It would greatly add to the appearance and convenience of the Station to have a door framed into the coal bunker large enough to allow trucks to back in and dump, thus saving expense and time on trimming coal. A load- ing machine would also add greatly as a time saver for trimming purposes, and could work in conjunction with the Highway Dept. on loading their trucks with sand and gravel. A new concrete walk is needed from the Station to the store house and gutters on the Pumping Station should be repaired next year.
General Maintenance and Construction
The water mains were extended on Bancroft Ave., from Weston Road, northerly 244 feet, and on Fairview Ave., southwesterly 132 feet to take care of water applications received at the office. Six new hydrants have been set at the following locations: Grove St., south of Spruce Road; Ash St., 200 feet south of Boston & Maine R.R .; Shackford Road, corner of Ash ; Union St., west corner at the junction of Middle; Locust St., 200 feet west of Beacon ; and Bancroft Ave, corner Weston Road. There have been also six replacements at the following places: Highland St., north of the entrance of Laurel Hill Cemetery and at the southwest junction of Highland and Locust Sts .; Mill St., opposite the Pumping Station ; Elliott St., junction of Green; and on Haverhill, between Franklin and Charles. The other hydrants have been inspected and repaired during the year. On account of the age of many of the meters a large number were taken out, cleaned, repaired, and replaced. The same holds true as to the house services where the pipe goes through the foundation wall, and it was found necessary to replace some sixty services at this point. Fifty-seven new services have been constructed during the past year which shows an increase over 1922. The lenear feet of service ex- tensions during the year amounts to 3348.60 feet.
The blow-off line running from Bancroft Ave. main extension is now laid so that this coming year the Stand Pipe can be cleaned inside.
The number of new meters which the Department will need in 1924, will depend on building operations. Approximately $1,000.00 ought to cover the meters needed as dwellings are ready for them.
67
The Department is in need of a new meter testing bench. The present one has been in use for 25 years, and the efficiency of a new machine would greatly cut down the labor, which has become quite an item in this work. A six-inch main should be laid in Forest Street between North Main and Pearl Sts., and in Park St., off Auburn to substitute the present 11/4 inch main, the latter being too small to feed the twelve houses which it now serves. At the end of this extension a hydrant should be set for fire protection.
The main on Elliott St. should be extended from Green to Washing- ton, and a hydrant set at the junction of Washington St. At the present time 10 houses are now fed by a 11/4 inch main on Dudley from Deering to School, and School from Dudley to Middlesex Ave. Further applications for the use of this present main will require a six-inch main extension.

Principal Work Performed
Construction and Maintenance.
On account of the applications received, and the necessity of reliev- ing the poor sanitary conditions of overflowing cesspools, the main sewer on Howard Street was extended for six hundred feet, from Sigsbee Avenue to West Street.
Work started on October 17th. Much time was lost because of light rains, which while not heavy enough to damage the ditch, caused delay in construction. The extent of the work comprised the main sewer, under- drain, two manholes and six-inch pipe, laid in gravel so that there is a four-inch clearance at the bells between it and the main sewer, with two pails of No. 2 crushed stone around each joint, insuring a good open drain.
The main, itself, six hundred feet long, is laid at a six-tenths per- cent grade; each joint carefully packed with jute and made with G. K. compound. The manholes are constructed of white pressed cement brick at stations 300 to 600 respectively. While the street was officially closed, passage through was kept open for the abutters and their respective drive- ways.
Of the seven houses fronting on the extension, six were connected; of which three connections were laid with crushed stone covering the pipe. The Highway Department steam roller was used to roll the surface of the road after backfilling was done, leaving the street in good condition, considering the main ditch and the six house connections that were put in. The work was completed November 16, 1923.
The following is a list of materials used :
Main Sewer:
600 feet, 6" vitrified pipe for underdrain
300 feet, 8" vitrified pipe for main sewer
300 feet, 6" vitrified pipe for main sewer
9, 8" x 5" Y
6, 6" x 5" Y
15, 5" stoppers
2 Cast Iron manhole frames and covers
10 Cast Iron manhole steps
6 tons No. 2 crushed stone for underdrain
830 lbs. of G. K. compound
79 feet, 8-strand jute
70
Mr. John Williams, the contractor, purchased 3000 cement bricks, and 17 bags of cement for manholes, and 55 gallons of kerosene for burner.
House Connections :
300 feet, 5" vitrified pipe
35 feet, 4" cast iron pipe
8, 1/8 bends, 5"
1, 5 x 5" T
10 tons of No. 2 crushed stone
250 lbs. G. K. compound
42 feet of 8-strand jute
A general inspection at all junction points of the main sewers and main lines has been made. The repairing of leaks in that portion of the system which is under ground water level, has made the leakage substan- tially less than it was last year. It is noticeable that a general accumula- tion of sewerage disposal is building up along the lines where only a few houses are connected. This lack of connections is the cause of this de- posit, which with greater use would automatically flush and keep clear the sewer lines. This is not, however, a serious condition, but attention will have to be paid to this next year, in that the Department will have to undertake a systematic process of cleaning and flushing. All underdrains appear to be functioning in good order. Approximately twelve new covers will have to replace broken ones now in the manhole frames. The general pounding of truck traffic is the cause of this breakage.
The Superintendent would recommend that any further extensions of mains be made only on streets where a substantial percentage of the prop- erty owners apply for connections.
House Connections.
Forty-three house connections have been made during the year with the total length of 2334.70 feet. The number of houses which are now connected with the sewerage system is equivalent to about 35% of the total number of connections available from the present sewer. This is an increase of 9% over last year. Forty-six other connections have been constructed and may at any time be connected as soon as the property owners so desire, and one hundred and seven have been run to either the curb or the side line of the street, by the Town previous to the resurfac- ing of the highways. There still remains one hundred and eighty-three connections possible for which no applications have been made by the owners of the property. At the present time three streets only are a hundred percent sewered, where it is possible for connections to be made, viz .- Fulton St., Gould St., and Perkins Ave. The Superintendent esti- mates that the amount of revenue lost to the Town by having 65% not connected is approximately $5,277.90 annually.
The table following will serve to illustrate the amount of work that has been accomplished to date on various streets where a main sewer has been constructed.

MEMORIAL PARK
This last year, Memorial Park has been of more use to the public than ever before. From January 1, 1923, to the time when the summer instruction began, nothing was done worthy of note except the necessary repairs, of which the rebuilding of the north foundation wall of the Community House, the construction of a substantial bridge over the out- let of the dam, and the cleaning of ditches so as to get rid of the water which lies in the spongy turf until late in the summer, etc., were the most important. After the above work had been attended to, the general care of the grounds was taken up. That portion used by the children during the summer months for their games was constanly kept mowed, raked, and picked up, and also the approaches to the Park on Main and Salem Streets.
The day in which the Park was most used was on July Fourth. The complement of soldiers who participated in the Fourth of July celebra- tion, were rationed there, and in the evening a large bonfire and fire- works were set off. On account of the general amount of rubbish which collects at such a time, the Highway Dept. assisted materially in cleaning up and putting the Park in proper order again.
In August the meadows were cut and burned over. The gate in the dam was closed early in the fall and at this writing, a large area is flooded which in the near future ought to provide a fine opportunity for skating during the real cold weather.
The activities at Memorial Park were again under the supervision and direction of the Reading Woman's Club. In no better way can this be handled, and the Board of Public Works wishes to thank that Club for its untiring efforts in making the season a success.
LEACH, COMMON AND MAIN ST. PARKS
Leach Park, this past year was ploughed, harrowed, and fertilized, and although the turf has hardly started, it is hoped that next year, will see the Park in a much better condition than it has been in the past years. This work was greatly retarded by lack of the necessary rainfall, and con- sidering conditions the outcome is favorable.
It may be said that the Common and Main St. Parks were kept con- stantly mown and raked up during the year. The Band Stand on the Common was painted and repaired, and a new wooden topmast flag pole, fitted with cross trees and other necessary fittings, was erected to take the place of the one which blew over last year.
Recommendations :
Although large amounts could be spent to advantage in the Park De- partment, making the same more attractive in appearance and in general use, the heavy demands necessary for more important work in the other Departments makes one realize the imperativenesss of asking for the mere necessities for the maintenance and present development of our Parks. With this in view the Superintendent recommends the following:
74
The Community House at Memorial Park be re-shingled; that $600.00 be appropriated for trained supervisors during the summer months, and that $1,400.00 be appropriated for the general care of Memorial, Leach, and Main St. Parks, together with the Common in Reading Square.
The following is a report of the Reading Woman's Club of Playground Activities.
Report of Playground Committee
The fifth season of summer playground work opened July 4th under the direction of the Reading Woman's Club.
Miss Pauline W. Chellis of Newtonville, a graduate of the Boston School of Physical Education, was engaged as Supervisor with Miss Dor- othy Allard of Reading as assistant, and Mr. Chester Putnam as evening director. At the close of the first week the necessity of another assist- ant was evident and Miss Helen Marson of Medford was engaged.
That the work of the playground has increased is shown by the daily attendance averaging one hundred and fifty children daily over ninety last year.
The Playground opened officially on the afternoon of July 4th with an entertainment provided by the Town's Celebration Committee. Ice cream and punch were served and five hundred red balloons were given to the children as they entered the playground. As the little folks marched across the green with their gay balloons floating in the air a wonderful colored picture was made which will long linger in the memory of the thousand or more visitors who witnessed it.
› The annual Mothers' Day was again a feature and a large gathering assembled. Mrs. Philip Tirrell, President of the Woman's Club spoke on the necessity of the playground to the community and Miss Joy Higgins of the Boston Community Service gave an inspiring talk on adult recrea- tion. A Lawn Party, Children's Circus, and Surprise Supper were suc- cessful features of the summer activities. The outstanding event was the surprise supper provided by the Woman's Club and planned and served by the women of the community. Two hundred and fifty children en- joyed to the full this first open-air supper.
Miss Eva Webb of Pearl Street, Reading, Instructor in Basketry, con- ducted classes twice a week during the season. The enthusiasm for basketry made these classes so popular it is hoped that both adult and children's classes may be held next year.
Folk Dancing classes were held three afternoons a week on the green at the Charles Street end of the Park. The piano has been kept under one of the apple trees all summer in a box constructed for that purpose. Community singing has been a new feature at the playground this season and all the children on the grounds have enthusiastically joined the groups each time the piano was opened for that purpose.
75
The Home Economics Committee of the Woman's Club under the able chairmanship of Mrs. J. Clarence Oxley has conducted a sewing class dur- ing the entire season. This class proved so successful that the committee plans to extend the work another year.
Miss Julia Spinney and Mrs. Samuel Rounds kept the playground supplied with interesting story tellers.
Mrs. Arthur A. Libby was in charge of the equipment and present plans for a community made "Giant Stride" and permanent horizontal bars. Owing to a shortage of funds the committee was unable to carry out these plans this summer.
An interesting record of the guests and visitors at the Playground is kept by means of the Playground Register, a book presented to the Play- ground for that purpose. The names of eminent statesmen from Massa- chusetts are already inscribed in the register as well as the names of visitors from Maine to California.
On August 29th the playground closed with the Children's Circus. This event was planned and carried through by the children and super- visor and witnessed by fully five hundred highly entertained and amused spectators. On this day six Memorial Park monograms were given to deserving children to be worn on sweaters as a symbol of good sportsman- ship at the Park. It is planned to make these monograms a yearly feature of rewards.
The Playground and Recreation Association of America appealed to Reading Playground for statistics concerning the work here. This re- quest was complied with and in the March issue of the magazine "The Playground" our report appears among those of forty-one Massachusetts towns and cities having municipal playgrounds. Reading is one of seven towns having a population of seven thousand and maintaining a play- ground.
The purpose in training children and young people in the right use of leisure is not merely to fill up idla hours but to create an active, ener- getic, happy citizenship. This the Playground Committee is striving to do for the children of Reading.
MARY F. DANIEL, Chairman of Playground Committee.
