Highway Department
Again in 1947, as in the past few years, the Department was handi- capped by its inability to hire qualified workmen. Such labor as was available was of poor quality, unstable in nature and insufficient in number. The main trouble is, of course, the inability of the Department to pay salaries comparative to those paid by private industry. A salary schedule should be established which will place the Department in a competitive position in the labor market. This would actually be an economical procedure as it would then be possible for the Department to maintain a higher degree of efficiency per man by hiring better qualified personnel and by reducing the turnover of employees. Every effort was made to make up the deficiency in labor by mechanical means.
Again, as in previous years, many more requests for particular ser- vices were received than could be furnished. This is particularly true in relation to storm drains and granolithic sidewalks. Many requests are now on file for these services. The estimated cost is much in excess of yearly appropriations. This condition will worsen as the Town develops. Larger yearly appropriations are required. Otherwise the situation will reach the point where large Bond Issues will be necessary.
A somewhat detailed account of the work accomplished in the Highway Divisions follows herewith :
Snow and Ice
Twenty snow storms were recorded in Reading during 1947, eight of which were under 1" depth, three were under 2" depth, and seven of which were from 4" to 20" in depth and required plowing. The following table includes only the seven storms requiring highway snow- plowing :

During the early months of 1947 (January and February) only three plowable snow storms occurred, and no difficulty was experienced in highway snow-plowing. Light accumulations of snow were interspersed with the heavy plowable snowfall and necessitated much highway sanding during the months of January, February and March. The month of December, however, was a far different proposition. Snow started early in the month, and coupled with continued cold weather, settled down for an "Old Fashioned Winter" which to date of writing this report has exceeded in total inches of snowfall, all existing records. For the most part the snow storms in December were easily handled, but with the continued accumulation of snow in the early part of 1948, and con- tinuous cold weather, the task becomes more difficult and involved.
Departmental snow-fighting equipment was augmented by several hired privately owned units : ie : Three five-ton trucks, one plow-mounted truck-(tractor-trailer type), two 11/2 ton trucks, and three tractors.
The snow loader continued to be of utmost value in snow removal work, and has suffered no major mechanical breakdowns. Such cannot be said regarding trucks and crawler-type tractors. For the most part. departmental trucks and tractors are old and obsolete, and heavy snow- plowing work magnifies their defects and causes many breakdowns. When this occurs, other units must be taken from their plow-routes to cover-in on the route of the failed unit, upsetting the plowing schedule and resulting in delayed plow service. A planned program of equipment replacement should be instituted at once and strictly adhered to.
General Highway Maintenance
Road maintenance programs were established and executed with efforts to make the available funds cover the most street surface in an effective manner. Although the spring thaws caused some damage to streets, it was less than in previous years although serious on many streets where inadequate drainage exists. The amount of available
185
Highway Department

funds did not permit as much street surfacing to be done as was desired and necessary.
Much road patching was necessary. This was accomplished mostly with commercial patching. Very little patch was mixed by the De- partment due to a continuous shortage of labor.
The annual spring sweeping and cleaning of streets and gutters was accomplished as usual. A heavy deposit of sand from winter oper- ations was encountered. To expedite this work, an Elgin street sweeper was hired as was a Case Tractor with front end bucket. The Depart- ment Roto-Sweeper was also used. These three units permitted the work to be done with a minimum of hand labor.
Brush was cut from roadsides during the early spring and late fall months.
Many street signs were made, lettered and hung by Department employees. This type of work was done mainly during inclement wea- thr so that it would not interfere with other work which must neces- sarily be done during good weather.
Many other tasks were accomplished by this division such as, in- stalling granite curbs, sharpening and repairing tools, repairing equip- ment, surveys for current and future operations, crushing gravel, re- pairing guard rails, etc.
Chapter 90 Maintenance
Chapter 90 Maintenance work, made possible by funds allotted by the State, County and Town, was accomplished on certain well travelled roads. The work consisted of surface treatments of a varied nature, patching holes, replacing spalled stone pavement, repairing guard rails, etc.
Chapter 90 Construction
Chapter 90 Construction work was accomplished only on Lowell Street between Winthrop Avenue and Highland Street. Again the funds for the work are allotted by the State, County and Town. Part of the 1947 Contract work still remains to be done. All work of an underground nature has been completed but the surfacing still remains to be done. It will be completed in 1948.
Chapter 83 Construction (Street Betterments)
Some work was accomplished under this heading. In the main, however, it was necessary, due to the lack of laborers, to postpone much of the work to 1948. One street, West Hill Circle, was completed. Accepted in 1941, this street was a war-time hold-over due to scarcity of materials and labor.
Highway Department
186
Granolithic Sidewalk Construction
Many individual granolithic sidewalks were installed in 1947, each being installed at the request of the abutting property owner under the Betterment Act with the owner and the Town each paying one half of the cost. 2,179.31 feet of Granolithic Sidewalk was installed in 1947.
Sidewalk Maintenance
Much work was done maintaining both grave! and granolithic side- walks. Many new gravel sidewalks were built in front of newly con- structed houses.
Granite Curbing
1,257.4 lineal feet of granite curbing was installed at various locations upon application from abutting property owners under the provisions of the Betterment Act. Corner radius curbing was installed in several locations where conditions warranted.
Storm Water Drains
A total of 2,062.25 lineal feet of storm water drainage was installed plus the necessary catch basins and manholes. All were installed to relieve conditions which had been causing damage, irritation and inconvenience to many abuttors as well as to improve the travelling conditions on many roads where the accumulations of water in the summer and ice in the winter had created dangerous driving conditions.
Maintenance of Storm Water Drains
Many existing drains were rodded and flushed. Where necessary, plugged drains were excavated and cleaned. In some instances, sections of drains were relaid. Many open ditches were cleaned, widened and deepened.
Catch basins and manholes were cleaned in the fall months by means of a rented Catch Basin Cleaning Machine plus one departmental truck.
Heavy rainfall occurred during the year on two or three occasions causing many ditches and drains to overflow due to inadequate carrying capacity.
The Quannapowitt Drain System, although not yet completed, con- tinued to function well.
Dumps
The public dump on John Street was maintained during the year, with a caretaker on duty during scheduled hours. The area was also leveled regularly with a bulldozer. As the practice of using various roadside dumps throughout the Town subsides, the amount of rubbish brought to the dump increases. The great majority of the people using the dump co-operate willingly with the caretaker. A few, however, refuse to co-operate. These few make the job of keeping the dump in fair condition much harder and more expensive than is necessary.

PARK DEPARTMENT
Parks and playgrounds were popular throughout the year. Many leagues were organized. These included baseball, softball, hockey and others. All parks were in constant use but the Washington Street Park ballfield received particularly heavy use.
As usual the Park Appropriation was only sufficient to cover the maintenance of the Parks. Consequently, no major improvements were possible and no new equipment was purchased.
Organized recreation programs were provided in all playgrounds during the Summer months by the Recreation Committee. This De- partment cooperated with the Recreation Committee to the fullest extent possible.
The report of the Recreation Committee is included in the annual town report, and should be studied by Townspeople for a more detailed account of the excellent results obtained by this program.
Additional areas were filled in Birch Meadow with excess material from various construction jobs. The area now filled has reached the point where it may, for a relatively small expenditure, be made available for recreational purposes. Funds should be made available for this purpose.
The area leased to the Town by Mr. Allan Sturges for a Winter Sports Center was again very popular. The area abutting Walnut Street has been leased to the Town, at no cost, for several years. The Town certainly owes Mr. Sturges a vote of thanks for his public spirited action.

MAIN TRUNK SEWER EXTENSION
Main Trunk sewer extensions were installed in five streets, totalling 1,455.00 feet in length and making possible twenty-eight house con- nections. In December, the Town Meeting authorized a bond issue of $65,000.00 for sewer extensions. This will enable the Department to furnish sewers in many locations where cesspool troubles have been prevalent for many years.
The following table illustrates main trunk sewer extensions in 1947, by street :

Sewer Maintenance
Many trunk sewers were cleaned and flushed to prevent stoppages. Manholes were maintained and covers were packed to prevent noisy conditions. No stoppages occurred during 1947 in main trunk sewers.
Sewer House Connections
Fifty-one new sewer connections were completed in 1947, having a total length of 3,149.80 feet, an average length of 61.76 feet and at an average cost to the individual property owner of $69.55 per connection. Five of the sewer connections were installed on a cash deposit basis. and forty-six under the provisions of the Sewer Betterment Act which requires no initial deposit and permits payments to be extended over a period of years. Thirty-nine of the connections were made to existing dwellings on sewered streets, nine to newly erected dwelling houses one to a newly erected garage, one to an existing store, and one to an existing manufacturing establishment.
As of January 1, 1948, there are in the area serviced by the Reading Sewer System, 1,048 possible sewer house connections on existing sew- ered streets, of which number 841 or 80% are now connected. A ma- jority of the remaining 207 possible sewer house connections will be directly affected by the provisions of Chapter 280, General Laws, Acts of 1937, which became effective July 15, 1938, requiring property owners to connect their estates with the common sewer where sewers were available. The ten-year period of grace cited in said Chapter 280 expires on July 15, 1948.
Sewer House Connection Maintenance
Temporary stoppages occurred in the usual number of cases during the year. Some were due to natural causes such as tree roots growing through joints. Others were caused by the introduction of foreign objects. such as, rags, milk bottles, toys, etc. In the latter case, the owners pay for the cost of the service.
