REPORT OF THE JOINT BOARD OF SELECT- MEN AND BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Arlington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
The Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works respectfully submits its twenty-sixth annual re- port for the year ending December 31, 1929.
At the Annual Town Election held March 4, 1929, Mr. Hollis M. Gott was reelected a Selectman for a term of three years. Mr. Walter F. Robinson was reelected member of the Board of Public Works for a period of one year. By such reelection they continued as members of the Joint Board. Mr. F. Leo Dalton was elected mem- ber of the Board of Public Works for a term of three years and by virtue of his election became a member of the Joint Board.
The Board organized with Mr. Luke A. Manning, Chairman, and Mr. John A. Easton, Clerk.
The following appointments were made for the year ending April 1, 1930 ; Town Counsel, Paul M. White ; Town Engineer, James M. Keane; Superintendent of Wires, William E. Mason.
STREET LIGHTS
The present lighting schedule was continued.
The Superintendent of Wires recommended a slight change in the time schedule by adding ten minutes in the
294
295
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
evening and ten minutes in the morning, giving twenty minutes more of illumination each day. Small lamps have been replaced by lamps of greater candle power at points where illumination was insufficient. The orna- mental lighting system is being extended and will ulti- mately be completed to the Lexington line on Massachu- setts Avenue.
FIRE AND POLICE BOXES
The Superintendent of Wires has installed Fire and Police Boxes at the various locations requested by the Fire and Police Chiefs and a detailed account will be found in his report.
NEW STREETS
Very satisfactory progress was made this year in the street building program. Approximately two hun- dred ninety thousand (290,000) dollars was appropriated for this purpose at the Annual Town Meeting, and the fol- lowing streets were constructed :
Alton Street
Mystic Lake Drive
Falmouth Road West
Newman Way
Fountain Road
Newport Street
Florence Avenue
Oak Knoll
Franklin Street
Pine Ridge Road
Plymouth Street
Hayes Street Hemlock Street
Revere Street
High Haith Road
Temple Street
Howard Street
Trent Street
Menotomy Road
Wildwood Avenue
Mount Vernon Street
Windermere Avenue
This was the largest number of new streets ever constructed in one year. If for the next five years the policy of building as many new streets each year as the Town can afford is continued, the street program will have caught up with the developments.
296
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
SIDEWALKS AND EDGESTONES
The sum of sixteen thousand (16,000) dollars was appropriated for the construction of permanent side- walks and edgestones. The sidewalks constructed have been of granolithic and located on residential streets. Be- cause of the large number of newly constructed walks broken by trucks and automobiles driving or backing over them it seemed wise to the members of the Board to install granite curb to protect the walks constructed this year.
This resulted in fewer walks being constructed but saved the Town the added expense of reconstruction.
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE WIDENING
It was the expectation of the Joint Board that the County Commissioners and the Department of Public Works of the Commonwealth would contribute a consid- erable amount toward the widening and reconstruction. Negotiations were instituted and there appeared to be good reason to expect satisfactory results, therefore, an article was placed in the Warrant of the Annual March Meeting of 1929 requesting the Town to authorize the widening and construction.
On the day of the meeting word was received that the Commonwealth would contribute only ten thousand (10,000) dollars for this purpose. This amount was so small in relation to the estimated cost of the work that it was deemed inadvisable to go forward with the matter this year.
NEW BOARD OF SURVEY PLANS
The Board has accepted and signed Board of Survey Plans showing the proposed laying out of the following streets :-
297
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Lennon Road, Valentine Road, Mill Street, Alpine Street, Reed Street, Thesda Street, Bellington Street, Eustice Street, Fayette Street, Charles Street, Crawford Street Extension, Martin Street, Berkley Street, Village Lane, Fessenden Road, Hamlet Street, Dow Avenue, Val- entine Road, Jason Street, Franklin Street and Lewis Avenue.
There are other plans before the Board which are being given careful study.
ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
There are in different sections of the Town areas which are not provided with main storm and outlet drain systems or main sewer systems. There are many streets within these areas which are now fully developed and the property owners residing thereon have petitioned this Board for their acceptance. Because of the aforesaid conditions no action could be taken. In order that the acceptance and construction of these streets may not be needlessly delayed this Board has conferred with the Board of Public Works to ascertain if it would be feasible- to construct the necessary systems in the near future. There appears to be no reason for deferring the installa- tion of such drain systems, provided the Town will vote the necessary funds at the Annual Meeting.
Hearings have been given on petitions from the Edi- son Electric Illuminating Company of Boston, New Eng- land Telephone and Telegraph Company of Massachusetts and the Boston Elevated Railway Company for pole loca- tions and underground conduits, and the Arlington Gas Light Company requests for locations for gas mains and services have been granted.
The Board has held conferences with the Planning Board and the Chairman of the Metropolitan Planning
298
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Board in relation to various projects which are being developed .to provide additional through routes in and around the Town also with the Park Commissioners rela- tive to the development of additional parks and play- grounds.
All matters coming before the Board have been given careful consideration and the Board has endeavored at all times to be fair and impartial in the final disposition of them.

REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL
December 31, 1929
Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works.
Gentlemen :
In connection with the establishing of building lines along both sides of Massachusetts Avenue in 1924, the eleven petitions for the assessment of damages relating to premises east of Schouler Court have been settled. Of the nine petitions relating to premises west of Schouler Court that were pending at the beginning of the year, in two, settlements have been made, in six, settlements have been agreed upon and in one, negotiations are being con- ducted.
In connection with the laying out of Gray Street, two of the six petitions for alleged damages have been settled. In each of the remaining four cases an offer of settlement was made to the petitioner but was not accepted. The cases were, therefore, tried together and in each the jury brought in a verdict for the petitioner in the nominal sum of one dollar. The petitioners have filed a bill of excep- tions. Damon E. Hall, Esq., acted for the Town in the con- duct of the trial.
The bill in equity of C. Alfred Myshrall to have certain land on Massachusetts Avenue decreed to be free from certain zoning by-law provisions has been dismissed by agreement.
The petitions of Florence M. Wiggins and of Nora Leary for damages by reason of the taking of land for

In the petition of Elsie L. Baxter for alleged damages from the establishing of a building line along Tufts Street between Broadway and Warren Street, and in the action of Thomas F. Meany against the Town for alleged breach of contract, settlements have been agreed upon.
All settlements have been for sums approved by the Selectmen.
The following matters are pending in the Middlesex Superior Court:
1. In connection with the Massachusetts Avenue building lines, seven petitions relating to premises west of Schouler Court.
2. The petitions of Manuel M. Costa and of Mary C. Costa, et al., relating to the establishing of the exterior lines and the laying out of Mystic Lake Drive.

In the Land Court the Town received notice of twelve petitions for registration and five were pending at the end of the year.
During the year a number of claims have been dis- posed of and attention has been given to twenty-four actions of trustee process, to numerous claims for work- men's compensation, to the drafting of various in- struments, to the furnishing of legal opinions and to other matters including takings by eminent domain and settle- ments therefor.

TOWN ENGINEER'S REPORT
To the Honorable Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works:
Gentlemen :
I respectfully submit my report as Town Engineer for the year ending December 31, 1929.
The requests for surveys, plans, estimates, contracts, etc., have increased very rapidly in this department the past year, and it has been a constant struggle to meet these demands, due principally to the crowded condition of the draughting room.
If the volume of work continues, additional space will be necessary in the near future, in order to take care of the numerous requests in an economical and efficient manner.
Block plans, on a scale of forty feet to the inch, show- ing all buildings, lot numbers, areas, dimensions, street numbers, the location, size and fittings on all water mains in the entire Town, were started this year, and rapid progress was made toward completion.
These plans will be of great value to this department and other departments of the Town, and will be ready for use in the fall of 1930.
Maps were started this year showing the location and sizes of all future extensions of sewer and surface water drainage systems in every section of the Town.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
In the study made in connection with this work, it was found that some mains installed in the past were in- adequate to take the flow that will eventually find its way to them, so these have been refigured and shown on the new maps, and at the proper time will be relaid.
The proposed mains have been very carefully figured and checked as to size and location, and whatever exten- sions are made of either system, will be in accordance with these maps, and the possibility of installation of a pipe of insufficient capacity is removed.
All new Board of Survey plans of undeveloped sections were studied, checked, and filed away; fifty-three sewer assessment plans were figured and the assessments levied before January 1, 1930; forty-five sections of surface water drains were located, and the record plans are being draughted; eighty-seven water mains were tied in and · the plans will be made at the first opportunity ; lines and grades for the construction of twenty-two streets were given, final measurements taken, cost of work figured and betterment assessments calculated; twenty-eight sec- tions of granolithic sidewalk and granite curbing were constructed, measured and assessments levied; lines and grades were given for rough grading playgrounds in rear of Senior High School and at Peirce School, and for fin- ished grading at Junior High School West, this work be- ing done under the supervision of this department; a number of studies were made for the Planning Board, Park Commissioners, Cemetery Commissioners, and vari- ous other Boards.
The regular 'routine work, such as street numbering plan locations of all new buildings, setting of street lines and grades for different projects, furnishing locations of lines and grades for sewer and water extensions, hy- drants, etc., has been carried on as usual.
