Following the pattern of the previous year there was an increase in costs all along the line. During the last month there was evidence that a peak had been reached and that living costs at least would be somewhat lower during the year 1953. Fortunately there has been no unemployment problem. We have had no employable person on our aid rolls for more than a few weeks and then only because of some unforeseen emergency.


In conclusion we wish to state that the help and co-operation of the Board of Selectmen, their secretary, Mr. Nicksay, and the members of the Advisory Board of the Department of Veterans' Services and the efficient and faithful service of the employees of the department are gratefully acknowledged.

REPORT OF THE ARLINGTON HOUSING AUTHORITY


Report of the Arlington Housing Authority-1952


(Incorporating Report of Robert Hauser, the Executive Director)


We are pleased to submit this our fourth annual report for the calendar year 1952.


At the annual meeting of the Authority, Mr. Myron D. Chace was re-elected Chairman, Mr. Joseph S. Vahey, elected Vice-Chairman, Mr. Cornelius J. Brosnan, Treasurer, Mr. John P. Kedian, Assistant Treas- urer. Mr. W. Dale Barker, resigned from the Authority in March. At a joint meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the remaining members of the Arlington Housing Authority on April 28, 1952, Mr. James A. Coffey was appointed to fill this vacancy.


The outset of the year 1952 found the Arlington Housing Authority engaged in two major enterprises. First, the management of 126 apart- ments in project 200-1; second, the construction of 50 additional apart- ments of project 200-2. As to the new apartments, the work progressed through the first part of the year so that initial occupancy was achieved in August. These were completely occupied by October. The total cost of this project will be approximatedy $690,000.00, and will yield rents of approximately $2,000.00 per month. The Authority reviewed more than 400 applications for housing in order to accomplish the se- lection of 50 families for occupancy. In the construction of these 25 duplex homes, veterans and their families have been properly and ade- quately housed in a development of which the town can be justifiably proud.


From the 126 apartments previously completed and operating, the Authority has collected over $62,000.00 in rents for the year ending 1952. In March of 1952 the Authority paid to the town the sum of $3,003.88, in lieu of taxes. This is over five times the amount the town would have realized in actual taxes if the land had remained at the same assessed valuation as of the time the Authority purchased it. Twelve vacancies occurred during the year. These vacancies were immediately filled with other needy veteran families.


The Authority wishes to thank all the various departments of the town for their help and cooperation in various matters affecting the Arlington Housing Authority.


Respectfully submitted,


Arlington Housing Authority

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT


Report of the Joint Board of Selectmen and Public Works


The Forty-Ninth Annual Report of the Joint Board of Selectmen and Board of Public Works for the year ending December 31, 1952, is herewith submitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of Article 3 of the Town's By-laws.


At the Annual Election held on March 3, 1952, Mr. Marcus L. Sor- ensen was re-elected as a member of the Board of Selectmen and Mr. Thomas J. O'Neill was re-elected as a member of the Board of Public Works, both to serve for a period of three years and by virtue of their re-election became members of the Joint Board.


The Board organized at the meeting held on March 10, 1952, at which time Mr. Edmund L. Frost was elected to serve as Chairman and Mr. Thomas R. Rawson as Vice-Chairman.


In accordance with past custom semi-monthly meetings were held with the exception of the months of July and August. At the first meeting in September, however, the Board voted to hold meetings every two weeks until further notice. This resulted in a total of twenty-two regular meeting and five special meetings throughout the year.


Detailed activities of departments under the jurisdiction of the Joint Board being covered elsewhere in this report, we offer the follow- ing informative facts as a supplement thereto.


STREETS


Continuing the policy pursued during the past few years, the Board again considered a street construction program and voted to again sponsor such a program, but due to legal difficulties encountered in the past two years, reverted to its original policy whereby the construction would include sidewalks and property changes, which had been previ- ously deleted to curtail the cost of betterments. Out of twenty-six ap- plications received, the Board voted its intention to accept and con- struct eleven of these streets, but in view of the objections raised at the subsequent hearings to the expense involved for such construction, only five streets were ultimately recommended for acceptance and construc- tion. All five streets were built under private contract.


Under Chapter 90 of the General Laws, contracts were awarded for the repair, reconstruction and widening of the following ways:


Massachusetts Avenue, from the Cambridge Line to Orvis Road


Pleasant Street, from the Concord Turnpike 700' (more or less) north- easterly


Pleasant Street widening at Lakeview


223


REPORT OF THE JOINT BOARD


Medford Street, from Warren Street to the Mystic Valley Parkway


The State and County shared in these improvements with an al- lotment of $32,000.00, from the State and the County and Town each contributed $16,000.00 as their proportionate share.


Request has again been made of the State and County for projects to be considered under Chapter 90 allotments in 1953, for the following locations:


Massachusetts Avenue, from Orvis Road to Franklin Street $42,120.00


Summer Street, from Mystic Street to Brattle Street $36,600.00


SIDEWALKS AND EDGESTONES


The installation of permanent sidewalks and granite edgestones, under the provisions of law authorizing the assessment of betterments, has been continued at the instigation of abutters applying for such im- provements. An appropriation of $20,000.00 was voted at the Annual Town Meeting for this purpose and the Public Works Department again undertook the task of performing this construction with Town labor.


STREET LIGHTING


The street lighting schedule has been continued throughout the year and additional lighting has been installed on public and private ways wherever it was considered necessary. Surveys were conducted on Pleasant Street and Medford Street, which resulted in the installation of lights of greater lumen power, as well as more lights on these streets, for the protection of the public.


BOARD OF SURVEY PLANS


The Board, sitting as a Board of Survey, held public hearings and approved the following changes and Board of Survey layouts, in ac- cordance with the General Laws:


Change of Name


Langley Road, from Upland Road to South of College Avenue, name changed to Adamian Park


Change of Grade

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST


During the year petitions were received from the Boston Edison Company and the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company for the location and relocation of poles, underground cables, conduits and manholes upon or beneath the surface of public ways in the Town.


The Board wishes to extend its sincere appreciation for the cooper- ation and assistance received during the past year from other Boards, heads of departments, appointed committees and personnel under its jurisdiction, with particular commendation to its immediate staff for their efficient service.

On November 1, 1952 the contract with Frank Reynolds Estate for the conveying of garbage from the Town of Arlington expired. The Board, after considering all fac- tors, decided to advertise for the pick-up, removal, and disposal of garbage from the Town of Arlington by contract. Upon opening the bids it was determined that a substantial savings could be made by awarding contract for the pick-up, removal and disposal of garbage.
