Respectfully Submitted Elizabeth J. Power Town Treasurer
REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN, MOTH SUPERINTENDENT AND SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC GROUNDS
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell:
Weather conditions during 1966, because of nearly normal rainfall, were more favorable for the growing of grass and trees than in the past several years. Our grass areas required more frequent mowings than in the past. Hopefully, our new plantings of trees and shrubs will respond favorably to this added moisture. Mature trees, particularly sugar maples, which have suffered from drought and generally poor growing conditions will probably continue to decline in vigor.
It is gratifying to note that there has been considerable planting of trees and shrubs on the section of the Southeast Expressway which passes through Norwell. We are supplementing this planting with trees on ad- jacent roadsides. Approximately seventy trees have been planted in this effort.
The number of elm trees on our roadsides, or in fact anywhere in our town, is slowly diminishing. This is of course due to a condition known as Dutch Elm Disease. Research has provided us with no new method, cure, or indeed hope which can stop the effects of Dutch Elm Disease.
There was no serious defoliation of shade trees in 1966 because of insect pests. However, some spraying is always required to control leaf-feeding insects. Every attempt is made to use less-toxic materials so that the general environment is affected as little as possible.

Poison ivy control was carried out where requested and along road- sides.
Norwell High School's football games were played at the Hanover Regional Vocational Technical field this year. Excellent cooperation was had by all concerned. This was probably the best solution to the limited playground areas we now have. It is apparent that if we expect to play athletic contests on turf areas, there is a need for considerably larger playgrounds. If playground areas are to be maintained to insure reason- able playing conditions, they must be constructed according to certain specifications. These specifications must include proper grades, drainage, soil, and grass species. To maintain turf playgrounds in a reasonable condition will require considerable equipment, materials, and labor.
In closing I wish to thank our employees and the other town depart- ments for their cooperation and help during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
Wesley H. Osborne, Jr. Tree Warden Moth Superintendent and Superintendent of Public Grounds
REPORT OF THE VETERANS AGENT AND THE VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Mass.
Gentlemen:
This department paid $6,619.39 for the first eleven months of 1966, for Veterans Benefits. Expenditures for the month of December are not yet completed, but are estimated at $1,008.21; making a total of $7,627.60 for the year. This compares with an expenditure of $4,414.80 for the year 1965. However, there were a maximum of three recipients in 1965 compared with six in 1966.
Many are unaware of the services provided by this department. Vet- erans and their dependents are financially aided in terms of rent, food, clothing, personal needs, medical and hospital needs, and other areas of an emergency nature. Generally speaking, to be elegible for such aid, one must be a Veteran, having insufficient resources to meet the afore- mentioned needs. Such Veterans include those involved in a labor dispute, those suddenly finding themselves without employment, through no fault of their own, or those accidentally and temporarily disabled.
As Service officer this department will furnish any information con- cerning Veterans affairs, as well as aid any Veteran in processing a claim for any benefit he is interested in and eligible to obtain.
The phone number of this department is listed under the Town of Norwell, Veterans Services. Please call after 6:00 P.M. weekdays and
184
anytime weekends. The Town Manager will locate this Agent during week- days prior to 6:00 P.M. in the event of an emergency.
I wish to extend my appreciation and thanks to Mr. Chase, the Town Manager, to the Town Officers, to the secretarial staff of the Town Hall, and to the Norwell Lions Club for their providing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to needy Veterans and their families.
Respectfully submitted, Leonard W. Rowe, Jr. Veterans 'Agent

3. Loaning equipment, such as hospital beds, walkers, wheel chairs, crutches, and wide variety of bedside materials. This equipment is available, free of charge, to any resident of the town.
4. Giving a Nursing Scholarship to Norwell High School graduates.
5. Maintaining a monthly well-child clinic.
6. Assisting the Board of Health at clinics.
In the last year we have added to the above list:
1. New babies and their mothers have been visited by one of our nurses, given a small gift and told of services available to them,
2. Twenty-nine young people received certificates on completion of a baby sitting course sponsored by the Visiting Nurse Association, under the able direction of Mrs. Thomas Clark, R.N.
A description of the services provided by our Association was com- bined with the Annual Appeal and mailed to all residents of the town. The response was most gratifying, and I would like to say a personal thank you to all members both old and new.
Our two rummage sales, the first Friday and Saturday of May and November continue to be our largest source of income. Without the dona- tions of goods and time by our friends they would not be possible.
The Sparrell Funeral Service continues to be an invaluable help to us by allowing rummage to be left and stored there at any time.
Respectfully submitted, Katherine R. Fuller President

REPORT OF THE WASHINGTON ST. CEMETERY COMMISSION
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Mass.
Gentlemen:
During this past year your Cemetery Committee has had the driveways re-surfaced with hot-top and it anticipated that this will last for many years. The Committee installed additional water faucets for the con- venience of the lot-holders. The Committee is asking the town to appro- priate a sum of money to acquire additional land for expansion of the present cemetery since there are only a few more lots available for sale.
If the townspeople wish to avail themselves of lots the prices are as follows:
2 graves $ 50.00 plus $150.00 perpetual care
4 graves 100.00 plus $200.00 perpetual care
6 graves 150.00 plus $200.00 perpetual care
The townspeople can call 659-2824 or 659-2252 for further information.
We are indebted to the Park Commission for the well-kept look of the grounds and wish to thank that committee for the fine work.
Both the Police and Fire Departments have had monuments placed in the Cemetery as Memorial Stones, we were very happy to have them placed there since the stones are real improvements in "Our Town Cemetery" look,
Respectfully submitted, William D. Jacobs John R. Reardon Wilder A. Gaudette

REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS
Board of Selectmen Norwell, Mass.
Gentlemen:
The following is our report for the 1966 Annual Town Report:
At the 1966 March Meeting the Town voted according to Articles 40 and 42 to authorize the Water Commissioners to acquire land for a new well site and to install pumping facilities thereon. The site is now owned by the Town and the new pumping facilities have supplied water to the system since August 8, 1966.
During the year the Board continued to test for new water source areas. Several promising areas were found and extensive pumping tests were made at two locations to determine if these areas are suitable for water source sites. We expect the determinations to be made before the coming March Meeting.
As authorized by Article 41 of the 1966 March Meeting a section of Water Main on Main Street near the High School was reinstalled before the street section containing the main was lowered and resurfaced.
Articles 37 and 38 - The Board expects to have reports on these articles before the coming March Meeting.
During the year no water main extensions were installed by the De- partment. However, main extensions are planned for 1967.
New Stand Pipe. We expect to have a report on this project for the coming March Meeting.

REPORT OF THE WILLIAM J. LEONARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY
Norwell Board of Selectmen Norwell, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
We wish to report that 1966 has seen a 15% increase in circulation over 1965 and a 30% increase over 1964. There were 312 new cards issued, 60 adult and 152 juvenile, giving a total of 917 regular borrowers.
In 1966 over 500 new books were purchased and many books in excel- lent condition were donated by the generous people of Norwell to whom we extend our gratitude.
Our Memorial Book Service has been honored by the Norwell Fair Housing Association by a book donation in memory of an American soldier who gave his life in Viet Nam. You are invited to participate in this com- memerative memorial service.
Student reading certificates were given to all that participated in our summer reading program. Due to school reading facilities and conflicting hours between the library and the summer recreation program, circula- tion in the juvenile department was kept down. In 1967 we shall have the same hours year round.
New tile flooring was installed throughout the library and the entire building is being shingled.
As in the past the problem of inadequate space is most evident to our borrowers and librarians. The population increases each year and the number of new borrowers increases each year, but our library remains 13 1/2 feet by 22 ft. Our student work space is still one table and four chairs, when occupied, blocks the aisle used by browsers. An ever in- creasing number of Norwell citizens are obtaining out of town library cards. The students of today are the leaders of tomorrow and deserve a better library in their own town. The quality of the town library depends on the will of the people. We need a new library.
The courtesies extended us by Combination No. 2 of the Fire Depart- ment and Gaudettes Service Station are greatly appreciated.
The trustees wish to thank the librarians who have worked very hard to improve the library and extend to all borrowers unlimited service.
The hours for 1967 are as follows: Monday & Wednesday 2 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.
Tuesday & Thursday 7 P.M. to 9:30 P.M.
Friday 7 P.M. to 9:00 P.M.
Saturday
10 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.
A cordial invitation is extended to all to come and visit with us.
Respectfully submitted, Claire E. Foulsham, Trustee Lorraine Duty, Trustee John Lindsay, Trustee
