REPORT OF SELECTMEN
TO THE CITIZENS OF READING :
We submit herewith our report for the year ended December 31, 1913.
HIGHWAYS
Edward H. Crowe was reappointed Superintendent of Streets and his work has been satisfactory to the board. Because of the open winter there has been more done than for some years past.
The Superintendent has built Dudley street, from High street to School street, under a special appropriation voted at the annual town meeting. He has also resurfaced West street, from the Wilmington town line to the top of Jones' Hill, and has resurfaced Haverhill street, from the North Reading line to a point about 500 feet south of Franklin street. Both of these jobs were also done under special appropriations.
In conjunction with the State Highway Commission and under its direction the Superintendent has constructed 2100 feet of macadam on Lowell street, from a point opposite the Barrows estate to the foot of High street. This was a very difficult piece of road building, on account of change of grades, widening of road and building retaining wall, but has been brought to completion and is very satisfactory to the State authorities and to this board. The work above enumerated is in addition to the regular repair and mainte- nance that has been done, which has been fully as extensive as in past years.
109
110
Your board has endeavored to carry out a policy for road construction of a more permanent character and the Superintendent, in conformity with that idea, has built more macadam than formerly. The constantly increasing automobile traffic must make it apparent to all our citizens that different and more permanent methods of road con- struetion must be adopted. While more costly at first, your board believes it is more economical in the end.
While we feel that with what money we have had at our disposal for construction and maintenance much has been accomplished, still we realize that many of our streets are in great need of attention.
Good highways tend to build up and develop any com- munity. and your board feels that a large appropriation will be absolutely necessary in the near future to put the prin- cipal streets in the proper condition for a growing town such as Reading. However, until a sewer system has been in- stalled, we believe that it would not be good business judg- ment to recommend such a large appropriation as referred to above, so the money asked for the coming year is to main- tain our streets and resurface some which ought not to be allowed to wait longer.
As soon as a sewer system is installed your board would recommend that a comprehensive plan of permanent road construction be drawn up and bonds be issued extending over a period of years for this purpose.
It seems to us imperative that Prescott street be put in better condition the coming year. This street has become an important thoroughfare in the past few years, being a connecting link between the railroad station and that part of the town commonly known as Scotland. This entire sec- tion is being rapidly built up and should receive the atten- tion it deserves.
Summer avenue for its entire length is in a deplorable condition and should have immediate attention. This is a much traveled street not alone by our townspeople but is
111
much used for through travel from Main street state high- way to the Lowell road. Your board feels that to put this street in proper condition a macadam should be used but for the present on account of the sewer problem we would recommend that it be repaired where most needed with good quality of gravel.
Prospect street and West street should also receive attention the coming year. We recommend that the work on Haverhill street be continued in the spring and ask for a special appropriation for that purpose. Woburn street, from Lowell to High streets, should be taken care of ; also Berkley, Temple and Lincoln streets. Your board would recommend that Washington street, from Ash to Main streets, be macad- amed ; also High street, from the depot to Washington street.
We have asked for a special appropriation of $2000 to continue the work on Lowell street provided the State appro- priates a like amount. This is an important piece of work and the State Highway Commission seems to be equally in- terested in seeing it carried to completion. There are other streets not mentioned specially that can be taken care of without very great expense.
The Board of Selectmen will ask the Town to consider the advisability of purchasing an automobile for the use of the Superintendent of Streets. The supervision of the high- way work has become so extended that it would seem that this would be a measure of economy.
SIDEWALKS
The sidewalks in the centre of the Town should be con- creted, and those concrete sidewalks already built should be repaired.
Your board would recommend an appropriation of $1000 for repairs of concrete sidewalks and $500 for new concrete sidewalks. We would further recommend that an appro- priation of $500 for new concrete sidewalks be made each year, for the next few years, and that the 50 per cent. abutter cost be waived.
112
BRIDGES
The highway bridge over the tracks of the Boston & Maine Railroad, on Lowell street, is very narrow, and it is the opinion of your board that steps to widen the bridge and approaches on each side, and straighten the road at this point, should be taken in the interest of safety. We would recommend that authority be given to petition the Middle- sex County Commissioners to have this done.
DUST LAYING
The matter of laying the dust is a most important one, and it is the opinion of this board that an appropriation of $3000 for oil and $1000 for water and watering be made.
SURFACE DRAINAGE
Owing to the development of residential property, the problem of surface drainage has become one of vital impor- tance. Some new catch basins should be installed at once to relieve conditions in localities most effected at the pres- ent time.
Your board would also recommend that a comprehensive plan for taking care of surface water be considered in con- nection with the laying out of the sewer system.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
William E. Swain was reappointed Chief of Police and Jeremiah Cullinane, Jr., Oscar H. Low and George C. Stock were appointed regular police officers. Your board feels that the service rendered the Town by this department has been efficient. We would recommend that the pay of reg- ular police officers be raised to $3.00 per day, and the Chief to $3.25 per day.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Board of Selectmen appointed Orville O. Ordway, Luke McKenney and Frank E. Gray members of the Board of Fire Engineers.
T
113
In accordance with the vote of the Town the Special Committee, consisting of the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Fire Engineers, together with Lewis M. Bancroft and Mahlon E. Brande. purchased a triple combination motor fire truck and installed the same in the Central Fire Station.
This committee has also, acting under instructions from the Town, reorganized the department. reducing the num- ber of call men to 28 and adding two permanent men. who are on duty at the Central Fire Station night and day.
MOTH DEPARTMENT
Tree Warden Henry M. Donegan was reappointed Local Superintendent of Moth Work. He has attended to his duties to the satisfaction of the State Department having supervision over this work, and the Board of Selectmen feel that his department is efficient.
FINANCIAL TOWN DEBT
There has been an increase of the Town Debt over 1912 of $25,100, as follows :
NET INCREASE
Municipal Light, bonds and notes
$33,200
Auto Chemical Truck 7,500
$40,700

MATURING INDEBTEDNESS, 1914
The Town will be called upon this year to meet matur- ing indebtedness of $32,400, of which the Municipal Light Plant will provide $9,000: the Water Department $3,000; and $475 from the income of the Grouard Estate (toward payment of loan of $1,000 due this year), leaving a balance to be provided for of $19,925. There will be a surplus of revenue of approximately 82,200, which may be applied toward the payment, leaving a balance of $17,725 to be raised by taxation, against $10,125 in 1913-an increase of $7,600.
With this and the probable increase of the State and County Taxes and the Departmental Appropriations, we should. use the utmost care not to increase the tax rate, for in our opinion there would have to be a material increase in the valuation to meet this increase in appropriation.
We respectfully call attention to the Town Accountant's report for the financial statement of the different depart- ments.
In closing, we acknowledge the valued assistance ren- dered this board by Town Accountant John H. Sheldon.

Selectmen of Reading.
REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
We herewith submit our report for the year ended Dec. 31, 1913.
L. Adelbert Deming was reappointed Superintendent of the Town Home, and under his management with the able assistance of Mrs. Deming we feel that the home has been well conducted and the inmates carefully taken care of. There have been six inmates at the home during the past year. On account of the efficient management there has. been a saving in the cost of running the home which can be seen by referring to the financial statement.
A new bath room for the Superintendent's family has been built in the main part of the house, and the one for- merly used by them in the ell has been made over and given to the inmates. The bath room on the ground floor formerly used by the inmates was condemned by the State Inspector and has now been discontinued.
The heating plant has been overhauled and rearranged and it has resulted in more efficiency and a saving in coal. The house has been painted two coats on the outside, and some of the rooms inside have been painted and papered. Two new carpets have been bought.
The assistance asked for outside poor has been about the same as last year.
Under a new law passed this year and effective in Sept. last, the Overseers of the Poor are required to investigate and assist mothers with dependent children under fourteen years of age if found worthy. This imposes an additional
115
116
burden upon the Overseers of the Poor and also calls for an additional and separate appropriation by the Town. On this expenditure the State reimburses us one-third.
We would respectfully call your attention to the finan- cial statement of this department in the Town Accountant's report.
EDWIN L. HUTCHINSON, JAMES W. KILLAM, OTIS B. RUGGLES,
Overseers of the Poor.
TREASURER'S REPORT
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF READING :
In accordance with the votes of the Town at the annual and special town meetings held during the year, I have issued the notes of the Town for $13,500 for new construction for the Municipal Light and Power Plant, bearing interest at 4 1-4%, and maturing $1500 annually 1914 to 1923; $7500 for a new triple-combination auto fire truck, bearing interest at 4 1-2% and maturing $1500 annually 1914 to 1918: $2700 for a school deficiency loan, bearing interest at 5% and matur- ing in 1914.
I have issued registered bonds of the Town to the amount of $23,500 for new equipment for the Municipal Light and Power. Plant, bearing interest at 4 1-4%, and ma- turing $1500 annually 1914 to 1922, and $1000 annually 1923 to 1932.
I have issued notes in anticipation of revenue to the amount of $115,000, of which $60,000 has been been paid and the balance maturing in 1914. Owing to the unsettled con- dition of business affairs during the early part of the year money rates were considerably advanced over previous years, especially for short time notes, the result of which is that the money borrowed in anticipation of revenue has cost about 7-8 of 1% more than for the year 1912.
The average daily balance of temporary loans for the year was $76,342.63, and the average rate of interest 4.53% .
Yours respectfully, WARD O. MANSFIELD,
Treasurer.
