REPORT OF SELECTMEN
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Reading :
Your Board of Selectmen herewith submit the following report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1906 :
DEPARTMENT OF STREETS
Considerable attention has been given to the sidewalks this year. For several years little grading has been done on them ex- cept in cases of special appropriation and it became imperative that for one year, at least, more attention be given to this part of the work.
We have also done a considerable amount of gravel road building and have put in good condition many streets that have for some time needed attention but which the policy of concentrated effort with a small appropriation would not allow.
The road machine has been used for cleaning up the sides of the road and for rounding up the streets before rolling them.
ORANGE STREET DRAIN
Acting under instructions received we have laid a drain to take care of the water on Orange street between Pierce and Spring streets. This was laid in a northerly direction and a right of way obtained across land of Mr. McKillop.
WEST STREET DRAIN
For several years the water during the wet season has caused considerable annoyance to the residents on the east side of West street south of Woburn street. At the annual meeting of 1905 your Board requested that no action be taken on the matter as it was thought that the B. & N. Street Railway should bear part of the expense.
The drain has been laid and a right of way was obtained through land of Mr. Livermore. One-half of the expense of laying the drain has been paid by the B. & N. Street Railway.
52
KINGSTON STREET
Last year a petition was received asikng that the private way known as Kingston street be laid out as a public town way. This petition was not acted upon and this year the request was renewed and we have taken the matter up and after holding the proper hear- ings and considering the matter carefully we recommend that this street be laid out.
HIGH STREET
There will be a recommendation made by this Board that the street lines on a part of High street be established. In the war- rant of 1906 there was an article calling for a sidewalk from a point near the residence of Melvin R. Batchelder to a point near the residence of John H. Robinson. This was referred to this Board. Upon taking up the matter we found that the street lines of High. street had never been established on this portion of the street and shall recommend that this be done before we proceed with sidewalk.
WATER-GREEN STREET
In the last annual meeting it was voted to lay a drain in a southerly direction for the purpose of taking care of the water on the southerly side of Green street on land of Samuel Brown and others provided that a right of way could be obtained.
We were unable to obtain a right of way through the property, and further, it was conceded by all concerned that the drain should not be laid in a southerly direction. We therefore refused to act being unable to carry out the provisions of the vote.
A petition was presented to the Board of Health by Samuel Brown and others requesting that steps be taken to relieve them of the nuisance which it was claimed the condition produced. The petition was dismissed by the Board of Health on the ground of "no jurisdiction." An appeal was made by the petitioners to the County Commissioners, who after giving a hearing on the matter to parties interested, decided that the water should be taken care of in a northerly direction in accordance with line and grades which they will furnish and that the expense shall be borne by the Town.
53
BOSTON & NORTHERN STREET RAILWAY
Complying with a request from this Board that Lowell street be put in better condition the Boston & Northern Street Railway laid a heavy girded rail from Linden street to the Square and paved with blocks between the rails and eighteen inches outside the rails. They also replaced the rail on the upper part of Haven street with a heavy girder rail. This does away with constantly digging up the street to repair bonds in track, and it has shown that a T rail and block paving is not a successful combination.
B. & M. STATION.
Agreeably to instructions received at the last annual meeting in regard to a grass and shrubbery plot near the R. R. station we met by appointment the Division Superintendent and the Roadmas- ter of the Western Division, at the station, and it was decided that a plot should be curbed from Washington street along High street to a point near the station and this be grassed over and be bordered with shrubbery. This was promised for the fall but undoubtedly other work prevented it being carried out. The work will probably be completed in the early part of next season.
MOTH WORK
The work of suppressing the gypsy and brown tail moths has been continued through the year.
During the early part of this year much work was done in the cutting off of the nests of the brown tail moth and painting the gypsy moth egg clusters with creosote. The street trees were well taken care of and some private work was done.
A Niagara spraying machine was bought and with it consid- erable spraying has been done. Spraying, if done at the proper time, proves to be a very efficient method of destroying moths.
The street trees were burlapped and the burlap turned in a systematic manner and in this way many gypsy moths were destroyed.
During the fall the egg clusters of the gypsy moth were painted to the five foot line in order that snow should not interfere
54
with the work during the winter and also to prevent the eggs from being brushed off and scattered.
The work since winter began has consisted of painting gypsy moth eggs with creosote, cutting off brown tail nests, and trimming out the roadsides.
The street trees at the present time are well cared for but there are large wooded areas in the west and south parts of the town that are badly infested, and unless considerable money is available we are sure to have much stripping next year.
We earnestly request the co-operation of the citizens in the work of suppressing the moths.
PLAYGROUND
In accordance with instructions received at the last annual meeting we secured the same Playground for another year. The conditions of the lease are the same as those of previous years.
We gave the Base Ball Association permission to erect seats on either side of the field in order that people who wished to see the game might be better accommodated.
