REPORT ON CIVILIAN DEFENSE
REPORT OF BOARD OF SELECTMEN ON CIVILIAN DEFENSE
.
To the Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford:
Because of the present world situation, and in conformity with Section 14 of Chapter 639 of the Acts of 1950, Massachusetts General Laws pertaining to Civil Defense, the Selectmen were confronted with the duty of appointing a Director of Civil Defense.
Captain Elmer R. Hill, U. S. Naval Reserve, Retired, was orig- inally appointed Director, but he later resigned because he found it impossible to devote the necessary time to properly perform the varied duties of the office.
