REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS


In accordance with the instructions voted at the annual Town Meeting for water extensions, the Board made every effort to secure priority to make these extensions. Realizing the difficulty in securing iron pipe, the Board thoroughly investigated substitutes and tried to secure Government approval on this basis. After two months of inter- views and sending forms to Washington, the authorities turned down our request, and we are unable to make the extensions.


We wish to call attention to some of the water customers that bills are rendered monthly, and payment is expected to be made monthly. For some reason people seem to pay other bills and allow their water bills to remain unpaid. This naturally results in extra effort to make collections, and accumulated bills are much harder to pay than if they are paid each month. We urge those people who are in arrears to bring their account up to date, and we ask their coopera- tion in making their payments monthly.


Details of income and expenditures are shown on the report of the Town Accountant.


Respectfully submitted,


CALEB S. HARRIMAN, Chairman ALDEN N. EAMES. LOUIS T. McMAHON.

REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT AND TREE WARDEN


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Wilmington, Mass.


Gentlemen:


I herewith submit my annual report as Moth Superintendent and Tree Warden.


Moth Department


In the moth department we sprayed all street shade trees with arsenate of lead and spreader for the gypsy moth, codling moth, and tent caterpillar and creosoted gypsy moth egg clusters. We also sprayed twice for elm leaf beetle and tangle foot some elms, also scraping bark from elms for beetle egg clusters. This will have to be done every year in order to bring the elm leaf beetle under control.


Tree Department


In the tree department I removed a lot of broken and dead limbs, also a few dead trees. We had to take down 3 big elms which were killed by the elm leaf beetle, this work was done as long as finances permitted. Four more of our shade trees were dying, but by giving those trees a feeding with my own tree feed, I made at my own ex- pense, I am very grateful to say that they will live except a few dead limbs which will be taken off. I will repeat this treatment again this year to bring those trees back to healthy trees again. If at any time you have an elm tree, that the leaves show wilt or turning brown and falling off or limbs dying back, please let the tree warden know or write to the State Waltham Field Station at Waltham, Mass., and we will help you with your elm so this disease will not spread any more then it is now. All this will help save our Elm Trees.


Details of expenditures will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN W. BABINE,


Moth Superintendent and Tree Warden.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE


This is a report of the work done in Wilmington in 1942 by the Middlesex County Extension Service:


Ernest Eames was appointed town director for extension service work for the town of Wilmington.


Dairy farmers have been given assistance on the milk market problems, raising better roughage and pasture improvement. Definite assistance has been given some farmers in securing summer labor for haying and harvesting.


The Wilmington Grange has been active in war time food pro- duction work. They held a garden club and have put on an excellent display of garden products at their Annual Fair.


Wilmington poultrymen have been assisted in production prob- lems, disease problems and record keeping, through farm visits and circular material.


A Civilian Defense Nutrition course was conducted by the Home Department with forty-six women finishing the course. Food preser- vation was of great interest, with three meetings being held on the subject.


One hundred and eleven boys and girls were enrolled in 4-H club work and helped in the war effort in production and conservation by carrying on activities in clothing, knitting, food, garden and handicraft. These clubs were under the supervision of the following volunteer leaders: Mrs. Wilfred Babine, Mrs. Lucie Hesse, Mrs. Eva Hitchcock, Miss Amanda Henderson, Mrs. Burt Tilley, Mrs. Edwin Buck, Miss Barbara Nims, Mrs. Guy York, Mrs. Alden Eames, Miss Barbara Haines and Wilfred Andrews. Miss Henrietta Swain was chairman of the committee which sponsored 4-H club work in the town. In addition to the leaders, other members of the committee are Charles Perry, Mrs. J. Dudley Blake, James Castine, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Haynes. Twenty boys and girls gave an exceptionally fine exhibit of garden products at the local Grange Fair.


Miss Barbara Haynes attended Junior Leaders Camp in Amherst.


Pauline Farmer won a blue ribbon at the local contest and was chosen to participate in the country clothing contest. John and Michael Elia, Gordon Balcom, Robert Bertwell and Edward Soule won recog- nition on their excellent garden work. An unusually fine display of 4-H articles was arranged in a store window exhibit by Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Andrews.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE FOR THE YEAR 1942


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Wilmington, Massachusetts.


The Board of Public Welfare submits the following report cover- ing all categories of relief for the year 1942 :-


During the year the Department has continued to carry on the fol- lowing activities :- Administration of General Relief, Aid to Dependent Children and Old Age Assistance. Due to the war-time conditions, the Department has added during the year Civilian War Assistance and Civilian Emergency Relief.


In March the Board of Selectmen provided quarters for this De- partment which were badly needed, as it was a requirement of the State Department of Public Welfare that each Board have ample quar- ters in order to interview recipients in private. This is the first year that the Board of Public Welfare have had quarters for their own use. The office is also used as a control center for the Civilian Defense Program, and we are pleased to have been able to be of assistance to this program during business hours.


In April, Mrs. Eleanor C. Turner was employed as a Social Worker. Mrs. Turner is a graduate of D'Youville College, Buffalo, New York, and had formerly done social work for the Massachusetts S. P. C. C. and the Lowell Catholic Charitable Bureau. Mrs. Turner has visited all cases, compiled needed records of case histories both active and in- active-in addition to the usual stenographic work-and has been very helpful in a great number of cases, especially with children, where a woman has the best understanding of children's problems.


Walter G. Buckle was appointed as Agent for the Board, making two paid full-time employees of the Department at no greater cost than was paid for clerical and travel in the year 1940, when no provision was made in the Welfare appropriation for administration.


For the best interest of the Town it is necessary that this Depart- ment have adequate employees in order that the expenditures not only be carefully checked but also that the Town receive all reimbursements. The Department's total available funds for expenditures for the year


72


1942 was $81,850.25. This however was not all expended and you will notice the balances shown in the Town Accountant's Report. The total receipts of the Department for 1942 were $59,409.10, which is a large sum of nioney, and it is one of the essential duties of the Board to see that this money is received. A detailed account of the receipts can be found in the report of the Town Treasurer.


War-time conditions have added two new categories of relief, viz: Civilian War Assistance and Civilian Emergency Relief. Under Civilian War Assistance this Department is authorized to expend Federal Funds to furnish assistance to individuals in need of Public Aid by reason of enemy action or evacuation ordered by the military or civilian defense authorities. Under this program the mass shelter, feeding and clothing of individuals is the responsibility of the Red Cross. All individual needs and rehabilitation will come under the supervision of this De- partment.


Under Civilian Emergency Relief this Department is authorized to expend State Funds to furnish assistance to individuals in need of Public Aid by reason of a fuel shortage. The American Red Cross has agreed to make their full personnel available to operate shelters and to assist in any other way which is required, but it is the responsibility of this Department to provide food, clothing or other needs which may arise.


We desire to express our thanks to Mr. Philip B. Buzzell for his able counsel and assistance to this Department and to Mrs. Herbert C. Barrows, Chairman of the local Red Cross Chapter, for clothing donated during the year. We also express our appreciation of assistance given by Mrs. Esther H. Nichols, R. N., in checking physical condition of children under our supervision, and various Town Departments for their cooperation.


We have continued to use the budget compiled by the State Depart- ment of Public Welfare in all types of relief, which provides for food, clothing, heat, light, shelter and incidentals. In the use of this budget no discrimination is shown between recipients.


GENERAL RELIEF


General Relief expenditures show a decline, principally because of increased employment due to war-time conditions, and all appropria- tions requested for 1943 are based on present conditions and do not cover any sudden changes due to our National Emergency. The ap- propriation requested for General Relief for 1943 is $8000.00. For


73


comparison, we quote the expenditures for General Reilef for the fol- lowing years :-


1938


$19,395.43


1941 $14,136.11


1939


13,751.88


1942


8,976.37


1940


20,646.71


The total number of General Relief cases aided for the year 1942 was 63. Forty-three were aided in their own homes, 9 in other Cities and Towns with a Wilmington settlement, 10 in Tewksbury Hospital and one in a State School. The total number of cases December 31, 1941, were 16. During the year we have aided 40 new cases and closed 46. The total number of cases December 31, 1942, were 10. Also, there are 7 cases being aided in Tewksbury Hospital and other Cities and Towns with a Wilmington settlement. The total expenditures for Gen- eral Relief were $8,976.37, and of this amount the Town will be re- imbursed by the Commonwealth and other Cities and Towns in the amount of $1,765.54.


We have paid other Cities and Towns for General Relief Bills in- curred in previous years, $10,834.51. We are asking for $1,325.00 in a special article to pay other Cities and Towns for Welfare Bills in- curred in previous years, which will take care of all outstanding charges against this Department.

The total receipts for General Relief - received in 1942 - were $10,645.35. This included amounts received in adjustment with other Cities and Towns for old bills.


74


Aid to Dependent Children


This type of relief is a Federal Social Security Law and is in- tended to provide as near normal home conditions as possible for a family where the father is deceased, physically incapacitated, divorced or has deserted. The Town is reimbursed one-third by the Federal Government, one-third by the Commonwealth, leaving one- third to be borne by the Town.


The total cost of this program for 1942 was $6,851.32. On December 31, 1942 we had 11 cases with 24 children receiving this type of aid. The monthly cost to the Town of Wilmington based on this case load is $175.00. During the year there were 6 new cases added and 6 cases closed.


The estimated cost of this program for 1943 is $7,000.00, but as this Department uses Federal reimbursements-the net amount to be appropriated by the Town is $4,800.00. One-half of the administra- tion cost for this program is reimbursed by the Federal Government and the Commonwealth.


The total receipts for the year 1942 were $6,908.69 under this program. The Federal reimbursement of $2,441.20 is used by the Department and the remainder goes to the Excess and Deficiency account.


Old Age Assistance


Old Age Assistance is granted to an individual who is 65 years of age, a citizen-in need of assistance,-and who has lived in Massachusetts three out of the last five years and for one year pre- ceding the date of application. Legislation has liberalized Relief Laws, particularly Old Age Assistance grants, and for comparison we quote the expenditures for the following year: -

Chapter 729 of the General Laws which became effective May 1, 1942, provided a minima to be granted in all cases-which must be granted by local Boards in order to receive reimbursements from the Federal Government and the Commonwealth. The distribution of costs is the same as 1941. The Federal Government reimburses for one-half up to $40.00. The State reimburses for two-thirds of the remaining half, leaving one-third of the remaining half to be borne by the Town. In all cases not having a Wilmington settlement the

Town is reimbursed in full either by the Commonwealth or by other Cities and Towns. The State also allows two-thirds of 5% or approxi- mately $650.00 per year for administration.


On December 31, 1941 we had 120 cases. On December 31, 1942 we had 112 cases. During the year we denied 7 new applications, added 29 new cases and closed 37 cases for various reasons.


In order to determine the actual net cost to the Town of Wilming- ton for the Old Age Assistance program for the year 1942, we have broken down each case to show the amount of reimbursement from the Federal Government, the Commonwealth and other Cities and Towns. Of the 148 cases aided, 33 have settlements in some other City and Town, 27 are State cases and the remaining 88 have a Wilmington settlement.


The following totals are net expenditures and will differ slightly from the payroll totals-as these are net amounts with all refunded checks for the year 1942 deducted. The total payments were $43,028.45 with reimbursements as follows :-


Total Payments $ 43,028.45


Federal Grants


$ 20,868.24


State Grants


16,227.38


Other Cities and Towns


1,323.94


$ 38,419.56


Net Cost to Wilmington $ 4,608.89


We have eight cases residing in some other City or Town with a Wilmington settlement, which will cost the Town of Wilmington approximately $500.00 a year.


Surplus Commodities


The cost of the distribution of Surplus Commodities for the year 1942 amounting to $617.22-was assumed by this Department. As in the past, the distribution of Surplus Commodities has been handled by Mrs. Giroux. Effective February 1, 1943, this Department will have available stamps for the purchase of milk by relief recipients.


Due to the uncertain conditions regarding Surplus Commodities, it is not known whether or not this program will be continued beyond February 27, 1943.
