The money spent from this Chapter 90 appropriation was the continuation of the construction of Ocean View Drive.
There is more work to be done on this project before the road will be completed.
The asphalt mix has been applied to only about one-half of the road, this being the southerly part of the road or the part which connects with the Nauset Beach Road, a distance of about twenty-three hundred feet. The northly end, or end connecting with the Cable road, has had an application of asphalt sprayed on for the purpose of holding the road in shape until the Town approves another appropriation for the completion of this project.
Other work to be done on this road besides applying asphalt mix to the part not yet done is grading shoulders and sloping banks.
The Town is asking for an appropriation this year to complete the road in 1953.
This road has opened up a great development which in time will be a large asset to the Town.
There has been a great deal of interest shown by tran- sients wanting to buy lots adjoining this road.

Library Trustees Report For Year 1952
The Trustees held four meetings during the year.
At the request of the school board the trustees voted to allow each teacher the use of ten books per month for their pupils and offered to cooperate with them in any possible way.
The trustees requested Mr. Norman Crane, well known Boston adjuster, to appraise the library building. Mr. Crane did so without charge to the town. Fire insurance was in- creased to $9000.00, the appraised value.
Two donations of books were accepted, with thanks to the donors.
It was voted by the trustees to have the walls and ceiling of the library insulated when the town hall is insulated.
The trustees note with regret that Mrs. Helen Clark is not again to be a candidate for re-election as trustee, after many years of faithful service.
Respectfully submitted,
DORRICE MAYO, Chairman HELEN G. CLARK NATALIE W. EATON, Secretary

Report of the Old Mill
To the Selectmen of the Town of Eastham :
More than 8000 people visited the Old Mill this past Summer and signed the Guest Book, and probably a third more who did not sign.
There were new signs erected, which helped a lot.
The Mill was in operation several times during the Summer and we sold about 400 pounds of meal.
The receipts for the season were :
Sales
$415.57
Donations
392.27
Total $807.84
The Mill is operating better than it has been for some time, due mostly to the efforts of Robert Whiting. How- ever, the Mill still will not run without wind.

Report of Committee on Repair of Old Wind Mill
To the Board of Selectmen :
The Committee appointed at the 1952 annual Town Meeting for the purpose of restoring the Old Wind Mill to operating condition makes the following report :
106
After duly organizing we made a thorough survey of the mill. It was found necessary to realign the shaft, the rear bearing, and main drive gear; also the pitch of the arms was increased slightly, and the mechanism that lifts the top stone was corrected.
These things, along with other minor adjustments, re- stored the Mill once more to operating condition without the installation of a new shaft.

Report of Shellfish Constable
To the Board of Selectmen :
During the year a total of 228 bu. of quahogs were plant- ed in Salt Pond, and river.
Number of non-commercial permits issued were 981 at 50 cents each; 195 non-resident permits were issued at one dollar each; 37 commercial licenses were issued for Cape Cod Bay at five dollars each, and 20 commercial permits at two dollars were issued for inland waters.
During the year a rough estimate, from 15,000 to 18,000 bushels of bay scallops were taken from Cape Cod Bay, at approximately $100,000.
At the present time there is a very good setting of scallop seed in the Town Cove and in Cape Cod Bay.
The flats of the West Shore show very few signs of any shellfish.
198 bushels of oysters were planted in Salt Pond and river.
