Report of Board of Selectmen
-
To the Taxpayers of Eastham :
The time has again come for the officials of your Town to place before you, for your perusal, the accomplishments of the past year and the hopes for the future.
You will note that the Town is in good financial con- dition. There was a slight increase in the number of build- ing permits issued. The sale of Real Estate has been good. This would indicate that the increase in the valuation of the Town will be approximately the same as in the last few years.
The survey for the relocation, widening and straighten- ing of Nauset Road, as requested last year, has been com- pleted and will be acted upon this year. It is hoped that, with money given to the Town by the State under Chapter 718, another road project may be undertaken this year. Doane Road, from Little Creek Road to the Coast Guard Beach parking lot at the end of Doane Road, is dangerous and should be corrected.
As with all other Towns having Salt water beaches, each year sees more people taking advantage of them. With the fast growing population and the steady increase in vacationists a great problem is confronting us. Cape Cod is becoming more popular as the roads improve, and it is estimated that the new Mid-Cape highway will be com- pleted in 1958. Eastham will be the only Town on Cape Cod which is not by-passed by the new highway. Also, it is reported that there is a large sign just this side of New York City which states that the road is a "Through-
7
way to Cape Cod". Before it is too late it must be decided whether Town, State or Federal ownership of the beaches is best for the Town. All three have their good and bad points. Only one factor to be considered is the fact that many more cars are driving on the beaches today where a few years ago only a limited number of beach buggies traveled across the sand. Another thing to be considered is the eleven acres of land which the Town owns south of Nauset Light, and it is hoped that, with the co-operation of of the Planning Board, some developments of this area will be started this year.
The boat yard at Rock Harbor, on Town property, which is being conducted by Mr. William Hoffman, has been a great accommodation to the fishing fleet.
The Old Windmill is still as great an attraction as ever. Termites were found in it this year and an exterminator was called in. We believe his work has successfully arrested the termites.
Bountiful Salt Pond has been a source of pleasure, as usual. Quahaugs were plentiful and many bushels of clams were taken this past year. The oyster program was nearly a complete failure, due to borers, but the opening of the soft-shell clam area compensated somewhat for the lack of oysters.
The Greenhead Fly control program appears to have been worth the try. With the surrounding towns going along with the program again this year it should be a suc- cess, and the cost to this town is less. This program should make for less gnats, ticks and flatiron flys as well as curb the Greenheads.
The article for a joint School and Town Nurse deserves your favorable consideration. It is felt that there is a
8
great need for a Town Nurse, and that need is increasing annually.
The Selectmen accepted, with regret, the resignation of Mr. Luther Brown, which was tendered because of ill health. He served the Town faithfully for several years as Director of Civil Defense.
The Selectmen wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation to all departments and committees for their co-operation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
MAURICE W. WILEY, Chm.
