Cruiser :
The 1953 Dodge cruiser has now gone about 90,000 miles and repairs are frequent. I recommend that a Ranch Wagon type of cruiser be purchased to replace this cruiser, as with the new lines and lower clearance in the trunk compartments it will not be possible to change a car into an emergency am- bulance. With no ambulance service within the town these emergency ambulances are a necessity.
Traffic :
Our worst traffic problem is on Massachusetts Avenue, West Acton in the business section. Longer cars parked at an angle extend well out into the traffic lane, which interferes with the flow of traffic. The 13-foot sidewalk on the south s'de of Massachusetts Avenue is much wider than in some cities and wider than needed in Acton for foot traffic. If about three feet were taken from what is now used as a sidewalk and it were added to the width of the road it would somewhat relieve this situation. The sidewalk in front of the Meade Block is much narrower than the sidewalk between the Meade
72
1
Block and Central Street. I recommend that necessary steps be taken to widen Massachusetts Avenue through the business section. I would also recommend that cross walks be main- tained across Massachusetts Avenue and across Central Street at that intersection.
I would further recommend that our regulatory traffic signs, which are badly in need of paint and in some instances damaged, be taken care of and kept in good condition, as good signs and markings warn motorists that the law will be enforced.
Hurricanes :
When Hurricane Carol blew in on August 31st almost every street in town was blocked temporarily by fallen trees, poles and wires and the heavy rains caused several flooded streets. The police radio stations were off the air due to the power failure. We were able to keep in contact with other parts of the town by use of our car radio hook-up which we installed previous to the storm. It was pleasing to see all departments co-operating for the protection and safety of the townspeople. The height of the storm found members of the Board of Selectmen standing by lending a hand here and there and deciding problems promptly and wisely; the town nurse making her rounds, visiting the shut-ins, checking on their comfort and safety; while the police, fire, tree and Civil Defense departments went about their work in a very efficient manner. All deserve the thanks of the townspeople. The sec- ond hurricane (Edna) of September 11th, was far less severe than that of August 31st, but due to flooded streets, the police officers had to work long hours rerouting traffic. The co-oper- ation of all departments working as one unit was again notice- able during this storm.
In closing, I wish to thank all who co-operated with or assisted this department in any way during the past year. I would also like to express my appreciation to members of this department for their fine work.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL FOLEY Chief of Police

REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Your Forest Warden submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1954.
Total number of grass and brush fire calls answered by the Fire Department were 39, a decrease of 43 over the pre- vious year. This, of course, would be due to the fact that we had a very rainy season.
The forest fire equipment is in very good condition and no replacements are needed next year.
A new pump was purchased this year and is held in re- serve for immediate use.
Respectfully submitted,
H. S. MacGREGOR, Forest Warden.
REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
fo the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Town Forest Committee submits the following report for the year 1954.
The sum of $100.00 was appropriated for thinning work in the Town Forest. Approximately 5 Acres of hardwoods were girdled to enable the more valuable pines to mature faster. At the present time there is no market for the scrub oak and swamp maple that are overtopping the white pine.
The Boy Scouts are now using the Texas Lot for a camp- ing and recreational area.
The Town Forest Committee attended pruning and thin- ning demonstrations at Groton and Petersham.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The general maintenance work of sweeping, scraping, patching, drainage, and cutting brush was carried on normally, together with the regular program of surface treatment.
The culvert program continued.
The Chapter 90 construction became a casualty of "Carol" and "Edna". Not only was it a loss of time for the depart- ment to assist in debris clearance, but the job required the removal of many large trees and relocation of all utility poles. The hurricanes first delayed obtaining tree crews and also prevented the utility companies from leaving work of restora- tion of services to set new poles and transfer wires. This delay made it impractical to excavate such a busy street so late in the season. Several hundred feet of stonewall was moved and reset. An extension of time has been granted that the work may be completed in the spring. This can be done in conjunction with the proposed 1955 construction which is to continue in a northerly direction.
A survey of Nagog Hill has been completed and a request made for aid in widening the curve and rebuilding the road at the narrow point.
Respectfully submitted,
RUSSELL C. BERRY, Superintendent of Streets
REPORT OF THE FENCE VIEWERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen

REPORT OF THE ACTON PLANNING BOARD
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Planning Board, upon being elected, March 1, 1954, immediately set up sub-division rules and regulations to reg- ulate the rapid growth being experienced by the Town.
SECTIONS 81K to 81GG of Chapter 41 of the General Laws are known as THE SUB-DIVISION LAWS.
SUB-DIVISION SHALL MEAN THE DIVISION OF A TRACT OF LAND AND SHALL MEAN THE POWER OF REGULATING THE SUB-DIVISION OF LAND GRANTED BY THE LAW.
"Section 81-M. The subdivision control law has been en- acted for the purpose of protecting the safety, convenience and welfare of the inhabitants of the cities and towns in which it is, or may hereafter be, put in effect by regulating the laying out and construction of ways in subdivisions providing access to the several lots therein, but which have not become public ways, and ensuring sanitary conditions in subdivisions and in proper cases parks and open areas. The powers of a planning board and of a board of appeal under the sub-division control law shall be exercised with due regard for the provision of adequate access to all of the lots in a subdivision by ways that will be safe and convenient for travel; for lessening congestion in such ways and in the adjacent public ways; for reducing danger to life and limb in the operation of motor vehicles; for securing safety in the case of fire, flood, panic and other emer- gencies; for insuring compliance with the applicable zoning ordinances or by-laws; for securing adequate provision for water, sewerage, drainage and other requirements where nec- essary in a subdivision; and for co-ordinating the ways in a sub-division with each other and with the public ways in the city or town in which it is located and with the ways in neigh- boring subdivisions."
Your Planning Board adopted its rules and regulations so as not to be inconsistent with the sub-division control law
78
or any other provision of statute or of any ordinance or by- law of the town.
As stated at the Town Meeting, November 8, 1954, when funds were requested and appropriated, the Planning Board considers the problem of drainage in the Town of Acton second only to the need for additional school space. The drainage study now in progress is the first step toward a knowledge of the action the Town can take to correct the conditions develop- ing from growth and change of the use of land. Present nat- ural drainage and high water table cause poor drainage of streets, flooded cellars and insufficient and hazardous opera- tion of sewage disposal systems. This survey, when completed, will give the Town a picture of how we can lower the water table and stop the damage that now is brought upon many of us with spring floods and high water. Statistical informa- tion and a master plan of the Town are being developed by the Board for the use of all persons concerned, and projections are now available through 1960. It is hoped that all depart- ments of the Town will call on the Board for any material that will assist them in their long range planning. A study of Town records through 1890 indicates the need for a con- solidation of laws passed by the Town.
A public hearing was held to hear any suggestions for changes or improvements in the Zoning By-Law. These hear- ings on by-law changes will be conducted as often as is con- sistent with the desires of the Town. Under state law any town by-law change must be initiated by the Planning Board after a public hearing.
The Board makes the following recommendation for im- provements in our Town government:
I. A permanent Building Committee of 3 members be appointed with terms of three (3) years each. These three (3) members plus two (2) from any board or committee plan- ning construction will form the Town Building Committee.
II. A Board of three (3) Street Commissioners be elected to direct the efforts of the Highway Department. The Town
79
of Acton has almost doubled in the last five years and it is expected that a similar rate of growth will take place in the next five years. The responsibility and size of appropriations of the Street Department should justify the direct concern of a single Board rather than the partial effort by the Selectmen who are already overburdened.
III. To combine all laws and regulations into ready ref- erence form. The Planning Board is working to accomplish this.
IV. To prepare a master plan of the town showing homes, numbers, waterways, streets, easements and public utilities. The Planning Board is working to accomplish this also.
V. That the Betterment Act passed in Town Meeting, March 3, 1890, be enforced.
The Planning Board would like to thank all boards and committees for their excellent co-operation during the past year.
