Report of Assessors' Survey, 1934


In continuing the work of surveying and mapping the town, we are pleased to report that we accomplished con- siderable on the 1934 appropriation.


We started the work this year at the Wellfleet-Eastham town line, surveying the area west from the railroad to the Cape Cod Bay shore and south as far as Kingsbury Road. The area surveyed and plotted on sheets numbered five and seven of the Atlas was about 2,000 acres.


Included in this area are two large subdivisions, name- ly, the Camp Ground lots, so called, and the Kingsbury Beach lots. Enlargements of these two subdivisions will be included in the Atlas as the work is continued.


We know that there is considerable acreage in this area that heretofore escaped taxation. There are instances where investigation of titles will be necessary to clear up ownership of some parcels.


In our 1934 report we made a review of what we had : accomplished since 1929 when this work was started and to this report we refer you for a more complete analysis of the work. We find to date that we have surveyed and plot- ted about 7,000 acres at a total cost of $2,500.00. This amounts to about 35 cents per acre which is exceedingly reasonable inasmuch as work of this nature usually is around $1.00 per acre. Thirty-five cents per acre is com- mensurate with airplane photo costs.


55


The chairman of the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Ralph Chase, has asked me for an estimate on what appropriation would be needed to complete the Atlas. An estimate of this nature is quite difficult to give because of so many unknown factors entering into it. However, I believe that an appro- priation of $1,000.00 would complete the surveying and plotting of the Atlas and would enable us to make a title study in the Registry of Deeds of many of the unknown ownerships. With this amount in one appropriation we could accomplish a great deal more than if it is split in two as it enables us to keep men on the job who are thor- oughly familiar with the work.


It will be well for the taxpayers to know that this work, from the start, has more than paid for itself and is making money for the town yearly. In other words, due to this work, and the efficiency and economy of its working, the town has already been repaid in cash to the amount of $2,500 (all the cash outlay) and is making, yearly, several hundred additional dollars. This is a very vital point and well worth seriously considering.


In conclusion we trust that this report is accepted favorably and wish to thank all the town officers, residents and taxpayers for their co-operation in this work.


Respectfully submitted,

Besides these books several books have been replaced. A sub-library is being tried out at the north part of the town, but as yet very few are making use of it. We are in hopes that more will find it a help and use this privilege of getting books, at Mrs. Daisy Gill's. Simply send a list of books wanted and they will be sent every two weeks to Mrs. Gill's, the 19th of January, 2nd of February, 16th of February and so on.


During the year a large number of non-fiction has been borrowed from the Division of Public libraries at the State

house, which has been a great help. The Division also gave several books to the juvenile department.


I attended the Cape Cod Library club at Barnstable in Sepember, which is always a great help to all librarians.
