REPORT OF SELECTMEN
Traffic lights were installed at the corner of Oak and Main Streets, Greenwood. Work has also been started on the installation of Traffic Lights at the intersection of Main and Water Streets. Owing to a change in the State requirements these lights had to be returned to the factory for ad- justment and will not be put in operation until early in the Spring of 1931. We feel that traffic conditions at these intersections will be very much im- proved.
Eustis Avenue and Newell Road were rebuilt this year under the Bet- terment Act and Overlake Road which was started in 1929 was completed this year. These streets are now in a first class condition and an asset to their respective neighborhoods.
Work on the Drainage System thru the Heywood-Wakefield property to the Saugus Line was started in 1930 and we expect it will be completed in the Spring of 1931. The cleaning of the brook will materially relieve the Salem Street and Montrose District up to and including that portion of the brook by Evans' Shoe Factory. It will have no effect on the West Side of the Town until after the project is continued thru and beyond the High School property which we would recommend as our next Drainage project. Owing to the unemployment conditions we found this to be the proper time to do this work thereby relieving the Welfare Department and also doing a very much needed piece of drainage work. We recommend that not less than $500.00 be appropriated each year for patroling the brook, commencing in 1932 and keeping it open and free from all refuse that might collect from time to time.
After holding a conference with Mr. Powell, our Highway Engineer, we feel that the proper place to spend money in 1931 on street work is on Main Street from the Railroad Crossing to the Melrose line. If cars cease to operate in the Spring, as we believe now they will, Main Street becomes a problem as the roadway is so full of depressions and holes that the water in a great many cases cannot get into the catch basins and in many places the car tracks are lower than the roadway thereby causing a dangerous condition. It will be necessary to spend at least $3,000.00 or $3,500.00 on this street each year for maintenance and there is a possibility of spending more as the years roll by and the street becomes more brittle and broken up. As we know that the Town is in no financial condition to build a per- manent street over Main Street in the next few years and knowing that the maintenance expense is very high and will probably increase each year, in our opinion we consider the following solution to be the proper proceedure: The present sides will be scarified where necessary. The old road bed will then be graded to the proper grade and crown, the car tracks covered, over which will be laid a 2 inch bituminous top. This is very cheap construction and can be done for about 70c a square yard. The total cost of this entire job will be approximately $37,000.00 and will give the appearance of a new road. The surface would have the same appearance as the surface of Eustis Avenue or Oak Street from Main Street past the Fire House. This kind of a job in our opinion would last from eight to ten years and the cost would

not be any more than for maintenance or patch work and we would have the use of the road from now on, thus giving a much better approach from the south.
On account of the circumstances arising from business depression it was deemed advisable to appoint a sub-committee as an Unemployment Committee. This Committee consisted of Chairman Blanchard and Se- lectman Sheldon and we have listed approximately 600 persons and have given employment thru the various Town Departments to approximately 300 of the most needy, the War Veterans being given first preference. We also have arranged for the appropriation and expenditure of money to re- lieve the unemployment condition by means of two special Town Meetings.
We also wish at this time to thank the officers and members of the various departments and especially those who have been directly under our supervision. We wish at this time especially to thank Mr. Powell and his staff for the splendid co-operation they have given us on all the requests which we have made of them. We also wish to thank Mr. Simonds and Mr. Clemons for their splendid help which both have rendered to the Board of Selectmen.

I am very glad to repeat what I said in my last report that the town is free from serious crime.
We have one of the cleanest towns in the State of Massachusetts.
DISCIPLINE
Has been good and at this time I want to thank each and every mem- ber of this department for the manner in which they have performed their duty.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I most earnestly recommend more officers as the department is not large enough for a town of its size.
I renew my recommendation that rubber goods, that is boots and coats be furnished for the members of the Police Department.
There are many other recommendations that I might make but hav- ing in mind the tax-payer I shall refrain from doing so.
CONCLUSION
In closing this report I wish to return my sincere thanks to the Honor- able Board of Selectmen, also the Committee on Police, Selectman George
