of property and esthetic values would be enormous.


SAND HILL AREA:


The Board for years has held that the Sand Hill Area, west of the river, on Route 20 , and adjacent to Sudbury, should be de- veloped for commercial purposes. The poor prospects, mentioned above, for resolving the question of the Route 20 By-Pass, leads the Board to proceed with recommendations as to how this area may best be developed, particularly that part north of the present Route 20. The location of the unsightly Wayland Dump is also involved in the general problem. In this connection, the Board has taken two steps:


(1) We pursued the acquisition from the Boston Edison Co. of additional land for the dump, so as to allow greater screening of the site, to prevent contamination of the marshes and river, and to allow for a change to a land fill method of disposal at the dump.


(2) We hope to engage in a professional study of the com- mercial land use possibilities of this area, together with the Sudbury Planning Board. This study will provide information describing how a regional incinerator might be advantageous to both Towns. It will also provide in- formation for possible Zoning changes for the area, to achieve the most attractive and most valuable commer- cial use of the area.


POPULATION AND PROJECTIONS:


In the Board's Special Report on Planning, issued in October 1962, a population projection was made as shown in the following table, along with actual figures to date:


Year


Estimate


Actual


January 1, 1962


11,445


January 1, 1963


11,750


11,782


January 1, 1964


12,200


12,091


January 1, 1965


12,630


12,192


January 1, 1966


13,100


Although population is running slightly behind the estimates, the reason may well be the slowdown of subdivision activity prior to 1965. It would, therefore, seem that population growth would accelerate in 1967, or 1968, due to increased subdivision activity


179


in 1965.


We estimate that under present zoning, the maximum population will be about 20, 000.

REPORT OF THE TOWN SURVEYOR


The following is a schedule of items that have been done for 20 different sections of roads that were under construction this past year:


Review of Subdivision Plans . Reports to Planning Board. Estimates of road construction for establishment of bonds. Supervision of construction. Inspection for release of bonds. Attendance at Planning Board Meetings, and the walking of subdivisions.


Also accomplished this year, was the review of the 1954 Rules and Regulations of the Planning Board.


The program to complete bounding of our roads, got off to a start with 37 points set for the location of concrete markers in the spring. The Town has about 350 bounds to be set, on roads that have been layed out but have not been bounded. Other bounds needed to be set are those that are missing on county road layouts, which the county will replace upon petition. A number of Town line bounds were found to be missing when the Selectmen perambulated the bounds on their five year interval this year, which will have to be replaced.


The acquisition of some 1400 plans from the Registry of Deeds was made during the year. The plans include all the plans made of land in the Town of Wayland that have been filed in the Middlesex Registry of Deeds, South District, Cambridge, Mass., from 1931 to the present time.


Plans for the Annual and Special Town Meetings resulted in the preparation of 20 plans for different land transfers and road layouts, which are accomplished by a procedure of research, survey, compu- tations, drafting and reproduction. Metes and bounds descriptions are made up for each parcel, along with a transparency to be shown at Town Meeting.


Liason between engineering firms, county engineers, state engi- neers, the M. D. C., the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service, in connect- ion with their recent acquisitions, the different departments and committees of the Town Government, and the residents of the Town, has been another of the major efforts of this department over the past year.

Thanks are given to all that have helped this department to do its job this past year.


Respectfully submitted, LEWIS L. BOWKER, JR.


REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN


During the year 1965 all of the roadside trees in the entire town were checked and dead branches that overhung the roadways were removed as well as several trees which had become rotted or weak, creating a potential hazard in a windstorm or other severe weather condition.


The tree planting program continued and thirty-five maple trees were set out in areas where they were most needed.


It would be greatly appreciated if property owners having trees near the roadway, would examine them for dead wood or rotted cavities on the trunk, and would remove or repair such trees. An ice, snow, or windstorm could cause a tree or portion of a tree, to fall upon the highway and constitute serious damage or traffic hazard.

REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION -- 1965


The Conservation Commission met throughout the year on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Mr. G. Prentiss Rich- ardson replaced Mr. Joseph H. Carroll as the Water Department representative.


Continuing its earlier efforts, the Commission focused attention on ways and means of protecting the Town's brooks. In consequence, it proposed two Articles for the Annual Town Meeting, on wetland conservancy regulations. A public hearing and several meetings in watershed areas were held. Because certain legal questions arose requiring rewriting of the proposals, they were passed over at the request of the Commission.


The Town Meeting did approve the purchase of approximately 1. 3 acres (57, 148 sq. feet) of land, formerly belonging to Ronald S. Camp- bell, and bordering on the Picard tract earlier acquired.


It appeared to the Commission that the problems related to brooks protection, could not be separated from other equally pressing con- servation problems, and that a comprehensive plan was needed to de- termine priorities and means of implementing a town wide program.


Accordingly, an Advisory Committee was created to assist the Commission in drawing up an outline of objectives and a program of action. Such a committee, composed of B. Allen Benjamin, John T. Howard, Dunbar Holmes, Mrs. Charles R. Thomas, Robert H. Charnock, James D. Wells, Henry H. Kolm, George K. Lewis and Mrs. Herbert Lipton, met in April and May to complete this con- sulting task.


A variety of sub-committees was also established to assist on specific aspects of the planning process. Mrs. Luther Davis agreed to serve as project coordinator, and Mrs. L. Thomas Linden wrote several feature stories for local papers, describing the work of the Conservation Commission and its sub-committees.


The following sub-committees worked with the Commission:


Soil Survey Evaluation: Mrs. Charles R. Thomas and Benjamin W. Gary, Jr., Co-Chairmen; Harrison L. Bennett (Com- mission Member), Dr. John G. Freymann, (for Board of Health), Mrs. Stephen E. Hodges (for Planning Board), Dr. Peveril Meigs, Nathan Newbury III, and Lewis Bowker, Town Surveyor, as consultant.


183


Forests and Trails: Walter B. Parker and David A. Trageser, Co-Chairmen; Roger E. Ela, Mrs. George H. Hart, George K. Lewis, John Eric Nelson, John L. Neumeyer, Willis B. Ryder, Mr. and Mrs. Colin Steel, Mrs. Francis H. Stites, and Allen H. Morgan (for the Commission).


Brooks and Wetlands: Mrs. Herbert Lipton, Chairman; B. Allen Benjamin, L. William Bertelsen, Dunbar Holmes, John T. Howard, Henry H. Kolm, Edward C. Mendler (for the Commission) and G. P. Richardson.


High School Planting: Warren Kindred, Chairman; Bruce F. Kingsbury (for School Committee), Edward F. Maley, R. Bruce McGill (Superintendent of Schools), Delvin E. Kendall, John Eric Nelson, Louis Taris and Mrs. Samuel Cutler (for the Commission).


Cooper Land Management: Mrs. Richard E. Robinson, Chair- man (for the Commission); Kenneth A. Moon, L. Irving Pollitt, Mrs. Leroy Woodard, Mrs. Monroe A. Hoes, Curtis D. Engberg, Mrs. K. C. Black, and D. Bruce Mont- gomery.


In the Snake Brook Reservoir -- Hamlen Woods Area, Kenneth A. Moon undertook to prepare a questionnaire to residents and ascertain attitudes toward reservation use. An open meeting was held to review questionnaire results with the Commission, and to agree on further steps to ensure proper management of the reservation.


A planning consultant, Mr. Charles Downe, was hired to aid the Commission in assembling and evaluating the work of the sub- committees, and to provide clerical and technical information as needed. At a Special Town Meeting in December, the sum of $5, 500 was voted for such planning consultant expenses. A conservation master plan report is scheduled to be ready for presentation to the Town in 1966.


The Commission conferred with the Selectmen, Board of Health and Planning Board relative to the Hatch Act, a state law governing certain actions in inland wetland areas, so that a unified approach toward its application would exist on a local level. A statement and questionnaire to guide town officials and applicants, has been pre- pared by the Commission. Cooperation with other town bodies on matters of mutual concern has been sought.

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.


b. The purchase of revolvers, holsters, and Sam Browne belts, for all personnel of the Department.


c. The purchase of all-weather rain gear for the whole Department.


d. Selecting one more Sergeant from the ranks of the Department.


e. 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


We have used our Radar Equipment to good advantage this year and also at this time I would like to mention that we have had no fatal accidents in the last two years.


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.

From a National standpoint, 1965 will be recorded as one of the worst fire years in history. The continued record drought contri- buted much to the overall losses. In Wayland, however, we are fortunate to be able to report that with the cooperation of the citizen- ry, we were able to keep the fire threat in check, and record an ex- tremely low fire loss, despite the general hazardous conditions. Fire bans were necessary many times during the year, and mobile patrols were assigned in the effort to maintain maximum control.


190


The Department itself, suffered a great loss on January 9, 1965, with the passing of Lieutenant Albert Lawrence, a dedicated firefighter with 34 years service with the Department.


On May 5, 1965, firefighter Ralph D. Shanley was severely burned when he became trapped during firefighting operations, involving a two and one-half story frame dwelling on Pemberton Road. Firefighter Shanley was hospitalized for several weeks.


On May 10, 1965, firefighter Robert G. Whelchel was cited for his courageous action during this same operation for his efforts in rescu- ing his fellow firefighter Shanley from the second floor of the building where he had been overcome. Firefighter Whelchel was also burned as he carried out the rescue operation, and was hospitalized for a short period of time.


During the year, the Department actively participated in the work of the Code Enforcement Committee.


Fire prevention activities by this department, included the periodic inspection of all municipal buildings, nursing homes, commercial and industrial buildings, churches, and multiple family dwellings. Single family dwellings were inspected on request, and recommendations 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.


The regular department training program was conducted in the spring and fall. In addition, full time and part-time members of the department attended seminars and conferences, conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Fire Department Instructors, the Fire Apparatus Maintenance Association, the Boston Fire Department, and the International Association of Fire Chiefs.


One man completed the training course for divers, and was assign- ed to the Department Underwater Search and Recovery Team. This unit now numbers five members. Acting Captain Ronald E. Profit, a member of the diving team, has been assigned the responsibility of commanding this unit, which was established in 1964. The team trains on a continuous basis through the year. The divers actively partici- pated in recovery operations twice during the past summer. The first operation took them into 45 feet of water at Lake Cochituate, to assist the Framingham Fire Department in the recovery of a drowning victim.


The municipal fire alarm system was extended this year by the Department, a distance of 5, 800 feet on the north end of Rice Road. The alarm system was also extended by the installations made by sub-


191


division contractors on Joyce Road, Wayside Road, Bigelow Road, Old Weston Road, Ripley Lane and Jericho Lane.


On May 1, 1965, two men were added to the regular force.


During the summer and early fall, meetings were held with the Board of Selectmen to review current planning and study future needs. New long range plans, designed to continue the development of a mod- ern progressive Fire Department, were discussed and projected.


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. HAR TIN, Chief Wayland Fire Department

York Road extended off Campbell Road.


The following pieces of property were condemned, through con- demning procedures by the Code Enforcement Committee, and were torn down:


Two-car Garage at 14 Dunster Avenue Cottage at 198 Commonwealth Road


Demolition permits were issued to the owners of property listed below, who tore down the buildings voluntarily, either to rebuild on the same site, or because the buildings had outlived their usefulness:


Shed at 232 Old Connecticut Path


Garage and Sheds at 220 Old Connecticut Path


Recreation Building at 36 Riverview Avenue


Rectory of St. Zepherin's at 99 Main Street Guest House at 96 School Street


House at 9 Valley View Road


Garage and Kennel at 96 School Street


House at 206 Boston Post Road


Cottage at 88 Lake Shore Drive House and out-buildings at 67 Rice Road


In 1964 the State enacted new laws governing nursery schools. These laws made it extremely difficult for the owners of existing schools to make the necessary changes to have their premises qual- ify. However, these changes were made, and the two schools that are privately operated, as well as the places of public assembly,


195


where nursery classes are held, now qualify to the new requirements.


In 1965 the State enacted new laws governing nursing homes.
