FRED CAIN SAYS BIDDING SYSTO4 WRONG

Fred F. Cain, of Fred F. Cain Inc. told the Board of Select men Monday night that there were things wrong with the sys tern of purchasing automobiles by the Town of Wilmington. Mr. Cain was accompanied on his trip to the Selectmen by his attorney, Jim Henchey of Wo- burn, and his son Fred D.Cain, all of whom took part in the conversation. Cain divided his conversation

ccocerning bids into two parts one being the general system employed by Wilmington's Town Managers for several years past, and the other concerning the award of two cruisers for the police department this year. In the second part Cain

charged that the award for the purchase of two police cruiser cars to the Wilmington Ford Company was irregular and not in the best interests of the town. Citing figures from the bids

of both himself and the Wil- mington Ford Agency, Cain told the Wilmington Selectmen that the Ford bid was unable to meet specifications, and further stated that the prices shown on the bid were for in- dividual cars, while they had been accepted for two cars. Referring specifically to the

specifications called fcr re- cently, Cain stated that the Ford company does not make cars, police cars cr any other kind with leather seats, yet a bid had been accepted by the town in which leather seats were specified by the local Ford agent as 'standard for police cars' .

Cain had put in an optional bid of $30 fox leather seats, and tdd the Selectmen that be cause Ford was stating that their company furnished lea- ther, which they didn't, he was en ti tl ed tea $30 al 1 ow - ance.

WILMINGTON'S SEWER LINE

Two events tftaJch happened in the past week now make it apparent that ah ait August first the first sewer line of the Town of Wilmington will have been completed, and that by the time two years have passed there will be a large se- wer line, going through Winchester and Woburn to the Wilmington line.

As is reported elsewhere in this paper the Governor has signed the act which all cws Wil- mington to set up its own sewer district, and to borrow $500,000 in excess of the debt limit to finance this operation.•

As is also reported in this paper, the open- ing of the bids for the construction of the first part cf the sewer line o ecu red last Thur- sday.' The town was very fortunate in getting a bid slightly in excess <f .$84,875 .• Whitman & Howard, the engineering firm who prepared the specifications-had estimated that the cost would be somewhere between $103,000 and $115, 000.

The new sewer line, tot be of 16 inches in diameter, will go up Woburn Street as far as the AVC0 pr<perty, where it will connect with a pumping station to be built by AVC0, and to be paid for by that firm.

A second sewer line, which might be called the main line, is to follow roughly the tracks of the Boston & Maine railroad, towards Wilming tai Square, and eventually tpwards Silver Lake, but that is still a move for future time and days.

There are some remarkable events in the his- tory of the Wilmington sewer legislation which should be noted.'

In the first place Wilmimgton has been par- ticularly fortunate. Two years ago the legisla- tors of the Boston area rose in rebellion a- galnst attempts to extend the Metropolitan Sew- erage District to several towns southward of Boston.

At that time Wilmington already had had per- mission to join the MDC, a fact that was not widely known. Perhaps if it had been known the Boston Legislators would have haa7 it revoked, as it had not yet been accepted by the Town.'1

When the present bill was being considered there were Boston Legislators who thought it was a repetition of the events of 1956, and they sought tc block it, in the State House.The Corporation Counsel for the City of Boston set them aright, and opposition faded away.

At .the same time the people <f Winchester be?an to evince alarm. The present sewer, which

gees through that town is quite "overloaded' and the Winchester Star published a piece in their paper which evidenced the alarm that was felt in that town.

But the fears of Winchester and Wchurn have now been allayed." Representative Tom Donahue, a week ago, in a speech, told the people of those two towns that they had nothing to worry about - that the Metropolitan District was o- bliged to build a 36 inch sewer line to the Wilmington line within two years, a line that waild solve problems . <f both Winchester and Wo- burn.' This line will have to be built as a re- sult . cf Wilmington's joining the system, and in addition to being a boone to Wilmington is, as may be seen, an asset tc both Wcburn and Win- chester."

The 1954 Act of the Legislature, which pro- vided for the sewer line in Woburn and Winches- ter was the most favorable legislation ever voted for the Town of Wilmington, not tc men- tion Woburn and Winchester. It had been Intro- duced by Representative Frank Tanner and the late Charles Wilkinson.

It is a safe thing tc say that never again will the Legislature pass such an act. Senti- ment today is against such legislation, and such sentiment is bound to increase as time goes on.

We don't know if Mr. Buzzell wrc ce that par- ticular bit of legislation, or Mr. Cushing, or perhaps someone in the office--of Whitman & How- ard, but, as far as Wilmington, Winchester and Wcburn is concerned,it was the work of a genius

POLITICS AS UNUSUAL

Omens and portents for tell an unusually ac- tive year in the 18th Middlesex District, as far as politics is concerned. For the first time in years this district has split represen- tation - one Republican and one Democrat, in the lower house of the State Legislature, a fact that may be a little heady tc the Demo- crats hut certainly is depressing to the Re- publicans.

On the state level the Republicans have al- ready given notice that they are determined to do everything possible this year to ensure that people of their party are elected to seats in the legislature, and when one consrders that Mr. Donohue, the Democrat, won by a majority of 89 votes it can be certainly stated that the Republicans will do every thing possible to get his seat.

TOWN NOTES Wsathsr

A cold and wet April, more like March than anything else. Our spring planting season is about two weeks behind sche- dule, and the spring flowers too, are late. We have seen a few tulips, but nothing to brag about yet. Sunday's forecast was for

showers, and in our lexicon that means a steady downpour, which it turned out to be.

10 Rrand The firm which probably will

get the bid for the new sewer system is the Lazzaro Company In the last hour before the bids were opened, we are told, they cut their price $10,000, to the $84000 plus reported in this paper. (We can't guaran- tee the truth of the statement but we believe our informant)

Lazzaro has been doing a lot of work in Lexingtcn recently, and reports from that town state that it is a very good firm, from the townspoeples viewpoint - careful nf their work, and always seeking to disturb the people along a project as little as possible.

One of our Lexingtoc friends is positively enthusiastic a- bout the people - "best con- tractors we ever saw come into a town' was the way he put it.

Pithing Lousy, that's the word. The

cold weather, the flooded swamps, everything conspires to keep those little finny fellows in their native ele- ment.

A few trout have been caught downstream from Glen Road, in Lubbers Brook, and thats a- bout all. One or two have worked their way downstream to the Wildcat Railroad, and one was caught near Middlesex Ave. but most of them are upstream in Lubbers Brook, above Glen Road.

The best place for the kid- dies to go, if they just want to catch fish, and don't care what it is is the Town Beach. There are plenty of 'kibbies alongside the n»w beach which the town has just made this spring. We watched one young- ster pull up about a dozen in 20 minutes, using the worm and hnoHpr technicue.

Torpedoed

Wilmington's most famous car, the 1958 Ford which Eddie De- Angelis won at Steven's Super Market just a few weeks ago was torpedoed at 10:30 am Mon- day, in Wilmington Square. Skipper DeAngelis was driv-

ing at the time. The car had stopped on Main Street for a red light, and a lady backing out of a driveway ( with the back window fogged up because of the rain ) rammed the car amidships. The oar is now in drydock.

An other Letter Last week's Town Crier re-

ported a letter that had been read in the Selectmen' s meet- ing about odors, and how the Chairman of the Board of Health had spent twenty min- utes, and had asked neighbors, etc, etc. The Selectmen got a letter a-

bout that letter, when one of our readers saw it in the pa- per. It was from a neighbor, who

Daniel E. McLean, Chairman of the Republican State Committee is highly aware of the impor- tance of the coming election, fr on the Repub- lican viewpoint." If this year sees a Democratic Raise and a Democratic Senate, and if Governor Furcolo is reelected a redistricting cf the House and Senate seats can be expected. The districts have not been redrawn since 1948, and are due to be redrawn now. Nothing c culd be mere distasteful to the Republican party than to' have the Democrats do this job by themselves

On the Democrat side the awareness of the situation is just as keen. United States Sena- tor Jack Kennedy has bestcwed his blessing on T(tm Donohue, and is taking a personal interest in the 18th Middlesex District. He is und cubt- ed ly planning to assist Ton, ccme the fall e- lection, far he is appointing assistants right down to the precinct level - a sure sigh of a political storm abrewing.

Mr. Donohue, of cocurse, will be the target f cr the Republican guns. As a newly elected Representative he has a certain vulnerability, and at the same time a certain strength, but it will be around him that the storms will circle. Even before the election itself the local Re- puhlicans may be expected tc have their own intra-party fights, as they vie for the honor of tilting with Mr. Donohue.

NOW THAT APRIL HAS PASSED

News is supposed to consist of reporting cf the things that have happened. S onetimes, it so happens, it is also the reporting of things that did not happen.

For the first time in years, there was no meeting of the Chairman of the Board of Select- men, the Moderator, and the Chairman of the Finance Committee, during the month of April, to nominate new members for the Finance Conmittee.

We don't know, maybe it was an oversight, but anyway it is news. There is some talk that there is dissension as to who should be ap- pointed to this committee, talk which may be true, and which may be so much h ct air.

A second thing which we thought might happen in April, and which didn't was a move to settle the quest! <n of how tc get water to Fairmeadow Road.

It will be remembered that the Town of Tewks bury has voted to stop servicing all watermains that do not lie within the limits of that town, and that the Fairmeadow Road, Jere Road water- main is one of those. The Wilmington Selectmen and Water Commissioners were able to convince the Tewksbury officials tc continue service on these mains until July 1, 1958, so as to give Wilmington a chance to install mains up Nichols Street. The Water Commissioners had, as part of their articles in the annual Town Meeting warrant a request Toy installing watermains on Nichols Street.' It was voted down, at the re- quest of some of the Nichols Street residents.-

Now time is running short. Only two months remain for a course of acti on to be decided on, and then to implement that action. If nothing happens in that time we predict that there will be an awful howl from Fairmeadow uoad ab ait July 2, 1958.

OLID SALESMEN

Mothers of newly born babies in Wilmington have recently been approached by glib salesmen representing an out of town photographic studio These salesmen convince the ladies that a pic- ture of their baby should be taken. Often, when the 1: 111 arrives (h° mother learns for the first time that the bill is far greater than she be'Ueved it would be.

There is nothing wrong with the pictures. Technically speaking they are c empetent, and the prices actually charged are not ait of rea- son.

It is merely that the salesmen lead the la- dies to believe that they are getting a real bargain, when in fact they are paying the full priee for the pictures. The 'discounts' and •coupons' offered have no real ultimate meaning

The ladies would be wise to get a written statement, telling the whole c cst, before they sign up for the service.

of Selectmen have been hearing a lot about Manning Road, a street that leads off Shaw- sheen Avenue. A private way, it is a muddy and rutty affair which had the misfortune of being torn up by a sn,owplow last winter.

The residents of the street have been up in arms about it, and have let the Selectmen know their feelings on several occasions. Last Saturday one cf Wilming- tu's fire trucks was stuck on the street, as it responded to a small brush fire.

Monday the town fixed the street, and it was so reported at the Selectmen' s meeting. Chairman Hagerty had his quip

when he heard the report: 1 didn' t have anybody call me up tc say it was done' he said.

The Figures Cain cited his bid for two 2 ioor sedans at Net $1788.00, and Fords Net at $1994.28 telling the Selectmen that if the bid had been accepted as such the town would save $206.

At the ti^e of the opening of bids it was apparant, Cain stated, that the Plymouth was the lower priced car. Yet, he continued, after his repres- entative had left the prices on the extras were made tc ap- pear so that Plymouth lost.

Ford, he said, was selling two Fordonatic transmissions for the price of one. Ford, he stated, could not supply the type of brakes called for in the specifications, nor the type of wheel. Ford, he also stated, had ne-

glected to state the amount of the excise tax which had been deducted, as clearly called

used in this particular matter and we are not happy ab ait it'

Kirs'. Wavie Drew objected to hearing or discussing the mat- ter, without the Acting Town Manager being present (Cala- brese is in Connecticut attend mg a National Assessors Con- vention).

Attacks System Cain also attacked the system

in use for some years, of cal - ling £or bids, by the town of Wilmington, saying that it was something that the average auto dealer shunned. He main- tained that Wilmington should call for bids in the same man- ner as other municipalities, and if it did so it would get more bids. **hat good is com- petitive bidding,' he asked, if the town ends up by having only one bidder?'

Unfair to Ford Atty Henchey told the Select-

men that the acceptance of Fords bid, in which the town was apparantly getting two •Ford cnatic' drives, costing about $200 apeice for the price of $148.50 was *unfair to Ford'. 'Accepting the bid because of the way it happened to be written is taking an un- fair advantage' he said.

Calabrese's Statement While Acting Town Manager

Fred Calabrese was not present during the discussion he had told some of the Selectmen that the bid he had accepted had saved the town about $48. 'and it is important that the

Town Manager save money for the town'.

He had, he told the Selectmen checked the figures with Town Counsel Philip Buzzell, with cut naming the two companies, and had been assured that in accepting the 1 over bid, after consideration of the extras, he was acting within the law. La- ter, he told the Selectmen, he had again checked with Mr. Buzzell, who had reaffirmed his previous statement.

Ford' s Statement Ben Restuccia. of the Wilming

ton Ford company told the Town Crier that when he specified leather seats in the car he was prepared to deliver them.

'If Mr. Cain wants the cars,' he said "we'll step out of the picture and let him have them'

STER ON JUNE 14TH.

The general public will not be involved, but the heads of Civil Defense in Wilmington, and other workers will assem- ble at Civil Defense headquart ers in the Town Hall. It is not expected that there

will be too much activity dur- ing the first few hours. It is thought however that after 4pm Tuesday things will really be humming in the basement of Wilmington's old Town Hall

Test for Wardens Included in the test will be

a drill for the Wardens of the Wilmington Civil Defense team, now recently enlarged.

From headquarters messages on the radiological situation, damage, etc will be radioed to Zone Wardens, who will have strategic command posts in var ious parts of the town. The Zone Wardens in turn will a- lert the Block Wardens, who will pass on the messages to Street Wardens, who are sup- posed to warn the general pub- lic in their area - but will not, during the present exer- cise.

The main test that Director LaRivee is interested in, in the coming alert, is to find out how long it takes to get information to the general public. It will be his first real

tej* of his Block Warden sys- tem.

He further says, 'Is it too much then to assume a possi - bility of being told after Government pays for part of the building of cur schools, pays for part of the education that we are going to give our young people a certain kind of education and that unless we d c, we are going to have the money cut off?

MIDDLESEX COUNTY P/NK INAUGURATES LOAN

PR0TECTICN

The Middlesex County National Bank has inaugurated an addit- ional service for the protect- ion of installment loans made at any of the bank' s 16 offices throughout the county. Effective May 1, Life Insur-

ance protection will be pro- vided to cover the unpaid bal- ance of each qualified person- al loan up to a maximum of $5,000 made after that date. This insurance protection

means that in the event of the borrower's death, any out- standing unpaid balance will automatically be paid in full. His family or estate will not be burdened with the obliga- tion of paying the outstanding unpaid balance at the time of death. This valuable added service

is underwritten by the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, and will apply to the increasing number of install- ment loans being made by the benk for the purchase of auto- mobiles, appliances, to con- solidate bills, meet medical expenses or taxes and for many other worthwhile expenditures.

The Middlesex County National Bank invites its patrons to call at any of their 16 branch locations and get full details of the additional service being offered.

WILMINGTON'S ANCIENT VOLCANO

Few persons who drive to Wo- bum and Boston by »y of Main Street realize, when they get to the Woburn-Wilmington line that they are passing an an- cient volcano - the only one that ever existed within the present bounds of the Town of Wilmington. Across Main Street from Char-

lie' s Service Station is a hill known many years ago as Cook Hill, on one side of the Hill is Cook Avenue. On the o- ther. facing Woburn, is a cliff of basaltic rock. On top where it may be seen princi- pally in spring time is a slight depression, which fills with water in the spring rains - the throat of the ancient volcano, up which was thrown hundreds of thousands of tons of molten lava - all of this being millions and millions of years ago. There is no danger that the

volcano will ever erupt. It 'can be recognized for what it is only by persons trained in geology. The history of the land which

is now Wilmington began about five hundred million years ago when what is now New England emerged from the ancient seas. Beneath the land which emerged there was hot molten material, known as magma. This magma kept trying to force its way to the surface, jt wpuld ex- plore and find cracks, rise and cool into enormous piles of rock - rock that we today call granite.

The ftiincy Granites were form ed at this time, and granites all over New ^jigland. The type and grade of granite depended entirely on how close to the earth' s surface the molten mag mas were able to get. As the magma was close to the surface it cooled rapidly, and formed a fine granite. If it did not get too close it tajk long er to cool, and became course granite.

In the days of which we are writing there was no Boston Harbor, it had yet to be -nade by the sinking of the Boston Basin, but it was as a direct result of that sinking that the volcanoes of Eastern Mass- achusetts were formed - .vol- canoes in Woburn, Winchester, and Reading, and one only in Wilmington. After the granites of which

we have spoken had been formed there was a new geol cgic era in what is now the Boston Sub- urbs, one in which the Pudding Stones of Roxbury were formed. The seas had again covered the land. Slates were formed in some places, from clays that were deposited on the bottom of that sea. In Wilmington the soils that were deposited be- came schist, although not much of it exists today - that which doss exist can mostly be found in South Wilmington from Wood Hill, over by the Burling t ai line, to Suncrest Acres, off West Street. Schist is a soft stone, which

breaks easily into layers, an important feature, for it was this tendency, together with others which lead to the bank- ruptcy of a Nevada firm which only tried to drill through the rocks of Wilmington's vol- cano.

The hard coals of Eastern Pennsylvania, and the soft coal8 of Western Pennsylvania and other regions were laid down during this same period, in which the pudding stones and schists were laid down in New ^gland - hence the period is known as the Carboniferous Period.

Whan Boston Sank All of what is today Boston

harbor and the nearby cities once sank for thousands of feet, as the result ofthe weights of the rocks in the area. The hole which resulted (and has since nearly^filled) can easily be marked off. in such places as Maiden, Arling ton and the Blue Hills.

The sinking of the land in and near Boston was a gradual process which took thousands of years. There was great stress and strain in the near by hills. Cracks and curves appeared in the rocks. Through these cracks the

mclten rocks beneath found a way to escape to the surface, and dozens of volcanoes appeared around Boston. In the vicinity of Woburn

there were dozens of volcanoes all pouring thousands of tons of lava and basalt upon the surface of the earth. Three vdcanoes surrounded what is now Wobum Center. Horn Pond Mountain, now the reservoir of the City of Wobum. was a vol- cano, the water being stored in the old volcano mouth. The hill known as Blueberry Hill, on the Wobum-Winchester line, was a volcano, and during the past sixty or seventy years has supplied hundreds of thou-

.sands of tons of rock for road building from the ojiarry there

The northern most of these volcanoes was, as we have just said, just north of the Wobum -Wilmington line, today called Cooks' Hill. It is a mere shadow of its

foimer self, for the ice ages, which began about one million years ag ( ground down what had been an imposing mountain into a small hill - but the lava rock, the basalt, and the throat of the v cleano can still be seen. The most interesting point

to be seen without climbing the hill is the cut which the edge of the hill, about 1927 when Koin Street was relocated. Previously Main Streethad

run around the hill and around a pond known as Squaw Pond, which was filled in at that time. (The name Squaw Pond arose

from the accidental killing of an Indian woman there in 1705, a fact which resulted in the Hamden Massacre in 1706 -but that is another story). A contracting firm from Nevada took the contract of cutting through the rock filling Squaw pond and making the. new highwaj This firm went bankrupt becausi of the nature of the rock left by the volcano -drilling into rock that wouldn't take drills The rock in the cut is a mix- ture of granite, schist and lava and the drills refused to go into the lava, but turned towards the 'softer rock in- itM* The NBvada firm couldn' t keep

their drills in good condition, and went bankrupt in the pro- cess.

Ask Bids for Highway Link

Bids are asked today for the construction of another major link of Interstate Rte. 98 (Relocated Rte. 28).

State Public Works Commis- sioner Anthony N. DiNatale said the section will cost more than $4,000,000 and will close the gap between contracts now under con- struction.

The section to be advertised for] bids will begin in Wilmington near Rte. 62 and run northerly through a corner of Tewksbury to a point near Dascomb road in Andover, a distance of. 3.5 miles.

Seven bridges will be con- structed. One bridge will span the Shawsheen River; another will carry the proposed Rte. 135 ex- tension over the expressway. Vale st, at the Tewksbury-Andover line, will be bridged and, where the ex- pressway will cross the railroad twice, double bridges will be con- structed at each crossing to carry the divided highway over the tracks.

This project will boost the un- der-constructlon mileage to six- teen of an ultimate 26-mile, $80,- 000,000 super highway between a point near Boston and the New

GIRL SCOUTS TOUR HARVARD Girl Soouts.bf troop 108 went

on a tour at Harvard College April 23. Among other things they saw the Gutenberg Bible and original Shakespeare fol- ios in the uemorial room of the Widener Library. This room contains the library of Harry

Elkins Widener and is dedi- cated to him. Their guide on the tour was Mr Richard Nathan a member of the sophomore class at Harvard. Previous to the tour the

young ladies explored the Un- iversity Museum where they saw the Ware collection of glass flowers. This is the only co llection of its kind, made in the Blaschka studios in Dresd- en, Germany. They were made between 1887 and 1936 by Leo pold and Rudolph Blaschka. There are over 3000 models

Housed in the Peabody Museum also are collections of min- erals and displays of gems. There are exhibits of native and prehistoric cultures from all over the world including a number of naturally pre- served and Egyptian mummies. In another section is a col- lection of birds, nests, and other animals.

The tour was arranged by Lor- ene Walley, corresponding sec- retary, and was_ enjoyed by patricia Allen, Nancy Elwell, Katrine Keough, Betty jane Mac Donald, Barbara MacGahan, Dor- othy Widger, Alice Webster, and Loraine Matthews.
