need apart from the candidates
for training mentioned above, is for physical improvements at
the Control Center at the Highway Garage, to make the area
both 100010 radiation proof, and habitable, for an extended period
of time.
The State Civil Defense Agency this year moved into a com-
pletely underground headquarters at Framingham, costing nearly
$3,000,000. Our neighboring communities of Waltham, Natick
and Weston have all transferred their Civil Defense operations
centers to new locations, which are fall-out safe. These moves
have required substantial expenditures of money, whereas our
community could achieve the same result with a much smaller
outlay, since the physical design of our present center is 90%,
satisfactory, an advantage that our neighbors did not have. Modi-
fications such as installation of a ventilating system and toilet
facilities are required, however, to attain a satisfactory location
for carrying out the tasks that will be imposed by a fall-out
situation. In addition, all governmental operations for the town
will likely have to be carried out from the Control Center for
several days after an attack.
It is hoped that the town meeting will see the wisdom of ap-
propriating the necessary funds in 1964.

Director of Civil Defense

REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT
INSPECTIONS
Seven hundred and ninety-three (793) permits for wiring and
fixture installations and five (5) annual permits for plant opera-
tions were issued during the year. Inspections and reinspections
occasioned by the issuance of these permits plus inspections of
buildings and 'business properties to be reoccupied resulted in
approximately thirty-two hundred (3200) individual calls. Receipts
for permits in the amount of $411.50 has been paid to the Town
Treasurer.
11ZAINTENANCE
The regular recurrent maintenance work of repairing, test-
ing, oiling and cleaning our Fire Alarm, Police and Traffic Light
equipment was performed. Also repairs on all Town owned
electrical equipment in buildings were made whenever we were
able to do so. The supervision of street lighting was given much
time and many corrections made to better our lighting conditions.
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 $924.40, this includes labor and materials to Town owned
traffic lights, Fire and Police boxes and in each case, the Town
Counsel and Town Clerk were notified, so as to make claim for
recovery of the cost of the damages.
FIRE ALARM HEADQUARTERS
This Division is on a 24 hour a day basis and handled one
hundred and sixty-five (165) alarms of fire from boxes pulled
on the streets; one hundred and thirty-five (135) alarms of fire
received by telephone, two thousand five hundred and eighteen
(2518) alarms received over our Mutual Aid circuits; fifteen (15)
alarms of fire received over A.D.T. Circuits. The following tests
were made by operators; Mutual Aid (4330), Auxiliary Generator
190 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
(104), daily circuit test (5175). The operators also transmit "No
School" Signals; admit officials into the Administration Building
after hours and contact Wire Department personnel after hours
for emergency work on Fire Alarm, Police and Traffic light
breakdowns.
Again I wish to call your attention to the fact that the Fire
Alarm is operated with one man to a shift. This is a dangerous
situation as one operator is on duty during an eight hour shift
and the fire alarm headquarters is an isolated room in the base-
ment of•the Administration Building, which is vacated at night,
on holidays and over the weekends. The recent survey by the
National Board of Fire Underwriters recommends a two man shift
and the shifting of the P.B.X. telephone board from Fire Head-
quarters to Fire Alarm Headquarters and putting the personnel
under the supervision of the Fire Departmnt, which I strongly
recommend for the safety of the public and the safety of the
operators.

REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT
The Superintendent of Parks and Park Department have done
an excellent job keeping the parks, deltas, tennis courts, skating
rinks in top condition. This is no easy task as the number of
activities that the Recreaton Department, Schools, and various
clubs have are on the increase, while the number of men working
in the department remains the same.
The .fences surrounding Victory Field and West Junior Play-
ground were painted this year, adding to the beauty of these
two fields. During the winter months all bleachers and field
houses are repaired and painted to prepare for the coming spring
season. All the swings that the children of Watertown enjoy so
much are repaired during the inclement weather.
We have purchased one piece of new equipment, a Toro 76 inch
Professional Power Mower and lights were installed at Bemis
Playground for night games and night skating for the benefit
of all.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
Approximately two hundred and seven (247) trees were plant-
ed 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 he trees on private property for Earwigs,
Poison Ivy, Japanese Beetles, General Spraying, Dormant and
Birch Leaf Miner whenever requested to do so by owners.
One hundred and forty-two (142) decayed and injured trees
were removed during the year — fifty-four (54) of these had the
Dutch Elm disease.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS
From January 1, 1963 through December 31, 1963 the Board
heard and decided thirty-six appeals. Two cases are pending court
decisions.
Many of the appeals heard were cases of first impression re-
quiring extensive legal research in order to reach sound con-
clusions of law. The Board took views of the subject premises of
the appeals and the areas in which they were located so as to
enable us to render decisions based in part on personal knowledge
thereby acquired. The large number of appeals necessitated the
setting up of additional hearing dates and the holding of special
meetings of the Board to discuss and dispose of pending appeals.
In rendering our decisions we endeavored, to the best of our
ability and understanding, to give full consideration to the ap-
plicable laws and statutes, to the interests of the appellants, abut-
ters and neighbors and to the interest of the Inhabitants of the
Town of Watertown. We trust that our decisions reflect our
work, effort and diligence.
We note that our recommendation for revision of the Zoning
By-law has been met with and the proposed By-law will be ready
to be presented at the 1964 Town Meeting.

REPORT OF THE COUNCIL FOR THE AGING
ACTIVITIES OF 1963
During the past year 12 trips were made by the elder citizens
of this Town to the following locations:
Summer — Hampton Beach 2
Salem Willows 1
Nantasket :9
Fall — Goff's Falls 2
Nashua 1
Mohawk Trail a
Winter — Portsmouth 1

For the above listed trips, the Council has been asked to
thank the Town for enjoyable moments otherwise unavailable to
those who participated.
PROJECTS FOR 1-964
In the coming year this Council hopes to afford these wonder-
ful people a Drop-in-Center in the vicinity of Watertown Square.
This Center will allow these senior citizens to relax with their own
age group, hold meetings, run cake, rummage and white ele-
phant sales and to have a central location which will inform them
of coming events held in this town and else where in the state.
We hope the Senior Citizens Club will be enlarged to twice its
present size, and to be more active in its endeavors and projects.
The tremendous growth of citizens in this age group is well known
to everyone. We, in the Town of Watertown, should be ready to
exercise our duty and privilege of being prepared to offer relax-
ation and recreation to these same people, who by their tax dol-
lars of so many years provided us with the same opportunities.

REPORT OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Watertown Library suffered this year the loss of its Head
Librarian. Miss Catharine M. Yerxa, who had administered the
Library since 1949, retired on October 1st.
Miss Yerxa's retirement is a severe loss to the Library. Her ad-
ministration had covered a particularly difficult period of chronic
personnel shortages, yet she maintained a staff of the highest
standards, and extended the service of the Library in many di-
rections.
During her years the physical plant of the Library was greatly
expanded, permitting the improvement of existing and the in-
troduction of new services. Notable changes were the introduction
of the record collection with an accompanying expansion of the
Music and Art Departments the introduction of film loans, and
the timely expansion of the Young Adult Department.
The whole town paid an impressive tribute to Miss Yerxa at
a public reception sponsored by the Friends of the Library and the
Art Association.
The Trustees wish to here record their deep sense of apprecia-
tion to Miss Yerxa for her distinguished administration of the
Library.
After posting the position with the leading library schools and
advertising in the professional journals the Trustees received
nineteen application for the vacancy created by Miss Yerxa's re-
tirement. After very careful review of the applications and many
interviews, the Trustees selected Mr. Joseph S. Hopkins, then
Director of the Meadville, Penn., Public Library and he assumed
the position on October 14. Mr. Hopkins holds a Masters Degree
from Simmons Library School and had experience at the Provi-
dence Public Library and on the faculty of Simmons in addition
to that at Meadville. He brings to Watertown, we believe, the ex-
perience and personal qualifications which will make him a head
Librarian in the Watertown tradition.
Librarians go and come, but certain problems remain with
us. The shortage of personnel, largely due to the inadequacies of
the salary schedule, is becoming critical. We are returning to the
194 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
town this year $10,000 in our salary account which results from
unfilled vacancies during the year. Two retirements at year end
will bring us to the point where services will have to be curtailed
to some degree by a reduction in hours.
CHARLES T. BURKE, Chairman
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Watertown Free Public Library:
The 96th Annual Report of the Watertown Free Public Library
is herewith submitted.
PERSONNEL
In 1963, Miss Catharine M. Yerxa, Chief Librarian for fourteen
years, retired after a distinguished career, and in October, Joseph
S. Hopkins was appointed to fill that position. Resignations con-
tinued to hamper library service. The condition was aggravated
by the library's inability to compete effectively in the recruitment
of professional ilbrarians. Two retirements at the beginning of
1964 makes the future look bleak.
Four general assistants and two professional librarians re-
signed, and one new professional position was created in the
Children's Department to alleviate its heavy work load. Replace-
ments were found for the general assistants, but a yearly effort
to recruit professional trained librarians failed. The failure has
been heavily felt by the existing staff in that they have been
called upon to cover departments outside of their training and
experience and to assume additional evening work. The result
has been a loss of productivity, efficiency and morale.
BUILDINGS
A major painting program was completed. Most of the main
library's public rooms and many of its working areas were at-
tractively brightened by new paint. The West Branch was com-
pletely repainted.
LIBRARY USE
Adult book borrowings showed a slight but steady upward
trend. An analysis by the staff, of what Watertown borrowers are
reading, indicated that prominent personalities and contemporary
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 195
events played an important role in the readers' choice. Interest
and concern with Pope John XXIII, the Ecumenical Council, Civil
Rights, and pesticides were reflected and augmented by the great
demand for books authored by Morris West, James Baldwin and
Rachel Carson. Continued favorites, high in popularity, were the
writing of J.D. Salinger, Taylor Caldwell and Samuel Eliot Mori-
son. These latter authors steadily enlisted a loyal and special
following. Salinger captured youth, Caldwell stirred the feminine
heart, and Morison recorded the memories of veterans of World
War H.
The Reference-Information Service is one of the library's
strongest assets. Public use is substantial and grows greater with
each expansion and intensificaton of our educatonal system. Fu-
ture use will accelerate.In 1963, close to 18,000 bits of information
were requested of the Information and Young Adult Departments
of the Library. Users needed such diverse items as cooking recipes
for heart patients, the Watertown Plumbing Code, a picture of
an Etruscan warrior and President Kennedy's address to the
United Nations. The library was able to accommodate all but one
percent of these requests.
Junior and Senior high school assignments continued to
plague and press the resources of the library in terms of books,
space and personnel. Efforts to alleviate this ever increasing de-
mand thru coordination with the schools have been largely in-
effectual. A Watertown School curricula handbook, soon to be
published, may provide some needed assistance and guidance.
A heavy work load and insufficient staff has limited the
ability of the Children's Department to expand, promote, and
develop valuable programs for children. Yet despite limitations,
the library service to children was impressive. Staff visits to
schools, class visits to the library, story hours, movies and sum-
mer reading clubs were maintained at a high level of effort and
response. Borrowed children's books rose better than 2�10 to a
yearly total of 156,096, more than half the library's total circula-
tion, and new registrations for children's cards climbed 22%.
Elementary school and teacher interest and participation in library
activites have been good.
The Friends of the Watertown Public Library enlarged the
library's use. They brought stimulating speakers and an appre-
ciative audience to within our walls. There varied programs in-
cluded a political cartoonist, drama critic and a Three Day Book
196 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Fair featuring Watertown authors. The Friends, in conjuction
with the Watertown Art Association, co-sponsored an outstanding
reception at the Phillips School in honor of Miss Catharine M.
Yerxa, the retiring Chief Librarian.
SPECIAL NOTE
At the beginning of 1964 the Watertown Public Library will
regretfully note the loss of three of its most experienced and
competent librarians. Miss Catharine M. Yerxa, Chief Librarian,
Mrs. Esther E. Testa, Librarian in Charge of the North Branch,
and Mrs. Ruth L. Elphick, Children's Librarian at the East Branch,
will have retired after a combined service of eighty-one years;
eighty-one years of single minded devotion to the endeavor of
presenting the world of books to the adults and children of the
Watertown community.
Miss Yerxa began her life long work at the Watertown
Public Library in 1918, leaving in 1928 for the Boston Athenaeum
and later for the Division of Public Libraries of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. She returned to Watertown in 1949 as Chief
Librarian. In her administration library facilities were modernized
and expanded and new programs instituted. Largely through her
efforts the Watertown Public Library maintained a high level
of competence and prominence noted throughout the State.
Mrs. Testa came to the library in 1930. Eight years later she
assumed charge of the North Branch at Waverly Avenue and Or-
chard Street and over the following years developed this branch
into a congenial center for questing minds of young and old.
Mrs. Elphick started her library career in 1916 at Medford,
Massachusetts, later moving to Somerville and New Jersey. She
came to Watertown in 1941. At the East Branch on Mount Auburn
Street she created and expanded a vital library program for chil-
dren which won her a loyal and faithful following. Her work
achieved regional recognition when she was selected to present
the coveted Caroline Hewins lecture, devoted to children's library
service, at the annual conference of the New England Library
Association for 1964.
The library is deeply proud of these three women, who in the
pursuit of excellence in their chosen fields, added dignity, integrity,
and human warmth in service to their community.

3. Health Regulations, state and local
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.
JULIAN FELLONI, Chairman
Mrs. Marie S. Andrews, Clerk
REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICER AND AGENT
As a new program, the Health Department conducted a di-
abetes detection program for 1963 in conjunction with National
Diabetes Week. This we hope will become a routine program to
be conducted annually.
The year 1963 terminated the oral Sabin program except for
clinics for infants. By the end of May 1963 the Health Department
had administered a record number of immunizations of oral vac-
cine. In twelve months from May 1962 to May 1963, 43,504 doses
of vaccine were given to children and adults in the Town of
Watertown. The total number of immunization and tests ad-
ministered by the Health Department for the year 1963 was 26,752.
This total is the highest in the history of the Health Department.
202 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
The Mantoux tests are relatively few in number because the
bulk of the program is scheduled for the spring of the 1963-1964
school year.
With the approval of the Board of Health, the department is
actively programming an on-going immunization clinic to be held
at regular intervals. This program would give booster doses against
those diseases wherein the level of immunity is known to have
decreased significantly. Typhoid fever, Tetanus, diphtheria and
smallpox are in this area.
During the year we were successful in recovering approximate-
ly 50% of our filing space, thereby reclaiming for reuse half of
the existing area the Health Department uses for various filing
systems. The re-arranging of the filing system for more efficient
operation is now in process.
The environmental health program is being re-organized with
more emphasis being placed on a fuller and more efficient use of
the laboratory, more extensive and intensive efforts in the areas
of pollution control, housing and more comprehensive system of
evaluating the community's general food and dairy products sup-
ply and the service establishments involved in the processing,
storage and distribution of these products.
During the year the staff of the department has been en-
couraged to take part in in-service training opportunities which
they have done with undoubted benefit to the community. These
programs have been offered through both the Massachusetts De•
partment of Public Health and the United States Department of
Health, Welfare and Education as training courses in various
institutions of higher learning in the Commonwealth and as sem-
inars and workshops in various hospitals and other treatment
facilities throughout this state.
During the year, your Health Officer has been actively work-
ing as a member of the executive committee of the Massachusetts
Health Officers Association to provide more and better in-service
training programs for local county and state public health per-
sonnel. The beginning of what is hoped to be a truly progressive
and on-going program was scheduled to start in the fall of 1963.
This involved considerable effort on the part of the Executive
Committee of the Health Officers Association, Division of Research
and training of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.

ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 209
New emphasis was employed upon the laboratory bacterio-
logical analysis of eating utensils from Watertown's eating and
drinking establishments to demonstrate to the operators the
significance of sound public health practices in this phase of
sanitation. This will be continued in 1964 along with public notice
of the results and educational classes for operators.
Concentrated efforts of Air Pollution Control surveys were
realized. This phase of environmental health warrants a high pri
ority because of a heavy industrial complex intermingled with
residential areas. Preservation of this natural resource — the
air we breathe — is vital to the health of our community and
our neighboring communities. This pollution of the atmosphere,
caused by existing or any future air contaminants, may be con-
trolled by our surveillance efforts, strict law enforcement and
public support.
Scientific research has bolstered the tools and broadened the
fields of the sanitarian. Minimum housing standards, Air Pollution
Control, modern methods of municipal refuse disposal are innova-
tion which the Board of Health and the Health Officer will ad-
ministrate for the coming year.
The appointment of an additional public health sanitarian
materialized in 1963 for the planned increase in environmental
health services for Watertown citizens.

The statistics listed under "Gas Fitting" in this report show
in brief the work involved in this position. On the average, a gas
inspection involves more time and detail than a plumbing inspec-
tion. Very briefly, appliances installed must be checked for com-
pliance with the State Gas Code and A.G.A. Listings, all piping and
appliances must be mercury tested for tightness and all piping
and connections must be properly sized for adequate fuel supply.
I believe it is needless for me to state how dangerous, and pos-
sibly disastrous, undersized piping, gas leaks, faulty appliances,
improper flues and vents and lack of sufficient air could be.
It may be of interest to note that the amount received by the
Town for plumbing permit fees represents a $432,477.70 total of
installed plumbing.
DENTAL PROGRAM
MAX ZELERMYER, A.B., D.M.D.
PHILIP D. FANTASIA, D.D.S.
JANET D. LITTLE, D.H.
LOUISE E. BICK, D.H.
The fiscal year 1963 has witnessed a normal routine program
fulfilled in the dental clinics functioning in the public and parochial
schools of Watertown. The two simultaneously operated clinics
have been compelled to make minor slight time adjustments, as
the needs indicated, to compensate for the shifts in various school
enrollments. Consequently, time allotments to some schools have
been curtailed and increased in others, in proportion to the num-
ber of children.
Conditions, this year, have been found to be noticeably im-
proved, generally speaking , in comparison with oral health found
in our school children in the immediate past several years. We,
in the dental clinics, may justifably lay claim to some of the
credit for the presence of an increased amount of dental repairs,
as well as orthodontia found manifest in the mouths of Water-
town's school children. The indicated needs could conceivably have
been overlooked in many instances and may have gone unnoticed,
were it not for the timely and systematic regular screening ex-
amination, with follow-up notifications sent home from our clinics.
As in the past, Doctors Philip Fantasia and Max Zelermyer
212 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
have alernated their duties bimonthly in the respective clinics
operated on a full-time basis by Mrs. Louise Bick and Mrs. Janet
Little. The public and parochial schools visited this year were:
Browne, Cunniff, Marshall Spring, Lowell, Hosmer, Phillips,
Coolidge, Parker, St. Patrick's and Sacred Heart Schools.
Dr. Max Zelermyer was awarded a certificate by Tufts Uni-
versity for his completion of a course in Oral Cancer during the
year and, in February, 1964, will have completed twenty-five years
of Civil Service in our clinic for the Board of Health of Watertown.

The Health Department continued its program of supervi-
sion and follow-up of reportable contagious disease cases of both
patients and contacts. Regarding tuberculosis cases during 1963,
there were four admissions to Middlesex County Sanatorium, two
re-admissions, and three discharges. One patient was transferred
from Rutland State Sanatorium to Middlesex County Sanatorium
and one patient admitted to Norfolk County Hospital. There were
ninety-six (96) persons transported to and from Middlesex County
Sanatorium.
Home visits were made to T.B. patients and contacts, as well
as various other contagious disease cases.
Trips were also made to secure supplies for the clinics which
were held during the year — to A.S. Aloe, American Laundry and
Diagnostic and Biological Laboratories.
Arranged for and assisted the Board of Health Physician at
physical examinations of 400 pupils at St. Patrick Elementary and

Daily visits, whenever possible, were made to St. Patrick
Elementary and High Schools and Sacred Heart School throungh-
out the school year, during which time the following was accom-
plished:
Screened the vision (via M.V.T.) of 151 pupils at Sacred Heart
School and 107 pupils at St. Patrick High School; sent referral
letters to parents of pupils who failed retests.

MOSQUITO CONTROL
Robert L. Armstrong, Supt. — Paul F. Murray, Commissioner
Mosquito control followed essentially the same program as
in recent years. Malathion was the principal material used on
mosquito sources, except for street catch basins. The basins were
sprayed with Dieldrin at the beginning of the Culex mosquito
season. In mid-summer fuel oil was used. It was followed with a
Baytex spray in August.
There were no mosquito complaints from Watertown in 1963.
However, after the season ended, one person reported annoyance
from mosquitoes several months ago.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
In 1963, for the first time in many years, there was no in-
crease in the tax rate. This was accomplished without a general
assessment increase. The total new valuations of both real estate
and personal property in the amount of $1,543,850.00 placed by
the Board of Assessors during the year resulted in holding the tax
rate. The Board was very pleased with this achievement and sin-
cerely hopes that this trend will continue.
The Poll Tax has now been eliminated, and the Legislature
has passed, and the Governor has signed into law a bill providing
a reduction up to $4000 on the assessed valuation of property
owned by persons 70 years of age or older subject to certain
qualfications. This in effect, reduces the amount of property sub-
ject to the local tax rate. We certainly feel that these elderly
people are justly entitled to this reduction in their property taxes.
Other sources of income will have to be sought to broaden the tax
base to offset this. The State offers no relief to us for this loss.

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
I am asking for extra funds this year for Highway main-
tenance, due to the fact that the past two years I have been un-
able to perform the amount of surface treatment that has been
the practice during -past years. In 1962 the department was with-
out a roller most of summer which is the time that this work
must be done, and due to a late start and lack of funds in 1963,
we are about a year behind in this program.
Traffic painting and signs are constantly on the increase,
which cost are paid for out of this appropriation.
Incinerator costs increased in 1963 over 1962 by an overall of
$10,000 due to more maintenance costs, which of course will in-
crease every year due to age, excessive heat and more burning.
In 1962 we incinerated 15,431 tons of refuse at a cost of $4.28
per ton. In 1963 we incinerated 17,714 tons, an increase of Z283
tons, at a cost of $4.32 per ton.
Receipts receivable in 1963 for disposal at the incinerator
from industries, contractors and others, totalled approximately
$18,500.
In a period of one month (October) due to a break in the
weather, the Highway Department constructed 600 feet of 66-inch
drain and 620 feet of 60-inch drain through Gore Estate, now
leased by Raytheon Company, at a cost of $50,000, which I esti-
mate was an approximate saving to the town of $25,000.

REPORT OF THE DOG OFFICER
The following statistics show the activities of the department
for the year of 1963.
Dogs licensed 901
Stray dogs impounded (10 days each) 96
Quarantined for 14 days 2
Dogs returned to owners 43
Number of hearings 3
Dogs sold 0
Number of investigations 103
Calls made during the year 367
The physical property used by the Dog Officers has been
maintained in excellent condition throughout the year. The pound
has been inspected periodically by the Middlesex County Dog
Officer and a representative of the Massachusetts Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and their reports have been
favorable.
The Police Department has also been fully cooperative in
getting information regarding accidents involving dogs and other
animals.
It is to be my continued endeavor to bring about the licensing
of all dogs in the town. There is still much work to be done and
with the continued help of the Town Clerks Office I hope to have
as complete a registration and licensing of dogs as is possible.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER
During the past year this department furnished lines and
grades where required in the work of the Highway Department
such as new sidewalk construction, new sewer and storm drain
construction. One survey party is kept busy on the above work.
The work of preparing plans for changes in location and
new placement of parking meters was continued as in the past.
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
of Public Works.
Each year new buildings or additions to buildings are located
directly on the ground and then plotted on original plans, kept in
this office with any new subdivisions of land. Prints of these ori-
ginal 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 feet.
This department prepared reports for the Town Counsel and
investigated eight (8) accident claims by persons asking for dam-
ages because of alleged defects on public ways.If court proceed-
ings resulted from these claims, a member of this Department
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 encroachmnt 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.
There have been numerous meetings this year of the Sewer
and Drainage Committee, Parking Meter Committee, and Traffic
Commissioner. The Town Engineer is a member of the above
Committees and attended nearly every meeting held.
SEWER AND DRAIN COMMITTEE
This department has had an ever increasing work load since
250 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
the inception of this committee five years ago. Our consultants,
Fay, Spofford & Thordike, originally did all drain supervision and
inspection of first and second phases, Hood Rubber Laundry
Brook, California Park and Rosedale Road, Saltonstall Park Area
and Acton Street.
The Town Engineering Department performed all field work
connected with these projects, including preliminary survey on
the ground and preparing plans of same. We then furnished lines
and grades for all construction performed by the various con-
tractors. Doing this work by town forces brought about a sav-
ings to the Town of thirty-five to forty thousand dollars.
Following this work a contract was let in 1961 for work on the
first part of Bemis Area System (constructed early 1963.) The En-
gineering Department then took over additional work at a savings
of about $12,000.
The committee then decided to do all work on the continuing
Bemis System with town forces. The Engineering Departmeni
in this case designed, drew plans and performed all engineering
work connected with job. Also we prepared contract plans and
specification for manhole and syphon work that could be done by
Town labor and equipment. This work is not complete but the
original proposal by Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike for all engineer-
ing services was $27,000. The Engineering Department thereby
saved approximately this amount.
Further extending the east end projects (Melendy Avenue,
Nichols Avenue, Dartmouth Street, and School Street Area) we
are new preparing plans for same. Work will probably commence
during 1964 and extend into 19-65 with this department doing
supervision and inspection. This phase will in all' probability be
let out to contract.

INSPECTIONS
PLACES OF ASSEMBLY; an annual inspection of all places of
assembly was made for the purpose of verifying proper egress,
capacity and emergency lighting according to rules and regula-
lions of the Department of Public Safety. Inspections revealed
ninety percent complies with all requirements; the other ten
percent made all necessary changes.
LODGING HOUSES: Inspections were made of all lodging houses
on application for renewal or for new license. Two violations were
corrected.
PROJECTING SIGNS: Inspections, renewal of insurance coverage,
annual renewal fees on all projecting signs have been processed.
An article for 1964 Town Meeting proposing changes on sign
requirements and regulations has been prepared. We trust the
Town Meeting will see fit to approve the proposed change.
ELEVATORS: Annual inspection of all elevators was made during
1963. The Town has seventy-two elevators; this includes three
installed during the year. The Department of Public Safety calls
for many new regulation on elevators and escalators, effective
January 1, 1964. It has been necessary to issue orders to discon-
tinue the use of four until elevators are brought up to the
standards of the new code. The owners of these elevators have
given their full cooperation.
ZONING BY-LAW: Numerous complaints and violations were
reported, and all were investigated. Immediate cooperation was
received by most violators. There were no prosecutions.
BOARD OF APPEALS: Thirty-six request for variance, occupancy
or special permits were filed with this Department.

ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 257
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
The membership of the Fire Department at the close of the
year 1963 is as follows: (1) Chief — (4) Deputy Chiefs — (4)
Captains — (9) Lieutenants — (1) Mechanician — (84) Fire-
fighters, for a total of 103 members.
The total number of alarms for the year was 1,342 a decrease
of 4 over the previous high of 1962. Of these, 1,058 were Still
Alarms and 284 were Bell Alarms. The total number of False
Alarms was 69 a decrease of 32 over the previous year. In addition
the Fire Department assisted the Police Department, responding
to 441 calls with the Ambulance.
A condensed report on Fire Losses, Values and Insurance for
the year is as follows:
Insurance
Values Losses Insurance Paid
Buildings $1,026,000.00 $127,140.46 $914,800.00 $105,640.46
Contents 413,950.00 147,722.00 384,200.00 133,971.00
Totals $1,439,950.00 $274,862.46 $1,299,000.00 $239,611.46
A point of interest here is that $108,035.00 of our loss was
for a General Alarm Fire which occurred on November 20th at
No. 416 Arsenal Street. Loss from all other fires was $166,827.46.
The total loss for the year 1963 was $78,920.40 less than that
of 1962.
Salaries
It is my recommendation that the Salaries be in accordance
with the requests made by the department members in the various
Grades and Classifications to the Personnel Board. These requests
are in line with those passed by the Massachusetts State Legis-
lature under Permissive Legislation and which I recommeded in
my report for the year 1962.
Longevity Pay
In compliance with a sense of the meeting vote taken at the
Annual Town Meeting in March of 1963, I submit and recommend
the amount of $9,500.00 as that which will be required in order to
provide Longevity Pay for all the eligible members of the Depart-
ment.
258 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
New Officers
The present ratio of officers to men in the department is
far below that of surrounding communities, and that which was
recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters in its
recent survey.
In order to insure and maintain efficiency, incentive and
morale in the operaton of the department, I recommend, that (1)
Deputy Chief; (1) Captain; and (2) Lieutenant promotions be
made from the present ranks within the department.
Radio Communications
Due to the appropriation of the 1963 Town Meeting for Radio
Communications, I am pleased to report that the Fire Depart-
ment now has a separate radio transmitter for two way communi-
cations, operating under a special and separate frequency as re-
quired by the Federal Communications System.
1 New Triple Combination Pumper
Engine No. 4 which has been out of service since October 25th,
1962 will be replaced by a new Maxim 1.000 gallon Class A Pump-
ing Engine on or about January 2, 1964.
Engine No. 2 which was delivered in 1937, has been in constant
service ever since and, as previously reported, is no longer reliable
for the Protection of life and Property. In addition, because of its
age, repairs which may be required cannot be guaranteed.
I recommend, that $28,000.00 be appropriated to replace En-
gine No. 2.
2 Cars
The Deputy Chief's car, a 1959 Chevrolet 4 door sedan, at the
present time has gone well over 100,000 miles. It is constantly
undergoing repairs and is no longer safe to operate as an emer-
gency vehicle.
The Fire Prevention Bureau has been using a 1948 Ford Panel
truck in conjunction with its program. This fifteen year old
vehicle was recently involved in an accident with an uninsured
driver causing an estimated four hundred dollars damage. Repairs
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 259
will not put this truck in good or safe operating condition and
would be a waste of money.
I recommend, the sum of $5,962.00 be appropriated to replace
these two cars.
Printing — Rules & Regulations
An efficient Fire Department requires a comprehensive set of
Rules and Regulations to guide its officers and men in the con-
duct of their duties and obligations. The present rule book was
issued and effective on May 1, 1929. Many of these rules and
regulations have long since been outmoded and do not apply to a
modern Fire Department. In order that a new set of Rules and
Regulations may be drawn up, printed and distributed to each
member of the department, I recommend, the sum of $800.00 be
appropriated.
Auxiliary Fire Department
The Auxiliary Fire Department continues to show an avid
interest in this important segment of Civil Defense, despite the
fact, that its Engine No. 5 has been in the service of the regular
fire department since October 25, 1962 replacing Engine No. 4.
Its members have assisted the regular fire department on numer-
ous occasions and I wish to extend my sincere thanks to the
officers and men of the Auxiliary Fire Department for their loyal
cooperation.
Training Program
Under the direction of our Drill Master and department
officers, all members of the department received instructions
and training in all phases of firefighting and emergency opera-
tions. Due to the importance and hazardous nature of his work,
a firefighter must be physically fit and possess certain specific
knowledge concerning the work, if he is to perform his duties
efficiently and with a minimum amount of risk to himself and
his fellow firefighters.
Our Training Program is based on a set of standard drills
and evolutions which fit our department, apparatus, building and
and special hazards. In part, the program is covered by group
lectures and the distribution of "Company Drills' to the officers to
standardize our procedure in all firefighting evolutions. The pur-
pose being, that when a man from one company or station is
detailed to another, due to manpower shortage or otherwise, he
can immediately fit in with that unit and operate as part of a
260 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
team. This program is standard procedure in many of our sur-
rounding communities and is recommended by National and State
Authorities.
Fire Prevention
The first duty of any Fire Protection Organization is the
prevention of fires. For this purpose, the Fire Prevention Bureau
has continued its comprehensive and vigorous program on a full
time basis throughtout the year. This program in part includes
the following:
1. Annual inspections of all Lodging Houses, Churches, Gas-
oline Stations, Garage and Open-Air Parking Lots.
2. Semi-annual "In-Service Inspections" of dwellings, In-
dustries, Stores, and other small Business Establishments.
3. Quarterly inspections of all Schools, Theatres, Nursing
and Convalescent Homes.
4. Investigation of and approval or dis-approval of all Li-
censes and Permits ralative to the storage, use and handling of
all inflammable and hazardous fluids, solids and gases.
5. Numerous other activities, including lectures on Fire
Prevention and Fire Protection to the owners and employees of
various business establishments; instructions to school students
under the Fire Marshall's Plan; the investigation of all complaints
which come before the Fire Prevention Bureau and assisting the
State Fire Marshall's Office, Appeals Board and other committees.
Resignation and Retirement
Ernest J. Melanson, a Veteran of World War 2, was appointed
to the department on December 30, 1942 and resigned on Decem-
ber 17, 1963.
James F. Finnegan, a Veteran of World War 2, was appointed
to the department on December 20, 1946 and retired on September
20, 1963.
To Ernie and Jim, Thank you for your many years of devoted
and loyal service and I extend our best wishes for a long, happy
and prosperous life.

GAMBLING AND VICE
All persons known to have been concerned in gaming activ-
ities in the past and all establishment likely to foster or encourage
such activities are kept under constant surveillance. In addition,
all "tips," whether anonymous or otherwise, are thoroughly in-
vestigated. Although some of these "tips' prove to unfounded or
it is impossible to gather sufficient evidence to present to the
courts,we welcome all such assistance in our constant effort to
keep the Town free of the gambling element. In 1963, the follow-
ing "gambling" cases were prosecuted in the Waltham District
Court and/or the Middlesex Superior Court:

On several occasions we found it to our advantage to request
assistance from the Department of Public Safety (State Police)
in the conduct of our gambling investigations. In each instance
such assistance was immediately forthcoming and rendered will-
ingly.
Frequent inspections were made of those establishments
selling magazines, comic books, etc., with a view to preventing
the sale or display of obscene or pornographic material. Because
of the difference of opinion as to what constitutes obscenity,
proprietors were requested to examine all material that is sent
them and not to sell or display that which might be considered
obscene. As of this writing, all proprietors are cooperating in
this effort.

JUVENILE DIVISION
During the year ending 31 December 1963 there were two
hundred and seventy-one (271) juveniles involved in more than
one complaint. It should be noted that in many instances several
several juveniles were involved in one complaint (e.g., Malicious
Destruction of Property), while on the other hand there were
cases of one juvenile being involved in multiple complaints (e.g.,
Motor Vehicle Violations). Each time a juvenile came to our at-
tention a card was filed listing his or her name and the offense
in which he or she was involved. Tabulation of these cards is

REPORT OF THE
WATERTOWN RECREATION DEPARTMENT
FUNCTIONS
The function of the Watertown Recreation Commission is to
provide a year-round recreation program 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 development of
new intersests and skills; education for safe and healthful living:
constructive use of leisure time; opportunities for self-expres-
sion and relaxation; and contribution toward character growth,
social adjustment and good citizenship — these objectives of the
Commission are aimed in providing a variety of activities for all
ages within the four distinct seasons of the year.
"The right to choose one's pursuits in one's
own free time is democracy's Fifth Freedom."
PERSONNEL
All employees of the Recreation Commission, excepting the
Recreation Director and Secretary are part-time employees. Part-
time employees are hired to instruct and supervise various pro-
grams during the four seasons of the year.
The large number of part-time employes hired during the
year is necessary as it also involves the use of custodians, secre-
taries, and various school personnel. Summer personnel also adds
to the total as it involves mainly college students who work
summers only.
All prospective employes are required to fill out application
forms, making note of their previous experience and education.
This insures the citizenry a recreation program that will provide
for every one the best and most satisfying use of his leisure time.
During the year 1963 a two-day training program was pro-
vided for summer playground employees.
PROPERTIES
The 1963 year-round recreation programs were superivsed
on the following properties: 12 playgrounds — 7 tot-lots — 12
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 283
school buildings including St. Patrick's — Boston YWCA —
Newton YMCA — Cambridge YWCA — MDC Pool —Boston
Skating Club — Oakley Country Club — Wal-lex Rollerway —
Randy's Bowl-a-Way — Riverside Bowling Lanes — and Sammy
White's Bowl.
Summer playground trips to Pleasure Island — Longwood
Tennis Club —Historical Exucrsions in Watertown — Picnics at
Storrow Drive MDC play area — Boatrides on Charles River —
Sammy White's Bowl — and the Wal-Lex Roll-a-Way.
EQUIPMENT LOANED
For the year 1963 twenty-nine (29) organizations were loaned
game equipment from the Recreation department. This service
is growing each year as 1962 listed fourteen (14) organizations.
PROGRAM
The Recreation Commission sponsored a variety of 70 dif-
ferent group activities during the year, as opposed to the 1962
total of sixty-four (64). I am happy to report that the overall suc-
cess of the 1963 program was indicated by the fine attendance
which increased in a number of activities over the previous year.
Few activities were cancelled due to lack of interest.

ATTENDANCE, 1963
The five year comparative figures will show differentials,
either way, which are primarily due to weather conditions over a
284 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
12 month period, favorable or unfavorable for outdoor sponsored
recreation activities. Even with increased activities in 1963 weather
condtions, particularly the hot humid summer, were instrumental
In showing a drop in attendance from the previous 1962 figures.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS, 1963
Probably the most gratifying and successful program in-
novation occurred during the summer months when the children
were provided an all day special event including: an Historical
Tour of Watertown, a picnic on the Charles River Play Area
following the popular one hour and fifteen minute boat ride into
Boston Harbor and back. A total of nine (9) trips were made in-
volving almost 500 Watertown boys and girls between the ages
of 8-14. In addition, each boy and girl received a very colorful
Historical Map of Watertown.
The promotion of an Adult Tennis Association of 50 men and
women certainly proved an enjoyable and benficial group activity
throughout the summer months. The registered members met two
evenings a week at the Victory Field Courts during the entire
summer. Instruction on Tennis fundamentals, court supervision,
tournament play maintained a very enthusiastic group through
out the entire outdoor tennis season.
In addition to the promotion of the Adult Tennis Association,
the Recreation Department's first Indoor Tennis Clinic, scheduled
over a six week period last Spring encountered many fine praises.
This program was successful and instrumental in the formation
of the popular Adult Tennis Association.
Another highlight for 1963 occurred last winter when a new
Ten-Pin Bowling program for boys and girls at the senior high
school level operated very smoothly for a ten (10) week period.
Three afternoons a week a bus would transport forty to fifty
highschool students to and from Allston. Transportation was
provided by the bowling alley at no cost to the Recreation De-
partment. 1964 will again, we hope, develop even greater en-
thusiasm on this program.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 285
The annual playground Field Day returned to Saltonstall Park
following an absence of eight years. The day's events were en-
joyed by approxmately 2,200 children and parents and climaxed
another successful recreation summer program.
The annual Fourth of July Celebration, even though the fire-
works display was cancelled, saw over-all estimated 30,000 persons
enjoy the day's events. The afternoon visit to Victory Field by
"Rex Trailer" and his caravan was just one of the many high-
lights. Commendations are necessary for the magnificent program
and fine work performed by the Watertown American Legion
Organization in conducting the entire day's events.
The department's indoor iceskating program initiated the
sale of season tickets where four hundred 400) tickets were
sold at a premium price; $2.00 covering the new ten (10) week
program. Individual tickets were sold at the usual 350 per unit.
The prevous fifteen (15) week program was reduced to ten (10)
because of a previous six year loss of between $800 and $1.100
each year. With the cancellation of the five (5) sessions usually
held in February and the innovation of the sale of season tickets,
the new ten (10) week program is now self supporting and the
attendance each week has surpassed the fifteen session program.
This important program adjustment was approved following heavy
consideration of facts submitted in a six page survey covering
the period between 1957 and 1962.
Miss Patricia Vahey ,well-known for her accomplishments
in the art of Baton Twirling, is instructing the new recreation
Baton Twirling program which started during the month of
October. This program registered *one hundred (100) girls from
grade four up thru grade twelve. The program will cover a 25
week period, meeting each Saturday between the hours of 9 to
12 a.m. There are three classes of instruction for beginners, inter-
mediates, and advanced. Plans for public performances and uni-
forms are already in progress due to the unexpected continual
enthusiasm and interest by all girls participating in the program.
PROGRESS
Progressive steps taken by the Recreation Commission during
the year 1963. were as follows:
I. The year-round recreation program was expanded.
2. Additional equipment & supplies purchased to meet our
needs.
286 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
3. Permanent office space secured in Administration build-
ing to improve administrative procedures and responsibilities
necessary in attaining a well-functioned program and department-
al operations.
4. Permanent storage facilities for all supplies and equipment
was secured on ground level at the Browne School. This will bene-
fit the department greatly during the summer months when sup-
plies and equipment are distributed to the various playgrounds,
in addition to attaining efficient inventory control of all supplies.
5. Closer supervision of all activities assuring the citizens
of the town a safe and enjoyable year-round recreation program.
6. Training programs for the staff helping to make for better
organized and safer activities.
7. Additional office and program equipment proved beneficial
for better departmental operations.
8. Three new events were added to the summer playground
program.
9.The new summer program position of Arts and Crafts
Supervisor will provide an improved summer Crafts program for
future years.
10. The Recreation Department is affiliated with the National
Recreation Association. This provides the department with materi-
als and information regarding movements, progress and new
programs taking place throughout the country.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following steps are recommended:
1. The year-round program for 1964 be further expanded.
2. Development of a girls year-round program beyond the
present scope of activity.
3. Evaluation of the condition and rate of progress of the
department.
4. Expanding the volume of equipment to meet*the needs.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 287
5. Streamlining operations of the department in such a way
that all functions of the department are properly scrutinized and
evaluated.
6. Research, studies, surveys, evaluations and reports be
made concerning areas and facilities, program, publicity and
public relations and other phases of departmental operations.
7. That the publicity and public relations program be expand-
ed and various medias of communication be used to inform and
educate the public.
8. That the Summer playground salaries be increased and an
additional week be approved to extend the present eight week
program to nine.

REPORT OF THE
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION DEPARTMENT
The total number of accidents to employees and reported by
the various Town Departments amounted to 134 an increase of
35 reported in 1962. The majority of these cases required just
medical expenses. There were medical expenses and disability
payments in 30 of these cases.
At the end of 1963 we were carrying 12 cases of which one
we have had since 1953, two since 1958, one since 1960, two since
1962 and six since 1963.
There is one case pending before the Industrial Accident Board
of which we are not now making any payments.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the chairman and members of Watertown School Commit-
tee I have the honor to submit herewith my twenty-fifth annual
report of the Schools of Watertown which is the eighty-third in
a series of annual reports of the Superintendent of the Watertown
Public Schools.
BIBLE READING AND RECITATION OF LORD'S PRAYER
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
On June 19, 1963 a letter was received from the office of the
Department of Education for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
stating that the United States Supreme Court had made a final
determination in the two cases, namely, Murray VS. Curlett( Mary-
land) and Abington Township School District VS. Schempp, which
held that the recitation of the Lord's Prayer and the reading of
the Bible for devotional and religious purposes in the public
schools is unconstitutional.
And further advised that since the decision of the United
States Supreme Court is the law of the land, the Lord's Prayer
may not be recited nor may there be a reading of the Bible for
devotional or religious purposes in the public schools.
RESOLUTION
On July 23, 1963 your school Committee unanimously adopted
the following resolution copies of which were sent to all the
members of the Congress of the United States.
294 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
WATERTOWN MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL CONIVixi-t'r:r;
Whereas the framers of the constitution of the United States
of America were God Loving and God Fearing men who created
the most nearly perfect instrument by which people may govern
themselves;
And Whereas our founding fathers in the Declaration of
Independence by their references to "Nature's God," "Creator"
and "Divine Providence" clearly indicated their belief that this
nation's foundation and survival were dependent upon the will
of a Supreme Being whose intercession could be obtained by
prayer;
And Whereas every Congress, by its legislative actions has
asserted a belief in the presence and infuence of a Supreme Being;
And Now Whereas the Supreme Court of the United States
has decreed that prayer and/or the reading of sacred scripture may
not be a part of a public school exercise, ceremony, activity or
assembly;
Therefore be it resolved that, we, the members of the Water.
town Massachusetts School Committee in session assembled on
on July 23, 1963, go on record as requesting the Congress of the
United States of American to so amend the constitution of the
United States to allow the reading of sacred scripture in public
schools and to create for recitation in public Schools a fitting
sprayer calling upon that assistance of God without offending
or intruding upon the religious beliefs of any individuals.
MEDITATI E SILENCE
In reply to one of several questions from Owen B. Kiernan,
Commissioner of Education for the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts Edward W. Brooke, Attorney General gave the following
opinion.
Question: "Is it legal for a teacher to announce at the begin-
ning of school classes in the morning that there will be a moment
of `meditative silence' or a moment of `reverent silence.' "
Attorney General Brooke opinion:
"It is perfectly clear that a moment of meditation amounts
neither to a state endorsement of any form of religion or deity
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 295
nor state prohibition of any matter of conscience. A principal
function of secular education is to encourage students to reflect
upon problems of serious moment. A pause during the school
day for the purpose of encouraging serious thought is entirely
consistent with the function of the state in education, and there-
fore would permissible."
Your School Committee unanimously approved the following
regulation effective as of September 1, 1963.
VOTED: "As each day begins the teacher will call the class
to order and then allow a minute of `meditative' or `reverent'
silence during which the student follows the interest of his own
mind in regard to prayer, meditation or spiritual devotion."
BUSINESS MACHINES
The demand for keypunch operators in the Boston area has
been rapidly increasing, and in the Business Education Depart-
ment, we are anxious to serve the community in training students
to fill the jobs that are available. Therefore, we have added to
our office machines room the IBM Printing Card Punch Machine
and are giving the business-course students an opportunity to
learn about the operation of this machine.
This opens a new field of employment, offering excellent
salary and advancement opportunities. There are jobs in banks,
department stores, government agencies, insurance companies,
manufacturing concerns, and in many other businesses for young
people with this type of training.
The IBM Card Punch is an all-electric machine used for re-
cording information on IBM cards. These cards are fed auto-
matically into the machine. The operator, reading information,
registers it on a keyboard and the machine records the informa-
tion on to a card in the form of holes representing letters and
numbers. These cards are later used on other machines which
automatically perform such operations as sorting, calculating and
printing of payrolls, invoices, checks, and many other documents.
The keyboard is run by touch, and it takes time and practice
to become an efficient operator. Students must 'be extremely ac-
curate in order to become successful at this type of work. It order
to give more students an opportunity to learn the touch system
of fingering for the IBM machine, we have purchased five Selectric
typewriters. These typewriters may be used as regular type-
296 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
writers, but they have the 'keypunch figures on one side of the
keyboard. This gives the students an opportunity to learn the
keyboard touch system of fingering and to develop skill in this
part of the operation.
In the junior and senior years, students taking the Business
Course are required to take Office Machines, and the operation
of the IBM Printing Card Punch machine is part of the course.
This year, too, we have added to our Machines Course two
new voice-writing machines. These machines are used exten-
sively by the businessman in recording his dictation. Students are
taught to transcribe from these recordings.
Three of our business teachers, Mr. George Yankowski, Miss
Helen Lordan, and Miss Elizabeth Desmond, Business Education
Department Head, have taken a training course offered to teachers
by the IBM Corporation. The course included the concepts of data
processing, familiarizing the teachers with this process as it
is used in today's business world.
MODERN MATHEMATICS
During the school year 1962-63 courses in modern mathematics
were introduced in our junior high schools following the adoption
which had already begun in our Senior High School.
To help interested parents understand these new methods in
mathematics a course was given at the Evening High School.
The classes were well attended and the course will be offered
again next year.
I have appointed a committee of teachers under the Chairman.
ship of Mr. William Corbett, Principal of the Lowell School, to
study, investigate and recommend on the advisability of introduc-
ing the new mathematics in the Elementary Schools.
The members of this Committee have already taken courses
in the teaching of modern mathematics and each one has an ex-
cellent background in the field of mathematics and science.
The Committee: Mr. William Corbett, Chairman
Miss Catherine Tobin, Grade VI, Hosmer School
Miss Mary Keenan, Grade III, Hosmer School
Mrs. Norma Fahey, Grade III, Lowell School
Mrs. Marjorie Scully, Grade V, Lowell School
Mrs. Esther R. Hayes, Grade V, Parker School

Comments on Doctorates Received by Watertown High School
Graduates 1957-1962.
1. The Office of Scientific Personnel of the National Academy
of Sciences-National Research Council — has been keeping a file
of the people receiving third-level research degrees (not MD, DDS,
or DVM) from United States universities. They have sent lists of
those receiving doctorates since 1957 to the high school from which
they graduated.
2. The National research Council feels that the choice of an
eventual field of specialization is, to a great extent, dependent
upon an individual's high school experiences. These would include
courses available, courses taken, and grades earned. Also influ-
ential in many way are counselors and teachers, parents and fel-
low-students, as well as factors undoubtedly obscure and fre-
quently not apparent even to the students making the decisions.
All of "these influences may profoundly affect both the proportion
of students entering higher education and advanced training, and
the directions of their later academic endeavors."
3. The Council has been interested in knowing more about the
"high-producing sources of these doctorate-holders," and hence
has sought "information with respect to the community in which
the school is located, and about the school itself."
4. From these studies the relative rank of high schools pro-
ducing doctorate recipients within each state and among the top
one thousand in the United States has been computed, According
to the findings, Watertown High School ranks 22 among Massa-
chusetts High School and 363 among the High Schools of the
United States. These rankings are within the top 10 percent for
each category.

1. The follow-up survey was undertaken by means of a letter
and one-page questionnaire mailed to all who graduated in June
of 1962. Postcard reminders were also sent as well as telephone
calls made to those not replying in a few weeks. The survey was
started and completed approximately one year following gradua.
tion. This lapse of time after graduation has the advantage of
allowing for some crystallization of values in regard to future
plans.
2. The percentage of graduates reporting and included in the
tabulations was 96.3 per cent of those graduating. This is two
per cent less than those last year, but still considered a very high
percentage of returns for a study of this kind.
3. The percentage of graduates continuing post-secondary edu.
cation is above 50 percent for the first time in the 24 years in
ANNUAL REPORTS - 1963 309
which the surveys have been made. For the previous eight years
the percentage has been above 40, and this year reached 50.3,
3.4 per cent above the previous year.
4. Those continuing post-secondary education include 82 per
cent of College Preparatory graduates, nearly 29 per cent of
Business and nearly 4 per cent of Industrial Arts curriculum
graduates.
5. Of the 184 graduates continuing their education, 58.7 per
cent are attending four-year degree granting coleges or univer-
sities as follows: Libreral Arts 20.6 per cent, Teacher Training
15.3 per cent, Engineering 9.8 per cent, Business Administration
8.2 per cent, Music, Nursing and Pharmacy 1.1 per cent each,, and
miscellaneous 1.5 per cent.
6. The remaining 41.3 per cent of those continuing their edu-
cation were attending schools and colleges below the degree grant-
ing level as follows: Business and Secretarial 14.7 per cent,
Junior College 8.7 per cent, Technological 6.0 pr cent, Preparatory
School 6.0 per cent, Nurses Training 4.3 per cent, and miscel-
laneous 1.6 per cent.
7. Of those attending four-year degree granting colleges and
universities 74 per cent are attending within the Boston area, an
additional 13 per cent within Massachusetts but beyond the im-
mediate Boston area, 3 per cent in another New England state,
and 11 per cent outside of New England.
8. The Massachusetts Department of Education conducts peri-
odic studies, usually at two year intervals, into the number and
percentage of public school graduates continuing education beyond
high school. A comparison of the Watertown graduates of the
Class of '62 with the most recent State study, public school gradu-
ates table for '60, shows a striking similarity of percentages.

9. The number regularly employed, including those in military
service and girls married, is equal to a little less than one half
of the graduates. Included among these are 77.7 percent from
the Business curriculum graduates, 74.9 percent the Industrial
Arts, 63.8 per cent General, and 16.7 per cent College Preparatory.
10. The Business and Industrial Arts curricula are geared
toward vocational training and are generally terminal in na-
ture. The General curriculum may be vocational or academic,
or a combination of each, and the College Preparatory is largely
academic. The percentages regularly employed noted in paragraph
number 9 above and attending school or college in number 4
indicate that each curriculum is generally meeting the needs for
which it was intended. Of the College Preparatory graduates regu.
larly employed, many indicated that the employment was
temporary, until sufficient money could be acquired for college.
11. The graduates regularly employed, excluding those in
Military Service, were distributed as follows: 48 percent working
in Watertown, 35 per cent in communities contiguous to Water-
town, and 17 per cent in Boston.
12. The mean weekly salary reported was $65.77, $2.19 higher
than reported the year before and $7.57 than reported five years
ago. 5.8 per cent reported salaries under $50. per week, 22.8 per
cent salaries between $50. and $59., 36 per cent between $60. and
$69., 21.8 per cent between $70. and $79., and 13.6 per cent $80. and
above.
13. The percentage of graduates reported as married within
one year of high school graduation were all girls and represent
the smallest percentage of married graduates in the past five years.

1. The term drop-out refers to students who withdraw from
school before completion of year and who do not attend else-
where. Those withdrawing to attend another school are called
transfers and are not counted as drop-outs.
2. The percentage of drop-outs for the year 196Z-63 in the
Watertown grades 9-12 is 1.9 per cent of the total membership of
these grades. This percentage is .6 of one percent higher than
for the previous year, due largely to the increase in grades 9 and
10.
3. The greatest attrition occured again in Grade 11, in which
grade were 2 out of 5 of those who dropped out. Although this
is the grade where the largest number of drop-outs generally
occur, the percentage this year was lower than the previous year.
4. If the drop-out rate for '62263 should remain relatively
constant for the next three years, it would indicate that Water-
town was retaining in school to graduate slightly more than 9
out of 10 of the students entering in Grade 9. This is deduced by
multiplying this year's drop-out percentage of 1.9 by 4, the number
of years covered in Grades 9-12, producing an overall four year
drop-out rate of 7.6 per cent and a retaining rate of 93.4 per cent.
5. The percentage of drop-outs for the past four year, including
the '62263 figures, were 1.9, 1.3, 2.2, and 2.5 respectively, a total
of 7.9 per cent. From this we can conclude that during the past
316 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
four years Watertown has graduated approximately 93.1 per cent
of the students entering Grade 9. It must be borne in mind that
each year a number of students transfer to other schools and enter
from other schools. The number involved each year approximately
balance each other.
6. The annual percentage of Watertown drop-outs is well be-
low the average for the State, an indication of the retaining power
of the Watertown schools.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 317
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
TO THE CITIZENS OF WATER.TOWN:
The Annual Report of the Board of Selectmen for the year
ending December 31, 1963, is submitted to the citizens of Water-
town with pride and pleasure.
In March of 1963, John A. Ryan was elected to the Board for
a three year term. Pasquale Sclafani was re-elected Chairman, and
John A. Ryan elected Clerk for the year 1963 — 1964.
The Board appointed H. Edward Santarpio as Town Counsel
and Philip F. Grogan as Assistant Town Counsel. Edward W.
Hagar was appointed Administrative Assistant to the Board and
began his duties September 16, 1963. Miss Rita M. Powers was
appointed Confidential Secretary to the Board effective July 29,
1963 to replace Miss Patricia Gondon who resigned to get married.
John J. Mantenuto's resignation as Confidential Clerk to the
Board was regretfully accepted. He was efficient and faithful.
The tax rate was stabilized for the first time in many years
and efforts are being made to maintain this stabilization.
The Town Report Committee appointed by the Moderator
at the 1962 Annual Town Meeting has made several suggestions
designed to reduce the size of the Annual Town Report and as a
result a new format for departmental reporting is being developed.
The first stage is accomplished this year by decreasing in the
report the content of the material submitted to the Board. We
commend all concerned for their efforts in this matter.
Full reports are on file at the Town Clerk's Office. Introductory
and ackowledgement statements have been eliminated, as has all
personal matter. In the interest of brevity, clarity and cost reduc-
tion reporting units concur that insofar as conditions admit con-
sistency and uniformity of presentation should prevail.
As pointed out in the the Building Inspector's report, the
estimated cost of 1963 construction in Town, including new
construction, extensions, and alterations was $3,632,050.00. This
figure represents a substantial fifty-three percent increase over
1962's total of $2,365,390.00.
318 TOWN OF WATERTOWN
Public Welfare Director Joseph A. Murray has completed
twenty-five years in this department and has filed a rather com-
prehensive progress report which may be of interest to many.
His complete report is on file at the office of the Town Clerk.
On December 31, 1963, Assistant Superintendent of Highways,
E. Harold Johnston, retired. Better know as "Jazz," his retire-
ment culminated a record of faithful service to the Town of ap-
proximately forty-two years.
The short period of three and one- half months that the Ad-
ministrative Assistant has been working with us has shown a
reduction in agenda items and in improved public relations be-
tween industry and the Town.
Increasing responsibility and authority in adminstrative and
personnel areas should result in better service for the citizens of
the Town.
On March 5, 1963, former Town Meeting Member John J. York
passed away at the age of forty-six.
On November 21, 1963, Dr. Robert S. York, lifelong Water-
town resident, active in town affairs, passed away at age sixty-
six.
Two of the great leaders of our time also departed this life in
1963: President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by a sniper's
bullet on November 22nd at the age of forty-six, and Pope John
XXIII passed away on June 3rd at age eighty-two.
We regret the passing of these persons.
After several conferences with our Highway and Engineer-
ing Departments, the Board decided to have our own employees
design and install the drainage system at Gore Place. In making
this decision, the Board took into consideration our employee
capabilities and our equipment inventory. We are proud to state
that this decision resulted in significant savings and gave us added
confidence in our Highway and Engineering personnel. We are
proud of them and the result thus far. Additional savings are ex-
pected when the work is completed in 1964.
The Board of Selectmen held regular meetings every Monday
beginning at 3:00 P.M., with many special meetings in between
as business warranted.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 319
As is the case in all town departments, the Board is busier
each year than the year preceding. However, it has already been
demonstrated that the employment of a full-time administrative
assistant allows the Board more time to deliberate on important
matters.
It has been said many times but cannot be stressed too strong-
ly that the Town is fortunate to have many able public- spirited
citizens who serve so well on the various appointed committees
for no remuneration. The Board is proud to state that due in
great measure to the efforts of such civic minded citizens the
Town tries to provide maximum service at minimum cost. The
Board is very appreciative of these persons and takes pride in
our combined aims toward progress in this direction.
Our continued efforts will be directed toward a sound and
reasonable financial policy based on community resources.
We thank you all for your cooperation in helping to make
Watertown an increasingly enjoyable place in which to live.

ORGANIZATION
The first meeting of the Board was held on June 6, 1963, at
the Town Hall. The Board organized by electing Selectman Philip
Pane as Chairman and Edward Reardon as Secretary. Richard E.
Mastrangelo was appointed to serve as Clerk with compensation
to be paid from the Personnel Board Contingent Account.
COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY
On June 27, 1963 the Board met with representatives of several
firms who had submitted bids for a professional wage and salary
survey as authorized by the 1963 Annual Town Meeting. Follow-
ing deliberaton, the Board voted to accept the proposal and con-
tract of Charles M. Evans and Associates of Boston. The project
began during the summer and the consultants began to file their
findings with the Board in September.
ANNUAL REPORTS — 1963 321
The Board devoted the months of September through December
to the hearing of employee requests for changes on Chapter 10
and to meetings to act on progress reports on our consultants' study
of duties of positions which are classified in Chapter 10 as well as
the compensation of employees occupying these positions.
Employee requests for changes, which under Section 15 of
Chapter 10 must be heard by the Board if they are to take the form
of Town Meeting articles, were heard in October.
Two tentative revisions of the salary and wage schedules in
Chapter 10 were prepared by the consultants in November to assist
the Board in its determination of the pay policy which it would
recommend for 1964. The first of these was predicated on the
probable increase in significant price indices by March 1, 1964, in
comparison with early 1963. The second encompassed the pattern
of employee requests which the Board heard in October.
It became apparent that to grant the increases which would
result from the latter schedule would place too great an impact on
the 1964 tax levy. On the other hand, despite the fact that com-
parative information indicates that Watertown's present salary
and wage rates are very competitive with other communities in
the Boston Metropolitan Area and with private employment, the
Board agreed that 1964 increases should be greater than the in-
crease in living costs alone in order to maintain our competitive
position.
The consultants were instructed, therefore, to prepare a
schedule which would increase personal services in 1964 not over
an amount predetermined by the Board. The resulting schedules in
general grant employees a 4010 increase over the median rate for
their classifications computed from 1963 schedules for communities
considered comparable to Watertown with respect to significant
fiscal indices.
The Board spent a month in weekly meetings with the consult-
ants reviewing their findings and recommendations. A few ad-
justments were made agreed upon by both the board and the
consultants.
Re-hearings were then held early in January. The schedules
which the Board supports are those which appear in the proposed
revision of Chapter 10.
The preparation of a salary and wage plan which is equit-
able is difficult under any circumstances. The Board feels that
322 TOWN OF WATERTOW`'
its recommendations treat all groups of town employees fairly
by applying the same standards and criteria in arriving at the
rates proposed. The equity which we feel that we have built into
the plan can be destroyed by preferred treatment to any one group
of employees.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations of the Personnel Board have been drafted
in form of articles for the 1964 Annual Town Meeting Warrant,
and appear in that Warrant as Article 8.
The chairman wishes to thank the members of the Personnel
Board for their faithful attendance and the earnest discharge of
their duties. As has been stated previously in reports of the Per-
sonnel Board, the task of the Board is a most difficult one. The
members of the Board have considered the problems of effective
and equitable administration of the salary and wage by-law.
The Board has considered at great length the recommenda•
tions of the professional consultant. They have considered these
recommendations carefully,and they commend it to the citizens of
the Town for their approval.
PHILIP PANE
Chairman
VOTED: That the Report of the Chairman be adopted and
is the Report of the Personnel Board.

AUDITOR'S REPORT
I herewith present the Annual Report of the Financial Trans-
actions of the Town of Watertown for the year ended December
31, 1963.
The various funds in the hands of the Town Treasurer, in-
cluding those of the Trustees of the Free Public Library have been
examined and found correct.
I have verified the cash in the hands of both the Town
Treasurer and Collector of Taxes.
During the year I have made* periodic examinations of the
Collector's outstanding accounts and I have found them in agree.
ment with the controls in my office.
The balance in the Excess and Deficiency account at the close
of business for the year 1963 is in the amount of $409,427.63. It
is to be noted that this figure at the close of business last year was
in the amount of $510,671.17.
The outstanding debt of the Town of Watertown as of December

ized an additional of $370,000.00 for Sewer and Drainage.
To my staff in particular, I wish to express my appreciation
for a job well done. I also wish to thank the members of all
departments for their excellent cooperation during the year.
