REPORT OF THE ADAMS LIBRARY LIBRARIAN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The work at the Adams Library has continued as usual during the past year. We were unable to buy quite as many books during 1954 as we did in 1953 because of the rising prices. However, we have been for- tunate to have had many donated. The donors were Mrs. Edward Teabeau, Mr. Eustace B. Fiske, Mr. and Mrs. Martin K. Bovey, Mr. and Mrs. Eliot W. Remick, Jr., Miss Margaret Caddell, Mrs. George A. Parkhurst, Mr. Lewis I. Hilton, Mrs. Warren C. Lahue, Mr. Harold Brown, Mr. Allen Woodhead, Miss Lea Auger and Miss Alice Phillips of Lowell.
Four different groups have visited the Adams Library during the year. One Brownie Troop under the leadership of Mrs. Dana Fitts and Mrs. George H. Linton came in January. From the McFarlin School came the sixth grade under Mr. Foster, the fourth grade under Mrs. Manning, and the second grade under Miss Linda Marinel. Such groups are always welcome.
The Chelmsford Garden Club has continued the project of pro- viding decorations each month during the year.
The exhibits in the Reading Room have been varied and of much interest.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward G. Russell have continued to transport the books to the East Chelmsford School.
The circulation has shown a steady increase. The statistics follow: Circulation for 1954

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Town of Chelmsford
Gentlemen:
The year 1954 has brought about a great transition in the Fire :
Department. At the Annual Town Meeting it was voted to change the form of administration of the Fire Department from a Board of Fire Engineers to that of a full time chief.
On June 1st, I was appointed Temporary Acting Fire Chief and on September 15, 1954 was appointed Fire Chief.
This report will cover the activities of both the Fire Department and the Forest Warden as the two departments are now under one head and operate under a single budget.
Very little progress could be made for the present due to the budget being set up for the old form of organization. Plans have been formulated for the reorganization of the department to bring it up to a modern status.
A survey was requested by the Board of Selectmen of the New England Rating Bureau Association, in regard to our department's rating by their body, who are the ones to set the standard of our de- partment as well as establishing insurance rates from same. Their survey was conducted and the report forwarded to our Board of Selectmen
I feel that this report and recommendations are what was needed by our taxpayers for them to be guided in building and maintaining the type of fire protection the taxpayers expect and demand. With this report in mind, I have evaluated their recommendations and therefore, use the same as a basis of my request of the 1955 budget.
1 personally witnessed the testing of our pumping engines, the results of which are: the Town of Chelmsford have, of five engines tested, only one that could pass the test and meet the requirements which were not twenty years old or older. Three other pieces of ap- paratus owned by the Town were not of the required type so, there- fore, could not meet the requirements likewise.
Progress has been made toward replacing our obsolete outside fire alarm circuits.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford,
At the first meeting of the Park Commissioners in the Spring of 1954 we organized in the following manner. Bradford O. Emerson was elected chairman, A. Louis Bennett, clerk, and Russell Greenwood the third member.
A general program for the care and maintenance of the Parks was set up. In the early part of the spring a great deal of time was spent in building up and improving the lawns. In order to do this we con- tinued our program of spreading loam, fertilizer and seed on all the Parks in order to take care of the many bare spots.
In the Center Common, due to the resurfacing of Westford street we had to remove the hedge. Curbing and a hot top sidewalk was put in along Westford street. This was done with the cooperation of the Board of Selectmen and the Highway Department. In the North Com- mon a considerable amount of work was done on the flagpole, the flagpoles in the other sections were painted. Work on the other Parks was the usual maintenance. Due to plenty of rainfall it was necessary to mow the grass frequently.
With the continued cooperation of the townspeople we will strive to improve and beautify our parks. We wish to thank our employees, Superintendent Morton Pickard and Harold Eriksen for their co- operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
BRADFORD O. EMERSON A. LOUIS BENNETT RUSSELL GREENWOOD

Balance on hand January 1, 1955
The past year has been an eventful one for the entire New Eng- land States. We have experienced two bad hurricanes which gave our town the opportunity to utilize the Civil Defense equipment to good advantage.
Our emergency power plants were put to use by the Fire Depart- ment to save thousands of dollars in foods that would have otherwise spoiled. The portable light plants were used in the flooded area of Central Square and elsewhere. The teletype service gave the police and fire departments constant information regarding the progress of the storm. Radio communications were maintained throughout the emergency.
Your committee did not take office until the middle of the year. It became necessary to spend a great deal of time with State officials at meetings in Lowell, Boston, Natick and Newton. We have set up a constructive program for 1955 that should give our town the effective Civil Defense organization that is now in progress all over the state.
164
REPORT OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE
We have asked for a somewhat larger budget this year than last. We feel that this is necessary to complete an effective program. The budget calls for $5300.00 but $2105.00 will be returned to E and D Fund from the Federal and State Matching Fund. The largest item is for $2160.00 for four mobile radios for the Fire Department. This will complete communication to all sections of the town in an emergency. We understand, this may be the last year to receive matching funds from the State. on communication equipment.
We sincerely hope that we will receive co-operation from the people of the Town during the year to come. We feel that Civil Defense has again become an important part of every community, and it is the civic duty of eachi one of us to do our part, for our own protection.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Town of Chelmsford
Gentlemen:
The Planning Board was organized for the year 1954 with John L. Dusseault as Chairman, and Carl A. E. Peterson as Secretary-Clerk, and with William H. Burns, Harold E. Clayton, Jr., George S. Archer, Harold J. Pearson, and George R. Dupee as members. William H. Burns resigned from the board in July, and at a joint meeting held with the Board of Selectmen, Arnold C. Perham was elected to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Burns.
The Board held seventeen meetings during the year during which there were two hearings on rezoning and six hearings on applications for subdivisions. There were also numerous approvals of subdivision extensions on which previous hearings had been held.
Because of legislation passed in 1953 the work of the board has increased greatly, particularly because of the requirement of an endor- sement of all plans whether subdivision or otherwise, before such plans can be recorded in the Registries of Deeds.
The vote of the Town at the Annual Town Meeting increasing lot sizes to 15000 square feet and frontages to 100 feet in single resi- dence areas was a step in the right direction in relation to subdivision control, but we believe that further control is necessary if the com- munity is to grow in a healthful manner.
We have conferred with Land Planning Consultants during the year and believe that it is in the interest of the General Welfare of the Community to authorize the Planning Board to expend funds for long range Planning.
For the cooperation we have received from various Town Officials and citizens of the community we are very grateful.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
This report covers the period between April 18 and December 31, 1954.
There were fifteen cases on the payroll when I assumed the duties of Agent. Since that time, and through the end of the year, nine new applications for benefits had been received and investigated. Of these nine cases seven were of a temporary status, receiving benefits of some nature from one to three months.
Excessive hospital and medical bills as well as aiding the tempor- ary cases required transfers of money from the Finance Commitee and at a special town meeting.
The case load of this department is steadily growing due in a large measure to our local employment conditions and an increase in the budget is requested for the year 1955.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONER
REPORT OF THE CEMETERY DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Town of Chelmsford
Gentlemen:
Considerable progress is being made in the layout and development of the cemeteries in Chelmsford, during the past several years, and the past year has also been one of improvement.
The Hearse House has been restored to an attractive building, also being newly painted, it appears very presentable for the Tercen- tenary Weeks celebration as a registry or information center. Much favorable comment is made about its new look. Work has been done by repairing and repainting the fence and summer house in West Chelmsford Cemetery. The roadway in Forefathers Cemetery was hot- topped which is helping to stop the washouts which occurred in the past after heavy rains. The roads were oiled in Fairview Cemetery. An additional fence was put up in Pine Ridge Cemetery. Developments of new areas were made in Pine Ridge, Fairview and Hart Pond cemeteries.
Aproximately three thousand dollars were taken in to the Per- petual Fund account, which is showing a steady increase.
With the increase of the town population, there were also sixty interments during the past year which is the greatest number on record in one year or approximately one every six days.
The truck voted the department at the last annual meeting has proven to be a greater asset than anticipated in the performance of the manifold jobs required during the various seasons of the year along with its usefulness in general cemetery work every day, every week.
It is the plan of the Cemetery Commissioners to improve the roads in each cemetery comparable with the work accomplished in Pine Ridge in recent years, along with planting of shrubs and trees where necessary. It is hoped that this can be accomplished by doing one cemetery each year or so, with the approval of the citizens, as in past years.
The Commissioners wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and all Town Officials who have been so cooperative to us.
