TEWKSBURY ADVISORY AIRPORT COMMISSION
Pursuant to Article 85 on the warrant for the 1962 annual town meeting an "Advisory Airport Commission," consisting of three members, was established. Named to this commission were Mr. Richard J. Sherman, Mr. Leonard Anderson, and Mr. Alan S. Hunter, Chairman.
The course of action adopted by this Commission was the following:
1. Establish the need for a Municipal Airport
a. Projected Utilization
b. Size of Aircraft which would use facilities
c. Projected annual increase in traffic volume
2. Airport Planning
a. Financial Considerations
b. General runway layout
c. Inter-Action of Bedford and Lawrence facilities with proposed Tewksbury facilities
3. Submission of final report and recommendation to the town. Relative to Item 1 letters were sent to the larger industrial firms in the area to determine their possible utilization. They were requested to answer the follow- ing questions:
1. Do you operate a company plane?
2. If so, what type (make, model)?
3. How many take-offs and landings were performed in the past year with this aircraft (at its home base)?
4. What would you predict for (3) five years from now?
The replies to these questionaires were generally disheartening insofar as a municipal airport for Tewksbury is concerned Most of the companies answering indicated that they did not own and operate a company airplane. Those who said that they did not have company aircraft also indicated that they would not expect to employ company aircraft in their business within the next five years.
With regard to item 2, the Federal Airport Act (60 Stat. 170, as amended) authorizes the Federal Aviation Agency to administer a grant-in-aid program to assist public agencies in the development of a nationwide system of public airports "adequate to meet the needs of civil aviation". This program is generally known as the Federal-Aid Airport Program Financial assistance under this program is available only to public agencies such as states, counties,
69
municipalities and other political subdivisions and agencies. Fed- eral grants under the Act are on a matching fund basis with the Federal Government generally providing 50 percent of the cost of the airport development, and the local public agency the other 50 percent. Part 550 of the FAA Administrator's Regulations sets forth FAA programming policies and standards in administering the provisions of the Federal Airport Act.
Additional matching funds in the order of 25 percent, are available from the State of Massachusetts. The cost to the Town of Tewksbury for the establishment of a municipal airport will amount to 25 percent of the total sum. Massachusetts General Laws pertaining to airport establishment and operation are as follows:
1. Approach regulations (C90; SS40A to 40F)
2. Lease by Airport Commission for a period more than 20 years (C90; SS51F)
3. Joint appropriation with other towns (C90; SS51D, 51G, and 51N)
4. Regulations pertaining to the establishment and main- tainance of an airport (C90; SS51D, 51F, 51G, and 51N)
If however, a community desires to develop an airport without the use of Federal Funds, such action is provided for by the pro- visions of Part 625 of the Regulations of the FAA Administrator. Part 625 is based upon provisions of Section 309 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (72 Stat. 751) Part 625 sets forth require- ments in respect to giving reasonable prior notice to the FAA Administrator about the proposed establishment of a landing area. These requirements enable the FAA to advise as to the effects of such action on the use of airspace by aircraft. Notice under pro- visions of Part 625 should be given to the FAA District Airport Engineer.
Part 550 and Part 625 of the FAA Administrator's Regulations are published in Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations which also contain all other FAA regulations pertaining to civil aviation.
The forms referred to in the above paragraphs have been obtained and have been submitted to the Board of Selectmen along with this report.
Consultation with the Chief Inspector for the Mass. Aeronautics Commission has indicated that the present Tewksbury airport is the best of several possible locations in the town. The above loca- tion will permit a main runway length of up to approximately 3500 feet with the possibility of a shorter cross runway.
The current Tewksbury airport's proximity to both the Greater
70
Lawrence Municipal Airport and the Hanscom Field, Bedford Airport precludes the use of the Tewksbury facility as an all- weather airport. This occurs since Hanscom Field is equipped with full all-weather landing facilities. Lawrence has some equipment whose use is coordinated with the Bedford facilities. A third facility, such as Tewksbury would prove confusing since adequate separation from the other two facilities could not be attained.
Through discussions with the current Tewksbury (Tewmack) Airport owner/operator it has been indicated that extensive im- provements to this airport are planned. Extension of the current runway, possible addition of a cross-runway, and general improve- ment to the current facilities are planned.
In full consideration of the above factors, it is the recommen- dation of the Tewksbury Advisory Airport Commission that the establishment of a municipal airport in Tewksbury not be pursued at this time for the following reasons.
1. The current and projected use of such an airport by company owned and operated aircraft does not warrant such an endeavor.
2. The close proximity of such a municipal airport in Tewksbury to those in Bedford and Lawrence does not permit all-weather operations.
3. The cost to the town for such a facility in relation to the expected return indicates that it would be a deficit operation for several years.
4. Improvement of the existing airport by the current owner/operator should satisfy the immediate and pro- jected needs of the Town.

BOARD OF HEALTH
In compliance with Section 7, of Article II, of the Town By- laws, the Board submits its report.
For specific details on expenditures and in compliance with Section 13, of Article II of the Bylaws, reference is made to the Auditor's report.
At the request of the Board of Selectmen to have more details in the report, the Board would first like to review its functions. The responsibility of the Board of Health flows from the General Laws, the Town Bylaws, and the vote of the Town. These respon- sibilities are many and varied. The most important are as follows:
Care and prevention of contagious diseases.
Care and prevention of infectious diseases.
Care and follow-up of premature children.
Approval of slaughter houses and inspection of cattle, hogs, and sheep slaughtered.
Inspection of animals.
Dog disposal.
Supervision of transportation of garbage.
Supervision of the garbage and rubbish program.
Approval of dumps.
Mosquito control.
Operation of clinics.
Statistical reporting to the Department of Public Health.
Plumbing inspection.
Sanitary inspection.
Dental clinics.
Jurisdiction over nuisances injurious to the public health. Regulation of water supply.
Fitness of buildings for human habitation.
Eviction from unfit dwellings.
Regulation of noisome trades which are dangerous to the public health.
The Board of Health is aware of the number of complaints that have been received due to unsanitary conditions in the town. The Sanitary Inspector has been instructed to investigate these complaints to see that the situations are corrected whenever possible. It should be brought to the attention of the residents that this inspector is on a part-time basis - pay $12.00 per week - and, if all complaints have not been satisfactorily resolved, it is not indifference on the part of the Board, but rather due to a limitation of the inspector's time.
The statutes pertaining to premature children and to infectious
75
and contagious diseases have not changed, with the exception of the care of tuberculosis cases. These cases are now a responsibility of the State rather than of the County. This reorganization was authorized by the General Courts by Chapter 608 of the Acts of 1961, effective January 1, 1963. Under the new setup, the local Board of Health will be responsible for the payment of one-half the average daily cost for hospitalization for individuals residing in the Town who are admitted to a sanitorium. It is estimated that the rate for 1963 will be $20.50 per day, at a cost to the place of residence of $10.25 per day. Under the County system, the charge was $1.75 per day and, in addition to this charge, the Town was assessed a pro-rated cost of the yearly deficit for the operation of the hospitals. In 1962, the assessment on the Assessor's cherry sheet was $11, 235.78. It would appear as if this assessment would be drastically reduced for the year 1963, if not completely elimi- nated. A further change by this law requires the Town to be responsible for all residents entering such a hospital;where in the past the Town was responsible only for cases settled in the Town. To determine whether or not this will be financially advantageous to the Town is impossible at this time. This can only be done after the first one or two years of operation under the new setup.
In regards to dumps, the Board is willing, at any time, to meet with interested people to discuss problems that arise on dumping. If a better solution or plan can be brought out from these discus- sions that would be more beneficial to the Town, the Board will cooperate in the execution of these plans with whatever means they have available to them.
During the year 1962, the Board of Health conducted the following clinics under the supervision of Dr. Jose Ruisanchez, M.D., and Helen Kelley, R.N .:
Salk Polio Clinics: April 11, May 9, October 17 - 702 immunizations.
Diptheria, Pertussis & Tetanus Clinics: March 28, April 25, May 23 - 33 immunizations.
Smallpox Vaccination Clinic: April 18 - 110 innocluations.
Sabin Oral Polio Clinics, Type I - May 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 -6,291 immunizations.
Sabin Oral Polio Clinics, Type III: June 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 - 6,132 immunizations.
Total immunizations for 1962 were 13,566.
At St. William's School, activities included Massachusetts vision and audio testing, retesting and follow-up, physical exami- nations, and dental clinic.
76
The Board wishes to commend the School Department, especi- ally the Superintendent and the school nurses, for their excellent cooperation during the oral polio clinics in May and June. With this cooperation, the Board was able to furnish protection to 6,200 pre-school and school children. Without this cooperation it would have been impossible to complete the clinics prior to the dangerous summer months.
The Slaughtering Inspector inspected and supervised the slaughtering of 845 cows, 146 calves, 668 hogs, 53 sheep, and 7 goats. There were 4 cows and 7 calves condemned.
There were 40 contagious diseases reported to the Board. In- formation contained was forwarded to the State Department of Public Health.
There were 153 dog bites investigated, 1 squirrel bite investi- gated, and 1 monkey bite investigated; 1 barn inspected, and 3 piggeries inspected, by the Animal Inspector.
Mr. John F. McCormack, Sr., Plumbing Inspecter, submitted the following report:
Plumbing Permits - 120; Sewage Permits - 151; Fees for Plumbing Permits - $923.00; Fees for Sewage Permits - $151.00;
Plumbing Inspections and Complaints - 360 hours; Sewage Inspections and Complaints - 680 hours; Office - 312 hours; On phone at home for information, complaints, and appointments for plumbing and sewage - 360 hours.
Mileage; Plumbing 1200 miles; Sewage 1800 miles.
Mr. Robert Rimbach, Sanitarian, submitted the following report on milk and food inspection: Monthly inspections were made of food handling establishments and bacterial swabs were taken bi-monthly of eating and drinking utensils at those establishments serving food and drink. The reports indicate that much progress has been made during the past by the proprietors to raise the standards of their establishments. Equipment that did not conform to the regulations has been replaced in many instances and sanita- tion control has greatly improved. Those establishments that still remain below standards are making progress to rectify conditions noted on reports. Milk and cream samples were again taken at random from delivery trucks and stores, and examined for butter- fat, coliform, total solids, bacteria count, and phosphatase. Samples of pre-cooked frozen foods were taken and examined for standard plate count, coliform, and coagulase positive staphylococci. Water samples were taken from various locations used for swimming on the Shawsheen River and examined for conformance of standards.
Mrs. Shirley Recks submitted the following report on the
77
dental clinics: The dental health educational program did not get under way until after the March Town Meeting. Mrs. Shirley Recks, assisted by Mrs. Mildred Gourley, started at the Heathbrook, Shawsheen, and North Street Schools in the first grades. From April 4, 1962, to June 11th; and September 17th, through December 21st, 1962, 2,434 children were examined in all, along with tooth- brushing instruction, and reports sent home to parents. This in- cludes 318 children who were examined during pre-school registra- tion in May. 815 children had their teeth cleaned. $813.00 was collected in fees from this service. All children in the first grade who had their teeth cleaned received free toothbrushes, which were donated by their respective P.T.A. or P.T.O. It is hoped that in the near future children from all of the elementary grades may benefit from this program. This will not be possible until it is placed on a full time basis.
