TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
REPORT OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Lynnfield:
During the year 1946 the Board met once a week in order to carry out their duties. In the early part of the year much time was spent in preparing the budgets and warrants for the annual town meeting.
After the town meeting we did our best to carry out the wishes of the people as expressed at the meeting. There were six hearings held during the first six months on complaints against dogs. Many hear- ings were held on petitions of the Telephone Company and various light companies on the erection and re-location of poles throughout the town.
In July the Board awarded a pension to Mrs. Peavey as required by law after a finding by three doctors.
During the year improvement was made in the street lighting in South Lynnfield and plans have been made to improve the lighting in the Center during the early part of 1947.
We have realized that this town is due for a very rapid expansion during the next few years and therefore enacted two new health regu- lations. One of these regulations requires that all milk sold in this town now has to be pasteurized. Another regulation sets up plumbing rules and regulations.
Speed signs have been ordered and an effort will be made during 1947 to reduce speeding through town.

REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
REPORT OF TOWN COUNSEL
February 3, 1947
Board of Selectmen,
Lynnfield, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
Matters passing through this department during the past year have been routine so that no special comment is necessary.
I wish, however, to call attention to a situation which, in my opin- ion, should be taken care of.
Our town accepted the provisions of the Workmen's Compensation Act insofar as laborers, workmen, and mechanics are involved. In pre- vious years a fund was set up by annual appropriations and from this fund medical bills and weekly indemnity where required have been paid. We have been particularly fortunate in that none of the injuries have been serious or involving prolonged disability.
By progressive stages the benefits under the Workmen's Compensa- tion Act have been increased in cases of disability to not more than $25.00 nor less than $18.00 weekly and up to $10,000.00.
For permanent incapacity, compensation of not more than $25.00 nor less than $18.00 weekly shall be paid practically for life.
Partial incapacity may run to $10,000.00 and in addition there is an additional weekly allowance for dependents which may bring the week- ly payment up to the total weekly wage of the employee.
In death cases a maximum payment of $7,600.00 may be allowed.
It is obvious that one serious case would wipe out the compensation fund and the hazards are further increased now that the School De- partment wishes to include teachers of the school system.
Under the present acceptance of the Compensation Act, the jani- tors of the Town Hall and the different buildings, employees of the moth department, highway department, janitors of schools and employees of cemeteries and parks are covered. I believe we should extend our ac- ceptance to include the general clerk at the Town Hall, the welfare agent, and other full time employees. To include the teachers, as de- sired by the school committee, the total cost of insurance, based on last year's tables would amount to about $875.00 annually. This may seem like a large amount but it would relieve the Town of any responsibility of payment. The request of the school committee which appears to be in order would include teachers under the present compensation fund.
Under the law it is not possible to include policemen and firemen under the acceptance as they are specifically excluded.
Very truly yours, JOSEPH W. CASSIDY
Town Counsel

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Town of Lynnfield, Mass. Gentlemen:
The past year's work was carried along the same lines as in previous years. Woodlands were looked over for Gypsy Moth infestations, and creosoted. There is a slight increase in Gypsy Moth in the south part of town, on Walnut St. and the Turnpike near the Saugus line. No Browntail Moth webs were found.' The Tent Caterpillars and Fall Web Worms were very heavy last year. The Elm Leaf Bettle was about the same as last year, very heavy on private property. This work is carried on under the supervision of the State Department of Conservation. The

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
At the last Annual Town Meeting an appropriation was made for the care of shade trees. This appropriation was used to take down dead and dangerous trees, also to trim up trees where there were dangerous limbs. There was extra work last year due to the hurricane in June. The department purchased and planted 109 trees of various kinds along the highways. I hope that a much larger appropriation will be made at the next Annual Town Meeting to carry on this work, and that a similar amount will be provided for the purchase of trees to be planted along the highways.

Gentlemen:
I have been very fortunate in having a very co-operative crew this past year.
Pillings Pond Road to the extent of thirteen hundred and fifty feet was completed, Pine Hill Road was rebuilt, and a section of Summer Street was rebuilt under permanent construction.
We had more than average snowfall this past year and so far in 1947 ice and sleet has been on the increase.
Added to our equipment this year was a Cletrac Sidewalk Plow de- livered in January 1947.

During the past year we have lost the services of our District Health Officer, Robert Archibald, M. D., who has been a very great help to us in any type of health work that we have undertaken. He has been promoted to fields of greater endeavor. I have every confidence that our new District Health Officer, Walter J. Pennell, M. D., will very ably continue in the same helpful manner.
This past year we continued with our annual clinics for immuniza- tion against Diphtheria, Whooping Cough and Vaccination for pre- school children. We had very good support with a goodly number of children treated. This work will be continued this year.
The Well Baby Clinic, a State supported function, has been carried on and well attended. This is of inestimable value to the Town. We are planning to continue this clinic during the following year. This confer- ence is under the auspices of the Parent-Teachers' Association.
I wish to repeat again that it is very important that contagious dis- eases be reported. This applies whether the family physician is called or not. In the latter case it is the duty of the family to notify the Board of Health under the State Laws of Massachusetts. We have not had as many cases of communicable diseases this year as last year. In this re- spect we have been very fortunate, which reflects co-operation given by the various departments of the Town.
In the clinics we have been very ably assisted by Mrs. Lucy Lind- quist, R. N., who has also been of assistance in the follow-up of cases of Tuberculosis.

TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
This first post-war year has been an interesting and eventful one for the committee responsible for administering to the educational needs of the children of your Town.
We take this early opportunity to express our appreciation for the cooperation of all with whom we have had contact, more especially the parents who have so many times been long-suffering with us in arriving at those solutions which, we hope, have been to the educational benefit of our children. It has always been a pleasure to entertain the construc- tive criticisms of those who have met with us at our regular monthly meetings at the Centre School. Much by way of progress and better- ment has arisen as a result of these open meetings.
We were happy to welcome to the Committee this year a former member, Mr. John S. Caldwell, whose previous experience has proved of value not only as a member of this Committee but also as our repre- sentative on the Building Committee, a position for which he is well qualified.
Perhaps the most important step forward has been in the school building program. The need for adequate and proper housing facilities has been one of the urgent and immediate needs of the Town. The be- ginning made two years ago, and carried forward last year, bore fruit during this year with the approval by the Town at the Annual Town Meeting of a Building Committee constituted according to the proposal of your School Committee. This Building Committee was to consist of the following members: one each from the Board of Selectmen, the Fi- nance Committee, the Planning Board, and the School Committee; and two members at large, one from each precinct. The respective persons chosen to this membership were: Mr. Stanley W. Heath, Mr. James D. McNamara, Mr. John Gibbons, Mr. John S. Caldwell, Mr. Nelson B. Todd, and Mr. Aime DeLangle. The Superintendent of Schools, Mr. John D. Whittier, sits with the Building Committee in an advisory ca- pacity. Dr. Jesse B. Davis has been chosen as School Consultant. It was the original intent that this Committee should deal only with the construction of the proposed new South School, but as investigation and research revealed the serious situation at the Centre School, it was ap- proved by the Town, at a Special Town Meeting that this same Com- mittee should carry on as a part of its undertaking the construction of an addition to the Centre School. These two projects are simultaneous undertakings, and it is the sincere wish of the School Committee that both buildings will be under construction in 1947. The preliminary re- port of this Committee which was presented for the Town Meeting of October 11 was one of the best reports ever to be presented to
53
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
the townspeople. The Committee is to be congratulated for its excellent spirit and its untiring effort in attempting to alleviate a situation which has reached serious proportions so far as the previous-mentioned school housing facilities are concerned. We sincerely hope that the citizens of the Town will back this Committee to the utmost in whatever is asked as a remedy for this condition.
We are grateful to our Superintendent of Schools, Mr. John D. Whittier, for his efficiency in the administration of our schools, and for his loyalty to the Town. His work with us, especially this year, has re- quired more than the share of his time rightfully belonging to us as a member of the Superintendency Union. His report is a part of this re- port and the details of administration, finance, and program are there- in contained. A few items of special interest are called to your attention.
ENROLLMENT
A careful perusal of the enrollment data immediately indicates the source of much of our housing problem. Simply stated, we have out- grown ourselves, and the remedy lies in immediate action since these enrollment figures are sure to spiral upwards in the next few years. The Building Program is the only answer, and despite the dilemma of higher construction costs and increased wages, action is imperative in order that we not find ourselves in the embarrassing position of having a school population without schools in which to house them.
FINANCE
For the first time in recent years your Committee was unable to remain within the proposed budget. Several factors contributed to this situation, the principal among them being the increased instructional and transportation cost due to the adoption of the two-platoon system at the Centre School,-a situation arising out of insufficient housing fa- cilities. Despite this, and other increases in operational costs, the amount by which the budget was exceeded amounted to but 1/2 of 1% of the amount requested. In preparing the budget for the coming year all anticipated increases resulting from increased enrollments have been taken care of.
HOT LUNCH PROGRAM
The Hot Lunch Program continued on a paying basis with the gov- ernment subsidized Hot Lunch and Milk programs still in effect. Credit for a thoroughly successful year goes entirely to Mrs. Ethel Tyacke and her corps of very capable and efficient workers, both at the Centre and the South Schools.
54
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION
The Centre and the South Schools are both in good repair. The South School, of course, leaves much to be desired as a school plant, but its physical condition is sufficiently good to be commensurate with its imminent discontinuance in the very near future. The Centre School is in fine condition so far as the interior is concerned, and when construc- tion on the new wing is completed it is hoped that the then center wooden section may be put in complete repair and repainted.
TEACHING STAFF
The teaching staff of our school system has undergone several changes during the year. Our teachers, however, are well qualified for their respective positions and it is the hope of the Committee to work toward as permanent a staff as can be hoped for in a Town the size of Lynnfield.
To this end we have recommended a salary increase of $400.00 to each permanent teacher beginning January 1, 1947. We feel this is but commensurate with the national trend in teachers salaries and hope it will prove to be a step in the stabilization of our teaching staff. We sincerely hope that the Townspeople will support this program when the question comes before them at the Annual Town Meeting.
