New shelves were also provided for the Greenwood Branch, as well as new tables of graduated heights, a new bulletin board, and book truck.
Miss Elsie Millett of Simmons College came to this Library in March, for her spring practice work.
Appreciative mention is here made of the ready helpfulness and attitude of loyal interest on the part of all the Staff-so important in library service.
Another important element which is valuable in extending this service to the whole town is the generous co-operation of the Wakefield Daily Item.
I am also glad to emphasize my appreciation of the constant interest, active support, and constructive policy of the members of the Board of Trustees.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN FRANCES CARLETON,
Librarian.

Oak Street Construction-
Oak Street from Main Street to Francis Avenue was completed in 1929. A bituminous penetration road of 7" in thickness was constructed from curb to curb. A sidewalk was constructed on the south side to continue a walk laid in 1928. A sidewalk on the north side was laid from Main Street to the property line of the Greenwood Union Church. This section of Oak Street is now completed.
Lowell Street-
The curve on Lowell Street midway between Vernon Street and the head of the Lake has been widened and rebuilt. The street at the curve is
25.14
177
REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
now 26 feet in width and an entire new surface has been constructed for a distance of about 650 feet. 600 feet of Guard Rail was erected on the north side of the curve and 150 feet of guard rail was erected on the south side of the curve. The improvement made has eliminated the danger of automobile accidents at this point on Lowell Street.
Greenwood Bridge-
Greenwood Bridge was entirely rebuilt in the spring of 1929, the work being done entirely by Highway Department employees. The construction of this bridge is heavier than the former bridge and has a carrying load of about twelve tons compared to the carrying load of the former bridge which was five tons.
Strathmore Road-
Strathmore Road was accepted by the town in 1929 and was built with semi-permanent construction in 1929. With the amount of traffic that this road receives and considering the type of road built there should be prac- tically no maintenance on it for a good many years.
Albion Street Construction-
Albion Street was rebuilt from Byron Street to the Stoneham line. This work was done under the direction and supervision of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and was done by contract. The contractor being Thomas Joseph McCue of Watertown, Mass. This construction was paid for by the State, County and Town, each paying one third of the cost of construction.
Salem Street-
Salem Street at the Lynnfield line was rebuilt in order to eliminate several bad depressions which have been existing there for two or three years.
Morningside Park-
Morningside Park consists of two streets namely: Morningside Road and Overlake Road which were accepted in 1929. Morningside Road was built with a permanent bituminous penetration road and gravel sidewalks. Overlake Road was roughly graded but owing to the fact that water mains were not installed until very late in the fall, it was necessary to postpone the construction of this street until the spring of 1930. For the finishing of this project we have a balance to be brought forward to 1930 of $1,257.16.
A dangerous curve on the top of Green Street hill was eliminated. Considerable ledge was taken from the westerly side of the street and dumped
178
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
over the bank on the easterly side of the street near Shady Avenue. The street at this point was resurfaced and a guard rail erected on the east side to protect motorists and pedestrians from the steep incline.
Hopkins Street from Prospect Street to just beyond Brook Street was sacrified and resurfaced.
Avon Court was resurfaced and gravel sidewalks shaped up.
Rockland Street was rebuilt and sidewalks shaped up.
Everett Avenue was resurfaced with gravel construction.
The sum of $222 was spent on Montrose Avenue filling in mud holes and keeping the street passable.
Valley Street was graveled in part and the entire street was given a heavy application of tar. Sidewalks were built on one side of the street for 1000 feet.
Lake Avenue was rebuilt with gravel construction and a heavy applica- tion of tar applied.
Pine Street was rebuilt with gravel construction and tar applied.
Spring Street from Greenwood Street to Druid Hill Avenue was rebuilt with gravel.
Parker Road was rebuilt with gravel construction and a heavy applica- tion of tar applied.
Lowell Street near Forest Glade Cemetery about 700 feet of 2" bitumi- nous top was laid and about 1000 feet of 2" bituminous top was laid near Wharton Park.
Pitman Avenue at the very end near Harrison Avenue was resurfaced to eliminate a bad condition.
Preston Street was rebuilt with gravel construction and gravel side- walks for a distance of 1000 feet were laid.
Stedman Street was rebuilt with gravel construction and a heavy ap- plication of tar applied.
Wakefield Avenue was rebuilt with gravel construction and a heavy ap- plication of tar applied.
179
REPORT OF HIGHWAY ENGINEER
Melvin Street from Richardson Street to Valley Street was rebuilt with a 2" stone top penetrated with tar.
Brook Avenue was sacrified, shaped and a heavy application of tar applied. A retaining wall was built at the Water Street end for a distance of about 200 feet and a guard rail was erected on top of the wall.
Bay State Road was graveled over in order to allow travel on the street.
The corner of Pleasant and Vernon Streets was cut back, curb installed and the sidewalk and street resurfaced according to the new layout ..
Lakeview Avenue, Curtis Street, Sherman Road, Cyrus Street, Ban- croft Avenue, Tamworth Hill Avenue, Morgan Avenue, Pine Ridge Road, all of which were accepted by the town in 1928, were constructed during the year 1929. These streets were built under the Betterment Act the abbut- tors paying the assessments on the benefit derived from this construction.
DRAINAGE
Parker Road-Seven catch basins were installed and a line of pipe. starting at Davidson Road and continuing 800 feet to beyond the residence. of Ned C. Loud, was laid.
Preston Street-Two culverts across the street were rebuilt and two new culverts were installed.
Vernon Street-A new culvert was built across Vernon Street north of Lowell Street.
Foundry Street-A new drain was constructed the entire length of Foundry Street and three new catch basins installed.
Stedman Street-A new drain was installed on Stedman Street between Dell Avenue and Clarina Street and about four catch basins were built.
Lakeview Avenue-Two catch basins and one man hole were installed in the low point in the street and an outlet for a distance of about 700 feet to Lake Quannapowitt was installed. This outlet is 12" in diameter.
Pipe was purchased for the installation of a drain on Hanson and Grove Street and also for a drain on Spring Street from the Stoneham line to about Druid Hill Avenue. Owing to lack of money, this pipe was not installed in 1929.
180
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
GUARD RAIL
Guard Rail was constructed on Church Street for a distance of about 600 feet.
Guard Rail was constructed on Main Street at the head of the lake for a distance of about 800 feet, also on south Main Street from Classen's Garage to Cooper Street.
The Guard Rail on Salem Street at the Lynnfield Line, Farm Street and Fairmount Avenue was rebuilt and painted.
EQUIPMENT
A five ton gasoline Tandem Roller was purchased from the Buffalo Springfield Roller Company. This roller has proved to be an economical piece of equipment. It is used for patching, sidewalk construction and other light rolling.
A gravel loader was purchased for use in loading trucks. This machine has saved the town many dollars and it is safe to estimate that the price of the machine, which was $3,700, has been saved in labor during the year 1929. This machine will load six yards of gravel into a truck in about six minutes.
During November the Highway Department obtained for demonstra- tion purposes a Sand Spreader which attaches to the rear of a truck and auto- matically spreads sand over the street. This machine can also be used in the summer for covering tar. The demonstration has been such, and the public approval has been such, that I consider the machine a necessity and recom- mend that the town purchase the same.

New street signs were erected in 1929 to replace broken or worn out signs.
Warning signs were erected on Emerson Street, and Cedar Street at West Chestnut Street. These are of the reflector type and are easily de- tected at night.
Warning signs denoting Traffic Signal Ahead were installed at Lowell and Vernon Streets. This was done to conform with State regulations governing Traffic Lights.
On December 31, 1929, the Department had a total of $443.21 unpaid bills.
At this time I wish to express my appreciation for the support given me by the Board of Selectmen and especially to William Blanchard, Committee on Highways.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Report of Dept. of Public Welfare
The Department of Public Welfare respectfully submits its report for the year ending December 31, 1929:
During the year, so many individuals, societies, and organizations have generously contributed so much in money, food, clothing, and services that we can no more than express our general thanks to all who have been so helpful. At Thanksgiving, entirely through these contributions, fifty-four dinners were distributed to needy families. At Christmas, approximately the same number of families were provided with toys and clothing, supple- menting in most cases Christmas dinners provided by the Elks. We ap- preciate the assistance which other town departments have given us, es- pecially that of Miss Russell of the Board of Health, and Miss English, School Nurse.
OUTSIDE RELIEF
The call for outside relief has been heavy since late fall and it is apparent that the winter disbursements will be unusually large. This is due in large part to the early termination of outside work because of industrial conditions.
It is significant that 16% of the payments for outside relief are reim- bursements by the Town of Wakefield to other cities, an item over which this department has no control.
TOWN FARM
For the better comfort of the inmates at the Town Infirmary, an oil heater was installed during the summer and has given complete satisfaction. This change required the construction of a new chimney. Also, sills which were badly rotted were replaced during the year and concrete drains con- structed to take rain water away from the house.
At Christmas, the Girls Club of the Congregational Church presented the inmates with a very beautiful radio, and it certainly has been appreciated.
The house and farm, under the supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin W. Brown, have been maintained most efficiently and are open for inspection by the citizens of the town at any time.
At the close of the year, there were twelve inmates at the farm, two having died during the year. In addition to the inmates, board was pro-
REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE
185
vided for four garbage collectors and five farm employees. During the winter months, dinners are provided at the farm for eight men on the average, who are also given outside aid.
With the help of the men who were being aided by the department, the hen house and pig houses were roofed and repaired during the year.
