Report of Selectmen
REPORT OF SELECTMEN
The business of the Town for the past year has been of the usual nature but of constantly increasing amount.
Our roads compare favorably with those of neighboring towns.
Our sidewalks should be improved and in many cases the abutters would be willing to bear a share of the expense.
The street lighting system has been extended as the need has appeared and should be continued, as a well-lighted street is one of the best investments a town can make, not only as regards the comfort and safety of the citizens, but as a deterrent of crime.
At present our lights are on all night and all year round.
More lights should be installed where necessary to aid the travelling public, at curves, railroad crossing, near hy- drants and they should be distributed in an equitable manner.
A reasonable number of traffic control signals are an added protection to persons and property.
With reference to the needs of the Town for proper facilities and room for Town Officials and for the protection of Town records, this matter should be attended to at once, and we are in favor of having a committee appointed to study the two propositions, viz. either to remodel the present Town Hall or to build an entirely new building, and report at the next Annual Town Meeting.
It seems urgent to push the matter of a new State Road, which should run at a reasonable distance westerly of the present Country Way in the form of a wide, straight thor- oughfare from the Cohasset line to Greenbush connecting with the present road to Little's Bridge.
There will be many requests for appropriations at this coming meeting and all have more or less merit. They should be judged carefully from the standpoint of value to the Town

as a whole and there should be extensive publicity given all of them, in order that voters may act intelligently.
Realizing that the authority and duties of this Board are more particularly of an executive nature, we have care- fully avoided undue interference with other departments and in all incumbent, discretionary situations as they developed during the past year, we have endeavored to solve the many problems from the viewpoint of public welfare in preference to political expediency, and have sedulously avoided any abuse of discretionary authority.
In conclusion, we wish to express our appreciation of the cooperation of the different departments during the past year as the business of the Town can be much more effect- ively transacted if free from friction.

Board of Public Welfare
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
Our work for the past year has been as usual, a few per- sons being wholly supported and others partially.
Assistance has been rendered to families where there are small children and where the scarcity of work compelled the parents to apply for aid.
Every application for assistance has been carefully in- vestigated and aid given in all worthy cases.
We wish to thank all those who have so kindly helped us in this work of relief.

Report of Planning Board
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Planning Board submits the following report. The board was organized March 22, Mr. John F. McJennett be- ing elected chairman. During this month the board was con- sulted with respect to dredging operations about to take place in the harbor. Members of the board went over the alterna- tive plans with the harbor master and the State Engineer, and the board approved the plan later carried out.
Following the instructions under which it was created, the board has sought to acquaint itself with the experience of town planning in other towns and adapt that experience to conditions in Scituate. Four measures - three of them necessary to the establishment and development of a town plan, and one affecting the immediate convenience of the citizens - compelled attention: zoning; town possession of the open area adjacent to the meeting point of First Parish Road, Front Street, Kent Street and Edward Foster Road; relief of Front Street traffic congestion by the completion of the Town Way already authorized; and the protection, if possible, of Front Street from any further loss of its border- ing trees.
Each of these is an all-Scituate measure. Zoning is necessary not to change Scituate, but to keep the distinctive character of the Town as it is. The relationship of Front Street to the rest of the Town makes the attractiveness and convenience of this section and its most generally used ap- proach a matter of concern to all residents. It has been the good fortune of the Town to possess at the meeting point of the four ways, and from whatever direction it is approached, a pictorial and landscape beauty that would be destroyed by building, but will not be injured by desirable street widening. So far the possession of this area, which has become an ad-
16
Report of Planning Board
mired and distinguishing feature of the Town, has been com- munity luck; but it can only be continued by community foresight. Better facility for the use of the parking space behind Front Street offers the most immediate relief of traffic congestion on Front Street. What has already hap- pened to trees bordering that thoroughfare tells the desir- ability of some assurance that it will not happen to the trees that are left.
In May the board, by invitation of the Selectmen, ex- amined with the Town Engineer the desirability of accepting certain proposed new streets: Wampatuck Avenue, Foam, Bay Ridge, Damon, Wellesley and Brookline Roads. None of these streets, it appeared to the board, justified acceptance and construction wholly at the cost of the Town. As this opinion took issue with the manner in which new streets had usually been accepted and built, the Planning Board con- sulted with the Advisory Board. It was the opinion of both boards that a standard rule should be adopted under which the cost of construction of new streets should be in part borne by the abutters. The Planning Board then advised the acceptance of Wampatuck Avenue, Wellesley Road and Brookline Road, with such betterment charges as should assess the abutters a reasonable share of the cost.
During April, May and June the board was in frequent consultation with the High School Building Committee, by invitation of that committee, studying the plans and loca- tion of the new building as part of the civic centre, and in relation to such other buildings as might later be placed there. A new building, for example, is needed for carrying on the town business and housing the town records. The board made certain suggestions which were favorably acted upon by the Building Committee, and endorsed the high school plan as presented at the Town Meeting of June 28. At this meeting the board sponsored an article in the warrant to see if the Town would appoint a committee to consider the ques- tion of a new executive building.
July 11 the board appeared in opposition at the public hearing of the petition of the South Oil Company for a filling station permit at the corner of First Parish Road and Front
17
Report of Planning Board
Street. As this petition threatened the area which the board considers essential to the best future development of Scitu- ate, and suggested plainly that such development might at any time be there frustrated by business or residential pro- jects over which the Town would have no control, the board suggested, immediately after this hearing, that whatever procedure was necessary to secure town possession of this area be at once undertaken. July 19 the board met infor- mally with the Selectmen to discuss the advisability of such action; July 25, in furtherance of the decision and intent of that meeting, the board formally presented to the Selectmen its suggestion that a special Town Meeting be called during the summer to bring the question before the electorate. The suggestion was taken under advisement. It then came to the knowledge of the board that a petition to the Selectmen, with this object and including also the question of zoning, was in active preparation. Under the circumstances, and in order that the questions at issue should come most fairly and im- partially before the voters, it seemed better that any petition for such a meeting should emanate from the Planning Board itself. It therefore conferred with these petitioners and took upon itself all responsibility for public action concerned with these measures. August 8, the matter being still under ad- visement, the board presented a petition asking for the spe- cial meeting.
During the autumn it came to the attention of the board that restrictions forbidding building on certain lots on the water side of Jericho Road would expire early in 1930. Building at this point would invite a type of structure detri- mental to existing residences, and would also prevent the Town from continuing Front Street along the waterfront to Hatherly Road, thus doing away with the now necessary use of the dangerous corner at Jericho Road and Willow Street. Had the Town last spring been in possession of this part of its waterfront, material dredged from the harbor could have been there deposited by pumping, reducing the cost of the dredging and at the same time contributing to the new road. This will be the case when dredging is again done. The board therefore advises a taking of Jericho Beach, and has prepared
18
Report of Planning Board
an article for the warrant enabling the Town, if it so wishes, to act on this advice.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN F. McJENNETT, Chairman. GEORGE S. BAILEY, FOYE M. MURPHY, CHESTER E. STONE, RALPH W. BERGENGREN,

Report of Governor's Committee
REPORT OF GOVERNOR'S COMMITTEE ON STREET AND HIGHWAY SAFETY
The Governor's Committee on Street and Highway Safety was organized by Gov. Frank G. Allen, early in 1929, to combat the rising tide of injury and death on our highways.
Instead of an elaborate organization of paid inspectors and officials, the plan of action adopted called upon the citizens to aid themselves by considering their own local conditions and adopting accepted traffic signs and ordi- nances, under the guidance and advice of technical experts with headquarters and a permanent secretary at the State House in Boston.
To centralize interest each town and city was asked to appoint a local committee. On November 1 our Selectmen appointed the following: Mr. H. C. Wingate, Superintendent of Schools; Mr. Archie L. Mitchell, Superintendent of Highways; Mr. Charles M. Litchfield, Chief of Police; Mr. Archie W. Torrey, Chief of the Fire Department; Mrs. W. F. Mitchell, Miss Katherine Ellis, Mr. Jerome F. Crowley, Mr. H. W. Donald, Chairman.
This Committee has met monthly since appointment and has discussed all dangerous conditions known to them. They have reviewed the records of accidents received by the police department and have referred needed changes to the Selectmen.
The Selectmen have encouraged the continuation of the present plan of operation by hearty cooperation but join with the committee in urging their townsmen to cooperate in their turn by bringing ideas and suggestions from their various localities to the attention of the committee who will promptly investigate and obtain needed changes.
Considering that we have over one hundred miles of
20
Report of Governor's Committee
roadway, Scituate's record stands well among the other towns of Plymouth County, yet there have occurred the following personal injuries and accidents as recorded by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles in years past:

As usual, human negligence has always entered largely as the cause of these accidents; but wherever known condi- tions exist, which would in any way contribute to accidents, they should be remedied.
The safety of children is one of the first items of impor- tance and the report of the School Committee in this volume covers this fully. The Committee has also considered coast- ing and sidewalks.
With the large influx of visitors in summer, it is partic- ularly important that Standard Traffic Control Signals shall be adopted. Those already in use have been accepted by the Highway Commission; others may be needed. Railway crossings' warnings should be improved and better lighting is under discussion at these points.
A radio safety broadcast has been carried on by the Governor's Committee since January 25, on Saturday nights at 6.45 p.m.
The Committee urges care by the townspeople in driving and by pedestrians in walking, particularly after dark and where sidewalks are not available.
It is urged that every one should walk on the left-hand side of the road so that they can see and avoid approaching traffic, and that where possible they carry lights or white objects which will reflect the light.
The Country Way with its through traffic and limited width presents a serious safety problem, and especial care
21
Report of Governor's Committee
should be taken when entering or using it. The need of the new road in the western part of the town is clearly shown in order to safeguard townspeople who are obliged to use this thoroughfare.
H. W. DONALD, Chairman for the Committee.
