"The idea of an adequate modern building must be planted in the minds of our citizens NOW."


It is manifestly our duty as trustees accurately to acquaint our fellow citizens with the increased com- plexity of the problems that face us with greater and greater urgency. The time is at hand to begin to plan intelligently and generously in order that we may be able in the days to come to administer our library service in the Town of Braintree with an adequacy and effectiveness commensurate with our needs.

REPORT OF THE BRAINTREE BOARD OF HEALTH


January 3, 1938.


To the Citizens of the Town of Braintree :


The Board of Health hereby submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1937.


For the year 1937 we had appropriated to us the sum of $350.00 for tuberculosis prevention work. This appropriation was for the nine months beginning April 1st and ending December 31st. This work has been carried on most satisfactorily by the Braintree Visiting Nurse Association, whose report follows.


The Dental Clinic has accomplished much under the supervision of Mr. Fisher, Superintendent of Schools. His report of the work done in 1937 follows this report.


At the Diphtheria Clinic held last spring under the supervision of Mr. Hedlund, the Health Officer, there were 333 children from the ages of 6 months to 12 years who received immunization. The value of this clinic is readily determined by the absence of a single case of diphtheria in the town for the last three years. However, this record can be maintained only so long as we continue to immunize a sufficient number of children to keep the immunity rate at its present level. The best age for a child to receive the treat- ments is at six months. Due notice will be published as to the dates of the clinics to be held this spring.


240


The Board of Health has been instrumental in having many sewer connections made wherever the sewer is available in the town, thereby eliminating nuisances and possible sources of contagion.


Inspections have been made of all cafes and res- taurants as to general sanitary conditions, and in or- der to conform with the department's rules and regu- lations many places of business have been required to install adequate toilet facilities.


We call your attention to the detailed reports of the various divisions of the department which follow this report-the summary of communicable diseases, the dental clinic, tuberculosis prevention, and the re- ports of the plumbing inspector and the inspector of meats and provisions.


Respectfullly submitted,


DWIGHT A. CHANDLER, Chairman DEANE R. WALKER, Clerk

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTAL CLINIC AS CONDUCTED BY THE BOARD OF HEALTH UNDER THE DIRECTION AND SUPER- VISION OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


During the Calendar year of 1937 it was impos- sible to get time to do any work for the school dental clinic in the Penniman, Hollis and Monatiquot schools.


241


In the present school year of 1937-1938. work in the Lincoln and Watson schools has been completed, and immediately after the Christmas vacation work will be started in the Jonas Perkins School. After work is completed in this school the clinic will go to the Penniman; Hollis and Monatiquot schools in this or -! der. Considering the work to be done, the appropria- " tion and the time, it has not yet been found possible to conduct the clinic for the first four grades in all the schools in any one school year, but during the present school year it seems now as though it might be possible to complete the clinic in all schools.


A brief statement as to the work may be of in- terest. The equipment is moved from one school to another and the dental work is performed by three different Braintree dentists. A woman is in attend- ance at all times to assist and relieve them of all cleri- cal work. A schedule of time is arranged for the den- tists so that work is being done during the entire school day from 9 to 12 A. M. and from 1:30 to 3:30 P. M. This work is done every school day just as long as the appropriation made permits.


During the year of 1937, $2,500.00 was available for this work, and $2,498.79 was spent, and $688.75 received, making a net cost to the Town for the School . Dental Clinic of $1,810.04. In the clinic work there were performed 31 cleanings, 2045 fillings, and 359 extractions, a total of 2755 operations.


Many of our chilidren in the Public Schools have not only been saved from much suffering, but for many it has meant a material improvement in their health. The School Dental Clinic is well worth while,


242


and perhaps as time goes on ways and means may be provided for extending the work to include chil- dren above the fourth grade.


Respectfully submitted,


C. EDWARD FISHER,


Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD


The Planning Board presents its report for the year 1937.


In November of 1937, Archie T. Morrison resigned from the Planning Board, after having given of his time on that Board for five years. During most of the period which he served, he was Secretary of the Board, and in that capacity was a pains-taking and valuable member. His foresight as to the needs of the town was keen and he had presented and urged many forward looking steps in town planning. He, at the present time, serves the town in another capacity as a member of the School Committee.


TRAFFIC STUDIES


As a result of traffic studies and recommendations made by the Planning Board, traffic islands have been constructed by the Braintree Highway Department at the intersection of Washington and Franklin Streets, South Braintree and at Norfolk Square, East Brain- trec. They were laid out by the Town Engineer ac- cording to plans approved by the Traffic Division Com- mission of the State Department of Public Works.


Both motorist and pedestrian have benefied greatly from the installation of these islands. The automo- biles are routed by the islands into non-conflicting lanes, while the pedestrians are safeguarded because they have to cross a smaller amount of roadway and at the same time need look in only one direction for oncoming cars.


258


The Planning Board intends, during 1938, to carry; on with these traffic studies at other hazardous inter- sections throughout the town, and to make further recommendations for the improvement of traffic con- ditions.


A NEW PLANNING BOARD ACT


Your Board desires to call to your attention a new Planning Board Act, enacted into law by the General Court under the Acts of 1936. It is covered by Chap- ter 211, Acts, 1936, as added to the General Laws Chapter 41. It is entitled, "An Act providing an im- proved method of Municipal Planning." It amends Section 70, Chapter 41, of the General Laws by add- ing several new sections. Its purpose is to provide im- proved regulations by defining the duties and powers of Planning Boards, where as the old Act was indefi- nite as to such particulars. On account of these and other possible advantages your Board is recommending its acceptance at our Town Meeting of this year. This action would put Braintree in line with the many cities and towns which have accepted this act.


COMPREHENSIVE TOWN PLAN


Your Planning Board believes that work on the comprehensive plan for this town should be resumed this year and is therefore requesting a small additional appropriation with which to continue this important work.


That such a plan will be of inestimable value to the town is beyond question. The population will con- tinue to increase at a more rapid rate in the future and


259


this situation will require new streets, playgrounds, 1 schools, parks and various other public improvements. ;


It is generally conceded that the most satisfactory and economical way in which to provide for such fa- cilities is to plan for them, well in advance of the time when they will be needed. There should be a well- co-ordinated plan for the future development of the town so that each step in the program will be in har- mony with all phases of the comprehensive plan. In preparing such a plan the various parts must be studied in relation to each other so that a park or a school building, for example, will not be located in the path of a future thoroughfare. Also by planning ahead projects may be executed at a time which will be best suited for other related work, thereby effecting considerable savings in cost by avoiding expensive changes and duplication of work.


Such a plan, however, must be based on facts the gathering of which involves considerable time and a moderate expense. A good start has already been made on this work as described in previous reports, and it is the belief of your Board that it should be taken up again this year, in order that the town may begin to reap the benefits of the work already done at the earliest possible moment.


FIRE STATION LOCATION


For several years past the Planning Board has in its report called attention to the inadequate and poor- ly located housing of the Fire Department equipment in East Braintree. No steps have yet been taken to rem- edy this situation. With the normal development of the


260


town, this will soon be an urgent problem. The Board, therefore recommends that consideration be given to the possibility of establishing a new station on a por- tion of the Adam's Street playground at the junction of 'Adams' and Commercial Streets; where town owned land would be available in a desirable location with- out injury to the present park facilities at that lo- cation.


..


: LIBRARY SITE


It is evident that the time is not far distant when this town will be seriously considering the matter of a new library. The need for improved and enlarged library facilities has been apparent for some time. The ! selection of a suitable site for the new building should


be made at this time while the land is available in a desirable location. Your Board recommends that steps be taken at once to acquire at least a portion of the land opposite the Town Hall for that purpose. It would be an admirable location for the proposed build- ing and situated so as to be a part of the development of a civic center for this town. It would be well to acquire as large a part of the French estate as the financial condition of the town will permit, in order that land will be available for future growth of the civic center. With some interior alterations the pres- ent library could be used to advantage as an annex to the Town Hall, thereby meeting an urgent need for additional space for town offices.


ZONING


Your Board proposes to give during the coming year, further consideration to the problem of Zoning. At the present tme 118 cities and towns have consid-


261


ered Zoning. Out of this group 84 have adopted Zon- ing regulations, mostly in the comprehensive form. The remainder of the group, 34 in number and includ- ing Braintree, have taken no final action. The chief purpose of modified Zoning is protection and stabili- zation, protection of residential property values, busi ness and industrial developments by common sense regulations best suited to local requirements. It should not restrict except as it may maintain protection to home owners and others who have investments in real property. It should contain provisions consistent with general public needs as to lot sizes, clearances and uses. By stabilizing values the Town Government is enabled to plan and funtion to better advantage. Zon- ing permits group action in order to acquire protection and stability for the whole group. The Federal Hous- ing Administration in insuring mortgages has imposed several conditions for compliance including Zoning of the area involved and enforcing of the Zoning regula- tions. Otherwise private restrictions must be provided which will prevent intrusions that might depreciate the investment. Also with the new trend in the writ- ing of long term mortgages of from 20 to 25 years on homes, modified and balanced Zoning should add greatly to the Safety of the investment for all inter- ests concerned.
