The year began with Mr. James P. Carleton, Chairman, and Mr. Chester J. Wallace, Secretary.


At the annual town meeting, March 11, 1918, it was voted The Planning Board be instructed to investigate the present cost of the upkeep of automobiles owned by the town and bring in a report on the same at some future town meeting.


In accordance with the above vote The Planning Board found that the town owns six automobiles at present. We obtained from the departments of the town operating auto- mobiles, statements of the cost of keeping the machines divided into items such as housing, repairs, gasoline, oil, tires, and insurance. The first two items were far the largest. The cost of housing all six automobiles amounted to $56 per month, or $672 per year. The cost of repairs for the year 1917 was reported for three cars in one department as $1470, and one car in another department as $40 for six months. While the cost of repairs on all six cars owned by the town may not always be in proportion to the above fig- ures it is plain to see that the time is not far distant when the repairs will require the full services of one man.


The Board visited some buildings now standing that might be remodeled for a garage, also visited two plots of land owned by the Town, one at the Electric Light Station, and the other on Pleasant Street in rear of fire station. The last mentioned site would be a very favorable location for a municipal garage as the basement could be used for storage by the various departments of the town. In a special


85


report of these investigations which was favorably received at the October town meeting we stated that while it was beyond the province of this Board to decide whether or not the town wished to build a municipal garage at the present time we should have no hesitation under normal conditions in recommending that the town build a garage on the Pleas- ant Street lot.


In November the resignation of our Chairman, Mr. James P. Carleton, was accepted with regret in order to enable him to become a member of the Finance Committee. The Planning Board was reorganized with Mr. Chester J. Wallace, Chairman, and Mr. Raymond B. Temple, Secre- tary.


During the year various other problems have been dis- cussed by the Board, such as the removal of unsightly bill boards and the improvement of Reading Square to avoid congestion of traffic and the awkward one-way street. Even broader schemes for the development of our main street have been suggested but without money we can accomplish nothing of real value in that direction. When the town fur- nishes The Planning Board with the necessary funds to pro- vide proper maps and surveys we propose to make a detailed study of the question. We hope then to bring forth a plan of development that will be a credit to our town in years to. come.


Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS


READING MASS., January 13, 1919.


TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN OF READING :


GENTLEMEN-I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1918, giving the record of alarms received during the past year as well as such other information that may be of interest to the town.


The Department consists of one permanent Chief, one permanent Assistant Chief, three permanent men and twen- ty-five call men. The apparatus consists of one triple com- bination, which has been in service five years and two months and still continues to give the most efficient service ; one combination ladder truck and one combination hose truck, which have been in service two years and four months. The machines have required a few minor repairs during the past year but are now in the best of condition. Hose Company No. 2, Woburn Street, gives as good service as can be expected under the present conditions. The tires on the triple combination are worn out and must be re- placed this year. I would recommend that this machine be painted this year as the present paint is in poor condition. My financial transactions are all embodied in the report of the Town Accountant, to which I refer you for any informa- tion in this line.


Mr. Leonard T. Eames was reappointed Superintendent of the Fire Alarms. I would recommend a fire alarm box to be located at or near the corner of Main and Cross Streets, because an alarm from Box 18 or Box 15 for a fire in this neighborhood would be very misleading.


During the past year four hundred and thirty-two (432) permits for fires in the open have been issued. Under the


88


Fire Prevention Laws the people of this Town must have a permit before they build a fire in the open, and I wish at this time to compliment the people for the very careful way that this matter has been handled.


On October 14th, 1918, William W. Atkinson, Jr., died. He was appointed permanent fireman March 1, 1917. Mr. Atkinson was a favorite among his associates and faithful to his duties, with respect for his superior officers.

I wish also to express my thanks to the Bay State Street Railway Com- pany for the use of current, and the employees of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company for the prompt and efficient service rendered in receiving alarms by tele- phone.


Respectfully yours, O. O. ORDWAY, Chief.

REPORT OF CEMETERY TRUSTEES


TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN AND CITIZENS OF READING :


The Trustees of the Cemetery submit the following report :


Owing to the increased death rate the last two years the demand for lots has been so large that we were obliged to make provisions for more lots, and it was decided to grade down the three knolls in the northern part of the Cemetery for that purpose. Two have already been finished and the third one will be as soon as possible the coming season. The first furnished fifteen good lots, all of which have been sold, which shows how great was the need of this preparation. It will only be a short time before some pro- vision will have to be made for a new Cemetery.


Our Cemetery is a beautiful place and every citizen should take pride in it and here, again, let me urge every lot owner to put it in perpetual care.


The Town Accountant's report contains our Financial Report. For the general care of the Cemetery sixteen hun- dred and fifty dollars ($1650) is recommended for the coming season.


Very respectfully, A. W. DANFORTH, Superintendent,


for the Trustees. Reading, Mass., Jan. 13, 1919.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR


TO THE CITIZENS OF READING :


We herewith submit our report for the year ending December 31, 1918.


L. A. Deming was reappointed Superintendent of the Town Home. He has been Superintendent for the past seven years and is a capable man for the position. Under his management the home has been conducted in a satisfac- tory and economical manner. The State Inspector of Alms- houses complimented our Town and its Overseers and agents on the conditions which he found at the Home. He wrote that he considered the Reading Town Home up to the stand- ard of town homes of the size in the state. The inmates well cared for, well fed and comfortably housed. In the matter of general conditions at the Reading Town Home, he said that the institution is in every sense a home and it is maintained as a most fitting place to care for the Town's aged and infirm.


There are five inmates at the Home, and the average number during the year has been five. One inmate admitted during the year left the Home and there has been one death.


The cost of running the Home has been kept within the appropriation and there is a balance in the account of $135.70. The appropriation this year was $200 more than in 1917, yet there has been a large increase in the cost of fuel and supplies during the year. The receipts of the Home have been $629.92, which is $276.92 more than in 1917, and the amount of personal property is the same as last year. The receipts for the past two years have been credited to the general revenue account of the Town, but should be taken in consideration in estimating the actual cost of run- ning the Home.


102


The Superintendent has done considerable papering and painting, so that the Home and buildings are in very good condition, except that the barn will need to be shing- led in a short time. New screens have been made by the Superintendent for all the windows in the Home during the year.


PERSONAL PROPERTY AT THE TOWN HOME DECEMBER 31, 1918

Hay, grain and feed 420 00


Wagons, carts and sleds 235 00


Farming tools. implements, etc. 353 00

Aid rendered to the outside poor has been kept within the appropriation made for that department. This could hardly have been expected with the extremely high price of commodities during the year. It is the duty of our board to determine if possible the settlement of persons seeking aid. In the cases of persons having no settlement in Read- ing, it devolves upon our board to notify place of settle- ment, or, if there is no settlement, to notify the State Board of Charity. Oftentimes it is difficult to obtain information that will prove the settlement. Also expert settlement clerks of cities notify us of many cases which they claim have a settlement in Reading and it devolves upon our board to seek information concerning the cases to ascertain if the facts given us in the settlement history are correct.


The number of recipients of Aid under Chapter 763 of the Acts of 1913, or so called "Mothers' Aid," have increased in the past year and we have exceeded the appropriation


103


$142.11. In most cases this statute works out satisfactory, inasmuch as it saves the families from being broken up, and a worthy mother is able to retain her right and claim to her children.


For the financial statement of this department we would respectfully refer to the report of the Town Accountant.


EDGAR O. DEWEY J. EDWARD FROST EDWIN L. HUTCHINSON Overseers of the Poor.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS


READING, MASS., JAN. 17th, 1919.


TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :


GENTLEMEN-I herewith submit to you the annual report of the Inspector of Buildings for the year ending December 31, 1918.


Number of permits issued for the erection of new


buildings . 11


Estimated value of same $22,000


Number of permits issued for the alteration of existing buildings . 4


Estimated value of same $20.000


Total number of permits issued 15


Total value


$42,000


Of the number of permits issued for new construction, five were for residences, and six for garages.


A comparison of these figures with those of a year ago shows a decided decrease, due to the advance of all kinds of material and labor which, of course, was brought on by war conditions.


I was obliged to refuse permits to several who contem- plated erecting buildings which would exceed twenty-five hundred ($2,500) dollars on account of the ruling made by the Board of Non-War Construction.


I inspected buildings, as requested by the State Inspec- tor, and found that they complied with State requirements.


Respectfully yours,


GEORGE H. SIDEBOTTOM,


Inspector of Buildings.

105


REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS


TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :


I wish at this time to submit my report as Inspector of Animals for the Town.


At the last general inspection which was ordered in Jan., 1917, to be completed before March 15, upwards of thirty stables were inspected and passed upon. There were at the time 349 cattle inspected. Those showing evidence of contagious or communicable disease were quarantined and properly dealt with.


Most premises were found to be in a satisfactory condi- tion. Very few suggestions for betterment were made.


In the early spring some one started something and suggested that everybody keep a pig, which suggestion cer- tainly took root, for at the close of the season there were upwards of 250. hogs in Town. The Board of Health waved restrictions on the keeping of pigs and with very few excep- tions complaints were unknown. I hope this good work may be continued and that people will realize they have neigh- bors who do not or cannot tolerate the smell of pigs. It is to be hoped that where trouble was caused by the keeping of pigs too close to adjacent dwellings that some different arrangement may be made and the difficulty overcome.


Trusting that 1919 will see renewed efforts along the line of agriculture and its products.


I remain yours,


O. H. PLAYDON, M. D. V. Inspector of Animals.
