7 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN

Mr. Thomas Francis Linnehan was re-elected a member of the Board of Selectmen at the annual election on March 6, 1961. Mr. George K. Lewis was also elected to the Board of Selectmen for the year 1961 to March 1962 to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Archibald Cox.

Mr. Cox resigned as of March 6, 1961, to go to Washington as he was chosen by President Kennedy to be Solicitor General of the United States. We are proud of his appointment and certainly wish him the best.

The jury list was drawn as required by law. The list of jurors can be found in the Town Report. The Selectmen met regularly for their regular meetings on the first and third Mondays of every month. There were several daytime meetings other than the regular ones. This gave people an opportunity to see the Selectmen who would not possibly have a chance at the regular meetings.

Mr. Thomas Linnehan is the member of the Committee on Town Government which was established March 7, 1956.

Mr. George Lewis is the member on the Condemnation Committee. The Board, with the Trustees of the Allen Fund and the Board of Public Welfare, met and disbursed the income received from the Charitable Funds. Mr. Charles Jameson who served the Town of Wayland on the Finance Committee died during the year. We, as Selectmen, as well as all the citizens of Wayland, will miss his dedicated service. Mr. Carlisle D. Scotland died during the year. He was a member of the Welfare Board. The Town will miss his services on the Board and also as one of the Trustees of the Parmenter Health Center.

Once again the Board of Selectmen fulfilled the following duties:

1. Appointed Town Officials not elected by official ballot, such as Finance Committee, Executive Secretary, Policemen, Building and Wiring Inspector, Plumbing and Gas Inspector, Board of Appeals. 2. Issued licenses. 3. Approved bills incurred by other Town Departments. 4. Acted on complaints. 5. Passed on Betterments and Acceptances of Town roads. 6. Represented the Town at the State House, and had dealings with other towns. 7. Conferred with other Town Officials. 8. Contacted our State and Federal Representatives.

Once again we wish to thank all committees for their excellent efforts on behalf of the Town and all Towm Officials and Employees for their cooperation during the past year. THOMAS FRANCIS LINNEHAN, Chairman FRANK S. TARR, Clerk GEORGE K. LEWIS Board of Selectmen.

The Moderator advised the maker of this Motion (Amendment) that the article, as it appeared in the Warrant did not permit the Meeting to instruct or order how the Selectmen should appoint the members; such a motion would have to be limited to be merely advisory.

Accordingly the maker of this Motion rephrased his AMENDMENT: To increase the membership of the Conservation Commission to seven (7) members, and to suggest that one member be appointed from the Finance Committee, one from the Planning Board, and five (5) members at large.

Upon inquiry by Mrs. Marie L. Cutler, whether it would be possible to limit the authority of this commission to land that is not more than 116 feet above sea level;

The Moderator replied that such action would not be in order at this time, since all the Article called for was acceptance of the specified legislation and establishment of a Conservation Commission. He further pointed out, however, that such action could be taken at a later date by insertion of an appropriation in some later warrant, and placing a limitation upon such appropriation.

Upon Motion of Mr. Frank A. Smith, duly seconded for: “The Previous Question” (Main Motion, e.g.) ... it was Voted: First two votes were not unanimous. upon third vote: “Yes” 242, “No” 3

101 REPORT OF THE LIBRARY

During- 19()1 plans for rewiring the library and enclosing an end of the front balcony were carried out successfully. New fixtures in the stacks, balconies and ceiling of the main library have made a great improvement of the lighting in the areas involved. In the balcony an ornamental ironwork fence was installed, new shelving built in, and the older books in the collection were reshelved in the section, together with special collections of books by Wayland authors, and on Wayland history. Plans are now completed for repairing the badly cracked ceilings, and repainting the interior where needed.

The children’s room in the main library, first opened in late January of 1960, has proved its worth during the time that it has been in operation. Limited by the space available for books and people, it is used to capacity and beyond. The same is true of the Young People’s room and the general reference section. It is a truly challenging situation for the library staff.

For several months during the year we were handicapped by a dangerously small staff. At present we are in a position to cover emergencies and even to make plans for expanded services. The schedule for evening hours at the main library has been changed. We are now open from 7 to 9 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings. In the coming year we plan to develop work with the elementary grades. A start was made in early 1961 with a series of school visits by Miss Connor. Until the close of school in June, one first grade class from the Cochituate school visited the branch library each week for a story hour period. This program could not be resumed in September since we had no one on the staff to continue it.

Staff changes during the year included the return of Mrs. John Baldwin to the main library, Mrs. Edward J. Forbes to the Cochituate Branch in September, Miss Elizabeth Connor, who left the branch in August because of illness, back to the children’s room in late December.

The library is grateful to the many people who have given books and periodicals during the year, to the League of Women Voters for its gift of a subscription to the United Nations Review, and to the Garden Club for the flower arrangements and special decorations which have graced the library.

As in the past few years, National Electrical Week was observed in February by submitting an article to the local paper outlining its purpose, and pamphlets, “Electricity In Your Home” were distributed to the sixth grade students in the various elementary schools throughout the town, through the co-operation of Mr. Edward Anderson, Superin- tendent of Schools, and his associates. These pamphlets were, primarily, a guide for the students, with their parents, to check electrical defects in their homes; to be followed through, in the promotion of safety, by having repairs made if necessary. (It is the intent of the promoters of this program to ask the sixth grade students each year to co-operate in this type of safety program. Thereby, over a period of years, all students going through our school system will have the benefits of this electrical survey.)

Commercial, Farm, Municipal, etc., permits consisted of:

1. JANUARY: A commercial car-port permit was issued to Wayland Associates, Boston Post Road.

2. APRIL: A permit was issued to Hyman Shick for the construction of a cow barn on Moore Road. d. MAY A Nursing Home permit was issued to Louis Nathanson, on East Commonwealth Road, to accommodate fifty patients. This building was completed in December.

4. JUNE: Woodland Dairy was issued a permit to build a Coffee Shop at the intersection of Main and East Plain Streets.

5. JULY: A permit was issued to William L. Bolton and William Curley, Jr., for a retail store on the Boston Post Road. b. OCTOBER: A permit w^as issued in 1960, to Dominic Strazzulla, at 177 East Commonwealth Road, for a block of retail stores. The building was completed and in operation this year.

7. DECEMBER: The School Department was issued a permit for a ten room addition to the Claypit Hill School.

Several new' developments and roads were started this year, and are at various stages of construction, as follows

104 Forest Hills Road, extending from Old Connecticut Path East, by the Swiedler Building Corporation.

The turn-around at the end of Cole Road was extended to accommodate four more lots.

A development by Mr. Einar P. Robsham, relocating part of Oxbow Road, with the addition of one new street — Campbell Road.

Forty Acres Drive, extending from Cochituate Road, by William A. Rowe.

During the month of September, this department received many calls in regard to Blast Shelters. The Building Department has cooperated with the Civilian Defense Director, Mr. Francis Gallagher, in this matter, and numerous pamphlets are available at the Town Office Building, printed by the Federal Government, with information for the home-owner. However, some of these calls went beyond family shelters to community and municipal shelters. The Selectmen appointed a committee to advise on structural engineering of these larger shelters, also to observe what other communities are doing in this matter. The committee consists of Ronald D. Haggerty, Delvin E. Kendall and Edward G. Nagle.

This past year, eight new houses had Blast Shelters built while the basement walls were under construction. One such permit was issued to an existing house.

Three permits were issued in 1961, for the wiring of electrically heated homes. These were the first of this type issued in the town.

The Building Department took an active part on the Condemnation Committee and a detailed report of the work accomplished may be found elsewhere in the Town Report.

Sixty-one Zoning variances were prepared and ]n'esented to the Zoning Board of Appeals for decision.

During 1961, the Fire and Building Departments continued the inspection program which we started in 1957. The types of buildings which we inspected included schools, churches, auditoriums, rest homes, stores, taverns, and multiple family dwellings. The inspection consisted of structural strength of the buildings, electrical wiring systems, oil burning equipment, rubbish accumulation, exit signs, emergency lighting equipment, fire extinguishers, chimneys, storage of flammable liquids and paints, etc. After these inspection tours, letters were sent to property owners or the building committee concerned. Their cooperation has been greatly appreciated.

Fees collected from wiring and building permits and zoning applications during 1961, amounted to $3,978.50 and have been turned over to the Town Collector.

The Building Department takes this opportunity to thank the Town Officials and citizens who have helped in the affairs of this office in the past year.

Respectfully submitted,

105 REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS

The resignation of George K. Lewis as Commissioner was accepted with regret. The Board is soriy to lose the services of so able a man and will miss the energy and good nature that marked our association with him over the years. Mr. Laurence K. Cook was appointed to fill out the unexpired term.

1961 marked the first year that the Department has pumped an average of over 1,000,000 gallons per day. Per capita consumption has stayed below 100 gpd per person. New services dropped somewhat the past year, with only about 100 being added to the system. Watermain was added in several new developments and some additions in Town roads brought the increase to about two miles of pipe.

It becomes increasingly evident that more pumping facilities will have to be provided before too long and we are planning to speed the development of the new well site off Oxbow Road.

More shop and garage space is needed at our headquarters at Baldwin’s Pond. The money that we are asking to be transferred for a new building would provide this space. The main part of the new building would be garage space for trucks and tractor, releasing the old small garages for parts storage. Heated shop space would be included and would make room for repairs and shop work in inclement weather.

The prolonged cold weather of last February froze pipes that had been in the ground for years, showing the deepest penetration of frost the Department has ever experienced. All new pipes are being laid six inches to a foot deeper so that such rare spells of weather cannot cause so much inconvenience again.

We wish to thank the people of the Town for their cooperation and understanding during the two or three weeks that kept the men thawing pipes night and day. We also want to thank the other Town Depart- ments for the pleasant relations we have enjoyed over the years.

106 SIDEWALK COMMITTEE REPORT

In accordance with the vote under Article 2 at the Adjourned Annual Town Meeting held at the Wayland Senior High School on March 15, 1961 a committee was established to make a study and recommendations with respect to (1) a policy to be pursued by the Town with respect to the construction of sidewalks, (2) the priorities to be followed in connection with any construction recommended (3) the over-all cost which might be involved in any program and (4) the amount which should be recommended for expenditure annually therefor, and the Committeee be authorized to arrange with the Planning Board for engineering services as seemed necessary in connection with carrying out the initial stages of a program, such report with recommendations to be made at the next Town meeting. The committee was to consist of five members, one member of the Road Commissioners, one member of the School Committee, one member of the Planning Board, one member of the Finance Committee, each to be designated by his respective board or committee, and a fifth member at large to be appointed by the four so designated.

Several meetings and field trips were held by the Committee during which the many aspects concerned with sidewalk construction were dis- cussed and reviewed. The survey considered sidewalk construction and its apparent relation to accidents within the Town if any, the effect which might result in the busing of school children, priority locations for future sidewalk oonstruction, the role to be played by the Highway Department and possible regulations to be included in Subdivision Regulations.

As of the date of the survey there had been five (5) recorded accidents during 1961 in the Town involving pedestrians including one fatality. It was felt that in the four (4) non-fatal accidents the presence or lack of sidewalks at the accident site had no bearing on the accident. In the case of the fatality it was felt that a sidewalk in that particular area would not have had an effect due to the apparent nature of the accident; however, portions of Route 30 East, near where the accident occurred, are considered to be in a priority area for sidewalk construction. It was felt that sidewalks should be constructed within the two areas comprising Cochituate Center and Wayland Center because of the volume of pedestrian travel in these two areas.

It was generally understood by the Committee that pupils residing more than a mile from the school attended are provided transportation and that those pupils who must travel a dangerous route are offered transportation regardless of distance. There are several areas adjacent to school sites where additional sidewalks would allow pupils to walk safely to school which will save busing costs and allow these pupils to participate in after-school-hour activities without dependence upon school bus schedules.

Consideration has been given to the savings that may result if school children walk instead of being bused. It has been estimated that for every 50 children that are enabled to walk because of the construction of sidewalks one bus route can be eliminated at a savings of approximately $520 a year. It should be realized that this is a maximum figure that cannot always be realized as it may not be possible to efficiently

107 fill the bus space vacated with other children. However, assuming this figure it can be seen that the capitalized value of this savings can be as much as $5200 and that if this were the only criterion it would be worthwhile to build $5200 worth of sidewalk if 50 children are thereby enabled to walk to school.

Several areas in Town should receive priority from the standpoint of scheduling of sidewalk construction in the following order: School sites, Cochituate and Wayland Centers and along the major traveled roads (Routes 30, 20, 27 and 126). As school sites are in general located in the vicinity of heavily populated areas, sidewalks here would serve the greatest number of persons and should be considered in the vicinity of Loker Street, Happy Hollow and Claypit Schools in that order. In the case of all three schools, major highways lie in the immediate vicinity of the school sites where sidewalks would afford safe walking areas for many pupils.

To date, sidewalk construction has been under the control and supervision of the Highway Department. It is felt that this responsibility should remain with this Department and that an annual amount of $5,000.00 per year should be included in the Highway Department budget over the next four years to allow for the construction of new sidewalks in the critical areas as outlined above.

Based on past contracts, the average cost to construct sidewalks, exclusive of engineering and land takings, has been approximately $3.50 per linear foot for paved sidewalks and $1.00 per linear foot for unpaved gravel sidewalks. An annual budget amount of $5,000.00 would permit completion of the first four items in the specific program given below within 4 years. In conjunction with this construction it is recommended that the Planning Board require Sub-developers to provide an area adjacent to road construction which will allow sidewalk construction in the critical areas (adjacent to the school sites or in heavily traveled areas).

PARK DEPARTMENT — ANNUAL REPORT 1961

The Board has continued to try to improve the twenty-five areas under its jurisdiction. The dam at the Mill Pond had to be replaced, to permit the Pond’s maximum use. Plans are in progress for the control of erosion at the Beach and the possible expansion of its area and facilities.

The Beach enjoyed the largest attendance in its history and, it is hoped, to provide the Town with an increasingly attractive facility.

The Commissioners wish to thank the residents of the Town and its officials for the support and cooperation it has received. The Commis- sioners wish also to record their thanks and gratitude for the constant hard work and attention to duty displayed by the personnel of the Department during the year.

REPORT OF WAYLAND PLANNING BOARD— 1961

During 1961 the Planning Board held regular meetings on the first and third Monday evenings at 8:00 P. M. George F. Bowers, Jr., was re-elected to a five year term in the annual Town Election.

Subdivision Control

In 1961 the Planning- Board approved the following new sub- divisions:

Siibdivider No. of New Lots Feet of New Roads

E. P. Robsham 20 Campbell Road 936 Oxbow Road 870 Reeves Hill Trust 10 Forest Hill Road 1,456 W. C. Richards 4 Extension of Cole Road 300 Wayland Bay Colony Assoc. 13 Holiday Road 1,190 Forty Acres Estate A. W. Rowe, Tr. 22 Forty Acres Drive 2,519 S. A. Cutler 15 Eliott Road 920 Heard Road 1,050 E. A. Phylis — Loker Manor 19 Extension of Aqueduct Road 825 Gregory Road 850

TOTAL 103 Lots 10,916 ft. of road

A comparison of subdivision activity follows, showing 1961 and the previous 6 years:

No. of New Lots Year Created Feet of New Roads

1955 187 15,000 1956 137 14,400 1957 96 11,200 1958 55 6,300 1959 57 5,300 1960 87 10,300 1961 103 10,916

It should be noted that the increase in new lots created each year since 1958 continued in 1961. At the end of 1961 the board had knowledge of probable intent on the part of land owners to subdivide and create at least as many lots as were approved in 1961, although they may not all be created in 1962.

110 Therefore, Wayland is obviously attractive to outsiders to establish residence here. Although there is the potential for the establishment of approximately 2,500 new house lots more than now exist, we see some tendency already toward development of marginal land involving special construction of roads and house sites in order to meet Board of Health requirements for drainage and sewage disposal systems.

Sand Hill Development

Sand Hill, just west of the Town dump on Boston Post Road, offers the best potential area in town for limited commercial land use on a large scale. The board, in correspondence with Jack P. Ricciardi, Com- missioner of Public Works for the Commonwealth, has learned that any relocation of Route 20 by means of a by-pass around Wayland Center would undoubtedly affect development of Sand Hill to its maximum. Alternate Route 20 proposals are:

1. Using the present path of the road over Sand Hill, but probably lowering the road and hill considerably.

2. Relocating the road to the south of the railroad tracks.

Because of these alternatives ultimate maximum use of the area as limited commercial land cannot be planned until the by-pass question is resolved.

An early decision by the Commonwealth as to the final location of Route 20 would greatly assist the Town in changing the use of this land to broaden the tax base.

General Matters

Subdivision control and administration continue to require almost all of the time of the board. With the rate of residential development increasing, the question of engineering assistance to the board is increasingly important. The Road Commissioners and the Highway Superintendent contribute invaluable assistance to the Planning Board in evaluating subdivision plans and in policing road and drainage construction rules. The prime responsibility of these people however is maintenance of existing roads, and since the quantity of roads is increasing, we may be approaching the time for a Town Engineer to be employed for engineering and administration assistance for many boards and specifically to advise the Planning Board and handle administrative matters of subdivision control.

In addition to above duties L. W. Bertelsen serves on the Sidewalk Committee, E. F. Thorburn serves on the School Building Committee, A. H. Morgan serves on the Conservation Commission, R. H. Charnock seiwes on the Community Advisory Council of the Massachusetts Mass Transportation Commission, Katherine Hodges is our representative to the Framingham Area Association of Planning Boards, and G. F. Bowers, Jr. serves on the Pelham Island Road Study Committee.

We applaud the work and recent statements of the newly appointed Conservation Commission concerning the possible depletion of the natural assets of the Town and hope that their efforts will result in a plan of conservation for the Town and that as a result the Town or other conservation organizations might acquire land in the future for the preservation of water supply, wooded areas, and wet lands.

Ill In 1961 the board completed engineering* work for the layout by the Selectmen of Lincoln and Draper roads. These are presently very attractive although for the most part narrow, unimproved, and without drainage. While the surrounding land is relatively undeveloped, the Town should recognize that in time these roads will have to be rebuilt to take heavier traffic and that the establishment of side lines should be done now. No road construction by the Town should be undertaken until development makes it necessary.

We commend the continued interest of individuals and groups in the Town’s affairs such as the Wayland Civic Association and the League of Women Voters, whose representatives attend meetings of Town Boards and Committees to keep infoi*med on local government.

Past and Present Planning

Responsibility for planning lies not only with the Planning Board but also with many other boards and committees which are concerned with phases of the development and growth of the town. Since World War II, the forethought in advanced planning of these boards and committees has well prepared the town to meet the onslaught of its high population growth. This action has been well received by the town. Perhaps the most serious and continuing growth problem has been with schools; for fourteen years the town has been well guided by the recommendations of the School Committee and School Building Commit- tee. The quality of education is high, and the expansion of facilities has been orderly.

Through the foresight of the Finance Committee, the town is in a position where it is now able to expand schools, has built the town office building, and purchased fire equipment and maintenance vehicles without borrowing.

The committee to study town government has guided the town in governmental operations and organization changes that have resulted in more efficient government for the future. These include establishing the position of executive secretary and fire chief, in making use of Board of Health nurses for the public schools, and of a plan for equipment purchase and operations for the Fire Department on an economical basis.

The Board of Water Commissioners has provided a growing water distribution plant, including building of a stand pipe which should serve adequately for many years, without outside financing.

The successful results coming from the work of these other boards indicate that their work should be continued in those areas of planning in which they are particularly well informed. The Planning Board has operated in areas lying outside the sphere of responsibility of other boards, in matters largely concerned with zoning, sub-division control, and other measures to control and regulate land use and rate of growth. Within the last decade, it has recommended revision of the zoning by-laws in matters of residential zoning, zoning for business and limited commercial use and revision of business zoning regulations, the establishment of site plan approval and the creation of the flood plain district. All of these measures are aimed at preserving the natural assets of Wayland, in maintaining its essential rural character (but with a recognition that growth is inevitable), and in encouraging the develop-

112 ment of all areas in a manner making optimum efficient and compatible use of all areas. On occasion, the Planning Board has recommended expansion of commercial activities, in all cases with the view that the proposal offered better utilization of the land, more income at less expense, and a greater asset to the town than with any other use.

For some time the Planning Board has been working toward establishing a master plan for the town and has received recommendations for that purpose in the report of James L. Harris, a planning consultant. The following topics have been included in the Harris report:

1. General summary of Proposals

2. Population Projections

3. Fiscal Analysis

4. School Enrollments and Facilities

5. Recreation and Open Land Preservation

6. Transportation, Streets and Highways, Parking Facilities

7. Municipal Services and Utilities

8. Improvement of Certain Residential Areas — Urban Renewal

9. Land Use in the Future 10. Zoning and Subdivision Control 11. Capital Budgeting

Some of these topics will be reflected in the master plan as well as our own studies and recommendations. Other of the Harris recommendations are in the nature of analysis of existing and past conditions which have served their purpose in having provided for such town action as the establishment of Recreation Advisory Committee and the creation of the Conservation Commission, in bringing about such action as flood plain zoning and revision of Planning Board subdivision regulations, and in setting the stage for the Planning Board’s recommendation to create the Redevelopment Authority.

Preparing for the future is a many sided responsibility and the concern of many agencies. The growth of Wayland has been orderly and within its financial ability. We look forward to continued responsible action by these boards in their respective areas of responsibility, and offer them assistance when necessary. Any plan, whether a master plan or a plan of a specific topic, needs continued evaluation, and the attention of the Town and its Boards and Committees to all planning is continually required.

113 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF TRUST FUNDS

During the year 1961, there were no additions or deletions to the Trust Funds of the Town. No issues matured or were called and the extra income accumulated during the year was placed in the Savings Bank until such time as sufficient funds are available for advantageous reinvestment of same. A list of the Trust Funds and their present investment status will be found in the Report of the Town Treasurer.

John G. Harder was elected by the town to succeed J. Sidney Stone (retired) and his connection in the Investment Banking Field should be of inestimable value to the Trustees in administering these Funds.

Respectfully submitted,

ALLAN R. FINLAY, JOHN G. HARDER, THOMAS B. GANNETT, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE

The year 1961 has brought about several major changes in personnel and categories. J. Sidney Stone, a member of the Board for over 20 years, decided that he did not care to continue. This vacancy was filled at the town election in March. Mr. Dominic L. Bartholomew of Sherman Bridge Road was elected to the three year term vacated by Mr. Stone.

On February 28, 1961, Mrs. Helen Tufts, our director of public assistance, i^etired after more than 20 years of faithful service to the towm. Mrs. Tufts had a humane and sincere understanding of problems that confronted many of our townspeople. Giving unstintingly of her time far and above what the position called for, the Board wishes to commend Helen Tufts for having done such. Wishing her a happy retirement.

Mrs. James Warwick stepped up from Social Worker to the position vacated by Mrs. Tufts.

On October 4, 1961, the untimely death of Carlisle D. Scotland, a member of this Board for over 20 years, occurred. His passing on has left a void that will be hard to fill. Giving advice, helping unfortunate people to better understand their problems, always willing to give just a little bit more, never turning down any extra assignments, and there were many; may we say our loss is the Lord’s gain.

Attached is the statistical report of the Board.

Respectfully submitted,

RONALD H. WOOD, Chairman ^CARLISLE D. SCOTLAND DOMINIC L. BARTHOLOMEW

Mosquito Control in Wayland in 1961

Mosquito control work commenced in mid-winter with DDT dusting of frozen swamplands to prevent development of the spring brood of mosquitoes. A few remaining areas were treated in April or May after mosquito larvae appeared. The main Sudbury River Meadows were not treated because mosquito breeding was too sparce.

As usual there was considerable migration from outside sources and these mosquitoes were partially reduced by night-time fogging and aerial spraying.

From June through September the usual Culex (House Mosquito) inspection and spraying was carried out. Helicopter service could not be obtained for the Mansonia perturbans mosquito brood in June and July in Mill Pond swamp, but repeated night-time fogging helped a little.

116 Drainage work was done near Lake St. and ditches cleared in most other places.

SANITARY ENGINEER'S REPORT

Board of Health Wayland, Massachusetts

Gentlemen :

The following is a report of my activities for your Board for the calendar year 1961.

Sewage Disposal

During the calendar year, 1961, one hundred and twenty-two permits were issued by your Board for the construction or alteration of sewage disposal systems, after the necessary preliminary inspections and recommendations were made to your Board. A total of more than six hundred (600) inspections were made to insure effective design and construction of these systems . . . and to advise builders and home owners concerning the proper installation and operation of these systems.

Restaurant Sanitation

During the calendar year 1961, inspections were made at eating places where knovn sanitary problems existed, with cori’ective action

117 indicated to the owners where necessary. It is expected that the practice of making- unannounced inspections will be stepped up during the coming year to provide for more effective control of these eating establishments.

Milk Inspections

A total of one hundred and thirty (130) samples of milk and cream were collected during the year from the dairies and other licensed outlets selling milk and cream in Wayland . . . and examined in the laboratory. Tests were made for total bacterial count, coliform bacteria, and phosphatase . . . with results reported to the dairies concerned as required by law. It is expected that the program of milk inspections will be amplified during 1962 to provide for better control along these lines.

Respectfully submitted,

THOMAS J. RINALDO.

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SERVICE

Public Health Nurses’ Aides Pearl McEwan — Junior High School Helen Osborn — Senior High School

In an attempt to provide better public health nursing service for Wayland, the public health nursing staff has been involved in an on-going evaluation of the present program. It is hoped, that with each year, progress will be consistent with the sound growth of the community, and with the objectives of all those who are concerned with providing Wayland residents with an effective health program.

To implement such a program, it is necessary to have well qualified public health nurses. All of the nurses presently employed by the Board of Health and the Parmenter Health Center, Inc. have a baccalaureate degree from an approved university program. Two nurses have a master’s degree, one in public health nursing and one in nursing education. All of the nurses have had at least two years of experience in public health nursing, as well as experience in other aspects of nursing. Hopefully, we shall continue to attract well qualified personnel, by virtue of the varied and challenging nursing program within the town, and by realistic and progressive personnel policies.

Besides participating in the usual activities of the agency such as school health, care of the sick, well child conferences, communicable

118 disease control, and maternal and child health — the nurses participated in many other activities this past year.

All of the nurses participated in the diabetes detection progr*am, preschool vision testing program, chest x-ray program and the tuberculin testing program.

Some of the nurses also served on the various professional committees, such as, the nursing committee of the Massachusetts Heart Asso- ciation, committees of the Massachusetts Public Health Association, and the nursing committee of the Greater Framingham Mental Health Association.

The nurses were also able to attend various professional and educational activities. One nurse attended a one week institute on Disaster Nursing for Instructors, and it is hoped that we will be able to offer such a course for the nurses living in the community as part of the over all Civil Defense Program for next year.

The nurses continue to participate in conferences with other allied professional groups concerned with the well being of each individual in the community.

This past year a student from the Boston University School of Nursing obtained her two month field experience in public health nursing with the Wayland Public Health Nursing Service. We are looking forward to future students and we will strive to provide an enriching and worthwhile educational experience for them.

The nursing staff firmly believes that the generalized program, where one nursing service provides all the public health nursing seiwice to the community, is the most effective and certainly the most rewarding kind of public health nursing program. However, we are aware that in such a program we must be constantly involved in establishing priorities according to the total nursing needs of the community. Inherent in this is the necessity for continuing appraisal and interpretation of the nursing needs.

Conferences in behalf of students continue to increase. During- the last school year the nurses had 373 conferences with teachers, 160 with principals, 70 with students at school, 44 with parents at school and 73 with guidance personnel. Besides the primary goal of such conferences, that of helping to understand and solve the individual students health problems, the conferences have served to bring about a greater understanding and appreciation of each other’s roles as they relate to the welfare of the student and his family.

Vision and Hearing Screening Programs

Of the 2,573 children who received the vision screening test, 170 failed and of these 118 were seen by an eye specialist. Of the 52 who were not seen by eye specialist last year only 12 had never been seen for vision difficulty. This past fall we were fortunate to obtain a new vision testing machine (provided by the school department) which will greatly facilitate the program.

Last spring a preschool screening program was conducted by Dr. Roswell Gallagher, Chief, The Adolescent Unit, Children’s Hospital Medical Center in collaboration with Dr. Henry Allen and Dr. Albert Sloane of the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. The purpose of this project was to determine the reliability of various screening tests employed for preschool children to reveal visual defects.

Of the 2,583 students who were screened for hearing acuity, 74 were referred on for further follow up. 43 students were seen by a physician and of the 31 who did not see a physician last year only 10 had never been seen for hearing difficulty during their entire school career. This fall the Board of Health purchased another audiometei-. This too will help to expedite the screening in the future. Physical Examination Program

One thousand and ninety-one children had a routine required physical examination last school year. Of this number 756 or 69 per cent were examined by their family physicians and only 31 per cent were examined by the school physician. It is hoped that we will continue to increase the per cent of private physical examinations as it is the family physician who is best able to appraise the total health of his patients. Thus, by having less demands for school physicals, the school physician will be able to give more comprehensive examinations and

120 health guidance to those students who are unable to have an examination by a private physician. Immunization Program

Ninety-five children in grades one through five received diphtheria- tetanus boosters by the school physician. Plans are underway to provide this program for the junior and senior high school students.

Health Room Activities

The public health nurses aides have continued to render essential services to the school health program. The public health nurse was therefore able to spend more of her time in family health service, and health education projects within the schools.

Of the 2,265 visits to the Junior High School health room, 669 were for first aid and 807 were for illness. Other visits were made to the health room for the purpose of arranging for appointments with the public health nurse, or for consultation and assistance with minor health problems.

There was a total of 1,364 visits to the Senior High School health room. 121 were for first aid and 558 for illness.

The difference in the number of visits between the junior high and the senior high school is felt to be due to the added maturity of the senior high school age group in dealing with minor health problems, and a greater awareness on their part of accident prevention.

Future Nurses Club

A Future Nurses Club was started in the Senior High School in the fall of 1961. The purpose of the club is to provide students with the opportunity to investigate the areas of preparation for, and practice in the nursing profession. This will be done by the use of films, speakers and field trips. Since nursing is one of the service professions, each club member is expected to perform some service to others in order to be eligible to wear the Future Nurse Club pin. Membership in the club requires only an interest in nursing, not a pledge to enter the nursing profession. To date nineteen students are members of this club.

DENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM

A total of 169 children were seen at the dental clinic during the last school year. These children made 439 visits and received a total of 861 treatments which included fillings, extractions, and cleanings.

Three hundred and eight first grade students received a dental examination by the school dentist. Of this number 130 were referred to their dentist for follow-up.

Because of the increasing demand for dental clinic appointments, the Board of Health mled last summer that in the future the dental

121 clinic will only be available to those families who are unable to assume the additional burden of private dental care. A request form must be completed by either parent and approved by the Agent of the Board of Health before appointments are scheduled. The dental clinic is available to preschool children as well as school age children.

A part time dental hygienist has been employed by the Board of Health this fall. She will be responsible for the dental examinations, cleanings and scheduling of appointments for the dentist. She will also conduct the dental screening program in the school and will serve as a dental health education resource person to the school.

Respectfully submitted,

JOSEPH FOURNIER, D.M.D., Board of Health Dentist.

REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT

In the year 1961 the trees in the town were sprayed for the control of the Elm Leaf and Bark Beetle.

The extra dormant spray applied early in the spring is proving to be a valuable preventative measure in the control of Dutch Elm Disease and will be applied again in 1962.

There were forty-two trees condemned from the samples taken this year and will have to be removed before April 1, 1962.

The roadsides of the town were sprayed for Poison Ivy control and we plan to spray again in 1962.

Respectfully submitted,

JOHN E. NELSON.

123 CONDEMNATION COMMITTEE

The Condemnation Committee was active throughout the year in enforcing the various local and state codes related to health and safety. This Committee, which is actually a coordinating body of town officials, is composed of one member from the Board of Selectmen, the Board of Health, and the Board of Public Welfare, and the Finance Com- mittee, the Fire Chief, the Building Inspector, and the Town Counsel. This year, the Committee was greatly assisted by the Health Agent, and Mr. Bowers attended one meeting to coordinate activities with the Highway Commissioners.

Basically, the task of the Committee is to remedy hazardous or unhealthy conditions throughout the Town by bringing such specific conditions to the attention of the property owner, and requiring them to be corrected within a stated period of time. If such conditions have not been taken care of at this point, certain other legal requirements must be met and the Town then moves to demolish the structure in question, or to take such other action as may be required — for example to fill in a dangerous abandoned well.

We are very pleased to report that in several cases where substandard dwellings were condemned, the owners were able to carry out the necessary repairs or replacements, and the dwellings brought up to standard. In at least one case, this was done with the aid of a bank loan. In general, property owners have been cooperative with Town Officials and agreements have been reached to everyone’s satisfaction.

In those cases where dwellings or other structures have been demolished, this work has been carried out by members of the Fire Department under the supervision of the Fire Chief. This saves the Town a very considerable expense in hiring a professional demolition company and also affords the firemen excellent training opportunity. One problem that the Committee continually faces, is that of filling in cellar holes that remain after demolition, which is the responsibility of the property owner. One system, worked out with the cooperation of the Highway Commissioners, is to have the holes filled by the Highway Department when they have disposable fill. The costs of demolition and of such filling (if any) are placed as a lien against the property in question. The Fire Chief and the Building Inspector, have made a special drive this year on abandoned poultry houses and barns, which are increasingly common in a town turning from an agriculture base to a I’esidential one. These old structures are extremely hazardous.

The Board of Health has been very active in enforcing health regulations and in some cases has alerted other Town Officials to substandard conditions. It has really been this sort of close team work that has made the Committee’s work effective. During 1961. 12 dwelling units were torn down, several of which belonged to the Town by virtue of earlier condemnation proceedings. In addition, a large number of barns, poultry houses, and other structures were demolished.

The Selectmen w^ould like to quote from a report of the Building Inspector to them on December 26, 1961, as follows; “I have been Building Inspector for over twenty years, and although substandard and dangerous property has been condemned from year to year, the results were not as outstanding as in this past year,”

124 REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMITTEE

In accordance with the vote of the Town at its March 1961 Meeting, the Selectmen on June 7, 1961 appointed to the Wayland Conseiwation Commission Mrs. S. A. Cutler and Messrs. C. A. Eckerline, L. C. Gladu, W. M. Young, as members at large; the Finance Committee, Planning Board and Water Board appointed Messrs. R. E. Ela, A. H. Morgan and F. A. Taylor to represent their respective agencies of Town Government, as directed by the Town.

The commission has met monthly since October and has been occupied in a preliminary study of its responsibilities and objectives. Its initial concern is to define Wayland’s present and potention future conservation problems. Its future plans include close cooperation with the Selectmen and all Town Boards and Committees, and preparation of a long-range plan designed to guard and enhance the Town’s natural resources. These resources can be listed under several major headings: Water: Sources of supply and prevention of flooding. Brooks, ponds and the river.

Woodlands (including shade trees) and Wildlife.

Recreation and “Open Space” values: Many recreational needs require natural outdoor space: an area suitable for camping by scout, campfire or other groups, for example. Similarly, major aesthetic and recreation values are inherent in the semi-rural nature of the Town — on which also depend important economic values which directly and indirectly affect real estate values and your tax rate.

It is the Commission’s hope to enlist the aid of everyone interested and willing to help in drawing up plans for the wise use of Way land’s natural resources, so that they will represent the overall feeling of the Town and protect the interest which every citizen has in maintaining his community as a pleasant place in which to live. Your Conservation Commission solicits your suggestions and help in achieving this result.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN

During the year 1961 the roadside trees in the entire towm were surveyed and the dangerous trees and limbs were removed.

The tree planting program continued and forty maple trees were set out.

I wish to thank the citizens that called me concerning the condition of a tree or a dangerous branch which they had noted so that it could receive attention as soon as possible.

Respectfully submitted,

JOHN E. NELSON.

125 REPORT OF MEMORIAL DAY COMMITTEE

A complete program of exercises were held on May 30, 1961 in both Wayland Village and Cochituate. Joint services were conducted at the North Cemeteiy and Lakeview Cemetery by the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars in the forenoon.

In the afternoon a parade formed at 1 P. M. and proceeded to the South Cemetery to decorate Veterans’ Graves and hold memorial services at the Charles H. Alward Lot.

At 2:30 P. M. the parade refoiTned and proceeded to St. Zepherin’s Cemetery to decorate and hold services at the Soldiers’ Lot.

The following organizations were participants in the program:

Charles H. Alward Post 133, American Legion Wayland Post, Veterans Foreign Wars Police Department Escort Fire Department Detail American Legion Firing Squad V. F. W. Drill Team Wayland High School Band Maynard Community Band Explorer Scouts Boy Scouts Girl Scouts Camp Fire Girls

It is our considered opinion that every effort be made by future Committees to hold the parades and exercises in the morning. We believe in so doing that more townspeople will participate in and attend the annual obseiwance of Memorial Day.

The Maynard Community Band will be unable to participate if the services are held in the afternoon. However, we have been advised that the High School Band will render music for the parades and at the cemeteries.

We recommend that the local Veteran Organizations continue to hold appropriate exercises at the cemeteries which are not visited by the parades.

REPORT OF THE ROAD COMMISSIONERS

1961 has been a year of study, experimentation and catching up for the Highway Department. At the end of 1960, there remained 14 incomplete construction projects for which funds had been appropriated, with an aggregate value of slightly over $40,000.00.

It was felt that a concerted effort should be made during 1961 to clean up these incomplete projects which had slowly built up over past years. Accordingly, a careful study was made of construction and maintenance schedules the result of which was a decision to have major drainage projects and sidewalk construction done by outside contractors. Contracts were advertised for bids in August and early November. This policy is expected to be continued for the next few years until the Department is in a position to handle all construction without expanding the equipment and forces to an extent that would be out of proportion to the other operations.

This change in policy has enabled the Department to complete or virtually complete a majority of the projects in the Department budget as follows:

1. BETTERMENTS All betterments started prior to 1961 were completed, including Wallace Road, Winter Street, Maiden Lane #1, Maiden Lane #2, and South and Center Streets. In addition the drainage and the first course of pavement was completed on the five (5) streets in the Maguire development for which betterments were voted in 1961. The second and final pavement course and side road seeding will be completed on these roads during the spring of 1962.

2. DRAINAGE 8 of the 11 drainage projects authorized during 1961 or carried over to 1961 were, for the most part, completed. Of these 4 were completed and 4 were 90% completed. Two of these. Train- ing Field and Moore Road, and Goodman Lane were advertised for bids; however, bids received exceeded the available funds. New bids will be sought during the end of January to enable the necessary additional funds to be sought in the 1962 budget. The remaining drainage project, School and Loker Streets, will proceed during 1962 in conjunction with the School Street reconstruction.

3. CHAPTER 90 WORK: A. Construction — The relocation of Commonwealth Road from the Natick Town Line to Oak Street and Rice Road was completed, although minor repair work on the seeded slopes probably will be necessary in the spring. B. Maintenance — Old Connecticut Path was resurfaced from the Framingham Town Line to Wallace Road. This project will be continued during 1962.

4. SHERMAN BRIDGE REPAIRS: The wood deck was replaced on Sherman Bridge as a joint 50-50 project with the Town of Sudbury. When the old deck was removed some of the main bridge timbers were discovered to be unsound and had to be replaced, with the result that the cost of the work was about double that of the initial estimate.

127 : :

5. SIDEWALKS The sidewalk along Old Connecticut Path from Maiden Lane to Davelin Road was completed with the exception of seeding the slopes and grass plots and the correction of an unsatis- factory slope condition, which will be done in the spring of 1962.

6. HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE Working in conjunction with the School Building Committee the entrance to the High School was widened, curbed and channelized to eliminate a hazardous condition.

7. RECONSTRUCTION OF EXISTING TOWN ROADS: A, Moore Road — This road has now been completed with a penetrated gravel surface with the exception of setting of bounds.

B. School Street — The first section started in I960 has been 1009c completed, by placing the final pavement course, paving driveway approaches and learning and seeding the side slopes. No other new work was started on this project during 1961. The Road Commissioners felt that during 1961 the back-log of old projects should be given first priority.

During 1962 the department should be able to start fresh and carry to completion the following projects by Department forces:

Chapter 90 — the first section of Old Connecticut Path starting at Route 20 by the Red Coach Grill to approximately Rice Road.

The remaining portion of School Street together with the Loker Street drainage outlet.

The remainder of the 1961 betterments and the 1962 betterment program if it is not too large.

In addition, it is intended to have the only major drainage projects not related to the above and the 1962 sidewalk construction performed by outside contractors on a bid basis.

Throughout all this the Department has performed and will continue to perform its principle operation of a maintenance organization. Included in this is clearing all catch basins and sweeping all paved streets at least twice a year, oiling town roads on a rotational basis using approximately 80,000 gallons of road oils annually, patching pot holes, grading gravel roads and the innumerable other small items necessary to maintain our roads in a safe and passable condition.

As a part of this an unusually heavy snow removal and ice control program w^as carried out on all towm roads, and the school drives and parking lots. Last but not least the dump was operated.

Concurrent with the above, all roadway and drainage construction performed by the various subdevelopers in towm was inspected, wdth the necessary reports forw’arded to the Planning Board.

Administratively it has been an active year.

Rules and regulations and Permit Forms governing private con- nections to storm sew^ers were prepared wdth the aid of the Town Counsel.

128 A draft of suggested revisions to certain portions of the subdivision regulations was prepared and turned over to the Planning Board. It is hoped that the draft to the final section affecting road construction will be completed early in 1962.

A complete study of personnel requirements of the Department was made in conjunction with the Personnel Board for presentation to the town at the 1962 Annual Town Meeting.

A complete study of the projected ten year equipment requirements of the Department was made and presented to the Finance Committee. We hope that a joint recommendation can be reached prior to the Annual Town Meeting.

For 8 months considerable red tape was untangled and all requirements met for application to the Federal Communications Commission for a license to operate the radio system. The license has been granted and the radios will be in operation early in 1962.

The Road Commissioners obtained bids for and purchased a new pickup truck, a new 4i/^-ton dump tnick, radios and two sand spreaders.

Bids were advertised and received on all materials, used by the Department, whose value equaled or exceeded $1,000.

The Road Commissioners again thank the Highway Superintendent and all department employees for their diligence and cooperation during the past year on all phases of our program, with our special thanks to Mr. Bowers for so effectively handling the snow removal and other Department operations during the superintendent’s absence last winter. We would also like to express our appreciation to the various Town Boards, Officials and Citizens for their cooperation on matters of mutual interest and concern to the town.

129 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TOWN GOVERNMENT — 1962

In its 1961 report this committee recommended that the terms of office for the Town Clerk, Collector and Treasurer be changed from one to three years. An article to accomplish this was inserted in the warrant for the 1961 Town Meeting and was adopted by the Town, We report as follows on the other items mentioned in our 1961 report. Relations Between the School Committee and

Other Town Departments

We are happy to report that during this past year all problems of overlapping jurisdiction and responsibility between the School and Health Departments have been ironed out. Likewise the problems of snow removal and maintenance of school grounds have been worked out satisfactorily between the School and Park Departments.

Police and Fire Communications

In our 1961 report, we said that a communications center, serving all departments, is a possible eventual solution but cannot be achieved for several years even if desirable. There have been no new developments during the past year, and the matter is, therefore, still in abeyance.

Public Safety Department

We continue of the opinion that it may in the future be advisable to combine the Fire and Police Departments under one chief. The matter is currently in abeyance.

Engineering Services

The Committee met in November with representatives of the Plan- ning Board, Assessors, Water Board, Highway Commissioners, Finance Committee and the Town Counsel. Each Department reported on the type and quantity of engineering services required, how these were now being obtained and whether, from their viewpoint, it would be desirable to establish the position of Town Engineer.

The meeting made clear that the problem is one of great com- plexity. The types of engineering services required vary greatly, and there are many considerations which argue both for and against the hiring of a Town Engineer, not only from the viewpoint of satisfactory and prompt service but also of cost. It is clear that a considerable amount of research and study must he devoted to this question, and it will be pursued in the coming year.

Public Works Department

The Committee studied this matter and decided that the consolidation of public works functions should be accomplished gradually. Con- solidation of the work of the Cemetery Board, Moth Superintendent and Tree Warden has already been achieved in fact by the appointment and election of the same man as superintendent of all three Departments. To assure the continuation of this desirable situation, we recommend the consolidation of all three functions under the jurisdiction of the Cemetery Board. This will require both legislation and a

130 vote of the Town Meeting. A bill has been introduced in the current session of the General Court to permit this action, and an article will be inserted in the warrant for the 1962 Town Meeting.

Enforcement of Town Lows

Preliminary studies indicate that the problem of properly enforcing all Town laws and regulations is a complex matter which will require considerable study, research, and consultation with many Town officials. This will be pursued further in the coming year.

Capital Budget

The Finance Committee has agreed that a capital budget is desirable. As a move in this direction, they will report to the Town this year the major capital expenditures which the Town faces in the next five years, and they hope to include a capital budget in next year’s report.

We wish to report on the following new matters:

Dote of Town Election

It was suggested to the Committee that consideration should be given to changing the date of the election of Town officers in relation to the date of the Annual Meeting. The thought behind this suggestion was that since new officers are elected only two days before the meeting, they have insufficient time to acquaint themselves with the questions coming before the meeting and that it would, therefore, be advisable for them to be elected either earlier or alternatively after the meeting. We determined that either change could be made and that there are towns which elect their officers shortly after the meeting and as much as two weeks ahead of the meeting. However, we believe that our present system is the best and do not recommend any change. We believe that even two weeks is insufficient time for a new officer to become adequately acquainted with the problems of his department, and it is far better for those who have been in office during the year to speak for the Department at the Town Meeting. This suggests the desirability of holding elections after the meeting. However, experience in other towns has shown that this results in electioneering at the meeting. Our system avoids both drawbacks. While the new officers are elected before the meeting, thus avoiding electioneering at Town Meeting, they do not take office until after the meeting (to provide for recounts) and, therefore, the old officers are still in office and should speak for their departments at Town Meeting. We do suggest, however, that all officers and citizens should know that the newly elected officers do not take office until after the meeting and that only the old officers should be expected to speak for their departments at the meeting.

Administrative Assistance for Planning Board

The Planning Board is composed of unpaid citizens whose primary function should be planning and policy making. However, the amount of detailed administrative and supervisory work involved in subdivision control is so great that while the Board devotes perhaps more hours to its work than any other unpaid board, it has not found time to do as much planning as it would like.

Also, the work load is more than should be expected of an unpaid board. The burden of this administrative work should be taken off

131 the shoulders of the Planning Board by providing for paid administrative assistance. This matter will receive our consideration during the coming year.

Therefore, the Committee recommends that it be continued to study the matters outlined above which require further study.

133 —

R. An additional plain, unmarked cruiser for investigative work

' and as a needed replacement when one of the regular cruisers is being repaired.

C. A 10% pay increase for all regular, full time police personnel.

I). The installation of traffic lights at the following junctions;

1. Routes 27 and 126

2. Memorial Square

The Auxiliary Police are to be commended for their help and assistance. Patrolman Charles M. Nelson is the new Chief of the Auxiliary Police.

Again my sincere appreciation is extended to the various department heads and the citizenry of the Town for their continued efforts and cooperation.

Respectfully submitted,

ERNEST H. DAMON, Chief of Police.

134 REPORT OF THE CHEF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT For the Year Ending December 31, 1961

A larms Answered — 1961

Number of Alarms for Fires: Residential Buildings 30 Non-Residential Buildings 22 Grass or Brush 82 All Other Fires (Motor Vehicles, Machinery, Rubbish, etc.) 31 Mutual Aid 3

Number of Alarms for Non-Fires:

Rescue, First Aid, Emergency Calls and Investigations .. 219 Mischievous and Malicious False Alarms 36

Smoke Scares, Honest Mistakes and Accidental Alarms .. 10

Total 433

Permits Issued

Fires in the Open Air 1,571 Installation or Alteration of Oil Burning Equipment 103 Installation of Liquified Petroleum Gas 17 Blasting 26

Although the total number of alarms is greater than any previous year it is interesting to note that there were 45 fewer fires than in the year 1960. Alarms for Rescue, First Aid, Emergencies and Investiga- tions on the other hand increased by 54.

There were no lives lost in fires in 1961, however, the total fire loss to property was $110,830.00. Three major fires involving non- residential buildings accounted for 93% of the total fire loss.

In November a tragic experiment with a “do-it-yourself” rocket resulted in the partial loss of the left hands of two Wayland boys.

On the brighter side many lives were saved during the year by the prompt action of citizens calling the Department for the resuscitator when this type of service was needed.

In the spring of 1961, the three nursing homes in Wayland installed fire detection systems which were connected to the municipal system in accordance with the fire protection ordinance passed in 1960 for this type of occupancy.

The Community Methodist Church on Main Street installed a complete fire detection system which was connected to the municipal system on May 31, 1961.

The alterations to the fire alarm control board at Station #2 recommended in the New England Fire Rating Association’s 1958 survey were completed early in 1961.

The municipal alarm system was extended by the Department on Rice Road, Sherman Bridge Road and Oxbow Road. The fire alarm systems as installed by subdivision contractors on Sedgemeadow Road, Aqueduct Road, Barney Hill Road, Brook Trail Road, White Pine Knoll Road, Country Corners Road, Anthony Road, White Road and Lundy Lane were inspected, tested, approved and tied into the municipal system. There are 175 fire alarm boxes in the system to date. This provides the major portion of the community with the most positive means of notifying the Department at the time of an emergency. We would like to take this opportunity to urge all citizens to acquaint themselves with the box location nearest their home.

Nine condemned buildings were razed during the year. Some of the buildings were first utilized as smoke houses for the training of personnel in the use of breathing apparatus and later for instruction in actual firefighting of interior fires. The training program for all personnel was conducted in two 10 week sessions. In addition, four (4) men attended a Red Cross First Aid Course given at the Parmenter Health Center in December.

As in recent years the Department conducted a continuous building- inspection program on a joint basis with the Building Department. This phase of fire prevention work is carried out not only to eliminate hazardous conditions but also to provide fire personnel the opportunity to be familiar with all buildings and the conditions inside and outside of them as they might relate to a fire problem involving the building. The types of buildings inspected included schools, churches, nursing- homes, public buildings, commercial and industrial properties and multiple family dwellings. The inspection of single family residences by the Department other than for oil burner or liquified petroleum gas installations is done only upon request of the homeowner.

As a new seiwice in 1961 fiuorescent markers for the homes of invalids were installed by members of the Department with the consent of the owners. The markers were placed on the frames of front doors and on bedroom windows as an aid in the rescue of individuals bed- ridden or otherwise confined to the home. These markers are available free of charge upon request.

All apparatus as listed above is in good condition. All maintenance and repairs of apparatus and equipment were performed in 1961 by fire personnel in the department shop. Gradual financial provisions are being made in the department’s budget under the long range plan for the purchase and replacement of apparatus. Engine #2 at Station

136 #1, now 25 years old, will be replaced under present plans in 1963. Engine #3 at Station #2 will follow in 1966 after 31 years of service.

There are presently forty (40) members in the Department. Six (6) men are full-time and thirty-four (34) are part-time and on call. During the past five years the Department has been seeking to provide on a gradual basis a minimum of five (5) men on duty at all times, three (3) men in Station #1 and two (2) men in Station #2. The final step in this long range plan is being recommended for 1962 in the form of a request for one (1) additional full time firefighter. Seven full-time men plus our night duty system and strong support from our call force can provide this growing community with efficient fire protection. The above system provides an annual saving of approximately $40,000.00 over a conventional arrangement of 17 full time men sup- ported by a call force. We are fully aware that our total complement of personnel falls far short of the recommendations of the New England Fire Rating Association. However, if the Town can make the recommended step in 1962, we can feel that we have made practical progress in improving our fire defenses considering the burden the problem of rapid growth places on our municipal government.

There is an increasing number of nursery schools and kindergartens throughout the community, with a high enrollment. These schools are being conducted in various types of frame buildings. Many of the buildings being utilized for this purpose do not afford the children adequate protection from fire. All of the Wayland Public Schools are protected4-by either a fire detection or sprinkler system which is connected to5-the municipal alarm system. The younger children in these nursery schools need similar protection. It must be noted that in view of the ages of the children and the types of buildings being used the need for increased safety requirements is even greater. Therefore, the Fire Department is recommending the adoption of a fire ordinance in the form of an amendment to the Building Code which would require that all buildings used for Kindergartens or Nursery Schools for ten (10) or more children be protected by an approved fire detection system and connected to the municipal fire alarm system.

I wish to extend my thanks and appreciation to the members of the department and to all persons who in any way have cooperated and assisted in the operation and development of this department.

FRANCIS J. HARTIN, Chief, Wayland Fire Department.

188 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS FOR THE YEAR 1961

January 19, 1962

The Board of Assessors regrets having to accept the resignation of its chairman B. Allen Benjamin. Mr. Benjamin has served the Town of Wayland in a number of capacities, culminating in over nine years with the Board of Assessors.

The new format of the triennial valuation book is for the increased usefulness of all the persons of the Town. The Board will welcome notice of any errors, omissions, or corrections. It is hoped that it will now be of value for a much longer time than the previous format.

The Board for the first time engaged the services of a professional appraiser for the specific purpose of obtaining area-wide experience in the value of unusual properties. It is hoped to widen the scope of this work to include commercial conforming and non-conforming properties.

The Board of Assessors is pleased to present the following statistics for information and analysis.

189 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE

In 1961, two major problems continued to be the source of considerable concern to the school administration and to the School Committee. Neither of these problems is new, but some comment on both of them seems appropriate at this time.

The first is our ability to attract and retain teachers whose experience and skills are adequate to handle the relatively heavy demands made on them in our school system. In Wayland, as in many other American communities whose residents are demanding more and more quality from their educational systems, program and curriculum are in a constant state of flux. The same old courses are not taught in the same old way year after year. These changes require many long- hours of preparation and study on the part of the teacher who must not only keep up with the changes, but who is expected to further improve and develop courses in his particular field and to relate them in a tangible way to other areas of study.

In order to obtain and keep teachers they want, other communities have evolved such devices as complicated merit pay systems, making olfers at levels above established salary schedules, and awarding double increments. All of these devices have serious drawbacks and usually create more problems than they solve. Thanks to the Fund for the Advancement of Education of the Ford Foundation, Wayland, three years ago, was able to implement the so-called status concept in the organization of its staff. This provides for 15% to 20% of the staff to act as subject leaders or department heads. Teachers who participate in this program are paid enough more above the regular pay schedule to be employed twelve months rather than ten, as in the case of non-status teachers. The extra time is devoted to curriculum planning and development. In a sense this program amounts to a merit plan, but it avoids the pitfall of paying some teachers more money without making additional demands on them. In other words, the Wayland teacher who is willing and able to provide leadership and make creative contributions to the program is rewarded, but in turn his skills are employed to a fuller extent and the school system derives worthwhile benefits for the extra expense.

The second problem facing your school committee is one that has been with us for over a decade and is one that will be with us for as many years as can now be foreseen. It is a simple problem of numbers that has several serious implications. One is that it has a severe impact on our annual budgets. A second is that without careful forward planning it could cause severe harm to our educational program. A third is that there is no way to control it. The fact is that Wayland, with a population approaching 11,000 has 2,800 or about 26% of its total population in the public schools. By contrast the average in the Commonwealth is only 16%. This disparity exists even though Wayland does not support public kindergartens as do most other communities. If we were to incorporate kindergartens in our system, we would have nearly 30% of our population in public school. There are several communities in the Commonwealth that have a per pupil cost higher than Wayland’s, but because of the large number of students in our system, a very large percentage of the town’s total budget is allocated to school purposes (about 65% in 1961). The number of students in our schools has been growing rapidly during the past decade and all forecasts

190 indicate that it will grow at only a slightly slower rate in the next ten years. In 1956, our enrollment was 1,498. Now it is 2,805. Next year it will be 3,125, and in five years, 4,400.

Since the future trend of teachers’ salaries cannot be predicted with accuracy, and since salaries constitute about 75% of the school budget, a definite dollar forecast of future budgets is unreliable but, because we will have an ever increasing number of students to teach (9% to 11% per year), it is safe to say that school budgets will continue to rise. We can only hope that the rate of increase will be slowed down somewhat.

In an effort to make more effective use of our teaching staff, we have employed clerks and interns. In 1962 we may try to make use of teacher aides in some elementary schools.

The School Committee wishes to express its deep gratitude for the untiring efforts on the part of all school employees, administrators, teachers, custodians, clerks and specialists. It especially wishes to thank other town boards whose activities interact with school department operations for their fine and continuing cooperation during the past year. It is most rewarding to members of the Committee to serve a town whose citizens continually lend their enthusiastic support to any effort to improve the quality of its school program.

191 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School Committee:

The long range building program originally proposed to the Town by Engelhardt, Engelhardt, and Leggett, educational consultants, in the Fall of 1955, has been used as a general guide by the School Site Com- mittee, the School Building Committee, and the School Committee. Since 1955 a number of significant developments have taken place in the community and in the schools making it desirable to deviate from some of the Engelhardt recommendations and to revise the long range school construction program to take into consideration the accelerated growth in the schools, which has been at a rate considerably greater than that projected in the Engelhardt report. Building changes have also become necessary because of recent advances in teaching technology.

Two major factors have accelerated the rate of pupil growth:

1. The Town’s growth has exceeded the growth anticipated in 1955.

2. The “holding” power of the schools, especially the high school, has had a substantial effect on the growth in the number of pupils.

By September 1960, there were 347 or 15.7% more pupils in the schools than were forecast by Engelhardt in 1955. In grades 9 through 12 there were 126 or 29.7% students in excess of 1955 estimates. The annual revision of enrollment projections made it possible for the School Committee and School Building Committee to anticipate the accelerated high school enrollment and they increased the recommended capacity of the high school from 500-600 students to 850 students. Present trends indicate approximately 850 students in grades 9 through 12 by Septem- ber 1964. (See Table I).

The “holding” power of the Wayland Public Schools, that is the trend away from attendance in non-public schools, is shown by examination of enrollments and census data. At the time of the Engelhardt report, in 1955, the 12th grade, then consisting of 47 students, had decreased from a seventh grade enrollment in 1950 of 72 students. As of 1961 the 12th grade of 115 students compares to a 1956 7th grade of 117 students. Since the Town was growing just as rapidly in 1950 to 1955 as it was from 1956 to 1961, the difference in “holding” power is evident. Present indications are that this trend will continue and that the increased “holding” power of the school must be taken into consideration in future estimates of building needs.

Table I is the enrollment data showing enrollment trends from 1956-1957 to 1961-1962, and a forecast of enrollment through 1971-1972. It should be pointed out that enrollment data forecasts tend to be more accurate in the first five years and less accurate after five years. Of real significance is the high rate of growth in the schools over the last several years ranging from a low of 7.1% increase in 1956-1957 to a high of 14.5% in 1957-1958 and leveling out to about 10% per year. This rate is expected to continue for the next two years at least.

A better way to illustrate growth is in terms of the number of classrooms needed. Using the desired optimum figure of 25 students to a room, the classroom needs of our schools have been expanding at the rate of approximately 10-12 classrooms a year for the last five years

192 and this rate of expansion will probably continue for at least the next five years. The anticipated enrollment increase for the 1962-1963 school year is 315 students. This means that the equivalent of a school of 12 rooms, the size of our Happy Hollow School, is needed to house each year’s growth and indicates the heavy strain which will be placed on the Town to continue a satisfactory school building program. This emphasizes the need for careful long range planning as to how to house increased numbers of students, and how to provide the kind of facilities which will be suitable for a school program geared to meet the demands of modern technolog>\ 1 H(J1 1' 1i 11 i1 ( < 11 i )t t

194 Table II contains census data relative to the number of children under 18 residing in the Town; the estimated population and the number of dwelling units.

TABLE II 1961 CENSUS DATA

Population 10,965 Dwelling Units 3,085 18 years and under 4,530 Number attending public and non-public schools 2,907

Number attending public schools 2,798 (1) Number attending non-public schools 142 (2) % attending non-public schools 5.7 (2) Number of children under school age 1,595 Number of children per dwelling 1.47 Number in public school per dwelling .94 Number pre-school children per dwelling .52 Number of children in grades 1-5 in school per dwelling .48

(1) Includes 3 students over 18 (2) Does not include private kindergartens

One of the significant factors shown in the school census is that for each dwelling in the Town there is approximately one-half of a child under school age. This is important in that the incoming first grade, each year, will far out-number the outgoing senior class for at least the next ten years. For example, the senior class for the 1961-1962 school year numbers 115 students whereas the incoming first grade, in the Fall of 1962, is expected to number 398 children. (See Table I).

Of special significance is the 1.47 children per dwelling unit of which .94 are attending public school. Only 5.7 percent of the children eligible to attend public school are presently attending non-public schools.

Until such time as the outgoing classes reach the size of the incoming classes (sometime after 1970), the need for additional classrooms will continue.

Let us look, therefore, at our long range school building program. The addition to the Claypit Hill School, to house approximately 240 pupils bringing the schooTs capacity to approximately 660 students, is a change from the basic policy of having more and smaller schools throughout the Town. One reason for this change is the change in teaching technology. In the last five years the instructional program has veered away from the self-contained classroom to groups of teachers working with groups of students. The evidence indicates that a far superior type of educational program is possible using this type of teaching. It is thus possible to have a far better program in a school of 600, where groups can be organized, than in a school of 200 to 300 students. It does seem, though, that with the addition of 240 pupils to the Claypit Hill School, the Claypit School will have reached its maximum. The proposed addition to the Loker School, for the Spring of

195 1962 to be ready for occupancy by September of 1963, will bring Loker School to approximately the same size as the Claypit Hill School.

Happy Hollow elementary school was originally designed for an addition of approximately 240 pupils or a total future enrollment of approximately 600 pupils. Cochituate elementary school is situated on a poor site with limited septic field area and is not adapted to expansion.

The school problem which should command the Town’s iimnediate attention is the housing for the middle grades in our system. A review of the data on pupil enrollment shows that by 1965 some definite arrangements must be made in order to handle the bulge in these grades. The problem may be solved in several ways. One solution would be to add rooms to the Senior High School and move grade 8 out of the Junior High School into the Senior High School. Another would be to add rooms to Happy Hollow School and/or build another elementary school and move the sixth grade from the Junior High School back into the elementary schools, leaving grades 7 and 8 in the Junior High School. Still another would be to build a second Junior High School and house grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 in two Junior High Schools. This would delay the expansion of the elementary schools as well as the Senior High School. The Junior High School study committee made up of members of the staff and lay people are studying the re-educational needs of this group and will give their recommendations as to how best to house them so that housing can be ready no later than the Fall of 1965.

At this time Wayland has no kindergarten program. The school system in Wayland is going to be hindered, and is now being hindered, by the lack of a program for five year olds. Approximately one-third of all six year olds, entering the Wayland schools, have had no preschool training of any kind.

Since as early as 1888, public kindergartens have existed in Massa- chusetts and for many years they have been considered essential elements in a good public school system. Few elementary schools being constructed today fail to include kindergartens and other special facilities for the pre-school child.

The purpose of kindergartens is to provide for the social integration of the child into the school group. The change from the seclusion and protective security of the home to the more formal and less protective atmosphere of the classroom requires a period of transition which cannot be provided in the first grade without detracting from the time needed for the exacting requirements of the educational program. It is during the early months of the first grade that study and work habits are often established for life. If the child is not socially adjusted, difficulties may develop which can have a lasting effect on the child. A second important function of the kindergarten program is the gradual development of work and study habits. After he has been assimilated into the group pattern, he enters into the learning program which will fit him for entrance into first grade.

Private kindergartens do not fill the need adequately because they do not serve all the children and because it is at best difficult for the private school kindergarten teacher and the public school first grade teacher to work together.

It is, therefore, apparent that a school system that does not include kindergartens as an integral part of its program is placed in

196 an inferior position when related to schools which do provide for the pre-school child.

There are usually several solutions to a given problem. At a given time any one of the solutions may be superior to another. In attempting to find possible solutions to Wayland’s school housing problems, every effort will be made to take all possible factors into consideration.

Three possible plans are presented here with estimates as to the costs of the program. These costs will naturally be subject to upward and downward movement of the cost of construction over the next ten years, but as of today, the estimates can be expected to be reasonably accurate.

Plan A is designed to rely as much as possible on additions and to delay the construction of any entirely new school as long as possible. (See Plan A attached).

Plan B delays the building of a Junior High School as long as possible but does require the construction of a new elementary school by 1965. (See Plan B attached).

Plan C is one which provides for kindergartens by 1964 and requires a Junior High School by 1965. This plan has obvious educational advantages over plans A and B but would require the expenditure of more money earlier than plans A and B. However, there would be little or no difference in the total cost of plans A, B, and C, over a ten year span if the cost of kindergarten space is included in plans A and B. (See Plan C attached).

1 r- V3 X X X X1 X X X X X 200 REPORT OF WAYLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS BUSINESS MANAGER

To the School Committee:

It is with pleasure that I herewith submit my second annual report as Business Manager since entering the School’s Administration in September, 1959.

Business management in the Way land Public Schools resolves itself around 5 major areas of responsibility.

1. Division of budget 2. Division of purchasing

3. Division of school buildings

4. Division of auxiliary services Transportation and school food services

5. Division of personnel and records

1. The budget is the general financial and educational plan for a stated period of time. (In Wayland this constitutes the calendar year which encompasses 2 school years). Much time is spent in the preparation of a school budget because of the necessity of translating the educational program into an estimate of expenditures. In a sense, planning a budget for an ensuing year begins at the moment the present budget is voted by the Town. The formal preparation of the budget, however, starts in September in order to be completed for the ensuing calendar year. After final approval of the school budget by the Town, the various budget allotments are transferred to the accounts of the school department.

Following transfer to the accounts of the school department, it is then the administration’s responsibility to expend the amounts appropriated as stated in the budget and to review periodically with the school committee how, when, and where these expenditures are taking place.

The budgetary process includes preparation, presentation, adoption, administration and, finally, appraisal by the School Committee.

Aiding in the budget control is a chart of accounts designed in accordance with the U. S. Department of Health, Welfare and Educa- tion on financial accounts for local and State school systems.

2. The purchasing of school supplies and equipment requires that all requests be submitted, for approval, to the Business Manager. A simplified procedure was established for ordering and receiving materials and equipment with a running inventory system for knowing when to order. No purchase order is issued unless it is ascertained that funds are available in the school budget for such a purchase. The four elementary schools, junior high and high schools are given an individual school budget to operate from. Purchase orders are typed at the respective schools and sent to the Business Office where they are signed and coding is checked. Copies of the purchase orders are sent back to the schools and are used for receipt of materials and verification is made for payment of invoices. After invoice payment is made, appropriate entry is made in expenditure ledgers. Procurement requires interviews with the many salesmen introducing and representing their

201 products to the schools. Competition is active on all purchasing: through request for quotations and bids so that the school department may receive the greatest savings.

3. Efficient operation and maintenance of school plants becomes more important each year as the result of the school building program. The school plants in Wayland today are valued at over six million dol- lars. Primary responsibility for care of buildings is given to the custodians employed by the school department. The function of the custodian in the Wayland schools varies from operating the heating })lant to cleaning floors and to maintaining safety.

Maintenance of the school buildings is established on a preventive maintenance schedule and an annual maintenance program. The maintenance schedule in Wayland naturally places emphasis on the older buildings. Because of the number of new buildings, the overall maintenance costs are less than those norms recognized on the State and National levels. The custodial services and building maintenance have the common objective of keeping the building in the best possible useful condition necessary to facilitate the purposes of the educational program.

4. Under auxiliary agencies are included items such as transportation, community use of school buildings, cafeterias, and miscellaneous activities.

Transportation, because of the 2,200 children being transported to and from school daily, is of significant importance in Wayland. Thirteen buses operate to transport the 85% of the school population who require transportation because of either safety or distance from school.

Community use of school buildings continues to increase as the people of Wayland utilize the buildings for their various activities. Applications are filed through the Business Manager’s Office and, during the 1961 calendar year, there were 1,208 community uses of school buildings.

School food services are under the director of cafeterias and all payroll records and invoices are checked through the Business Manager’s Office. School food services and transportation have grown rapidly and today represent two major operations in the Wayland Public Schools.

5. The school department continues its growth along with the school enrollment. Payrolls and personnel records of all professional and non-professional employees of the system are maintained by the administrative offices. School surveys, enrollment projections and statistical data are constantly being gathered for both appraisals and evalua- tions and for necessary state and federal reports.

The Business Manager’s role in education today requires an understanding of the educational policies and programs set forth and the ability to interpret these educational plans into the “Bonds, Buses, Buildings and Budgets” necessary for the operation of schools.

Respectfully submitted,

RICHARD J. LAVIN, Business Manager.
