Home My Public Portal About1969 Town Report ANNUAL REPORTS of the TOWN OFFICERS of the Town of ORLEANS For the Year Ending December 31, 1969 INQUIRER ANb MIRROR, INC. NANTUCKET, MASS. In Memoriam Willis S. Gould, Jr. Willis,S. Gould, Jr. Lloyd R. Ellis Willis S. Gould, Jr.—Member of the Town of Orleans Shellfish Advisory Board and the Orleans Republican Town Committee died on January 19, 1970 at the age of 51. The following taken from the February 5th issue of the Oracle indicates the esteem in which he was held: "Orleans lost a friend and enthusiastic organizer in the passing of Willis "Bill" Gould. He served as Junior and then Senior Vice Commander of the Orleans American Legion Post #308 and as its Commander in 1963 and 1964, Bill was honored by being elected in 1968 as 10th District Commander representing the entire Cape. He was the instigator of the American Legion Post #308 Scholarship Fund, awarded each year to a deserving senior girl or boy at Nauset Regional High School. In his memory, donations to the fund may be made, designated Legion Pgst #308 Scholarship Fund, and sent to Leo Cummings, treasurer, Tonset Road, Orleans. In 1966 Bill organized a fund-raising drive to aid Nauset High's Senior class members to go to Washington, D. C., a trip on which he served as chaperone, along with Leo Cummings. Bill was the prime factor in raising funds for the Legion Hall's two additions and its new kitchen, and was the originator of the project to pave the parking lot. During the summer of '69 he made arrangements for the Legion Carnival, and in September saw his efforts for the Legion's auction "pay off" successfully. Noted for his hot stove abilities, Bill was in the kitchen doing his thing for the monthly supper meetings of Post #308, besides running clambakes for good cause. At the Legion Sunday Morning breakfasts, he was always up at an early hour (5 a.m) ready to serve pancakes, along with Red Bissonnette and Joe Rogers. Bill did many favors for many people. He has left a community of friends ready to do a favor for someone in return." Lloyd R. Ellis Lloyd R. Ellis, 70, Deputy Fire Chief died on November 13, 1969. Lloyd was respected by the people of Orleans for his loyalty to the task of protecting life and property for forty years, the last 17 years as deputy fire chief. He owned L. R. Ellis Market and his manner of doing business is a bright spot in the history of Orleans. Many are the people who thank Lloyd for helping them over the rough spots. We are grateful to have known him and revere his memory. Ruth. G. Finlay Ruth G. Finlay, died September 12, 1969 at the age of 67. Mrs. Finlay was chief attendant at the Information Booth for years. A native of Orleans, her cheerful and helpful approach to the many problems faced by our summer visitors was a great asset to the town. She was the widow of the former Selectman Arthur R. Finlay. We will miss her. 4 TOWN OFFICERS ELECTED OFFICIALS, BOARD and COMMISSION MEMBERS Moderator Frank J. Richards Term expires March 1970 Board of Selectmen` Gaston L.

Joan Sparrow (app. 10/22/69) 14 Report of Boards of Selectmen and Assessors There are two projects currently under consideration for future development involving substantial outlays of capital funds in the Town of Orleans. The first is a sewer system for the center of town in the business area. Within the next few years a definite plan may be developed using Federal grant money. It is unlikely that the actual installation and construction will commence within the next five years. Definitive cost estimates and the size of the necessary bonds are merely speculative at this time. The second project is the harbor improvement and channel dredging project for Pleasant Bay, in conjunction with the towns of Chatham and Harwich. This extremely important improvement would be financed initially 3/4 by the Federal government and 1/4 by local interests. It is likely the local share would be 1/2 state and 1/2 by the towns involved. The total cost has been estimated by the Army engineers to be 12.9 million dollars. Final engineering plans have been authorized by Congress, but not yet funded. Probably the cost of the project will be in the neighborhood of 16 million dollars when ready. On this basis Orleans share would probably be $750,000.00 and would have to be raised by bond issue paid in part from user fees for mooring and launching in part by direct increase of taxes (on waterfront property), full and fair personal property taxation upon boats and the balance by increased general taxation. All future maintenance will be borne entirely by the Federal government. Latest (January 15, 1970) developments indicate that an adverse report has been filed by the Commonwealth with the Army Corps. of Engineers. This subsequent report, made with- out notice to the Towns, would seem to kill the entire project if reported by the Corps to Congress. Your Selectmen are now taking every step to reinstate the project and urge all citizens of the Town to give their utmost support. If Pleasant Bay is 15 allowed to stagnate, the damage to our shellfisheries and salt marshes will be irreparable, and property values will suffer greatly. With current building of a new Regional High School already in progress we see no new capital school outlays within the next five years as one third of the current Elementary School population will move to the middle school (the present High School) available when the new High School is com- pleted. Our Fire and Police station is new (1967) and adequate for some years ahead. Our Library is also in good shape buildingwise. There are no new roads contemplated of any great extent, nor necessary since our sub-division roads do not become town roads until they have been fully constructed and paved. Current maintenance and repaving is largely accomplished through Town, State and County funds. All roads rebuilt are co-ordinated as to drainage with a master-plan prepared some years ago for the Town by the engineering firm of Fay, Spofford and Thornedyke. There exists a plan to renew facilities at our beaches. The bath house at Nauset Beach to be replaced by a new structure ($50,000.00) and the present structure to be moved to Skaket Beach and the structure there to be moved to Pilgrim Lake ($3,500.00) for both. Parking fees from Nauset Beach currently match total funds for the maintenance of all Town beaches.) Other recreational facilities of the town (Eldredge Park) have recently been refurbished by matching town and con- tributed funds ($25,000.00) and are considered excellent and adequate for some years ahead. The town continues to expand its water system from current funds. All main extensions into private developments are on an 8% of installation cost annual guarantee by way of water rates. Assessment road rates are increased $2.00 a front foot when water is installed. Regular water rates more than pay for the cost of operation of the water system except for debt service. There are approximately forty miles of mains equalling about 425,000 feet @ $2.00 a foot assessment increase which produces approximately $20,000.00 annually which partially covers the cost of debt service. Insurance rate reductions because of increased protection from water systems more than offset the balance of debt service costs which are borne by general taxation, currently $1.00 per thousand of assessed val- uations for this purpose. 16 Tax assessments in the Town of Orleans are levied on direct ad valorem real and personal property valuations. In 1954 the Clemenshaw Company of Cleveland, Ohio performed a complete equalized reassessment for the town. This system is kept current as to all pertinent information on building and improvements to the land. In 1962 the system was adjusted from 50% to a 1001110 full base in accordance with current decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. In 1964 land only was revalued because of the tremendous increase of market values of land in this town, particularly water front property. We plan that this will be done again during. 1970 to be effective as of 1971 tax bills. Building (1954 base) re- assessments to bring to a full and fair valuation will be accomplished by simply applying a 1970 cost factor to present figures. We currently carry a valuation base of $50,000,000.00. The Com- monwealth of Massachusetts currently carries Orleans in the State Equalized Valuation System at $70,000,000.00 and will go to $87,000,000.00 on the next adjustment. This figure is apparently correct and in line with the current market. Re- evaluation will result in a lower tax rate. However increased school assessments (average 24% for the last four years) and generally increased overall costs (an average of 10% for the last ten years) will probably keep the tax rate at nearly current rates. Orleans will still be among the thirty lowest of the three hundred and fifty-one cities and towns in the Commonwealth. Co-operative community efforts of business, church, school and service organizations within the town are beginning the establishment of a youth center. Low-income housing for the elderly is under way and will be fully funded by the state and federal funds. Co-operative community efforts have begun for middle-income housing for the elderly making use of low interest federally guaranteed loans. The Board of Health will propose a sanitary land fill operation for the town dump. Initial cost will be approximately $55,000.00 with a subsequent annual cost of $20,000.00 in- cluding machinery depreciation. Current expense is about $8,500.00 for rubbish disposal. The town has adequate land for an estimated twenty years of sanitary land fill and possibly longer under a sustained program. 17 In summation the Town of Orleans has been extremely fortunate over the years because of the great interest the busi- ness community has exhibited in the general welfare of the entire town. "Setting the Tone" of business expansion has been more important in the development of the community than planning, zoning and building codes. Competition has forced high character development. That this is so much better than government enforced character is obvious to anyone who drives around our town. In short Orleans is current or ahead, has been for many years and all indications are that it will remain so. It is most significant that Moodys Investors Service, Inc, has just raised the credit status of Orleans from Baa to an A rating. It hardly need be said that the performance of our various Town Departments has been most satisfactory. We extend thanks to the department heads for their dedicated effort. In closing we wish to thank all employees and citizens of the Town for their interest, assistance and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, GASTON L. NORGEOT PAUL P. HENSON, JR. DEAN K. HOWERTON Selectmen of Orleans January 20, 1970 Mrs. Lewellyn Owen, President Orleans Womens Club Orleans, Massachusetts 02653 Dear Mrs. Owen: The Board of Selectmen wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation and that of the citizens of the Town for the fine work being performed in the Town by you and your improvement committee, Mrs. Claude Heaton, Chair- man, and Mrs. H. R. Bein, Mrs. N. B. O'Connell and Mrs. Clifford Crowther, in the establishment of a street numbering system for the Town. This vital work is long overdue and necessary for the orderly development of our community. Rapid identification and location of individual residences for fire and police pro- 18 tection is essential. A street numbering system is a necessary prerequisite for postal delivery. Identification is most con- venient for location of people and properties. A street number- ing system is of great value to the Board of Assessors and will greatly facilitate the duties of the water department and the public utilities operating within our Town. We have examined your system, found it to be exemplary, and gratefully accept it in behalf of the Town. We will have an article in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting to officially adopt your system and we ask that your membership give affirmative support to the action to be taken thereunder. Sincerely, PAUL P. HENSON, 3R. GASTON L. NORGEOT DEAN K. HOWERTON Selectmen of Orleans 19 SALARIES PAID IN 1969 Kathleen Bader Library $2,296.36 George A.

Tucker Bruce Macfarlane The calls during the year were as follows: Full Company calls (Alarms) 11 Still Alarms 56 Investigations & Others 87 Estimated Fire Loss for 1969 $28,000.00 25 We still work towards Fire Prevention as prevention is just as important as fire fighting. Preparedness we must always have, day and night as no home or dwelling is immune to fire. Who knows where or when fire will strike? Constructive drills must be planned and continued monthly during the year. During foul weather we have the facilities and room to hold our drills inside. Spring, summer and fall we drill with our equipment out of doors, pumping exercises and methods of hose laying. The deck gun has been mounted on our new 1000 GPM Mack Pumper. We have drilled many times with this new unit and has proved to us of the great value this will have in the case of a serious fire especially in the business area of town, we now feel we can cope with any emergency with much more confidence. Several new members have recently joined the department as we have a serious problem during the day to have a suit- able number of men to answer the alarms. Nights are no problem as most members are home. During the day the firemen are working at their respective jobs and not always available or do not hear the alarm. To the Officers and men of the Department as well as the Rescue Squad I express my appreciation and thanks to all. I wish to thank all Departments, Selectmen and Citizens of the Town for their cooperation and assistance given to Our Department during the past year. Respectfully submitted, LAWRENCE L. ELLIS, Chief Engineer 26 Report of the Rescue Squad To Lawrence L. Ellis, Chief of the Orleans Fire Department, and to the Orleans Board of Selectmen: I hereby submit my report of the Rescue Squad for the year ending on December 31, 1969. The past year has been a busy one for your Rescue Squad. Rescue calls were on the increase once again. Most noticeable were the rise in auto and home-type accidents. Heart calls stayed about the same, while Miscellaneous calls showed an increase. The following is a breakdown of our calls for the year 1969 with a comparison to 1968. 1969 1968 Automobile Accidents 40 29 Home-Type Accidents 96 55 Heart 22 19 Boat Runs 5 10 Miscellaneous 81 56 Total Calls 257 178 At this time I would like once again to thank the members of the Squad for all their time and effort. They helped to organize and train a Rescue Squad for the Town of Brewster, put on demonstrations and ran First Aid courses. Captain James E. Nichols Squad Leaders Thomas Stewart Belmont P.

NICHOLS, Captain 27 Report of Insect Pest Superintendent To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: An infestation of oak leaf skeletonizer is still evident in a portion of Tonset, lesser in area than previous years though not serious. An insecticide spray harmless to wild- life will be applied at the proper time should control this insect. Nantucket Pine Tip moth infestation is not serious in Orleans, any outbreaks of the slightest infestations were sprayed to keep this pest in check. Japanese beetles are a very troublesome insect if neglected. This insect can be controlled with the proper chemical. Japan- ese beetles are easy to identify, by their appearances and feeding habits. There has been no noticeable increase of gypsy moths, in fact one would have quite a search to find one egg mass of gypsy moths, this is due to precautions taken to prevent any increase or outbreak. Dutch elm disease remains the same, we are keeping the loss of elms at a small rate. Spraying with methoxyclhor and a systemic chemical twice during the dormant period. To date nothing has been found to cure Dutch Elm Disease. Most arborists and tree wardens follow closely recom- mendations issued by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture that are tested and proven to be reliable cures. This department has not used any D.D.T. or any other hard insecticides for the last three years. Being advised by our association and trade publications of the dangers of too much D.D.T. etc. We can also use other equally as good non- toxic insecticides. Our spraying equipment is in good condition, never abused and always dismantled for the winter months. Wear- ing parts are replaced every spring. With approximately 400 ft. of hose it can also serve other phases of tree care such as liquid root and foliar feeding, and chemotherapeutic treatment of trees disorders. 28 Your Insect Pest Superintendent is happy to report that all insects under his jurisdiction are kept at a minimum by thorough spraying at the proper time with the proper chemical. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER Insect Pest Superintendent Highway Department To the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of the Highway Department for the year 1969. One of the first projects of the Highway Department was the widening of Main Street in front of H. H. Snow's store. Over Thirty Five Hundred feet of drainage pipe was laid on the following roads: Finlay Road, Mill Pond Road, Champlain Road, Cedar Lane Road, Locust Road and Barley Neck Road. Barley Neck Road was resurfaced, loamed and seeded, also Monument, Mill Pond, Champlain and Finlay Roads. Under the seal coating program the following roads were treated: Portanimicut, Namequoit and part of Quanset Roads. The sign machine voted at last Town Meeting is greatly appreciated as many of our street signs disappear during the summer months and with this machine can be replaced the next day. I wish to thank all Town Officials and Citizens who helped the Highway Department during 1969. Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK G. MAYO Surveyor of Highways 29 Report of the Water Commissioners The Water Commissioners held 16 regular meetings and one executive meeting during 1969 and, in their eighth annual report, record 106 new installations for the year, bringing to 1700 the number of water services installed since the estab- lishment of the Department. More than three miles of new water mains were laid in 1969 for a total of over fifty-three miles. In addition 13,058 feet of service pipe and 29 new hydrants were installed during the year, giving the system a total of 413 hydrants. The pumping stations produced 130,552,510 gallons of water with August, 22,034,330 gallons — accounting for the largest monthly consumption. Since July 1, 1963, the Department has issued water bills totaling $339,014.33. Total billing for 1969 for metered usage was $71,031.18, up $7,578.90 from the 1968 figure. In addition $199.88 was billed for additional water usage. The grand total for 1969 was $71,231.06. 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 almost total coopera- tion with our difficulties in 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, HERBERT F. WILCOX, Chairman ROGER F. SMITH RAYMOND E. NEWTON, Clerk 30 Orleans Recreation Commission Report Because the mood of the Nation is becoming more recre- ation minded and Cape Cod is a popular Summer playground for the Nation, the role of the Orleans Recreation Commission continues to grow in responsibility and importance. Swimming, the program that is most able to take advantage of our most precious natural resource, is the one that Commission members find most popular, as far as enrollment is concerned. Three (3) directors are necessary to carry on morning and afternoon classes at Pilgrim Lake and Crystal Lake, and there is now a popular demand to conduct salt water in- struction at Meeting House Pond. Tennis, instruction, both at the youth and adult levels, has become one of the more populated courses. For the first time, the Boys' Recreation program was conducted solely at Eldredge Park, which left the Elementary School facilities available to the Girls' Recreation program, which in its neophyte stage had led a peripatetic existence. This development proved highly successful for both programs. The Commission's exer expanding Little League program will, according to all projections, need to use the Elementary School Field this year to accommodate the total of eight (8) teams, which will be too many for the one Little League field next to the Town Office Building. Like all energetic entities, striving to keep abreast with the ever changing needs and progress of a burgeoning field, the Commission is not without growing pains. Once again this year the Commission will attempt to inaugurate a Teener League Team, in an effort to fill in the baseball gap that currently exists for the sixteen to nineteen year old boys. Another area which has met with some opposition is the minor repair and alterations to the Elementary School basket- ball court to enable Orleans to compete equitably in another popular program, three man basketball. Neighboring Towns have the program, but although Orleans has fielded and instructed teams, they cannot play in Orleans because of the condition 31 of the court and the lack of lights, as the games are played in the evening after other programs are concluded.

The boat docks and ramps are being used to the fullest. The new Patrol Boat has been a great help in patrolling the waters of Orleans and assisting boat owners. In the short time that it was in service, five boats were towed to docks, three that had capsized and the rescue of three persons from one of them. Many boats are reported missing or stolen. If owners would put their names and addresses inside their boats before putting them in the water it would help in locating and return- ing them, Owners who want to moor their boats in the same area each year are asked to contact the Harbor Master in the Spring. Due to the increased demand for moorings, permanent arrangements will have to be considered. This year was a good year for little necks in Big Pleasant Bay, the River and Town Cove areas. Owing to a mild Winter they got off to a good growing start and held up all season. Soft shell clams were in abundance in all areas. Concentra- tion was heaviest at the Skaket Beach and Rock Harbor areas, making a good season for family permits and commercial clammers. There is a good set of seed clams in the Town Cove and Pochet areas. Eels were plentiful and the fishermen were doing well until the bottom fell out of the market. Scallops got off to a good start and held up very well until the ice came in January. I hope it will continue when the ice leaves the areas. Respectfully submitted, WARREN E.

Board of Selectmen Town of Orleans, Massachusetts Gentlemen: We are very pleased to announce that we took delivery of our new ambulance in the late Spring of 1969. It is a fine vehicle and is equipped with the best to serve the needs of the area's residents. The purchase of the new ambulance was made possible through the generous donations of our many friends. During the past several years the need for our services has increased year after year and 1969 was no exception. Below is a comparison of 1969 trips versus 1968. These figures reflect the increase. town 1968 1969 Total Patients 348 405 Brewster 58 80 Orleans 147 169 Eastham 78 63 Other 65 80 Total Trips 346 392 Those patients represented as "other" represent summer guests and originated in the town served. A few trips were courtesy runs for neighboring towns. We had been in hopes of having a permanent garage to house the ambulance but with the increasing cost of land this has been delayed. We are building up a fund for this purpose.

LIVINGSTON, President WARRENTON A, WILLIAMS, Clerk-Treasurer REPORT OF THE BATH HOUSE NEEDS COMNUTTEE AND THE BATH HOUSE BUILDING COMNUTTEE To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Orleans: This Committee is now prepared to submit to the Town, a plan of action which it feels will adequately, but not extravagantly, answer the Bath House needs of the Town beaches. This plan includes a major addition to the present Nauset Beach toilet building; removal of the present Nauset Beach Administration Building to Skaket; and removal of the present Skaket building to Pilgrim Lake. Your Committee has made an extensive study of the many possible sites and types of buildings for a public toilet facility in, or near, the center of Town. The Committee has decided to recommend a masonry-walled, frame roofed, building, with units on each side and a supply/storage area between, as the most satisfactory building. We recommend a location between Old Colony Way, and the Railroad Layout on land presently owned by the Town. Respectfully submitted, TRUMAN HENSON, Chairman 38 Report of Tree Warden To the Citizens of Orleans: Additional young flowering trees were planted along our roads during 1969. In later years these will develop into fine ornamental trees. We are trying to plant a variety of fine flowering trees free from any known insect infestation or diseases. Also trees that are acclimated to Orleans weather. I believe the Orleans Board of Trade is sponsoring another article of $600.00 again this year for the town meeting voters to act upon. This is a very excellent tree planting program. Liquid plant foods are sometimes used with an insecticide on trees in a restricted area (having no soft ground surface for roots) and for newly planted trees to encourage root growth. Weak trees also respond to nourishing liquid fertilizer through root applications and foliage feeding, improving the appearance and condition of the trees and in most cases enables the trees to withstand better future attacks by parasites. Any dangerous limbs of branches along roadsides were removed. The weakened parts of trees would continue to such an extent that it would be dangerous to road traffic. Roadside clearing of interfering trees and brush is being done as time and budget will allow. The most necessary spots are are corrected first, step by step, as a traffic safety precaution. All mechanical and other injuries to trees are corrected. We have no major tree problems. Any construction problems your Tree Warden is there supervising the work. Respectfully submitted, EMILE A. OLLIVIER Tree Warden 39 Report of the Personnel Board To the Board of Selectmen Orleans, Massachusetts: Gentlemen: The Personnel Board conducted regular monthly meetings throughout the year, held three special meetings and one public hearing in connection with proposed amendments to the Personnel By-Law at the Annual Town Meeting. Prior to the Annual Town Meeting, the Board met with the Selectmen and concurred in the proposed five percent cost of living increase to all Town Employees under the Personnel By-Law. This was approved by the Town Meeting without dissent. The Town Meeting on March 10, 1969 also approved amendments to the By-Law proposed by the Board placing P-5 Reserve Patrolmen on a three step pay scale instead of one fixed rate and established the hourly pay at $2.30 Min., $2.40 for Step II and $2.50 for Step III. The Inspection fee was corrected to $5.00 per inspection by the Wire Inspector. The Board has observed with concern the steady increase of the cost of living during 1969 and met on several occasions with the Selectmen and others to discuss probable changes for 1970. It was decided by the Board that a new compensation schedule for insertion in the Town By-Law should be prepared for 1970, embodying the 1969 five percent cost of living increase and such further increase as might be decided upon upon as appropriate for t970; and at the same time make certain other changes in positions and paragraph wording. Meetings were held during the Fall with Heads of Departments and others concerned with these matters. In December, the Board received from the Moderator the nomination of F. Cliff Pearce to membership, replacing Richard F. F. Nichols whose term had expired. Respectfully submitted, WALTER A. GUILD, Secretary Orleans Personnel Board 40 REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens of Orleans: I hereby submit my report of the activities in the Building Department for the Year of 1969.

Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH ROGERS, JR. Building Inspector 41 Report of the Park Commission To the Honorable Board of Park Commissioners: I herewith submit the Annual Report of the Park Department for the year of 1969. This was the second largest year in both attendance and receipts that this Department has ever experienced, in Park and Beach areas. Income from Nauset Beach as follows: Parking and surf tickets, parking stickers $35,851.00; Concession $2,000.00; Telephone commission $139.46; Skaket Beach concession $600.00; for a total of $38,590.46. Beach Buggies checked through during the season 6,693 vehicles, an average of about 60 vehicles per day. This coming year the Beach Buggies will be checked from May 29th to October 13th, all vehicles coming off or going on the beach will be inspected at the Booth, also a full time Patrol will be maintained during the official season. Permits will be required for a whole year instead of seasonal. A special article will be presented at Town Meeting this year, 1970, to try to correct the facilities that are badly needed at Nauset Beach, Pilgrim Lake and Skaket Beach. These will conform with the new State Sanitary Code Laws. We are trying to improve and beautify areas to the best of our ability, this year it is hoped that the Head-Stones in the East Orleans Cemetery will be repaired; any help or suggestions from Citizens will be greatly appreciated. Respectfully submitted, CLARENCE L. VANASSE, Superintendent G!a Annual Report of the Barnstable County Health Department To the Board of Selectmen Town of Orleans, Mass. Gentlemen: I am pleased to submit this annual report of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1969. On August 20, 1969, Rubella (German Measles) vaccine was made available by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Rubella is usually a mild disease. It assumes tremendous importance when a pregnant woman contracts the disease during the first trimester of pregnancy because of the possibility of congenital defects in the newborn. Thus, the most important objective of a Rubella Control Program is the prevention of maternal rubella. This can best be accomplished at the present time by reducing the reservoir of rubella virus in the community through the immunization of children. Children, particularly in the early grades of school, are the biggest source of infection to mothers who are still susceptible. They are also the major source of transmission of the disease in the community. The objective of the 1969-1970 school year is to immunize both boys and girls, kindergarten through grade three with plans to eventually include children one year through junior high school age. The increased needs for all kinds of services, the continued rise in costs creating competition for the tax dollar and the need to improve the use of the available professionally prepared human resources demands that all provider agencies must cooperate in planning for and in the delivery of the needed health services for every citizen in Barnstable County. We see the present reorganization process of the Massachu- setts Department of Public Health and the State Compre- hensive Health Planning Program for Massachusetts as two important steps in helping the local health agencies in reaching this goal. The `Barnstable" area provider and consumer repre- sentatives have just begun their planning for a study of our health needs and of the best systems to provide the services to take care of the confirmed health needs of all citizens. If the Barnstable County citizens become determined to meet the challenge of "promoting and assuring the highest 43 level of health attainable for every person" the "Partnership for Health Act of 1966" can become a reality. The second nurse position was filled late this year. This will provide additional qualified public health nursing super- vision to the staff of seven home health agencies; consultation to Boards of Health, school health nursing personnel and Home Health Agencies that have qualified nurse supervision. Dental Health The program emphasis is continued health education, con- sultation to the community and school programs, with direct service limited to headstart and pre-school age groups. A high- light of this year was the participation in a research project with the Barnstable School System, Forsyth Dental Center and Massachusetts Department of Public Health studying the fluoride content in children's teeth. Dental caries continues to be a top public health problem. There is a safe preventive measure, and legislation available. All that is needed is positive community action. Environmental Sanitation The surveillance program of all public service facilities continues to expand annually. More time has been used in water pollution control in cooperation with the Boards of Health, Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Massachusetts Department of Natural Resources. We recommend the board of health request the town planning board to have the plot include the contour levels and a determination of the ground water table. This would limit problems created by the sewage disposal and protect the water supplies. Nursing Service The number of public health nurses employed in Barn- stable County continues to rise: The year and number employed 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 33 43 51 52 55 Of the number employed in 1969, nine are employed in a generalized nursing service, 15 in home visiting only, 21 in schools, 3 in headstart and 7 as consultant-directors, executive director and/or supervisor. Of the total of 55; 15 are prepared '+4 public health nurses. Eight were newly employed and needed orientation. Services provided had more emphasis on direct super- vision of nurses employed by towns and schools; all town nurses are now using one of the standard methods of keeping patient-care records, keeping a daily and monthly statistical record of kinds of cases and kind of care given, age distribution and type of payment made. Analysis and evaluation of data will be done. Some proposed plans for the coming year are: 1. Strengthening the maternal and child health services by in-service education programs and individual direction. 2. Developing more meaningful service by the public health nurse as a part of the State Crippled Children's program. 3. Participating in the development of policies for school health programs through committee involvement. 4. Strengthening the role of the professional advisory committees: for example, policy and programs develop- ed for Home Health Agencies, Cape Cod Community College Health Service and Headstart health services. S. Study and evaluation of supervision provided to nurses; review of all nursing activities related to the purpose of improvement of nursing service in Barnstable County. Social Service The medical social worker has completed the first full year in this new position to the County. She serves as consultant to all members of the health department staff, Board of Health, community and school nurses, local physicians, hospital and nursing home professional personnel, and all public and private agencies. An important phase of the program has been to establish a workable referral program, providing proper use of resources and resulting in better services to the people in this area. 45 Personnel of the department as of December 31, 1969 Mary Susich, R.N., B.S., M.P.H., County Health Officer Ruth J.

During the year we completed various steps in connection with the acquisition of the Snow property of 1.3 acres on Pilgrim Lake just east of the Town beach that resulted in the Town recovering from the State $8,750 or 50% of the purchase price of that land. We have completed negotiations for the acquisition of an additional parcel of land adjacent to and west of the Town beach property and another parcel adjacent and north of the beach property. These two parcels total 3.79 acres of land well suited to conservation purposes. The cost of these two parcels of land will be $12,000 and subject to the State's Self Help Program; 50%, or $6,000 will be recovered making the final cost to the Town $6,000. Town Meeting approval to acquire this land will be required. The year has been one of frustration because a few property owners and contractors have damaged some salt marsh and inland wetland areas without observing the applic- able legal requirements and controls of the Hatch Act and the Jones Law. The preservation and protection of the Town's marshlands and wetlands should and must be a high priority matter. We were disappointed at being unsuccessful in finding two young men in Orleans between 14 and 17 years of age interested in attending the Massachusetts Junior Conservation Camp for two weeks at no expense to them, The general soil plan map of the Town has been com- pleted and together with several interpretive maps and a manual were delivered to the Town on January 7th. Repre- sentatives of the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service explained their uses. There are ten copies. They will be of great value to the Conservation Commission and several other boards and departments of the Town. 47 Pollution and its destructive aspects is of great concern to us. As our shorelines become more and more occupied with houses, the threat of pollution increases. Also, the increasing surface water runoff carries road salts and other forms of contamination. into our town waters. Great care on the part of officials and property owners will be necessary to prevent damaging pollution. MALCOLM M. DICKINSON, Chairman Annual Report of Veterans' Agent To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: There have been numerous changes in laws and adminis- trative regulations of the federal government and of the Com- monwealth in this past year. In most cases these have resulted in increased Veterans' Benefits. They have also resulted in increased paper work. In light of the increasing number of young Vietnam veterans who are interested in a GI mortgage guarantee for a home of their own, we would advise such veterans to obtain two very useful pamphlets from the V. A. The address is: Veterans Administration, John F. Kennedy Federal Building, Government Center, Boston, 02203. The pamphlets are: "Ques- tions & Answers on Guaranteed and Direct Loans for Veterans, VA Pamphlet 264" and "Pointers for the Veteran Homeowner, VA Pamphlet 26-5". Respectfully submitted, FRANCIS P. BURLING, Veterans' Agent 48 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 1969. The year 1969 had one Town Election. The total registration at the end of 1969 was 2,157. There were 1,227 Republicans, 169 Democrats, and 761 Independents. There were 127 names removed from the Voting List, for cause, as required by law. There were 114 new voters registered. This resulted in a net loss of 18 voters in 1969. As required by law, the Board of Registrars are charged with the conducting of the annual Street Listing of all residents 20 years of age and older. The count in this age group as of 1 January 1969, was 2,627 residents. Listing of Dogs and their owners was conducted at the same time for the Board of Assessors. There were 417 dogs declared by residents. Respectfully submitted, LEO H. CUMMINGS, Chairman HELENE B. FINN IRENE M.

DOBEY, Clerk 1970 CHARLES KOEHLER 1972 CHARLES E. SOUTHWORTH, JR. 1972 ANN FETTIG 1972 HERNALDO R. KELLY 1971 LEO H. CUMMINGS 1971 52 Report of the Housing Committee In accordance with the town vote at the annual meeting to establish an Orleans Housing Authority four members were appointed by the Selectmen for a term of one year: Mrs. Alberta M. deRonge, Donald B. Foresman, Daniel E. Hegarty and Stuart E. Hockenbury. The fifth member, Philip A. Deschamps, was appointed by the Governor for a three year term. The Authority was established to construct apartments for people 65 years and over of low income ($3,000.00 a year for couples and $2,500.00 a year for individuals). Construction or modernization of homes for other low income families is also within the scope of the Authority. An organization meeting was held with a State represent- ative on May 12, 1969 at which the following officers were elected: Donald B. Foresman, chairman; Stuart E. Hockenbury, co-chairman; Daniel E. Hegarty, treasurer; Philip A. Deschamps, assistant treasurer, and Alberta M. deRonge, secretary. The Authority immediately began a search for land as a site acceptable to the Authority and the Department of Community Affairs of the Commonwealth which is necessary in order to have the Authority application approved. A site of approximately 51/4 acres at the end of Namskaket Road and an alternate of approximately 7 acres off Rock Harbor Road were submitted. On October 24, 1969 the Department of Community Affairs gave tentative approval to approximately 2 of the 51/a acres requested off of Namskaket Road. After a meeting in Boston to discuss the need for a larger site it was found that the policy limiting the distance of the housing site to a main shopping center to about 1/2 mile had been relaxed because of rising land and con- struction costs. At the suggestion of the Selectmen, the Orleans Housing Authority considered the use of part of the land in the so-called "Infirmary Lot' on Hopkins Lane owned by the Town in place of the Namskaket Road location. Subsequently the use of 6 and 2/s of approximately 29 acres of the "Infirmary Lot' was voted by the Authority and approved by the Development of Community Affairs, subject to the approval of the voters of Orleans. 53 At a special town meeting on December 16, 1969 the gift of approximately 6 and 2/3 acres of the "Infirmary Lot" to the Orleans Housing Authority was approved by a vote of 151 to 6. As this report is written, start of the construction of the apartments is dependent upon permission of the Board of Appeals at a hearing on February 4, 1970 and a vote by the Massachusetts legislature to increase the note ceiling by which all such apartments are financed, by 50 million dollars. The vote of the legislature is considered routine as the bill was passed in 1969 but must be reconsidered due to a re-codification of the laws pertaining to public housing. It is the hope of the Authority that money for the project will be available early in the Spring of 1970. The Authority will recommend construction of one story buildings of Cape Cod architecture with facilities for from 40 to 50 units, each consisting of bed-room, living- room, kitchenette and bath.

DESCHAMPS Town Clerk 55 Report of the Director of Civil Defense To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Orleans, Massachusetts Gentlemen: In the past year a considerable amount of concentration and effort has been exerted towards efforts to establish fallout shelters in local areas that are deficient in this vital facility. Also in the past year the United States Air Force has discontinued all field hospitals, including the one that was previously located in the Orleans Town Hall basement. All hurricane and severe inclement weather conditions have faithfully and carefully been attended in the past, and will continue to be watched by your Director. With the above information, I am in hopes that the Board is aware of our present shelter status. Respectfully submitted, ERNEST C. BORSO, Civil Defense Director 56 Report of the Board of Health With the inception of a new contract for the management of the Town Disposal Area it was decided that there should be an attendant during regular hours. This was put into effect and as a consequence conditions greatly improved. None the less, it is the opinion of the Board that the disposal area should be operated as a sanitary land fill. Open burning at the area is contributing substantially to air pollution as well as being a nuisance to large areas of the Town. There is good reason to believe that this year will see a prohibition of open burning by the State Board of Health. For those reasons we again are making a recommendation for a sanitary land fill and request- ing an appropriation to put this into effect. There were several violations of Board of Health reg- ulations which were investigated and acted upon when action was required. In this respect we acknowledge the invaluable services of Richard H. Sturtevant, the County Public Health Sanitarian, as well as other County Health Officers. During the year we were so unfortunate as to lose Mrs. Marion I. Chace, our Public Health Nurse Supervisor, who retired after nineteen years of exemplary service. Her dedication to duty and kind attention to her patients will be long remem- bered by many. We were fortunate to obtain Mrs. Ann L. Phillips as our new Public Health Nurse Supervisor who is continuing with the same high standards set by Mrs. Chace. We are also fortunate to have obtained the services of Elizabeth W. Price as Secretary to the Public Health Department to replace Mrs. Hildegarde S. Watkins and then Mrs. Frances E. Osgood whom we lost by resignation. Respectfully submitted DEAN K. HOWERTON, Chairman GASTON L. NORGEOT PAUL P. HENSON, JR. Board of Health 57 Orleans Planning Board Report To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Orleans, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Planning Board held 23 regular and 2 special meetings during the course of the year. Hearings were held, 10 sub- divisions were approved, resulting in 107 lots. One of the topics discussed during the year was possible need in the Town of the services of a registered engineer. To implement and ensure enforcement of road specifications and other regulations included in the Board's responsibility, it is necessary that the services of such a professional person be available. Subdivision regulations were revised during the year with the principal change being the requirement of water mains in new subdivisions where Town water is reasonably available. A word of caution is in order for those who would make our zoning control laws overly restrictive for purely aesthetic reasons. If persons of modest income are to have a greater opportunity•to live and own property in the town in which they work, thus tending to develop a balanced community, then there is need for smaller lot requirements in some areas of the Town. It is also desirable to create areas with larger lot size requirements. Such revision would follow our Master Plan. Respectfully submitted, ELEANOR G. LUND, Chairman 58 Report of Snow Library Snow Library's 1969 vital statistics reflect Orleans' growing importance as a regional shopping and business center, not merely as a resort, with the great seasonal contrasts that that description implies: Circulation was up 20% over 1968 for a total of 40,506. The annual report of five years ago pointed out that "the summer time circulation more than doubles", but in 1969 the increase for July and August was only 10% more than in 1968, while the increase for the rest of the year was 25%: Overall circulation has increased 607o over the past five years, con- siderably greater than any estimate of population growth. In October the trustees added ten additional hours of library service. The new total of 33 hours weekly includes four evenings, three mornings and five afternoons. A new librarian, Mrs. Kathleen D. Bader, was appointed in September to fill that vacant position, and Mrs. Maude L. Peers and Mrs. Doris Nickerson continued their invaluable assistance. Stereo and monaural records were added to Snow Library's collection in 1969, and a healthy total of almost 800, were circulated. The inter-library loan program, which makes the re- sources of the Falmouth and Boston Public Libraries available to Orleans residents, was enthusiastically used by many patrons who borrowed nearly 200 books. The Friends of Snow Library assisted in numerous ways, including generous funds for children's books, the Cape Cod collection, sightsaver (large print) books, and material for draperies. They also donated $200 for enlarged prints from the H. K. Cummings historical collection of Orleans landmarks and personalities. The rotating display of these prints proved extremely popular. The Friends appropriated up to $1,000 for a study to determine ways of utilizing the library basement for an expanded program of activities. Q The trustees, aware of the desire of community groups for meeting space and the need for expansion of library services, such as an audio-visual room, have been exploring the possi- bility of using the basement for these purposes. A study with suggestions for accomplishing the desired goals will be available later this year. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD F. O'BRIEN Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Snow Library 1161N .: r -1 I Report of Advertising Through Information Booth This was my first year at the Information Booth on a daily schedule, having worked on Sundays previously. This pointed up how important this service is to the traveling public and local businesses. Inasmuch as our economy is based on the tourist, each one of us becomes aware of our town and its historical, social and scenic points through the tourists' eyes and improves these when possible. It is well to remember that a high percentage of our present population came here as summer tourists. It is regrettable that more townspeople and organizations do not use this service by giving notices of their events, suppers, fairs and socials; also jobs available, rooms, cottages etc. Vacationers are greatly interested in all local affairs. Orleans lost a loyal and enthusiastic worker with the unexpected death of Ruth G. Finlay. The Information Booth was always on her mind, even when hospitalized and later when she returned home, giving suggestions and ideas for better service at the Booth. Fortunately we prevailed upon Grace C. Mayo to return as an aide and the summer went smoothly though hectic at times. Statistics show the Booth was open 117 days, beginning May 23rd for weekends; June 15th through September 14th daily; weekends to October 13th. There were 12,000 requests made servicing approximately 50,000 people. July and August averaged over 4000 questions. Due to the many inquiries about dune buggy rides, it is hoped that this program could be activated in 1970. The Garden Clubs would be doing a great service if they would take over the care of the windowboxes and plantings at the Booth. Respectfully submitted LUCY K.

Said petitioning Town shall cease to be a member Town if the proposed amendment is approved by the Committee and accepted by the petitioning Town and each of the other member Towns, acceptance by the petitioning Town and by the other member Towns to be by majority vote at an annual or special Town Meeting. c. Money received by the district from the withdrawing Town for payment of funded indebtedness or interest thereon shall be used for this purpose only, and until so used shall be deposited in trust in the name of the district with a bank or trust company having its principal office in Massachusetts having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $5,000,000. d.

Amendments. This agreement may be amended from time to time in the manner hereinafter provided, but no such amendment shall be made which shall substantially impair the rights of the holders of any bonds or notes or other indebtedness of the district then outstanding, or the rights of the district to procure the means for payment thereof, provided that nothing in this section shall prevent the admission of a new Town or Towns to the district and the reapportionment accordingly of capital costs of the district represented by bonds or notes of the district then outstanding and of interest thereon. A proposal for amendment may be initiated by a signed petition bearing the signatures of 10 per cent of the registered voters of any one of the member Towns or by a majority of all the members of the regional district school committee. Any such proposal for amendment shall be presented to the secretary of the Committee who shall mail or deliver a notice in writing to the Board of Selectmen of each of the member Towns that a proposal to amend this agreement has been received and shall enclose a copy of such proposal (without the signatures in the case of a pro- posal by petition). The Selectmen in each member Town shall include in the warrant for the next annual or a special Town Meeting called for the purpose, an article stating the proposal or the substance thereof. Such amendment shall take effect upon its acceptance by each member Town, in the manner hereinabove provided. SECTION IX. A. Continuation of Payment for Orleans High School. In 1959 the Orleans High School, valued at $240,000. was conveyed to the district. Upon the admission of Brewster to the district, the Orleans High School will in effect be owned 41% (about $98,400) by Orleans, 11% (about $40,800) by Brewster and 21% each (about $50,400) by Eastham and Wellfleet. As of September 1, 1968, the Towns of Eastham and Wellfleed had each paid $30,000 to the district (which has been paid over to the Town of Orleans). The Town of Brewster shall pay its 17% share and the Towns of Eastham and Well- fleet shall each pay the portion of its 21% share still due in 11 equal installments of $3,710 each in the case of Brewster and $7,855 each in the cases of Eastham and Wellfleet payable to the district on April 1, 1969 through 1979. 68 The amounts payable on April 1, 1969 shall be appropriated by the Towns of Brewster, Eastham, and Wellfleet at their 1969 annual Town Meeting or at a special Town Meeting called for the purpose. Thereafter and so long as such payments are due, the Committee shall annually assess the Towns of Brewster, Eastham and Wellfleet therefor prior to the preceding Decem- ber 31, and at their next annual Town Meetings the said Towns shall appropriate the amounts so assessed. The respective town treasurers shall pay to the regional school district treasurer the amounts appropriated under the foregoing provisions and the said regional school district treasurer shall thereupon pay the said amounts to the treasurer of the Town of Orleans. SECTION IX. B. Payment for 1958 Addition. In 1958, $1,600,000 3.10% bonds of the district were issued to finance the addition to the district high school. As of August 1, 1969, $1,188,000 principal and interest will have been paid by the district, of which $925,310 (the balance after crediting certain grants from the Commonwealth) has been assessed 50% on Orleans and 25% each on Eastham and Wellfleet. In order to reimburse such towns for the 17% interest in the 1958 addition to the district high school to be acquired by Brewster upon its admission to the district, Brewster shall pay the district $157,300 in forty equal installments of $3,932.50 each payable April 1, 1969 and June 1, September 1, December 1, and April 1 there- after through December 1, 1978. The amounts payable in 1969 shall be appropriated by the Town of Brewster at its 1969 annual town meeting or at a special town meeting called for the purpose. Thereafter and so long as such payments are due, the Committee shall annually assess the Town of Brewster therefor prior to the preceding December 31, and at its next annual town meeting the town shall appropriate the amount: so assessed. The town treasurer shall pay to the regional school district treasurer the amount appropriated under the foregoing provisions and the district treasurer shall there- upon pay said amount 50% to the Treasurer of Orleans, 25% to the Treasurer of Eastham and 25% to the Treasurer of Wellfleet. SECTION X. Budget. The Committee shall determine the amounts necessary to be raised to maintain and operate the regional school during the ensuing calendar year, and the amount required for payment of debt and interest incurred by the District which 69 will be due in said year, and shall prepare a tentative operating budget and submit copies to the Finance or Advisory Committee of each member Town for its consideration on or before November 1st, or if there is no Finance or Advisory Committee in a member Town, to the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen of such Town.

Carlton Nickerson, and seconded, it was voted, voice vote, unanimous but one, and the motion carried: "That the petition submitted by Mr. Earle and others to the Selectmen in connection with Article 7 be included in the record of this Town Meeting." 102 COPY OF PETITION To the Board of Selectmen Orleans, Massachusetts The undersigned residents and taxpayers of the Pleasant Bay and Route 28 neighborhood of South Orleans wish to be recorded as strongly opposed to the taking of land for the purposes stated in Article 7. The reasons for our objection are as follows: 1. We believe the location unsuited to the uses proposed. --- The beach is narrow and inadequate for the ex- tensive use which appears to be contemplated. Because of shallow water, there will be difficulty in launching boats unless a channel is dredged. The back- ing of boat trailers across the very narrow •strip of land between the highway and the beach will involve hazardous interruption of traffic. In our opinion, the development of this shore for a town beach will prove to be an unrealistic and costly enterprise. The town already owns a section of beach just to the north that is more attractive to bathers. 2. The parking place which is proposed for the Cahoons' lot on the West side of Route 28, near the point where the road widens and drivers accelerate after coming over the hill, will cause another serious traffic danger as pedestrians cross the road to and from the beach. In addition, this parking place will be a nuisance and an eyesore to the several persons who live near by, particularly to Miss Emma Rogers, whose land adjoins. Property values throughout this residential neighborhood will suffer. 3. We see this land-taking as a first step toward the destruction of invaluable natural resources in the vicinity. The Salt Marsh, adjacent to the proposed parking lot, is a singularly unspoiled tract of wetland, rich in fish, bird and plant life. We believe it should be protected against pollution from oil pumps, rest rooms, and other accompaniments of development for recreation. The waterfront at South Orleans affords one of the two most notable views on Route 28 between Chatham and Orleans. We believe this place to be important to townspeople and 103 tourists alike. We believe that the changes and installations implicit in the provisions of Article 7 will completely alter the character of the region and that they are therefore in- consistent with the public interest. The petition was signed by One Hundred Five (105) residents and taxpayers, and is on file in the Directory of Misc. Papers and Town Deeds in the Town Clerk's Office. Article 8.

The School enrollment continues an upward trend --- 381 on October 1. Your School Committee was faced with a dilemma of an unusual sort last May, when informed that the St. Joan of Arc School was closing. The impact of 37 additional children, on an already "bulging at the seams" building was a problem that took considerable thought. We feel we have arrived at a solution that has actually benefitted the education of Orleans' children. We are a little closer to individualizing instruction for each child. The classrooms which were created to improve the space situation, although far from ideal, are adequate and have possibilities for use after the Middle School becomes a reality. There were several staff changes this past year: Mrs. Katherine Vaughn replaces Mrs. Martha Thompson, in first grade; Mrs. Kathleen Kaye is an additional 2nd Grade teacher; and Mr. Richard Porter, an additional fourth grade teacher. Mr. James Yuetter replaces Mr. Paul White, who found Nauset athletics to be his niche. We have some consideration to give to several imminent decisions: what solution to the Administration Building location; where are we going in Collective Bargaining; and do we want to Regionalize Kindergarten, through twelfth grade, as the Commonwealth is recommending? These are serious policy decisions that have far-reaching implications for the future of education of Orleans' children. We are doing our best to study them, weigh alternatives and come up with the ultimately best solutions. Respectfully submitted, ELIZABETH HENSON, Chairman 112 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CLINIC — 1%9 The routine phases of the School Health Program under the Regulations and Recommendations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health are: 1. Vision, hearing, weighing and measuring for all students annually. 2. Health appraisals by a doctor on all pre-school and fourth-grade students, plus on all new admissions. 3. Registration of pre-school children for health records. 4. Dental screening at designated grade levels. 5. Conferences with parents and teachers regarding health problems. This year our school enrollment was 381. In addition to the above phase of the program, much of my time was spent admin- istering to: First Aid Cases 1003 Office Visits (other than First Aid) 291 Medical Attention needed for 17 Sent Home Ill 105 Conferences — in person 220 Conferences — via phone 215 Immunization Clinics: Measles 5 Mumps (incomplete at time of report) 16 T.B. adult 6 T-B. children 7 Rubella 171 Diptheria/tetanus 38 Movies 12 Meetings 10 Classes attended 4 This year's health program was accelerated by Dr. Whitelaw with the addition of two new clinics. The Rubella Vaccine to help eradicate German Measles was offered to 113 children in Grades Kindergarten - 3. The Mumps Vaccine was offered to children in Grades 4 - 6. The participation of the children and the co-operation of the parents were excellent in both clinics. Respectfully submitted, ROSE P. WILLETT, R.N.

At that time the entire District was frustrated by indecision. This problem no longer exists. The entire staff, administrative unit, and School Committees now look forward to making concrete plans toward incorporating all the ramifications of the 444- system. In 1969, 1 reported that we should add: Classes for the emotionally disturbed Classes for the perceptually handicapped More individualized instruction Small group instruction Large group instruction Remedial Speech classes More remedial reading classes A class for the mentally retarded for Elementary level and held in an elementary school More comprehensive programs in the area of Electronics and Industrial Arts. I am happy to report that we have moved forward with plans to solve these problems by: 1. Making plans to provide space for the emotionally and perceptually handicapped if we can acquire the former Wellfleet .lob Corps Site. 2. All elementary schools have moved in the direction of more individualized instruction. The High School has pursued an innovated change particularly in their English program offerings by providing specialized courses of shorter duration which appear to be more meaningful to the individual student. 3. This year for the first time, we have been able to provide some remedial speech instruction by specialists and have budgeted a full time specialist in this area for 1970. 118 4. The Union has accepted the responsibility of full time employment of two reading teachers and in 1970 their efforts will be concentrated on the K-4 level in a program designed to attack reading problems before they become serious. S. Arrangements are now under way whereby we may move the special class for the mentally handicapped into an elementary building. 6. Since the last report, we have built a reasonably adequate Electronics Lab. The interest in this area has mushroomed and a comprehensive program in Electricity/Electronics is a reality. Let's Look To The Future Of course, we must put some efforts into supervising the completion of the various approved building programs, but our concentration now must be redirected to programs and curri- culum revision. Our 1970 budget provides the opportunity to employ a Middle School Principal as early as September, 1970. The entire school year of 1970-71 will therefore see the entire administrative staff, along with a number of teachers on the curriculum committees, concentrating their efforts on: 1. Reviewing the entire program K- 12 and making whatever recommendations necessary to have viable K-4 elementary units, middle school and a four- year high school program. 2. Establish procedures to bring teachers who have long been associated and therefore oriented to a high school program together with teachers in grades 5 and 6 who have long been associated with early childhood education into a new unit (the Middle School) and reorient their habits to a new educational unit. Decision Needed On Regionalization The voters of these four Towns are to be highly com- plimented for having the foresight to approve the 4-4-4- system and the building programs necessary to implement this. The only major problem now not solved is the approval to establish a single administrative unit to supervise the educational program, 119 K- 12. In the long run, this has been the most serious problem causing the greatest frustration, duplication of effort, and duplication of expense. I strongly recommend that the question of K- 12 Regionalization be presented to the Towns and that the voters research carefully the advantages and disadvantages. Approval of this program will bring these Towns more closely together to unify school committee policies, supervision, and direction.

Once again, you have conclusively demonstrated that education is a high priority. You have excellent teachers and administrators in your various schools and I urge you to contact teachers, guidance personnel, and particularly Principals whenever a problem arises or whenever you wish answers to any questions. School Committee meetings are held bi-monthly and I urge parents to attend these meetings, ask questions, and inform us of your wishes whenever appropriate. Respectfully submitted, PAUL N.

COWEN Collector In the following pages of the 1969 ORLEANS TOWN REPORTS . . . there are included -- 1. The 1970 Finance Committee Report. 2. 1970 Departmental Budgets, with: A. 1968 and 1969 Expenditures B. 1970 Requested Budgets C. Finance Committee Recommendations on 1970 Budget Requests 3, The 1970 Town Warrant 4. Finance Committee Recommendations on Articles of the Warrant. Orleans Finance Committee To the Voters of the Town of Orleans: A minimum tax increase of $4.50 is forecast for Orleans this year by the Finance Committee. The figure is based on the assumption that the tax base- valuation of the Town will increase to $52 million and that the voters will follow the recommendations of the Finance Committee. Only strict observance of Finance Committee recommendations will .prevent a higher increase, which if all requests are voted favorable is predicted to he $7.75. The Town is fortunate this year in having Available Funds totalling $198,728.00, a portion of which will be used to help keep the tax rate within the forecast figure. On recommenda- tion of the Finance Committee, Selectmen have agreed to propose that $125,000 of these funds be applied to reduce the tax rate. Without use of these funds, the minimum increase that could be expected would be $6.90. Some $36,000 of the Available Funds are committed to projects such as Chapter 90 work. While these funds will be replaced upon receipt of re- imbursements, sufficient funds must be kept on hand to cover the commitments. The Finance Committee this year faced Departmental budget requests of $1,681,750.64 and other warrant article requests totalling$329,603.82,for total requests of$2,01 1,354.46, a potential increase to the tax rate of $10.00. The Finance Committee has scrutinized all the requests with an eye to economies that will not affect adversely the well-being of the Town. They have recommended Departmental budget items of $1,674,814.47 and other warrant requests of $179,653.82 for a total of $1,854,468.29. This is, however, a $343,694.14 (or 22.8%) increase over 1969 appropriations. As should be expected, following acceptance by voters last February of the building of a new Nauset High School, greatest increase in monies to be raised by taxation comes from the school system. On the basis of last year's total valuation of $49,609,615.00, additional loan costs alone will add $3.40 to the tax rate. Operating cost increases for both the Elementary School and High School assessment total another $109,490.00, more than $2.00 on the tax rate. Department heads have shown utmost co-operation with the Committee and have presented "tight" budgets. In general any Departmental increases are now beyond the power of Department heads, Finance Committee or voters to change, since they involve step increases as outlined by the Personnel By-Law. In some cases provision is made for additional personnel. However, the added employees have been proven to be needed because of the growth of the Town and its business. Increases for Expense and Equipment items show a downward trend from 1969 despite inflationary aspects of the times. During the past year the Finance Committee has concerned itself with the manner in which the Town pays its employees. After several conferences with the Town Treasurer and Select- men, and lengthy investigation, the Committee has recommended that the payroll be modernized by placing it on a computor system. In addition they have recommended that a full time clerk be hired by the Collector-Treasurer to assume some of the additional work necessitated by continuing growth of the Town. Your Finance Committee strongly asks support in their recommendations on the various articles. It is essential in order to prevent a run away tax rate for 1970. The Committee asks voters to consider not whether a project is "good", but rather whether the Town can afford it at this time. ORLEANS FINANCE COMMITTEE C. Francis Richardson, Chairman Kenneth G.
