Report of the Park Commission
REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSION
To the Citizens of the Town:
The plots, in the various sections of the Town, under our supervision, have been given good attention; in some cases it was found necessary to grade and resod them, grass is now in good shape and all are now in good condition.
The money appropriated for the partial renovation of the dwelling attached to the old Lighthouse at Cedar Point has been judiciously expended, but a further appropriation is necessary for the interior of the dwelling, also for repairs to the approach to the Lighthouse.
The Common upon which stand our monuments of the Civil War veterans and veterans of the World War, is now a very attractive spot but on account of its size and area must needs have special attention, therefore a special appropriation will be needed.
The plot along Glades Road, North Scituate has been completed but on account of bare spots some loam will have to be placed on it, and cared for during the season.

Report of Tree Warden
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
January 20, 1923 To the Citizens of Scituate:
In pursuance of the regular custom I am herewith presenting my report as Tree Warden. One hundred and twenty-seven trees have been planted in different parts of the town. Many trees had to be replaced where automobiles had run over and broken them. The storm last summer did considerable damage to our shade trees making considerable more work. Many of the large elms were split and had to be chained and bolted. I have gone over all our town roads and removed any limbs that bung over the highway.
The Tree Warden has no authority to cut trees or bushes along the State road, and any complaints regarding the condition of the same should be made to the Massa- chusetts Highway Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM F. FORD
143
Report of Board of Health
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the citizens of Scituate we present our report for 1922.
The following cases of diseases were reported:
Measles 45, diphtheria 5, scarlet fever 7, tuberculosis 8, whooping cough 3.
We have attended to all complaints as usual, and have inspected all dairies and cow barns in town, and those in other towns from which milk is brought into this town.
Your Board thinks it very essential that the Town should vote to have public dumping grounds, one at Scituate and one at North Scituate.
Nearly all of the residents of North Scituate Beach have put in cess pools, conforming to the notice sent out in 1921.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM P. GROVESTEIN, GEORGE T. OTIS, JOHN W. BURKE, Secretary.

Report of Inspector of Plumbing

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF PLUMBING
Scituate, Mass., January 1, 1923.
Board of Health, Scituate, Mass.
Chairman:
The past year has seen a large increase in building operations and therefore more homes are enjoying well selected bathrooms, also hot and cold water, which are essential to comfort and health. With the increased number of plumbing installations it is important that the system installed be the best and the disposal of sewerage be properly taken care of. Our plumbing laws are such that give our citizens proper protection, also all plumbing contractors are working in harmony for the best standard of public health.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR R. MERRITT, Inspector of Plumbing.

Report of Inspector of Milk
REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK

Most of the dairies show an improvement over last year.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE T. OTIS, Inspector of Milk.

Scituate Public Health Nursing Service
SCITUATE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING SERVICE
The work of the Scituate Public Health Nursing Serv- ice has been carried on very successfully the past year, and we believe is meeting a long-felt want for the people of Scituate. Our popular and efficient Public Health Nurse, Miss Alice M. Gaffney, is still the mainstay of the service, and we cannot speak too highly of her work among us. As a mark of appreciation she has been granted an increase in salary.
Our funds for carrying on the year's work have been adequate. To the generous Town appropriation of $1,500 was added the proceeds of a Flower Day on July 1 ($430), as well as generous contributions from the following: Post 31, G. A. R., Steadfast Lodge of Odd Ladies, Unitarian Alliance, Woman's Relief Corps, Carpenters' Union, Con- gregational Sewing Circle, Scituate Woman's Club, American Legion, Ladies' Aid of Methodist Episcopal Church, Mr. W. B. James, Rev. P. J. Buckley, Mrs. George F. Welch.
Among the activities of the year the Nursing Service was instrumental in establishing hot lunches in the schools, making a cash contribution of $72.70 to the School Committee for this purpose. We also had charge of a first-aid station at the July 4 Field Day.
The Nursing Service is a member of the Massachusetts Association of Directors of Public Health Nursing and the Massachusetts Tuberculosis League, and has made a con- tribution to the work of the Instructive District Nursing Association.
When it is remembered that, in the membership drive of last winter, approximately one-quarter of the town's
148
Scituate Public Health Nursing Service
population showed their interest in the work by joining, it is safe to say that the Service shares the confidence of the townspeople. We bespeak their support for another year.

Report of the Fire Department
REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
Scituate, December 31, 1922.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
The engineers appointed by your honorable Board met at the Town Hall May 8 and elected the following officers for the year ending April 30, 1923:
Chief, E. R. Seaverns; First Assistant Chief, Maurice O'Hern; Second Assistant Chief, Louis Cole; Clerk, A. F. Turner; District Engineer, C. M. Litchfield.
Five new hydrants have been installed during the year, making a total of one hundred and fifty-four.
Four buildings were totally destroyed by fire with an insurance value of eighty-one hundred dollars.
We feel that there should be some improvement along the lines recommended by the engineer of the New England Insurance Exchange, which would give us better fire pro- tection, and give the town a C rating instead of D which means a cheaper rate of insurance, an item for us all to consider.
This engineer, making his report, wrote as follows: "After careful consideration, we feel that in order to change the classification of the Town fiom D to C, it will be neces- sary to provide five hundred-gallon combined pump, chemical and hose wagon, as well as making a start on the installation of a fire alarm system. The latter recommenda- tion can at the start consist of only headquarters equipment and a few boxes, but should be installed in such a manner that it can be added to from time to time."
Below are the records of the flow tests taken at that time, the standpipe being three-fourths full.

Some fear has been expressed in regard to the danger of fire at the High School. The building is of slow-burning construction and by the installation of a sprinkler system, all fear would be eliminated. We feel that if a fire should occur in either of the schools at the two ends of the town, where smaller children are assembled, it would be far more serious than to children at the age attending the High School.
For lack of funds it has been impossible to make im- provements that we feel are imperative, and because of which this board has spent only eleven hundred dollars since it organized in May.

Forest Fires
FOREST FIRES
Scituate, December 31, 1922.
To the Citizens of Scituate:
In submitting my report for this department I wish to call your attention to the fact that the greater part of the loss due to forest fires is the result of carelessness, and could be eliminated if care were taken not to let too much rubbish accumulate before burning, or wait to burn until it is too dry, and above all means never to start fires in the "open" on windy days. Persons should comply with the law and secure a permit before burning in the "closed season."
The magnitude of the forest fire loss and the necessity of taking every reasonable measure to reduce it is shown by the following facts. In Massachusetts this year, 66,096 acres were burned with a resultant damage of $321,447. Ninety-one buildings were destroyed and five lives lost, while the attendant cost of extinguishing amounted to $75,157. In Scituate the expense incurred in 1922 in the suppression of fires of this nature added twenty-three cents per thousand on our tax rate.
The appropriation made in March had been exceeded by some fourteen hundred dollars, due largely to the West End fire, when I assumed charge in May.
My recommendation for the coming year for fighting forest fires is $650.
Respectfully submitted,
ERNEST R. SEAVERNS, Forest Fire Warden.

Report of the Clean-Up Committee
REPORT OF THE CLEAN-UP COMMITTEE
Scituate, Mass., January 23, 1923.
To the Citizens of Scituate:
The Clean-Up Committee had its first meeting in May and the various methods of removing rubbish and general "clean-up" work discussed - namely, the work of the Boy Scouts in collecting rubbish from barrels; that of appointing men to remove rubbish, ashes, etc., during “Clean-Up Week," and of taking care of the advertising, announcing the particular week decided upon. This last was done through the Scituate paper, by announcements in the various churches, and on the moving-picture screen.
The appropriation was the same as the year before and the work was done at a specified price so that we might keep within our appropriation.
Following is the report of the Treasurer:
Received from Town Treasurer $200 00
Paid Mitchell Bros. for collecting rubbish
during "Clean-Up Week" $48 90
Paid D. W. O'Hern for collecting rubbish during "Clean-Up Week" 78 60

Report of the Scituate Historical Society
REPORT OF SCITUATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Scituate:
The trustees of the Historical Society beg to report an eventful period during the sixth year of its corporate existence.
The Cudworth House is in an excellent state of repair, kept so through the labors of and at the expense of the Society, and it continues to be the destination of many visitors who come not only to view its ancient interesting furnishings, but also to avail themselves of the fund of local historical information which it is constantly gathering and preserving.
During the year William H. Clapp, Esq., generously made a deed of the old Stockbridge mill at Greenbush to the Society and it immediately raised from among its members and an appreciative public, a sum sufficient to adequately and entirely restore it. The Water Company, in like gracious spirit, made conveyance to the Society of the perpetual right to use the waters of the Old Oaken Bucket Pond during periods in the summer, for the purpose of operating the mill and in the years to come it is the inten- tion of the trustees of the Society to grind grists as of yore.
The Society sustained severe losses last fall in the deaths of Miss Mary A. Ford, a trustee since its incorporation and of Silas Peirce, Esq., its first President. Their decease left vacancies that it will be difficult to fill. Mrs. Ford was a signally faithful, earnest and capable officer, and member. Strong in her affections, deep in her regard of the town of her birth and purposeful and resourceful in her work for the restoration and care of its early traditions, the Society provided her a welcome opportunity for constant service. As a teacher in the schools of Scituate and Boston she was
157
Report of the Scituate Historical Society
a pronounced success. To few is given the opportunity for such large service as she performed, and few indeed are those who so enthusiastically embrace and so successfully improve such opportunity when it comes to them. She was a delight- ful neighbor, a friend to everybody and a patriotic citizen.
To Silas Peirce is to be assigned the highest awards for lovable and charming traits of character which won for him the affection of those who had the happiness to know him most intimately. He possessed in felicitous union, a sound, fine moral sense, generous sentiments, kindness of heart and all those qualities which give to friendship and social intercourse their enjoyment and charm. His aid and counsel were sought in a diversity of social, charitable, religious and business organizations which speak eloquently for his breadth of vision and business acumen. The Society was fortunate in securing him as its first President. In that office he displayed an interest, generosity and zeal that at once emphasized the usefulness of the Society and pushed it forward to a permanent and secure place among organiza- tions of a similar character.
Both Mr. Peirce and Miss Ford were always resourceful and energetic in the interests of this Society and their loss will be continually felt and lamented.

HARVEY H. PRATT, President.

Report of Committee on Street Nomenclature
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON STREET NOMENCLATURE
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Scituate:
The Committee on Street Nomenclature presents this its annual report with an apology for the delay which has been occasioned in the erection of the guideboards con- tracted for under the appropriation made at the annual meeting in March, 1922, and it takes to its own shoulders the burden of that delay.
Last January the chairman of this Committee was instrumental in causing an act to be passed by the Massa- chusetts Legislature providing for an adequate number of signboards to adequately and completely mark the ancient highways between the two colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay. The contract for these signs was given to Mr. Jesse P. Litchfield who is building the town guide- boards and as a consequence the town work has been delayed. These latter are now in various stages of comple- tion and will be completed and in place, all of them, by the first day of June. It is recommended that the same appro- priation as was made in 1922, be again determined for the current year. Nothing so adequately returns benefit to the Town for a small amount expended as these attractive guideboards taking the place of worn out, unreadable signs placed upon decrepit posts and accompanied by individual advertising. The street signs and guideboards are property of the Town designed for a single useful purpose. They should not be encumbered with advertising of mercantile and other character.
Respectfully submitted,
HARVEY H. PRATT, For the Committee.
