Report of the Insect Pest Control and Tree Warden Departments
This was a good year for the shade trees, the best since the Cape started having hurricanes a few years ago. Many of the trees although in bad condition are at least showing some signs of recovery from the heavy wind damage received year after year.
The small trees set out by the town each year put out more new growth this year, and now appear to be well estab- lished. We now have approximately four hundred of these trees which are mostly Norway Maples. These trees are fertil- ized, and cared for every year.
Fourteen dead trees were removed from the roadsides. This number is eleven less than last year and this shows some improvement. Most of these trees were pine, killed by hur- ricane winds, and pine borer.
Twenty-nine new trees were set out along town roads as follows: West Harwich 2, North Harwich 2, East Harwich 2, Pleasant Lake 3, Harwich Center 9, Harwichport 11. One Sugar Maple was used to replace one that had been killed by mice.
This year the number of Tent Caterpillars for once were on the decrease. Japanese Beetles, Pine Tip Worms, Earwigs and most all leaf eating insects remained about the same as last year. There was a large pine defoliation in Pleasant Lake and the East Harwich area caused by the Pine Saw Fly Worm, a fairly new pest in town. We can expect to find these worms all over the town next year.
Thirty-five gypsy moth traps were set and maintained during July and August. These traps were placed all over the town, and had to be visited three and four times during the week. Sixty-one moths were caught as compared with eleven last year. Most of these moths were caught near the Harwich-Brewster line in Pleasant Lake, and could give us plenty of trouble next year.
The Dutch Elm Disease is still a serious threat to our elm trees. These large trees neglected down through the years are a easy victim of this most dreaded of all tree diseases. Sample wood was taken from twenty-four elms and sent to the Shade Tree Laboratories for culturing. It was discov-
82
ered that ten of these trees had this disease and would have to be removed. Several of the trees are on private property, and two have been taken down by the owners. My depart- ment with limited funds is doing everything possible to save these trees that in a few years will be a tree of the past.

Brooks Free Library Trustees' Report
The Trustees are very happy to report the gift to the Library in June of $1,200 by Mrs. Howard Mitchell, in memory of her husband, a former resident of Harwich. The money, whch is to be known as the Howard Mitchell Fund, has been invested; and the income only is to be used for the purchase of non-fiction books. This gift, and the thought which prompted it, are greatly appreciated by Trustees and towns- people alike.
This year the stairway and upper hall floor of Brooks Block have been covered with a rubber carpeting, and addi- tional lights have been installed in the upper hallway.
Two of the Trustees, Mrs. Sims and Mr. LeClair, attended the annual meeting of the Mass. Library Trustees Association, held in Sturbridge in October.
Our librarians, Mrs. Virginia S. Doane and Mrs. Barbara B. Ford, are constantly working to improve the standards of our library; and it is hoped, because of increased patronage, to open the library more hours each week in 1960.

Librarian's Report
It is very pleasing to report that Brooks Free Library has enjoyed another substantial increase in circulation during the past year. Intensive work with children and young people has accounted for a large percentage of this increase. The classes of the 6th and 7th grades have visited monthly to study library usage, and in addition, small deposits of books have been left in the Elementary School rooms. During Book Week, the librarian visited all the classes at that School to show new books and distribute book marks. Patricia Ford has conducted several story hours at the library on Saturdays for the younger set. These have been most happy times for the youngsters-particularly at Christmas when Santa's helper was on hand to present some candy canes to the listeners.
As people have become increasingly aware of the educa- tional needs that are satisfied by the public library, more interest has been generated in regional libraries. A survey to determine the desires of the Cape libraries in regard to a Bookmobile for this area, was conducted by the Cape Cod
86
Library Club this past year. All the library boards and li- brarians in Harwich, Brewster, Sandwich, and Nantucket favored such a project, but interest among some of the library officials from other towns was lacking. This proposal was therefore tabled for the time being.
National Library Week was highlighted in Harwich by an "Oldest Book in Harwich" Contest. All three libraries in town cooperated to make the Contest a great success, as more than 100 elderly books were entered for competition. Miss Kath- erine Rand was chairman for the celebration which culmin- ated in a Book Night with exhibits by the school and town libraries and other organizations, and a speaker from Wor- cester, Mrs. Betty Nelson.

Report of the Shellfish Warden
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Harwich:
This is the fourth year of the cooperative scientific shell- fish program between the Department of Marine Fisheries and the Town of Harwich. The records which have been kept in this program have been sent to the Department of Marine Fisheries for analysis and will be invaluable to the future propagation and growth of our shellfish.
263 bushels of quahogs were planted at Allens Harbor and Round Cove last Spring. Allens Harbor was opened for quahogs the first of December. Round Cove has been in- spected for bacteria by the State Department of Public Health and will be opened for the taking of quahogs and oysters as soon as we receive their report. Controlled areas such as Round Cove should be open for shellfishing only one day a week so that quantity control can be kept on these small areas. Sunday seems to be the best day for everyone. Some Sundays over one hundred limits are taken from the small area of Round Cove.
Oysters are in fair supply, some of which will be avail- able when Round Cove is opened.
The scallop crop was poor again this year and is not ex- pected to be too much better in 1960.
A word about rules and regulations. They are printed on the reverse side of all Shellfish Permits. I wish to call attention to Regulation #14-"Commercial fishing not al- lowed upon the shore line of Round Cove, Allens Harbor, Wychmere Harbor or Stoney Flat." This regulation protects the family digger from the shellfish being taken in these areas for commercial purposes and assures him of plenty of shellfish for family use. Shellfish is plentiful in deep water for commercial fishing and should be taken advantage of so that this very important natural resource will not be wasted. Pleasant Bay has always been a good commercial area.

I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Heads of the various Town Departments, the members of the Police De- partment and the Citizens of the town for their cooperation during this year. It is only through complete cooperation that your Police Department can furnish the town with good Police Services.
It was my good fortune this year, through the generosity of the Board of Selectmen to attend the FBI school on Police Administration. The School was held in Boston and attended by Chiefs of Police from all the New England States.
I felt that I gained a great deal from this and trust that I will be able to incorporate many of the things that I learned into the Harwich Police Department to the benefit of the town.

Multi-Purpose Community Building and Civic Center Committee
Under Article No. 60 of the town meeting of 1959, a com- mittee was appointed by the moderator to investigate the possibilities of a Multi-Purpose Community Building. These members were Forrest A. Eaton, Margaret S. Leonard, Archie F. Bullock, Charles J. Stuart, who later resigned, and Virginia S. Doane. An organizational meeting was held on March 19th at the town offices, at which time Mr. Eaton was elected Chairman and Mrs. Doane, Secretary. Monthly meetings were scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of each month.
The Committee first considered possible sites with ade- quate amounts of land that would be available to take care of future community needs of the town of Harwich. The discussion of the article at town meeting indicated that it was the wish of the townspeople that this Committee explore the possibilities of a Civic Center and the ramifications of such planning. With this in mind, and looking for the geographical center of the town, the area north of Brooks Park seemed, to the Committee, to represent the best section for such development.
It was decided to engage the services of Alger & Gunn, Architects, of Hyannis to aid the Committee in obtaining and presenting pertinent informaton for study of a possible Civic Center. Many meetings and conferences were held in order to cover as many aspects of the planning as possible. The final conclusions and recommendations will be made in pam- phlet form to the voters prior to town meeting.
We are most grateful for the cooperation we have re- ceived from town officials and other committees and com- missions. Many have contributed their time and thinking in the planning of what we hope will be an acceptable blueprint for the future development of a Civic Center.

Report of the Barnstable County Health Department
Town of Harwich, Mass.
Records in this office of cases of reportable communicable diseases occurring during the year have not shown any major outbreaks during the year. There were two cases of paralytic poliomyelitis reported, both cases being over 20 years of age. Since this disease is commonly more prevalent during child- hood, we may assume that the high protection by means of vaccine among the younger age groups was, at least in some part, responsible for this record.
The report of the survey on Health Needs in Barnstable County has been distributed to all Boards of Health in this county. Through the courtesy of the Editor of the Cape Cod Standard Times, this report was published in full by that newspaper. A long range program of development is contained in the recommendations of the survey team. This department has already carried out some of the recommendations, and efforts will be made to implement others.
Staff of the Department as of December 31, 1959:
