SCHOOL FACILrriES REPORT

Early in 1964 the School Committee requested that

the School Facilities Committee investigate sites for addi-tional building for the expected enrollments in our secondarysection of our school system.

We started this study beginning with the request for

an updating of the enrollment projections. These were pre-pared by the School Administration Staff. They were checkedagainst the same type of a projection done in preparation of

the so-called Benjamin report by "Educational ServiceAssociates" School Consultants and finally by Mr. Domas,Administrator of the School BuildingAssistance Commission.

All of these studies we could expect between 800 or850 in grades 7 through 12 by 1973 thus the need for add-itional facilities is established. The present school here is

designed for 612.

At this point the Benjamin report is again examinedand we find that the recommendation is that due to the smallnumbers expected in the grades 7 & 8 that additional land beadded to the present High School site in order to providefacilities for grades 7 through 12 for the decade ahead and

29

point out further that this scheme affords the best educa-tional advantages and economy in construction.

Mr. Domas offers the same advice.

The Educational Specifications prepared and submit-ted to the School BuildingAssistance Commission point up dis-

tinct Educational advantages to continue the Secondary School

system as it is if possible. All that has been found to this

point is that this Committee is duty bound in the best interest

of the Education of our children and the citizens as a wholeis to continue the study of the present High School site andthe land around it for future school facilities development.In order to bring a study of this type to its final conclusionand make a firm recommendation it is necessary that funds

be made available to engage the professional services of anarchitect and engineer.

If this motion we are about to make is voted the first

phase of the Architects study known as preliminary planswill be presented to the School Committee and the AdvisoryBoard and to any interested body in the Town before the

second step in the motion covering working drawings is

undertaken. Harry H. Reed, Jr., ChairmanSchool Facilities Committee

Voted unanimously by a voice vote, that the sum of

$35,000.00 be and hereby is appropriated from available

cash in the Treasury for the purpose of obtaining prelimin-ary plans, detailed plans and specifications for additional

school facilities to be located at the High School site ad-jacent to the existing school; and further that said SchoolFacilities Committee be and hereby is authorized to act onbehalf of the Town in all matters necessary or incidental to

accomplishing the same

TO THE CITIZENS OF COHASSET:

In accordance with Chapter 40A Section 6 of the Gen-eral Laws, the Planning Board held a public hearing on the

evening of November 4th, 1965, for the purpose of consid-ering the amendment proposed to the Zoning By-Law underArticle 2 of the Warrant for the Town Meeting of November9, 1965, and further submits this report thereon.

Mr. Burnham, the sponsor of this article presentedhis views in favor and there followed favorable comments byseveral neighbors nad others. When the opportunity camefor those opposed to express themselves, two speakers hadquestions but did not speak against the proposed amendment.Ashowof hands indicated approximately 34 in favor and noneopposed.

35

The Planning Board feels that as this proposed amend-ment can only apply to the area now covered by the BlackRock House, that here the proposed modern construction

would not be unsightly, that the need for the proposed apart-

ment hotel does exist, and that a substantial tax revenuewithout significant increases in municipal services wouldresult, therefore the proposed amendment should be acted

on favorably.

lowing sentence:

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR

Submitted herewith is the report of the Highway Sur-veyor for the year ending December 31, 1965.

The Department worked on street drainage during the

winter and spring. Fifty-three catch basins were instaUed

and 4200' of 10" and 12" pipe was laid. Two and one -half

miles of Mix-in-Place was laid in various sections of Town.This work will continue

.

In a period of ten years, the Department has in-

stalled 245 catch basins, laid 24,880' of drain pipe, andresurfaced 24 miles of streets.

New street signs were installed, repaired, andpainted. Street painting was extended this year, and will

continue.

Chapter 90 construction and maintenance funds wereapplied for this year. The construction funds will be usedon Forest Avenue, and the maintenance money will be usedon streets approved by the state for such aid.

The town will receive $23,045.28 which has beenmade available by the Legislature from the proceeds of the

bond issue, chapter 679 acts of 1965. Two-thirds of this

money can be used this year and will be applied to ForestAvenue. Reconstruction of a 2,000' section from ForestNotch to Wheelwright Park will be advertised by the DPWin the spring.

All the articles assigned to the department werecompleted. In closing, I would like to recommend the townpurchase a street sweeper. This machine could be used for

a period of eight months, and would give the town a servicewhich cannot be duplicated by the present system.

I wish to thank the Town Officials, the citizens of

Cohasset, and the men on the Highway Department who haveassisted me through the year.

LOUIS C. BAILEY, JR., Highway Surveyor

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

SCHOOL COMMITTEE

REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEEThe third Monday of each month at 8:00 p.m. at theCohasset High School.

WILLIAM RIPLEY, Jr.

1965 SCHOOL COMMITTEE REPORT

To meet the demands of coming years for moreskills and knowledge, Cohasset Schools strive to educate

each student to his maximum capacity. Believing highstandards are supported by our citizens and ever mindfulof the greater cost of excellence in education, this School

Committee seeks to obtain full value for every dollar spent.

Nevertheless, it is frustrating to find that percentageincreases of total expenditures continue to rise faster than

pupil enrollments. Furthermore, the General Court con-tinues to raise minimum pay for teachers ($5000 effective

September 1965) without providing tax relief for local real

estate nor even adopting educational reforms recommendedby the Willis -Harrington Report.

The most significant and timely change during 1965was the approval by the Congress and President Johnsonof the Elementary and Secondary Education Act known asPublic Law 89-10. Thus, the Federal Government steppedin to support education at all levels, whereas, heretoforpayments were made only on account of students whose

56

parents are employed in National Defense (PL-874) and

only for certain specific subjects (Guidance, Science, For-eign Language) provided by the National Defense Education

Act (PL-864).

Under Title ni of PL 89-10 this committee gave ap-proval to join the towns of Hull, Hanover, Marshfield,

Plymouth-Carver, Scituate and Duxbury in a proposal seek-ing the creation of a regional education research and de-velopment center known as "Project Lighthouse." This

South Shore Schools Systems Center could receive a grant

for use in providing programs and improved educational

opportunities that no one town could afford.

The projected need for additional secondary facilities

for the fall of 1967 was passed on to the School Facilities

Committee. Educational specifications for a separate JuniorHigh School and additional space at the present High School

were approved for further study.

After receiving reports from both the school adminis-tration and the architect, Mr. Richard Rosane, this com-mittee approved as educationally sound and economicaladditions to be attached to the high school.

The ratio system of pay for teachers, adopted in the

1965 budget, went into effect in September with a minimumsalary of $5100. The relatively low turnover in overall

teaching staff attests to the attractiveness of this plan whichwill be continued in 1966 with a minimum of $5300,

We are sure to be joined by past members in ex-pressing appreciation to Mr. Osborne F. Ingram for his

wise guidance during 12 years as a member of this com-mittee and our chairman for 11 years.

As ever, we are grateful to Superintendent WilliamRipley, Jr. for his enthusiasm, common sense and pro-fessional skill in providing the vital leadership for ourschools.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Currently in the educational world there are many ex-perimental programs and innovations being tried and tested.

Therefore I have encouraged our staff members to becomeacquainted with these theories and techniques and to eval-

uate, adopt, and adapt those methods and materials whichwould best serve our needs. Staff members have attended

national, regional and state institutes, workshops, andlectures during the past year. With the assistance of the

South Shore Mental Health Clinic, a half day institute onMental Health was held within this school system. In 1965the teachers have taken a total of 54 courses in their re-spective fields at several institutions. Consequently I

believe that our staff has shown that individually they areconcerned with keeping up-to-date in todays s fast movingeducational world. Presently the primary school is espec-ially interested in studying the less rigid grade line restric-

tions to curriculum development and organization. At DeerHill a continued effort has been made for refining the group-ing methods in the skill subjects. Through team teaching,

the High School has made an attempt to revitalize the teaching

of United States History. More details of these and other

activities in curriculum development were presented in the

revived publication of 'Tour Cohasset Schools" in its fall

issue.

The graduating class numbering 117 was the largestin the schooPs history. Of these 64 entered four yearcolleges or universities; 7 entered two year colleges; and14 enrolled at technical or specialized schools.

I should like to express my appreciation for the fine

quality of administration provided by the principals of ourschools, Mrs, O'Quin completed 9 years of able adminis-tration and leadership in the Joseph Osgood School. At herrequest, Mrs. O'Quin has been assigned to teach the first

grade. Mr. Giuliano, principal of the Cohasset High School,deserves commendation for his energetic leadership of that

school. Mr. Creamer continues to display his sound judg-ment with the intermediate pupils at Deer Hill. Last Sep-tember Mrs. Catherine Mulcahy efficiently assumed admin-istrative duties at the Joseph Osgood School. Also I extend

58

my appreciation for the years of tireless service renderedby Mrs . Elinor Kennedy who first taught elementary pupils

in Cohasset in 1924, In June Mrs. Kennedy retired after

many years of fine teaching.

Certainly the citizens of Cohasset owe a debt of grat-

itude to Mr. Osborne F. Ingram for his 11 years as Chair-man of the Cohasset School Committee . When Mr . Ingram^sterm expired last March, he was not a candidate for re-election. Mr. Ingram *s careful and conscientious guidanceand advice will be missed.

It has been gratifying to workwith the dedicated peoplewho are members of the Cohasset School Committee. Fortheir patience and understanding I am most grateful

.

Respectfully submitted,

WILLIAM RIPLEY, JR.Superintendent of Schools

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTIST

To the Board of HealthCohasset, Massachusetts

Gentlemen:

The following report of dental operations at the

Joseph Osgood and Deer Hill School Dental clinics is sub-mitted for the period from January 1, 1965 to December 31,

1965.

Restorations

Silver Amalgrams (with and without base) 417Synthetic Porcelain 12

Anodyne 15Red Copper Cement 5

Extractions

Deciduous Teeth 95

Permanent Teeth . None

Prophylactic treatments 76

Examinations without treatment (at chair) 92

Weekly clinics at both schools functioned during the

school year, augumented with chair^side instruction, lectures

in the classrooms, instructional movies and film strips.

We try in a small way to impart a bit of oral health instruc-tion into the busy schedule of our modern youth, and it is

gratifying to note that the general oral health of the childrenhas vastly improved during the past twenty-five years

.

I would like to express my appreciation to Mrs.Gormley and the School Staff for their many favors through-out the school year.

REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHORE REGIONALSCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE

This has been a most gratifying year. June 1965

marked the end of our third school year and the graduation

of our first three year class o For this class the number of

job opportunities far exceeded the number of graduates and

the pay offered was , therefore, higher than ever. Industry

is becoming aware of the quality of our product.

In September 1965 we began our fourth school yearwith 246 pupils enrolled in the day school and 130 in the

evening trade extension courses. The latter courses areoffered to upgrade the tradesmen of the area and the pro-gram has been well received.

It is our hope that more parents will come to realize

the splendid opportunities for training and placement offered

by this school . The fact that many of the students come fromnon-regional communities indicates that neighboring townsare well aware of the schooPs contribution to the area. Thenew regional vocational schools soon to be opened in the

Brockton and Canton areas are an indication of widespreadpublic recognition of the value of vocational training.

As has been our policy in the past, the AdvisoryBoards and Finance Committees of all regional towns wereinvited to attend the School Committee budget meetings andto participate in the discussions. This has been a most ef-

fective arrangement since it allows active participation in

the discussions and decisions being made.

A relatively new activity of the school which probablyhas not come to the attention of many residents is the re-training of chronically unemployed persons. This activity

has been conducted for the Division of Employment Securityand is paid for entirely by the Federal Government. A sub-stantial benefit to the school district is the considerableamount of equipment supplied by the Federal Government.All of this equipment becomes the property of the schooldistrict when the courses are completed. This programhas been most successful. During the past year, seventypersons have been enrolled in three courses. All have

67

finished the courses and have found steady employment.

A new activity which is being explored with the schoolSuperintendents of the six member towns is some type of

limited vocational manipulative training for the academicallynon-gifted students . Just what form this training will take

can not be predicted at this time, but it is being given muchattention both at the federal and the state level and hope-fully will develop into a worthwhile project. The programswill be financed almost entirely by federal or state money.

We look forward to the years ahead, and to con-tinued service to our youth and to our industry.

SCHOOL FACILITIES REPORT - 1965

During the past year the School Facilities Committeehas geen engaged in a study of enrollment projections,

meetings with the School Building Assistance Commissionand the interviewing and selection of architects.

After careful consideration of all of the school build-

ing needs and methods of solving them and having obtained

the approval of the School Committee, it has been decided

to recommend to the Town that additions be made to the

present Junior -Senior High School on Pond Street as the

best solution to the building needs at this level from aneducational as well as an economical point of view. Toaccomplish this it will be necessary to obtain 16 acres of

land adjacent to the present property.

The firm of Drummey, Rosane, Anderson, 2276Washington Street, Newton Lower Falls, were selected as

architects and engineers.

REPORT OF THE COHASSET INCINERATOR COMMITTEE

Chapter 599 of the Acts of 1960 was entitled as fol-

lows:

AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE INCINERA-TION OF CERTAIN REFUSE AND GARBAGECOLLECTED IN THE TOWNS OF COHASSET

,

HINGHAM, HULLAND WEYMOUTH OR ANYTWO OR MORE CONTIGUOUS TOWNS OFSAID GROUP AND CREATING THE SOUTHSHORE INCINERATOR AUTHORITY ANDDEFINING ITS POWER AND DUTIES

This was enabling legislation permitting the townsreferred to therein to proceed jointly with the establishmentof a South Shore Incinerator Authority if they so desired.

The last section of this Act reads as follows:

'This Act shall take full effect only upon its

acceptance by the Towns of Cohasset, Hing-ham, Hull and Weymouth, or any two or morecontiguous towns of said group, by the vote

of a majority of the town meeting membersor voters, as the case may be, present andvoting thereon at an annual or special townmeeting called for the purpose in each of

said towns and upon the filing of certifi-

cates of such acceptances with the State

Secretary; provided, that such acceptancesand filing occur before June 1, 1963. ''

Since this enabling legislation has expired, no such

j oint venture can now be entered into . Further , the develop-

ments in the several towns indicate that there is not muchlikelihood of a demand for renewal of such enabling legis-lation, Weymouth has built its own incinerator which is

now in operation. Hingham has closed its old dump and hasestablished a new dimip in which the so-called sanitary land

fill procedures are being followed . Hingham's IncineratorCommittee has been disbanded. Hull has for the presentdecided to continue with its present dump. HulPs Inciner-ator Committee has been disbanded. Scituate, the only

69

other town adjoining Cohasset, is continuing the operation

of its two dumps and at present has no interest in inciner-

ation.

Thus it is apparent that so long as the present pro-cedures are continued in Hingham, Hull and Scituate, the

incineration problem is not likely to arise in Cohasset.

Your Committee reminds the Town that there is onfile in the Town Clerk's office a paper entitled ' 'Report onIncineration, Cohasset and Hull" prepared in January 1962by the Boston engineering firm of Fay, Spofford & Thorn-dike, InCo giving an estimate of what incineration wouldcostshouldanincinerator be jointly established by Cohassetand Hull. If the incineration question should arise in the

future, this report would serve as a good starting point for

further investigations.

The facts outlined indicate that the Cohasset Incin-

erator Committee should be discharged, and the Committeeso requests.

REPORT OF THE COHASSET PUBLIC

SEWERAGE SYSTEM STUDY COMMITTEE

The Study Committee reports the following developmentsin 1965.

(1) At the Town election March 13 the voters approved,by the decisive margin of 978 to 740, acceptance of enablinglegislation authorizing the Town of Cohasset to constructand operate a system or systems of sewerage and sewagedisposal. (Chapter 65 of the Acts of 1962, as amended byChapter 104 of the Acts of 1964).

(2) Detailed plans and specifications including detailed

cost estimates were completed by the engineering firm of

Fay, Spofford and Thorndike and delivered to the StudyCommittee. These plans are in accordance with previousdescriptions except that the building housing pumps andcontrol equipment is placed on Town property behind the

Water Department building on Elm Street, instead of ad-jacent to the treatment works in Jacobus Meadow. The areacovered is unchanged, with 1.3 miles of sewer mains andabout 125 connections serving Cohasset village. Elm Street,

Elm Court and much of the Harbor area (see 1964 map).Design of sewer main sizes and treatment plant has beencarried out to provide for economical expansion of the sys-tem to include all areas of the Town, if the Town wants ex-pansion and votes the money. Total cost of the system,including engineering supervision, contingency and landcosts is now estimated to be $484,000, but this would besubjecttoa reduction of $18 7, 000 by application for Federalgrants now available. The increase in estimate above the

$405, 000 figure of 1964 is due partly to rising constructioncosts and partly to specification of some improved equip-ment.

(3) Having authorized final payment to the engineers, the

Study Committee gives the following recapitulation of ex-penditures authorized by the Town at various times for

planning, investigation and reports:

72

$ 1,000 under article 30, 1960 Town Meeting500 under article 25, 1961 Town Meeting

2,000 under article 35, 1962 Town Meeting20,800 under article 33, 1963 Town Meeting

$24,300 Total expenditures authorized and madethrough December 31, 1965

(4) Several acts have been passed by Congress in 1965

providing grants in connection with public sewerage sys-

tems or amending previous acts to liberalize grants. TheStudy Committee has obtained information and ascertained

that some of these grants can only be used by communitiesin economically distressed areas or areas of high unemploy-ment. Cohasset does not qualify for such grants. However,public law 8 9-1 17 provides 50 per cent grants for construc-

tion of public sewerage system (excluding treatment plant)

and water system facilities. From the wording of the lawit appears that Cohasset would be eligible to apply for andreceive such a grant. This law will be administered by the

new Department of Housing and Urban Development. Eligi-

bility requirements and application procedures have not yet

been worked out at the time of writing this report. How-ever, the Study Committee has written to the Housing andHome Finance Agency describing the status of the systemplanned for Cohasset and requesting information on appli-

cation procedures and eligibility requirements when they

are available. The Study Committee feels that a grant of

this sort would be an extremely strong incentive for the

Town to proceed as rapidly as possible with construction.

The estimate of the cost of street sewer mains is $224,000.A grant of 50 per cent would save the town $112, 000 of this

cost. If the balance is shared in the proportion of two-thirds by the abutters and one-third by the town, as recom-mended by the Advisory Committee in 1964, the necessaryassessment and connection fees would be very close to those

described in 1964. An assessment of $4 .00 per front foot

plus one cent per square foot of area to a maximum depthof 200 feet would be adequate, in conjimction with a street

connection fee of approximately $165. The average assess-ment for the properties served by the system recommendedon this method of assessment would be $430. The total

assessment and connection fee could be amortized on a long-term basis (for example, twenty years) through arrange-ments that will be set up by the Sewer Commissioners.

73

(5) Because of the previous developments the Study Com-mittee voted to present to the Town again in March 1966articles providing for authorization and funds to construct

the recommended sewerage system. This is essentially

the same system recommended in 1964 and approved by the

Advisory Committee at that time. Although the total cost

is higher than in 1964, the net cost to the Town would be

lower, withthe Federal grant now available for construction

of sewer mains . Each year of delay means an increase in

construction costs until the time comes when delay is nolonger possible. The cost of a well-designed new systemfor a four-bedroom house or repair of a difficult problemon an existing system often reaches a figure of $1, 000, andin many cases may exceed this. Such costs, as well as the

cost ofpumping out septic tanks and cesspools must be kept

in mind in weighing the costs of a public sewerage system,which provides the only satisfactory permanent way of dis-

posing of sewage. Approximately half of Massachusettstowns with a population between 5,000 and 10,000 have a

public sewerage system. Towns with population over 10, 000

have systems, virtually without exception. Hingham, Scit-

uate, and Rockland are building public sewerage systems.Cohas set will be in a very backward and disadvantaged posi-tion in comparison with other towns of its size and other

towns nearby if a start is not made soon.

(6) An addition is being planned for the Cohasset HighSchool-Junior High School complex. The older part of the

sewage disposal system at the high school has given trouble

in the past, is not working properly now, and will have to

be completely replaced. The newer part of the system will

also have to be replaced because of location of part of the

new building in its area. The Town is thus faced with con-struction of a large and expensive individual sewage disposal

system to serve existing buildings with the new additions.

If the Town approves construction of the recommended sew-erage system the treatment plant would have the capacityto take care of the waste from the high school. The engi-neers have estimated that a line from the high school downPleasant Street to Cushing Road, along Cushing Road andthen across to Jacob's Meadow and the treatment plant couldbe built for approximately $155, 000, including engineering

74

fees and contingencies. The Study Committee is strongly

of the opinion it would make much better sense for the town

to start the recommended sewage system and then start

immediate plans for construction as soon as possible of the

line from the high school. The saving of construction cost

of a very extensive system at the high school could very

well offset a large part of the town^s share of a sewer mainfrom the high school to the treatment plant. Comparative

cost figures will be presented at Town Meeting, with the

cooperation of the School Facilities Committee.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE

TheDepartmentprocessed 57 applications in 1965, of

which 43 were approved for assistance . A total of 121 caseswere aided - 124 adults and 69 children. 86 cases are con-tinued into 1966,

$162, 963.06 was expended in the 4 Federal partici-

pating categories; 68,8% of this amount was spent for

persons 65 years of age and older. State and Federal reim-bursement was 77. 7% for these categories. $4, 593.49 wasexpended for General Relief - 20% was reimbursed by the

State.

The increase in expenditure in 1965 is largely due to

the advance in the cost of hospitalization and other medicalservices. An increase in the LTA item in the OAA pro-gram, effective 11-1-65, was the only budgetary increase.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OFWATER COMMISSIONERS

As a result of the vote of the Town meeting, author-

izing a $180,000 bond issue, your Water Department hasconstructed a two million gallon standpipe, in which to store

water in a clean and sanitary method » This will also in-

crease the pressure throughout the entire system.

We have also laid approximately six thousand feet

of twelve inch water main along route 3-A, from King Street

to Beechwood Street.

There is still a small distance to go to complete the

project. This will help greatly the flow of water for fire

protection, as is required by the Fire Insurance RatingAssociation.

The drought has caused great concern to the WaterDepartment and a continuing search for water must be main-tained .

The Water Department is greatly interested in the

development of Aaron River , as a potential source of water,and feel that a request for a Chapter 91 project should bemade. The greater portion of this water should be made to

flow directly into Lily Pond, instead of flowing out to the

ocean.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Works hasmade a preliminary survey of this project, and we are nowwaiting for the report of the survey.

The Water Commissioners will strive to make better-ments and improve the system within our earning capacity.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF THEPAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY

During the year 1965 the Library Staff completedits "resettlement program" - the task of moving books,

etc. , and spreading out into our new addition. We foundthat the addition now supplies ample space for the children,

an adequate reference room and study hall and a reading,

browsing room for the adults. The arrangement has workedout even better than anticipated.

Various meetings and Conferences have been at-

tended duringtheyear - the Massachusetts Library Associ-ation at Provincetown, the New England Library Association

82

at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the Old Colony LibraryAssociation. I have also attended meetings of the LibraryAdministrators Association of Greater Boston and kept in

touch with the progress of the formation of the EasternRegion. The completion of this Regional setup has beenheld up by a legal formality concerning the Boston Public

Library. Progress has been made, notably the ability to

borrow freely from the Boston Public Library and we areconfident the remaining problems will be settled shortly.

Mrs. Evelyn Wood, the Children's Librarian, hasattended round table discussions at neighboring Librariesconcerning Children's Books and Services. She also con-ducts the Children's Story Hour held each Saturday morningat 10:30.

In September we had a meeting of representativesfrom the Schools , School Committee and the Parent Teach-er's Association with the Library Directors and Trustees.This meetingwas held to discuss ways and means of obtain-

ing better cooperation between the School faculty , Librariansand Public Librarians.

A Great Book Group meets at the Library on the

first and third Thursday of each month. This Group is

sponsored by the Library and conducted by Mrs. RichardA. Welch.

We have had continuous Art Exhibits throughout the

year by courtesy of the South Shore Art Center and privateindividuals

.

Statistics for the year are as follows:

New Registrations 476Registrations withdrawn 358Number of books added 1734Number of books withdrawn 1718

REPORT OF THE COHASSETCONSERVATION COMMISSION

The work of the Conservation Commission has been

varied in 1965. Some of the more interesting and important

activities in which we were involved are as follows:

The preservation of marshland for conservation

purposes, that is, to provide a food source for our coastal

fisheries, rest areas for our visiting waterfowl and other

bird life, and a source of natural beauty and enjoyment to

our townspeople, is one of the major concerns of the Con-servation Commission. Towards this end we have beenstudying these areas inCohasset with a view to making sure

they remain in their natural state. The Commission wasgranted conservation easements through the generosity of

Mrs. E. B. Boardman and Mrs. William Cox on marshlandowned by them on Howard Gleason Road off Atlantic Avenue

»

Commission members have talked with other owners of

marshland in the vicinity and it is probable that additional

conservation easements will be granted here in the nearfuture. Under an easement of this type, the owner retains

possession of the property but agrees to restrict its use sothat there will be no change in the natural state of the land

by filling, excavating or dumping and that no building or

structure will be erected on it. Mr. Charles L. Smith wasmade an associate member of the Commission in 1965. Hewill be primarily concerned with working with other mem-bers of the Commission to acquire or control by easementmarshland in the Gulf area. Our Commission is workingclosely with the Scituate Conservation Commission in this

area of mutual interest.

The Commission was responsible for having the

Norfolk County Conservation District make a survey of EllmsMeadow, an area of eleven acres off Spring Street andCushing Road consisting of wooded land and a small pond,

as well as meadow. The purpose of the survey was to deter-mine what steps could be taken to improve the area from a

conservation and recreation point of view without disturbing

the activities of the Water Department, which has juris-

diction over the land. An excellent report was receivedfrom the Conservation District, at no cost to the town, in

85

which suggestions and recommendations were made to

achieve the desired results. A meeting will be held early

in 1966 with interested town committees and private groupsparticipating to plan a definite program to carry out the

recommendations given in the report.

The Commission continued to work closely with the

Board of Selectmen to see that the Zoning Bvlaw (Section 4Paragraph E) which concerns filling of marshlands , etc . , wasenforced. For the most part, persons undertaking filling

activity, so informed by the Selectmen, made application

for a permit to the Board of Appeals and in every case apermit was granted. It is interesting to note that at somehearings before the Board of Appeals information wasbrought out that was of real benefit to the applicant by wayof abetter understanding of how drainage should be handledon his land and what the effect of what he was doing, in re-gard to filling, had on the adjoining land.

Members of the Commission have attended meetingsof other town committees during the year and plan to do this

on a regular basis in the coming year. We think that there

is not enough exchange of ideas between the various official

groups within the town government system in Cohasset andhope that the extra time Commission members spend onthis will be rewarding.

Aprojectwe started in 1965 and plan to devote moretime to in coming years is to work closely with the CohassetSchools to help interest our young people in conservation.Interesting speakers at school assemblies, encouragingconservation projects at the Science Fair, providing the

school librarian with books and descriptive material on con-servation, and making use of our "natural laboratories"such as could exist at Ellms Meadow and other areas in

town, are some of the ways of accomplishing this goal.

We are sorry to report the resignation in 1965 of

two members of the Commission, Mrs. Richardson Whiteand Mr. Robert Kilmarx. Both contributed a great deal to

the accomplishments of the Commission as a whole and their

loss will be felt for a long time to come.

SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT

To the Citizens of the Town of Cohasset:

Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore

Mosquito Control Project's activities in the Town of Cohasset

for the year ending October 31, 1965.

The Town of Cohasset appropriated $4200 for mos-quito control in 1965. Alongwiththis $800 was appropriated

for salt marsh maintenance. This was used for mosquitocontrol in the Town of Cohasset by the South Shore MosquitoControl Project, a cooperative effort under General Laws,Chapter 252, embracing the City of Quincy and the Townsof Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marsh-field, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth, a total of 172.21square miles, servicing a population of over 222,824.

The project operates year round, continuing to baseits operations on a three phase program; Permanent Control,

the elimination of mosquito breeding sites by proper watermanagement; Preventive Control, the elimination of mos-quito larvae by spraying or dusting breeding sites; AdultControl, the elimination of the flying mosquitoes by spacespraying or fogging.

With this as the basic plan the following was accom-plished in the Town of Cohasset this year.

PERMANENT CONTROL

2300 feet of drainage were reclaimed and 300 feet of

new drainage ditch were trenched to reduce water from be-coming stagnant enough to produce mosquitoes.

PREVENTIVE CONTROL

275 acres of small isolated woodland swamp wereprehatch treated with dust upon ice in winter months to pre-vent the development of the mosquito eggs. 1053 acres of

larger swamp areas were larval treated in the spring of the

year by air from a helicopter aircraft to control mosquitoesof the early season.

87

Duringthe summer season many wet areas had to be

checked for their larval and pupal content. Areas like the

salt marsh had to be rechecked as much as three and four

times. Wherever mosquito larvae and pupae were found

the conditions were remedied by spraying or removing the

water container. 611 gallons of insecticide were applied

for this larval/pupal control.

Catchbasins, a source of a great number of mosquitolarvae, may have to be treated as often as three times a

season, depending on wet or dry season. It was necessaryto treat 150 basins in the Town of Cohasset this year.

ADULT CONTROL

Spray for adult mosquitoes becomes necessary whencomplaints are received of large numbers of mosquitoesmoving into an area. These mosquitoes usually migratefrom uncontrolled areas outside of the project's boundaries,or come from man-created conditions around homes whereany type of container containing water will breed the culex

or house mosquito. The project received 1027 calls last

season. Action in some form was taken on all.

In the Town of Cohasset 1187 gallons of insecticide

were space sprayed for adult mosquitoes with hydraulic

sprayer and mist blower.

When weather and other conditions were favorablean insecticidal thermal fogger was used. 15 gallons of

insecticide and oil in a fog were applied at the rate of 4-1/2gallons to the acre in the Town of Cohasset.

INSECTICIDES

The insecticides used by the South Shore MosquitoControl Project are:

DDT DustDDT EmulsionsMalathion EmulsionMalathion Miscible in oil, fogDiBrom 14 in oil, fog

Baytex Emulsions, catchbasins#2 Oil

88

All insecticides are registered and are labelled for

use in mosquito control. They are formulated and applied

in accord with and at no greater amounts than their labels

recommend to be proper for mosquito control operations.

The project wishes to acknowledge the help receivedfrom officials and departments of the towns and city and

sincerely hopes that benefits derived by these departmentsas a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived

by the project.

The main purpose of this project is to "Control."This means to prevent large populations of mosquitoes fromemerging from their breeding sites to infest communities,not by any means to completely eradicate the mosquitoes.Yet the number of calls received by the project this pastseason (1027) a comparatively low breeding year, wouldindicate that many of the townspeople by their calls haveeither lost sight of this fact or do not understand the func-tions of a control project.

Many of the calls were for a personalized type of

backyard adult spray or a routine tjê neighborhood spraywhere no great mosquito problem exists. This type of oper-ation is wrong for many reasons, a few being:

It is wasteful in both material and labor,

it takes personnel away from more practical work,

and most important, the unnecessary use of insect-icides can endanger the environment.

In the future request calls shall be more scrutinized.

Before insecticides are to be used there shall be a mosquitoproblem.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN - 1965

Care of the shade trees of the town this past yearwas carried on in a routine manner. Several trees in adangerous condition were cut down as a safety measure.Roadside brush was cleared in several areas, particularlyPond Street, to promote safety. Considerable pruning of

89

large trees was done with the help of a Skyworker. TheBrockton Edison Company cooperated in clearing deadwoodand overhanging branches over wires

.

Eighteen (18) trees were planted in various placesabout townwhere needed. Vandalism has made it necessaryto replant trees in several places

.

Continued drought has made it necessary to waternewly planted trees to keep them alive and has damagedlarge trees growing under unfavorable conditions.

The Public Shade Trees of the town are now in fairly

good condition, but many are in danger of damage by soil com-paction caused by parking of cars. Curbing, especially on ElmStreet, would make it possible to plant more young trees.

With thanks to all officials and citizens who by their

comments have assisted me in my work.


HOWARD BATES, Tree Warden

REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT - 1965

Insect damage and Dutch Elm Disease have beencomparatively light this past year.

Cankerworms again appeared in the Forest Avenue-Golf Club area, but use of the Mist Blower only was neces-sary to control them.

Elms were sprayed with Thiodan and Aramite to

control elm leaf beetles , aphids , and mites with very goodresults

.

Cankerworms and other chewing and noxious pestswere very well controlled by the use of Sevin, a new andcomparatively safe insecticide.

90

POISON IVY CONTROL

Poison Ivy Control was continued with the use of

Esteron Brush Killer, and very little Poison Ivy is to be

found in exposed places

.

DUTCH ELM DISEASE

Methoxychlor, a comparatively safe insecticide to

humans and wildlife , was used as a dormant spray to all elmtrees that could be reached by truck.

The continued program for Dutch Elm Disease Con-trol, consistingof a dormant spray and a sanitation programhas cutD . E . D . losses to the lowestpoint in years , 36 . Onlyseven (7) of these could be considered public shade trees,

and none were found on the Common or on adjacent streets.

All free falling diseased trees have been cut, andthe remaining 18 to be topped will be removed by early

spring. All citizens noticing sudden wilting or yellowing of

elm leaves in June and July, the symptoms of Dutch ElmDisease, are urged to call the Moth Superintendent.

Respectfully submitted

,

HOWARD BATESMoth Superintendent

CIVIL DEFENSE REPORT

I herewith submit the Civil Defense Report for the

year ending December 31, 1965.

The additional 200 bed hospital is now complete.This gives the Town a 400 bed hospital complete with emer-gency medical supplies.

All medical supplies were inventoried, replaced andadded to where necessary.

The Town warning system was inspected periodicallyduring the year. One new radio (receiver -transmitter) wasadded to our commimications system.

91

Regular monthly radio drills are held in conjunction

with Sector 2D Headquarters.

The two exercises conducted statewide to test the

ability of local communities to receive a warning notice

were received over the teletype facilities in our Police

Headquarters allowing us to reply promptly to them. Thesemessages also are received over a receiver located in the

Fire Station and are broadcast by the State Police.

These methods of communication and the radios wehave, we believe, give us a good communication coverage.

Lists of all doctors and nurses who live in the Townare currently being up-dated.

Programpapers and staffing reports have been pre-pared, filed and approved as required.

It is expected that a course for school teachers will

be held early in 1966 at the Bridgewater State College in

"Personal and Family Survival". This will be a 15 hourcourse. Those completing the course will be entitled to

serve as an Instructor in their local communities

.

The motorized equipment is generally in good condition andcapable of performing the work required of it. During the yearroutine maintenance such as changing oil and greasing was done by

the men on duty.

To continue the useful life of Engine 3 it is necessary to re-build the motor and replace the now leaking water tank. Upon com-pletion of this work it should be capable of several more years of

service. This course of action seems to me to be more sensible

and economical than early replacement.

PERSONNEL

There are presently employed sixteen permanent officers

and firefighters in the Fire Department. These men are divided

into three work groups, each commanded by an officer and working56 hours per week. The manpower on these three groups is thendivided again and assigned to Fire Headquarters, North Cohassetand Beechwood.

It should be noted that there is a lack of personnel to fill out

the table of organization listed above. The requirements above arethe extreme minimum for safe and efficient operation. It should beremembered that the Fire Department provides service 24 hours aday — 365 days in the year. The purpose of the relief man wouldbe to cover vacancies that occur due to vacation, illness, and injury

and still allow for proper manning. The Fire Alarm Operatorwould maintain coverage of the telephone, radio and fire alarmequipment during simultaneous or multiple alarms and make certain

that Mutual Aid is available for covering our stations.

Call officers and call firefighters are assigned to the variouscompanies as follows:

A call firefighter upon the sounding of an alarm leaves his

work or home and responds to the fire — this call may come at any

time of the day or night. The spirit of helping someone in need is

paramount in their mind and for this reason they deserve the thanks

and appreciation of the townspeople. The rate of compensation is

not great but the risks involved are — their dedication and devotion

to duty are to be commended.

STATIONS AND EQUIPMENT

The three fire stations of the department required somemaintenance work. Naturally the Headquarters building being newdid not require much more than very minor repair and adjustment.It is apleasant feeling to have people come from other communitiesto survey this facility and comment on its beauty and practicability.

The officers and firefighters of the department maintain not only

the interior of the fire department's portion of fhe building but also

the exterior and grounds . All the lawns and shrubbery were trimmedand fertilized and all the grass area treated with weed killer andtop dressed.

The driveway aprons at the North Cohasset Fire Station andthe Beechwood Fire Station were rebuilt by the Highway Departmentwith paving material

.

The foundation and sills at the rear of the North CohassetFire Station and Post Office were repaired and put in good order,this workwas done under the jurisdiction of the Board of Selectmen.

The hundreds of tools of the department both large and smallwere checked continually and necessary repairs and adjustmentsmade. The greatest portion of this work being done by the fire-

fighters. Replacements for damaged and overage hose were made,to maintain hose that is capable of service it is necessary to makecontinual replacement of over age hose. This discarded hose is

available for use at the dump, and by the water and hi^way depart-ments .

GENERAL

All permanent officers and men, plus a group of call fire-

fighters attended and were certified by the American Red Cross in

Advanced First Aid. Firefighter Richard M. Conley attended and

was certified as an instructor by the American Red Cross, this will

allow the department to have refresher courses and training within

its own ranks.

99

The results of the survey conducted in 1964 by The NewEngland Fire Insurance Rating Association have not yet been final-

ized. They are awaiting completion of the improvements to the

water distribution system currently under way. When this work is

complete fire flow tests will be run and the results computed. Thisinformation will then be presented along with their findings andrecommendations

.

A continuing training program is underway within the de-partment. Review of the basic evolutions and studying and trying

out new practices is necessary to keep abreast with the changingtimes. Again, this year, several members at their own expenseattended the Fire Training School conducted by the New HampshireFire Chiefs' Club.

All citizens of the Town are urged to obtain a permit for

fires in the open. This is required by the General Laws of the

Commonwealth, and may be obtained by calling Fire Headquarterseach day an open air fire is desired.

The past year has been the driest in many, many years andthe fact that the Fire Department responded to fewer grass and brushfires under these extreme conditions is testimony to the results ob-tained by the citizens of Cohasset cooperating and using care in

burning in the open. In 1965 the Fire Department issued 1,496 suchpermits

.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations are for your serious con-sideration.

1. the addition of at least two permanent firefighters to the

department to allow the department to function at a safe andefficient minimum strength.

2 . to consider the adoption of a By-Law requiring the installation

of a fire detection system in new dwelling construction andthe installation of sprinklers in mercantile buildings withlarge open floor space.

APPRECIATION

In the year 1965 two members of the department who had longand faithful service as Call Firefighters passed on.

Mr. Louis E. Salvador, assigned to Engine 1 andMr. Bernard J. Salvador, assigned to Engine 1

In concludingthis report Iwould like to extend to the citizens

of Cohasset, the Honorable Board of Selectmen, the heads and mem-bers of all Town Departments and Committees my sincere thanksand appreciation for their cooperation and assistance.

I would also like to thank the officers and men of the FireDepartment for their understanding, cooperation and assistance.Without these things it would be difficult to carry out the activities

of the department.Respectfully submitted,

CHARLES PIEPENBRINKChief of Fire Department

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN

With the exception of a part of the sidewalk on Sohier

Street, and the new floats at Government Island, the in-

structions of the Town as set forth in the votes of the MarchMeeting have been carried out by the Board of Selectmen,

It has been determined by Town Counsel that the

completion of the Sohier Street project will require a formalplan and layout, which will involve a further Town Meetingvote. It was found that additional money would be requiredfor the construction of the floats desired. This additional

amount has been made available by action of the AdvisoryCommittee, and the work will be completed before spring.

Engineering studies of the Aaron River have beenmade, and the Board is awaiting a report on the results of

the studies from the Department of Waterways. SenatorWeeks and Representative Gates have continued to workclosely with the Board on this matter, as have the AaronRiver Committee and the Water Commissioners.

Final approval of the Harbor Dredging Project wasreceived from the Federal Government during the year . TheTown has notified the Federal Government that funds areavailable for its share of the estimated work. The share to

be met by the Commonwealth was not voted in the 1966 bud-get as passed by the legislature . The Board has been advised

by the Department of Public Works that the indications arefavorable for the passage of this budget item in the up-coming legislative year„

The status of the Hingham Ammunition Depot Annexcontinues unchanged.

During the year, repairs to the Town Clock werecompleted by Mr. Danforth Lincoln, Mr. Arnold Weeks, andMr. Prescott Cumner, who acted both as committee and asworkers in completing the work.

152

The Board is especially appreciative of such coop-erative efforts from our townspeople, which matches the

high calibre of effort and performance that has been enjoyedthroughout the Town Departments,


GEORGE W, Mclaughlin, chairman

REPORT OF THE AARON RIVER COMMITTEE

Honorable Board of Selectmen:

Through the efforts of the Board of Selectmen ^dothers, a profile and location study of the Aaron River wasmade available by the Massachusetts Department of PublicWorks, Waterways Division for our review on 21 January1966. After discussion with the Cohasset Water Commis-sioners, itwas resolved that a Chapter 91 stream clearanceproject to eliminate flooding would lower the stream flow

line so that the proposed water diversion at the PumpingStation for water supply storage would be both difficult andexpensive. Since a drainage study is being requested by the

Water Commissioners through Federal assistance, it wasconcluded that the results of this further study should beavailable before any master plan for the utilization of AaronRiver for water supply is made.

So that flooding problems on Aaron River may berelieved, an article is being presented at this 1966 TownMeeting to request an appropriation to clean, repair andotherwise improve the stream flow to its original state with-out significantly changing the stream location or flow line at

this time.

Manual P . Silvia: Superintendent of Town Disposal Area

An urgent personnel need was filled when the position

of Health Agent was converted in 1965 from a part-time(three days per week) to a full-time basis. Because of the

irregular nature of much of the field investigation and in-

spection this has resulted in quicker, more effective workin connection with nuisance complaints and installation of

sewage disposal systems. The increased time available to

the Agent also permits an improved public health program in

many areas and a better control of expenses and department-al operations . The Board expresses its grateful recognition

for loyal and efficient services rendered in 1965 by its HealthAgent, Mr. Vento, and all other personnel.

SOIL INVENTORY REPORT

A 67 page report was prepared by the Soil Conservat-ion Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and delivered

to the Town in July 1965, with accompanying maps. The re-port was based on aerial photographs , existing maps , field

surveys , test borings , and numerous soil analyses . The first

section of the report, ''General Soil Areas, " provides inform-ation suitable for broad, overall planning purposes as a zon-ing guide. The section, ''Soil Interpretations for Specific

Land Uses "furnishes a map and description of the limitations

of soils in the Town for the following uses: sewage disposal

commercial and industrial sites, home sites, athletic fields,

wetland wildlife sites, sources of sand and gravel, roads.

i

154

woodlands, relationof soils to surface runoff, and land slope

characteristics. The third section is entitled "Description

of Soils and Land Types, "and this is supplemented by a

technical appendix. Under the sponsorship of the Conserva-tion Commission a public meeting was held at Town Hall on

September 8, 1965, at which the report was described and

town officials and citizens had an opportunity to question Mr.Ritzer, Soil Conservationist, and Mr. Upham, Senior Soil

Scientist, who prepared the report. Copies have been dis-

tributed to interested Town Departments and to the League of

Women Voters, whose interest and activity stimulated the

preparation ofArticle 30 in the 1964 Town Meeting. The cost

of the report was $1200, which is a small fraction of the

cost to the town if equivalent work had been done by a private

engineering firm. Extremely valuable reference materialhas thus been made available to all Town Departments con-cerenedinany way with land use. The Board of Health Pur-chased a limited number of extra copies of the report whichmay be obtained from the Health Agent at $2 per copy, the

procurement cost.

From the standpoint of the Board of Health the mostimportant finding of the report was the extremely smallamount of unbuilt land remaining in town that does not havesevere limitations (impermeable soil, high water table, bed-rock close to surface, or excessive slope) for individual sew-age disposal. Of the land classified, 6490 acres had moder-ate or severe limitations, and only 44 acres, or 0.7%, weregenerally suitable for this purpose on the basis of the general

residential zoning for 20, 000-square-foot lots.

SUMMARY, CONFIRMED SEWAGE SYSTEM FAILURES, 1960-1965

Because nuisances, pollution and resulting dangersto health constitute the most important public health problemfor the Town of Cohasset, the Board of Health has reviewedits records of investigation of sewage disposal nuisances

during the period of 1960-1965.

Confirmed failures of sewage disposal systems are

summarized in the table below, but it should be emphasizedthat the total figure underestimates the true figure by a con-

siderable margin. This is due to omission of second or third

155

failures of a system of the same property, correction of

nuisances by pum.ping out cesspools or septic tanks before anycomplaint is made, and pollution problems that undoubtedlyexist without being detected.

During 1960-1965 it is reasonable to estimate that oneproperty out of every three or four experienced a disposal

system failure in the area east of Route 3A, rather than oneout of six or seven as shown in the Table. Although there is

a concentration of very difficult problems in the center of

town and the harbor area, the distribution of sewage complaintsverified by investigation is suprisingly uniform over the built

-

upon areas of town.

The Board is more strongly convinced than ever that

the only satisfactory solution for Cohasset is a public seweragesystem and supports the concept of orderly expansion of the

plan to be presented at town meeting, especially to include

all our schools at as early a date as practical.

TOWN DUMP DISPOSAL AREA

Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., daily except Monday andHolidays

.

The disposal area has been maintained in a sanitary

condition under the efficient operation of the Superintendent.An extension of the fence has been accomplished within the

past year, near the dumping area and also at the main gate.

The well area has been cleaned out and repacked as recom-mended by the Fire Chief and Water Superintendent, as ameasure to increase and maintain our water supply for fire

protection. We did have water from the well throughout the

summer in spite of the exceptional drought.

As you know, the disposal area is constantly expand-ing. Expansion means more gravel, which is expensive,

more work andcare by the superintendent , and more super-vision by the Board of Health. The Board is constantly

striving to maintain the disposal area in a sanitary condition

and also improve this area to the limit that the budget will

allow.

At this time, we would like to ask for the cooperationof the townspeople to place their garbage in the containersprovided, to dump over the edge when possible or as close

to the edge as possible, and to properly secure their trash

in their vehicle on the way to the disposal area. Your coop-eration will be appreciated.

WIRE INSPECTION

Wire inspection fees and wiring permits were filed

with the Town Accountant and Town Treasurer.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has adopted a

new Massachusetts Electrical Code made up by the Depart-ment of Public Safety—Board of Fire Prevention. This newcode replaces the old National Code. All Electrical Con-tractors performingwiring and repairs are governed by this

code in every Town and City in Massachusetts.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS AND REPAIRS

All repairs and new work to Town owned buildings

were done by this department. Considerable new wiring in-

stallations were done for the Water Department at Station

#4 in connection with the new two million gallon Water Tankand new safety devices were installed.

FIRE ALARM AND TRAFFIC SIGNALS

Five miles of new overhead Fire Alarm wire was in-

stalled and two new Fire Boxes . Many miles of overheadwire was repaired due to severe storms. New cross armsand hardware were installed to replace worn out old ones

,

All Fire Alarm Boxes and Traffic Signal Standardswere painted. All Traffic signals were kept in good repair.

I wish to express my thanks to the Honorable Boardof Selectmen—all Town Officials, and to the men who workedwith me.

Respectfully yours,

EDWARD P, MALLEY

Superintendent of Wires

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD

The report of the Planning Board for 1965 is herebysubmitted

.

The pressures of the expanding metropolitan areacontinue to be felt by the Town of Cohasset. These pressuresare caused by the saturation of residential land close to the

urban area and by improved highway transportation facilities

from the suburbs to the urban center. To add to this pres-sure, the plans are now firm for an MBTA rapid transit

extension as far as Hingham. Many more new people will

plan to move to South Shore communities.

Cohasset at such a time finds itself with a zoning by-law which allows 20,000 sq. ft. lots throughout most of the

town and is the only town for miles around that is zoned soloosely. It finds itself with crowded schools but with no land

reserved for future school sites. Such sites have been re-commended annually since the Benjamin Report of 1961. It

finds itself with a serious water supply problem which canonly be solved by capturing and storing more surface water.Butas the number of houses and cesspools increase the areafrom which suitable water can be collected is reduced.

It is because of these conditions that the proposedZoning Bylaw was presented to the Special Town Meeting for

action on November ninth. It was the fateful night of the

Great Blackout of the Northeast and because so many voters

stayed away we think the town should vote again. The Plan-ning Board is therefore presenting the identical bylaw for

action at the forthcoming Annual Town Meeting in March.Your only hope of controlling the growth of the town and the

taxrate is to adopt this proposed bylaw.

And while the Town is considering zoning bylaws the

creation of new building lots goes on unabated. During the

year three subdivisions were approved under the Subdivision

Control Law containing a total of 93 lots . Twenty of these

were at Forest Ave. and North Main St. , twenty more on anew road off Brewster Rd. in the Ledgewood Estates, andfifty-three on Fair Oaks Lane off Sohier St. As this is beingwritten a preliminary plan for 102 houses on 12,000 sq. ft.

lots has been proposed in Beechwood. This development

162

alone can put 200 more children in our schools.

Thirty more lots were created during the year bydividing land that had frontage on existing streets o Thismeans that the spaces between houses is growing smallerand that our town is rapidly losing the look of a sprawlingcountry town which is the very thing that makes it so attrac-

tive. The need for a properly restrictive zoning bylaw can-not be overstressed.

Again the Planning Board acknowledges with gratitude

the services of the men on its Zoning Advisory Committee,namely: Donald J. Evans, Louis F. Eaton, Jr., Roger B.Coulter, David E. Place, and Raymond G. Buckley. Wealso wish to thank the other boards and officers of the townfor their continued support and cooperation.

Very truly yours,

ALBERT HABERSTROH, Chairman

Cohasset Planning Board

REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE

The Committee has met regularly on the secondThursday of each month to attend Personnel needs

»

Committee recommendations to the Town Meetingof March 1965 proposed the Town to give a 4% pay increaseto regular full time hired employees , and further to increasethe allowable paid sick leave from 90 to 120 days. Thetownspeople approved of these recommendations by vote.

At theendof 1964 the pay grade of most of Cohasset^semployees was slightly above the average of the surroundingtowns. (Hull, Hingham, Scituate, Weymouth, Rockland,Norwell, Hanover, and Marshfield.)

It is the hope of this Committee that the above in-

dicated 4% raise will be sufficient to allow Cohasset to retain

its reasonable pay position.

We thank all townspeople for their cooperation in

operations of this Committee.
