Members of the Wayland Garden Club kept the library well supplied with flowers all through the summer. In Novem- ber we had a most attractive harvest arrangement, and in De- cember a lovely Christmas one.
On January 1st, 1949 the total number of volumes in the library was 29,225. During 1949, 282 adult books and 221 juvenile books were added. In an effort to relieve the over- crowded shelves. 243 old fiction books, which had not circulated for over twenty years, were discarded. The books now in the library total 29,485. Mrs. Damon reports that at the Cochituate Branch Library 217 adult books and 84 juvenile books were added this year. The total number of volumes now in Cochit- uate is 7.005.

During the year 48 books have been rebound. 664 over- due notices have been sent out. Early in December, in an effort to get back many long overdue books, we held a "For- giveness Week", during which no fines were charged. How- ever, although this system has been very successful in other libraries, the results here were disappointing. due probably to insufficient advance publicity.
197 books were borrowed from other libraries, chiefly from Weston and Waltham, on a great variety of subjects, including photography, watch repairing, how to build boats and short-wave radio sets and how to raise tropical fish. The Massachusetts Division of Public Libraries was most helpful in locating many books for us, some of which were sent from as far away as Fall River and Pittsfield.
I feel that the decrease in circulation of juvenile books is due to the fact that, since school started in September, the children have not been coming into the library between 12 and 1 o'clock, as they did constantly last year. I understand that this has been caused by a shortening of the lunch hour, and
208
hope that it can be remedied, as the children who have to take busses now have no opportunity to come to the library.
89 new borrowers have been recorded in the library during 1949.
In closing my report, I should like to say that I regret very much that circumstances have made it impossible for me to remain as librarian. I wish to thank the Board of Library Trustees and the members of the library staff for all the help they have given me, and I wish to thank the townspeople of Wayland for having made my stay here such a happy one.
Respectfully submitted,
CORA STUART CURRIE,
Librarian.

REPORT OF WAYLAND WATER DEPARTMENT
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Wayland:
The Board organized with Fern A. Taylor, Chairman ; Alfred C. Damon, Clerk, and Charles Potter. John Phylis was appointed Superintendent and Charles Potvin, Stationary Engi- neer. Mr. G. Prentice Richardson was appointed Assistant Superintendent.
The Happy Hollow Well proved its worth this past summer supplying water to the town, with no shortage, while surround- ing towns were running short of water.
The Board recommends the sum of $989.91, which is the balance left in the Baldwin's Beach Building and Repair Funds, be turned over to the Park Department for future use at the new Bathing Beach site in Cochituate.
FERN A. TAYLOR, Chairman, ALFRED C. DAMON, Clerk, CHARLES POTTER.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS For the Year 1949
Your Cemetery Commissioners respectfully present the following report for the year 1949.
In the course of the year, we have received and paid over to the Town Treasurer seven additional Perpetual Care gifts amounting in all to $1,050.00 and providing for the care of eight lots, as follows :
The "W. H. and W. L. Griffin Fund," given by Mrs. Bertha Griffin and Mrs. Alice P. Griffin, for the Perpetual Care of Lot 114, Sec. F. Lakeview. $175.00
The "Amy Haskins Fund," a bequest of Amy Haskins, for the Perpetual Care of Lots 154 and 155 Extension, North Cemetery. 225.00
The "William S. Pollock Fund," given by William S. Pollock for the Perpetual Care of Lot 54, Sec. G., Lakeview. 125.00
The "John Pearce Fund," given by Mrs. John Pearce, for the Perpetual Care of Lot 67, Sec. F., Left Side, Lakeview. 125.00
The "Alfred W. Videon Fund," given by Alfred W. Videon for the Perpetual Care of Lot 67, Extension, North Cemetery. 150.00
The "Vernon Baker Fund," given by Mrs. Vernon Baker, for the Perpetual Care of Lot 67, Sec. F., Right, Lakeview. 100.00
The "Johnson-Rogers Fund," given by Anthony Rogers and Helen V. Johnson for the Per- petual Care of Lot 67, Sec. D., Lakeview. 150.00
These increase the number of funds to 170, and the amount so invested to $30,075.00.
211
Small payments by 79 owners, to the amount of $335.00, provided for the care of 81 other lots. It is expected that the revenue from this source will be largely increased in 1950 and succeeding years, as, following the vote of the Town at the Town Meeting in March 1949, all owners of lots not otherwise provided for will be required to pay each year a small fee for the care of their lots. These fees will be cumulative and all arrearages will be required to be paid before a further burial may be made in the lot. This will place the burden of care on the owner where it belongs, instead of on the Town.
Nine lots and three single graves were sold this year in Lakeview, two lots in the Center Cemetery and four in the North Cemetery. making in all fifteen lots and three single graves sold, with the returns amounting to $760.00.
Fifty burials have been made this year, as compared with fifty-one last year, and forty-two two years ago. Ten of these were in the North Cemetery, one in the Center, and forty in Lakeview. Only twelve of these were under 50 years of age; eight were in the 50 to 60 age group; one between 60 and 70; sixteen between 70 and 80. ten between 80 and 90; and one over 90 years of age.
The year has seen an almost complete change in the per- sonnel of the cemeteries. On July 1 the pension system adopted by the Town brought about the retirement of Charles L. Ful- lick. superintendent for more than twenty years; the two year extension, granted to those in office at the time of the adoption of the act, having expired.
Mr. Fullick had always taken a deep personal interest in the care of the cemeteries, and the fine condition in which the grounds were kept was a frequent subject of remark.
For the interim, William J. McCabe, an employe of many years' experience, was made Acting Superintendent, and handled the work in a completely satisfactory way. On Octo- ber 1 John Eric Nelson, a well known young man of Cochitu- ate, was chosen as Superintendent, from a field of ten appli- cants, and the ensuing three months have given the Commis- sioners no reason to regret their choice, for Mr. Nelson gives promise of developing into a very efficient Superintendent.
The needed enlargement of the North Cemetery seems now assured, as only the details of the purchase remain to be agreed on. Your Commissioners feel that the Town has made a wise
212
investment, which will provide space for all cemetery needs for years to come. Lakeview was similarly provided for last year, and with the very limited call for lots in the Center Cemetery, its present area seems sufficient.
This accomplishes one object that the board has had in view for more than ten years; to see that all the cemeteries were amply provided with land for future needs, while land could still be bought.
A limited area of the former Dammers property, lying adjacent to the present Lakeview Cemetery, has been roughly laid out into lots, and a twenty-five foot roadway laid out to reach them; and some development work is now being done.
In the latter half of the year, the tomb has been cleared out, the accumulated rubbish disposed of, and a practically com- plete new outfit of tools purchased.

And you are required to notify and warn the inhabitants of said Town qualified to vote in Town affairs to meet at the High School Gymnasium on
9
Wednesday, March 7, 1951
at 7:45 P.M., then and there to act on the following articles.
Article 1. To hear reports of the Town Officers, Agents and Committees, and act thereon.
Article 2. To choose all necessary Town Officers, Agents and Committees not elected by the official ballot.
Article 3. To grant money for necessary Town purposes. See Finance Committee Report
Article 4. To see if the Town will vote to fix the salary and compensation of all elective officers of the Town, as provided by Section 108, Chapter 41, General Laws, as amended, and set the effective date of such salary and compensation.
Since 1947, it has been necessary for the Town to fix, annually the salary or compensation of each elective officer.
The Finance Committee recommends that the salary for the elective officers be set as indicated in the budget and that they be effective from January 1, 1951.
Article 5. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to sell or otherwise dispose of the present police car in connection with the purchase of a new car, provided for in the budget of the Department, and will grant the School Committee the right to sell, or otherwise dispose of, obsolete furniture and equipment presently stored in the several school buildings, or do or act.
The sale or disposal of equipment requires a vote of the Town.
The Finance Committee recommends approval of the article.
Article 6. To see if the Town will authorize the Treasurer, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, to borrow money from time to time in anticipation of the revenue of the financial year beginning January 1, 1951 and to issue a note or notes
10
therefor, payable within one year, and to renew any note or notes as may be given for a period of less than a year, in accordance with Section 17, Chapter 44, General Laws.
The Finance Committee recommends the approval of the article.
Article 7. To see if the Town will appropriate sums of money for the following: (1) water coupon notes, water bonds and water registered note-maturing in 1951-payment of prin- cipal; (2) water coupon notes, water bonds and water registered note-payment of interest due in 1951; (3) Water Department maintenance; (4) Town office and clerical expense; (5) purchase of a new truck ;- the entire amount to be taken from "Water Available Surplus," or do or act.
The sums of money required in the above article are as follows: (1) Water Department-payment of principal $12,000; (2) Water Department-payment of interest $2,827.50; (3) Water Department-maintenance $21,000; (4) Town Office-clerical and expense $1,000; (5) Purchase of new truck $2,000-entire amount to be taken from "Water Available Surplus."
The Finance Committee recommends the approval of the article.
Article 8. To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and assess a sum of money for the reconstruction and improvement of Chapter 90 roads, said money to be used in conjunction with any money which may be allotted by the State or County, or both, for this purpose, the work to be done under the supervision of the Road Commissioners, or take any action in relation thereto.
During 1950, the Highway Department has made sub- stantial progress in rebuilding Main Street, Cochituate.
In 1951, it is proposed that the work be continued northerly from the end of the work completed last fall. The Town has petitioned the County and the State on the
11
basis of a Town contribution of $8,000, to be matched by $8,000 from the County and $16,000 from the State, and although in recent years the full allocation by the County and State has been rather slow in forthcoming, we have normally received the full allotment.
The Finance Committee has regularly and steadily felt that it is good business for the Town to do as much Chapter 90 construction work as possible and the Committee therefor recommends and approves of the article; the work to be done under the supervision of the Road Commissioners.
Article 9. To see if the Town will vote to raise and appro- priate, by borrowing, or otherwise, a sum of money for the in- stallation of water mains of not less than 6 inches in diameter in such accepted streets and town roads as may be recommended by the Water Board and approved by the majority of the Select- men and by a majority of the Finance Committee to authorize the Water Board, with the approval of the Selectmen, to enter into any necessary contracts and agreements or take any action rela- tive thereto.
At a Special Town Meeting in April of 1948 full con- sideration was given by the Town to the overall improvement of the water system. As a part of that program, it was concluded to establish a fund by which, under certain con- ditions, extensions could be made from time to time in such accepted streets and town roads as were specified in the study as falling in with the long range extension program.
In the program as originally recommended by the Water Survey Committee, $20,000 was appropriated for this pur- pose, and borrowing arrangements were provided. That fund will probably be exhausted early in 1951, and in order that the program may continue to move forward from time to time, it is recommended that an additional $10,000 be appropriated for the same purpose, to be handled in the same manner.
The Finance Committee therefore recommends the ap-
12
proval of the article and the appropriation and authorization for the borrowing of the sum of $10,000.
Article 10. To see if the Town will vote to appropriate and raise a sum of money for the installation of fire sprinkler systems in any or all of the school buildings and determine how the money shall be raised, by assessment, transfer, borrowing or otherwise, or do or act.
The Finance Committee, together with the Selectmen and the School Building Committee, a year ago made a joint study of the advisability of installing sprinklers in the Town's school buildings. The conclusion of this study was a recommendation to the Town that the installation of sprinklers be handled in three stages; first, the Center Grade School; second, the Cochituate Grade School; third, the High School. The first step was completed this year, as a result of which, there accrued to the town a saving of $1,300 over a three-year period in the insurance premium.
This article contemplates the installation of sprinklers this year in the Cochituate grammar school at a cost of about $10,000, subject to this figure's being brought up to date at the time of the Annual Meeting. It is estimated that the three-year saving in insurance on the Cochituate building would be about $4,400. Altogether, it represents the best insurance saving for the expenditure involved of any of the three projects.
The Finance Committee recommends the approval of this article.
Article 11. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the purchase of a bulldozer for the Highway Department and appro- priate a sum of money for the purpose, or do or act.
This matter came before the Town at the last Annual Meeting and was not approved. The Finance Committee fully set forth its objection to the purchase at that time. Since then the possible need for the equipment in any overall civilian defense program has strengthened the original argu-
13
ment for the purchase. The Finance Committee, however, feels that a piece of equipment as expensive as this, should be purchased over a two-year period. In its budget, there is included $5,000 for highway equipment which would nor- mally be used for the purchase of a heavy truck. It seems reasonable to the Finance Committee that if the bulldozer equipment is sufficiently important to the Highway Depart- ment, it could forego such purchase in the present year and carry over the appropriation, and with the addition of a similar appropriation next year, it would then be able to buy the bulldozer equipment.
The Finance Committee therefore does not recommend the approval of the article at this time.
Article 12. To see if the Town will vote to appoint a com- mittee to make a complete survey of the Fire Department and make recommendations to the Town with respect to a long- range program of capital expenditures involving fire stations, alarm system, and fire fighting equipment, and will vote to appropriate and assess a sum of money for the construction of housing for the Fire Department, additions to the alarm system and for the purchase of new trucks, or do or act.
The Finance Committee has steadily for the past several years pointed out that the Town is still faced with a heavy capital expenditure program for the Fire Department. Much of the equipment, as well as the station at Cochituate, should be replaced. The Town can probably handle the cost with- out undue burden, provided a reasonable program is worked out extending over a five- to ten-year period.
It appears to the Finance Committee, however, that a haphazard program, such as would be represented in the appropriation asked for in the seven subsequent articles asking for some $29,000, is not a reasonable approach to an expenditure program which will probably run in the early years to something over $60,000, and over a ten-year period to something approaching $100,000.
