Street and Maple Street area Town Meeting action in 1960 authorized acquisition of parcels of land for the crossing at East Street and Massachusetts Avenue These two roads are being December 31, 1960 completed by a combination of Town construction and developer's construction To the Citizens of Lexington under a coordinated plan It is anticipated that this method will result in a sub- stantial saving in cost to the Town The Federal Census of 1960 having been completed the following table of population change covering the period 1930 to 1960 indicates that Lexington has had an increasing rate of growth DRAINS Year Population Installation of street drains continued in various sections of the Town under 1930 9,467 direction of the Town Engineer A major drainage project was the installation of 1935 10,813 pipes to carry the brook which runs along the easterly side of the Town dump 1940 13,187 This permits the extension of the filling of this area so that it may in the future 1945 14,452 be added to the recreational or park area of the Town 1950 17,335 1955 22,276 TOWN DUMP 1960 27,920 Not a very glamorous subject but one that has become more difficult in recent Planning Board estimates anticipate that the Town's population will reach months is the problem of refuse disposal The rapid filling of the current dump area 50,000 within the next twenty years This growth creates problems which chat- this year prompted the Selectmen to institute a system of dump permits for corn- lenge our Town government to act wisely now and to plan ahead with courage and mercial vehicles to correct abuse of the dumping privilege In addition having re- vision It is thus that your Board of Selectmen has sought to make its decisions and ceived Town Meeting authorization, the Selectmen employed the engineering firm direct its planning Some of the principal areas in which the Board has acted in of Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike to prepare a comprehensive survey of the disposal 1960 are set forth here as being of special interest to our citizens problem The report from this survey should be ready in early 1961 HIGHWAYS WATER The Selectmen's report of 1948 contained the following statement "With the The Town for the last few years has suffered from a summer water shortage exception of our main highways our general street layout is inadequate to cope Major projects have been undertaken to correct this shortage by strengthening the with the problem of mass transportation and so therefore we will have to make system takings and widenings to improve our highway system" Arling- One of our major traffic a The Metropolitan District Commission is extending its main from j problems was alleviated to some extent with the corn- ' ton along Route 2 to the vicinity of Waltham Street with an elevated tank in that pletion of the present Route 128 which removed much heavy traffic from Waltham area Street, Massachusetts Avenue, and Woburn Street However, the increased indus- trial development along the new highway has burdened the Town streets with com- b The Town of Lexington is constructing a main from this tank to its own muters traveling to these new industries Continued expansion of Hanscom Field, tanks Lincoln Laboratories, and Cambridge Research Center has added to this traffic load It is expected that the U S Air Force will share in the cost of the construction of the main to be built by the Town as the water supply to Hanscom Field will After several years of negotiations, the Federal Government advanced the necessary funds for the completion of Hartwell Avenue in 1960 This road gave directly benefit by this new construction access to the air base complex from Bedford Street and gave traffic relief to the It is hoped that 1962 will see an end of the water shortage access roads to the air base, namely Wood Street and Marrett Road Two other roads currently under construction will provide relief of traffic SEWERS congestion and serve as additional collector roads These are Worthen Road and Emerson Road sections of which have been completed, while other sections are in A trunk line sewer is under construction from Watertown Street to Route 2 in advance planning stage or under construction Worthen Road to extend from the vicinity of Pleasant Street This will provide service for the Minute Man High- Bedford Street, Massachusetts Avenue, Lincoln, Waltham, Marrett Road to Route 2 land area and provides another link in a comprehensive plan to provide sewer serv- es now complete from Bedford Street to Massachusetts Avenue and small sections ice to all of the Town Another link in this system will be the 1961 request for in the area of Waltham Street and Kendall Road Town Meeting action in 1960 construction of the sewer trunk from Justin Street under Route 128 to the Burling- authorized the layout of that section to cross the center playground from Massa- ton Street, Hawthorne Road area chusetts Avenue to Waltham Street Emerson Road to extend from Bedford Street, BOARD OF SELECTMEN 41 'STATE HIGHWAYS 1960 saw the start of the widening of Route 128 in Lexington, Waltham, Burlington area The Lexington plans involve the taking by the State of large areas of land and about fifteen homes The Board registered certain protests but State plans prevailed Alternate plans for the route of Route 3 from 128 to the inner belt were shown by the State to Town officials It is not known as yet what action, if any, has been taken to reach a final plan The long anticipated widening of Route 2 and its designation as a limited access highway remains an unexecuted plan without a date for construction MINUTE MAN NATIONAL PARK Initial plans and some funds became available in 1960 to provide for the es- tablishment of Minute Man National Park Within ten years the Commission hopes to restore much of the area between Route 128 and Concord along Massachusetts Avenue to its 1775 appearance With the historic areas of Lexington the logical starting place for tourists visiting the National Park the Town should see a marked increase in tourist business OFF-STREET PARKING A tract of land bounded by Meriam Street, Boston and Maine Railroad and Grant Street was purchased for additional off-street parking Access is to be es- tablished to this area from Depot Square and from Meriam Street An eventual capacity of about 300 cars is expected when the area is fully ready for use It is not expected that parking meters will be installed in this area at this time How- ever, parking meters already authorized will be installed in certain of the other parking lots INDUSTRY Of interest to the taxpayers is the construction of the Raytheon Building on Spring Street at Route 2, and Itek Buildings on Maguire Road and the rezoning for industrial purposes of a small tract of land on Wood Street now owned by Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology Completion of construction at these sites will be reflected in future tax rates Much of the above reflect the growth of the Town There are many contin- uing projects that should be mentioned,—Civil Defense, which is developing a strong trained organization, the acquisition of Town park, recreation and school areas, zoning enforcement to maintain the character of the Town, and protection of persons and property The Board is currently considering the need for an Executive Secretary to assist and report to the Selectmen No decision has been made as yet in this matter but will be reported prior to the 1961 Town Meeting The Board is proud of the accomplishments of the Town in 1960 and extends to those officials and employees of the Town, whose co-operation and services have made these accomplishments possible, its sincere thanks To the citizens of the Town, we express our confidence in the future of Lexington as a better place to live and work RUTH 1MOREY,Chairman LINCOLN P COLE, JR ALAN G ADAMS GARDNER C FERGUSON NORMAN J

Glazing —The committee recommends that the School Department investigate advantages and conditions of an annual contract for glazing (repair), as is done by insurance companies that write glass breakage policies Heating — It was recommended that an investigation of the possibility that routine maintenance items could be included in the invitation for bid for the fuel oil, either as a part of the basic contract, or as an optional bid item Painting—The committee recommends that painting which is of such mag- nitude that it cannot be handled by the maintenance staff continue to be contracted for by the job Roofing and Carpentry Placing of individual contracts of these trades, as presently done, is recommended for continuation Refrigeration—Those items of repair which are determined not to be elec- trical in nature should be let as individual orders, as currently done Paving—The committee recommends that as much as possible of the spot paving and repair which is not included in new construction be contracted to the Town of Lexington and other new paving be contracted for by the job Lamps—The possible advantages of the "group relamping" technique were considered, but the benefits were felt to be dubious with full time custodial em- ployees Custodial Services In addition to its review of the various building trades, the committee also in- vestigated the possibility of contract cleaning As there appeared to be no partic- ular cost advantage in addition to many obvious disadvantages, the committee did not recommend a trial contract for this type of service SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

been able to make some transfers, but the SPECIAL LANGUAGE PROGRAM problem will be more difficult A year of teaching the "graduates" of our elementary school French program, This situation has several implications for our planning One, it is an indication at seventh grade level (1959-60), has shown us that the early contact with a that Lexington's Advanced Program is not merely administrative — that is, a foreign language starting in grade three does pay dividends' These pupils have, grouping of pupils without significant change in the methods and curriculum of for the most part, attained a facility of comprehension, an accuracy of pronunciation the class This would make the special groups meaningless Second, it means and an ability to express themselves within the limits of their classroom vocabulary that we must exert every effort to make wise placements in the Program and to which puts them at ease in the foreign language, and gives them a definite ad- evaluate such decisions throughout the year following the selection Third, it vantage as they start the formal study of the structure of the language at secondary means that the groups must be kept together with a minimum of additions at school level In addition, they have already attained some proficiency in reading upper levels if the advantages of the Program for those in it are to be maintained the foreign language and an introduction to a culture other than their own through Certainly it could defeat the work of special planning by teachers and adminis- the medium of language itself as a cultural pattern In terms of time, this means trators, if the group was not required to work at steadily increasing maturity and that the pupils of the Special Language Program complete approximately two years with highly developed skills This means careful and creative scheduling by prin- of high school French by the time they reach tenth g-ace For the Advanced Pro- opals at the secondary levels gram classes the rate of progress and language proficiency will probably be even Soon we will be asked for specific evidence of the value of the special classes greater — and rightly so We have collected

The real test will come from graduates who go on to success examination and clarification of our teaching philosophy in foreign languages from in their chosen fields and who testify that the work

have been staff changes and shortages The basic reasons seem to be a shortage of trained librarians, due These interments have been recorded and are on file in this office Flags and primarily to low salaries, especially in the New England area, the lack of both wreaths were placed on all Veterans' graves on Memorial Day and suitable care houses and apartments available for rent in Lexington, and to inconvenient public given these graves during the year In Colonial Cemetery all iron enclosed Icts transportation for those who must live in other communities while working in were scraped and painted and some graves that were sunken were raised Lexington Respectfully submitted, We are grateful to those loyal and cooperative staff members who have willingly shifted schedules and assumed extra duties to keep the library in full operation MAURICE D HEALY, We are fortunate, too, in having a group of capable and dependable part-time Registrar staff members, high school and college
