REPORT OF THE JOINT BOARD OF SELECT- MEN AND BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :
The Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works respectfully submits its twenty-seventh annual report for the year ending December 31, 1930. ยท
At the Annual Town Election held March 3, 1930, Mr. William O. Hauser was elected a Selectman for a. term of three years, Mr. Walter F. Robinson was elected a member of the Board of Public Works for a term of three years, and by reason of such elections both became members of this Board.
The Board organized with Mr. Arthur P. Wyman, Chairman, and Mr. John A. Easton, Clerk.
Appointments made for the year ending April 1, 1931, were as follows: Town Counsel, Paul M. White; Town Engineer, James M. Keane; Superintendent of Wires, William E. Mason.
NEW STREETS
In view of the rapid development of the Town it is increasingly evident that a policy of constructing a rea- sonable number of new streets each year must be con- tinued. Of forty (40) streets which came before the Board for consideration, twenty (20) were favorably passed upon and recommended to the Town for accept- ance and construction. Of this number the following
393
394
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
were accepted at the Annual March Meeting, and con- structed during the summer of 1930, viz .:
Aberdeen Road
Higgins Street
Belton Street
Inverness Road
Coleman Road
Iroquois Road
Compton Street
Jean Road
Dow Avenue
Moulton Road
Exeter Street
Richardson Avenue
Hamlet Street
Valentine Road
Waldo Road
The amount appropriated for the work was one hundred twelve thousand five hundred fifty (112,550) dollars and fifty-eight (58) cents. The number of streets accepted and constructed the past seven years is as follows: 1924 six, 1925 five, 1926 eleven, 1927 twelve, 1928 twelve, 1929 twenty, and 1930 fifteen, mak- ing a total of eighty-one new streets. As can be seen by the foregoing, the present street building program commenced in 1926 and should be continued without abatement.
STREET LIGHTS
The present lighting schedule was continued. The Superintendent of Wires recommended the extension of the ornamental lighting system along Massachusetts Avenue from Central and Academy Streets to the Lex- ington line. This was approved by the Board and the lights were installed during the late fall.
SIGNAL SYSTEMS
The Fire Alarm and Police Systems were trans- ferred May 1, 1930, from the Superintendent of Wires to the Chief of the Fire Department and this direct con- trol has worked to the great advantage of the Fire De- partment.
395
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
SIDEWALKS AND EDGESTONES
There was appropriated at the Annual Town Meet- ing sixteen thousand (16,000) dollars for the construc- tion of granolithic walks and driveways and for the installation of edgestones.
Sidewalks, driveways and edgestones were con- structed and installed upon petition of property own- ers.
The Town Engineer recommended the installation of granite edgestones on both sides of Massachusetts Avenue where needed in conjunction with the recon- struction of Massachusetts Avenue between Forest Street and Menotomy Road. The recommendation was approved by the Board and the edgestones were ordered installed.
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE WIDENING
The widening of Massachusetts Avenue was again deferred by failure of the Town to make an appropria- tion for that purpose.
The Board continues of the opinion that this much needed improvement should not be longer delayed.
NEW BOARD OF SURVEY PLANS
Sitting as the Board of Survey, plans for new de- velopments have been received and after careful study approved. The following Board of Survey plans have been accepted and signed :-
College Avenue, Stowecraft Road, Warren Street Extension, Valentine Road, Cedar Avenue, Wollaston Avenue, Wachusett Avenue, Elmhurst Road, Menotomy Way, Shawmut Avenue, Orlando Road, Montrose Avenue, Rockwood Road, Saratoga Road, Winthrop Road, Richfield Road Extension, Mill Street Extension,
396
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Chester Street, Fisher Avenue, Exeter Street and Buck- man Street.
Building lines were established on Mystic Street from Russell and Garden Streets to Summer Street and Mystic Valley Parkway.
Exterior lines were established on Elmhurst Road, Waldo Road, Langley Road, Cedar Avenue Extension, Inverness Road, Wachusett Avenue, and Wollaston Avenue.
The purpose of the foregoing actions was to pre- vent the construction of buildings in the areas which would later become public ways, thus saving the pay- ment of substantial damages by the Town at some later time.
At the recommendation of the Chief of the Fire Department as a safety measure the names of the fol- lowing streets were changed :
Frost Street to Huntington Road
. Hawthorne Avenue to Longfellow Road Harvard Street to Lehigh Street Bowen Street to Quincy Street Gaylord Street to Newport Street Yale Street to Scituate Street Shawmut Avenue to Cutter Avenue Everett Place to Winthrop Road Lake Avenue to Herbert Road Buckman Street to Cypress Street Nourse Road to Reservoir Road
FIRE AND POLICE BOXES
New boxes have been installed and location of others changed where conditions required.
397
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
A detailed report will be found in the report of the Chief of the Fire Department relating to the Fire Alarm and Police Signal Systems.
ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
Hearings have been granted to the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company of Massachusetts, Edison Electric Illuminating Company of Boston and the Boston Elevated Railway upon petitions filed for the location, removal, and relocations of poles, the con- struction of conduits and manholes and for attachment privileges for wires and fixtures.
The Board has granted permits to the Arlington Gas Light Company to install, construct and maintain gas mains in the public ways of the Town, where public convenience required.
Conferences have been held with the Planning Board, and the Chairman of the Metropolitan Planning Board relative to through arteries of traffic, also with the Park Commissioners relative to Park and Play- ground facilities.
The Board has given careful study and considera- tion to all matters coming before it for action and has endeavored to promote the best interests and welfare of the Town.

TOWN ENGINEER'S REPORT
January 27, 1931.
To the Honorable Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works :
Arlington, Mass.
Gentlemen :
I respectfully submit my report as Town Engineer for the year ending December 31, 1930. .
As is to be expected the activities of this depart- ment increase as the Town expands and this year was no exception to the rule, approximately 10% more work being done than last year, and it has been difficult to meet the demands made as the space allotted to this branch of the service is not sufficient for the number of employees necessary to keep pace with the ever increas- ing volume of work.
A vault of fireproof construction with a standard safe door approved by the Underwriters was completed in the basement last June and at that time the task of reproducing all plans filed in this office was begun.
A contract was made with Spaulding Moss Com- pany, of Boston, for the printing of many of these plans which it was impractical for us to attempt to do and 1159 were copied at the price of $1.80 each, which in- cluded a negative and positive reproduction, so in the future if the positive print is lost or destroyed the nega-
402
403
TOWN ENGINEERING REPORT
tive can be run through our own blue printing machine and a copy secured at a very small expense.
In addition to the above plans 4650 were repro- duced in this office, making a total of 5809 originals and 1300 negatives that have been filed in basement vault to date.
At the present time there are about 1000 originals to be copied and this work will be carried to completion as speedily as possible when the funds are available, and this will complete the filing of these very valuable records, some of which could never be reproduced if destroyed, and others only at a great expense.
A Ford touring car was bought in the spring for this department and has saved materially over the old scheme of operation.
I would suggest that another car be purchased in 1931 and then the two survey parties that spend nine (9) months of the year on outdoor work would be well taken care of.
Block plans of the entire town were completed this year, there being 287 sheets in the set and they have proved invaluable to this department.
The Assessors have copies of all these, and through their transfer cards found some sub-division that didn't appear on the plans, as no record plan was filed at the East Cambridge Registry, which is the only source of information this department has had, but now through arrangements made with the Assessors we will receive a copy of all transfers that are not accompanied by a plan.
In addition to the above corrections all buildings erected in 1930, all new developments and sub-divisions
404
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
will have to be shown and this work will be done as early as possible.
Because of the added volume of work it was neces- sary to employ three extra men for the greater part of the last six months of this year, and judging from the amount of work planned for 1931 it is possible they will have to be retained.
I will not attempt to cover the entire field of en- deavors of this department for the year but will men- tion the following as the most important.
Selectmen-Preambulation of all Town Lines and report. Studies for alteration of Broadway and Frank- lin Street and Summer and Mystic Streets, survey and plan for proposed addition to High School, investiga- tion, measurements and pictures of ten (10) accident claims because of supposed defects in way.
Joint Board-109 pieces of work including studies for various Board of Survey layouts, exterior and build- ing line plans, street acceptance plans, contract, specifi- cations and supervision of granolithic walk construc- tion and granite curb installation and calculation of all streets, sidewalk and curb betterment assessments.
Board of Public Works-Staking out, construction grades and final surveys on eighty-eight (88) sewer ex- tensions, forty-four (44) storm drain extensions, and one hundred and nineteen (119) water extensions. Record plans of all of above are being made and all sewer assessments were levied before January 1, 1931. Plans, contract and specifications of 1930 street con- struction and for Brooks Avenue outlet drain were drawn up.
Planning Board -- Studies for layout of main traffic arteries through Lake Street and Spring Street to Lex-
405

ington line, Warren Street Ext. and River Street Ext., Aerial survey control map and various plans and studies.
