ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE TREE DEPARTMENT
Many trees can be expected to show the results of the drought damage of last year, as lack of moisture has a tendency to increase borer infestation.
Early spring was devoted to planting of 100 trees. The planting was confined to new streets that had no shade trees, and school and fire- house grounds. An additional 25 trees were purchased and planted with funds donated by local Kiwanis and Lions organizations.
The usual tree removals, prunings and storm damage work was carried out, and most requests that could be handled by this depart- ment were done.
Respectfully submitted, MYLES J. HOGAN, Tree Warden.
MOTH DEPARTMENT
Spraying was carried out in the usual manner, consisting of three sprays at different intervals. One dormant oil spray and two adult sprays for the foliage.
The spraying was completed and results satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,
MYLES J. HOGAN, Moth Supt.
DUTCH ELM DEPARTMENT
Over 100 large trees were removed to ground level, plus the topping of many others as a safety precaution, leaving the stubs for future removal.
One application of oil spray was applied early in the spring to combat disease-carrying insects over wintering in elms.
Whereas Dutch Elm Disease is still on the increase, and no known cure has been found, we can expect this condition to exist. Respectfully submitted,
MYLES J. HOGAN, Moth Supt.
MOSQUITO CONTROL
I am happy to say that this year, being the first time a mosquito control program was undertaken, was most successful.
The aerial spraying was carried out effectively, and very few com- plaints received in regards to its application.
134
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
In addition to the aerial spray, ground units applied material in swamp areas and sections needing special attention.
Respectfully sumitted,
MYLES J. HOGAN,
Moth Supt.
POISON IVY
The poison ivy control was very effective this year due to the dry weather and high temperatures.
All material was applied and proved most effective.
Many requests were made for this service.
Respectfully submitted, MYLES J. HOGAN, Moth Supt.
REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES
February 4, 1958
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:
During the year 1957 this department has continued to give service to veterans and their dependents. Payments were slightly larger than in 1956. 28 cases were aided, an increase of 2 over the previous year. Financial aid was extended in the form of basic living expenses, med- ical care and hospitalization.
Korean Veterans were aided in filing for the State Bonus. All em- ployable applicants were aided in securing employment wherever possible. Legal papers where necessary were notorized free of charge.
Yours truly, GORDON P. DeWOLF, Veterans' Agent.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
VETERANS EMERGENCY FUND COMMITTEE
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Chelmsford
Gentlemen:
The Veterans' Emergency Fund Committee wish to submit their annual report to you and to the townspeople of Chelmsford.
During the year 1957 one application was presented to the Com- mittee members for consideration. From subsequent investigation it appeared that the applicant did need immediate assistance due to a series of unfortunate happenings.
The committee did approve aid totaling $100.00 and the funds were used as rent payments and paid directly to the owner of the property where the applicant resided. The committee, if possible, de- sires to place assistance in the form of material help, rather than cash payments. In the case cited above, this practice was continued.
Applications for assistance should first be made to the Veterans' Agent, Mr. Gordon P. DeWolf, after which the application is for- warded to the committee for their consideration.
The year 1957 brought additional income to our funds on deposit. The sum of $98.09 was received; a sum almost equivalent to the amount of assistance granted.
The committe members, listed by precincts, once again is in- cluded in this report. Applicants should contact their precinct repre- sentative when information is desired. The members' names follow:
Precinct 1-Center
George Archer
Precinct 2-North
Joseph Sadowski
Precinct 3-West
