We have been fortunate that employment has been steady, and there have been few calls for aid due to lack of work. We have, however, a constant drain on our budget from our permanent cases, which tend to increase yearly. These include, for the most part, widows and dependent parents.


In December of 1961, the Veteran Administration Contact Office in our area was closed. The closing of this office will increase our workload, as we will be called upon to process many more claims for compensation, pension, hospitalization, educational benefits, burial allowance and various VA Forms for the veterans of our town and their dependents.


104


We wish to thank all local veteran organizations, the American Red Cross, all church and Charitable organizations, the Board of Selectmen and the Town Manager for their cooperation and assist- ance to our office.


Respectfully submitted, Francis P. Markey, Agent Veterans' Service Office

Report Of Recreation Committee


Five playgrounds operated this year with a marked increase in registration and daily attendance. The play areas were Central, Ballardvale, Indian Ridge, West Center and Shawsheen. The pro- gram consisted of the usual activities, handi-craft work, inter- playgrounds tournaments and sports, Annual Field Day at Central and the Annual Picnic at Canobie Lake, New Hampshire.


Little League baseball enjoyed another most successful season, with nearly 500 boys, under the age of 13 participating. The officers and managers and coaches of this group deserve a fine vote of ap- preciation for the way in which they have operated this league for the past ten years. Last year a group of interested parents sought the Committee's help in providing a "junior league" for the Little League Alumni, and, although our help was almost entirely financial, we are proud to have had a hand in its organization. More than 100 boys, 13 to 15, played in this league. The Senior, or Twilight league, maintained and supervised entirely by our department continues to provide the same high grade competition which has been evident since its inception in 1946.


The Pony Football, for boys 10 to 13 and under 120 pounds, completed its second excellent season. Here again the Recreation Department provided the financing for the additional protective equip- ment but our thanks goes to the dedicated men who volunteered so many hours, daily, toward the coaching of these youngsters. Over 100 boys were engaged in this activity.


Perhaps the real heroes of the town were the men who left their warm beds before six o'clock on these frosty Saturday mornings to drive to the hockey rink at Phillips Academy to coach the junior hockey teams. This project, in its second year, is really catching the fancy of the young folks, and we are indeed indebted to the Trustee and Administration of Phillips Academy for their generosity in pro- viding us with the use of their excellent facilities. Over the years the help and cooperation of our friends "On the Hill" have been most heart warming.


A year ago we had a request for financial assistance for a girls softball team. The response this season was terrific, and it must truly be said that the girls most certainly did not suffer by comparison with the boys in the matter of ability and desire. We expect this phase of our program to develop extensively in the next two years.

Requests for funds for many varied types of recreational pro- grams have been coming before the Committee for the past three years or more and the volume and pressures are increasing. It has been the considered judgment of the members of our committee that the program should not be expanded and the budget substantially in- creased until such time as a full time director could be employed. Accordingly, such action was recommended last year and the Town Manager, Selectmen and Finance Committee, and ultimately the Town Meeting showed their confidence in us by approving the appro- priation of money for the position.


Since last Spring, we have been assisting the Manager in the screening and interviewing of candidates. As this report is filed, we find that due to circumstances beyond our control, no director has been appointed. However, we feel confident that an appoint- ment will be made soon, and he will be able to take over the full time program which the Town deserves.


Pomps Pond


The hot dry weather of the past summer caused another record breaking attendance and registration at the municipal bathing beach at Pomps Pond. Swim classes for children over five years of age and for adults were conducted, and several life-saving courses were given during the season. The largest number of Red Cross Certificates in the history of the beach were given out for both activities.


The picnic site was further extended as an additional area was clearedof brush. The practice of family picnics started several years ago has expanded tremendously in recent seasons. It is hoped that the Department will be able to use the adjoining land this coming season for the extension of the water front facilities, parking and general recreation area. The Land Acquisition Committee has negotiated for nearly 30 acres and the buildings thereon, fronting on the Pond, and it is hoped that the lawyers may be able to complete the transactions in order that the townspeople may be able to enjoy the benefits of the additional area next summer.


The Committee is already planning for the long range develop- ment of this area to relieve the crowded conditions of the present waterfront, to extend the parking area and to extend the general recreation facilities, such as ball-fields and open play areas.


As the program at Pomps Pond continues to grow in popularity the Committee realizes that within a relatively short time the town will be forced to increase the bath houses and other service facilities.


107


The concrete retaining wall project was extended this year and with the replacement of the wooden stairways next spring, the present beach will be secured.


In looking ahead, Pomps Pond and the surrounding land bring us a challenge in developing this beautiful spot into a recreational center second to none. This will mean yearly expenditures over a long range period and a well thought out plan.


The traditional Easter Candy Scramble was held on Holy Satur- day on the Park. In line with population expansion the number of youngsters seems to increase each succeeding year. As stated last year, the interest in Halloween parties had waned to such an extent that no money was provided in our budget this year for the activity. However, interest returned in some areas, and, although we were unable to assist this year, the item will be carried again in 1962. Meantime, we are indebted to the Junior Chamber of Commerce who stepped in and sponsored a parade and celebration at the playstead.


The skating areas in Ballardvale and Central were flooded during the season and we were able to provide about 16 days of skating. In addition the townspeople were welcomed at the facility at the Sacred Heart School field off Balmoral Street.


We welcome the encouraging impetus which has been given to creation by so many groups in the community. Especially do we congratulate the Community Recreation Council for its success in arranging and putting into execution an adult evening recreation program which operates two mights weekly at the high school.


Such enthusiastic and well-directed efforts cannot help but inure to the benefit of a well-rounded program.


Our special thanks go to the Town Manager, the Public Works Dept. the Police and Fire Departments, the Playground and swimming beach supervisors and their staffs and to all the volunteers who gave so generously and unselfishly of their time and talents.


Respectfully submitted,


James D. Doherty, Chairman Francis P. Markey, Secretary

Department Of Public Works


The Public Works Department maintains highways, sidewalks, public dump, street lighting, parks, and trees. The Department also services its own equipment, installs and supervises the construction and maintenance of water and sewer mains, maintains equipment and supplies for the control of snow, ice, dutch elm disease and insect pest control.


The personnel necessary to supervise and maintain these services are classified as follows.


1 Engineer


3 Superintendents


1 Office Manager


2 Clerks (Full Time)


1 Clerk (Part Time)


1 Engineering Aide (Part Time)


3 Foremen


4 Working Foremen


7 Heavy Equipment Operators


4 Tree Climbers


6 Maintenance Men


8 Truck Drivers


11 Laborers


Machine accounting was inaugurated on August 1, 1961 to prepare for future expansion of the water billing system. New printed name plates were inserted to replace some of the old time war plates for more efficient operation of the new addressograph system. These plate changes are now made in the Town Hall daily.


New property maps have been coded to coincide with identical records of all Town Departments and have in addition every water installation plotted.


109


ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT


It is with a great deal of pleasure that I submit the first report of the Engineering Department in five years. Although this department was in operation only three months in 1961, the area in which its potential could be fully realized were clearly defined.


The excellent spirit of cooperation shown to this department by the other municipal agencies was most gratifying. The Public Works Office Manager, the Superintendents, the Planning Board, and all the other departments never failed to devote considerable amounts of time to acquainting me with Town procedures. I feel that this department is in a position to be of very valuable assistance to the other departments in matters relating to engineering practice.


Most of the surveying and drafting equipment needed were pur- chased and only a few items remain to be obtained. The addition of these items and the expansion of the staff to include an engineering aide will permit the department to operate most effectively.


I worked very closely with the Planning Board, learning its procedures and Rules and Regulations and the Zoning By-Laws. Plans for two proposed subdivisions were reviewed to determine the adequacy of utilities, and recommendations for acceptance or redesign of these utilities were made to the Board. These studies were made in close coordination with the Public Works Superintendents. Also, a number of new subdivisions were inspected to determine the amount of per- formance bond required for the satisfactory construction and install- ation of utilities.


Plans were drawn of the easterly Interstate Route 93 - Lowell Street intersection and the area immediately adjacent thereto. A portion of the land of the intersection had recently been re-zoned by the Town for commercial use, but access to the land from the ad- jacent State-owned land was restricted to residential use. The plans were used by the Town officials in their request to the State for commercial access.


Assistance was given to the Tree Superintendent by locating street lines to assign responsibility for hazardous or diseased trees; and a topographic survey was made of the Town dump for the Committee to Study the Cost of Municipal Collection of Garbage and Refuse to determine the volume of material that could be placed on the dump site.

Summer Street and High Street to Harding Street were resur- faced with one course type I Bituminous concrete. All catch basins and grates were raised to the proper heights. This project was done by the Highway Department.


Dascomb Road, a distance of 4,500 feet, was resurfaced with two course type I Bituminous concrete under Chapter 90 construction. All catch basins and drain pipe were new and added to the drainage system. 1,200 feet of this project was done by the Highway Depart- ment at a total cost of $54,000.


Sidewalks were constructed of type D-13 Bituminous material on the following streets: Beacon Street, west side from West Elementary School to Chandler Road, a distance of 1,150 feet, Park Street, north side of Phinney's, a distance of 120 feet. Many of the cement sidewalks were repaired in Shawsheen Village, Main Street, Wolcott Avenue and Lowell Street.


One catch basin was constructed on Clark Road and 200' of 12" pipe laid. One catch basin was constructed on Bannister Road, and 40' of 12" pipe laid. One catch basin was constructed on Sunset Rock Road and 30' of 8" pipe laid. One catch basin and one manhole was constructed on Linda Road and 120' of 12" pipe laid.


One catch basin and manhole was constructed on Beacon Street, a distance of 400' of 12" pipe laid, to eliminate a drainage condi- tion from the West Elementary School.


--


Sufficient cable and concrete post were purchased to erect 720' of guard rail fencing on Dascomb Road. Replaced 31 cement posts on River Road, 20 posts on Lowell Street, 8 posts on High Street, 5 posts on Jenkins Road and 16 posts on Andover Street.


Bridges


The bridges under control of the Department of Public Works were inspected many times during the year, one on Stevens Street and one on Central Street.


112


Parks


There are two regular size diamonds at the Central Playstead, one regular size diamond at Woburn Street Playground, six Little League Fields, two at Central, two at Woburn Street Playground, and two in the rear of the West Center School.


Portable bleachers are erected at the Little League Field on the Woburn Street Playground and at the Central Little League Field, also portable bleachers are erected at the Central area for the football field.


Fertilizer was applied in the Spring on both the Park and Playstead areas. These two areas were rolled by the Park Department.


Report Of Tree, Moth And Dutch Elm Depts.


The Tree Department planted 110 shade trees along public streets during 1961. A total of 45 flowering and evergreen trees and shrubs purchased by the School Department were set out on High School grounds. A diversified planting program was continued with several varieties being used, including Sugar and Norway Maples, Little Leaf Lindens, Thornless Locusts, Sweet Gums, Katsuras and Weeping Willows.


Dutch Elm disease was diagnosed in 101 of the 115 public elms sampled in 1961. Of these 82 have been cut down and burned at the Town Dump. The remaining diseased trees will be removed before March prior to the emergence of elm bark beetles which are known carriers of this wide spread disease. A 100 foot telescopic crane was utilized in topping 20 dead and dangerous elms. A stump chipper was used to remove 6 large elm stumps.


The Town received Dutch Elm assistance from the Mass. Dept. of Natural Resources in the removal and disposal of 50 dead elms. State and Town tree crews worked together to complete this project. Over 150 dead and diseased elms were removed in 1961.


A shade tree spray program was continued using approved in- secticides and application methods to control destructive insects and diseases. Foliar feeding was incorporated with the regular spraying.


113


Roadside mowing, brush cutting and chemical brush control was performed along rural roads, at intersections and dangerous corners. Chemical eradication of poison ivy was done along road- sides, at playgrounds and school areas.


Regular department work of pruning, low limb removal, dead and dangerous tree removal, cavity work, bark tracing, utility wire and pole clearance supervision, and inspection were continued.
