The mandates of the Town Meeting have been carried through. 1.Preparation for the contract for dredging the Harbor. 2.The Drainage of Stockbridge Street. 3.Enlargement of Depot Court Parking Place. 4.Sale of land of Water Department on Ripley Road. 5.Curbing on Long and Jason Roads adjacent to the Com- mon. 6.Cohasset's share in the control of Insect Life in Straits Pond. In addition,the following projects have been studied and closely watched: 1.The progress of the problem of the Old Colony Railroad; many meetings attended. 2.A program of permanent street bounds has been estab- lished —17 streets now completed. 3.A study of a plan for the enlargement of Woodside Ceme- tery. A new Conference Room in the Town Hall was completed for use. The financial condition of the Town is sound.All buildings are in good repair and well covered by Insurance. The details of daily work in the management of Town affairs steadily increases every year,and the Board of Selectmen wishes to thank all Departments,Boards,Committees,and all groups of civic- minded citizens who have contributed of their time and effort to the solving of many problems.Co-operation of every citizen helps toward the efficiency and smooth running of our Town's organization.We thank you all.

Respectfully submitted, HECTOR J.PELLETIER, Chief of Police. 19 REPORT OF THE COHASSET FIRE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Gentlemen: I hereby submit the annual report of the Fire Department for the year ending December 31,1958. I am pleased to be able to report a marked decrease in the number of alarms for grass,brush and incinerators in the year 1958.This in part can be attributed to the weather but is mainly the result of the Townspeople obtaining a Permit for the Use of Fire in the Open.By obtaining a permit it eliminated the chances of fires of this type on windy dry days. In the year 1958 the Fire Department responded to 268 emer- gencies.Of this total 64 were Bell Alarms and 204 were Still Alarms. A summary of these alarms is as follows: Buildings 23 Grass,brush and dump fires 51 Aid to Persons,first aid,resuscitation,etc 16 Investigations of smoke,gas and hazardous conditions 34 Mutual Aid to Scituate 6 Mutual Aid to Hull 8 Mutual Aid to Hingham 9 Electrical fires,etc 7 Flammable liquids and gases 14 Needless,accidental or false alarms 15 Vehicles and accidents 12 Pumping cellars 44 No School signals 2 Miscellaneous 27 To extinguish these fires and handle the emergencies it required the use of 28,345 feet of hose and 548 feet of ladders.As well as the use of the smoke ejector,salvage covers and many more pieces of equipment. The following permits were issued: Applications for Permit to Use Explosives 36 Permits Issued for the Use of Explosives 36 Permits Issued for Fires in the open 1,335 Applications for Installation of Liquified Petroleum Gas 10 Permits Issued for the Installation of Liquified Petroleum Gas 10 20 Permits Issued for Storage of Liquified Petroleum Gas 10 Applications to Install or Alter Oil Burning Equipment 48 Permits Issued to Install or Alter Oil Burning Equipment 48 Permits Issued for the Storage of Fuel Oil 45 Permits Issued for the Removal of Underground Gasoline Storage Tanks 2 Radio Messages Received or Transmitted 1,351 Throughout the year inspections were made of the various public buildings within the Town.Conditions that required correction were sent to the appropriate persons for adjustment.The various school buildings were inspected and found to be in a satisfactory condition. The firefighting equipment and apparatus of the Fire Department is in excellent condition with the exception of Engine 2,a 1937 pump- ing engine,stationed at North Cohasset.The program of preventive maintenance was increased and is proving to be of value in keeping the equipment in the best of condition.Engine 3 was modified in the past year ...a larger water tank was installed and pre-connected \i/2 inch fog equipment added to make it more flexible and capable of getting water on a fire in large enough quantities to be effective.The usual routine repairs were made to all of the equipment to keep it at high efficiency. The buildings of the Department are in a reasonably good condi- tion in spite of their age.The exception being the Central Station which is no longer suitable to house the men,fire alarm equipment and the fire fighting equipment of this Department.No reasonable amount of repairs could be made to the building to make it suitable and in accordance with the Fire Laws of the Commonwealth.At Sta- tion 3 the oil burner was replaced and the heating system modified to make it safer and as efficient as possible.Again repairs as they became necessary were made to keep the buildings in repair. The Article which appeared on the Town Warrant in 1958 which provided that the Call Firefighters appointed after a given date would not be under Civil Service received unfavorable action in the State Legislature,in spite of the overwhelming vote it carried at the Town Meeting.This results in no change in the status of Call Firefighters with relation to Civil Service.The Division of Civil Service reported against the Bill and felt that another attempt to obtain men should be made through a special examination.This was done with unsuccessful results,just as in all previous examinations.My opinion is still unchanged in this matter and I still feel that to obtain men for the job of Call Firefighter in sufficient numbers and with the time avail- 21 able to serve the Fire Department that Civil Service lists will not supply them. For the year 1959 and the years following I respectfully make the following recommendations: 1.Replacement of the 1937 Maxim Pumper stationed at North Cohasset.This engine needs extensive repairs and alterations to make it comparable to a modern pumping engine.To spend the money necessary on a 22 year old machine to make it an effective firefighting tool is not in the interest of economy. 2.The replacement of the present structure housing the Fire Headquarters.This building long ago had outlived its use- fullness as a Fire Station.The floor space is far to small to accommodate the equipment and personnel quartered there. The building does not comply with the very laws that the Fire Department requires of other buildings.To spend the amount of money required to bring it up to acceptable standards and still not have sufficient room is foolhardy. 3.The addition of two permanent firefighters to the Department to compensate for the additional time off granted under the provisions of the Personnel By-Law and to provide the man- power necessary to operate the apparatus and equipment of the department. I would like to extend the thanks and appreciation of the Fire Department to Mr.Manuel F.Oliver for the manner in which he carried out his duties for the past 23 years. To Frederick L.Sullivan who resigned and to Nichols D.Migliac- cio who resigned to join the Boston Fire Protective Patrol my sincere thanks and appreciation for their services. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,the heads and members of all Town Departments and the many citizens who have assisted the department my sincere thanks. To the Officers and members of the Fire Department I would like to express my gratitude for the fine manner in which they carried out their duties and for the assistance they have given me in the year just concluded. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES PIEPENBRINK, Chief of the Fire Department. 22 CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT Did you receive your copy of the "Cohasset Operations Plan For Survival?"It was distributed on January 10th.Did you read it?Let's hope your answer is yes,and that you are doing what you can to pro- tect your family with survival insurance.The preparation of that plan,following the receipt of the State Plan,on which it is based, was the main event of the year.Any benefit will depend upon your interest and action. On May 4,6,and 7 our CD team shared in a national practice alert exercise.As in previous years,all Cohasset personnel who were needed in the problem responded faithfully (61 persons).The sec- tions deserving special mention are Communications,Medical,Wel- fare,Engineering,Supply,Administration,and Radiac (Testing radio- active fallout conditions).For the second year we felt seriously let down,as the efficiency of the local team was not matched by the higher echelons. Our equipment has been improved with the aid of Federal "match- ing funds"and with State help through the surplus property opera- tion.Uncle Sam shared in securing communications equipment:1)a transmitter for the Control Center,2)a two-way radio for Rescue Service,in the Wires Section,3)a Radiophone for the Fire Section. Through the State CD we secured from the Army surplus a 4 1/2 ton amphibious truck,known as a "Duck".For use in floods this is a mutual aid project,shared by 20 other towns located on the coast or in river valleys.The skipper,Clifford Dickson,deserves special com- mendation for his outstanding work in conditioning the engine,after mothballing,and in driving it from Toledo,Ohio,to Cohasset.The truck is owned by the Town and available for any heavy duty as needed by any department.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS To the Citizens of Cohasset: Your Board of Water Commissioners submit the following report of highlights of its activities during the calendar year of 1958. 1.Continued the firm policy of placing all unpaid water bills on Tax Lien. 2.Established a new method of billing non-residents to insure collection of their water bills. 3.Initiated action to protect the land adjacent to Lily Pond. 4.Provided system improvements within the framework of the operating budget. 5.Codified existing and new regulations to define departmental and customer responsibilities. 6.We are working with the Board of Selectmen in relation to the Ammunition Depot property to further protect our water supply.A request has been forwarded to our Representatives in Washington requesting that the Town be given the first opportunity of acquiring the property should the Navy decide to close the Hingham Ammunition Depot Annex which has approximately 831 acres of land in Cohasset. We command the Water Department personnel for their achieve- ments in the splendid operation of the Department during the past year.We also thank the citizens and officials of the Town for their cooperation and welcomed suggestions. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH PERRONCELLO,Chairman M.FRANK KNOY WILLIAM H.TAYLOR,JR.,Secretary 26 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To the Citizens of Cohasset: Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Surveyor for the year ending December 31,1958. The coming of Spring found the streets and gutters filled with sand and debris,left by the winter's ice and snow.This was quickly removed by the use of a Power Sweeper.The severe frost caused sec- tions of the roads to break up.These sections had to be excavated, graveled and patched. Catch basins were cleaned and drains repaired.12 standard Catch Basins were installed and 1500'of 10"and 12"pipe were laid. Many sections of fence were repaired and painted this year,and the setting of concrete posts,made by the Department,was continued. All the special articles assigned to this Department at the 1958 Annual Town Meeting have been completed: Installed curbing on Common. Drainage of Stockbridge Street. New Parking Area and the resurfacing of 1500'of sidewalk throughout the Town. Buttonwood Road was surveyed,drained,graveled,surfaced and bounded. A 6,400'section of Mix in Place was laid from West Corner to Linden Drive on Jerusalem Road,also a 1,200'section from Bow Street to Nichols Road.This re-surfacing program will be continued during the coming year. Chapter 90 Maintenance funds were used this year to help in the re-surfacing of Jerusalem Road. Chapter 90 Construction funds are available for work on Ripley Road. The Department has seven permanent men,four trucks,two of which have automatic sand spreaders mounted on them,a five ton roller,and a 1 10 c.f.air compressor.This year a Heating System and a Toilet were installed in the Municipal Garage. In closing,I would like to recommend that the Town of Cohasset purchase its own Tractor and Backhoe attachment.This machine 27 would help overcome the many drainage problems throughout the Town,and assist the Department in many ways. I wish to thank the town officials and citizens of Cohasset for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, LOUIS C.BAILEY,JR., Highway Surveyor. REPORT OF THE WIRE SUPERINTENDENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen and Madam: The following report of the Wire Department is submitted here- with: Seven new fire alarm boxes have been added to the Fire Alarm System,which makes a total of seventy-two in all. Due to the extensive building and new road construction,new Fire Alarm Box locations are necessary. The continued practice of testing one Fire Alarm Box each week has proved to be very practical. Grounds and other interferences have been cleared to assure positive operation of all Fire Alarm Boxes. Police traffic signals have been kept in proper operation and repair. All work performed by electrical contractors has been inspected and electrical wiring permits taken out for each job performed.All contractors have been very cooperative and no electrical work has been done without a permit.All payments of the standard fee for permits have been turned over to the Town Treasurer. All electrical maintenance and repairs of all Town buildings and Departments has been performed by the Wire Department. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to my Assistant and others,and to all Town officials for the cooperation extended to me. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD P.MALLEY, Superintendent of Wires. 28 REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN To the Citizens of Cohasset: All phases of good tree care have been carried out so far as possible so that our street trees present a generally good appearance. About twenty trees either dead or in dangerous condition were cut down. Roadsides have been cleared of brush where necessary,and all roadsides were mowed during the summer and some sections raked and cleaned up. Cooperation of the Highway Department has made it possible to grade and plant some sections of roadside. Seventy-six trees of appropriate species and type were planted during the year and large shrubs obstructing the view at the corner of South Main Street and Summer Street were replaced with low growing shrubs. The continued interest of citizens and the cooperation of all town officials is very much appreciated. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES, Tree Warden. REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens: I herewith submit my report for 1958. INSECT PEST CONTROL Increased efficiency of spray materials and equipment has made it possible to virtually wipe out the Gypsy Moth in this area and to control nearly all other pests to trees. Various sprays including insecticides and fungicides were used at appropriate times so that our trees were kept in generally good con- dition. 29 POISON IVY Poison Ivy spraying and Ragweed Control along our roadsides was continued as usual. DUTCH ELM DISEASE With the help of a crew of men from the Bureau of Pest Con- trol,Department of Natural Resources at no expense to the Town, all Elms condemned in 1957 were cut and cleaned up before April 1st. Seven barrels of 25%D.D.T.also received from the State reduced the cost of dormant spraying by about $500.00. All Elms which could be reached by truck were sprayed for bark beetles by May 2nd. One hundred forty-two condemnations of Elms were made in 1958,the lowest number since 1952.Of these only thirty-six were public shade trees. The work of cutting free falling trees will be nearly complete by year's end and a contract for topping 44 trees has been awarded. Citizens are again urged to notify the Moth Superintendent of any Elms showing sudden wilting or yellowing of leaves. With thanks to all citizens and officials for their interest and co- operation. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES, Moth Superintendent. REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT To the Citizens of Cohasset: Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project of its activities in the Town of Cohasset for the year ending December 31,1958. The Town of Cohasset appropriated |4,650 for mosquito control in 1958. The basic program of control continued to be based on drainage in the off-season and larvaciding of all areas found to be breeding 30 during the mosquito season.This program was supplemented by ground application of D.D.T.dust to selected areas during the period when the swamps were frozen.Fog generators and a mist blower were used to combat flying mosquitoes. The cumulative effect of the work of past winters has changed the work of the Project's crews.The winter dusting has stopped the breeding in many small places,making it possible for the crews to contend better with those left and to search for hitherto unnoticed spots.The drainage has eliminated some crew spraying and much air spray acreage,thus making it possible to absorb higher costs,deal with new breeding areas found or created,and yet lower the yearly budget requests,or at least,keep them the same. In the Town of Cohasset the following ditch work was done: brushing 150 feet,reclaiming 150 feet,cleaning 1875 feet and new ditching 250 feet.Further drainage work will be done this winter with funds reserved for this purpose. Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis did not appear in humans or horses in Massachusetts this year,nor were positive tests obtained from pheasants,one of the most susceptible birds.Research along basic lines continues at the U.S.Public Health Service Laboratory at Taunton. The spring spraying of all fresh water swamps too large to be treated by hand was done in the latter part of April.1000 acres were sprayed in the Town of Cohasset. As was done last winter,some aerial applications of dusts will be made.This procedure reduces the spring spraying which must be fitted into the few days in April suitable for air spraying. The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the Town and sincerely hopes that the benefits derived by these departments as a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the Project. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES, Commissioner for Cohasset. SI REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH To the Voters of Cohasset: The Board reports with regret the untimely death of Fred W. Sullivan on April 25,1958,who had served as a member of the Board of Health for thirteen years.On October 22nd,Dr.Howard S.Reid, Chairman of the Board,resigned because of illness.To fill these vacancies,Mrs.Rosemary Maclsaacs was appointed on May 7th and Dr.Richard B.Singer on October 29th.The present Board wishes to pay tribute to Mr.Sullivan for his many devoted years of service and to Dr.Reid for his energetic leadership as Chairman. The outstanding public health problem in Cohasset is sanitation in all its aspects.Without a public sewerage system it is essential that private installations be adequate and thus avoid the later nuisances and complaints which are not unusual at the present time.Some land in Cohasset is unsuitable for building from the standpoint of adequate private sewage disposal. In accordance with Section 2 of Chapter I of Rules and Regula- tions of the Board of Health of Cohasset applications for permits are required to be filled out in advance of all construction.A preliminary inspection of the property is made with a review of a sketch of the proposed installation,and percolation tests may be required to check the absorption capacity of the soil before granting a permit.A second inspection must be made previous to backfilling of the installed system. Prospective owners and builders may be saved needless expense and effort by applying for a permit well in advance of actual excavation or construction. During the year a part-time Health Agent has been hired on an hourly basis to assist the Board in checking individual sewage systems, doing percolation tests,etc.With an increased population and increasing problems the assistance of a professional Health Agent on a part-time basis is required to serve the Town adequately. At the time of preparation of this report,the Board is still engaged in a survey of the present public health and sanitation needs of the Town.The members are agreed that individual problems of sanitary inspection and control are increasing in number and complexity. The Board is reviewing all the many and voluminous sewage studies that have been conducted over the years since 1906;when the collec- tion of facts is completed the Board will be in a better position to make plans for the future. The Town Dump has been open seven days a week although it has not been possible to provide needed supervision on Sundays most of the year because funds have not been available.It has been necessary to bulldoze the accumulation of refuse over the edge on a weekly basis resulting in considerable expense to the Town.Garbage has continued to be disposed of at the dump,a health hazard in providing too excellent a diet to the rat population.Tighter control is necessary based upon minimum sanitary standards and what is most economical to the Town. Tuberculosis and communicable disease control,maternal and child health,and related health education are ably provided by our public health nursing service.The Board of Health purchases service from the Social Service League resulting in a combination nursing service.In 1958,Mrs.Olive Wheeler,Public Health Nurse was appointed Agent for the Board of Health in Communicable Disease control.There were 257 cases of communicable disease and 16 dog bites reported by physicians.Three cases of Tuberculosis discovered and now under treatment indicate that tuberculosis is still a disease causing havoc and requiring constant vigilance.Five premature births were reported. The Public Health Nurses made a total of 3094 visits to 1414 cases in 1958 for the Board of Health and spent 153 nursing hours in clinics sponsored by the Board of Health.The Well Baby and Well Child Conferences were conducted on the first and fourth Tuesday of each month with a total of 290 children seen.The triple vaccine immunization clinic held in the Spring for four meetings had a total attendance of 109 children.The total number of children checked in the roundup was 329 of which 168 had received their immunization by their family physician.There was one Salk Vaccine Clinic with a total attendance of 15. Because the Public Health Nurse follows up on all contacts of tuberculosis patients,there were 178 visits made to 65 contacts,all of which were X-rayed and reported negative.The Nurse provides trans- portation to the Norfolk County Hospital for diagnostic X-rays. All other transportation for clinics was provided by the volunteer transportation committee and the American Red Cross Motor Corps. Volunteers provided secretarial service at all clinics,and a volunteer Nutrition Worker was present at each Well Baby and Well Child Conference. There has been active co-operation between the Public Health Nurses and the School Health Nurse with follow-up on families of pupils having a positive Mantoux reaction.After graduation this group will become the responsibility of the Nurse working with the Board of Health. 33 Seven Board of Health Cases have received casework service from the Social Service League Social Worker.Three of these cases are still active and will be carried to 1959 for further service. The report of the School Dentist,under Board of Health respon- sibility,is included with the report of the School Department.

At its frequent regular meetings,the Committee has given atten- tion to each of the three important parts of our public education effort:the physical facilities,the teaching staff and the course of studies. In the matter of physical facilities,1958 saw a major accomplish- ment in the approval by the town and the start of construction of an addition to the Junior-Senior High School.This will be ready for occupancy by next Fall and appears now to put Cohasset in the fortunate position of having adequate school building facilities for the forseeable future.A change in population trends could change the picture,but the Committee at present sees no immediate need for additional building.Few suburban towns can say as much. In the matter of teaching staff,the careful,intelligent and often inspired selection of new teachers by the Superintendent has been combined with a planned program of appraisal and in-service develop- ment by principals,to give our school system an outstanding teach- ing staff.We believe Cohasset has a teaching force that is capable, enthusiastic,and devoted to the best interests of the pupils. In the matter of curriculum,our schools have made changes in course of studies,particularly in the High School to meet the apparent needs of our times.The program for college preparatory students has been extended at its beginning and end ...earlier introduction of preparatory subjects and advanced college-level courses for seniors. Equally,if not more importantly,the program for general students has been strengthened by increasing the offering and requirements in practical mathematics,science and English.We believe Cohasset schools offer a remarkably diverse course of studies that permits each pupil to grow in learning as fast and as thoroughly as he can. All these are sound,substantial accomplishments but they cost money.Adequate buildings,well-maintained require capital invest- ment and continuing support.A good teaching staff requires a fully competitive salary structure.Individualized courses of study require special teachers and intelligent guidance. Like many other citizens,the Committee has been concerned about these rising costs.Cohasset,however,has shown that it will gener- 40 ously support its schools when the need is demonstrated.We have considered each expenditure carefully but always with the knowledge that the proper education of each new generation is perhaps the major purpose and only hope of our society. Respectfully submitted, OSBORNE F.INGRAM,Chairman REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee and the Citizens of Cohasset: A report of the schools for the year 1958 must be a report of satisfactory progress,and at the same time note an awareness that there is always a danger in complacency.However,I do feel that there has been prograss in curriculum development,the provision of adequate facilities,a continuing improvement of staff coordina- tion,and evidence of growth of general public support. It was a year of championship performance by the student body on the athletic and academic fronts.The objective and subjective tests made of our student body indicate that we are on the right track; they are also some small refutation of the dollar-catching articles appearing frequently in the popular periodicals which attack public education.If such articles disturb any of our citizenry,I should be glad to discuss the points raised and at least present another bias. In general,they commit the fallacy of the loaded dice,begging the question and by the title giving a biased slant before a person has actually begun to read thoughtfully and carefully.In this brief re- port,I shall mention some things which I think deserve to be brought to your attention. The Elementary Grades The Ripley Road School,housing our Kindergarten and primary grades,enrolled 463 pupils as of October 1st.It was advisable to add one more first grade room because of the large enrollment.The entering Kindergarten is somewhat smaller than the present first grade,and the established pattern for the future is not discernible. The system of reporting pupil progress by parent conferences was ex- tended to all primary grades,and reports from both teachers and parents indicate that the time spent was valuable.The introduction of Speech Therapy has proven especially effective with the children at this level.I believe that a better program of Physical Education is desirable and necessary in the primary school and recommend that it be given consideration. 41 The Deer Hill School enrolled 324 on October 1st;these stu- dents are in grades 4,5,and 6.The third year of the operation of this school has emphasized the many advantages which were visualized by this type of organization.The development of a gradual introduction to homework has served to facilitate the adaptation of the pupils to Junior High School. This spring the pupils and teachers of the Ripley Road School purchased,and with the cooperation of Mr.Howard Bates,the Tree Warden,planted shrubs in memory of Helen L.Hudson,Prin- cipal of the school from 1927 until January 1957.The pupils of the Deer Hill School caused a plaque to be placed in that school to honor and perpetuate her memory,their first principal. Libraries have been started in both elementary schools.It is not especially effective to teach reading in the classroom if no reading occurs outside.The books which are now available,plus those loaned by the Paul Pratt Library,as well as some from the state,stimulate an interest in reading and,it is hoped,a love for good and worth- while books. The elementary schools have been participating in the "21 inch classroom",an in-school television program broadcast over Channel 2. The Parent-Teacher Association made this possible by presenting two television sets to the schools. The Secondary Grades Among the satisfactory achievements of the high school,two stand out.First,the excellent record of the graduating class of 1958; it will stand as a challenge to all succeeding classes.Members of the class of 1958 are attending the following educational institutions:The Massachusetts Institute of Technology,Harvard,Rensselaer Polytech- nic Institute,University of Vermont,Wheelock College,Bowdoin Col- lege,Smith College,University of Massachusetts,Bridgewater State Teachers College,Wheaton College,Regis College,University of Maine,Endicott Junior College,Garland School,New England Bap- tist Hospital,Hickox Secretarial School,and Wilfred Beauty Academy. The 1958 graduates received scholarships amounting to approximately §30,000 in value. Our second achievement is the success of the first venture with the Advanced Placement Program.Cohasset High School was one of 360 public and private schools in the country participating in this program.These courses on the college level are taught in high schools to able and ambitious students.Last year a full year's course in Calculus and Related Analytic Geometry,and a full year's course in English Literature and Composition were offered.Seven students of the graduating class took advantage of the program and passed the examinations administered by the College Entrance Examination Board.These courses and examinations do not effect admission to 42 college but enable the student who has qualified for admission through the regular high school courses to receive advanced placement and /or college credits.Students who were graduated in 1958 received ad- vanced placement in the following colleges and universities:Harvard, Smith College,and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.A member of the class was one of 53 students entering Harvard who was given immediate sophomore standing on the basis of advanced placement examinations.We plan to expand the program to include History and Science. A summer program was offered last year for election by students who were interested in Typewriting and Driver Training.Forty-seven students in Typewriting and 32 in Driver Education completed these courses successfully. The continuing reorganization of the curriculum went forward in the fields of Mathematics,Science,Social Studies,and English;so that the ground work has been laid for further development and reorganization of courses in these fields in the Senior High Grades. The Maintenance of the Physical Plant The program of modernizing the classrooms in the Ripley Road School was advanced during this year and much minor carpentry was needed to put the building in good condition.The walks around the school were resurfaced,and the grounds were made more attrac- tive.The staff of school janitors did an excellent job of summer house cleaning in all three schools. Addition to the High School The addition to the High School was started in May and has progressed on schedule.This will be completed in time to add much needed space,as the enrollment of our 438 pupils in grades 7-12 in the school has necessitated certain make-shift arrangements ivhich present somewhat less than ideal conditions.There seems to be no reason why the 14 new classrooms,shop,and cafeteria,as well as a larger library,two new laboratories,and an enlarged study hall in the old part of the building will not be ready for occupancy in September. Conclusion The cooperation of the teaching staff,the bus drivers,janitors, and our clerical workers has,as usual,been excellent and is much appreciated.The time and effort of the members of the School Com- mittee and the High School Facilities Committee deserves the appre- ciation of the community which they serve. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM RIPLEY,JR. Superintendent of Schools 43 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN The School Health Program has continued to expand with the rising school enrollment.A total of 710 physical examinations were performed during the last year by the school physician.Eighty-three of these examinations were in the pre-school clinics held in May. The ratio of referrals necessary for significant physical defects was simultaneously reduced indicating a good general health picture in our school population. Vision screening tests were given to all students from the first to twelfth grades with forty-eight new referrals for defective vision. Audiometric hearing tests were likewise performed on all students above the Kindergarten level with only fourteen failures recorded. These hearing tests were particularly helpful in that they measure accurately in decibels hearing deficiencies throughout the entire hu- man frequency range,a procedure not readily available except in a few specialized hearing clinics in the metropolitan area. The tuberculosis screening program was continued with patch tests performed on all students attending the pre-school clinic,as well as those in grades four and nine,and mantoux tests given to the seniors in the high school.All positive reactors were referred to the Norfolk County Hospital for x-rays and further evaluation. A Phychiatrist from the mental health clinic in Quincy has worked in cooperation with the teachers and principals of our three schools in an advisory capacity for many problems concerning mental health and student adjustment. Our plans for the future include the introduction of a diabetes screening test as part of the student physical examinations in the coming year and an increasing emphasis on parent participation in these sessions.To date we have had an excellent response from the mothers of the youngsters in the Ripley Road School but the attend- ance of parents at the examinations of our new pupils and of those in the Deer Hill School group could be improved. Any suggestions aimed at improving the health of our school population will be greatly appreciated for only with the cooperation of all will the health and welfare of our children be enhanced and thereby our own futures ensured in this rapidly expanding world of satellites and missiles. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT T.SCEERY,M.D. School Physician 44 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTIST To the Board of Health Cohasset,Mass. Gentlemen: The following report of dental operations at Ripley Road and Deer Hill School Dental Clinics is submitted for the period from January 1,1958 to December 31,1958. Restorations Silver Amalgam (with and without cement bases)576 Synthetic Porcelain 36 Anodyne 26 Extractions Deciduous teeth 167 Permanent teeth 2 Prophylactic Treatment 140 Miscellaneous Treatment 4 Examination without treatment 137 Usual clinic care was carried on against the world's mightiest disease —caries of tooth decay.Permanent restorations on permanent teeth were stressed at both school clinics. Pupils in the Junior and Senior High Schools received a dental certificate from the Board of Health requesting the signature of their family dentist by February 1st.This is the only method by which dental control can be established in the High School as there is no clinic care beyond the sixth grade. I wish to thank Miss James and Mrs.Rivers for their help through- out the year.

It is a regrettable fact that we are no longer able to supply the schools with the number of books they would like to have or with as frequent a turnover.The amount of work and number of books in- volved,together with the increase in the circulation of children's books directly from the Library,makes this impossible. 52 We have had to relinquish our usual Book Week activities as we do not have the space or the personnel to cope with the increase in the School population.We have,however,been able to carry on in a limited way our instruction in the Grade School and our Story Hour on Saturday mornings for the very young. As reported last year,I feel that with the increase in the School population and the enlarging of School systems,we should have some definite long range plans for enlarging our present facilities for refer- ence and study activities.In the meantime,an increase in personnel and extra shelving in the Young People's room will help alleviate present conditions. Continuous effort is being made to rid the Library of out of date material.This is a slow process because of the time involved and lack of adequate personnel.I believe we have a right to be proud of the quality and number of new books purchased but continuous effort must be put forth to enlarge our book supply and other facilities if we are to maintain and increase our usefulness to the town. The Beechwood Branch Library,under the able direction of Mrs. Constance Jones,supplies a place for study and reference work for the children who are unable to get to the main Library.An effort is being made to supply more up to date material for this purpose. The Library has again sponsored a group in Adult Education under the leadership of Dr.Hagler.This is a group of twenty-five to thirty people who meet every Tuesday evening for 11 weeks to dis- cuss Foreign Policy. We are grateful to Mrs.Hollis T.Gleason and Mrs.Charles Stenz for their volunteer help.We have received gifts of books and peri- odicals from various people,and the Amateur Garden Club continues to make the Library more attractive with its flower arrangements. Statistics for the year are as follows: Adult circulation 45,363 Juvenile circulation 31,422 Total 76,785 New registrations 475 Registrations withdrawn 335 Books added 1,292 Books withdrawn 1,654 Mrs.Wood and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Directors and Trustees for their continued co-operation and support. Respectfully submitted, SARAH E.HEYWOOD, Librarian 53 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD No new subdivision plans of a major nature have been presented to the Planning Board for consideration during 1958.There have been the usual plans not requiring approval under the subdivision control law,and these have added some 50 to 60 new building lots to those available for use. Three subdivisions approved in previous years have been com- pleted as to roadways and drainage facilities during the year and their owners released by the board.In each case the work has been done in accordance with Planning Board Regulations and the new areas are a credit to the town. In the broader field of assessing the town's needs and planning for its future growth,the board has just been informed as this report is being prepared that the Federal Government,through its Housing and Home Finance Agency,has approved our application for Urban Planning Assistance under Title VII,Section 701.This means that the board will start work at once with its consultant Mr.Allen Benjamin of Wayland on the first stages of this program which was authorized at the March 1958 town meeting.Citizens will be kept informed of the progress of these studies through periodic reports. The announcement that the Navy intends to close the Hingham- Cohasset Naval Ammunition Depot is a matter of very grave concern. Some 800 acres of this property lie in Cohasset and the area is de- veloped with roads and other improvements.The disposition of the property could have a far reaching effect on the town.Should it be acquired by a large scale developer it could,under our present zoning regulations,add some 1500 to 1600 new homes to the town almost overnight,thus practically doubling the number of dwelling units in the community.This of course would add a crushing burden in the way of new schools,protection services and other municipal func- tions.The Planning Board has contacted officials in Washington ask- ing that the town be kept informed of developments in this matter. Meantime the board would welcome any suggestions as to possible steps which might be taken to protect the interests of the town when the closing takes place. The Planning Board is grateful for the cooperation of all whom it has had the pleasure of dealing with during the year,both public officials and private citizens.Board meetings are held on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 8 p.m.at the Town Hall,and are open to the public. 54 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE PERSONNEL CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PLAN The Personnel Committee for the administration of the plan was appointed in April.The members for 1958 are the same citizens of the town who made up the Committee for the initial study. Meetings have been held on the first Monday of each month throughout the year at Town Hall.It is planned to continue this practice for the coming year.The Committee has been visited at these meetings by several department heads and other employees of the town for discussion and explanation of matters pertaining to the plan.All meetings have been open to the public and will continue to be. The Committee has kept up to date on wage levels and other conditions of employment in nearby towns and other towns in the state,and will be prepared to make recommendations to the Town Meeting on these subjects. Two members attended the annual meeting of the Massachusetts Municipal Personnel Boards Association in Framingham on Novem- ber 1. A great deal of valuable information was obtained such as com- parative wage levels for 111 different communities in the state.We were able to join in a day long discussion of Personnel Board problems. The Committee appreciates the excellent cooperation received from the heads of departments,other boards or committees,and all town employees.We have acted promptly on any requests made to us by them. The Committee is convinced after its first year of existence and activity that it has performed and can continue to perform a very useful function in the Government of the Town of Cohasset. REPORT OF THE INSURANCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Insurance Advisory Committee was created in 1953 by the Selectmen for the purpose of placing the responsibility of the Town's insurance in the hands of qualified insurance brokers.A complete survey of the Town's insurance was made at that time,and presented 55 to the Selectmen,with recommendations as to the type and amount of coverage necessary for a municipality.Individual policies were cancelled and rewritten on a consolidated schedule in order to provide more comprehensive coverage and to effect rate reductions.All Town buildings were appraised by insurance engineers and amounts were set at a realistic value,and with a common expiration date much clerical work was eliminated. From time to time the Insurance Advisory Committee meets with the Selectmen and department heads to review the Town's insurance requirements,and adjustments are made whenever necessary.Gen- erally speaking the Town is adequately insured,but we wish to call attention to the advisability of additional liability protection.The Selectmen,on advice of Town Counsel,presently carry liability insur- ance on all Town owned vehicles (except the Fire Department ...), the Town Hall,High School,Ripley Road School,Deer Hill School, Civil Defense Building,Government Island Buildings,North Cohasset Post Office and Fire Station and Milliken Field and Stadium....The Water Department Building and all operations are also covered by Liability Insurance.The Selectmen feel that the Town could claim municipal immunity in case of a suit involving any other property or equipment not covered by liability insurance.This Committee is not qualified to pass judgment on this legal question,but we feel that we would be remiss in our duty if we failed to call attention to the lack of liability insurance on certain property,departments and equipment within the Town. As taxpayers,we have attempted to keep the insurance budget in line,but for the sake of economy alone we do not want the Town to vote a substantial appropriation for a judgment due to the lack of liability coverage.This has happened in other local communities. We want to thank the Selectmen,all Department heads and espe- cially the Town Accountant for their cooperation and understanding in their dealings with this Committee. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF FIRE AND POLICE STATIONS In fulfilling its assigned functions as outlined under Article 37 of the 1958 Town Meeting your committee made a comprehensive and detailed study of the housing requirements for the Police Depart- ment and Fire Department of this town.Field trips were made to various municipalities.Engineers and Architects were consulted as well as a number of Police and Fire Chiefs in other towns. 56 The Police and Fire Chiefs in those towns that have recently con- structed joint housing facilities for both departments were dissatisfied and recommended against this type of building. the Cohasset Fire Station,was found to be unsuitable .for .a joint t and Police Station.In order to construct a joint building it The recommended site on Elm Street,while an excellent location for Fire would be necessary to destroy or remove the Red School ftouse now on the premises and occupied by the Civil Defense and tneCommunity Center Nursery School.It would also block the means of passage to the land in the rear which would eliminate the possibility of prospec- tive taxable property. Seventeen Architects were interviewed.It was their *coffsensus of opinion that two buildings could be constructed in place of a joint building with a small increase in cost.Therefore it was felt that a separate location should be found for the Police Station.The piece of land now owned by the town at Depot Court,which was also recom- mended by a previous committee,would make an ideal site. Based on the foregoing and upon the opinion of Town Counsel that the appropriation could only be expended for a joint Fire and Police Station the committee,in the interest of efficiency and economy, did not deem it advisable to expend the money appropriated or to pro- ceed further in acquiring plans for the joint Fire and Police Station. Therefore the committee submits the following recommendations for consideration at the 1959 Town Meeting: 1.That separate buildings be constructed as follows: a.Fire Station to be located on Elm Street at the town owned site of the former Osgood School and construction be started as soon as possible. b.Police Station be located on the town owned site of Depot Court,however,due to the current financial obligation of the town,construction of this project be postponed to a later date. 2.That the $5,000.00 appropriated in 1958 and not expended be made available for the use of the committee in 1959. 3.That the committee be continued and instructed to obtain preliminary plans and estimates for the construction of the Fire Station,and submit same at a special or next annual Town Meeting. 57 COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH THE SELECTMEN FOR THE ACQUISITION OF THE BEECHWOOD CEMETERY Tl,ie (pommittee has completed all work possible to the present time tmVFeels that it should be continued to assist,if need be,in the final Teeal acquisition which has been promised this year. JEq lo tti ,q io 7iiii Jf^PORT OF THE COHASSET INCINERATOR COMMITTEE The so-called Incinerator Committee,established by the last Town Meeting,was empowered to study the feasibility of joining with the towns of Hingham,Hull and Weymouth in a common joint enterprise for or with respect to disposal of waste,refuse and garbage by means of incineration and the joint construction,management and operation of incinerators according to permissive legislation that was then before the General Court. On October 14,1958,the permissive legislation was passed by the General Court.Under this legislation,Cohasset,Hingham,Hull and Weymouth may,by a majority vote of each town,establish a South Shore Incinerator Authority.The Authority,wT hen established, will consist of the Selectmen of the four towns who will then be em- powered to proceed with the building of an incinerator to which the towns will deliver their refuse and garbage to be burned.The money for the project is to be borrowed by the towns in amounts propor- tional to the populations of the towns. While incineration will be adopted sooner or later,the time of adoption will depend on many factors,the principal ones being the lack of further dump areas,the cost of incineration and the develop- ing sensitivity of the voters to the problem. Before the towns of Cohasset,Hingham,Hull and Weymouth will be in a position to vote intelligently on whether or not to create the South Shore Incinerator Authority,facts as to the costs of building the incinerator and collection and deposit of refuse and garbage at the incinerator must be determined by a competent engineering survey. Cohasset,being the smallest town of the four,is obviously not in a position to dominate the situation,but your Committee believes that we should hold ourselves ready to cooperate with the other towns in the development of an engineering survey which,when made,will 58 help to determine whether or not the four towns will move forward to create the Authority.We think that the best way to evidence our interest is to approve a small appropriation which will be ready for use when the other towns decide that the time has come to investigate the incineration problem. While no exact figures are available at this time of the cost of such an engineering survey,the Committee has estimated that if such a survey is made by Cohasset,Hingham,Hull and Weymouth,Co- hasset's proportionate share of such cost will not exceed $900.00. Your Committee therefore has asked you to vote for an appropri- ation of a sum not to exceed $900.00 which will be used for such survey only when and if the other three towns vote similar propor- tionate shares. It is thought desirable that the Committee be continued.

Meetings and discussions with the Waterways Division of the Public Works Department of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts have defined the project.Detailed surveys have been made by state engineers and the necessary soundings and borings obtained.Meet- ings with Scituate Board of Selectmen and abutting property owners have obtained the necessary releases and permission has been ar- ranged for disposal of the dredged materials.The project has been advertised by the Department of Waterways and it is expected that work will be started early in the spring of 1959.The State formula calling for allocation of $75,000.00 to go with $25,000.00 previously voted by the Town provides $100,000.00 for this work. A meeting was arranged and held with the United States Army Engineers and the dredging projects discussed.While Federal funds are not available at the present time the Committee has under study the overall improvements contained in the Federal project. To assure continued improvement and enlargement of Cohasset Harbour the Committee recommends that the sum of $15,000.00 be appropriated by the Town for this purpose to be used for further dredging if,as,and when other funds by the Commonwealth and /or the Federal Government become available.The same to be expended under the direction of the Board of Selectmen. Recommend Committee to be continued.

James. The invocation was given by Rev.William G.Sewell. The number of voters present as checked on the incoming voting lists was 370. ARTICLE 1.VOTED:that the Selectmen be and hereby are authorized and directed to appoint all Town Officers not required to be elected by ballot. ARTICLE 2.VOTED:that the reports of the various Town Officers as printed in the Annual Town Report for the year 1957 be and hereby are accepted. ARTICLE 3.To hear the report of any committee heretofore chosen and act thereon. Beechwood Cemetery Committee VOTED:that the report of the Committee as printed in the Annual Town Report be accepted and that the Committee be con- tinued. Committee to Study the Need for Additional Junior-Senior High School Facilities To the Citizens of Cohasset: The Committee appointed to study the need for and the plan- ning of additional Junior and Senior High School Facilities,has carried out the directive of the Special Town Meeting held October 7, 1957,at which time the need for such facilities was established and it was voted to appropriate the sum of $25,000.00 for the purpose of obtaining working drawings,specifications and firm bids. Upon receiving these bids it was found that the total cost for this addition was in excess of our estimate. After careful consideration of these bids and review of the specifi- cations,the Committee feels that a considerable amount of the bid in excess of the estimate can and should be saved in the best interest of the Town and without in effect changing the plan as it affects the Educational requirements,or the opening date of the addition. The Committee therefore has unanimously voted to reject all bids and to make changes in the specifications for rebidding. We respectfully request that this report of progress be accepted and that Article 7 of this meeting be postponed to an adjourned date at which time we will present a budget with firm bids. Harry H.Reed,Jr.,Chairman 120 VOTED:that the report of the Committee appointed to study the need for additional Junior-Senior High School facilities be accepted and the Committee continued,and further,that after all other Articles in the Warrant have been acted on,this meeting be adjourned to Monday,April 21,1958 at 8:00 o'clock p.m.in this hall.Article 7 of said Warrant to be then considered.

PARENTS,BE SURE TO RECORD THE BIRTH OF YOUR CHILD WITH GIVEN NAME IN FULL "Parents,within forty days after the birth of a child and every householder,within forty days after a birth in his house,shall cause notice thereof to be given to the Clerk of the Town where such child is born."—General Laws,Chapter 46,Section 6. Many times returns are made by doctors and hospitals before a child has been named.Make certain your child's name is recorded. SOME OF THE REASONS WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE RECORDED To establish identity;to prove nationality;to prove legitimacy; to show when the child has a right to enter school;to show when the child has the right to seek employment under the child labor laws;to establish the right of inheritance of property;to establish liability to military duty,as well as exemption therefrom;to establish the right to vote;to qualify to hold title to and to buy and sell real estate;to establish the right to public office;to prove the age at which the marriage contract may be entered into;and to make possible statistical studies of the health conditions. Your co-operation to the end that all births may be properly recorded will be greatly appreciated. Marriages Total number of marriages was fifty-seven,including those where both parties were non-residents of Cohasset.Thirty-four marriages were solemnized in Cohasset during the current year. Deaths Total number of deaths was seventy-seven,including residents of Cohasset who died elsewhere and non-residents who died in Cohasset. Of the sixty-five who were residents of Cohasset,forty-one were males and twenty-four were females.There were five delayed returns of death,three males and two females. 141 53 < cc On s H DC to 13~3 ^«fe u -.g/3 CO W .£ S S3 fl-S *2 S g ^c S3 • .5 to r Ui^ ^ OJ co <3J £ 4-1 U U "3 s 4 C 1 CO "ou <u It sh TO ^ho Jh >~ TO 3 JE 'cS 'S a;5 3 —CC OS Ci C CM CM TO e .sp'st a la >-^'S3 §^M 1^ to T3 ^ to C ..2 co r *'J^n .^ HphO w ^a-^^_« )hony) oper) ruglia tersonr\jZ <u <u c ^> ^2 £>\S3 >^+jWr^-3 ^'^> 5-1 t\O f—I ^ and Elizabeth }r. and Phyllis \ and Anne M.
