On the basis of the $50,000. cost, the Town's share would be $12,500; County's $12,500. and State $25,000. We were extremely fortunate in obtaining this previous bulkhead and dredging work at a total cost to the town of $5,000., on a project cost exceeding $100,000. In the case of this additional retaining wall, we will have to comply with the department stipulation of half the cost to be borne by the town and county. It should be evident to everyone how important this harbor has become as a local source of revenue, representing a vital local industry and we strongly recommend approval of this article when it comes before you. We have started proceedings for the Town to acquire title to the Beach area from the present town ownership extending to the Chatham line as additional beach. With ownership in the town, we will be able to control the use of this area and prevent abuse which inevitably will occur un- less we have such control. Work on the alterations and construction at the Old Ele- mentary School for Town Office use, is progressing and we hope to be in our new quarters by the time this report is published. With the many actions approved by the Town in the past few years, some of them, such as the New Elementary School and Regional School representing substantial costs over a period of twenty years, we believe we have come to the point where we should pause and consider whether at this time we should obligate ourselves for further long term borrowings. An important factor which would substantially contribute to the cost of such borrowings, is the high money rates, which at this time are approximately 4 %, which is nearly double what it was 3 years ago. The rate at which we are able to borrow is of vital importance. Your Board of Selectmen operates in harmony and devotes all the necessary time to the general administration of the town government coming under its jurisdiction. We welcome suggestions or criticism where justified. Our only interest is serving you well. ARTHUR R. FINLAY FRANKLIN S. MURRAY RICHARD H. ADAMS Selectmen 11 10 SALARIES PAID IN 1956 William I.

All these Points in the past have been a constant problem to the de- partment as to where to go for water in case of emergency. Our equipment is in good condition except we feel the Buffalo pumper that has served us well for seventeen years now needs a complete pump overhaul and we plan to have this work done by early spring. Again we are glad to report we see no major expense for the department for the next few years. We wish to thank the citizens of the town, the Board of Selectmen and our call or volunteer firemen for the excellent cooperation during the past year.

These regulars, who perform police work as a full time job are Charlie E. Jones, Albert L. Watson and John C. Urbanski. It is around these three men that the remaining two categories, namely the "Special Police" and "Auxiliary Police" function. The "Special Police" are a group of men, ten in number, who augment the regulars during situations when it is either physically or tactically impossible for the regulars to cope with a situation. Although these men are paid for their work, the number of man -hours they put in for the amount of money they are paid will show that there is more to it for these men than the monies received for their work. These men include, George A. Bissonnette, William F. Blaisdell, Russell L. Boyer, Philip A. Deschamps, Robley E. Fulcher, Jr., Henry W. Landers, Douglas N. MacArthur, Thomas S. Stew- art, Raymond H. Squire and Philip P. Peterson. The third and final group of men that go to make up the Police Force are the "Auxiliary Police ". This group of men do police work at hurricanes, floods, bad fires or acci- dents but you will find them keeping their fingers in police work at our annual Memorial Day and July 4th parades and celebrations. These men offer their services under the Civ- ilian Defense Act and many free man -hours are donated to the Town. There are sixteen men in this group and they include: Richard H. Adams, David H. Bessom, J. William Costello, Elmer R. Darling' W. David Edwards, Clarence E. F'ug�ns, Robley E. Fulcher, Sr., Joseph W Higgins, Reginald L. Hi David E. Johnson, Franklin Joy, G.

Whether he is a Special or an Auxil- iary Police Officer, he is fully equipped and has had equal training and the only difference between these men are their practical experiences. I want to thank a every one of my reg oume special and auxiliary police and for their services to the town. I also want to thank the Board of Selectmen oft a department heads, and each citizen en of e the oewn for their excellent co- operation.

MacARTHUR 47 Report of the Highway Surveyor To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of the Highway Department for the year 1956. The Spring of 1956 which included a very stormy month of March, was followed by its usual routine of patching, picking -up sand, fixing shoulders and scraping dirt roads. Our winter storms are always followed by this type of constant clean up and patching. This is not a seasonal thing only, but is continuous throughout the year. Then warmer weather brings new construction in view, followed by the vacation travel during the summer which constitutes great activity and wear and tear on the highways and roads, involving the necessity of more help. With this in mind, I hope to have two men and your surveyor working on full time abreast throughout the year. Only in this way we c of work to be done and have an efficient Highway Department. With my experience in hiring help I know a man working on a full time job takes more interest and does more con- scientious work than one who is only working part -time. Of course this means an increase in he budge , and is emphasize again, the first thing concerned is adequate funds to be available. Rock Harbor, P°Chet, Nauset Heights, Great Oak and Smith Neck Roads were scraped and seal- coated. Many more roads will need this work done in 1957, which will mean an Increase in the general repair budget. Landing at Barley Neck A new approach to the Town was constructed by this department installed at the junc- Catch basins and drain pip Skak Beach and junc- tion of Main Street, Namskaket Road, site the Federated Church. On the northerly side of Tonset Road Extension, 3,800 feet of sidewalk was constructed.

Heat and drought account for a very high per- centage of the troubles that afflict shade trees. Wilting of foliage twigs begins then larger branches die back. Dryness robs a tree of moisture from the leaves to the roots. A tree so weakened is susceptible to insects and diseases. Warden To save trees that are, h injection of 1 quid efertil zer drought injured, your invigorates with a low pressure in the soil around the roots. This quick stimulus will perk up a drought - wilted tree within two days. This is followed by an application of dry fertilizer. Trees are not only beautiful in themselves, but they change the whole character of a road or neighborhood for the better, making it more attractive and more comfortable. Experience has taught us that few tree owners notice nied early symptoms of disc es or and ac t mely call arly recognition of symptoms prevent serious developments. help will in most most cases P injurious Few indeed realize the significance aof c insects or factors as continued Poor growth, or the etc disease, changes of water table r nviro me reserve supply results seldom show the first y tive means of re- of food is gone, feeding and other correc storing must be taken or loss of health will follow.

The scallop season in Orleans was poor from a commer- cial standpoint for Pleasant Bay but there was an ample supply for family use and the outlook for 1957 appears to be favorable for another good year for the commercial fisher- men as there is a good supply of seed. There were no scallops in the Town Cove but there were 72 bushels of clams taken for family use which shows a favorable sign of the return of this favorite seafood.

At Skaket Beach conditions remain about the same as last year with ample parking space and Bathing area for the present time. At Nauset Beach the Parking Area was filled to capacity about ten times last year, mostly on weekends, and in a special article we are asking for money to raise and grade the low place at the entrance. The fill required for this will be taken from the end of the area and same will be paved giving an added space for about fifty cars. We find that the Bath Stalls are being used to capacity most of the time and as many as thirty people have waited in line at times for the chance to change their clothes; in our budget is a request for money to install the Pump and the building so that we may have added space for installing more bath stalls.

The latter move was also suggested by my predecessor, Herbert E. Hoyt. At this Writing, newly - formed region (Eastham, Or- leans, Wellfleet) involving two of the towns of this Union' may serve to precipitate the dissolution of the Union. Inds_ cations are that a move toward this objective may be made early in 1957, with consummation coming during the Year' if a majority of the constituent school committees and tri e State Department of Education approve. Among the union supervisors two changes occurred during the year. Mr. Edward Bolton was elected art super- visor, replacing Mr. Leo Ferris. Mr. Bolton is responsible for the direction of the art program for the entire union, and the duties of instruction are shared by Mr. Vernon Smith' Mrs. Iris McKenney was elected to teach some of tile vocal music at Harwich, relieving Mr. Whit, of his work Tile °f the increasing number of classes uin hevotheretowins.eet w1t11 Instrumental music in all the towns waxes encourag` ingly.

The entire staff is to be complimented also for its loyalty and cooperation through a difficult time. On November 5th Mr. Armand A.

Due to the lateness in the year of his arrival, there will be no Report of the High School Principal for 1956. Miss Faith D. Ellis was married in June and Miss Jape B.

One of my most legitimate basic aims in the Teaching Of Music in your Town is to give your children a real love of singing (and, for some, playing) and enjoying fine music. The appreciation of music, cultural familiarity with it, the social satisfaction of feeling oneself a participant in group singing or playing, and the use of music as a leisure -time pursuit, all necessarily follow from a genuine love of good music. This can be achieved by giving children musical ex- perience from kindergarten on, that is basically satisfying to them and that familiarizes theirs as participants with the best music available. We climax this with three grand Festivals each year; our Union Festival, (with thanks to the Harwich P.T.A. this year as hosts) ; our Cape and Islands Massed Music Festival (with . thanks to the Chatham P.T.A. this year as hosts); and the All New England Music Festival of Chorus, Band and Or- chestra, held this year at Claremont, N.H,, to which we sent students from all Towns of our Union.

As these youngsters get to the high school grades each year our groups will grow sizably, as in- creasing numbers are coming each year. This fall for the first time we have started a music appreciation course in the seventh grade. This is a two year course which will be taught to both the seventh and eighth grades next year. As previously mentioned, the seventh grade schedule does not allow them to play in our musical organizations. They have available only one period for instrumental instruc- tion while I am in Orleans, thus I am unable to see each student weekly. Another problem is that of scheduling other club and group meetings during the band or orchestra period causing a conflict with many students. Far the canning yearn festival plans have already been made with the Union Festival scheduled at Orleans and the Cape Festival scheduled at Barnstable High School. As yet we do not know where the New England Festival will be but are planning to attend it also. I wish to express my appreciation to all my friends in Orleans for their cooperation in helping me carry on the instrumental program.
