REPORT OF THE W.P.A. SPONSOR'S AGENT


Board of Selectmen, Wilmington, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


I herewith submit my annual report as Sponsor's Agent, covering W. P. A. projects operated during the year 1938.


Check Validity of Real Estate Assessments


The above project was sponsored by the Board of Assessors. The validity of approximately 1500 real estate assessments were checked as well as correcting errors where found.


The workers on this project have furnished the Board of Assessors a condensed description, in legal form, of each parcel of land assessed.


Sewing Project


This project was sponsored by the Board of Public Welfare and has been operating continuously since the Civil Works Administration.


The number of workers at the present time is very small. However, the following articles were made during the year 1938:

Total


4911


12,208 yards of materials were used in the making of these gar -. ments, including cotton tweed, khaki twill, broadcloth, outing flannel, prints, muslin and voile.


Rehabilitation Project


This work was very necessary as a result of the September hurri- cane. For a week about sixty of our W. P. A. men were sent out to clear the streets of fallen trees and to take down trees leaning across public highways, making travel very hazardous


A project was then sponsored by the State of Massachusetts and Board of Selectmen, and supervised by the Superintendent of High- ways, to complete the work already started. A small crew of men were assigned to this project to complete the removal of logs, stumps and brush from along the highways and sidewalks.


Wages for the above work was paid by the Federal Government.


Moth Control Project


This project was sponsored by the Board of Selectmen and super- vised by the Moth Superintendent. Work completed during a seven months period includes 330 acres of creosoting, 123 acres of spraying and 29 acres of thinning as well as hauling away the brush.


There are certain sections of our Town which are infested very badly and are in much need of attention.


Wood Cutting (Wildwood Cemetery)


This project is sponsored by the Cemetery Department and super- vised by the Cemetery Superintendent.


The above project opened in January 1937 and continued through May 1937. At that time the work was discontinued due to a cut in our quota of workers. Work was resumed in November 1937 and continued through March 1938.


During the time the project operated 184 cords of wood were cut and 28 acres of land cleared of brush. The wood was then turned over to the Board of Public Welfare for relief purposes.


99


Wildwood Cemetery Survey


This project was sponsored by the Board of Cemetery Commissioners and supervised by the Cemetery Superintendent.


The work consisted of the compiling and recording of cemetery records, checking back through the Town records to try and designate the lot and grave numbers as far as possible of the bodies buried in the cemetery. To make a card index system showing information as to interments, lot owners, lot numbers, etc. To make a survey of the grounds of Wildwood Cemetery and maps locating the avenues, paths, lots, etc.


As the project is still operating the map is not completed as yet.


Wildwood Cemetery


During the year 1938 two projects were sponsored by the Board of Cemetery Commissioners and supervised by the Cemetery Superin- tendent.


The first project started in March and continued through July. Work accomplished includes the filling, loaming, seeding and rolling of 22,400 sq. ft. of land to be used for new burial lots, valued at $9000. Also the regrading of 37,000 sq. ft. of old lots, including the leveling to sub-grade, loaming, seeding and rolling. Removing 140 monuments, building new foundations and replacing same. Building drainage pond and 310 lin. ft. of new cemetery road, 16 ft. wide.


The second project opened in August and is still operating. As of December 31st the work accomplished was as follows. Regrading 19,900 sq. ft. of old cemetery lots. Building 43,500 sq. ft. of new cemetery lots, with an average depth of 5 ft. to be filled. When completed these new lots will be valued at $19,000.


Before this new section could be developed it was necessary to in- stall 271 ft. of 15" drain pipe and 140 ft. of 6" drain pipe.


Highway Project


These projects were sponsored by the Board of Selectmen and su- pervised by the Superintendent of Highways.


The first project called for the construction of 6' shoulders on both sides of portions of Andover Street, 2.3 miles, including the removal of boulders, ledges and approximately 30 trees and stumps. Also exca- vation of earth in many places to bring the shoulders down to grade, spreading gravel over certain sections, replace broken down stone walls and straighten same where necessary.


100


The second project consisted of the same items of work on Woburn Street, 4.2 miles. In addition 1019 lin. ft. of balance wall was built on this street with W. P. A. labor.


Fay Street, Taft Road and Brentwood Avenue were approved by the Board of Survey and accepted by the Town as public ways, so in crder to make the streets safe for travel we have accomplished the following work on these streets under a W. P. A. project. Removed the sub-soil and refill with gravel, removed rock and ledge and improved the road to a width of 25 ft. including shoulders.


As of December 31st I had in reserve three manual projects ap- proved by Washington, namely:


Improve Andover Street approved for $12,903.00


Improve Woburn Street approved for 19,191.00


Improve West St., Grove St., Aldrich Rd., and Grove Ave., approved for 13,148.00


The above projects are to be sponsored by the Board of Selectmen.


I am waiting Washingtons' approval of a project submitted by the Cemetery Department to develop 77,000 sq. ft. of cemetery lots.


We had our share of injuries to workers on W. P. A. projects. Some injuries were treated by the first-aid man on the job, while others re- quired the services of a doctor. During the year two men lost time with compensation.


The largest number of workers at any one time during the year was 126, representing 512 persons.


Number of workers as of December 31st, 113 representing 480 persons.


Number of persons waiting certification as of December 31st, 8 men and 5 women.


Largest payroll at any one time during the year, W/E August 31st-$1796.15.


W. P. A. Program earnings only through Dec. 1938 $62,134.00


Value of surplus Food Commodities distributed 13,536.99


Value of surplus Clothing distributed 5,577.70


$81,248.69


I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their co-operation and advice, also the other Town Departments under whose sponsorship projects have been operated.


Respectfully submitted,


OLIVE M. SHELDON


Sponsor's Agent.
