REPORT OF THE TOWN ENGINEER


January 2, 1932.


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


Gentlemen :


I herewith respectfully submit the second annual report of the Engineering Department for the year end- ing December 31, 1931.


I have constantly endeavored to administer this de- partment as economically and efficiently as I believe the best interests of the Town would permit.


The problems of this department are many. We are handicapped by the fact that in former years the records of the utilities in our streets have not been kept up as they should have been, had proper engineering plans been made and kept in the Town Hall.


I believe that the time has come when the Town should have a Public Works Department, combining the present activities of the Highway, Water and Sewer De- partments. Only by such combination can the present lack of co-ordination, occasional friction and duplication of effort, be avoided.


When the citizens of the Town authorized the Select- men to appoint a Town Engineer, I blieve that it was their intention that all work of an engineering character for all departments should be done through his office.


Town Survey


At the Town Meeting held last March, the Town voted that this department should complete the survey of


173


the Town which was started by private engineers. The work is progressing satisfactorily, and will be completed by the first of April as planned. At the present time the field work is complete, and the men are now plotting the notes and compiling the plans. In many cases the name of the owners of land is not known and it is neces- sary to search the title at the Registry of Deeds, to de- termine the ownership. When these plans are complete, blueprints will be furnished to the Assessor's Office. The Town Survey, was started about five years ago, and it must be remembered that conditions in the Town are constantly changing. The plans that the Assessors are now using were made three and four years ago and in many cases do not show conditions as they are today ; also the records of ownership of the property have not been kept up to date. During the coming year I plan to bring the Assessor's Plans up to date and then it will be a simple matter to keep them up to date.


Water Department


During the coming year I am planning to bring up to date the plans of the Water Department, showing the locations and ties to the water gates, etc. The original plans were made a few years ago at considerable expense, and if they are not kept up to date they will soon be obsolete.


School Department


This department has made plans and studies of pos- sible locations for future school sites, at the request of the School Department.


Park Department


This department has furnished lines, grades, esti-


174


mates, and specifications for the construction of a skat- ing rink in the Watson Playground. We have also made a study of the possibility of relocating and improving the ball diamond at the Watson Playground.


House Numbers


Through the co-operation of the Building Inspector, it is now necessary for a person applying for a permit to get the correct house number before a permit is is- sued. This department has issued 131 house numbers during the year.


Planning Board


Realizing the importance of the Town Planning Board, and knowing that they were handicapped by the lack of headquarters, I have offered them the use of this office as their meeting place, and space to store their records.


Betterment Streets


Upon the following named streets, that have been accepted and built under the Betterment Act, betterment assessments have been computed by this department : Bower Road; Burroughs Road; Dewey Ave., Edgehill Road; Edgemont Road; Fairview Ave., Trefton Drive and Walnut Street.


In response to petitions upon the following streets, grades have been established, street lines defined, record plans drawn and descriptions written by this depart- ment: Audubon Ave .; Cedarcliff Rd .; Edgemont Road ; Fairfield St .; Miller St .; Newton Ave. and Trefton Drive. Subsequently the Selectmen reported said streets to the Town for acceptance under the Betterment Act. At the


175


annual Town Meeting it was voted not to accept said streets as and for public ways.


The following named streets were accepted as and for public ways: Kew Road; Totnes Road; Strathmore Road and Haven Road. No money was appropriated for the construction of said streets and no betterments are to be assessed in connection with acceptance.


Vault


Soon after the Police Department vacated its quar- ters in the basement of the Town Hall, work was started in the moving of the public cloak room to its new location in the former police cell room. A new men's room was also built in one of the old cell rooms. The former men's room has been made over into the public office of this de- partment, and a fireproof vault has been built in the area formerly occupied by the check room. This department now has ample quarters and storage space to provide for some time to come. All valuable plans and engineering data are now kept in the vault.
