The Town Dump has continued this year under the super- vision of James L. Smith. A system of ramps is being con- structed to assure users of easy and safe disposition of their trash.
The Town has aided several tuberculosis patients at the County Hospital. With the cooperation of Dr. F. L. Moore, County Health Officer and Miss Adelyn Peabody, Town Nurse, the Board of Health organized clinics at which Town em- ployees were given Asiatic flu immunization shots. Polio clin- ics for the 20-40 age group were also set up and are to con- tinue until the third inoculations are completed.

Report of Town Government Study Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Harwich:
As a result of affirmative action by voters of the Town of Harwich on Article 70 of the Annual Town Meeting War- rant for 1957, the Harwich Town Government Study Com- mittee was appointed by Town Moderator Alan T. Hunt.
The first meeting of the Government Study Committee was held at the Town Office Building on May 20, 1957, for the purpose of organizing and electing a chairman, vice- chairman, and secretary. At this meeting Attorney Hunt out- lined the scope and powers of the committee as he interpreted them by the vote on Article 70.
Since that first meeting the committee has met almost every week, and sometimes as often as twice weekly. At the very outset, it was the general concensus that the committee's approach to the various problems involving the town govern- ment should be of a constructive nature and that the co- operation of town officials and department heads could best be realized by utilizing this constructive approach.
Chief objective of the committee is to make a study of each town department in the hopes of bringing about in- creased efficiency, better coordination, and better working relationships between departments.
The committee has emphasized that it needs the co- operation of town personnel and the townspeople. It has ex- tended an invitation to anyone within the town, who has genuine constructive criticism, suggestions, or information that would aid the committee, to offer it to the committee with the assurance that their name will be kept in strict confidence if they so wish.
The first project undertaken by the committee was an investigation of the controversial question of the failure of the Board of Selectmen to re-appoint the Chief of Police.
This investigation was undertaken with some reluctance on the part of the committee, and only after considerable discussion at which most of the committee members felt that the voters who had approved the formation of the committee, would expect the committee to make such an investigation.
The results of the committee's investigation and the opin- ion rendered, which was made public at the time through the medium of the press, was as follows:
89
After a very lengthy investigation of the Police Depart- ment and the reasons for not reappointing the former Police Chief, this committee has decided that the action taken by the majority of your Board of Selectmen in the appointment of a new Police Chief was justified. However, the committee also strongly feels that the Boards of Selectmen, past and present, have neglected to fulfill the duties empowered to them.
It is apparent that once appointments are made there is no check on these varied appointive officers to see if the departments are being run properly. These department heads are left to run their departments at their own discretion.
If it were the practice of your Boards of Selectmen to keep a constant check on all appointive departments, the em- barrassment suffered by the Town of Harwich due to this police controversy need not have happened.
We, as an entire group, feel that this should be considered an obligation of each one of the selectmen.
This report of the committee was signed by all seven committee members.
The next step of the committee was to conduct a study of the operation of the Fire Department. As a result of that study the committee issued the following report:
After a thorough investigation of the Fire Department in the Town of Harwich, your Town Government Study Com- mittee is very pleased to be able to report that in its opinion the town should be exceptionally proud of this department.
The committee found the morale of department personnel to be high, the equipment kept in good condition, and the records very efficient.
It is the committee's hope that more of the taxpayers of the town will take the opportunity of visiting their Fire Sta- tion and looking over the equipment.
This report was also released for publication at the time it was rendered. It was signed by six members of the com- mittee, the seventh member being away on vacation at the time.
A preliminary study was undertaken of the office of the Town Accountant. Although the committee plans further study of this department it wishes at this time to commend Douglas Sawyer for his efficiency and his devotion to his job. One recommendation that the Government Study Committee would like to make at this time is that a suitable safe be provided for the Town Accountant to store his ledgers and other vital records in.
90
In the course of its study of the police department it was learned that it had been the practice to allow special officers to go on duty without reporting to the station. As a result, for the protection of both the town and the police officer, it was recommended that in the future all special officers, and regular officers when on special duty, be logged on and off duty.
It was felt by the committee that if these officers were not officially logged on duty, and an accident occurred to them while on special duty, they might be ineligible for com- pensation. It was also felt that the town might be open to suit in the event that such an officer, in the line of duty, injured someone else, and there was no official record indi- cating he had been assigned to the specific duty he was on at the time of the mishap.
As a result of these recommendations, made to the Chief of Police, Chief George C. Baldwin informed the committee that the recommendations had been put into effect.
Also in the course of its studies of the police and fire departments the committee discovered certain inequities in the way of pay and work hours of personnel in these depart- ments.
This resulted in the committee's decision to look into the possibility of some type of job classification and com- pensation survey. The committee secretary wrote to the Di- rector of the Bureau of Government Research at the Uni- versity of Massachusetts and received the names of two firms within the state who were qualified to make such a survey. Both firms were contacted and supplied the committee with the information regarding the scope of such a survey and the cost.
The committee has inserted in the warrant for the forth- coming Annual Town Meeting, an article which will give voters an opportunity to vote on the question of whether such a survey should be made. Your Town Government Study Committee is unanimous in urging voters to seriously con- sider this project.
Another article which the committee has submitted for the consideration of voters is one which, if adopted, would require Selectmen to appoint all appointive officers of the town on or before January 15 of each year.
The committee feels that this would take some of the "politics" out of appointments and would eliminate a recur- rence of what happened last spring as a result of the contro- versy over the appointment of the Police Chief.
91
The committee is also requesting an appropriation of $160 for the purchase of a tape recorder. During the past year it has been necessary to attempt to get information that has come to the committee, much of it in the form of personal interviews, down in longhand. This has been a tedi- ous task and much important information has been missed. Committee members feel that if they are to do a thorough job they must have some means of getting this information so that it can be transcribed into a permanent record. This seemed to be the simplest and least expensive method of making such a record.
Other articles which have been submitted by the com- mittee for voter consideration include one to instruct the Selectmen to list individually all unpaid bills, the amount of each bill, and the department responsible for each unpaid bill; an article to change the item in the annual budget which reads "Surveys and Maps" to read "Assessors Maps" and in- structing each department desiring the services of a surveyor to insert a sum of money in its annual budget to cover the cost of such surveys; and an article which, if adopted, would require the Board of Finance to print a brief explanation of its recommendation beneath each article in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant.
Your Town Government Study Committee has not yet been in existence one full year. In the short time it has been in existence it has covered considerable ground, but there is much more yet to be done. As a new committee it has been "feeling its way" in its effort to bring about better and more efficient government to the Town of Harwich.
The cooperation of town officials and townspeople is again solicited by the committee so that it can better serve the voters and the taxpayers of Harwich.

The fire service as it is today is a forerunner of the more complex service which will be required to cope with the prob- lems of tomorrow.
Banding together, we form a capable and conscientious fire fighting force for the town. We are therefore concerned with the efficiency and type of equipment which we have. This efficiency is a direct challenge, not only to everyone connected with the fire service, but to all who are interested in reducing the tragic loss of life and property due to fire.
This year I am requesting the approval of a Gas Code for the town. This is one of the many problems we face in the
96 ,
protection of life and property. At the present time we have no jurisdiction over any natural gas installation, but with the adoption of a gas code I feel we will eliminate hazards which have brought disaster to our community in the past. It is my feeling that where the safety of the public is concerned any hazard should be investigated and properly controlled by town ordinance. Therefore, I am asking that you give your serious consideration to this matter.
I wish to thank all the men and dispatchers of the de- partment for their cooperation and donation of time during the past year; to the members and Chiefs of other towns and to the citizens for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES A. HALL Chief of Department

Report of the Highway Surveyor
January 2, 1958
To the Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens of the Town of Harwich:
1
I hereby submit my reports for the year of 1957.
The Highway Department has completed the usual amount of patching and the maintenance work it does each year. This type of work maintains the good condition of the roads. Brush was mowed during the Spring and Fall. The work of patching, maintenance is continued throughout the year.
Your Highway Department has had more than its usual quota of work and I hope that it has been satisfactorily ac- complished, as this has been my major intention, as it always has been, in carrying out the work of keeping our streets in good condition. The Town of Harwich now has approximately 100 miles of public roads to maintain and each year more roads are accepted, adding to this mileage.
Drainage is becoming more of a problem as new con- struction is increasing rapidly. More catch basins were in- stalled this year to help solve the drainage situation. :
The Highway Department Building is in good condition, having received a new coat of paint during the year.
The machinery is in good condition and we have tried to keep it that way. This year in the Town Warrant I am asking for a new Belt Conveyor which I feel the Town should purchase at this time. This would save the Town money by purchasing at this time. The present one we have is now 15 years old.
I wish to express my appreciation for the co-operation I have received during the year from the Board of Selectmen, all Department heads, and to the Highway Department per- sonnel. I also want to express my appreciation to all the Townspeople of Harwich for their continued support, and fine co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
ALTON P. HALL,
Surveyor of Highways
