It has been a privilege to serve the Towns People as their Tax Collector for the past six months and I will welcome the oppor- unity to be of service to them in the future.


I also wish to express my gratitude to the several Department Heads and especially to Postmaster William Houlihan, the former Tax Collector, for the excellent cooperation given during my in- doctrination as your Collector.


Respectfully submitted,

Of Brush and Grass fires and miscellaneous, there was an increase of 71.


In Homes and Buildings there were 7 less.


Through the courtesy of Francis Kelleher, Chief of the Lowell Fire Dept., we had a Second Course of "Training Classes for Fire- men." The lessons are as follows:


1. Care and Maintenance of Apparatus, Hose and Playpipes.


2. Fire Dept. Hydraulics.


3. Tools and Appliances, E and J. Apparatus.


4. Hydrant Operations, 21/2" and 11/2" lines.


5. Extinguishers, Gas Masks, Uses of Rope.


6. Pumpers in relay, Single Pumper Limits.


7. Extinguishers, Types of Fires.


8. Pumpers at Draft and in Relay.


9. Pumpers at Draft, Strongwater Brook.


10. Pumpers at Draft and in Relay.


Chief John Thomas was the instructor. This course was pos-


50


sible through the Dept. of Education, Division of Vocational Training.


I am now taking a 15-week course on Fire Prevention at M.I.T.


Once a month I attend the Mass. Drill Masters and Instructors School at Brookline.


The same with the Mass. Fire Chiefs Club. Their meetings are all over the State.


In the near future I expect to belong to the New England Fire Chiefs Club.


When possible, I attend the Fire Wardens' meeting once a month. At the present I am unable to attend as this meeting is on Thursday evenings. My classes are also on that night at M.I.T. in Fire Prevention laws.


The above four places are very important. This is where all the Big Fires are re-fought and laws are brought up.


The Department has repaired, fenced or re-roaded 4 old Fire Holes.


These are located as follows: South St., Main St., in the Centre, Marshall St., and Old Boston Rd.


The new Fire Truck is already registered. It should be already by the time of the Annual Town Meeting or shortly thereafter.


I wish to thank you selectmen and citizens that made this possible. Also Mr. Walter Wilson, Jr., and Mr. John Gleason, members of the committee.


This truck today would cost $14,000. As you know, it was purchased for $9,500.


We have purchased boots, ladders, extinguishers, water inter- gents and rust killer for the men and trucks.


The Pump on No. 5 Engine has been changed. This will mean that the three 500 G.P.M. Pumpers in the Central Station will all operate the same way. A man can run any of these three pumps with one lesson.


I wish to thank the citizens of Tewksbury, also the Officers and men in the Dept. for their wonderful cooperation and spirit in responding to alarms, and making the Dept. what it is.


May I also thank you, the selectmen, for your actions.


I hope to serve again and will always endeavor to make progress in the Fire Dept.


Respectfully submitted, ANTHONY OBDENS


Chief of Fire Department

Town of Tewksbury, Mass.


Gentlemen:


The following is our report for the year ending December 31, 1950.


During the past summer the grass was mowed regularly. The track was resurfaced with gravel and rolled. The fieldhouse was painted inside. Mr. Frank Sherlock was custodian of the buildings and grounds this past year and he did a wonderful job at keeping the place clean. The toilets and showers were washed daily.


Clay was placed on the baseball diamond, and loam on the football field. There was a ton and one-half of fertilizer spread on the field. There still is a lot to be done on the football field. Also on the baseball bleachers.

REPORT OF THE WELFARE DEPARTMENT 1950


Administration


During the past year the increased number of applicants made it necessary to extend the office hours per week from 35 hours to forty hours.


An attempt has been made to familiarize applicants with the many community resources. By utilizing these resources to the utmost we feel that the general welfare of the town can be im- proved with no additional cost to the town. In line with this we acknowledge the cooperation given to us by the private agencies in the City of Lowell, the District Health office in Wakefield and our local department heads.


General Relief


There are no able bodied men on the welfare list at the present time.


The majority of cases are older persons who are ineligible for Old Age Assistance. The remainder are individuals who because of mental or physical conditions are unemployable. An increase in the expenditure is anticipated because of the increase in the number of recipients.


Bureau of Aid to Dependent Children


During the year of 1950, $27,986.53 was expended under this category. Of this amount the Federal share was $9087.09 and the State share was $9332.18. The remainder, $9,567.26, represents the actual cost to the town for this category.

These averages are the cost per family and are not as in O.A.A., tne cost per individual.


Bureau of Old Age Assistance


During the year of 1950 a total of $78,787.29 was expended under this category. Of this amount the Federal share was $33,697.87 and the State's share was $33,756.47, the remainder or, $11,433.55 repre- sents the actual cost to the town for Old Age Assistance aid .


At the present time the case load on O.A.A. is 108. Of this number 13 have no settlement and 22 are settled in other cities and towns. There is no actual cost to the town for aid for these recipients who have no settlement or who have settlement in other cities and towns. We pay for these cases but receive full reim- bursement on them.


Of the $78,787.29 spent during 1950 the Federal share is or will be returned to a special account and can be used by the department for O.A.A. However the reimbursement from the State as their share and reimbursement from other cities and towns goes into the General Treasury and cannot be reused by this department.


During the past year six cases were transferred from other cities and towns to Boarding Homes in town and it is possible that a greater number will be transferred into town during the coming year. This will increase the amount expended greatly but as most transfers have no settlement or are settled in other cities and towns, there should be no increase because of these transfers in the actual cost to the town.


In May of 1950 the Bureau of Research & Statistics released the Mass. Welfare Publication and the following statistics are taken from Volume 7, No's 12345678. The statistics deal with the average cost per case on O.A.A.

These amounts have no particular significance because they vary as the different laws change but the relationship between the figures does give us some information. During the first half of the year the town was well above the state average but after May it went down to about normal and at present is below normal. This would appear to indicate, and is borne out in fact, that because of additional personell in the department, more time is available to explore undetermined resources.


59


The department has no control over eligibility factors as they are set up by statute so they cannot influence the number of eligible recipients. But the department can by rigid investigation of re- sources maintain the average cost per case at a minimum. When it is taken into consideration that 18 per cent of the recipients are in nursing or boarding homes, which is the most expensive form of assistance, Tewksbury is fortunate in having an average per case less than both the State and District averages.


In the coming year many changes can be expected in the Old Age Assistance Program. What they will be cannot be determined at the present time. At the last election the voters, by a great majority, favored an increase in the minimum payments, the doing away with the eligibility requirements of citizenship, the reduction in the age requirement in certain cases to sixty-three, and the relief of certain liable relatives from support of their needy parents. If all of these go into effect in June the rolls of the O.A.A. will swell both in number and in dollars and no doubt a special Town Meeting will have to be called to insure payment.

REPORT OF THE TREE AND MOTH DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Tewksbury, Mass.


Gentlemen:


As Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent I submit the following:


Brush was cut on all streets and all curves were cut back far enough to insure an unobstructed view of at least two hundred feet. Due to a very dry fall most of the brush had to be hauled to the dump and burned.


Eighty-six dead or dangerous trees were removed during the year. On November twenty-fifth a severe wind storm blew down thirty-three trees, twenty-two of which were pine. Trees were planted on the following streets. White Maple: Hillcrest Rd. 34; Clark Rd. 2; Pine St. 2; East St. 3; South St., east end, 19. Rock Maple: Muroe Circle 3; Earlin Ave. 3; Chandler St. 17; Summer St. 2; Livingston St. 2; Nelson Ave. 4; North St., north end, 17; Marshall St. 13; Pleasant St. 1; Town Hall Ave. 2; Maple St. 5;


60


North St. Extension 1; Dewey St. 2; Fiske St. 1; Trull St. 1. Weeping Willows: Whipple Rd. 1; Munroe Circle 1. Ash: South St., east end, 3; Pike St. 1; Shawsheen St. 8. This makes a total of 151 trees planted on the streets this year. These trees were donated by Mr. Elias Devies, Mr. Winfield Sturtevant and Mrs. Brooks Stevens. Through the kindness of Mr. J. Robert Lacy, seventy-five rock maple seedlings were set out on his property, these trees can be later transplanted to the streets. Due to the severe drought these trees were all watered with the power sprayer. Considerable progress has been made in the removal of wild cherry from the streets. Low limbs interfering with the traveled way are being removed. About 150 trees were pruned this year, more of this work should be done especially the elms.


The drought during the summer caused many of the trees to mature much earlier than usual, this condition caused the leaves on the elms to curl, discolor and fall. These are three important symptoms to look for in Dutch Elm Disease, therefore not many specimens were taken. All elm trees were sprayed twice during the feeding season to supress the Elm Tree Beetle with good re- sults. All other trees were sprayed to suppress Gypsy Moth and other leaf feeding insects.


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 suppressed by spraying. Two sprayings of DDT were applied during the feeding season.


Spraying and the liberation of parasites was done to control the Gypsy Moth. A slight increase has been noted in the number of Gypsy Moths. A late August spraying held the Fall Web Worm in check.


All Poison Ivy on the streets was sprayed with 24D with good results.


Under a separate article we are asking for a ten per cent increase in pay for these departments.


Respectfully submitted,


Tree Warden and Moth Supervisor

REPORT OF THE VETERANS' BENEFITS DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:


The department of Veterans' Services respectfully submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1950.


There has been a considerable increase in the number of appli- cants for Veterans' Benefits during the year 1950, and the trend is likely to increase during the coming year. The reason for this is due to a change in the law which allows eligibility to exist for members of the armed forces in the present conflict and their dependents.


Because of the increased number of cases and the increased number of service calls that have to be taken care of and in light of the fact that present conditions indicate that these will increase in the coming year, I do not feel that I can give to the Veterans the services to which they are entitled to by law in the limited time that is available. For this reason I am submitting a resignation effective when a replacement is available.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN F. WHITEHOUSE
