NANTUCKET, MASS. j_- I: In Memoriam Ray W.Toomey 1906-1976 Board of Registrars Though his tenure in office was short,Ray's competence and good nature were a substantial contribution to the smooth operation of the Town. One wonders how such dedicated men can be replaced. Joseph L.Rogers 1906-1975 Fireman - Fire Engineer - Building Inspector Joe was a kind man - considerate and polite to all the [ Townspeople who came to him with various problems. Born in Orleans, he served our Town during his entire life, giving a lot and asking little. He was a veteran of WW II. Richard Sparrow Snow 1896-1976 Moderator Mr. Snow served the townspeople with its legal problems during a period of relative calm and lack of complex legal situations. Our fondest memories center around the town meeting when Mr.Snow would display his true spirit of conservatism. Although his advice was seldom heeded,he would warn of the danger of giving up our individual rights by legislation,and there are many townspeople who wish that they had paid him better mind. Mr. Snow was a religious man who leaned heavily on tradition. He lived his life in accordance with his religious principals. He represented a fast dying breed. We shall sorely miss him. 3 i -- ------- In Memoriam Adelbert A.Childs 1896-1976 Registrar of Voters Mr.Childs suffered from ill health since his service in World War I. A life-long resident of Orleans,he contributed to the Town by faithfully performing his duties as Registrar of Voters and Town Enumerator. His assistance and guidance will be sorely missed. Belmont P.Mayo 1913-1976 Board of Fire Engineers Mr. Mayo served as Volunteer Firefighter and Engineer since World War II. His enthusiasm for work and seeking per- fection in the Department will seldom be equaled. We mourn his departure. 4 I� TOWN OFFICERS ELECTIVE OFFICERS Office,Board or Commission Term Expires Moderator Frank J.Richards 1977 Board of.Selectmen it�r Robert R.Peno,Jr. 1979 Gaston L.Norgeot 1977 Herbert F.Wilcox 1978 Orleans School Committee Omer R.Chartrand 1979 Alan L.Chace 1978 Janet R.LaTanzi 1978 Karen A.Donner 1979 Paula L.Cullum,Secretary 1977 Regional School Committee Omer R.Chartrand* 1979 Gail R.Rainey 1977 William W.Thomas 1978 *Elected by Orleans School Committee Collector and Treasurer Jean H.Deschamps 1978 Town Clerk Barbara F.Ilkovich 1978 **Also members of the Board of Assessors, Board of Health, Nauset Beach Commission and Park Commission. 5 Trustees for Snow Library Adeline N.Moore 1977 David W.Gessford 1977 Eileen DeLory 1978 Mary Daneth Scanlon 1978 Jane Te 11--- i9 7 9 Mary Creighton 1979 Constables George A.Bissonnette 1977 Thomas S.Stewart 1977 Surveyor of Highways Frederick G.Mayo 1979 Tree Warden - Paul P.011ivier 1978 Planning Board Marc G.Norgeot,Chairman 1977 Truman Henson 1977 Howard J.Franklin 1978 Kathleen R.Franklin res.1979 Robert L.Wilkinson 1979 Alfred R.Perreault 1979 Robert J.Walther 1981 Thomas S.Smith 1981 Robert B.Larrimore 1980 Edward F.Rohmer,Jr. 1980 Joanne Cole, Secy. 1980 Recreation Commission John S.Sully 1977 Robert S.Moss,res. 1977 Leo P.Miller 1978 Nancy A.Benz 1979 Linda M.Collins 1980 6 Water Commissioners C.Francis Richardson 1977 Roger F.Smith 1978 Raymond E.Newton 1979 Housing Authority Alberta DeRonge 1977 C.Henry Kruidenier(State appt) 1977 Donald B.Foresman,Chairman 1979 Leroy K.Behr 1980 Carl M.Withus 1981 Appointed Boards,Commissions, Committees&Personnel Finance Committee Alfred R.Turner,Chairman 1977 Charles H.Darling 1977 Edward G.Benz 1977 Daniel E.Hegarty 1978 Frank C.Ireland 1978 George P.Norgeot 1978 Charles E.Southworth,Jr. 1979 Marilyn B.McOuat 1979 Edith S.Libby 1979 Appeals Board Charles R.Koehler,Chairman 1977 William J.Cobb 1978 Robert S.Tibbits 1978 James E.DeWitt,Alt. 1978 Frederick V.Long,Alt. 1977 Hernaldo Kelley res.1976 Charles E.Southworth,Jr. res.1975 Ann Fettig,Clerk 1977 7 Personnel Board William B.Moore,Chairman 1976 Walter E.Morgan,Jr. 1978 Jane N.Walsh 1977 J.Malcolm Wright 1978 Walter C.Swanson Conservation Commission Dana W.Eldridge,Chairman 1979 Everett D.Kiefer,Jr.,Vice Chairman 1977 Donald G.Schall 1979 Leonard D.Maza 1977 Louise K.Donham 1978 Gardner E.Munsey 1978 Emile 011ivier 1978 Registrar of Voters George W.Doane 1977 Marilyn Kent Fulcher 1978 Barbara A.Gardner 1978 Ray W.

Cummings 19 Report of the Board of Selectmen We have acted on all Articles voted at the last Annual and Special Town Meetings. We have also appointed several com- mittees mandated by the State, and others requested by the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission. We are disturbed with the number of agencies the State is continually setting up. It is our feeling that not only are a lot of them overlapping, but more important is the fact, more and more, they are depriving us of Home Rule. We are, however, doing everything possible through our own Board,the Barnstable County Selectmen's Association and the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission to work together in order to have a strong unified voice at the State level. We feel in this way we may make Home Rule meaningful. The CETA program has been beneficial to Orleans. The work that has been done was not only a great financial saving to. the Town,but it also put a good many people to work who really needed and wanted jobs instead of going'on Unemployment or Welfare. It also gave-us a chance to train several people in jobs. where they are needed permanently, such as Police, Fire, and our Assistant Assessor. A list of projects completed by CETA personnel follows: CRYSTAL LAKE: Clean woods on Rte. 28 side for picnic area. DISPOSAL AREA:Build Dump Gate House,install fence around dump area, paint dumpsters,pick up papers in area, man Gate House. ELDREDGE FIELD: Build new dug-outs of concrete. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Rebuild and prepare Little League Field. FIRE & POLICE STAIIO : Repair jail cells, repair two (2) cesspools in driveway area, silicone building. 20 i LIBRARY: Repair gutters, paint inside rest rooms. i LITTLE LEAGUE FIELD: Re-sod area needed and level Diamond. NAUSET WORKSHOP: Paint interior of building, ceilings, etc. PILGRIM LAKE: Build six_ (6) new floats for swimming in- structions. TOWN OFFICE: Complete renovation inside, install insulation, build cabinets, shelves, and new Registrar of Voters Office. Janitor supplied by CETA. Remodel Assessor's Office, build counter. SHELLFISH DEPARTMENT: One man supplied to help with seeding of shellfish, and general patrol of areas. TREE DEPARTMENT: Two (2) men supplied to cut down diseased Elms in Town roads. NAUSET BEACH: Build new boardwalks,new life guard stand. ROCK HARBOR: Build and paint seating for public along Dock area. COUNCIL ON AGING: Build shelves and paint. CLEARING HERRING RUN We would especially like to commend Park Superintendent Square Gould, who supervised most of this work, and we cer- tainly want to commend all of the people who have,been in the CETA program in the Town of Orleans for their cooperation and willingness to do the work that they were assigned,and the fine manner in which this work was done. After many years of negotiations, we now have title to the Penn. Central Right of Way through Orleans. We .are now working with the Bike-Ways Committee, the"Traffic, Study Committee and the Department of Natural Resources to 21 determine the best use of this land in our community. This will take careful planning and time before arriving at specific con- clusions. Respectfully submitted, ' E s T s. `W ILCOX, Chairman ROBERT R. PENO, JR. GASTON L. NORGEOT 22 i i Report of the Board of Assessors The Board of Assessors has implemented some changes this year to increase the efficiency of this Department. A separate office has been set up adjacent to the Selectmen's office where .all assessing records are kept. The office is organized with Assistant Assessors Mary McDermott and Walter Brown conducting the day-to-day business. As of September 1,1976 the revaluation voted at the August, 1975 Town Meeting was 50 percent completed, which is on schedule. We have received our new computer and our goal is to have.a system which will be easily maintained and be able to reflect current valuation. The Town is in good financial condition. At the close of fiscal 1976,free cash was$263,649.02. Our bonded debt is$1,875,000.00 consisting solely of water bonds. The Tax Rate for this coming year is $19.40 - a 40 cent reduction from the previous year. We are grateful for the cooperation of the Collector- Treasurer's Office. Our work is, closely connected and cooperation is of vital importance to the Town. Respectfully submitted, GASTON L. NORGEOT, Chairman HERBERT F. WILCOX ROBERT R. PENO, JR. 23 Report of the Board of Health Last year,the Town Dump became the Town Disposal Area. We are operating a so-called"State Approved Sanitary Landfill" and are now complying with State rules and regulations, The change to collecting household refuse in containers has developed very smoothly. The cooperation of the contractors, commercial refuse companies and the home owners is greatly appreciated. Recycling of glass,thanks to the efforts of the Re- Cycling Committee, is a success. The Preliminary Study of Septic Sludge Disposal has been completed. The results-to continue to the eventual construction of a plant to handle septic sludge. The intricacies and"red tape" involved in becoming eligible for State and Federal funds has slowed our progress, but at this time we are on course and are moving forward. An Article in the Warrant was voted to raise $30,000.00 (75 percent to be reimbursed by Federal Funds) to prepare a Facility Plan. This project is an integral part of,and therefore compatible with,the Cape-wide study of the 208 Water Quality Management Program. If and when actual construction is completed,the Town's share would be 10 percent of the total expenditure, the State's 15 percent, and the Federal Govern- ment's 75 percent. The Board of Selectmen would like to thank all of the Departments for their cooperation with us,.and also for their joint efforts in working with the other Departments. We would also like to thank the great many people who have unselfishly given their time to serve on the many committees and the tremendous job they have done for the Town. Also, our thanks to the many citizens for their interest and suggestions on matters concerning the good of the Town. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT R. PENO, JR., Chairman !IERRFRT F.

This we have done in a manner that has been termed highly satisfactory,as indicated by the number of letters that we have received and also other responses. It is our aim to continue this service to the Towns of Orleans and Eastham. As you know the Association is a Non-Profit organization. We send out a form letter to everyone that has the use of the Ambulance and any Donations that we receive go into the Am- bulance Replacement Fund. Therefore it has not cost the Towns a cent to purchase an Ambulance since 1948. The only bill we send is for the use of Oxygen. Our Ambulance has been over 61,000 miles and is in the best condition and ready to respond twenty four hours a day when called upon. Listed below is a list of trips made during 1975. Town of Orleans 273 Town of Eastham 64 Others(Transits) 98 Making a Total of 435 Trips The reason that Eastham has so few trips is because they are using their Rescue Vehicle to transfer patients to the Hospital, although the Town of Eastham makes their appropriation for the use of the Ambulance. 29 Our Financial Statement is as follows: Funds on hand December 31,1974(Inc.Withholding Tax) $12,656.02 Received from Donations $7,912.00 Received from Oxygen 292.50 Earned Bank Interest 645.78 Tax Withholding 4,781.03 Received from Two Towns 25,980.00 Transferred to the Checking Account 2,000.00 $41,611.31 $54,267.33 Expenditures During the year were: Salaries and Wages $22,348.00 Withholding Tax 4,781.03 Insurance on Ambulance 1,517.00 Insurance on Building 165.00 Insurance on Help 109.00 Bond on Treasurer 60.00 Miscellaneous and Supplies 1,755.04 Phone 139.38 Lights 291.95 Fuel for Garage 461.77 Gas,Oil,Tires,Repairs 2,568.21 Water Bill 36.00 Returned to Replacement Fund 2,000.00 $36,232.38 $18,034.95 Total Funds on hand December 31, 1975: Replacement Fund $13,955.42 Operating Account 4,079.53 $18,034.95 We the directors, wish to thank those who have served the Association for their excellent service provided,both the Drivers and their Assistants,without whose help our services would not be possible. 30 During the past year the following men have given their time as Directors of the Association: Mr. Richard J.VanderMay,Sr., and Mr.Wilfred Trahan of Eastham.

Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR F STRweum Inspector of Buildings 34 Report of the Cape Cod Regional P P � Technical High School District Committee On January 1, 1975 fourteen people were industriously working in the Gilmore House to get the school ready for opening in September, 1975, for 900 pupils. It had been hoped that the school itself would be ready for partial occupancy early in 1975 but that was not to work out - the date of acceptance of the building turned out to be July 28, 1975. The delay in the ac- ceptance of the building did hamper the physical development of the program, including supplies and materials, and equipment installation, but it in no way dimmed the enthusiasm of the fourteen people working at the task of developing the educational program that was the real reason for the development of this vocational facility which was a dream back in 1969. One of the most important activities that took place during the Spring of 1975 was in the screening, interviewing and selec- tion of a staff that grew from fourteen in January to 155 in December of 1975 - this includes professional and non- . professional employees. Development of the vocational staff was accomplished by finding the best possible teacher for the work stations that make up the vocational areas of the school. In all vocational high schools fifty per cent of the student's time is spent in shop or laboratory and the remainder of the time is spent C in theory directly related to his occupational choice, and an academic program that will enable our students to receive a high school diploma. Those of you who have visited Cape Cod Tech know that our academic classroom area on the third floor is an open area which necessitates the creation of-an academic program that will work In that environment. The Committee chose to pursue dif- ferentiated staffing,which includes team leaders,staff teachers, and para-professionals. The most exciting activity during the Spring months of 1975 was the tremendous response we received from the students in 35 the sending schools after they had an opportunity to tour our building during the month of May. We wish to publicly thank J.L. Marshall&Sons,Inc.,the general contractor, for allowing these tours to take place, even though the construction was not fully completed. We also thank the students and the teachers who accompanied them for the assistance they gave in making these tows successful. The months of July and August were action-packed with the installation of equipment,the ordering of supplies and materials and moveable equipment, and the conducting of a staff development program for the vocational and the academic teachers. On August 26th an Open House was held for parents of students who had elected to attend Cape Cod Tech, which was well attended and seemed to be appreciated by all. September 3rd was the big day in the history of Cape Cod Tech for the 979 students who had signed up to go to the school for its first year. Unfortunately some of the students who signed up in the previous Spring decided not to come, and our student census of October 1st was 957 students. Due to the fact that we did have this large turnout of students the Committee had to add more staff members to operate the program, and fortunately, due to the expert investment of our construction monies by our District Treasurer, Dean T. Fleming, the earned interest was sufficient to fund the necessary positions. An Open House was held on October 19, 1975 and some 3,000 people toured the building. Senator Edward M.Kennedy was the keynote speaker for the formal dedication ceremony, and the keys to the building were turned over by Richard C. Rosane, of the architectural firm of Drummey Rosane Anderson; William Mangiante, the vice-president of J.L. Marshall &Sons, Inc.; to chairman R. Arthur Williams, and vice-chairman, Oscar W. Doane,Jr.,two gentlemen who had been on the Committee from its inception. Past and present members of the Committee were at the dedication ceremonies and we wish to publicly thank the people who made it so enjoyable. There have been changes in the membership of the Cape Cod Tech committee during the year. In Brewster, Paul P. Sullivan 36 replaced William Ramsey,who resigned; in Chatham Phyllis S. Thompson and Henry J. Marcks replaced Joan Goodwin and William Wescott, who resigned; in Eastham Thomas Collins replaced Edith Meyers who resigned, and Thomas Galligan replaced Emery S. Loud, who passed away, and in Harwich, Jesse J. Morgan replaced Frederick Dunford, who resigned. Jean Weinig of Truro has resigned and a replacement has not been named to date. We are pleased to report that the program is going according to plans,-some changes are going to be made in the presentation of the academic program. The exploratory program in the vocational areas for freshmen and sophomore students has been completed and the assignment of students to mutually acceptable departments will be accomplished when the students return on January 5, 1976. Our athletic program has been extremely successful and we are most proud of the sportsmanship and the accomplishments of our soccer team,our field hockey team,our cross country team, freshman, J.V. and varsity basketball teams, J.V. and varsity girls'basketball teams,varsity and J.V.hockey teams,and last, but not least,our cheerleaders. Congratulations to the Athletic Department,the coaches, and students for a job well done. I would like to mention each and every shop in this report,but in the interest of space I would invite you,the public,to come and see our Cape Tech facility and become acquainted with the school in operation. Special thanks go to a group of people on Cape Cod called the Retired Senior Volunteer Program for the excellent job they have done in making our operation run smoother. We welcome citizen participation,and we look forward to the calendar year 1976 as a year in which Cape Cod Tech can better meet the needs of the students that are presently enrolled,the future students who will be coming in the years to come,and also to the development of an adult education program to meet the needs of all those people who have so patiently waited for the opening of Cape Cod Tech, you — the taxpayers. A special thanks go to all the citizens who made up the 37 numerous Advisory Committees that were so helpful in the development of Cape Cod Tech,and to give you fair warning that we also need your assistance and your support now that the school is in operation,and that meetings will be called in the very near future. Thanks again for your support. Our Superintendent-Director, Wilfred H. Learned, Jr., maybe reached at the school, or by calling one of the following numbers: 349-6767, 432-4500, or 776-2600. R. ARTHUR WILLIAMS, Chairman Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District Committee 38 Re P ort of the Orleans Elementary School I hereby submit the report of the Orleans Elementary School: OCTOBER 1,1975 ENROLLMENT: Kindergarten 56 PRIMARY UNIT: Grade 1 49 Grade 2 44 Grade 3 43 MIDDLE SCHOOL UNIT: Grade 4 49 TOTAL: 241 TEACHING STAFF— September 1975 Kindergarten: Mrs.Eleanor Fisher Mrs.Catherine Macaulay Primary Unit: Mrs.Pearl Ellis Mrs.Suzanne Henderson Mrs.Constance Newell Mrs.Adrianne Smith Mrs.Maria Waters Mrs.Nancy Williams Middle School Unit: Mr.Edmund Banas Miss Katherine Lester 39 ANCILLARY PERSONNEL September 1975 Part-Time Reading Tutor Mrs.Mary Reynolds Guidance Counsellor Miss Sarah J.Frantz Director of Special Needs Mr.Robert Rotti Speech Pathologist Mrs.Elinor Offill Music Miss Marion Greene Art Mrs.Donna Knight Physical Education Mr.Gregory Bookach Librarian Mrs.Ruth Hunt Nurse Mrs.Ann Phillips Special Needs Tutor Miss Nancy Rohl Title I Tutor Mrs.Linda Doane Full-Time Cafeteria Manager Mrs.Mary E.Tucker Cafeteria Mrs.Anita Walsh Custodian Mr.Lincoln Brogi Teacher-Aide Mrs.Ann Lohan Teacher-Aide Mrs.Helen Kreber Special Needs Aide Mrs.Jean Hammond Secretary Mrs.Theresa Walwer Developments during the 1975-76 school year have been many and varied.Herein are presented a few of general interest. The Day class for the Hearing Impaired (formerly the Wellfleet School for the Deaf) is now located in the Orleans Elementary School. The class is composed of pre-school and elementary age children who reside within an area ranging from Onset to Provincetown. The administrative agent for the program is the Cape Cod Collaborative which rents the classroom space from the Town of Orleans. Having the class in an elementary setting has provided-op- portunities for integrating the children into several aspects of the regular school program. Moreover, the Orleans' children have 40 added a new dimension to their education.For example,many of our children have begun to learn sign language and can actually communicate to some degree by signing. In short, the arrangement is a happy and rewarding one for all concerned and stands as a model program, illustrating that handicapped children can function successfully within a regular school set- ting. Enrollment took a surprising turn this fall.After two years in the two hundred ten to two hundred twenty range, the official October first enrollment reached two hundred forty one, and at this writing it stands at two hundred forty seven. Significantly, the largest grouping is at the kindergarten level.At one point this year there were sixty youngsters enrolled in kindergarten,forty five percent of whom were not residents of Orleans at the time of birth.Irrespective of the much publicized low national birth rate, it is clear that if our elementary school population is to continue to grow,it will be more a function of in-migration than of local birth rates.Thus,myriad economic factors,such as the status of the home building industry in Orleans, will bear watching in terms of the impact on school population. The 1975-76 school year has also brought a new and exciting program to assist in the acquisition of basic skills on the part of children who can profit by additional reinforcement. Federally funded under Title I,the program involves approximately thirty children in tutorial situations in language and math. The data at mid-year reveals a high degree of success in meeting individual objectives. It is expected that the program will be continued in the 1976-77 school year,provided federal funds remain available. Despite all that has been positive,this school year contained an element of deep sadness. The passing of Muriel Shutter last summer was a profound loss for those who knew her professionally and personally. "A teacher's teacher", she had a positive influence on the lives of all with whom she came in contact. Her memory will be nurtured, in part, by a memorial collection of special books in our library-a collection which will grow each year in numbers and in significance.Having taught in several schools in her career, she held the children, staff, and citizenry of Orleans in the highest regard. This affection was reciprocated. Respectfully submitted, LESTER P. ALBEE Principal 41 Superintendent's Report To the Citizens of Orleans: T+:... +16 .7 . T db ai!!d_dd gr eab ! illy uL_a61:Cs as a w3: e: bo. in the Nauset Public Schools,and I look forward in collaborating and communicating with the citizens of the town of Orleans. I hope we can begin our work in a spirit of cooperation and dedication. This relationship will be reflected throughout the school system.The respect for the dignity of each individual will set the tone and climate which can only result in an outstanding educational experience for every boy and girl in our schools. Generally it takes a new Superintendent two full years to know his system.With your help,patience and support,combined with my enthusiasm, I'm sure this will be speeded up con- siderably. I owe a great deal of gratitude to a highly competent central office and administrative staff. They have been very patient with me and have spent countless hours bringing me on board. My sense of security has increased with each meeting. Especially pleasing to me is the outstanding teaching staff.It has been heartwarming to me to see them in action. They have been most friendly and welcoming to me. It has been a beautiful in- troduction - they deserve a competent, enthusiastic leadership team. Some of the work which has begun and has long range im- plications for the schools is as follows: 1.Clustered school committee meetings. This has already begun and will increase the interaction between the towns so'that we can take advantage of the many resources which are available on the Cape. 2.Sequential statement of the curriculum so that each citizen can know what to expect from the schools in the education of their children. 3. Relocation of the central office. 42 k 4. Development of written policies. r 5. Written personnel practices. These five areas will go a long way in improving citizen participation and understanding of the school system. I look forward to our continued mutual cooperation. Respectfully submitted, NICK F. MUTO Superintendent of Schools 43 Report of the Civil Defense Agency To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: A complete operations plan for the Town of Orleans is in the process of being updated. When completed this plan will give every department of the town a basis for planning, organizing, and training to cope with any disaster that may beset us. It is integrated to work smoothly with the towns around us and with the state organization. As soon as it is completed, it will be published and put into effect. The Fire Department, Police Department, Highway Department, Park Department and the Rescue Squad have all participated in some Civil Defense Activities during the year. These departments all took part in a test exercise based on a simulated severe winter storm (Code Name "Snowstorm 17511). The exercise went very well: At this time I wish to thank town officials and the citizens of Orleans for their cooperation. Respectfully submitted, RAPHAEL A. MERRILL Civil Defense Director 44 Report of the Conservation Commission 1975 was an active year for this Commission. Negotiations with property owners continue in an attempt to acquire additional land for conservation. The "Wetlands Protection Act", recently strengthened, has required us to hold an increasing number of hearings. We are actively interested in acquiring,by purchase or gift, marshland or other land suitable for conservation purposes or scenic views, especially in the Cedar Pond, Skaket Marsh and Rock Harbor areas, including former cranberry bogs or other wetland I wildlife areas. The"Conservation District"provision of the Town By-Laws continues to do a good job of protecting local water as well as salt water wetlands. DANA ELDRIDGE 45 Report of the Barnstable County y Health Department ANNUAL REPORT—1975 A. The provision of leadership and technical skills is one of the stated purposes of the Barnstable County Health Department. This report demonstrates the efforts of the.staff to improve and update their skills,to impart these skills to health workers,and to develop or augment local program activities based on staff skills. We have agency membership in the Massachusetts Public Health Association, the Massachusetts League for Nursing, Council of Public Health Agencies, the American School Health Association and the Cape Cod Community Council.This provides us with current data on trends in public health practice,reports of health department services elsewhere,information about new resources for care. The professional staff maintain individual memberships in their respective professional organizations and in related organizations, which provides access to a widespread source of scientific information. This is not a one-way flow of data, since some of the staff hold an office in these organizations or are members of the Boards of Directors. In these situations staff contribute to others from their own experience and knowledge and they strengthen their abilities in leadership,group dynamics and public speaking.Some os these organizations are listed: American Public Health Association, New England Public Health Association, Massachusetts Public Health Association - nominating committee Massachusetts Health Officers Association - executive committee Massachusetts Environmental Health Association - Board of Directors Nation.

For the first time in many years we have recommended revocation of a license and recommended no-renewal of a license. These actions were based on the strict safety requirements of the new State Building Code, and have led to a better understanding of the requirements, better working relationships with Day Care operators,Fire Chiefs and Building Inspectors, and greater protection for young children. Both situations have been resolved and are now licensed. The public health laboratory has been expanded in size and additional equipment obtained. Although the construction of cabinets is not complete yet,and the water still,water bath, and spectrophotometer are not operable, we have begun to do ad- ditional water samples under an agreement with the "Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission 208 Waste Water Study",and will be able to do more accurate and involved chemical studies for towns and individuals and will have space to do more salt-water samples next year. The offices of the Handicapped Childrens Clinic were moved to the southwest corner of the lower floor, the area was remodelled and redecorated, and a sizable storake area was made available to us. We appreciate the support and confidence placed in us by the County Commissioners and the other County and Town Depart- ments. 1975 Department personnel included: Esther G. Howes, R.N., M.N., M.S.

We widened and resurfaced the following roads and parking areas: Nauset Beach Parking Area Rock Harbor Old County Road Pochet Road Town Hall Parking Lot Our Winter was cold, windy and snowy. There were many hours spent on keeping our roads plowed and sanded. The severe Winter we had left the roads in unusually poor condition. This was due to the severe cold winter with the freezing and thawing. Along with our Spring cleaning, such as mowing, sweeping, painting sign posts and putting up new signs, under Chapter 90, we widened and resurfaced Eldredge Parkway and we also put in a bikewalk. I wish to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to all Town Officials for their help and cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK G.

Alter :%o nt— of design development by architects Alger and Gunn of Hyannis, a contract was signed in November 1975 with Vista Construction Corporation and Ezerins Corporation, a joint venture,for the construction of 60 additional units. The contract price is $1,306,000. Construction was officially started on December 1,1975. The contract calls for completion by December 1, 1976. The number of applicants,as of June 30th of this year, was 115 and the list is being increased weekly. During the year there have been two vacancies in the original buildings due to moving or sickness. There has been one death. When the note issue for financing the original project (667-1) was refinanced in September of 1975,the amount was increased to allow for repairs and a reserve for maintenance. This debt now stands at $940,610. In March of 1976 the Commonwealth issued a combination of serial and term general obligation bonds at 9 percent, with maturities up to 20 years, to cover all of the State's Housing Authority notes. These notes were purchased by a syndicate headed by Solomon Brothers. As a result, the Orleans Housing Authority notes due in September of 1976 will be redeemed by the State. As of June 1976 the operating receipts for 9 months were $19,817 and expenditures were$26,743,leaving a deficit of$6,925 which will be underwritten by the State. In February 1975 Robert S. Schoonmaker resigned as Executive Director and Mrs.Rebecca E.Schoonmaker resigned as Rental Assistance Program Supervisor. The Housing 54 Authority accepted both resignations with regret as both had been exceptionally competent and well liked. In April 1975 James E. Hammond, Sr., of Orleans, was ap- pointed Executive Director. He has served faithfully and well. The State 707 Rental Assistance Program had 10 families enrolled as of June 30, 1976 — a decline from a high of 16. No additional funds are available to the Orleans Housing Authority from the Commonwealth for rental assistance. The Tonset Woods Association has maintained an active schedule of meetings, luncheons and other functions at the Community Building. The building has also been used by the Council on Aging 'for meetings and a monthly geriatric blood pressure testing clinic,a craft group of the Orleans branch of the Cape Cod Hospital Aid. Association, and meetings of other community groups. Carl M.Withus was elected to the Board for a five year term in May 1976. At the annual meeting on May 9, 1976 the following officers were elected: Donald B. Foresman, Chairman; Leroy K. Behr, Vice Chairman; C.H. Kruidenier, Treasurer; Carl M. Withus, Assistant Treasurer; Alberta M. deRonge, member and James E. Hammond, Sr., Secretary. The Commonwealth has recently issued a new set of rules and regulations covering five categories of management. Under "Eligibility" the maximum annual net income of an individual has been increased from $4,500 to$6,000 and for a couple from $5,000 to $6,300. The Board wishes to thank Police Chief Landers and his department for keeping a watchful eye on Tonset Woods, Fred Mayo and his staff for taking such good care of our road and the Selectmen and other Town officials for their full support at all times.

NORGEOT 56 Report of the Insect Pest Control To the Citizens of the Town of Orleans Each and every year new insecticides are put on the market and have to be learned about. Each and every year different insect pests rise up and give us trouble, so in this department there are no set patterns we can follow,so we go by weather conditions and insect populations and infestations. Pine Needle Borer,Turpentine Beetle and Locust Leaf Miner are causing trouble at various parts of town. Turpentine Beetle are very hard to control because they bore into the trunk of the pitch pine trees and only come out once a year. They come out between May 15th and June 30th or ac- cording to weather conditions. We don't have a long lasting in- secticide to control them so we have to spray more often or wait until we see them on the tree trunks.It is a small beetle about 3/s inch long, black with yellow spots on it. All the other insects that have been troublesome in the past such as Gypsy Moth, Fallweb Worm, Elm Leaf Beetle, Tent Caterpillar and Oak Leaf Miner are being controlled and kept at a minimum by spraying and scouting. A new spray machine was purchased and was delivered and is working very well. Some of the"newer"insecticides being used are "Cygon 2E" and "Diazanon" and work very well, but are expensive so are used for special purposes. Respectfully submitted Paul P. 011ivier Insect Pest Superintendent 57 Report of the Tree Warden To the Citizens of the Town of Orleans 1)T__—_ LLB _ L _f_ _ t�1 1T11�4 Ywi iii-�.7 i��_r(i_1i Tit T1 c�}p� pe L -U ULb'.LnL..r�u�dr yv �a'.LL,, �iLV vaYia YlaYialt.i 'IY el Lila Y�r Ll l department and in the phases of the care of the town owned trees. All the trees that have been planted and maintained by this department are being put on a schedule of strict care. Many varieties of new trees are being planted instead of only two or three varieties because if we have another disease out- break such as Chestnut Blight or Dutch Elm Disease and the host trees are spread all over town and not in one area, it won't be as severe a loss. The varieties of trees being planted are Little Leaf Linden, Crimson King Maple,London Plane,Purple Leaf Plum,Kwanson Cherry,Sweet Gum,Colonial Sugar Maple and Flowering Crabs. These trees were purchased and handpicked by this department so we could get the best trees possible. Dangerous limbs and trees were removed all over town. Trees on roadsides were pruned and fertilized. All the trees planted over the past years have been fed with chemical fertilizer and then in the summer months, liquid fer- tilizer and water are pumped into the ground with the spray machine. Respectfully submitted Paul P. 011ivier Tree Warden 58 Report of the Dutch Elm Disease To The Honorable Board of Selectmen Orleans, Massachusetts Gentlemen: As during the year 1974, a control program of elm tree in- jections was carried out in 1975. Records are kept of all the elms injected with the new solubilized benomyl; an appropriation of $5000.00 was used. We were only able to treat 110 elms, plus 16 elm trees were treated at my own expense,it is money well spent. This treatment of elms goes in conjunction with spraying and elm tree sanitation for a good control program. There is a good deal of risk and responsibility involved in the injection treatment and must be performed by experienced and qualified arborists. The treatment program is showing good results and is very encouraging,I honestly believe we can prolong the life of the elm tree. There are still a good number of healthy elms in Orleans.It is the objective of the program to continue in 1976 treating the remaining trees. We must fight Dutch Elm Disease so we can save our State Tree, "The American Elm." Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER 59 Report of the ` Snow Library Building Committee At the May 1975 Annual Town Meeting,the Town voted$7,500 for the completion of the architect's plans by Frank B.Sellew and to put out bids for an addition to Snow Library. The Town-appointed Building Committee met together many times to discuss with the architect, librarian, Trustees, Select- men, and others the most pressing needs of the Library. Setting as our limit an amount of money which the Selectmen and Finance Committee felt that they and the Town would support, the Committee proceeded to try to get"the most for it's money," economizing as much as seemed possible and wise. Plans and specifications - approximately doubling the floor space of the original building and making full use of the basement -were put out for bid on March 26.Bids were received and opened on April 23.The low bid of Davey Construction Co.of Hyannis was considerably above our estimated figure. By further reducing plans,we decided to ask the Town for$185,760. This request was passed by a vote of 500 to 3 at the May 3, 1976 Annual Town Meeting. Soon after Town Meeting the contract was signed. A ground- breaking ceremony took place on May 13. Work on this project was officially begun on July 1, 1976. The Committee is grateful to the Selectmen, Finance Committee, other Town officials, Trustees, Friends of Snow Library, and all the voters of Orleans for their encouragement and support. KATHARINE MILLIGAN, Chairman DAVID WILLARD, Secretary ELEANOR LUND DAVID GESSFORD EVERETT W INSLO W Snow Library Building Committee 60 Report of the Board of Trustees of Snow Library The year 1975 was no exception to the past few years in regard to library usage as Snow Library circulation continued to climb. It went from 69,112 to 81,360 which was a 15 percent gain (18 percent for summer months). The crowded conditions in the Snow Library are in the process of being alleviated as the voters at Town Meeting passed the article calling for an addition to Snow Library. Work has begun on the addition, and we are watching with interest as the shape and size of the building change. The Trustees have worked closely with the Building Com- mittee in planning the building to meet the future needs of the town. They would like to thank publicly the Friends of the Snow Library for earlier underwriting the cost of a consultant who outlined our future needs in a detailed Building Needs Program, and for their current willingness to help provide future interior requirements. We look forward to the completion of the addition in the late fall and the opportunity to provide increased library services for the community. DAVID GESSFORD Chairman, Board of Trustees Snow Library 61 Town Nursing Service Annual Report The Town Nursing Service offers community health services to the residents of Orleans and school health service to the Orleans Elementary School. Home care is available to all; an evaluation visit can be had by calling your Town Nurse at 255- 2561 or by leaving a message at 255-0050, but medical services must be covered by a doctor's order. Services, under Medicare, of a home health aide and-or a physical therapist are also provided under contract. A successful Flu Clinic was held in October for Town em- ployees and senior citizens. Blood Pressure Screenings were open to all Town residents in October and May in conjunction with the American Heart Association. These were well attended and will continue on a semi-annual basis. The Geriatric Counseling Service, co-sponsored by the Council on Aging, is held the second Thursday of each month. This is a free service offered to senior citizens and has been well received by the participants. I wish to thank Ms. Gail Rainey and the Orleans Housing Authority for their help and cooperation in this endeavor. Christmas dinners were again generously donated to a number of shut-ins through the kindness of a local citizen. The Salvation Army Service Unit has added a number of items to our sick room supplies,including an electric bed used by a handicapped patient. A contribution was made toward the purchase of an electronic sphygmostat to be used at the Blood Pressure Clinics.

DALEY Chairman 66 Report of the Council on Aging To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Orleans The year of 1975 - 1976 was one of constant growth and persons fillip out development. The number of g q uestionnaires cards and receiving identification ,has been more than doubled. Over 30 volunteers staffed the office from 10 to 12 and 2-4 Mondays through Fridays. Three Senior Aides staffed the office during the year obtaining financial,housing,medical assistance for scores of elderly citizens advising many more as to resources, filling out Social Security Medicaid,Medicare and tax forms,etc. In November 1975, the Council joined in sponsoring a suc- cessful Meals-0n-Wheels program for the house-bound elderly. Since then 2000 hot lunches have been delivered. Elder Services (formerly Home Care) of Cape.Cod and the Island supported us with case-work and employment counseling. Early in January 1976,the Trustee of the Anslow Fund chose the Council as one recipient, thereby making it possible for the Council to move into larger quarters in the same building and to expand its services to the elderly. Former tenants of our new offices left kitchen equipment for our use. Many friends have donated beautiful and useful furnishings. Quarterly newsletters,newspapers and radio releases,have kept us in touch with each other. We hope next year that more citizens,60 years of age and over,will participate in the Council programs.

DICKERMAN Senior Aide 68 Report of the Personnel Board for 1975 ® 1976 The 1975-76 year saw the Personnel Board increased from three to five members. This enlarged board has proved to be a great improvement with its broader background in experience and outlook. During the year we saw the withdrawal of the Fire Depart- ment and Rescue men from the Personnel By-Law to form their own federation. Several of our articles in the Town Meeting Warrant dealt with the removal of mention of the Fire Depart- ment in the By-Laws. The principal item which we worked on and presented to Town Meeting was a complete revision of the pay schedule. The main feature of the new schedule was even steps between , minimum and maximum pay levels in each permanent slot after increasing the maximum pay rates by 3 percent to 5 percent. The new pay schedule was approved and has been put into effect. The board is presently laboring over a complete re-writing of the job descriptions for all town employees. We are striving to create a readable,understandable,workable and complete set of guidelines to be used in the hiring and advancement of town personnel under the Personnel By-Law. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM B. MOORE Chairman 69 ----------- - Report of the Planning Board June 1975 to June 1976 in the past year,the Planning Board developed a format at to aid in tightening up the weekly meeting in order that more could be accomplished. We feel this objective was met. We have learned the valuable lessons connected with a Planning Board tool called the "covenant". The covenant when used properly can assure the orderly and complete development of subdivisions at the expense of the developer. . .not the tax- payer. This tool will become more a part of the careful execution of future subdivisions as land becomes more scarce. The Board devoted its Fall "planning meetings" to redrawing the Subdivision Regulations. These were put aside until the Annual Town Meeting Articles were drawn to a con- clusion. The coming year will see the final redraft of these Regulations. Unlike other years,our pre Town Meeting hearings received an excellent input. In fact, we found interested residents sub- mitting well researched and detailed suggestions-guidelines as it turned out-for the Board to work with in establishing the ar- ticles which finally reached the Town Meeting floor. Not without considerable discussion,the Meeting voted a new Rural Business classification into the Orleans Zoning ByLaw and applied that classification to South and East Orleans. Ap- propriate Bulk and Use Regulations were also approved. This did not amount to a major change since both areas were previously or were then business uses. A change in the Commercial Area now allows the retail sale of"...agricultural...and other needs and supplies." And a Resolution was passed concerning our discontent with Federal and State encroachment into Town affairs. 70 In the coming year the Board will review parking requirements for businesses and will review a major change in the Zoning Laws of the Commonwealth . Entitled Section 808 of Chapter 40A, this revised section of the law deals directly with our work and the Planning Board must be prepared to accept or amend this section which becomes law in January 1978, or sooner, if the Town-votes it in. Still pending is a feasability study by the State relative to an extension of Old Colony Way from the Town Center to the Mid Cape Highway. Also the Bikeways are yet to be resolved. As open land slowly accrues to the developer the Planning Board will address itself to new demands on the Town. A study by a subcommittee of the Planning Board will soon be under way to look into a form of development, be it smaller lots, Planned Unit Development,Open Space Village, or a new concept yet to be unveiled, which will permit the youth of our community an opportunity to remain here or to move back in the future. Although exciting does not appear the word to describe the work of the Planning Board we are very anxious to look into these many matters and more which will face the Board in the coming year. Your continued input is both welcome and encouraged. Respectfully submitted, MARC NORGEOT, Chairman EDWARD`ROHMER, JR. Vice Chairman ROBERT WILKINSON, Clerk HOWARD FRANKLIN TRUMAN HENSON ROBERT LARRIMORE ALFRED PERREAULT THOMAS SMITH ROBERT WALTHER 71 Report of the Recreation Committee To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Orleans: During the summer of 1975 the.Commission sponsored ac- tivities which included boys' and girls' playground activities where attendance records were broken- 210 boys and 92 girls. The Swimming Program enrolled 329 youngsters with 175 cer- tificates being issued. Tennis classes were filled to capacity with 75 youths and 50 adults (approximately 30 additional persons were turned away because of class size limitation-25 to a class). Orleans fielded five Little League teams (average 15 players to a team),2 Pony League teams (ages 13-15),and 1 Teener League team (ages 16.- 18). The girls softball program increased to 2 teams from Orleans playing in a regional league. The league was broken up into two age groups of children from 8 to 14. Fall and winter youth programs sponsored by the Com- mission include soccer for the boys, field hockey for girls (the only program not showing an increase in interest)and basketball programs for boys and girls. All of these programs are combined with the other four towns in the Regional High School District. The Commission initiated an instructional skating program for boys and girls as well as continuing with partial monetary sup- port towards ice time for the youth hockey program. Adult programs sponsored by the Commission include the ever increasing in popularity, Town Team Soccer, Town Team Basketball, and continued partial support, of Town Team Baseball. We wish to thank all Town Departments,employees,parents, and participants for their help and cooperation in making the program a successful one. Respectfully submitted, LEO P. HULLER, Chairman Orleans Recreation Commission 72 Report of the Registrars of Voters To the Honorable Board of Selectmen; Gentlemen: The Board of Registrars of Voters submit their report for the year 1975. 1975 was an active year politically. There were no State elections but there were two town elections. This plus the population growth in Orleans in 1975 contributed to the increased activity in voter registration.Total registration at the end of 1975 was 3146, broken down as follows: Republicans 1518, Democrats 360, Independents 1268. There were 283 names removed from the voting list for cause as required by law. There were 274 new voters registered; this resulted in a net loss of 9 registered voters in 1975. As required by law,the Board of Registrars conducted the annual listing of all residents 17 years of age and over.The count in this age group as of January 1, 1975 was 3605. Listing of dogs and their owners was conducted at the same time for assessment. There were 670 dogs declared by residents. Respectfully submitted, BARBARA A. GARDNER MARILYN KENT FULCHER GEORGE W. DOANE 73 Report of the Rescue Squad To Lawrence L.Ellis,Chief of the Orleans Fire Department and to the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Orleans. I hereby submit my report for the Orleans Rescue Squad for the year ending December 31, 1975. During the month of August the Rescue Squad's new am- bulance was delivered and put into service. With the ability to carry more equipment and a larger area to work in, we feel we are able to give better emergency medical care to the victims of illnesses and accidents. The 1967 ambulance has been kept as a backup to the new ambulance, and has been used numerous times during back to back Rescue calls. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Rescue Squad for their dedication and for a job well done. The following is a breakdown of our calls for the year 1975.

Our Rock Harbor project, to increase the docking space at the filled area,has run into a snag for the time being,but we hope to straighten it out in the near future. The Harbor Patrol was a great help in both the Town Cove and in the Pleasant Bay area. Twenty-nine boats were recovered and returned to their owners. One hundred thirty two (132)boats were stopped and inspected. Eighteen people were taken from the water from overturned boats, sail, and fifteen boats were towed to safety. We wish to thank all the Town Departments for their help and cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, GARDNER E. MUNSEY, Harbor Master 79 Report of the Marine Biologist Ten locations in Orleans were selected for the planting of 10,000 seed hatchery raised quahaugs for experimental purposes in determining their survival and growth. A similar experiment n"o iviaa�li,abt��tsa C ha+rs3�aa!aa!d 21tes cS f�!!,Jens SS�� g:L LS�',, the results of both experiments were compiled into a joint report. Overall,the quahaugs survived quite well; they were planted at approximately 1/4"and most are currently over 1". Because we were encouraged by the results, the Shellfish Department ex- panded the program for the 1976-7 growing season. Two boxes called quahaug hatcheries were placed in two different bodies of water for the purpose of spawning quahaugs and catching the spat. The boxes were monitored throughout the growing season by both water and sediment samples. The boxes were removed from the water in the late fall with some success. A total of 205 bushels of adult quahaug stock was trans- planted from Cape Cod Bay to various locations throughout the Town for the purpose of providing additional quahaug spawn into the waters of the Town. The program has been effective in the past and hopefully will continue. A joint program to try to catch soft shell clam spat was initiated in the spring of 1975 between the Orleans and Chatham Shellfish Departments on North Beach. Our attempts were successful in areas where there was natural stock but not in areas devoid of natural soft shell clams. however,many of the quahaug experimental areas showed sets of soft shell clams under the protective netting. A total of 26 bushels of seed soft shell clams were trans- planted into Orleans waters and many are of harvestable size this year. Orleans has been plagued for several years by the ap- pearance of paralytic shellfish poisoning or the Red Tide which has seen the IV""ruiid and Robert's Cove closed to the taking of shellfish. It is a natural phenomenon whereby the food that the 80 e shellfish eats contains a toxin that does not injure the shellfish but can cause illness to humans. The Town-is constantly monitored by the Mass. Dept. of Environmental Quality Engineering(formerly called Public Health) and the areas are reopened by the State only when the shellfish are fit for human consumption. Additionally, the shores of the Town are constantly monitored to check for new populations of-shellfish and to keep track of all the age classes of all the species of importance as well as their predators. A total of 21 bushels of seed scallops were transplanted from the Town Cove to areas in Pleasant Bay. Some of these scallops were marked with a coloring agent to try to keep track of their movement. We hope that these scallops will produce additional spawn into Pleasant Bay which has not had a good set of scallops in several years. Respectfully, SANDRA M. UBBY, - 81 Report of the Veterans' Agent To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens of Orleans: There has been a decline in the number of veterans requiring our services in the past fiscal year. Hopefully this is an in- dication of the start of a much needed economic recovery and stabilization not only in our community but across the nation. The following is a summary of various services offered by this department and the number of veterans assisted in Fiscal Year 1976: 1. Total Contacts 68 2. Received Financial Benefits 9 3. Financial Aid Denied 8 4. Pensions Filed 8 5. Miscellaneous Requests Requiring Action 43 I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Selectmen and the various Town departments for their help and cooperation. I would also like to thank Mary Rooney and Barbara Britton, the clerical staff of this office, for their continued efforts to maintain high quality of service to the community. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT L. CAREY, Veterans' Agent 82 i Report of the Water Commissioners The Board of Water Commissioners held twenty-four regular meetings and five special meetings'during the calendar year of 1975. In the first six months of 1976 there were twelve regular meetings and two special meetings. Although the construction program under the Bond Issue voted in 1973 has again been the principal concern of the Water Department, the installation of services and the regular main- tenance of hydrants, gate valves and such have kept pace with the current needs. The construction program is now ap- proximately 95 per cent completed and it is hoped that it will be finished in the entirety by the end of this fiscal year. There are now two stand pipes and five wells in active use. The in- vestigation of the wellfield for future available water is roughly 25 per cent complete. It has now been more than fourteen years since the Water Department was voted into existence in 1962 and the first Bond Issue was voted. There are nearly 2%times as many subscribers to Town Water as there were at the completion of the first full year of business and we are pumping more than three times as many gallons of water as we pumped in 1964. In 1975 the Water Department pumped 213,507,488 gallons of water. During the first 6 months of 1976104,301,760 gallons were pumped. There were 15 days in the month of June 1976 when more than one million gallons of water were pumped each day. As yet there is no indication of any lessening of the water supply and there is no indication of any need to curtail the use of water. During 1975 the Water Department issued bills for water usage in the amount of $143,024.62 reflecting an increase of $8,656.64 over 1974. In addition,$243.00 was billed for repairs and other services, $675.00 for sprinkler systems and $10,682.79 for guaranteed extensions. The total billing for 1975 was$154,625.41, showing an increase of 305%in the billing over the first full year's billing. 83 The billing for the Department for the first six months of 1976 was: Water usage - $102,159.28; Repairs & Service - $536.19; Sprinkler Systems - $700.00; and Guaranteed Accounts $12,039.43 with a Grand Total for the six months of$115,434.90. Eighty two.new services were installed in 1975 and ,forty , fdur 19 S.--& a �� a °7 Aie s d f 6 LLUIS AV O-!, Oaa aaen c 1 y. t rsC o �M 1?7 fiscal year there were 2420 service,installations connected in the Town of Orleans plus 34 service connections which supply Brewster residents living in the area of Route 39. As the number of new installations decreases the amount of repair work in- creases on both mains and service lines. More than five thousand feet of mains were installed bringing the total mains up to about 68 miles. In addition 11,859' of service pipe and 8 new hydrants were installed, giving the system a total of 558 hydrants. Our appreciation of the public who show such understanding and patience when they encounter water related problems is unlimited. We also wish to extend our,thanks to the other Cape Water Departments and to all Town Personnel for their cooperation and assistance. Respectfully submitted, ROGER F. SMITH Chairman RAYMOND E. NEWTON Clerk C. FRANCIS RICHARDSON 84 i I, Report of the Shellfish and Waterways Advisory Board To The Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Orleans This year the Commercial fisherman and Family permits have been doing well. The number of commercial and pleasure boats is still in- creasing every year. Rock Harbor has an increase in the number of boats that use the town docks and floats. Open meetings were held in regards to Rock Harbor. Dredging has to be done at Rock Harbor to eliminate the hazardous condition; namely, the prevention of mobility of the boats in case of fire. The Harbor Master is patrolling the waters of the Town Cove and the Pleasant Bay area so that he will have better control of the speeders, check safety equipment, and also help anyone in distress. Some dredging is to be done in the near future in the Pleasant Bay area of the Narrows,where the sand is being washed from the Island by the high tide that we have been getting in the past years. The dredging will be done as soon as the permits are received. At Rock Harbor,the survey and test boring programs have been completed. After approval of the Conservation Com- mission,new plans and applications must be drawn and filed for permission to complete the Rock Harbor programs. The Board is continuing a survey of the impact of com- mercial fishing, sport fishing, and boating, on the economy in Orleans. Propagation of shellfish has been enlarged and experiments are continuing successfully. 85 Controls of Blue Crabs and Flounder are being worked on. Improvements on Town owned property at Snow Shore were discussed and decided against. The decision on Paw Waw Creek property,offered for sale to the Town of nrlpnnc_ wac hPid in Ahovnnno The Shellfish and Waterways department is continuing to supply complete reports and to advise of all of their activities,to this board.

During the summer of 1975 the Commission sponsored the first public performance of two plays written by Mercy Otis Warren, "The Blockheads" and "The Motley Assembly". Mrs. Warren was the sister of the Barnstable Patriot, James Otis,Jr. The Town of Orleans became a National Bicentennial Community on July 24,1975 thus making Barnstable County the first in the Nation. to become a 100 percent Bicentennial County. In the Spring of 1975 the Commission prepared an attractive folder with a map showing the location of sites of historical in- terest plus descriptions of these sites. The booklet is available free of charge at the Town Hall and the Information Center. On September 20, 1975, the Commission presented a re- enactment of the Battle of Rock Harbor which had occurred during the War of 1812. The Barnstable County Militia, the 64th Regiment of Foot,from Fairhaven, Mass., and the Orleans Sea Scouts took part in this highly acclaimed pageant. 87 On May 2nd 1976 the Orleans Girl Scouts planted a LIBERTY TREE in the triangle at Academy Place with a suitable plaque commemorating the Bicentennial. A Bicentennial Quilt is being made by a group of dedicated local ladies depicting historic and other well known scenes in Orleans. A Self-Guided Tour of the Town of Orleans has been made available by the Commission. the Tour is on magnetic tape and highlights Orleans history and historical sites throughout the Town. The Orleans Bicentennial Booklet is available to the Citizens. of Orleans. This booklet contains the program of events scheduled for the Bicentennial Year. The National Bicentennial Celebration begins on Flag Day, June 14, 1976 and continues through July 5, 1976. The booklet contains, in addition to the above, much general information about the Town of Orleans, illustrated with old and new photographs and old and new histories and other pertinent data in association with the Bicentennial. Each of the members of the Commission taking part in the celebration of our Nation's Two Hundredth Birthday hopes the program and activities sponsored by them has enhanced your enjoyment.

These questions concern such matters as the feasibility of having a town purchasing agent and of combining several departments into categories such as; Department of Public Works, Depart- ment of Parks and Recreation, Department of Natural Resources, etc. It is too early at this time for the committee to make recommendations as to these changes. They will be studied in depth in the coming year. There is much basic background information which the committee needs to obtain from the departments not yet in- terviewed before more intensive study can begin. It is the recommendation of the committee that our work be continued for another year. Respectfully submitted. Cynthia W. Hooper, Chairman 91 Report of the Orleans Cape Bikeway Committee 1975-1976 The Orleans Cape Bikeway Committee was appointed by the Selectmen in March at the request of the Cape Cod Planning and neU-r01-1- c Development Coniinission. ':'fie latter County organization was acting at the request of the State to plan and develop a bakeway system throughout the State. The primary means of people transportation on the Cape prior to 1910 is said to have been the bicycle, followed by the horse. The automobile drove the bicycle as well as the horse, off Cape roads. The energy crisis is reversing that trend as evidenced by the rapidly increasing use of bicycles by all ages. For example, data collected by this Committee indicates that bicycle traffic on East Main Street and Beach Road exceeded 5% of all vehicular traffic last summer. By a recent State Law, the bicycle has been given equal rights to all roads except limited access highways. Cape roads are generally quite narrow; hence the Committee's problem is to find inexpensive means to make bicycling safer. Starting in May, twelve local and five Cape Regional meetings have been held,the latter joined by representatives of all Cape Towns save Wellfleet. Locally, the Committee analyzed bicycle accidents in coordination with the Traffic Study Committee and determined that school-age children operating bicycles in the business district dominated the rapidly increasing rate. Accordingly, in cooperation with the Highway Surveyor and approval of the Selectmen,two bicycle routes were designated to draw bicyclists away from Route 6A. Further, the Highway Surveyor and the State DPW have worked in a widened sidewalk or Bi-walk on Eldredge Parkway, built in 1976 as part of needed road repairs. This Bi-walk will serve well the children of both the Elementary and Middle Schools. Of principal interest was the possible use as a bike path, the 92 Railroad Right of Way, purchased by the Town in 1975. A detailed report and recommendations were given to the Select- . man; an Article containing recreation beneficial easements was presented successfully to Town Meetin • and lengthy discussions held with State Agencies that are funding; and engineering sources. This Committee is particularly pleased that a strong resolution it proposed to the Regional Committee eventually resulted in the Governor's endorsement and legislative fund request for a South Dennis to Eastham bikepath using the right of way. Further, at Orleans' initiation, the Regional Committee reached informal agreement with the National Seashore to coordinate with their constructive efforts so that a limited ac- cess, through bike-path from South Dennis to Provincetown should be built within five years. Finally, again at Orleans' initiative, an agreement with Brewster resulted in State allocation of funds for immediate construction of a path from Nickerson State Park to Orleans Center. The possible co-use of the Railroad right of way for the ex- tension of Old Colony Way to the Eastham Rotary was worked out in cooperation with the Traffic Study Committee and the Orleans Board of Trade. A feasibility study of the use of this particular section will be undertaken by the DPW at Town request late in 1976. The Committee sponsored the formation of a local bicyle club in the Town which later became a multi-town club—the Nauset Wheelmen. It is hoped that the Club will do much to promote safe participation in this healthful and useful sport. National af- filiation is expected late in 1976. A similar objective is being served by the excellent efforts of the Police Department in its annual Bike Rodeo and their teaching efforts in the Schools. Much awaits us to be done. Our regular meetings are posted with the Town Clerk. Come work with us. SHERMAN C. REED Chairman 93 Report of the Traffic Study Committee 1975 — 1976 1975-1976 The Traffic Study Committee was authorized by Article 11 of the Noveaiiber 7,19;4 Special Town Meeting to study`=Traffic and Parking". After formation early in 1975, it voted to include traffic measures to ensure effective use of emergency vehicles within Orleans. Fourteen meetings have been held in 1975 and the first half of 1976. Three formal reports have been made. In one, an analysis was made of the effect on emergency vehicle service of the summer traffic on Route 6 in Eastham. The data gathered therein together with strong representations by the Board of Trade concerning the bad effect on business are felt to have resulted in the State Department of Public Works (DPW) decision to return Eastham's Route 6 back to four lane from two lane. A second report outlined the need for traffic counters to gather reliable data and proposed the best type for the Town to purchase. In 1975's Annual Town Meeting, the Police Depart- ment was authorized to purchase these counters with State aid. That purchase is under way. A third report analyzed in great detail the traffic and parking problems in the semi-business district near the Post Office on East Main Street in comparison with a similar 1000' of Route 6 proximate to that Post Office. The report was submitted to both the Planning and Appeals Board to aid them in their deliberations. A report covering all Orleans for 1972-1975, using all available State and local data,is under preparation and will be finished late in 1976. It should be useful in highlighting traffic and parking problems, indicating solutions, and establishing priorities. Revision of the Orleans Traffic Regulations is under way. 94 Last enacted in 1937, they are much in need of revision. Well along, work should be completed by late 1976. A large number of specific problems have been studied and in most cases specific recommendations forwarded to specific Town Departments for decision and action. Our most serious problem remains the high traffic and accident rate on Route 6A. For possible alleviation of this problem-and at the Selectmen's request, we have asked the DPW, through the Joint Tran- sportation Committee of the Cape Cod Planning and Economic Development Commission,to perform an engineering feasibility study of the extension of Old Colony Way through to the Eastham Rotary. In turn,the State has decided that a Corridor Planning Study is required with which the Traffic Study Committee will cooperate. Sometime late in 1976,this Study will be received and recommendations made to the Selectmen. Another spec;lic problem studied in coordination with the Bikeways Committee was the sharp increase in bicycle-car accidents. Data was provided and comments made on various recommendations of that committee. The Traffic Study Committee meets approximately monthly at a regular time and place posted with the Town Clerk. Visitors are welcome. CHESTER A. LANDERS,, Chief of Police Chairman 95 Cable Television Issuing Authority The Board of Selectmen of the Town of Orleans wishes to express its appreciation and gratitude for the excellent job performed by The Cable Advisory Committee. Their relentless nursiiit of the fanco Im 1+_A . P� _1 �_u_ r.,_, y. q 4a.YO&1617 L10OULYZ11 LS_Prim S�S�Ll��U vii' Svde9V il�iVn License that is the finest document of its kind in the State. The Board of Selectmen hereby issues its report approving and disapproving applicants for a cable television license. This report is issued in compliance with Section 4.6 of the "Procedural Regulations for Granting Antennna Television Licenses" promulgated by the Massachusetts Community Antenna _ Television Commission. Two companies have submitted applicants for a cable license in Orleans: Bayside Cablevision,Inc.and Cape Cable T.V.,Inc. Both applicants appeared at a public hearing held on April 22, 1976, but since that date Bayside Cablevision withdrew its ap- plication. The reason given to the Board of Selectmen was the difficulty Bayside experienced in obtaining financing for the system. The Board of Selectmen as the Issuing Authority, has assessed the legal, character, financial, technical and other qualifications of the remaining applicant, Cape Cable T.V., Inc. In considering cable television for the Town of Orleans, we have given paramount consideration to the need for better reception of broadcast television signals. While we are aware of the "blue sky" potential of cable, we feel that residents of Orleans are more interested in the quality of their television reception and the price they must pay for that service, rather than the multitude of imported distant signals or the number of hours of local programming that might be provided by cable. Although Cape Cable T.V., Inc. is the only applicant at present,we find that they do possess the qualifications necessary to construct and operate a successful system in the Town of Orleans. 96 Cape Cable T.V.,Inc. is being backed by a parent company, Kalbert Enterprises, Inc., which owns 80 percent of the local company's stock. Kalbert has supplied a letter of intent in- dicating its willingness to provide sufficient funding to build the system. An independent check by the Board of Selectmen has assured us that Kalbert is not only willing, but capable of financing the required construction. Kalbert Enterprises also owns and operates several other systems in other parts of the country, so it has the necessary technical background and experience in this unique area of communications. We are also satisfied, after checking with one of those Towns that Kalbert will construct and run an efficient system here in Orleans. We also note that the subsidiary, Cape Cable T.V., Inc. is owned and directed by local people who are familiar with the Town and willing to cooperate with local government officials. In addition,Cape Cable has agreed with substantially all our specifications for a cable license. Finally, we are interested in the possibility of Orleans for- ming the nucleus for a larger regional system which would allow certain fixed costs and operating expenses to be shared with resulting lower subscriber rates. Cape Cable T.V.has expressed an interest in obtaining additional licenses in contiguous com- munities. For the above stated reasons we have agreed to grant a Provisional Cable Television License to Cape Cable T.V.,Inc. Board of Selectmen By ROBERT R. PENO, JR. GASTON L. NORGEOT HERBERT F.

The committee appointed by the Selectmen now includes Lawrence Wason, Chairman, Susan Milton,Sherman Reed,and Michael Zeeb. We regret the loss of Mary L. Hunter who moved away midyear. Using work done earlier by a summer employee as a starting point, the committee read all Town Meeting minutes since 1793, the Town's inception, picking out votes which appeared to regulate Town government and in later years, votes clearly called Bylaws or General Laws. The committee will soon complete a rough indexed and chaptered draft of all Bylaws and General Laws accepted by the Town that are of continuing general interest. It will then con- centrate on a similar compilation of local ordinances and regulations of wide concern. We plan to complete by the next Annual Town Meeting. No expenditures have yet been made. After meeting with Selectmen, the $500 voted last year will be carried over and should suffice for drafting. Town Counsel, Larry Spaulding,has contributed substantial legal help without charge for which we are most grateful. We are also most grateful to Town Clerk, Barbara Ilkovitch, and Town Treasurer, Jean Deschamps for their help in finding Town records. LAWRENCE WASON, Chairman 98 Report of the Growth Policy Committee The Growth Policy Committee was organized by direction of the Office of State Planning and was mandated by the State. The Bill known as S-2087, titled the "Massachusetts Growth Policy Development Act"was signed by the Governor on December 22, 1975. The Committee had ten meetings, including two advertised public hearings. The Questionnaire that had to be filled out dealt with the past, present and future growth of Orleans, our relationship with our neighboring communities and the County. The Report is much too lengthy to publish but copies are available in the Selectmen's Office and also at the Library for those interested in reading it.

TURNER, Chairman CHARLES DARLING, Vice Chairman EDWARD G. BENZ BARBARA A. DESCHAMPS DANIEL E. HEGARTY FRANK IRELAND GEORGE NORGEOT DORIS C. RAINEY RODNEY WHITELAW 101 Report of the Park and Salt Water Beaches Department To The Honorable Beard of Parlr.rnmm ceinnere and ritimene of Orleans: The Park and Salt Water Beaches Department continues to provide the best recreational areas available to our residents and summer visitors. During the 1975 season our income from the beaches was as follows: Daily Parking Tickets: $70,914.00, Seasonal or Weekly Stickers and Surf Tickets: $4,966.00,Beach Buggy Permits: $15, 309.00, Concessions: $3,200.00, and Telephone Commissions: $74.09,for a total of$94,463.00, an increase of$6,430.00 over 1974. This year we continued our 24 hour emergency vehicle service at Nauset Beach. In addition,we purchased more of the latest life saving equipment. The resurfacing of the Nauset Beach Parking Lot, was completed this year,and with some minor changes we gained 15 parking stalls. The parking lot was filled to capacity 13 times during the summer, with the beach being closed to swimming only one day due to the Rip Tide. An article for the replacement of our 1969 4-wheel drive pick- up truck will be submitted at the annual town meeting. I would like the citizens of Orleans to be aware of all the projects completed by the C.E.T.A. personnel who were under our department. Listed are a few of the larger projects: Renovation of the Town Office building upstairs and down. Building of(2)new concrete dugouts for Eldredge Field. Building of (6) new floats for Pilgrim Lake. wnSti ueiiun of a uCw ffeiice and geienvuse ivr the tower disposal area. 102 We were also fortunate to have had an excellent sign painter assigned to our department; all signs in areas in the town were repainted by him. Also many other projects were completed too numerous to mention. I think these men deserve a Thank-you from the Residents and Taxpayers of Orleans, for the jobs well done and the many tax dollars saved by their efforts. We wish to thank all the other departments and interested citizens for their help and cooperation during the year. Respectfully submitted, MAURENCE H.
