REPORT OF THE WAYLAND BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1941
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland :
Through the Park Board the Town now provides facilities for wholesome, year-round outdoor recreation for the children, young people and adults of the Town. During the summer there are facilities for supervised swimming, tennis courts and playgrounds in both Wayland and Cochituate. In the winter there are skating facilities at the Mill Pond, equipped and main- tained with the help of a committee headed by Mr. Hugh Col- liton, and the area is lighted at night for the benefit of those who are not able to use it in the day time.
In addition to maintaining these recreational facilities and keeping the ball fields and Town park land in attractive con- dition, the Board tries to make some improvements each year. This year the park land in Wayland Center was improved by re- moval of debris and brush and grading, and, with the coopera- tion of the Selectmen and volunteer helpers, weeds were re- moved at the Dudly Pond beach. Proper equipment for snow removal at the skating pond was provided (with financial help from the committee headed by Mr. Colliton) and the Parent- Teachers Association donated some new playground equipment. Such donations are much appreciated.
It is financially impossible for the Park Board to provide for paid care of the tennis courts, park land and other park fa- cilities on the scale that is done in larger towns and cities, so the appearance of park land and condition of tennis courts and other facilities depend to a large extent on the thoughtfulness of the people. Many improvements have been made by volunteer- ed work. The Board very much appreciates the help of those who have in this way done their bit in improving the park grounds and equipment and keeping them in good condition.

REPORT OF THE WAYLAND WATER BOARD
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland :
The Board organized with Walter S. Bigwood, Chairman ; Alfred C. Damon, Secretary and Collector ; Alfred A. Lama- rine was reappointed Superintendent, and Charles Potvin reap- pointed Engineer.
At the present time the Water Department is cooperating with the State and Local Defense Departments. If an emer- gency of any nature should arise, please notify the Department by calling Wayland 266 or Natick 1507-M.
The Board wishes to notify you that they have definitely adopted the plan of placing legally recorded leins on properties where water rates are delinquent. Like tax liens, water leins are placed on the tax bill and are collected by the Tax Collector, with a fee charged for recording and removing the lein. This method of collection avoids the customary unpleasantness of shutting off water, at the same time guaranteeing the water rates due the Town.
Respecfully submitted,
WALTER S. BIGWOOD, Chairman, ALFRED C. DAMON, Clerk, GEORGE BOGREN.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
Your Cemetery Commissioners respectfully submit the fol- lowing report of their service for the year 1941.
One perpetual care gift was received in the course of the year ; the sum of $100.00 given by Charles F. Whittier for the perpetual care of lot 31, North Cemetery. This gift brings the number of P. C. funds to 125, aggregating $23,025.00 and pro- viding for the care of 164 lots.
Twenty-seven lot owners paid sums amounting to $103.00 for the annual care of their lots. Your Commissioners strong- ly feel that in all cases the care of lots should be a charge upon the owners and not a burden upon the town; and that all lot owners should provide for the care of their lots by a perpetual care fund, or by the payment, each year, of a fee for the service rendered.
Three small lots have been sold during the year, all in Lake- view Cemetery, for which a total of $85.00 has been received.
Restoration work in the North Cemetery has been contin- ued as funds have permitted and we are requesting this year an allotment to complete this long delayed work.
In Lakeview Cemetery the last available area has been graded and laid out, and furnishes 22 new lots. This is the ul- timate capacity of the cemetery and will eke out the supply of lots to cover the requirements of the next few years.
The card catalogue and index begun two years ago, has been completed and brought up to date, and embodies in com- pact form all obtainable information concerning each lot and the interments therein. The complete files are made in duplicate, one cabinet being kept by the Superintendent and one by the Clerk, thus safeguarding against loss of the records by fire. The making of these records involved a great amount of work whch has been carried through without special appropriation.

WARREN D. VALENTINE, Clerk.
