REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES


Reading, Mass., Dec. 31, 1922.


To the Board of Selectmen,


Town of Reading, Mass.


Gentlemen :- I herewith present my annual report for the year 1922. All scales, weights and measures used in trade in the Town of Read- ing have been sealed for the year 1922.


The amount of labor required to complete this work has been great- er than in any former years, owing to the increase in the number of scales and gasolene pumps. This is especially true of the latter, as it is not only necessary to test and seal the same, but they must be watched constantly in order that they may be kept within the require- ments of the law.


I have visited all of the stores, at different times and have weighed many of the commodities as they are put up for sale to the public and in the majority of cases have found them to be correct weight. Sev- eral pieces of ice were re-weighed this summer and in most cases the weight was found to be satisfactory.


Tabulations of the entire year's work of this department you will find herewith.


Respectfully submitted,


CARL M. SMITH.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK


Reading, Mass., Dec. 31, 1922


To the Board of Health,


Town of Reading, Mass.


Gentlemen :- I herewith present for your consideration my report for the year 1922.


The Inspection of the Milk Supply for the Town of Reading for the year 1922 has not differed in many respects from those conducted in the past few years.


It has consisted of the collecting of samples of milk from the deal- ers and in the analysis of the same for the butter fats and total solid contents, also in the inspection of the premises and conditions under which the milk was produced.


The results of these analyses were in the majority of cases statis- factory as far as the standard of the milk was concerned, but had ab- solutely no influence upon the quality of the milk from the stand-point of cleanliness. To my mind the latter is the most important phase of the whole milk situation, but can be accomplished only through the means of a test for the bacteria contents.


Sixty-two samples of milk and nine samples of cream were analyzed this year. Four samples of milk and one sample of cream were found to be below the legal standard.


Thirty-four dealers and stores were licensed to sell milk and twelve stores were licensed to sell oleomargarine.


The total receipts of the departments were twenty-three dollars ($23.00).


Respectfully submitted,


CARL M. SMITH.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen: I respectfully submit, herewith, my annual report as Inspector of wires for the year ending December 31, 1922.


Interior Wiring for Light, Heat, and Power


Number of new buildings wired 44


Number of old buildings wired 58


Number of buildings re-wired or in which additional wiring has been installed 70


Number of inspection notices received 165


Number of inspections made


215


The new buildings wired were 35 dwellings, 5 garages, 1 store, 1


bowling alley, 1 greenhouse, and 1 filling station


Number of lamp sockets and receptacles connected to new wiring 2096


Number of ranges 10


Number of motors 18


Number of heaters 9


H. P. of motors 71


The installation and use of Radio Apparatus has increased material- ly during the year.


Proper precaution should be taken to avoid any fire risk in connec- tion with its installation. The leading in wire should be properly pro- tected by an approved type of lightning arrester, which should be se- curely connected to a permanent ground.


It is also advisable to have an endorsement on the Fire Insurance Policy permitting the use of Radio Apparatus in the premises.


The Inspector will be glad to inspect any installations upon request.


Overhead Wires in the Public Streets


The slack wires and defective poles resulting from the sleet storm a year ago have practically all been taken care of with a few minor ex- ceptions.


The poles and wires of the Street Railway Company which have been abandoned and which now serve no useful purpose should be removed as soon as possible, as in some instances they are a menace to the safety of the public.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR G. SIAS, Inspector of Wires


Reading, Mass., Dec. 31, 1922.

HELEN A. BROWN, Visitor.


112


REPORT OF BUILDING INSPECTOR


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-


Gentlemen :- I herewith submit the following report for the year ending December 31st, 1922.


The approximate cost of new buildings amounts to $197,000.00. This consists of residences and private garages.


There has been a block of stores erected on Haven Street this past year at a cost of approximately $12,000.00.


The approximate cost of alteration and addition work, amounts to $47,000.00.


Building operations for the past two months have fallen off consid- erable, due to the fact, I think, of advance in prices of materials.


I take this opportunity at this time to advise that, before another year passes, the smoke partitions be erected at the High School Building as recommended by our State Inspector.


He and myself made an inspection a few months ago, and as he said, it certainly should be done. I would like to have the opportunity in the near future, to go into this matter, in a thorough manner with you.


Regarding Our Building Laws:


It says no building shall be built at a less distance than 10 feet to the side line of lot. In my opinion this should apply also to the rear line of lot. In fact I intend to insist on this, as long as I remain Building Inspector. I might add, that I think it would be advisable this coming year to appoint a committee to revise the Building Laws, as in my opinion they certainly need attention.


I have taken the liberty to have some new application blanks printed, as the ones I had are depleted. I have also taken the liberty of adopt- ing a new form of permit. This is in the form of a card, about 11x14 inches which must be tacked up on the building in question, where it can be readily seen when passing by; either by the police or myself, and if any alteration or new work is under way, and no card appears on same, the matter should be reported at once, as it is very evident that no permit has been granted. I suggest this as I feel it is one of the ways to check up some of the contractors who apparently delight in evading, doing what they should do, and then boasting about it.


It is impossible for the Building Inspector to anticipate what some of them contemplate doing.


In my opinion it would be much better for all concerned, if they would co-operate with him, and report what work they have, by applying for a permit. Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE H. SIDEBOTTOM.

REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD


January 1, 1923.


The Planning Board respectfully submits to the Town its Annual Report covering the year 1922.


During the year local matters affecting the welfare of the Town were taken up with the various other Town Boards.


The subject of a Town Forest was considered at several meetings.


The subject of a state traffic road through Reading and adjacent cities and towns, to be built and maintained by the Commonwealth, which would divert traffic and trucking from Reading Square and the main streets, was considered throughout the year; cities and towns ad- jacent to Reading were considering the matter of trucking and traffic as it affected their public squares and main streets, and several joint meetings of this board and the Planning Board of Wakefield were held, and the subject discussed, as well as taken up though correspondence with other cities and towns. A hearing before the Board of Public Utili- ties of the Commonwealth was attended by members of the Board, who presented to the Board of Public Utilities the viewponit of the matter as it affected the Town. This subject is considered of great moment to the Town, and the matter has been thoroughly and deeply considered.


During the year the matter of establishing a building line in Reading Square was discussed, and taken up with other Town Boards.


Respectfully submitted,


CHESTER J. WALLACE, Chairman H. Q. MILLETT JOHN L. DODGE LEONE F. QUIMBY AMOS M. McLEAN, Secretary
