Clothing has been given the mothers for the babies, where needed, and was much appreciated. Booklets on care of infants and diet lists are distributed free of charge. The Welfare and School work is so closely allied that at some time during the year the nurse has an op. portunity to get in touch with most of the mothers and transmit help- ful advice and suggestions.
SCHOOL NURSING
The work in the schools was performed, as formerly, under the supervision of the Board of Health and with the cooperation of the School Department. Each school is visited twice a week, classroom inspection and examination of pupils carried on. Children requiring a diagnosis are referred to the school physician or sent to the office of the Board of Health. Children who have a regular family physician are requested to consult the same, and those absent from school on account of illness are visited in the homes, unless it is known that they are getting medical attention. In the past year there has been a marked decrease in the contagious skin diseases. and very few pupils have had to be excluded. Examinations show marked improvement in the care of the teeth. This is somewhat due to the frequent reminding of the children at the regular examinations of the necessity for dental work, and also through the splendid services provided by the Page Dental Clinic at the Melrose Hospital. With the written consent of the parent, ether is administered for painful extractions.
In closing I wish to acknowledge my appreciation for the hearty cooperation I have met in the performance of my duties.
SUMMER HEALTH AND PLAY SCHOOL
The third season of the Summer Health and Play School was held during the summer of 1922 for a period of six weeks. Fortunately the School Board again generously permitted the use of the High School lunchroom for preparing and serving the meals, a room in the Sewall School, and the playground. This location has many advantages, be- ing accessible for children from all localities, conspicuously situated,

with plenty of shade for rest and ample space for play. The central location gives the public an opportunity to become acquainted with the work that is being done. Prominent citizens and representatives from the various organizations who so generously supported the school, visited from time to time, and with their hearty interest and approval, encouraged the workers to greater enthusiasmn. This year a public-spirited citizen gave the school a generous amount to yur- chase games and play apparatus, for which we are truly very grateful.
The general routine of the school was much the same as in previ- ous years. An effort has been made each summer to select children who have been exposed to tuberculous infection and those who are under par, anemic, badly nourished and underweight. Many lack the proper food and care at home, as the mothers work through the day. The school opened July 5th with an enrollment of 57 pupils, 34 girls and 23 boys, ranging in age from six to twelve years. They came from all parts of the city, and represented all our local nationalities.
All the children were examined upon entrance and at the time of discharge, and all of them were under thorough nursing supervision and inspection daily. A careful outlook was kept for the epidemic diseases and every effort was made to teach cleanliness, hygiene and satisfactory food habits. Each child was weighel and measured upon entrance and weekly thereafter. A chart was kept and the gain noted with interest both by teachers and pupils, and on closing a letter was sent to the parents stating the child's improvement and urging that the work be continued at home.
The attendance was remarkable, the teachers insisting upon this. Only one-half day was lost on account of rain. School assembled at nine o'clock and the program for the day opened in the usual way, after which came games, reading, story-telling, sewing, etc. A lunch of milk and cookies was provided at ten o'clock, a hot dinner at twelve, and milk again at three, after which the children were dismissed for the day. After the noon-day meal a rest hour followed, cots being set up out-of-doors in the shade, and each child being given a blanket if needed. This is considered a vital part of the health programı, as most children do not get enough rest through the day. The habit of sleep was readily acquired, however. The boys and girls were taught to wash before meals and clean their teeth afterwards, toothbrushes being provided free of charge.
The weekly menu varied little, with the exception of an occa- sional treat of ice cream. The largest gain in weight was five pounds, all of the children making some gain, however.

The Honorable, The Board of Aldermen,
Gentlemen :-
We submit herewith our report of the Sinking Funds for the financial year ending December 31, 1922.
During the past year the city has lost a very valuable member of the Board in the death of Everett L. Fuller, who has been a faith- ful and helpful member since January 1909.
His advice and counsel contributed largely to the excellent con- ditions of the Sinking Funds at the present time.
Yours respectfully,

January 17, 1923.

Report of Planning Board
To the Honorable, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Melrose:
The Planning Board submits the following report for the year end- ing December 31, 1922:
We have held twelve meetings, with an average attendance of six out of the nine members comprising the Board; but one of these nine has been abroad throughout the year and another, by reason of business engagements, has been able to attend only a single meeting.
We have considered the establishment of set-back lines along Main Street through its business section; acquisition of land for parking space back of the City Hall and Memorial Building; improvement of the northerly side of Sylvan Street, between Main Street and Lebanon Street; establishing one or more municipal forests; the problem of eliminating "shacks" and the remodeling of City Hall.
We have communicated with certain influential citizens of Saugus with a view to co-operation in preventing "shacks" near the Melrose- Saugus line on Upham Street.
We have considered the abolition of duplication in the names of streets, courts and places, and have submitted to the Mayor and Alder- men a report thereon which is hereto appended. In this connection we have considered street names for future adoption with a view to per- petuating the names both of former mayors of the City and of persons who have been intimately connected with its history, and also names designed to remind us of significant events in our country's history. We have submitted to the Mayor and Aldermen a list of such names, which list is hereto appended.
The greater portion of our time has been given to the difficult task of framing a zoning ordinance and to preparing a map showing the zone-districts to be established by such ordinance. As incidental to this, on May 10 five out of the nine members of our Board joined in a tour of the City. We have already submitted to the Mayor and Alder- men a proposed zoning ordinance, a copy of which is hereto appended; and we herewith submit a map to accompany the same. This map is in four colors and we desired to have it printed and bound with this report. We believe that would have been of assistance to the special committee on zoning, to the Board of Aldermen and to citizens inter- ested in zoning our city; but the Board of Aldermen has not seen fit to allow us the $130.00 recommended by the Mayor, which it would cost to print this map, and it is therefore necessarily omitted from our printed report.
246
CITY OF MELROSE
The law requires the City of Melrose to maintain a Planning Board; and requires that Board to make annual reports. The members of our Board feel that so long as they remain members they should endeavor to serve the City according to the spirit of the law. This means that they devote a large amount of time to their board duties. They endeavor to make their recommendations practicable. Would it not be a courtesy to them, and an act of wisdom, if those committees of the Board of Aldermen, to which are referred recommendations of the Planning Board, should invite the Planning Board, or representatives of it, to appear before them prior to passing upon such recommenda- tions ?
We repeat last year's report that the point where Lynn Fells Park- way passes under the railroad tracks between Tremont Street and Vinton Street is a point of danger without sufficient marking. We suggest that the danger might be lessened if the Metropolitan District Commission could be prevailed upon to place lights under the railroad tracks at this point.
We have been pleased to see that signboards have been placed near the City line along certain highways, indicating their point of entrance into Melrose. We wish, however, that these signboards might be of a more worthy quality.
We regret that the billboard ordinance which we recommended last year, or a substitute for it has not been enacted by the Board of Aldermen. We wish that billboards might be permitted only for pub- lic convenience, not for private profit; but in absence of legal author- ity to so restrict them we hope for their strict regulation.
We have noticed the marked and increasing congestion of Main Street through its business section, during rush periods; the number of automobiles parked along the sides of this street at such periods in- dicates that this section of the street will some time have to be widened. We therefore suggest that you consider the practicability of establishing set-back building lines so that present buildings be not increased in height or new buildings erected along this section of Main Street except they be set back a distance sufficient to minimize the in- evitably great expense of ultimately widening the street. As a part of the same problem we ask you to consider whether it inay not ultimately be more economical for the City to meet the increasing need of parking space along this street by acquiring the land in the rear of the City Hall and Memorial Building for public parking purposes.
We have referred to the improvement of Sylvan Street. We are aware that the Cemetery Trustees wisely proposed that the main en- trance to Wyoming Cemetery shall be by the way of Lebanon Street. Yet we feel that with the passage of years persons having to resort
247
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
to the cemetery, especially by street-cars, will increasingly approach it from Main Street by the way of Sylvan Street. For this reason we believe that so much of Sylvan Street as lies between Main Street and the westerly line of the cemetery should be made as attractive as possible. Whatever the way of entrance, one who looks north from the cemetery, especially after the leaves have fallen, finds it difficult to reconcile oneself to the unkempt appearance of the hillside which slopes down from Boston Rock on the northerly side of Sylvan Street, or to understand how public-spirited citizens can permit this northern outlook to be disfigured by unsightly buildings and shacks. It would at least seem practicable to acquire enough of the land on this nortli- erly side of Sylvan Street, opposite the cemetery, to establish upon it a screen of trees and shrubbery; and we so recommend. We wish that the City might own this entire hillside and entirely eliminate these buildings and shacks. It is possible to treat so much of this land as lies between the westerly side of Boston Rock and Lebanon Street as district from so much of it as lies between Main Street and the westerly side of Boston Rock; but we have shown on the zoning map submitted herewith a strip one hundred feet wide, extending along the entire northerly side of Sylvan Street from Main Street to Lebanon Street, as to be acquired for park purposes in order to protect and beautify the cemetery and its approaches. Such a strip as we have indicated would remove the present objectionable display of monu- ments at the corner of Main and Sylvan Streets and tend to increase the value of the land then remaining in that vicinity.
On the zoning map we have also shown two proposed municipal forests, one on the Mount Hood property given to the City under the will of the late John C. F. Slayton and the other to the north of Howard Street. We recommend that the City establish a municipal forest upon the Mount Hood property. This is entirely consistent with its use for park purposes. If other suitable land, adjacent to it or elsewhere, can be obtained by the City at a very low price per acre, we recommend its acquirement for further forest purposes.
We make these forest recommendations in all seriousness. Fitch- burg has established municipal forests comprising four parcels with a total area of 109 acres. Walpole has a town forest of 150 acres; Brook- line has one of 350 acres; and Petersham one of about 200 acres. Cities and towns of Europe have maintained municipal forests for commercial purposes for several hundred years, and they are profitable. Massachu- setts imports about 80 per cent of the wood used by it. It is estimated that within 20 years the bulk of our lumber will have to be brought from the Pacific coast at a cost, for transportation alone, exceeding what it would cost to grow the timber in Massachusetts. The time is certainly coming when America must follow the example of Europe
248
CITY OF MELROSE
in this respect. It requires from forty to one hundred years to grow a crop of merchantable timber, depending on the species, and it would seem to be a wise policy to begin now. A municipal forest makes an ideal place for picnics. It may be rented for camping parties. The public domain act, sections 19-24 of Chapter 45 of the General Laws, authorizes the city, by a two-thirds vote of its Board of Aldermen, to take or purchase lands within its limits for forestry purposes. If it sees fit, it may place this land under the supervision of the State Forester. The law makes no restriction as to the price which may be paid for land acquired under this act. In this connection and for a full discussion of the subject we respectfully refer you to Bulletin 132 of the Massachu- setts Forestry Association.
We recommend that a zoning ordinance be adopted as soon as possible. We understand that there is now being considered a plan for erecting a large number of three-flat houses on Lebanon Street near the Malden line. It has been the policy of Melrose to discourage three-flat houses. We believe that this policy has been wise, and that the erection of the above-mentioned houses will be not only a detri- ment to the City but also a financial burden to it. Under a zoning ordinance this might readily be prevented. Springfield and North- ampton have so appreciated the immediate necessity of zoning that they have passed temporary zoning ordinances to protect these cities until final ordinances can be determined upon. If Melrose adopts the zoning ordinance submitted herewith it can amend that ordinance as experience may require.
As noted in our financial statement for the year 1921, the bill for printing our last annual report was not received in season to be paid out of the sufficient appropriation for that year, and had to be taken from the $150.00 appropriated for this current year.
