For several years the Civil Defense work in this town has been operated on a minimum cost basis, with a view to providing equip- ment for the police and fire departments which is of use at all times and would be vital in the case of an emergency such as an enemy attack.
We are carrying out this program again in 1954, provided the town will agree to this plan. In all emergencies, the first responsibility rests with your police and fire departments. Both are organized to meet emergencies, are trained in the work which must be done and are used to working as a unit. In a war emergency, they would become the nucleus of a much larger defense unit.
In order to carry out this work in 1954, we are asking for an ap- propriation of $1425 which would provide for the continued mainte- nance of a state police teletype set-up, over which comes all informa- tion concerning air raid alerts etc., and for the purchase of a mobile

radio for the police, to replace one now 10 years old, and for the pur- chase of another portable light plant which would come under the jurisdiction of the fire department.
We hope that a war emergency never will arise, but by maintain- ing the teletype service, improving our radio communications hook- up and providing another self-powered lighting plant we will be im- proving the equipment of both departments and at the same time will be becoming better equipped if an emergency does arise.
In 1953 we received from the State five large boxes of Medical Supplies, and fifty-four Litters which are stored at the Fire House for any emergency.
Respectfully submitted,
RALPH J. HULSLANDER,
Acting Civilian Defense Director

REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
REPORT OF THE FOREST WARDEN
January 15, 1954
Board of Selectmen
Chelmsford, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
More calls were answered the past year than in any one year for the past three. The records for the Year 1953 show 174 calls answered. In some cases, these calls were responded to by companies of the Fire Department. The policy of the Forest Warden being; that under certain circumstances governed by weather conditions, the amount of property exposed in the fire area and distance traveled; it is in the best interest of good fire protection to have the nearest apparatus available respond on the initial call. Followed by the Forest Department's truck which has equipment most adapted for grass and brush fires.
Requests for permits for fires in the out-of-doors, (which are necessary under State regulation) have increased this past year.
More people have become familiar with the so-called "burning index", as used by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation in its effort to reduce forest fires. As a result fewer requests for permits have been received when the index reading is thirty-five or higher.
In closing, I wish to thank all, who in any way have assisted the Forest Warden in carrying out his duties.
Respectfully submitted.
