The Health Department had a great many cases of scarlet fever reported during the first half of the past year. The type was so mild and of short duration that many cases were never recognized and re- ported. This type of contagious disease is more difficult to control than the severe form. There were also two cases of contagious disease in- volving the eyes of infants, which had to be treated at the Massachu- setts Eye and Ear Infirmary at the expense of the Health Department. In each case the child was saved from blindness, and the expense worth while, but it accounts for over two hundred dollars of our total appropriation.


The requirements under the heading of raising and distributing milk has increased our responsibilities and will become of major im- portance to the Health Department within a few years. The State De- partment has asked our board to immunize the children in our town against diphtheria, and I believe that this should be done the coming year. This procedure results in no harm whatever and will save our children from contracting this disease. I am going to ask the parents to consider this problem and be ready to sign our slips seeking their permission promptly, when they receive them.


Respectfully submitted,


HERBERT M. LARRABEE, M. D.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE


The number of persons upon the list of this board reached its height in the month of April and has been steadily decreasing since that date until at the present time it is 28.


This is owing to many causes of improvement in general business, The Civil Works Projects, improvement in the Textile and Boot and Shoe industries, being the most important.


As you can see by the financial report below the expenses have been the largest ever contracted by this Town in a year. The receipts have also been larger representing cost of out of Town Cases for which we have collected.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


As Park Commissioners, we submit the following:


The commons have been cared for in the usual manner. Owing to the poor condition of the lawns we intend to spread a large amount of fertilizer at intervals throughout the next summer.


The flag pole should be painted again this summer.


Shrubs supplied by the Garden Club have been planted for which we thank them. We recommend an allowance of $200.00 this year.


Respectfully submitted,


THOMAS C. McAUSLAND, HARRIS M. BRIGGS.


REPORT OF AGENT FOR SUPPRESSION OF GYPSY AND BROWN TAIL MOTHS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


As agent for the suppression of the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths I submit the following:


During the past year the same methods as formerly were used to suppress the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths.


Am glad to report the Brown Tail Moth is nearly extinct in this town. There is a large increase in Gypsy Moths. Men supplied by the C. W. A. are now scouting the entire town to destroy these pests. Thousands of egg clusters have been treated with cresote and except- ionally bad colonies have been found in the North and West sections. The East and South parts have not been checked as yet.


These bad places should be sprayed the coming summer. Consid- erable damage has been done to the Elms by the so-called Bag Worm. The Satin Moth has little damage and the Tent caterpillar as a genaral thing has been less plentiful. If the Gypsy Moth is to be kept in check our appropriation should be larger in 1934.


Yours respectfully,


HARRIS M. BRIGGS.

REPORT OF FISH AND GAME WARDEN


To The Honorable Board of Selectmen.


Gentlemen:


As Fish and Game Warden I submit the following:


During the year, eighty four complaints were investigated in our town. Four arrests were made for violations, and four convictions were received in the Lowell District Court. A total of three hundred and forty-six hours of patrol work was done in Tewksbury. During the summer, I assisted District Warden Crosby and men of the De- partment of Fisheries and Game, in salvage work at the pond owned by General Butler Ames, this work lasted five days. About sixty-four thousand fish were taken and put into ponds where fishing is per- mitted. These fish consisted of the following: Blue gills, horn pout, and calico bass. Brook trout were put in the following places: Two hundred and fifty in Trull brook, one thousand in Palm brook, and two thousand in the Shawsheen river. In September, I liberated one hun- dred pheasants which were received from the Department of Fisheries and Game. Other pheasants were liberated in Tewksbury by the Dis- trict Warden, also the Lowell Fish and Game Club. I think a men- tion should be made at this time, that the keeping of the Ames pond private, is without question a great benefit to the ones who like fishing for a sport.


Yours respectfully,


CYRIL L. BARKER. -

MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE


The following is a general report of the work carried on by the Middlesex County Extension Service in the town of Tewksbury for 1933.


In agriculture considerable interest was shown among the local farmers in improved practices in dairying, poultry, market gardening and fruit growing. A meeting of interest to fruit growers was held attended by 23 farmers. Information on spraying, culture and mar- keting of fruit was sent out to the local mailing list.


Parasites for the control of the Oriental fruit moth were re- leased in the town.


Local farmers were assisted in improved methods of growing alfalfa, the eradication of bovine tuberculosis, and milk marketing problems.


Homemakers in South Tewksbury and Tewksbury Center con- ducted a series of meetings with Mrs. Robert Wells and Mrs Fred Walsh as local leaders. An all-day clothing clinic was held at the town hall to assist women with remodeling and making of dresses and coats. 23 women made children's coats and hats under the leadership of Mrs. Roger Buck, Mrs. Joseph Aubut, Mrs. Jerry Houli- han, and Mrs. John Smith.


Seven 4-H Clubs of 61 boys and girls have carried on this last year with Mrs. Harry Dawson as 4-H chairman. The local leaders were Mrs. Bernard Greene, Miss Harriet King, Mrs. Belle Norris, Mrs. William Bolton, Mr. Leonard Mallard, and Mrs. Wilmer Strickwald.


The North Tewksbury clothing club sang songs as a part of a 4-H broadcast over WLEY.

REPORT OF HIGHWAY COMMISSIONERS AND SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS


Board of Selectmen, Tewksbury, Mass. Gentlemen:


The following is the annual report of the Highway Department, for the year ending December 31, 1933.


CHAPTER 81, AND GENERAL HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE


During the year the usual maintenance, consisting of sanding icy roads, proper snow removal, scraping, scarifying, reshaping, rolling, oiling, bituminous and gravel patching, and general patrol work was carried out on all town roads, and we have endeavored to give the very best in service.


Listed among the more important projects completed during the year, we call your attention to the following. South Street was gra- velled, graded, rolled and oiled, from the residence of Mr. P. J. O'Neill to Salem Road, and from State Street to the Wilmington line, a distance of over one mile. The same procedure was carried out on Maple Street from East Street to a point near the residence of Mr. Treadwell.


The new gravel on River Road, from the Andover line to Hood Road was graded, rolled, and oiled. This completes the entire road, a distance of 1.3 miles. Franklin Street which was accepted at the last annual town meeting, was graded, gravelled, and rolled the entire length, but it was too late in the season to apply oil. Rogers Street was also gravelled from Main Street to Pike Street and, like Franklin Street, could not be oiled because of weather conditions. Glendale Ave- nue in West Tewksbury was partially gravelled to take care of a mud condition, but will be completed early in the season. Work had been started on Brown Street, when the C. W. A. projects got under way, and considerable aid was realized on this street. It is now completed the entire length, about 9 tenths of a mile. It will be rolled and oiled during the warmer months. The gravelling on Heath Street has been completed at this writing, and Coolidge Street will be next in line. Whipple Road and South Street are also on the list of streets to be gravelled at an early date.


:


91


Among the various C. W. A. projects carried on in the town are several road jobs. Among these is the installation of a drainage sys- tem and catch basins on Andover Street; widening, which consists of removing embankments and ledge on Rogers Street from Whipple Road to Billerica Road; improving by cutting embankment, and straightening curves where possible on South Street from the terminal of gravel construction to the Andover line. On North Street consider- able ledge was removed last June, and when the C. W. A. became act- ive, work was resumed, and a sufficient amount of the big ledge has been cut back to insure safety at this point. Work has begun on Whip- ple Road from Patten Street to Chandler Street under the supervision of the C. W. A., and it is hoped that a considerable portion will be gra- velled in the near future. State and County aid is being sought on the stretch extending from Chandler Street to Pleasant Street, a hearing has been held, and an article appears in the annual Town Warrant.


Considerable ledge was also removed on Pleasant Street, and em- bankments were cut back on Chapman Street, and on Marston Street, from Chapman Street to Whipple Road.


The deck on the Mill Street bridge was repaired, and all planking which had become decayed was replaced. A drop inlet with a catch basin cover was constructed at the junction of Bailey and River Roads to eliminate a dangerous condition at this point. Practically all of the town line bound stones have been painted on one side with chrome yel- low to insure visibility. Standard guard rail posts were erected at va- rious danger spots where culvert headwalls were too close to the tra- velled way for safe driving.


The following culverts have been installed; Chandler Street near Lee Street (State Infirmary driveway) one, corrugated metal, coated with asphalt, 40 feet long, 10 inches in diameter. Cross Street, one, corrugated metal coated with asphalt, 36 feet long, 12 inches in dia- meter. North Street, (at Ames' driveway) corrugated metal, coated with asphalt, 40 feet long, 10 inches in diameter. A culvert on Fiske Street near the residence of Edward R. Penney was extended 12 feet with 10-inch corrugated metal pipe. A corrugated metal culvert 24 inches in diameter and 24 feet long is being installed under Rogers Street with C. W. A. funds. A culvert was also installed on East Street near the Andover line, details of which are shown in the paragraph pertaining to Chapter 90 work covering that job.


Guide signs erected on standard concrete posts were erected at the following points; Tewksbury Center, junction of Chandler and East Streets (2), junction of East and Maple Streets; and corner of South and State Streets. A standard sign on a wooden post was also erected at the corner of South and Brown Streets. The color scheme on. these signs is black letters on white background resembling very closely

those used by the Commonwealth on State Highways. The posts are painted chrome yellow which makes them stand out in sharp contrast against the green leaves of summer or white snow of winter. Markers were erected at all catch basins and drains so that in the event of deep snow they can be easily located and cleaned.


The following table shows the list of streets where oil, asphalt, or tar was applied, giving the number of gallons, and cubic yards of sand used on each. The sand delivered to the fire station was used in con- crete work. The number of gallons of oil, asphalt or tar is the total for the year. East Street for instance includes Chapter 90 Construc- tion, 1932-1933 and Maintenance.

In addition to the sand 108 cubic yards of pea gravel was used to produce a non-skid surface, and for mixing patch.


Over 16 tons of Tricomix (a special ready-mixed cold patch) was used in patching macadam roads.


Roads which were dusty were given an application of 45% As- phaltic Oil, and this operation was repeated late in the summer where it was required.


The following table shows the various streets gravelled, or gravel patched, and the number of cubic yards used on each.


The amount shown on East Street includes that which was used on the 1932 and 1933 Chapter 90 contracts, and on Andover Street the amount shown applies to the new construction.
