This, and the following three articles calling for improvement of streets and water systems under the Betterment Act, have been properly processed and are ready for consideration by the Town. This particular article involves a relocation and reconstruction of 3,700 feet of road, with the necessary change in drainage on Edge- wood Road, Ridgefield Road, Fairfield Road and Parkridge Road, and the installation of 1,850 feet of water line. The cost of the job is estimated at $22,200.00 for the road, drainage, and engineering, and $9,500.00 for the water line, making a total of $31,700.00
This is the type of improvement which the Finance Committee has normally favored, since, over a period of years, half of the ex- penditure would be returned through betterment taxes and a real benefit would inure to the Town through the improvement.
18
To complete the betterment program requested in this and the following articles would involve an expenditure of approximately $50,000.00. This would increase the tax rate by about $5.50. In a year in which the normal expenses of operating the Town have risen sharply - some $70,000.00 - and when there are other unusually large capital expenditures which should not be postponed - School and Fire Department programs totalling some $300,000.00, of which $35,000.00 is scheduled to be raised in the tax rate for 1952 - the Finance Committee feels that the expenditures requested in this and the following articles should be deferred and brought up for recon- sideration next. year.
The Finance Committee therefore recommends that this article be passed over.
Article 21. To see if the Town will vote to install water pipes and hydrants in the ways named in the foregoing article, or in any portion thereof, and to appropriate a sum of money for the expense thereof and determine how the money shall be raised; and will authorize such sum, or any portion thereof, to be included in any betterments that may be assessed under the preceding article, or take any action relative thereto.
For the reason stated under the previous article, the Finance Committee recommends that the article be passed over.
Article 22. To see if the Town will vote to accept as public town ways, under the' provisions of the Betterment Act, the roads known as "Blossom Lane" and "Westway Road", or either of them, or a portion of them as laid out by the Board of Selectmen, and as shown on a plan, or plans, on file with the Town Clerk, and authorize the Board of Selectmen to acquire necessary land by eminent domain, purchase, gift, or otherwise, and appropriate a sum of money for the acquisition of any such land and the construction of such way, or ways, or any portion thereof, and determ- ine how the money should be raised, or take any action relative thereto.
This article calls for improvement and acceptance of 1,775 feet of Blossom Lane and Westway Road at a cost of $3,500.00. The roads were originally laid out under Planning Board control and require only surface reconstruction and a limited amount of drainage.
For the same reasons as stated under Article 20, the Finance Committee recommends that this Article be passed over.
19
Article 23. To see if the Town will vote to accept as public town ways, under the provisions of the Betterment Act, the roads known as "Timber Lane", "Haven Lane" and "Eden Road", or a portion thereof, as laid out by the Board of Selectmen and as shown on a plan, or plans, on file with the Town Clerk, and authorize the Board of Selectmen to acquire necessary land by eminent domain, purchase, gift, or otherwise and to appropriate a sum of money for the acquisition of any such land and the construction of such way, or any portion thereof, and determine how the money shall be raised, or take any action relative thereto.
This article calls for improvement and acceptance of about 2,000 feet of Timber Lane, Haven Lane and Eden Road at a cost of $5,650.00. These roads were originally laid out under Planning Board control and require only surface reconstruction. A limited amount of drainage is needed for which the developer has agreed to provide the necessary funds.
For the same reasons as stated under Article 20, the Finance Committee recommends that this article be passed over.
Article 24. To see if the Town will vote to accept as public ways the following roads, or any of them, or any portion thereof, as laid out by the Board of Selectmen, and as shown on plans on file with the Town Clerk; and to authorize the Board of Selectmen to acquire any necessary land or interests therein by deed or gift and/or by eminent domain without any appropriation of money for further construction of any of said roads, under the Betterment Act, or otherwise; or take any action relative thereto, the roads above referred to being the following:
Woodridge Road, from Cochituate Road to Fox Meadow Lane; Fox Meadow Lane, from Woodridge Road to Shaw Drive;
Shaw Drive, from a point about 650 feet southerly from Old Con- necticut Path to a point about 2,900 feet southerly from Old Con- necticut Path:
Happy Hollow Road, from Cochituate Road to Rice Spring Lane; Rice Spring Lane, from Happy Hollow Road to Goodman Lane.
This article contemplates the acceptance of certain roads in Woodridge subdivision where lots have been sold, houses erected, water installed and roads built according to Planning Board regula-
20
tions. It is proposed that the roads now be accepted without any expenditure by the Town for further construction, without assessment of betterments, and without any taking by eminent domain, the land to be given to the Town by the owners, who will pay all costs of transfer of title. The owners have agreed to make minor changes in drainage suggested by the Highway Department. No work is to be done on Woodridge Road. On Shaw Drive, a culvert and two catch basins are to be installed and on Rice Spring Lane, a catch basin is to be lowered and the surface given an additional coat of bitumin- ous treatment.
The Finance Committee recommends the approval of the article and the acceptance of the roads after the work has been completed to the satisfaction of the Highway Department.
Article 25. To see if the Town will appoint a committee to study the adoption of a Board of Public Works.
This is a matter which has been discussed from time to time and the article is introduced by the Dudley Pond Improvement Asso- ciation for the purpose of making a full investigation.
The Finance Committee recommends the appointment of a com- mittee to consist of seven members - one each from the Road Com- missioners, the Water Commissioners, the Cemetery Commissioners, the Park Board, the Finance Committee and two members-at-large chosen by these so designated, and that a report be submitted at the next Annual Meeting.
Article 26. To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By-Laws as follows: to change from a residential to a business district that portion of the land on the southerly side of State Road East and Old Connecticut Path owned by Harold J. Lundy and Sally A. Lundy, bounded and described as follows:
According to the plan of land formerly owned by Helen L. Clifford, and conveyed to petitioners as follows: Bounded easterly by the Weston-Wayland line to a depth of 300 lineal feet from the State Road East to a point; thence westerly about 300 lineal feet in a par- allel line to State Road East and Old Connecticut Path to a point; thence northerly 300 lineal feet along Westway Road to Old Con- necticut Path; thence northeasterly 232.20 lineal feet along Old
21
Connecticut Path; and 55.41 lineal feet along State Road East to a point of beginning,
or do or act.
The amendment to the Zoning Laws here suggested is one on which the Planning Board will make a full report to the Town, and the Finance Committee feels that the Town should be guided by the recommendations so made.
Article 27. To see if the Town will vote to transfer from available funds, the sum of $25,000.00 to meet any of the appropriations made in the foregoing articles.
The Finance Committee recommends the approval of this article. And you are required to serve this Warrant by posting copies thereof, attested by you, at the Town Hall, at each Post Office in Town, and at the Legion Hall, at Cochituate, seven days, at least, before the time of holding said election.
Hereof fail not and make due return of this Warrant with your doings. thereon to the Town Clerk on or before March 3, 1952.
Given under our hands and seal this thirty-first day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee deems it to be an annual responsibility to report to the Town its stewardship of the "Reserve Fund." The follow- ing breakdown accounts for the $10,041.68 transferred: Treasurer - expense, $656.00; Town Counsel and Legal Claims, $2,913.00; Fire Department - expense, $1,244.00; Highway - Snow Removal, $2,007.00; Water Department - maintenance, $590.00; Cemetery De- partment, $1,149.00; the remaining $1,482.00 to 18 other accounts.
Set up last year within the Reserve Fund for Civilian Defense in case of need was $2,500.00 of which $141.90 was expended and the balance of $2,358.10 was included in the total of $2,458.32 returned to the Town Treasury. With world conditions remaining unsettled $2,500.00 is again provided under the same restrictions.
There are a number of items in the budget calling for comment. (1) Funds for Town office supplies frequently purchased jointly and used by the Collector, Accountant, Assessors, Selectmen, and Building Inspection Department have all been combined in a single account -- and corresponding amounts deducted from the individual expense ac- counts. (2) Sufficient additional funds have been provided to assure the publication in 1952 of the valuation list. (3) The expenses of the Town Treasurer in 1951 and 1952 have been higher than normal to provide for modern equipment.
The total cost of local government in Wayland continues to rise with increases in salaries and wages accounting for most of the lift - but a substantial part arises out of the growth of the town. Generally speaking, no new services are being added - and no old services ex- panded except to care for the growth in population. The overall assess- ment of real estate increased about $800,000.00 in 1950 and may well approach that figure again in 1951.
The 1952 budget, as reported, amounts to $610,815.50, an increase of $75,818.00 over 1951.
The increase of 1951 over 1950 amounted to $41,200.00, 1950 over 1949 - $77,000.00; 1949 over 1948 - $81,500.00.
23
The principal items increased are as follows:
Assessors' Maps
$1,200.00
Town Hall Maintenance 1,350.00
Police Department 1,600.00
Highway - New Equipment 1,000.00
Highway Lighting
1,000.00
Aid to Dependent Children
5,800.00
Old Age Assistance 12,000.00
Schools
44,400.00
Preliminary Town Expense - Betterments
3,000.00
Relocation Oak Street - Water Main 2,600.00
Cemeteries
2,700.00
The articles as recommended in 1952 amount to $308,000.00 com- pared with $47,985.00 voted in 1951. The amounts involved in the 1952 recommendations are as follows:
Chapter 90 - New Construction $5,000.00
Fire Department (about) 87,500.00
School Department
215,000.00
Veterans Foreign Wars - rent 500.00
of these amounts - (1) $6,942.02 it is proposed be transferred from items included in the tax rate of previous years - (2) $10,000.00 was voted at Special Meetings in 1951 and will be included in the 1952 tax rate - (3) $31,000.00 would be directly in the 1952 tax rate and - (4) $260,000.00 would be raised through borrowing.
This year the Town is being asked to pass on the second major step in the expansion of the school plant and the first stage in the moderniza- tion of the Fire Department building and equipment. Both departments will over the next five to ten years need further major capital outlays. If new house construction continues at the current rate of about 150 houses a year, the Water Department requirements for additional capital outlay will likewise have to be provided for within a matter of a few years. The pressure of increased expense resulting from growth will make it mandatory that the Town explore every possibility of economy.
In recent years there have been more and more calls on the Town for road and water work under the Betterment Act - so much so that it seems desirable that some sort of plan be worked out by which a limit could be set on the dollar total which would be set aside in any one year
24
for Betterments - for, obviously, there is a limit which the Town can stand regardless of the worthiness of the project or the willingness of abutters to pay a portion of the expense.
Provision should be made in the Town Hall to accommodate the office of the Town Clerk. The volume of records and the number of calls are such that it is too much to expect or ask of anyone holding the position that the individual's home be used as a Town office. Under such an arrangement it would be proper for the service to the public that some sort of office hours be established.
The Water Department is particularly to be commended for the forward strides it has made. Under the billing and collection arrange- ment through the Town Hall initiated two years ago, the collection of all forms of revenue has vastly improved, to the point where uncollected bills on the first of 1952 had been reduced to about $1,000.00 out of 1951 gross billings of $50,000.00. The station and equipment are in fine condition - a real credit to the superintendent and his men - and the field clerical work which has previously had to be neglected is now being put in good shape. There should, however, be no let up in the program to lay away in Water Available Surplus funds for future expansion of the plant, and the Commissioners are quite conscious of the need for following such a course.
