REPORT OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN
TO THE CITIZENS OF READING:
We submit herewith our annual report for the year ending December 31, 1920.
HIGHWAYS
For several years the highway situation has been the most im- portant question confronting the town. The condition of our streets is so well known and has been so generally discussed that any com- ments in this report should be needless. The vexatious problems and obstacles met with in highway maintenance have been called to the attention of the citizens by previous Boards in their reports and in the year 1876 the Road Commissioners stated in their report:
"Owing to the scarcity of good material for roads, especially in the vicinity of the village, the cost of repairs is much more than it otherwise would be."
During the years 1913 and 1914 approximately eight miles of gas mains and a large number of house connections were laid in the principal streets. Since then there have been six hundred eighty- eight (688) permits granted for additional house connections. This work necessarily destroyed the surface of the streets, placing an ad- ditional burden on the highway department.
At about this time a comprehensive plan for rebuilding highways was being considered, but it was finally deemed inadvisable by all concerned to macadamize or make permanent repairs in any of the principal streets on account of the installation of sewers, a matter of vital importance which had been receiving the attention of commit- tees and other interested parties for some time and which would soon be a reality.
Even at this writing and not considering the financial program involved, sewers are still blocking the way for road building.
It should be stated here that the foregoing or any statements following must not be considered as a criticism of the Sewer Commis- sioners. We are calling attention to existing conditions which in no way could have been prevented.
Sewer construction, including both mains and house connections, has been completed in the Square, Haven and Woburn streets only.
The proposed work of macadamizing Prescott and Prospect Streets, Middlesex Avenue and Hill Crest Road, and included in the budgets of 1919 and 1920, was not undertaken as sewer construction is not completed, bearing in mind that house connections in addition
51
to the mains must be laid before permanent construction of streets can be attempted. Even should house connections be laid in 1921 in streets where mains have already been installed, it would be inad- visable to rebuild the road before 1922, as they would not be settled.
This town is confronted with a tremendous problem in placing its highways in keeping with the demands of the day as can readily be seen by the following.
This Board has consulted with the Division of Highways State Department of Public Works relative to rebuilding the Square, whose engineers have taken soundings, cared for details and supervised the making of plans and have furnished estimates for different schemes.
There are approximately in the Square and approaches thereto fourteen thousand two hundred (14,200) square yards. Estimated expense for concrete or bituminous macadam is three dollars and fifty cents ($3.50) per square yard, add three dollars ($3.00) per square yard for drainage, grading, incidental and other improvements and by this sum multiply the total area stated above, equals a total estimated expense of ninety-two thousand three hundred dollars ($92,300). This amount can be reduced by confining the construc- tion to the centre and reducing the work on the approaches. A pro- portion of this expense is properly chargeable to the Street Railway Company.
Should the Town decide to raise and appropriate a stated amount for these improvements, steps will then be taken and every effort made to obtain assistance from both the State and County.
As stated above all sewer construction work in Woburn Street has been completed and therefore this street should be rebuilt at once, dividing the work into three sections, viz .: Lowell St. to railroad crossing; thence to Summer Avenue; and thence to West Street; is- suing plans and specifications, and calling for bids, therefore doing the work by contract. The Superintendent of Streets would then have the road equipment available for maintenance work, which is demanding immediate and constant attention and he could person- ally inspect all work being done by contract. The services of the engineers from the Division of Highways would also be available.
It is a fact that the present town forces under the direction of the Superintendent of Streets, with present equipment, can build road at a much less expense than by contract, but with a large amount of construction work to be accomplished we still believe that large construction projects should be done by contract; as for the Town to undertake this work would necessitate an outlay of several thousands of dollars for additional equipment, which would not be required in service when construction was completed.
With the present force and equipment of the Highway Depart- ment giving its attention to road building, road repairs necessarily
52
suffer and when it is considered there is a total of fifty miles of streets requiring attention, it can readily be seen that the mainten- ance alone of highways is a big problem.
With the exception of the streets surfaced this year, there is not a street in town that does not need surfacing. The necessary work can not be financed out of the tax levy or even by bond issues, with- out raising the tax rate to a staggering height. This Board is of the opinion that the only solution is to imitate the practice of many other communities and to assess a large part or all of the cost upon the abutters, whose property is always increased in sale value by a new street surface in front of it. As a new surface is now needed in front of almost every piece of property in town, this method would be much fairer than the present practice of taxing citizens all over town to build a surface on any single street.
In 1914 there were fifty-two (52) catch basins and at the pres- ent time a total of one hundred seventy (170), fourteen (14) of which were built this year with eight hundred ninety-eight (898) feet of outlet pipe, making the total of outlet pipe sixteen thousand three hundred (16,300) feet now in service.
There are approximately twenty-six thousand (26,000) feet main ditch necessary to be cleaned, six thousand thirty-two (6032) feet of which were cleaned this year at an expense of about forty-five hun- dred dollars ($4500.)
Here it should be stated that provisions for the cleaning of all drainage ditch will be made in the budget for next year as this ex- pense should not be taken from highway maintenance appropriations.
There are sixty-five (65) obsolete stone culverts in various parts of the town which should be rebuilt in accordance with modern meth- ods to meet present requirements.
During the year twenty-four (24) miles of street, averaging eighteen (18) feet in width have been scarified, reshaped and rolled; under maintenance charges.
There have been constructed ninety-six hundred seventy-two (9672) square yards tar macadam on High, Washington and Ash Streets.
For the detail of the work performed by the Highway Depart- ment, the citizens are respectfully referred to the report of the Su- perintendent of Streets.
LOWELL STREET BRIDGE
In 1915 the Board of Selectmen petitioned the County Commis- sioners for the relocation and the rebuilding of the Lowell Street bridge. The Commissioners ordered the Boston and Maine R. R. to rebuild the bridge. The Railroad appealed to the Supreme Court. Since then the case has been awaiting trial, the delay being on the part of the attorney for the County Commissioners.
53
Throughout the year this Board and the Town Counsel have used every possible effort to urge the Commissioners and their attorney to push the case. Beyond that this Board could do nothing except repair the roadway near the bridge. This was done seven times dur- ing the year.
Finally, after several accidents had demonstrated that the bridge could no longer be kept open with safety to the travelling public, this Board on November 16, 1920, closed the bridge. Since then the answer of the County Commissioners has been filed in Court and the demurrer of the Railroad has been heard. The case has thus been advanced further in two months since the bridge was closed than it had been advanced in the preceding five years.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
Patrick J. Long was appointed a regular patrolman adding one additional officer to the force .. This action by the Board being deemed imperative.
This department has been efficiently directed and its members have performed their duties in a manner to gain the confidence and respect of the citizens.
The large number of cases disposed of are given in detail in the report of the Chief of Police.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
This department continued to perform its usual excellent work throughout the year.
Capt. Luke McKenney, after serving the Town faithfully for thirty-two (32) years, handed his resignation to this Board, taking effect December 15th. His action was caused by ill-health.
Frank L. McKenney was appointed to the permanent force, Hugh Eames being promoted to a captaincy and John J. O'Brien appointed lieutenant.
A new policy was initiated in purchasing all coal for the depart- ment in the summer at a substantial financial saving to the Town.
MOTH DEPARTMENT
This department continues to be ably managed by its superin- tendent and to the satisfaction of the State Department having su- pervision over this important work.

At this time the Board is of the opinion it should give the mat- ter of its recommendations further time for consideration and study:
The general financial situation does not warrant expenditures except in cases of absolute necessity and it is deemed advisable to consult with the Finance Committee before going too deeply into im- provements or additions in any department.
The year has been one of unusual activity, the work in this of- fice demanding constant attention. Many questions of importance and a few of grave concern have been brought to the attention of this Board which has tried to do its best in disposing of them in a manner to warrant the approval of the citizens.
CONCLUSION
For advice cheerfully given and the assistance rendered by offi- cials and others in the various departments at the State House this Board is grateful.
The courtesy of officers and members of all Town Departments is acknowledged and the cooperation of the employees is appreciated.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board respectfully submits to the Town its Fifth Annual Report, covering the year ending December 31, 1920.
Acting as a special committee to determine the advisability of erecting a municipal garage, the Planning Board went into the mat- ter of costs and accommodations very exhaustively and finally con- cluded that the cost of erecting a suitable building is prohibitive under the present conditions. The Committee, therefore, recommend- ed to the Town at a special Town Meeting, held May 17, 1920, that no action be taken, which recommendation was adopted by the Town.
