During the year a careful study has been made of each building by the School Committee, together with the fire chief and the town building inspector, and a report was presented at the special Town meeting in December of several things that might be done for further protection of life and property. The Town, at the meeting just mentioned, voted enough money to install six fire boxes on school buildings. The Committee proposes to ask the Town for continued appropriations to complete this safety program.
The new building on land adjacent to Fessenden Road (Junior High School-West) was completed shortly after the school year began in September and the Building Committee allowed occupancy of the building on September 26, although it had not been officially accepted by the Town. On Decem- ber 8, the building was formally turned over to the Town, through the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, and by him turned over to the School Department. The outside premises are still in the care of the Building Committee, since the grading is not yet completed.
The school housing situation is as follows: The High School is the largest in its history and the building is nearly filled. In the very near future something must be done for its relief. The Junior High School-Center is not full to capa- city and the two-room portable at that site is not in use at present, neither is the Junior High School-West full to capacity. It is hoped that another school year we shall be able to utilize our housing resources at the two Junior High Schools more intensively so as to afford relief where it is most needed.
By means of a modified platoon system all of the ele- mentary buildings except the Russell are caring for more pupils than the buildings were designed to accommodate. Even basements and assembly halls are in constant use. The Crosby School with sixteen ordinary class rooms has twenty classes ; the Parmenter with five rooms has six classes ; the
268
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Locke with sixteen rooms has twenty classes; the Cutter with eight rooms has fourteen classes.
This brief summary of conditions shows that the proper housing of our school population is a very serious problem, especially in view of an anticipated annual increase of not less than 200, during the next several years. It is evident that in the near future the Town of Arlington will be called upon to consider the building of additional school accommodations.
In conclusion, it may be said, that the Committee has under consideration a number of matters intended to increase the efficiency of the school system, both educationally and in the matter of business administration.
Respectfully submitted,
MYRON W. DOLE, Chairman.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

APPOINTMENTS
At a meeting held on March 8th, George E. Ahern was appointed Superintendent of Public Works. April 4, Harold N. Willis was appointed Clerk of the Board, Water Registrar, Purchasing Agent and Bookkeeper. These appointments were for the year ending April 1, 1922.
MEETINGS
The meetings are held Monday evenings. During the year the Board held forty-seven meetings.
The following are the net expenditures made under the direction of the Board :

The reconstruction of Massachusetts Avenue, begun in 1917, was continued this year. With the $15,000.00 appro- priated for reconstruction work, a section 797 feet long and 24.3 feet wide, on the north side, between Everett and Tufts Streets and a stretch 600 feet long and 23.5 feet wide on the north side between Palmer and Franklin Streets ;was laid by
272
273
REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Simpson Brothers Corporation, of the type of construction known as the Hassam Compressed Concrete Pavement. " On the north side, a section 692 feet long and 13.3 feet wide from Schouler Court to Grove Street was constructed by John Gaf- fey, using the Asphalt Macadam Penetration Method.
Five years have elapsed since this reconstruction work started and but one-fifth of the Avenue has been covered. It does not take much of a mathematician to figure out that unless larger yearly appropriations are available, it will take twenty years to complete the work. It costs an average of $4,500 per year to maintain the old surface. Each new section reconstructed reduces this maintenance cost, as reconstructed sections require no tar treatment and practically no upkeep.
The Board has requested for 1922 an appropriation of $30,000 for reconstruction of streets, believing that the expend- iture of such a sum this year is necessary.
With the $7,500 available for that purpose, storm drains were constructed on the north side of Massachusetts Avenue from Pond Lane to Franklin Street, and from Harlow to Eve- rett Streets. This work was done in conjunction with the reconstruction of the street. Storm drains were also laid in Everett Street and Broadway.
Each heavy rainfall emphasizes the need of more storm drains. The Town's streets, being hard surfaced, no longer absorb water, causing flood conditions in many sections not provided with a drainage system. The storm drains in Orvis Road have been proven inadequate to cope even with the water from a smart shower and the Board feels that the situation there should be immediately remedied. An appropriation of $25,000 for 1922 is requested for the extension of storm drains.
The sidewalks and streets suffered tremendously, as did those of other towns in our immediate vicinity, from the deluge of July 9th. Naturally sidewalks on the hill streets suffered the most and their repair used up so much of the Highway appropriation available for sidewalk work, that of necessity many much needed repairs, especially to the old permanent tar walks had to be abandoned. It is proposed, if the appropri- ation requested for 1922 is given, to repair many permanent walks now 'badly cracked.
The construction of Bowdoin Street, for which an appro- priation was made by the Town at the March Meeting, was placed in the hands of this Board by the Joint Board of Select- men and Board of Public Works. Bids were invited on this work and were received from five contractors. That of Cole- man Brothers was the lowest and the work was awarded to

them and was performed in a satisfactory manner under the supervision of the Town Engineer.
Reference to Tables I and 2 will show the details of main- tenance, construction and snow and ice expense.
