TOWN CRIER - WILMINGTON, MASS. SEPTEMBER 7, 1967

Planning Board Reports to Firms

The Wilmington Planning Board last night signed and sent to War- ren Kunz, Avco Veep, and five other persons, representing the five firms which gave money to the town for Planning Use, a report on their activities. The letter read:

September 5, 1967 Mr Warren Kunz Avco Research and Advanced De- velopment, 201 Lowell Street, Wil- mington, Mass. Dear Mr Kunz:

Since we last saw you, at the luncheon In June at the Greer Di- vision of Joy Mfg Company, the Planning Board has undertaken several Important projects for the assurance of a sound future for Wilmington.

We have hired, for the summer, the town's first full-time planner. He is Mr. Steven Bartlett, a Har- vard student in planning, and has been undertaking a land-use study and coordinating other efforts as well as consulting with the Board and State offlclalso.i planning mat- ters.

Another major project now Ini- tiated, Is that of pruuucing an 'Of- ficial Map'. The work has been contracted out to Charles EDowne of West Newton, who has worked previously for the town on the 1960 school study. If the official map does what we think It will do, and If ii is accepted by the Town Meet- ing, it will eliminate all paper streets and prohibit building on other streets not actually In use. This will permit more rational development while excluding build- ing on small, expensive-to-serve lots. Another useful provision Is that it enables the town to plan ahead for Improved traffic circu- lation and recreation. This can be done by reserving park land and street rJghts-of-way (either en- tirely new or widenings) by amend- ment of the official nap.

The '701' application for plan- ning assistance has cleared all state hurdles and Is now awaiting

approval and funding from Wash- ington. The town Is twelfth in priority on a list of thirty-five Massachusetts cities and towns. Prof. Charles W. Eliot, our con- sultant, has been handling the ap- plication and tells us that he has arranged with the Department of Commerce and Development that any money spent prior to the '701 Program; or '701' projects will not reduce the total Federal contri- bution.

If you have any questions or sug- gestions please don't hesitate to let one of us know.

Yours very truly. Sterling C Morris, Town Mana-

ger. A Danlol Gillis, Chairman, Plan-

ning Board.

Elevation Errors Town Engineer Arthur Harding

told the Planning Board, last night, that there were some 'errors' In some of the street elevations in the Woodland Drive - Hansen Road area of Wilmington. The area has been the site of some controversy in past months, because of reports of drainage problems.

Mr Harding said that In some cases the elevation of the street was two feet higher than It was supposed to be.

He recommended that the street be lowered, so as to afford better drainage to house lots In the area. Ten persons from the area were present to hear the report.

One of them asked if any of the •bond money' to guarantee con- struction of the streets, was still left.

Harding said that In 1964 there was a bank book with the Town Clerk for $8500, and that at that time the work to be done was es- timated to be $8100. This figure, he said, should probably be in- creased by 5%, because of the lncreas of construction costs since then.

There is to be a further discus-

sion of the problems of those streets next week. Planning Board secretary Enll Berger requested that the Town Engineer submit a written report, with his recom- mendations.

One of theabuttors asked the Town Engineer how long it would take to bring the road to the pro- per grade. Harding estimated that It could be done In six weeks.

Steve Bartlett The members of the Planning

Board recommended that Steve Bartlett, Harvard Planning Student be continued on a part-time basis, now that the scholastic year has been resuncd. Mr Bartlett has been working on a full-time basis all summer.

It turned out, during the conver- sation, that each of the Planning Board menbers had had the same Idea, and had been talking private- ly of the Idea for which they all voted.

Other Business There was a request from the

Town Manager that Lot 16, on Cyp- ress Street, now town owned, be sold to the owner of Lot 15, as provided In the vote of the Town Meeting last March. The lot Is about 50 feet wide and 100 feet long.

The Board voted to recommend the sale, with the proviso that no building be erected on the lot.

There was also a memorandum from the TM about Del Drive. Abutting owners say that there are rocks and other debris on the street and they want it cleaned up.

Town Engineer Harding said he had been trying to get in touch with the developer, but had been unsuc- cessful. A bond is still good, for the street, he said.

MIKE SHELLEY PROMOTED TO LANCE CORPORAL

Marine Michael L Shelley, son of Mrs Dorothy Shelley, Ranch Road, has been promoted to Lance Cor- poral.

Shelley was recently transferred to an otter (tank) Company, where he drives and repairs tanks and heavy equipment with the First Mar lne Division. He Is stationed about two miles from DaNang Air Base in Vietnam.

Armour Meats? • ■

Back at the time of the Civil War the now Jensen Farm was owned by William E. Gowlng, a well-to-do butcher, who used the bam as a slaughter house.

Mr Gowlng had as a business partner a Mr Armour, of the Town (now City) of Lawrence.

Armour proposed thatthe firm of Gowlng and Armour move to Chi- cago, 'where the cattle are near- by*. Gowlng didn't want to go..

Armour split up with his part- ner, and went to Chicago. Every- one today knows the name of the firm he founded in that city.

exactly good news. Tax rates are never good news. But it Isn't too bad, at that. Many towns have worse.

There was an Inclination on the part of this column to regard this $34 tax rate as a sort of an apex for the town, with a gradual and gentle decline for the next few years. But a little reflection will shown that this cannot be - at least for another year.

Wilmington Is sitting In a good position. For the past several years the first edition of the Town Crier each January has emphasized this fact. It Is Just as true today. Smithcraft Is to build In the Southern Industrial District, and Volkswagen In the new Barbo- Tambone Industrial park off Concord Street. There are others In the offing.

But neither of these firms will affect the 1968 tax rate. There Is little commercial building at the moment which can act favorably on that rate. Don't ever kid yourself Into believing that the taxes paid on homes affect the tax rate favorably.

Meanwhile there Is bad news coming from the New England Underwriters Bureau, the Fire Insur- ance Rating organization of New England.

That organization has been making a survey of the town, on the vote by the annual Town Meeting. The news Is practically all bad from the taxpayers viewpoint. Some representatives of the organization are to make a report next Monday, in the Town Hall, but the entire story probably will not be out for some weeks yet.

What the story will add up to is about $200,000 In additional taxes a year, to support the increased fire-fighting abilities of the town.

There were those who argued last year that the Underwriters Bureau should not be called in, and that the survey should be made by an organization similar to that which surveyed the Police Departnent a few years ago - but minus the personality problem that was brought in at that time.

Partly at least as the result of that survey Wil- mington now has an efficient and smoothly operating Police Department, one of the best in Massachusetts. The survey pointed out the weak spots, not to an out of town organization, but to the Town Fathers and the Police, and the town was able to make corrections without 'washing its linen in public*.

The Underwriters Bureau, whUe it reports to the town, also reports to Itself, and the deficiencies noted will become a part of the town's Fire Insurance costs. At the present time the town has a 'C rating. By next January the town could have a 'D' rating. The effect will be increased insurance costs, not very big, but an Increase, for everyone.

So much for washing the linen In public. The Underwriters Bureau will undoubtedly tell

the Town that there Is a need for a new Fire Station in North Wilmington; that the Town will have to re- place the Pumper with a new one, of 1000 gallons capacity, and that the Fire Department personnel will have to be Increased by about a dozen men.

None of this is new. The Fire Chief has been saying this, or a great part of It, for a few years at least, but economy ha.-; been the watchword, and the Town never voted for the apparatus etc which the Chief wanted. And now it will have to be faced up, for the Underwriters Bureau will be watching.

A new Fire Station - can the town get one for $100,000? Maybe, but not probably.

A new 1000 Gallon Pumper. Can the town buy one for $40,000? Again, maybe but not probably.

And 12 new firemen (If that is the number re- commended). That would cost the town In the vici- nity of $75,000. a year.

$200,000 is perhaps a conservative figure. The town Is growing. The problems will have to be faced.

AN IRONIC TALE

Henry Jensen is the gentleman of Andover Street who owned the barn which has become the latest vic- tim of the Arsonist's torch. Mr. Jensen has some peculiar problems, Just a little bit more peculiar than do the rest of his townsfolk.

He happens to be one of the very few persons who Is paying directly for that wild dream of half a dozen years ago - the 'Lightning Might Strike' re- zonlng, in North Wilmington.

The street on which he lives has a six inch water main, which almost adequately serves the residents of that street. True, there were only two hoses that could get to full pressure, at the Tuesday night fire, but that barn was a 'goner' at the time the fire was discovered, and a dozen hoses could not have saved it. As things stand, as the old Joke goes, the Fire Department did save the Foundation.

Back from Florida, after a two weeks vacation are the Lester Smith Jr., famUy of Faulkner Ave. His brother Douglas accompanied them on the trip.

This Tuesday morning there was a phone call from a lovely lady on Lowell Street. Seems that she saw a dead cat on the Woburn St, Inter- section on the Avco Side on Friday, and then she ran the tour. Being

a good citizen and making an effort to help, and It not being her cat, she called the gendarmes and I under- stand that her reception was any-

I thing but cordial, she called the Dog Officer and he was out of town. Called the Police again, the same treatment, with referral to the Highway Dept. Couldn't get the Highway Dept. over the weekend and this morning, the cat was still there, so she called the Highway Department and they politely told her that that wasn't their Job to call the Dog Officer, who Is stlli away. So desperately she called this gal. This gal called the Town Manager, who was his usual courteous self, and it was Imme- diately taken care ot Perhaps we ought to hire a couple of the kids at the Drop Committee to take care of the dead animals over the week- ends. Last week, or two weeks ago, I had to call the honorable James and the Chairman of the Board promptly took care of lt, but Pd like to know why the TM or Mr. Mlcell on weekends or holiday .vw* Do you think something can be done about that, Boys? There's nothing like citizens trying to help, and then gettl ig extremely frus- trated and excited, as well as Insulted. And we need them—all them thar taxpayers—every living one! Particularly the ones that are Interested enough to keep an eye out and do something In this town. How about that Fellas''

One on Danger List

Three Boys Injured in

Stolen Car Chase

T01N CRIER - WILMINGTON, MASS. SEPTEMBER 7. 1967 PAGE SEVEN

Three Wobum youths, all juve- niles, are In the hospital as the result of an accident on Burling- ton Avenue last Thursday evening.

Police say they were driving a stolen car, stolen in Stoneham that same morning.

All three were taken to the Choate Memorial Hospital In Wo- bum, and from there the driver, who was 15, was taken to the Mass General Hospital In Boston, where his name was placed on the Danger List. He Is reported to be suf-

fering from a fractured skull. The two other boys are reported as being 16 years old.

The car, a 1964 Chevrolet con- vertible, was first seen by Officer James Cuoco about 10 pm, parked In back of the Wilmington Builders Supply Company on Main Street.

Officer Cuoco started to walk over to the car, to question the occupants, and It was driven off at a high rate of speed, towards Wilmington Square. It turned onto Burlington Avenue, with Cuoco In a Police Cruiser pursuing.

Cuoco reported that Just before the accident the car was being driven at speeds of over 70 mph.

Rotary Club

It swerved to the left, and struck a tree, Just before getting to Va- dala's Market, on the Wllnlngton Burlington line.

Assisting Cuoco in the chase were Patrolman Fred Ward and Sergeant George Shepard of the Wilmington Police.

Arraignment Is to be In the Ju- venile Session of-Woburn District Court, on Sept. 19th.

Community Fund To Receive $1400

The Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Wilmington yester- day voted to present the Wilmington Community Fund with a check for $1411.

The money had been In a Rotary account in the Reading Savings Bank for some years, and repre- sented funds raised for the es- tablishment and operation of the Wilmington Dental Clinic. At least part of the money had been an or-

ton High School who drive their cars to the school parking lot, each morning.

A meeting is being scheduled for October 4th at which the pros and cons of the Idea will be de- bated with school authorities.

The proposal was first made five years ago, but never acted upon. In yesterday's School Opening the only trouble encountered was the excessive number of automobiles on Church Street, just before 8 am.

Teachers were driving to work, pupils were driving their cars to school, and seemingly several hun- dred parents were driving their children to school. There was, the Chief says 'a bind'.

He thinks that If a large T for Teacher, and a large S for Pupil were to be printed, and put on the visor of the cars which are to turn Into the parking lot, there would be much less trouble. The School Crossing Officer would then know which cars to 'wave' In to the parking lot, and thus get them out of the way.

Other than the 'bind' on Church Street opening day was very un- eventful, considering that many children had to be transferred from one district to another, to avoid overcrowding of classrooms, until the Woburn School addition has been completed.

The average size of each class, the Superintendent of Schools says, Is smaller than It was one year ago at this time.

A total of 4562 pupils attended school on the first day.

President John Ella of the Wil- mington Rotary Club has been ha- ving the new members tea their life story to the members, during the weekly luncheons for the two past monts. Each speaker was al- lotted three minutes. Yesterday was the turn of Sterling C Morris, Town Manager of Wilmington, and a past president of the St, Albaus Vermont club. Morris' story, ap- proximately as related:

I was born In Aroostook County, In the State of Maine, on St. Val- entine's Day In 1924. When I was seven we moved to Bangor, where, because of the difference In the schooling, I had to be set back one grade.

I am wnat Is known today as a 'High School Dropout' because I left school In my senior year to enlist In the US Army Air Corps. But I had had some additional schooling in Mount Hebron Acade- my.

Being In the Air Corps gave me a chance to see the United States. I trained In Texas, and at Ham IV- con Air Base In California, and then volunteered for duty before I

had finished advanced training, and was shipped to Alaska, where I be- came a part of the 11th Air Force.

Wo were stationed on a little Is- land that Is not to be seen on many maps. It was out, near the end of the Aleutian Islands. It was one mile long and half a mile wide, and just big enough to get a heavy bomb- er Into the air. I was an Engineer, and Turret Gunner, on a B-24.

You didn't read much about it in the papers, but our Job was to bomb naval bases In the Kurlle Islands, which are the northernmost Islands of Jaj>an. We were particularly In- terested in a big naval base there.

It was on one of those bombing trips that the plane was' shot down, and I became a prisoner of the Ja- panese. I succeeded In escaping

FROM THE

BOX SEAT Do you think the Red Sox would

like to have Earl Wilson back as much as Gil Hodges would like Mike McCormlck?

Boosters meeting Monday at the High School at 8 PM. All are wel- come.

A preseason look at VQmlngton ■ High football purveys an air of op- timism. Coach Belllsslm6 peren- nially fields an aggressive, rugged defense, whether his material is a helping of 120 pound tackles or an end zone full of behemoths. The key to the 1967 offense, how- ever, Is senior quarterback Billy Walls. BUI hasn't been cheated at the training table, possessing enough size to play at tackle. His arm Is strong. His reflexes, agility and savvy are more than adequate. If his execution is any- where near Its potential this year, the team can be noticeably stronger

The Manchester (nee Nashua) Colts are off to an unusually slow start.

Pop Warner looks menacingly strong again this year. The lads manhandled the squads of Woburn and Newton In scrimage, while tu- ning up for their first pre-season game Sunday. Connie Barry's Chargers will meet Belmont at Wilmington High School Field at 1:30.

Nol Dr. Fagan IsnotDr. Fager's doctor!

Tony C. showed his team spirit by heading to the Catskills for a tennis lesson while the rest of the team battled it out. Any guy who cared about his team would have been right there with themfor at least moral support. All Tony cares about is Tony. They're bet- ter off without him.

Watch for fat, listless Joe Foy to go in the off season for John Roseboro or Bob Rodgers.

I enjoyed the commentary of Curt Gowdy and Paul Chrlstman in de- scribing how old pro Babe Parllll 'picked the young Denver defense to pieces'. Can you name any team In the history of the game that would have stuck with a passer having such a pathetic day? Parllll as expected, blamed his receivers, further exemplifying his spineless character.

Hear tell that there Is a big hor- net's nest at the corner of Pine- wood Road. One of the residents called this gal. After calling all of the departments, she was going to call the Tree Department and see If they could do something about it. It wouldn't be so bad, but evidently the neighborhood kids' hobby Is heaving rocks at it which makes the hornets plenty mad, to say nothing of the resi- dents.

There's another thing that has been called to our attention this week. The fish trucks proceeding down Lowell St to Woburn St and the chemical plants are overloaded. They have neither covers nor any other protection from the hot rays of the sun and the odor Is 'putri- flc\ Seems like something should be done about that. Tried to find out the name of the trucking com- pany to call, but seems that these trucks are not labeled or marked In any way. Is that legal?

PA6E TWELVE TOWN CRIER - WILMINGTON, MASS. SEPTEMBER 7, 1967

Arson Case #21? or #22?

Arson Case # 21, or Arson Case #22, in recent years, In the Town of Wilmington, depending on bow the count is made, was the pro- bable answer for the Ore which destroyed the barn of Henry Jen- sen, Tuesday night, on Andover Street.

Fire Chief Arthur Boudrean has

not yet finished his Investigation, and will not affirm that the cause was arson, but other officials in the town hold onto the belief, as does Mr. Jensen. "The fire was noticed at about

11 pm Tuesday, from several dif- ferent sites. Officer Jimmy Cuo- co, driving a Police Cruiser on Interstate Route 93 was the first to give the alarm, by police radio. Mr Jensen was awakened by his

son Arthur, and at that time the barn was already a mass of flames with the back burning more fierce- ly than the front.

Chief Boudreau, driving from his home on North Street, could see the flames before he reached Middlesex Avenue. He was the first to arrive, of the Wilmington firemen.

A six inch water main on An- dover Street could not supply more

than two fire hoses, and other ho- ses had to be rigged from the Wo- burn Street hydrants, and from the Brown's Crossing Pumping Station about 1400 feet away.

Apparatus from three towns as- sisted at the blaze, and there were hundreds of spectators. The barn was a total loss.

In the barn was a 1915 carriage, in excellent condition, for which Mr. Jensen had recently refused

an offer of $1500. (It probably cost two or three hundred dollars when It was made.

A retired cabinet maker, Mr Jensen had a complete workshop in the barn, along with many tools, all of which was lost. He had Just completed making a set of mull- ions, for a new greenhouse he was planning to erect.

The barn was underlnsured, for only $1000.

RARE OLD CHARCOAL DRAWINGS OF THE JENSEN FARM

«V

A CHARCOAL DRAWING: By J. F. Gil man, and dated 1871, which was probably made for William E. Gowing, and was the property of the grandfather of Wilmington's Board of Health Chairman, Jimmy Durkee. The scene Is looking sooth, on Andover Street.

From the upper window of the barn, in this picture, a young lady, name unknown, but who was alive Just a few years ago, used to sit and

count the cattle being led into the slaughter house. She was employed as a book keeper by William E Gowing.

The nearest building at right, at right angles to the street, is said to have been the old North School, which stood in the triangle between Woburn and Andover Streets, years before the drawing was nade. It Is now a part of the Jensen farmhouse.

ANOTHER CHARCOAL DRAWING! Also by Mr Gilman, shows the scene facing north. Notice the train In the background, on the old Salem and Lowell Railroad Track, later called At sworth Road.

TOIN CBIER - WILMINGTON, MASS. SEPTEMBER 7, 1967 PAGE THIRTEEN

(FROM PAGE FIVE)

But Mr Jensen's problem Is not with his water main, even though he may consider himself aggrieved on that point.

First, the land he owns is a part of the Water Shed, for the Brown's Crossing Pumping Station. He pays taxes that Is, on land that is really of service not to himself, but to the town. But he bought that land, and perhaps he had his eyes open. If not, they must be open now.

Second, and of more emphasis, he is paying for a part of the water-main that Is going up what was once voted to be Alnsworth Road. He owns land ad- jacent, and has to pay 'Betterments', even If he does not get any benefit. Even without the later develop- ments, that Is an ironic situation.

Alnsworth Road was a part of the 'Lightning Might Strike' resuming of half a dozen years ago. The street was voted, at the request of the Town Manager etc to be put In, on Betterments. The water ri»i, too, as related, was by Betterments.

And while the Water Department was (and Is) pretty efficient, the government of the town, half a dozen years ago, was woefully Inefficient,

Many Street Betterments were not recorded in the Registry of Deeds, In Lowell - what this paper once called the 'Non Kosher Street Betterments'.

And only recently It has been discovered that the Alnsworth Road street Betterment was not re- corded. As a result it has been stricken from the list of Accepted Streets, in Wilmington.

Now it has reverted to being Just what it was be- fore that 'Lightning Might Strike' re zoning.

The lady from Boston who got the idea, and con-

vinced the then TM and a few others that it was a key to the future development of Wilmington did give the town $2000 to pay for the land taking of that right-of- way, which was owned by John Robert Evans.

She was a smart lady, far smarter than was the then TM and his friends. It was not she who pulled the rug out from under the town - It was the lacka- daisical government of half a dozen years ago.

Mr Evans, it can be noted, never received any money, for his land. It looks as though he never will. And now that it is no longer an accepted street, does Evans own It again?

If he does, does he own the light poles? Does he own the water main which goes over his land? Could he, maybe put up a barrier, and charge toll from the people who are 'trespassing' on 'his pro- perty'?

All that may well be. But the real rub comes for Henry Jensen. He Is paying, still, for that water betterment.

Ironic, isn't it?

Two major problems In early days of su -gery were shock and Infection. Effective anesthesia was not developed until late in the 19th Century. Patients un- dergoing surgery were either conscious, physically knocked unconscious, or In a state of complete inebriation.

In any case, the pain of in- cision and Internal cutting usu- ally got through to them. Th ? i"-suit in the overwhelmingnum bar of cases was shock so deep that the patient died immediate- ly or soon after the operation.

Today surgery is one of the more gifted and most promising branches of medicine. Opera- tions considered 'major' Just 15 years ago are now handled as routine procedures. Operating nortallties are very rare.

It is also rare to find a phar- macy with so much to offer you. Besides a complete line of cos- metics, Whitman and Candy Cupboard chocolates, greeting cards, etc., the Silver Lake Pharmacy offers you the finest and most complete prescription department Call 658-4617 for all of your medical supplies.

to Russia, and I spent seven months in that country.

In seven months In a foreign country you can learn to speak the language pretty well, and I learned to speak Russian, although I could not read and write the language, because of the different alphabet.

I traveled the length of Russia and at the end of seven months I found myself In Tashkent, which Is above Afghanistan, and has been In the news recently because of diplomatic meetings there.

There was an American organi- zation which 'bought' me out of Russia, and I went across the Ara- bi.in Mountains Into Iran, ending up In the capital city of Taheran.

There the FBI took me over. The FBI was interested in two

BOARD OF SELECTMEN PUBLIC HEARING

Notice is hereby given that a pub- lic hearing will be held In the Town Hall at 7 pm on Thursday, Sept- ember 7, 1967, at the offices of the Board of Selectmen, in com- pliance with the provisions of Chapter 131, Section 117C, on the application of the Wilmington De- velopment Company, Inc. 39 Emer- son Road, Waltham, to remove, Ull, or dredge a bank, flat, marsh, meadow or swamp bordering on an inland water, in a portion of apar-

groups of people coming out of Rus- sia, and I was in one of those two groups. They took me back to the United States, so that I made a trip around the world.

After the war I went to the Uni- versity of Maine, where I took up Government. I figured I owed the Government a lot, for getting me out of Russia. A lot of people who were In Russia were never heard of again.

After four years I graduated, and then I went back to Aroostook Coun- ty to go Into business there.

But after four or five years I realized that my heart wasn't In the business, and I wanted to be in the thing I was trained for - Govern- nent.

So I became the Town Manager of a small town In Maine, and then later of Camden, Maine, which is a nice seacoast town, whch many of you Rotarians may have visited.

In i960 the City of St. Albans, In Vermont, offered me more.mo- ney, and I figured I needed to broad- en my experience, so I went there. I figured that I had had sufficient experience to know what a City Ma- nager should do.

I liked It In St. Albans. I spent seven years there. But the time finally came when I had to look anead. Every family has to, from time to time, assess Itself, and I figured I had to go somewhere for my children's education.

So I applied for a Job in a place I had never heard of, In Wilming- ton. I didn't know anything of the area arouid Boston, although my wlf.j did, because she attended Re- gis College.

A month passed by, and I fi- gured I wa- forgotten, but thenono day Charlie Black and Jim Micell came to St. Albans, and began to ask people how they liked me.

The people all seemed co have given good reports. Perhaps the people who could say bad things of me were out of town that day.

Now I am here In Wilmington, and I like it, although I am still feeling my way around. The go- vernment here in Wilmington is more complicated than the govern- ment I am used to. One result of this is tha: it Is slower.

I have heard it said that you had some discussions about why Town Managers left Wilmington. I am not going into that, but I am build- ing here, and I hope to stay here.
