DUXBURY TWO-WAY RADIO COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Committee appointed by you "to study the desir- ability and practicability of establishing a modern two- way radio communication system throughout the several Town Departments and bring in a report, including esti- mate of cost at the next Town Meeting," submits the following report:
There seemed to be no question that the various Town Departments desired radio communication.
To apply a modern two-way radio communication system to the various Town Departments with the best coverage, and in the most economical manner, was the biggest problem of your committee. In the study of sev- eral other Towns' systems, we found they made use of matching funds from Civil Defense.
Our best thoughts with the information obtained was a system to include:
1 Base Station (heavy duty) with 50 foot self sup- porting mast
4 Remote Controls
13 Mobile Units
Your Committee feels the base station should be lo- cated in the Police Department, where there is available emergency power and a man on duty 24 hours a day to operate it.
With a remote control in the Police, Fire, Water, and Highway Department offices you would have coverage of all mobile units, plus communication between remote control stations by leased telephone lines, which would
-------
-152-
tie the remote control units together to make use of the one base station or power plant.
The committee allocated the mobile units as follows:
2 Tree and Park Departments
4 Water Department
7 Highway Department
It was the thought of your committee any Depart- ment could be added to this functional system anytime in the future when the Town thought it necessary.
For technical and engineering advice on this matter your committee was fortunate in that A. J. Nielson, who works for Duxbury Fire and Police Departments, offered his services. His estimated cost of the above described system installed was $11,500.
It is our understanding, to obtain Civil Defense as- sistance, the Town appropriates this amount of money, and then can apply for the matching funds.

REPORT OF THE DUXBURY FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Duxbury Finance Committee held its organiza- tional meeting on May 25, 1962 at which time new mem- bers Wallace L. Macaulay, Haven Sawyer, Jr., Clarence W. Walker and Walter C. Wrye, Jr. were welcomed, and the following officers were elected:
Chairman, Charles M. Tenney, Jr. Vice Chairman, Charles H. Fargo Secretary, Haven Sawyer, Jr.
Also, various sub-committees were appointed to carry out all the necessary procedures required for the entire com- mittee to make intelligent recommendations on depart- mental budgets. A Capital Outlay Sub-Committee was appointed with Theodore H. Reed as chairman. It will be the function of this body to recommend to the Finance Committee the proper accruals to the Stabilization Fund based on their study of future large capital items and the most economical manner in which to finance them.
During the fall several field trips were made to the major departments in order that members could fully understand their operations. The committee appreciates the extra time that these Department Heads devote to us since it makes our work more meaningful and less time consuming.
Discussions were held with the Selectmen regarding the possibility of closing the warrant two weeks earlier. Since this committee has only one week in which to study some special articles before going to press, it is under- standable why many do not contain recommendations. We feel that this extra time will allow voters to receive the printed warrant with practically all of the Finance Committee's recommendations.

The possibility of centralizing gasoline storage and quantity purchases for all Town departments was dis- cussed with the Selectmen. Preliminary figures indicate that some savings could be realized.
Each year certain "extraordinary or unforeseen ex- penditures" become necessary. A Reserve Fund to meet these emergencies is voted at Town Meeting each year and the Finance Committee is charged with the responsi- bility of deciding when funds should be transferred. During the year the committee has made the following transfers:

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
January 4, 1963
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Duxbury, Massachusetts
It was felt by the heads and members of the several service departments in the Town of Duxbury that the Civil Defense Department could be of great service to the people, if it was organized primarily to handle "Local Disasters" such as floods, hurricanes, snow storms, etc. With all this in mind we have reorganized the Civil De- fense Department to use all the existing town operated service departments, along with privately owned enter- prises such as garages, school bus operations, and all the different contractors of the town.
-164-
However, we have not overlooked the nuclear threat. We all fully realize the possibility of a National Disaster such as a nuclear attack. We have three fully qualified radiological instructors who will set up and train person- nel for several monitoring stations to meet the recom- mendations of the Massachusetts C.D. Agency.
The C.D. headquarters have been moved to the Cen- tral Fire Station. A communication center has been set up there to give contact with the state CD Agency, Dis- trict CD Agencies, State and Local Police, all Fire services in the Plymouth County network, and "Ham" operators. We hope to have contact with all the town operated agen- cies, if favorable action is taken on an article in the war- rant, for radios to be placed in the town vehicles. The Central Fire Station is manned at all times, and it has its own source of power along with a self contained alert system.
At the present time we have met all the qualifications of the Federal CD Agency to receive the benefits of avail- able matching funds. Following this report will be found on outline of the organization of our plan.
In closing we are proud to state that the heads and members of all the departments and others named in the outline have pledged their full support to carry out the plan. We all feel this will add greatly to the protection of life and property in the Town of Duxbury in the event of an emergency.
Respectfully submitted,

CONSERVATION COMMISSION STUDY COMMITTEE
Report of the Study Committee appointed at the 1962 Town Meeting to determine the merit of a Town Conservation Commission as opposed to a Commission formed by the acceptance of Section 8C of Chapter 40 of the General Laws.
The Committee has had numerous meetings, has ac- quired and digested much literature, has talked to a large number of persons, official and otherwise, and has held a public hearing in Duxbury. As a result, the Committee unanimously recommends that a Conservation Commis- sion under Section 8C of Chapter 40 of the General Laws be established by the Town. The Committee assumes that there is no dissent to the general need of conserva- tion - the only question is the best method.
I. What is a Conservation Commission and what can it do?
In determining whether or not the Town should vote to establish a Conservation Commission, the first thing to find out is what a Conservation Commission is and what it can do if established.
The State, waiving its own power to establish such a Commission without local participation (of which more later) has provided by General Laws, Chapter 40, Section 8C, that a Conservation Commission may be established by vote of the Town. The purposes of such a commission are as follows:
Such commission shall conduct researches into its local land areas and shall seek to co-ordinate the activities of unofficial bodies organized for similar purposes, and may advertise, prepare, print and distribute books, maps, charts, plans and pamphlets which in its judgment it deems necessary for its work. It shall keep an index of all open areas within the city or town, as the case
-168-
may be, with the plan of obtaining information pertinent to proper utilization of such open areas, including lands owned by the commonwealth or lands owned by a city or town. It shall keep an index of all open marshlands, swamps and all other wet lands in a like manner, and may rec- ommend to the city council or selectmen and, sub- ject to the approval of the city council or select- men, to the department of natural resources and to the state reclamation board a program for the better promotion, development or utilization of all such areas. It shall keep accurate records of its meetings and actions and shall file an annual report which shall be printed in the case of towns in the annual town report.
It shall consist of from three to seven members ap- pointed by the Selectmen (not the Moderator). Its pow- ers, and this is the most important point, are as follows:
Said commission may receive gifts of property, both real and personal, in the name of the city or town, subject to the approval of the city council in a city or the selectmen in a town, such gifts to be managed and controlled by the commission for the purposes of this section. Said commission may acquire by gift, purchase, grant, bequest, de- vise, lease or otherwise the fee in such land or water rights or any lesser interest, development right, easement, covenant, or other contractual right including conveyances on conditions or with limitations or reversions, as may be necessary to acquire, maintain, improve, protect, limit the future use of or otherwise conserve and properly utilize open spaces and other land and water areas within their city or town, and shall man- age and control the same.
--
-169-
The last sentence, on its face, might be read to mean that the Commission alone, without the Selectmen, could make acquisitions, but the opinion of the sponsors of the Act and the opinion of the Committee is that the clause in the first sentence requiring the approval of the Select- men for gifts carries over to purchases. Otherwise, for example, there would be contradictory provisions regard- ing gifts. The same last sentence which gives the Town the right to acquire less than a total ownership in lands, and to acquire any type of interest subject to conditions should be particularly noted. In a word, the purposes of the Commission are (1) to keep the Town and its authori- ties aware of the possibilities and particular opportunities for conservation, and (2) to acquire, within the limits of Town appropriations and the approval of the Selectmen by gift or purchase such lands and interest in lands as may be most beneficial to the whole conservation picture.
The Act (Chapter 40, Section 5 [51]) also allows but does not compel a yearly appropriation of not more than 1/20 of 1% of the assessed value of the Town (about $6500) but not more than $15,000, to be used for the above purposes, and these appropriations, if made, may be, unlike most other funds, accumulated in a conservation fund for use when appropriate.
The Town has a double check on all expenditures of the Commission.
(1) It does not have to appropriate a penny in any year.
(2) Money when appropriated can only be spent with the approval of the Selectmen. The Commission on its own cannot rush out and acquire property or interests in property even by gift. These also require approval by the Selectmen.
-
-170-
So far, the State has nothing to do with the Commis- sion, and if so desired by the Town, need never have any- thing to do with it. Only if the Town so wishes, the State has provided (General Laws, Chapter 132A, Section 11) that it will pay up to 1/2 the cost of a project approved by it, but note here again, this cannot be done unless the Town by a special vote has authorized the total expendi- tures from the conservation fund. Neither the Commis- sion nor the Selectmen can obtain their state aid without a vote of the whole Town.
In other words, as the act stands, the Commission, the Selectmen and the Town in these matters are entirely free from State control. The Town, but not the Commission or the Selectmen, may in certain cases apply for State aid but is not bound to do so and the whole program may be carried out with no reference whatever to State authority.
-----
--
Objections have been made that the acceptance of this act will in some way give, or may give, the state control over local conservation matters. We have carefully con- sidered these objections and believe them to be without substance.
(1) The State always has, now has and always will have under our present form of government complete control over all matters concerning cities and towns. As pointed out by the objectors, it has frequently used such authority and the State could, if it were so minded, abolish Town government altogether and substitute, for example, a French prefectural system where the executives of politi- cal subdivisions are appointed by the the State. So the State could establish Conservation Commissions in cities and towns answerable to the State as a whole and not to the citizens of the town. But the State has not done so. Far from exercising its undoubted power over conservation matters, it has in effect waived this power and handed it
---- --
-171-
to the towns where, we all agree, it properly belongs. It is true the act may be amended and the town cannot help it, but it is equally true that the state could have originally passed an upalatable act and it is not nearly as likely that once they have passed a proper act, it will be rescinded or substantially amended. As a matter of fact, the Town, in the opinion of the Committee, is in possible danger of being forced into a conservation program it does not like if it does not accept this act. With few exceptions, most of the towns in the eastern part of the state, and again with a few exceptions, all the towns on the east coast, have ac- cepted the act and have commissions. Will not the State, with the powerful drive for conservation that exists, merely throw up its hands with towns that have not ac- cepted its bounty, so to speak, and insist on some form of commission controlled by it to avoid what it may well deem small gaps in the necessarily over-all picture of con- servation.
II. What do other towns think of the Act?
The question answers itself. 132 cities and towns have accepted the act and many more are considering it. Most of these towns are in the eastern part of the state with an overwhelming majority of the towns on the coast. To fol- low the coast-Newburyport, Newbury, Rowley, Ipswich, Rockport, Manchester, Beverly, Marblehead, Swampscott, Nahant, Cohasset, Scituate, Marshfield, Plymouth, Bourne, Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, Truro-an impressive array, and most of them towns like ours.
III. A. Advantages of the Commission.
The Commission can do a number of most important things that now cannot be done or are, through no one's fault, not being properly done.
