NINETY-SIXTH REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORTS OF THE FOREST WARDEN


AND SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE ALARMS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,


Gentlemen:


The 1950 report of the Fire Department, Forest Warden and Super- intendent of Fire Alarm is hereby submitted.


Manual Force. The permanent force consists of fourteen men in- cluding the Chief, Deputy Chief, Captain, 2 Lieutenants, one of whom is mechanic. There are 19 call firemen and a Dispatcher on call. The Auxiliary Fire Service numbers thirty men.


Apparatus. A 65 ft. Junior Aerial Ladder truck, five pumping en- gines, two trailer pumps, one hose trailer, one 1 ton Utility truck with pump, a Chevrolet Sedan Chief's Car. The latter purchased this year to replace the 1937 Packard which had outlived its usefulness. A two- way radio was also purchased this year and placed in the new Chief's Car. Additional Resucitator tanks and Scott Air-Pak tanks were pur- chased to have enough spare tanks to keep each Air-Pak in service while empty tanks are being refilled. These Scott Air-Paks were used extensively in the past year and proved to be satisfactory in perform- ance and a definite aid to fighting fires where the oxygen content of the air was deficient.


Service Record. The department has responded to 135 bell alarms, 6 of which were false; 273 still alarms, 2 of which were false; and 132 service calls. A total of 540 or 44 more than 1949. Included in the total calls were 190 for grass, brush and dump fires, 25 of which were in the town dump on John Street. The fire loss for the year on property endangered valued at $123,855.00 was 32,490.00 an increase of $2,568.05 over 1949. 20 firemen and 3 civilians received minor injuries at fires. The following equipment was used: 209 booster tanks; 30,800 ft. of 3/4 inch booster hose; 1,000 ft. of 11/8 inch State hose; 45,000 ft. of 11/2 inch hose; 28,700 ft. of 21/2 inch hose; engines pumped 1211/4 hours; 1,379 ft. of ladders raised including 13 times the aerial ladder raised. 32 fire extinguishers of different types were used. 7 fires were investigated by inspectors from the State Fire Marshal's Office.


Routine inspections have been made of business property, nursing homes, schools and places of public assembly as far as possible with the limited personnel available. 329 inspections have been made and permits issued for power oil burners. 39 inspections made and permits issued for range oil burner installations and storage. 51 inspections


168


made and permits issued for Liquefied Petroleum Gas storage installa- tions. 12 inspections made and permits issued for oil burning water heaters and storage. Permits were also issued for the following :- Blasting 47, Alcohol (Anti-Freeze) 1, Tar Kettle 1, to store thinner 1, to remove gasoline tank 1.


Fire Stations. At the Central Station soil pipes in the basement were removed from overhead and placed underground to give greater head room. Cement blocks and fire doors to contain the heater in a separate room were purchased and the construction is going on at pres- ent writing. A new two inch water service was connected and is more satisfactory for filling booster tanks. At the Engine 2 Station new over- head doors were installed, the basement floor cemented and the base- ment walls pointed up. A minor hurricane occurred on September 11th which did considerable damage to the bell tower which had to be re- paired and reshingled.


Fire Alarm. The September 11 storm put three of the fire alarm cir- cuits out of commission, but thye were all back in service within 24 hours. Many tree insulators had to be replaced and re-set. Cable was pulled in the Woburn Street conduit from Bancroft Avenue to High Street and in the conduit on Sanborn and Lowell Streets from Woburn to Middlesex Avenue. Also from box 61 to the Municipal Building. The necessary tree trimming has been done. Fire alarm boxes 28, 38, and 63 were replaced with new boxes this year. 2 of the boxes replaced were purchased in 1887 and were the two original boxes of the system. Material shortages have been responsible for the new Fire Alarm Switchboard being delayed in delivery and it should be received early in 1951.


Recommendations. That the permanent force be increased. That the present Engine 2, a 400 gallon per minute pumper, purchased in 1926, be placed in reserve and a new 750 gallon per minute pumping engine purchased. That the 55 foot wood extension ladder now in use be replaced. That 1000 feet of 21/2 inch hose be purchased. That radios be installed on the apparatus. That new fire alarm boxes be purchased to replace some of the very old boxes now in service.


Conclusion. In conclusion I wish to thank your Honorable board for the co-operation received, the members of the department and the Auxiliary Fire Service for their efficient performance of duty. The Red Cross Motor Corps and Canteen for their response to fires and assistance, and other town departments and citizens who have co-operated and as- sisted this department.


Respectfully submitted,


HUGH L. EAMES


Chief of the Fire Department,


Forest Warden, and Superintendent of Fire Alarm

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen


Gentlemen:


I submit my report as Moth Superintendent for the year 1950.


The regular yearly check for the Gypsy Moth egg clusters showed no heavy infestation in any part of the town.


Dutch Elm disease has increased in the past year. The men took cuttings from thirty-four trees that appeared to have hte disease. Mr. John F. Sawyer, the secretary of the Dutch Elm Committee, forwarded these cuttings to the University of Massachusetts Shade Tree Laboratory at Amherst, to be cultured. Twenty-two of the trees were certified as having the Dutch Elm disease. These trees were removed and burned. None of these trees were on the roadside.


Elm trees should be sprayed twice and if possible three times each season. During 1950, the spraying on private property increased more than a third over 1949. If we are to continue this work on private prop- erty and give the Elms the proper care we should have one more spray- ing machine.


I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen, the men of this department and all others who have assisted me in the past year.


Respectfully yours,


MAURICE H. DONEGAN


Moth Superintendent


REPORT OF 4-H CLUB WORK


During 1951 there were five active 4-H Clubs in Reading, 3 sewing. and 2 agriculture. There were about 75 children who completed projects.


Our annual exhibition was held at the Pearl St. School the first Friday in May. All project work was exhibited. Fifty outfits were. modeled by the girls who made them. Awards were given out by Mr. George Erickson, county agent.


The third Saturday in May a bus was chartered by the Town Com- mittee to take the girls to County Girls Day at Concord. Many of our girls participated in the County Dress review. Several Blue Ribbons. were awarded to Reading girls at this time.


Several agricultural members exhibited at the Eastern States Ex- position and the Boston Poultry Show.


Fifteen members attended Camp Middlesex for one or more weeks. Two full Camperships and two part Camperships were awarded by the Town Committee.


The second Saturday in June a bus was chartered to take all 4-H members on a picnic to Camp Middlesex in Ashby, Mass. A full day of swimming and sports was enjoyed by all.

REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT


To the Board of Public Welfare:


As Welfare Agent and Director of Old Age Assistance I submit the following reports for the year 1950:


Our case load for the past year has shown a decided increase as will be seen from the following condensed tabulation:


Number of Cases


1949


1950


General Aid


55


70


Aid to Dependent Children


22


26


Old Age Assistance


266


291


171


With increased case load, and to some extent by additional fiscal data now required by the state department, we have been hard put to it to make the deadline on assistance pay rolls, reports, reimbursement claims, etc., on several occasions, more especially as we lost the service of two experienced clerical workers through resignation during the year. It is suggested that the Board gives some consideration to the employ- ment of third clerical worker, preferably one with stenographic ability, possibly on a part time basis.


The coming year is heavy with proposed legislation pertaining to public assistance matters. Before the legislature at present is House Bill 2054, which has to do with the establishment of a new category to be known as "Assistance to Persons who are Disabled." There would be federal participation under this proposal, with apparently some fin- ancial advantage to the cities and towns, as well as to the state. Also in committee is House Bill 2500, as proposed by the Recess Commission to revise the public welfare laws. As written, this bill would change the enitre reimbursement schedule, with gains for the towns in General Aid and in Aid to Dependent Children, but a substantial loss in Old Age Assistance. A superficial survey of our own situation indicates that we would break about even. House Bill 2500 is in confliction with the much discussed Referendum No. 3, under which the state would reimburse the towns in full for Old Age Assistance expenditures. We may be cer- tain that some major change will develop from the various proposals now being handled by the state legislature.


Becuase of increased case load and the constant rise in living costs, our net cost shows an increase over 1949 of about $9,700.00.


The actual percentage of reimbursement was slightly better than that of the previous year.


A condensed statement of expenditures and reimbursement is given below:


Expenditures for Assistance


General Aid


$ 40,027.35


Aid to Dependent Children 29,927.07


Old Age Assistance 189,910.89


$256,865.31


Total reimbursement


201,017.24


.... Net Cost $ 55,848.07


The report of the Town Account shows the usual schedule of de- partmental receipts and expenditures.
