COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE
In boys' and girls' 4-H Club work a total of forty- eight girls and boys were enrolled in the clothing, handi- craft, poultry, garden and canning clubs. Mrs. Richard Ames, Mrs. Mary Kerr, Mr. James Morton and Reverend William Kelly assisted as local leaders.
The girls of Station W O R K Club worked during the clothing club season on articles for a sale which was held during the year and netted $125.00 for a community project.
The Cochituate Toolcraft Club was one of the best handicraft clubs in the county. Henry Hardy was award- ed a week at the State 4-H Camp at the Massachusetts Agricultural College for being county handicraft cham- pion. Henry did excellent work in the poultry club as well.
Elmer Bigwood won first prize at the Grange Fair for his canning exhibit and was also awarded a Two Day Trip to the Massachusetts Agricultural College for doing outstanding garden club work.
Wayland clubs exhibited their products at the Hud- son 4-H club rally and received first prize for having a well set-up exhibit.
Two very active groups of homemakers in Wayland carried on the Living-room Improvement program and thirty-five of the women reported definite changes as a result of this program. These same two groups, Cochi- tuate Mothers' Club and Tower Hill group, also were in- terested in the vegetable preparation program, developed during the fall.
Professor William R. Cole of the Massachusetts Agri- cultural College gave a canning demonstration for the benefit of the Wayland homemakers.
In agriculture most of the service rendered during the year has been answering requests for individual
166
assistance. Forty-nine farm visits were made answering these personal requests, largely on dairying, fruit, poultry and vegetable farming.
Eight educational motion picture shows were given during the year to a total attendance of 1323.
County-wide meetings in poultry, fruit growing and market gardening have been available to the Wayland people and many attended the county picnic held during the summer at Wayside Inn, Sudbury, Mass.

REPORT OF THE WAYLAND WATER BOARD
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland:
The Board organized with Walter S. Bigwood, chair- man; Alfred C. Damon, secretary and collector; A. A. Lamarine reappointed superintendent.
The business of supplying the Village of Cochituate with water was accomplished with some difficulty owing to the severe dry season. The water being very low in the reservoir and having a peculiar taste the Board voted to turn on Wayland water. The connection was made with the Wayland system on Sept. 29 and remedied a very serious situation.
This necessitated more work at the Pumping Station to keep the supply of water in the stand pipe at a safe level. In order to accomplish this both pumps had to be operated at the same time. With Cochituate water on several leaks developed in the wood mains.
The Wayland system was operated with some trouble. The main trouble being in the suction line of the wells. Several wells were discovered to have defective connec- tions. This caused a large amount of air to get into the water about which several complaints were received. The State Board of Health was consulted and samples were obtained for examination. A favorable report was re- turned by them.
At the Special Town Meeting held in October, it was voted "that the Water Board extend a main on Glezen Lane as far as the appropriation was available."
The Board thought it advisable to connect at Moore Road, extend through Glezen Lane and tie in at Concord Road doing away with the dead end. This could not be accomplished with the appropriation, so the Board voted to take the balance from their regular appropriation. The contract was given to Mr. Ducey but owing to weather
168
conditions it was necessary to postpone operations until spring.
Balance of water accounts receivable shows a slight increase over that of a year ago. Whereas, there has been a decided gain on back accounts. The large bills are for installations many of which could not be rendered until late in December, payments of which will be credited in 1930. Even one of these bills is equal to many bills for water service. The Jan. 1, 1929 balance consists largely of the latter.
The report of the expenditures of the Board will be found in the accountant's report.
The Board recommends that meters be installed on all services connected with the pumping systems.

SUPERINTENDENT OF WATER WORKS REPORT
To Board of Water Commissioners:
More services were installed the past season than for many years. This was due to the very dry summer, new main extensions and new buildings. The water at the reservoir on Rice Road got very low affecting the quality and pressure on the Cochituate system. The springs sup- plying the reservoir did not dry up but their supply did not equal the amount being used. The connection to the new system came at the right time or it would have been necessary to make arrangements to take water from Natick. The connection of the new system to the old was made by laying about 6000 feet of 8 inch pipe along Con- necticut Path to the pipe of the Cochituate system. This is a 6 inch pipe which extends along Connecticut Path to West Plain Street and then to Memorial Square, a dis- tance of about two miles. This size pipe (6-in.) gives plenty of water for ordinary use but does not give enough for fire purposes. It is still necessary to turn on the emer- gency connection with Natick to get the amount of water required for the pumping engine. The pressure reducer at the connection of the two systems is set at 65 pounds. This about equals the pressure that is had when the Na- tick water is turned on. The full pressure if turned on would be 90 pounds. This is more than some of the plumbing and pipes on the old system would stand. Sev- eral small leaks developed in the wood mains along Con- necticut Path but these were stopped and there has been no trouble since. During the summer trouble developed in the suction lines to the wells at the pumping station grounds. After the tests were made to locate the trouble the connections to the mains and the connections to 20 wells were uncovered. Several small leaks were found in mains and stopped. Five well connections were found in poor condition. These were repaired and the trouble stopped. All of the damaged connections were found in swamp surface ground and had apparently been damaged
170
by back-filling at time of installation. There has been no shortage of water from the wells at any time. One hyd- rant was broken by an automobile during the year. The machine got away before the number could be secured. Inspection of hydrants showed 8 with plugged drains, 7 of these were on the Cochituate system. They were re- paired. There were three small joint leaks on mains in new system. These were stopped.
Services installed : 1 inch, 56; 11/2 inch, 2; 2 inch, 3; 4 inch, 6; Total, 67.
Service pipe installed : 1 inch, 4980 ft .; 11/2 inch, 600 ft .; 2 inch, 400 ft .; 4 inch, 2421 ft .; Total, 8401 ft.

Heard and $50.00 from Miss Blanche E. Heard for a Fund of $100 to be known as the Newell Heard Fund: $150 from Mrs. Margaret A. Allen for a Fund to be known as the Robert Erwin Fund, and $125 from Mrs. E. P. Loker for a Fund to known as the Cecil I. Flint Fund.
The above kind gifts brought the amount of money invested for a perpetual care of certain burial lots up to $14.635.00 by December 31, 1929. The interest from each Fund assures the lot under perpetual care, most careful attention and improves the general appearance of the Cemetery. It is hoped other owners will notice the con- dition of the lots under Perpetual Care.
