Report of Selectmen -
The past year has seen changes that go with a growing Town. The Recreation Committee is now established. Any- one passing the Salt Pond or Great Pond last summer dur- ing the swimming lessons certainly saw some enthusiastic pupils. The Junior Ball Team was surely "on the ball."
It is too bad that someone did not feel the urge of Public spirit to run for the vacant place on the Planning Board. Robert Deschamps will be missed after giving five years of good and faithful service.
Elmer W. Lloyd, our very efficient Tree Warden and Moth Superintendent, did not take out nomination papers this time. He has left a record that will be difficult to duplicate.
Helen Clark, after many years as Trustee of the Library, felt it was time for someone else to assume re- sponsibility.
The bathing beaches are still our real assets. We must keep ahead of the times and keep ways open to the water, whether salt or fresh, although we still have room for im- provement, before you condemn your officials too much on the care of beaches and access to our beaches, take a Sunday off and try to get to the ocean in some of our surrounding towns, especially if it is low water on the Bayside.
Under Article 31, it is proposed to take six or seven acres of land for a Park on the ocean between Nauset Light and Nauset Coast Guard Station. The Town can take this land now by eminent domain at a very small cost. In the future it would be very expensive.
The Rest Rooms at Nauset Light were very much ap- preciated judging by the oral and written comments we received, also the way the rooms were respected by the Public. It looks as if one should be built at the Coast Guard
9
Station Beach. Consideration has been given to the mat- ter of having a life guard at Nauset Light Beach.
Under Chapter 90 the Ocean View Drive should be completed this year. With the coming of the Mid-Cape Road we believe the cut off from the Boat Meadow Bridge to a southeasterly point on Bridge Street should be started. With all the building from North Eastham to the Orleans line, this road is being used considerably. The State and County are ready to do their share.
There is a request in Article 17 for more tables and benches to complete the dining room. Many popular sup- pers by different organizations were served the past year.
The Piano Committee procured a fine Grand piano for the auditorium. The Orleans Woman's Club is very pleased with its new quarters.
This is the first year that the traveling Chest X-Ray machine has been in Town. It was very well patronized.
The Old Mill is still one of our greatest attractions. Through keen interest taken by J. Robert Whiting the mill was put in good mechanical condition. In the Spring we have the promise of an experienced mill stone man to ad- just and sharpen the stones. As usual the mill will grind corn meal only when the wind is south-west.
At Rock Harbor the State will match any Town funds used for dredging on the Eastham side.
Yngve Rongner, after two years of conscientious service, has resigned as Civil Defense Director.
We wish to thank all other Town Officers and Com- mittees for their cooperation.

Report of Board of Assessors
With the growth of our Town during the past five years and the resultant increase in total valuation, the Assessors sincerely hope that increased expenditures due to the growth of the Town will be raised by taxation only.
In other words, we suggest that you, the voters, who control the finances of the town, will consider the following recommendation.
"That any money now in Surplus Funds will not be used for two or three years, even if our expenditures should rise on a somewhat, greater scale than our total valuation."
This would strengthen the financial position of the Town and give us protection for possible emergencies in the future.
Following are the comparisons of total valuations for the years :
