REPORT OF SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT
November 28, 1962
To the Citizens of Braintree:
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project of its activities in the Town for the year ending October 31, 1962.
The Town of Braintree appropriated $5, 600. 00 for mosquito control in 1962. This money was used for mosquito control in the Town by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and Towns of Braintree, Cohasset, Duxbury, Hingham, Hull, Marsh- field, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth. In addition, the project worked under contract for the U. S. Naval Ammunition Depot for a period up to June 30th, ending our final contract before its deactivation.
TYPE OF CONTROL PROGRAM
The basic program of control continued to be based on drainage in the off-season and larvaciding of all areas found to be breeding during the mos - quito season. This program was supplemented by application of D. D. T. dust to selected areas during the period when the swamps were frozen. Fog generators and mist blowers were used to combat flying mosquitoes.
ENCEPHALITIS
As a result of the dry weather and/or other factors not yet recognized Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis did not appear in humans in Massachusetts this past summer. However, since there is always a definite threat present during late summer and early fall, the period when Encephalitis is most likely to appear, the project was in contact with the U. S. Public Health Service, Massachusetts Department of Public Health and other mosquito con- trol agencies in a cooperative effort to recognize the danger signs so that work could be directed against the suspected species of mosquitoes.
AERIAL DUSTING AND/OR SPRAYING
The spring dusting or spraying of all fresh water swamps known to be breeders and too large to be treated by hand was done. D. D. T. was used at the rate of a half to one pound per acre, keeping well within the realm of safety to humans and wildlife. 1600 acres were treated in the Town of Braintree.
GROUND SPRAYING
The ground crews circulated on a schedule throughout their section. They varied from this circuit to treat in the vicinity of complaints or to treat places found to be breeding by the superintendent or foremen's inspec- tion. They then returned to their rounds.
CATCHBASIN SPRAYING
Catchbasin spraying was done with a motorcycle servicar, a compressed air sprayer mounted on the rear. Due to a reduction of summer personnel only one unit was operating this year. A dry summer enabled regular crews to treat basins in their assigned towns, thus enabling us to keep ahead of this type of breeding.
111
DITCHING
Drainage, always considered the keystone of mosquito control, is more than ever important as a result of a growing concern by certain groups over the use and buildup of insecticides and other chemicals in our wildlife areas.
Over the years the ditching done by this project has greatly reduced the areas that need spraying or dusting of insecticides. On fresh water only areas capable of mosquito breeding are drained, shallow stagnant pools. The largest amount of mosquito control can be reached with a good drainage program. With this idea in mind, we have proceeded in all areas possible to ditch. In the Town of Braintree 640 feet of ditches have been cleaned and 1450 feet reclaimed.
FOGGING
This past season the project has had in operation Curtis Dyna Fog In- secticidal Fog Applicator. This machine emits a smoke containing small particles of insecticide. This smoke or fog drifts with air currents over the area, wiping out all mosquitoes and other flying insects present. This machine makes it possible to cover a large area and with insecticide parti- cles being so small there is very little residue to build up in any one area.
PLANS FOR WINTER
Throughout the months between the past and coming mosquito breeding season 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 areas.
In addition, when snow and ice conditions are right prehatch dusting by ground crews, as was done in the past year, will be applied. The success of the past work along these lines makes it feasible to continue the program. All areas that were hand dusted were free of mosquito breeding in most cases until mid-July.
PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR
All phases of the work carried out in the past will continue, placing emphasis on drainage for permanent control and then, in this order: dusting for prehatch control, spraying for larval control, mist blowing and fogging for adult control.
PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED N. A. D.
Since 1957 the project has been under contract to the U. S. Navy to do all phases of mosquito control in their Ammunition Depot, Hingham and Cohasset Annex. In June of this year, the Navy decommissioned this reservation, leaving a large area in the center of the project with no control. At present it is uncertain as to what will be done with this area. If the land involved should revert back to their former towns, Cohasset, Hingham, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth, it will be necessary to up the assessments of these towns for mosquito control as with our present budget we would be unable to handle it.
Need for New Ditching Tractor
The project operates two pieces of tractor equipment on its drainage operation, an OC-6 scavel plow used for cleaning out existing ditches and an OC-4 backhoe trencher for making new drainage work. They have both been in constant use, one since 1955, the other 1957.
112
On ordinary dry trenching operations these machines might last a few more years. However, on mosquito control ditching, the machine is con- stantly in water, mainly salt water, year round. Consequently, rust cor- rosion, along with wear, they have reached a point where they must be replaced in order to maintain what has been accomplished and to continue the phase of machine ditching.
It would not be necessary to replace both tractors as one tractor so constructed could receive and operate both a scavel and backhoe trencher. This would necessitate the need for just one tractor as both of these are usually being used on the same job.

REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
Honorable Board of Selectmen Braintree, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I respectfully submit the following report as Tree Warden for the year ending December 31, 1962.
All work approved in the 1962 budget for General Care and Tree Re- moval has been completed. 362 new trees were planted throughout the town.
The Tree Bank provided 125 trees this year for Street Planting. 180 young trees were transplanted in the Tree Bank to assure a continuous supply of new Trees for future planting.
I hope to continue and expand the Tree planting program, as there is still a great need for Trees in the Old and New developments throughout the Town.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN F. LEETCH Tree Warden

HARBORMASTER'S REPORT FOR 1962
January 7, 1963
The Office of Selectmen
Town Hall
South Braintree, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
There were eighty-two (82) boats of various sizes moored in Braintree during the 1962 Boating Season, not including those on floats in the Metro- politan Yacht Club area.
There were various incidents of breaking and entering of boats moored at the lower end of Watson Park where it was possible for swimmers to go out to boats to use them to dive from.
The area in the channel between the Gas Company and Rhines Lumber Yard is no longer passable from one hour before low tide to one hour after low tide.
The swimming from the Quincy Avenue Bridge at high tide is present- ing a safety problem to both the yachtsmen going up and down the Monatiquot River and the swimmers alike as they dive from the bridge in front of boats and along side.

REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD FOR 1962
Joseph M. Magaldi, Chairman
Edward J. Rose Mitchell W. Gawlowicz, Clerk Frederick J. Klay
William F. Baker Harold Pearl, Town Engineer - Ex-Officio
During 1962, once again residential expansion was at a normal pace. Six public hearings on subdivisions were held in addition to the public hear- ing on zoning articles in the 1962 annual town meeting warrant. We are of the opinion that this building slowdown is due to the present zoning laws and regulations which this Board has either recommended or adopted. Only 81 new home permits were issued in 1962 indicating good controls and reason- able growth.
Our Town has constantly grown and the activities of our Board have in- creased tremendously. In addition to a regular monthly meeting all during the year, we have held at least one special meeting or inter-department conference every week. We have also made it possible to give daily atten- tion to routine and administrative matters.
As mentioned in our report last year, tremendous interest existed then and continues to grow in the demand for multiple dwellings. Last March the Town adopted a new code regulating apartment construction. These new regulations will tend to eliminate many of the existing faults. No construc- tion on apartment permits has been started under the new regulations as of December 31st with one exception. All units now under construction are covered by permits issued prior to the adoption of the new code.
We have before us for consideration a possible multi million dollar luxury high rise apartment development. The decision in this matter should be made by the Townspeople. The Board of Selectmen and the Planning Board, jointly, will submit the question as soon as all details are worked out.
Last year the Town enjoyed a substantial reduction in the tax rate. Fixing the tax rate is the job of the Assessors. We would like to point out that all the new business and industrial development has taken place on land which the Town rezoned on the recommendation of this Board.
Our Master Plan Study is progressing satisfactorily. To date we have received written preliminary reports on Existing Land Use, Population, Economic Base, Storm Drainage and Flood Protection, Community Facili- ties, Schools, Recreation and Transportation including Traffic Circulation. Meetings have been held with all Town Departments and Mr. Charles E. Downe and staff, who are our planning consultants for the Master Plan. Phase two of the study is now underway. When the studies are all com- pleted firm recommendations will be made to the Town in order of their importance. We do have interim recommendations to guide us now and copies have been made to the departments concerned, the Finance Com - mittee, the Board of Selectmen and the Town Clerk. When the studies are complete we will arrange to hold sectional meetings prior to the final draft.
Regarding Transportation, the question has not been resolved. The Board has kept in touch with Dr. Maloney, Chairman of the Mass Transpor- tation Commission. We have attended many meetings on the subject includ- ing one recently held on "Monorail". In view of the fact that the matter is being acted on by the legislature it is important that all of us know what we would like and how we can go about attaining our goal. This Monorail subject is interesting and a bill is in the legislature now asking for $40, 000
115
which will be matched equally by the proponents so that these funds can be used for a study to determine if such a system is feasible for the South Shore. Should the results indicate feasibility then private capital stands ready to con- struct and operate such a transportation system at no cost to any of the com- munities to be served. We will remain alert to the problem and do what we can to meet the wishes of the people.
In concluding the Board wishes to express its appreciation to all who have cooperated with us in carrying on our work for Braintree to the best of our ability.
