We deeply regret the loss of one of our members of the Board of Road Commissioners, Mr. Louis Berube. Though ill for many months Mr. Berube took keen interest in all matters pertaining to this depart- ment and was always in favor of everything that would benefit the town in any way.

CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE
The usual maintenance of Chapter 90 Highways was carried out again this year under the provisions of the contract. All of our Chapter 90 Streets are in good condition.
Andover Street was resurfaced from the residence of Mr. Sullivan to the junction of Hood Road. Approximately 154 tons of pea stone was used. 121 Tons of pea stone was used in resurfacing Woburn Street from the Tewksbury and Lowell line to the Billerica Line. We sed 645 tons of pea stone in repairing various sections on East Street.
For a financial report of this department, we refer you to the Auditor's report of Highway Expenditures.
In closing this report, our appreciation and thanks are extended to our Board of Selectmen, Finance Committee, State and County Officials and Engineers, for their cooperation and untiring assistance.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS P. SAWYER, CHESTER M. ROPER,
Road Commissioners of Tewksbury.
RICHARD F. O'NEILL,
Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TEWKSBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY
The trustees of the Tewksbury Public Library submit the following report.
Details of expenditures will be found in the report of the auditor.
Regular monthly meetings have been held with the exception of July and August.
The trustees regretted the necessity of having to accept the resignation of Robert Sloan, who had most satisfactorily filled the position of assistant librarian. He is now at the Great Lakes Naval Training Centre in Illinois.
It is hoped that the citizens of Tewksbury will support the growing interest in the proposed memorial to Veterans of All Wars, which, we trust will take the form of a new library to be erected as soon as conditions permit.
The trustees wish to thank the librarian, Miss Abbie Blaisdell and her assistants, Miss Blanche King and Stuart Murphy for their faithful and courteous service.
The trustees respectfully request that the article in the warrant asking for an appropriation of $1300 together with money received from the dog licenses be granted.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE BUREAU OF OLD AGE ASSISTANCE AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN
GENERAL RELIEF: Although the total number of persons and families aided this year was less than in 1943, the total expenditures were higher, principally because of the increased living costs.
No assistance has been granted unless a justifiable need existed and only in cases where employment was impossible, either because of age or illness. Emergency relief was also provided in two families because of temporary non-support by the head of the household.
The reduced 1944 appropriation of $6000 proved inadequate, and in October the Welfare Department was forced to ask for an additional $1000. Judging from the amount spent in November and December of 1943, it was thought safer to grant $1500 additional. This was figured in anticipation of end-of-the-year bills, but these did not come in as expected. Consequently, a large part of the extra appropriation was not used.
To avoid a recurrent shortage in 1943, however, it is believed wise to recommend an appropriation of $8000 for General Relief.
The following is a recapitulation of the families and persons aided by the Welfare Department for the year 1944:

OLD AGE ASSISTANCE: As this form of assistance has been on a budgetary basis since the revision of standards late in 1943, all payments for the year 1944 were somewhat higher than previously and
123
considerably in excess of Federal participation. Because of sickness among these aged recipients, the increase in the cost of medical care and hospitalization took up nearly all of the additional $1500 of the 1944 appropriation.
In all cases where it is possible, self-supporting children are continuing to contribute to the support of their dependent parents.
Because of the pending Legislative bill to lower the age of eligibility for Old Age Assistance from 65 to 60 years, it is felt by the Department that at least another $1000 will be needed for 1945, making a total appropriation of $19,500.
An average of 64 cases were given assistance in 1944.
AID TO DEPENDENT CHILDREN: At the beginning of 1944 we were aiding 10 families of 28 persons, but during the year the number was reduced to 9 families with 21 persons represented. Several of the children for whom this type of assistance was being given reached the age of 18 and became self-supporting.
The present high cost of living and the fact that the budgetary standards are now being applied to this category have increased the expenses of this relief program. It was found necessary to obtain an additional $500 to finish out the year. Using this as a basis, it is believed that an appropriation of $5000 will be sufficient for 1945.
The report of expenditures for the three departments will be found in the Auditor's Report. Reimbursements received are reported in the Treasurer's Report.

REPORT OF CIVILIAN DEFENSE COMMITTEE
To the Board of Selectmen, Tewksbury, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The organization is still on a call basis and according to the latest order from the Army should be kept on that basis-at least until the end of the war in Europe. The local centre is still covered by the telephone operators at the Infirmary and could become active in a very few minutes. The last time it was active was the night of the September hurricane.
I wish to extend my hearty thanks to the operators who have given me the greatest assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
EVERETT H. KING,
Chairman.

REPORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Chairman Greene and Members of the Tewksbury Board of Health:
As your agent I make the following report. This year has been a bit unusual. We have had more of dogbite cases than usual but have had no dogs reported as rabid. Our contagious cases have been few, but we have had two cases of Typhoid Fever. These required hospitalization for a long period. We have had two cases of Tuber- culosis. Miss Haines has served, as Board of Health nurse and has performed many of the duties previously cared for by the agent. From a financial standpoint this has been a decided saving. I am making the suggestion that the new school nurse, be given the same rating and compensation.

Agent.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen :
As Tree Warden, I submit the following:
Owing to shortage of labor, we were again unable to cut brush from wall to wall as was done prior to 1943. The edges of all streets were cut approximately 3 feet from the traveled way by horse mower. Most of the dangerous curves were cut by hand. Trees considered dangerous were removed as far as possible but many trees need pruning badly.
About 75 Rock Maple trees were planted on the streets and 200 small Maples were set in the rear of Highway Dept. buildings. They can be transplanted on our streets at some later date as they attain more size.
About 200 reflector buttons were installed on trees close to traveled way.
We are again returning quite a large unexpected balance, owing to labor shortage mentioned above. When help is available again we should have a larger appropriation but under present conditions, I suggest the same amount be appropriated as last year.
Yours respectfully,
HARRIS M. BRIGGS,
Tree Warden.

REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
As Agent for the suppression of Gypsy and Browntail moths and Tent Caterpillar Elm Tree Beetle, I submit the following:
Gypsy Moth conditions remain about the same as in 1943. A check of the woodlands is now under way. Several bad colonies have been found and booked for early summer spraying. Browntail Moths seem to be held under control by disease and parasites.
We had a bad out-break of Elm Tree Beetles but following two sprayings during their feeding season, very little defoliation was noticed.
My thanks again to the Highway Department for help given m' during the spraying season.
I would recommend the appropriation as of last year.
Yours respectfully,
HARRIS M. BRIGGS
130
REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:
As Park Commissioners, we submit the following:
The commons were raked, fertilizer applied and grass mowed.
The flag has been raised and lowered each day since the start of war. The flagpole received two coats of paint and all cracks were puttied. We feel it would be better to apply one coat of paint and fill all cracks each year.
The bandstand needs painting and repairing. Therefore, we suggest an appropriation of $350.00.
Yours respectfully,
THOMAS C. McAUSLAND WALTER ROBERTS HARRIS M. BRIGGS
