ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Chelmsford
Gentlemen:
During the year 1957, the Personnel Board of the Personnel Wage and Salary Administration have heard the various department heads regarding their requests for salary increases and considered same.
We have presented our recommendations for the year 1958 before December 21, 1957 according to the By-Law.
1. Board member Charles P. Wright, due to ill health, resigned; ef- fective date to be on the election of his successor. He was replaced by Board Member Charles E. Cooke, Jr. who was elected by the town employees on October 18, 1957.
2. The Board is required under the aforesaid By-Law to consider the following: Whenever the Personnel Board reviews the wage and sala- ry provisions of this Plan it shall take into account and give such weight as it may deem desirable to the following:
a. Rates of pay for like positions in other Massachusetts towns considered by the Personnel Board to be comparable to Chelmsford.
b. Rates of pay for like jobs (if any) in commercial and business establishments in area of Chelmsford and vicinity.
c. The current level of the following cost-of-living indexes:
1. Retail Price Index-published by the Department of La- bor and Industries, Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
2. Consumers Price Index-published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor.
Information on like positions in other towns has been furnished the Board by Department heads and is assumed to be accurate. The statis- tics on the retail price index have been studied by the Board. The combined price index, published by the Commonwealth shows between a four and five percent rise this year.
3. In view of tremendous population growth of Chelmsford, the Board feels that the Police Department should be expanded to some extent. The Department has strongly urged that the hours of work be shortened to bring them in line with most comparable towns and in- dustry as a whole. The recommendations as to wages for the Police Department should be read together with the recommendations for proposed changes in Section 19 of the Personnel, Wage and Salary Administration By-Law which concerns hours.

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
February 1, 1958
To The Citizens of The Town:
The Park Commission organized with Bradford O. Emerson, Chair- man, Ralph E. House and A. Louis Bennett, Clerk.
A program for the improvement and maintenance of the Parks was set up. This included spreading loam, fertilizer and grass seed where- ever needed. Flowers were also set out on the various parks through- out the town in the spring. The lawns were mowed and raked regu- larly. Due to the exceptionally dry weather this past summer and the shortage of water in some sections, we did not water the lawns as much as was needed.
The responsibility for repairs and care of the Veterans' Memorial in the East section was assumed by the Park Department last year and all necessary repairs to establish this memorial on an attractive and proper basis were completed this year.
Respectfully submitted,
BRADFORD O. EMERSON RALPH E. HOUSE A. LOUIS BENNETT

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Chelmsford:
The Planning Board was organized for the year 1957 with Harold E. Clayton, Jr. as Chairman, Carl A. E. Peterson, Clerk, George R. Dupee, Charles D. Harrington, Claude J. Harvey, Allan Ludwig, Harold J. Pearson as members and Dorothy J. Lewis as Recording Clerk.
The Board held 18 Meetings during the year. There were four Public Hearings for Sub-divisions applied for, with one withdrawn, one dis- approved and two approved.
The Board has had an opportunity to work with the new By-Law, enacted last year and finds it to be quite satisfactory in most respects. However, there are one or two changes that the Board feels should be incorporated and will present these as amendments, at the Annual Town Meeting. It is felt that there is an opportunity to increase the Limited Industrial area along Littleton Road, this is one of the changes which the Board feels might prove a great asset to the Town.
The Planning Board holds its Regular Meetings in its quarters at the Centre Town Hall on the third Friday evening of each month. Any citizen of the community is more than welcome to meet with the Board at that time and discuss with them any problem they might have concerning better planning for the town.

Police answered 2,523 calls in 1957. Summons served for out-of- town Police Departments 225. Stolen cars recovered 22. Business places found unlocked 161. Number of Arrests 95.
Cruiser mileage for three cruisers 196,224 miles, which is 5,922 more miles than patroled in 1956.
The year 1957 was another busy year for your Police Department. The town is growing and with this growth the demand for more and more Police Service grows along with it. The crime of Breaking and Entering in the Night time took a big surge upward this year and we find that as many juveniles were involved as adults in this serious crime. The crime of malicious damage to property also climbed up- ward with the accent again on juveniles. At the present time we do not have a serious juvenile delinquency problem, but as the population grows the juvenile problem grows along with it and it may be neces- sary sometime in the future to send an officer to school for special training in this phase of Police Work.
This year I am asking for five additional Permanent Patrolmen, bringing our department up to fifteen men as of July 1, 1958 and I am asking that one patrolman be promoted to Sergeant, which will build our department up to a Chief, three Sergeants and eleven Patrolmen. This will give us four permanent men on each of three shifts and three permanent spare men who will fill in on days off.
Again this year your Police Department assisted at the various Halloween parties which were very successful and vandalism was kept at a minimum.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
The Auxiliary Police Band under the able direction of Sergeant Larkin conducted many outdoor concerts during the past year and was greatly enjoyed by young and old alike, and it is planned to con- tinue these fine concerts in 1958 for your enjoyment.
At the present time we have twenty-four Auxiliary Police Officers who were uniformed at no expense to the Town by donations from the people of the town.
Sergeant Basil Larkin is in charge of this fine group and conducts classes every two weeks on various phases of Police work. The Auxil- iary Police were used at several outdoor events during the summer and handled their assignments efficiently.
At this time I wish to express my thanks to the Board of Selectmen and all other town officials and employees and to the general public for the excellent co-operation given to the Police Department during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, RALPH J. HULSLANDER Chief of Police.

REPORT OF HONOR ROLL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF HONOR ROLL COMMITTEE
The Firemen's Relief Association, District 1, observing that the Honor Roll was in dire need of care, requested of the Selectmen permission to assume its responsibility. This being granted, it was found there was about twenty-eight dollars in a fund known as the Honor Roll Fund.
With the use of this money, new flags were purchased, geraniums were planted and a coat of paint was applied to the flag poles and the Honor Roll. The grounds were kept in presentable condition the remainder of the year.
It was noted that, through error, several names were omitted from the Honor Roll. This year a sum of money has been set aside by the Selectmen to complete the list of names and for general up- keep.
It is the desire of the members in the Firemen's Relief Associa- tion, District 1, to volunteer their services for the maintenance of the Honor Roll until such time as the town may establish a permanent Memorial.
Respectfully submitted,
J. IRA SPAULDING HAROLD A. LINSTAD ALLAN KIDDER

REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The Park Commissioners submit their report as follows:
We have carried on the care and upkeep of the public parks much the same as in past years. The money appropriated for our department has been wholly used for that purpose.
The care of the parks this year was divided up with James Dunigan having the North and West precincts and Harold Eriksen and William Johnson having the South, Westlands and Center pre- cincts.
At this time we wish to thank the townspeople and police for their help and cooperation with us in carrying on the work which was placed in our hands by vote of the town and hope that the work has been carried on according to their wishes.
Respectfully submitted,
