STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT
December 31, 1960
Board of Selectmen
Eastham, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
This is to certify that the books and accounts of the town of Eastham were audited by the Bureau of Accounts. Department of Corporations and Taxation, as of November 12, 1960, at which time they were found to be correct with all funds properly accounted for.
A detailed report of the audit will be forwarded as soon as possible.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM SCHWARTZ
Assistant Director of Accounts

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS
To the Taxpayers and Residents of the Town of Eastham :
The Board of Assessors respectfully submits this re- port for the year ending December 31, 1960.
The Assessors' Maps presently in use were drafted in the year 1937. Since that time there have been several changes in road bounds and road locations. Also, there have been many sub-divisions of large acreages which could be incorporated to advantage. For these reasons the current maps are obsolete. Therefore, we are asking for $800.00 for the purpose of having some of these maps revamped and brought up to date.
It is doubtful whether the increase in valuation will reach that of last year but at this date we feel that it will be great enough to cover the increase in the budget. The increase in valuation in 1959 was $401,955.00 and the in- crease in 1960 was $502,605.00, as shown below.

REPORT OF EASTHAM APPEAL BOARD
Dec. 29, 1960
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
As the year 1960 draws to a close, the people of the Cape, and of most immediate interest, the townspeople of Eastham, once again find themselves in somewhat of a quandry as to just how to plan their business and family futures. The scope and final provisions of the proposed Cape Cod National Sea- shore Park and the ultimate effect upon the economy of the Town and the economic life of each family and individual living and working herein remain an unsettled and unsettling matter. A considerable amount of money has been authorized and spent to obtain a planning study for the Town of East- ham with relation to the proposed Cape Cod National Sea- shore Park and to insure proper and adequate representation for the Town at the numerous Congressional and National Park Service hearings which have been held both on the Cape and in Washington, D. C., during the past year. Although it may seem at first glance that we are no further along than when first word of the Proposed Park was publicized, it is a certainty that the investigation, interrogation and testimony of the past several years has been of great benefit to those in authority, from whose minds and pens the final proposal will come, and through whose efforts the final draft will be en- acted. With the election of John F. Kennedy to the Presi- dency for the next four years, we will have a man in the White House, after January 20, 1961, who has a home on the Cape, who was one of the original sponsors of the present bill to establish a National Seashore Park here, and who has pledged his efforts toward securing the final passage of this bill. Such being the situation, one should not be judged rash
57
in assuming that there definitely will be a park here on the Cape, and, if such is to be, then let us pray for considered treatment but for as speedy passage as is consistent with proper and comprehensive planning, so that the Cape and its towns and peoples may proceed more confidently and sensibly with intermediate and long range planning and development.
Either a new burst of confidence in the beneficial effects of the establishment of a Cape Cod National Seashore Park or a rash of speculative interest in possible generous govern- ment payments for the taking of developed land, has prompted the subdividing and development of three or four sizeable parcels of land which lie within the proposed boun- daries as defined in the present bill before Congress. Ap- peal Board activity has also increased this year, with thir- teen cases being heard as against only nine in the year 1959, when it appeared that the Townspeople had tend- ed to curtail somewhat their building and development projects while attempting to assess the possibility of a definite establishment of a National Seashore Park and of its eventual effect upon the lives and businesses of Eastham- ers. The 1960 cases are listed below, in chronological order of hearing, under the names of the appellants and indi- cating the final disposition of each case. Further informa- tion regarding these hearings, and any restrictions and/ or stipulations which may have been imposed in certain in- stances, may be found on file in the office of the Town Clerk.

Six or almost half of the above cases were brought be- fore the board under Section 7 of the zoning By-Laws which makes provision for dealing with uses of land and buildings that are "non-conforming" at the time of adop- tion of a zoning Code by a town or municipality. This clearly points up the need and importance of providing for fair and proper control and development of those buildings, structures, or land uses which are involuntarily made "non-conforming" by a vote of the town and a sig- nature of the Attorney General.
At the last annual Town Meeting on Feb. 15, 1960, Articiles 24, 25, and 26 were voted as amendments to the zoning By-law, but because insufficient time had been al- lowed to lapse between the first official advertising date and the time of the Planning Board hearing on the proposed amendments, as required by law, the Attorney General ruled the Town vote on these articles invalid. A special town meeting was required to be held later in the spring in order to act again on these artieles.
Article 25 of the original Town Warrant rescinds the "Permissive Use" area along Route 6 from the Eastham- Orleans town line to the railroad crossing in North Eastham and this, of course, had the most far-reaching effects of any of the amended changes, having cut the number of appli- cations to the Board under this Section 5-A from five in 1959 to two this year.
59
The Protective By-Law Review Committee was dis- charged under Article 28 of the annual Town Meeting and it seems fair to say that no broad changes in the Zoning By-Law will be proposed until there has been definite and final action on the proposed National Seashore Park.
Two court cases are pending as a result of the Board's decisions, wherein, in each case, the Board determined that the appeals should not be granted on the weight of the evidence presented. These cases as listed for the year are :
No. 3. Emanuel Eagle, D.M.D., and No. 8, David J. and Mary T. Johnson.
The membership of the Appeal Board has changed during the past year, with the term of Mr. John D. Leary expiring and Mr. Clyde L. Becker moving with his family to New York State. The Town and the Board are indebted to these men for their faithful and conscientious past ser- vices. The Board is now at its full strength of five mem- bers and two associate members. they being: Mr. George D. Dickie, Mr. Philip S. Horton Jr., Mr. Harold Jennings, Mr. Edwin A. Johnson, Mr. David L. Mead, Mrs. Catherine De Ville and Mr. Ralph L. Ormsby.
Mrs. De Ville is now serving as an associate member as well as clerk of the Board and is again to be commended for her faithful attendance and her indispensable and effi- cient performance of the clerical duties.
The Board again wishes to acknowledge the consis- tent attendance of Mr. Ralph L. Rogers, the Town Build- ing Inspector, and to thank him for his many helpful com- ments.
A personality who has in the past been a very steady attendant and helpful participator in Appeal Board hear-
60
ing discussions has been prevented from being present this year by ill health, Mr. Eugene S Zack. The Board wishes once again to thank Mr. Zack for his past aid and construc- tive interest, and to extend to him its heartiest wishes for a speedy return to good health.
With the passage of some form of Cape Cod National Seashore Park bill virtually assured now, with Mr. Ken- nedy in the White House, and whether it be this year, next year, or four years from now, it still behooves us to take cognizance of the profound and far-reaching effects that this up-coming event will have upon our lives, our proper- ties, our businesses and our financial and social future, and that of our children. Extensive study and competent, com- prehensive planning are called for in order to insure that Eastham proceeds along the proper path to its economic destiny with the Seashore Park as a reality and an integral part of the Cape economy. However, the day of the part- timer and the jack-of-all-trades in community planning, as in other fields of endeavor, is over. The complicated social and economic life existing at this present juncture of the twentieth century calls for the specialist in order to obtain the proper and desired result. Serious thought should be given and active steps taken to secure the ser- vices of professional planning and development consul- tants and advisors who should eventually be authorized to prepare a master plan of the Town of Eastham, with the Park as an existing reality, and with coordination of planning with adjacent towns as an important considera- tion. Only by this means can we hope to be able to deal ef- fectively with the economic and social development prob- lems facing us, and "steer a proper and economically sol- vent course to a prosperous future."

REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPT. FOR THE YEAR 1960
To : Board of Health Town of Eastham Massachusetts
During the year, a fourth dose of poliomyelitis vaccine was offered to all children in the schools of this county. A survey of the immunization status of children in the schools indicates that a very high proportion of them have received the recommended number of doses of vaccine. We also have found that children entering school in the kindergarten and first grades this year, had for the most part received the necessary immunizations prior to entering school. No cases of poliomyelitis were reported during the year.
There has been no great change in the routine work of the Department during the year.
The staff has been increased by the addition of another sanitary inspector. The position has been filled by the ap- pointment of Mr. Richard Sturtevant of South Wellfleet. After serving as sanitary inspector for a period of thirty- four years, Mr. George Crocker will retire on Jan. 1, 1961.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Taxpayers and Residents of the
Town of Eastham :
The Board is pleased to report that during the past year no serious problems were encountered, for such prob- lems would tend to endanger the citizens of the Town with substantial hardship to their general health and welfare.
Admittedly, our public beach facilities do need a re- examination, and every effort will be made to rectify this situation during the ensuing Summer seasons.
An increase in the budget for 1961 has been requested and the money used in the school dental clinic.

The Association is especially proud to report that it was able, during the year, to purchase a badly needed 1960 Cadillac ambulance without having to seek additional funds from the three towns. This was occasioned by the slow but steady building of the replacement fund since the purchase of the last ambulance in 1954.
During the year, the ambulance travelled approxi- mately 17,746 miles. Both the number of trips and mileage show an increase in each successive year, which is the re- flection of the growth the three towns are experiencing.
The ambulance is available for emergency use at the call of a doctor or the police at any time. There is no charge for the service, other than oxygen, but the Associa- tion is glad to receive donations to aid in meeting its expenses.
The active interest shown in the operation of this ser- vice by the community is very gratifying to the Associa- tion's members who are constantly seeking more efficient methods in the overall operation of the ambulance.
