cept Madison Ave. and a small section in Greenwood Ave. These places will be taken care of during the coming year when surface conditions are judged to be right for such work.


The hurricane which occurred on September 21st, caused considerable damage to lines, poles and service and increased the operating expense about $4,500.00. This damage has been remedied to a large extent but sagging lines are still being pulled up and the trees which were blown out of their usual balance are recovering their former position from time to time, aided by the softened ground and strong wind from the opposite direction to that of the hurricane. This causes interference with the primary and secondary lines that were replaced after the storm and make further work for the line- men in the electric division.


In anticipation of additional street light circuits; an addition in the form of a corrugated iron shed has been placed on the westerly side of the Substation on Wakefield Avenue, for the accommodation of switchboards and constant current transformers. The work of transferring these pieces of apparatus from the narrow room where they have been since the Substation was put in operation, to the addition, has been going on intermittantly during the past year.


At the time of writing, plans are in progress for dividing street circuit known as number two. This is a long line and takes in the Lakeside and North Ward and Montrose sections. The division to take in Montrose, will be known as number six.


The Gas division has laid or replaced numerous services to existing mains and new mains have been laid in Vernon St. from existing main near Lowell St. to the Lynnfield line in compliance with work of the Highway Dept. under "Chapter Ninety." "Chapter Ninety" provides that the street shall remain closed for underground work for a period of years, after the surface has been laid and accepted by the State and County authorities. Juniper Terrace was along the line of this extension, and upon petition of the residents, the main was extended to reach those consumers. In each case, services were laid to all existing houses and to lot lines for possible occupants.


Replacement of existing main was made in North Ave. from the Gas Plant northerly to what was formerly the property of the Boston Ice Co. Services were renewed where necessary, and new services to lots where service was anticipated. All this to avoid the highway construction during the past year and proposed work for the coming year as provided under Chapter Ninety.


In Outlook Rd. from Strathmore Rd. to Parker Rd. and in Parker Rd. from existing main at Outlook Rd. to Davidson Rd., small main was re- placed by larger size. Main was extended in Morrison Rd. West from exist- ing main at Strathmore Rd. to Eustis Ave. Ext.


A spur was placed to meet the proposed development of property open- ing up on Vernon St. This will be laid out and gas main extended as occasion requires.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD


Highway work by the W.P.A. has caused changes to be made in exist- ing mains in Oak Ledge Rd., Gladstone St. and Eastern Ave. due in each case to the lowering of the surface grade. Another company coming into the Heywood Bros. Wakefield property demanded gas service in quantity and was served in building number two with a three inch pipe extension to the second floor. Incidentally, there have been numerous inquiries of the possi- bility of a rate to interest home owners in house heating by gas.


As a result of the hurricane damage to standing timber in town, the fire menace was considered so great that one owner of a large tract of fallen pine trees, offered the department any or all the building timber it could get from the fallen trees in return for supplying him with such limbs and tops as were not usable for boards and joists, but up into lengths suitable for fire place burning and so clearing up the fire menace. The department was able to take advantage of this offer and as a result now have several thousand feet of country pine lumber in storage in the yard at a cost very much under the former or even present price of such quality of wood.


Two additions to the works tools are,-the direct current generator, gasoline operated, and a gasoline operated rotary pump. Both these machines have demonstrated their value in recent times, furnishing light at a fire where the electric circuits were out and in pumping out manholes.


For a number of years the department has been successfully using a concrete mixer of an obsolete type which it had salvaged, and for small uses was all right until the conduit line constructed by the W.P.A. demanded faster delivery of concrete to keep up with the energetic efforts of these men. Finally the drum of the machine gave out and a smaller one was hired. This proved almost as unsatisfactory on account of the size, and a new mixer of the latest type was bought after canvassing the various dealers and fac- tory representatives for these machines. This purchase has been very satis- factory. Out of the chassis and engine of the old mixer with a borrowed circular saw, a servicable cross cut saw was made and used very much in preparing fire wood for the donor of the pine lumber as well as for cutting slabs in short lengths for use in the fire room at the plant.


The wood shop that has had a buzz planer and circular saw, now has a surface planer by which dimension stock can be made up with speed and accuracy. Much of the time in the wood shop has been taken in sawing the logs into lumber since they were brought in, and in making up lumber for various forms used in construction and about the repair of buildings at the works. There seems to be no end to the calls for various uses of wood in the conduct of the business of the department.


The machine shop has been busy throughout the year in repair and up- keep of various moving parts and setting up and overhauling the various machines used in and out of the plant.

The Town and Light Department in particular, from the Commissioners down to the last man on the rolls, regret the passing of their friend and fellow worker, Mr. A. Francis Harrington. The genial, whimsical humor and unbiased judgment which he brought to the problems of this department, were qualities which endeared him to those with whom he was associated. Mr. Harrington's service to the town through several years on various boards and commissions, demonstrated a life of devotion to the best in- terests of his community.


Respectfully submitted,


SAMUEL H. BROOKS, Manager.

Fire Alarm, Police and Traffic Signals


To the Municipal Light Commissioners,


Town of Wakefield, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen:


These signal systems have functioned very well during the year, the hurricane disturbance interrupted the services for only a short time, all the fire alarm circuits were in service within twenty-four hours.


191


REPORT OF MUNICIPAL LIGHT BOARD


No extension of lines has been made for any of these services and no new boxes installed. One replacement of old type fire alarm box has been made and the older type moved to replace a. still older box in an outlying section.


The Fire Alarm Department was fortunate in purchasing through a supply company, two transmitters, one for fast timing, the other for slow timing, that have been installed back of the operators' desk at the Central Fire Station. Also a five circuit repeater has been installed to take the place of the town circuits and the mutual aid systems between this station and those of Melrose, Stoneham and Reading, doing away with individual ma- chines which formerly did the recording on as many different tapes.


It seems proper to express here an appreciation of the work done under the direction of the Chief of Police. He was able to furnish an officer acting as foreman with about ten temporary men and accomplished a lot of work in clearing the streets and the wire lines of this department after the Sep- tember storm.


Minor repairs to the traffic lights have kept these operating in a satis- factory manner.


Respectfully submitted,


SAMUEL H. BROOKS,


Superintendent.

29th Annual Report of the Wakefield Water and Sewerage Board


Further safeguarding of watershed to Crystal Lake has been provided by this Department in construction of a sewer through Crystal Lake Park under a W.P.A. project. Work on this sewer started during the fall and con- tinued until approach of winter, being temporarily stopped until early spring due to cold weather and frost. Conditions permitting, work will be steadily advanced to completion, thus affording very necessary additional protection against pollution in our water supply.


During the late summer, the Department purchased an adequate supply of Plum Island sand for the filtration plant and it is now in use.


On November 17th, fire caused considerable damage to the barn on Broadway, but repairs were promptly outlined and carried through. As this report is compiled, the equipment and location of work rooms provide, after finished repairs, a much more convenient and consolidated work-shop, all on the ground floor. The upper floor, greatly strengthened, is being used for storage of tools, gear, and other material.


As many of our citizens are aware, several important developments of real estate have been planned and are in process of construction, which means, of course, increased demand for water and sewer service. The De- partment is co-operating in all possible manner and will keep in step as the developments progress.


Attention is called to the report of the Superintendent of the Depart- ment covering his records of the year and carrying full details in connection. One item in his work was that of renewal of the cages of the intake pipes from Crystal Lake and these are now in first class condition. All other units of Department buildings and equipment are in good condition, but minor repairs to the ceiling in boiler-room on Broadway must receive attention and it is the purpose of the Board and Superintendent to give early attention to this.


On November 15, the Commissioners, after conference with the Superin- tendent, voted to reduce the water rates with minimum charge of $4.50, effective May 1st to November 1st, 1939 and thereafter until further notice. It will be noted that the new rates are practically on a level with those in effect prior to the construction and operation of the filter plant.


During 1938, water pipes were laid in following streets: Central Street, Oakledge Road, Gladstone Street, and Essex Street, through W.P.A. pro- jects.

PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS


All town buildings on the southerly side of Broadway have received two coats of paint during the year, greatly improving their appearance.


During the early part of the year, the installation of the pumping equipment and heating apparatus was completed at the Sexton Avenue pumping station. The station was put into operation on March 29. This station may be put into commission immediately, should it become necessary.


During the year a new Dodge coupe was purchased to replace a 1933 car of the same make. A new one and one half ton, heavy duty Dodge truck was also purchased to replace a truck which had been in commission since 1931.


WATER SUPPLY


Crystal Lake, Wakefield's water supply, is, at the present time, 2.5 inches above high water mark. From March 29 to April 9, the water was pumped continuously day and night from the driven wells supply and also from August 31 to September 28, during the resanding process at the filter plant on Broadway.


198


TOWN OF WAKEFIELD


FILTRATION PLANT


The filtration plant, as in the past, produced water of an excellent quality. During the summer months, 170 cubic yards of Plum Island sand was purchased from the town of Newbury for use in the filter plant. This is the first sand which it has been necessary to replace since the original in- stallation in 1927.


LOW LEVEL SEWER SYSTEM


The low level sewer system and pumping station, located on Vinton Street, has, as in the past, given excellent service. No extensive repairs or alterations are contemplated during the coming year.


MAIN STREET SEWER EJECTOR STATION


The Main Street sewer ejector station has been in operation now for a little more than a year and has been very satisfactory. This station serves the following streets:


Cordis Street


Central Street


Main Street (between Sweetser Street and Cordis Street)


CRYSTAL LAKE PARK SEWER


The town voted to construct a sewer in Crystal Lake Park. This work is being done with the assistance of a W.P.A. project. To date 1400 feet of sewer has been completed.
