Many other aspects of the Clerk's office are be- Town Clerk ing studied by the State,and in time,we perceive that other services such as acquisition of birth records will be available through a State network as well. The era of computers is truly amazing, and we are on the beginning journey down the highway. We registered over 3,469 dogs, again another increase of almost 5% over last year. We also al- lowed dog owners to register their animals by mail - and because it was such a successful program, we will continue it. We sent out notices to owners and gave them the information needed to register by mail -we then, with our dog program that was developed in house,input the information,and dog licenses were printed by the computer. We saved money with the printing of forms and saved time as well. Dog owners did not have to stand in line,and for working dog par- ents, it was a help. We held a preliminary and regular Town Election this year-the election results of which will follow this report. This will be a busy year for us election-wise: Jan. 16 will be a Special Election; March 5 will be the Presidential Primary; September 17 will be the State Primary; November 5 will be the State (Presidential) Election; and possibly another special will be held in the Spring. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the wardens and poll workers(over 120)who work very hard to make the election process work. I am very grateful to all of them for their efforts. 34 t- in oo C4 C4 e4 4 '. �o 0 r4 in " Wl00000t- r4 00 '0 ON 0' ,a e4 00 4 t- t, m P 0 0 0 to in a wl e4 in m 00 t- in oo 10 t- In �o 0) 00 tn e4 " rq Ch t� a 0 0 0 (4 en COD tr) ;; = c. r4 th ei CY, 0 t 0 C4 N --——————————— en Ei > > 0 0 U C) 35 90 0 1w w CW4, Oct $ coo me f4 r4 e4 fn Rn O =tnmch000m A fn r4 M Rn fn C4 ON eGo = coo " mo ,"4tnal Q '2 %n 0 I"n 0 c D 0 IT 0 t- 11 t " -T en in C4 C4 C4 fn fn Go C, a w t- r4 m c CD m 0 o '0 -W C4 r4 tn a, r4 m 0, e4 en e4 00 a, Cl %a tn e4 �c - 10 0 kn 0 tv ton t- r4 C kn fn 10 tn t, C4 r"4 in In In 'n t:!

We have worked closely with the Barnstable Dis- ability Commission via the Parking Program in the enforcement efforts of the Volunteer Handicap Park- ing Patrol. The Weights and Measures Program has been very successful,resulting in a savings to the consum- ers of Barnstable of over$363,000.00. This has been accomplished through the efforts of an extensive pro- gram of device testing and spot inspections of pre- packaged goods for net weight compliance. The Non-Criminal Program involves the issuance of tickets for ordinance violations, enabling persons to pay a fine in lieu of appearing in District Court.
