1971 State Census - 8,249 TOWN DATA

Norwell is situated in Southeastern Massachusetts, bordered by the Towns of Hanover and Rockland on the west, Pembroke on the south, Marshfield and

Scituate on the east and northeast, and Hingham on the north.

The town covers 20.98 square miles and is 22 miles south of Boston and 14 miles east of Brockton. In 1950 the population was 2,515 people, and in 1960 had increased to 5,207 people, an increase of 107%, one of the largest percentage increases in the State of Massachusetts. In 1965 the population was 6,387, which indicates that although slightly down on an annual average the population growth is substantial. Population in 1971 is 8,249.

The town was settled in 1634 and in 1888 adopted its name from Henry

Norwell, a prominent summer resident. It has a Town Meeting form of government with a Moderator, Board of Selectmen, Board of Assessors, Planning Board, Town

Clerk, Treasurer and Highway Surveyor.

Three main roads run through the town; Routes 53 (formerly Route 3), Route

123, and the newly-relocated Route 3 (known as the Southeast Expressway). The

Plymouth and Brockton Street Railway serves the town with four buses daily, 5 days a week, with service to points north and terminating in the City of Boston.

Public utilities available in the town are: Electric power by The Brockton Edison

Company, gas by The Brockton-Taunton Gas Company, telephone service by the

New England Telephone Company, and the Town has its own water department.

SELECTMEN'S ANNUAL REPORT

As taxpayers and voters, we must put a damper on Town expenditures. Nor- well's operating expenses, salaries, debt and interest payments are spiraling higher each year: YEAR SPENT INCREASE 1972 $4,469,573.00 $886,459.00 1971 3,583,114.00 477,589.00 1970 3,105,525.00 381,544.00

The interest and principal payments on the new High School less the 65% reim- bursement which the Town hopes to receive on the 1973 Cherry Sheet will add ap- proximately one million dollars to the money the Town must raise for the next eighteen months under Article 2 before any money is raised for operating expenses or capital outlay.

Despite the hope that some of our new capital expenditures might have been postponed and scheduled for later years, 1972 was another big year of new pro- jects approved:

— New Library — New Library program room addition

— Tree Warden — site and garage

— Sparrell School renovation plans

— New bulldozer garage at dump

We will be asked to vote in 1973 for:

— New Town Hall addition — Golf Course with swimming pool and other recreational facilities

And, last but not least:

— State Law requires that towns convert to a new fiscal year basis running from July 1st to June 30th, which means an 18- month budget must be appropriated at this March Town Meeting.

The Fiscal Cycle Bill brings counties, cities and towns into conformity with the fiscal cycle of the Federal and State Governments and after this 18-month transi- tional period will operate in the following manner:

1. Improve budget procedures: OLD NEW CALENDAR YEAR BASIS FISCAL YEAR BASIS

Budgets approved at March Town Budgets approved at March Town Meeting. Meeting.

Expenditures begin 3 lA months be- Expenditures begin 2 lA months after fore approval of the budget — on approval of the budget — on January 1st. July 1st. Having a final approved budget before the expenditures for the year begin will re- duce the guess work in figuring how much money will be available and will elimi- nate the problem of retroactive pay increases.

2. Establish semi-annual property tax payments: OLD NEW CALENDAR YEAR BASIS FISCAL YEAR BASIS

This results in an extra six months exemption for property taxpayers on such new construction when compared with the present calendar year basis.

The Fiscal Cycle Bill, however, will require adjustments in our planning and ap- propriations at our March 1973 Annual Meeting.

1. All budgets will be figured for 18 months, to run from January 1973 to June 30, 1974.

2. Tax bills will be mailed out for 18 months (covering January 1, 1973 to June 30, 1974. Two-thirds of this tax bill (January 1, 1973 to January 1,

1974) must be paid November 1, 1973. One-third of this bill (January 1, 1974 to June 30, 1974) is now scheduled for payment April 1, 1974.

3. Some Town expenses can be budgeted for 18 months at 150% of their 12- month figure. Other budgets, such as snow and ice removal, or heating costs, which occur mostly in December, January, February and March, will necessi- tate a two-year budget for this 18-month period.

4. Because of many unknown or difficult-to-estimate expenses, when looking ahead, such as:

— New High School operation and staff - no estimate available,

— New Library operation and staff - already estimated at $65,000.00.

— Cost-of-living increases,

— Problems of our dump operation,

the Town's free cash, Stabilization Fund and Reserve Fund should be increased — not expended — to insure against unforeseen expenses in the last six-month

period (January 1, 1974 to June 30, 1974). No funds can be raised from tax sources, even though needed, after the March, 1973 Town Meeting until the new fiscal year begins in July, 1974.

This past Fall your Selectmen visited the Sudbury Town Engineer, discussed his programs and saw his office and planning room. We are putting an article in the 1973 Annual Town Warrant for approval of a Town Engineer for Norwell, with proper financial appropriations to support this new position. We are confident from our studies that such an appointment will:

— probably cost no more than the Town now pays in total to the different engineers, engineering firms and surveyors used independently by our various committees.

— coordinate the engineering work and recommendations of the different Town Departments more efficiently and effectively.

— develop better communications between such departments as our Highway, Water and Drainage Departments and eliminate some of the delays and dis- agreements we have experienced for many years past in getting work for these departments completed.

— develop and maintain central survey, planning and aerial map layouts of the whole Town, all of which are much needed by our Conservation and Planning Boards, as well as the departments mentioned above.

Your Selectmen ask the voters to consider seriously this long-time need and give approval to a new Town Engineer and his budget requirements at the coming March Town Meeting.

Norwell's Chapter 90 Highway Reconstruction Program received a setback in

1972. This is the arrangement whereby the Town accepts County-engineered lay- outs on approved highways in the Town. In return, the State reimburses Norwell 50% and the County reimburses Norwell 25% for any approved reconstruction work on such approved layouts. Norwell voters rejected the Norwell Avenue layout in 1971 and at a hearing on a High Street Layout, rejected this street also. Therefore, our Town was unable to qualify for any Chapter 90 funds in 1972.

The Selectmen have applied for our share of Chapter 90 funds for 1973 and 1974 to be used for several projects already tentatively approved by the County

- 7 - and at voter hearings:

— Resurfacing work on River and Main Streets

- Resurfacing of Pond Street

- Reconstruction, jointly with Hanover, of Mill Street Bridge.

— Reconstruction of Mill Street.

With Hanover's closing of Pond Street, the reconstruction of Mill Street Bridge is vital to Norwell residents.

The State has passed a supplementary Highway Aid Bill, which will approximate- ly double each town's Chapter 90 allotments over the next five years. We hope to be able to take advantage of these extra funds for our roadway reconstruction work, as outlined above, and have made such application.

The State also augmented Chapter 90 benefits with new funds for the recon- struction of unsafe traffic areas which may be situated on approved Chapter 90 layed out roads. Such work will be eligible for 100% reimbursement under Chapter 87. We have already applied for and had approval from the State and County for re- construction of that very accident-prone intersection of Old Oaken Bucket Road, Norwell Avenue and Central Street. This reconstruction will also correct the drain- age problems we have had at this spot. The work will start as soon as the details can be completed.

1972 was the first year of a five-year street lighting improvement plan. Each year beginning with 1972 and ending with 1976, a number of the out-moded incandes- cent street lights will be converted to a new style mercury street light which greatly improves the visibility and safety of our highways. Each year, also, a scheduled number of mercury vapor lights will be installed in new needed locations. This whole program was worked out by the Brockton Edison Area Lighting Engineer in conjunction with Town Safety Officer Baldwin, Highway Surveyor Joseph and the

Selectmen. Adequate lighting is a vital part of accident and vandalism control at night.

Ten years ago a program of house and street numbering was voted by the Select- men, to be done by a volunteer force of voters. The work stopped before comple- tion several years ago. With our new State Law ordering the division of the Town into three new voting districts (no such district to exceed 4,000 population) a com-

panion ruling required the numbering of all houses on the Town's accepted road- ways. This numbering project has now been completed for the entire Town.

The Selectmen also, per State directive, have redistricted Norwell into three

election precincts to be effective January 1, 1973. The boundaries of these three new precincts are outlined below:

Precinct 1 - Everything west of Precinct 2.

Precinct 2 - Northern border is the Hingham Town Line.

Western border is a line made by and including the following: Prospect Street from the Hingham Line to Jacobs Lane (including Walnut Street), Jacobs Lane, Main Street from Jacobs Lane to the Third Herring Brook, thence following the Third Herring Brook from Main Street to South Street intersection.

- Southern border - the North River from the Third Herring Brook to the Southeast Expressway.

- 8 - - Eastern Border - a line made by, but not including the following:

Mt. Blue Street from Hingham Line to Lincoln Street, thence Lincoln Street from Mt. Blue Street to Main Street, thence Main Street from Lincoln Street to the Second Herring Brook, thence the Second Herring Brook from Main Street to the North River, thence the North River from the Second Herring Brook to the Southeast Expressway.

Precinct 3 — Everything east of Precinct 2.

One responsibility of the Selectmen is to summarize for Norwell voters the cur- rent standing of all legal cases against or on behalf of the Town which are pending, or were completed in this calendar year. Our Town Counsel reports the following:

At the start of 1972, there were nine (9) cases pending in the Massachusetts Su- perior Court in which the Town of Norwell had a substantial interest. During the year ten (10) additional cases involving the Town were commenced in the Superior Court. Three Superior Court cases were settled during the year.

The plaintiff has not taken action to have the case against the town brought to trial.

- 23 - ANNUAL REPORT - 1972 BOARD OF ASSESSORS

To the Board of Selectmen Town of Norwell

Gentlemen:

The Board of Assessors herewith submits its Annual Report for the year, 1972.

Our chief area of interest is the revaluation of the Town by the firm, Whipple, Magane & Darcy, Inc.

At this writing, the revaluation process is 96% complete. The remaining 4% con- sists mainly of (1) change in ownership of those properties transferred during the last two months of 1972, (2) the notification to property owners of their new val- uation, (3) hearings by Whipple, Magane & Darcy, Inc., to be held by owners' re- quest and (4) the computerized runoff of final valuations.

The Assessors have adopted a "hands off policy regarding the dollar amounts of individual valuations. It has confined its supervision to the area of progress of the project and is happy to report that all categories of the contractual work have been filled in a more than satisfactory manner. The Board, at this time, has not seen the individual proposed valuations, and will not see them until all hearings have been completed and final adjustments have been made.

The foremost question in the minds of taxpayers is, "How much will it cost me for real estate taxes?". The answer is based upon several factors; the most important being the amount of money voted to spend at Town Meeting. This, of course, is greatly controlled by the taxpayer, himself, when he casts his vote at Town Meeting. These voted amounts, in turn, determine the tax rate to be arrived at. In other words, what is spent at Town Meeting must be paid for with real estate taxes.

From the gross amount to be raised is deducted the anticipated income from all sources, leaving the net amount to be raised by taxation. The total valuation of the

Town is then divided into this net amount, the result being the tax rate.

Therefore, the three major factors determining what is paid in taxes are:

(1) amount spent, (2) valuation and (3) tax rate. What is spent is the controlling factor. If the valuation goes up, the tax rate goes down, because these two items are a means of satisfying the demands of spending. Please exercise your major element of control — Spend wisely.

Respectfully submitted,

Board ofAssessors

- 26 REPORT OF THE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER

The Emergency Communications Center continues to operate in the Town Hall and will shortly begin its fourteenth year of around the clock coverage.

During the past year, January 1, 1972 through December 31, 1972, the following calls were processed:

Police 15,800 Fire 7,401 Town 8,149 Miscellaneous 9,925

Total 41,275

Ambulance runs are arranged through the Center and this year there were 105 such runs.

The three permanent firefighters have been trained as operators and are avail- able for duty in the Center when it does not interfere with their Fire Department work.

The Communications Center is also responsible for radio messages for the High- way, Tree and Water Departments and is a general information source for the cit- izens of the Town, passing motorists and delivery men.

The operators of the Communications Center will continue to be of service to anyone who calls, whether it be an emergency or not. EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS BOARD W. Clarke Atwater Kenneth J. Bradeen Warren P. Merritt

CAPITAL BUDGET COMMITTEE REPORT

One of the basic objectives of the Capital Budget Committee is to analyze the impact of capital expenditure requests on the current and future financial standing of the town and its effect on the taxpayers. In order to do this we have continued to interview the various boards and committees in town who are responsible for initiating these expenditure requests to determine their financial need and priorities for the future. While we are quite pleased with the increasing success of having these departments think and plan now for their future capital expenditures, our interviews also have shown that there is still a need for more orderly and definitive financial planning. In our report which will be published prior to the annual town meeting, we will go into detail concerning current and future capital appropriation requests and their subsequent impact on the tax rate. However, we believe a better under- standing of the future financial status of the town can be gained by a close look at the past and a full realization of the current situation. We take this opportunity to expand on a few key indicators of Norwell's present financial status.

Chart I depicts the rapid increase in total budget appropriations and the con- sequent increase in the property tax levy. It is important to note that the approp- riations shown reflect, along with the general operating expenses, only the principal and interest payments made that year on bonds outstanding. As shown in the chart, appropriations in 1972 increased significantly. However, the major impact of the principal and interest payments on the bonds for the new high school does not appear in 1972, but will occur in 1973, as shown in Chart 2. !

Total bonded debt outstanding on January 1, 1973 was more than four times the amount outstanding in the town's recent history. (This amount does not reflect the bonding of the new library voted at the special town meeting.

Where does the money come from to pay for these expenditures? Primarily from money raised by the property tax levy, which has been increasing much more rapidly than has the total assessed valuation, with an obvious result: An increasing tax rate

It is clear that we must control our expenditures by exercising our best judge- ment in considering requests for new or increased appropriations, if we are to pre- vent an intolerable increase in our tax rate.

During 1972 the Capital Budget Committee also developed a format for present- ing in one article those recurring capital expenditures (such as town vehicles, high- way resurfacing, etc.) that are non-critical (in terms of their financial impact). This capital expense article will appear in the 1973 Town Meeting Warrant as Article 3.

REPORT OF THE LEONARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY

The Leonard Memorial Library has introduced several new services to aid our readers in gaining more enjoyment than ever from their public library. In addition to the pre-school story hours, nursing home deliveries, Eastern Mass. Regional bookmobile selections, interlibrary loans and no fines, we have added two special Boston Public Library services of xerox copies of magazine articles and aid in reference research. It has been most gratifying to see the large numbers of people taking advantage of these innovations.

We are eagerly looking forward to the long awaited opening of the new Norwell Public Library.

The Trustees wish to thank most sincerely Chief Merritt and the men of Combi- nation #2 of the Fire Department for their kind consideration during the year.

Our report would not be complete without expressing our profound apprecia- tion to the staff, Mrs. Frances Wilkie, Mrs. Ellen Wilder, Mrs. Ruth Rowan and Miss Chris Rowan. It was with deep regret that we accepted the resignation of Mrs. Patty Merritt who served faithfully for many years.

Respectfully submitted,

30 1972 REPORT OF THE NORWELL HOUSING AUTHORITY

Board of Selectmen:

The Norwell Housing Authority was elected for the first time in March 1972. It had been incorporated, under a state charter, in 1971.

The Authority sought out sites for the much needed construction of housing for the elderly. Six sites were submitted to the state for their review. At present, two sites are receiving serious consideration by the Commonwealth, Department of Community Affairs.

It is anticipated that site approval by the state will come about in early 1973. State representatives have been to Norwell on three occasions to meet with us and view the proposed sites.

Respectfully submitted,

Mary Jane Petze, Chairman Loring L. Jacobs Dorothy M. Dickson Charles Morgan Richard Mills

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEALS

The Board of Appeals reports the handling and disposition of eighteen cases in the year 1972. Of this number, 7 were requests for variances and 1 1 were requests for special permits. The above figures do not represent the number of informal actions and inquiries answered relative to various aspects of the zoning by-laws.

Due to new strictures placed by the Legislature regarding notices, the costs of notices rose sharply in the year 1972.

To accommodate those parties seeking advice of the Board of Appeals, the Board has instituted a monthly meeting open to the public, at which all inquiries made will be taken up.

Respectfully submitted, Robert M. Broderick, Esq., Chairman Sanborn Vincent Robert Maglathlin

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD

To the Citizens of Norwell:

As the Town grows each year is busier than the last for the Planning Board. In 1972 five new subdivisions were submitted, one consisting of only two lots, and four consisting of over twenty lots. The Board was also supervising thirty-seven active subdivisions begun in previous years. The new ones were as follows:

DeLuze 2 lots Stoney Brook Cove 23 lots Mt. Blue 33 lots Cuffy Hill

Wildcat Section I 21 lots

31 n

The Planning Board, with the assistance of E. Arnold Joseph, Work Supervisor,

is in charge of insuring that all subdivisions are planned and constructed in accord- ance with the Rules and Regulations of the Town of Norwell, adopted under the Subdivision Control Law, General Laws, Chapter 41, Sections 81K through 81GG. New Rules and Regulations under the Subdivision Control Law were adopted by the Board and became effective on January 1, 1972.

The Saturday morning inspection tours, instituted last year, were continued this year, being held on the first Saturday after the first meeting of each month. The Board walks those active subdivisions or other lands the Board deems necessary and

all other Town Officials and interested parties are invited to attend.

The Board has done extensive work on Flood Plain and Wetland Zoning, and is in the process of investigating the cost and efficacy of an aerial survey and mapping of the Town for determining the Flood Plain and Wetland areas. Until these Flood

Plains and Wetlands are clearly delineated, it is extremely difficult to regulate devel- opment in areas in which such development poses a threat to the health and safety of persons and property, and to the water supply and watershed areas of the Town.

Zoning By-Law amendments have been drafted for consideration of the Town Meeting. These were submitted at the last Special Town Meeting and postponed because further discussion was deemed valuable. A public hearing and meetings with the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Selectmen will be held before resubmittal of these articles at the next Annual Town Meeting.

The Official Town Map was accepted at the last Annual Town Meeting, and has proven an invaluable aid in determining the status of roads and ways within the Town.

A new filing system was set up for greater efficiency of the Board.

In March the Board reorganized as follows:

Roy R. Richardson, Chairman William Bernardi, Vice-Chairman

Robert R. Reed, Clerk Wilbur L. Garside, Jr.

William F. Frado, Jr.

The Planning Board meets in the Town Hall Lobby every Monday night. Appointments are taken for the first, third, and fifth Monday nights, and meetings with other boards, committees, and commissions as well as special consultants are held the second and fourth Monday nights. The second and fourth Monday nights the Board also works on Zoning By-Law changes, Flood Plain and Wetland Zoning, long range planning, and other special projects.

The Planning Board also reviews plans for house lots on established ways which do not come under the rules and regulations of the Subdivision Control Law, but

which must be endorsed by the Planning Board if they meet zoning requirements. During 1972, thirty-four of these plans were endorsed.

The Planning Board intends to work next year on:

1. Flood Plain and Wetland Zoning. 2. Further updating of the Zoning By-Law. 3. Study of the feasibility of cluster zoning and planned unit development.

Respectfully submitted: The Norwell Planning Board.

32 REPORT OF THE GOLF COURSE COMMITTEE

The golf course committee met regularly during the year and also held several joint meetings with the recreation commission. At one of the joint meetings, Charles T. Main Inc. was selected as architect to develop a scope plan to provide room for other recreational facilities at the Stetson Meadows site.

The recreation director and golf committee met with a Dept. of Natural Re- sources agent at the state office building to explore the possibility of state or federal aid for this project.

It is the hope of this committee that the citizens of Norwell will utilize the Stetson Meadows Golf Course as the cornerstone of a recreational program for the town.

REPORT OF THE VETERANS' AGENT AND SERVICE OFFICER

To be eligible for Veterans' Benefits, a veteran must have military service credited to Massachusetts, or resided, at the time of entry into the service, in Massachusetts, or meet subsequent residence requirements. If the veteran did not reside in Massachusetts at the time of entry into service, then he or she must have resided continuously in Massachusetts for three consecutive years next preceeding the date of application. During certain periods of "wartime service" a length of time in service is required, except for those who served for any time and were awarded a ser- vice-connected disability or Purple Heart, or dependents of those who died in service of conditions other than dishonorable. The above "wartime service" goes back on the General Laws of Massachusetts to Civil War Days and continues through to our Vietnam Veterans. It includes also different insurrections, expeditions, and camp- aigns, besides the wars. If any veteran feels that they are eligible for benefits, they should get in touch with this depratment. A definite need must be present and all other means must be exhausted before aid can be given.

This year, although unemployment has risen, we have been able to stay within the budget. Many have been helped with various forms for eligibility for home loans or educational purposes. Widows and children have received pensions and those in the hospital have been given non-service connected pensions. All these and more, are helped through this department. Please get in touch with this department if you have any questions.

Respectfully submitted, Dorothy M. Dickson

- 33 REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR

To the Citizens of Norwell:

I hereby submit my annual report for the Highway Department for the year, 1972.

The Highway Department had a very busy Spring, mostly because of the heavy rains. We had occasional flooding of roadways, but eventually the master drainage study will eliminate some of these problems. We have had a great many complaints from homeowners whose homes are in low lying land. The rains raised the water level and those houses built in lowland have had considerable trouble and this will continue whenever the water table is high. I do not believe the water table is back to the maximum height. This points up the need for stricter control on individual lots that are being constructed in lowlands that are seasonably swampy. Unfortu- nately, new home owners are unaware of this situation.

We have kept all existing street drains open during the year. It was necessary to pick up a great amount of leaves from the trenches. In the past we were able to burn them in the open trenches. We have had to treat the ice covered trenches and driveway culverts with salt to keep them open. I would like to point out that this salt is the only chemical available for treating the trenches and culverts. We also hired a large Vac-All to clean catch basins this year. This machine vacuums out and flushed the catch basins, which have been filled by sand and debris from the road- ways.

The street sweeper has proved to do an excellent job in keeping the roadways clean of excess sand. Every street in Norwell was done twice, and those that were surfaced or re-surfaced were done three or four times. Most of the street sweepings

were hauled to the sanitary landfill site.

During the early part of the summer the Highway Department installed a drain- age system up Wildcat Lane to the intersection of Green and Pine Streets, and up Pine Street as far as Tara Drive. This work was done in conjunction with the Drain- age Committee. This work was long overdue because of dangerous flooding condi- tions there, which froze during the winter months.

Unfortunately, during the year 1972, the Town of Norwell lost its Chapter 90 money because we had no accepted layouts. We are hopeful that in 1973 we will have Chapter 90 money available for partial reconstruction of Pond Street (Route 228) and Main Street (Route 123). We are also anticipating a layout of the inter- section at South and Mill Streets, which will possibly include a bridge culvert. We expect to receive money from Chapter 765 too.

In 1972 we had Chapter 497 funds which were used in conjunction with Town funds for resurfacing. Portions of River Street, High Street, West Street, South

Street, Winter Street, and Pine Street were surfaced with Type I. Due to an ex- ceptionally wet summer we did not do any mix in place work. We ask your con- tinued support to carry out our resurfacing program. This year we are requesting $50,000.00 for this work.

We went over the Chapter 81 roads with the Selectmen and the Department of

Public Works, and the roads that needed it the most were oiled. This is part of our annual preventative maintenance program. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Public Works contributes approximately $15,000.00 out of the $20,000.00 spent on this work.

- 34 - As in the past all materials and equipment were put out to bid, and the bids are on file at the Town Accountant's office.

The following is a partial list of materials used by the Highway Department dur- ing 1972: salt - 3026 tons, sand - 4700 yards, gravel - 100 yards, Type I Hot Top — 3161 tons, roadway oil surface sealer - 52,000 gallons, paint - 459 gallons, reflector glass beads — 1655 pounds, concrete pipe - 1660 feet, all weather patch — 615 tons, guard rail posts - 55, metal street signs — approximately 220, and so on and on. The Highway Department also picked approximately 250 yards of road- side litter this year.

All during the year we are doing maintenance work, street patching, replacing guard rail posts that have been knocked down, installing and maintaining approved speed zone signs, along with a monthly food run and helping other departments as much as possible, etc.

We are all trying to adjust to the new eighteen month budget, which covers from

January 1, 1973 through June 30, 1974. This is going to be a trying period for all departments. We are only requesting $5000.00 under the Capital Expenditures under the new Article 3, and this is for a new pick-up truck. We also have some new approved speed zone regulations which we hope to implement when the funds are available. Our budget is cut to the bone and I ask your support of my budget as requested.

1973 is going to see increased highway utility work. We are expecting the New England Telephone Co. to run underground conduits the entire length of River and Main Streets. The Water Board will be tying in new water mains and services. The Gas Co. will be renewing some lines and installing new lines and services.

I wish to express my sincere thanks for the cooperation of all town officers, the various committees, the town departments, and the citizens of Norwell with whom

I have had the pleasure of working with this past year.

I would also like to say that we are most grateful for the assistance of the De- partment of Public Works at the Middleboro District 7 office. Without their help and cooperation, our Chapter 81 maintenance work, on all Norwell roads and street painting of Routes 123 and 228 would not have been possible. They also do all the engineering work for the plans if a layout is accepted.

I must also thank the County Commissioners for all the work they did preparing street layouts for Chapter 90 work, even though none were accepted.

Sincerely,

E. Arnold Joseph Highway Surveyor

ANNUAL REPORT - 1972 CONSERVATION COMMISSION

For a number of years, the Conservation Commission has been working princi- pally to acquire land and to protect the natural resources and the watershed areas of the Town. It looks now as though our big acquisition of Valley Swamp would be completed during this year, thus ending that which has been a time-consuming and complicated action. In accordance with the State Law, the Conservation Commission has held two public hearings under the Hatch Act in an effort to clear up certain questions as to building and/or filling on questionable land. It is of interest to note that, as of October 16, 1972, the Jones Act, dealing with tidal land and water, was combined with the Hatch Act.

The Commission finds that it must remain constantly alert to the danger of surreptitious filling and destruction of the wetlands and brooks which are such a vital part of our natural resources.

Boulders with markers have been placed at the Main Street and Central Street entrances to the land presented to the Town by Mrs. Isabella Fogg and Miss Helen Fogg. Certainly, we are very grateful to the Foggs for such a generous gift to the

Town. It is hoped that as many as can will take the opportunity to walk through the area and see how very lovely it is, especially in the springtime.

The Commission has been advised of and is closely following certain proposed developments in several areas of the Town. In some cases, we can only regret that more land and trees are to be lost to building and "hardtop". In other cases, we have indicated our fears of the danger that would seem to be forthcoming to cer- tain wetlands and inland waters, and have taken those steps which we considered necessary.

During this year, too, the Town has been fortunate in that we have been able to purchase a piece of land of about 33 acres which will help to preserve some green belt along a portion of the First Herring Brook.

Since February, 1972, the Conservation Commission has been holding their regular first-Thursday-of-the-month meetings at the Town Hall and we have been fortunate in that we have been able to hold those meetings in the Selectmen's office. These are expected to continue in the same schedule.

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph P. Parades Norwell Conservation Commission

As the Inspector of Animals for the Town of Norwell, I have completed my duties for 1972 and report as follows:

Inspected barns and reported same to the State.

- 36 - REPORT OF THE BUILDING INSPECTOR

Board of Selectmen Norwell, Massachusetts

Gentlemen:

Building permits issued in 1972 decreased slightly, mainly in the number of new dwellings: 47 less than last year. The total number of permits issued showed a drop of 36. However, the number of additions and swimming pools increased, keeping the overall total to over 200 inspections for the year.

- 37 - POLICE DEPARTMENT

Board of Selectmen Town Hall Norwell, Mass. Gentlemen:

We are again indebted to you and to the Citizens of Norwell for your continued support and cooperation. Our 1972 statistics generally are consistent with national trends. Arrest figures are somewhat lower, but social-economic related problems

show a marked increase. It is encouraging to note that narcotic cases have decreased 20% below 1971.

Experience has pointed out the need to put our Safety-Juvenile Officer on a full- time basis instead of an extra-curricular activity. Our budget reflects the addition of a full-time officer to give us this latitude. Considerable savings in overtime will be realized. We wish to publicly thank Wolfe-Sullivan, Hingham Plymouth dealer for supplying a Safety-Car at no cost to the town.

Again may we urge any citizen with a police problem to contact us. We will be

happy to discuss it with you.

The following is a partial list of our activities for 1972: 1971 1972 1971 1972

Arrests 750 657 M. V. Violations 901 904 Narcotic cases 68 55 Vandalism 137 157 Court Complaints 1147 1007 Ambulance Runs 198 201 Drunkeness 52 68 Auto Accidents 248 252 Forgery 22 24 Missing Persons 28 19 Family Trouble 65 180 Prowlers 34 38 Warrants 108 124 Emergency Messages 137 37

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH

Again this year, this will be a short report because the Board has been so busv.

Forty-eight percent of our TIME has been devoted to sewage applications, ob- viously a necessity in a year of record rainfall.

Another forty-eight percent has been used in TRYING TO conform reasonably well with the State Law pertaining to Sanitary Landfill operation.

The other four percent is spread out supervising the School and other Public Health programs, "consulting" with other Boards of the Town, handling complaints of various sorts and planning for the "Miss Dump" contest. We regret to report that the 1972 contest had to be cancelled when our candidate was kidnapped from her hillside perch at the Dump.

Respectfully submitted, Arthur J. Garceau, M. D. {Catherine R. Fuller, Chairman Chester G. Horte, Secretary REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

The following calls were processed during the period from January 1, 1972 through December 31, 1972.

Since July 1, 1972, when they began their duties, the permanent fire-fighters have handled 123 calls during the daytime hours. They have tested and recorded all hydrants in the Town and have set up and maintained a service schedule on all Fire Department equipment, apparatus and buildings.

At this writing a Red Cross First Aid Course, conducted by Firefighter

Gerald Flemming, is being completed.

Several more firemen have attended the Cardiac Resuscitation Course at the South Shore Hospital.

Land for a future fire station in the Church Hill area has been acquired by the Town.

The Board of Fire Engineers is requesting in the Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting, another permanent fire-fighter. At present we have one man on duty Saturdays and Sundays and an additional man will give coverage for vacations and better coverage for fire duties and ambulance runs.

May we again commend the citizens of Norwell for their continuing cooperation and efforts in fire prevention. BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS

Warren P. Merritt, Chief Loring L. Wadsworth, Deputy James T. King, Clerk Orville E. Devine Lloyd R. Farrar T. Curtis Power John J. Winske REPORT OF THE JACOBS POND COMMISSION

Since last March the Jacobs Pond Commission has investigated some dozen possible methods of reclaiming the pond. To our view, any successful project must be based on three factors. First, it must be economically feasible, second, it must be accomplished within a reasonable amount of time, and lastly, the reclamation must be of a long lasting nature. Some of the methods we investigated, like lake-bottom sealing, aeration and biological control, clearly did not apply to Jacobs Pond. The shallowness of the pond precluded using the drawdown method of weed control. Some success has been had with draining a pond and allowing it to dry out. How- ever, since the draining is done in the fall on a yearly basis, the Commission felt that the resultant loss of a skating facility, plus the loss of the capability to provide fishing negated this method. Chemical treatment seemed appealing on the basis of cost. On closer analysis, however, we found that there was no guarantee that it would not have to be done every year, which would make the overall costs higher. There was the possibility of contamination of the watershed area, and there is a residue of metals left in the sediment. Finally, we became aware that in many cases chemical treatment did not improve the water quality, nor in all cases did it clean the pond of weeds. Deepening the pond, either by dredging or by removing the sediment after draining, seems to us to be the most ideal to reclaim the pond. How- ever, at this time the costs seem far too high. We are investigating methods of mak- ing this method economically feasible. Harvesting the pond by mechanical means is the latest method that the Commission has investigated. At this time the final results are not available to the Commission but we hope to be able to present you with more facts at Town meeting.

We are pleased to report, on a more concrete level, that the pond is not at this time grossly polluted by sewage. We, along with various agencies of the Common- wealth have taken many water samples over the summer. Water samples taken by the Commission and analyzed at Lakeville Hospital by the Department of Public Health and samples taken and analyzed by the Division of Water Pollution Control show total coliform counts to not exceed 2400, with the fecal coliforms generally showing as 36 or less. Also shown in the chemical analysis are nutrient counts far below what we had expected, in fact, there was no nitrogen or ammonia count, and the phosphate count was comparable to the Swift River below the Quabbin Re- servoir. In conclusion, it seems to the Commission that while the water in Jacobs

Pond is not usable as a source of drinking water, it certainly fits the description of a

Class B waterway and as such, can be used for recreational purposes, if it is re- claimed from the weeds.

REPORT OF THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COUNCIL (MAPC)

The Metropolitan Area Planning Council is The Greater Boston Regional Plan- ning Agency in which Norwell is one of the 101 communities in the district. The

Area served is comprised of Cities and Towns within a 25 mile radius of Downtown Boston and encompasses over half the population of Massachusetts. The MAPC through involvements of citizens and public officials in the Planning process seeks the implementation of regional solutions to present and emerging problems which threatens the quality of the Human Environment.

Some of the accomplishments to these ends during the past year are the com- pletion and presentation at the Governor's Conference on Natural Resources of the "Boston Harbor Islands Comprehensive Plan"; The "Metropolitan Forum" to dis- cuss the mechanisms for the implementation of Regional Plans and Programs and the establishment of the Joint Regional Transportation Committee which will coordinate and review all Transportation Planning of various State Agencies.

- 40 - The MAPC is continuing its efforts to assist in developing Sub-Regional Planning Districts for Water, Sewer and Solid Waste Disposal. This year has seen the Publica- tion of its report on "Capital Improvement Alternatives for Water Supply and Water Pollution Control in the Boston Metropolitan Area" which describes three alternative approaches to a Sewer System in the West End of Norwell and discusses the need for the same by 1975. Members of the Staff of MAPC will be participating in the Quarterly Meeting in January to discuss solid waste disposal and the alterna- tives that Norwell faces in meeting its future needs.

All of the Reports and Documents of The MAPC are available for loan through your Representative to any Town Official or interested citizen. Any planning prob- lems or concerns of Town Committees or Boards are most welcome to be discussed by your Representative as it is only through maintaining close liaison that Norwell can most benefit and keep abreast of new developments and planning by the MAPC and other State and Federal Agencies. As an elected Member of the Council's Executive Committee; and as an appointed member of the Council's Budget, Pro- gram, Transportation and Open Space and Recreation Committee's; and as a mem- ber of the Joint Regional Transportation Committee your Representative is in

close contact with the operations of the MAPC and is in a position to and willing to assist any planning effort in the Town.

Respectfully submitted, Richard K. McMuWan, Representative To The Metropolitan Area Planning Council.

- 41 - PERMANENT BUILDING AND MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE REPORT - 1972

1972 has proven to be the most active year in the history of the Town of Norwell from the point of view of municipal construction. Consequently, the Per- manent Building and Maintenance Committee (PBMC) has had by far its most active year since its birth some years ago.

The most significant project, of course, is the construction of the new Norwell Senior High School. As of December 31, 1972, the School was about 57% com-

pleted. It is hoped that the School will be ready for occupancy by September, 1973, but, at this point, it is very difficult to estimate whether this is possible. We hoped to be closer to 70% completed by year-end 1972 but some bad weather plus other factors beyond our control have forced us to be behind schedule. A good Spring could very well allow us to overcome the lag.

As an important adjunct to the High School Project, the PBMC voted to retain the architectural firm of Rich, Lang and Cote as the Furnishings Consultant. The

~ • working closely with the PBMC, the School Administration and the I I I ' consultant, Superintendent of Public Grounds has recommended a furnishings and equipment

list which we feel is consistent with both the program requirements and the total ' I . project budget. The cost of furnishing the School will be in the vicinity of

$450,000. While this is a large sum of money, it is less than "average" for a building project of this magnitude. Incidentally, our prior statement that the "turn-key", or total, price of the High School would be between $7.8 million and $8.0 million appears to be fairly accurate.

Another major school project has begun. At the October, 1972, Special Town Meeting, the Town voted to authorize the PBMC to investigate the cost of renovat- ing and converting the Sparrell Junior High School to an Elementary School. The PBMC interviewed several architects and voted to retain the firm of Drummey, Rosane and Anderson for just that purpose. We will be presenting some specific cost data at the Annual March Meeting so the townspeople can determine the fea- sibility of the renovation and conversion. Such action, at this point, appears to be the wisest alternative in light of the pressing need for additional classroom space.

The Town voted at our Annual Town Meeting in March to secure a six-acre site off of the South Drive of the new High School for construction of a new library. At this same meeting, the funding for preliminary plans was provided with an instruc- tion that the PBMC make an early completion of this phase. Accordingly, the PBMC called a Special Town Meeting for October 25 where preliminary plans and specifications were approved and the project was funded at $370,000. The current schedule calls for construction to begin in the Spring of 1973 with completion an- ticipated in the winter of 1974.

We are also working on, or have completed, four other projects. The Town voted monies to erect a small shed at the Town Dump to house the Board of Health's bulldozer. This project has been completed to the satisfaction of both the PBMC and the Board of Health. We are presently putting together plans for a building to house the equipment needed to tend the grounds at the new High School. This building is to be located on a plot of land adjacent to the High School and will be under the jurisdiction of the Superintendent of Public Grounds.

We put the final touches on the Police Station project and are happy to report that between $20,000 and $25,000 of the funds appropriated for this project were

- 42 - not expended. Finally, we took another look at the possibility of adding an addi- tion to the existing Town Hall. This is a very complicated project and one on which the PBMC feels no action can or should be taken without additional monies and direction. We will discuss this problem more prior to and at the 1973 Annual Town Meeting.

In summary, 1972 has been rather hectic. Without the extraordinary dedication of the PBMC members and the Clerk of the Works at the new High School con- struction site, Mr. W. Howard Pease, the PBMC simply could not have carried out its obligations to the Town properly. I would, at this time, like to express my sin- cere thanks to the Committee Members and many Town Officials who have done more than their fair share to help the PBMC with its many projects. 1973 will prove to be as busy but will very likely see the completion of the new High School, the renovation of the Sparrell School, the completion of the building on South Street, and a good start on the Library project.

The PBMC extends an invitation to all townspeople to attend its regular meet- ings. Your advice and comments would be most appreciated.

REPORT OF THE PERMANENT DRAINAGE COMMITTEE

During 1972 the Master Drainage Study was completed and a report was written by our consultants Camp, Dresser & McKee. A number of copies of this report have been given to various committees, boards, and other governmental agencies. Many

meetings were held with the consultant and all known drainage problems were dis-

cussed and the committee is most appreciative of the time and efforts of Mr. E. Arn- old Joseph whose intimate knowledge of these problems was invaluable. Existing drainage plans were reviewed and field surveys were made by Loring H. Jacobs & Associates, Inc. The report defines the three major watersheds of the town as well

as all of the streams and brooks. It will serve as an accurate guide in the study of the

effects of all proposed subdivision drainage plans. Recommendations are made in the report for repair and improvements which must be made to our existing drainage

system. Some of this work should be done as soon as possible, while it will be pos-

sible to delay some of it until the future development of the town takes place. The

total work is estimated to cost over two million dollars at present day prices and of course could cost several times that amount as the price of construction is rising steadily. The Permanent Drainage Committee plans to work closely with the Capital Budget Committee and the Advisory Board in just how the money for this work will be raised and expended.

1972 was also one of the most ambitious construction years for the committee and a great deal of work was done in conjunction with the Highway Department.

- 43 - Catch basins, manholes and drain pipes were installed in Pine Street, Wildcat Lane and Leigh Road, two culverts were installed in Mt. Blue Street, three culverts were installed in Pleasant Street and larger single culverts were built at both Tiffany Road and Parker Street while other drainage work was done on River Street.

As usual, a number of plans for proposed subdivisions were reviewed and recom- mendations were made to the Planning Board regarding them, and of course numerous complaints and problems were investigated.

44 1972 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE NORWELL RECREATION COMMISSION

To the people of Norwell:

1972 has been a year of growing and adjusting for our Commission. Much of this has to do with our hiring of the first full-time Superintendent of Recreation, Judson 0. Thomas, and establishing an office with our own telephone number (659-7227). All this and more has contributed to additional activities and projects for the Commission to deal with.

Shortly after school was out in June, the summer playground program started. It ran for six weeks, attracted over 400 youngsters, and featured swimming trips to Fearing and College Ponds, weekly performances at the South Shore Music Circus, special events, such as a field day, All-American Week, numerous athletic contests, watermelon events and very creative arts and crafts projects, which were displayed in Norwell Center. The playgrounds were staffed with able high school and college aged young adults, who were all from Norwell.

When the leaves started to fall, the recreation program for adults started to blossom. Basketball for two groups of high school boys and for adults twice a week, ran concurrently with volleyball and gym hockey programs. Attendance seemed to soar, each time the activities were held.

At the sign of the first snowflake, the Norwell Youth Basketball League, for boys and girls in the 5th through the 8th grades started to take shape. The Com- mission is responsible for over 150 happy faces here, as Saturday mornings find our future citizens expressing themselves in this activity.

Along with the snow, came "Old Man Winter" who brought ice to Jacobs Pond. Lights were installed so that our Town's people could enjoy the feeling of gliding over a slick surface, after the sun has set.

Over a more lengthy time span, the Commission had other growth. Its meetings have developed into sessions that are run in a more professional manner, which lends to more effective handling of business matters, handling more business, and turning out a higher degree of productivity.

In an effort to receive many thoughts from our people, the Commission sent out a recreation interest questionnaire. About 18% of those sent out, responded, and many helpful suggestions were made. The data will be used in developing future en- deavors.

The Commission cooperated in a study which was made by a group from the Norwell High School. The Study involved taking inventory of some of the aspects of our local government structure. It is awfully nice to see that the schools are re- cognizing recreation as an integral part of the whole municipal system.

In an effort to notify more people to our offered activities, the Commission is distributing a monthly recreation calendar, which is posted throughout the town and will serve as our bulletin, until the present system is changed.

The Prouty Avenue Playground has been almost doubled in size, and made much more playable, because of leveling of an open area, blacktopping a square for better court game play, and surveying the additional land for a possible fence, and thus providing picnicking and rumpus space in a defined area, for the protection of all.

-45 - It is hoped that this area will be added to our summer playground system, as it potentially serves over 100 children.

Throughout the year, progress has been made, along with the Golf Course Study Committee, in regards to making our citizens aware of all aspects and ramifications involved in developing the proposed site. Both groups have worked hard to come up with answers that satisfy the curiosity of each interested citizen.

The Little League Fields have been drained, so the third baseman doesn't have to tread water, while waiting for the ball to be hit to him. This project was started during the last months of the year, and will be finally completed, when the ground decides to sprout the grass that covers the pipes. The Commission is grateful to the Superintendent of Public Grounds, Wesley Osborne, Jr. for his cooperation in supervising this project.

In looking at what lies ahead, one sees an extended summer playground season to eight weeks, more activities for youth during the winter and for the adults dur- ing the summer, more programs for our senior citizens, and our handicapped, and the developing of interest clubs of all sorts. We strive toward using every piece of available space, as much of the time as possible, for as many people of the town as possible.

The Commission wishes to show its appreciation to the Norwell School Depart- ment and Committee for the use of their facilities for many of our activities, the Norwell Women's Club for sponsoring a reception for the Superintendent and for assisting with the programming throughout the year, as did the Norwell Jaycees. We also wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and the Board of Water Commis- sioners for their assistance in making 1972 as successful as it was.

So many plans are in the fire, and we need that spark of interest that kindles the flame into a roaring beacon of wise, constructive and voluntary use of our leisure time. Then we will be much more able to cope with everyday problems, and will know what happiness is, a little better.

Respectfully submitted,

Austin S. Reynolds, Jr. Chairman Martin E. Morrill, Jr. Secretary Walter R. Abbott, Jr. James T. King Mary O. Knapp Judson 0. Thomas, Superintendent

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN & SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC GROUNDS

To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell:

Norwell has many thousands of public shade trees along its roadsides and on its public grounds. All of these trees will require some maintenance, if only to remove the tree when it dies and becomes a hazard to the public. It must be remembered that to highly maintain this great number of trees would be impractical, if not impossible. Therefore, a minimum maintainance program is given to these trees. Removal of trees which have become dangerous has to take precedence over other

- 46 - work. For example, we have approximately eight hundred (800) sugar maple trees, along our roadsides, which will require pruning or removal over the next several years.

Of course, the Dutch elm disease is still prevalent in all of the United States. There is some new research being done which may help to prevent and arrest this disease and we are experimenting with a highly prized elm tree on River Street.

Norwell did not have a serious outbreak of tree-feeding insect pests this year. However, a small infestation of Gypsy Moths was discovered in the River Street section of Town. This insect, in epidemic circumstances can be very serious. It can and does defoliate all trees during the spring when the tree is in its most active growth.

Thirty-five (35) shade trees of various species were planted along our roadsides in 1972. They consisted of Norway maples, flowering crabs, flowering cherry and mountain ash.

School grounds and other public grounds were cared for in the usual manner. This includes a proper mowing program, fertilizing and other maintenance work when necessary.

Preparations are being started in conjunction with the building committee to provide the necessary equipment to maintain the new High School fields when they become the Town's responsibility. The new fields being constructed with the High School should provide Norwell with an excellent facility for its athletic and rec- reational programs. However, it will require a high maintenance program to keep these fields in their most useful condition. The public grounds department will make every effort to provide the care these areas will require.

The tree and public grounds department has done its best to cooperate and assist all Town Departments when it was possible to do so and wishes to express its thanks for the help the other Departments extended to us.

Respectfully submitted,

Wesley H. Osborne, Jr. Tree Warden & Superintendent of Public Grounds

REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD

TO: Members of the Board of Selectmen and the Advisory Board

A review of the Personnel Board's accomplishments and recommendations in calendar 1972, showed the submission of a compensation schedule to the Board of

Selectmen. Such schedule covers all employees of the town, including elected and appointed officials. It shall be used in the preparation of all budgets for the follow- ing fiscal year.

The board has developed and ispresently implementing a comprehensive person- nel records file system for our town employees. This will include the vital statistics necessary for more efficient town office management.

An area in which the Personnel Board has enjoyed less than full-hearted cooper- ation which will result in a delay in its completion, is the Job Description Project;

- 47 - however, after some frustration we are happy to announce the job description task

will be soon underway. This is one of the boards top priorities and must be com-

pleted if the town is to achieve a fair, just, and equitable, with motive incentive, classification and compensation plan.

Finally, the members of the board are recommending a maximum 5% increase to all wage/salary budgets of the town departments for calendar 1973 and a maximum 2 lA% increase for the first six months of 1974.

Respectfully submitted, Norwell Personnel Board

- 48 - SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT

To all the Citizens of Norwell:

Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities for the year December 1, 1971 to November 30, 1972.

The project is a year round cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth, covering a total area of 172 square miles, serving a popula- tion in excess of 230,000.

The Project is authorized and acts under the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 252, Section 59, mosquito control provisions, and Chapter 112, Acts of 1931, pertaining to maintenance of ditches put on the salt marshes under original act.

The Project continued to base its program on a recommended three phase ap- proach to community mosquito control:

A. Source Reduction, eliminating or reducing of water breeding sites of the mosquitoes.

B. Reduction at the Source, larvaciding at the water breeding sites whereby a very minimum amount of insecticide can effect the greatest amount of kill of mosquito larvae and pupae.

C. Reduction of adults, by an atomized space and residual spray in an area usually between the nearest accessible site of suspected mosquito emergence and the area of a noted large mosquito buildup.

Giving priority of operation in the order above. Source Reduction:

All mosquitoes need a water source to breed. However, water alone does not constitute a mosquito condition. The requisites of stagnation, brackishness, pollu- tion and level fluctuation are also necessary to some extent. Eliminate one, two, or all these conditions, termed "source reduction or water management" and mosqui- toes would also be eliminated to the same degree.

The project operates 2 crawler tractor backhoe trenchers especially adapted to work upon coastal salt marshes; this is where the greater amount of its mosquito problems would be.

Along these lines of source reduction this project accomplished the following in this past year:

13,263 cu. ft. new ditch excavated

319,015 cu. ft. ditches reclaimed

9,080 feet of brook and stream cleaning

77,284 sq. ft. of brushing to facilitate access to work and treat these breeding areas.

Reduction at the Source:

Mosquitoes, while in their period of water development (larvae and pupae) are in their most vulnerable state for they are in large concentrations and restricted to small areas, thus allowing very minute amounts of insecticide to render the greatest

- 49 -

si level of mosquito fatality, the same time this limits to a great extent the harmful effects on other aquatic and marsh life with such low dosages.

Several methods are employed by the project to mosquito larvacide; aircraft, both helicopter and fixed wing making low volume application to the large wood- land swamps, power sprayer tanks, with hose, in areas accessible from the roads, back pack sprayers to the smaller and inaccessible areas, also power sprayers mounted on Jeep model vehicles are used to treat roadside and storm drain catch basins.

All areas larvacided are either actually breeding mosquitoes at the time of appli- cation or are known to be sure breeding areas at future dates.

Accomplished by this project by reducing at the source in this past year, 2,880 acres were larvacided by helicopter, 9,060 acres were larvacided by fixed wing air- craft, 3,198 gallons of insecticide were used to larvacide 3,198 acres by various means of ground equipment, 2,586 gallons of insecticide were used to larvacide 27,411 basins. 1,357 hours were spent pre-and-post-checking these many breeding

sites.

Reduction of Adult Mosquitoes:

By the use of power mist blowers, atomized particles of insecticide were dispersed in noted areas of large mosquito infestations. Contact with this insectici-

dal spray by the mosquito while in flight or as it rests in an area treated with this

insecticide considerably reduced its numbers.

In many areas inaccessible by vehicles, a power pack back mist blower was used. 9,487 gallons of insecticide were applied to approximately 9,487 acres by both truck mounted and back pack mist blowers.

The degree of success in both programs "Reduction of the Sourc~" and "Reduc- tion at the Source" can be measured by the steady reduction of the needs for adulticiding. This adulticide reduction now being realized in this project, however, certain weather and other conditions can reverse such a trend as did this past sea- son.

The spring of 1972 gave this area one of its wettest seasons in several years and continued so into mid-summer. The month of June having the record of third highest in precipitation on record. All this wet weather not only increased mos- quito breeding sites but cause many incidents of rehatch in area previously treated due to wash away and water level fluctuation.

Calls for mosquito service did increase over previous years necessitating an in- crease in adulticiding operation at the expense of a reduction in source reduction work.

The check-out of each and every call received into projects office still remains the projects policy.

The insecticides used in this project's operation in 1972 were:

1. Abate, the main mosquito larvacide formulated at between .031 to .046 pound of actual material to acre.

2. Baytex (Fenthion) as a larvacide in storm drain, catchbasins and in breeding water having a high organic level at formulation rates at .015 to .062 pounds actual material to acre. 3. Malathion, the main mosquito adulticiding material formulated at between 0.2 to 0.5 pounds of actual material to acre.

These insecticides are all registered for mosquito control use in Massachusetts. The label recommendations formulations rates and limits in application are im- plicitly abided by and more often than less at the minimum levels.

Eastern Equine Encephalitis:

Although this year there were no reported incidents of Eastern Equine En- cephalitis in man or horses this dread mosquito born virus remains a threat, for this year as in others the virus has been detected in the wild birds of the area and these are believed to be the natural reservoir of this virus.

Dog Heart Worm has been reported as on the increase in the past two years the mosquito is suspected of being the main vector for this fatal dog disease.

For these reasons the mosquito remains a health menace in this area.

The project wishes to acknowledge all assistance received from the officials and departments of the communities it serves and give notice that it shall as always remain ready with its personnel and equipment to continue to serve these where- ever and whenever it is called upon. COUNCIL ON AGING

As 1972 ends, we find that once again the Council on Aging has been able to provide the Senior Citizens of Norwell with many recreational programs. This year, ceramics was introduced through the generosity of Mrs. Myrtle Kelly, who not only donated her time but also provided the lessons and equipment at no charge.

Many trips were taken over the year. On these trips, the Council makes all the necessary arrangements and provides the bus. Some of the places visited were: Castle in the Clouds in Moultonboro, N. H., Bensons Animal Farm in Hudson, N.H., Burlington Shopping Mall, Red Sox game in Boston, and the Edaville Railroad in Carver to see the Christmas lights. A movie was enjoyed in Brockton at the Cinema.

A Flu Clinic for the Elderly was held at the Osborne School in December, with the follow-up shot to be given in January. At this time we would like to thank Dr. Raymond Vinal, The School Dept., and the Visiting Nurse Assoc. for their help.

The "Hot Lunch" program continues on Thursday at the Osborne School, when

school is in session. The girls in the lunchroom have utterly spoiled the Senior Citizens. On the first and third Thursday, a shopping bus is provided after the luncheons, and usually either Westgate Mall in Brockton or the South Shore Shop- ping Plaza in Braintree is visited. The attentiveness of Phil Joseph, driver of the

Norwell Coach is certainly appreciated by the Seniors.

We wish to extend our thanks to all who helped in any way; to Linwood Snow, who donated money to the Senior Citizens, to the Norwell Grange, the Womans'

Club of Norwell, and all others, who in any way helped. Respectfully submitted, Mary Jane Petze, Chairman John Carnes Dorothy M. Dickson Loretta McEttrick Margaret Riley

REPORT OF THE ROAD SALT COMMITTEE

The Road Salt Study Committee has held 7 meetings, as of January 5, to study the effects of road salt on the environment and the town water supply in particular. Norwell already has one well seriously contaminated; the probability of others

exceeding the permissible chloride level in a few years is alarming. We face a serious degradation of our water, loss of our wells or both and a hazard to our

health if we continue current salting practice.

The committee discovered immediately that there is a general agreement on the threat to the environment posed by indiscriminate use of salt: our first speaker was

William J. O'Brien, consultant to the Salt Institute, the salt industry's own public relations organization. Mr. O'Brien brought materials from the salt industry designed to assist "Sensible Salting Committees" in local communities. The next speaker

was Charles Conn II, then executive director of Habitat, Inc., the environmental research group that was commissioned by the Massachusetts and National Audubon Societies to prepare a more objective summary of the salt question. The Habitat report points out that much of the material currently available on the problem has been distributed by the Salt Institute itself, and that therefore more objective re-

search is urgently needed, especially in regards to the assumed but generally un- proven belief that increased use of salt leads to increased public safety on the high- ways. The report concludes: "There appears, however, to be little statistical evidence

either to substantiate or to disprove the connection (between salt safety) al- * I and though attempts have been made to do each."

Salt tonnage in the U.S. has increased about 1800% from 1947 to 1970. The figures available for Norwell show 2000 tons purchased 1967 1250 " " 1968 1854 " " 1969 2312 " " 1970 3344 " " 1971 MD A position paper published by Citizens of Winchester lists the tons used per street mile in 8 suburban Boston communities during the winter of 1969-70. While these generally colder communities ranged from 8.5 to 55 tons per mile, only two used more than Norwell; Winchester at 55 tons/mile was by far the high-

est and is reportedly attempting a 30% reduction. The average of Norwell's salt purchased for the years 1969 and 1970 (2083 tons) divided by 67 miles of road gives a rate of 31 tons/mile. The 1971 purchase level gives a rate of 49.9 tons/mile. (These figures are admittedly an approximation, but the only gauge we have so far) The Salt Institute recommends only 20 tons/mile for a 20 storm winter.

The term salt here applies to a coarse form of sodium chloride, NaCl, common

table salt. Calcium chloride is also used but only for specific purposes, in much smaller quantity because of its higher cost. There are also chemical additives in de- icing salts, including complex cyanides used as anti-caking agents, and chromate compounds used as corrosion inhibitors. These cause great concern because they

not only have a highly toxic potential but little is known about what happens to them.

The Massachusetts Dept. of Public Health forces the closing of any well that consistently shows a chloride content of over 250 parts per million (ppm); but

that is primarily an aesthetic criterion, being the point at which one can taste the

salt. A chloride level of less than 25ppm is recommended. A major source of inform-

- 52 m ation on water contamination from road salts was made public just days before the due date of this report; the A.D. Little report on the effect of Salt on the Environ- ment commissioned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This most recent report stresses the lack of a state or national maximum for sodium, although the American Heart Association recommends a maximum of only 20ppm of sodium for persons low salt on diets. The sodium level is crucial to health because a high salt intake is a direct cause of hypertension, a contributing factor in various forms of heart disease. An estimated l/5th or more of all American adults suffer from hyper- tension, and heart disease accounts for 55% of all U.S. deaths, 62% in Norwell in 1970. High salt content is also of concern in pregnancy and certain kidney diseases. There were already 14ppm sodium in Norwell tap water in March 1972; projecting the percentage increases we could expect current figures to come close to Heart's 20ppm maximum. Norwell received a Medical Alert from Mass. Commissioner of Public Health in 1970 because of excessive sodium in No.l So. St. well (when the chloride exceeded 250ppm) but the water board was able to reduce the level by continuous pumping into the pond, then mixing with water from other wells to further reduce its effects. The Board also has had the cooperation of the Highway Dept. in maintaining a short salt free zone on South St. from Mill St. to the Norwell line.

As salt usage has increased, so has the salt content in the town wells. No.l So. St. well is seriously contaminated, and while the levels in most other wells are still low, the percentage increases are alarmingly high, (see chart)

- 53 - Based on well tests in Norwell to date, and assuming an increase in salt content in the future at the same rate as in the past, we can expect the other wells to reach a chloride level of 250ppm in approximately 5 years. Because of slow seepage of salt Si through the soil, even if salt were stopped today there would probably be an in- crease in salt in the wells for at least two or three years. The chloride increases we are seeing now are most likely the result of salt used several years ago, perhaps 1968. The actual time lag cannot be determined without costly hydrographic studies, and depends on soil permeability, water flow, amount of rainfall, etc. The effects of salt on the soil are cumulative, and, as an Environmental Protection Agency report on the impact of highway de-icing states, "Unfortunately, the rectification of a contaminated ground water aquifer generally requires many years after remedial measures are first initiated."

Other environmental and property damages include the adverse effects of high snwHHNL salt concentrations on soil, roadside trees and other vegetation, corrosion of auto- deterioration of concrete highway structures, and toxic effects on •' mobiles and *" .' • H ' i* I I -Jr* fiw I fish and wildlife where runoff levels of chlorides and various toxic chemical add-

itives are high. Total cost estimates are elusive; it is hard to put a dollar value on either motorist convenience or the lowering of the quality of life. However, est- imates on the cost of auto corrosion, itself a safety hazard, run from $5 to $200 per year per vehicle; the Society of Automotive Engineers estimate was $100 per year.

Why has Norwell been using so much salt? Because it is efficient, and heavy use was accepted practice among maintenance engineers until the present. In the opinion of the Highway Surveyor, usage has always been "moderate and well controlled", the limit imposed by Article No. 27 of the 1972 Town Meeting. He has used what he felt necessary to do the best possible job, although precise

control of amounts spread is difficult with NorwelPs present equipment. The Com-

mittee consensus is that the recent levels are the result of more roads (subdivisions etc.), more cars and primarily the Highway Surveyor's conscientious and successful response to the demand for an increasingly higher standard of wintertime mainten- ance—clearer, faster roads. Awareness of the threat implicit in heavy reliance on salt

is very recent, but now the citizens must become aware that the quality of life faces further degradation, and potable water supplies are seriously threatened unless we are willing to put up with some slower driving, and not expect "June driving in January". There are alternatives, including total or partial bans, selective salting of the most critical roads, etc. The town must choose between maximum speed on winter roads and the quality of its water supplies.

Possible courses of action include:

1. A total ban, unquestionably the best for the water supply.

2. Selective salting of the most heavily travelled roads, the Old Oaken Bucket — Norwell Ave. — Grove Street commuter route, Main Street for instance, or of key areas, intersections, hills, etc., to be determined by the Selectmen, Highway Surveyor and Police Chief.

3. A reduction to a finite amount, perhaps the 1250 tons used in 1968, to be used at the discretion of the Highway Surveyor.

If we continue to use salt, we definitely need more precise equipment, a covered storage shed, accurate data and quantity control, items costly in themselves but

negligible compared to the cost of new or outside water supplies, if such were avail- able. Most of all we need an aware public and more cautious winter driving. E. Arnold Joseph Jean D. Marshall Edward F. Walsh - 54 - Joan G. Noble Wesley H. Osborne, Jr. SOUTH SHORE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

During 1972 South Shore Regional Vocational Technical High School in Hanover has had two major highlights. First, the school has been granted con- tinued membership in the New England Association of Schools and Colleges for a ten year period. Second, the school has embarked on a study for future expansion and programs to include girls by hiring Educational Consultants Council, Inc. The two developments are closely linked. The chief recommendations by the New England Association were space for safety and for expanded programs which should include vocational and technical studies for girls. We at Vo-Tech were proud to report that studies were underway. Lay committees in the six towns

(Norwell, Hanover, Scituate, Cohasset, Abington and Rockland) to assure full community participation and needs are being formed.

Before full expansion space is started, to meet immediate needs, a modular building (50' x 100') will be leased to provide an adequate library, reading laboratory and office. (The Occupational Division of the Massachusetts Department of Education has assured the school there will be 50% reimbursement in leasing this unit.) A remedial reading instructor has already been added to the staff and is busy with students who have reading handicaps.

Hockey is the most interested sport so it has been expanded to include a full junior varsity program.

In the evening school, trade extension programs are held in Auto Body, Precision Sheet Metal, Welding and Electrical Code and Theory. The latter course has eighty

participants in three classes. The ever popular Carpentry course for residents is con- tinuing. Two courses authorized by new legislation for preparatory training are in progress - Automotive Skills and T. V. Radio Repair. People may register regard- less of their full time employment.

Equipment is being continually updated so our shops can send out workers ready for today's market skills. The Drafting Department is now fully equipped with industrial type drawing tables to accommodate all sizes of drawing projects and people. The Precision Sheet Metal Section has initiated die refurbishing and sharp- ening as part of their program with the addition of a Bridgeport. New lathes have

been added to replace obsolete N I E R equipment. The Automotive program has included automotive air conditioning as well as a unit on disc brakes with the nec- essary hands-on-equipment for training.

Helping the South Shore Natural Science Center on Jacob's Lane, Norwell com-

plete its building program has kept the Carpentry and Electrical classes working while helping the community. The other outside project, the house on Captain

Vinal Way in Norwell is progressing.

Concern for a wide range of student interests and intellect are important to our school so programs for pupils of limited ability as well as opportunities for future college enrollment are in operation.

Placement services, full and part time are provided for all students and graduates.

Norwell 1972 graduates are Robert Wayne Valair and John Mathieson Stewart. Respectfully submitted, Gunvor N. Armstrong 00 r- m NO ON no CD 00 no 00* no co o ID co* o co o CS 00 o co I H r» oo

- 56 - REPORT OF THE NORWELL SCHOOL COMMITTEE

The year 1972 best exemplifies how the cohesiveness of a community and the understanding and cooperation of its members can overcome practically any ob- stacle. Overcrowded conditions are at their worst — as we eagerly await the opening of our new high school and subsequent creation of an additional elementary school — our children are attending classes in libraries, gymnasiums, teacher's rooms, and supply closets; our high school is on a staggered schedule and our kindergartens are functioning in converted church facilities.

In spite of these disadvantages, our students continue to demonstrate their excellence in the fields of academic achievement, drama, and athletics. This is in- deed a tribute to an excellent administrative and teaching staff and an understand- ing community without whose help we could not have overcome these difficulties.

Several important policy changes were implemented this year which are worthy of note. First, a basic change was made in the administrative structure relative to curriculum supervision. Previously, we had appointed coordinators for each major field of study from grades one through twelve. This system, in the opinion of the Superintendent, had created a division of responsibility in the administrative staff. Consequently, on his recommendation, the coordinator's function was eliminated and High School Department Heads reinstated. System-wide coordination will, in the future, be administered by the Superintendent's office.

Secondly, after several years of studying various kindergarten systems, we have decided to offer for all schools a single program unique to Norwell, incorporating the best from each system. This program is being directed by our Assistant Super- intendent.

Finally, in order to provide a set of guidelines for our administrative and teach- ing staff, a Discipline Policy was established which clearly defines procedures for dealing with student behavioral problems. This policy provides the student with as much assistance and guidance as possible in a manner which is uniform throughout the system.

As a result of a recently enacted legislation, we have some welcome additions to our committee this year. This new law requires that a Student Advisory Commit- tee, elected by the student body, meet with the School Committee at least once every other month. Our meetings have thus far been quite meaningful. These students, as young adults within our system, can offer a point of view which is often overlooked. We look forward to their continued assistance.

As we look ahead to 1973, we foresee good and bad news. The good news, of

course, is the anticipation that our new high school will be ready for occupancy in

the fall. In conjunction, we will move the junior high school into the present high school and the Sparrell school will be converted into an elementary school, thereby alleviating our most pressing problems. The bad news is that we must pay for it.

At this writing, we are in the midst of preparing our new budget which must cover an 18-month period from January 1973 through June 1974 to meet the new state fiscal requirement. Our goals are basic - quality education at the least possible cost - and extremely difficult to attain. Salaries for the teaching staff have been negotiated for a two year period at a schedule which, in our opinion, is equitable and competitive with surrounding towns. This amount, coupled with our anticipa- ted transportation and fixed utility costs, constitutes approximately 92% of the

- 57 - total budget. The remaining variable costs of supplies, texts, maintenance, capital

outlay, etc., are all being scrutinized to maintain a balance between cost and need. When considering these needs, we are constantly mindful of the fact that we are elected to represent all of the taxpayers of Norwell and strive to make our decisions accordingly.

With your continued support and encouragement, we anticipate 1973 will be a most rewarding year. Our meetings are open and we welcome your attendance and participation.

Respectfully submitted,

Samuel J. Ballerini, Chairman Harold Simms Mary Gunn • A-*- Robert Detwiler Richard Tedeschi

: -//Y'\i ^7/ *V REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS '*' A • • <%< I ' v-* TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE

The first item with which I must deal must be school enrollment and facility

needs. Once again, our enrollment increased. The total enrollment as of October 1,

1972, was 2661. This compares to a total enrollment of 2508 as of October 1,

1971. This is a total growth of 153 students or approximately 6%. The breakdown

by buildings is as follows:

Church Hill Kindergarten 182 Vinal Elementary School 366 Cole Elementary School 574 Osborn Elementary School 418 Junior High School 428 High School 693

2661

It is appropriate, at this time, to briefly discuss the difficulty of projecting en- rollment in Norwell. Although nationally, and in fact in some surrounding com- munities, there has been a reduction in enrollment due to a slower birthrate, this

has not had an impact here. Our population increase is a result of migration, or more specifically, in-migration, not births. During the past few years, Norwell has built many new homes. In addition, the homes tend to be expensive, with three or more bedrooms. This means that established families with school age children are moving in.

There are obviously many variables connected with in-migration. For example, available land, housing starts, available land and costs in surrounding towns, and the general economy, to name a few. We have done projections in the past, and will

continue to do so. However, at present it appears clear that we will continue to grow in the immediate future.

There is more to education, however, than the statistics of enrollment and rela-

ted problems. The heart of any school is, of course, the instructional program. There has been a tendency in recent years to equate change with improvement, but

this is not necessarily the case. Change may be simply an attempt to be modern or,

- 58 in educational terms, innovative, for superficial reasons. In Norwell, we shall con- stantly evaluate our program and seek ways to improve, but we shall also be mind- ful of the danger of educational sirens luring us on the rocks. What is "in" this year might well be "out" next year. This does not imply a new rigidity but recognizes the need for calm, rational decisions based on experience and evidence.

With this in mind, there have been some changes in the curriculum during the past year. In the high school, semester courses in applied physics and applied chemistry were added to better meet the needs of non-college preparatory students. A semester course in data processing was also added in an attempt to strengthen our business department offerings. These courses will be evaluated at the end of this year to determine whether or not they should be continued.

The co-curricula activities were highlighted this past year by the Drama Club winning the State Festival and representing Massachusetts in the New England competition. In addition, the Norwell High School football team was undefeated, winning the South Shore League and recently being declared the winner of the State Division 4 Championship. The co-curricular program involves many students in a variety of activities and we believe it is a valuable and integral part of our school.

We were particularly proud at the high school that during the 1971-72 school year we were honored by having a National Merit Scholarship finalist, Mr. Douglas Knowles. In addition, there was one student who received a letter of commenda- tion.

This year, Norwell again has a National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist, Miss Jane Whitcomb, and six students who received letters of commendation. This means that all of these young people scored in the 98th percentile, or above, on their examinations.

At the junior high school, the Oregon Curriculum in English was fully imple- mented this year. The tutoring program, which has proven so effective, has been expanded. A number of junior high school students continue to tutor at the Osborn Elementary School and in the special education class. In addition, the high school National Honor Society offers tutors to junior high school students.

In the elementary schools, the implementation of the Elementary School Math Program, published by Addison-Wesley, was completed this year. It is now in use in grades 1 through 6. In a number of classes, teachers are attempting new ways to meet the needs of individual students through such devices as teaming, paired in- struction, and individualized reading.

We were particularly gratified this year with the initial success of the School Volunteer Program. Under the direction of Mrs. Priscilla Norling and Mr. Joseph Buckley, this program attempts to bring parent volunteers into the schools to meet specific needs. This may include such things as helping with drill, listening to readers, recording on cassettes, etc. To date, the program has involved approxi- mately 65.

In attempting an annual report, one must necessarily make choices as to what to include or produce a document of such length that it becomes meaningless. Yet, of so there are many things which I would like to put before you. The cooperation many people during Safety Week, The Educational Goals Committee, the Teacher Effectiveness Program, and the coming together of the community during the High School Student Union Christmas Fair are a few. I sincerely hope that in the future I may be given the opportunity of expanding these and many other facets of our school system.

Let me close by thanking the members of the School Committee, the staff, and the community for the support and cooperation given me.

Thank you.

Respectfully submitted,

Robert E. Bunnell Superintendent of Schools

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN

Robert E. Bunnell, Superintendent of Schools Norwell, Massachusetts

Dear Mr. Bunnell:

Please accept herewith my annual report as school physician.

All boys and girls on competing teams for the High School and Junior High School have been examined. The state requirement of routine examinations has been accomplished. This includes grades 12, 8 and 4. Histories and examinations of new students including kindergarten and first grades are usually and preferably initiated by the family doctor. I am glad to supplement these examinations whenever neces- sary.

Handicapped students present a special problem in that their medical histories are very necessary for both myself and the teachers. The students are usually unable to contribute information. Broken homes complicate available information. Before the school and health department accept the responsibility for any child, especially when abnormal, I believe a comprehensive history and examination is indicated. Usually this needs tedious social work.

We are fortunate in having three unusually competent nurses. They relieve teachers of many routine health problems in the 5 schools. They also serve as diplomatic social workers in their liaison between schools and parents. As they are kept very busy I would strongly recommend adding another nurse.

The participating athletes are outstanding in spite of the lack of proper fa- cilities. I wish we could offer a program that would involve the non-athletes in either team sport experience or recreative sports that could be used in later adult life.

A continued positive approach for all health education is advisable. Special efforts are constantly necessary against the known hazards of drug abuse and smoking.

The health personnel and facilities have necessarily suffered from the over- crowded conditions. We are looking forward to better times with the new building program.

Sincerely yours, Raymond G. Vinal, M. D. School Physician

- 177 - ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGISTRARS

The year 1972 has been a very busy one for the Board of Registrars. They have registered 1051 people to vote, contrasted to the 461 people registered during the entire year of 1971.

The Presidential election, as always, brought out a lot of people who were eligible to become voters, but for one reason or another had neglected to do so. Between August 19 (the final day of registration prior to the September Primary) and October 7 (the final day to register to vote prior to the November 7 election) the Board of Registrars added 410 new names to the voting list - almost as many as during the entire year of 1972.

Voter registration was conducted from 9:00 A. M. to 4:30 P. M. daily in the Town Clerk's office. Also on the following additional days:

February 12, Saturday 1 — 3 P. M. February 22, Tuesday noon to 10 P. M. (before Annual Town Meeting and Election)

March 14 and 21, Tuesdays 7 - 9 P. M.

• ' , I %. . r . 1 BB I 1 H March 25, Saturday noon to 10 P. M. H ;f I I I I (before April 25th Presidential Primary)

• I I August 8 and 15, Tuesdays 7 — 9 P. M. August 19, Saturday noon to 10 P. M. (before September 19th Primary)

September 26, Tuesday 7 - 9 P. M. October 3, Tuesday 7 - 9 P. M.

October 7, Saturday noon to 10 P. M.

MASS. October 9, Monday* noon to 10 P. M. HOLIDAY (*for partial ballots) (before November 7th election)

October 20, Friday 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. (before Special Town Meeting)

Recent legislation changed the residency requirements from a year in the Commonwealth and 6 months in the Town. First — only 6 months in both Com- monwealth and Town was required. Final legislation made only 31 days residency a requirement to register to vote. Rules have been relaxed so that no one should be

unable to vote — but still people do neglect to appear for registration during the proper times, or after the closing dates, set by law, prior to town meetings and elections. The newspapers, radio and television have been very informative, espe- cially this year, so the public should have been well-informed. A call to the office of the Town Clerk can straighten out questions regarding dates of registration, party affiliations, etc.

As of December 1, 1972, the registered voters were listed as follows: Democrats 1058 Republicans 1240 Unenrolled 2394 Total registered voters - 4692.

The term "unenrolled" means not registered in either political party.

178 The Board of Registrars also conducted 2 recounts - the first one on April 1st of the write-in and sticker votes cast at the Annual Town Election in March. The second one was on December 7, of the November 7 votes cast for Representative in Congress in the 12th District.

The Board of Registrars, under the provisions of Chapter 51, Section 6, of the General Laws (Ter. Ed.) as amended by Chapter 440, Section 4, of the Acts of 1938, is charged with the responsibility of each year listing every resident of the Town who lived there as of January 1st. There are over 2,000 dwellings in Norwell, and each one must be visited by the enumerators. Included are all persons who consider Norwell their legal residence - those in the Armed Forces, Peace Corps, college students, etc. This listing of residents starts the day after the New Year and continues until all residents have been listed. The enumerators have credentials and should be given cooperation in this required task. It occasionally becomes necessary to enlist the aid of the police in obtaining information, but only as a last resort. NORWELL BOARD OF REGISTRARS Ruth M. Murray, Chairman Paul B. MacDonald Maitha A. Whitcher Nellie G. Tarr, Clerk

REPORT OF THE MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION

This Commission was appointed so that Norwell can be included by a deadline of June 30, 1973 in the inventory of historical, architectual and archaeological assets required for the Commonwealth's Preservation Plan which covers all Massa- chusetts natural and cultural resources.

Acting under Chapter 40, Section 8D of the General Laws and the vote of the Town to establish such a commission, the Selectmen on November 7, 1972 ap- pointed the six undersigned Commissioners and called a public Open Meeting at 9:30 A. M. on December 2 at Cushing Memorial Town Hall where a chairman and secretary were chosen. The secretary then reported to the State House and re- ceived mapping and recording instructions which were studied at workshop meet- ings on December 9 and 16. At this time the Commission accepted the offer of help from Miss Helen G. Lincoln who was appointed general recorder.

All Commissioners and volunteer assistants are unpaid, donating personal time and expenses, and act only under written authority. Certain required maps, file materials and photographs need to be provided by the Town as work progresses.

Respectfully submitted,

J. Richard Hartigan, Chairman Mildred T. Hastings Catherine M. Hunt Jonathan H. Bond Quentin L. Coons, Secretary William G. Vinal
