ARTICLE 2.
Mr. Malcolm submitted the following report of the Committee appointed to investigate Drainage on South- erly side of Wildwood Avenue, Braintree Highlands:
The Committee appointed to investigate the drain- age situation on the southerly side of Wildwood Avenue has met several times during the past year and has made an intensive study of the condition that exists. From the study, it was concluded that the flooding situation has been caused by the new roads which have been built off the north side of Milton Road. Storm drains were installed on all these new streets and the flow of water has been directed into this low area by open culverts. Several courses of action to eliminate the condition have been considered by this Committee but what seems to be the mest solution to the problem at a nominal cost would be to pipe the brook on the Northerly side of Wildwood Ave- nue, a distance of 150 feet; install 44 feet of 42" metal pipe under Wildwood Avenue; install 2 manholes and 2 catch basins; and supply 1,000 cubic yards of fill to prop- erly direct the flow of water into the newly installed cul- verts. The total cost for this work would be $3,326.00 and is included in the Highway Deparement budget.
This Committee recommends very strongly that this part of the budget be voted on favorably as they realize this condition is an irritation and a source of great worry for parents. It is a matter of great concern to a neigh- borhood which fundamentally is excellent and one in which the inhabitants take much pride.

Your Flood Control Committee reports as follows:
1. A meeting was held with Division of Waterways, arranged be Representative Hollis. Reqquests were made for a study of the Monatiquot and Smelt Brooks for the purpose of determining close approximation of actual cost to effect certain steps of improvement. No report has been obtained to date.
2. A meeting was heid with the Weymouth Com- mittee. The Weymouth Committee agreed to insert an article in their warrant to appropriate $15,000 to match Braintree's $15,000 to install a culvert .under the New Haven Railroad at Weymouth Landing.
3. Through the efforts of Mr. Hollis, the Depart- ment of Waterways has agreed to cooperate in the in- stallation of the Weymouth Landing culvert up to an expenditure of $15,000. This means that while Weymouth and Braintree must appropriate the total cost of the project (approximately $30,000), the acual cost to the towns will be only about $7,500 each when completed.
