To the Municipal Light Board
Town of Reading
Reading, Massachusetts
We have examined the accompanying balance sheet of the Mu- nicipal Light Department of the Town of Reading, Massachusetts as at December 31, 1962 and the related statements of income and profit and loss for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and included such tests of the accounting records and other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet, and statements of income and profit and loss present fairly the financial position of the Municipal Light Department as at December 31, 1962 and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with the "Uniform System of Accounts for Municipal Lighting Plants" as pre- scribed by the Department of Public Utilities of Massachusetts.

REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:
I submit my report as Moth Superintendent for 1962.
Cuttings from two hundred and eighty-six elms were cultured by the Shade Tree Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts. Two hundred and fifty-three trees were certified having Dutch Elm Disease. Three of these trees were on State property and they will remove them. Twenty-four were on town property, roadside, parks, cemeteries, etc. These trees have been removed and burned. The remaining two hundred and twenty-six were on private property. All but fourteen of these trees have been removed and burned, these will be removed as soon as possi- ble.
The usual dormant spray for the control of the Elm Bark beetle was applied by helicopter.
There were eighty-one elms on private property left from 1961. Seventy-nine of these trees were removed and burned before the April 1 deadline. We were unable to obtain a release from the owner of the last two trees.
"Seven", a comparatively new insecticide was used in our leaf- eating insect spray program, replacing D.D.T. This material controls Leaf Miners as well as other leaf eating insects and is safer to use as it is non-toxic to humans, birds and warm blooded animals.
I take this opportunity to thank the Board of Selectmen, the men of this department and all others who assisted me in the past year.
Respectfully submitted. MAURICE H. DONEGAN, Moth Superintendent
REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS
To The Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit my report as Inspector of Animals for the year January 1, 1962 to January 1, 1963.
One hundred and seven dogs were put in quarantine this year for biting or scratching people, an increase of forty percent over last year. The head of one dog was sent to the Wasserman Laboratory for Rabies examination: however, a subsequent report was negative.
The annual inspection of all barns and sheds housing livestock, and the livestock within the town was conducted as per request of the Division of Livestock Disease Control, disclosing there to be 20 cows, 12 horses, 4 goats and 18 sheep.
No contagious infectious diseases were noted.
Respectfully submitted, GARDINER A. LESTER, DVM Inspector of Animals

ONE HUNDRED EIGHTH REPORT OF THE FIRE CHIEF REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
AND THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE ALARM
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen:
The report of the Fire Chief, Forest Warden and Superintendent of Fire Alarm for the year 1962 is herewith submitted.

APPARATUS. Located at the Central Station are: Ladder 1, a 65 ft. Jr. Aerial Ladder Truck; Engine 3, a 1,000 gal. per min. Pumping Engine; Engine 2, a 1,000 gal. Pumping Engine; Engine 9, a one ton panel body truck, and the Chief's and Deputy's cars.
At Station 2, Woburn Street: Engine 1, a 1,000 gal. Pumping Engine in reserve; Engine 4, a 500 gal. per min. Pump; Engine 5, a 400 gal. Engine, manned by the Auxiliary Fire Service; Engine 6, a 750 gal. Engine; Engine 8, a 500 gal. trailer pump; Fire Alarm truck with 32 ft. ladder; and the Civil Defense Rescue Truck.
SERVICE RECORD. During the year the department responded to 143 bell alarms, 12 of which were false. There were: 343 Still and Tele- phone alarms, 1 of which was false; 518 Service calls. There were 2 second alarms and 2 third alarms. Reading apparatus responded to other communities 38 times. Calls to Fires in Dwellings 39, Grass and Brush 91, Dumps 20, Automobile 39, and 26 calls for resuscitator and oxygen use. Tests made for gas, 18. Assisting persons locked out, or in, 23.

The fire loss for 1962 as reported to date on property endangered (valuation $602,650.50) is $231,149.28, an increase of $221,367.51 from 1961. Insurance paid for fire loss $76,049.22.
FIRE PREVENTION. Fire inspections have been made of all churches, business and manufacturing properties. Quarterly inspec- tions, as required by law, have been made of nursing homes, rest homes, schools and kindergartens. There are over 400 properties being covered by these inspections. Extra inspections have been made whenever conditions required and also to investigate complaints.
TRAINING. Drills for all personnel have been continued through the year. Two men have attended Oil Burner School and two men have attended a fire alarm repair school conducted by the Gamewell Com- pany. The department has been represented at meetings of the Fire Department Drill Masters Association, the Fire Department Mechanics Association and the Municial Signal Engineers Association.
179
FIRE ALARM. Seven old and obsolete boxes have been replaced. Two nursing homes have purchased master boxes which have been in- stalled at these homes. Work of installing a fire detecting system in the Community Center has been continued. Several pieces of old fire alarm cable have been replaced.
RECOMMENDATIONS. That the overhead doors at the Central Fire Station be replaced. That consideration be given to replacing Ladder 1 in 1964. That the replacing of old fire alarm boxes be continued. That as the present system of notifying off duty personnel and call men of fires has become ineffective, consideration be given to the installation of home monitor radios or a telephone group alerting system.
In closing I wish to express my appreciation to The Board of Selectmen and other Town officers and Departments for their co-opera- tion and assistance during the year. Also to the officers and men of the Department for their fine response and good work during the fires and other emergencies of the past year - and to the Auxiliary for their assistance at fires and their providing coverage during training periods.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES S. PERRY, Chief of the Fire Department Forest Warden and Superintendent of Fire Alarm

Forest Glen
At this location the development program progressed as follows: Installation of 899 ft. of 12" reinforced concrete drain pipe.
Construction of 5 catch basins and 7 manholes.
Laying and graveling of 140 ft. of 18 ft. width avenues.
Brush clearing and removal of trees and stumps from approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of land.
Received about 100 cubic yards of fill.
Installation of 120 ft. of slope (Type A) curbing.
Loaming and seeding of 4,000 sq. ft. of lot area.
Laying out of 20 two grave lots.
Charles Street
On this new cemetery site further clearing of trees and brush was done and some fill has been received from the Department of Public Works. Some preliminary plans for the area has been made but they are still in the discussion stage.
The Superintendent, Mr. Harold F. Davis, retired on October 23rd. His great qualifications and dedicated service will be missed in this position. To fill the vacancy, Mr. J. Henry Vik was appointed on Octo- ber 29th, 1962.
In December, Mr. Laurence A. Partelow resigned from the Board. At a joint meeting of The Board of Cemetery Trustees and The Board of Selectmen held on December 17th, it was unaminously voted to appoint the former Cemetery Superintendent, Mr. Harold F. Davis, to fill the unexpired term until the next election.
I wish to express appreciation for the assistance of various de- partments and personnel in the town's employ. Their help has been of great value.
Respectively submitted

ANNUAL REPORT of THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS of The Town of Reading, Massachusetts
for the year ended December 31, 1962
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Io the Citizens of Reading:
The Board of Public Works herewith submits its annual report for 1962.
On March 12, 1962, the Board organized with Sydney M. Hodson, Jr. as Chairman and William H. Watt as Secretary.
Regular meetings of the Board were held on Monday evenings plus a few extra meetings when necessary.
Acting as the Board of Survey, hearings were held to consider proposed developments. Rules of the Board were reviewed in the light of actual experience and changes made where it was deemed advisable.
Approved programs of departmental work of various natures have been prosecuted as laid out. Results have been satisfactory. Changes have been made where it was shown to be necessary and advisable.
Sewer construction was continued according to an established ten- tative program. Steady construction over the past few years has resulted in the elimination of many sanitary problems. However, much remains to be done and the Board feels that a greater effort should be expended on this problem. It will consequently propose to the Town a somewhat larger annual appropriation.
Construction of the new Water Treatment plant was continued but not completed. Progress has been slow and the Board is particularly dis- appointed that the plant is not now in full operation. Much time and effort was given to this project but results have not been satisfactory.
Further improvements to the water system will be proposed in 1963 as a result of a detailed study by Department Engineers. The needed improvements can be financed only through a bond issue and an accom- panying increase in water rates. This Board will submit a proposal relating to these improvements to the Town Meeting in 1963.
The system of merit increases initiated in 1962 works reasonably well when applied to present employees. It does not, however, present any attraction to new employees since the accompanying salary limits at the present level are not competitive with private industry.
The many requests for various type services received by the Board are studied, evaluated and developed into workable programs which the Board feels are in the best interests of the Town. Reference is made to the report of the Superintendent for details of programing.
Again, the Board wishes to extend its thanks to the many Town Boards and Committees, to the Department employees, and to the gen- eral public for the cooperation and assistance received.
Respectfully submitted, SYDNEY M. HODSON, JR., Chairman WILLIAM H. WATT, Secretary FLOYD E. BROWN DONALD E. FLORENCE FRED C. KENNEY, JR.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the Board of Public Works:
Gentlemen:
As required by Section 4, Chapter 118 of the Acts authorizing the Town of Reading to establish a Board of Public Works, I respectfully submit for your consideration the forty-second annual report of the Department of Public Works and a short resume of the work performed during the year 1962 with recommendations for the future.
GENERAL
Residential construction continues at a moderate pace. As a result, the Board continuously receives requests for various services. Programs have been established in the various divisions of the Department and steady progress is being made in many ways. Some work has been let out to contract but most work is being done by Department employees.
Progress continues on modernizing the various functions of the De- partment. Much has been done but much remains to be done.
BOARD OF SURVEY
The members of the Board of Public Works are ex-officio members of the Board of Survey. Acting as the Board of Survey, several hearings were held for the consideration of individual street layouts and for developments including several streets. Conferences were held with developers, contractors and affected property owners.
Estimates were prepared and performance bonds secured for proper construction as required.
A large number of proposed lot plans were examined and endorsed for recording. In many cases, for various reasons it was not possible to endorse the proposals.
Engineering Division
During the year all positions were filled on a regular basis. This division is now operating well. The division has a nucleus of good employees. A realistic use and expansion of this division would bring real efficiency and economy in many areas of Town Government.
Water Division
Expansion of existing facilities continued in 1962. Work on the new treatment plant was continued and it now is nearing completion. Small sized mains were replaced by larger mains in several locations.
Residential construction remained at a moderate level. A total of 7,686 lineal feet of water main was installed. A total of 68 new water services were installed and 51 old services were replaced.
New water meters were installed in 69 locations, 1,059 meters were removed, tested and reset, or if required, junked and new meters set.
185
Pumping Stations and Filter Plant
Rainfall in 1962 was near normal, and problems of water supply were not serious during the year.
A total of 609,073,900 gallons of water was delivered to the distribu- tion system in 1962. The average daily consumption was 1,668,696 gallons. The highest single daily consumption was 3,369,700 gallons on July 8, 1962. The highest seven-day consumption for the period July 5 to July 11. 1962 was 18,216,200 gallons.
Mechanical failures at all five water pumping stations were of a minor nature. Power failures were experienced during inclement weather from ice storms and lightning storms, but were quickly corrected.
Well Fields
Adequate rainfall and normal daily pumpage at Hundred Acre well field was experienced in 1962.
The tubular wells were cleaned, inspected and repaired in the early summer months, and wells showing high mineral content were shut off.
