FOREST GLEN CEMETERY REPORT 1935
To the Board of Cemetery Trustees,
Town of Reading, Mass.
Gentlemen :
During the year 1935 there has been no new development in Forest Glen Cemetery. The regular maintenance work has been carried on. The trees and shrubs that were set out are showing improvement each year and help to beautify the Cemetery. The section west of the Ave- nue at Forest Glen Road is gradually being filled in. Two hundred and fifty loads of filling were hauled there this season. I recommend that we get enough filling this next year to complete that part of the work.
I have sold three lots this year, had five interments and repaired two winter graves. Nine hundred and fifty-three stepping stones and five hundred and ten corner markers were reset. There being little demand for large lots, I have changed thirty-eight grave lots into fours, making seventy-six additional four grave lots. The numbers are made and will be set in the spring.
A W. P. A. project has been presented to dig over a depth of five feet two areas consisting of two thousand six hundred and twenty square yards at the left of the Main Avenue at the Pearl Street En- trance and to build two roads bordering this area, including an exten- sion of water pipe. A section of this area is to be reserved for the burial of Veterans who served in the Wars of the United States of
104
America. When this work is completed it will be a great improvement to this section of the Cemetery.
The financial statement will appear in the report of the Town Ac- countant.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM P. PIERPONT, Superintendent.

FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
For the Year Ended December 31, 1935
To the Citizens of the Town of Reading :
The year of 1935 started with some serious problems. The ex- treme cold caused many frozen water service pipes and meters and the employees of the Water Department were busily engaged for some time repairing the damage.
On January 23 heavy snow fell and due to the restricted finances of the Board during the past two years, the equipment used in the work of clearing had become unequal to the task. Much of it broke down leaving the streets of the Town in a sad state. This caused the Board much embarrassment and cost the Town a large sum of money as snow removal costs more the longer it is delayed. This par- ticular increase can be directly traced to lack of necessary funds for equipment and the added strain of increased work added by the E. R. A. and other relief agencies.
The Town's water supply having developed iron, considerable work and investigation became necessary.
On March 8 the new Board of Public Works organized in ac- cordance with the requirements of Chapter 118 of the Acts of 1921. Harold W Putnam was elected Chairman and A. Russell Barnes, Jr., was elected Secretary. On July 8, Mr. Philip Welch was appointed Superintendent of Public Works to take the place of Mr. Alexander Birnie, who had served as Superintendent since March, 1931.
The Highway Department funds were only sufficient to pro- vide the bare necessities under ordinary conditions, and with the elim- ination of State aid work and the expenditure of a sizable sum to aid in carrying on the E. R. A. and W. P. A., the appropriation was so depleted that it was impossible to care for the streets properly and many complaints were registered during the year.
The usual sidewalk program was followed which provided for the construction of 903 feet of permanent sidewalks. The balance of the funds were used for general repairs.
One sanitary sewer extension and several storm water drains were laid during the year and the work was performed with W. P. A. and E R. A. labor.
The development of iron in the water supply of the Town caused
108
the Board to have investigations made by Weston and Sampson, En- gineers. Later the same engineers designed a filter plant to correct the conditions found. A contract was let for its construction and the work is now progressing in a satisfactory manner.
The successful request of the Board for a Federal grant of 45 per cent of the cost and the favorable bid for the construction has paved the way for a reduction in the water rates which will be effective in July, 1936.
Activities in the Parks have been on the increase during the last five years and 1935 was no exception. This increase was particularly noticed at Washington St. Park in base-ball and in Birch Meadow for the smaller children. Washington St. Park has been completely re- novated and will be in excellent condition during the coming season. With Federal agencies continuing, further improvements should be made in 1936 as this work provides labor with a minimum of material expense.
The Board strongly urges the continuation of park and playground development at a moderate rate, the construction of permanent side- walks at a more rapid rate and the yearly construction of permanent pavements on its streets. The street construction should be done as far as possible through the aid of the State and County under Chapter 90. This co-operative work provides more labor in dollars than the Town actually contributes in addition to providing a road surface re- quiring practically no maintenance for several years. The Town can- not afford to pass up this saving.
Although not within the province of the Board, some study has been made of ash collection. The Board's experience in caring for the John St. Dump has shown that the dump nuisance so long a com- plaint of many citizens, cannot be corrected without the organized col- lection of ashes and rubbish by some method convenient and inex- pensive to the residents.
We strongly emphasize at this time that a new building for the housing of the equipment of the Board of Public Works is necessary. At present some of the equipment is being housed in private garages and some of lesser value is left in the open. The present barn is not only inadequate and unsuitable, but is fast approaching the point
109
when it will be unsafe. This, added to the fact that the location is in a residential area and because of the nature of activity carried on there, is objectionable, makes it imperative that consideration be given to a new building in a new location. Several locations have been considered, but the most favorable yet proposed is the land owned by the Town on John St. and now used as a dump. The Board recommends that a start be made during 1936 on the construction of a new Public Works garage.
During the year much repair work was done on the Department's trucks and equipment. At present the trucks and equipment in gen- cral are in a much better condition than they were a year ago. A new Walters 3 1-2 Ton Model F. M. truck was purchased during the year.
Attention should be called to the amount of money taken from the regular appropriations to assist the E. R. A. and W. P. A. pro- jects For example, the appropriation for highways, $25,000.00. From this it was necessary to expend $9,804.11 to enable highway W. P. A. projects to operate. For complete details see table of expenses by de- partments on page 135 in the Superintendent's report. This type of expenditure is so large that the Board feels a separate fund should be set up for the work in order to allow the full amount of appropria- tions to be used for the purposes intended.
Realizing the importance of planning, and progressive improve- ments, the Board has developed a program to be followed in general over a period of years with a view to anticipating expenditures and coordinating with major expenditures of other Town Boards, so as to avoid if possible, a major expenditure from the tax levy for more than one board in any one year. With many of our expenditures of a general character there is much repetition each year, but the plan indicates what increase may be expected, and what special plans are contemplated. All should realize that such a plan cannot be con- sidered hard and fast, and will be subject to revision from year to year as the necessity arises.
The plan covering a period of ten years is shown on the following eight pages.

There will be a betterment income of approximately $1,000.00 per Year.
It is proposed to start at the outlet points in the storm drain system and work away from same through streets in substantially in the manner as laid out in the Barbour Plan which was developed for the town some years ago. open ditches will be piped in the same manner, starting at the outlets and working back through the ditch sys- tem so as to eventually cover in all open ditches.
By doing these two projects jointly the entire drainage system will eventu- ally be under ground.
Sanitary Sewers : Progressive construction to reach 100 per cent sew- er installation in all streets.
Note: Income from sewer rental will increase as number of users increases. As a result, sewer rentals should be reduced at regular intervals. Sewer Rentals should be assessed so that the income from same is only enough to balance the maintenance costs.
Note : In the event that the plan becomes operative, easements for future requirements should be obtained now.
