B. General Purposes.
The purposes include an over-all mapping and organi- zation of the Town from the conservation point of view. It is true that the Selectmen, the Planning Board, the Wa- ter Board and others have in each case some responsibility for conservation, but in each case this is not their major responsibility and they have many other more immediate matters to attend to and any planning they may do is on their own, fragmentary and possibly overlapping with other authorities. We need hardly speak of the necessity of conservation, particularly of the marshes, in view of the large attendance at the hearing last fall when the ques- tion of filling seven acres of marsh was first raised. To have a central body with official status that can coordinate the work of other town authorities and make recommen- dations to them for a proper over-all program seems to us to be essential. As a member of the Planning Board, the Chairman should certainly welcome such help and we are sure the other Boards and authorities will feel the same way. Without such planning, many opportunities for proper conservation may well be lost.
C. Powers.
The commission can within the limitations specified in each case do some things which cannot be now done at all, and others could never be effectively done by private means. All these things will flow naturally from the studies it will make to determine what is best for conser- vation in Duxbury.
(1) Within the appropriations by the Town at the Town Meeting (which may run from nothing to about $6500 annually) and with the approval of the Selectmen, it may purchase lands or interest in lands (of which more later) for the Town to be administered by it for conserva- tion purposes. Such appropriations, when and if made,
-
-173-
may be held over so that they will not have to be frittered away on minor and unimportant acquisitions, but will be sufficient for important and significant acquisitions from time to time.
(2) With the approval of the Selectmen it may acquire by gift such lands or interest in lands.
(3) It may recommend to the Town in any particular case that State aid up to 1/2 the cost of any project be sought. If so, the Town at a Town Meeting (not the Com- mission or the Selectmen) must vote the whole amount of the funds for which the State is asked for reimbursement of 1/2. These powers, subject to the rigid controls pro- vided, are unique and cannot be duplicated by private means.
(4) Note that there are no powers of Eminent Domain under the law. All lands or interest in land to be acquired must be by gift or purchase.
D. Possible Alternatives
(1) a. What about a so-called Town Conservation Commission? Actually this would be only a private cha- itable organization, no different from the Duxbury Rural and Historical Society with no powers that this Society or any similar Society might have. It is true that the Rural Society now owns and can acquire land or interests in lands and that other private trusts can be established for this purpose. But where can they get the money and how can a prospective donor or seller be sure that such organization, dependent entirely on private contributions, can effectively keep and maintain such acquisitions? We certainly hope that the Rural Society will continue to be a significent factor in the Town, but it depends on modest dues that cannot be substantially increased and such dues are fully used up in maintaining its present properties.
-174-
If there were a drive for substantial funds to purchase more property or even if it were given too much land to maintain, it is probable it could not keep up as it has. A fortiori, as the lawyers say, no new trust to be estab- lished could make any guarantee of indefinite future per- formance. No private organization or Town Conservation Commission can possibly raise the regular funds for con- servation that can be raised by the Town, if it so desires, for this purpose. Further, and most important, any lands owned by the Rural Society or private trusts might have restrictions or conditions for use that the Town might not like, whereas in any lands acquired through the Statutory Commission restrictions and conditions would have to be satisfactory to the Town representatives.
b. No private organization, or Town Conservation Commission can apply for State aid, if that is desired by the Town.
c. No private organization, or Town Conservation Commission as a practical matter, has the money or can spend the time or get the necessary cooperation from the various town authorities to coordinate the many facets of the conservation picture, which is one of the duties of the Statutory Commission.
d. This is not to minimize the importance of such pri- vate societies. It has been found, as in Chatham, that the fact there was both a Conservation Commission and a pri- vate Society was most advantageous as some people feel that a gift has more security through Town action and some that a private society seems more desirable, al- though, as pointed out, such a society has very limited powers. In Duxbury we have a well-equipped private so- ciety which owns over 100 acres of land and it is hard to see how another, operating under the name of a Town Conservation Commission, would help.
-175-
(2) Would a special bill in the Legislature, a so- called permissive act, be helpful? In the first place, al- though we all regard Duxbury as a very special place, the Legislature would in all probability say that what has already been done was sufficient and was satisfactory to over 100 cities and towns. In the second place, such a bill would be exactly as open to amendment as the pres- ent act and from this point of view, the security of the town would be no greater.
IV. Conclusion.
Finally, the Commission, limited as previously stated, has unique powers to receive by gift or to purchase in- terests in lands. This means that any lands to be acquired do not have to be owned outright without conditions or restrictions by the Town, although of course this can be done also. It means, for example, that a marsh owner could, while retaining his rights to keep a duck blind or a camp, agree that no filling would be done and the marsh would be kept as it was forever. The land would still be taxable property, perhaps subject to some dimuni- tion. It means that the Beach Associates, if they were so advised, could deed the beach to the Town in trust to keep substantially the present arrangement or any other ar- rangement that seemed proper at the time of such deed. Complete flexibility in conditions for acquiring lands or any lesser interests in land is allowed by the Statute, and this is, if not unique, at least so uncommon that it will give to the Town, through the Commission, the Selectmen and its own veto over appropriations, the opportunity to acquire without hurting essential private interests, what it deems necessary; and to quote the statute, "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 the Town."
-176-
The Committee has given very careful consideration to all the factors and respectfully urges the Town to accept the Act and establish the Commission.

REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT
December 31, 1962
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 41, Sec- tion 61, I submit herewith the annual statement of all receipts and expenditures of the Town of Duxbury for the financial year ending December 31, 1962. This statement is supplemented by additional reports and schedules de- signed to assist the individual in obtaining a clear picture of the Town's financial status.
As an indication of an increasing degree of mutual respect, it is noted that the Finance Committee trans- ferred $9,754.00 to various departments and that an unused $2,378.38 was refunded to their "Reserve." The most not- able expression of confidence was seen in the transfer of $2,000.00 to the Snow and Ice Department, to meet antici- pated removal costs. As a result of unusually mild weather, no part of this transfer was used. In previous years the Finance Committee has appeared hesitant to make anticipatory transfers lest they result in the pre- mature purchase of desirable but presently unessential items.
-177-
Once the Town Accountant's report is in print it has a strangely simple look and it is difficult to visualize the time and effort which goes into its preparation. Vast sums of money are casually referred to in a few simple words, but at least it is all stated in dollars and cents which we can all understand. I was strangely sympathetic when I read an 1812 financial statement issued by the Plymouth National Bank, and saw that the treasurer and accountant of those days were forced to contend with "Plymouth Old Bills in the drawer," "Plymouth Old Bills in the Closet," and "Five boxes of Pistareens."
Attendance at the 1962 Autumn meeting of the Massa- chusetts Municipal Auditors and Accountants Association was imperative because the advent of a new Director in the Bureau of Accounts promises some new rules and new interpretations of old rules. The unprecedented intensity of the educational program indicated that Mr. Arthur Mackinnon will prove a most worthy successor to Mr. Herman Dine, whose retirement dismayed many Account- ants, for we all relied on his ever-available guidance and friendly counsel.
I was somewhat compensated for my attendance at the extremely formidable lecture sessions by the novelty of sleeping on the fourth floor of a Silo, an eerie perch reached only by an outside fire escape.
1962 has been a quiet but especially pleasant year, and I wish to thank all those who have contributed to the orderly work of this office.
Respectfully submitted,
ISABELLE V. FREEMAN, Town Accountant.
P.S. - Property accountability is still honored in the breach rather than by performance. Greater cooperation in this field would be much appreciated.
