Total 3,969
The attention of interested parties is called to Chapter 51, Sec- tion 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 adver- tised 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.

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The report of the Fire Department for the year 1951 follows:
Apparatus. The apparatus of the department is, with one exception, of the latest type consistent with the various conditions to be met in the several districts in which they are stationed. That is not to say that the equipment is not adequate to cope with con- ditions outside their several districts. On the contrary, these units are engineered with an eye to the over-all protection of the Town and the specific hazards present in their primary locations. The new engine has been put into service at Station 2 (Humarock) and is performing excellently. Various features incorporated in the design and equipment of this truck will, we are sure, greatly improve the protection offered this section. The exception noted above is Engine 3, the unit currently assigned to the station at North Scituate Village. This piece is now twenty-four years old and, obviously, is not able to deliver the service of a modern unit. This engine should be replaced in the not too distant future.
Stations. The fire stations at Scituate Harbor, Humarock and Minot (Stations 1, 2 and 4 respectively) are in very good repair and require only normal maintenance. The North Scituate station (Station 3) is in very poor condition and at best is not suitable to the needs of the department. As mentioned above the apparatus presently housed there must be replaced by a modern unit. The present building is not adaptable to the garaging of a modern truck and the proper housing of the men stationed there without exten- sive alterations entailing an investment greatly out of proportion to the returns. It now appears that it is more in line with good business practice to make such repairs as are absolutely necessary to continue the plant until such time as it may be opportune to replace both building and apparatus.
Personnel. The manpower of the department has been in- creased in the last year by the promotion of two callmen to full paid status. This step has made it possible to have a more nearly adequate crew on duty at all times thereby, in great measure, in- creasing the efficiency of response to alarms of fire and first aid rescue calls.
60
FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT
First Aid. The First Aid and Rescue Service continues to be a not inconsiderable part of the work of the department. The efficiency of this division has been stepped up by the installation of two-way radio communications. This case of contact between truck and headquarters saves invaluable time in receiving orders, keeping headquarters instantly and continually cognizant of con- dition at the scene and requesting additional services to be dispatched.
Fire. Alarm. The fire alarm division of the department has been augmented by the addition of radio communications. These units were purchased in part with departmental funds and with funds made available for the purpose by the Director of Civil Defense. In addition to the 250 watt base station at fire alarm headquarters, the following units have been equipped: Chief's Car, Rescue Truck, Forest Truck #1 and Engine 4 (Humarock). The Ladder Truck is to be equipped immediately. It is hoped that additional units will be added from time to time until the entire rolling stock of the department is so equipped. This equipment is not only of great value in the operation of the department within the Town but greatly facilitates responses in cases of mutual aid between our Town and the Towns of Cohasset, Hingham, Hull, and Weymouth, all of which operate similar equipment on the same assigned wave-length. The value of this net-work, in the event of enemy action, can be readily appreciated.
Alarms. The fire emergency calls responded to in the year just past were, for the most part, easily handled and with relatively little loss. We bear in mind, however, that an incipient conflagra- tion is easily snuffed out if it is quenched in the first minutes. Promptness of response is, of course, dependent upon promptness of notification. In the past it has been our experience that many persons have been reluctant to call the department until first attempting to fight the fire. Let me impress it upon all that it is far better for the department to return to quarters from a run which proved to be needless than it is to be summoned after a fire has gained dangerous headway because of late notification. Call the fire department - first.
Once again we take the opportunity to express our apprecia- tion of the friendly and helpful relations enjoyed in our work with our fellow townsmen, town officials and the various other departments.
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 1951 follows:
We are gratified to report that the grass and woods fires during the past year were, for the most part, not of serious proportions. That is to say that those the department was called upon to extin- guish were, with few exceptions, easily controlled by the permanent men without recourse to the sounding of the fire alarm.
In great degree this agreeable condition may be attributed to the ever increasing co-operation of the residents of the Town in obtaining permits for open air fires of all kinds. We feel that another factor is the proven policy of the department in burning over recurrent hazards when and if weather allows.
The several forest fire trucks are in good working condition, at this writing, and should give adequate service during the current year.
As noted in the report of the fire department, Forest Fire Truck # 1 is now equipped with two-way radio which should be of great value in the work of the department.
Once again the department expresses its appreciation of the help and co-operation of your Board, our fellow townspeople and the personnel and heads of the several other town departments.
Respectfully submitted,
BARTHOLOMEW A. CURRAN,
Chief.

HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT
REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of Scituate:
Following is a brief resume of the work accomplished by your Highway Department during the past year of 1951.
Due to the tremendous growth of the Town during the past few years, the steady increase in the cost of road materials and the adding of new streets, it was practically impossible for us to keep up with the demands for service requested of us. However, we feel that we have accomplished many worthwhile highway and sidewalk improvements. The average cost of maintaining a mile of road, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Works, is $1600 and we feel that with the appropriation available, we have done very well to maintain our approximately one hundred miles of road.
PATCHING
During the year 1951, 340 tons of bituminous concrete were purchased and 250 tons were made at the plant at Egypt. A patch- ing truck patrols our streets, weather permitting, looking for bad breaks the year round.
DRAINAGE
One of our most serious problems during the year 1951 was the drainage problem and it will continue to be for the next few years. In 1951, we laid 4800 feet of eight and ten inch pipe and constructed 30 catch basins and repaired and cleaned old existing systems. More linear feet of drainage was laid than in any given year in the history of the Town. Despite this fact, we have many more drainage problems which we hope to take care of in 1952.
GUARD RAIL
We constructed 4650 fect of new guard rail. In 1952, we hope the old type guard rail will all be replaced by the new bumper type.
63
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT
STREET CLEANING
As usual, we had a man at Scituate Harbor four days a week, one day a week in North Scituate Village and it was also necessary to put on another man two days a week at Minot Beach, two days a week through the Sand Hills section and one day a week at Humarock. We feel that this service has helped greatly to keep the Town looking clean and presentable.
TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
Two hundred seventy gallons of paint were purchased for street marking. On application to the Department of Public Works, this amount was matched and applied by the State at no additional cost to the Town. It is my opinion that this work is very necessary as it furnishes a guide for the motorist in bad weather and I am planning to continue this work in 1952.
SURFACE TREATMENT
Seventeen miles of our roads were surface treated. It is very important that we keep our streets well sealed as they will break up within a very short time if this work is not done.
RESURFACING ROADS
Beaver Dam Road from the intersection of Branch Street to Cudworth Road, mixed in place.
Cornet Stetson Road, from 3A to the Norwell Line, mixed in place.
Edward Foster Road and Peggotty Beach Road from the inter- section of Front Street to the Parking Space, Type I. We still have a problem on Edward Foster Road due to the fact that tides have carried away what protection we had on the Harbor side and it is very necessary that we spend considerable money to protect our investment there.
The dangerous corner on Maple Street was eliminated and also the curve on Clapp Road, west of Summer Street.
At the present time, one of our worst roads in Town is First Parish Road from 3A to Mungo's Corner. However, we did peti- tion the County Commissioners for a new layout which would eliminate the very dangerous corner at Judge Kaplan's estate, but due to the opposition at the meeting at Plymouth, we were unable
64
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT
to carry out these improvements. It will be necessary to resurface this road with adequate drainage during 1952.
Jericho Road from the Yacht Club to Damon Road was widened ten feet, Type I. We still have a drainage problem here which we hope will be taken care of in 1952.
SIDEWALKS
A new sidewalk was built with a curb and guard rail from the corner of Kent Street to the Parking Space at Peggotty Beach.
The old plank sidewalk on Bailey's Causeway was rebuilt and the sidewalk, with curb from the Yacht Club to Damon Road, as promised in 1950, was built.
We hope that this sidewalk program will continue, especially near the new Elementary School. We feel that our children have no protection whatsoever walking to and from the school especially during the winter months.
CHAPTER 90
The cutoff on Gannett Road with drainage and a 3 inch asphalt penetration base was completed and it is our hope that a 21/2 inch Type I top will be put on in the year 1952. However, we have our doubts due to the fact that Humarock Bridge will use up the available funds which are usually allotted to us.
GLADES ROAD
Glades Road was rebuilt twice in 1951 and no doubt it will have to be rebuilt many times in 1952. At present it is one of the most 'expensive roads to maintain that we have, however, we feel that we must keep it open as long as it is a public road, for fire protection.
NEW ROADS ACCEPTED
Tenth Avenue, Carver Avenue, Clifton and Thomas Avenues were built and adequate drainage provided.
BRIDGES
Humarock Bridge has been a constant source of worry to us for the past few years. This bridge was condemned in 1944. How- ever, by patching and by being constantly watchful, we have kept
65
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT REPORT
it open to the present time, but in 1952, if it is not rebuilt, it will have to be closed to traffic for safety sake.
Edward Foster Bridge - The retaining wall was reinforced with concrete and steel rods and at the present time, it is in very good condition. However, it has been impossible to keep it well lighted due to vandals breaking the globes. It is our hope that it will be lighted in 1952 by the Electric Light Company by flood lights placed on either end of the bridge.
SNOW REMOVAL
The year 1951 was a relatively mild winter as far as snow re- moval was concerned. However, we had a tremendous amount of sanding to do, which, by comparison, is much more expensive than plowing snow. We used 35 tons of salt and 3500 tons of sand.
Many people do not realize the tremendous cost that is attached to snow removal. In the Fall, all our trucks, plows and sanders have to be in first class condition, sand and salt purchased and snow fences erected and taken down in the Spring. We have to be pre- pared for the worst despite the fact that we may have a mild winter.
In conclusion, I wish to thank all departments for their fine co-operation during the past year and also the many citizens whose constructive criticism was most helpful. With this continued co-operation, we know that Scituate can be one of the finest places in which to live. At any time this Department can be of any help, we are more than willing to listen to your problems.
Respectfully submitted,
MATTHEW L. BROWN,
Highway Surveyor:
