REPORT OF MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE


Middlesex County maintains an Extension Service in Agricul- ture and Home Economics for the benefit of all towns within the County. This service is available to all citizens, especially farmers, home gardeners, homemakers, rural youth and 4-H Club boys and girls:


The work is developed by an unpaid Board of Trustees who maintain a staff of agents at the headquarters at 19 Everett Street, Concord. The trustees appoint a director in each town to represent them in all phases of Extension Work or in a few cases towns elect a director and make an appropriation to help defray local expenses.


In addition to farm and home visits made upon request, local meetings are held or sectional or county-wide meetings or tours are helps available to everyone. A monthly bulletin is published, timely letters mailed on ,spraying, fertilizing, seeding, poultry problems, information to homemakers, boys' and girls' 4-H work or general community problems.


Some of the activities that took place last year in Tewksbury are as follows:


Educational work with the dairymen was concentrated on programs to assist the farmers in solving their problems or raising better roughage, disease control and milk marketing. A special seeding demonstration for dairymen was arranged at the Tewks- bury State Hospital during August. Tony Bernat was enrolled in the Green Pasture Program for dairymen. He completed the program and received an appropriate seal for the work done.


Increased efficiency, flock health, greater breeding progress, and better marketing practices and equipment were among the topics discussed at meetings of the Eastern Middlesex County Poultry Association, held at the Northern Residents' Association Hall, Reading, on the first Tuesday of the month. Prisco Coviello, Ernest J. Salemi, Stephen L. Smith are enrolled in the Middlesex Flock Health Program, through which the Extension Service is attempting to help poultrymen and turkey growers to keep their flocks healthy. Rabbit breeders were given assistance through the Middlesex Commercial Rabbit Association, which meets monthly at the Extension Service in Concord.


Mrs. M. D. Buchanan was the Tewksbury representative for the Women's Advisory Council. During the year local women attended the three-series meeting on "New Ideas in Food Prepara- tion." P.T.A. representatives from Tewksbury attended a study group on the subject, "Your School Child," conducted by Mrs. N. May Larson, Extension specialist in child development and family life. Christmas brought requests for the Christmas Gift Kit, a collection of easy-to-make items that make popular Christmas gifts.


73


Concentrated effort in Tewksbury brought fourth a great in- terest in 4-H. A clothing club was organized in April and fulfilled a year's requirements in eight weeks' time, and held an exhibit in June. Boys and girls were enrolled in agricultural projects on garden, poultry, rabbits and wildlife. A town committee was organized and will work to further club work in the future. Mr Clifford Greeno is the newly elected town chairman, and Mr. Lawrence Love and Mrs. Dorothy Peters were active leaders during the past year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE TEWKSBURY PUBLIC LIBRARY


The Trustees of the Library submit the following report:


Details of expenditures will be found in the report of the Auditor.


Attention is called to the librarians report which follows:


Nine regular and one special meetings were held.


In the spring new book shelves were added and installed through the cooperation of Mr. Lough, Manual Training teacher at the High School.


It was with regret that three resignations were accepted.


Mrs. Mary Marshall resigned after serving six years as assist- ant librarian and Mrs. Herbert Carlson was appointed to fill the position.


David Anderson resigned as assistant librarian to accept another position and his place was filled by Warren Carey, a high school student.


Mrs. Nancy Rigsmuth resigned as trustee and moved with her husband, Rev. Nelson Ringsmuth, to Hyannis. Harry Priestley, a former library trustee, was appointed to fill the unexpired term.


The trustees take this opportunity to commend the work of Mrs. Abbie Dempsey, who continues to carry out the duties of librarian most faithfully.


It is hoped that the request for $1300 found in the warrant, together with money recived from dog licenses, be granted.

REPORT OF APPEALS BOARD


During the past year the Board of Appeals considered (8) requests for variance from Zoning By-Laws. Of this number they granted variance in (7) cases and denied (1).


The Board has met in all (15) times to advise residents on various problems pertaining to Zoning By-Laws. A great many telephone calls on Zoning By-Laws were answered. Many requests for information are for establishing of small businesses. The present Zoning By-Law prevents this in the greater part of Tewksbury.


The Board again recommends small local business districts be established, in various parts of the town.


The Board feels that Town water will stimulate building in the town and recommends the adoption of a Building Code.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN J. COONEY, Chairman HAROLD J. HANSON DANA F. PERKINS

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


The Board of Health elected Gilbert French Chairman at its organizational meetings.


The Board advertized for bids for the collection of garbage and waste and awarded the contract to Mr. Murphy.


During the year an application was made for the approval of a trailer park and a license was granted after a public hearing.


Many complaints were brought to the attention of the Board concerning improper sewage and other nuisances. In each case an investigation was made and when necessary, corrective or pre- ventative measures were taken.


Water testing requests were high and when the situation warranted the state engineers were notified.


Five persons were admitted to the Middlesex County Sana- torium and for the last year bills for same were paid from the Boards appropriation. Effective January 1, 1952, it appears as if the above costs will be allocated on a district or county basis due to a change in the law.


Several meetings were held during the year to discuss Chap. 662 of the Acts of 1949 which require that towns of less than 35,000 population become members of Union Health Districts on or before November 10, 1959 unless they are providing minimum health service as defined by the Public Health Council. The services required as yet are in the planning stages but indications are that they will be extensive and too costly for a Town our size to carry out by itself.


Respectfully submitted,


GILBERT FRENCH


Chairman

SELECTMEN'S REPORT


To the Voters of Tewksbury:


The Board met 54 times during the year from March 3rd to December 27th in a 36 week period.


The year 1951 brought about many changes in our Town.


In March we held a special Town Meeting to accept a special act of the legislature to provide the borrowing of money to install a water system. The action taken at the Town Meeting was-con- tested by a group of citizens and in order to clarify the situation another Special Town Meeting was held and it was voted to continue with the same decisions as was reached at the first meeting. The delay in awarding the contracts and the change in the bond market due to government regulations cost the Town in the neighborhood of $116,000 dollars over the thirty year period.


Under the supervision of our Civil Defense Director, George McDermott, the Selectmen approved a Civil Defense plan submitted by the Director and this plan is progressing very satisfactorily.


We held several meetings in connection with the issuing of bonds for the water project with bank officials and other Town officers and we unanimously voted to employ the First National Bank of Boston as our agent to handle the details. From then on the Board of Selectmen and the Treasurer took the advice of the First National Bank in the issuing and sale of the bond issue.


In May at a conference with the Police Chief, it was decided that two permanent officers be employed and a schedule be put into effect which would give the Town Police coverage 24 hours a day. This was put into effect and has worked out quite satisfactorily and we believe we can maintain this service for less than $24,000.00 annually under the present system.


Through the efforts of the Board of Selectmen and the Town Treasurer we have sold Town owned property for a total of $2,141:08 which previously produced no revenue for the Town and which is now classified as taxable property.


The Board met with telephone officials on five different occa- sions and the machinery was put into motion to give the South Tewksbury section of our Town a better telephone service and effect a considerable savings to them in toll charges.


During the year we sent letters to all department heads re- questing an inventory of all Town property under their care. In case of a serious fire this information would be invaluable on set- ting insurance claims. Most departments complied willingly and we have that information on file in case it is needed.


85


We received a report from the American Automobile Assn. on the National Pedestrian Protection Contest. This report places our Town in a very bad light on things that could be done and should be done to improve our accident record.


Of 481 Towns reporting in the under 10,000 population class, Tewksbury was 416th.


The average percentage score was 55 percent, Tewksbury score was 36 percent.


On the death and injury record Tewksbury ranked 388th among the 481 competing.


On the accident record Tewksbury ranked 364th among the 481 competing.


On the engineering record Tewksbury ranked 405th among the 481 competing.


On the organization record Tewksbury had no record.


On the school safety record Tewksbury ranked 462nd among 481 competing.


On the public information record Tewksbury ranked 326th among 481.


The Selectmen feel that with full cooperation of the Police Department, School Department, Fire Department, Highway De- partment, and the general public that a program could be formu- lated and put into effect which would improve this record considerably.


In regards to our action before the Civil Service Commission with the Chief of Police the following is a brief review of what took place.


The Board requested the Chief of Police to furnish them with an inventory of the property belonging to the Police Department. We requested that he furnish the Board weekly reports of the activity of the department. Also that he make up a vacation schedule of the regular men and submit it to the Board for approval.


We believe that all of these requests were constructive in developing a better Police Department in the interests of the Town, and should have been promptly attended to by the Chief. They were ignored and then we called the Chief to a public hearing so that he could explain why he had not complied with our re- quests, and why he should not be reprimanded. At the hearing the Chief gave us no satisfactory reasons why he had not complied with our requests. Therefore, we ordered his suspension for a period of four weeks.


The Chief appealed to the Civil Service Commission for a hearing which was granted to him and we were duly notified as to the time and place it was to be held.


86


However when both parties appeared before the Civil Service Commission we were told that because we had not notified the Commission of our action they would rule against us regardless of what was brought out at the hearing. It was not a question as to whether we were right or wrong. We did not believe then and do not believe now that the ruling we received was a just one, but rather than appeal to the courts we agreed to drop the case.


Before dismissing the interested parties in the case, the Com- missioner in charge advised us to prepare a Police Manual and also advised us that the Chief of Police would have to abide by this Manual.


He then called the Chief to the bench and told him definitely that he should cooperate with the Selectmen and that if he didn't they could suspend him on violation of rules and that he could appeal to the Civil Service Commission but said quote, "I wouldn't advise you to do it," end quote.


A Police Manual has been revised and put into effect as of December 15th, 1951. We ,believe that it is for the best interests of the Town and we expect to see it lived up to.

REPORT OF STADIUM COMMISSIONERS


To the Board of Selectmen:


Town of Tewksbury, Mass.


The following is the report of the Stadium Commissioners for the year ending December 31, 1951.


During the past summer, the grass was mowed regularly. The football field was loamed and seeded. Bare spots and holes were filled in and fertilized and seeded. Football bleachers were painted, also the floors of the field house. The field house was cleaned and washed regularly. There was a new cement block chimney built at the field house. Also repairs on ceptic tank. Under the football bleachers the doorway had to be widened to get the power mower in, and the baseball bleachers were repaired.
