REPORT OF THE WAYLAND PLANNING BOARD For the Year 1937


The keynote of the work of the Planning Board in the past year has been an effort to be of the greatest possible ser- vice to the other Town departments. Following the wishes of the Finance Committee expressed when the liberal grant was recommended for our Board, we have supplied plans and sug- gestions for the Park Department, for five W.P.A. projects, for the Board of Survey, for the School Committee, and for the Board of Selectmen in connection with many proposed Town improvements.


For the Park Department, we completed a survey of the park lands which recently came into the possession of the Town through the generosity of the Adams Estate and of Mrs. Edmund H. Sears. This survey proved to be more difficult than was anticipated because of lost bounds and old deeds. Studies were made of conditions at the site of the old dam and grades were secured on the paths and hillside. After this prep- aration a preliminary layout of the property as a park was pre- pared by the well-known landscape architect, A. A. Shurcliff. It is the intent of this layout to keep the beautiful natural fea- tures of the mill pond and forest lands surrounding it and at the same time to make the park an attractive place for the townspeople both in winter and summer. Final plans and details are yet to be completed.


Considerable study has been given to plans for W.P.A. projects, particularly the highway drainage project in Cochitu- ate and the Cochituate playground. Studies of the Cochituate Drainage Project made by the Board several years ago have been made more comprehensive by the addition of plans and profiles for drains and catch basins were made this year for East Plain Street. Studies were made of Bradford Street, Pemberton Road and a portion of West Plain Street.


For the selectmen acting in their capacity as Board of Sur-


132


vey, complete acceptance plans were prepared of the Lake Road in Cochituate, including a photostat of the old lot plan for use at the hearing.


Certain changes in the Town Hall having been demanded by the State Department of Public Safety, and there being con- siderable sentiment for making the building of greater service to the Town officers, plans were made at the suggestion of the Selectmen showing the possibilities for alterations in the first story and basement. These plans were considered at meetings called by the Selectmen of all the branches of Town govern- ment concerned, together with the Finance Committee. Speci- fications were then prepared for a general contract, also for plumbing, heating and electric wiring. Bids have been received for possible acceptance by the Town.


At the request of the School Committee, a study of the unsatisfactory conditions of the basement, sewage disposal system and yard at the Cochituate school has been made. The firm of Weston & Sampson, sanitary engineers, was employed to make a report on methods and costs of correcting the general drainage of the vicinity; an enterprise which ties in with the previous work of the Board done several years ago on the Cochituate drainage project.


The following plans were copied and added to the growing collection available for the use of the Board and other Town officials : plans of Pine Ridge Road, Sunset Road and Crest Road, Dudley Road and Beechwood Point.


At a Legislative hearing, the Board opposed the proposal to widen the Boston Post Road to a four-lane traffic highway, stressing the dangers such a wide speedway would involve and the harm that it was likely to do to the center of Wayland village.


Another bill in the Legislature proposed further use of Lake Cochituate, and the following vote was passed :


VOTE: "The Planning Board believes that boating and fishing on Lake Cochituate should be allowed to residents of Wayland as well as Natick under restrictions necessary to prevent any nuisances, but the Board strongly believes that the shores of the Lake should be retained permanently as a public reservation."


The Board has been in active touch with the State Plan- ning Board and with the Massachusetts Federation of Plan-


133


ning Boards. To the State Planning Board a list of the most important scenic features of the Town was sent at their request. Our Chairman is a member of the Executive Committee of the State Federation of Planning Boards and represented us at the regional meeting called by the State Planning Board.


With the co-operation of the Selectmen, we have collabor- ated with the Framingham Planning Board in calling the atten- tion of the County Commissioners to the unsafe condition of the old Stone Bridge and of Stone Bridge Road. We hope that this imperative improvement at this point may be made a part of a much more comprehensive improvement of Stone Bridge Road as a through way with the County and State par- ticipating in the cost.


Respectfully submitted, GILBERT SMALL, Chairman, JAMES BOLTON, ARTHUR D. DOOLEY, CHESTER H. HOBBS, OTTO H. KOHLER, HOWARD S. RUSSELL, Clerk.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS


During the past year the two companies answered a total of 115 alarms. Grass, woods and brush fires accounted for 52 calls, while 21 alarms were sounded for fires in buildings. Rescue work, drowning accidents, automobiles and other vari- ous causes accounted for the remainder.


Four members of the department completed the course of drills and lectures conducted by the Department of Education and have received their certificates, bringing the total of trained men to nine.


This vocational training is proving to be of great value, not only for increased efficiency, but has also raised the morale of the departments whose men have attended these schools.


The fire alarm situation must be considered this year in order to safeguard property and persons. Delay and confusion are dangerous and have caused an excessive fire loss which could have been reduced by a dependable system.


Two new alarm boxes were installed during the past year in the Woodland Park district. These boxes were donated by public spirited residents and added to the system.


Respectfully submitted, THEODORE H. HARRINGTON, ERNEST H. DAMON, ALBERT J. KEACH, Board of Fire Engineers.

At a special Town meeting it was voted that several bills of the Framingham Union Hospital for the years 1933-1936


143


inclusive which totaled $501.80 be paid from the 1937 Welfare appropriation.


A list of expenditures and unexpended balances will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.


This Board appreciates the wholehearted co-operation given by the Board of Selectmen, the Highway Department and others which has made it possible to provide sufficiently for the needs of every case during the past year. The Highway Department has been especially kind by the willingness with which they made quick deliveries of fuel wood. The office, commissary and many cases on relief have used wood exclusively though some cases are of too short a duration to be made to change to wood burning equipment.


Much has been written in the newspapers lately that is derogatory to the manner in which Local Boards have admin- istered relief, especially in the small towns. We feel that if the State Welfare Agents were a little less insistent about caring for cases in their way the load, without a doubt, could be lessened.


The amount of clerical work in the Bureau of Old Age Assistance made necessary by the State and Federal affiliations have caused us to make some changes in our office set-up. We expect that this change will prove very efficient.


Respectfully submitted, WARREN F. LAWRENCE, JAMES C. MCKAY.

REPORT OF THE SOLDIERS' RELIEF AGENT


To the Board of Selectmen :


Herewith is my third annual report of the Soldiers' Relief Department and the Administration of Soldiers' Benefits.


Twelve family cases representing twenty-eight persons, and five single person cases were granted relief, direct and supplementary, from time to time during the year.


A few veterans have been able to find employment in pri- vate industries, while others employed on W.P.A. projects, worked steadily, making it unnecessary to draw supplementary aid.


Two cases have been hospitalized at the Mass. Soldiers' Home at Chelsea, where exceptional medical and surgical care was received.


The disbursements of the Fund will be found in the Accountant's detailed report.


Respectfully submitted, JAMES J. BOLTON, Soldiers' Relief Agent.

REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE IN WAYLAND


The following is a report of the work of the Middlesex County Extension Service for the town of Wayland, during 1937.


During the year the poultrymen in town took an active interest in the work of the Extension Service. Twenty-four farm visits were made upon request. These were largely to help with disease control and management problems. General information was sent out to thirty poultrymen.


A demonstration on mouse control in orchards was held at Joseph Decatur's farm with Don Spencer of the U. S. Biolog- ical Survey in charge.


Farm visits were made upon request to help with fruit and vegetable production problems. Fruit growers received warn- ing cards on pest control from the Extension Service office. Free soil testing was done at the Extension Service office for Wayland farmers.


On the farm of Roland Campbell, a demonstration of ditching with dynamite was given under the direction of W. C. Harrington, Extension Engineer.


Farm visits were made on milk marketing problems, feed- ing dairy cattle, improved pastures, the vaccination of dairy calves against Bang's disease, field crops, dairy farm accounts, and farm credit.


Two groups of homemakers participated in the project on Coats, one in Child Development, two in Garment Finishes and the Silk and Wool Dress, and one in Food Preservation under the direction of Professor Cole. One group took the Food Buying course.


147


Several home visits were made and information of interest to homemakers was sent to those on the mailing list.


Mrs. Joseph Decatur served as chairman of 4-H Club work for the town during the year, and was assisted by thirteen local leaders. 106 boys and girls were enrolled in the clothing, home furnishing, canning, conservation, music, garden, craft, and junior homemakers clubs.


A Two-Day Trip to the Massachusetts State College was awarded to Florence Reid, Barbara Reid, and Delia Decola, for their excellent 4-H Club work.


Mrs. Leslie Reid attended Leaders' Camp; Ruth Decatur, State Camp; and Beatrice and Susan Decatur, William White, Ellen Leonard, Kittie Wentworth, Florence Reid, Barbara Reid, and John O'Connell attended Camp Middlesex. These camps were all held on the campus of the Massachusetts State College, Amherst.


A "Down With Rag Weed" campaign was started in co- operation with the Wayland Garden Club.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


Your Committee wishes to call your attention to the reports of the Superintendent, Principal of the High School, School Physician, and Visiting Nurse.


There are several serious problems confronting the Town in the operation of its schools at the present time. The most serious situation is in the Cochituate grammar school, where ground water and sewerage are a problem that should be solved and taken care of without further delay. There is an article in the warrant covering this matter, and we trust it will receive approval by the Town.


The Cochituate school is now crowded beyond its capacity. There are 311 children enrolled, with a capacity of 280, and there should be a committee appointed at this meeting to report promptly what action to take in regard to this situation. As a temporary relief, another room can be opened in the Center grammar school, adding a teacher, and transporting the pupils to that building. This will also add to our transportation costs.


It is needless to say that any addition to the Cochituate school should not be attempted before this drainage and sewer- age matter is cleared up. Where some of the larger cities are having a reduction in their number of pupils, the outlying towns like ours are growing more rapidly, and the total registration is the highest we have ever had.


At this time, we would like to call your attention to the fine work done in grading around the high school, which makes a very pleasing appearance with the fine grass plots. We feel that the men who did this work should be complimented upon a job well done.


LLEWELLYN MILLS, Chairman, DOROTHY C. STONE, CORNELIUS J. MAGUIRE.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the Wayland School Committee :


The fortieth report of the Superintendent of Schools, Superintendency Union, No. 30, is presented.


During the year 1937 certain things have been done that have brought to this Department much satisfaction. The grad- ing about the high school building is a major accomplishment.


All who work in the high school are very grateful to the town for completing the plans that give Wayland High School a very attractive setting. We are also grateful to those who planned and directed the work and to those who labored pains- takingly to make the results of planning and directing a work of art. It seemed to me as I watched this work develop that every one connected with it took for a motto-"This is my school and my town. I will do my best to have this a beauty spot for my town and my school."


We should be appreciative of the fact that our boys and girls take great pride in helping to make the care of our grounds accord with the spirit of those who toiled for them.


Some of the rooms in the old grammar school at the center have been re-decorated. Four rooms not heretofore lighted have been furnished with very modern lighting units. These are proving to be highly satisfactory. Desk lamps have been furnished for teachers at the high school, cutting the lighting bill noticeably. A hood has been furnished for the gas range at the Center Elementary School. Very desirable equipment has been installed for basketball in the Gymnasium. A suitable bubbler has been placed in the basement of the Center Elemen- tary School. Changes in the cold air chambers at the Center building have brought good results.
