recently. It is a form designated "Certification of Eligibility" and the work required for filling it out is the same task we have always per- formed in any relief case, that is, the proper investigation and inquiry, the presenting of the facts and conditions of the case to the local board, and the action of the board authorizing such relief as may be deemed necessary. Now, however, this form, after being properly completed locally, goes along to the state district office and is there approved officially as a "certified relief case." It seems very nearly to be placing the unfortunate person or family concerned under a social classification apart from others. It gives an unpleasant sugges - tion of permanency to the transaction, somehow admitting that a new social order is upon us. Perhaps it is.
On behalf of the department workers, and for myself, I wish to give recognition to the interest and attention given by the board throughout the year, and to express appreciation for the cooperation of other town departments and for the assistance which many citizens have given us in various ways.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD E. HARNDEN, Welfare Superintendent and Director of Old Age Assistance.
SPECIAL DRAINAGE COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Reading :
The Special Committee on Drainage for the low area adjacent to Lake Quannapowitt submits herewith a report of their progress during 1939.
The Committee was established at a Special Town Meeting held March 20, 1939, under Article 2, and the members of the Committee met for the first time on March 31, 1939 in Room 19, Municipal Build- ing, and elected as officers Wendell P. Davis, Chairman; Harold W. Putnam, Secretary; Philip Welch, Clerk. Sub-committees were also appointed to confer with State Departments of Health and Public Works, also a Legislative Committee.
During the year, the Committee held fourteen meetings, two of which were joint meetings with Wakefield Town officials and interested citizens. At the joint meetings, the Committee endeavored to arrive
288
at some method of solving the drainage problem which would be suit- able to both Towns, but was unsuccessful.
After careful deliberation, the engineering firm of Whitman & Howard was retained as consultants to review the drainage methods suggested in past years and recommend a definite drainage system. Much field and office work was accomplished by this firm, and a report made to the Committee on their findings.
At a Special Town Meeting held June 5, 1939, the Committee re- ported their progress to the Town, and made several recommendations, the most pertinent of which was that the Town petition the General Court of the Commonwealth for special legislation providing for the drainage of the low areas located within the limits of the Town of Reading adjacent to Lake Quannapowitt. Unanimous consent of the meeting was given, and the General Court was so petitioned.
As House Bill Number 2398, a petition was introduced, and after its entry was allowed by Legislative committees, assigned to the Committee on Harbors and Public Lands. Hearings were held and several amend- ments were made to the original bill. Finally, the following Act was passed and signed by the Governor of the Commonwealth on August 11, 1939 :
CHAPTER 458-ACTS OF 1939 THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
In the Year One Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty-Nine AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE DRAINAGE OF THE LOW LANDS ADJACENT TO LAKE QUANNAPOWITT IN THE TOWN OF READING
Section 1. Subject to the conditions herein imposed the Depart- ment of Public Works hereinafter referred to as the Department is hereby authorized and directed to construct a system of drainage or other works for suitably draining the low lands located in the Town of Reading adjacent to Lake Quannapowitt, and said Department is hereby authorized and empowered to construct such ditches, dikes, dams, channels, canals, pipe lines or other structures and to construct and reconstruct such dams, weirs, outlets, culverts or other works as such department may deem necessary and proper for carrying out the provisions of this act.
Section 2. In carrying out the provisions of section one the De- partment shall have the authority to establish from time to time the legal high water level of Lake Quannapowitt and provide for the proper removal of the water of the lake at all times and to remove any ob-
289
struction to the flow of the Saugus River in this vicinity, for the pur- pose of preventing the flooding of lands adjacent to said lake and for the accomplishment of all the purposes set forth in this act. The Town of Wakefield may regulate the water of the lake between the high water mark established hereunder and the low water mark established by chapter five hundred and thirty-nine of the acts of nineteen hundred and nine. The Department shall so construct the drainage works here- in provided for and the Town of Reading shall so maintain and operate them that the water level in the lake can, so far as practicable, be maintained between said marks.
Section 3. For the purpose of constructing such drainage system and carrying out the provisions of this act the said department, acting in behalf of the Commonwealth, may take by right of eminent domain under the provisions of chapter seventy-nine of the General Laws or acquire by purchase or otherwise all lands, water rights, rights of way and easements within the Towns of Reading, Wakefield and Lynnfield which the department may deem necessary for the purposes of this act.
Section 4. The total cost of said work shall not exceed one hun- dred and twenty-five thousand dollars, and the town of Reading shall pay into the state treasury the initial sum of ten thousand dollars, which sum shall constitute a fund for the improvements herein authorized, and be used without further appropriation by the general court, in part for the necessary engineering service, surveys and the design of the pro- posed drainage system, and no construction work shall be begun here- under until the department has held a public hearing, duly advertised, and there shall have been paid into the state treasury by the said town the further sum of one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars which shall be added to said fund. Any surplus of said fund remaining after the completion of the work authorized by this act shall be refunded by the state treasurer to the said town; provided, however, that no lands, water rights, rights of way or easements shall be taken or purchased nor shall any construction work be commenced until such time as the drainage system designed by the department shall have been approved by the special drainage committee of the town of Reading. Such fund may be expended, without further appropriation by the general court, in co-operation with the federal government in unemployment relief and other projects as may be determined by the department.
Section 5. For the purposes set forth in this act, the town of Read- ing after the acceptance thereof, as hereinafter provided, may borrow from time to time, within a period of five years from the effective date of this act, such sums of money as may be necessary not exceeding, in the aggregate, one hundred thousand dollars, and may issue bonds or notes therefor, which shall bear on their face the words "Town of Read- ing, Drainage Loan Act of 1939." Each authorized issue shall constitute
290
a separate loan, and such loans shall be paid in not more than thirty years from their dates. Indebtedness incurred under this act shall be in ex- cess of the statutory limit, but shall, except as provided herein, be sub- ject to chapter forty-four of the General Laws, exclusive of the limita- tion contained in the first paragraph of section seven thereof.
Section 6. When the work authorized herein shall have been com- pleted, the same shall be maintained by said town of Reading and said town is hereby authorized to enter upon and dig up and excavate with- in the limits of the towns of Wakefield and Lynnfield any private land within the area of any easement acquired under this act, or any public or private way for the purposes of maintaining, repairing or recon- structing such system or works, and to do any other things necessary or proper for any of the foregoing purposes; provided that any public way in the town of Wakefield in which the maintenance work is done under the provisions of this act shall be restored by the said town of Reading to a condition satisfactory to the selectmen of the town of Wakefield. All lands or rights in land acquired by the department in connection with the work shall be conveyed by the department to the said town of Reading.
Section 6A. Nothing in this act shall be deemed to affect any pro- vision of chapter four hundred and eighty-eight of the acts of nineteen hundred and two.
Section 7. This act shall be submitted to the registered voters of the town of Reading for acceptance at any annual or special town meet- ing held within three years after its passage, but such special town meeting shall not be held during the period from June fifteenth to Sep- tember fifteenth in any year, in the form of the following question which shall be placed on the official ballot for the election of officers if at an annual meeting and on a special ballot if at a special town meeting : "Shall an act passed by the general court in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-nine entitled 'An Act providing for the drainage of the low lands adjacent to Lake Quannapowitt in the town of Reading', be accepted?" If a majority of the voters of said town vote in the affirmative, then this act shall thereupon take full effect, but not other- wise.
This Act required that Chapter 458 be submitted to the voters of Reading by ballot before becoming effective. A special election was held Monday, October 2, 1939, at which a majority of the votes cast were in favor of accepting the Act, which immediately became law.
Chapter 458 further provided that an initial sum of $10,000.00 be paid by the Town of Reading into the State Treasury, to constitute a fund for the improvements authorized by the Act and to be used in part for the necessary engineering service, surveys and the design of the pro-
291
posed drainage system by the State Department of Public Works. At a Special Town Meeting held October 17, 1939, the sum of $10,000.00 was raised and appropriated and subsequently paid into the State Treasury.
Field crews from the State Department of Public Works have, at the time of this report, nearly completed their preliminary surveys; and a tentative design for the proposed drainage system is being drawn. When the drainage system plans are completed, hearings will be held with representatives from the three townships affected present: i. e., Reading, Wakefield and Lynnfield Center, with final approval and ac- ceptance of the system vested in the voters of the Town of Reading.
It was intended by the Committee to present the design of an ap- proved drainage system to the citizens of Reading at the annual March, 1940 Town Meeting, but due to the amount of preliminary work neces- sary by the State Department of Public Works, this does not now seem probable. The State Department of Public Works is making every possible effort to have the design ready for presentation to the Town at an early date. Final approval of the design to be submitted by the State must be given by the Special Drainage Committee, and an addi- tional appropriation must be made before actual construction work can be started.
The Committee will present the approved drainage plan to a Special Town Meeting in the year 1940.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK AND FOOD
To the Honorable Board of Health,
Gentlemen :
The inspection of the milk supply of the Town of Reading for the year 1939, has consisted of the analysis of the local milk for its bac- teria content and the fat and total solids contents. Eighty-nine sam- ples of milk were analyzed with satisfactory results in most cases. There were four cases of mastitis found in the raw milk, but were remedied before any damage was done. Something will have to be done about the raw milk situation in the near future to avoid any possible chance of trouble.
In addition to the analysis of the milk, eighteen dairy inspections were made during the year. These inspections consist of the inspec- tion of the cows, the barns, and milk rooms, as well as the equipment and the manner in which the milk is handled. There were very few infractions of the Board's regulations and these have been remedied.
There were fifty-five dealers and stores licensed to sell milk and cream, and ten stores licensed to sell oleo-margarine.
The inspection of the food supply consisted of the inspection of all stores, bakeries, and restaurants where food is stored or handled. Also in some cases in the inspection of the food. In most cases the sani- tary conditions of the places handling food were found to be satis- factory. Thirty-four inspections were made this year.
Respectfully submitted, CARL M. SMITH,
Inspector of Milk and Food.

REPORT OF BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the Citizens of the Town of Reading :
This Board organized on March 7, 1939 by electing Arthur S. Cook, Chairman, Edgar Frost, Secretary and George E. Horrocks being the third member of the Board. Christine F. Atkinson and Constance B. Marden were retained as office assistants. Ruth T. VanHorn and Helen Badger were appointed Assistant Assessors to canvas and compile the Poll and Dog Lists. Owing to a change of the law covering the com- pilation of the annual Street and Alphabet List, this work was trans- ferred to the Board of Registrars.
The Field Work of the Board of Assistant Assessors began on January 3, 1939 and continued until completion.
Construction of new buildings in Reading during the past year is reflected by the addition of 35 new buildings, which together with the additions and alterations, indicated an increase in taxable valuation amounting to $127,970.
Owing to action by the Massachusetts Legislature, announcement of the 1939 Tax Rate was necessarily delayed until Sept. 1, 1939 and although drastic reductions were made in the budgets of the various Town Boards, the State and County taxes were greatly increased, which combined with debt and interest maturing, resulted in a Tax Rate of $34.00 per M., or an increase of $1.50 over the 1938 Tax Rate.
All abatement and exemption requests have been acted upon and decisions rendered in accordance with our best judgment.
This Board meets on Friday evenings from 7:30 to 9:00 p. m. at the Municipal Building for the convenience of citizens desiring to con- fer with the Board.
The following statistics for 1939 are respectfully submitted :
