The new aqueduct has given work to many residents of Wayland and its closing has thrown upon W. P. A. and Welfare rolls many worthy men who need and desire private employ- ment.
By waiting and taking advantage of the mistakes of others, the removal of stumps left after the hurricane upon Town high- ways was done at a price far less than was paid in other Towns.
The material unsuited for road work was hauled to Ceme- teries for filling holes, and the loom was also hauled to Ceme- teries for future needs.
The pipe for the new aqueduct has been laid and some grading has been done, and the balance awaits the opening of spring.
This project when finished will be of great benefit to the Town as a whole, having cleared many undesirable places, and
78
allowed for the widening and re-arranging of the roads in Woodland Park.
The Metropolitan District Water Commission have been very cooperative and have given land for the Pine Ridge Road Extension through the Steele property, the relocating of Wood- land Road and land for new highway at points adjoining the pipe line, and have furnished maps of their taking, together with the adjoining land which will be of value to the Assessing De- partment.
Where water mains have crossed, a "U" has been installed under the line, of a size sufficient for the needs of the districts it will serve, for years to come.
The American Concrete Steel Co., (through its general superintendent, Mr. Bolton,) the contractors for the laying of pipe, etc. in Wayland, have worked with the Selectmen in every way possible and have been very generous in the employment of Wayland men on the work, and in many other ways have given freely to assist the Town of Wayland.
Mr. Gilbert Small of the Planning Board has been an ardent worker in the cause, and together with the Chairman of the Selectmen has accomplished the improvements to date.
The Town Treasurer, Town Counsel, and Chairman of Board have met with the Metropolitan District Water Com- mission regarding the Town land takings and adjustments.
Again the past year will go on record as one of the most active for many years, weekly meetings of the Board were necessary in order to handle the requirements placed upon them.
The work of the Selectmen's department requires the ser- vice of a paid clerk who can handle routine matters, and be available at the Town Hall for those requiring information, and be of assistance to other departments.
We have been ready and willing at all times to assist the citizens, and to cooperate whenever we could without injury to others.
All departments have carried on their work by their own plans, purchasing materials when and where they saw fit with- out any interference, and the Departments have found us ready and willing to help them in any way we could, and we thank them and the citizens for their assistance.

WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION
To the Board of Selectmen :
The Work Projects Administration has been very active in the town and has accomplished some very good projects.
During the year 1939 the Town received a large cut in its personnel which did not allow us to do as many projects as we had planned to do.
The Fire Hazard Project that started in 1938 was con- tinued through to June 1939. The men piled the brush up in ricks on account of the woods being so dry that they could not have any fires. They have burned all the ricks this winter when there was snow on the ground under the supervision of the U. S. Forestry Service.
The Moth Project was a help to the land owners who own wood lots as there were 389,400 nests painted during the win- ter months.
The Water Project on River Road was a great help. It provided better fire protection to the people who owned prop- erty there.
The Water Project on Lake Road replaced the old 2-inch main with a six-inch main which will give more pressure and better fire protection in that vicinity. There were three new hydrants installed and twenty-one new services.
The Drainage Project on Lake Road is completed and will take the water from Lake Road and some from West Plain Street which empties into a leaching basin on the edge of the Metropolitan land. There were 37112 cubic yards of subsoil hauled to the Lakeview Cemetery from this project to help fill up a space to make new lots.
The Sewing Project has been carried on employing many women who are making articles for the needy.
Federal Funds Expended for Relief during 1939 for the Town of Wayland.

Clothing 3,670.25
$11,668.08
During the year of 1939 eighty-two different persons have worked on W. P. A. here in Wayland and this number of cases represent 323 persons receiving benefits from this Federal money.
During the year of 1939 there were 115 different people got employment on the new Metropolitan Aqueduct through the W. P. A. Office.
The Town wants to thank Mr. John A. Scott who is the manager of the Massachusetts State Employment Office in Wal- tham for putting so many Wayland men to work.
