LIBRARY TRUSTEES
Harold H. Sloan, Chairman
Tewksbury with its 16,000 popula- tion has outgrown its one room Li- brary. In 1963, 39,148 volumes were circulated which was an increase of 9,148 over the previous year. Card holders total 5500 which is an in- crease of 500 over 1962. Afternoon and evening attendance runs from 50 to 150 juveniles and adults. If all these came in at once we would be swamped. Many of these come to borrow books but many also come in for research and study. Our Ameri- can Encyclopedia is most popular and we recently added the Grolier's Educational Society's 10 volume set of Popular Science and a 4 volume set of Harper's Encyclopedia of Science, both of which will be ex- ceedingly popular among young and old. We try to buy the best fiction and non-fiction obtainable.
Considering these facts and not forgetting the crowded conditions it readily becomes evident that we are laboring under a big handicap and that handicap is lack of space. The need for a separate Library Building is now and the Trustees as well as the many signers of our article in 1963's Town Warrant believe that the Gray lot fronting on Common Street adjacent to the Town Hall, is the proper location for the new Library,
which will be modern and provide proper Library facilities for adult and juvenile book borrowers, re- searchers and at the same time pro- vide a building which will be a source of pride to all. The town of Bedford, south of Tewksbury, re- placed its one room Library in the Town Hall several years ago with a separate Library Building. We should do the same here.
If the report by the Fire Station and Library Study Committee, which was appointed by the Selectmen, is included in the Annual Town Report, it may well merit your special atten- tion and study.
The Trustees wish to publicly thank Mrs. Marion Carlson, Libra- rian and Mrs. Irene Coombes, Assist- ant Librarian, as well as Grant Bates, for their conscientious and faithful service to Library patrons during the past year.
In conclusion, the Trustees respect- fully request that the Articles in the Town Warrant, namely a Salary Budget of $4,500.00 and an Operation Budget of $2,370.00 besides the mon- ey received from the licensing of dogs in the town, be approved and granted for the general maintenance and operation of the present Public Library.

I am recommending the replace- ment of Engine 5 which is now thirty years old. We can no longer get re- placement parts for this apparatus.
The remainder of the apparatus and equipment of the Fire Depart- men is in good working order.
I also recommend that the Central Fire Station be replaced by a new modern type structure.
Yours truly,

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' BENEFITS and SERVICES

Summary of Activities and Services Three Month Period October 1st thru December
Applications investigated and re- ferred to other towns of settlement, 12; Applications from widows for aid and pensions, 3; Cases investigated for benefits, 36; Home visits made, 52; Hospital visits made, 6; Letters writ- ten in relation to veterans' affairs, 270; State House contacts made in veterans' interest, 19; Veterans' Ad- ministration contacts made in vet- erans' interest, 7; Visits to Commis- sioner of Veterans' Services office,
Boston, 6; State Association of Vet- erans' Agents meetings attended, 2; Photostatic copies of Veterans' dis- charges and vital statistics, 16; Tele- phone calls received at home and office, 96; Veterans and Dependents to office for benefits and consulta- tions, 40.
For complete details of receipts and expenditures of this department, I would refer you to the report of the Town Auditor.
The Veterans' Benefits and Serv- ice case load has more than tripled over the last several years. This is due to the settlement law (resident of Tewksbury for 5 years) and the increased age of veterans of all wars. Every request for assistance that was received was accorded conscientious consideration. All possible assistance under existing regulations was in- variably rendered. There was com- plete cooperation with the Veterans' Administration, the office of the Com- missioner of Veterans' Services and the various organizations that in- terest themselves in veterans' prob- lems.
Whereas the Commonwealth reim- burses the Town approximately 50% of benefits paid to veterans and de- pendents, a bill sponsored by the State Assoc. of Veterans' Agents would increase this reimbursement to 75%, which would amount to a substantial saving to the town. Sev- eral other bills which would aid the veterans of Massachusetts have been filed with the Secretary of State.
May I express my sincere appre- ciation to the Honorable Board of Selectmen, all officers of the town, veterans' organizations and others who have assisted the Veterans' Agent in his duties.
Respectfully submitted,
WARD R. DAVIS, Agent

POLICE DEPARTMENT John F. Sullivan, Chief
In the budget for this year is included:
1. Request for two new sergeants.
I believe this is necessary as we have six shifts per week in which we are without any senior officer on duty. The two new promoted men would give the department a senior officer on duty at all times.
2. Request for an officer classified as an Inspector-Investigator.
This is necessary because of the Numerous complaints received by this department. Some of the complaints are handled by the officers on duty at the time the complaint is received. These men can only pro- ceed so far in any given investigation because of their daily assign- ments; such as covering emergncies, accidents, traffic and routine patrolling.
The Investigator's duties would partly consist of investigating serious complaints, larcenies, breaks, etc.
3. Police Woman - Stenographer.
The duties would consist of taking care of all records, answering all correspondence, typing cases and indictments. Also fill in as matron and policewoman when needed.
4. School Traffic Officers.
Their duties would be to cover all school crossings now covered by the regular men on duty. This would be more practical than to con- tinue covering with regular men. We are now spending approximately $1400 a school calendar year on overtime for regular officers covering school crossings.
The three regular men on duty on the day shift and two cruisers are tied up three hours out of an eight hour day on school traffic. Com- plaints, school bus routes cannot be checked during this time.
If an emergency arises during these hours, we have no choice but to leave the crossings unattended.
5. Request for sending two officers to the State Police Academy in Framingham.
I cannot stress the importance of trained personnel. This course in- cludes all phases of police work, including the use of firearms. Al -· though we have our own inner department training, I believe this course is essential.
I believe there will be a better understanding between the public and this department: If there is a misunderstanding or a complaint, the person or persons would come directly to the Police Department and discuss the matter.
I wish to thank the town officials and the citizens of the town for their cooperation in the past year.
You may expect the Police Department's full coooperation in the year ahead.
