Last spring bids were received for the "Housing for the Elderly of Low Income" project in Scituate and on July 5, 1960, a contract was signed with the G. W. Car- penter Company of Fall River.
A Ground-breaking Ceremony took place on July 18, 1960 to which special guests were invited and local and State officials took part.
The buildings are taking shape and may be seen as one drives out of North Scituate village toward Cohasset on Country Way. It can truly be said that this is one of the most beautiful developments in Scituate.
Applications are being received and it appears that there will be no vacancies.
The work will be completed this spring and happiness will reign among our Senior Citizens and its Housing Authority.
To be eligible for this housing, a person must meet the following requirements:
1. A person must be 65 years of age or over (single individuals living alone or couples are eligible) .
2. A person must be a citizen of the United States (except an alien who has served in the Armed Forces of the United States and who has been honorably discharged and provided application has been made for citizenship and aliens eligible to re- ceive Old Age Assistance.)
3. A person must be of low income. In general the annual income of a single individual not to exceed $2500, and the annual income of a couple not to exceed $3000.
4. A person must be in need of good housing.
Dwellings are planned for single and double occu- pancy. Dwellings for two persons may be occupied by the following combinations :

REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER
REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER
Board of Selectmen
Scituate, Mass.
I hereby submit a resume of my activities for the year 1960.
On duty at Town Pier to assist and advise yachtsmen and boat owners-full time (on call 24 hours daily)
Patrolled harbor, in my own boat, 95 hours.
Aided Red Cross Swimming Class.
Investigated twelve cases of vandalism and theft, seven collisions and five sunken vessels.
Recovered seven out of ten stolen skiffs or rowboats.
Inspected 86 new moorings and supervised their placement in the harbor.
Settled six mooring disputes at the South River.
Went to Marblehead to recover a settee stolen from our pier.
Assisted 577 visiting yachtsmen, 52 transient fishing vessels and eight boats in distres.
Recued two children in water.
Allowed Plymouth fishing fleet to use harbor for winter months.
Directed loading and unloading of fishing party boats and other commercial vessels using public facilities.
Placed town floats and gangways in spring, main- tained them during the boating season and supervised their removal in the fall.
Maintained log of vessels using harbor facilities along with charts and mooring records.
Conferred daily with Coast Guard Station checking on identity of overdue craft and owners.
152
REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER
Maintained Harbor Master's Office and Town Pier, arranged for removal of rubbish, garbage, etc. from Town Pier and Cole Parkway.
Initiated action and aided U.S. Army Corps of En- gineers to locate submerged rock in inner basin which is a hazard to navigation.
Attended meetings with the State Division of Water- ways and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding the relocation of channel buoys.
Met with the State Registrar of Motor Boats on new laws requiring State numbering of all power boats and regulations pertaining thereto.
Prepared and forwarded a detailed report on use of the harbor to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to be used for obtaining federal aid for harbor improvements in Scituate-this report is used in Congress for annual ap- propriations.
For the past five years I have had to use my own boat to fulfill my duties as Harbor Master. All other town departments are supplied with the vehicles needed to carry out their various functions and I feel that it is unfair to request the Harbor Master to supply his own boat.
In September, Scituate was hit by Hurricane Donna and the boat owners who use Scituate Harbor should feel fortunate that there was little loss in this harbor from this destructive blow. Many other ports in this area suffered considerable damage-one example is Marblehead where two-hundred boats were totally destroyed.
My thanks to Chief Lucas and his men of the Scituate Coast Guard Station for their fine cooperation and help throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK G. MCCARTHY Harbor Master

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
To the Citizens of Scituate:
Between blizzards, I am taking this time to make out a brief resume of the activities of the Highway Depart- ment for the year 1960.
The past year has been a busy one despite the lack of proper equipment. We now have to depend on our local contractors to rent us equipment at their convenience and during the summer months, they have their own contracts to complete. This to me, does not seem to be the most economical way to run any department. This situation has been brought to the attention of the Advisory Committee for several years and the excuse has always been the School Problem of which I am aware and which to my way thinking will be with us for many years. As you know, we asked for a power digger and front end loader for three consecutive years to replace the loader which was purchased second hand thirteen years ago. This was never approved by the Advisory Committee and so never favor- ably voted.
However, I feel that we have accomplished many worthwhile projects. We have resurfaced approximately 31/2 miles of streets and I feel, and I am in a position to know, that we have the best highway system of any town in Plymouth County at the least cost on your tax dollar. Three-fourths of a mile of sidewalks were built, over four thousand feet of new drainage systems were constructed and thirty new catch basins were installed. The drainage problem still seems to be our main concern. Over twenty- five miles of our highways have been surface treated dur- ing the past year and over seven hundred gallons of traf- fic paint were used to paint traffic lines and we still have more requests which we were not able to fulfill.
Under special articles, Porter Road and Fifth Avenue were completed according to plans. The parking area at the Library was completed but was delayed on account of hidden drainage and sewerage problems. The Jericho Road parking area was brought to proper grade, pene- trated and seal coated and white lines will be painted in
160
REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
the Spring. The Tilden Road sidewalk was finally com- pleted after many delays due to the lack of proper equip- ment and the inability to hire same. Curtis and Nelson Roads were not completed due to the fact that the Water Department is planning to install water mains in the Spring. Work will be started as soon as this is completed and weather permits.
As you remember, we were visited by "Donna" on September 12 and I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank all the men who took part in the cleanup during this emergency.
On December 12, we had our first heavy snowstorm. Although partially prepared, we had many favorable comments on our snow removal program. At this writing, we have had two more major storms and we still have six weeks to go until Spring. It is impossible for me at this time to estimate what the cost of 1961 snow removal will be. However, the cost of snow removal compares favor- ably with any town in Plymouth County.
Glades Road has gone again and will be a serious problem in the Spring. How thankful we are that we did not put a Type I surface on this section despite the de- mands of the Glades Road residents as it would have been money washed away.
In conclusion, we would like to thank all our snow plow operators, our hired plows, our private contractors and all who were concerned in the operation of our De- partment and also all Departments of the Town for their fine co-operation.
Sincerely yours,
MATTHEW L. BROWN Highway Surveyor

REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
The report of the Fire Department for the year 1960 is herewith submitted for your approval.
During the year just past the department answered a total of 868 emergency calls. First aid calls totaled 276, an increase of 64% over the previous year. There were only 53 bell alarms, of which 24 were false.
The new aerial ladder truck was delivered to the town in late December and is in commission at Station No. 3 on Chief Justice Cushing Highway.
The first aid truck is now fifteen years old and should be replaced next year. All other apparatus is currently in good repair and should serve the needs of the department for some years.
Provision has been made in the budget submitted to the advisory committee for the addition of three men at the Humarock fire station (Station 2) in order to increase the complement to two men per shift.
We are grateful for the co-operation of all depart- ments, officials and citizens.
Respectfully submitted,
BARTHOLOMEW A. CURRAN, Chief of Department.
162
REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE FOREST FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :-
The report of the Forest Fire Department for the year 1960 follows :-
The incidence of grass and woods fires continues to decrease each year as the subdivision of the town in- creases. There were comparatively few fires of serious moment during the year just past.
The burning over of grass lands is, we think a very considerable factor in preventing and controlling the grass fires which could be of a serious nature. The co- operation of the townspeople in the observance of the open air fire permit laws has been very helpful.
The equipment of the department is adequate and in good repair, requiring only normal maintenance.
The department enjoyed very amicable relations with all other departments, officials and fellow citizens; for which we are very grateful.
Respectfully submitted,
BARTHOLOMEW A. CURRAN Forest Warden

To the Board of Selectmen
Town Hall
Scituate, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit my report as Supervisor of Veterans' Graves in the Town of Scituate for the year 1960.
All cemeteries have been inspected from time to time and all veterans' graves have been found to be in good condition.
I would once again like to remind all caretakers that they must report to me in writing whenever a Veteran is interred in their cemetery.
My sincere thanks to all who have assisted me in my efforts.
Respectfully submitted,
ELMER F. RAMSDELL, Supervisor Care of Veterans' Graves

REPORT OF THE ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
REPORT OF THE ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Board of Selectmen Scituate, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The year 1960 saw continued growth of the Allen Memorial Library with the circulation of books and maga- zines increasing to a total of 92,000.
The area, formerly occupied by Union Hall and housing the Police Station, was cleared, graded, black- topped, and landscaped, and we now have a most satis- factory parking lot for library use. No parking is allowed in front of the library, either on First Parish Road or Stockbridge Road.
A survey, conducted by Mr. Metcalf during the sum- mer months and authorized by the 1960 Town Meeting, advised the expansion of our library facilities. An earlier proposal to build a regional library to serve Scituate and three other towns was cancelled by the state. An alter- nate plan to join with a regional library in Quincy did not offer a solution to our problems.
With the parking now available, it would seem wise to enlarge the present library by acquiring adjacent prop- erty. If this were done, a sizeable children's wing could be added, as well as a wing housing an adult reference room.
It is with regret that we announce the imminent re- tirement of Mrs. Lillian Finnie, our head librarian. Dur- ing her administration, the greatest growth in our library took place. The circulation rose from 8000 to 92,000, while the physical plant and library procedures under- went exhaustive changes. We are grateful to Mrs. Finnie for her many years of faithful service.
The Association is indebted to many persons for their efforts in behalf of the library. It is impossible to give individual recognition, but we can acknowledge the helpful interest of such groups as the P. M. Club, the League of Women Voters, and the Girl Scouts of America.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT H. TILDEN, President.
165
REPORT OF THE PEIRCE MEMORIAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE PEIRCE MEMORIAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
The Trustees of the Peirce Memorial Library submit this annual report for the year 1960.
We wish to thank the many people who showed their interest in the Library by donating books or magazines, by helping in the decoration of the interior, and in the land- scaping of the grounds.
In June we were deeply saddened when our library association president, Mr. Howard Pierce, passed away.
In August, Mrs. Sarah H. Knowles announced her re- tirement after thirty years of devoted, tireless work. Over the years she had organized many story hours for the chil- dren, and the children's room, added recently, was inspired by her delight in having the youngsters reading library books.
On the evening of August 17 the Library Association held open house, and a reception, so that her many friends could say, "Thank you" for her years of devotion to the library. Over 150 were present to see her receive a token of our esteem.
On September 1, Mrs. Robert Fletcher was appointed Librarian. Under her able guidance we believe the library will grow, and provide up-to-date service to the town. The books are being culled, preparatory to re-cataloguing and changing to the Dewey Decimal System, a method of clas- sification used in all libraries; we believe the children should be trained in its use before going on to advanced schooling.
We are in need of a work-room where the staff can repair damaged books and catalogue new ones-work that is now done at the desk, or in a storage closet. This work- room could also be used at mealtime by the staff, as the only space now available is an unheated cellar entry.
The Librarian and her staff are always happy to assist anyone in need of reference material, or reading for en- tertainment. We invite the community to use the Peirce Memorial Library.
Respectfully submitted, STURGIS EVANS
