Town of EASTHAM ANNUAL REPORTS 1957

About The Cover
There is no plan afoot to move Doane Rock onto the Windmill lawn, so we hope no one ex- pects to see it there. Or to see Nauset Light from the Windmill. It's just that the Handbook Committee wanted to show several of Eastham's main points of interest all together in one compact group.
So here are Eastham's Windmill, Doane Rock, the beaches and Nauset Light-with a fence full of roses for good measure, all depicted within hooting distance by Eastham illustrator Harold Durand White.

Report of The Board of Selectmen
To the Residents and Taxpayers of Eastham :
Once again it is time for the elected and appointed officials of the Town to make their annual report to you. We sincerely hope that these brief resumes of past efforts and future hopes will give you some idea of what we are trying to accomplish and assist you in deciding what should be done about recommendations for this and future years.
The past summer was one of the most prosperous ever for Eastham, and Cape Cod as a whole. A vote of thanks to Patti Page for the song "Old Cape Cod." It was a great boost for the Cape and coupled with the beautiful weather people came to the Cape much earlier and stayed later.
As you know, it was voted at a Special Town Meeting, held in December, to purchase the properties of the Crosby family and the Tarvers, for additional Old Mill Grounds and a Public Park. Eastham will have a "Town Commons" in the center, as many other New England towns. The Old Mill, a great traditional landmark, will soon be clearly visible from the highway. Another vote of thanks to Mr. Warren- ton A. Williams and Mr. Prince H. Hurd, Jr., for their gratis assistance and services in these transactions. We appreciate such expressions of true public spirit.
Everyone in this section of the Cape is wondering and waiting-what is the Federal Government going to do about "Great Beach?" Until they release their findings, recom- mendations and decisions it seems wise not to obligate our- selves to any great expenditures along our ocean beaches. Whatever the result of the Government findings, the near future will, no doubt, find Eastham with more public beach along the ocean front. What changes will result from the eventual completion of the Mid-Cape highway cannot even be imagined at this time.
7
This year, under Article 20 of the Annual Town Meet- ing Warrant, you are being asked to extend the road and enlarge the parking area at First Encounter Beach. This would greatly alleviate the congestion at this very popular beach.
Eastham had a Town Nurse for the first time this past year, and everyone who had occasion to use the services rendered by Mrs. A. May Dunphy, R.N., expressed their appreciation of her competence and pleasing manner.
We all join in mourning the passing of Mr. Richard H. Whitford. He was an original member of the Finance Com- mittee and Appeal Board, and served the Town well for many years. Only those who have given of their time and efforts to serving the Town can realize what is demanded of them, and what public pride and spirit is demonstrated by such service.
Even before the event of "Sputnik" the State and Federal governments have been putting more and more stress on the necessity of adequate Civil Defense. Although all of us may not feel the need of such an organization here we do have one ready to serve us in case of any emergency. Clarence Doughty is the Director and he is supported by an interested and able group of volunteers.
With continued cooperation between all of the officials, board and committee members and citizens and taxpayers of the Town, we should be assured of a good year one nine five eight.
Respectfully submitted,
MAURICE W. WILEY, Chairman
