SEWERAGE INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE SEWERAGE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
Citizens of Scituate:
Your Committee as appointed by the Selectmen to carry out your instructions in accordance with Article 2 of the Special Town Meeting of April 23, 1952 was organized with Philip S. Bailey, Chairman, Edward S. Rand, Secretary, John E. Bamber, William J. Lumbert and Walter J. Breen.
On account of the magnitude of the proposition and the ulti- mate great expense involved it was thought by the Committee that its' most important duty was to secure the best possible technical advice. Accordingly the Chairman was instructed to consult with Metcalf and Eddy to present the preliminary report.
Mr. Marston, a member of the firm of the engineers, has pre- sented to the Committee their report in mimeographed form with an accompanying plan showing stages in the development of a system which starts with a Sewage Treatment Plant located in the vicinity of Kent Street and Driftway. This treatment plant with its drying beds would be covered to confine any odors and the efflu- ent would be chlorinated and discharged through a pipeline into the ever changing waters of the North River. The plant would be designed at the outset to provide capacity for the treatment of a large portion of this area to be served ultimately.
The report shows a main sewer line running from this plant to the junction of Hatherly and Jericho Roads, with a lift station in the vicinity of Kent Street and Edward Foster Road.
The second stage in the system would provide branch sewers on Brook Street, First Parish Road, Beal Place, Otis Place, Allen Place and Hazel Avenue.
The third stage would be a trunk line on Hatherly Road to approximately Brockton Avenue to provide a connection for a forced main from the Sand Hills and Hatherly district.
The first stage calls for an approximate expenditure of $698,- 000.00, the second stage $122,000 and the third $42,000.
The State Department of Public Health, your Committee and the Engineers are convinced of the need for a sewerage system to protect public health in this highly congested area.
101
VETERANS' SERVICES REPORT
Metcalf and Eddy have suggested that a more particular study of the areas shown on this map as well as the Sand Hills and Hath- crly Beach section be made.
Their estimate of the cost of this further study is $6,000.00 therefore this amount has been requested under an article in the Warrant of this Annual Meeting.
The Committee trusts that in the interest of Public Health you will accept their preliminary report and provide for the funds for a continued study.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF VETERANS' SERVICES
January 13, 1954
To the Board of Selectmen and to our Fellow Townsmen:
We submit herewith for your consideration our report for the year 1953. Instead of describing the activities of our office, which are truly numerous, we would like to thank most heartily those who have helped us during this year. To your Board of Selectmen must go my sincere appreciation, for without their won- derful cooperation we could do little or nothing for the Veteran.
To your Police Department for their ready assistance whenever called upon. To Satuit Post, V.F.W. and Scituate Post, A.L. for the marvelous assistance they have rendered us whenever called upon, and lest we forget to the Red Cross, especially to Mrs. Charles Pingrce, whom neither we nor the many veterans of our Town can ever thank enough for her splendid assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
JEROME F. CROWLEY, Veterans' Service Officer.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN
To the Board of Selectmen Town Hall, Scituate, Mass.
Gentlemen:
This year we planted 131 maple and 11 willow trees on our streets. Most of these were planted on new streets and in places left open by the elms we have been removing. We tried planting some of these trees in the fall but most of them we put out in April and May. They were fertilized and watered and they have looked good all summer.
We removed and burned 74 diseased elm trees from our streets. This is the largest number we have had since the disease came here. But this coming year for the first time we have had a decrease in diseased trees. This is encouraging to us for we have been carrying out the recommendations of the University of Massachusetts in all ways.
The tick was plentiful the first part of the summer and our spray seemed to control them. The gypsy moth showed up much worse this year in the trapping than before. Although no large colonies were found, we scouted all the suspicious spots this fall. The jap beetle does not seem to be any different. There seems to be some of them everywhere and we hope to have better control this coming year.
We have kept our street corners clear of brush for safer driving. We still hope that those who have been dumping refuse on the roadside will stop it and help us make our roadsides more beautiful.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN W. FORD, Tree Warden.

TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE REPORT
REPORT OF THE TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE
To the Board of Selectmen
Gentlemen:
This year the forests have been mowed and the brush burned, and all the fire lanes cleared. A space was started for a small picnic area at the Mann Lot forest, so that forest can be used for picnics as well as the Pinson Hill one. The new bubbler installed at Pinson Hill forest last year is being enjoyed very much.
We continue to extend an invitation to all to come and visit the forests and use them for any outings or picnics. We want to thank those now using these places for the care in keeping them clean and watching out for fires.
Respectfully submitted, TOWN FOREST COMMITTEE

PEIRCE MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT
REPORT OF THE PEIRCE MEMORIAL LIBRARY
January 10, 1954
Mr. William F. Slattery, Chairman Board of Selectmen
Scituate, Mass.
With the exception of two weeks in June, when the library was closed to permit the entire floor area to be resurfaced, the library was open five days a week, throughout the year 1953. Incontro- vertible evidence that this library is serving an ever larger number of residents is to be found in the following statistics taken from the librarian's report.
New books added 400
Total books borrowed 28,596
Total magazines 2,880
31,476
Total cardholders
623
It may come as a surprise to many to learn that of the total number of books borrowed, over 8,500 were juveniles. In fact, the increase in the number of children using the facilities of the library is so great that the association believes the time has arrived when we should provide a separate children's room. Plans are now being developed for such a room. We expect to realize this long cherished dream by late spring or the early summer of 1954.
The Peirce Memorial Library Association is gratified to be able to continue to render a much needed service to the residents of Scituate.
Respectfully submitted, VERNETTA G. BARNES, President, Peirce Memorial Library Association.

ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT
REPORT OF THE ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
January 9, 1954
Board of Selectmen
Scituate, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The Allen Memorial Library has continued its growth during 1953 as indicated in the following tabulation:
Total circulation 28,628
New books by purchase and gift 715
New borrowers registered 417
Total borrowers registered 2,312
The gain in circulation over 1952 was 3,855 to December 12, when the library was closed for alterations, but for which the full year's gain would have been nearer 5,000.
The enlargement program, initiated in 1953, should result in a greatly increased usefulness of the library to the people of Scituate in the years ahead.
We again wish to thank the townspeople for their cooperation in the support and improvement of the library.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT P. RICH, President, Allen Memorial Library Association.

PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE REPORT
REPORT OF THE PLYMOUTH COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
To the Citizens of Scituate:
The Plymouth County Extension Service is a part of the United States Department of Agriculture and the University of Massachu- setts. The County Office is located at the Court House, Brockton, Mass., and is composed of three Departments, Agriculture, Home- making and 4-H Club Work. Though supported by Federal Funds, the majority of the financial assistance comes from county sources. Token appropriations are made by practically all of the Plymouth County towns to the County treasury, and these funds are applied toward the County Aid to Agriculture budget. Town Directors are also appointed when town funds are appropriated.
The Extension Service is an educational organization. County Extension agents strive to bring to county people the results of re- search in Agriculture and Homemaking, that will increase incomes, provide a better living and happier family life, by teaching people to help themselves.
Attention to the consuming public is also given to permit partnership between farmer and consumer to be mutually bene- ficial. In addition to the staff of County Extension workers, hun- dreds of volunteer leaders extend the teaching of agents by publi- cizing, teaching and demonstrating to others in their community the practices they have learned.
A Board of 9 Trustees appointed by the County Commissioners administer the Extension Service programs.
During the past year 323 meetings have been held in the County with an attendance of 11,171. Over 74,000 circular letters have been distributed.
Extension service is worth while and I urge the citizens of Scituate to take advantage of its programs.
Respectfully submitted,
RUTH M. MEYERS, Town Director,
Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture.

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
January 20, 1954 To The Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The report of the fire department for the year 1953 follows:
The work of the department has increased proportionately with the increase in population. The past year shows an increase of emergency calls of slightly less than ten per cent.
The first aid work has increased in approximately the same amount.
The record will show that the loss by fire in the past year has been very low. We have been fortunate in the greater part in that prompt notification enabled the department to reach the scene be- fore the blaze had reached major proportions.
The report of the insurance underwriters rating bureau which appears elsewhere, will set forth the needs and aims of the depart- ment for the future.
As always the department has enjoyed the friendly and help- ful co-operation of the various officers and departments of the town and that of the citizens.
Respectfully submitted,
BARTHOLOMEW A. CURRAN, Chief. BAC/t

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT
REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE WARDEN
January 20, 1954
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The report of the Forest Fire Department for the year 1953 follows:
The department was called to extinguish an increased amount of grass fires, but fortunately the greater part of these blazes were quelled in their incipiency with little or no loss.
By far the greatest cause of grass and forest fires has been the careless burning of trash. I am happy to note, however, that for the most part the citizens of the town are fully co-operative with the rules and regulations set forth in the General Laws of the Common- wealth. This observance of the rules is responsible, in no small degree, for the low incidence of grass fires.
The burning of grass lands was continued during the past year and will be carried out in so far as weather permits in the present year.
To the officers, departments and citizens of the town a sincere thank you for the cordial relations of the past year.
Respectfully submitted, BARTHOLOMEW A. CURRAN, Chief Forest Warden.

PLANNING BOARD REPORT
REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The outstanding accomplishment of the Planning Board for 1953 was the advancement of its rezoning program for residential areas, which was adopted at a special town meeting in June.
Since present thinking is that multiple housing of low cost units raise the cost of services higher than the tax value of the de- velopment and, since that type of development cannot afford to in- clude one-half acre or much less one acre land in a house lot, it can be assumed that Scituate will not become vulnerable to jerry- building.
The Board will present at the annual town meeting a very im- portant program for the extension of business areas and by-laws for the governing of same.
It is inescapable that business will have its expansion, as it always follows population growth and, while the Board expects controversy in some degree, it feels that the innate wisdom of the citizens will approve its recommendation.
The Board desires to express its appreciation of the technical assistance of Mr. Benjamin, whom we believe has given us services considerably beyond his remuneration. The Board in particular, is indebted to Mr. John Bamber, Town Engineer, for his advice and assistance.
During the year, Mr. McMorrow resigned from the Board and Mr. Robert Hayes was appointed to the vacancy. Mr. Hayes is a lawyer, experienced in conveyancing, and has proved a valuable addition.
Since the editor of this report is the Board's Chairman, I wish to express my appreciation of the time and thought given by the members to the problems of planning and zoning and their devo- tion to an ideal.
Respectfully submitted,
KENNETH MANSFIELD, Chairman.
