I wish at this time to thank you, the members of the Board of Public Welfare, and all officials, department heads and employees of the town who have assisted me and members of my staff through- out the year. Particularly do I thankfully acknowledge the co-opera- tion of the workers in this department, and the many services rendered by private social agencies, service organizations, church and civic groups and individuals. I feel that we are all dedicated to the proposition that economic insecurity must be replaced by pur- poseful and useful living. It is our biggest problem today.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Annual Report of the Department of Public Works
Mr. Edward C. Monahan Town Manager Arlington, Mass.
Dear Mr. Monahan:
The Department of Public Works herewith submits its Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1955.
The Department during 1955 constructed Sunnyside Avenue from Broadway to its end; Hamlet Street from Beacon Street to Webster Street; Philips Street from Beacon Street to Webster Street; Edgehill Road from Summer Street to Richfield Road and Farrington Street from Mystic Street to Rangeley Road.
In accordance with Article 44 of the Warrant for 1955, a sidewalk was installed on the South side of Lowell Street from Park Avenue to the Reservoir.
In accordance with Article 45 of the Warrant of 1955, Edgestone and a Granolithic Sidewalk was installed on the North side of Eastern Avenue from Grand View Road to vicinity of Scituate Street. Other sidewalks and edgestones were installed from the Sidewalk and Edge- stone appropriation, Article 43 of 1955.
Sewer mains, water mains and storm drain mains were installed in various locations throughout the Town. All underground structures such as sewer, water and storm drains were maintained and cleaned.
The collection of Rubbish from all residential and business areas was performed on a weekly basis. In connection with this, it was necessary to utilize the area in the rear of the Reservoir, inasmuch as the Fowles Pond area is rapidly becoming filled.
All public roadways and sidewalks were maintained and many roadways received a seal-coating treatment. This program will be continued in 1956 to as great an extent as possible.
During the winter season snow and ice were removed from our highways and sidewalks and every effort made to provide the type of service which Arlington residents have been accustomed to and expect.
Under the provisions of Article 42, Improvement of Volume and Pressure-Water System, many miles of water mains were cleaned. The entire length of Oxford Street was relayed, installing a 10" main and removing an old 6" main which was in bad condition. Many hydrants found leaking, frozen or otherwise obsolete were replaced.
On August 18, 1955 "Diane" struck this area with full force and the resulting water damage was substantial. It was necessary to sand- bag the Reservoir in order to hold back the water. The Boston and Maine Railroad Tracks were inundated, and it became necessary to sandbag the area at Mill Lane and Frazer Road. Working closely with the Fire Department, we pumped out 1185 buildings, both public and privately owned. Roadways were badly gutted and it was neces- sary to make temporary repairs immediately, in order that travel could be continued. At a later date permanent repairs were made to sidewalks and streets damaged.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
The Department serviced and repaired all vehicles owned by the Town with the exception of Fire apparatus. This, without question, saved considerable sums due to our nominal charges for labor per- formed and our bulk purchasing of tires, parts, grease, oil and gasoline.
