A total of 100,700 feet of hose was laid; 33,700 ft., 212" hose: 27,000 ft., 112" hose; 3.000 ft. 11%" hose; and 37.000 ft. booster. Lad- ders raised 540 ft.
Total value of property endangered was $1.114,200. The loss on property was $51.976.60.
All apparatus and equipment is in good condition except Engine No. 2 which is a 1927 American La France pumper. This truck is frequently out of commission due to mechanical breakdown. Because of its age the parts are hard to get and very expensive.
My recommendation to the townspeople is that this piece of apparatus be replaced and I have inserted an article in the town warrant for the purchase of a new truck.
During the year 1950 the department members attended two fire schools sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Education and under the supervision of Deputy Chief John Thomas of the Lowell Fire Department

REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONER
To the Board of Selectmen
Wilmington, Massachusetts
The Water Commissioners of Wilmington herewith submit their annual report.
All water extensions voted by the town were completed and one hundred and twenty-five new services were installed. In addition, there were added to the system eighteen hydrants, thus giving addi- tional fire protection.
The average daily consumption of water continues to rise. The daily average for 1950 was 768,426 gallons. The capacity of the standpipe is 660,000 gallons. It may be necessary in the not too distant future to provide additional storage for water.
The financial statement of the Department is included in the report of the town accountant.
Appended hereto and made a part of this report are other statistics concerning the Department.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN AND MOTH SUPERINTENDENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Wilmington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit my report as Tree Warden and Moth Super- intendent for the year 1950.
TREE DEPARTMENT
Routine work was carried out during the year, such as removing broken limbs, cutting back split tops, cutting down and removing about fourteen large trees. Eight maple trees were fed with tree fertilizer that were affected with the maple Stagger Head Blight also sixteen Elmis which were affected with Elm Leaf Beetle. We are doing this treatment every year to try to bring back some of these trees, we had a lot of work caused by the wind storm which broke a lot of limbs, we took a lot of these branches out but there is a lot more to take out yet, we went as far as our money lasted.
MOTH DEPARTMENT
All street shade trees were sprayed with Arsenic of Lead, Copper Sulphate, D. D. T. and spreader and also egg clusters were painted with creosote for the control of Gypsy Moth, Coddling Moth, Canker worms and fall webb worms were cut and burned.
Sixty-three (63) brown-tailed moth nests were found on Concord Street and burned. The nests were found this fall and area will have to be checked each year so it will not spread.
ELM LEAF CONTROL
Elm trees were sprayed three times with copper sulphate, Ar- senic of Lead, Spreader, Wettable Sulphur and D. D. T. mixture. We cut away a lot of dead wood which the Elm Leaf Beetle live in and hatch the next spring. This wood was taken away and burned. We also tanglefoot a few trees.
I wish if you have any signs of Elms wilting or leaves curling and leaves falling off you would call on the tree warden so he can help
87
you to control the spread of this Elm Leaf Beetle. We have not any Elm Dutch disease yet but we have it in Reading, Andover, Woburn, had one in Tewksbury. So I still say we will have to spray at least three times to keep our trees healthy. So you see we have it all around us, so if you help me to control the Elm Leaf Beetle around your homes we will keep our elms in good health. So don't forget to call me in and I will tell you what you can do to save your trees. Every call will help to keep down the beetle. Thank you.
The work of the Tree Department, Moth Department and Elm Leaf Beetle Control was carried on as far as funds were available. Expenditures for the year will be found in the report of the Town Accountant.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN W. BABINE, Tree Warden and Moth Supt.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
February 1, 1951
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Town of Wilmington Wilmington, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
We respectfully submit the report of the Board of Public Welfare for the year 1950.
A study of the experience of this Department for the past year shows the largest case load and expenditures since the incorporation of the Town. Recent legislation, both Federal and State, and the approval of the New Old Age Assistance Law will require this Department to furnish more services and expend larger sums of money in 1951 than ever before.
The appropriations requested for the various categories under the supervision of this Board are purely estimates, as it is impossible to determine the needs of the Department at this time. Governor Dever. in his budget message to the Legislature, has provided for an increase of $4,390,000. to cover increased costs of the Old Age Assistance program in 1951, but has not requested an appropriation to cover the New Old Age Assistance Law, which is estimated to cost about $54,000,000 and which will become effective June 1, 1951, unless it is declared unconstitutional by the Courts.
For comparison, we quote the number of cases and number of persons aided for the past three years:

The above figures show a general increase in the various cat- egories each year, but do not follow the figures of comparable towns or on a State-wide basis. For example, the State-wide figures for November 1949 and 1950 show a decrease in Welfare cases, while Wilmington shows an increase.

The major causes effecting the increased case load in Wilming- ton are sickness, divorce, desertion, legal separations and residents of other cities and towns moving into Summer camps, rather than un- employment.
A detailed account of the receipts of the Department can be found in the Treasurer's report and the expenditures of the Depart- ment are listed in the report of the Town Accountant.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Wilmington, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit my annual report for the year 1950. All Chap. 90 Maintenance work was completed as specified by the State Public Works Dept., under the direction of their Engineer. This work con- sisted in general of cleaning catch basins, cutting and burning brush, scraping shoulders and picking up excess dirt where needed, clean- ing gutters, surface patching and surface treating. Shawsheen Ave., catch basins cleaned twice, brush cut and burned, some surface patch- ing and 2700 feet surface treated with pea gravel and heavy asphalt. Church St., catch basins cleaned twice, gutters cleaned and surface patched where needed. Middlesex Ave., catch basins cleaned twice, brush cut and burned, some surface patching and one catch basin in- stalled. Burlington Ave., catch basins cleaned twice, brush cut and burned, some surface patching and 2600 feet surfaced with pea gravel and heavy asphalt. Salem St., catch basins cleaned twice, brush cut and burned, some surface patching, gravel put on shoulders where needed, shoulders scraped and dirt picked where needed and one mile surface treated with pea gravel and heavy asphalt. Lowell St., catch basins cleaned and brush cut and burned. In 1951 this work will con- tinue plus sealing what was done in 1950 to protect the wearing sur- face thereby lowering the maintenance cost.
The following Town streets received the bulk of either in part or all. Andover St., Ballardvale St., McDonald Rd., Harris St., Burt Rd., Cedar St., Marion St., Chestnut St., Swain Rd., Boutwell St., West St., Concord St., Woburn St., Miller Rd., Nickerson Ave., Federal St .. Wildwood St., Glen Rd., King St., Grove Ave., Wild Ave., Silver Lake School., South St., Brand Ave., Baker St., Taplin Ave., Bridge Lane .. Nassau Ave., Forrest St., Auburn Ave., Fualkner Ave., Nichols St., Oakwood Rd., Fairfield Rd., Hobson Ave., Pine St., Miles St., Carter Lane., Aldrich Rd., and Kendall St. All our graveled accepted streets were scraped at various times during the summer months. Some of the above streets received a surface treatment of Tar and covered with coarse sand while others were surface treated with a mixture of pea gravel and heavy asphalt. It depends on the age and present condition of the street surface as to which surface treatment is used.
94
It is my intention during 1951 to seal all the street surfaced with a pea gravel mix in order to protect the wearing surface of said street and cut our maintenance cost.
The following streets were accepted and graveled after boulders, ti'tes and stumps were removed. Linda Rd .. Laurel Ave .. Washington St. Shady Lane Drive. Oakdale Rd., and Wisser St. The only new accepted street that did not require any attention at the present time was Wisser St., which was graveled from time to time by Mr. Van Steenshung before it was accepted for his benefit for which I feel at this time I should publicly thank him. I had to hire a heavy bull- dozer to remove the large boulders and stumps because the machine owned by the Town was far too small to handle the job. I also had to hire a crane shovel and two heavy trucks to haul them away be- cause I felt it was cheaper to hire a privately owned truck than it was to use our light trucks and incur a heavy repair bill. The 2 trucks hired were 5 ton jobs as compared to our 212 ton jobs. However. I did use the Town owned bulldozer when ever and where I though it advisable, especially in spreading the gravel while the Town laborers were doing other work. Without the use of it I could not complete these streets before Dec. 31st and I want to take this opportunity to thank the Water Department for their full hearted cooperation. Not only for the use of the bulldozer but for their compressor as well.
Chap. 90 construction was started at the junction of Salem St .. and Middlesex Ave. The work as yet is not completed as it was im- possible to get the curbing required to make the triangle and the islands. Many trees, stumps and boulders had to be removed to allow for widening. Proper drainage has been installed and the culvert re- newed. All past water hazzards to property owners due to lack of control has been eliminated by the installation of catch basins and grading. Some time in June or July it will be resurfaced with a mix- ture of crush stone (12 inch pea stone) and heavy asphalt. After the street has been resurfaced and the curb is set, proper directional signs will be erected to control the flow of traffic. Before final plans were drawn the State Traffic Dept., gave that junction much study. The proposed plan was submitted for discussion to the interested property owners plus the chairman of the Board of Selectmen, any interested citizens and myself. We all agreed it was an ideal layout and proceeded to do the work as laid out. The reconstruction of Middlesex Ave., by Town forces will continue in 1951. For this work I have asked the State for $8,000.00 the County for $4,000.00 and the Town $4,000.00.
In preparing my Highway Budget for 1951, I was given much
95
help by Mr. Lyons and Mr. Kelmon. We spent much time together in an effort to arrive at a well balanced budget and yet not hurt the taxpayer or the department. We considered every anticipated ex- penditure and its importance before increasing or decreasing it and still retain efficient service to the public. We feel as though we have accomplished that and hope you voters will feel the same.
A number of new streets will be presented for acceptance at the annual Town meeting. I have been informed by the Public Works Department that we are now eligible for Chap. 81 aid. This means the Town will receive between $14,000.00 and $15,000.00 which must be spent on our Town roads plus a like amount from the Town. We still retain our Chap. 90 maintenance and construction aid. The more miles of accepted streets we have the more Chap. 81 aid we will re- ceive. By accepting these new streets you are helping us insure our Chap. 81 aid. I hope in the near future to get an official letter from the Department of Public Works informing us that we are eligible for such aid.
At this time, I am taking this opportunity to thank the various departments for their cooperation and favors regardless how great or small and the Board of Selectmen for their fine treatment and untir- ing help they have given me in solving the many problems that con- front the department. I know I speak for the department when I say it has been a pleasure not only to know them but to work under their jurisdiction. In my humble opinion this unity among officials and employees, serves to create a smooth working and contented depart- ment. We know it is impossible to please every one but we still try very hard to do so. Helpful suggestions are always welcome.
Respectfully Submitted,
JAMES H. WHITE,
Superintendent of Streets.

I herewith submit my report as Public Health Nurse for the Town of Wilmington from January 1. 1950, to December 31, 1950.
Morbidity Service
The purpose of this service is twofold: to provide professional nursing care under the physicians direction to those individuals re- quiring this service in their homes; and to give instruction in the care of the sick, in the prevention of disease and in the promotion of health. This service is available to any individual living in the Town of Wilmington.
Unless we as a community group are physically, emotionally and mentally healthy, the general level of community health suffers. There have been many visits made in the interest of child, adult and con- munity health. It is the aim of this agency to assist any individual or any family with a health or related social problem; and to ac- quaint him with the many other agencies and resources available to him.
Diphtheria Clinic
In conjunction with the School nurse the Diphtheria clinic was held last Spring at the Roman House. Four clinics were held, thus enabling some 100 school and pre-school children to be immunized.
Diphtheria is one of the most serious of communicable diseases. Although the death rate has been lowered, if parents would cooperate with health workers this disease could be wiped out. This particular program is aimed at obtaining a higher percentage of immunization among the pre-school group of children. It is in this group that com- municable diseases do the most harm.
To all who have cooperated and helped in this program, my sin- cere and grateful appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
ANNE BUTTERS, R. N.

Certificate of Organization was issued by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Edward J. Cronin. on March 29. 1950. which legally organized and established Wilmington Housing Authority a public body politic and corporate.

Assistant Treasurer Herbert Higginbotham, Sr.

The act providing for financial assistance by the Commonwealth was to expire on April 6. 1950, and it was necessary that application for state financial assistance be filed before that date. The site of land on Wildwood Street was named in the application to the State Housing Board and contracts were entered into with the architect. site engineer, appraiser and title examiner.
Late in May the State Board suggested that new sites be sub- mitted for ten single units, as the estimated cost of each unit on the Wildwood site was greater than other similar state aided projects. The application and all existing contracts were then amended to read Wildwood Street site and Woburn Street site.
Contract for financial assistance by and between The Common- wealth of Massachusetts, acting by and through the chairman of the State Housing Board and Wilmington Housing Authority, authorizing
