Sealer of Weights and Measures 73 BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS ANNUAL REPORT - 1966 This year the new standpipe was put into operation, which insures a sanitary method to store water after it has been treated and also to increase the pressure through- out the system " As the population of the town increases, it becomes necessary to expand the capacity of pumping, treatment and storage areas so to insure an adequate supply of water for the future. This year the Water Department has signed a con- tract with Sanitary Engineering Associates, Inc. to make a survey of the future water requirements of the Town of Cohasset. This survey will recommend methods of stor- ing and treating water and the protection of watershed areas . This will be paid for from an interest-free loan from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The present water rates were established in 1956. Since then the water system has been expanded, yearly wage increases have been voted. These major items to- gether with inflationary prices of materials and purifi- cation supplies make it necessary to increase the water rates beginning with the fiscal year 1967. The Board of Water Commissioners wish to thank the personnel of the Department for their continued effort and co-operation, the Board of Selectmen and other Town officials for their co-operation and particularly the Board of Health and the Conservation Commission for their as- sistance in planning for the preserving and expanding the Towns water sheds and water supply. ARTHUR L. CLARK, Chairman WILLIAM E" POLAND ARTHUR SOMERVILLE 74 REPORT OF THE COHASSET CONSERVATION COMMISSION Some of the more interesting and important activ- ities in which the Conservation Commission was involved in 1966 are as follows: Efforts were made during the year to insure that our salt marshes and other important natural resource areas are maintained in their natural state. This is a continuation of our work of previous years and is prob- ably our most important function. Members of the Com- mission met with land owners of the Gulf and other sections of town and although no final agreements were drawn up during the year, we feel certain the ground work was laid for success in the coming year. It is of interest to note that in a report of the Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources relative to the Coastal Wet Lands of the Com- monwealth, the Gulf is considered to be of Priority I im- portance "representing tide marshes of high resource utilization valuation". Work to improve Ellms Meadow continues. A com- mittee was formed with representatives of the Conservation Commission, Recreation Commission, Water Commis- sioners and Garden Clubs and citizens living near the area. A plan to improve the border of the pond was made and the work will be completed next Spring. The Commission is working closely with the Water Department to make sure that important watershed land is preserved. An engineering survey to delineate these areas was financed by the Conservation Commission and during the coming year stepped up activity in this direction is planned. Roadside beautifi cation in the form of vigorous opposition to a proposed bill board on Route 3 A and re- quests to milk companies serving the town that they re- frain from leaving stacks of milk cases along our streets, was a concern of the Commission during the year. 75 Members of the Commission have continued to at- tend, whenever possible, meetings of other town boards, the business of which we consider important to our work. We are pleased to have Mrs. Richard Aroner and John Barrett appointed to the Commission during the year as regular members. Mr. Robert Thompson is serving as an associate member representing the Cohasset schools. PATRICIA ARONER JOHN BARRETT GEORGE W. BENEDICT HERBERT MARSH ROSCOE E. SHERBROOKE EDWARD F. WOODS JOHN F. HUBBARD, Chairman REPORT OF TREE WARDEN - 1966 Most of our street trees are now in fairly good shape, although several dying and dangerous trees were cut in 1966. Trees with deadwood and needing pruning were taken care of all over town. Some work over the wires was done with the cooperation of the Brockton Edison Company. Little -leaf Lindens were planted on North Main Street opposite the Common, and Scanlon Maples, a var- iety of upright Red Maples, were planted at St. Anthony ^s parking lot on South Main Street. A total of twelve trees were planted in 1966. Roadside grass was mowed in early July on all streets . Every effort has been made to clear brush along our roadsides, particularly on corners «, It is hoped that many of our maples that show dead- wood can be pruned this year. Also, it is planned to fer- tilize the trees on the Common this spring. Anyone noting defects in the public shade trees, or with suggestions for the improvement of the trees or roadsides is asked to call the Tree Wardeno 76 With thanks to the Board of Selectmen and all Town officials and citizens who have aided or cooperated in my work. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES Tree Warden REPORT OF INSECT PEST CONTROL SUPERINTENDENT - 1966 Practically no leaf defoliation occurred in 1966 in Cohasset. No Gypsy moths are found in town. Elm leaf Beetles on the Common and elsewhere were controlled with Thiodan and Sevin, fairly safe insecticides. Few cankerworms were present. Dutch Elm Disease Only 44 Dutch Elm Disease cases were confirmed from this summer's sampling, a comparatively small number; only 4 to 6 of these could be considered street trees, and only one on Highland Avenue opposite the Com- mon. This indicates that we are quite successful in com- batting the disease. Nearly all free falling trees were cut by January 1 ; the Brockton Edison Company will assist with several, and the topping of the others will be done in early Spring. Methoxychlor, a recommended safe insecticide was used for all dormant spraying. Poison Ivy All poison ivy and ragweed found along our road- sides, and poison ivy on private property reported to the Superintendent was sprayed with Brush Killer with good results o 77 Anyone noticing rapid wilting or yellowing of elm leaves in July or August is asked to call the Superintend- ent so that samples can be taken. Respectfully submitted, HOWARD BATES Supt. Insect Pest Control 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 Co- hasset for the year ending October 31, 1966. The Town of Cohasset appropriated $4200. for mosquito control in 1966. Along with this $800 was ap- propriated for maintenance of salt marsh ditches . Both appropriations were expended by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project in effort toward a better control of mos- quitoes in the Town of Cohasset. The South Shore Mosquito Project functions under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 252 Section 59 mos- quito control provisions and Chapter 112 salt marsh ditch maintenance. It is a cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and the Towns of Braintree, Cohasset, Dux- bury, 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 operates year round continuing to base its operation on a three phase reduction program, giving priority in this order: Source reduction, by proper ditch maintenance and water manipulation the mosquito breeding areas are elim- inated . 78 Reduction at the source, with small amounts of insecticides applied at breeding source millions of mos- quito larvae and pupae can be destroyed. Reduction of the source, or adult control, by space spraying or fogging the elimination of many flying mos- quitoes of one generation, thus reduce the next. With this as the basic plan for control the following was accomplished in the Town of Cohasset this past year. Source Reduction 1950 feet of drainage ditch were reclaimed. 490 feet of new drainage ditch were trenched. All this to pre- vent water from becoming stagnant enough to produce mos- quitoes . Reduction at the Source 800 acres of small isolated woodland swamps were prehatch treated with dust upon ice in winter months to prevent the development of mosquito larvae as it hatches. 900 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. During the summer season many wet areas have to be checked continually, such as salt marshes, quarries, rock pools and roadside ditches and wherever mosquito larvae was contained they were treated. 142 gallons of insecticides were applied for this larval control. The mosquito giving the most problem this year was the Culex pipien, or more commonly known as the house mosquito. The reasons for such problems are: They can breed in almost any type of container of standing fresh water. They are many brooded with short hatching cycle, breed in great numbers around the home and readily seek inside shelter for their resting placeSo With the del- uge type rain showers of the past summer, the many areas capable of breeding culex mosquitoes were impossible to keep up with. The project^s concentrated efforts were 79 centered around spraying storm catchbasins, roadside drainage ditches and polluted water holes, such as quarries, these being the greatest sources of this species. It was necessary to expend 250 gallons of insecticide to treat 1407 catchbasins in the Town of Cohasset this year, along with treating many small wet areas, as much as six times throughout the summer. Reduction of the Source, or adult control With the culex mosquito, the mosquito that breeds around the home and seeks to rest within the home, large scale space spraying and fogging is not too effective. It became mostly a problem of educating the public as to what they could do around their own homes to keep mosquitoes from breeding and what and when to spray within the home. This project had four articles published in local newspapers and radio this year . It met with some success. However, there still remained our annual amount of a thousand calls requesting neighborhood spraying or fogging. In the Town of Cohasset 583 gal. of insecticides were space sprayed for adult mosquitoes by hydraulic sprayers or mist blowers. When weather and other conditions were favorable an insecticidal thermal fogger was used. 2 gallons of in- secticide and oil in a fog were applied at the rate of 15 acres to the gallon. The insecticides used in the past year by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project were: DDT Dust DDT Emulsions Malathion Emulsion Malathion Miscible in fog oil Nailed DiBrom 14 in fog oil Baytex Emulsion (catchbasins) Abate #4 Emulsion (larval) #2 oil All these insecticides are registered and are label- led for use in mosquito control. When they are formulated 80 and applied in accord with and at no greater amounts than their labels recommend to be proper for mosquito control operations they pose no hazard. However, in the fore- seeable future there shall be some curtailments or re- strictions to the use of many chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, such as DDT. To replace these are many newer insecticides coming into use each year. These have all been developed with the purpose of offsetting the dis- advantages and ill side effects of many of the older insect- icides. These new insecticides shall cause some changes to mosquito control. The main one being their cost. They area good deal more expensive. They are also limited in their use and effect. These changes must be made for as it is the pro- ject's duties to make the area as free of mosquitoes as possible, it is also duty bound to operate in such a way never to be a hazard to persons, wildlife or environment. The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the town and sincerely hopes that benefits derived by these departments as a re- sult of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the Project.

BARNES Treasurer REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF THE PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY There have been several firsts integTated into the Library System this past year. The Library hours have been expanded to include evening hours and we are now open until 8:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from September to June. Mr. James Sullivan is Librarian in charge during the evening hours • The Reference Department has been expanded by a Federal Grant of $32 5. This money enabled us to purchase books for a more comprehensive collection. We are ex- panding our collection of Recordings to include selections of Poetry, Light Op era and Musical Comedy, and have plans for still further expansion in this field as in all others » We now have a collection of Art Books complete with slides for viewing at home or in the Library. This collection was purchased with money from the Mildred C. Towle 82 Memorial Fund. Our foreign language collection, espec- ially the French section, is gradually being enlarged and brought up to date. For the first time the Library was represented in the Youth Day Parade. The costumes and car decorations were planned by the Library Pages. The Story Hour on Saturday morning is very well attended and ably conducted by our Children's Librarian, Mrs. Wood. We are proud of our almost continuous Art Exhibit and grateful indeed to the South Shore Art Center.

TROTT Treasurer 84 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD For the second time, the voters of the town turned down the proposed new zoning by-law at the last annual Town Meeting. The Board was disappointed by this action as it felt there were many provisions contained therein that in the long run would be helpful to it and beneficial to the town. There were but three subdivisions approved during the year, two in the Beechwood section and labelled Flint- lock Ridge and Lawrence Lincoln^s land, and the other off Pond Street called Lantern Lane. The Flintlock Ridge de- velopment was at first submitted showing some 103 lots, but later an amended plan was filed cutting the number of lots to 53. The Lantern Lane development contained 11 lots. The land of Lincoln contained 15 lots. It is felt that the current tight money market has made a definite impression on subdividing available build- ing land in the town. Twenty six plans were presented where approval under the subdivision control law was not required. Generally, these plans divided an existing lot into two lots, but in one instance thirteen lots were created out of one existing lot. During the course of the coming year, the Board plans to develop some of the more important ideas con- tained in the Benjamin Report. The cooperation of the officials, boards, and em- ployees of the town during the past year is greatly apprec- iated. Respectfully submitted, JAMES M" GRAHAM, JR« Chairman 85 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE The third Monday of each month - 8 p.m. - High School SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS WiUiam 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. REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS In my twenty-fifth report as your Superintendent of Schools I wish to reiterate a concern to keep the lines of communication open between the citizens and the Public Schools. I hope that the publication ^Tour Cohasset Schools "has contributed to that end. Obviously the brevity of this report precludes more than a skeleton outline of our organization and nothing of our detailed activities. How- ever, parents and interested citizens are always welcome to consult us or our staff members by appointment. Also the Parent Teachers^ Association has cooperated by means of open houses and informative programs in disseminating information" One common theme in our organizational methods and teaching approaches, both at kindergarten and senior high level, is to pace students at a rate most suitable to them as individuals. To this end our grouping and re- grouping practices, our emphasis on instructional learning center, our guidance programs, our teaching techniques, our testing schedules, and our special teachers are all part of our efforts to accomplish that objective. Never- 86 theless, I am disturbed by a situation which could destroy much of the progress toward excellence which we have made. This is the lack of facilities and overcrowded con- ditions at the secondary school level. Presently progress toward its solutionis moving more slowly than I had hoped. In an already overcrowded building the projections for September of 1967 indicate an increase of forty pupils. The present projections show that the capacity of this school should be increased to care for 900-1000 pupils within ten years. Therefore the need for the proposed High School addition is urgent and immediate. To provide for expansion of the elementary level, the extent of which is not clear as yet, the cafeteria room atthe Joseph Osgood School will be converted to two class- rooms o Currently the lunchroom program at this school is being conducted in the auditorium with food prepared in the High School kitchen, thus effecting economical operation. At present we are cooperating with eight neighbor- ing towns in a planning grant under Public Law 89-10, Title in. Application will be filed for an operational grant under the title of "Project Lighthouse", the goal of which is to provide more meaningful education for our children through creative use of cultural and natural resources of the area. Other federal funds used locally are granted the town under Public Law 874 and Public Law 864 and are applied to the general support of the schools o I am especially proud of our staff of teachers who show a professional interest in their work. During the past year 38 staff members have been enrolled in accredited institutions, and 182 semester hours of credit were earned. At this time I should like to record my appreciation for the twenty eight years of service in the Cohasset Pub- lic Schools by Mr. William McArthur. His record of safety in the transportation of many hundreds of school children was perfect over the years. 87 I wish to thank the School Committee and all staff members for their cooperation during the past year.

Restorations Silver Amalgram (with and without cement bases) Synthetic Porcelain Anodyne Extractions Deciduous Teeth Permanent Teeth Prophylactic Treatment Examination without treatment 391 4 12 67 None 92 112 Weekly clinics continued while schools were in ses- sion and the usual repair, elimination of old and new decay, and general oral rehabilitation was maintained. Home care should be stressed to a greater degree, especially in regard to eliminating food stuffs from the 94 teeth immediately after meals. It has been proven that this practice reduces an appreciable portion of necessary- restorative measures. I wish to show my appreciation to the school staff, especially to Mrs. Gormley, for many favors during clinic sessions o Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM G. MATTESON, D«M.D. REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE This has been another most gratifying year. June 1966 marked the end of our fourth school year, and the number of job opportunities was twice the number of grad- uates. The pay offered was higher than ever. Industry is obviously aware of the quality of our graduates . The EveningTrade Extension Courses and the Man- power Retraining Programs were both well attended this year and the graduates were well received by the industrial community. Our activities were increased again this year by the inauguration of an Occupational Preparatory course which has been under study for the past two years . This course is conducted in cooperation with the school departments of the regional towns. The boys receive their academic classroom work in their local high school each morning and their shop practice and related classroom work at the regional school each afternoon. Transportation is pro- vided both ways by the regional school, and over fifty boys are presently enrolled in three subject areas. If this pro- gram proves to be successful, other areas of study will be added. Presently, courses are offered in carpentry, auto mechanics and auto body. 95 The principal objective of the Occupational Pre- paratory Training Program is to provide terminal students with marketable skills o This pilot program is the first of its kind in the country. Graduates will receive a certif- icate from the Regional Vocational School, and a diploma from their respective high schools. It is hoped that this new program will help to relieve the occupational problems of the high school graduates who seek employment rather than continue their schooling. An added feature of this in- ovation is the distinct probability that some of those who participate may be admitted to the higher level regular vocational programs . In addition to the four major programs now being operated by the school, the facilities are made available to several organizations for instructional purposes during the summer as well as the winter months. Thus, for a considerable part of the year, the facilities of the school are being used ten to twelve hours per day. It is hoped that in the future we can enlarge our activities to serve more of our youth and more of our adult residents. 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. The only regretable aspect of the entire situation at the school is that more good average boys are not avail- ing themselves of the outstanding opportunities for profit- able employment and good citizenship by seeking enrollment at this excellent facility. It is hoped that applications from Cohasset will increase. JOHN A. GEARY Cohasset Representative South Shore Regional School District Committee 96 1966 SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT This was another active year for your committee. In addition to the regular monthly meetings there were four special meetings plus numerous sub-committee meetings. A new feature of our meetings is attendance by reporters form the Quincy Patriot Ledger and Cohasset Cottager along with representatives of the P.T.A. and League of Women Voters . It should be recorded that the General Court and Governor Volpe put into effect on April 15 a 3% Sales Tax Law. Thus the Commonwealth will now be able to provide more generous support to cities and towns for educational purposes than provided by the old law. A grant under Title I of Federal P.L. 89-10 enabled Cohasset to engage a Special Counselor who will furnish guidance service at the Deer Hill School as well as counsel- ing for any educationally deprived students in the entire system. Another technique in management was imposed on the committee by a new state law, Chapter 763, Acts of 1965, which permits collective bargaining by municipal employees including teachers . Upon request and without a representation election, the committee recognized the Cohasset Teachers Association affiliated with the Massach- usetts Teachers Association and with the National Education Association as the agency representing the professional staff. In November, negotiations for the school year 1967- 68 brought about an agreement for an increase in the min- imum rate from $5300 to $5600. Under Cohassets^ratio salary schedule this will change the maximum rate for a teacher with a masters degree from $9354 to $9884. The Committee expanded the Summer School pro- gram to include 183 pupils from grades 4, 5 and 6 at Deer Hill School along with 96 pupils at the High School. Utili- zation of our facilities during the summer for enrichment and remedial courses appears to be a trend that will in- crease in popularity. 97 As the year closes we are disappointed that the proposed addition to the High School has not come before the town. The broad program of studies designed for the individual abilities of 650 students is taxing the facilities built for an enrollment of 600 and a more limited program. With prospects of 690 students next September, the in- genuity of the administration will be severly tested to pro- vide a schedule for the available space without curtailing the educational program. We look forward to the support of all citizens in approving the completion of the present High School site to provide educational and athletic facil- ities sufficient for 900 students. The committee thanks Superintendent Ripley for his ceaseless efforts on behalf of our public schools. Respectfully submitted, SUMNER SMITH, JR., Chairman KATHERINE STANTON LOT E. BATES PAUL M. DONOVAN T. GERARD KEATING LOUIS N. SIMEONE REPORT OF THE AARON RIVER COMMITTEE At the 1966 Annual Town Meeting, a sum of money was appropriated for cleaning AaronRiver to relieve flood- ing during high water. A contract was awarded to Ernest Minelli of Hull, Massachusetts ; but due to continued wet conditions since the award, the contract was not performed during this past year. The contract is still effective and it is ex- pected that completion will be realized during the summer of 1967. Respectfully submitted, AARON RIVER COMMITTEE GEORGE E. HALEY STEWART S.

This included a com- plete rebuilding of the motor, a new water tank, necessary- repairs to the pump, relocation of the booster hose reel and enlargement of the hose body. This work should ex- tend the life of this vehicle for a few more years . During the course of the year routine maintenance and lubrication was done by the firefighters on duty . Tires , batteries and so-forth are changed and installed as the need arises. The location and response of the apparatus was re- aligned to get the fullest use of it. PERSONNEL Therearepresently sixteen permanent officers and men on the roster of the Fire Departments They presently work a 56 hour work schedule which results in their being divided into three platoons, each platoon is commanded by an officer. The distribution of manpower was re -aligned during 196 6 due to the shortage of personnel and this re-alignment made it necessary to close the Beechwood Fire Station. The availability of call firefighters during the day is not as good as in past years . These men are not in Town or if they are they are not available to the depart- ment. This lack of personnel on-duty is of serious con- cern to the Town and has a serious effect on the efficiency and operation of the department. HEAD- QUARTERS GROUP 1 Engine 1 R . P .

Grassie was employed on a temporary basis to allow the completion of the vacation schedule. This position was open due to the retirement in February of Frederick N. Edwards. The duties of the relief man would be to fill the vacancies that occur due to sickness, vacation and injured leave. If a relief man could be provided it would allow greater use of personnel during non vacation periods for fire prevention uses, training and other important depart- ment duties. CALL FIREFIGHTING PERSONNEL 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. Their duty is to supplement the regular firefighting force. The spirit of helping someone in need is first in their minds 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. These call firefighters are assigned as follows: HEADQUARTERS: Engine 1 Engine 3 Engine 4 C.W.Frates, Captain W.E.Poland J.A.Silvia B. W.Pratt D.F.Ainslie H.E. Marsh V.E.Tibbetts E.P.Barrow W.D.Enos E. J.Antoine E.H.Pratt R.L.Yocum T.M.Healy, Jr, R.W.Rosano R. P. Grassie J.J.DelSasso D.L.Kelley D . Souther M . H . Stevens L. L.Davis J. F.

R» Emanuello S.P.Kent C.Pape STATIONS AND EQUIPMENT With the exception of the headquarters of the Fire Department the condition of the remaining buildings is poor. These old buildings have long ago outlived their usefulness. ..the quarters are cramped, the garage space is far from adequate, they are poorly located and are poor examples of a fire safe building. In the year 1966, as in every preceeding year, the replacement of a small amount of fire hose which is no longer capable of dependable service was carried out. The department has made a practice of purchasing quality fire hose, given it the best possible care; which includes wash- ing, drying and inspection; and in return gets much longer usable life from each length of hose* The many different types of tools and appliances of the department were inspected and maintained by the on- duty firefighters on a regularly scheduled basis. I am pleased to state that the nozzles and fittings of the depart- ment were replaced as needed and added to in previous years. This has and will result inconsiderable savings due to the tremendous price increase in brass goods during 1966. Three different and special types of equipment were added to that of the department. . . 103 1. two additional self contained breathing masks were placed in service. They carry their own air supply and give greater protection against the toxic gases and smoke encountered in firefighting today. 2 o a portable water vacuum which will greatly reduce the amount of water damage resulting from firefighting was placed in service. This will aid in reducing the amount of damage to floors and ceilings . 3. a hand operated high expansion foam nozzle. This de- vice was used at an incident involving an automobile and the pumps at a service station about 48 hours after being put into service. The purpose being to cover the highly flammable liquid with a blanket of foam to ex- clude the oxygen and eliminate the possibility of a serious fire. RECOMMENDATIONS As in preceding years I must again recommend for your serious consideration the addition of at least two per- manent firefighters to the department. The activities of the department continue to show an increase year by year and the on-duty strength of the force shows a decrease. This condition cannot remain in existence if the depart- ment is expected to provide even the barest of service. If some consideration is not given to this request a serious and tragic fire is going to result from the failure to recog- nize the need of an effective initial striking force . The department must be able to assemble sufficient apparatus and manpower at the time the alarm is received or the re- sults are going to be the loss of life and loss of valuable taxable property. Each taxable structure lost by fire places the burden on the remaining taxpayers to meet the financial needs of the town. APPRECIATION Even though the laws of the Commonwealth require a permit for fires in the open I would like to thank the townspeople for their cooperation in obtaining them. It is interesting to note that as the number of such permits in- creases the number of grass and brush fires show a decrease. This action on the part of the people results in 104 a saving primarily in the expenditure of funds for the labor required in extinguishing such fires. In the year 1965 1^496 permits were issued for open air fires and the de- partment responded to 75 grass and brush fires. . .in 1966 ...2,164 permits were issued and the department extin- guished 72 such fires. In the year 1966 the department lost through re- tirement a permanent firefighter with 36 years of service. FrederickN.

Silvia: Superintendent of Town Disposal Area This year the board has enjoyed a unanimity of pur- pose > that of attempting to administer the sanitary code in the best possible manner. In so doing we have been aided tremendously by the efficient and conscientious work of the Health Agent, Mr. Anthony Vento. It is only appropriate that we take this opportunity to publicly commend him. We have this year also revised, and in some in- stances, instituted fees for licenses and permits. This was done so that we may have better control and knowledge of those persons who will be engaged in the various activ- ities over which we have jurisdiction, and the nominal fee may help to defray the clerical expense in the recording of these permits . In the last five months of the year we have operated under a revised state sanitary code. A code that is some- what stricter in its requirements and which will entail a moderate revision of our own sanitary code early in 1967. Needless to say the board is extremely grateful to its very willing and efficient personnel for a job well done in 1966. This includes our ^borrowed* clerical and sec- retarial staff. 106 TOWN DISPOSAL AREA Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., dally except Monday and Holidays The disposal area has been maintained in a sanitary con- dition imder the efficient operation of the Superintendent. An extension of the fence has been accomplished at the gate. As you know, the disposal area is constantly ex- panding. Expansion means more gravel, which is expen- sive, more work and care by the superintendent, more supervision by the Board of Health, and more cooperation by the citizens who use it. The Board is constantly striving to maintain the disposal area in a sanitary condition and also improve this area to the limit that tiie 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, 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 cooperation is appreciated.

Public toilet facilities were replaced under the cement bleachers at Milliken Field and steel doors were installed to protect the facilities from vandalism. Lights were installed at Cushing and Mealey Pond for night skating. A committee was formed comprising all recrea- tional organizations and interested citizens of the town to study the feasibility of combining all recreation groups. The commission attended meetings and met with Recrea- tion officials of other towns in. order to establish better recreation programs here in Cohasset. A summer recreation program was conducted at Hull Street play ground, mutually sponsored by the towns of Hingham and Cohasset. An extended summer program for other sections of the town is presently under study. At this time we wish to express our appreciation to Super intendent of Wires , Parker Malley, Hi ^way Sur- veyor, Louis C. Bailey, Jr., Superintendent of Milliken Field, M.J. Sullivan and the selectmen for their coopera- tion in our past endeavors.

FLINT, Town Collector 113 REPORT OF THE COHASSET PUBLIC SEWERAGE STUDY COMMITTEE The Study Committee reports the following developments in 1966. The Study Committee met several times prior to the March 1966 Town Meeting to review and discuss mat- ters related to public sewerage. After careful study, the Committee voted to present articles to the Town Meeting proposing the construction of a system of sewers, desig- nated on published plans as Phases One, Two and Three-A. Reaction by the Town Meeting was mixed. The citizens voted to construct the sewer system as proposed, but voted to postpone action indefinitely on those sections of the article requesting appointment of sewer commis- sioners, funds for construction, and apportionment of cost. Later in 1966, at the request of the School Facil- ities Committee, and with the approval of the Advisory Committee, the Sewerage Study Committee examined alternative methods of sewage disposal for the high school and its planned addition. After discussion with engineers, the School Facilities Committee, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and after deliberation, the Committee selected Plan A, recommending that the plant already approved by the Town be constructed, and that a main, capable of serving residences on Pond Street, be laid along Pond Street from the high school to the plant. The Sewerage Study Committee noted that this plant would be large enough, without expansion or alteration, to serve all present and future schools . It further noted that the plant could later be expanded to serve residence and bus- iness sites throughout the Town. RENE G. CKIASSON, Chairman HELEN E. SCRIPTURE (Board of Selectmen) ARTHUR L, CLARK (Water Commission) NATHAN W, BATES (Planning Board) WILLIAM J. MONTUORI (Board of Health) EDWARD A. McCarthy, M.D. (Board of Health) BRONSON H« WATERMAN JOHN A. CALABRO WILLIAM MORTON 114 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN The untimely death October 4, 1966 of Nathaniel Hurwitz was a keenly felt loss to all in the Town Hall. We who were privileged to work closely with him perhaps felt it most of all. He made many contributions of his time for the general welfare of the people of the town serving, among other posts, in the Great and General Court, the Cohasset Board of Health, as well as the Board of Public Welfare, the Assessors, and this Board. With the exception of the Aaron River project, the completion date for which has been postponed to July 1967, the matters entrusted to the Board of Selectmen by the 1966 Town Meeting have been accomplished. During the year the Commonwealth acquired the Hingham Ammunition Depot Annex to be maintained for pur- poses compatible with the overall desires of the Town for this area. The long awaited Federal Harbor Dredging Project inched along to the point that, at year-^nd the Army Eng- ineers advised that bids would be advertised in January 1967 and that the contract should be completed before the 1967 boating season begins. We, who also serve, can only stand and wait. All town buildings are in good condition, and such repairs as are necessary are made as soon as possible. The standards and morale of the town departments continues high and interested and efficient service to the townspeople is one of the beneficial results. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE w. Mclaughlin, Chairman HELEN E. SCRIPTURE 115 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR To the Citizens of Cohasset: Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway- Surveyor for the year ending December 31, 1966. The Department worked on street drainage during the winter and spring. Forty -eight standard catch basins were installed and 4052^ of 10" and 12" pipe was laid. Three and one -half miles of Mix-in-Place was laid in var- ious sections of Town. 2450^ of asphalt was put down on South Main Street. The sand and debris from the winter storms was quickly picked up by the Town owned Sweeper. Catch bas- ins were cleaned and the general maintenance work on street signs and fences was continued. Chapter 90 construction and maintenance funds were applied for. The construction funds will be used on Elm Street and the maintenance funds on South Main Street. An effort will be made to install a fence on Jeru- salem Road near Bow Street, and across the causeway. Workwillbe done on the following streets: Parker Avenue, Clay Spring Road, Bayberry, Tupelo and Arrow- wood Road. Your Highway Department thanks everyone for their help and cooperation during 1966.

Also a recapitulation sheet and a balance sheet showing the as- sets and liabilities and trust accounts. In accordance with Section 57 of Chapter 41 of the Tercentenary Edition of the General Laws , you will find a detailed report of the Town's Debt which amounts to $1,418,000.00 with the amount of interest due in 1967 of $35,263.00 and principal of $152,000.00. The records of permits and licenses issued by the Selectmen and other departments, receiving money for the Town or committing bills for collection were examined and checked, the reported payments to the Town Collector and Town Treasurer being compared with the Treasurer's re- corded receipts, also the Savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the several trust funds in the custody of the Town Treasurer. During the year, the Treasurer's cash balance was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with state- ments furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office. A complete audit of the books and accounts was made by the Department of Corporations and Taxations - Bureau of Accounts, as of August 31, 1966, at which time they were found to be correct with all funds properly ac- counted for. A detailed report of the audit can be seen in the Town Accountant's office anytime. In closing, I wish to take this opportunity to thank all departments for their sincere cooperation this past year.

Wire Inspection All work done by electrical contractors was in- spected, and permits and fees for this work were filed with the Town Accountant and Treasurer. Fire Alarm and Traffic Signals Overhead wire, cross arms and hardware were in- stalled throughout the Town where replacement was deemed necessary. All fire-alarm boxes were inspected and cleaned throughout the Town to assure proper functioning. Iwish 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 173 CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT I herewith submit the Civil Defense Report for the year ending December 31, 1966. The emergency hospital stored in the Deer Hill School was completely inventoried, medical supplies were replaced and added to where needed. The town warning system was inspected periodi- cally. Regular monthly radio drills were held in conjimc- tion with Sector 2D Headquarters , Two statewide exercises were held to test the ability of local communities to receive a warning notice. Through the excellent co-operation of the police and fire depart- ments who receive these messages we were able to respond quickly and accurately. Program papers and staffing reports have been prepared and filed as required. A program of training instructors to teach "Medical Self Help" was started and 4 instructors have been cert- ified. There are 27 ammunition bunkers located in the Ammunition Depot Annex that are licensed as fallout shel- ters capable of housing 4500 people. These bunkers have been fully stocked by the Federal Government. This prop- erty is currently being transferred by the Federal Govern- ment to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts therefore negotiations are being conducted by the State and local Civil Defense authorities to have the Commonwealth of Massachusetts maintain the bunkers in the same manner as the Federal Government. In closing this report I wish to thank all who have been interested in Civil Defense this past year. HARRY H. REED, JR. Director 174 REPORT OF PERSONNEL BOARD The Board met frequently during the year and , after requesting new job classification reports from the Town department heads , did considerable work on the compara- tive ratings of the Town jobs. As a result of this work some jobs were slightly reclassified. The Board will ask the Town to increase the pay schedules of its hired and appointed employees. The amounts to be asked have been determined by finding the position of Cohasset employees as compared with the average pay of the same or comparable jobs in the seven surroimding towns . On those jobs where Cohasset was found to be below the average, an adjustment will be added. In addition to this all schedules will be increased a cost of living per- centage. It' is hoped that the townspeople will find this pro- cedure acceptable and act on it accordingly. We wish to express our thanks to all who have assisted in the work of the Board this year. HERBERT R. TOWLE Chairman REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE The Department processed 61 applications in 5 categories in 1966, of which, 53 were approved. The cate- gories of Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Medical Assistance had the greater number of applications. 139 cases were aided in 1966. 175 Expenditures for assistance were $163,836.64 (the cost of Hospitals and Nursing Homes is included in this amount); $69,564.04 was reimbursed Federally; $59,402. 70 by the State. The extended Medicaid Program to persons under age 65, was the most important change during the year. Children of families of limited income, became eligible for medical care under a Federal Partic- ipation Program. We should like to express our appreciation to Mrs . Wright, Social Worker , and Mrs .Medeiros > District Nurse, and her Staff, for their cooperation in providing services, their assistance and interest in the enrollment of our over age 65 citizens in Medicare. The Town has an invaluable asset in this active organization. We should also like to thank the School Department for their continued cooperation. JUANriA J. OLIVER Director of Public Assistance The staff of the Social Service League provided the following Nursing Services from January 1, 1966 thru December 31 on orders from the attending physician and approval by the Welfare Department.

A. 5 197 2 80 1 26 1 12 176 CASEWORK REPORT 10 Cases have been carried co-operatively by Mrs. Oliver, and Mrs. Wright, Caseworker, during 1966. 3 of these have needed intensive help because of emotional ill- ness, financial strain, and in one case a need for physical rehabilitation and supportive treatment. We are greatly appreciative of Mrs. Oliver ^s im- mediate help in several crisis situations, and her continu- ing interest in many cases who may no longer be in need of financial help.
