REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
In February 1915 a case of measles was reported on Salem street. Other cases were soon reported from the Lincoln school and the disease spread rapidly until all schools in town were infected. In four months measles were reported in more than three hundred seventy-five families having children in school, and the total number of cases must have reached at least six hundred and probably more, with at least four deaths directly of indirectly.
In several instances half of the pupils in a room were absent at a time.
In almost all cases the law and the regulations of the Board of Health were carefully observed. The cases were reported, the house placarded, and all children of infected families kept out of school. The directions to teachers were to send home at once all pupils show- ing signs of the disease. But all our efforts had no effect whatever in stopping the spread. In practically all the school rooms not more than one or two susceptible pupils failed to contract the disease. It is my firm belief that if no precautions whatever had been taken the epidemic would not have been more severe, or resulted more seriously. The fact that measles is highly contagious before a diagnosis is made in most instances, and that parents as a whole consider it a slight and necessary disease render the present means of combating such an epidemic almost if not entirely useless. Unless some future means are found we shall witness a repetition of epidemic as soon as we have a sufficient number of susceptible pupils in school.
The so-called serious contagious diseases, Scarlet Fever, and Diphtheria have not gained a foothold in our school population. We have had quite a number of cases during the year but nothing re- sembling an epidemic, and so far as I know no contagion in these diseases has been traced to the school.
Aside from the measles epidemic the health of the children has been in the main good and fairly free from the contagious and parasi- tic skin diseases. Eternal vigilance is the price of the latter con- dition.
The Principals and Teachers have cooperated with the School Physician in fullest degree and it is in a large measure due to their care and watchfulness that cases are called to my attention. The entire benefit of medical inspection cannot be realized until some way is devised to care for those children whose parents neglect to take seriously the advice given. These are a small proportion however. The Attendance Officer has been of material assistance in dealing with the parents.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
I herewith submit a report of the work of the Highway Depart- ment for the year ending Dec. 31, 1915.
The amounts asked for in our estimates for this year were in accordance with the plan of 1913, with the exception of the appro- priation for Lowell street and the accounts made necessary by the change in the accounting system. To these estimates were added, by the vote of the town, $2,000 to cover the raise in the laborers pay from $2.25 to $2.50 and $10,000 for the unemployed.
The original amounts asked for in the general highway appro- priation would not have covered more than the general cleaning, oiling and repair work, so it was thought best to divide the $10,000 with the other accounts.
An endeavor has been made to do some extensive work in each section which could not ordinarily have been done from the regular appropriation. In some sections the allotment has been overrun, due in some cases to the heavy rains and the resultant washouts and in others to the construction work.
The cost of oiling has been exceptionally small, and more ground has been covered owing to the low cost of Asphaltic oils this year.
An excellent gravel pit has been opened on the Town Farm where sufficient gravel can be obtained for years to come. The Highway Department should be given the use of this as the land is unfit for cultivation.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To this account are charged all supplies and repairs that are not chargeable to the Sections or other accounts. As the supplies are used, this account is credited and the charge made to the proper account.
From this account was purchased the 7-ton tandem roller which was rented last year from the Buffalo Steam Roller Co. with the understanding that the rental price of $500 should be deducted from the selling price of $2,150 if the town decided to buy. This year it was decided that the town could not afford to buy the roller at $2,150 but that it could for $1,700. This price was finally accepted by the Buffalo Steam Roller Co. The roller was not used the whole season owing to the lateness in concluding the negotiations, but it gave excellent satisfaction for the remainder of the season and should prove very economical and valuable on sidewalk, patching and general work for which the 15-ton roller is too heavy and cumbersome.
From this account are also taken the maintenance of the horses and equipment, conpensation insurance and water charges for drinking fountains and horse troughs.
125
REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
SIDEWALKS
There have been more gravel sidewalks built and repaired this year than has been the custom in recent years and less tar concrete. Sec. No. 1. Practically all of the walks have received a coating of gravel. Sec. No. 5. All walks south of Albion street have been re- paired. Sec No. 6 Richardson, Bennett, Melvin and Charles streets have all had work done on the sidewalks. Sec. No. 7. Oak street has had two new sections built and the rest coated with gravel from Nahant street to beyond Greenwood avenue. Sec. No. 8. A new section was built near Spring street and the rest repaired as far as Crystal street. Sec. No. 9. A dangerous condition was relieved at the corner of Nahant and Farm streets by removing a large elm tree, cutting away the bank and building a new walk. From the Town Farm to Oak street the walk was given a coating of gravel. On Montrose avenue a new walk was built from Water street to the last houses in the section.
Several granolithic walks have been built this year, part by contract and part by the department laborers. Those let by con- tract costing $1.75 per sq. yd. and that built by the department $1.25 per sq. yd.
On permanent sidewalks $2,331.01 has been spent.
SNOW
For plowing and removing snow and sanding sidewalks $963.78 was spent of the $1,000 set aside for this work.
PATROL
The sum of $1,000 was set aside for patroling and cleaning the Square and adjacent streets, Albion and Chestnut streets and North avenue. Owing to the increase in wages the amount set aside was not sufficient to carry the work through the whole year so the excess amount was taken from the general Highway account.
SECTION NO. 1
On the request of the Montrose Improvement Association prac- tically all of the sidewalks in this section were given a coating of gravel and repaired. Salem street near the Lynnfield line was widened and raised about 15 inches and the rest of the street patched to the junction of Lowell and Salem streets. Lowell street was also patched. A total of 402 double loads of gravel were used in this section of which 65 loads were given by Mr. R. C. Atkinson and 169 loads by Mr. P. A. Bruorton.
126
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
SECTION NO. 2
The principal work in this section was the resurfacing of Main street from the Square to Pearl street. This was a badly worn water-bound macadam road. It was first scarified, then harrowed with a heavy tooth-harrow and shaped with a road machine and then sprinkled thoroughly to wash the dirt from the stones. After rolling, two to four inches of crushed stone were applied into which was penetrated 1.9 gal. of Tarvia X per sq. yd. This work cost $.46 per sq. yd.
In previous years the section of Main street from the Rockery to Reading line has been given a blanket coat of a 60 degree asphaltic oil which has not successfully resisted the action of the combined iron tired and automobile traffic. This year as much as possible of the old oil was removed by scraping and picking, the depressions filled with tar and crushed stone and later a coat of Tarvia B and sand applied using approximately .4 gal. of Tarvia "B" per sq. yd. This treatment seems to have worn much better than the previous ones and another application will form a very fair wearing surface.
Drainage: The heavy rains of this season made it necessary to spend a considerable amount of money in this section for repairing washouts and cleaning drains.
Oiling: This section owing to its being the largest and having in it the centre of the town requires a large amount of oil of different grades to suit the various types of streets. 4200 gal. Texas 45 degree asphaltic oil were used on the gravel and soft roads, 4530 gals. of Tasscoil were used on the hard macadam and paving block; 1400 gals. of Headley No. 22 were used on the heavily travelled macadam streets; 4800 gals. Tarvia "B" used on Main street.
SECTION NO. 3
A demand was made for the work on North avenue to be con- tinued from Chestnut street to Avon street. This was done and paid for from the sectional account. The other heavy accounts were those of oiling which amounted to $531.64. Cleaning amounting to $210- 51 and drainage amounting to $258.80.
SECTION NO. 4
The principal work in this section was the construction of Park avenue drain. This was started immediately after the money for the Unemployed was voted by the town as it could be started imme- diately and a large number of men employed. It was also a much needed improvement as this street has been costing the town a large amount each year for repairs caused by washouts. A 12-inch tile drain was laid from the foot of Park avenue hill to Morrison road
127
REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
with eleven catch basins placed at necessary points. One-fourth of the cost was charged to Section No. 5 because approximately that amount of the water was diverted from that section by the drain. Other hills in this section have been badly washed several times this past season and it is safe to say that this drain has already saved the town a considerable amount of money in preventing washouts.
SECTION NO. 5
The principal work in this section was the reconstruction of Albion street from the B. & M. R.R. to Murray street. This street was in a bad condition and made an unsightly approach to the town. As North avenue was being reconstructed it seemed a fitting time to do this work although it caused the sectional account to overrun. Nearly all of the sidewalks south of Albion street were given a coat- ing of gravel, using 220 double loads. One-fourth of the cost of Park avenue drain was charged to this section.
SECTION NO. 6
A new drain was laid to take the water from Bennett to Melvin street. The sidewalks on parts of Bennett, Melvin and Richarson streets were coated with gravel. A new walk was built on Charles street near the new wall at the head of Birch Hill avenue. The portion of Franklin street built last year, as an experiment, using the Municipal Light Plant tar as a binder, gave some trouble on account of its bleeding but after a treatment with Tarvia "B" it has sealed up and is in a very satisfactory condition.
SECTION NO. 7
The Greenwood Playground Association has given the Highway Department permission to use the gravel and stone on the property between the Playground and High street in order to make an approach to the field. This gravel (1280 single loads) was used on Green and Oak streets. Oak street was straightened to conform with the County Commissioners' order of 1896, and the grade of both the street and sidewalk raised across the low meadow land. Beside the gravel from the Playground, 333 double loads and 43 single loads were hauled from the Town Farm pit to Oak street.
SECTION NO. 8
Greenwood street was scarified, the large boulders removed, shaped with a road machine and then rolled from Myrtle avenue to the Melrose line, a distance of 4000 feet for the sum of $124. Later several narrow places were widened and the grade raised, and a new
128

sidewalk built near Spring street.
Forest street. Some work was done on this street in filling with material from Main street and removing part of the ledge on the lower hill to widen to a 20-foot roadway.
Merriam street was widened and filled with material from Main street.
SECTION NO. 9
The work done in this section was recommended by the Ninth District Improvement Association.
Montrose avenue. A sidewalk was constructed from Water street to the last house in this district. The street was also raised and graded where necessary and put in better condition.
The dangerous condition existing at the corner of Farm and Nahant streets was relieved by removing a large elm tree and cutting away the bank and building a sidewalk. The walk from this point to Oak street was given a coating of gravel.
Water street. The sidewalks were repaired where necessary and the bridge near Melvin street replanked.
PERMANENT CONSTRUCTION
The $6000 note issued for this year was used to construct six- inch Tarvia macadam roadways on Main street from the Greenwood station to Green street, a distance of 3168 feet, and on North avenue from Chestnut to Albion street.
These streets were constructed in the following manner: the old road was excavated to six inches below finished grade and rolled ; on this foundation was placed six inches of two to three-inch crushed stone and rolled to four inches; on this was placed three inches of one to two-inch stone, lightly rolled and one and one-half gallons of Tarvia "X" applied to the square yard. This was covered with stone chips and thoroughly rolled after which was applied another coat of three-fourths of a gallon of Tarvia to the square yard, covered with chips and again rolled. Next year the finish coat of Tarvia "B" and sand will be applied giving a smooth dustless surface.
The approach to the railroad crossing at Chestnut street was finished in a different manner. Instead of using the small one to two-inch stone on top, the coarse two to three-inch stone was used and the Tarvia applied in one application leaving the surface rough enough to give the horses a footing when pulling up the grade.
The total square yards built on these two streets was 7410 at an average cost of $.81 per sq.yd.

The work on this street was done in accordance with the specific repairs ordered by the County Commissioners in their Return of December 8, 1914.Of the $6000 spent on this street this year, $2000 was alloted by the State Highway Commissioners from the Motor Vehicle Fund, and $2000 from the County Commissioners and $2000 appropriated by the Town.
The construction was started at Vernon street and completed for 2000 feet towards Main street and the foundation widened and filled for 400 feet further. This covers the most difficult and ex- pensive part of the work to be done on Lowell street. The founda- tion was very poor necessitating a gravel fill of six to fifteen inches the whole distance and a widening of approximately six feet across the meadow.
The portable crushing outfit was moved from Greenwood to the estate of Mr. Junius Beebe where 2334 loads of gravel and stone were obtained for this work.
Practically the same form of construction was used here as on Main street except that the lower course of stone was filled with sand.
I am submitting a summary of the sectional accounts, showing how the money has been divided and spent in the nine sections of the town.
