At the February, 1954 Annual Town Meeting you will by your votes, make decisions that will have far - reaching effects upon the future of Orleans. We urge each of you to attend this and all Town Meetings and to vote as your careful study of the issue indicates. ZONING: We feel that the time has come for Orleans to adopt a Zoning Code. During the past year we have been given petitions of one kind or another signed by hundreds of citizens. In effect, these petitions asked us to act as a zoning board. The proper way to handle this matter is for the Town Meeting to vote a zoning law which will accomplish the desires of a majorily of the people as to how land in Orleans shall be used. TOWN WATER SYSTEM: A $1,140,000.00 water system is proposed this ,year. Whether or not Orleans can afford this system at this time can be decided only by those who will pay the bills — you, the taxpayers. Town water is desirable for fire protection and in a few crowded areas may be necessary from a health point of view. Most Cape Cod towns now have a system, either town or district, and it is probable that Orleans will sooner or later have one too. On the other hand, it now appears that it will be necessary to spend between three and five hundred thousand dollars in the next two years for improvement of our schools. It should also be noted that the estimates of the engineers are based on the prediction of a continued yearly rise of $300,000 in valuation. If new construction should slow down, the tax increases for water will have to be greater. Each voter must decide whether or not he can afford to pay the increased taxes which follow, as inevitable as night follows day, when new public services are voted. TOWN SCHEDULE FIRE INSURANCE: All town - owned buildings are now insured against fire on a town schedule. We are indebted to Mr. C. A. P. Johnson, Mr. Norman Crane and others, including the agents concerned, for their help in establishing this schedule. The original division among agencies was made by us as follows: Rogers & Gray, 28%, $221,200.; Henry T. Crocker, 28 %, $221,- 200.; Sidney T. Swan, 207r., $158,000.; Richard F. Rich, Jr., 16 %o, $126,400.; James W.

OL L ted IUI do Insect Pest 5uPerin -57— Report of the Tree Warden To the Voters of the Town of Orleans: Dutch Elm Disease has been found in Orleans this past year. 14 trees (confirmed) were removed and burned at the town dump. Now the problem of fighting that foreign fungus that threatens our elms is crucial. for we can slow down the invasion nh d gain time to check it We are not likely to lose the elms as a species, as was the case with the chestnut, provided we are willing to make a reasonable effort to save them. The real problem is to face the issue and spend money in protection rather than in the removal of trees. As a matter of economy and insurance, Orleans should proceed to protect its elms now. The 1953 drought in Orleans, which induced widespread leaf scorch and premature defoliation, served to remind us of the inevitability of dry spells and their effects on trees. Droughts, like leaky roofs, are likely to be forgotten soon after the weather changes. However, as with leaky roofs, damage can be prevented far more easily than it can be cured. Where shade trees are concerned the probability of serious drought injury may be materially reduced by wise selection of site, special care in transplanting, avoiding mechanical injury to roots, regular protection against pre- disposing and contributory pests and by supplying water when rainfall is deficient. Keeping plants healthy means providing them with optimum cultural conditions and warding off their more important enemies. There is no tree or plant that does not need some care and this is certainly true of roadside and street trees. The one natural asset Orleans has that beautifies the town is its trees. Like all living things, trees will die but we can prolong and enjoy their beauty and life. Picture if you can Orleans without its elms. Your tree warden in the past has been working on a limited budget and has been warning and reporting to the taxpayers of Orleans the seriousness of Dutch Elm Disease. The ,yearly maintenance of other trees was performed. Cavities were filled, mechanical and storm damages were corrected. Roadside spraying for the eradication of poison ivy and brush has progressed successfully with very good results. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER, Tree Warden. —58— Annual Report of the Board of Health To the Citizens of Briar the followe Town of Orleans: Of sanit Y, survep plaints by w tihlthenaid art ularly in the he center3of Tom were issued tj2ens f state and count experts, 50 anitary test by the Bore given Prompt attention; llcell °pnditio rveys and made by agents of the Board. n m °ntin rodent" c0 trol s° 'age and resulted in improved say ed as dbetterdstoxa g prevehgv has beenago ductedea d aisubp the use of W °f garba a and corrective measures'dun'p in dell .

Report of Barnstable County Health Department To Board of Health Town of Orleans: This is a brief narrative and summarized statistical report 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 centimeters of the material was furnished on the requisition of physicians. We wish to express our appreciation to the hospital 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 Department of Public Health.

They felt, that such a sum would provide the necessary equipment for the Library which was not specified in the contract for the building. The Trustees are very gratified to report that, as of January 1, 1954, the amount of the Equipment Fund stands at $7,387.38. The fact that the drive has exceeded its quota means that equipment of a better quality than originally planned can now be purchased. It means better furniture, better book shelves and all'other necessary items that go into the furnishing of an efficient library. For this generous response the Trustees hereby wish to record their sincere thanks, for it means that all who use the Snow Library for many years to come will have the advantage of a really well - equipped building in which to browse, to read and to enjoy the world of books. The Trustees also hereby express their deepfelt thanks not only to the many and generous contributors to the Fund but also to the many volunteer canvassers who by their individual efforts made the drive as a whole such an outstanding success. It was indeed a fine example of com- munity effort in a cause whereby the whole community will benefit in the years that lie ahead. HARRY H. SNOW, HUGO B. SEIKEL, S.

The roads at Nauset Heights, Iyanough and Priscilla, together with the parking area, was completed, as voted. Also a new bulkhead was installed at Paw Waws Creek, at the end of Portanimicut Road. The contract under Chapter 90, which was in the process of construction at our last Annual Town Meeting on Tonset Road, was completed early in the year, and an additional two thousand (2000) feet under the new contract, authorized in 1953 has been finished. General repairs, maintenance and sealing has been carried on throughout the Town. I would like to express my appreciation to the voters for the purchase of the Front End Loading Tractor, with its auxiliary equipment, as this has proved a great addition in accomplishing the work of the Department. All possible care has been taken of the equipment under our supervision but each year's work takes its toll and replacements will eventually become necessary. I would like to expres's my appreciation for your continued co- operation and help to the Department and wis h to call your attention to the detailed report of expenditures contained in the Town Accountant's Report.

This year, both Pleasant and Little Pleasant Bays have produced scallops of excellent quality. Although the price paid fishermen has been the lowest in many years, it is estimated that up to the time of writing this report (January 3) the income from scallops in these areas exceeds $45,000.00 and is at present about $6,000.00 weekly. However, these areas will soon be much less productive and only scattering scallops will be found for the remainder of the season. The picture for 1954 as to scallops is not bright, as very little seed is noted anywhere in the above mentioned areas. However, a real effort will be made to find and trans- plant seed scallops, if only in sufficient quantities to provide spawning stock for 1955. There is always the chance ce that some unforeseen work of nature may p a p at scallops when least expected. Because of the fact that over 200 scallop permits were issued and used and the necessity of a patrol of the Town lines in Pleasant Bay, it was found necessary for the Shell- fish Constable to have an assistant for part time duty. The selection of Mr. Arthur Young by the Selectmen was an ex- cellent one, and I wish here to acknowledge my appreciation for his assistance during the busiest days of scalloping and for a job well done. The quahaug situation is much the same as last year. Fair, deep water raking is found in Pleasant Bay and some other small areas. On our flats and shore areas a continued lessening of these shellfish is very apparent. Prices hold fair to good for all sizes. A planted area at Asa's Landing, Town Cove, was opened in early summer and has continued to produce quahaugs for family use up until very recently. Some seed on this bed and nearby is presumed to have come from this planting. Many of our own people and summer visitors make use of such beds each year and are high in their praise for the opportunity given them thereby. A total of 250 bushels of mixed sizes of quahaugs were put into the Meeting House Pond during 1953. A part of this planting will be opened for family use this coming year !Ii �I �I qi —74— for ana and the remainder willlsb s protected for spawning purposes Year or two. as an experimental area forrt of a Plan to use this pond culture.

Notices of regular and special shellfish regulations are posted at the Town Hall, in our three Post - offices and published in our local papers. There is no good excuse for anyone to be ignorant of these necessary laws. The Orleans- Chatham and Orleans - Harwich town lines in resurvey survey of the were Orleans-Chatham line between Strong Island and the outer Beach was found necessary this year. This line was also buoyed after survey. The assistance of the Chatham Shellfish Constable and the co- operation of the Chatham Selectmen during these operations is appreciated. The Rock Harbor shellfishing fleet, working for the most part on quahaugs during the summer and at other times on bay and sea scallops, had a good season, although prices have of not been revenue to this fleet from nthe shellfisher ess but the it is well known to all of us to be very large and a great boost to our local economy. May they continue to prosper in the years ahead. The revenue from all types of shellfish permits for the year 1953 exceeds $1,700 which is an increase of $1,150 over 19521 partly because of the number of scallop permits issued and also because of the increase in price paid for all per- mits. Although this money has to go into the town treasury and cannot be put aside for shellfish work as I had hoped, nevertheless it must in a way be credited as income from this department and forconsidered work credit on the account of the approp My sincere thanks to the Board of Selectmen, the Direc- tor of Marine Fisheries, Francis W. Sargent and his staff and to many others who by their help and guidance have assisted me throughout the year. Knowing full well that such assistance will continue, I shall if reappointed to this position, do my best to improve the shellfisheries so as to provide food and income for our people.
