Conservation Commission
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
Town of Duxbury
Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
During 1964 your Conservation Commission has con- tinued the same general program established during its first year. The practice of monthly meetings has been followed; liaisons with the Selectmen, Planning Board, Community Garden Club and Rural Society have been increased.
The program of acquiring negative easements has been carried forward with regard to salt marsh meadow land. The acreage of marsh covered by the program has been more than doubled, and several sizeable tracts are being negotiated.
One parcel of land in North West Duxbury has been purchased at a tax sale as a part of our program to acquire land for future open areas.
Much study has been given to the "Wright's Dike" area South of the Elementary School with a view to establishing a conservation area for nature study and wildlife preservation. The area has been developed for this purpose by the Duxbury Community Garden Club, and it is felt by that organization and your Commission that the land should be formally dedicated to conserva- tion and placed under the control of the Commission. An article to this end has been inserted in the 1965 Warrant.
The Commission is again asking for an appropriation to add to the land acquisition fund. It should be noted that this fund is carried forward from year to year so that monies will be available to the Commissioners and the
-90-
Selectmen as land becomes available for conservation purposes.
A map has been prepared for display at Town Meet- ing, showing present town land, and the results of your Commission's efforts. It is hoped that this will be of interest to the Town, and you are urged to study it during the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANCIS C. ROGERSON, JR., Chairman Duxbury Conservation Commission

Under Article 2, it was voted that the reports of the various Town Officers and Committees be accepted as printed in the Town Report, with the addition of the Report of the South Shore Mosquito Control. This report was read by Dr. Shirley, Chairman of the Board of Health, and reads as follows:
Report of the SOUTH SHORE MOSQUITO CONTROL PROJECT 1120 Hancock Street, Quincy, Massachusetts
November 25, 1963
To the Citizens of the Town of Duxbury:
Submitted herewith is the report of the South Shore Mosquito Control Project's activities in the Town of Dux- bury for the year ending October 31, 1963.
The Town of Duxbury appropriated $5,300 for mos- quito control in 1963. Along with this $2,250 was appro- priated for salt marsh maintenance. This money was used for mosquito control in the Town of Duxbury by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project, a cooperative effort embracing the City of Quincy and the Towns of Duxbury, Braintree, Cohasset, Hingham, Hull, Marsh-
-93-
field, Norwell, Scituate and Weymouth. The project is a year-round operation based on a three-phase plan for the reduction of mosquitoes.
Permanent Control
A method whereby, with the use of trenching equip- ment and hand labor, many shallow stagnant water areas are removed. This reduces the number of sites capable of breeding mosquitoes. Most of this drainage is done on salt marsh, however, where possible, work is done in fresh water brooks and streams.
Preventive Control
The preventing of the mosquito reaching its flying stage, by the use of small amounts of insecticide applied to the mosquito breeding sites (shallow stagnant water) enabling us to prevent many mosquito larva and pupa from emerging to the adult biting insect. By larvaciding we can concentrate the attack on mosquitoes in their most vulnerable stage of life.
Adult Control
In spite of other control methods, there are some species of mosquitoes that are usually controlled by adult spraying - the culex (or house mosquito) that may breed in almost any container that will hold water over a few day period, making control over breeding sites impos- sible. By using mist sprayers and thermal foggers we are able to reduce the droplet size so small amounts of insec- ticide can be applied over a large area, enough to get a mosquito kill and yet keep the insecticide residue to a minimum.
With this basic plan, the following was done in the Town of Duxbury last year: 31,675 feet of ditch were re- claimed, 3,800 feet of existing drainage were cleared of their blockages, all to reduce mosquito breeding sites.
-94-
In addition, 1,000 feet of brushing was done to enable us to do this ditching work.
100 gallons of insecticide was applied by aircraft to treat 100 acres and 3,350 pounds of insecticidal dust was applied to 1,675 acres for the Spring brood of aedes mos- quitoes that appear in early Summer. 1,150 pounds of in- secticidal dust was applied to 575 acres by ground equip- ment to smaller wet areas. 513 gallons of insecticide were applied to 513 acres for larval and pupal control. 448 gallons of insecticide was applied by mist blower to 448 acres for adult as well as larval control. 430 acres were fogged. 200 catchbasins found to be breeding mosquitoes were sprayed.
The insecticides used by the South Shore Mosquito Control Project are:
D.D.T., both dust and liquid
Dieldrin, both liquid and granules (dump areas)
Malathion (fog and spray)
DiBrom No. 14 (fog)
Baytex 29496 (catchbasins)
All applications are made not exceding dosage rec- ommended on registered labels for the control of mos- quitoes.
The Project wishes to acknowledge the help received from officials and departments of the Town and sincerely hopes that the benefits derived by these departments as a result of this cooperation are as great as those derived by the Project.
At this time, Mr. Charles H. Fargo, Chaiman of the Finance Committee, presented the supplementary report of his committee:
-95-
SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Preparing for Town Meeting has taken many hours of work on the part of many people. It is their desire to present to the voters a Warrant in which, to the best of their ability, the actual requirements of the Town are set forth. The Selectmen, Department Heads, Employees and Committees have all met on various occasions as a group and also with subcommittees of the Finance Committee. The end result is set forth in the Warrant for this meet- ing. There are a few honest differences of opinion which will be presented to the voters for their ultimate decision. I would like to thank the Selectmen, Department Heads, Employees and Committees for their sincere efforts in helping the Finance Committee make its recommenda- tions. I would also like to thank each and every member of the Finance Committee for his assistance, wisdom and counsel during the past year.
We have recommended to the Town the expenditure of monies for many items as well as increases in many of the budgets. The Town continues to grow and the de- mands for services and salaries grow faster than the as- sessed valuation. This year it is obviously reflected in our estimated tax rate. The Assessors will ultimately deter- mine the tax rate based on the action of the voters today, but with the figures presently available, we feel that if our recommendations are followed, we can anticipate a tax rate of $37.50, which in the terms of prior years would be $75.00, or an increase of $6.00 over last year's rate.
We trust you will be prudent in your decisions and 1rotes as each $30,000,000 of appropriation will add $1.00 to the tax rate under the new valuation basis.
Thank you.
Under Article 3, it was voted to fix the compensa-
