Smyser, Jr. Anne Borsari 14 Report of-the Board of Selectmen The Board of Selectmen of the Town of Orleans function as the administrative heads of our local government having in addition executive and quasi judicial and quasi-legislative powers. We also serve as the tax assessors, the Board of Health and Park Commissioners, and in our various capacities we oversee the Town's day to day business. Among those things voted by past Town Meetings which we have accomplished in the Town during the last year, were the installation of a replacement bulkhead at Rock Harbor and the addition of floats alongside; the installation of a new bulkhead and widened ramp at the Town Cove; the acceptance of the remaining one-half of Sipson's Meadow from Victor Horst for the propagation of shellfish; and control of gypsy moth infestation by aerial spraying. The Board of Selectmen encourages the expansion of the Orleans Fire Department to provide better protection for the many new dwellings and business buildings in the Town. We feel that since it has been over thirty years since the basic equipment of the fire department has been increased, it is,now time to take advantage of new fire-fighting techniques, by the acquisition of new additional equipment. The proposed new aerial ladder truck will add a dimension to our fire-fighting capability that has only been available before from out-of-Town assistance. The pump on the truck will add a fifty per cent pumping capability to the department. Among the problems facing the Town are those occasioned by the change-over from a calendar to a fiscal year. In theory this will provide efficiency and save the Town money on borrowing interest on loans in anticipation of tax revenue. We doubt the increased savings will offset the cost of the changeover. We can only wait and see. Federal Revenue Sharing is supposed to lessen the tax load that must be borne by local property taxation. Like most federal programs, it is restricted in its application and allocation and practically is only available for specific capital projects. This will in effect have a reducing effect on the tax rate, but only insofar as a source of available funding which will reduce the 15 need to raise -and appropriate monies for needed projects. Federal Revenue Sharing cannot be used to directly cut the tax rate. We have had many meetings and conferences on the subject and will be working closely with the Finance Committee until Town Meeting in order to inform the Inhabitants of the most advantageous use of these funds. There is an overall street light survey being taken by the Utility Company to improve our street lighting. May we take this opportunity to urge all our citizens to redouble their personal and community security efforts to help combat the rising crime rate; always lock your car and your home. Nickerson Road, Lowell Drive, Winslow Drive and Bay View Drive have become "Town Roads" and will be plowed and maintained by Mr. Mayo, the Highway Surveyor, and his able crew. We have acquired land in the rear of the highway garage or future expansion of this important facility and hope to be able to report by March 12th the acquisition of the Old Colony Railroad Right of Way and additional land at the West end of Crystal Lake. We urge the inhabitants to seriously consider the proposed zoning (Protective By-Law) changes. The rapid expansion of Orleans is evident and this expansion must .be controlled if Orleans is to retaip its character as the nicest small town any of us know. Progress uncontrolled is no progress at all. The avenue of control is our Protective By-Law. Other projects voted and underway are a Breakwater from the Eastham side to protect the entrance to Rock Harbor from wave wash during high tide Northwesterly gales; and traffic lights at the entrance to the Cove Bog Shopping Center. As these are State-supported contracts, we do not have the direct control of the work but sincerely hope they will be accomplished before the summer season. This Board has recently negotiated an agreement with the new Orleans Police Federation establishing pay scales and rules regarding working conditions for patrolmen and police sergeants. 16 We have had support from all departments of the Town and the Townspeople and expect continued co-operative effort in all areas of Town Government. Respectfully submitted, PAUL P. HENSON, JR., Chairman DEAN K. HOWERTON HERBERT F. WILCOX Board of Selectmen 17 Report of the Board of Assessors During the year 1972 the real and personal property was re-evaluated to bring all properties in the Town to full and fair valuation as required by the Constitution of Massachusetts. This is the third re-evaluation of Orleans property since 1953, Land and buildings were re-evaluated as of January 1, 1954 at fifty per cent, brought to one hundred per cent in 1962. Land only was re-evaluated in 1964, and land and buildings in 1972. The tax rate in 1954 was $33.40 on a tax base of $6,975,000 — (one hundred per cent adjustment $16.70 on a base of $13,950,00. The 1972 tax rate is $17.00 on a tax base of $129,888,830. Only a portion of this increase is additional property, new buildings and subdivided lots. The major portion of the increase is additional value at market. Generally speaking, a half-acre house lot is worth in 1973 four or five times its market value in 1954. Buildings have generally increased in market value about sixty-four per cent (64%) since 1954. Building permits issued during 1972 indicate an increased tax base for 1973 of $4,896,000, or approximately $85,000 of increased revenue. . Because of the fiscal year changeover, the 1973 budgets and special articles must provide funds for an eighteen-month period. Because of pending legislation seeking to modify the effects of the fiscal year changeover, it is impossible to accurately project the effect on tax rates in 1974. Depending upon Town Meeting action in March, the 1973 tax rate will probably not be more than $19.00, an increase of $2.00. This is at best a "guesstimate". The re-evaluation resulted in an overall percentagewise rise in business and waterfront land values, and tax bills on these parcels are up. Percentagewise, the overall assessments are less in terms of tax dollars on buildings and most inland lots and acreage. There follows the recapitulation sheet which shows the basis on which the tax rates were set in the year 1972. This includes charges by the state and reimbursements from the state. The formulae are complicated and weighted in favor of schools. Respectfully submitted, PAUL P. HENSON, JR., Chairman DEAN K. HOWERTON HER13ERT F. WILCOX Board of Assessors 18 Report of the Board of Health The engineering report which is being prepared for the Town Disposal Area, as required by the State Department of Public Health, is nearing completion. Preliminary reports indicate that there is no contamination of our watershed from the sanitary landfill. During the year new regulations were adopted for the disposal of sanitary sewage which increase the control of the Town Board of Health over such installations. A few violations of both Town and State health regulations were investigated and appropriate action taken. Many tests were made by the Barnstable County Health Department of the water at various swimming areas and of samples from domestic_water supplies; all were reported to be satisfactory. DEAN K.

This systemic injection is the most promising method to date. We cannot afford to neglect its use until some other better system has been developed. We cannot waste time until the State tells us it is all right to use when several states in the mid- west have tried it successfully. It is used under the guide lines of Environmental Protective Agency Reg. No. 352-354 for use as an aid in combatting Dutch Elm Disease. Last Summer (1972) several elms were injected with this fungicide. We will be able to tell the results next Spring or early Summer, More trees will be injected in 1973. The method and technique of injecting the fungicide Benomyl holds promise. However, much testing still remains to be done. If the tree is dying, there is little point in using the system since it is not strong enough once the tree has gone that far. The big problem is getting the fungicide into the tree uniformly. Presently, the injection process seems to be the most practical method but it still is not perfect. The other insects under the control of the Insect Pest Department were kept in check. Several diseased elms were taken down and the wood removed to the Town Dump to be buried. Respectfully submitted, Emile A.

Our Spring clean-up consisted of patching and sweeping of roads. The street sign posts and guard posts were painted along with the painting of traffic lines throughout the Town. The major project this year was the resurfacing of Brewster Crossroad, Herring Brook Way, Beach Road, entrance to Fire Station and Tonset Road. Drainage was installed on Route 39 and Beach Road. Under Chapter 90 Construction, the approach to the intersection of Route 39 and 28 was improved. 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. MAYO Surveyor of Highways 32 Deport of the Water Commissioners The Board of Water Commissioners held 21 regular meetings and three special meetings during 1972. In their eleventh annual report one hundred fifty-two new installations are recorded for the year, bringing to 2097 the number of water services installed since the establishment of the department. Since July 1, 1963 the Department has issued water bills totaling $597,392.51. Total billing for 1972 metered usage was $96,156.09, with an increase of $12,784.43 over the 1971 figure. In addition $411.75 was billed for additional usage, $636.55 for Services of the Water Department, $97.50 for sprinkler systems and $789.42 for guaranteed extensions. The grand total for 1972 was $98,091.31. Never before has the direct effect of rainfall on our pumping system been so clearly shown. With 1972 reporting the heaviest rainfall in recorded history, our total number of gallons pumped was down by 5,694,100 gallons. Still we pumped more than one million gallon per day on 14 separate days. July 12, 1972 accounted for the greatest consumption with 1,181,280 gallon pumped in that twenty-four hour period. As a service to the Town, and at no cost to the public, 302 meters were removed from seasonal dwellings and stored for the winter. This service is performed at the request of any property owner. More than two miles of new water mains were laid in 1972 for a total of 60 miles of mains. In addition 16,668 feet of service pipe and 24 new hydrants were installed during the year, giving the system a total of 475 hydrants. We wish to express our appreciation to our subscribers for their forbearance with any inconvenience we may have caused them, and to thank them for their cooperation with our meter readings and billing. We also wish to express our sincere appreciation to the other Cape Cod Water Departments and to all Town Personnel for their cooperation and assistance. Respectfully submitted, ROGER F.

The Rock Harbor floats were finished late last season but are ready now. The work on the breakwater on the Eastham .side will start soon. Shellfishing fell off this season due to heavy digging in 1971, and everything closed down in late September because of the red tide. Some areas will have to stay closed this year for replanting. Scallops held up well, Orleans being one of the few towns that had a good set in 1971. The loss was about forty (40) per cent, due to the heavy rain and run-off from the land and the red tide. But prices were very high, and that made for a very good season for the commercial fisherman. Respectfully submitted, WARREN E. GOFF Shellfish Warden and Harbor Mastet 0.

Due to the population increase of the past few years the development of our waterways will have to be continued in order that our citizens --- as well as visitors to Orleans — may have use of them. Requiring improvements are launching ramps, bulkheads, floats, channel buoy systems, pollution control and swimmer protection as well as parking areas at town landings. Needed also, are restricted areas for water skiing, swimming, traffic control and patrol boats. Greater control of anchorages and moorings is also a definite requirement.

Why the Annisquam area was the center of the bloom remains a mystery. But an analysis of the environmental conditions there gives some clues. Mulligan believes the rapid growth of the Annisquam Gonyaulax is due partly to a so-called upswelling just north of Cape Anne. An upswelling is a sea-air condition that causes decaying nutrients from the lower levels of the ocean to rise to the surface, cooling the surface temperature and providing food for the Gonyaulax plants, which apparently thrive on those nutrients. In July an upswelling occurred near Annisquam. That condition combined with a record rainfall during July and was followed by strong offshore winds during August. 42 Deport of the Tree Warden To the Citizens of Orleans: The influence of trees on man's physical well being and surroundings persists and remains today as part of our culture and customs. From earliest times, man's instinct has been to seek the protection of trees. We must do the same today. The past misuse of the American Elm tree has created many dangerous and expensive situations. The terrific expense involved in a control program is very discouraging. While we do know that a properly executed tree care and spray program is effective with the proper chemicals, we have the fanatic ecologists to thank for trying to stop our programs. The huge cost of dead Elm tree removal has become a nightmare for all cities and towns of New England in the Dutch Elm Disease area. Few people realize that Dutch Elm Disease is not just a local problem, it is all over the eastern part of our country. As in the past years, young trees are being planted along our roads. With a certain amount of vandalism, theft and drought during the summer months, keeping the trees in good condition is a problem. These young newly planted trees are both beautiful and functional. They will do the exact job we want without conflict. Roadside clearing of interfering trees and brush is being done. The most necessary roads are corrected first step-by-step as a safety precaution. Any trees injured by cars or vandals were either removed or treated. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER, Tree Warden 43 Brewster-Orleans-Eastham Ambulance Association, Inc. Board of Selectmen Town of Orleans, Mass. We are pleased to report that we have been able to continue our usual service to the citizens of the area through 1972. This we have done in a manner that general comment has termed highly satisfactory, indicated by the many letters and other responses that we have received. It is our aim to continue this service for the three towns. Our Ambulance has traveled a total of over 140,000 miles since its purchase in 1969 and has been kept in the best possible condition and is ready to respond whenever needed. Our garage was finished the first of April 1972 and we are now in our new quarters built at the rear of the Orleans Police and Fire Station, and is open for inspection at any time. The need for our services has increased each year and 1972 was no exception. Below is a comparison of the number of persons transported in 1971 and the increase in 1972.

In November 1971, wage controls were instituted by the Federal Government, and much time was devoted to an understanding of and compliance with the wage guidelines. Now we enter Phase III, with mandatory regulations removed for all except a few problem areas. However, Phase III does expect everyone to give "voluntary cooperation" in the effort to curb excessive inflation for both wages and prices. It is possible that new wage guidelines will be suggested, but it is premature to forecast the outcome and progress of Phase III. In early 1972, our Board finished a complete revision of the Personnel By-Laws, including extensive changes in our salary structure for permanent Town employees. The new By- Laws were approved at the annual Town Meeting in March 1972. Respectfully submitted, RICHARD KEENE, Chairman 49 Report of the Building Inspector To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens of Orleans. During the year of 1972 the following number of Building Permits were issued for types of construction and at valuesi tabulated below. Residences: New 132 Alterations and or additions 72 Non-residences New 13 Alterations and or additions 21 Swimming Pools 2 Total permits issued 240 This is an increase over 1971 of 50% in new residences. The following Permit fees were collected: Building $4,896.00 Plumbing 1,248.00 Gas 325.00 Sewage Disposal 755.00 Sewage Disposal Repair 186.00 Total Revenue for 1972 $7,410.00 Duririg the year 49 violations of the Protective By-Law were reported and investigated. Of this number it was necessary to resort to court action in one instance only. In June the Board of Health adopted Article XI of the State Sanitary Code. Under this Article it is necessary to establish the suitability of a piece of property for sewage disposal before a Building Permit will be issued. This code also prohibits the future use of cesspools for new construction. Septic tanks with suitable means of effluent disposal by seepage pits or leaching fields are now required. Respectfully submitted, ROGER H. MARTIN, Building Inspector 50 Report of the Park Commission I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Park Depart- ment for the year of 1972. By the opening of the 1973 beach season, we hope to have the new Bath Houses at Nauset and Skaket Beaches erected and available to the public. Due to unforseen expenses we were unable to seal-coat and paint the Tennis Courts this year. We will endeavor to correct this situation in 1973. Income at Nauset and Skaket Beaches was as follows: Parking Tickets $36,333.00; Surf Tickets $480.00; Stickers $3,549.00; Beach Buggy Permits $8,632.00; Concessions $2,800.00; Telephone Commissions $111,75, for a total of $51,905.75. Beach Buggy Use Report for the season from May 25th through October 9th, inclusive: 8,172 Vehicles and 28,778 Persons were checked through the area. Parking areas were filled on 11 days. Signs have been posted at these areas, Information Booth, Main Street and Academy Place, Junction of Main Street and Barley Neck Road, and Mayo's Farm, to notify persons when areas are filled. Any help or suggestions to improve and beautify our areas from interested citizens will be greatly appreciated, within the limits of our budgets. Respectfully submittea, CLARENCE L. VANASSE Superintendent 51 Barnstable County Health Department 1972 ANNUAL REPORT The year 1972 has been one of expansion and changes. Mary Susich retired as County Health Officer on January 31st and an acting administrator, Esther G. Howes, was appointed until July lst when she became County Health Officer. There has been a replacement in the position of Junior Sanitarian. There are now four staff working with the State funded Handi- capped Children's Clinic. There has been a vacancy in one of the two Nurse Director positions since February. There have been reclassifications of 5 positions in order to bring salaries into line with current local and state guidelines. Four new positions had been requested but were not made available. The one Nurse Director has been able to provide consultation and supervision to some 64 public health nurses who work in schools and Home Health Agencies. Considerable emphasis has been placed on helping the professional advisory committees and the nurses in the Home Health Agencies so that standards of care and appropriate agency policies are available, and state and federal guidelines are met. Educational programs have been provided regularly in order to improve quality of care and to provide for expansion of services; cooperative planning has involved the local chapters of voluntary health agencies. The development of more comprehensive school health services has been continued, for the third year in one town, and for the first year in another. This work has begun with a restatement of the purpose of health programs in schools, a request for a waiver of certain state regulations in order to implement a different program, and has led to efforts to identify children's individual needs early, to develop systems of carrying out important screening techniques, and to arrange coordinated planning for children with special health needs. School systems are being encouraged to look at the responsibilities of school nurses, and roles of school physicians, at policies pertaining to the administration of medication and treatment at school, at the differences and similarities in the processes in health services and in health education. 52 Medical Social Work emphasis this year has been directed towards the improvement of communication between the Department of Public Health, the Department of Mental Health, and the Department of Education in order to provide the best services possible to children with physical handicaps and other special needs. As the agency delegated by the state to recommend licenses to nursery schools, and as administrator of the Handi- capped Children's Clinic, the Barnstable County Health Depart- ment is in a unique position to do this. Meetings have been held with the staff of the Cape Cod Mental Health Center, the Association for Retarded Children, local Home Health Agencies, public health nurses, local school nurses, and directors and teachers of the Cape Nursery Schools. This has been done in an effort to help plan for children already in the Public Schools and those who will be future students, It has been necessary to add an additional Social Worker to the staff this year to work with the Handicapped Children's Clinic and as a result it has been possible to make pre-clinic visits to almost all of the new patients admitted to the Clinic. The Social Work staff have served over 120 families in 1972 and as a result have become aware of the increasing need for a Family Service Agency on Cape Cod. The Social Workers have been active in many local and state 'planning groups and have taken continuing education courses throughout the year. The Handicapped Children's Clinic staff includes four state funded positions; a physical therapist, a medical social worker, and two secretaries. Services now include not only orthopedic consultation and' treatment, but pediatric assessment, and neurologic consultation and treatment including referrals to a Plastic Clinic and arrangements for hospitalization and out-patient care at New England Medical Center and at Mt. Auburn Hospital. Children up to the age of 21 years are seen when referred by their family physicians. 323 children are now being followed, the majority have multiple problems involv- ing the need for periodic re-evaluation, treatment, special equipment and surgical intervention based on their progress, development and age. It is now possible to provide progress reports to the family physicians and to the schools when indicated. The physical therapist also has provided much con- 53 sultation to school nurses and physical education teachers so that the special needs of these handicapped children can be met at school, and so that no child will miss the opportunity of having appropriate physical education activities. She has assisted one school in an experimental posture screening and remedial program, and an illustrated instructional booklet has been prepared for teacher use. Scoliosis screening at appropriate age levels is now in effect in two school systems and could be developed in others. The Dental Hygienist has continued to provide dental health education and consultation service to parent groups, nurses, teachers and school programs. Motivating children to good oral health practice and educating the public in the prevention of dental diseases must be done as long as dental caries continues to be a top priority public health problem. Direct services such as screening and topical fluoride programs were limited to pre-school children and Head Start programs. During the summer months fluoride clinics for children entering school in the fall were held in two.towns. Plans to continue an epidemiological research study of tooth enamel to determine the fluoride content are pending for the coming year. This study will be conducted in the Barnstable School System in conjunction with the Barnstable County Health Department and the Forsyth Dental Research Center. Environmental Health Report: Inspections are being carried out as provided by the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code for eating establishments, swimming pools, recreational camps, tent sites, and local sewage systems. This was the year of the "Red Tide" which caused heavy economic losses to the shell fishing industry on the north shore but no fatalities. "Red Tide" refers to the presence of the organism, gonyaulax, which causes paralytic shellfish poisoning. In handling this situation we received excellent cooperation from the Boards of Health, Shellfish Constables and Police Departments. This is the first emergency that we can recall where an organization was formed in a matter of hours to cope with the situation. This should be further developed for emer- gency use in the future. 54 This year we have expanded our laboratory activities to include examination of shellfish and expanded chemical examin- ation of water and sewage. The remodelling of office areas and of the Health Depart- ment laboratory has meant some inconvenience; the additional office space now provides more privacy and efficiency in operation. Additional office equipment and laboratory equipment is planned for. In reviewing goals for this year we had given priority in strengthening staff and services in Environmental Health, and Medical Social Work and reclassification of staff positions. We must continue this in the coming year also. 1972 Department personnel included: Esther G. Howes, R.N., M.N., M.S. County Health Officer and Certified Health Officer Ruth J.

LANDERS Chief of Police 59 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 1972. The year 1972 was exceptionally active due to the facts of National and State elections and the two primaries also Federal and State changes of the Laws regarding residency requirements (now 31 days). These changes resulted in very heavy registrations during regular working hours and at all Special registration sessions. The total number of voters at the end of the year 1972 was 2,992. There were 1,552 Republicans, 365 Democrats and 1,075 Independents. There were 688 new registrations, 172 registered voters were removed as required by law due to death or having moved away. There was a net gain of 516 more voters added to the voting list. The Board of Registrars conducted the annual listing of all the residents in the town together with the listing of dogs, (three months and older) and their owners who declared 601 dogs in the town. Respectfully submitted, LEO H. CUMNHNGS, Chairman Barbara A. Gardner Irene M. McCoubrey :1 Report of the Conservation Commission In 1972 we acquired by purchase, an additional piece of fine conservation property, located on the easterly side of Herring Brook Road. It is 1.38 acres in size and has 183 feet of shore front on Pilgrim Lake. A total of 6.5 acres for Conservation, plus the beach property, gives the Town a total of 8.5 acres of land at Pilgrim Lake. 50% of the purchase price for the new property has been refunded by the State Self Help program. Mr. Victor Horst has very generously given all of the Little Sipson Island marsh or meadows to the Town for the purpose of propagating shellfish. This piece of marsh is about 37 acres in size, located easterly of Little Sipson Island on Pleasant Bay. We regret to report that the restrictions of the Coastal Wetlands Act have not as yet, been applied by the State for the protection of designated wetlands. Because of this, we have asked the Planning Board to approve a substantial expansion of the Town's Conservancy District Zoning By-Law. The Conservation Commission is now charged with greater responsibilities for carrying out the provisions of the 1972 Wetlands Protective Law of the State, and is obliged to hold public hearings in cases of persons intending to remove, fill, dredge, or alter any bank, dune, flat, marsh, meadow or swamp. After all local laws have been complied with and such work approved locally, it must then issue final order of conditions. Of great concern to us, is the drastic need to keep to a bare minimum, the amount of road salt use. Road salts, plus heavy storm drainage into Town Cove and other ponds and lakes in the Town, might eventually pollute some Town waters.. Such pollution has in some areas of the States, reached underground water supplies. We are, in the majority, strongly opposed to the overall. general aerial spraying of insecticides. MALCOLM M. DICKINSON, Chairman rail Report of the Orleans Housing Authority 1972 was an active year for the Orleans Housing Authority. Completion of construction and selection, of the tenants were the major areas of activity. Mrs. Alberta M. deRonge, whose term expired in March, was re-elected for five years. All of the 1971 officers were re-elected at the Authority's annual meeting. The term of Philip A. Deschamps, Governor's Appointee, expired in 1972. Mr. Deschamps decided to withdraw his name as a candidate for re-appointment. He was the construction supervisor on the project. His practical approach to problems will be greatly missed. As this report is written, the new appointee has not been named. A revised contract for financial assistance was negotiated in August and a new series of one year notes for $770,000 was sold. Marine Midland Bank was the purchaser at an interest rate of 3.11%. Mr. Robert Quirk was appointed executive director, reporting to the Housing Authority. Tonset Woods, the name chosen for the apartments, was formally opened on September 1st with 100% occupancy and a waiting list of about 15. 57.5% of the occupants came from Orleans. 30% came from nearby Cape towns. 12.5% came from off Cape. All of these had a son or a daughter in Orleans. The Authority is grateful to the following people and organizations for their help in completing the project: The Orleans Woman's Club, the Orleans Community Exchange, the Nauset Grange and the Orleans Rotary Club for their contributions in furnishing the Community building; Mrs. James Muir, Mrs. Helen Vancil and Mrs. Donald Foresman who served as a decorating committee; The Snow Library which maintains a library at the Community building. 62 The Tonset Woods Association has been formed by the residents for the purpose of planning social and recreational events and to make suggestions to the management regarding the operation and maintenance. There was a waiting list on January 1, 1973 of twenty-five, ten of which are off-Cape. There is no immediate plan for building additional apartments. The Department of Community Affairs advises that it is not practical to build less than forty units. Another year of operation, during which the Authority will have more experience with the turnover rate of residents and know more about the application potential, should yield data for making a decision on expansion. The Orleans Housing Authority also administers what is known as the "707 Rental Assistance Program." This is funded by the Commonwealth for the purpose of giving rental assistance to families of all ages whose incomes are not sufficient for obtaining adequate housing. The Authority has four families under this program. Respectfully submitted, DONALD B. 1~ORESMAN, Chairman Orleans Housing Authority 63 Report of the Director of Civil Defense To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans. The Orleans Civil Defense Office has continued to improve the town safety potential against any results of attack, any big storms or any other emergency that might arise. During the past year many meetings have been attended in reference to these emergencies. One of the basic topics was Nuclear Attack. The Office of Civil Defense has concentrated on developing a nationwide system of public fallout shelters. Progress has been made, but much remains to be done. Monthly radio drills with Sector C2 and other towns of the Cape are done on a regular basis. At this time I wish to thank my staff, town officials and the citizens of Orleans for their cooperation in the past years. Respectfully submitted, RAPHAEL A. MERRILL Civil Defense Director 64 Report of the Planning Board Citizens of Orleans: During 1972, your Planning Board strived to outline goals for the future development of Orleans. These goals broadly are to maintain the very qualities which have expanded Orleans from a population in 1965 of 3,181 to today's tally of 4,102. At this rate of growth, the priority of vigilant long-range planning for the perpetuation of Orleans' unique qualities is even more apparent. Because our valuable land is being used up at an alarmingly fast rate, your Planning Board has dedicated itself to guiding the Town's growth in that direction which will conserve the resources we now take for granted, and to maintaining the esthetic qualities for which Orleans is renowned. The following, representing many man hours, is a brief enumeration of our activities during 1972: Meetings 37 Public Hearings 23 Plans Studied: Approval not required 51 Preliminary approval 7 Advisory opinions 33 Subdivision Plans Approved 75 (containing 203 lots) Conferences with Building Inspector re: site plans and other questions 62 The Planning Board wishes to thank town citizens and town officials for their active participation and cooperation in Planning Board meetings held during 1972, and further welcomes and encourages increased participation. Respectfully submitted, TRUMAN HENSON 65 Report of Snow Library If Snow Library were to adopt a motto, it might appropriately be "Ever Upward". The circulation in 1972 continued to escalate, going from our previous high of 58,000 to 65,000. But these figures represent only one phase of our growth pattern. Library facilities are being used as they never have been before, to the point where the trustees and staff only wish that walls and shelves could be made of rubber, so that we could quite literally expand in every direction. Since the opening of school last fall, and continuing an experimental program initiated the previous school year, Nauset Regional Middle School students have been daily library users, corning in each and every day during their free periods. Story hours have been expanded and financed by the Friends of Snow Library, particularly in summer, to meet the needs of children in the pre-school through elementary age groups. Youngsters from the local Head Start program also use the library. In the first step of a "Library Outreach" program, trustees voted to establish a book depository at the Tonset Woods Housing for the Elderly. With selections changed monthly, this service has proved to be most successful and enables persons who do not have ready access to transportation to have a choice of the kinds of books they like to read. Also, in accordance with a plan initiated by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, Snow Library Trustees voted to permit Lower Cape out of town borrowers to take books from the library, using their own local library cards. This reciprocal practice follows current library trends and is very much in step with the times;_it makes a Snow Library card valid in many other Cape public libraries. Of particular significance was the Cape Cod Library Day sponsored by the Friends of Snow Library on November 8. Twenty-four towns were represented, nine of them from off- Cape, and the day-long session brought together trustees, librarians, and members of various Friends' groups. Emerson Greenaway, former president of the American Library Association, and top Massachusetts library officials came to 66 speak. The main speakers were videotaped, and this portion of our program will be used at regional library meetings in other parts of the state and New England. This stimulating exchange of ideas and information among the total attendance of well over- 100 resulted in virtually every corner of the library crammed. Having "every corner crammed' however is not always beneficial; because the library is being subjected to increasing use, several of the local groups which had been meeting here were forced to find. other quarters during 1972, including the Men's Garden Club to which we are so indebted for the beautiful plantings on the library grounds. This is a penalty of progress. We are feeling growing pains acutely,. Some of our audio-visual aids, for example, really cannot be used adequately because there is not sufficient space. Other equipment such as our copy machine obtained under a state grant — also serves to bring new users to the library, and we would not have it otherwise. An Eastern Massachusetts Library System Depository in Yarmouth Port has made it possible for us to offer a wider than ever selection of books and materials. All of this is making us cast our eyes toward our Library Building Committee, which after extensive interviewing has now hired a consultant to explore and submit an outline of our very real needs. The year ahead — and the years to come — promise to be especially challenging. Respectfully submitted, KATHARINE B. MILLIGAN, Chairman Trustees of Snow Library M Report of the Information Booth To the Board of Selectmen: The summer of 1972 was certainly a contradiction; it seems that more people were here but we had fewer requests for accommodations. Ordinarily, for several weeks in mid-summer, no accommodations can be had from Harwich to Provincetown; this occurred only at dozen times this year, and Memorial Day weekend was one of these. Numerically, about 15,000 visitors came through the Booth. The week following the Fourth of July, we were besieged with calls from "accommodation people" asking why we hadn't sent them customers. It must be noted that the Booth personnel have no control over the weather, which governs the tourists' stay here. In August, we started using a counter as it was impossible to enter everything in the log when besieged with people. Peak day is usually Tuesday; "I didn't think it would be busy in the middle of the week" is the cry. The last week and the first weeks of August are the peak weeks. The highest count was early August with just under'•400 visitors. Add innumerable telephone calls and you will see why a four-hour stint is about all a person can take! Pre- and post-season average about 100 daily, July about 150, August 200 - 300 with more on weekends, if sunny. Personnel at the Booth this year were Helen B. Toomey, Louise M. R. Marsh, and Lucy K. Hopkins, chief aide. Repairs to the step and threshold should be made before someone is seriously hurt. Insulation for the lower part of the walls and casings for the windows would make the Booth warmer for the really cool days. Here is the same old plea: PLEASE notify the Booth of events, especially suppers and fairs, and ALL CANCELLATIONS. Please call Nauset or Skaket for the tides, water temperature, surf, etc. Also remind people that if it is foggy at Nauset, the sun may be shining at Skatet or uptown. Respectfully submitted, LUCY K.

Mrs. Ellis has done a fine job, however, in seeing us through a period of search for a new Principal, A screening committee has interviewed a number of candidates recommended to them by me. As we approach the season when educators think about changing positions, we will reactivate the search to find just the right Principal for Orleans. Visitors frequently comment on the attractivenss of the Orleans Elementary School and its lovely wooded site. In the summer of 1972 the installation of storm drains and the sodding of portions of the play area has enhanced the beauty and the usefulness of this area. Respectfully submitted KNUTE LARSON Superintendent of Schools. for Union 54 174 Principal's Report ANNUAL REPORT 1972 I hereby submit the report of the Orleans Elementary School. October 1, 1972 Enrollment: Primary Unit A 82 Primary Unit B 84 Language Reinforcement 21 Middle School Transition Unit 54 Total: 241 Teaching Staff— Effective 1972 Primary Unit A Eleanor Fisher Katherine Vaughn Susan Swanson - September - December Primary Unit B Maria Waters Adrienne Smith Muriel Shutter Language - Re-Inforcement t Lass Katherine Macaulay - September - December Mddle School Transition Unit Katherine Lester Edmund Banas Part-time Staff Mary Reynolds Sarah Jane Frantz Marion Green Linda Landers Gregory Bookach Ann Phillips Ruth Hunt Alexander Bruce Suzanne Henderson Learning Disabilities Tutor Guidance Counsellor Vocal Music Art Physical Education School Nurse Librarian Custodian 175 Ancillary Personnel --Effective 197'2 Full Time Theresa Walwer Secretary Ann Lohan 'T'eacher's Aide Bethany Anderson 'T'eacher's Aide Helen Kreber 'Teacher's Aide Lincoln l3rogi Mead Custodian Elizabeth Richardson Cafeteria Manager Mary Edna Tucker Cafeteria Worker You will note that there are two new names on our teaching roster - Mrs. Katherine Macaulay, who is taking Mrs. Constance Newell's class while she is on sabbatical leave this year, and Miss Susan Swanson who is teaching Primary Unit, Level I class in place of Pearl Ellis, who has undertaken the task of Acting Principal. Botts of these people are making significant contributions to the program here and we are most fortunate to have them on our staff. The loss of Miss Bowler as our administrator was, without a doubt, the hardest blow we had to take this year. Her administrative qualities and rapport with the faculty and the children, was such that it created a very pleasant atmosphere throughout the building. It is with appreciation we note her services to our school, and we wish her well in her new endeavor. Haig been in the Orleans system for some twenty one years, but only in the Principal's Office for four months, I will review some of the highlights for 1972. L A Sumtaner Work Project Four teachers from our school have set up a complete curriculurti in Math - to cover all materials at every level — K- 4. This involved handling and evaluating materials in different skills at different levels to insure throughout the school, the spread Of' for the underlying educational concepts which are z a, br-eakdown of rigidness and gradedness approach to teaching. 176 b. stimulation of individual programming c. sharing of all materials by all teachers for the good of all children. d. dedication to the assessment of each child's learning. U. Speech and Language Therapist One of the greatest needs in our district has been that of a speech disorders therapist, and, up until this year, we have been unable to find a highly qualified specialist - Mrs. Elinor B. Offill, who now resides in Orleans, is filling this position and is one of the most qualified and experienced people in this field. III. The monthly publication through June 1972 of the "Sandpiper", a school newspaper written by the Middle School Transition Unit fourth level - a newspaper which portrays creative writing, art, school news and imaginative poetry done by ten year olds. Iv. Our music assembly every Friday morning contributes a great deal to the development of school spirit and a feeling that we are all part of a community. The staff of the Orleans Elementary School is still facing challenges of the future and continues to be receptive to change. However, it still stands for certain basic principles and recognizes and meets the three basic needs of every individual. a. A need for belonging.. b. A need for recognition. c. A need for achieving. Inasmuch as we are meeting the new challenges of today - we are in many instances leaving ourselves open to criticism; thus we invite interested citizens and parents to visit the school and share with us their criticisms and concerns. It is with this kind of understanding and co-operation that harmony will prevail. I wish to thank my staff, parents and citizens of the town for their co-operation, courtesy and understanding, during my term as acting principal. Respectfully submitted, PEARL L. ELLIS Acting Principal 177 Report of the School purse School Nurse services at the Orleans Elementary School are provided on a part time basis through the Orleans Town Nursing Service from the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. daily.

Sincerely, ANN L. PHILLIPS, R.N. School Nurse 178 Cape Cod Regional Technical High School District School Committee During the first three months of this past year our school committee was lead by Joel Wolfson, Chairman, (Yarmouth) and Bernard Klingenstein, Vice-chairman, (Orleans). During our regular yearly organization meeting in April, R. Arthur Williams was elected Chairman (Barnstable), and Oscar W. Doane, Jr., Vice-chairman (Yarmouth). This has been a year of rapid progress in the development of the planning for Cape Cod Regional Technical High School. It seems good to see activity on our site located in Harwich at the intersection of Route 124 and the Mid Cape Highway. We have renovated the one existing building on the 64-acre site into offices for our administrative staff. The craft and professional advisory committees for each of our twenty curriculum areas have been of great assistance in developing a realistic and desirable program and laboratory for their particular skill area. At our introductory meeting the Cape Cod Standard Times reported that the 200 people in attendance were the largest number ever assembled on the Cape to plan a school. These advisory committee members have met with our staff and the architect and have given written recommendations for consideration and adoption. As a school committee we have agreed not to come to the voters until we have a firm bid in hand and can then give you the actual cost for constructing Cape Cod Tech. This figure will be available in late January and we plan to ask for your vote during the latter part of February to authorize con- struction. You have voted for our school twice before, first for authority to form the District, and second for the bonds to purchase the land and pay the architect. We hope you will approve of the results from the tremendous amount of work that has been spent in planning this school and authorize our committee to sell bonds for its actual construction. The undersigned are your local representative's serving on the largest school committee in Massachusetts. Our twenty- two members represent the eleven towns from Barnstable to -Provincetown. Serving on the committee has been a challenging 179 and rewarding experience. We pledge to continue to do our best to be worthy of the confidence placed in us by appointment to this important group.

DESCHAMPS Collector of Taxes 215 In the following pages of the 1972 ORLEANS TOWN REPORTS • there are included — 1. The 1973 Finance Committee Report. 2. 1973 Departmental Budgets, with: A. 1971 and 1972 Expenditures B. 1973 Requested Budgets C. Finance Committee Recommendations on 1973 Budget Requests 3. The 1973 Town Warrant 4. Finance Committee Recommendations on Articles of the Warrant. 216 Orleans Finance Committee To the Voters of the Town of Orleans: The Finance Committee wishes first to point out the change in budgeting required by the General Court's legislation placing all cities, town, counties and districts on a fiscal year - July 1st to June 30th - instead of the traditional calendar year. The Fiscal Cycle legislation synchronizes the accounting periods of these political subdivisions with that of the Commonwealth and the Federal government. To accomplish this, an eighteen month transitional period began January 1 1973. As it stands now, taxes to cover the entire eighteen month transitional period will be assessed as of January 1, 1973. The first payment for twelve months, or two-thirds of the bill, will be due as usal on July 1, 1973. The final one-third, covering six months of 1974, will be due on April 2, 1974. Changes in this part of the Fiscal Cycle legislation are pending in the General Court and taxpayers would be advised to keep themselves posted. For a more meaningful comparison of 1973-74 budget items with 1972 expenditures, the Departmental Budget requests are shown in three columns — anticipated needs for the twelve months of 1973, requests for the first six months of 1974, and a total of both. The final column is the amount recommended for each item by the Finance Committee. Fiscal assistance to State and local governments in the form of Federal Revenue Sharing also is new this year. Guidelines for using this money have been established. "51.31 Permissible expenditures (a) In general Entitlement funds received by units of local government may be used only for priority expenditures. As used in this part, the term `priority expenditure' means: (1) Ordinary and necessary maintenance and operating expenses for — 217 (i) Public Safety (including law enforcement, fire protection, and building code enforcement); (ii) Environmental protection (including sewerage disposal, sanitation, and pollution abatement) (iii) Public transportation (including transit systems and streets and roads); (iv) Health; (v) Recreation; (vi) Libraries; (vii) Social services for the poor or aged; and (viii) Financial administration, and (2) Ordinary and necessary capital expenditures authorized by law." Federal Register October 28, 1972 Such funds (including any interest earned thereon) must.be used within twenty-four months from date of check unless permission is obtained from the Secretary for an extension of time. The Finance Committee feels the best use of these funds is to apply them to the regular Departmental Budget, rather than use the money for speck articles in the rest of the Warrant. It recommends that $138,000.00 in Revenue Sharing, ($69,000 has been received already with an additional $69,000 anticipated to be received by April 1974) be applied to the budget. This is accomplished by applying the $138,000.00 to Police Salaries — Others, leaving $1,475,593.31 to be raised and appropriated for the eighteen months. Requests for funds under Warrant articles (other than Article 2 and the School assessments outlined in Articles 3. 4 218 and 5) total $1,331,151.00, of which $932,000.00 would be financed by bond issues. This leaves $399,151.00 to be raised and appropriated or taken from Available Funds if voters approve all articles. The Finance Committee recommendations on the various articles, total $292;677.88 to be raised and appropriated, $28,000:00 to be taken from'Available Funds (with $20,500.00 of this to be returned upon receipt of reimbursements) and $28,640.00 to be taken from the Stabilization Fund. The Committee also recommends the passage of articles extending and improving the Town water system. There would be no effect on the tax rate this year for these articles; however, repayment and interest costs will add to the tax rate beginning in Fiscal 1974-75. The Fiscal Cycle legislation will cause an increase in the tax rate for this change-over period. However, the Finance Committee feels any increase can be kept within the range of $.',.60 to $1.75, if voters closely follow the recommendations as outlined. The tax increase figure is based on an anticipated total valuation for the Town of $134 million as of January 1, 1973. The Finance Committee, together with Selectmen feels a minimum use should be made of Available Funds for 1973-74 as the fiscal change limits the additions that can be made to Available Funds until June.30, 1975. The Finance Committee wishes to thank all Department Heads of the Town for their utmost co-operation in preparing their budgets for the change-over period. The Committee, after close scrutiny, could find less than $15,000.00 that it felt was unneeded. Much of this was in money that would not be used until after June 30, 1974. However, it should be noted that the Budget permits addition of two new permanent men to the Fire Department and one new man to the Police Department, for better coverage and safety. In addition, members of the Rescue Squad each will receive a token payment of $200.00 annually for the first time. Previously they have spent many volunteer hours aiding and assisting the injured. Voters also should note the increase in the Reserve Fund. 219 N' is re the fund administered by the Finance Committee for the ti Leh and emergency needs. As it cannot be added to until a�Q ghteen months are completed, it is felt this sum should be tr�$tb for the uncertainties facing the Town in the °nal riod Pe ROBERT R. PENO, JR.
