REPORT OF THE ROAD COMMISSIONERS


The following projects, several of which were carried over from 1963, were completed:


1. BETTERMENTS:


Trinity Place and White Road reconstruction was completed. Bent Avenue construction was begun and included storm drain- age placing of the gravel sub base. The unsuitable material which was removed was used as fill in a low area to allow for construction next year of the connection between Bent Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. A new water main was installed in Bent Ave., (Cottage St., George St. ) under the direction of the Water Commissioners. Work on the overall project, including Bent Ave., Cottage and George Streets, will continue during 1965.


2. CHAPTER 90 WORK:


(a) CONSTRUCTION: The surface coarse of bituminous concrete pavement was placed on Old Connecticut Path between Route 20 and Rice Road. The side slopes on this portion of the road were also completed. Reconstruction of the remainder of Old Connect- icut Path will be held in abeyance until further studies are com- pleted by the State and County Engineers and the Town's Chapter 90 Study Committee .


(b) MAINTENANCE: Old Connecticut Path was resurfaced with bituminous concrete from Maiden Lane to Five Paths. The additional appropriation by the Town in the 1964 budget allowed for resurfacing of approximately one mile of road this year. The normal State-County-Town appropriation is sufficient to re- surface approximately one half-mile of road per year. The Board recommends that an additional appropriation by the Town be included for the next several years in order to resurface as much Chapter 90 road as possible to preclude major reconstruc- tion projects under Chapter 90 due to lack of maintenance funds.


3. DRAINAGE:


The culverts on Pinebrook Road were completed including head- walls and reconstruction of road pavement in the immediate vicinity of the culverts. Several additional drainage projects were completed to eliminate local storm water problems.


4. SIDEWALKS:


The sidewalk construction was completed along East Plain Street and Commonwealth Road from Dunster Street to Loker Street. Additional funds have been requested to continue this program into 1965.


181


5. RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING TOWN ROADS:


Under Chapter 718 of the General Laws, the surface coarse of bituminous concrete was placed on a portion of Loker Street off Commonwealth Road.


The first phase of the reconstruction of a portion of Stonebridge Road at the M. D. C. Aqueduct was completed. Additional funds have been requested to complete this project during 1965.


Together with these major projects, the oiling program, road sweeping operations and roadside cleanup programs were continued.


Bids were obtained by the Board for a snow blower, a road sweep- er and a superintendent's vehicle. The road sweeper was purchased from the special account set up for replacement of capital equipment in the Highway Department. The snow blower and superintendent's vehicle were purchased from the respective appropriations.


Bids were obtained and a contract was awarded for construction of the addition to the Highway Department Garage.


Mr. Albert Abruzzese was appointed as Highway Department Super- intendent.


The Road Commissioners wish to thank all Highway Department employees for their cooperation and diligence during the past year.


We also appreciate the cooperation given to the department by all Town Officials, Boards, and citizens on matters of mutual interest to the Town.


Respectfully submitted, HORACE MEGATHLIN, JR., Chairman ROBERT M. CARSON RICHARD L. HEWITT Board of Road Commissioners

I have submitted the following requests to the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee:


a. A 10% raise for all regular personnel of the Department along with a forty-hour work week.


b. The hiring of four more regular policemen for additional protection to the Town's Residents by helping with the in- creased work load.


c. The purchase of two more new police cruisers with radios and sirens for same.


d. And, as in previous years, the installation of traffic lights at the following junctions:


1. Routes 27 and 126


2. Memorial Square


3. Oak Street and Commonwealth Road


The Department mourns the untimely death of one of its patrolmen, Mr. George Rousseau. It wishes a long and happy retirement to Mr. Thomas Murray whose health necessitated his leaving the Department. We all extend to Mr. Ronald Rokes our sincere wishes for a speedy recovery from his serious illness.


Once again, as over these many years, I offer my thanks and appre- ciation to the various department heads, the sergeants, the policemen and policewomen, the auxiliary police, and the citizens of the Town, for their continued help and cooperation. Because of their combined efforts, I am sure Wayland is a better and safer place in which to work and live.

The number of alarms in 1964 decreased considerably in compari- son with 1963, although we once again experienced extended periods of dry weather. Rescue, first aid, emergency calls and investigations, principally to the home, once again were high on the list and reflect the residential growth.


During the long dry spells this year it was necessary to place a ban on all outside burning and place mobile fire patrols in operation. Citizen cooperation contributed greatly to our success in keeping the fire threat in check. The awareness of our people to the dangers of


188


outside fires is evidenced by the fact that the department issued a record number of burning permits during the days of the year that it was safe to allow burning.


Fire prevention activities by this department included the periodic inspections of all municipal buildings, nursing homes, commercial and industrial buildings, churches and multiple family dwellings. Single family dwellings were inspected on request and recommenda - tions were made regarding hazards and family escape plans.


Periodic fire drills were held at all public schools with the co- operation of the school department.


During the year this department actively participated in the work of the Code Enforcement Committee.


The regular department training program was conducted in twenty sessions held in the spring and fall of the year. Two training sessions were also held jointly with two of our mutual aid departments, Weston and Sudbury. Four members of the department have successfully completed a training course in scuba diving providing the department with the neucleus of an under water search and recovery team. In addition, full time members of the department attended seminars and conferences conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Fire Depart- ment Instructors, the International Municipal Signal Association, the Fire Apparatus Maintenance Association, the Boston Fire Department and the International Association of Fire Chiefs.


Preparations were made this year for the installation of a fire alarm signal and communications cable between the Headquarters Station in Wayland Center and Station #2 in Cochituate.


The municipal fire alarm system was extended by the installat- tions made by subdivision contractors on Hobbs Road, Alden Road, Cabot Road, Forty Acres Drive, Highland Circle and Lake Shore Drive.


The second step of a long range plan designed to gradually provide additional full time personnel to the Department was approved at the annual Town Meeting in March 1964, and three men were added to the permanent force on May 1, 1964.


The availability of call or part-time firefighters is still a critical problem as the changing character of the community continues to diminish their number. Therefore, the 1965 budget request includes an amount which would allow for step number three of the long range personnel plan which provides for two men to be added to the Depart- ment on May 1, 1965.


This Department is approaching the final stages of two major long range programs established five years ago. These programs were designed to provide personnel and apparatus on a gradual basis in the development of a modern progressive Fire Department.


189


During 1965 we recommend a review of the current planning, a study of future needs and the projection of new long range plans that will continue to keep the development of the Fire Department in step with the needs and the growth of the community.


I wish to extend my thanks and appreciation to the members of the Department, and to all persons who in any way have cooperated and assisted in our operations and development.


Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS J. HARTIN, Chief Wayland Fire Department


REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF TRUST FUNDS


During the year 1964, additional small funds continued to be de- posited in the savings bank. The funds received from Treasury Notes, maturing in the latter part of the year, were also deposited in the savings bank to await an advantageous investment this coming year.


A complete list of the Trust Funds, their allocation and the income derived from same during the past year, will be found in the Report of the Town Treasurer.

our history. We cannot stress too strongly the need for dogs to have rabies shots every two years in order to minimize the danger of rabies infection.


DENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM School Year 1963 - 1964


Dentist -- Thomas G. Leonard, DDS


A total of 49 pre-school children and 181 elementary school children received dental care at the Board of Health Dental Clinic.

Children in grades 1, 3 and 5, were screened by the dental hygienist. Of the 903 children screened, 177 were referred for dental treatment. In order to prevent dental injury, mouth guards were fitted to all football and hockey players.


Other Programs:


Joint programs of Board of Health and Parmenter Health Center.


Chest X-Ray Program -- of the 483 X-rayed, 476 were negative. The other seven were referred for further follow up.


Glaucoma Screening Program -- of the 116 residents screened, eleven were referred for further follow up.


The Board of Health and the Parmenter Health Center are planning a Diabetes Screening Program as well as continuing Glaucoma detection and Chest X-Ray Programs for 1965.


The Board of Health has office hours Monday through Thursday from 5:00 P. M. to 7:00 P. M. at the Parmenter Health Center. At this time, permits and licenses are issued.

SANITARY ENGINEER'S REPORT


Board of Health


Wayland, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


The following is a report of my activities for your Board for the calendar year 1964. . .


SEWAGE DISPOSAL


During the calendar year 1964, one hundred and twenty-five (125) permits were issued by your Health Agent, for the construc- tion or alteration of sewage disposal systems, after the pre- liminary and other inspections and recommendations were made to your Board. A total of more than six hundred and twenty (620) inspections were made to insure effective design and con- struction of these systems, and to advise builders and home owners concerning the proper installation, operation, and main- tenance of these new or existing facilities.


RESTAURANT SANITATION


Unannounced inspections of eating establishments were made on several occasions during the year, with the Board of Health Agent. Continued efforts in upgrading some of the eating es- tablishments will be necessary during the coming year in order that they may continue to operate in a satisfactory manner.


MILK INSPECTIONS


A total of four hundred and forty-three (443) samples of milk and cream were collected during the year by your Health Agent from the dairies and other licensed outlets selling milk and cream in Wayland. These samples were examined in the laboratory for total bacterial count, coliform bacteria, and phosphatase, with results reported to the dairies concerned, as required by law. Unsatisfactory results were immediately followed up by your Board of Health Agent, so that corrective action could be taken wherever necessary.


LAKE COCHITUATE BATHING BEACH


During the summer bathing season, weekly samples were collected and examined in the laboratory to provide for a check on the water quality in the bathing area.
