SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Report of the Board of Selectmen
The Town of Norwell is an area of twenty-one square miles or approximately thirteen thousand acres. Within the boundaries fifteen hundred families reside with all the comforts of modern homes and conveniences while at the same time the beavers are still building dams in the swamp area and deer roam the wooded acreage, and one will be startled by the pheasants, raccoons, fox and other animals at any time that one ventures into the wood- lands that are found not very far from any residence in the Town of Norwell. Bass are still caught in the North River, and the herring would be running in the herring brooks if they were prop- erly cleaned and herring runs provided.
The foregoing is the kind of a community that we live in at present, and our greatest concern should be what kind of a com- munity will it become in the future. Will we preserve our nat- ural resources at the same time we enjoy the accoutrements of industrial, cultural living? If we lose or destroy our natural resources, the cost of restoring will always be prohibitive if not impossible. The Town of Norwell is very fortunate from the en- vironmental standpoint, having an excellent climate and approxi- mately eight miles of river frontage on the North River which is a navigable estuary of largely tidal water to the Town boundary in Hanover. This navigable estuary is one of the few undeveloped marine potentials on the eastern seaboard in New England.
It is possible to contemplate future dredging in the marsh areas along the River that would result in considerable additional acreage of useable River frontage land and at the same time in- crease the marine area many, many times which would be of tremendous value to the Town of Norwell. This sort of develop- ment is not unknown and has been done in many other parts of the Country. In every case it has added tremendously to the cultural and economic resource of the area.
If the proper drainage program is carried out in the Town of Norwell, better control of the swamps can be established; and some of these areas would be restored to ponds which would be greatly beneficial to the Town environment.
Our human resources as well as our institutional and man- agement needs should be carefully studied in relation to the size of our problems and our financial ability to insure a dynamic journey to the future that we should have the right to expect.
Your Town government will call upon you for advice, labor, money and, the most important of all, your vested interest in your own Town of Norwell.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Financial
The thirty-second accounting of the Florence M. Cushing Memorial Fund for the year ending August, 1960 was reported by the trustees under date of September 14, 1960. The report showed the principal amount of $47,071.15. The income account for the year showed a balance in the amount of $5,892.84. The trustees remitted to the Town the amount of $2,680.00, which can be used by the Selectmen for unusual maintenance expenses for the Cushing Memorial Town Hall. The total amount available for the Selectmen to administer as of the first of January, 1961 is $5,892.84. The Selectmen have not utilized this fund in any major maintenance expenditure this past year as we are expecting to be forced to make some major changes to the heating system at the Town Hall before long. It has been the thought to build up this available income fund to the point that possibly a major part of the cost of renovation to the heating system could be accom- plished without the Town's appropriation of substantial funds.
The past year the Town has borrowed $250,000.00 in anticipa- tion of revenue to meet the Town's obligations.
In accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Selectmen last year the Town established a stabilization fund or sinking fund, instead of depending on the free cash of the Town to provide for capital expenditures. It is now planned to increase the stabilization fund from year to year in order to reduce the amount of money which will have to borrowed for capital im- provements. There will be an article placed in the 1961 Town Meeting Warrant for the funds to increase the stabilization fund account. The amount of money recommended for the stabiliza- tion fund for 1961 is $35,000.
Roads
The Chapter 90 Program has continued for the reconstruction of Main Street, the completion of the surfacing as far as Dover Street and the continuation of the extension of drainage in Main Street at the cemetery and the post office area has been com- pleted. Requests have been made to the State Department of Public Works and the County Commissioners for continuation of the Main Street project as a Chapter 90 financed construction.
We have continued to request Chapter 90 Funds for the re- surfacing of Main Street from the Hanover-Norwell line to Pros- pect Street. The money for the Town's portion was voted in 1959, and we understand this year that the funds are available at a State level to do this work.
11
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
The State Department of Public Works is in the engineering phases of laying out the new Pond Street road, which will involve a minor amount of land-taking, the cost of which will have to be borne by the Town, and the Selectmen are presenting an article for the Town at the regular Town Meeting in March, to cover this authorization of cost.
The Board of Selectmen completed the procedure, resulting in the acceptance of a portion of Ridge Hill Road as a Town way, as voted in the 1960 Town Meeting.
The Board of Selectmen has continued their program of increasing the number of street lights in town, in order to im- prove the dangerous dark area in the travelled ways within the Town of Norwell.
Again this year the Board of Selectmen and the Highway Surveyor, the Water Commissioners and the Planning Board have met in connection with the various road problems, including Pond Street and the unrepaired road shoulders on River Street.
Due to the necessity of the Town to own its equipment for use by the Highway Department, it was necessary for the Select- men to take bids and purchase two dump trucks and a pick-up truck for the Highway Surveyor and also a pick-up truck for the Tree Warden.
There is still a problem in Brantwood Manor on Brantwood Road, in connection with the drainage and the road surface which the Town Counsel has been negotiating with the former devel- opers in this area, in order that the road and drainage can be put in proper condition, so the Town could be within the law in accepting the road in the area where the houses have been com- pleted. Recently, the Town Counsel assured us that the devel- opers have agreed to complete this work in a manner that will be satisfactory to the Highway Surveyor.
On April 28th the Selectmen accompanied the State Engineer and the Highway Surveyor on a tour of the Town, in order to analyze the best use of Chapter 81 funds for repairs and necessary drainage on those roads which were in most need of attention.
It is the opinion of the Board of Selectmen that our roads are deteriorating so fast that it will be necessary for the Town to appropriate a larger budget for the Town account in order to pre- vent, to some extent, the destruction of the roads which would eventually result in tremendous cost.
The drainage problems in Town continue to be a source of constant attention by the Board of Selectmen, the Highway Sur- veyor and the Drainage Committee, without much progress, be-
12
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
cause of the lack of funds to cope with the problem. The Drain- age Committee is doing an excellent job, as far as its funds will allow, and it is the opinion of this Board that there should be a budgeted item each year, in order to do some of the most neces- sary work, in order to prevent our roads from deteriorating too rapidly due to water conditions which are not controlled.
Town Hall and Town Hall Annex
The Town's growing pains are being felt in no uncertain terms in the Town Hall. All the Town officials and their associ- ates are making the best of a crowded situation, which does, nev- ertheless, affect the efficiency of the operations of the Town gov- ernment.
It was the hope of the Selectmen that they might find a way to renovate the heating systems in the Town Hall, in order to reduce the maintenance cost, as well as the operating expense, and to eliminate the need for coal or coke in the basement, in or- der that these areas could be utilized for storage. The need for area to store supplies and records is very critical. The Board of Selectmen called in a heating engineer for recommendations and found that the cost to renovate the heating system would be in the vicinity of $10,000. The Selectmen are still studying this situation and will make recommendations to the Town sometime during the year 1961, as to the possible solution.
The Board of Selectmen found it possible to provide a lim- ited amount of driveway and blacktop walk areas at the Town Hall and the Annex, within the $1,000 appropriation. The Select- men also authorized the installation of a new heating system, which has been completed, in the Town Hall Annex, to replace the old heater which was dangerously near the point of failure and might have resulted in fire.
Committees
In accordance with the vote of the Town, the Board of Select- men appointed a Personnel Study Committee; also a Committee was appointed, as instructed by the Town, to select a site and to study the type of building needed for storage of Town equipment.
Meetings and Elections
The year of the Presidential Election, as usual, provides the Board of Selectmen with an increased set of problems, inasmuch as they have, in addition to the Town Meeting and Town Election, two Primary elections and a State and Federal Election for which
13
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
to provide. There have also been three Special Town Meetings in addition to the regular March Meeting.
The cost of the Elections and the Meetings has been very heavy, particularly due to new legislation which has required a substantial increase in the number of election officials.
The Board of Selectmen set the dates of February 18, May 19, September 15 and December 8, at which time the so-called Quarterly Meetings were held to provide the opportunity for vari- ous Boards, appointed officials and committees to meet and dis- cuss the common problems of the Town. These Meetings have been very fruitful in the opinion of those who have attended them.
The Selectmen have been represented at the General Court, the Governors' Conferences, the Selectmen's Association Meet- ings, at a series of meetings which were held at Bridgewater on a great variety of municipal problems.
The Board of Selectmen instituted a program of periodic tours of the Town in order to better understand the problems of roads, drainage and the possibility of future layouts, as well as street lighting and other traffic hazards; also to survey Town- owned property, observe the conditions of the gravel pits and places that were developing into junk yards, and similar problems.
The Board of Selectmen held approximately twenty-five hearings in the matter of administering the Town By-Law cov- ering the removal of gravel, sand, loam and other natural deposits. These hearings were in addition to the many meetings and hours that had to be spent by the Board of Selectmen to develop the rules and regulations under which the Permits have been issued for the natural deposits removal project.
The Board of Selectmen has met for approximately 75 meet- ings which were scheduled public meetings and most of which were 4 to 5 hours in duration. This indicates that the workload that is developing in the Selectmen's office is certainly commen- surate with the growing pains throughout the Town of Norwell.
General.
The Board of Selectmen has been very concerned with the problems of the Police Department during this past year and spent considerable time in investigating this problem before the Board recommended the employment of two additional full-time Police Officers, and an additional Police cruiser to provide the
14
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
transportation means of making these Police Officers effective. One man has already been appointed and is on the job and the second man will be appointed at an early date.
The Board of Selectmen has on its agenda at the present time the following items which are receiving their continued attention and will be followed up until they are properly resolved:
1. Veterans' Agent - resigned the day after regular Town Meeting in March and the Board of Selectmen have carried on this work to date, and are trying to develop a plan to resolve the problems contained in this area.
2. The Appeals Board granted a variance to the Dwyer in- terests to provide a Golf Course in the Grove Street area and the Board of Selectmen is negotiating the various phases of this project with the hope that it will mature to the great advantage of the Town of Norwell.
3. Go-Kart Track - The Board of Selectmen has recognized the recreational advantages of the Go-Kart Track for the younger people, and also for the Town of Norwell and has spent consid- erable time and effort trying to find a way to allow this activity to continue without its being a nuisance to the residents of the general area.
The Selectmen are following the general problem of South Shore transportation; also the matter of automobile insurance rates, and other matters which are of interest to the Town at the State level.
The General Court has finally passed a Bill to provide the necessary legislation and the Governor has signed said Bill to provide the necessary funds for the complete reconstruction of the Union Bridge under the authorization of the County Com- missioners. The Bridge planking and the timbering on the walk- ways and roadway is still in very bad condition and the Town of Norwell, at the present time, has a suit on its hands in connection with injuries which were sustained by a party who fell through an open plank. It now seems that this project will be completed in the year 1961 and it will make it possible for the draw at this bridge to be opened and the upper reaches of the River utilized a great deal more extensively than may have been pos- sible in the past. This should result in acceleration of the devel- opment of this natural resource and your Selectmen will take steps to make recommendations to the Town, and at State and Federal level to increase the Town of Norwell's enjoyment of one of the few navigable estuaries that is left on the eastern seaboard.
15
SELECTMEN'S REPORT
Recommendations
The Board of Selectmen is asking for money in their budget to carry out the numbering of the houses, which is now economi- cally possible, by the use of the new Assessors' Maps.
The Board is also requesting additional money in their budget to pay for the necessary engineering to lay out certain streets in the Town of Norwell, in order that they may be presented to the Town for its consideration, according to the necessary legal steps of hearings and articles in the Town Warrant. The Selectmen are asking for the necessary funds to employ outside consultants to study the problem of Town government in the complete broad aspects of efficient management, in order that the program may be presented to the Town for its consideration. Possibly the best way to illustrate the changes in Town Government that are nec- essary, is to observe that the total receipts of the Town in 1947 were in the vicinity of $220,000 and in 1959 were $1,500,000. The amount raised by taxation in 1947 was approximately $123,000 on $2,500,000 worth of Real Estate: in 1959 the Assessors had to raise approximately $700,000 on approximately $10,000,000 worth of Real Estate.
The Board of Selectmen feels that it is imperative that the elected officials and the taxpayers of the Town of Norwell have a complete and clear understanding of the basic problems and be able to provide the efficient management needed to meet the problems.
