Respectfully submitted, The Town Dump on Lincoln Street was closed and the Sanitary Land Fill LINCOLN P COLE, JR. Chairman operation put into full operation on Hartwell Avenue. New regulations for the LEVI G. BURNELL Sanitary Land Fill were adopted by the Board of Selectmen. OTIS S. BROWN, JR. ROBERT CATALDO The Board of Selectmen, early in January appointed the members of the GEORGE C. SHELDON newly created Conservation Commission. The Board appointed during the year a 'Human Relations Study Commit- tee. This committee was to report back to the Board of Selectmen on the need, if any of establishing a permanent 'Human Relations Commission. The Board is deeply concerned over the finances of the town and the im- pact of proposed projects over the next five years. A Financial Study Commit- tee was appointed to study the impact of proposed capital projects for the next five years as well as the possible increase in operating cost over the same pe riod. The Financial Study Committee was to report back to the Board of Select men early in 1965, the report to be available before the Annual Town Meeting. The long-range planning of the town has had as an integral part, the widen- ing of Massachusetts Avenue through the Center This was evident in 1930 when a building line was established through what was then the O'Connell prop- erty. This is further supported by a report made to the Town Meeting when the old fire station was taken down. It anticipated that this land could be used in an exchange when Massachusetts Avenue was widened. In 1960 the Town Meeting authorized the Board of Selectmen to enter into an agreement with Joseph Trani, Inc. regarding building damages for the line which had been es- tablished through the Trani building. In 1961 an agreement was entered into which actually set a limit on the building damage due when Massachusetts Avenue was widened. In 1964 Town Meeting authorized a land exchange with the Minute Man Realty to accomplish the widening from Depot Square to k 45 46 TOWN CLERK REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK Twelve Town Meeting Members in Precinct Two, the eleven receiving the high- est number of votes to serve for the term of three years, and the one re- 1 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING ceiving the next highest number of votes to fill an unexpired term ending March, 1966; Thirteen Town Meeting Members in Precinct Three, the eleven receiving the Town Warrant highest number of votes to serve for the term of three years, and the two Town of Lexington receiving the next highest number of votes to fill unexpired terms ending March, 1965; Commonwealth of Massachusetts Middlesex, ss.

Supt. of Parks & Shade Tree Division Our dormant and summer spraying was done with our own crew Our hy- draulic sprayer was used in hard to reach places. The mist blower was used where range and height was the most important consideration, such as parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and swamp areas. In addition to tree spraying, we also sprayed the dump by hand at regular intervals, to prevent the breeding of cock roaches, flies, etc. We answered many requests to spray poison ivy on public and private property during the summer We have been doing herbicide spray- ing for the control of weeds growing up through sidewalks. Removing and Pruning Trees: During the year we pruned approximately 117 trees of different varieties excluding elms Street construction was respon- sible for the removal of about 45 trees. Most of these were removed by private contractors. We cut approximately 22 stumps below the grade with our stump cutter This machine has proved to be an invaluable tool in the removal of these unsightly objects. Dutch Elm Disease: A great deal of time was spent trying to control the Dutch Elm Disease which is showing improvement on public trees. This is a fungus disease that spread to the United States from Europe, between 1920 and 1930. Since that time it has spread and destroyed many valuable trees on pub- lic and private property This year we have pruned 123 trees. This is one of the best ways of controlling the disease because the Dutch Elm Disease Bark Beetle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Division also removed 75 dead elm trees on private property because they were a source of spreading the disease. These were trees that could not be tested because live wood has to be present in order to get a positive test.

'Recreation Committee) PUBLIC SERVICES 253 In 1964, major federal and state legislative actions occurred which can have a marked effect on Lexington s open space program The federal land and water conservation act, and the State act removing the ceiling on State aid, were passed and signed. It appeared that increasing effectiveness was being achieved in the attempts, through legislative action at all levels of government, to preserve and conserve natural re.,ources including open space. Such action has resulted from rising pressure brought upon legislators by people with an awakened sensitivity to the ugliness which often masquerades as progress, and to the necessity for conservation action. The Commission has noted that extensive caverna was given by the mass news media to conservation problems similar to those of Lexington. Radio, television, big city newspapers, and national magazines, in addition to local news media, participated. The mail included such clippings from newspapers, sent by observant and interested citizens; the Commission is grateful for such help. Several articles in the real estate sections of the Boston and New York newspapers emphasized the enlightened developer s recognition that per- manently preserved open space within or next to a development increases the demand for units within that development. The Commission welcomes all citizens at its meetings, and invites sug- gestions from landowners, neighborhood groups, and all others interested.

It is important that we begin now to acquire enough sites for the school buildings which will be needed at land saturation. Superintendents have an obligation to help the public understand how these precious years are being used. The adoption of a formal school information program with a full-time director will result in an increase in the flow of school information to the public. The following statements from the credo of this program describe our com- mitment to this important activity- WE BELIEVE THAT I One of the major purposes of the school information program is to raise the level of public understanding about the schools Public education is a creature of the public and requires public support to improve its educational offerings. 2. Laymen have the capacity to understand educational problems and have the good judgment, when fully informed, to come to conclu- sions which will be in the best interests of the children. 3 Information about the schools should help the public to identify and understand efforts to solve these problems. 4. The welfare of children should be the focus of the program. A good program is concerned with the optimum development of all children in all schools.

This provision for flexibility is indeed important in the upper grades, because students diverge more and more in stage of achievement and in interests as they progress through the school. During the last hundred and fifty years linguists, the scientists of language, have determined facts about the structure and operation of the English language that students will find useful as they develop the ability to listen, speak, read and write effectively. In the Lexington Language Arts program teachers use the knowledge of the facts determined by the linguists to plan lessons that will help the students discover the principles upon which the set of approved conventions are developed for the standard use of their language. One sees first or second grade children carrying things to school to show and 'tell' others. Standards for courteous listening are developed by the group and children gain confidence in speaking. Another activity carried on by these younger children is the development of a 'News of the Day, chart. The teacher writes the sentences given on either a chalkboard or large chart paper Children copy the 'news. Here children begin to discover the relationship between oral and written forms. They discover that sentences begin with capital letters and end with periods. Later, after much practice, charts with rules for capitalization and punctuation are begun. These charts are expanded throughout the years to be used by the children to proof-read their own written work.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 337 IN APPRECIATION It is obvious from the preceding discussion that a great portion of this year was spent in curriculum development. None of these activities and programs could have been conducted without the efforts of our professional staff. They have spent many hours in committee meetings and individual study to improve educational opportunities for Lexington children. Their efforts are sincerely appreciated. During this year Manfred Warren and Miss Margaret Leake, who have given thirty-six and thirty-one years, respectively, to the youth of Lexington, retired from teaching. Miss Regina McKenna, Mrs. Mary Neville and James Boisseau died after serving a total of forty-two years in Lexington. This service and dedication to education are an example for those of us who are privileged to work with children. In closing, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the cooperation, understanding and support given me by the school committee, all of the school personnel, town officials, parents and citizens in carrying out my responsibilities as superintendent of your public schools.
