The Chairman appointed the entire Board as the Committees on Po- lice and Fire Departments, Town Hall, Highway and Licenses. The Chair- man continued as a Committee of One to handle Soldiers' Relief.


The Selectmen purchased, after receiving authorization of the Annual Town Meeting, a Seagrave Aerial Ladder Truck, and it was placed into service early in December. The sum of $15,000 was paid for the new piece of apparatus and $1,600 was given as allowance for the old ladder truck, which was fifteen years old. The Fire Department is now very well equipped to combat fires and is more modern than many of the larger municipalities in the Commonwealth. We recommend that the Town accept the recom- mendation of the Chief of the Department that two "spare men" be em- ployed during the vacation period. In adopting this recommendation, it will not be necessary to add a permanent man to care for the operation of the new ladder truck. We believe that it will be necessary to replace the present combination at Greenwood within the next year or so.


76


TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


The Board has purchased a new police ambulance, in accordance with instructions of the Annual Town Meeting. This machine is thoroughly equipped for the safety and convenience of its passengers. It is an ah- solute necessity in the community.


We recommend the purchase of a new police car to replace the present one, which has been in constant use since April, 1924.


The Selectmen requested the Civil Service Commission to conduct an examination for the position of sergeant in the Police Department, at the solicitation of the Chief. The examinations were held and a certi- fied list of successful applicants has been submitted by the Commission. We recommend the appointment of two sergeants and one additional pa- trolman in the interests of greater efficiency in the Department. This will mean the addition of one man to the Department.


The past year witnessed the installation of the first traffic signal in the Town, located at Vernon and Lowell streets. This corner, with the permission of the County Commissioners, was widened and is no longer considered dangerous, having been the scene of several accidents in re- cent years. The traffic signals were erected with the kind co-operation of the Municipal Light Board.


The Selectmen have taken steps to install traffic signals at the inter- sections on West Chestnut Street, at Emerson and Cedar streets, and sug- gest that consideration be given by the incoming Board to the intersec- tions at Albion and Main Streets, Main and Water streets and Oak and Main streets.


We are recommending to the Town that, providing financial assistance can be obtained from the State and County, Albion street from Byron street to the Stoneham line, be rebuilt, and thus finish the construction project commenced a few years ago.


The Board recommends, providing financial assistance can be ob- tained as previously stated, that the dangerous curve be eliminated on Lowell street, between Main and Vernon streets. This should be done to prevent further accidents at this section of the road.


The Board also recommends that Salem street, at the Lynnfield town line, be rebuilt, providing State and County aid is given. This stretch of the road has sunk and is in very dangerous condition.


Although the Highway Superintendent has covered the work of that department in detail, we desire to discuss here the Oak street widening, for which the Town appropriated $8,000. The County Commissioners, after several hearings, awarded damages to abutters in the amount of $2,100. and gave authority to widen the street to 55 feet from Main Street to Fran- cis avenue, and 40 feet from this point to Green Street. The Highway Department was unable to complete the work this year for several reasons, the principal ones being insufficient money and the proposed extension of the sewer from Main streeet to a point opposite the Fire Station. The


77


REPORT OF SELECTMEN


Board intends to rebuild the street as far as Oak Street and Francis avenue the coming year. We believe that this widening should be extended to Nahant street within the next few years, and when completed, much of the heavy traffic on Main Street via Wakefield Square, to Newburyport turnpike, will be diverted through improved Oak street.


We recommend that plans be made for the reconstruction of Albion street from Main street to North avenue, and the elimination of one set of car tracks. We are of the opinion that the merchants suffer financial losses because of the present crowded traffic conditions on this street. Al- bion street is in the business center of the Town and entitled to primary consideration by the Town. It will be necessary to reset the water and gas mains, undoubtedly, and perhaps the sewer. We would recommend that all overhead wires be placed underground. Inasmuch as this im- provement will no doubt be very expensive, we recommend that the Town create a bond issue for the purpose of carrying out the same.


In accordance with the General Laws of the Commonwealth, the Read- ing and Lynnfield town lines were perambulated this year. The law re- quires that these lines be viewed once every five years.


In accordance with instructions of the Annual Meeting, the Selectmen employed Weston & Sampson, Engineers, in April, to conduct a drainage survey of the Town. The engineers were requested to advise the Board on how to proceed, so that the initial appropriation might bring about relief to those suffering the most and yet aid the general situation. This survey has been made and a very satisfactory report has been rendered. On account of numerous other important matters before the Board at the end of the fiscal year, the report was laid on the table until next year, when the engineers will be invited to confer with the Board, with a view of pre- senting a definite report to the Town at the Annual Meeting.


In the Fall of the year the Board of Selectmen, upon advice of the Highway Superintendent, closed the Linden street bridge, commonly known as the "Greenwood Bridge," as unsafe for vehicular traffic. Our action was approved by the County Commissioners. Members of the Board, with the Town Counsel, and Highway Superintendent, have been in con- ference with officials of the Boston & Maine Railroad and the County Com- missioners, discussing the erection of a new bridge. The Board has con- sulted Morse & Dickinson, well known experts in this line, with a view to keeping down the expense of same to a minimum. As we approach the new year, the Board is still in conference with the above named par- ties, anticipating that a portion of the expense will be borne by the Rail- road.


Improvements were made in the basement of the Town Hall under the direction of the Selectmen during the year, so that greater use may be made of it. Brick walls have been built around the boiler room, and another room that has been set aside for the liquor taken in police raids. The Board intends to set aside a section of the basement for the use of the


78


TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


police in rifle practice. A cement floor has been laid throughout the cel- lar. It is proposed that the ceiling be covered with sheetrock, during the coming year.


In conclusion, we desire to express our sincere appreciation to the other Town Officers, who have co-operated with us during the year. The Board wishes to especially thank Mr. Harry A. Simonds, the Clerk, for the able assistance which he rendered during the year.


THOMAS F. KENNEY, Chairman, NED C. LOUD, Secretary, CHARLES F. YOUNG, J. THEODORE WHITNEY, WILLIAM BLANCHARD.

WATER FILTRATION PLANT


The Slow Sand Filtration Plant located on Broadway east of the Pump- ing Station, put in operation on February 9, 1928, at 9 P. M., has served. to greatly improve the Town's water supply.


The grading and seeding of the grounds surrounding the filtration plant has made a very attractive spot.


The filtration plant is composed of two aerators which aerate the water before filtering. Each aerator has a capacity of 1,250,000 gallons per day. Also two slow-sand filters in which the aerated water is filtered through three feet of sea sand. Each filter has a capacity of 1,250,000 gallons per day.

PUMPING STATION


Pumps


One of the steam pumping engines installed in 1883 has been retained as a standby in the event of failure of electric power. The other steam pumping engine has been removed to make room for the new low-lift and high-lift motor driven centrifugal pumps. These pumps have a capacity of 1,750 gallons per minute each.


SWITCH BOARD


A new switch board has been installed in the pumping station, all the switches, circuit breakers and instruments for controlling the motors are mounted on this board.


VENTURI


A 16" x 8" Venturi meter with a capacity of eight million gallons per day has been installed in the station. This meter measures all the water pumped to the water system.


STAND PIPE ON HART'S HILL


In accordance with the vote of the Town under Article II of Town Warrant of July 11, 1927, a standpipe has been erected on Hart's Hill at the corner of Sidney Street and Upland Road on land purchased from The Surburban Land Company and A. E. Poore.


The stand-pipe was put into service on January 13, 1928, and has greatly increased the volume of water available for fire protection in all sections of the Town.


This stand-pipe is 47 feet in diameter and 50 feet high with a capacity of 638,575 gallons.


The ground surrounding the stand-pipe has been graded and seeded, also a concrete walk and steps have been constructed at the entrance to the grounds.


81


REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD


LAKE QUANNAPOWITT


During the year Lake Quannapowitt was given two treatments of copper sulphate, the first one on July 9, and the second one during the last week in August. The brook which forms the outlet from the lake has been cleaned and widened from the lake to Vernon Street, greatly improv- ing the conditions in the swamp north of Lowell Street.


For the purpose of controlling the elevation of the water in the lake, a dam has been constructed at the outlet.


At the request of the State Fish and Game Commissioners, a fish lad- der has been provided to allow fish from the brook to enter the lake at any time.


The Superintendent's report which follows gives in more detail, in- formation as to construction, improvements, etc., which will be of interest o the Town.
