Duxbury Free Library
In December 1953, the present librarian com- pleted her first calendar year as librarian of the Dux- bury Free Library. It is a source of much satisfaction for the librarian to report that 1953 has been a year of marked and steady growth for the Library. There has been an increase of 11,447 in the circulation over that of 1952, an increase of almost 1000 a month. The total cir- culation was 33,699. Five hundred and seventy-four res- idents took out cards during the year and 366 of these were new borrowers. The total registration is now 1383.
In view of this widely increased use of the Library, it has been quite impossible since last May, when our help was curtailed to some extent, to carry on any systematic programme connected with the discarding of unnecessary material and the re-cataloguing of the books. While the discarding goes on daily in connec- tion with the regular library routine, the big problem of re-cataloguing the Library remains to be solved. With the growing demands made upon the Library and its facilities, the Librarian and Staff have had to devote every minute to serving the public; filling their requests, keeping abreast of the new books, try- ing to fill in the gaps in the book-collection and endeav- oring to make the Library as attractive and useful as possible.
This increased use of the Library in a growing community poses a real problem for the Librarian who hopes to build up and maintain a high standard for the Library. On a small book-budget, reduced by the tripled price of books in the last few years, it is difficult to supply the books which are requested. It is earnestly hoped that a larger book-budget may be avail- able in 1954.
The work with the Young Adults and Children is
-57-
progressing by leaps and bounds. The need for more books in this department and in the reference collec- tion is also an urgent one. Gradually the work with the schools is developing, with many of the teachers bringing their classes to visit the Library. The children register if they have not already taken out a card and select books for themselves and together with their teacher pick out a deposit for their class-room. In December the Librarian visited the Elementary School and read Christmas stories to the first and second Grades.
During Education Week in November, the Parent- Teacher's Association and the Library co-operated in holding a two-day "Book Fair," in the High School auditorium. New books to be sold were sent down from the New England News Company and by Mrs. Fletcher Colby of the "Junior Reviewers." Mrs. Colby ex- pressed a desire to do something for Duxbury and generously donated the money received from the sale of the books to the Library. The Parent-Teacher's Association and the Library shared what profit was made from the sale of the New England News Company books. In connection with the Fair, the Librarian ar- ranged a "miniature library" exhibit with the hope that it would induce the public to further investigation of the Library's treasures. This exhibit included a rep- resentative collection of about 300 adult and junior books of all classes. So much interest was evi- denced by visitors at the Fair that the Librarian and Staff felt well repaid for all of the extra work which was connected with this event. Many requests have been received at the Library for books which were "seen at the Fair."
A service to "shut-ins" was also inaugurated in 1953 and is now being carried on by volunteer workers.
Repairs to the building have been made as the
-58-
need arose and in February 1953 the floors were sanded and polished. This excellent job restored the wood to its original beauty and all who came to the Library were enthusiastic in their praise of the im- proved appearance of the Library. At long last the big clock over the fireplace is in running order, which accomplishment is also a source of satisfaction to all.
On May 13, 1953, the Library suffered a grievous loss in the death of Mr. H. B. Bradley, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. His genial presence, his enthusiastic support of the plans suggested for the re- organization of the Library, his understanding of the problems involved and his advice and help in all direc- tions were of invaluable support to the new Librarian. Mr. Bradley has been and still is deeply missed by the Librarian and the Staff.
In bringing this report to a close, the Librarian wishes to emphasize once more, the most immediate needs of the Library. They are: a larger book-budget, an increase in salary for the Staff which would enable them to give a few more hours each week to the Library and some provisions for a part-time worker who could be called upon in the event of illness among the members of the Staff and during vacations. It has been most fortunate for the Library that Mrs. Margaret R. Bates has been able to assist on Saturday evenings and that she is available when needed.
The Librarian wishes to extend her thanks and appreciation to the Trustees, to the Staff, to the Dux- bury Community Garden Club and to all of the "friends of the Library" who have done so much during the past year to add to the pleasure of working in the Duxbury Free Library.
Respectfully submitted, MINNIE BURKE FIGMIC,
Librarian.

Report of the Planning Board
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Duxbury:
The tabulation of building permits issued by the Selectmen for new construction is as follows:

During the calendar year 1953 the Board voted approval of 7 subdivisions. The Planning Board was asked to consider 9 subdivisions on either a formal or informal basis, and after the new subdivision control law became effective, as detailed below, was asked to endorse 13 plans prior to recording, with the statement that "approval under the subdivision control law not required." The largest single subdivision to come be- fore the Board was the one for "Duxbury Lake Shores" located adjacent to the shore of Lower Chandler Pond on the Duxbury-Pembroke town line and involving in Duxbury 69 lots, excluding 5, which were adjudged by the Board of Health to be unsuitable for building. (Duxbury Lake Shores lies South and a bit East of Birch Street one-half mile approximately Southwest of Route 3 on Birch Street. Birch Street leaves Route 3 in a South- westerly direction three quarters of a mile on Route 3 Northwest of the Tarkiln School, now the Tarkiln Recreation Center) .
Revisions in the Subdivision Control Law enacted in 1953 became effective October 2nd 1953 and applied automatically to all Planning Boards already function- ing. The major effect, so far as Duxbury is concerned, is to require endorsement by the Duxbury Planning Board of practically every plan of land to be conveyed in the Town of Duxbury, prior to the recording of the
-- 61-
plans. Because of the increased clerical load thus caused, and because of the increasing value and vol- ume of the Planning Board's correspondence and map files, the Board of Selectmen, cooperative and helpful as is their custom, are making arrangements for office space for the Planning Board. We feel sure that this step will make it more convenient for those persons having business with the Planning Board to get in touch with the Board and so far as the Board is concerned, the advantage of having a regular meet- ing place at which all our filed data will be available during the meeting is enormous.
The revised subdivision control law defines "sub- division" and then goes on to define certain specific cases which shall not be considered to be subdivisions as follows:
"provided, however, that the division of a tract of land into two or more lots shall not be deemed to constitute a subdivision within the meaning of the subdivision control law if, at the time when it is made, every lot within the tract so divided has frontage on a public way or a way shown on a plan theretofore approved in accordance with the subdivision control law, of at least such distance as is then required by zoning or other ordinance or by-law, if any, of said city or town for erection of a building on such lot, and if no distance is so required, has such frontage of at least twenty feet. Conveyances or other instruments adding to, taking away from, or changing the size and shape of, lots in such a manner as not to leave any lot so affected without the frontage above set forth, or the division of a tract of land on which two or more buildings were standing when the subdivision control law went into effect in the city or town in which the land lies into separate lots on each of which
-62-
one of such buildings remains standing, shall also not be deemed to constitute a subdivision."
Municipal Planning and Subdivision Control Legislation Section 81 L of Chapter 41, G. L. (Chapter 494-1913 with amendments through and including Chapter 674-1953)
We quote the portion of the statute given above to indicate the type of plan not a subdivision, which will now under the revised statute require the endorsement of the Planning Board.
In the case of a plan, not a subdivision, on which the endorsement of the Planning Board is desired, it will not be necessary to be present at a meeting of the Board. Just leave two copies of the plan in ques- tion for the attention of the Clerk of the Duxbury Planning Board with a letter of explanation, telling for what purpose the endorsement is desired and referring to a description of the property in sufficient detail to identi- fy the plan and the name of the person who surveyed it. If the Planning Board agrees that there is no sub- division involved, it will vote at its next regular meet- ing to authorize the Clerk to endorse the plan. The clerk will retain one endorsed copy of the plan with the letter of explanation for the Board's files, and return the other endorsed copy to the person who pre- sented the plan. If the endorsement is needed on a tracing rather than a blue-print, the Clerk, or other authorized member of the Board, will provide it on the tracing at a time mutually convenient, usually when the endorsed print is picked up. The Clerk of the Board does not wish tracings left in his custody where no subdivision is involved.
Your Board made a start on the Study Map of the Town, but we were unable to do much of any work on
-63-
the Study Map after it was presented at the Town Meet- ing and Election on March 14th and 21st 1953 because of lack of funds. We plan to continue the Study Map in 1954 and wish particularly to make detailed study of Hall's Corner with a view toward presenting an article for action at the Town Meeting in March 1955.
As a result of suggestions received from many sources and because of the unanimity of the opinions expressed by those citizens who took advantage of our "suggestion box" under the maps at the 1953 Town Meeting, we are planning to sponsor an article on House Numbering in the Warrant for 1954. This would be an entirely voluntary matter as we propose it, and would merely provide for a numbering plan so that any house owner who desires may determine the proper number for his house or lot, and if he feels inclined place on display this "official" number which would not later have to be changed. We estimate the cost of the necessary tracings or "vellums" for the numbering plan and the engineering and drafting time involved to be $600.00.
As this report is written, it appears that it will be desirable to consider a building code for Duxbury which we understand may be adopted as a by-law by a majority vote at a Town Meeting. Your Planning Board feels very strongly that consideration should be given to increasing either the minimum street frontage required in the zoning by law, or the minimum lot size required, or both, in most of the area presently zoned for residence use, in order that the rural character of Duxbury may be preserved for our descendents. Your Board feels that this rural atmosphere is what attracts to Duxbury the type of families who make the Town as we know it and love it today. We feel that relatively large lots, and houses not packed too closely together
-64-
will tend to continue this rural character, and that as a result Duxbury will continue to appeal to people who will preserve its rural tradition.
Acknowledgement
The Planning Board wishes to acknowledge the co-operation and aid of the Board of Selectmen in the enforcement of zoning and planning regulations. The Highway Superintendent, the Superintendent and Com- missioners of the Water District, and the Agent of the Board of Health, have been always co-operative and helpful where consideration of Highway, Water or Sani- tary facilities were involved in subdivision control.
We continue our hope that the citizens will call to our attention areas in which the Planning Board can be of service in preserving that which we consider valu- able in Duxbury and in directing its growth and change in a satisfactory manner.
Respectfully submitted,
OLIVER L. BARKER, Clerk KENNETH G. GARSIDE CHARLES H. WANSKER PERCY L. WALKER ATHERTON LORING, Acting Chairman
