1981 Annual Report
Town of Lexington
Massachusetts
Cover Picture: Intersection of Massachusetts
Avenue and Bedford Street, Patriots Day, 1896.
The Minute Man Statue was dedicated four years
later. The modest number of vehicles gives no
hint of the traffic problems to come in later
years, nor of the time and effort spent by citizens
and town officials in 1981, trying to untangle
traffic - related problems in the center of town and
in the Bedford Street - Hartwell Avenue area. We
thank S. Lawrence Whipple, Charles A. Butts and
the Lexington Historical Society, Inc. for their
assistance in identifying the site, and for
permission to reprint this photograph as well as
the one on page 4. Both pictures appeared in
Lexington, A Century of Photographs, a 1980
publication of the Lexington Historical Society,

Lexington 1981, In Brief
The town survived the first year under the budget restrictions
of Proposition 21z. But it took some adjusting and extra help
from many quarters.
The help came from above - -a below average winter's snowfall that
reduced snow removal costs; shrinking school enrollments and
across - the -board boosts in fees for everything from blasting
permits to swim tags. For the first time since 1963, the Con-
servation Commission did not request funds for land purchase,
and for the second consecutive fiscal year, the town avoided
borrowing in anticipation of taxes. Increased funding from
local businesses helped keep Patriots Day observances in step
with tradition.
When the year ended, services were still being rendered virtu-
ally unchanged; no municipal employees and no tenured teachers
had been laid off.
New eating places and stores drew new interest and business
to the center; and along with it greater traffic and parking
problems. One agreed -on solution --more metered parking space.
New commercial buildings in the Bedford Street --Hartwell Avenue
area created even worse traffic snarls, still unresolved at
year end.
Ground was broken for 60 units of housing for the elderly off
Lowell Street. The new cablevision venture was given a home in
the old Munroe School. Still unresolved: permanent quarters
for the Council on Aging; what to do with the sagging Garrity
House on the edge of the Green and closed schools Muzzey and
Adams. However, the task of reevaluating property at 100 per-
cent of market value was completed.
Gypsy moths chomped their way through the most destructive year
yet in the current cycle; town and residents alike attacked with
everything from spray to vacuum cleaners. The mosquito control
program was resumed, and domestic animals such as dogs and
horses were banned from playgrounds.
Residents left their marks in many fields: Nicolaas Bloembergen
was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics; Bernard Harleston accep-
ted the post of President of City College of New York; Priscilla
Hill won 2nd place in the U. S. Womens Senior Figure Skating
Championships; and skater Sheryll Franks turned professional.
School Superintendent John Lawson accepted the post of Commis-
sioner of Education for the state; LHS teacher Joseph Kelley was
named Mass. Teacher of the year; Assistant Town Manager Nancy
Banks moved to Acton to become the state's first woman town
manager; and the Public Works Department hired a woman mechanic.

Board of Selectmen:
Town Prepared Well
for Era of Tight Budgets
Board of Selectmen. L/R seated: James Crain; Margery Battin; Alfred Busa,
Chairman; Beatrice Casey, Executive Clerk; Mary Miley; Stephen Politi.
Standing: Norman Cohen, Town Counsel; Robert Hutchinson, Town Manager.
rudent and efficient policy- setting and management practices in past
years have prepared the Town of Lexington well for the era of Proposi-
tion 2 %2. While many other towns in 1981 found themselves in the posi-
tion of having to confront major budgetary cuts forcing service cutbacks,
Lexington was able to carry through satisfactorily, with virtually no de-
creases in services and no employee layoffs.
In the spring of the year, the Board of Selectmen established goals for
Fiscal Year 1982. Two of the goals relate specifically to the work of the
board: (1) revitalization of the Center, and (2) financial planning. The
board has emphasized these two goals for the past several years, and the
efforts of previous boards are now bearing fruit. In addition, the board
listed a number of objectives for committees appointed by the Selectmen.
Financial Management. The tight budgetary guidelines enforced by Proposi-
tion 2 -2 had less effect on Lexington primarily because of the path of eff-
icient financial management that has characterized the town over the past
decade. In no small measure as a result of the close cooperation among
Town Meeting, the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee, the town
has seen the closing of five schools over five years in an orderly, well
thought -out process.
The town departments were all conscious of the "212 squeeze ", and budget re-
quests were reduced where possible. In addition, a thorough review of fee
schedules, which included a survey of fees charged by our neighboring towns,
resulted in a decision to increase the revenue that the town derives from

such fees as recreation charges, building permits
and planning permits. The course that was chosen
has enabled the town to generate appreciably
greater revenue than we would have with the pre-
vious schedules.
Center_ Revitalization. Under the leadership of
Margery M. Battin, the Center Revitalization Com-
mittee, after many arduous meetings, presented a
mew parking plan for the Center. The board approved
new "Parking Rules and Regulations" in October, for
implementation early in 1982; special legislation is
required for legal enforcement of the plan. In
brief, the plan expands the metering of spaces in
the immediate vicinity of the Center, encourages em-
ployees who work in the Center to park farther from
the core, and stimulates more rapid turnover for the
benefit of shoppers and visitors.
We were also encouraged by the festive Memorial Day
weekend and holiday- season attractions planned by
the Chamber of Commerce with town cooperation.
Cable Television License. After eight years of
meetings, the Cable Television (CATV) Committee,
under the leadership of William Page and John Ward,
presented the board with a final report, recommend-
ing a selection process for the awarding of a cable
license. At the conclusion of the process, Adams -
Russell of Waltham was selected, and a contract was
signed at the end of August. The town was well
served by the entire review process, one that has
been viewed as a model nationally for establishment
of a cable television system.
Personnel Career Development. An employee develop-
ment capacity program was adopted by the board in
January. The program will provide opportunities for
career advancement within the town government struc-
ture. The town will be able to identify the skills,
knowledge and experience of its employees so that an
orderly program can be implemented and maintained.

Legislative Liaison. Representative Stephen Doran
and Senator Samuel Rotondi both met several times
with the board for the purpose of updating the mem-
bers on legislative matters. Both continued to pro-
vide important support to requests from the board.
Representative Doran holds office hours in the
Selectmen's Office on the first Friday of each month
from 8:30 to 10 a.m.
School Conversions. During 1981, Muzzey Jr. High
School was closed, the fifth and final school to be
closed in a program that began in 1977.
Adams and Munroe Schools are now being rented, while
active advisory committees have been appointed to
hold public hearings, establish criteria for-alter-
native uses, and make recommendations regarding the
disposition of Adams and Muzzey. Munroe School has,
for the time being, been rented by a church and also
by the town's cable television licensee for use as
a community- access studio.
Liaison with Other Communities. Legislation passed
in 1981 now places the Middlesex County Advisory
Board firmly in control of the county budget -
approval process. The Advisory Board is composed of
representatives of the municipalities that comprise
Middlesex County. Our own Mary Miley played an
influential role in this fortuitous legislation.
Dog Hearings. Dog hearings are held at the request
of residents who are aggrieved by vicious, barking
or free - ranging, unrestrained dogs. One hearing
was held in 1981.
This year, the board welcomed a new member, Stephen
M. Politi, and we bid farewell to Robert B. Kent.
We extend a warm welcome to Mr. Politi and wish Mr.
Kent best success in his new position at Cornell
University. We also thank our staff, Bea Casey and
Marion Snow, for their dedicated efforts in 1981.

Cable Television Committee. In January, a cable
company, Adams - Russell of Waltham, Mass. was selec-
ted by the Board of Selectmen, from a six - applicant
list, to construct and operate Lexington's cable
television system. The board awarded the provision-
al license in April and the final license in August.
The contract calls for the system to be totally in
operation within a year of the final license grant-
ing. The company plans to turn on portions of the
system much sooner, probably starting in the first
quarter of 1982. The system capacity will be 72
channels with two -way capability and dual cable. A
20 channel, two -way institutional system will be
installed for use by the Lexington Public Schools,
fire, police and other government agencies.
There will be eight access channels available for
use by the Lexington community. Plans call for the
formation of an Access Council to aid in the devel-
opment of local uses of the system. The Lexington
studio will be in a section of the Munroe School.
The Munroe Studio will be supplemented by a mobile
van with video recording equipment. Adams- Russell
has selected Lauren Goldfarb as the Lexington Pro-
gram Director. She has excellent qualifications
for the assignment and has a strong commitment to
helping Lexington learn to make effective use of
cable television in the many ways it can be valu-
able to the community. Both the Selectmen and
Adams - Russell have declared their intentions to
make Lexington's system an outstanding one. Local
organizations are now being contacted to discuss
ways of using the system. Both the Lexington Pub-
lic Schools and Cary Library are prepared to use it
to enhance their curricula and services. A bro-
chure describing how to use the system for local
programming will be available shortly. Lexington
organizations will be invited to a workshop to get
acquainted with the system.
The first video taping was done at the Elderly
Needs Workshop in April, 1981, and is ready for
viewing.
Persons and organizations interested in using the
system should contact either Lauren Goldfarb or
members of the Advisory Committee.
Center Revitalization Committee. The Center Revi-
talization Committee has been working hard on its
charge to prepare a plan for revitalizing Lexing-
ton's Center, including methods of achieving commer-
cial diversity, increasing social and cultural
activities, improving traffic flow and expanding
parking. The committee prepared short -term propos-
als to remedy current parking problems. These were
adopted unanimously by the Selectmen, and monies
were authorized by the 1981 Town Meeting. Implemen-
tation will begin in early 1982.
In cooperation with Metropolitan Area Planning
Council, and with the assistance of the Chamber of
Commerce, individual businesses, the League of
Women Voters and the Council on Aging, an economic
analysis of the Central Business District is under
way to determine the center's health as well as the
attitudes and perceptions of residents toward it.

A January rally on the Green calling for the release
of American hostages still held in Iran was spon-
sored by organization "We the People" and organized
by Turning Mill Road resident Robert Stewart.
Forum on Aging; Community Health Committee. As a
follow -up to the 1980 Forum on Aging resolutions,
the Community Heallh Committee, in collaboration
with the Human Services Committee, organized an
Elderly Needs workshop. This workshop pointed to
several issues of concern to many of the town's
elderly: preventive health care, transportation,
home services, consumer and financial issues, nu-
trition, housing, and dealing with stress. Select-
man Margery Battin gave the keynote address. Rec-
ommendations for action were forwarded to the Board
of Selectmen.
In June, the Ad Hoc Community Health Committee,
having fulfilled its charges from the board, sub-
mitted a proposal for the formation, structuring
and operation of a permanent community health com-
mittee to be organized appropriately under the
Human Services umbrella.
In October, a representative from the Forum on
Aging attended the twentieth meeting of the Nation-
al Advisory Council on Aging National Institute on
Aging, in Washington, D. C. This representative,

acting on resolution 5 of the forum, emphasized the
need for and value of research to improve health
and other aspects of life in the middle and older
years.
In November, the Forum on Aging Committe met with
local delegates to the White House Conference on
Aging to remind them of the forum resolutions which
have significance for federal legislation.
Garrity House Committee. The Garrity House Commit-
tee was formed in October, 1980, to find a new use
for the Garrity House (also known as the Red Cross
House) and carriage house adjacent to the Buckman
Tavern. The buildings, which are in a deteriorated
condition, are deemed worthy of preservation be-
cause of their role in the setting of the Battle
Green.
The committee considered and rejected a number of
uses for the buildings, including subsidized family
housing, low density office space and a tea room.
In October, 1981, the Selectmen authorized the
committee to offer the buildings for sale with pre-
servation restrictions on land leased over a long
term. The sale is subject to Town Meeting approval
The committee wishes to thank the Massachusetts
Historical Commission staff for advice and support,
Orville Carroll of the National Park Service for
architectural analysis, and the students of the
Boston University Preservation Studies program for
the Historic Structure Report they prepared on the
Garrity House.
Hanscom Area Traffic Committee. Lexington joined
with the Selectmen and Planning Boards of Bedford,
Concord, and Lincoln to create a Hanscom Area Traf-
fic Committee to devise short -term traffic conges-
tion solutions for the traffic that circles and bi-
sects the Hanscom area. The committee inventoried

and analyzed current problems, identified and re-
viewed previous studies and considered alternative
solutions. A plan for improving traffic circula-
tion was then designed and presented to the offi-
cials of the four towns. The concepts embodied in
the plan were adopted by the towns in December. A
study phase to determine the feasible alignments
for phases 2 and 3 of the plan will now proceed;
the Committee will monitor this phase and proceed
to study how to balance growth and traffic flow in
the Hanscom area.
Human Services Committee. In 1981, its first year
of operation, the Human Services Committee created
a framework of review criteria for analyzing budget
requests; made recommendations on funding to the
Board of Selectmen; and developed a policy state-
ment regarding the town's role in the human servi-
ces. This policy emphasizes prevention, with the
town working to enhance programs rather than deal
with the treatment of problems and to facilitate
involvement of all human service resources rather
than only those that have traditionally been con-
sidered human service agencies, A new committee
was appointed on November 30 for an 18 -month term
and plans to work to carry out established goals.
Lexington Council for the Arts. The Lexington
Council for the Arts had a challenging first year.
The group of ten members met once a month with sev-
eral subcommittees meeting more frequently.
A Statement of Purpose and By -Laws were written.
The Statement of Purpose is:
The Lexington Council for the Arts is formed
to: encourage and promote the arts for the
benefit and appreciation of the people of
Lexington; recognize the wealth of creati-
vity in our town; advise the Lexington
Board of Selectmen on disbursement of

funds generated by the Massachusetts Arts
Lottery and given to the town; and receive
and administer funds for the arts for the
community.
The name of the Council was changed from the Lexing-
ton Arts Council to the Lexington Council for the
Arts to indicate that the purpose of the Council is
to serve the arts.
A calendar for arts events in the town is in the
making. A directory of artists and cultural groups
is being developed. A needs assessment question-
naire is being circulated, and a one -day Arts
Festival is being planned for 1982.
For Discovery in Lexington Day, the Council had a
booth for gathering and disseminating information
Though the Massachusetts Arts Lottery was the
original stimulus for establishing an Arts Council,
the Council believe that, in spite of the Lottery
Commission's difficulties, the Council has a
significant role to play in this community.
Sewer Advisory Committee. The Sewer Advisory Com-
mittee was formed to review proposed plans in the
Sewer Master Plan authorized by Town Meeting in
1978. All of these plans have now been reviewed.
We are not very active now, but we maintain an
interest in the Millbrook Valley Relief Sewer.
Town Report Committee. The 1980 Town Report, which
appeared in March, 1981, was an editorial and finan-
cial success, but it did not reach as many residents
as previous years' reports.
Explaining good news first: The 1980 Report, for
the second successive year, won a second prize in
the Massachusetts Municipal Association Town Report
contest. Even though the 1980 -81 budget had been
halved, the Committee nevertheless spent only $3,173,
returning $1,927 to town coffers.
Since the 1980 Report was the first without home
delivery (a result of Proposition 212), the committee
was concerned that the 1,500 copies printed were not
sufficiently distributed until they were placed in
Cary Memorial Library and the East Lexington Branch
Town Report Committee. L /R: Patricia Kaczmarczyk,
Raymond Culler (resigned 11181); Erna Greene, Chair-
man; Donald Giller; Robert Morrison. Absent: Louis
Zehner, Emeritus; Elaine Ermolovich.

in August and September. Timely readership of the
1981 Report should increase, since 2,000 copies - -500
more than last year - -will be issued and placed
immediately in the libraries (as well as at Town
Meeting and town offices) for citizen pickup.
In addition to the enormous time commitment of each
committee member, the 1981 Report received extensive
assistance from Fred Frick (Town Meeting report) and
two high school student photographers, Tani Curtin
and Gary Lawton. As always, all town offices and
agencies, especially Town Manager's and Comptrol-
ler's, gave generous support to Town Report.
Transportation Advisory Committee. During 1981,
the Transportation Advisory Committee continued to
devote most of its energy to LEXPRESS, Lexington's
intratown mini -bus system. During the second year
of LEXPRESS operation, the committee saw the rider-
ship stabilize into predictable patterns. The
four little red buses became an established entity
in Lexington.
A fare increase was instituted in September, 1980.
This brought an expected drop in ridership, although
the decrease was seen only among people under age 65;
senior citizens continued to ride at a steady rate.
LEXPRESS averaged 19.47 riders per vehicle hour be-
tween September, 1980, and June, 1981, thus main-
taining the most successful fixed route pulsed
system in Massachusetts.
The LEXPRESS budget in June, 1981, ended with a sur-
plus of $81,000. The bulk of the returned funds re-
sulted from stabilized fuel costs; MBTA funding of
$22,500 and some service cuts to comply with Propo-
sition 2 %Z also played a role in keeping costs down.
Furthermore, advertising defrayed all printing and
distribution costs of the LEXPRESS map. A new pro-
gram of selling advertising space on the inside of
the buses was initiated in the fall of 1981. This
represents further efforts by the committee to keep
the town subsidy as low as possible.
A sidelight of the LEXPRESS system was the Hartwell
Avenue shuttle. The Chamber of Commerce and the
town worked closely together to experiment with
lunchtime service between Hartwell Avenue and Lex-
ington Center during May, 1981. Although the
response was minimal and the shuttle was discontin-
ued, the efforts again demonstrated that the Town
and Chamber can work together in positive,
meaningful ways.
LEXPRESS has entered its third year with high usage
and strong support. The buses continue to serve a
variety of needs within our community.
The LEXPRESS map,with all information on the system
as well as MBTA and Lexington- Boston commuter bus
schedules, is available in the Town Office Building..

Town Manager: Good Planning Tames 21/2
Financial planning has
generated a dividend dur-
ing 1981 allowing for a
relatively smooth transi-
tion in the first year im-
plementation of Proposi-
tion 2�. Goals of the
Selectmen and Town Meeting
are being met with some
modest service reductions
and a continued commitment
to a stable financial set-
ting. The town is cur-
rently taxing at an esti-
mated rate of 2.1 percent
of our total value, well
below the Proposition 2',j
authorization of 2.5 per-
cent. Because of a limit
on the tax levy of an in-
crease no greater than 2.5
percent, we have to be
more creative if we are to
maintain our existing
level of service. At the
same time, we must make a
continued commitment to
maintenance of our infra-
structure, namely, our
sewer, water and road
systems.
On Employee Recognition Day in October, 34 people
who have worked for the town 25 or more years were
honored. Shown above: Town Clerk Mary McDonough
and Town Manager Robert Hutchinson.
Budget. The adopted budget for fiscal year 1982 of
$36,065,935 reflected a $622,594 or 1.7 percent de-
crease from 1981. On December 24, 1981, I proposed
a budget of $37,006,320 for FY83, a 2.6 percent in-
crease, which continues to comply with the statutory
guidelines of 2 1/2. Unfortunately, a final tax
rate for the current FY82 has not been established
because of the prolonged status of completing re-
valuation of all property in the town. It is est-
imated that a residential rate of approximately
$20.00 will be set for FY82 and a very modest in-
crease will take place in FY83.
We have maintained a strong free cash position cert-
ified as of July 1, 1981 at $3.1 million. I have
proposed utilizing $1.2 million of that amount for
FY83. We are carrying $1.9 million forward in order
to maintain a favorable cash position dealing with
unknowns at that time. Again, this is a commitment
to multi -year financial planning.
During this transition period, the town made an ap-
peal to some of its corporate citizens for an ad-
vance payment of taxes while we were completing the
problems of establishing a tax rate during revalua-
tion. We are grateful to the large majority of bus-
inesses that came forward to assist us by early pay-
ment. Unlike many other communities during this fis-
cal year, Lexington has had its financial situation
fully reviewed and has maintained its AAA rating.
Personnel. 286 full -time employees continue to meet
the standards of excellence established by the town
during what continues to be a period of constriction

and the long awaited re-
ceipt of a civil service
list for new police ap-
pointments. We have in-
curred unusual overtime
costs because of these
vacancies and some major
illnesses. Contracts
were concluded with the
Fire Department and pro-
tracted negotiations with
the Police were settled
this year. Because of a
continued complicated
financial picture, it
contracts will be the order
Affirmative Action. We continue to review our quar-
terly goals and should note that our first employee
of Spanish descent was appointed to the Lexington
Fire Department, and a woman mechanic's helper was
appointed to the Public Works Department.
Solid Waste. A major achievement was witnessed with
the signing of a twenty -year contract by the Board
of Selectmen with the Northeast Solid Waste Commit-
tee for a resource recovery plant in North Andover.
This is a commitment not only to resource recovery
and energy conservation but also to the stabiliza-
tion of costs in the solid waste area.
Future Goals will continue to focus on:
1. A commitment to multi -year financial planning
and tax stability.
2. Consolidation of school and municipal functions
where possible to gain greater efficiency.
3. A sustained effort for tax reform while working
within a cost containment program.
4. Continued commitment to training and development
of the men and women who work for the community.
This office assists and is committed to execution of
the policies of the Selectmen and Town Meeting for
the benefit of our citizens. We remain available
for interested inquiries and comments regarding the
administrative operation of Town Government.

TMMA Spotlights Budget Process
The Town Meeting Members Association is a voluntary
Association open to all Members of the Town Meet-
ing. Its primary purpose is to provide information
to Town Meeting Members and citizens for the pur-
pose of assuring, to the greatest extent possible,
that Town Meeting operates efficiently and that
its members can make informed decisions. The asso-
ciation's operations are supervised by an Executive
Committee composed of the chairman, clerk, and an
associate member from each precinct. The TMMA also
has various committees to survey specific problem
areas and provide information for use by Town
Meeting Members.
Each year the TMMA prepares a Warrant Information
Report, which is a booklet that summarizes most of
the articles on the current Town Meeting Warrant.
The report also analyzes the articles and provides
a summary of arguments favoring and opposing each
article.
In preparation for 1982 Town Meeting, the TMMA
Executive Board has appointed a committee to study
the budget process. Its report will be appended
to the Warrant Information Report and should pro-
vide Town Meeting Members with information on how
the budget process works and the priorities that
governed the preparation of the budget presented
to Town Meeting.
Each year before the Annual Town Meeting, the TMMA
holds several information meetings. At these meet-
ings information is presented and discussed by
proponents and opponents of the various articles.
The Town Meeting Members Association also has
published and distributes to citizens as well as
Town Meeting Members: a handbook describing Town
Meeting process, Town Meeting in Lexington; a set
of guidelines for persons submitting citizen's
articles; and an orientation packet for newly
'elected Town Meeting Members.

School Committee. L/R seated: James Beck; Frank Michelman, Chairman. Stand-
ing: Mark Splaine, student representative; Patricia Swanson; Jean Gaudet;
Sandra Shaw; John Lawson, School Superintendent through 1981.
Lexington students and, through them, their teach-
ers and coaches, continued to distinguish them-
selves in 1980 -81 on many fronts: college admis-
sions, National Merit Scholarships, standardized
test scores and interscholastic competition, with
championship teams in mathematics, debate, girls'
track, girls' swimming. and football. Details on
some of these can be found in the Superintendent's
report, which follows.
Meanwhile, the School Committee was occupied with
its tasks of support, oversight and preparing for
the future. With the indispensable help of commit-
tees of staff and citizens, Basic Skills Improve-
ment Programs were inaugurated in reading, writing
and mathematics, using diagnostic tests and stan-
dards specially geared to Lexington's high expecta-
tions. After thorough study and intense discussion,
we undertook a modest departure in seventh grade
English, science and social studies classes from
the grouping practice of sharp stratification by
estimated ability that had been the rule for all
junior high school academic classes. The results
of this change will be carefully reviewed this year
and will assist in future plans. Self- supporting
extended day programs were introduced in two more
elementary schools, reflecting the wishes, energies
and capabilities of the responsible groups of
parent organizers. Computer education continued
to progress, with terminals now installed in every
school, and a major administrative report on plans
for the future is expected this year. Other
curriculum improvement efforts continued, with re-
visions under way or introduced in many areas, in-
cluding reading, spelling and handwriting. At the
High School, there were major developments in
guidance, career and experienced -based education
and health education.
Schools
With our first budget under Proposition 21z-and out
from under fiscal autonomy - -we were able, with the
Town Meeting's unamious approval, to maintain es-
tablished program levels and staffing ratios unim-
paired while retaining all our tenured staff except
retirees. Such results were due in part to the
five - school closure sequence that culminated in
June with the closing of Muzzey Junior High School.
An equally important factor - -and one that will grow
in importance in the future, as rather inflexible
fiscal caps make themselves increasingly felt - -is
the collaborative relationship that has been estab-
lished between the Selectmen and the School Commit-
tee, echoing that between the Town Manager and the
Superintendent of Schools. From that relationship
we expect not only mutual understanding of each
other's goals and needs, but also concrete service -
sharing and joint planning that will economize on
scarce resources.
As another way of looking to the future at a time
of ferment and reexamination in public education,
we have been fortunate to assemble a volunteer Ad-
visory Committee of specially knowledgeable citi-
zens to examine and assist with communications be-
tween the School Committee and the citizenry, so
that the School Committee can be as well informed
as possible about the perceptions and expectations
of Lexington residents in regard to their schools.
Without a doubt, the prinicpal challenge now facing
the School Committee is that of replacing Superin-
tendent John H. Lawson, who deserves so much credit
for the existing well- ordered state of our schools.
Dr. Lawson departs in January, 1982, to place his
talents in the service of the Commonwealth. Lex-
ington's debt to him is incalculable.

BASIC SKILLS TESTING
In the spring of 1978, the Massachusetts Department
of Education directed all public school systems in
the Commonwealth to prepare a Basic Skills Improve-
ment Program. As in many other states with similar
programs, the intent was to achieve greater account-
ability of public schools. Although Massachusetts
did not establish mandatory high school graduation
requirements, it nonetheless sought assurances from
each town that students had attained minimal levels
of competency in the basic skills.
The new regulations require each school system to
establish basic skills standards in reading, math-
ematics, and writing. Each system must also devel-
op a testing program that determines whether a stu-
dent has met the minimal competency standards in
each area, and must develop plans to help students
who have not yet met minimum levels of achievement.
In December, 1978, the Lexington School Committee
charged a group of town citizens, business and in-
dustry representatives, faculty, administrators,
and student representatives to develop plans and
programs to comply with the Basic Skills regula-
tions. This committee's report was accepted by the
School Committee in June, 1980. To test for mini-
mum competency in mathematics and writing, the
Basic Skills Committee recommended that Lexington
develop its own instruments for mathematics and
writing in grades 3 and 5; use the Comprehensive
Test of Basic Skills for testing reading in grades
2 and 4; and use the State - developed tests for
grade 8 in reading, mathematics, and writing.
During the 1980 -81 school year, in response to a
new requirement of the Massachusetts Department of
Education, Lexington carried out a Basic Skills
Testing Program in reading, writing and mathematics.

A summary of the results of that program supplements
other testing data and confirms our belief that
Lexington students learn basic academic skills.

If a student did not achieve minimum standards on
any Basic Skills test, parents were invited to dis-
cuss the test results and plans were developed for
addressing the skill weaknesses. Some plans called
for additional individualized work in the regular
classroom and, in some cases, special tutorial sup-
port from reading specialists or special -needs
teachers was required. The State requires that
each student be given the opportunity to take the
tests each year in grades 7 -12 until he or she
demonstrates the required level of competency.
State regulations also require that each school
district make an annual report to the public of
the test results and show how many students have
and have not achieved minimal standards in Basic
Skills at each level tested. Most Lexington spec-
ial -needs students (Chapter 766) were not exempted

from taking the Basic Skills tests, although the
State permits such exemptions. A few special -needs
students and several foreign speaking students were
exempted.
Analysis showed that most students who did not pass
were already receiving additional support from
their regular classroom teacher, special -needs
staff or reading specialists.
Much of the foregoing seems to have little rele-
vance to Lexington, where SAT and College Achieve-
ment test scores have remained strong, where 80
percent of our graduates are accepted into post-
secondary institutions of learning, and where the
energies of the staff have been focused on issues
of maximum, not minimum achievement. But even here
we have a few students whose computational and com-
munication skills are sufficiently weak to raise
questions regarding their functioning as indepen-
dent adults who will need to keep checkbooks and do
business by letter. Minimum competency testing may
help identify those few and enable us better to
serve them as they prepare to compete with others
of their generation in any marketplace where mini-
mum competencies must be even higher.
SCHOOL CLOSINGS
With the closing of Muzzey in June, 1981, only ten
schools remain of the fifteen schools open five
years ago! Four elementary schools and one junior
high school have been returned to the town because
of declining enrollments.
In 1969, the student enrollment (K -12) in the Lex-
ington Public Schools was 9,609. At that time, the
School Department employed more than 500 classroom
teachers to meet its prime mission: the education
of the 9,609 enrollees. It is projected that on
October 1, 1982, the student enrollment will be
5,284 or 4,325 students fewer than in 1969.,
A cumulative financial saving of $2,618,955 will
have occurred by June, 1982, resulting from school
consolidation:

1981 -82 BUDGET
Passage of Massachusetts Law Chapter 580 (Proposi-
tion 212) in the Fall of 1980 affected those respon-
sible for the development of the 1981 -82 school
budget. Proposition 21z, the fluctuating economic
cycles that are aggravated by world instability,
and the declining school age population in Lexing-
ton, all mandate the allocation of fewer resources
to the public sector of the economy. As a conse-
quence, the School Committee, administrators,
faculty and staff attempted to develop a 1981 -82
budget consistent with this direction. I can re-
port that, as a result of five years of planning
and frugality, the Lexington Public Schools were
among the few Massachusetts school districts not
seriously impaired during the first year of imple-
mentation of Proposition 22. At this time, all
indications are that 1982 -83 will be an excellent
year also. Such planning efforts as implementation
and completion of the school closing sequence, in-
troduction of program budgeting and accounting,
use of a computer planning model to support deci-
sion making have had a high payoff. These and
other efforts have facilitated the:
- retention of consistent teacher /student staffing
ratios;
- increase in the number of instructional programs
offered to Lexington students;
- consolidation of the Lexington Public Schools'
student population into 10 school buildings;

- reduction of 152.81 full- time - equivalent pro-
fessional staff; and the
- reduction of 37.67 full- time - equivalent classi-
fied staff.
Among other significant factors that influenced
the 1981 -82 budgetary decisions were:
- Wage settlement improvements for the four em-
ployee groups ranging from 6.8 to 7.0 percent;
- projected 7.6 percent decline in student en-
rollment;
- closing of Muzzey Junior High School;
- completion of energy and science renovation
projects;
- end of early- incentive retirement plan for
teachers;
- reduction of 32.61 full- time - equivalent profes-
sional staff;
- reduction of 12.17 full- time - equivalent classi-
fied staff;
- major increases in the cost of fuel and electri-
city;
- needed building maintenance projects; and
- mandated Chapter 766 programs, including special
education transportation costs.
The 1981 -82 budget development process began in
April, 1980, and involved teachers, principals, pro-
gram managers, central office staff, Superintendent,
School Committee and town government officials.
Despite potential financial restrictions from Propo-
sition 2 %z, all programs of the Lexington Public
Schools remained intact, and our faculty and staff
continued in their pursuit of a quality educational
environment for all students. In addition, several
challenging innovative goals were established for
the 1981 -82 fiscal year. They were:
Instructional Programs
To assess the junior high curriculum to determine
the effectiveness of grade seven program in English,
social studies, and science; to analyze the compat-
ability of programs in grades 8 and 9 with program
changes in grade 7; and to explore the possibility
of introducing additional elective offerings.
Basic Skills Improvement
To identify and /or develop transitional programs in
Grades K -1, 6 -7, 9 -10 for students who have indi-
cated needs in terms of age, academic progresss,
learning style and /or age- appropriate interactive
process.
Tra iti-
To implement changes, if any, necessitated by the re-
sults of the Basic Skills Improvement Program tests.
17
LHS teacher Joseph Kelley, named 1981 Massachusetts
Teacher of the Year.
Instructional Support
To increase professional development opportunitites
to support faculty staff in their teaching.
General Support
To continue.to respond to energy and audit recommen-
dations; and
to implement new procedures for the recruitment and
accounting of substitutes.
In closing my final Superintendent's report to the
citizens of Lexington. I wish to express my appreci-
ation for the abundant support and encouragement I
have received from the members of the School Commit-
tee, my colleagues in the administration, princi-
pals, faculties, staff, town officials and citizens.
I am leaving Lexington to assume the position of
Massachusetts Commissioner of Education in January
because of my deep concern over the paucity of
quality in public education that is available to
many students in the state today. My decision was
very difficult because I have learned to respect
and admire Lexington very much. The deciding fac-
tor, however, was the knowledge that our Lexington
schools are in excellent condition -- financially
and educationally -- and will continue to be su-
perior regardless of my presence as Superintendent.
My five and one -half years as Superintendent in
Lexington will always be remembered with fondness
and appreciation for the opportunity of serving an
excellent student population and working with an
outstanding faculty and supportive staff.

Minuteman Tech Scores High in Area Competitions
In June, Minuteman Tech graduated its fourth senior
class. Eighty -eight percent of the graduates went
on to higher education or accepted positions in
their career fields. (Prior to graduation, 41 per-
cent of the seniors had held jobs with cooperating
employers.) The remaining 12 percent took jobs out
of their vocational major or were uncertain of their
plans.
Minuteman Tech is unusual among vocational schools
because it also offers college preparation courses,
and about 18 percent of its graduates go on to
college each year. The school also offers a unique
Prep -Tech Program for gifted students who wish to
prepare for top technical colleges.
During 1981, a number of Tech students won awards
for outstanding skills. Forestry students won the
state championship in the Future Farmers of America
Natural Resources Contest and placed third in the
Northeast Regional Contest, competing against champs
from fifteen states.
At the New England Flower Show, Minuteman Tech hor-
ticulture students won a gold medal for achievement
and first place in the educational category. They
went on to win first place in the Northeast Regional
Landscaping competition at the Eastern States Expo-
sition, and first place in the state Future Farmers
of America Nursery /Landscape contest.
In the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America
skills competition, Minuteman Tech students were
state champs in the Heating /Ventilation /Air Condi-
tioning, Printing and Auto Body events. State
winners went on to the National VICA competition in
Atlanta, where senior David Harris of Acton won the
gold medal as top printing student in the country.
Tech students also won honors in the State Distribu-
tive Education Clubs of America competition, and the
school's new Air Force Junior ROTC coed drill team
placed second in the New England Regional High
School Drill Team competition.
In 1981, Tech's varsity basketball team became the
first to qualify for the Division III North Massa-
chusetts State Tournament for four straight years.
Coach Nick Pappas was named Division "Coach of the
Year."
A vigorous energy conservation program has cut the
school's energy consumption more than 30 percent via
microprocessor controls, insulation and revised
scheduling. Major projects now on the drawing
boards include wind generation of electricity and
groundwater cooling.
In addition, with help from a state grant, all over-
head doors are being insulated, mercury lamps re-
placed with more efficient metal halide lamps;
boiler turbulators, destratification units and over-
head strip doors are being installed, as well as an
insulating cover for the swimming pool.
Despite rising costs, per pupil assessments to mem-
ber towns were held to the previous year's level.
Schools
The Adult Education courses and Summer School are
now run on a sulf- supporting basis. These programs
serve more than 3500 adults and young people annual-
ly. The 1981 Summer School served 1044 students
from 44 communities.
During 1981, Dover joined the Minuteman Tech dis-
trict, bringing to sixteen the number of towns
that are now members.
The primary purpose of a vocational - technical
school is to provide a high school education while
preparing students for good jobs requiring specific
skills and paying significantly more than minimum
wage. Minuteman Tech provides area employers with
skilled young people trained in 25 vocational and
technical areas. These graduates have virtually the
same academic credentials as traditional high school
students.
Each program has an active advisory committee made
up of representatives from industry who monitor the
school's curriculum and shop equipment.

Marsden of Lexington, is one of 67 members of a sup-
port group for students majoring in non - traditional
shops.

After more than a decade of discussion and planning
on the local and regional levels, the Town of Lex-
ington has signed an agreement with the Northeast
Massachusetts Resource Recovery Project to be con-
structed in North Andover for the disposal of solid
waste. The town will benefit from the sale of
energy generated by the burning of refuse. Direc-
tor of Operations Warren Empey has served a number
of years on the Selectmen's Solid Waste Advisory
Committee, which has studied the feasibility of
this solution. The DPW will provide daily liaison
on the contract.
The closed Hartwell Avenue Landfill features two
successes:
(1) Recycling is now administered by the Citizens
for Lexington Conservation (CLC), and
(2) landfill capping has been completed utilizing
available fill from nearby development at no cost
to the Town.
Westview Cemetery has a new look. The headquarters
building expansion and the landscaping around it
are now finished.
OPERATIONS
The Highway Division in addition to the routine
tasks of trench patching, sidewalk repairs, brook
cleaning, guard rail repair, drainage construction,
berm construction, street cleaning, sign placement
and street line painting, also:
- established a comprehensive town -wide street
sweeping program whereby all accepted streets
receive cleanings at regular intervals, based
upon visibility and use;
- painted lines and installed meters and signs in
readiness for the Central Business District Park-
ing Program;
- dredged the Sickle Brook at Bow Street to fulfill
Lexington's cooperation in Arlington's drainage
project;
- acted as general contractor and utilized town
forces to reconstruct the Adams and North Street
intersection;
- loamed and seeded the pond and drainage project
at Parker Meadow Conservation land between
Revere Street and Brigham Road;

Goals for Public Works /Engineering
1
i To standardize services, program goals and per-
formance expectancy for public works operations.
0 To further monitor and reduce energy consump-
tion throughout the town including fleet, bui
ings and street lights.
• To generally downsize the fleet to reduce fuel
costs and provide better job applicability
throughout the year; to dispose of surplus
equipment.
• To promote the exchange of expertise and equip-
ment between municipal departments and the
Public Works Department so as to provide econo-
mies in service.
To provide a master plan for water distribution
with a multi -year program of implementation.
To commit the resources for construction of im-
provements as prioritized in the Master Drain-
age Plan of the Town of Lexington.
9 To maintain a program for street pavement
rehabilitation.

- created additional wheelchair ramps downtown;
- covered all railroad crossings with asphalt.
Water and Sewer Division. The Sewer Section organ-
ized a sanitary sewer system cleaning program
whereby a section was cleaned from its point of
origin to its respective pumping station. This
task will span some years with present manpower
and equipment since fewer than ten of Lexington's
148.71 miles of sewers can be cleaned each year.
In addition, cleaning and painting the interior of
the pumping stations and the rehabilitation of the
systems manholes began.
The Water Section has undertaken a comprehensive
hydrant flushing and leak detection program that in-
cludes flushing, sounding and diagramming of all hy-
drants and gates, thus pulling fresh water through
the system and reducing "dirty water" calls. Re-
pairs are scheduled as deficiencies are identified,
and the water meter replacement program is ongoing.
The two water storage tanks have been painted and a
chain link fence erected to inhibit vandalism.

The water billing ottice has converted to a data
processing system for water billing and has contrac-
ted with the Town of Arlington for this service.
The Equipment Division maintains all Public Works
road machinery which includes service, preventive
maintenance and major repairs.
Following a recommendation from the fleet mainten-
ance foreman and supervisor, preventive vehicle
servicing has been programmed at three -month inter-
vals. Greater productivity has been achieved for
both the mechanics and work crews when maintenance
is thus planned.
A comprehensive central maintenance report has been
presented to the Board of Selectmen, and its Phase
I has already been implemented. The Equipment Main-
tenance Division now performs major repairs and reg-
ular servicing of all Fire Department apparatus; and
in two -way cooperation, the fire dispatcher now
handles the DPW night calls.
ADMINISTRATION /FACILITIES
This administrative area interfaces with most other
departments in town because of buildings mainten-
ance, recreation, energy, permits for street con-
struction or Lexington beautification. Through the
Manager of Administration /Facilities:
- Repairs to the Cary Library were completed;
- Technical Assistance Energy Audits were conducted

by Cummings Solar Corporation and funded by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
- Addition construction for the Westview Cemetery
building has concluded; and
- Coordination with utility companies is maintained.
The Park Division is responsible for maintenance and
general care of all parks, playgrounds, recreational
and conservation areas, as well as mowing of all
school areas.
The effort to control a marked increase in vandalism
to fields, trees and picnic tables, as well as lit-
tering, has called for double the manpower of the
previous year.
In spite of this, the division's 1981 accomplish-
ments can be seen in many parts of town.
The first full year of pool operation has concluded
with no major problems. Plantings were installed
at the swimming pool area. Nearby, the Central
Playground small tot play area received new equip-
ment as did play areas at Sutherland Road, Garfield
Street and Rindge Avenue.
The football fields at Fiske, Harrington, and Esta-
brook fields were sliced and seeded; shrubs were
planted at Revere Street conservation land as well
as at the cemetery and dog pound buildings. Emery
Park was loamed and seeded and a section of Town
Offices lawn was loamed and sodded.
Conservation was assisted with projects such as mow-
ing, rototilling and a bridge built across a brook
at Dunback Meadow near Bowman School. In addition,
the fire trail at Whipple Hill has progressed.
In order to save money and best use our personnel,
new sharpening equipment for gang mowers was pur-
chased and installed. All sharpening will now be
done by town forces.
The Shade Tree Division is responsible for the care
and preservation of all shade trees within the pub-
lic way.
Our biggest problem this year again was the gypsy
moth. The town spent $20,000 in 1981 for two spray-
ings with Bacillius Thuringiensis, a microbial in-
secticide, that is non -toxic and non - pathogenic to
man, warm blooded animals, fish and honeybees.
Coverage was limited to trees which could be reached
from the street. The heavy infestation of 1981 com-
pletely defoliated some areas of Lexington. A
ground survey by the state department of Environmen-
tal Management forecasts a heavy local infestation
in 1982. The areas expected to be hardest hit are
those predominantly of oak.
The division also:
- Removed 60 dead or dangerous trees due to Dutch
elm disease;
- Planted approximately 210 trees of various sizes;
- Pruned 315 trees;
- Sprayed for poison ivy; and
- Systemically injected 200 trees for Dutch elm
disease; applied a dormant spray for elm bark
beetle, carrier of the disease.

The Cemetery Division, in addition to normal main-
tenance and services, enhanced vehicular circulation
and prepared for present and future needs. Lots in
Section A were partially laid out and the private
roadway network, including access to Westview
Street, was extended and paved.
The Building Maintenance Division has charge of all
public buildings under the jurisdiction of the
Board of Selectmen, including Parker Adams, Munroe
and Muzzey Schools. The last named was recently
mothballed and provided alarm systems to protect
against vandalism.
Energy conservation sparked efforts such as:
(1) Installation of new retention head oil burner
at the police station;
(2) working with Cummings Solar Corporation to com-
plete technical assistance energy audits on the
Police Station, Cary Memorial Building, Town Offi-
ces and the DPW building on Bedford Street;
(3) addition of a gas -fired domestic hot water
heater in the East Lexington Fire Station to save
building boiler use; and
(4) substantial improvements in the Central Fire
Station heating system which have significantly re-
duced energy levels.
ENGINEERING
The Engineering Division had another busy year.
Principal involvements were in sewer, water, bike -
path and street construction. In addition, several
major studies were completed or advanced to the next
stage including infiltration /inflow, storm drainage,
unaccepted streets and traffic improvements.
Two major contracts awarded in 1980 to Charm Con-
struction Co., Inc., for the construction of ap-
proximately 15,600 linear feet of sanitary sewers
were completed this year. The cost of construction
totaled about 880,000 dollars. The last two remain-
ing sewer contracts totaling about $1 million will
be awarded in the spring of 1982.
The construction contract for new water mains in
Concord Avenue and Marrett Road was awarded in No-
vember to C. DiMartino & Sons Inc. The construction
is expected to be completed by late spring or early
summer of 1982.
The construction of approximately 5800 linear feet
of bikepaths was completed by C. J. Mabardy, Inc.
The project included installation of bikeway signs
and wheelchair ramps at various locations.
The Adams and North Street intersection improvements
were also completed this year. The improvements in-
cluded constructing a stonewall, lowering the road-
way profile and realigning the roadway within the
layout - -all for the better sight distance from four
directions. A sidewalk was also constructed on the
north side of Adams Street to the Burlington town
line. These alterations should greatly improve
vehicular safety.
Linenthal, Eisenberg, Anderson, Inc. completed
Phase I of the Sewer System Evaluation Survey,
21
which includes the physical survey, smoke testing
and flow isolation tasks. Their Interim Report has
been submitted to the State Division of Water Pollu-
tion Control. The second phase of the study is ex-
pected to be completed by the late summer or early
fall, 1982, and will include the sewer cleaning and
television inspection. We are also coordinating our
sewer studies with the MDC on their proposed Mill -
brook Valley Relief Sewer.
Phase III of the Comprehensive Drainage Study in
the Tophet Swamp basin was completed by Camp, Dres-
ser, and McKee, Inc. CDM was also awarded the work
for Phase IV, in the Hardy's Pond -Hobbs Brook basin,
which is proceeding on schedule and should be com-
pleted by next spring. The recommendations of
Phase III and IV will then be added to the Storm
Drainage Master Plan prepared last year.
A master plan for unaccepted streets was completed
this year. This plan outlines a capital improve-
ment program and recommends the acceptance and con-
struction of about 120 of the town's unaccepted
streets. Some of these streets are in deplorable
condition and should be upgraded for public safety
reasons.
Progress was also made toward easing traffic conges-
tion in the Bedford Street /Hartwell Avenue / Marrett
Road sectors. The Mass. DPW approved a phased con-
struction program for part of the recommended im-
provements, and Boston Survey Consultants, Inc.
were retained to prepare the technical data neces-
sary to support the entire concept plan. Field
survey work and the final design phase will be done
by town personnel.

Public Works /Engineering
We continue providing technical assistance to all
town agencies, particularly the Planning Board, Con-
servation Commission, Building Department, Health
Department, Board of Appeals and Board of Selectmen.
Our participation included input or approval of all
engineering aspects - -from initial plans to field
inspections - -for subdivisions condominiums and
commercial buildings in progress and at completion.
Overview
Because Proposition 212 has brought about major cut-
backs by many municipalities, Lexington has bene-
fitted from significantly lower prices for asphalt
and water construction. In addition, our town has
become eligible for a 40 percent state sewer con-
struction grant which will allow completion of the
multi -year sewer plan in the spring of 1982.
Recently purchased labor- saving equipment has pro-
duced significant savings for the town while pre-
serving service levels. Most notable are the Rain -
Kannon and 72 -inch mower at Westview Cemetery and
the Hydra -mower for the Highway Division.
We extend our sincere thanks to all members of the
Department of Public Works /Engineering and to other
departments within the town for their cooperation
and assistance.
Westview Service Building Completed
After long delay and deferments, the service build-
ing at Westview has at last been constructed. It
is a far more acceptable place for bereaved citi-
zens to talk with the cemetery staff regarding
selection of a grave site or to make funeral ar-
rangements. We rejoice at its completion.
Budget constraints and shortage of staff have pre-
cluded the surveying necessary to lay out the lots
in the area south of the developed section, which
was graded and seeded two years ago. The surveying
and landscaping is now anticipated for 1982.
Recycling: Now a Community Project
In an agreement of March 30, 1981, the Recycling
Committee of Citizens for Lexington Conservation,
a non- profit corporation, assumed responsibility
for the recycling center located at the old Hart-
well Avenue Landfill.
Clear and green glass, scrap metal, newspapers,
aluminum or part aluminum cans and used motor oil
are accepted. Hours at 7:30 AM to 3:15 PM on week-
days and 2 to 4 PM Sundays. Sunday hours are
supervised by the Hancock Church Youth Group.
Adult volunteers monitor the area on weekdays and
pick up after vandalism. "Profits" are used for
conservation and environmental projects in Lexing-
ton. Suggestions are welcome by the Executive
Committee -- Katherine Fricker, Deborah Green and
Rosemary Green. Other committee members are Pat
Doherty, John Andrews, Klaus Kleinschmidt, Judy
Zabin, Nancy Adler, Karsten Sorensen, Paul Chernick,
Noel Hess, Catherine Lowry, Alan and Beth Levine,
Andrew and Becky Deliddo, Warren DeVenney.

The Lexington Fire Department provides the community
with emergency fire, ambulance and rescue services.
It also educates citizens, especially children,
about fire safety. The department inspects buil-
dings and enforces fire regulations along with con-
ducting training courses on first aid and the use
of fire extinguishers. The department maintains
nine major fire apparatus housed in two stations.
In preparation for the worst possible case under
Proposition 212 revenue limitations, the department
deferred filling vacancies until it became apparent
22
Community Services
that no layoffs were required. Temporarily these
vacancies had to be filled by firefighters on over-
time to meet contractual minimum manning require-
ments. The bottom line is that Proposition 2� cost
the department money. At the year's end the vacan-
cies began to be filled; several firefighters were
appointed in December from among 280 applicants.
The only other effect of Proposition 2 %2 was the in-
stitution of new fees for private fire alarm boxes,
telephone dialer alarms and commercial inspections.
In addition, ambulance and permit fees were in-
creased substantially. A private collection agency
was also contracted to improve ambulance receipts.
The overall delivery of fire suppression and emer-
gency medical services has not been changed due to
2�; furthermore, no service reductions are antici-
pated for 1982.
Fire Department
Fire at the old Johnson Farm October 14, 1981. L /R: Engine 1, Engine 2.
In 1981 the department responded to a total of 2234
emergency calls which included 1317 calls for fire
and 917 calls for ambulance services. A decrease
in total calls (down from 2300 in 1980) was due to
fewer flooded cellars and smoke investigations.
There were 1.1 serious fires per month.
The most significant local incident occurred Septem-
ber 9th when a large tank truck carrying liquified
natural gas overturned on Route 128 northbound. Al-
though the tanker was nearly empty, the residual
caused great problems due to the tremendous poten-
tial for energy release. Both lanes of the highway
were closed for six hours while the hazard was eval-
uated and mitigated. The accident demonstrated the
coordination and cooperation of various state and
local public safety agencies.
On November 29th two engines from the department
were sent to Lynn to help battle a conflagration
in the business district. Our engines pumped for
19 hours. There were 95 other Eastern Massachu-
setts and Southern New Hampshire communities in-
volved in this fire which totally destroyed 13
buildings and damaged many others.
During September the department received a new
engine Five, now operating from the East Lexington
Fire Station. The new apparatus has four -wheel
drive which provides a capability the department
did not previously have. This should help drivers
cope with severe snow storms and give better trac-
tion when fighting brush fires.
Next year a request will be made to replace the
present aerial ladder. This unit is 21 years old
and shows signs of its age. Specifications call
for a higher performance vehicle with greater
maneuverability, carrying capacity and lighting
capability. The capital improvement plan also
23
calls for replacement of all self- contained breath-
ing apparatus used during every fire to prevent
smoke inhalation and chemical poisoning.
Department personnel spent considerable time both
in- station and in -house advising citizens on the
location and maintenance of smoke detectors. The
department urges all residents to install these
low cost life savers and gladly supplies speakers
and educational material to anyone interested in
smoke detectors.
Training of all firefighters continued daily, in-
cluding special work in hazardous materials and
auto extrication. A local physician provided a
lecture on heart attacks, and an outside profes-
sional gave a stress management course.
Two developments of 1981 have stretched department
budgets:
(1) Energy- saving installations at both fire sta-
tions promise lasting reduction in fuel use. In-
creased insulation at headquarters building alone
has already saved 4,000 gallons of oil.
(2) Firefighters, according to a recent agreement
with their local union, are now painting the in-
teriors of our fire stations as an ongoing non -
emergency task.
The department wishes the following success in re-
tirement or new endeavors: Deputy Chief Roy E.
Cook after 35 years of service; Lieutenant Wal-
lace Cupp, 32 years; firefighters George E. Pekins,
34 years; and Gerald Connor, 14 years, the last
due to a serious back injury in ambulance duty.
In addition, three others resigned including
Lieutenant Edward Gilman with 17 years of service.

cos •TB •77 •TB X79 'BO •91 tention and impatience. Through
strict traffic law procedures we have
addressed these key issues during
the past year in the form of 2,273 traffic citations and 7,904
parking tickets. Strict enforcement of our traffic laws, par-
ticularly hazardous moving violations, serves as a conditioner
and tends to create a favorable driver attitude. Improvement is
always foremost in our mind, and chief among our goals for 1982
is greater concentration on traffic law enforcement in the area
of Lexington Center where we estimate 6 to 8 percent of our
accidents occur.
Crime in Lexington: Analysis of crime in Lexington indicates a
continuing but gradual downward trend with regard to major crime
such as burglary, robbery and larcenies. This is encouraging in
the light of the constant increase of those crimes according to
national statistics. We are confident that our crime prevention
efforts which include community participation have contributed
in some measure to crime control. In 1981 successful programs
included distribution of crime prevention kits, operation
identification, commerical and residential surveys and
neighborhood watch programs.
Police Personnel: Existing vacancies in our patrol force were
filled this year by the appointment of eight carefully selected
officers. These appointments will enable the department to con-
tinue to provide many and varied police services for people in
Lexington. The retirement of Lieutenant Robert Martin after 32
years of service opened promotional opportunities for the first
time in 16 years. In october, 34 Lexington police officers took
a civil service promotional examination.
Goals: In addition to traffic law enforcement, we intend to
continue and intensify efforts in the area of crime prevention
by soliciting active participation of residents in both new and
proven methods of reducing criminal opportunity in Lexington.
In general, we intend to use every resource at our disposal
toward improved service and protection for the public.

continue and intensify efforts in the area of crime prevention
by soliciting active participation of residents in both new and
proven methods of reducing criminal opportunity in Lexington.
In general, we intend to use every resource at our disposal
toward improved service and protection for the public.

TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICES $50,612
TOTAL EXPENSES (appropriated) $ 7,300
TOTAL PERSONNEL - Full Time 3
(Intern) - Part Time 1
The year 1981 brought both change and transition
for the Lexington Board of Health. In early July
the Board of Health re- organized, and James Lambie
was elected chairman. He succeeded Dr. William L.
Cosgrove who retired after 33 years of dedicated
service to the town. Linda Roemer, Ph. D., was
appointed to fill the vacancy on the Board. Dr.
Roemer brings to the department a background and
expertise in the field of health planning and
community health needs.
Sandy Gabriel completed her term of service as a
public health sanitarian intern in June. Her con-
tributions to the department operation were greatly
appreciated and allowed us to operate with more
flexibility and efficiency.
Dr. Cosgrove, a long -time resident of Lexington,
possesses knowledge and expertise in matters rela-
ting to the quality of life in Lexington that will
not be easily replaced. He will be missed by both
Board and staff members and we wish him well in
his future endeavors.

- Biologicals (vaccines) were distributed to Lex-
ington nursing homes, industrial plants and Met-
ropolitan State Hospital. Lexington physicians
were given both the vaccines and diagnostic test
kits.
- Individuals reported as active tuberculosis pa-
tients were investigated.
Sexually transmitted diseases were investigated
in collaboration with the Massachusetts Depart-
ment of Public Health.
- The Board inquired into cases of enteric ill -.
nesses. This is particularly important if the
individuals involved are food handlers.
- Other reportable communicable diseases were
checked further and reported to the State.
- A program to monitor wild animals for the pre-
sence of rabies, hepatitis and distemper was
continued.

- The continued arrivals of immigrants from Viet-
nam, Cambodia, Haiti, etc. required a renewed
surveillance on TB control for this segment of
the population. Tuberculosis continues to be an
increasing cause for concern because of the in-
flux of immigrants from areas where TB exists
endemically and epidemically.
- The Board of Health operates and maintains a
small health laboratory to monitor water quality
of bathing areas including swimming pools and
whirlpool baths.
Chronic and Debilitating Disease Control and
Prevention
- Eye- screening clinics for children and adults
co- sponsored with the Lexington Lion's Club.
- The Board participated in "High Blood Pressure
Month" and worked with public health nurses and
the Rotary Club in the operation of blood pres-
sure diagnostic screening clinics.
- Well- elderly preventive health clinics are held
at the senior citizen housing sites for all Lex-
ington citizens over sixty. An additional
clinic was established this year at the Council
on Aging meeting site. Specialized literature
of interest to the elderly population was
distributed.
- A diabetes education program for diabetics and
families of diabetics was held.
- Participation in a public education program to
emphasize the need to eliminate excessive salt
from the diet was continued. This involved
newspaper releases and the distribution of lit-
erature.
- The Board cooperated in a public awareness ef-
fort to inform people about the abuse of x -rays.
This year's program was expanded to include den-
tists. This included news media releases and
the distribution of literature at physicians and

taken varies from the issuing of written and /or
oral orders to abate a health hazard or nuisance
condition to the seeking of court complaints in
order to effect compliance. The board met sev-
eral times this year with residents to discuss
problems and to hold public hearings.
The Board of Health thanks the many interested
people who have lent their support and encourage-

Animal Control: Owner Responsibility Urged
The Lexington Dog Control Program attempts to con-
trol stray, loose, problem and unlicensed dogs in
three ways. First, there is the town leash law.
Second, there is the municipal animal shelter for
dogs found to be unlicensed or "at large" within
the community.
Third, is the cooperation of dog owners in comply-
ing with the dog control requirements established
by the town.
People who recognize the value of dogs as pets,
companions and watchdogs should be aware of these
requirements and the special problems and respon-
sibilities their dog's presence in the community
creates.
The rules are available in booklet form through the
Health Office and animal shelter. This booklet
also provides additional information on the care of
all types of dogs and animals.
Dogs picked up and impounded by the dog officer are
subject to the following service charges:
IMPOUNDMENT FEE:
$25.00 per dog - first offense
$50.00 per dog - each subsequent offense during the
calendar year
BOARD PER DAY:
Dogs apprehended "at large" $3.00 per dog
Dogs not claimed within 7 days $5.00 per dog
(from date of
impoundment)
Dogs quarantined "Biter" in $5.00 per day,
municipal shelter per dog ($50.00
minimum charge)
Other impounded animals $5.00 per day,
per animal
ADOPTION FEES:
Mongrel $ 5.00 per dog
Purebred $20.00 per dog
STATUATORY IMPOUNDMENT RULES:
All dogs apprehended "at large" 10 days unless
sooner claimed
Animals quarantined in the 10 days minimum
shelter
COURT FINES:
In addition to town assessed service charges, dog
owners may be subject to court appearance and fines.
The court fines are as follows:
First Offense Dismissal on appearance
Second Offense $25,00
Third Offense $30.00
Fourth or subsequent offenses $50.00
27
When searching for a lost dog, you should plan to
visit the animal shelter to positively identify and
claim your lost pet. Telephoned descriptions are
seldom adequate.
Dogs may be claimed by owners from the shelter
daily and on weekends during kennel hours. You
must bring with you a current valid dog license,
proof of rabies vaccination, payment for town ser-
vice charges and a strong leash. Service charges
may be paid in cash, postal or bank money order,
certified check or travelers check.
Dog complaints, of all types, should be called into
the Animal Control Department, weekdays at 862 -0500,
ext. 34. Nights, weekends and holidays, complaints
can be made to the police.

Assessors Approach New Tax Rate
After Arduous Revaluation
Commercial - Industrial - Personal Property classes.
The revaluation of all real and personal property
in the Town has been substantially completed by
Patten Appraisal Associates of Portland, Maine.
The Board of Assessors is pleased with the coop-
eration given the representatives of Patten
Appraisal by homeowners and other taxpayers durin
the revaluation process.
Following preliminary certification of the reval-
uation by the State, Patten sent notices to all
taxpayers advising them of their new valuations,
and held hearings with over 2,000 taxpayers who
wanted to discuss their new valuations.
The public forum on classification was followed
by a meeting in November between the Board of
Assessors and representatives of the Lexington
Chamber of Commerce where the Board further ela-
borated on the possible impact of classification
g on local businesses.
In November, 1981, estimated tax bills, represent-
ing 50 percent of the net tax payable for fiscal
1981, were sent out by the Town to insure the
continuity of local government operations and
services and to avoid costly short -term borrowing
at current high interest rates. Issuance of the
estimated tax bills for the first half of fiscal
1982 was authorized by act of the State Legisla-
ture. The act responded to the needs of some 128
Massachusetts cities and towns which, like Lexing-
ton, were in the process of implementing full and
fair cash value assessments for fiscal 1982.
Following final certification of the revaluation
by the State, tax bills for the second half of
fiscal 1982 will be sent out by the Town early in
the year. These bills will be based on the new
value and the new rate, less the first half
payment of the estimated bill.
The revaluation has increased the taxable value of
property from $274,026,500 to $1,242,053,600, an
increase of 353 percent. Residential property in-
creased 504 percent while Commercial, Industrial,
and Personal Property increased 229 percent.
In October, 1981, the Board of Assessors held a
public meeting in Cary Hall to explain the impli-
cations of a shift in the distribution of the tax
burden as a result of revaluation, and to discuss
the provisions of the Classification Amendment and
split tax rates. The law provides that the Board
of Assessors, with the agreement of the Board of
Selectmen, may establish a higher tax rate for
Trustees of Public Trusts
See Funds Increase
The trustees presently administer thirty -seven
trust funds. Over the years sums of money have been
bequeathed or donated to the town of Lexington to be
held in trust for a specified public purpose inclu-
ding perpetual care funds of the Westview, Colonial,
and Munroe cemeteries and the Bridge Charitable Fund
with a total book value on June 30, 1981, of
$667,597.38, up from $627,892.93 at the close of
fiscal 1980.

Financial /Legal
The tax rate for fiscal 1981 was $92.00 per $1000 of
valuation. The tax levy for fiscal 1982 is $25,840,
699, up 2� percent over 1981. The tax rate for fis-
cal 1982, if only a single rate is used, would be
slightly less than $21.00. The Board of Assessors
will present its recommendation on split tax rates
to the Board of Selectmen in January, 1982.
In the wake of revaluation, and with no change in
the law to date covering exemptions for the elderly
(Clause 41), the Board of Assessors is concerned
that many homeowners who previously qualified for
exemptions under Clause 41 may no longer do so.
The State Legislature has, however, recently enac-
ted a change in the law covering exemptions for wid-
ows (Clause 17). Those persons with questions re-
garding either the elderly or widows' exemptions
are encouraged to contact the Assessors' office for
for assistance.
During the past year, the Assessors' office assisted
Patten Appraisal Associates in the conduct of the
revaluation, responded to the many taxpayers seek-
ing information on their new values, conducted the
regular business of inspecting additions and new
construction, administered record changes of 641
property transfers and processed motor vehicle
bills, tax betterments, water liens, abatements
and exemptions.
David C. Stusse joined our staff as the full -time
Town Assessor, replacing Tom Wenham, who resigned.
Mr. Stusse was the Project Director of the Revalu-
ation Program in Lexington for Patten Appraisal
Associates and is a graduate of Amherst College.
Our Principal Clerk, Dorothy A. Ryder, was recog-
nized for her more than 25 years of service with
the Town. The Board of Assessors is most grateful
for her 14 years of service with us, key to the
department's smooth and efficient operation.
These funds are administered by a board of three
trustees who are appointed by the Board of Select-
men to staggered six -year terms. It is the trus-
tees' responsibility to invest the funds prudently
within the limitations imposed by the donor or by
law and to distribute the income as specified by
the particular fund, They have informal telephone
meetings to take care of routine matters during the
year and meet formally several times a year to rati-

Appropriation Committee Urges Constraint
The Appropriation Committee has
viewed with considerable concern
the trend of the tax rate over
the last decade - -even with large
yearly increases in the property
evaluation as well as extensions
of local and state aid. A mod-
est tax increase in 1979 fol-
lowed by a decrease in 1980
seemed to herald a new era, but
a jump of $4.40 in 1981 immedi-
ately returned us to the ori-
ginal upward trend. The 1982
tax rate has yet to be deter-
mined as of the time of the
preparation of this report.

the intent of this legislation not be circumvented
by the introduction of other areas of taxation, or
the increase of fees other than real estate taxes,
if the positive potential effects are to be real-
ized. The majority of the voters who cast ballots
in the town supported this proposition. We do not
sense that the result would be different if the
matter were to appear on the ballot again this year.
The Appropriation Committee recognizes that the
transfer of a portion of available funds ( "free
cash ") can be used as a method to avoid the con-
straints imposed by Proposition 212. We discourage
the liberal use of such available funds as it de-
tracts from our long- standing efforts to maintain
the town in a strong fiscal position.
These efforts toward identifying and properly fund-
ing necessary services must be an on -going process.
At the same time, unnecessary expenditures must be
eliminated.
Prior to Town Meeting, the Appropriation Committee
met with all of the town boards and committees for
critical discussions of their budgets. Previous to
this, our subcommittees met with these groups to
ascertain that all of the items were reasonably jus-
tified. We were convinced that the line items con-
tained in Article 4 were all appropriate, assuming
the figures represented the cost of the level of
services that these boards perceived that the
residents were demanding.
Capital Expenditures Puts Cap on Projects
Because of the uncertain effects of operating under
Proposition 2z, the Capital Expenditures Committee,
in cooperation with other finance boards, the Town
Capital Expenditures Committee. Seated: Nyles
Barnert, Chairman. L/R standing: Clifford Porter,
Jane Buckley, Daniel McCabe. Absent: John Beaver.

Manager and the Board of Selectmen, recommended de-
ferral of most capital requests for the current
year. The only major funding approved was for the
completion of the sewer program and the town -wide
drainage study.
Decisions in the coming years will be very diffi-
cult. Although our borrowing position is in excel-
lent shape, with a rapidly declining debt and an
AAA bond rating, we continue to be cautious about
instituting new large -scale projects until the '
"anti- growth" provisions of Propositions 2 %Z are
clarified. On the other hand, failure to maintain
an adequate level of capital improvements can lead
to serious long -term problems. This committee will
continue to struggle to maintain fiscal stability
while still meeting the capital needs of the town.
Each year the committee evaluates requests for cap-
ital spending during the following five -year period.
This evaluation takes into consideration the rela-
tive need, cost, adequacy and timing of the various
projects, as well as the effect the expenditures
will have on the total town budget.

Despite Prop. 2 1/2, Treasurer Reports A Good Year
Compared with many towns in the Commonwealth, Lex-
ington fared well financially in Fiscal Year 1981.
It was a year when unbudgetted income helped to off-
set increased costs; when unexpended portions of the
budget permitted significant restoration of funds to
Excess and Deficiencies; when tighter town manage-
ment and the accumulated effects of closing four
elementary schools and one junior high school all
contributed to lessen, for fiscal year 1981, at
least,the early fears about the effects of "2�."
The high interest rates of the previous year were
exceeded in FY 1981. However, due to prudent poli-
cies throughout town government, Lexington was
largely in a creditor rather than a debtor position.
Interest earned on undisbursed revenue ranged from
12 3/4 percent to a phenomenally high twenty percent
and resulted in investment income of $984,981.
(This compares with $624,117 for the previous year.)
The town expended $990,000 for sewer construction
and $135,000 for purchase of conservation land.
These expenses were financed, initially, by short
term bank loans which were refinanced on June 15th,
in the very trough of rates, with a bond issue
maturing in five years at 7.20 percent.
Citizens must realize that an encore performance of
the financial operations of FY 1981 will be very
difficult indeed to achieve in the years ahead.
Although FY 1981 proved less severe than we first
feared, this is not the time to cry "Wolf, wolf."
Much will depend upon the underlying rate of infla-
tion. If the town is legally limited to increasing
real estate taxes by only 21-� percent annually, and
if wages and expenses continue to increase at seven
to ten percent annually, then stark choices such as
reducing services, imposing user fees, or allowing
deterioration of facilities, will have to be faced
by town Government.

By 1966 Town Meeting's vote to accept Chapter 777
of the Acts of 1965, the office of Comptroller was
stablished for our town. This focal point and
"watch dog" of town finances serves all departments,
boards, committees and commissions by accounting for
all revenue receipts and expenditures.
The official accounting records of the town includ-
ing the school department are maintained in this
office. All payments, both payrolls and bills, as
well as all related financial reports and records
are prepared here.
During 1981, this office processed over 35,000 pay-
roll checks, 13,000 bills payable checks, and issued

On July 1, we converted to the State's new Uniform
Municipal Accounting System. This system is design-
ed to provide more uniformity in financial reporting
and adherence to generally accepted accounting
principles.
After almost one year of analyzing and studying,
town offices obtained and installed word processing

added to this new labor- saving equipment. We will
continue to look at other applications for it.

1981 is the first year in which there has been no
outstanding balance for the previous year's real
estate taxes. Fiscal 1980 real estate books are
closed -- meaning 100 percent collection. Fiscal
1981 are 99.9 percent collected. 10,331 bills are
mailed out twice in a fiscal year plus demands,
telephone calls and letter writing.
Real estate bills are due and payable in the office
by 4:30 p.m. on November 1 and May 1 to escape the
14 percent interest per annum mandated by the Gen-
eral Laws. Demand notices with a $2 charge and
interest are usually mailed early in June for all
unpaid accounts. Bills mailed after October 1 or
30
Financial /Legal
April 1 are due within 30 days of postmark on
envelope. 215 personal property bills are also
mailed twice a year; the same law applies to them.
On October 13, 1981, sixteen of the 1981 unpaid
real estate taxes were advertised and taken on tax
title. These have been recorded at the Registry of
Deeds. Aside from the taxes due, there are fees,
charges and interest added before recording. By
law, a waiting period of six months is required be-
fore foreclosure proceedings commence. Any tax
title can be redeemed when the original amount and
the charges are paid in full. The fee for this is
$10 ($20 if land court), a town fee of $5 plus
additional interest.
Excise bills dropped from $66 to $25 per thousand on
the valuation of a vehicle. In spite of the lower
Tax Collector
charge, approximately the same number of bills re-
main unpaid. On the 61st day after the date of
issue, demand bills are mailed with an additional $2
charge. If left unpaid after 14 days of the demand
date, they are put in the hands of the deputy col-
lector. His warrant includes 12 percent interest,
$2 demand, $2 warrant and his fee of $5. For any
warrants still unpaid after seven days of this bill-
ing, the notices of suspension are sent to the
Registry of Motor Vehicles and the deputy fee be-
comes $15 plus all the other charges, and $5 for
the suspension release.
Water bills are still due within 30 days of January
1 and July 1. After 30 days, a demand fee of $1 is
added. In March any unpaid bill from the previous
January and /or July, including demand charges, is
liened onto the real estate tax bill for the follow-
ing November payment. Approximately 10,000 water
bills are mailed twice a year plus the demand bills.
When bills for sewer, street, sidewalk or water bet-
terments are mailed, one has the option of paying
within 30 days from the date on the bill or appor-
tioning the amount over 5, 10, 15 or 20 years at
five percent interest. If apportioned, the princi-
pal and interest appear on the real estate bill and
are due with the November payment.
Town Debt and Interest
Ambulance bill collection has always been a source
of trouble. Health insurance, Medicare or Medicaid,
may cover only a portion of the balance due. Pre-
sently all unpaid bills previous to 1980 are in the
hands of a collection agency. There are still some
1980 bills outstanding, and in a short time they,
too, will be turned over to the agency.
Municipal Liens - $15 and Betterment Discharge - $4.
These are usually requested by attorneys and /or
banks when property is being sold or a second mort-
gage issued. These monies are turned over to the
treasurer weekly.
All other monies are turned over daily to the trea-
surer for deposit and a daily schedule for work
done relating to these monies is submitted to the
comptroller's office. No original billing is done
in the collector's office and collection can only
be accepted on what has been committed to the de-
partment. Under the General Laws checks that are
returned from the bank marked insufficient funds
have a charge of $5 for checks of $500 or less or
one percent of the amount for any check over $500.
Much credit for smooth and cooperative work in the
collector's office is due the three clerks, Martina
Andersen, Anne Butler and Virginia Roberts.

Although the year 1981 could have been a quiet one,
there were a few unusual happenings. First,
special town meetings were held in January and in
April. Prior to this year, the last special town
meeting was held in December, 1977, and before that,
in June, 1971. Unlike many other towns in the
commonwealth, Lexington seems able to confine their
business deliberations to the annual town meeting
except in unusual circumstances.
Second, the annual town meeting was called for
March 16, and completed on June 8, although only
31
eight sessions were required to complete action on
the warrant. The uniqueness of this meeting, a
break of seven and one -half weeks from April 8 to
June 1, was a direct result of the passage of
"Prop 2V at the November, 1980, election. Town
officials awaited the receipt of the "Cherry Sheet"
before voting on any appropriations.
Another impact of "Prop 2�" was the need to increase
revenues for the town. For the first time (due to
a revision in the state statutes) town meeting was
allowed to change certain fees of the Town Clerk
which resulted in a $2,200. increase in fees over
a ten -month period. The fee increases were not in
effect until July 1. Therefore, the actual yearly
growth will not show up until next year.

Proposition 2 1/2 Complicates Town Clerk's Year

Part Time 56
Although the year 1981 could have been a quiet one,
there were a few unusual happenings. First,
special town meetings were held in January and in
April. Prior to this year, the last special town
meeting was held in December, 1977, and before that,
in June, 1971. Unlike many other towns in the
commonwealth, Lexington seems able to confine their
business deliberations to the annual town meeting
except in unusual circumstances.
Second, the annual town meeting was called for
March 16, and completed on June 8, although only
31
eight sessions were required to complete action on
the warrant. The uniqueness of this meeting, a
break of seven and one -half weeks from April 8 to
June 1, was a direct result of the passage of
"Prop 2V at the November, 1980, election. Town
officials awaited the receipt of the "Cherry Sheet"
before voting on any appropriations.
Another impact of "Prop 2�" was the need to increase
revenues for the town. For the first time (due to
a revision in the state statutes) town meeting was
allowed to change certain fees of the Town Clerk
which resulted in a $2,200. increase in fees over
a ten -month period. The fee increases were not in
effect until July 1. Therefore, the actual yearly
growth will not show up until next year.

Board of Registrars
Gather Wealth of Information
TOTAL PERSONAL SERVICES $ 7,924

Part Time 30
If the duties of the Board of Registrars consisted
only of registering voters, 1981 would have been a
very lean year. Only a few names were added to the
voting list during registration for the annual town
election, the only election in 1981. This is not
unusual in the year after a presidential election.
The other duty of the Registrars -- conducting the
annual town and school census in January served as
the basis for much of the mandated work done in the
course of the year for the School Department, the
Board of Registrars and Town Clerk. The computer-
ized census information enabled us to compile list-
ings such as the voting list, jury list and dog -
owners list.
A notice was sent to every registered voter whose
name was not listed as a resident advising him or
her of removal from the voting list unless proof of
present Lexington residence could be demonstrated.
A new and revised voting list was compiled as of
July 1 from the additions and deletions reflected
in the census reports.
The names of all residents seventeen years of age or
older was printed and made available to the public
as required by law. To answer the need for in-
creased revenue as well as to make the books more
cost effective, the price this year was increased
to $10 per copy.
The dog owner list couples each dog with its proper
owner. The accuracy of this seemingly trivial in-
formation could be crucial to assure that the cor-
rect person is summoned if owner of an unlicensed
or unruly dog should require legal proceedings.
The importance of accuracy and completeness in the
annual census canr�ot be overly emphasized, as any
lack or misinformation could cause untold problems
for individuals and the town.
Board of Retirement: New Member Elected
The Board of Retirement met at least once a month
during 1981. At the 1981 Annual Town Meeting,
$925,463 was appropriated to the contributory re-
tirement pension fund as the town's share of retire-
ment allowances for the 1982 fiscal year, and $5,600
was appropriated for the board's operating expenses.
In addition, $190,000 was appropriated to fund pen-
sion payments of non - contributory members or their

beneficiaries. Town employees, through payroll de-
ductions, contributed over $400,000 to the fund.
The town appropriated an additional $200,000 to help
meet its unfunded pension liability. This makes a
total of $700,000 appropriated for this purpose
since funding started in 1978 and over $120,000 has
been added through investment earnings.
As of December 31, 1981, there were 261 contributory
retirees, an increase of 21 during the year, There
are also 20 non - contributory retirees.
An election was held on June 25, 1981, for the em-
ployee's representative position on the board for a
term of office from July 1, 1981, to June 30, 1984,
with the following results;

Cary Memorial Library Joins Electronic Network
1981 FISCAL YEAR EXPENDITURES
The major event of the year past has been the Li-
brary's membership in " NELINET," originally the New
England Library Information Network, through which
Cary has joined an electronic network connecting
over 2,000 libraries of all sizes and types
throughout the country. NELINET is basically a
cataloging system for the retrieval and production
of records, especially catalog cards. The new
system also greatly simplifies interlibrary loan
and is now forming the basis for the computeriza-
tion of circulation routines such as overdue noti-
ces and reserves. The capital outlay for such a
circulation system is currently estimated at
$150,000 for 1984 -85. Costs may be reduced by the
further refinement of the technology involved, or
by joining with another library or libraries to
share in the cost of a computer. The planning com-
mittee that recommended the NELINET membership is
currently investigating such systems. An advantage
of a properly functioning system is expected to be
improved control of operating costs by keeping bet-
ter track of borrowers with unreturned material, by
insuring payment of fines owed and by encouraging
timely return of materials. At the same time, ser-
vice ought to be improved through a more efficient
reserve system and the ability to locate missing
material quickly.
Another planning committee appointed by the Trus-
tees and including staff, student and patron repre-
sentation is concerned with the Young People's
collection and services. A report last year noted
the continuing challenge of young adult service and
its relationship and coordination with both chil-
dren's and adult service, as well as with services
of the junior high and high schools. There is a
concern that young adult services are not reaching
all who could benefit.
Some budget restrictions did result from the pas-
sage of Proposition 211. This came at a time of
increasing use and continuing inflation. Your li-
brary attempted reductions in areas that would
cause the least inconvenience. Friday evenings
were chosen for closing both at the main and branch
libraries after a thorough survey showed this to be
the least busy time. It was also decided to send
the first overdue notices to adults after about
eight or more weeks rather than four. This does
place a greater burden on adult patrons, but the
result saves both time and postage and does not af-
fect service adversely. A duplicate pay collection
at ten cents per day has been reestablished for
best sellers. We still have free copies of all
books; the revised system does allow the option of
much quicker access to these popular titles at a
small fee, but without the need for the reserve
postal fee.
Work has been completed on the replacement of the
loose stucco facade on the new addition and on the
necessary window replacement on the east wall. The
parking situation of course suffered during this
work, but is now returning to normal.
CARY IN THE NEWS
The year's most pleasant event was a reception for
Ruth Morey arranged by current and past trustees,
Advisory Committee members and staff in honor of
over 30 continuous years of remarkable service by
Mrs. Morey, including terms as President of the
Board, Advisory Committee member and Trustee.
Several new members were appointed to the Advisory

years as trustee and advisory committee member.
very much appreciated and led to much enjoyment.
The Library likewise receives and appreciates many
gifts from individuals for books, especially as
memorials and gifts of books that are either used
here or sold to purchase needed titles. A special
fund set up this year by the family and friends of
the late Mrs. Evelyn M. Brunn was used for the pur-
chase of a new wooden riding train and an educa-
tional collection of stuffed animals for the
Children's Library.
A number of Lexington organizations made generous
gifts to the Library this year. These include the
Women's Republican Club (history books) and the
Lions Club (large type collection). Many local or-
ganizations also donated to the Handley Fund, which
is now over $1,400.00. Through the support of
Honeywell and Ginn, two museums were added to those
for which free admission passes are available to
Lexingtonians: the Museum of Transportation and
the Children's Museum. The Library, in addition,
has memberships in the DeCordova, Drumlin Farm and
the Museum of Fine Arts. Passes for these museums
may be reserved in person or by phone.
PUBLICATIONS
The Library publishes a leaflet on its services,
and a Guide to the Study of Lexington which is a
comprehensive listing of materials from all periods
with an emphasis on those in the Lexington
Collection.
Cary Lectures Feature Past, Present and Future
The eruption of Mt. St. Helens provided the Cary
Lecture topic in February. Mr. Lawrence Malincon-
ico from the Earth Science Department at Dartmouth
College illustrated his lecture with spectacular
slides taken at the site.
On April 11, 1981, Dr. Yigal Shiloh presented "The
Story of Masada in the Light of the Archaeological
Discoveries ". This program was presented within
one week after the television extravaganza "Masada ",
resulting in a large and interested audience.
The third program was presented on May 2, 1981, by
Mr. Ben Casados, key NASA lecturer and featured out-
standing slides and computer enhanced movies of
recent deep space probe activity.
Plans are now underway for programs including lec-
tures on botany and genetic engineering. The
Dance Collective, a Lexington based modern dance
company, will present a concert on May 1, 1982.
All lectures and programs are held at Cary Memorial
Hall beginning at 8 P.M. and are free of charge as
specified by the supporting grant from the Trustees
of the Isaac Harris Cary Educational Fund under the
Life Quality
terms of the will of Eliza Cary Farnham and Susanna
E. Cary.
Program suggestions in writing are always welcome
from interested residents.

Recreation Department Fulfills A, Need

TOTAL PERSONNEL Full -time 2

With the belt tightening that has been demanded of
municipal government, as well as the stretching of
family budgets, the Recreation Department has tried
to develop programs which fulfill some of the
leisure interests that people used to seek else-
where, or can no longer afford to do as often, and
at the same time increase income to offset cost but
not to such an extent that it limits participation.
Ski programs were again in demand. Cross country
clinics were held at Willards Woods, and there was
actually snow! The January trip to Mt. Watatic
found good conditions, but a February school vaca-
tion trip to New Hampshire had to be cancelled.
The weatherman brought warm rain and washed away
whatever snow was left on the ground.
With the blooming of Spring came the demand for
ballfields. The telephone rang off the hook each
Monday morning, and the lines formed at the office.
Many of those who waited until later in the week
were unsuccessful in obtaining a field reservation.
There were four adult leagues and six youth leagues
competing with local companies and residents for
field space. For years now, the Recereation Com-
mittee has seen a need for additional ballfields.
Current planning in the capital budget reflects
this need. As the demand for ballfields continues
to increase, so does the pressure in scheduling.
The Center Field recreation area is the focal point
of many residents' evening hours during the spring
and summer months. During activities such as band
concerts, youth baseball, soccer leagues, adult
basketball and softball, tennis lessons, and pick-
up games, swimming, bike riding and strolling, one
can always find a familiar face.
Popularity of tennis seems to be on the decline.
Because the tennis sign -in program was limited to
weekends only, players were encouraged to make
court reservations for other peak hours. The cost
of making a reservation increased from $.25 to
$1.00. Because of this cost increase, participants
tended to wait for an available court and took
their chances.
The new town pool complex was open for its first
full season with an average of 7600 swimmers the
first week alone. The three sessions of swimming
classes had waiting lists. Diving lessons were in
demand. Noontime and late afternoon adult lap
swims proved popular, and many residents enjoyed
an evening dip at the end of each workday.
Due to Prop 212 cutbacks, the Recreation Department
recommended the reduction in summer operating hours
at the Res. The community opposed this cost cut-
ting and voted an additional $8000 on Town Meeting
floor in order to reinstate full Res hours.
35
Informal recreation at Hastings Park.
The summer recreation program for youths offered a
variety of new activities. Fifty youngsters par-
ticipated in a two -week basketball clinic at the
Center courts. An average of 20 boys and girls
were in attendance at the arts and crafts drop -in
center offered at the high school. An all new
morning playground program with a weekly central-
ized special event activity was available at Frank-
lin, Hastings, Estabrook, Adams, and Fiske schools.
Events included a track meet, frisbee contest,
field day at the Res, and a Challenge Day to sug-
gest a few. Weekly field trips also proved popular
to youth and families. Participants explored
Georges Island and Willard Brook State Park, rode
the amusements at Canobie Lake Park, and sunned
and swam at Wingaersheek and Crane's beaches.
The Lexington High School gym and field house even-
ing program has maintained a high level of partici-
pation. Sandy Russian, instructor for the exercise
program for the past 12 years, has managed to de-
velop a large and faithful following each Tuesday
and Thursday evening. The basketball court and

weekday morning as well as evening.
Cooperative programming and shared costs have
proved an asset to providing leisure opportunities
to some Lexingtonians. For the past two summers,
the Town of Winchester has joined with Lexington to
provide a summer day activities program to special
needs children from the two communities. Also, a
theatre trip to see Peter Pan at the Met Center was
made possible through this joint effort.
The Preschool PTA was responsible for the new tot
climbing structure planned for the Center Play-
ground. Through their efforts and with the coop-
eration of Minuteman Vocational School, who built
the structure, the apparatus was completed in
November. Installation will be finished in the
Spring of 1982.
Two projects were on the warrant for Town Meeting
vote. One proposal requested a $10,000 allocation
for locating a water supply for the Old Res. As of
this writing, the search has begun, but an adequate
source has not been uncovered. Also voted was
$41,700 to reconstruct the four tennis courts at
Valley and Adams play areas and to resurface six of
the ten courts at the Center. Work has commenced
on these courts and completion is estimated for
June, 1982.
The 8.8 miles of bicycle paths which connect many
of the schools with the Center of Lexington were
completed in the Spring. This project was 3/4
funded through Chapter 90 funds from the State.
Through the efforts of the police bicycle safety
officer, Peter Mills, and bicycle subcommittee
members Alice Hinkle, and Betsy Whitman, as well
as the Minuteman Vocational School, a map of the
bike paths was made available to the public.
Battle Green Guides
Welcome Many Tourists
This past year was certainly a busy one for the
official guides on the Battle Green. Tourists from
all 50 states and many foreign countries visited
Lexington Green and the historic houses. In 1981, as
usual, during the fall foliage season buses toured
the Battle Green and were a common sight during the
months of September and October.
A record number of eleven new guides passed their
written and oral examinations and were further
trained by the senior guides. The new guides were
quite an advantage at the height of the tourist
season. A total of twenty -six guides received their

White Hat Award: Long Service Recognized
Dr. Mary Perry receives the White Hat award from Dan
McCabe as other White Hat winners look on.
Before an enthusiastically approving Patriots Day
audience, Lions Club president Dan McCabe presented
the traditional White Hat to Dr. Mary Perry.
In introducing Dr. Perry, Mr. McCabe noted that she
"exemplifies the qualities that the White Hat award
stand for as a citizen who has demonstrated dedica -
tion to the principles of good citizenship and who
has advanced the American way of life, giving un-
selfishly of her time and talents over the years
beyond the normal bounds of her occupation."
Educated at Jackson College and Tufts Medical
School, she interned at New England Hospital for
Women, the Philadelphia Childrens' Hospital and
Duke University Hospital. She began her pediatric
practice in Lexington 36 years ago. In the audience
were many former patients, some grown to adulthood
with children of their own who are part of the
"second generation" of her practice.
The White Hat has been presented by the Lexington
Lions Club since 1954 and has come to symbolize
Lexington's citizen of the year award. Others who
have received the award, beginning in 1954, have
been: Edwin B. Worthen, Albert Burnham, John
Garrity, Rev. Harold T. Handley, William E. Maloney,
Dr. Fred S. Piper, Thomas Grindle, William Roger
Greeley, Albert G. Frothingham, Margaret Keefe,
Eleanor B. Litchfield, Rev. Msgr. George W. Casey,
and Joseph 0. Rooney.
Also, Donald E. Nickerson, Alan G. Adams, Dr. Win-
throp H. Harrington, Michael Vidette, Sr., Louis A.
Tropeano, George W. Emery, Louis A. Zehner, Irving
H. Mabee, Richard A. Michelson, Ruth Morey, Levi
Burnell, Donald Gillespie and William Fitzgerald.
Historical Commission Adds to Inventory
This Historical Commission continued its efforts to
preserve local historic properties, responding to
requests from townspeople for information about his-
toric preservation or building history in Lexington.
The inventory of the town's historically and archi-
tecturally significant Rroperties is close to com-
pletion. Nearly 200 photographs were added to the
files which share space with the Lexpress office.
This inventory contains maps and architectural and
historical descriptions of structures throughout
the town.
Several Historical Commission members lent support
to the effort to rehabilitate the Garrity House on
Hancock Street. Two members have been serving ac-
tively on the Garrity House Committee along with
appointees from additional interested groups.
The Commission detailed a recommendation that the
Adams School building be included in the East Lex-
ington Historic Distric to ensure that any design
changes be compatible with the historic character of
the area.
The Commission welcomes two newly appointed mem-
bers, Ed Donnelly and Roland Gubisch, who replace
John Orcutt and Anne Grady, and gives special
thanks to Anne Grady for the outstanding contribu-
tions she has made.
Historic District Commission
Looks Forward
We have had a quiet year, with fewer applications
than usual, and relatively little controversy.
This has given us time to advertise our existence
with a letter to residents of the four districts
and a map to realtors. We think this information
will be useful to all who receive it.
The next year or two may find us busier. In addi-
tion to plans for the Garrity House, we must deal
37
with Adams School which we would like to see added
to the East Village District. There will be pro-
posals for Muzzey Junior High School, the Munroe
School and parking in Lexington Center. Many
townspeople have devoted long hours to these pro-
jects, and we hope we can help them reach decisions
that will maintain, or even enhance, the beauty of
our historic town.

Celebrations Prevail Despite 2 1/2 Cuts
The newly- formed Police Honor Guard strides forth
on Patriots Day.
Observances of Patriots Day, Memorial Day and Vet-
erans Day were carried out with traditional elan,
despite budget restrictions, thanks largely to ex-
tra help extended to the Town Celebrations Committee
by the Chamber of Commerce, Lodge of Elks and
numerous businesses and citizens.
The 206th anniversary of "That Glorious Morning for
America" began Monday, April 20, at 5:30 a.m., when
Martin Gilman sounded the alarm from the Old Belfry
with many local churches chiming in.
The battle reenactment followed, then the Youth
Parade headed by Chief Marshall Mary Concieson,
High School Senior Class President, with classmates
Jeff Anderson, Miki Yoshino, Tina Reiling, David
Shaw, Bronwen Pugh and Brad Moore,
Theme for the morning observances on the Battle
Green was "A Renewed Dedication- -Let It Begin
Here." Among those taking part: High School Band,
Police Honor Guard, The Rev. Arnold Colletti, Rev,
Ted Petterson and Sea Scout Ship #138 Flag Detail,
Youth Award winners were Matthew Burlage, Mary
Concieson and Dean Madden. The Lawrence E. Stone
Award went to Robert Scott of the Hayden Recreation
Drum Corps. Other morning traditions included
awarding the White Tricon Hat, five mile road race,
pancake breakfasts, and services by the Daughters
of the American Revolution and Minute Men.
In the flaat competition, the Youth Division winner
was the Lexington Girl Scouts, followed by the Cub
Scouts and DeMolay. The Civic Division winner was
the Folk Art Center followed by the Lodge of Elks
and Follen Community Center.
Chief Marshall Robert C. Jackson, Lt. Col, U.S.A.
(Ret.) and Chief of Staff Jerome F. Garrity, Comman-
Life Quality
der, Lexington Post VFW, led the afternoon parade of
four divisions of bands, marching units, color

Planning Board Initiates Change in Emphasis
Planning Board. L/R seated:
Jacquelyn Smith, Karsten Soren
Vice Chairman; Frank Sandy, Ch.
man; Laura Nichols; Iris Wheat
Standing: Lorraine Salto, Sec
tary; Robert Bowyer, Planning
tor. Absent: Steven Asen, As
ant Planner.
Nineteen eighty -one was a year in which the Planning
Board began to shift its emphasis from the admini-
stration of zoning and subdivision regulations back
to a focus on policy making and comprehensive
planning.
Zoning and Traffic, Hartwell Avenue: The board
issued a policy statement on the relationship be-
tween additional traffic and the rezoning of land in
the Bedford Street - Hartwell Avenue area. The state-
ment argued that no additional land should be re-
zoned to permit commercial development until traffic
improvements proposed by the Town are made. The
board's analysis showed about 600,000 square feet of
new floor space (a 33 percent increase above the
existing commercial development) had received per-
mits from the town. Traffic from this new develop-
ment has not yet appeared on the already overbur-
dened Bedford Street and Hartwell Avenue. The Town
Meeting defeated a proposed rezoning for additional
development at the corner of Hartwell Avenue and
Wood Street. The Planning Board policy was further
supported in December when traffic consultants to
the Engineering Department projected a 40 percent
increase in traffic in the area and recommended the
construction of an underpass to replace the existing
Bedford Street - Hartwell Avenue "jughandle."
The board adopted another policy stating that all
new commercial development on land in the commercial
zones in the Hartwell Avenue - Bedford Street area
should take steps to reduce the amount of traffic
during peak hours. The Board of Appeals, whose
action would have been required to implement the
policy, did not follow the Planning Board's recom-
mendation and granted special permits that did not
require developers of new buildings to reduce
traffic movement during peak hours.
Lexington Center Revitalization: Attention to pol-
icy issues permitted the Town Meeting to take the
first significant action on parking improvements in
Lexington Center since 1972. Analysis showed that
the town provided about 580 free parking spaces,
most of which were taken up by all -day employee
parking while customers could not find sufficient
parking. The new policy is that the needs of "turn-
over" parking for customers will be satisfied first,
with the remaining spaces available for all day
employee parking. Another major policy change is
that the town will now charge some type of fee for
39
all its parking spaces in the center, so that the
parking program will be self- supporting and will no
longer be dependent on the real estate tax levy.
Economic surveys of center businesses and of house-
holds in Lexington were initiated late in 1981. The
results of those surveys will be the basis of policy
discussions in 1982 of how effectively the Lexing-
ton center business area serves the needs of the
town and its own economic vitality.
Three Planning Board members serve on the Center
Revitalization Committee and the Planning Director
is its principal staff resource.
Construction Standards, Unaccepted Streets: The
board also addressed the long- standing problem of
construction of new houses on existing unaccepted
streets, most of which are dirt roads and some of
which are barely passable. The Zoning By -Law re-
quires that the Planning Board make a finding as to
the adequacy of the construction of unaccepted
streets before a building permit can be issued for a
new home. With the recommendation of the Town En-
gineer, the board developed construction standards
that are less stringent than the town's standards
for new streets, but will still require that many of
the unaccepted streets be improved, at the devel-
oper's expense, in front of the lot on which the
building is being constructed. That is comparable
to the situation in a subdivision where the devel-
oper bears the expense of installing the street and
utilities.
Procedures for Zoning Amendments: A proposal to
change the Zoning Map for an RD (residential) or CD
(commercial) district requires that the Town Meeting
approve a specific site development plan. The board
adopted a policy covering each stage of an RD or CD
zoning amendment, indicating to developers what
plans and other documentation are needed. The board
desires to have the review process start earlier and
to avoid last- minute changes in plans.
1980 Census: The preliminary population count from
the U.S. Census taken on April 1, 1980, is 29,479, a
loss of 2,407 people from the 1970 population which
was 31,886. The preliminary count of housing units
is 9,781, an increase of 922 from the 1970 housing -
unit count of 8,859. One might wonder how the num-
ber of housing units would increase by 10.4 percent

while the population decreased by 7.6 percent. Ac-
cording to the town's records, the number of chil-
dren from age 0 through grade 12 declined by 4,124
between 1970 and 1980. The ratio of children per
household and persons per household declined and
there are now many more households with no children
at all. When complete census returns are published
in 1982, a more detailed analysis of these important
demographic changes will be made.
Subdivision Activity: The board approved four
definitive subdivision plans which include a total
of 29 house lots and one preliminary plan for 20
house lots. With the cooperation of the developer,
the Trodden Path subdivision off Concord Avenue and
Blossom Street will include an area to be construc-
ted as an informal play area to serve a neighborhood
that does not now have a recreation area.
Housing: The Planning Board reviewed its previous
policy advocating the inclusion of low and moderate
income housing in proposals seeking rezoning for in-
creased density (RD) and has reaffirmed that policy.
Progress has been slow in actually acquiring the two
units at Morrow Crossing and the ten units at Potter
Pond which has been promised (as part of the site
development plan presented to Town Meeting) for such
housing. It is believed that the concerns raised by
HUD regarding condominium association obligations
Conservation Commission:
can be adequately addressed in future submissions
for increased density development, i.e., by placing
the units on separate lots and thereby excluding
them from the condominium association. The board is
currently studying alternate methods of implementing
this policy.
Planning Board Operations: In order to emphasize
planning activites and to adjust to a Proposition
2 1/2 reduction in the budget that cut the amount of
staff time available, an effort has been made to
streamline Planning Board operations. Substantial
progress has been made in subdivision review by re-
quiring developers to submit material as specified
in the "Subdivision Rules and Regulations" and by
not accepting sloppy or incomplete work. The new
RD, CD guidelines are another program of improving
the review process.
Iris Wheaton served as Chairman until June; Frank
Sandy succeeded her and is the current chairman.
Lorraine.Salto, a Concord Avenue resident, joined
the staff as secretary.
Editor's Note: The above write -up is a "first" on
the town's new word processor. Next year's entire
Town Report shouZd be more easiZy typed and edited
because of this pioneer effort.
A Moratorium on Acquisition
The Conservation Act of the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts enabled the Town in 1963 to establish a
conservation commission for the "promotion and de-
velopment of the natural resources and for the pro-
tection of the watershed resources." These purposes
are accomplished through land acquisition, land
management and wetland protection.
Land Acquisition: The uncertainty of the impact of
Proposition 2� postponed the land acquisition pro-
gram for 1981. Although this decision was reluc-
Farm Pond in Parker Meadow received its name early
in 1981 following a naming contest.

Environment
tantly accepted by Town Meeting, the commission be-
lieves it to be the correct one. The Town Meeting
did transfer approximately twenty acres of tax -
title and town -owned land to the jurisdiction of
the commission. (Land off Grassland Street, Vyne-
brook Village, the Lower Vine Brook, North Street,
at Butterfield Pond and the Tophet Swamp.) This
action allows for a better land management of
community open space.
Land Management: The Conservation Director with
the assistance of the Department of Public Works
Park Division made improvements in several conser-
vation areas. In Dunback Meadow, the red pines
were pruned to provide a better view from Marrett
Road; the fields were mowed (after the nesting
season) to control growth; and a bridge was con-
structed across the Clematis Brook near Bowman
School. A vehicular bridge was constructed in Par-
ker Meadow to allow access to the back field, as
well as for recreational use of the area. In co-
operation with the town of Arlington, improvements
were made to control access points to the Great
Meadow and thereby to encourage proper use of this
unique tract of land. Many hours of work for main-
tenance and beautification were donated by indivi-
dual citizens, youth organizations and, in parti-
cular, the Lexington Field and Garden Club.
Community gardens continue to expand. They provide
an opportunity for more than 200 local citizens to
Conservation Commission
enjoy an outdoor activity while providing their
families with a supply of fresh vegetables. The
gardens are located at Idylwilde, Shaker Glen,
Dunback Meadow and a new area off Grove Street near
the Paint Mine. A new area off Allen Street (Dun -
back Meadow) is planned for next year. The garden
program, now is in its tenth year, has become in-
creasingly popular as gardeners experiment with new
methods and novel crops. Some larger tracts (2 -10
acres) of conservation land were leased to local
farmers, who in turn harvest vegetables and hay for
local consumption.
Wetland Protection: The need to protect the re-
maining wetlands becomes more urgent as developable
land disappears. Under the Wetland Protection Act
of the Commonwealth (Ch. 131, Sec. 40), and the
town's Wetland By -Law (Article XXXIII), the Commis-
sion received twenty applications to alter wetlands
Subsequently, following a site inspection, hearing
and deliberations are held and an Order of Condi-
tions is issued, which in one case included a
denial to alter. Alteration of wetlands also in-
cludes the monitoring of illegal filling and
dumping which has become acute with the closing of
the town's sanitary landfill. The following wet-
land hearings were held (State wetland file numbers
201 -99 through -119 and By -Law file numbers 46
through 64):

mission, leads Arlington- Lexington conservation walk

Community Interaction: In addition to the above
functions, the Commission encourages residents to
become more familiar with open space in the town.
Continuing the tradition of "know your conservation
land," the Commission sponsored a walk through
Cranberry Hill in early May. Although the weather
was wet, a few hardy souls explored the area with
Susan and Stanley Solomon as leaders. On an over-
cast October Sunday, more than 200 people filled
the Great Meadow, under the sponsorship of the
Arlington and Lexington Conservation Commissions,
the Citizens for Lexington Conservation and a
group of enthusiastic leaders. An encore is planned
for Spring, 1982. Kudos to the Minute -Man and
reporter Alice Hinkle, who assisted in this
community interaction.
Membership Changes: The Commission is a seven -
member board appointed by the Town Manager with ap-
proval of the Board of Selectmen. Shirley Stolz
did not accept reappointment in April, and Francis
Fields resigned in November. Ruth Mitchell was ap-
pointed in June, John Oberteuffer and John Eddison
in November.
The work of the commission is administed by W.
Clifford Prentiss, Conservation Director, and
Laurie Macauda, Secretary, who deal ably with town
agencies, boards and citizens.
Fence Viewers Urge Neighbors' Communication
The official jurisdiction of the fence viewers is
limited to fences abutting town land. Most quer-
ies directed to fence viewers seek information
about casual details and can easily be answered over
over the phone. Often these calls relate to line
fences between neighbors. In these cases, the role
of the fence viewers is to explain the law and to
act as a peacemaker. They have no authority to im-
41
pose a settlement; if mediation does not work, the
solution rests with the courts.
It is unhappily true that lack of communication be-
tween neighbors is the most common source of dis-
putes over line fences. If anyone plans to build a
line fence, the best advice is not to act unilater-
ally. Be sure of your assumptions and then discuss
your plans with your neighbors.

Board of Appeals Permits Signal Trends
Board of Appeals. L/R seated: Thomas Taylor, Robert Gary; Natalie Riffin, Vice - Chairman; Woodruff
Brodhead, Chairman; Evelyn Cole, Clerk; Irving H. Mabee; Peter DiMatteo, Building Commissioner. Associate
Members standing: Eric Clarke, Clarence Turner, Ruth Morey, Jonathan Doran, William Hays. Absent: Anne
Scigliano.
The Board of Appeals operates under the authority
of Chapter 40A of the Zoning Act of Massachusetts,
of the Zoning By -Law of Lexington and of the Town
of Lexington General Laws. To quote briefly from
Section 14 of 40A (Powers of the Board of Appeals):
(1) To hear and decide appeals in accordance with
Section 8, 40A (persons aggrieved by inability to
obtain a permit or enforcement act from any admin-
istrative office).
(2) To hear and decide applications for special
permits.
(3) To hear and decide petitions for variances.
In exercising the powers granted by this section,
a board of appeals may, in conformity with the pro-
visions of this chapter, make orders or decisions,
reverse or affirm in whole or in part, or modify
any order or decision, and to that end shall have
all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal
is taken and may issue or direct the issuance of
a permit.
The board consists of five regular members appointed
by the selectmen for five -year terms. Annually, the
selectmen also appoint six associate members for
one -year terms to substitute for any regular members
who are unable to serve at a particular meeting.
The board met 23 times during 1981 and heard 106 pe-
titions. These are listed in Part II of this report
The board considered nine site plan reviews as com-
pared with four the previous year. Seven of these
were office buildings and two involved housing.
Permits were granted for 18 signs versus seven last
year. Five food establishments were reviewed for
permits. Twelve variances for additions to resi-
dences were granted in 1981 and eight were granted
to maintain existing structures.
42
Environment
In November, the new section 7.4.9 of the Zoning
By -Law went into effect allowing the board to grant
a special permit to maintain certain noncomplying
buildings instead of issuing a variance.
Our former chairman, Ruth Morey, who has so ably
served the town in many ways, retired as a regular
member. However, we are pleased that she continues
to serve as an associate member and thus gives us
the benefit of her knowledge and experience.
The board wishes to thank Robert V. Whitman and Wil-
liam J. Scouler, who retired as associate members,
and to welcome new associate members: Jonathan P.
Doran and Anne P. Scigliano. Robert Gary, formerly
an associate member, was appointed a regular member
for a five -year term.

1981 was the biggest year ever in office building
construction -- either new buildings or additions
and alterations. (See Part II for statistical
breakdown.) With approximately 500,000 square feet
of new or added -on office space and a value of ap-
proximately $16,000,000, the total value of con-
struction for 1981 exceeds $25,000,000. This is
an all -time high.
Trends of last year have persisted. Since land is
at a premium, more additions are being constructed
than ever before. Major alterations to existing
houses continue briskly. 1981 saw a shift from
wood stoves to coal stoves and a sharp increase in
solar hot water systems and greenhouses - -all with
an eye toward energy conservation.
Judging by this year's applications for permits,
next year promises more office buildings and sin-
gle family subdivisions, as well as an increase in
additions, alterations and energy- conserving devices.
Retail and office space expands in the Center.

LHA Starts Elderly Units, Acquires Some Condos
Groundbreaking ceremony for the sixty -unit Elderly Housing at Countryside Village. L/R First Row: William
Sullivan, Lexington Housing Authority; William Spencer, L.H.A.; Arthur Shompe, L.H.Hewett; Margery Battin,
Selectman; Joe Rooney, L.H.A. Chairman; Alfred Busa, Selectman Chairman; Donald Wilson, L.H.A. Vice -
Chairman; Robert Campbell, Interact, Inc. L/R Second Row: Robert Adam, Adam Swenson Design Architects;
John Connors and George Reese, Weston Associates, Temple Scanlon, L.H.A. Executive Director; Richard
O'Neil, Interact Inc.; Frederick De Angelis, L.H.A. Attorney.
Fall, 1981, saw the start of our sixty -unit HUD -
financed elderly /handicapped project at Countryside.
The developer, Weston Associates Inc., expects to
have the apartments ready for occupancy by early
fall, 1982. The Authority's office and maintenance
facilities will be moved to the new location.
In December, the transfer of seven condominium units
at Parker School to the town for lease to families
of low and moderate income by the Authority was ac-
complished. Occupancy of these two- bedroom apart-
ments is scheduled for January, 1982.
Acquisition of two condo units at Morrow Crossing
and ten units at Potter Pond development does not
appear possible. HUD funds which have been set
aside cannot be used unless some way can be found
to exempt the Authority owned units from assessments
for "frills" or amenities that are not considered
necessary for low and moderate income housing under
HUD regulations. Permission has been requested of
the Executive Office of Communities and Development
to use funds reserved under the State 705 -3 program
for this acquisition. While the acquisition cost
is considerably lower than the market value, EOCD's
position is that more can be done with the limited
state funds in other communities where acquisition
costs are considerably lower.
Under the State 707 program, we are providing rental
subsidy for sixteen low income families and for 58
families through the HUD Section 8 Program.

Continuing responsibilities include eighteen single
family LEA owned and rented to families, two housing
areas for the elderly - -100 unit Greeley Village
opened in September, 1968, and 48 unit Vynebrooke
Village, opened in March, 1973. Both offer various
services for the elderly. Well- elderly clinics are
conducted at both sites, and the Recreation Depart-
ment and Cary Library bring materials. Bus service
is available to Lexington Center and other shopping
areas.
The Authority is a corporate political body com-
posed of five members serving five -year terms; four
are elected and one is appointed by the Secretary of
Executive Office of Communities and Development.
The Authority operates under Chapter 121B of the
Commonwealth and has the power to finance through
federal, state or private sources or sell its own
tax - exempt bonds or notes. The Authority also has
the power of eminent domain.
The Authority employs two full -time persons on its
maintenance staff. Regular meetings are held on the
third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. Special
meetings are called as the need arises. The Annual
Meeting and Election of Authority officers is held
on the third Tuesday in April. All meetings are
open, and the public is invited to attend.
Council on Aging Expands Meals Program
The continued goal of the Council on Aging is to
help create a reasonable living environment for the
elderly who wish to continue living in Lexington.
The CoA also serves as advocate for over 5200
senior citizens.
Because of the popularity of the congregate meals at
the CoA center, we have expanded our program to two
days per seek with the hope that we can further ex-
pand to a regular four -day per week program. An
average of 45 meals per day is now served.
We are anxious to expand this program as we antici-
pate an even greater demand due to rising costs of
both food and home heating oil. We expect more
people will want both the daily food program and
the chance for companionship in an attractive,
well- heated environment.
This year we volunteered rooms at our center to the
Adult Education program for classrooms. This fall
there are seven classes, and the arrangement is
working out to the benefit of all.
Friends of the council conducted a raffle and
raised over $1600. The Friends also furnished one
of our new rooms and paid for many smaller items.
They are also holding a Christmas Fair. These
projects help senior citizens get acquainted and
help dispel loneliness.
The Friendly Visitor Program was rejuvenated by the
addition of Donald Frost, an intern from Mystic Val-
ley Mental Health. He is training Lexington High
School students to be Friendly Visitors. We like
the interaction of students and senior citizens.
Minuteman Home Care Corporation gave us a grant for
purchasing a typewriter and serving utensils for
the congregate meals program. MHCC continues to
provide home aide and home health services to
income - eligible senior citizens.
Some goals fulfilled:
Expansion of congregate meals.
Friends of the Council increasingly active and
supportive.
Grant monies received.
Future Aims:
Further expansion of congregate meals.
Extended outreach to the hidden elderly.
Relocation into permanent headquarters with room
for expansion.
A senior aide to head the meals program.

Youth Commission: Continuity Amidst Change
There is entirely new blood in the adult membership
of the Youth Commission this year, but some stal-
wart youth members have remained in order to en-
hance continuity.
The major effort of the Commission this year will
be to proceed toward a long -range plan. The first
step is a needs assessment. This will involve a
pair of surveys, one to be issued to students and
one to parents. The surveys will explore awareness
or satisfaction with local programs and services.
They will seek to discover areas in which problems
lie such as these: How serious is alcohol use? Is
pressure an issue? What do kids and parents feel
they need?
During the summer the youth employment service,
Hire a Youth, found jobs for nearly a hundred Lex-
ington teens using staff support of an intern in
the Town Manager's office. It is expected that
this valuable service will be repeated in the
summer of '82.
A new program, Kids to Kids, has been initiated.
It pairs high school students as friends with ele-
mentary school youngsters for after school and
weekend "special" times.
The Youth Commission will sponsor a drug education
evening in February. A drug display case will be
on view and kids and parents will be able to speak
with experts and convicted offenders.

NOTE: The total assessment is only $119,448 more than that for the previous school year even though the
operating and capital budget total rose 5.56% from $7,105,033 in 1980 -81 to $7,500,537 in 1981 -82.
This rise was offset by increased aid, tuition and other revenue, some of which was a one -time event.

disease is its rapid identification followed by
prompt notification of the Local Health Authority

porting of these diseases is required by law and
essential in order that appropriate control meas-
ures may be implemented should the situation war -

Fiscal 1982 Due to the re- evaluation of property the 1982
tax rate has not been set (as of October 23, 1981).
Letters to the larger businesses were mailed asking
that they pay before November 1, 1981 the amount
they paid a year ago and there has been an excep-
tionally good response. Because of their con-
sideration for the town it is doubtful the town
will have to borrow to meet their expenses.

Board of Retirement
At the 1981 Annual Town Meeting, $925,463 was appropriated to the contributory retirement pension fund
as the town's share of retirement allowances for the 1982 fiscal year and $5,600 was appropriated for the
board's operating expenses. To fund the pension payments of the non - contributory members or their bene-
ficiaries, $190,000 was appropriated. In a move to meet its future increasing retirement unfunded lia-
bility, the town appropriated $200,000.
As of November 30, 1981 there were 261 contributory and 20 non - contributory retirees.
The income from investments amounting to over $500,000 enabled us to credit interest to members'
accounts at the rate of 7.2 percent.
Town employees, through payroll deductions, contributed over $390,000 to the fund.
During the twelve month period ending November 30, 1981, the assets of the retirement system had only
increased $390,000. The board of retirement has not actually received its semi - annual payment ($462,731.50)
of the retirement appropriation made at the last Town Meeting. This is due to the lateness of tax bills
going out.
A comparative balance sheet of the financial condition is submitted herewith.
