Your co-operation to the end that all births may be properly recorded will be greatly appreciated.

The members of the Board were happy to welcome Mr.Stoughton back to active work about the first of October,after his illness during July,August and September.We were not so fortunate in the case of Mr.Card,whose sudden death represents a great loss to the Town. The financial condition of the Town is sound.All buildings are in good repair and covered by insurance.Contracts for gasoline and fuel oil continued to be a saving and were renewed. Much more good work has been accomplished by various Depart- ments and Committees,the report of which may be found elsewhere in this book,or on file in the office of the Town Clerk.

Summary of Alarms and Emergency Calls BELL ALARMS 101 STILL ALARMS 251 Total 352 Buildings and Structures 25 Vehicles 22 Grass,Brush,Woods and Rubbish 72 Smoke and Gas Investigations 24 Flammable Liquids 8 Electrical 13 False and Needless Alarms 27 Mutual Aid to Scituate 6 Mutual Aid to Hingham 10 Mutual Aid to Hull 11 Mutual Aid to Norwell 1 No School Signals Sounded 9 First Aid,Resuscitation and Inhalation 11 Dump Fires 6 Lock-outs,Assisting Persons,Rescue of Animals 24 Washing Machines,Clothes Driers,Leaking Refrigerators 10 Pumping Cellars and Boats 44 Miscellaneous 29 STATIONS and EQUIPMENT Roof repairs were made at Station 3 and several windows were replaced in the apparatus room.Repairs to the heating system at the Central Station were made and a new oil storage tank installed.As the 64 three buildings housing the personnel and equipment of the depart- ment are old and inadequate it is difficult to determine the extent to which repairs should be made. All of the fire hose of the department was tested and inspected and replacements made as needed.It should be pointed out at this time that the department through the purchase of quality hose and proper care in drying is getting three times the normal life from its hose.The National Board of Fire Underwriters place a seven year life on fire hose.This department has hose in service that is twenty years old and still will withstand the annual test of 250 psi. The ladders of the department were stripped and sanded,adjust- ments made and refinished with five coats of spar varnish.White tips were applied to the ladders for safety and to aid in handling. Quite extensive remodeling was done on Engine 4 to gain more space and to facilitate the storing of the various pieces of equipment. The compartments were repainted and lights installed as well as the complete rewiring of the electrical system. Repairs were made on all vehicles as needed to keep them in top operating condition.Considerable repair to Engine 2,1937 Maxim, was necessary to keep this unit in service.It failed at or responding to three fires at which its services were required,and the brakes failed on a hill when returning to quarters from a fire and only quick reaction on the part of the operator prevented a serious accident from happen- ing.I point this out to show that from both a financial and an opera- tional viewpoint it is foolhardy to attempt to stretch the life of an already overage machine. PERSONNEL and MANPOWER The removal of the Civil Service requirement for Call Firefighters has been of tremendous value to this department.All companies are near to or at operating strength.Existing vacancies will be filled this year as men become available.Call Firefighters have been assigned to Engine 4 after careful consideration of the records showed the work that could be done by this Engine.This Company also gives us a pool of men that can be assigned to any of the several tasks at a fire without hurting the strength of the regular Engine and Ladder com- panies. The addition of two Permanent Firefighters is necessary if we are to be able to provide service on a 24 hour ..365 days basis.During times of vacation and illness the department is unable to man the five major pieces of firefighting equipment.This lack of manpower covers close to fifty per-cent of the year.It is most important that all vehicles be manned and able to respond to a call without delay.The 65 first five minutes of a fire is the difference between a minor fire and a major fire ...and more important the difference between life or death. RECOMMENDATIONS I recommend for )our consideration the following items which will help to make the Fire Department a more effective organization. 1.The addition of two permanent firefighters ..to be assigned to the Headquarters Station.This will provide sufficient man- power to cover the apparatus during periods of illness and vacations.These men have been included in the budget for 1961,as they have since 1955. 2.The construction of a modern,fire resistant Headquarters Station.This building should provide the necessary space for housing men and equipment,and further,should allow storage space for the many auxiliary pieces of Fire Department equip- ment. The above recommendations are made with the best interests of the Citizens of Cohasset in mind.The Fire Department is organized to serve you and your family in case of fire.At any time fire can strike at the lives and homes of any of us ..rich or poor ..young or old. A fire in the Headquarters Station would certainly be a serious blow to the fire protection facilities of the Town.The lack of sufficient manpower to operate the fire fighting equipment of the Department puts the Citizens of Cohasset in jeopardy.The Fire Department is yours just as the decision is yours. IN MEMORIAM Mr.Charles R.Stover Call Firefighter Assigned Engine 3 Appointed July 8,1941 Died August 21,1960 APPRECIATION It gives me a great deal of pleasure to express my thanks and appreciation to the Officers,Permanent Men and the Call Men of this Department for their cooperation and the manner in which they have carried out their duties is in the best tradition of the fire service. To the Honorable Board of Selectmen,the heads and members of all the other Town Depai tments and the many citizens who have aided the Fire Department in the past year my sincere thanks and apprecia- tion. CHARLES PIEPENBRINK,Chief of Fire Department 66 CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT On March 30,1960,I assumed the duties of Dhector of your Civil Defense Agency.Since that time I have attended several Seminars on the function of Civil Defense,its responsibilities and methods of the protection of people and properties in various types of emergencies. It is being strongly urged that each individual in this fast moving Missile Age provide their own SURVIVAL INSURANCE and not depend on Evacuation.The following suggestions are a MINIMUM FOR YOUR SURVIVAL in case of EMERGENCY. 1.If you have a cellar (mostly underground)improve it for a fallout shelter. 2.If you do not have a suitable cellar,consider building a fallout shelter.Plans may be obtained through your Director.This type of shelter is tax free. 3.Keep a supply of non-perishable food. 4.Keep a supply of fresh water in covered containers. For public sheltering we now have 6 shelters available in the Cohasset Annex of the Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot capable of sheltering 1200 people.14 more will become available within the year.These shelters will have improved ventilation and fallout filters when money is available.See Town map in Town Hall for direction to this shelter area. On May 18th,25th and 26th,a course on the setting up of the 200 bed hospital stored at the Cohasset High School,was conducted by the Training Officer from the Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency. 100 Citizens attended this course including 8 Physicians,3 Dentists, 13 Nurses,Laboratory Personnel,Xray Personnel,Home Nursing Stu- dent Graduates,School Teachers,Janitors,Electricians,Etc.In those completing this course we have a complement of people who could convert the High School into an Emergency Hospital with equipment comparable to that found in any hospital and adequately care for any emergency requiring hospitalization. During the past year we have had 15 calls for our Amphibious Duck,both from within the Tow^n and as far away as Quincy,for rescue and other em.ergency purposes.In a letter of appreciation from the Mayor of Quincy,the last paragraph reads,"Your Organization deserves much credit and it is an asset to your Town". September 12th brought another Hurricane,as severe as the Hur- ricane of 1954.All Town Departments,as well as others responded to this emergency and made a very efficient accounting of themselves. 67 A Control Center for Civil Defense Headquarters is being made. This will house our radio equipment and be a Central Headquarters from which to direct our operation in any emergency. In closing this report I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen for their cooperation during the past year,Mrs.Rosemary Maclsaacs for her supervision of the Emergency Hospital Training Course,the Skip- pers of our Amphibious Duck,all those who co-operated so effectively during the Hurricane,and all others who have assisted during the year. It is the intent to continue to build as strong an organization of Civil Defense within the Town,as possible,as an insurance against any eventuality,with the hope it is never needed.Federal Funds have been applied for which would defray one-half the cost of administra- tion.

On July 1,1960,the State submitted a uniform statewide drug price plan effective as of August 1,1960. Effective October 1,1960,there was an increase in Federal match- ing on Old Age Assistance from $42.50 monthly to $47.50 on each case. Total salaries paid to the Director of Public Assistance and Clerk, $7242.00,total reimbursement $3285.50,net cost to Town $3956.50. The District Nurse reports total of 39 visits to two cases during the year. HELEN E.SCRIPTURE,Chairman 68 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS The Water Department has continued its modest annual growth. Revenue committed in 1960 was approximately $104,000,while surplus was increased by approximately $12,000.We expect that the amount due the Town ($10,000)will be repaid from this surplus. The Board of Water Commissioners were disappointed that the developers of the proposed Shopping Center withdrew their plans to complete the project. In the year 1961 we will complete the repayment of the meter installation bond issue.This will permit us to finance other major system improvements.In pursuance of our long range plans for sys- tem betterments,within our earning capacity,we propose a number of worthwhile improvements for the current year which we hope will meet with the Town's approval. JOSEPH PERRONCELLO,Chairman Board of Water Commissioners REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR I hereby submit my report for the year ending December 31,1960. The Spring Street cleaning was done early,with a power sweeper. The catch basins were cleaned and repaired. Fifteen standard catch basins were installed.1400 feet of 10"and 12"drain pipe were laid.Many sections of fence were repaired and painted.The setting of concrete posts,made by the department,was continued. Sections of Jerusalem Road,Beechwood Street and the center of town were resurfaced with a substantial road mix.A section of Cedar Street was straightened,gravelled and sealed. 1400 feet of sidewalk was built on Beechwood Street and 4000 feet of sidewalk was resurfaced.Chapter 90 maintenance Funds were used on Jerusalem Road and Chapter 90 Construction Funds were applied to work on Forest Avenue. I wish to thank the Town Officials,Citizens of Cohasset and the men of the Highway Department for their continued co-operation. LOUIS C.BAILEY,JR.,Highway Surveyor 69 REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN The hurricane of September 12,1960,caused the loss by uproot- ing,or such serious damage as to necessitate cutting of twenty-eight street trees.Restricted root space and old injuries were the causes of most losses. Most funds available wxre spent in cleaning up and making repairs to storm damaged trees. Co-operation of the Brockton Edison Company,helped in the removal of eleven trees which threatened the wires,mostly on Linden Drive.These trees were killed by excessive fill or construction work. Twenty-four trees of suitable species were planted last spring and natural seedlings in suitable places are being encouraged to take the place of older trees lost or cut because of weakness. Roadside brush at various places has been cleared,and grass along the woodsides has been cut and cleaned up. I wish to thank all citizens and officials of the Town and particu- larly the Civilian Defense Director for their great help and co-operation during a difficult time. HOWARD BATES,Tree Warden REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT All trees were sprayed in early June with D.D.T.,to control chewing insects. Some later damage by Elm leaf beetles which seem to becoming immune to D.D.T.required later spra)ing.Special sprays were used at appropriate times for insects and diseases on particular trees. POISON IVY CONTROL Poison Ivy control was continued.Although large patches are eliminated,continuous control must continue on re-gi'owth or new outbreaks. DUTCH ELM DISEASE All Elms which could be reached,recei\ed a dormant spray of 12%D.D.T. Forty-nine Elms were found to have Dutch Elm Disease,and of these,only two were street trees,showing the results of past control measures. Rapidly wilting or yellowing leaves of Elms starting in June, should be reported to the Moth Superintendent. HOWARD BATES,Moth Superintendent 70 REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT 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 31,1960. The Town of Cohasset appropriated |4500 for mosquito control in 1960. The basic program of control continued to be based on drainage in the off-season and larvaciding of all areas found to be breeding during the mosquito season.Fog generators and mist blowers were used to combat flying mosquitoes. The drainage has eliminated some crew spraying and much air spray acreage,thus making it possible to absorb higher cost,deal with new breeding areas found or created,and yet lower the yearly budget request,or at least keep it the same. In the Town of Cohasset the following ditch work was done:3000 feet of ditches cleaned,1500 feet reclaimed,235 feet of new ditch has been dug.In addition,300 feet of brushing has been done to facilitate entrance to and passage along streams for the purpose of cleaning and treating streams and swamps. A mid-wdnter air application of 50%D.D,T.Dust was made in January and February in areas too large to do with ground crews.This is a pre-hatch treatment,which greatly reduced the early spring brood of mosquitoes.975 acres were dusted. A mid-winter pre-hatch dust application will be done with pack dusters in the Town of Cohasset.The amount of dusting and areas covered will depend on ice cover on small wet areas,as this is needed to make application.However,this Project has acquired a power duster and where we have vehicle access this will be used,without need for ice.Along with this and what might be left for spring spray, mosquito breeding should be greatly reduced when we come into the season. The Project will continue its drainage program set up for the Town of Cohasset as it feels this to be the best long range and certain method of getting control over mosquitoes. 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 co-operation are as great as those derived by the Project. 71 REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION Submitted herewith is the report of the Recreation Commission of it's activities in the Town of Cohasset for the year ending December 31,1960. 1.Construction of Pony League baseball diamond at the Beech- wood Ball Park. 2.The recreation program at the Beechwood Ball Park is in its second successful year.This program operated for a six week period and served an overall attendance of 960 children,or an average of 40 children per day.An attendance increase of 250 children. 3.The marsh grass and vegetation have been burned from the skating area of the Elms Meadow,and commitments have been made to clear and level the marsh tufts to make a skating area. 4.The recreation program at Hull Street Playground was con- tinued in co-operation with Hingham,as it has been in the past. We wish to thank the townspeople,officials,and departments for their help and co-operation to make all this possible. COHASSET RECREATION COMMISSION WARREN H.WILLIAMS,Chairman REPORT OF THE FIRE AND POLICE STATIONS BUILDING COMMITTEE At the 1960 Annual Town Meeting the citizens of Cohasset, following the rejection of the plans then submitted for Fire and Police Stations,instructed this Committee to restudy the plans with the view of lowering the construction costs and simplifying the design. The Architects Messrs.,Studds and Mathews were instructed by the Committee to prepare two preliminary plans,one for a single building to accommodate both Fire and Police Departments and one for separate building accommodations.They were further instructed to use the utmost in design simplification with the minimum of space requirements in keeping with efficient operations. The plans to be submitted by the Architects will be presented to the citizens of the Town at the 1961 Annual Town Meeting with the Architects rough estimates of construction costs. In the event either plan meets with the approval of the Citizens of Cohasset an appropriation will be asked for the completion of work- ing drawings and specifications which would then enable the Com- mittee to obtain firm bids for presentation at a future special Town Meeting.

The ban on swimming extended from June 9 to July 28 th. Professional Personnel from Mass.Dept.of Public Health have been to Cohasset at least once a month for consultation on sanitation. Individuals have been requested to provide Sanitary Engineering plans for unusually difficult sewage disposal problems. A plumbing code adopted by the Board on October 3rd went into effect on December 1,1960.Mr.Edwin Pratt and Mr.Charles Patrolia were appointed temporary plumbing inspectors until a Civil Service examination is scheduled and a permanent appointment can be made. One permit was issued for new construction in the month of December. 73 Food and Restaurant Sanitation: Inspections 33 Swabs of dishes and utensils ...71 Milk samples (lab.exam.)10 Several food-handling establishments have started using sanitiz- ing rinses for dishes and silverware to produce lower bacterial counts. In general,good sanitary practices are observed in preparation,stor- ing,and serving food to the public. In relation to the regulation adopted by the Board requiring a chest x-ray of all food handlers every three years,a mobile chest x-ray unit (Norfolk County TB and Health Association)came to Cohasset on April 29th and a total of 765 persons had chest x-rays,all of which were reported negative for tuberculosis.Some interested citizens and personnel at Kennedy's are included in this total number.By the end of the year,with few exceptions,all food handlers had complied with this regulation.At a meeting of the Board on September 26th,it was unanimously voted that a negative tuberculin (mantoux)test would be an acceptable alternative to a negative chest x-ray report. All nursery schools have been inspected and licenses granted. TOWN DUMP A new Gravely tractor was purchased in April and its use by Supt. Manual Silvia has reduced the need for more expensive bulldozing and has allowed better maintenance of the dumping surface.The surface of the dumping area has been completely re-covered and re-graded. The contract for garbage storage in four watertight containers stationed at the dump was inaugurated on April 1st.The garbage is removed twice weekly and transported outside Cohasset boundaries. As a result,there is very little garbage now on the open dump,the ground is not soggy with decaying garbage,and with the continuing rat control program,the rat population is reduced. At no expense to the Town,Mr.Silvia has erected a new cabin for the shelter of equipment and supplies. COMMUNICABLE DISEASES Following is a table of communicable diseases declared dangerous to the public health reported during the year. Chicken Pox 158 Mumps 185 Dog Bite 21 Scarlet Fever 7 Encephalitis 2 Streptococcal Throat 4 74 German Measles 11 Syphilis 2 Measles 25 Gonorrhea 1 Meningitis 1 Mononucleosis 3 Total 422 The Board reminds physicians and householders that it is their legal and moral responsibility to report all communicable diseases and dog bites to its office as they occur. Flu Vaccine Clinic held on January 27th (single booster dose) Dr.Howard S.Reid officiating for Town personnel 43 Dr.Robert T.Sceery officiating for School personnel 124 167 There was a charge of $1.00 per injection to cover the costs of vaccine and service. The Board assisted a committee of Cohasset physicians in the Polio Vaccine Clinic held on January 30th.A total of 164 injections were given at a cost of $1.50 per injection to cover costs of vaccine and service. In May,the Mass.Dept.of Public Health advised the Board that free polio vaccine would be available from the State Biological Laboratories as are other biological products for protection against disease.The Board estimates that approximately 70%of Cohasset population have had immunization against polio.Children attending the Well Baby and Well Child Clinics receive their immunization routinely or from their family physicians. A Rabies Vaccine Clinic for dogs was held on June 18th with Dr. Matthew Carr,Animal Inspector,officiating.76 dogs received an injec- tion of rabies vaccine.Charge of $1.00 injection was made to cover cost of vaccine and service.

GORHAM L.BATES,Sealer 76 REPORT OF THE PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY The following is an excerpt from a letter received from the Divi- sion of Public Libraries on November 13th: "Chapter 760 of the Acts and Resolves of 1960 is the new law providing for state aid for public libraries.The bill was signed by Governor Furcolo on Thursday,November 3rd,1960.Since the law has an emergency preamble,it becomes effective immediately. Requirements for the implementation of the legislation are being prepared.Following their adoption by the Board of Library Commis- sioners,the requirements,regulations,and all pertinent materials relating thereto will be forwarded to each library from this office. The first grant-in-aid payments to local municipalities will be made sometime between January and June 30,1961,on the basis of 1960 U.S.census population figures and 1960 fiscal or calendar year municipal appropriations for local public libraries." In June of 1960 the Librarians attended the International Confer- ence of Librarians and Trustees at Montreal,Canada.This was an interesting and stimulating experience enabling us to obtain a more comprehensive perspective of our work as Librarians and our Library as a unit.We have also attended the regional meetings of the Massa- chusetts Library Association,special meetings concerning the above library legislation,and Mrs.Wood has attended meetings for Chil- dren's Librarians. The regular activities of the Library have been carried on as usual during the year.In order to keep our book collection up to date and in good condition we are systematically going through the different classifications and discarding out-dated,unreadable material.Because of our small staff this will have to be done over a rather long period of time. Statistics for the year are as follows: Adult circulation 45,600 Juvenile circulation 32,200 Total circulation 77,800 New registrations 465 Registrations withdrawn 446 Books added 1,495 Books withdrawn 1,184 SARAH E HEYWOOD,Librarian 77 PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY Financial Report for Year Ending December 31st,1960 RECEIPTS Balance January 1,1960 $66.55 Town Appropriation 20,600.00 Income from Investments 355.67 Cohasset Free Public Library 275.00 Fines,fees,etc 1,621.81 Books sold 210.00 Insurance Adjustment 15.80 $23,144.53 EXPENDITURES Books and Magazines $3,337.45 Heating and Lighting 1,059.07 Insurance 494.98 Conventions,Dues,Fares,etc 423.65 Postage,Printing,Stationery 295.73 Rent-Beechwood Branch 300.00 Repairs and Maintenance 1,478.62 Supplies 891.61 Telephones 224.06 Social Security 375.76 SALARIES Librarian $4,300.00 Assistant Librarian 3,900.00 Library Clerk 2,115.99 Beechwood Branch Librarian 925.00 Janitor ,1,300.00 Treasurer 400.00 Helpers and Substitutes 1,181.37 Balance on Hand Jan.1,1961 141.24 $23,144.53 PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY Securities held as of December 1st,1960 $1,000.American Tel.&Tel.Co.Bond 234s of 1980 M-89-888 $1,000.American Tel.&Tel.Co.Bond 23/4s of 1980 M-89-889 $1,000.American Tel.&Tel.Co.Bond 25^s of 1986 M-66-577 $1,000.American Tel.&Tel.Co.Bond 43/^s of 1985 M-155-273 $1,000.Central Power &Lt.Co.Bond 3i/^s of 1973 M-9630 78 $1,000.Central Power &Lt.Co.Bond Si/^s of 1973 M-9631 $1,000.Eastern Gas &Fuel Asc.Bond 3i^s of 1965 CM-30790 $1,000.Eastern Gas &Fuel Asc.Bond 3i/^s of 1965 CM-30791 $2,000.Winter Hill Fed.Sav.Sc Loan Ass'n Paid Up Certificate #1915 $727.42 Deposit in Cohasset Savings Bank -Book #11284 HARRIOT EUSTIS PRATT BEQUEST $5,000.U.S.Treasury Note 334%due Nov.15,1962 #5772 $10,000.U.S.Treasury Note 33/4%due Nov.15,1962 #15443 $10,000.U.S.Treasury Note 33/^%due Nov.15,1962 #16238 $10,000.U.S.Treasury Note 334%due Nov.15,1962 #16239 75 Shares Am.Tel.Sc Tel.Co.stock -certificate #B00-8172 $3,087.41 Deposit in Cohasset Savings Bank -Book #22826 HAROLD F.BARNES,Treasurer REPORT OF THE COHASSET FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY STATEMENT OF INCOME AND EXPENDITURES For the year ending December 31,1960 Cash on Hand Jan.1,1960 $408.41 INCOME Investments $835.70 Savings Bank Interest 685.70 Sale of Fractional Int.on Cap.Stock 53.88 1,575.28 EXPENDITURES 1,983.69 Insurance on Books $172.80 Books Purchased 1,005.09 Safe Deposit Box 6.60 Bank Service Charge 2.16 Support Paul Pratt Memorial Library 275.00 1,461.65 Balance Dec.31,1960 522.04 Cash on Hand Dec.31,1960 New England Trust Co $522.04 79 SCHEDULE OF INVESTED FUNDS AND SAVINGS BANK ACCOUNTS December 31,1960 Bonds (face value) Commonwealth Edison Co.4i4%1988 $5,000.00 Mountain States Tel.Co.43/^%1988 4,000.00 New York Central R.R.5%2013 1,500.00 Pacific Gas &:Elec.Co.4i/4%1986 3,000.00 $13,500.00 Shares 51 Shares First Nat.Bank Boston 24 Shares Rockland Atlas Nat.Bank Boston Savings Banks Cohasset Savings Bank $9,372.23 East Weymouth Savings Bank 4,146.82 Hingham Savings Bank 2,560.00 Quincy Savings Bank 3,606.24 Cohasset Savings Bank,Elizabeth F.Underwood Bequest . . 1,000.00 New England Trust Co 300.00 $20,985.29 LLOYD C.TROTT,Treas. REPORT OF THE WIRE SUPERINTENDENT The following report of the Wire Department is submitted here- with: All work performed by licensed electricians has been carefully inspected,and permits taken out for work performed have been filed with the Town Accountant. Four new fire-alarm boxes have been added to the Fire Alarm System and more are to be added.The spacing of some boxes are much too far apart and this condition is gradually being corrected. Five and one half miles of new copper-weld Fire Alarm wire has been installed to replace old iron wire which has been eaten away by salt air.New cross arms and hardware have been replaced where necessary. Due to hurricane Donna and other storms much of the water front wires had to be replaced. 80 Civil Defense machines and equipment have been properly tested and repaired. All electrical work for Town-owned buildings and Departments is performed by this Department.This function is a substantial savings yearly. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all Town Officials and others for the co-operation extended to me. EDWARD P.MALLEY,Superintendent of Wires REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The growth of the Town maintained the same pace as in recent years with the creation of approximately 85 new house lots during the year. The two plans requiring approval under the Subdivision Control Law were approved.One was of Brewster Road off Rt.3A near the Scituate line.Twenty-one lots were laid out.The other was a division of the McElwain property on Atlantic Avenue into three lots. After a lapse of 6 months a contract was executed by the State Department of Commerce for the continuation of the Master Plan Studies.Preliminary reports have been received from the work done under the first contract. In order that the Town may get the most out of these reports considerable study will be required.Several citizens have responded to an appeal for help in this study by forming an Advisory Planning Council.This Council will study the various reports and help the Planning Board formulate its recommendations to the Town. The Board wishes to thank the Selectmen,and all the other boards and departments of the Town for their cooperation and assistance throughout the year. ALBERT HABERSTROH,Chairman REPORT OF THE COHASSET INCINERATOR COMMITTEE During the past year,new legislation was enacted by the General Court whereby a South Shore Incinerator Authority could be created by the joint action of Cohasset,Hingham,Hull and Weymouth,or any two or three of these towns that may be contiguous.This was a change from the previous situation in which all four towns had to join 81 together.Under the new legislation,it is possible,for example,for Cohasset to join with Hull to the exclusion of Hingham and AVey- mouth.The Committee understands that Hull at its 1960 Town Meet- ing appropriated S900.00 for use by its Incinerator Committee to engage in joint action with Cohasset or Hingham or ^Veymouth to investigate the feasibility of an incinerator,but to date no suggestions of joint action have been made to your Committee by the Hull Com- mittee. During 1960,the towns of Scituate,Norwell,Hanover and Marsh- field had some meetings for the purpose of considering the desirability of investigating the incineration question.No enabling legislation as of the time of this Report has been filed to authorize these four towns to join together to form an incinerator authority.Since Cohasset borders on Scituate,it seemed desirable to your Committee that in any such proposed new legislation Cohasset be included.If this were accomplished,it would make it possible for Cohasset to join either with the Hull,Hingham and \Veymouth gioup or the Scituate,Nor- well,Hanover and Marshfield group.A request has,therefore,been made by your Committee to the Scituate,Norwell,Hanover and Marsh- field group to the effect that if they decide to file legislation asking for permission to establish an incinerator authority,Cohasset be included as one of the towns.This in no way obligates Cohasset to do anything, but it leaves \our Committee free to co-operate with either group as it may seem expedient. In anticipation of enabling legislation for the new group of Cohas- set,Scituate,Norwell,Hanover and Marshfield,your Committee has placed an Article in the Warrant which,if approved,will expand the authority of the Committee to co-operate in an engineering sur\'ey either with the group of towns to the south of us or with Hull,Hing- ham and Weymouth.In other words,the Incinerator Committee now seeks authority to use at its discretion the $900.00 which was appro- priated for its discretionary use at the 1959 Meeting in connection with possible engineering surveys to be made jointly with adjacent towns for developing all the facts and figures necessary to present the full picture of incineration to a subsequent Town Meeting for considera- tion at that time. The developments during the past year in the field of incineration throughout Massachusetts indicate,in your Committee's opinion,that it is only a matter of time before incineration becomes the generally accepted method for disposal of waste and garbage.Cohasset,how- ever,is still too small a community to justify having its own incinerator. It is thought that the Committee should be continued. COHASSET INCINER.\TOR COMMITTEE C.YARDLEY CHITTICK,Chairman 82 REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Personnel Committee has faithfully administered for the current year the provisions of the Personnel By-Law adopted by the Town at the Annual Town Meeting of March,1958,and is prepared to make recommendations to the Town Meeting in March of 1961. Regular monthly meetings were held in the Town Hall on the first Monday of each month throughout the entire year.Many special meetings were also held,especially during the months of October, No^ember and December.All of these meetings have been open to the citizens of Cohasset,and the Committee appreciates the interest shown by the visitors at the meetings as well as the assistance rendered by them. A review of the duties of all positions subject to the Plan was made during the year,and the changes have been recorded and taken into consideration for the recommendations to be presented at the Annual Town Meeting. The Committee has continued its membership in the Personnel Boards Association of Massachusetts,has attended its meetings,and re- ceived information on wage rates and other such matters for 209 towns and municipalities in the Commonwealth for study and use.It has made a careful personal study of wages and working conditions in our neighboring towns and many other towns in the Commonwealth.Dis- cussions have been entered into with Cohasset Town officials,depart- ment heads,other committees and many departmental employees. With these and other activities the Committee has kept in close touch with the requirements and relative position of the Town and its employees on all matters pertaining to wages,benefits and other sub- jects relating to the Personnel By-Law. EDWARD J.DILLON,JR.,Chairman REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER The Season of 1960 has been one of Cohasset Harbor's busiest Seasons.With our late Spring Dredging,many inconveniences were caused.This was overcome with the outstanding co-operation of all the Boat Owners.We did not want this inconvenience,so late in the Spring Boating Season,but we had to take this Federal Aid for the first time in Cohasset History,when it was available. At this time,I wish to thank all those people who helped in the effort of receiving this Federal Aid. 83 A\'e must coi-nmend The Selectmen,for their great effort in secur- ing the money for this Dredging.Also,The Cohasset Harbor Com- mittee who worked with them.Much credit must be given to Clifford Dixon,in the large job he did on moving Yacht Club Moorings. For the future,I highh recommend that we do evei7thing pos- sible to Dredge the Cove section of the Harbor,which if not done in the next two years,will become unusable at low tide.This will mean the relocation of about 20 Moorings. The Border St.Float will have to be extended to accommodate the influx of Boating and Lobster Fishermen. The Government Island Pier and Float,is in deplorable condition, at such a state it either must be condemned,as far as Public use,or entirely rebuilt very soon. I feel that Patrolling of the Harbor at proper times,has been a big factor in keeping the Harbor under proper control. I wish to thank The Board of Selectmen,for their co-operation in carrying out my duties. EDWARD J.ANTOINE,Harbor-Master REPORT OF THE HARBOR IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE The committee is pleased to report that during 1960 the harbor and its approaches were dredged to provide much needed depth of water for safe navigation and a substantially increased anchorage area for the increasing numbers of boats that moor in the harbor. The pier at Government Island is in constant need of study and repairs.The new committee will investigate the problem and make recommendations. It is hoped that additional Federal funds will be made available from time to time so that the inner harbor co^ering the area between Kimball's and Hugo's as well as extensions to the work that has been done in Bailey's Creek can be dredged,as soon as possible. Thanks are due to the diligence of our Selectmen and to the inter- est of our townspeople for the successful completion of this dredging operation.

Our school population in 1960 rose from 1315 to 1427,one of the largest yearly increases.A kindergarten class of 141 gave warning that additional classroom needs are not far off.With this in mind,the School Committee asked and received authorization from the Town Meeting for the establishment of a permanent School Facilities Com- mittee to undertake continuous and long-range planning for future needs.This committee has organized and entered upon its work.The increased enrollment in our High School also required the addition of five new teachers last Fall. As significant as the growth of our schools has been the steady advancement in what is expected of them,particularly of our high schools.This has led to the earlier introduction of foreign languages, mathematics and science,and the raising of standards of achievement by high school students in all fields.This has required more and bet- ter teachers. While the increased expectations are more noticeable in the col- lege preparatory field,we are trying to give equal attention to stu- dents with other talents and interests.This is reflected in our partici- 145 pation in the South Shore Regional Vocational School project.In another area,the greater service expected of our public schools has resulted in a new program for the slow,as well as the rapid learner. The School Committee is perhaps more acutely aware than even the most economy-minded citizen,of the increased costs that the larger enrollment and heightened demands are imposing on us.Everything is more expensive,and we are being called upon for more and better quality of everything in public education.Here we have tried to be pru- dent but not short-sighted.We prefer to judge from Cohasset's record that it recognizes the role of good public education as the keystone of our society.It has generously supported the schools in the past and we are trying to make them worthy of continued generous support in the future. OSBORNE F.INGRAM,Chairman REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS During the past year continued attention has been given to pupil placement.The aim has been to improve conditions so as to obtain maximum results with each individual pupil.In the elementary grades,three through five,pupils are regrouped according to ability and achievement in reading,arithmetic,and spelling.Results of stand- ardized tests have clearly indicated the advantages of this homogene- ous grouping.Each grade also does its work in other areas where heterogeneous grouping seems to offer certain advantages.At the secondary school level continued refinement of the criteria for place- ment is resulting in the better adaptation of instructional methods to meet the needs of all pupils. Courses of study at all levels are constantly examined by the administration and the faculty.In the high school the course of study in each subject area offered was completely revised during the past year.A self evaluation program for the high school has been started in anticipation of an evaluation in 1961 by the New England Associa- tion of Schools and Colleges.The elementary schools have started to organize a revision of their courses of study in arithmetic and science. Expansion of our activities in science,foreign languages,mathematics and guidance has been possible during the past year by grants of money under Public Law 864,known as the National Defense Act.This money enabled us to procure added equipment and source materials. The amounts allocated to the different areas were as follows: $1,241.46 —guidance 326.62 —physics 317.50 —biology 146 259.20 —mathematics 377.62 —languages 160.08 —elementary mathematics At the high school,summer classes were conducted in typewriting, driver training,and English composition.The policy is to offer courses in driver training and typewriting for those students who could not enroll during the regular school year,as well as to offer remedial work in areas where a specific need exists. The French program in the elementary school has been expanded and we are still utilizing the television program on Channel 2 as a basis for instruction.We are investigating further help for those few who are having extreme difficulty in their reading and have engaged a consultant from the Massachusetts General Hospital Language Clinic. I feel that our professional staff is of the highest quality,and that they are a dedicated group of men and women who are working hard and achieving excellent results.During the past year,thirty-one of our teachers,in addition to their regular duties,have been enrolled in fifty-seven courses of graduate study which are related to their profes- sional duties.We will be able to retain such a group,who are profes- sionally ambitious and so obviously competent,only by maintaining a competitive salary schedule. The apparent interest of our students in the nation-wide trend for more and better education is indicated in some measure by the fact that there are sixty-nine graduates of our high school presently enrolled in forty different colleges and universities.Of last year's graduating class,seven received advanced standing in one or more of their college subjects. While my number one concern shall always be the maintenance of an excellent teaching staff,the problem of adequate facilities seems to be ever present.In common with other suburban communities, Cohasset is confronted with a continuing increase in its school popula- tion.The increase during the past year amounted to 8%,a slightly higher per cent than in past years.The School Facilities Planning Committee has been supplied with the statistics of school population and have started a well-planned,long-range investigation which should culminate in constructive recommendations for future action.It seems obvious that Cohasset cannot escape building expansion,some of which will require immediate action. I wish to express my sincere thanks for the co-operation I have received from the school staff,the School Committee,and interested citizens during the past year. WILLIAM RIPLEY,JR.

ROBERT T.SCEERY,M.D. ETHEL S.RIVERS,R.N. REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTIST The following report of dental operations at Ripley Road and Deer Hill School Dental Clinics is submitted for the period from Jan- uary 1,1960 to December 31,1960. Restorations Silver Amalgam (with or without cement bases)689 Synthetic porcelain 32 Anodyne 28 Extractions Deciduous Teeth 118 Permanent Teeth 1 148 Prophylactic Treatments 116 Miscellaneous Treatments 4 Examination without treatment 149 The usual clinic care was continued during the year with special emphasis on the ever important silver restorations.By preserving the $ix and twelve year molars at this early age,the child has a much bet- ter opportunity to retain these important teeth for his adult life. We again wish to remind the parents of the children in the Junior and Senior High School,to honor the Dental Certificate mailed out to each family yearly in the fall by the Board of Health.Since clinic care ceases at the Sixth Grade level,this is our only means of controlling oral health in these upper grades.We urge you to contact your family dentist and have this certificate signed by him by February of each year. I wish to express my appreciation to Mrs.Rivers,the School Nurse,for her aid throughout the entire year.
