Referring the matter to the Town Counsel for research revealed that charitable trust arrangements similar to the Public Library trusteeship were authorized by statute for Library purposes solely and exclusively. Therefore the Town could not accept or appropriate money for the de- velopment of property conveyed to such a quasi - public vehicle as had been contemplated. The Beach Trustees suggested special legislation to overcome these obstacles and permit such an operation for Duxbury. However, when this proposal was referred to Mr. Tilden, our Repre- sentative in the General Court, for his advice. he replied, after consultation with the Assistant (Acting) House Counsel, that the time was not opportune for considera- tion of such legislation, because it might "stir up" those groups anxious for State control.
This point had been reached at the time of the last Annual Town Meeting. Your Committee still felt that a compromise solution suitable to the Town and Trustees was possible and imminent, for we were assured that the matter would be referred to the Counsel for the Beach Association for him to determine just how far the Trus- tees might bend and still feel they were fulfilling their charge under their trust agreement. At that Annual Meeting the Committee was charged to continue talks with the Trustees.
Your Committee took the position that the advice of Mr. Tilden should be accepted and no move for Special Legislation made until after Town ownership was an es-
77
tablished fact. It suggested that the Recreation Area could be best entrusted to the care of a Town Department known as Trustees of Soldiers Memorials (provided for in Section 105, Ch. 41, G. L.). These Trustees would be elected in the same manner as our present Cemetery Trustees and could control and develop the beach as a War Memorial. Your Committee asked the Trustees of the Beach Association if they would convey by gift or sale the desired portion of the beach, if the Committee were to recommend such a set up for its operation and develop- ment. The Trustees of the Beach Association were ada- mant in their position, and it is their right as the proper- ty owners so to be. They will not-they feel they cannot- assent to transfer of the property to the Town without outright guarantee by Legislative Act that the Town will have unquestionable authority to restrict use of the park- ing area to resident vehicles. There plainly is no such hard and fast guarantee by statute, although your Committee has felt strongly that the Town can (by scheduled use and /or charging of fees) accomplish this for all pratical pur- poses. Possibly this protracted negotiation seems like legalistic quibbling but your Committee, mindful of its position as representative of the Town and unwilling to prejudice any interest of the Town in acquiring property to be dedicated to so high a purpose, and the Trustees feel- ing irrevocably bound by a trust agreement and unwill- ing to risk a chance that the letter or spirit of that agree- ment be broken by any prospective owner, have reached a position where it becomes impossible for Duxbury to ac- quire the necessary stretch of beach by gift or unrestrict- ed transfer for any consideration.
It is the regret of your Committee to have to inform the Town that it can acquire the beach, to carry out the idea your Meeting has twice approved, only if it wishes to ob- tain the property under right of eminent domain (G. L. Ch. 79). This would not be an action desired by the Dux- bury Beach Association Trustees. The assessed value of
78
the desired tract of beach is low, the commercial possi- bilities are limited and therefore so taken (eminent do- main) any price the Town might be found required to pay should be small.
The decision rests with the Town. If Duxbury still de- sires to dedicate a section of her beach to sacred memory and to develop that area for the greater enjoyment of the many who owe such a debt to the few, it can obtain the Beach and carry out this Memorial project. If on the other hand Duxbury does not desire to take action strong- ly disapproved by the Trustees of the Beach Association, or after careful consideration, in the light of what other towns have accomplished in the Memorial field, now be- lieves another type of Memorial more suited to its desires, the Beach project should now be closed.

REPORT OF PLYMOUTH COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE 1948
The Plymouth County Extension Service is an educa- tional organization jointly promoted by the County of Plymouth, University of Massachusetts, and the United States Department of Agriculture. Agriculture, Home- making and 4-H Club Work, make up the three depart- ments within the Extension Service. In addition to gen- eral educational programs through meetings, circular letters, and publicity by newspaper and radio, individual visits are made to promote rural welfare, particularly as it is affected by agriculture.
The contribution of each town goes directly to the county treasury, where it is applied to the County Aid to Agriculture budget. The manner in which the Exten- sion Service projects are conducted does not make it pos- sible to segregate these funds for town use exclusively. However, sums much in excess of those appropriated in each town are expended through direct and indirect ap- proach to many town problems.
Furthermore, the Extension Service, realizing its obli- gation to the tax-paying public, takes particular care in making plans so that every town has equal opportunity to participate in its programs.
Guidance of the Extension Service is by a Board of nine Trustees who report to the Board of County Commission- ers. Each Department has an Advisory Council repre- sented by the Agriculture Council, the Women's Advisory Council, and the 4-H Advisory Committee.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON AIR PORTS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The committee investigation into "the advisibility of promoting a project for an aviation and landing field, and the possibilities of securing State and Federal Aid with or without the cooperation of other towns" has resulted in two separate investigations; i.e., the proposed Marsh- field airport as one, and the possibilities of an Airport within the town as the other.
It is the opinion of the committee that a class one air- port (this is the smallest class) within each town is more useful to its citizens than a class two or three, serving sev- eral towns. Therefore, the committee recommends that the town should not consider the proposed Marshfield air- port as a possibility.
As a result of the second part of the committee's investi- gation, it recommends an airport to be located on the western side of Route 3 between Birch Street and Aut- umn Avenue.
The Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission and the Commission of Aeronautics Administration have approv- ed this area for an airport and approved the site for a class one airport.
The proposed airport includes a single runway 2600 feet long by 300 feet wide with a paved surface 150 feet wide. The direction of the runway is approximately southwest to northwest. A parking area for automobiles and a park- ing apron for planes will be constructed. Buildings and facilities will be constructed and installed by the airport operátor. The single runway airport was recommended by the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission. This type
82
of airport has proven to be adequate in other towns such as Provincetown. It is much less costly to construct than the two runway airport.
The Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission recom- mended that the title, Airport Committee be changed to the Duxbury Municipal Airport Commission in order to prepare the town in its eventual dealings with the State and Federal governments. This change will in no way obligate the town or alter the functions of the committee until the town funds are actually appropriated for Air- port purposes. On 23 August 1948, the Selectmen created the Duxbury Municipal Airport Commission to take the place of the Duxbury Airport Committee.
The construction cost for the proposed airport is $85,000.00. On 3 September 1948, the commission filed an application for State and Federal funds. The cost distribution would be approximately as follows:
$42,500.00 - Federal Government - 50% of the total cost.
$21,250.00 - State Government - 25% of the total cost.
$21,250.00 - Town of Duxbury - 25% of the total cost.
The Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission notified the Town on January 5, 1949 that funds were available for the proposed Duxbury Airport provided the Town would be willing to act upon it at the 1949 Town Meeting.
The commission will arrange to have an article in the warrant asking the town to vote the money necessary to construct this airport.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
This completes the first year of your Finance Commit- tee as a separate Department. The duties of the office were strange to the entire Committee at the outset. How- ever, we feel we have made good progress in developing practices and procedures which will enable this Commit- tee, in its advisory capacity, to be of genuine service to the Town.
Organization was accomplished in early May and monthly meetings were generally held thereafter. Pres- sure of personal business made it necessary for Mr. Reed of the original Committee slate to resign and Mr. Nelson was appointed by the Moderator to fill the vacancy.
Prior to the Special Town Meeting of last July your Committee held a public hearing on all articles appearing in the Warrant for the meeting. As a result of informa- tion gained we were able to report our recommendations to the Town Meeting. The fact that our advice was seem- ingly well considered by the Town was a source of grati- fication. Our budget recommendations will accompany the published copy of the Warrant for the 1949 Annual Town Meeting·
Statute invests the authority for disbursement, through transfer, of the Reserve Fund with the Finance commit- tee. This is the Fund appropriated to provide for "extra- ordinary or unforseen" expenditures which can cause any Department to exceed its particular appropriation. Dur- ing the past year the following transfers were made:
Election and Registration $ 64.30
Department of Public Welfare 321.07
Police Protection Department 839.87
86
Fire Protection Department
300.00
Snow and Ice Department
300.00
In 1948 the sum of $3,000.00 was appropriated for this Fund.
The Committee expresses its thanks to the other Depart- ments for whole hearted cooperation in assisting us to ob- tain the necessary information upon which we can base our recommendations to the Town. Special thanks are due the Board of Selectmen for their assistance in getting information to us in advance of the legal requirements, and other helpful consideration.

REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
The Board of Appeals held eighteen public hearings on petitions for variances of the Protective By-Law. One of these was withdrawn before the close of the hearing, and of the other seventeen, thirteen were granted and four refused. In making its decisions the Board endeavor- ed to act in accordance with the intent and purpose of the By-Law. Of the thirteen petitions granted only two en- countered any opposition at the well attended public hear- ings and the opposition was of minor importance in the opinion of the Board.

REPORT OF HARBOR MASTER
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :
During the year 1948 we have had 42 moorings in the basin. Most of the yachts were large ones. There were:
Two yachts 83 feet long Two schooners 35 feet long 4 Cabin cruisers 40 feet 6 Cabin cruisers 20 feet 10 Cabin cruisers 26 feet 4 Cruisers 20 feet
and a large number of 10 and 12 foot boats moored on the edge of the basin.
This summer we had to anchor visiting yachts in the channel as the basin was not large enough or deep enough to accommodate them. In 1939 the basin was dredged and was 900 feet wide and 1,200 feet long, with a depth of 6 to 8 feet at low water. In 1948 it has filled in one-third and the water is only three feet deep at low tide.

SARGENT C· BLACK,
Harbor Master.

REPORT OF VETERANS AGENT
1948
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
Duxbury, Massachusetts
I respectfully submit my report as Agent for the De- partment of Veterans Benefits, for the year 1948:
During the year we have had a total of ten cases, rep- resenting thirty-eight persons, who received ordinary benefits.
All cases were investigated frequently to make certain of their need.
We have filed federal pension claims for two, so as to cut down our expense.
One case suspended from receiving ordinary benefits as the recipient was found ineligible.
I attended lectures and Veterans Administration classes so I would be able to assist the Veterans and their de- pendants, and I gave out numerous forms and instructed the Veterans how to fill them out.
Between August 31 and September 18 the Department of Veterans Benefits registered one hundred thirty-three men, eighteen years to twenty-five years of age, under the Selective Service Act of 1948.
Our appropriation was $6,300. We expended $4,365.33 and have a balance of $1,934.67 to be turned back to the town. Approximately half of the money expended will be reimbursed to the town by the State.
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY P. McNEIL, Agent Department of Veterans Benefits.

REPORT OF THE DUXBURY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
To the Selectmen and the People of Duxbury :
The Transportation Committee organized shortly after its appointment in March 1948. After discussion to de- termine what best we could do, we decided to observe closely the development of the situation in the Old Colony Railroad system. Members of the Committee attended numerous hearings at the State House and various meet- ings held in our area. Before the Special Legislative Com- mittee we put the Town on record for continuance of rail- road service.
Last summer, when new management took control of the New Haven System, they promised to try to continue service and to improve it. Already some new equipment has been added and the outlook appears favorable.
It is important that as many people as possible use the train and also the bus to Kingston. Some are thoughtless- ly using other means of transportation to Kingston. If the bus service is dropped for lack of patronage the use of the trains will diminish. Your committee urges all citi- zens to use both the bus and train whenever they can do so.
It is recommended that the Town continue to have a Committee on this problem which is so important to the best interests of all of us.
If we want these services, we must support them.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM W. MCCARTHY CHESTER W. NICHOLS FRANCIS W. PERRY ROSWELL F. PHELPS, Secretary WALTER G. PRINCE, Chairman
