Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE M.GRASSIE,CHAIRMAN 61 MOSQUITO CONTROL,TOWN OF COHASSET To the Citizens within the Project's control: Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities for the year December 1,1970 to November 30,1971. The Project is a year round cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree,Cohasset,Duxbury,Hingham,Hull,Marshfield, Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth,covering a total area of 172 square miles, serving 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 three recommended approaches 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 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 extent.Eliminate one, two,or all these conditions,termed "source reduction or water management" and mosquitoes would also be eliminated to the same degree. The project operates two crawler tractor backhoe trenchers especially adapted to work upon coastal salt marshes;this is where .the greater amount of its mosquito problems would be. 62 Along these lines of source reduction this project accomplished the following in this past year: 18,400 cu.ft.new ditch excavated 433,125 cu.ft.ditches reclaimed 8,470 feet of brook and stream cleaning 78,500 sq.ft.of brushing to faciHtate access to work and treat these breading areas. Reduction at the Source: Mosquitoes,while in their period of water development (larvae and pupae)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 Hmits to a great extent the harmful effects on other aquatic and marsh Hfe with such low dosages. Several methods are employed by the project to mosquito larvacide;aircraft, 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 inaccessible areas,also power sprayers mounted on Jeep model vehicles are used to treat roadside and storm drain catchbasins. All areas larvacided are either actually breeding mosquitoes at the time of apphcation or are known to be sure breeding areas at future dates. Accomplished by this project by reducing at the source in this past year, 4,680 acres were lavacided by helicopter,5,600 acres were larvacided by fixed wing aircraft,1 ,893 gallons of insecticide were used to larvacide 1 ,893 acres by various means of ground equipment,2,161.2 gallons of insecticide were used to larvacide 32,275 basins.1,160.5 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 insecticidal 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 back pack mist blower was used.This accomplishes the same results as the larger machine.6,107.5 gallons of insecticide were applied to approximately 6,107.5 acres by both mounted and back pack mist blowers. 63 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 of adulticiding.This adulticide reduction is now being realized in this project. Eastern Equine Encephalitis: This past season was just one incident of Eastern Equine Encephalitis reported to this project.This was a nonconfirmed horse case.This case was not in this project.However,Eastern Equine Encephalitis,a mosquito borne virus disease is always a threat in this southeastern section of Massachusetts. The insecticides used in this project's operation were: 1.Abate,the main mosquito larvacide,at .031 to .062 pound actual to the acre 2.Baytex (Fenthion)larvacide in storm catchbasins and other high organic or brackish waters,at .015 to .062 pounds actual to the acre 3.Malathion,main mosquito adulticide at 0.2 to 0.5 pounds actual to the acre These materials are all registered for mosquito control use in the Commonwealth.Their recommendation rates and limits of application are abided by implicitly and not often are the maximum recommended limits even used. The Project wishes to acknowledge all assistance received from the officials and departments of the communities it serves and give notice that it shall always remain ready with its personnel and equipt to continue to serve these wherever and whenever it is called upon. 1971 REPORT SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT This school year marked a turning point in the life of the South Shore Vocational Technical High School.A decade has passed,our bond on the building has been fully paid and the school has reached its pupil capacity. Therefore,starting September 1971,no pupils out of district will be accepted. However,boys already in school will be allowed to complete studies and graduate.The district includes Abington,Cohasset,Hanover,Norwell,Rockland and Scituate. Studies are underway for expansion of school building spaces,addition of new technical and vocational departments and co-educational school. 64 High School students today are looking for relevance in education so that tomorrow when job hunting they wiM have skills and training to offer the employer. The South Shore Natural Science Center on Jacobs Lane in Norwell constructed by the carpentry department has been wired by the electrical department.Interior finish and cabinet work is being completed in the school carpentry shop.This Roayl Barry Wills Cape Cod styled building offers the community recreation with education.Our school is proud to have had such an opportunity to serve the youth of the community. Another project by the carpentry department is a two story English Tudor home being built on Captain Vinal Way in Norwell. A new Landis universal grinding machine has been added to the machine shop allowing the grinding of internal and external diameters to close tolerances.All shops are keeping up to date in materials,processes and instruction so all work taught is relevant to todays industrial practices and needs. In the academic subjects,emphasis is placed on reading and mathematical skills.Remedial work is provided when necessary.A remedial reading instructor will be added next year. Among the new activities started this year,are a school newspaper and opportunities to attend legitmate theater in Boston. Health and personal hygiene have been made important in the science field so our youth can resist the damaging effects of using drugs,alcohol and tobacco. The entire student body is attending a medical self-help program prepared by civil defense.Everybody learns mouth to mouth resuscitation using a life size manikin. In sports,hockey has been added to baseball,soccer and basketball in the interscholastic program.An active intramural program in bowling and weightlifting is in progress with archery,golf,flycasting and table tennis to be introduced later in the season. Through the years,the school has had Frederick J.Teed as Superintendent-Director.We are proud of his dedication,his accomphshments, his respect for the students and faculty and their respect for him.This high school like all others is going through a period of restlessness and change but Mr. Teed keeps the Vo Tech ship on an even keel. Out of a total enrollment of 341 boys,313 are from the six town district and 28 are from non-district towns.As usual,Cohasset is on the bottom of the totem pole with but 12 students attending. 65 We are proud of our two Cohasset boys,Allen C.Lehr of N.Main St.,and James R.Towle of So.Main St.,who are in the 1971 Graduating Class. Presently completing my third term as the Cohasset representative,I regret that business matters prohibit my seeking re-election.It has been a most interesting and fascinating experience and I hope I have been able to contribute a small measure to the success of this fine educational faciHty.

A total of one hundred and forty (140)weighting and/or measuring devices have been tested and sealed.Two (2)measuring devices were condemned. The amount of two hundred and three dollars and seventy-five cents ($203.75)for sealing fees was collected and paid to the Town Treasurer, Cohasset,Massachusetts. Respectfully Submitted, BENJAMIN F.CURLEY,JR. Sealer of Weights and Measures 67 REPORT OF THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT To the Board of Selectmen: The Building Department is pleased to submit the following Report of Activities for the period of January 1 through December 31,1971: This Department issued 108 Building Permits and renewed 3 Building Permits for various structures and alterations and collected $2086.80 in fees which were paid to the Town Treasurer.The estimated total cost of all projects on which Building Permits were issued is $973,850.00.Of the Building Permits issued in 1971,20 were for new single family residences.Field inspections were made as required. All reported violations of the Zoning By-Law were investigated and appropriate action taken as required. I would like to express my thanks to the personnel of all Town Departments for the considerable assistance and cooperation given me during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Maurice H.O'Donnell Building Inspector Zoning Officer REPORT OF THE COHASSET DRUG EDUCATION COMMITTEE (C.D.E.C.) In July,1970,the Selectmen appointed a seven member Drug Education Committee to study and to make recommendations for drug abuse education and prevention.It was made an official Committee at the March,1971 Town Meeting. The Committee talked with principals and teachers of the schools,lawyers, clergy,physicians and the Cohasset police.Existence of a definite and increasing abuse of drugs in our town was confirmed by interviews with current and graduated students of the High School. The Cohasset High School student council appointed a committee of interested students (Addinon)who met with C.D.E.C.throughout the year. Studies were made of drug education and prevention programs in other communities.Evaluation of the personnel and programs of three different 68 para-professional groups interested in supplying assistance in drug abuse was made.Following this survey,the C.D.E.C.and Addinon met with the School Committee on two occasions and recommended a peer-counselling program at the High School to be developed by Project Reach of Boston.This program was approved by the School Committee,immediately implemented by the school administration and completed by thirty-five students in an eight week course. These students are established under the title of Project TOUCH. The second program initiated by the C.D.E.C.was a crisis and informational "Hot Line"staffed by Project Turnabout in Hull (Telephone No.925-4776, 4777).This has been operating for seven months and given assistance to 336 Cohasset famihes. C.D.E.C.formed from its members T.O.D.,Inc.(Turn Off Drugs),a charitable non-profit corporation,in December,1970.This corporation may accept tax deductible contributions for programs to combat drug dependency and related problems. An educational booklet,"Drug abuse:The Chemical Cop-Out"donated by Blue Shield,was mailed to the homes of Cohasset.Enclosed were reports of C.D.E.C,Addinon (Student Council Committee),and TOUCH (Trained Peer Counseling group for students).Contributions for T.O.D.,Inc.were also solicited. C.D.E.C.and Addinon held two open meetings at the High School.At the second meeting,a program was offered for adult education and counselling in drug abuse.This program was to be carried out by Project reach of Boston.This program has resulted in an active,well-informed group of adults,called SUPPORT,working in our town,assisting those involved in drugs as well as their famihes. During the summer vacation,assistance was given by C.D.E.C,to a teenage counselling and informational center operated by Project TOUCH.This "Barn" was donated by Bob Fesler,Jr.At the end of the summer,two young adults were hired by Project TOUCH to assist in their work.Their employment was continued by SUPPORT in September. The Hot Line and the mailing of the booklet was funded by the town.All other expenses have been supported by private donations and the generous support of the churches of Cohasset. During the past several months it appears that drug abuse is becoming an accepted fact of life.We must reverse this situation.It is important that the 69 community at all ages unite and give support to our youth so that their future will not be ruined. Dr.A.David McGugan Mrs.Austin F.OToole .Dr.Roger A.Pompeo Mr.J.Blake Thaxter,Jr. Mr.Robert M.Thompson Mrs.Edward M.Tuckerman Mrs.Allan R.White,Jr. REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT The new Mist Blower acquired in April was put to immediate use.Spraying was carried out almost constantly from April thru September.Becuase of this Elm Leaf Beetles and Oak Leaf Skeletonizers were practically wiped out and with this new equipment it promises to keep all our trees in good condition. DUTCH ELM DISEASE Using a special preventative spray we were able to keep this disease under control this year.Anyone who notices rapid wilting or yellowing of Elm trees in the mid-summer should call the Moth Superintendent. POISON IVY This also was well controlled this year and wherever this is visible from the street along with ragweed it should be reported so that it can be kept under contrbl in the future. Respectfully Submitted REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Cohasset: During the year a total of one hundred and eighty nine (189)clam permits were issued and about fifty (50)bushels of clams were dug from our flats in Little Harbor. At the request of the Board of Selectmen a survey of our Little Harbor clam flats was taken on July 28,1971 by Shellfish Biologist Arnold Carr of the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources. 70 In his report of August 6,1971,based on samples taken,Mr.Carr states that there is only one legal clam and 47 seed clams per square foot.Based on these findings,the Board of Selectmen closed the clam flats on August 18,1971. Based on the report of the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources,I feel that the closing of the clam flats in Little Harbor should continue for at least two years. Respectfully submitted, Ellery C.S.Sidney Shellfish Constable 1971 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING The Cohasset Council on Aging meets the second Monday of each month in the living room of the Unitarian Parish House.Council meetings are concerned with the planning and coordination of services for the elderly citizens of our community. A monthly newsletter,"Senior Vista"which contains information on social, educational and recreational programs for senior citizens is published by the Council and mailed to any resident of the town desiring to receive it.Presently the mailing list includes 210 addresses. The Council also provides subsidies for activities of the 60-Plus Club and sponsors a drop-in center at the Unitarian Parish House Wednesday and Friday afternoons. The Council carried on a continuing investigation of the problems of our older citizens with regard to health care,housing,employment,transportation, education and recreation,and seeks to find ways to provide assistance either through existing agencies or by creating new programs where the need exists. Respectfully submitted, Edward T.Atkinson,Chairman Members:Albert Livingston,Thomas Twitchell,Arlene Cline,Elinor Kennedy, Karl Kristiansen,Frances Antonine,Patrick Plante,Paula Logan, Willoughby Hood 71 TOWN OF COHASSET GOVERNMENT ISLAND STUDY COMMITTEE We are pleased to present herewith the report of the Government Island Study Committee for the year 1971. As in the years past more people are getting to know and to use Government Island in larger numbers.The parking problem has been great in the past years, but the parking problem became so acute this past season that the Committee, after conducting surveys of the cars and trucks,petitioned the Selectmen to impose parking restrictions.The restrictions include parking for Cohasset Residents only,and suggesting the use of Sandy Beach Stickers as a means of identifying Cohasset Residents. In mid-August a study plan was presented to the Selectmen which showed a minimum amount of work necessary to upgrade the driveways and parking area around the Town Dock and Entrance Areas.It was thought that the work shown could be accomplished by the use of employees of Town Departments during slack periods.Unfortunately nothing has been done because of lack of funding. In order to expedite the completion of the work the Committee requests that the following sums of money be included in the Town Budget for 1971. 1.The sum of $2,000.00 be appropriated for use of the Committee for finishing,grading and black-topping of driveways and parking areas; 2.The sum of $1,000.00 be appropriated for use of the Committee for clearing and grubbing; 3.The sum of $1,000.00 be appropriated for use of the Committee to engage engineers to design a new and more adequate parking area; 4.The sum of $100.00 be appropriated for use of the Committee for purchase of stationery and other office expenses. We wish to thank the members of the Cohasset Boy Scouts for their work in picking up trash and refuse. Respectfully submitted, Gerard J.Stanton,Chairman Government Island Study Committee 72 REPORT OF THE VETERANS MEMORIAL COMMITTEE The Veterans Memorial Committee during the past year has watched over the Veterans Memorial and Memorial Park in general.The committee has been successful in its efforts to keep the memorial a "Show Place",paying tribute to Cohasset Veterans.Routine maintenance has been handled by the Tree and Park Department,very efficiently.Annual Plantings were donated by the Garden Club this year,and it is hoped the town will benifit their generosity in 1972. The committee has been most successful in obtaining the co-operation and resources of the various town departments and committee members to accomplish various chores relating to the memorial,at no expense to the tax payer.It is the intent of the committee to continue to operate in this manner. Vandalism has been the biggest problem encountered by the committee,thievery of the Flags has been the most popular.The committee has reported no less than six stolen flags to police headquarters.The PoUce have been most co-operative and efficient in handling the matter.On two occasions they recovered stolen flags.The committee has been able to replace the flags from an inventory purchased in 1970,with the original $6,500.00 funding.The committee has requested that the Selectmen carry the amount of $150.00 in the 1972 budget for use to purchase flags and Sundries for the memorial.The funds to be used at the recommendation of the Veterans Memorial Committee. This Chairman would like to take this opportunity to thank each committee member.Town Official,Department Head,and Town employees as well as the numerous private citizens who were so co-operative in the many committee endeavors during the past year. It is recommended that the Veterans Memorial Committee be continued indefinitely. Respectfully submitted, Glenn A.Pratt, Chairman Veterans Memorial Committee REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN The following is the annual report of the wire department for the year 1971, 73 FIRE ALARM All fire alarm boxes were tested for proper operation.Eight new alarm movements were installed this past fall to replace the old interfering type. Overhead wire,crossarms,and hardware were replaced where needed. TRAFFIC SIGNALS All traffic lights were overhauled and tested.New lights were installed at the high school and the Deerhill School. A pair of flashing yellow lights were installed at Collins corner,where numerous accidents happened in the past. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS AND REPAIRS Repairs and new work to town-owned buildings and properties were done by this department. WIRE INSPECTION All work done by electrical contractors was inspected,and fees for this work were filed with the Town Accountant and Treasurer. I wish to express my thanks to the honorable Board of Selectmen,all Town Officials,and to the men who worked with me. Respectfully yours, Edward Malley Superintendent of Wires REPORT OF THE SCHOOL FACILITIES COMMITTEE FOR 1971 This committee's effort has been devoted entirely to the space problem at the elementary school level. The Extended School Year Study,which was sponsored in cooperation with the School Committee,has been completed and an extensive report was prepared.A summary of this report will be finished by the Extended School Year Study Committee early in 1972. At the 1971 March Town Meeting $2,000 was authorized in order for the School Facilities Committee to retain an architect to study possible renovations and modifications to the Deer Hill School and the Joseph Osgood School as one possible solution to the lack of adequate facilities. 74 The committee interviewed representatives from approximately fifteen firms before selecting Hill Miller Friedlaender Hollander,Inc.,Architects and Educational Planners of Cambridge,Ma.to undertake the study. Mr.Stephen Friedlaender spent many hours interviewing Department Heads, Staff,Specialists,and members of the Administration in addition to investigating the buildings themselves.He discussed a number of architectural possibiHties with the committee before the final report was submitted in October.This report contained two alternate solutions and was made public at a School Committee meeting on December 6,1971. Members of the committee have also investigated the use of relocatable or pre-engineered construction.They have visited schools using this type of construction and have obtained prices from several firms in this field. The committee has met jointly with the School Committee to try to decide the relative priorities of needs facing the elementary schools.The committee anticipates that joint consideration of these needs and the various possible solutions which the School Committee will lead to a recommended plan of action for the March Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, Lot E.Bates,Jr. Barbara W.Bliss (Mrs.Charles) Sheila S.Evans (Mrs.Donald) Robert L.JuHan John F.Keane Barbara M.Power (Mrs.Jeffrey) Sumner Smith,Jr. David C.Whipple,Chairman REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD During 1971 the Planning Board began a program directed toward the development of a new landuse Master Plan for the Town of Cohasset.The Planning Board reviewed the Allen Benjamen Report,a Master Plan completed under 701 Funding in 1960,and the Hidell Associates Report on Open Space, Conservation and Recreation completed in 1970 under the direction of the Conservation Commission.This was an attempt to discern what suggestions and proposals of each report were still appropriate (The Benjamin Report being almost 12 years old)and relevant to the Town's present and projected situation. 75 Each member of the Planning Board reviewed particular sections of the Benjamin and Hidell reports and submitted recommendations to the Planning Board.These recommendations are being compiled into a report of the Planning Board to be distributed to other Town agencies. The Planning Board has directed considerable attention to the development of a Cluster Zoning By-Law and a new proposal for multi-family housing.The Planning Board intends to submit the "Cluster Zoning By-Law"to the Town Meeting in March of 1972,however further work is necessary on the Multi-Family Housing By-Law*and thus at the time of the writing of this report,it is doubtful as to whether the Planning Board will be able to submit this particular By-Law this March at the Town Meeting.The Planning Board has also completed a study of the former Perm Central railroad right-of-way in order to make a recommendation to the town for use of the right-of-way and acquisition. The Planning Board was faced with a broad spectrum of development problems during 1971.A number of developers did not comply with Covenants which they held with the Board and as a result considerable time was spent tracking them down and seeking complience.There was only one major subdivision submitted to the Planning Board during 1971,this proposed development was rejected by the Board.The Planning Board assisted the Zoning Board of Appeals in three major development proposals,the Carzis Motel project,the Cohasset Swim and Recreation Trust proposal and the Black Rock High-Rise Apartment proposal. It is the general feeling the members of the Planning Board that pressure from land development is increasing substantially,not only from the standpoint of land consumption and resource base depletion but also from the nature of legislation being passed by legislators.The sum total of this legislation seems to be directed at forcing Towns to act in light of social needs for housing on their own or removing such choice of action from the towns and having state agencies become the town planning agencies in certain respects.The Planning Board of Cohasset is very cognizant of these pressures and intends to maintain a continued program for updating and further developing good planning practices through zoning regulations and master landuse program. *Note on apartment zoning: The water and sewerage problems facing the Town of Cohasset,seriously limits any real consideration of apartment construction at this time.The Planning Board thinks however,that the Town should make a decision concerning multi-family housing.It is in this light that the Planning Board will offer its proposed multi-family zoning by-law.Part of the Planning Board's responsibihty is to maintain an atmosphere in which development will not be detrimental to the general welfare of the community,this however does not preclude the future development of the water supply and 76 sewage treatment facilities wherein these developments could well support larger populations and housing developments. Respectfully submitted, Henry R.Hidell III,Chairman Julian Rifkin Thomas E.Morse Lawrence D.Ainslie,Secretary Nathan W.Bates REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION Most of the efforts of the Conservation Commission in 1971 have been aimed at carrying out the recommendations of the new "Comprehensive Plan for Conservation,Open Space and Recreation in Cohasset"commonly known as the Hidell Report.These recommendations are so many and diverse that only the most important could be implemented in the first year.Copies of the report are on file in the Selectmen's Office and the Library.The Report has been updated and corrected this year. One of the key recommendations of the Hidell Report is the acquisition of the Penn Central Railroad right-of-way.The Selectmen are working on this at present.A major decision requiring much study is whether to purchase it with state conservation self-help funds and restrict its use,or whether to purchase it outright for unrestricted use by the town.The Planning Board is studying the matter and will have a recommendation for the March Town meeting. At the March,1971 town meeting.Article 23,jointly sponsored by the Conservation Commission and the Water Department,set up an area around Aaron River and Lily Pond which would be protected from further development as a safeguard to the town water supply.With ever increasing demands on our water supply and on developable land,we believe that this section of the Zoning By-Law will prove of great value in the future. Under the Coastal Wetlands Act,the State may protect such wetlands from further development.We have applied to the State Department of Natural Resources for such protection for the marshes around the Gulf and around Little Harbor.The engineering work which must precede such a move has been done and our application is pending action by the Department.A public hearing is the next step.We hope that this will take place early next year. Since the death of Howard Bates,the Tree Department has been overworked. Believing that a planned program of tree case would improve its effectiveness,we 77 engage Mr.Kenneth Schult to make a complete survey of town trees,with recommendations for their case and estimates of its cost.We also asked Mr. Schult for recommendations on the care of the shrub and turf areas of town parks,recreation areas and school grounds.His first six-month report,on the trees,indicated some 500 town trees in need of approximately $28,000 of care. We expect that Mr.Schult's services will be of great help to the town in planning the preservation of these natural resources,our trees and parks. At our March Meeting,John Hubbard resigned as chairman and John Bryant was elected to take his place.Fortunately for the town,Mr.Hubbard has been no less active.With great regret the resignations of two of the founding members of the Commission were accepted.Dr.Edward Woods and Mr.George Benedict. Their places have been filled by former Associate Members Joseph Becker and Mrs.George Rabstejnek. Looking ahead to 1 972 we see out duties enlarged.An amendment to the Hatch Act puts the responsibiUty for conducting hearings on the Conservation Commission.We would remind developers that they must file by certified mail not less than thirty days prior to filling wetland. In 1972,we hope to implement further recommendations of the Hidell report. We also foresee the likelihood of acquiring desirable land,as citizens attempt to reduce their tax furden following revaluation,through donations of land or conservation easements. COHASSET CONSERVATION COMMISSION Joseph Becker John R.Chase John F.Hubbard Herbert B.Marsh Mrs.David E.Place Mrs.George J.Rabstejnek John K.Bryant,Chairman 78 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Surveyor for the year ending December 31,1971. The work performed by the men of the Highway Department does not vary from year to year.The projects and maintenance work remain the same. The Spring work started with the sweeping of the streets,painting of traffic lines,cleaning catch basins,repairing and painting street signs and the replacing of concrete fence posts.A section of Beechwood Street and Todd road was drained and resurfaced.Seventeen Basins were installed and 1284'of 12"pipe laid,and two new Culverts put in. Sections of Pond and King Street were sealed with hquid asphalt. In a period of sixteen years the Department has installed 415 standard Catch basins,laid 42,035'of drain pipe and resurfaced 31Vi miles of roads and private ways. Chapter 90 Construction and Maintenance funds were applied for this year. The Construction funds will be used on Elm Street and the Maintenance funds on Streets approved by the State for such aid. This year the maintenance funds were used to paint Cunningham's Bridge, resurface a section of Ripley Road,and install curbing on South Main Street. This coming year the drainage System on Redgate Lane should be replaced and the road resurfaced.The drainage system is forty years old. The condition as the end of Forest Avenue and Jerusalem Road will be considered.The State will be asked to help solve the problem. This is the third year that the Highway Department has not asked for monies under special Highway articles other than Chapter 90 work. The Department has six men and good equipment. I thank the men of the Department,Town Officials,and citizens who have helped me during the year. Respectfully Submitted, Louis C.Baily,Jr. Highway Surveyor 79 REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION The Recreation Commission has now completed its fifteenth year of operation.On the third Wednesday of each month the five commissioners,Mr. Gowen the Program Director and Richard Sawyer the teenage representative meet at eight P.M.at the Community Center.These meetings are open to the public. Mr.Paul Mema,who had been the program director,was appointed in October to fill the vacancy on the board due to the resignation of Mr.Robert Pennington.Mr.Ernest Gowan who came to use from Duxbury's Recreation Program was appointed program director. The summer program was set up a Uttle differently this year with morning activity at Barnes Field and afternoons at Beechwood Ball Field.In conjunction with the Hingham Recreation Department,the Hull Street playground was in operation all day.Children from ages five through twelve attended these programs which consisted of:sporting events,gymnastics,arts and crafts, storytime and trips to such places as South Shore Musical Circus Children's Shows.Rainy day activities were held at Deer Hill School.Attendance at this cost free program was up from previous years. With completion of the lighting of Osgood's basketball court,a night program was set up in an effort to attract the teenagers of the town.Credit should be given to the young people who ran this basketball program and to the large number of young people who attended.A special vote of thanks to the Wire Department for installing the floodlights. A new program for the women of the town was the well-attended exercise classes.These classes were held in the high school gym on Wednesday nights.We hope to be able to run this program again next year. Meetings were held with the Tree and Park Department which has taken over the duty of the field maintenance,a duty formerly held by this conmiission. These meetings concerned the plans to construct a new practice field which has been started by this commission and the re-surfacing of Miliken Football Field. We hope this work will be completed in seventy-two. The skating pond on Cushing Road was improved this year and we hope to do likewise to the one on Beechwood Street next year.These ponds are lighted and are well-used by the townspeople. We would like to thank the Cohasset Jaycees who painted the stands at Beechwood Ball Park.Mr.Nelson Megna thd the School Department has been most co-operative in allowing us the use of various facilities for programs and has 80 encouraged our expansion.To them we extend our thanks and appreciation. Only by continued working together,department with department,organization and group with counterpart,can the town fulfill the needs of all persons with the least amount of duplication. Respectfully submitted, A.PATRICK McCarthy,chairman HAMILTON TWEKSBURY WILLIAM O'BRIEN ROBERT KNOX PAULMERNA REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER I hereby submit the annual report of the Harbor Department for the year 1971. There were several areas of improvement to aid the boating pubUc;namely,the adding of two new flood lights,one at the Yacht Club and one at Government Island.These lights are helping tremendously in keeping vandalism and theft at a minimum.The float known as the Fisherman's Float,next to Fieldbrook,was dredged out to a six foot depth so that boats would not ground out at low tide. It was initiated on a small scale to moor boats bow and stern in the upper cove area by Kimball's on a trial basis.This seemed to work out very satisfactorily and it is intended that we pursue this on a larger scale in the coming year in the creek area as well as at the cove. There are still over 200 applications on a waiting Hst for a mooring in the harbor.Persons are warned not to purchase a boat without going through the proper channels of procedure pertaining to the harbor rules and regulations so they save themselves a lot of aggrevation as well as inconvenience to other pertential boat owners. Also,this fall the Harbor Department received a donation of a 24 foot, Inboard-Outboard,to be used for Search and Rescue and Harbor Patrol.This gift has saved the town a good deal of money and should add to the efficiency of the department. It is planned for 1972 to add two new floats to create more docking faciHties for the loading and unloading of boats and more float tie-up space for tenders. Also it is planned to drill and mark all ledge out-crop in several areas of the harbor.We intend,in accordance with our survey of the walls around the harbor, to set up a long range plan of repairing according to priority. 81 In closing,may I say that it is the intent of the department to keep a constant eye out for improvement of the harbor and to assist the boating public as efficiently as can be expected for the best interest of all concerned. Respectfully submitted, Harry H.Ritter Harbormaster REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN This year the Board of Selectmen alternated their regular weekly meetings morning and nights,so as to be more available to those who wished to attend and discuss their problems with the Board,In addition,numerous special meetings and hearings have been held from time to time. This year was our first experience as Tree and Park Commissioners,as voted by Article 29 of the 1970 Town Meeting.By this Article,the Board of Selectmen were instructed to petition the General Court for the passage of a special law for the elimination of the Superintendent of Insect Pest Control and the transferring of his duties to a Superintendent of Trees and Parks. This year we were not able to appoint such a person because of lack of funds. Because of this,the Board of Selectmen feel they have not been able to appoint such a person because of lack of funds.Becuase of this,the Board of Selectmen feel they have not been able to carry out the intent of this Article,as we have not been able to coordinate the work of the Tree and Park Department under a single head in order to achieve the most efficient operation of the Department.This year we are asking for the necessary funds to employ a Superintendent to carry out this function. It is the feeling of the Board of Selectmen that ways must be found to increase the revenue of the Town by a wider tax base so as to stabilize the tax rate. The Town was greatly saddened by the death of our esteemed Town Treasurer,David Truesdell,who served the Town so faithfully. We wish to thank all of the various committees and departments for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Clark,Chairman Henry W.Ainshe,Jr. Mary Jeanette Murray 82 REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT I herewith submit the annual report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31,1971. In the year 1971 the Fire Department responded to 366 fires or emergency calls.Of this 1 24 were Bell Alarms and the remaining 242 were Still Alarms. A summary of these emergencies is as follows. Buildings and Structures 28 Grass,brush and dumps 63 Aid to persons,first aid,resuscitation 86 Investigations of smoke,gas and other hazardous conditions 49 Mutual Aid to Scituate 3 Mutual Aid to Hull 18 Mutual Aid to Hingham 10 Electrical fires 8 Flammable Hquids and gases 6 Vehicles,boats and accidents 26 Needless and accidental calls 15 False alarms and bomb scares 49 Miscellaneous 5 The number of false alarms (44)and bomb scares in Public buildings (5)is up greatly over any past year.This should be a major concern to every citizen .. not only because of the expense involved but the resulting delay in men and equipment reaching the scene of a true emergency.Bomb scares in pubHc buildings require many man hours to make even a cursory inspection,this results in a delay once more in responding to an emergency. The cooperation of all citizens is required if apprehension of the culprits is going to be made.Fire alarm boxes on the pubhc ways are for notification of a fire or emergency and should be used for this purpose only.Citizens seeing any one acting suspiciously around one of these boxes should notify the Fire or Police Department immediately ...giving a complete description of what has been witnessed. As stated in last years annual report the "Regulations for the Control of Air Pollution in Metropolitan Boston Air Pollution Control District"prohibit aH outside burning ...the burning of leaves,grass,brush and incinerators is prohibited,burning at the Town dump is also prohibited.While most of the citizens have cooperated in observance of these regulations there are still some who feel they are exempt,appropriate action will be taken in future cases of non-compliance. 83 The apparatus and equipment of the department is in good condition,keeping in mind that the ages vary from 10 to 24 years. COMPANY TYPE OF EQUIPMENT STATIONED MAKE YEAR Engine 1 750 GPM Pumper Headquarters Pirsch 1961 Engine 2 750 GPM Pumper North Cohasset Pirsch 1954 Engine 3 500 GPM Pumper Beechwood Mack 1950 Engine 4 500 GPM Pumper Headquarters Ford 1953 Ladder 1 65 ft.Aerial Headquarters Pirsch 1947 Forest 500 GPM/400 gal tank Headquarters Dodge 1955 Panel Lighting truck Headquarters Ford 1953 Sedan Chiefs car Headquarters Ford 1967 Extensive repairs made to the front end and steering of Engine 3.While this is the oldest (21)pumping engine of the department it is intended to replace Engine 4 (18)this year.The reason for not replacing the oldest unit is that the station housing Engine 3 will not accommodate a vehicle any larger than the present one.A modern pumping engine physically will not fit inside the building. The buildings at North Cohasset and Beechwood are no longer suitable for fire department service.They are to small for present day apparatus,the accommodations for the men are poor and most important they are poorly located to provide maximum service to the Town.Combining of these two companies into one modern station would result in better response to the entire community and a more efficient operation,as well as allow for future replacement of the existing apparatus. In conclusion,I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the citizens of Cohasset,the Honorable Board of Selectmen,and the heads and members of all Town Departments for their fine cooperation and assistance. I would be remiss if I did not thank each and every man of the Fire Department for his fine cooperation,assistance and performance of duty. Respectfully submitted, Charles Piepenbrink Chief of Fire Department and Forest Warden 84 ANNUAL REPORT OF COHASSET POLICE DEPARTMENT As directed by the by-laws of the Town of Cohasset,Article 3,Section 3,I herewith submit my report for the Cohasset Police Department for the year ending December 31,1971.

Respectfully submitted, Randolph A.Feola Chief of Police Cohasset,Massachusetts RAF/tbk REPORT OF THE CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE The Capital Budget Committee is a newly created committee estabUshed by a resolution of the Town Meeting of March,1971.Its purpose is to gather information from all Town departments concerning their planned expenditures of a capital nature not only for each current year but more significantly for future years.By bringing together the planned capital needs of all departnients it is hoped that major expenditures can be scheduled in an orderly manner to minimize as much as possible abnormal peaks in such outlays. The members of the Committee were appointed in the Fall of 1971 and have made initial contact with those departments that are most capital intensive. During 1 972 the Committee will develop more detail information concerning the capital planning of all departments and will prepare a comprehensive schedule of these plans for the years 1973 through 1977. Respectfully submitted, Robert E.Gibbons,Chairman George W.Benedict III Thomas E.Morse James E.Tyeryar Arnold N.Weeks 88 REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Personnel Committee has met regularly on the second Tuesday of each month.We have held additional meetings during the months of May and June relative to the contract with the Cohasset Police Association.During the months of November and December meetings were held each Monday and Tuesday night.The Committee is available to meet with any Town employee and other interested citizens upon request. The Personnel Committee was again appointed by the Selectmen to be the Bargaining Agent for the Town.The Committee is authorized to bargain with any and all employees who are organized to bargain for wages and working conditions under the rules and regulations of the Commonwealth.The early months of this year were spent in negotiations with the Cohasset Police Association.The negotiations were completed in June and the contract was signed by both parties in August.The contract runs through December 31,1972. Cohasset continues to rank among Towns of its size and with surrounding communities in most phases of employee compensation.The only area in which we do not measure up is in the number of hours worked weekly by our firefighters.Most other Towns in the area are working a 42 hour week.Cohasset firefighters work a 56 hour week and have been on that schedule since 1956. The Personnel Committee is recommending the adoption of a three year "package"to bring our firefighters in line with surrounding Towns.The package calls for a reduction in hours over three years with the addition of two men each of three years to implement this plan. Our recommendation for a cost of living increase is based in part on the guidelines imposed by the Federal Wage and Price Board and the cost of living rise in the Boston area in the Past Year.Our recommendations are in line with those of surrounding Towns. Several members'terms expired at the beginning of the year and during the summer our Chairman resigned for personal reasons.As a result,only one of the present members served on last years committee.We want to thank those who have served so admirably in the past and were so willing to come to our aid this year.I also wish to thank the present members who have so freely of their time in behalf of the employees of the Town. Respectfully submitted, John M.MacNeill,Chairman James Gillespie Kenneth Cook Charles Ford John Trayers 89 Report of the Committee to Survey the Administrative Functions of the Various Town Offices,Boards,and Departments Over the past year this committee has seriously considered its past record of performance,and its future potential for providing the benefits to the Town perceived under its founding charter.The initial committee formed undertook an extensive survey and study of the Town administrative functions and reported their findings and recommendations to the next ensuing Town Meeting with articles for Town acceptance.None of these recommendations were enacted and the committee as then constituted with the exception of one member asked to be excused.A new committee composed largely of the current members was appointed to continue.Since that time three recommendations of this committee have been presented to,and adopted by the Town.This is a pitiful record.This committee is now in its fourth year of existence and finds itself largely unable to realize its purpose of recommending significant ways in which economies or improved efficiencies in Town administration could be effected.The nature of our inability to suggest appropriate actions for the Town to take is due largely to the existing legal structure of the present Town organization. With the passage by the General Court of the Home Rule Constitutional Amendment in 1966 which authorizes cities and towns to formulate individuaUzed governing charters,a unique opportunity has been afforded to Cohasset.For the first time Cohasset has the opportunity to implement a major revamping of its organizational structure to be more responsible,efficient,and effective to its own individual needs. This does not mean to imply that the Town administrative structure as presently constituted is taking advantage of its awkward character to perpetuate inefficiencies or expensive overlapping structure.To the contraty,the Town is extremely fortunate in having the services of the dedicated and committed town employees that it has,who are continually concerned to provide the best for the least. It does mean to imply,however,that our committee feels that only through exercising the opportunity afforded by the constitutional amendment can Cohasset reaUze the goal that our committee was constituted to find. A further impetus for the election of a charter commission is contained in Section 12,Chapter 43B of the General Laws which required that by 1976 each Town must have a pubUshed charter.This charter must necessarily be one of two things:-either a compilation of all the statutes under which the Town is now governed,or a wholly new and custom-fitted charter design expressly for the needs and desires of the community it is designed to serve. 9a Failure to act under the provisions of this constitutional amendment could well result in the Town being obhged to accept a charter compiled at the last moment under less than ideal conditions of review which could well be detrimental to the Town's future interest. With the above recommendations which are to be presented in the form of a resolution at the March Town Meeting your committee feels that its function should be incorporated into the deHberation of a specific charter commission to be elected under the provisions of the Home Rule Constitutional Amendment; and we do therefore ask that this report be considered and accepted as our final act,and that our committee be dissolved as having completed its function, (Mrs.)Francis E.Charles Richard D.Leggat Stewart D.Sargent Edwin A.Young Philip N.Bowditch (Chairman) REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1971 The School Committee is operating with what it beUeves is the mandate of the Townspeople to balance the delicate equation of financial responsibility and educational excellence.In trying to fulfill that mandate,the Committee has held many meetings during the past year as it tried to resolve compUcated educational issues.The search for positive solutions to some of our more difficult problems continued into 1972. In 1971,for the first time in several years,the School Committee was able to slow down significantly the rate of increased school costs without disrupting the excellence of the school system.In 1969,the Committee asked for an appropriation increase of 19%over 1968;in 1970 an increase of 17.9%over 1969;and in 1971,an appropriation increase of only 8.3%over 1970.The School Committee hopes that in 1972 it can continue to hold increased costs to a minimum though this will not be easy.Educators are becoming more specilized,parents want more individualized services for their children,and the evolutionary process of education together with our society's desire for something new and innovative all add up to costs potentially spiraling upward. The School system has experimented with many new approaches to education such as Differential Staffing in the elementary schools which we hope will give students a better learning situation immediately,and will produce, eventually,a real long run financial savings to the town. 91 The Osgood and Deerhill Schools are probably going to need some renovation to provide more open space if the Differential teaching concept is to succeed. Also after two years,the kindergarten will be leaving the Unitarian Parish House and returning to the elementary school.With these changes in mind,the School Facilities Committee has been studying the developing physical space problems of the elementary schools and will make a presentation to the town in early 1972. The cost of retaining first rate teaching personnel in the School System continued to be expensive.With the individualized approach to education that has been estabhshed in the Cohasset system,there is an ever increasing call on the School Committee to hire more specialists to deal with childrens'problems that are derived from the complexities of our society.Far more is expected of the Schools than ever before.The Committee has the unhappy task of balancing those individual needs against what the town can afford.Some of the problem areas are Health and Drug Education,learning disabihty problems,speech therapy,and the list goes on and on.These are all difficult problem areas without simple solutions.Unfortunately,schools and teachers are limited in what they can do for a child;and they can not replace parents. Teacher negotiations were carried on all through the past year and a contract was not agreed upon until September 1st. A key point negotiated in the new contract makes it mandatory that a teacher actually obtain an advanced degree in a field of study approved by the School Committee to move from one salary column to the next higher one.To encourage our teachers'professional development and at the same time improve Cohasset's educational system,the School Committee agreed to pay tuition in an amount not exceeding $150 per approved course for up to two successfully completed courses during any one year. The whole area of teacher negotiations has become difficult and time consuming.The entire School Committee negotiated with the Teachers Association during this past year.The complexity of the issues makes it mandatory and in the Town's best interest for the School Committee to have the advice and experience of a professional negotiator for the coming year.As a result,one has been retained. This Committee is dedicated to a dynamic but commonsense approach to the education of Cohassets'Youth.The School System can do well what it is equipped for and that is to create an atmosphere for learning and free expression that will help childrens'minds develop in a way that they can lead lives that are productive to themselves and to our society.Everything else must be secondary! 92 Finally,the School Committee is especially appreciative to Reverend Edward Atkinson and the First Parish for lending the use of their facilities to the School Department during the past two years.

pleasure to submit my third annual report as your Superintendent of Schools.For purposes of clarity,the report is divided into two sections.Section 1 contains enrollment information and other statistical data of a general nature; Section II summarizes significant developments in the educational program which have taken place during the past year and concludes with recommendations for future improvement of the school system. SECTION I -STATISTICAL DATA A comparison of enrollments on October 1 for the school years 1967-1968 through 1971-1972 (current)is provided by the following table: Table -1 Comparative Enrollments,Five-Year Survey Grade Year Level 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 K 120 123 135 138 122 1 129 149 142 143 161 2 160 121 135 159 157 3 149 167 127 138 162 4 154 157 164 131 142 5 163 156 164 173 140 6 142 176 162 165 167 Spec.CI.******5 5 4 7 141 149 176 170 165 8 118 141 146 183 163 9 108 121 146 142 174 10 127 104 128 150 134 11 101 128 108 115 141 12 100 99 116 98 109 TOTALS 1712 1791 1854 1910 1941 *Reported at performance grade level 100 Table 2 provides a comparison of the enrollments in each of the three schools over a five year period: Table 2 -Enrollment Data Grouped by Schools -Five-Year Survey Year Building School 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 Capacity Osgood -497 481 531 602*425 Deer Hill 560 557 553 521 453 500 High 695 742 820 858 886 1000 TOTALS 1712 1791 1854 1910 1941 *Kindergarten (122 students)is temporarily housed at the First Parish House. October 1 enrollment figures provide a means for comparing the school system's enrollment at a comparable time during any school year,but they do not provide an accurate description of the overall enrollment pattern.A more precise representation can be obtained by using a statistic called the Average Daily Membership (ADM).This is obtained for any given year by adding the aggregate number of days of attendance of all students to the aggregate number of days of absence of all students and dividing that sum by the total number of days that school was in session.The ADM for the two preceding school years are provided in Table 3.These figures include both resident and non-resident (METCO)students.

With the continuing growth of the Town,an ever increasing number of problems have arisen regarding protection of our water supply and demands on the system.These problems were compounded by one of the dryest summers on record.With the pond supply deminishing early in the season,restrictions on the use of water were imposed for an extended period.A prolonged curtailment is reflected,of course,in total gallons distributed and reduction of revenue. 103 Building starts were also down with only sixteen (16)new accounts having been activated in 1971.Seven of these were previously installed by private developers.One new hydrant and approximately 300 feet of 8"main were installed by developers. Our program of hydrant updating has continued and service replacements as necessary. Pumping equipment at the Ellms Meadow well was completely re-built, sufficiently increasing the yield from this source. Much of the department personnel time was expended in a modification program at our Treatment Plant.With the installation of a completely new 8" transmission line from Lily Pond to the Treatment Plant and the installation of activated carbon as a filtering media.These modifications will assure us a substantial increase in out-put from this facility,as a temporary supplement to the total distribution until a new facility can be put into operation. An expression of Thanks is extended by the Board to all Town Officials, Department Heads and Committees for their cooperation throughout the year and to the Water Department Superintendent and personnel for their continued loyal support and untiring efforts. Respectfully submitted BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS Alan S.Murphy,Jr.,Chairman Rocco F.Laugelle David B.Buckley BOARD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS REPORT OF 1971 This year brought on a slow but steady increase in wastewater flow to the treatment plant through the increase in house connections to the sewerage system,although the potential for homes along the system has not been reached at the present time.A more formalized permit application for connection to the public sewer has been instituted in order to facilitate administrative and technical control over the construction of house connections. The Commissioners have become more aware of the complexity and problems associated with the effective transmission and efficient treatment of the Town's wastewaters.It is recognized that the prime responsibility of the Town is to assure that the publice health is protected by the proper operation and maintenance of the treatment facility and the Sewer Department has attempted to instill in the citizenry of Cohasset that the most important aspect of the sewerage systeiji is the treatment plant.Department personnel are encouraged to 104 participate in operator training courses and waste treatment seminars with the Board recognizing that such education will reap benefits for the Town in the form of a well operated treatment plant.This has been born out in a recent State Division of Water Pollution Control audit of the treatment plant which found it to be operating in line with its design expectations. As of this report,the Town is in the process of awarding a contract for the construction of sanitary sewers for the Cove,Elm Street and Village Business District.Federal grants from the Environmental Protection Agency Water Quality Office for the eligible portions of this addition to the sewerage system have been received which will help defray the construction costs.If the Board receives final economic approval from the Town,it is anticipated that the construction can begin during the early portion of 1972. The Board of Sewer Commissioners wish to take this time to thank those Town departments,committees and individuals for keeping the Department abreast of their programs which have a bearing on wastewater disposal in the Town.In addition,further gratitude is expressed to those individual Town employees who provided a much needed technical assistance necessary for the conduct of the Sewer Department.

To describe this trend in children's services is easier than answering some the questions it raises.Shall the public Hbrary continue to serve the children as school library services increasingly do the job?Would we do a better job of adult services in the Hmited space we have if we concentrated on adult services,if the public library,as an integral part of the town's library system,were exclusively an adult center?One-third of our circulation is to children.But only one-fourth of our budget goes to children's services.Should we do more or less for children? Or should we concentrate all children's Hbrary services in the schools? We continue to consider these question with the school department and hope members of the community will give thought to the matter.We will be proposing for discussion in the near future some new directions in the organization of library services. SUMMER READING INCENTIVE PROGRAM Eighty-two children participated in the program by submitting reading reports on ten or more books during the summer.Reading certificates were given to all participants and free paperbacks were given to all participants and free paperbacks were given to those who read twenty books.Forty-one children read at least twenty books,and twenty-one read forty or more.The gift books and materials for the program were paid for by the Friends of the Cohasset Library. MEETING ROOM USE The Hbrary 's attractive meeting room,built in 1964,was used at least twice a week during the year for meetings of groups and organizations,adult classes (yoga),adult film programs,story hours and film programs for children,and regular monthly meetings of the library trustees and the Friends of the Library. We invite increased use of this room for such purposes.The room also houses the music books and serves as a quiet study area. PUBLIC RELATIONS We assume that our basic public relations effort is the service we render.If it's good,we hope you tell your friends.When it's not so good,we hope you teH us. Our second line of public relations is the entire program of the Friends of the Cohasset Library-membership recruitment,programs,exhibits,volunteer work in the Hbrary (increased by one-third over last year)and in visits to nursing 107 homes,and gifts ($500 for outstanding books).To have so many members of the community actively involved in their library makes a better library and spreads the word to an ever wider number of citizens. We make other efforts to keep the community informed.Newspaper items on acquisitions,programs,exhibits,and policies have appeared regularly once or twice a month.A wide range of free booklists and pamphlets have been distributed in the library and local stores--30 different items,4,600 pieces-many of which are high quality materials supplied free by the Eastern Regional Library System. I am always happy to talk with any individual or group,and the monthly meetings of the Board of Library Trustees are open and the public welcome.

Deadwood has been removed and pruning carried out so that these trees are in excellent condition.There are many hundreds of shade trees lining our Cohasset Streets. Underbrush was cut back and mowing carried out along the roadside throughout the Town.Approximately forty Elm Trees and Twenty Maple Trees had to be removed throughout the Town and a number of new trees were planted in various sections. The Town has a nursery where we have approximately 50 trees at the present time,these trees will be planted throughout the town starting in early spring. Using a special preventive spray we were able to keep this disease under con- trol this year.Anyone who notices rapid wilting or yellowing of Elm trees in the mid-summer should call the Moth Superintendent. Our experience this past year as Tre.e and Park Commissioners has shown us a very definite need for a full-time working superintendent.A more efficient department has been our goal and a full-time working superintendent is a neces- sity for this purpose. Respectfully submitted, Arthur L.Clark,Chairman Mary Jeanette Murray Henry W.Ainslie,Jr. REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Cohasset: The new Mist Blower acquired in April was put to immediate use.Spraying was carried out almost constantly from April thru September.Because of this, Elm Leaf Beetles and Oak Leaf Skeletonizers were practically wiped out and with this new equipment it promises to keep our trees in good condition.
