Of the matters placed in the hands of the Selectmen at the 1962 Town Meeting,all have been carried out with the follow- ing exceptions: 1.Article 18,Purchase of land of Margaret A.Kline and Martin Guida.This has been in the hands of coun- sel and is expected to be completed in the near future. 2.Article 32,Layout of Rustic Drive.Due to a techni- cality in the formal procedure required for acceptance of public ways,it will be necessary to vote this Article again at the 1963 Town Meeting. 3.Article 47,Layout of James Lane.Negotiations in this matter are in progress between the Texaco Com- pany and counsel for the Town.This should be finished very soon. The Little Red Schoolhouse is no longer a Cohasset land mark,having been demolished in the course of the construc- tion of the new Fire and Police Headquarters Building. The reconstruction of Cunningham's Bridge is in process with the completion date set by the contract May 15,1963. The Forest Avenue project has been interrupted by the bank- ruptcy of the contractor and is presently in the hands of the bonding company for resumption and completion of the work. For assistance in carrying out the suggestions in respect of the Government Island houses,the Selectmen named a special committee to consider and make recommendations as to a practicable solution to the situation.The report of this committee is printed in this Report.The suggested rents have been established and moneys set aside in the budget for the painting as recommended. A new tool house has been erected at the Woodside Ceme- tery and the old house will shortly be removed. Under an Article to be voted on in the coming Town Meet- ing,it is proposed to place the playground areas in the town under the jurisdiction of the Recreation Commission.This change is in keeping with the request of the Commission and the desires of those organizations which make most use of these areas. 67 Subsequent to the public hearing held on March 22,1962, planning for the dredging project in the Harbor has been substantially progressed by the Army Engineers and it is hoped that the coming year will see further activity in this important area of the Town's interest. Another Selectmen's special committee has assisted in connection with the use of the Harbor.One result of this committee's activity is the recommended new By-Law.Other aspects of improvement in Harbor facilities have been imple- mented in accordance with suggestions made in the excellent report. The standard of excellent performance established by the Town employees and department heads continues at a high level.The Board of Selectmen is most grateful to all of them and to the citizens of the Town who have co-operated so splendidly in assisting the functions of Town Government.

At this time I want express my appreciation to your Honorable Board for the support you have extended to the department during the past year. HECTOR J.PELLETIER,Chief of Police REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Fire Depart- ment for the year ending December 31,1962. The organization of the Fire Department is as follows: Fire Chief 1 Deputy Fire Chief 1 Captains 2 Permanent Firefighters 13 Call Firefighters 39 Alternate Call Firefighters 6 Auxiliary Firefighters (Civilian Defense)15 The permanent firefighters and officers of the department are presently working a 56 hour week and are divided into three platoons,each commanded by one of the ranking officers. The call firefighters are assigned to 4 engine companies and 1 ladder company.The alternate call firefighters are as- signed to the various companies and in the absence of a member fill the vacancy. Under the step-up in the Civil Defense program the force of auxiliary firefighters was re-activated.These men are cur- rently undergoing weekly training in the various firefighting evolutions and in time of national emergency or natural dis- aster will help to supplement the regular firefighting forces. The apparatus is modern and up to date,and in good oper- ating condition.The firefighting equipment and appliances are of the latest type.The equipment and apparatus is the best available and I feel we can cope with about any type of emergency. 71 Again,as in previous years,several members of the department attended the firefighting training school at Fitz- william,N.H.This school is operated under the direction of the New Hampshire Fire Chiefs'Association and the New Hampshire Board of Education.The various evolutions used in firefighting are taught and practiced under actual fire con- ditions.It is most unfortunate that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not offer similar training. The biggest and most significant event of the Fire Depart- ment in the past year was the construction of the new Head- quarters Building.The advantages gained by this building- are too numerous to mention —the safety of the men and equipment,the improvement in morale of the entire depart- ment and the expansion of the uses,are but a few.The results and benefits of these changes will show in the operation and efficiency of the department for years to come. In the year 1962 the department responded to 314 alarms. Of these 61 were bell alarms and 253 still alarms.The bell alarms are handled by both the permanent and call firefighters, the remaining 80 percent of the calls were handled by the permanent on-duty firefighters. The following items are made as recommendations for your thought and consideration in the next few years : 1.Increase the rate of pay through the various grades of the officers and men.The present steps are not consistent with those of the surrounding towns. 2.The addition of five permanent firefighters to the depart- ment,allowing for the manning of all apparatus and key positions throughout the entire year.Presently during vaca- tions and illness,which cover some nine months,the depart- ment is seriously undermanned,to the point where a company is placed out of service due to lack of proper manpower.These men could be added over a two or three year period and the impact would not be so great. 3.The construction of a new modern sub fire station which would house the companies presently at North Cohasset and Beechwood.This facility should be located near the junction of Chief Justice Cushing Highway and Sohier Street.This would improve the operation of the department and aid in reducing the operating costs.This program is endorsed in the Planning Board's "Over-all Planning Study". 72 4.The construction of a training area which would include a ladder training tower,a combination smoke house and fire combat building and a pump test and drafting pit. In 1962 the resignation of Arthur Somerville,Call Fire- fighter assigned to Engine 3,who served from July 19,1936 to November 30,1962,was accepted with regret. In closing I would like to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen for their guidance and advice,and the heads and members of the various Town Departments for their coopera- tion.Last,and by no means least,I would like to thank each and every member of the Fire Department for their fine coop- eration and assistance in the past year. CHARLES PIEPENBRINK,Chief of Fire Department CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT I hereby submit the Civil Defense Report for the year end- ing December 31,1962. The year 1962 witnessed the Cuban crisis which caused much anxiety among our citizens.Because we could and prob- ably will face more of such crisis,I urge that all of our citizens adhere to the recommendations that have been made in the past,both in the yearly report and Special Bulletins,for their own Protection and Survival. During the past year a new control center was fully estab- lished at the High School on Pond Street.This control center is equipped with auxiliary power -2 meter -10 meter and citi- zen band radios.It affords space for continuity of government also remote control radio systems for the Police and Fire Departments. A refresher course was conducted in Practical Nursing, Home Nursing and First Aid. The Hospital stored at the High School was inventoried and brought up to date at our request by the facility director from GSA/CDM Depot. An Operational Plan for use in case of an emergency was written and approved by the State Civil Defense Director.This plan has been distributed to all key personnel in the Civil Defense Organization and Department Heads of the Town. 73 A Program Paper was written and approved which quali- fies the Town to participate in the Federal Matching Funds Program and Surplus Property Program. Civil Defense Bulletin #18 was distributed October 25, 1962. Phase 2 of the survey being made by the Federal Govern- ment of Public Buildings which could be adapted for fallout protection was carried out and to date 1 print out has been received as approved for a location under the High School on Pond Street,others are expected. Auxiliary Police and Fire Units have been re-organized and brought up to strength through the co-operation of the Police and Fire Chiefs.These units are holding regular train- ing sessions. Fallout detection equipment has been distributed to the Police,Fire and Water Departments.Refresher training in the use of these instruments is being implemented. Your Civil Defense Program is being carried out with a very limited budget but with excellent co-operation from all who are engaged in the management of the Town,their per- sonnel and citizen volunteers.All programs emerging from the Federal and State organizations are carefully watched and carried out as they apply to our Community,should added financial aid be needed it will be requested. In closing this report,I wish to thank the Board of Select- men for their support during the past year,also all others who have contributed their time in order that we might have as good a Civil Defense Organization as possible. HARRY H.REED,JR.,Director SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES I herewith submit my report as Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31,1962. All weighing and measuring devices have been tested. 150 were sealed,21 adjusted. The amount of $123.70 for sealing fees was collected and paid to the Town Treasurer. NICHOLAS J.SINOPOLI,JR. Sealer of Weights and Measures 74 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE The trend in Public Welfare in recent years has been to- ward social services,the objective being to strengthen family life,the safeguarding of children in hazardous home situa- tions,and the reduction of dependency.In July,1962,this program was made mandatory.Federal financial participation increased from 50%to 75%for administrative expenditures for this extensive social service. Effective October 1,1962,Federal reimbursements in- creased from $49.80 to $54.00 per month on each Old Age case ;from $42.30 to $46.50 for Disability Assistance. A recovery of $7,067.00 was made under O.A.A.lien in 1962. The number of cases aided under each category and the amount expended is as follows : No.Total Active Category Aided Expenditures Reimbursements 1/1/63 O.A.A.42 $39,892.83 $21,205.75 38 M.A.A.31 42,928.38 25,152.50 23 A.D.C.9 17,881.72 9,064.10 5 D.A.7 3,707.34 2,557.79 5 G.R.11 3,002.27 4 The District Nurse reports 236 visits to O.A.A.cases and 55 visits to M.A.A.cases for 1962. During 1962,two cases were referred to Mrs.Wright, Social Service case worker,by the Department,one of which is still active.In addition,6 other cases,and 1 Willcut Fund couple,have been handled cooperatively;three are still receiv- ing treatment. HELEN E.SCRIPTURE,Chairman BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS During the year 1962 your Water Department continued its program of system improvements and careful maintenance of all facilities.Treating facilities were improved by the addi- tion of an automatic chlorinator at our #3 plant. 75 Distribution facilities were markedly improved by tying the King Street and Sohier Street mains together across and on Route 3-A.This has improved fire protection capacity in this area and for the Deer Hill School. In order to insure the protection of our water shed we are following closely what disposition is to be made of the Ammunition Depot Annex property which has been declared surplus by the Federal Government. It is believed proper at this time to point out that we have had no increase in our water rates since the installation of meters in 1956.Yet during this time we have contended with steadily mounting wages and material costs.While holding the rate constant we have carried out a regular yearly pro- gram of system improvements financed solely from water revenue. Your Water Department is a solvent going concern with a modest improvement in earnings from year to year.For 1962 total revenue committed was approximately $103,400 with approximately $8000 going to surplus.Water pumped to dis- tribution was 23 million gallons less than for the previous year. The Board of Water Commissioners wish to express their appreciation for the continued loyal and efficient work of Department Personnel,for the co-operation of the various Town Offices,Department Heads and the citizens of the town. M.FRANK KNOY,Chairman Board of Water Commissioners FIRE AND POLICE STATION BUILDING COMMITTEE Submitted herewith is the report of the Fire and Police Station Building Committee. The committee at this time can make only a report of pro- gress.The building is nearing completion but not ready for occupancy. At the 1963 Annual Town Meeting a complete report will be presented by this committee. THOMAS L.O'KEEFFE,Chairman 76 REPORT OF THE COHASSET PUBLIC SEWERAGE SYSTEM STUDY COMMITTEE The findings and recommendations of the Study Com- mittee have been embodied in two comprehensive reports distributed to all households in Cohasset,the first in 1961,and the last prior to the Special Town Meeting,November 1,1962. At that time the members present at the meeting voted against a motion to continue the Study Committee and appropriate $20,800 for detailed construction plans for a public sewerage system to serve approximately 136 connections in the center of town and the cove area.Although the initial reaction of members of the Study Committee was that this action consti- tuted a release of the Committee,Town Counsel has ruled otherwise and advises us that the Committee is not discharged. As this report is submitted at the end of December for printing, the Study Committee has not yet determined what action it can best take,and any recommendation for specific action will be presented at Town Meeting.The general attitude of the Committee is summarized in the following points. 1.Each year sewage disposal problems in Cohasset can be expected to increase in number and severity. 2.The ONLY effective way to solve these problems is through a public sewerage system.At some time the Town must start construction of such a system. 3.Each year of delay in starting construction will result in an increase in cost to the Town. 4.Out of $3,575 appropriated by the Town,the Com- mittee has expended $3,468.92 for engineering plans, sanitary surveys,and preparation of its reports.The Town has also spent thousands of dollars in previous surveys.In almost 60 years not one of these studies has been followed up by Town action. 5.Apart from the danger to Public Health,continued pollution from overflowing sewage is a sign of com- munity indifference to elementary standards of clean- liness.Action is bound to come after individual and public recognition that civic pride is as essential in this neglected area as it is the creation of other community assets :an excellent school system,a fine library,good roads,and efficient services for fire,police and administration. 77 6.The Committee therefore still recommends that the Town commence construction of a public sewerage system at the earliest feasible moment. In the course of the inspection of the James Brook culvert the consulting engineers called the attention of the Study Com- mittee to the poor condition of the section from Smith place to the railroad tracks.The corrugated iron pipe of this section is in danger of collapse at some points.The Study Committee has written to the Selectmen recommending an engineering survey to consider necessary repairs.The Study Committee also wishes to thank its consulting engineers,Fay,Spofford and Thorndike,Inc.,and the many state and town officials and citizens who have assisted in its work. HELEN E.SCRIPTURE,ARTHUR L. CLARK,JAMES M.GRAHAM,JR., M.FRANK KNOY,NATHANIEL M. HURWITZ,BRONSON H.WATER- MAN,RENE G.CHIASSON,ROBERT C.BRIGGS,RICHARD B.SINGER, Chairman REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Surveyor for the year ending December 31,1962. In the spring,the sand and debris left by the winter's sanding operation was cleaned up by the use of a power sweeper. Catch basins were cleaned,drains repaired and sections offence mended and painted. 38 standard catch basins were installed and 4200'of 10" and 12"pipe was laid. The special articles assigned to the department were completed,curbing installed,2500'of sidewalks repaired and resurfaced and two drainage problems completed. Roads resurfaced this year included Nichols Road,Border Street to the bridge,Elm Court,Cove Road and 2400'on Beach Street. 78 The Chapter 90 construction and maintenance funds were applied for this year.The construction funds will be used on Forest Avenue and the maintenance money will be used on a section of Atlantic Avenue,from Nichols Road to the Cause- way The contract for drainage on Forest Avenue was taken over by the Bonding Co.and will be completed in 1963. Twenty-four street signs have been ordered and will be installed throughout the Town. The Town will receive $15,363.52 which was made avail- able by the Legislature,from the proceeds of the Bond Issue, Chapter 782 Acts of 1962. This money will be used on King Street and a part will be used to pay the Town's share on Chapter 90 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 REPORT OF THE OLD COLONY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE The Committee has continued to follow the numerous developments affecting mass transportation in our area,has maintained liaison with a number of the groups involved in the problem,and members of the Committee have attended meetings and studied various bills submitted to the Legisla- ture.Except for the possible enactment of the bill filed by Representative Shrigley authorizing a study as to the feasi- bility of monorail,it appears unlikely that any substantial moves toward the solution of our problems will be made until after the Mass Transportation Committee submits its report. No experimental rail service is possible on the South Shore as a part of the study program,owing to the fact that the federal legislation forbids the utilization of any of the funds available for capital expense,and without the expenditure of capital for the repair and restoration of the bridge over the Neponset River there cannot be any rail service on the Old Colony line. 79 During the year,the Interstate Commerce Commission officially granted the New Haven Railroad permission to aban- don the trackage through Cohasset.However,it is hoped that both the Federal Court in New Haven and the Department of Public Utilities will protect the interests of the South Shore towns in the right-of-way,either by refusing to allow the Railroad to dispose of the real estate until the possibility of its acquisition by the State or some authority thereunder of the right-of-way has been explored,or in the alternative,until the towns concerned have had a chance to vote on the acquisition of the right-of-way for highway purposes. Your Committee continues to feel that the responsible authorities in the Legislature and in the South Shore cities and towns will eventually realize that the Southeast Express- way does not meet the area's transportation requirements and that some form of mass transportation other than highways will be provided for the area. JOHN BARNARD PAUL BLACKMUR ROGER B.COULTER LOUIS F.EATON,JR.,Chairman REPORT OF THE COHASSET INCINERATOR COMMITTEE Prior to the 1962 Town Meeting,the Incinerator Com- mittees of Cohasset and Hull,pursuant to their authority, engaged the engineering firm of Fay,Spofford &Thorndike, Inc.of Boston,Massachusetts,to prepare a report on the poten- tial cost of joint incineration in the Towns of Cohasset and Hull.This report,dated January 23,1962,is currently on file in the Town Hall,where it is open to inspection by the voters. The purpose of the report is to determine the approximate effect on the Cohasset tax rate if incineration should be estab- lished through the creation of the South Shore Incinerator Authority by the voters of Cohasset and Hull.The report is sufficiently detailed to give each taxpayer knowledge of the amount his tax bill would be increased should such Authority be established and an incinerator built.The report shows that incineration (including collection)would cost about $5.00 per $1000.00 of assessed valuation under current assessment practices. 80 Your Committee has not received a single request from any voter in Cohasset that it should propose for the 1963 Warrant an Article calling for the establishment of the South Shore Incinerator Authority.Therefore the Committee has done nothing in this regard.Until Hull votes for the establish- ment of the South Shore Incinerator Authority,it is your Committee's opinion that Cohasset should do nothing.If Hull votes for the Authority,then a further review of the Cohasset situation would be called for. It is believed the Incinerator Committee should be con- tinued. COHASSET INCINERATOR COMMITTEE GIFFORD R.DEAN CLARENCE M.FLINT EARL R.McARTHUR EDWARD E.TOWER C.YARDLEY CHITTICK,Chairman REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Personnel Committee has faithfully administered the provisions of the Personnel By-Law for the current year and is prepared to make recommendations to the Town Meeting in March of 1963. The Salary Schedule recommended by the Committee was accepted by the Town at its annual meeting in 1962.It con- tained raises of approximately 3%%above the previous year, and was the fifth successive schedule of rates which provided raises for the Town employees subject to the Personnel By- Law. The Committee made a careful study of wages and work- ing conditions in Cohasset,in our neighboring towns,and in many other towns in the Commonwealth.It attempted to be objective and fair to the town's employees and to the tax- payers. The Committee regrets not to have satisfied all requests for raises,and wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen,Advi- sory Board,Department Heads,and the many citizens who assisted us with their advice and understanding. WALTER E.KNIGHT,Chairman 81 GOVERNMENT ISLAND HOUSING COMMITTEE SUBJECT:Observations and Recommendations Re:GOV- ERNMENT ISLAND HOUSING A.Problem This committee has been requested by the Board of Select- men to answer three basic questions relative to the housing on the Government Island property. 1.Should the houses be sold ? 2.Should they be thoroughly renovated and modernized in the hope of securing substantially higher rentals? 3.Should they be maintained and rented as at present? B.Observations and Recommendations #1.We believe that sale of these houses is undesirable since private ownership would create new problems rather than solve those inherent in the present sit- uation.Like an island surrounded by water the houses would be a bit of private property wholly surrounded by Town property.There would be di- fficulty in allocating a certain parcel of land to each house since in the case of one the main entrance road to the Government Island tract runs within a few feet of the house ;in the case of the other the main pathway to the scenic point at the top of the rock runs from a spot directly in the rear of the house. Having in mind that the land,quite properly,is open to and generously used by the Town's people, it is inevitable that there would be encroachments of private property which would result in a situation unsatisfactory to all.Although there is at present no definite plan for any future development of the Government Island property,it is conceivable that should a plan be evolved it might entail the removal of present housing.Under such circumstances mat- ters would be simplified if the Town had title to the entire property. It is our opinion that the housing should not be sold. #2.Should the houses be thoroughly renovated and modernized in the hope of securing substantially higher rentals? 82 The many problems of private occupancy of houses in the midst of public property would not only re- main but would be magnified.Higher rentals would create a more exacting tenancy.Certain land areas adjacent to the houses would have to be set apart in some way so as to indicate that their use was ex- clusively for the tenants.The resulting denial of use by the Town's people would be detrimental to their interests. The properties for the past years have enjoyed full occupancy.With renovated properties and substan- tially higher rentals there is the probability of a normal turnover of tenants with attending loss of rent plus re-decorating expense. In our opinion the answer to question #2 should be in the negative. #3.Should the properties be maintained and rented as at present? Our answer to this question is "Yes"with some modifications.The apartments,two of seven rooms and two of six rooms,are wholly adequate for comfortable living.The Town is particularly fortu- nate in its present tenants since in all cases the interiors of the apartments are maintained in satis- factory condition. The report of the Government Island Survey Com- mittee which was unanimously accepted by the Town made the following proposals concerning the operations of the houses.On the question of rentals it was suggested that they be adequate to cover the following:(a)taxes based on assessed valuation, (b)insurance protection,(c)depreciation,(d)a 6%return based on assessed valuation,and (e) costs of maintenance.Compliance with these pro- posals would call for an average monthly rental of approximately $80.00. If these houses were on private property we believe such a rental might be obtainable.However the general locational situation definitely reduces the rental potential.Although there are appraisal tech- niques for weighing "penalty"encumbrances,we 83 know of no formula to precisely evaluate the impact of these limiting conditions.It must be a matter of judgement.Our discussions lead us to the conclu- sion that the rental level of these properties should be approximately 30%lower than that of similar properties located where there is normal privacy and freedom from public trespass through what would ordinarily be one's private yard. We therefore suggest that the average monthly rental be set at about $55.00.The rental for the two seven room apartments should be slightly more — the rental of the two six room apartments slightly less. Ordinarily in properties of this type the water ser- vice is carried by the tenants and is so recommend- ed in this instance.(The average cost of water service for the past five years has averaged $3.00 per month per apartment.) C.Summary Conclusions In acquiring the Government Island property the Town has become the owner of one of the most valuable locations on our entire water frontage.The main value in the ownership of the land lies in the fact that its use accrues to the people of the Town.In our opinion the value of this public use greatly trans- cends that of income from the housing on the property. At the rental level suggested above funds produced should meet all operational expenses,depreciation and the major por- tion of the tax liability as determined by the assessors. In light of circumstances we believe that a course of action along the lines of the suggestions outlined above would permit the operation and maintenance of this property in a manner wholly fair both to the tenants and to the Town. EVERETT W.GAMMONS LLOYD C.TROTT OLIVER W.PARK 84 REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION The Cohasset Conservation Commission has continued to be predominately occupied with the problem of the disposi- tion of Cohasset Annex of the Hingham Naval Ammunition Depot.The Division of Fisheries and Game of the Common- wealth of Massachusetts has prepared a proposal for utiliza- tion of the property which would satisfy the primary objective of protecting the Cohasset watershed. The Division of Fisheries and Game summarized its plans as follows: "The Cohasset Annex will be utilized primarily to provide recreational hunting and fishing,and augment the service facilities of the Division necessary to maintain an expand- ed program in other areas of the Commonwealth.The major aspects of the utilization program to be instituted on the Cohasset Annex area consist of wildlife manage- ment,fisheries management,and game bird culture.At- tendant to the aforementioned major aspects of utilization will be a secondary program involving the establishment of a nursery for plants and shrubs beneficial to wildlife, a research area to evaluate fish and wildlife management techniques,a demonstration area for conservation orient- ed groups,and facilities for general outdoor recreation." Your Commission endorses the acquisition of the Cohasset Annex by the Division of Fisheries and Game because the above proposal would protect the Cohasset Watershed at no cost to the Town of Cohasset. JOSEPH PERRONCELLO,Chairman REPORT OF SCHOOL FACILITIES COMMITTEE The principal work of the School Facilities Committee in 1962 was to direct the planning and construction of an addi- tion to the Deer Hill School.This was recommended to the town at the Annual Town Meeting in March,1962 after a thorough study in conjunction with the School Committee of the elementary enrollment trend.The recommendation was in accord with the "Benjamin Report —Long Range General Plan for Cohasset". 85 Following approval by the Town Meeting and an appro- priation of approximately $294,000,construction went forward promptly.The addition of nine rooms was accepted as sub- stantially complete in December,1962,and was scheduled for occupancy in January,1963.Some furnishings and grad- ing remain to be provided,but the addition will be completed well within the budget figure. The Committee also proposed and the Town Meeting ap- proved an expenditure of $8000 for the purchase of additional land adjoining the present Junior-Senior High School.This was also in accord with the Benjamin Report.A purchase agreement has been entered into,but clearing of the title has not yet been completed.Purchase of this land is the first step of a program to acquire land for possible future school needs. The Committee has requested that the enrollment pro- jections be reviewed and revised by the School Administration Staff and be presented to us for study and future school facili- ties planning in order to present to the Town a concrete plan of future school needs before overcrowding hampers the school programs. The Committee has requested that a study be made of the possibility of catering lunches to the Joseph Osgood School from one of our other modern kitchens.If this proves f easable it will eliminate the cost of constructing a cafeteria at this location which is long overdue.

The control of new construction and repair of existing sys- tems is carried out through a system of regulation,permit and inspection,with engineering advice obtained in difficult cases. When a nuisance develops on an existing system on a small or unfavorable lot,the problem is often extremely difficult to solve by private means.New-type mechanical aeration sys- tems for individual installation have been found to present operational difficulties.Nine property owners in the center of town are faced with correction of individual disposal prob- lems as a result of the Sanitary Survey made in the Spring and failure of the town to act at the special Town meeting in November.The Board of Health is carrying out a survey around the harbor and several positive dye tests have resulted. Some of these are on properties where corrective action has been taken more than once in the past nine years.The Board can only repeat its firm conviction that a permanent solution will come only when a public sewerage system is started.

RICHARD B.SINGER,M.D.,Chairman RENE G.CHIASSON,Secretary ROBERT C.BRIGGS,Member (appointed December 8,1962 to fill vacancy caused by resignation of George E.Haley on November 24,1962) REPORT OF THE WIRE SUPERINTENDENT The following is the annual report of the Wire Depart- ment for year 1962. New Fire Alarm boxes were installed at location spots to give better coverage in these areas. Old overhead fire alarm wire was removed and replaced with new wire in various sections of the town.New cross arms were replaced where needed. All fire alarm boxes were tested and painted. All wires and equipment from the old Fire and Police stations to the new Fire and Police stations were transferred and completed. New flashing amber traffic lights were installed at Forest Avenue and North Main Street. New electrical installations and repairs in town owned buildings were done by this Department. Electrical wiring done by Electrical Contractors was care- fully inspected and wiring permits were filed with Town Ac- countant and Town Treasurer. I wish to express my thanks for the help and co-operation received from all Town Officials and Departments of the Town of Cohasset. EDWARD P.MALLEY,Supt.of Wires 90 REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mos- quito Control Project of its activities in the Town for year ending October 31,1962. The Town of Cohasset appropriated $3700 for mosquito control in 1962.Along with this $800 was appropriated for salt marsh maintenance.This money was used for mosquito control in the Town by the South Shore Mosquito Control Pro- ject,a cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and Towns of Cohasset,Braintree,Duxbury,Hingham,Hull, Marshfield,Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth.In addition, the project worked under contract for the U.S.Naval Ammu- nition Depot for a period up to June 30th,ending our final contract before its deactivation. Types of Control Program 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.This program was supplemented by application of D.D.T.dust to selected areas during the period when the swamps were frozen.Fog genera- tors and mist blowers were used to combat flying mosquitoes. Encephalitis As a result of the dry weather and/or other factors not yet recognized Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis did not ap- pear in humans in Massachusetts this past summer.However, since there is always a definite threat present during late summer and early fall,the period when Encephalitis is most likely to appear,the project was in contact with the U.S.Public Health Service,Massachusetts Department of Public Health and other mosquito control agencies in a cooperative effort to recognize the danger signs so that work could be directed against the suspected species of mosquitoes. Aerial Dusting and /or Spraying The spring dusting or spraying of all fresh water swamps known to be breeders and too large to be treated by hand was done.D.D.T.was used at the rate of a half to one pound per acre,keeping well within the realm of safety to humans and wildlife.775 acres were treated in the Town of Cohasset. 91 Ground Spraying The ground crews circulated on a schedule throughout their section.They varied from this circuit to treat in the vicinity of complaints or to treat places found to be breeding by the superintendent or foremen's inspection.They then returned to their rounds. Catchbasin Spraying Catchbasin spraying was done with a motorcycle servi- car,a compressed air sprayer mounted on the rear.Due to reduction of summer personnel only one unit was operating this year.A dry summer enabled regular crews to treat basins in their assigned towns,thus enabling us to keep ahead of this type of breeding. Ditching Drainage,always considered the keystone of mosquito control,is more than ever important as a result of a growing concern by certain groups over the use and buildup of insecti- cides and other chemicals in our wildlife areas. Over the years the ditching done by this project has greatly reduced the areas that need spraying or dusting of insecticides.On fresh water only areas capable of mosquito breeding are drained,shallow stagnant pools.On salt marshes we attempt to keep all ditches clear of grass and mud to allow tidal water a free flow in and out,also to eliminate all brackish sheet water at upper ends of marsh where salt marsh mos- quitoes will breed. The largest amount of mosquito control can be reached with a good drainage program.With this idea in mind,we have proceeded in all areas possible to ditch.In the Town of Cohasset 1200 feet of ditches have been cleaned,950 feet reclaimed,and 1050 feet of new ditch have been dug.In addi- tion 1200 feet of brushing has been done to facilitate entrance to and passage along streams for the purpose of cleaning and treating streams and swamps. Fogging This past season the project has had in operation a Curtis Dyna Fog Insecticidal Fog Applicator.This machine emits a smoke containing small particles of insecticide.This smoke or fog drifts with air currents over the area,wiping out all mosquitoes and other flying insects present.This machine makes it possible to cover a large area and with insecticide particles being so small there is very little residue to buildup in any one area. 92 Plans for Winter Throughout the months between the past and coming mosquito breeding season much attention will be given to ditching.Work on the salt marsh will be done in the fall and early spring,and the colder winter months will be spent in the more protected areas. In addition,when snow and ice conditions are right pre- hatch dusting by ground crews,as was done in the past year, will be applied.The success of the past work along these lines makes it feasible to continue the program.All areas that were hand dusted were free of mosquito breeding in most cases until mid-July. Plans for Next Year All phases of the work carried out in the past will con- tinue,placing emphasis on drainage for permanent control and then,in this order:dusting for prehatch control,spray- ing for larval control,mist blowing and fogging for adult control. Problems to be Solved N.A.D. Since 1957 the project has been under contract to the U.S.Navy to do all phases of mosquito control in their Ammu- nition Depot,Hingham and Cohasset Annex.In June of this year,the Navy decommissioned this reservation,leaving a large area in the center of the project with no control.At present it is uncertain as to what will be done with this area. If the land involved should revert back to their former towns, Cohasset,Hingham,Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth,it will be necessary to up the assessments of these towns for mosquito control as with our present budget we would be unable to handle it. Need for New Ditching Tractor The project operates two pieces of tractor equipment on its drainage operation,an OC-6 scavel plow used for cleaning out existing ditches and an OC-4 backhoe trencher for making new drainage work.They have both been in constant use,one since 1955,the other 1957. 93 On ordinary dry trenching operations these machines might last a few more years.However,on mosquito control ditching,the machine is constantly in water,mainly salt water, year round.Consequently,because of rust and corrosion, along with wear,they have reached a point where they must be replaced in order to maintain what has been accomplished and to continue the phase of machine ditching. It would not be necessary to replace both tractors as one tractor so constructed could receive and operate both a scavel and backhoe trencher.This would necessitate the need for just one tractor as both these are usually being used on the same job. SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT HOWARD BATES,Commissioner for Cohasset REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO SURVEY THE ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTIONING OF VARIOUS TOWN OFFICES,BOARDS AND DEPARTMENTS This Committee was established in 1957 under an article submitted by members of the Advisory Committee.A substan- tial proportion of its members or former members are or have been former members of the Advisory Committee,and both of its chairmen have served as chairmen of the Advisory Committee. As stated in last year's report,since the Committee was established numerous improvements have been made in the operating efficiency of various departments,primarily due to the initiative of department heads concerned in studying and acting upon informal suggestions from the Committee,and from the co-operation of the Advisory Committee and the Board of Selectmen. Our Committee has inserted only two articles in the war- rant,both in 1962.One would have given the Selectmen the necessary statutory authorization to appoint an Executive Secretary for their Board if in their discretion such a position were needed.Action on this article was indefinitely post- poned,but the Selectmen,with the approval of the Personnel Committee,increased the duties and responsibilities of the Clerk in their Office,hoping to achieve the goal sought by the article at less expense to the Town. 94 The other article,which was accepted in 1962,repealed a provision of the Town by-laws to make it possible for the offices of Treasurer and Town Collector to be combined should the voters ever see fit to do so. Last year the Committee asked to be continued for the further consideration of additional possibilities for improve- ments in administration,but the Committee has not met,and nothing has been done.In these circumstances,it is obvious that the Committee should be discharged and that if the Town should desire further investigation with recommendations as to any or all of the items set forth on page 97 of the 1961 Annual Report,a new committee should be appointed. PAUL BLACKMUR EDWARD C.BURSK LOUIS F.EATON,JR. FREDERICK L.GOOD,JR. EDGAR D.HILL ARTHUR L.LEHR,SR. FRANK L.PATTISON REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN During the year the public shade trees have been given consistently good care.Deadwood and stubs have been re- moved when possible and good pruning carried out. Fourteen trees dead or in poor condition,making them a menace to the public have been cut down.All trees on the Common and adjoining streets were carefully pruned and are in good condition.It is hoped to fertilize all trees on the Common and adjacent North Main Street and Highland Ave- nue this coming Spring. With the co-operation of the Brockton Edison Company in providing a skyworker,many trees on Beach Street,Atlantic Avenue,Jerusalem Road and North Main Street were pruned of deadwood and stubs.Twenty-one trees of seven different species or varieties were planted and all small trees planted in the last few years were watered at intervals during the sum- mer drought.Continued environmental factors such as park- ing,pavements too close to trees or over roots and grading operations have caused many trees to decline and eventually 95 die.Roadside grass and brush has been mowed or cut at various places.Considerable pruning and clearing was done at the corner of North Main Street and Forest Avenue to make the new signal lights and the streets more visible. I would like to bring to your attention several excerpts from the Massachusetts Shade Tree Laws :"No tree shall be planted within a public way without the approval of the tree warden.''"Whoever affixes to a tree in a public way or place a notice,sign,advertisement or other thing whether in writing or otherwise,or cuts,paints or marks such tree —shall be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars." For the advice of the towns'citizens,I would caution all persons planting trees on their property to ascertain before planting,the mature height,breadth and general characteris- tics of the tree contemplated and be certain that there is suffi- cient space for the tree to grow to maturity without conflict with other trees,buildings,wires,drives or sewers,or the pub- lic highway.Many weeping willows purchased at chain stores or roadside stands for an attractive price,if improperly located will cause immense annoyance or costly arboricultural work or repair work in the future. I wish to thank all town officials and citizens who have been so kind as to help me in my work,and invite all citizens to feel free to call the tree warden to notify him of all defects noted in the trees,or suggestions for the improvement of our trees and roadsides. HOWARD BATES,Tree Warden REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT An infestation of canker worms in this area last May was put down in Cohasset by a foliage spray of D.D.T.All decid- uous trees received one foliage spray to combat chewing in- sects.Other sprays were put on at appropriate times to con- trol certain insects and diseases of particular trees. Elm Leaf Beetle was again active and several different sprays were used.Sevin,a low toxicity spray,combined with other materials promises to keep our elms in good condition. A spray was put on our black oak group last fall to combat the oak leaf skeletonizer. 96 DUTCH ELM DISEASE Dormant spraying and sanitation still seems to be the best preventative of Dutch Elm Disease.Ninety-six elm trees were found to have Dutch Elm Disease in 1962,of these only sixteen were public shade trees,and none were on or adjacent to the Common,encouraging us that our program is quite effective. Anyone noticing rapid wilting or yellowing of elm trees in mid summer is asked to call the Moth Superintendent. POISON IVY We have continued to spray all Poison Ivy Plants visible from the street,or reported to us with a mixture of 24D and 245T. HOWARD BATES,Moth Superintendent REPORT OF THE PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY Report of the Directors : One of the duties of the Directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library is to see to it that the Building itself,its contents,and surrounding grounds are maintained in perfect condition.With that in mind we list below some of the major improvements made during the past few years : Removing old copper roofing and putting on a new slate roof with copper gutters. Weathervane re-gold-leafed. All outside bricks pointed up and weatherproofed. Face of the building steam cleaned and painted. New Vinyl plastic floors laid down in main building. Adult reading room re-decorated and shades replaced with drapes. New counter top on main desk with improved lighting. Electric hot water heater installed (no hot water before.) New boiler room built and fireproof ed. New black top driveway. Lawn regraded and rebuilt. We are deeply appreciative of the excellent service pro- vided by our Librarian and her Assistants. DONALD T.GAMMONS Secretary,Board of Directors 97 PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY Report of the Librarian : In my report for the year 1960 I noted the passage of a law providing State aid for Public Libraries.The Trustees and Directors voted to apply for this additional financial aid for our Library.We met the standards set up by the Board of Library Commissioners in regard to personnel,material, books and hours,and received the first grant in 1961. The second part of the legislation pertaining to regional service is still in the planning stage for the Eastern region, and will probably get underway in 1963.We have attended all meetings pertaining to this development,and will certainly participate in any regional planning that will be of benefit to the people of Cohasset and further the service the Library can render its patrons. Over the past five years we have gradually weeded mate- rial from our book collection that seemed no longer useable or pertinent.This process of weeding will go on continually as new material is added,but we feel we now have a better basic collection on which to build. Particular attention has been given to our Reference section and we have all the material and more recommended as a good basic collection for a Library of our size.This we will continue to build and improve.The use of this section of the Library has increased about 50%over the past five years. In reporting the statistics this year I am breaking them down into several categories in order to give an indication of reader interest,and a better indication of our book selection. The growth of circulation in our Juvenile department is of particular interest. In time we will need to expand our physical plant,but in the meantime,we are concentrating on improving our pre- sent facilities and building a book collection aimed at filling the diversified interests of the Community as a whole.

years. Twenty-eight plans were signed by the board where ap- proval under the Subdivision Control Law was not required. Most of these plans show the creation of one new lot,some show several new lots,and some concern boundary adjust- ments between neighbors.One new subdivision of 7 lots was approved for Mr.Robert Pape on land north of Sohier Street at the top of Deer Hill.One subdivision of 18 lots was com- pleted and given final release for the heirs of Mr.Royal Barry Wills on Jerusalem Road opposite Straits Pond. The Benjamin Report has been under constant study by the Board and the Citizens Advisory Groups.As a result,the contents of the Report are being gradually understood and recommendations are being formed.A private study was also undertaken by the Provisional League of Women Voters who have given a fine condensed presentation to several civic groups. The Town will be asked to act on the question of disposal of the old Police and Fire Stations.The Benjamin Report considers the Police Station to be of some further use to the Town,but calls for a park at the Fire Station.The Planning Board's recommendation is to tear them both down and land- scape the lots. The problem of sewage disposal is not yet solved.The Planning Board's position is that a less ambitious,and there- fore less costly,system would be more popular due to the reduced financial burden on the town. The proposed Zoning By-law as presented in the Benja- min Report has been extensively studied by a Citizen's Advisory Group headed by Mr.Donald Evans.Their recommendations will be the subject of open meetings to be held in March and April.These meetings will aid in the preparation of a new Zoning By-law to be acted on at a Special Town Meeting in May.Please attend these open meetings.The type of town we become depends on how carefully we plan now. The Planning Board wishes to thank the citizens of the town,the Selectmen,and all the other officers and boards for their cooperation throughout the year. ALBERT HABERSTROH,Chairman 109 TOWN ACCOUNTANTS REPORT I herewith submit my annual report in accordance with Section 61 of Chapter 41 of the Tercentenary Edition of the General Laws,for the year ending December 31,1962,show- ing in detail the appropriations,expenditures,and the receipts from each source of income.Also a recapitulation sheet and a balance sheet showing the assets and liabilities and trust accounts. In accordance with Section 57 of of Chapter 41,of the Tercentenary Edition of the General Laws,you will find a detailed report of the Town's Debt which amounts to $1,928,000.00 with the amount of interest due in 1962 of $44,480.75 and principal due of $169,000.00. In accordance with Section 53 of the Tercententary Edi- tion of the General Laws,the records of permits and licenses issued by the Selectmen and other departments receiving money for the Town or committing bills for collection were examined and checked,the reported payments to the Town Collector and Town Treasurer being compared with the Treasurer's recorded receipts,also the savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the several trust funds in the custody of the Town Treasurer.I have further reconciled the accounts of the trust funds in custody of the Trustees of the Cohasset Free Public Library and Paul Pratt Memorial Library. During the year,the Treasurer's cash balance was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements fur- nished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office. During the year a complete audit was made by the Bureau of Accounts and their report of the audit may be seen in the Town Accountant's office. In closing,I wish to take this opportunity to thank all departments for their sincere co-operation this past year.

Efforts at improving our educational program in the High School were given direction this past year by the report of an 163 evaluating committee of the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools late in 1961.During 1962, the Committee encouraged and supported the Superintendent and High School Principal in a number of changes,some minor and some important,made to carry out recommenda- tions of this evaluating committee.Foremost among these were steps to strengthen the library,music and ''artistic"pro- grams of the school,as well as student extra-curricular activi- ties.There will be continuing work to put into effect the recommendations which seem valid. To care for increased enrollment in the elementary and primary grades,an addition to the Deer Hill School was author- ized and completed.It was scheduled to be opened in Janu- ary,1963.This addition will permit reasonable class sizes in grades K-6 for the predictable future.The pressure of numbers now falls on the High School where increases have been somewhat larger than expected.By the Fall of 1963,the High School will be seriously overtaxed —an estimated 680 pupils in a building with an optimum capacity of 615.This is the next major point for study in the area of facilities. The increasing costs have come almost exclusively for the purpose of maintaining a staff of high calibre teachers,which after all,is the basic requirement of a good educational system. There is simply no easy or cheap solution to this problem.If a town falls behind in its teachers'salary schedule,or attempts to deviate too markedly from the advancment procedure that is generally accepted in the profession,it risks the loss of teachers over the long term.There are other systems ready to pay more.The increase in the state minimum for teachers from $4000 to $4500 left Cohasset in a "run-of-the-mill'posi- tion where once it could present a starting salary to attract superior teachers. The School Committee has sincerely and conscientiously tried to meet the salary problem with due regard for the town's finances,but it also recognizes the apparent desire of our citizens for a first-class school system. Again we pay tribute to the seemingly unending work of Superintendent William Ripley,Jr.,for the education of our youth. OSBORNE F.INGRAM,Chairman 164 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I believe that 1962 has been a year of satisfactory accom- plishment for the Cohasset Public Schools.Presently 109 grad- uates of our high school are attending 63 different 4 year colleges or universities;9 graduates are enrolled in 6 junior colleges,and 18 graduates are in technical training institutions of various types. Cohasset High School was elected to continued member- ship in the New England Association of Colleges and Second- ary Schools.The College Entrance Examination Board noti- fied the principal of the school that Cohasset High was one of 56 secondary schools nominated from 2000 applicants for membership for a three year term.Membership to this board offers our school the opportunity to participate directly in the formulation of the board's policy. This year our staff members have been particularly active in curriculum development activities.The elementary teachers have completed a basic course for the teaching of science comprised of 26 units which they compiled during the year.A spelling curriculum guide was also completed.The curriculum material has been duplicated and is in use in the elementary schools.Under the direction of the department chairmen,the courses of study in the high school were review- ed and revised.This work was done in addition to their daily teaching duties and is a service rendered by our teachers which contributes much and is too frequently unnoticed and therefore not appreciated. The changing demands of our times necessitate a constant review of the curriculum.Coordination of the mathematics and social studies from kindergarten through the twelfth grade is receiving special attention this year. Substantial completion of the addition to the Deer Hill School will provide not only the needed space for the increased elementary school population but also the facilities for a modernized concept of the elementary curriculum.The sci- ence laboratory and the library will serve as a study and resource center and will aid greatly in developing the curricu- lum offerings at this level. At this point I would pay tribute to the committee,chair- maned by Mr.Harry S.Reed,Jr.for the efficient and speedy accomplishment of this construction. 165 In my last annual report I stated,"the key to outstanding achievement is the teaching staff/'I reiterate that statement. We have lost,as I suppose we must,some very good staff members who went on to greater opportunities during the past year.I hope that through short sighted salary policies we are not going to become more vulnerable to raids on our teaching personnel.The retention of good teachers and the maintenance of staff morale offer many complex problems. Only the uninformed have easy readymade solutions.I believe that the School Committee has thoroughly reviewed its posi- tion and deserves credit for the hours of study and debate of a complex problem.It has developed a workable and fair solution as far as this community is concerned. The problem of physical facilities again deserves study in the case of the secondary school population.The High School's most recent addition was designed to accomodate 615 pupils.This year's enrollment as of October 1 was 628 pupils.If the past five years experience may be used as a guide,projected enrollment for the next 10 years is indicated as follows : 1963 -667 1968 -767 1964-700 1969-796 1965-688 1970-825 1966 -707 1971 -845 1967-759 1972-870 In the fall of this year,the Cuban crisis focused attention on protection of school children in case of enemy attack when school was in session.A statement of present plans was dis- tributed at that time.I feel it only fair to give my estimate of present plans and conditions.At the Deer Hill School,under the new addition,is an area which with proper equipment would serve adequately as a shelter from fallout.In the High School are areas which if adequately equipped would serve satisfactorily.The Joseph Osgood School has an area which if it were adequately equipped would roughly give about the same protection as the average home with a cellar.However, all these areas would need special equipment,supplies,and some alterations to make their successful use a possibility. Provision should be made for emergency food supplies,water supplies,sewerage disposal,ventilation,communication,light and heat.Without attention to the foregoing any protracted stay in these areas would probably result in chaotic conditions. 166 I have enjoyed working with the School Committee and the School Facilities Committee during the past year.Both committees deserve appreciation and gratitude for many hours of service freely given. WILLIAM F.RIPLEY,JR. Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTIST The following report of dental operations at the Joseph Osgood and the Deer Hill School Dental Clinics is submitted for the period from January 1,1962 to December 31,1962. Restorations Silver Amalgam (with and without cement bases)...450 Synthetic Porcelain 26 Anodyne 24 Extractions Deciduous Teeth 85 Permanent Teeth None Prophylactic Treatments 84 Examinations without treatment 225 As in previous years,much of our work centered on restor- ing carious six and twelve year molars,which are the root for good dentition in the adult years to follow. Oral health lessons were given in some grades,along with special films and advice at the chair.All these operations tend to give a child in the elementary grade a start in good oral hygiene habits.

During the school year 1962-63,we have only first year pupils and somewhat more than half the staff which will eventually be required.In the school year 1963-64,we will have about half the enrollment capacity and nearly a full staff. In January we offered seven evening trade extension courses.These are given for persons who,in their usual em- ployment,have need of the instruction.They are quite dif- ferent from the industrial arts programs given in our local high schools. The eventual cost of operation of this school will be very small but for the first few years,it will be substantial because the State reimbursement is not made for several years after the expenditures are made.The costs to each town is deter- mined by the number of pupils attending the State reimburse- ment formulae. Visitors to the school are welcome at any time and we hope that both parents and business representatives will become acquainted with what we are doing for the community.
