The Board convened in more than fifty regular and special meetings and spent numerous hours in daily operation of the department.They also attended many hearings and meetings of other Town Boards and Committees,as well as, regional,county and state meetings directly affecting the affairs of the Town. A committee,appointed by the Selectmen,to assist in evaluating and recom- mending solutions to Town office space needs is progressing on schedule with recommendations to be made at our next Annual Town Meeting. The very important task of up-dating and codifying our by-laws is being performed under a committee of the Selectmen who will submit several proposed changes at next annual meeting.At least one,and usually more,members of the Board,serving ex-officio,attend their weekly meetings. Matters required to be carried out by town meeting vote have either been completed or will be before the fiscal period ends.An exception is Article 31 authorizing repairs to the Government Island pier.No bids were received presumably because insufficient funds are available to complete the project according to specifications.The latter will be reviewed and new estimates will be presented to the next annual town meeting. Except for increased costs,the fuel oil and gasoline crisis has leveled off. However,as a result,gasoline suppliers will no longer maintain storage facilities on Town property.Therefore,it will be necessary to provide increased storage capacity at the high school with coded dispensing pumps for accounting purposes. This year the Selectmen directly assumed responsibility for collective bargain- ing and engaged an outside paid negotiator.Negotiations are progressing satis- factorily with the Police and Fire Associations with agreement expected soon.A first contract is being negotiated with the recently certified American Federation of State,County and Municipal Employees who represent the Highway,Tree & Park,Wire,Water and Sewer Departments.Being a first contract,negotiations are expected to take somewhat longer than continuing contracts. Application has been made to procure a new Class I Ambulance at reduced cost through a special volume purchased by the State.The decision was made to transfer responsibility for its operation to the fire department with both police and fire personnel manning the vehicle as emergency medical technicians. Both departments are training additional men to assure the Town of a first-class municipal ambulance service. The Town continued to benefit from Federal manpower programs through 19 the Youth Corps and C.E.T.A.work assignments.These programs have provided valuable experience for participants while performing necessary and useful tasks for the Town. Federal revenue sharing funds in the amount of $84,507.have been made available to the Town in 1975.As in the past,these monies have been applied in a manner which effectively reduces the tax rate rather than expending them on new programs. The Board of Selectmen extends its sincere appreciation to all Townspeople, employees,boards and committees for their cooperation and assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Clark,Chairman Mary Jeanette Murray Henry W.Ainslie,Jr. COHASSET HOUSING AUTHORITY On January 24,1975 the sixty-four apartment Community for the Elderly and Handicapped was turned over to the Cohasset Housing Authority for occupancy,by the Contractor. The first tenants moved in on January 27,1975 and the Community was fully occupied on March 1,1975. Various unfinished phases of the work were completed during the year,and it is anticipated that all contractual requirements will be completed in the spring of 1976. Our thanks to Mr.James De Giacomo who completed five years of service on the Board in 1975;and we welcome the newly elected Board Member, Mrs.Patricia Barrow. Mr.Alfred Odermatt was reappointed as Executive Director,and Mr.Mike Emanuello will continue to serve as Maintenance Man. We are very pleased with the overall success of the Community,and the fine spirit and cooperation of the tenants. Respectfully submitted, Yolanda Baccari Patricia Barrow Samuel Hassan Mary Jeanette Murray W.Chester Browne,Chairman 20 1975 REPORT OF THE BY-LAWS STUDY COMMITTEE The Committee was appointed in July,1974,by the Board of Selectmen.It holds open meetings,usually on Monday evenings in the Town Hall.At these meetings,the Committee reviews the existing By-Laws of the Town,meets with Officers and Department Chairmen of the Town,examines By-Laws of compara- ble towns in the Commonwealth,and considers possible formats for a compila- tion of the current rules and regulations. At the Annual Town Meeting on May 3,1975,the Committee requested changes in Articles VI and VII of the By-Laws as they existed at that time.The citizens of the Town voted to accept the new articles as proposed. At the Annual Town Meeting in May 1976,additional changes will be offered for consideration and action. The By-Law Study Committee continues with the compiling and drafting of appropriate By-Laws,to be presented for deliberation and decision at future town meetings.

Respectfully submitted, Clarence M.Grassie,Chairman 88 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE COHASSET FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY 1975 Your library continues to vibrate with activity while hurting for space. LIBRARY USE SHOWS GOOD RETURN ON INVESTMENT.Widespread Cohasset use of the library continued during 1975,with total circulation up almost 4 percent.Total circulation was more than twelve times Cohasset 's population.Over seventy percent of Cohasset families have one or more library cards and about 250 persons visited the library each day. Other library activity,detailed below,continued at a high level,serving varied interests and age groups in the town. The library budget for 1975 represented 1 .6 percent of Cohasset's total budget.For an annual cost of about one book per capita,the town has access to an excellent collection of over 45,000 books,as well as magazines,records, and other material. Library use,therefore,represents an excellent return on Cohasset's invest- ment in it. LIBRARY POTENTIAL CRAMPED BY SPACE.Despite the excellence of Cohasset's library collection and staff,today the town is denied the important asset of an attractive and efficient library.Inevitable growth has not been matched by improvements in space over the years.It would be unsound for the town to permit this situation to continue when good remedy is at hand. The architectural study of the library's space problems,authorized by the 1974 town meeting,produced a practical plan to renovate unused space in the library's lower level.Combined with interior remodeling the plan would create an efficient,economical,and attractive town library which would well provide for the foreseeable future . At the 1975 town meeting,this renovation plan,unanimously endorsed by the library trustees,the directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library,the Friends of the Cohasset Library,and recommended by the Advisory Committee and the Capital Budget Committee obtained a majority vote,but not the neces- sary two-thirds. The trustees have,of course,reflected on and discussed that vote of the town meeting,as well as the economic and social conditions of this year,and the emergence of other town capital projects.We still are convinced that the town needs to improve its public library facility,that our renovation proposal is the best way to do it,and that the sooner we do,the better for service and the less costly it will be.This is the first time in the town's history public funds have been requested to provide space for your library.The cost of the renovation is equal to only two years of library operating budget.We believe 89 improved efficiency in operation,and improved accessibility and usefulness to the public will more than repay such an investment. OWNERSHIP OF THE LIBRARY BY THE TOWN.The long history of private-public,dual ownership of the library was concluded in 1975 by Cohasset's acceptance of the generous gift of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library to the town at the 1975 town meeting,provided the courts would allow the gift by the charitable corporation.Court authority was granted on September 2, 1975.Cohasset is deeply indebted to the Directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library for this progressive decision,especially to Roger B.Coulter who pre- pared the legal documents to petition the court and to transfer the property to to town. Special appreciation goes again this year to Cohasset's outstanding library staff,directed by Richard Hayes,and to the invaluable support of the library given by the Friends of the Cohasset Library under Jacqueline Dormitzer's capable leadership.

INVENTORY:The total holdings listed above are adjusted to reflect an in- ventory made on February 28,1975,during which every volume on shelf and in circulation was counted. SUMMER READING INCENTIVE PROGRAM:In cooperation with the school department,and in an effort to encourage skill and pleasure in reading, the library sponsors a reading program each summer.Participants receive certificates of recognition and free books.This summer,62 children com- pleted the program,reading a total of 1 ,690 books.We welcome suggestions and assistance in getting more children to participate in this worthwhile activity next summer.Perhaps neighborhood carpools could be organized to help more children get to the library regularly. FILM:The library borrowed 32 films (16mm)from the Regional Library Sys- tem during the year for library programs and for other organizations in town. Any group which would like to show films is invited to inquire at the library. RESERVE AND REQUEST SERVICE:The library filled about 2,300 reserve requests for books,records,magazine articles,or information.This represents less than 3 percent of total circulation,but it is an important service for these reasons:1)it encourages users to ask for what they need if it is not listed in the catalog or is not on the shelf;2)it assists the library staff in discovering material that needs replacement or added copies;3)it assures users that the library will follow up and fill the request if possible.Only 38 requests were not acted on due to inability to verify a title,or decision not to purchase.In general, requests represent materials that many people will be interested in,material which the library should own. INTERLIBRARY LOAN:Materials or information which we cannot buy,or which are beyond this library's area of responsibility,may be available through interlibrary loan from other libraries.In 1975 we sent 339 interlibrary loan re- quests to the Regional Library System;276 were filled by the following librar- ies:Quincy,Boston,Scituate,Andover,Lowell,Wellesley,Falmouth,North- ampton,Brockton,Taunton,New Bedford,Hingham,Braintree,and the Count- way Library of Medicine.These materials (and film)are delivered daily by the Regional Library System,which is funded by the state.The Cohasset Library supplies books to other libraries through interlibrary loan. RECIPROCAL BORROWING:In addition to interlibrary loan,many residents make extensive direct use of other public libraries free of charge.This service is not reimbursed by Regional or state funding.Hingham reports 1 5,000 loans a year to Cohasset residents;Boston Public Library reports about 1 ,200 loans a year to Cohasset residents.Direct loans to Cohasset residents by these two 91 libraries alone amount to about 18%of Cohasset 's total circulation.Cohasset makes about 4,000 loans a year to non-residents. FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY:Volunteer aides in the library gave over 2,000 hours of assistance at routine library work this year.This is equal to 1 .2 full- time employees.In addition,various committees of the Friends planned and carried out special programs for adults and children,several of which drew at- tendance between 100 and 300.Friends also arrange exhibits,do publicity work,sponsor an annual book sale,and give the library money for books and furnishings.Their support of the library is of enormous benefit to the com- munity and is very much appreciated by the trustees and staff. GIFTS:Many gifts of money or materials selected by the library were received this year,especially helpful at a time when our budget declined in purchasing power due to inflation in book prices.Many other gifts of used books,maga- zines,and records have been donated either for library use,Friends of the Library book sale,or to give away.We cannot acknowledge all gifts of used books,but believe it is a valuable service to others and well in line with the philosophy of a public library —to economize and conserve resources through shared use. $545 book fund in memory of Elizabeth and G.Heyward

C.Patrolia F.Allen Weisenfluh 5,276.34 95 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING Open meetings of the Cohasset Council on Aging are held every second Tuesday of the month at 10:00 AM,at the First Parish House,North Main St. The nine member board voluntarily meets to discuss the implementations of plans concerning the welfare and activities of this very important segment of the town's population —the elderly. The following programs and activities now available to the elderly are made possible through the efforts of the Social Service League,the Cohasset Housing Authority,the Council and over 200 dedicated,willing volunteers. HEALTH CARE:A "KeepWell"Clinic is held,under the auspices of the Social Service League,by the Town Nurse every third Thursday of the month at the First Parish House,in conjunction with the monthly meeting of the 60- Plus Club.A similar clinic is held every third Wednesday at the housing for the elderly,60 Elm Street.Additionally,flu shots are given every year at the offices of the Social Service League.All qualified citizens are welcome. HOUSING:Under the Cohasset Housing Authority,65 units are now fully occupied and are fully operative at 60 Elm Street,383-1948. INFORMATION:As a means of communicating upcoming social,educa- tional or recreational activities,the SENIOR VISTA,a monthly newsletter,is mailed to over 250 homes.Anyone wishing to receive this important source of information should call 383-1 105 weekday mornings. NUTRITION:Volunteers from the Social Service League conduct an ever increasingly popular program of Meals-On-Wheels.Six days a week hot meals are delivered to the homes of the elderly who need assistance in the preparation of food.Special diets are also available when required.There is a nominal charge of $1 .10 per meal,but additional financial aid can be arranged when needed.Over 2800 meals were served last year.Social luncheons are also served each Tuesday at 12:30 at the First Parish House.These are sponsored by the Council on Aging,prepared by the High School,and over 30 volunteers from St.Anthony's,St.Stephens',First Parish and Second Parish Congregational Churches serve the meals.There is a charge of $.75 per meal.The program is active whenever schools are in session.Approximately 500 meals were served last year.Those interested should contact 383-1 105 by Monday noon. RECREATION:The Council on Aging sponsors one recreational bus trip a year.Information regarding this trip is made available through the SENIOR VISTA.Further,the Council works very closely with the 60-Plus Club who meet every third Thursday at the First Parish House.The 60-Rus Club is also active in arranging bus trips,outings,theater parties,gala luncheons and fairs —with news of these appearing in the VISTA.The Senior Citizen Center is located at the First Parish House,and it is hoped that in the near future there will be a Director on duty three days a week to coordinate and conduct a planned pro- gram of additional recreational opportunities for our Elderly. 96 TRANSPORTATION:The Senior Shuttle Bus continues to increase in popularity and usage.Last year over 60 passengers per week were driven by over 60 competent volunteer drivers.The service was extended to include Sundays for Church Services,and the bus was made available for selected evening func- tions in the town.Those interested should call 383-0821 before 10:00 AM,for morning rides and before 12:30 for afternoons;for church bus call 383-1814. This service is probably the most used by the elderly for it makes it possible for them to enjoy a wide variety of business and social activities.

A variety of possible solutions has been considered with emphasis on the most likely situations.Sketches of prospective plans have been prepared and all concepts have been presented at the monthly meetings.Public participation has been solicited in an endeavor to clarify approaches and to promote under- standing of the on-going program. The plan is to obtain voter approval of a specific program in May,1976. Appropriation of funds will permit the development of working drawings and specifications during 1976.This in turn,will permit the appropriation of funds in 1977 for proceeding with the approved construction. The Committee appreciates the help received from all participants and trusts that full exposure has permitted clarification of most issues. Respectfully submitted, Julius L.Gould ,Chairman Andrew C.Paton Gordon E.Flint 97 REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Personnel Committee has had a steady course during the past year, engaged in the responsibilities delegated to it through the Personnel By-Laws and at the same time doing a bit of house cleaning —instituting a central filing system in the Town Accountant's Office of all Town employees sick leave and vacation data which is submitted each month by department heads —with the exception of the Police and Fire Departments and the school system. By mandate of the Personnel By-Laws the committee has reviewed all job descriptions and will be finished by April. Two years ago the committee prepared a comprehensive report summarizing Town employees —names,fringe benefits,classification and salaries;"Profile 1" for 1974-75,"Profile 2"for 1975-76."Profile 3"will be prepared immediately after the May Town Meeting and will be ready for use July 1 ,1976-77. The Committee has kept the "Personnel By-Laws"up to date and have distributed copies to all department heads.In the past year Mr.David Chittim and Mr.Kenneth Cook left the committee after serving notable years of service and we are indebted to them for the countless hours of time and energy they gave to the Town.They were replaced by Mr.Richard Yake and Mr.Norman Megathlin. Frank B.Chatterton,Chairman James F.Kearney William R.Cox Richard L.Yake Norman F.Magathlin -Committee Members 98 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The Planning Board has had a very full and productive year.Its activities have been in three areas:(1)Administrative handling of its own affairs;(2)rewriting the Signage and Zoning By-Law so they are more readable and usable;(3)its Coastal Zone Sub -Committee work. The administrative area has been largely handled by its Executive Assistant, Ms.Marie McCarthy.Under her capable guidance,records have been brought up to date.This was a serious matter,since critical materials for the Town's own stance have not been filed and properly cared for.A control log has been set up so the Board for the first time will know that critical documents have been put on record at the Registry of Deeds and will otherwise know their status.The caliber of the minutes and correspondence has been greatly improved.Further, the Planning Board finally has a location wher it can handle its matters in a businesslike manner.It has relocated to the Town building at 43 Elm Street.Its files,maps,plans and correspondence are located there on the second floor,with the exception of the files needed by Town Hall personnel from time to time.The Board is very grateful to Ms.McCarthy for her executive abilities pursuing these matters and seeing them through in a most capable manner. The Planning Board has had near perfect attendance of its five members this year.All have shown a deep interest in the Board's work and have regularly done considerable work and research outside of the weekly Board meetings.The Board has set up a rotating system of attendance whereby a member of the Planning Board attends each Board of Appeals hearings. The Planning Board has been very active in the rewriting of the signage by-law. This work has been under the guidance of Ms.Martha Gjesteby.It is felt this new signage by-law,which will be proposed at the Town Meeting,will be of great benefit to the Town. Nathan Bates has been spearheading the rewriting of the Zoning By-Law,and under his guidance we feel the product we will be presenting will be most bene- ficial.This new By-Law does not change the zoning of the Town,it just cleans up the ambiguities that are present in the old Zoning By-Law and otherwise makes it easier to administer by Town officials,such as the building inspector, the Board of Appeals,and the Planning Board. Ms.Roberta Leary has been guiding the Coastal Zone Sub -Committee,which has been studying the "planning"needs of the Town east of Route 3A.This has been a most comprehensive work.She has been assisted by Committee and Board Vice Chairman,Mark Goodrich and by the consultant to the Planning Board, Burk Ketcham of Anderson Nichols.The work of the Committee has been most effective in ascertaining the needs and problems of the Coastal Zone.Special attention has been given to the Village Center,the Harbor,the effect of the waste water treatment plant ,and to the various recreational resources which are in the zone.The Committee's specific recommendations will be made to the 99 Town Meeting so that certain work can be continued and with the hope that certain specific action can take place and resolutions can be passed by the Town Meeting to provide the Planning Board with guidance in the future. Respectfully submitted, Thomas Morse,Chairman Nathan W.Bates Martha Gjesteby Mark E.Goodrich Roberta Leary REPORT OF WIRE DEPARTMENT To The Honorable Board of Selectmen: I herewith submit the annual report of the Wire Department for the year 1975. Firealarm and Traffic Signals: With the installation of the new fire alarm panel,we were able to split the south end circuit,which in the past has given much trouble.New wires were installed along Summer,South Main,and Beechwood Streets.New boxes were installed around town,all fire boxes were painted,outer red cases along the sea front were replaced due to salt water damage.Testing of fire boxes is done on a weekly basis.All traffic lights were put in good working order and painted. Wire Inspections: All work done by electrical contractors was inspected by the department and fees turned into the town treasurer. Town Buildings: Electrical work and repairs in all town owned buildings was done by the department,with a great savings to the town. I wish to express my thanks to the Board of Selectmen,to all town depart- ments,and to the men who worked with me. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore Superintendent of Wire 100 REPORT OF THE COHASSET POLICE DEPARTMENT Annual report of the Cohasset Police Department for the year ending December 31,1975.

Tom entered the Police Service for the Town of Cohasset on April 21 ,1938 and rose through the ranks to the grade of Lieutenant.He was also Acting Chief of Police several times during this period. Tom and I worked on the night patrol for many years and when matters be- came difficult I always knew that he would be at my shoulder to back me up. Throughout the many years he gave of himself unhesitantly,never did I hear say,"That's not my job",he was always there when needed. 102 Tom always gave more than 1 00 percent of himself in helping our citizens of all ages,and many of our outstanding citizens of today have him to thank for putting them on the correct pathway through life during their formative years. Along with the members of the Cohasset Police Department and the citizens of the Town of Cohasset,I take this opportunity to wish Thomas B.Kane and his lovely wife Edna,many years of happiness to enjoy his retirement that he so richly deserves.

The offices of SSCAC are located at 17 Court Street,(rear),Plymouth,Mass., and the "Old Fire Station"at 27 Brook Street,Scituate.These offices plus increased personnel,brought in through the CETA Program and other State and Federal Services have enabled SSCAC to expand the level of services being provided. Following is a summary of the number of services or visitations provided to the residents of the town of Cohasset by the SSCAC during the year of 1975: Affirmative Action Alchoholic Family Rehabilitation 71 Career and Education Program 3 Elderly Program 7 Food Stamp Sales 15 Fuel Energy Emergency Head Start Housing Manpower Program -Ceta Placement/Job Development 7 Information and Referral Legal Services Program 10 Project:Young Pilgrim Welfare Advocacy 2 Total for 1975 115 106 Respectfully submitted, Alfred Odermatt, Selectmen's Representative REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS For the year 1975 Another twelve months has slipped away bringing our water improvement project closer to reality.The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank the voters for the continued interest in the project by voting at the January 1976 Special Town Meeting additional funds to go forward and rate increase to meet the financial obligations.The invitations for bidding are ex- pected to go out about March 1 ,1976 and construction should start in May. We would also like to thank the Cohasset Conservation Trust and especially Mr.Charles Fink for their contribution of the scale model of the Treatment Plant Facility,and to other interested citizens for their constructive input. Nineteen seventy-five again required a total watering ban very early in the Season.Despite the curtailment our records show a ten million (10,000,000) gallon increase in production over the previous year.Installation of new and replacement of old service connections has decreased somewhat,indicating a slowdown in construction.There were no new mains added to the system this year. Maintenance and repair of the department buildings,property and equipment has continued throughout the year. A new section of main was installed on Cunningham Bridge by department personnel to eliminate two dead ends and improve the flow in the area. The adoption of the new flood plan and water shed protection zoning contributed to a continued effort to protect our water supply.Your commis- sioners have also initiated an effort to curtail the use of salts and chlorides on the highways of the type that could contribute to the contamination of the water supply . The Board of Water Commissioners again would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Town Officials,Department Heads,Committees and Boards for their cooperation and support,and especially those who have worked so closely with us on the many details of the improvement project and to the Superintendent and Department personnel for their continued loyal support. Respectfully submitted, Board of Water Commissioners Alan S.Murphy ,Jr.,Chairman Rocco F.Laugelle David B.Buckley 107 REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT To The Honorable Board of Selectmen, I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31,1975.

Pumper-Tanker Headquarters Farrar Ford 1953 Chiefs Car Four door Sedan Headquarters Ford 1973 The above list of the various pieces of automotive equipment of the depart- ment giving their function,assignment and age is important because it points up the fact that much of the apparatus has reached or exceeds the normal average service life.Leading fire protection authorities place an average service life for a pumping engine at 1 5 -20 years;and 20 -25 years for a ladder truck, plus a reserve service of 5 years. During the year routine maintenance of all vehicles was carried out by the department mechanic-firefighter.Replacement of parts,tires,batteries,etc. were made as required.Braking systems were repaired on Engines 1 ,2 and 3, new linings,wheel cylinders,drums turned,and adjustments made.Clutches were rebuilt and replaced on Engines 1 and 2.Lubrication and oil changes, plugs,points and tune-ups were made on all units. It should be noted at this time that as the apparatus gets older the availability of parts becomes more of a problem and tne resulting time out of service in- creases.As an example,Engine 1 was out of service for 6 weeks because of the lack of available carburetor parts.The original manufacturer had discontinued production of the needed carburetor and repair parts.After an extensive search they were located in Illinois.The availability of parts for repair and maintenance in the future is of great concern. A program of systematic replacement of apparatus is necessary to keep the ages and purchases of equipment spaced out.This way the financial impact is spread out and the apparatus is of varied ages.The Capital Budget Committee has requested and received this information from the department.

The unfortunate death of a firefighter and the voluntary retirement of another coupled with these three men created five vacancies.The inability of the State Division of Civil Service to establish a list of qualified candidates,due to a class action suit,resulted in a serious manpower shortage.However,it now appears that this problem will be resolved in the coming months. The normal complement of men should be twenty-four officers and men, divided into four groups of six men each.These four groups would have an officer and five men assigned to them,and the men would be assigned to the three stations.With the authorized leaves granted ...sick leave,vacation,etc. these four groups operate most of the year with only five men.Hopefully this condition can be improved upon in the coming years,with additional personnel to strengthen the groups. The fact that the North Cohasset and Beechwood stations are operated with 109 one man on duty each shift results in approximately forty percent of the man- power being in the extremities of the town,working alone and able to provide only minimal service,not only to both those areas but to the entire town. There are two methods of correcting this problem.The first is to add sufficient manpower to have two men on duty,each shift,at both the Beechwood and North Cohasset stations.The second method would be to consolidate these stations thus doubling the work strength without the additional personnel. What effect the manning and operation of the ambulance by the fire department will have on the effectiveness and capability to provide basic fire protection remains to be seen at a later date. STATIONS and EQUIPMENT The department,after a thorough study of the advantages and disadvantages of larger diameter hose for water supply lines,decided to utilize three inch hose for this purpose.It was not necessary to purchase special fittings or equipment to operate it,and the area of the water way was deemed large enough to move an adequate volume of water from the source to the fire ground with a smaller loss of pressure due to friction . The condition of the two sub-stations has not changed since last year.They are still inadequate in size,condition and location to provide the type of quarters required for todays fire protection needs.Serious consideration must be given to this problem.In spite of the sentiment of the last annual Town Meeting,my personal judgement and the judgement of experts tells me that the consolidation of the two stations into one is the logical and correct solu- tion to the problem.Keeping in mind the action of the Town Meeting,I feel that some additional study is needed covering both sides of this coin.This study should include retaining two stations and consolidation,the costs involved,locations,construction costs,equipment costs and all other subjects related ...percolation tests of selected sites,environmental subjects and so forth. IN MEMORIAM Firefighter Paul A.Grassie Appointed March 1,1952 Died July 4,1975 A distinguished member of the department for 23 years,he served with honor and gave freely and cheerfully of his time and talent.

Respectfully submitted, Charles Piepenbrink Chief of Fire Department and Forest Fire Warden REPORT OF THE COHASSET CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Conservation Commission held several hearings during the year on applications under the Wetlands Protection Act,Chapter 131 ,Section 40. The Commission is pleased with the efforts of townspeople in complying with the requirements of the act and with the way in which local regulation under the act is proceeding generally. The major accomplishment for the Town in the conservation area during the year was the passage of an amendment to the Zoning By-Law on which both the Commission and the Planning Board joined efforts.This amendment, which was accompanied by a new map delineating the flood plains and water- sheds of the Town,will make it possible for the Commission,the Planning Board,and the Zoning Enforcement Officer to determine the status of a given area without the necessity of an on-site inspection.Planning and regulation should be enhanced by this development. The Commission has initiated a program of "flying"the Town from time to time to obtain aerial photos showing the condition of various "wet"areas and to identify violations under the Wetlands Protection Act.In addition,with the help of interested townspeople,the Commission is making an "inventory" of the Towns wetlands and open areas to identify parcels appropriate for acquisition.

The months of December and January kept the men of the Highway Depart- ment busy.For the first time in six years we had lots of snow and ice to contend with.Sanding and plowing and repairing equipment was the major part of our job. For many years we have had $30,000 for snow removal.It is no longer enough to see the town through a bad winter.The costs of materials,repairs and hired equipment have seen to this. Spring came early.The month of February the department installed street drainage on Beechwood Street and North Main Street.This was done because the town was discharging street drainage on private property.March and April will see the cleaning of catch basins and street drains.The street and private ways will be swept and the street signs and street markers will be painted and repaired.The department will help to complete the Government Island parking area.Also,the drainage on Pond Street will be started. July,August and September the department will spend 50%of the Mainte- nance Budget.Roadmixes and liquid asphalt will be put on streets and private ways throughout the town.When extra money is available sections of Type I Bituminous asphalt are laid.Sohier Street was the last section completed. The town will no longer enjoy funds made available by the state and county This was a great help to the department.In the future monies for projects will have to come from Special Articles. In the near future monies will have to be appropriated from James Brook. The 4'pipe from Smith Place to the parking area is in poor condition.This could present a problem. There are many areas with street drainage and drainage easements to be worked on this year.The department has got good equipment and it is maintained well. There are six men who perform the duties of the Highway Department. I have completed twenty years in the Highway Department and have enjoyed the privilege of serving you. In closing I thank the town officials and the men of the department who have assisted me during the year.

The Committee was able to review two capital items brought before the Special Town Meeting:the request for new gasoline storage tanks and the request from the Water Commissioners for a transfer from Free Cash to finance part of the new treatment facility. At the Regular Town Meeting in May 1976,the Capital Budget Committee will offer comments regarding capital items on the Warrant according to the definition of purpose and procedures stated below. PURPOSE The purpose of the Capital Budget Committee is to help the town's citizens determine a proper balance between the quality of life in Cohasset and the cost of providing such through taxation.The Committee feels it can promote this balance by improving the quality of capital spending information available to voters at town meetings.The intent is not to duplicate the efforts of other committees,but rather to make those efforts more effective in bringing pertinent information before the town. PROCEDURES To accomplish its stated purpose,the Committee will operate as follows: 1 . Through annual questionnaires solicit and consolidate capital spending plans for all town departments and committees covering a period of five (5)years. 2.Draw up a list of questions regarding each proposal to aid in classifying each proposal with a priority and to ascertain whether due diligence has been exercised in selecting the alternative being recommended at Town Meeting. 3.Meet with proponents of capital proposals to obtain and discuss answers to questions. 113 4.Assign priorities to all projects according to such criteria as number of citizens affected,impact of annual costs,public safety impact,urgency, special financing sources,etc. 5.Suggest ways to schedule capital items so that total capital spending is stabilized and top priorities are assured of funding. 6.Report findings to the Advisory Board in time to help them arrive at recommendations. 7.Present at the beginning of Town Meeting sessions an outline of the capital items in the Warrant,their priorities,and their impact on the tax rate. 8.During Town Meeting discussions make certain that relevant issues are covered adequately. 9.During the year between town meetings work with town departments and committees to encourage public hearings prior to Town Meeting and to encourage long range planning of capital requirements. The Committee members welcome comments from the town regarding this statement of purpose and procedures. Richard J.Avery Chairman ANNUAL REPORT OF GOVERNMENT ISLAND COMMITTEE The Government Island Committee in the past year has had the parking lot excavated,graveled and shaped in preparation for black top in mid spring.In addition the septiclines serving the town dwellings were replaced and an access road and drainage basin constructed.There is approximately 800 yards of loam stockpiled for removal when the area drys out.Parking of 46 automobiles was made available for the Sailing Club picnic and 54 automobiles for the St. Anthonys Church picnic.

The Project is a regionally organized year round operational effort to com- bat the nuisance and menace of mosquitoes.The City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree,Cohasset,Duxbury,Hingham,Hull,Marshfield,Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth,comprise the membership communities of the Project.These communities cover an area of 171 square miles,having a total population in excess of 250,000. The Project as established in 1953 and acts under the provisions of M.G.L., Chapter 252,Chapter 112,Acts of 1931,and later acts and amendments per- taining to mosquito control,greenhead fly control and salt marsh drainage maintenance. The object of the Project is to reduce the mosquito population to the ab- solute minimum by a safe,economical and efficient operation.In general,the mosquitoes of this area can be classed by the type of water area in which they might breed:woodland pools spring breeders,saltmarsh brackish water breeders, flood water breeders,rock pool breeders,polluted water and water container breeders.Sometimes,two or more of these species may be emerging at the same time.This is why constant checking,larvaciding and adulticiding must be done at all times during the summer season.All are important and must be carried out. Aerial Larvaciding —both helicopter and fixed wing aircraft —were con- tracted by the Project to larvacide the larger woodland swamps and pools.This effort is directed early in the season for the spring hatch mosquito. Prior to commencing this operation,ground crews circulated the areas of suspected breeding,noting larvae counts and mapping.On April 28th,at dawn, aerial larvaciding commenced and with the exception of a few windy mornings, continued until May 8th.A low volume application was made using both Abate and Baytex insecticides.The rates were no greater than the recommended 0.05 of a pound to the acre. The helicopter treated approximately 4440 acres while the fixed wing air- craft treated 6675 acres,a total of 1 1,1 15 larvacided acres.Many areas were post aerial checked and the larvae count was few or negative.The normal heavy rains of the spring did not occur,resulting in a very successful operation. Ground Larvaciding —is the insecticide treating of water,either breeding or apt to contain mosquito larvae and pupae.This prevents the emerging of these to adult mosquitoes. 115 Saltmarsh mosquitoes —There are three important species associated with the brackish water on the upper edges of the salt marsh.These areas are cata- logued and are routinely checked and larvacided at least four times a season, usually after the high course tides and heavy rains. Flood water mosquitoes breed in various size pools having periods of flood- ing and drying and larger ponds having fluctuating water levels.Such areas as these are also catalogued,checked and larvacided after rainy spells. House mosquitoes lay their eggs on still standing waters in any receptacle of water —from tin cans to neglected swimming pools.They prefer the proximity of the home,thus the name house mosquito. It is nearly impossible to larvacide all storm catch basins at time of breeding but do manage to check and treat thousands of these each season. Rock pool mosquitoes —the main source of this larvae may be found along the coastal beach area.These are checked and larvacided four or five times a season. The ground larvaciding and checking statistics for the past season:1579 man hours was spent in checking breeding sites,753 man hours was spent in actual larvaciding by back packs and power sprayers,2929 gallons of insecticide was used in treating approximately 3000 acres,594 man hours was spent in treating 22,014 storm catch basins,1373 gallons of insecticide was used.Rock pools were checked and treated on four separate occasions this past season treating approximately 2400 various size pools and using 500 gallons of insecticide. Adulticide is the space spraying effort to reduce the biting mosquito.This is very important and necessary effort of this Project's operation.It becomes impossible for a Project such as this with a limited capacity,to search out and larvacide every wet area that might be breeding at the same time.This is the reason adult mosquitoes do manage to emerge to seek their blood victim and is also the reason for most individual calls.Although the Project attempts not to let these calls control the operation,it has always been the policy that they must all be checked out for validity of conditions.In most instances,mosquitoes are present to be treated. Adulticiding statistics of the past season:2349 man hours was spent in adulticiding treating approximately 14,000 acres,13,999 gallons of insecticide was used,1390 calls were received at the Project's office from individuals, community officials,state officials and commissioners,1390 calls were answered,various actions were taken on all. Water management mosquito operation —By causing still water to move or drain,the mosquito is deprived of their necessary water habitat.The Project operates two marsh crawler tractors with attached backhoes.These are of special 116 design and are used primarily on coastal salt marshes,keeping the many miles of reclamation ditches and creeks flushing to allow fish in and to keep mosquitoes out.On occasions these tractors are put on fresh water swamps by request of certain town officials to alleviate mosquito breeding conditions in high com- plaint areas.Water management mosquito operation statistics for the past year: 1396 man hours spent on this operation opening 89,250 feet of marsh reclama- tion ditches,14,450 feet new ditches installed,2,195 feet of brooks and streams cleared of blocks and obstructions,21 ,500 feet of brush cutting and clearing was done for both tractor and personnel access. Encephalitis —a virus of which the mosquito is the main vector reached epidemic proportion in several parts of the country this past season.One fatal case was reported in the City of Quincy,abutting the Blue Hills Reservation. The case was first reported to the Project on August 15th as a confirmed eastern type virus.The Project commenced adult aerial spraying on August 18th to all critical areas of the Project,treating a total of 4,300 acres,until such time the State Department of Public Health commenced their air spray of 80,000 acres.Previous to the one Quincy case,there was no indication of eastern virus activity in mosquitoes taken from traps in this Project.The eastern and western virus strain of virus is always present in mosquitoes and birds of this area.The fact that no horse cases were reported might be attributed to the inoculation program of the past two years.Unfortunately ,no such inoculation is available for humans.The only precaution that can be taken at present is a good mosquito control program. Related operations —The Project has over the past several years become in- volved in other pest insect problems in some communities.Last season 6100 acres were aerial treated for control of greenhead flies.One brackish water pond is treated several times a season for two species of midges. On several occasions,as a result of requests from town officials,the Project put both ground and air equipment in operation to hold down a biting gnat problem in a marsh bound community.These operations are reported here because,although some are separately funded,it is time consuming to the Project's personnel and equipment. Insecticides Used —The Project last season used three insecticides only,Abate, Baytex and Malathion.They are properly labeled and registered for mosquito con- trol.Their formulation and application at no time were exceeded.Abate was used in larval control not exceeding .046 pounds per acre,Baytex for larval control not exceeding .046 pounds per acre and for adult control not exceeding .06 pounds per acre and Malathion for adult control not exceeding 0.2 pounds per acre.The Project experienced no pesticide accidents the past season.All personnel of the Project have been duly licensed by the Massachusetts Pesticide Board. The Project wishes to extend it's appreciation for the time and service rendered by it's Board of Commissioners and acknowledges all assistance given by state and municipal officials,also the many courtesies extended it by the many 117 individuals it encountered. Respectfully submitted, SIMONJ.VENEAU Superintendent South Shore Mosquito Control Project REPORT OF DRAINAGE COMMITTEE Committee was established and appointments made in accordance with Article 42 of the 1975 Town Meeting.First Meeting was held on October 29, 1975,for organizational purposes.Regular meetings are held at 8:00 p.m.on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Town Hall.Article 23 of the 1975 Town Meeting as amended required an engineering study of the drainage situation in the vicinity of Atlantic Ave .and Beach Street intersection .This matter was referred to the Drainage Committee who awarded a contract for a preliminary engineering study.The result of the study will determine if a final engineering design of the drainage system for the area is technically and economically war- ranted based upon engineering consideration and the total estimated construc- tion costs.Other existing drainage problems were referred to the Committee by the Selectmen and are under study. William J.Montuori,Chairman Robert Appleyard,Secretary Paul Colletti REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TREE &PARK COMMISSIONERS -1975 This year the Tree &Park Department lost a long time employee, Lawrence C.Figueiredo.He will be greatly missed. The nursery,started this year at Wheelwright Park,is progressing well.The planting program of new trees throughout the Town has been increased and will continue.It was the concensus of several interested citizens to replace the Elms on the common,which are dying at a fast rate,with Red Oaks,because of their resistance to weather and disease in this area. Special thanks to the men of this department and other departments,and to the Council of Garden Clubs for their cooperative assistance and contributions. Respectfully submitted, Peter G.Laugelle Tree &Park Superintendent 118 REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR The following is a report for the Building Department for the year 1975.

All reported violations of the Zoning By-Law were investigated and appropri- ate action taken. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Departments for their cooperation and assistance for the past year. Respectfully submitted, James A.Litchfield Building Inspector Zoning Officer REPORT OF THE COHASSET HISTORIC COMMISSION The first objective of the Cohasset Historic Commission is nearing comple- tion.With the help of many people the inventory of the historic assets of the town is being compiled and will be registered with the Massachusetts Historic Commission.This project has been a large undertaking and we appreciate the volunteer help we have received. Each member of the Commission has taken the responsibility for a major project to be started and hopefully completed this coming year.The following goals will be our objectives for 1976.A study committee for protecting the Common as a Historic District;the identification on a master map to be placed at the harbor showing landmarks of the old boat yards and wharves;a booklet guide concerning the restoration of antique homes. Our meetings are open to the public and we encourage participation by interested citizens.Our primary goal is to preserve the charm and historic flavor of the town of Cohasset.

The agency is certified by Medicare and provides nursing care and physical therapy to all citizens of Cohasset on a part-time basis.The services include all types of nursing treatment,under written orders of the patients'physician;in- struction to the patient and family about medications,diets,home care and physical therapy.Fees for these services are frequently covered by Medicare, Medicaid and insurance.When this is not the case,adjustments are made so that no one is denied necessary care because of inability to pay.Receipts from the Consignment Shop and contributions to the League close the gap between ex- penses and income . The League also sponsors educational and screening programs.In 1975 these included a breast detection clinic,to which Drs.Monsees and Smith gave their services;a public lecture on breast cancer and its treatment by Dr.Messer;and a series of six HEALTHY seminars for senior citizens. The Family Service division of the Social Service League has continued to offer individual,marital and family casework counseling for any resident of Cohasset regardless of ability to pay.The agency employs one part-time case- worker and a second caseworker who conducts group therapy.Family Service is primarily funded by proceeds from the Consignment Shop.

The Cohasset Social Service League provides the nursing service for the Board of Health and all residents are covered for health services.The Senior Health Clinics have doubled in attendance and much appreciated by those attending.With the advent of planned parenthood the age range of our Keep Well Clinic has changed —fewer children at the Well Child —more attendance at the Senior clinics. It was my pleasure to have worked this year with Mr.Kevin O'Brien and the Board of Health.They are most anxious to see that the health needs of the townspeople are met. Once again Mrs.Loud and myself are indebted to the Water,Police and Road departments for their cooperation and help. We wish for Cohasset continued good health. Elizabeth G.Staples,R.N. 127 REPORT OF THE HARBOR DEPARTMENT To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Cohasset: Submitted herewith is the Harbor Master's annual report for the fiscal year 1974-1975. Activity on the harbor is getting greater and greater each year.It doesn't seem as though the gas situation or the economy has had much effect on the boating public.There is more demand for mooring space and more people want to go to larger boats.It is of the utmost importance that people adhere to the harbor regulations along these lines in order for us to have a more efficient and better utilized harbor. The department was fortunate to have the services of two CETA workers this past summer.One was on a full time basis and the other was a part time secretary. Both performed their duties efficiently and their work was much appreciated. With the help of the Explorer Scouts assigned to Night Patrol,the department was able to show an 18%decrease in vandalism and theft.These boys did this work on a volunteer basis and did a splendid job.It proves that the more man hours of coverage you can have,the better the results.I must say I have seen these boys perform in other areas in the town and they really deserve the encouragement and support of all concerned.They should be commended for a job well done. In the area of capital outlay,the following projects were completed: A new float was built for Government Island. The Parker Avenue ramp was resurfaced. A 2"pump was purchased for emergency pumping. A 25 HP motor was purchased for the work boat. It was hoped that the rebuilding of Government Island Pier would be com- pleted at this time,but due to the fact that there were not enough funds appro- priated this was not possible.The pier is in bad shape and must be attended to soon.There will be an article in the warrant for enough money to do this job. The Corps of Army Engineers was called on to make a survey of the harbor for maintenance dredging.It was their recommendation that it was not needed at this time.After reviewing the charts forwarded to the town,there is grave doubt in my mind as to their accuracy.I am communicating with the Corps at this time to have another survey made. Due to the vast number of complaints received by the department last year, all town floats and piers are to be posted for their proper use.Chapter 90B of the Marine and Recreational Vehicles,as well as all town bylaws and mooring regula- tions are to be strictly enforced.It is hoped that all boat owners will familiarize 128 themselves with these laws and abide by them for the safety and consideration of others. Respectfully submitted, Harry H.Ritter Harbor Master REPORT OF THE ROUTE 228 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION STUDY COMMITTEE The Committee's membership represents the towns of Cohasset,Hingham, Hull,Norwell,Rockland,Scituate and Weymouth.Representatives of the Town of Hingham are:Joseph F.Daley,Jr.,Chairman;Mrs.Frank Mangione,Secretary; Joseph Hegarty;Warren Knapp;William Langrill;William Phillips;David M. Alschuler;and Phillip Troullos. During 1975 the Committee worked with the Central Transportation Planning Staff in an attempt to identify the transportation problems in our area,and to find solutions to these problems. The Central Transportation Planning Staff was assigned to assist the Committee, by the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works.The Staff was established by mutual agreement of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council,Massachusetts Department of Public Works,Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority,M.B.T.A.Advisory Board and the Executive Office of Transportation. The C.T.P.S.is designed to act as a technical resource to state and regional agencies, local governments and other groups involved in transportation. The Central Transportation Planning Staff has been meeting with the Route 228 Committee and various boards,committees and commissions in the seven towns. In September of 1975 the Staff submitted a draft of a report entitled: "Transportation Issues in the Route 228 Area".The report identifies and evaluates transportation related issues in the area comprising the seven towns represented by the Committee.Contained in the report are findings and conclu- sions relative to:growth and development patterns,environmental issues,travel patterns,bus service,Greenbush right-of-way and the commuter boat.Two sec- tions are yet to be completed.These are ;recreational traffic and recommendations. Several meetings with the C.T.P.S.will be required before the production of a final document is realized. During the months of October,November and December the Committee was actively involved in the commuter boat experiment conducted by the South Shore Chamber of Commerce,Massachusetts Port Authority,Mr.Richard Nakashian of 129 Bay State-Spray and Provincetown Steamship Co.and Mr.William Spence of Massachusetts Bay lines.The Committee sponsored a newspaper ad in the local papers encouraging people to use the boat and with the cooperation of the Hingharr School Committee provided a free bus connection with the boat for two weeks in December. Although the experiment did not meet expectations it did indicate that with more frequent service the commuter boat could be successful.The Committee will continue its work in this area. The concern,cooperation and efforts of everyone involved in the experiment is deeply appreciated.We are especially grateful to those people who used the boat for transportation.Mr.Nakashian and Mr.Spence are to be highly com- mended for their time and effort and personal financial risk in making the ex- periment possible. The Committee is divided into three sub-committees:Road,Mrs.Katherine E.Cranton of Norwell and Mr.Joseph F.Daley,Jr.of Hingham,Co-Chairmen; Public Transportation,Mr.Warren Knapp of Hingham,Chairman and Existing Route 228,Mrs.Susan Mangione of Hingham,Chairwoman. The Committee in 1973 requested each town to contribute $500.00 to defray expenses.To date the towns of Rockland,Weymouth and Cohasset have not responded.Mr.Thomas Izbicki of Weymouth is the Committee's Treasurer. The Committee opposed House Bill 1439 which proposed the construction of a road from Route 3 to the towns of Scituate and Cohasset.In opposing this Bill the committee stated that,before any concrete proposals are made,the investigatory study being conducted by the Central Transportation Planning Staff should be completed. On May 28,1975 the Chairman,Mr.Joseph F.Daley,Jr.,testified at a hearing on the proposed South Quincy M.B.T.A.station.A copy of the Committee's vote of November 1974,supporting a station in the vicinity of Routes 128 and 3,was submitted. Meeting dates of the Committee will be published in the newspapers.The meetings are open and participation by all residents of the towns is encouraged. All individuals,civic groups,organizations and Town Officials are urged to present their comments,suggestions and recommendations. Respectfully submitted, Joseph F.Daley,Jr., Chairman 130 REPORT OF THE COHASSET DRUG EDUCATION COMMITTEE (C.D.E.C.) The Cohasset Drug Education Committee was established in 1970 as a citizen-initiated response to the crisis of drug abuse in our community.While there have been numerous changes in the nature of the programs supported by the committee,all have been related in some way to alleviating the human suffering resulting from drug abuse.A volunteer drop in center was gradually turned into The City,which since 1973 has been professionally staffed,and has provided counseling and guidance for Cohasset's young people .As the years have passed,the needs for counseling and socialization have changed considerably;fewer of the clients now have specific drug abuse problems (though alcohol abuse has created a new set of problems)and more are con- cerned with family relationships,peer group acceptance,identity,career plan- ning,and the use of leisure time.Mel Lewis,as Director of the program,has done an outstanding job in working toward cooperation of The City's program with school personnel and guidance programs.The Drug Education Committee fully supports the idea of shared programs and full cooperation among all town agencies dealing with youth,and has participated during the past year in discus- sions with the Recreation Commission and other interested public and volunteer agencies,with the hope of providing Cohasset's young people with the finest possible program of leisure time use. The community's support of the drug education program illustrates the good things which can be achieved through cooperation of local efforts and resources with state programs.The past year one state grant (from the Division of Drug Rehabilitation of the Department of Mental Health)provided for the employ- ment of an Outreach Worker,John Henderson.A federal grant (channelled through the state)provided for the youth agriculture program Operation Green- power which operated last summer.In addition,private fundraising by the C.D.E.C.has meant that a program costing more than $25,000 has been pro- vided at a cost of less than $15,000 to the town. The Cohasset Drug Education Committee gratefully commends all of those who have provided support of its diverse programs and projects.The town's (and the nation's)best investment in the future lies in the sound development of its young people;the cooperative effort represented by C.D.E.C.'s program shows what can be done to meet even the most awesome problems when people who care work together.On behalf of persons served by our programs,thank you.

Preliminary approval of this submittal was received in December,1975. Such approval,however,does not indicate any immediate construction pro- gram for the community.The format for such activity essentially rests in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendment of 1972,referred to as Public Law 92-500.This law has increased the complexity of the traditional approach to local solutions for wastewater treatment.Adherence to this law and its subse- quent evolution of rules and regulations has resulted in a rather lethargic pace of program implementation.In essence a community dying for Federal and State financial assistance in construction must comply with various requirements in the development of a municipal wastewater treatment program.Fundamentally,a town must proceed through three steps before actual construction is undertaken: Step I The preparation of a plan of action involving alternates,and related considerations such as environmental assessment of treatment facility location,adequacy of any existing sewer system,cost effectiveness of project,and local development of a satisfactory sewer use ordinance. Step II The development of detailed plans and specifications for the waste- water treatment facility,sewer system,and appurtenant structures. Step III The undertaking of a construction program to implement Step II. The Board of Sewer Commissioners have partially waded through Step I,with the environmental assessment and determination of the adequacy of the existing sewer system.Considerable time and effort remain to be expended before the program is in a finalized state for presentation to the Town for its approval. The Board of Sewer Commissioners look forward to continued support in its attempt to develop a program suitable for meeting the Town's needs,which have long been outstanding. Respectfully submitted, David B.Buckley,Chairman Rocco F.Laugelle,Clerk Alan S.Murphy,Jr. 132 SCHOOL COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT -1975 This past year has been a stimulating one of both turmoil and change.In addition to our bi-monthly meetings,the Committee met numerous nights a week,plus weekends,since the majority vote in November,1974,was not to rehire James Gray,Superintendent of Schools.We were busy screening over 200 applications and conducting personal interviews and visiting the towns and school systems of the top candidates. 1975 January:The Urban Discovery Project had been initiated in Cohasset under Chapter 636 to develop comprehensive part-time educational programs between suburb and city. The community was saddened by the sudden death of Ed Sandberg,Head Custodian of the Deer Hill School on January 29,1975. February:We initiated our search for a new Superintendent.Qualifications and personal qualities were stipulated.It was voted that the School Committee be solely responsible for screening and selecting the Superintendent. March:In an ongoing administrative reorganization,the Committee abolished the position of John Boynton,Dean of Faculty,at the Junior High and also did not rehire Donald Ford,Principal of the Deer Hill School. Alice Daunt retired after many years of outstanding service to the school. April:The proposal of move-up was accepted with changes and modifications made by the Committee. May:Dr.John F.Maloney was selected by the Committee to fill the position of Superintendent of Cohasset Schools.Dr.Maloney was Superintendent of Schools in Oxford,Massachusetts for the past six years.He is a graduate of Boston College where he received a Bachelor of Science degree;a Masters degree in Education from Bridgewater State Teachers College;a sixth year diploma in Education from the University of Connecticut.He received his doctorate in Educational Admin- istration from Nova University in Florida. The 1975-1976 school budget of $2,999,289,was accepted. The meeting of May 12th began the reorganization of the School Committee, welcoming in two new members,Anne Baird and Frank England. The arbitrator's ruling returned Richard Streeter to the school system as Principal of the High School.The decision of the previous board was not to appeal. June:A communication was received from the Labor Relations Commission testifying to the election held by the Department of Labor Relations.The cafe- teria employees voted negatively and the secretaries voted affirmatively to join the C.T.A.(Cohasset Teachers'Association). 133 July:Dr.John Maloney came aboard officially as our new Superintendent. The METCO contract for 1975-1976 school year was approved. The Committee approved the Superior Court final judgment and authorized the payment of $25,000.00 to Richard Streeter. August:Through a series of summer workshops,definitive goals and objectives were established for the school year by the Committee and Superintendent, namely: 1 . Communications 2.Attitudes 3.Discipline 4.Curriculum In considering the release day proposal,the Committee's decision was to reduce the number of release days from 35 in 1974-1975 to 10 in 1975-1976 school year. September:School opened with 1917 children in grades K-12. Kenneth Ekberg was selected as Principal of the Deer Hill School and reported for work on October 13. October:We accepted the resignation of Phillip Jutras,Curriculum Coordinator. November:Betty Enders,Attendance Clerk at the High School,retired after many years. A reception was held for the past six School Committee Members and each was presented with a plaque for his dedicated service to the Community. The Committee was presented with statistics involving projected enrollment figures for the 1976-1977 school year.The largest class is the sixth grade with 182 pupils.In September of 1976,this class will move into the Junior High and with the projected kindergarten enrollment of 100,this means that the enrollment from K-6 will decrease by approximately 82 students.These figures indicate that some grade reorganization will take place. Teacher negotiations were carried on all through the past year and a contract was not signed until November. December:Received first draft of preliminary 1976-1977 school year budget. I should like to express the Committee's gratefulness to our Superintendent, Dr.John Maloney.Within six short months,he has established harmonious personal relationships with the students,faculty and parents in bringing this town closer together. 134 I should also like to thank the Communication Councils for their fine pro- grams and assistance at open houses and receptions,thereby helping to keep communications open.

Over the past five or six years,the Cohasset Schools have experienced a great deal of emotional turmoil.Accordingly,as a new superintendent,employed July 1 ,1975,1 have adopted the theme "Let's put it together."Because this beautiful community contains an abundance of intelligent people,we can trans- form this town and this school system into anything we desire.There's no question the potential for one of the finest school systems in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts exists here in Cohasset.Rather than broadcast our weaknesses, better we,as a community and a school department,join together and extol our strengths while at the same time improve those areas which we adjudge as need- ing improvement.To recognize a problem area is simple;to find a workable solution is often difficult and frustrating at best.Let us all dedicate ourselves to becoming supportive boosters of our community and our schools. Any organization that has experienced difficult times needs to establish direction and priorities.Fortunately,the School Committee recognized this need and after a series of summer workshops established four goals for the 1975- 1976 school year.The goals are as follows:improvement of communications, improvement of curriculum,improvement of the overall discipline and attendance in the school system,and,lastly,an upgrading of the attitude and morale of the student body and staff.Happily,I can report that we have made much progress in the accomplishment of these goals.You will note that several of them must be constantly under review and can never be considered as finally fulfilled. Twelve of our most notable accomplishments include: 1 . Reorganized the administrative structure of the school department to include a director of curriculum and instruction. 2.Hired a building principal for the Deer Hill School. 3.Finalized a contract with the Cohasset Teachers'Association after a year's negotiations. 4.Completed policy guidelines for school nurses,aides,technicians and transportation personnel. 5.Completed contract negotiations for two years with cafeteria personnel. 6.Submitted several educational projects for full funding by the federal government,e.g.career education,audio-visual and media,elementary tutoring program. 7.Continued participation in the METCO project and expended METCO funds for various non-budgeted school needs. 136 8.Conducted curriculum review and in-service training programs for staff in several academic disciplines,e.g.elementary reading,special education, legal rights of teachers and students. 9.Completed preliminary budget for the 1976-1977 school year. 10.Established regular meetings with communication councils from individual schools. 1 1 . Joined a special needs collaborative,Chapter 766,with Hingham,Hull, Scituate,Weymouth,Quincy and Braintree. 12.Completed extensive maintenance and renovation work in all our school buildings. Although much has been accomplished,v/e plan to spend a considerable amount of time working in the area of program and curriculum improvement next year.We are anxious to provide the children of Cohasset a high quality education program,together with cost-effective management.This task will not be easy,since we all know that inflation has eroded the purchasing power of the school department's budget as well as the homeowners'. My family and I wish to express our appreciation to the members of the community,School Committee,Cohasset Teachers'Association,non-teaching personnel,members of the school communication councils and municipal em- ployees for the warm reception and courtesies you have shown us.You certainly have helped to make our transition into the Cohasset community an enjoyable experience.

In contrast,enrollment from other member towns is as follows: Norwell 48,Hanover 59,Abington 75,Scituate 76,Rockland 98 for a total of 361 including 6 girls.It should be noted,however,that Cohasset has a stronger representation in the Alternative Program.Students attend their own school for morning sessions and are transported to Vo-Tech 4 days per week for vocational training from 2:30 to 4:30 P.M.Next year courses will be available in Auto Re- pair,Auto Body,Combination Welding,Metal Fabrication,Carpentry,and Machine Operator. Our Assistant Director,Mr.Warren Anderson,was given additional duties to provide consultation with member towns in the matters of occupational educa- tion and cases involving Chapter 766 Special Needs.Mr.Leonard Cody was ad- vanced to Director of Guidance and takes up Mr.Anderson's job placement duties while Russell DeCoste was transferred from Social Studies to Guidance Counselor and interviewing of applicants. Negotiations with the teachers began in early February and reached an im- passe in late March.No meetings were held until mid-August when with the aid of State Mediator,Brendon Dalton,a two year agreement was reached.Salaries increased 8%for this year and 6%effective Sept.1,1976.The basic schedule now in effect is as follows: Academic Vocational BS Cert BS+15 C +30 Masters C +60 Masters +15 C +90 Masters +30 C +BS Step I to Step II 9,115 15,496 9,428 15,809 9,771 16,151 10,084 16,465 10,426 16,807 The moratorium on State aid for new school buildings has forced the Com- mittee to plan in phases toward its goal to double the enrollment.Phase I,a "mini"addition for the present enrollment,would relieve overcrowding and enable compliance with the minimum requirements of Chapter 622 (equal oppor- tunity law)and Chapter 766 (special education law).This addition would pro- vide 4 teaching stations,an exercise room,and shower and locker rooms for girls. In spite of a high rate of unemployment,all of the 1975 graduates desiring work were placed in jobs which involved their training. 142 Cohasset graduates were: Paul E.Figueiredo Automotive William R.Koed Drafting Respectfully submitted, Sumner Smith,Jr. Chairman 1975 REPORT OF SCHOOL FACILITIES COMMITTEE Under Article 33,the Annual Town Meeting voted to continue this committee, which was established under Article 42 of the 1960 Annual Meeting.The vote clarified the areas to be considered by the Committee,specified its relationship with the School Committee and fixed set terms of appointment for present and future members (See actual vote in Town Clerk's Report). In June the Committee voted to terminate planning for a new school (in abeyance since February 1973)and voted to cancel the contract with the archi- tect,Earl R.Flansburgh and Associates of Cambridge.The indeflniteness of ex- panding the sewer system,a contracting elementary age population,and adverse economic conditions were the principle reasons for abolishing this project.The Committee,never the less,feels the original need still exists for improved elemen- tary facilities to permit a higher quality of education. As the unexpended balance of funds for preliminary plans were no longer needed,the Selectmen were instructed to close out the two accounts,a total of $16,732.80.The architect was paid $10,691.56.The Committee regrets there is no tangible return. Respectfully submitted, Sumner Smith,Jr. Chairman 143 SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT TREASURERS REPORT Fiscal Year July 1 ,1974 to June 30,1975 In accordance with Section XII of the South Shore Regional School District Agreement effective January 6,1960,1 submit herewith details of the fiscal year July 1 ,1974 thru June 30,1975 financial transactions of the School District.

The playground program was very successful.We had the use of the pool at the Cohasset Swim Center for one hour a day three days a week.The children attended all eight presentations of the children's shows at the South Shore Music Circus.Three trips were taken,one to the Franklin Park Zoo,one to King's Castleland and one to the Science Museum.The tennis and basketball programs went very well. Ice skating at Lily Pond,Cushing Road and Beechwood Street ponds was enjoyed by many children and grown-ups.

The Cohasset clam flats have been closed since 1971,principally because of over-harvesting by both commercial and home diggers. While there may have been some question of pollution in the past,particu- larly in the Little Harbor area,most of the problems have been corrected and this seems no longer an important factor. The fact is,however,that in spite of a ban on digging for the last five years, the clam population has not increased.The small budget of this department will not permit a major re-seeding effort.We have,however,been fortunate in enlisting the financial assistance of the Conservation Commission in this pro- gram.The Town is particularly indebted to Richard Burton,a marine biologist, associated with Project Dominion of Bridgewater,Mass.who has given gener- ously of his time and talent in our re-seeding effort.At this time it is not possible to evaluate the results of his work,but we are hopeful that it will produce results and that in time the residents of Cohasset may once again enjoy the taking of shellfish from local areas for home consumption. The interest and cooperation of the Board of Selectmen in this effort is very much appreciated. Respectfully submitted, Rocco Rosano Shellfish Warden 146 REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT To the Board of Selectmen and the citizens: Submitted here is my annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30,1975.

In January 1974 the Chairman attended a two day conference at University of Massachusetts,Amherst.The conference consisted mainly of a series of seminars presented by members of the State Commission staff and outside ex- perts.These seminars covered a wide range of subjects and outlined countless projects which communities might undertake in the name of the Bicentennial. Among the subjects were:preservation and restoration (of old records and documents,buildings ,historic sites,cemeteries);conservation and recreation projects;art and cultural programs;and also the public health,safety,and traffic problems which might arise as a result of an expected tourist influx to Massachusetts in 1975 and 1976. On January 23,1974 the Chairman met with the Selectmen to present recommendations which included the appointment of a seven member Bicen- tennial Commission with specific representation from the Conservation and Recreation Commissions,the School Committee,and the Cohasset Historical Society.It was also recommended that an Historical Commission be established by the Town through an article in the Town Meeting. Following its appointment and organization the new Commission held a series of informal discussions.A review of all of the events of the town's 200th birthday celebration of 1970 was made to see if any might be repeated.It was determined that significant involvement of the town's youth was highly desir- able ,and that private funding of Bicentennial programs was probably going to be needed. Subsequently the Cohasset Historical Society presented a proposal for the acquisition and restoration of the Caleb Lothrop House at 17 Summer Street as a center for historical activities in the community,to include a museum, library,archive,and research facility for local history students.Feeling that this provided a program in which a large number of citizens could become in- volved,and that it would create a permanent and much needed historical facility the Commission sanctioned this project as a major Bicentennial effort. A meeting was held with the Cohasset Village and Harbor Association for an exchange of ideas and this group has since published a walking tour map of the area for use by visitors. Meanwhile,Mr.Francis Hagerty presented an idea for teaching young people some of the old time crafts and having them demonstrate these skills in an exhibition to be held during the Art Festival in the summer of 1976.This pro- gram was accepted with enthusiasm by the Commission and Mr.Hagerty was made an associate member in order to direct the project.This has since devel- 197 oped into a full scale school study program in which students of the Cohasset Schools from elementary through high school are taking an in-depth look at people who lived in our community in the latter half of the 18th century.It will culminate in a series of displays and demonstrations on Cohasset Common from June 30 through July 5,1976.The community is much indebted to Mr. Hagerty for this concept and for the countless hours of his time which have been devoted to it. In the Fall of 1975 a re-enactment of the town's first Town Meeting in 1770 was staged in the First Parish Meeting House under joint sponsorship of the First Parish and the Historical Society.This was a repeat of a play written by Mrs.Helen Ketcham for the 1970 town celebration. Additional programs under consideration are a repeat of the Blessing of the Fleet ceremony which was performed for the first time in 1970,and also an ecumenical church service including a program of special music. The Community Garden Club is planning a Bicentennial House Tour in the early Spring of 1976. The Commission is currently preparing an application for Federal recognition under the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA)since projects now underway satisfy the criteria for this program. Further ideas to make Cohasset's participation in this celebration more memorable and meaningful are ernestly solicited,and individuals or organized groups who have suggestions should contact any member of the Commission.
