BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS REPORT
The Board of Selectmen,
Chelmsford, Mass.
We have the honor to submit the following report of the Board of Fire Engineers for the year ending December 31st 1939.
After being organized the Board reappointed the District Chiefs who have so faithfully served in that capacity for some time past, namely;
District No. 1 W. T. Johnson 2 Joseph D. Ryan 3 Walter Edwards 4 Henry G. Quinn 5 Charles House
These men have given their time and devotion to the problems of this de- partment and have served the citizens of this Town well.
The quarters and equipment have been kept in first class condition. The morale of the men has been excellent and frequent drills have them well fitted to discharge their duties.
59
We have purchased gas masks of the best grade obtainable as a needed mea- sure of safety and protection to the men.
Thirty-three firemen from various sections of the Town have taken the course in first aid sponsored by the Lowell Chapter of the American Red Cross. They are now trained to render valuable assistance in an emergency.
New Tires have been placed on all the apparatus where needed and as far as possible. The fire alarm system has been inspected and kept in good working order, while four new boxes have been added in needed locations. Fire cards have been printed and distributed throughout the Town.
We would be remiss in our duty if we did not at this time express our appreciation of the hearty cooperation of our Police Department, the Lowell Police, and State Troopers who have always responded to our needs.
The Department has answered 76 alarms and rendered assistance to surround- ing towns and Lowell and also the Forest Warden.

You will note that the expenditure for welfare in 1939 dropped more than $10,000.00 over the preceding year and the expenditure of Old Age Assistance increased over $6,000.00 and in Aid to Dependent Children it increased $1, 600. The decrease in welfare costs is explained by the fact that conditions in pri- vate employment are definitely better and unemployment compensation payments were paid to unemployed workers during 1939 and as a result they were kept off relief rolls. The increase of 13 cases on Old Age Assistance and 4 cases on Aid to Dependent Children during the past year is the reason for the greater cost in these two categories of relief as mentioned.
The reorganization of the State Department of Public Welfare which has been in progress during the past year becomes effective January 1, 1940. As a result of this new system the State intends to cut their administrative cost of welfare tremendously by doing away with all visits by State officers and their respective transportation costs. New forms, applications and detailed records and reports must be kept and sent in monthly by the local agency. This saving of administrative cost by the State Department is realized at the expense of the local Welfare Department because all the duties which were performed by the State Visitors have been passed on to the local Department along with additional new duties brought about by the reorganization. Inasmuch as State reimbursement is dependent on these policies and regulations being carried out, it is very important and essential that hospitals, doctors and merchants who are doing business with this Department of Public Welfare coop- erate and do their part by rendering their accounts every month at the proper time. A letter has been sent to this effect to all concerned.
As in the past I have received splendid cooperation from the Board of Public Welfare, the members of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance, other Town officials, and many private citizens, and I wish to take this opportunity of thanking them.
Respectfully submitted,
Leonard S. MacElroy Agent
