The agricultural work for the year was carried on in the town of Reading chiefly in the form of individual visits to farmers in an effort to help them solve their personal problems. These visits were concerned mainly with poultry and dairying problems.
In home economies two groups of women completed a series of meetings in millinery. Another group carried on a series of meetings on the subject of clothing; and still another group attended a series of meetings on food selection.
In the 4-H club activities 133 boys and girls were enrolled in the clothing, food, poultry, pig, calf, garden and canning clubs. Accomplish- ments were shown by an achievement program in the spring and by ex- hibits at the Reading Grange Fair. Club members also exhibited at the New England Fruit Show, Boston, and at the Boston Poultry Show. Norman Burns, Perry Philbrook and Virginia Harding were awarded the Two-Day Trip to the Massachusetts Agricultural College.
Many of the fruit growers in the town profited by receiving the spray service postal cards which were sent out from time to time during the spray season. Judges were furnished for the Fair, judging agricultural as well as home economics exhibits.
In addition, several county-wide meetings, such as the County Picnic at Concord, the Annual Extension Service meeting at Waltham, meetings for fruit growers and poultrymen and Leaders' Training meetings for homemakers have been held during the year and were attended by many of the Reading people.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
Laurel Hill Cemetery
Trustees of Cemeteries, Reading, Mass. :
Gentlemen :- I herewith present my fifth annual report as Superin- tendent of Laurel Hill Cemetery.
Construction, New Lots and Graves
In the early part of 1925 there were no single graves available for sale in the cemetery. Fortunately, several lot owners were willing to dispose of a part of their lots to those who did not care to buy a family lot. This made it necessary to finish a portion of the North Avenue section before the whole section had been dug over to remove the stones and boulders as was planned.
79
During the month of June we graded and seeded twenty-one graves, seven of which have since been sold.
There has also been enough new land graded and seeded to make twenty-six lots, which will be ready for sale when the corner markers and numbers are set. This will be done early in the spring.
A new avenue four hundred and eighty feet long has been made ready for the surface material with four hundred and fifty feet of water pipe laid to provide water for the new section.
Twelve large maple trees have been set out and are doing well.
Maintenance
The fences in places along the north side of the cemetery are falling to pieces and a fence is needed to enclose the land purchased from the Dexter Clapp estate. I think, however, that they can be patched up to last another season as the avenues are in very poor condition and should be re-surfaced. This work will require all the money that can be spared from the regular maintenance appropriation of 1926.
During the past year 1060 square yards of macadam surface has been added to Oak Avenue, making a continuous stretch of macadam road from the south gate on Main St., past the receiving tomb to the top of Locust Hill. This is a great improvement, as the old surface was always subject to washouts during storms.
I would recommend that this macadam surface be continued south to a point opposite the Soldiers' Monument during the coming year and, eventually, through to Lowell St.
Following is a statement of the receipts and expenditures for 1925, a full report of which will appear in the Town Accountant's report :

ALFRED E. GOODWIN, Superintendent.
Reading, Mass, Dec. 31, 1925.
Forest Glen Cemetery
Trustees of Cemeteries, Reading, Mass.
Gentlemen :- In the 1924 report of the Trustees of Cemeteries brief mention was made of the difficulties encountered in developing new land for cemetery purposes.
In view of the many inquiries made by citizens of the town, regarding the work that has been done during the past season at Forest Glen, I would like to take this opportunity not only to report what has been done but also to explain the method of development adopted by the Trustees.
In laying out a new cemetery, many things have to be considered other than the actual grading and seeding of the various lots and graves, location being, perhaps, the most important.
It should be so situated that it can be reached by automobile every day in the year, if necessary. This means that it should be located near some main artery of travel to avoid excessive snow and mud. Forest Glen at
81
Forest Street being only 150 yards from the State Highway is well situated in that respect and should always be easy of access.
! : ' ' The character of the soil to the depth of at least five feet must be considered. If it is free from ledges and boulders, it can be made ready for burial purposes at a comparatively small expense. Reading, however, like many other New England towns, is underlaid with rock: so much .so that it is hard to excavate even a cellar without encounternig ledge or boulder. With these conditions, it is plain to be seen that the only practical way to overcome the difficulty is to excavate to the proper depth and remove the rock and add that expense to the price of the lot when sold. By so doing, a family lot can be sold with the assurance that every grave space in it is available for burial purposes, and will not later have to be abandoned in whole, or part, because of rock formation.
An area of 39,470 square feet of ground in the northeast corner of Forest Glen Cemetery, bounded on the north by Forest Street and on the east by Pearl Street, has been treated in this manner. This space when graded will make 71 eight-grave and 62 four-grave lots. These lots when graded and seeded are worth $21,950.00 if sold at the same price of lots in Laurel Hill. The total cost of developing these lots appears later in this report.
In modern cemeteries, all lots are sold with a guarantee that a certain amount per square foot shall be retained from the selling price and placed in a trust fund for the perpetual care of the lot and its immediate sur- roundings, the remainder going into the town treasury and may be used to deveicp new lots as needed. If the lot owners are compelled to provide: care for all the lots, the lots should be provided with attractive surround- ings.
The cemetery should be enclosed with a suitable fence, wall or hedge,. and should be provided with well-built avenues, also a suitable drainage system, the care of which will eventually be paid for with the interest from: the Trust Fund.
The Trustees having this in mind decided to build a wall, as most of the material was available on the property and the cost of maintenance being much less than for a fence or hedge.
Before building the wall, however, it was first necessary to submit a profile map of the cemetery land abutting on Pearl Street to the Town Board of Survey (Board of Public Works) as that part of Pearl Street had never been properly laid out, they in turn to establish a grade to which the street would eventually be built, the cemetery wall to be built to conform to the proposed street grade, and also to provide for a pipe line through the cemetery from a catch-basin to be built later by the Highway Department.
This change of grade was not anticipated by the Cemetery Depart- . ment and added considerably to the cost as originally estimated, as it · necessitated building the foundation for the wall from three to eight feet higher in places than the original plan called for, and also compelled us to
82
provide many yards of filling inside the wall that we could not afford to spare. However, this was unavoidable, and the Board of Survey co- operated with the Cemetery Department in every way possible. The change in grade also presented another problem that was unexpected. We not only had to provide drainage for the cemetery, but also for quite a section of Pearl Street and adjacent land.
The cost of laying a pipe line the whole length of the cemetery being prohibitive, the problem was finally solved by laying out the avenue in such a way that by excavating it to the depth of five feet, and using the earth for filling, which we were badly in need of, we had a place to dispose of the rock which was removed from the lots.
We now have the best possible foundation. for an avenue which is also a blind drain, eighteen feet wide and five feet deep, with a fall of one foot to a hundred feet and which will provide ample drainage for all time.
Although it is not in the section that is now being developed, there is one obstruction to this drainage system that should be removed during the coming season. It is a narrow, wedge-shaped ledge that diverts the water from the line of what will, eventually, be a continuation of the avenue now under construction. This should be blasted before monuments are erected, as the cost will be much less now than later on.
In conclusion, I will say that the original plan was to complete in 1925 building the wall on the Forest Street side, and about one-half of the Pearl Street side, but as the contract price for excavating and removing the rock was so low the Trustees deemed it advisable to take advantage of it and build the wall later.
Following is an estimate of the cost of finishing the section now under construction :

FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
To the Citizens of Reading:
The several departments under the direct control of the Board of Public Works have functioned in a manner which we believe has been to the best interest of the town and to the taxpayers.
The policies determined upon by the Board have been carried out under the able supervision of our superintendent and the details covering the activities of the several departments are fully described in reports which follow.
We earnestly desire every citizen to read carefully each section, in order that all may fully understand what has been accomplished and what the Board desires to accomplish in bettering the condition of the streets and sidewalks, and improving the drainage conditions.
We recommend that the same sum be appropriated for the Highway Department in 1926 as was expended in 1925, in order that a certain amount of improved street surface may be laid down, together with the necessary maintenance work on the balance of the streets and sidewalks.
A short section of sidewalk has been laid down on the east side of the Square in front of the Mechanics Savings Bank, where none previously existed. This was done at the request of the directors of the bank, the usual proportion of the cost being paid by the owners of the adjacent property.
The Board recommends that the granite curbstone from near Pleasant St., to and across Haven St. extension, on the east side of the Square, be set back, and the 15 ft. sidewalk be narrowed to 8 ft., thereby adding 7 ft. to the north bound roadway between Haven and Pleasant Sts.
There has been a marked improvement in the use made of the sewers. Many additional connections have been made, but we must again urge connecting of property abutting on sewers where laid, as a duty which is due the community.
Although a cesspool may be causing no trouble, nevertheless the con- tinued use of cesspools in any locality results in contamination of the surrounding areas and may at any time become a serious menace to the health of the community.
The cost of sewer extensions made during the year as well as all maintenance charges have been paid out of receipts from betterment assessments and from the rentals.
85
The Water Department is also self-supporting, and all the extensions, with the exception of Libby Ave., have been made from the receipts. There are many miles of 11-4" pipe in the streets which cannot give satisfactory service and in many of these locations will need to be replaced by 6" pipe the coming season.
