REPORT OF THE WAYLAND BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR 1939


To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland :


The work of the Park Board consists principally of main- taining Town park land and grass plots and providing facilities for wholesome recreation for the children and young people of the Town and encouraging their use.


During the year the tennis courts at Wayland and Co- chituate were reconditioned and maintained through the season, and a new backstop was erected at the tennis court in Wayland to replace the old one that had worn out and collapsed. A new backstop was also erected at the baseball diamond in Cochituate. A tennis tournament was conducted again this year. There were numerous entries, and the trophies were won by Charles Smith, Jr. and Martin Edwards, Jr.


The bathing beach at Dudley Pond was operated through the summer, with a life guard in attendance. The Board joined with the Cochituate Red Cross in sending Miss Marie Hammond to the Red Cross School for life-saving instructors, and she gave instruction in swimming and life-saving at the Dudley Pond beach during the summer.


The Board has cooperated with a committee headed by Mr. Hugh Colliton which has provided skating facilities at the Mill Pond at Adams Park in Wayland Center. Separate areas were designated for hockey and general skating, the surface was kept clear of snow and surfaced, and lights were installed for night skating. This project was made possible by funds donated by individuals and from the proceeds of the Community Ball held last year. The Park Board expresses its appreciation to the committee and contributors and to Mr. Walter Harrington, who has been in charge at the Pond, for this fine contribution to the Town's winter recreational facilities ; and also to the Cochituate Hockey Club for providing skating facilities in Cochituate by frequently opening its rink for general skating.


The grass plots in Wayland Center and at the bathing beach


187


at Dudley Pond have been improved and kept mowed, and the plot lying between the Post Road and the brook in Wayland Center was made into a lawn. The Board has purchased a second-hand power mower to make it possible to keep the grass plots and baseball diamonds in better condition in the future, on an economical basis. Plans for general improvement of Adams Park at the Mill Pond are progressing, and it is hoped that this work can be done soon.


The Board wishes to express its appreciation for the assist- ance and cooperation of the many people who have cooperated in its activities this year.


ROGER E. ELA, Chairman, FRANK S. TARR, Clerk, ELMER W. BIGWOOD.


REPORT OF MEMORIAL DAY COMMITTEE


As time goes on greater demands are made on this com- mittee. In 1939 this committee through economical operation has remained within the appropriation made thereto-the amount of $400.00.


Expenditures in 1939 amounted to $383.49 leaving a balance of $16.51.


Respectfully submitted, CORNELIUS J. MAGUIRE, Chairman, AUGUST DATH, Secretary, · Memorial Day Committee.

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 re- appointed Superintendent. Charles Potvin was re-appointed Engineer.


The Board met with the Selectmen and State Engineers to discuss the installation of water mains on the streets where the new Aqueduct crosses. It was agreed that the water mains would go under the Aqueduct and be imbedded in cement. On streets where no main exists at the present time the Contractor would install a pipe to take care of future extensions. The Board met with the Committee on Rice Road extension. A re- port of this committee will be found in the Town Report.


Your Board again pleads with you to please cooperate with them during the Dry season and use as little water as possible as the Pumping facilities at the pump station are taxed to their limit.


The Water Board wishes to notify you that they are going to enforce the lien law on properties where water rates are de- linquent.


Respectfully submitted, WALTER S. BIGWOOD, Chairman, ALFRED C. DAMON, Clerk, GEORGE T. BOGREN.

MAINS


New mains including hydrants were put in as W. P. A. projects. New mains-River Road, 572 ft. 6-inch pipe ; Lake Road, 1,331 ft. 6-inch pipe. 120 ft. of water main on Knob Hill was lowered on account of road work; 1,760 ft. of 2-inch on Edgewood Road and 1,300 ft. of 2-inch pipe on Lake Road were abandoned on account of being replaced by larger mains. The Metropolitan Aqueduct crossed 9 water mains. Old water pipes were taken out and new pipes put in at all crossings. At Indian and Wallace Roads the pipes were placed over the Aque- duct. At all other crossings they were placed underneath, being imbedded in cement to the top of riser pipes. A 10-inch pipe was placed under the Aqueduct on Rice Road for future use. The water pipes were installed by The American Con- crete and Steel Pipe Company.


MAIN GATE VALVES


New Installations-Reservoir pipe off Loker Street, 1 10- inch; Indian Road, 1-4 inch; West Plain St., 1-6 inch; Lake Road, 1-6 inch.


HYDRANTS


New Installation-River Road, 1 gated; Lake Road, 3 gated ; broken by auto, 1; replaced 1, Wallace Road. There are 15 old hydrants left on the system that have been in service since 1878. They are corroded and unsafe to use and are an obsolete type that would not pay to repair.


LEAKS


Service pipes in street, 16; gate valve, 1; hydrant joint, 1; mains, 0.

PUMPING STATION


In contrast to last year when little overtime pumping was needed the amount of water used this year during the drought of July and August neared the station limit and exceeded it at times for short periods. With the construction of new wells the supply of water has been increased by a large amount but the use of water in drought time has increased in the same pro- portion making the same condition that existed before the new wells were put in. The use of water outside of the summer months amounts to not more than one-third of the pumping supply.

REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS


The Board of Cemetery Commissioners respectfully sub- mits the following report for 1939.


Three perpetual care gifts have been received in the course of the year, aggregating $450.00 as follows :


May 27. Gift of Mrs. W. H. Gage, to establish the "W. H. Gage Fund" for the perpetual care and decoration of Lot 23, Sec. G. Lakeview Cemetery. $150.00


September 2. Gift of Mrs. Loretta M. Butler, to establish the "Butler-Eton Fund" for the perpetual care and decoration of Lot No. 1, Sec. F. Lakeview Cemetery. $150.00


September 16. Gift of Mrs. Louis B. Burnham to es- tablish the "Mitchell-Loker Fund" for the perpetual care and decoration of Lot No. 7, Sec. B, Lakeview Cemetery $150.00


These added gifts bring the number of perpetual care funds to 123, and the total amount invested to $22,825.00; the income from which is restricted to the care of the lots specified in the gifts.


As returns from invested funds are small, the Commission- ers have established minimum amounts which can be accepted by the Town in undertaking a perpetual care trust, as follows : $100.00 for lots not exceeding 120 square feet in area ; $150.00 for lots from 120 to 216 square feet in area ; and larger lots in proportion.


Thirty lot owners paid for one year's care (1939) a total of $131.00.


Seventeen cemetery lots have been sold during 1939. Fif- teen in Lakeview Cemetery, and two in North Cemetery. The returns for the lots sold amount to $495.00. The sales in Lake- view Cemetery are partially offset by the laying out of 12 new lots in the discontinued section of roadway between sections B and C, above the "bowl." These desirable lots are to be sold with the proviso that they be placed under perpetual care.


192


An expected P. W. A. project for further repair work in the North Cemetery failed to come through, and the Commis- sioners were forced to proceed with the work to clear the ceme- tery at an expense of $800.00. There is much work yet to be done to restore the cemetery. A W. P. A. project this year should do this.


Logs were sold from the North Cemetery for $200.50 and the proceeds turned into the Town Treasury.
