The Selectmen appointed By-Law Study Committee,has diligently continued its task of updating and codifying the By-Laws of the town.Some revisions were accepted by the last annual meeting but it has since been judged more appropriate to complete all re- visions and submit a total package for acceptance,possibly at a special meeting. The Growth Policy Committee appointed by the Selectmen in compliance with Chapter807ofthe Acts of 1975,completed its task and submitted its report to the Massa- chuestts Office of State Planning.The committee is to be commended for a job well done within the time schedule set forth. A new modular type ambulance was acquired at reduced cost through a quantity pur- chase arrangement with the state.It is equipped with the latest life-saving devices and only awaits delivery of a radio before it will be certified for service.Responsibility for its opera- tion has been transfered to the fire department with both fire and police personnel co- operating in manning it.Otir Emergency Medical Technician (E.M.T.)training program has been expanded thus assuring that Cohasset will have one of the best emergency medical services in the area. The town has continued to receive Federal Revenue Sharing funds.Funds received this year of $95,277.00 compared to $84,507.00 for the previous calendar year.As in the past, funds were applied in a manner which reduces the tax rate.The future of Revenue Sharing will be determined by the new administration.We trust that the concept continues as it has been a useful means of income which may not have been available to Cohasset,other- wise. We have continued to benefit from both the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (C.E.T.A.)and Youth Corps programs.Both the town and its participants have bene- fited from these programs which are 100 percent Federally funded.It appears,now,that they will continue at least through next year. Several public works programs under the jurisdiction of the Selectmen were carried out during the past year.First,with the cooperation of the Highway and Tree &Park Depart- ments and under the direction of the Government Island Committee,an expanded park- ing facility accommodating 50 vehicles was completed,greatly relieving congested con- ditions on the island.Next,a 1 0,000 gallon central gasoline storage facility was installed at the High School.This became necessary when suppliers served notice that extra charges would be made for deliveries to more than one location.The situation was further com- plicated with the introduction of nolead fuels.The new gasoline dispensers employ a ticketed record of sales to appropriate departments for accounting purposes.A turn- around,primarily for school busses,was constructed at the cul-de-sac at the North- westerly termination of Doane Street.This too,was a joint effort between several depart- ments.We are grateful to Police Chief Feola who donated the land to make the project 19 possible.Both the Highway and Tree &Park Departments did the work.Next,the tennis courts at Milliken Field were totally resurfaced and new fencing added in conjunction with the Recreation Committee.Lastly,the practice area of MilHken Field has been further improved and fences relocated.All the fill for the project,which was substantial, was delivered to the site at no cost from the various construction projects in the town. The other members of the Board wish to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate fellow member Mary Jeanette Murray on her election to the General Court of the Com- monwealth and to wish her well. The entire Board extends its sincere appreciation to all Townspeople,officials,em- ployees,boards,and committees for their cooperation and assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Clark,Chairman Mary Jeanette Murray Henry W.Ainslie,Jr. REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL INC .(SSCAC) South Shore Community Action Council Inc.is a nonprofit,Federal,State,local and privately funded anti-poverty agency,operating through Federal mandate in the towns of Carver,Cohasset,Duxbury,Hanover,Hull,Kingston,Marshfield,Norwell,Pembroke, Plymouth,and Scituate.SSCAC provides social services,acts as liaison to State Social Services offices,functions as a clearing house of referral information,attempts to organize residents around relevant issues,and generally functions as an advocate for low income residents of the twelve (1 2)T own Council area.

Planning Board report by Mark E.Goodrich Report to Town Meeting by the Planning Board Re Water Project. Special Town Meeting Monday,January 19,1976. The following is presented conditionally,and if and only if the water project to be 23 presented tonight passes,the Planning Board will agree to the following: The Planning Board is most sympathetic to the water problem in Cohasset.Our remarks are not addressed to the water project per se,but to changes in the zoning by-law proposed by the water project's sponsors.Further,these recommendations are based on the premise that the amendment to the zoning by-law.The Flood Plain and Watershed Protection District Amendment of the last town meeting is in effect.We discussed this with Charles Humphrey,who is associated with Town Council and who is the lawyer for the Water Department.He felt this was a safe assumtion.The Planning Board has re- viewed and held a public hearing with regard to the amendment as required by law at the request ofthe Water Department.It was unfortunate that the Planning Board has to hold its mandatory hearing under such short notice and such complex conditions.It is the board's understanding that the proponents of the water supply project feel that if these proposed changes are not met,the project will be seriously impaired because of the dead- lines present in the funding program.The recommendations which follow were made on the basis of three members of the Planning Board recommending we follow this course, one against and one abstaining.The person against this recommendation feels very strongly the informative process,the checks and balances that are inherent in a Board of Appeals hearing are too valuable to be compromised.We are all very sympathetic with this stand.The person abstaining further felt that these recommendations were too broad and left the Flood Plain and Watershed Protection District by-law too weakened. Because of the Town's serious need for water,we are compromising our best thoughts and desires as to how this by-law change could be made.We are doing this because of the time involved to make these changes in relation to the stated urgency on the part of the Water Department do not coincide.We,therefore,are making the following recommended changes to the proposed amendment to the zoning by-law as printed in the special town meeting warrant.This is a compromise in response to the changes proposed by the Water Department.Our recommendation is conditioned upon these changes being made.Our changes are to limit the scope ofthe proposed amendment to this particular project.In Paragraph Six it was strongly recommended by the minority on the board that at least the word Cohasset be inserted so it would read,"offices,buildings and works for Cohasset public water supply purposes... ."However,the majority of the Board approved this change without that being inserted. 1 . Under P.6,line4,after the word "incidental",add the three v^ords public recreational uses. U nder P.6,line 5 ,after the w ord "public"add the two words water supply. U nder P.6,line 6,after the word "control"add the two words and management. Thus making P.6 read as follows: "6.the creation,construction,alteration,enlargement,maintenance,and proper use of dams,reservoirs,water control structures,water treatment storage,pumping and trans- mission facilities together with appropriate incidental public recreational uses,struc- tures,offices and buildings and works for public water supply purposes and under the control and management of any Federal,State or municipal agency,all as may be per- mitted by general or special laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and not with- standing the fact that any of the same may temporarily or permanently alter (1)the water level;(2)the nature of flood storage capacity;and (3)the natural flow of water within the district." 2.That Item?be stricken. 24- 3.Assuming,and ONLY IF G of Section 1 A of the Special Flood Plain and Watershed Protection District is in effect and will be in effect,will we agree to any zoning change which deletes F,Protection of Natural Features,which is in the Zoning By-Law adopted in 1969.It should be pointed out that this amendment to our by-law,Special Flood Plain and Watershed Protection District may not be in effect,because it may as yet have been approved by the Attorney General of the Commonwealth.We refer to this in our in- troductory remarks. Further,the Planning Board wishes to go on notice that there is enough time with regard to the sewer plans and engineering that it expects and requests it be kept abreast by the Sewer Commissioners in their studies. In that regard the Planning Board has requested and has scheduled a meeting with the Sewer Commissioners for 8:00 p.m.February 2.We are making a special point of this because we wish to avoid the last minute gun-to-the temple pressure tactic that was used in this instance. We feel the public has a right to know and understand the type of facilities it is voting to pay for,and to use,and to live with in the future. We hope that in the future other boards such as the Board of Water Commissioners and the Sewer Commissioners will respect and foster the attention of all interested citizens of this Town in their plans and programs in their formative stage. Amendment by Mark G oodrich for the Planning Board. Moved Under P.6,line 4,after the word "incidental",add the three words public recreational uses. That Item 7 be stricken.

MEMORANDUM re MR.JOSEPH BARRESI Cohassethas some things to boast about besides its beauty and one of them is its many capable citizens who give of their time and talent to help run the Town. Prominent in this group of volunteers,is the Advisory Committee which throughout the year contributes a great deal of time,energy and experience in assisting us to make in- telligent decisions regarding Town Affairs.We have been particularly fortunate over the past years,in having highly knowledgeable and dedicated advisory Committees. We have been doubly fortunate in having had outstanding chairmen of these com- mittees,who have clearly and simply supplied the information and advice necessary to de- cide on the q uestions brought before us. Our present chairman,Mr.Joseph Barresi,falls in this category of outstanding chair- men.He came to Cohasset in 1961,having filled the position of Director of the Boston Municipal Research Bureau from 1953 to 1976.He has resigned this position to become a vice-president in Scudder,Stevens &Clark,in the municipal bonds division.He is presently president of the Massachusetts Association of Advisory Board chairmen.He has also coached Little League Teams. The Cohasset Town By-Laws specify that a member of the Advisory Committee may not serve more than two consecutive terms,which Mr.Barresi has done,so he must retire. His administration of the Committee as chairman and the clarity of his explanations at Town Meeting,have been superior.We are grateful to him for a conscientious and skillful j ob and believe our appreciation can be best expressed by the applause of this Meeting.

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 a very favorable response to the three formal swine bivalent and mono-valent flu vaccine clinics held during the fall.It should be noted no serious untoward effects were reported for a total of 895 injections. The health agent,public health nursing staff and volunteers must be highly commended for their efficiency during these clinics. The recycling program has and will continue to improve with the upgrading of the physical location at the disposal area as well as the presence and useage of the new com- partmental disposal bins.Further plans for compaction of the material are being formulated. Final plans for a three phase sanitary landfill area were submitted to the state and ap- proval is expected in the near future.This will give the town a minimum of six years usage at the present location.

BIRTHS reported by Town Clerk —48 REPORTED COMMUNICABLE DISEASES: Strep Throats Animal Bites 1 Dysentary Meningitis 2 Syphilitis Shingellosis Mumps Hepatitis Gonorrhea Chicken Pox 4 Salmonella Rubella The incidence of Tuberculosis is not declining.The method of treatment has changed and people are not hospitalized as long or as often.By careful attention and good follow 127 up on required tests,treatment can be started earlier and thereby prevent and control the spread somewhat.As recommended by the State and Town By-Laws Mr.O'Brien and the Board of Health have been most cooperative with the League in seeing that all food handlers,school personnel and employees of nursing homes are up to date on their tests. There are 23 food handling establishments and all have cooperated. The incidence of veneral disease is not declining but it is difficult to arrive at accurate figures.Many active cases and contacts are not reported due to the nature of the illness. The Cohasset Social Service League provides the nursing service for the Board of Health and all residence are covered for health services.The senior Health Clinics have in- creased in attendance and much appreciated by those attending.With the advent of planned parenthood the age range of our Keep Well CHnic has changed —fewer children at the Well Child —more attendance at the Senior Clinics. It was my pleasure to have worked this year with Mr.Kevin O'Brien and the Board of Health.They are most anxious to see that the health needs of the townspeople are met. Once again Mrs.Loud and I are indebted to the Water,Police,and Highway depart- ment for their cooperation and help. We wish for Cohasset continued good health.

The 1976 Town Meeting appropriated funds for the purchase of a new aerial ladder truck.Specifications were drawn up and bids were sought in compliance with local and state regulations.Based upon my recommendation the Board of Selectmen approved the purchase of this vehicle from the Seagrave Corporation,one of the oldest and most reliable manufacturers of this type of truck. This aerial ladder truck will be diesel powered with automatic transmission,power steering and enclosed cab.The concept of the rear mounted turntable and ladder make the overall length of the truck shorter and more maneuverable,important for the narrow winding streets and roadways. A program of systematic replacement of apparatus is necessary to keep the financial im- pact at a minimum and maintain the age of the apparatus within reasonable limits.This type of program is presently being conducted by the Capital Budget Committee.How- ever,I feel that it would be wise to annually set aside funds to meet these and similar obligations.This would also aid in reducing the financial impact by spreading it over several years and having the funds on hand at time of purchase. PERSONNEL The Table of Organization of the department calls for twenty-four officers and men, assigned in four groups of six men each group.Since July 1,1975,the department has been forced to operate at a reduced rate of manpower due to lack of a list of certified can- didates from the Division of Personnel Administration (Civil Service).At the end of September a list of candidates was received,the candidates interviewed,and the following appointments made;effective November 1,1976 ..Mark H.Trask,Thomas P.Finegan, James P.Runey,Matthew B.Marr and James R.Sheerin.The appointment of these five -131 Cohasset men to the department restored the level of manpower to twenty-four or six men per group.They will be assigned to a regular work shift January 3,1977,and have com- pleted a basic training in all aspects of firefighting and department procedures. The paper strength of each of these groups is six men but with the authorized leaves granted—vacation,sick leave,etc.it is more realistically five men.In order to maintain a basic manning for the fire protection of Cohasset and operate the ambulance at a satis- factory level—I feel that four additional firefighters are needed.Funds for these men have been included in the budget for fiscal 1977-1 978. With the exception of personnel added to the department to compensate for a re- duction in hours—no personnel has been added in ten years to strengthen the manning on each group.The number of incidents has almost doubled without the operation of the ambulance.This addition of manpower is also outlined in the report of Mr.Warren Y. Kimball on Fire Protection in Cohasset,dated 1974. Firefighter Roger W.Lincoln was promoted,after passing a competetive examination, to the rank of Fire Captain;effective July 1 ,1976.

Hopefully the Committee that is currently in existence to study this housing problem of the Fire Department can make a report that will initiate some action and get this problem off top dead center. In conclusion I would like to thank the citizens of Cohasset for their cooperation and support of the Fire Department.To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,other depart- ment heads and department members,and all committees for their understanding, guidance and assistance.To all members of the Fire Department for their fine coopera- tion and performance of assigned duties,my sincere thanks and appreciation. Respectfully submitted, Charles Piepenbrink Chiefof Fire Department and Forest Fire Warden REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT The Highway Department spent most of the winter months plowing snow and sanding streets and private ways. Pond Street was resurfaced,drain pipes and catch basins were installed.The estimated contract for this job was $45,000.00.The Highway Department completed it for under $30,000.00. We helped the School Department with the tennis court problem,the Government Island with its parking area and the turn around at the end of Doane Street. Two and one half miles of Type I Bituminous concrete,2,500 feet of mix in place sur- face was laid and 8,000 gallons of liquid asphalt were used in sealing streets.3545 feet of drainpipe and 20 catch basins were installed. Streets were swept,catch basins and culverts cleaned.Street signs and road lines were painted.Street signs were repaired and some fences replaced. This year the drainage should be completed on Linden Drive and the effort will be made to correct the conditions at Doane Street. I thank the Town Officials who have assisted me during the year.To the men of the Highway Department who work regularly and faithfully under sometimes very difficult conditions,I am very grateful. Respectfully submitted, Louis C.Bailey,Jr. Highway Surveyor -133 .\ ANNUAL REPORT OF \THE GOVERNMENT ISLAND COMMITTEE With the generous assistance of the Highway Department,the entrance driveway at the Habormaster's office,the driveway leading past the rental dwellings and into the parking lot,as well as the parking lot,was brought to finish grade and paved with mix in place. The parking lot was used by the Rotarians,St.Anthony's Church and Sailing Club Pic- nic.There is now available for Town Departments a quantity of loam and subsoil stock- piled adjacent to the parking lot ready for spring removal.This Committee,with the assistance of volunteers will start a brush removal program this spring to open up the area for picnic sites. Respectfully submitted, Edwin A.Young,Chairman Edward Figueiredo Rocco F.Laugelle Harry Ritter Herbert R.Towle Hamilton Tewksbury REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Personnel Committee is looking forward to being able to carry on the plans of its predecessors as well as making some further implementations.In this connection there will be the continuation and expansion of the Central Filing System for sick leave and vacation data. During the past year the various Department heads —excluding the Police and Fire Department—submitted information concerning the duties of the employees in their respective departments,in accordance with a request from the Personnel Committee.The information submitted must now be examined and evaluated. The Selectmen have appointed the Personnel Committee as Bargaining agents for the Board of Selectmen in negotiations with the Cohasset Police,Fire and Public Works employees.Mr.Charles Humphreys will act as negotiator for the Town.Mr.Humphreys will be responsible to the Personnel Committee who will in turn be responsible to the Board of Selectmen. On July 1,1976,Mr.Frank B.Chatterton,former Chairman of the Personnel Committee,and Mr.James F.Kearney left the Personnel Committee.The loss of those two Committee members is already being felt.The Personnel Committee has now been brought up to full strength by the three following appointments:Millard L.Drake, R oger L.R ice and Leonard F.Lawrence. Respectfully submitted, Norman F.Megathlin,Chairman Richard L.Yake Millard L J Drake Roger L.Rice Leonard F.Lawrence 134 REPORT OF THE DOG OFFICER i I was appointed Dog Officer of the Town of Cohasset,1 July 1976 b^the Board of Selectmen to enforce Article 24,as amended,of the last Town Meeting,also to enforce regulationsasdefinedinChapter 140,Section 136A-175 of the General Laws of the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts. During the past six months 133 complaints were investigated.Several restraining orders were issued. We have been using the Kresshingham Kennels in Hingham as a pound.This is working out quite satisfactory for the Town.I have had excellent support from the Board of Select- men and Chief of Police. Respectfully submitted, John H.Barrett,Dog Officer REPORT OF HARBORMASTER To the Citizens of Cohasset and Board of Selectmen: The demands on Cohasset Harbor are greater each year.There is no way we can handle more boats without long range planning,which should start immediately.The vessels in the Harbor are operating at a hardship level due to overcrowding.This past year,the Selectmen chose to freeze the waiting list on the recommendation of the Harbor Study Committee.At the present time there is a three to five year waiting period.Due to the in- crease in Commercial interests,we do not see any hope to cut this in the near future. The following was undertaken under Capital Outlay this past year.A new 35 HP motor was purchased for the work boat.A contract was let out for the rebuilding of Lawrence Wharf—completion date to be April 1,1977.This finalizes a plan started five years ago to rebuild all Town floats in order to cut down on maintenance costs.At the present time the Department is maintaining eleven floats,four runways,three piers and a walkway at Mar- gin Street.Due to the total ban on using hoses put into effect by the Water Department,it became necessary to ask for a transfer to have a 2"self-primer pump installed at Govern- ment Island in order to wash down bait juice and other matter. One other project is still to be undertaken this fiscal year.Removal of old piling left from the tearing down of Government Island Pier is necessary because of deeper draft boats using the facility.This project will be completed in the Spring. For the best interest of all persons using the facilities of Cohasset Harbor and from the standpoint of safety and navigation,it continues to be necessary for all Harbor rules and regualtions to be strictly complied with. There is a definite need for more man hours to be applied to Night Patrol.It was proven last summer with the help of a CETA employee working 40 hours a week —8:00 p.m.to 4:00 a.m.,that vandalism was cut to a bare minimum.The more man hours applied the better the results.I am requesting the same hourly coverage for the next fiscal year. Respectfully submitted, Harry H.Ritter Harbormaster -135 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE COH ASSET FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY^1976 1 976 was a pivotal year for the C ohasset library. THE TOWN VOTED TO RENOVATE LIBRARY.At the May town meeting, $201,000 was voted to renovate unused space in the library's lower level and to rearrange the use of library space to produce an efficient,economical and attractive town library. Cohasset's support of the renovation proposal was strong affirmation of the Hbrary's importance to the town.Thevote was also a great credit to the hard work and cooperative efforts of many persons.The work of the trustees over several years provided a base.The Friends of the Library proved their friendship by their outstanding efforts to provide in- formation to the town on the proposal.The various town boards conscientiously screened the plan and supplied important support.The town meeting carefully considered the merits of renovation and decided that the time to act has arrived. RENOVATION PLANS PROCEED.Since May,the trustees have been working closely with the architects,Anderson Notter Finegold Associates.The final design of the renovation has been accepted by the trustees and the ensuing phases of construction documents,contract bidding,actual construction,and furnishing are geared to comple- tion in the Fall of 1977. The addition of a part-time professional to the library staff has significantly increased both service to users and overall efficiency of the library's operations.Approval of a CETA part-time employee,funded by the federal government,has permitted the library to serve Cohassett's children more effectively,both in the public schools and at the library. The library staff continues to perform a truly outstanding job for Cohasset under the direction of our librarian,Richard Hayes.The Friends of the Library,under Jacqueline Dormitzer's leadership,continue to be indispensable in both supportive activities and in the many volunteer hours which produce both substantive results and immeasurable vitality to the library.

RESERVE REQUEST SERVICE.The library filled about 3,300 reserve requests for book>^,'magazine articles,records or information which were not owned or in circulation wifen users needed them.This is a 43%increase over last year.Most of the materials requested are purchased because they will be useful to many others.The library purchases multiple copies of popular books so users will not have to wait unreasonably long. Reserves represent less than 4%of total loans —most users find what they want on shelf. INTERLIBRARY LOAN.If the library cannot or should not buy something a user needs,it can usually be obtained through interlibrary loan (ILL)from another library.Of the 3,300 requests mentioned,233 (7%)were sent to Cohasset by other libraries.In addition to this number are films and deposit collections from the Regional Library System.The Thomas Crane Public Library in Quincy filled 53%of these ILL requests,the Boston Public Library 20%,and 12 other public libraries and private institutions the rest. ILL requestsarecirculated through the Regional Library System by phone,mail,teletype and daily delivery van. SUNDAY OPENINGS.Since September,the library has increased hours to include Sunday afternoons,September through June.The library is now open seven days a week. Sunday hours are very popular. FEDERAL GRANT.A grant of $3,030 was awarded by the Massachusetts Department of Education,Bureau of Library Extension,underTitle I of the Library Services and Con- struction Act.The fund was used to initiate a new service consisting of 532 adult educa- tional audio cassettes,six cassette players,and storage equipment.The materials may be borrowed free of charge. -137 SUMMER READING INCENTIVE PROGRAM.This regular summer program for children is intended to promote skill and pleasure in reading.Reading Achievement Certificates are given to everyone who reads ten books and a paperback book of the reader's choice is given to everyone who reads twenty books during the program.Partici- pation was up 33%over last year,with 92 children receiving certificates and 72 earning books.Hundreds of other children used the library —circulation of children's books was 38%higher in June-August than in any other three months of the year.Our goal continues to be that every child in Cohasset should find the public library a valuable summer recreation place. FRIENDS OF THE COHASSET LIBRARY,INC.This membership organization donated over 2,000 hours of work at routine library tasks and countless hours in service to shut-ins and nursing homes,programs for adults and children,exhibits,publicity, membership recruitment and the annual book sale.Funds raised in membership dues and the book sale pay all expenses of programs and publicity,and enable the Friends to purchase books and special items for the library. GIFTS.Dozens of people gave used books,some of which were added to the library collection and the rest of which were donated to the Friends book sale.Cash gifts for books were received from: M rs.R obert G .Ripley,in memory of Mary J.McCarthy Cohasset Women's Club,in memory of Elaine Gould,Lou Mulligan,Helen Rust and Helen Vosoff Joy Spalding Rabin,in memory ofElizabeth Howkins Cohasset Garden Club,in memory of Mrs.Roger Coulter and Mrs.Conover Fitch.

Richard E.Hayes Chief Librarian RECREATION DIRECTOR'S ANNUAL REPORT-1976 The annual report of the Director of Recreation offers the opportunity to inform the citizens of Cohasset of progress in the area of recreational programs,facilities,services, and opportunities. Registrations for the 1976 playground program numbered over 300.The program operated for 8 weeks offering a variety of activities such as arts and crafts,low-organized games,sports,Music Circus performances,field trips,and swimming.An end of the year cookout was held at the Little League field for all participants. Approximately 175 individuals registered for tennis lessons during the summer months.There will be a recommendation for increased instructors for the summer of 1977. Four (4)Tuesday evening band concerts were held during the summer,all of which were well attended.Concerts will again be planned for next year. -138- OnNovember9,1976,the Recreation Commission appointed Cohasset's first full-time Director of Recreation in the person of John M.Worley.With the advent of a full-time director,Cohasset's recreation programs and services will expand and become year 'round.The Recreation Department hopes to offer recreation for all citizens.We would appreciate as much feed-back from as many residents as possible in order that we may remain in close contact with the needs of our community on a dynamic basis. This year the street hockey program,co-ordinated by Mr.John Langmaid,was con- ducted under the auspices of the Recreation Commission,over 180 youngsters registered for the 1 4 week winter program. Ski lessons for youth and adults will be offered for the 1976-1977 winter with lessons held at Blue Hills,Milton,Mass. The Recreation Commission and Director would like to extend warm thanks to the Board of Selectmen,School Department,and the many other departments,committees, and individuals who have helped make a smooth transition from part-time to full-time. Specifically,we would like to thank Mr.Arthur Clark,Mr.Kenneth Sargent,Mr. William Signorelli,Dr.John Maloney,and Mr.John Raftery for their invaluable assistance. Respectfully submitted, John M.Worley,Director Cohasset Recreation Dept. REPORT OF THE COHASSET CONSERVATION COMMISSION » The Conservation Commission held many hearings during the year on applications under the Wetlands Protection Act,Chapter 131,Section 40.The commission continues to spend the major portion of its time administering the Wetlands Protection Act.A major effort was made during the year to halt the creation of "man-made beaches along the shores of Little Harbor. The Commission also focused its energy during the year on acquiring the tract of land owned by the American Legion on Forest Avenue.It is hoped that this land can be ac- quired in the near future and that reimbursement of one-half the cost thereof can be ob- tained from the Commonwealth through the "self-help"program. Respectfully submitted, Whitney L.Scott,Chairman John F.Hubbard Patsy K.Rabstejnek Thomas S.Duggan,Jr. John K.Bryant John F.Elliott Margaret Dillon 139 ANNUAL REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD During the past year,the work of the Planning Board has been in three general areas:routing administration of existing regulations;reviewing and revising the zoning by-law;and future planning. The Board has spent many hours reviewing and drafting revisions to the zoning by-law in order to clarify it and bring it into conformity with the State Zoning Act as amended. The Board plans to present a new by-law for town meeting action which hopefully will be more useful for citizens and town boards. To help citizens use the present by-law,as well as to evaluate new proposals,the Board has compiled a zoning packet including zoning and flood plain maps,the 1969 by-law and all amendments. The Board has adopted and printed Site Plan Review Rules and Regulations. 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 committee 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.We have met with the Board of Health to discuss percolation test procedures which are critical factors influencing the town's future development.The above activities stem from the recommendations of the Coastal Zone Study completed last year.Other aspects of future planning that have com- manded the Board's attention include the Cohasset Growth Policy Committee's report and future development along R oute 3 A. Three new members joined the Board late in the spring.Wayne Sawchuk was elected, and Elizabeth Holt and Glenn Pratt were appointed to fill vacancies.Near perfect atten- dance characterizes the weekly meeting of the Board,as well as numerous on-site inspec- tions 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. The Cohasset Planning Board wishes to salute Nathan W.Bates for his long and dedi- cated service to the town as a member of this Board since its creation in 1938 until his retirement in 1976.We wish to thank all other town agencies for their cooperation with the general planning of the town and routine activities. Respectfully submitted, Mark E.Goodrich,Chairman Elizabeth A.Holt Roberta A.Leary Glenn A.Pratt Wayne Sawchuk 140- REPORT OF THE BY-LAW STUDY COMMITTEE The By-Law Study Committee of the Town of Cohasset reports with regret the resig- nation of John A,Golden,Jr.,who served as its Chairman until January,1976.Cornelia Leary O'M alley has been chosen as his successor.The remaining four members of the Committee appointed by the Selectmen in 1974 meet at least one evening a week in the Town Hall. The Committee is in the process of reorganizing the existing municipal By-Laws and incorporating relevant actions of the General Court and the Town Meeting since the last revision of the By-Laws in 1960.Because of the interdependence of the various articles and sections of the proposed reorganized and revised By-Laws,the Committee feels that it would be more practical to present a complete revision of the By-Laws,section by section, for consideration at a future Town Meeting,rather than to present individual sections from time to time.Before the final draft is submitted for action by the Town Meeting,the Committee plans to send each section to the appropriate officer or department chairman for review and recommendations and to hold a public hearing. The Committee wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation for coopera- tion received from the Town Moderator,The Board of Selectmen,and other municipal officers and department chairmen who have provided the Committee with valuable in- formation.

Respectfully submitted, Peter G.Laugelle Tree &Park Superintendent -141 - REPORT OF THE HISTORIC COMMISSION The inventory of the towns physical historic assets has nearly been completed at the dis- trict level.The information is now being reviewed and correlated to be submitted to the M assachusetts H istoric Commission.We hope to have this lengthy project completed this year.The state Historic Commission has been using our inventory procedure as an example for other communities to follow. The historic records of the town are being brought together,reviewed and cross in- dexed from the various storage places in the town hall.Until this time,there has not been any indexing of town records and this will be a valuable project in preserving the history of the town.We are fortunate to have a CETA employee,Joe Hamilton,to do the work for us. We are negotiating the possibility of the South Shore Vocational School rebuilding the town clock.The works need a major overhauling,there is one broken gear and a badly worn gear in the time train.If the clock is rebuilt now it will insure the town of having it keep time for at least another hundred years. Our meetings are open to the public and we welcome volunteers who would like to help in preserving the historic flavor of the past and present in Cohasset. Respectfully submitted, Jan Daggett Linda Hewitt (Secretary) Mary Jane McArthur Francis Collins Betty P.Enders Avis M.Sweeney Noel Ripley (Chairman) REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH WARDEN I submit herewith a report of my stewardship as Shellfish Warden for the year 1976. We were assisted this past year by Rev.Richard Burton,a marine biologist,associated with Project Dominion of Bridgewater,Mass.with reseeding efforts in Little Harbor.

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 2048 man hours was spent on this operation,opening 62,760 feet of marsh reclamation ditches.27,975 feet of new ditches was installed.19,775 feet of obstruction was cleared from brooks and streams and 88,400 feet of brush was cut and cleared for pur- pose of access. 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 lar- vaciding operation in the Spring by treating 9840 acres of woodland swamps.This opera- tion is preceded by checking sites for a mosquito larvae count and then post sprayed checked for results. During the main part of the season,crews circulate throughout the Project checking breeding sites.1571 man hours was spent larval checking and 529 man hours was spent in actual larvaciding with ground equipment,treating 1062 acres.384 man hours was spent larval treating 1 3,062 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.2244 man hours was spent on this opera- tion treating 9 1 40 acres. The Project received 1239 request calls for service.All calls were answered and treated in one manner or another. The Project is also engaged in two other programs in five of its towns,the control of the biting Greenhead Fly and the brackish water Midge.6040 acres was aerial treated in three towns for Greenhead Fly Control and 1 75 acres was aerial treated for Midge Control. During the past year the Project used three types of insecticides:Abate —in a sand granular application at a rate maximum of 0.2 of a pound per acre,Baytex —formulated 145 .in water or oil at a rate maximum of .046 of a pound per acre for larval control and a rate maximum of .062 of a pound for adult control,and Malathion —formulated in water at a rate maximum of 0.2 of a pound to the acre for adult control.All insecticides used by the Project are registered for use in mosquito control operations and the recommended maxi- mum dosage never exceeded.All Project personnel have been duly licensed by the Massa- chusetts Pesticide Board qualifying them to handle and disburse insecticides safely. The Project wishes to extend its 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. Respectfully submitted, Simon J.Veneau, Superintendent South Shore Mosquito Control Project REPORT OF THE COHASSET WIRE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: I herewith submit the annual report of the Wire Department for the year 1976. Fire and Traffic Signals: Fire alarm wire was replaced on Forest Avenue and a portion of Jerusalem Road, Sohier Street,and parts of Gushing Highway.In all,over three miles of new wire was in- stalled.New boxes were installed on Gushing Highway (2),and at Ripley Road.Two boxes were replaced on Atlantic Avenue.Due to saltwater corrosion,all the Hillside Streets were trimmed out by the Tree Department,where work will begin this spring on re- placement of wire.All boxes were painted and tested.Traffic lights were put in good work- ing condition.A new traffic light was installed at North Main Street and Forest Avenue, and also a new flashing light on Forest Avenue.These lights were installed through the efforts of Mr.Frank Golleton,Director,Governor's Highway Safety Bureau and a Gohas- set resident,at no cost to the Town. Wire Inspection: All work done by electrical contractor was inspected by the Department,and permit fees turned into the Town Treasurer. Town Buildings: All electrical work and repairs was done by the Wire Department in buildings owned by the Town.I might add,that all electrical work in the schools is done by the Department with a great saving to the Town. In conculsion I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen,again this year the men of the Tree and Park Department who worked long hours with us trimming out fire Hnes,and a special thanks to the men who work with me. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore Superintendent of Wire Department 146 SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT—1976 Leadership,teamwork and cooperation,equals advancements for the youth of our community.At all times the Committee was aware of the educational needs of the Cohasset Public Schools as well as the concerns of the parents and citizens for a good educational system,efficiently administered. The repair work has been done on the Sullivan gym floor.Besides the regular holiday maintenance carried on during the vacation,three classrooms at the High School were painted;tile work was done at the Osgood School;new lighting fixtures were installed in the lavatories at the High School — extensive maintenance programs in all three schools continues. The Facilities Committee was asked to make a survey of the needs of the athletic fields for the entire school system for the next five years. The Chairman of the English Department,grades 7-12,reported to the Com- mittee on the goals and philosophy in the four major areas of language arts —composition,oral,language study and literature. In March Mr.Kilburn E.Culley,Jr.was employed as Director of Cur- riculum and Instruction for the Cohasset Public Schools through June 30, 1977. The Superintendent's grade reorganization plan for the Joseph Osgood and Deer Hill Schools was approved. A public meeting was held in the auditorium of the High School to review and report on the testing program in the Cohasset Public Schools. The guidelines for School Visitations,Article 10,Policy 10750 was approved. The 1 976-1 977 Program of Studies was revised.

A new demerit system was accepted by the Committee. Ten release day programs were approved for the 1 976-1 977 school Year. A momentof silent prayer was observed during a School Committee meeting for Natalie Hinchliffe who passed away.Mrs.Hinchliffe was an excellent re- porter who faithfully covered School Committee meetings for the Patriot Ledger.She was also a remarkable woman who will be sorely missed in the community. There were three retirements from the school system during the year:Mrs. Mary Mullen served the Cohasset School System from 1958 until June, 1976.Mrs.Dorothy Hall,a teacher at the Osgood School started teaching in September,1957 until 1976.James Stover,a custodian at the Deer Hill School was with the school system since 1 968 . The Committee expresses its sincere appreciation to all agencies,officers and boards of he town who have assisted us during 1 976. Respectfully submitted, Doris Golden,Chairman Committee members: Mrs.Josephine Mahoney,Vice Chairman Mrs.Anne Baird,5'^cre?ar)' Mr.Richard Silvia Mr.Frank England M r.Thomas Wallace -148 SUPERINTENDENT'S ANNUAL REPORT-1976 It is with pleasure that I submit to you my Second Annual Report as Superintendent of Schools in Cohasset. The School Department is appreciative of the fact that the greater part of its funding comes from the local property taxpayer.We are making a concerted effort to be cost effec- tive and are seeking economical ways to produce educational excellence with a minimum increase in expenditures of tax dollars.Like the home owner,we are experiencing in- flationary increases in all phases of our school operation,ranging from food for our school lunches to tires for our buses and chemicals for our laboratories.We cannot buy the same item at last year's prices,and even though we purchase less,we must be careful not to economize to the point where we jeopardize the maintenance of on-going and suc- cessful educational programs.I am sure that the maintenance of this delicate financial- educational balance will continue to challenge the superintendent's creative budgetary expertise in the years to come. In my message to you last year,I reported we planned to spend a considerable amount of time working in the area of program and curriculum improvement.This we have done. The reinstitution of mid-year and final examinations at the Junior/Senior High School, together with an increase in the length of the school day ranging from 10 minutes at Deer Hill to 38 minutes at the Junior/Senior High School will prove to be of educational merit. As a result of our own assessment,we have begun working to provide K-12 consistency in the areas of subject matter,philosophy,and reporting.A systematic design for cur- riculum format was introduced throughout the school system,and efforts to revise the curriculum in accordance with the design are continuing.Our effort to re-organize and coordinate has included a revision of the school system's philosophy,report cards,and teacher evaluations;first attempts to develop new operational policy statements have begun.Additionally,we have undertaken responsibility for planning in-service training programs and workshops for teachers and for conducting research studies and evalua- tions,including reviews of our handwriting efforts,attendance requirements,stand- ardized test results,and release day programs. Academically,we have begun to identify more clearly the specific objectives for each of our courses of study.A system-wide effort is being made to emphasize reading and writing skills,as well as to improve spelling.We have also established a reading laboratory in the Junior H igh School,primarily for poor readers in grade 7. Our efforts have not stopped with these improvements,and special attention was directed at improving social studies in grades 5 and 6.Furthermore,we added earth science in grade 7 and increased offerings in accounting,business arithmetic,typing,and general business in grades 9-12.We even improved our physical education-athletic pro- gram through the acquisition of a fifteen station weight training machine and 42'x 42'free exercise floor mat. For the future,we plan to continue our work to develop a consistent K-12 curriculum design,and attention will be focused on ways to improve our instructional techniques by studying the differences in learning styles that our students exhibit.In this way we will be able to create a much stronger instructional program for our children. In an attempt to keep the community informed of happenings within our school 149 system,we have implemented a series of coffee hours to discuss curriculum;back-to- school nights,which focus on classroom organization;parent conferences discussing student achievement;and newsletter and menu messages to keep parents apprised of cur- rent events;and,lastly,an open-door policy to facilitate more direct communication.The response to these programs has been positive,and,consequently,we shall have as one of our goals the continuation of these positive communication efforts. The astronomical rise of college costs in the past decade is of alarming concern to me. Today,the cost of room,board,and tuition is in the $6500-$7500 range per year.This rapid rise in costs is expected to continue at an approximate 10%increase for the next several years.Thus,the$10,000 per year room,board,and tuition cost will result in an ex- penditure of $40,000 for a college education in the immediate future.We are now wit- nessing academically and intellectually talented students from Cohasset restructuring their college choices and,in some cases,discontinuing their educational programs because family financial resources and other funds are insufficient to sustain their enroll- ment. The School Department would like to be able to offer financial scholarship assistance to any deserving resident youngster.As Superintendent of Schools,I am making a plea fortheestablishmentof a substantial community scholarship fund,which will be 30 or 40 times larger than the combined amounts given by all of our town organizations.I would hope that the community scholarship fund could either incorporate or be in addition to already established scholarships.I envision a fund to which donations could be made anonymously,in memory of a deceased loved one,or through a last will and testament. The organizational and operational arrangements can easily be designed by local banking and legal interests.If there is any community response to this concept,I will volunteer to be the first to serve on any committee to bring this idea to fruition. I am conscious of my good fortune in being associated with education in Cohasset. What has impressed me most is the open support of townspeople for a quality program of instruction.The cooperation of the parents reflects an attitude which sets a climate where- in the staff can function productively,and for this I am thankful. I wish to express my personal appreciation to the school committee,community,staff, communication councils,and municipal employees for your continued and encouraging support.You have made this past year a most enjoyable one for me.Lastly,as a parent, taxpayer,and school official,I feel that we can point with pride to the Cohasset School System.There is still much to be done to make our school system what you,the community,want for your children.With your continued help and support,our aims and goals can be realized. Respectfully submitted, JohnF.Maloney,Ed.D.

Various additional expenditures under self-explanatory titles were made as per details set forth in the expenditure schedule. Under date of August 7,1975 a new collective bargaining agreement was effected with our teachers which provided a basic increase in salaries of 8%for the year 1975-1976 plus an additional 6%basic increase for the year 1 976-1 977. Administrative and all other non-teaching personnel salaries were increased July 1, 1975 an average of 1 1%.Total of all salaries paid equals approximately 73%of operating costs. During the year under the provisions of Chapter 492,Acts of 1974,and Chapter 436, Acts of 1975,Regional School aide in the amount of an additional 15%of Chapter 70 school aid to local cities and towns was cancelled and a new formula was implemented which provided that Regional School aid be paid by the state direct to regional school districts.Local operating cost assessments to our member towns for the year 1975-1976 were reduced by a total amount of $160,837.00 and in place thereof the School District received an amount of $1 54,08 1 .84 which resulted in a deficit of $6,755.16 as shown below in the Surplus Revenue reconciliation statement.The above mentioned legislation further requires that the entire amount of Regional School aid received by a School District shall be used to reduce local assessments of member towns for school district operating costs. Surplus Revenue was determined to be $593,596.86 as of June 30,1976 and was derived from the following sources: 155 Balance July 1,1975 Additions: Excess of District Receipts over estimates used Investment Income Shop Sales State Grants Operating Cost Reimbursement Special Needs Reimbursement Transportation Reimbursement Miscellaneous Income Unexpended Appropriations 1975-76 Operating Costs Tailings-Unclaimed Amounts $537,528.72 39,289.18 29,598.82 84,978.00 6,521.25 20,204.10 9,918.34 74,404.57 9.04 264,923.30 $802,452.02 Deductions: 1975 Surplus Revenue used to reduce 1975-76 Operating Costs Transfer to School Lunch Revolving Fund Regional School Aid Deficit Reduction to Local Towns State Reimbursement Balance June 30,1976 160,837.00 154,081.84 200,000.00 2,100.00 6,755.16 208,855.16 $593,596.86 A $225,000.00 portion of the 1975-1976 Surplus Revenue has been voted by the District Committee to be used to reduce the July 1,1976 to June 30,1977 fiscal year operating cost assessment to member towns,resulting in a remaining balance of $368,596.86.

Contracts No.1 and No.2,the treatment plant at Lilly Pond and the control structure on Bound Brook at Beechwood Street began on July 19,1976.Contract No.3,the Dam & Reservoir,located at upper Beechwood Street,mainly in Wampatuck State Park,began on December 2nd,1976.As of this report the control structure has been completed and work on the other contracts is moving ahead on schedule with target completion date early 1978. Your Commissioners look forward to this date with interest and enthusiasm.Our com- munity will,at last,have an adequate supply of good quality water for all uses.We realize this is not the end of all problems.We must now embark on a long range program of up- dating and expanding the distribution system. The past Summer proved to be one of the driest on record,causing a total watering ban to be imposed early in the season.In spite of the curtailment we were forced to buy water from our neighboring town of Scituate,to meet our demands.It is anticipated that a res- triction in water usage will be imposed during the Summer and possibly Fall of 1 977. Progress continues nevertheless.13 new accounts were activated,five hundred feet of 6" main and one hydrant were added to the system by a private contractor.10 million additional gallons over the last year were distributed. The Board would like to express its regrets on the resignation of the former Chairman, Alan S.Murphy,Jr.,who for nearly nine years worked untirelessly for the community and especially in guiding the new facility project to its ultimate construction.His efforts will be missed.We extend to him our best wishes for success in his new position as a mem- ber of the State Water Resources Commission.John W.Hobbs has been appointed to fill the vacancy.We feel his services will be an asset to the Board. The Board would also like to thank all Town Officials,Department Heads,Com- mittees and Boards for their cooperation and support,and to our Superintendent and De- partment Personnel for their continued loyal support.
