Total 3,904


The attention of interested parties is called to Chapter 51, Section 2 of the General Laws, viz: If the name of a female who is duly registered as a voter is changed by marriage or by decree of court, her right to vote in her former name shall continue until January first next following. Adherence to this law requires every female now on the voting list whose name is changed by marriage or by decree of court to appear before the Town Clerk or at an advertised meeting of the Board of Registrars and re-register as a voter if desirous of continuing to vote in Scituate, as her previous name will automatically be stricken from the list.

PARK COMMISSIONERS REPORT


REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS


January 8, 1951


To the Citizens of Scituate:


We submit a report, in brief, of the past year's accom- plishments.


Generally speaking, the work requirements of this department are a matter of yearly routine. In addition, we resurfaced and seeded three plots; painted the Peggotty Beach comfort station, also the Old Lighthouse; and shingled the West End Community House.


We completed some work of improvement to the Old Ceme- tery on Meeting House Lane. This property was acquired by the Town last year and there still remains much to be done there.


The work of reconditioning the water front at Minot was futile, since this has once again been washed away.


We gratefully acknowledge the cooperation and support of Town Officials and citizens.


Respectfully,


F. EUGENIA BROWN.

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT


REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


I submit, for your approval, the annual report of the Fire Department for the year 1950.


During the year, the department was called to a total of 476 emergencies; an increase of twenty-five percent over the previous year. The first aid emergency calls totaled 208 as compared to 102 calls in the previous year.


The Humarock station has been remodeled in anticipation of the delivery of the new pumping engine which is now under con- struction. Delivery of this unit is expected early in this year.


The four stations are currently in very good repair and will require only painting and minor repairs during the year.


The apparatus, with the exception of two units, one of which will be replaced shortly, is in first class condition.


The cordial co-operation given by your Board, the various other departments and the citizens of the town is deeply appre- ciated.


Respectfully submitted,


BARTHOLOMEW A. CURRAN,


Chief.

FOREST FIRE WARDEN'S REPORT


REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE WARDEN


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


The report of the Forest Fire Department for the year 1950 follows.


The department was extremely fortunate in the past year in that the forest and grass fires occurring were fewer than usual and of little moment. In most cases, these fires were extinguished by the men on duty without sounding the alarm for additional manpower.


The burning over of grass lands which are considered to be fire hazards was continued and we intend to carry out this pro- gram in the current year. It is our opinion that this work con- tributes invaluably to the prevention of fires of dangerous pro- portions.


The new forest fire truck was delivered in July and has performed very satisfactorily.


The continued co-operation of the citizens of the town in the matter of obtaining permits for all open air fires is a great factor in fire prevention and is deeply appreciated.


We extend our thanks to your Board, the several other depart- ments and our fellow townsmen for their continued support and co-operation.


Respectfully submitted,


BARTHOLOMEW A. CURRAN, Forest Warden.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT


REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT


To the Citizens of Scituate:


Again it gives me pleasure to report the activities of your Highway Department for the year 1950.


This past year was very uncertain. Due to the increase in the cost of materials and the demand for higher wages and salaries, it was practically impossible to figure on a specified job from day to day. However, we believe we have made many improvements in the roads and sidewalks.


One of the greatest problems has been drainage. Due to the fact that our appropriation was cut $13,000 under 1949 it was impossible for us to take care of some of the problems with which . we were faced. Due to the increase in the number of people who have chosen Seituate as their home, many new problems arose. If these problems could have been taken up in 1950 they could have been solved at much less cost than at present.


ROADS


As a whole, the roads are in as good a condition today as I have seen them for many years. Dangerous- corners have been eliminated on Lawson Road, Kent Street, Tilden Road and Mount Hope Street. On Grove Street, 2500 feet, 20 feet wide has been resurfaced by the most modern method, Motor Paver. It was open to traffic 21/2 days after it was started.


Twenty-seven miles of highway were surface treated.


SIDEWALKS


3750 lincar feet of sidewalks, 4 feet wide with eurb were constructed on the following streets: Jericho Road 900 feet, Ed- ward Foster Road 900 feet, Hatherly Road 1500 feet and on Gannett Road 450 feet were resurfaced. It is my hope that in 1951, the sidewalks on Jericho Road and Edward Foster Road will be com- pleted with a bituminous surface.


GUARD RAIL


During the open winter of 1950, 3345 feet of new guard rail was built to replace the old, which in many places was 35 years old. Also, we built a new garage at the Highway Department Plant to house equipment which has been exposed to the elements. The building is 36 by 24 feet and was built by regular employees of the Department.


72


HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT


DRAINAGE


In 1950, 1910 feet of drainage was installed in sections where it was absolutely necessary and 25 catch basins were built. All old systems were cleaned and repaired.


PATCHING


2901/2 tons of patching material were purchased and 216 tons were mixed at our Highway Plant.


TRAFFIC REGULATIONS


In co-operation with the Police Department, 250 gallons of traffic paint were applied to our Streets. This work was done by experts with the most modern equipment at much less expense to the town than in years past.


CHAPTER 90


First Parish Road was completed from the Electric Light Station on First Parish Road to Cudworth Road with a Type I top. The remainder of the $18,000 appropriation was spent on the new layout on Gannett Road. We have already been notified by the Department of Public Works that $10,000 has been allotted for the completion of Gannett Road. After this project is com- pleted, our plan is to improve First Parish Road from Cudworth Road to the Railroad, with drainage and a sidewalk for the chil- dren who must walk to the Schools from this section.


STREET CLEANING


As usual, the streets have been cleaned four days a week and on Sunday mornings at the Harbor, and one day a week at North Scituate Village. Other sections have been cleaned when condi- tions required it. It is my belief that it is of great value to our Town to keep the streets in a neat orderly condition.


SIGNS


In the Spring, all signs were placed in first class condition. However, during the Summer months, much damage was done by souvenir hunters, etc. Every street in Humarock was marked with a new Street sign.


BRIDGES


The retaining wall on the Edward Foster Road Bridge was repaired. However, it seems impossible to keep this bridge well lighted due to vandalism.


It is doubtful whether Humarock Bridge can be kept open during the Summer of 1951. This bridge was condemned in 1944 by the Department of Public Works for motor traffic.


73


HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT


PARKING SPACES


The Minot Beach Parking Space was brought to the proper grade and treated with a bituminous material, and guard rail built where necessary, making facilities for about 100 cars.


The Parking Space at the Harbor needs to be enlarged, due to the tremendous number of cars, especially during the Summer, which use it.


SNOW REMOVAL


The Winter of 1949-1950 was a comparatively easy one as far as snow was concerned, although we had plenty of ice which re- quired sanding. At the present time, we are equipped with 16 blade plows. Each operator is responsible for his specified route. In case of a very severe storm, we have the new grader purchased a few years ago, which is equipped with a V type plow which gives us the assurance that our roads will never be impassable. We also have 10 sanding machines and 6 hours from the time we are notified of a slippery condition, every road can be sanded. We are proud to know that our streets in the wintertime are well taken care of in comparison with some of our neighboring towns.


STORM EMERGENCY


In Sepember, due to a series of easterly storms, much damage was done to our water front from Humarock to Glades Point, and it was necessary to ask for a transfer of $2,000.00 for clean-up work, patching, etc. In December, 1950, another storm entirely washed out Glades Road and it was necessary for the Board of Selectmen to declare a state of emergency in order that we could have the necessary funds to keep Glades open for public use.


After attending many meetings of the various Highway Asso- ciations, we have been instructed by the leaders in this field to put our roads in as good condition as possible this year as the future is rather uncertain.


I wish to thank all the Town Departments for their fine co- operation, and if at any time the Highway Department can be of any assistance to the people of Scituate, we will be glad to hear their problems.


Respectfully yours,


MATTHEW L. BROWN,


Highway Surveyor.

SUPERVISOR CARE OF VETERANS' GRAVES


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR CARE OF VETERANS' GRAVES


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Scituate, Mass.


Gentlemen :


I submit my report as Supervisor of Veterans' Graves in the Town of Scituate for the year of 1950.


I have faithfully inspected all cemeteries from time to time and have found all graves in good condition.


I would like to remind all caretakers that they should report to me whenever a Veteran is intered in their respective Cemeteries.


I wish to thank all who are continuing to assist me in my efforts.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE REPORT


REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE


To the Voters of Scituate:


In spite of the fact that in the year 1950 business and employ- ment were better than normal, our expenditures for direct relief were much higher than usual. This condition is likely to continue on account of the fact that many recipients are unemployable and being ineligible for Old Age Assistance have to be cared for in this manner. Another factor tending to increase the expenditures in this category is the apparently increasing number of neglected and abandoned children who have to be supported. The practice of arresting heads of families and sending them to jail for infrac- tions of the law thereby leaving their wives and children as charges upon the Town is something of which our vaunted 20th century civilization cannot be too proud.


Old Age Assistance costs also continue to increase and a further increase is inevitable due to the rising cost of food, leaving out of consideration what may happen if the referendum approved by the voters at the last election should go into effect.


The Aid to Dependent Children account also continues to grow, due in some measure to eligible families moving to Scituate from outside towns and as the State settlement laws do not apply in these cases the town of residence assumes the cost.


We wish to extend our thanks to the individuals and organiza- tions who have assisted us in many ways and to the various Town Departments whose whole hearted co-operation is very much appreciated.


Respectfully submitted,


MERCY E. LAVANGE, Chairman, W. M. BROWN, FRANKLIN T. SHARP, Board of Public Welfare.

TOWN COUNSEL'S REPORT


REPORT OF THE TOWN COUNSEL


During the past year advice and opinions were given on many and varied subjects to the heads of the various departments of the town. As in the past most of the meetings of the selectmen were attended as well as several other meetings when requested.


The action against the Town for "legal services and expert assistance" alleged to have been rendered to the Planning Board was tried at length in the District Court at Abington before Judge Kalus and resulted in a verdict for the Town. The plaintiff has an appeal pending before the Appellate Division, solely on questions of law. Briefs have been prepared and filed on behalf of the Town and it is anticipated that the case will be argued on appeal in the near future.


The City of Boston has brought suit in the Superior Court of Suffolk County against the Town seeking to recover welfare payments made to residents of Scituate for which the Town is alleged to have been responsible. This case is being defended.


An appeal from a decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals granting a variance was brought in the Plymouth Superior Court. A number of hearings were held as a result of which the plaintiff's application for the issuance of an injunction against the Zoning Board of Appeals was denied. A motion to dismiss the appeal, and a demurrer on behalf of one of the defendants, were filed and are pending for hearing. Subsequent developments, however, indicate that the issues presented will become of purely academic interest, and it is not anticipated that the case will be pressed for hearing.


Respectfully submitted,


ALFRED C. BLAKE, Town Counsel.

78


ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT REPORT


13. Assisted Massachusetts Department of Public Works High- way Engineers in layout and grades for new section of Gannett Road.


14. Assisted the Assessors with new lots, subdivisions and areas, etc.


Each succeeding year demands that more time be spent on our Foreshore Protection problems. As you know from periodical reports, our foreshores are rapidly deteriorating and the Town must be prepared to spend considerable money during the next few years to correct this condition. This department is very grate- ful to D.P.W., Waterways Division Engineers for their assistance and prompt co-operation given us during our several emergencies.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN E. BAMBER, Town Engineer.
