tions for major and feeder ways showing new, widened, or relocated streets and connections with State highways; (3) detailed plans for traffic and parking in Scituate Harbor; (4) surveys of and recom- mendations for recreation and public open areas, both present and future; and (5) a complete redrafting of the regulations governing new subdivisions in respect to the facilities to be provided by builders and safeguards to ensure performance.


The Board has provided that the work of last year's Harbor Development Committee be taken into full consideration in all studies affecting the Harbor section.


The Planning Board examined in considerable detail the ad- visability of recommending a Public Works Department to the Town to replace the several independent departments now handling public works functions. It is the Board's opinion that the cost of setting up and operating such a Department will not at this time be justified by the probable savings in purchasing of supplies, common use of equipment, manpower, etc. It is a subject which merits further study because in years to come such a Public Works Depart- ment will undoubtedly become necessary.


The Board has looked into the question of housing for the elderly following a pattern established in many Massachusetts cities and towns under auspices of the State Housing Board and recommends the establishment of a Scituate Housing Authority to work out details and inform the Town more fully on this subject.


Finally, The Planning Board wishes to express its sincere ap- preciation to the many Town officials and others who have joined it throughout the year in these various matters. The Public Works discussions included the Selectmen and the officials of all the Town departments involved, the Taxpayers Association, and the League of Women Voters. Especial thanks go to the three man subcom- mittee of the Advisory Committee who have met with the Board throughout the year and contributed tremendously to all of the thinking on all of the subjects.

CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY REPORT


REPORT OF THE CILVIL DEFENSE AGENCY


31 December 1957


To The Honorable Board of Selectmen Scituate, Mass.


Gentlemen:


The Civil Defense Agency activities for the year 1957 are hereby set forth in this report.


On May 8th, under the direction of Mr. William J. Lumbert, the Scituate Civil Defense Agency was ordered to stand by to assist the area in and around the Town of Plymouth in fighting local forest fires. Chief Bartholomew Curran responded quickly thorugh mutual aid and the CD emergency on each request for needed equipment. By Sunday the emergency had diminished and we were put on normal operation. Much credit goes to the men in the Fire Department, the CD Communications Center, and the boys in the Scituate High School Amateur Radio Club for their many hours of service.


Since assuming the duties of director in June, the following items have been accomplished:


1. The moving of our communications center from the Water Department in Greenbush to the School Administration Building on Cudworth Road. Mr. Edward K. Chace and the School Committee are to be commended on their fore- sighted decision in granting us the use of these facilities. The location is near perfect for our needs.


2. Renovation of the above room to provide a separate en- trance, a small room with three operating positions and six additional booths with keys, headphones, and a master oscillator. These booths will also be used by the various departments of CD in the event of an emergency. There is now adequate space for technical instruction in various phases of our work.


3. The purchase of an emergency power unit to be used in the event of commercial power failure. This supplements


146


CIVIL DEFENSE AGENCY REPORT


our portable facilities. We have also increased the number of mobile communicators.


4. Revision of our organizational methods under the direc- tion of two Deputy Directors - Judson Merrill and Ernest Richardson. They will operate their responsibilities on a functional basis.


5. In preparation for the overall policies of our Federal Civil Defense program, we are stressing family preparedness and training. The first step being to set up classes in first aid under Red Cross instruction.


6. Plans are being formulated for a workable system of regis- tering volunteers, training them, and using them when an emergency arises.


My sincere appreciation to the Board of Selectmen and the various townspeople who have helped me in my first six months as Civil Defense Director.


Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. BORDNE, Director Scituate Civil Defense Agency

REPORT OF PERSONNEL BOARD


REPORT OF THE PERSONNEL BOARD


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Scituate, Massachusetts


The Personnel Board has actively administered the Town of Scituate Classification and Salary Plan in accordance with Section 12 of said plan. In retrospect we believe the Board's activities in 1957 have produced increasingly co-operative relations between Town employees and the Board which can only result in a fair administration of the Plan to the benefit of the employee and the taxpayer alike.


The latest study of salary schedules has led us to recommend a 5% pay increase in Schedules I, II and III with a $250.00 maximum for any individual. This decision was brought about by the ever increasing cost of living indices and a study of the relative salary position for Scituate employees as compared with employees in other towns in eastern Massachusetts with similar population, valua- tion and area characteristics. The Board is therefore recommend- ing adoption of the following article at the Town Meeting of March, 1958: (Copy of article in Town Warrant.)

TOWN ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT


REPORT OF THE TOWN ACCOUNTANT


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:


Gentlemen:


In accordance with the requirements of Chapter 44 of the General Laws, I herewith submit the Town Accountant's Report for the year ending December 31, 1957.


It should be pointed out that since there was no State Audit of the Town's books during 1957, the State Audit Report is not available for publication.


Section A of the Report shows in detail the various items of revenue received by the Town for the year 1957.


Section B contains the total expenditures, listed by Depart- ments, and arranged, as far as possible, according to the segregated budgets as voted at the Annual Meeting of March 4, 1957.


Section C is comprised of the various financial statements necessary to reflect the financial condition of the Town.


The co-operation received from the various Departments dur- ing the year has been of great assistance to me and is very much appreciated.


Respectfully submitted,


PAUL F. SPENCER,


Town Accountant.
