The problem of sufficient Industrial and Limited Industrial Areas in locations favorable to these various businesses seems to be a major item in enticing these concerns to settle in Chelmsford.


The Commission meets on the fourth Thursday of each month in general meeting. On occasion a special meeting is held in lieu of the regular meeting. Notice of each meeting is posted on the Center Town Hall Bulletin Board. All interested Citizens are invited to attend the meetings.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE ADAMS LIBRARY LIBRARIAN


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


The work at the Adams Library has been conducted in much the same manner as in previous years with few changes.


In January the bookmobile from the State Regional Library Center at North Reading began to make regular monthly trips to two schools. These stops were the East Chelmsford School and the West- lands.


Mrs. Blair Benner continued the Story Hour until the last of May. This Story Hour was discontinued in the fall as Mrs. Benner moved from Chelmsford.


Gifts of books and magazines were received from Mrs. C. F. Smith, Mr. Robert Hoyle, Mrs. Paul Ranta, Miss Marjorie Butler, Miss Sophie Siebka, Mr. William J. Fulton, Miss Helen Seton and Mr. Norbert Cahill.


A few teachers in elementary schools have taken monthly deposit of books to supplement those available in their school libraries.


Grade 2 with their teacher, Miss Linda Marinel, paid a visit to the library in November. Such groups are always very welcome.


Mr. Raymond S. Kroll has been in charge of the exhibits again this past year. As in previous years they have been varied, and aroused much interest.


The Chelmsford Garden Club has furnished decorations each month. This service is much appreciated.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD


To The Honorable Board of Selectmen:


1. During the year 1958 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.


2. The board is required under the aforesaid By-Law to consider the following: Whenever the Personnel Board reviews the wage and salary 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 town considered by the Personnel Board to be comparable to Chelmsford.


b. Rates of pay for like jobs (if any) in commercial and busi- ness establishments in area of Chelmsford and vicinity.


Current level of the following cost of living indexes:


c. 1. Retail Price Index-published by the Department of Labor 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 stat- istics on the Retail Price Index have been studied by the Board. The Board has allowed a three percent cost of living increase.


3. The recommendations as to wages for the Police and Fire Depart- ments should be read together with the recommendations for a pro- posed change in Section 19 of the Personnel, Wage, and Salary Administration By-Law to be amended by adding at the end thereof, as follows: "This section shall not be interpreted to allow Over Time to the Head of a Department." The Board has tried to bring the Police and Fire wages in line with comparable towns.


4. Before writing this report, this Board met with all Department heads and the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee in order to obtain the benefit of free discussion with them.


5. The Board recommends that the positions of School Nurse, start- ing in 1959 be under the jurisdiction of the School Committee.


6. Certain requests for fringe benefits on part of the Police and Fire Department were deemed unnecessary by the board and were not recommended.


7. Certain positions not deemed a substantial part of an employee's livelihood were not given a cost of living increase.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS


At the first meeting of the Commissioners, Ralph E. House was elected chairman, Bradford O. Emerson, clerk and A. Louis Bennett the third member. Harold Eriksen was renamed superintendent for the year.


With the coming of Spring, operation "Clean-up" began and the litter and debris of the past months was removed to make way for the green grass which soon followed. Fertilizer was spread on all of the lawns and loam was placed on a few bare spots which had not grown well in the past season. A few shrubs that had been winter-killed were replaced and several hundred plants were set out just before Memorial Day. The rest of the season required the usual mowing, raking and watering.


The three major pieces of equipment owned by this department are two power mowers and one power sweeper. It is our plan to replace one of these each year. In 1958 one power mower was pur- chased and in 1959 we hope to replace the present sweeper which is badly worn. This plan will eliminate a heavy outlay in any one year.


May we express our appreciation to those who have helped the Park Department enjoy a very successful season.


Yours truly, RALPH E. HOUSE A. LOUIS BENNETT BRADFORD O. EMERSON

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 of 1958 with Carl A. E. Peterson as Chairman, Claude J. Harvey, Clerk, Harold E. Clayton, Jr., George R. Dupee, Charles D. Harrington, Allan A. Ludwig, Harold J. Pearson as members and Dorothy J. Lewis as Recording Clerk.


There were twelve regular and four special meetings held during the year.


Of the nine Public Hearings for Sub-divisions applied for and held, six of the plans have been approved and three are conditionally ap- proved.


In February a Public Hearing was held on proposed changes in the Zoning By-Laws. After careful study, these changes were rec- ommended to the people of the Town, by the Planning Board. These proposed changes in the Zoning By-Laws were made in order to increase the Limited Industrial area from the Westford line south of Littleton Road to meet the area already zoned as Limited Industrial. At the Town Meeting in March the people voted approval of these changes.


In view of the fact that the town is to be bisected by two super highways, namely Route 3, and Route 495, the Planning Board is giving consideration to revised zoning in accordance with the changing character of the community as a result of the construction of these two super highways.


The Board holds its regular meeting on the third Friday of every month and anyone wishing to discuss any matter pertaining to Town Planning will be welcome at that time.

Police answered 2,569 calls in 1958. Summons served for out-of- town Police Departments 254. Stolen cars recovered 26. Business places found unlocked 146. Number of arrests 130.


The three cruisers patrolled 203,662 miles, which is 7,438 more miles than was patrolled in 1957.


The year 1958 has been a very busy year for your Police Depart- ment as you can see by the preceeding statistics.


A greater and greater demand is being placed on the Police De- partment for various services. In addition to answering calls and in- vestigating accidents the list of property to be checked while resi- dents are on vacation is mounting every year. This is a very im- portant phase of police work and I urge all residents to notify the Police Department when they are leaving on vacation, so that we may better serve you.


Crime is on the increase in Chelmsford as it is in many communi- ties throughout the country. This general area experienced a rash of breaking and entering crimes this year, and Chelmsford had its share. Many days of investigation were spent in attempting to solve these crimes.


Starting January 1, 1959 your Police Department went on a five day forty-hour week. This year I am asking for three more perma- nent patrolmen, one to be assigned to each shift, to take care of days off so that the department will be fully manned at all times.


Sgt. Harmon is attending the Judge Baker Guidance Clinic in Brookline, this is a school of instruction on how to better deal with Juvenile Delinquents. This course runs for twenty weeks, one after- noon a week. After completion of this course we will have an officer trained in the latest methods of handling juvenile delinquents.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


The Auxiliary Police Band under the able direction of Sgt. Basil Larkin conducted many concerts during the past year and was greatly enjoyed by young and old alike, and it is planned to continue these fine concerts in 1959 for your enjoyment.


At the present time we have thirty Auxiliary Police Officers, com- pletely uniformed and well trained in all phases of the type of police work they would be called upon to perform in case of an emergency. Sgt. Larkin is in charge of this fine group.


At this time I wish to express my thanks to the Board of Select- men and all other Town Officials and employees, also to the general public for the excellent co-operation given the Police Department during the past year.


Respectfully submitted, RALPH J. HULSLANDER Chief of Police.

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN


The report for Chelmsford's 303rd year, ending December 31, 1958, has a slightly different look than those of the past.


In the interest of economy and factual reporting, some items, not required by law, have been removed from this year's report. Further reductions of unessential material and expansion of more vital factors contributing to the operations of our growing community are an- ticipated in another year. We do not expect complete approval of these revisions but ask your indulgence in our attempt to meet the requirements of our changing times.


We have not yet experienced any vast influx of new industry. The Industrial Development Commission has prepared promotional mate- rial and has established saleable areas, their owners, and approximate prices. We're certain they'll continue to work towards the goal of at- tracting desirable industry to Chelmsford.


It is always unfortunate that some people suffer from the develop- ment of new highways. The ultimate completion of the new Route 110 and the long awaited construction of the balance of Route 3 should place the town at the crossroads of major transportation lines and it seems likely that this should eventually lead to industrial growth in Chelmsford.


During 1958, Stedman Street was reconstructed from the Lowell line to Dalton Road. This was built by our Highway Department with certain operations completed on open bid. The town's share of this Chapter 90 construction came from Chapter 718 funds granted by the State in 1956 for such construction projects. Thus, this was accom- plished without adding to the tax dollar and, at the same time, the Road Machinery account was reimbursed through the use of our High- way equipment for this construction. We anticipate doing a similar reconstruction job on a portion of Concord Road in 1959.


We have also begun a program of widening many of our older streets. Increased housing and expanded school bus routes makes this an important program. Widening streets invariably results in con- cern over destruction of lawns which, although usually on the town highway, are often incorrectly believed to be private property. We will continue to try to leave them in as good order as possible but ask your indulgency during this expansion program.


Any town experiencing a growth in population such as ours, finds a serious strain placed on its Police and Fire Departments. The fact that both are operating efficiently is a tribute to their department heads and to their men as well.


Chelmsford has a 15 man Police Department, three cruisers, and receives around the clock service and protection. We have 16 perma- nent firemen supported by volunteer firefighters manning six heavy

ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


duty pumpers as well as forestry and rescue equipment. Neither de- partment can continue to serve our growing population adequately without additions to their present forces. The Board of Selectmen urge your approval of their requests for more personnel. It is para- mount that our police and fire protection meet our needs rather than attempt to catch up to them.


We were saddened by the death of Allan Kidder who had served on the Fire Department for 31 years, and as its Chief for the past 10 years.


While it is impossible for any Board to satisfy all the people, we enjoyed serving you in 1958. We appreciate the cooperation and understanding given us during the past year.


Respectfully submitted, EDGAR P. GEORGE


ROBERT F. McANDREW RAYMOND J. GREENWOOD Board of Selectmen.


REPORT OF THE SLAUGHTER INSPECTOR


January 15, 1959


To the Board of Health


Gentlemen:


The following is the report of the Slaughter Inspector for the year 1958.


In compliance with Chapter 94, Section 128, the Board of Health must appoint a Slaughter Inspector for the Town, one who is quali- fied and accepted by examination approval of the State Slaughter Inspector. Due to the fact that there is no Licensed Slaughter House in the Town, it was recommended that a maximum fee of $100.00 payable at the rate of $10.00 per animal when slaughtered.
