Town of Chelmsford Veterans' Emergency Fund By PERRY T. SNOW, Treasurer


123


VETERANS' EMERGENCY FUND


VETERANS' EMERGENCY FUND


REPORT OF THE SECRETARY


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford:


The Veterans' Emergency Fund Committee has had a most quiet year during 1949 as far as meetings and payments from the funds on hand are concerned.


There have been no cases, called to our attention, which needed financial assistance during the past year. This has been due, undoubt- edly, to the comparative stability of economic conditions affecting vet- erans of the Town of Chelmsford.


Instead of material help to Veterans, which is our immediate objective, the year 1949 has been one of "Building." By the word "Building" we mean the increase in funds by dividends and interest from funds on deposit at the Central Savings Bank and Middlesex Cooperative Bank in Lowell. This type of transaction during a given period is perhaps more desirable as it assures greater aid and assist- ance to worthy veterans in the future-if the economic conditions should happen to change-as the funds on hand would be greater due to additions through the years from interest on funds.


Your committee is proud to report that the total interest and dividends received during 1949 amounted to $71.12 and now the fund is larger than when the committee was first appointed by the Board of Selectmen during 1947. This fact is most gratifying due to the fact that the Committee has aided one veteran and his family sub- stantially and also has made an annual payment for the Bonding of the Treasurer of these funds. Even with these payments, our total funds now on hand are greater than when the money was turned over to the Town of Chelmsford by the War Salvage Committee.


Mr. Gordon P. DeWolf, Veterans' Agent of the Town of Chelms- ford assists and advises the committee in calling attention to worthy cases, which because of certain conditions, can be assisted only partially by the Veterans' Benefits program. In the event of such cases, the Veterans' Emergency Fund is able to offer further assist- ance to these worthy cases.


Th committee is now composed of the following representatives from each precinct of the Town.


Mr. George Archer Precinct 1, Center


Mr. Joseph Sadowski Precinct 2, North


Mr. Perry T. Snow Precinct 3, West


Mr. Edward G. Krasnecki Precinct 4, East


Mr. George F. Waite Precinct 5, South


Mr. Alfred H. Coburn Precinct 6, Westlands


124


REPORT OF TREASURER OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES


Townspeople are requested to contact the representative from their section of Chelmsford if they desire to place the name of a worthy veteran who needs assistance before the committee.


The committee wishes to acknowledge the confidence placed in each member by the Board of Selectmen in the administering of these trust funds.


Respectfully submitted,


ALFRED H. COBURN


Secretary of the Veterans' Emergency Fund Committee
