I submit my report as Town Counsel for the year 1957 as follows:
The work of the Town Counsel continued to increase during the year 1957.
Meetings were held with the Highland School Rebuilding Commit- tee and the architect in connection with the procedures to be followed for the reconstruction of that school; contracts and specifiations and bid forms were examined; opinions were given in connection with bids and sub-bids received; conferences were held with the bidding con- tractors and the Department of Labor and Industries for the Common- wealth, and the Committee and architect; and the contract with the contractor was examined and approved.
Conferences were held with the Insurance Committee and Insurance Advisory Committee in connection with the damage suffered by the Town as a result of the fire in the Highland School and the payment to be made by the insurance companies having the fire coverage for this building; conferences were also held with representatives of the insurance companies; an insurance appraiser was retained to protect the interest of the Town and conferences were held with him and in- spection of the building; opinions were given to the Insurance Com- mittee in connection with co-insurance and settlement of the Town's loss; settlement papers were examined and approved.
The hearings before the Department of Public Utilities in connec- tion with the new rate schedules of the Municipal Light Department were concluded. A brief was filed in opposition to the complaints of the Towns of Wilmington and Lynnfield. These complaints were dis- missed and the new schedule of rates was approved by the Department.
The Municipal Light Department was represented at the hearings before the Department of Public Utilities in connection with the pro- posed change in the fuel adjustment charge and the proposed change in rate schedules of Boston Edison. These hearings extended over a period of six days and are not yet concluded. In preparation for the hearings it was necessary to confer with the Municipal Light Board and witnesses.
Negotiations were completed for Jacob Way and all deeds for the land taken by the Town were recorded.
Conferences were held with counsel representing the Methodist Church of the deeds prepared and recorded for the conveyance of title of the Center School property to the Church.
The leases with the organizations occupying rooms in the Com- munity Center were prepared and signed, following conferences with the Selectmen.
Two lawsuits brought against the Town for personal injuries were settled and releases prepared and signed. Two other lawsuits for
230
damages resulting from the taking of land for drainage and slope easements were also settled and releases signed. One suit alleging a defect of the highway was tried and a decision rendered in favor of the Town. There are presently three lawsuits pending against the Town, alleging defects of the streets or sidewalks. Negotiations for the settlement of one of these claims have been completed subject to the approval of the next Town Meeting. There are also pending six claims for personal injuries alleged to have resulted from sidewalk or street defects.
Two appeals were taken during the year from decisions of the Board of Appeal. One case is on the trial list. The other case has been tried and a decision rendered affirming the Board's decision. An appeal has been taken to the Supreme Judicial Court.
A lawsuit against the Municipal Light Department arising out of construction of the underground cable in Lynnfield was defended and a decision rendered in favor of the Town.
The litigation involving the construction of the High School sewer was terminated.
There are three other lawsuits pending against the Town: (1) a case involving construction of sewers and alleged extra payments; (2) a case involving payment of funds for the grading and development of Birch Meadow; and (3) a mandamus action against the Selectmen by a former police officer. In each case pleadings have been filed and reports made to the Board or Department involved.
Conferences have been held with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health in connection with the air pollution and odors believed to arise in Woburn. A formal written complaint was made to this Department together with requests for a public hearing.
Meetings were held with the Selectmen in connection with the use of Longwood Road by trucks hauling gravel from a pit in Woburn. Titles to land in the vicinity of this road have been examined and conferences held with other Boards of the Town and the Massachusetts Department of Public Works.
Title to the John Street Laundry property was examined and con- ferences held with counsel representing parties having an interest in that property in connection with the abatement of an alleged nuisance and dangerous condition. Notices were prepared for a hearing by the Selectmen to determine the condition of the property in accordance with the appropriate statute.
Deeds for the conveyance of tax title land have been recorded and redemption certificates prepared.
Suit was commenced for the Welfare Department to recover from an Estate for aid given to the deceased, and negotiations conducted with counsel for the Estate and correspondence with the State Welfare Board.
Articles and motions have been prepared for the Annual and Special Town Meetings.
231
During the year there were many conferences with the Board of Public Works, and opinions rendered in connection with contracts, bonds, easements, subdivision, the dump, control of water use, better- ments, and other matters.
I have attended on Monday evenings the regular meetings of the Board of Selectmen, rendered opinions to all Town Boards and Com- mittees, attended meetings and hearings of Boards and Committees when requested so to do, investigated accident cases and claims against the Town, prepared decisions in dog cases, prepared the necessary pa- pers for changes in traffic regulations, prepared new by-laws for pre- sentation to Town Meeting, prepared amendments to the Zoning By- Laws, collected funds due the Town, and performed all other services requested of me as Town Counsel.

REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Reading, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I submit my report as Moth Superintendent for 1957.
The helicopter spraying for the control of Dutch Elm Disease was very satisfactory due to an exceptional pilot and good weather. This spray is also of great assistance in the control of gypsy moth and the early mosquito larva.
Cuttings from one hundred and ninety-three elms were sent to the University of Massachusetts Shade Tree Laboratory to be cultured. One hundred and sixty-six trees were certified as having Dutch Elm Dis- ease. Five of these trees were on the State Highway, these will be re- moved by the State Highway Department. Twenty-two were town road- side trees, three were on other public property and the remaining one hundred and thirty-six were on private property. All of the trees on public property have been removed and burned. One hundred and eighteen of the private trees have been removed. The remaining eight- een will be removed as soon as the property owners return their release forms.
Foliage wilting is the first indication of this disease. Last sum- mer's drought caused much premature wilting, which made detection very difficult. For this reason I believe there may be infected trees that we have not checked.
There was a slight decrease in the spraying on private property as there were very few Japanese Beetles. The drought condition during the summer did more to eradicate these beetles than any insecticide.
I wish to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen and all others who have assisted me in the past year.
Respectfully submitted, MAURICE H. DONEGAN
Moth Superintendent

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
Honorable Board of Selectmen,
Reading, Mass.
Gentlemen:
I submit my report as Tree Warden for 1957.
During the past year this department planted two hundred and sixty-five shade trees. Two hundred and thirty-nine were sugar maples, twenty-two Norway maples and four Lindens.
It was necessary to remove sixty-one trees from the roadside. Seven- teen were destroyed by gas leaks, twenty-two elms were removed under the Dutch Elm Disease program. The remaining twenty-two trees were either unsafe or were removed for highway improvements.
In addition to considerable spot trimming we were able to clear the Electric Light wires, removed the dead and low branches on twenty streets. This line clearance was paid for by the Electric Light Depart- ment.
I take this opportunity to thank the men of this department, the many citizens and the other town departments who have assisted me in the past year.
Respectfully submitted, MAURICE H. DONEGAN
