Problems relative to the energy crisis were paramount during the latter part of the year.The Town has been fortunate to receive gasoline allotments equal to last year's consumption and fuel oil supplies have been ample with implementa- tion of economy measures.In both cases,however,costs have escalated rapidly and will probably continue to do so.To alleviate future problems,it will be nec- essary to provide centralized storage and distribution facilities to keep gasoline costs at a minimum.All departments have instituted energy-saving measures which will be periodically reviewed to discourage relaxation of them.A fuel emergency home assistance board was appointed consisting of the local Red Cross and Civil Defense directors.It was delegated the responsibihty for emergency al- lotments of home heating oil and for temporary living quarters should the need exist. Federal Government revenue-sharing funds in the amount of $106,630.were received during the year.So far,these monies have been applied in a manner which,in effect,reduces our tax rate.However,one should be reminded that the revenue sharing concept eUminates some programs previously funded through special grants and this practice excludes funds from all such programs.The Town has no central agency for obtaining Federal grants but its department heads, boards and committees are to be commended for ensuring that Cohasset receives its fair share. Special projects voted at the last annual Town Meeting and under the jurisdic- tion of the Selectmen were completed as follows: Article 27,Refurbishing Milliken football field. Article 28,Demolishing stadium at Milliken Field Article 41,Rebuilding sea-wall on Margin Street. Article 40 to rebuild the sea-wall at Lawrence Wharf on Border Street has been temporarily delayed because bids exceeded available funds.Article 30 to re- pair Cat Dam on Nichols Road has also been delayed awaiting financial assistance not previously contemplated. Last summer,an emergency existed with the water control structure of Strait's Pond.The Towns of Hull and Hingham requested that we share equally in repair- ing the tidal gates to control insects and odors.Through the efforts of our office, assisted by Rep.George C,(Chet)Young,the amounts were assigned to respective County budgets then in committee,with negligible cost to the Town. The Board elected to participate in the Federally sponsored TOPICS program. 20 This will result in an expert traffic and safety survey of all highways with financial assistance for making recommended changes. Youth Corps and Emergency Employment (EEA)programs were continued again this year but the latter will be discontinued by the Federal Government at fiscal year-end.The Youth Corps has been expanded to a year-round activity and currently has eight qualified participants.During 1973 alone,we received $1 1,937. non-contributory services from these programs.With a member of our Board,on the Quincy (Regional)Ancillary Manpower Planning Board,we are able to keep informed on all such programs open to us. Negotiations to purchase the Penn Central right-of-way have continued throughout the year.An offer was made but proceedings have been slow due pri- marily to the uncertainty of the whole rail transportation picture. Spurred by unfavorable pubUcity relative to our Town ambulance service,the Selectmen,assisted by interested members of the Police and Fire Departments, are conducting an in-depth study of alternatives open to the Town.Specific re- commendations concerning ambulance service will be presented at the next annual Town Meeting. The Board of Selectmen extends its sincere appreciation to all Townspeople, Town 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. 21 TOWN CLERK'S REPORT OF THE ANNUAL TOWN MEETING HELD MARCH 3,1973 At the Annual Business Meeting held at the High School at 10:00 A.M., March 3,1973,the following articles were contained in the Warrant and acted upon as recorded.

Respectfully submitted, Clarence M.Grassie,Chairman REPORT OF THE COHASSET DRUG EDUCATION COMMITTEE (C.D.E.C.) During the past year the Cohasset Drug Education Committee,through the vehicle of the drop-in center.The City,has been able to move beyond the limitations of a "drug center"toward a more broadly based and therefore more effective "youth center."This has allowed the Director and the twelve volunteer staff members to deal with those concerns which precede and aggravate drug abuse.Programs have also been developed which facihtate healthy development as well as a positive use of time and energies. The City is a unique program for Cohasset in many respects.First,it is the only program that provides an assortment of professional and non-professional services at no cost.This allows all of our townspeople to utilize the resources regardless of the family's income.Second,only a community based program can identify the specific needs of our community and respond with programs to meet our unique needs. Non-professional services which have been initiated over the past year include: (a)a bicycle repair workshop where our youth can learn how to repair their bikes, (b)a Friday evening coffeehouse with live entertainment,(c)a chess club,(d) periodic dances for our youth,and (e)streetwork designed to reach those who do not visit the center.These programs comprise the outreach component of The City and have been partially responsible for the more than tripling of young people that we have had contact with as compared to the previous year.More than 300 different people have used the center this past year,i.e.,approximately 25%of the 12 to 18 year old population. Professional services have been rendered to more than 100 individuals with the majority of these people seeking individual counseling.Between March 1,1973 and December 31,1973,431 hours were spent in counseling helping both youth and adults resolve their personal conflicts.The range of personal conflicts is only hinted at in our crisis categories which are listed below: Job placement for 13 individuals Suicide counseling for 2 individuals V.D.test and treatment for 8 Runaway counseling for 7 70 Legal aid for 2 Medical referral for 2 Problem pregnancy counseling for 3 Drug emergencies (overdoses,freak-outs,etc.)for 3 Psychiatric referral for 3 Family therapy for 2 families Other concerns cover a gamut from conflicts at home and school to marriage problems,drug problems,and dating concerns.In addition,January and February saw the beginning of three adolescent counseling groups. In an attempt to maximize the delivery of services within town,the Director has established strong communication lines with other services,e.g.,school guid- ance department,clergy,Cohasset Community Center,Social Service League, and other area programs.This has resulted in referrals between agencies,con- sultation,and overall increased efficiency. And finally,this year the Drug Education Committee was successful in re- ceiving a grant for more than $2,300 from the Department of Mental Health based on the merits of The City's program.This was facilitated by successfully meeting the requirements for licensing as a treatment facility by the Department of Mental Health.The effect for the Cohasset taxpayer is to stretch the local tax dollar through state funds resulting in a more effective program.The Committee has also soHcited over $3,000 in private contributions to help finance the opera- tional costs of The City. In short,this has been an extremely busy and prosperous year in which The City has established itself as the center for our teens.It is with a sense of pride and accomplishment that we look back on this past year and we hope you share these feelings.

This department issued 179 Building Permits for various structures and al- terations and collected $5785.00. The estimate cost of all projects for which Building Permits were issued was $2,996,208.00. The following is a breakdown of Permits issued. New Single Family Dwellings 25 Additions on Single Family Dwellings 27 Remodeling and alterations 59 Family Garage 3 Commercial Buildings 1 Swimming Pools (private)14 Swimming Pools and Building (community)1 Advertising Signs 22 Fences 8 Stables 1 Moving Buildings 2 Fire damage repairs 2 Apartment House (Housing for Elderly)1 Family Greenhouse 1 Storage Shed 4 Demolition of Buildings 6 All reported violations of the Zoning By-Law were investigated and approp- riate action taken as required. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all Departments for their co- operation and assistance for the past year. Respectfully submitted, James A.Litchfield Building Inspector Zoning Officer REPORT OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING The Cohasset Council on Aging meets regularly on the second Monday of each month at 3:30 p.m.in the Unitarian Parish House.Council meetings are concerned with the planning and coordination of services for the elder citizens of the town.Council meetings are always open to the pubhc. The Council continues to pubHsh a monthly newsletter,"Senior Vista"which 72 reaches a little over two hundred addresses with information regarding social, educational and recreational activities for senior citizens.Any resident of Co- hasset desiring to receive the "Vista"may have his name added to the mailing list by calling the Unitarian Parish House (383-1 105)weekday mornings. Two new services have been added to the programs available to senior citizens this past year.First,each Thursday that school is in session we are serving a hot lunch for senior citizens at the Unitarian Parish House.Thanks to the special efforts of Mrs.Patricia Wunschel and her staff these meals are made possible through the assistance of the School Department at a cost of $.60 a serving.Around 15 to 20 persons have been participating in the program as of this writing.Usually,a movie or some other entertainment follows the meal. Secondly,through the iniative and personnel of the Social Service League we now have a "Keep Well"clinic scheduled along with the regular monthly meet- ings of the 60-Plus Club at the Parish House on the third Tuesday of the month. At the clinic the town nurse conducts certain routine tests and gives helpful ad- vice on matters of health care and nutrition. We are very grateful to Mrs.Yolanda Baccari who has attended several of our meetings through the year providing us with a much needed liason with the Co- hasset Housing Authority.We are also appreciative of the efforts and interest of the Social Service League in setting up the "Keep Well"cHnic,in conducting a phone survey of the needs of the elderly in the town and in maintaining the "Meals on Wheels"program for those who need meals brought to their homes. Our greatest challenge remains to estabHsh some program to meet the trans- portation needs of our elder citizens especially in light of the energy crisis and the increasing cost of maintaining and operating private automobiles. Respectfully submitted, Edward T.Atkinson,Chairman Frances Antoine Karl T.Christiansen Kenneth J.Grew Willoughby Hood Albert Livingston Dorothy Morse Katherine Talarico Herbert Sherbrooke Cornelia H.White 73 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD -1973 During the past year the Planning Board had a very active and fruitful year. The Board did not witness a large number of subdivisions of any major propor- tions which required approval under the subdivision control law.However,the Planning Board was required by the Building Inspector's office to review three major proposals for the Cohasset landscape.They were the Black Rock House site proposal,the motel proposal submitted by Mr.Carzis and the recreational facilities of the Cohasset Swim and Recreation Trust.The Board's review of these proposals was not a function of the law but rather an attempt to unify de- partments relative to the whole Cohasset landscape. After a year of research,typing and editing,the Planning Board approved an amended edition of the Land Subdivision Rules and Regulations of the Planning Board.The town's subdivision Rules and Regulations had not been updated since 1957.The some sixty pages of the new edition defines in greater detail the subdivision design criteria and accounts for some of the recent development tech- nology relative to road design and drainage. The Planning Board has hired the Planning Consultants of Richardson and Kalishes to create a new base map for the town.The Town presently has no base map which shows the newer ways or where any reliable scale is found.The present map used by the town was completed in the early sixties by Gilbert Tower,Honorary Town Engineer.When completed the new base map will be able to be used by all town departments for purposes of plotting data and various plans such as sewer,water and drainage systems.The Planning Board shall impose a zoning layout on the base map and the Conservation Commission shall be using the new base map for study purposes and plotting conservation areas and flood plain study. The Planning Board in conjunction with the Conservation Commission and the Board of Selectmen have made application to H.U.D.for Federal Flood In- surance under the Flood Insurance Program.This program shall permit residents and businesses located in flood prone areas to receive flood insurance at sub- sidized rates. The Planning Board anticipates bringing several recommendations before Town meeting for approval relative to town zoning.We are presently studying the sign regulations in an effort to update them and strengthen them.We are reviewing our Cluster Zoning regulation of two years ago.We are also reviewing the entire Zoning By-Law for purposes of complete revision and reprinting.This review is being completed in conjunction with the development of the new base map.There have been several conflicts noted within the text of the Zoning By- Law and it is important for these to be cleared up as soon as possible.

In June,the Commission undertook to underwrite for one year from conser- vation funds an experimental elm tree treatment program.The work was done over the summer months by Lowden,Inc.,a reputable concern in the Northeast area,on approximately ten trees in the Common.It must be emphasized that there is no proven cure for the Dutch elm disease and the results of the treatment will not be known until the trees leaf out again in spring 1974.We were rapidly losing our precious town elms,however,and the Commission felt it was impor- tant to take immediate steps to try to save them. The Commission has engaged the services of Richardson &Kalishes,Environ- mental and Resource Planners to prepare maps and supportive data,including a soils map inventory,topographic base map,flood plain and watershed district map,all badly needed by the Town.This program will be completed in 1974. A gift of twenty-seven acres of land by Ambrose Realty Trust is acknowledged 77 with appreciation by the Commission.The land abutts the raihoad right of way off Sohier Street.We hope this action by one concerned group will encourage other citizens to consider gifts of land and/or easements for conservation pur- poses through the medium of legal provisions in a will or by outright deed. The Selectmen with the aid of the Planning Board and Conservation Com- mission applied to HUD for the Federal Flood Insurance Program.If accepted, Cohasset residents and businesses in flood prone areas may purchase flood in- surance at reduced rates. The Commission has long been concerned with the bad litter situation in the pubHc areas of our town.In an effort to help remedy the situation in one area for one winter season,the Commission has arranged for weekly pickup of trash from barrels at Sandy Beach.The Sandy Beach Association has traditionally taken care of beach litter during beach season,end of May through September, but Htter has not only rendered the area unseenly but also dangerous (broken glass,etc.)in other months of the year.This is the principal reason why we took on this task on a temporary basis until other arrangements can be worked out. After many years of dedicated service.Herb Marsh resigned from the Com- mission.John F.Elliott was appointed by the Selectmen to fill the vacancy.John R.Williams and Whitney Scott were appointed Consultants by members of the Commission.

The failure of boat owners to heed the regulations of the harbor pertaining to increasing the size of their boats without waiving notice with this office,has re- sulted in the loss of mooring space for previous mooring holders.This has also caused much confusion and dissatisfaction amongst all boat owners.A person who places a boat of larger size on a mooring is liable for all and any damages done to other boats. The attempt of placing racks and floats bow and stern has worked out very well and will eventually handle all boats under 20 feet. Due to the increased flow of boats entering the harbor there will be a much stricter enforcement of regulations pertaining to speed and the abuse of tying of 78 boats to town floats over the alloted time. The department has requested maintenance dredging in many areas of the harbor.This means I will need the full support of all concerned citizens to make this come about. In closing I wish to thank all who assisted the department this past year,with co-operation and many efforts. Sincerely, Harry H.Ritter,Harbormaster REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TREE AND PARK COMMISSIONERS 1973 was a busy year for the Tree and Park Department.The Elm Street Project with the reconstruction of the road meant most of the trees which were diseased and dying had to be removed.We managed to save some of the smaller trees by moving them with heavy equipment during the construction of the road. After the road was finished we planted 19 trees of 5 varieties. Tree planting was done on roadside where large trees had been removed,on some of our parks and also 4 cherry trees around the pond in the Common. The spray program was kept to a minimum this year with no heavy outbreak of insects or disease. The Tree Department spent a lot of time this summer working with Lowden, Inc.on the Ceratocide Experiment Program for a cure for Dutch Elm Disease. This project was sponsored by the Conservation Commission.Ten Elm trees were treated on and around the common.The result from this treatment will not be known until summer of 1974. Another project completed was the Milliken Field Football area rebuih by a local contractor.The Tree and Park Department installed an underground water- ing system for the field while under construction. Pruning and tree removal goes on all year round when the department is not on a special project. The Park Department also maintains all the school grounds as well as our parks and common and pond. Respectfully submitted, Bradley G.Martin Tree and Park Superintendent 79 ANNUAL REPORT OF OPERATIONS SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT 1973 Submitted herewith is a report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities for the period November 1,1972 to October 31,1973. The Project is a year round operation,a community cooperative effort to abate mosquitoes in the City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree,Cohasset,Dux- bury,Bingham,Hull,Marshfield,Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth.These com- munities comprise an area in excess of 172 square miles that inhabits a popula- tion of 250,000. The project came into being in 1953,was set up under Massachusetts General Law,Chapter 252,pertaining to mosquito control and Chapter 112,Acts of 1931, pertaining to salt marsh ditch maintenance and performs under these statutes. The Project's activities can be classed under three distinct methods of mos- quito abating:Source Reduction,Larvaciding and Adulticiding. A.Source Reduction:a planned water management program,whereby stagnant and brackish water is made to drain off,made to flow,or in some in- stances,to impound an area above a mosquito breeding depth.In source reduction, the following works were accomplished: 1.319,170 feet of mud,silt,sand and shale was excavated in salt marsh areas. 2.7,725 feet of fill was excavated in the construction of new drainage ditches in both salt marsh and inland areas. 3.10,000 feet of cleaning sand,gravel,growth,and other obstruc- tions from brooks and streams of the inlands. 4.1 2,900 feet of small trees,brush and other growth was cut and removed to allow access and facilitate mosquito operations. 5.2,375 man hours was spent in source reduction works. The Project operates two crawler tractors of special design for soft terrain. One,an International 500 with backhoe and winch;the other an Oliver 0C4D with backhoe and scavel blade,the latter to be turned in toward purchase of a new model International 500-C.The delivery and operation of this machine is anticipated in early 1974. B.Larvaciding:the application of a chemical insecticide to the waters actually having mosquito larvae present.In the larvaciding operation,the fol- lowing works were accomplished: 1.4,322 gallons of insecticide was applied by ground operations with back pack and power sprayers to treat approximately 8,000 acres. 2.1,383 gallons of insecticide was applied to treat 21,489 storm catch basins. 3.2,750 gallons of insecticide was applied from both helicopter and fixed wing aircraft to treat 1 1,000 acres of woodland 80 I' swamps and marginal pools to abate the spring hatch mosquito, Aedes Canadensis,the vector of dog heartworm. 4.1,625 man hours was spent in larvaciding works. 5.805 man hours was spent pre and post checking mosquito larvae sites to plan and evaluate spray operations. C.Adulticiding:the appHcation of a chemical insecticide,in an atomized form or fog ,to the air space and resting sites of the adult or flying mosquito. Adulticiding is done by power equipment from vehicles,back pack sprayers,on foot,and in limited amounts from aircraft.In adulticiding operations,the fol- lowing works were accomplished: 1.20,717 gallons of insecticide was applied to treat an approximate 44,000 acres. 2.2,200 acres were treated by aircraft to the critical Encephalitis areas. 3.2,71 1 man hours was spent in adulticiding works.The emphasis on type of mosquito abatement is determined by what the weather and biological conditions a season might bring.This past seasons main effort was put in adulticiding,the reason being this area had a very mild open winter followed by a warm,earlier than usual spring,ac- companied by heavy rains that continued on into midsummer that produced a bumper mosquito population.This past season exper- ienced an outbreak of Eastern Equine Encephalitis,in both the birds and horses.Ahhough not as serious as past epidemics,it did cover a much wider area including the states of New Hampshire and Rhode Island,as well as the whole eastern part of Massachusetts,including the islands.These two conditions gave the Project's phone it's busiest season on record.1,684 calls for service were received.These all were answered. All insecticides used by the Project are extensively tested and approved be- fore being registered by the U.S.D.A.and the Massachusetts D.P.H.Pesticide Board for mosquito abatement operations. These insecticides are: A.Malathion -for adulticiding at rates of .02 to .05 pound active to acre. B.Abate -for larvaciding at rates of .03 to .04 pound active to acre. C.Fenthion -for larvacing in polluted waters and for limited adulticiding at rates of .03 to .06 pounds active to acre. The label's recommended,formulation,dosage and safety precautions,are abided by at all times. ^All Project's personnel are duly licensed for the safe handling of pesticides. The Project wishes to acknowledge all assistance it has received from both Public Works Departments and officials. 81 REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen I hereby submit my report of the Wire Department for the year 1973. The year began with the fire alarm having to be completely done over on Elm Street,due to Chapter 90 work. The moving of all poles made it irrtpossible to use the existing wires.A trans- fer was needed to buy cable to run the length of Elm Street to complete the pro- ject. Other areas of Town rewired included,the Cove,center of Town,all of Hull Street,Lamberts Lane,Reservoir Road,and part of Highland Avenue.Four new boxes were installed in these areas to give better protection.Fire boxes along Atlantic Avenue were replaced due to salt water damage and age.Cross arms and hardware were replaced where needed and most all fire boxes were painted.Test- ing of boxes is being done on a weekly basis. Town Owned Buildings All repairs of electrical equipment and wiring was done by this department. Wire Inspection All work done by electrical contractors was inspected by the department and the fees turned into the Town Accountant. I wish to express my thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen,to all Town officials,and to the men who worked with me. Respectfully submitted, Stephen F.Wigmore Superintendent of Wires REPORT OF THE GOVERNMENT ISLAND COMMITTEE This Committee,pursuant to the vote and appropriation at the March meeting of 1972,completed the repairs to the wall at the Border Street entrance early in 1973 as planned.Members of the Committee and volunteers have worked in the restoration and cleaning of the grassy areas of the site and there will be a need for more of this work this spring.The Tree and Park Department have been most helpful in clearing and removing dead trees and weeds in the wooded section of the site and their assistance is noted and appreciated. Meetings were held at times during the summer concerning the parking pro- blem which was getting out of control.It was recommended that the Selectmen develop regulations to meet the weekend needs of the Townspeople at the Island. Steps were taken to discourage indiscriminate parking by non-townsmen,particu- larly on weekends.Because of the increased pressure on the limited parking facil- 82 ity now available it is quite apparent that action must be taken in the near future to increase the parking area. As a result of further study by the Committee and in order to control the use of the proposed parking facility this Committee feels that a single access parking lot can be constructed in the area Easterly of the present buildings and Southerly of the present parking lot turnaround. Recommendations as to the means required to accompHsh this will be made at Town Meeting. Respectfully submitted, Edwin A.Young,Chairman Rocco F.Laugelle Harry H.Ritter Mary Jane McArthur Edward Figueiredo Herbert R.Towle COHASSET HOUSING AUTHORITY The year 1973 began as one filled with delays and frustrations in our efforts to see the long planned Housing for the Elderly into construction.However,through persistent and time consuming efforts,our planning and construction difficulties have been solved and we are now able to anticipate a summer dedication of a completed project of 64 units. AppHcations for residency are being processed consistent with D.C.A.require- ments. Very truly yours, Yolanda Baccari James R.DeGiacomo Samuel Hassan Mary Jeanette Murray W.Chester Browne,Chairman 83 REPORT OF THE COHASSET FIRE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: I herewith submit the annual report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31,1973.

The 1 ,000 GPM pumper authorized at the Town Meeting of 1972 is at an ad- vanced stage of construction and barring any shortage of materials or equipment should be available in the spring. As stated in previous annual reports..some serious thought is going to have to be given to the sub-stations at Beechwood and North Cohasset.The structural features of these two buildings seriously limits the replacement and relocation of apparatus.The above inventory of apparatus indicates the age of the equipment in service and the need for replacement in the near future. STATIONS and EQUIPMENT The Tone Controlled Radio Receivers were purchased after preparation of specifications and public bidding.This system was put into service the latter part of 1973 and the results have been most satisfactory.As with any new system ad- justments and changes in procedure were necessary,but we were able to reach 84 the Call Firefighters quickly and more reliably. Five new units of self contained breathing apparatus were purchased after pre- paration of specifications and competitive public bidding.These additional units were required to meet the requirements of the General Laws.The reason behind this law was to help prevent the greatest source of injury to firefighters -smoke inhalation.With the increased use of plastics,foam rubber and other synthetic materials smoke and toxic gas generation has greatly increased. TRAINING During 1973 all of the permanent firefighters and officers,and several call firefighters and call officers completed training in Advanced First Aid conducted under the American Red Cross. Three fire department members.Firefighter Richard M.Conley,and Call Fire Captains Clifford J.Dickson and John M.MacNeill have attended and will com- plete in the near future the Emergency Medical Technicians training given at Milton Hospital.This is excellent training and of great value to the Town of Co- hasset.It is the intention of this department to have additional members take this training as it becomes available. The practice of in-service training was stopped during the period of road con- struction on Elm Street due to the uncertainty of response.During this same period and continuing to the present the construction at the rear of the Police and Fire Headquarters Building for the Housing for the Elderly has prevented any outside activity in the rear yard. SUMMARY of INCIDENTS AUDIBLE ALARMS 117 STILL ALARMS 207 324 The above incidents are broken down into classifications as follows: First Aid 28 Mutual Aid to Hull 17 Scituate 7 Hingham 4 Grass,Brush and Woods 21 Dump and Rubbish 6 Buildings 36 Auto Accidents 14 Automobile,Truck and Boat Fires 18 Gasoline washdown 10 Oil Burners 10 Assisting Persons and Animals 21 False Alarms and Hoax Calls 18 Smoke -Gas -Odor Investigations 28 85 Needless -Faulty Alarm or Sprinkler System 16 Dewatering Boats and Basements '....31 Broken Water Pipes,etc 9 Electrical -Wires and Appliances 11 Miscellaneous 19 The number of False Alarms and Hoax Calls has been reduced again this year. 1971 -49,1972 -32,1973 -18.While the number is again reduced the per- centage is still too high.The continued cooperation of all citizens with the fire and poUce departments is required if the persons involved are to be apprehended. Remember,when the fire and poUce departments are involved with a false or hoax call you might require the services of either or both departments. GENERAL COMMENTS During the year the Fire Department lost the services of two members through retirement and one by death. Call Firefighter Norman J.Delaney passed away on September 15,1973. Norman served the department and the Town of Cohasset with interest and de- sire for thirteen years. Call Fire Captain Charles W.Frates retired August 15,1973 after serving the department and the Town of Cohasset for forty-three years.Captain Frates was an excellent firefighter and officer. Deputy Chief Cornelius J.O'Brien retired March 31,1973 after serving the department and the Town of Cohasset for thirty-two years.He was appointed as a firefighter in 1941,a Captain in 1948,and Deputy Chief in 1956.He had the distinction of being the first permanent fire captain and the first permanent dep- uty chief.Deputy Chief O'Brien served the department and the Town of Cohasset with a great deal of zeal and devotion to duty. CONCLUSION In conclusion I would like to extend the thanks of this department to the citizens of Cohasset,the Board of Selectmen,the heads and members of all town departments and boards. To the Officers,Firefighters,Call Officers and Call Firefighters I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for performance of their assigned duties in a cooperative and diligent manner.

The committee has met with all individuals and groups who have desired to discuss personnel problems. The committee has diligently sought to be fair and understanding in the dis- cussion of personnel problems and at the same time keeping in mind the overall problems of the town. During the year the Personnel Committee has compiled a major project with the compilation of a record system of every individual on the town's payroll, covering every phase of the employees employment.A master file of these re- cords is on file at the Town Hall,and each member of the committee has an iden- tical record.Keeping this record up-to-date is a constant effort and it is succeeding. We regret the resignations of Charles C.Ford and John MacNeill after giving the committee many hours of valuable time and experience.We thank them for their services. David Chittim succeeded Mr.Ford.Mr.James F.Kearney is succeeding Mr.MacNeill. The Personnel Committee is always available for meetings with individuals or groups who wish to discuss problems related to their employment with the town and we shall do our upmost to help them.

A number of individuals purchased new books and subscriptions,sometimes in memory of a loved one.An appropriate book plate is placed in such gift books. The librarian is glad to advise anyone who is considering such a gift. The following major gifts were made to the library: Friends of the Library:built-in bookcase in lobby $300 printing and mailing new library brochure 380 91 Donald T.Gammons:40 volumes added (1969-1973)to the music collection;valued at 564 Alice Stewart Nisula:for a development fund 100 Anonymous:McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of World Art, 14 volumes 600 Ron Beal:three pieces of library furniture,valued at 600 FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY:This dues-paying voluntary association of 150 members (all are welcome!),June Hubbard,President,chalked up another re- cord year in service to the community.In addition to the gifts mentioned above, the Friends contributed 1,862 hours (up 36%over last year)in the library assist- ing the staff.Committee chairman contributed additional time and talent in ar- ranging exhibits,conducting a successful book sale and auction,sponsoring eight children's film programs (average attendance,67),eleven adult "classic film"pro- grams (average attendance,26),and a program on wildlife photography presented by Dr.Uve Hublitz of Cohasset. FILMS:Library handling of 16mm films from the Regional Library System/ Boston Public Library increased greatly during the year.In addition to film pro- grams in the library,the library placed reservations and handled delivery of 53 films to seven organizations.Total attendance at these film programs,by organiza- tion,was:Cohasset schools -472;Community Center -440;Cohasset Knoll -206; others-101. A YEAR OF EVALUATION:From the beginning of the year,the library trustees and the librarian have been looking at the library operation carefully to see what can be done about shortcomings that are limiting services.The trustees formed a subcommittee on long range planning which read material on library services and goals,and which met in several working sessions with the librarian.This subcom- mittee soon determined that immediate critical problems were:1)inadequate shelving for the book collection,and 2)inadequate workspace for staff duties. The subcommittee submitted a written report to this effect to the library trustees for discussion and action.The solution the trustees arrived at,and will ask funding for in 1974,is to put new bookshelves and two work stations in the Art &Music Room (meeting room downstairs).We regret very much the necessity to sacrifice the library's meeting room where this year we have had movies,yoga classes, French classes for children,story hours,and numerous community group meetings. But the town has other meeting places,and the library needs the space for books. The librarian submitted several written memos and statements to the board throughout the year in an effort to sharpen our definition of what the public li- brary is all about.A report in August,"Deficiencies in Library Administration and Services and a Proposed Solution,"tried to outline the improved and new services the library should be moving toward.The recommendations of that report will be given further study in 1974,and the long range planning committee will continue to study the direction the library should take beyond the immediate task of alleviating overcrowding of present book collection and staff activities. Citizens who are interested in these matters are cordially invited to express themselves in writing or in person to me or any member of the library board of ^^^^^^^^- ^ Respectfully submitted, Richard E.Hayes,Chief Librarian 92 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS For the Year 1973 The Town Meeting of March 1972 approved a total appropriation of 2.5 milHon dollars for the construction of new water facilities.This amount will be reduced by 994,000 dollars from an approved H.U.D.Grant.Your Commissioners have,since that time,worked diligently with many other Federal and State Agencies to obtain all necessary approvals.Special legislation was enacted,ease- ment and management agreement worked out with the Department of Natural Resources and land acquisition are but a few of the problems that have faced the Board.At this writing,it appears,that these and many other obstacles have been overcome.Plans &Specifications are now being drawn and construction will begin by Fall of 1974. This being one of the wettest years on record,the Water Department was able to keep up with the demands on the system in spite of the continued growth of the Town. Our records show twenty one (21)new accounts being activated this year. Sixteen hundred and fifty feet (1650)of new 8"main and one thousand feet (1000)of new 6"main and six (6)new hydrants were added to the system by private developers. The total distribution of water for 1973 shows an increase of twenty two (22) million gallons over the preceding year. In early spring a professional leak survey was conducted and many otherwise undetected leaks were located and repaired,resulting in considerable saving of water. The system and the department buildings and property are continuously main- tained by department personnel and are in good condition. The financial condition of the department continues to be sound and operating within its revenue. The Board of Water Commissioners express their thanks,at this time,to all Town Officials,Department Heads,and Committees for their cooperation and to the Superintendent and personnel of the Water Department for their continued loyal support.

The proof of the success of this school is the placing of all graduates in jobs or further education,both of which utilize occupational competency developed at the school.The following Cohasset students graduated in June 1973: Sherwood C.Ainslie,III Mark Koopman Mark P.Delaney William E.Ricketts 97 In May agreement for a two year contract was reached with Local 1896, American Federation of Teachers (AFL-CIO)after 6 joint negotiating sessions with the committee and its attorney.The highlight is a 5.5%salary increase in September of 1973 and 1974 when the range will be $10,708 to $15,561 with an average of $13,985. Progress toward proposing a definitive plan of expansion including opportun- ities for girls has been slower than the committee desired.Contact has been made with the Commonwealth's Bureau of School Building Assistance and an architect has been hired on a limited consulting basis to analyze the capabilities of the school's grounds for handling additional sewage.Studies are being made to deve- lop data on area demands for various occupations.This is necessary to insure that there will be a job market for all programs after the school has expanded. During the current year the cornmittee began meetings with the instructors for each trade and associated members of the Industrial Advisory Board.We learned about the problems in the various shops and had first hand reports from the advisors on the relevancy of a teaching program to the actual job.In general, we have found great satisfaction with the skills and job attitudes of our graduates. Suggestions for areas of change or improvement have been useful to the com- mittee. Dana Green,a student from Cohasset,has been an active member of the stu- dent advisory committee,which attends the committee's meetings. Sports at Vo-Tech have had a good year.The soccer team was second in the South Shore Soccer League.Hockey participants are building a good group hav- ing a junior varsity for early preparation.Baseball,basketball and intramural sports give all boys a chance.Dancing,too,has many participants. The students have been active in helping the community.A great drive for clothing and food was held to help the Chelsea fire victims immediately after that disaster in October. In Hanover,the boys are building quarters for the Hanover Historical Society in the basement of the Curtis Free Library.In Norwell,in out of school hours, boys are continuing the work with South Shore Natural Science Center by cutting out trail paths.For Norwell's Tree Department and Abington's Park Department, large trailers have been built in the metal fab shops.In Abington,the electrical department wired the building of the Veterans'of Foreign Wars new building.In September of 1974,a home will be built on Country Way,Scituate. A student initiated Driver Education program'is in progress and is well at- tended with students paying a major part of the fee.Remedial reading under the able direction of Mrs.Portia Mears has proved invaluable.Personal health infor- mation and needs for the present and future lives of our young men are ably su- pervised by Paul Blanchard of the Physical Education Department and school nurse Mrs.Frances Molla. For September 1974,plans are being made for an Entry Skill Program for boys 98 who were unable to get into Vo-Tech because of lack of space or requirements for acceptance.Rockland,a member town has asked for such a program.In 1966, there was a similar program but it was not successful due to poor coordination among the towns.This program would be after regular school hours and to be a success it will require careful planning and cooperation by member town school administrations with this school. The slower and less than normal payment and general uncertainty of reim- bursements owed by the Commonwealth is becoming a serious financial problem. Unless payments resume their legal schedule there will be further burden on the property tax.At year end the Region claimed approximately $350,000 from the State. The school,located on Route 123 one mile west of Route 53,welcomes visitors.Plan a visit so you may better understand what a valuable asset we have available in our educational system. Respectfully submitted, Sumner Smith,Jr. Cohasset Representative REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION The Recreation Commission counts the summer program as its most success- ful accomplishment of the year.Thanks to the school department,the Osgood School was available for rainy day activities and access to the lavatories. Field trips this year included Edaville,a boat trip to George's Island and Fort Warren,Southwick Animal Farm and to Battleship Row in Fall River. Friday's were beach days and the Eddie Pellagrini -Coca-Cola -W.H.D.H. Baseball Clinic was held at Barnes Field. Once again the tennis program was most popular.A fee was charged to sup- plement the Recreation's budget. Evening basketball at the Osgood courts was well attended.It appears the in- stallation of lights has been worthwhile as young people are frequently using the courts. Band concerts were enjoyed by all ages even when moved to the high school due to rain. This spring should see the installation of lights and playground equipment at Milliken tennis courts.Our thanks to those who have given their time and know- ledge in making this possible. In the future we hope lights will be placed at the High School tennis courts. Cohasset is lacking in public courts and without lights the great number of people 99 interested in this sport cannot be accommodated during day light hours.We would also like to see a centralized recreation program encompassing all ages.As it stands now each activity is under a different organization. Respectfully submitted, A.Patrick McCarthy,Chairman Hamilton Tewksbury Robert Knox Henry Young Edward Bates,Student Representative SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES I hereby submit my report as Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31,1973. A total of one hundred and twenty-five (125)weighing and/or measuring devices have been tested and sealed. The amount of One Hundred and Sixty Eight Dollars and Seventy Five Cents (168.75)for sealing fees was collected and paid to the Town Treasurer,Cohasset, Massachusetts. Respectfully submitted, Benjamin F.Curley,Jr. Sealer of Weights and Measures REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Surveyor for the year ending December 31,1973. In 1973,the Highway Department experienced the high costs of doing business, road materials,,equipment rentals,and costs of repairs were some of the soaring items.The coming year does not look much brighter. The budget for 1974 will increase less than 2%.This will allow the department to operate about the same. The department followed its regular maintenance program.In the spring, streets were swept,basins cleaned,street lines painted,signs painted and repaired. The work on Redgate Lane was completed as well as the much talked about Elm Street.I wish we had 45 miles of road just like it. In 1974,the drainage system on Linden Drive will be started.New pipes and basins will be installed. The structure at Cat Dam should be started.The State Department of Water- ways is working on the engineering plans.The $14,000.00 should complete the job. 100 One and one half miles of mix in place was laid on various streets and private ways and 15,000 gallons of liquid asphalt was used to seal different roads. There are two articles pertaining to highways this year.One is the bond issue which the town has received.It is in the Treasurer's Office.The other will be an article on State Aid.This article,if accepted,will take the place of Chapter 90. The state abolished the Chapter 90 program and replaced it with a State Aid pro- gram. I wish to thank the men of the department,town officials and the citizens who have helped me during the year.

In 1973 an engineering consultant was selected for the design of the Sanitary Landfill.The first phase of the project required a property line survey and topo- graphical survey,which are now completed.The design of the landfill utilizing the surveys is presently underway.Since the completed design will probably re- quire a substantial capital outlay and due to time limitations,we expect that the full operation as warranted by the engineering study will not be implemented until July of 1975.We would prefer that state wide funding and or programs be- come available to the local government to help defray the increase of expendi- tures anticipated.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS 1973 The Town of Cohasset in 1961 initiated a program for the development of a pubHc sewerage system with the submission of an engineering report to the Town. This report contained a phased program of sewer construction and treatment plant expansion to service the community's needs as well as alleviate numerous problem areas in Cohasset.To date,only a small portion (approximately 30 per- cent)of the original sewer construction program has been effected.The Town presently has approximately three (3)miles of sewers and a small (designed capacity of 72,000 gallons per day)biological waste treatment facility to provide treatment to waste water resulting from approximately 180 sewer service con- nections.This system has provided benefit to Cohasset by eliminating odor pro- blems in the village area,improving water quality James Brook and the inner harbor,and above all,is providing service to the residents of Cohasset. The Board of Sewer Commissioners has encountered an ever increasing involve- ment in the administration of the wastewater treatment system for Cohasset.Un- fortunately,major segments of the Town such as the Hillside Area,Route 3A Business Areas,the Sohier Street Area,and the Veterans Area,still remain as problem areas while the treatment facility will be at capacity when all 180 service connections are utilized.To service these areas,construction of eight (8)miles of sewers and a major treatment plant expansion will be required. The Board has presently under regulatory review a comprehensive plan for meeting the needs of Cohasset's future wastewater treatment requirements.Pro- gress in this area has been slowed by the enactment of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.This law has required expansion and elabora- tion of the engineering report submitted in behalf of the Town to both State and Federal regulatory agencies.Although the intent of this act was to improve the nation's water quality,compliance with its ramifications has actually resulted in a slow-down in the construction of wastewater treatment systems.The Commis- sioners,recognizing the need for expeditious action on its program for Cohasset, have encountered delay primarily due to regulatory review as a result compliance with the aforementioned federal legislation.Such delay can only result in in- creases in construction costs,with,in all probability,no major changes in the plan for the wastewater treatment. This year the Board has reviewed and revised its rules and regulations concern- ing such areas as sewer connections,sewer use,and cost recovery.Of particular note in these revisions is a sewer use charge based upon the actual consumption of water in each home or business connection to the sewerage system.Although this 105 will not result in a self-sufficient operation of the waste treatment system,it does provide an equitable basis for charges for this Town service.Copies of these regulations may be obtained at the Sewer Department at 43 Elm Street. •The Town is presently undergoing review by the Federal Environmental Pro- tection Agency for a discharge permit which is required under the 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments.The Town is operating its wastewater treatment consistent with the expectations of performance of a well operated secondary or biological waste treatment plant.In fact,the level of effluent qual- ity exceeds the requirements for such publicly owned treatment works and the Board of Sewer Commissioners do not envision any problems in obtaining a dis- charge permit.It will require,though,continued support by the townspeople to maintain proper operation and maintenance of the system.Federal and State re- gulatory dictates are exerting an ever-increasing role in local management of wastewater systems and compliance with such is resulting in increasing operational costs.It is felt that the Town is applying the best practicable control technology for its wastewater management program and the expansion of the sewer system and continued application of effective secondary treatment will not impair the water quahty of Cohasset. This year has brought about a refinement and re-assessment of the treatment needs of Cohasset. It is hoped that the up-coming year will produce some definition in meeting these specific needs of the community. Respectfully submitted, David B.Buckley,Chairman Rocco F.Laugelie Alan S.Murphy,Jr. 106 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE -1973 1973 was a busier and more complicated year for the School Committee than 1972;most members of the Committee didn't think that would be possible.Some of the more important events of 1973 will be reviewed in this brief report. Superintendent James Gray continued his work to develop and maintain a first-rate learning program for the Cohasset schools.In this effort he and the School Committee encountered both support and resistance,resistance which at times reached a point where it disrupted the learning process.One such case occurred in early spring,when the School Committee reached a most difficult and controversial decision not to renew High School Principal Richard Streeter's contract.This decision was unpopular with many and unsettled the High School. To fill the position of high school principal the School Committee interviewed many impressive candidates.After thorough review the Committee voted unani- mously to appoint Mr.Gino DiGirolamo as Principal.The Committee felt that he was uniquely qualified because of his background (B.S.from Merrimac College and M.Ed,from Boston University),his teaching experience (four years as math teacher in New Britain,Connecticut;fourteen years as math teacher in Cohasset High School,seven of those years as department chairman and three as assistant principal),and his thorough knowledge of Cohasset High School's faculty and students. Another major decision,made by the School Committee in April,was to sep- arate the junior high school administratively from the senior high school.The de- cision followed from the fact that the junior high student is at a stage of physical and mental development when he needs an environment that will foster his own identity,difficult to achieve in a "mini high school."This view is supported by the Committee,the Administration,and many parents.Had the junior and senior high schools remained as a unit,enrollments would have been too large to contin- ue the individual attention expected by Cohasset parents.In addition,the faculty in recent years has increased to a size that makes it difficult for one administrator to conduct thorough and meaningful teacher evaluations. In September 1973 the Committee appointed Dr.George Richmond as junior high school principal.Dr.Richmond received his B.A.from Yale University,his M.A.from New York University,and his Ed.D.from Harvard Graduate School. His teaching experience has been varied.The Committee was confident that he could design a stimulating learning program for the seventh and eighth grades and develop a new school that would meet the needs of this age group. A significant achievement of 1973 was the reorganization and implementation of the special education program.One major goal was to identify students who actually or potentially had learning difficulties;another was to develop proper student remediation and evaluation programs.To accomplish these goals required staff reorganization,involvement of additional specialists,and development of teaching teams.These steps will lay the foundation for meeting the requirements of Chapter 766,effective September 1974.Through the reorganization of the special education services we increased the reimbursement from the State Depart- 107 ment of Special Education from $57,882 received in 1972 to $214,763 in 1973. During 1973 the school system was in the midst of a 2-year teachers'contract that has been in effect since September 1,1972.Negotiations on the 1974 teachers'contract were just beginning at the end of 1973. The current teachers'contract seems strongly favorable to Cohasset teachers when measured against contracts in many other towns throughout the State.Yet the Cohasset teachers managed to file eleven grievances under this contract.They made no real effort to settle the issues within the system,but proceeded to take the cases to binding arbitration.Through December all decisions have been ruled in favor of the School Committee. Among the cases that have been settled in favor of the Committee are: 1.Group grievance —Right of the School Committee to eliminate the stipend and reduce the number of department chairmen and assistant principals. 2.Teacher —Right of the Conimittee not to reappoint a nontenured teacher. 3.Evaluation —Right of the Committee to adopt a faculty evaluation poHcy. 4.Change in school calendar —Right of the Committee to designate the day for professional improvement. Unprofessional attitudes and action on the part of the Massachusetts Teachers' Association and the Cohasset Teachers'Association characterized much of 1973. The Massachusetts Teachers'Association attempted to pressure one School Com- mittee member to resign by threatening his livelihood.This kind of behavior pro- duced only conflict,unhappiness and a poor learning environment during the spring of 1973.The Committee feels that most Cohasset teachers are professionals who desire to do their very best.We hope that the attitude of these teachers will encourage the growth of a healthy educational environment. The Cohasset School Committee wants to assure a strong,vibrant,and rigorous educational program that will provide the best learning experience for each child for each dollar spent.Children are not all alike;each may need a different kind of stimulus to gain the most from an educational experience;each is an individual with his own abilities and needs.But there is one goal that is the same for all the students,and that is to maximize each one's learning experience in the Cohasset schools.If all the townspeople,not just a vocal few,take an active interest in the schools,then Cohasset can be assured of an excellent school system.

The community,however,felt there still was not a sufficient check on the in- creased costs and requested at Town Meeting that further reductions be made. The School Committee followed through and recommended $102,000 in cuts. These were accepted by the Town.The cuts entailed the elimination of depart- ment chairmen in all departments with less than four teachers;standardized test- ing,except in alternate years,in the Senior High;instrumental music position; specialized services for the Child Study Team;one secretary and four teacher aides;and reductions in the athletic and student activities account. The problem of increased costs is still with us.As long as the support for schools rests chiefly on the property tax,it will continue to be a tremendous burden to the individual homeowner.As 1973 ended,the costs of materials and basic items such as paper,food,fuel oil and gasoline (if available)increased to as- tronomical figures;for instance,a barrel of oil costing $4.00 in January 1973 had increased to S8.00 a barrel in December 1973.These rising costs,on top of nego- tiated salaries for 80 percent of the school cost,require on the part of the com- munity some somber assessment to determine realistically what Cohasset wants for its schools and what it can afford. During 1973 the community and schools completed an appraisal of goals sug- gested by the State Board of Education.If the community's major goal for its students is the acquisition of knowledge and skills,then Cohasset rates average in some areas.But if Cohasset's objectives are aimed at the higher levels of cognitive development,that is,to have students who can think,analyze,evaluate,and con- struct new ideas and models,then serious gaps exist that will demand our atten- tion in the years ahead.We are concerned when the responses to one question in the goals survey,"What future and alternative programs would be developed should additional state funds be made available?"was simply "more of the same" or an expansion of existing programs.This philosophy cannot continue if Cohas- set is to meet its obligations to its children,the community,and society. Progress was made in the schools effort to provide for individual differences in students by considering multiple options for students,teachers,and parents. Changes were instituted to lay the foundation for a more personalized approach to education.The Osgood and Deer Hill Schools were reorganized into teaching teams to provide for the assessment of each student,thereby helping him make the most of his own capacities and interests.The student will be encouraged to assume increasing responsibility for making decisions about his own education. 109 New courses were introduced:"Man,A Course of Study",grades five and six social studies;Individualized Math System,grades three to six;extension of AAAS Science into grades five and six;Intermediate Science Curriculum Study in the Junior High;Prescribed Individual Learning System Math in the Junior High; expansion of Individually Guided Program,Senior High;introduction of Arts Advisory Council at Deer Hill;various mini courses,and a pilot program using a humanities approach to American studies,at the Senior High School. The approach to better budgetary procedures through a refinement of the Planned Program Budgeting Evaluation System was continued.Significant savings, approximately $2.00 on the tax rate,was achieved through this budgetary ap- proach in the state reimbursements received for the Child Study Team.The School Committee's policy of contracting services for music teachers,auto mech- anics,psychologists,social workers,and so forth,on an as-need basis rather than hiring personnel full time was the result of an analysis of program costs.By using the cost-comparative data from the P.P.B.E.S.budget,the School Committee is in a better position to make fiscal and program decisions and to formulate future policies. The second part of the 1973 school report is statistical and assumes meaning only as one compares it with data in other Cohasset annual reports. This year has been a stimulating one and I am deeply appreciative of the help and support from dedicated faculty members,the School Committee,and parents. I look forward to 1974.

Gray,and the School Committee in planning that would implement the School Committee's educational specifications.It was decided to plan a new facility as part of a campus-type development incorporating the Deer Hill School. This planning was effectively terminated in February,1973,when the Massa- chusetts School Building Assistance Bureau ruled that no further planning would be permitted until a bond issue for a sewer line to the Deer Hill site had been voted by the Town Meeting.The SBAB is the state agency that approves use of state funds in public schools. The Sewer Commissioners have reported that the earliest possible date that they will be prepared to request approval of a bond issue for the construction of this sewer line will be late 1974 to early 1975.Therefore,the School Facihties Committee can proceed no further at this time. Crowding at the elementary level continues to be a pressing problem for Co- hasset.In addition to long inadequate space for classroom use and many supportive services,cafeterias have been converted to classroom use,with the result that chil- dren now eat lunch at their desks in both elementary schools.
