BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Wilmington:
Herewith is presented the Annual Report of your Board of Selectmen for the year ended December 31, 1963.
Following the election of Mr. Rene LaRivee and Mr. Charles H. Black, the Board organized with Mr. Black as Chairman.
Mr. Gerald R. Bouchard, who was elected by the Board of Selectmen on February 27, 1963, assumed his duties on March 25, 1963.
Reference is made to other sections of this Annual Report for more particular information regarding the activities of the Town Manager and the Departments of the Town.
UM-'ndan Memorial Library
The Board of Selectmen has had a very busy year. The Town continues to grow with new and desirable industry, and more industries are considering locations in Wilmington, more homes have been built and more are being planned. With a constant demand for improved and more facilities, it is difficult to balance the need for such facili- ties with the ability of the taxpayer to pay. We cannot promiscuously spend without overburdening YOU the taxpayer; we must have assessable property to assist you, and in this respect your Selectmen and Town Manager are endeavoring to attain this goal.
The Board of Selectmen takes this opportunity to thank the Town Manager, Members of Town Boards and Commissions, Department Heads, Employees, and other Citizenry who have contributed to the progress and welfare of our Community.
Respectfully submitted, Charles H. Black, Chairman Wavie M. Drew Nicholas L. DeFelice John Brooks Rene J. LaRivee

Town Manager
To the Citizens of Wilmington:
The Annual Report contained herein highlights the comprehensive role your town government plays in the day to day activities of each citizen. Underlining this role is our ever present goal to provide you with the maximum amount of govern- mental service available for your tax dollar. As one of the town's stockholders, you have every right to expect that your town government will be run efficiently and in a businesslike manner. It is to this end that your town employees have pledged their loyal service.
As your Town Manager, I am proud to present the review of last year's operations contained in this report. Wilmington's accomplishments include:
1. Initiation of a program for the short-term investment of idle funds to increase Town revenues.
2. Initiation of the Town Hall News Letter to keep the citizens informed about the progress being made to improve town govern- ment services and operations.
3. A police consultant was retained to review the operations of the Wilmington Police Department to find out how to improve services to the public.
4. A Planning Consultant was hired to render professional advice to the Town with respect to garden type apartment home develop- ments and rezoning along 93 to insure continued industrial expansion in Wilmington.
5. Initiation of electronic data processing for various clerical operations including water billing and the voter registration and persons listed publications.
6. Cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce in its newly established annual clean-up program.
7. Construction of the Woburn Street School due for completion in the fall of 1964.
8. Sale of the veterans houses on Wildwood Street which returned to the tax roles thirteen homes formerly exempt from the local property tax.
9. At the direction of the Board of Selectmen a comprehensive pro- gram for relieving some 21 drainage problems was initiated.
Your town government is committed to a course of action which will make Wilmington a better place in which to live, work, and do better business. With the cooperation and assistance of a fine Board of Selectmen, a sound administrative organization and the support of all our citizens, we look forward to continued progress during the coming year.
Respectfully submitted, H. R. Bouchard

Board of Registrars
In accordance with Section 1, Chapter 3, of the Town By-laws, meetings of the Board of Registrars are held on the second Monday of each month for the registration of voters and the conduct of business. Under Chapter 626 of the Acts of 1958, this meeting is open to the public and the press and is so posted in the Town Hall.
The Board also holds many extra meetings for the purpose of certifying names on nomination papers and warrant articles. All-day registrations are held as posted.
Women married prior to January 1 must re-register under their marriage name. Naturalized citizens must have their naturalization papers with them when registering.
New residents are requested to notify the Board of Registrars of the date which they take residence in the town. Any change of address within the town during the year should be brought to the attention of the Board so that your name will not be removed from the voting list inadvertently.
In order to keep the voting list as up-to-date as possible, the Board annually compares the voting list with the yearly census. If a voter's name does not appear in the census, it is subject to removal from the voting register.
The Board of Registrars is in the process of transferring all census information to I.B.M. cards in compliance with the Town Manager's directive. This should make for greater accuracy and efficiency.

Planning Board
General Planning:
Review of the Zoning By-law was contined during 1963 to keep it up-to-date and insure the health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of Wilmington through sound and orderly growth. Recognizing that the town is now experiencing rapid residential, industrial, and commercial growth, particular attention was directed to the study of :
1. Proper balance between residential, business, and industrial growth.
2. Available area zoned as Industrial District and its potential for development.
3. The advisability of providing permissive zoning for garden-type apartments.
4. Present and future need for parks and recreation areas.
5. Master Plan by consultant on industrial area, garden-type apartments and street usage.
6. Conservation.
Zoning:
Nine articles pertaining to amendment of the Zoning Map were processed for Town Meeting action. Public hearings were held by the Board in accordance with zoning regulations, and recommendations were made to the Town Meetings.
Plot Plans :
All plans of land to be recorded at the Registry must be signed by the Planning Board eithe as component parts of a subdivision or as plans which do not constitute a subdivision. To determine each lot's status requires detailed scrutiny and checking by means of town record and maps. The Board processes many such plans each meeting.
Subdivision:
Several subdivisions were fully considered after required public hearings. They were accepted after many clarifications and changes had been made. Some of them were: Jackson Heights, Esquire Estates, continuation of Signore, Tocci Subdivision, DeCarolis, etc.
Parks and Recreation:
The Planning Board, as Board of Park Commissioners, completed many improvements at Silver Lake Beach such as: installing new sanitary facilities; enlarging and improving the beach area; more safety regulations for bathers; and first aid. There were also more general improvements for other town recreation.

General:
The Planning Board has appeared at numerous Board of Appeal hearings and Permanent Building Committee hearings offering their services to these Boards if they so desire.
The Planning Board wishes to thank all persons attending meetings and offering their con- structive criticism. This led to a better relationship and understanding of the functions of this Board.

Public Library
The Trustees are pleased to report a substantial increase in the service provided by the Public Library during 1963. Book circulation continued its rapid growth to reach a new high of 61,000, an increase of 11% over the preceding year. This was due in part to the addition of approximately 1, 000 new borrowers. The total number of registered borrowers is now 4, 300, which represents about one-third of the population.
-neady 6,00
It was hoped that the title to the old St. Thomas Church property would be cleared this year so that we could expand our facilities, but this problem has not yet been solved. We trust that 1964 will find the Library in its new quarters.
The Trustees are most appreciative of the generous support given to the Library by the Literature Committee of the Wilmington Women's Club. Among their activities was the Open House held at the Library to mark the commencement of National Library Week in April. At this time they presented a record player for the enjoyment of the children who attend the Story Hours. In October they sponsored a successful book sale to raise money for the bene- fit of the Library, and they are also responsible for maintaining our attractive window boxes.
We also wish to extend our thanks to the Jaycee-ettes who presented fifteen books of current fiction.
The resignation from the Board of Mrs. Marjorie Emery was received with regret. Her contri- butions in effort and enthusiasm were invaluable. We welcome Dr. Ernest Wallent, who was appointed as her successor.
To the Staff, the Trustees express gratitude for their loyalty and hard-working support.

The Story Hour for pre-school children continues to be a popular service. We are most grateful to Mrs. Theodore McKie, Mrs. Bruce MacDonald, and Mrs. Chester Tompkins who so ably and faithfully carry on this work.
There is urgent need for more material, especially in the field of science and technology; but, until such time as more space is available, it is impossible to meet the demand for these and other services.
