I would recommend the town purchase as soon as possible three radios for the fire trucks, one in each station. The Civil Defense installed one in my car this year which has proved very successful. It has enabled me to contact help without delay and on the job where communication is needed.
I would recommend the purchasing of 21/2 inch hose, and I would like to say here that at the present time we have ample hose to equip each truck, but after each fire or when the hose is used it has to be cleaned and dried before it is packed back on the truck, therefore, we should have enough spare hose to replace what was used as each truck has to be ready for service at all times and of course, cannot wait for drying process. This condition has come to my at- tention twice this year.
The new Fire Station at Acton Center was completed and accepted October 17, 1951, and certainly is an improve- ment to the Village. It will serve the Town for a great many years.
58
I would strongly recommend that some action be taken at this time about permanent men to handle the fire alarm system, as I understand the dial telephone will be in operation in August of this year. As this situation may take a lot of study, we should be prepared for it beforehand.
In closing my report I would like to say this, the town is growing fast and will continue to do so, so we in the fire service in order to be efficient must grow with it.
Respectfully submitted,
H. S. MacGREGOR, Chief of Fire Department

Our accident record this year has shown great improve- ment and I am pleased to report that there were no fatalities.
Radio :
We have, at the present time, one of the best police radio hookups in the state. Our two new stations, KCB875 at the Police Station at the Town Hall and Station KCB876 at the Chief's home, are on the same frequencies as KCA685 (Concord Police) and KCA313 (Maynard Police) and any calls put out by any one of these stations can be picked up by police cruisers in Concord, Acton, Maynard and Lincoln.
61
These stations form a radio communication system between these police departments that has proved essential. During the past year a total of 605 messages were logged here through the four stations.
As recommended in my report last year and for which money was appropriated at the last annual town meeting, radio stations were installed and radio communication made possible between the police and fire departments. On October 12th, a 30-watt station was installed at the Chief's home, 60 Prospect Street, South Acton and on October 29th, a 60- watt station was installed and put into operation at the police station in the Town Hall. Since going into service, 189 messages have been received through these stations, 34 from KCB876 and are broken down as follows: Water Dept .- 1, Fire Dept .- 10, and Police Dept .- 178. The station at the Chief's home is operated by Mrs. Foley and the Chief after his regular hours of work, without cost to the town. The following have been granted licenses to operate the stations by the Federal Communications Commission : Virginia Milbery, Viola M. Foley, C. R. Fenton, Jr., E. J. Collins, Jr., E. J. Higgins and Chief Michael Foley.
Auxiliary Police :
The Auxiliary Police unit, which was formed as a Civil Defense measure, held only two meetings during the year. More meetings would have been held only for the lack of interest in Civil Defense as a whole. However, I recommend that this unit be kept intact for future developments.
Traffic :
I recommend that Speed Limit signs be installed on Central Street and Massachusetts Avenue, West Acton and Concord Road, Acton Center this year.
Cruiser :
The cruiser will have an estimated speedometer reading of 60,000 miles by April 1st and I recommend that the present car be traded in for a 1952 model.
62
Call Acton 169 for Police :
All calls, day or night, should be made by calling Acton 169. If the officer on duty is on patrol, he will be notified by radio of your call. If the officer is at some other place, your call will be transferred to that number by the operator. In an emergency, simply call Emergency Acton 169-state the nature of the emergency and your location before leaving the telephone. Never try to contact the officer direct by radio. This means of contacting the police will have to be changed when the local Telephone Exchange goes to dial. It is hoped that by that time, a suitable method of handling police calls will be worked out.
Your Police Department is on duty twenty-four hours a day and is always willing to serve you.
In closing, I wish to thank all the officers of this de- partment who cooperated with me in carrying out the duties of the Police Department during the past year. I also wish to express my thanks to the Board of Selectmen for their cooperation during the past year and to the local telephone operators for their efficient handling of our emergency calls and to the personnel of the Concord Police Department for their radio broadcasts. To all others who in any way assisted us, we are grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
MICHAEL FOLEY, Chief of Police

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my report concerning the work of the Highway Department for the year of 1951.
The usual maintenance work of cleaning, scraping, patch- ing, drainage, and brush cutting was carried on.
Five cap stone culverts were replaced with steel pipe.
Several hundred feet of cable guard rail was erected on various streets.
Pine Street was constructed.
Surface treatment of asphalt was applied to the usual mileage of streets.
Another section of Main Street was completed. A Con- siderable amount of ledge had to be removed. Several hundred feet of stone wall was removed or rebuilt. It is hoped that sufficient funds will be allocated to complete the re- maining section to Great Road in 1952.
Respectfully submitted,
RUSSELL C. BERRY,
Superintendent of Streets
REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I herewith submit my report for the year 1951. An appropriation of $2700 was made for moth control. All shade trees on town property were sprayed with a DDT and Arsenate of lead solution. The elm trees were given two sprays for control of the Elm Leaf Beetle.
Dutch Elm Disease was discovered in Acton in July of 1951. Once a tree is infected the disease moves very rapidly, the tree usually dying within a year. The only effective control measures known are burning or burying all
65
dead or infected elm wood and the control of the Elm Bark Beetle which spreads the disease.
Your Moth Superintendent asked for additional expense money, from the Finance Committee, to remove the trees already infected. $250 was received and used for this work. Forty-six trees infected with Dutch Elm Disease have been removed. There are seven trees remaining known to have the disease, and twenty-four suspected of having it. I there- fore request that $1000 be appropriated for the control of Dutch Elm Disease.
Respectfully Submitted, FRANKLIN H. CHARTER, Moth Superintendent
REPORT OF TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Town Forest Committee submits the following re- port for the year 1951.
The sum of $250.00 was appropriated for work in the Town Forest. A road was cut across the Durkee lot from the right of way on Route 2 to the right of way off Newtown Road. This road is wide enough for a truck but does not constitute a fire break. We, therefore, request $250.00 in 1952 to remove the underbrush back 25 feet on either side of this road.
The Committee visited the Texas lot in North Acton. This land is covered with scrub oak. The only means of bringing this 50 acre lot into timber production is through replanting. The Committee does not recommend this at the present time.
The Committee has instituted proceeding to purchase additional land for the Town Forest along Route 2. If this purchase of 4 or 5 acres is possible it will no longer be neces- sary to cross private property to get to the Town Forest.

REPORT OF VETERANS' SERVICES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
During the year 1951 we have gradually added more and more names of young men and women to the list of those who serve us in our armed forces, until now we have ninety one. We hope and trust that our assistance to those needing our service has been helpful and that they will continue to feel free to call at anytime, when they are home on furlough or write us if the need arises. Also as more are called or enlist will you please let us know.
Several adjudicated cases have come up for review from the Veterans Administration and in most instances the per cent of disability has been settled as the same or are in- creased, some have required hospitalization for operative con- ditions, very few have decreased in percentage by the physi- cal improvement of the Veteran. We have had several hospital cases, some of emergency nature, and still have some. As World War I men get older we expect more. As World War II men get adjusted to civil life and find they aren't as rugged as they thought they were, they too find it neces- sary to acquire attention and treatment and we try to see their needs fulfilled even though there is a bed shortage in Veterans Administration Facilities. If the Government cuts much more out of the hospital program here in the East where there is an acute bed shortage as well as a doctor and nursing shortage, how the Veterans can be taken care of is more than we care to guess. In fact the Administrator in Washington has interpreted legislative acts to his liking so much (contra to legislative intent) detrimental to the Veteran that there has been several attempts to get him dismissed. However we on the local level working thru the various Veteran organizations are still enabled to take care of most cases as they present themselves even though it sometimes takes longer and requires more and devious ways to accomplish the same purpose.
68
There are still quite a number of discharges that have not been recorded and I seriously suggest to the men and women who have forgotten this to do so at once.
With many thanks to the officials, the citizens, and the Veterans for their continued help and assistance in many ways in the past and a hope that the future will look brighter with fighting and bloodshed outmoded as a means of settling disputes and a peaceful citizenry allowed to pur- sue a peaceful and gainful existence.
Sincerely, THERON A. LOWDEN Director.
