ORIGINÃL GOODNOïTI IJBNARY(r862)

\JV'e crpproach the l00th or¡niversqry of the lounding ofSudbury's Goodnow Librory. .A,nd we thought it would beinteresting to show the librcry in its initiol form, how it lookedin 1862 before subsequent odditions were qdded to completelychonge iùs exterior desigm.

Mecr¡s for building qnd estqblishing this, the second freepublic lending librory in Mcrssachusetts, crcrne throtrEh thebequest of c John Goodnow, .' prosperous Boston merchcrrt.Mr. Goodnow wos Sudbury born crrd wcndered out in theworld to seek his fo¡tune. His fcmrily went bqck to one of theoriginol town founders. The lqnd wqs given cnd enough moneywcs left to construct the building ond to stock it with books.

The Town crppointed c building committee crnd the librorywcs built for something under $9000. \Me find no record ol it,but the odd design of the structure must hcrve been chosen bythe citizen building committee. Mcrry people feel that it lookedlike o pill-box or cr smqll fort.

The librcny opened with 2800 books on its shelves. It woslighted by oil lcmps, heqted by c lorge iron stove. pcrt of thelibrqricrn's duties wqs to keep the lcrnp chimnelæ wcrshed crrdcleqned' The librorion's sclory in the eqrlier doys did not exceedthirty dollcrs per ann'm. It wos c job of honor crrd prestige.

'w'e cre indebted to Mr. Ellsworth Davis for this hcrndsomedrowing of the originol librcry building. For the model he usedcur old, fcrded out photogrcrph in possession of the GoodnowLibrcry.

SETECTMEN'S REPORT

The Selectmen, with Francis W. Trussell as Chairman andI{arvey N. Fairbank as clerh, held sixty-six scheduled meet-lngs in 1960, as well as numerous special meetings with variousBoards, Officials, ¿nd Citizens of the town.

The completion of the new Police Station in South Sudburyon the Boston Post Road has provided adequate and modernfacilities for this department, ãnd should fulfill our needs inthis respect for many years.

-Witþ the purchase from the Raytheon Company of a pieceof land on the Boston Road, adjacent to ttreir new laboratory,needed additional fire protection for South, East, and WestÞudþpry is fast becoming a reality. It is óxpectó¿ that thebuilding will be ready for occupancy by June J", 1961. To sup-plement this expansion, an article has

-been put into the TownMeeting warrant for a new Clâss "4" Fire Engine. The com-hjned ages of the six pieces of fire equipment now ovrned bythe town totals 114 years, or an âverage age of 1g years each.The Fire Department should be commendéd for the excellentprotection they have provided the town with this antiquatedpQuipment. Lest the residents of North Sudbury feel theyh-¿ve been neglected, we remind them that the town has pur-chased land on the corner of Dakin and North. lìoad, and assoon as the South Sudbury Sub-Station is com¡rleted, stepswill be taken to erect a North Sudbury Sub-Station on thãtlocation.

The exterior of the Town Hall, the upper Town I{all and thestairways have been painted to specidCations clrar,vn up withthe assistance of Robert Desjardin, of the Commission ofHistorical Structures. It is planned to paint the lou'er TownHall and the office space, but previous- to this, considerableattention shoulcl be given to office needs and Committee Meet-ing Rooms. The space previously occupiecl by the Police Sta-tion has been assigned to the Board of Assessôrs. The WelfareBoard has requested additional space, ancl a request has beenreceived from the Planning Board for ctesk spâce. It is alsoÞplsible th¿t in the near future, space will have to be pr.c-vided for the Town Treasurer. We also need adcìitional vàultspace for storing Town Records. There are no toilet facilitiesin this section of the building, the nearest being in the frontpart of tlie building or upstairs behind the stag'e. The busi-ness of the various committees and Boards of the town isbecoming so great that many nights it is practically impossibleto find a space to hold a meeting. The complete ofìic-e spacerequirements of the town should be reviewed and ordèrlyfut¡rre expansion planned. Some thought should be given tôdividing the lower Town Hatl with folding partitions to makecommittee meeting rooms.

The Haynes House, now known as the Loring Parsonage,has been placed under the jurisdiction of the Commission ofHistoric Structures. An article will be in the warrant of theAnnual Town Meeting for them to have similar authority overthe llosmer I-Iouse.

We wish to report that in accordance with the laws of theCommonwealth, the Town Bounds have been perambulatecland the necessary reports filed.

Mr. Philip B. Buzzell of the firm of Hemenway and Barneshas been retained to represent the interests of the town inthe Boston Edison Case. In an effort to keep the towninformed as to the progress of this case copies of all com-munications from him have been furnished to the three Sud-bury newspapers, as well as to the Citizens Committee.

An increase of over a quarter of a million dollars in theSudbury School Budgets for 1961 should make us rcalize thatmore industry is needed if we are to balance the budget with-out increasing our already high tax rate. The dediõation ofthe Raytheon Laboratory and the breaking of ground bySperry are monuments to the untiring effoit the-IndustriãlCommission has put into their contribution of "holding theline" on the tax rate. Every citizen and official of the townshould get behind this commission and help them continue thegood work.

A five-member Conservation Commission has been appointedand Stanley Russell was elected chairman.

__ The $12,000 appropriated for completion of the widening ofFlorse Pond Road will not be used fõr this project becausõ ofthe objections of several residents of this road to deeding landto the town without receiving damage awards. With theincreased traffic and school bus travel, many of our roads arenow too narrow and should be widened. llowever, unless wecan get the cooperation of the land owners, the cost of widen-ing the roads will be increased considerably.

Notice of an application for a permit to erect a billboardbetween the Esso Gas Station and Pike's Garage on the Bos-ton Post Road was received and, after a hearing, the Boardopposed the granting of this permit and requested a hearingbefore the Outdoor Advertising Authority. The date for thishearing has not as yet been set. The permits for the othertwo billboards across the Post Road from the above locationexpire June 30, and a hearing will be requested before theAuthority to voice our objections to renewing these permits.

- The long awaited Route 20 Bypass is a little nearer reality,but as yet, is not a surety. Work continues in surveying aroute and þking borings. But no definite route has, as iet,been established, nor has the actual construction been pro-

grammed into the department of Fublic Works ConstructionPlans for 1961 or 1962.

Meetings have been held with the Board of Health and TownCouncil to put into final form a Plumbing Code which will bepresented at the Annual Town Meeting.

One of the next big problems facing the town is "should wehave sidewalks, or not?" The Women's Club has informed theSelectmen that one of their projects for the coming year willbe a campaign to repair the siclewall<s which already exist andto recommend sidewalks throughout the town. There are manyl'pros and cons" on this subject, but a complete study shouldbe made to determine the advisability of constructing side-walks. The state is in the process of surveying our schooltransportation costs, and it appearc that we will not be allowedany reimbursement for pupils that live less than one and one-half miles from the school they attend. This could increaseour pupil transportation cost about $40,000 per year. Maybe,we should give sidewalks serious consideration.

It was with much regret that the Selectmen accepted theresignation of Mrs. Mary Quinn, who has been Chief Clerk atthe Town Hall for many years.

The Selectmen wish to express their appreciation for thehelp and advice which they have received from the citizensof the town and the members of various boards and commit-tees during the past year.

Respectfully submitted,

FRANCIS W. TRUSSELL

The Planning Boardunanimously approves this article."

The -spurtrack was installed

The use of said spur track did not become apermisïible nonconforming use- upon- the inclusion of theþremises on rvhich it is loõated in Industrial District No. 4;ãnd as a result of conferences by officials of the BostonEdison Company and the Board of Selectmen and Town Coun-sel there hai beôn a cessation of use of such track, the switchhaving been "spihed"; and titigation for the removal of suchspur tirach hasbeen aîoided for the time being- at.least. Theainendment here proposed in effect validates the installationof such spur traclt aird permits its use by ?n oyng! or lesseeof the land "for loading:and unloading of freight if a permitis grantecl by the Board of Appeals." Tf adopted, the amend-ment will beôome a valid by-law of the Town."

drainage. The owner of the road or drive shall pay any costincidental to the construction thereof including thè cost of anynecessary drainage structures; pass any vote or take actionrelative thereto.

Submitted by the Sudbury Planning Board.

Report of Town Counsel: "The article under considerationwould repeal the provisions of Section 5 "C". It is within thecompetency of this Town Meeting to do so. Repeal of saidparagraph "C" is desirable, as in my opinion it is beyond theauthority of the enabling statute."

Planning Board Report: "The courts have ruled thatPlanning Boards do not have the power to issue permits underthe Zoning Enabling Act. Therefore Section 5 "Q" of theSudbury zoning laws is illegal and should be removed.

PROCEEDINGS OF THD ADJOURNEDANNUAL TOWN MEETING

Professor John Carrell MorrisTown Moderator250 Raymond RoadSudbury, Massachusetts

Dear Sir:The permission that you granted us to attend, as guests of

Ir.onor, the Annual Town Meeting of Sudbury, on lVednesday,March 9, 1960 was å real privilege because it availed us of aunique experience.

To witness the democratic process of government, in vividaction, engenders in the soul a thrilling delight not less in-tense than the ecstasy of the old Athenians when their sociallife was pulsating with the creative challenge of their pioneerCity-State form of government.

"Town" government is a pure illustration of a "goveramentof the people, by the people, for the people." In this countryevery person (a U. S. or non-U. S. citizen) must get a directrefreshing acquaintance with the elements of unadulterateddemocracy; hence, a pilgrimage visit to the Mecca of democ-racy - A New England Town Meeting (such as Sudbury's) -is a necessity. The spirit of this way of government can thusbe kept aflame in the hearts of people and of nations.

Your ability, as â moderator, was easily evident; the rever-end Episcopalian Minister uttered a soul-searching, thought-provoking and' spirit-motivating prayer; and many speakersfrom the floor spoke with convincing clarity and studied con-tent. Such perfonnance stands, in our memory, as a chal-lenging example of the behavior of a community with aheightened sense of civic responsibility.

Submitted by the Selectmen.

REPORT ON HAYNES HOUSE

My statements under this article âre my own opinions andare ñot to be construed'as the opinions of any committee ofwhichlamamember.

The Town owns a frame building adjacent to the town hallwhich is generally known as the llaynes llouse or the janitor'sresidence. More formatly this home should be referrecl to asthe Loring Parsonage.

I believe that this house and land was acquired by the Townabout 1930 at which time the Town }Iall was erected on aportion of the land. The house was used as a janitor's resi-dence from that time, and one room was used'as a fireman'srecreation area. About two years ago, the recreation areawas adapted for the Town Engineer. Practically nothing wasexpended by the Town on this house between 1930 and 1957.

Extensive funds \¡/ere appropriated at recent town meetingsto repair the roof, install plumbing and heating and to repairto some extent the underpinning. This house is still in needof woi'k and some decision is necessary.

Many of the thoughts and much of the information whichI present have been contt'ibuted by Mr. Robert Desiardin ofOld Sudbury Road who resides in the Bigelow Parsonage, laterknown as the Davison home.

Generally it is the consensus of opinion that the town centershould be retained as it now appears. We are very fortunatein this town to have the opportunity to retain one of the veryfew New England Town Centers in its original state. I alnsure you will agree that it is a refreshing atmosphere anda symbol of New England country living to which we ascribe.

The Loring Parsonage was built about L720 and is classifiedas a Center Chimney Colonial; its doorway is characteristicof Central Middlesex County. It appears to me to be a veryvaluable part of our Town.

ï understand that correct restoration is not more expensivethan incorrect repairing. This theme is the basis of my pro-posal. What I have to propose is not radical, does not with-draw this structure from its current use and in the long rundoes not place an undue burden on the town's finances.

MOVE: That-1. A Commission of three be appointed by the Moderator to

be known as the Commission on Historical Structures

I

2. with the approval of the board of selectmen, jurisdictionover the Loling Parsonage be placed in this commission

3. no alterations, repairs, attachments, or schedule of main-tenance shall be und'ertaken without written approval ofthe Commission

4. no change in present occupancy shall be made, except tovacate, without approval of the Commission.

5. The Commission shall have such other authority as isnecessary to manage the Loring Parsonage properly

6. on or before the next annual town meeting, this Commis-sion shall examine the Loring Parsonage, prepare a planof procedure ancl report thereon.

While all the conditions necessary to insure the functioningof this commission may not be incorporated in this motion,it may serve to initiate this program. I believe a body, such asis proposed, is vitally necessary. I also believe, and I havebeen assured, that there are a number of capable citizens whoare willing to donate their knowledge and'skills to a Commis-sion of Uris nature. I urge the adoption of this motion.

APPENDIX A

Report on Drainage Conditions

Under article 25 of the Special Town Meeting of May 26,1959, it was voted that the Highway Surve,yor and-the TownEngiireer submit a report on dlainage conditions throughoutthe Town with regards to surface water.

The colored map that is before you shows forty-one differentareas which conti'ol the flow and direction of surface water.Some of these areas are large and the runoff is slow, otherareas are small and the runofl is fast. Also several of theseareas upon a complete survey of elevation could be dividedinto smaller areas of water shed.

You will note that the runoff enters into one of two mainbrool<s which carry alvây the surface water, that is, namelythe I-Iop Brooh and Pantry Brook.

I-Iop Brook starts at the Grist Mill Pond which is near theMarlboro Framingham line and flows in several directionsand empties into the Sudbury River. You will also notice thatthis bróoli hanclles mole than fifty percent of the water shedarea of the town.

Pantry Brook starts about at Old Sudbury Road and RiceRoad and flows in several directions until it enters the Sud-bury River.

There is also a third area of water shed which flows gener-ally from Concorcl lìoad starting near Candy llill Road andcontinuing up to Lincoln Roact and over Lincoln Road to theSuclbury niver. This water shed flows generally easterlycrossing under Water Row into the low lands eventuallyreaching the Sudbury River.

The conveying of sur{ace water is done by one of twomethods, by pipe or open channel. (The circumstances in-volved with tñe well known question. I have a large pond ofwater in front of my property and I thinl< the town should clo

something about it.) The location of the so-called pond ischecked upon the ground; a survey is made wit! emphasison elevation, alignment, and point of discharge. After a pointof discharge has been decided upon the problem is how bo

convey the water there. It may mean the laying of all thepipe in the highway for several hundred feet or having theþiþe cross through private property, at a shorter distance.

The proposed location througl'r private property could .in-volve säveial property ownels, lvho r¡'ould agree to let thetown lay the pipe through their land. But wþen the propertyownels involved ale asked to sign a lelease for the construc-

77

tion of the storm water drain the delay begins. The propertyowners do not want to encumber their property, even thoughit is for their best interest to construct the drain throughtheir property.

Therg are many other phases connected with work in tryingto eliminate surface water conditions throughout the tówn.The problem of putting storm water drainage-under control isto start by selecting a specific area to be controlled. Beginningat the point of discharge and working back to its source. Thisbrings us to the first step which is ãn easement or right-of-way over nrivate land to a highway. The size of the pipe tobe laid under the highway is determined by the water-shedarea that is to be controlled.

- At the present time there are approximately twenty-fivelocations throughout the town that nèed to be ðorrected andvarying in price from 9500.00 to 95,000.00.

_ Howeverr âny- amount of money that is appropriated forthe correction of our drainage system would ¡e a step in theright direction.

Respectfully submitted,

APPENDIX B

Majority Report of the Committee to Study the Matter ofTaking Over the Sudbury Water District

Our committee had two general areas to investigate:

1. How does a town go about tahing over a water districtand

2. Should the Town of Sudbury take over the SudburyWater District of SudburY.

Since our organization this committee has held numerousdiscussion and ieporting meetings. As a group -or as individ-uals we have mef with ánd asl<ed information of Commission-ers and officers of the Sudbury Water District (Past-Present),the Sudbury Finance Committee, Sudbury Torvn Treasurer,Tax Collector, a Representative of the Division of Accountsin the State ÍTouse and many other interested town officialsand citizens. We have corresponded with several other townsrelative to their experience since taking over districts withintheir limits, and reõeived one answer. We revierved activitiesof several other Water Districts and town Water departments.

The Sudbury Water District was formed under Chapter 100of the Acts of 1934 of the State Legislature. It is necessaryto receive leg:islative sanction before the District can be takenover by the town. Attached to this report is a sample enablingact wliich upon petition would be passed' by the legislature.This act would clear the way for the transfer and would re-quire ratific¿tion by the Town Meeting and the Water DistriciMeeting. The act would live for lìve years so that if at anytime during the five years following its passâge both- the town¿nd the dlstrict werè on lecord as being in favor of the takeover it would then become an accomplished fact, This act alsocl'etermines the method of electing Water Commissioners andother details.

As a result of oul study we found that most of the votersof the Town also qualify as voters of the Water District. Re-cently large areas have been included in the District and nolvit apirears that more than 85% of the voters of the town soqual:ily. Atl the town owned buildings are located within theìimits of the Water District and tlie Torvn is one of the largestusels of metered water.

Appalently most of the voters fìnd meetings regarding qnlywater distribution matters uninteresting because they oftenrefuse to atten<l. The District repeatedly has a problem gath-eling a quorum although large expenditures are discussed andclecidecl àt these meetings. These items u'oulcl fit comfortably

into the normal routine of a town meeting. If the need forspecial action arises during the year, there are enough townmeetings hetd to oblige the urgency of most situations.

The town and the district are subject to the same problemsof growth and have in common the fact that they are bothmuñicipal organizations designed to service Sudbury people.Ilowevèr, under the present djstrict set-up a proposed actionshould be clearly advantageous to the district before it istahen. An occasion could arise whereby an action of the dis-trict would beneflt the town but not necessarily the districtas a district. It is conceivable that the district might not actunder these circumstances.

Some projects require dual action by the Town Meeting and'the Water District Meeting. This is a cumbersome and un-reliable arrangement. It is possible for one meeting to approvethe project and the other reject or not even take it up at all

- proving nothing.

If the water system were administered by a Water depart-ment, articles involving expenditures would be submitted tothe finance committee for their recommendations, as is thr¿case with the other town departments. These expenditureswould be considered by the voters of a town meeting along withother requests submitted by other departments. The voterwould then be a\ryare of the "Total picture" of expenditures.

Certain expenses and duplication of effort could be elimi-nated. Although these expenses are minor they cannot beoverloohed. There would be savings in billing, printing, costsof elections and meeting:s and other smaller items. Attached'to this report is a letter from the Town Clerk of Acushnetzrttesting to this.

The activities of the district are of necessity partially sup-ported by the town. The costs of main installations are in-creased by the need to supply a flow of water for fire protec-tion as well as for domestic use. It now appears that as theneed arises the district will look to the town for more finan-cial aid. Without this aid it is difficult for the d'istrict tooperate in the Black. As a department the transfer of fundswould be a bookkeeping transfer.

The majority of the committee recommends that the tolvnof Sudbury should take over "The Sudbury Water District ofSudbury." We further recommend that a water departmentbe established and that it should not be a part of a PublicWorks Department. There should be three (3) elected Com-missioners of the Water Department to administer the sys-tem. ït is our feeling that the present policy of standardizingthe component parts of the water system should be adhered

to. We agree that the "Fixed charge" method of financingnew main construction is adequate and suggest that it becontinued.

The majority of the members feel that it is improbablethat all the necessary steps could be tal<en in less than 24months. Therefore the legislature should be petitioned assoon as possible.

WILLIAM L. HALL, ChuirmanWATER DISTRIBUTION STUDYConcord Road, Sudbury, Mass.

Dear Mr. Ilall:Your inquiry conceming the District turn over to a town

department, which was directed to the selectmen, has beenreferred to me.

Under C. 35 of the Acts of 1945 authorizing the town totake over all duties and obligations of the water district thetown and district by vote duly taken did set up a town waterdepartment. In order to smooth the initial turnover it wasvoted to have the selectmen act as watel commissioners inaddition to their other duties without salary. The Clerk ofthe former district continued to act as clerlç of the depart-ment. This setup continues today. I hold the following posi-tions in town, viz, Town Clerk, Treasurer-Collector and Clerkof the water department, and have been in office since 1942.My comments on the matter are as follows:

The action taken in 1945 was very timely and economical,for, at the time, development was limited to within the dis-trict when indications were that the latest area of buildingwas without the district bounds; this potential required' eitherabandonment of the district or legislative action to extendthe district.

A tremendous amount of duplication in assessing, collect-ing, elections, compiling of voting lists and related expenseswere eliminated.

Page 77: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

75

The water department has successfully operated' on its in-come, including debt and interest.

My best judgment dictates that the department could func-tion more expeãitiously if managed by a board other than theselectmen, preferably a water-sewer board.

Civil service beneflts are with the town water departmenb.

Very truly yours,

Minority Report

As a member of the Committee to study the matter of thetown tal<ing over the Water District, and as a Water Com-missioner, I would like to present a minority report.

First of all I would like to make it clear that I am not op-posed to the town taking over the Water District, but I doñot feel it would be to tlie town's advantage to do so at thistime.

The Commissioners have certainly had the town's interestin mind by directing money for the fastest economic¿l expan-sion. Obviously if the expansion had'been stopped the Districttax could be eliminated.

The District now has mains in approximately 30o/o of thetown roads rvith approximately 60% of. the assessed valuation.

The following might be of interest:

1936 6.54 miles of mains 6L services 40L940 7.4 " '( " lll" " 44L945 8.46 " tt " L70 " 491950 9.63 (' " " 277 "1955 15.9 (' (' " 462 " 961959 34.8 " 't " 1,056 " 2L2

hydrants(a

aa

Before voting for the town to take ovel the Water Districtevery voter should seriously consider how future water mainextensions will be handled. I l:elieve as do other members ofthe Board of Water Commissioners that should the town takeover the water district that Section C of our present fixedcharge method, as voted at the Special District Meeting Augustl, 1967, might not be legally enforceable by the town withrespect to subdivisions. (This means, where a developelnow pays the district $150.00 per lot plus laying all main,setting gate valves and hydrants in their development, thisrevenue would be lost. This amounted to $32,550.00 in 1959.

Page 78: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

76

I will therefore want to be very sure about this beforevoting to have the town take over the District.

Another major problem should the town take over the dis-trict would be taxation of those receiving benefit and thosenot receiving: benefit. This is the very reason why water dis-tricts are formed. It is why Bangor, Maine, after many yearsas a water department, recently formed a water district.

In some towns, substantial tax or water rate increasesfollowed the town taking over the water district.

The town finance committee have seen fit to recommendthat the town take over the Sudbury YWater District, butafter hearing statements made by some members I do notfeel they have been sufficiently interested to deeply analyzethe district finaneing.

Article 4. To see if the Town will vote to antend itsByJaws by adding thereto â nerv article, to be knolvlt asArticle V (13), as follows:

OPERATION OF MOTOR BOATS

1. No motor boat shall be operated upon th¿t portion ofthe Sudbury River, or of its tributarics, or of any jnlancl l¿kelying within the Town, in a manner rvhich endangers thesafety of the public or is detrimental or injurious to thcneighborhood or to the value of property thereon.

2.

3. Any person violating any provision of this By-law shallbe subject to a fine not exceeding $20.00 for each offcnse.

enforcement of this ByJarv or a similar Bylaw ado¡rted l:ysuch other town, in so far as such ByJaws relate tc saidriver or its tributaries, and may appropriate money for theenforcement in whole or in part of any or all of such By-l¿rrvs.Pass any vote or take action relative thereto.

Submitted by the Selectmen.

Report of Town Counsel: There is no legal objection tothe provision of section one of the proposecl byJaw. The pro-vision in section 2: "not having an underwater exhaust" isrepugnant to the provisions of G. L. c. 702, section 15, whichamong other things provides that a motor boat be providedwith "underwater exhaust" of a type "approved by, ánd usedin conformity with rules ancl regulations hereby authorized!q be promulgated by the commissioner of public safety."Violation of such provision is punishable by a fihe of not morethan twenty-five dollars. ft "has been held that where bylegislation a subiect matter has been fully dealt with, a byJawof a town or city dealing further and otherwise with thatstrbject matter is 'r'enugnant to law'." Cotnntornuealtlt, v.Barona,s, 225 Mass. 327, 322. If such provision is retained,the entire section will be invalid. I suggest that it be deleted.

Section 3 may also be elided for the reason that the generalpenalty provisions in Article VI, section 2 will apply.

In my opinion the adoption of section 4 of the subjectbyJaw woulc{ be unlawful as no authority is granted to mal<ebyJaws of this character. The exercise of the po\áer grantedto cities and towns by said Section 158 to mal<e orclinancesindividually or jointly q,ith respect to the operation of motorboats granted by said c. 102, section 158, must exercisejointly. The provisions of saicl section 4 are unilateral. Itshould be struck out.

If the changes are made as I have suggested, I am of theopinion that the proposed acldition to Article V of the Bylarvsof the Town rvill be valid.

AMENDMENT VOTED: To omit from Section 2 tltetuortls "or a,t a rate of speed, in encess of ten mi,Ies per ho,¿lr."

VOTED: Tha,t, the Town amend the Bg-Iaws by add.ing att"lte encl of Article V, under the hearli,ng, operation of motorItoctts, tlte f ollowi,ng new sections:

Pass any voteor take action relative thereto.

Submitted by the Selectmen and League of Women Voters.

Finance Committee Report: The Finance Committeeendorses this article. We recognize the need of a conservationcommission to study, promote, develop and protect the naturallesources of the town. It is to be expected that this commis-sion will recommend the expenditure of certain funds in along range progrâm. The Finance Committee recommends theestãblistrmeht õf this commission which would prepare basicstudies before funds are committed to a conservation program.

REPORT OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS

We should like to offer a brief summary of the provisions ofthe State enabling act which the Town is being,as]<ed to acceptin the above article, and at the same time briefly to explainwhy the League is sponsoring this article.

Page 89: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

The broad purposes of local conservation commissions, asdefined by the enábling act, are the promotion and protectionof the natural resources of the community.

The principal functions of a conservation commission ¿reas follows: As the official resources agency of the community,it has the duty to keep an ind,er of all open lands and to malcerecommendati,ons to the state or town as to their proper useand management. It should act as the coordinating agencv ofthe community on conservation matters, and give assistance toany existing private or public agencies working in this field.It may conduct reseørches on related problems and prepareinform,ation anil ed,ucationa,l materials f.or the community'sbenefrt. It may accept gi,fts of. lands, funds, or buildings onbehalf of the community and manttge donated or purchasedproperties in accorcl with the purposes set forth in theenabling act.

A commission shall have 3 to 7 members, appointed by theSelectmen, to serve for staggered terms of 3 years each.

A town may appropriate for the woi'k of a Commission asum not exceeding 7/20 of.1 percent of its assessed valuationfor the previous year, and such money may be accumulatedfrom year to year in a Conseraation Fund and used for anypurpose consistent with the enabling act, including the pur-chase of land.

You will notice that there is no appropriation being askeclfor in the present article. This is because we believe that aCommission should have the opportunity first to conduct itsresea::ches and come to the Town with its own proposals.Whether or not anything is ever done will depend upon a voteof the Town.

During the last year the League of Women Voters of Sud-bury has made a study of certain aspects of town planning.As a result of its findings it became convinced that a balancedopen space program and the development of sound conserva-tion policies in connection with water and land uses of allkinds are urgently needed by growing country towns. Suchtowns as Sudbury still possess valuable natural resources, butfind themselves in the path of urban expansion and populationpressures which could lead to the complete absorption, or tothe misuse, of these resources in the near futnre.

The League feels that Sudbury has assets in the form of itswoodlands, wetlands, hills, meadows, ponds, and rivers, whichare valuable not only to the present inhabitants of the Town,but to the future inhabitants, and also to the region, or greatermetropolitan complex, of which \¡¡e are a patt.

As you knorv, Sudbury helps to form an extremely impor-tant green belt around Greater Boston. This green belt was

You have seen the road signs indicating thisCiicuit all along the Concord Road.

Very littleaction has ás yet been tãken under the Bay Circuit Act. ATown Conservátion Commission could help to give it substanceas well as legal form.

Conservation worl< is slow at best. All the more reason tobegin without delay.

This is the first time the Sudbury League of Women Votershas been in a position to take action on the local affairs levelof its program-by submitting an article for Town Meeting: con-sideration-. We are pleased that this initial move has come inthe area of conservation, and honored to be co-submitting thisarticle with the Selectmen.

Sudbury needs long-range conservation planning, attcl rveurge an ailrmative vote on the motion before you.

Submitted by E. T. Ferguson, Tree Warden.Finance Committee Report: The Fin¿nce Committee

recognizes the problems outlined by the Tree Warden. It iscertain that the townspeople must be apprised of the generalconditions facing the Tree Warden and a decision must bemade as to the extent of the program to be followed. TheTree Department has submitted estimated budgets for lg6land 1962 in the amounts of 918,000.00 for each yéar. This is asubstantial increase over the present budget and necessarilyshould be considered before the next annual town meeting.The amount of 91,000.00 was appropriated at the AnnuãlTown Meeting to institute a tree planting program. Appar-ently-thepurpose of this account was misõoñstrued. Apdroxi-mately $900.00 was used to purchase trees and shrubs andcharge-d to the appropriation, ãnd an additional 91,400.00 wasexpendeS to plant the trees and charged to the Tree Deparliment (Tree and Brush Control Account) budget. At- thisstage, therefore this committee recommends the appropriationand transfer of funds to correct this situation.- It is theopinion of the Finance Committee that we have advanced thetree planting program in excess of the plan for 1960 and thissituation should be considered in the 1961 budget.

The net effect of thg motion to be presented will 1) provide?l additional $1,500.00 for the Tree Departnieñt and2) account for the true total expenditure of 92400 for plant-ing trees and shrubs.

Planning Board Report: At the public hearing on the pro-posed rezoning of this area from Industrial to Business, sev-eral important problems presentecl themselves.

L. The present Business zone along Route 20 has a clepthof only L00'. Many of the businesses in this are¿ have founclit necessary to go to the Board of Appeals for valiance inorder to meet the site plan regulations and contluct theirbusiness.

2. The Post Office is planning to build a much neededbuilding in a part of the proposed new zone.

For these reasons the Planning Board âpproves this article.

PROCBEDINGS OF THESPECIAL TOWN MEETING

SEPTEMBER 29, 1960

Pursuant to law and the foregoing lvarrant, clated Septem-Þ"{ 16, 1960 and signed by Francis W. Trussell, Harvèy N.Fairbanh and Lalvrence B. Tighe, Selectmen, and the returnof service,by Augustus V. E. Sharkey, Constable, the Modera-t-or_presicletl, called the meeting to order at 8:10 p. M. anddeclared there was Ð. quorum present. The Moderatorexamined the warrant and the return thereon and declaredthem in proper order, and announced that the amount of"Free Cash" was $38,043.13.

The Moclerator then proceeded to read aloud the warr¿nt.VOTED: To dispense with the reøding of the separate

articles in tlt e warrant at tlt;is titne.

FINANCE COMMITTEEGENERAL REPORT

The first six articles in this warrant deal with the proposeclinstallation of the Boston Edison high tension power lines inSudbury. - White certain of these ãrticles do not direcflyrequest funcls, their execution may possibly involve thêexpenditure of town funds in the future.

The Finance Committee is concerned only with the annro-priation of money, and it is not ivithin the Cômmittee's pêivueto malçe other than fiscal recommenclations

Without prejuclice toward the issue, we believe thatã. The passage of Article 1 entails no financial commit-

ment.b. Affirmative action on Articles 2 through 5 may com-

mit town funds.

The recommendation of this committee on Article 6, whichspecifrcally calls for an appropriation of 925,000.00 rvill bernade at the time this article is broug'ht to the flóor.

Article 1. To see if the Town will vote to approve or giveits consent to tÌre construction of over.head tranimission linesit th" Torvn b)'Boston Edison Company over the route author-ized by the decision of the Department of Public Utilities rnadeon August 3, 1960 with sudh changes and modifications asmay be macle in such route for the benefit of the Town or theproperty owners upon and through whose land said lines willbe constructecl by agreement between the Board of Selectmen

and Boston Edison Company, which said route as authorizedis as follows:

The line will extend from the petitioner's Sudbury substa-tion in a general easterly direction crossing the Sudbury-Wayland town line a distance of 0.6 miles to a point, thencenortheasterly crossing the Boston and Maine Railroad rightof way and the Boston Post Road a distance of 0.3 miles to apoint, thence generally northerly crossing Old Sudbury Road,the Wayland-Sudbury town line, Water Row Road and LincolnRoad, a distance of. 2.8 miles to a point; thence northwesterlycrossing Concord Road, the New York, New Haven & Hart-ford Railroad right of way, North Road and the Sudbury-Concord town line, a distance of 1.6 miles to a point; thencervest-northwesterly crossing Dakin Road, the Concord-Sud-bury town line and Marlboro Road, a distance of 1.7 milesterminating at a proposed substation site on the Sudbury-Maynard town line all substantially as shown on a plan onfile with the Department entitled, "Boston Edison Company -Key Map of Transmission Line Sudbury to Maynard - ScaleL" :2000'June 11, 1960" and further identifred as exhibit 1,in the proceedings before the said Department of PublicUtilities; and that the Board of Selectmen be authorized toconsult with and negotiate with Boston Edison Company forthe aforesaid changes and modifications, and to assent to anypetition to the Department of Public Utilities for the approvalof such modifications and changes. Pass any vote or take anyaction relative thereto.

Submitted by the Selectmen.

Report of Board of Selectmen:

"The Board of Selectmen believe that, at the outset of thistown meeting the voters ought to know rn'hy it li'as called.

On August 1, 1960 a group of citizens of the Towu met atthe Town Hall ostensibly for the purpose of discttssing thematter of the petition broug'ht by Boston Edison Company,then pencling before the Massachusetts Department of PublicUtilities for the determination by that department that pro-posed transmission lines extending from the petitioner's sub-station in East Sudbury through Sudbury, Wayland, Concord,Acton and Maynard to a sub-station neal the corner of thetowns of Acton, Sudbury, Maynard and Concord, a distance ofabout seven miles, âre necessary, will serve the public con-venience and are consistent with the public interest.

Earlier, on June 21st, a hearing was held in the town hallby the Department of Public Utilities, at which mâny citizensof the town'lvere present.

Sh.ortly after the meeting of August Lst, the Board ofSelectmen were handecl a copy of a vote adopted thereat,rvhich reads as follows:

such meeting agenda to be limited to questions con-cerning the proposed high tension lines requested bythe Boston Edison Company."

The Citizens Committee did not submit any of the severalarticles appearing in the rn'arrant fol this meeting, nor didthey suggest, except as to that which appears in that vote, theform or content of the articles to be inserted in the warrant'It can easily be seen that excluding the subject matter of¡raragraphs b), c), e) and f) of such vote, because of themeagre information furnishecl, no proper al'ticle coulcl be pre-pared.

The Selectmen rvoulcl not ignore the request made throughthe vote of the citizens commiitee to calt t;tà.iat ¡ô;n-mðet-ing,;, and, after serious consideration

. Now, a brief stateme¡t regarding the proposed transmis-sron lines and the knowleclge of theßetectineri from the timeit^ ypq ^o¡^isinallV

projected. Some time during -tfre-

wlnter- of1959-1960 the Board of selectmen had seveîal conferenceswith. representatives of Boston Edison company ai *l"tiãt th"construction of new transmission lines rroin ttre sub-stationin E+qt Sudbury was discussed. It was pointéd ó.rt to-'it eboard that such tlansmission lines were neèessary if ilre com-pany \4¡ere to maintain efficient service and furniih electricityin lhe North Sudbury area and in the nearby ôo**u"iiie,which it is authorizecl to serve. The selectmeir, ai inð

"ervbeginning of their discussions,,stated that they "'ãì:u-oppor"äto the construction of overhead lines whenevei and rvheiever

located and asserted that they should be placed unaereiõunâ,and,.in this instance,,urged the Boston bdison Comõany tóconstruct underground lines. It -was pointecl out to ttrenã ¡vrepresentatives of the company that the cost of the construc-tion- of -unclerground lines waÀ prohibitive; and, in no àvõntwould tþ c^oqlnaqy consider dqiñg so. The.apparent urgencyancl need of the transmission lines were stréssecl bv oñcialiof the compan-y;_and at the first of such conferencei,'fl.,e com-qany proÞ_osed that the route thereof extend northerly overGoodman Hilt and across the town to the site of the próposeclsub-station at the corner formed by the tor,vn lines of Sud-bury, Maynard, Concord and Acton. The l¡oard made a

strenuous protest against that route, and suggestect that if itwere not expeclient to construct undergrouncl lines, that theoverhead lines be located in that part of the town ívhere theinjury-caused to the torvn and the property owners would bemuch less than over the proposed-roüte, ând offered as theonly feasible alternate route the area oier the low lands ator near the Sudbury River, to the proposed site for the newsub-station. We -ere assúred that a route locatecl in thepart of the town which we mentionecl would receive theearnest consideration of the company, and th¿t we would beinformed if the company decided to trietition the Departmentof Public Utilities for authority to establish the route of itslines in that area. The selectmen heard nothing further fromBoston Edison Company.

In the late part of April the Board of Selectmen rvereinfolmed by two prominent citizens of the town that therehad been and thele \¡/as c_urrently considerable activity on theÞQr! of Boston Edison Company in the town in coirnectionwith the construction of trañsmission lines; and at or aboutthe same time, or shortly afterward, the planning boardappointed a committee of citizens to consult wittr representa-tives of that company. Thereafter, a conference oi confer-ences was or \Mere had at which the committee of citizens andrepresentatives of the company took part; and there resultedfrom such conferences another location foi. the overheacl lineswhich were later approved by the Department of publicUtilities. Notrvithstanding the appointment of the citizenscommittee by the planning board,- we were concerned with asatisfactory- location of the proposed lines, and, it seemed thatthe matter had been considèred fully by'the Committee, anda loc.?tion finally agreg{ upon, whiðli, in the circumstánces,was the best that could be had. It appears that the membersof the eitizens committee urged the

-construction of under-ground_lines and als,o advocated the rights of way of the Bos-ton & Maine and New York, New Hãven & I{ártford Rail-roads as suitable locations for the transmission lines, andthey were^told, as the board of selectmen had been toldj thatthe cost of underground lines was prohibitive and woulcl notbe consiclered, and that the rights of way of the two railroadswere not practical, even if arrangements could be made withthe railroads for the use of such locations as the cost ofacqniring necessary additional land or intercsts in lanrl wouldbe too. costly. We should lihe to quote from the report of thatcommittee to Mr. Ja-ckson, Chairman of the planning l3oard,which was read and made a part of the proceedingìs at théhearing before the Departmenfof Public Utìlities on iune 21stthe following:

"The committee feels that the present route as ouflinedon the attached map will be less offensive to the townthan the original route. The new route will clestroy land

Page 112: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

of less taxable value than the previous route and will beout of view by the majority of home owners in Sudbury."The above iriformation is being submitted as a report ofthe committee. We feel that regardless of where the lineis placed it will offend some people. We feel that the newprõposal will offend as few people as possible."(Transcript-pp. 71, 72 and 73)

The Department of Public Utilities, on August 3, 1960,made the following decision:

", the Department is of the opinion and herebyDETERi\{INES that the proposed line is necessary forthe purposes alleged, will serve the public convenienceand is consistent with the public interest."

Within the time allowed by law the town counsel took anappeal in behalf of the Town of Sudbury to the SupremeJudicial Court for the County of Suffolk (Single Justice Ses-sion) and there has been compliance with all the requirementsof law to perfect the appeal.

We are submitting to the town meeting for its considerationand action the entire matter of the erection of overheacltransmission lines as we understand it."

REPORT OF THE ASSESSORS

The Board of Assessors are continuing their efforts toestablish the new system of assessing property voted by theTown three years ago. We believe, from our experience inthis effort, that the prime interest of the taxpayers is thatthey be assessed on an equitable basis with their neighborsand the rest of the townspeople.

The formula recommended by the state was used by theBoard of Assessors to determine all assessments on homes in1960. This system of assessment was thoroughly explaineclin the 1959 Town Report and also at numerous meetings dur-ing the past year. In order to assure the success of thissystem it is necessary to have a detailed hnowledge of eachdwelling. To keep the system up-to-date all changes, addi-tions, and worh done on previously unfinished houses must beaccurately checl<ed each year. At the present time fourhundred to five hundred houses in this category will have tobe checked in detail. This will be time consuming in additionto the regular duties of the Bo¿rd.

A number of surrounding towns are employing full or part-time assistance, whichever is necessary, to do their field work.To serve the townspeople properly this Board favors adoptingthis method and thereby recommends in this year's budget,a sum of money to be spent for this work.

In 19,60 the increased valuation totalled somewhat less thanfour million dollars, the Raytheon plant making up approxi-mately twenty-five per cent of this amount. The Board ofAssessors does not anticipate any such increase this year. Ifexpenditures keep rising at a faster rate than the valuation,as has been the pattern for the past few years, the tax burclenfor the coming year may be reason for concern.

It is our belief that Real Estate Taxes have reached alimit, and additional wealth must be attracted in order to con-tinue the increasing services demancled of the Town.

Please bear in mind that approximately every $15,000 votedby you at Town Meeting is one dollar added to your tax rate.

'l'he cases indicated (*) above were limited by provisionssafeguarding the interest of the Town and ale a public recor<lon file in the office of the Town Clerk.

The cases indicated (t'*) were cases in which the Board ofSelectmen appealed to Superior Court for reversal of the deci-sions of the Board of Appeals. The cases were dismissed. Thedecisions of the Board of Appeals stand and permits have beenissued.

At the annual business meeting of 1960, the Board took thefollowing action:

Arthur L. Singer, Jr., was elected Chairman, succeedingWalter Iì. Ilichler who has accepted the appointment as theBoarcl of Appeals' relrresentative on the Earth Removal Roacl.Mr. I-Iickler also retains his ¡rosition as a member of the Boardof Appeals. The Boai'cl expressed appreciation for \{r. I-Iicl<-ler's past service as Chairman.

Edwai'cl E. Kreitseh was re-elected Clerk of the Board.

In 1959, the lequirement for legal advertising for Board ofAlrpeals hearings was changed by State law, requiring trvoweeks' advertising instead of one. In order to have the costsof healings covered by the aplrlication fees, the Board votedto increasè the fee to $10.00, effective June lst, 19,60. It hasl¡een established that variances or permits requested of thcBoarcl of Appeals ai'e slrecial privileges sought by certainindivicluals and part of the cost to the Torvn shotlld be bornel:y tlie applicauts. Any applicant may, for valid leasons,lequest waivel of fee, which the Board can grant. The Boardmembers, of course, receive no salary or fee, ancl the moneycollected is used to cover cost of advertising, stationery,¡rostage, recortl books, etc.

An amendment to Section J-8 of Clraptei' 40-A of the Gen-elal Laws of the Commonwealth, enacted April 18, 1960, ancleffective July 18, 1960, I'equires that all Permits ancl Variances

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTHANNUAL REPORT FOR 1960

During 1960 the Board of Health held 24 scheduled meet-ings and continued its efforts to develop a long-range compre-hensive public health program for the Town by focusing- ontwo major objectives: (1) The extension of well-defrnecloperating programs in sever¿l new directions; and (2) theclevelopment of much needed new program areas.

Under the first categoryments:

1. Commanicable Disease

are the following accomplish-

Preaention qnd, ControlWith the growth of the Town and the acldition of sev-eral sorely needed private physicians, the distributionof vaccines, toxoids, blood sera, et al, has becomeincreasingly important. The Board of Health purchaseda refrigerator for the storage of these pr:odttcts, devel-oped policies for their distribution to schools and p4vatephysicians, centr¿lized the entire operation in the TownHall.

2. Continuati,on of Pol;i,o Immuniz,ution ProgramA follow-up clinic was held in the Town Hall on May 25with Dr. Tristan in charge and 265 people took aclvan-tage of this. If polio epiclemics are to be prevented, thisprogram must be continued indefinitely or until newprotective measures are developed.

3. Contirnmtion of Rabi,es Control Pt'ograntsFor the third consecutive yeat, a rabies inoculatiotrclinic was held. Each year large numbers of clogs arebeing protected, and this year 190 dogs were inoculated.As in former years, expert assistance was obtaiueclfrom Harry Rice, Dog Offlcer.

4. School Dental Clíni,cs

Because of the increased number of children neeclingdental care, several additional clinic sessions were helclfor the Fairbank school group during May and June.

5. Tuberculosi,s Control ProgramIn adclition to the on-going public health uursiug sur'-veillance of ail cases ancl contacts, a community-ividechest X-ray survey was helcl cluring October', in coop-eration with the Middlesex Tuberculosis ancl HealthAssociation and the Suclbur¡' Public Health NursingAssociation.

6. Mosqui.to ControlIn preceding years, the Board was not involved directlyin tfris proãräm. 'During 1960, the Selectmen inviteclthe Boaid õf Health to meet with them and discuss along-range, year-round mosquito control program. Thisres.:rltedin-the introduction of an article in the warrantof the June 27 Town Meeting, calling for the establlsh-ment of a Mosquito Control Study Committee' Onemember of the Board u'ill continue to serve on this re¡r-resentative Town Committee.

New program developments were realized in the followingareas:

1. Periodic Inspection of All Scl¿ool CaleteriasAt the request of the Superintendent of S-chools, theBoard of ilealth has set up a program of quarterlyinspections of all school cãfeterias. Reports -of allinsþections are sent directly to the Superintendent ofSchools with any lecommendations that need follow-up.The lìrst round of inspections indicated that our schoolcafeterias ranlc eæceþtionaUA laigh in all sanitationindi,ces.

2. Inspecti,on of Nurserv Schools

During L960 the Board began applying the regulationspassed in September, 1959, relative to the operation ofnursery schools and day care centers. lVe are pleasedto repõrt that our nursery schools are among the bestin Mãssachusetts and that the owners and operatorshave cooperated with the Boarcl in every possible u'ay'

3. Med,ical Aduisory Comm'ittee

Di's. Adelson, Nicholson, and Tristan have volttuteei'edtheir services in working rvith the Board to formulatemedical policies ancl procedures pertaining to the opera-tion of all clinics sponsored by the Boarcl ancl to theevaluation of the school health progi'am. They havealready established sueh policies and procedures for theoperation of our first diabetes detection clinic.

.1. Dictbetes Detection PrograntRepresentatives of the Sudbury Public Health NursingAsiociation ancl Board of Health have met twice withcorresponding members of the Wayland Nursing Asso-ciation and Bbard of Health to devise a comprehensivediabetes cletection program for the two towns. Con-snltants from the Massachusetts State Department ofHealth and the U. S. P. H. S. have advisecl the groupfrom thc beginning. Fttrther joint meetings will be

held monthly thi'ough April, rvhen the detection pt'o-gram will be launchecl.

i¡. Statentent of Pol;icies for the Joi,nt Operation of theSucl,but'u Publi.c Ilealth Nursing Associ,ation and theSud,but'u BoarrJ of Healtlt,Since the nursing service is such an integral and essen-tial part of most public health prggrams, clearcut p.oli-cies are necessary to insure smooth program operatiou,especially in the event of an incipient epiclemic or thepossible spread of a serious communicable disease.Medical, nursing, and public health responsibilities mustbe clearly definecl if the health of our community is tobe protected. Members of the SPHNA, together withthe Boarcl, clevelopecl a working draft of this muchneedecl policy ancl procedure manual during 1960. Thisis now in opelation and will be revisecl froln time totime as nelv meclical and public health clevelopmentsclemand.

lVe should lil<e to acl<nowledge with thanlçs the serviceslendered to the dental clinic during the fii'st half of 1960 byA. M. Belton, D.D.S. and to express oul regret at his lesigna-tion. In October', \\¡e wele fortunate to secure the services ofanother rvell-qualifiecl dentist, Martin Nichols, I).M.I)., to filìthe vacancy in the dental clinic.

Michael Tristan, M.D., and William Aclelson, M.f)., sharedthe administration of the monthly well child conferences spon-sored and fìnanced by the Boarcl of Health with the assistanceof membels of the staff of the Nursing Association.

As in previous years, frequent inspections wele macle of thcSanitary L,and Fill and, as always, it rvas found to be in anexcellent, sanitary condition. It is receiving statewide recog-nition as one of the best lancl fill operations heleabouts.

We wish herewith to cxpress our appleciation to all thoscin other Tolvn departments and agencies'vvho cooperatecl withus in our efforts to develop a ìnore comprehensive publichealth progrâm for onl rapidly increasing population.

Vely special thanhs are clue to Mrs. Vera Presby for helunwavering devotion to all pi'ogram activities, clee¡: sense ofresponsibility, boundless patience, ancl ethical hanclling of allproblems and requests. Without her cornpetent, conscientiousassistancc, progress rvould not have been possible.

A radio was installed in the Town Barn tonotify the l-Iighway Department of fallen trees and otherclebris on the roads. Selectman Trussell cont¿cted the EdisonCompany and they sent us a man equipped with a raclio. Asreports of fallen wires filtered into the control center, theywére relayed via radio to the Town Barn where the Edisonman stationed himself. He r¿dioed the information to hisCompany and they in turn gave instructions to the rovingtrdisòn fruck that was in Torvn. One example of how efficientthis system proved to be, we received a call from our surveyteam reporting burning rvires down on the Post Road.Within eight minutes, the Edison men had arrived on thescene and cut the wires. Operations were secured at 2000hours.

¡\ new clivision was added to our department hnown asScuba or Underwater Rescue. All the equipment necessar)¡

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

December 31, 1960

Board of SelectmenTown of SudburySudbury, Mass.Gentlemen:

The following is my report on the activities ancl conditionof the Fire Department for the year 1960.

Two hundred and one alarms for emergency service wer.ereceived at headquarters as follows:

26 for fires involving buildings63 for grass and brush fires20 for motor vehicle fires6 chimney fires8 rubbish fires4 resuscitator calls3 accidental alarms1 out of town call2 oil burner fires5 motor vehicle accidents

15 rescue calls1 trip to hospital with injured person3 false alarms2 lockoutsL electrical fire

13 for burning Edison wiresL0 for pumping floodecl cellars18 miscellaneolrs

'fhe number of grass and brush fires increascd for the year1960. Trventy of these fires were set by chilclren. Parentsshould try to keep matches awây from small children. 2L82permits to do burning in the open air were issued over thetelephone. When calling for a permit please use the businesstelephone number 2239. The emergency telephone number.2323 is to be used only for reporting a fire or other emergency.No sclrool information will be given over ihe 2323 line. Over1200 telephone calls were answered by the fire department.ment.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEMThe fire alarm system \Äras colìnected to the Methodist

Church builclings. The municipal fire alann system wasextencled along Dutton Road from Hurlson Roacl to BartonIlrive and connectecl to the alarm s)¡stem in the Halper sub-clivision which was a gif.t to the Town. Also along LandhamRoacl from the Post Roacl to the Framingham line rvith alarm

boxes at all street corners. The system was also extendedalong Ames lìoad to connect the DiRen sub-division alarm sys-tem. Both the Loring and Nixon school fire alarm systemswere also tied in to the municipal system. The new Raytheonplant on the Post Road also has a fire alarm box in the guardoffice. A fire alarm box was installecl on Taylor Road a1 theexpense of the developer.

The 1961 fire department budget includes the same amountof money as previous years to extend the alarm systemtowards North Sudbury as follows:

Candy Hill, Concord Road to Pantry Road to Haynes Roadto Marlboro Road to Mossman Road and along Mossman Roadconnecting with the Johnson sub-division alarm system to beinstalled at i\{r. Johnson's expense. Then along Haynes Roadþy the school site to North Road connecting with the Ferigno& lValker sub-division alatm systen,. Fire alarm systemsmust be installed in all sub-divisions at the expense of thedeveloper.

iVTANPOWER

The manpowei'situation in the daytime is still critical. Twoadditional permanent lìrefighters were added in April makinga total of six. This provides two men on duty at the centerstation at all times. Each shift works 56 hours per weeh.There are norff 14 call firemen with only about 4 to 6 duringweek days. The 1961 salary budget proïides for 3 additionaipermanent firefig'hters to man the nerv fire station now beingconstructed in South Sudbury. There will be one man on dutyat all times, each one worlçing 56 hours per week.

FIRE STATIONSIn 1960 the town ¡rurchased two fire station sites, one in

South Sudbury and one in North Sudbury. The Town votedfunds in June to construct a fire sub-station in South Sudbury.After many delays, construction has started on the station.The same building is aclaptable to both sites. Construction ofalmost 200 dwellings in North Sudbury has started. Thismeans that before long there will be about 400 ctwellings anda 20 room school to protect in the North Sudbury area. TheNorth Sudbury sub-station will have to be constrûcted in thenear future.

APPARATUS

Funds are being requested at the 1961 Annual Town meet-ing to purchase a Class A fire truck to be housed in the Southfire station. This is necessary in order to obtain insurancereductions for everyone within 3 miles of the new st¿tion.At present the clepartment has only one piece of fire appara-

GOODNO\ø LIBRARY REPORT' 1960

With the rapid glowth of the town and continued use of thelibrary and space needs in the very near future, it has beenfound necessaly to mal<e plans for the addition of a wing tothe library. Towns with libraries of similar size have beenvisited and architects have been interviewed by both thelibrary and permanent building committee.

The past year has been a busy one and we are pleased toi'eport a circulation in the adult department of 38,232 and24,867 in the children's department. 480 new borrowers havebeen registerecl in the adult department and 477 in thejuvenile department during 1960. Of course, this is not anaccurate figure for seve¡:al members of the family sometimesuse one card.

Numerous reference as well as general books have beenadded to the library to facilitate the school summer readingÌrrogram. Books have been shelved in a special section to makeit more convenient for the students. It is interesting to notethat many adults frnd this section attractive to their tastesbut as much as we like to have the adults use this section, itis hoped that they will refrain from doing so during the sum-mer reading program. For even though we have many extracopies, it never seems to be quite adequate to meet thestudent need.

Book Week was celebrated by the purchase of many newbooks and the liresentation of Pinocchio in costume by Mrs.Virginia I-Ioward who has been so generous with her time atthe library. This program was tremendously enjoyed by thechildren. At the first presentation, the attendance was 95chilclren ancl two days later at a second performance 72attended. Mrs. Janet }Iowe Cawley also very kindly gave ustime and the older children were entertained by many dogstories which she told. We felt book week to be very satis-factory. Additional story hours have been held at varioustimes during the year with Mrs. Howard doing the story tell-ing and the attendance has been very gratifying.

A most interesting display of Indian relics, excavated floma site in Cochituate by Mr. Leslie Longworth and Mr. AlfredMansfìeld, were on display at the library. These relics weleestimated to be 3,500 years old and the exact race of peoplewere unknown. Many people from Sudbury as well as sur-lounding towns visited the exhibition.

We wele fortunate to have two lovely Art exhibitions, oneby Miss Jill Corvie of St. Hubert's school and the other byMrs. Grace Way. Their oils were greatly appreciated.

REPORT OFGOODNO\ø LIBRARY CENTENNIAT

COMMITTEE

John Goodnow's bequest in 1862 to the Town of Sudbury ofland and money for a library building, as well as money forbooks, made possible the seconcl oldest free public library inMassachusetts, although there were at that time a few othertowns which circulated books from stores or private homes.

The Goodnow Library Centennial Committee, in co-opera-tion with the library trustees, plan the 100th AnniversaryCelebration in three phases. The first phase, covering the first100 years, will be an exhibit of old pictures, manuscripts, andother material of historical interest relating to the earìy days.The second phase will feature contemporary Sudbury,s con-tribution to the library. The committee plans to include in thissection exhibits by Sudbury's artists and writers. The thirdphase will be an attempt to project the role of the library inthe town for the next 100 years, showing how the librar¡,plans to expand to meet the growing needs of the town.

The Centennial Committee welcomes suggestions andassistance of anyone interested in helping to develop andcarry out the CentenniaÌ observance.

THE HISTORIC STRUCTURES COMMISSION

The Loring Parsonage has been par.tially restored and itsexterior appearance now displays the refined taste of thepre-Revolutionary architecture. The windows of proper 12over 12 construction replace the later ones of 6 ovei 6fwhichhad fallen into a bad and hopeless state of repair.' Otherþproveme,nts include restoratiõn of a fine Mictdlèsex county,Georgian doorway with correct harchvare. The entire build-]ng_has b.een scraped, renailecl and painted wiilr two coats oflead jn oil paint in an appropriate tgttr century color whichclosely approximates añ- oarlier paint discovered in testscraping. Future improvements will include the removal ofthe shed extension and proper landscaping.

Resulting from a thorough and caleful study of proposecluses.for the_partially restored "Loring Parsonãge" fhe

-Com-

mission on Historic Structures has thelollowing iecommencla-tion:

A. Vacating present occupants in near future to town'sconvenlence.

B. Restoring inter.iol gr.ound floor to function as a prac-ti^cal heaclquarters for small civic groups.(See proposed Plan)

C. 1. Area designatecl as historical society will berestored by them.

2. Area as Commissiort r.vill be heaclquartels for con-sultation service free of charge tb Sudbury resi-clents interested in proper restõration of privatelyownecl buildings within the Community. Membersof Commission rvill extend this service to enhancethe traditional environment of Historic Sudbury.

3. Meeting area to be restor.ed with meeting housebenches ancl colonial lectern ancl ivill be aì¡ailableto various groups as Ladies Club, Garclcn CIub andsmall group meetings of 40 or less etc., whereatmospher:e backgronncl is clesirecl.

It is..impossible for the Commission to evaluate potentiale-xpenditure under its present occupancy plan ancl we suggestthat we submit detailect cost accoulit at-tiine of vacancy.""

Also being considerecl is the possibility of housing suchg'roups as the planning boald, etc.-in second flooi' projeclion.

REPORT OFSUDBURY INDUSTRIAT DEVETOPMENT

COMMISSION

To the Honor¿ble Board of Selectmen:

The Industrial Development Commission regrets that ithas not accomplished its work this year. Although at leastas much time, effort, and money have been expendecl as usual,courting desirable industrial prospects, no trip has reached thealtar. And we end the year with no very good prospects for1961.

At St. Germain's report shows nearly a million and a halfclollars worth of industrial construction for which permitswere tal<en; but even that is a million short of the value ofresidential permits. In our best year we still fell behind by amillion clollars in our attempt to balance commercial and resi-dential building.

In conjunction with the Engineering Department, plans ofall industrial and business property, as well as pertinentinformation, are being worked up.

Citizens, we need good industrial prospects !

If you pick up even â small scrap of information about agood industrial 1ìrm which might locate here, relay it at once

to any member of the Commission. We will observe absolutelyany degree of confidence you or the prospect requests.

Respectfully submitted,

ABEL CUTTING, Chairman,Sudbury Industrial Development Commission'

REPORT OFINSECT AND PEST CONTROL DEPARTMENT

To the Citizens of Sudbury:The past year our sanitation efforts to remove diseased

trees was made as soon as utility cooperation to remove cableswas made in some cases.

Spraying a heavy dormant spray onto the trees after frostdamages in early spring gave a more satisf actory coverage.

Dormant spraying permits, more D.D.T. use, plus moregallons per tree. Trees near hay fields may be done with nohazard,. Birds and bees, safer and less car hinclerence. ElmBeetle feeding was noticeably lighter.

REPORT OFTHE LINCOLN-SUDBURY REGIONAL DISTRICT

SCHOOT COMMITTEE

In June 1960 the Regional I-Iigli Scbool graduated the firstclass that*had. completed all four of its hiþh school years atthe new "Regional." Much which has been- learned from thecompletion _of our first full production cycle has beenincorporated in our operating poiicy.

In June 1960 worh on the first adctition to ilre building gotseriously^ r1-nde¡ yqy. Tle.adclitional space to l¡e macle ieíavby the fall of 1961 witl increase the- total capacity of ilreschool to somewhere near 1100. At the close bf 1ö60, con-struction was going forward on schedule uncler ilre criróctionof a decÌicated building committee made up of John R. French,Cþgi"*q, Erlgs_t P.-Neumann, a4cl Mr"s. Norman l{apgoociof Lincoln, ancl Mrs. Alan B. Stott, Secretary, Allan G. Bälry,

and K. L. Throckmorton of Sudbury. These individuals i'ichlydeserve the deep appreciation they have won from this Com-mittee and the two communities for their painstaking ancltime-consuming service in planning and directing this largeand complex capital improvement.

In September 1960 the Regional High School commencedits fifth year of operation with a total enrollment of 635 anda teaching ancl supervisory staff of. 44. This compares withan enrollment, of.247 and a staff of 19 when the school openedin 1956.

There is no basic change in the Comrnittee's policy or out-lool< to report. Our objective, as previously stated, is to pro-vide each individual student an excellent educational oppor-tunity in a stimulating educational environment.

In pursuit of this objective, the Committee endeavors todirect its attentions at regular intervals to the quality of eachof the essential parts of the school's operation. These are thestaff, both teaching and supelvisory, the curriculum, theguidance program, the so-called "activities" which includeathletics, publications, etc., the physical facilities and thenecessary housekeeliing services, such as transportation, cafe-teria, etc.

The Comrrittee can report that it is lrleased with thequality and level of performance thus fai' attainecl in each ofthese areas. Wh.ile v/e are not always entirely satisfied withall of the particulars in a system expanding so rapidly, welecognize that growth brings opportunity for improvementin many ways, such as in the diversity of curriculum and instudent programming. It also reduces the reach of the proventeachers over the entire stuclent body ancl requires annualadditions to staff who, in their turn, must prove themselvesand adjust to the system. Not all do, or ever will, in this orany other school.

Finally, the Committee has a great linancial responsibilityto the two towns. While money alone will not obtain goocleducation, good education will not be obtained without money.I-Iow much the communities want and how to tahe fair measut'eof their ability and willingness to pay for this is the Commit-tee's most difficult task. We welcome more assistance than hasthus far been obtained from public budget hearings and otherlimited oppoi'tunity to poll public opinion.

The Committee is indebted to our Su¡rerintendent, C. New-ton I-Ieath, and our Princilial, Leslie M. Tourville, for guidancein the formulation of policy and for its faithful and exceed-ingly competent execution. trVithout question, the school'sgreatest asset is its staff of people, wìro in all levels of leslronsi-bility, Irave joined together in a remarkably harmoniotts

REPORT OFTHE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

To the School Committee:

This fìfth Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schoolsreviews. significant phases of the oþeration, program, andevaluation of our activities.

. The.continued growth of the school has necessitated expan-sion of the teaching staff. Through our teacher recruitrñentprogram this past year, three mèmbers were added to thefaculty, and there were thirteen staff replacements. Thesestaff selections were made from approximalely three hundredapplications. To aid in the recruitment program a brochure isbeing prepared for distribution to various graduate schoolplacement ofiices and other placement agencies-.

'lhe position of vice principal has been placed on a twelvemonths basis. During the summer of 1g60 three members ofthe English department, two from the mathematics area, anda representative of the þistory department were empioyedon a limited basis to develop curriculum materials. The 1þ61bg{get provides for a1:proximately one fourth of the presentstaff to work on an eleven month basis. Such provision willenhance our academic offerings through impròved courses,creation of teaching devices, and development õf materials foi.large group instruCtion

Our new-_ building will relieve our present crowding andm.aFg p.opsible a reflnement of our class group sectloningwhich this year has been a handica¡r to the fùncti,oning of ourschedule ancl lrrogram offerings. Thè availability of thã lecturehall, the improved and enlarged library, an isoiated industrialarts area, increased and improved science rooms, and enlarged¡rhysical education space will improve our total olreration.

Dr. Leslie I\{. Tourville, Principal of the Regional HighSchool, reports on the following:

, "Th-e presentation of this qnnug! report marks the compìe-tion of our lirst four-y_ear cycle with tlie graduation of ninêty-four members of the class of 1-960. During these four years ófoperation the school has begun to develop patterns- and toaccumulate statistics rvhich reflect its growth.-Below âre someof these statistics, prepared by Mr. Paul Vernon, Director ofGuidance, which may illustrate some of the schoól,s activitiesin the area of acaclemic achier¡ement.

SUMMARY

. - " 'þoys: {ro* the statistics above it is clearly indicatedthat our "academically talented" boys of the class ôf 1g5g farexceeded Dr. Conant's recommendations. They have electedMathematics, Science, English, Social Studieé and ForeignLanguage to a vastly greater degree than he has suggestédfor an 'adequate' high school program. Dr. Conant recom-mended that a majority of the boys should elect 1T academiccourses in four yeârs, and we find that L007o of our boyselected l-7 courses and of these 70/o elected 1g academiccourses.

"'Girls - The "academically talented" girls of the class of1959 did not fare as well as their male counterparts in theevaluation of the high school courses they elected. The abovefigures reveal that the girls elected an adequate number ofcourses in English, Social Studies and Foreign Languages.However, they failed to elect sufficient courses in Mathematics

Page 213: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

2tt

and Science and a majority did not elect L7 academic coursesin four years as is recommended.

CONCLUSION"'Flom this study it would appear that our "academically

talented" boys are pursuing very adequate scholastic programswhile a majority of the "academically talented" girls are notelecting the rigorous academic program of which they arecapable. It would seem that one of the tasks of the schoolstaff and the parents of these academically cal¡able girls willbe to induce them to elect courses of the number ancl rigor¿s those taken by our boys.

"'It is interesting to note that this pattern of divelgencebetween boys and girls is a national one as indicated in thefindings of Dr. Conant's Study. It suggests that while thegirls take courses which will assure them of college admissionsthey may not feel the need to extencl themselves in furthei'mastery of Mathematics and Science because of a failure toiclentify themselves with a lifetime career in these areas.'

"The Regional Fligh School has continued its lrrogram ofcurriculum improvement during the past year despite thelestrictions of the overcrowded building. A new approachthrough materials and methods ìyvas made to students of shortinterest si:an and limited reading ability in the study of I-Iis-tory. In the English Department a simple "learning machine"rvas introduced and promises to be an effective teaching aid.A text r.vas written by members of the Matliematics Depart-ment and is being used. The Business Department added acourse in Business Organization and Management. It alsocontacted one hunclred business offices and stores with a ques-tionnaire clevised f<¡r further curliculum improvement.

"In the area of Physical Education and interscholasticsports the school has maintained a highly creditable record.Over the past four years the teams have achieved a winningpercentage of.75% of all games played, while the soccer teamìras won four straight Eastern Massachusetts championships.Our major focus, however, continues to be on the body-builcl-ing aspects of calisthenics, gymnastics, tumbling, and intra-mural sports which affect all students.

"'lhe daily schedule of classes was revised in September topermit a period of each day for the Music program to function.This ha.s led to the establishment of choral groups rangingfrom seventy-five to two hundred students in size, as well asa forty-five piece school orchestra. The revised daily scheclulealso permits the expansion of a tutorial period which is now inoperation an average of four days per week to assist stuclentsin remedial and enrichment instruction.

"Our school publications received awards and certificates ofmerit in national competition while the dramatic group

qepe-ated its success of 195g and won top honors in the NewEngland-competitio¡r. We are, howevãi,, ü-p"*.¿'ì"n^ifruare_as of Music and Dramatics bÍ the lacl<

'or auaitoriü*-ino""and special rooms needed for thðse and oilrer. piiãiãïäï-sãrriolactivities.

. "College placement has been enhanced by constant visitsïrom ând to the college admissions officeis. We find ourcandidacy well received ãnd the placement of our stuaä"i. ñutbeen ïavorable and gratifying.

_ "Duringthg n;rs_t summer two boys and three girls from theSegional Iligþ Scþool participated in the Studõnt ExchangeProgram. This school year wè have flrree girls from ñoiwav*lro ?{g visiting Lincoln and Sudbury and ãttenOing the hisirschool."

The following matters need our early consideration:1. The successful activities of the music department have

brought into sharp focus the serious space deliciencv inthe form of music rooms and auditorium. These ai.easshould..be giye¡r- early reconsideration, possibly before wereach the third building stage in 1964-5.

2. We should mahe provision for the establishment of lan-guage laboratory and electronic classroom facilities.

3. Plans should be developed for summer school opportunitiesof an enrichment nature for our students.

4. The continuing growth of the school requires positiveaction in curriculum planning to incorporàte móre Ad-vanced Placement Programs irr our system.

5. Our growth pattern dictates a need for varying educa-liona,l opportunities for our "terminal,' strideñts; i.e.,"work-experience" and courses in civic education.

6. Time for continuous research in curriculum and the con-struction of teaching units and materials should be pro-vided for the staff on an annual summer basis. Funds forthis type of professional activity should be increased eachyear to, insure a greater percentage of our staff beinginvolved on an eleven months basis.

-

There is a real job satisfaction for a superintendent in aschool.system where both the School Committee and the pub-lic believe the most_important single influence for superioreduc¿tion is the total school staff, and where adequate finan-cial support makes this belief a reality. A high degree of stafiprofessionalism couplld with a sincere concern ior makingour guidance centered progrâm really serve the needs of ourhigh school youth, creates an excellerit learning climate.

REPORT OF THEPARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION

During the second year of operation we have held regularmonthly meetings at the Town Hall and a large number ofspecial meetings at the Hall and in the field.

The purchase by the Town of the Featherland Farm propertyhas provided for expansion of the recreational facilities of theTown and long range plans are being considered for thedevelopment of this property. At the present time tenniscourts are under construction at the corner of Concord andMorse Roads. The Sudbury Little League has been granteduse of a portion of the property and a field is under construc-tion which they hope to have in use this year. The SuclburyRifle Club has cleaned and started renovations on one of thebuildings on the property for use by its members and otherinterested townspeople. Test borings have been made to deter-mine the suitability of the area for use as a swimming area"and further studies along these lines are contemplated fôr thecoming year.

During the past summer the Commission has operated theBarton Pool for the smaller children of the town. Two life-g_up{ds were in regular attendance ancl a large number ofchildren made use of this area. In addition to ttris the twopools at the Vassalotti area were in operation most of thesummer. One of these pools is for intermecliate swimmersand the new pool, opened this year, is for more advancedswimmers and is equipped with a diving board. Attendanceat these two pools increased steacìily durìng the summer andwith the improv.ements we hope to make this year, we expectto serve a growing number of teenagers as well as adutts.

The skating rink, donated by the Kiwanis Club last yearwas erected on the pond area at the l{orse Poncl School ¿ndhas had good usage. The basketball areas maintained at theLibrary and in the Pine Lal<es area received almost yeararound usage.

The Commission worked with the Red Cross in securing theWalden Pond facilities for use by the swimming classes and itis hoped that the same arrangement can be maãe for 1g61.

The commission wishes to thank the many people andorganizations that have cooperated with us during the pastyear and we hope to be able to ofrer increased play aieasduring the coming year.

The pro¡rosed twenty room elementary school on the llaynesIìoad site must be started this year to meet the requirementsof occupancy by September 1962. An article requesting anappropriation for this purpose will be presented at the AnnualTown Meetng. The site on Haynes Road is not large enoughfor the twenty room school and an addition of ap1:roximatelyfour acres must be obtained. This proposed twenty room ele-mentary school will follow the general design and constructionthat has proved to be satisfactory in the four nerv elementaryschools alreacly completed and occupied.

The preliminary planning on the extension to the GooclnowLibrary indicates that it will be difficult to develop plans orestimates to present to a town meeting without proceedingfurther into final plans and specifrcations. The peculiar'requirements of a compatible and functional addition to anexisting building that is almost a hundred years old cannotbe properly developed from preliminary plans alone. Anappropriation will be sought at the Annual Town Meeting forsufHcient funds to complete final plans and specifications.

The Committee is pleased to report that all projects com-pleted or in process are within the budget established by thetown a¡r1:ropriation. To date, the town has a¡r¡rropriatecl$1",700,500 for worh of this committee. At the end of 1960$1,405,546 had been expended. To date, we have achieved ourobjective of contracting or completing the builrling withoutneed fol requesting additional funds.

A survey examined by this Committee contains an item ofinterest to Sudbury taxpayers. The average total building costper pupil for Nlassachusetts elementary schools is $1,600. Theå,verage total cost pel pupil for the Sudbury elementary schoolbuilding is $1,168.45 or 27 % less than the st¿te average. Theeconomies ti'iat achieve this lower than average cost have notcompromised the educational function for which the buil<lingsrvere developed.

In 1,960, I\{r. Donald W. Neelon, who had been a member ofthis Committee since its establishment in 1958, resigned. I'Iewas re¡:lacecl by Mr. William S. Warren, appointed by theMoclerator.

REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD

To the Board of Selectmen:

_ I,ast year was the occasion for a major revision of theSalary.and Classification Plans. The new-schedules were putiqto effect by tlre'Iown at the 1960 Annual Town Meeting.The Personnel Board feels that the salary levels then esta6-lished eontinue in the main to reflect equitable wage rates.

Because the Town has grown rapidly in the last few years,however, some of the rates for the part time positions nolonger provicle adequate compensation for the increased workloads involved. Two examples come to mind.

Last year the Town appropriated 9700 for the services ofEuilding and Wiring Ins¡rector. This was a temporary solu-tjon accomplished without formally amending ttie PeisonnelPlan. The Board will recommend this year that the Planbe amended by setting up a separate rate for this positiongiving definite recognition to the fact that the duties-of thisposition must be considered as being in addition to and not a¡rart of those of the Fire Chief.

The work of the Town Accountant has increased to thepoint where a new rate should be set for this position. Aspecific recommendation will be made for the 1961 AnnualTown Meeting.

The Board's main effort this year has been in developingJob Classifications, Standard Personnel Records and uniform

wwwREPORT OF THE PLANNING BO,ARI)

During the year the Planning Boarcl tooli action on the fol-lowing:

9 subdivisions considered, involving 220 lots53 nonsubdivision plans signed11 site plans reviewed

This_replesented about 75% of. the scheduled meeting timeof the Planning Board members.

. Additionally, gur major efforts included a study of the plan-ning Board Subdivision Regulations and a revision whichresulted in requirements which mole zrdequately meet flreneeds of

_ our fast-growÌng community. These Regulations are

on fìle with the Town Clerk and are available upoñ request.Ilegional planning has been discussed on frequent occasions

throughout the year and Planning Boar.d members havedutitllly attended . regional seminars and ineetings helci bythe- Framingham Association of Planning Boards, the Mass. IFedelation of Planning Boards, the Sub-Iìegion 58,'and others. tAt the_.p:esent tjme we do not feel that much has been Iaccomplished in this field, however, we plan to continue ourparticipation in the hope that better things are yet to come.

Through the past year the State has become active. vetagain, in its perennial consideration of our Route 20 By-Þdss.Many hearings have been held in the State l-Iouse bv theDepartment of -Public Works during which two basic pro-posals were made:

(1) Beginning at Robin llood's Ten Acres in Wayland, andgoing west south of the Post Road, returning toRoute.20 just west of Nobscot Road.

'This plan-was

basically approved by .izarious town officialj in bothWayland and Sudbury.

(2) D-ge tg the high cost of the above proposal, the DpWoffered a compromise by-pass proþosãl ivhich began

Page 227: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

225

again at Robin llood's Ten Acres travelling west justsouth of the Post Road and returning to it on the eastside of the Sudbury River. From this point to Land-ham Road in Sudbury they planned to widen andstraighten the existing Route 20. At Landham Roadthe By-Pass would again go westward south of Route20 and return to Route 20 just west of Nobscot Roacl.

At the last ìrearing it was indicated by the Department ofPublic Worl<s that funds were not available for the completeBy-Pass at this time and they were proposing that only thesection on the Wayland side be built for. the present. It isnot now possible for us to predict what the DPWwill do in theSudbury area. Neeclless to say this is a thoroughly discourag-ing situation for the townspeople in their effõrt-to properl-yplan the development of this section of our community.

-

At the L960 Annual Town Meeting the Town voted 912,000to hire professional assistance in devlloping a l\{aster plan. ASteering Committee was formed for th-e purpose of selectinga planning consultant. Our thanks go to the members of thiscommittee for their efforts in making this choice. Afterfrequent meetings and numerous intérviews Mr. CharlesDowne was selected as our consultant. The Planning Boardthen tool< immediate steps to apply for matching funãs fromthe Federal government.

In the early spring it became evident that these fundswould not be immediately available. It was decided by theBggd_ to tahe $2,000 of the funds voted to contract diiectlywith Mr. Downe for the preparation of source data so thatthe gathering of information so urgently needed for ourMaster Plan would be delayed no iõngei^ than necessary.Through the summer months the followlng items were com-pletecl:

1, Base Map2, Land Use Map

a. Topographic mapb. Slopes over L4/oc. Existing Land Used. Local Watersheds

3. Population Maps

- At this time a preliminary report based on this data hasbeen submitted to the Blanning Bôard and is being stuAie¿ an¿edited bv the Board. This mãterial will be madã available inthe near future.

Since the entire Master Plan was estimated to cost approxi-mately $36,000, ancl only the lìrst stage (g12,000) was fünded

Page 228: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

226

¿t the last Annual Town Meeting, the granting of tìre Federalf-unds mahes it possible for the Planniñg Boaid to accomplishStage 2 without requesting further fùnds from the Tõwn.Tho_roughly snarled red tape from here to Washington, by wayof Boston, delayed the granting of the first Federal iundÁ.The most reqent, and final ( ?) knot was untied by unanimousvote of the Special Town Meeting in January, 1961. We havelearned enough from this experiènce not to expect clear sail-ing in the future when dealing with compler governmentalstrqctures, but it is expected that funds for tlie third, andfinal stage will be requested at the Lg62 Annual Town l\{eóting.

A descri¡rtion of the above table of figures is enclosed in thei'eport which is herewith submitted.

What lias the Sudbury Public Ilealth Nursing Associationaccomplished during the year 1960 ? It would be easy to quotethe above list of figures for our answer, but would this give acomprehensive view of our generalized health program ?Would this give a fair picture of the time spent in persuadinga reluctant patient with a diagnosis of tubereulosis to seektreatment for his disease, or would this answer show thevis-ion or hearing which has been saved by good casefrnding,t'eferral and follow-up ? Further, would this ánswer take intoconsideration the anxieties which have been unburdened whenthe public health nurse visits the home for nursing care,ìrealth teaching, or suliervision ? This area of intangibleaccomplishments is a nebulous one - one which is sometimesdifficult to envision, but nevertheless should be talçen into con-sideration when it becomes time to review and evaluate ayear's work.

Before we revert to our original question concerning theaccomplishments of the Sudbury Public l{ealth Nursing Asso-ciation, some time, however, should be spent in reviewing theobjectives of our association and in defining the lerm"generalized health program." Our goals

- pievention of

disease, promotion of health, and care of tire sick - are smallin number, but large in sco¡re, and seem most efficientlyachieved by our coordinated progrâm. This program is onewhich is jointly administered and jointly financecl by officialand voluntaly groups with direct community service per-formed by a single group of public health nurses. In Sudburythe palticipating members are the Lincoln-Sudbury ReEionálS-chool, the Sudbury Public Schools, the Suctbury Board ofI{.eqlth, and the Sudbury Public Health Nursing Àssociation.This type of program not only offers efficiency because of aminimum overlalr of services and continuity of care, but alsooffers an opportunity to gain perspective of the overall healthneeds of the community.

The school liealth program continues to consummate a largeportion of the total time spent in our community health pro-gram, but when the school age popnlation is talien into õon-s-ideration, this time does not appeàr to be out of proportion.l)uring 19,60 tlie school health services remained issèntiallythe. same as tire previous year, with physical examinations,vision and ancliometer screenings, immunizations and tuber-

Page 234: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

292

culin testing, home visitations for purposes of health guidanceand follow-up, and first-aid constituting the progr¿msrendered. The signilicance of these services lies not in theprogram per se, but in the results. For example, the Massa-chuÀetts Division of Maternal and Child l-Iealth Servicesreport that during the past school year, of all school childrenrequired to have a physical examination, only I3o/o weteexámined by their family physician. In Sudbury, 75% of allchildren exámined were seen by their family physician. Thislrercentage is commendable, we believe, because of manyobvious ieasons - the time factor, better facilities, and thefamily physician's relationship to the family unit. Also, isthis nofa positive learning experience which may develop intoa positive health habit?

The vision screening program also commands notice. Ofthe 13? students who failed their vision re-test, 127 stuclentsreceived treatment from an eye specialist. We lil<e to believethat this total resulted partially from good home follow-upand referral. Besides routine immunizations (Diphtheria-Tetanus and Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus) polio rvas addedto the list on the recommenclation of the State Departmentof Public I{ealth. Because of this program 522 students anclschool personnel were immunized.

A discussion of the school health services would be incom-¡ilete r,vithout mention of the home visitation pl'gglam.Through this medium much can be accom¡tlished. We feelthat by making home health visits, more cooperati.on c_an beobtainèd, more family health teaching can be achievecl, anclmore indight into thé whole child carr be gained. Because ofthis philosophy, there has been an upward trend in schoolhealtir visits which we hope will continue during the comingyear.

Although a large portion of time is devoted to lrreplanningand executing the forementioned programq, ot]rer c-qmmunityhealth services should not be overlool<ed. The last Wednesdayin the month remains to be a popular time for the Well-ChildConferences which are held at the Central Nursing Office inthe Junior lligh School Building. These conferences arefinanced by the-sudbury Board of Health and stafied by localpediatricians, a volunteer worker, and the nursing personnelðt ttre S. P. H. N. A. During the past yeav LZ conferenceshave been held, with a total of 133 infants ¿nd chilclren inattendance. This total in itself is not startling, perhaps, butthe fact that 33 infants and children were new to the serviceseems to be indicative of progress in the area of prevention.

The school dental program, which is also financed by-theSudbury Board of Health, continues to serve a need for Sud-bury eiementary school children. A <lental screening was

Page 235: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

233

performed in a segment of our school population last year rvithapproximately t/s of the students found to require immecliateor near-future treatment. 47 of these children received 282flllings and 36 extractions at the school dental clinic.

Community health services during 1,960 also included twopolio immunization clinics which were held during the monthsof May and June. With the combined efforts of the SudburyBoard of Health, the S. P. FI. N. 4., Drs. John Nicholson andMichael Tristan, and many willing volunteers, this programwas deemed successful. If we add the 466 persons whoreceived immunization at these clinics to the number of stu-dents who were immunized at school, the number is mostgratifying.

In our discussion of community services, the X-ray screen-ing program should not be exclucled. This program was helclin October in cooperation with the Middlesex Tuberculosis anclHealth Association, Suclbury Board of I-Iealth, and theS. P. H. N. A. Not'only was'this service offerecl to Sudburyresidents, but was offered to all Sudbury industries as well.Of the 446 residents receiving X-rays, only 2 pelsons requiredfurther follow-up.

In our generalizecl health program, nursing care to tlie sickhas remained a small but valuable service. In the past yearthe number of nursing visits has decreased somewlrat and asyet it is difficult to determine the causative factor. It possiblymay be that oral drugs are replacing intramuscular medica-tions. Perhaps nursing homes are replacing home care orperhaps this slight decrease in nursing visits indicates an age-shift in population. Whatever the factor behind this i'ecluctionin nursing visits, it remains our responsibility to continue toloolc for new or ciifferent methods to sen'e the nursing needsof the community.

What has the Sudbury Pul¡lc }lealith Nursing Associationaccomplished during 1960 ? We like to think that u'e haveachieved some prevention of disease, some promotion ofhealth, and some nulsing care to the sicl<, but should weremain satisfiecl with our accomplishments? Should weremain com¡:lacent because our present programs ancl servicesare relatively successful ? We think not. We feel that thereare many "new frontiers" in the field of lrublic healUr nursingservice. We believe that we shoulcl not remain satisfied withour small achievements, but we sÌroulcl be willing to go for-ward with new progl:ams

- plogrâms which better meet the

health needs of our community.

The first step toward this "new frontier" has ah'eacly beentaken. This step is a cliabetic detection program which isbeing planned for the last week in April. To foresee thesecond step towald our "frontier" is not yet possible, but the

l'oâd is paved with innumerable possibilities -

glaucomascreening clinics, student programs, improved geriatricservices, for example.

With the continued interest and cooperation from the citi-zens of Sudbury these programs and more can not help butbe successful, can not heþ but be profrtable, and can not helpbut meet our objectives of more prevention of disease, morepromotion of health, and more nursing care to the sick.

REPORT OIìTHE BOARD OF PUBTIC \øELFARE

Year Ending December 3L, 1960

To the Citizens of Sudbury:I{erewith is submittecl the report of the Director of the

Board of Public Welfare.

ROLAND Iì. CUTLER, ChairmanRICHARD C. HILLLOUISE F. WYNNEBEULAH A. STONEALFRED F. BONAZZOLI

Board of Public WelfareSudbury, MassachusettsGentlemen:

The Sudbury }3oald of Public Assistance operates undelthe direction of the Massachusetts Department of Public Wel-fare and it is responsible to conform to the laws governingthe various categories of assistance as rvell as to ¿dhere toregulations promulgated by the State Agency in order toqualify for reimbursements by the Federal and State g:ovem-ments. Assistance is based on need, grants to lecipients beingdetermined by a budgetary system set up by the Common-rvealth. Regulations require that the cost for medical care anclsupplies shall be provided, and during 1960, this constituteclapproximately one-third of the total amount expended folassistance. Charges for nnrsing homes and hospital care have

Page 237: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

235

reached an all time high. The Director of the Division ofI{ospital Costs and }-inánces has established a rate of $6.50per ãay for nursing homes, and efforts are øJr; present underway f<ir an inclease in this rate. Each Januaty! a new feeschedule for the various hospitals throughout the State,- isissued, and in L960, a rate of approximately $25.00 -per daywas sét for the hospitals in this area ordinarily used by ourrecipients. Althouàh the number of persons,, receivingassistance in recenL-years, has generally clecreased, grants torecipients have steadily increased, because of the rising costof living and because of soaring medical costs. On July 1,1960, all recipients received a 5.2% cost of living increase.

Aid is rendered in the categories of Otd Age Assistance, Aidto Dependent Chitclren, Disability Assistance, ancl Gener¿lRelief. As of October 1", 1960, a new category of MedicalAssistance to the Aged, became effective. This aid isintended for those recipients who are patients in nursinghomes, chronic hospitals or public medical institutions, wherethe patient needs no other residence. In this category,eligiltility requirements are more liberal, and at present it isdifficult to anticipate the number of new cases who mayapply, but eight iecipients rvho formeliy wele in I'eceipt ofOld Age Assistance were transferred to Medical Assistanceto the Aged, and one new case has been added. Under thisne\¡/ program, Tolvns ancl Cities will receive increasedFederal and State reimbttrsements, the Fecleral governmentpaying one-half of the total costs, and the State payingtwo-thirds of the remainder, while tl'ie locality bears thecost of the remaining one-third. During 1960, a total offorty-one persons were aidetl uncler Old Age Assistance,and at the encl of the year, tlventy-seven cases remainedactive. The unusu.ally large cìeclease lvas clue to thefact that eight cases wele transferred to Medical Assistanceto the Aged. As of January 1, 1961, all Recipients of OldAge Assistance will receive an increase of $1.50 per month,this amount being desig:rated for aclditional travel allowancewhich was formerly $2.50 monthly and norv $4.00. Five caseswith a total of thirteen children i,vere aicled under the Aid toDependent Children Program, and at the end of the year,three cases rvith a total of eight children, remained active.Two cases were closed because need no longer existed. Threecases were aided during the past year under the category ofDisability Assistance. At the end of the year, two casesremained active, one case having been closeci because of deathof the recipient. As of Jauuar'¡' L, 1961 Recipients of Dis-ability Assistance receivecl an inclease of $6.50 monthly, fourclollars of rvhich was designatecl for, Leisure Time Activitiesancl two clollars ancl íi.fty cents :fot' Travel Allou'ance. Until1961, recipients of Disability Assistance dicl not receive anallowance for these items. General Relief or Tetnporary Aicl

continued in a very light-degree. The sum of fi552.24 was paidto another community -for two cases not living in Sudbïry,but wjth Sudbury settlerrents. One hospital b-iil of $ágg.ãtiwas also paid for a Suclbury resiclent.

JUNIOR RED CROSS COMMITTEE

Mrs. Elizabeth Burckes, Chairman

Junior Red Cross started in 1"940 when 320 children in 14looms comprised the entire school system. Now over 600 atRegional are enrolled and participate in service under thedirection of the Student Council, and over 1700 more areenrolled in 72 classrooms of the Elementary Schools.

At the Junior Fligh, a stuclent council, for the first time,has written its own skit and tal<en over direction of the enroll-ment and service program. Three other assembly programswere held at Ilorse Pond, Nixon, and Fairbanh Schools, pre-sented by the childi'en from a script prepared by the JRCChairman leporting on last year and what we would do thisyear. At the Edison School and in ¿ll Grades 1- 3, homeroomswere visited by mothers who tokl the story so this age coulclunderstand.

The enthusiasm and eagerness with which these assemblieswere entered into, and the response given, shows they arebecoming a well-remembered part of school experience. Assuch, the teaching staff has given them greater recognition,and appreciation, and teacher sponsorc have been appointedin each school. They will become more active as eacìr schoolsettles down into its own building.

With the money contributed this yeai', $75 was sent to theNational Children's Fund, which helps other children in timeof need such as the Chili earthquake and the Jalranese typhoon.Most popular again was the filling of 185 small gift boxes,each with 10 or more articles for use or fun, such as pencils,paper, comb, hair ribbon, toys, sewing kit - which go as ânexpression of friendship to children of other lands.

Back from Peru have just come 25 thank you letters inSp¿nish from some of the children who received the 145 boxessent last year.

Various gifts were also made to hospitals inclucling 100greeting cards for veterans to send at the VA l{ospitat inRoanoke, Virginia. A year ago, Junior Red Cross paid theshipping on 300 pouncls of clothing sent to the small town of

Brent, Ontario, whose only contact with the world is the Cana-dian Pacific Railway. This year we sent the clothing gatheredat the Edison School for Christmas to a needy family inKentucky.

Thus we have continued the broad program of educatingchilch'en in what Red Cross is and doès -

providing themopportunities suited to their years to partieipate in service andfriendshi¡i for others in tangible ways they can understand.

CLOTHING DRIVE

The Sudbury Red Cross Chapter conducted a midsummerdrive for clothing for Chilean earthqualie victims; since mid-summer in Massachusetts is midwinter in Chile, the need wasgreat. I-Iundreds of articles of warm winter clothing weregiven to hellr meet tl-ris need. Our thanks to the many whocontributed, and a special lvorcl of thanhs to the members ofthe Fire Department who cooperated in the use of the FireStation as ¿ collection center.

FUND DRIVEEvery contributor of frve dollars or more to United Fund

Drive in the fall of 19,60 is considered to be a member of theRed Cross for 1961 and is entitled to attend the annual busi-ness meeting of the Sudbury Chapter.

We wish to express our appreciation to all those whosegenerous support, either directly or through the United Fund,enables us to continue our service to the community.

THE SUDBURY FOUNDATION

The following brief report of the activities of the SudburyFoundation, together with a commentary on its objectives,has been submitted by the Individual Trustees ancl is herebymade available as public information.

December 31, 1960

THE SUDBURY FOUNDATIONThe Sudbury Foundation, founded December 30, 1952, has

been able to serve those purposes for which it was created innearly every respect.

The charitable purposes set forth in the Trust Indentureare:

1. Payments to educational institutions for worthy andneedy students, particularly students residing in Sud-bury, for the purposes of furthering their educationsand increasing their capacity for usefulness, throughloans granted on very liberal terms, or through outrightgrants, if, in the discretion of the Trustees, the applicantseems worthy.

The Foundation's record to date is forty-seven loansto twenty-four boys and girls from Sudbury, totalling926,079.24 to assist them in financing their college tui-tion and board. Of the above, four have repaid theFoundation, and others are gradually repaying money soloaned.

Page 247: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

243

2. Payments to churches in Sudbury for capital improve-ments, repairs, current operations and other churchpurposes. There have been no additional payments thisyear, but to date our record is $10,422.61, paid to thechurches of Sudbury for capital improvements, repairs,church schools, etc.

3. This year a grant of $100 was made to The SudburyPublic Health Nursing Association, Inc., to provideextras to worthy and needy persons, who for variousreasons, are in need of assistance and comfort to easetheir plight and increase their joys. A simil¿r grantwas made clurinE the first year of the trust.

The Sudbury Foundation, organized exclusively for char-itable purposes and supported primarily by the contributionsfrom the general public, is exempt under Section 501 (2) ofthe Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to it are å properdeduction in a contributor's income tax, as a charitable con-tribution. This fund should be of particular interest to thecitizens of Sudbury when they consider their charitable dona-tions, as it is operatecl almost exclusively for the citizens ofSudbury.

Again, there have been no contributions to the fund thispast year, but it is our hope that as the Foundation continuesto prove its worth to Sudbury, more community support willfollow.

If you know of anyone who would like to make a gift tothis fund, or leave a bequest to it under their will, we suggestthat they write to the Trust Department of The MechanicsNational Bank of Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts.

REPORT OF'

THE SUDBURY SCHOOL COMMITTEE

- Sufficient building s¡race continues to be a major problemfacing the School Committee. The problem oî increasedenrollments will be facing us for. severál years to come. Theuse of the Nixon School in September 1g60 and the LoringSchool in January 1961- was mich later than schedulecl. A;of. January 1961 we have adequate classrooìn space. In anattempt to solve the space liroblern we 1:ointed out in our lastye_ar'q report that we neecl a nelv twenty loom elementaryryþoo! by S_eptember 1962 ancl an adclition'to ilre Junior l-IigirSchool by Seirtember' 1963. Sometime ago we establislred edî-cational

- specilìcations for these two buildings ancl we are

urging that immediate action be taken in orclei to provide thenecessary space by the time it is needed

A-study must be inaugurated to consicler the next step inbuilding construction. A problem related to school Iocation isthe growth ancl cost of the transportation system. It isbecoming apparent that tìrere is neèd for sidewall<s for theuse of school children as well as others. Various factors arecausing the Commonrvealtlt of Massachusetts to reduce thebr?nsportation allowances, and siclewalks rvould pa)' for them-selves over a periocl of years.

The Superintendent of Scliool's report provides more cletailsabout oul eclucational program, but we

-especially would lihe

to call attention to some outstanding features of-our system.We are making constant effolts to improve our eclucátionalprogram; we at'e continuing tìre clevelopment of our non-graded system which was also reported last year; and we arerequiring our liupils and teachers to spend more'time in thepursuit of learning. All teachers are on duty ten monilrs ayear, and some are working eleven months. The administra-tors have been on a full calendar year. We are very proud ofour entire staff, many of u'hom are gaining recognition evenbeyond our orvvn system. Our merit salary plari aicls us inattracting and heeping good teacher.s.

We have continued our study of common ¡rr.oblems ilrat facethe.Lincoln, Suclbury and the Lincoln-Suclbury Regional Scl.roolsystems, by joint committee meetings from iime to time. Weare pleased with the gelerous support receivecl from so il1ân¡,of the townspeo¡rle of Sudbury who, like us, are cletermineäto liave an excellent educational system. We urge continuedand increasecl interest in the efforts of such groups as theCitizens Council for Sudbury Schools ancl the vãriotis parent-Teacher Associations. We are confident tliat educationalprogress is greater when school anrl home rvorl< together.

Introduction

"Increased school population, stafï adctitions, a new schooland curriculum changes have been present in the Suclbur.yElementary Schools again in the year. 1960. The willingnessof our entire staff to accept changes, ancl to maintain highstandards of worl< from our pupils made it possible to accom-plish many things during the past year.

grades. These materials perrnit a lrupil to 1:rogress at his ownrate and can be easily checked by the teacher so that assistancecan be given when any difficulty arises. The success obtaineclthrough use of these materials warrants additional purchases.

"Due to limited and outworn materials in the area of lan-guage, a committee of teachers examined texts and talhedwith consultants and recommended the purchase of materialsedited by Edna L. Sterling, Director of Language Arts forSeattle, lVashington and publislied by D. C. I{eath ancl Com-pany. The series emphasizes a thorough understancling ofgrammar and early use of correct terminology, i.ê., nouns,pronouns, etc. These books are not expected to be a comliletecourse of study but rather an initial step in improving ourprogram.

"Due to tlie fact new programs have been institutecl inIìeading, I{anclwriting, Arithmetic, Social Studies and Scienceduring the last two and a half years, these subjects are beingcarefully observed by teachers and administrators to noteboth strengths ancl weaknesses.

"The Educational T. V. Programs, producecl by WGBFI, aleconstantly being improved. Programs in Science, Music,Literature ancl French are used at approliriate grade levels.Better instructional guides for teachers are no\M available andthe services of the coordinator of the French Program,Madame Frances, are available to us on a limiteci basis.Madame Frances worl<s with both teachers an<l pupils aboutonce a month. She has been most complimentary about theSudbury Schools.

Teaching Methods

"The acceptance of the Non-Graded Program which wasstarted at the Center School in September, 1959, anci which isnow in o¡reration at the General John Nixon School has beenmost gratifying. Eiglit rooms comprise a Primary Unit anclsix rooms an Intermediate Unit. A clifficulty noted in the1959-1960 school year rilas that pupils who may startslowly, who may transfel from othel school systems or lvl'romay have diffculty with a certain phase of the school pro-gram, often cannot advance into a faster moving group, whenthey have overcome their difficulties, because the omission ofmaterial might compound their problems. Thus, a transitiorrteacher has been engaged who can aid pupils in bridging thesegaps. Because continual evaluation is very essential in theprogram, this teachel also calries on the testing program.With the extension of the progrâm into an intermediate unit,it becomes even mole evident that it will be at least threeyears before we can truly alrpraise this type of program.

"Grouping among tlie classes at each gracle level in tlie}{orse Poncl Roacl, Fairbanl< ancl Loling Scìrools continues to

be based on reading achievement. Although no plan is apanacea, the general achievement level of our pupils indicatesthat tl-ris plan is working successfully. 'lhe groups within ourclasses are flexible and a puliil can be transferred into another'class of the same grade level whenever his achievementindicates it.

"A few classes are em¡:loying 'Team Learning' in arithmetic.This plan was devised by Dr. Donald Durrell and several of hisassociates at Boston University. Two pupils similar in abilityand achievement work together and with the teacher. It per-mits desirable competition which is very practical in the fielclof arithmetic.

Testing Program

"The l'esults of the spring testing program were mostgratifying. One important aspect of a standardized testingprogram is to measure pupil progress from year to year anclanother is to permit school personnel to interpret how Sud-bury's teaching methods and content compare with the coun-try as a whole. In ability, the median (middle point) score ofSudbury pupils is slightly above average. In April, 1960, inevery subject, Sudbury pulrils rvere at or above median inachievement in all areas tested.

"Pupils wele schedulecl by appointment for their first gradereading readiness tests. The staff is most appreciative of thecoo¡reration received from parents. This eliminateci pupilsbeing assigned to one teacher and then being reassigned aferv da¡'s later, which in previous years, was of concern toboth pupils and teachers.

"The glowth of our school population warr¿nts in the nearfuture a person specifically trained in the aclministering oftests and the interpretation of Urem.

Reporting to Parents

"Again this 1:ast year, the staff has promotecl the Parent-Teacher Conference as a means of keeping lrarents informedof their cl,ildren's progress. This form of exchange of informa-tion between parent ancl teacher is most heþful. The GroupConference helcl in each classroom at the beginning of theschool year afforded the teacher an excellent opportunity toexplain the r,vork of the ensuing year. Attendance at theseevening meetings was most rewarding.

Conclusion

Mr. William Sayg1, Principal of the Junior lligh Schoot,reports on the educational activities at the Junior l{ïgh schooÍlevel:

geograplìy as it influences history. A multi-text approach isbeing used to expose a student to the views of differentauthoi's.

Guidance

"The guidance program has been expanded to includeindividualized and specialized testing in addition to the school-wide testing prográm. Certain teachers have been assignedtime to discuss with students and parents academic and socialprogress and plans for the future.

Conclusions

"l-. I{igh quality teaching is being maintained; at the sametime procedures are strengthening the program.

2. Additional staff is required to meet the problemscreated by increasing enrollments.

3. Staff reaction concerning time for ¡rlanning and curri-culum study indicates a necessity for a twelve monthyear. The olreration of a guidance centered schoolmakes many more demands on the faculty of theschool than the operation of a traditional program.

4. Consideration must be given to the physical facilitieswhich woulcl allow adclitional teaching methods forbettel staff utilization. These progrâms have been dis-cussecl, and some experimentation has been caruied on."

Staff expansion has kept pace with our increased enrollment.Added to the staff in 1960 were the following: two elementaryschool lrlincipals, eleven elementary teachers, one part timespecial subject teacher, flve junior high school teachers, twocustodians, one maintenance worker, three secretaries, ancìthree cafeteria employees. The position of Business Managerwas created at the office of the Superintendent of Schools.Expenses for this newly created office are shared with the

Regional District.Our 1961 school budget inclucles the addition of six ele-

mentary teaching positions, two slrecial subject teachers, anclone junior high school assignment. Also incluclecl are twocustodians.

The October 1, L960 census leveals the fact that Sudbui'ynorv has 1l'r47 pre-school childlen. This is the first time thatoul pre-school population has exceeded our enrollment ingracles one througlt six. Current figures show 204 more "unclerschool age childi'en" than are enlolled in our elementaryschools. This inclicates clearly that our staff needs will con-tinue to expand annually for the next six years and probablyat an increased rate.

Previous lrlanning had designated the two-r'oom SouthSchool as the central sup¡rly and booh storage as well asmaintenance headqualters, but tentative enrollments indicatethat lve shall neerì this builcling for classlooms next year.

llecommendations

1. During the sulnrner of 1961 a1r¡lroximately one-fourth ofthe teacbing stafl will return for four rveelcs of curricu-lum ^clevelolrment and non-gracled pre-lrlanning. This isour ûrst step towai'd an eleven month year for the teach-ing staff. Future plans and budgets slioutd provide for alarger percentage of staff invõlvement on a calendaryear basis.

2. The Channel 2 Television Programs in music, science,and elementary French, have implemented oui regularclassroom teaching, but at preseht only one telev*isionreceiver is available at each- scl-rool. Ad least one addi-tional set shoukl be- provided at each elementary schooland three ¿dclitional receivers at the junior higli school.

3. Teachin-g via electronic clevices is proving to be effective,a-nd Sudbuly should ¡:lan to actrl 1io its ftesent facilitiesthe newer of these, i.e., overhead projèctors, languagelaboratory equipment, and teaching:máchines:.'

4. Planning monies were aplrropriated last l\{arch for.another elementary scllool and ãn a<lclition to ilre juniolhigh school. It-.is þÞerative that boilr these buiiclingsbe voted immediately. Otherwise, ilrele will be no altdr.-native but to resort to double sessions wiilrin flie nexttvvo or three years.

5. The enrollment growth calls fol added staff services inthe very near future:

A. A science coordinator for gracles one ilrrough eight.B. Dep_artmen-b heads in English, maflrematics, social

studies ancl science at the junioi.high school.C. A pschometrici¿n to serve all gracle levels in flre

area of test aclministration, er'ãluation, and inter-pretation.

D. A coordinator of aurlio-visual instruction includinotelevision and electronic classroom teaching.

E. A cafeteria supervisor.

6. A committee should be -appointecl to rvork clirecfly wiflrthe School Committe.e for- ilre express purpose óf pio_jecting our sch-ool building neecls for the neit t"" väà"sancl recommending in rvhióh of oul school districts ptantexpansion should receive priority.

8. If our present prograrll of instrumental music continuesto expand, proper space mnst be made available in eachelementary building.

9. The present triple-threat use (auclitorium, cafeteria,and physical eclucation) of the multi-trurpose rooms inour new elementary schools is taxing these facilities totlie hilt. It is presently impossible to expand andimprove our present ploglam of elementary physicaleducation.

Sudbury has the services of a truly lrrofessional teaehingstaff and capable, dedicated workers in supervision, mainte-nance and secretarial functions. Sup¡:orted by adequatefinancing and with strong citizen interest in educational excel-lence, our School Committee has providecl an educationalservice of which we can be proud.

SCHOOL ENTRANCE

Any child who is five years and six months of qse 9n S9n-tembér first of the current school yeàt ma,y be admitted to thefirst grade, but in every case admission of a child under sixshall le deúendent upon the fitness of the child to profit by theworlç of the school, such fitness to be determined by theSuperintendent. A child who is five years six months or fiveyears seven months shall be eligible for admission only if, heiras a mental age of six as established through an inclividualtest of mental ãbility, an<l who is physically fit ancl sociallymature.

NO.SCHOOL SIGNAL

In the event of severe weather (storms or sub-zero tempera-tures) or when the transportation system is disrupted, -WB\tWCOÞ, WEEI, WHD}I, WKOX, TVNAC ANd WSRO WiIlbroadcast the no-school announcement between 7:00 and8:00 A. M. In addition, blasts 2-2-2will be souncled on the firealarm at 7:00 A.M. and 7:30 A.M. This audible alarm is forthe elementary school only. The Regional l-Iigh School will beannounced on the above radio stations.

Page 263: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

269

We- feel these signals are cleaL, and ther.efore urge parentsto refrain from flooding the homes of School Department per-sonnel with telephone calls. Parents should not call the FireDepartment on its emergency line which is llllltop g-Zg\g.

On days when the signal is not used, weather conditionsmay'r¡/arrant the non-attendance of certain children. Lack ofnormal health would tend to make it advisable for parents toke.gp- ? child at home. Since weather reports are not alwaysleliable, and since the School Department desires to rencl-ermaximum education service by having the schools open on thegreatest number of days, storm sigñats will not be used onordinary rainy or snowy days.

r Nr s rR Arr oNFOR THE YEAR 1960

Many of the major projects of your Committee on TownAdministration were disposed of in previous years, throughthe work of subcommittees made up of compétent and well-informed volunteers and ¿ssisted by the invatuabte and whole-hearted support of the officials anil boards of the town. Theworh of the Personnel Subcommittee, for example, representedan effective contribution to town administration,'and resultedin the recommendation of a personnet byJaw which wasadopted by the town. The work of the Finance Subcommitteeresulted in a comprehensive chart survey and forecast pub-lished in the last Town Report. As a result, forecasting-andadvance programming of capital outlays were tahen ovér bythe Finance Committee. This will serve to mention just two.

Your Committee hopes that any town citizen who would liketo worh with us, or has any suggestion for committee activityor study will feel free to contact any of the Committee mem-bers. Your ideas and help will not only be appreciated, but arenecessarily indispensable to the progress that can be madein taking up projects worthy of attention.

Public Works

A Public lVorks Subcommittee was formed last year. Itsmembers are Joseph M. Maher, Daniel B. Jameson, AnthonyP. -Urgotis, and John B. Perry, Jr., with attorney Alan I.Alford serving as counsel and Chairman.

This subcommittee was set up to study such matters as theol-fice of the highway surveyor, equipment, public recreation,the office of the Town Engineer, and the question of the town'staking over the Water District, in which last-mentioned mat-ter its studies were subordinate and auxiliary to that of aspecial committee formed by the town to explore that specificsubject.

This subcommittee has to date been preoccupied with thetask of gathering data, and is expected to submit a pre-liminary report in the next Annual Town Report.

Executive Secretary

A detailed study was made by your Committee on theadvisability of having a town manager or an executive secre-taly, and its rvritten report was set out in the Town Reportfor 1956. Legislation proposed by the Committee for anexecutive secretary was narrowly defeated in 1957, but thesubject continues to generate much intelest. We have receivecl

Page 267: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

269

numerous requests for copies of the written lelrort from tnanycitizens. Your Committee has responded to the reneweclinterest in the subject by undertaking at this time a reviewof the entire matter, particularly in the light of the markeclgrowth of the town and the increased complexities of -townãdministration over the past foul years, with a view to deter-mining whether new legislation should be proposed for actionby the Town Meeting.

Roard of Selectmen

Your Committee is studying a separate proposal that thernembership of the Board of Selectmen be increased from threeto five. Bõund up with that proposal are the questions ofwhether a five-member board would be an effective step tobetter government, and whether such a board would be asatisfactory alternative to either an executive secretary or atorvn manager. Information on this study will be made avail-able.

Legal Expense

Your Committee is conducting a comparative survey of theexpenditures of various towns for legal expense, in an attemptto shed some light on the marked increase in recent years inthe town for legal fees and expenses. In addition, the towncounsel byJaws of certain towns are being examined, with aview to possible improvement of the town's own by-law onthis subject. Information on this survey will be made avail-able.

The Future Program

In addition to the foregoing projects, your Committee iseager to continue its work to determine whether Town Meet-ing procedures cannot be further improved and streamlined.Since historically Sudbury was the birthplace of the NewEngland Town Meeting, the Committee feels that the presenttrend of lengthy, complex warrants and marathon town meet-ings encÌangers the effeetiveness of the institution, designed to1:rovide for pure democracy in action. In this connection,serious study should be given to the advisability of the repre-sentative town meeting.

Respectfully submitted,

J. FLEET COWDEN, Chairman

REPORT OF THE TO\øN ENGII\EER

January 1"5, 1961

To the }Joard of SelectmenSudbury, Mass¿chusettsGentlemen:

I hereby submit the following leport fol the ye¿r' enciingDecember 31, 1960.

During the year 1960 this department has received requestsfor information from practically every department, boalcl :rndcommittee of the Town. The following is a description of someof the more important requests.

Requests were received for the preparation of plans anddescriptions for street acceptances; for the pi'inting of zoningmâps; to attend conferences with officials of the Departmentof Public Works; Boston and Maine Railroad, and the CountyCommissioners with regards to lay-outs, land taking, anddrainage easements; for plans and descriptions of the newFire Station lots, Police Station lot, Haynes Road School site,Libraly lot, Little League ball field ancl Tennis conrts; tocheck property transfers, assign street numbers, and forinformation necessary to grant approvals for release of sub-division bonds.

Concord Road, Plympton lìoad, Water lìow Road, and Lin-coln Road have been surveyecl and many of the propertybounds have been located for the purposes of completing this¿rrea for the assessor's maps. Although a great deal of timehas been allocatecl to this area both in lield worh and officervorl< there still remains a great deal more to be done becauseof the very indefinite descriptions of the inclividual parcelsof land. This area for which proper clescription can not beobtained at the Middlesex Registry of Deeds will have to becletelmined from field sulveys. In order to complete these fieldsurveys this department must obtain permission from theindividual land owners to entei'their land fol the lrurpose oflocating plopelty corners.

This department has found it necessary to establish a carclIndex system of approximately 3000 property olvners or par-cels of land in order that \rye may stay aheacl of the everincreasing number of propelty transfers. This system willalso be of upper most help, when time will permit, in thesearching of properties for the original o1¡/ners.

This offce has obtained many plans that are on file at theIìegistry of Deeds in Cambridge and the Land Court in Bos-ton. It is our clesire to obtain copies of all tìre plans on file

Page 269: lllr Toïrn Report - Sudbury, Massachusetts · 2 President of the United States of America JoHN F. KuNNsDy Boston, Massachusetts Vice President LvNooN B. JonNso¡l Johnson City, Texas

within the next two years. We have checked the number ofplans needed to bring our records up-to-date and find that weare in need of approximately 650 plans.

I wish at this time to express my thanks to the TownDeqartments, Boards, and Committees for their cooperationduring tþe ye.ar. I also wish to express my thanks to thosewho worked sincerely to make this Department a success.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE TREE DEP,{.RTMENT

To the Citizens of Sudbury:

Trees this year were to be pruned over the entire town byutilities.

This was ]et on contract. Relations with contractor andtrees became poor, so as a result they were stopped.

I agree with many arborists that tree work should not beclone on contract or to any living organic thing or being.

Continuing work study and effort is constantly being usedto keep trees out of reach of progress. Pruning of youngtrees at the proper time allows for shape desirably and lessneed of heavy pruning in future years.
