REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
The Town of Wakefield is indebted to the Crystal Community Club for the beautiful fieldstone wall erected at the Water Street entrance to Nasella Playground. This Organization met all construction costs of the wall and it is a distinct asset to the Playground as well as making the vicinity more attractive. Mr. George Clayton generously gave the Town a small parcel of land at this location so that the entrance could be of better proportion. In addition, the Crystal Community Club purchased Willow Trees so that shade will be available in the future.
The Municipal Bath House was open 10 weeks in 1950. The average daily attendance was approximately 175 which speaks well for the type of recreation offered here. Mr. Lawrence Collins, the chief Life Guard, and his staff were well qualified for their positions, all Life Guards having passed their Senior Life Saving tests as specified by the American Red Cross. It should be mentioned here that the local Chapter of the Red Cross through its director, Miss Doris Skinner, and actively headed by Mr. Philip McAuliffe and Mr. Arthur Loughlin of the bath house gave swimming instructions to interested school children. These periods of instructions were well attended with children being given certificates of swimming. Due to the alertness of the guards we completed our fifth consecutive season without any drownings, but on numerous occasions bathers were assisted to the beach by the Life Guards.
Forest Glade Cemetery had further expansion during the year. The usual Spring routine was followed; new graves loamed and seeded, Ave- nues tarred and sanded in addition to the construction of approximately 150' of new roads. We were fortunate to obtain about 400' cubic yards of rough fill at a very moderate cost from various Town projects. In view of the fact that future expansion of the Cemetery will involve purchase of huge amounts of earth fill such arrangements with other Town depart- ments will prove valuable. Later in the season a large area containing twenty-one, twelve grave lots was graded and seeded. Sub-divisions of these lots will be available for sale in 1951.

I wish, in closing, to thank the Superintendents of all the Town De -: partments for their co-operation, without which my work would have . been a great deal more difficult.

REPORT OF WATER AND SEWERAGE BOARD
Report of Water and Sewerage Board
The Water and Sewerage Board reports of the activities of the Water and Sewerage Department for the first nine months of the year 1950.
The continued rapid development of the town with the demands from home builders caused the Board to transfer much of the available pipe purchased for the relaying program to new construction. There was ap- proximately 8,350 feet of pipe installed within the town to extend the water mains system, and some 1,840 feet of pipe was relaid with cast iron cement-lined or copper pipe to replace old cement or steel pipe that was in bad condition. Of this 1,840 feet, 1,593 feet was under the relaying program.
The construction of Route 128 through the northern sections of the town has required considerable work by the department relaying pipes under the new road and providing future pipes for the development of this portion of the town.
It was necessary again this year to supplement the water supply from sources outside of the town. The Board petitioned the State Board of Health for permission to receive water from the Metropolitan Water Dis- trict because of a water emergency. The emergency was declared and a semi-permanent connection was made near the Green Street Standpipe in Stoneham. On August 24, 1950, water was first pumped through this connection. On August 29, 1950, Crystal Lake was 421/2 inches below its high water mark.
The sewer construction program was increased because the Montrose Trunk Sewer made sewers available to a large number of residents in Montrose. The department completed before September 1, 1950, some 1,593 feet of sewer construction while contracts were let and work planned for the department for some 14,574 feet of sewer construction. Again the con- struction of Route 128 caused additional work for the department, in- stalling new sewer mains under the new road. This work of necessity had to be put before regular construction, and in a few cases the work had to be carried on as an extra with the sewer contractor, not taking the time necessary for formal bids.
The Water and Sewerage Board want to take this opportunity to ex- press their appreciation of the co-operation of the townspeople over the years, hoping for the continuance of this co-operation for the Board of Public Works. We feel honored to have been able to serve the people of this town.
