Board of Survey Division
During the year 1955, a total of 15 duly advertised public hearings were held on petition of contractors, developers and/or home owners for acecptance of lines and grades of proposed street layouts. Estimates were prepared and surety bonds secured for construction of six of these
147
locations. Grades were changed on several streets after due notice and public hearing as required by law.
Many individual lot and/or small subdivision plans where the property abutted on public town ways were examined and endorsed as not requiring Board of Survey approval under the Subdivision Control Law, Chapter 41, General Laws, for filing in the Registry of Deeds and Land Court.
Recommendations
The continued rapid growth of Reading have resulted in increased demands for utilities and services of all types. Chief among these are sanitary sewage extensions, water main extensions, storm drain in- stallation including piping of existing open water courses. Unless annual appropriations are substantially increased, many of the request- ed services will of necessity be postponed for some time, due to lack of funds. I therefore recommend that annual appropriations for main trunk sewer extensions, sewer house connections, storm drain installa- tions and maintenance of storm drains be substantially increased.
The Capital Expenditures Planning Committee have designated 1956 as the year in which funds would be allocated for an addition to the Municipal Garage for the use of the various Public Works Depart- ments. At the March 1946 annual Town Meeting the sum of $25,000.00 was transferred from Water Available Surplus for the purpose of con- structing this addition, but the funds transferred proved insufficient to construct the proposed addition. Ten years have since elapsed, and the Municipal Garage has now reached a point where proper storage and maintenance of equipment and supplies for the Water, Sewer and Highway Departments is nearly an impossibility. Equipment is crowded to the danger point, and in the event of fire it would be very difficult to move even the rolling equipment to safety. I recommend that the additional sum of $15,000 be raised from the Tax Levy or from avail- able funds for this extension, and that the Department act as contractor on construction of the addition and sublet such work as can more economically be sub-contracted.
Within the near future, it will be necessary to have a long-range study made of future sewer extensions, such as was last made in September 1916 by F. A. Barbour. The scope of this study will be of such magnitude that it should be accomplished by competent consult- ing engineers.
With the rapid increase in population and resultant added use of water, a survey should also be made of additional water collection and treatment facilities. Additional water supplies may well be needed prior to the proposed connection with the Metropolitan District Com- mission water supply.
In closing this report I wish to thank the Board of Public Works for their cooperation, the members of the department for their efficient work, and other town officials, departments and citizens who have cooperated with and assisted this department.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES T. PUTNAM, Superintendent
