REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
The first meeting of your Finance Committee was held in May, 1955. At that time, William A. Scherff was elected Chairman, A. Charles Waghorne, Vice-Chairman, Ralph H. Osborn, Secre- tary. The three new members, appointed by the Moderator, and welcomed to the Committee at this first meeting were: Winthrop A. Clark, Harrison Street; Ralph H. Osborn, Summer Street, West Duxbury; Harry H. Whiton, Temple Street, North Duxbury. We would like to call to your attention, the excellent distribution of Finance Committee members throughout the town areas.
It was necessary to make numerous transfers from the Reserve Fund of $7,500.00, and these transfers are listed elsewhere in the Town Report. Such transfers are for unforseen or emergency requirements and can legally be made only upon a majority vote of the Finance Committee.
The transfer of funds from Reserve is the only legal power that the Finance Committee has. Otherwise the Finance Com- mittee's work is advisory - that any power that it has must result from the force of public opinion behind it. This, in turn, results from your understanding and appreciation of the Finance Com- mittee as a trustworthy interpreter of bewildering municipal ques- tions, and as the voters may not appreciate, an indispensable means of continuing the town form of government. (1)
Under this interpretation, your Finance Committee has a two- fold responsibility-1. To examine current Budget and Warrant Article expenditure requests and report their recommendations to the town; 2. To make such recommendations on long-range financial planning, to the Selectmen, as may appear desirable and occur during the course of their current work.
With this latter in mind, your Finance Committee has under way a 10-year study of town income and expenditures, concur-
135
rently with the work on proposed 1956 budgets. This work has not been completed in time to be included in this report. The Committee will, therefore, make an additional report summarizing its findings at the March 10th Town Meeting under Article 2.
We are highly appreciative of the hours of time given us by the various Town Departments and Committees. The School Com- mittee, Welfare Board and Water Commissioners have been par- ticularly helpful and generous of their time. This is given specific mention because the budgets involved represent a high percentage of the Town's total expenditures.
We conclude this preliminary report with special appreciation to the Board of Selectmen for their continued cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM A. SCHERFF, Chairman A. CHARLES WAGHORNE, Vice-Chairman RALPH H. OSBORN, Secretary JAMES H. W. JENNER LOUIS B. TURA JACK BARRY H. GILBERT FRANCKE WINTHROP A. CLARK HARRY H. WHITON

REPORT OF SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
December 9, 1955
To the Citizens of Duxbury :
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project of its activities in the town of Duxbury for the year ending December 31, 1955.
The town of Duxbury appropriated $7,600 for mosquito control for 1955. This money was used for mosquito control in the town of Duxbury by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a co- operative effort embracing the city of Quincy, and towns of Brain- tree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marshfield, Scituate and Weymouth.
TYPE OF CONTROL PROGRAM
The basic program of control continued to be based on drain- age in the off season and larvaciding of all areas found to be breeding during the mosquito season. This was supplemented by the use of a fog generator to combat flying mosquitoes.
AERIAL SPRAYING
The spring spraying of all fresh water swamps, too large to be treated by hand, was done in the latter part of April.
In June it became evident that migration of adult mosquitoes from uncontrolled areas outside the project was occurring. In addition, it was clear that in certain areas, swamps which had been sprayed in April had produced a second batch of mosquitoes. Therefore, an additional treatment was applied.
2,340 acres were sprayed by air in the town of Duxbury.
137
GROUND SPRAYING
The ground crews circulated on a schedule throughout their sections of the project. They varied from this circuit to treat in the vicinity of complaints or to treat places found breeding by the superintendent or the inspector. They then returned to their rounds.
Following the heavy floods of August, these crews bore an ex- ceptionally heavy load. Breeding of mosquitoes was found in practically every wet spot including lawns and areas never in the history of the project found to be wet. Crews worked overtime during that period spraying all areas they could find.
CATCHBASIN SPRAYING
This important phase of urban mosquito control was attacked for the first time by the project this past year.
In June, the three-wheeled Cushman Truckster purchased last winter, was put into service. By August, a three-wheeled motor- cycle and its equipment had been delivered. This was in service for the rest of the season.
In addition to the two units mentioned above, treatment of catchbasins was also done from the crew trucks by means of a hydraulic sprayer.
All catchbasins were treated twice during the season and some three times.
Next year we shall be able to begin the year with two units and expect to have a third one in service by July 1. It is antici- pated that all basins will be treated at least three times and, if found necessary, a fourth treatment will be applied.
138
DRAINAGE
Drainage and elimination of mosquito breeding places has been considered the keystone of mosquito control by leaders in the mosquito control field from the very beginning.
The project has limited its action to work on the minor streams in the area. The altering of major water courses requires detailed engineering study and considerably more equipment or money for contracting for such equipment than this project has available.
The August floods, while they produced large broods of mos- quitoes at the time, had an additional and even more costly effect on the operation of the project when one considers the drainage problem.
Many of the streams and culverts previously cleaned were re- filled with debris and sand and must receive further attention. Some drainage formerly considered to be in fair shape has now become critical. In addition, the floods in many cases made bad situations even worse.
The above has greatly increased the amount of work the project must do.
The matter of drainage on the salt marshes has been ap- proached from a different viewpoint this year. In former years all such work was done by hand. This year the project purchased an Oliver OC-6, crawler type tractor equipped with a scavel plow.
This plow is designed specifically for cleaning standard salt marsh ditches. In addition, it is possible to cut new ditches with the machine by making several trips along the line of the desired ditch, each trip digging deeper than the last.
The first time a ditch is cleaned with this machine, two or sometimes more trips down the ditch are necessary to push out the accumulation of mud and debris. It is expected that after a ditch has once been cleaned, the ditch will be relatively clean and
-
139
the sides relatively square. Under these conditions only one trip per ditch will be necessary and much more rapid coverage of the marshes will be possible in future years.
Although this machine is very efficient, it is by design limited to salt marshes and similar fresh water situations. It must be com- plemented by hand work where ditches are too wide and where terrain is too rough.
In the town of Duxbury, 700 feet of ditches have been cleaned, 22,150 feet reclaimed and no feet of new ditch has been dug. This figure includes both fresh and salt marsh work.
FOGGING
This past two seasons the project has had in operation a Todd Insecticidal Fog Applicator, commonly called a Tifa. This ma- chine emits a fog containing small particles of insecticide which drifts with the air currents over the area, wiping out all mosquitoes and other flying insects contacted.
The machine is of considerable value in cutting down invasions of mosquitoes from large breeding places and is our only means of control in areas where our chemicals may contaminate water supply.
The emergence of large numbers of mosquitoes following the floods of August demanded that this machine be operated every night conditions permitted. This work was, for the most part, in excess of figures budgeted for labor and insecticides. Provisions have been made for such work in plans for next year's operations.

PLANS FOR WINTER
Throughout the months between the past and coming mosquito breeding seasons much attention will be given to ditching. Work on the salt marsh will be done in the Fall and early Spring and the colder Winter months will be spent in the more protected fresh water areas.
When snow and ice conditions are right, prehatch dusting, as was done the last two years, will be done. The success of last year's work along these lines makes it feasible to expand this program to as much as help and weather permit.
141
In addition to the ground dusting noted above it is planned to make small scale prehatch application of DDT dust and DDT granulated insecticide from the air.
Success with either or both materials would enable us to split our application to spray breeding swamps between late winter and early spring. This would relieve the spring work load, which is now very heavy, make it possible to pick optimum weather con- ditions for application, and relieve the pressure on the air spray companies who are in demand everywhere at that time of the year.
PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR
All phases of the work carried on last year will continue. Two phases will be intensified: catch basin work and ditching. Modi- fications will be applied to the fogging program.
Since weather conditions and terrain have such an effect on fogging operations certain changes in materials used in the ma- chine and changes in method of operation will be made, based on the experience of other projects and recent research.
Catchbasin work will be speeded up by the addition of another unit and operation of the present two for a full season. In addi- tion, in line with recent experience elsewhere, the concentration of the spray will be raised. Indications are that longer residual effect will be achieved.
Ditching with the tractor will proceed throughout the Spring, Summer and Fall. This is in contrast to the past when such work was done by hand in the Spring and Fall.
In addition, the crew working with the tractor will be avail- able for fresh water drainage work when tide makes it impossible to work on the salt marsh.
142
PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED
The major problems of this project are three: drift in of adults from uncontrolled areas, weather conditions and availability of aircraft at the time of spring spraying, and the conditions of main water courses in the several towns.
Events are occurring which point toward the correction of these problems.
In the matter of "drift-in," the formation of this project has increased interest in mosquito control in surrounding areas. There is now before the Legislature a bill to establish mosquito control in all towns of Norfolk County not now in a project. This will give us protection along approximately one-third of our perimeter. In addition, interest has been intensified in other bordering towns so that in the near future we may get protection from these towns.
Weather conditions and availability of aircraft at the proper time for spring application has always been a problem. The super- intendent will, therefore, carry on limited field trials of new meth- ods for making such applications during a season when time is not so pressing and good weather can be taken as it occurs.
The recent floods have focused attention on the condition of the major water courses of the area. In many cases these streams are not adequate to carry off the water now entering them from newly built up areas, which in their natural condition tend to ab- sorb the precipitation and thus lessen flood levels. In some cases man-made blockages compound the problem.
It is probable that this problem will be dealt with in the near future, indeed steps have already been taken in several of the towns.
Any strides in this direction will contribute to mosquito con- trol since large ponded areas on the local meadows will be cut down and when the streams are at a low enough level, lateral ditch- ing can be put into the adjacent swampland.

REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Elementary School wing has been completed and in op- eration for one complete school year. Your committee expects to remain in force throughout this second school year to finish a few items not yet completed to our satisfaction.
Upon this satisfactory performance of the entire contract, your committee will make final payment to the contractor.
In addition to buying the remaining needed equipment, our main project during this past year has been the landscaping. We have received many compliments about the trees and shrubbery surrounding the new wing and auditorium. The entire credit for this fine piece of work should go to Warren Stetson, who very ably handled this detail.
It is estimated that we should be able to return to the Town an amount of over $40,000.00 of unspent funds from our original appropriation of $431,000. Added to this figure will be the 20 per cent return which the State School Building Assistance Commis- sion reimburses the Town.
Your chairman wishes to thank each member of your com- mittee, our architect, Mr. William B. Coffin, and our Superin- tendent of Schools, Dr. Everett Handy, for their very sincere interest and personal attention.
