The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were verified by comparison with the treasurer's books and with the records of the several departments making the orig- inal charges. The disbursements as recorded were checked with the selectmen's warrant authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse town funds and with the payments as shown by the treasurer's books. The appropriations voted by the town, as shown by the town clerk's records, were checked to the accountant's led- gers. The ledger accounts were analyzed, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on September 11, 1952. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer, while the payments by the treas- urer were checked with the selectmen's warrants. The cash book additions were verified, and the treasurer's cash balance,on September 11, 1952 was proved by reconcilia- tion of the bank balance with statements furnished by the bank of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office. The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody Of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals being verified. The tax title deeds held by the town were examined and listed. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's books, and the tax titles on hand were reconciled with the accountant's ledger. 62 The books and accounts of the tax collector were exam- ined and checked in detail. The tax, excise, and assessment accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commitment lists were audited and re- conciled with the warrants of the assessors committing the accounts for collection, The treasurer coRector,s cash books were footed the treasurer n the collector were and the account ,the payments to With the untants books t checked to the treasurer's assessors' records of the abatements were compared outstanding accounts Wer abatements granted, and t1le spective ledger a listed and reconciled with the re- accounts.

Last spring, the parking area was oiled and graded, and marked off for parking. A breakwater was constructed to keep sand and water from the area and has proven very satisfactory. An extension of the breakwater on the north end would be a great improvement. With the advent of the Mid -Cape Highway, it is not uncommon to see cars at the beach from Worcester, Providence, Boston and many towns and cities in Connecticut, and if we are to accommodate them, a larger parking area is imperative. It has been brought to our attention that the beach should be kept open longer dur- ing the summer, and a larger appropriation will be asked for, to cover the added expense. ss A very busy summer at Skaket Beach, plus the limited Parking space, has shown us that if we are to care for our visitors who patronize this beach, we will have to acquire more in a rea at the present t and more parking area. g It is thought that the park - aime is large enough to accommodate the number of people that can use the beach without crowd- ing, and if we enlarge the parkin More beach, it will onl g area without acquiring Y cause unnecessary congestion. by the new parking area at Rock Harbor recentl acquired Town, has been graded eliminate y Park' congestion experienced nrtheepast d will Since our last report, the its oldest landmarks, the regretted b Town has lost by fire, one of Y us all.

Respectfully submitted, AR11iIR4 J' YOUNG, Chairman LLOyD R' BIGGINS KENDAI L R. IIIGGINS Orleans park Commission ss Report of the Moth Superintendent To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Town of Orleans Scouting last spring and summer for any signs of defoli- ation from gypsy or brown tail moths was conducted in the wooded areas of Orleans, I found the insect condition very encouraging. Twenty four gypsy moth traps were placed in the areas most likely to have moth infestation. Not one single moth was captured which is also very encouraging. However, we must not relax our vigilance because this pest, as we know by ex- perience, multiplies rapidly once introduced here. The elm leaf beetle is primarily a pest of village trees, partly because buildings afford most satisfactory winter shel- ters and the fact that elm trees are or have been planted in the residential areas. A continued spraying program for this insect and the elm bark beetle is being followed every year by the moth deartment. The tent caterpillar has been reappearing mostly on pri- vate property a good distance from the road. Wild cherry, the host plant, should be destroyed. Orange striped oak worm does not appear to be increas- ing, as I believe its natural enemies keep this pest in check, along with spraying with D.D.T. The spray machine should have a general overhauling. I do not believe in waiting until a breakdown to fix a machine. The cost of repairing sprayer, increased cost of materials and labor compels me to increase the budget. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A.

When a tree to which the beetles are attracted for egg - laying purposes has been weakened or killed by Dutch Elm disease, sticky masses of spores of the Dutch Elm disease fungus fre- quently develop in the egg galleries. When the young beetles of the new generation emerge they are frequently covered with spores of Dutch Elm disease fungus. They emerge and fly to a healthy tree to feed, in this case while feeding on the bark the young beetle with the spores of Dutch Elm disease dislodges the fungus, which continues to grow and produce another case of Dutch Elm disease. With this information several avenues of approach to con- trol are available. Since the disease is caused by a fungus, the problem of control might be attacked through control of the fungus. Spraying with a fungicide cannot be suggested, since the fungus occurs in the wood and the application of a fungicide to the tree's surface is not effective. The fungus it- self might be attacked by internal application of same ma- terial which might possibly kill the fungus inhibets its growth or render it harmless to the tree. Tree materials might be in- jected into the tree and applied to the soil for absorption by the root system, such methods are classified as chemotherapy.. Chemotherapy is considered to be a promising field for plant diseases but this method is purely experimental. Dutch Elm disease fungus is a living plant growing within a living plant. Any internal medication directed at elimination of the dis- ease- producing agency must be selective in its action and affect the fungus wthout producing any harmful effects on the tree in which it grows. The most practical way of control is by the removal of dead, dying, diseased or recently cut elm wood. Elm wood in wood piles should have the bark removed, be destroyed or treated by spraying with D.D.T. The other approach to control of Dutch Elm disease is through the control of the insects carriers is to prevent the insects from feeding on healthy elm. This may be done by spraying all bark surfaces with a D.D.T. emulsion. 72 To summarize our recommendations for control of Duteri Elm disease are as follows: 1. Healthy e sprayed with D.D.T.

This is very important for the safety of the general public and to enable us to have a complete record. The co- operation has been pretty good, but we feel that there has been a few cases not reported. Our records of the diseases dangerous to Public Health show the following cases reported for the year 1952.

The year again passed without there being reported to us any cases of preventable communicable diseases with the ex- ception 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 diphtheria, tetanus and smallpox, and some cases will occur following immuniza- tions. However, in the majority of instances, 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 immuniza- tion among children entering school for the first time in Sep- tember 1952. Information from twelve of the fifteen towns shows, that in practically all instances, more than 80% of these children had been immunized prior to entering school. The lowest rate was 71% and the highest rate 100 %. This indicates that preventive measures against such diseases as diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough have been well car- ried 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. 76 Probably the most prevalent disease caries or decay The situation People to � this area, is dental warrant much is too well known to most shows the results of dentalmphasls, but the following table aged 7, 10 and 13 in one examinations might be of school children, duplicated for town °f the Count other Tf)wr1S.

Other routine activities of the department have been carried out as usual. Every year we seem to encounter addi- tional 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.

Constant training has helped the firemen to provide more ef- ficient service and quicker response to alarms with a reduc- tion in fire losses. Hydrants are pumped regularly and checked again after each northeast storm which has a tendency to fill up the lines. Water holes have been cleared and graded as needed and all available water supplies in the town are kept under constant surveillance. This work is done by the volunteer firemen in their free time.

SNOW HUGO SD EIRICH Trustee now Library 91 Report of Orleans Library Committee REBUILDING SNOW LIBRARY To the Moderator of the Town of Orleans: The Library Committee herewith submits its report and recommendation on ways and means of rebuilding Snow Library. The cost of this Committee's work has been borne private- ly. No town funds have been expended. The appropriation Of one thousand dollars voted November 25, 1952, has not been utilized. I. THE PROBLEM: During the year immediately ahead of us, Orleans may face unprecedented demands on town funds. We must con- template the possible outlay of tax - raised revenues for a water system, a town office building and other improvements. Visited upon us during these times of inflated costs, the destruction of Snow Library must be considered a disaster, lessened only by the ten thousand dollars received in insur- ance and the generosity of individuals who donated books and money. Unwilling to add to our burden of taxation, the Library Committee studied the present and future financial position Of our town, so as to deal with the following questions: How big should a new library be, and how much will it cost, and can we afford it? Can we and should we erect a new building at this time, or should we wait? What would we get back for the money we spend? What are the alternatives to a new building? II. OUR T 92 OWN: The Committee, having consulted to Thusly oflth an serve that n0 public building Own Planners , is una t- ed unless five it slmportant to analyze for at least twenty-five years' e , so f Yze our ar as is possible, needs for the next twentY- Our Our present Year-rourll to som What be Aulation lnultpulation is approximately 1,750• n 6'000 and lies approximately four -fold, rionual t. wee 000, YearsnOur Year ro esd Po Population bles t summer un n flora p °pulatio pnlation itself in twen Y But the rat n almost 15,000, 1naY reach 3,500, and out averages.

Snow Library should not be rebuilt now unless we can do it approximately within the structure of our present tax rate. Assuming for the moment that the funds are available, What will a new library building give us? III. WHAT WE GET, IF WE DECIDE TO REBUILD: The old- fashioned village library is a white elephant. Costing thousands of dollars, keeping its doors open only a few hours a week, expensive to heat and maintain, uninviting for children, inaccessible for elderly people, impractical for the librarian's work, housing hundreds of outdated books, the typical old- fashioned library performs only a minimum of useful service, endlessly draining the town's finances. The modern village library is no such thing. It becomes in effect the community center for a host of practical, im- portant town activities. The basement becomes the civil defense headquarters. The building proper becomes a committee room, a small theatre and an auditorium. A room for each of these? No! The interior space is kept open, and the chairs, tables and l shelves are so planned that the same ibrary roam, housing its books, serves during other hours for lectures, recitals, meetings screenings, exhibition of arts and crafts, readings, and the display of historical antiques. 1. A public spirited citizen or a business concern usually gives the library a movie projector and scour children'socors donate classical and popular recordings* uer has already been promised a television set. The modern library does not shut its doors; it keeps them oAen. It absorbs into itself functions not now available in Orleans. It is simpler in construction and design than the library of yesterday, and in comparison is cheaper to main - taln. It is light, cheerful, open, comItri aused for anything It is a living part of the community. r 94 The Conunittee is unanimousl a librar planned and a libr Orleans, thus y of the opinion that sucri thus used, would and would be used almost constantly fill a need BOOKS: Boo The main responsibility of a library s In �estYe accumulated wisdom of the human race, ooK library essary in y to 11 the define the united States of America it is hardly library m3o well be place Of book °f life. the cornerstone s fn our lives.

This is a small library, not a large one. It is between one fourth and one third larger than the destroyed library. Such a library should emphasize books on Orleans, Cape Cod and New England. Newspaper files of local interest should be permanently maintained. A larger library is not necessary in Orleans for the for - seeable future. A smaller library would be a waste of money. V. THE STRUCTURE: The committee visited approximately thirty libraries in New England and consulted with eleven architects. Archi- tecturally, the Committee's findings can be summarized as follows: A new library building for Orleans should be one story in height. (Every librarian consulted deplored a balcony or a second floor.) It should be built at grade. (To save elderly people from climbing steps.) It should not be a converted old house, because no house investigated proved functionally feasible for library purposes. The interior should be open in design, to permit supervi- sion by a staff of one librarian. There should be plenty of parking space. The building should stand free of other buildings, so as to provide serenity, light and air. To house from 12,000 to 15,000 books, the building will need approximately 3,000 square feet. This can be visualized as a structure sixty feet by fifty In architecture it should h' nd. harmonize with the justly cele c a - Vl• LCCATICN; 96 Circumstances beyond town of snow Library control render the old site unsuitable.

School authori- ties, librarians, library users, town officials and library trus- tees are of almost one Vol ce. The combination of functions difficult or im- is not practical. Future additions become Possible. Responsibility and authority are divided and the town gets poorer service. No money is saved in maintenance, and little in construction. It would be absurd to combine an office building with the school. Yet in every practical sense a public rounds, privacy same requirements as a school: light, air, g and a pleasant atmosphere appropriate to the place. And since it is used by adults at least as much as by children, it should properly not be near the comings and goings of classes. apable that if Orleans is to build The conclusion is Ines a satisfactory small library, we must build a satisfactory small library, and not build something else. (c) The possibility of converting an old house was en- tertained by the Committee, but there is no such house avail- able for practical library purposes. (d) The present rented quarters of the library are al- ready overcrowded. There is insufficient parking space; the location is not central; there is a serious traffic hazard and a fire hazard; there is no room for staff work. IX.

New construction has also been done on fifteen hundred (1500) feet of Unity Acres Road and one thousand (1000) feet on Doane Way at Nauset Heights. The sidewalk on the north side of Main Street was con- tinued from the Town Hall to the Federated Church and the much needed sidewalk from the Center Four let d in conjunce residence of Mr. Herbert G.

Very little repair work was necessary on the Rock Harbor ' wharves. A ramp to make easier the loading of shellfish A onto the buyer's trucks was built last summer and proved of great assistance and a big time saver. These wharves were kept in order as usual, and both wharf and range lights re Placed when necessary. We are glad to note that much needed dredging and erosion work is to be done in the near future at Rock Harbor. More wharf space is also greatly needed to relieve very bad docking facilities. The wharves and floats at the Town Cove and Meeting House River were put down and taken up at the proper times. Swimming ladders were installed on these boatmen and these wharves are extensively used by fishermen, nee very little repair work k or re- The Town Cove wharf will and Placement parts this coming year, but ,River" considerable whrf in safe material will be needed to put the condition.

As dition was noted, the area was opened but only a relatively few clams were taken for family use, the other area before Mentioned, Asa's Landing, lower Town Cove, is still doing well and may be ready for family use next fall. If these clams con- tinue to grow and survive, it is imperative thE.t they be left being in the soil over the spawning season of next year, there so very few parent clams anywhere else in the Cove. There are a few very small areas of soft clams in several arts of the Town from which we hope to get some spawn All clam areas with the exception of the Meeting House Pond, are closed until further notice, for spawning purposes.

The high school group this year is definitely one of the best, if not actualy the BEST on Cape Cod. In rehearsals the chorus sounds very similar to that of a selected Festival chorus. Numbering approximately ninety students who have elected music, results have been very gratifying, and I hope, somehow, time may be found in the busy curriculum, to give them opportunity to perform in extra ways musically.

Parents were notified of defects and given advice in regards to making cor- rections. Dr. Frederick Moore, B. C. H. Office, held the toxoid vac- cination clinic in the fall for the first grade children. This consisted of giving boosters only, as most children have three series before entering school. In the late winter Mrs. Alice Dalzel, B. C. Public Health Hygienist, conducted the Fluorine Clinic. All eligible students took advantage of these treatments, except those that had applications by private dentists. During the year a number of children attended, the Crip- pled Children and Speech Clinics that are held monthly at the Cape Cod Hospital. Parents of school children wishing to attend these clinics may obtain application blanks from the school nurse or Mrs, Marion Chase, R.N. for pre-school chil- dren. A pre - school physical check -up was held in May by Dr. Norris Orchard, consulting pediatrician of the Cape Cod Hos- pital, for the incoming first grade. This gave the parents the opportunity to make corrections of any defects during the summer months. Children not attending this clinic had their physical examinations by private doctors. In June a registration day was held to obtain health, mental, and vital statistics on children entering school for the first time. In closing, I wish to thank the parents, faculty, and all persons that have made posible a progressive Public Health Program. Respectfully submitted, DORIS A. POND, R.N.
