There was pending in Norfolk Superior Court an appeal from a de- cision entered several years ago.During 1968,this appeal was dismissed without cost to the Town. All the money expended by the Appeal Board from its 1968 budget was for advertising of public hearings on applications for variances or for special permits. Respectfully submitted, Cohasset Board Of Appeals ROGER B.COULTER,Chairman 58 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS The Water Department is required by statute to operate from in- come and not through tax revenue.Consequentiy,its capital improve- ment program was curtailed during the past year due to insufficient in- come.The only major undertaking accomplished was the installation of a new pump and the reactivation of one of the Sohier Street wells,thus increasing their yield.Contrary to general belief,we are still highly de- pendent upon our wells,especially during the summer months. Private developers installed 3500 feet of main and six new hydrants, which have been accepted by the department. Forty-two new services were provided and fifteen services were re- newed during the year.Our system now serves 1724 residential and 82 business consumers exclusive of the schools and other town-owned fa- cilities. The volume of water treated and distributed this year nearly equalled last year's record of 203 million gallons.Had rigid curtailment of use not been required last summer,the record volume would have again been exceeded. The existing system is incapable of meeting peak demands.Substan- tial expenditures are necessary in order to fulfill these needs,as well as providing for the future.Your Commissioners are studying means for providing the necessary income to finance expansion of storage and treat- ment facilities.Quite frankly,it is not an easy task. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the various town officials and department heads for their co-operation during the year, with special thanks to the Highway,Fire and Police departments for their valuable assistance under emergency conditions last winter. Needless to say,we are grateful for the splendid performance of the superintendent and all department personnel,who have helped to make our job a little easier. BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS Henry W.Ainslie,Jr.,Chairman Rocco F.LaugeUe Alan S.Murphy,Jr.,Secretary REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD At the 1968 Town Meeting the voters of Cohasset accepted our proposed amendment to the zoning by-law increasing frontage for a lot from 20 feet to 50 feet.This has been a tremendous advantage to the Board in maintaining what we consider an orderly development of the so called "pork chop"divisions of land.Next year we anticipate sub- mitting additional zoning by-law amendments. At the past Town Meeting Mr.Joseph Barresi offered a resolution that the Planning Board exercise its legal responsibility for capital plan- ning and programming on a regular continuing basis by the development 59 of an annual capital program.Thus,the past year has been quite busy with capital planning.We were very fortunate to have the able assistance of Mrs.Ellen Smith and Mr.Brian Wilkin working on this project with the Board. During 1968 30 lots were approved for residential construction.The total number of approved lots not yet built on is now 157. We also have been very busy with drainage problems due to ne- glected or damaged brooks.This particular problem has consumed much time,study,and on-site inspection in various sections of the town to alleviate the cause. The cooperation of Mr.Anthony W.Vento ,health agent,and Mr. Edwin H.Pratt,water superintendent,as well as officials.Boards,and other employees of the town during the past year is deeply appreciated. Respectfully submitted, LAWRENCE AINSLIE NATHAN W.BATES NORMAN W.BROWN GILBERT S.TOWER JOHN H.BARRETT,Chairman REPORT OF THE WIRE DEPARTMENT Five new Fire Alarm boxes were installed at location spots to give better coverage in these areas. All Fire alarm boxes were tested,oiled and painted.All new elec- trical installations and repairs in town owned buildings were done by this department. Electrical wiring performed by Electrical Contractors was carefully inspected and wiring permits and fees were filed with Town Accountant and Town Treasurer. Due to the new additions of the High School much time is involved by this department in wiring changes of Fire Alarm and other wiring systems. I wish to express my thanks for the help and cooperation received from all Town Officials and Departments of the Town of Cohasset. Respectfully yours, EDWARD P.MALLEY Superintendent of Wires 60 REPORT FROM THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE The Committee met frequently during the entire year and especially during November and December in order to keep abreast of current re- quests and needed changes and to determine the recommndations for 1969. Meetings,both formal and informal,were held with the personnel of many departments,with the Advisory Board,and with the Board of Selectmen. The Massachusetts and Boston Consumer Price Index was used to show the effect of inflation on the purchasing power of wages and the Municipal Salary Survey of 186 Massachusetts towns,including all South Shore towns,was carefully analyzed to assist in determining the recom- mendations for 1969. The Committee recommendations are contained in the articles of the warrant relating to wages.They include a 6 percent general increase, three jobs changed because of changed evaluation of responsibilities,and a few speed-ups of step increases within a rate range for new employees or those promoted. Compared with other towns of the state with a population of 5,000 to 10,000,or even with 10,000 to 15,000,Cohasset ranks very high in all phases of employee compensation. We wish to express the Committee's thanks to all who have assisted us in our work of this year. Mr.Herbert R.Towle,Chairman for the years of 1966 and 1967, resigned during 1968.He was succeeded by Mr.Richard Samell who also resigned during 1968.Mr.G.H.Howkins was appointed to the Com- mittee in September and was elected Chairman in October. Respectfully submitted, G.H.HOWKINS,Chairman CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT To keep abreast of current Civil Defense preparedness programs I have attended monthly meetings at Sector Headquarters in Stoughton. Our emergency operating center has participated in monthly drills and to make our radio reception more effective a new antenna has been erected on top of the High School. The emergency warning system is tested twice monthly by the Fire Department and one of the signals will soon be relocated to town owned property on Forest Ave.The Army Duck is being reconditioned and will be permanently assigned at the Central Fire Station. I wish to express my thanks to the Board of Selectmen and various Department Heads for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, T.GERARD KEATING Director of Civil Defense 61 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN This will be my last report as your Librarian.The cooperation of the Library Boards and the Townspeople has combined to give us a fine Library and I look forward to more progress under new leadership in the years ahead. It has been a good year for the Library.There has been an upswing in the circulation;the formation of the Friends of the Library;our first film showing for the children and adults;the cataloging and shelving of Mr.Gammons'music library,and the installation of drapes in the Chil- dren's room and Assembly Hall. It was during Library Week in the Spring of 1968 that we had our first film program for children and adults.Other programs of interest were:Dr. Bergen talking about his book Old Nantasket;Mrs.Elaine Wentworth on her book for children Mission to Metlakatla,Mr.Hildebrandt on cur- rent books,a string quartet concert of chamber music by WiUiam Bell and friends;and Mrs.Frost with her delightful display and discussion of materials for Interior Decorating.Friends of the Library,Trustees,Di- rectors and Library staff cooperated to make the week interesting and successful. The Library has received gifts of books from the Garden Clubs, Woman's Club,Cohasset Village Book Shop and varous individuals. Dr.and Mrs.Eliot Hubbard,Jr.presented the Library with an attractive display rack in memory of Helen B.Hubbard.We have had continuous Art Exhibits through the courtesy of the South Shore Art Center and intersting Historical Exhibits courtesy of the Historical Society.

The Project is a year round cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree,Cohasset,Duxbury,Hingham,Hull, Marshfield,Norwell,Scituate and Weymouth,covering a total area of 172.21 square miles serving a population in excess of 223,000. The Project is authorized and acts under provisions of Massachusetts 64 General Laws,Chapter 252,Section 59,mosquito control provisions,and Chapter 112,Acts of 1931,pertaining to ditch maintenance of the salt marshes. The Project continued to base its program on a three-phase mos- quito reduction operation:Mosquito Source Reduction,Mosquito Larval Reduction and Mosquito Adult Reduction,giving priority in this order. 1.Source Reduction —By properly placed and maintained ditches on coastal marshes,tidal and storm waters are allowed to flow properly off,where otherwise in part would become brackish to breed mosquitoes. Fill from ditch excavating must be graded to insure water pockets are not left to breed. The Project engages in many fresn water brook and stream clearance works,to eliminate temporary flood pools capable of mosquito breeding. In many cases it becomes necessary to excavate a new ditch through flood areas,to allow extreme rains and spring thaws to inundate this run off ditch,keeping water level at a minimum to reduce,if not eliminate,the mosquito breeding from the area. Brush clearing is necessary on most fresh water work to enable access of Project's trencher as well as for checking and spraying purposes. Source reduction in lineal feet for this period: Reclaimed ditch 50,330 New ditch 4,110 Brook and stream cleaning 23,335 Brush clearing 15,235 2.Mosquito Larval Reduction —To prevent mosquito eggs from hatching,the Project in the later winter months when ice cover allows walking upon,prehatch dusts many small isolated woodland pools.In mid-spring,usually after spring rains and thaw,helicopter and fixed wing aircraft are used to air spray the larger woodland flooded areas,to reduce the early spring hatch of mosquitoes that would normally emerge in great numbers. During the summer season it becomes a continual operation of checking and larviciding for there are so many types of wet areas,salt marshes,temporary flood pools,rock pools,quarries,tree holes,roadside pools,storm catchbasins and many other water containers and each of these will breed their own specific specie of mosquito. Amounts of insecticides used to larvicide with approximate acreages for this period: Prehatch dust —3400 pounds to approximately 680 acres Air spray larviciding —9730 gallons to approximately 9730 acres Ground larvicidmg —4821 gallons to 4821 acres Storm catchbasins —2077 gallons to 20,957 basins 3.Mosquito Adult Reduction —Control of adult mosquitoes be- 65 comes necessary when large numbers emerge and move into the residential and recreational areas of a community.Many of these mosquitoes are breeding in the many unnatural water receptacles around homes,others migrate from uncontrolled large areas out of this Project's district.With these conditions it becomes necessary to space spray,or thermal fogging. These are methods by which mosquitoes are knocked down in flight,or residue spraying where mosquitoes resting upon treated surfaces are eliminated. Preference of mosquito control methods —This project would give to first,reduction of the sources for mosquitoes breeding,second,to its larval control.These would give sure and lasting results.However,each year telephone and letter requests for adult spraying of the neighbor- hoods increase.We must,due to work load,cut back on the former two methods.The Project would like to see more source reduction and larval control.This would also eventually mean a reduction in adult mosquitoes, which in turn would give a better and more lasting control of mosquitoes with the least expenditures of insecticide,time and funds. The Project mosquito adulticided with both mist blowers and power sprayers: 11,990 gallons of insecticides to approximately 11,990 acres. It thermal fogged,using 303 gallons of insecticide applied to ap- proximately 1800 acres. This Project has now on order and expecting in the near future a new Diesel marsh crawler tractor with winch and backhoe attachments. This,making two trench units in operation,which shall at least double the output of trench footage next year. Also on order is a second catchbasin spray unit,a right hand drive Jeep Universal with power sprayer.This has been needed for some time in order to get all breeding catchbasins at the proper time. The Project's operations for next year shaU be based much as it has in the past.However,there are many new chemicals,as well as methods,coming about enabling us to pinpoint our control to the mos- quitoes without damaging,contaminating or unbalancing other members of the natural environment.Some we have tried,others we have plans to try. The Project's Superintendent and most permanent personnel are all members of the Northeastern Mosquito Control Association,an educa- tional organization formed to promote the efficiency of mosquito abate- ment through research,development or procedure and to interchange information with other mosquito control districts throughout the country. The Project's personnel have in the past several years attended training courses on mosquito control methods,safe use and handling of insec- ticides.They have all been tested and licensed in this capacity by the Massachusetts Pesticide Board.All journals,bulletins and publications relating to mosquitoes are received and read to be assured of up to date 66 operation.The Project can give assurance to all it has and shall continue to be conducted in an intelligent and efficient manner. The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the communities it serves and sincerely hopes that benefits derived by these departments as a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the Project.

Respectfully submitted, DAVID E.TRUESDELL Treasurer 67 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS After some delay in receiving necessary approval for State and Federal funds for the construction of your new Water Pollution Control Facility,bids were opened in mid-April,with all bids coming in higher than available funds,due to the rising costs between the time of the Engineers'original estimates and the date of the bid openings.Faced with this problem,your Commissioners called for a special town meeting on June 5,1968.With the additional funds approved,construction began July 1,1968. To date progress has been on schedule,and should continue,assur- ing completion in early Spring 1969. During this period,your Commissioners have expended their efforts,not only in overseeing the progress of construction,but have established plans for a department to handle the administration and opera- tion of these facilities. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the various town officials and department heads for their cooperation and assistance,and to our part-time Superintendent,who has been our liaison with the en- gineers,general contractor,town officials and citizenry. BOARD OF SEWER COMMISSIONERS Rocco F.LaugeUe,Chairman Henry W.Ainslie,Jr. Alan S.Murphy,Jr.,Secretary REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN Good care and good growing conditions have kept our trees in good condition so that few have had to be removed.Trees growing to suitable size have been planted where possible. Weak branches and dead wood have been pruned on street trees to prevent breakage in storms. Roadsides were continued to be pruned and grasses mowed to im- prove the vision and keep the roadsides neat. Many thanks to all officials and citizens who by their calls and comments have assisted me in my work. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES Tree Warden 68 SOCIAL SERVICE LEAGUE REPORT The staff of the Social Service League of Cohasset provided the fol- lowing services from January 1,1968 -December 31,1968,on orders from the attending physician,(Nursing and Physiotherapist,and approval by the Welfare Department. Nursing Service Admissions Visits Medicaid 4 160 Medicaid (Medicare B)9 315 Some patients,who had previously qualified for Medicare,became ineligible with the 1967 Revision by Social Security and are partially responsible for the increase in Medicaid visits. Physiotherapy Admissions Visits Medicaid 2 5 Medicaid (Medicare B)2 11 The cost of the above services incurred after June 30,1968,were assumed by the State. Family Service 9 cases,known to the Welfare Department,have also been known to the Caseworker,Mrs.Wright,and 3 of these are still receiving treat- ment.We have referred 3 cases to the Welfare Department during 1968, and are most appreciative of Mrs,Oliver's and Miss Holub's prompt and considerate cooperation in these,as in all other cases carried jointly. Respectfully submitted, MYRTLE E.MEDEIROS,R.N. FRANCES P.WRIGHT,Caseworker REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF INSECT PEST CONTROL Dutch Elm Beetle and Canker worms are the only insects bothering our trees to any extent.These have been controlled with SEVIN,a com- paratively safe insecticide. Dutch Elm Disease Our Elm Trees are sprayed with Methoxychlor,a non-persistent insecticide,to control the Elm Bark Beetle,the vector of Dutch Elm Disease. There were 60 condemned cases of Dutch Elm Disease last year. All free falling trees have been cut and the remaining trees to be topped should be removed by early spring. Poison Ivy Poison Ivy was sprayed as usual. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES Superintendent of Insect Pest Control 69 BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE The Department processed 5 1 applications in the period from January 1,1968 to June 30,1968 prior to the State control of Public Welfare.Of the 51 applications,45 were approved. Total expenditures covering the five categories for this period were $151,520.83;total reimbursements by Federal and State were $129,230.87. We should like to express our appreciation to Mrs.Wright,Social Worker and to Mrs.Medeiros,District Nurse and her Staff for their services and assistance. School Department officials work in conjunction with our Department to provide the children with every educational opportunity.May we ex- press our appreciation for their assistance. Camp experiences were realized for many children because of the generosity of religious and civic groups.We are very grateful for their continued interest and efforts. Since the State has taken over Public Welfare,there shall be no further reports forthcoming. Respectfully submitted, JUANITA J.OLIVER Director of Public Assistance REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN The Selectmen report completion of all matters placed in their hands by Town Meeting votes with the exception of the completion of the pur- chase of 6.648 acres of land for school purposes as authorized by Article 26 of the 1967 Town Meeting and the clearing up of the title to Black Rock Beach,so-called,both of which are in the hands of Town Counsel. The dredges have finally left the harbor and the specified work has been completed.Still to receive final consideration is the question of re- moving some outcroppings of ledge and rock.It is understood that a bal- ance of funds remains to attend to these matters and the final decision of the Army Engineers is awaited. We have recommended to the Personnel Committee that the office of Harbor Master be made a full time position with a salary commen- surate with its duties and responsibilities.Many areas of concern exist, both administrative and functional,although progress has been and is being made.A Committee has been established to assist in definition and resolution of the problems and it has worked actively with the Harbor Master,Harry Ritter. With the "Baby Hoover"Committee we have met at least once with 70 all elected and appointed town officials and boards.It is hoped that these meetings have made possible increased understanding of the differing points of view that exist.The Board of Selectmen continue to feel that an Executive Secretary would not fulfill a useful function within the present framework of town government.Provision in the budgets for in- crease in technical assistance to several of the town boards and officials, on the other hand,seems most desirable. The rehabilitation of Government Island,aided by substantial con- tributions from interested citizens,due in large measure to the efforts of the Cohasset Historical Society contmues in a gratifying manner.The Government Island Committee has many aspects of future development of this area under study and will continue to report from time to time. Our thanks to all town employees,department heads,boards and committee members for another productive year,and our appreciation also to those who from time to time bring matters to our attention for responsible action. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE W.Mclaughlin,Chairman ARTHUR L.CLARK HELEN E.SCRIPTURE GOVERNMENT ISLAND COMMITTEE Herewith is the annual report of the Government Island Committee for the year 1968. The Committee has held meetings at frequent intervals during the past year with considerable time and thought directed to formulating plans for the future use of this valuable community property. Significant improvements have been made by the Cohasset Sailing Club,by the Cohasset Historical Society in the restoration of the Muiot's Light templates,and by the Town in the removal of the building near the entrance.Consequently,this Committee believes that the appearance and value to the community of this property have been greatly improved and the purposes for which the area was originally acquired are begirming to be realized. There have been a number of proposals from private groups for use of portions of the property.We particularly refer to proposals of the South Shore Art Center,the George H.Mealy Post American Legion and a group sponsoring a swimming pool. It will be recalled that at the annual Town Meeting held March 2, 1946,the sum of $29,000.00 was appropriated by the Town for the purchase of Government Island for "recreational,proprietary,utilitarian or any other municipal purpose or purposes for which the same may be adopted for the benefit of the residents of Cohasset".Vote:377 yea -2 no. This committee is therefore unanimously of the opinion: 1st.That each new proposal for the use of any part of the area must 71 be considered in the light of the part it plays in our total recreational picture. 2nd.That no part of Government Island should be sold for the foreseeable future on the basis of the 1946 town meeting vote ,and of our conviction that the expansion of recreational facilities will require most of the use of this property. 3rd.That no commercial enterprise be permitted on the premises with the exception of the fishing industry by Cohasset residents. 4th.That improvements to the physical properties,especially the access roads and parking areas,should be continued in line with plans already submitted to the Selectmen. 5th.That consultations be held with the Harbor Committee,Com- munity Center,Boy and Girl Scouts,Conservation Commission,Recrea- tion Commission,and possibly others,in the determination of suitable plans for the use of this area. Numerous other points have been raised at one or more of our meetings and in our opinion deserve further study,such as: Limiting the use of the Island to Cohasset residents by requiring parking stickers similar to those in use at Sandy Beach. Establishing facilities for docking and service of private boats owned by residents and visitors to the harbor,including a Town sponsored Yacht Club. Such improvements in the recreational facilities that could be com- pleted without incurring large capital or maintenance expense to the taxpayers. Custodianship,maintenance and policing of this area.In this regard a Government Island Commission should be established to act as man- aging authority of the entire property.Said management commission to consist of one member of the Board of Selectmen,Harbormaster,Sailing Club,Fishermen's Association and Historical Society. The Board of Selectmen would be notified of any proposed use and occupancy of the premises and said Board would have the right to veto same provided notice of objection is given to the "Commission"within 60 days of receipt of notice from the "Commission"to grant permission by lease or otherwise to an interested party. The Government Island Committee wishes to study further the future role of the Island and its part in our total recreational picture. Therefore,we ask that this report be accepted as one of progress and that this Committee be continued. Respectfully submitted, GOVERNMENT ISLAND COMMITTEE GERARD J.STANTON,Chairman MARY JANE E.McARTHUR,Secretary PRESCOTT T.CUMNER EDWARD FIGUERDO A.FREDERICK PETERSEN HARRY H.RITTER,Harbormaster RICHARD C.TOUSLEY 72 REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER It is with pleasure that I submit this report for 1968 as your Harbor Master,for I feel that 1968 was a year of several firsts for Cohasset Harbor. One was the initiation of the requirement that every boat owner must apply for a mooring permit to be issued on a first-come first-served basis upon payment of a nominal fee. Another was accomplished through a transfer of funds,$1,500.00, by the Advisory Board for the purpose of relocating moorings after the long last dredging of the harbor by the Army Engineers. StiU another was the appointment of an active Harbor Study Com- mittee by the Board of Selectmen. And last but not least,a building placed on Government Island to be used as an office for the Harbor Master. I sincerely believe that these several steps are taken in the right direction to put the harbor on a self supporting basis in the near future. The boating industry is growing at an alarming rate,over 200% nationwide in the previous year.This can well be appreciated by boat owners as well as by potential owners.At the present time there are over 90 boats on a waiting list for mooring permits in Cohasset Harbor. It should be obvious that due to the limited amount of space to work with and the congestion that now confronts us,the by-laws pertaining to the harbor must be adhered to for the best interest of all concerned rather than on an individual basis. It is hoped that with the cooperation of the boat owners,the standing committees associated with the harbor,the Board of Selectmen and all other interested citizens,Cohasset Harbor wiU be utilized in the best in- terests of all concerned.This should enhance its natural beauty and be recognized by all. Respectively submitted HARRY RITTER Harbor Master SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES I hereby submit my report as Sealer of Weights and Measures for the year ending December 31,1968. A total of one hundred and fifty two (152)weighing and/or measur- ing devices have been tested and sealed.Three (3)adjustments were made and one (1)weighing device was rejected.

In 1968,joint meetings were held by the Committee and the Board of Selectmen with aU Department heads and boards except the Water and Sewer Commissioners. The Committee is still convinced,as it reported last year,that there is a lack of coordination and unifying direction in the governmental affairs of the town.The present system provides many small,independently operating town offices and departments reporting only to the annual town meeting.While all of these individuals and departments may cooperate on individual matters there is presently no central body or administrative head planning for and directing improvements,efficiencies,and coordina- tion of all administrative functions in all town departments.While the Board of Selectmen does exercise administrative direction over a limited segment of town government,such control is restricted to a relatively few town offices specifically reporting to the Selectmen and thus any action beyond those offices can be achieved only at the sufference of each of the other town departments. For example,central purchasing of a wider range of items used in all departments or the centralized purchase,storage,maintenance and inter-departmental use of a greater proportion of our town-owned equip- ment are extremely difficult to achieve under the present system. We have examined the purchasing procedures of the town and the extent to which modem methods and procedures are in use in the town offices.We do not believe that substantial savings can be realized in the short run.Centralized purchasing of several major items is in effect. The small number of Town Hall employees would not produce significant savings,even if some reduction of employee effort were achieved by revised office procedures or equipment. We do,however,believe that long term savings and avoidance of potential cost increases are possible with the continuing administrative efforts of a Board of Selectmen assisted by an Executive Secretary,with the consolidation of several separate town departments and with some other changes in the basic structure of our town government. Your Committee further agrees that several of the town boards and departments,and accordingly the town,suffer because of inadequate engineering or technical assistance.Although a sum is annually appro- priated for a Town Engineer,it is inadequate to service the total technical needs of agencies such as the Planning Board,Board of Health,Con- servation Committee,Highway Surveyor and others.We believe that in- 76 creased technical effort should be expended on such aids as topographical surveys,three dimensional maps,street profiles,drainage surveys,etc. Equally important is the need for readily available technical assistance in zoning,sub-division control,zoning enforcement,building code inspec- tion (upon adoption of a building code),public works projects and other specialized problems faced by many departments of our town government. Therefore,in order to achieve an improvement in the structure and operation of our town government the Committee recommends adoption of a continuing program based upon the following basic changes: Administrative Director We believe that the powers and responsibility of the Board of Select- men should be broadened so that the Selectmen will be specifically re- sponsible for a greater degree of administrative direction and coordination among all town departments.Such broadening of responsibility would be achieved by resolutions of the town meeting,specific articles passed by the town meetings,amendment of town by-laws and where necessary by obtaining legislative modification of the General Laws by the Legis- lature. To assist the Board with their expanded powers and with the day to day coordination and administrative management of town affairs an Executive Secretary should be provided.To help pay for the new office, the salary for the Office of Selectman should be reduced to a nominal amount. Thus,we are submitting an article for passage of a by-law author- izing the employment of an Executive Secretary.However,while we recommend that the new by-law be adopted by the 1969 meeting,we suggest that it not be implemented until a Board of Selectmen agrees to the need and is willing to utilize the office to its potential.We do not believe that the present Board agrees with us and thus the office should not be thrust upon it.An Executive Secretary can only be beneficial when a Board of Selectmen wants it since such officer can only exercise those duties delegated to him by the Board. Technical Assistance Your Committee does not visualize a fuU-time engineer at this time. Instead we suggest a contractual arrangement with an engineering firm or a qualified individual engineer to provide technical assistance for all town agencies.Any firm or individual retained by the town will be pre- cluded under the "conflict of interst"law from representing a client in any adversary proceeding with the town. It is suggested that the responsibility for selecting,engaging,assign- ing and coordinating the activities of the engineering firm or individual engineer should rest with the Board of Selectmen. Thus,we are submitting an article to the 1969 Town Meeting to provide for such technical assistance beginning as of January 1,1970. 77 Treasurer-Tax Collector While the Committee recognizes the diligence and industriousness of both the incumbent Treasurer and the incumbent Tax Collector,we do recommend the consolidation of the two oflfices and the election of a single Treasurer-Collector in 1970. With the consolidation of the duties of these two officials and the combination of their office staffs into a single office,there should be a detailed procedural review of the new combined function.We believe that the resultant combined operation wiU result in a long term reduction of salary and administrative costs. Thus,we are submitting an article to the 1969 Town Meeting to provide for the consolidation of these offices effective with the town elec- tion to be held in 1970.If this article is passed by the 1969 Town Meeting, the Committee to Study the Administrative Functioning of the Town Government,or its successor,would provide prior to January 1,1970 a recommended revised salary for the new position and cooperate with the Personnel Board as to any possible revisions required for the combined office staff of the new office. Board Of Public Works There are many of the separate and independent departments of the town government which have overlapping responsibilities,or whose functions are dependent upon technical or engineering direction. Recognizing that this situation exists throughout the Commonwealth, the General Laws provide for any town to adopt a Board of Public Works to direct,coordinate and oversee the functions of such sub- divisions as highway surveyor,tree warden,moth superintendent,water commissioners,sewer commissioners and others as set forth in Chapter 41 of the General Laws. The adoption of a Board of Public Works to direct and coordinate the various technical departments of our town government would provide the opportunity for the centralized control of a very high proportion of town-owned equipment,extension of standardized specification to tech- nical purchasing,centralizing of overlapping functions such as main- tenance of parks,playgrounds,cemeteries and other town properties and greater inter-departmental use of personnel as well as equipment. Thus,we are submitting a resolution to the 1969 Town Meeting to obtain the sentiment of the town as to the advisibility of establishing a Board of Public Works. Summary Your Committee believes that the increasing population of Cohasset and the changing nature of problems facing the town requires certain changes in the structure and administration of the town government. We believe that the changes suggested will result in the long range improvement of the efficiency of our town government. 78 It is our conviction that the program for improvement of the func- tioning of our town must be a continuing effort but that the 1969 Town Meeting should approve the three articles and one resolution presented by the Committee as a definite start to the long range efforts for change and improvement. If the articles and/or resolutions are adopted by the 1969 Town Meeting then a further resolution will be presented to the Town Meeting for continuance of the Committee to implement the articles and resolu- tions as passed by the Meeting.

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Inventory Of Automotive Equipment Of The Fire Department Company Tjpe of Equipment Engine 1 750 GPM Triple Combination Pumping Engine Engine 4 500 GPM Pump -400 gallon Water Tank Ladder 1 Forest Engine 2 Engine 3 65 foot Junior Aerial 500 GPM Pump -400 gallon Water Tank Stationed Make Year Headquarters Pirsch 1961 Headquarters Ford 1953 Headquarters Pirsch 1947 Headquarters Dodge 1955 750 GPM Triple Combination North Cohasset Pirsch 1954 Pumping Engine 500 GPM Triple Combination Pumping Engine Miscellaneous Vehicles Type of Vehicle Department Use Four door Sedan Chief's car Panel Truck Lighting Plant (Department Built) Provided for in the budget for the year 1968 was a sum of money to replace the water tank on Engine 2,which was defective.This was done, increasing the capacity from 200 gallons to 400 gallons,also the hose body was modified to maintain the hose carrying ability.The tank was made Beechwood Mack 1950 Make Year Ford 1967 Ford 1953 79 and installed by a local welding shop,under department supervision.De- partment personnel installed piping,painted and performed other neces- sar>'and related work.With this work completed it gives all pumping engines of the department the capability of utilizing pre-connected IVi inch hose lines for quick attack as well as the ability to lay parallel hose lines. Routme maintenance,such as plugs,points and so forth,as well as lubrication was performed.Replacement of parts,tires and batteries were made as required.The department is most fortunate to have a firefighter who is a capable and skilled mechanic capable of making these repah-s and maintaining the apparatus and equipment.This results in a substantial dollar saving to the Town. In the preceding Inventory of Automotive Equipment it can be noted that the newest piece of apparatus is 8 years old and the oldest is 22 years. During the next 10 years,as outlined in a report on Capital Ex- penditures to the Planning Board,it will be necessary to expend in excess of $125,000.00 for the replacement of fire apparatus.In order to space these purchases so they do not fall in consecutive years it is important that several things be done ... 1.the scheduled table of replacement be followed. 2.the continued yearly addition of funds to the Stabilization Fund, this has not been done in past recent years. 3.the purchase of carefuUy designed and engineered quality ap- paratus,resulting in good life span and useful service. Summary Of Alarms And Emergency Calls The following is a summary of the alarms and emergency calls handled by the department in the year 1968.A definition of terms would probably be helpful.A beU alarm is one for which the fire whistles are blown and that the Call Firefighters respond to and a still alarm is one which is handled by the on-duty Permanent Firefighters and no whistle or signal is sounded.By reviewing the following summary it can be learned that the greater percentage of calls are handled by the on-duty firefighters. BELL ALARMS 84 STILL ALARMS 313 Total 397 Not included in the above is a total of 203 cellars that were pumped out during the flooding emergency of March 18-20.This extra service was a result of heavy ram and flooding throughout the Town,while not j a regular service of the department it was done to assist the Townspeople and overcome a disastrous situation. 80 This summary is broken down into the following classifications: Flammable liquids 5 Electrical 6 Buildings and structures 22 False Alarms 14 First Aid,Inhalation &Resuscitation 85 Vehicles 15 Automobile and truck accidents 13 Boats 1 Dump 8 Smoke and Gas Investigations 56 Grass,woods and brush 92 Rescue of animals 3 Accidental and needless calls 11 Miscellaneous 25 Burning details 7 Recall of Off Duty Shifts 1 Mutual Aid Scituate 8 Hingham 19 HuU 5 Norwell 1 In the control and extinguishment of the above fire and emergencies the following amounts of ladders,hose and oxygen were used.As well as the hundreds of tools and appliances that the department carries and maintains. Feet of ladders raised 648 Feet of 3/4 inch hose used 24,595 Feet of 1 1 /8 inch hose used 8,450 Feet of 1 1/2 inch hose used 4,275 Feet of 2 1/2 inch hose used 5,650 Oxygen used in resuscitation and inhalation 310.3 cu.ft. Rescue boat used 5 Personnel The personnel and organization of the Fire Department is as follows. All of the Officers and Men of the Department are under Civil Service and promotion to all grades is based on experience and competitive examina- tion.

Again,as in past years members of the department attended the two day New Hampshire Fire Training School ...this year the courses covered were ventilation and forcible entry,emergency rescue,pump operations, radio procedures and breathing apparatus. Continued use of training films and slides obtained through equip- ment manufacturers and in service training sessions were held covering various important subjects such as sprinkler and fire detection systems. Members of the department attended Massasoit Community College which offered a credit course in Fire Science.This course ran for 16 weeks and covered the Introduction to Fire Prevention.Continuous courses on related subjects will be offered and various department members have registered to attend.These subjects when completed will make a student eligible for an Associates Degree in Fire Science. Stations And Equipment Each year all of the fire hose of the department is tested to 250 psi, washed,inspected and dried.Replacements were made as necessary.This is necessary so that a proper inventory of hose is available.This year 800 feet of 2^/4 inch Double Jacketed hose was purchased ...this hose is made of synthetic fiber filler,which is stronger and less affected by mildew and rot. As provided for in the 1968 budget,three more self-contained breathing apparatus units were purchased ...making a total of ten. These units are of the latest design and much like SCUBA diving units. This purchase completes this program for the present or until such time as additional units become necessary. Included in the 1969 budget is a sum to allow for replacement of a 27 year old Inhalator-Aspirator-Resuscitator.This purchase is necessary to allow for reliability in this equipment. The sub-stations at Beechwood and North Cohasset are outdated and totally inadequate.They should be replaced as soon as the financial condition of the Town warrants ...with a modern,fireproof structure, capable of housing at least four engines and a proportionate number of men,at a location near the geographic center of these two areas.The fire department could then gain better usage of both men and apparatus under this type of operation. Public Interest During the summer of 1968 the largest single fire hazard in the Town of Cohasset,the Black Rock House,was demolished.The fire department working in cooperation with the building wrecker burned the debris at the Town Dump and on the site.These burning details were at the ex- 83 pense of the wrecker and allowed a safe and orderly removal of many many truckloads of combustible materials.Standing,this building was a potential threat to the entire neighborhood but we all can now,breathe a sigh of relief. Residents of the Town of Cohasset have been most cooperative in obtaining permits for fires in the open.This is required by the General Laws of the Commonwealth.A permit can be obtained by calling Fire Headquarters by telephone and a permit will be issued when weather and wind conditions warrant.This permit is good only one day ...and the holder of the permit must have the fire extinguished by sun down ...and have means at hand for controlling the fire. Recommendations There presently is a committee studying the adoption of a building code.This is most important for the promotion of life safety and the re- duction of fire damage in all types of structures and occupancies.Included in this code should be areas that provide for fire protection devices such as sprinkler systems and fire and smoke detection ...the square foot area and type of occupancy should govern the need.Keeping in mind that 14,000 lives were lost in fires in this country in the past year,most of which occurred in residential fires. Appreciation In the past year the department lost one permanent firefighter, Richard P.Oliver,due to a forced disability retirement.Firefighter Oliver joined the department in November 1951 and retired on November 11, 1968.I would like to extend to him the thanks and appreciation of the Fire Department for this faithful and honorable service. In conclusion I would like to extend the thanks of this department to the citizens of Cohasset,the Board of Selectmen,the heads and mem- bers of 3\\town departments and boards,the call firefighters and the permanent officers and men of the department for their cooperation, guidance and assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES PIEPENBRINK Chief of Fire Department 84 1 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR j Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Surveyor for the ji year ending December 31,1968. During the winter months the Department worked on Street drainage, and tried to correct ice conditions,which prevailed in different sections of Town.The Spring saw the sweeping of streets,clearing of catch basins and the painting of street lines.Fences were repaired and painted.Street signs were painted,replaced and repaired. This year the Department installed 30 Catch Basins and laid 3900' of 10",12"and 15"drain pipe.Two and one half miles of Mix in Place was laid on various streets and private ways throughout the Town.This work will continue. In a period of thirteen years,the Department has installed 347 Standard Catch Basins,laid 35,000'of Drain Pipe and resurfaced 33'/^ miles of roads and private ways throughout the Town. Chapter 90 Construction and Maintenance Funds were applied for this year.The Construction funds to be used on Elm Street and the Main- tenance funds to be used on Jerusalem Road,from Forest Avenue to Rte.228 at West Comer. The 1968 Maintenance funds were used on a section of Border Street and to start drainage work on Jerusalem Road. The Department has money to spend on Forest Avenue.This work consists of resurfacing with Type I asphalt,removing a section of ledge and installing a new culvert. The Town will receive the balance of the 616 Monies this year, which will be used on South Main Street,from Summer Street to Stanton Road,for the installation of necessary drainage and resurfacing.This project has been approved by the State Department of Public Works. This Department has tried to keep in mind the ever increasing cost of material and labor and has presented a budget which reflects to a similar one in 1962.This might not be a good policy,but the department can still perform its'duties satisfactorily. This year the Department has requested under the capital outlay Budget,a Front End Loader with Backhoe attachment to replace the 5 year old machine now used by the department. The Highway Department has six permanent men who perform all the duties throughout the year. I wish to thank the men of the Highway Department and the people of Cohasset.

Respectfully submitted, RANDOLPH A.FEOLA Chief of Police Cohasset,Massachusetts REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMISSION The Recreation Commission has just completed its 12th year of operation.The Commission meets on the second Wednesday,every month,at 7.30 P.M.in the Town Hall.Any citizen of the Town is most welcome to attend and bring before the Commission,suggestions as to new recreational activities or improvement of existing programs. The townspeople should realize that the Commission is expected to handle details of finances,maintenance of recreational areas and new and existing programs.The Commission needs the cooperation of the resi- dents to enthusiastically support and work on recreational activities of their choice. During the past year Mr.Eustis James was selected by the Commis- sion to be Superintendent,to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr.Sullivan on January 4th,1968.Mr.James'duties have been increased so that he is now responsible for Milliken,Beechwood and Barnes Fields. At the Beechwood Field 332'of chain link fence was erected along Church Street.Since the baseball diamond is overgrown with weeds, extensive work is planned for the field next Spring.Lumber and paint were supplied to Mr.Vernon Tibbetts,a Beechwood resident,who,with volunteer help,repaired and painted the wooden bleachers and backstop. The Chairman of the Commission,met with the newly formed Beechwood Neighborhood Club,to see what assistance the Commission might give. The Summer Program,voted by the Town at the March 1968 Town Meeting,was extremely successful.It was a rotating program,run al- ternately at three different fields —one week at Beechwood,the next at Milliken and the next at Barnes Field.The attendance figure for the ten weeks was conservatively estimated at 1600 children,ages 5-12.The Commission plans,for the Summer of 1969,to run two separate non rotating programs for ten weeks;one at Beechwood and the other at Barnes Field. The Hull Street Playground program,carried on in conjunction 91 with Hingham,was continued.This is a good joint venture,both physically and financially. The Commission,at the suggestion of a resident,has proposed a plan to light the tennis courts at Milliken Field and set up two basketball courts.The Commission has requested money from the Town to carry out this plan which would provide both night tennis and basketball. The Commission has requested a new backstop for Barnes Field. During the past year the Cohasset Youth Athletic Association (CYAA) paid for the fence that runs along the third base line in front of the dugout.These,of course,are for the added protection of the growing number of persons that use the field. A simple brochure on the Recreational Facilities and Activities in the Town available to the residents is being assembled.This is being done mostly on a volunteer basis by members of the Commission and others. The Commission has discussed the proposal that a teenager be sought as an additional member of the Commission.This addition is, of course,to establish another area of communication between age groups, which at this time is badly needed. The Commission wishes to thank all Town Ofiicials and members of the various committees and boards for their cooperation and under- standing.Only by working together can any progress be made. Respectfully submitted, HAMILTON T.TEWKSBURY,Chairman NORMAN J.DELANEY HAROLD F.BARNES ROBERT J.HALL DENNIS W.KUNTZ REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION In 1968 the Conservation Commission proposed to Town Meeting that the town acquire Sassafras Rock,a small rocky island in Little Harbor frequented for nesting purposes by terns and ducks.Approval was given by the townspeople and the property,which seemed to belong to no one,is in the process of being acquired;after which time it will be preserved in its natural state. The Commission is in the process of developing a major natural resource plan which should be useful to present and future Conserva- tion Commissions and which is required by the State if matching funds are to be obtained in the future for conservation land acquisition.The plan will include areas which the Commission thinks are worthy of ac- quisition for recreational and conservation purposes.Application for 92 techaical assistance in this project is being made to the Norfolk Con- servation District. The Cohasset Conservation Trust,the work of which is closely related to and encouraged by the Conservation Commission,had an active and productive first year.The report of its activities and accom- plishments follows: The Cohasset Conservation Trust's first calendar year of operation was very successful.It was highlighted by increased activity,enlarged membership and acquisition of our first parcel of land. At Trustees'meetings during the year various projects were discussed. Also,several suitable pieces of vacant land were considered for possible acquisition or easement. Because of increasing use of the harbor by more and more residents of Cohasset and the growing importance of waterfront property,it was decided to direct our energies first tov^'ards the possible purchase of Bassing's Beach.After negotiations were completed with Parker F. Schofield,the owner,a community effort was launched in July to raise the necessary funds and two months later the goal was reached.We are now in the process of repairing the two cottages on the property.It is hoped that sometime in the future additional property might be avavilable adjacent to the present llVi acres. Membership following the first meeting in May 1967 has increased from 50 to 400.This is most gratifying and we hope that it will continue to grow as additional projects are undertaken. The Trustees wish to thank all those who gave of their time and effort this summer to campaign for Bassing's Beach and all those who through their generosity made the acquisition possible. Trustees of the Cohasset Conservation Trust are Edward B.Long, John F.Hubbard,Osborne F.Ingram,Richard D.Leggat and Hatherly L.Souther. Respectfully submitted, PATRICIA ARONER GEORGE W.BENEDICT HERBERT B.MARSH EDWARD F.WOODS JOHN K.BRYANT JOHN BARRETT JOHN F.HUBBARD,Chairman 93 REPORT OF THE COHASSET PUBLIC SEWERAGE STUDY COMMITTEE This committee strongly feels that the sanitation needs of the center of town should be served by the public sewerage facilities presently under construction in Jacobs Meadow and to this end appropriate articles will be proposed at a future town meeting. Other areas of town have problems,as is well known,and this fact impels the committee to a serious consideration of a long range plan for the Public Sewerage System. Recently,as a result of tests made in August,1968,the State Dept. of Public Health has informed the town that plans to extend the sewerage system to serve the area between Clay Spring Road and route 3A should be made immediately.The alternative to this solution will be "for the town of Cohasset to locate and eliminate all connections to the street drains in the Veteran's Housing"area.In a later communication the State,while again requiring that town officials proceed immediately with corrective work,suggests that temporary measures may be implemented on an emer- gency basis.It is clear that eventually a permanent solution to what is obviously a permanent problem will have to be advanced. The committee therefore regards these problems as sufficiently serious to request that this report be accepted and that the committee be continued.

There have been a minimum of complaints from the sewage disposal branch of operations,but we realize the number of complaints are not truly representative of the problems involved.Few people will caU to complain that their own sewage disposal system is not working.We hope, however,with the inception of a treatment plant and public sewer system for the schools,that this system will shordy encompass a major portion of the center of town and eventually become all inclusive for the entire town. This perhaps,is an inappropriate time to talk of a public sewerage system, what with the already predicted increase in our tax rate,but it must be considered very seriously,particularly in view of the fact that already we may be dealing with possible contamination. The dump has been a source of difficulty.We are considering a change in the operation of the dump and feel that if its management does not satisfy us that changes must be made.We are making slight changes in the hours of operation consistent with daylight hours.They will be changed again with the onset of daylight saving time. Once again,we the Board,are grateful to all who have helped us throughout Sie year. 95 Sewage Disposal Permits Nuisance Complaints New construction approved 65 Sewage Overflow 47 Alterations &Additions 21 Drainage Surface Water 4 Subdivision Investigations 5 Animals 7 Final Inspections 50 Rubbish &Garbage 5 Percolation tests Witnessed 73 Drinking Water 2 Shore Forms Issued 70 Miscellaneous 9 Total 74 There were twelve dye tests conducted of which seven were positive Year round restaurants Seasonal restaurants,canteens Grocery Stores Water Samples Food Handling Establishments 10 Swab Tests 85 5 Milk &Oleo Licenses 36 6 Total number of Inspections 60 13 OTHER HEALTH AGENT ACTIVITIES Inspection of Day Care Service,Day Camps,Nursing Homes Burial Permits Issued Licenses &Permits Issued International Immunization Certificates Anti Rabies Clinic Inoculations Flu Vaccine Clinic,Town Employees Court Cases Food Handlers Course was Conducted Receipts to Town Treasurer Plumbing Inspections 11 60 60 106 140 30 1 $1531.65 Registered Plumbers 73 Permit Fee Collected $554.50 Permits,new construction 40 Fee Payment to Permits,Alterations 54 Inspectors $488.00 IMMUNIZATION SUMMARY School Immunization Heaf DPT D &T Smallpox Tuberculin Grade 1 52 56 86 Grade 4 119 Grade 5 71 Grade 6 78 Grade 9 63 91 Grade 12 59 76 Total 52 134 193 372 96 WeU Chad CUnic Oral Trivalent Polio Measle vaccine Smallpox Vaccination 31 DPT 6 Tine Tuberculine 18 Detection Programs 28 9 Heaf Tuberculin Test 372 Tine Tuberculin Test Tuberculosis Status 9 Active In VA Hospital 1 Cases under Supervision Total visits of supervision 62 118 Public Health Nursing (by contract with Social Service League) Mrs.M.Medeiros,R.N.

Casework Report Four cases were carried over from 1967,and two of these are still active.In addition,two cases were referred by the Board of Health in 1968;one a financial investigation to determine eligibility for help with a hospital bill.The second was a man with a severe illness,on whom securing of medical information was needed.Also,reassurance was given to the family,and help in obtaining financial assistance.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE This has been a busy year for your school committee.In addition to our regular monthly meetings we have had many special and sub- committee meetings. The additional rooms provided by the new addition to the High School have offered some much needed relief.The need for these addi- tional rooms can be best demonstrated by comparing this year's 12th grade which numbers 99 students,with the present 6th grade,which has an enroUment of 175. Overcrowding is still a matter of concern at both the Joseph Osgood and Deer Hill Schools.In order to provide some relief at the Deer Hill School an additional teacher will be added on January 2nd.This is a tem- porary step being taken to forestall any thoughts of getting into another expensive building program at this time. The Metco program which Cohasset participated in this year ap- pears to be a success.Nine Boston students are enrolled in this program. 99 At this writing your committee is considering the 1969 budget which contams the largest increase in history due mostly to our larger enrollment.Rest assured that your committee is giving serious considera- tion to the impact this budget will have on the taxpayers and that we will make every effort to keep it to an absolute minmium,without damaging or curtailing the high standards which now exist in our educational system. In closing I wish to express the Committee's thanks to our Super- intendent William Ripley for his cooperation.He has given notice that he wishes to conclude his services as Superintendent on July 30,1969. As he closes out a long career of Public Service to the town,we wish to say congratulations on a job well done.In addition to taking the neces- sary steps to keep pace with our ever-increasing school enrollment he has brought outstanding teachers into the system,he has adopted modem teaching techniques and has established wonderful personal relations with students,teachers,parents and school committee members.The high rating of the Cohasset Educational System stands as a testimony to his many accomplishments.May his future be blessed with many years of good health. Respectfully submitted, T.GERARD KEATING,Chairman SUMNER SMITH,JR. LOT E.BATES PAUL M.DONOVAN LOUIS N.SIMEONE JOHN P.REARDON REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I hereby submit my twenty seventh report as Superintendent of the Cohasset Public Schools.The year 1968 has seen the practical completion of the addition to the renovation of the facilities for secondary school pupils.In September the added facilities included eleven general class- rooms,three science laboratories,one band and lecture room,one chorus room,a new home economics suite,a language laboratory,and adminis- trative offices in the new West wing of the building.In the East wing a new study hall and enlarged kitchen facilities were in operation.Renova- tions in the original building included a new chemistry laboratory,im- proved Guidance and Health facilities,and enlarged Junior High Shop, and the conversion of the old music room to a Junior High Art room. In October the new library located in the central courtyard was in opera- tion.It is expected that the new gymnasium with renovated locker rooms will be fully operational by February 1. 100 The major part of the site development was completed by November 1.This included parking areas,playing fields,and tennis courts.By the spring of 1969 we expect final completion of this work. The first four months of occupancy have indicated a functional build- ing capable of having a flexible program meeting the needs and interests of our students.To take full advantage of this the administration has sub- stituted a modular scheduling system.Currently the town,through its School and School Facilities Committee must address itself to the prob- lem of elementary housing.Although the projections for elementary en- rollment do not present a clear picture at present,the 1969 enrollment should clarify the problem. The Pupil-Teacher Ratio Advisory Committee of the Massachusetts Department of Education has recommended an ideal ratio of 25:1 with supporting professional personnel of 100:1.In our elementary schools the ratio is 28:1.Also,at present two buildings are at near capacity. Therefore your School Facilities Committee has been considering pos- sible sites with the expectation of making a recommendation to the town in 1969. I should like to mention the helpful supportive action of two groups, the Cohasset Parent-Teachers Association and the Cohasset Boosters Club.The PTA should be commended for its fine programs and assist- ance at open houses,in the lunchrooms,and libraries.The Boosters Club has encouraged and supported extra curricular activities and the building of school loyalty and spirit. I feel that the quality of our educational program depends upon the professional competency of our principals and teachers.It has been a privilege and a pleasure to be associated with the competent and fine people who have filled these positions not only this year but throughout the years.Actually,the instructional staff makes the schools;bricks and mortar are incidental. May I express my gratitude to the hardworking members of the School Committee,who are true representatives of this community and who have made it such a satisfaction to sen^e with throughout the years. Miss Mary Phipps,supervisor of music,retired this year after four- teen years in the Cohasset Public Schools. It is my sad duty to record the death of Mr.Charles Smith,the first custodian of the Deer Hill school who had just completed fifteen years of faithful service in that building. Since the world in which we live has changed,education must adapt itself to the new environment in which we find ourselves.Most of us have observed that our younger generation becomes more sophisticated at an earlier age.Therefore,unless we adapt and adjust our educational methods,they become outmoded and ineffective.These problems must be met with vigorous action and understanding.

This year's graduates were sought after by industry with most students placed long before graduation.In addition,many former gradu- ates,having completed their military obligations,are availing themselves of our placement service.In most cases they are working at their trade within one day after the initial request. This past summer we conducted our five weeks of summer school each morning in the areas of remedial reading and mathematics. Ten of our students were employed in a work-study program during July and August.They repainted all building trim and completed many minor repairs to maintain the school in its original condition.Since 3/4 of the wages are financed by Federal Funds,this results in considerable savings. Scheduled to start in January,1969 is a new day school course for training combination welders.We start with fifteen students at the ninth grade level.This will make ten trade areas that we will be serving. In October 1968 we opened another Manpower Training program for Radio and Television Repairman.Twenty trainees drawn from the ranks of the unskilled and underemployed will be given a new trade. The course runs sis hours a day,five days a week and will continue through next August. Our evening school program continues to flourish with 129 persons enrolled in eight trade areas.In addition,our facilities are being used by the Old Colony Power Squadron one night each week to conduct a course in piloting for almost 200 persons. We are gratified to report that our fine facility is being used in diversified ways to serve our regional towns,but it is more regretable as time goes on that the enrollment of Cohasset boys continues to de- crease.Something is wrong.While other regional towns have increased their enrollments,Cohasset alone fails to make effective use of this marvelous training facility.Our excessive per pupil cost reflects in part the fact that far fewer Cohasset boys are enrolled than was anticipated when Cohasset originally joined the South Shore Regional School District.
