STATE AUDIT

May 14, 1931 To the Board of Selectmen,

Mr. J. Fred Wheeler, Chairman, Wayland, Massachusetts. Gentlemen

I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the Town of Wayland for the period from January 1, 1930 to March 31, 1931, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Account- ant of this Division. Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts.

Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts, Department of Corporations and Taxation, State House, Boston. Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Wayland for the period from January

1, 1930 to March 31, 1931, and report thereon as follows The books and accounts of the town acccountant were examined and checked, the reported receipts being compared with the financial records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the treasurer’s books. The payments, as recorded on the accountant’s ledger, were checked to the treasury warrants authorizing disbursements, and with the treasurer’s cash book.

The accountant’s ledger was analyzed, adjusting entries were made, a trial balance was taken off, proving the accounts

51 to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of i\larch 31, 1931. The appropriations voted by the town were listed from the town clerk’s records and checked to the accountant’s ledger. It was noted that at the 1931 annual town meeting an appropriation was made for the salaries of school committee members, which is not in compliance with Sections 52 and 61 of Chapter 71, General Laws. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants and with the accountant’s books. The cash book balance was reconciled with statements furnished by the Natick Trust Company as of :vlarch 31, 1931. The payments of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the various trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were not examined, owing to the illness of the above official. The books and accounts of the tax collector charged with the tax levies and assessments for the years 1926 to 1929, inclusive, were examined and checked in detail and his cash book balances were reconciled with the cash on hand and with a statement furnished by the Natick Trust Company, as of March 31, 1931.

Payments by the collector to the town treasurer should be made at least once a week ii; accordance with the provisions of Section 2, Chapter 60, General Laws, as amended.

The books and accounts of the tax collector accountable for the 1930 taxes and assessments were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer’s cash book and the abatements were checked with the assessors’ record of abatements granted. The collector’s cash balance on March 31, 1931, was proved by an actual count of the cash in the office and by a reconciliation of the bank account.

The tax title deeds held by the town were examined and the necessary adjusting entries were made to bring the account-

52 ant’s ledger into agreement with the detailed list of tax title deeds on hand. The outstanding tax and assessment accounts were listed and proved with the accountant’s ledger. A further verifica- tion of the outstanding accounts was secured by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct. The town clerk’s records of town licenses, together with the records of sporting and of dog licenses, were examined, the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer’s cash book and the payments to the State and county, respectively, being verified with the receipts on file. The accounts of the water department were analyzed and checked. The collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were checked and the outstanding accounts were listed. The amount due from the water collector was reconciled with his cash on hand and with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit as of March 31, 1931. The accounts of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and reconciled with the treasurer’s and the accountant’s books. It is recommended that a record of all bills sent out for aid or services rendered, or for materials sold, be promptly submitted by the several departments to the accountant, in order that they may be set up on his ledger as assets of the town. In examining the pay-rolls and vouchers it was found that the highway and snow removal pay-rolls had not been approved by the highway superintendent. Tlie surety bond of the treasurer, tax collectors, and town clerk, for the faithful performance of their duties, were examined and found to be in proper form. Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer’s and the tax collectors’ cash, summaries of the tax, assessment and water accounts, together with tables showing the trust fund transac- tions. During the progress of the audit, co-operation was received from the various town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.

71 SELECTMEN’S REPORT

All regular appointments have been made as required by law. They appear in the list of Town Officers and Committees. At the request of the United States Commission, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Chas. H. Alward Post No. 133 of the American Legion and its Auxiliary were appointed a Committee to arrange the local observance of the celebration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the birth of George ^^"ashington.

In accordance with the Provision of Chapter 44, General Laws, an audit by the Department of Corporations and Taxa- tion was made of all town accounts. The report of the State Director of Accounts is printed in full in the Town Report. The junction of Old Connecticut Path and West Plain Street has been improved and made safe. We accepted the gift of a strip of land at this corner from Messrs. George and Frank Arancio. A railing was erected and the telephone and telegraph poles removed from the travelled way.

A 13/2 ton International truck with underhody hoist was purchased for $1,000.00 after bids were received from dealers of standard made motor vehicles.

The sum of $12000.00 was appropriated at the last Town Meeting for the relocation and reconstruction of part of Cochit- uate Road with the understanding that the State and County would contribute like amounts. In behalf of the Town, bids were advertised for by the State Department of Public Works and contract awarded to the W. & L. Engineering Company under Chapter 90, General Laws. This project was completed under the direction of the Engineers of the Department We found it necessary to constantly protect the interests of the Town against the unbusinesslike methods of the contractor and sub- contractors. Several conferences were held with the Depart- ment of Public Works protesting against the apparent discrimi- nation shown in the emjiloyment of labor. The bond of the

72 Standard Surety Company for the sum of $32,600.00 has not been released, thus protecting the Town from claims for non- payment of wages and materials.

In accordance with Chapter No. 8, Board of Health Regu- lations, the Town Counsel prosecuted Anthony M. Lux and Louis Dean for non-observance of local regulations.

The addition to the pumping station has been completed. The contract to erect this addition was awarded to the lowest bidder, Cornelius J. Maguire, for the sum of $1880.00. The sidewalks on West Plain Street, Commonwealth and Concord Roads were constructed under the direction of the Surveyor of Highways. At the request of the Governor, Hon. Joseph B. Ely, and after careful consideration, an unemployment Committee was appointed to study and suggest methods to assist those out of work.

A 12 inch water-main was laid from Five Paths to Legion Square employing only Town labor. The work was completed within the amount appropriated.

Necessary repairs have been made in the Town House.

Realizing that many Cities and Towns are at present unable to borrow in anticipation of revenue, we urge prompt payment of taxes in order that the credit of the Town of Wayland may not be impaired. With the wages and income of many of our citizens reduced, with probably more unemployed than a year ago and realizing the responsibilities of the Town to those in need of assistance, we hope that careful consideration will be given to appropriations to be made at the next Town Meeting. We do not believe in reducing necessary appropriations how- ; ever, it should be remembered that reasonable expenditures will insure a moderate tax rate.

J. FRED WHEELER, JOHN W. LEAVITT, WILLARD C. HUNTING, Selectmen of the Town of Wayland.

118 REPORT OF THE WAYLAND PLANNING BOARD for 1931

Meeting regularly each month, the Planning Board has made it the main project for 1932 to bring to completion a large map of the town, on which it has been working for several years. There has previously been no detailed and correct modern map of the town in existence. The boundaries of the town, the aqueduct, state and county roads, and the railroad, of which accurate surveys were available, have been made the basis. Roads and other features of which surveys were not available have been plotted with approximate correctness. Further details can be worked into this map whenever surveys are made and funds permit. This Key map has been divided into squares or blocks so that these may be enlarged and become of value to the assessors in the future. Copies will be provided for the use of the various officers of the town. Millbrook Road has been surveyed by the Board with parti- cular reference to changes at the bridge proposed by the High- way Surveyor. At the request of the Planning Board of Sudbury, we have met with them to consider the proposed rebuilding of the State Road through the two towns, which we understand is con- templated by the State in the near future, but no definite actions has yet resulted. The Planning Board believes that the time has come when Wayland should prepare and adopt a zoning by-law, practically every town in this vicinity having now thus protected itself. We also recommend that in considering the acceptance of new streets and similar improvements, the provisions of the Betterment Act be used in the future.

120 REPORT OF THE FIRE ENGINEERS

For the Year Ending December 31, 1931

There have been fewer fires during the past year than the year preceding. The Wayland and Cochituate Companies answering seventy-six alarms, twenty-two of which were building fires, as compared to one hundred and sixty- four in 1930. In the spring of 1931 the engineers purchased a complete Forest Fire Equipment which has been a great help in keeping woods fires under control. Several times water has been pumped from a point 3000 feet distant. During the past year about two miles of Fire Alarm wires have been relocated and replaced with insulated copper wire. This new installation can be used in any modern system.

The Board of Engineers again wish to emphasize the need of a modern Fire Alarm system to extend to and cover the Wayland end of the Town.

There is also an urgent need for a larger truck to carry the Forest Fire Equipment. The Reo truck now in use is a half ton truck and is loaded far above capacity. A suitable truck of one and one half ton capacity could be purchased and equipped for this work for about $1500.

This department has again overdrawn its appropriation the past year due to extensive wire relocations and the installation of a new furnace in the Cochituate station.

The appropriations to protect life and property have not kept pace with those provided for other departments and in fact are below the average spent by other municipalities of the State.

To the Board of Selectmen, Wayland, Mass. Gentlemen

I submit the following report of the year ending Dec. 31, 1931.

From the appropriation of $1000.00 granted me, I have taken down several large trees that were badly decayed, and very dangerous to the public, and have cut the brush along Glezen Lane to Weston line. Rice Road, Connecticut Path, and on all the Main Highways.

I wish to thank the people of the Town for cutting brush beside their property, and the numerous other ways in which they have co-operated with me.

During the year of 1931 I have looked over sportman’s licenses and patrolled 150 hours.

Some complaints of small children catching fish in the ponds have been received, as we can not stay at the ponds all of the time. I wish some of the kickers would look back a few years when they were in the same place as the little ones of today. There are two kinds of fish that are no longer protected, the Sunfish and Bluegill, and the more the boys catch these the better ofif the sportsman will be. CHARLES M. MAGORTY, Game Warden.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH

Cochituate, Mass., January 20, 1932. The Board of Health submits the following report for the year of 1931. Contagious Diseases Scarlet Fever 29 Septic Scarlet Fever 1 Measles 3 Chicken Pox 1 Wdiooping Cough 4 Dog Bite 9 Typhoid Fever 2 Tuberculosis 1 Infantile Paralysis 1 Streptococus Infection of Throat 1 Licenses Granted Alcohol 2 The Board has investigated many complaints during the year. All contagious diseases that were reported were taken care of, but nothing can be done unless the case has been reported by the physician in charge or by the head of the family. The Board wishes that everyone would realize the necessity of knowing the General Laws governing contagious cases. The Board had such an epidemic of Scarlet Fever that we had to overdraw our appropriation.

This epidemic started September 13, 1931 and ran right through to the last of the year.

The list of permits issued by the Board are as follows Keeping Swine 7 Collecting Garbage 1 Hauling Rubbish 2 Cleaning Cesspools 1 There are some piggeries now in operation that haven’t any pennits. ERNEST H. DAMON, Clerk, WALDO L. LAWRENCE,

JOHN J. LINNEHAN, Wayland Board of Health.

126 REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR

In submitting my report of 1931 I find that there have been twenty- four licenses issued to sell milk in the Town of Wayland. Those dealers, to whom these licenses have been issued, have had their milk tested every month, the inspection proving satisfactory. The milk sold in the Schools is found to be satisfactory also.

REPORT OF WAYLAND DISTRICT NURSE

]\Iadam President and Members of the Wayland District Nursing Association

I hereby submit my eleventh annual report for the year ending December 31, 1931.

It is regrettable that the Organization found it necessary to discontinue the Dental Clinic because of lack of funds. We had hoped to continue throughout the school year, as it is one of the most necessary health projects connected with the schools.

Many of the tonsil and adenoid cases were unable to pay their hospital bills. These were taken care of by the District Nursing Association. A great deal of charitable work was done by the Associa- tion. One child was sent to a health camp at the expense of the Association.

Nursing visits 670 New cases opened during the year 98 Prenatal visits 22 Deliveries attended 7 Advisory visits 82 Welfare visits 50 Friendly visits 25 Tuberculosis visits 3

In concluding, I wish to thank you and the other members of the Board. Respectfully submitted, MARY E. McNEIL, District Nurse.

128 REPORT OF HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT

To the Citizens of the Town of Wayland :

Materials

This year there has been used on the macadamized roads of this Town over six thousand dollars’ worth of tar and oil, mostly tar. Very little oil was used on the main thoroughfare, tar taking its place, although more costly it has better wearing qualities. Another year it is hoped that a heavy asphaltic cut back oil can be used along with coarse stone which will not only give a better wearing surface but more safe to drive on in slippery weather.

Sidewalks Commonwealth Road Filling was placed for the continuing of this walk as far as School Street, some eight hundred yards being used. The article did not call for a finished surface as it was felt that this filling should have a suitable time for settlement.

Plain Street This sidewalk commenced at Texaco Filling Station and extended to Lake Road. It was constructed of concrete with rough surface. To avoid cutting some nice shade trees some of the abutters voluntarily gave the Town land where it was needed that this end might be accomplished. To them is given due thanks. Concord Road A walk was constructed from the library to Bow Road of rough concrete with granite curb. At the northerly end it was found necessary to build a retaining wall to protect some shade trees. I feel that this walk will be a great protection to the children who before had to travel in the road where fast driving was not prohibited.

129 Richardson Square This corner under article 37 has been greatly improved. The owners of the Mansion Inn generously gave the town about twelve hundred feet of land which was surveyed and placed on the opposite side of the road where a fence has also been constructed along the steep bank, making passing a great deal safer and also affording a better view to the motorists.

Railings

About eight hundred feet of railing was constructed on the Island Road, also that along main roads was repainted. Under chapter 90 maintenance all railings hereafter are to be concrete posts and cable.

New Road Reconstruction

I feel the town should make an effort to construct a new piece of road each year if only a half mile in length. Traffic conditions are increasing rapidly also the maintenance of our thoroughfares.

Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR HEARD DUDLEY, Highway Surveyor.

130 :

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE

The Board wishes to thank those who have contributed fuel and other necessities,' also those who made financial donations, all of which has helped reduce the expenditure of the department. The large expenditure is somewhat due to people moving here from other towns or cities because of low rents here or other attractions.

The following is a report of the work done by the Middle- sex County Extension Service in the Town of Wayland for the year 1931.

The farmers of Wayland showed considerable interest this year in the work of the Extension Service. Sixty-eight farm visits were made upon request to assist largely the fruit growers, market gardeners and dairymen. In addition, seven- teen visits were made with the animal inspector to obtain signa- tures for the petition for area testing for the eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis. The dairy farmers were assisted with other problems in replacements, factors in improving the qual- ity of milk marketing, etc., pasture improvement and the growing of legumes. Poultrymen were largely interested in disease control and construction and ventilation of poultry houses. A demonstration of picking poultry by the semi-scald method was given at the Park and Pollard farm. A demonstration in prun- ing apple trees was also put on. Judges were furnished for the Cochituate Grange Fair.

Two series of meetings for the benefit of homemakers were carried on during the year, one at Cochituate and the other at Tower Hill. The leaders were Mrs. J. Bemis, Mrs. Edna Marston, Mrs. Joseph Decatur, Mrs. Mary Reid and Mrs. A. Costello. These meetings included discussions on “The Saving of Time, Money and Energy in the Home.” It was reported that information was passed on to 207 homemakers who were unable to attend the meetings. In Cochituate there was also a group of mothers carrying on the Child Guid- ance work under the leadership of Mrs. Maxwell Adams and Mrs. Blanche Gilbert. These meetings have been planned to help parents to better understand their children and to develop a constructive program for children.

Sixty-five boys and girls were enrolled in 4-H club work largely in garden, handicraft, clothing, food and canning clubs.

133 A town 4-H club committee was formed: Frank C. Benedict, Chainnun: Mrs. Joseph Decatur, Mrs. Frank Draper, Henry Hardy, junior director. Local leaders were Mrs. Joseph Decatur, Mrs. H. \\h Taylor, Henry Hardy and Elmer B.igwood. Whlliam Hardy was awarded county championship for the handicraft club. Roy Hallenbrook was awarded a two- day trip to the Massachusetts State College for doing outstanding club work. Six girls from Wayland took part in the county- wide school dress contest. While the Dress Contest was staged Ruth Decatur played at the piano for the dress revue. Club members took part in the Natick rally and had an exhibit at the Parent-Teachers’ Association meeting in the spring. Henry Hardy exhibited a champion male bird in the junior show at the Boston Poultry show. Several townspeople availed themselves of the opportunity of attending county-wide meetings on poultry, fruit growing and dairying, as well as the Homemakers’ Day at Lexington and the County Picnic at Wayside Inn. JOSEPH H. DECATUR, Agricultural Chairman.

136 SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT

In submitting our annual reports to the Town, we would again call your attention to the needs of the schools for better facilities as regards the housing of the school children.

Our accommodations have been strained to the utmost this year, and it has been a hard problem to find seats for all pupils. The School Committee, after careful study of numbers and grades of the schools at this time, feel that the most efficient and economical way to handle the situation would be (First) for the Town to build a 6-room grade school in Wayland

Center, a unit that can be added to as numbers require it.

(Second) Add two rooms to the Cochituate School, bring- ing that building up to its normal capacity of ten rooms or, ; build a 2-room unit to take care of the Old Connecticut Path and Stone Bridge section. As you know, this latter section is a fast growing one, and it would relieve our transportation problem if we could take care of the first four grades in this locality, without transportation.

Now, if we can get a building program started, as suggested, the High School problem would be taken care of for quite a period of years, as the Wayland building would be well adapted for that purpose, if you can separate the High School from the grades. The present High School building is well constructed, has a fire-proof roof, is well placed in connection with the large playground, has good lunch facilities, showers, etc., and with a small outlay for rearrangement of one or two rooms, could be made suitable to take care of our needs for many years.

Now is the time to take action on this matter, before the situation becomes too acute, and now is the time to build, at the least possible cost.

The above recommendations are but a brief outline of what should be done, and we feel sure that a personal investigation of the situation will convince you of our needs. LLEWELLYN MILLS, Chairman, DOROTHY C. STONE, Secretary, WARREN L. BISHOP, School Committee. FI\Ai\CIAL STATEMENT 1931

To the School Committee of \\ ayland :

Aly twenty-second annual report is herewith submitted. It is the thirty-fifth in the series of Reports from this Office.

The Cochitnate building with a seating capacity of 280, enrolled this year 40 more children than could be accommodated normally. There is very little opportunity for recitation work outside of the regular class rooms as there is but one small room in the building other than the regular class rooms. This small room serves for dental work, for examinations of school

physician and nurse, rest room for children who are ill, for filing and other purposes. Therefore, with the larger classes, the services of an assistant to teachers no longer seemed advisable. Hence a study of some other method of handling over-crowded rooms had to be made.

There were a number of vacant sittings in all the rooms in the elementary school at the Center. There were also small class rooms or office rooms that could be given over to the service of the children so long as the Principal of the vSchool and the Superintendent should use the halls for their general work.

In any study of school situations, numbers of children and the location of their residences have to be considered. Accord- ing to the usual findings in every school system, the most seriously crowded rooms in the Cochitnate School were elementary grade rooms, the seventh and eighth grade rooms being not entirely filled. The geography of the situation proved to be complicated as any plan we could devise that would take children from the lower grade rooms would also take children from the upper grades as well, or cause the bus service to be extended to a section twice each morning and afternoon.

The recommendation which was finally made and adopted by you is that forty children from the Old Stonebridge Road District and along Connecticut Path, beginning at Richardson

144 Square, be transferred to the Center School, together with the assistant employed at Cochituate.

This has accomplished a thinning out of the over-crowded rooms at the Cochituate School .although there are four rooms having, even at this time of the year, an enrollment of three, five, and six more than the normal capacity of the rooms in this building. Those children transferred to the Center escape the long tedious hour and a half at noon, have access to a hot lunch, and are better housed both as to class room and home room. This change has not affected the High School situation as to rooms. High school pupils residing at the extreme limits of Wayland on Old Stonebridge Road have also been provided with transportation.

Unfortunately the cost of transportation has been increased, as this change has meant an additional mileage of an average route in town. In order to save expense we have changed the high school hours so as to provide a way to make use of present school busses and still not have children waiting at the school unduly.

It appears that this change has not been an unwise method of solving the problem.

Another change in school administration has been made through your approval after the teachers of the Cochituate School had given much study to the problem. The problem of handling children who could not go home through the long noon hour has grown more and more serious the last five years.

The trial of an hour at noon instead of an hour and a half and the closing hour at three instead of three thirty seems to work well for the children. Such a long noon time for those confined in a considerable group without play room or gymna- sium in winter weather is indeed not a good plan. The change seems to work well and in so far as we know places no hardship upon any one.

This school year has brought the children much disease. Two homes have been not only afflicted with illness, but with loss of precious children. We sympathize deeply with these families.

The reports of our graduates at Wellesley College, Fram- ingham Normal School, other colleges and schools, as well as those in business, are very gratifying.

145 Wayland teachers have given of their time, thought, and money to assist those children upon whom the hand of the world depression has fallen heavily. I am sure that they wish to continue sharing with others in making life better for all who may need the helping hand in these days.

Principal Allen has covered the housing situation for the high school in his report. No one can think otherwise than that something must be done soon to remedy the crowded rooms, but all are willing to study again and to get on somehow a while longer that the building of proper quarters can be postponed until times are propitious for new construction in Wayland. We hope to do this not only cheerfully hut in such a way as to pre- vent loss educationally to the children and without danger to them in any way.

We should view with some measure of anxiety the increase in traffic past the Cochituate School that we are having and the probable further increase that we shall have during the period of constructing the Boulevard from Framingham to Boston. may also look with anxiety upon the increased rate that the machines pass the Center building over the recently rebuilt section of Cochituate Road. I note that police protection is furnished in a great many towns for schools during assembling and dismissal hours. If this be too costly a project for Way- land, the School Department and Police Department should unite in studying rules and regulations for parking, entering the grounds of these buildings, and the discharge and taking on of children by school busses and private cars. Some schools are protected by trained school boys, bearing proper insignia, approved by the Police De])artment. Mr. Morton performs his duties admirably at the Cochituate School in this respect as in all others. It is my opinion that some one else should take over this service and that whoever does the work should be in significant regalia so that automohilists may recognize sooner that a danger zone is at hand and also be prepared to recognize and observe the signals of the official. Police sanction of all regulations will emphasize their value.

For forty years Miss Sylvia E. Prescott has served the public schools of the Commonwealth, twenty of which have been devoted to the interests of the children of Cochituate. Miss Prescott left the service on account of health at the l)egin- ning of this school year.

Tvast year young women from Wellesley College directed

146 the play activities of the Cochituate School children. No one was available at Wellesley this year. Miss Ena Tillson has given exceptionally fine service for a half year in place of the college girls. The Town has been able to help one of her graduates from the high school in getting her normal practice training. Respectfully submitted, FRANK H. BENEDICT, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL

Supt. Frank H. Benedict, Cochitnate, Mass.

Dear i\Ir. Benedict

I herewith submit to you my fourteenth annual report as Principal of the Wayland High School. Alaximum enrollment of the school to date, boys 60, girls 63, total 123. Present enrollment, boys 58, girls 54, total 112.

Present enrollment by classes Boys Girls Total Freshman 23 20 43 Sophomore 14 12 26 Junior 8 10 18 Senior 13 12 25

Total 58 54 112

The organization of the school is very much the same as that of last year. For this year, I was able to make a program that contains the subjects that had been planned, and worked out most of the conflicts caused by failure of students to pass subjects last year. The chief difficulty that I found while working upon the program, was the lack of rooms available for class work. I discovered that there is need for two more rooms. Every year I am finding it harder and harder to clear the conflicts. This condition is caused largely by having too few rooms in which to hold classes.

The high school is larger this year than last year and of course the congestion is greater than that described in last year’s report. This year about forty students and one teacher have been transferred from the Cochitnate building to that in Way- land. The extra rooms required have come largely from the second and third floors of the Wayland building. This aids in crowding high school.

I can see no more possibilities for extra space. Something

148 :

will soon have to be done. The school is steadily growing in size and more space must be provided for the students. The fallowing tabulation gives the number of students attending Wayland High School for the fourteen years for which I have written reports to ‘you Year No. Students Year No. Students 1919 54 1926 98 1920 55 1927 84 1921 59 1928 96 1922 68 1929 101 1923 83 1930 107 1924 81 1931 115 1925 84 1932 123

These figures indicate to me that the student population of the high school will be 150 in three or four years and in another three or four years it will be 200. Something will have to be done soon to relieve the congestion in the Wayland Center Building. The building will satisfy the needs of the high school or the grades for some years to come, but will no longer house both schools without severe congestion. If anyone doubts this, he needs only spend a day in the building while school is in session.

I wish to touch upon the athletic situation at Wayland. Ten years ago about 15 boys turned out for football and 12 to 15 for baseball. At present 25 turn out for football and 15 to 20 for baseball. The income is now about what it was when a much smaller number of students had to be provided for. As a result, the time is not far off when sports will either have to be given up or funds provided from other sources. The development that the boys obtain through their sports is of great value to them, and I hope that conditions develop to make it possible to continue. This situation is not peculiar to Way- land. There are school systems near here that found it necessary some years ago to obtain aid from school funds in order to have sports. Many of the items of expense in connection with athletic work can be legally paid out of school funds. If this could be arranged the other items could be covered, raised as at present. I wish that this be given consideration by the Committee. Sincerely yours,

DAVID J. ALLEN. Wayland, Mass., January 8, 1932.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN

Mr. Frank H. Benedict, Supt. of \\ ’ay land Schools, Cochituate, Mass. Dear Mr. Benedict

I herewith have the honor of submitting my report as Physician of \\’ayland Schools for the year of 1931 and 1932. Number of Students examined Grades 410 High School 122

Total 532 The following defects were noted In the grades, Slightly anaemic 78 Poor posture 140 Carious or dirty teeth 178 Defective tonsils 143 Symptoms of adenoids 69 Enlarged glands 51 Organic heart 2

In the high school, Anaemia 9 Posture 34 Teeth 26 Tonsils 24 Adenoids 3 Glands 2

There were a few cases of impetigo contagioso discovered and the sufferers excluded. I feel that there is an occasional attempt on the part of parents to try to keep their children in the schools when suffering with this disease and by so doing make is harder to control.

150 IMany of the tonsil cases reported show only slight defects and many of the posture cases will improve as the child grows older.

There have been many cases of scarlet fever but these have extended over such a long period that it is more sporadic than epidemic.

There has been no toxin-antitoxin clinic this year.

The dental clinic has improved the general condition of the teeth and I hope it may be continued.

Let me again extend to you, the school nurse, the teachers and students, my sincere thanks for the hearty co-operation in this work. Respectfully submitted, ERNEST E. SPARKS.

151 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE

I\Ir. Frank H. Benedict, Supt. of Wayland Schools, Cochitiiate, i^Iass.

As during the preceding years, I visited both buildings daily. Pupils were weighed and measured once in three months. Sight and hearing tests were given. The prevalance of contagion and skin infection among the children in September has necessitated close supervision, and many of the cases were referred to the school physician who advised exclusion until the condition was corrected. May Day, the national health day, was observed in the schools. Awards were given to the children for good health, standard weight and cleanliness.

In May notices were sent to the parents of children who were to enter school in September with the request that they rgister such children at the school buildings.

As heretofore, I assisted the school physician at the annual examination of pupils in September and also the school dentist twice a week up through November. After that time it was thought advisable to discontinue the dental clinic for an indefi- nite period because of lack of funds. Home visits to school children 230 Children accompanied home because of illness 17 Children excluded because of infection 46 First aid 11 During the summer vacation a number of children needing tonsil and adenoid operations were cared for at the Framingham Hospital. Some welfare work has been done among the school children.

In closing I wish to thank you, the teachers and all those who have in any way made this year successful. Respectfully submitted, MARY E. McNElL.

~~REPORT OF THE WAYLAND WATER BOARD~~

~~To the inhabitants of the Town of Wayland~~

~~The Board organized with Francis T. Erwin, Chairman, Alfred C. Damon, Secretary and Collector. A. A. Lamarine was reappointed Superintendent. Louis Pettigrew was reappointed Engineer.~~

Owing to the bearings on No. 2 Engine and pump heating, the Board found it advisable to engage the services of an expert on pumps and engines to investigate. It was found that No. 2 Engine was out of line with the pump, causing an outward strain on the bearings, also that the clutch was worn beyond repair. The Engine was lined up and a new clutch installed.

Considerable trouble was encountered in the building of the road from State Road to Connecticut Path. The 10-inch main and service pipes were broken in a number of places, also a number of service boxes were torn out. The appropriation for the improvement of Baldwin’s Pond was spent installing a drinking fountain, spreading sand and cutting brush along the shore.

~~The Board recommends that the Town accept that part of Baldwin’s Pond now used for swimming purposes as a town park and turn it over to the Park Commissioners for supervision.~~

An appropriation of $2,800 was made at the last annual Town Meeting for the extension of 6-inch water main with fire hydrants and gates along School Street from the residence of A-ugust Dath to the junction of Cochituate Road. Owing to the nature of the soil the Water Board was unable to finish the work with the money appropriated. As the people who needed the water were not taken care of, the Board voted to continue the line and tie in at Cochituate Road, the cost of which was taken from the maintenance appropriation.

~~188 REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE FOR THE EXTENSION OF WATER MAIN FROM CONNECTICUT PATH TO MEMORIAL SQUARE~~

~~The Committee decided to use all hand labor in the digging and laying of the pipe on this job in order to help relieve the unemployment situation.~~

~~The employing of the help was under the supervision of the Unemployment Committee of the Town.~~

~~Mr. John Cipoletta was appointed Superintendent in charge of the work, with Mr. Andrew Benson and Mr. Walter Big- wood assisting.~~

~~Owing to the number of men employed, the Committee thought it advisable to obtain insurance covering them against accidents while at work.~~

The job consisted of the digging and laying of 10,127 feet of 12-inch cast iron pipe, with a 12-inch gate valve every 1,000 feet. Hydrants with a gate were placed every 1,000 feet. A pressure reducer was inserted in the line at Fiske’s Corner in order to protect the pipe lines that have been in service in Cochituate for over fifty years.

~~The 12-inch main was tied in on the 8-inch and the two 6-inch mains at Memorial Square, thus obtaining a direct feed to all the main lines in Cochituate Village.~~

During 1931 thirteen hundred and seventy-five dollars ($1375) was received to establish Perpetual Care Funds as follows : $1,0(X) from Charles W. Dean to establish the Charles W. Dean Fund. $50 bequeathed under the will of Helen M. Carter to establish the Helen M. Carter Fund. $100 from Charles W. Dean to establish the H. W. Dean Fund. $100 from Mrs. Kathryn I. Jones and Henry M. Kelley to establish the Kelley-Jones Fund. $125 bequeathed under the will of Herbert P. Coch- rane to establish the Herbert P. Cochrane Fund.

Including the above donations there is now a total of $17,500 invested, the income from which will be used for Per- petual Care of burial lots as designated by the donors of each Fund. As the Town of Wayland appropriated, in 1931, one thousand dollars ($1000) for the care and up-keep of the North and Center Cemeteries, and a like amount for care and up-keep of Takeview Cemetery a large amount of necessary work was done during the last year. By the end of 1931 the Cemeteries were in good condition. Therefore, in view of the distressing monetary situation in all towns and cities the State over, and in fact the whole United States, the Cemetery Commissioners, by a unanimous vote, voted to ask for an appropriation, for the year 1932, of eight hundred dollars ($800) for the North and Center Ceme- teries and eight hundred dollars ($800) for the Lakeview Cemetery—a direct saving to the Town of Wayland of four hundred dollars ($400) over last year’s expenditure. For the financial condition of the Cemetery Commission see report of the Town Accountant for 1931. Respectfully submitted, JAMES M. BENT, Chairman, HOWARD W. PARMENTER, WILLIAM READ, Clerk.
