Dumps
John Street public dump was maintained during the year, and a de- partment caretaker was inattendance during scheduled working hours. At intervals through the year, a bulldozer was used to push back and level off the dumping areas. Gravel was applied to the roadway in the dump several times to permit more easy access.
Citizens are again urged to save and turn in on regular salvage col- lections for the war effort all waste paper, tin, fats and metals. Each year tons of these materials are thrown away in the dump by thought- less persons.
War Emergency
During the year, the Department has cooperated with the Reading Public Safety Committee and the local 'Office of Civilian Defense. Emergency equipment has been kept in readiness for any emergency which might occur.
In December, when coal could not be procured for heating schools and public buildings, department trucks, gasoline shovel and personnel, loaded and delivered bituminous coal from the Town's coal stock pile to all public buildings requiring same.

Victory Gardens
Reading's Victory Gardeners, apparently still anxious to grow at least a part of their own food supply and undaunted by the unfavorable weather conditions of the 1943 growing season, again appealed to the Board of Public Works for garden plowing and harrowing, as local pro- fessional plowmen were again unable to accommodate the heavy demand for garden plowing.
The tractor plow and harrow rig started Spring plowing operations on April 21, and followed a chronological list of plowing applications in- sofar as ground conditions permitted : ie, those gardens first on the list but found to be too wet to work were left until a later date, and dry gardens plowed first. Profiting by the experience gained in 1943, also aided by the fact that many gardens which were virgin sod in 1943 had been well conditioned during the year, the plow crew completed a list of 85 Victory Gardens, plowed and harrowed, on May 27. Weather con- ditions were ideal during this plowing period, the total rainfall in Read- ing for the month of May being but .83 inches. Many of the applcations received for plowing were "repeaters" from 1943, others were from new gardeners.
A tentative survey of 1944 Victory Gardens in the Fall showed as a whole that the gardening effort was well worth-while, and that crops as a general thing were more abundant than those of 1943. Good weather with moderate rainfall attended the growing season, and many amateur gardeners had corrected mistakes made in 1943.
Although several applications were received for Fall plowing, pres- sure of departmental work and lack of manpower prevented their being done. These applications will, however, receive priority in 1945 Spring plowing operations.
Hurricane-September 14-15, 1944
The hurricane arrived in Reading at 10:00 P.M. Thursday, Sept. 14, with moderate winds from the South-East, barometric pressure 30.0 inches and falling rapidly. By 11:30 P.M. the wind had increased to hur- ricane velocity and all electric power was off in Reading, with the ex- ception of that section serviced with underground ducts.
At about 9:30 P.M. a thunderstorm started with gentle rain increas- ing rapidly to a torrential downpour. The rain gauge at Hundred Acre Pumping Station recorded 3.71 inches of rainfall Friday morning.
Department personnel were called out at 11:30 P.M. Thursday and held in readiness for emergencies during the peak of the hurricane.
Highway Department
222
The high winds, estimated at 75 to 105 miles per hour by the Boston Weather Bureau, coupled with the heavy rainfall, twisted branches and leaves from trees and caused streets to become flooded in many sections from clogged catch-basins and culverts. Crews of men were sent out to clear catch basins and otherwise permit the water to run off the high- ways.
By 2:00 A.M. the wind had died down to a gentle breeze, and the rain had stopped. At 3:00 A.M., however, the wind shifted to nearly due North, and again attained hurricane velocity, accompanied by heavy rains. This second storm was of greater intensity than the preceding one, but was of shorter tenure, and seemed to cause the most property damage. By 5:00 A.M. Friday, the storm was over and clear weather prevailed.
Crews of men were sent out to clear streets of debris, drain off local floods, and fill washouts. Few large trees were felled by the storm, the damage being mainly confined to branches. No streets were impassable at any time due to tree blocks, although some trees fell in streets. All timber from the storm was trucked to the Welfare Dept. wood yard on John Street.
Hurricane emergency work continued daily through Monday, Sep- tember 18, on which day streets in residential sections were raked clear of fallen leaves, twigs and small branches.
Compared to the hurricane of September 21, 1938, the 1944 hurricane caused little damage in Reading.
Salvage Collection
In cooperation with the Reading Salvage Committee, six Town-wide salvage collections were made in 1944, for paper and tin only. No iron or heavy metals were collected during the year, as the immediate need for this type of material has apparently been satisfied.
The following table shows the dates and approximate quantities of material collected during 1944:

During each of these collections, all Board of Public Works equip- ment and personnel were assigned to the operation, and were assisted each time by trucks and men of the Municipal Light, Cemetery, Moth, and Welfare Departments. Suitable publicity preceded each collection date, and on the appointed days trucks covered every street in Reading, making curb collections.
During each salvage collection, two railroad freight box cars were spotted on Vine Street railroad siding, to receive newspaper and similar textured paper, and local junk dealers were present with trucks to re- ceive books and magazines. The freight cars were routed direct to a paper mill in Bradford, Mass., and the local junk dealers disposed of the books and magazines through the proper channels.
The need for all types of scrap paper in the war effort continues to be of utmost importance, and citizens are urgently requested to cooper- ate in future salvage collections. All kinds of paper are urgently needed, and householders should take time to tie in bundles or bale not only newspaper but paper bags, wrapping paper, envelopes, etc. Then, on regularly scheduled collection days, bundles or bales should be placed on curb or sidewalks in full view of the truck drivers.
Tin collections also have a high priority, and many empty cans now disposed of in the town dump could be saved and used in the war effort if the housewife would rinse them out, remove the labels, and flatten them out after removing the contents. Tin cans should be placed in paper cartons or bags and put out with the paper contributions. All tin cans collected in 1944 were hauled to the Everett City Yards in depart- ment trucks and there loaded into freight cars.

PARK DEPARTMENT
Reading's Park and Playground system again enjoyed a successful and busy year, with its facilities for seasonal sports well patronized by citizens juvenile and adult. The Reading Recreation Committee again sponsored a well-planned and excellently supervised play program during the school vacation months, with a salaried director and playground staff. For a more complete chronicle of the results achieved by the Recreation Committee in 1944, reference is made to the report of said Committee printed elsewhere in this report.
Maintenance and repairs to parks and playgrounds were carefully planned and executed to take full advantage of the limited appropriation available. Services other than those of a strictly essential nature were, therefore, seriously impaired, as lawns, grassed areas, shrubs and orna- mental 'evergreens must of necessity be maintained and account for a goodly portion of the present yearly appropriation.
A brief resume of the improvements and maintenance work accom- plished at each park, playground and recreation center follows :
Memorial Park
No improvements were accomplished at Memorial Park in 1944, due to lack of funds. The grounds were, however, maintained to the fullest extent possible, as were tennis courts, playground equipment, and in win- ter months, the ice skating pond. Some few essential repairs were made to Memorial Park Barn for use of the Recreation Committee supervised play program.
During the September hurricane, several beautiful shade trees were blown down, and other trees were injured when limbs were torn off by the high winds. Hurricane litter was cleaned up as soon as possible and stump holes loamed and graded.
Reading's Tercentenary observances were held at Memorial Park on Memorial Day, which furnished a suitable background for the occasion. Speaker's stand and spectators' seating facilities were erected by depart- ment employees.
Birch Meadow Playground
Birch Meadow Playground continued to be popular for both summer and winter outdoor recreational activities, offering as it does facilities for tennis, baseball and softball, camping, wading, ice skating, hockey, and small children's play apparatus in season. During the Recreation Com- mittee's organized play season, Birch Meadow was in constant use, and maintained the record of highest attendance of any park. All sports facili- ties at the playground were kept in as good repair as the appropriation permitted.
Acts of vandalism continue at Birch Meadow, some of a serious na- ture. In January, the dam controlling water in the skating area and
Park Department
225
hockey rink was partially destroyed, resulting in much loss of water. The dam was rebuilt, and the skating areas back-filled with water from the town water system. Again, early in July, vandals entered the playground, ripped bleacher-boards off the bleachers and demolished them, pulled up and removed the volley ball posts, smashed storage boxes and threw contents into wading pool, etc. In event of apprehension of perpetrators of these acts of wanton destruction of Town property, it is the intent of the authorities to prosecute through the proper channels.
Some additional filling was hauled to the undeveloped portion of Birch Meadow, spread and graded. Brush and trees were removed from other areas during the winter months.
Washington Street Ball Park
The usual Spring maintenance work was accomplished at the Ball Park as early in the Spring as weather conditions permitted, to permit base ball practice by the Reading High School Baseball team. The ball field was kept in reasonable good repair through the playing season, and withstood the Spring drought in fair condition.
Tennis courts, wading pool and small children's play equipment was repaired and maintained, and in constant use in season.
The annual July 4th Field Day, sponsored by the Board of Public Works, was held at the Ball Park on Tuesday, July 4. Under the direc- tion of a representative of the Board of Public Works, assisted by Recrea- tion Committee playground supervisors, twenty-five races, novelty and special events were staged, divided by age brackets into three classes for both boys and girls. Suitable merchandise prizes were awarded to first and second place winners in each event. Approximately 300 persons participated in the Field Day, as contestants and/or spectators.
Sturges Public Ice Skating and Winter Sports Center
Ice skating and hockey was again enjoyed in season by a large group of winter sports devotees. The regular maintenance work was carried on to insure good ice surfaces as conditions warranted. Removal of war emergency blackout restrictions again made possible the use of flood- lights for night hockey and skating activities, and several local ice hockey teams were active. A United States Navy hockey team from the U. S. Navy Frontier Base in Boston also used the hockey rink a few times for practice purpose.
War Memorial
Maintenance of lawned areas, walks and shrubs was carried on through the summer months, and the back-ground planting of evergreen trees was pruned and trimmed to present a pleasing appearance.
Commons and Grass Plots
The Common, Elm, and Leach Parks, and intersection grass plots received no special major improvements during 1944, but were maintained to present a neat appearance.

Main Trunk Sewer Extensions
Six main trunk sewer extensions totaling 918.0 feet were installed in 1944, each installation being made on applications of owners of exist- ing residences and other buildings to connect their premises with the common sanitary sewer. Underdrains totaling 335.0 feet were installed in three streets, in conjunction with trunk sewer extensions.
Sewer Department
228
The longest extension was made to permit connection of a manu- facturing establishment on Pierce Street, that, due to Federal War contracts, urgently required sewage disposal facilities. To make this connection, it was necessary to extend the trunk sewer on Eaton, Salem, and Pierce Streets.
Extensions on Harrison, Linden, Deering, Woburn Streets and Bancroft Avenue were made to permit existing residences whose private cesspools had become unusable to connect with the common sewer. As War Production Board restriction on sewer extensions have been greatly modified, it was not necessary to secure priority ratings for any of these extensions. Twelve existing dwellings were listed as possible house sewer connections through these extensions. Seven were immediately connected.
The following table illustrates main trunk sewer extensions in 1944, by streets.

Sewer Maintenance
One break occurred in a main trunk sewer, caused by storm water drainage construction work on Temple Street. Two new lengths of sewer pipe were folded in to repair the break.
The yearly cleaning and flushing of main trunk sewers laid to flat gradients was accomplished, to eliminate any danger of clogging. No stoppages of main trunk sewers occurred during the year.

Sewer House Connections
Twenty-six new sewer house connections were completed in 1944, having a total length of 1437.90 feet, at an average cost to the individual property owner of $46.89 per connection. Thirteen of the sewer house connections were installed on a cash deposit basis, and thirteen were installed under the provisions of the Sewer Betterment Act which re- quires no initial deposit and permits payments to be extended over a period of years.
The annual notification citing the provisions of Chapter 280, General Laws, Acts of 1937, which became effective July 15, 1938, being an Act requiring property owners to connect their estates with the common sewer within a specified time period, was made to all owners of uncon- nected estates situated on sewered streets. The statute requires that properties abutting streets in which a common sewer is available or is constructed in the future must be connected thereto within a period of ten years, after, either the acceptance date of the Act by the Town (July 15, 1938) or the construction date of a sewer at a later time.
As of January 1, 1945, there are in the area serviced by the Reading sewer system 934 possible sewer house connections on existing sewered streets, of which number 725 or 74 per cent, are now connected. A ma- jority of the remaining 259 possible sewer house connections will be directly affected by the above cited act:ie: Must be connected on or before July 15, 1948.
Sewer House Connection Maintenance
Temporary stoppages occurred in seventeen separate sewer house connections during the year, fifteen of which were caused by tree roots entering the sewer pipe through defective joints, the remaining two caused by the attempted disposal of insoluble objects in the sanitary sewer. It was necessary to re-lay three of the stopped sewer connec- tions in part. A number of sewer connections known to have a tendency to repeatedly clog were rodded and flushed as conditions warranted.
