REPORT OF THE WAYLAND WATER BOARD
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland :
The Board organized with Walter Bigwood, Chairman, Alfred C. Damon Secretary and Collector, Alfred A. Lamarine was reappointed Superintendent and Louis Pettigrew reap- pointed Engineer.
The Board wishes to call your attention to rules 1 and 2 on your water bill, namely : (1) All water rates shall be due and payable at the Commissioner's Office semi-annually in advance on the twentieth day of February and August. (2) The Super- intendent has been instructed and is required to shut off the water from all services not paid on or before these dates.
Owing to the financial condition of the Water Department these rules will have to be enforced.
The Board authorized the replacing of the 6-inch wooden mains along Old Connecticut Path and Sycamore Road with 6-inch cast iron bell and spigot pipe and fittings. This project eliminated a number of large leaks and made a saving to the Department of approximately 100,000 gals. of water per month.
Considerable trouble developed in our vacuum pump and air compressor at the pump station which made it necessary for the Board to purchase new equipment.
The Board recommends that if it is possible to obtain E. R. A. labor money be appropriated for the purchase of materials for the replacing of the 2-inch mains now in existance in some parts of the system with 6-inch cast iron mains, so that fire protection may be had.
WALTER S. BIGWOOD, Chairman, ALFRED C. DAMON, Clerk. GEORGE BOGREN.

The 6-inch pipe over Pelham Island Road bridge froze. Repairs were delayed by high water in Sudbury River. Blow-offs have been installed on these lines. A hydrant was broken off at base by heaving of frost. One hydrant was broken in barrel by freezing. There were 28 houses without water at different times on account of frozen mains or street pipes. Most of the freezing was in the sections around Dudley Pond.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS 1935
January 1st, 1935.
During 1934 six hundred dollars was received to establish Perpetual Care Funds as follows :
$100 from Mrs. Hellery W. B. Arnold, Milton, Massachusetts, to establish the Jahleel B. Sherman fund.
$100 from Mrs. Mabel L. McKewan to establish the Mabel L. McKewan fund.
$100 from Eugene R. Clapp of Cochituate to establish the Harriet E. Clapp fund.
$100 from Mrs. Josiah E. Bacon of West New- ton, Massachusetts, to establish the W. B. Braman fund.
$100 from Mrs. Elizabeth Beane of Cochituate to establish the Sawin and Beane fund.
$100 from Mrs. Mary A. Stevens of Waltham, Massachusetts, to establish the Hiram Thurston fund.
The above fund added to those formerly given brings the number of funds to 102 and amount of money invested to $19,000.00.
Only two burial lots and one grave were sold during 1934.
The number of lot owners who subscribed to annual care for extra work upon their burial lots was nineteen and they con- tributed $68.85 for such care. It is hoped that other lot owners will desire extra care, which will materially better the appear- ance of the cemeteries.
Your Commissioners would draw the attention of the citi- zens who may wish to secure burial lots in Lake View Cemetery,
201
Wayland, Massachusetts, to the relative scarcity of available lots.
An effort was made in 1931 to purchase a tract of land adjoining the East side which would have provided 178 new burial lots. This particular piece of land is free from trees and is absolutely level and only required roadways and laying out of lots to be immediately available for burial purposes. It would be advisable for the Town to acquire this piece of land.
Aided by Federal money the stone wall at the front of the Center Cemetery has been rebuilt greatly improving its appear- ance.
The entrance of the North Cemetery has been rebuilt by Federal money and future expense for repairs of washouts in Spring and Fall avoided.
Due to rotting of many trees and damage by ants, many trees had been cut down leaving a large number of unsightly stumps in the North Cemetery extension. Through a grant of Federal money these stumps were all removed.
The use of Federal money gave employment to about fif- teen men, and bettered the appearance of the Cemeteries at little expense to the Town.
Respectfully submitted, PAUL B. DAVIS, Chairman, J. MADISON BENT, WILLIAM READ, Clerk.
