REPORT OF THE WAYLAND BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1940
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland :
The function of the Park Board is to provide facilities for wholesome recreation for the children, young people and adults of the town, and to encourage their use, as well as to maintain the park plots of the town in attractive condition.
The bathing beach at Dudley Pond was operated during the season with a lifeguard in charge. The Board has co- operated with a committee headed by Mr. Hugh Colliton in pro- viding skating facilities at the Mill Pond in Wayland. The park tennis courts in Wayland and Cochituate were used very extensively during the season, and the Board sponsored a ten- nis tournament again this year. Charles Smith, Jr., was the winner of the men's division and Edward Lizotte was the winner of the boys' division. The Board purchased materials for the new steel grandstand at the ball field in Cochituate, and the stand was erected by volunteers. Horse-shoe pitch- ing outfits have been installed at the playgrounds in Wayland and Cochituate.
Last spring, through the co-operation of the Welfare Board, the bathing beach area at Dudley Pond, the ball field in Cochituate and the grass plots in Wayland Center were greatly improved with a thorough raking and spring clean- up. The areas kept mowed through the summer were ex- tended to include the Dudley Pond bathing beach area, the entire Cochituate ball field and larger portions of the park plots in Wayland Center. Benches were installed at the Dud- ley. Pond bathing beach, at both tennis courts and at the bus stop in Wayland.
Plans have been substantially completed for a W. P. A. project to reconstruct the dam and improve the adjoining park land at the Mill Pond in Wayland and for the construction of
200
two additional tennis courts, one in Wayland and one in Co- chituate.
The Board expresses its appreciation for the assistance and co-operation of those who have done work for the Board and the many others who have assisted in its activities and in developing the recreational facilities of the town.
ELMER W. BIGWOOD, Chairman, FRANK S. TARR, Clerk, ROGER E. ELA.

REPORT OF THE WAYLAND WATER BOARD
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland.
The Board organized with, Walter S. Bigwood, Chairman and Alfred C. Damon, Clerk. A. A. Lamarine was reap- pointed Superintendent. Charles Potvin was reappointed En- gineer.
The Board voted to extend 6" mains on five different streets in the town, to take care of new developments. We felt the increase in taxes on these properties would more than offset the small amount of money invested.
As voted in the annual Town Meeting of last March, the lowering of the water mains on Lake Path and Pine Ridge Roads has been completed.
The Board feels that an additional pumping unit should be installed at the Pumping Station to take care of an emer- gency that may develop, as the present equipment has been in operation for about thirteen years. We have employed the services of a competent Engineering Company to obtain ad- vice concerning type, capacity, etc., of a new pumping unit and hope to see it installed in the near future.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER S. BIGWOOD, Chairman, ALFRED C. DAMON, Clerk, GEORGE BOGREN.
