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 Supt. and Louis Pettigrew reappointed Engineer.


The Board wishes to call your attention to rules 1 & 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 Superintendent 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 let the contract for a new six inch well to the Continental Concrete Well Company. This well was driven last August and delivers approximately 388 gals of water per water per minute.


The contract for painting the inside of the Stand pipe was let to the R. O. Leonard Company of Framingham.


After the water was drained from the standpipe we found it necessary to sand blast the inside of the standpipe before it could be painted. A ladder was installed on the inside and a ventilater was installed on the roof to eliminate the condensa- tion which takes place in the inside also a hanhole was installed.


During the past year there were twenty leaks all of which occured in the wooden mains along Old Connecticut Path and Sycamore Road.


The Board feels that the time has come when these water mains must be replaced.


The Board installed the following water mains with C. W.


203


A. labor : 4 inch main on Stanton St., Harrison St. and Dun- ster Avenue. By these installations 4 dead ends were eliminated.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS FOR JANUARY, 1934


During 1933, Perpetual Care Funds were received as follows :


$100 received from Louise A. Bullard, Nashua, New Hamshire from the estate of Louise E. Hay- den to establish "The Louise E. Hayden Fund".


$100 received from Christina Anderson to establish "The Soloman Anderson Fund".


$100 received from Mary A. Metcalfe, Alice M. Metcalfe and Rose G. Shaw to establish "The Metcalfe Fund".


The above $300 added to the invested funds as of January 1, 1933 makes a total of $18,200, income from which is used in the care of Funded burial lots.


By the sale of burial lots during 1933 $175 was turned over to the Town Treasurer.


The Civic Works program of the Federal Government provided about $650 for driveway improvement in the Lake View Cemetery.


The Cemetery Commissioners have ruled that no work shall be done on any burial lot in any of the Town Cemeteries by any one who is not employed through the Superintendent of said Cemeteries and whose wage is not paid by the Town Treasurer, execept the owner of said burial lot, or by a member of said owner's immediate family.


Having their attention called to Chapter 44, Section 53 of the General Laws of Massachusetts, which states "All monies received by any town officer or department-shall be paid by such officer or department upon their receipt INTO THE TOWN TREASURY-, the Cemetery Commissioners request that owners of burial lots who desire special care given their


205


lots, during the year, communicate directly with the Clerk of the Cemetery Commissioners and make all payments for such care to said clerk. The monies received from lot owners will be turned over to the Town Treasurer to repay the Town for the appropriation made in advance for this purpose. A standard scale of charges has been established which may be obtained from the Clerk of Cemetery Commissioners.


All monies paid for burial purposes, making foundations for grave stones or monuments, building of tombs or vaults, or for any other work upon a burial lot must be paid to the Clerk of the Cemetery Commissioners, to be turned over to the Town Treasurer. A uniform set of charges has been decided upon for opening and closing of graves, decorations, etc. to include all necessary charges for a burial except the undertaker's charges.


Respectfully submitted, JAMES MADISON BENT, Chairman, PAUL B. DAVIS, WILLIAM READ, Clerk.

INVENTORY OF TOWN PROPERTY


Inventories of property from all departments, taken at the close of the year 1933, are in the hands of the Treasurer and may be inspected by any interested voter of the Town.


F. G. MACKENNA, Treasurer.


207


REPORT OF WAYLAND ZONING COMMITTEE


Zoning is a means of securing order and good arrangement within the Town. Here are some of its objects :


(1) To protect a home owner from having his investment impaired by an undesirable business or building on an adjoining lot.


(2) To protect the Town and the home owners in it from speculative land development schemes. Such developments often result in cutting up desirable building land into lots too small to build a house and garage on, and leave no land for gar- den and lawn. These developments prove unsatisfactory to lot buyers and a poor investment for the Town.


(3) To serve as a guide to proper division of unoccupied land, and to make the Town attractive to those who desire per- manent homes.


(4) To provide adequate set-backs and yard widths so that buildings cannot be built so near the street as either to cut off the view, or to prevent future street widening ; or be placed so close together as to constitute a fire menace.


(5) To protect our townspeople who own or operate road- side stands from the competition of hucksters who purchase produce elsewhere for resale. Zoning will not, however, pre- vent the establishment of such stands within business districts. This is one reason for keeping the business districts relatively small.


In order to prevent misunderstanding let us mention a few of the things which the proposed by-law does not do :


(1) It does not change any existing building or alter the present use of any property or land. What ever is being done now may be continued regardless of the district in which the building or property is located.


208


(2) It does not impose any limit upon the cost of a house or other building whether it be large or small.


(3) It is not a building code and does not put any restric- tion upon the type of construction of any building.


(4) It does not prevent growth of business in the Town. Plenty of room has been provided in districts designated for business for many years to come.


(5) It is not a regulation which cannot be changed. It may be amended before adoption. It may also be amended at any regular meeting of the Town by a two-thirds vote after a hearing.


Wayland is one of only two towns left within twenty miles . of Boston without a zoning by-law. This fact has already had an adverse effect upon the Town. Its results are likely to be- come more pronounced as time goes on. Any town without a zoning by-law offers an invitation to the land speculator.


On the other hand, real estate agents tell us that desirable customers decline to buy property in Wayland because of lack of zoning protection and choose to locate in surrounding towns which are thus protected. Builders tell us that banks hesitate to make mortgage loans on new buildings in Wayland for fear that their investment may be jeopardized by undesirable future development.


The Committee has met regularly for many months. By hearings and personal conversation we have attempted to secure the opinion of the people. In preparing this by-law the Com- mittee has endeavored to make it fit the Town, and not have the Town compelled to fit into an artificial scheme.


Not all citizens will agree with the Committee on every point. Some, for instance, may think that two family houses should be provided for. The fact is, however, that none have been built in Town in recent years. Most people moreover re- gard them as tending to raise the Town's expenditures without an equivalent increase in taxes. Towns with many such build- ings are handicapped by a drifting population. We have pro- vided, however, that any existing dwelling may be divided to accommodate two families under a permit granted by the Board of Appeal, so as to prevent hardship to people who own large dwellings.


Some may feel that light manufacturing ought to be per-


209


mitted in other areas. Manufacturers, however, have shown no tendency to locate here in recent years. Moreover every place suggested as a proper district for manufacturing has encoun- tered objections. The area zoned in Wayland Center is already used for the types of business permitted in light manufacturing districts.


The Committee wishes to remind the Town that it was given no money to work with although a job of this character ordinarily requires professional services costing many hundred of dollars. If any errors are found, therefore, we must ask your indulgence.


Through the courtesy and co-operation of the Planning Board we have been enabled to prepare the zoning map. We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Chairman, Mr. Gil- bert Small, and to the other members of the Board, as well as to the many other town officials who have assisted in various ways.


The proposed by-law is necessarily quite lengthy and uses much legal terminology. This cannot be avoided if the work is to prove adequate and legal. The proposed law is very similar to laws adopted in other small suburban communities such as Lincoln and Sharon. It represents the best thought of this Committee and we earnestly hope that it may be adopted.
