We scouted some 1500 acres of woodland under the government projects and found some bad infestations.
In the Tree Warden's Department, a number of diseased trees were removed and necessary trimming has been done as much as possible.
Details of expenditures will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
The year 1934 has been the most arduous year for this Board since its first organization in 1931 and although we have given a considerable number of hours of our time to this work we feel that our administration to the needs of the people of this Town has been successful.
This year we have been called upon to do a twofold job, that is, our regular assigned duties pertaining to Welfare, Old Age Assist- ance and Mothers' Aid and also a vast amount of work in connection with the Civil Works Administration and the Emergency Relief Administration and in these duties we have appreciated the oppor- tunity to assist in the various agencies assigned to us.
The splendid administration and cooperation of our local CWA and ERA Administrator Charles H. Black with this Board and the unemployed of this town, has indeed, relieved the unemployment condition to a very high degree and without these administrations, CWA and ERA, the cost of Welfare Relief would have exceeded our financial appropriation by a very large amount of money.
In connection with the CWA and ERA this Board has had charge, authorized by our local Administrator, in the distribution of large amounts of fuel, food and clothing to all needy persons in this town, as well as to all workers employed through the above named agencies, the CWA and ERA. The investigation of all applicants for work in connection with these named agencies has been accom- plished through this Board.
The clerical and statistical work required by the State and Fed- eral Departments has taken considerable time and this work has been taken care of in addition to the large amount of clerical work required in connection with the Welfare Board.
We wish also to mention that one member of this Board served as Assistant Disbursing Officer for the Civil Works Administration in this Town for three months and this work consumed an average of 15 hours each week.
Another member acted as local Administrator for the Women's Sewing project in connection with the Emergency Relief Adminis- tration and this work called' for daily attendance and supervision on the part of this person.
Both of these members served in their capacity without recom- pense until they were relieved by paid workers who were assigned by the State Department of the CWA and ERA.
12S
This Board has contributed approximately $400 to maintain the working of the Sewing project and various other expenses in con- nection with the administration of the CWA and ERA.
Herewith we are showing the amount of commodities received from the State Department of the CWA and ERA which have been distributed through this Board for the year.

Welfare Cases
During the year 1934 this Board has rendered aid to 35 families, caring for 155 persons, 60 adults, 95 children. Of these families aided, 19 had a legal settlement in Wilmington, 10 had settlements elsewhere and 5 had no settlement and constituted State cases. The expenditure by this Town for the cases having no Wilmington settlement will amount to approximately $700 and the Town will be reimbursed for this amount.
Also this year we have 18 cases with Wilmington settlements residing in other towns and cities where they have reecived aid and which has been charged to this town for payment. .
There were 14 persons committed to the State Infirmary at Tewks- bury, also 1 at Wakefield Town Infirmary and 1 at the Boston City Hospital.
The rule of this Board requiring all able bodied men to work out their welfare allowances has enabled this Board to assist the various departments of the town as in the past years to carry out work for which they have received no appropriation from the town.
During the year we have called on our Town Counsel to effect collection of several bills due this town from other cities and towns for aid rendered to persons having settlements in places from which our bills are due.
We refer you to the report of the Town Counsel for record of his work for this Board.
Mothers' Aid
This Board has cared for three Mothers' Aid cases in Wilmington while we are indebted to the City of Lowell for the rendering of this class of aid to a Wilmington settlement in that city.
One case in this town has been released but another case is anticipated to take the place.
On Mothers' Aid cases the State reimburses to the amount of one third of amount expended, therefore this town will receive approxi- mately $560 from the Commonwealth.
Old Age Assistance
We have received eight applications for Old Age Assistance and it is evident that the Old Age Assistance Act is misunderstood by many of the applicants. This act does not provide a pension but only assistance to a person 70 years of age and only in conformity with the law as enacted.
It it absolutely necessary that the applicant be a deserving citizen in need of relief and support and it cannot be overlooked that where there are children or other relatives, such persons should morally and legally provide for the care and support of their needy relatives.
130
This Board has received several applications this year that have been rejected for reason that applicant had children who were able to provide for their parents and the Board was upheld in its decision by the State Department of the Old Age Assistance.
Of the applications received this year, one was accepted and five rejected.
We have had six cases receiving this assistance in Wilmington and all have legal settlements in Wilmington with the exception of one case on which case the town will receive full reimburse- ment from the Commonwealth.
As in the case of Mothers' Aid the Commonwealth reimburses on settled cases the amount of one-third of amount expended.
This town will receive approximately $700 as reimbursement from the Commonwealth.
There are four cases, having Wilmington settlement receiving Old Age Assistance in other cities and towns and this town is chargeable for two-thirds of the amount granted.
At present this Board has two applications under investigation.
Civilian Conservation Corps
During the past year twenty-eight boys between the ages of 18 and 24 have been sent to the Civilian Conservation Camps and ex- treme care has been taken to see that boys of the most needy families in this town have been enrolled and sent to these camps.
These boys receive $30 a month and it is mandatory that they sign over $25 a month to their parents, thereby rendering financial assistance to the families they represent.
The total amount expended by this Board during the year 1934 is shown in detail in the Town Accountant's Report elsewhere in this book.
We wish to express our appreciation to all departments of our town government for the splendid cooperation we have received.
The cooperation and services of Chief of Police Ainsworth has been of great assistance to this Board and regardless of the time, day or night, Chief Ainsworth has always been ready to serve in every way.
We have had many hospital cases this year and in practically every case the Chief has used the new ambulance to convey the sick in comfort to the hospital.
We also wish to express our appreciation and thanks to the individuals and local organizations and churches for their assist- ance and contributions.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The following is the report of the Highway Department for 1934.
This last year prices have gone up on nearly everything we use in the maintenance of our roads. Tar and asphalt are up 15 to 20 percent; tools are much higher; truck tires have also advanced materially. I bring this market condition to your attention that we may face it squarely.
In 1934 C. W. A. projects cost our Highway Department $1,846.01.
This amount was spent for supplies, repairs, trucks and drivers in cooperation with the money spent by the government, which altogether netted the Town of Wilmington a favorable return.
I feel that most of the C. W. A. men gave an average day's work, but the percentage of efficiency was low due to weather conditions in January, February, March, and part of April.
Recommended for 1935 Town Appropriation
$17,500.00
Chapter 90 Maintenance 1,200.00
Construction Shawsheen Avenue
2,000.00
For your information, I will quote the approximate costs of equipment, each unit separately, for gasoline, oil, and repairs for the year 1934 and the average day cost of each unit.

Respectfully submitted,
D. R. CARTER,
Superintendent of Streets.

REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD AND PARK COMMISSION
Honorable Board of Selectmen:
To our minds, the past year has been an eventful one for the Town of Wilmington; first, the great step forward in the accept- ance of the Zoning By-Law, accepted at the Special Town Meeting held in July, with only two dissenting votes. Secondly, the great loss Wilmington sustained in the death of Mr. A. Chandler Manning.
Your Board feels that the passing of this splendid citizen was an irreparable loss; his interest in' the welfare of our Town, and his efforts to help make it a better place for our men, women and children to live in, were beyond the conception of the majority of our fellow citizens; those of us who have been privileged to work with him for the betterment of our Town, fully appreciate his ability and his devotion to this cause. Mr. Manning has handed down to posterity, plans and ideas for the beautification and en- joyment of the generations to come, which will be more appreci- ated by our children and grand-children, than by the present generation. When it becomes possible for us to carry out the plans he has developed for our Town Park, our Common and our other publicly owned places, then indeed, will we have erected a mem- orial to his memory.
Development of our Town Park, with the labor supplied under the E R A has progressed steadily through the year; time alone will finish the major portion of this work. We feel that our new Baseball Field at the Town Park will be ready for play this Spring. We have reason to believe that we shall have a field that we may well be proud of. The smaller Parks throughout the Town have been kept as neatly as possible with a minimum of expense.
During the past several months plans and sketches have been made for street inter-sections affording some small area suitable for planting, which, when fully carried out, will prove to be a source of pride and joy to all our citizens.
Referring again to our Zoning-By-Laws, it is the opinion of your Committee, that we have taken the one step necessary to help our Town grow in an orderly manner, retain Real Estate values and protect the homes from encroachment of undesirable enter- prises.
Respectfully submitted,
E. M. NEILSON, W. E. BARROWS, HOWARD E. BEDELL, CHARLES H. BLACK, EDWARD C. MANNING,
