Report of the Shellfish Constable
Areas planted this year were Allen Harbor, Round Cove and Wychmere Harbor; all with mixed quahaugs. Round Cove is open at present and will be kept open until March 18, 1956, on Sundays only. There are plenty of oysters and qua- haugs there at the present time.
Allen Harbor, which was planted on the East side, will be opened on March 25, 1956, on Sundays only for oysters and quahaugs. We have planted 160 bushels of quahaugs there and they are in excellent condition.
There have been no clam areas open this winter due to the large set of clam spat. Digging this year would be harm- ful to our overall clam population.
The scallop season this year was a little better than in 1954, and will be a little better in 1956 than it was this year.
There is an excellent set of oyster spat in nearly all of the oyster areas. Pleasant Bay and Allen Harbor has a good set of quahaug spat.
There were plenty of shellfish this year for everyone who went after them, and they will be just as plentiful in 1956. Shellfishing is a good way to supplement your budget, and enjoy some good healthy recreation at the same time.
Again I wish to extend my thanks for your cooperation along the shores. I believe everyone realizes today the im- portance of our shellfish rules and regulations. Without these rules and regulations our shellfish would soon disappear.

Report of Committee on Town Manager Form of Government to the Voters of the Town of Harwich
The committeee appointed by the Town Moderator in accordance with the vote of the 1955 Town Meeting requests that it be granted further time in which to pursue its studies and to arrive at its recommendations.
During the past year members of the committee have written a series of preliminary reports which have been pub- lished in the three local newspapers intended to acquaint the public with the progress of the studies and to arouse general interest; also, to acquaint the members of the Board of Selectmen and Assessors, and other elected and appointed Town employees with specific items which some of the voters feel have not been handled as efficiently and economically as they have a right to expect.
Your committee feels that there is room for improve- ments, and that there may be definite evidences of improve- ment in the 1956 administration of the Town affairs, but the committee will need another year in which to carefully and fairly arrive at its conclusions and to make proper recom- mendations for consideration and action at the 1957 Town Meeting.

Report of the Town Dump Study Committee
The Committee which was appointed in accordance with the vote on Article 69 of the annual meeting in February, 1955, viz., "to investigate the possibilities of relocating the present town dump" has given careful consideration to the matter and herewith submit its report.
The original petition submitted for inclusion in the Town Warrant, gave no reason whatever for the request and we cannot find that any complaint in reference to present location has been registered in the Selectmen's office.
A statement was made by some one to the effect that seepage from the dump had polluted the waters of Herring River but a test of the waters by Dr. F. L. Moore (County Health Officer) showed no evidence of pollution.
A line drawn east and west through the present location, shows that the only direction the dump could move would be north of this line which would place it in the area of North Harwich, Pleasant Lake and East Harwich and a care- ful study of these areas shows no depressions or valleys suit- able for waste disposal and if located anywhere in this area large sections of territory would have to be de-forested and grubed off, and access roads built, all of which would entail a large expenditure of money which, in our opinion, would not be warranted and in addition would be much too far away from the center of population.
We, therefor, have reached the conclusion that the whole proposition is neither warranted, practical nor economical and recommend that no further action be taken.
Care and Maintenance of the Present Dump
While perhaps not part of our assignment, our investi- gations have led us to the conclusion that there is much to be desired in the care and upkeep of the present dump and we therefore present the following suggestions for improving present conditions.
Whether or not the care of the dump should be let out by contract may be open to question but we believe that a caretaker should be on duty eight hours a day, seven days a week; he should be an intelligent, able-bodied man with authority to enforce all regulations for operation of the dump promulgated by the Selectmen.
69
The Selectmen should prepare a set of rules and regu- lations regarding the operations not only at the dump but also pertaining to the transporting of all waste material through the streets of the Town.
All bulky, incombustible material that will not readily assimilate as fill should be prohibited. (This has reference at the present to automobile bodies and trunks of trees with roots) unless a permit has been obtained from the Selectmen.
These are only a few suggestions that occur to us in our investigations and we suggest that the Selectmen, assisted by three or four civic minded citizens, draw up a full set of regulations covering the entire matter.
The rubbish on the east side of Lothrop Ave. opposite the dump should be cleaned up at once.
The following suggestions we consider important but as they entail the expenditure of public funds would have to be approved at the annual town meeting.
1. A suitable building should be provided for the caretaker, approximately fifteen feet square for an office, with a lavatory and running water, and a storage room for ne- cessary tools. This building to be heated during cold weather.
2. A substantial wire link fence eight feet high to be erected along the dump area bordering Lothrop Avenue.
3. A row of hardy, quick growing shrubs such as privet or forsythia to be planted on the outside of the fence along Lothrop Avenue to eventually screen the dump.
Estimates of the cost of these improvements should be obtained to be included in an article in the warrant for the next annual town meeting.

Brooks Free Library Trustees' Report
The service of Brooks Free Library is growing and ad- vancing under the leadership of our Librarians, Mrs. Virginia S. Doane and Mrs. Barbara B. Ford. High School girls assist at the desk and in shelving books, and Mrs. Eric Barnes is an adult assistant.
The Librarian's report is included below.
A new card file has been purchased which is sufficiently large to take care of present and future needs for some time.
The Trustees are members of the Massachusetts Library Trustees Association, and one member of the board is en- rolled in the Home Study Course for Library Trustees given by the University of Chicago.
Necessary repairs have been done, and the exterior of Brooks Block has been scraped and given a first coat of paint in preparation for a complete painting job which we hope to have done in 1956. The Main Court Room has been com- pletely re-decorated.
The Harwich Historical Society continues to use a room on the second floor.

Substantial gains in circulation have been made in 1955, with phonograph record distribution increasing over 100%. A particularly popular spot has been the Fine Arts Alcove which contains not only an excellent selection of recordings, but some fine books on music, dancing, sculpture and painting. In addition, we have been given the complete scores of sev- eral operas.
Deposits of books in each room of the Elementary School have been made monthly. This practice continues to build up interest in the Library among the youngsters. Classes from the 6th and 7th grades have arrived weekly at the Library for instruction, reference work, and general browsing.
We have been particularly fortunate this past year in being the recipient of many lovely gift books. These do- nations include beautiful new editions of old and beloved classics, books published in England, and much non-fiction which has helped to round out our sections on economics, foreign languages, philosophy, and psychology. Through the kindness of the Harwich Junior Theatre we have an interest- ing collection of plays for children.
It is ever a pleasure to serve such enthusiastic patrons, and Harwich may well be proud that it is a "reading" town.

Report of the Committee on Fluoridation Of the Harwich Water Supply
To the Board of Health
Harwich, Massachusetts
This committee was appointed by you as authorized by a vote on Article 64 adopted at the regular Town Meeting February 16, 1955. We were directed to investigate the merits of fluoridation of the Harwich Town Water Supply.
We have looked into the historical aspects of this pro- posal. The subject has been under investigation since before the beginning of this century and water supplies have been found in this country which contain as high as eight (8) parts per million (P.P.M.) of natural fluorine. Commencing in 1945, seven cities in the United States have added fluorine salts to their public water supplies to bring the fluorine con- tent up to approximately one (1) P.P.M. This was on an ex- perimental basis. We have examined the records on dental decay among the school children in one of these cities( New- burgh, N. Y.) after ten years experience of fluoridation.
We have investigated dental records of the Harwich School children and have noted the high rate of dental caries they have experienced. It is estimated that by the time the average child has reached the age of 16 years, repair of dental decay will have cost at least $150.00 or approximately $10.00 per year. We note that the Town of Harwich is cur- rently spending approximately $1,500.00 per year on dental clinics.
We have reliable information that over three million (3,000,000) people in the United States have all their lives used water which contains more than one P.P.M. of fluorine. In addition, at the present time more than twenty million (20,000,000) people in over eleven hundred (1100) commun- ities are now using fluoridated water.
We have recognized the controversial aspects of this sub- ject and have considered the scientific standing of organiz- ations favoring fluoridation as well as that of several op- ponents. We have investigated the legal aspects and have noted favorable action by the Supreme Courts in California,
73
Louisiana and Oklahoma. We have also noted the fact that the United States Supreme Court has refused to review the above mentioned favorable findings.
We have investigated the cost of installation of proper, equipment for fluoridation of the water in the Town. The amount of fluoridation in the water supply in the Town of Harwich is found to be about one-tenth (1/10) P.P.M.
SUMMARY AND FINDINGS
1. The fluoridation of public water supplies as a public health measure has been as thoroughly investigated as any public health measure ever proposed.
2. The overwhelming weight of dental, medical and other scientific opinion in the United States confirms fluor- idation of public water supplies as a safe and economic way of reducing dental caries by at least one half.
3. The committee has found no competent evidence in conflict with this overwhelming weight of scientific opinion.
4. We estimate that the cost of proper equipment for fluoridation of water in the Town of Harwich will be approx- imately $3,000.00. The Fluorine material for one year would cost about $300.00.
5. Fluoridation of water supplies is not a substitute for dental care, but fluoridation achieves a substantial reduction in dental caries unobtainable by other means.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Your Committee strongly and unanimously recommends fluoridation of the Harwich Water Supply as a desirable pub- lic health measure.
In order that all of the voters of the Town of Harwich may voice their opinion, it is recommended that at the regu- lar Town election to be held in 1957, the matter of fluorida- tion of the water supply for the Town of Harwich be placed on the official ballot.

The celebration of this past year may be recorded as the largest attended of any in the past as an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 persons enjoyed the festivities. An enjoyable ball game was played between two Harwich teams of the Little League under the direction of Jim Baldwin.
A fine and delicious lobster bake also held at Brooks Park was a complete sell-out of 325 tickets, with more re- quested. Sponsored jointly by the Harwich Fire and Police Associations with Roger Munsey serving as bakemaster.
Both the Fire and Police Departments have been ex- tended recognition for the fine job each did during and after the celebration in their alertness to prevent accidents and assist in the safety of such a large number of persons.
Much time and labor was contributed by many without compensation to make this past celebration one of record in our town.
Your committee of this year learned much in preparation for this event to enable the committee of 1956 to prepare for one more enjoyable than the last.
