REPORT OF APPEALS BOARD
To the Board of Selectmen Town of Tewksbury, Mass.
Gentlemen:
During the past year a total of twelve hearings were held by the board. Eight permits were granted.
Persons contemplating the purchase of homes or building lots have frequently interviewed the board members regarding Zoning By-Laws, and also inquired about building permits.
The board feels it is hard to work Zoning By-Laws without a code of Building Laws and recommends such a code be adopted by the town.
Zoning may be said to be an agreement by the citizens of a town to forego certain individual privileges for the good of the community as a whole. The board has worked toward that aim.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN J. COONEY, Chairman HAROLD J. HANSON DANA F. PERKINS

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
To the Trustees of the Tewksbury Public Library:
The following report is respectfully submitted:
During the year seven hundred twenty-one books were added, four hundred fifty-one adult fiction, one hundred ninety adult non fiction, sixty-five juvenile fiction and fifteen juvenile non fiction.
Deposits of books are being sent to some of the schools, on request and other lots are being taken out by teachers for use by their pupils.
During the year new shelves were put in the children's room and a section was added for the new adult books.
Many of the books not fit for use have been discarded. This and the new shelves have done much to relieve the over-crowded condition at the Library.
Plastic covers are being put on all the new books. This not only protects the books but adds much to their attractiveness.
Mrs. Harry C. Dawson has again renewed the subscription to the Wee Wisdom magazine, which is very popular with the little ones.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. Dawson have presented a copy of the book, The Grange-Friend of the Farmer, 1867-1947, by Charles M. Gardner.
We gratefully acknowledge these gifts.
The report of the circulation of books and magazines will be found later in this report.
The librarian and assistants wish to thank all patrons who have returned their books and magazines promptly and to urge others to return all books and magazines now over-due.

REPORT OF THE TREE AND MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
As Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent I submit the following:
Brush was cut on all streets and all curves were cut far enough back to insure an unobstructed view of at least two hundred feet. Owing to another severe drought most of the brush had to be hauled to the dump to be burned. Experiments made in 1947 with 24D to kill brush proved unsuccessful. Further ex- periments were made this year and results will be known when vegetation starts in the spring.
24D was again applied to all poison ivy with very good results. Through experiments we have found a great deal depends upon the temperature and humidity. We have found 24D should not be applied unless the temperature exceeds 70 with bright sunshine, in other words the higher the temperature the better the kill.
Forty-six dead or dangerous trees were removed this year. About 500 reflector buttons were installed in trees and poles bordering the highways. We feel that this has been very helpful to motorists in night driving, especially in snowy and foggy weather. We have experienced considerable difficulty in keeping the buttons in the trees as they are removed by children, in fact on some streets the buttons are removed as fast as we put them in. Through the kindness of Roland Gray and Winfield Sturtevant, seedling maple and ash were given to the town. These trees were planted on the following streets: Erlin Ave., 20 ash, 1 red oak, 6 maple, 1 birch; Nelson Ave., 8 ash, 2 Maple; Helvetia St., 5 ash, 1 maple; James St., 7 ash; Chandler St., 7 ash, 6 Maple; Munroe Circle, 6 maple; Clark Rd., 4 maple; Dewey St., 6 maple; Town Hall Ave., 4 maple; Marshall, 2 ash, 4 maple; a total of 102. During the dought these trees were watered three times and fed with nitrate of soda and 7-7-7. Most of the overhanging limbs on the streets have been cut to a height of 14 feet. We are removing all wild cherry as they are ideal food for moth pests.
Under a separate article we are asking for a power chain saw, which we feel is much needed by this department.
All elm trees were sprayed twice during the feeding season to suppress the Elm Tree Beetle with good results. All other trees were sprayed to suppress Gypsy Moth and other leaf feeding insects. Owing to the fact that the Fall Web Worm hatches come in August, the above sprays did not carry through so another application of DDT was applied to suppress these pests.
46
Many specimens were taken from sickly elm trees and sent to the University of Massachusetts for analysis. We are sorry to report that one Elm was found to have Dutch Elm Disease, which has been removed and destroyed. The Dutch Elm disease is caused by a fungus which lives in the sap wood of the elm. The disease is spread from tree to tree by an insect known as the European Bark Beetle, which carries the seed or parts of the fungus from diseased to healthy trees, where the beetle feeds, thus infecting them. To control this disease these beetles must be controlled by spraying. The symptoms to note are wilted, discolored leaves and dead spikes in the tops of the trees. I can't stress too strongly the importance of notifying this department of trees showing these symptoms. Elm trees that we found in a weak condition were fed with nitrate of soda and 7-7-7. The loss of our beautiful Elms are certainly something to consider and the cost of removal would be a tremendous expense. For example the city of Springfield spent ten thousand dollars in 1948 for the removal of 142 infected trees; this is an average cost of seventy dollars per tree. This year Springfield has 354 trees infected with the disease.
The fungus disease has practically exterminated the Brown Tail Moth.
The Gypsy Moth is kept under control by the liberation of parasites and spraying. The woodlands are scouted to locate bad infestations where early spraying will be done and parasites will be distributed if necessary.
Respectfully submitted, HARRIS M. BRIGGS
Tree Warden and Moth Supervisor

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board has held weekly meetings. Other long established Planning Boards were consulted for guidance on organization and objections and much valuable information was gained. Mr. John W. Dodge resigned because of removal from the town and Ralph O. Sanford was elected by the selectmen and remaining members of the Planning Board in accordance with the law, to fill the vacancy. Some basic survey work was done and basic maps of the Town made and acquired for the use of the Board. Hearings were held on all applications for sub-divisions of land and non-conforming uses.
A complete new Zoning By-Law was drawn up for presentation at the annual Town Meeting in accordance with Article XXIV along with a simplified Code of Building Laws requested under Article XLVII of 1948.
Considerable time and study was made of the possible avail- ability of Metropolitan District Commission water as a source for a Town water system as outlined in report under Article LVI.
After a year of work, this Board feels that an active and interested Planning Board can be of considerable value to the Town and will welcome all suggestions and criticisms from residents of the Town relative to long term planning, of improve- ments and betterments for the Town.
THE PLANNING BOARD
Branford S. Brennon, Secretary
48
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD ON ARTICLE LVI OF THE TOWN MEETING OF FEBRUARY 18, 1949
The Planning Board contacted the Metropolitan District Com- mission and were advised that no permissive action by the General Court is necessary to enable the Town of Tewksbury to be fur- nished water by the Metropolitan District Commission if such water becomes available as such permission is already granted under Chapter 605 of the Legislative Acts of 1949. The Planning Board also attended hearings and obtained further information as to possibility and probable dates of the availability of Metropolitan District Commission water for the Town. Metropolitan District Commission water will not be available in or near Tewksbury unless the City of Lowell accepts the proposals of the Metropolitan District Commission relative to the purchase of water from that system as the Metropolitan District Commission will not extend its facilities into any new area without a guarantee of 100,000 users. The Planning Board recommends that no further action be taken by the Town relative to the establishment of a Town Water System until a decision is reached by the City of Lowell or the year 1951 whichever is the earlier. The Planning Board recognizes the seriousness of the water situation in the Town but from infor- mation gained in this study, the Board believes that the Metropoli- tan District Commission would be the best possible source of water for the Town if its facilities are extended into this district. Present information indicates that a reservoir will probably be established in Chelmsford to serve the City of Lowell and that the same reservoir could adequately serve the Towns of Tewksbury and Billerica direct. Since this system would eliminate the need for a separate well field and pumping facilities and maintenance expense of such an installation, the Board feels that the best interests of the Town will be served by postponing definite action as recommended above.

REPORT OF THE MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE FOR THE TOWN OF TEWKSBURY, 1949
The dairy projects carried on during 1949 consisted of distri- bution of information relating to mastitis control in dairy cows. The 1949 Green Pasture Program, in which Arthur Boisvert, Mrs. Helena Bernat, Victor Cluff, Karl Heidenrich, Robert Lacy and Odina Martel cooperated, endeavored to promote more efficient dairying. Cooperation was extended to the Dairy Herd Improve- ment Association, whose members include Harold Carlson, and to the Selective Breeding Association. £ The Selective Breeding Association is organized to improve our dairy animals by the use of superior bulls through artificial insemination. General farmers and gardeners used the facilities of our soil testing laboratory.
Poultry projects conducted during the year included the Quality Egg Program, in which Anderson Brothers and Gerard Lefebvre cooperated. Through this program poultrymen are as- sisted in improving their egg handling facilities and practices. Several poultrymen made use of the diagnostic services of the Poultry Disease Program in maintaining flock health during the year. The 1949 Middlesex County Poultry Trade Show held in cooperation with the turkey and poultry associations of the county gave poultrymen an opportunity to see the latest in egg graders, automatic feeders and other equipment. Egg quality and efficient management were the themes of the event.
Weekly agricultural broadcasts are given over WBZ every Wednesday morning at 6:45 of general interest to local farmers. The monthly bulletin is published covering all phases of extension work and mailed to nearly every farmer in the town.
There were 21 4-H Club members in Tewksbury with clubs organized in clothing, woodworking and leathercraft. Kenneth Greeno was a delegate to the 4-H State Junior Leaders' Camp in Amherst. The boys' handicraft clubs combined with Wilmington for their 4-H exhibit.
A group of Tewksbury women organized by Mrs. M. D. Buchanan, town leader, attended the series of three meetings on Slick Tricks in House Care presented by the Middlesex County Extension Service. This program included suggestion on new and easy ways to keep home furnishings attractive and in good condi- tion. A food preservation booth was set up by the home agent at the Tewksbury Town Fair. Inquiries on canning and freezing problems were answered, pressure gauges tested, and food preser- vation literature distributed. Monthly service letters sent to many
50
Tewksbury homemakers. Also many are reached through replies to individual phone and mail inquiries on homemaking problems.
The work of the Middlesex County Extension Service is available to everyone interested in agriculture, home economics and boys' and girls' 4-H Club work.

REPORT OF THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT
Administration
During the past year there has been an increased demand on the staff because of changes in the standards for administration of public assistance. Handbook No. 2 published by the Department of Public Welfare in June of 1949 set up standards to establish within reasonable and controllable ranges the number of workers required to properly and efficiently carry out the administration of public assistance. This board is at present undergoing a study to determine just what additions, if any, should be made to the present staff to insure that monies alloted to the three categories, O.A.A., A.DC. or G.R., will be disbursed to recipients in such a manner that it will adequately meet these needs and at the same time be controlled so that waste does not exist. The board recognizes the fact that the need might exist for additional help but as yet it has not had sufficient time to determine just what type of help would best serve the interest of the town.
General Relief
Total expenditures under this category for the year 1949 was $16,998.08. This figure is higher than any other for this program in the last ten years. The most significant observation that can be noted from the relief rolls is the number of able bodied men that have applied. It is hoped that this is not a trend. However it might be wise for the board to do some planning with other departments in the town to establish work programs for these able bodied men who might apply for relief.
Old Age Assistance
At the close of the year there were 100 recipients under this category. This is the highest figure in the history of the program. It should be brought out that this program is controlled by Federal and State statutes, rules and regulations. It is the duty of the Board to put these regulations into effect and to see that they are complied with. It is also the duty of the board to see that this program is administered properly.
Aid to Dependent Children
Under this program there were 20 cases at the end of the year. The same type of administration exists under AID TO DEPEN- DENT CHILDREN as mentioned under OLD AGE ASSISTANCE.
A complete report on amounts expended, amounts appro- priated and amounts reimbursed by the State and other cities and towns will be found in the auditor's report.

REPORT OF THE BUILDING COMMITTEE
January 12, 1950
Board of Selectmen,

There are still small items, which we are in the process of com- pleting, but all of the major work has been done and paid for, and there are ample funds to finish the building.
