ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
BOARD OF SELECTMEN Raymond J. Greenwood, Chairman
Edgar P. George Robert F. McAndrew
Upon completion of the 305th year as an incorporated town, Chelms- ford has experienced its greatest growth. The continued increase in residential building has resulted in an increase of 125 building permits over a year ago, with a total of 607 new dwellings in 1960. This growth is evident by the establishment of complete residential communities lo- cated in areas which a few years ago were farm and wooded tracts. This growth has placed unusually heavy demands for service and regulations on the governmental departments of the town. Under these conditions, the satisfactory way in which the departments have coped with these problems is a tribute to their office.
The Board of Selectmen had several meetings with the Planning Board during the year to develop a system to enforce the requirements of new streets and drainage in subdivisions. This was largely accomplished by the employment of a professional highway engineer on a part-time basis, and the use of the Highway Superintendent for periodic inspec- tions of the construction. It is hoped this system will alleviate many problems previously encountered after acceptance of streets.
The year 1960 has seen the nearing of completion of the two large highway networks which will bisect the town. Route 3 will be completed in Chelmsford by late Spring. Most of the interstate Route 495, the new Route 110, has been completed from the Westford line to East Chelms- ford, including the huge interchange at Route 3 and Riverneck Road. Next year the East Chelmsford segment to the Concord River will be con- structed.
9
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
Already the influence of these highways has been felt by the results of business and industrial growth. The Industrial Development Com- mission has engaged a professional consultant to further the increasing signs of this expansion.
As the population grows the burden of services increases in the de- partments. The growth of the waste collections poses a growing problem for the Highway Department. A few years ago one truck was used for this service. In 1960 two waste trucks were used on a full week basis and a third truck on a half week schedule. Many times stormy weather and holidays required a full week schedule for all three trucks. Also it was necessary, on occasions, to press dump trucks into service to cope with the load. It will be necessary to use all three on a full time basis in the coming year. With the oldest truck being nearly ten years old, it is evident that under continuous use it will have to be replaced in the very near future. Other than replacements of aging trucks chassis on the sanders, the equipment in this department seems in good condition.
The Police Department continues to use three cruisers on a full-time basis. A new man will be asked for this year to allow better coverage of office and communications on the busiest shift. Also a two-phone system to facilitate service in an emergency will be requested.
The Fire Department has requested an increase of manpower in 1961. This would fill a critical shortage in the North station. The in- creased population growth in the South Row area would indicate that future planning should include a third fully manned station for this sec- tion of town.
All available space is being utilized to house the growing need for office space in the town hall. The Assessors Office has been enlarged by the use of the rear hall and relocation of the rear entrance. If funds are made available, it is planned to construct two offices in the upper hall where the stage is now located. This will exhaust all possibilities of fur- ther expansion, but should be adequate for some time.
In this report we have tried to outline some of the problems of our growing town and the action taken to date to cope with them. We wish to thank the town officials and departments for their cooperation and assistance in the past year. We, also, hope we have merited the trust and confidence placed in us by the townspeople.
