At the watershed it was noted that 1,000 trees had been planted by the Boy Scouts, and the Commission suggested that, for the protection of natural resources, the clearing of dead brush and wood should be the first order of business.
The Commission was most impressed by the possibilities for development of the scenic qualities of the Herring Run
108
and the land surrounding it. It was noted that some clear- ing of brush had been done, and the Commission feels that more should be undertaken. We also urge that the towns- people consider the possibility of acquiring more land on the other side of the Brook.
In August, the Conservation Commission inspected the various areas under development by the Playground and Rec- reation Commission. Of particular interest was the section used by the Harwich Boy Scouts. The Scouts, under super- vision, have been clearing brush for camping purposes-and preserving worthwhile growth. The Conservation Commis- sion noted that in developing the 76 acre tract, the Recrea- tion Commission planned to keep the various sections divided by the natural growths of pine native to the Cape.
In discussing the land under the jurisdiction of the Park Department, observance was made of the efforts to date of clearing brush and the replanting at the East End of Long Pond and Brooks Park, as well as the day to day mainten- ance needed in these areas.
The Conservation Commission feels that there should be more cooperation between the Road Supervisor and the Tree Warden in order to preserve our present trees, when- ever possible, along town roads. Care should be taken when permits are issued for the moving of houses that a minimum of damage may be sustained by the trees along the way.
Most certainly, the townspeople should appreciate and use more fully the many beauty spots now existing in Har- wich. This includes such areas as the Herring Pool, the pic- nic areas in Brooks Park and the East End of Long Pond, and the Recreation Area. Pride in what we now have will lead to the protection and development of these sections in the future.
In September, Miss Sargent resigned as she was leaving town for the winter months. Mrs. Guy Putnam was appointed to take her place and was elected to serve as chairman.

Brooks Free Library Trustees' Report
Through money appropriated under Article 23 in the Town Meeting Warrant of 1958, the main library room has been completely repainted, and new rubber carpeting has been laid in the stacks and elsewhere as needed.
The work room and the stairway have also been repainted, and we hope to cover the stairs with the same rubber carpet- ing.
New lighting fixtures have replaced old ones in some cases.
A telephone has been installed which is proving of real value to our librarians.
Mrs. Earle L. Sims, a Trustee, continues to serve as Cape Cod representative on the Executive Board of the Massachu- setts Library Trustee Association.
Mrs. Virginia S. Doane, our librarian, has served as chair- man of a committee of the Cape Cod Library Club, investi- gating the possibilities of a regional reference center.
We cannot speak too highly of the work our librarians, Mrs. Virginia S. Doane and Mrs. Barbara B. Ford, are doing to constantly improve the standards and facilities of our library to better serve the town's people.

Librarian's Report
The year of 1958 has been a banner one for Brooks Library. While the library was closed for the painting of the main and work rooms, the librarian, with the assistance of Johnetta Harrigan, Elizabeth Cahoon, and Hazel Cornwell shelf listed the stock of the library. This process might be compared with stock taking in a retail establishment. Every book was removed from the shelves and checked for physical condition. At the same time, a card was made out for each volume. These cards are kept in the same order as the books on the shelves and are therefore a priceless continuing indi- cation of the book stock at all times. Quite a few books are temporarily out of the shelves awaiting repair during 1959. We feel that this work has made a material improvement in our library.
Both divisions of the 6th and 7th grades have come monthly to the library for instruction and experience in library usage.
111
The library is most grateful for the number of books and memorial books that have been added to our collection. We fell that, through these gifts, Brooks Library has a par- ticularly fine theatre collection that covers all phases of the art.

Report of the Town Counsel
To the Citizens of the Town of Harwich:
During the year 1958, I advised all department heads and elected officials of the Town from time to time. I met with all boards wherever requested and attempted to guide them from a legal standpoint.
At the present time, there are pending before the Super- ior Court six suits against the Town for assessment of dam- age. These are the result of the Town having made land takings by eminent domain against the litigants. Three result from road takings and three from actual land takings at Route 28 and Herring River. Two of the latter have been negotiated and will no doubt be settled in the near future. The third case must be tried and no doubt will be at this April session. As to the road taking cases, two may be nego- tiated and the third no doubt will be tried.
There is one tort suit against the Town, brought by a woman Summer visitor for injuries allegedly received when she fell on a sidewalk in Harwich Port. This case may be disposed of shortly in a satisfactory manner.
There are also pending six old age cases. These are a result of the recipients of old age assistance having died, the Town having placed a lien on their real estate previous to their decease. I am endeavoring to enforce these liens and collect whatever amounts I may be able for the benefit of the Town.
There is one case in Superior Court which is an appeal from the decision of the Board of Appeals. This case no doubt will be disposed of this Spring. There is another case in the Superior Court which has already been tried and concerning which a decree will be asked for, provided the case described above does not dispose of it when heard. This case must stand until such time as the case against the Board of Appeals is disposed of.

OSCAR J. CAHOON,

Report of the Board of Health
To the Citizens of the Town of Harwich:
At present the Town has two tuberculosis patients at the Barnstable County Hospital. We have had three at one time during the year. Financial assistance was given these patients during the year 1958.
During the year of 1958 there were two permature births reported to the Town, financial assistance was given in one case.
With the help of Dr. F. L. Moore, County Health Officer and Adelyn Peabody, Town Nurse, the Board of Health held a clinic at which time the last of the polio shots were given. There were two cases of Venereal diseases reported to the Board of Health, also seven cases of Rubella and four cases of measles during 1958.
We feel that our dump has improved in the last few years under the supervision of our Dump Custodian, James L. Smith.

Report of the Director of Civil Defense
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to the Citizens of the town of Harwich:
I hereby submit the annual report of the Department of Civil Defense for the year 1958.
World tensions being what they are it is important that we have a trained staff to man our control center and a corp of trained assistants. It is hoped that in 1959, we are able to train a number of persons to take over some of the numerous positions which will be required to be filled in the time of emergency.
I would like to point out that, the Massachusetts Civil Defense Act, Chapter 639, Acts of 1950 as amended creates the authority of Civil Defense action in the time of na- tional disaster. Section One of this Act specifically states, "Civil Defense shall mean the preparations for and carrying out of all emergency functions, other than functions for which military forces other than the National Guard are primarily responsible, for the purpose of minimizing and repairing injury and damage resultng from disaster caused by attack, sabotage or other hostile action or by fire, flood, earthquake, or other natural causes".
We hope that your Civil Defense Dept. may never be called on to act, but we should have a department ready and trained to act if needed.
Respectfuly submitted,
GEORGE C. BALDWIN, Director

Report of the Inspector of Wires
The following inspections were made for extensions of wiring, change-overs from 2 to 3 wire services, off peak hot water meters, new construction and contractors services in the town of Harwich for the year ending December 31, 1958.
In addition to these inspections there were many trips with electricians to look over prospective work and advise as to location of services and what was needed to comply with the code.
The majority of new homes erected this year had 100 Amp. services installed, also several older services were changed to take care of all the electrical appliances most every one are using.

Report of the Highway Surveyor
December 31, 1958
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen
and Citizens of the Town of Harwich:
I hereby submit my reports for the year 1958.
The work of the Highway Department consists of, patch- ing, oiling and resurfacing roads, installing catch basins and drains, cutting brush and erecting signs. This work must continue each year and will in order to keep the roads in good condition.
One of the most important factors in the development and prosperity of any town is its system of good roads and I feel much progress has been made in Harwich during the past few years.
This year I have rebuilt over three miles of roads and it is my intentions to continue this policy each year until all the roads in town become in A-1 condition. This is most es- sential due to the heavy traffic now using our highways.
As Harwich grows so does it's road system. The voters accept many new roads each year and this shows a steady growth of the Town. It certainly is a healthy sign.
I want to express my appreciation for the cooperation I have received during the year from the Board of Selectmen, Town Accountant, and all Department heads, and to the Highway personnel. I also want to express my appreciation to all citizens of the Town for their fine support and co- cperation.
Respectfully submitted,
ALTON P. HALL,
Surveyor of Highways

Progress is being made in the field of fire prevention. Fire prevention and fire protection in itself is usually not very glamorous. If a town does not have a fire there is not much fire news. If a fire department in a town does some- thing to prevent fires and save lives that might have been lost in fires-then the fire department is doing what should be done and still no newspaper stories.
Fire prevention is not a theoretical idea. On the contrary, it is intensely practised. Experience of community after com- munity demonstrates that the application of certain well es- tablished techniques will sharply reduce the number and severity of fires.
During the past few years a sharp reduction in fires has been the direct cause of an intensified inspection program. This year I am requesting an addition to our forces to carry on and increase a program in fire prevention. This addition will also reduce the working week to meet those of other de- partments within the town. Therefor 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 Cemetery Commissioners
"And the green grass grew all around and around, and the green grass grew all around." Ignorant as to the origin of these words, we feel they may well have been composed by a park commissioner.
