Last year all subdivision plans were examined and re- assessments made on all lots to bring about an equaliza- tion of values. The year previous acreage was reassessed to equalize the values. The past few years the assessors have been using a valuation form for assessing buildings which has equalized the value of assessment. It is possible that some older buildings may be over or under assessed, but spot checks have proved that the variances have been small.
In 1958 six requests for re-inspection were made and abatements were granted amounting to $95.90. The reason for these over-assessments was that the buildings were closed during the winter when the assessments were made and it was not known that construction was not completed.
In view of the above, the Assessors do not feel that ex- cessive expenditures for a complete re-assessment of the Town are warranted.

Report of Eastham Appeal Board
December 31, 1958
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
The year of 1958 has been one of greatly increased activity for the Eastham Appeal Board as was anticipated at this same time a year ago. Although we here on the Cape were constantly being informed through the common communication media of newspapers, magazines, periodicals, radio, and television, of the fact that the United States was in the throes of a typical and rather severe post-war reces- sion, the ever-increasing building activity here in new re- tirement homes, summer cottages, commercial buildings such as food retail stores, public buildings, notably new schools, and especially in the amazingly fast-growing motel- type accommodation, would hardly permit us to believe such talk or to feel any adverse effects. The Town of East- ham very thankfully was blessed with its fair share of these expanded building operations, which fact automatically in- creased the number of situations in which a need for action on the part of the Appeal Board was required. Another fac- tor involved very definitely in the enlarged number of cases for hearings was the passage at the last annual town meet- ing of Articles 29 and 30 in the Annual Town Meeting Warrant calling for the creation of a "permissive use area" along Route 6 from the Orleans to the Wellfleet town line and defining or limiting the number and type of uses to be allowed therein.
A total of twenty-six cases were heard by the Board in 1958, and these are listed below in chronological order of hearing, under the names of the appellants, together with
58
final disposition of each. It should be emphasized here that in the great majority of petitions granted, the Board found it advisable and necessary to impose certain restrictions and make various stipulations.

Under Article 22 of the last Annual Town Meeting War- rant it was unanimously voted to continue for another year the Protective By-Law Review Committee of which the members of the Appeal Board are an integral part. This committee has been relatively inactive until late this last

Dino A. Viprino
fall when a series of meetings were held under the able chairmanship of Warrenton A. Williams. It was the con- sidered opinion of the committee members that no further major changes in the actual zoning of the town should be studied or proposed until such time as the report and pro- posals of the government survey team investigating the possibilities of establishment of a National Park of Cape Cod has been made public and had been well reviewed and evaluated.
Your Appeal Board and Chairman, however, have ex- perienced, from the very beginning, a rather considerate difficulty in securing from appellants properly and fully completed application forms and where required, reason- ably neat and carefully scaled and properly engineered plans on standard paper and of standard sizes. We, there- fore, have caused to be drawn up a somewhat more com- prehensive list of local rules and regulations for the pre- sentation of cases to the Board than the list that is presently on file in the Town Clerk's office. We have asked that this lists be made either a part of the present Zoning By-Law booklet, or of a proposed new booklet which shall contain all the by-laws of the town under one cover. This latter step we favor very strongly as one that has proved itself to be very economical and helpful in other towns of the Cape.
