The Annual Town Meeting at the Hanover High ·school was called to order by George H. Lewald, Moderator at 8:15 P.M. on Monday, March 1, 1971 with 703 voters present. Reverend Robert L. Jones offered the invocation which was followed by a pledge to the flag. The Moderator asked that the Town Clerk record that the warrant had been served and returned as required by the Town By­ Laws. Mr. Edward R. Hammond, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Health moved that a committee consisting of John Thomson, Ralph C. Briggs and R. Irving Lovell be appointed to bring in resolutions on the death of John Henry White. The motion was duly seconded and the committee appointed by unanimous vote. The following resolution was presented and adopted by rising vote. RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF JOHN HENRY WHITE WHEREAS: The Town of Hanover having suffered the loss of one of its most highly respected citizens, · · JOHN HENRY WHITE Born May 15, 1901 Departed January 11, 1971 it is fitting and proper that we, in Town Meeting Assembled, recognize his long and distinguished career as a public servant, and WHEREAS: He served as the Agent of the Board of Health for six years, and WHEREAS: He served thirty-eight years as a firefighter in Engine Company No. I, twenty years of which he served as Deputy Chief, and WHEREAS: He served for eleven years as a member of the Planning Board, and WHEREAS: He served for eight years as a member of the Advisory Board, and WHEREAS: He discharged his duties and responsibilities with great integrity and fidelity, and WHEREAS: The Town of Hanover has lost a loyal citizen, a faithful public servant and a true frien~, now ~erefor~

9 BE IT RESOLVED: That the Citizens of the Town of Hanover in Town Meeting Assembled do hereby publicly express their ap­ preciation of the honorable and faithful service he rendered in their behalf for so many years and that this resolution be incorporated in the Records of the Town Clerk and a copy thereof suitably attested be presented to his family. A true copy attest Signed: John Thomson, Chairman RalphD. Washburn Ralph C. Briggs Town Clerk R. Irving Lovell RESOLUTION COMMITTEE ARTICLE 1. To see if the Town will accept the reports of the officers and committees as printed in the Town Report, or take any other action relative thereto. VOTED: That the reports given be accepted as reports of progress or as indicated. ARTICLE 2. To hear the reports of the Committees and act thereon, or take any other action relative thereto. The following reports were presented: REPORT OF THE TOWN GARAGE BUILDING COMMITTEE This Committee was appointed under the provisions of Article 64 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1970, said committee to bring in plans, specifications and costs for erecting and equipping a pre­ fabricated garage-type building to be used by the Highway Department and the Tree Department, to be located on the present Dump site. This Committee, after being appointed late in the year, met on several occasions to discuss and plan this garage. It is our opinion that a garage eighty (80) feet by one-hundred (100) feet would be required to house the present equipment operated by the Town of Hanover Highway and Tree Departments. This size garage would provide ample space to handle future equipment acquired over the next six or eight years. A garage of this size would cost ap­ proximately $65,000 to $70,000 if built in 1971. The present dump site was the only location which we could consider due to the provisions of Article 64. It now appears that this site is not the most desirable for the construction of a Town Garage due to the following reasons: 1. The uncertain use of this land for the town's disposal area. 2. The outside storage of salt and sand with the resulting drainage of polluted rain water into the Broadway water wells. 3. The unfavorable use of filled land for construction.

10 Due to these unfavorable conditions, we request that this report be accepted as a final report with the recommendation that this Committee be re-established by a future Town Meeting to consider other parcels of town-owned land. Signed: ROBERT L. KIMBALL, Chairman PAUL W. SCHRADER, Clerk FRANKLIN AMES ALBERTM.FARR ALBERT E. HAWKINS, JR. REPORT OF THE LIBRARY ADDITION COMMITTEE The Hanover Library Addition Committee reported to the 1970 Town Meeting that it was ready to make its final report, but had to wait until an audit had been completed by the proper federal authority. The awarding authority has since made a favorable report, the Committee has filed with Massachusetts Department of Library Extension an inventory of equipment purchased for the addition and it has paid all outstanding obligations, leaving over $20,000 of the appropriation to be returned to the town treasury. The Committee wishes to thank former members Sonia Thomas, Charles Adams, Wallace Kemp and George Lewald for their services; and they extend their appreciation to Hanover town offices and departments for their helpful assistance in carrying out this project. The Library Addition Committee has voted to ask the 1971 Hanover Town Meeting to accept this as a final report and to vote to discharge the committee. Respectfully submitted, Signed: PORTER W. THOMPSON, Chairman MRS. SUMNER SAPIRO, Secretary MRS. A. DONALD DELUSE RICHARD DeMARANVILLE FANNY H. PHILLIPS G. AR THUR SMITH BERNARD G. TIRRELL REPORT OF THE TOWN GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE The Town Government Study Committee was appointed pur­ suant to Article 61 of the 1970 Annual Town Meeting. The Committee was appointed " . . . to study the Town Departments and government to determine and report whether a reorganization of the Highway, Cemetery, Water, Playground, and Tree Departments and or other departments should be made and reformed under one department

II of Municipal Services, with such department to be under the direction of the Board of Selectmen who shall employ a Town Engineer to supervise and co-ordinate the activities of this department as well as service other departments ... " During the year, the Committee undertook a survey of the personnel, equipment and activities of the various town depart­ ments. This was accomplished through the circulation of questionnaires among the several departments and by meeting at length with representatives of the principal departments which would be materially affected by any resulting town reorganization. The Committee solicited the views of representatives of the selectmen, th~ advisory committee, the several town departments which might be affected by any reorganization, and the Massachusetts ieague of Cities and Towns. In carrying out the task assigned it under Article 61, the Committee considered the several alternatives available to the Town under the Constitution and General Laws of the Com­ monwealth and the Acts and By-Laws of the Town. These included 1) a Charter Commission to study and recommend changes in the Town's organization (the 1966 Home Rule Constitutional Amend­ ment permits towns to reorganize without special legislation using the Charter Commission procedure) ; 2) a Department of Public Works; 3) an Executive Secretary to the Selectmen; and 4) a Town Engineer. The Committee reached two basic conclusions. First, the Committee unanimously agreed that the several independent town departments responsible for the maintenance of town facilities (excluding the school, fire and police departments) should be consolidated in a single department administered by a full-time supervisor with at least some engineering expertise. Second, it was the unanimous opinion of the Committee that such reorganization should be accomplished through the creation of a Department of Public Works under relatively simple statutory procedures rather than through a revision of the Town's Charter by means of the complicated and extensive Charter Commission procedure.

The General Laws of the Commonwealth permit the Town to establish by ballot vote a Department of Public Works which would combine under a three-man commission and a full-time supervisor the duties of the Highway Surveyors, Tree Warden, Cemetery Commissioners and Water Commissioners. In addition to replacing such elected Town officers, a Department of Public Works could by separate town meeting action be assigned responsibility for refuse disposal, building maintenance, drainage projects, playground maintenance and any other task reasonably related to the basic responsibilities of the Department.

12 J The Town Government Study Committee has placed before the 1971 Town Meeting Article 62 on the Warrant to place the question of ·establishing a Department of Public Works on the ballot for the 1972 Town Meeting. Article 62 is not a vote on the question of establishing a Department of Public Works. It is simply the Town Meeting vote which is a prerequisite to placing before the people in 1972 the question of establishing a Department of Public Works in 1973. The Town Government Study Committee asks that the Town vote in favor of Article 62. The Committee proposes to continue its work during the coming year to study the organizational and operational experience of Departments of Public Works of other communities and to prepare specific recommendations for the 1972 Town Meeting. For this reason, the Committee asks the Town Meeting to accept this as a report of progress. Signed: CARY P. CLARK, Chairman JAMES A. McKENNA, Secretary S. FRANKLIN AMES TURNER W. GILMAN FRANCIS J. MITCHELL REPORT OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE Following the approval of the project at the Annual Meeting of 1970 contracts for construction were awarded to Rocheford Con­ struction Co. of Natick. Work was started in April and the contract calls for completion in December, 1971. As of the first of February construction is approximately 43 per cent complete. This is about 8 per cent behind schedule due to the extremely severe winter. However, it is anticipated that this time will be made up during the spring and summer months. Bids for fixed equipment have been received and contracts awarded at prices within budget allowances. Schedules of moveable equipment and furnishings are being prepared for bidding in the near future. Cooperation of all concerned with the project has been excellent and the Committee feels that the project is proceeding in an ex­ tremely satisfactory manner. JUNIOR HIGH BUILDING COMMITTEE Signed: JOHN T. THOMSON, Chairman RALPH L. HADLOCK RICHARD J. DALEY JOHN J. McLAUGHLIN, JR. DONALD L. MORRISON

13 REPORT OF GOLF COURSE STUDY COMMITTEE · The Municipal Golf Course Study Committee is still unable to make a final report to the Town. The economic feasibility of having a Municipal Golf Course is dependent on several things currently under study, including availability of land, cost to the town, and methods of finance. Inasmuch as these factors have not been completely evaluated and that the study committee must be reorganized due to resignations, we ask that this be accepted as a report of progress. RICHARD ERICKSON Secretary REPORT OF THE HANOVER HISTORIC DISTRICT STUDY COMMITTEE This Committee was appointed in 1970 by the Board of Select­ men as specified by Chapter 40C of the General Laws of the Com­ monwealth. It has conducted a preliminary survey of the town and found several areas and individual sites which, in our opinion, meet the requirements to qualify as Historic Districts or Sites. In par­ ticular, this committee has singled out.the Four Corners area as the most logical and priority first step in a long-range program. An informal public meeting was held on this area and a formal preliminary report was prepared to meet the statutory requirements. It was hoped that a definitive plan of action could be presented at this Town Meeting for consideration this year. This has not been possible since State law requires more work than could be accomplished in the short time available. It is now planned to have a comprehensive article in next year's warrant for your consideration at that time. The Historic Districts Act provides a logical, fair means of preserving our architectural heritage in specific areas and gives property owners ample protection and considerable leeway in retention of their rights and privacy. This committee is well aware that a small number of voices have been raised in adamant and sometimes strident objection. We believe these are based on emotional reactions rather than logical reasoning. In any event, it is not this committee but you the voters of this town who must initiate any Historic District or Site. The law requires a two-third majority of the Town Meeting for approval. We hope this majority may be secured when all the facts are laid before you. In any event, it is simply impossible for this committee or any town official or body to · decree or impose such action without the overwhelming support of all our citizens. We urge all of you who can see the value in preserving some of our past for the benefit of future generations to contact any member of this committee and offer your encouragement and support. May we conclude this report of progress by quoting in part

14 from the Preliminary Report of this committee as prepared for the public meeting held in December: If there is one quality which distinquishes our historic struc­ tures in Hanover, it is durability. They built to last both in time and in taste. They are aged but ageless. The greatest enemy they had in days gone by was fire. The greatest enemy they face today is the thoughtlessness and selfishness of man. In an era when mankind is beginning to see the dangers of pollution and waste, can we hope that some citizens living in a Town named Hanover will have the foresight, imagination and determination needed to save our precious structures for future generations to admire and, hopefully, revere. r.o let such areas as Four Corners go the way of so many other villages would be pollution of a most deadly character. To save it requires a little wisdom and a modicum of courage. To lose it requires but a small measure of apathy and a generous dose of insensitivity. This Committee most urgently and earnestly asks the citizens of Hanover to take a closer look at what we have ... and what we can lose; and we ask your support and interest in this effort that asks no personal gain for anyone but can reward us all beyond measure.

15 REPORT OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ADDITION COMMITTEE Work on the addition to the Cedar School reached substantial completion on 16 March, 1970, and the additional classrooms received students shortly thereafter. The Committee believes that the building has fullfilled ex­ pectations in all major respects. A number of problems continue to be the subject of discussion between the committee, the architect and the general contractor, the major one of them being concerned with the adequacy of heat delivered to certain classrooms during periods of extreme cold. The architect and heating engineer express confidence that the system is properly designed and needs only appropriate adjustment to function within acceptable limits. The Committee will receive further reports at their next meeting. Town Counsel has been made a party to these discussions in order that the interests of the town may be protected. The Committee asks that this be accepted as a report of oroeress.

Respectfully submitted, Signed: GEORGE H. ABBOT, Chairman GEORGE R. BABINEAU ALICE FIRTH RONALDF.LEARY RONALD MacMILLAN

16 REPORT OF PROGRESS OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION May we indulge a few moments of your time, to point out a few things about our Conservation Commission--,that really can not be put into a written report. We have been directing our efforts in the following ways because; 1. Green belt, and open space land is fast disappearing. 2. We must buy when it is available at a fair price. 3. We solicit free land at any time, and friends of Conservation are urged to contact us at your convenience. Your Commission is exhausting all available methods of acquiring open space; that is, by gifts, transfer of tax titles, and out right purchase. (At this point a map showing conservation properties was pr~jected on the wall). Under the care, custody and control of the Conservation Com­ mission the 161 acres include what is shown here on the map. Notice the Green Belt area beginning to take shape. With this map we are explaining the reasons for articles 64, 65, 66, and 67. Thereby giving visible evidence of what has been ac­ complished. At this time we direct your attention to the Indian Head Site at the head waters of the North River. This is located in the South East corner of our Town, just off Elm Street. It is in this area that a new Fish Ladder has been constructed. This was done in conjunction with the Division of Marine Fisheries and the Town of Pembroke Conservation Commission. This ladder will not only accommodate Herring, of which the area is renowned, but also Shad. It is noted at this point that we have here in our Town, one of the two remaining rivers left in our State that Shad will spawn in. Also we ask that you watch the local papers for times and dates for the stocking the Coeho Salmon, in this same area. Our meetings are held on the Second Tuesday of every month, in the Town Hall, and friends of Conservation are always welcome. At this time we wish to thank all the Departments and agencies of Hanover for their valuable assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, DONALD J. ROGERS, Chairman RICHARD BRADFORD EDGAR PACKARD LEANDER NICHOLS KATHERINE TOWNSEND RALPH HADLOCK FRANK CERVELLI 17 REPORT OF CONTINUING SCHOOL BUILDING STUDY COMMITTEE

Six meetings have been held since September. We have made an extensive "School enrollment project study," noting that an estimated 6½ to 7 per cent annual increase in school population is expected. The alternative of almost immediate additional school con­ struction would be dramatic changes in the school calendar. This must be considered by the townspeople, and hence our committee, in weeks and months to come. We are attempting to form a sub-committee, to study the possible economics resulting from a re-scheduled school year, and to later report back to the townspeople. Any interested citizen, whether a member or not, is invited to attend the next and succeeding committee meetings, which will be preparing articles for a future Town Meeting Warrant, regarding additional school facilities. We urge any civic groups not now represented on our com­ mittee, to apply for representation, so as to have a greater cross­ section of involvement. Thank you, JOAN SHEEDY, Chairman

The Moderator called for• reports from other committees in­ cluding the Drainage Committee and explained that any committee that did not make a report would be automatically discharged. On motion duly made and seconded it was voted to accept these reports and to extend the life of the Drainage Committee.

Mr. Deluse, Chairman of the Advisory Committee requested and obtained permission to make the following statement.

Your Advisory Committee wishes to bring you up to date. Since the final preparation of the Advisory Committee's report, the State Department of Public Health has ordered that the existing dump site must be closed and under no circumstances may open burning take place. This has caused a hurry up survey and study to take emergency steps to insure a refuse disposal facility .It will therefore be necessary to amend the Health and Sanitation Budget. This in- 18 crease has to be held to the lowest possible amount for temporary operation until a permanent solution may be proposed. Some success may be claimed in having the School Committee reduce their budget from the first proposed by nearly $100,000. This was accomplished by joint efforts on the part of the School Com­ mittee and your Advisory Committee. Even so, with the increase in population, Kindergarten, preparing for the new school building and inflationary increases, the school budget has increased sub­ stantially in dollars. In an effort to hold the tax rate increase as low as possible, E & D funds have been recommended to be used. The single largest recommendation is $175,000 to be applied to the principle payment of School Bond issue. If all the recommendations are followed, we estimate an in­ crease of $10.00 on our rate based upon the factors we have to work with as we enter this Town Meeting. There are articles that are contained in the warrant that if passed can mean substantial ex­ penditures in the next couple years. Your Advisory Committee has endeavored to recommend reductions in expenditures and passing over of the articles without impeding the services to you the voters. These recommendations are based upon economic reasons the facts presented in support of or the lack of facts by the various proponents. The moderator explained the function of the Advisory Com­ mittee for the benefit of new voters in the town and introduced the members of the committee.

ARTICLE 3. To see if the Town will vote to fix the pay of its elective officers as required by law or take any other action relative thereto. VOTED: That the Town fix the pay for its elective officers as recommended under this Article of the Advisory Committee Report and that such pay be retroactive to January 1, 1971.

To see if the Town will vote to amend the Zoning By-Law to specifically exempt municipal uses from its provisions by adding the words "for any municipal purpose" in sub-paragraph G of Section VI, thus making that sub-paragraph read: G. General Provisions: In all districts, nothing in this by-law shall prohibit or limit the use of land for any municipal purpose, for any church or other religious purP.ose, or for any educational purpose which is religious, sectarian, denominational or public. Selectmen The following report was filed by the Planning Board. A public hearing on this proposed zoning revision was held February 17, 1971, in accordance with all statutory provision. Statutes and Court Decisions in Massachusetts do not appear to have determined whether a municipality, such as Hanover, must comply with its own Zoning By-Laws, although religious and educational uses are specifically exempted. This proposal was designed to avoid the possible inconvenience, delay and large ex­ pense of law suits which might arise in the future. Those present at the Public Hearing were overwhelmingly opposed to this zoning change in its present form for many reasons, many reflecting apprehension over particular possible projects. The most objective criticism appeared to be that, were this change approved, a simple majority at a future Town Meeting - or even an individual member of Town Government - might be able to initiate a project that could otherwise be subject to a two-thirds vote of a Town Meeting. In view of the substantial opposition expressed to the article as now worded, the Planning Board, by a majority vote, recommends that it NOT be adopted. It would, however, be acceptable if amended to provide that the municipal projects to be exempted were those which had received a two-thirds vote of approval at a Town Meeting. HANOVER PLANNING BOARD TURNER W. GILMAN, Chairman JOHN A. LIBERTINE, Clerk ROBERT L. KIMBALL JOSEPH J. ZEMOTEL FRANKLIN N. MEISSNER VOTED: That this Article be passed over.

Development and Industrial Commission The following report was filed by the Planning Board: A Public Hearing on this proposed zoning revision was held February 17, 1971, in accordance with all statutory provisions. This location, at the southeasterly corner of Broadway and Route 53, is conceded to be relatively undesirable for residential use. There are two parcels involved, one privately owned and one owned by the Town of Hanover and which is the subject of the following article which proposes its sale to be combined with the privately owned parcel. Together they appear to involve less than six-tenths of an acre. They are completely surrounded by property on which the Salmond Elementary School is located. The other three corners of the intersection are zoned and developed for business use. It was brought out at the Public Hearing, and conceded by the party having an interest in the development of this property, that the total area involved, even assuming the approval of the following article to combine the two parcels under one private ownership, is inadequate for any practicable business use without the approval of variances by the Board of Appeals because of the setback and the sideline req'!irements of the Zoning By-Law. 49 The Planning Board therefore recommends that this article NOT be approved.

Peterson, her heirs, successors in title or assigns, must combine this lot with Lot No. 79 of Plan 57, which is the ad­ joining lot owned by her, or take any other action relative thereto. Board of Selectmen VOTED: That this Article be passed over.

ARTICLE 74. To see if the Town will vote to amend the By-Laws of the Town of Hanover by amending Article XVI, to add Section 9, to read as follows: No person shall operate any self-propelled passenger vehicle, including but not limited to "trail bikes" and "snowmobiles," off-the-road on any property, public or private, without permission of the owner thereof, or the Board of Selectmen in· the case of public property, or take any other action relative thereto.

Moran and land now or formerly of the Hanover Swim & Tennis Club, Inc., a distance of about eighteen hundred eighty (1880) feet; Northerly by land now or formerly of the Hanover Swim & Tennis Club, Inc., a distance of about six hundred (600) feet; Easterly and in a line parallel to and one hundred fifty (150) feet Southeasterly from Third Herring Brook, a distance of about fifteen hundred (1500) feet; Southerly by land now or formerly of the Town of Hanover and land now or formerly of Americo A. Cassese, a distance of about seven hundred seventy (770) feet; Southwesterly and Southerly by the present commercial district by two (2) courses, a distance of three hundred (300) and one hundred fifty (150) feet, respectively; and southeasterly and westerly by the present commercial district, a distance for ap­ proximately thirty-nine hundred (3900) feet. SECOND PARCEL: Northeasterly by the Southeast Expressway, a distance of about one hundred fifty ( 150) feet; Easterly, Northerly and Easterly by Third ~erring Brook and Peterson's Pond, being the Hanover Town Line, a distance of about nineteen hundred (1900) feet; Southerly by land now or formerly of David W. Moran, a distance of about two hundred twenty (220) feet; Westerly and Southerly by the present limited industrial district, a distance of about nineteen hundred (1900) feet. Both parcels are more particularly shown and described on plan prepared by Bradford Saivets and Associates, Inc. of Brain­ tree, Massachusetts, dated November 28, 1970, a copy of which is submitted with this article. Development and Industrial Commission The following report was filed by the Planning Board: Following is the report of the Hanover Planning Board on Ar­ ticle 75 of the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting called for March 1, 1971. A public hearing on this proposed zoning revision was held February 17, 1971, in accordance with all statutory provisions. This article proposes to rezone from Residential to Limited Industrial land adjacent to the area of the new Hanover Mall. Almost all of this land was originally proposed for Apartment 51 zoning when the current zoning By-Law was adopted. When the Town Meeting overwhelmingly rejected the apartment zoning the land reverted to its previous status - that is, residential zoning - by default. At that time, in 1965, the Development and Industrial Commission would have recommended Limited Industrial Zoning for this land, as it did for similar parcels North and South of this area, but deferred to the recommendation of the Planning Con­ sultants that the area was even better suited to an Apartment Zone. The Development and Industrial Commission, in proposing this rezoning, is acting to implement its original recommendation for this land. The Planning Board in each of the past few years has stressed in its annual report the urgent necessity for more Limited Industrial land near major highways in Hanover and unanimously recom­ mends that this article be approved. HANOVER PLANNING BOARD TURNER W. GILMAN, Chairman JOHN A. LIBERTINE, Clerk ROBERTL.KIMBALL JOSEPH J. ZEMOTEL FRANKLIN N. MEISSNER

The area mentioned in this article is adjacent to the Hanover Mall which is under construction at this time and it is anticipated that if this amendment to the Zoning By-Laws is adopted, the area will be used for warehouses in connection with the commercial . activities of the Mall. There was considerable discussion on this article particularly as to possible contamination of the Third Herring Brook and the Town's water supply off Pond Street. Mr. W. Thompson Fulton, who owns an island of property within this area, moved that the article be amended to exclude his land. The presence of a quorum was doubted but a count by the tellers confirmed that a quorum was present. VOTED: That the description of the area in the "First Parcel," be amended so that the rezoning to Limited Industrial District as described in this article under the "First Parcel," shall in no way apply to lots number 13, 22, 58, 59 and 60 east of Washington Street as shown on Plan 24 of the Assessors' Map of· Hanover. These lots shall continue to be zoned as they are as residential. On motion duly made and seconded it was VOTED: That action be taken separately on the "First Parcel" and "Second Parcel." VOTED: 138 having voted in the affirmative and 28 in the negative, to amend the Zoning By-Law and so note on the zoning 52 map by changing the area described in the "First Parcel" from a Residential District to a Limited Industrial District, excluding lots numbered 13, 22, 58, 59 and 60 as shown on Plan 24 of the Assessors Map of Hanover, which lots will remain residential. VOTED: 133 having voted in the affirmative and 33 in the negative, to amend the Zoning By-Law and so note on the zoning map by changing the area described in "Second Parcel" from a Residential District to a Limited Industrial District. ARTICLE 76. To see if the Town will amend the Zoning By-Law by deleting from Section VI, B, 2, subparagraph "e", and to re-number the following sub-paragraphs "f" and "g" to be "e" and "f" respec­ tively or to take any action relative thereto. Petition VOTED: That this Article be passed over. ARTICLE 77. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Selectmen to take every possible action to enable the Town of Hanover to withdraw from the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, or take any other action relative thereto.

58 Report of the Town Clerk

To the Citizens of Hanover The calendar year 1971 was not particularly busy as it was an off year as far as elections were concerned. The year 1972 bids fair, however, to be an exceptionally busy year with the Annual Town Meeting and Town Election in March; the Presidential Primary in April; the State Primary in September and the Presidential and State Election in November. The total registration of voters at the close of the year stood at 4,582 due to the large number of 18, 19 and 20 year old residents registering for the first time. No doubt we can look forward to many more registrations in 1972, it being a Presidential Election year. Records of births, deaths and marriages are recorded under their separate headings as are the minutes of Town Meetings and Elections. Town Clerk receipts for the calendar year 1971 were as follows: Marriage Intentions $198.00 Mortgage Recordings 1,388.00 Mortgage Releases 25.00 Vital Statistics 276.97 Dog Licenses 4,037.00 Fish and Game Licenses 3,026.00 Other Receipts 776.19

84 Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture

BY EDGAR W. SPEAR, County Agent-Manager & Regional Turkey Specialist The Plymouth County Extension Service's office is located on High Street, Hanson, close to the Plymouth County Hospital, and can be reached by calling 293-3541 or 447-5946. Our legal title is Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture but better known as the Plymouth County Extension Service. We are the educational arm of the University of Massachusetts and the U.S. D. A. at the county level, which indicates that our work is in the field of education. We keep on display many free bulletins for use by Plymouth County residents. Lawn care, backyard gardening, insect control, nutrition, and home canning are just a few of the most popular ones. We welcome your visiting us between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. The number of soil samples tested this year was tripled over last year, and we hope to have better equipment this spring to im­ prove this free service. We have Agricultural Specialists serving commercial farmers, as well as a Natural Resource Development Specialist, two Home Economists and two 4-H Club Agents. This year a name change was voted by the Legislature, Chapter 990. This changes the name from "County Aid to Agriculture" to "Trustees for County Cooperative Extension Service", and is ef­ fective February 3, 1972. In 1972, an Advisory Council will be formed of all Town Directors to County Aid to Agriculture and we hope to improve our educational services to the residents of Plymouth County. Our 4-H Program is the part of the Extension Service best known by most people and we welcome new leaders and members. With our new urban programs, there are all kinds of projects for young people. The Board of Trustees, appointed by the Plymouth County Commissioners, administers the Extension Service Program and is composed of:

85 Arthur Chaffee, Jr., Chairman, Bridgewater John Duffy, Vice-Chairman, Halifax Mrs. George Mullen, Secretary, Hanson Robert Hosley, Middleboro Edward Gawle, Brockton Philip Gibbs, West Wareham Joseph Marchesiani, Hingham George A. Ridder, Whitman Mrs. Paul Sturtevant, Halifax

86 ·Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project

Concern for the environment has again been a factor in the Project's activities this past year. Our continued efforts will be to consider the problems of pollution and ecology while carrying out an effective mosquito control program. Obviously, indiscriminate mass applications of hard pesticides by aircraft or ground equip­ men~ is a thing of the past. By carefully following control outlines, provided by the entomologist for the State Reclamation Board, as well as the Uni_versity of Massachusetts, the Project has been able to provide adequate mosquito control in almost every area of the county.

Logically, reduction in mosquito population can best be ac­ complished before the mosquito becomes a flying adult. We, therefore, direct a substantial amount of monies into eliminating or controlling breeding areas. This is carried out by water management, trenching and clearing waterways, especially those that have become polluted or stagnant.

This past year throughout the county, approximately 14,505 man hours were spent working in the field. Included in this were 5,028 hours in spraying, applying a total of 20,173 gallons of spray material. 1,464 hours were given to pre-hatch, larvaciding, and inspection work. In addition, 4,320 catch basins were treated.

As indicated, water management is an important part of the Project's work. With attention being given to problem areas, our two backhoes worked 1,504 hours with a total of 29,755 feet of tren­ ching. Field crews spent 5,099 hours clearing 36,345 feet of clogged streams and ditches. Prime consideration is always given to those areas prone to Eastern equine encephalitis. Three cases were reported in the county last year. Secondly, those sections known to have a high mosquito producing potential are considered. The following is a brief summary of the Project's activities in your town. 103 hours were spent applying 115 gallons of spray . material to known breeding areas and 366 hours clearing blocked 87 waterways in areas of Candlewood Circle, Walnut Street, Spring Street, Cedar Street, Silver Street and Riverside Circle. This work also included beaver dam blockage off Circuit and Myrtle Streets. The backhoe was used an additional 56 hours for trenching off Water and Clapp Streets and also to the rear of the school on Whiting Street, thus making a total of 525 hours spent in the town. We have attempted to come close to the actual assessment of 2.814 per cent which is Hanover's share of the Project's appropriation. We express our continued appreciation for the assistance of the various town departments. Respectfully submitted, ALAN C. BAILEY Superintendent

Report of the Conservation Commission

To the Citizens of Hanover This year the Division of Marine Fisheries not only completed the new fish ladder, they also stocked the North River with Coho Salmon, these should return in the fall of 1972. The skating area in South Hanover has been enjoyed by children of all ages. This year as in the past the Green Belt is expanding. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Clark of King St. for giving this Commission the opportunity to purchase a 23-acre parcel abutting the Harrington property, that was acquired in 1970. At this time the Commission on behalf of the Town, would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Austin Briggs for their gift of 4 acres. And also thank Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sproul for their gift of 5 acres. The total land area now under the care, custody and control of the Conservation Commission is 233 acres. Respectfully submitted, DONALD J. ROGERS, Chairman LEANDER B. NICHOLS KATHERINE R.

88 Report of the Hanover Visiting Nurse Association, Inc.

To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Hanover: The Hanover Visiting Nurse Association submits the following report for the year ending December 31, 1971. During the past year twenty-one Well Child Conferences were held with Dr. Mary E. Butterworth as the attending physician. Immunizations against smallpox, tetanus, diptheria, whooping cough, measles and polio-myelitis were given at Well Child Con­ ferences at the discretion of the physician. These conferences are held for the benefit of infants and pre-school children of Hanover residents. In co-operation with the School Department and Board of Health, Heaf tests for the detection of tuberculosis were given. In April 412 pre-school children were screened for Amblyopia at the Cedar School in conjunction with the testing done by the School Dept. Forty-seven 7th and 8th graders attended the Baby-Sitting Course held in May and were given certificates. On Oct. 3rd the Board assisted the Doctors Committee with a reception held at the John Curtis Library for Dr. Hector Castellanos and Dr. James L. Guardo, Hanover's new physicians. The towns­ people were invited. During Diabetes Week Nov. 14th-20th, Dreypaks for the detection of Diabetes were made available to all Hanover residents. Five camperships were given in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Nagel. Eight scholarships totalling $1,100.00 were awarded to the following people planning to enter the field of nursing: Mrs. Eleanor Young, Deborah Du Vall, Nancy Fishwick, Ann Casey, Rosemary McFarlane, Kathleen Varner, Claire Pendleton and Mr. Jeffrey Kemp. We bought a special wheel chair for a child in Hanover who has Cerebral Palsy. It was given in memory of Mrs. Ezra Phillips. The Board was saddened by the passing of two of our members, Mrs. Louise Middleton and Mrs. Pauline Phillips. They will be greatly missed. In accordance with state specifications for recertification we hired, in March, Mrs. Avery Andrew, M.S. as a Consultant-

89 Supervisor. The Board accepted with deep regret the resignation of Mrs. Meredith Hamilton, R.N. as back-up nurse and Mrs. Judy Badot as Chairman of the Nominating Committee. Regular monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the morning, with the exception of July and August, and special meetings are held when necessary.

Additional sick-room equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, crutches, canes, et cetera, is available to the townspeople by calling the Nurse's Office at the Town Hall. Contributions to the Assoc. will be gratefully accepted "In Memoriam". We are most grateful for the townspeople's generous response to our Annual Fund Drive.

95 Report of the Visiting Nurse

To the Selectmen, the Hanover Visiting Nurse Association, and the Citizens of Hanover. I herewith submit my report for the work done by the nurses for the year 1971.

Medical Social Service Counseling and Health Supervision are offered on request of individuals. Twenty-one Well-Child Conferences were held at the Educational Building of the Congregational Church. Dr. Mary E. Butterworth was the attending physician. Each child is examined thoroughly and an immunization schedule is followed at the discretion of the attending physician. This year three hundred and ninety-thri!e children attended the clinics. Two hundred and eighty­ six physicals were done and three hundred and forty-seven received

96 immunizations. Members of the Association assisted the nurses and transported the children and their mothers to clinic when necessary. This health program is available to children of Hanover from infant to kindergarten age. An appointment must be made with the nurse by calling her office at the Town Hall. Courtesy calls are made to all new babies and their mothers when suc:p. births are known to the nurses. If a birth is a repeat in a family, a reminder is sent to the parents that Well-Child Con­ ferences and the Nurses' services are still available. Courtesy calls numbered one hundred and thirty-three and thirty-four cards were sent out. Health aids and sick room equipment is available to all residents of Hanover on a loan basis. Arrangements for equipment may be made with the nurses. At this time I wish to thank Mr. Everett Stoddard, Mr. Lewis Bourne, and Mr. John Hoadley for their cooperation and assistance with the delivery of heavy equipment. In order to keep up with new trends and the constant changes in Public Health Nursing, the nurses have attended many in-service programs and lectures throughout the year. Due to the generosity of many Organizations and Churches in Hanover, I had the pleasure of sending ten children to camp this summer, delivering Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets, and a large number of toys were placed under Christmas Trees. In March, I welcomed Mrs. Avery T. Andrew, R.N., M.S., to the agency as Consultant Supervisor. In December, Mrs. Meredith Hamilton, R.N ., resigned as back-up nurse due to the fact she moved out of town. Mrs. Andrew and I lectured to varied organizations and to a number of classes at the High School this past year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my nurses, Mrs. Avery Andrew, R.N., Mrs. Susan Hillman, R.N., and Mrs. Meredith Hamilton, R.N.; my secretary Mrs. Elizabeth Amazeen; Members of the Hanover Visiting Nurse Association; and the operators at the Emergency Center for the tremendous cooperation and assistance this past year.

98 Report of the Water Commissioners

The Board of Water Commissioners hereby submits its annual report. The Board holds a regular monthly meeting the second Monday of each month and many special meetings as cir­ cumstances require. The water supply has been further depleted by the lack of normal rainfall in the third and fourth quarters of 1971. In November the ground-water table in the well areas dropped below any previously recorded low levels, and the. recovery differential levels indicated further depletion. Although usage has been restricted and extension of water mains prohibited the total water required to supply the town continues to increase. It was obvious that to allow additional usage via new construction could cause failure of part or all of the present supply and endanger the health and safety of the inhabitants. Consequently, the Board of Water Commissioners on November 3, 1971 voted that "A supply of water is not now available from the water system operated by the Town of Hanover for any new buildings to be constructed in the future in the Town of Hanover.'' This action in addition to previous ones restricts all building in the town and the restriction will stay in effect until the situation is such that water is available. Neighboring towns have been requested to sell water to Hanover, however the Abington­ Rockland Joint Water Board and the Pembroke Water Department have both advised in writing that they would not be able to assist us. The Norwell Water Department took the matter under advisement and has not determined their position as of January 1, 1971. The solution to our immediate water problem is to make the two million gallons per day supply in the Pond Street area available to the town by construction of a treatment plant for that supply. It has taken four years of testing and Pilot Plant operation to develop the type of plant needed. Approval at the town meeting will be on the current schedule to enable the plant to be completed and in full l, operation by June of 1973. There are several articles including landtaking and a street closing in the warrant for the annual meeting which will require favorable action by the townspeople if the treatment plant is to be constructed. Per article No. 25 of the March 1971 Annual Meeting a meter survey has been made and a report and recommendation on the installation of water meters will be given at the annual meeting. Exploration surveys were carried out in a number of areas in the town. However no additional su~plies were located since those 99 reported on at the 1971 March annual meeting. Further exploration work has been included in the 1972 budget. The new standpipe authorized by the 1971 March meeting has been completed and it is expected to be in service by late February depending upon our ability to pump the additional water to fill it. Once the new tank is completed and in service the School Street tank will be taken out of service long enough to put in the new valve pit and automatic altitude valve. Over 1,500 feet of water main was replaced on Plain Street to coincide with the rebuilding of that street and the water main on the old part of Elm Street was relaid at a lower elevation to enable the brook and stream clearance to be completed on the Iron Mine Brook. The cleaning of the unlined cast iron pipe on Elm Street and Water Street was carried out and 9,000 feet of pipe was cleaned. An article to do more of this type of work is in the annual meeting warrant. From a hydraulic standpoint the water carrying ef­ ficiency of the water main was increased greatly. A program of flushing all of the mains was completed last May with excellent results. We hope to be able to continue this program each year as a part of the regular departmental operating procedure, but are limited by the available supply of water to do it. The Board of Water Commissioners and every member of the Department is fully aware of the inconvenience and problems caused by the restrictions on usage as well as construction. Every person's cooperation is greatly appreciated and needed to conserve water and have supply enough to properly protect the health and safety of the townspeople. Please remember that use of water is limited to essential uses only and lawn sprinkling, car-washing, filling of pools and rinks and similar non-essential uses are prohibited. It is hoped that approval of the programs for a treatment plant and metering will be given at the annual meeting in March and that there will be ample water supply for every use by mid-1973. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS JOHN THOMSON, Chairman MICHAELJ. LYNCH HENRY J. MATTHEWS, Clerk

100 Report of the Hanover Housing Authority

At the Town Meeting in March 1970, the town voted under Ar­ ticle 58 to establish under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 121, Section 26K as amended to establish a Housing Authority. Four temporary members were appointed by the selectmen until the next town election, Henry Chiminiello, Carlos Hill, Frederic Smith, Jr. and Jean Souther. The Governor appoints the fifth member and this appointment was not made until July 1970, thus the Authority could not function as a unit until August 1970. The Authority proceeded to organize and voted to build 40 to 48 Housing Units for the Elderly. At the annual town election held in March 1971, Henry Chiminiello, Carlos Hill, Frederick Smith, Jr. and Jean Souther were elected to fill the terms as provided by law. George Savage had already been appointed by the Governor to serve until July 1973. During the year the Authority selected several sites and the necessary forms were submitted to the Dept. of Community Affairs for approval of a site. To date the Authority has not received any formal notice of approval or disapproval for a site. The Authority is also discussing the possibility of leasing housing under Chapter 707 from private enterprise. Because of the many factors involved, it is impossible at the present time to set a timetable for the start of the Housing Project for the Elderly. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE A. SAVAGE, CHAIRMAN CARLOS F. HILL, VICE CHAIRMAN JEAN L. SOUTHER, TREASURER FREDERIC S. SMITH, JR., ASST. TREAS. HENRY P. CHIMINIELLO, SECRETARY

John Curtis Librarian's Report

Our circulation has doubled in the past four years and we hope it continues. We have had two story hours weekly and the enthusiasm displayed by the children is largely due to Mrs. Peter Anderson of the Hanover Junior Woman's Club, who so ably directs the story hours. The Club meets in the library monthly. The Welcome Wagon New-Comer's Club of Hanover is again designating the library as recipient of the open house program. They also presented books to the library. Both the Hanover Garden Club and the Walnut Hill Garden Club have decorated the library so attractively this year. The case has had some unusual displays. 870 adult and 245 juvenile books have been added to the collection this year, along with 133 records. The library's hours are from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. for the adult section and from 12:30 to 8 p.m. for the children's room, Monday through Friday, and from 12 to 5 p.m. on Saturdays for both. We thank our many patrons who by their courtesy and friend­ _liness have made the hours periods of real pleasure rather than merely service. Respectfully submitted, MARIAN MacDUFF Librarian

105 Trustee's Report John Curtis Free Library

The continuing growth in the use of the library appears clearly in the report by the Librarian and the Trustees wish to mention it again. The Trustees are most grateful for the generous gifts of books which have come from many this year, both individuals and groups, especially from the Welcome Wagon New-Comers Club an.i the Junior Women's Club. Special mention should be made of the establishment of the Louise Middleton Fund in memory of one who was deeply interested in the work of the library. Another memorial gift of special interest is a picture done by Mrs. William McCahon and given by her in memory of Helene Dexter Fulton, her gifted teacher. It will be placed on exhibit soon. Thanks are due to the Hanover Garden Club and the Walnut Hill Garden Club for their care in supplying the library with flowers throughout the year. And our staff, as always, has given devoted service to the Town for which we thank them sincerely. FANNY H. PHILLIPS Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the John Curtis Free Library

106 Report of the Board of Selectmen

To the Citizens of Hanover: We respectfully submit the one hundred and nineteenth Annual Report of the Officers and Committees of the Town of Hanover for the year ended December 31, 1971. Your Board continues to act on the' many increasingly serious problems which are presented to them for direct action. These in­ clude capital outlay, improved services, insurance, budgets, operating expenses, street lighting for public safety, and traffic control signs on our highways. Police and Fire protection are a continued concern as these matters deal directly with human life and the protection of property. We are very much concerned with the effectiveness of the so­ called "Home Rule," which was designed to bring local government closer to its own community. We find this is not true, and in many cases special legislation is passed which results in unexpected financial burdens to a city or town, with no consideration of the municipality's ability to pay. We feel that this condition will exist until the citizens contact their appropriate legislators and make known their feelings on this matter. Regularly scheduled meetings were held on each Monday evening, and on the first and third Wednesday of each month to deal with these problems and routine town business. Several meetings were held with our State Senator and State Representatives to discuss pending legislation which directly, or indirectly, affected the Town of Hanover. This Board continues to be very much concerned with the M.B.T.A. Assessment for services that we do not receive, and we have again asked our Representatives to file legislation authorizing the removal of Hanover from the Authority. During the past year the Board accepted with regret the resignation of Laura M. Murphy as a member of the Hanover Council for the Aging, and we wish to express our sincere thanks to Mrs. Murphy for the many years of faithful service she has given to the Citizens of the Town of Hanover. During 1971, it was our pleasure to issue Proclamations honoring: Hanover Visiting Nurse Association

107 Hanover J ayCee-etts Ha.nover-Pembroke Lodge of Elks Hanover Girl Scouts Hanover Garden Club This Board has met with the above agencies and fraternal groups on many occasions to seek their aid and advice on specific problems, and we wish to commend all for their devoted services to the Town of Hanover. The Board wishes to remind all our Citizens that its meetings are open to the public, and extends an invitation to attend. The Board thanks all our Citizens for their cooperation in the matters it undertakes. We will continue to serve in the best interests of all the Citizens of the Town of Hanover. Respectfully submitted, HOW ARD F. LEVINGS ALLAN A. CARNES FRANCIS J. MITCHELL Board of Selectmen

108 Report of the Gas Inspector

To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Hanover, Mass. I hereby submit my fourth annual report for the period January 1, 1971 through December 31, 1971. There were two hundred and sixty-five inspections made and eight hundred and eighty-four dollars in fees collected and turned over to the Town Treasurer. I appreciate the cooperation of the homeowners, contractors, and all town departments. Respectfully submitted, FRANK A. KANNEGIESER Gas Inspector

109 Report of Cemetery Commissioners

To Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Hanover. The Cemetery Commissioners wish to submit the following report: During the year of 1971 there have been 54 burials, 29 of which were from out of town. Each year we are getting more roads throughout the Cemetery blacktopped and the past year has been no exception. By retirement we lost a valuable member of the Com­ missioners' group by the name of Clifford L. Stoddard. The expansion of the cemetery is in the progressive stage. We wish to thank all of the other departments for their splendid cooperation in helping us keep the cemetery in fine condition. Respectfully sgbinitted, , THEODORE R. THOMPSON HENRY S. NEWCOMB CLIFFORD L. STODDARD, (Retired)

110 Report of the Building Inspector

To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Hanover: The year 1971 showed that the construction of new dwellings totaled 64 as compared to 61 in 1970. The total number of Building Permits increased over the 1970 figure because of the increased amount of commercial construction. The new dwellings constructed in Hanover over the past ten years are as follows: 1962- 67 1967-106 1963- 44 1968-146 1964- 79 1969-127 1965-159 1970- 61 1966- 84 1971- 64 The Building Permits issued in 1971 were as follows: New Dwellings 64 Accessory Buildings 14 Additions, Remodeling 40 Business Buildings 26 Signs 29 Swimming Pools 17 Miscellaneous 5 TOT AL PERMITS 195 The estimated cost of the above listed construction as shown on the Building Permit Applications totaled $2,664,590.00. The office coll~cted $4,535.00 in Building Permit ·Fees in 1971 and this amount w,s turned over to the Town Treasurer. Several cases went before the· Board of Appeals for their decision. These cases required Board of Appeals approval or a variance from the Town's Zoning By-Law. This office is located on the second floor of the Town Hall and is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, afternoons by appointme~t. Respectfully submitted, PAULN.LITCHFIELD Building Inspector

111 Report of the Fire Engineers

To the Citizens of the Town of Hanover The Board of Fire Engineers submits its report for the year 1971. This has been an unusually busy year, averaging 7 to 8 calls a week. We have had a total company response of 1,146 runs this year. This is an increase of 33 per cent over 1970. Some of the unusual calls have been: pony in a swim pool, boy buried in sand, child stuck in cement pipe, cat in sewer drain, also three calls for persons in water - and all successfully revived; persons trapped in cars and under cars, and over 50 resuscitator calls - all handled quickly and ef­ ficiently by the department. Inspections of schools, public buildings and rest homes have been made; fire drills in the schools - talks given to the children in various classes; inspections of sprinklers and fire alarm systems in our industrial and commercial plants, inspection of all oil burner installations and gasoline storage tanks, explosive permits, in­ vestigations and various reports all have been properly attended to and processed by the Chief. Our training program is continuous. Men attend seminars at West Bridgewater in the summer, plu~ regular training at their own stations. We recently concluded a 5-week training class in Rescue and Extraction Procedures given by Captain Smith of Brockton's famous Squad A. Twenty-two men completed the course and received certificates. Also thirty-three men completed a course in First Aid given by the American Red Cross and hold certificates to this effect. The new station was completed and the company moved in July. On the 25th we held dedication ceremonies of a Memorial Plaque to former Deputy Chief John H. White. After the ceremonies an open house was held by the men of Company 1. The new Engine 6 was deli'lered in late spring and is performing well. The engine purchased at last year's town meeting to be placed at Company 5 will probably be delivered late this spring. It takes nearly two years to build a truck. This year we replaced the tone equipment at the Com­ munication Center. Also all the station receivers. This should take care of our Alarm System for sometime to come. We stayed within our operating budget, but ran over on our suppression of fire ac­ count and had to ask for a transfer. This was due to the increase in runs for this year:

112 We are asking to replace the rescue truck this year and to purchase a forest fire truck, the present rescue has had a lot of use over the years, body rot has set in - mileage is high and it is getting to be a risk not a rescue on the road. A new forest truck is needed to help in our suppression of woods and grass fires. The present woods trucks are old army vehicles. They do a good job when running, but it is difficult to get parts and repairs - more so as time goes on. In our salary account we have added a sum of $8,200.00 to enable us to employ two men full time for one-half a year. These two men would be stationed at Company 4 Center Station day times from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. We feel that the time has come due to the lack of manpower day times to have two men ready to roll an engine immediately on receiving an alarm. Then we would be certain an engine was responding to the emergency. This is not an attempt to build a permanent fire department. The Board has no intentions at this time to come in 1973 and ask for two more men. Only that we have funds to employ two men 8 hours a day, 5 days a week at the Center Station. We feel this will give us the security we need daytimes, keep our call men as is, and will be sufficient for the next several years. We hope the townspeople will vote for this ac­ tion. We thank all of the departments for their help throughout the year. The townspeople for their cooperation when the burning ban went into effect; our thanks to firefighter David Studley and to G. Arthur Smith who retired after many years of service, and to Engineer Edgar Packard who resigned as our clerk after five years of service, and to the men of the Hanover Fire Department our thanks not only for the excellent job done at all our emergencies, but also for the many hours of training that you gave us. Again thank you. Hanover Board of Fire Engineers LAWRENCE E. SLANEY, Chief CHARLES L. ING LIS, Clerk EDGAR PACKARD WENDELL BLANCHARD T. DREW BATES ERNEST BOURQUE

113 Report of the Inspector of Wires

To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of Hanover: We hereby submit the Eleventh Annual Report of the Wire Inspector's Department for the period January 1, 1971 to December 31, 1971. There were 505 permits issued and acted upon. $5,947.00 in fees were collected and turned over to the Town Treasurer. We appreciate the cooperation of the homeowners, contractors, and all departments in making this a safer town electrically. Respectfully sub~itted, GEORGE W. FISHER, Wire Inspector ROBERT MONTGOMERY, Deputy Inspector

Report of the Board of Health

To the Citizens of the Town of Hanover: The Board of Health is pleased to submit the following report for the year ending December 31, 1971. The Board meets every Monday night at 7:30 p.m. When holidays fall on Monday the Board meets on the following Wed­ nesday at the same time. At meetings necessary permits and licenses are issued, matters in connection with subdivisions and public health are gone over and complaints are processed. The Board welcomes meeting with any citizen's group in connection with any activity under our jurisdiction. Restaurant inspections are on a continuous schedule and each establishment is graded by the inspector and records are on file in the office. 77 Disposal Works Construction Permits were processed during the year 1971. Several clinics were held during 1971, including Immunization of pre-school children and school children, Flu Vaccine Clinics for 114 town employees and Golden Agers, Heaf testings in the schools and two Rabies Vaccine Clinics for_ dogs. An X-ray Mobile Unit Survey and Glaucoma Detection Clinic were not held. The X-ray survey was not held on the recommendation of the Plymouth County Health Association. The Board was successful in obtaining twenty-three acres of land by eminent domain for the ouroose of locatine a sewage treatment facility when the need arises. The land consist of five parcels and is bounded by Riverside Drive, the North River .and Elm Street. The Board anticipates that an Article will be inserted in the Warrant for 1973 to request final plans for municipal sewage. The problems in the Hanover Four Corners have reached the point where something is going to have to be done. The mosquito control program conducted by the Board was a success and we are asking for $8,800.00 to continue the program for 1972. The reason for the additional money is for the cost of aerial application and does not reflect an increase in the program itself. The Board will, for the second successive year, request the towns- . people to withdraw from the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project. After meetings with members of the Reclamation Board and various town officials we were assured that the shortcomings of the project would be corrected and :work reports requested by this Board would be submitted to us on a regular basis. No reports have been received nor any work conducted withi~ the town to our knowledge. Stream and brook clearance under the supervision of our High­ way Surveyor have been completed with funds voted at the last town meeting. Iron Mine Brook was cleared from the North River to Broadway, and it is hoped that this year that clearing of the brook will be continued from Tindale's to the disposal area on Rockland Street. This would minimize any possible contamination, from run­ off at the dump entering our water supply. The Board would like to express their appreciation to the townspeople for cooperating with our rules and regulations at the landfill site and realize that conditions, from time to time, have been less than desirable. The schedule and open hours of the dump facility will remain the same until the proposed transfer station (if voted) is erected. We hope that the muddy conditions which have prevailed can be kept to a minimum. The Board is entering 1972 with confidence that the dump problem has been solved. It is hoped that a special town meeting will be held early in 1972 or Articles will be submitted for the annual town meeting warrant, to consider a transfer station at the present dump site. The refuse will be haµled from the station to a site owned by Cal's Motor Transportation Inc. in Berkley. The Board has signed a contract, pending the vote of the townspeople which allows

115 $5 per ton for accepting the refuse and $2 a ton for trucking the refuse from Hanover to the site. A total of $7 per ton. Along with the operating cost of the transfer station this is far cheaper than any method of disposing of refuse~o date. It is hoped that the transfer station will be in full operation before the Fall of 1972. The present dump would then be covered and sealed, by the town with the equipment presently on the site. This would require more time but the cost involved would be considerably less than having it done by private contractor. The Board requested the Board of Selectmen to insert an Article into the Warrant to purchase or take by eminent domain fifty acres of land in the Atlantic Research complex off Winter Street. The Board felt that the Town should have available land which could be used for a disposal area should any emergency arise or contingencies regarding solid waste disposal which are not known to date. It is believed an additional vote of the town would be required to place the fifty acres of land into a sanitary landfill operation because of zoning requirements. The Board has no in­ tention, at this time, of using this land for anything other than a back-up should something happen and the town be placed in a position with no place for its rubbish. The present land on Rockland Street which is being used as a sanitary landfill operation has been condemned by the State Department and will not be usable in the future as it lies in a water shed which feeds into the Tindale well fields. On July 7, 1971 the Board voted to stop all percolation tests because of the low water table and drought conditions. The ban was lifted on October l, 1971. Our rules and regulations governing the sanitary sewage were also revised. When the Water Commissioners declared an emergency on November 3, 1971 and a total ban on all future connections went into effect the Board felt it necessary to draft rules and regulations pertaining to private water supplies. These· rules were adopted on November 29, 1971 and govern only water supplies intended for domestic use and do not pertain to wells used for gardens, lawns, etc. The Board wishes to thank the various town officials for their cooperation and especially Mr. Franklin Ames, Highway Surveyor who has assisted this Board in every way imaginable. We also wish to thank the citizens for their cooperation in 1971 and look forward to their continued support in 1972. The following complaints were processed during the year 1971: 58 Communicable Diseases 69 Complaints of various unsanitary conditions 42 Complaints regarding the public water supply 27 Sewage complaints 14 Brook and pond water complaints

116 8 Reports of sub-standard housing conditions 2 Condemned buildings 5 Drainage complaints 67 Dead animals picked up as health hazards 5 Complaints of unsati$factory milk sold in stores 14 Restaurant complaints of uncleanliness 9 Mosquito complaints 57 Miscellaneous complaints 24 Dump complaints 4 Neglect of children and elderly • 5 Unsatisfactory products not meeting public health standards (food) 1 Noise Pollution 1 Roden complaint 5 Landlord not providing heat Respectfully submitted, ALBERTE.

117 Report of the Tree Warden

To the Citizens of the Town of Hanover, I submit this report for the year 1971. Work progressed in seasonal order as follows: Clean up after winter storms. Roadside trimming on Water Street, Hanover Street, Old • Washington Street, Main Street, Pleasant Street, Pantoosett Road, Myrtle Street and Winter Street. Also at several curves and in­ tersections. Dormant spray of elms. Sprays for Elm Leaf Beetle, Tent Caterpillar, Birch Leaf Minor, Oak Leaf Skeletonizer and other insects in particular locations as problems arose. Continued pruning of the elder sugar maples and removal of those beyond saving. Poison ivy sprayed in problem locations. Sampling, testing and removal of 14 Dutch Elm diseased trees. Responded to many calls for insect pests. 30 new trees of various species planted. 46 trees, other than Elms removed. Considerable clean up was necessary after storm Doria in early September. The insect pest of note this season was the Tent Caterpillar. Heavy infestations on wild cherry and fruit trees were common in Southeastern Massachusetts. Timely spraying kept control on our roadsides. The Oak Leaf Skeletonizer was also present but seemed to have subsided in comparison to last year's infestation. The most serious pest in Massachusetts this year was the Gypsy Moth Caterpillar. All Tree Wardens kept a close watch in their communities. The whole Northeastern United States, from Virginia to Maine, was declared a quarantine area by the United States Department of Agriculture. A total of 18,000 acres were defoliated in Massachusetts. My sincere thanks to the citizens, Town officials and many departments of the Town for their cooperation and assistance. · Respectfully submitted, HERBERT D. SIMMONS Tree Warden

118 Report of the Police Department

To the Board of Selectmen and the Citizens of the Town of Hanover: I hereby submit the following report of the Police Department from Jan. 1, 1971 to Dec. 31, 1971. We have had a busy year on the Police Department in the Town of Hanover these past 12 months. Most activities have been on the increase and we are not alone, as all Police Departments are faced with this increase. A major portion o~ the crimes committwf have been by Drug Dependant Persons and this type of Criminal is becoming more and more prevalent in our society. It is hoped that with education, starting at a young age, through the school facilities we are at­ tacking the problem and this will teach the young people the futility of using drugs. The preliminary plans for a Police Station will be presented at the March Town Meeting. A Police Station Building Committee was appointed by the Town Moderator Mr. George H. Lewald this past year. The following were appointed: Mr. George R. Mowbray, 194 Meadowbrook Road; Mr. Donald L. Brenton, 20 Woodland Drive; Mr. John F. Forry, Jr., 99 Pine Street and Mr. Stephen F. Borrelli 314 Myrtle Street. Mr. Mowbray was chosen as Chairman·of this Committee and Mr. Forry as Secretary. There have been several meetings held by the Committee and they have worked very long and diligently to present preliminary plans of a new Police Facility for the March Town Meeting in 1972.

120 Report of the Board of Appeals

To the Board of Selectmen and Citizans of Hanover: The Zoning Board of Appeals held twenty-nine public hearings during the year 1971, on applications for permitted uses requiring approval, petitions for variances, and appeals of decisions made by administrative officials, all applicable to the Zoning By-Law. Twenty-five decisions were filed at the Office of the Town Clerk ' as prescribed by statute and four petitions were withdrawn without prejudice by the petitioners. Also, the hearing process-was initiated for two applications which will extend into 1972. The following dispositions were received· this year on decisions appealed to a higher authority: (Case No. 70-4), Tri-Town Homes Inc., decision of Board affirmed, July 9, 1971 by Second District Court of Plymouth. (Case No. 70-5), Country Village Corporation, decision vacated July 13, 1971 and Board directed to issue com­ prehensive permit by Housing Appeals Committee, Dept. of Community Affairs. The Town of Hanover appealed this decision to Superior Court and has been reported to the Supreme Judicial Court, decision pending. (Case No. 70-14) Robert Shortall; the Board was notified by Town Counsel that June 10, 1971, Judge Collins, Plymouth Superior Court, stated that the decision denying the Shortall's variance was defective because decision did not set forth reasons why Board was denying variance. (Case No. 70-15), Joseph S. Cippola, Frank A. Cheverie et al, decision annulled August 16, 1971 by Judge Collins, Plymouth Superior Court. The· Board has received notice from the Planning Board that they are appealing the decision on Case No. 71-27, Broad Construction Corp., to Plymouth Superior Court. We wish to thank all Town Officials and personnel of the Town Hall for the cooperation extended to the Board this year. Respectfully submitted, ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS JAMES S.

121 Report of the Tax Collector

To the Board of Selectmen, Town of Hanover: To the Taxpayers of the Town of Hanover "Thank You." Thank you for your understanding and patience this Fall when your Real Estate Tax Bills were mailed late, showing a number of different due dates and, in most instances, a considerable increase in tax over last year's bill. Your gracious acceptance of this situation and concern, consideration and prompt payment was indeed a helpful factor in maintaining sanity in this department through a very difficult period. Hopefully next year our bills will be mailed in a more con­ ventional manner. I also wish to thank Town Officials and employees for the help and consideration given this department throughout the year. I submit, herewith, the annual report of the collections of taxes and water charges for tl'.e year ending December 31, 1971. Respectfully submitted, ELEANOR S.

124 Report of the Development and Industrial Commission

To the Citizens of Hanover: The Development and Industrial Commission has met during the past year. We have contacted companies that we thought might like to settle in Hanover as well as assisted those companies already in town. We have assisted the Selectmen in the development of the Hanover Mall and advised in the planning of the industrial area adjoining the Mall. The water shortage has slowed us down somewhat like many other South Shore towns but we have planned meetings with these towns to discuss this problem. We intend to draw up a brochure of Hanover showing and highlighting its many advantages and assets. Our meetings are the third Monday evening of each month. Persons or companies seeking appointments with the Com­ mission may do so by contacting the Selectmen's Office or any member of the Commission. We wish to thank the Selectmen and the Planning Board for all their help. Respectfully submitted, JOHN E. CONDON, Chairman ALBERT GIBBS LOUIS ESTABROOK ROBERTSHORTALL WILLIAM LEV A

126 Hanover Park and Recreation Committee

The Hanover recreation facilities are becoming more essential daily to the youth and adults of the town. The summer recreation program had 1,200 children weekly. The tennis courts are in full operation, with tennis in the sum­ mer and skating in the winter. Three men's softball leagues, 52 baseball and girls' softball teams plus groups conducting special e,vents used our fields this year. Planned for this year is full lighting of all facilities at B. Everett Hall Playground and completion of the paving. A one-hole practice . golf green and picnic area at Myrtle Street Playground. A com­ bination baseball-softball field and a basketball court at Ellis Field. The Committee feels a Town Pool would be very desirable to make swimming instruction available to all the children in addition to the recreational aspects it would offer to all the citizens of Hanover.

Report of Civil Defense

To the Citizens of Hanover: Your Civil Defense continues to function on a standby basis and stands ready to assist the townspeople in the event of any severe emergencies.

128" Report of the Highway Surveyor

To the Citizens of Hanover: I hereby submit my eighteenth annual report of the activities of the Highway Department for the year 1971. · Beginning with the first day of January, we had nine major snowstorms, with several minor storms which required only sanding. With winter over, we spent five weeks cleaning sand from the highways. 1,135 catchbasiris were also cleaned. Walnut Street, Bardin Street and Broadway were surface treated with asphalt and sand with a mix-in-place surface on a portion of Circuit Street. Silver Street was completed from Donna Drive to Route 139. Reconstruction was continued on Plain Street for a thousand feet. Our Chapter 90 project was the continuation of the rebuilding of Cedar Street with only 500 feet being left for next year. The Chapter 90 maintenance funds were spent on Whiting Street from Webster Street to Cedar Street. A new 2-yard, bucket loader was purchased along with a new automatic sand spreader. Under the Brook and Stream Clearance program, Iron Mine Brook was cleaned from Riverside Drive to Broadway with a new culvert being installed on Old Elm Street. About 600 feet of drainage with catchbasins were installed on Plain Street, a new culvert on Broadway and several minor drainage projects were accomplished throughout the Town, under the sponsorship of the Drainage Committee. At this time, I wish to express my appreciation to the Officials and Citizens of Hanover for their fine cooperation, also the Police Department, School Custodians and the Communication Center for their unlimited services extended to the Highway Department during the winter months. Respectfully submitted, S. FRANKLIN AMES Highway Surveyor

\ South Shore Vocational High School Report of the South Shore Regional School District Committeeman

During the year 1971 the school passed two milestones: (1) the last payment on the bond issue. was made, and (2) for the first time there were a sufficient number of applicants from the . member towns to fill the school to capacity. No more tuition pupils will be admitted hereafter. This happy condition results no doubt from the disillusionment of the parent and the pupils with college degrees. The first milestone saved the Town $20,000.00 and the second saved the Town $9,000.00, a total of $29,000.00. Another innovation made during 1971 was the employment of a woman teacher for English. In spite of our misgivings this situation has been a happy one. We are also proud of our record of em­ ployment among our graduates. Every graduate of this school is now employed or is attending a school of higher education. This happy situation is due to the efforts of the staff and particularly of the guidance director and the assistant director. The budget for the year 1972 includes a sum of money to employ a consultant to study the several possibilities for expanding the services of the school. Now for the bad news. Once again the Massachusetts Educational Conference Board has filed a bill to• repeal Section 16D of Chapter 71, which provided 15 per cent additional Chapter 70 aid to towns which were members of a regional district. It also included in the same bill the repeal of Chapter 74 aid to vocational schools. The first of these amendments will cost the town of Hanover $110,000.00 per year. The second will cost another $42,000.00. This is the same legislation .which was passed in 1965 and wh_ich we were able to have repealed. This time it will require more than the effort of the school committees and the professional associations. I will alert the town through its · officials of the time when action is required. Respectfally submitted, VALENTINE F. HARRINGTON

130 School Department Annual Report 1971

Growing up is never easy, especially in times like these. ·Growth and change have been experienced by the 3200 young people and the 300 adults who work with them in our schools this year. This School Department Report for 1971 highlights some four aspects of that growth. Growth in curriculum, teaching techniques and school plant has occurred at all levels. The aim of these changes is to provide real educational opportunities for each young person. Basic com­ munications skills are being given high prority. A new English syllabus was developed for grades 9-12 by staff members and successfully introduced. A new language arts program is in suc­ cessful operation in the elementary schools. Similar updating should progress through the grades and in various subjects in the next few years. A health education curriculum is being developed, pilot tested and made operational throughout the grades. Some activities already occurring include: drug education programs in the middle grades, rap sessions and special units in academic subjects at the high school, and personal development programs in the primary schools. Much has been done, yet there is much to do in this critical area of physical well being. Summer school has expanded its offerings not only to challenge the creative interests and talents of younger children and to provide special help for those with learning disabilities, but also to give remediation in basic subjects for those in the middle and upper grades. In future summers, expanded school department activities for students and the community should be expected. Growth in teaching techniques are many and varied. Video tapes are no longer a novelty but a valuable educational tool at Cedar SchoQl. Closed circuit TV, development of learning centers, team teaching, programmed transitional classes, cooperative teaching and differentiating the types of teaching and class size may sound like educational jargon but in the Hanover Schools of 1971 have specific meanings which should lead towards more ef- fective learning. · Growth in the school plant in 1971 saw the construction of the 800 student part of the Junior High School. Capacity occupancy on opening day and favorable state legislation has indicated the need and the means by which the building can be expanded to its design capability of 1200 students.

131 A secon.d area of growth in 1971 concerns student involvement and choice. Short, intensive courses in topics of high student in­ terest, often known as mini courses, have tried to foster the capacity and desire for lifelong learning and allow exploration in prevocational and hobby activities. The junior high has tried such topics as conservation, fashion and black history. The senior high has full course electives in literature of the sea, project physics and drama. Musical activities include increased participation in in­ strumental lessons and growth in the size and skill of both vocal and instrumental groups at the intermediate grades, and the in­ troduction of a woodwind and brass ensemble at the high school. Musical groups share their skill with fellow students in other Hanover schools, performances for parents, golden agers, at sports activities and even at a shopping center. Extensive club programs, participation reaching 80 per cent at times, student participation in many local contests testify to the involvement of young people and the voluntary leadership given by their teachers. Two other types of student involvement became pronounced in 1971. A Hanover student was able to take part in a student exchange program with another land and an exchange student from Sweden attended Hanover High. High schoolers served as tutors in the primary grades and middle school students helped first graders. National Honor Society members undertook a service project t, help fell ow students with their studies. Increased student in­ volvement is part of growing up; these learning experiences can increase a young person's respect for the community of man and the meaning of democratic living. A third aspect of growth involves increased professional competence and public understanding. Staff members in record numbers have attended conferences and take professional college courses. In-service programs developed by school personnel have included a regional conference for 300 adults dealing with learning · disabilities, a multitown conference on reading practices, workshops in math teaching techniques, audio visual materials and cuisenaire rods. Through cooperative arrangements with local collegest block assignment of practice teachers has proved ad­ vantageous to Hanover youngsters and college students alike. Parents have attended individual conferences at better than 90 per cent level. Many community groups such as the PT A, Hanpver Women's Club, Visiting Nurse Associationt JC and JC-ettes have given time and money to help young people in many ways; we ex­ tend our thanks to all such groups. Citizen groups have become increasingly interested in school activities so the schools have sponsored programs on educational topics for all interested. A music boosters club of parents has been organized, and various athletic support groups all aid extra curricular endeavors. The local newspapers have been most cooperative in printing school releases and some 976 articles have been printed in the four papers in recent 132 months. The staff has been engaged in these activities over and above ·their teaching duties and their improvement, and public recognition of their work has led to better opportunities for the youth. A last aspect of growth to be mentioned in this report involves recognition of accomplishment. Student achievements were noted at all levels with the high school academic and athletic activities serving as an example. Of the 1971 graduates, 61 per cent accepted higher education placement with the others realizing their goals upon entry into a variety of occupations. Four young people received National Merit Letters of Commendation. Boys' football and girls' basketball teams earned league titles. Ice hockey was introduced as a varsity sport. Hundreds of young people made personal achievements on intramural, JV and varsity teams. At the professional level Hanover High School received an in­ creasingly rare 10 Year Accreditation as the result of the evaluation by the New England Association of College and Secondary Schools. This recognition is due to the continued high performance of the principal, Mr. Donald Virtue, and his staff and their extended effort and time spent in the months preceeding this evaluation. With continued effort and progress, the school, its staff and students should maintain this rating proof of the quality of performance the town has come to expect from its schools at all levels. School expenditures are reported in summary form once again and interested citizens are referred to earlier reports for a fuller explanation. For more detail and for answers to specific questions, individuals are invited to call the department's office at Curtis School.

TREASURER'S REPORT 1971 In accordance with Section XII of the South Shore Regional School District Agreement effective January 6, 1960, I submit herewith details of the 1971 financial transactions of the School District. Details are presented with respect to the 1971 estimated ex­ penditures; apportionment of estimated expenditures to member towns, actual cash receipts and disbursements, balance sheet and statement of outstanding debt as of December 31, i971. Total operating costs for the year were $620,347.34 which in­ volved salaries and wages of $434,306.85 and other expenses of · $186,040.49 details of which are shown in the cash expenditures schedule. Capital Outlay costs for the year were $233,841.49 involving cost of new equipment in the amount of $69,041.49 and bond principal and interest payments totalling $164,800.00 as shown in the expenditures schedule. The above mentioned bond principal and interest payment made in August 1971 was the final installment due on a IO-year construction loan, the original amount of which was $1,600,000.00 with interest payable at 3 per cent. Therefore, the School District has no outstanding funded or fixed debt. Expenditures under Federal Grant accounts were as follows:

George Barden-Smith Hughes $2,037.59 PL 87-415 Manpower Development 659.22 ~L 88-210 New Equipment 1,766.94 PL 90-576 Welding - Disadvantaged Persons $6,795.00 1,806.00 PL 90-576 Work Study 405.00 E.S.E.A. Title II Library Extension 359.03 ---- $7,200.00 $6,628.78 $13,828.78

147 Various additional expenditures under self-explanatory titles were made as per details set forth in the expenditure schedule. On November 11, 1971, the School District Committee reached an agreement under the collective bargaining law of the State of Massachusetts with the South Shore Regional Vocational Teachers Federation, Local No. 1896, AFL-CIO granting teacher salary in­ creases for the school year 1971-72 approximating 9.1 per cent and for the school year 1972-73 approximating 5.5 per cent. The new contract will expire August 31, 1973 and negotiations for a sub­ sequent agreement will commence no sooner than February 1, 1973. The salary increases granted are in accordance with the Federal Government wage freeze rules and regulations. Retro­ active salary increases for the period September 1, 1971 through November 13, 1971 in the total amount of $8,641.78 have not been paid in accordance with present Federal Government wage freeze regulations. It is anticipated that the retro-active salary increase for the period September 1, 1971 through November 13, 1971 will be paid in 1972 after enabling legislation has been approved by the Massachusetts Legislature. Surplus Revenue was determined to be $180,572.78 as of December 31, 1971 and was derived from the following sources: Balance Jan. 1, 1971 $181,056.73 Additions: Excess of 1971 District Receipts over Estimates Used: 1971 Tuition Income $37,591.18 1971 Shop Income 15,665.33 1971 Misc.

A $50,000.00 portion of 1971 Surplus Revenue has been voted by the District Committee to be used to reduce the 1972 Operating Cost 148 Assessment to member towns resulting in a remaining balance of $130,572.78. An amount of Surplus Revenue equivalent to three months expenditures is necessary to enable payment of School District Expenditures between January 1 and April 1 of each year inasmuch as the annual assessment revenue received by the School District from member towns is payable in quarterly installments on the first day of April, June, August and December of each year.
