Respectfully submitted, Clarence M.Grassie,Chairman REPORT OF THE COHASSET DRUG EDUCATION COMMITTEE (C.D.E.C.) During the past year the Cohasset Drug Education Committee has been ac- tively working to find the correct approach to best deal with current drug problems in Cohasset. A Counselling Drop-in Center,The City,has been established at 109 Ripley Road.The Center was organized to offer Cohasset youth a place to talk out their problems and become involved in various youth activities.Two dances were organized during 1972.The first,raised funds to aid an accident victim here in Cohasset and the second,raised money for photographic equip- ment for the City.There was also a rock-band concert in July under the direc- tion of the staff at the City.This was offered free to the residents of Cohasset. During April and May,there were Personal Growth seminars conducted at the City.These seminars guided by the City's director gave the youth at the City the chance to learn more about themselves and their problems.In July members of the City joined together and painted the interior of the South Shore Mental Health Center in Quincy.The money raised on this project was used to purchase equipment for hobbies and crafts.A continuation of the summer program was the formation of a clam-seeding project.With the aid of Ellery Sidney,Shellfish Constable,clams were moved from various beaches in Cohasset and planted in Little Harbor.This was done to speed growth of Little Harbor's depleted clam beds. Prior to establishing the City in its present Ripley Road location,meetings were held with directors of the Community Center in the hopes of using their barn as a location for the drop-in center.Meetings were also held with the Community Center's Director to organize a cooperative effort in dealing with youth problems in the town.Police Chief Feola,also met with the Committee at various times during the year to exchange ideas and advice. 79 Another program conducted by C.D.E.C.was the initiation of a series of social seminars between youth and adults.These seminars are being held to help educate more town residents to current problems and situations which contribute to alienation between parents and children. We were fortunate to have with us during the year,Reverend Roy Cederholm.Mr.Cederholm is a teacher in the Cohasset High School and also assistant at St.Stephens Church.His advice and participation have been of great assistance to the committee.Also,representing the Advisory Board at our meetings were Joseph Buckley and Arnold Weeks.Their interest and time was greatly appreciated by C.D.E.C. The Committee has explored the results of its efforts over the past year.A re-evaluation meeting was held in September with representatives from all ages and areas of the town.It was determined that there was a lessening of the crisis nature in drug usage and the emergence of a more controlled situa- tion.It was also determined that the City has fulfilled a definite need. C.D.E.C.feels progress has been made and we plan to work closely with existing groups within the town to coordinate our efforts and expand this program.

Our program for 1973 will include the careful development of the construc- tion of our 64 units of housing anticipating an early 1974 occupancy.Con- current with these actions will be the processing of applications for residency in accordance with the regulations of the D.C.A. Respectfully submitted, Yolanda Bacarri James R.DeGiacomo Samuel Hassan Mary Jeanette Murray W.Chester Browne,Chairman REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: The following is the anniial report for the Building Department for tthe year 1972. This department issued 121 Building Permits for various structures and alterations and collected $4,016.00 in fees which were paid to the Town Treasurer.The estimated cost of all projects which Building Permits were issued was $1,937,755.00. The following is a breakdown of Permits issued. New Single Family Residence 30 Swimming Pools 5 Advertising Signs 7 Demolition of Building 2 Commercial Buildings 3 Club House 1 Family Garage 6 Remodeling and alterations 67 All reported violations of the Zoning By-Law were investigated and ap- propriate action taken as required. 81 I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr.O'Donnell the previous Building Inspector and all Town Departments for their cooperation and assistance since I assumed this Office on August 10,1972. Respectfully yours, James A.Litchfield Building Inspector Zoning Officer REPORT ON THE COUNCIL ON AGING Our report represents little change from our activities of last year.The Cohasset Council on Aging continues to meet regullarly on the second Mon- day of each month at 3:30 p.m.in the living room of the Unitarian Parish House.Council meetings are concerned with the planning and coordination of services for the elder citizens of our community.Council meetings are always open to the public. We communicate information regarding legislative developments,and social,educational and recreational programs for senior citizens through the publication of a monthly newsletter,"Senior Vista."Our mailings are presently reaching a little over two hundred addresses and seem to be well received.Anyone wishing to receive "Vista"may have his name added to the mailing list by calling the Unitarian Parish House (383-1 105)weekday mor- nings. While in general our efforts are directed at providing services to the elderly of the town through other agencies,the Council does allocate a direct subsidy for two luncheons and two bus trips for the senior citizens of Cohasset during the year.We feel that these activities aid us in making contact with the older people of the town as well as providing some needed entertainment and fellowship for our senior citizens. Respectfully submitted, Edward T.Atkinson Chairman Members:Albert Livingston,Thomas Twitchell,Elinor Kennedy, Karl Kristiansen,Frances Antoine,Wiloughby Hood,Dorothy Morse, Cornelia White REPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT ISLAND COMMITTEE This Committee,pursuant to the vote and appropriation at the March meeting of 1972,has contracted for the repairs to the wall at the Border Street entrance.This work is expected to be completed during the winter of 82 1973.Only part of the appropriation was expended.The Committee wishes to pursue further development of the accessways and parking facilities as well as opening up the whole area as a recreational facility for the benefit of the Town.A site such as this should not be permitted to lie fallow any longer and should be opened up to achieve full utilization of this beautiful and scenic location.We hope the Town will support any move in this direction. Edwin A.Young Chairman Government Island Committee REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD OF COHASSET The Planning Board has continued to pursue a role of active planning for the Town of Cohasset.In the early part of 1972,the Rules and Regulations of the Planning Board were revised,and shall be invoked after a Public Hearing in the near future.Additional work has involved a review of the proposed Cluster Zoning By-Law which was rejected by the Town Meeting in 1972, Multi-Family Housing,and technical base studies regarding the creation of a new Base Map for purposes of locating new subdivisions,natural features, and zoning.Further,assistance to the Selectmen's Office and to the Conser- vation Commission in obtaining Federal grants for Flood Plain deliniation was provided by the Planning Board.Work shall progress in these areas in order that entire recommendations for zoning changes may be presented in the 1974 Town Meeting Warrant,rather than sporadic zoning changes,as would otherwise be the case.It is therefore anticipated that major changes will be recommended in the 1974 Town Meeting,predicated upon a sound technical base of studies and mapping. Respectfully submitted, H.Robinson Hidell,III Chairman REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN The year 1972 brought several changes in the Office of Selectmen. First the Board acting as Tree and Park Commissioners employed Mr. Bradley G.Martin as Superintendent of the Tree and Park Department. Because of personal business,Mr.Maurice (Bud)O'Donnell resigned as our building inspector and zoning officer.We were sorry to lose ''Bud"as he had set up the office and was very efficient.We appointed Mr.James A. Litchfield to take "Bud's"place and he is doing a good job. Later we lost our very valuable Secretary to the Board,Mrs.Eileen Jacome who resigned for personal reasons.We have now employed Mrs. Marguerite "Peggy"Ramsay. 83 During the summer months we were able to hire six young people through the Quincy Youth Corps,a Federal Funded Program,at no cost to the Town. We also hired two men through the E.E.A.,another Federal Funded Program,for the Tree and Park Dept.,again at no cost to the Town. We also applied for and received Federal money to repair the damage caus- ed by the storm of February 1972. We wish to express our appreciation to all the citizens who have served on the various committee's this year. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Clark,Chairman Henry W.Ainslie,Jr. Mary Jeanette Murray OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Surveyor for the year en- ding December 31,1972. This year the Highway Department installed 31 Standard Catch Basins and laid 2530'of 10"-12"-15"pipe,6300'od Mix in Place was laid on various streets and private-ways throughout the Town. 3100'of Bituminous Asphalt Type I was put down and 12,000 gallons of liquid asphalt was used in sealing different roads. In the Spring catch-basins were cleaned,sand and debris was swept up. Street lines were painted and the problem of maintaining street signs and markers was continued. The drainage on Redgate Lane will be completed this year and the road resurfaced.Two thirds was completed in 1972. In the future Pond Street from Cushing Road to Bancroft Road will be drained also Linden Drive. Chapter 90 funds were applied for the year.Where the funds will be used is not known at this time.During the winter and early Spring a problem has developed at Cat Dam.The Tidal Gate no longer holds the water in the lagoon.This was a Chapter 90 project in 1957.Maybe the Funds can be used there.If not,an Article for $20,000 will be in the Warrant. 84 Elm Street should be completed,it's been a long hard pull to get the money together. This year there will be an article in the Warrant to stop the discharging of water onto Public Highways.Cellar drains,Sump Pumps and cesspools create a problem each year in cold weather. I wish to thank the Town Officials,the citizens of Cohasset,and the men of the Highway Department who have assisted me throughout the year. Louis C.Bailey,Jr. Highway Surveyor SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES I hereby submit my report as Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31,1972. A total of one hundred and thirty-eight (138)weighing and-or measuring devices have been tested and sealed.Two weighing devices were condemned. The amount of One Hundred and Nine-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 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS 1972 This has been a busy year for the Board of Sewer Commissioners and the Sewer Department,which operated with a minimum of personnel. The Board has been greatly satisfied with the construction of Phase H by DiMascio Bros.,Inc.Contractors of Quincy.Construction began in mid March and was completed ahead of schedule (with the exception of some clean up work to be done in the Spring)allowing time for home owners to connect their property to the system before the winter weather. In addition to the High School complex there are now three other town owned buildings,twelve business establishments and sixty homes connected 85 to the system.This additional flow to the treatment plant has increased its ef- ficiency and is operating well.As the remaining connections are made,the plant will reach its designed capacity and any future expansion of the system will also necessitate a program of plant expansion. Our engineering firm of Fay,Spofford &Thorndike is completing the Town wide study and master plan,as well as preliminary studies of the 3-A business area.Veteran Housing area.Hillside and School area as voted un- der Article 23 of the 1972 Town Meeting.With this information in hand the Board will make recommendations at the next Town Meeting for further con- struction phases. Our expression of Thanks is extended to all Town Officials for their cooperation throughout the year,also to our part-time Superintendent and our Treatment Plant Operator for their interest and untiring efforts. Respectfully submitted, Board of Sewer Commissioners Rocco F.Laugelle,Chairman Alan S.Murphy,Jr. David B.Buckley REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS 1972 The Board of Water Commissioners have continued their efforts this year to expedite the construction of new water supply facilities,for which funds were authorized at the Annual Town Meeting,March 1972.On April 14 a grant of $994,000 was approved by the Department of Housing &Urban Development for the project.Some objection arose as to the location of the treatment plant causing a delay in advertising for bids for construction.It appears that construction should begin by Summer 1973. Experiencing one of the wettest years on record our distribution figures were some eleven million gallons below last year. The moderate growth of the Town continues showing 28 new accounts be- ing activated,only one hundred twenty-five feet of new 8"main was installed by a private developer. With Phase 11 of the sewer system being constructed,Water Department personnel renewed and-or repaired water mains and services as necessary un- der all effected streets. Our program of hydrant updating has continued,as well as the program of meter maintenance and conversion to outside visual reading equipment. 86 The financial condition of the Department is sound and continues to operate within its revenue. The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank all Town Officials, Department Heads and Committees for their cooperation and to the Superintendent and personnel of the Water Department for their continued loyal support. Respectfully submitted, Board of Water Commissioners Alan S.Murphy,Jr.,Chairman Rocco F.Laugelle David B.Buckley REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION The duties of the Conservation Commission were considerably enlarged by the Wetlands Protection Act Chapter 131 -Section 40 which puts the respon- sibility for holding hearings and writing the orders of condition on Conserva- tion Commissions.Although no hearings took place in 1972,at year's end one notice of intent had been filed for a hearing in January,and several more were expected momentarily. The Commission is pleased to acknowledge with thanks the donation by Nathan Bates to the town of approximately five acres of land at the junction of Herring Brook and Bound Brook,in the Lily Pond Watershed Protection area.About half of it is upland.The Commission is interested in acquiring other such pieces of land for conservation purposes,since they need no extra town services and add nothing to school enrollment. One event of considerable importance to the future of the Town was the hearing by the State Department of Natural Resources,preliminary to an order protecting our coastal wetlands under Ch.131,Sec.105.This act recognizes that coastal wetlands are a natural resource that should be protected in order to promote public safety,health and welfare.The order had not transmitted before the end of the year. The report of the Consultant,Ken Schult,was submitted to us and to the Selectmen.It detailed the needs of the town Trees and Parks Department, pointing out the great amount of work to be done.It has given the incoming Superintendent of Trees and Parks a valuable tool for planning. With a view toward improving Straits Pond,at the suggestion of the Conservation Commission,a group of High School Students has been study- ing the pond.It is hoped that their fieldwork,which will be made available to the town,will form the base for a set of suggestions for improving the pond's 87 ecology next year.The Commission would like to express its appreciation to these students and their teachers for their cooperation. The Commission is working with the Planning Board to broaden and im- prove the town's Flood Plain Zoning by-law.This is important for several reasons.It will protect future citizens from buying houses on land subject to flooding.It will permit those citizens whose houses lie in a designated zone to buy Federally-sponsored flood insurance.It will help to maintain the ground water supply to our town wells.And it will tend to preserve our lowlands and wetlands for conservation,recreation and wildlife. John Chase resigned during the year and Thomas Duggan was appointed to fill the vacancy.The Commission usually meets on the first Wednesday of each month.Meetings are open and all citizens are welcome.Several citizens have been attending the meetings regularly,and the Commission would like to thank them for their interest,help and advice. COHASSET CONSERVATION COMMISSION Joseph L.Becker Thomas S.Duggan,Jr. John F.Hubbard Herbert B.Marsh Penelope G.Place Patsy K.Rabstejnek John K.Bryant,Chairman ANNUAL REPORT -HARBOR DEPARTMENT I hereby submit the annual report of the Harbor Department for the year 1972.It is my belief that the harbor is operating at peak capacity and as ef- ficiently as possible.The Harbor Department had a very serious handicap this past year due to loss of the Yacht Club mooring barge.This resulted in, boat owners waiting to have their moorings set or moved,to become very irritated.There is money being appropriated this year for a town mooring barge which will alleviate this problem,and in time,make sure it doesn't exist again. The twenty-four foot patrol boat and the V H F radio donated to the town by interested and concerned citizens were greatly appreciated by the depart- ment.They made it possible for more efficient patrolling,search and rescue, and communications which were badly needed but not available in years past. There just seems to be no end to persons wanting to moor a boat in the har- bor and has resulted in a back log of over 250 applications on file.The last boat to be issued a mooring berth made out the application on July 1,1970. Present boat owners are urged not to increase the size of their present boat 88 without contacting the department and making out the proper forms or they could put themselves in the predicament of not having a berth to moor their boat.You just can't put a 30 foot boat on a 25 foot mooring!The boats are moored that tight and I will not allow this to happen and have one boat damage another.All boatowners are urged to read the by-laws and mooring regulations pertaining to the harbor so that when this department has to call a shot they will understand it is going to.I feel the citizens of the town make these by-laws,rules and regulations and pay me for enforcing them and this is the way it is going to be. The program of putting flood lights around the harbor has been completed and has resulted in less vandalism and theft than in previous years. The Corps of Army Engineers has been petitioned to make a survey of the dredged areas of the harbor and channel for maintenance dredging.At the present time there are several areas that need this badly. I feel that the harbor is one of the biggest assets of the town.The persons using it are well aware that it is going to take the co-operation of all concern- ed so that it can be utilized for the best interest of all. Respectfully submitted, Harry H.Ritter Harbormaster REPORT OF THE VETERANS MEMORIAL COMMITTEE We have completed another year as guardians of the Veterans Memorial. Again this year the committee feels it has done its job in keeping the memorial a "Show Place"paying tribute to our veterans.The cooperation of so many interested citizens,department heads,and committee members make the memorial upkeep possible. Annual plantings again this year were donated by the Council of Garden Clubs.The assistance given us by the Wire and Water Departments was in- valuable in our efforts against vandals.This year vandals took four flags and two sets of pole hardware.In a separate incident vandals took two bronze numerals from the stone face of the memorial.New numerals have been ob- tained and will be in place for Memorial Day. The committee operated within a budget of $150,through the Selectmens Office.We made recommendations on the expenditure of $126.the Selectmen duplicated one purchase at a cost much higher than the committee purchased,accounting for an over spending of the budget. 89 This chairman would like to take this opportunity to thank each committee member,town official,and town employee as well as the many interested citizens who helped in keeping the memorial a living and lasting tribute to the veterans of Cohasset who gave their service,and those who gave their service and their lives for this nation. Respectfully submitted.

PERSONALIZED SERVICE:much library use is self-service:a person looks in the card catalog or on the shelf and does not ask for help.Much of the time such a person finds what he wants.But too often he does not,and goes away dissat- isfied.One of the advantages of a small Hbrary is personal service.We invite library users to ask for assistance in using the catalogs and other reference sources,in locating materials on the shelves,in obtaining material not presently owned by the library,and in reserving material which is out when the user asks for it.To assist in following through on such requests,the hbrary has a "Request" card which users may fill out when they want a book or information which is not immediately available.The library will call the user when the material becomes available. In 1972,2,416 of these written requests were filled (less than 3%of total loans). 1,700 different people -almost 25%of Cohasset's population --submitted these written requests (averaging 1.4 per person). 1,421 different book titles or bits of information were requested.The bal- ance,995 (41%),were repeated requests for material in great demand,usually current popular books.Interlibrary loan through the Eastern Regional Library System filled 76 of these requests (32%),in some cases by photocopy of infor- mation.The balance were filled by library-owned materials,in most cases new purchases,including replacement of missing books and additional copies of popu- lar books. OPERATION OVERDUE:Concern over the rising cost of books and the con- tinuing struggle to recover overdue books resulted in a major effort.In April,an Amnesty Week was announced by fliers and news items,urging the fine-free return of overdue materials.About 18%of overdue materials were returned. In June,371 families were sent letters on 965 items long overdue.After two months,about 8%of the material had been returned and about 7%paid for. Some people were offended by the letter,which we tried to make as pohte and appealing as possible.We apologize if we antagonized anyone.We welcome suggestions for improving control over town-owned property without discourag- ing maximum free use.Our losses are no greater than in other libraries.But the cost of replacement reduces funds for new and-varied materials for which the people of Cohasset make above average demands of their library. 91 SURVEY OF STUDENT USE OF ADULT MATERIALS:For two weeks in February,every person who borrowed adult materials was asked which of the material,if any,was for the use of persons in high school or younger.Of total loans of adult materials,15%was for use of school-age persons (Use not neces-j sarily school-related,however.)By category of material,student use was: 19%of nonfiction books 7%of fiction books 40%of periodicals 13%of records The most revealing finding here is that,contrary to widespread assumptions, out-of-school adults,not students,are the major users of adult materials.(Keep in mind that the younger age group uses the children's collection,which repre- sents about 31%of total library circulation.) STUDENT OPINION SURVEY:In June an opinion survey on the pubhc Hbrary was given to students in grades 7-12.About 70%of students responded.Among these respondents it appears that nearly all use the public hbrary,80%using it at least monthly.One question asked if the student found it necessary to use the Hingham Public Library (which charges a $10 fee of nonresidents):53%of 10th graders,68%of 1 1th graders and 72%of 12th graders said yes.More than one-third of the respondents judged the Cohasset library record collection to be poor (they are right!).The most decisive vote was on the question,"Are there services or materials at the public Ubrary which you feel are unnecessary in view of the high school library?"84%said no and 16%said yes.Of those who said yes,none suggested what could be reduced,all but three reported using the public library at least monthly,and all but three asked for expanded hours and/or said they have to use the Hingham library.A fuller summary of the survey may be seen at the library. SUMMER READING PROGRAM:Children were again encouraged to explore recreational reading during the summer.Reading Certificates were awarded to 100 children who read at least ten books.A paperback book was given to each of the 65 people who read at least twenty books.Eighteen of the participants read thirty or more books.The "champion"reader,a third grader,read 85 books!Second and third graders made up nearly half the 100 participants. Participation was 25%higher than last year. FRIENDS OF THE COHASSET LIBRARY,INC.:This organization of over 100 members continues to benefit the community through the library.Volunteers gave 1 ,368 hours of regular scheduled time assisting at library routines.In addi- tion,Friends have arranged exhibits,sponsored film and other programs for children and for adults,and made weekly book deliveries and visits to two nurs- ing homes.This year a second donation of $500 in expensive,notable books was made by the Friends.A printed list of the total $1,000 in gift books in 1971-72 92 is available at the library.The Friends also purchased a toy box and toys for the pre-school area. GARDEN CLUBS ASSIST LIBRARY:A committee of members from Cohasset's garden clubs reviewed the gardening and landscape collections and recommended withdrawals and additions.This expert advice was much appreciated.The gar- gen clubs also donated $100 worth of new books in these subject areas. YOUTH CORPS EMPLOYEE:The Quincy Neighborhood Youth Corps,with federal funds,placed a Cohasset student in the Hbrary during the summer for about 100 hours of work.The town will also be reimbursed for supervisory time in the amount of $105. ART BOOKS MOVED:In a continuing effort to find room in our crowded li- brary,29 shelves of books on the arts and crafts were moved from the lower central stacks to the newly named Art &Music Room (the "new"multipurpose room).The use of this attractive room for meetings,group activities and pro- grams-is seriously threatened by the probability that more books must be housed there in the near future.

Respectfully submitted, Randolph A.Feola Chief of Police Cohasset,Massachusetts REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Personnel Committee has met regularly on the second Tuesday of each month.During this past year we have had at least two additional meetings monthly and have met more frequently since September,sometimes as many as three times weekly.We have tried to meet with each employee body as well as responsible Boards and Department heads to discover problem areas and to suggest solutions.Our biggest responsibility lies in the area of Collective Bargaining.This year,as in the past,the Personnel Committee was appointed to be the Collective Bargaining Agent for the Town.This responsibility is strongly governed by State statutes but leaves the real decision making up to Bargaining Agents,and local governing bodies (where financing is con- cerned).In our case the governing body is the Annual Town Meeting.As you may have noticed last year,there was some disagreement,as witnessed at Town Meting,as to who the Town's Bargaining Agent was -the Personnel Committee or the Advisory Committee.I believe this year that problem has been ironed out satisfactorily to all concerned.We do feel it improper for other bodies in Town to interfere with proper procedures for Collective Bargaining. As to our recommendations to this year's Town Meeting,we are again striving for a reduction in the work week for our firefighters.As you well know,our firefighters now work a 56 hour week,regardless of whether or not same of that time is "spent sleeping".It is unthinkable that we should subject 96 our firefighters to hours that we ourselves would not work.The average work week for local firefighters is between 42 and 48 hours.By your votes at least year's Town Meeting and on the referendum in November you indicated that you were not willing to reduce the work week to 42 hours.Your Personnel Committee has heard your voice.We also heard,however,that you were not opposed to a 48 hour week,but you were not given that choice.To the "sleeping"charge,I can only offer this:these men are ready,asleep or awake to protect your life and property,(in that order),and I can say that only 6 hours of their 14 hour night is spent in restless sleep.The majority of house fires in this Town occur at night.The men never know when they will have to "roll out"to a "working"fire or assist someone in need of their services. They stand on guard to serve YOU. We have sought to reward our longtime Police officers with longevity pay and our recently appointed Police officers with an Educational Incentive Plan.Articles covering these two subjects will appear on the Warrant. The cost of living increase to be granted is 3.7%for 1973 based on the 1972 wages and an additional 1.9%to be granted from January 1 to June 30,1974 also based on the 1972 wages.This is lower than many towns are granting, but we feel it fair to taxpayer and employee alike.We based our figure on the cost of living index for the Boston area for the year ending October 31,1972. This annual figure has been arrived at using the same parameters for several years. I wish to thank publicly those who have served this Committee so faithful- ly,even when times were rough.My special thanks go to James Gillespie who resigned recently for business reasons.We were pleased to receive into our group a respected member of our Community,Rev.Frank B.Chatterton,to replace Jim.Thanks to you all. Respectfully submitted, John M.McNeill,Chairman Rev.Frank Chatterton Kenneth Cook,Charles Ford John Trayers REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION Having completed it's sixteenth year of operation the recreation commis- sion feels that there is an even greater need for programs geared to people of all ages,as well as an increased need for facilities. Seventy-two saw well over 300 5-12 year olds attending the programs at Beechwood and Barnes Fields.This necessitated hiring two additional counselors bringing the total to five counselors plus two Youth Core 97 Workers.Interest was held by the weekly themes and presentation of prizes for costume and make-up.Trips to the Music Circus,Edaville,Salem Willows,Friday beach days and a visit by the traveling zoo highlighted the program. Night basketball at the Osgood School was interspaced with softball and open to girls and boys thirteen to nineteen years. The most popular program tennis instruction,was on a limited basis and open to all ages.A fee was charged as the budget could not cover the expense. The commission hopes to obtain enough money in this years budget to have lights installed at all courts and to hire an instructor. A band concert on the common by the U.S.Navy Band was well attended and more such programs are planned for the coming year. The summer of '73 should see the installation of the playground equipment at Beechwood Field.The equipment is here and similar equipment has been ordered for Barnes and Milliken Fields. Thanks go to the;Cohasset Firefighters for co-sponsoring a trip to a Red Sox game.We thank Hector Pelletier for the police escort.To the highway dept.for sub-grading the area designated for the new equipment in Beechwood.To Boston Gas for sponsoring a tour of Boston Harbor last summer enjoyed by the participants in the summer program. Winter activities are not as plentiful but we do light two ponds for skating. Future plans are to light a section of Lily Pond barring any restrictions plac- ed on reservoirs.We would also like to initiate a winter program in the school gyms but this rests on the budget.Plans are to work with Hingham not only during the summer,as we do on the Hull Street playground,but to join forces and provide more winter recreation. Our efforts in the renovation of the football field and the installation of the practice field saw some progress.The new field is almost complete and hopefully the grass will take hold in the spring.Thanks go to Norbert Rear- don HI,who was instrumental in getting the Marines from So.Weymouth to donate their time and heavy equipment in leveling the field.It is hoped work will continue on Milliken Field as soon as possible in the spring or early summer so as to have the field ready for the opening of school in September 73.

The Committee explored many alternatives,including the extended school year and pre-engineered,(portable)classrooms.After a year's study,the Ex- tended School Study Committee,consisting of eight subcommittees,issued a report and a summary of its report which did not recommend the extended school year as an economy measure.(A copy of that report is available in the town library.)Pre-engineered classrooms were found to be:not re-imbursable by the state School Building Assistance Bureau lacking in the flexibility of use desired by the School Committee;and subject to costly maintenance and deterioration problems. A third alternative,architect-designed renovations and additions to both the Osgood and the Deer Hill schools at a cost of $1,360,000,was defeated at the Town Meeting of March,1972. However,$5,000 was appropriated to continue investigation and study.A special Town Meeting in June appropriated $25,000 for preliminary plans for a new school. The committee held 12 regular meetings,seven joint meetings with the School Committee,interviewed 11 architects,and conducted field trips to view 14 schools from Lawrence,Mass.to Providence,R.I.On the basis of the schools themselves,the school building experience of the architects, testimony of the teachers and community members,the supervision of con- struction by the architects,cost per square foot,and other factors,the choice was narrowed.The final and unanimous choice of the committee was Earl R. Flansburgh and Associates,of Cambridge. After a preliminary meeting with both the School Committee and the School Facilities Committee,the architect proceeded to study several alter- nate plans suggested by Superintendent of Schools,James F.Gray.The results of these studies were presented to both committees. In late December the School Committee selected a proposal for a new facility to be built as part of a campus-type development incorporating the Deer Hill School.The new building plus the Deer Hill School would have facilities for 925 students;tentative plans were to leave the Kindergarten and 1st Grade at the Joseph Osgood School for the immediate future.The School Committee and the School Facilities Committee agreed that,because of the 99 importance of this project,it should not be jeopardized in any way by rushing the plans for a March Town Meeting deadline.They anticipate presenting the plans for Town Meeting approval at a special meeting later in the spring. Respectfully submitted, Lot E.Bates,Jr. Barbara W.Bliss Sheila S.Evans Robert L.Julian John F.Keane Joseph Perroncello Barbara M.Power Sumner Smith,Jr. David C.Whipple,Chairman REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TREE AND PARK COMMISSIONERS Considerable progress was made during 1972.Well ovr 100 tree stumps were removed along with dead and dying trees.These were all chipped up,the holes filled with loam and seeded. New trees were planted in many areas throughout the Town in protected areas so that they would not be damaged by cars or plows or damaged by the salting of the roads. Due to excessive rainfall spraying was difficult but we still managed to keep good control over all insects. A new practice field was installed adjacent to Milliken Field and we were able to increase the area over the original plan,without an increase in cost. We hope to refurbish Milliken Field this spring and to install an underground sprinkler system with the assistance of the Water Department. Also due to the heavy rainfall we were kept exceptionally busy all summer with out mowing of the various parks and playgrounds and the grounds at the three schools. We were fortunate,with your help,to have been able to purchase a new truck,brush chipper and a new mowing machine in 1972.With the use of this new equipment and with the additional planting of more new trees throughout the Town we feel we can keep Cohasset more beautiful in the years to come.

Insurance Retirement Equipment &Def. 12 months $6,780.00 $7,910.0014 months Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities for the December 1,1971 to November 30,1972. The project is a year round cooperative effort embracing the City of Quin- cy and Towns of Braintree,Cohasset,Duxbury,Hingham,Hull,Marshfield, Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth,covering a total area of 172 square miles, servicing a population in excess of 230,000. The Project is authorized and acts under the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws,Chapter 252,Section 59,mosquito control provisions,and Chapter 1 12,Acts of 1931,pertaining to maintenance of ditches put on the salt marshes under original act. The Project continued to base its program on a recommended three phase approach to community mosquito control: A.Source Reduction,eliminating or reducing of water breeding sites of the mosquitoes B.Reduction at the Source,larvaciding at the water breeding sites whereby a very minimum amount of insecticide can effect the greatest amount of kill of mosquito larvae and pupae. 101 C.Reduction of adults,by an atomized space and residual spray in an area usually between the nearest accessible site of suspected mosquito emergence and the area of a noted large mosquito buildup. Giving priority of operation in the order above. Source Reduction: All mosquitoes need a water source to breed.However,water alone does not constitute a mosquito condition.The requisites of stagnation, brackishness,pollution and level fluctuation are also necessary to some ex- tent.Eliminate one,two,or all of these conditions,termed "source reduction or water management"and mosquitoes would also be eliminated to the same degree. The project operates 2 crawler tractor backhoe trenchers especially adapted to work upon coastal salt marshes;this is where the greater amount of its mosquito problems would be. Along these lines of source reduction this project accomplished the follow- ing in this past year: 13,263 cu.ft.new ditch excavated 319,015 cu.ft.ditches reclaimed 9,080 feet of brook and stream cleaning 77,284 sq.ft.of brushing to facilitate access to work and treat these breeding areas. Reduction at the Source: Mosquitoes,while in their period of water development (larvae and pupas) are in their most vulnerable state for they are in large concentrations and restricted to small areas,thus allowing very minute amounts of insecticide to render the greatest level of mosquito fatality,the same time this limits to a great extent the harmful effects on other aquatic and marsh life with such low dosages. Several methods are employed by the project to mosquito larvacide;air- craft,both helicopter and fixed wing making low volume application to the large woodland swamps,power sprayer tanks,with hose,in areas accessible from the roads,back pack sprayers to the smaller and inaccessible areas,also power sprayers mounted on Jeep model vehicles are used to treat roadside and storm drain catch basins. All areas larvacided are either actually breading mosquitoes at the time of application or are known to be sure breeding areas at future dates. 102 Accomplished by this project by reducing at the source in this past year,2,- 880 acres were larvacided by helicopter,9,060 acres were larvacided by fixed wing aircraft,3,198 gallons of insecticide were used to larvacide 3,198 acres by various means of ground equipment,2,586 gallons of insecticide were used to larvacide 27,411 basins.1,357 hours were spent pre-and post-checking these many breeding sites. Reduction of Adult Mosquitoes: By the use of power mist blowers,atomized particles of insecticide were dispersed in noted areas of large mosquito infestations.Contact with this in- secticidal spray by the Mosquito while in flight or as it rests in an area treated with this insecticide considerably reduced its numbers. In many areas inaccessible by vehicles,a power pack back mist blower was used.9,487 gallons of insecticide were applied to approximately 9,487 acres by both truck mounted and back pack mist blowers. The degree of success in both programs "Reduction of the Source"and "Reduction at the Source"can be measured by the steady reduction of the needs for adulticiding.This adulticide reduction now being realized in this project,however,certain weather and other conditions can reverse such a trend as did this past season. The spring of 1972 gave this area one of its wettest seasons in several years and continued so into mid-summer.The month of June having the record of third highest in precipitation on record.All this wet weather not only in- creased mosquito breeding sites but caused many incidents of rehatch in area previously treated due to wash away and water level fluctuation. Calls for mosquito service did increase over previous years necessitating an increase in adulticiding operation at the expense of a reduction in source reduction work. The check-out of each and every call received into projects office still remains the projects policy. The insecticides used in this project's operation in 1972 were: 1.Abate,the main mosquito larvacide formulated at between .031 to .046 pound of actual material to acre. 2.Baytex (Fenthion)as a larvacide in storm drain catchbasins and in breeding water having a high organic level at formulation rates at .015 to .062 pounds of actual material to acre. 103 3.Malathion,the main mosquito adulticiding material formulated at between 0.2 to 0.5 pounds of actual material to acre. These insecticides are all registered for mosquito control use in Massachusetts.The label recommendations formulates rates and limits in application are implicitly abided by and more often than less at the minimum levels. Eastern Equine Encephalitis: Although this year there were no reported incidents of Eastern Equine Encephalitis in man or horses this dred mosquito born virus remains a threat, for this year as in others the virus has been detected in the wild birds of the area and these are believed to be the natural reservoir of this virus. Dog Heart Worm has been reported as on the increase in the past two years.The mosquito is suspected of being the main vector for this fatal dog disease. For these reasons the mosquito remains a health menance in this area. The project wishes to acknowledge all assistance received from the officials and departments of the communities it serves and give notioe that shall as always remain ready with its personnel and equipment to continue to serve these wherever and whenever it is called upon.

for comparing the school sys- tem'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 pre- cise 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 118 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)stu- dents.

Our educational problems are many and there are no easy solutions.On the other hand,the School Committee is optomistic and feels that good progress is being made in many areas. There isn't space to mention all the happenings to the school system during the past year but some will be highlighted. Early in 1972,Mr.Nelson J.Megna,Superintendent of Schools,submitted his resignation effective on July 1st.At the time he resigned,Mr.Megna had completed three years in office.He accomplished a great deal within the Cohasset Schools;and the Committee wishes him well in his new endeavor as Superintendent of Schools in Waterville,Maine. By early March the School Committee was involved in a comprehenvise search for a new Superintendent.Over 200 inquiries and applications were received from all over the country.Many applicants were interviewed and school systems visited.Literally,hundreds of man hours went into the search for Mr.Megna's successor.Finally,the School Committee offered the superintendency to Mr.James F.Gray after interviewing him twice in Cohasset,and after members of the Committee spent a full day visiting his schools in Glen Ridge,New Jersey.Mr.Gray was the Committee's one and only choice for Superintendent.He accepted the position and took over the reins at the beginning of July. Mr.Gray comes to Cohasset with an extensive background in education as a teacher and principal in Newton,Director of Laboratory Schools,Universi- ty of Pittsburgh,Superintendent of Schools in Lincoln,Mass.,Assistant Superintendent in Cleveland Heights,Supervisory Principal in Scarsdale and finally five years as Superintendent in Glen Ridge,New Jersey. Mr.Gray has a wide reputation as an innovator and is deeply committed to educational change though not change for change'sake;he recognizes that some students perform best within a more traditional educational structure while others require different alternatives. Last Spring the Cohasset High School was evaluated by a team from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.Cohasset was voted con- tinued membership and accreditation for a period of five years.The evalua- tion team had many good things to say about the High School but felt that more should be done to strengthen offerings in business education and in- dustrial arts.Many of their suggestions have been implemented,some will be, and others the Committee felt didn't have merit. 121 Copies of the complete report are available in the schools and library for anyone who would like to read it. In June 1972,under a State grant,an Evaluation of the Cohasset Special Education Program was completed.The evaluation,as conducted by Heuristics,Inc.of Dedham,Mass.,used the new State regulations governing special education as the basic criteria and included other existing evaluative measures. The report praised many aspects of the program but raised more questions and suggested numerous ways to improve the program,the Committee ex- pects to implement many of the recommendations through the 1972-1973 budget.Copies of the report are available in the schools and Public Library. Teachers negotiations were carried on through the winter and spring culminating in a new two-year contract that took effect on September 1, 1972.The teacher salary scale for the 1973-1974 school year will be '^adjusted by the percentage increase change in the U.S.Department of Labor Con- sumer Price Index for Urban Wage Erners and Clerical Workers for Boston all items (1967-100)for the period January 1,1972 to January 1,1973 (January 1972 index figure 124.9)plus additional one percent (1%).In no event shall the increase be less than four and one-half percent (4^2%)nor more than five and one-half percent (5'/2%)." The School committee feels that the contract is a good one and will help recruit and retain first rate teaching personnel for the school system. Teachers have become more interested in school policy issues than ever before and the Committee hopes that this interest will always be directed in constructive channels. There have been a great many major personnel changes in the last several months.Mr.John Shaw,Curriculum Coordinator and Bill McCallum, Director of Pupil Personnel Services resigned,both,after many years of dedicated service to Cohasset.To replace them,Kenneth Grew was offered and accepted in early September the position of Assistant Superintendent of Schools.He has taught in the Sharon Public Schools and administered a cooperative education program at Northeastern University.In his few months on the job,he has proved to be a person of enormous energy. At the end of the 1971-1972 school year,Mrs.Katherine Mulcahy resigned as Principal of the Joseph Osgood School after more than thirty years in the system.Both the Superintendent and the School Committee tried without success to change her mind.Finally,her resignation was accepted with real regret.Mrs.Mulcahy was a great educator,and Cohasset has been fortunate to have her services for so many years.The Committee wishes her many hap- py years in retirement. 122 Mr.John Creamer has been transferred from his position as Principal at Deer Hill to replace Mrs.Mulcahy at Joseph Osgood.This is a challenging position with many innovative educational programs to be introduced.The Committee believes that Mr.Creamer is well equipped to do a superb job at Joseph Osgood in the years ahead. Late in August,Mr.Donald Ford was offered and accepted the position as Principal of the Deer Hill School.He had previous teaching experience in Lincoln and was teaching and directing an educational program at Skidmore College just prior to coming to Cohasset. Sumner Smith retired from the School Committee after many years of out- standing service.The Town owes him a real debt of gratitude. There are so many ideas and programs such as the Alternative School at the High School,non-voting student council representation to the School Committee,the intramural program at the high school,the tentative aban- donment of X period that the Committee invites you to visit the schools and look into these programs in detail. On many fronts Superintendent Gray has'moved without delay and made good progress: 1.He supervised the successful alterations carried out at Joseph Osgood and Deer Hill Schools made necessary by the crowded conditions resulting from the return of the Kindergarten from the First Parish and the need for better use of available space.Plans are moving ahead for a more permanent solution to the space problem with new facilities. 2.Working with the School Committee and other groups,guidelines have been written and accepted for establishing Cohasset's Goals and Objec- tives. 3.Traditional School Committee policy is being reviewed,considered,and finally the Committee will have a written codified book of policies.A new,improved,goal-oriented approach to Teacher Evaluation is one ex- ample of what will be included in the Committee's policy notebook. 4.A whole new approach to budgeting is being instituted.It's called Program Budgeting.Each school budget and each individual program is considered by itself rather than looking at the totals of a line item budget. This budget changeover is taking a lot of time,but the School Committee feels that the program budget will lead to a much greater understanding of and accountability for the school system's costs and operations. The Committee is very pleased with the outstanding work that Superinten- dent Gray has been able to accomplish in such a short time on the job.The future won't be easy because change and innovation always bring pain during 123 the period of adjustment.There is much to be done.There will be many con- troversial issues.In Mr.Gray the Town is blessed with a first-class educator to run the school system,but he'll need everyone's help and support,teachers, townspeople,and School Committee if he's to be successful. John P.Reardon,Chairman Daniel C.Cotton Thomas J.Wallace Robert D.Canty Douglas R.James David C.Whipple ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS This report is divided into two sections;Section I contains projected plans for the schools in the year ahead and Section II contains the statistical data for 1972,data which if read without comparison to previous year and without proper reflection are actually meaningless;i.e.a cursory glance at enrollment figures means nothing,but when one compares the figures and realizes that for over six years we have been squeezing more students into Osgood and Deer Hill than the recommended capacity;we have hired specialized per- sonnel to perform a service for which there is no room for them to operate effectively;then these statistics take on meaning and require that priority judgments be made within the community. -Section I -Cohasset in the Years Ahead - "We cannot tolerate another generation that knows so much about preserving and destroying life,but so little about enhancing it.We cannot permit our children to come into their maturity as masters of the atom and of the gene,but ignorant and barbarous about the ways of the human mind and heart."-Alvin C.Eurich -. If the Cohasset schools are to build upon the excellent foundation laid through the sixties,then we must begin the arduous task of personalizing our schools;we must seek better ways to help each student to develop those skills and strategies necessary for handling,assessing,organizing and applying in- formation;develop their ability to cope with the environment and society; gain free access to effective knowledge and,probably most important of all, assist them to rediscover what makes us human. Some aspects of our present educational situations suggest we consciously or unconsciously tend to adopt a philosophy of ignoring questions and problems as long as possible in the hope that they will not become too troublesome.I contend that to continue on this path can only lead to the early death of a virorous community and school system.The seeking of solutions to 124 problems can at times be unnerving,particularly vexing,and traumatic;but on the other hand complacency or vilent thrashing about does little to help in the slow and steady uplifting of our schools.We must have the built-in mechanism to seek new and better ways,the right to fail and be able to learn from our failures,to build in continuing self-renewal devices,re-train our teachers and administrators for we are requiring skills and knowledges that they were not prepared for.The community has a basic responsibility to assist in a planned and orderly changeover.Such fundamental changes in in- struction requires new curricula,new tests for assessing students'progress, new in-service training courses for faculty and administration,and new organizational patterns. We should get off the drawing board as soon as possible those plans that will: 1.Establish a skilled team to identify children's different patterns and modes of learning;detect early these individuals with possible potentials for learning problems,and provide the necessary alternatives before a student's learning pattern becomes short-circuited.The challenge of identification of these potential problems in the early primary years is one we must ixieet. 2.Re-design our K-12 graded system to comply with the philosophy of con- tinuous progress:A system that will allow each child to work at all times and the instructional level which best fits his educational foundation and metal maturity.Basic to this form or organization is a change in the K-12 grade structure,curriculum,and the traditional self-contrained classroom.Such a plan will require definitely closer ties and working relationships between parents,teachers and students. 3.Reverse the formula for budget requests.The long-held theory and prac- tice that 'Time +more $-a better program or more and more of the same yields better schools"is not a sound one.The current major emphasis of focusing on "inputs"should be shifted to a thorough analysis of the "outputs",the consideration of the growth students make in acquiring attitudes,values,skills and knowledge -in essence a focusing on the performance of the learner.To not be concerned with the product of education and what the individual is becoming is not a prudent utiliza- tion of the community school tax dollar. 4.Seek out and clarify the community's aims,goals and expectations for its youth.The schools must reflect what the community chooses to support in the classroom.The community must make itself accountable for the changes needed in its schools.The task of helping Cohasset youth to dis- cover for themselves a moral,aesthetic,intellectual and scientific heritage with the reasons to make it a part of their life style,is a deeply 125 involved responsibility of the community;the schools can act as only one of the many agencies to bring this about. 5.Specifically,lead to the personalization of instruction this means in- struction geared to the distinctive attributes,needs and understandings of the individual student,arrived at by a thorough and repetetive assessment of the student's needs.The learning tasks are indentified by the learner or teacher or by both. 6.Establish teaching teams -a group of 4-6 teachers each with a special skill,assigned to a specific group of students.A team situation provides greater opportunity for teacher self-analysis;closer unity within the faculty;and a sincere sharing of personal and professional strengths,in- structional skills,teaching responsibilities and the opportunity to reduce the duplication of teaching efforts.For the student,the team should provide a maximum flexibility in grouping for learning,the opportunity to teach and learn from each other,the opportunity for students to ad- vance at their own rate.Teaching teams greatly enhance the opportunity for outside specialists from the community to make an effective con- tribution to the student's school experiences. 7.Establish at the High School level a public service learning program with credit.Too often work study programs are designed to involve only vocationally-oriented students and a negative stigma often develops around the concept of work study.The opportunity to allow students to work in volunteer or paid service activities during the day would have tremendous advantages and relevance to students by preparing them for the type of career changes that they can face in life.Self-confidence and responsiblity are not acquired vicariously;they require direct confronta- tion with real life situations,including the spectre of failure.Suggested service activities are endless;e.g.working in hospitals,homes for the elderly,fire and police departments,teacher assistants and tutors at all age levels,welfare and public health office,etc.The metropolitan area is a large classroom;it needs to be incorporated into our curriculum.Adult volunteer assistance in the Cohasset schools presently is providing well over $400,000.worth of time and help and we haven't scratched the human talent available in this community to improve the schools. There are many more opportunities for Cohasset to grow and I am looking forward to working with the Committee,faculty and residents for the better- ment of the Cohasset Schools in the years ahead. Respectfully submitted, James F.Gray 126 1972 REPORT OF COHASSET'S REPRESENTATIVE TO THE SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE The Vocational Technical High School continues to be one of Cohasset's hidden assets.Presently only 12 Cohasset residents attend the school,which has a total enrolment of 336.From my observations,student morale is high and there is general satisfaction with the educational efforts of the staff by parents,graduates and employers of graduates from the eleven courses. Both formally and informally I have met with administrators of the Cohasset schools to seek ways to inform Cohasset students and parents of the advantages of attending '*Vo-Tech".A student at "Vo-Tech"can follow a program that will permit him to enter a college with technical skills that will enable him to provide better self-support than the average student from a regular high school. In order to provide programs and facilities of even broader use to the region,the Committee engaged the Eudcational Consultants Council,Inc.of Weymouth.Although their report is lengthy with statistical evidence,in es- sence it recommended expansion to 800,including at least 200 girls with up to 14 new areas of vocational education.During 1972 the Committee will study and commence to inform the residence of the region of the details of the proposed imrovements to the school. The highlight of the year was the granting of a 10 year scholastic accredita- tion from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.This was achieved after a team of vocational teachers from throughout New England thoroughly inspected our curriculum,personnel and plant facilities.One ma- jor criticism was the offering of too many programs without sufficient space for safety and efficiency. As applications for attendance exceeded available openings,the Com- mittee in 1971 limited applications to residents of the towns in the region. This year each town was given a quota based on the original capital cost ap- portionment agreement of 1960.Cohasset's quota of 1 1.2%is now being fill- ed from other member towns.With a greater rate of population growth in four of the member towns,it will be difficult to maintain this favorable quota for Cohasset without more students from Cohasset.An indication of the value of vocational education is the tuition rate of $1,760 for non-residents. There were no Cohasset students amont the 49 graduates in 1972. In closing,on behalf of the town,I wish to thank my predecessor,John A. Geary,for nearly 8 years of faithful service to the region. 127 Respectfully submitted, Sumner Smith,Jr. Cohasset Representative REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Cohasset: I heereby submit my report of the Wire Department for the year ending December 31,1972. The work load of this department has increased over the past years due mostly to the expansion of the school system,plus increased work in other departments.We also have our regular duties,such as the maintenance and repairs of the Fire Alarm system which is growing each year.We noW have over one hundred Fire Alarm boxes,both street and master type.The work involved in keeping the Fire Alarm System in good working order takes very much of our time.Our work on Police signals has increased and will continue to do so.Wiring inspections have been more numerous due to the increased population of the town.Fees for wiring permits were increased this year ad- ding more revenue to the town. I feel that the money this department saves the town,doing all electrical repairs and new installations for all departments is a saving worth thinking about.New rules and regulations on safety requirements by the State Building Department has added more work for thii»department,especially in the school system. I might add that I am retiring as Superintendent of the Wire Department as of February 28,1973.I have been very happy with my job over the years, and have tried to do the job to the best of my ability.I wish to extend my thanks to all departments for their cooperation and to the Board of Selectmen,Advisory and Personnel Board,and to all individuals who have helped my in my work,especially my assistant,Steven Wigmore. Respectfully submitted, Edward P.Malley Superintendent of Wires REPORT OF THE COHASSET FIRE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: I herewith submit the annual report of the Fire Department for the year en- ding December 31,1972. 128 INVENTORY of AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT of the FIRE DEPARTMENT COMPANY TYPE OF EQUIPMENT STATIONED MAKE YEAR Engine 1 750 GPM Triple Combina- tion Pumping Engine Headquarters Pirsch 1961 Engine 2 750 GPM Triple Combina- tion Pumping Engine North Cohasset Pirsch 1954 Engine 3 500 GPM Triple Combina- tion Pumping Engine Beechwood Mack 1950 Engine 4 500 GPM Pump -400 gallon Water Tank Headquarters Ford 1953.

The Town Meeting of 1972 authorized the replacement of Engine 4,a 1953 500 GPM pump.This will be replaced by a 1,000 GPM pumper with a 500 gallon water tank and a fully compartmented body.Delivery of this unit is ex- pected about August 1,1973. Replacement of pumping engines in the future will have to be guided by what action is taken toward replacement of the existing sub-stations at Beechwood and North Cohasset.The structual features of these two buildings prevents replacement and relocation of apparatus. STATIONS and EQUIPMENT ^H The policy of maintaining the tools and appliances of the department was 129 loaded on the apparatus was changed periodically.Both of these procedures aid in extending the life and reliability of the fire hose. The General Court amended Chapter 148,Section 51 A which states the requirements for self-contained breathing apparatus carried on fire ap- paratus.This change in the law requires the addition of five units to those presently in service.Provision has been made in the department budget to meet this obligation. The Post Office at North Cohasset closed during the year 1972 and the fire department was authorized to use the space they abandoned.This makes the quarters much more pleasant than those which the department used for many years. Regardless of this change,the stations at Beechwood and North Cohasset are poorly located geographically for good response of fire apparatus to the entire town.An article has been submitted for consideration at the 1973 Town Meeting which in my opinion will meet the current and future needs of the fire department ..in a practical and economical manner. SUMMARY of ALARMS and EMERGENCY CALLS AUDIBLE ALARMS 99 STILL ALARMS 191 290 This summary is broken down into the following classifications: Smoke and Gas Investigations involving structures 48 Electrical -.12 Automobile,truck,motorcycles gasoline powered equipment 20 False alarms,hoax calls and bomb scares 32 Broken gas mains 5 Automobile,truck and motorcycle accidents 7 Aid to persons,first aid and resuscitation,rescue of persons from water and trench cave-ins 67 Building fires 32 Sprinkler alarms,for fire and system failure 2 Rubbish,incinerator and dump fires 12 Brush,grass and woods fires 17 Miscellaneous alarms 14 Mutual Aid to Scituate 6 Hull 12 Hingham 4 Multiple Alarms 2 130 The number of false alarms,bomb scares and hoax calls has reduced con- siderably from last years total of forty-nine.This number is still far too many and should be of major concern to all citizens.The number of man hours in- volved in these calls and the fact that much apparatus is out of service for lengthy periods effects every member of this community ..the resulting delay and lack of manpower could result in disaster.The cooperation of all citizens is required in assisting the fire and police departments if the persons involved are to be apprehended. The number of brush,grass and woods fires is down considerably from last year ..61 for 1971 aainst 17 for 1972.There are two factors involved here; the first being that the past year was the wettest on record in recent years; secondly,is the effects of the "Regulations for the Control of Air Pollution in Metropolitan Boston"have been in existance only two years.The first year was quite dry ..the second year was very wet ..at least one more year is re- quired to establish some kind of an average effect on outside fires. RECOMMENDATIONS The following is a list of recommendations that would aid the fire depart- ment in doing a more complete job in the areas of fire suppression and fire prevention. 1 . Replacement of the Beechwood and North Cohasset Fire Stations into a more centrally located,modern facility.This would increase the speed of response of apparatus to all sections of the town,and allow for a more concentrated attack on each fire. 2.Add and amend the building code to include a requirement for installa- tion of home fire alarm and detection systems. 3.The addition of at least six permanent firefighters to the department to provide adequate manning of the apparatus.Apparatus responding to an emergency with one man,the operator,is far from adequate manpower. 4.The addition to the department of a small four wheel drive vehicle.Adap- table to brush and woods fires as well as general service. CONCLUSION In conclusion I would like to extend the thanks of this department to the citizens of Cohasset,the Board of Selectmen,the heads and members of all town departments and boards. To the Officers,Firefighters and Call Firefighters of this department I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for performance of 131 their assigned duties in a cooperative and diligent manner.

Public Health Nurse,Nursing services by contract with the Social Service League Joseph Laugelle Superintendent of the Town's Disposal Area Charles T.Patrolis Plumbing Inspector Earl McArthur Plumbing Inspector The role of the public health is the protection of health and the promotion of human comfort and the well-being through control of man's environment. The population increase and the diversity of human activities which have ac- companied that increase have intensified environmental control difficulties in those areas.The environmental and human problems during the decade have generated new laws and new concepts of basic health services,which have been taken as granted and were able to be postponed but are now mandatory. First of all we must operate our disposal area as a Sanitary Landfill opera- tion.One of the provisions of Section 150A,Chapter 111,of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts states:"No Sanitary Landfiill facility shall be hereafter constructed or operated unless the proposed use and the plans and design data therefore have been approved by the State Depart- ment of Public Health".Therefore,in compliance with the above law,the Board of Health must now ask for an increase in the budget for the cost of the required engineering services and for the site preparation.The engineering services will clear up some of the misconceptions of the longevity,the need of control,expenditures and the required manpower of the disposal area. 132 DISPOSAL WORKS CONTRUCTION New construction disposal works permits 22 Renewal construction disposal works permits 22 Alterations disposal works permits 35 Finals inspections 45 Percolation tests witnessed 63 Short forms permits 53 Dye test conducted 20 NUISANCE COMPLAINTS Sewage overflows 71 Housing inspections 1 Animals 4 Refuse 5 Miscellaneous 25 Total 106 FOOD HANDLING ESTABLISHMENTS Year round restaurants 12 Seasonal establishments 3 Retail food establishments 7 School cafeteria 3 Water samples taken 14 Meat samples taken Swab test of utensils 112 Milk and oleo licenses 33 Milk dealer's permits 3 Total inspections 113 OTHER HEALTH AGENTS ACTIVITIES Inspections of day care centers,daycamp, public schools,and nursing homes 24 Biologicals pick-ups from state's diagnostic laboratory 8 Burial permits issued 60 International immunization certifications 78 Anti-rabies clinic inoculations 210 Dead animals to laboratory for rabies determination 2 Influenza vaccine clinic,senior citizens 43 town employees 27 Receipts to Town Treasurer $2,727.10 PLUMBING INSPECTIONS 133 Registered plumbers 81 Permits,new construction 29 Permits,alterations 59 Permits fee collected $470.00 Fee payments to inspectors $458.00 ANNUAL REPORT OF NURSING SERVICES PROVIDED TO COHASSET BY THE SOCIAL SERVICE LEAGUE Admissions Home Visits Office MATERNITY 65 109 HEALTH PROMOTION (Visits made for health education and supervision) Premature Under 28 days 28 days to 1 year 1 -4 years 5-19 years 65+years DISEASE CONTROL (Visits made primarily for teaching and guidance of patient and family.Not covered by 3rd party payments.)

Finally,it should be noted that the low number of cummunicable diseases reported is not accurate,rather it indicates only those cases reported to the local and state Board of Health by the area physicians.We should like to en- courage local doctors and individual people to report communicable diseases to the Board of Health or the Social Service League so that proper followup and referral may be done as indicated.
