OTHER: Seldom is much thought given to the work carried on behind the scenes of the library. With staff shortages and an in- creased work load due to booming circulation, it has frequently been difficult to maintain the necessary flow of work. To mention a few of these "behind the scene" duties, the staff has written and mailed 18,935 overdue notices, processed 5,389 reserves, and catalogued 8,834 books.
The library has been the recipient of many gifts during the year. Books, magazines and flowers have been presented by both individuals and groups. Numerous exhibits of interest for display purposes have been loaned by public spirited citizens.
LIBRARY HALLS: During the year 331 community groups met in the Junior Library Hall and the auditorium at Dallin Branch was used for 50 meetings.
PERSONNEL: The sudden death in December of John Loftus, one of the Custodians, was a shock to the entire staff. During the six years he was employed at the Robbins Library, Mr. Loftus was always a conscientious, willing, and cooperative worker.
GROWTH - FUTURE
In her yearly report for 1950, the Librarian wrote "The problem of overcrowding by people and books is a real one .... In this, my last report to the Trustees of the Robbins Library, I wish to express the wish that all of the forward looking plans that have been talked about may materialize in the future, that some may be realized soon, namely, more shelving for the present book collection .... " Ten years ago this was urgent. Today it is a necessity. Book space for addi- tional growth is nonexistent. Reader space is at a minimum. Staff
277
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
work space is lacking. The Robbins Library has grown; no longer can it be designated a small library as it was ten years ago. It has graduated; today it is a medium sized library in a large town. As such, it needs to be given the space in which to cope with ever increasing demands made upon it by the citizens of the community.
The Librarian herewith thanks:
The Board of Library Trustees for the unusual quality of its support and help during the past year and for its tireless effort to give the people of Arlington the best possible library service.
The Staff and Custodians for their interest and loyalty in serving the public.
The Town Manager for his appreciation of and concern for library problems.
The many library friends for their continued support.
Respectfully submitted,
JUDITH E. STROMDAHL Librarian

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Annual Report of the Department of Public Works
Mr. Edward C. Monahan Town Manager Arlington, Mass.
Dear Mr. Monahan:
I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Department of Public Works for the year ending December 31, 1959.
Under the provisions of Chapter 718 of the Acts of 1956 a portion of Jason Street from Massachusetts Avenue southerly was reconstructed.
The Sidewalk and Edgestone program for 1959 was once again completed within the year.
During 1959 the Department constructed Saratoga Road, George Street and University Road. Homer Road, Browning Road, Wash- ington Street, Aerial Street, Carl Road, Epping Street, Crawford Street, Dorothy Road and Marrigan Street were constructed by private contract.
Under Article 61 of the 1959 Warrant whereby certain streets constructed by developers in accordance with specifications as set forth by the Town Engineer were accepted, we completed this con- struction as follows: Heath Road-sidewalks; Wollaston Avenue- installation of catch basins.
The construction of Drake Road under Article 61 also involved the construction of a reinforced concrete and steel overpass which is still under construction. Bids were originally sought to have this work performed by private contract. Inasmuch as Bids were far beyond the amount of money available, plans were revised and now this Department has undertaken the actual construction. Comple- tion of project should be early in 1960.
Public sidewalks of concrete or bituminous concrete construc- tion which had become hazardous or worn out were replaced under our program of maintaining permanent and public sidewalks. This program is a much needed one and should be continued until all public sidewalks are in a safe condition.
The Department constructed the new roadways including new sidewalks and curbstones in front of the Senior High School. We installed a new Parking Area at this same location, all of which was completed prior to the opening of the School year on September 10,1959.
We also constructed the new Parking Area at Russell Common which is now complete other than the roadway entrance from Med- ford Street. Present balance is ample and should legal clearance be given, this project should be entirely complete early in 1960.
I feel at this point that it should be mentioned that our De- partment of Public Works not only fully maintains all functions of Public Works but also performs all types of new construction far beyond the normal scope of Public Works departments in surround- ing Towns and Cities. We are almost completely mechanized and
280
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
as such have progressed much more rapidly than our neighboring communities. This has only become possible through the astute business sense and complete co-operation of the Town Manager, Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee.
Storm Drain main extensions with strategically located catch basins were installed in Chestnut Street, Homer Road, Kipling Road, Lowell Street, Newman Way, Prescott Street, Winslow Street, Rus- sell Terrace, Ridge Street, Spring Street and Wright Street. We have kept our catch basins free of material and debris by our practice of periodically cleaning these catch basins by equipment specifically designed for this purpose.
Public roads and sidewalks were maintained and 34,644 linear feet of public roadways received a seal-coat treatment. I strongly advocate the continuance of this program on as extensive a basis as possible.
Our roadways were constantly cleaned by means of our power sweepers which are on the road constantly from April through December. These machines handle not only the normal dirt accum- mulation but also the leaves from our many trees.
Regular maintenance was performed on our entire Water System. The Sewerage System was cleaned and flushed in that section from Pleasant Street to approximately Oakland Avenue, southside of Massachusetts Avenue and also those sections of the Town which have to be cleaned annually. Here again modernized equipment has allowed us to do the job more efficiently. Under Maintenance of the Sewerage System we also provide for service to those property owners whose particular sewer connections be- come clogged. I feel that this service is definitely one that is greatly appreciated by all who have occasion to call upon us.
Water Mains, Sewer Mains and Storm Drain Mains, including all appurtenances were installed in various locations throughout the Town. Private developers also installed many Sewer, Water and Storm Drain mains in which case we provide all inspection.
Rubbish was collected from all dwellings and most places of business throughout the Town. The volume has increased which is understandable due to the new construction of homes, apartments and industry. In late 1959 we completed our Sanitary Fill pro- gram at area adjacent to Concord Turnpike at Dow Avenue. We then moved to a new area which is located off of Summer Street, east of Reed Street. It was necessary to prepare roadways into this area and I feel that it is reasonable to expect that this Land Reclamation Project will provide the Town with an area for many years to come. Two new 18-yard Gar Wood Packer Bodies were purchased during the year and installed on two 1952 Mack Chassis which have aided greatly in a more efficient operation.
Under Article 34 of the Warrant, "Improvement of Volume and Pressure-Water System" we have continued to improve our entire Water System. We cleaned 8,015 feet of Water Mains, installed a larger water main on Linden Street; Massachusetts Avenue at Heights business area; installed main from Churchill Avenue through Menotomy Rocks Park to Jason Street and eliminated a dead end on Prospect Avenue at Hillside Avenue.

During the Winter Season of 1959 we continued our thorough program of keeping all streets plowed and adequately salted and sanded. Constant effort is being expended to make this operation a thorough one and yet keep the costs within reason.
Skating areas were prepared and maintained throughout the season. It is quite clear from expressions of those interested that these areas are greatly appreciated.
We also performed many services for other departments: School Department
Constructed wall and playground area, Junior High West.
Refinished desks, chairs, tables, etc.
Board of Selectmen -
Delivered and maintained voting equipment in all Precincts through the Town.
Committee on Swimming Conditions-Arlington Heights Reservoir- The Department of Public Works constructed a new swimming beach. Much of the fill necessary for this construction was from the Construction of Parking Area at Russell Common.
We maintained and serviced thirty-one (31) additional town- owned vehicles for other Departments. This with our own vehicles involves approximately 135 cars, trucks and mobile equipment which are maintained by our Garage Automotive Repair Division. All departments were allowed to draw upon our stock which is purchased in bulk lots.
