FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and

FIRE DEPARTMENT


The Drill School is in its Sixth year of operation. All Department personnel are required to take part in this program. The results of this school are easily seen, in that it gives each man the necessary training and experience to perform the many duties required of a fire- fighter.


I have inserted an Article in this year's Town Warrant asking for $650.00 for a radio-base-station. Since this equipment is necessary for the Town to participate in the Essex County Mutual Aid Program, it is approved for matching funds from the Federal Government. Once approval is obtained for the State Civilian Defense Agency the Town will be eligible to receive reimbursement of 50% of this ex- penditure. I therefore recommend approval of this Article.


This year has again been a year of progress for the Department; not only in fire-fighting, but also in rescue work. The Department has sent a group of ten men to school to obtain knowledge and training in underwater rescue. Although this group does not have the necessary equipment to perform such rescue work at this writing, it is hoped that in the next few months that they will have the necessary equip- ment which will enable them to perform underwater rescue.


I should like to call to the attention of all persons having gas or oil burner equipment installed in their properties that the law re- quires that a permit be issued by the Fire Department for such equipment. I urge all persons having such equipment installed to see that the necessary permit is obtained by the contractor.


I again recommend that the the installation of fire-detection systems in all Town Buildings be done, especially Howe-Manning School; and that these systems be tied into Fire Headquarters.


I again urge the citizens to familiarize themselves in the proper way to call the fire Department in case of an emergency. If you live. near a street box, use it; if not Dial SP 4-2211. Do not dial the operator, as this connects you with the Lynn office, and many times this causes a delay because the Operator calls the Danvers Fire De- partment. We have been notified of fires, many times, this past year by the Danvers Fire Department, who have received the call from the Operator.


I am grateful to the Board of Fire Engineers, the citizens of the Town, my officers and men, for their co-operation during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


HAROLD F. PURDY,


Chief

WATER BOARD REPORT


REPORT OF WATER BOARD


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and


Citizens of Middleton


Gentlemen :


Herewith is submitted our fourth annual report as your water board.


We have been very fortunate this year as we had no major breakdown in the system.


Hydrants have been repainted and poles marked and surrounding area cleaned, also snow removed.


In asmuch as the residents of King Street refused to cooperate with the regular procedure of the water department, that is, that the abutters pay for the installation and the town furnish the pipe and fittings and hydrants, the commissions felt that, in the best interest of the town the money be returned to the town and an article inserted in the warrant for this purpose.


It is the policy of this department that when in the opinion of the commissioners, should water pipes be repaired or replaced the town will supply the materials as far as the property line and the abbutters must pay for the installation.


Until such time as a definite plan or betterment program is es- tablished in the town, any extentions of mains will have to be made by placing articles in the Town Warrant for such purpose.


Housing developments will clear with the. Commissioners any plans they may have for water mains, or water service.


During the year we have had numerous meetings with officials of the Town of Danvers in regard to payments to Middleton and much progress has been made. However. to date we have been unable to get a definite and satisfactory agreement. This should be settled in the very near future.


The Water Board wishes to take this opportunity to thank the other Town Departments for their very fine cooperation throughout the year.


Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS Benjamin Richardson, Chairman Donald Aylward Roger M. Peabody, Clerk

RECOMMENDATIONS FINANCE COMMITTEE


The chart is submitted as an aid to the voters and to give a financial picture of the town indicating 1961 capital outlay and is not to be interpreted as an accounting audit of the town financial structure.


Voters must be mindful that the community's tax rate, in the final analysis, is determined by decisions they themselves make Town Meeting night.


The committee wishes to express its appreciation to the Board of Selectmen and heads of Departments for their time, effort and splendid cooperation in support of this proposed 1961 budget.
