Of the above, all, including Brookdale Road, which was carried over from the previous year, were completed, ex- cepting Buena Vista Road and the two sections of New- land Road. These streets will take but a few weeks to complete when the weather permits. Again, with the co-

operation of the Federal Government, all labor used in this connection was furnished through the Work Projects Administration. The details in relation to the cost of mate- rials and equipment are set forth in the report of the Board of Public Works.
STREET LIGHTING
The street lighting schedule was continued as in other years. Upon the recommendation of the Superintendent of Street Lighting, provision was made for the relighting of Broadway, from Franklin Street to the Arlington-Somer- ville boundary line, and of Pleasant Street, from Swan Street to Venner Road. These improvements to Broadway and Pleasant Street have given great satisfaction and have definitely removed hazardous conditions from these streets which had been brought about entirely because of inade- quate lighting.
Additional lighting was also provided at other points in the Town which hitherto had not been adequately illu- mined.
SIDEWALKS AND EDGESTONES
The sum of fifteen thousand (15,000) dollars was ap- propriated at the Annual Town Meeting for the construc- tion of permanent sidewalks and the installation of granite edgestones. The labor used in this connection was also furnished through the Work Projects Administration and, as was true in previous years, this type of work has con- tinued to grow in favor, principally because of the sub- stantial saving in the cost to the property owners. Por- tions of the existing gravel sidewalks in Brantwood Road, Jason Street, Kensington Park, Pond Lane, Hillside Avenue and Florence Avenue were reconstructed of bituminous concrete (black top) upon application of the property own- ers.
NEW BOARD OF SURVEY PLANS
During the year the Board, sitting as the Board of Survey, took favorable action on the application of Henry
331
REPORT OF THE JOINT BOARD
G. Wilton for the approval of layout of "Menotomy Ridge," formerly the Crosby Farm, located on the westerly side of Mystic Street, from a point about opposite Glen Avenue to a point about opposite Kimball Road.
Public hearings were also held during the year and approval was given to plans and profiles of the following streets :
Hillsdale Road, from Spring Street to the Concord Turnpike.
Renfrew Street, from Dow Avenue southerly.
Woodbury Street, from Hibbert Street to Dundee Road.
Exterior lines were established on Hillsdale Road, from Spring Street to the Concord Turnpike, and on Renfrew Street, from a point about 290 feet northerly of Florence Avenue to Dow Avenue. The purpose of establishing such exterior lines was to prevent the construction of buildings in the areas which would ultimately become public ways, thus saving the payment of substantial damages by the Town at some later date.
ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
Hearings have been held when required by law upon petitions filed by the New England Tel. & Tel. Company and the Boston Edison Company for permission to locate, relocate and remove poles in and from public ways and for attachment privileges for wires and fixtures.
Permission has been given the Arlington Gas Light Company to install, construct and maintain gas mains in various public ways of the Town where public convenience required.
Upon the petition of inhabitants of the Town, a hear- ing was given by the County Commissioners with respect to the relocation of Park Avenue, from Prospect Avenue to Cedar Avenue. Said relocation of the westerly side line from #307 to #337 was adjudged necessary and was ap- proved by the County Commissioners.
In conclusion, the members of this Board take pleasure in expressing their sincere appreciation for the assistance and cooperation of other boards, departments and Town
