With the exception of three small wooden bridges over Track (Private) Road East and West and Harvest (Private) Road, in the old Reading-Wakefield Fair Grounds location, all culverts in the entire drain layout will have been completed by March 1, 1943, leaving mostly machine excavation of the ditch to be done, with little hand labor re- quired. Property owners in the so-called Fair Grounds section ยท have
304
reported favorably on the improvement in drainage conditions already resulting from the completed drain ditch in their neighborhood.
In Wakefield and Lynnfield improved drainage conditions are readily apparent through sections adjacent to the completed ditch, and the Committee has every reason to believe that when the ditch is ex- tended through the swamplands bordering John Street and Ash Street to its ultimate completion, the ditch will eliminate the existing deplor- able drainage conditions in that area, as well as providing a runoff for surface water from a large section of Reading which now outlets into the stagnant swamplands on John Street.
The Committee is well aware of the necessary curtailment of civic improvements during war times, but is convinced that the Quannapowitt Drain will be of such value to the community as to warrant its com- pletion; also, the materials necessary for its completion are not now listed by the War Production Board as critical materials.
The question of future financing of the project, if unexpended Fed- eral funds are withdrawn, is being seriously considered by the Commit- tee and the State Department of Public Works. A report on this will if possible be prepared for presentation at the March 1943 Town Meeting.
In closing this report, the Committee wishes to express its ap- preciation of the co-operation received through the year from the State Department of Public Works, the Reading Board of Public Works, and the other Boards and officials with whom it has conferred.
