SCHOOL FACILrriES REPORT Early in 1964 the School Committee requested that the School Facilities Committee investigate sites for addi- tional building for the expected enrollments in our secondary section of our school system. We started this study beginning with the request for an updating of the enrollment projections.These were pre- pared by the School Administration Staff.They were checked against the same type of a projection done in preparation of the so-called Benjamin report by "Educational Service Associates"School Consultants and finally by Mr.Domas, Administrator of the School Building Assistance Commission. All of these studies we could expect between 800 or 850 in grades 7 through 12 by 1973 thus the need for add- itional facilities is established.The present school here is designed for 612. At this point the Benjamin report is again examined and we find that the recommendation is that due to the small numbers expected in the grades 7 &8 that additional land be added to the present High School site in order to provide facilities for grades 7 through 12 for the decade ahead and 29 point out further that this scheme affords the best educa- tional advantages and economy in construction. Mr.Domas offers the same advice. The Educational Specifications prepared and submit- ted to the School Building Assistance Commission point up dis- tinct Educational advantages to continue the Secondary School system as it is if possible.All that has been found to this point is that this Committee is duty bound in the best interest of the Education of our children and the citizens as a whole is to continue the study of the present High School site and the land around it for future school facilities development. In order to bring a study of this type to its final conclusion and make a firm recommendation it is necessary that funds be made available to engage the professional services of an architect and engineer. If this motion we are about to make is voted the first phase of the Architects study known as preliminary plans will be presented to the School Committee and the Advisory Board and to any interested body in the Town before the second step in the motion covering working drawings is undertaken.Harry H.Reed,Jr.,Chairman School Facilities Committee Voted unanimously by a voice vote,that the report of this committee be accepted and the committee be continued. Voted unanimously by a voice vote,that the sum of $35,000.00 be and hereby is appropriated from available cash in the Treasury for the purpose of obtaining prelimin- ary plans,detailed plans and specifications for additional school facilities to be located at the High School site ad- jacent to the existing school;and further that said School Facilities Committee be and hereby is authorized to act on behalf of the Town in all matters necessary or incidental to accomplishing the same .

TO THE CITIZENS OF COHASSET: In accordance with Chapter 40A Section 6 of the Gen- eral Laws,the Planning Board held a public hearing on the evening of November 4th,1965,for the purpose of consid- ering the amendment proposed to the Zoning By-Law under Article 2 of the Warrant for the Town Meeting of November 9,1965,and further submits this report thereon.

Ashowof hands indicated approximately 34 in favor and none opposed. 35 The Planning Board feels that as this proposed amend- ment can only apply to the area now covered by the Black Rock House,that here the proposed modern construction would not be unsightly,that the need for the proposed apart- ment hotel does exist,and that a substantial tax revenue without significant increases in municipal services would result,therefore the proposed amendment should be acted on favorably.

CLARENCE M.GRASSIE, Chairman 54 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Sur- veyor for the year ending December 31,1965. The Department worked on street drainage during the winter and spring.Fifty-three catch basins were instaUed and 4200'of 10"and 12"pipe was laid.Two and one -half miles of Mix-in-Place was laid in various sections of Town. This work will continue . In a period of ten years,the Department has in- stalled 245 catch basins,laid 24,880'of drain pipe,and resurfaced 24 miles of streets. New street signs were installed,repaired,and painted.Street painting was extended this year,and will continue. 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 streets approved by the state for such aid. The town will receive $23,045.28 which has been made available by the Legislature from the proceeds of the bond issue,chapter 679 acts of 1965.Two-thirds of this money can be used this year and will be applied to Forest Avenue.Reconstruction of a 2,000'section from Forest Notch to Wheelwright Park will be advertised by the DPW in the spring. All the articles assigned to the department were completed.In closing,I would like to recommend the town purchase a street sweeper.This machine could be used for a period of eight months,and would give the town a service which cannot be duplicated by the present system. I wish to thank the Town Officials,the citizens of Cohasset,and the men on the Highway Department who have assisted me through the year. LOUIS C.BAILEY,JR.,Highway Surveyor 55 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE The third Monday of each month at 8:00 p.m.at the Cohasset High School. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS WILLIAM RIPLEY,Jr. Helen Mitchell,Bookkeeper Ruth Bacigalupo,Secretary School Physician -Dr.Robert T.Sceery School Nurses -Ethel Gormley,R.N. Jean Thompson,R.N. School Dentist -Dr.William Matteson,Jr. 1965 SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT To meet the demands of coming years for more skills and knowledge,Cohasset Schools strive to educate each student to his maximum capacity.Believing high standards are supported by our citizens and ever mindful of the greater cost of excellence in education,this School Committee seeks to obtain full value for every dollar spent. Nevertheless,it is frustrating to find that percentage increases of total expenditures continue to rise faster than pupil enrollments.Furthermore,the General Court con- tinues to raise minimum pay for teachers ($5000 effective September 1965)without providing tax relief for local real estate nor even adopting educational reforms recommended by the Willis -Harrington Report. The most significant and timely change during 1965 was the approval by the Congress and President Johnson of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act known as Public Law 89-10.Thus,the Federal Government stepped in to support education at all levels,whereas,heretofor payments were made only on account of students whose 56 parents are employed in National Defense (PL-874)and only for certain specific subjects (Guidance,Science,For- eign Language)provided by the National Defense Education Act (PL-864). Under Title ni of PL 89-10 this committee gave ap- proval to join the towns of Hull,Hanover,Marshfield, Plymouth-Carver,Scituate and Duxbury in a proposal seek- ing the creation of a regional education research and de- velopment center known as "Project Lighthouse."This South Shore Schools Systems Center could receive a grant for use in providing programs and improved educational opportunities that no one town could afford. The projected need for additional secondary facilities for the fall of 1967 was passed on to the School Facilities Committee.Educational specifications for a separate Junior High School and additional space at the present High School were approved for further study. After receiving reports from both the school adminis- tration and the architect,Mr.Richard Rosane,this com- mittee approved as educationally sound and economical additions to be attached to the high school. The ratio system of pay for teachers,adopted in the 1965 budget,went into effect in September with a minimum salary of $5100.The relatively low turnover in overall teaching staff attests to the attractiveness of this plan which will be continued in 1966 with a minimum of $5300, We are sure to be joined by past members in ex- pressing appreciation to Mr.Osborne F.Ingram for his wise guidance during 12 years as a member of this com- mittee and our chairman for 11 years. As ever,we are grateful to Superintendent William Ripley,Jr.for his enthusiasm,common sense and pro- fessional skill in providing the vital leadership for our schools. SUMNER SMITH,Jr.,Chairman LOT E,BATES KATHERINE STANTON PAUL M.DONOVAN ROBERT B.HARKNESS T.GERARD KEATING 57 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Currently in the educational world there are many ex- perimental pro grams and innovations being tried and tested. Therefore I have encouraged our staff members to become acquainted with these theories and techniques and to eval- uate,adopt,and adapt those methods and materials which would best serve our needs.Staff members have attended national,regional and state institutes,workshops,and lectures during the past year.With the assistance of the South Shore Mental Health Clinic,a half day institute on Mental Health was held within this school system.In 1965 the teachers have taken a total of 54 courses in their re- spective fields at several institutions.Consequently I believe that our staff has shown that individually they are concerned with keeping up-to-date in todays s fast moving educational world.Presently the primary school is espec- ially interested in studying the less rigid grade line restric- tions to curriculum development and organization.At Deer Hill a continued effort has been made for refining the group- ing methods in the skill subjects.Through team teaching, the High School has made an attempt to revitalize the teaching of United States History.More details of these and other activities in curriculum development were presented in the revived publication of 'Tour Cohasset Schools"in its fall issue. The graduating class numbering 117 was the largest in the schooPs history.Of these 64 entered four year colleges or universities;7 entered two year colleges;and 14 enrolled at technical or specialized schools. I should like to express my appreciation for the fine quality of administration provided by the principals of our schools,Mrs,O'Quin completed 9 years of able adminis- tration and leadership in the Joseph Osgood School.At her request,Mrs.O'Quin has been assigned to teach the first grade.Mr.Giuliano,principal of the Cohasset High School, deserves commendation for his energetic leadership of that school.Mr.Creamer continues to display his sound judg- ment with the intermediate pupils at Deer Hill.Last Sep- tember Mrs.Catherine Mulcahy efficiently assumed admin- istrative duties at the Joseph Osgood School.Also I extend 58 my appreciation for the years of tireless service rendered by Mrs .Elinor Kennedy who first taught elementary pupils in Cohasset in 1924,In June Mrs.Kennedy retired after many years of fine teaching. Certainly the citizens of Cohasset owe a debt of grat- itude to Mr.Osborne F.Ingram for his 11 years as Chair- man of the Cohasset School Committee .When Mr .Ingram^s term expired last March,he was not a candidate for re- election.Mr.Ingram *s careful and conscientious guidance and advice will be missed. It has been gratifying to work with the dedicated people who are members of the Cohasset School Committee.For their patience and understanding I am most grateful .

We try in a small way to impart a bit of oral health instruc- tion into the busy schedule of our modern youth,and it is gratifying to note that the general oral health of the children has vastly improved during the past twenty -five years . I would like to express my appreciation to Mrs. Gormley and the School Staff for their many favors through- out the school year. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM G.MATTESON,D.M.D. 66 REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE This has been a most gratifying year.June 1965 marked the end of our third school year and the graduation of our first three year class o For this class the number of job opportunities far exceeded the number of graduates and the pay offered was ,therefore,higher than ever.Industry is becoming aware of the quality of our product. In September 1965 we began our fourth school year with 246 pupils enrolled in the day school and 130 in the evening trade extension courses.The latter courses are offered to upgrade the tradesmen of the area and the pro- gram has been well received. It is our hope that more parents will come to realize the splendid opportunities for training and placement offered by this school .The fact that many of the students come from non-regional communities indicates that neighboring towns are well aware of the schooPs contribution to the area.The new regional vocational schools soon to be opened in the Brockton and Canton areas are an indication of widespread public recognition of the value of vocational training. As has been our policy in the past,the Advisory Boards and Finance Committees of all regional towns were invited to attend the School Committee budget meetings and to participate in the discussions.This has been a most ef- fective arrangement since it allows active participation in the discussions and decisions being made. A relatively new activity of the school which probably has not come to the attention of many residents is the re- training of chronically unemployed persons.This activity has been conducted for the Division of Employment Security and is paid for entirely by the Federal Government.A sub- stantial benefit to the school district is the considerable amount of equipment supplied by the Federal Government. All of this equipment becomes the property of the school district when the courses are completed.This program has been most successful.During the past year,seventy persons have been enrolled in three courses.All have 67 finished the courses and have found steady employment. A new activity which is being explored with the school Superintendents of the six member towns is some type of limited vocational manipulative training for the academically non-gifted students .Just what form this training will take can not be predicted at this time,but it is being given much attention both at the federal and the state level and hope- fully will develop into a worthwhile project.The programs will be financed almost entirely by federal or state money. We look forward to the years ahead,and to con- tinued service to our youth and to our industry. JOHN A.GEARY Cohasset Representative South Shore Regional School District Committee SCHOOL FACILITIES REPORT -1965 During the past year the School Facilities Committee has geen engaged in a study of enrollment projections, meetings with the School Building Assistance Commission and the interviewing and selection of architects. After careful consideration of all of the school build- ing needs and methods of solving them and having obtained the approval of the School Committee,it has been decided to recommend to the Town that additions be made to the present Junior -Senior High School on Pond Street as the best solution to the building needs at this level from an educational as well as an economical point of view.To accomplish this it will be necessary to obtain 16 acres of land adjacent to the present property. The firm of Drummey,Rosane,Anderson,2276 Washington Street,Newton Lower Falls,were selected as architects and engineers. HARRY H.REED,JR.,Chairman School Facilities Committee 68 REPORT OF THE COHASSET INCINERATOR COMMITTEE Chapter 599 of the Acts of 1960 was entitled as fol- lows: AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE INCINERA- TION OF CERTAIN REFUSE AND GARBAGE COLLECTED IN THE TOWNS OF COHASSET , HINGHAM,HULL AND WEYMOUTH OR ANY TWO OR MORE CONTIGUOUS TOWNS OF SAID GROUP AND CREATING THE SOUTH SHORE INCINERATOR AUTHORITY AND DEFINING ITS POWER AND DUTIES This was enabling legislation permitting the towns referred to therein to proceed jointly with the establishment of a South Shore Incinerator Authority if they so desired. The last section of this Act reads as follows: 'This Act shall take full effect only upon its acceptance by the Towns of Cohasset,Hing- ham,Hull and Weymouth,or any two or more contiguous towns of said group,by the vote of a majority of the town meeting members or voters,as the case may be,present and voting thereon at an annual or special town meeting called for the purpose in each of said towns and upon the filing of certifi- cates of such acceptances with the State Secretary;provided,that such acceptances and filing occur before June 1,1963.'' Since this enabling legislation has expired,no such j oint venture can now be entered into .Further ,the develop - ments in the several towns indicate that there is not much likelihood of a demand for renewal of such enabling legis- lation,Weymouth has built its own incinerator which is now in operation.Hingham has closed its old dump and has established a new dimip in which the so-called sanitary land fill procedures are being followed .Hingham's Incinerator Committee has been disbanded.Hull has for the present decided to continue with its present dump.HulPs Inciner- ator Committee has been disbanded.Scituate,the only 69 other town adjoining Cohasset,is continuing the operation of its two dumps and at present has no interest in inciner- ation. Thus it is apparent that so long as the present pro- cedures are continued in Hingham,Hull and Scituate,the incineration problem is not likely to arise in Cohasset. Your Committee reminds the Town that there is on file in the Town Clerk's office a paper entitled ''Report on Incineration,Cohasset and Hull"prepared in January 1962 by the Boston engineering firm of Fay,Spofford &Thorn- dike,InCo giving an estimate of what incineration would costshouldanincinerator be jointly established by Cohasset and Hull.If the incineration question should arise in the future,this report would serve as a good starting point for further investigations. The facts outlined indicate that the Cohasset Incin- erator Committee should be discharged,and the Committee so requests.

DAVID E.TRUESDELL, Treasurer 71 REPORT OF THE COHASSET PUBLIC SEWERAGE SYSTEM STUDY COMMITTEE The Study Committee reports the following developments in 1965. (1)At the Town election March 13 the voters approved, by the decisive margin of 978 to 740,acceptance of enabling legislation authorizing the Town of Cohasset to construct and operate a system or systems of sewerage and sewage disposal.(Chapter 65 of the Acts of 1962,as amended by Chapter 104 of the Acts of 1964). (2)Detailed plans and specifications including detailed cost estimates were completed by the engineering firm of Fay,Spofford and Thorndike and delivered to the Study Committee.These plans are in accordance with previous descriptions except that the building housing pumps and control equipment is placed on Town property behind the Water Department building on Elm Street,instead of ad- jacent to the treatment works in Jacobus Meadow.The area covered is unchanged,with 1.3 miles of sewer mains and about 125 connections serving Cohasset village.Elm Street, Elm Court and much of the Harbor area (see 1964 map). Design of sewer main sizes and treatment plant has been carried out to provide for economical expansion of the sys- tem to include all areas of the Town,if the Town wants ex- pansion and votes the money.Total cost of the system, including engineering supervision,contingency and land costs is now estimated to be $484,000,but this would be subjecttoa reduction of $18 7,000 by application for Federal grants now available.The increase in estimate above the $405,000 figure of 1964 is due partly to rising construction costs and partly to specification of some improved equip- ment. (3)Having authorized final payment to the engineers,the Study Committee gives the following recapitulation of ex- penditures authorized by the Town at various times for planning,investigation and reports: 72 $1,000 under article 30,1960 Town Meeting 500 under article 25,1961 Town Meeting 2,000 under article 35,1962 Town Meeting 20,800 under article 33,1963 Town Meeting $24,300 Total expenditures authorized and made through December 31,1965 (4)Several acts have been passed by Congress in 1965 providing grants in connection with public sewerage sys- tems or amending previous acts to liberalize grants.The Study Committee has obtained information and ascertained that some of these grants can only be used by communities in economically distressed areas or areas of high unemploy- ment.Cohasset does not qualify for such grants.However, public law 8 9-1 17 provides 50 per cent grants for construc- tion of public sewerage system (excluding treatment plant) and water system facilities.From the wording of the law it appears that Cohasset would be eligible to apply for and receive such a grant.This law will be administered by the new Department of Housing and Urban Development.Eligi- bility requirements and application procedures have not yet been worked out at the time of writing this report.How- ever,the Study Committee has written to the Housing and Home Finance Agency describing the status of the system planned for Cohasset and requesting information on appli- cation procedures and eligibility requirements when they are available.The Study Committee feels that a grant of this sort would be an extremely strong incentive for the Town to proceed as rapidly as possible with construction. The estimate of the cost of street sewer mains is $224,000. A grant of 50 per cent would save the town $112,000 of this cost.If the balance is shared in the proportion of two- thirds by the abutters and one -third by the town,as recom- mended by the Advisory Committee in 1964,the necessary assessment and connection fees would be very close to those described in 1964.An assessment of $4 .00 per front foot plus one cent per square foot of area to a maximum depth of 200 feet would be adequate,in conjimction with a street connection fee of approximately $165.The average assess- ment for the properties served by the system recommended on this method of assessment would be $430.The total assessment and connection fee could be amortized on a long- term basis (for example,twenty years)through arrange- ments that will be set up by the Sewer Commissioners. 73 (5)Because of the previous developments the Study Com- mittee voted to present to the Town again in March 1966 articles providing for authorization and funds to construct the recommended sewerage system.This is essentially the same system recommended in 1964 and approved by the Advisory Committee at that time.Although the total cost is higher than in 1964,the net cost to the Town would be lower,withthe Federal grant now available for construction of sewer mains .Each year of delay means an increase in construction costs until the time comes when delay is no longer possible.The cost of a well -designed new system for a four -bedroom house or repair of a difficult problem on an existing system often reaches a figure of $1,000,and in many cases may exceed this.Such costs,as well as the cost of pumping out septic tanks and cesspools must be kept in mind in weighing the costs of a public sewerage system, which provides the only satisfactory permanent way of dis- posing of sewage.Approximately half of Massachusetts towns with a population between 5,000 and 10,000 have a public sewerage system.Towns with population over 10,000 have systems,virtually without exception.Hingham,Scit- uate,and Rockland are building public sewerage systems. Cohas set will be in a very backward and disadvantaged posi- tion in comparison with other towns of its size and other towns nearby if a start is not made soon. (6)An addition is being planned for the Cohasset High School -Junior High School complex.The older part of the sewage disposal system at the high school has given trouble in the past,is not working properly now,and will have to be completely replaced.The newer part of the system will also have to be replaced because of location of part of the new building in its area.The Town is thus faced with con- struction of a large and expensive individual sewage disposal system to serve existing buildings with the new additions. If the Town approves construction of the recommended sew- erage system the treatment plant would have the capacity to take care of the waste from the high school.The engi- neers have estimated that a line from the high school down Pleasant Street to Cushing Road,along Cushing Road and then across to Jacob's Meadow and the treatment plant could be built for approximately $155,000,including engineering 74 fees and contingencies.The Study Committee is strongly of the opinion it would make much better sense for the town to start the recommended sewage system and then start immediate plans for construction as soon as possible of the line from the high school.The saving of construction cost of a very extensive system at the high school could very well offset a large part of the town^s share of a sewer main from the high school to the treatment plant.Comparative cost figures will be presented at Town Meeting,with the cooperation of the School Facilities Committee.

The increase in expenditure in 1965 is largely due to the advance in the cost of hospitalization and other medical services.An increase in the LTA item in the OAA pro- gram,effective 11-1-65,was the only budgetary increase. 75 New Cases Total Cases Visits 2 1 in 10 1 5 2 10 1 198 115 16 49 Total .378 We wish to thank Mrs.Wright,Social Worker of the Social Service League and MrSo Lundin and her nursing staff,for their assistance in providing services to our clients .

We are grateful to Mrs .Oliver for her understanding and constructive support in a variety of situations. GUNHILD Fo LUNDIN,R.N. Director Nursing Service 76 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS As a result of the vote of the Town meeting,author- izing a $180,000 bond issue,your Water Department has constructed a two million gallon standpipe,in which to store water in a clean and sanitary method »This will also in- crease the pressure throughout the entire system. We have also laid approximately six thousand feet of twelve inch water main along route 3-A,from King Street to Beechwood Street. There is still a small distance to go to complete the project.This will help greatly the flow of water for fire protection,as is required by the Fire Insurance Rating Association. The drought has caused great concern to the Water Department and a continuing search for water must be main- tained . The Water Department is greatly interested in the development of Aaron River ,as a potential source of water, and feel that a request for a Chapter 91 project should be made.The greater portion of this water should be made to flow directly into Lily Pond,instead of flowing out to the ocean. The Massachusetts Department of Public Works has made a preliminary survey of this project,and we are now waiting for the report of the survey. The Water Commissioners will strive to make better- ments and improve the system within our earning capacity.

Various meetings and Conferences have been at- tended duringtheyear -the Massachusetts Library Associ- ation at Provincetown,the New England Library Association 82 at Portsmouth,New Hampshire,and the Old Colony Library Association.I have also attended meetings of the Library Administrators Association of Greater Boston and kept in touch with the progress of the formation of the Eastern Region.The completion of this Regional setup has been held up by a legal formality concerning the Boston Public Library.Progress has been made,notably the ability to borrow freely from the Boston Public Library and we are confident the remaining problems will be settled shortly. Mrs.Evelyn Wood,the Children's Librarian,has attended round table discussions at neighboring Libraries concerning Children's Books and Services.She also con- ducts the Children's Story Hour held each Saturday morning at 10:30. In September we had a meeting of representatives from the Schools ,School Committee and the Parent Teach- er's Association with the Library Directors and Trustees. This meetingwas held to discuss ways and means of obtain- ing better cooperation between the School faculty ,Librarians and Public Librarians. A Great Book Group meets at the Library on the first and third Thursday of each month.This Group is sponsored by the Library and conducted by Mrs.Richard A.Welch. We have had continuous Art Exhibits throughout the year by courtesy of the South Shore Art Center and private individuals . Statistics for the year are as follows: New Registrations 476 Registrations withdrawn 358 Number of books added 1734 Number of books withdrawn 1718 Total volumes in Library (est.)29,259 Adult circulation 52 ,360 Juvenile circulation 32,688 TOTAL 85,048 Respectfully submitted, SARAH E.HEYWOOD,Librarian 83 PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY Receipts and Expenditures for Year Ending December 31, 1965c RECEIPTS Balance January 1,1965 $35.09 Town Appropriation 28,500.00 Dues,Fines etc.2,017.24 Cohasset Free Public Library 275.00 Towle Memorial Book Fund 236.00 Blue Cross Premium Refund 2.88 Book Refund 4.50 Donation for Book 5.30 Mass.Withholding Tax Fee 6.23 Tax Adjustment 1.59 $31,083.83 EXPENDITURES Books and Magazines 5,033.84 Heat and Light 2,160.17 Insurance 928.06 Postage 330o61 Repairs and Maintenance 1,361.88 Supplies 879.99 Salaries 17,000.00 Part Time Help 1,476.87 Social Security 622.59 Telephones 161.64 Conventions,Dues,Flowers,Auto Mileage, Xmas Greens,etc.327.19 Bank Service Charges 21.90 Safe Deposit Box 15.00 Balance January 1,1966 764.09 $31,083.83 Respectfully Submitted HAROLD F,BARNES,Treasurer 84 REPORT OF THE COHASSET CONSERVATION COMMISSION The work of the Conservation Commission has been varied in 1965.Some of the more interesting and important activities in which we were involved are as follows: The preservation of marshland for conservation purposes,that is,to provide a food source for our coastal fisheries,rest areas for our visiting waterfowl and other bird life,and a source of natural beauty and enjoyment to our townspeople,is one of the major concerns of the Con- servation Commission.Towards this end we have been studying these areas inCohasset with a view to making sure they remain in their natural state.The Commission was granted conservation easements through the generosity of Mrs.E.B.Boardman and Mrs.William Cox on marshland owned by them on Howard Gleason Road off Atlantic Avenue » Commission members have talked with other owners of marshland in the vicinity and it is probable that additional conservation easements will be granted here in the near future.Under an easement of this type,the owner retains possession of the property but agrees to restrict its use so that there will be no change in the natural state of the land by filling,excavating or dumping and that no building or structure will be erected on it.Mr.Charles L.Smith was made an associate member of the Commission in 1965.He will be primarily concerned with working with other mem- bers of the Commission to acquire or control by easement marshland in the Gulf area.Our Commission is working closely with the Scituate Conservation Commission in this area of mutual interest. The Commission was responsible for having the Norfolk County Conservation District make a survey of Ellms Meadow,an area of eleven acres off Spring Street and Cushing Road consisting of wooded land and a small pond, as well as meadow.The purpose of the survey was to deter- mine what steps could be taken to improve the area from a conservation and recreation point of view without disturbing the activities of the Water Department,which has juris- diction over the land.An excellent report was received from the Conservation District,at no cost to the town,in 85 which suggestions and recommendations were made to achieve the desired results.A meeting will be held early in 1966 with interested town committees and private groups participating to plan a definite program to carry out the recommendations given in the report. The Commission continued to work closely with the Board of Selectmen to see that the Zoning Bvlaw (Section 4 Paragraph E)which concerns filling of marshlands ,etc .,was enforced.For the most part,persons undertaking filling activity,so informed by the Selectmen,made application for a permit to the Board of Appeals and in every case a permit was granted.It is interesting to note that at some hearings before the Board of Appeals information was brought out that was of real benefit to the applicant by way of abetter understanding of how drainage should be handled on his land and what the effect of what he was doing,in re- gard to filling,had on the adjoining land. Members of the Commission have attended meetings of other town committees during the year and plan to do this on a regular basis in the coming year.We think that there is not enough exchange of ideas between the various official groups within the town government system in Cohasset and hope that the extra time Commission members spend on this will be rewarding. Aprojectwe started in 1965 and plan to devote more time to in coming years is to work closely with the Cohasset Schools to help interest our young people in conservation. Interesting speakers at school assemblies,encouraging conservation projects at the Science Fair,providing the school librarian with books and descriptive material on con- servation,and making use of our "natural laboratories" such as could exist at Ellms Meadow and other areas in town,are some of the ways of accomplishing this goal. We are sorry to report the resignation in 1965 of two members of the Commission,Mrs.Richardson White and Mr.Robert Kilmarx.Both contributed a great deal to the accomplishments of the Commission as a whole and their loss will be felt for a long time to come. EDWARD F.WOODS ROSCOE E,SHERBROOKE GEORGE W.BENEDICT JOHN F.HUBBARD,Chairman 86 SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT To the Citizens of the Town of Cohasset: Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities in the Town of Cohasset for the year ending October 31,1965. The Town of Cohasset appropriated $4200 for mos- quito control in 1965.Alongwiththis $800 was appropriated for salt marsh maintenance.This was used for mosquito control in the Town of Cohasset by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project,a cooperative effort under General Laws, Chapter 252,embracing the City of Quincy and the Towns of Braintree,Cohasset,Duxbury,Hingham,Hull,Marsh- field,Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth,a total of 172.21 square miles,servicing a population of over 222,824. The project operates year round,continuing to base its operations on a three phase program;Permanent Control, the elimination of mosquito breeding sites by proper water management;Preventive Control,the elimination of mos- quito larvae by spraying or dusting breeding sites;Adult Control,the elimination of the flying mosquitoes by space spraying or fogging. With this as the basic plan the following was accom- plished in the Town of Cohasset this year. PERMANENT CONTROL 2300 feet of drainage were reclaimed and 300 feet of new drainage ditch were trenched to reduce water from be- coming stagnant enough to produce mosquitoes. PREVENTIVE CONTROL 275 acres of small isolated woodland swamp were prehatch treated with dust upon ice in winter months to pre- vent the development of the mosquito eggs.1053 acres of larger swamp areas were larval treated in the spring of the year by air from a helicopter aircraft to control mosquitoes of the early season. 87 Duringthe summer seas on many wet areas had to be checked for their larval and pupal content.Areas like the salt marsh had to be rechecked as much as three and four times.Wherever mosquito larvae and pupae were found the conditions were remedied by spraying or removing the water container.611 gallons of insecticide were applied for this larval/pupal control. Catchbasins,a source of a great number of mosquito larvae,may have to be treated as often as three times a season,depending on wet or dry season.It was necessary to treat 150 basins in the Town of Cohasset this year. ADULT CONTROL Spray for adult mosquitoes becomes necessary when complaints are received of large numbers of mosquitoes moving into an area.These mosquitoes usually migrate from uncontrolled areas outside of the project's boundaries, or come from man-created conditions around homes where any type of container containing water will breed the culex or house mosquito.The project received 1027 calls last season.Action in some form was taken on all. In the Town of Cohasset 1187 gallons of insecticide were space sprayed for adult mosquitoes with hydraulic sprayer and mist blower. When weather and other conditions were favorable an insecticidal thermal fogger was used.15 gallons of insecticide and oil in a fog were applied at the rate of 4-1/2 gallons to the acre in the Town of Cohasset. INSECTICIDES The insecticides used by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project are: DDT Dust DDT Emulsions Malathion Emulsion Malathion Miscible in oil,fog DiBrom 14 in oil,fog Baytex Emulsions,catchbasins #2 Oil 88 All insecticides are registered and are labelled for use in mosquito control.They are formulated and applied in accord with and at no greater amounts than their labels recommend to be proper for mosquito control operations. The project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the towns and city and sincerely hopes that benefits derived by these departments as a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the project. The main purpose of this project is to "Control." This means to prevent large populations of mosquitoes from emerging from their breeding sites to infest communities, not by any means to completely eradicate the mosquitoes. Yet the number of calls received by the project this past season (1027)a comparatively low breeding year,would indicate that many of the townspeople by their calls have either lost sight of this fact or do not understand the func- tions of a control project. Many of the calls were for a personalized type of backyard adult spray or a routine tj^e neighborhood spray where no great mosquito problem exists.This type of oper- ation is wrong for many reasons,a few being: It is wasteful in both material and labor, it takes personnel away from more practical work, and most important,the unnecessary use of insect- icides can endanger the environment. In the future request calls shall be more scrutinized. Before insecticides are to be used there shall be a mosquito problem. REPORT OF TREE WARDEN -1965 Care of the shade trees of the town this past year was carried on in a routine manner.Several trees in a dangerous condition were cut down as a safety measure. Roadside brush was cleared in several areas,particularly Pond Street,to promote safety.Considerable pruning of 89 large trees was done with the help of a Skyworker.The Brockton Edison Company cooperated in clearing deadwood and overhanging branches over wires . Eighteen (18)trees were planted in various places about town where needed.Vandalism has made it necessary to replant trees in several places . Continued drought has made it necessary to water newly planted trees to keep them alive and has damaged large trees growing under unfavorable conditions. The Public Shade Trees of the town are now in fairly good condition,but many are in danger of damage by soil com- paction caused by parking of cars.Curbing,especially on Elm Street,would make it possible to plant more young trees. With thanks to all officials and citizens who by their comments have assisted me in my work. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES,Tree Warden REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT -1965 Insect damage and Dutch Elm Disease have been comparatively light this past year. Cankerworms again appeared in the Forest Avenue- Golf Club area,but use of the Mist Blower only was neces- sary to control them. Elms were sprayed with Thiodan and Aramite to control elm leaf beetles ,aphids ,and mites with very good results . Cankerworms and other chewing and noxious pests were very well controlled by the use of Sevin,a new and comparatively safe insecticide. 90 POISON IVY CONTROL Poison Ivy Control was continued with the use of Ester on Brush Killer,and very little Poison Ivy is to be found in exposed places . DUTCH ELM DISEASE Methoxychlor,a comparatively safe insecticide to humans and wildlife ,was used as a dormant spray to all elm trees that could be reached by truck. The continued program for Dutch Elm Disease Con- trol,consistingof a dormant spray and a sanitation program has cutD .E .D .losses to the lowest point in years ,36 .Only seven (7)of these could be considered public shade trees, and none were found on the Common or on adjacent streets. All free falling diseased trees have been cut,and the remaining 18 to be topped will be removed by early spring.All citizens noticing sudden wilting or yellowing of elm leaves in June and July,the symptoms of Dutch Elm Disease,are urged to call the Moth Superintendent. Respectfully submitted , HOWARD BATES Moth Superintendent CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT I herewith submit the Civil Defense Report for the year ending December 31,1965. The additional 200 bed hospital is now complete. This gives the Town a 400 bed hospital complete with emer- gency medical supplies. All medical supplies were inventoried,replaced and added to where necessary. The Town warning system was inspected periodically during the year.One new radio (receiver -transmitter)was added to our commimications system. 91 Regular monthly radio drills are held in conjunction with Sector 2D Headquarters. The two exercises conducted statewide to test the ability of local communities to receive a warning notice were received over the teletype facilities in our Police Headquarters allowing us to reply promptly to them.These messages also are received over a receiver located in the Fire Station and are broadcast by the State Police. These methods of communication and the radios we have,we believe,give us a good communication coverage. Lists of all doctors and nurses who live in the Town are currently being up-dated. Programpapers and staffing reports have been pre- pared,filed and approved as required. It is expected that a course for school teachers will be held early in 1966 at the Bridgewater State College in "Personal and Family Survival".This will be a 15 hour course.Those completing the course will be entitled to serve as an Instructor in their local communities . HARRY H,REED,JR„,Director REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT I wish to express the department's and my personal appreciation to you,and all civic organizations for your support during the past year. We are deeply indebted to the residents of Cohasset for their continuing acceptance of fair,impartial and cour- teous enforcement of the laws ,and the respect shown the police officers by the citizens generally is indeed gratifying. The assistance and cooperation of the press,all town departments and other municipal,county,state and federal law enforcement agencies has contributed materially to our operation. 92 The 1965 Annual Report of the police department is herewith submitted.The last quarter of 1965 already in- dicates that we will continue to have challenges in our efforts to apply a high level of service and protection to the citizens . As Chief of Police for the Town of Cohasset,I have the honor to present,in compliance with provisions of Article 3,Section 3 of the By-Laws,a report of the Cohasset Police Department for the year ending December 31,1965.

To continue the useful life of Engine 3 it is necessary to re- build the motor and replace the now leaking water tank.Upon com- pletion of this work it should be capable of several more years of service.This course of action seems to me to be more sensible and economical than early replacement. PERSONNEL There are presently employed sixteen permanent officers and firefighters in the Fire Department.These men are divided into three work groups,each commanded by an officer and working 56 hours per week.The manpower on these three groups is then divided again and assigned to Fire Headquarters,North Cohasset and Beechwood.

Call officers and call firefighters are assigned to the various companies as follows: HEADQUARTERS Engine 1 E.J.Antoine W.E.Poland J.A.Silvia B.W.Pratt C.W.Frates E.H.Pratt R.L.Yocum T.M.Healy,Jr. R.W.Rosano R.P.Grassie Engine 4 E.P.Barrow C.J.Dickson J.A.Migliaccio L.R.Curley W.D.Enos N.J.Delaney H.H.Ritter Ladder 1 R.V.Andrews R.F.Leonard F.H.Tilden H.M.Silvia R.A.Dion W.H.McArthur H.Williams,Jr. A.E.Frates E.P.Malley J.W.Rosano Fire Alarm E.R.McArthur, Jr. B.J.Salvador,Jr.M.E.Salvador NORTH COHASSET Engine 2 A.L.Clark D.R.Emanuello J.M.MacNeiU C.T.Cheshire P.V.Emanuello L.D.Sorrentino A.R.Emanuello S.P.Kent C.Pape 98 BEECHWOOD Engines D.F.Ainslie J.J.DelSasso D.L.Kelley H.E.Marsh D.Souther M.H.Stevens S.B.Taylor V.E.Tibbetts L.L.Davis A call firefighter upon the sounding of an alarm leaves his work or home and responds to the fire —this call may come at any time of the day or night.The spirit of helping someone in need is paramount in their mind and for this reason they deserve the thanks and appreciation of the townspeople.The rate of compensation is not great but the risks involved are —their dedication and devotion to duty are to be commended. STATIONS AND EQUIPMENT The three fire stations of the department required some maintenance work.Naturally the Headquarters building being new did not require much more than very minor repair and adjustment. It is apleasant feeling to have people come from other communities to survey this facility and comment on its beauty and practicability. The officers and firefighters of the department maintain not only the interior of the fire department's portion of fhe building but also the exterior and grounds .All the lawns and shrubbery were trimmed and fertilized and all the grass area treated with weed killer and top dressed. The driveway aprons at the North Cohasset Fire Station and the Beechwood Fire Station were rebuilt by the Highway Department with paving material . The foundation and sills at the rear of the North Cohasset Fire Station and Post Office were repaired and put in good order, this workwas done under the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen. The hundreds of tools of the department both large and small were checked continually and necessary repairs and adjustments made.The greatest portion of this work being done by the fire- fighters.Replacements for damaged and overage hose were made, to maintain hose that is capable of service it is necessary to make continual replacement of over age hose.This discarded hose is available for use at the dump,and by the water and hi^way depart- ments . GENERAL All permanent officers and men,plus a group of call fire- fighters attended and were certified by the American Red Cross in Advanced First Aid.Firefighter Richard M.Conley attended and was certified as an instructor by the American Red Cross,this will allow the department to have refresher courses and training within its own ranks. 99 The results of the survey conducted in 1964 by The New England Fire Insurance Rating Association have not yet been final- ized.They are awaiting completion of the improvements to the water distribution system currently under way.When this work is complete fire flow tests will be run and the results computed.This information will then be presented along with their findings and recommendations . A continuing training program is underway within the de- partment.Review of the basic evolutions and studying and trying out new practices is necessary to keep abreast with the changing times.Again,this year,several members at their own expense attended the Fire Training School conducted by the New Hampshire Fire Chiefs'Club. All citizens of the Town are urged to obtain a permit for fires in the open.This is required by the General Laws of the Commonwealth,and may be obtained by calling Fire Headquarters each day an open air fire is desired. The past year has been the driest in many,many years and the fact that the Fire Department responded to fewer grass and brush fires under these extreme conditions is testimony to the results ob- tained by the citizens of Cohasset cooperating and using care in burning in the open.In 1965 the Fire Department issued 1,496 such permits . RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations are for your serious con- sideration. 1.the addition of at least two permanent firefighters to the department to allow the department to function at a safe and efficient minimum strength. 2 .to consider the adoption of a By-Law requiring the installation of a fire detection system in new dwelling construction and the installation of sprinklers in mercantile buildings with large open floor space. APPRECIATION In the year 1965 two members of the department who had long and faithful service as Call Firefighters passed on. Mr.Louis E.Salvador,assigned to Engine 1 and Mr.Bernard J.Salvador,assigned to Engine 1 In concludingthis report I would like to extend to the citizens of Cohasset,the Honorable Board of Selectmen,the heads and mem- bers of all Town Departments and Committees my sincere thanks and appreciation for their cooperation and assistance. I would also like to thank the officers and men of the Fire Department for their understanding,cooperation and assistance. Without these things it would be difficult to carry out the activities of the department.

Engineering studies of the Aaron River have been made,and the Board is awaiting a report on the results of the studies from the Department of Waterways.Senator Weeks and Representative Gates have continued to work closely with the Board on this matter,as have the Aaron River Committee and the Water Commissioners. Final approval of the Harbor Dredging Project was received from the Federal Government during the year .The Town has notified the Federal Government that funds are available for its share of the estimated work.The share to be met by the Commonwealth was not voted in the 1966 bud- get as passed by the legislature .The Board has been advised by the Department of Public Works that the indications are favorable for the passage of this budget item in the up- coming legislative year„ The status of the Hingham Ammunition Depot Annex continues unchanged. During the year,repairs to the Town Clock were completed by Mr.Danf or th Lincoln,Mr.Arnold Weeks,and Mr.Prescott Cumner,who acted both as committee and as workers in completing the work. 152 The Board is especially appreciative of such coop- erative efforts from our townspeople,which matches the high calibre of effort and performance that has been enjoyed throughout the Town Departments, Respectfully submitted, GEORGE W,Mclaughlin,chairman NATHANIEL HURWITZ HELEN E.SCRIPTURE REPORT OF THE AARON RIVER COMMITTEE Honorable Board of Selectmen: Through the efforts of the Board of Selectmen ^d others,a profile and location study of the Aaron River was made available by the Massachusetts Department of Public Works,Waterways Division for our review on 21 January 1966.After discussion with the Cohasset Water Commis- sioners,itwas resolved that a Chapter 91 stream clearance project to eliminate flooding would lower the stream flow line so that the proposed water diversion at the Pumping Station for water supply storage would be both difficult and expensive.Since a drainage study is being requested by the Water Commissioners through Federal assistance,it was concluded that the results of this further study should be available before any master plan for the utilization of Aaron River for water supply is made. So that flooding problems on Aaron River may be relieved,an article is being presented at this 1966 Town Meeting to request an appropriation to clean,repair and otherwise improve the stream flow to its original state with- out significantly changing the stream location or flow line at this time. Respectfully submitted, AARON RIVER COMMITTEE GEORGE E,HALEY STEWART S.SARGENT ROBERT C.BRIGGS,Chairman 153 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH PERSONNEL Anthony W.Vento:Health Agent and Milk Inspector William Matteson,Jr.,D.M.D.:School Dentist Freddie Peterson,M.D.:Pediatrician,Well Baby and well Child Conference Matthew Carr ,D .V .M .:Inspector of Animals and Slaughtering Mrs.G.F.Lundin,R.N.,and Mrs.M.Medeiros,R.N.: Public Health Nursing Services by contract with the Social Service League Edwin H.Pratt and Charles T .Patrolia:Plumbing Inspectors Manual P .Silvia:Superintendent of Town Disposal Area An urgent personnel need was filled when the position of Health Agent was converted in 1965 from a part-time (three days per week)to a full-time basis.Because of the irregular nature of much of the field investigation and in- spection this has resulted in quicker,more effective work in connection with nuisance complaints and installation of sewage disposal systems.The increased time available to the Agent also permits an improved public health program in many areas and a better control of expenses and department- al operations .The Board expresses its grateful recognition for loyal and efficient services rendered in 1965 by its Health Agent,Mr.Vento,and all other personnel. SOIL INVENTORY REPORT A 67 page report was prepared by the Soil Conservat- ion Service,U.S.Department of Agriculture and delivered to the Town in July 1965,with accompanying maps.The re- port was based on aerial photographs ,existing maps ,field surveys ,test borings ,and numerous soil analyses .The first section of the report,''General Soil Areas,"provides inform- ation suitable for broad,overall planning purposes as a zon- ing guide.The section,''Soil Interpretations for Specific Land Uses "furnishes a map and description of the limitations of soils in the Town for the following uses:sewage disposal commercial and industrial sites,home sites,athletic fields, wetland wildlife sites,sources of sand and gravel,roads. i 154 woodlands,relationof soils to surface runoff,and land slope characteristics.The third section is entitled "Description of Soils and Land Types,"and this is supplemented by a technical appendix.Under the sponsorship of the Conserva- tion Commission a public meeting was held at Town Hall on September 8,1965,at which the report was described and town officials and citizens had an opportunity to question Mr. Ritzer,Soil Conservationist,and Mr.Upham,Senior Soil Scientist,who prepared the report.Copies have been dis- tributed to interested Town Departments and to the League of Women Voters,whose interest and activity stimulated the preparation of Article 30 in the 1964 Town Meeting.The cost of the report was $1200,which is a small fraction of the cost to the town if equivalent work had been done by a private engineering firm.Extremely valuable reference material has thus been made available to all Town Departments con- cerenedinany way with land use.The Board of Health Pur- chased a limited number of extra copies of the report which may be obtained from the Health Agent at $2 per copy,the procurement cost. From the standpoint of the Board of Health the most important finding of the report was the extremely small amount of unbuilt land remaining in town that does not have severe limitations (impermeable soil,high water table,bed- rock close to surface,or excessive slope)for individual sew- age disposal.Of the land classified,6490 acres had moder- ate or severe limitations,and only 44 acres,or 0.7%,were generally suitable for this purpose on the basis of the general residential zoning for 20,000-square-foot lots. SUMMARY,CONFIRMED SEWAGE SYSTEM FAILURES,1960-1965 Because nuisances,pollution and resulting dangers to health constitute the most important public health problem for the Town of Cohasset,the Board of Health has reviewed its records of investigation of sewage disposal nuisances during the period of 1960-1965. Confirmed failures of sewage disposal systems are summarized in the table below,but it should be emphasized that the total figure underestimates the true figure by a con- siderable margin.This is due to omission of second or third 155 failures of a system of the same property,correction of nuisances by pum.ping out cesspools or septic tanks before any complaint is made,and pollution problems that undoubtedly exist without being detected. During 1960-1965 it is reasonable to estimate that one property out of every three or four experienced a disposal system failure in the area east of Route 3A,rather than one out of six or seven as shown in the Table.Although there is a concentration of very difficult problems in the center of town and the harbor area,the distribution of sewage complaints verified by investigation is suprisingly uniform over the built - upon areas of town. The Board is more strongly convinced than ever that the only satisfactory solution for Cohasset is a public sewerage system and supports the concept of orderly expansion of the plan to be presented at town meeting,especially to include all our schools at as early a date as practical.

The disposal area has been maintained in a sanitary condition under the efficient operation of the Superintendent. An extension of the fence has been accomplished within the past year,near the dumping area and also at the main gate. The well area has been cleaned out and repacked as recom- mended by the Fire Chief and Water Superintendent,as a measure to increase and maintain our water supply for fire protection.We did have water from the well throughout the summer in spite of the exceptional drought. As you know,the disposal area is constantly expand- ing.Expansion means more gravel,which is expensive, more work andcare by the superintendent ,and more super- vision by the Board of Health.The Board is constantly striving to maintain the disposal area in a sanitary condition and also improve this area to the limit that the budget will allow. At this time,we would like to ask for the cooperation of the townspeople to place their garbage in the containers provided,to dump over the edge when possible or as close to the edge as possible,and to properly secure their trash in their vehicle on the way to the disposal area.Your coop- eration will be appreciated. 157 FOOD HANDLING ESTABLISHMENTS Year-round restaurants Seasonal restaurants,canteens Grocery stores Milk Samples Water Samples Swab tests (utensils) Milk and similar licenses Total number of inspections 11 8 6 28 5 68 25 79 OTHER HEALTH AGENT ACTIYITIES Inspection of day camps,day care service, Nursing homes Total licenses issued Burial permits issued International immunization certifications Antirabies clinic Inoculations Flu vaccine clinic,town employees Receipts to Town Treasurer,fees 10 52 34 73 54 58 $279.50 PLUMBING INSPECTIONS Plumbers registered Permits,new construction Permits,alterations Permit fee collected Fee payment to inspectors 65 31 96 $620.50 $589.00 IMMUNIZATION SUMMARY Well Child Clinic Oral Trivalent polio doses 71 Measles vaccine 107 Smallpox vaccination 28 DPT (63 children)^0 Total 296 School Immunization Grade 1 DPT doses given 55 Grades 5 &9 D&T Boosters J^ Total 190 158 TUBERCULOSIS STATUS Active cases 2 Total cases under Arrested cases 13 supervision 102 Contacts -new 10 Total visits of supervision 187 Three patients hos- pitalized at Norfolk County Hospital with actual or sus- pected TB -333 days Cost to Town $3449.00 DETECTION PROGRAMS Heaf Tuberculin test 436 Public Health Nursing (by contract with Social Service League) Mrso G.F.Lundin,R.N.,and Mrs o M.Medeiros,R.N.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has adopted a new Massachusetts Electrical Code made up by the Depart- ment of Public Safety —Board of Fire Prevention.This new code replaces the old National Code.All Electrical Con- tractors performing wiring and repairs are governed by this code in every Town and City in Massachusetts. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS AND REPAIRS All repairs and new work to Town owned buildings were done by this department.Considerable new wiring in- stallations were done for the Water Department at Station #4 in connection with the new two million gallon Water Tank and new safety devices were installed. FIRE ALARM AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS Five miles of new overhead Fire Alarm wire was in- stalled and two new Fire Boxes .Many miles of overhead wire was repaired due to severe storms.New cross arms and hardware were installed to replace worn out old ones , All Fire Alarm Boxes and Traffic Signal Standards were painted.All Traffic signals were kept in good repair. I wish to express my thanks to the Honorable Board of Selectmen —all Town Officials,and to the men who worked with me. Respectfully yours, EDWARD P,MALLEY Superintendent of Wires 161 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD The report of the Planning Board for 1965 is hereby submitted . The pressures of the expanding metropolitan area continue to be felt by the Town of Cohasset.These pressures are caused by the saturation of residential land close to the urban area and by improved highway transportation facilities from the suburbs to the urban center.To add to this pres- sure,the plans are now firm for an MBTA rapid transit extension as far as Hingham.Many more new people will plan to move to South Shore communities. Cohasset at such a time finds itself with a zoning by- law which allows 20,000 sq.ft.lots throughout most of the town and is the only town for miles around that is zoned so loosely.It finds itself with crowded schools but with no land reserved for future school sites.Such sites have been re- commended annually since the Benjamin Report of 1961.It finds itself with a serious water supply problem which can only be solved by capturing and storing more surface water. Butas the number of houses and cesspools increase the area from which suitable water can be collected is reduced. It is because of these conditions that the proposed Zoning Bylaw was presented to the Special Town Meeting for action on November ninth.It was the fateful night of the Great Blackout of the Northeast and because so many voters stayed away we think the town should vote again.The Plan- ning Board is therefore presenting the identical bylaw for action at the forthcoming Annual Town Meeting in March. Your only hope of controlling the growth of the town and the taxrate is to adopt this proposed bylaw. And while the Town is considering zoning bylaws the creation of new building lots goes on unabated.During the year three subdivisions were approved under the Subdivision Control Law containing a total of 93 lots .Twenty of these were at Forest Ave.and North Main St.,twenty more on a new road off Brewster Rd.in the Ledgewood Estates,and fifty-three on Fair Oaks Lane off Sohier St.As this is being written a preliminary plan for 102 houses on 12,000 sq.ft. lots has been proposed in Beechwood.This development 162 alone can put 200 more children in our schools. Thirty more lots were created during the year by dividing land that had frontage on existing streets o This means that the spaces between houses is growing smaller and that our town is rapidly losing the look of a sprawling country town which is the very thing that makes it so attrac- tive.The need for a properly restrictive zoning bylaw can- not be over stressed. Again the Planning Board acknowledges with gratitude the services of the men on its Zoning Advisory Committee, namely:Donald J.Evans,Louis F.Eaton,Jr.,Roger B. Coulter,David E.Place,and Raymond G.Buckley.We also wish to thank the other boards and officers of the town for their continued support and cooperation. Very truly yours, ALBERT HABERSTROH,Chairman Cohasset Planning Board 163 REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Committee has met regularly on the second Thursday of each month to attend Personnel needs » Committee recommendations to the Town Meeting of March 1965 proposed the Town to give a 4%pay increase to regular full time hired employees ,and further to increase the allowable paid sick leave from 90 to 120 days.The townspeople approved of these recommendations by vote. At theendof 1964 the pay grade of most of Cohasset^s employees was slightly above the average of the surrounding towns.(Hull,Hingham,Scituate,Weymouth,Rockland, Norwell,Hanover,and Marshfield.) It is the hope of this Committee that the above in- dicated 4%raise will be sufficient to allow Cohasset to retain its reasonable pay position. We thank all townspeople for their cooperation in operations of this Committee. Respectfully submitted, G,G.CROCKER R,W,JAMES R«D.SARNELL lo STOUGHTON,JR.
