REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
I hereby submit my report of the Wilmington Police Department for the year 1935:
The past year has afforded my department many opportunities of service to the community. During the past year, with the acquire- ment of more modern equipment, the department has rendered the people of Wilmington more service and protection than ever before in the history of the town.
Early in April, a new car was purchased and a radio installed. This radio has been hooked up with the State Police at Framingham. This enables this department or any citizen of the town to be in touch with the police car when it is away from the station within five min- utes.
The system for getting in touch with the patrol car is as follows: The state police barracks at North Reading is called and told that the Wilmington police car is to proceed either to the Station or to some specified point. The officer at the sub-station immediately teletypes the message to Framingham. The message is then broadcast, the officer in the patrol car picks up the message, and five minutes is required from the time that the message is started until it is picked up by the patrol car. Many times in the last few months, the speed with which the police car has been located and dispatched has been invaluable.
We have been very fortunate to have obtained the services of Col. Stewart for the instruction of our men in the handling of fire- arms. A very important item in the training of a police officer is his efficient handling of fire-arms for it lends confidence to the officer and prestige to the department. One of our officers has built a mov- able target in the basement of the Town Hall. The marked improve- ment in the accuracy with which the men are now shooting is due to the able tutelage of Col. Stewart.
During the summer months, we were offered a First Aid Station through our local Red Cross Chapter. For three weeks the men of
98
the Department and our lay citizens were given two hours intensive training each day in first aid work, and following their training period, passed the examinations. These stations are to be established throughout the country. Wilmington has the distinction of being the second one established in New England. The townspeople are invited to call upon us in any emergency at any time.
Among our outstanding cases of the year were the hold-up of the local bank and the band of counterfeiters which started operations in this locality. In both cases, the criminals were apprehended and con- victions obtained. We had our usual amount of petty crimes and dis- turbances and we, at this time, wish to thank the many citizens who co-operated with the police which in many instances helped material- ly in clearing up matters that had come to our attention.
The success of any police department is somewhat dependent on the co-operation it receives from the other officers and departments of the town government. The help which my department has received from all with whom we have come in contact has been an inspiration and a great aid and my men and I wish to voice our appreciation at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY AINSWORTH,
Chief of Police.

AMBULANCE
The ambulance fund has enjoyed a profitable year during 1935, both from a point of service, and financially.
During the past year, the ambulance served sixty-two cases, fifty- four of which were lccal citizens and the balance, out-of-town cases. The presence of an ambulance in the town has, without doubt, saved several lives and relieved much suffering. It must be appreciated that to travel or handle the sick and injured with the basket afforded by the ambulance is much more convenient and comfortable than the old system of carrying patients in passenger cars.
The ambulance has been well supported in the past by the local townspeople who generously contributed to the fund established with the purchase of that piece of equipment, and we wish to take the op- portunity of expressing our thanks to those who have made the main- tenance of this public convenience possible. We have added to the equipment the insignia and a First Aid kit, and the ambulance at the present time is fitted out to meet nearly any emergency.
We wish to make the announcement that the ambulance is on call twenty-four hours a day, and is at the service of all.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY J. AINSWORTH

W., Amer- ican Legion and all the veterans, Sons of the American Legion, Nee Ellsworth Auxiliary, American Legion Auxiliary, and Boy Scouts of America.
Proceeding along Middlesex Ave., a stop was made at Carter's Brook where Comrade John Simpson, the sole survivor of the G. A. R. living in Wilmington, cast a wreath of flowers on the water fol- lowed by the firing of three volleys and the sounding of taps. Reform- ing, the parade continued on to Regan Park where a fitting address was delivered and monument decorated. Prayer was offered by Rev. Fr. J. E. Murphy followed by the firing of three volleys and sounding of taps. Returning to Rogers Park the same program was carried out with prayer being offered by Rev. A. A. Simmons. The Soldiers' Monu- ment in Wildwood Cemetery was then visited where an appropriate program was carried out, including the recitation of Lincoln's Gettys- burg Address by Edward Boyd, a member of the local Boy Scout Troop and the decoration of the monument. The graves of all soldier dead were then decorated with an American Flag and a basket of flowers, after which the parade proceeded to the Soldiers' Lot where the ad- dress was delivered by Dept. Cmdr. Francis X. Cotter, V. F. W., orator of the day. Prayer was offered by Rev. B. G. Seaboyd followed by the firing of three volleys and sounding of Taps.
Reassembling, the parade proceeded to Grange Hall where dinner was served to those taking part in the parade.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH H. WOODS.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of the Town of Wilmington:
During the year ending December 31, 1935, the Board of Health of Wilmington has had the following reportable diseases recorded with them:
Dog-bite 19
German Measles
8
Measles
1
Epidemic Parotitis (Mumps)
7
Pulmonary Tuberculosis
2
Pertusis 17
Anterior Poliomyelitis
1
Lobar Pneumonia
3
Erysipelas
1
Others
6
It would seem from the large number of cases of dog-bite that we must make further efforts to eliminate stray and vicious dogs from the town. It was necessary during the past year to administer the Pasteur treatment to four persons in Wilmington.
It is worthy of note that for three years we have not had a case of diphtheria reported.
Attention is called to the fact that we have had but two cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. Parents are urged to co-operate with the school nurse and the State's representative in the field work for the early recognition of the disease.
Typhoid fever has been absent from list of reported diseases for the last two years. Wilmington has had during some of the years in the past a rather high per capita rating for typhoid fever. It is hoped that the increasing use of our water system may be a factor in the control of this disease.
I do not believe that all cases of reportable disease have been recorded with this department and ask for the assistance of the citi- zens in this aid to the protection of the health of the individuals of Wilmington.
Respectfully,
E. C. MacDOUGALL, M. D., Agent for the Board of - Health of Wilmington.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Together with the Report of SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS For the Year Ending December 31st 1935
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The year 1935 has been a time of satisfactory progress for the schools of Wilmington.
The erection of the Daniel T. Buzzell School gave increased ac- commodation at a critical time when it was believed that the platoon system in the High School would soon bring a loss of scholastic standing to our graduates.
