To further strengthen police protection for the townspeople, the Selectmen conducted a survey on the use of police dogs, and following a demonstration of their efficacy, a majority of the Board voted to introduce an article into the warrant calling for the acquisition and use of two dogs by our Police Department.
Looking to further means of improving the operation of the Town ,your Selectmen had the Executive Secretary make an extensive study of con- tiguous or comparable towns which have a Department of Public Works. This report was given to the newly formed Committee for Consolidation of Town Departments. The Selectmen themselves are also studying and analyzing this survey, from which will evolve concrete suggestions at a later date.
The advantages of engaging a Town Engineer have also been investi- gated with several other towns and consideration is being given to whether this idea would be practicable or profitable for Tewksbury.
Code enforcement, a matter of mutual concern to the Selectmen as well as the Board of Health, for the eradication of dangerous situations within the town, has also been studied extensively, with possibilities of Federal or State assistance in this connection being explored.
Improved liaison with the Mass. Department of Public Works has facilitated our dealings with that department; a case in point resulting from
126
Board of Selectmen . . . continued
this is their cooperation with the town in measures to relieve the dangerous, growing traffic hazards on Route 38 at the Route 495 intersection. This is but one instance of the advantages accruing from closer communications with outside agencies.
Contacts have been established with the Lowell city government on matters of mutual interest, and continuing cooperation and benefit can be expected to result from this approach.
The Selectmen have throughout the Legislative sessions been repre- sented at hearings on matters concerning our town, and our wishes presented either pro or con as the best interests of Tewksbury indicated.
Through its Executive Secretary, the Board has worked in close con- junction with the Industrial Development Commission, and we are pleased to report the acquisition of several substantial new industrial and com- mercial firms.
An innovation this year was a detailed examination of all departmental budgets by the Executive Secretary, giving the Selectmen a greater aware- ness of the overall budgetary situation in all its aspects.
Legal problems frequently are a concomitant of growth, and this year the Selectmen have been able to maintain a closer liaison with the Town Counsel which has proved beneficial and expedited solutions that might otherwise have been delayed.
Complaints of citizens are always welcomed when constructive, and it is the pledge of the Board that they will do all in their power to alleviate any conditions that occasion such difficulties.
Obviously this "account of our stewardship" cannot be all inclusive, but it should offer an insight into what your elected representatives are achiev- ing and attempting for the benefit of our town.

TEWKSBURY HOUSING AUTHORITY
Robert Flucker, Chairman
The Housing for the Elderly in Tewksbury will soon have its first year of total occupancy. It has been a great asset to the elderly people in town. There is on file in our office, at this time, a list of 45 elderly people who desire to be residents.
The Authority was very disappointed that we failed to get a quorum for the Special Town Meeting on December 5, 1966, for the express purpose to have the voters of Tewksbury approve an article giving the Housing Authority their approval for an additional forty units on the present site, which the Authority deems we are in dire need of. The article will be resubmitted at the annual town meeting with the hope that in spite of a late start some headway will be made this year.
The members of the Housing Authority wish to thank the members of the Board of Selectmen and the other Boards and public officers of the Town of Tewksbury for their sincere help in bringing this first Housing for the Elderly project to its completion.
I wish to thank, at this time, my fellow members of the Housing Authority for their help during this past year.
