SELECTMEN FOR THE YEAR 1952 It was most refreshing to receive the following copy of the Board of Selectmen's Report for the year 1853, just one hundred years ago: "As Selectmen by law are required to relate To their Town every year, the condition and state Of all Guide Posts erected, or standing around, Or forfeit ten dollars, for the use of the Town: Your Selectmen of Barnstable, the fine to escape, Present their report, in versified shape; And ask your attention, while they state the facts Respecting their work, and the cost you are tax'd. Two new Guide-Posts are erected, one, near the hill, To the east of the stream which carries the mill Of a Mr. Hinckley, who made ne'er a touse, Tho' the Board was put up at the front of his house. The other, your Clerk requested should stand In the crotch of three roads, at the north of his land; His request was complied with, and quiet restored, And in Centerville, now, they are pleased with the Board. And then, as it regards other parts of our Town, Such repairs as were needed to Guide-Posts, all 'round, We applied in good time, and the cost was as follows: (Amounting in all) near the sum of twelve dollars. Our posts in good standing, the boards by the way, All lead to the right! so mind what they say; If the letters on some, are a little obscured, There's no trouble in finding the way, be assured. Tho' your Board have done this, and shown the right way, It is feared, that many, will yet go astray, For some are so stubborn, and headstrong beside, 7 Good advice and discretion, they'll scout and deride. For the facts 'no,,d�presented, your,indulgence '`we "court, And respectfully submit this Annual Report." Daniel Basset, Chairman Barnstable, Feb'y 1853 How times have changed in 100 years. Apparently in those days the chief if not the only, duty of the Select- men was to guide the'`traveler' on 'his ,way by erecting guide boards at important crossroads. Today"the duties of the board are so many and varied that a complete report of all they do a's�Selectmen of the town would 'be exceed- ingly voluminous. . Whereas, most. people, are, reasonably, well acquainted with the work.we- do ,as Assessors .they ,have little;real- ization of what we, do.as-Selectmen. Therefore•it might be interesting to outline briefly.some of the powers and duties of a board of Selectmen. . One of our most' important•duties is to 'issue licenses and permits such' as liquor licenses,'permits to'do business in residential areas, auciioneer''s licenses,'Common!Victual- er's licenses, .lodging house licenses,' innholder's licenses, amusement' licenses and licenses to sell automobiles., We issue also shellfish •permits and 'lieense shellfish grants. We grant licenses to' store and 'sell petroleum products, 'to collect and,sell junk, 'for"billiard and pool tables, 'tq' run employment agencies, etc. Upon the Selectmen falls the duty of appointing, many town officers and.fixing :their.salaries within available -ap- propriations. We appoint a Finance_ Committee.,that re- views all proposed expenditures and. makes. its recom- mendations to the town_meeting. We-appoint a Town Coun- sel to care for the town's :legal affairs. The following town officers are also -appointed by us: A Sealer of Weights and Measures, who in addition'to 9 ' checking for accuracy, weighing and measuring devices, also is responsible for seeing that all transient vendors are properly licensed. (A transient, vendor is anyone doing business,in town for.a..period shorter .than twelve months in any.,year.) A' Shellfish Warden who enforces th'e shellfish laws and has, under the Selectmen, general control over the shellfish industry. Police Officers under Civil Service. An Inspector of Buildings who ' has jurisdiction of building construction within our' building code, who is inspector.of public buildings for,safety purposes and who also has largely under_his control .through the issuance of building permits the enforcements of our Zoning By-Laws. We also appoint a Wiring Inspector, a Moth Superin- tendent, a Dog Officer, Beach Superintendents, Harbor Masters, a Forest Warden and many others. The Selectmen also have the important duty of draw- ing up the so-called Jury List from which jurors are chosen by lot to serve on juries in the Superior Court. To be placed on this list citizens of the .town must meet cer- tain age and other requirements,r Naturally it, is our duty to select persons of sound judgment the, type of people we would be content to be tried before ourselves if we had to gio to court. The Selectmen are also charged with the responsibility of making all road layouts, relocations and alterations. In order for a private way to,become a town way it must be "laid out" by the Selectmen, the County Commissioners, or the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. With most local roads the layout has to be made by the Select- men. The,procedure we have to follow of initial notices to abuttors, hearing, making of the layout and plan, filing with'the Town Clerk, acceptance by Town Meeting, filing of the Order of Taking in the Registry and the awarding 9 of damages is lengthly and requires meticulous attention to detail. We have hound it necessary to make some fifty layouts or alterations of,ways. in the past four years. The Selectmen also have jurisdiction over all town properties and facilities not specifically placed in charge of others. For instance we have the control and care of most of the town beaches, landing places, wharves, as well as the buoys and markers used to locate and define the channels into and through our bays. We are responsible for herring runs, parking places, cemeteries, the town's tax title property (property acquired by the town through failure of taxpayers to pay their taxes.) „ The Selectmen constitute an Appeal Board for hear- ing of requests for zoning variances in certain parts of the town. We constitute a Board of Survey for the approval of plot plans 'of land. We are responsible for publishing the town report and for assembling and publishing the warrant for all town meetings as well as all state and national elections. We place most of the town's insurance and set the amounts of bonds -of the Collector, Clerk and Treasurer. We fill by appointment.the majority of vacancies that may occur from time to time. We makes rules and orders concerning traffic and other matters under our jurisdiction. We assess damages when dogs kill, worry or injure fowl,"sheep or livestock 'within the town. Between town meetings we have general oversight of those town,affairs not definitely assigned to others. We have other duties and responsibilities which I have not attempted to outline here but the above gives -a gen- 10 eral idea of the scope and magnitude of the requirements of a Selectman today. During the past few years there has been an increasing amount of state wide agitation for state owned beaches on Cape Cod and elsewhere along the shores of the Com- monwealth. Naturally Cape Codders are opposed .to such absentee control for reasons which are too many and ob- vious to outline here. A County Beach Authority has been suggested by some who seek to circumvent the state beach movement. This, however, recommends itself to our judg- ment only as the better of two evils. Some of the Cape's beaches have been restricted in recent years. Discussion as to the advisability of restrict- ing others, has been much publicized. On good week ends during the summer our beaches on Cape Cod are inade- quate to care for those who want to enjoy them. It is quite natural then for those- who have been turned away or who have of necessity gone to some inferior beach, to feel that the seashore should be open to all and not be monopolized by those who chance to live nearby. The town of Barnstable has recognized this problem for many years. It has consistently sought to increase its beach facilities by the,enlargement of existing beaches and by the acquisition of new-ones. During the past few years we have acquired Dowse's beach in Osterville, Kalufts Park (Dunbar's Point) and a large tract of 100 acres on Sandy Neck. Had more Cape and seashore towns followed a similar procedure there would have been much less de- mand for state beaches today. Although our town already has done a great deal it should do much more to provide additional seashore facili- ties for its residents and visitors, and incidentally to com- bat the menace of state control.'We have at Kalmus Park an undeveloped beach area of several times the potential capacity of Craigville Beach. We should begin at once to provide there adequate bathhouse,parking and restroom 11 accommodations so that this large area may be properly developed. This would take much of the weekend strain off our other beaches.for some time to come and could be done in .,a manner..that would make the entire project self-liquidating over a period of ,years. . We hope the town will vote to make an adequate be- ginning ion this important job at this year's town meeting. Elsewhere,in this book will .be found the report of the Committee appointed at last year's town meeting to study the advisability of establishing .a Department of :Public Works in BarusT.able. The Committee recommends that most of the town's departments doing outside work be placed under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Works, along with most of its buildings and improved lands, excepting, of course, schools and the Airport. (See the Committee's report for more detail.) The Selectmen believe that the town,should carry out the recommendations of the committee in some, form sim- ilar to that suggested by them.. If a capable and efficient superintendent were appointed by the proposed Public Works. Commission the results could not help but be bene- ficial. From the time of the writer's first,election in 1933 until 1949 the more important town officers, with the ex- ception of •the tax collector, were filled year after year by the same men; there were no changes.. In 1949 Selectman and Assessor James F. Kenney retired after finishing eighteen years of excellent service to the town. The next year he was followed into retirement by Chester A. Crocker who had been on the "Board" for some twenty-one years, being,Chairman most of that time. He left behind him a record of. achievement in keeping with the highest tradi- tion of town government. In the year 1953 we are to lose through retirement two more of our "veteran" town officers. 'The "dean" of all 12 Barnstable officials for many years, in ,respect:to length of service, has been our Town Clerk and Treasurer, Clarence M. Chase, who is now completing his thirty-seventh year in those offices. An interesting sidelight is the fact that our coming March election will be the 100th election over which Mr. Chase has presided. Mr. Chase'has a record of faithful, efficient and devoted service to. the people of Barnstable which could well be emulated by all.throughout the state who would serve in similar capacities. He is my' nomination:for the perfect Town Clerk and Treasurer. The town and all :his associates' ,vill greatly miss 'him when he retires•in March.,- Surveyor of Highways, Herbert, L. Thomas, has also announced that he would not be a candidate for,re-election in March 1953. He'has been in charge of our extensive road system for twenty-one years. Having had long experience as a road builder and contractor before becoming Highway Surveyor, Mr. Thomas was ideally trained for his job. The superb condition today of our more than 250 miles of roads attest to the'excellency of the service he has rendered. It is unfortunate for the town that Mr. Thomas' health would not allow him to continue "on the job". In view of his long and efficient service to the town and in further con- sideration of the fact that he could not; by reason of age, come under the benefits of the County'Retirement System,. the Selectmen, feel very strongly that the town should vote Mr. Thomas a..reasonable pension and are taking the neces- sary steps to make it.possible. Mr. Kenney, Mr. Crocker, Mr. Chase and "Mr. Thomas serving more or less concurrently have_given the town a total of almost a century of service. It will be many, many years before another four _men serve Barnstable so well. for so long! VICTOR Y ADAMS, Chairman. 13 REPORT OF ASSESSORS To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: I respectfully submit my Third Annual Report as Chair- man of the Board of Assessors. In 1952 the Town appropriated $1,626,915.10 for Town purposes, $4900. for Veteran's Budgets, $18,755.91 for State Tax and Assessments, and $171,496.30 for County Tax and Assessment, which, plus the overlay for abatements, made a total of $2,005,249.49 that had to be provided for the year 1952. There were receipts against this grand total of $515,596.03, which the assessors estimated would be received from income and corporation taxes, motor vehicle and trail- er excise taxes, licenses, Old Age Assistance, reimburse- ments for Public Welfare from other towns, schools, etc. Also, the town voted to take $163,500.00 from available funds, making the net amount to be raised from taxation $1,326,153.46. The resulting tax rate was $31.80 in 1952. The Town generally has had good healthy growth in the years after World War II. For a comparison, the follow- ing are the total valuations for the years as indicated. 1949 $34,130,200.00 1950 36,798,670.00 1951 39,388,770.00 1952 41,486,520.00 As a comparison of the aforementioned valuations, the :following are the net amounts voted at Town Meetings to -be raised by taxation for the years as listed. 1949 $1,031,422.00 1950 1,111,318.10 1951 1,209,114.48 1952 1,326,153.46 14 � . However, we cannot expect this postwar building in- crease to keep climbing in such proportions as indicated in the aforementioned valuations, and if our 1953 appropria- tions are much higher than 1952, the tax rate must show the greater percentage of this increase. I wish to acknowledge the cooperation of the Board of Assessors for,the past year and the fine assistance from the clerical staff of this office. GEORGE L. CROSS Chairman Board of 'Assessors. 15 r Zw o 00 w -! t .00 00 M 1 C• eD N N Q wad W N M N'00'ti Ncl�O,00 co O M M 00 N Q ?ZU *"! ;R7y M M GV Mr4 tD000�NCD Oi C-00 M lfi lfJ N d rl.'-1 'L— LmM<M cD O�O�OA r ao o o rn Gi O T cnc� M- Ci o O? r1 rl M C- r w O GV M rl e-I m to 00 F.

Adams, Chairman Barnstable, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of 'an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period from February 13, 1951 to August 31, 1952, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, FRANCIS X. LANG, Director of Accounts Mr. Francis X. Lang Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston. Sir: In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period from February 13, 1951, the date of the pre- 66 vious examination, to August 31, 1952,-the following report being submitted thereon: t The books and accounts kept by the accounting officer were examined, checked and compared with the records of the several departments in which money is collected or bills are committed for collection.and with the records of the town treasurer. The general and appropriation accounts in the ledgers were analyzed, the appropriations, loan orders, and trans- fers being compared with the town clerk's record of finan- cial votes passed in town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund. A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on August 31, 1952, was prepared and is appended to this report. The books and accounts of the_town treasurer were ex- amined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed, the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the de- partmental records of payments to the treasurer and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, awhile the records of disbursements were compared with the accounting officer's books and with the treasury warrants. The treasurer's cash balance on August 31, 1952 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with state- ments furnished by the banks of deposit. The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on,file. The savings bank books and 'securities representing the investments of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the disbursements being veri- fied. The records of tax titles and fax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The town 67 and district taxes .transferred to the tax title account were checked by the collector's records, the foreclosures were. verified,the redemptions of tax titles and sales of.tax posses- 1 sions, were checked to the treasurer's,cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and re- conciled with•the .accounting officer's .ledger and compared with the records in the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the,town collector were ex- amined and checked. The•.town .and. district taxes, motor vehicle and, trailer excise.assessments, and departmental accounts outstanding according to the previous examina- tion, ,as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved,the payments to the town and district treasurers were verified, the abatements were checked to the records in the departments authorized to grant abatements, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved with the account- ing officer's ledger. . Verification of the correctness of the outstanding ac- counts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town and the districts, and from the replies received it ap- pears that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The town clerk's records of dog, sporting, and miscel- laneous town licenses issued were examined, the payments to the State being verified by comparison with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being com- pared with the treasurer's cash book. The books and accounts of the treasurer of the Dis- trict Department of,Veteran's Services were examined and checked. The amounts received for the expenses of the dis- trict from the towns comprising the district were verified. The payments were compared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse district funds, and the cash balance on August 31, 1952 was. proved by reconciliation of the bank balance, with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit. The financial records of the ,selectmen, the sealer of 68 weights and measures; and of the police, health, and school departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town, were examined and checked with the treasurer's cash receipts and with the, records of the ac- counting officer. The surety bonds of the town officials bonded for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. Appended to this report,in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash ac- counts, summaries of the town and district taxes and assess- ments, tax titles, and departmental accounts, together with tables showing the condition and transactions of the .trust and investment funds. While engaged in making the audit cooperation was received from all the officials of the town, for which, on be- half of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

It is with-pleasure that I submit the following report for the year 1952: During.the past year several important projects have been completed, namely, the straightening and widening of one of the bad'curves on South County Road;Centerville; the resurfacing of the Centerville Road for a distance of about 1.9 miles and the rebuilding of part of Oak Street under our Chapter 90'p'rogram. Work will start on'Maple Street and Putnam Avenue, Cotuit, as soon as weather permits as the contract has already been awarded to William A..Jones, Inc. of Barnstable. There were three much needed pieces of.drainage built and are now in operation, viz: one.takes care of the Brook- shire Development in Hyannis; one ,draining Dartmouth, Harvard and part of Chase Street; one eliminates a water condition that has existed on Parker Road, Osterville, for a long time. Also several smaller.drainage projects were com- pleted. The following streets were either newly surfaced or re- surfaced in.the various villages: Hyannis Barnstable Road .widening Bassett Lane surfaced, curbed and a sidewalk on one side; Chestnut Street built, curbed and a sidewalk built on one side; Old Harbor Road';Bay Shore Road, Old.Fi"sh Hills Road and Harbor Bluffs Roads were surfaced; Lewis Bay Road, School Street, Pearl Street and a part of Sea Street were resurfaced; North Street Extension was s surfaced. Centerville Crosby Circle was graded and surfaced. Osterville Pine Lane, South Street, Cedar Lane and Oak Ridge 173 Road graded, surfaced and drained; Blanid Road surfaced, some drainage. Prince Bay Road surfaced. Cotuit Grove Street, graded and surfaced about half way; High Street resurfaced part way. West Barnstable Section, of Cedar Street, section of Willow Street graded and surfaced. The Park near the West.Parish Church was cleaned up, graded and seeded. Barnstable Keveney Lane,widened,graded and surfaced. Roads in Common Fields were graded and oiled twice. Our sidewalk work was carried out about as usual with the work distributed as equally as possible among the vari- ous villages in the town. The snow removal problem was complicated by'the ex- ceptionally heavy .snowfall of last February. Thanks to the efforts of several local contractors with their equipment, the efforts of the Highway Department employees and some timely assistance from the State Department of Public Works, I feel that a good job was done in handling this situation. The buildings and equipment, of the department are in excellent condition. One dump truck and one 1942 pickup were replaced. In concluding my report, I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the splendid coopera- tion and help I have received from Officials, Committees and Citizens of the Town of Barnstable during the years that I have served as your Highway Surveyor. *Repairs on Roads and Bridges Labor $70,906.83 Appropriated $138,150.00 Trucks and Tractors . 17,418.09 Resealing 7,724.39 Widening and Patching 6,684.95 v Traffic Signs, Signals & Markers 5,671.05 Salary 5,000.00 Dust Layer 4,000.00 Drainage 2,305.32 174 Street Cleaning 1,948.68 Tools, Equipment 1,936.51 Stone,Gravel,Freight 1,563.02 Office Expenses 1,508.60 Grand Island Bridge 1,178.41 Heat, Light, Power 1,174.01 Beautification 957.50 Sidewalk Repairs 935.52 Fences 131.71 Unclassified 68.44 $131,1.13.03 Balance To Revenue 7,036.97 $138,150.00 $138,150.00 *Snow and Ice Removal Labor $14,223.13 Appropriated $30,000.00 Trucks and Plows used in storms 117433.26 Refunds' 57.84 Salt 1,648.00, Repairs, Trucks and Plows 1,312.90 Tools, Equipment 580.15 Snow Fences 563.87 Sand 192.00 $29,953.31 Balance to Revenue 104.53 $30,057.84 $30,057.84 Respectfully submitted, HERBERT L.

Gentlemen: The Road Committee held its annual meeting on Janu- ary 13, 1953 at the Town garage, Chairman Hay Bruce Reid presiding. At this meeting, the Surveyor of Highways submitted his budget estimates for "Care and Maintenance of High- ways" of the Town of Barnstable for the calendar year 1953. Comparing the amount appropriated for the year 1952, $138,150.00, with the total estimated for the year 1953, $144,650.00, the Committee noted that the item for labor was the sole item indicating an increase. This increase would raise the weekly pay for labor from $52.25 to $57.25. After careful consideration of the estimates for the vari- ous subheads, listed in the 1953 budget, and with a full com- prehension of the balances shown in savings in the 1952 ap- propriations, the Committee voted the approval of the bud- get., An itemized budget, covering miscellaneous articles, was presented to the Committee for its study and action. Full discussion was had by the members, and each article was approved, as noted in attached sheet. Respectfully submitted, MATTHEW BIRTWISTLE Chairman HAY BRUCE REID FRANK THACHER J.

CONANT Road Committee. 176 Report of COMMITTEE FOR,THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS Town 'Office Building Hyannis, Massachusetts January 16, 1953 To the Selectriieri of the Town of Barnstable: Your committee which was appointed under Articles at the annual Town Meeting to investigate the possibilities of the forming of a Department of Public Works in the Town of Barnstable interviewed the following Department representatives: Selectmen, Highway Surveyor, Tree Warden, Moth Superintendent, Airport Commission, Harbormaster, Board of Health, Sewer Commission, Park Commission, Town Engineer. Your committee visited several towns which have estab- lished or are about to establish a Department of Public Works. Your committee was informed by the Departments of Public Works visited that a definite saving in expendi- tures and increased efficiency have been effected since the formation of said Departments. It is our recommendation that a Public Works Depart- ment be established with the Board of Selectmen acting as the Board of Public Works, and further that the duties of the following officers and boards be transferred to the Board of Public Works, namely: The Surveyor of Highways, Park Commissioner, Sewer Commissioner, Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent, and that this board shall also have custody and control of ceme- 177 teries, harbors, beaches, to-An- landings and disposal areas, and shall . have the responsibility for the construction, maintenance and repair of all public builaings and grounds, excepting school buildings' and.grounds; and the buildings and equipment of the Airport, and that all Town Engineer- ing work shall be the responsibility of this board. Respectfully submitted, E. JOSLIN WHITNEY Chairman ARTHUR C. POOLE FRANK W. HORN 178 REPORT- 'OF! THE PLANNING,,BOARD The year 1952 has been a very busy year for the Plan- nina Board. Most of the time spent during the year has been as follows: ZONING$: The Moderator at the 1952 Annual Town Meeting appointed a committee of three to work with the Planning Board to see if a better zoning system_ could be worked out for Hyannis. The committee and the Board worked well together at twenty, or more meetings through- out the year, and an article has been presented to the Selectmen for insertion in the 1953 Warrant. The new zon- ing system reflects the time and thought given it by these committees who kept an eye to the future—the' future de- velopment of the Town and treating all districts equitably. TRAFFIC: The Town Meeting_ of 1952 did not vote favorably on an article inserted by the Planning Board to extend North Street in both directions to connect it to two Main Streets in an attempt to provide a way to divert traffic from Main Street. The Planning Board considers this problem serious and intends working on- it until the problem is solved. BARNSTABLE ROAD: This project has finally been completed after being in the Warrant of three Town Meet- ings. The finished road is all the Planning Board hoped it would be; and the idea of a new road causing improve- ments to abutting properties is checking out. So far, on this short stretch .of road, three businesses are improving their property. Respectfully submitted, JOHN S. LEBEL, Chairman ELIZABETH MELL.ON, Secretary, ROBERT CROSS FRED CONANT WALTER GAFFNEY FRANK HINCKLEY ROBERT HAYDEN 179 REPORT,,OF,BUILDING INSPECTOR January.5, 1952 The Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen The year 1952 shows an increase in the amount of buil- ding construction in the Town of,Barnstable. This increase is due probably to the 'relaxing of the ban on commercial building by the Federal Government, and also the relaxing of the credit controls by the government. There has been a 34%increase-in the total approximate valuation of all permits issued in 1952 over 1951. There has been a 397o increase in the approximate valuation of all house permits issued in 1952 over 1951. The average cost of each dwelling by years.is as follows: 1950 $6,329 1951 $7,344 1952 $9,513 The average.cost of all permits issued by years is as follows: 1950 $5,993 1951 $4,748 1952 $6,075 These increases do not reflect higher prices, because prices were fairly,firm throughout the year and actually softened on some,items; but the increases do reflect a better class of building in•1952. There has been very little specu- lative building, and what speculative building occurred was of a much higher class construction. 180 Below is a list of the total approximate valuations as taken from the building permits for the years 1946 through 1952: 1946 $ 902,095 1947 $1,211,160 1948 $2,550,410 1949 $5,415,740 1950 $4,619,675 1951 $2,184,140 1952 $2,922,325 A total of $803.10 has been collected in building fees for 1952 and turned over to the Town Treasurer.

Respectfully submitted, W. ELLIOTT LEWIS 'Inspector of 'Wires. 183 r Report "'0 TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: I am pleased to report that the general condition of the shade trees of the various villages througout the Town is satisfactory. As this Department has mentioned in a pre- vious report,it is our policy to work in the villages where at- tention is most needed. The cost of doing a thorough prun- ing of all the large'shade trees in any particular area is prohibitive. This year, due to the shortage of skilled help and the increased costs, trimming was done only where it was necessary. .All the dead branches were removed from the shade trees as soon as possible .This work was done along with the annual pruning of trees along the main highways and sidewalks which is carried out each year during the routine work of the Department.. There continues to be a large number of dead trees which have to be removed each year. This year over fifty native trees and eleven roadside shade trees were removed. This does not affect our shade tree population to any great extent because this damage is spread over several hundred miles of roads. During the past year approximately one hun- dred and thirty five new shade trees were planted. These trees were of the hard maple variety which are much better suited to our location. I think as •these trees become more readily available that it will be possible to plant a larger number each year. During the past year the Elm Beetle infestation re- mained about the same throughout the Town. Spraying con- tinued during the life cycles of this insect. These infestations must be watched closely and the possibility of complete con- 184 trol is,doubtful so that,it will be necessary for this Depart- ment to be alerted to the control of serious infestation in the future. The tent caterpillar situation has shown an increase in the outlying sections during the past year. As these insects were increasing it was necessary for this department to do an increased amount of spraying for control. The main roads continue to be comparatively free'of this unsightly web ca- terpillar and I feel 'sure that we will be able to keep this in- sect under control in the future. Two small satin moth outbreaks in two different vil- lages were.taken care of and I feel sure that this will not turn into a serious infestation. The Dutch Elm disease has been put under the moth de- partment so that we may have Federal and State aid'to help in combatting this disease at any time when it may strike our Town. Respectfully submitted, ' JOHN F: SHIELDS Tree Warden 185 'REPORT OF MOTH DEPARTMENT To the Selectmen'of the Town of Barnstable:' The.Dutch Elm disease continues to come .closer to the borders of, this. Town each year and this disease has..been discovered in the neighboring Towns of Falmouth.and Sand- wich during the past year. This makes it almost a certain- ty that the disease will be discovered within our Town dur- ing the coming year:'I am doing everything possible to pre- vent the spread of this disease, but even using the best me- thods so far available it has only been possible to slow up the forward,progress of this disease from town to town. Any noticeable wilting of an.Elm tree should be reported to this Department at once. This cooperation from the citizens will be greatly appreciated in our efforts to control this menace to our Elms. The Gypsy Moth remains well under control in the whole Town. The trapping program was carried out during the entire "season and there vas a slight increase in the num- ber of moths caught. If in any year a serious increase is no- ted in the Gypsy Moth infestations it be advisable to have the area sprayed from the air to eliminate this insect. By this method, known as "spot spraying", it will be possible to keep under control any infested areas in the Town large enough to warrant this type of application. During the fall and winter season when the scouting for egg clusters was carried on up to the first of the year, not a single Gypsy Moth egg cluster was found. The increase in the build-up of the infestation was considered negligable. The Brown Tailed Moth situation remains in a very sa- tisfactory condition. Scouting for this insect is carried out every winter .so that any new colonies can be eliminated. Very little work was done on the wood tick control 186 program during the,past year. -It Js' the opinion 'of this Department that any work for the elimination of the wood tick would have to be done ion a County-wide basis, similar to the air spraying for the cleanup of Gypsy Moths. The con- trol work for the wood tack is being carried out in the areas bordering the, various swimming facilities at the various ponds throughout the Town. Since the poison ivy,control has been turned over to this department it has only been doing experimental work. I have txied out the latest chemicals and, in some cases, have obtained very satisfactory results; but I find that it is usually necessary to follow up this work by additional applications in order to obtain the best results. I think that it will be some time in the future before I could put on ,a satisfactory program for the control of this plant in the whole Town. Respectfully submitted, 'JOHN F. SHIELDS, Moth Superintendent. 187 REPORT OF FOREST FIRE WARDEN Centerville, Mass. January 9, 1953 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable Gentlemen: I herewith submit my third annual report.which is for the year ending December 31, 1952. The Departiueht answered -calls for 70 fires from the following causes: Debris burning 9 Trains 3 Incinerators 11 Picnickers 1 Cutting Torch 4 Automobile 1 Plane Crash 1 Hot Metal 2 Children 5 Hot Ashes 1 Careless Smokers 20 Out of Town 6 Dumps ' 6 The total area burned in the town was approximately 23 acres. We are again glad .to report, a small acreage burned. This was one of the driest years we have experi- enced in many years. Due to the prolonged drought in the spring and again in the fall and the closing of the wood- lands by the Governor's Proclamation an extra burden was put on the patrolmen. With the splendid work done by them and the fine cooperation shown by the public we were able to have a successful year. We were able to acquire 500 red pine seedlings from the State this year and these were planted in the town forest. There were 1819 Permits issued during the year for open air fires. 188 The 1937 Brush Breaker. w;as;replaced with a new up- to-date Chassis and we feel �t will do' a good,job when called upon. I again want to tli"ank aft, th"e}Departments and the general public for their continued cooperation. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES HALLETT, Forest Fire Warden. 189 Report of SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable Gentlemen: I herewith submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1952. During the year I made 120 tests, by trial weighing and measuring, of commodities sold or put up for sale. Of these, 103 were correct, 8 were under and 9 were over the the required weight or measurement. Twenty-six transient vendors were inspected for state and town licenses and eighteen peddlers for peddler's licenses.

From January 1, 1952 to December,,31, 1952 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable'- I hereby submit to -you "my sixth annual report as Shellfish Constable of the Town of Barnstable. The total value of shellfish taken, from waters in the towns is as follows: Clams $ 50.00 Razor Clams 3,950.00 Scallops 1,050.00 Quahogs, 24,476.00 Oysters 1,125.00 $30,651.00 Clams The clam situation in Barnstable Harbor is the same as in 1951, with very little seed showing. There is a small amount in other parts of the town, but the prospects for clams are not very good. Razor Clams There are about six men digging razor clams in Barn- stable Harbor at times, and there is still an ample supply of them. Scallops The scallop season opened October 1, with about four- teen commercial permits issued. All of the scallops were in Lewis Bay, Hyannis. The price ranged from $7.50 to $9.00 a gallon. The season was short—it was all over in about 191 two weeks—as the men were able ,to obtain only about 175 bushels. There is quite a little ,seeed in .Lewis Bay. . . Quahogs The year 1952 was fair for quahogs, and the price a little'*better, with a fair amount of seed coming along. We were unable to transplant any quahogs from the con- taminated area in Hyannis as we found they were in very bad condition to moye�to any—other.area..,.. Oyster's .. . Most of the oysters are taken out of the Centerville River and Bumps River•.and are;for family use. However, an area was opened on the east side ;of North Bay in Oster- ville for commercial use. Propagation and Protection The town employed one man from May 5 to November 1, who picked up or destroyed 22,609 caockels, 1,453 sand collars, and 4,201 horseshoe crabs, all in Barnstable Harbor, and one bushel of starfish and a few bushels of conks in Lewis Bay. I recommend that this work be.continued. Respectfully submitted, CHESTER S. JONES, T Shellfish Constable. '192 REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT January 16, 1953 E. Thomas Murphy, Chairman . Board of Public Welfare .Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Murphy: In submitting the estimated budget appropriations for 1953, I am asking. for the same amount in our Old Age Assistance category as was appropriated in 1952. As an explanation of the Old Age Assistance budget, you will note in the Annual Report that we returned from the Barn- stable appropriation $16,690.36 to the Excess and Deficiency Account. This was brought about by careful distribution of funds in the Federal U. S. Grant during the year, thereby reducing the balance we had in the Federal U. S. Grant at the beginning of the year by approximately $15,000.00, leaving the Barnstable balance to be returned for tax purposes. In the General Relief category I am asking for $10,000.00 less than the appropriation for 1952. In the Dis- ability Assistance program I am asking $14,000.00 for 1953. This is an increase of $4,000.00 over 1952. The total appro- priations asked for in 1953 is $14,800.00 less than the appro- priations of 1952: In our Aid to Dependent Children category I have taken into consideration the balance in our Federal U. S. Grant that are useable funds and am asking. for $8,800.00 less than the appropriation for 1952. In the General Relief category perhaps I am optimistic in believing that we will not encounter any great recession 193 in 1953. We returned $21,215.62 to the Excess and Deficiency Account. This was brought about by the drop in our case load to about one-half of the normal load of past years and the transfer of some cases to the Disability Assistance category. Therefore, I am asking for $10,000.00 less than the 1952 appropriation. The Disability Assistance program presents a different problem. There is no doubt that this new program is on the increase and although we are reimbursed 75% of the money expended, only 30% of the 75% reimbursed are useable funds and these funds are not received at regular intervals as expected. For this reason I am asking for an appropria- tion of $14,000.00 which is $4,000.00 more than in 1952.

All dog bites were investigated and the dogs quaran- tined for the required period. I am happy to report that there were no T.B. reactors among the cattle of the Town during the past year. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT D. CHASE, Animal Inspector. 199 Report of THE BOARD OF HEALTH The year of 1952 with the inexorable passage of time saw several changes. The Board of Health's personnel were saddened by the Town's loss of Lorenzo T. Gifford, who died in September. He had been slaughter inspector for fourteen years and fulfilled his oft-time tiresome tasks with conscientious efficiency. Mr. Alfred A. Fuller was appointed to fulfill his position. The plumbing inspector in consultation with the plumbers, recommended certain changes in the plumbing laws which were carried out by changes in the plumbing regulations. The Dental Clinics continued to pose a difficult finan- cial problem. The problem is not the more easily solved because of the division of authority. The School Depart- ment might be termed the executive branch of the problem and the Board of Health the legislative or more properly the money producing branch. The School Department wants more clinics and the personnel of the clinics want more money. This situation produces the unhappy position of the Board of Health spending more money without satisfying the interested school authorities. The Board of Health in this matter is governed by its consciousness of health prob- lems on the one hand and its responsibilities to the tax- payers on the other hand. The members of the Board of Health unanimously feel that it is not their function on their own authority to put the Town in the dental busi- ness. It seems to us that the town meeting should have this problem before it and a single authority be set up to follow the wishes of the Town. 200 The big news as far as we can see is the method of sanitary -disposal of garbage and refuse which has been put into effect in the past year. The land adjoining the dump was purchased, in addition to several kinds of equip- ment to follow the "sanitary fill method." The land was carefully surveyed as to its extent and topography. A plan was forthcoming from these two surveys; the original trench method was modified somewhat because it seemed economically sensible to fill existing valleys with the same refuse and soil sandwich method rather than to level the whole project and then dig it up again into trenches. This was done for two reasons in order to keep the personnel at a minimum and carry on the necessary daily work, as well as bury the garbage properly and secondly because it does seem a little bit silly to fill up a big hole only to dig it up again. With the foremanship of Mr. Peters who is doing a remarkable job and the cooperation of his able assistant, the dump has been greatly improved. This project has been the object of an article in one of the leading town engineering magazines, the New England Construction Magazine. The Board of Health is indeed fortunate to have loyal, hardworking and interested personnel. Mr. Robert Chase has worked long hours to put over the "Sanitary Fill Method", both before and after the fact. Mrs. Caskin con- tinues to do a yeoman job in the office. Mr. George Churchill has carried the dignity of the plumbing inspector with credit to himself and with good cooperation from the homeowners and plumbers. The restaurant situation is well in hand and we have had excellent cooperation from the people in the laboratory, both in the State and County level. There is a move on foot throughout, the community to use $ourine in the drinking water and at present' the Board of Health feels that much investigation should still be done before this method is given the "go ahead". 201 As always the Board of Health has worked in co- operation with the other towns and the other branches of town government and has received excellent cooperation. The following communicable diseases were reported to the Board of Health: Chicken pox 52 Measles 55 Mumps 12 Whooping cough S German measles 5 Pulmonary Tuberculosis 5 Scarlet Fever 4 Meningitis 2 There were 43 dog bites reported This picture illustrates the new sandwich method of sanitary land'fill, which is now in use at the town disposal grounds. The new Caterpillar combination is shown topping off the area used for dumping the.previous day. Under the clear space in the foreground are four-6 ft. layers of garbage and refuse completely sealed by two feet of earth. REPORT OF PLUMBING AGENT There were 552 Plumbing permits issued during 1952, this being nearly 100 permits more than the previous year. During the past, year we have revised the Plumbing Rules and Regulations, with the approval of the State Board of Plumbing Examiners. 202 FIAT ;FRI ....... ..... V ZOOM lot MAN Vil 203 This revision allows the use of 3 inch copper tubing in the smaller types of buildings. This has been a great saving to the Taxpayer, especially in the remodeling .of the older houses, as it does not require the extensive cutting of the timbers as does the 4 inch cast iron pipe that was formerly used. Once again I would like to thank the other Town De- partments and the Plumbers for their_ cooperation I have received during the past year. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E. CHURCHILL, Plumbing Inspector.

NELSON, D.M.D. . REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION To the Barnstable Board of Health: The District Nursing Association reports a busy year 205 in 1952. Our total number of visits in the town of Barn- stable was 3280; these visits were for various reasons and conditions, the larger number being for bedside care in the home; next in number were visits for health supervision to all age groups, but particularly to infants and pre-school children. Our Well-'child conferences have been held once a month and an annual Eye Clinic for school children was well attended at the Cape Cod Hospital. Other available clinics are the Chest Clinic held once a month at the Cape Cod Hospital and the Crippled Children's Clinic. The Chest Clinic is under the supervision of the Barnstable County Sanatorium and the Crippled Children's Clinic is spon- sored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Patients deeding their care are referred directly to the Chest Clinic and to the Crippled Children's Clinic through the Barnstable County Health Department. We welcome this opportunity to express our apprecia- tion to all other health and welfare agencies in the town for their fine cooperation and understanding. Respectfully submitted, District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis MARGARET J. COOPER, R.N.

BEARSE, Chairman HARRY L. JONES JOHN 0. NILES, M.D., Secretary 207 Report of Barnstable County Health Department Board of Health Hyannis, Mass. I would respectfully submit this brief narrative and summarized statistical report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1952. The year again passed without there being reported to us any cases of preventable communicable diseases with the exception of a few cases of whooping cough. It may be noted that preventive immunizations against this disease are not as effective as they are in such diseases as diph- theria, tetanus and smallpox, and some cases will occur fol- lowing immunizations. However, in the majority of in- stances, these cases are of a mild nature. With the assistance of the nurses working in the schools of the county, we have made a survey of the rate of immunization among children entering school for the first time in September 1952. Information from•twelve of the fifteen towns shows, that in practically all instances, more than 8017o of these children had been immunized prior to entering school. The lowest rate was 71510 and the highest rate 1007o. This indicates that preventive measures against such diseases as diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough have been well carried out. Only one case -of diphtheria has been reported to this department since I became Health Officer six years ago. In contrast to this picture, such non preventable diseases as measles, mumps and chicken pox were epidemic throughout the County during the year. Probably the most prevalent disease in this area, is dental caries or decay. The situation is too well known to 208 most people to warrant much emphasis, but the following table shows the results of dental examinatioxs of school children, aged 7, 10 and 13 in one town of the County and the results might be duplicated for other Towns. Item Age of Children 7 Yrs. 10 Yrs. 13 Yrs. Percentage of Children with Evidence of Decay in Perma- nent Teeth 41% 88% 100% , Percentage of Children with Evidence of Some Successful Operative Dentistry in Per- manent Teeth 3-3% 54% 100701 Percentage of Children in Need of Dental Care at the Time of Examination . 34% 65% 99% Number of, Decayed, Missing and Filled Permanent Teeth per Child 0.7 3.99 8.79 Until recently, there was little that could be done to effectively prevent this disease. Now, however, we have available the results of well conducted experiments indicat- ing the role of the element fluorine in relation to dental decay and the preventive action of this element, when sup- plied in adequate amounts is well established. Three years ago, we instituted a program of prevention by applying fluorine to the teeth of school children. We can expect, some results from these measures, but it would be more effective if the public water supplies were treated with a fluorine compound. Analysis show that only a trace of fluorine is found in our Cape water supplies. If the amount is brought up to about one part per million parts of the water, and children use such water from time of birth, they will ex- perience more than 60% less dental decay by the time they reach the age of thirteen years. At the present time, fluori- dation of the public water supplies is being seriously con- sidered in the towns of Falmouth, Dennis and Harwich. 209 In last year's report, we commented on the health problems created by the so-called chronic diseases. As an educational measure, this department has participated with others in organizing a series of classes for the discussion of nursing care in cases of disease affecting the heart and blood vessels. Attending these classes have been nurses from the two hospitals in the county, private duty nurses and public health nurses. The lack of interest on the part of some of our public health nurses in the Towns of this county, we have found difficult to explain on any reason- able basis. Other routine activities of the department have been carried .out as usual. Every year we seem to encounter additional work in carrying out supervision of our food handling establishments during the summer tourist season, and this year has been no exception. We find that inspection visits and laboratory work have exceeded any previous year.

County Health Officer. 212 Report of BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY Town Office Building Hyannis, Massachusetts January 14, 1953 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: During the year 1952, the Barnstable Housing Autho- rity continued its function of operating the permanent pro- ject on Bearse's Way, in addition to its management of the Airport Housing Project, so called. In view of the fact that the Airport Housing Project has been depreciating rapidly, and is in a generally run- down condition, the Authority has seen fit to put out to bid and dispose of eleven huts. Receipts from rental at the Air Projest have decreased, in spite of constant efforts on the part of the Authority to collect outstanding balances. Maintenance costs at the Project have been gradually be- coming greater than the rent income, even if all rents could be collected. After carefully considering all these facts in regard to the Airport Project, this Authority, acting in its capacity as managers for the Selectmen, believe it would be in the best interests of the Town, from a standpoint of beau- ty as well as economy, to dispose of the Airport Project at the earliest opportunity. At the end of the year 1952, the Authority turned over to the Town of Barnstable the sum of $2,500.00, which was money in excess of expected operating costs, from sale of Quonset Huts at the Airport Project. The permanent Project at Bearse's Way, consisting of forty single units,'at the end of two full years of tenant oc- 213 cupancy, is completed, with the exception of.some landscape work and a few other small items. The permanent Project has had a few vacancies recently, and•the Authority has seen fit to place an advertisement in the local paper, as well as to use other means at its disposal to keep the Project filled to capacity, and on a self-supporting basis. One of the reasons for vacancies was-the low income figure this Authority has had to use in considering. families both for, admission and for continued occupancy. Maintenance is a serious problem at the permanent Pro- ject, and although every effort is made to keep the buil- dings and equipment in top condition, the oil burners and septic tanks have been constantly giving trouble. Two changes took place in the .membership of this Authority during 1952: Frederick T. Jerauld was elected to fill the unexpired term of George C. Campbell who re- signed after having been recalled into the armed services, and Stephen B. O'Brien, Jr. was appointed to replace Wil- liam P. Swift whose term expired. Respectfully submitted, E. JOSLIN WHITNEY, Chairman THOMAS MILNE FREDERICK JERAULD STEPHEN O'BRIEN, JR. LARKIN SWIFT (resigned) 214 Report of THE SEWER COMMISSION To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: We respectfully submit the following report pertain- ing to the Sewer Department. The pumping station has functioned without serious trouble through the past year. Your Commissioners were concerned some with the two electric motors that were in- stalled approximately ten years ago, when they were under an extreme load through the latter part of June to the mid- dle of September. Your Comission recommends that a spare motor be purchased to replace one of the present motors in case of failure. All eight beds now have been completely reconditioned and are in excellent condition. Plans have been completed to construct the two new beds. An estimated 101,000,000 gallons of sewerage was pum- ped to the beds in 1952 according to the report of the Su- perintendent Mr. Ruben Anderson. Ten new connections to the town sewer system have been added in 1952. Respectfully submitted, WALTER R. POND, Chairman ROBERT F. SCUDDER HARVEY J. FIELD, Sr., Secretary. 215 Report of THE BARNSTABLE PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION COMMISSION At the annual town meeting of 1952, the sum of $15,500 was appropriated for recreation in the Town of Barnstable. Through extensive use of our various properties, a compre- hensive schedule of varied programs, financial and advisory assistance to other recreational groups, this commission has endeavored to serve all age groups in a.11.the villages of the town. Thirteen meetings were held during the year and the buildings, beaches, and areas within our jurisdiction were frequently inspected. A sum of $3,000, in the form of a special appropriation, was used for the construction of "Little League Field" on Bearse's Way, Hyannis. The town can look with pride at this development, as it is one of the very finest recreation areas of its kind in New England. The commission wishes to take this opportunity to congratulate the officers and members of the Barnstable Little League both for their part in building this beautiful park and for the magnificent way in which they conducted Little League Baseball in its ini- tial year of operation. We urge everyone to continue their support of this worthwhile community project. During the winter months, the following organized ath- letic leagues were in operation: Sport Age Group Number Teams Volley Ball Men 8 Basketball Junior Boys S Basketball Senior Boys 6 Basketball Girls 4 Basketball Women 4 216 Basketball Men 4 Table Tennis Men 7 In addition, recreational activities of all types were con- ducted in each of the villages. Financial assistance was given to the Little League and to the Cotuit and Barnstable base- ball teams participating in the Cape Cod League, and a four- team baseball league for Senior Boys was operated during the summer. Many children and adults took advantage of our expand- ing Arts& Crafts program at the Hyannis Center,where they learned the techniques of oil painting, decorating, wood- working, jewelry making, ceramics, and other crafts under the supervision of Recreation Director Sidney V. Wright. In spite of its very limited facilities, this building is of great help to the commission. With more adequate space, much more could be accomplished in Arts & Crafts. During the summer, swimming and life-saving instruc- tion was carried on by trained instructors at Kalmus Park, Hathaway's Pond, Joshua's Pond, and Veteran's Memorial Park.A life-guard was provided at Lewis Bay Beach.In addi- tion, instruction and special waterfront programs were con- ducted at practically every beach in the town. Participation in our program of instruction and general attendance at the various beaches, notably at Kalmus Park, has shown an in- crease annually. While on the subject of Kalmus Park, the commission stated in last year's report that it believed the town should start a definite program for the development of this area. With Craigville Beach operating at capacity, along with the limited facilities at the beach at the foot of Sea Street, the• need for further development of recreational areas becomes clear. Therefor, we are asking an appropriation this year in order that this development may be acAnplished in ac- cordance with the detailed plans in our possession. 217 The town acquired 100 acres of land at the Sandy Neck area during 1952 and placed it under the direction of this commission. We are. sponsoring a special article in this year's warrant for its improvement. We, of the Playground and Recreation Commission would like to take this opportunity to thank all the town departments, the churches, and civic and community organi- zations for their wholehearted co-operation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, GERARD C. BESSE, JR., Chairman WILLIAM P. LOVEJOY, Secretary JOHN D. W. BODFISH JAMES H. HALLETT, JR. GUY H. HARRIS CHARLES N. SAVERY REV. CARL F. SCHULTZ 218 BARNSTABLE AIRPORT COMMIS- SION AND AIRPORT MANAGER Barnstable Municipal Airport records 1952 as a busy and productive year. Passenger traffic, the principal service rendered by the airport to the town, increased substantial- ly. And thanks'to the Federal government, the physical con- dition of the airport was notably improved. Your Commission is pleased to report that 1952 saw completion of the repairs and rehabilitation work under- taken with Federal funds to compensate for damage due to military use of the airport during the war. The general contract, by Jones Construction Company ($30,277.), was completed, the work approved by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, and funds for same, which had been advanced by the town, were completely reimbursed by Dec. 31, 1952. The general contract included work on the runways, safety strips, roadways, turfed area, hangar, transformer building, landing lights, and other items. During 1953 .several additional smaller payments to the town will be made to compensate for certain work done sev- eral years ago, and already paid for by the town. These funds will go into the general treasury. The overall figure for the completed Federal rehabilitation and repair project is now $39,176.20. Seeing this project through has meant substantial ex- tra work for the Commission, particularly its chairman, for Manager Sherman, and for our engineer, Clarence W. Post. The airport is now in better shape than ever before. During the year just ended your Commission held 12 regular and 13 special meetings, a total of 25. 219 At the 1952 annual town meeting your Commission again proposed'the'-project of 'relocating administration and landing facilities to a more useful site near the Traffic Cir- cle, a project which would promote, both the safety and efficiency of airport operations. With Federal and State participation this would have cost $220,000, with the town's share, $70,000. The town having declined to embark on this project, the Commission does not "renew 'the request in 1953. It is not certain whether Federal and State aid will again be avail- able, and feels that the improvement, wise and necessary as it appears to the Commission, must await the turn of future events. If air travel to and from Cape Cod's only airline ter- minal continues to increase, safety and efficiency will even- tually compel action. The matter of safety is a grave concern of your Com- mission. In September a delegation of Ridgewood residents brought to it complaints over low flying and noise of planes landing or taking off the NE-SW runway. Conferences were arranged with C. A. A. and Northeast Airline officials, and changes in the flight pattern and flight regulations,have been made which the Commission hopes will ameliorate con- ditions leading to these complaints. The Commission wishes to call attention of citizens to a clause in the agreement between the Federal government and the Town as to airport operation, which reads: "Insofar as it is within its,powers, and reasonably pos- sible, the Town will prevent any use of land either within or outside the boundaries of the Airport, including the con- struction, erection, alteration, or growth, of any structure or other object thereon, which will be a hazard to the lan- ding, taking off, or maneuvering of aircraft at the Airport, or otherwise limit its usefulness as an airport." Since the famous Doolittle Report investigating the 220 situation around Newark Airport stressed particularly the danger of concentration of people within the flight pattern and glide paths of airport runways, your Commission has tried to record its position whenever zoning variances have been requested in such areas surrounding our airport. It has registered its opposition to such variances whenever the type of business proposed, such as open air theatres or motels, would tend to concentrate numbers of people. Your Commission must always put public safety ahead of business expediency. It has no power itself to prevent such new construction outside airport limits; it can only record the facts and reasons for its position; it can do no more. -- -! In April of 1952 your Board of Selectmen enlarged the Airport Commission from three to five members, appoint- ing thereto Mr. H. Heyworth Backus, of Centerville, and Mr. Benjamin W. Atwood, of Hyannis. In December our chairman, Mr. George H. McIlen, Jr., of Hyannis, tendered his resignation, effective the final day of the year, after _having served six and one half years on the Commission. The remaining four members desire to record their ap- preciation of the countless hours of time, the energy and the wise judgement that Mr. Mellen has unselfishly devoted to the municipal airport and its problems. Fortunate the town for citizens with Mr. Mellen's sense of civic duties and re- sponsibilities. Respectfully submitted, Barnstable Airport Commission ' • BENJAMIN W. ATWOOD, Chairman H. HEYWORTH BACKUS DONALD G. TRAYSER KENNETH E. WILSON GEORGE H. MELLEN, JR. Chairman, 1952. 221 BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MANAGER'S ANNUAL REPORT 1952—HYANNIS AIRPORT A total of 30,319 passengers arrived or departed by aircraft at the airport during the year. The increase over 1951 amounted to 2,567 passengers or 9% which is in keep- ing with the Air Transport industries prediction of 8°le for the year. These people were carried by our scheduled air carrier Northeast Airlines, Cape and Island Flight Service, our local operator, and itinerant private and commercial aircraft. Northeast Airlines was the heaviest carrier with a to- tal of 19,275 passengers. 2,046 scheduled flights to Hyannis Airport were completed during the year with each flight authorized to carry Air Mail, Air Parcel Post, Air Express and Air Freight. The flights varied between two per day during the winter and spring to 12 per day on weekends during the summer season. Cape and Island Flight Service, the local fixed base operator, carried 2,168 passengers. This service provides a non-scheduled operation of two flights per day, year-round, to Marthas Vineyard and Nantucket with a basic load of daily newspapers. Passengers and freight are. also carried. Other services provided are special charter and sightseeing flights, student instruction and aerial photography. The com- pany flew 37,500 miles on special charter trips. Itinerant, private and commercial aircraft using the airport in 1952 totaled 2,080 of which 453 were multi engine type. 8,876 passengers arrived or departed aboard these planes. The gasoline sales at the airport increased 91/2 percent with a total revenues increase of 8 percent. Reve- nues from all sources were $14,478.42 which amounted to 55 percent of the total expenditures. The annual increase in traffic noted in this report proves the necessity for maintaining the airport and facili- 222 ties in the best possible condition and at peak efficiency so that future capital expenditures will be held to a minimum, however, it appears that the present facilities will be taxed to the limit in 1953 and that serious thought must be given to a change of location where expansion is possible.

Adams, Barn- stable; Richard B. Taylor, Yarmouth.; Clarence M. Nicker- son, Dennis.. It is with deep regret we are recording in this report the passing of the first Director and Agent, A. Earle Mit- chell who died December 3, 1952. A veteran himself who although ill himself stayed on the job, giving his services to all veterans and continuing to do so until he entered the hos- pital. He will be greatly missed by many and we hope to carry on the work of this office as efficiently as he has, with the foundation he has laid since this office was first opened in April, 1947. As the name of the department implies, we primarily give service to all veterans of all wars including the vete- rans who are being discharged after serving during the Korean Conflict. The Korean veterans who have served since June 27, 1950 are now entitled to most of the benefits which were given to the veterans of World War II, such as, Edu- cation & "On the job Training", Vocational Rehabilitation, Home Loans and Employment Rights and information on any and each of these can be obtained from our office. We service the veterans by helping them complete forms that are needed, answering their questions on any of the Veterans Administration matters as far as we are able. Ezra J. Swift our V. A. Contact Officer from the Dis- trict Office in New Bedford is still in our office at Room 4 in the Town Building in Hyannis on the first and third 225 Thursdays of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. A survey has recently been^made of this itinerary service which we hope may result in more time being spent here by Mr. Swift, as each trip to Hyannis now he has had almost more cases than he can take care of and properly service in the way he feels he should, and we are indeed grateful to him.for the assistance he is continually giving us in giving us a better understanding of the laws for veterans. Mustering Out Pay Forms were also completed for vete- rans already discharged from the service when this law was passed last summer. For the services required for the relief and assistance to veterans and their dependents, we have been fortunate so far that expenses for same have not increased in any greater proportion than that for other categories of Social Welfare. But with the closing of Camp Edwards and the veterans N®ho have been employed there ineligible for Un- employment Compensation, we sincerely hope that employ- ment can be found for them so as not to cause too great a strain on any one. This office is ready at all times to help any veteran of any war. The new Director and Agent Thomas Milne who took over this office January 1 will do his best to aid any veteran whatever his problem may be. If we here do not have the answers we will do our best to get them as prompt- ly as possible. This.office is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. The number now is Room 4 upstairs in the Town Building in Hyannis. Telephone number is Hy. 688, P.O. Box 686. When closed in case of emergency call Mr. Milne.at Tel. Osterville 4836. Respectfully submitted, LILLIAN R. DOANE Deputy Agent 226 REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for the year 1952. During the April term of the Superior Court one case of an appeal from the Board of Appeals was disposed of by agreement approved by the Court. Another similar case more recently brought is pending. Two land damage cases involving the widening of Bassett Lane have been brought. One has been settled and the other is pending. Recently a land damage case has been brought in the Superior Court as a result of the widening of Barnstable Road. In the Octo- ber term a substantial verdict was awarded by the jury as a, result of the taking of land for park purposes on the shore of Wequaquet Lake. Two new cases have been brought al- leging sidewalk or highway defects. None of the previously pending cases in this category have been brought to trail or settled. A great many eviction proceedings in behalf of the Barnstable Housing Authority have been brought in the Dis- trict Court. There are now but a few remaining buildings, of which possession has not been taken under such pro- ceedings in the Quonset Huts area of the airport. This pro- ject was originally undertaken for the emergenev housing of veterans immediately following the close of World War II. It has long since ceased to have much if any use for this purpose. Apparent or intended violations of both the building code and the zoning ordinances have quite frequently been brought to the attention of your town counsel by both the Building Inspector and the Selectmen. These have proved 227 in most instances to have been the result of lack of know- ledge on the part of the individuals involved and -in nearly all cases the individuals themselves when correctly informed have willingly complied with the law. Your Building In- spector and your Selectmen are to be complimented upon their complete understanding, fairness and impartiality with which these ordinances have been 'administered and enforced.. A new 1952 edition of the town's By-Laws has been compiled, edited.and published. The booklet,is fully indexed and sets forth all of the by-laws of the town as amended and in final form up to and including the date of December 31, 1952. As in other years no effort is made to set forth in detail the handling of the usual legal affairs of the Town. Respectfully submitted, KENNETH E. WILSON, Town Counsel 228 REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The following is the annual report concerning the ac- tivities of the Board of Appeals during the year 1952. The undersigned members were appointed by the Board of Selectmen under the provisions of General Laws (Ter. Ed.) Chapter,40 Section 30 to hear and act upon requests for variance under the zoning ordinances of the Town as well as certain other appeals as.provided by the law. During the year 40 applications were heard and deci- ded by this Board. Of this number 16 were granted, 20 were denied, 3 were withdrawn and one referred to the Building Inspector for appropriate action. This Board has imposed certain conditions and restrictions on 7 variances which were granted for the benefit of the village in question. The 40 applications which were processed by this Board arose as follows: Hyannis 22 applications Centerville 11 applications Cotuit 3 applications Barnstable 2 applications Osterville 1 application Hyannisport 1 application The Board of Appeals feels that it should invite the at- tention of the Town to the desirability of having village Civic Associations, if there are any, to make recommenda- tions concerning any application in their respective villages. Centerville has a very active and efficient Civic Association which brings to the attention of its members any application in that village. One advantage of this procedure is that it 229 invites the attention of summer residents who may tempo- rarily be away, to any activity which may affect them. During the year it became necessary for Jean Bearse of Centerville, Edward Kelly of Hyannis and William P. Swift of Barnstable to participate in hearings as alternate members of the Board of Appeals. These services were ren- dered conscientiously, freely and impartially. All applications were processed with the minimum of delay and none remains undecided. DANIEL J. FERN, Chairman GEORGE H. MELLEN JR. CECIL I. GOODSPEED 230 Report of THE PARK COMMISSIONERS At the Annual Town Meeting the sum of $9215.00 was appropriated for the Park Commissioners. We are continuing our policy of permanent improve- ments as well as general maintenance of the various parks, playgrounds and beaches. On the following pages by villages and parks is set forth the various improvements made during the past year and recommendations for the coming year. HYANNIS Ridgewood Park No new equipment was installed this year but we have continued to maintain and care for this area as usual. The children of the neighborhood continue to enjoy the equip- ment we have installed here. Ralph Bismore Park, Ocean Street The rules governing the bulkhead were continued in ef- fect. A slight change in the docking charge was made which as a result produced a revenue of $1377.20 to the town. We recommend the construction of four new finger piers. Eight new maple trees were planted along the new walk, also two flower beds were made and planted this summer. Veterans' Memorial Park (Lewis Bay) A Lifeguard and swimming instructor was employed, and on duty six days a week again this summer in coopera- tion with the Playground and Recreation Commission. The Water Safety Program and Life Saving instruction was conducted for the children. This area continues to be very popular especially for 231 mothers and children. A count made one day this summer showed 625 visitors -using this park. We are again recom- mending that a comfort station be built here as the need is urgent. Park Square We enlarged the existing flower bed and made a new one around the Memorial Boulder which was kept planted with flowers during the summer. A new sign was placed in this Park. Hyannisport Park This area is under a lease to the Hyannisport Civic Association which expires in 1953. CENTERVILLE Memorial Park A new sign was placed in this park and the area was generally maintained. Soldier's Memorial Park . The existing walk was paved and the rest of the area was rebuilt and reseeded. Chester Park A new flower bed was built and planted with flowers throughout the summer. Wequaquet Lake A trash barrel was installed and the rubbish was re- moved at regular intervals. OSTERVILLE Memorial Park The new walk has been paved and two evergreens plant- ed on each side of the memorial boulder. At the junction of Main Street and Parker Road new flower beds were prepared and the Osterville Garden Club planted flowers. 232 MARSTONS MILLS ,Although there are no parks here we are continuing the care of the grassplot where the memorial boulder to World War II Veterans stands. COTUIT Memorial Park The gravel walks were paved and all the flower beds were planted during the summer. Through the generosity-of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney A. Kirkman a large area on the north side of the park was built and seeded. Elizabeth Lowell Park Over 300 yards of top soil was carted in and spread and the whole infield area was rebuilt, fertilized and seeded, also the water line was extended to the center of the field. Lovell's Pond We have continued to improve this area by removing dead trees and stumps, regrading the entrance and making an access road. We have included an item in our budget for the construction of a fence on the north boundary.. WEST BARNSTABLE Crocker Park We have continued to maintain this area as in the past. Sandy Neck We still have the strip of land believed to be forty feet wide running to the beach: West Barnstable.Ball,Field As this, area is under our jurisdiction we are continuing to maintain it. John Jenkins Forestry Wildlife Reservation See attached report. We add the report of Mrs. Fritze and her committee from the Garden Clubs of the Town.' 233 Work on the John Jenkins Wildlife Reservation has gone on slowly and steadily through the year. More jungle was cleared to make a path through the middle of the field under the fine old maples and tupelos. Mr. Theodore Glover and his boys in the Vocational Department of the High School built a circular seat around the base of the oldest maple. In March tiny experimental plantings were made of ar- butus, hepatica,' marsh marigold, pitcher plant, bloodroot, bottle gentian, broom and heather. These survived the hot, dry summer; birdsfoot violets and ladys slipper did not. In the fall seeds of fringed gentian and cardinal flower were sown, bearberry and checkerberry transplanted, and five mountain laurels were put in. One day early in June, through invitation of Mrs. Roger Johnson, members of the Conservation Committees of the . Garden Clubs of southeastern Massachusetts visited the Reservation and planned a yearly trip to watch and help its development. The highlight of that day was walking close to a woodcock on her nest. The Park Commission plans to keep the paths now made mowed and free from briars so that visitors can walk through without ruining stockings though stout shoes will be needed for the wet places. The committee will put markers on trees and shrubs and the less well known plants. The Massachusetts Federation of Garden Clubs at its Fifteenth anniversary meeting in October gave certificates to several men and women in the state working for conser- vation. The certificate to Elizabeth Jenkins reads in part: "Other agencies deserve recognition and receive apprecia- tion—the Town of Barnstable for accepting the Iand and thus insuring its perpetuation as a Reservation, the Barnstable High School Vocational Class and its instructor for the build- ing of seats and bird-feeding stations, and the Garden Clubs of the area. The Hyannis Garden Club, the Osterville Garden 234 Club and the Garden Grubs of Barnstable furnish members to form the Town Committee. The project serves as an in- spiration for practical conservation measures in any com- munity achieved through cooperation of an individual, a town, the schools and the Garden Clubs therein".

Trayser 235 Report of the COMMITTEE ON REPRESENTATIVE. TOWN MEETINGS Hyannis, Massachusetts 29 January 1953 Under Article 91 of last year's town meeting the town voted to have the Moderator appoint a committee to study the advisability of adopting a limited town meeting and re- port back to the 1953"town meeting. Your Moderator ap- pointed a committee consisting of Walcott Ames, Frank L. Horgan, Robert`E French,!"Carl Salo and Walter C. Scud- der. This committee reports as follows: In response to a letter to the Secretary .of the Com- monwealth of Massachusetts a complete list of thirty-four towns giving the dates of their acceptance to this form of town government is attached herewith. There are a total of thirty-four towns now using this form of government and the selectmen of each town was written with the request that they send us a copy of their by-laws pertaining to this type of meeting, a copy of the enabling act given to the town by the state legislature and a request that they give us any information pertaining to same, their opinion of it and how it was working out. We received twenty-two replies, all of which with the excep- tion of two were very favorable to this type of tjown meet- ing. Two felt that it was good but they had a large quorum setup in the original act which was causing trouble particu- larly at special town meetings. Your committee is fully aware of the meiits of the old type of town meeting, and where it can function properly it is a system of local self government which has deservedly 236 called forth genuine praise from students of political insti- tutions. When, then, does it begin to lose its effectiveness? Is not that condition reached whenever the growth of the community produces such a large number of voters that the attendance at the town meetings fail to represent the town as a whole—when the number of participants is necessarily a small percentage of the voting population, and a large per- centage really does not participate either in person or by duly elected representatives? With today's voting strength of 6,600 registered voters it is doubtful if fifteen percent could effectively take part in town meeting deliberations in the present building used for that purpose. It also must be clearly borne in mind that Barnstable is growing very rapidly, so that every year this percentage of possible attendance is being definitely lessened and the meetings are bound to become less and less of a truly repre- sentative character. Which do you prefer—self elected members of your town meeting, or representatives whom you select to carry .on the duties and responsibilities of the town meeting? To your Committee the answer to the question seems clear. We believe it more businesslike, more satisfactory, fairer to all concerned, and far more likely to lead to satis- factory results, to have a definitely organized form of repre- sentative town meeting, where each voter of the town may take part in the choice of the representatives, and the representatives will have the responsibility of .properly conducting the affairs of the town. Actual experience over a period of fifteen years and more has proved that the plan has worked well in other communities and we are .unani- mously in favor of its adoption in the Town of Barnstable. We believe that the time has come to take this step, and we recommend it, with full confidence in its merits. WALCOTT AMES WALTER C. SCUDDER FRANCIS L.

HINKLE RUBEN E. ANDERSON CARL F. SCHULTZ P. GORDON NELSON 242 Report of the School Committee To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The School Committee takes pleasure in submitting its annual report and that of the Superintendent of Schools which follows. As there will be found in this latter report the details regarding increased enrollment, school costs, ' needed additions to our teaching staff and the many other items pertinent to the running of our schools, these mat- ters will not be taken up here, but we earnestly urge all in- terested citizens to .seriously consider this detailed report. The School Committee has met in t-vventy-six regular and special meetings during the year, and sub-commit- tees have met many more times in connection with various school problems in-all the precincts of the town, and, es- pecially, in relation to the planning and, now, the erection of the new Centerville Elementary School. This school, for which- you voted $310,000. at the last annual town meeting, is now well under way in construction and will be comple- ted in mid-summer and ready for occupancy in September 1953. The committee feels that a forward-looking point of view in any case where major construction is co itemplated, is fully justified. We would draw the readers attention to the fact that, in a neighboring town where a modern ele- mentary school was only completed in 1950 this building has already proven inadequate and the voters there• are again being asked for a large sum of money for an absolute- ly necessary addition. Your committee is asking for $35,000. for a survey and plans for an addition to the Barnstable High School. It is, of course, obvious that the increased enrollment which ne- 243 -cessitated'larger facilities in the lower grades'•must, within a very few years, demand greater space in the upper grades. We feel that this is the next most urgent need, a need which must be met in the very near future. At this time the committee would like to express its warm appreciation of the high standard of•work and ex- cellent cooperation of the entire school personnel. We rea- lize that, to keep.up•this.high standard, we must maintain a salary level-at least commensurate with that. of other towns.of our size in population and.valuation, even though this may cause•a .rise,in our general school costs. , 'We -again acknowledge with gratitude the efforts of all those in any way .coniiecte4 with the school depart- ment.to aid us in the task,of running our.,schools and the kindness of all individuals,and.organizations who, by their interest.and help, have increased the efficiency of our sys- tem and the welfare of the pupils in our schools. Respectfully submitted, JAMES F. SHIELDS, JR., Chairman JEAN G. HINgLE RUBEN E. ANDERSON DR. CARL F. SCHULTZ "PMORDON NELSON 244 OVER"VIEW This overview deals primarily with two sriaiters•of con- cern to the citizens,of.the Town of Barnstable. The first:part outlines•our program'-in art education,;,while- the second part is.devoted to a discussion of the building needs, at the Barnstable High School. Part I,is- merely illustrative of what is being done in one phase of education in our school system. We are con- cerned with a great many other phases of education and pupil development. We have chosen to describe only one field of our ,educational .pr.ogram, because this.enables us to outline and illustrate in considerable• detail this one field. In past years, we have selected other fields of learning, and in future years we intend to do likewise. By this procedure, we shall be .able over a period of years to, give a rather comprehensive ''and' detailed picture of what your schools are trying to do. Part II of this overview reveals the urgency of provid- ing additional facilities to meet the steadily increasing en- rollment at the Barnstable High School. The town has been very generous in coping with many of our elementary school problems by providing the addition to the Osterville,School, a new school in Hyannis, and a new school in Centerville which_is now under, construction. Further elementary school needs of .the other villages are being studied. However, the most pressing need at the present time is to provide for the increasing enrollment at the Barnstable'High"School. There- fore, information is included in this report to indicate this urgent need. 245 1 ' art OUP schools Vernon H. Coleman Art Supervisor PHILOSOPHY OF ART EDUCATION Art is an intangible subject. Someone has said, "Art is the expression of the invisible by means of the visible." It is through our thoughts and emotions that we express ourselves upon canvas with the aid of paints and brushes. We create, and to create, we must be able to think. So- called creative art is the expression of emotional reactions peculiar to the manner of.each individual. Of course, if we consider creativeness akin to originality, we are forced to quote Emerson who once said, "If we conceive originality as a spider weaving a web from it's own bowels, then no great man is original." The creative artist must have two types of ability: (a) drawing ability—he must know how to draw; and (b) cre- ative ability. The .student may be skilled in drawing, yet lack the second requisite—that which makes the great ar- tist. But all art is not creative aft. When we use such terms as fine arts, graphic arts, aesthetic arts, space arts, manual arts, commercial art, theatre arts, civic arts, and modern art we can readily understand that art, generally speaking, 246 cannot be placed in one category. Therefore, in developing a well-rounded and broad curriculum in this field, it must be obvious to the layman that certain factors are involved in which one art may, at times, violate• the province of an- other. No particular type of art should be devoted to-a,single grade. Art knows no age limit. A genius at seven may be dis- covered whose work would equal that of a-modern master; but just because he is seven years old we do not insist that he follow a prescribed course. Art is as flexible as all that. It is up to the art supervisor or teacher to discover these exceptions and'develop them accordingly. It is also the duty of the supervisor or teacher to assist all other students less talented, and with these, the approach is different. A dic- tated lesson is helpful. in many instances; a demonstration lesson always helpful. Today there seems to be a revolt against what is known as a "dictated lesson", the theory being that the emotional response of the.pupil is blocked. This is not necessarily so. Rather, such a lesson encourages the boy or girl who has little ability. It helps them to produce something intelli- gible. Children have often been heard to say, "See.! Nov I can draw a tree." While others in the same class, with the same lesson, produce a tree in their- own inimitable way that, in no respect, resembles the tree which has been drawn. These pupils are encouraged. One should never say,-"This is the way to draw a tree," but rather, "This is the way we -may draw a tree—now, you make_your own trees." The academic school of art believes in a rigid course in drawing and painting, taking its subject matter mostly from nature. The modern school says it is not in the prov- ince of art to imitate nature—that is merely a craft. You may get your emotional response from nature, but never copy it; the camera can do a much better job. The modern believes in taking such subject matter as sound, wind, 247 weight, motion etc., which proves, as was said at the begin- ning, art is an intangible subject. Art does not .progress—it changes. Michelangelo pain- ted figures that no artist could improve upon today. Picas-' so is considered a great modern. Study his treatment of fig- ures, (he can paint beautifully in a representative, way, too,) and you will agree that art does not progress, but it certainly changes. While art is one of the most important factors in life today, many still give it minor consideration, either through ignorance or lack of consideration. Those who entertain such thoughts little realize,that there is nothing made today in which art does not play a very important part. Instruction in art in our schools has been divided into two major classes: (1) A general training for all pupils in our schools regardless of their future professions: (2)' Proper art training for the students who intend to make art their profession, thereby serving a practical. need. Stop - to consider the everyday commonplace things which surround us—bridges, city development, landscaping, clothing, home environment, furniture, ships, automobiles, monuments—to say nothing about the natural world in which we live—and at once one will realize that Design en- circles us and plays a major role in our.existence. It is unimportant whether you can draw' a straight line or not. Many•of us can't. Did you know that less than gone'per cent of us becomes artists? But all of us can be appreciative of art and become art consumers. Art Education offers courses of practical value. Such subjects as design and color are taught to help us live better by applying art theories to our daily living in the home, dress, and appreciation of our' cultural heritage. 248 THE ART CURRICULUM • GENERAL ART COURSE SPECIALIZED TRAINING FOR.

First and second grade children in the West Barnstable School Proudly behind designs of their own creation. The designs are made of wooden pegs it is wise to have one large subject in our picture bal- anced by smaller objects rather than fill the paper with too many points of interest. Gradually the pupil begins to assi- milate these basic elements and it is not long before credita- ble work is produced. Water color is a difficult medium to control. Good water color painters are few and far between. however, once the student gets the `feel' of water color, he loves it. Surprising as it may seem, obstacles mean nothing to the ambitious young painter. He is happy and paints away to his heart's content. 251 v0�:�_. ,v rm .t , .r. • t F u.r ..:..;:,a.:... � .��.'ditr::-..� :a.....,T,��:�'ai>.::.;,..:f<'..,,1'-e<.. .A::<.:.X,::e:':ss::-��"'�i:':•^:i� Two Centerville fifth grade boys enjoy creative painting in tempera. y > x.

Here•• new fields are open for the student. The wonders of perspective, parallel, angular, and oblique assist them in drawing objects and buildings hitherto beyond the realm of possibility. In these grades, (seven and eight,) they are given the opportunity to develop their skill with craft work. The aim of the seventh'and eighth grade course is to continue to stimulate creative interest in these grades when the early adolescent tends to become discouraged with his creations because of his greater awareness of the world about him. Craft work is. one method used to satisfy this unrest and dissatisfaction in creative work. Mask making, model- ing, and shaping forms from paper and discarded materials of infinite variety stimulates interest because a•reasonable 253 , ..,.."..:... .r.Y <i k z ' ei:-rRE:�z .. 4�f 3 ... .:.: .. ..........mot,; ^u r =^3 R s i .s., ,. :. b. rN j These creative.drawings were made by seventh and eighth grade pupils who expressed themselves in their own original way. In this creative work, proportion is not considered. The pupils, regardless of artistic ability, express themselves through the medium of art. product evolves from this process, and it is evident in form and color. The product, however., is not of greatest impor- tance at this age. The process of group work, cooperation and learning to grow along.with the activity, and still have personal joy and satisfaction in the process, is the aim. Some classes are divided into as many as three,and four groups, each doing a different problem, such as lettering, figure sketching, tempera painting and mask or craft work. 254 In each class, because of heterogeneous grouping, one finds retarded, average and advanced.pupils. Ideally, it is the duty of the art teacher to guide each child according to his or her degree of art ability. ;fir` y A group of six seventh graders pose while the remainder of the class sketch from life. Our belief is that each child should be guided to work -up to his or her capacity and produce work ,of-children at their age level, and, as a child thinks and draws—not as adults would like to have them draw, and judge them by adult standards. From the ninth grade on, art becomes an elective. Pu- pils choose it because they like the subject, and it is during this stage that the ambition for an art career is sometimes born. When it begins to blossom, there is no' one more pleased than the art teacher. He feels that he has had a small share in inspiring the student. Now we pass on to the``age of specialization". In the eleventh and twelfth grades, the student, is fairly well en- trenched. He knows his likes and dislikes and is often super- critical in relation to his work. The student at this stage is 255 Drawings, wash and water color portray trees in a representative manner. This is the work of eleventh grade-pupils. �..

Skills in crafts are developed «rhich can become hobbies or are means to make articles suitable for home use. Some of the crafts studied are block printing, textile painting, lamp and shade making, simple ceramics, favor and party decorating, greeting cards and decorated ware. Our approach is toward the practical and immediate needs of daily living. 262 EVALUATION ' The Art Department'of the Barnstable Schools'is ser- ving the town in many ways. It.has assisted civic groups, churches, the Red Cross, Camp Edwards, the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and individuals in the production of posters, illustrations, favors, maps and scene design for various activities and attractions. x s > 3 .. ...::. The map shown was made by twelfth grade students for-•the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce.

During the holiday season we strive to make all of our schools attractive with outside displays, window_ and class-room decorations. Many of our students have entered state-,wide and local art contests, and have come through with flying' colors by winning first, second .and third prizes in many instances. Among these contests were "Be Kind to Animals", designs for the Town Report Cover, and commercial enterprises such as trade-marks for Cranberry Sauce and Heating-Oil com- panies. One of our students rated first at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts in a statewide test.given to. art stu- dents. Another was selling sport cartoons to a local news- paper while still in the tenth grade. Some of our graduates are following art as a pro- fession. One is now doing murals in a mid-western army camp. Another is a successful commercial artist. Still an- other is applying her art with the Cape Cod Music Circus. 266 While still in high school, students have made their own Christmas cards. Others have had commissions to paint pictures and some are using their skill in drafting rooms. Another is furthering his education to become an art super- visor. ` We have assisted in decorations for school assemblies and Christmas pageants. The music department has aceep- ted our advice on lighting and our assistance on scenery in the production of operettas and in grade school projects. Innumerable certificates 'have' been lettered by us for different school activities. The agricultural department has benefited by our services with'displays made for. Fair Ex- hibition purposes. Some of;these ,exhibits were sent to many different parts of the country.,-,:' Several class rooms in the grade schools have had deco- rations made by the art supervisor, and many teachers have been assisted with sketches and designs to improve their particular program. We have made place cards for the football banquets as well as placards for the field, and'we letter anything that many be requested by the various departments. Students have made charts and-pictures for their bio- logy classes, as well as designs which, are often asked for by the teachers. We have made hundreds of items for Camp Edwards under the auspices of the American Red Cross. In short, the art department has been ready at all times to give its services whenever possible. Occasionally we receive a letter from some outstanding art school which seems to justify our particular,method of teaching. The following quote is from New England School of Art, Boston, Massachusetts: "`May I take this opportu- nity to express something of our appreciation to you? 267 George. tells us that he.received his background training in art from you. We appreciate, as he does, that his ability to fit so well into the program her is due to the excellent foundation laid in his high-school art courses." New methods of teaching are being devised everyday. We try to keep informed regarding these new develop- ments, and include them into our system whenever possible. 0 j The above is a fashion drawing by a high school student in the specialized art course. 268 BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING NEEDS rrederick M. Hodge• Harvard H. Broadbent Melvin C. Knight The most., serious problem facing Barnstable High School .at the present time is an overcrowded condition which will become very acute unless additional classroom space is provided in the very near future. The total enroll- ment on December 31, 1952 was 893 pupils, an increase of 40 over the December 1951 figure'and the largest in the history of the school. A large ,increase .in enrollment has been noted in the elementary schools in recent years. As smaller classes are graduated in the,years ahead of.us and larger classes enter the school, the ,enrollme.nt will increase very rapidly. The following tables show the;enrollment,in the.various grades. Elementary School Enrollment Total As of Dec. 31, 1952. Enrollment Dec. 31, 1952 Grade I 215 247. Grade II 164 178 [ Grade III 207 223 Grade IV 206 '213 Grade V 193 -209 Grade VI 179' 187 Total 1164 1257 Barnstable High School Enrollment Total As of December 31, 1952 Enrollment Dec. 31, 1952 Grade VII 177 186 Grade VIII 177 183 Grade IX 141 146 Grade X 146 154 Grade XI. 102 109 Grade XII 110 115 Total 853 893 269 By moving the various grades up each year, by con- sidering the,likel'y�number,of pupils Who will'drop out of school,.and by studying, the birth-rate in the town, it be- comes quite clear that our present High School facilities will be wholly inadequate in the very near future. While it'is impossible to predict with complete accuracy concerning future enrollments, it does appear that the en- rollments in-future years will'be approximately as follows: 1953-925; 1954 —1000; 1960-1300;- 1963-1500. At the present time, with an enrollment of 853, all rooms in the building are filled to.capacity. We are forced to use the physics laboratory, the typewriting room, the bookkeeping room and the office machines room for study halls and home room purposes. One science class and one Spanish class are housed in a small room over the machine shop in the Iyanough building, which is both inconvenient and unsatisfactory. The cafeteria space is inadequate. When the cafeteria was opened in 1930, there were 576 pupils in the school. While our enrollment has increased by over 300, the size 4 of the cafeteria remains the same. For many years, we. have had to use the cafeteria for study hall purposes—a very unsatisfactory arrangement. We need a room in which to conduct music classes. The only available room for this purpose is the auditorium which is undesirable because of the close proximity of the gymnasiums. The combined auditorium and gymnasium is not an efficient, arrangement. We cannot have dramatics, assem- blies or musical activities while the gymnasium is in use. We have some classes, especially in the seventh and eighth grades, containing 37 pupils, a number much too large for best results. Until additional classrooms are pro- vided, the size of these large classes cannot be reduced. With the anticipated enrollments increasing and no 270 additional classroom space available, it would be necessary to inerease'the size of-classes. Not only are our'elassrooms too small to hold an increased number, but also such an in- crease Would seriously impair the quality of instruction in our school. In summary, it ,can be stated that we lack adequate' classroom and study hall space; facilities for music and dramatics are unsatisfactory; the combined auditorium and gymnasium is inefficient; and the cafeteria, shops and laboratories are inadequate. It is urgently recommended that steps be-taken at once in order that the .educational program of Barnstable High School may not only be kept at its present high level, but also improved in the years to come. Therefore, an article has been included�in the Town Meeting Warrant for 1953 asking for a sum of money for a survey and plans to meet the overcrowded condition which now exists in the Barnstable High School and which will become more serious in the years immediately ahead of us. 271 Report of School Health Department , The,health of the school children, is a good barometer to use in gauging the general health of the community. There -vas a very low percentage of communicable diseases among the school population during the year'1952 and these were 'very mild in character. There was no polio or tuber- culosis reported in this age group throughout the town: Very few children'lost time at school 'due to surgery. The chief causes of absenteeism throughout all of our schools during the year were virus infections and the Com- mon Cold. If the health of• the-adult population were sur- veyed, it would probably show the same results in time lost from business and other professions: It is •hoped that as medical science.has, conquered_other diseases.in time some discovery may be made that will..control the• frequency of these.two infections. In the meantime, the best control that the school advises is .to keep the child.at home at the very beginning of a cold and ,start treatment immediately. It is better for a child to lose one or two days of school than to be present in school feeling uncomfortable and then in the end being forced to lose five or six school days. The Pre-School Clinic was conducted in May, with a total of one hundred sixty-nine pupils with parents atten- ding. Physical appraisal of students in the first, third, seventh and eleventh grades was conducted by the School Physi- cian. The School Physician also examined all bus drivers and athletic teams. All school personnel requiring chest X-rays were X- rayed at Pocasset, in compliance with Chapter 732 of Acts of 1950 General Laws of Massachusetts. Fluoride treatments were administered by the County Hygienists to children in the age group of seven, ten and thirteen. A total of five hundred sixty-four students recei- ved this treatment. 272 The School Dental Clinic, sponsored by the Board of ' Health, was conducted at the Hyannis Elementary School. The following is a summary of work accomplished: Number of clinics conducted 30 Number of dental examinations 412 Number of temporary fillings 126 Number of permanent fillings 380 Number of temporary extractions 17 - Number of permanent extractions 1 Number of treatments 524 The Massachusetts State Vision Test was given to all students in grades one through twelve. A total number of one thousand nine hundred seventy-nine children were tes- ted. There were one hundred three children found to have defective vision and parents were notified-of this condition. The hearing of students in grades one, three, seven and eleven was tested with the Maico Audiometer, and of the eight hundred fifty-eight tested; thirty-eight were found to have defective hearing, and parents were notified. A recent survey of Diphtheria Immunization of children in grade one showed that a total of one hundred ninety-four of the two hundred twenty-one entering.first grade were immunized prior to entering school. This is a splendid demonstration of the part the family physician is playing in the protection of the health of the children in the Town of Barnstable. In concluding this report, we wish to point out again that the School Health Program is a Community Program involving the eo-ordinated efforts of home, school and com- munity resources. The co-operation and interest displayed by the family physicians and all health and welfare agen- cies in the town is resulting in continuous improvement in the health of the school child.

We who have remained at home take the day to day and year to year changes in_ stride. We are scarcely conscious .of what has happened un- less someone or something calls it forcibly to our attention. Since 1945, ,2105 new homes have been built in our town, many of them year 'round. Whole new sections have been added to some, of our villages. More than fifty new roads have been laid out and accepted by the town in the past four years. Several new, stores, and offices have been constructed particularly in Hyannis, considerably extend- ing and improving the business section. Our population has grown so rapidly that it has been necessary to build new elementary schools at Hyannis and Centerville and a new addition at Osterville, and school needs are still only partially met. The past year was typical grid the following would seem to be the highlights of the town activities during 1953. The Centerville School was finished and school opened there last September. Construction of a new bathhouse at Kalmus Park was begun and a new beach will be available to the public this coming season. A road leading to the outside beach was built across the town's recently acquired hundred acres at Sandy Neck opening up that beach area for the first time. The extent to which it was used was a surprise to many who thought that this beach would be little used because of the cold water on the north shore. The town purchased the State Teachers' College prop- 7 erty in Hyannis including the sizeable tract of land south of South Street and a committee is now trying to determine how the town can best use it. This committee will give its report and recommendations to the annual town meeting. It is no doubt wise occasionally for both individuals and municipalities to review their financial situation. It is particularly appropriate that all,of us should be well posted as to our town's finances at this time when we are faced with the potential expenditure of as much as $3,000,000.00 for new schools in the next two or three years. These are the facts we should have in mind, in my opinion. First, we should know how much our town government is costing us both in terms of tax rate and tax bill. Our town tax rate has averaged about $31.00 over the past five years. Including fire district taxes the total 'tax rate has averaged $35.00 or under depending upon which fire dis- trict the taxpayer lived in. Our assessments throughout the town average about forty percent (4017o) of market value. 4jrherefore if you own property fairly worth $10,000.00 your tax bill should be approximately $140.00 during the past few years. I believe that throughout the cities and towns of the Commonwealth, forty percent (40%) of market value would be a fair average for assessments. The average tax rate in Massachusetts over the past five years has been in excess of $50.00 and the average tax bill for a $10,000.00 parcel of property therefore more than $200.00. By com- parison then with most other municipalities we in Barn- stable are most fortunate in the amount of our tax bills. Next we should consider our present indebtedness, both as to amount and the method of repayment. Our total bonded debt as of January 1, 1954 was $638,000.00 This is currently being retired at the rate of $108,000.00 a year. In 1957 the payments will become $82,000.00; in 1959—$70,000.00; in 1960—$20,000AO to con- tinue through 1963 when our present indebtedness will be completely paid up. During this period the state will con- tribute slightly over $164,000A toward our debt repayment 8 (as their contribution to the cost of the Osterville, Hyannis and Centerville Schools). For several years this will be at the annual rate of about $23,800.00. When considering a person's or a town's indebtedness the important factor is not its amount but rather the ability to repay. In Barnstable how quickly could we repay our debt if it were necessary? Without using any of.our re- serves we could repay the entire amount (after deducting the state's $164,000.00 contribution)'in one year by adding about $11.00 to our tax rate. Even then our rate would be substantially less than the state average.. This is a "tip- off" as to our excellent financial condition, actually near the very top in Massachusetts. Next as to the town's reserve or surplus accounts. In our excess and deficiency account we had as of December 31, 1953, $230,320.00. Of this we can use this year only $156,272.00 as certa- fled by the Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation, the remainder being reserved against uncollected taxes. In our Rehabilitation Fund we have an additional $148,993.00. Our Parking Meter Fund _shows a balance of $23,758.00 and our Overlay Surplus $7,210.00. Therefore we have over $300,000.00 which we can use for such purposes as the town may legally vote. With this information as a background it is somewhat easier to decide whether we can afford a maximum .of $3,000,000.00 for a school construction program. We are told that our ,proposed new High School would cost about $2,000,000.00. Apply a total of $200,000.00 from available funds and from this year's tax levy we would have remain- ing annual payments of $90,000.00 on the principal, if we were to repay the balance over a twenty year period. Although our current loans are with one exception at the rate of li/2% the interest charge might be as much as 217o for twenty year bonds. In this case the interest would amount to $36,000.00 the first year and would decrease $1800.00 each year thereafter. Adding interest and deduct- ing the 207o state contribution we would have a first year y payment of $106,600.00 decreasing gradually to $71,806.00 in the twentieth year. t In the terms of tag rate this would mean about $2.40 the first year and graduaily become less each year until in the twentieth year it would be $1.60 based on our present valuation. If we should next year build a consolidated school for Barnstabie-West Barnstable and a new school for Cotuit at a total cost of 000,000.00 our tax rate would probably increase not more than an additional dollar. Therefore for not over $3.40 on the tax rate to begin with and an average increase over a twenty year period of less than $3.00 we can have a new high school, and new elementary schools for Barnstable-West Barnstable and Cotuit. This, of course, does not include the cost of operat- ing and maintaining these new schools. Since our tax rate including' fire district fates, is now almost $20.00 less than the state average, an increase of $3.40 still leaves us far better off than most towns in Massachusetts. Whether or not we need these schools I will leave to your later judgment when you have heard the arguments which will be presented at town meeting grid elsewhere, but it must be obvious from the above discussion that curreiitly at' least, we can afford the pending school coiistruction program. Elsewhere in this book you will find the reports of many of the town's officials and employees. I recommend them to your careful study that you may be better informed of your town's activities. In conclusion I might state that the town has had a good year. In my opinion the various departments have done their respective jobs well and efficiently. The Board of Selectmen have had excellent cooperation from the High- way Department, the Board of Health and all the other town departments during 1953, and we express to everyone our great appreciation. VICTOR F. ADAkS Chairman Board of Selectmen 10 REPORT OF ASSESSORS I respectfully submit my Fourth Annual Report as chairman of the Board of Assessors. The town meeting in 1953 voted to appropriate $1,71.5,755.62 for town purposes, $4,657.00 for veterans' services, $19,216.10 for State tax and assessments and $200,619.48 for County tax and assessments, which, plus the overlay for abatements, made a total of $2,181,354.78 that had to be provided for the year 1953. There were receipts against this grand total of $560,590.97, which the assessors estimated would be received from income and corporation taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise taxes, licenses, Old Age Assistance, reimbursements for Public Welfare from other towns and cities, schools, etc. The town meeting also voted to take $218,300.00 from available funds, making the net amount to be raised from taxation $1,402,298.88—ari_in- crease of $76,145.42 over the previous year. The resulting tax rate was $32.00 for 1953 On the following pages is a copy of the 1953 recapitu- lation sheet as figured by the Board of Assessors. Your at- tention is called to it so that you may better see the com- putation of the tax rate. I do appreciate and acknowledge the co-operation and assistance of the Board of Assessors and the clerical staff of this office. GEORGE L.

Adams, Chairman Barnstable, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town treasurer, town collector and town clerk of the town of Barnstable for the period from September 1, 1952 to March 14, 1953, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, HERMAN B. DINE Director of Accounts Mr Herman B. Dine Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit, of the books and accounts of the town treasurer, town collector and town clerk of the town of Barnstable for the period from 65 September 1, 1952, the date of the previous examination, to March 14, 1953, preparatory to transfer of the books and accounts and of the cash and securities to the newly elected town treasurer and town clerk and the appointed tempo- rary collector; and a recommitment of town and district taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments and departmental accounts .to the temporary collector; and submit the following report thereon: The books and accounts of the town treasurer were- examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and compared,with the. records in the sev- eral departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book additions were verified, and the cash balance on March 14, 1953 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited. The payments made on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securites on file The securities and savings bank books representing the investment of the trust, and investment funds in the cus- tody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions were examined and checked in detail The treasurer's records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The additions to the tax title account were checked with the collector's records, the re- ported redemptions were compared with the receipts as recorded in the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed and reconciled with the accounting offi- cer's ledger and compared with the records in the Registry of Deeds. 66 The records of payroll deductions on account of fed- eral taxes, retirement system, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield were examined and proved to the accounting officer's controlling accounts. The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The amounts outstanding accord- ing to the previous examination and all subsequent com- mitments were audited and proved. The cash books were footed and the reported collections were compared with the payments to the town and district treasurers. The abatements, as recorded, were checked to the records of the departments authorized to grant such credits, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved. The outstanding accounts were verified by mailing no- tices to a number of persons whose name appeared on the books as owing money to the town and the districts, and from the replies received thereto it appears that the ac- counts, as listed, are correct. The total amounts outstanding on town and district taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, and departmental accounts were given to the several depart- ments concerned for use in preparing the recommitments for the temporary collector, and detailed lists of all the outstanding accounts were prepared for the temporary collector. The financial records of the town, clerk were examined and checked. The records of dog and sporting 'licenses is- sued and of receipts from gasoline registrations were ex- amined, and the payments to the State and to the town treasurer were verified. The surety bonds of the newly elected town treasurer and town clerk and of the appointed temporary collector furnished for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. 67 The retiring town treasurer and town clerk is to be commended for the efficient and accurate manner in which his work has been performed during the many years he has been connected with the town. There are appended to this report tables showing a re- conciliation of the treasurer's and. the town collector's cash, summaries of the town and district tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax, tax title and depart- mental accounts, as well as the town clerk's financial. ac- counts, together v7ith tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds. Cooperation was received from all the town officials during the progress of the audit, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

NOTE: In listing these cooperative projects, it is the aim of the Highway Department to show its desire to work "within departments" of the Town to further in- crease efficiency and effect definite savings, and the return to the Highway Department, both in actual labor and valuable assistance on Highway work from all the Town officials and offices has been most gratifying. 206 At the Annual Town Meeting, the sum of $144,650.00 was appropriated for the budget of the Highway 'Depart- inent, and through.the use of comprehensive work schedules and planned labor placement, the department has endeavor- ed to more completely and economically maintain the high- ways and sidewalks in all the villages of the town. As a step in this direction, we have established a sand pit_ on town owned land located-at the Disposal Grounds in Mars- tons Mills, and a definite saving shown principally in the balances of the year's special appropriations can be noticed as a result. Also, a front-end loading machine, valuable for road work, as well as snow removal, has been purchased along with two Gravely cutting machines to further carry out road beautification and roadside brushing activities. Surface drainage is still one of the major problems con- fronting the Highway Department and extensive waterway and basin work is anticipated for the coming year, atang with the use of engineered basin cleaning, particularly. in Hyannis, where it has already proven of great value The Highway Department building and shops have been completely painted.this year, and the equipment and repair shop are in good condition. At this time, we feel our most pressing need is for the addition of t«vo new trucks to bolster our truck fleet, and the acquisition of a new, heavy duty, road grader t-o re- place the present model which is twelve years old. We feel this is a definite necessity at this time A special article in regard to this need has been inserted in the warrant this year for the consideration of the voters. In concluding my report, I wish to take this opportun- ity to express my appreciation for the cooperation and assistance I have received from Officials, Committees and Citizens of the Town of Barnstable during my first year in office as your Highway Surveyor.

Gentlemen: The Road Committee held its annual meeting at the Town Garage on Monday January 11, 1954. Each item of the budget, submitted by the Surveyor of Highways, was carefully analyzed by the Committee, with full explanation being given by the Surveyor. The Committee found the estimates to be in keeping with the increased yearly requirements of this department, and recommends approval thereof. All the miscellaneous articles, except two, were ap- proved by the Committee. Action on the two excepted ar- ticles was not taken, due to insufficient information pertin- ent thereto. Respectfully submitted, MATTHEW BIRTWHISTLE Chairman CHESTER S. JONES J. WENDELL HAMBLIN HAY BRUCE REID FRED D. CONANT ROBERT DOWLING Road Committee 210 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD February 5, 1954 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable:— At the 1953 Annual Town Meeting, the Planning Board recommended to the voters of the Town an amend- ment to the Zoning By-Laws applicable to the Village of Hyannis. This amendment, with additional amendments added from the floor of the meeting, was adopted and be- came effective during the past summer. This change in Hyannis completes another step in establishing a well- 'balanced zoning system throughout the town. The Planning Board has held a number of meetings during the year to act on petitions for variances which had been brought before the Board of Appeals. It is the prac- tice of the Planning Board to inform the Board of Ap- peals in each instance of its position relative to the petition. In order to expedite the work of the Planning Board, two sub-committees were established to deal with specific problems. The Committee on Traffic have held a number of special meetings as a result of which an article relative to one way traffic in Hyannis has been inserted in the war- rant this year. The Committee on Zoning have studied the operation of the present zoning structure to determine its effectiveness in accomplishing its purpose. No recommenda- tions have been made this year for any changes or modi- fication of the Zoning By-Laws. The Planning Board will, however, hold public hearings on those zoning articles which have been inserted in the warrant by individuals or groups. The Committee on Zoning also met with the School Committee to discuss the location of a proposed school in relation to over-all Town planning. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT O'NEIL, Chairman By: J. S. L. 211 Report of BUILDING INSPECTOR The year 1953 has again shown an increase in the num- ber of building permits issued and the total approximate valuation of permits issued. The increase in total valua- tions is $193,375.00 or 14% increase for 1953 over 1952. There were seven permits more issued in 1953 than 1952. De- spite the increase in the total building, there was a decline in the number of permits issued for dwellings, being 24 less than. last year with $200,100.00 less valuation listed for this decline. The difference in totals was made up with a substantial increase in commercial buildings; there being 4 motels for approximately $209,000.00, 5 stores for $341,100.00, a drive in theatre for $100,000.00 also a res- taurant distribution plans, club house, and other non-resi- dential buildings listed below. The average cost of each house permit issued has again shown an increase and now stands at $9675.00 each, and the average value of each permit issued is again larger, being $6,384.00 each. I think this increase reflects better building, larger and more expensive buildings, and better types of construction and does not mean that building costs were higher. Building costs for some items actually were lower than in 1952, but generally prices were firm throughout the year, and the not- ed increases in valuation represents better types of con- struction and very little speculative building. The average cost of each dwelling by years is as follows 1950 $63.29.00 1951 7344.00 1952 9513.00 1953 9675.00 212 The average cost of all permits issued by years is as follows: 1950 $5393.00 1951 4748.00 1952 6075.00 1953 6384.00 Below is a list of the total approximate valuations as taken from the building permits for the years 1946 through 1953. 1946 $ 902,095.00 1947 1,211,160.00 1948 2,550,410.00 1949 5,415,740.00 1950 4,619,675.00 1951 2,184,140.00 1952 2,922,325.00 1953 3,115,700.00 A total of $1,566.25 has been collected and turned over to the Town Treasurer. This includes the fees collected for a four months' period at the new higher rate, which is an average of $229.17 per month as compared with an average of$83.48 per month under the old lesser fee.

ELLIOT LEWIS Inspector of Wires 215 Report of TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: In making my report this year I am especially pleased to report that the large shade trees are in satisfactory con- dition in spite of the arrival of the Dutch Elm disease in the Town. I am making a separate Dutch Elm Disease re- port under the Insect Control Department. In the early part of the year the elm trees in the Village of West Barnstable were given a complete pruning, this work being completed in the early part of the Spring. During the Summer months the trees in the entire Village of Center- ville were cleaned and pruned. This involved a great deal of specialty work including repairs, cavity work and re- shaping of several large trees, thus assuring all possible pro- tection from the infiltration of any disease. I think the physical condition of the trees in the Village of Centerville is better than it has been for the past several years. The trees in the remaining Villages of the Town were thoroughly checked for dead and hanging branches and all possible work was done to put these trees in good condi- tion. During the routine work of the Department, which in- cludes highway and sidewalk clearance, it continues to be necessary to remove a considerable number of trees each year that have died as the result of past injury. This year about eight large trees that were almost completely dead were removed in the Village of Cotuit. This work also in- cluded the removal of several roadside pines which had died, in order to prevent any future damage during storms or high winds. During the spring all of the young shade trees were 216 cleaned around, fertilized and straightened and whatever work that was necessary was done to insure their better growth. During this work,it was necessary to replace several trees that had died in recent years throughout the new plantings. In the exceedingly dry spells which have oc- curred during the past several years, it has been necessary to water some of the recent plantings at least once a week. This work has to be carried on for two or three years until the new tree has established its roots in its new location. The Elm Beetle Infestation remained well under control. I think there was a noticeable decrease in the damage caused by this insect. The trees were protected by spray from the fourth of July until well into August and I hope this control work continues to show the improvement it has. It might well be that the spray put on for other purposes had some effect in reducing the Elm Bettle population. The tent caterpillar infestation showed a good improve- ment over the previous year. This season we knew that there would be considerable tent caterpillar infestation and this Department was ready with spraying equipment to take care of this infestation at the proper time. Two machines were used in this work and I think all of the secondary roads, as well a&the main roads, throughout the Town were very well covered during the past season. If we are not hampered by unseasonable weather during the spraying operation, it is usually possible to keep this insect under control. The two satin moth infestation periods were reduced to one which confines the infestation to one small area and I am sure that this insect can be well controlled. During the year this Department received many re- quests for work and advice and we are pleased to render any service possible within the limits of this Department at any time to our residents. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS Tree Warden 217 Report of the INSECT CONTROL DEPARTMENT To the Selectmen of the 'Town of Barnstable: In my capacity as Insect Control Superintendent I am now supervising expenditures of three different appropria- tions, the reports for which are as follows: Dutch Elm Control The first and most important is the Dutch Elm Disease which has finally infected and necessitated the removal of two trees in the Village of Barnstable. During the early part of the year a survey of the condition of all of the elm trees in the Town of Barnstable was made by this Depart- ment. As the elm tree was largely an imported tree in this area, there is comparatively little wild elm growth here. This wild elm growth has become a major problem in many of the Towns affected by the Dutch Elm Disease and it means expenditures of large sums of money to remove• this hazard to the roadside shade trees. I believe that the resi- dents of the Town of Barnstable can feel assured that the elm trees within this Town will be given every reasonable care during the coming year to prevent the spreading of this disease. Samples were taken from the trees in Barnstable and sent in to the State laboratories for culture and as soon as the report came back, which showed positive infection, the trees were removed immediately and completely destroyed as prescribed by the State Department of Conservation. As the Supervisor of Dutch Elm Control I attend all possible conferences relative to the latest methods for its control. During the coming spring, all of the elm trees in the Town will be given a special double-strength spray for the 218 control of the bark beetle which is the known carrier of the Dutch Elm Disease. This Department would appreciate the cooperation of all persons in the reporting of any noticeable wilting or other injury to any of our elms. Gypsy Moth Control The Gypsy Moth .infestation within the Town has been kept well under control. .During the 1952 trapping season twenty-two female moths were caught in the traps, set up at half mile intervals throughout the entire Town. These areas were marked on a map at the time of positive identification. In the hatching season of 1953, with the Department of Conservation fur- nishing the airplane and this Department furnishing the insecticide, one hundred sixty acres surrounding each of these twenty-tiwo areas were sprayed. This did.insure the elimination of an.), possible moths that hatched in these areas. During the trapping season of 1953, twenty-eight fe- male moths were identified in other areas which have been marked off.for spraying during the hatching season of 1954. In cooperation with the Department of Conservation this work can be done very economically and this Department feels that this program is the best possible means to keep large areas of the Town, or dny part of Cape Cod, from get- ting partially infested by this dangerous and unsightly in- sect. The complete spraying program which was carried out in Barnstable County a few years ago has since been com- pleted in Plymouth County. This year it is hoped that Bris- tol County will be .sprayed as well. It is the plan of the De- partment of Conservation to spray the entire infested areas in NIa.ssachusetts as soon as possible. The local Superinten- dents of all the Towns on the Cape carry this work out in 219 close cooperation and hold monthly meetings to discuss the various means by which the conditions-can be best kept un- der control. Japanese Beetle Control This Department was a special appropriation that was made for the first time at the Town Meeting this year. After a thorough investigation, with the best possible sources, it has been found that it is not possible to get good Japanese Beetle control with plane spraying, the main rea- son being the long period of time during which this insect continues to come out of the ground. However, this program ,vill kill the beetles above the ground at the time of spraying. During the preparation of this early spraying we were assured that this would help a great deal in eliminating the green head fly, the gnat fly, mosquito, wood tick, etc. We engaged the services of a commercial airplane sprayer and after going over the whole of the Town of Barnstable it was decided that the money could be best spent by doing large areas which were known to be infested with the combination of Japanese Beetles and the above mentioned insects. The area that was sprayed included all of the section from Main Street in Hyannis south, including Hyannisport, the marsh areas adjoining Craigville, Osterville and Cotuit and one strip down the inside of Sandy Neck. Checking on the results, we received many .favorable comments on the elimination of wood tick, gnat fly, and mosquito, and it is felt that the program should be continued in the future and expanded to other areas of the Town. Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. SHIELDS Insect Control Superintendent 220 Report of FOREST FIRE WARDEN To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable Gentlemen: I herewith submit my fourth annual report which is for the year ending December 31, 1953. The department answered calls for 63 Grass and Brush fires from the following causes: Cooking fires 1 Incinerators 8 Hot ashes 1 Debris Burning 11 Fire Works 4 Children 17 Hot Carbon 1 Smokers 20 Other calls answered by the department numbered 43 calls for: Out of Town assistance Oil Burners Building fires Lost Persons Vehicles Auto Accidents Dumps Rescue & First Aid We again want to report a very small acreage burned in the town, the total area only 10.2 acres. Due to the quick response of the Patrol and the various fire departments we were able to keep the fires confined to a small area. The department planted 1500 red pine and 500 white pine seedlings in the town forest. Considerable work has been done in pruning the trees and in keeping the equipment of the department in top condition during the winter months. In closing I wish to thank the various departments for their Cooperation this past year. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES HALLETT Forest Fire Warden 221 Report of SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable Gentlemen: I herewith submit my report for the year ending De- cember 31, 1953.

The total value of shellfish taken from waters in the town is as follows: Clams 50.00 Razor. Clams 3250.00 Scallops 5250.00 Quahogs 26265.00 Oysters 840.00 $35,655.00 Clams The clam situation in Barnstable Harbor is the same as in 1952 with very little seed showing.There is a small amount in other parts of the town, but the prospects for clams are not very good. Razor Clams There are about six men digging razor clams in Barns- table Harbor at times, and there is still an ample supply of them. Scallops The scallop season opened October 1, with about thirty commercial permits issued. Most all of the scallops were in Barnstable Harbor. The price ranged from $6.00 to $8.00 a gallon. The season was long—extending through December, 223 and the amount taken to January 1, 1954 was about 1400 bushel. There is quite a little seed in Barnstable Harbor. Quahogs The year 1953 was fair for quahogs, and the price a little better, with a fair amount of seed coming along. The Selectmen opened an area in Lewis Bay for dredging of quahogs, and up to January 1, 1954, the men have taken out almost 1200 bushel—all large. Oysters Most of the oysters are taken out of the Centerville River and Bumps River, and are for family use. Propagation and Protection The town employed one man from May into December who picked or destroyed 19,200 cockels, 862 sand collars, and 2,175 horseshoe crabs. I recommend that this work be continued. Respectfully submitted, CHESTER S. JONES Shellfish Constable 224 Report of INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: A new law requiring the cooking of all garbage to be fed to swine went into effect January 1, 1954. There is an exception to this law which allows anyone to feed raw gar- bage to swine for their own consumption but none of the meat can be sold. The incidence of Contagious Abortion, which causes UnduIant Fever in humans, continued to decline and it is hoped that with the program of free vaccination offered by the State, this disease may be some day wiped out. All dog bites reported were investigated and the dogs quarantined for 14 days, as required by State law. During December, I made the annual inventory. I found 278 cattle, 38 horses, 35 goats, 100 swine and 18 sheep. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT D. CHASE Animal Inspector 225 Report of THE BOARD OF HEALTH The year 1953 saw the full establishment of the Sani- tary-fill System at the Town Disposal Grounds and an in- formal survey of the abutters by the secretary revealed that the odor and smoke had disappeared. The land values in the vicinity of the disposal area have increased according to several qualified observers. The success of this project is due in no small measure to the able work of Mr. Peters and his assistant. The voters in the Town are urged to look the situ- ation over for we feel that they will be pleased., The communicable disease rate was lower than the state average. This year we fortunately had very few tuber- culosis cases. This is in some measure due to chance and may well be correlated with the chest survey work which was done several years ago and is again contemplated in 1954. The new laws governing the care and financial assistance of premature babies will increase the cost to the Town, both from hospitalization charge and the necessary financial and settlement investigations of the parents. Another new law requires the cooking of garbage which is fed to swine. The restaurant situation has been well handled by Mr. Robert Chase, who has undertaken careful investigation of the eating places, in addition to his many other duties. This is a project which calls for continued and .enlightened co- operation from the restaurant owners and although the general picture has been good, a small percentage has given the department considerable trouble. , It is the considered opinion of the Board of Health that 226 investigation be undertaken to arrive at a successful solu- tion of the dental problem in the town. For such an investi- gating committee there should be members of the School Department, the Board of Health and the representatives of the Dental Society. The members of the Board of Health are deeply grate- ful to Mr. Robert D. Chase, Mrs. Anna Caskin, Air. George Churchill,Mr.Alfred A.Fuller, Miss Margaret Cooper, R. N., Dr. Theodore Nelson and their assistants for their untiring and unselfish work in serving the health needs of the com- munity. As in the past, we have had excellent cooperation from the other interested health departments, both at the County and State level. The following communicable diseases were reported to the Board of Health: Chickenpox 31 German Measles 3 Measles 2 Mumps 4 Scarlet Fever 6 Pulmonary Tuberculosis 1 Meningitis 1 There were 48 dog bites reported. REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR The Plumbing situation in the Town of Barnstable is in very good condition. During the past year 2362 plumbing-fixtures were in- stalled in the town, this being more than in previous years. More and more of the older buildings in town are mod- ernizing and installing new plumbing facilities, which is a very good trend. 227 With the coming of Natural gas into Town I would urge all home owners to see that all gas water heaters are prop- erly equipped with safety valves and vents. A call at this office,if you have any doubts to the above, will be promptly taken care of. Again I would like to thank all Town Departments and all the plumbers for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, GE.ORGE E.

NELSON, D.M.D. REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION To the Barnstable Board of Health: The District Nursing Association reports a full program during 1953. Bedside nursing continued at about the same level as in the past few years, medication given by hypo- dermic being quite the order of the day constitutes a large proportion of our calls. We also make calls for health sup- ervision to all age groups but particularly to infants and pre- 229 school children. Our total number of visits in the town of Barnstable this year adds up to 3266. We have had our Well-child conferences each month and in March sponsored our annual Eve clinic for the school children. We do follow-up work for the monthly Chest clinic that the County sanitorium sponsors at the Cape Cod Hos- pital also for the Crippled Childrens clinic held once a month at the hospital and sponsored by the Massachusetts De- partment of Health. These clinics are very helpful to all concerned, without them people would have to travel long distances to get medical advice and treatment such as they have to offer. We have enjoyed our contact with our fellow workers in the field of health and appreciate their fine co-operation. Respectfully submitted, Supervising Nurse District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis MARGARET J. COOPER, R.N. The following licenses were issued in 1953: Bottling (non-alcoholic) 1 Massage 2 Pasteurization 4 Ice Cream 4 Oleomargarine 6 Camp licenses 7 Garbage licenses 9 Kindergarten 9 Methyl alcohol 4 Milk 38 Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM E. BEARSE, Chairman HARRY L. JONES JOHN 0. NILES, M.D., Secretary 230 Report of BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT Board of Health Town of Barnstable This is a brief narrative and summarized statistical re- port of the Barnstable County Health Department activities for the year 1953. There were no extensive epidemics of the ordinary communicable diseases in the County during the year. Of the eleven cases of poliomyelitis reported, only three were permanent residents of the County. A limited supply of gamma globulin to be used in the prevention of the disease was so regulated, that only family contacts of cases under thirty years of age were to be given the inoculations. This regulation was very well observed by both the physicians of the county and the parents of children. The material was distributed from one depot located at the Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis, and a. total of six hundred and eight cubic centi- meters of the material was furnished on the requisition of physicians. We wish to express our appreciation to the hos- pital administration for their assistance. Routine work in the field of sanitation was carried on as usual. Private water supplies were examined in the laboratory on request. Licensed camps in the County were inspected in collaboration with the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Health. In planning our inspections of food handling establish- ments, we have concentrated this year on those which were 231 opening for the first time, those under new ownership, and those whose record was unsatisfactory in the past. The per- formance of a few owners in sanitising their utensils, was so unsatisfactory that letters were sent to Boards of Selectmen requesting that licenses not be issued for the year 1954 un- til some assurance of improvement was given. With changes constantly occurring in scientific know- ledge, and consequent changes in Public Health Practice, the continued training of personnel is very essential. We have endeavored to keep the staff of this Depart- ment as much up to date as possible by group and individual conferences. Our Nursing Educational Director has carried out a plan of training for the nurses employed by the indiv- idual towns. In addition, three nurses attending the schools of Public Health Nursing at Boston University and Simmons College were given field training under the supervision of this department. They worked with the nursing personnel in the towns of Chatham, Falmouth and Sandwich. Two recent graduates of the University of .Massachu- setts were given field training in the field of sanitation dur- ing the summer months. Working with the Division of Maternal and Child Health, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a train- ing program for hard of hearing preschool children was in- stituted during the year. It is the aim of this training to so rehabilitate some of these children that they will be able to attend the regular schools of the County.

County Health Officer 234 REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: I submit herewith the report of the Town Counsel for the year 1953. During the April term of the Superior Court the case of John J. Pendergast vs. the Board of Appeal, which was an appeal from the Board of Appeal's denying the variance for the construction of a commercial bath house at Craig- ville Beach, was heard by the Superior Court. The Court over-ruled the action of the Board of Appeal and granted the variance. An appeal was taken from this decision to the Supreme Judicial Court. Arguments were heard at Boston on February 2, 1954, and it is expected that a de- cision will be rendered within a reasonably short period of time. There is pending before the Superior Court one other appeal of a similar nature. In this case, however, the in- dividual taking such an appeal has not requested a hearing. Two sidewalk injury cases are pending, one in Norfolk County and the other in Barnstable County in the respective Superior Courts. During the year two similar cases were disposed of by settlement for nominal sums. There are several other cases of a similar nature which for want of prosecution have been marked inactive. There are at pres- ent three land damage cases pending in the Superior Court. Cases which were pending last year involving the widening of Bassett Dane and Barnstable Road have been settled and disposed of within the amounts appropriated for damages by the town meeting. During the October term of the Superior Court the land damage case of Elinor W. Hills involving the taking of about 100 acres of land at Sandy Neck was tried. The Court awarded damages in a sub- 235 stantial amount but this amount was far less than that sought by the petitioner. During the year eviction proceedings were concluded in behalf of the Barnstable Housing Authority at the air- port. As in other years no effort is made to set forth in detail the handling of the usual legal affairs of the Town. Respectfully submitted, KENNETH E. WILSON, Town Counsel. 236 Report of BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The Barnstable Housing Authority continued its activi- ties of operating the permanent Project consisting of 40 single units on Bearse's Way, as well as its management of the Airport Housing Project, so-called, during the year 1953. All of the Quonset Huts at the Airport Housing Project have been put out to bid and disposed of by the Authority, and the land has been vacated as a Project . At the end of the year 1953 the Authority turned over to the Town of Barnstable the sum of $1,200.00 from the sale ,of Quonset Huts and materials at the Airport Project, and the balance of the Account will be turned over to the Town as soon as all outstanding expenses have been paid. The permanent Project on Bearse's Way has had some vacancies this past year, with every effort having been made by this Authority to keep the Project filled. The members of this Authority feel that if the admission and continued occupancy limits were raised, the project would not have so many vacancies. The three main causes of service calls to the Project this past year were—cesspools, hot water heaters and heat- ers. Some way of reducing the heavy cost of this maintenance work is being sought by the Authority. Recently a final settlement was reached with the Bond- ing Company for the construction firm which built the Project, and it is hoped that the money obtained will be used for the maintenance of the Px'oject. 237 The past few months have seen a rapid rise in the num- ber of tenants whose rents are in arrears, and every effort is being made to beep these outstanding balances at a mini- mum. One change took place in the membership .of this Au- thority during 1953—Joscph L. Gregory was elected to fill the unexpired term of Larkin Swift who resigned to devote more time to his business. It was with regret that the Auth- ority accepted Mr. Swift's resignation, and a letter of ap- preciation for his untiring efforts and cooperation during his term of office was sent to Mr. Larkin by the Authority. As of December 31, 1953 there were 36 tenants at Pro- ject 200-1 on Bearse's Way, leaving 4 vacancies. The Ad- mission and Continued Occupancy Limits for the Project are $3,650.00 and $3,900.00 respectively,for families with less than three minor dependents, and $3,900.00 and $4,300.00 respectively for families with three or more minor dependents: The average monthly rent for the 22 three- bedroom houses is $41.00 and the average monthly rent for the 18 two-bedroom houses is $42.00 Project 200-1 is the only type of Project operated by this Authority. Respectfully submitted, E. JOSLIN WHITNEY, Chairman TI OMAS MILNE, Secretary FREDERICK T. JERAULD ,Treasurer JOSEPH L. GREGORY, Assistant Treasurer STEPHEN B. O'BRIEN, Jr, Vice Chairman 238 Report of SEWER COMMISSION To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: We respectfully submit the following report pertaining to the Sewer Department. The pumping station has functioned in the past year without serious trouble. The pumps and motors are in good condition and the Bailey Meter for computing the gallons of sewerage pumped was reconditioned: . The eight sewer beds are in good condition and are functioning satisfactorily. The Sewer System was inspected by the Engineering Firm -of Metcalf and Eddy of Boston and found to be in good condition with the exception of the Imhoff Tank. Recommendations of this firm are being followed. An estimated 101,500,000 gallons of sewerage was pumped to the beds in 1953, according to the report of the Superintendent Mr. Ruben Anderson. Six new connections to the town sewer system have been added in 1953. The Board of Commissioners wish to acknowledge the long and faithful service as a Sewer Commissioner, of Harvey J. Field, Sr.,-who during the past year resigned from the Board due to his health. The Town of Barnstable has benefited by his faithful service. H. Lester Sherman was appointed to replace Mr. Field on the Board of Commissioners. Respectfully submitted, WALTER R. POND, Chairman H. LESTER SHERMAN ROBERT F. SCUDDER, Secretary 239` Report of THE BARNSTABLE PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION COMMISSION At the annual town meeting of 1953, the sum of $15,915.00 was appropriated for recreation in the Town of Barnstable. Through extensive use of our various properties, a comprehensive schedule of varied programs and financial and advisory assistance to the recreational groups, this commission has endeavored to serve all age groups in the villages of the town. Twelve meetings were held during the year and the buildings, beaches and areas within our jurisdiction were frequently inspected. During the winter months, the following organized ath- letic leagues were in operation: Sport Age Group Number Teams Volleyball Men 8 Basketball Jr. Boys 6 Basketball Sr. Boys 7 Basketball Girls 4 Basketball Women 4 Table Tennis Men 5 In addition, recreational activities of all types were conducted in the villages. Financial assistance was given the Little League, the Cotuit baseball team participating in the Cape Cod League, and the Barnstable Townies football team. A four-team baseball league for Senior Boys was op- erated during tale summer._ Many children and adults took advantage of our Arts 240 and Crafts program at, the Hyannis Center, where they learned the techniques of oil painting, woodworking, jewel- ry making, ceramics, painting and decorating household articles, and other crafts. During the summer, swimming and lifesaving instruc- tion were carried-on by trained instructors at Kalmus Park, Hathaway's Pond, Joshua's Pond, Levis Bay Beach, Vet- erans Memorial Park, Ropes Beach, Garret's Pond, Run Pond and special lifesaving classes were held at the Craig- ville Beach Association. Participation at the beaches has greatly increased. Con- siderable damage was done at Hathaway's Pond and Kalmus Park due to vandalism and malicious mischief. The newly acquired Sandy Neck area was subjected to constant abuse, being strewn with broken glass, beer cans, and garbage. With the present commission set-up, it is impossible to pro- vide a continuous patrol of 100 acres of Sandy Neck, Hath- away''s Pond and Kalmus Park. Consequently, in an effort to remedy this serious situation, we are asking for funds in this year's budget to provide for special police and main- tainance at these areas. We of the Playground and Recreation Commission would like to take this opportunity to thank all the town departments, the churches, and civic and community or- ganizations for their whole-hearted co-operation during the past,year. Respectfully submitted, GERARD C. BESSE, Jr., Chairman WILLIAM P. LOVEJOY, Secretary JOHN D. W'. BODFISH JAMES H. HALLETT, JR. GUY H. HARRIS CHARLES N. SAVERY REV. CARL F. SCHULTZ 241 Report of DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES Town of Barnstable District Board: Selectmen—Victor F. Adams, Barns- table; Howard B. Monroe, Yarmouth; Clarence M. Nicker- son, Dennis. This being my first year as Agent for the Town of Barnstable, I wish to submit the following report, touching on the phases of opportunities and advantages extended to .the veterans and their dependents of all wars. Hospitalization Hospitalization is one of the most important and neces- sary duties of this office. The veterans of World War I are getting to the age where sickness and infirmities are becom- ing more frequent, which is to be expected as their age in- creases. There have been several from Barnstable this past year who have required this service. Sickness is expensiv,, and whenever possible this office, with the help of the at- tending physician, try to have the veteran entered in the new veterans .Hospital at Davis Park, Providence, Rhode Island, the Boston V.A. Hospital, Jamaica Plain and the last new one to be opened, the V.A. Hospital in Brockton, recently dedicated. Any veteran with a 10% disability or more may ask for admittance at any time. World War I, World War II and Korean veterans are also,eligible for non-service connected treatment providing they are unable to pay for this service and there are beds available. Education World War II veterans have until July 27, 1957, to get will have by July 1956. The Korean veterans are now coming 2,42 home and a great many of them are looking into the many educational opportunities that are offered them. This is a wise move on their part and should be encouraged by the parents. Many of these veterans have 18 months entitlement. The Korean veteran has only two years after discharge or release from active duty to take advantage of this educa- tion. Loans World War II veterans have until July 27, 1957 to get loans from banks with Government Guaranty of loans at 41/2°/, Korean veterans 10 years after discharge, or as may be determined by the President or Congress. This office of Veterans' Services is always ready to help serve in any way it can, those elegible veterans who apply for any of the many other benefits such as, Insurance, Dis- charge Review, Compensation, Pensions, Combat Pay, etc. This office has been very busy the last several months with aiding the veterans of the Korean Conflict in making ap- plication for their Massachusetts State Bonus. In closing I wish to thank the several departments of the Town in cooperating with me and this office on different cases that required their help. I also wish to thank Mr. Philip E. Carey, our State Investigator, Mr. Ezra J. Swift the VA. Contact Representative who is with us in our office the first three Thursdays of each month and Mrs. Lillian Doane, the Deputy Agent, and all others who have given their best in this worth while work for veterans and their dependents. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS MILNE Agent 243 Report of THE PARK COMMISSIONERS At the Annual Town Meeting the sum of $8800.00 was appropriated for the Park Commissioners. On the following pages by villages .and parks is set forth the various improvements made during the past year and recommendations for the coming year. Ralph B. Bismore Park, Ocean Street Four additional post lights were installed making a to- tal of ten for the lighting of the area. The walk along the bulkhead was repaved thru the co- operation of the Highway Department. This may last one year or several but due to cave-ins constant maintenance is required. At last year's Town Meeting $3500.00 was appropriated for four additional finger piers. We are waiting for the State to start construction and hope they will be completed before the summer season of 1954. After this construction is com- pleted, we believe the cause of the cave-ins under the pave- ment should be determined and the proper steps taken to remedy the situation. This area produced a revenue to the town in 1953 from dockage fees, the sum of $1742.10 which was turned into the general fund. Veteran's Memorial Park, Ocean Street The sum of $6500.00 was voted at the Annual Town Meeting for the construction of a Comfort Station. This was completed in time for the summer season. 244 A lifeguard'was employed here and in cooperation with the Playground and Recreation Commission, swimming and life saving instruction was carried on throughout the. sea- son. Due to the sea's erosion, there is a great need for the beach to be restored and other improvements made. We have been assured of funds from the County and the State to do this work providing the Town contributes its share. We have therefore, inserted a special article in the Town Warrant asking for funds for this purpose. Soldiers Memorial, Centerville Chester Park, Centerville At the request of the Centerville Board of Trade, we planted spruce trees in each of these parks which were lighted at Christmas time. Cotuit Memorial Park, Cotuit The flower beds were planted this year with the cooper- ation of members of the Garden Club. The Girl Scouts planted two large spruce trees and one of these was lighted during the Christmas holidays. At the request of numerous residents, we are main- taining the lights on a year round basis. Elizabeth Lowell Ball Field, Cotuit The whole infield has now been seeded and part of the outfield has been top soiled and graded. The base lines have been cut out and rebuilt with a clay base. This area is now a credit to the Town as a ball field. Lovell's Pond Park, Santuit We have built 600 feet of fence on the north side and planted rambling roses along the fence. The area has been cleared and brushed; the road graded; a triangular plot topsoiled and seeded with grass. Due to the increased use of Park Square, Ralph B. Bis- more Park, Veterans Memorial Park and Wequaket Lake 245 Park, rubbish removal service at regular intervals has be- come necessary. The following areas have been maintained as usual: Ridgewood Park Hyannis Park Square Hyannis Memorial Park Centerville Wequaket Lake Park Centerville Memorial Park Osterville World War I Park Osterville World War II Park Marstons Mills Crocker Park W. Barnstable Ball Field W. Barnstable It is interesting to note that in 1940 the expenditures of the Park Commission were $8,699.72 whereas in 1953, the expenditures of this Commission were $8,493.82. Respectfully submitted, FRANCK C. HINCKS, Jr., Chairman CHARLES N. SAVERY HERBERT E. COOK 246 REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT January 14, 1954 To the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare Barnstable, Massachusetts I submit, herewith, the report of the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare for the year ending December 31, 1953. In the past two years a great many changes have taken place in the administration of all categories of assistance brought about by legislature and changes in the rules and regulations governing them. Effective, January 1, 1952, Chapter 801, of the Acts .of 1951, Amended, Section 4 of Chapter 118A and brought into operation the Lien law. This law made it mandatory to place a Lien on all property of Old Age Assistance re- cipients, thereby, providing for a recovery of aid rendered after January 1, 1952, the recipient being allowed a $1,500. exemption from the fair market value at the time of re- covery. If a recipient or applicant for Old Age Assistance refused to allow a Lien to be placed on their interest that they may have in any property, they rendered themselves ineligible for assistance. This was the best piece of legisla- tion passed with regard to our public assistance programs in a long time. My personal opinion is that there should not be any allowance of $1,500. exemption because we have found out in making recoveries this past year, the Town as well as the State and Federal government are still the losers and some undeserving legal legatee benefits. Effective, July 1, 1952, Social Security Act, Title IV, Aid to Dependent Children, was amended to provide for a prompt notice to appropriate law enforcement officials of the furnishing of Aid to Dependent Children in respect of a 247 child who has been deserted or abandoned by a parent. This amendment was long needed to force "lazy husbands" to support their dependents. During the year we had increases in hospital rates. On June 1, 1953 the rate at the Barnstable County Hospital was increased to $70.00 per week from $49.00 per week. On July 1, 1953 the rate at the Tewksbury State Hospital was increased to $24.87 per week from $21.23 per week. The cost of medical services and expensive medicine keeps the cost per case in Old Age Assistance at a very high level. The personnel of the Department for 1953 consisted of the following: Jan. 1, 1953 Dec. 31, 1953 Agent 1 1 Social Workers 2 2 Senior Clerk 1 1 Junior Clerks 2 2 GENERAL RELIEF mM Nm c. cd M Uti ro ��ra cd- m 0,0 o W o° ca; d 6- P� E-.¢' P-d P6 0- Pi W 50 103 99 149 91 48 109 $40,793.30 INFIRMARY (Lombard home) Women Men Inmates at the Home, 1/1/1953 6 7 Inmates admitted during year 3 0 Inmates discharged during year 2 3 Inmates at the Home, 12/31/1953 7 4 Inmates days in Home, 4,051 EXPENDITURES AT THE INFIRMARY Salaries (Superintendent & Matron) $1,999.92 Hay and Grain 393.22 Electric light 251.64 Fuel (coal) 843.64 248 Food 4,185.60 Shoes and clothing 115.21 Telephone 197.49 Repairs and building 506.32 Medical 503.90 Miscellaneous 932.59 $9,929.53 Less Credits 60.85 NET EXPENDITURES $ 9,868.68 General Relief 40,793.30 $50,661.98 Reimbursements by State, Other Towns and Individuals 13,266.73 NET COST TO TOWN $37,395.25 4,051 Inmate days cost per person $2,436 Cost of Administration of General Relief $2,786.21 Cost of Barnstable Settled cases other towns 950.55 $3,736.76 During the year 1952 we made extensive repairs and replacements at the Lombard Home to meet the State Fire Laws. During that year several nursing homes and infirm- aries had been fire traps with a loss of a great many lives. As a precaution against such a thing happening at our In- firmary, we had installed a fire alarm system, emergency lighting for exits, crash bars on all outside doors and the replacement of the old fire escape rope ladders and fire ex- tinguishers. The total cost of these changes- amounted to $1,452.30. This was money well spent and had we not made these improvements in 1952, we would have had to make them in 1953 because in December of 1952, Chapter 111, Section 71-73 of the General Laws, was amended by Chapter 249 602 of the Acts of 1952 and autliorized the Department of Public Health to license town infirmaries. This law became effective January 1, 1953. The law required the inspection of the Infirmary by the State Building Inspector for the De- partment of Public Safety and by an Inspector from the De- partment,of Public Health. This inspection was made by the State Department in June'of 1953 by Inspector M. J. Mc- Nally and the Inspector from the Department of Public Health complimented us on the condition of our Infirmary, especially, with regard to preventive measures which we had - already taken with regard to fire hazards. We received a certificate of approval on June 11, 1953.

Grants and U. S. Grants Administrative are de- ductible from the above amount. Our Old Age Assistance category was very actave throughout the year and although we closed the year with four more cases than we opened it, our total expenditures was less than the previous year. Peo- ple Nvho are prone to criticize welfare programs would do well to watch legislation affecting them as taxpayers and let their representatives know of their opinions before they become a law. For example, at the present time there are many bills pending in the legislature relative to assistance programs . . . one which is asking that the minimum grant for a person living in a family group to be increased from 250 $55.00 to $75.00 and a person living alone that the grant be increased from $75.00 to $85.00. These are minimum grants established by law. If such a law should pass, it would cause an increase at the local level and at the State level due to the fact that the Federal government's reimbursement would remain ,the same regardless of the amount spent. Since their reimbursement at the present time is based upon 507o of $55.00, plus $7.50 per case or $35.00, the State and the local level would have to stand the, whole increase which would mean an increase of $6.66 per person per month if the grant were increased from $55.00 to $75.00, and $3.34 per person per month on an increase from $75.00 to $85.00. I cite the above example to shoe how hard it is to try to estimate budgets for assistance programs which I have to administer according to the law when it is uncertain as to what the expenditures for the year might be and the only figures that we can base them on are our previous year's expenditures.

Grants Administrative are de- ductible from the above amount. In this category of assist- ance one case can make a great deal of difference in the ex- penditures due to the fact that a case may have four or five children in it and budgets have to be increased as the chil- dren reach a higher age group. The case load for the year closed out showing an increase of one case over the pre- 251 vious year, but during the year the fluctuation of the case load with more persons per case and the cost for medical and dental in the young age group accounts for the increase.

Grants Administrative are de- ductible from the above amounts. This type of assistance deals with totally or partially disabled persons most of whom are institutionalized and this accounts for the high expenditures in this category. This is a new category of assistance and has only been in force since November 1, 1951, and money expended for this category of assistance is reimburseable by the Federal and State governments. The Federal reimbursing 5017o; the State 25% and the local Board assuming the other 25% of all monies expended. RECOVERIES During the year recoveries were made in the following categories: Old Age Assistance • $7,414.54 General Relief 129.16 TOTAL $7,603.70 The Department ended the year with the following balances returned to Excess and Deficiency Fund: 252 Old Age Assistance $14,775.02 Aid to Dependent Children 1,297.68 Disability Assistance 4,256.76 General Relief $19,338.02 (McGrotty Fund) 333.58 19,671.60 TOTAL $40,001.06 I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the Honor- able Board of Selectmen, Town Officials and Heads of De- partments, members of the staff of this Department, to the Superintendent and Matron of the Infirmary and to the Police Department and private agencies and individuals for their cooperation and assistance during the year. Respectively submitted, JOHN J. LEVINE, SR. Agent 253 REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The following is the annual report concerning the ac- tivities of the Board of Appeals during the year 1953. The undersigned members were appointed by the Board of Selectmen under the provisions of General Laws (Ter. Ed.) Chap. 40, Sec. 30 to hear and act upon requests for variance under the zoning ordinances of the Town as well as certain others appeals as provided by law. During the year 45 applications were heard and decided by this Board. Of this number 25 were granted, 17 were denied and 3 were withdrawn. The 45 applications which were processed by this Board arose as follows: Hyannis 29 applications Centerville 9 applications Barnstable 1 applications Osterville 6 applications Experience indicates that the number of appeals pro- cessed each year before the Board of Appeals has substan- tially increased, with the prospect of further increase as the Town continues to grow. In 1951, 15 appeals were decided, in 1952, 40 appeals were decided and in 1953, 45 appeals were handled. During the course of the past three years, during which 100 appeals were heard and disposed of, only one case has been carried to the Supreme Judicial Court and this case is still pending at the present time. 254 During the year it became necessary for Jean Bearse of Centerville, Edward Kelly of Hyannis and Dr. Henry B. Hazard of Hyannis to participate in hearings as alternate members of the Board of Appeals. Those services were rendered conscientiously, freely and impartially. All applications were processed with the minimum of delay and no application for the year 1953 remains undecid- ed. DANIEL J. FERN, Chairman GEORGE H. MELLEN JR. CECIL I. GOODSPEED 255 JOHN JENKINS WILDLIFE RESERVATION In his "Natural History of Trees of Eastern North America", Donald Culross Peattie writes of beech trees in their third century of life and growth. What will the Reser- vation be like when the little beeches given us three years ago are 300 years old? Your committee feels some responsi- bility about it. Plantings this year have been of white pines given and set by our Forester, Mr. Stephen Hayes, who last year gave us larches. The sassafras we thought dead sent up new growth from the roots. Arbutus, checkerberry, hepaticas, Marsh Marigolds and cardinal flowers are now established and we look for scattered bloom this spring on spice bush, dogwood and mountain laurel. This last year also friendly flower lovers brought roots of broom, birdsfoot violets, wild columbine, lupin and native mallow. The lupin did not sur- vive July's heat and drought. We shall try again. Bearberry and poverty. grass (golden heather), resent moving too though the last effort shows some promise. Experimental planting of wild orchids resulted in very frail pink. yellow and showl lady's slipper unlikley to appear this spring, but purple and orange fringed orchids sent up sturdy spikes. Thanks to the work of the Park Commission paths are in reasonably good order if walkers wear stout lowheeled shoes. We have a cardinal flower path, a clethra path and a path of Jacks-in-the-pulpit. Opening more paths encouraged birds to build nests near them as if they felt passers gave protection. Three years ago when the trees and shrubs lost their leaves few nests were seen. This year one especially interesting is a redstart's in a bush we must have brushed by many time. 256 Members of the Garden Clubs of southeastern Massa- chusetts again made a June visit to the Reservation. Bird lovers and wild flower lovers came through the summer. We think lovers of wild flowers will find it interesting to add to the variety .of plants and shrubs already established and watch them settle down. The Reservation is very happy to have such gifts. , HATTIE BLOSSOM FRITZE, Chairman ANNABEL J. TRAYSER NEILA V. B. LYON RUTH H. CUMMER ROGER L. LYON LILLIAN FORD PHYLLIS J. BEARSE 257 REPORT OF BARNSTABLE AIRPORT COMMISSION The Barnstable Airport Commission is pleased to report for 1953 another year of increased activity at the Barn- stable Municipal Airport. The increase in Passenger Traffic has been most gratifying, not only because of the resultant benefit to the economy of the community, but also because of the related increase in revenue for the Airport. With an Airport whose total area closely approximates LaGuardia Field, and with a plant that has an estimated replacement cost of about $1,650,000.CO, maintenance and safety are always of prime consideration by your Commis- sion. During the year, the Commission held twelve regular and seven special meetings. • This past fall, we again had complaints of low flying over the Ridge-wood section. A meeting was held, attended by representatives of the affected area, the Selectmen, the Commission, Northeast Airlines, C.A.A. and the Massachu- setts Aeronautics Commission. We are sure, as a result of the splendid cooperative attitude of all concerned, that steps have been taken which, as far as can be foreseen, will correct the situation. During the year it was necessary to enlarge the Admin- istration Building in order to provide more Waiting Room space for passengers using the Airport. The parking ramp for the unloading of airplane passengers was enlarged with the installation of additional floodlights, sidewalks and fences for safety. A Compass Locator Station was installed by C.A.A. with the only cost to the Airport the erection of two poles. Our usual policy .of preventative maintenance has been followed on the grounds and the buildings and this year the fence along Route 28 and one of the hangars were painted. 258 The Commission has been pleased to note that more of our townspeople are visiting the Airport to watch the activ- ity. The observation room over the main waiting room is open to all during normal operating hours, and is an excel- lent point from which to observe the coming and going of local and transient aircraft. We hope more of our residents will visit the Airport. The past year has seen the resignatlon of the two re- maining members ,of the original Airport Commission: Don- ald G. Trayser and Kenneth E. Wilson. For seven years, these two gentlemen, with the former Chairman George E. Mellen, Jr., guided the transition from a military base to a civilian airport. The present Commission recognizes the tremendous amount of.time and the infinite details of plan- .Ming involved in this work, and wishes to congratulate and thank the original Commission for a job well done. Respectfully submitted, Barnstable Airport Commission ARTHUR F. CLARKE, Chairman LOUIS R. ADAMS BENJAMIN W. ATWOOD H. HEYWORTH BACKUS JAMES C. BROPHY HYANNIS AIRPORT BARNSTABLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT MANAGER'S ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1953 Thirty-five thousand, nine hundred and four passengers arrived or departed.by airplane during the year which was an increase -of 5,189 pasengers over the year 1952. The per- centage gain was 1517o which was in keeping with the American Air Transport Association's prediction for the year of 14 percent. Northeast Airlines, our scheduled air carrier, Cape and Islands Flight Service, Inc., our local 259 operator of flight services and itinerant private and com- mercial aircraft handled the passengers. Northeast Airlines were responsible for the heaviest portion of this traffic having transported a-total of 26,105 passengers and completed 1,914 flights to Hyannis Airport. All Northeast flights were authorized by the Civil Aeronau- tics Board to carry passengers, air mail and air express. During the winter months the scheduled flights per day were two with an increase to twelve flights per day during the summer season. Cape and Islands Flight Service, Inc., our local fixed base operator, .carried 1,813 passengers. This service pro- vides a non-scheduled flight operation of two flights per day to the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket carry- ing passengers and freight with a basic load iof newspapers. Total weight of the freight transported was 782,880 pounds. Other services provided by this operator include short sight-seeing trips over the Cape, special charter flights, air- craft rental and student instruction. The Cape Cod School of Aeronautics, Inc. was granted an agreement August 1, 1.953 to operate a flying school and handle the sale of new and used aircraft. Itinerant, private and commercial .aircraft using the airport during the year totaled 1,820 of which 450 were multi-engine type and 1,370 were single engine. Seven thou- sand, nine hundred and eighty-six passengers arrived or de- parted aboard these planes. Sales of aviation gasoline and oil which is handled by the Airport Commission showed a marked gain over the previous year; 125,932 gallons were sold or an increase of 47°/o over 1952. The revenues gain in 1953 from all sources amounted to 3017o over 1952 with a total of $20,296.00. ALTON B.

This sum, $100,000.00 to be raised and appropriated from available funds. The action on the article was as follows: "Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to authorize the Selectmen to purchase from the Common- wealth of Massachusetts the so-called "State Teachers Col- lege" property in Hyannis, and appropriate $25,000.00 from Excess and Deficiency Account and appropriate $75,000.00 from the Rehabilitation Fund for that purpose; the property consisting of the two parcels of land described in this article for municipal purposes; and to instruct the Mod- erator to appoint a committee of five to look into the dis- position of this property and bring its recommendations in- to the next annual town meeting. Property consisting of two parcels described as fol- lows: Parcel 1. Bounded northerly by Main Street about 200 feet; easterly by land of Fraternal Lodge, A. F. & A. M., about 119 ft.; easterly by land of First National Stores about 180 ft., and by land of Nicholas H. and Costas H. Sethares about 17 ft.; easterly by land of Helen C.

At, this same meeting Article 8 asked for an appropria- tion of money for the maintenance of this property. The action this article was as follows: "Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to raise and appropriate the sum of $10,000.00 for the main- tenance of the "State Teachers College Property." Article 9 asking that the Selectmen be authorized to sell at their discretion on the Main Street, frontage of the "State Teachers College" property to a depth of not more than 300 ft., reserving a walkway from Main Street to the remaining land was voted``indefinitely postponed" MAK- ING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE SELECTMEN to dispose of any part of this aforesaid property. In preparation of the purchase of this land and these buildings ENABLING LEGISLATION CHAPTER 623 .of the ACTS of 1953 as follows: 264 "An act authorizing the Transfer by the Common- wealth of Certain Land situated in the Town of Barn- stable to Said Town" . . . description of land as stated above . . . The aforesaid land and buildings shall not be used for other than municipal purposes or for the housing of agencies of the Commonwealth unless spe- cially authorized by the general court." This Act was approved by the general court on July 2, 1953. IT WAS NOT UNTIL January 14, 1954 that the Gov- ernor's Council approved the deed to be given by the Com- monwealth conveying the so-called "State Teachers Col- lege" property to the Town of Barnstable, the authorization of which was passed by the General Court some six months previous. The deed itself was not received by the Selectmen until January 19, 1954 when they went to Boston to receive this document in the Governor's Chambers from the Gov- ernor in return for a check written on the Town of Barn- stable funds for the amount of $100,000.00. Including its initial meeting on January 13, 1954 your committee has held six to consider the problem of disposi- tion of this land and these buildings as given under Article 7. Meetings were held to hear your Board of Selectmen, the Honorable Senator Edward C. Stone, the School Com- mittee, together with its Architect, the Hyannis Board -of Trade, the Town of Barnstable Park Department, the Cape Cod Art Association, the Town of Barnstable Athletic Association, as well as one Public Hearing to provide an opportunity for the voters of the Town of Barnstable to express their views individually. Due to the short period intervening from the date of final transaction to the date of this town meeting your com- mittee therefore recommends: 1. The removal of all portable from buildings immedi- ately west of the BRICK DORMITORY to provide for an extension of the presently owned parking lot at the rear of the Town Building. 265 2. An Entrance and Exit shall be provided on South Street to this new Parking area, but there shall be no new or additional Entrances or Exits on Main Street. 3. Under the advice and approval of the Board of Selectmen consideration be given first, to any department, of the town desiring the above mentioned buildings and second, to any civic organizations that may apply for them. 4. The grounds as described in the deed under Parcel 1, but excepting that portion spoken of in the first recommend- ation above, be developed into a simple beauty spot and recreation area under the jurisdiction and management of the Board of Selectmen. The development of these grounds to include suitable additional lighting, benches, tables, for the comfort and relaxation of our public. This area to be completed and opened to the public on or before July 1, 1954. 5. The buildings formerly occupied by the so-called "'Teachers College of the State" to remain in "Status Quo" until it is absolutely determined that the Maritime Academy definitely will not return to Hyannis. These buildings and all other land in this property be under the maintenance and supervision Hof the Board of Selectmen. 6. The continuance of this same or a similar committee for further deliberation. Respectfully submitted by, WALTER B. CHASE, Chairman JAMES SHIELDS, Vice-Chairman MRS. PALTER D. BAKER DAVID HASCKEL MRS.

The School Committee The above resolutions 'were presented to Miss Sherman at a public reception held in her honor at the Osterville School on,Thursday evening, June 25, 1953. 270 Report of the School Committee To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: May we, as members of the School Committee, herewith submit our annual report and that of the Superintendent of Schools. The School Committee has held thirty-five regular and special meetings during the past year. Members have also met many times on special sub-committees. The giving of this additional time was, in large part, necessitated by the supervision of the erection of the new Centerville School and, during the latter part of the year,by studies being made in connection with the possible erection of a new high school. Although the Centerville School -vas not entirely com- pleted, we were pleased that we were able to hold classes there the first day of school. Open House took place on Arm- istice Day. The enthusiastic admiration of the many visitors was most gratifying. The School Committee wishes especially to express its appreciation for the whole-hearted and un- tiring efforts on the part of the citizens of Centerville and the various organizations to which they belong. The committee would like to emphasize its interest in a farsighted, long term school program.; When the addition was made to the Osterville School, we had probable growth there in mind. The wing was planned for four additional classrooms, two to be completed immediately and the re- mainder of the area to be used as an assembly hall until the enrollment necessitated its use for classroom purposes" Ade- quate assembly facilities will be arranged for in the base- ment. 271 *To properly house next year's enrollment the two additional classrooms must be provided before September. Centerville, seeming to many a large school at present, is planned to meet the village needs for many years. It must be obvious to all that our pressing need now is for a new high school. May we draw your attention to the fact that such a school, although it should undoubtedly be built near Hyan- nis, our largest center, serves the whole town of Barnstable. Your committee is well aware of the lack of ideal conditions in some of the elementary schools but, at this time, earnestly requests your support of this essential project which will serve everyone. We wish to assure you that our goal is to remedy conditions in each village as soon as can reasonably be expected. A detailed analysis of school needs is incorpor- ated in the Report of the Superintendent of Schools. We of the School Committee feel that the Town of Barnstable is extremely fortunate in the high quality of our whole school personnel. To them may we express our warm appreciation for their loyal and efficient cooperation. Respectfully submitted, JEAN G. HINKLE, Chairman RUBEN E. ANDERSON DR. CARL F. SCHULTZ P. GORDON NELSON JOHN E. MARTIN, JR. 272 Barnstable High School Activities This report is divided into several sections of interest to the citizens of the Town of Barnstable: 1—Arithmetic in the Elementary Schools 2—Excerpts from the Reports of the High School Prin- cipal and the Director of the Vocational Trade School 3—The Barnstable School Housing Problem and Recom- mended Solution 4—Statistical data In the past several years it has been our policy to de- scribe various phases of the educational program which your schools are attempting to carry out. This year in Section 1 we have continued this policy and have concentrated on a complete explanation of our pro- gram in arithmetic in the first six grades as prepared by Mr. Harvard H. Broadbent. In Section 2 special items have been.selected that should be of general interest to the citizens of the town. Section 4 includes the usual statistical data required in the annual school report. However, Section 3 of this report is devoted entirely to a survey of the Barnstable School Housing Problem and Recommended Solution. This study was made by the Edu- cational Service Associates of Tufts College headed by Dr. John P. Tilton, Vice President of the College. For several years your attention has been called to the urgency of the high school problem. We hope this,survey will provide a better understanding of the problem and its soiu- 273 tion. The situation is at a point where the problem can no longer be ignored. There is little time to be lost in arriving at a solution to meet the demands of our rapidly increasing enrollment. We believe that the citizens of Barnstable take pride in their schools and that they believe they are providing good schools for their children. The only way to continue good schools is to strive to make them better. If this community is to meet the demands of reasonable educational standards at the high school level, it must act immediately. Too much emphasis can not be placed on this statement. It is a suggestion—a -%va.rning—that must not go unheeded. We hope the citizens of the Town of Barnstable will take heed, will determine a satisfactory solution now, and will recognize the fact that our democratic way of life de- mands an education for all of our children under conditions which are healthy, safe and conducive to good learning. MELVIN C. KNIGHT 274 Arithmetic in the Elementary Schools Harvard H. Broadbent Marked changes have taken place in the teaching of arithmetic in recent years. These changes have come about because of research, a more specific educational psychology, and a rather general agreement among experts in the field as to what and how teachers should teach arithmetic. There- fore, the arithmetic program in our schools is probably very different from the program in effect when the parents of to- day's pupils attended school. The modern school is concerned with the many-sided de- velopment of its pupils; schools of yesteryear, we are often told, emphasized the teaching of the three R's. We very definitely give our pupils a thorough grounding in reading, writing ,and arithmetic. In addition to these fundamentals, however, we believe that a good school system should cer- tainly promote the physical, social, and emotional aspects of a child's development . In recent years the Massachusetts State Department of Education has published Curriculum Guides for the Elem- entary Schools. Our program in arithmetic closely follows the suggestions outlined in these Guides. Two years ago, a committee of teachers consisting of Mrs. Ruth Manthey, Mrs. Myrtle 0' Leary, Mrs. Natalie Parker, Mrs. Edna Sykes, and Miss Regina Murray selected a new series of arithmetic textbooks for the elementary grades. This selection was made only after a careful study of the Massachusetts Curriculm Guides and consultation with eleven of the country's outstanding publishers of arith- metic textbooks. The work of this committee necessarily in- 275 volved the examination and evaluation of the textbooks of these publishers. The teaching of arithmetic begins in the first grade. Here there is no drill on abstract number combinations as few, if any,'cbildren are ready for this type of work. Rather, the emphasis is on the development of number concepts or number meanings. Through actual experiences the pupil is taught to identify, reproduce, and understand numbers. The work of the second grade continues pupil experien- ces with numbers until by the middle of the year some pupils, are ready for a limited amount of abstract drill. This development of understanding before drill is under- taken follows in all grades, as it seems fundamental that.ef- fective learning is best fostered when the pupil understands why and what he is learning. We believe that drill and auto- matic response to various number situations is an important aspect of an arithmetic program, but we also believe that automatic response should be developed only after an un- derstanding on the part of the pupil has been gained. In order to give as concisely and concretely as possible, the arithmetic program in effect in your elementary schools, the following Overview Chart from the Curriculum Guide published by the Massachusetts State Department of Educa- tion is reproduced. This is, in general, the program followed in your elementary schools. 276 OVERVIEW CHART Areas of Growth Number Concept Grade I: Provision through experience for Rational Counting..

Hodge Enrollment Our total enrollment on December 31, 1953 was 906 pupils, the largest in the history of the school. As there are ninety-five pupils in the class who will graduate in June, and 204 pupils in the present sixth grade who will enter the school in September, it is evident that our overcrowded con- dition will be much worse next year. Double sessions in our present building or the housing of the junior high school in antiquated buildings would be very detrimental to the welfare of our pupils. The survey committee has recommend- ed the construction of a new four-year high school and the use of our present building for the junior high school. This recommendation is in my opinion the best solution to our building problem and I hope that the citizens of Barnstable will give it their support. Driver Education In January 1953, a course in Driver Education was made available to seniors. A dual control automobile was pro- vided by Capeway Auto Sales, Inc. The course is made up.of two phases: classroom instruc- tion and dual instruction. The classroom phase, consists of two periods per week devoted to the study of essential and associated subjects such as Massachusetts highway rules and regulations; motor construction, function and mainten- ance; proper mental and emotional attitudes in driving; the cause and avoidance of traffic accidents; and the relation- ships of education, engineering and enforcement in highway safety. The dual instruction consists of an average of eleven 283 hours of behind-the-wheel training and observation for each student, with an instructor approved by the Registry of Motor Vehicles. During 1953 forty-four students successfully completed the requirements of the course and received their licenses after being tested at the Hyannis office of the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Since this course exceeds the minimum requirements as outlined by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles, each student has received a certificate which entitles him to apply for a fifteen percent reduction in his automobile in- surance rate. Driver Education will soon be extended to members of the junior class, and by June 1954 approximately 90 students will have participated in the program. Guidance During the past year, the guidance department has con- ducted at least one interview with each pupil in the school. In many cases several interviews have been necessary to complete solutions of the problems that arose. These interviews have been based on studies made of the pupils through testing and recording former interview in- formation. The topics discussed have been such items as fail- ures in school subjects, occupational information, school and college information, scholarship aid, personal problems aris- ing in or out of school, and many others. Counseling has also been accomplished with many form- er pupils who have returned for additional information after graduation or after completion of military service. A placement bureau begun two years ago has been con- tinued, and almost 100 job applications from employers have been serviced. Along with this program has come an expan- sion of our visiting program which sends interested. juniors and seniors to observe the work being carried on at several of our business and professional establishments. With the continuing increase in enrollment, more•coun- seling and counseling time will soon be needed. 284 Highlights of our Activity Program Our activity program in 1953 included an increased ath- letic program for boys in the junior high school, the organ- ization of a junior high dramatic club, and the trip to Kansas City made by the Future Farmers of America. The junior high boys' athletic program is being carried on during the activity period. It is based on competition be- tween home rooms, divisions, and classes. The aims of the program are: to teach the fundamentals of the various games; to provide competitive games for those who do not participate in varsity athletics; and to provide opportunities for the development of desirable emotional, social and phy- sical qualities. During the fall, the fundamentals of football were taught to grades seven and eight, and games were played between the various divisions in those grades. Soc- cer was carried on in December. A junior high dramatic club consisting of forty-four members was organized in September. The chub presented a play at the Thanksgiving assembly. On October 8, 1953 a group of members of the Barnstable Chapter, Future Farmers of America left Barnstable High School to attend the twenty-fifth annual convention of the National Future Farmers of America at Kansas City, Mo. The group consisted of the local chapter president, Robert Cary; past president Robert Leeman; vice-president Avelino Dutra and faculty advisor Arnold H. Rogean. George John- son, a 1952 Barnstable High School graduate and the present state president of the Future Farmers of America joined the group at Amherst where he is a student at the University of Massachusetts. The trip was made by car and the group arrived at Kansas City on October 11. Some of the highlights of the convention were speeches by Secretary of Agricul- ture Benson and President Eisenhower. 285 Excerpts from the Report of the Director of the Vocational Trade'School Theodore W. Glover The Trade School continues with the same• three de- partments—Boat Building, Carpentry and Machine Shop. All these departments are carrying on in inadequate quarters. There is a demand for other trades to be taught. The most pressing of these is auto mechanics. Such a course re- quires space which is not available until there is a general enlargement of the school facilities. Other trades which should be introduced into a com- munity of this type are electrical work and plumbing. 286 The Barnstable Schoolhousing Problem and Recommended Solution by Educational Service Associates Medford, Massachusetts THE SIZE OF THE. SCHOOLHOUSING PROBLEM School Enrollment and Projected Future Enrollment The most important factors to be considered in the plan- ning of a program of schoolhouse construction are: (1) the financial status of the school district, (2) the adequacy of the existing school plant, (3) the school program to be carried out, and (4) the expected future school enrollments Of these factors, future enrollments is of primary im- portance in present thinking because of the recent high birth rates and the corresponding pressure upon existing accom- modations. Prediction of future enrollments with a high de- gree of accuracy is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Ac- tually, it is only necessary to secure a sound indication of future growth a relatively few years in advance of the actual need in order to lay plans for construction. Prediction of future school enrollments must be based upon known facts and existing conditions with cognizance given to possible changes in the prevailing situation. The known facts which are applicable are population trend, births, and past school enrollments. Children are present in a school district because of two facts, (1) they are born in the district and remain there, and (2) they move into the dis- trict before or after school entrance. Thus,increases in school enrollment are due to (1) an increasing birth rate and/or (2) any excess of in-migration over out-migration. 287 School building planning must take these factors into account with due regard for the risks inherent in prediction and an allowance for possible changing conditions. A flexible plan is absolutely necessary. Future Enrollment Based Upon Percentage of Survival Technique Projecting enrollments by the percentage of survival technique is dependent upon two assumptions: (1) There is a constant ratio between the number of births listed for a given year and the number of children who appear in Grade 1 after a lapse of time (six years). (2) The children in Grade 1 may be expected to move to Grade 2 the following year, to Grade 3 the next year, and so on through the rest of the grades. In applying this technique, the number of children in Grade 1 in a given year is taken as a percentage of the num- ber of listed births six years previous. This is done for each year of a known period, 1935 through 1952 for births, and 1937-38 through 1952-53 for school enrollments. Similarly, the number of children in each successive grade is expressed as a percentage of the number of children in the prior grade the previous year. Each percentage is termed "percentage of survival". When this is done for each�year throughout the designat- ed period, an arithmetic average is taken of all percentage of survival for birth to Grade 1, Grade l.to Grade 2, Grade 2 to Grade 3 and so on to Grade 12. These average percentages of survival are then applied in sequential order beginning in 1947 for births and 1952-53 for enrollments. Thus if the av- erage percentage of survival for the base period for births to Grade 1 enrollments six years later is applied to birth data for 1947 to 1952 inclusive, the projected Grade 1 enrollments for 1953-54 to 1958-59 will be derived. 288 Birth and enrollment data for the base period for the Town of Barnstable is presented in TableI. This table shows the number of pupils that may be expected to be in each grade for several years in the future, provided conditions exist which are comparable to those which the Town exper- ienced during the base period 1935 to 1952. This means a comparable rate of in-migration as related to out-migration of parents with children in given grade groups. Some devia- tion from these figures may be expected as a result of local and regional changes which are not predictable at this time. 289 ri tD Lid to N C.O r-I 00 lid r-I O m m ri w w Cl M er-I w o0 00 = = r= 00 C -4 c- O 00 eM 00 t- . r--i ri ri t- W M CD ri I M N r-I O O r-1 Ti O CO N N ri ri ri r-i ri ri ri ri ri ri ri O 00 O 00 t- 00 M 00 ID O C.

Following the completion of Grade 1, on the average, there has been a drop of 6.217o in the number of pupils going on to Grade 2. The level of enrollment from grade to grade thereafter remains fairly constant with a noticeable drop between Grades 9 and 10 and a substantial drop between Grades 10 and 11 and between Grades 11 and 12. 292' TABLE III Total Enrollments for Combined Grade Groups Grand School Total Total Total Total Total Year 1-6 7-9 10-12 7-12 1-12 1937-8 914 434 316 750 1694 1938-9 958 445 326 771 1729 1939-0 986 445 341 786 1772 1940-1 989 473 347 820 1809 1941-2 979 469 368 837 1816 1942-3 926 471 346 817 1743 1943-4 911 406 323 729 1640 1944-5 819 434 315 749 1568 1945-6 876 427 316 743 1619 1946-7 916 428 326 754 1670 1947-8 952 413 347 760 1712 1948-9 1025 405 347 752 1777 1949-0 1113 435 359 794 1907 1950-1 1197 457 366 823 2020 1951-2 1236 502 351 853 2089 1952-3 1257 515 378 893 2150 1953-4* 1397 559 368 927 2324 1954-5 1483 581 406 987 2470 1955-6 1532 613 419 1032 2564 1956-7 1577 638 452 1090 2667 1957-8 1786 605 470 1075 2861 1958-9 1899 618 496 1114 3013 1959-0 721 515 1236 1960-1 834 484 1318 1961-2 872 498 1370 1962-3 819 592 1411 1963-4 905 676 1581 1964-5 976 695 1671 1965-6 655 1966-7 736 1967-8 790 *Enrollment figures for 1953-54 to 1957-68 are projections. 293 Combined Enrollments Grades 1-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 1-12 Table III presents the total enrollments for combined Grades 1-6, 7-9, 10-12, 7-12, and 1-12 for the Town of Barns- table. It is seen from Table III that each grade group steadily increases except for a slight drop in group 7-9 in 1957-58. By 1958-59, it is predicted that the total enrollment in Grades 1-6 will have increased to 1899 from 1257 in 1952-53, an increase of 5157o in the six-year period. Also, it is predicted that the high school enrollment in Grades 7-9 will increase from 515 in 1952-53 to 618 in 1958 and 976 in 1964-65. The high school enrollment in Grades 10-12 is predicted to increase from 378 in 1952-53 to 496 in 1958-59, to 695 in 1964-65, and 790 in 1967-68. Thus, the effect of the combined enrollment in Grades 7-12, as shown in Table III, may be seen more clearly by the following table and discussion: TABLE IV Combined Enrollments—Grades 7-12 in selected years 1953-54 927 1958-59 1114 1954-55 987 1964-65 1671 1955-56 1032 Source: Table III The need for various classrooms and special facilities in the Barnstable High School was discussed quite well in the 1952 Town Report of the Town of Barnstable on pages 269 to 271. This Overview Report was written by Messrs. F. M. Hodge, H. H .Broadbent, and M. C. Knight. In 1952-53, the building was filled to capacity with the physics laboratory, the typewriting room, the bookkeeping room, and the office machines room being used for study halls and home room purposes. In addition, one science and one Spanish class were in a small room over the machine shop in the Iyanough building. In 1952-53, the total enrollment in Grades 7-12 was 893. Thus,this fall of 1953, at least an additional 34 pupils may be 294 expected to enter the high school building. This means that more space will be required to house these pupils, and at best, the situation will be not only inconvenient but unsat- isfactory. Large classes, over 30 pupils, are unsatisfactory and quality of instruction is.impaired. Table IV shows that the situation will get progressively worse as the larger elementary classes reach the levels of Grades 7-12. It is interesting to indicate the fact that in the Over- view Report, mentioned above, total enrollments were pre- dicted in selected years. This prediction is compared in the following table with that of Educational Service Associates.

Table IV. CONCLUSION As a result of studying the preceding pages devoted to school enrollments, Educational Service Associates have come to definite conclusions concerning future school plan- ning for the Town of Barnstable. 1. Barnstable's elementary enrollments are growing and will continue to increase. 2: In 1952-53, the high school building was overcrowd- ed and will become more so in 1953-54. 3. Additional classrooms and special purpose rooms are urgently needed in the high school building NOW. 295 4. Construction of additional facilities must be plan- ned and undertaken immediately. THE SUGGESTED SOLUTION OF THE SCHOOLHOUSING PROBLEM The Existing School Plant The report of Dr. Blair, made in 1948, gives a rather complete description of the school buildings in Barnstable, excepting of course, the new elementary school in Hyannis, the new building in Centerville, and the present status of the Osterville building, all of which date later than 1948. Without taking space to describe all of the elementary school buildings in detail, a summary of their recommended future is included below. TABLE VI Existing Elementary Schools Adequacy Adequacy Building of Bldg. of Site Recommendation Cotuit Elem, Poor Very Poor New building on new site at a relatively early date. Osterville Fair Good Keep and add as ne- cessary. Centerville Excellent Excellent Use with any needed future additions. W. Barnstable Poor Poor Eventually consolidate with Barnstable in new building. Barnstable Very Poor Very Poor Abandon for new bldg. on new site with eventual consolida- tion with West Barn- stable. Marstons Mills Poor Fair Keep for lower.grades for a while. Hyannis Excellent Excellent Use but do not en- large greatly. Eventu- ally build new school in west section or re- district. 296 It should be noted here that the survey staff was im- pressed by the excellent maintenance of the Barnstable school buildings, both old and new. The School Committee, the Superintendent, and the custodial and maintenance staff deserve the highest commendation for this exceptionally high degree of excellence in maintenance work. THE HIGH SCHOOL Dr. Blair's report gives a good picture of the inadequacy of the facilities in the high school building over and beyond the fact that the increasing secondary school population cannot be accommodated by the building. This building is expected to shelter about 900 pupils this fall. A reasonable enrollment for this building would be about 750, certainly not more than 800,boys and girls. Although the building has many deficiencies, it has been kept in excellent condition and represents a substantial equity to the community. Common sense calls for its use for many years in some capacity for which it is best fitted. In this connection it is the opinion of the survey staff that it would serve better as a junior high school than either a senior high or elementary school. THE TEACHERS' COLLEGE BUILDING Barnstable has purchased from the state the buildings and grounds formerly used as a state teachers' college. Be- cause it is an obvious question whether or not any of this property can be used as a portion of the total school plants, the matter was carefully studied. The Training School building has already been aban- doned for elementary school use in Hyannis and no effort should be made to put classes in it again. The main college building, an old masonry structure with high ceilings, out-of-date heating and ventilating, and poor natural lighting, is not adaptable for modern school use either in facilities or arrangement. Another factor not to be overlooked, is that this multistoried building with its masonary shell and interior (floors, stairs and wainscoting, 297 etc.) all of wood is a sufficient fire hazard to make it doubtful if parents would wish their children to be housed in it. It is the opinion of the survey staff that no part of the teachers' college buildings should be used for public school purposes. The Elementary School Problem The basic and most pressing problem relating to the elementary school buildings is that their capacity is rapidly being exceeded by increasing enrollment. The seven build- ings now in use or being constructed have a total of 47 classrooms. At the desirable average class size of 25 pupils these rooms would accommodate 1175 children. At the de- sirable average class size of 30 pupils these rooms would ac- commodate only 1410 pupils. The present total pupil load represents the beginning of overcrowding. The forecast for the next five years shows a substantial excess of enrollment over capacity. The geographical aspects of the Town of Barnstable suggest the desirability of maintaining strategically located elementary schools in those sections where population con- centrations are sufficient to fill an elementary unit of at least one section per grade. Where old and inadequate build- ings are outgrown, new ones may be erected. In some cases where the number of rooms is insufficient, the building, if otherwise adequate may be used for primary grades with the upper grades transported to other locations. The Secondary Problem The existing high school building covering grades seven through twelve will house only a few more than 750 pupils comfortably, yet the enrollment in these grades will exceed 1100 and perhaps 1200 before the end of this decade. This building, already the result of three stages of construction should not have any more additions of substantial size. At the same time it is worth too much and is too good to aban- don. Accordingly, the solution must be the construction of another building. Since the existing building is less inade- 298 quate for a junior high school than for a senior high school, the new structure should be designed for senior high school use. The Recommended Plan One of the most difficult questions in any school building problem is the matter of timing. School enrollment as fore- casted for'Barnstable will show a continuous increase on both elementary and secondary levels. The difficulty is to find a schedule of building which will not at any time result in a substantial surplus of rooms in one area or on one level and a corresponding scarcity elsewhere. Such a solution may often consist of an arrangement by which a building de- signed for intermediate or secondary grades may temporarily house elementary school pupils, or a "junior-high school" may at different times house different sequences of grades. One additional difficulty in Barnstable is the difficulty of predicting the future enrollment in the different elemen- tary school districts. The available data are for the Town as a whole. A rough approximation may be made in terms of the ratios of the registration of voters in the various precincts, but these ratios may not hold for different age groups. The most dependable• figures can be secured from a continuous pre-school census supported by an annual house-to-house count. With substantial sums to be expended for new school- house construction, the cost of such a census is fully justi- fied—and is actually just good business. New construction is neccessary for both elementary and secondary levels. However, the best plan seems to be (1) to build a new high school, (2) to house in it at first Grades 9-12, (3) and to put Grades 6-8 in the existing secondary school building initially, thus for a few years relieving the pressure on the elementary schools. Later elementary school construction will permit taking Grade 6 back into the ele- mentary schools, either gradually or all at once, thus making room for increasing secondary school enrollment. This ar- rangement avoids the necessity of building two schools at the same time and helps spread the financial load. 299 ENROLLMENT BY GRADE GROUPS The projected enrollments by important groupings of. grades at three-year intervals are shown in the following table. TABLE VII Enrollment Projections by Grade Groups Grades Grades Grades Grades Grades Grades Grades Year 1-6 7-8 7-9 9-12 10-12 6-12 7-12 1955 1532 424 613 608 419 1247 1032 1958 1899 405 618 709 496 1428 1114 1961 2000* 562 872 808 498 1630 1370 1964 2200* 719 976 952 695 ............ 1671 1967 2400* 720 1070 1140 790 ............ 1860 *Projections of forecasts made'by.percentage-of-survival technique. If now the capacity of the existing elementary school buildings is taken at 1350 (slightly less than 30 pupils per classroom on the average) and the capacity of the existing high school building is taken at 750, it is possible to find the deficit in capacity against predicted total Grade 1-12 enrollment by direct comparison and to outline necessary capacity to be provided by new construction. A study of the Table `'III shows how the steadily increasing enrollment on both elementary and secondary levels will require a continuing increase in the cumulative to- tal capacity to be provided by new schoolhouse construction. The total additional capacity predicted as necessary for elementary schools by the year 1967 is that which will ac- commodate about 1000 pupils. The corresponding figure on the secondary level is 1200. These capacities, it must be understood, are in addition to any replacements. Since, over the years, some of the presently existing elementary build- ings must be replaced, the total construction will be greater than the tabulated data indicate. A suggested arrangement of projects to meet these con- struction needs is shown in Table IX. 300 o z m r O m o ao M C11 to M •-i a 0 o O F CJ O z cu z O O O O p O O O O O p F 00 ri - c" m O m 61 O O O O Op ' y a &Q 00 00 00 N N ti 4� to H •-1 +-+ .0 LO Or C 0 Q N ri a y ;a CD M O ri o Ai p eo ri r r V �� cq o a In Ca) 000 M o co � O v M n ~ v e> 00 � 10 in � 0z kn � 00 o a y ++a o 0 0 0 0 0 o O o o (1) U EF cca cal ccl c l c q a 0 � U Lo LO tLO tC O a� Fri to c- r r r c' r-i Q cd M M co M 'N Cd �' M O ri O ul •U2 .. p w ,-i r r cn W o F ckm m 00 i m co M It D Wan m U cm <H O ri O .� M 1-1 r r V CD OD r-1 m to r1 00 Gd U 'O N cl m O O O N pi M m o O O F Lo 00 O N d cl c7 cz 4� 00 ri eM r N In UD V to cm ri ri ri r1 ri 301 r m Cd no A w P+ w A C7 W) yA to o � Acisp A A aAi d ¢ m ¢ w A p o s a o OC F p d w O ti w p bb n rA O bA �?

It will be noted from this and preceding tables that there is relatively little margin of capacity over enrollment at any time and that in some stages the predicted enrollment slightly exceeds the listed capacity. Spreading the Load By scheduling projects as listed in Table IX it is possible to avoid building several units at the same time. This ar- rangement not only prevents the construction of rooms which will be vacant for several years, but also stretches out the financing, thus helping to level out the tax cost of the needed construction. At the'same time this spreading process is an excellent guarantee against overbuilding. TABLE X New High School Bldg. Old High School Bldg.

The Proposed New High School This building should be on a large site, preferably le- vel and suitable for the development of playgrounds. Its original capacity should be 800 pupils but such special fea- tures as the gymnasium, auditorium, library, and cafeteria should be planned and constructed to serve a total enroll- ment of 1200. The original plans for this building should show not only the first unit to be built but also the expected addition. Sites The survey staff feels that the new high school building should be located in Hyannis. One possibility vas the ampli- fication of the site of the old high school building by using 303 the land obtained by the Town from the teachers' college south of South Street, possibly increased by some land to the east of the old railroad right-of-way. This is a possibilty but not entirely satisfactory because of the shape of the available land, its topography, and somewhat limited access. It is felt that the new structure should be an entirely separate unit from the existing high school building. While location in Hyannis will make it possible to correlate the secondary school transportation, the new building should be sufficiently separated from the old to keep the different age groups segregated and to avoid the mass effect of too many pupils in one place. The best choice for a new high school site appears to be land west and northwest of the new Hyannis elementary school. South of Route 28 between Bearses Way and Pitchers Way and north of North Street there is sufficient area for a good secondary school site without enroaching upon the site of the elementary school. This is the site preferred in this study for a new secondary school. Since the existing high school building will accommo- date eventually only two grade groups and because it should not be further enlarged, the new school must be planned to house grades nine through twelve. This is a perfectly satis- factory arrangement and will not in any way be detrimental to the school program. The cost of this new unit cannot be closely estimated until the plans are drawn, but a rough prediction would lie in the range of $2,000,000 to $2,250,000. The Elementary Schools The suggested future of the various elementary school buildings was outlined in Table VI. It is the conclusion of the survey staff that: 1. The Cotuit school should be replaced with a new build- ing on a new site, probably north of Coolidge Street and west of Main Street.For a few years the present building can be kept in service to serve as many lower grade pupils as it can comfortably house, with upper grades, perhaps both 304 grades five and six, transported as necessary to Hyannis. There they can be housed either (A) In the old high school building when the new one is completed, or (B) By putting fifth grade pupils in the Hyannis ele- mentary school in space provided by moving all sixth grade pupils into the old high school build- ing. 2. The Osterville School can be enlarged as necessary. 3. The Centerville School (new) can be enlarged as necessary. 4. A new school should be erected to serve Barnstable and West Barnstable. The Barnstable building should be abandoned. The West Barnstable building may be retained for some time to serve lower elementary grades with upper elementary grades transported to Hyannis at first (as out- lined above for the Cotuit children) and later to the new Barnstable building when it is built. Later the West Barn- stable building should be abandoned and all Barnstable and West Barnstable children consolidated in the new element- ary school to serve that area. Accordingly, a site for this unit should be chosen west of Barnstable village. There is reason to believe that this site may well be south of Route 6 and west of the railroad overpass near Hinckley Pond. The land in this area for the first half mile west of the railroad overpass is irregular in topography but probably relatively easy to grade. 5. The Marstons Mills School can likewise be kept for primary grades, removing older pupils as the building be- comes overcrowded. Unless there is substantial and evidently unexpected growth of population in this area, the district may later (A) Be divided up completely among other districts for all grades, or 305 (B) Be retained only as a primary school district, grades one through three, with other grades dis- tributed to adjoining districts. 6. The New Hyannis elementary school may soon be out- grown. It should not be greatly enlarged. If the elementary enrollment of Hyannis increases substantially it would ap- pear to be wise to erect another new elementary school to serve the west portion of the district. A site north of County Road but south of West Main Street should be sought for this purpose. Determination of Dates and Places for Elementary School Construction On the basis of available data, it is not possible to sche- dule the new construction by detail for each elementary school district. Some rooms will need to be built within a few years, others can be spread out into the future. In order to make a long range plan by districts it is necessary to establish a complete and detailed continuous pre-school census. For this purpose an accurate annual house-to-house count and a permanent card file are necessary. This should be started this fall. It is xvorth while to spend a little money to get accurate data which will properly guide the spending of far larger sums. When this data becomes available, it can be used as the basis of projections by dis- tricts and analysis of trends in pupil residence patterns which will prevent overbuilding in any one area. Recommendations 1. Action should be taken immediately to authorize the planning of a new high school building in Barnstable, the building to house 800 pupils initially with special facilities designed to support an eventual 1200 pupil enrollment. This building should be located in Hyannis. 2. A site of not less than 50 acres should be acquired im- mediately in the area west and northwest of the new Hyannis 306 elementary school site. Access should be acquired from North Street, Bearses Way, and Route 28 (or alternatively from Pitchers Way). The portion'to be chosen of the total area available should be selected on the basis of competent engineering advice. 3. An appropriation of$25,000 should be granted to per- mit (a) the employment of an architect to draw up prelim- inary plans. (b) the employment of educational consultants to pre- pare educational specifications and advise the School Committee and architect during the plan- ning of the building. 4. Arrangements should be made now to establish and maintain a continuous pre-school census as a basis for future planning of needed elementary school construction. 5. All requirements of the Massachusetts School Build- ing Assistance Commission in the planning and construction of new schools should be scrupulously observed. 307 Report of the School Health Department The teachers and health personnel in the Town of Barn- stable were fortunate in having the opportunity of attend- ing a course in Corrective Speech given by Mrs. Marion Giles, assistant Director of the National Institute for Voice Disorders, this year. This was another step forward in cor- rective and preventive work, as many of the children with speech difficulties may be helped by the teacher at a very early age. Progress has been made this year toward definitely es- tablishing a Mental Health Clinic for the County and 1954 should see the clinic in action. The Pre-school Clinics were conducted in May and June. A total of two hundred and forty-one children attended. Physical appraisal of students of the first, third, seventh and eleventh grades was conducted by the School Physician. All bus drivers and athletic teams were examined by the School Physician. The school personnel requiring chest X-rays were ex- amined at Pocasset and Cape Cod Hospital in compliance with Chapter 732 of Acts of 1950, General Laws of Massa- chusetts. The County Hygienists administered Fluoride Treat- ments to children in the age groups of seven, ten and thir- teen, and examined the children for dental defects from grades five through twelve. The School Dental Clinic, sponsored by the Board of Health, was conducted at the Hyannis Elementary School. The following is a summary of work completed: 308 Number of clinics conducted 36 Number of examinations 625 Number of temporary fillings 130 Number of permanent fillings 378 Number of temporary extractions 25 Number of permanent extractions 7 Total number of treatments 540 Total number of children treated 264 More clinics are needed to meet the needs of the children in grades one through four, and it is hoped that in the com- ing year the Board of Health will have sufficient funds to service the clinic twice a week throughout the school year. The Massachusetts State Vision Test was given to all students in grades one, three, five, seven, nine and eleven, and to others on request. A total of one thousand and thirty- eight children were tested. There were forty-four children found to have defective vision and parents were notified of this condition. The hearing of students in grades one, three, seven, nine and eleven was tested with the Maico Audiometer, and of the one thousand and six children tested, forty-two were found to have defective hearing, and parents were notified. All tests given by the School Health Department are screening tests and should.not, be considered as diagnostic tests. The parents are notified of the results of these tests and are requested to see their family physician, eye special- ist or ear specialist for diagnosis and treatment. In concluding this report, we wish to express our thanks to the parents, family physicians and all health and welfare agencies in the town for their co-operation in maintaining good health in the school child.

Only in the Cape Ood Area of Massachusetts do we find it.the custom.to combine..the.offices of Selectmen, Assessors and members.,of ,Board, of. Public Welfare. This arrange- ment makes it. possible to have, full time. Selectmen and Assessors, in the ,place of part,time officials, and results un- questionably in better and, more efficient town.government. As full time Seleetmen,and,Assessors we are naturally expected to do,more than,those ,boards that are on the job only part,time. There are times, however, when we find that even on a full time..basi.s we can't. accomplish„everything to our. satisfaction. Over the past twenty years'the duties of-a Selectman in,Barnstable have greatly changed and increased: This has been due to changes.. n,the :laws;'to-additional Autiess the town meetings'have seen fit-to entrust'to' the Selectmen, as well as to the inevitable additional problems .which arise when a town grows,as rapidly:as we have both as-to perman- ent and temporary population..Back ,in,..the,,3Q's. .the town halt only ,one popular .public beach. ,(,Craigyille). and that was run by the Park:Department. Since,then Craigville has beenturned over to the Selectmen and,its,facilities .greatly enlarged. The town:has acquired and improve.d:such,.beaches as Dowse's, Kalmus Park,ai d,S ea,Street,.all under.the juris- diction of•the Selectmen: Also 'it has become' the cu'stoxn;in 'recent years to have many''ptojects'such'as"the building of roads and parking areas done iinder'the'sup'erdision of,the Selectmen. The Selectmen are naturally ,willing to, do, to the best of their ability, any task the town entrnsts'to them. At cer= tain times of the'year,however,,the Chairman has to "spread himself rather thin" 'in order to accomplish everything ex- 7 pected of him. Occasionally it is a physical impossibility with the available personnel. When the town votes for certain roads and parking areas at the March meeting, it is expected that they will be ready for summer use some three months later. In order to do these jobs properly and let them out to contract much engineering is required to decide exactly what has to be done and then to set up plans, specifications, etc. Additional time is consumed in advertising for bids, getting contracts signed and getting the contractor on the job, it being the time when most contractors are very busy. After the work begins we have no means of giving the jobs anything like the constant inspection they should have. On the whole, however, the projects under the care of the Selectmen have turned out reasonably well and apparent- ly the voters have been sufficiently satisfied to continue the practice and they have been given more and more to do. This last year, however, the Selectmen were given two roads and three parking areas to build, as well as a few rel- atively minor projects, this, of course, in addition to their regular duties as Selectmen, Assessors, and member of the Board of Public Welfare. Because of the great amount of detail involved, three of the jobs, from an engineering and construction point of view were "tricky" and time consumming. It was not possible to complete them before the summer season. The improvement of Ocean Street was held up for,a long time before poles and hydrants could be gotten out of the way. Then we were delayed a few days more•waiting for the contractor. Finally, we had to stop the work when only partially completed so as not to interfere• with the summer activity in the area. In the fall the contractor was most de- linquent in returning to the job despite frequent proddings from the• Selectmen. The entire result from the Selectmen's point of view was most unsatisfactory and we apologize to the people of Ocean Street for the inconveniences they suf- fered, for the most part in silence, over so long a period. 8 The Traffic Circle and North Street extension project also presented difficulties. In the first instance when we were ready to start work eve could get no precase cement curb for the traffic circle because of the cement shortage. When we finally located some granite curbing the contract- or had moved to another job, and there was still further de- lay. In addition the granite curb besides being much more ex- pensive was much more difficult to set. Thus construction work on this project ran well into the.summer and presented anything but a tidy appearance in the area. There• was no great amount of actual inconveni- ence to the public since traffic was kept.moving throughout the progress, of the work. When the traffic circle was com- pleted the job^was stopped because it obviously could not be completed within the appropriation. About $3,000 will be needed in addition to the existing balance to complete the work of grading, paving, placing cement curb, etc. The parking area at Osterville was another complicated job. Because of the many leases involved and so as to avoid the possibility of large land damages, we decided to ac- quire all except the leased land by purchase rather than by right of eminent domain. Seventeen deeds, leases, etc., had to be drawn and the proper signatures obtained. This consumed much time and effort. Subsequent to the letting of the contract much more than the normal amount of additional work had to be done, such as retaining walls, fences and reinforcement for cess- pools not known previously to exist. The area was eventu- ally paved and curbed and the contract completed. Addi- tional drainage, more retaining wall work and lighting is necessary. An expenditure of approximately $2500 will be required for this purpose. Although not completed until after the summer season the area has had considerable use and should greatly lessen the parking and traffic congestion during the 1955 season. To avoid in the future the reoccurance. of such diffi- culties as those we have encountered this year, we recom- 9 mend that an additional engineer, well versed,in..highway construction .be hired. This man should -be.available to.the department.in charge of such work from before Town Meet- ing,until all road work, and .similar construction is com- pleted.,Incidentally, this."would make possible the constant inspection .of such jobs,..thus making certain,that,the town gets what it pays for...It.would,make,little,difference to the Selectmen whether this ,engineer were under their supervi- sion,or that of the Surveyor of Highways. If he were on the Highway.pepartment payroll he would be of untold ,help to the.Highway Suryeyor.in the great amount of road construc- tion,anal.repairs done by, that department each year. All roads could then be,,built under the supervision of the High- way. Department,instead of, having the Selectmen do part of them. . In 1954 the ne.v Kalmus-Park.bathhouse and beach was used ,for the.,fir,st time. The new,building proved adequate and well designed for the.job it has to do. There was practi- cally,no damage in either hurricane "Carol" or "Edna' . The beach with the,addition of some 50,000 yards of.dredged material was in excellent condition and will accommodate a tremendous number of people. We are lacking in parking area, however,'and should eventually have atleast as much as we have at Craigville. We are asking the 1955 town meet- ing for $8,000'to be added to the small balance we already, have, to make a substantial start this year to«and solving the ,parking problem at Kalmus Park. ,There .being so much rain.and so -many cloudy days during.;the .summer, .beach attendance and resulting cash receipts were,considerable ',,off.". The,decrease,in income at Craigville was about twelve per cent. The :Selectmen had to make three,trips to, New York during 1954 toysettle for the town.different.matters concern- ing:the Estate of Mary.Lewis Kirkman. The will was finally probated,in New;York on July 13,,195,4. Subsequently the New York City real.estate and personal property were sold at an amount considerably in excess of the appraised value. 10 As this,.estate will not be finally settled for.,some months yet there.is,no,immediate-need for the town to take"any con- clnsive,action concerning .it.;The voters; particularly those in Cotuit, should be giving the matter,considerable thought, hove`-ber, since decisions' on' many things concerning the estate_will eventually have to'be made.' Late in the year, the Chair- our Finance Commit- tee, Mr. Walcott Ames,who has served the town so well for so many years in that capacity resigned from the Commit- tee. Although he later reconsidered to the extent of carrying on until after the 1.955 Town Meeting, the matter brought into focus a weakness-on""our Committee. No other member was willing to serve as Chairman, and when Mr` Besse re- signed as secretary, no one else on the committee would fill the vacancy. Although we do not blame any of the. com- mittee for their attitude, since either position requires much additional time and effort, it, brought home to us the fact that both the committee and its officers had served so well and faithfully that changes in membership of the committee had been few. In order that no member will feel a civic ob- ligation to serve too long and so that we may keep the com- mittee supplied with potential leadership we are suggest- ing a change .in the Town's By-Laws as they relate to the Finance Committee so that no member may be re-appointed after he has served nine years. Any discussion of the Finance Committee would be in- complete this year if we did not call attention to the fact that Mr. Ernest S. Bradford recently resigned from the committee after serving nineteen years. Mr. Bradford was an almost ideal man for such a position being possessed of unusually good judgement, a keen analytical mind and being unusually,free from bias and prejudice. The Town was for- tunate in having his services for so long. John S. Lebel, who has been our building inspector since 1948 resigned at the end of 1954 to give more attention to the contracting business of John B. Lebel & Sons, Inc. Mr. Lebel has done an outstanding job as building inspector at 11 a time when home building and commercial building has been at its peak. He has had a great deal to do and has done it well, having in mind at all times the best interests of the town. We were sorry to have him leave the town's service. We have received unusually fine .cooperation this year from all departments. The highway department has saved the town thousands of dollars in allowing its equipment to be used whenever possible for projects outside the usual scope of highway work. VICTOR F.

Very truly yours, HERMAN B. DINE Director of Accounts Mr. Herman B. Dine Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit.of the general accounts of the town of Barnstable for the period from September 1, 1952, and of the accounts 72 of the town treasurer, town collector and town clerk from March 15, 1953, the dates of the previous audits, to April 21, 1954, the following report being submitted thereon: The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and check- ed for the period covered by the. audit. The books and accounts of the accounting officer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's books and with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection. The recorded payments were checked with treasury warrants and with the disbursements as shown by the treasurer's books. The appropriations,trans- fers, and loan orders, as entered on the ledgers,were checked with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed by Town meetings. The general and appropriation ledger accounts were an- alyzed, a trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, the necessary adjustments resulting from the audit were,made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on April 21, 1954. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked -with the accounting officer's books, with the records of the .several departments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which money is paid into the town treasury., The recorded payments were compared with the treasury warrants authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse town funds and with the accounting officer's books. The cash books were footed throughout and the cash balance on April 21, 1954 was verified by reconciling the bank bal- ances with statements received from the depositories. 73 The records of deductions for federal taxes, county re- tirement system, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield, made from employees' salaries and wages were examined and checked, the amounts withheld being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts and the amounts paid to the Director of Internal Revenue, the county treasurer, and the Massachusetts Hospital Service, Inc., being verified. The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the several trust and investment funds in the. custody of the town treasurer were ,examined and listed. The income was.proved and all balances and trans- actions were verified and compared with the books of the accounting officer. The records of tax titles: and tax possessions held by the town were, examined and checked in detail. The town and district taxes transferred to the tax title account were checked with the collector's records, the foreclosures were verified, the redemptions of tax titles and sales of tax pos- sessions were checked with the treasurer's cash book,and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand-were listed, reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger, and compared with the records in the Registry of Deeds. The records of receipts from parking meter fees, which are,collected by the police department and brought to the treasurer's office to be counted, were examined. The books and accounts ,of the, town collector were ex- amined and,checked..The town and fire district taxes, motor vehicle. and trailer excise, assessments, .and departmental accounts recommitted at the time of the previous examina- 74 tion, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved. The payments to the town and district treasur- ers were verified, the abatements were checked with the records in the departments authorized to grant such credits, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accounting officer's ledger controls. The outstanding tax, excise, and departmental accounts were further,verified by mailing notices to a number of per- sons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The collector's cash balance on April 21, 1954 was veri- fied.by actual count of cash in the office and by compari- son of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit. The financial accounts of the town clerk pertaining to dog and sporting licenses issued as well as receipts from miscellaneous sources were examined. The payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's record- ed receipts and the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game were compared with the receipts on file. The surety bonds of the officials required to file them for the faithful performance of their duties'were examined and found to be in proper form. The books and accounts of the treasurer of the district Department of Veterans' Services were examined and checked. The amounts received for the expenses of the dis- trict from the towns comprising the district were verified. The payments were compared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse district funds, and the cash balance on April 21, 1954 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit. 75 The records 'of the board of selectmen, the board of health, the sealer of weights and measures, and the police and school department, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined and checked, the recorded collections being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts. In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, excise, special assess- ment, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, as well as schedules showing the transactions and condition of the trust and investment funds. For the cooperation extended by the town officials dur- ing the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assis- tants and for myself, to express appreciation.

Mr. Ruben Anderson, Superintendent, reports that no serious trouble had developed at the pumping station in the past year. He has recommended however that a third pump be installed, now that the summer load on the sys- tem has increased. The eight filter beds are in good condition and are func- tioning satisfactorily. Ten new connections to the town Sewer System have been added in 1954. An estimated 102,000,000 gallons of sewerage was pumped to the beds in 1954 according to the report from Mr. Ruben Anderson, Superintendent. The Bailey Meter which was reconditioned last spring has failed again and we are recommending a new meter this year. The Sewer Department wishes to thank the various De- partinents of the Town who during the past year have aided - and assisted us froin time to time. This cooperation has been most helpful. Respectfully submitted, WALTER R. POND, Chairman H. LESTER SHERMAN, Jr. ROBERT F. SCUDDER, Secretary 1.98 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE Highway Department Rf... ANNUAL REPORT 1954 Report' of THE SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS It is with great pleasure that I submit my report on the activities of the Barnstable Highway Department for the year 1954. In a year where great things in road building and gen- eral maintenance were scheduled to be accomplished by the department, in many ways, 1954 was perhaps an exceptional year. Weather conditions, always a vital factor in determin- ing,the road work program, were often unusual to say the least. Rainfall on the• Cape 'was extremely heavy, and the, high winds and water accompanying hurricanes "Carol" and "Edna" caused terrific damage and destruction that resulted in the loss of more than one month's planned work. In addition, our crews were called to clear two quite sub- stantial snow storms which struck without warning before the Christmas holiday. Nevertheless, despite these handicaps, during the year we have made considerable progress and many important highway projects have been completed, namely: SCHOOL' STREET, COTUIT VILLAGE: through coopera- tion between State and Town forces a complete Type I bituminous concrete resurfacing job has been effected. Curbing and sidewalk rebuilding has been started to sup- plement this improvement in the village business center. CHASE STREET, HYANNIS: Drain installation connected with the 24" Main Street drain, assuring relief against a water condition at the intersection of Cliase and South Street. CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: Stone sealing Newtown Road, Santuit Route No. 149, Marstons Mills Shoot Flying Hill Road and Phinney's Lane, Centerville (financed jointly by Town, County, and State) 200 CHAPTER 9.0 CONSTRUCTION: Maple Street and Put- nam Avenue, Cotuit, brushed, widened, drained, and re- surfaced with Type I, bituminous concrete. (Completes the road project) Osterville Village Center, Wianno Avenue p This project is especially noteworthy in that it shows a complete widening, resurfacing, and sidewalk-curb job done almost exclusively by town forces and town owned equipment. - NEW ROADS: Surfaced CircleDrive ....................................................................................

Rffi At the annual Town Meeting, the sum of $150,000.00 «as appropriated for the budget of the.Highway Depart- ment and once again the department has endeavored to more completely and economically maintain the highways and sidewalks in all the villages of the town. Our sidewalk and curb money has been spent to a great extent on pro- jects which we feel_ tend to benefit many people or put the "iini_hir.g touch" io proposals voted for at Town Meeting. I or example, Pleasant Street aud,Pine Street in Hyannis, «,ere newly surfaced as voted and at the same time equipped with i-,(-, «-alks and driveway aprons. On North Street, also in Hyannis, to further protect pedestrians on this heavily traveled way, the sidewalk was extended westerly from Bas- sett Lane to the Mitchell Way, North Street Extension corn- er. In Centerville, at the request of the School Committee and for the safety of the school children in this area, the Bumps River Road sidewalk was extended and new sidewalk 203 and curb laid on Bay Lane to the yard limits of the new Centerville School. Looking forward into the year ahead, we of the department feel that there will be a need for con- siderable sidewalk work to be done on Main Street, Hyan- nis, particularly in the East end where time and many years of heavy foot-travel has taken its toll on the present sur- face. In another phase of our highway work, the• roadside brushing activities of our units have proven'very success- ful during the past year, especially on Route• 132, Hyannis, in the Bumps River section of Centerville and Osterville, and on Putnam Avenue•, Cotuit, where extensive programs have been carried on. It is also pleasant to report at this time, of the many favorable comments received at the highway office on the beauty of our road.parks. The Bianca Park and new Aaron S. Crosby Park, both located in the village of Centerville,.- came in for more than their share of the praise. The major problem confronting the Highway Depart- ment is still the one of surface drainage from our streets. However, increased catch basin construction and waterway building sliould drastically reduce this condition in th near future. At this writing, the Highway Department building, grounds, and shops as well as the equipment and repair shop unit are in excellent condition. We are grateful to the voters, who, at the last meeting sanctioned the purchase of a road grader for our equipment fleet. A Wareo, 115 horse- power, heavy duty grader -was purchased and has performed very satisfactorily. At this time, our most pressing need is for the replacement of street sweeper which is now five years old and in need of costly repairs if it is to continue at its present pace. Operating on a 7 day week basis, that in eludes sweeping in.all the villages as well as the town park- ing lots, we feel it is a definite necessity and a special article in regard to this need has been inserted in the warrant this year for the consideration of the voters. 204 In concluding this report, as has been previously stat- ed, it is the aim and desire of the Highway Department to work "-vvithin departments" to increase efficiency and effect savings. The return to the Highway Department in cooper- ation and assistance, came in full measure from the other departments of the town in combating the rains, hurricanes, and snow storms that occurred in this exceptional year, 1954. Town officers, Police Department, the Tree Warden and men, Park Department, the District Fire Departments, Utility companies, local contractors, and Citizens of the Town all worked hand in hand with the men of the Highway Department.. The assistance given to•my department has been most gratifying, and.I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation. Respectfully submitted, STANLE.Y R.

WENDELL HAMBLIN HAY BRUCE REID 208 ANNUAL REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD February 8, 1955 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable At the 1954 Annual Town Meeting, the Planning Board recommended to the voters of the Town a proposal for the establishment of one-way traffic along Main Street in the village of Hyannis: The article was not accepted by the voters, however, the problem of congestion on Main Street remains and a solution is still being studied by the Plan- ning Board. A Zoning Amendment passed by the voters'at the 1954 Meeting was turned down by the Attorney General and a substitute amendment will be sought at the 1955 Town Meeting. _ As in past years, the Planning.Board• held a number of meetings for the purpose of making recommendations to the Board of Appeals on requests for variances throughout the Town. Public hearings have been scheduled on February 24 and February 25, 1955 to discuss the various zoning amend- ments and changes which are being-sponsored by various individuals and groups and which are to be acted upon at the 1955 Town Meeting.

O'NEIL Chairman 209 Report "of BUILDING INSPECTOR January 24, 1955 Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis,'MV ssachuseits Gentlemen I herewith' submit my, Annual Report for the year 1954. As in former years the residential building in town comprized the greater portion of all building being 73% of the total building in dollar volume. The trend has followed that. of the,-last, eight;years`in that the average cost of a house permit has increased but in greater, proportion than ,the increase in building costs which reflects a better type and class of residential, build- ing. The average approximate cost for,.each building per- mit for a dwelling was $10,230.00, the listed valuations varying from $900.00 to $120,000. The average cost .of all permits issued was $6,704.00 varying from $16.00 to $135,000.00. The following is a comparison by years of thetotal building permits and approximate` valuations issued 'in Town: 1946 $ 902,095.00 1947.%, 1,211,160.00 1948 2,550,410.00 1949 5,415,740.00 1950 4,619,675.00 1951 2,184,140.00 210 1952 2,922,325.00 1953 3,115,700.00 1954 3,318,605.

The post has been taken over by Herbert Stringer of Osterville, a capable and experienced builder who will, I'm sure, insist on quality building and close adherence to the zoning by-laws. I'm sure the other departments of the Town will afford him the same cooperation and courtesy extended me. Respectfully submitted, JOHN S.

Electrical Inspections 2,403 Service Permits to the Cape and Vineyard Electric Company 933 Miles Traveled 16.565 This year one of our pioneer, electrical contractors, Mr._ Arthur E. Dyer passed away. I am,sure we in the electrical industry and his many friends and associates .very much regret his loss. It is a tribute to his memory that his faithful employees for many years are in a position to carry on the business that Mr. Dyer worked so hard to build. Respectfully. submitted, W. ELLIOT LEWIS Inspector of Wires 213 Report of, TREE WARDEN DEPARTMENT To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The year 1954 has been one of the busiest years in the history of this department. During the planting season in the spring, one. hundred ne-%v shade trees were planted, mostly in new locations and only a .few being planted as replacements in' the various plantings throughout the Town. It was the intention of this department to plant,an additional one hundred'trees in the fall of 1954, filling in all the replacements and doing ad- ditional planting. As a result of the two consecutive hurri- canes, however, this fall..plaiiting, had to be ,postponed. All of the young trees,planted throughout the Town.in the.last few years were fertilized, aeriated and straightened; which was necessary to insure good future growth. , This,year..the..department;has done,some,experimenting with the liquid fertilizers, which can be used,in,Gonjunetion with most spray materials,,and,applied during the regular- spraying program throughout the summer. The results to- date have been very,favorable and I think in the future it will help to cut down the mortallity rate in the new plant ings. Each year,,in.an effort to insure the.greatest amount of safety for the citizens of the Town, broken and low hanging branches are trimmed and removed after the trees have at- tained their growth for the season. The tent caterpillar infestation is continuing to show improvement. All main and secondary roads were sprayed as soon as possible for control of this unsightly insect. 214 Wherever possible during the year, the host trees for this insect were dug up and destroyed; eliminating in this way some of•the.breeding areas. The damage from the Elm Beetle in the various shade trees throughout the Town has shown some improvement. Two machines were put on this control work early in the - season, but for several weeks at the critical control period, the weather was,very bad and 'it.,was necessary to have as- sistance from aerial spraying. This insured complete cover- age for'all of the' trees'Vefore it became too'late in the sea- son. It was also a' help in the control 'of'ariy'insects that might' be active at this time. At the end of the summer, the trees in the Town were very badly damaged, by two, consecutive hurricanes. This caused untold.,damage,and up-rooted several hundred,trees, including.a large number,of shade .trees. The first consid- eration of,course„was to remove the broken,and up-rooted trees. After the, general, cleaning-up this department, or-, ganize,,d two .trimmings .crews, to,,remove the broken and hanging branches and,to do the necessary repair work,to.all of the shade trees.—This work is still:;in, progress.at the present time. After, carrying out.a ,survey .throughout the Town, .I find that, damage.,is so extensive„that practically every free requires some attention. As the work in the high shade trees can only be carried on.in good weather, it is, therefore,' a long,tange program:' The: satin,moth.infestation continues to,be.well under Control.

I feel we are very fortunate, with the two infested trees having been found in 1953, because in most instances, after an infestation is found in a certain area, it follows with a large number of trees becoming infected with the disease•. I have attended several Dutch Elm Disease Clinics through- out New England this year. We .are using the• very latest methods for the protection of our remaining trees and it is hoped that we may be able to minimize any possibility of re- occurrence. Early in the spring, before• any growth had started, all the elm erees were given their first spraying by both aerial and ground equipment for protection against the bark beetle, which,is the carrier of the• Dutch Elm disease. This spraying was followed by two additional sprays, which completed the latest protective program recommended by the State Department of Conservation. During the. entire summer season, all of the elm trees within the Town were inspected periodically. We are continuing taking samples from suspicious trees and sending the same to the State De- partment for culture. In this way we can find infected trees in the shortest possible time. 216 GYPSY MOTH CONTROL The Gypsy Moth infestation within the Town continues " well under control: During the summer of 1954, the moth traps were dis- tributed at the designated locations throughout the Town " in compliance with the program of the State Department of Conservation. The periodic inspection of these traps was continued for the. entire .season. After each visit, the re- sults of these catches are forwarded to the Department of Entimology at Greenfield for identification. A report is made to each local superintendent. At the. end of the trapping sea- son, the combined results of all the departments in the County are checked over and, in this way, the Department of Conservation can easily detect any increase of the Gypsy Moth. AERIAL SPRAYING The Aerial Spraying Program was carried out in much the same manner as during the previous year. About thirty percent more area was sprayed this year, including larger areas in Cotuit, Wianno, Osterville., Centerville, West Barn- stable, Barnstable and Hyannis. It is the intention of this program to spray all areas bordering marshes, ponds and any locations where stagnant water might exist, for the control of all types of flies,-mosquitos, etc. This spraying also is a considerable aid in retarding the Japanese Beetle population, because it will kill some of the adult beetles above ground at the time of application. It is not possible, at this time, to do an aerial spray job that will eliminate the. Japanese Beetle. The chemists who work on these insecti- cides are of the opinion that a chemical, capable of killing the Japanese Beetle from the air, will be on the market- in a year or two. A careful check of the Japanese Beetle during the season last year showed that there was a de- crease in infestation over the previous year. It is hoped that . this decrease will continue in the future. 217 . Although the infestation, of, Pine,Loopers was quite severe in several areas in the Town, it was not possible to expend-Town Funds for• the control•of, this insect, due to State Laws. During the• past winter, the State Legislature Iias,been petitioned, to put the.Pine Looper,under..the,jur- isdiction .of the.Local Moth Superintendents. ; Respectfully submitted,. JOHN F. SHIELDS Insect Control Superintendent 218 Report of . FOREST FIRE WARDEN January 1, 1955 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable Gentlemen': - I.herewith submit my fifth annual report which is for the year ending December 31, 1954. The department answered calls for 55 brush and Grass fires from the following causes: Smokers 8 _ Hot Ashes 1 Children 8 Fire Works 1 Debris Burning 11 Cook Fires 1 Incinerators 5 Hot Carbon 1 Incindiary 19 Other calls answered by the department numbered 29 calls for: Out of town assistance Oil Burners Building Fires Lost Persons Vehicles Drownings Dump Fires Auto Accidents Rescue and Firse Aid This year with all the set fires we were still able to keep the acreage to only 14.3 acres burned in the Town of Barnstable. After the two Hurricanes of last fall the two patrolmen cleared all the blocked woods roads in the town and have kept the equipment in fine condition. The patrol truck was put to a hard use during the . hurricanes and due to its age we asked for a new chasis at 219 the last special town meeting. The truck_has been delivered and will be ready around the first of the year. During the hurricanes and for some time after the de- partment worked with the other departments of the town in pumping cellars and giving electricity and water to those that were in need. I wish at this time to thank all the departments and- the men for their help this past year.

The total value. of ,shellfish taken from ,waters:.in the . town is as follows ..:Claws , . $. 75.00, Razor Clams 3,662.00 :Scallops - . - 172.00 Quahogs 7,622.00 Oyster's 640.00 . $12,171.00 Clams The clam situation in Barnstable Harbor is the same as in 1953, with very little seed showing. There is a small amount in other parts of the town, but the prospects for clams are not very good. Razor Clams There are about six men digging razor clams in Barn- stable Harbor.at times, and there is still an ample supply of them. Scallops The scallop season opened, October, 1, with very few scallops, and no seed showing. 223 Quahogs The year 1954 was fair for quahogs, and the price a little better with a fair amount of seed coming along. The selectmen opened an area iri Lewis Bay for dredging of qua- hogs and up to January 1, 1955, the men have taken out almost 100 bushels—all large. Oysters Most of.the oysters are taken out of the Centerville River and Bumps River, and are for family use. Propagation and Protection The town employed one man from May into December who picked up or destroyed 11,742 cockels, 2,598 sand col- lars and 3,598 horseshoe crabs. I recommend that this work be continued. Respectfully submitted, CHESTER S. JONES, Shellfish 'Constable. 224 Report of INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: The following report covers the activities of my office for the year of 1954. - I am happy to report that there'were no tuberculin reac- tors in our cattle'for the year. There continues to be no incidence of rabies, within the State, but this is all the more reason for reporting all dog bites promptly. All dog bite cases were followed up and released.at the end of 14 days. The cattle inventory showed: 180 Cows, 107 Heifers, 8 Bulls, 68 Swine, 36 ,Goats, 38 Horses and 30 Sheep. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT D. CHASE Animal Inspector 225 Report of THE BOARD OF HEALTH The year nineteen hundred and fifty-four saw the Board of Health perform its usual duties. The building programs seem to go on without abate- ment, posing many problems for the Plumbing Inspector. ' His report should be read with careful consideration. The disposal ground is in extremely good condition due not only to the method but more particularly to the fine work of the manager, Mr. George Peters. The restaurant situation, as well as the many complaints both real and fancied, have been conscientiously examined by Mr. Robert Chase. Mrs. Anna Caskin continues to work as clerk and we feel sure that all the citizens who have come in contact with her, have had their problems courteously directed to the proper channels. Dr. Theodore Nelson was to go into the military service in December and Dr. Benjamin hepnes of Hyannis, Massa- chusetts, volunteered to carry on the.clinic. The County Health Department has given us its usual kind cooperation. The Highway Department black topped the road into the disposal ground, for which we thank them. Our equipment roughed twelve miles'of road for the Fire Department and bull-dozer and loader removed and loaded loam and fill at the parking space in the rear of the. Town Building. The two bull-dozers also rough graded and loaded fill for the rotary circle and the North Street Ex- tension. This is in keeping with a policy of inter-depart- mental cooperation in an attempt to save the Town money. In April, the Town cooperated again in the mass chest x-ray program which we feel is a worthwhile project and should be continued periodically. 226 New quarantine regulations have been recommended by the State .of Massachusetts, bringing them up to date in special regard to the positive therapy with the antibiotics. The following communicable diseases were reported to, the Board of Health: Measles 41 Chicken pox 13 Mumps 50 Scarlet Fever 1 German measles 7 Whooping cough 2 Pulmonary Tuberculosis 5 'Meningitis 1 There were 43•dog bites reported. REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR There were 538 Plumbing Permits issued during the past year. This being considerably more than in 1953. Each year more and more of the older buildings are be- ing torn down and modern business buildings are being erected. This is a good trend as it enables us to do away with a great number of cesspools and septic tanks. As the law requires that these buildings be,connected to the Pub- lie Sewers. We also have had a number of requests to assist in laying out and approving disposal systems for the many motels on Routes 28 and 132. I would, at this time, advise anyone who is planning to build near any lake, marsh or Tidewaters, to get in touch with the Board of Health Office to see if there is a sewage problem in the area. In the past year, many of the prospec- tive builders of such property have had to go to heavy ex- pense to build an adequate sewage system. 227 I wish at this time to thank all the Town Departments and also the plumbers for the co-operation I have received from them this past year.

REPORT OF DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION " To the Barnstable Board of Health: The District Nursing Association again reports.a busy year filled with activities that include many visits in the home for bedside.'nursing and for giving many kinds of med- ication by hyprodermic. All visits of this nature are always subject io Physician's orders. We also have made home- visits to pre-natal patients and for infant and child welfare. Our total number of visits in the town_ of.Barnstable this past year is 3377. Our annual Eye.clinic for the school children was held at the Cape Cod Hospital in March with Dr. Karl Riemer in charge of examinations. Our well-child conferences have been held each month excepting August with a Pediatrician in attendance. Other available monthly clinics are the Chest clinic sponsored by the Barnstable County Hospital and the Crippled Children's clinic sponsored by the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health both held at the 229 Cape,Cod Hospital, we co-operate with these clinics in every way we can. In April, the Barnstable County Public Health Associa- tion, the Barnstable Board of Health and the District Nurs- ing Association joined forces to sponsor a Community Chest X-ray project,-this was well attended, 3712 persons being X-rayed. Our chief contribution to this project was in doing the follow-up work, contacting anyone'whose X-ray showed any abnormality and making arrangements for them to have further examination. We are glad of this opportunity to voice our apprecia- tion to all other Health workers in our town for their fine co-operation and helpfulness.

Another year has passed without the occurrence of any outbreaks of. preventable communicable disease in this County. As was to be expected, we experienced during the year an epidemic of measles and other minor diseases of childhood, such as, mumps and chickenpox were.prevalent. There were eleven cases of poliomyelitis reported, but none of these have shown any residual paralysis. A total of 643 food handling establishments were li- censed by Boards of Selectmen during the year. Routine in- spections of these establishments have been carried out. We have appreciated the cooperation of- licensing authorities who have withheld licenses of,establishments were equip- ment or sanitary maintenance has not met with the ap- proval of our inspectors. A program in the field of Mental Hygiene was insti- tuted during the year. In September, a Child Guidance Clinic was opened with sessions held every two weeks at the Cape Cod Hospital, Hyannis. This-clinic has been ioperated by a Child Psychiatrist and a Psychologist. General super- vision of the program is carried out by our Psyehiatrie'So- cial Worker. Children under the age of nineteen (19) years are admitted to the clinic on request of the family physician. Referrals to the service have come from many sources, and the number of cases referred has already severely taxed our personnel. 231 The work of our Dental Hygienist and nurse has been carried out in the usual manner.

Last year it was reported to you that there was pending in' the Supreme Judicial Court the. case of John J. Pender- gast vs. the Board of 2•ppeals of Barnstable. This case was an appeal to the Superior Court from its refusal to grant to the plaintiff a variance or special exception for,a beach house or bath house to be used. for commercial purposes at Craigville Beach in an area zoned for residence purposes. The Superior Court after a long trial ordered the Board to grant the variance and in behalf of,the Board the town ap- pealed the decision of the Court to the full bench of the Su- preme Judicial Court. The case was argued on February 2, 1954 and the de- cision was "rendered on July 6, 1954. The town counsel had , the very able assistance of J. Blake Thaxter who represented owners of residential property in the vicinity. It was our contention in arguing the case that the Superior Court had no greater authority than that of the local Appeal Board and was bound and should be bound by the same considera- tions. The decision of the Supreme Judicial Court was writ-: . ten by Chief Justice Qua and it reversed the decree of the Superior Court, thereby affirming the action of the Board of Appeals.. The decision was lengthy and covered thoroughly and clearly the subject matter. In fact this de- cision has cleared up in the minds of courts and lawyers, what had until that time been a matter of considerable con- fusion. The decision went much further than the contention of counsel by applying the constitutional principle of sep- aration of judicial and administrative authority. It stated 235 in substance that the administrative authority rested in the Board of Appeals in that its function was one of granting or denying special licenses for uses not otherwise permitted, which authority could not be exercised by a judicial body. As stated in the decision the law "does not permit the court to invade the field of administrative discretion". Also in this decision is a re-statement of the basic principle involved in zoning which is contrary to a movement now taking -place. The statement is quoted as follows: "Zoning has always been treated as a local matter. The creation and modification of zones are matters of municipal legislation. The board of ap- peals is a local board familiar with local conditions. It can deal understandingly with questions of vari- ance. A judge of a State wide court, perhaps spend- iiig only a few days or weeks in.a particular lo- cality, is hardly a suitable tribunal for such pur- poses." If there were removed from the quoted section the words "judge of a State wide court" and the word "board" substituted, one can readily see the result. Within a.short period of time after the decision in this case a similar application for a variance was heard by the Appeal Board, its membership having been changed, and a variance has been granted. An appeal has been taken to the Superior Court which will probably be tried in April. If the court upholds the action of the Appeal. Board there is a good chance that the Supreme Judicial Court will again be called upon to settle the same matter but in reversed circumstances. Your town counsel will then be opposed by Mr. Thaxter with whom he was previously associated in the trial and argument of the original case. During the year three cases involving sidewalk injury claims were settled for nominal sums. Three similar cases are now pending in the Superior Court, one in Worcester, another in Suffolk and the third in Barnstable. There are 236 three land damage cases awaiting trial and in addition there are two other suits in the,Superior Court brought against the town which fall in different categories. One is pending in Plymouth County, the other in Barnstable. The time spent on the town's legal work which is not reported here seems to have greatly increased in the past few years. This is, of course, the natural result of improve- went and growth and is reflected in all town departments. The town counsel occupies a position which brings him into association with a great many people representing this town in various offices on various committees, boards and commissions. It can truthfully be said that this town is for- tunate to be so represented. Respectfully submitted, KENNETH E. WILSON Town'Counsel 237 f Report of BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY To The Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The Housing Authority has continued operating its permanent 40 house Project 200-1 at Bearse's Pay for the year 1954. During the past year the Authority has been plagued with the usual troubles that come with a project of this size. A great deal of work has been done on the heating systems. Hot water heaters in most of the houses are at a point where they need replacing. A number have been re- placed in the past year. Sewerage has been another great problem, with many cesspools having to be pumped out periodically. It is contemplated that -some overflows will be installed this year. It is hoped that during the coming year painting will be done, both inside and outside, and oil-fired hot water heaters will be replaced by electric domestic hot water heat- ers. During the past year the Project has been filled most of the time. Vacancies have existed only in very few cases for short periods. Rent collections this past year have been very good, and we hope they will continue to be so. The Authority will continue in its untiring effort to keep the Project operating on a sound basis. A strenuous effort has been made to keep the project roads and grounds neat and clean and in good repair. 238 The Authority made payment to the Town of Barns- table in lieu of taxes for the year 1954 the sum of $1,440: As of December 31, 1954 there were 38 tenants at Pro- ject 200-1,.leaving two vacancies. The Admission and Con- tinned Occupancy Limits for the Project are $3,650 and $3,900 respectively, for families with less than three minor dependents, and $3,900 and $4,300 respectively for families with three or more minor dependents. The average monthly rent for the 18 three-bedroom houses is $43:50, and the aver- age monthly rent for the 22 two-bedroom houses'is $42.00 per month. A change in Manager .occurred this year. It was with regret that we accepted the resignation of Mr.,James F. McCluskey.who did an outstanding.job for us during his employ. Mr. McCluskey resigned because of ill health. In his place we engaged Mr.,Arthur W. Linnell, whom we feel, will also do an outstanding job for us. Respectfully submitted, STEPHEN B. O'BRIEN, JR.,, Chairman E. JOSLIN WHITNEY, Secretary FREDERICK T. JERAULD, Treasurer THOMAS MILNE, Asst. Treasurer JOSEPH L. GREGORY, Vice-Chairman 239 Report of THE BARNSTABLE PLAYGROUND AND RECREATION COMMISSION At the Annual Town Meeting of 1954, the sum of $19,575.00 was appropriated for recreation in the Town of Barnstable. Through extensive use of our various prop- erties, a comprehensive schedule of varied programs, finan- cial and advisory assistance to other recreational groups, this Commission has endeavored to serve all age groups in all the villages of the Town. Buildings, beaches, and areas within our jurisdiction were frequently inspected. During the winter months, the following organized ath- letic leagues were operated: Sport Age Group Number Teams Volleyball Men 8 Basketball Sr. Boys 6 Basketball Jr. Boys 8 Basketball Girls 6 Basketball Women 4 Table Tennis Men 4 In addition, recreational activities of all types were conducted in the villages. Financial assistance was given the Little League, Softball League, and the. Cotuit baseball team. A four-team baseball league for senior boys was op- erated during the summer. Many children and adults took advantage of our arts and crafts program at the Hyannis Center, where they learned the techniques of oil painting, ceramics, woodwork, jewelry work, painting and decorating trays and many household articles. Our square dance program has been extremely popular. During the summer, outdoor dances for children were held in Hyannis, and during the fall and winter months, they 240 were conducted at the high school gym with approximately 350 children in attendance. In addition, square dance in- struction was conducted in Cotuit, Marstons Mills, and Barnstable. Swimming and life saving instructions were conducted by qualified instructors at Hathaway's Pond, Joshua's Pond, Lewis Bay Beach, Veteran's Memorial Park and Ropes Beach. Special water carnivals consisting of races, novelty stunts and diving were conducted. West Barnstable Town Beach and Bodfish Park at Sandy Neck is one of our most important matters at the present time. It is attended by our summer visitors who come from all over the country to see our fine beach and sand dunes. We completed a comfort station with showers about mid-season. A life guard, caretaker, assistant, and collector were employed. Their efforts, along with the night patrol provided by the police department, eliminated the , vandalism so prevalent in the past. In fifty days $1,529.00 in parking fees were collected, which was equal to our per- sonnell expense for the period invol-ed. We will need in- creased parking areas and rooms for patrons to change their clothes; and we believe that a study should be made to determine the best method of future development of the area. We of the Playground and Recreation Commission would like to take this opportunity to thank all the town departments, the churches, and civic and community or- ganizations for their whole-hearted co-operation during the past year.

SCHULTZ 241 Report of DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES Town of Barnstable District Board: Selectmen—Victor F. Adams, Barn- stable; Howard B. Monroe, Yarmouth; Earle M. Davidson, Dennis. In my second annual report as your Director for Vet- erans' Services for the Town of Barnstable, I submit the following report touching on-the various phases of the work under this Department. Hospitalization This is still the paramount and I feel the most im- portant part of the work of this office. During the past year there have been several cases of veterans, World War. II and Korean, who have applied for hospitalization with back and stomach troubles of long standing that would seem to be service connected owing to the fact that they were treat- ed while in the service for these conditions. Lack of such records in their folders in the Veterans' Administration Office put the burden .of proof on the veteran. He must try and secure from former officers and buddies of his com- pany .or ship, affidavits of this treatment. This is sometimes impossible, but in the meantime the veteran needs hospital treatment. If there are beds available at Providence, Rhode Island, he is sent there; if not, he has to be entered in some hospital and later transferred to Providence by ambulance. Both of these expenses are charged to the town of,settle- ment of the veteran. As medical expenses increase this is one of the most important parts of.our work. 242 Education During this past session of Congress a very important bill relative to Korean veterans desirous of further educa- tion was passed. It extends the time of their opportunity to obtain schooling by one year. The new time is now three years from date of release from active duty. Loans The topportunities for home loans for World War II veterans C 41/2 percent will be up in July, 1957. Korean veterans have ten years after release from-active duty. General Information The Veterans' Administration Contact Representative, Mr. Ezra Swift, is at this office the first, second and third Thursday of each month from 10:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., so that veterans with Insurance, Hospital, Compensations, Pensions and Disability 'Claims questions may have them answered and claims filed direct with the Veterans' Admin- istration. Veterans and relatives may feel free to call for information or aid for sickness or benefits at any time. Tele- phone: Hyannis 688, Garden 8-4836 or Hyannis 1211-W. Again I wish to express my sincere thanks, as well as that of Mrs. Lillian Doane, to the several Town Depart- ' meats that have been of assistance to .our, work in this office during the past year. Every veteran should have his DD214 or release from active duty photostated. This serves a two-fold purpose. First, it gives this.office and the town a record of service which is-important in the future. Second, it protects the wife or family of the veteran if anything should_ happen to him for burial purposes and pension claims. This service of photostats is offered free of charge by the County of Barnstable at the County Court House in Barnstable, pro- vided veteran entered the service from this county. 243 Korean Bonus Over five hundred Korean Bonus applications have- been issued from this office for veterans in all parts of the State and most of these we have assisted the veterans in completing them.

For my duties as Agent I will report the number of cases on the benefits part of our department have greatly increased owing to the age of World War I veterans who have applied for their Veterans' Administration pensions and not old enough to collect from their Social Security. -Dependent parents of veterans of other wars have also ap- plied to us because of illness. Each year our work increases as the case load increases as each one varies according to home conditions. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS MI,LNE, Director and Agent. 244 Report of THE PARK COMMISSIONERS At the Annual Town Meeting the sum of $8800.00 was appropriated for the Park Department. This is the same amount that was appropriated in 1953. On the following pages by villages and parks is set forth the various improvements made during the past year, and certain recommendations for the year 1955. Ralph P. 1Bismore Memorial Park, Ocean Street, four additional finger piers were constructed and in use by the Fourth of July. At the 1953 Town Meeting $3500.00 was ap- propriated for this purpose with the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Public Works matching this amount. This brings the number .of finger piers built to nine providing berths for eighteen boats or double the previous facilities. The revenue to the town in 1954 from this area for dockage fees amounted to $2,037.55 which was remitted'to the Town Treasurer for credit to the General,Fund. New walks were built and paved at the north and .south ends of the park, shrubbery transplanted and an ad- ditional flower bed was also built. Veterans' Memorial Park, Ocean Street: The sum of $5000.00 was appropriated at the last town meeting,. the County contributed a like amount and the State contributed about 4000.00 making 'a total of $18,000.00 for the con- struction Hof a seawall; a jetty and restoring the beach. This work -was completed in November. It involved the construc- tion of 720 feet of precast concrete seawall (the first of its type to be built on Cape Cod), the construction of a stone 245 jetty 100 feet long and the placing of approximately 4500 cu. yds. of sand in front of the wall to make a beach. There is now needed necessary catch basins and pipe and an outfall header to take care of drainage and 4000 sq. yds. 16f paving for a new parking area. It is estimated this work can be done at a cost of $8500.00 and accordingly we have inserted an article in the warrant for an appropri- ation of this amount. We have continued our Water Safety program here in cooperation with the Playground and Recreation Commis- sion. Swimming classes and lifesaving instruction were car- ried on throughout the season by the lifeguard on duty. Chester Park, Centerville: Due to their growth creating a traffic hazzard we have removed a bed of shrubs and will replace them in the spring with a bed of flo«-ers. Elizabeth Lowell Ball Field, Cotuit: With the coopera- tion of the Highway Department 800 yds. of soil was cart- ed in and spread in the outfield. This was then graded, fer- tilized and seeded. There is a need here for the improve- ment of the parking area and the grounds around the en- trance. In addition the following areas were maintained as required: Ridgewood Park Hyannis Park Square Hyannis Memorial Park Centerville Soldiers Square Centerville Coddington Park Centerville Wequaquet Lake Park Centerville 112emorial Park Osterville World War I Park Osterville 246 Cotuit Memorial Park Cotuit Lovell's Pond Park Santuit Crocker Park West Barnstable Ball Field West Barnstable Bodfish Park West Barnstable John Jenkins Wildlife Reservation West Barnstable With the exception of Veterans' Memorial Park in Hy- annis and Elizabeth Lowell Ballfield in Cotuit all areas un- der our care have been improved where feasible to the point where the work of the Department has now been re- solved primarily to a maintenance problem. CHARLES N. SAVERY, Chairman FRANK C. HINCKS, JR. HERBERT E. COOK 247 REPORT OF WELFARE AGENT January-13, 1955 To the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare Barnstable, Massachusetts ' I submit, herewith, the report of the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare for the year ending Dedember 31, 1954. Each year the administration of Public Assistance. be- comes more and more complicated. Laws passed by the legislature pertaining to Public Assistance now requires.a more specialized staff .of employees to interpret and carry out these laws. The services of the Town Counsel are re- quired more and more. A few years ago there was very little need of the advice of an attorney by the Welfare Board in any city or town, but today with the placing and releasing of liens as a means .of recovery of aid given to a recipient and the legal interpretation of the rules and regu- lations require consultation with the Town Counsel fre- quently. This year Chapter 556, of the General Laws, an act relative to the enforcement of the support of dependents Amended Chapter -273A by, striking out the chapter and substituting a new chapter. The new act transfers the juris- diction of such cases from the Probate Court to the District Courts. This law places the responsibility for the enforce- ment of a support order on the Probation Officer of the Dis- trict Court. This was a welcome change since the Probate Court has no Probation Officer to enforce such _support orders. In January a regulation intensified services to Aid to Dependent Children clients called for a home visit each month, formerly quarterly visits were sufficient. This meant added work for the Social Workers. 248 On July 1, 1954, a new Medical Care Plan was put into operation. This plan discontinued the payments for medi- cal services and surgery in non-profit charitably incorpor- ated hospitals in the Commonwealth and this included the Cape Cod Hospital. This regulation did not meet with. the approval Hof the local doctors as you well can imagine.. The - plan was rejected by the Barnstable County Medical Associ- ation, although they are now complying with some parts of the-plan. They are still displeased with the Plan as a whole. Although the Board of Public Welfare or their Agents had no to do with the formation of the Plan, they do have to administer it with no reservations.'This . brought about the need for additional help and the appoint- ment of a Medical Consultant by the Board and many un- pleasant discussions with the medical profession. The Plan also effected the Standards of Assistance with regard to boarding in the home of a non-legally liable relative, non- relative, licensed boarding homes and licensed nursing homes, and the rates allowed, were not acceptable to them. This did not lessen the pressure we were under at the time. One of the General Laws that were amended during the year gave the power to certify the per diem rate in hos- pitals, etc., based on the per capita cost to the Commissioner of Administration, he to issue a list of the reimbursemable rates once a year. The rate at the Tewksbury State Hospital decreased from $24.8 i per week to $23.65 per week. Start- ing.January 1, 1955, the approved rate at Barnstable County Hospital increased to $13.89 per day from $10.00 per day Mass. General Hospital increased to $21.63 per day from $14.00 per day Mass. Eye & Ear Infirmary increased to $18.43 per day from $14.00 per day Cape Cod Hospital remained the same as last year $14.00 per day. These high medical costs tend to keep the cost of Public Assistance on the upward trend. 249 The increase that some of our recipients received in their Old age & Survivors' Insurance in October did save $278.60 per month in our Old Age Assistance payroll, since any increase in Old Age & Survivors' Insurance is a resource and has to be deducted from Old Age Assistance budgets. As I started to prepare my budgets for 1955, I had one consolation when I looked at the expenditures for the City of Boston for October 1954 when the city spent $2,554,392.00 for Public Assistance in one month. They hav- ing 54,296 recipients receiving assistance in one of the four categories—Old Age Assistance, Aid to Dependent Children, Disability Assistance or General Relief. The increase in our case load and added work in ad- ministration has necessitated the hiring of an additional Social Worker and a Junior Clerk to 'conform with the Social Security Act. We have the Clerk now and will have the Social Worker as soon as we receive the Register from the Civil Service Commission. The personnel of the Department for 1954 consisted of the following: Jan. 1, 1954 Dec. 31, 1954 Agent 1 1 Social Worker 2 2 Senior Clerk 1 1 Junior Clerks 2 3 General Relief Cd'-' a� oro o m C°U d Pi fa U_ G HZ' F L 58 109 83 141 90 51 78 $37,753.84 Other Towns, Administrative 10.041.61 Tiotal Paid $47,795.45 250 INFIRMARY (Lombard Home) Women Men Inmates at the Home, 1/1/54 7 4 Inmates Admitted during year 1 2 Inmates Discharged during year 1 • 1 Inmates at the home, 12/31/54 7 5 ' Inmates days in Home-4,055 days.

We did have to make some repairs to the exterior and the interior of the Home 251 needed painting in some of the rooms. The water pump which we depend ion to supply the water for the Home out- lived its usefulness and a new one had to be purchased. All infirmaries, boarding and nursing homes in the Commonwealth are now under the supervision of the Massa- chusetts Department of Public Health and require a license to operate. One of their requirements forced us to either install a pasteurizing plant to pasteurize the 12 or 14 quarts of milk that the cow was giving or get rid of the cow and did the latter. This means that the milk used at the Home now has to be supplied by a local dealer. ,OLD AGE ASSISTANCE 0 cam oro o v, 02 a; 231 48 279 49 230 $238,416.19 Cost of cases in other towns 4,234.91 Cost of administration 10,578.60 TOTAL $253,229.70 U. S. Grants and U. S. Grants Administrative are de- ductible from the above amount. During the year we had as many-239 cases on our rolls with an average for the year of 230 cases. One would naturally think that the new cases that we put on our rolls would be persons who have just passed the minimum age of 65 years, but this is not true, many are persons over 70 years who have come to the.end of the rope as far as supporting themselves and circumstances necessitate their seeking some sort of assistance.

This continues until the child reaches his eighteenth birthday. During the summer vacation the older children sometimes find employment and 60% of their earnings is used as a re- source as long as they are employed.

Any person over eighteen years of age who is physically disabled may qualify for this category 253 of assistance when approved by a Medical Review Board in Boston. Since this is a new category of relief, the case load is on the upward trend and no doubt will continue. NET COST OF DISABILITY ASSISTANCE TO THE TOWN $7,494.99 RECOVERIES During the year recoveries were made in the following categories: Old Age Assistance $9,443.78 General Relief 89.50 TOTAL .$9,533.28 The Department ended the year with the following bal- ances returned to Excess and Deficiency Fund: Old Age Assistance $513.80 Aid to Dependent Children 545.83 Disability Assistance 164.95 General Relief $3,146.37 (McGrotty Fund) 322.91 3,469.28 TOTAL $4,693.8.6 I wish to extend my sincere appreciation to the Honor- able Board of Selectmen, Town Officials and Heads of De- partments, members of the staff of this Department and to the Police Department and private agencies and individuals for their cooperation and assistance during the year. Respectfully .submitted, JOHN J. LEVINE, SR. JJL:mdm Agent. 254 REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS Board of Selectmen, Town Hall, Hyannis, Massachusetts Re: Barnstable Board of Appeals —'1954 Report. Gentlemen: Since taking over the chairmanship of the Board of Appeals in May of 1954, a total of twenty-one petitions have been received, which brings the 1954 total up to thirty-two. Filing fees amounted to $105.00. The expenditure for advertising was $91.16. From my experience, the number of letters sent out on .each appeal, including notices and copies of decisions to' interested parties, averages twenty; the stenographer's time involved in the average case averages three hours; the cost of advertising averages just under $4.50. I wish to make two recommendations: 1. That filing fees be increased to $7.50 2. That the entire filing fee be allocated to the chair- man, which would roughly offset his advertising and stenographic expenses. The Town, then, would not have to appropriate more than one hundred to one hundred fifty dollars each year to cover the printing coAs of stationery and forms. A list of 1954 petitions is enclosed.

Greenbriar somewhat subdued in the last two years, took on new vigor. In places the paths were bogs, and while the hurricanes did not uproot trees they left broken branches hanging and covered the ground with litter. Since the New Year the Park Department has given time to wrestling with green- briar, has let in sunshine where the paths were wettest, and, burned much of the hurricane litter. Mr. Royce Baker, foreman, has promised to set witchhazel and hazelnut bush- _ e.s from his own land. We watch the hepaticas with interest. They have Sur- vived two winters but put out very fragile bloom last spring. In a,new location they made-healthy growth through the summer and with winter protection we hope this spring may prove unfounded the belief that hepaticas will not flourish in Cape soil. Native mallow also was given a new location as its summer bloom was very scant. Mountain. laurels like the soil and covered themselves with bloom in June, deep pink in full sunlight, pure white in the shade. The dogwoods had scattered bloom for the first time. Jack-in-the-pulpit, cardinal flower, meadow rue and colum- bine all are increasing, and last spring's setting of pitcher plant looks happy. Wherever undergrowth is cleared, hollies show themselves, some two inches, some. a foot high, with taller ones where they have had a chance to grow. In twenty-. five years the field may well have a holly'plantation. Each spring brings pleasant surprises. Shinleaf flower- ing in one of the paths was protected before a sheet of it was noticed in bloom off at one side. There a gift of pippsis- sewa, its close kin, has been set. 257 Among the disappointments is the failure of ladies slippers to establish themselves, and only the green-fringed and the orange orchids have survived. New gifts of sassa- fras have replaced those that did not live. The falling of the leaves showed many bird's nests near the paths, three redwing's nests almost within arm's reach of one another. It has been pleasant to have more bird watch- ers visit the Reservation and the birds are very thankful for winter food provided by the Hyannis Garden Club.

Northeast Air- lines increased their passenger traffic by 157o plus during the year. The Cape & Islands Flight Service increased 20ofo in passengers. The Open House held on October 2 and 3 was a success, being visited by 750 or more during these two days. On the Airfield at this time was a Coast Guard Albotross, also an Air Force Twin Beech flown down by Brigadier.General Hal- stead. Northeast Airlines sent a Convair here, and it made three trips around the Cape. There were also some interest- ing model planes on display. An added attraction was'an exhibition of sport cars on the ramp, this display included 15 or 20 different models. A new Bulk Plant was installed by the Texas Company, with six three thousand gallon tanks for 80-90 and 100 octane aviation gasoline. The plant is located off Mary Dunn Road and away from the tie-down area and the hangar area. The parking lot at the Administration Building has been paved and in the spring parking spaces will be marked off with white paint. This,is an improvement that will be ap- preciated by the many users of the area. . Respectfully submitted, Barnstable Airport Commission. ARTHUR F. CLARKE, Chairman LOUIS R. ADAMS BENJAMIN W.

MARITIME PROPERTY Report of the Committee appointed by the Moderator of Town Meeting March 2, 1954 in accordance with the vote on-Article 46 in the warrant: "To see what use the Town will vote for the so-called "Maritime Academy" land and what use or disposition it will vote for the buildings thereon, and what sums it will raise and appropriate. for such purposes." The action on the article was as follows: "Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to continue the committee appointed by the Moderator until the.next annual Town Meeting to be held in March, 1955. It was further voted to adopt-the recommendations of 'the committee on the Maritime Property as follows 1. The-removal of all portable buildings immediately west of the brick dormitory to provide for an extension of the presently owned parking lot at the rear of the Town Building. 2. An entrance and exit shall be provided on South Street to this new parking area, but there shall be no new or additional entrances or exits on Main Street. ' 3. Under the advice and approval of the Board "iof Selectmen, consideration be given first, to any department of the Town desiring the above mentioned buildings and, second, to any civic organizations that may apply for them. 4. The grounds as described in the deed under Parcel 1, but excepting that portion spoken of in the first recom- mendation above be developed into a simple beauty spot 263 and recreation area under the jurisdiction and manage- ment of the Board of Selectmen. The development of these grounds to include suitable additional, lighting, benches, tables, for the comfort and relaxation of our public. This area to be completed and opened to the public on or before July 1, 1954. 5. The buildings formerly occupied by the so-called "Teachers' College of the State" to remain in "Status Quo" until it is absolutely determined that the Maritime Academy definitely will not return to Hyannis. These buildings and all other land in this property be under the maintenance and supervision of the'Board of Selectmen. It was further voted to the extent that the Selectmen be, and they hereby are, authorized and directed in the name and behalf of the Town of Barnstable to lease to the Cape Cod Art, Association, Inc., at a rental of One Dollar ($1.00) per year for a term of three years, commencing April 1, 1954, the buildings known as the Captain's House and Barn located on the so-called "Maritime Academy" premises to be used for the purposes of conducting an art gallery, art exhibitions, music concerts, historical exhibits and the giving of art and music instruction, together with such land under and around those buildings having access to Main Street as the Selectmen deem adequate for the pur- pose; provided the said Art Association expends up to Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) in the installation Hof a new heating system in the Captain's House under the direction and supervision of the Selectmen with all interior mainte- nance, heating and public utility costs to be borne by the Art Association during the term of its lease or occupancy of the premises." Including considerable independent thought 'on and consideration of this problem, your committee has held two lengthy meetings to deliberate and formulate its recom- mendations. The meeting, January 20, 1955, a public hearing, pro- vided an opportunity for the voters and non-profif organiza- 264 tions of the Town of Barnstable to express their views in- dividually. Speaking at this meeting were several individ- uals as well 'as representatives of the Barnstable Board of Selectmen, The Barnstable Townies Athletic Association, The Cape Cod Conservatory, The Hyannis Board of Trade, The National Guards and the Playground and Recreation Commission. After careful serious - deliberation, your committee therefore recommends that: 1. No effort be made to demolish any buildings at the present time. 2. These buildings and all other land in this property be under-the maintenance and supervision of the Board of Selectmen. 3. This or a similiar committee be continued to act in the capacity of an advisory committee to the Selectmen. 4. These buildings be used for any expansion of the Town Office Building as may be necessary. Your committee strongly urges the Selectmen to, take means and transfers as many of the departments as it deems advisable 5. In the interests of economy, that the Selectmen be' empowered to install an ,oil burner in each of the buildings. 6. Storage in these buildings be limited only to oc- cupants. 7. Approve the construction of a so-called shell—the location of which to .be left to the discretion of the Sele.ct- men. 8. There be no other construction of buildings at this time. 9. •Suitable lighting with the installation of sufficient concealed floodlights and small lamp posts at proper in- tervals throughout the grounds. 265 10. The use of a part of the Dormitory Building—pos- sibly the basement and first floor— be permitted the Barn- stable Townies Athletic Association under the supervision of the Board of Selectmen or any supervisory board as they may appoint. 11. The sale of property on the south side. of South Street to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or its nominee as per plan on file in Town Office,with certain restrictions. a. Construction on buildings shall be started with-_ in a period of not more than three (3) years and/or at the expiration of this period, said land shall be trans- ferred back to the Town free and clear. b: If buildings are constructed .on property when the State ceases to conduct it for the purposes origin- ally acquired, this land shall revert to the Town of Barnstable with all the buildings thereon intact and free and clear. 12. In the interest of future advancement, steps be taken to have a master plan of property drawn profession- ally .for'the layout and landscaping of a village park. Respectfully submitted by WALTER B.

She will be . long and fondly remembered by her pupils and fellow-work- ers as a conscientious, faithful and congenial person with a genuine and fascinating sense of humor. Her sincere inter- est in her work, her willingness to devote unselfish efforts to it, and her remarkable skill in teaching has made her career outstanding. Although it is with regret that we recognize her re- tirement, we wish to record our true appreciation of her long, efficient services and to indicate our very best wishes for many rich, leisure years of good health and happiness. 270 Report of the School Committee To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: The School Committee takes pleasure in presenting its annual report for the year 1954. The year just past has been an extremely busy one for your School Committee. We have held thirty-six regular and special meetings during the year, and sub-committees have met many more times in connection with various school problems in all the precincts of the town. The first big project of the year was to attempt to low- er the estimated cost of the New High School-building as requested at the Town Meeting of last March. After many meetings with the architect, it was found that without weakening the entire project, the estimated cost could only be lowered by $100,000:The first of June at a Special Town Meeting, this building was accepted by the Town and your committee has been working arduously.on this project since that time. While progress has been slow, we feel that we can still meet our deadline of September 1, 1956 for. com- pletion of this building. Our next special project was the conversion of the as- sembly hall at the Osterville School into two classrooms and the remodeling of a large basement room into an assembly hall. This work was completed during the summer vaca- tion and was ready for use at the start of school in the fall. The School Committee has been working also on pre- liminary plans and locations for two new elementary schools, one in the Barnstable-West Barnstable area and one in Co- tuit. With committees from these two villages, sites have been selected and school plans have been developed for pre- sentation at the annual Town Meeting. As the. townspeople of these villages know, these two schools are immediately necessary due to the growth of the student population and present inadequate school facilities for their children. Although a great deal of time has been spent on new school buildings, the regular business of the. School Com- 271 mittee has not been neglected. A general raise of $200 has been granted to the entire school personnel. Even though this will cause an increase in.our general school costs, the School Committee .feels it must maintain a salary level at least commensurate with that of other towns our size in order to maintain and continually improve our teaching per- sonnel. Several new innovations and improvements in the school system have been introduced this year. In October a voluntary insurance program was initiated. Under this plan, the student is insured against accident both during school hours and in transit for a cost of $1.25 per child. An additional bus route through Osterville and Centerville has been added to the transportation system to alleviate the overcrowding of last year: In the Music Department, a new part-time instructor was hired and a series of music appre- ciation lectures for junior high school pupils was under- taken. The series consists of three concerts presented by outstanding musicians from New York and are designed to awaken the student's interest in instrumental music and mu- sic appreciation. The School Committee again wishes to acknowledge its appreciation to the School Department personnel for its loyal and earnest cooperation throughout the year. We also wish to express our gratitude to all organizations and in- dividuals who have contributed to the successful operation of our schools and particularly to the committees of citizens from Barnstable-West Barnstable and from Cotuit for their complete and whole-hearted cooperation with the Committee on the elementary school projects. Respectfully submitted, P. GORDON NELSON, Chairman, JEAN G. HINKLE RUBEN E. ANDERSON CARL F. SCHULTZ JOHN E. MARTIN, JR. 272 Report of the Superintendent of Schools Since an annual report of a Superintendent of Schools cannot possibly deal with the complete educational program of a school system which has grown as large as the Barn- stable Public Schools, it has been decided to devote this year's report to a consideration of certain questions which have been asked by townspeople during the year. Naturally teachers and administrators are asked,many questions. This report deals with only a few of the more significant, which have been selected because it is believed they will be of interest to a great many citizens. Q. How is spelling taught in our schools? Ans. In' our school system we aim to teach those words which pupils will use, and strive to develop,a "spell- ing consciousness". Each child must be aware of every word he writes and must learn to check the spelling in all his written work. An established pattern for the study of spelling words, devised by a group of Barnstable teachers is used. The method used, which involves eight steps follows: Step 1. Listen to the word. Step 2. The children pronounce the word carefully as they look at the word. Step 3. Define the word. What does the-word mean? (Why do we need to learn how to spell it?) Step 4. Analyze the word. How many syllables are there—are the vowels long or short—are there any silent letters—what are the diffi- 273 cult parts—are there any little words in the word to be studied? Sound the word—say it slowly. Step 5. Spell the vTord—aloud—to yourself. Close your eyes—spell it. Step 6. Write the word—in the air—on paper—oom- pare with the word on the board. Step 7. Use the word in a sentence. Step 8. Write the word when dictated with the other words of the spelling lesson. T, Q. Why do we teach slant lettering in the first and second grades rather than cursive writing? Ans. The teaching of slant lettering (sometimes called printing) is better adapted to the maturity of six and seven-year-old children than cursive writing. Further- more, for the child beginning to learn to read, slant lettering is apt to cause less confusion in the child's mind as it is very similar to the printing which he en- counters in his reading. The transition from lettering to writing in the third grade is easily made as many of the letter forms are the same except for the con- necting strokes. , Thus our pupils are equipped to do both forms of writing. In this connection, it is interesting to note that some employers insist that their employees use lettering. The graduates of our school system should be able to use either lettering or cursive writing, whichever is required by the situation in which he find himself. Q. When is the alphabet taught in the Barnstable Public Schools? 274 Ans. The A B C's are taught at that time in a pupil's de- velopment when the alphabet becomes of constructive service to him in beginning a program ,of readiness for simple dictionary work and when he uses the letters as a means of communication—when he learns to spell. These learnings are introduced and emphasized when the child has made a good beginning in reading— usually in the second grade. ' Actually the learning of the A B C's is a skill that is of little value in learning to read or in learning any of the subjects taught at school entrance. There is evidence that learning this skill in a purely mechan- ical way may•interfere with a good beginning in first grade reading instruction. There are many more useful- and important skills with which 6-year-olds must be supplied which will prepare them constructively for learning the subjects taught in school. Reading calls for the recognition of the printed sym- bol form of a word as it stands before the eyes on a printed page. Reading is concerned with building eye span and interpreting word symbols in thought units. To ask a child to learn to manipulate the individual isolated letters of the alphabet too soon conflicts with the establishment of these reading habits and can be very harmful in some instances. n Q. Do you think my child well be able to play well enough to warrant my investing in a musical instrument for him? Ans. It is very difficult to tell at the very beginning wheth- er a child will be able to play well enough to warrant ' the expenditure of a large sum of money for the pur- chase of an instrument. Through the cooperation of instrument houses, we have a trial period of 90 days, during which time we can obtain such information. 27-0 0 During the trial period, the pupil has the use of a new instrument for a low rental fee. If we find at the end of three months that he is not doing well .enough to warrant continuing with it, the instrument may be re- turned. If he is doing well enough, the parents may de- cide to purchase the instrument, in which case the rental fee is applied to the purchase price. Q. If, my child takes instrumental music lessons, will he be able to play in the Band? Ans. After a pupil has shown suitable proficiency in his in- strument, he may play in the Town of Barnstable Elementary Schools Band. When he goes to Barnstable High School, he is eligible to try out*for the High School Band. It is hoped that by the time the New High School is ready for occupancy, we shall have a Junior Band encompassing the seventh and eighth grades. Q. What is the purpose of the Health Program in the schools? Ans. Health is a primary objective of modern education. In all of its efforts the school must consider the total personality of each student, and the mutual inter- dependence of physical, mental and emotional health. Therefore our school system is working toward the goal that the graduates of the Barnstable Schools must not only be well informed—they must, be healthy, happy and confident citizens. 276 Q. What functions are performed by the School Health services? Ans. To the School Health services belong the functions performed in making health appraisals; in the pre- vention and correction of physical defects; in secur- ing'immunization of children; in daily observation of children for signs of coinmunicable.diseases and in the, handling of emergency illness and accidents. State law requires that school children be given physi- cal examinations four times during Grades 1 through' 12. We comply.with this law by having the school physician give examinations in Grades 1, 3, 7, and 11. Q. Has any new health facility been made available, to the parents and schools in the Town of Barnstable this year? Ans. Yes. Undcr the supervision of the County Health De- partment the Barnstable County Mental Health Ser- vice has been organized. This service has been estab- lished to help children from infancy to the age of nineteen with emotional and behavior problems. Q. Who sponaors the School Dental Clinic and what type of work is accomplished in this clinic? Ans. The School Dental Clinic, sponsored by, the Board of Health, is conducted at the Hyannis Elementary School. The following is a summary of work accom- plished: Number of clinics conducted .................................... 37 Number of examinations ................................................ 1319 Number of temporary fillings .................................... 167 Number of permanent fillings .................................... 305 277 Number of temporary extractions ........................ 61 Number of permanent extractions ........................ 8 'Total number of treatments ....................................... 541 Total number of children' treated ........................ 328 Clinics were held on Tuesdays and Thursdays—March 9 to December 23, 1954. Q. How much sleep should elementary school children have? Ans. A committee of teachers recently studied this question. The committee found that health authorities suggest that children in Grades 1 and 2 should have approxi- mately 12 hours sleep; those in Grades 3 and 4, 11 hours; and those in Grades 5 and 6, 10 hours. Q. Why are school authorities and teachers interested in the amount of sleep children have? Ans. Learning takes place more easily when the body and brain are rested. School authorities are interested in the physical as well as the mental growth of children. Proper amounts of sleep contribute to the develop- went of both. Q. How is arithmetic taught in the Barnstable elementary schools? Ans. The teaching of arithmetic follows rather closely the suggestions of the Massachusetts State Department of Education as outlined in its Curriculum Guides for elementary schools. As this matter was dealt with in some detail in last year's School Report, readers are 278 referred to that publication for a more complete dis- cussion of .this matter. Q. Throughout the country there is a vast 'increase in school population. Is such an increase predicted for the Town of Barnstable and what plans have been pro- jected to-take care of a possible increase in school population? Ans. The Educational Service Associates of Medford, Mass-achusetts have,made a careful survey of school popu- lation trends in the Town of Barnstable. Likewise, your own School Department has made a similar sur- vey. Both agree that there will be a large increase in school population in the Town of Barnstable. To meet this increasing enrollment, an addition of four rooms has been made at the Osterville School, a 20 room school has been erected at Hyannis, a new seven-room school has been constructed in Center- ville, money has been appropriated for a new Barns- table High School, plans have been made for a new eight-room school in Cotuit and a 13-room school•in Barnstable-West Barnstable. Appropriation for the proposed Cotuit and Barnstable- West Barnstable Schools will be asked for in March, 1955 Town Meeting. If the town is going to take care of its increase in school enrollment, these new schools should be built. Present plans call for the completion of the new Barn- stable High School by September 1956. This school will house grades 9-12. The seventh and eighth grades will be located in the present high school as well as the sixth grades. As new elementary schools are com- pleted, it will be possible to move the sixth grades back to the various village schools. 279 Q. How does Barnstable High School compare with other high schools in New England? Ans. To answer this question, we present the results of the Iowa Tests of Educational Development which were administered to pupils in Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 in October, 1954. The results are presented in the form of Tables. By way of explanation, it should be stated that a per- centile rank (outlined in the left hand column of each table) indicates the percentage of New England high schools in the table that Barnstable High School sur- passed in the various tests. Thus Table I may be read as follows: Barnstable High School with an average score of 12.4 in Test 1 (Basic Social Concepts) surpassed 91 percent of the 70 New England schools administering the tests in Grade 9. The tests included in the battery follow: Test 1—Basic Social Concepts Test 2—Natural Science Background Test 3—Correctness of Expression Test 4—Quantitative Thinking Test 5—Interpretation-Social Studies Test 6—Interpretation-Natural Sciences Test 7—Interpretation-Literature Test 8—General Vocabulary Comp.—Composite score on Tests 1-8 (1-8) Test 9—Use of Sources of Information It is interesting to note that the ninth grade of Barnstable High School did better than 95 percent of the New England high schools in the composite score, the Tenth Grade surpassed 80 percent of, the schools, the Eleventh Grade exceeded 82 percent and the Twelvth Grade was superior to 83 percent of the schools tested. 280 The fiftieth percentile, of course, is average as that is the score at which as many schools are. above you as below you.

Can Barnstable High School prepare its graduates for any college in the country? Ans. Yes. Graduates of our high school have gone directly to such outstanding institutions of higher learning as Harvard, Dartmouth, M. I. T., Bowdoin, Brown, Smith 282 and Wellesley. Many of,these graduates of Barnstable High School have been on the Deans List in the col- leges of their choice. In the. latter pages of this report is appended a survey of graduates of the Class of 1954. The institutions of higher learning which these Barnstable High,School graduates are attending is outlined in this survey. :T Q. What do we mean by group guidance in Grades 7 and 8? Ans. Group guidance at Barnstable High School is organ- ize l ,classruum instruction in the educational and per- sonal-social-problems of youth. Its primary objective is to meet those needs of pupils which are ordinarily not dealt with in the regular classroom situation. Since emphasis'is constantly being placed on self-appraisal and reappraisal, pupils have an opportunity to get to know and to understand themselves better. Q. What are the aims of the seventh-grade guidance classes? Ans. The aims of the guidance program in grade seven are•: 1. To help the pupil become oriented to the•new school through a survey of his physical surroundings and a study of the rules and regulations of Barnstable High School. 2. To help the pupil learn and practice more effective methods of study. 3. To help the pupil learn to get along better with himself and his associates by studying his inner human drives and emotions and how these can be kept under control. 283 Q. What are the aims of the eighth-grade guidance classes? Ans. The eighth-grade guidance course has as its primary objective helping the individual choose a course of study for grade nine wisely. Through a carefully or- ganized series of lessons each pupil is given an oppor- tunity to appraise his strengths and weaknesses with respect to his aptitudes; achievements, and interests. In addition to learning about himself, the pupil is given information about the major fields of work and the qualifications required for success in each. He learns, also, about the Courses of Study offered at Barnstable High School and the various subjects which make up these courses. He has an opportunity to get first-hand information from talks given by senior rep- resentatives from the various courses and through class visitations to the Shops. Then, as a result of his own self-appraisal as well as a reappraisal of himself in the light of objective re- sults obtained from standardized tests and inventories, he is better able to choose a course of study for grade nine wisely. Q. Is there a need for group guidance classes in the senior high school? Ans. A few senior-high-school students have themselves ex- pressed the need for organized group guidance classes in occupational and educational information. This would save valuable counselor-time since much routine information could be disseminated in groups rather than on an individual basis. That phase of the guidance program will be given careful consideration by the Guidance Department in its over-all plans for the fu- ture, when we hope the facilities required for such a program will become available. 284 Q. Does the counselor interview every student in the high school? Ans. Our aim is to have every student in the high school interviewed to determine his educational and vocation- al ambitions, and to help him plan his high school ` program with these aims in mind. Due to the increased enrollment and the limited counseling-time available to most of the guidance staff, this aim has not always been fully realized. However all students professing a need for help have been interviewed. Last year all students in grades seven, eight, nine and twelve were interviewed at least once, as were most of those in grades ten and eleven. Those students whose• problems warranted special attention were in- terviewed several times during the year. Q. What is our testing program? .Ans. Since the primary objective of any testing program is to help study the individual throughout his school career, it is interesting to note that all students who are products of the Barnstable School System have in their guidance folders by the time they reach the seventh grade,the results of at least two tests of mental ability as well as six yearly results of standardized achievement tests. In the high-school, additional tests of mental ability are given to those in grades 7, 8, and 11, while achieve- ment tests in reading and arithmetic are given to all seventh and eighth graders and The Iowa Tests of Educational Development are given to all students in grades 9-12. 285 In addition, all eighth graders have an opportunity to discover their interests through the Kuder. interest inventory which is taken in that ,grade. Also, apti- tude tests are used with individuals or. with small groups to determine their special abilities, such as mechanical, clerical or musical. Q. What use is made of the test results? Ans. The cumulative results of these tests indicate the stu- dent's educational potentialities and achievements and are constantly used by the counselor as he helps the individual plan his course of study in high school and as he assists him in making plans for the future. Whenever an in.dividual's ability seems out-of-line with achievement, the counselor tries to determine the rea- sons for the discrepancy. Sometimes additional testing is necessary. At all times, however,the aim of the coun- selor is to guide the student toward the optimum de- velopment of his potentialities while at the same time respecting the student's right to make his own de- cisions. Q. My child is planning to attend college. What courses in mathematics should he, take? Ans. The courses in college preparatory mathematics that your child should take depend upon many factors among which are: 1. The career he intends to follow. 2. The college he expects to attend. 3. His mathematical ability. 4. His mathematical interests. 5. How well prepared he wishes to be to live in our Atomic Age. 286 6. How rich a cultural background he desires for himself. The youth, because of his inexperience and immaturity needs careful guidance from his parents, counsellor and teachers in order to make the wisest selection possible. First, we suggest that'he lists the colleges that will train him for his chosen career or, if he has no definite career in mind, the colleges that his financial means and academic abilities will allow him to attend. Secondly, he should consult the catalogues of these schools to find what the mathematical requirements are for entrance and what College Board examinations or other tests he will be expected to take in these $olds. The student will find a complete set of college catalogues in our guidance office;-and the administra- tion, guidance counselors, and mathematical teachers will be only too happy to assist him in his choices. In general, we find most colleges require at least one year of algebra and one year of plane geometry for en- trance. Therefore, if a student selects the College Course in our school, he must take both of these sub= jects. In the third year advanced algebra is offered,and in the fourth year solid geometry and plane trigonometry. If the college of his choice requires these subjects for entrance, then the student must take them; otherwise his selection depends upon factors three through six in paragraph one. We further recommend that any student with good mathematical ability and good achievecent in algebra I and plane geometry should elect at least algebra II in addition to the first two years of mathematics. We consider this •a minimum requirement in this highly specialized mathematical and scientific age. We should also like to point out that all five mathema- tical subjects in the College Course are open to any 287 high school student with good mathematical ability after consultation with the,proper school authorities. Q: What College Board examination in mathematics must my child take? Ans. Again this depends upon the college. Thus, careful study of the individual catalogues is most necessary so that the candidate will be prepared to meet the re- quirements. The mathematical sections of the College Board Exam- inations are three-fold: 1. The mathematical aptitude section. This covers algebra I and plane geometry, All stu- dents are required to take this part, and some colleges require candidates to take only this sec- tion. 2. The intermediate mathematical section. This test requires the study of algebra II. 3. The advanced mathematical section. This test requires the study of solid geometry and plane trigonometry. Some colleges definitely state that their'candidates must take either (2) or (3). In some cases a student may like to select (2) or (3) as one of his three major subject fields. We stress again that a student with good mathematical ,ability should take as many of the available courses as possible. For example, a course in algebra II in the jun- ior year will review very thoroughly for him his al- gebra I, and a course in solid geometry in the senior year will review very well his plane geometry and thus fit him very thoroughly for the scholastic aptitude section of the College Board Examinations. 288 Q. What new materials or methods have been introduced- into the English department? Ans. A. Reading Comprehension. The Science .Research Associates program for the improvement of reading has been introduced into the seventh and eighth grades. This program stres- ses systematic practice to increase reading rate and comprehension. By keeping an individual Pro- ' gress Folder, the pupil himself becomes conscious of the progress he has made. The results have been gratifying in both grades. B. Composition The amount of written composition required for each grade has been increased. Practice in filling out forms and questionnaires correctly has been in- troduced in grade 8 and is to be briefly reviewed in the following grades, using such practical ex- amples as applications for employment, license ap- plications, time cards, and the like. Experience in creative,writing such as short stories and, in some cases poetry has been offered in all grades. Successful units in vocabulary enrichment in connection with this type of composition have been developed. The basic principles of journalism, developed to fit the needs of the high school writer, have been present- ed to those pupils in the twelfth grade college divi- sion*who have indicated a special interest in writing. Along with their other work, these students have written the weekly press release for the Barnstable Patriot and the Cape Cod Standard-Times as a prac- tical application of the.skills they have learned. Q. How many boys and girls participate in athletics at Barnstable Junior and Senior High School? Ans. In major, minor and intramural sports about 450 or one half of all the pupils. 289 Q. How much money is derived from admissions at the various athletic contests? Ans. In an average year about$3,200.00. as s s • Q. How much does it cost in an average year to operate the Barnstable High School athletic program? Ans. About $4,500.00. Q.

What are the major and minor sports at the high school? Ans. The.major sports are football, boys' and girls' basket- ball, baseball, track and golf. The minor sports are girls' softball, junior high base- ball,'junior high basketball and junior high football. Q. What does the Trade School have to offer to boys of high school age? Ans. At present, any boy'at least fourteen years old who has completed the eighth grade may choose one of three courses—boat building, carpentry, or machine shop. If he follows the course diligently for four years, he will be prepared to take employment in a boat yard, 290 for a'building contractor or in a machine shop as the case may be. The general classification would be ad- vanced apprentice. In addition to the trade training, he gets further edu- cation in arithmetic, .English, mechanical drawing, trade related information and social studies. The courses in the Trade School are under the general supervision of and meet the requirements of the Vo- cational Division of the Massachusetts State Depart- ment of Education., Q. What does the Trade School expect of its students? Ans. Every potential member of the Trade School should have a keen interest in the trade he selects and his pre- - vious school record should show reasonable ability in arithmetic, mechanical drawing, and shop work. As a member, he should apply himself to the job at hand to the best of his ability. He should be willing to take summer employment in his chosen field, even if other jobs offer more money. • a� e • Q. Is the Vocational Agricultural Course a part of the Trade School? Ans. No. The Vocational Agricultural course is part of the regular High School, being conducted as a department in the school under the supervision of the Massachu- setts State Department of Agricultural Education. Q. Who should elect to study Vocational Agriculture? Ans. Any boy who plans to earn his living in any of the 291 agricultural vocations or any of the many vocations re- lated to Agriculture will profit by the. course. The program is set up as a Vocational Course with the aim of establishing the graduate in the field, but further study on a Degree level or less is not precluded. Q. May a graduate of the Vocational Agricultural Course go to College? Ans. Yes. If the graduates marks are of sufficient quality he many enter the University of Massachusetts to study for a Degree in Agriculture. Q. What is the F. F. A.? . Ans. The Future Farmers of America is a National organi- zation for boys studying Vocational Agriculture. Barnstable has a local Chapter in this organization. Respectfully submitted, MELVIN C.

Maki, West Barnstable Harbor Master Chester A.Crosby, Jr., Osterville * Deceased " Resigned Page 7 REPORT Of THE SELECTMEN 1. herewith submit_my thirty-third and final report to the Town- of Barnstable. Sixteen reports have been made as Chairman of the Board of Public Welfare, one as Chair- man of the Board of Assessors, and the last sixteen as Chairman of the Board of. Selectmen. The town has been extremely fortunate to hold its tax rate at $49 for the past three years. Although our financial condition is still excellent, a modest tax rate increase this year would seem almost inevitable. Estimated school costs for 1966 are reportedly some $250,000 to $300,000 higher than in 1965. This would represent an additional $3.50 to $4.00 in the tax rate. Last year we had a record "free cash" of $601,000, but we dipped into it very heavily, $367,000, to reduce the tax rate at the an- nual town meeting, and $124,500 at subsequent special town meetings. appropriation balances and an excess of income .during the year over the amount estimated has replenished our free cash to about $280,000, a sizeable sum but considerably less than_was available a year ago. As compared with other towns and cities, the Town of Barn- stable is still in fine position to undertake any projects it deems necessary. LOOKING BACK At the end of a career there is always the tendency to look back over the road that has been traveled. I hope it will not be amiss if I take a few moments to review the highlights of the town's history since 1933. The first twelve years, through 1945, were rough, tough years; first depression, then war. In 1933 the towWa population was about 7700, our valuation„$23,534,0.00 and our tax rate $20.60. We were in the midst of the big depression. In December of that year more than ten per cent of our people were on relief. The situation was serious indeed. The Federal Government plunged headlong into the relief picture. The Civil Works Administration (CWA) was formed to relieve unemploy- ,.tL,, w money was provided to towns and cities for local works projects. The CWA soon became the Emer Page 8 gency Relief Administration (ERA), and it in turn gave way to the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Both the ERA and the WPA were organized soley to administer relief. This was accomplished by allowing successful appli- cants a limited amount of work on federally approved local work projects. By 1935 WPA workers were getting only $11 per week. Many of them obviously had to have supplementary aid from the town. In the winter of 1935 fifteen per cent of our population was on Public Welfare, and 20 cents out of every tax dollar was being spent for that purpose. Four years later in 1939 five dollars in the $26.50 tax rate represented the net cost of relief. In spite of all the governmental alphabetical agencies and all of its pump priming, it seemed that the depression would go on indefinitely. But with the advent of World War TI in 1939 employment became more plentiful, par- ticularly after the U. S. entry into the conflict. The fol- lowin,, is a quote from the 1942 Welfare Report. "During the past ten years relief conditions have al- most completed a cycle. When I first became Chairman of the Board of Public Welfare in 1933, the impact of the depression was just beginning to be felt on the Cape. During 1934 and 1935 unemployment continued to in- crease until we reached our peak welfare load in the latter year, exnending in excess of $100,000 for this category of relief alone. In spite of the government's WPA efforts, we carried practically the same burden for the next four years. our annual expenditures varying but little. "Then, with the war clouds gathering in Europe, the Federal Government at last decided that something should be done about. National Defense. Huge orders were placed for war materials; employment in private industry began to increase rapidly, and the slow but persistent exodus of workers from the Cape to industrial areas began. With Ole transition of industry to the production of war mater- ials now almost complete, we have arrived at a situation which is the exact opposite of that prevailing in 1933. Wages are at their highest level in history and employment is plentiful in all industrial regions." The war brought with it rationing of food, gasoline and other things necessary to the war effort. Many luxury a.nd semi-luxury items were in short supply. No real hard- ship, however, was suffered here at home. It was the men on the war fronts in common with the people in the Page 9 bombed cities of. Europe who really endured the horrors of this terrible conflict. More than a thousand men of Barnstable were in the armed forces on land, on the sea and in the air. Almost every Barnstable family had some- one in the service. The records reveal that 29 of our boys did not return. With the victory ultimately won, sons of Barnstable rapidly returned home from the services, the factories, the shipyards and other wartime activities. Although a great backlog of public and private projects had accumulated during the war, it took some time for the economy to shift over from wartime to peace-time operation. This in- terim adjustment period had its problems, such as housing and jobs for returning veterans (and for non-veterans as well), and administration of relief for those who could not be immediately employed. Inflation brought on by the war continued, and cost of living generally and housing in particular spiraled upward. Stimulated by the postwar demand for goods, homes, ;public and industrial buildings and all sorts of public improvements, the economy finally got into high gear and employment became available for those who earnestly sought it. Even more rapidly than elsewhere the Cape and Barnstable started to grow. At the war's end we had only eight hundred more homes than in 1933, 3993 to be exact. But by 1950 there were 4983, in 1955 6507, in 1960 7386, and in 1965 8702. Meanwhile our population had expanded from 8647 in 1945 to 15,609 in 1965, and our valuation had increased from $25,286,000 to $70,550,000. In common with other areas of the country Barnstable found that there were many problems associated with rapid population growth and a burgeoning economy. Our "interim zoning by-law" was no longer sufficiently com- prehensive. There was need for a specific building code and a code for gas appliance installation. Our rapidly in- creasing school population emphasized the need for new schools. The many new real estate developments required an expansion of our public highway system. As the number- of vehicles on our public ways doubled and tripled, traffic problems developed, particularly in the Hyannis area where the business community expanded with unbelievable rapid- ity and Hyannis became more than ever a shopping center for the entire Cape area. Beginning in 1949 a series of zoning by-laws were Page 10 adopted, providing comprehensive zoning for all parts of the town. The "interim zoning by-law" adopted in 1929 and administered by the selectmen had served the town well. It had prevented the type of land misuse that had completely spoiled certain areas in some other Cape towns. It. would have been completely incapable, however, of coping with all the problems of rapidly growing postwar Barnstable. Thanks to zoning we have very few if any "blighted" districts. In 1.949 the town adopted a building code and a few years later a code for the installation of gas appliances. The building inspector, gas inspector, plumbing inspector and wire inspector have, by proper enforcement of our codes and the applicable state laws and regulations, caused both public and private buildings to be constructed in such fashion as to merit public confidence. The Board of Health, through their agent, has efficiently safeguarded the public health, particularly in respect to restaurants, inns and other public eating places. Mr. Robert Chase, for many years agent for the Board of Health, has done an outstanding job in his field, re- flecting great credit upon himself and the town. Barn- stable owes him much, and his retirement as of December 31, 1965, was a serious loss. He will be most difficult to replace. Starting in 1949 with the Hyannis Elementary School on Bearse's Way the town began to replace its overcrowd- ed and, in some cases, inadequate school buildings. In 1953 a new elementary school was built in Centerville. Then in rapid succession came a new high school and new el• ementary schools in Cotuit, Barnstable-West Barnstable, Marstons Mills, Osterville and West Hyannis. An addition has been recently completed for the high school, and an extensive addition to the Centerville school is planned and ready for town meeting approval. The total cost of this replacement of our entire school plant to date (Junior High excepted) has been about $7,325,000 and the great- est impact on the tax rate only a little over $6, reflecting our exceptionally strong financial position. Indicative of the growth of the town is the fact that over 150.roads have been laid out and accepted by the town since 1950. Petitions are pending for some 35 more roads to be laid out as town ways. Most of these are worthy of attention and should be done as soon as time Page 11 and engineering is available. It will be years before this program catches up with the demand. In 1933 the only public beaches in the Town of Barn- stable were "Loop Beach" in Cotuit, Craigville Beach in Centerville, Sea Street Beach and Veterans' Memorial Park in Hyannis. Since that time available beach areas have been greatly increased. It is doubtful that any town or city has done more• in a like period to provide beach facilities for its residents and visitors. The following beaches have been acquired Sandy Neck in West Barnstable - about 5 miles of beach and 1150 acres of sand dunes, etc.; the west- erly end used as a public beach, the remainder for conservation purposes. Kalmus Park - 40 acres of upland, marsh and beach with 2600 feet on the ocean and about 2400 feet on Lewis Bay. Dowses Beach in Osterville - 11.5 acres with 1400 foot frontage on the sound and 2000 feet on East Bay. Also additional beaches have been acquired at Hath- away's Pond in Barnstable, Lovell's Pond in Cotuit, Hamblin's Pond in Marstons Mills and Joshua's Pond in Osterville. Sea Street Beach and Veterans' Memorial Park have been considerably enlarged. In 1936, by purchase of the initial tract of land, previously used as a private airport, the town acquired the beginning of its municipal airport. Since that time many additional parcels of land have been obtained and large sums of federal, state and town funds expended on enlargements and improvements. It is currently one of the finest and best equipped airports in New England. As such it is a tremendous asset to Barnstable and the entire area. It has become a vital factor in the economy of the Cape and the promotion of the summer resort business. LOOKING AHEAD The town has accomplished much over the past three decades. Its phenominal growth has been guided by timely zoning and other influences so that we still have a beauti- ful and attractive town. By proper action at the right time certain unattractive areas such as the Hyannis west end have been greatly improved and potential deteriora- tion avoided, I will not attempt to enumerate all of our assets, but suffice it to say that they are many. Barnstable Page 12 is one of the finest places in the world to Iive and work in or to visit at any time of the year. The town cannot rest on its laurels, however. There always will be important things to be done if the pros- perity and general well being of the town is to be main- tained. It is of the utmost importance that definite action be taken this year toward the solution of the Hyannis traffic problem. The first step is to approve in town meet- ing the roads which the 1965 town meeting voted to have the selectmen lay out and which were recommended by last year's traffic committee. This is essential to the future prosperity of the Hyannis business center and would do much to alleviate the serious traffic problem which now plagues Hyannis in the summer months. All that is being asked this year is that these roads be accepted and the necessary money be provided for land damage. The sum required may be quite large, but if the cost is spread over a 20 year period, as it can be, it will have Iittle effect on the tax rate. Once the layouts are accepted, the most important step will have been taken. Improvement can come next year or at such later time as the town may decide. t Much more needs to be done in the field of conser- vation. The Great Marshes should be acquired as soon as possible. The engineering department has spent much time on this project and has a great deal of the basic surveying done. By 1967 a plan of this huge area may be possible so that a taking can be made for conservation purposes. Although much of Barnstable's land area is still not built upon, it is being rapidly devoted to subdivisions and other uses. It is not too early to give serious consideration to procuring sizeable acreages for conservation purposes while such tracts are still available. Several areas as yet unspoiled are places of natural beauty and charm. Such areas if acquired and held in perpetuity for conservation purposes would be of tremendous value to future gener- ations. The rapid increase in the popularity of boating pre- sents a real problem for the future, both as to the need for proper facilities and in respect to the regulation of water traffic. The Atwood and Blackwell report regarding the development of Kalmus Park contains many pertinent Page 13 and valuable ideas which very well might solve Hyannis' boating problems. The town should give this report the most serious consideration and take action soon to put its recommendations to work. TIME MARCHES ON With the coming of the March election, thirty-three years will have passed since I was elected a selectman and assessor of Barnstable. For the first sixteen vears I served with Chester A. Crocker of Marstons Mills and James F. Kenney of Hyannis. Mr. Kenney retired in 1949 and was succeeded by Mr. George L. Cross. Mr. Crocker retiring the nest year was replaced by Mr. E. Thomas Murphy. All these men have served with distinction. I will remember them always as being most helpful and cooperative. It has been a pleasure to work with them. During my term in office I have been associated with many capable, hard-working and dedicated public officials who have contributed much, usually without recognition, to the general welfare of the town. I take great pride in having been one of the many who have helped to keep Barnstable the wonderful town it has always been. I have great faith in the shrewdness, wisdom and common sense of the average Cape Codder. I believe that the right leaders will be found and the town meetings in the long run will make the right de- cisions so that hundreds of years from today retiring se- lectmen and others, with justifiable pride, will be singing the praises of Barnstable and pointing to her lofty position amongst the communities of America. Respectfully submitted, VICTOR F. ADAMS, Chairman Board of Selectmen Page 14 ASSESSOR'S REPORT FOR 196S i respectfully submit my sixteenth annual report as Chairman of the Board of Assessors. The valuation increased in 1965 by $2,799,600, making a total value for the town on January 1st, 1965, of $70,552,970. Total appropriations to be raised by taxation in 1965 were $4,669,121.26. an increase over 1964 of 10 per cent. However, our estimated receipts were higher and $590,696.62 was used from available funds which reduced the tax levy. A tax rate of $49.00 was set for 1965, the same as the three previous years. Because much of our available funds were used this was accomplished. However, if we continue to, increase our appropriations, as we did this year from 10 per cent over the year before and our valuation only increased 4.1 per cent, it will be necessary to raise the tax rate in the future to meet the demands of government. On the following pages are printed the Table of Ag- gregates, the Recapitulation Sheet, and the School Tax Rate Recapitulation Sheet. They are printed for your in- formation and your guidance, giving exactly the items that were spent and showing the resultant tax rate. Mr. Victor F. Adams, an assessor for the Town of Barnstable the last thirty-three years, is retiring. It has been my pleasure to have worked with Mr. Adams for seventeen years. I have found him to be a dedicated public official and one who really understands all phases of town government. Through his dedicated service he has left his mark on the Town of Barnstable forever. He will be missed by the Board of Assessors and I extend to him best wishes for continued good health. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE L.

I was appointed Town Counsel October 1.3, 1965, after the untimely death of Kenneth E. Wilson. This re- port covers the period from that date until the end of the year. The most important litigation in which the Town be- came involved, is an appeal to the Superior Court brought by Floyd A. Van Duzer and Barnstable Marine Service, Inc. The cases are taken on an appeal from the decision of the Building Inspector denying a building permit for a motel near Barnstable Harbor, and from the action of the Town in adopting a new zoning by-law affecting the area in which the proposed motel was to be located. Pleadings have been filed in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, and a preliminary hearing has been held on de- murrers- filed on behalf of the Town. No decision has been forthcoming as a result of this hearing and no further action will be taken until such decision is reached. During the jury-waived session of Barnstable Super- ior Court, pre-trial hearings were held on two sidewalk injury cases and as a result of this hearing, agreements for settlement were reached and the cases were disposed of. A claim of the Massachusetts General Hospital in the First District Court of Barnstable against the Town was settled by agreement between the Hospital, the Town of Falmouth and the Town of Barnstable. A Land Damage case involving land taken by the Town on Sandy Neck was tried at the fall session of Superior Court by Kenneth E. Wilson, Jr., acting as special counsel, and the decision of the Court upheld the Town of Barnstable in its award of damages. Even though the Board of Appeals has heard a greater number of cases during the past year than in any other pre- vious years, there are presently no pending appeals from the decisions of the Board. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT E. O'NEIL Town Counsel Page 92 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD During 1965, the administration of the Subdivision Control Law has dominated the activity of the Planning Board. The Subdivision Control Law was adopted in 1962 and put into effect in 1963. During these three years 679 plans representing 1020 lots and 450 acres have been processed as "Approval not required" plans, and 812 full subdivision plans creating 812 lots, 426 acres and 66,000 feet of new roads. The public facilities in the above subdivisions were constructed with private funds. If the town had been obligated to construct these public facilities (after accep- tance), this would represent a burden on the tax levy of approximately $850,000.00. As may be seen from the above figures, the proper administration of subdivision control has and will continue to result in substantial savings to the tax payers. In addition to subdivision control, the Board has worked closely with the village zoning sub-committees to help them fabricate zoning plans and by-laws to most effectively protect the character of their villages and foster proper economic development. The Board, of its own volition, has introduced articles to upgrade business and parking standards. In the field of long-range planning, the Kalmus Park Study has been condensed into a good schematic concept for the development of this area into a central ocean- oriented resort facility, and we hope to develop good working plans to implement future action. In the future the Board intends to employ the help of the Engineering Department to more effectively ad- minister subdivision control, and make further short and long-range planning recommendations using the 1962 Mas- ter Plan Study Report as a guide. Respectfully submitted, PAUL T. LEBEL, Chairman Planning Board Page 93 REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Barnstable Development Committee has made sub- stantial progress toward the goals established by 1964 Town Meeting vote. Working with the Barnstable Housing Authority, the Committee has completed its application for State approval of the project which will give to the Town eminent domain powers to begin the wide-ranging array of activities planned for the Research Park area. The Planning Board and the Selectmen have been kept informed .of plans as they have evolved over the past year, and will have to Ove their approval to the project, as well as that approval required of the State Housing Board. After approval of the project by the requisite governmental agencies and boards, a local development group, directed and financed by Barnstable residents, will be formed this year. Shares in the corporation can be purchased by any citizen of the Town of Barnstable. The Development Committee hopes that Barnstable residents will give the corporation solid financial underwriting. Par- ticipation will mean being part of one of the few carefully conceived major projects in the Commonwealth. Indicative of the potential success of the proposed local development corporation is the first industry already secured for the Park area by your committee even before total final plans have been completed. The basic soundness of the Research Park is demon- Page 94 strated by Packaging Industries and The Sentinel Corp- oration, formerly of New Jersey and Rhode Island, which now employ approximately sixty local people, and contem- plate a large expansion in 1966. We believe our new neigh- bor to be the Cape's single largest research and manu- ufacturing employer,this, in our ,first year of effort. This year should see construction of. portions of the Park to the high tourist compatible standards developed with even more success to report as the Park evolves from a basically "public" concept to a locally financed private enterprise project. With many thanks to our elected officials who have been so helpful this past twelve months, and a very warm "Welcome to Cape Cod" extended to our new neighbors, Mr. Rohdin, president of Packaging Industries and The Sentinel Corporation, and his associates. Respectfully submitted, PAUL LORUSSO, Chairman Barnstable Development Committee Page 95 ROGER C. SCUDDER AGE 42 YEARS 17 YEARS, 7 MONTHS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT May 17, 1948 —December 25, 1965 Page 96 TOWN OF BARNSTABLE Highway Department 3. ........... fBl >>## ANNUAL REPORT 1965 Page 97 REPORT OF THE ROAD COMMITTEE The Road Committee held its annual meeting on Janu- ary 12 with the Surveyor of Highways, who presented the committee with his estimated budget for the care and maintenance of the roads and bridges of the Town of Barnstable for the year 1966. Each item of the budget submitted by the Highway Surveyor was carefully analyzed by the committee and found to be in keeping with the increased yearly require- ments of this department. A full discussion of the road program as well as drain- age problems and snow removal difficulties was held with the Surveyor and recommendations made. The committee feels that the work done by the high- way personnel as well as that let out on bid to private contractors has been done in a very satisfactory manner and commends to the people of the Town of Barnstable the excellent condition of the Highway Department and the efficient administration of its Surveyor.

Each day that goes by brings a greater realization that one of the most important factors in the development and future prosperity of the Town of Barnstable is in its system of good roads. The outlook for 1966 is that it will be a busy year, possibly the busiest year in the history of the highway department. Because we have excellent equipment and ex- perienced help to cope with the highway needs of our fast growing town, it is possible to look forward to the year ahead with a great deal of enthusiasm. In closing, I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation I have received from the Road Committee, the Board of Selectmen and the entire highway department personnel. Respectfully submitted, STANLEY R. DOANE, Surveyor of Highways Page 103 REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WELFARE To the Barnstable Board of Public Welfare: Mr. E. Thomas Murphy, Chairman The report of the Director of Public Welfare for the Town of Barnstable for the year ending December 31, 1965 follows: During the year 1965, there was an unusual turnover and reassignment of personnel. The director of 17 years retired effective August 1, 1965. The Senior Social Worker was appointed in his stead. To fill this vacancy, a new Social Worker was hired. A Senior Clerk resigned and a Junior Clerk with seniority was elevated. A new Junior Clerk was appointed. The Junior Clerk, who had organized this intricate medical department, resigned after 8 years, leaving a vacancy which was filled by the appointment of a Junior Clerk in September of 1965. Tn 1965, this department expended under all cate- gories on relief with a total of 483 cases, the grand total of $531,161.40 for aid rendered, and received $346,928.14 in reimbursement from the Federal Government, State Government and individuals. The net cost of relief to the Town was therefore $184,233.26. For Administration $49,270.28 was expended and $32,804.80 was received, in Federal and State reimburs- ments. The net cost to the Town for Administration was therefore $16,465.48.

A family of two adults, with a minor child, could receive approximately $146.00 a month: a family of one adult, with five minor children, might receive $318.00 a month. Exact amounts are deter- mined by numerous factors surrounding each situation. Due to the increase of detail, and emphasis on pro- tective services, it is conceivable that, in the near future, additional personnel will be required to serve the public efficiently. The department has run smoothly, resulting from the cooperative spirit shown by its entire staff. It has also enjoyed a fine rapport with the many public and private agencies on Cape Cod and beyond. Respectfully submitted, RUTH M. RUSHER Director Page. 106 REPORT OF THE VETERAN'S AGENT December 31, 1965 District Board Victor F. Adams—Barnstable, Chairman Kirkwood B. Brown--Dennis H. Raymond Darling—Yarmouth A. John MacQuade—Sandwich Leo C. Sweeney—Mashpee Board of Selectmen—Town of Barnstable Gentlemen: Submitted, herewith, is the report of the activities of your District Department of Veterans' Services - Town of Barnstable. This is my seventh report to you as Veterans' Agent and Director of Veterans' Services. During that time this Department has added two more towns to its District; namely, the towns of Sandwich and Mashpee. This en- larged District comprises around 147 square miles. The past year this Department spent the sum of $12,057.32 for Veterans' Benefits to aid and assist NEEDY veterans and their dependents. This assistance is approved and supervised by the Commissioner of Veterans' Services of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and fifty per cent is reimbursed to our town. A great amount of my time and effort is also given to assist any veteran with any problem that he or she may have with the Veterans' Administration. I also try to assist a veteran in seeking employment so that he can support his family. Without the splendid support and cooperation of many of our local service and charitable organizations, my task would be much greater, and I wish to thank all of them for their assistance. This Department also wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen and the various Town Departments for their splendid cooperation the past year. Your Obedient Servant, CHARLES H. CROSS, Agent Page 107 REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Town of Barnstable, Mass. Gentlemen: I hereby present the report of the activities of the Barnstable Police Department for the year 1965. In the year 1965 there were 2,218 persons arrested and confined in the lock-up.

Several important requests for assistance were received by this means. 1965 is proclaimed a Banner Year by merchants and other business men Cape wide. Not so pleasant, but all too true, our records show this year as high in criminal activity here in the Town. Our arrest record increased by about one third over 1964. In plain words, the work load per member of our police department has increased to such an extent that only more personnel plus more overtime to regular men can ease the situation. Consequently, I have recommended that the duty weeks of our Summer Patrolmen be extended and that two more men added to this detail in order to patrol South Street, Hyannis,which is one of our main.arteries during the summer months. I have also recommended that two permanent patrolmen be added to our department for town wide traffic patrol in the vacation season, and to cover the off season months on our house inspection program when our many property owners have closed their houses for winter months. Our Harbors Patrol Program is making every effort to keep abreast with the increased boating activities within the Town Harbors and Wequaquet Lake. There is at present a serious need for replacement of the Hyannis-Hyannispott patrol boat which was our first fully equipped unit in the department. I have recommended such a purchase. Our Patrolmen continue to be assigned as students at the State Police Academy at Framingham, in the local Police Officers Training Classes. We take advantage of the courses during the off season months and I believe all personnel who have had the advantage of these classes tend to be better informed in police procedure. Page 120 The present Police Station and Garage facilities have proven to be adequate in which to operate the department efficiently. There has been occasions when our lock-up areas have been taxed to the utmost for brief periods, but that is to be expected on the busy summer weekends. In 1965 our department lost the services of Special Officer Joseph Hassett through mandatory retirement. Of- ficer Hassett served as Prosecuting Officer for many years and earned the acclaim of judges and attorney's alike by his fairness and abilities. His dedication in performing his duties will long be respectfully remembered by members of the department and never forgotten by me. I personally wish Joe Hassett a long and happy life in well earned retirement. Improvement in methods and procedure will ever be the goal of your Police department and we will always wel- come constructive criticism from our Towns-people. Respectfully submitted ALBERT L. HINCKLEY, Chief of Police Page 121 REPORT OF THE FISH & GAME LAWS ENFORCEMENT OFFICER To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: Gentlemen: I herewith submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1965. This report covers the period from January 1, 1965 to March 27, 1965 and September 27, 1965 to December 31, 1965. This represents a period of 182,days during which Fish and Game Law Enforcement was in effect. During this period there were 425 hunters and 180 fishermen checked, and again as in the past the majority of these hunters and fishermen were residents of other towns and cities. Of these hunters and fishermen checked it was necessary to issue 20 warnings for infractions. There were 9 violations of a more serious nature that required court action which resulted in fines totalling $225.00. The following is a breakdown of game in bags checked: 78 Pheasant 48 Quail 65 Rabbits 28 Black Duck 15 Grouse 8 Mallard Duck 11 Raccoon 13 Geese 3 Fog The following is a breakdown of fish taken in creels checked: 135 Pickerel 135 Rainbow Trout 108 Perch 75 Brown Trout 18 Bass 53 Brook Trout 107 Other Fish This year another officer with a second vehicle was added to this Department for Beach Patrol in the summer and Fish and Game work in the winter months. Robert Thomas of Hyannis was appointed and was furnished with a vehicle. The addition of this second officer has greatly Page 12 2 improved the coverage of our patrols and inspections of many areas of the Town. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to report that Mr. Thomas has done outstanding work and his appointment has been a benefit to this De- partment and to the Town. During the past year we have continued our regular checks of property and cottages on Sandy Neck, and we have also checked on the indiscriminate cutting of holly and evergreens during the holiday seasons. This past fall we conducted a course of instruction for youths between the ages of 15 and 18 in the Hunter Safety Program as set forth by the Commonwealth. This course consisted of the safe handling of firearms and instruction in different types of ammunition, current Fish and Game Laws, and good general conservation practices. Last year I reported that our grouse and rabbit popu- lation was slightly down. This trend has continued in 1965. This may be partly due to a down cycle and hunting pressure, but the main factor is the ever increasing numbers of red fox through the Town. The Division of Fisheries and Game stocked 340 cock pheasant and 120 hens in Barnstable during 1965. This year we planted 8 food patches of buckwheat and winter rye to provide food and cover for our wild birds. This planting program was supplimented by distributing bird food and seed during the harsh winter,months. Because of this effort our Quail population has made great gains, as have some of the other birds. There were 35 deer known to have been taken by the shotgun hunters during the 1965 legal deer season in the Town of Barnstable (none by the bow hunters) ; 18 of these deer were bucks and 17 were doe. Also during the past year 16 were killed by cars and dogs. This brings a total of 51 deer that were killed in the Town that we know of. The hunting pressure on deer was extremely heavy in the Mary Dunn area, where most of the deer were taken. All of the other areas in the Town had only light hunting pressure. From what we can now determine it appears that approximately 60 per cent of our deer herd was harvested or lost by accidents. We are still faced with illegal hunting of deer, although this has been greatly re- Page 123 duced, but there still are those who have not learned to appreciate our wonderful wild life resources particularly in .face of our ever diminishing woodlands. There are now 76 towns and cities in the Common- wealth that either prohibit or restrict hunting. These towns and cities are only a short travel distance away from the Cape areas. With the ever-increasing loss of our wild life habitat and woodlands, the hunting pressure becomes very heavy on the game in the few remaining areas. It would seem urgent that in our future planning we establish some sort of control so that we will not over-harvest some of the types of game which can not be propagated (deer and grouse). We should make a united effort as a Town to acquire a sizeable upland conservation area before it is out of our reach due to price or availability. Such an area could be left in its natural state for wild life and for future generations to enjoy. This Department has continued to work hand in hand with admirable liaison with the Commonwealth Natural Resources Officers and the Fish and Game personnel and cooperate fully in their programs while receiving full sup- port from the Conservation Commission and other Town Offices and departments, particularly the office of Select- men. We like many others will miss the wisdom and guidance of our Chairman, Mr. Adams, whose foresight has done so much for the field of conservation as well as in other fields. Respectfully submitted, TAISTO E. RANTA Fish and Game Laws Enforcement Officer Page 124 REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE AIRPORT COMMISSION 1965 proved a very fruitful year for your airport. Particularly noteworthy is the large increase of traffic by corporate and private planes, hence the large increase in operational income. The Airport operated with a surplus at the end of the year. This will be carried over to 1966 which will result in a smaller anticipated deficit that we will have to ask for at the 1966 Town Meeting. One decided trend has appeared in aviation and at your Airport. That is the large increase in turbo-jet air- craft. More corporations are using these high speed air- craft as the years proceed, bringing the need for us to lengthen our secondary runway. With the present State and Federal airport develop- ment program, the mown share will be 10 per cent of the costs. Your Airport Commission feels we should start this development now so it will be completed by the summer of 1968. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR F. CLARKE, Chrm. Airport Commission Page 125 AIRPORT MANAGER'S REPORT Perhaps the most significant event of this season was the revitalizing of Northeast Airline's economic position by the Storer Broadcasting Corporation acquistion of ma- jor stockholdings and assets. It is their plan within the next. 1S months to replace the existing fleet with all new turbine aircraft. The coming summer should see some of the newly acquired turbo-prop 40 passenger Fairchilds on the Hyannis run. Improvement in schedules has in part accounted for the more than 36 per cent increase in passengers carried by Northeast. Further scheduling improvements are plan- ned. Our local carrier, Cape & Islands Flight Service, flew over 15 per cent more passengers this year than last. Aircraft traffic has climbed to a higher than usual 8.5 per cent increase for a total count of 34,746. Also this year's airport fuel sales have increased more than 21 per cent. A new family of corporation jets has been very much in evidence this season; Jet Stars, Sabreliners, Lear Jets, the new English DeHaviland 125's; in addition to our usual compliment of Viscounts, Gulfstreams and other turbo-props.

Barnstable Inadequate rainfall during the planting and growing seasons hindered the growth of our shade trees again this ,year. A bi-weekly program of watering with a mixture of water and liquid fertilizer was started around June 15 and continued through the summer months until just after Labor Day. This proved to be very beneficial and many shade trees that were wilting and discolored seemed to come back to life. In the Spring shade trees that did not survive the winter were removed and replaced with new ones. I have reduced the number of trees to be planted each year but have increased their size. At this time I would like to thank many of the citizens throughout the villages who saw that trees planted in front of their homes were watered during the dry season. A program of trimming limbs and growths which obstruct views along roadsides, intersections, signs, etc. was carried out during the growing season. It is necessary in many cases to severely cut back limbs and other growth in order to get the proper amount of road clearance. Many shade trees were thoroughly pruned this year, and many wounds and cavities were repaired and treated. This is an important phase of tree work as it helps prevent further damage. The spraying program for the control of the Elm Bark Beetle was begun during the first week of April. Most of the spraying was done by helicopter and has worked out very well. What can be done in two or three days by helicopter would take about a month if it were all done by the mist blower from the ground. Poison Ivy spraying was carried out as usual, and the results were good. Respectfully submitted, DONALD H. COOMBS Tree Warden Page 12 8 REPORT OF THE INSECT PEST CONTROL SUPERINTENDENT To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The following reports are submitted for the depart- ment under the supervision of the Insect Pest Control Superintendent. Dutch Elm Department The removal of diseased Elm trees was carried_ on throughout the early part of the year. These trees are cut down and removed to the dump where they are buried. Samples were taken during the summer months for Dutch Elm Disease and there were 14 infected trees. In Hyannis there were three, six in Barnstable, three in West Barn- stable and two in Osterville. During the first two weeks of April all of the town Elm trees were sprayed. This was a dormant spray to control the Elm Bark Beetle, said carrier of the Dutch Elm Disease. Most of this was aerial spraying done by helicopter and the remainder done by the town mist blower. In the fall a large number of Elm trees were pruned and put in excellent condition. Many of these trees were in the villages of Centerville and Barnstable. An extensive program of pruning in the Elms and other tree varieties is planned for the coming year. Insect Pest Control The Gypsy Moth infestation which had become quite serious was sprayed with a chemical called Sevin and re- sults were satisfactory. There were a few small areas throughout the town that did not get complete kill, but these areas have been scouted as have all of the spray arc„ .rj ;will Page 129 The Tent Caterpillar infestation was kept in check by spraying and by the removal of roadside Choke Cherry bushes where the caterpillar nests. The Poison Ivy program was started and carried on throughout the villages during the summer season. Many of the pond and swimming areas were checked and sprayed when necessary. Spraying was done along the roadsides as there were many areas that needed attention. Aerial Spraying The Town's usual contribution was given to the Barn- stable County Spraying Program. The greenhead fly situ- ation was serious this year. Fly-trap counts indicated a greater abundance of flies this season than in any of the past ten years. There were three sprayings of malathion applied at a dispersement rate of 1-10 gallon per acre by areial application. Respectfully submitted, DONALD H. COOMBS Insect Pest Control Superintendent Page 130 REPORT OF THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The year 1965 has to be regarded as a tremendous year for this Commission. Two really giant steps were taken in providing the Town of Barnstable with a pro- gressive Park and Recreation Commission. The greatest accomplishment was the covering of the Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink with a roof. After re- ceiving overwhelming support at the annual Town Meet- ing, work was completed and the Rink opened November 20, 1965. Secondly was the merger of the Park Commission and the Recreation Commission at the annual Town Meeting: This arrangement has been completed and is a great factor in expending the many projects and programs sponsored by the Commission. The combined headquarters is located in the Centerville Recreation Building. The Commission return- ed to the Town Treasurer, from all accounts and sources the total of $41,648,14. PARK DEPARTMENT REPORT FOR 1965 Excellent weather conditions combined with our in- creasing public facilities made 1965 an exceptional year at all beaches under the direction of the Park and Recrea- tion Commission. Comparison of 1964 and 1965 Receipts 1964 1965 Bismore Park Dockage $ 5,228.00 $ 6,050.60 Bismore Park Parking Meters 4,353.75 5,210.40 Veterans' Park Parking Fees 4,058.00 6,019.00 Veterans' Park Food Concession 230.22 433.71 Sandy Neck Parking Fees 6,959.00 8,910.00 Sandy Neck Food Concession 440.20 576.01 Hathaway's Pond Parking Fees N/C 389.00 Hathaway's Pond Food Concession 57.44 160.84 Rebates and Other Sources 387.97 1,597.90 Total Receipts $21,714.58 $29,347.46 Page 131 These overall figures show an increase of 30 per cent without any income from long-term parking stickers sold directly by the Selectmen's office to non-residents and honored at our beaches. As should be expected in the first year of operation under a combined Commission, some complex problems came to light in both departments. These problems were solved quickly and most satisfactorily by a close relation- ship between the new Commission and the department heads. It. is most gratifying to see what has been accom- plished in a .seemingly short year. The excellent cooperation provided by Chief Albert Hinckley and his Department in the selection of our park attendants and police was outstanding. The additional police and parking attendants required at Sandy Neck, Hathaway's Pond, Wequaquet Lake, Jos- hua's Pond and Bismore Park kept vandalism and rowdy- ism to a minimum in the face of increased public usage. Park Improvements In addition to our usual maintenance, improvements to parks and areas during this season consisted of addi- tional grills and tables, new comfort station at Lowell Park, rocks removed at Hathaway's pond for future beach expansion and rebuilding of Joshua's Pond beach area. At Wequaquet Lake, taking advantage of the low water, the ramp was widened and extended. The greatest improvement in all areas was the power line, lights and deep well facilities added at Sandy Neck. This was the first time cold, fresh water was avail- able throughout the season, and the people of the Town of Barnstable should be commended for their support and interest in these most appreciated utilities. RECREATION DEPARTMENT REPORT FOR 1965 New programs instituted this year were the Mentally Retarded Summer Day Camp program conducted for six seeks at the Centerville Elementary School, and the Ele- mentary Boys Soccer League held Saturday mornings at the Hvannis West Elementary School field. Three other programs were reorganized and enjoying success, are the Square Dance Club at the Osterville Com- munity Center, the Women's Physical Fitness program at the Junior High School, and the Teeners Baseball program which now sponsors two teams, Cotuit and Barnstable. T11n VnmMkg;nn nnntinne..s to sponsor the village bas- Page 13 2 ketball program on Friday nighty at seven areas, and the five basketball leagues on Satu-clays d.uriug the winter months. Other winter programs are 7 oil painting class, men's volleyball leagues at Hya-mis and Marstons Mills, elementary school programs for boys and girls, and the baton twirling classes. The Ost.erville Community (;'-!titer is open for super- vised recreation during the winter months, and is also used by the Garden Club, Choral group, Camera Club, the Five- Rivers Branch of the Cape Cod Hospital Laid Association, Girl Scouts, C. Y. O. Basketball Tearn. The Centerville Recreation Building, headquarters for the Park & Recreation Commission, is also utilized by the Centerville Board of Trade, Kindergarten Association, Stamp Club, Radio Clubs of Cape Cod and Barnstable, Boy Scouts, Cape Umpires and Basketball Officials Assoc- iations, Babe Ruth League, Little League, and Teeners League meetings. The summer program in Recreation, sponsored by the Commission, consists of a twelve-week swimming program at six areas, and support of twenty-seven baseball teams ranging in age from nine years to adults. The swimming program was extremely busy this sea- son, due to the exceptionally fine weather from opening day and continuing for about nine weeks. The 4th of July week-end saw the heaviest concentration of bathers ever in the history of the Commission beaches. 289 Red Cross swimming badges were distributed at our various beaches. The highlight of the swimming program was the combined swimming meet of the Seleetmens beaches and the Com- mission beaches, held at Hathaway's Pond in August. REPORT OF THE KENNEDY MEMORIAL SKATING RINK To eliminate the mounting problems of operating the outdoor ice skating facilities and to provide additional opportunities for the advancement of ice skating activi- ties, the Town Meeting of last March voted almost unani- mously to provide a roof over the Kennedy Memorial Skating Rink. On November 20th the roof was substan- tially completed and a most gala opening was staged, high- lighted by an impressive dedication ceremony, a series of skating exhibitions by members of The Skating Club of Boston, and a general skating session that saw over 1,000, mostly children, take to the ice. Page 13 3 During the ensuing six weeks, not a single skating activity had to be cancelled due to the elements and at- tendance at public skating sessions doubled that of the corresponding period the previous year. This, plus sub- stantial gains in ice rentals, skate rentals and commissions from skate sharpening and food sales coupled with almost a 20 per cent reduction in ice freezing costs adds creedance to the Commission's contention that the gap between yearly income and outlay can be reduced to an acceptable mini- mum. The roof over the rink was designed and engineered by Mason J. Condon of Lynnfield, Massachusetts, and the general contractor was Multi-Tech Corp., Inc., of Wake- field, Massachusetts, whose President, William A. Meagher, resides in the village of Hyannis. S. Benjamin Thomas of Centerville. the Rink Manager for the past six years, served as Clerk of the Works. The sum of $137,500.00 which was requested and voted at the regular Town Meet- ing on March 2, 1965, was supplemented by $49,500.00 by vote at a special Town Meeting on June 14, 1965. The additional sum was sought when all bids for the proposed construction exceeded the original appropriation, and wisely it was the Commission's decision to seek additional funds rather than reduce the scope of the project. The Town of Barnstable now has an ice skating facility of which they can be justly proud where an uninterrupted seh:,dule of recreational ice skating events and competi- tive ice sports will be programed from early November through late March. Ice hockey activities from the Pee Wee division of the Kennedy Memorial Youth Hockey League, through the Barnstable High School Intramural Hockey Program, the Cape Cod School Boy Hockey League, the Cape Cod Am- ateur Hockey League and Old Timer's Hockey League all provide outstanding physical fitness opportunities, and many hours of spectator pleasure. The Cape Cod Skating Club, in the doldrums because of frequent cancellations of their ice time during the 1964-65 skating season, came back strong when the roof guaranteed their three weekly sessions. By mid-December they had reached their maximum membership goal, and were functioning as one of the most active family skating clubs in the state. Page 134 During the Thanksgiving holiday period, members of the Kennedy family participated in several ice skating sessions. It was most gratifying to see Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy at rink-side to observe his son, Senator Ed- ward M. Kennedy skating for the first time since being seriously injured in an aircraft accident, and to witness many of his grandchildren frolicking on the ice. We wish to take this opportunity to thank your Board, the Police Department, the School Department, the High- way Department, and other town departments, civic and community organizations, and the many individuals for their continued interest and support in making this year an outstanding one.

FRENCH PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION Page 13i REPORT OF THE BEACH COMMITTEE In a series of meeting held throughout the past two years, the Beach Committee, augmented by action of the 1964 Town Meeting and the appointments of the Modera- tor to include Robert L. Jones and William H. Covell, continued its study of the operation of the Town beaches. All Town of Barnstable beaches have been visited four times at the height of the season and their operation, administratior,.. and potential evaluated. From its investigations in 1963-64, the Committee concluded: 1. That it would be desirable to have all beaches ad- ministered by one agency, 2. That the recreational attractions of our communi- ties will continue to make the Town a popular resort area and that it must be maintained as a resort area of high quality; 3. That a unified and integrated recreation program, including beaches, parks, skating rink and all other rec- reational programs may be desirable; and 4. That the pressure of increased use and demand for beach and recreation facilities may require substantial reorganization of present administrative practices. Our studv since then has seemed to confirm the above conclusions. Further, it has seemed clear to the Committee that No. 3 above made the establishment of a new Beach Commission undesirable. Rather, the recently formed Park and Recreation Commission seemed the logical body to administer the beaches. It seemed important, however, that this new Commission be given time to organize properly before being burdened with so onerous a responsibility as administration of the Town Beaches. At the present Page 136 time, the, majority of the beaches are well administered and the Committee makes note that the beaches under the care of the Selectmen seem especially well run. This makes it feasible to maintain the present system for at least one more year. The Committee, therefore, makes the following recom- mendations: 1. That the Town continue the operation of its beaches as they are presently administered until the voters act on our succeeding recommendations; 2. That no Beach Commission be created; 3. That the Park and Recreation Commission be in- structed to prepare a plan for the administration of an inte.-rated recreational program including beaches, skating rink, parks and other recreational activities and facilities to be presented to the voters at the annual Town Meeting in 1967; 4. That this plan include a hired, full-time adminis- trator of the integrated recreational program for the town and 5. That if this plan is approved by the voters at said Town Meeting, supervision of all beaches be then placed under the direction of the Park and Recreation Commission. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR C. GOODE, Chairman Beach Committee Page 137 REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION For The Year 1965 As 1965 ends, some 30 acres of property at Sandy Neck are in the process of being added to the town-owned land there. It is the wish of the owners, Clarence Elmer and Olga Stevens of West Barnstable, that this property, half marsh, half upland with a camp thereon, be used for conservation purposes. Purchase was approved by town meeting vote in November. The commission hopes that state aid may be applied to the purchase price of $10,000 when such state funds are available, and application for this 50 per cent reimbursement has been made to the De- partment of Natural Resources. In September the commission received town meeting permission to use the former selectmen's office in West Barnstable, an historic site, as a headquarters. With the $2,000 voted for basic repairs, a new gas heating system, new steps, and new lighting have been installed. Interior painting is completed and plumbing checked out. A small room has been remodeled as an office for the conservation officers. Essential furnishing of the building is presently being done. The Dig and Delve Garden Club of West Barnstable is drawing up a plot plan for plantings to make the grounds more attractive and has expressed its desire to contribute a tree or smaller shrubs in the spring. Needed exterior painting should be done as soon as pos- sible as should some masonry. Commissioners have been called on numerous occasions during this year on complaints regarding filling of wet- lands in the town. These have been investigated in each instance and measures taken to curb violations. Besides the Jones Law, we now have on the side of conservation, the Hatch Act (inland waters) and the Coastal Wetlands Bill, both enacted in 1965. Page 13 8 A resolution offered at the annual town meeting by Chairman Crawford H. Hollidge was passed there and ap- proved on May 22 by the Legislature conferring all town- owned land at Sandy Neck east of the park and recreation commission beach and parking lot to the joint custody of the board of selectmen and conservation commission, to become effective upon acceptance by the town. The commission wishes to commend the efforts of con- servation officer Taisto Ranta and his assistant, Robert Thomas, on behalf of conservation throughout the town and especially at Sandy Neck. Addition of the second officer and extension of the 24-hour patrol from May 1 to October 1 at the Neck was suggested by the commission early in the year. The selectmen acted upon the suggestion and conditions have improved as a result. More planting of beach grass in the dune area of Sandy Neck should be done this spring. This has proven a most effective erosion control measure. Mosquito ditches must be equipped with adequate dikes to eliminate further ruination of several land areas by tidal submergence. Since some of these areas are not within town-owned jur- isdiction, this work should be urged on the part of private parties or the mosquito control. Reasonable, albeit stricter, regulations, for users of Sandy Neck are forthcoming for the summer of 1966. This has been deemed necessary to preserve the dunes, to in- sure adequate privacy to cottage owners at the tip beyond town-owned land, and for sanitary purposes. Acquisition by the town of the (treat Marshes is most desirable. However, until the survey now under way by . the town engineers is complete, little action in regard to acquiring land in this area can be taken. In many in- stances titles are obscure, bounds are obliterated and loca- tion of the property is often unknown to present owners. In the coming year, the commission feels that more should be done in the field of conservation education in the schools to augment the programs of the Audubon So- ciety and Cape Cod Museum of Natural History. Page 139 With the tremendous demand for land for develop- ment purposes, the commission faces ever-increasing com- petition in its bid for land acquisition. Its funds cannot match the money available to those who are investing for profit. Several parcels of land have been lost to conserva- tion for this reason during the year. Because it must be ever on the alert to the interests of conservation in all parts of the town, the commission has requested that its membership be augmented to the legal capacity of seven members. To date the membership numbers five; one from Barnstable, two from Marstons Mills, one from Cummaquid, and one from Hyannis. In closing, we would like to thank the retiring chair- man of the board of selectmen, Victor F. Adams, for his ever ready help and encouragement to the commission in its work.

During the year I have issued 920 Gas Permits, col- lected $460.00 in Permit fees and have inspected 2,197 gas appliances and equipment. Included in the above inspec- tions are eight emergency calls. This has been a very busy year with a lot of new construction, both domestic and commercial. I have at- tended several meetings at the State House relative to the State Gas Code. Again I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Selectmen, all Town Departments, employees of the different Gas Companies, Plumbers and all other Con- tractors for their cooperation during the year 1965. Respectfully submitted, H. LESTER SHERMAN, JR. Gas Inspector Page 144 REPORT OF THE SHELLFISH CONSTABLE To thy, Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: l hereby submit my report for the year ending D,,•eniher 31. 1965. CLAMS in the past Year there has been a remarkable increase in the amount of seed as well as adult clams, and this has been noted on both sides of our town. In the past years we have allowed commercial clamming only in Barnstable Harbor where the nreat.est amount of clams have been, but this year the supply was so good on-the south side of the town that we allowed commercial digging in a limited urea in the Nlarstons Mills River. The 1966 season should be a good one also, with all the seed and adult clams that we have in all areas of the town. QUAHOGS Quahogs were in good supply this past season. Both CoTnily and eommercial diggers were able to get their limits ,rithout much trouble. Eel River, the area that was set aside for our propa- rTai ion program, where we planned to grow quahogs to seed in other areas in the town, is showing encouraging sins. Seed and adult quahogs are in good supply at this time, so the 1966 harvest should be as productive as the pact season of 1965. SCALLOPS This has been a very good season for scallops. Adult scallops were plentiful and of excellent quality. We have a. very good supply of seed in the bays at this time which could mean another good harvest for the coming season. Page 145 OYSTERS Oysters are still in short supply. This past summer we put six truck loads of bleached scallop shells into Bmaps River in an attempt to catch the young oysters. Tfio bleached scallop shells are believed to be the best material for catching oysters when they settle after their swimming stage is over. RAZOR CLAMS The razor clam supply is still good, as it has been for several ,years.

This has been the driest year on record and as the drought continues, the prospects for the coming fire sea- son look serious. Extreme fire danger existed during much of the year. Although this condition existed, we were for- tunate to have bad a relatively small loss, with an estimated 11.6 acres of grass and brush burned. The equipment of the Department responded to 111 alarms as follows: 64 Grass and brush 6 Town Dump 19 Buildings or related to 2 Cranberry bop 12 Vehicles 1 Gas 7 Out of Town 111 Total Grass and brush fires were from the following causes: Smokers 26 Unknown 4 Children 18 Hot ashes 1 Burning 10 Hot Metal 1 Fire Crackers 4 Total 64 Our winter program of clearing wood roads has been continued, opening up an additional 6.4 miles to those al- ready being maintained. A request has been made for funds to replace the patrol truck and 1952 brush breaker. These replacements will bring our equipment up to date except for the 1947 truck which will need replacing another year. Page 149 As delegate to the Massachusetts Forest Fire Council, I am serving as President for the third year. This Council with representatives from every County in the State, con- tinues to try to improve the forest fire prevention and suppresion system in Massachusetts. In closing, I wish to thank the Deputy Wardens, the personnel who have operated equipment, other Depart- ments and the general public for their assistance and co- operation during the year.

DOTTRIDGE Forest Warden Page 150 REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable The Barnstable Housing Authority has continued in its operation of a permanent forty unit dwelling - project 200-1 - located at General Patton Drive, Hyannis. During this past year we have painted the remaining clapboard houses, and during 1966 it is our plan to begin to either paint or shingle the remaining shingled houses. We replaced electric stoves, hot water heaters and electric refrigerators as the need arose; it is our plan to have all stoves and refrigerators replaced by the end of the next two ,years, providing our financial position permits this. Due to the increased cost of labor and materials. the Authority, under the direction of the State Housing Board, found it necessary to raise the minimum rents for houses. At the same time, a re-examination of income of tenants was studied and rents were adjusted accordingly. Minimum rents are now: $50.00 per month for 2 bedroom unit $55.00 per month. for 3 bedroom unit We endeavor to keep the rent minimal. Income limits up to the following will be approved by this Board. Minor Dependents Admission Limits One or less $4,800 Two 5,000 Three or more 5,200 Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at the office located in the basement of the Town Building, and at these meetings the Board acts on matters pertaining to management. Our sole employee is our mana- ger, Mrs. Alice K. Bailey. We express our appreciation to the various Town De- partments for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT B. TRIMBLE, Chairman FRANK T. HALEY E. JOSLIN WHITNEY DAVID ROCKWOOD ROBERT HAUCK Page 15 1 REPORT OF THE SEWER COMMISSION To the Citizens of the Town of Barnstable: We resp,:vlf till y submit the following report pertaining to the Sewer Department for t.hc year 1965. Mr. Kenneth S. Bearse, Superintendent, reports that during the year we had a few minor repairs to make to the sewer system. He also reports all buildings and equip- ment are in good condition. This year we purchased a new seweroder machine and we are pleased to report that it does an excellent job cleaning our sewer lines. We are pleased to report that the new sewer lines have been installed and are now in operation on Winter Street north of Lewis Street, Charles Street, portions of the Ridgewood area and a portion of Barnstable Road north of Baxter Road. This year we have added 70 new services to our lines and have pumped approximately 219 million gallons of sewerage to our facilities at the filter beds. It is a pleasure for us to report that on our last three completed projects, having a total appropriation of $51,800.00 covering new pumping equipment, repairs to present filter beds, the building of two new filter beds and the purchase of a seweroder machine, we have saved and returned to the Town $12,342.00. The Town also re- ceived in 1964 and 1965 $9,065.00 Federal Aid that we obtained. At the present time we are studying new Govern- ment programs that will give us further federal funds to help pay the cost of future expansion of our sewerage system. Tn the near future we will announce new sewer rental rates that will go into effect in 1966. Tn the warrant for the next annual Town Meeting in March, 1966, we will have an article asking for a new storage building for our equipment. The Sewer Commissioners wish to take this opportu- nity to thank the Board of Selectmen, all Town Depart- ments, Superintendent Kenneth S. Bearse and Assistant Superintendent Richard Prada for their fine cooperation. Respectfully submitted, H. LESTER SHERMAN, JR., Chinn. EBEN S. BINCKLEY RALPH L.

Pespectfullr submitted. DANIEL F. LEACH, V. Bi. ll. Animal Inspector Nags 153 REPORT OF THE TOWN OF BARNSTABLE BOARD OF HEALTH The Board has had a busy year. The following actions have been taken. 1. The Board voted to enclose swimming pools and to require certified life guards on pools over 2,000 square feet.. The Board voted that all semi-public pools have a swimmer on duty when the pool is open. 2. The Board voted not to approve any subdivision where the lot size is less than 20,000 square feet, unless town water is available. The Board was involved in a moderate controversy over a motel in one of the villages and restates its position of 1950 that it is the feeling of this Board that the Town, as a whole, should decide where it wants motels. It is not proper for any department to act in a judiciary capacity and be asked to use its police or regulatory powers to prohibit a motel or any building for that matter, if all other requirements are fulfilled. This Board is more than willing to act on any problem regarding sanitation in the Town, but it does not feel that it should be an arbiter in matters which do not directly concern it. The Board voted to and purchased a new truck for the sanitary area. The Board voted to hire Mr. Francis Lambert as as- sistant agent and this has been a happy choice. The increase in population, as well as the increase in construction, has made it necessary for two men to be pretty much on the go all the time to keep up with the various problems of the Board of Health. The Board wishes to thank Mrs. Marjorie Hull for running the office in an efficient and diplomatic manner. The Board has raised an issue, which we are certain will be controversial, but the Board is alarmed with the increase in subdivision developments insofar as they take up usable land, which we will some day require for a new disposal area. If the Town does not take action at some Page 154 early date, the land will no longer be available for three reasons: 1. cost 2. sufficient area 3. proximity of dwellings to the disposal area. The Board has looked very carefully into other meth- ods of disposal and whatever method is chosen, we will ultimately need more land. The Board has made certain surveys in the area, and we have met with a committee from West Barnstable, who are understandably opposed to our choosing their village. It is the feeling of this Board that the Town should appoint a committee with representa- tives from all villages to sit down and survey with the Board the possible areas, which we may further develop. The Board of Health feels that this problem transcends ordinary sanitation and is summed up in the statement "everybody in the Town knows we need a dump but no body wants it". The Board is suffering a tremendous loss in the re- tirement of Robert D. Chase. He has been a faithful, extremely conscientious, firm but fair representative of the Board of Health. Robert Chase's philosophy has always been that the health of the Town comes first, before any- thing else. His decisions have always been based upon the response which he received after proper and fair instruc- tion to the people involved with various sanitary problems. He cooperated closely with anyone who had a problem and his first concern was that the businessman be given an opportunity to earn; to learn of his problem and how- to solve it. There were many long hours put in after the usual working hours implementing this belief. He had close cooperation in all the Town and County officials because he was hard-working, kind, and was un- compromising in correcting things that were obviously wrong. In this somewhat cynical age of-"big government" the citizens tend to look with some skepticism on various government employees. Bob Chase is a living example of a devoted, honest, servant of the Town and we will sorely miss him. Respectfully submitted, JOHN O. NILES, M. D. Page 15 5 REPORT OF THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: During the year of 1965 there were 687 plumbing permits issued and $3,719.00 collected from these permits, this being 87 more than the previous year. Many of the older buildings in the several villages are being torn down and replaced with new structures. This causes many inspections to assure this department that these locations have sufficient area for proper sewage disposal. Again this year I have attended many meetings at the State Examiners of Plumbers in regard to the forma- tion of the new Uniform Plumbing Code which will go into effect statewide early in 1966. My past eighteen years of working with Robert D. Chase have been very rewarding ones. He will be greatly missed at this office. At this time I would like to thank all Town Depart- ments and the Plumbers for the cooperation received from them this past year. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E.

Each ,year seems to show an increase in the number served as well as the volume of visits. In 1965 - 460 fami- lies of Barnstable were served. For Nursing Care Office Visits 549 Nursing Care Home Visits 2242 Maternity Home Visits 498 Health Guidance Home Visits 320 `Tuberculosis Home Visits 95 Miscellaneous Home Visits 158 Total Barnstable Visits 3862 The total visits is an increase of 324 visits above 1964. Well Child clinics held each month except August re- veals an attendance of 115 from Barnstable, in the infant and preschool age group. *Since the reactivation of apparently inactive pulmon- ary tuberculosis is deserving increased attention from all concerned with public health, we have been doing more education and follow-up in this area. The entire staff appreciates the assistance and co- operation given by the Health Department. Respectfully submitted, AMELIA C. BEAUREGARD Executive Director District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis Page 15 8 REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. 1965 To the Board of Selectmen, Town.of Barnstable I wish to submit this report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1965. This department in cooperation with the Barnstable County Associated Boards of Health, Barnstable District Medical Society, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Vaccination Project has initiated a county- wide immunization program against diseases for which reliable vaccines are available. We are conducting an intensive educational program for the professionals and the community. We are recom- mending every family see their family doctor and get the necessary protection for each family member. There have been meetings for the professionals; radio, newspaper pub- licity and distribution of special educational materials through the schools and our local supermarkets for the community. Starting in September most .all schools have offered the necessary and recommended .booster immuni- zations to the entering fifth and tenth grade children. Some towns have offered tetanus immunization to the adults. The next step is to get all the pre-school children adequately protected. The objective of the Barnstable County Immunization Committee is to make adequate im- munization a part of each citizen's medical health super- vision. In December, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health has made available a limited supply of measles vaccine for needy children from 9 months through 5 years. The vaccine is stored in the Barnstable County Health Department and can be requested by the Boards of Health, Page 15 Boards of Welfare, and Well Child Clinics for their needy children. This department in cooperation with the Cape Cod Camp Fire Organization brought Dr. William Lynch, Bos- ton, an authority on family education, to meet with parents. This was a highly successful conference attended by some 250 parents from all over the County. The coordinated effort of the Barnstable County Hos- pital, Barnstable County Public Health Association, Boards of Health, Public Health Nurses, and this department, has resulted in a successful and workable follow-up program in Tuberculosis Control. Members of the staff continue to take an active part in community health activities. Mr. Decoteau and Mr. Tateosian have participated in the "Man Power Training" school for Cooks in Hyannis and special programs for cafeteria workers in the Bourne-Sandwich-Mashpee school union. Miss Howes is serving as Secretary to the Cape Cod Community Council. This is the organization recom- mended by the 1957-58 Harvard Survey of Barnstable Courity Health needs. Miss Susich is especially active on the professional advisory boards of the Barnstable County Mental Health Association, Homemaker's Service and Barnstable Council on Aging. In order to do a good job we believe professional growth is essential for each worker. To attain this, it is necessary to keep abreast of all changes in the field of public health practice. The workers in this department have attended their professional association meetings and seminars, Massachusetts Public Health Association pro- grams, National Association Conventions for sanitarians and Public Health. The county budget does not allow for out-of-state travel and the National Convention costs were taken care of by the individual staff members attending. Mr. Tateo- sian was privileged to attend a week's seminar in Cincin- nati, with all expenses paid by the Barnstable County Page 160 Public Health Association. Miss Susich attended a three day seminar on •"Communications in Public Health" con- ducted by Northeastern University and sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. I would be remiss not to share with you a concern for some outstanding needs: 1. The upgrading of salaries for all professional and office staff. The social worker vacancy has existed since August 1964 because of low salary. Qualified professional workers are in short supply and an adequate salary is an important requirement. 2. The need to interpret that the estimated popula- tion increases in Barnstable County will necessitate more qualified professional workers and properly trained and supervised aides in all phases of public health. 3. The need for extended preventive psychiatric ser- vices for children and a program for adults. Our adults must still travel to Boston for limited out-patient treatment. 4. The need for a social case work service for the family with social problems. 5. The need to prepare the community for the new medicare program for the senior citizens. We have much to learn and it is difficult to predict how we shall be affected. November 15, 1965, Ruth Crocker Giovanazi resigned as Principal Clerk after 22 years and 4 months of devoted service.

Tateosian B.S., R.S.--Public Health Sanitarian ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION During 1965 the department continued the inspection of all eating and drinking establishments and carried out laboratory tests in conjunction with the inspections. As predicted last year the number of eating establishments has increased and the work load is being felt by this de- partment especially during the summer months. The Cape along with the rest of New England felt the effects of the current drought. Several instances occur- red where private wells went dry, and wells adjacent to salt water bays became saline. In most cases wells were either relocated or driven deeper in order to obtain water. Public water supplies experienced a shortage but in the most critical cases it was due to inadequate pumping and storage facilities. With the rapid growth of this resort area we are putting extreme demands on our national resources. Motels, sub-divisions, restaurants and other facilities are even in- creasing, all putting a demand on the land for water and sewage disposal. Boards of Health should become more and more active in the planning and control of this develop- ment in order to prevent future public health problems. Once again we urge all Towns to consider a well planned land acquisition pro-rain for future water supply, sewage disposal and refuse disposal use. Other activities in environmental sanitation included inspection of Day Care Centers, Recreational Camps, Fam- ily Type Camp Grounds, shellfish areas, bathing beaches, and related laboratory tests. Page 162 NURSING SERVICE This year current data on the qualifications and per- sonnel practices for public_ health nurses in Barnstable County has been reviewed in line with the "Recommended Employment Standards for Professional Nurses," a guide newly published by the Massachusetts Nurses Association. Proposed increases in salary scales and re-affirmation of their plans to employ qualified staff were made by two public health nurse agencies and help has been given to those agencies which have done cost studies. Intensive orientation as to the role of the school nurse was given to two newly employed nurses who had not had previous preparation or experience. Contact has been made with three of the School Superintendents and with selectmen from three towns, and letters sent to some others, with respect to the role of the public health nurse and the need for continued growth and education. Instruction has been given to public health nurses in the management of salmonellosis and in tuberculosis nurs- ing. As a co-chairman of the Nursing Services Directors Committee of Barnstable County, the planning and con- ducting of programs for registered nurses and for licensed practical nurses has centered on.rehabilitation nursing and respiratory diseases. Through participation in Case Con- ferences, nurses in Eastham, Falmouth and Harwich are learning to strengthen their services and to work with other professional persons in complex family situations. Some direct services continue to be given to patients and their families. Applications, appointments, and trans- portation arrangements, for the local clinic of the State Crippled Children's Program are handled. Many inquiries are received indicating the need for help from a social or health agency, situations are cleared with local agencies, and referrals made here and elsewhere. Home visits are made according to the need where there is no nursing service yet, such as in Brewster; these visits might be Page 163 for premature home evaluations and for epidemiological follow-up. A new responsibility this year has been to share in approving the Day Care Services; a part of this yearly inspection includes evaluation of plans for handling ill- ness and emergencies and the protection of children. It is easy to see that many activities which are re- lated to nursing consume a great deal of time. The direct supervision of school and town nurses needs to be developed in a more organized manner with provisions for adequate planning and evaluating. This whole service is difficult to implement because of lack of direct line authority. As a whole, the community needs to have a better understanding of the functions of a public health nurse in community health services. DENTAL HYGIENE SERVICE The year of 1965 was a busy one including both direct service and educational work. Due to the fast growing population of the schools, it was not possible to include quite as many of the towns in direct service. However, Just as many children received the topical fluoride appli- cation as in the past years. The topical fluoride program was carried out in the towns of Orleans, Brewster, Chatham and Dennis. A toothbrushing pilot study was done in Barnstable in con- junction with the State Division of Dental Health and the Forsyth Dental Center. This consisted of a concentrated tooth brushing effort on a selected group of children to improve toothbrushing practices and oral hygiene stand- ards. The results were very gratifying and indicated that proper toothbrushing methods and education lowered the oral hygiene index considerably and might be one of the important methods of lowering the high caries incidence in children. During the summer months, fluoride clinics were held in the towns of Orleans and Fastham for pre-school children who would be entering school in the fall. Well Page 164 child Conferences were attended in Sandwich, Truro and Wellfleet. These clinics and conferences are important both from the educational standpoint and direct service. They offer the opportunity to contact the parent and to impress upon the parent the importance of the child visiting the dentist at an early age and the importance of good oral hygiene practices. Also during the summer months we participated in the program Head Start in the Barnstable School System. Dental Health Week, February 7 through the 13th was devoted to dental health education of the public. It in- cluded radio interviews, newspaper articles, T.V. spot an- nouncements and classroom and assembly programs. Much of this education was carried on through the year. In May of 1965, the hygienists on Cape Cod organized the Cape Cod District Hygienists' Association for the pur- pose of the following: to assist in promoting the art and science of dental hygiene, elevate and sustain the pro- fessional character and education of dental hygienists, promote mutual improvement, disseminate knowledge of oral hygiene; enlighten and direct public opinion in rela- tion to oral hygiene and dental prophylaxis and to safe- guard the common interest of the dental profession.

On Veterans' Day, November 11, 1965, a large parade was organized with appropriate ceremonies. Many towns- people came to witness the parade and attend the services at Park Square. We invite all interested persons to participate in our Association, because it really is yours. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES H. CROSS President Page 168 REPORT OF THE CARETAKER OF VETERANS GRAVES To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: I hereby submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1965. All veterans' graves in the twenty-one cemeteries of the town were in good condition and properly marked with grave markers and an American Flag during the Memorial Day period. This year a new complete listing of registered vet- erans and the wars they served in has been compiled and is on file at the Veterans' Service Office. At the date of this record, there are twenty-one ceme- teries, sixty-two memorial squares and parks and nearly seven hundred graves to be decorated. At this time, I would like to thank Park Superin- tendent Stanard for his kind assistance, and the perpetual- care crew for their cooperation in keeping the grave markers intact. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD B. HINCKLEY Caretaker of Veterans' Graves Page 169 REPORT OF CIVIL WAR CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE December 31, 1965 To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: As of this date the Barnstable Civil War Centennial Committee ends its duties of five vears. The period opened in January of 1-961 with a brief eeremonv at the Massachusetts National Guard Armory in Nva.nnis, this being the date for the start of the National Memorial observance. During the succeeding years a program for the towns- people was put on in the High School auditorium, "The Song-Angel of the Civil War," accompanied by an exhibit of Civil War momentos. The program was repeated another year for the High School students. At another time a program with a speaker was also arranged for the High School students. For the pupils at the Junior High School a. contest was offered in poster, essay, and speaking on phases of the Civil War. War bonds were awarded the winners. For several summers the Committee had on display at the Donald G. Trayser Memorial Museum in Barnstable village a collection of Civil War trophies. At the Town's annual Memorial Dayexercises at Beeebivood Cemetery in Centerville our Committee fur- nished the speaker for three successive years: Miss Wor- rell, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Cataldo. The sons and daughters of Union Veterans have each a national organization, with local branches. We found none in our Town or on the Cape. A branch could be formed here, if there were a desire for it, and our Com- mittee would be glad to help, if notified. During the course of these five years the Committee has purchased several volumes of notable current Civil War books which will be in possession of the Town, available Page 170 for circulation through our schools and libraries. The medals struck for this Centennial Memorial by the National Commission were also purchased for permanent keeping by the Town. The Committee takes pride in stating that, out of the appropriations granted for our work by the citizens at town meetings, we are returning to the town treasurer Starting with five members our Committee has been saddened by the death of two: Calvin D. Crawford in 1964 and Rowley J. Brockway in 1965. Both were devoted to the interest, of their Town and were most helpful in our plans. Following the death of Mr. Crawford, Mr. Wil- liam H. Covell of. West Hyannisport was appointed to fill his place. The Committee now lays its responsibilities down, hav- inre done what, it could to stress the national unity and industrial and scientific progress that resulted from the Civil conflict of 100 years ago. Throughout our term of office Ave have tried to emphasize, not the conflict itself, but the solidifying of this Nation into one body from the aggregation of states that existed before the War. We have also strived to inculcate these historic principles into the minds of our students - the youths who will tomorrow carry on our American traditions. Details of our various programs have been published in prior annual Town reports. Respectfully submitted, LOUIS CATALDO, Co-Chairman DOROTHY WORRELL, Co-,Chairman WILLIAM H. COVELL JOSEPH L. GREGORY Page 171 REPORT OF THE FOURTH OF JULY COMMITTEE To the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: This ,year the annual celebration of the Fourth of July was extended to a three-day holiday with the fol- lowina events: July 3rd Barnstable Village—Teeners Band Contest July 3rd Barnstable Village—Bonfire July 3rd Barnstable Village—Fireworks July 4th Cotuit Village—Cotuit Kettleers Baseball game July 4th Hyannis (Kalmus Park)—Band Concert July 4th Hyannis (Kalmus Park)—Fireworks July 5th Hyannis—Parade We were fortunate to have excellent weather and ca- pacity crowds at all events.

Lapham Glenn Clough Page 17 2 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Following eleven years devoted and skilled service as a member of the Board of Appeals, including chairmanship from 1963 to 1965, Rowley J. Brockway of West Barnstable, died suddenly in May. His tremendous knowledge of the case backgrounds and his keenness of working understand- ing of the purposes of the Board's assignments, makes his loss truly lamentable. During a several months' illness of R. Ralph Horne, Hyannis Board Member, Mr. William B. Shaw, a retired senior citizen of Hyannis, served very capably until Mr. Horne's return in December. Mr. Charles H. McGrath, a well-known Hyannis attor- ney and former member of the Board of Appeals, returned as a regular member. His earlier experience, coupled with his legal insight, has brought renewed strength to our Board. During the interval between Mr. Brockway's untimely death and the end of the year, Hyannis member Roland T. Pihl has served as Temporary Chairman. The services and guidance of our Legal Counsel, Rob- ert O'Neil of Hy annisport, have been fortunate buttresses throughout the year. The complexities of Modern Town Government functions do not grow any simpler as time unfolds itself. The board members carry forward their oft'-times thankless duties with experienced devotion and innate staunchness under the guide-lines of the Town's Zoning By-Laws to each and every case without fear or favor. The space standards for apartment construction that were hoped for in Rowley J. Brockway's report for the Page 173 year of 1964 have been adopted by the Town, following the Planning Board's recommendations. Now the construction of motels requires the same an- alytical action by the Town with reference to suitable and adequate automobile parking provisions. There are no es- tablished parking requirements in conjunction with the development of motels at this time. It is evident at once that proper standards of conformity should be established by Zoning By-Law changes. Medical office development similarly is without auto- mobile parking space regulations under the present Zoning By-Laws. Safe standards should be considered by the Zon- ing Board for their recommendations to the Town. Favorable response for adequate, new lighting fix- tures in the "Hearing Room" has been appreciated by the Board of Appeals members, and the many other users of this space are grateful as well. It further can be stated as a sensible request that the "space" for our "Hearing Room" should be furnished with proper ventilation equipment. Unbearable heat coupled with vitiation of the air, upon extended, crowded hearings causes this request to be acted upon as a tenable MUST. The acoustical properties of the "Hearing Room" space border on the band from "POOR to VILE". In order that proper exchanges of opinions at "Hearings" be heard, plus the guidance efforts of committee men and chairmen, this is a matter of unequivocable importance. Acoustical "Re- verberation-suppression," treatment of walls, ceilings and floors, plus low-output microphone equipment are much needed additions for the improvement of this area., and are hoped for most earnestly. The work-load for 1965 was 63 appeal cases, slightly greater than for 1964. Other changes that we might wish will be operational in nature, and subject, largely to self- examination. Replacements to the Board of Appeals, as vacancies occur from time to time, might well be, if possible, from Page 174 other villages of the town in addition to Hyannis, on a nroportiona.te basis. Wisdom, Judgment, Composure and Tmpartiality certainly are as well-distributed in other vil- lage. communities as in Hyannis. All of these, plus the many individual capabilities, are requirements which make tho decisions of the Board of Appeals so everlastingly important. The American system of checks and balances of the Authorities that are placed in our Trust must be maintained, to assure the intended promotion of the health, safet*v and general welfare of the inhabitants of and to inerease the amenities of the Town of Barnstable in the Co,iiunonwealth of Massachusetts. Respectfully submitted, ROLAND T. PIHL Acting Chairman Page 17 5 REPORT OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Board of Selectmen Town of Barnstable Hyannis, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The year 1965 proved a busy one for the Engineering Department which participated in many projects through- out the Town. The layouts of roads and streets accepted at Town Meeting were completed, and control bounds were established on the following: Cammett Lane, Marstons Mills Kay Avenue, Hyannis Cammett Way, Marstons Mills King's Way, Hyannis Glen Road, Hyannis Port Wianno Circle, Osterville Haven Lane, Hyannis Port Suomi Road, Hyannis Maple Road, Centerville Hill Street, Hyannis Sylvia Lane, Centerville Carlotta Avenue, Hyannis Crooked Pond Road, Hyannis Elaine Road, Hyannis Copper Lane, Hyannis Arrowhead Drive, Hyannis Portions of County Seat Clifton Lane, Hyannis Street and Suffolk Avenue, Hyannis In addition to the above, engineering work was performed on Popponesset Road, Cotuit; Shaw's Lane, Pine Street and Parker Road, West Barnstable; and many other intersec- tions and areas of downtown Hyannis. Our Department also prepared the necessary topog- raphical maps for the John F. Kennedy Memorial site on Ocean Street, and conducted a survey and provided infor- mation for studies to be presented on Bismore Park, Hy- annis. During the summer months survey lines were run from the Barnstable-Sandwich Town Line easterly to Scud- Page 176 der Lane as an initial step towards the Conservation Com- mission's Great Marshes Project. This project we hope to continue in 1966 and to have it ready for Town Meeting in 1967. Throughout the year this Department assisted as many of the Town Agencies as requested our services, along with several of the various committees. In the late fall direct co-ordination was established with the Planning Board to improve service to the public and to aid in the develop- ment of better subdivision control and standards for de- sign. Our Department Staff was expanded from four to six which allowed for further undertakings this year than in the past. Additional personnel should be added to keep pace with the growing needs of the Town in 1966. We have instituted an up-dating of our filing system,• purchased additional equipment, and achieved the enrollment of two of our present staff in home study courses in order to better serve the Town. In closing, I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation which I have received from the Board of Se- lectmen and all other departments and my entire staff. Respectfully submitted, WILFRED F. TAYLOR Town Engineer Page 177 REPORT OF THE HYANNIS TRAFFIC COMMISSION By vote of the 1965 Annual Town Meeting on Article 56, the following members were appointed by the Mod- erator to serve: Walcott Ames, Sr. James F. Pendergast Ralph A. Farnham Roland T. Pihl, Chairman Paul T. Lebel Nelson Stone Seward H. Mott Tragically, one of our most qualified members, Mr. Seward H. Mott, a retired City Planning Consultant and Engineer, died in December of 1965, after having served with distinction. At the meetings of the Commission, consultations were held with many advisory and interested parties; field trips and individual examinations of assignments devel- oped bases for recommendations. The magnitude of the task soon made it evident that the analytical suggestions of the 1964-5 Hyannis Traffic Committee, the attitude of the Selectmen, the experience of Whitman & Howard Engineers, the position of the rail- road, plus our own cogent ideas, should be grouped and merged into the best possible proposals for presentation at the Annual Town Meeting under the direction of the Selectmen. We soon achieved the posture that what we all were striving to accomplish was the greatest good for the Town of Barnstable. Individual beliefs must be placed second to the opinions of the group, and from that honest postulate we distilled the recommendations that we placed before the Selectmen. Our Town, our villages deserve the finest possible thinking, the best planning, the most intelligent approach to the solution of the dilemma of the automotive age. To the end that Barnstable's position of leadership may be maintained and a solution found to some of our acknowl- edged difficulties, our efforts are freely offered at this time. It would appear that there is so much more work to be accomplished that the Commission should be continued. Respectfully submitted, ROLAND T. PIHL, Chairman Hyannis Traffic Commission Page 178 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL ON AGING Since the regular town meeting of 1963, when the Council on Aging was voted into being, this group has been quietly active. While achievements have not been spectacular, with fine support from the Board of Select- men, results thus far are both effective and promising. From two sets of questionnaires directed to Barn- stable's seniors (65 and over) it was found among other things, that a counselling service was needed. So, under Miss Susieh's guidance, the advisory committee is studying such a facility in cooperation with Miss Mildred F. Walker. At the request of the Council on Aging, the Barn- stable Recreation Commission is developing plans for a wider Senior activity program, including: 1. Shuffle-board courts. 2. Reduced rates at the Town's beaches for those 65 and over. 3. A 25-cent admission fee at the Kennedy Rink, residents of Barnstable, 65 and over. 4. A possible summer time use of the building at Veterans Park, Hyannis. Barnstable voters can well be proud of their appointed Council members, serving this fine community faithfully and gratuitously. Along with the date of appointment, they are: Lucy M. Barker, .1965; Stanley Buckler, 1963; Rus- sell V. Burkhard, 1963; William C. Ellsworth, 1965; Fred G. Gallant, 1965; Frank T. Haley, 1963: John C. Linehan, 1965; Victor E. Mazzarella, 1964; Selectman E. T. Murphy, 1963; James F. Peebles, 1964; Daniel Serpico, 1965; Wil- Page 179 liam B. Shaw, 1964; Mary Susich, 1964; Rev. Kenneth R. Warren, 1964; Dr. E. E. Harvey, 1963, deceased. This roster covers well the town's resources, as sug- gested by the State Commission on Aging, including De- partments of Education, Recreation, Public Welfare, Civil Defense, Public Health, Retired Men's Club, The Villagers, Senior Citizens Club, Chapters of National Retired Teach- ers Association, American Association of Retired Personnel. The Council, under its second president, has a very promising future in view. Its nearby objectives are: 1. A Senior Citizen Center, available the year round handy to the fine facilities of Hyannis. 2. A Senior Housing Project, well located as to re- sources, and preferably on town-owned land. 3. Regular information and counselling service to our very worthy peers, and better re-utilization of the vast experiences of our retired personnel. As this report goes into circulation all Seniors are advised to keep in close touch with the two types of Fed- eral insurance available this July 1966, Hospital and Medi- cal. Contact the local Social Security office, if in doubt, or. your Council on Aging via the Barnstable Town Hall. Respectfully submitted, RUSSELL V. BURKHARD, Pres. Council on Aging Page 180 REPORT OF THE HISTORIC COMMITTEE In December 1964 the Historic Committee recommend- ed specific repair work for the old office of the Selectmen in West Barnstable. Knowing that the appropriation of 1�1..500 would not cover everything, they suggested which repairs should come first. Last Spring this work was done according to these suggestions. The Committee has been skeptical that entrance fees to the Barnard house, if made into a museum, would justify spending some $25,000 to $30,000 needed to repair, paint, renovate and furnish this building. Furthermore, when the Town bought the place it was thought to be the oldest house in town. Now the experts date it at 1740 rather than 1640 which lessens the interest in visiting it. The committee suggested that some action be taken on it at the special town meeting in 1.965, but were asked to postpone action at that time. The future of this old home is therefore still undecided. On the question of establishing historic districts in Barnstable your committee has consulted with representa- tives of Chatham and Yarmouth on their procedures and success in forming such districts in their towns. At the time this is written Sandwich and Yarmouth have set up such districts and Chatham is still trying. Your committee is considering three districts in West Barnstable, Barn- stable and Cummaquid and have outlined possible bound- aries and the form of an enabling act. At the special town meeting of November 30, 1965, Article V, the committee was granted $1,500.00 for the expense of hiring legal coun- sel, buying maps and any future printing expenses. With the approval of the selectmen we have engaged Mr. Rod- erick E. Smith as our consultant. He was the principal author of the Yarmouthport Act and as their lawyer was instrumental in getting it through the legislature and ap- proved by a Yarmouth Town Meeting. The work ahead of your committee for 1966 is to publicize and educate the townspeople on exactly what is planned, to try to convince them of its aesthetic and econ- omic value and to present for their approval as voters a sound and well-considered enabling act. Respectfully submitted, KENNETH H. BARNARD Chairman Page 181 REPORT OF THE BULKHEAD COMMITTEE To the Selectmen of the Town of Barnstable: The following report is given by the committee ap- pointed by the Moderator under Article 42 of the 1965 Annual Town Meeting, which committee was to study the need for improving the docking facilities at the Ocean Street bulkhead. The Committee gave a great deal of study during the busy summer months to the Ocean Street bulkhead area as all except one of the committee are in daily Hyannis waterfront activity during the summer season. We met as a body after the summer season and after a lengthv discussion came to the conclusion that the area is used fully and efficiently at the present time. It was felt that the commercial fishing area for loading and discharging could be improved. Suggestions of the Committee in this regard are to be presented to the Park and Recreation Commission. The Committee did feel that any added boating facili- ties in the Lewis Bay area would be of great value and look forward with great interest to a plan being studied by the Planning Board. No need was felt for inserting any article in the town warrant. for 1966. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD M. SCUDDER, Chairman L AUCHLAN M. CROCKER, JR. WALTER B. POLLOCK KENNETH J. BRADBURY, JR.

Barnstable, in special meeting assem- bled, do hereby proclaim and affirm our support and loyalty to the President of the United States in his efforts to bring a just and honorable Peace and real Freedom to all peoples who seek our aid and also to assure the members of the armed forces everywhere that we do think of them and pray for their safety; l that we do believe in the righteousness of the cause for which they are giving their lives, and that we are willing to pay any price, make any sacrifice, use any honorable means to support, to en- courage, to promote and to do anything Page 260 possible that will bring the honorable Peace and Freedom to which their lives are committed, hopefully by uncondi- tional negotiations if at all possible, but by other methods if unfortunately they continue to be necessary so that these good fighting citizens of our country may return to their homes and loved ones and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution be spread upon the records of the Town and a copy sent to President Johnson, to the United States Senators for Mass- achusetts and to servicemen from this area serving in Viet Nam.

The enrollment continues to grow by leaps and bounds, a tribute to our town. Normal projections on growth be- come obsolete overnight. Enrollment on October 4, 1965 was 3,703 and the faculty had grown to 204. Administra- tion, clerical and maintenance Services have also grown proportionately. We might add that you have every rea- son to be proud of the school system and its buildings in the town. Despite the unusual growth, we have made every at- tempt to keep the quality of education in Barnstable at a high level with due regard to the cost of such a program. As we have mentioned previously, the unusual growth has particularly affected the school system. The space, that was thought to be enough, is now extremely short and we hesitate to forecast where it will now end. We can only hope that you will bear with us to make the best judge- ment in the Town's best interest. An item for consideration for the Town Meeting will be the expansion of the Center- ville School to 22 rooms. This should give us the space necessary to return to the village school concept so long a part of Barnstable. Long-range planning has taken many hours of our time and will continue to do so. The complexities and space requirements of modern education need much de- liberate thought in order to prevent any waste or unneces- sary spending. The Willis Commission Report to the Governor will soon be implemented by the State and will, undoubtably, bring many changes to the face of education throughout the State. Page 31 1 The Education Act of 1965 as well as other legislation passed by the Federal Government will have a serious im- pact on the schools of the Town of Barnstable and through- out the Commonwealth. This and the many other programs of the Federal Government that affect education have ne- cessitated the position of a part-time Federal coordinator in order to guarantee a full share for education in the , town. These programs are now being investigated in depth and will be added as needs determine in 1966. The Salary Schedule in the school system has been revised to maintain our position in the market-place of quality teachers. We now range from $5,250 for a starting salary, to $9,250 in the top step of the Master's plus 30 scale. We would like to note here the retirement of Arnold C. Lane of Centerville from the School Committee after 6 years' of service. He gave unstintingly of his time and talents and the Committee has missed his presence. We are deeply appreciative of the dedicated personnel in the school system; thankful for the very fine cooperation of other Town Departments: and most happy to have been able to serve the Town of Barnstable. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. McKEON, Chairman ELROY E. ANDERSON, M. D. NORMAN BOUCHER P. GORDON NELSON MARJORIE ROBINSON Page 312 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS The year 1965 may well go down in history as a turn- ing point in American education, for it was that year that the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 was passed by Congress. As you read the pages which follow, you will note various passages that make reference to Fed- eral programs in education. It appears, however, that during 1965, education just slightly began to feel the impact of great changes which are to come. Some educators began to talk in terms of a $1.,000. per pupil cost instead of $500.; others mentioned a ten-to-one teacher-pupil ratio, rather than a twenty-five to, one ratio. There was discussion of curriculum changes, adminis- trative changes, and new methods of teaching. The words . "innovation" and "experimentation", began to be used in many school systems throughout the country. In some quarters, the Superintendent of Schools, even in small towns, began to be thought of as a "director and coordi- nator" rather than a "doer". Not all of the above can be attributed to the impace of the Federal government on local education, but the sig nificance of Federal legislation should not be overlooked. The Town of Barnstable was one of the first towns in Massachusetts to take advantage of new Federal legis- lation. It was not merely for the purpose of receiving funds that such action was taken, but rather with the hope in mind that we might improve our school system. The results have already been observed to a certain degree with a re-awakened interest of many teachers in improving our local school system. As one teacher remark- ed: "These are exciting times in education". You may rest assured, however, that there will not be change merely for the sake of change. New programs will be examined, tried, evaluated, and re-evaluated before final adoption. This message, then, is one of hope for the continued improvement of the Barnstable Public Schools. In conclusion, I would like to thank the School Com- mittee, professional staff, town officials, parents, and pupils as well as all of the organizations wliieb have cooperated with the Barnstable Public Schools . HARVARD H. BROADBENT Superintendent of Schools Page 313 BARNSTABLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Hazel V. Connor, Supervisor Arithmetic in the Barnstable Elementary Schools A committee of teachers from grades one through six has been evaluating the elementary arithmetic curriculum, and choosing textbooks which should further the arith- metic goals in the Barnstable Schools. Textbooks written in the past four or five years by companies which have many years of publishing arithmetic textbooks to their credit were compared for philosophy, content, and method. Three series were chosen to be used in pilot. studies. Advantages and disadvantages of format, presentations, explanations for pupils and teachers, guide- books, tests, drills, and skills to be taught were studied and discussed. Research, consultants, speakers, and demon- stration lessons aided in the final selection. A curriculum guide for the teaching of arithmetic is being written which will state the philosophy, the objec- tives to be reached, and the scope and sequence of arith- metic learning in each grade. The modern program in arithmetic can be recognized by: 1. the emphasis upon children's understanding of what numbers mean and how-they can be used; 2. children's discovering patterns and relationships in solving examples or problems; 3. forming generalizations, rules or laws which will lead to solutions of more difficult examples; 4. using a more exact terminology to identify cer- tain patterns and processes; 5. children's having concrete experience with manip- ulative material before abstract thinking is asked of them; 6. developing of fundamental arithmetic concepts and learning basic facts; 7. discerning relationship between the learning of arithmetic and the application of this knowledge in every day life. Learning the basic facts of arithmetic is still of the utmost importance, but learning with understanding per- mits the children to see the "why." Because of the in- Page 314 creased understanding and more teaching time allotted to the arithmetic period, more can be taught at each grade level. When children reach junior high school, the elemen- tary program will have been stepped up to meet the needs of the junior high school curriculum. In the first grade, the numerals 1, 2, 3, etc. are taught, but taught through the handling of balls, blocks, pencils, dolls, and learning that a block, 1 block, one block are, in meaning, identical. Bulletin boards let children see this relationship and watch the blocks, the numerals, and the words grow meaningfully together. s 14 � u is F� z Children begin to learn about different ways of mea- suring things, too. Through pouring water from half-pints to pints to quarts to gallons, they discover how much it takes to equal each. In the same way, inches, feet and yards are made known. Learning to tell time is fun when children can turn the hands of a clock to make it 9:30. Geometric figures are recognized, named, and used in the primary grades. Children find the shapes in the school- rooms: the clock circle, the tile square, the rectangular door. They construct lollipops, balloons, flags, trucks, ani- mals, barns, icecream cones from different shapes, and en- joy displaying them on a bulletin board. Page 315 3 a 71 -1 all tu a t Children work with "Number Men" in the second grades to understand the meaning of ones, tens, and hun- dreds, and to make the men show 543 or any number they are given. This leads to better comprehension of the num- bers which they will be using in examples and problems. a B " Fractions are not unknown to six and seven year olds. These children can understand that 2/3 needs 1/3 more to equal a whole one, that 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 — one whole, that 1/2 + 1/2 — one whole, that 1/4i 1/3 are smaller than 1/2. Page 316 Through working with the flannel board, they can dis- cover and learn many additional fractional facts. When geometric figures and fractions are to be studied in the higher elementary grades, the basis for understand- ing these areas has been established, and the children re- view what they have previously learned, and go on to de- velop new information and to form new concepts, under- standings, and facts. Basic arithmetical facts need continuous and supple- mentary drill to result in correct and automatic responses. Many aids have been manufactured to attain this goal, and teachers also create their own devices to help pupils learn the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. A pupil leader is showing an addition combination, and the class is responding by giving the correct sum by choosing from their individual sets of numbered cards. The abacus is used to help the pupil understand our base ten numeration system by manipulating sets of rings on rods. When a child reaches ten one, he changes it to "one ten" by putting one ring on the next rod to the left, and re- moving the others from the "one" rod. In the same way, when he reaches "ten tens", he changes it to "one hundred" Page 317 by putting one ring on the third rod to the left after re- moving the other rings on the "tens" rod. With the abacus, the children can place 2 tens and 5 ones, and add 2 tens and 5 ones, and see that this makes 50 or "5 tens", with more understanding than if they write 25 + 25 — 50 or 25. + 25 50 7 Page 318 One of the interesting games children of any grade enjoy is finding "how many names numbers can have". A second grader says, "I know 22 ways of telling about "11" and will illustrate with 9 + 2, 4 + 7, etc. In the inter- mediate grades, boys and girls challenge each other with larger numerals and work with not only the whole num- bers but fractions and decimals as well. In our modern mathematical programs, many new terms are being added as they become necessary. It is of great importance to the children that these terms be dis- played in such manner that familiarity is achieved easily. Bulletin boards can be arranged to clarify symbols, vo- cabulary, patterns, and the structural properties of the four fundamental operations of mathematics. From many educators' viewpoints, the most important contributions that the "revolution of modern math" have made to the elementary schools are the re-evaluating of the arithmetic curriculum, lengthening the arithmetic per- iod, and making it more interesting and challenging to pupils and teachers, emphasizing not mere rote learning but understanding of arithmetical vocabulary, principles, rules, laws, processes, and methods of arriving at solutions. New and varied texts, filmstrips, and many manipu- lative materials and devices are available to help children strengthen and expand their arithmetical knowledge. These activities lend themselves to differentiation of instruction so that individuals can work at the level where they need extra help or where they can be given extension and en- richment material. The arithmetic lesson in today's classroom is not just a roomful of girls and boys and a teacher working with pencil, paper and a book. It is a time for thinking, in- quiring, searching, discovering, evaluating and learning. Page 319 BARNSTABLE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL John C. Linehan, Principal The role of the junior high is that of an educational bridge between the elementary training and the senior high specialization. During this two (2) year period, guidance plays a vital part in the grouping for instruction, pupil adjust- ment, and development of each child as an individual. Teachers and parents also find that guidance is of great importance to them. When the children enter the seventh grade from all villages in the Town of Barnstable, plus Mashpee, they are familiar with the physical plant, understand how and why they are grouped, realize also the changes in the edu- cational format in these new grades. A definite plan is followed to guarantee that these children are properly in- formed as to what lies ahead. Valuable meetings between the Junior High School Principal and entering children are scheduled each spring and are held at the various elementary schools. Pupil schedules, marking, transportation and lunches are a few of the topics discussed. Meetings between parents of these pupils and the principal are also held during this time. Busses carry the various sixth grade groups to visit the junior high school during this same period. While these pupils learn about their future, building, and subjects, their classroom teacher's and guidance personnel exchange valuable information, have to do with this pupil transition. The variety of information obtained during the six ,years spent in our elementary schools serve as a foundation for each pupils educational growth while here. Past test scores, subject grades, attendance records and health rec- ords help to paint an educational picture of these young- sters. Using this foundation, we proceed to instruct, en- courage and enlighten according to the individual's re- corded abilities. During the seventh and eighth grade, each pupil will Page 320 be evaluated as to intelligence (grade 7 Otis, grade 8 T.E.A., both attempt to determine academic potential), aehievement. (grade 7 and 8 S.R.A.) the results of which are of great assistance to teachers in recognizing weak- nesses in instruction and pupil needs, interests to aid pu- pils in _selecting proper 9th grade subjects and courses. In grade 8, Prognostic Tests are utilized to aid pupils in determining linguistic and mathematical potential. Educational information is only valuable if utilized and made available to pupil, parents and teachers. The children in our Junior high school are aware of their po- tentials and also their relative achievements. Pupil test scores, and past records are available at all times. We welcome parental visits to discuss educational information and hear any suggestions that may aid parents, pupils and teachers to plan for the future and realize educational needs. Government statistics state that, . . . "onlyy 8% of the present job opportunities are classified as unskilled," there- fore, a minimuin of 921/, of our high school and college graduates must be trained as skilled or semiskilled citizens. Grade eight is the recognized time for pupils to choose the areas, -or fields, of education believed to be most ideal for each individual child. It. is the sincere hope of all involved that the children of our Town are properly prepared, ad- vised and motivated upon entrance into grade nine. This report should include some of the improvements made at the junior high school during 1965, such as the new gymnasium floor, the attractive stage curtain and draperies in our auditorium, overhead projectors, that have revolutionized much of our teaching. For these generous changes, thanks are due an interested school committee and generous taxpayers. Page 3 21 BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL Briah K. Connor. Principal The Class of 1965 *as the largest class to graduate from Barnstable High Sehool. but seareely had these 243 s,=niors gone their separate ways- than 369 young freshmen were knockingO at the doors. ur enrollment hit a peak of 1,104, and if the number of new students from out-of- towii schools continues at the present rate the capaeity-of the high school (1,200) will be reached in the very near future. It is interesting to note the changes in curriculum Bhoice of students in the high school today compared with the students of eighteen years ago. In 1947-48 thirty-three per vent of the students were enrolled in the college eonrse ,is compared to sixty-two per cent today. Forty per cent of the students in '`47-"49 enrolled in the general i•ortrse, and today thirty-one per eent of our students elected this program. The business course had twenty-six per cent of the students enrolled eighteen ,years ago, but today oily eight per cent of the students are enrolled in this course. The acceleration of this trend in the past five Years has resulted in the college course enrollment approxi- nwately doubling, the general course decreasing nine per cent, and the business course decreasing eighteen per cent. There have been changes made in the curriculum to enable the qualified student to pursue his studies in greater depth, and to update certain areas. Economic Geography has been replaced by World Geography in the business and general courses. The time allotment for Industrial Arts in Grade 10 was increased from two periods a week to five periods a week. Outside preparation is now required in Industrial Arts in all grades. Speech 1 was added to the list of-tenth grade electives. Art classes in grades ten, eleven, and twelve now meet five periods a week. A new Bourse, Mathematics 5 Nyas added to provide for a small group of college course seniors who completed Mathematics 4 during their junior year. The ; uidance department has increased its personnel this year with the help of funds from the National De- feiise Act, Title V. An additional counselor was hired in Page 322 r� September, bringing the total to three full-time counselors. This makes a far more reasonable pupil-to-counselor ratio in caring for the needs of our 1,100 students. The paper work involved in the students applications for education beyond high school has greatly overburdened the high school office staff. A full-time secretary was added to the guidance staff in November to alleviate this situa- tion. The new secretary is responsible for the preparation of students' high school transcripts and is secretary for the guidance office staff. The girls' basketball team won the Cape Cod League Large Schools Championship and was runner-up in the Cape Cod Principals' Association Tournament. They were invited to participate in the Southeastern Massachusetts Invitational Tournament and lost in the finals to the Han- over girls in an exciting, well-played game. The ice hockey team won the Cape League Champion- ship, but was eliminated in the first round of the State Tournament. Several spectators who regularly attend this tournament commented to me on how much our teams had improved each year since their first appearance in the Boston Arena. The girls' softball team was runner-up in the Cape Cod League. The Class C Baseball Championship for Massachusetts was won by the .baseball team. This is the first time a Cape team has won a state baseball championship. In speech competition our students again distinguished themselves. One hundred fifty students from fifteen high schools competed in the Massachusetts Secondary Schools Speech League Preliminaries and our team of twenty quali- fied seventeen out of the thirty-seven selected to compete in the state finals. In the state finals eight of our fifteen students who competed were medal winners. Forty-six schools were rep- resented in the finals and Barnstable was eighth in the number of medals received. Richard Cohen, the winner of our American Legion Oratorical Contest, advanced to the state semi-finals before Page 323 being eliminated. This was the best performance ever made by a Barnstable student in this contest. After due deliberation I have come to the conclusion that data processing should be used in'program making, recording marks, attendance, and in many of the other areas which are necessary in the administration of a secon- dary school. Just as the so-called lead pencil has been put in eclipse by the ball-point pen, so will the computer out- mode most of the present day practices in the offices of the high school, school department, and other town de- partments. BARNSTABLE VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL Victor E. Mazzarella, Director The Barnstable Vocational High School provides a wide variety of vocational education courses. Students in the regular day program may major in anyone of the seven trades offered; namely, auto mechanics, boatbuilding, carpentry, electrical, horticulture, marine mechanics and plumbing. Once again, the continued emphasis on vocational edu- cation has induced a large number of students to enter this type of training. The Vocational High School enroll- ment as of September 1965 has grown in major propor- tions-170 students. All in all, 82 new students were ac- cepted in the various departments. This has necessitated several additional problems in scheduling and extra rooms and additions to the faculty. The boatbuilding department and the electrical department have both acquired addi- tional instructors allowing these departments to operate every week as compared with every other week in pre- vious years. Also, the electrical department has now in- " eluded in its curriculum basic electronics. The Barnstable Vocational High School wants to a- chieve two major goals in vocational education. One—to equip our young people with all of the education needed to meet the skill requirements of the present and future labor market; two—to educate our young workers to be- come citizens who will find satisfaction in their occupations Page 3 24 and who will be proud of their accomplishments and con- tributions to our society. From the economic standpoint, Barnstable Vocational High School students through being able to command equitable salaries for their skills, are putting back into the economy their individual share of the community total earning power. This reflects on the economic stability of the Cape and surrounding areas. This year the Cooperative Plan was put in effect. This Cooperative Plan, wherein a student works every other week at the trade he is being trained for and returns to school on alternate weeks to complete his academic studies, has played a tremendous part in the placing of these stu- dents for profitable employment. This type of program is coordinated through the school and prospective employers. Information about job opportunities and aid in em- ployment placement are only a part of the guidance pic- ture at Barnstable Vocational High School. Students re- ceive training in job interviews; they discuss factors which are important in getting and keeping a job. Many oppor- tunities for work experiences under guidance are available. The counselor discusses with the student his potential in terms of his aptitudes, abilities and interests. The Work-Study Program was initiated this past fall. This program is designed to help youngsters attending vo- cational schools to supplement their income by working a limited amount of hours after school. This program is fully subsidized by Federal government and is administered by the Vocational Division of the State. As more and more students avail themselves of the trades offered here at the school, the lack of adequate space looms larger. All departments at the present time are overcrowded with little room for many more students without expansion. No students will be able to enter the auto mechanics and plumbing departments if State De- partment regulations and requirements are observed. Survey figures indicate a crying demand for a foods trade lab. Approximately 41 students at Barnstable High School have expressed a desire to enter this type of train- ing program if it is offered in the fall. All but three seniors who graduated in the 1965 class are now employed at their respective trades. Last June, 46 full-time, well-paying, steady jobs were'unfilled due to Page 325 the fact that not enough students have availed themselves of the opportunities offered at the Barnstable Vocational Hiryh School. Few people realize the actual cost to the town for the operation of this type of a school. During the school year 1964-65 the operating expenses amounted to $131,000.00, but the town received reimbursement for these expenses in the amount, of $113,000.00, making the actual cost to the town of $18,000.00 only. At present, plans are being formulated to coordinate existing programs with the various programs that will be offered at the new Cape Cod Community College. BARNSTABLE EVENING SCHOOL Victor E. Mazzarella, Director The Barnstable Evening adult education program once again has accepted record enrollment. This is a most en- couraging sign insofar as an innovation of a $2.00 regis- tration fee was levied for the first. time. This has simplified problems as far as insuring the membership. It has been noticed that a higher percentage of attendance has been attained. Even though several of the courses had received a full quota of class enrollees on the two registration even- ings, all but Apparel Design was initiated. This course was not conducted due to a lack of class members. It is hoped that this course will be instituted next fall. Several new courses have been added to the evening school curriculum; namely, Modern Math, Slip Covers and Draperies, Freehand Sketching and Drawing, and Stocks and Bonds. Due to the great response in the reupholstery class, it is currently being offered three evenings a week at the Osterville Administration Building. The course in Slip Covers and Draperies is being held in the same build- ing, thereby making use of the Osterville Administration Building four evenings per week. Courses also are offered in basic refrigeration, power squadron and real estate and a course for the training of Page 326 waitresses. The latter course has proved nmst successful and no doubt will be offered in the future. Once w'-ain. evening trade extension courses in plumbint and electrical are offered whieh are designed primarily to prepare stu- dettts for their licenses which are mandatory in these trades. Even though a $2.00 re;istrat.ion fee was charged to +� 98 (:curses, a, total of 506 people enrolled in the even- The record enrollment is significant in that several inonirics have been received at the Vocational Hi-h School office pertaining* to additional courses of a different na- ture that are anticipated to begin next fall. Numerous peon](, have made known their preferences pertaining to what type of courses they would enter. This would necessi- tate these different courses to be added in the fall to the current curriculum. SCHOOL HEALTH DEPARTMENT Robert D. lVatt., M. D., School Physician Ethel M. Aikens, R. N., School Nurse One of the most exciting experiences in the lteatth proErram this ,year was the participation of the school Phi si- eian and nurse in the "He adstart. Program". The children attending this program during; the.. summer_received physi- cal exams, vision and hearing tests, tuberculin tests, and dental examinations. Parents were assisted in the correc- tions of defects. This was an extremely rewarding exper- ience. The chief causes of absenteeism t.hrougliouf all of our schools during the school year were virus infections and the common cold. If the health of the adult population was surveyed it would probably show the same results in tinic lost. from business and other professions. It is hoped that as medical science has conquered other diseases, in tithe some discovery may be made that will control the fre- quency of these two infections. In the meantime, the hest control that the school can advise is to keep the child home at the beginning of a cold and start treatment intnw- Page 327 diatelv. It is better for a child to lose one or two days of school than to be present in school feeling uncomfortable and spreading the infection and then being forced to lose five or six school days. Pre-school registration and physical exams were con- ducted in the Spring. At this time the school physician has an opportunity to check the health of the child and make reeommenclations for any special school program if so in- dicated. Phvsical examinations of students in the first, third, eifhth,.and twelfth grades were conducted by the school physician. The school physician also examined the candi- dates for Varsity Sports:' girls' field hockey, softball, bas- ketball, and boys' football, soccer, ice hockey, basketball, track, and golf teams. All school personnel requiring chest X-rays were X- raved in compliance with Chapter 732 of Acts of 1950 General Laws of Massachusetts. The school dental elinies, sponsored by the Board of Health, were conducted at the Hyannis Elementary School for children in grades one and two if parents requested this service. The Massachusetts State Vision Test was given to all students in grades one through twelve. There were 133 children found to have defective vision and parents were notified of this condition. One hundred thirty one were seen by eye specialists. Audiometer tests were given to all students in grades one through twelve and a total of 81 students failed this test. Parents were notified. All tests given by the School Health Department are screening tests and should not be considered as diagnostic,, tests. The parents are notified of the results of these tests and are requested to see their family physician, eye or ear specialist for diagnosis and,treatment. In concluding this report, we wish to express our thanks to the parents, family physicians, and all health and wel- fare agencies in the town for the cooperation in maintain- ing good health in the school child.
