Construction activity which would increase our Tax Valuations showed a marked slump as compared to the increase of the previous year (which had the largest increase in the history of the Town). The Pro- posed National Seashore Park occupied a great deal of our thoughts and time. A new statement was filed with the House Committee on behalf of the Town, many meetings were held with representatives from the Lower Cape Towns, Congressman Keith, and representatives of Senators Ken- nedy and Saltonstall. A substantial section of our drainage program was accomplished from Depot Square to Cedar Pond. Committees were created, after public meetings were held, to bring in recommendations for regulations concerning the use of Nauset Beach as well as the various waterways of the Town. It is our hope that such regulations will insure the benefits and enjoyments of these most important natural resources for all who wish to use there. Much informal dis- cussion has been held as to what major projects we might expect in the next few years. . All of this broad view further reminds us of the need for careful planning, to further determine the best uses for our land areas, anticipation of growth, preservation of nat- ural attractions and financial planning for the future. Our Townspeople want and deserve the best services we can provide as we can sensibly afford them. Some of the things we must constantly have in mind for the future are: water system, drainage and road projects, expansion of beach and boating facilities, additional park- ing facilities in the center of Town, improvements to our shellfisheries. These are but a few of the things that are on the not too distant horizon. 10 Our yearly gain in net taxable valuation, although sub- stantial, falls sllort of oll-setting overall increases !in ap- propriations and the inevitable result of this is an increase in the tax rate. In short, the growth in the size of total appropriation must come from taxes. The more we spend the more we must pay in taxes. RICHARD H. ADAMS FRANKLIN S. MURRAY ARTHUR R.

Given under our hands this second day of February in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixty-one. RICHARD H. ADAMS FRANKLIN S. MURRAY ARTHUR R. FINLAY Selectmen of Orleans A true copy. Attest: 24 Report of the Assessors To the Orleans Taxpayers: For the year 1960 the Board of Assessors added to the total Real Estate and Personal Property valuation base $949,505.00 resulting in an increased tax revenue of $37,980.00. This increased revenue had the effect of offsetting the equiv- alent of approximately $2.75 per thousand on the tax rate, which, lacking this increased revenue would necessarily have been added to the rate for 1960. This goes to prove the im- portance of the yearly gain in new valuation. From all indications the gain for 1961 will fall sub- stantially below the gain for 1960, as 1960 was an unusual year due to a great deal of commercial construction. We are increasingly aware of the changing land value situation in Orleans and when it takes shape to the point where it establishes a solid pattern, sufficient to recommend an overall change in our tax values on land, we plan to ask the taxpayers to approve the appropriation of funds to have this review carried out by outside professional ap- praisers, as was done in 1954—this to be done in-collaboration with the Board of Assessors and a local land committee. The results of such a revaluation will correct the in- equities which are bound to occur as the years pass, due to changing values. There will be cases where values are down and in others values will be up, and as the basic purpose of our system of .assessing relative values, that is, one prop- erty against another, is to be sure as far as humanly pos- sible that each taxpayer is paying only his just proportion of the tax load, it is essential that we use every means to maintain this equitable situation. We, as a Board of Assessors are proud of the standing Orleans holds in the eyes of the State Tax authorities, as we were one of the pioneers in Massachusetts in setting up a scientific system of equitable tax valuations and we strong- ly feel we should maintain our efforts in this direction. If you have any questions regarding our valuation .pro- cedures please do not hesitate to come to the Board of 25 Assessors for the answers. In this way you will learn the facts and we hope, an understanding of our conscientious efforts to treat all taxpayers with absolute fairness. The following comparative tables will give you some of the detail by which we arrive at the tax rate. 1959 1960 Total appropriation to be raised by taxation $626,418.09 $676,957.76 Total appropriation from available funds 50,675.29 65,353.97 $677,093.38 $742,311.73 Court Judgments $728.50 $11;000.00 State Parks and Reservations 1,866.43 1,486.35 Mosquito Control 6,092.00 6,419.10 State Audit 1,191.17 38.93 County Tax 50,763.81 51,324.80 County Retirement 4,541.15 5,446.72 Overlay 10,510.41 7,600.40 Town Group Insurance 3,800.00 Grass Amount to be raised $753,386.85 $829,428.03 1959 1960 Total Estimated Receipts & Available Funds 276,825.87 $276,319.63 Net amount to be raised by Tax- ation on Polls & Property 476,560.98 553,108.40 Assessed Value Real Estate $11,424,985.00 $12,184,115.00 Assessed Value Personal Estate 1,413,220.00 1,603,595.00 Total Assessed Valuation $12,838,205.00 $13,787,710.00 1959 1960 School Tax 16.48 Per M 19.02 Per M All Other 20.52 20.98 Total Tax Rate 37.00 40.00 School Percentage 43.668% 47.55% All Other 56.332% 52.42% 26 ESTIMATED RECEIPTS 1959 1960 Over Estimate of Mosquito Control 20.39 State Parks 20.07 166.16 Over Estimate County Tax 32.42 3,169.91 Corporation Tax 16,195.47 24,048.19 Income Tax 42,458.60 45,007.60 Motor Vehicle & Trailer Excise 55,706.71 48,148.48 Licenses 9,394.00 8,800.31 Fines 770.40 120.00 Library 105.00 78.00 Health and Sanitation 98.6.00 1,021.05 General Government 2,396.34 2,300.22 Charities 6,747.39 5,574.89 Old Age Assistance 22,329.39 29,579.95 Interest on Taxes & Assessments 1,736.86 1,682.00 Old Age Meal Tax 1,353.27 1,647.64 Interest on Street Light Fund 85.00 Recreation 9,245.00 12,458.45 Veterans' Services 2,037.05 2,855.56 School Transportation 31,195.50 12,897.00 State Assistance on School Construction 3,991.73 3,991.00 Protection Persons & Property 1,500.00 2,000.00 Farm Animal Excise 29.71 26.25 Free Cash from Treasury 50,675.29 65,353.97 Schools 35,898.68 3,308.00 Total Deductions as Estimated Receipts & Available Funds $276,8125.87 $276,319.63 195q 1960 Number of Polls Assessed 770 800 Property Owners Assessed 1,804 1,976 Acres of Land Assessed 6,715 6,707 Number of Cars Assessed -Excise 1,574 1,732 Assessed Value of Car $852,660.00 $844,013.00 Amount of Tax on Carts $ 45,861.80 $ 54,439.95 Population 1955 Census 2,201 Population 1960 Census 2,342 Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR R.

ROGERS Treasurer 34 Report of the Board of Public Welfare To the Citizens of the Town.of Orleans: The year 1960 again brought many increases in hospital and nursing home expense for several Old Age Assistance recipients. The result of these unanticipated increases made a transfer of funds necessary in December. For-the coming year we are introduced to a new classific- ation, namely, Medical Assistance for the Aged. The eligi- bility requirements for this classification are quite broad, and we can expect a substantial increase, because many of our senior citizens not now on our rolls may be eligible for this specialized aid. Aid to Dependent Children seems to be stabilized, due in part to several of our recipients becoming self-supporting during a part of the year. General Relief remains about the same every year. We are fortunate that this is so, for it indicates to some extent the general industriousness and prosperity of our community. We occasionally hear discussion about our Public Welfare programs, and it is frequently based on a lack of information about this :program. We are always available to answer your questions (short of actual names ,of recipients) and would be happy at anytime to try to bring about a better understanding of this phase of your Town Government.

ADAMS, Chmn. ARTHUR R. FINLAY FRANKLIN S. MURRAY Board of Public Welfare 36 Report of the Planning Board The year 1960 showed evidence of the need of continued study in improving the Protective By-Laws of the Town. To this end the Planning Board has held several meetings with professional planning consultants. The impending creation of the proposed National Park, as well as our interest in keeping the town abreast of changing •conditions has pre- cipitated this action. The Planning Board during the year held 22 regular meet- ings and 5 special meetings. 5 public hearings on new sub- division applications were held and 5 plans were approved creating 39 lots. 30 plans were signed approval not required. On April 5th the Board organized for the year. Eldredge E. Sparrow was elected chairman and Albert M. Kaufman re-elected clerk. Milton M. Gray, Jr. and Albert M. Kaufman were authorized to sign plans requiring no Planning Board approval. The joint meeting of Cape Selectmen and Planning Boards was attended by all members. Members of the Plan- ning Board attended all the meetings of the Cape Cod Plan- ning Board Association. Planning Board members attended the State Legislative Hearing on the proposed Cape "Nuclear Park" that was held in Falmouth. As a result of this hearing the board went on record disapproving this venture due t^ a 1�. o the hazard's in- volved as outlined by competent scientists present. In October a Planning Board member attended the Annual meeting of the Massachusetts Federation of Planning Boards. The Planning Board 'approves of the action of the Selectmen and the Nauset Beach Advisory Commission in lirvi""n(T t.hP iiwCP•.0 �r% +the Bee each f.n tilt'`e u F p poses of improving sanitary conditions and to strengthen safety precautions. The Planning Board went on record as approving an article by the Park Commission to improve the Bath House and Administration Building facilities at Nauset Beach. The Planning Board is hopeful of your support on the article for appropriation for funds to initiate a planning study. 37 Cooperation from the Town officials and various boards has been most helpful. Suggestions or criticisms by the towns people are welcome and we look forward to attendance at Board meetings which are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the Town Office Building. Respectfully submitted, ALBERT M. KAUFMAN Clerk Report of the Tree Warden To the 'Voters of Orleans: The recent storms and hurricane caused some damage to the elms and other trees.Damaged elm trees were repaired, cabled and braced where needed thus saving them, dangerous limbs or trees were removed. Scars or rips from broken branches are being repaired. The hurricane of Sept. 1960 left a very heavy incrusta- tion of salt on the exposed side of the trees, causing the leaves to dry, turn brown land drop off. Some evergreens suffered. The salt spray injury is much too recent to permit reliable predictions as to the future. I 'believe that the trees will survive. Keeping trees and plants healthy means providing them with the most favorable 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 trees. Your Tree Warden applied three tons of fertilizer to some of the elms that showed signs of needing fertilizer. The small tree planting program is continuing. Thirty- five Kwanzan flowering cherry trees were planted, twenty Red leaf maples also were planted in places along the roadside, especially in places where elm trees were removed. We appreciate very much the cooperation shown by the various town departments in helping remove fallen trees and debris after the hurricane and other storms. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER Tree Warden 38 Deport of the Insect Pest Control To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: In 1960 twelve elm trees were confirmed cases of Dutch Elm Disease. Of these only one tree was town owned. The remaining were either on .private property or State highway. Proving that the town owned trees receive all the necessary care to fight off Dutch Elm Disease. The law states "that all diseased and infested elm wood shall be removed to the town dump and burnt." Meaning that it cannot be stored on the premises for fire wood. In answer to the most asked question, "Shall we lose our elms?" "Yes, if we lack interest in -the maintenance and have a defeated frame of mind, but not if we continue to give -them the care and attention. they warrant." Recent articles have been appearing in New York news- papers of a chemical, zinc chloride in the use of Dutch Elm Disease control, in trees I believe that were not proven cases of D.E.D. The -author reports the trees seem quite healthy. Most arborists and tree wardens follow closely, recommenda- tions issued by the U.S. Dept. Agriculture that are tested and proven to The reliable cures. Pruning, spraying, feeding, surgery, and tree removal are common practices utilized in tree work for combatting pests and for general maintenance. These practices properly car' ried out are an important aid in maintaining and prolonging the ornamental value of shade trees. Sprays are used to control insects and diseases, to control deficiencies and stimulate growth. The effectiveness of any spray depends upon obtaining -complete coverage of the treated part with the right material at the proper time. A complete spraying program with D.D.T. to eliminate elm bark beetle in April, next in May .a foliage spray for elm leaf beetle. Several other sprays were applied to the elms and other trees when needed. If we keep being persistent in spraying, these insects can be kept in check, this is a must in keeping our trees healthy. 39 There has been no noticeable increase in gypsy moth in 1960 but that is due to precautions taken to prevent any increase or outbreak. A program of trapping was continued and any area showing signs of infestation was sprayed. Orleans has no evidence of gypsy moth infestation. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER Insect Pest Superintendent Water Safety Instructors Report Water Safety Instructor's were Mrs. Paul P. Henson, Jr., and Miss Judith Starbard. . The program ran for eight weeks beginning on July 5, ending on August 26. There were 313 enrolled students. Approximately 100 in salt water and 200 in fresh water. There were 47 enrolled in the life saving classes, 34 com- pleted the course, passed, and were granted certificates. There were issued 28 ibeginners certificates, 24 inter- mediate certificates, 22 swimmers certificates and 5 ad- vanced swimmers certificates. In salt water classes there were 10 beginners certificates issued, 9 intermediate certificates and 12 swimmers certifi- cates. The swimming meet was held on August 20 and was well attended. This year two new inov.ations were tried, first a class of instruction for adults in which :three adults were enrolled. The other new plan was having the salt water classes scheduled at South Orleans at the same hour each day thus permitting a fixed schedule which was of great convenience to all concerned. Recommended for next year is a boat for the salt water classes, a float would be better still. Respectfully submitted, ANN M. HENSON 40 Report of the Waterways Improvement Committee To the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: Report of the Waterways Improvement Committee ap- pointed under Article 31 of the Annual Town Meeting, March 14, 1960. Mr. Elmer R. Darling, Mr. C. Francis Richardson, Mr. Kenneth Huber, Dr.Frederick Raddin,Mr. Paul P. Henson,Jr., Mr. Philip Martin and Mr. James S.L.Kidd were appointed by the Moderator as members of the Committee. The committee organized with Mr. Elmer Darling as Chairman and Mr. Paul P.Henson, Jr. as Secretary, the same organization as formerly. Meetings of the Committee have been held periodically with the public in attendance from time to time expressing their views upon the Committee's projects. The fiber glass can and nun channel buoys have con- tinued to be eminently satisfactory and with the addition of ten buoys given the Town by Dr. Paul H. Norair of South Orleans, the Town now has the finest privately provided buoyage system in the area. These buoys are plotted on the latest edition of Chart #270. Mr. John J. Grady provided the material and the Sea Scouts placed some eighteen channel markers in Arey's River which makes possible the use of the entire river at low tide by outboard and shoal draft boats. The dredging project was virtually completed before the summer season and the three foot channels leading into Quanset, Paw Wah's; Arey's and Lonnies Ponds have been most welcome and very much used by the tax-payers and visitors alike. These small ponds are all fine natural anchor- ages and :their consequent availability has greatly increased the use of our wonderful facilities of Pleasant Bay. Upon completion of the dredging project Mr. Elmer Darling, Committee Chairman, resigned. His great knowledge and guiding direction have been missed on the Committee and we wish to 'take this opportunity to publicly thank "Dar" for one more instance of his great and unselfish assistance to the Town. 41 The Committee expects that the boat launching ramp at the end of Portanimicut Road will be installed before the summer season, and wishes to hear from those interested as to whether or not it is worthwhile to rebuild and lengthen the bulkhead ,at Paw Wah's Creek so as to provide three feet of water at low tide at the foot of the .bulkhead. Family boating once again has increased in popularity (some 2% million persons more than in 1959 have used our waterways in 1960), ,and while motorboating as such showed only a slight increase, dollarwise, small sailboat sales were 40% ahead of 1959. The number of permanently moored (summertime) boats in Pleasant Bay area increased about 50% during the last year. If such a further increase occurs in 1961 very serious thought will have to be given to providing more anchorage areas, and shore to water access facilities within the Town. The pending survey of Town Cove and Pleasant Bay by the Army Engineers, though authorized by Congress last year, still needs funds to impliment the work. Congressman Keith assures us with reservation that this should be accomplished in fiscal 1962. Respectfully submitted, C. FRANCIS RICHARDSON KENNETH HUBER R. FREDERICK RADDIN PHILIP MARTIN JAMES S.

P.YLz ■ i+rv�waieci�n a 16 va caaa. a "A vvaaaaaatauavaa To the Citizens of Orleans: We herewith submit the Annual Report of the Park Commission for the year 1960. At Skaket Beach we are in hopes of enlarging the Beach area when a new groin is installed. Until such time it will not be advisable to do so as it would disturb the grassed in area and create .a washout. The added parking area at Nauset Beach proved to be a big factor in not having had to turn away any cars this year, as was done in previous years. The present Building at Nauset is inadequate due to the large number of people using same, as in the past few years this has been called to your attention. This year we feel that action should be taken. Attendance records are on the increase yearly: 289,375 persons, 138,720 cars and 29,365 using dressing rooms this year. This report based on a 20 hour basis. Our night Patrol is one of our big assets in keeping vandalism at a minimum, and assisting persons using this area at night. The number of persons attending Band Concerts is in- creasing yearly. Life Guard reports as follows: 71 persons brought in, 19 missing children returned to their families, and over 300 given First Aid. Report on monies turned in to the Town Treasurer is as follows: tickets and stickers $12,070.00,concessions$1,100.00, telephone commission $43.78, donation $5.00 for a total of $13,218.78 showing an increase of $714.39 over last year. All monies taken in by us is turned over to the Treasurer and not available to this Commission for use of any kind. The new Jeep purchased this year has been of great value to us in Beach Patrol and keeping areas cleaned. The areas maintained or under our supervision are as fol- lows: Salt Water Beaches, Nauset and Skaket, Fresh Water, Crystal and Pilgrim Lakes, other areas are as follows: Eldredge 43 Field, Little Field, Eldredge Small Park, South Orleans Park, Four Corner Lot, South Orleans Beach, Priscilla Landing, Library Grounds, Recreation Grounds, World War One and Two Memorial, Soldier's Monument, Memorial Lots, Center Cemetery and East Orleans Cemetery. We would like to change the swimming instruction from Crystal to Pilgrim Lake this year due to traffic conditions on Monument Road. At this time we would like to thank Mr. Fred Mayo for assistance he gave us in all areas, Mr. Howard Mayo for the fertilizer he donated for our areas, Mr. Edward Y. Neill for the donation of Flags used at the World War Memorial, the Dispatching Center for the prompt service given us when called upon to do so, and all other Town Officials for the fine cooperation rendered to us this past year. Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE L. VANASSE, Chmn. ALVIN H. WRIGHT, Clerk KENDALL R. HIGGINS Assessors' Report on Map of Town In 1960 Sheet.l4 in East Orleans and Sheet 25 in Tonset were revised, thus making 13 Assessors' sheets revised since 1956. With the anticipation of increased.future planning the necessity of a current set of Assessors' maps is becoming imperative; therefore we recommend an appropriation of $1,000 for the further revision of the older sheets. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR R. FINLAY, Ch'man FRANKLIN S. MURRAY RICHARD H. ADAMS Orleans Assessors 44 Report of the Highway Surveyor To the Citizens of the flown of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of the Highway Department for the year 1960. It gives me great pleasure to be writing this report in the new Highway Garage. Although it 'took some time for it to materialize, it was well worth waiting for. In comparing this ,building with others I am convinced the taxpayers' money was well invested. At this time I wish to thank all who helped make it possible and to express my appreciation. The Highway Department had its usual work of picking up sand and repairing shoulders, patching, putting in burns and aprons in drains, painting white lines and signs, mowing and cleaning up litter from the roadside. As a result of frequent mowing the litter has decreased considerably. Ruggles Road and Pine Needle Way were graded and paved. Part of Tonset Road was widened. The Parking lot at Rock Harbor and the corner near Marine Store was also paved. The parking lot at the rear of the First National Store was seal coated, also the following roads: Monument Road, Pond Road, Arey's Lane, Herring Brook Way, Rock Harbor Road, part of Bridge Road, Brick Hill Road, Champlain Road, Barley Neck Road, Cedar Land Road and part of West Road. I wish to thank all Town Departments for their fine help and cooperation during 1960. Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK G. MAYO Highway Surveyor 45 Report of the Director of Civil Defense To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Orleans.: This year, as in the past, there has been excellent co- operation between this and the other departments in Town. The other departments have shown during "Hurricane Don- na," our practice alert, "OPAL 1960," and in numerous snows and wind storms, that they have been well trained and are equipped and willing to do their utmost in time of disaster, whether natural or otherwise . Our citizens, however well they "take care of their own" could do beater. There is voluminous, free literature on hand at your Civil Defense office and in various public places in Town. Have you a supply of sealed water, two weeks' tinned food and a camp type stove? Our newly appointed Shelter Officer is more than happy to offer advice as to how to -cheaply, but effectively install a shelter cellar or to convert a portion of your basement into an excellent protective area. Your Civil Defense office, open on Monday afternoons, will be happy to give advice on equipping such an area against disaster. As this report is written, a "fall-out proof" entry way is being added to the Town Hall. This in addition to sand bags for the windows will make our already excellent shelter one of the best in the State, and one from which your town government could easily operate. This fine shelter also was used during "Donna" for food, warmth and comfort by many people from out of the State. To go further along with our program of shelter, the schools have been instructed and aided in an "immediate take cover" program. At this time, at least one school has had a drill in which the students took cover in prescribed places with great speed and cooperation and with a minimum of noise and confusion. If all •could realize the value of a shelter program as easily as our students, the whole town could rest easier, knowing that if "IT" comes, we're ready. 46 In closing my report for the year, I should like to thank all those who volunteered so much t.me �anA effort when we needed it most. Respectfully submitted, TRUMAN HENSON, Director Civil Defense, Town of Orleans Report of the Board of Health To the Citizens of Orleans: It is gratifying to your Board of Health to be able to report that for the second year in succession the number of cases of Communicable Diseases reported to this board has been well below average. Our Town and School nursing program seems to be filling the needs of the Community and Schools in a most satis- factory way. The improvement in the care -of the Town Dumping Area , is, we believe, -apparent to everyone who uses this area. It proves the wisdom of having made this move -to contract for this work. Your Board of Health is constantly striving to improve the health and sanitary conditions in general and welcome any suggestions that will benefit this department. Respectfully submitted, FRANKLIN S.

Town Nurses 49 Shellfish Constable's Deport To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of the Shellfish Department for the year 1960. Shellfish landed commercially in 1960 12,942 bu. Quahogs (Rock Harbor) $41,414.00 6,080 Abu. Mussels 6,080.0.0 68 bu. Clams 816.00 Direct revenue to the Town 43 Commercial permits (Dec. lst) $215.00 1,039 Family permits (Dec. 1st) 1,256.00 7 Shellfish grants 35.00 The Scallop season was very poor this year. It is hoped that the 1961 season will be better; however, any appreciable increase is not anticipated. The Clam situation in the Town is progressing excel- lently. It is anticipated that a new area at Asa's Landing will be opened this Spring, and should provide good claming for some time. Pochet flats, which have been open commercially for the past three years are still providing a goodly number of clams, also many of the bull-dozed areas throughout the town waters have legal sized clams as well as a good set of seed. The Quahog situation is progressing at a very satisfactory rate. Mainly due to the "Gold Mine" in the deep waters of Pleasant Ray. In 1959 it was -discovered that we had a ' quantity of thumbnail size quahog seed. In fact it is so thick that it is believed that it will not fully develop because of lack of food and crowded conditions, therefore in 1959 about 100 bushels were transplanted to the shallow waters of Meetinghouse Pond, and in one year these have grown to almost twice their size, without any appreciable loss caused by moving. During 1960, 328 bushels were transplanted with 70 bushel being planted in the Town Cove and 258 bushels being planted in the River. Two hundred and thirty-eight bushel were taken up by individuals •on a contract 'basis of $4.00 per bushel and 90 bushel were taken up by the shellfish constable. The total •cost borne by the town was $952.00. It is hoped that this program can be expanded so that within the next three years we will have a goodly number of legal- sized quahogs around all the shores of Orleans to provide 50 spawning stock, as well as filling the buckets of the family permit holders, which seems to increase yearly. Also, some areas where the few commercial fishermen could procure a days catch. The Oyster program has not been as successful as hoped. A few years ago the oysters were on the increase in the Pleasant Bay area. The last two years the conditions for spawning were not good, therefore, there is little seed about our shores and the seed that had grown to almost legal size had -an exceptionally high mortality in the freezes of 1958 and 1959. The Town has had over 200 bags of shells at the Vineyard for two years for the purpose of catching oyster spat. However, the State has been unsuccessful in this pro- ject, but are in hopes of catching a good sett this year. So it is hoped that these ,bags will be returned to Orleans this fall with a good catch. Party bushel of Oyster seed (about two inch length) were planted in an area of Pleasant Bay last Spring, and they seem to be coming along well. The Oyster seed that was planted in Lonnies River in 1958 was mostly lost due to dredging. Some of the commercial fishermen have located a market for mussels, which we seem to have plenty of. However, there is no program on this shellfish, -and we do not see any necessity for a program at this time. A shellfish display case is being assembled, and while it will not be complete -this year, it will be on display, and we feel that it will have an excellent educational value to both our Townsfolk and summer visitors. The control of our shellfish enemies is a big problem, in as much as the Town is blessed with miles of shorefront, and many 'acres of fiats and shallow waters. While your Constable picks up many horseshoe crabs, starfish, snails, conchs, drills and the egg cases, it would be appreciated if the fishermen would do the same. You may read articles from time to time that are published telling of new controls of -the enemies, but just .bear in mind that these are all in the experimental stages -and are being performed by scien- tists who know how to handle such poisons as lindane, tetra- chlorobenzene and many others. As Dr. V. L. Loosanoffs' report of November 1960 states, "Since we are still engaged in the development of various methods which will be offered to the industry, we are not at present recommending ap- plication or use of our findings on a broad, commercial scale. We maintain this point of view because, although we are sure of the efficiency of these methods, we realize that many secondary problems must be solved, and we are already 51 working on some of them. Among these is determination of the effects -of chemicals used on acquatic communities in general. Most important however, is to determine, beyond all doubt, whether the chemicals may accumulate in the bodies of mollusks and make them undesirable -or perhaps even dangerous as food." When any practical method of reducing our shellfish predators arise, it will be done in our town. In 1961, it is hoped that more propagation of the quahog seed may be accomplished, several new areas bull-dozed and some-of the unproductive areas roto-tilled. Cultivation appears to be one of the biggest boosts to propagation. In closing, I wish to thank all members of -the Advisory Board, the Massachusetts division of Marine fisheries, Board of Selectmen, citizens and visitors for their co-operation during the year. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR W. NICKERSON Shellfish Constable Report of the Conservation Commission At the Annual Town Meeting in March 1960 it was voted to create a Conservation Commission. This commission has met several times through the year to discuss methods of improving or better utilizing presently owned Town prop- erties. Through the cooperation of the Boy Scouts 3,000 trees are being planted on Town land in South Orleans. During this year a cataloging of salt marshes will be undertaken by the Commission and methods of acquisition or conservation easements will be developed. Regular meetings are held on the first Friday of every month at the Town Office Building. We would welcome any- one interested in conservation who might care to attend our meetings. Respectfully submitted, WILLIS S. GOULD, JR., Chmn. RICHARD H. ADAMS, Clerk MILTON M. GRAY, JR. EMILE A. OLLIVIER EDWARD J. SMITH 52 Report of the Snow Library To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: The Snow Library has had a busy year. Many new books were purchased but slightly fewer books were circulated than last year. As Librarian compar- ing with others, our conclusion was that people really read a new book. When they take out older books, say three, only one is perhaps read. A boost for circulation, yes, but as you all know mere figures do not always tell the true story. Books in the Library 14,138 Books purchased—Adult 189 Juvenile 74 263 Books presented—Adult 156 Juvenile 28 184 Circulation of Books 20,407 Divided as follows: Adult Fiction 9,046 Adult non-fiction 3,717 Borrowed Library Division 8 12,771 Juvenile Fiction 4,975 Juvenile non-fiction 837 5,812 Magazines 1,824 Our figures for Juvenile reading during summer shows a high total,and I would like to remind parents of Elementary and High School pupils that in this highly competitive •adult world that rapid facile reading is a great necessity. Every advantage that we can give our children should be utilized to the fullest. Snow Library has loaned books to both the Public Ele- mentary School and the Parochial School. There have been 13,591 visits made to the Library as a total. 53 Story hours totaled 866 Regular visitors 12,725 Persons reading or studying were 669 The story hour for children under eight years has been held by Miss Dorothea Abbott on Saturdays from three to four p.m. This is the third year of this service. Magazines are a lively item in circulation. The Library subscribes to 23, National Business is presented by Mr.William C. Snow and American Builders is given by Nickerson Lumber Company. One of our most popular gifts is from the Wilkes family who bring us Illustrated London News (English). Another is Scottish Life given by Miss Josephine Dockray. Coming Events in Britain is sent direct from England due to the kindness of the late Mrs. Louis A. Gilette. These magazines are all colorful, with beautiful photog- raphy that opens a field of interest to photography fans. Twice this year we have had a stamp display. Our building is used for organization meetings. The P.T.A. book fair was again held here this December and in July the Orleans Historical Society held an Antiques Show. During the summer Miss Betsey Brooks and Miss Osee Brady of Assonet, Mass. shelved books as they piled high during rush hours. Our Library is open longer than standard minimum requirements and is listed as Number Seven for hours open on Cape Cod. Several residents who had not visited or seen the in- terior of the Library came in during this year and admired it's setting and open atmosphere. If you have not seen or used the Library, come in; look around, browse for books or sit and rest. We have records that you may listen to. We feel sure you will enjoy and be proud of your Town Library. Respectfully submitted, RUTH L. BARNARD Librarian 54 Report of the Recreation Commission To the Citizens of Orleans: The Recreation Commission requests you to offer sug- gestions, etc. on what you would like included in recreation programs which meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. Programs needing larger expenditures should be pre- sented November or early December to enable investigation, etc. before budget dead line. We have discovered the "Center" is very popular and many of the young adults like to be there but only if there is no supervision. This is impossible as damage to cues, pool table, walls etc. occur. When supervision (paid) has been provided the interest and .attendance has dropped. We felt so much expense for so few was not justified. As a rule school night projects have been disapproved for obvious reasons. Because of the "togetherness" of the neighboring towns it is hoped to set up Nauset Recreation Council, an organi- zation of the Commissions of these towns to coordinate activi- ties, avoid duplications and reduce expense. Our basketball program this winter is more coordinated because of this. There are about 150 boys and girls in the two programs of basketball. Mr. John Donahue needs assistance. The 10 week summer program -covering various sports under I4?r. Donahue was very popular. Little Leagae had a busy schedule=too busy :according to some parents who had boys on different teams at different times. An effort will be made to reduce schedule during school term. The Babe Ruth program really got going this year. More equipment is planned for Eldredge Field to increase the possibilities for greater participation. Water safety classes, with Ann Henson and Judith Starbard as instructors, were as full as ever meeting at Crystal Lake and Pleasant Bay. It is hoped to have Pilgrim Lake area ready this year, thus relieving the worried members of our various Town Departments. More volunteers will be needed to help with registration. 55 A small class for mothers and grandmothers learned techniques of how to teach children to handle themselves in water with Mr. John Tullis, Safety Director, C.C. Chapter ARC. The women were most enthusiastic. More classes are planned for next summer. A small craft program is .planned for next summer, pro- viding expenditures are approved. This would provide water program for those who have taken -all the swimming courses available for their age group; and teach the "know how" of bouts to those ineligible to Yacht Club courses. We thank all for cooperation in our various programs, especially the various town departments and school prin- cipals and personnel. May we ask all parents to PLEASE pick up children promptly at conclusion of classes; most personnel have such tight schedules they shouldn't have to wait,causing tardiness with .another class at another area. Also let us repeat—all requests for use of any area for meetings,classes, etc. should be written to Orleans Recreation Commissions, Box 395, starting date, time and room desired to avoid conflict in scheduling. With personnel able to give more time, it is hoped the Center will be more attractive to the different groups. The kitchen floor has been tiled and walls will soon be painted, making it possible for small groups to have refresh- ments or luncheons. Please let us know what you want as we were elected to carry out your wishes within the limits set up by General Court. Respectfully submitted, LUCY K. HOPKINS, Ex. Sec. MONCRIEFF M. COCHRAN JOHN D. W. JOY CHARLES O. THOMPSON ELIZABETH B. ARGO Recreation Commission 56 Report of the Registrars of Voters To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Orleans: During the year ending December 31, 1960 the Registrars conducted their usual business connected with filing and correcting records but were busier than usual, due to the Presidential Primary and the State Election. Sessions for registering voters were held February 13 and 23, preceding the Town meeting and election; March 25, for the Presidential Primary; August 3 and 12, before the State Primary and September 28 and October 7, preceding the State Election. Other sessions were held, to certify names on nomination. papers: February 10, for the Town Election; March 1, for the Presidential Primary and July 20, for the State Primary. Also, in February and in March, to certify absentee ballot applications for the Town Election and in October and Nov- ember, to certify such applications prior to the State Election. The greatest task was the annual listing of all persons twenty years of age or older who claimed their legal residence January 1 in Orleans. So many persons were away from their homes during January, February and March that many re- visits were necessary. Such absence made it necessary to write 160 letters, containing 215 forms, which requested necessary information. Most of the replies bore Florida post-marks but others came from Maine to California and many states in between. Final tabulation by the Registrars listed 815 men and 966 women for a total of 1,781 legal residents. About 55 letters and notices—about new or former residents of Orleans —also were sent to officials of other towns. Again the Registrars would like to call attention to the savings in time and money which could be made if persons, planning to be out of town during January and February, would notify the Registrars of Voters before leaving town or after arrival at their winter vacation spots. Also it would help the Registrars if new residents would give notice in writing when taking Orleans as their legal residence. 57 Listing for the Board of Assessors, the Registrars found a total of 376 dogs. These included 199 male dogs, 52 female dogs, 125 spayed female dogs and three kennel licenses. The Board of Assessors and the Chief of Police were furnished lists of the dogs and their owners, prepared by the Registrars. During 1960, there were 110 men and 136 women reg- istered as voters. Because of marriage, 7 women were removed from the voting list. Three of these re-registered under their new married names. Death took 13 men and 14 women voters and 27 men and 39 women took their residences elsewhere. Total registration,as of December 31, 1960, was as follows* Republicans Democrats Undeclared Total Men 412 23 300 735 Women 533 23 326 882 945 46 626 1,617 The Registrars wish to thank the Town Clerk especially for his fine year-round assistance with registration and other clerical work, and all other Town officials whose cooperation with the Registrars' work is instrumental in helping Orleans to operate efficiently.

Also that stores having scales in use should see to it, at least twice a day, that the indicating hand, or weight point, should balance, provided the scoops or pans are kept clean and clear from foreign matter. Any person, storekeeper or peddler having in their pos- sesion any kind of weighing device or measuring device for the purpose of weighing or measuring any commodity in the act of buying or selling, must have same inspected and tested and sealed by the authorized Sealer of Weights and Measures in his:territory,at the beginning of the current year and before using same. I wish to thank everyone for the good attention and cooperation which was received during the year. I feel this is due in part to the influence of Charles F.

Police Department To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: I hereby•submit my report for the Police Department for the year ending December 31, 1960.

I am referring to the members of your Regular, Special and Auxilli.ary police force. Thirty men, working together, whether it is the first winds of a hurricane or -the filling of details for the annual Family Record Hop Festival, one can be assured of many willing hands from this group, to work many hours, usually free, to effect .a very satisfactory solu- tion to whatever problem that might confront them. During the past year, all these men, at one time or another, have been active in police work. They were there to courteously and efficiently handle the crowds and traffic problems during the several parades and celebrations, especi- ally during the summer.They were there at the bad accidents both day and late at night. It doesn't matter which emergency I might mention, whether it was a hurricane, snowstorm or fire, we could feel confident that before too many minutes had elapsed, the Special and Auxillary Police would arrive and assist in any way they might be needed. ` These are unusual men. Some are comparatively new at police work but some have as many as eleven years of faith- ful duty ,to the town. However, whether they are "rookies" or "veterans" in the department, they work as a team and I would be proud and not in the least bit apprehensive in assigning them to any detail of police work in this or any other town of the Commonwealth. No report of Police Department activities during the past year would be complete without mentioning the ex- cellent work •done by Sergeant John C. Urbanski, which pro- duced the first real "C'anine Police Officer" in this part of the country. The Sergeant, working on his own time, with the fine cooperation ,of the Sentinel Dog Section at Otis Air Force Base, produced "Schotzie," a German Shepard dog, fully trained in complete obedience, expert at attack, and training hard at a most difficult phase of dog training called, "track- ing." (The ability to follow the movements of a subject, once given his scent, across any terrain and finding him.) There are many questions, pro and con, regarding the subject of dogs in police work, too numerous to answer here, but Sergeant Urbanski and I are going around, with Schotzie, to interested groups in an effort to answer as many of 62 these questions as possible. Please do not hesitate contacting either Sergeant Urbanski or myself for the answer to any question you might have. On behalf of the Police Department, I want to thank the Board of Selectmen, all department heads, and each and every citizen of the town, for the excellent cooperation extended to the Police Department during the past year. Respectfully submitted, CHESTER A. LANDERS Chief of Police Report of the Veterans' Agent for 1960 Veterans aid for the Town of Orleans during 1960 has shown an increase over 1959.Additional cases have been added and it appears that these cases could be more or less perma- nent. Usually the heavy case load comes on during the winter months but this year it has been quite constant due to some disability cases whose outcome is very indefinite. There is no indication at present of other cases in the near future. I trust that all the veterans I have aided feel that I have done my best in their behalf and that they realize I am gov- erned in my actions by the Department of Veterans Services, their rules and regulations by which an agent must work. There still is much confusion among veterans as to eligi- bility for aid. Veterans aid briefly is granted to veterans and or his dependents if a need or hardship is shown that was not brought on by neglect or mis-demeanor of their own. Each case is thoroughly investigated before aid is given and the budgets do not include any luxuries. For aid or information please call Brewster TW 6-3290 or TW 6-3342. I wish to thank the Orleans Town Officials for their co- operation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, LAWRENCE A.

This past year our department in conjunction with Eastham and Harwich has combined our training drills. This inter-town training means mutual aid. During the last few years a sharp reduction in fires has been realized. Fire prevention has been intensely practiced as well as inspections.These safety measures will be continued and expanded. This Spring we expect delivery of a new county brush- breaker :to be stationed at Orleans. It will replace the 1948 county truck we now have. This new six wheel drive truck with 800 gallons of water will be a .tremendous asset to our town and greatly needed due to our limited supply of water. It will benefit all neighboring towns as well and will be available for their immediate use. The Board of Fire Engineers recommends the Citizens of Orleans again give thought to a water system for our town. All business areas such as the Center of Town are drastically in need of water for fire protection. Many other densely popu- lated areas are also in -need of this water. At this time we wish to thank all the members of the Department for their loyal esteem during the past year. We also thank the Board of Selectmen, Residents, and all Departments in the town for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, Board of Fire Engineers LAWRENCE L.

This was occasioned by the slow but steady building of the replacement fund since the purchase of the last ambulance in 1954. During the year, the ambulance travelled approximately 17,746 miles. Both the number of .trips and mileage show an increase in each successive year, which is a reflection of the growth the three towns are experiencing. The ambulance is available for emergency use at the call of a doctor or the police at any time. There is no charge for this service, other than oxygen, but the Association is glad to receive donations to laid in meeting its expenses. The active interest shown in the operation of this service by the community is very gratifying to the Association's members who are constantly seeking more efficient methods in the overall operation of the ambulance.

A survey of the immunization status of children in the schools indicates that a very high proportion of them have received the recommended number of doses of vaccine. We also have found that children entering school in the kindergarten and first grades this year, had for the most part received the necessary immunizations prior to entering school. No cases of poliomyelitis were reported during the year. There has been no great change in the routine work of the Department during the year. The staff has been increased by the addition of another sanitary inspector. The position has been filled by the appointment of Mr. Richard Sturtevant of South Wellfleet. After serving as sanitary inspector for a period of thirty- four years, Mr. George Crocker will retire on January 1, 1961. Staff of the Department as of December 31, 1960: Fred L.

County Health Officer Agent Board of Health Town of Orleans 69 Report of the Harbor Master To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the citizens of the Town of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of the Harbormaster for the year 1960. As in previous years, all the channel buoys, docks, and floats have been taken up and will be replaced in their proper positions in the Spring. The dock at the Town Cove suffered some damage in the Fall hurricane. We wish to thank the gunners for taking heed to last year's report, as there was no damage to the buoys from hunters this year. New floats were placed at the River Road Landing and proved to be satisfactory. With the increasing interest in boating, our Town Land- ings are being studied so that future improvements may be made in the locations most popular. For a start on this project, some of -the Town Landings and recommendations are included in this report. Barley Neck Located at the turn-around at the end of Barley Neck Road. There is no beach, no water at low tide and a con- siderable amount of mud. This landing is very little used during the vacation season. It is used by a few gunners in the fall. Meetinghouse Pond Located off Barley Neck Road. Fairly good beach, good water at low tide, a parking area for about ten cars. Used quite a bit for swimming and boating. River Road Located at the end of River Road. This landing has a boat ramp and dock and is the most widely used of all Town Landings. During the summer season, approximately three boats daily are launched,and over week-ends fifteen daily.It is also used for swimming and fishing. The parking area is 70 quite crowded. Looking to the future, the Town should seri- ously consider acquiring additional land (a marshy area) to the East. This area could be used either for parking or simply dredged for additional moorings very badly needed here. Lonnie's Pond Located off Monument Road, this landing is used con- siderably for small boats. There is very little swimming but there is water at low tide.The parking area is extremely small. It is recommended that the landing should be enlarged to the width of the land presently owned by the Town. This would take advantage of the channel dredged into this Pond by the Town last year. Portanimicut Road Located at the end of the road of this name, this land- ing is used quite a lot by small boats. Parking is poor. It is recommended that the Town should consider ex- pansion to the right of the road (South) along the dredged channel. A very nice beach could be made in this way on Little Pleasant Bay. Quanset Pond This landing is very little used except during the scallop- ing season. There is no beach, parking is poor, and there is a little swimming here at high tide. Pleasant Ray Located on Route 28. Very good swimming at this landing at any tide. Nice sandy beach. Not much boating. It is the best of the Town Landings for swimming on the Pleasant Bay side of the town. Parking is extremely poor and the entrance on Route 28 dangerous. If -the Town could acquire parking here it would be very desirable. Arey's Pond This landing is used very little. There is not much park- ing area. It is recommended that the Town ,acquire more land here and also consider the construction of a boat-launching ramp to supplement and/or relieve the River Road ramp. Namequoit Road This landing is not used at all. There is no parking other than along the road. There is nothing here but a slough hole. If this marsh should be either dug out or filled in, it would be a good landing for the use of small boats. 71 Town Cove This landing is located behind the Goose Hummock Shop. It is only about 120 feet wide, and in poor oondition- a mess of small rocks. It is not at present used; however, it is a central location, and it is recommended that the Town take :advantage of it. A landing ramp here would be good in that the slope of the shore would enable boats to be launched at any tide. Yacht Club Road A Town.ramp and Town dock are located here. The dock is a good one. The ramp is practically useless since there is no slope and it is difficult to get boats off trailers except at high water. This landing is used is lot for swimming and boating. Asa's Landing Located on the Town Cove off Gibson Road. This landing is used quite a lot for swimming at high water, and for shellfishing. Snow Shore Road This landing on the Town Cove is used by fishermen and lobstermen. There is some swimming at high water. Champlain Road This landing located between the Mill Pond and Roberts Cove. It is used quite a lot by fishermen and small boats. There is water at low tide. Good parking. Doane Way Located on the Mill Pond at-the East end. This landing is used quite a lot by the general public. Can be used at low water. Rock Harbor Bout landing, ramp, and commercial fishing dock. Public toilet, phone booth. This area is one of the Town's big at- tractions. The landing ramp, unfortunately, is located in the wrong place and gets heavily sanded in. It should be located where the gas pumps used to be. This location would facilitate and increase the small boating out of Rock Harbor. Skaket and Nauset Beaches These are swimming facilities which do not fall within the scope of'Town Landings, as such. As for a general recommendation that should be carried out, immediately, and has the advantage of requiring very 72 little expense, the Town Landings should be properly marked. Several of them have no signs at all and none of them show the extent of the Town-owned band. There should be signs on the main roads, and, of course at the Landings themselves. There are'a few other Town Landings not in this report that will be of benefit to the Town in the future. In closing I wish to thank Linnell E. Studley for his help a-s assistant Harbormaster, the Police Department, the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Orleans for their cooperation throughout the year. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR W. NICKERSON Harbor Master Deport of the Board of Appeals To the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: The Board of Appeals is not an enforcing or regulating agency for any by-law. It is organized primarily to give relief from the provisions of the zoning and building code by-laws where a citizen may feel that they or either of them work a hardship. A •citizen may feel that the application of these b3k-laws may constitute a hardship for him in a particular case. If he can prove hardship and the board feels that granting him relief would not unduly derogate from the intent of the by-law or have a detrimental effect upon -the neighborhood, they may grant him relief and should. The Board of Appeals held a total of 12 public hearings in 1960. Nine of these were held for permits under the terms of the Orleans Protective By-Law with 7 granted and 2 denied. Three hearings were held on appeals from the terms of the Building Code with the three being granted. Respectfully submitted, REUBEN S. HOPKINS, Chmn. CECIL R. MAYO, Clerk CHARLES O. FREEMAN CORNELIUS SPILLANE RICHARD R. STEVENSON RICHARD C.NICKERSON, Assoc. CLIFFORD E. SOULE, Assoc. 73 Report ®f the 'Town Counsel To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Orleans, Massachusetts: I hereby submit my report of my activities as Town Coun- sel for the year 1960. There is still pending one land damage case against the 'Town as regards the acquisition by the Town of Nauset Beach, one having been settled during the course of the year. The equity suit regarding erosion at Skaket Beach is still pending awaiting Commonwealth action on protective groins. The completion of the Town's title to the North end of Nauset Beach will be accomplished by Town Meeting time. I have been consulted by and have advised the Recrea- tion Commission, Committee on the Motor Boat By-Laws and Committee on Rules and Regulations for the use of Nauset Beach, as well as the Police Department, Fire Depart- ment, School Department, Board of Health, Assessors, Public Welfare, Regional School Building Committee,Regional School Committee, Treasurer, Town Clerk, Town Accountant, Shell- fish Warden, Building Inspector, Planning Board, Board of Appeals, and numerous citizens and residents of the Town in respect to matters relating to the Town of Orleans, and I have worked very closely with the Planning Board on the proposed amendments to the Protective By-Law and Building Code. I have appeared in the Superior Court eight times, Second District Court once, and attended hearings held by the Commonwealth and Senate and House in connection with the National Park. Highway drainage easements have continued to be of great importance to the Town during the year, and un- doubtedly the technicalities of the National Park acquisition will be of paramount importance to the Town from a legal point of view as well as a practical point of view. The legal highlight of the year has been the successful result to the Town of the litigation concerning the addition to the Elementary School. A writ of Certiorari was sought by the 74 Charles H. Cunningham Construction Company, Inc., seeking to review the .action of the School Building Committee in Cunningham Company.,. t t determining that the 'v liaui vviaiNauy waS not the lowest responsible bidder on the project. The case was re- ferred to an auditor who found that the Committee acted in good faith and in the best interest of the Town in awarding the contract to the Westcot't Company. This finding was upheld and an order embodying the auditor's ruling was entered by the Superior Court. The Cunningham Company appealed this decision to the Supreme Judicial Court, but was convinced to drop the appeal,thus ending the matter. Respectfully submitted, PAUL P.HENSON, JR. Town Counsel Report of the Building Inspector To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Orleans: The total value of building permits issued in the Town of Orleans in 1960 was $789,544.00 as against $926,470.00 in 1959, a decrease of$136,926.00 or about 15%. One hundred thirty six permits were issued for all types of buildings. Eight hundred ninty eight dollars has been collected in fees and paid to the Town Treasurer.

The latter Committee is composed (by vote of .a Special Town Meeting, December 10, 1959) of the School Committee and the Board of Selectmen. The business of both Committees has necessarily overlapped. During the past year we have had two workshops for the elementary school teachers of Union #54. In April, Dr. B. Alice Crossley, Professor of the Language Arts at Boston University, conducted a stimulating three day seminar on written English. It was received enthusiastically and proved its value to the staff when put into classroom use. In Sept- ember Dr. Virginia Biggy, Director of Tufts University Ed- ucational Clinic and three associates gave a seminar on Reading. During the summer Mrs. Phyllis Baker, librarian of Nauset Regional High School, catalogued our library books. We are adding some hundreds of books to the school library each year-and there will be additional shelving early in 1960. Since September the teachers have been taking their classes to the library, one period a week, and guiding the children in the choice of books. The Science Research Associates Achievement Tests were given to the children in grades two through six of the Orleans School this year. These tests are .a more difficult and com- prehensive measure of achievement than those we have used on the past. In Sel—en-1 for.}omhor the.Orleans Elementary School opened with double sections of grades one through three. Grades four through six have one section each. The kindergarten 'has a morning and afternoon session serving forty-three Orleans children. Mrs. Muriel Spang Shutter was hired to teach one of the third grade sections. We regret that Mrs. Shutter has been ill for several months. 165 At the Annual Town Meeting,March 14, 1960, the Town of Orleans voted to purchase a new school bus. The new bus was delivered in time for the opening of school in September and is proving very satisfactory. Sealed bids for the construction of an addition to the Orleans Elementary School were opened on March 11, 1960. They were well under the estimates. At the Annual Town Meeting, March 14, 1960, the Town voted to appropriate $170,000 for the construction, equipping and furnishing of an addition to the Orleans Elementary School. The contract for the building was awarded on March 25, 1960 to the Thomas Wescott Construction Company of North Attleboro, Massa- chusetts which, in our opinion, was the lowest responsi- ble bidder. Work was begun in April and progressed rapidly throughout the summer. The Cunningham Construction Company of Yarmouth, Massachusetts, the lowest bidder, brought legal action against the Orleans School Committee. The case was heard in Barn- stable Superior Court and the Committee's .action in the awarding of the contract to the Thomas Wescott Construc- tion Company was sustained. The new construction was near enough completion in September to make it possible for grades one through six to start on schedule. The opening of kindergarten was de- layed one week. The addition consists of three new regular classrooms (providing two rooms for each grade, one through six, in the total plant), a kindergarten, an all-purpose room, addi- tional office space, enlarged teachers' and nurses' rooms. storage, heating plant, driveway, parking area and play- ground. There are still a few details to be finished or rectified and work on the grounds cannot be completed until spring. The Orleans Elementary School should serve our children well for many years to come. Excepts for Mrs. Shutter's regrettable illness, the tea- chers enjoyed a uniformly good year, and their work in the classrooms was most satisfactory. Respectfully submitted, CHARITY M. KIDD, Chairman PHILIP E. MARTIN, Secretary FREDERICK P. ROGERS ORIN TOVROV EVERETT C. WINSLOW, Jr. 166 Report of the Superintendent of Schools To the School Committee and Citizens of Orleans: This year's report will concern itself primarily with that aspect of education that has the most direct, immediate and observable impact of all upon the community;—the cost. It seems appropriate to focus attention on cost in 1960 not only because school cost is at the crest of the wave of rising costs of all kinds, and not only because meeting the demands for improved educational services is costly, but also because 1960 is the middle of a three-year transitional period of fiscal adjustment to regional organization. Not that this move increased gross operational costs abruptly, because it didn't. The table below shows increases of $20,000. or more each year, 1956 through 1959, and less than $5,000. in 1960. COSTS OF SCHOOL OPERATION Gross Costs for Operation 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 Local $159,847.09 $181,288.47 $206,902.96 $181,070.18 $114,101.00 Region 51,216.09 122,947.00 232,286.27 237,048.00 Reimbursements 27,794.09 33,653.27 43,207.68 55,925.35 49,015.00 Tuition Receipts 31,067.97 35;969.74 39,720:98 36,652.36 3,276.00 Net Cost to Town 100,985.03 111,665.46 123,974.30 139,708.56 184,757.00 Valuation of Town 10,944,780 11,638,985 12,183,790 12,838,205 13,787,710 Tax for School Operation 9.23 9.60 10.18 10.88 13.40 Number of Pupils Oct. 1 375 409 413 418 438 1V et VVSt Per t _:, iAjJu 269.29 273.02 300.18 334.23 421.80 The three-year period to which I refer is one during which gross costs are increasing normally (less than State average of 12%), but net costs are increasing sharply, be- cause reimbursements and tuition income, which determine 167 the gap between gross and net costs, have decreased sharply. This condition is spread over 1959, 1960, and 1961, during which time gross school costs, including building and opera- tion, in Orleans, increased only about 10%, while offsets in the form of reimbursements and tuitions decreased about 38%, causing net costs to rise about 28% for the period. Fol- lowing this period there will be a levelling off and gradual recovery. The biggest factor in this picture is the tuition income which Orleans used to get from Eastham and Brewster. 1960 was the first full year that the regional school operated, and also the first year when substantial tuition did'not come in to Orleans. This made a difference of nearly $35,000. in revenue to the Town in 1960. It should be understood that this income, while profitable for Orleans, was not clear profit. Involved in the total were the costs of providing educational services for about 100 tuition pupils. The Regional District made a small credit against assessments to the Towns for 1961 on account of tuitions received by the District, and will be able to double the amount of this kind of credit the following year. From then on this revenue will vary with the incidence of tuition pupils, and serve to recover to Orleans a part of the loss from this type of income. The other significant item is state aid for school opera- tion, which is distributed to us by a formula based partly on the number of teachers employed. Under the present organi- zation Orleans may claim the proportion of Nauset teachers that there are Orleans pupils attending Nauset. Cur- rent•ly this is a smaller number than the total number of teachers at Orleans High School, and, consequently, the reimbursement is less than it was during the last year that Orleans High School operated. But the law provides that no town shall receive less of this kind of aid than it received in the year prior to signing a contract for regional school construction, and we have not received less than that figure. Gradually, we also shall reach again the figure reached in the peak year between the signing of the building contract and the cessation of Orleans High School operation. These factors plus the first payments on the borrowings for the Orleans Elementary School addition will be.responsi- ble fora rise of about$2.00 in the 1961 tax rate., assuming that the total valuation of the town increases by about $500,000. 168 ORLEANS PUBLIC SCHOOLS CO:VIPAR9 SOIV O COSTS r W iAa U CA`iION Gross Costs 1960 1961 Elementary School Budget 122,078. 130,858.

Impact for Schools $19.04/1,000 21.15/17000 Median for 166 towns under 5000 population in 1960 -$36.70 It is interesting to note that despite the conditions des- cribed above, the impact of schools on the Orleans tax rate is less than two-thirds, what it is for the average among the towns of our size classification in the state. Since the basis of valuation varies greatly among these towns it may be fairer to compare the percentage of local taxes expended for schools. In 1960 Orleans spent 48% of its ._ taxes for schools. The median for towns under the 5,000 pop- ulation mark was about 55%. Some other 1960 comparisons are interesting: ._..a Equ'aia�cu valuation %net debt Tax Rate School per child is of Val.

This condition enables the towns of Cape Cod and Martha's Vine- yard to provide schools for considerably less cost to the in- dividual taxpayer than in most of the towns of Massachusetts. For years Orleans, .among these towns, has provided a high level of support for schools, and I sincerely hope that there will develop no economic condition which will render this community less:able, and no sense of values which will render it less willing, to provide well in the future. Respectfully submitted, SYDNEY G.PIERCE Superintendent of Schools 170 Report of the Elementary Supervisor—Union No. 54 I hereby submit my fourth annual report as elementary supervisor of School Union #54.. In keeping with the plan to concentrate each year in one area of the curriculum with the purpose of upgrading the quality of instruction, emphasis was placed this past year on language arts. During the spring recess in April, Dr. B. Alice Crossley, Professor of Education at Boston University, conducted a three-day language arts workshop for the teachers of Union #54. Particular attention was focused on methods and tech- niques of instruction in functional and creative writing. Tea- chers participated in organizing a course of study in these areas from kindergarten to grade six. We feel that this ex- perience has contributed greatly to improve our total lan- guage arts program. Before, the opening of school in September, the teachers of Union #54 attended .a three-day workshop in reading in- struction conducted by Dr. M. Virginia Biggy, Director of Tufts University Educational Clinic. Three other consultants who are associated with Dr. Biggy at the Tufts Clinic assisted at the workshop. Demonstration classes in reading instruc- tion were presented and varied reading materials were dem- onstrated and evaluated. Opportunity for informal discus- sion concerning all areas of the language arts served to rein- force the April workshop. We are gradually adopting the Row, Peterson and Com- pany basal reading series and are taking advantage of their excellent consultant service. In November, Miss Joyce Pritch- ard visited the primary grade classrooms to demonstrate the most effective use of these materials. Mr. Cassidy, Row, Peter- son representative conducted another session a few weeks later with a filmstrip showing effective grouping methods in reading. The school library ^ "+iniiP.c to g_^flw and functions as an integral part of school life. It is gratifying to report the great amount of recreatory reading enjoyed by our boys and girls. Under Title III, Public Law 85-864, federal funds have been made available to match local expenditures for the strenghtening of instruction in science and mathematics. 171 During the past two years we have taken advantage of this opportunity to obtain additional classroom equipment and materials to enrich, broaden, and strengthen these areas of the curriculum. In February, a map and old globe survey of existing equip- ment throughout School Union #54 was conducted by Mr.. James Barrett, New England Representative of A. J. Nystrom and Company. An inventory was submitted with recommen- dations for transfer, 'replacement, and need for additional materials. This has been a useful guide for providing well- equipped classrooms for the social studies program. It has been our custom to administer standardized achievement tests in the spring and last May the Standford Achievement Tests were administered to all grades. This September we experimented with a fall testing program for the purpose of diagnosing individual and group needs at the outset of the school year. The Science Research Associates Achievement Series was administered to grades two through six the third week of school. This series has proven valuable to us. However, through trial and error we have learned that the spring is the better time for adminis- tering the test. Although grades five and six were machine- scored, the results returned too late to be of value to the teacher. The amount of clerical work involved in scoring the lower grade tests proved to be too much of a burden at the beginning, the busiest .time of the school year. It has been decided to administer this series -again in May. The results can then be carefully evaluated at the end of the school year. Then, before the school doors are opened in September, individual conferences will be held with each teacher to analyze individual and group needs. We feel this situation to be ideal in making the best use of test results. Periodic measures of mental abilities are administered. The present schedule places these tests 'in May in the kin- dergarten, and in grades three and six in October. This year mental abilities were administered to all grades for futher evaluation` We. are ever mindful of the tremendous responsibility with which we are entrusted in preparing our youth to live in a rapidly changing world. We shall continue to endeavor to provide the best possible environment for learning to take place. Respectfuly submitted, BARBARA N. WRIGHT 172 Report of the Principal of the Elementary School To the School Committee and the Citizens of Orleans: I submit my report as supervising principal of the Ele- mentary School. Hurricane "Donna" delayed the opening of school one day this year. September thirteenth finally came for grades one through six to assemble and begin, together with their teachers, plans for another year's education. Because of several hinderances the addition was not available until September 19 and 26. Kindergarten sessions were started on the former date with grades six and five moving to the new rooms on the latter date. Adjustment to the new rooms were easily made and proved well worth the waiting. Enrollment was completed by September thirtieth with a total of 229 pupils, 43 of whom were in the kindergarten. The completed building was open for inspection National Education Week on the evening of November 9th. The people of Orleans were rewarded according to their faith in accept- ing a responsibility for a modern structure in which _better teaching of and a wider concern for their children can take place. Since grade two was a double grade a new teacher was found to receive the second group in the third grade. Mrs. Muriel Shutter was added to our regular staff. Her previous teaching having been in Connecticut, she spent six weeks last summer in the Hyannis Summer Session studying Cur- riculum and Methods and Materials for the Elementary School. She has proven a valuable asset to our school and sets a fine example for the young to imitate. At this writing a stubborn problem has caused Mrs. Shutter too spend some t iiYie in the hospital. Her doctor is working with her and hopes to return her to us the first of the new year. In addition to the teaching load many of the faculty are participating in the "Great Books" course which is being offered and meeting bimonthly in the Elementary Build- 173 ing. Another project involving the entire taculty is a hand- book for parents in the subject areas. The friuts of this en- deavor should be in the parent's hands in late April or early May. The title "Do we Teach Phonics?" On the radio and T.V., as well as in the literature we read, we meet the challenges of modern education. What effect do these have on the thinking and decisions within the family, the school, and the community? Parents and tea- chers have a terrific responsibility and neither can carry on without the other. We need to do much thinking and choose what is best for our children now in order that they may grow to the fullest into the person.who can take his rightful place in a changing world. Living in this age is a challenge. It is with humble grati- tude I serve as an administrator in this field of education. Many thanks to all who contribute generous support in providing the best in education for the children of Orleans. Respectfully summitted, CORA M. MAYO Principal �I 174 Report of the School Physician It is a pleasure to state that perfect sets of teeth and near perfect ones increase in number every year. Only a very few are found that have carious teeth that have not been treated. Enlarged, infected tonsils are becoming rare. The number of notices sent home is very small when compared with thirty years ago. Sminal curvatures are occasionally found in both ele- mentary and high school grades. The number of new cases of flat feet is lessening each year. Most of the cases of several years duration are under treatment of the family physician or the clinic in Hyannis. Each male student is checked for a possible hernia, at the time of examination. Illnesses during the year were mainly colds and grippe, except for some sixty cases of chicken pox. For a run down of the different illnesses, please see report of the school nurses. Respectfully submitted, HENRY A.
