Projects authorized by the last annual and special town meetings and under the Selectmen's jurisdiction were completed as follows: a.Renovations to Government Island Pier. b.Town's vital records storage room at the High School. c.Concrete fueUng pad at town gasoline pumps. d.Engineering study and report on Doane Street drainage. e.Engineering study and report on Rattlesnake Run drainage off Jerusalem Road. f.Engineering survey recommending improvements to Margin Street performed by the Norfolk County Engineers at no cost to the Town. g.Engineering survey for planning future improvements to the Village area also performed by the Norfolk County Engineers at no cost to the Town. In other business,four members were appointed to a joint committee in conjunction with the Town of Hull to work out mutual problems concerning the control of algae and midges at Strait's Pond.Recommendations will be made at a future Town Meeting offering solutions to the problem. Following several meetings with local fishermen and other regular users of the harbor,the U.S.Corps of Engineers was persuaded,with the assistance of U.S.Representative Gerry E.Studds to re-evaluate Cohasset's need for mainte- nance dredging.As a result,tentative approval has been granted for the project. Collective bargaining has continued throughout the year with various em- ployee bargaining units under the Selectmen's jurisdiction cuhninating in a two-year agreement with fire department personnel which was ratified by the Town and a tentative two-year agreement with police department personnel, yet to be ratified by a town meeting.Both contracts were negotiated in full recognition of escalating costs in those departments while maintaining a sense of responsibiUty to the Town to provide the best services possible.A unique situation has developed regarding so-called public works employees.It appears that they no longer wish to be represented by their presently certified bargaining agent and are seeking decertification through the Mass.Department of Labor. 20 The Town has been,and continues to be ready to negotiate once the matter is resolved. As custodians of the Town cemeteries,it has become increasingly apparent that existing burial grounds are being rapidly depleted.Therefore,the Selectmen have requested that the Planning Board investigate suitable sites for expansion. In the meantime,measures will be taken to allocate existing vacant plots in a judicious manner. The Town is continuing to benefit from Federal Revenue Sharing and the Comprehensive Employment and Training Acts.The latter has altered its objec- tives toward training and education rather than public service employment which will undoubtedly reduce benefits to Cohasset in future years. The foregoing by no means covers the total involvement of our office during the past year but only serves to highlight the varied problems coming before us. The Board is extremely grateful for the cooperation received from other town officials,employees,boards and committees for the interest in town affairs demonstrated by so many citizens.It has helped to make our job more rewarding. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Clark,Chairman Mary Jeanette Murray Henry W.Ainslie,Jr. Board of Selectmen 21 TOWN CLERK'S REPORT REPORT OF THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING HELD APRIL 2,1977 At the annual business meeting held at the Cohasset High School in the Joseph M.Sullivan Gym at 10:00 a.m.April 2,1977,the following articles were contained in the Warrant and acted upon as recorded.

RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board does not recommend this article. (1)We feel as though the by-law is worded as to be too open to interpretation, with words such as adequate,proper,objectionable or observable. (2)Further the present board is not in favor of making changes to the by-law in a piecemeal fashion such as this,without the entire by-law being circulated. (3)Thirdly,we feel as though the grandfather clause would exempt any animals or pets which may currently present problems to neighbors. (4)Finally,we feel as though rules and regulations would best be handled by the Board of Health. The Planning Board would like the town to know that we are finalizing our rewriting and codifying of the Towns'Zoning by-laws and will be presenting the completed draft for your consideration at the next annual Town Meeting as required by the Massachusetts General Laws.In completing our draft,we will have another opportunity to review the section concerning the keeping and raising of livestock and pets.

Respectfully submitted, James A.Litchfield Building Inspector Zoning Officer 88 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH Personnel Kevin P.O'Brien Health Agent,Inspector of Animals Tai Jin Chung M.D. Pediatrician,Well Baby and Well Child Conference EUenora Lenihan and Margaret Loud Public Health Nurse,Nursing Services by contract with the Social Service League Joseph Laugelle Superintendent of the Town's Disposal Area Charles T.Patrolia Plumbing Inspector Donald Clark Plumbing Inspector As in the past the function of the Board of Health continues to be the pro- motion and protection of human comfort and well being by upholding current, local and state health codes and regulations. The board actively monitors the various clinics which the Social -Service League has been conducting.Overall,participation of the town's citizens has increased.There was an excellent response to the two flu cHnics this fall with immunizations of the Bivalent A-Victoria and Hong Kong vaccine.No serious reactions were reported.Again,the Health Agent and PubUc Health Nursing staff were most efficient and should be highly commended. The recycling program has become the responsibility of the Disposal area personnel and hopefully this can be managed with no additional town paid personnel. The plans for the new sanitary landfill are still awaiting final State approval. This will allow the Town six -eight more years at the present disposal location. Overall a marked increase in the work load of the Health Agent and office personnel has occurred since the revision and upgrading of new State Codes and Regulations in July of 1977.

BIRTHS reported by Town Clerk -49 REPORTED COMMUNICABLE DISEASES: Strep Throat Hepatitis 1 Meningitis 3 Salmonella 4 93 REPORTED COMMUNICABLE DISEASES (Continued): Mumps Dysentary Chicken Pox Shingellosis Animal Bites Gonorrhea Syphilitis Rubella Massachusetts had a large epidemic of Salmonella this summer.There were probably more cases of the disease among carriers and undiagnosed patients in town than the Cohasset figures reflect. The Cohasset Social Service League provides nursing services for the Board of Health.All residents are eUgible for these health services.The Senior Keep Well Clinics have been well attended and much appreciated.Fewer babies attended Well Child Clinic this year and the number of sessions has been re- duced.In order to fill other unmet needs,the Social Service League will plan sessions during 1978 at convenient hours for checking the blood pressure of adults over 18 years of age.This will be sponsored by the American Heart Association with follow up and referral to physicians by the Social Service League nurses. Lazy Eye screening for amblyopia will be offered to preschool children with the cooperation of the Lions Club. It was a pleasure to have worked this year with Mr.Kevin O'Brien and the Board of Health.They are always willing to see that the health needs of the towns people are met. This was the first year in which the nurses were frequently in a situation involving the Emergency Medical Team of the Fire Department.Our thanks to them and to the Water,Police and Highway Departments for their cooperation and help. We wish for Cohasset continuing good health.

It is my intention to request funds for the purchase and equipping of a 1,000 gallon per minute pumping engine to replace the 1950 Mack presently in service at Beechwood.This is in keeping with the apparatus replacement program presented to the Capital Budget Committee.It is important that this systematic replacement of apparatus be carried out to keep the financial impact at a minimum and to keep the apparatus of the department within reasonable age limits.The true criteria forjudging the condition of fire apparatus is not the condition of the paint or its relatively low mileage ..but will it still perform at its rated pump capacity,are replacement parts available and will it be reliable.

The Town of Cohasset under the 1975-1976 Ambulance Distribution Program purchased a modular type ambulance,built upon Federal KKK-A-1822 speci- fications,at a considerable saving to the citizens of Cohasset. 99 work group,as well as being assigned other duties. Fire Captain Roger W.Lincoln has been appointed Training Officer for the department.A program for in-service training is being developed to maintain a required level of proficiency and to keep abreast of the rapidly changing condi- tions found on the fire ground.It seems that each new product on the market provides a new area of concern for the firefighter. EQUIPMENT The equipment of the department is in keeping with that of a modern fire department.The use of larger diameter hose,for moving larger amounts of water to the fire ground with greater efficiency,has been of great value.The smaller tools and appliances ..such as nozzles,are up to date and of the latest style. An automatic recording device has been installed on the telephone and radio system to record all calls received and transmitted.This is of great value in checking emergency calls received from streets and addresses with similar sounding names.It also serves as a double check on response to the correct address and indicates the time of all such messages. An electronic device "Vaportron"was purchased and has proven its value in the location of the source of leaks of flammable gases and vapors.This device is responsive to a wide spectrum of gases ..gasoHne,domestic gas, alcohols,methane,etc. The tool that has gained the most public approval and support nationwide is the "Jaws of Life".This tool was purchased for the department by the Cohasset Firemen's Benefit Association and put into service December 20,1977. The funds to purchase this tool were the result of public demonstrations and an efficient fund raising campaign.The citizens of Cohasset responded to this campaign in a most generous manner and several organizations contributed generously.The small surplus of funds is being used to purchase spare replace- ment parts and first aid kits better suited to the type of emergency the depart- ment responds to. STATIONS There is currently before the citizens of Cohasset an article proposing funds necessary to prepare plans and specifications for a modern fire station which will consolidate the present apparatus and men quartered in the North Cohasset and Beechwood Fire Stations. It is my sincere hope that the townspeople will support this measure,which will provide the department with the space needed to adequately house men and apparatus in a modern and efficient manner.The present system of three fire stations is outmoded and inefficient.Manpower,the heart of the Fire Department and the most expensive portion of the department operations cannot be used to its maximum with the three station concept. 100 This unit purchased from the Modular Ambulance Corporation of Grand Prairie,Texas was delivered and equipped in accordance with the regulations of the Department of PubHc Health,Office of Emergency Medical Services. The Fire Department assumed operation of the Emergency Ambulance service on February 19,1977.On April 8,1977 the Department of Public Health conducted their initial inspection.This inspection covered the medical supplies and equipment,vehicle design,construction and equipment,personnel, personnel records,training and training records and operational policies and procedures.I am pleased to report that the Department of Public Health has suggested to other services the adoption of this departments operational policies and procedures.This inspection pointed out some minor deficiencies and immediate corrective action was taken.The fmal inspection and review was held and the Town of Cohasset granted a two year hcense to operate a Class 1 ambulance,July 12,1977. Under further provisions of Chapter 1 1 IC is a requirement that Emergency Medical Technicians be re-certified every two years.On November 5,12,and 19 of this year a refresher course was conducted by the department as an aid to meeting this requirement.Daily in-service training,response to emergencies, attendance at seminars are also part of the re-certification process. The transition of the ambulance service into the Fire Department,in compli- ance with the many regulations and requirements,has required many hours of research and study.However,I feel it has been carried out successfully and with a minimum of confusion.The Emergency Medical Technicians and the Officers and Men of the department should be credited with the success of providing an excellent level of service.It is intended to maintain this high level of proficiency and improve as the future mandates. The Fire Department presently has ten registered Emergency Medical Technicians,four awaiting certification -having completed training and four firefighters,recently appointed,waiting for a class to be formed. PERSONNEL The Table of Organization of the department calls for twenty-eight officers and men,assigned in four groups of seven men per group.The four firefighters approved by a vote of the 1977 Annual Town Meeting were appointed Aug.11, 1977.The following men were appointed:WilHam T.Litchfield,Randall W. Rosano,James E.Fiori,and John M.Sullivan.The above named were given two months of intensive training in firefighting evolutions,operation of ap- paratus and equipment,department procedures,first aid and other subjects necessary in performance of their duties.One man was assigned to each of the four groups,bringing the level of strength to seven. The Division of Personnel Administration has posted a promotional exami- nation for Fire Captain on February 25,1978.When an appointment is made from this list it will complete the organizational strength and provide one Deputy Fire Chief and three Fire Captains.Each of these Officers command a 101 RECOMMENDATIONS I respectfully make the following recommendations for your consideration and support. 1 . The purchase and equipping of a new 1 ,000 gallon per minute pumping engine. 2.The purchase and installation of a new 100 watt base radio station at Fire Headquarters. 3.The purchase of additional portable radio transmitter/receivers,to equip all of the first Hne pumpers,ladder,and ambulance. 4.The construction of a modern fire station which will consolidate the North Cohasset and Beechwood apparatus in a modern,spacious and well equipped facihty. CONCLUSION At this time I would like to extend my very sincere thanks and appreciation to Firefighter Austin E.Studley,who has been forced to retire from the depart- ment for reasons of health.Firefighter Studley was appointed a Call Firefighter on July 1,1954;appointed a Permanent Firefighter November 22,1954 and retired December 19,1977.He performed his duties with skill and a high level of devotion to duty. I would like to thank the citizens of Cohasset for their support and cooper- ation.To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,other department heads and department members,and all committees and boards for their understanding, guidance and cooperation,my sincere thanks. To all of the Officers and Men of the Fire Department for their performance of duties and cooperation,my sincere thanks and appreciation. Respectfully submitted, Charles Piepenbrink Chief of Fire Department and Forest Fire Warden 102 J REPORT OF THE COHASSET WIRE DEPARTMENT I herewith submit the annual report of the Wire Department for the year 1977. Fire and Traffic Signals: All streets in the hillside area of town were rewired,with new fire alarm. Also new wire was run in along Highland Ave.,Beach Street,Deep Run and Rust Way.New boxes were installed at Windy Hill Road,Paul Pratt Library, and Schofield Road.All boxes were tested and painted.In the coming year we will finish rewiring Beechwood St.and Jerusalem Road.Traffic Ughts were put in good working condition and painted. Wire Inspection: All work done by electrical contractors was inspected by the Department, and permit fees turned into the Town Treasurer. Town Buildings: All electrical work and repairs were done by the Wire Department in buildings owned by the Town. I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their cooperation with the Department,and many thanks to the men who work with me;Richard Gallo and James McNamara. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore Superintendent of Wire Department 103 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT 1956-1978 For twenty-two years,I have had the honor and privilege of running the Highway Department. I have decided not to seek reelection. I have tried to get the most for our tax dollar,keep the Department small and get the work done. I thank the people who have put their trust in me and the men in the Department who have worked so well. Respectfully submitted, Louis C.Bailey,Jr. Highway Department REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TREE &PARK COMMISSIONERS -1977 This year the Tree &Park Department has done considerable clearing in Wheelwright Park in and around the nursery which is located at the entrance to Wheelwright Park. The tree planting program will be continued in the spring.Milliken Field fencing is still being continued and the filling at the practice field.Roadside clearing was done along the town streets and also at the Town disposal area. There has been one major change;the three Town cemeteries are now under the supervision of the Tree and Park Department. I would like to thank my men and the men in other departments for their assistance. Respectfully submitted, Peter G.Laugelle Tree &Park Superintendent 104 REPORT OF THE HARBOR DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of Cohasset and the Board of Selectmen: The year of 1978 was one of many firsts in the overall operation of running the harbor.It was necessary to revamp the waiting list to make it a more realistic tool to govern boats going in the harbor.After many hours spent by the Harbor Study Committee,and a public meeting,it was decided that all potential boat owners should reaffirm their intent by paying a one-time $5.00 mooring application fee.Also,they should reaffirm their intent to the Harbor- master in writing by June 1st of each calendar year or be automatically dropped from the list.It was recommended and accepted by the Selectmen that the date of the application should be the determining factor for any particular boat's priority to get in the harbor whether it be sail,power or commercial.There was a lot of time spent debating whether some boats should be given preferential treatment which I deemed unnecessary for all concerned. The May 9th and June 10th Northeast storm kept the department on it's toes saving boats that broke away from their moorings due to chaffing of moor- ing lines.There were approximately $250,000.00 worth of boats saved from serious damage.It is fair to say that there was less than $5,000.00 worth of damage done to these boats.It was the total effort of the Harbor Department employees and assistance of concerned citizens that made this possible.It was necessary to work one shift of 30 hours straight. Two major projects were completed this year —the rebuilding of Lawrence wharf float and the pointing up of the walls of Government Island pier along with the resurfacing of the pier.It is hoped that these two areas will be mainte- nance free for some years to come. It must be stated that vandalism and theft was down 80%over last year due to a job well done by James Curley who was assigned to Night Patrol.It proves that given the necessary funds and the determination of a conscientious employee to do a good job,you can get results. I am again requesting monies for a burglar alarm for the Harbor Department office which is isolated and easy prey for thieves.Last year $900.00 worth of radio equipment was stolen and this year over S300.00 worth of tools. The department made several search and rescue missions with the end result of no lives lost,no serious injuries and boats saved.It also assisted the Police Department in what appeared to be a drowning but turned out to be a homicide. I am most grateful for the many hours spent by the Harbor Study Committee, the cooperation received by the Selectmen,the persons employed by the Depart- ment and the Assistant Harbormasters for a job well done.It is the cooperation as well as the concern of all boat owners that make possible a more efficient operation of a department overtaxed in demand for harbor space and facilities.

The Project is an organized,year round,regionally operational effort to combat the nuisance and menace of mosquitoes. The Project comprises the communities of Braintree,Cohasset,Duxbury, Hingham,Hull,Marshfield,Norwell,Quincy,Scituate and Weymouth,an area covering 171 square miles with a population in excess of 250,000. The Project was established in 1953 under the Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 252 and Chapter 1 12,and Acts under and according to the provision to these and other laws pertaining to mosquito control. The Project's operation can be classified under three categories:— 1.Water Management 2.Larvaciding 3.Adulticiding Water Management —is where stagnant and brackish water,the need of all mosquitoes,is caused to circulate and flush off,preventing the development of mosquito larvae.During the past year 2307 man hours was spent on this operation,opening 74,500 cubic feet of marsh reclamation ditches.5100 cubic feet of new ditches was installed.33,850 feet of obstruction was cleared from brooks and streams and 89,550 feet of brush was cut and cleared for purpose of access.39,400 feet of waterways was surveyed to appraise their working conditions and needs for attention. Larvaciding —is when stagnant or brackish water is found to have mosquito larvae present and must then be sprayed.Helicopter and fixed wing aircraft started off the larvaciding operation in the spring by treating 1633 acres of woodland swamps.This operation is preceded by checking sites for a mosquito larvae count and then post sprayed and checked for results. During the main part of the season,crews circulate throughout the Project checking probable breeding sites.1607 man hours was spent larval checking and 415 man hours was spent in actual larvaciding with ground equipment, treating 1633 acres.317 man hours was spent larval treating 10,834 storm catch basins. Adulticiding —is when it becomes necessary,due to a noted or reported large number of mosquitoes,to lay down a space or residue spray in the infested area with a vehicle mounted mist sprayer or back pack mist sprayer. 2545 man hours was spent on this operation treating 23,344 acres. The Project received 2252 request calls for service.All calls were answered and treated in one manner or another. 106 The Project is also engaged in two other programs in five of it's towns,the control of the biting Greenhead Fly and the brackish water Midge.5775 acres was aerial treated in three towns for adult Greenhead Fly control and 175 acres was aerial treated for Midge larvae control. The use of the insecticide Baytex,as applied by aircraft,had a ninety day restriction placed on it.It was necessary for the Project to shift over to a milder form of larvacide,Abate.Abate was applied as a mosquito larvacide at a rate of .03 of a pound to the acre at breeding sites. Malathion was used for mosquito adulticiding at rates of between .05 to 0.2 of a pound to the acre. Baytex was used to treat storm catch basins at a rate of .001 of a pound to each basin. All insecticides used by the Project have been registered for mosquito control use by the Environmental Protection Agency and meet with the approval of the Massachusetts Pesticide Board. All Project's regular personnel have been duly licensed by the Massachusetts Pesticide Board qualifying them for the safe handling and application of insecticides for mosquito control. The Project wishes to extend it's appreciation for the time and service rendered by the Board of Commissioners and acknowledges all assistance given by state and municipal officials;also the courtesies extended it by the many individuals they encountered in the past year.

South Shore Mosquito Control Project 107 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE COHASSET FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY 1977 1977 was a year of excitement,disruption and triumph for Cohasset's library. RENOVATION CONSTRUCTION PROCEEDS.Construction drawings, prepared by Anderson Notter Finegold Associates,were approved by the Trustees in January and went out for bid in February.The low bid by Constantino and Farley,Inc.,of Burlington,MA,of $126,921 was within budget and was accepted.Construction started at the end of March and con- tinued to the end of the year.By the time of the official celebration of the library renovation on January 8,1978,the Ubrary could truly be considered "new at 99".1978 is the 99th year since Cohasset's public Hbrary was started with a small book collection located in Town Hall. THE LIBRARY OPERATES 'AS USUAL'.The renovation construction posed major problems to continuous operation of the library. Despite a good work plan by the contractors,it was necessary to find temporary,accessible storage for 8,000 books.A defunct Regional Library System Bookmobile was a good answer to this need and became part of the library landscape during the renovation. As work progressed,it was necessary to dispose of old furnishings and shelving that would not be used in the new library.The greater part of this property was taken up by other town departments.The remainder has been utilized by other Hbraries and sold to the pubhc at two silent auctions. The cacophony of the construction work and the excitement of change apparently attracted more business for the Hbrary.Circulation was up during the summer.For the staff,of course,the construction work made efficiency difficult and working conditions tedious.We are grateful that their limitless patience,dedication,and good humor turned a tough situation into an exciting one!The hbrary was open to the public,on schedule every day,but one,this year,and on that day the staff came to work. EXPENDITURES REMAIN WITHIN BUDGET.There were minimal numbers of change orders,and contracts for bookshelving and furnishings were awarded within budgeted amounts.At the request of the Advisory Committee,the Trustees voted to make certain exterior repairs,at $4,837 under the renovation appropriation,despite the Trustees'conviction that this expense should more properly be allocated to regular capital outlay.Despite this unexpected expen- diture,it appears certain that the renovation project will be completed within the $203,000 budget. A GALA CELEBRATION.The impressive results of the renovation project were appropriately celebrated during the week of January 8,1978.An official 108 opening ceremony on Sunday afternoon emphasized the greatly improved library in terms of its potential for efficient and economical service to the public.Its rejuvenated appearance is an attractive and pleasant by-product of the effort.The Friends of the Cohasset Library,Inc.,under the leadership of Donna McGee,planned a wonderful week-long celebration of the renovation with a number of excellent programs.They prepared and mailed to all Cohasset residents an extremely attractive invitation to the official opening and a program of the week's events. A TEAM EFFORT.Renovation of Cohasset's library is one of the significant moments in the town's history.It is the culmination of Cohasset's long-standing commitment to its library and the product of hundreds of people's efforts. As a strong institution,it has derived its strength from its foundations;the directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library,the Trustees of the Cohasset Free PubHc Library,its Hbrarians,and its users.Impetus for change came from this base,via a joint planning committee of the Trustees and Directors,working with Maurice N.Finegold,our architect for this project.The equation was completed with the gift of the library building to Cohasset in 1975,and the town meeting vote in 1976 to proceed with the renovations.Good contractors, excellent staff,support of the Friends,and a forgiving public made it work. The many town officers that have lent their advice,support,and assistance throughout,have truly made the project a town effort. The Trustees have continued to perform superbly this year.They have remained enthusiastic despite a number of additional,special meetings,and have always brought their most conscientious concern to any detail.Barbara M.Power,CordeUa T.Foell,and Richard E.Hayes,our librarian,made signif- icant contributions as members of the Trustees'Building Committee,which I had the pleasure of chairing. The Trustees particularly wish to thank Dick Hayes and his excellent staff for their many efforts which have helped make this dream a reahty.The Friends of the Library,too,can be congratulated for being the kind of friends everyone would like to have.

During this year of renovation,the staff proved to be as dedicated as the tax- payers could wish.Their hard work and good morale year after year makes this library the pleasant and successful place that it is.This year,despite more than usual reasonable causes (paint fumes,saws,jackhammers,dust,aggravation), four employees (of seven with this benefit)took no sick leave.With total accumulated sick leave entitlement (among seven employees)of 621 days,only 17 days were lost to ilhess.Three employees voluntarily forfeited one or two vacation days each and chose to work instead.Thank you,staff,for your support and loyalty.I'm confident the taxpayers appreciate you. ACTIVITY SURVEY:During 10 weeks,January to April,we measured volume of loans on a daily basis to see if some days were busier than others.Some 110 weeks,more loans were made during three hours on Sunday than during nine hours on a Thursday or Friday.Average loans per hour for these weeks: Sun.Mon.Tues.Wed.Thur.Fri.Sat. 59 35 33 28 40 43 58 SUMMER READING PROGRAM:Each summer we make an effort as school ends to attract children to our summer reading incentive program.Circulation of children's books is very high in summer.Of those who participated and reported: 114 children read 5 or more books 108 received a reading achievement certificate (10 books) 86 received a free paperback book (20 books read) SUMMER FILMS:During July and August the library and the Recreation Department sponsored eight programs of free Charlie Chaplin movies.Average attendance was 73. INTERLIBRARY LOAN:Other Hbraries in the Regional Library System sent us 281 books,records or journal articles requested by our patrons.But 62 such requests failed to be fulfilled —the ILL service needs much improvement. In addition,we borrowed from other libraries several deposit collections of special materials,such as large print books for persons with visual handicaps, and phonore cords for the children. SERVICES TO SCHOOLS:Thanks to Dr.John Packard and his media/Ubrary staff in the schools,cooperation between the public library and the schools is at an all time high.Staff from the Ubrary regularly visit the schools with film programs and book talks,and for consultation.Classes visit the library. I participated in a teacher workshop at the high school in February.We consult together on the selection of materials.The schools provide us with audiovisual equipment and advice.Teachers cooperate in planning library assignments.Book deposits are made available to classroom teachers. FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY:The many services of the Friends include more than 2,000 hours this year of volunteer help in the library at routine work,plus uncounted hours in planning and carrying out special programs and public relations.Volunteers make regular visits to two nursing homes and to shut-ins,delivering about 1,100 books this year.

During the first year of full-time operation,November 1976 -October 1977, there have been 5,1 13 individuals,of all ages,that have participated in recre- ational programs and activities. Many programs require a minimal registration fee.The Recreation Depart- ment generated $4,984.00 revenue for the Town of Cohasset during the first year of operation.The revenue will help offset the tax rate during Fiscal Year 1979. At present the Recreation Department is offering more than 25 regularly scheduled programs for all ages and interest groups.In addition to the regularly scheduled programs,many special events,activities,and projects are also being offered on an intermittent basis. This year's playground was quite successful with an all time high of 370 children registered.Plans for the program are currently being made for next year. This year we were able to offer six band concerts.Five concerts were pro- vided by the American Federation of Musicians,Local 138.One of those con- certs was free of charge and the other four were payed for at the rate 50% total cost.The Federation of Musicians payed the other 50%per concert.The sixth concert was performed by the United States Navy.The only charge for that concert was transportation.Over 1 ,300 people attended the concerts. During the summer the Paul Pratt Memorial Library and the Recreation Department co-sponsored a series of six 'Charlie Chaplin Films'.The movies were held in the Town Hall Auditorium and were free of charge.Close to 500 people attended the six films. Seven other special events were held in conjunction with the summer play- ground program.All were well attended. Work began on the Elm's Meadow skating area in June of 1977.On June 27,1977 a dozen Youth Corps C.E.T.A.Workers began clearing brush in the Meadow and continued for 10 weeks under the Recreation Department's supervision.Plans for this year include a dam,fine grading,and additional lifting.The area is expected to be functional for the Winter of 1977-78.We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Turn Off Drugs,Inc.who donated funds for the reaUzation of this project.Also,many thanks should go to Mr. George Jednick,Mr.Edwin Young,Mr.John Barnes,Mr.Richard Murphy, Mr.Arthur Clark,and numerous Town Boards,Committees,and Departments for their invaluable help and services concerning this project. 113 The Recreation Commission consists of seven members:Mr.Richard P. Barrow,Chairman,Mr.Hamilton T.Tewksbury,Vice Chairman,Mrs.Irene E. Brown,Secretary,Mrs.Nancy E.Sladen,Treasurer,Mr.Richard D.AinsHe, Mr.Eugene K.Price,and Mr.Ernest J.Sullivan.Many thanks should go to these individuals who donated their time and effort toward the betterment of recre- ation programs and activities for the Town of Cohasset. The Recreation Department utilizes many faciUties for programs.Thanks should go to Dr.John F.Maloney,Superintendent of Schools,and his entire staff of principals,teachers,and custodians that have made facilities available for many of our programs. Also,thanks should go to the numerous individuals who volunteered their time to help conduct such programs as Street Hockey,Kickball,Softball, Soccer,Weight Training,and Basketball.

The work on the town clock is nearing completion.The entire movement of the clock has been either rebuilt or serviced.The clock should now record time for yet another hundred years due to the good work of Isaiah Lincoln and the South Shore Vocational School. The historic records have been sorted and put into order.A fireproof room has been set up in the basement of Cohasset High School for their preservation. A cross index file system is all that remains to be done from this long and tedious project done by Joe Hamilton. Respectfully submitted, Jan Daggett Linda Hewitt,Secretary Mary Jane McArthur Francis Collins Betty P.Enders Avis M.Sweeney Noel Ripley,Chairman 118 reviewable in advance by the Commission,since most structures involved are white and many residents have concern about unusual color schemes appearing in the future.The Study Committee recommends that color changes which do not detract substantially from the overall historic and architectural appearance of the Common should be permitted.In the final analysis,however,the Study Committee beUeves that the Commission should have discretion to review all color changes. Whether or not a public hearing was required in connection with an appli- cation,a final determination on the application would have to be made by the Commission in all events within 60 days after the initial filing of the application. The Study Committee does not believe that this would create any undue hard- ship for any property owner.Any apphcant disagreeing with the Commission's determination would have the right to request review of the determination by a quahfied independent person designated by the MetropoUtan Area Planning Council,whose report would have to be filed within 40 days after such a request;the applicant would also have the right to appeal from the latter determination directly to Norfolk County Superior Court.In the alternative, an appeal to the same court could be taken directly from the original deter- mination of the Commission. 5.Conclusion.The Study Committee beUeves that the Cohasset Common area is an asset of unique value to the Town of Cohasset.It beUeves that the creation of an Historic District encompassing the area surrounding the Com- mon would be most beneficial to the town in terms of ensuring the preservation of this beautiful,authentic and historic area.

With the creation of the Study Conmiittee,Cohasset joined over sixty other Massachusetts communities in moving to presejye those historic elements unique to New England living.Beginning on March 10,1977,the Study Committee met on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 p jn.in the Unitarian Parish House at 23 North Main Street. 2.The Cohasset Common and Proposed Historic District.By letter dated February 9,1977,the Selectmen suggested to the Study Committee that the Common area be evaluated for possible establishment of an Historic District. The Common area is a landmark area of considerable beauty and reknown.A Boston Globe article on New England "Commons"on April 21,1977,noted that the Cohasset Common is considered by many to be the most beautiful New England Common south of Boston.It is the opinion of the Study Com- mittee that the designation of the Common as an Historic District under Chapter 40C would be of substantial benefit to the Town of Cohasset,now and in the future,as a means of preserving the distinctive character of the town. The first step taken by the Study Committee was to contact all Common area residents individually to inform them of the creation of the Committee, with a view toward determining the logical boundaries for a possible Historic District.The area residents were generally receptive to the proposed Historic District,and the Study Committee recommends the establishment of such a District. The boundaries for the proposed District were determined with considerable care.After much dehberation it was concluded that each property abutting the Common should be included in the proposed District together with several properties which are visible from the Common area.The District boundaries are indicated on the map attached hereto as Exhibit A. On August 18,1977,the Study Committee submitted a Preliminary Report, recommending estabhshment of an Historic District,to the Town Planning Board and to the Massachusetts Historical Commission,as required by Chapter 40C of the General Laws.Following review,each body endorsed the estabhsh- ment of an Historic District.The Study Committee furnished copies of the Preliminary Report to the Board of Selectmen and to the residents of the proposed District and subsequently met both with the Selectmen,on September 29,and with many of the residents,at an open public meeting held on October 120 27 at the Unitarian Parish House. The Common is obviously an area of substantial historic significance. Detailed historic and architectural information on both the Common area generally and on the structures surrounding the Common are contained in a series of "inventory forms"incorporated in the Preliminary Report which is now on file with the Town Planning Board. 3.Proposed Historic District Commission.The Study Committee recom- mends the establishment of an Historic District Commission ("the Commission"), to be made up of seven regular members and two alternate members.Each member would be appointed by the Selectmen.The terms of office would be staggered so that three regular members and one alternate member would be appointed initially for a one-year term;two regular members and one alternate member would be appointed initially for a two-year term;and two regular members would be appointed for a three-year term.After the expiration of the first term each new appointment would be for three years. The Study Committee beUeves that it would be useful for four regular members and one alternate member to be residents of the Historic District itself.It also recommends that at least one regular member be appointed from nominees submitted to the Selectmen respectively by the American Institute of Architects and the Cohasset Historical Society.Finally,the Study Committee recommends that at least one local realtor and one attorney be serving on the Commission at all times. 4.Functions and Powers of Proposed Commission.The basic function of the Commission,as outlined in a proposed By-Law to be submitted to the Town Meeting,would be to review applications for certificates of "non- applicability","appropriateness"or "hardship"in connection with the altering or constructing of any building or structure within the Historic District which affects "exterior architectural features"(as defined in the proposed By-Law). The basic purpose is to provide a mechanism whereby the present appearance of the Common may be preserved for the benefit of the town generally,with- out however interfering with the ordinary maintenance of the structures on and around the Common.The goal is prevention of developments incongruous to the historic aspects or architectural characteristics of the structures on and around the Common,and there would be a number of explicit exclusions from Commission review,as indicated in Section 7 of the proposed By-Law. Within 14 days after the filing of any application the Commission would be required to determine whether or not a public hearing is required in connection with the application.No public hearing would be required if such hearing is waived by all interested persons,or if the Commission determines that the proposed change in exterior architectural feature is so insubstantial in its effect that it could be reviewed by the Commission without public hearing. The Study Committee believes that changes in paint color should be 121 Exhibit A 122 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD During the past year,the work of the Planning Board has been in three general areas:routine administration of existing regulations;reviewing and revising the zoning bylaw;and future planning. The Board has spent many hours reviewing and drafting revisions to the zoning bylaw in order to clarify it and bring it into conformity with the State Zoning Act as amended.The Board plans to present a new bylaw for town meeting action which hopefully will be more useful for citizens and town boards. The Board has adopted and printed Site Plan Review Rules and Regulations. These regulations outline in detail the procedure for obtaining Site Plan Ap- proval for projects in the business and industrial zoning districts. Routine work of the Planning Board includes evaluating subdivisions where a new roadway is created,site plans,and divisions of land parcels.The Board attends Board of Appeals hearings and submits pertinent recommendations. In the area of future planning,the Board is working as part of a Town com- mittee on plans to improve traffic circulation,parking and beautification in the village.Because of the great impact that future sewer facilities will have upon the town's future,the Board plans to be fully involved in the study of these facilities. Two new members joined the Board last year to fill the unexpired terms caused by the resignations of Chairman Mark E.Goodrich and Roberta A. Leary.The Board appreciates their dedicated service.The vacancies were filled by John E.Bradley and Patricia Facey.Near perfect attendance characterizes the meeting of the Board,as well as numerous on-site inspections and Saturday sessions.The Board welcomes citizens at all its meetings. One of the most valuable activities of the Board has been meeting with other town boards and committees to discuss subjects of mutual concern.The Board hopes such dialogue will increase in the coming year. Respectfully submitted, Wayne Sawchuk,Chairman EHzabethA.Holt Glenn A.Pratt Patricia Facey John E.Bradley —Committee Members 123 REPORT OF THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD During the year 1977 the Design Review Board carried out its mission in ac- cordance with Article 37 of the 1976 Town Meeting.Compiled was the follow- ing Statement of Purposes and Criteria for operation of the Board in order to assist property owners in the design process: The purposes of design review are: 1.To recognize,protect and improve the character and attractiveness of each district in the town. 2.To assist property owners in achieving the attractiveness and qualities appropriate for their property and which will protect the values in their district. The criteria to be considered in design reviewj^ 1 . Buildings —To determine that the buildings relate well to the existing terrain and other buildings in the district. 2.Landscape —To determine that the natural landscape is maintained where possible and that any additional planting,regrading and paving are in keeping with the neighborhood. ^' 3.Circulation —To determine that vehicular and pedestrian access, parking faciHties and utiUties are appropriate for the site and do not detract from the district. 4.Neighbors —To determine that neighboring owners will not be affected by surface water drainage,unattractive views,unusual noise,or unpleas- ant outdoor hghting and signs. Copies of this Statement are on file in the office of the Building Inspector. The Design Review Board assisted the Planning Board in the review of one building appUcation during the past year.

(b)To provide for the convenience of the townspeople. (c)To provide an efficient and pleasant environment for the people who serve the town. (d)To take into consideration the needs of other organizations that make regular or occasional use of town facihties. To this point,the Committee has focused its attention on the gathering of information necessary to the discharge of its responsibihties.This has included: (a)A review of the reports and records of the prior Committee to Study Needs for Town Offices. (b)An investigation of population projections for the Town of Cohasset. (c)A survey,on a department-by -department basis,of the numbers of personnel currently employed by 38 other towns in the metropohtan area which have populations in a range from 80%to 200%of the size of Cohasset.The Committee is grateful to the Metropolitan Area Planning Council for assistance in carrying out this survey. (d)A survey of all Town Departments to determine what they perceive to be their needs for space and other facilities. (e)A survey of some 21 outside organizations that make use of town facil- ities to determine the extent of their needs and what alternatives might be open to them if town facihties were not available. As of this writing (Jan.10-)1978),nearly all of this background information has been gathered.The next move will be to assimilate it and translate it into space requirements and how best to accommodate those requirements. While the Committee will require the help of outside consultants,it proposes to make careful use of the information assembled by its predecessors. We are a committee of nine people and have nine viewpoints.We invite those of all interested townspeople.We propose to carefully analyze all the facts 125 and opinions we can gather in any effort to reach a reasonable conclusion. Respectfully submitted, Richard J.Avery Daniel S.Campbell Joseph F.Cotter Clifford J.Dickson Margaret M.Dillon James R.Hooper,Secretary Theodore Patrolia Warren S.Pratt Daniel C.Cotton,Chairman REPORT OF THE DOG OFFICER To the Citizens of Cohasset: Submitted herewith is the Report of the Dog Officer for the year ending December 31,1977. This report,being the first twelve month report of the Dog Officer,is more indicative of the Town's canine problem. I received 771 phone calls at my home.Of these calls 455 were pertaining to complaints of dogs being a general nuisance up to and including vicious attacks on children and adults alike.316 calls were in the nature of lost dogs and people seeking general information. I investigated 301 complaints,recommended to the Selectmen that several hearings be held,and that several restraining orders be issued. The support of Chief Feola and his men and the Selectmen has been excellent. However,the support from many dog owners has been distressing. So let this year be a year of awakening to dog owners.We have a relatively small budget for dog control.We can keep it this way if people would show due consideration to their fellow persons. Dogs do not belong at Sandy Beach,the Sailing Club,the Music Circus, restaurants,the Yacht Club,the Town Pool,at our schools,and at STORES where many have knocked our senior citizens to the ground.They do not belong in your neighbor's garden and rubbish pail.They belong at home.Also,the melodious tone of a dog barking at night is very annoying to your neighbors. A leash law with full-time enforcement is costly;the average cost for towns of Cohasset's size is $55,000.to $60,000.per year.This is one expenditure that can be avoided by you,the dog owner,accepting your own responsbility. Respectfully submitted, John H.Barrett Dog Officer 126 REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE During the past year an evaluation has been made of the material previously submitted by the various department heads as to the duties of their employees. It now appears,as a result of the evaluation,that further and more detailed information will be needed in order that the information may be of real value to the Town. A major portion of the time of the Personnel Committee,during the past year,has involved negotiating labor contracts with the employees of the Fire and Police Departments.Contracts have finally been worked out with the employees of both departments. At the same time that negotiations were started with the Fire and Police Department employees'negotiations were undertaken with the Municipal Employees.The Municipal Employees had retained the AFL-CIO as their bargaining agent.While negotiations were being conducted with the Union,the Municipal Employees decided they did not wish the Union to be their bargaining agent.As we could only conduct negotiations with the Union,and the Union was unable to get the cooperation of the Municipal Employees,negotiations have been suspended and no negotiations have been conducted for several months. The Municipal Employees have petitioned the Massachusetts State Labor Board,for a hearing at which time the Municipal Employees are expected to request that the AFL-CIO be decertified as the bargaining agent for the Municipal Employees.A hearing has been scheduled for the near future.Any further negotiations will depend on the outcome of the hearing.

In the first year of its existence,the Committee has initiated an in depth survey of the functioning of our town government.In the process,it has met with many of the town boards and principal town officials with a view to de- veloping a better understanding of how town government is operating at the present time.Discussions have been held with,among others,the Board of Selectmen,Advisory Board,School Committ-ee,Board of Assessors,Town Ac- countant,Town Treasurer and Collector,Town Clerk and Town Moderator. These meetings are continuing at the present time. Among the most important questions we have asked those with whom we have met are the following: Are the boards functioning properly within the present structure? And are they adequately accountable for their actions? Should the membership on some of the boards and committees be appointed rather than elected? What are the relations with other boards and departments? What steps can be taken to make the various boards and departments operate more effectively in the best interests of the town? The Committee hopes to be in a position to make one or more recommen- dations to the town at an annual or special town meeting regarding our town government in the near future. The Committee has been very impressed with the seriousness of purpose and the dedication to our town's affairs of everyone with whom we have met this past year.All the town boards and officials have been very cooperative and helpful.Our meetings are of course open to the public and customarily held at town hall.We welcome every citizen of the town to attend our meetings and give us the benefit of his or her opinions regarding our town government —its structure and effective functioning.

The following appointments to the Study Committee were subsequently made: Arnold Weeks Fran Wakeman by the Troika Arthur Pompeo Irene Brown Ham Tewksbury by the Recreation Commission Don Beamon by the Cohasset Community Center Matt White Board of Directors As of this date the Committee has met a total of seven times to discuss the various pros and cons of the Community Center acquisition issue,and to obtain information and advice from interested citizens and organizations within the community.In the paragraphs below,highlights of the Committee meetings and other activities are summarized and the Committee's final conclusions and recommendations are delineated. The first meeting of the Study Committee was on February 10,1977.Its primary business was to elect Matt White Chairman and Irene Brown Secretary, and to assign the various Committee members specific data gathering responsi- bilities.It was agreed that a considerable body of unbiased information would have to be amassed before well founded recommendations could be made by the Committee. During the next meeting (Feb.28,1977)Committee member Arnold Weeks reported on his assessment of the C.C.C.building-faciHties.After inspecting the building in conjunction with the Cohasset Fire Chief and Building Inspector, Mr.Weeks concluded that a great deal of neglected maintenance would have to be done if the C.C.C.were to continue to obtain funds through its recreational programs and room rentals.In particular,the bowling alley ceiling was in need of repair and a new fire escape was needed.He furthermore speculated that if the building were to be renovated for a different use,such as town offices or elderly housing,it would have to be considered as only a shell,and $200,000 - 129 $300,000 would be required for renovation.After inspection of the C.C.C. financial records for the past several years,Mr.Weeks estimated that a cash flow of at least $22,000 a year is necessary to operate the C.C.C.as it is now operated. For the next Committee meeting (March 28,1977)some of the citizens who were instrumental in inserting the C.C.C.Study Committee article into the town warrant were invited to discuss their motivations for inserting the article as well as their views regarding past and present C.C.C.activities.Sam Hassan,Robert Fessler,and Margaret Laugelle responded. The concensus was that the primary motivation of the participants was to preserve the C.C.C.facility for town utiUzation,in view of rumors that sale to a private party was being considered.Concern was expressed regarding modifi- cation of the building's external features,thereby loosing the only federal period structure in Cohasset.A majority,but by no means unanimous,opinion was expressed that in view of the present activities of the new Recreation Director and the Recreational Commission,there is no need for another recreation facihty at the C.C.C,and that such a redundant facility could not be supported by the community. For the April 26 meeting of the Committee,representatives from the Cohasset Recreational Commission were invited to express their feeling regarding acquisition of the C.C.C.by the town,for subsequent recreation utilization.In addition to Committee members Ham Tewksbury and Irene Brown,Richard Barrow,Helen Price and Henry Ainslie represented the Recreational Commission. Recreation Director Jack Worley was also present.The point was strongly made that the Recreational Commission has no interest in acquiring the C.C.C.facil- ities for recreational purposes and that,in fact,the facilities are not suitable for most of the programs planned by the Commission.It was pointed out that the only unique recreational possession of the C.C.C.is the bowling alley and that even that is obsolete,in need of repair,and would be expensive to maintain. Mr.Worley indicated that he is happy with his present office arrangement and that moving to the C.C.C.would be a hability rather than an asset. On May 9,representative of the C.C.C.Board of Directors shared with the Committee their views on the future of the C.C.C,as now constituted.In addition to Matt White and Don Beamon,C.C.C representatives Helen Yeager, Marie Caristi,Jack Langmaid and Tom Myers participated.It was made clear by the C.C.C Board of Directors that it is impossible to keep the Center going on its present basis and that,unless something unexpected happens,it will be closed within one year.Support for the Center and its programs is at a new low,with difficulty being encountered in recruiting the required number of members for the Board of Directors and raising a quorum for general member- ship meetings.It was indicated that a group composed of members of St.Stephens Episcopal Church had expressed interest in acquiring the C.C.C.facilities for elderly housing,and that possibility was being actively followed up.It was stated that unless the town or some local non-profit organization acquired the faciUties in the near future,there will be no choice but to sell them to a private party. 130 On several occasions during the Committee meetings discussed above,concern had been expressed regarding extensive modificaton of the external appearance of the C.C.C.buildings in the event that they were sold to a private party.The last two Committee meetings (June 23 and August 2)were therefore primarily devoted to determining to what degree existing agreements and town by-laws limit such modifications. It was estabUshed that the 1937 Common Trust Agreement,will be binding upon the C.C.C.property for another ten years,but that while this agreement limits property utiUzation,it does not cover alterations of external appearance. Discussions with Mr.Stephenson,of the Historic District Study Committee, revealed plans to propose a by-law in the upcoming 1978 Cohasset Town Meeting that,if passed,will limit C.C.C.building appearance modification.However, this by-law will have no retro-active impact.It was thus determined that,apart from the zoning by-laws there presently exists no legal instrument to prevent external modification,or demolition,of the C.C.C.building by a private buyer. The C.C.C.property is zoned "Residence B".Therefore,even with a special permit,it cannot be used for most retail business purposes.For example,it cannot be used to house a "Burger-King"or "Bradlee's"type operation. On October 2 the Chairman of the C.C.C.Study Committee contacted Tom Myers,Chairman of the C.C.C.Board of Directors to determine if any further action had been taken toward the acquisition of the C.C.C.properties by St. Stephen's Church group.He was told that the St.Stephen's Housing Trust, which consists of five members of St.Stephen's Church (but has no official connection with the church)had definitely decided to proceed with acquisition of the property by assuming all debts and liabilities of C.C.C,Inc.A verbal agreement has been reached that if the property is acquired by the group the external appearance of the buildings will remain intact.A C.C.C.general member- ship meeting was called for October 18,to seek approval for this transaction. On October 3 the Study Committee Chairman contacted Dan Cotton,Chair- man of the Town Office Study Committee,to determine whether his committee had considered,or planned to consider,the C.C.C.property for town offices, and to urge this option be examined as soon as possible.Mr.Cotton indicated that his committee had just recently been reconstituted and that their present efforts are concentrated upon estimating future town office requirements.He indicated that he would recommend that the C.C.C.property be considered, but he felt that no definite recommendation would be forthcoming for several months. Ehiring the October 18 C.C.C.general membership meeting it was voted to grant the Board of Directors permission to negotiate with the St.Stephen's Housing Trust,but not to agree to transfer the C.C.C.property in lieu of final approval by the general membership (in another meeting).It was estimated that the total habihties of the C.C.C.amount to about $10,000 (including the balance of the mortgage),while the worth of the property exceeds $75,000. It was suggested that an effort be made to inform other non-profit organizations within the community of the possible availability of the C.C.C.property,so that 131 all potential recipients can be considered on an equal basis.It was also strongly urged that the C.C.C.honor Board of Directors Chairman,Tom Myer's statement regarding Town "first refusal."This statement was allegedly made at the December 6,1976 Town Meeting.Considerable concern was expressed regarding the loss of the Nursery School facilities that would accompany transferral of the C.C.C.property to the St.Stephen's group. On January 5,1978 a special general membership meeting of the C.C.C.was held in response to a petition by "Thirty Concerned Members"of the C.C.C. The purpose of this meeting was to lay plans for retaining the C.C.C.as a center for community recreational activities.Mr.John Seavey,spokesman for the St. Stephen's Housing Trust (now call Community House,Inc.)was present but did not address the group. From the viewpoint of the C.C.C.Study Committee,the most significant action of the meeting was the presentation of a tally sheet which showed 1972- 1976 annual income and expenses for the C.C.C.as well as predicted possible budgets for 1978 and 1979.This tally sheet was prepared and presented by Mr. John P.Conroy,a spokesman for the "Thirty Concerned Members."The tally sheet indicated that if,in 1978,$31 ,000 could bejraised through membership fees and donations,the Center could end up with a $13,000 surplus,even if $10,000 were spent on repairs and maintenance and $9,000 were paid in salaries.During 1976 the total receipts due to memberships and donations amounted to about $10,000 and the expenses for maintenance and salaries totaled $4,815.The surplus at the end of the year was $1,134.Mr.Conroy did not lay out specific plans for obtaining the additional memberships and donations,but he felt that the goals spelled out in the tally sheet are not un- reasonable.This contention was contested by several C.C.C.Board members who were present. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS On the basis of information obtained during its meetings and other data gathering activities,the C.C.C.Study Committee has reached a number of conclusions that are relevant to the advisability of the Town acquiring the C.C.C.property.These conclusions are: 1.The C.C.C.property will very likely change hands in the near future, since there is very little hope that the C.C.C.can continue to function on its present basis.If it is not acquired by the Town or a non-profit organization,the only alternative appears to be sale to a private party. 2.There is a strong movement by the Community House Trust to acquire the C.C.C.property for elderly housing.A final decision on this action awaits approval by the C.C.C.general membership.No other non-profit organization within Cohasset has shown interest in acquiring the property. 3.No legal instrument exists for the Town to preserve the external ap- pearance of the C.C.C.buildings,if a private buyer should choose to alter it. 132 4.The town recreational commission and the recreational director have indicated that the C.C.C.faciHties are not suitable for planned,town sponsored recreational programs and that they have no interest in acquiring or sharing those facilities. 5.The only reasonable utilization of the C.C.C.faciHties by the town would appear to be for additional office space.However,the cost effectiveness of the necessary renovation is yet to be determined. In view of the above conclusions,the Study Committee offers the following recommendations: 1.The Town should not acquire the C.C.C.facilities for recreational purposes since such action would be in conflict with the recommen- dations of both the Town Recreational Commission and the Recreational Director. 2.The Town Office Study Committee should be urged to initiate and complete an evaluation of Town Office utilization of the C.C.C. property as quickly as possible,so that the opportunity to acquire that strategically located and historically significant property for use as a Town Hall Annex will not be lost to a private buyer.The Committee feels that acquisition of the property for town offices might prove highly desirable,but cannot recommend that course of action in Heu of a quantitative assessment of town office space needs and a cost- effectiveness evaluation of required renovation. 3.In lieu of a recommendation from the Town Office Study Committee, acquisition and use of the C.C.C.by a non-profit Community Service Organization should be encouraged. 133 1977 ANNUAL REPORT CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE This committee continues to function along the guideUnes estabHshed three years ago,namely: 1 .

March:The 1977-1978 budget for the school department,totalling $3,386,583 was voted by Committee,During this month we received the encouraging report that the Cherry Sheet indicated Cohasset would receive $190,000 more in State funds than it obtained the previous year.The majority of this increase was due to our special education reimbursements resulting from Chapter 766 expenditures. April:Jack Langmaid was elected as our new School Committee member, taking the place of Richard Silvia,who chose not to seek re-election. May:We began to set out School Committee goals for the 1977-1978 school year:external evaluation to be made of the Language Arts Program,K-12, with special emphasis on composition;continued improvement of the writing program,and fuller implementation of the Management-by-Objectives System to be provided for the Cohasset School Department by means of professional consultation and workshops. June:The Committee received the results of an eight-month in-depth study evaluating the school system in relation to the non-discrimination requirements of federal law Title IX.The Committee is pleased to be able to report that the Cohasset Schools were found to be in substantial compliance with all sections of the law. July:A letter was received from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges extending accreditation for Cohasset High School for another five years,through June 30,1982.This honor was gratefully received,and the Committee wishes to thank the taxpayers and staff for making this possible. The demerit system,a junior-senior high school discipline code in operation during the 1976-1977 school year,was found to be a success both by students and faculty.As a result of this favorable report.Committee voted to continue this policy for the 1977-1978 school year and subsequent school years. September:September was a busy month.Committee voted the following: For an external evaluation of the language arts curriculum to be conducted by Education Testing Service for the sum of $4,563. 142 Six in-service training or release days for the 1977-1978 school year. We also received two letters of pending retirement from:Violet O'Quin -Joseph Osgood teacher who will retire at the close of the 1978-1979 school year. Mary Donovan -Deer Hill teacher who will retire July 5,1978. A letter of resignation was accepted with regret from School Committee mem- ber,Mr.Thomas Wallace,who moved from Cohasset. Mrs.Irene Brown was appointed at a joint meeting with the School Committee and Selectmen to fill the vacancy-created by Mr.Wallace's move until the next Town election. October:Clark Chatterton was re-appointed Director of Athletics for the 1977-1978 school year. The individual building Principals each made a presentation of the enrollments for this year and projections for next year.Due to a declining enrollment at the primary level,it was recommended that all third grades be housed at the Joseph Osgood School beginning in September,1978. A moment of silent prayer was observed for Mrs.Dorothy Hall who became deceased on October 7,1977.Mrs.Hall was a dedicated person who served as a teacher at the Joseph Osgood School from 1957 until her retirement in September,1976. A wrestling team for the Junior/Senior High School was voted under the direction of Peter Clute. November:A tentative program for fifth grade gifted/talented children was outlined by the staff.A pilot program will be started at the Deer Hill School in February,1978. The Committee acknowledged two honors bestowed upon our Superintendent, Dr.Maloney.He has been invited to appear on a national panel at the annual meeting of the American Association of School Administrators in Atlanta, Georgia,and he was one of four superintendents elected on a state-wide basis to be a voting delegate to this convention which will determine national policies for the next year. December:The Committee received a preliminary budget for the 1978-1979 school year with a 4.40%increase.An alternate budget with an increase of 3.07%was presented by the Superintendent.At the present moment both budgets are being studied by the School Committee. The School Committee is very proud of the interest the Student Advisory Committee and Communication Councils have shown in submitting proposals or suggestions for improving the school system. 143 The contentment enjoyed by our school system this past year can be attributed to the efforts of our many excellent and dedicated teachers,department heads, principals,and the members of our administrative team.The School Committee is always pleased to support and cooperate with the fine professional staff.

The Superintendent and his staff are determined to provide the children of Cohasset with an educational program of the highest quality.We wish to develop those educational attributes which will enable our youngsters to succeed in a pluralistic society.To this end we have spent considerable time this past year solving specific target problems in such areas as the improvement of writing skills,understanding of mathematical concepts,spelling,and the knowledge of geographical and historical principles.An elementary curriculum guide was published puUing together the descriptions,objectives,and materials of subject areas in K-6,together with other subject area guides in the areas of English,Math,and Fine and Applied Arts,which coordinate our academic programs on a K-12 basis.Improvements to these guides are being made during the course of the 1977-1978 school year,and revisions will be incorporated into our programs before the start of the next school year.Copies of the first draft of our curriculum guides have been placed in the Paul Pratt Library and may be reviewed by interested citizens. During the summer of 1977,the science curriculum in grades 7,8,and 9 was fully revised,with implementation plarmed for September 1978.Study and necessary revisions of our grade 10,1 1 and 12 program will be undertaken during a 1978 summer workshop.Changes will be made for the beginning of the 1979-1980 school year.As a further check on our academic programs,and to determine how well our youngsters are learning,we began an experimental competency testing program in mathematics.Extra instructional time is being provided to children who did not score as well as expected.We are currently evaluating the language arts program with the assistance of Educational Testing Service,Inc.,a national testing company.The language arts report is due to be presented to us in June of 1978.We hope to be able to include any recommended changes in next year's program.To support the development of student abilities in composition,we used federal funds to purchase a variety of instructional materials,and members of our staff produced a manual to guide the teaching of composition throughout the school system. As a result of a screening procedure last spring,it is our feeling that a substantial improvement can be made in our abiUty to provide educational programs for gifted students.To this end,a committee is currently involved in establishing identification procedures,a pattern of organization,and a strategy for program development and content for these children.We anticipate the introduction of a pilot program for gifted and talented students at the fifth grade level at the Deer Hill School in February 1978. In an effort to improve the organization and operation of the school depart- ment,the Superintendent drafted 50 written operational policies and presented them to the School Committee for possible adoption.These policies will help to resolve the perplexing question of what is administration and what is policy. 145 In the area of employee relations,the Superintendent was able to draft 44 written job descriptions covering every classification of employee in the school department.Once these are formally approved by the School Committee, each person who is hired by the school department will know his or her exact title and the duties and responsibiUties of the position for which he or she has been hired.The job descriptions cover all employees from the Superintendent of Schools to individual subject matter teachers,school nurses,secretaries, custodians,bus drivers,and cafeteria personnel —actually,the whole range of employee groups.At the present moment,the 50 written policies,as well as the 44 different job descriptions,have been referred to the School Committee for consideration and implementation.Favorable action on these items is expected prior to the close of the 1977-1978 school year in June. Cohasset,like many other school systems,is facing the multi-faceted problem of how to deal with a decline in school enrollment.The most notable decline has been taking place at the Joseph Osgood School where kindergarten classes are entering with 70 youngsters,a sharp decline from the era of 120 children a few years ago.As a result of this decline in kindergarten enrollments,we will be experiencing an orderly reduction in teaching staff at that school for the next several years.The Deer Hill School,although showing a slight decline in enrollment,has our most stable population.This is probably due to the fact that emigrating families with younger children are of the age most commonly associated with entrance at the 4th,5th,or 6th grade levels.In anticipation of a dechne in enrollment at the Deer Hill School,we reduced our staff by 1 fourth grade teacher for the 1977-1978 school year.This left us vulnerable at that grade level;would you believe 1 1 new fourth graders entered that grade this year!This is indeed unusual.Even so,we can anticipate a reduction in the number of classroom teachers at the Deer Hill School beginning with the 1981 school year.At about that time,the impact of the much smaller kindergarten classes will be entering the fourth grade.The Senior High School is experiencing a decline in enrollment that is much less dramatic.This is primarily due to the fact that our largest class of 179 youngsters is in the 8th grade.However,with each succeeding class,smaller enrollments will occur.A definite decline in the number of teaching positions at the Senior High School probably will not be evident before the 1982 school year. The problem that the Superintendent faces is one of maintaining program excellence while reducing staff and preparing an accountable and defensible school budget.The cry to reduce school budgets in direct relationship to a decline in enrollment is understandable.However,such reductions must be tempered by the maintenance of program excellence in the face of inflation. These issues certainly are sensitive and highly emotional.Both the Super- intendent and the School Committee must seek reasonable solutions to these problems,while at the same time maintaining quality education for the com- munity.Please be assured that the Superintendent is committed to providing the School Committee with various optional educational plans which will reflect the decline in enrollment and orderly reduction in the number of staff positions,both teaching and non-teaching. 146 In our continued effort to keep the parent and taxpayer informed of the happenings within our schools,we have offered coffee hours,back-to-school ni^ts,parent conferences,activity meetings,individual conferences,and a variety of written documents to help bridge possible gaps between the adult population and the schools.The response to these programs is most encouraging, and we will continue with these efforts next year. The improvement of communications within our school system is of para- mount importance to the Superintendent.Accordingly,we have designed monthly,and sometimes weekly meetings among teachers at the same grade level or in the same academic discipline.Frequent meetings are scheduled between grade levels,as well as from school-to-school.Not only is it important for our teachers on a K-12 basis to understand what is going on in each building, but the transferring of pertinent academic information on each youngster helps to reduce overlapping and enables us to tailor our school programs to the needs of each individual child.Our goal is to achieve a smoothly running school system so that all personnel pull in the same direction.We encourage regular meetings among members of the staff at all grade levels.The meetings among the teachers at the transitional stages (grades 3,6 and 8)of a child's progress through the school system add to the overall strength of our academic programs.This concem and awareness helps all of us to perform better in each of our assigned tasks. The building and maintenance refurbishing programs started during my first year as Superintendent in Cohasset,together with a campaign of clean-up, paint-up,and fix-up,continued during the calendar year 1977.1 am proud of all the work that we have been able to do,much of it accomplished by our own staff members,and,therefore,will include a Htany of the major items of accom- plishment: Joseph Osgood School:painted 5 classrooms and corridors;carpeted 2 classrooms;tiled the gymnasium floors.Black-topping the walkways and parking area will be completed in the spring of 1978.Funds for this item were budgeted in the 1977-1978 appropriation. Deer Hill School:painted the exterior of the building and lavatories through- out;extensive roof and ceiling repair took place in the past year.We also replaced a broken oil line and built counters and bookshelves for our library. More recently,we purchased a surplus emergency generator,lOKW,from the Federal Govemment and are in the process of converting this unit and wiring it for use at the Deer Hill School.The generator will replace the obsolete and limited capacity wet cell battery installation that came with the school. High School:most of the work that took place during the 1977 calendar year was at the High School.In this building we painted 1 1 classrooms and corri- dors;changed 44 light fixtures from incandescent to fluorescent;carpeted the High School Administrative Office and weight room areas;panelled the administrative office and attendance office areas,and refurbished the six small rooms,including ceilings,lights,and paint of the nurse's suite.In our 147 locker rooms we installed 31 water saving shower heads;purchased 56 new shower curtains for the girls'shower area,and changed lighting in both the girls'and boys'locker rooms.For security reasons we replaced 500 locks in our corridor lockers and replaced 9 exterior doors.Additionally,we re finished the steps to the gymnasium,installed a new ceiling in the lower gymnasium lobby,and built our own storage areas for the athletic and physical education department. As a result of our systematic and progressive building and maintenance program,I am pleased to be able to report that your school buildings are noticeably brighter and are beginning to give the appearance of being well maintained.We shall continue to implement our ongoing building and main- tenance program in calendar year 1978.Through this program we hope to be able to keep the cost to the taxpayers at a minimal sum and at the same time enhance the long-range values of our buildings. At this time I would like to note the excellent work accomplished by Peter Laugelle and the men of the Tree and Highway Department.The cooperation between Town departments has effected significant improvement in the grounds adjacent to all our schools,particularly the renovations that were accomplished at the Deer Hill School and Milleken Field.The heavy use of our athletic fields places an extra burden upon Mr.Laugelle and his men,and the School Depart- ment wishes to acknowledge in an appreciative manner their efforts in our behalf. I am proud of my good fortune in being associated with education in Cohasset.What has impressed me most is the open support of the townspeople for a quality program of instruction within reasonable costs.As a parent,tax- payer,and school official,I sense a need to continue this spirit of cooperation which is translated into a cUmate wherein the staff and students can function productively.There is still much to be done,and with the continued support of parents and the community at large,much will be done to make our schools what all of us want for our children.

Details are presented with respect to the July 1,1976 to June 30,1977 estimated expenditures and their apportionment to member towns,actual receipts and expenditures,and a balance sheet of outstanding debt as of June 30,1977. Total operating expenditures for the fiscal year were $1,192,1 15.00 and capital outlay expenditures were $122,151.70 details of which are shown in the expenditure schedule. Various additional expenditures under self-explanatory titles were made as per details set forth in the expenditure schedilte. Salary increases for all employees for the fiscal year 1976-1977 averaged 7% and the total of all salaries paid equaled approximately 70%of operating costs. On June 14,1977 a new collective bargaining agreement was settled with our Teacher's Federation for a two year period beginning September 1,1977 thru August 31,1979,which provides for basic salary increases of 3^/^%for fiscal year 1977-78 and 6Wo for fiscal year 1978-79. On November 17,1976 the South Shore Regional School District Committee, after an open hearing on that date with members of the Board of Selectmen and Advisory Committees of the member towns of the school district,finalized plans to construct a "mini-addition"to our school facilities to conform with the mandated statutory requirements of Chapter 622 Acts of 1971 to provide Equal Standards of Admission;Chapter 766 Acts of 1972 to provide for students with Special Needs and Chapter 925 Acts of 1973 the Anti-Discrimination Law. Estimated cost of the "mini-addition"has been determined to be $520,000.00 and available funds will provide the necessary financing as follows: Total Estimated Cost $520,000.00 Use of Available Funds: Balance in Expansion Planning Account $85,113.00 Transfer from New Equipment Account 83,400.00 Transfer from Surplus Revenue 296,000.00 464,513.00 Balance from 1977-78 Capital Outlay Assessment $55,487.00 156 By planning not to bond the $520,000.00 estimated cost of the proposed "mini-addition"the South Shore Regional School District will save approxi- mately $109,200.00 in interest costs assuming a 5 year loan at 7%. On January 25,1977 the State Board of Education approved a grant to aid this project in amount of $509,000.00 and it is estimated that 57.37%or $292,013.30 will actually be made available to the school district in five equal installments of $58,402.66 beginning with the fiscal year 1977-78 thru 1981- 82. On June 7,1977 the General Contract for the construction of the "mini- addition"was awarded to Scaldini Inc.,Medford,Massachusetts,in the original amount of $395,696.00.Ground breaking ceremonies took place on June 14, 1977 and construction was started June 27,1977.Target date for completion of the project is December 31,1977. Five additional classrooms wiQ be provided by the "mini-addition"together with girls locker and shower facilities.The total enrollment capacity of our school (370 students)will not be increased by the "mini-addition"but serious overcrowded classroom conditions will be corrected by provision of 91 additional student spaces;as well as enable the expansion of our present library area. Surplus Revenue was determined to be $369,569.99 as of June 30,1977 and was derived from the following sources: i Balance July 1,1976 $593,596.86 Additions: Excess of District Receipts over estimates used Interest Income $43,971.21 Shop Sales 26,838.36 State Grants Operating Cost Reimbursement 133,452.00 Regional School Aid Reimbursement 44,041.16 Transportation Reimbursement 2,042.00 Miscellaneous Income 2,785.40 t Tuition Income 4,207.00 Unexpended Appropriations 1976-77 Operating Costs 39,636.00 296,973.13 $890,569.99 Deductions: 1976 Surplus Revenue Used to reduce 1976-77 Operating Costs 225,000.00 Transfer to Expansion Planning Account 296,000.00 521,000.00 Balance June 30,1977 $369,569.99 A $50,000.00 portion of the 1976-77 Surplus Revenue has been voted by the School District Committee to be used to reduce the July 1,1977 to June 30, 157 1978 fiscal year operating cost assessment to member towns,resulting in a remaining balance of $319,569.99.
