WATER COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
During the past year a reasonable rainfall relieved the strain upon our water resources resulting from the ever increasing demands caused by new construction. At one period of the summer one of our finest wells, at Stearns' Meadow, developed trouble and we were in jeopardy of losing this supply: your Board resolved to try a cure, and thanks to the whole-hearted co-operation of our Select- men and Advisory Board an emergency loan was approved by the State authorities, and the project was brought to a successful con- clusion. This incident makes us painfully aware that careful vigi- lance of our water supply is our constant duty.
This phenomenal growth in our Town affects all our public services in a similar degree, and it is our duty as a whole to face collectively these various demands which must be reflected in our tax rate.
These public services cannot be ignored, and therefore it be- comes all of us to endeavor to face these issues with a long view, that in so doing sudden and great strains upon our resources may be avoided.
Your Board takes this opportunity to commend the co-operative spirit we have encountered in our relations with our Board of Selectmen and our Advisory Board.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER S. ALLEN, WILSON S. BROWN, WILLIAM E. SHUTTLEWORTH.

TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
January 15, 1952
To the Board of Selectmen,
Town Hall,
Scituate.
Gentlemen:
This year the town forests were mowed and cleaned up as usual. The fire lanes were continued and gravel put on them, so now the forests are open to the fire departments in case of fire. The State Forester recommended thinning of trees in the Mann Lot Forest and this was started.
More people are using our forests each year and we encourage everyone to visit them and to use them for any outdoor affair.
Respectfully submitted,
TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE.

CLAM WARDEN'S REPORT
REPORT OF THE CLAM WARDEN
To the Board of Selectmen,
Scituate, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The report of the Clam Warden is herewith submitted for your approval.
The report is based on the activities of the Department.
The Scituate Harbor, Sand Hills, Peggotty Beach and the creeks, close to the residential district in Minot are closed, because of pollution. These areas can be dug over, for sea worms, and for the use of bait.
The past summer, with the help of two men, we have started to take off the mussel piles. At the North River one small flat has been cleaned. We are now working on the Humarock area, which is coming along nicely, and should have the majority of the piles off in a few months.
Our work is made possible by the funds received from the Board of Selectmen and the State and is appreciated very much.
Respectfully submitted, WALTER S. O'NEIL,
Clam Warden.

SCITUATE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
SCITUATE HEALTH SERVICE, INC.
Report of the President
This year the Scituate Public Health Nursing Service, Inc. has legally changed its name to the Scituate Health Service, Inc. A change was deemed advisable in order to clarify the fact that we are not a visiting nursing service, but rather a health service to the Town of Scituate.
Our greatest source of income is through the generosity of those citizens who contribute to our appeal for funds during our annual membership drive.
The annual budget of about $1000.00 offers you:
1. The Well Baby Clinic - Dr. Olga Allers, Children's Hospital Pediatrician examines on the average of 20 babies cach month.
2. Our organization pays for the medicines and supplies used by the Public Health Nurse.
3. The Immunization Clinic - held in cooperation with the Board of Health gave whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus and small pox shots to children.
4. The school dentist is assisted every week by one of our members.
We wish to thank the citizens of Scituate for their generous contributions which enable us to carry on with this work. Our thanks also to Mrs. Alice Dowd, Public Health Nurse, for her work with us in the Baby Clinic.
Respectfully submitted,
LAURA H. DAVIS, President.

BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of Scituate:
The year 1951 has been one of the most successful years in the progress made in the Health Program. Many new laws enacted during the past year by the State and Nation in health matters, have been reflected in a betterment in health in all communities throughout the country.
Your Board of Health has taken advantage of all information available which has been published by the State through its many agencies which would be of benefit to our Town in the furthering of good health.
Our many Clinics have been well attended and have increased throughout the years, which reflects favorably, and proves that our townspeople appreciate these Clinics and realize the good they attain.
Many of our sanitary problems have been eliminated by the very effective work of our Sanitary Engineer, Mr. Philip Bailey, and the plumbing inspectors, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Edward McCarthy; both have rendered very valuable assistance to the Board at all times.
Mr. George Otis, our Milk Inspector, has had all milk sold in the Town inspected from time to time, and all stores and dealers selling milk properly licensed.
In conjunction with the State Inspectors, we have inspected all restaurants and all other places where food is dispensed, and have found everything in good order and the health laws obeyed.
Those employed by the Board of Health, in any capacity what- soever, have given their full time and have rendered very valuable service at all times. The Board of Health takes this opportunity to thank them, as well as all Department Heads who have cooperated with us in making our work successful as well as making our Town one of the outstanding towns in the Commonwealth in health and health matters.
Respectfully submitted, DR. CLIFFORD L. WARD, Chairman, WALTER L. ENOS, Secretary GEORGE H. OTIS.

BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL DENTAL CLINIC
Board of Health,
Scituate, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
On May 24, 1951 a pre-school examination of children enter- ing the kindergarten was held at the elementary school by the school dentist and a specialist in pediatrics. Sixty-nine children were examined by the dentist. The parents were consulted and urged to visit their family dentist. Over 50 per cent of the parents signed to have their children attend the Dental Clinic at the school.
In June five Pre-School Clinics were held, at which twenty-five children received treatment.
At the beginning of the school year about 125 kindergarten children were examined in the Hatherly School.
The results of carly treatment are showing up in the first and second grades.
In September the dental hygienist started work on the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. This consisted of a thorough prophylaxis followed by fluorine treatments, and a notice given of dental defects present for the attention of their family dentist. Fluorine treat- ments are given by the hygienist in selected grades from kinder- garten upwards.
The work done by the school dentist must be confined to the kindergarten and the first three grades. It must be remembered that we have four rooms each in the kindergarten, first, second and third grades. Emergency work only can be done in the upper grades by the school dentist.
The Scituate Nursing Service has furnished the clinic with volunteer assistants. Great credit is due to Mrs. Winthrop Hall whose untiring efforts and faithful devotion to duty has helped the progress of the work immensely.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIS B. PARSONS, D.M.D.

BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE DENTAL HYGIENIST
Scituate Board of Health,
Scituate, Mass.
Dear Sirs:
I wish to submit the following brief report of my work as the Dental Hygienist at the Central Elementary School.
To all children from the kindergarten through the sixth grade, inclusive, I have given complete dental examinations. Some seven hundred children were examined in these grades. With parental permission, over five hundred have received dental care to a vary- ing extent. I have given approximately five hundred prophylactic treatments and in excess of one thousand Sodium Fluoride treat- ments during the school year period. Each child from kindergarten through grade three has received the complete series of four Sodium Fluoride treatments and at least two treatments were given to the older pupils from grade four through grade six.
In each classroom I have given brief talks instructing the children in proper tooth brush procedure and stressing the great importance of healthy and attractive teeth now and when they grow up. It is a pleasure to work with children of this age. Their willingness and cooperation has been gratifying.
I would like to say that in observation of similar school dental clinics, the facilities of the one in Scituate is unequalled.
Respectfully submitted,
ELLA J. DICKINSON, D.H.

BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF PLUMBING
Board of Health, Scituate, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
This is a report of your Plumbing and Sanitary Inspector for nineteen hundred fifty-one.
During the year examinations were held by the Division of Civil Service to allow any who wished to qualify for the position as Plumbing Inspector and your appointment of Mr. Edward B. McCarthy as Assistant Inspector is much appreciated.
Inspections have been made when permits have been issued for new and re-modelling installations.
The problem of adequate sewage disposal to prevent disease is ever before us. The Building Department is most cooperative in calling to the attention of home-owners the desirability of proper disposal facilities and the home-owner should feel free to call on this department for advice in this regard.
The Road Department is adding to its budget amounts for the proper drainage of streets and land areas thus carrying off the surface water which allows the land to absorb and properly purify the sewage.
In several congested areas, it is apparent that a public sewer is needed and I look forward to the day when such a project will be started.
Yours respectfully,
PHILIP S. BAILEY, Plumbing Inspector.

PEIRCE MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT
REPORT OF THE PEIRCE MEMORIAL LIBRARY
January 17, 1952
Board of Selectmen,
Scituate, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
During the year 1951 the use of the library facilities showed a marked growth. This was shown not only in the increase of the number of books and magazines in circulation but in the increased use of the available reference material in the library.
At the December meeting of the trustees it was voted to open the library every weekday except Monday. It is very heartening to enter the building and see students at the reading table and chil- dren in the cheery juvenile corner and feel the sense of useful activity prevailing.
Two memorial shelves were added to the children's book corner, one given by the Lydia Collett Corporation in memory of Mrs. Bethia Barnes, Mrs. June Cook and Mrs. Mary Wilder, former members of the group, and the other shelf in memory of Mrs. Carrie Vickery.
The 100th anniversary of the opening of the first public library in Massachusetts was observed the last week of May. A program arranged by Mrs. Knowles, our librarian, was held each day. These included a Girl Scout day, a Cub Scout day, a story-telling afternoon and a most enjoyable evening with Mr. Timothy Fuller, an author and great-grandson of the founder of the library, who spoke on "The Modern Culture."
During Book Week Mrs. Knowles entertained the kindergarten children to acquaint them with the library.
We wish to thank our fellow townspeople for their support.
Respectfully submitted, VERNETTA G. BARNES,
President, Peirce Memorial Library Association.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The year 1951 has been a typical Planning Board year. In retrospect, it is marked with activities that are many and varied, and, therefore, characteristic of the wide-spread interest and partici- pation of the Board whose particular concern is all matters affecting the public welfare.
Despite increased difficulties in home construction, this Board has seen seventeen subdividers during the past year, of which:
4 were given final approval as designated on plan
1 was disapproved and same designated on plan
4 received partial approval (plan incomplete to date), same not designated on plan
3 were dismissed as not requiring approval
5 too little advanced to report on at this time
A calendar review discloses the interesting fact that an inor- dinate amount of Planning Board time was given to matters per- taining to Zoning. During this period, we have been confronted with seven bona fide situations involving technicalities of Zoning and Zoning problems. We want to say here - and this is the sig- nificant feature - that much of the effort devoted to examination of these situations was made under pressure of public demand. Numerous appeals for relief - advice, assistance, or both - were registered with us in 1951. We wish to thank all those citizens for their confidence and faith in the Board, and for every opportunity afforded us to render some service to the good people of Scituate.
Of the two members appointed from the Board to the Town Manager Committee, one - John A. Holman - was elected chair- man. It was a grave loss to both the Planning Board and to this special study committee when Mr. Holman resigned after many months of unselfish performance.
We are delighted to announce that our most ambitious under- taking, the Master Plan of Scituate, is successfully launched. Already completed is the basic map of the entire town; the Board is now working on the rudiments of the first extension plans.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
of the town's development; - a Master Plan that will project many years into the future.
The state Federation of Planning Boards did us singular honor this year, by delegating your Planning Board to serve as host to the Regional Conference meeting of Region 5C, at Dreamwold Hall.
Two new members have been appointed to the Board since March of 1951; both young men are attorneys-at-law, anxious to contribute their talents in this special official capacity. With the three remaining members - a young civil and sanitary engineer, and two long-standing, older members who are experienced in busi- ness and industrial fields - an excellent balance of abilities and perspectives has resulted.
In closing, the chairman would like to express his personal gratitude to a hard-working Board, that met as often as every week, summer or winter, when it was considered necessary. Also, our humble thanks is extended to all those whose cooperation has helped to make this a fruitful year.
