Recounts for the office of Selectmen and Assessor (3 years) were held following the Town Election but the recount did not materially affect the original standings. We are justly proud of the efficiency and the accuracy of the Election Officers and Tellers.
Women married prior to January 1st must re-register under their marriage name to vote in the future. New residents are cordially invited to give notice of the date they acquired residence in Tewksbury by calling at the office of the Town Clerk.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION William F. Wolz
1965
As required by the by-laws of the town, I herewith submit the annual report of the Tewksbury Conservation Commission for the calendar year 1965.
The Conservation Commission is a public body appointed by, and reporting to, the Selectmen of the Town. The duties and powers of the Commission are established by the enabling legislation contained in Chapter 40, section 8c of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Commission was instituted with the appointment of five citizens in April, 1965. The appointees and their terms of service are:
William Wolz, Chairman - 2 years (resigned Jan. 1966)
Nancy Billings, Secretary - 3 years
Walter Doucette - 3 years Leslie Collins - 2 years Benjamin Dzwilewski - 1 year
Following the appointments there was a period of internal organization. During this interval the Commissioners became acquainted with the details of State-wide conservation activities by meeting with a representative of the Dpartment of Natural Resources. One of the first orders of business was the establishment of communications with the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, the Massachusetts Audubon Society, and the State.
The principal activity of the year was the action taken to implement a town park on the Rogers site at Rogers and Marston Streets. This 27 acre parcel of land, to be known as the Melvin G. Rogers Memorial Park, was accepted by the town as a gift in 1961. It is currently anticipated that the Park will be available to the people of the town, for limited recreational activities, during the summer of 1966.
During the calendar year 1965, Commission expenditures of town funds totaled $41.00. Of this total $25.00 was spent for membership in the Massa- chusetts Association of Conservation Commissions, and $16.00 was required for stationery supplies.
