Time has arrived when towns have got to adopt regulations to prevent the spread of rabies Public health andthorities strongly recommend that towns and cities adopt regulations emusing all dog owners to show a certificate of vaccination against rabios before obtaining a license for their dog. Towns and cities that have adopted this means of prevention feel that the dog owners and in- habitants were well repaid for the small cost. Rabies can be pro- vented hy the yearly immunization of all dnes. This consiste in giving a bypodermic injection of rables vaccine. Experiments con- ducted by the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry show conclusively that the vaccine protects a dog for at least mme year and tost it is a safe product to use.


Since this product was first worked out by noted Japanese in vesigators, millions of dogs have been vaccinatel, and that when properly carried out the percentage of cases showing any unfaver- able results or failing to be protected is less than one percent Its value in preventing rubies has been conclusively demonstrated not only in individual instances but hy many towns. cities and states in which the disease has been prevalent.


Rabies vaccine is a safe and efficient biological product for the control of this disease. Dog owners should have their pets pro- tected and health authorities should encourage the fast developing practice of conducting clinics for the vaccination of all dogs.


I strongly recommend that the Selectmen and Board of Health take some action on this recommendation.

REI-ORT Or THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE


This board has now completed the third year of operation under adverte unemployment circumstances. Demands for relief have steadily increased during the last three years. Relier burdens during Theye yeore have been unparalleled in the history of public relief administration. We now anter another year with temporary relief afforded by the Federal Government's C. W. A. program, and we sincerely hope that the benefits derived from it will provide the necessary stimulus Lhe unemployment situation requires.


Relief of destitution is the primary responsibility ot this depar !- menit, but wica Otcreased derwands for aid it is notaral that our ex- penditures must of necessity increase. We have earnestly en- deavored to give to this community on effirieur und economiaxl administration unt wi be the continuance of this emergency the tnx- papers must expect a substantial increase in out 1954 expen Itures


The congestion in the Town Hall on Wednesday nights coutumes to increase The amount of time required for interviewing him'i- can's. together with the clerical work and numerous other duties. has impesed upon this board work that requires soveraf nights euch week. Durlug the past three years this board has been considerably overworked, and, in the event that the several federal government employment programs foll to relieve The work required of this hoard it will be necessary that we engage the graviers of & Fol time clerk


During the past year we continned the procedure followed by ( during previous years. Able bodied applicants for aid bave worked in return før aid renpdeted to them and their families. The value of the services rendered by these mun amountd to approximately $4.000 during 1:025, for which the Welfare Department is given no credi in its financial statement Many beneficial projects have been carried out as a result of the utilization of this labor. The assign- ments have been niade To the following departments: Cemetery ~ Park - Schools ~ Highway Town Hall - Fire Dwirtment - Police and Water Department.


Commencing with the beginning of 1933 the demand for aid gradually increased, the peak bring reached during the last week in March, from which time the requests for aid shitsided, and for four weeks during August no able bodied man applied for aid. Communcing with September requests for aid steadily increased until the start of our local C. W. A. programs.


We have endeavored to keep in close touch with all applicants and their families by making frequent visits to their homes in order to protect the in erest of the taxpayer.


114


A subsistence budget used by the visitors of the State Department of Public Welfare has been adopted by us to determine the allow- ance for each family. The allowances are calculated to be enough to maintain health and decency, and not merely a bare subsistance ration of food.


Indoor and Temporary Relief


The whole number of persons (excluding Mothers' Aid and Old Age Assistance cases) aided in the town were 346, representing $3 families. In addition, we have 12 families residing in other cities and towns receiving aid. During the year 23 persons were sent to hospitals or other institutions: 17 of these cases have Wilmington settlements. Of the 83 families aided in this town 4% had sett' :- ments elsewhere than Wilmington.


Of the total amount expended by this board during 1933 as shown in detail in the Town Accountant's Report elsewhere in this book, approximately $5,000 is collectable from other cities or towns and the State.


In addition to providing food, fuel, and clothing, medicine and medical attention has been provided. We have tried to amply pro- vide for every worthy case. The administration of relief is a Jin- cult job under favorable circumstances. Because of the ra xowi- of the heavy load under which this department has operated midy the past year, complete efficiency was probably not citric o 1 every case. Abuses ale bound to creep in, and some who are not worthy of charitable consideration may for a short time have er- joyed the benefits to which they are not justly entitled, but on the whole the difficult task assigned to us has been handled as well as physical limitations would permit, continually striving to allow no worthy needy case coming to our attention to suffer.


We have endeavored to carefully investigate the settlement st of every case in order to be certain that this town was no: obliged to pay for cases not properly belonging to it. In one instance a member of this board traveled to within a few miles of the Canadian Border to settle a questionable settlement, and the r. v. was the saving of over a thousand dollars already charged, and an annual future charge of $365 per ann m.


Mothers' Aid


At the close of the year 1933 there were four recipients of this form of aid. Three cases were aided locally and one case in Low- ell. During the year there were two cases added to the roll and ore case discontinued.


Old Age Assistance


At the close of the year 1933 there were six recipients of this form of aid. During the year there were two cases added to the roll and five cases discontinued. There were seven applications received during the year: two were accepted and five were rejected.


2.6.0.


During the year twelve young men enlisted in the C. C. C. through this board. The income received by the families of these youths must have been of considerable assistance.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


The following is the yearly report of the Highway Department.


In order to have a well organized crew we must have work that can be done throughout the year. This coming year (1934) it will be necessary to accept new streets to provide winter work. Would recommend accopting about three-quar er miles.


The type of asphalt road we have is very slippery when wet, and as the Town is able to finanze the work, they should be treated with retread and honed. making the surface the same as you will find on Burlington Avenue and a part of Shawsheen Avenue.


This year 1934 C. W. A. work is helping our department. but is costing us money to equip the workers with tools, repairs, pur- chase of gravel, etc .. explosives and trucks


In 1933 C. W. A. work cost our Department for

REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD AND PARK COMMISSION


We offer the following report as a consolidated report of both the Planning Board and Park Commission:


The Planning Board during the past year, has completed the task of zoning the town, perfecting Zoning By-Laws to the extent that they are now complete and ready for the consideration of our citizens. We are indebted to one of our members. Mr. A. Chandler Manning, for the endless amount of labor and effort required in the drawing of Plans and Maps necessary to bring Zoning to our Citi- zens in an intelligent manner. Without Mr. Manning's knowledge, ability and intense interest in the welfare of Wilmington. your Board feels that the work could not have been accomplished without a large expenditure of public funds, if at all. It is the purpose of the Board to bring action on the question of Town Zoning at an early date. PARKS;


Few citizens realize that Wilmington has one of the largest Town-owned Parks in the entire State, one that is envied by a great many of our neighboring cities and towns. Work that is now in progress on Memorial Park will, we believe, be a great source of pride in the years to come. We started early in the Spring by planting more than four thousand Pine trees, creating a school forest. The Conservation Depar ment of the Women's Clum and the school children themselves, raised and contributed the major portion of this expense. We hope to plant fully as many new trees this Spring. Work under the C. W. A. will continue until May 1st. This work will give our forest growth the opportunity to devolop into a most beautiful natural park. Our smaller parks were cared for at a minimum of expense, through the willingness of various members of your board to do a portion of the work, themselves.


Respectfully submitted,


W. E. BARROWS, HOWARD E. BEDELL, A. CHANDLER MANNING, MERVIN J. CURL, E. M. NEILSON.
