ITEM 11 Recommendations for 1965
1. Each year our water storage problems increase due to the fact that we are constantly adding more consumers to the system, but have been unsuccessful to increase our water storage. This year we recommend a one million gallon elevated water tank to be erected in the vicinity of 90 Astle Street with a sixteen inch water main from the tank to Astle Street, a distance of approximately 500 feet.
In summing up this recommendation we feel that a tank of this capa- city is much needed to boost the demand of the water consumed during its highest peak.
2. That Gravel Packed Wells and Pumping Stations be built and pumps be installed at test well locations No. 7 and No. 8 in the Poplar Road Well Field, with a pipe line running from these two wells to South Street.
3. That a new truck of 3/4 ton capacity should be purchased for the depart- ment, due to the fact that we have the same number of trucks for many years and our maintenance is increasing steadily and we have added many new water takers.
4. That a new typewriter with a 15" carriage be purchased.
5. That a Hydraulic Cast Iron Pipe Cutter be purchased.
6. That one full time Maintenance Man be added to the personnel of the Water Department.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
John F. Sullivan, Chief of Police
The Police Department wishes to thank the people of Tewksbury for sending two police officers to the State Police Academy in Framingham in the year 1964.
In the 1965 Budget, monies have been included to send two more men to this school.
I cannot stress the importance of trained personnel. This course in- cludes all phases of police work, including the use of firearms. I believe this course is essential.
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 cooperation in the year ahead.

SCHOOL PLANNING COMMITTEE
THE SCHOOL PLANNING COMMITTEE is comprised of the members of the currently elected members of the School Committee together with four members appointed by the Moderator.
This Committee empowered and authorized to function with the pur- pose of answering the State of Massachusetts' request and the Town's need for a long range school building program and the purpose of carrying this program, and in particular each project, through the states of demon- strated need, approval of educational specifications, and site.
This Committee has held meetings to determine the projected needs for facilities on the elementary school level.
The projection from the Superintendent Office is a need for at least an increase of thirty classrooms.
Five to six rooms will be an absolute necessity by this September 1965 opening date. This means that without them the children will be housed in other areas than their proper school.
PROJECTED GRADE I ENROLLMENTS Based on October 1, 1964 Census
YEAR
-
OCT. 1, 1964 = 16 - 1st grade classrooms -
OCT. 1, 1965 = 18 - 1st grade classrooms
OCT. 1, 1966 =
18 - 1st grade classrooms
A projection of 6 repeaters for every first grade classroom.
A meeting of this Committee with Mr. Domas of the School Building Assistance Commission was held. Projected enrollment figures, births and building permits were studied.
Due to developments opening up on Andover Street, Kendall Road and Ames Hill, etc. the projected views of the Committee are that the North end of Town must be considered for elementay school facilities.
Therefore this committee will insert in the Town Warrant two Articles; namely, one for request for funds to carry out the responsibility of this committee to function; secondly for steps to acquire a site for school facilities.

BOARD OF APPEALS
Report For Year Ending December 31, 1964
During the year 1964, the Board of Appeals had the busiest season to date. There was a total of thirty-two (32) hearings and twelve (12) meetings conducted, as well as each member viewing each piece of property in question.
Because of the increased burden on the Board of Appeals concerning many more cases, and the increased clerical salaries as approved by the Town Meeting 1964, the chairman requested, and received, additional funds ($200) to operate the last two months of 1964.
Granted by the Board were nine (9) additional new homes, two (2) additions to present dwellings, five (5) commercial establishments, three (3) improements on present facilities, and one (1) technical, i.e. (an existing building.)
Rules and Regulations and an operative procedure were established by this Board and put into action on October 1, 1964, as well as raising the application fee from $10 to $15 to cover increased operating expenses.

During the year 1964, Tewksbury has continued to show a growth in building.
Home construction has been slower than that of our neighboring towns.
Commercial construction has shown the year 1964 to be a preparatory stage for things to come. By Town Meeting time it is hoped that these preparations will have reached a climax.
Commercially, the Telephone Company has remodeled and expanded their facilities on Robertson Avenue. A new Telephone Company, School and Garage have been constructed on Route 38 near Nichols Street.
Mr. Thomas Lyons has built a new office building on Route 38 and corner of Jerome Avenue.
Hamilton Chemical has been preparing ground work for their building.
Preparatory work has been done on the following business establish- ments:
1. the new Shopping Center at Routes 38 and 495
2. the new Tewksbury Holiday Inn on Routes 38 and 495
3. Gas Storage facilities off Chapman Road
It is the hope of all town officials and citizens that many other business establishments will choose Tewksbury for their building location.

For complete details of receipts and expenditures of this Department, I would refer you to the Report of the Town Auditor.
The year 1964 was a very active one and a total of 1,204 inquiries and cases were handled by the Veteran's Agent. Some 20 classifications of problems were represented in the total cases handled.
In the month of March 1963, Financial Aid payments were changed to twice monthly, instead of monthly, as in the past. This, I felt, would releave hardship on some recipients who were already over-burdened with same.
In the administration of Veterans' Benefits, that are governed by Chapter 115, as amended, 90 cases involving 360 people were aided finan- cially, for which the Town of Tewksbury will be reimbursed approximately 50% by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Financial assistance was rendered to veterans who served Honorably in the Great Wars of this Nation, and to their dependents.
Need, through no fault of the veteran, must be established and sub- stantiated under the governing laws of Chapter 115, as amended, before a case can be approved.
Under Chapter 394, Acts of 1956, as amended, are listed the dis- qualifications for Veterans' Benefits, among there is one: - "Unless the Commissioner, at his discretion, shall otherwise determine, no veterans' benefits shall be paid to or for any veteran who neglects to support his dependents nor to or for any dependents of cush a veteran, nor to or for any veteran or applicant if the necessity therefore is caused by his voluntary or continuous vicious habits, nor to or for any dependents of such a veteran or applicant."
Every request for assistance that was received was accorded con- scientious consideration. All possible assistance under existing regulations was invariably rendered. There was complete co-operation with the Veterans' Administration, Commissioner of Veterans' Services, Mr. Charles N. Collatos and local Veterans' Organizations, Clergy and the Board of Selectmen.
105
In January 1964, the Veterans' Agent's office was moved to private quarters in the Lower Town Hall to accommodate the veterans and their dependents of the town in a confidential manner. All files, cases and records of the veterans and their dependents are kept in the strictest of confidence.
Mrs. Minnie DeGraan was appointed secretary to the Veterans' Agent in June 1964 as there is a vast amount of clerical work involved in the Agent's office such as, vouchers, filing, monthly reports to the Commissioner, keeping records of funds expended, various reports on each case received, medical and hospital bills and requests to the Commissioner's office for State authorization, etc. For 1965 I am requesting funds for Mrs. DeGraan to work at the office five hours per week. She has averaged 10 hours per week in 1964 doing work at home and office.
Frequently the work load of the office was too heavy for the pre- scribed work day. What was not accomplished within such limits was handled outside regular hours.
SERVICE
Service work, in addition to disbursing financial assistance to veterans' and their dependents, is essential to the efficient operation of the office of Veterans' Agent. By advising veterans and widows and aiding them in their applications for Federal Benefits such as Social Security, Part III Pensions. Veterans' Administration Compensation, V. A. Hospitalization and medical care, taking Power of Attorney to aid them to expedite their claims can be a substantial savings to the town. This being, the sooner the recipient of local benefits recovers federal benefits, the greater the savings to the town. By aiding a veteran who has had hardships to again become productive and self-supporting will take him off Veterans' Benefits, thus saving the townspeople and his fellow veterans money.
The one aim of this office was to give the veterans and their dependents of the town the best possible service at all times and to administer the laws and regulations affecting veterans impartially, efficiently and effectively.
Grateful acknowledgement is made to the Honorable Board of Select- men, all offiiers of the town, members of the clergy, vetreans' organizations and others who have assisted the Veterans' Agent in his duties.
Respectfully submitted, WARD R. DAVIS Veterans' Agent

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Board of Selectmen, Tewksbury, Massachusetts
Subject: Industrial Commission Report for 1964
Gentlemen:
With Interstate Route 495 opened up for travel from U. S. 93 to Westborough, a distance of forty miles, the Commission members are unanimous in their thinking, that many acres of land abutting the new roads, which now can be closely examined and carefully inspected, are sure to bring inquiries from those seeking choice and desirable locations on which to locate and build.
To date new industry along the new roads has brought over one hundred and twenty five new jobs to Tewksbury. A national Motel and Restaurant Chain have taken an option on a tract of land along U. S. 495 at Route 38. The Lowell Gas Company is contemplating considerable increase in their Booster Storage Facilities in West Tewksbury. An option has been taken on a sizable parcel of land, partially in Tewksbury, for Warehousing and Sales Offices, by a well known Interstate Corporation. We have a second Shopping Center, with site prepared, being planned on Route 38 at the U. S. 495 interchange. These few instances cited justify the Commission's optimism and the investors confidence in Tewksbury's future industrially.
However, Tewksbury is in serious competition for new industry, with all the cities and towns that abutt the new roads, but the fact that our Town lies within the junction of U. S. 495 and U. S. 93, and is surrounded by interchanges, gives us a tremendous advantage over our competitors be- cause of this unique physical location.
The Commission wishes to expres its appreciation for the co-operation to the attention of any of the members, with necessary visits and appoint- ments to show prospective buyers sites available and peculiar to their needs.
The Commission wishes to express it's appreciation for the co-operation received from everyone, confident it will continue, it being so essential to create a favorable industrial atmosphere.
Sincerely, WALTER J. PUPKIS, Chairman Industrial Commission

BOARD OF HEALTH
The major problem facing the Board of Health in the past year was the problem of the dump located at South Street.
I would like to explain in detail what the circumstances leading up to the requirements that we operate a sanitary land-filled dump, are.
Several years ago, the Board of Health gave Mr. Anthony Rocco permission to operate an open-faced dump. This area at that time, being the most secluded area available. The Town was operating this dump for $2,500.00. At a later date, the State Board of Health investigated complaints from the area, alleging unsanitary conditions. They sent a letter requiring that we maintain a sanitary land-filled dump operation. The Board of Health, feeling that this was an arbitrary requirement; and was not being enforced in other towns, felt that we should not be required to comply with this and subsequently, the State Board of Health brought an injunction closing the dump on South Street. After lifting the injunc- tion, the case was tried and the judge found in favor of the State Depart- ment of Public Health. Therefore, the Board of Health is requesting $20,000.00 to operate a sanitary land-filled dump. This amount of money was arrived at by consulting with Mr. Rocco, the present owner of the dump, as to what he would charge to operate a sanitary land-filled dump.
