Some of the aerial fire alarm circuits of a single wire are too long, noticeably that in the extreme south part of the town taking in Boynton- ville and Tamworth Hill section and the center section of Greenwood. This should be a two-wire line through the Boyntonville section with lateral loops to offset boxes in Spring Street and Myrtle Avenue and so back to the Oak Street section through Greenwood Avenue to the Tam- worth Hill section.
It is further recommended that all outlets to aerial lines from under- ground be protected by fuses and lightning arrestors.

Report of Town Planning Board
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,
The Town Planning Board reports its activities for the year 1935 as follows:
In preparation for the Spring town meeting the Board held public hearings on several articles proposing changes in the Zoning By-Law and made its recommendations to the Town Meeting.
The Board has co-operated with the Planning Boards of Stoneham and Reading in advocating to the State Department of Public Works the building of the Stoneham-Reading major by-pass. Again the Board has been represented on a committee made up of representatives of all Planning Boards along the route of the north circumferential highway and formed to co-operate with the State Planning authorities in the lo- cation of this highway and to insure a uniform zoning of its use.
The Board expresses its appreciation of the services of Leon Reed who felt it advisable to resign from the Board.
Respectfully submitted, .
TOWN PLANNING BOARD, E. M. BRIDGE, Chairman.

E. R. A. and W. P. A .- Highway equipment such as trucks, tractors, stone crusher, gasoline shovel, rollers, cold patch mixer, etc., were used on government projects. No charge was made for the use of the equipment, but the operators' time was charged against the highway appropriation, and amounted to $1,090.46.
REBUILDING
Gould Street (Murray Street to Byron Street) 2800 lin. ft. x 24 ft. wide.
The surface of Gould Street was poorly graded so that surface water stood for long periods and passing cars splashed pedestrians. It was also cut up considerably on account of the installation of gas and water pipes.
New drainage was installed; then the surface was scarified, reshaped with new gravel and topped with three inches of crushed stone and pene- trated with bituminous asphalt.
New curb was installed on the four corners of Byron Street in accord-

HOUSTON STREET
A section of Houston Street was laid out and accepted by the Town on February 27, 1935.
Every Spring this street was always a source of trouble to the abutters on account of the muddy and unstable condition of the roadway.
. Our first operation was to excavate an average of 12" of mud and clay and backfill with good coarse gravel. Concrete curbs were then installed, and three inches of crushed stone penetrated with asphalt was laid. As- phalt sidewalks with a planting space were then built.

CHAPTER 464 BOND ISSUE ACTS OF 1935
This money was appropriated by the State to be used for the unem- ployed labor, the purchase of material, trucking, rental, on government projects. The Town is using this fund for the purchase of cement, lumber, stone, sand, calcium chloride, nails, etc., on W. P. A. cement sidewalk and cement curbing projects.
Allotment from State Expenditures
$5,633.57 4,346.97
Balance to be used in 1936
$1,286.60
It will be noted that on Chapter 90 work, a substantial balance was left on Vernon Street, Salem Street, and Maintenance. After the allotments were made, including that of the Town, the State and County decided to decrease their allotments 15% to cover the engineering expenses. I felt that the Town's share should be decreased a like amount-otherwise we would be spending Town money without receiving any assistance from the State and County.
