Gentlemen:
The Cemetery Commissioners submit the following report for the year 1958.
The former highway tractor given to this department last year, has enabled us to develop large areas and do work on a scale never before possible.
In the Pine Ridge Cemetery, about an acre of woodland was cleared, roads were oiled, a large spruce tree was transplanted and large areas were regraded and seeded.
In the Riverside Cemetery a new entrance was opened, a new road was built and the roads were oiled.
In the Hart Pond Cemetery, a new water system was installed. All cemeteries were cut regularly.
Thirty-two cemetery lots were sold. (a record high for any one year)
Seventy-six interments were made. (again, a high for any one year)
$5,995.00 was added to the Perpetual Care Fund.
The commissioners wish to thank all town officials for their co- operation during the past year but would also especially like to thank Mr. Fred Greenwood, supt. of the highway, and Mr. George Stewart, supt. of the water department, for all their assistance in 1958.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE CIVIL DEFENSE COMMISSION
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Chelmsford, Massachusetts
The year 1958 has been one of progress in Civil Defense in Chelms- ford. The public response to our projects in first aid classes and auxiliary police classes was most gratifying. We now feel that the general public now accepts civilian defense as an integral part of community living. We have tried to keep realistically in pace in developing programs that will be of great use in any disaster that may come about.
Over ninety women have given a great deal of time to attend ad- vanced first aid classes each week. These classes have been under the able supervision of Mrs. Helen Jewett, R.N. and Mrs. Ethel Peverill, R.N. We believe the benefits derived from this course will be of great value, not only to those attending the classes, but also to our town should the occasion arise when their services are needed.
The auxiliary police have met each week for instruction in police regulations, and classes in advanced first aid. Sgt. Basil Larkin has done a fine job in the training of these men. This group has responded to call on many occasions such as fire, traffic duty, drownings and accidents. We should all be proud of the continued interest of those in this project.
The radio hams have met and conducted weekly drills and have been in full operation to participate in practice alerts from the state and local level. It is the intention of this group to teach all those interested in becoming radio hams, code instruction, and this should be a fine project to take advantage of.
We have purchased new equipment this year consisting of a walkie- talkie for the police department, a mobile radio for the fire department, an electric megaphone and a new radio monitor for the North fire station. We have purchased coats for the auxiliary police and other equipment for public safety.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Chelmsford
Gentlemen:
The following is my report of Fire Department activities for the year ending December 31, 1958.
During this year the Town, and in particular the Fire Department, suffered a great loss in the passing of our Chief, Allan Kidder. His life was dedicated to the Fire Service, and the work that he accom- plished will always be a tribute to his memory.
Our records show that there is a steady increase in the number of calls requested of the Fire Department. This year there was a drop in the number of grass and brush fires due to the wet Spring and Fall, and the number of dump fires was held to a minimum because of the excellent condition in which the Town Dump is kept, and burn- ing controlled.
During this past year a new pumper was delivered to the Town, and is in service at the North Fire Station. The addition of this truck gives adequate pumper protection for some time to come.
Also, this past year has seen the fulfillment of our drive to secure a Rescue Truck, at no cost to the Town. This truck with the equip- ment cost over Twelve Thousand Dollars, and of this amount the fire- fighters themselves donated over Five Thousand Dollars from their Relief Fund.
At the West and South Stations modern overhead doors have been installed, and the grounds have been leveled and graded, with new driveways put in.
A considerable amount of work has been done at the Center Station. The upstairs section which was left unfinished when the building was built, has now been completed, and painted. All of the woodwork on the outside of the building was given a coat of paint, and we are now in the process of painting the downstairs section. All of this work has been done by the firefighters themselves on their regular tour of duty.
The immediate problem facing the Fire Department continues to be the need for additional manpower. There is only one man on duty at the North Station on each shift at present. This is a dangerous situa- tion, and in order to correct it I am requesting permission from the voters at the Annual Town Meeting in March to appoint three addi- tional men. These three men will be assigned to the North Station and we will then have two men on each shift to answer any call for assistance.
Additional equipment needed is both a ladder truck and a brush truck, but to keep expenditures as low as possible I am requesting that only the brush truck be purchased this year. Our present truck
88
ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
is eighteen years old, and because it gets more use than all other trucks combined, it is just about worn out.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the men of the de- partment, both regular and call firefighters, for their interest and cooperation during this past year.

Tests for private well water may be obtained without charge to Town Residents. Tests of the milk supply for the Town of Chelmsford are consistently good and comply with the State Standard. Phos- phatase tests for proper pasteurization, coliform and bacteria counts were made five times during the year.
Bathing Beaches were heavily used and water samples were taken weekly during the bathing season. Bathing was discontinued by recommendation of this Department for two weeks while the con- tamination count was high. The dead fish which was believed to have been killed by the aerial spray for mosquito control, were immediate- ly removed from Hart's Pond and Crystal Lake, to prevent con- tamination.
Garbage Collection
Garbage Collection was awarded to the McKennedy Brothers from 1956 through 1959. The Board of Health is certain that the superior work done by the McKennedy Brothers will continue.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT
REPORT OF THE CHELMSFORD INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
In the year of 1958, the third year since the establishment of the Chelmsford Industrial Development Commission, the procedure of providing information to various businesses that would be an asset to the town was continued.
The Commission had several firms contact them with regards to sites available for industry and at present are still maneuvering to find suitable locations for some of these firms.
The Planning Board has cooperated with the Commission by re- zoning certain areas in the town so that more Industrial and Limited Industrial land would be available for the firms we might contact in the future.
