REPORT OF THE STATE AUDIT


January 26,1959


To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Maurice W. Wiley, Chairman Eastham, Massachusetts


Gentlemen :


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Eastham for the period from August 30, 1956 to December 6, 1958, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwarz, Assistant Director of Accounts.


Very truly yours,


HERMAN B. DINE Director of Accounts


Mr. Herman B. Dine Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston


Sir :


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Eastham for the period from August 30, 1956, the date of the pre- vious audit, to December 6, 1958, and report thereon as follows :


48


The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the books of the town treasurer and the town accountant.


The books and accounts in the office of the town ac- countant were examined and checked. The receipts, as re- corded, were checked with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's books, while the payments were checked with the treasury warrants signed by the selectmen and with the treasurer's cash book. The appropriations and transfers were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the authorizations of the finance committee for transfers from the reserve fund.


The town accountant's ledgers were analyzed, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was pre- pared showing the financial condition of the town on Decem- ber 6, 1958.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were com- pared with the town accountant's books, with the records in the departments in which money was collected for the town, and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the approval warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book footings were verified, and the cash balance on December 6, 1958 was proved by verification of the cash in the office and by reconcilization of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.


The payments of maturing debt and interest, as record- ed, were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.


The records of employees' payroll deductions were


49


examined, checked, and reconciled with the town account- ant's ledger controls.


The records of tax titles held by the town were exam- ined and checked. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the re- corded redemptions and foreclosures were verified, and the tax titles on hand were listed and proved.


The records of tax possessions acquired by the town by foreclosure of tax titles were examined and checked. The foreclosures were verified and the sales of tax posses- sions were checked with the treasurer's cash book. The tax possessions on hand were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.


The transactions of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were verified. and the savings bank books and securties representing the investments of these funds were examined and listed.


Receipts from the Timothy Smith Fund were verified by comparing the payments to the town as reported by the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Trustee, with the recorded receipts in the treasurer's cash book. A schedule showing the condition of these funds has been prepared by analyzing statements of transactions affecting the funds as furnished by the Trustee.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were exam- amined and checked in detail. The tax and excise accounts outstanding at the time of the previous audit. as well as all subsequent commitments lists, were audited and proved with the warrants issued for their collection. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer. the abatements were compared with the assessor's records of abatements granted, the amounts transferred to the tax title account were verified. and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger controls.


50


The commitments of departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasuerr, and the out- standing accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.


In order to verify the outstanding accounts, notices were mailed to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies re- ceived thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, the town clerk, the building inspector, and the police department were examined and checked, and the pay- ments to the State and to the town treasurer were verified.


The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.


The available records of all other departments in which money was collected for the town were examined and checked, and the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, tax title, tax possession, and departmental accounts, together with schedules show- ing the transactions and condition of the trust funds.


While engaged in making the audit cooperation was re- ceived from all officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appre- ciation.

In a continued effort to improve the procedure of assess- ment work and to assure ourselves that the present system

of assessing is suitable and efficent we have made a com- parative study of other formulas being used in New Eng- land. Although some of these formulas are more complicated the final results were equivalent with our procedure. Also, during this past year a very satisfactory filing of sub- division and road maps was completed.

REPORT OF EASTHAM APPEAL BOARD


For 1959


December 28, 1959


To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :


The year of 1959 has seen, in Eastham, an extension of the bustling building activity that characterized the reces- sion-recovery year of 1958, although perhaps at a somewhat reduced rate, especially in those sections of the town lying within the boundaries of the proposed Cape Cod National Seashore Park. There is no doubt that the subject of the Park, with all its contingent uncertainties and yet-un- decided questions as to final limits, established policies of land acquisition, government recreation development with- in the area, zoning law regulations to be established by the Secretary of the Interior, and the eventual effect on the tax rate, economy and future development of the town, has been the most dominating influence upon the thinking and actions of the townspeople during this past year. Judg- ing from the greatly diminished number of Appeal Board hearing requests, which, in fact, totaled only slightly over one-third of last year's number, one is led to the conclusion that numerous contemplated projects have been either in- definitely postponed or completely abandoned. Once the Park plans and boundaries have been crystallized, however, and if it can be logically determined and shown that this Park will not be an unresolvably disruptive influence on the economy of the Town and the Cape, there should be a rapid return to normally expanding building activity and land development.


Only nine cases were heard by the Board in 1959, in


59


contrast to the twenty-six cases of the year 1958, and these are listed below, in chronological order of hearing, under the names of the appellants and indicating the final dis- position of each. Further information regarding these hear- ings and any restrictions or stipulations which may have been imposed in certain instances may be found on file in the Town Clerk's office.


1. Jan. 28. Charles W. and Norma Chase Granted


2. Jan. 28. LeRoy E. Kelley, Jr. .... Granted


3. Feb. 18. Dr. Clyde C. Christiansen Granted


4. Feb. 18. Melville L. Richardson Denied


5. April 1. Walter E. and Margaret G. Gavin Granted


6. May 27. Howard Neidel Granted


7. Oct. 21. Delbert M. Johnson, Sr. Frances C. C. Johnson


David E. Johnson


Henry L. Moreno


R. Stella Moreno Granted


8. Dec. 2. Elnathan E. Eldredge Granted


9. Dec. 2. Dr. Clyde C. Christiansen Granted


It is to be noted with interest that five of the above nine cases were brought before the Board under Section V-A of the Zoning Code dealing with uses in the "Permis- sive Use" area along Route 6. Motels with Gift Shops in conjunction therewith have continued to dominate the hear- ing picture since the adoption of this section at the 1958 Annual Town Meeting.


The Protective By-Law Review Committee, which the Town voted to continue for another year under Article 32 of the 1959 Annual Town Meeting, has been viewing with some alarm the increasing number of motels that are spring- ing up along Route 6. and the fact that the Appeal Board has little or no control over this situation in that the appellant in such a case need only establish that his re-


60


quested use would not be injurious, noxious or offensive to the neighborhood. There is, therefore, a strong feeling among the members that it would be well for the Town to vote to rescind the "Permissive Use" section of the Zoning Code for the present and until such time as the National Park boundaries and program procedures are more definitely established. The Committee and the Appeal Board further feel that :


1. There definitely will be a Cape Cod National Seashore Park, and that the "when", "where", and details of taking and planning will consume several years time ;


2. The Town should not tread water until all Park de- tails are settled and complete ;


3. The retaining of the firm of Blair Associates of Prov- dence, Rhode Island, to make a rather hasty but never- less worthwhile and amazingly thorough survey to determine the economic impact of the establishment of a National Park on the Town of Eastham was, of itself, a good beginning but only a beginning ;


4. The Town should not attempt to zone itself through adoption of piece-meal, year-by-year planning, pro- posed by very well-intentioned but nevertheless ama- teur, spare-time, and helplessly and humanly biased local citizenry, but, instead, should retain a well- established, competent, impersonal, professional organ- ization to plan and zone the town to insure its most prosperous and efficient future growth with the Park as a reality.


It has again been my privilege and pleasure, in this year of 1959, to have had the faithful, cooperative and at- tentive services of the same group of gentlemen who served on the Board in 1958, namely, Mr. John D. Leary, Mr. Clyde L. Becker, Mr. George D. Dickie, Mr. Philip S. Horton, Jr., and Mr. Harold Jennings. Mr. Ralph L. Ormsby kindly con- sented to become a member of the Board as an alternate


61


last spring, thus bringing the Board to its full quota for the first time since adoption of the by-law increasing the number of members from five to seven.


Mrs. Catherine DeVille continues as the Board's faith- ful, efficient and most helpful clerk and stenographer whose services are indispensable to an activity of this kind.


Once again this year the Board is indebted to Mr. Eugene S. Zack of the Planning Board and Mr. Ralph L. Rogers, the Town Building Inspector, for their steady at- tendance at the hearings and for their helpful and con- structive comments.


As a final thought I would like, personally, to stress and emphasize the seriousness and gravity of the situation in which the lower Cape towns find themselves as a result of the impending establishment of a Cape Cod National Sea- shore Park. Every property owner and voter of this town and the five others immediately affected should consider it his bounden duty to study the situation thoroughly and to the best of his ability. He should plan to attend without fail, any and all special and annual town meetings, and then and there actively discuss and sensibly vote on meas- ures proposed by responsible town officials and designed to improve the town's situation on a Cape Cod with a Seashore Park as an existing reality. The whole economic, social and political future of these six towns of the Lower Cape is certain to be greatly altered from its present course by the establishment of the Park as proposed, and it will only be by timely and expert planning that the individual towns will effectively be able to cope with their individual prob- lems and steer a proper and economically solvent course to a prosperous future.


Respectively submitted,


DAVID L. MEAD. Chairman

REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT.


Board of Health Town of Eastham Massachusetts


Records in this office of cases of reportable communi- cable diseases occuring 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 pre- valent during childhood, 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 recommend- ations. and efforts will be made to implement others.
