Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE M.GRASSIE,CHAIRMAN SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES ANNUAL REPORT I hereby submit my report as Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31,1970. A total of one hundred and thirty two (132)weighing and/or measuring devices have been tested and sealed.Operation of one (1)liquid measuring device temporarily not in use,was not sealed.One (1)liquid measuring device was condemned. The amount of one hundred and ninety two dollars and seventy five cents ($192.75)for sealing fees was collected and paid to the Town Treasurer, Cohasset,Massachusetts. Respectfully submitted, Benjamin F.Curley,Jr. Sealer of Weights and Measures 93 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO SURVEY THE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONING OF THE VARIOUS TOWN OFFICES,BOARDS,AND DEPARTMENTS During the past year this committee has addressed itself to several issues on which we feel the Town could realize either improved service,administrative or fiscal benefits.While most of these issues are still under active study and hence inappropriate for report at this time,one item has been adequately evaluated to call for consideration at Town Meeting.This issue is that of centralizing town purchases of goods and services required to operate the town. By this we mean such items as paper and stationery products,fuel,heating oil, maintenance and repair,and other goods and services common to all town departments.The possibility of regionalizing such activities with surrounding towns should be evaluated and explored.To properly evaluate the benefits and/or debits accruing from any action of this character will require in our mind a detailed study of the impact on present methods,expHcit determination of the nature of such a centralized service,and a reasonable extrapolation of its future character.To implement this study we recommend the establishment of a special committee composed of 5 citizens of the town having an appropriate balance of talents and time to insure that the subject will receive the level of detailed study we believe it deserves.This committee should report at the earliest possible time with specific recommendations and appropriate Warrant articles if indicated. The above recommendation will be presented for action at the March 1971 Town Meeting.We believe acceptance of this resolution is in the Town's best interest. Your committee regards our charter and deliberation as an important and desirable town function.We,therefore,ask that this report be accepted as a Report of Progress and that the committee be continued. (Mrs.)Francis E.Charles Richard D.Leggat Stewart D.Sargent Edwin A.Young Philip N.Bowditch —Chairman REPORT OF THE SCHOOL FACILITIES COMMITTEE FOR 1970 The main thrust of the committee's work this year has been directed towards consideration of the lack of space existing at the elementary school level and alternative solutions to this problem. 94 This year all six sections of the kindergarden (three morning and three afternoon)are being housed in Trueblood Hall and the Carriage House at the First Parish Church,but this is not a permanent solution.In addition,space for music,art,guidance,and expanded learning diabilities program is inadequate. A space utilization study has shown that all the rooms at both Deer Hill and Joseph Osgood are being used essentially 100 percent of the school day.A study of projected school population for the next five years indicates the probability of Httle change in total enrollment. The committee has cooperated with the School Committee in sponsoring and directing the study of the Extended School Year as one possible solution to the space problems.Also under consideration are:(1)additions or modifications to present facilities,(2)relocatable or pre-engineered classrooms,and (3)a new building.The School Facilities Committee is aware that the School Committee and school administration are alert to all possible methods and techniques that promise more effective utilization of the available space. When the committee has finished its investigations of these various possible solutions,the results of the studies will be presented to the town so that,by some form of public expression,the town may take part in the ultimate decision. Several other items are worthy of note.At the 1970 March Town Meeting the committee sponsored an article in the warrant for the construction of a path across the recently acquired land between Deer Hill School and Old Pasture Road.This was to permit more students to walk to school and save on busing expenses.This article received affirmative action and the path was completed for the opening of school in September. The new playing field north of the High School was completed with the erection of backstops and the laying out of a baseball diamond and a softball diamond. All accounts for the addition to the High School have been closed and forwarded to the State Department of Education for their certification. Respectfully submitted, David C.Whipple,Chairman Lot E.Bates,Jr. Barbara W.Bliss (Mrs.Charles) Sheila S.Evans (Mrs.Donald) John F.Keane Barbara M.Power (Mrs.Jeffrey) Sumner Smith,Jr. 95 REPORT ON THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION 1970 In 1970 a major accomplishment of the Conservation Commission was to engage the services of Henry R.Hidell Associates to prepare "A Comprehensive Plan for Conservation,Open Space and Recreation in Cohasset."This plan is probably the most important document to be prepared for use by groups in town;both public and private since the Benjamin Report in 1961.Since the plan was published in September,we and the Water Commissioner's are planning to sponsor an article at the next regular Town Meeting to create a new Flood Plain and Water Protection Zone around Cohasset's water shed area. We strongly recommend that interested citizens study the Hidell Report, copies of which are in the Library and at the Selectmen's Office. We are continuing in an effort to make sure that our Town will regain the position which existed when the late Howard Bates was Tree Warden of providing professionalism to this most important job.The new position of Superintendent of Trees and Parks,which will become effective in May 1971, provides the means for this to occur.Early in 1971,we will forward to the Selectmen our recommendation from over 30 applicants for this position. Because of our concern at the loss of sand from wind action at Sandy Beach,we have consulted with the Army Engineers to determine a solution to the problem.Their recommendation to erect a snow fence in the winter along the beach has been passed along to the Sandy Beach Association. A news letter containing information on the dangers of pecticides in addition to other conservation topics was prepared by the Commission and distributed to citizens through the school children,the public library and various stores. Resignations were regretfully received from John Barrett and Mary Jane McArthur.Penelope Place and John Chase were appointed to fill the vacancies. Penelope Place John Chase George W.Benedict Herbert Marsh Edward Woods John Bryant John Hubbard,Chairman REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT I herewith submit the Armual Report of the Fire Department for the year 96 ending December 31,1 970. As 1970 started a new decade ...it also was the start of a new era for the fire service. "Regulations for the Control of Air Pollution in Metropolitan Boston Air Pollution Control District"which were adopted by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health under provisions of Section 142 D,Chapter 1 1 1 of the General Laws are the basis for formation of this new era.Effects of these regulations were no doubt felt by all the townspeople in one form or another. They either prohibit or limit all outside burning ...the burning of leaves,grass and brush is prohibited,burning at the Town Dump is prohibited. These regulations and restrictions are going to increase the workload of the fire department ...to what extent remains to be seen.Response and hours spent at the dump have quadrupled in just six months under these regulations. Another segment of the new era for the fire service is the adoption of the building code and formation of a building department.The effects of this is not going to be as immediate as the air pollution regulations ...but in years to come the benefits of safer and better construction will be apparent. In the year 1970 the Fire Department responded to a total of 325 alarms. The apparatus and equipment of the department is in good condition,with the repairs completed to Engine 2 a 1954 Pirsch pumping engine.The age of the apparatus ranges in age from 9 years to 23 years.Replacement of overage apparatus and equipment should continue on a systematic basis.The present stabilization fund was started for this purpose in 1959 ...two years prior to the purchase of our newest pumping engine. Training of fire personnel is a continuing process involving both permanent and call firefighters.New materials,techniques and equipment are tried as funds permit. I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all who have assisted this department in the past year. Respectfully submitted, Charles Piepenbrink Chief of Fire Department 97 MOSQUITO CONTROL,TOWN OF COHASSET To the Citizens within the Project's Control: Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities for the year December 1,1969 to November 30,1970. The Project is a year round cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree,Cohasset,Duxbury,Hingham,Hull,Marshfield, Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth,covering a total area of 172.21 square miles, serving a population in excess of 225,000. The Project is authorized and acts under the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws,Chapter 252,Section 59,Mosquito Control Provisions,and Chapter 112,Acts of 1931 ,pertaining to maintenance of ditches put on the salt marshes. The Project continued to base its program on three recommended approaches to a community mosquito control,giving priority in this order: A.Mosquito Source Reduction by use of two track crawler backhoes and scavels properly placed and maintained ditches on the coastal salt marshes,the cleaning of blocked brooks and streams wherever necessary,the clearing of brush and growth along swamps and stream edges,the filling in of small wet areas and grading of all fill removed from excavated ditches. B.Mosquito larval and pupal reduction,by use of helicopter and fixed wing aircraft,power sprayer mounted on trucks and Jeeps,pack power and pump sprayers,spray all noted breeding sites. C.Mosquito adult reduction,by use of power mist blowers,thermal foggers,treat areas of mosquitoes resting and emerging Accomplished in report period: 39,955 cu.feet of new ditch 435,600 cu.feet of reclaimed ditch 2,400 cu.feet ditches,streams,creeks,cleaned 40,205 sq.feet brushing 13,967 gallons of insecticide at approximate rate of one gallon to the acre for larval control -" 2,340 gallons of insecticide treated 25,614 storm catch-basins. 1,061 man hours were spent checking for mosquito breeding 3,805 gallons of insecticides applied for adult control Eastern Equine Encephalitis,a serious virus diesase affecting both man and horse,transmitted by the mosquito from birds,reached an epidemic rate in 98 horses this past summer.There were 53 horse cases and 1 human case in Massachusetts,7 of these horse cases were recorded in this Project's area.A step-up spray operation was made to all horse areas of the project. The insecticides used by the Project,the formulation and the dosage rates are in accord with the recommendation of the University of Massachusetts Extension Service "1970 Review of Insecticides for Mosquito Control,"and approved by Massachusetts D.P.H.Pesticide Board.D.D.T.and other related materials are not used. The Project wishes to acknowledge all assistance it received from the officials and departments of the communities it serves and give notice that it shall always remain ready with its personnel and equipment to continue to serve these wherever and whenever it is called upon. REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE This year we expanded our offerings to eleven trades by the addition of a course in Automotive Light Repair.This will provide instruction for students who will be placed in smaller garages and service stations. The additional course in Combination Welding we estabHshed two years ago has received a Federal Aid committment of $11,468 for equipment and salaries.From this course were sent out our first cooperative plan students.They will alternate,one week in industry,with one week in school. Our outside carpentry project this year is a large building to house the South Shore Natural Science Center in Norwell.This is a fine example of youth serving youth since our young men will erect a project dedicated to the education of South Shore youth in the natural sciences.Our electrical department will provide the wiring and electric heating for this project.The mill carpentry department will eventually furnish the display cases,built-in case work,etc. In our drafting department,we are providing instruction for several students with physical handicaps.This is in addition to our regular drafting program. We have continued to upgrade shop equipment with the addition of a drum Sander and straight line rip saw in the mill carpentry department.A larger spot welder and several wire feeders were added to the metal department.In the machine shop,a larger surface grinder and two metal-working lathes were replacements for obsolete government surplus property. 99 There were 55 graduates in the class of 1970.The high quality of graduates is reflected by the fact that all of the students desiring to be placed were placed at a time when the employment rate in the area had risen sharply. The median hourly rate for the class of 1970 was $2.52 per hour.Most of the young men have received increases since being placed because they have been able to prove their worth. Of these graduates,three have entered the armed forces and four have continued their education on a full time level.Colleges selected were Northeastern University,Massachusetts Maritime Academy and Wentworth Institute. There were two graduates from Cohasset The October 1,1970 enrollment was 324.With the opening of the new Auto Light Repair program,enrollment increased to 340.Regretfully,only nine Cohasset boys are enrolled. As of this year,facilities are being provided by the South Shore Regional School District for Vocational Teacher Training classes conducted by the Massachusetts Department of Education on Monday through Thursdays.This is a service to provide a source of trained vocational instructors.There are approximately 50 people involved. Respectfully submitted, John A.Geary Cohasset Representative REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT -1970 Insect damage and Dutch Elm disease were very heavy all over the Town this past year. Oak Leaf Skeletonizer was very damaging,but use of the Mist Blower controlled them. Elm trees were sprayed with Methoxchor and Sevin to control the Elm Leaf beetles. Oak Leaf Skeletonizer hit the Town again in September and at that time the Mist Blower had broken down. POISON IVY CONTROL We have continued to spray all Poison Ivy Plants and Ragweed visible from 100 the street,or reported to us,with a mixture of 24D. DUTCH ELM DISEASE Methoxchor,a comparatively safe insecticide to humans and wildhfe,was used as a dormant spray to all Elm trees that could be reached by truck. There were 52 Elm trees neglected from 1969 that were badly infested. These trees had to be removed with the help of the Brockton Edison Company and the New England Telephone Company.These companies removed most of the infested trees. In 1970 there were 40 Elm trees and 20 Maple trees removed.These were in addition to the 52 Elm trees. Respectfully submitted, Lawrence Figueiredo Moth Superintendent REPORT OF BUILDING INSPECTOR &ZONING OFFICER The Building Department is pleased to submit the following Report of activities for the Period of Aug.1 thru Dec.31,1970: This new department and my position was estabHshed as a result of the vote of the Town Meeting of March 7,1970 adopting Article 47 —Building Code of the Town of Cohasset. I was appointed Building Inspector and Zoning Officer on August 1,1970. As this was a new department it was necessary that specific procedures be established for the issuance of Building Permits and subsequent building inspections. Our procedures are as follows: A.Application for Permits:application forms.Building Codes and instructions are available at the Office of the Board of Selectmen. B.Acknowledgement of Application:after proper and complete apphcation is received,we acknowledge same by letter indicating that action will 101 be taken within 15 days and at the same time we notify the following other Town Departments of this application so that they may offer any comments or objections prior to the issuance of any Building Permit:Board of Health, Planning Board,Water Dept.,Wire Dept.,Conservation Commission,and Fire Dept. C.Issuance of Building Permit:if there are no objections and all other requirements are met,a Building Permit is issued along with a detailed instruction sheet which describes inspections required by the Health,Electrical, Plumbing,Gas,Fire,and Building Departments.All Permits are required to be Posted at the job site.When a Permit is issued all of the aforementioned Town Departments are notified in writing. D.Inspection of Work:during the course of construction the Building Dept.will make whatever inspections are appropriate,but in general will make 3 inspections;one of foundation prior to backfilling,one of framing prior to lathing,and one at completion of all work and prior to occupancy.All other Town Departments will make their inspections at proper times and record same on the Permit posted on the job. From the period of August 1,thru December 31,1970 this Department issued 24 Building Permits for various structures and alterations and collected $500.50 in fees which were paid to the Town Treasurer.Field inspections were made as required. I would like to express my thanks to the personnel of all Town Departments for the considerable assistance and cooperation given me during the past 5 months. Respectfully submitted, Maurice H.O'Donnell Building Inspector Zoning Officer REPORT OF VETERANS'MEMORIAL COMMITTEE The Veterans Memorial Committee was appointed in January 1 970 by the moderator as directed by a resolution passed by the December 1969 Special town meeting.The purpose of the committee to study and propose to the town a fitting and lasting memorial to the Veterans of Cohasset. The Committee met regularly during January and February studying proposals from various sectors,as well as surveying memorials in other areas. After much careful consideration it was the unanimous conclusion of the 102 committee that a proposal calling for a memorial constructed of field stone with bronze tablets to be constructed at Memorial Park would be presented to the town. The proposal also called for the transfer of available funds ($1,330.)in the custody of the Treasurer,Memorial Park fund to offset the amount to be raised by taxation. The March Town meeting approved the proposal and raised $5,170 through taxation to meet the expected $6,500 construction cost. The Committee worked in the following weeks to finalize design,prepare specifications,advertise for bids and sign contracts to assure completion of the project for a Memorial Day Dedication. On May 25,1970 the Committee dedicated to the Veterans of Cohasset a permanent memorial.The monument is located at Memorial Park at the harbor and is constructed of field stone with Bronze Plaques Memoralizing those Cohasset men who died in WW I,WW II,Korea,and Vietnam.The memorial is lighted at night and two American Flags fly 24 hours a day over the Memorial. The Committee is arranging for the Garden Clubs to maintain Annual Planting so as to assure no continuing cost to the town for plantings. The Committee in addition to the Memorial Construction,painted the Main Flag Pole at the park,had four park benches installed,an electric receptacle was also installed near the Memorial.Bumper posts were installed in September behind the Memorial to prevent automobiles from hitting the wall. Total cost of the project was less than the amount appropriated,remaining funds were turned back to the Treasury. The Committee received from Mr.and Mrs.C.David Strout of Arizona, the family of Cohasset's only Korean fatality,the flag used at their son's services in 1951.It was their desire that the flag be used in conjunction with the Memorial in some way.The flag has been turned over to the Selectmens'office. It is with deep appreciation that we thank the many town officials who were so co-operative in our endeavor.A special thanks is extended to the personnel of all the town departments for their help and to the department heads for their co-operation.The assistance and co-operation of the untold numbers of townspeople was also greatly appreciated. I would like to personally thank those committee members who work so long and hard on the project. 103 It is recommended that this Committee be continued indefinitely. Respectfully submitted, Glenn A.Pratt, Chairman REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Cohasset: During the past year a total of two hundred forty nine (249)clam permits were issued,clear indication that many of our residents desire to occasionally dig clams for family consumption. As our population grows we can expect that requests for clam permits will also increase thus putting greater demand on our limited clam resources which as of now are rapidly being depleted. Of particular concern is the fact that I have been unable to obtain any seed clams from the State Department of Natural Resources for the propogation of our clam beds. In view of these circumstances I feel the Town should take steps to conserve our limited clam resources.BeHeving that the present limited supply should be conserved for the individual citizen who desires to dig clams for his own household use,I recommend that the Board of Selectmen discontinue issuing commercial permits for an indefinite period.Meantime I shall continue my efforts to obtain our rightful share of any seed clams available from the Division of Marine Fisheries. Respectfully submitted, Ellery C.S.Sidney Shellfish Constable 1970 REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD In addition to the regularly scheduled meetings the Board voted to conduct a third meeting to be held on the 4th Wednesday evening of each month to- 1:Update Cohasset Rules and Regulations for subdivision of a lot or lots. 104 2:Discussions and plan of action concerning the growing problem of covenant control of previously approved subdivisions. 3:Town Planning.Details of a new procedure for the submission of a plan of any type are being developed. This meeting while open to the public is considered an Administrative session. The cooperation of Town Officials,Department Heads,the Building Inspector,and Board of Health Agent has been greatly appreciated. G.Scott Steeves,Chairman Henry R.Hidell,III,Secretary Nathan Bates Lawrence Ainslie Julian Rifkin REPORT OF THE COHASSET HOUSING AUTHORITY In 1970 action by the Cohasset Housing Authority consisted of a continuation of our efforts of the preceeding year.Meetings were held regularly on a monthly and semi-monthly basis in the resolution of our formal appHcation for funding.Unfortunately,a rather complete reorganization of the govermental agencies involved with housing has occasioned substantial delays in our programming and progress. It is hoped that the processing of the "paper work"will be completed in the near future and that our efforts will be evidenced in a more positive manner to those desirous of this housing. Respectfully submitted, W.Chester Browne,Chairman Mary Jeanette Murray,Vice Chairman Margaret A.Lynch,Secretary Samuel Hassan,Treasurer James R.DeGiacomo,Asst.Treasurer 105 BOARD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS REPORT OF 1970 The new waste water treatment plant is now being manned by a full time experienced operator.In addition to the High School complex,Fire &Police Station and the Bates Building,several dwelling units are now connected to the sewer line.All abutters of the Phase 1 line have been officially notified to connect to the system in accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the last Town Meeting. The system now has become a community service and will soon realize a revenue to the Town,through assessments and usage charges. The Board has approved several local contractors as qualified drainlayers. These contractors are so licensed and may perform all work necessary to connect buildings to the pubHc sewerage system. Our Engineering firm of Fay,Spofford &Thorndike have completed all necessary updating of plans and specifications for extensions authorized by vote of the Town.The long process of layout and title search for easements is now being carried out.Applications for Federal Grants have been filed with the Department of Housing &Urban Development.Hopefully,construction should begin by mid 1971. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the various Town officials,Boards and Committees for their cooperation and assistance and Water Department personnel who have operated the plant most of the year on their off duty time,also our Superintendent and new plant operator for their interest and untiring efforts.All of these people have helped to make our job a Httle easier. BOARD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS Rocco F.Laugelle,Chairman Henry W.Ainslie,Jr.,Secretary Alan S.Murphy,Jr. BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS REPORT OF 1970 Your Board of Water Commissioners have this year proceeded with plans to augment our water supply.After interviewing several engineering firms,it was unanimously decided to have Sanitary Engineering Associates,Inc.continue as Consulting &Construction Engineers for the Dam,Reservoir and Treatment I I 106 Plant Project.At this writing,plans and specifications are being drawn.Land survey of the reservoir site is completed and application for Federal Grant has been filed with the Department of Housing &Urban Development. Regular preventive maintenance projects have been carried out by department personnel,but system expansion and capital improvements have been curtailed this year in lieu of the above project. Again this year,a record volume of over 240 million gallons of water was treated and distributed despite a total ban on outside use during July and August.This represents an increase of 15 million gallons over 1969,yet is somewhat less than the increase of the previous year.These yearly increases continue to strain our faciUties far beyond their designed capacities. Thirty six new accounts were activated this year,of which eleven were installed by the department and the remainder by private developers,bringing the total active accounts to approximately 1900,excluding all Town owned buildings and properties.Two hydrants dating back to the eighteen hundreds were replaced with modern type hydrants,one of which was relocated.Six old services were renewed and twenty leaks repaired.Approximately 1250 feet of 8" main and two hydrants were installed by private developers and connected to the system. With continuing growth of the Town and greater demands for a good quality water supply,your Commissioners are greatly concerned with the protection of the supply.We are combining our efforts with those of the Conservation Commission,Planning Board and the Board of Health to meet this problem.An amendment to the Zoning By-Law to create a water shed protection zone is the only practical approach.We strongly recommend the adoption of such an amendment in the interest of a continued safe water supply. The Board would like to express its thanks to all Town officials, Department Heads and Committees for their cooperation throughout the year, and to the Superintendent and Department personnel for their continued loyal and untiring efforts. BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS Alan S.Murphy,Jr.,Chairman Henry W.Ainslie,Jr.,Secretary Rocco F.Laugelle 107 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN The Bicentennial year of the Town saw the enactment of a Building Code and the appointment of a Building Inspector who is also the Zoning Officer. Maurice H."Bud"O'Donnell,who has assumed this office is administering these by-laws most effectively. During the year,our long time and devoted Administrative Secretary, Estelle Fandel had to resign from her position for personal reasons.We will miss her efficient services very greatly although the office is being capably handled by Mrs.Eileen Jacome. We have met many times during the year with the Conservation Commission,the Recreation Commission,the Personnel Committee,the "Baby Hoover"Committee and the Advisory Board with respect to carrying out the provisions of Article 29 of the 1970 Annual Town Meeting relative to the appointment of a Superintendent of Trees and Parks and estabHshing the responsibilities of that office.In trying to economize and increase communication among Town Departments the Selectmen held several meetings during the year with these department heads. The celebration of the Bicentennial year and the many events of the year were managed excellently by the Bicentennial Committee to whom go the thanks of the entire town. We also take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all Town employees,to committee,commission and board members and to all who have evidenced their interest in our town during the year. Respectfully submitted, George W.McLaughHn,Chairman Arthur L.Clark Mary Jeanette Murray REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Committee met regularly at the Town Hall on the second Tuesday of each month.Additional meetings were held at frequent intervals during the months of November and December,and just prior to the closing of the Warrant for Town Meeting.The Committee is available for consultation with employees and other citizens of the Town upon request as well as at our regular meetings which are all open to our citizens. The Personnel Committee was again appointed by the Selectmen to be the 108 Bargaining Agents of the Town.The Committee is authorized to bargain with any and all employees who are organized to bargain for wages and working conditions under the rules and regulations of the Commonwealth.Most of the Committee's time and effort during this year was spent in negotiating with the Police Association members and their legal representatives in order to estabhsh a written contract between the Town of Cohasset and the PoHce Association.As of January 9,1971,when this report was written,these negotiations were still in progress. The Consumers Price Index for the Metropolitan Boston Area was used to show the effect of inflation on the purchasing power of wages for the past twelve months,and the Municipal Salary Survey of 190 Massachusetts Cities and Towns was used to compare wages and fringe items with these Cities and Towns. The Committee also made special personal inquiries in neighboring towns concerning conditions of employment.This information was used to assist the Committee to determine its recommendations for the Warrant of 1 97 1 . Cohasset continued to rank high in comparison with other Towns of the State on all phases of employee compensation. We wish to thank all who have assisted the Committee in our work for this year of 1970.

Respectfully submitted, Randolph A.Feola Chief of Police Cohasset,Massachusetts REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Surveyor for the year ending December 31,1970. This year the Highway Department installed 31 standard catch basins and laid 2851'of 10",12",15",18"and 24"pipes.One and one-half miles of mix-in-place was laid on various streets and private ways throughout the Town. 7,851'of Type I Bituminous concrete was put down on four streets.8,000 gallons of liquid asphalt was used in sealing the following streets:Gushing Road, Hill,Norfolk,Ash,and Pleasant Street. The sand was picked up with the street sweeper and used later on to mix with salt for winter use. 4,000'of sidewalks were resurfaced.$2500.00 was spent on pipe,labor, machinery to clean some of the brooks and streams.These projects will 112 continue.The Department also worked for the School,Board of Health,and the Government Island Committee. In a period of 15 years the Department has installed 395 standard catch basins,laid 40,211'of drain pipe and resurfaced 37 miles of roads and private ways. The streets were swept,street lines painted,catch basins,cleaned and drains repaired.During the winter months the men of the Department worked on street drainage and repaired equipment. One of the automatic sanders was rebuilt,thus adding two additional years to its use fullness. Chapter 90 Construction &Maintenance Funds were applied for.The Construction Funds to be applied to Elm Street,and the Maintenance funds for Cunningham Bridge;to sand blast and repaint the steel girders. The Highway Depa-tment has kept in mind the ever-increasing cost of materials and other inflationary items,as far back as 1968,as the Town Report will show.This year the Department has picked up one item for $1,000,and has combined two others.In doing so there is a $225.00 cut in the Highway Budget. The Department has six men who perform these duties throughout the year. I thank the men of the Department,Town officials,and citizens who have helped me during the year. Respectfully submitted, Louis C.Bailey,Jr., Highway Surveyor 113 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS SECTION II A little over a century ago,Abraham Lincoln said "the dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present."That observation is as appropriate today as when it was stated,for the times in which we find ourselves do indeed demand thinking which anticipates the future,rather than that which relies on the past. If our schools are to be a relevant force in the shaping of individuals who will be productive members of their social environment,then we must develop flexible programs which anticipate the future.Recognizing that we do not know the world in which our children will live,today's educational program must neces- sarily be an enabling process rather than simply an instructional one.It is towards that goal that efforts to change the form and substance of our program are di- rected. During the past year the staff of your school system has been busy appraising existing programs and implementing changes where desirable.Work currently underway or completed during the past year includes: -A major study to determine the feasibility of an extended school year as a means of improving the quality of education,using existing facilities more efficiently and creating a more viable employment situation for teachers; -Pilot programs in differentiated staffing and cooperative teaching,devel- oped to explore ways of better utilizing teachers'expertise; -Development of an ungraded reading program which emphasizes levels of achievement rather than arbitrary grade level assignments; -Expansion of the program for children with disabilities,such as perceptual handicaps that prevent them from achieving their full learning potential; -Introduction of a drug education program which emphasizes the preven- tion of drug abuse and which supplements the instruction already taking place through the science and social studies programs; -Expansion of the high school work-study program to provide opportuni- ties for a larger number of students to participate; -Revision of the high school English curriculum to provide seniors with a more varied program; -Employment of additional guidance personnel in the elementary schools to meet increased demands for service at that level; 114 In addition,two positions were created to coordinate and initiate activities and services on a system-wide basis.A Director of Special Services supervises activi- ties and personnel in the areas of guidance,health,speech therapy,special educa- tion and learning disabilities.A Curriculum Coordinator is now available to work on the development of curriculum and instructional resources and to assume re- sponsibility for federal programs. During the past year,the school department received valuable assistance from several sources,and it seems appropriate to conclude this brief report with a word of acknowledgement and appreciation.The space which the First Parish Church has provided to accommodate our kindergarten program has provided much-needed relief to the problems which have been experienced during recent years as a result of overcrowding in the elementary schools; Some 75 volunteer aides who have been working in our school performing a va- riety of tasks have been of great assistance to teachers at all grade levels.The cooperation received from the Highway Department in constructing the foot- path at the rear of Deer Hill School and resurfacing parking areas at two build- ings have saved the town a great deal of money.Similar cooperation received from the Wire Department has also resulted in savings.The contributions of individuals and organizations such as the P.T.0.,too diverse and numerous to mention specifically,have also had a positive impact on our schools.I know I speak for the principals,teachers and School Committee in expressing ap- preciation. Nelson J.Megna Superintendent of Schools 115 COHASSET COUNCIL ON AGING 1970 ANNUAL REPORT I am pleased to submit the Second Annual Report of the Council on Aging. The Board has been meeting the first Wednesday evening of every month to continue to assess the needs of our Senior Citizens and to upgrade and expand our services. We are working closely with the Town Departments and organizations so that existing services are expanded,not dupHcated. The Information and Referral Service is now located at the Community Center and is in operation five days a week,eight hours a day,Monday through Friday,8 A.M.to 5 P.M. The Drop-in Center at the First Parish has been used on Friday throughout the year for cards,knitting,needle work and conversation. We work closely in cooperation with the 60 Plus Club and their recreational program. Again this year,our group was invited to take advantage of the Flu Immunization Clinic that was held by the Public Health Department and the Social Service League. The Friends of the Library has seen to it that Large Print Magazines have been added to the Large Print Book Collection. The Recreation Committee has appointed a laison to attend our Board Meetings. Periodic Open Meetings were held including:a dietician who spoke on the nutritional needs of this age group;two lawyers,one who is a tax expert and spoke on the Income Tax return and the tax deductions available to our Senior Citizens and an expert on Wills and Trusts.A craft demonstration was held and our Senior Citizens had a wonderful exhibition of some of there own work.We had films,mostly travelogues and a luncheon.The luncheon turned out to be so successful,we were asked to repeat it. Many of our people are taking advantage of the events open to them through the School Department including concerts,lectures,films and sporting events. 116 At this time my Board joins me in extending our thanks for the courtesy and cooperation we have received from the Town Officials and the Town Boards.Our very special thanks is extended to Police Department for the use of their Conference Room for board meetings. Respectfully submitted, Arlene Cline,Chairman Frances Antoine Thomas Twitchell Kathleen Conte Edward Atkinson Elinor Kennedy Elizabeth Alemian Karl Kristiansen Albert Livingston REPORT OF GOVERNMENT LAND COMMITTEE 1970 As years go on the recreational use potential of Government Island becomes more apparent. Each year more residents,and non-residents,visit and enjoy this unique spot,to the point where the traffic and parking conditions are becoming very acute. The Blessing of the Fleet,sponsored by the Cohasset Bicentennial Committee,clearly brought out the tremendous asset of Government Island:- with a band playing on the Minot Light templates,a combination arts and trade show on the pier,the Harbor Master's office used as the radio control point accomodations of many hundreds of observers who thoroughly enjoyed the finest spectacle shown within recent memory in Cohasset Harbor. Through the good offices of the Selectmen and the Highway Surveyor a wood curb has been installed to protect the stone posts surrounding the Minot Light Memorial. We respectfully request that this report be accepted as one of progress and the Committee be continued. Respectfully submitted, Gerard J.Stanton,Chairman 117 Edward Figueirido Richard C.Tousley Frederic Wood,Jr. Mary Jane E.McArthur Prescott T.Cumner Clifford J.Dickson John H.Barrett ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE TOWN OF COHASSET Massachusetts For the Year Ending December 31,1970 SCHOOL COMMITTEE T.Gerard Keating Term Expires 1971 John P.Reardon Term Expires 1971 Sumner Smith,Jr.,Chairman Term Expires 1972 Ellen Smith,Clerk Term Expires 1972 David C.Whipple Term Expires 1973 Daniel C.Cotton Term Expires 1973 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Nelson J.Megna Helen Mitchell Bookkeeper Ruth Bacigalupo Secretary Agnes Brighton Secretary (part time) REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE First and Third Monday of Each Month -8 P.M.-High School REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1970 From 1960 through 1970 Cohasset Schools have changed considerably. 118 Our student population has grown from 1427 to 1910 and our professional staff from 75 to 120. To provide space the School FaciHties Committee established in 1960, made additions to Deer Hill School in 1962 and the High School in 1968.This year the First Parish Church has given the Town a license for the use of Trueblood Hall and the Carriage House for three kindergarten teaching stations for 138 pupils.The committee is grateful to the First Parish for sharing its facihties to help reduce overcrowding in the elementary schools. During this decade the minimum salary for a starting teacher with bachelors degree has risen from $4100 to 7200,and the highest paid teacher on the staff from $6300 to $13,788.These increases in pay rates were brought about by recognition of the value of teachers in comparison to other professions, to mandatory minimums set by the General Court,and bargaining by teachers associations in negotiations with school committees started in 1968. With the increase in number of students and teachers,higher pay rates, additional new space as well as older buildings to maintain and a cost-of-living increase of some 40%it is no wonder that school committees have been hard put to keep budgets tolerable.Thus the Cohasset budget for school operation has gone from $572,895 in 1960 to $1,843,565 in 1970.We are pleased that Superintendent Megna,by establishing closer controls and through prudent spending,was able to return approximately $50,000 at year end. During the early '60's the School Committee usually met without visitors. In later years visitors became usual and one or more newspaper reporters attended and reported on proceedings.In addition,frequency of meetings increased to cover the added work of teacher negotiations,reports from teacher curriculum study groups,and budget sessions.This past year meetings were held with the School Facilities Committee,the Cohasset Drug Committee,the Advisory Committee and some parent groups.There are regional meetings of many educationally oriented groups that committee members could attend on practically a weekly basis and a deluge of mail from similar organizations and the state's Department of Education further burden a committee member. Nevertheless,our main purpose is to provide quality education within our means. Looking over this period of the 60's educationally,the trend has been toward greater individualization.More guidance and other speciaUsts are available to help students overcome various learning problems.Increased use of audio-visual techniques and a computer have become aids to easier learning. Differentiated staffing on an experimental basis in Grade 2 this year appears to be a successful way to blend professionals and teacher aides for better education without increased cost.In Cohasset nearly 50%of the teachers have over 10 or more years experience,a plus for a good educational system and a prime reason 119 for a higher per pupil cost than surrounding towns. The report on the year round use of schools requested for October of 1970 proved to need additional research.Therefore the committee will not be able to offer alternatives to relieve overcrowding in the elementary schools until mid 1971. The committee wishes to congratulate Superintendent Megna on the fine work he has done during his first full year in Cohasset.His leadership has been an inspiration throughout the schools and town. As the year closes with a considerable decrease in the economy along with increased unemployment and rising town taxes,already high state and federal taxes,quality education is at the crossroads.It is indeed difficult to make reductions without hurting the quality of education which has progressed so painfully through the 60's.We look forward to your continued support.

SCHOOLS To the School Committee and Residents of Cohasset: It is a pleasure to submit my second annual report as your Superintendent 125 of Schools.For purposes of clarity,the report is divided into two sections. Section I contains enrollment information and other statistical data of a general nature;Section II summarizes significant developments in the educational program which have taken place during the past year and concludes with recommendations for future improvement of the school system. SECTION I -STATISTICAL DATA A comparison of enrollments on October 1 for the school years 1966-1967 through 1970-1971 (current)is provided by the following table: Table 1 —Comparative Enrollments,Five-Year Survey Grade Year Level K 1 2 3 4 5 6 Spec.CI. 7 8 9 10 11 12 TOTALS **Grade 3 -Joseph Osgood School -91 Grade 3 -Deer Hill School 47 ***Reported at performance grade level Table 2 provides a comparison of the enrollments in each of the three schools over a five year period: Table 2 -Enrollment Data Drouped by Schools -Five Year Survey Year Building School 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 Capacity J.O.--497 481 531*425 D.H.534 560 557 553 521 500 126 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 110 120 123 135 138 151 129 149 142 143 141 160 121 135 159 154 149 167 **127 **138 161 154 157 164 131 129 163 156 164 173 146 142 176 162 165 *********5 5 117 141 149 176 170 115 118 141 146 183 124 108 121 146 142 102 127 104 128 150 107 101 128 108 115 86 100 99 116 98 1643 1712 1791 1854 1910 High 651 695 742 820 858 TOTALS 1643 1712 1791 1854 1910 1000 *Kindergarten (138 students)is temporarily housed at the First Parish House. October 1 enrollment figures provide a means for comparing the school system's enrollment at a comparable time during any school year,but they do not provide an accurate description of the overall enrollment pattern.A more precise representation can be obtained by using a statistic called the Average Daily Membership (ADM).This is obtained for any given year by adding the aggregate number of days of attendance of all students to the aggregate number of days of absence of all students and dividing that sum by the total number of days that school was in session.The ADM for the two preceding school years are provided in Table 3.These figures include both resident and non-resident (METCO)students.

The Maple trees lining the roadside have been severely damaged by street drainage,utiHties,asphalt and salt.Many of these trees have been removed and more are marked to come down.The trees that were planted nearer the property lines have not been effected and are growing well. The Brockton Edison Company helped in cleaning dead wood and branches over the wires.They also topped trees that were later removed by the Department. On King Street,Pond Street,South Main Street and Bow Street the heavy 129 underbrush was cut back.This improved the appearance and made vision better for traffic. While in charge of this department,I have at times combined the equipment and work force of the Highway,Tree and Town Common Departments to carry on the general town work.This method seemed to accomplish more work at less expense to the taxpayer. I wish to thank the poeple of the Town for their co-operation and support. Respectfully submitted, Louis C.Bailey Tree Warden REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH Personnel ANTHONY W.VENTO,R.S.

Public Health Nurse,Nursing services by contract with the Social Service League CHARLES T.PATROLIA Plumbing Inspector EARL McARTHUR Plumbing Inspector This year has been a great deal different than other years as far as our health board has been concerned.With the advent of consciousness of ecology as a new concept to be introduced,we began to have problems with the town disposal area.First we were stopped from burning as of September 15 th,next we were forced into a sanitary landfill.This latter project is just starting and we have found out that it is going to be quite expensive.This means with the general increase in expense of operation we now have the cost of bulldozing the area daily and providing fill to cover the trash completely.We are projecting a tremendous increase in our operating budget for this coming year. 130 I would like to again express my appreciation for faithful service to the members of the board,our agent,the visiting nurses and our unpaid secretarial workers.

Since funds were not available for the mobile X-ray Unit,Mr.Vento was able through the Massachusetts Department of Public Health,to get Tines for the tuberculin skin testing of all food handlers employed in the tov/n.Testing was done by the nursing staff.A program of continued testing for new personnel will be available at the League office. It is a pleasure to work with a board and an agent who share with us a deep concern for recognizing and safeguarding the health needs of its people. Casework Report -Frances P.Wright,ACSW Four cases were carried over from 1 969 and two of these are still being carried as active cases for supportive treatment.Four new cases have been referred by the Board of Health nurses this year;a mother of young children with marital and financial problems,a handicapped women in need of economic planning and emotional support,another young family in need of budgetary help,and a cardiac patient in need of possible rehabilitation and psychological support.Two of these have been closed,the other two are still being carried. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD A.McCarthy,M.D.,Chairman RENE G.CHIASSON,Secretary WILLIAM J.MONTUORL Member REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT The following is the annual report of the wire department for the year 1970. Fire Alarm &Police Signal New fire alarm boxes were installed at location spots to give better coverage in these areas. Old overhead fire alarm wire was removed and replaced with new wire in various sections of the town.New cross arms and hardware were also replaced 134 where needed. All fire alarm boxes were tested and painted. New parts were replaced in traffic signal equipment because of wear and damage. Town-Owned Buildings All repairs of electrical equipment and wiring was done by this department.Electrical work done by electrical contractors was carefully inspected and permits were filed with the Town Accountant. I wish to thank the honorable board of Selectmen,all town officials,and the men who worked with me. Respectfully submitted, Edward P.Malley Superintendent of Wires REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER I hereby submit the annual report of the Harbor Department with an eye to the windward in years to come. There has been much time spent by the Harbor Study Committee looking into the long range planning of the harbor.It is pretty much accepted that what we have for our harbor at present is about all we can ever hope for because of its geographical location.Specifically the areas of ledge outcrop.Upon conferring with the Army Engineers it is agreed that the cost of blasting would be prohibited for the amount of dredged area to be gained.The most we can hope for is maintainance dredging so we can utilize what we have. It must be brought to the boatowners attention that the harbor regulations state a boat owner cannot increase the size of his boat without approval of the Harbor Master.Persons in violation of this regulation have caused many hardships to themselves and others in the past. At present,there are 432 registered moorings in the harbor,returning to the town around five thousand dollars in mooring fees.There is also a large number of applications on a waiting list,hoping for a birth in the harbor.In the past two years it has been possible to create thirty to forty new berths by relocating moorings,grouping boats of the same nature together.It is the intent this year to try to moor smaller boats bow and stern to create more berths.It is felt the harbor has pretty much reached the saturation point and it is going to 135 take the extreme cooporation on persons using the harbor to make it more beneficial for all concerned and not on an individual basis. It should not go without saying that this past year was a year of history. One of the highlights was the blessing of the fishing boats held in August.This was a first and aroused a lot of interest from boat owners and spectators.To the many persons who donated their time I wish to extend thanks to them for making this event such a rewarding success. Respectfully submitted, Harry H.Ritter Harbor Master REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN FOR THE YEAR 1970 My first report last year,after thirteen months on the job,outlined in some detail what the library's program and goals were.This report will be a brief sequel to that one,which continues to be an accurate statement of library activities.

Twenty-six percent of the books purchased this year were paperbacks. Most of these paperbacks were added copies of popular titles already owned in hardcovers.A large number of them are children's fiction.The extensive use of paperbacks is useful in meeting growing demands for information.It is a necessary development in the face of rising book prices —10%increase last year alone. Use of magazines is up 28%and use of adult non-fiction is up 1 7%over last year.Use of children's books is down 11%.There is greater use among students of adult materials. INTERDEPARTMENTAL COOPERATION Appreciation should be expressed to the Town Accountant's office for generously allowing regular use of the copy machine for library business;to the School Department for regular loan of a projector for library film programs;and again to the School Department for regular monthly meetings over the past year between school personnel and this department to explore ways to coordinate and improve media services to Cohasset pubHc school students. PROSPECTS The time has come for the citizens,and the officials of the Ubrary department and of the school department,to begin to develop new and clear definitions of the responsibilities of each department for library service to the entire community.For many years,public libraries have been learning resource centers for school children,usually without much coordination or assistance from school authorities.In recent years,the educational estabUshment has decided that every school should have its own library.The educational philosophy behind this argument is good.I support the development of good media centers for children and encourage the rapid implementation of an educational philosophy which will take the fullest advantage of the resources now available,whether in the school building or elsewhere.At the same time, the needs of older students overlap the growing needs of adults,and the needs of both groups exceed the available resources of existing libraries,whether school, pubhc or university.How are the library resources and services needed by all groups to be organized?The standards for school libraries and the ability of school systems to get the money and the personnel they need now surpass the resources and standards of most small public libraries.Yet the public library continues to be the most accessible,and to face the demands and expectations of students and their parents.It is time for the two institutions to develop a coordinated set of goals and plan of service;but that plan must depend ultimately on what the people of community —children,young people,and adults —think they need and want in the way of library service:what do you 137 want,where do you want it,when do you want it,and how do you want the service deHvered?If you do not plan the answers to these questions,they will happen to you by accident. Respectfully submitted, Richard E.Hayes Chief Librarian REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION The Recreation Commission has now completed its 14th year of operation. On every 3rd Wednesday of each month the five Commissioners,the Superintendent of Grounds and Maintenance,Eustis James,the Program Director,Paul Merna,and an invited teenage representative,Richard Sawyer, meet at 8:00 P.M.at the Community Center. It has been our recent policy to make each meeting as interesting and meaningful as possible.We invited guest speakers or discussed areas that were pertinent to the hindrance of a successful recreation program. In early October,Paul Merna reported on the summer recreation program. The program attracted a significant amount of children (ages 5-12)in the first few weeks but attendance dropped noticeably in the heat of August due to the natural attraction of our beaches and private pools. Trips to the Music Circus,Aquarium,Boston Harbor Tour,etc.,were highly successful. Many of the children that attend every day are those that are searching for activity,friends or an image to model themselves after. Other meetings involved communication between our Commission and Mrs.Cline,Chairman of the Committee for the Aged. Meetings with the Conservation Commission dealt with the responsibilities of the new Tree and Parks Department which will take over the duties of field maintenance formerly held by the Recreation Department. 138 Projects were severely limited by a meager and exhausted budget. Suggestions and complaints are appreciated,since this is one way to be alerted to the needs of our youth. Meetings with the Cormnittee on Drugs to make sure,that new programs wouldn't overlap. A floodlight installation was erected on the Joseph Osgood playground for the purpose of a night basketball program.This project will be completed by April,1971 for use this summer. An effort to maintain and clear the skating areas of Cohasset is desperately needed if money is allotted. If the child feels he is worth something by developing his self-image and his interest in his immediate surroundings he could ignore the lure of drugs. Let us give our youth the assistance they need.

Their recommendations will be reviewed by the Board of Assessors.These new valu- ations will reflect the conditions as of January 1,1971,and will be the basis for the 1971 tax bills. We are pleased to announce that the valuation list and the tax billing will be done by conputer.This will result,in a great saving to the town for two reasons.It will elimi- 186 nate the cost and the time involved in typing the biUs and the Hsts required by Massachu- setts law.The bills being ready and in the hands of the taxpayers earlier will result in a flow of money wWch should lessen the amount the Treasurer has to borrow in anticipation of taxes and save interest payments. The Assessors would like at this time to thank the townspeople for the fine coopera- tion given to Mr.Logue and his men.
