REPORT OF THE WAYLAND PLANNING BOARD FOR THE YEAR 1932
Nineteen thirty-two has been a busy year with the Way- land Planning Board.
Having completed the skeleton of the first accurate Town map ever made, a work which has taken several years, the Board has had copies made, one of which was presented to the Board of Selectmen, another of which is to be placed in the Public Library, and others will be available for Town Officers as needed. Copies for the public will be made at cost.
At the request of the Board of Selectmen, a survey was made of Castle Gate South for use in connection with the possible laying out of this road.
Feeling that, with so much money being expended for wel- fare, the Town should be using the laborers available for work that would be of permanent value, the Board was of the opinion that the project which would offer the most opportunity for hand labor, and at the same time return the most benefit to the Town would be a system of drainage for the village of Cochituate, where there is much standing water and objection- able conditions regarding sewage. Plans have been prepared showing two large sections of the village with possible methods of draining them. These will be presented at the Town Meeting, it is expected. The work can be done piecemeal and spread over a long time, or it can be done at one stroke. Drain pipe will be required to complete the plan fully, but otherwise the project calls chiefly for labor. If this is carried out even in part, it will add greatly to the healthfulness of Cochituate and to its attractiveness as a place to live.
The surveys made are enlargements of sections of the Town plan and further enlargements will be made as funds are available.
The Board called together the zoning committee appointed by the Town for its first meeting and is much interested in its progress. We believe that the Town should adopt a suitable zoning law as soon as proper preparation can be made.
The Board has met regularly and feels that a great deal has been accomplished with the small appropriation available this year.

REPORT OF THE FIRE ENGINEERS
The Cochituate and Wayland companies have answered ninety-four alarms the past year. Twenty-four of these were for buildings, the remainder for brush, woods and grass fires.
The department has had no large woods' fires to contend with this year ; all being of a minor nature and easily controlled with the new equipment for forest fire work.
This accounts for the substantial balance from the appro- priation for the year.
The Engineers are not asking for any special appropria- tions for the fire alarm system or new apparatus even though a new truck of larger capacity is needed for the forest fire equip- ment and the alarm system is not dependable.
The year ends with all equipment in good condition.
We have purchased Foamite equipment for both companies as the installation of oil burners in many homes is an added fire risk.

The Board has investigated many complaints during the year. All contagious diseases that were reported were taken care of, but nothing can be done unless the case has been reported by the physician in charge or by the head of the family. The Board wishes that everyone would realize the necessity of knowing the General Laws governing contagious cases.
The Board has received a bill from the City of Quincy amounting to $858.00.
Owing to the fact that this family has gained a residence in this Town it is compulsory for us to pay the bill.
We intend to list this in the warrant for unpaid bills.
WALDO L. LAWRENCE, Chairman, ERNEST H. DAMON, Clerk, JOHN J. LINNEHAN,
Wayland Board of Health.
